I was a little unhappy, though not very surprised. Because it was not the first time that my father was absent. As a manager in a big telecommunications(電信) company, my father was very busy with his work all year around. In fact, I didn’t have much time with him. Every time when I complained about it, my father always said, “Everyone has his duty(責(zé)任), and I have mine.”

Later, I had a chance to visit father’s company. He pointed to a big iron tower and said, “Son, that is a base station. Do you know that about 25 percent of the calls in our country are through the network we built?” “Wow!” “But it’s hard work. You know, China started late in many ways. We have to work hard and sometimes even give up time with family.”

Now, more and more people are amazed at the Chinese miracle(奇跡). If any foreign friend asks me what makes the Chinese miracle, I want to tell that behind the miracle there is always a story like my father’s.

The most popular reason given was that paper books bring a very different reading experience. US students said that they liked the smell of paper books. Other students said that they get a sense of achievement when they finish reading a paper book.

Paper books can also be very personal objects to lovers of reading. Many people like to write down their names on the inside cover. If there’s stain(污點(diǎn))from coffee or food, it’s all right. These accidents make the book even more personal. It’s as if readers of paper books make friends with them.
