 I like traveling and I have traveled a lot around China. During the trip, I often find that a number of Chinese don’t have good public manners(举止). They always loudly on the phone and smoke everywhere. The worst is that they often break the rules in public. For example, when I traveled in HongKong in January this year, I saw a kid eating noodles on the underground , which is against the rules. However, the kid’s mother didn’t think he did wrong. Can you believe it? Let’s improve our public manners. (Mike, Shenzhen) |
 I am a 14-year-old boy from a poor village in Fuyang, Anhui Province. Like many other left-behind children(留守儿童)in China, l live with my grandparents now. my father went to work inn Shanghai several years ago. Last year, my mother went there to care for him because his health is not as good as before. They tell me to listen to my grandparents and call me about twice a month to ask about my study.
