Ang Lee won the Best Director Oscar for his adventure film Life of Pi at the 85th Academy Awards in Hollywood, California February 24, 2013.
  Life of Pi shows a young Indian named Pi, who finds the world he knows swept away when his family sells their zoo and sets sail for Canada with a few animals. Only Pi escapes from the storm and floats in a lifeboat with a giant Bengal tiger.
  “I really want to thank you for believing this story and sharing this unbelievablejourney with me,” Lee said in his speech. The film also won three other Oscars, for best original music, best cinematography(电影艺术) and best visual(视觉) effects. It won more awards than Lincoln and Argo which were also among the hottest nominees.
  Coming from China's Taiwan, the 58-year-old Lee won an Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film in 2001 for Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and another for Best Director in 2006 for Brokeback Mountain.

In an after-ceremony interview, Lee said he believed Asian films would come to the main stage of the world sooner or later. "I was born in Asia and grew up with Chinese education. It is natural for me to put Asian thinking into Western things." The film, which cost 120 million U.S. dollars, has earned nearly 600 million dollars worldwide. Lee said most of the earnings came from outside China.

In today’s world many people seem to be hungry for money. Some of them even have lost their lives for it. Money does have a great effect on the poor, but if a person has a rich life, a lot more money doesn’t mean more happiness.
If money were everything, all millionaires(百万富翁)would have true love, real friendship, health and a long life. However, this is not always true.
Nothing else is more pleasant than the three words “I love you”, but can love be bought? I’m afraid not. Love means “give”, not “ take”. Health and a long life are precious(宝贵的)things for every person. Well, can health and a long life be bought with money? The answer is “No”. Of all the people who live longest in the world, few of them are millionaires. Real friendship can’t be bought, either.
In a word, where money is worshiped, money can cause brothers to quarrel, lovers to hate, strangers to fight and so on. No matter how much money you have, it is still not enough to make you a happy person if you have no one to laugh with and no one to cry for.

How can we keep the environment? One way is to remember the Four Rs: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, and Rebuy.
Reduce
We need to use reusable materials and products. We also need to reduce the packaging that is used for new goods in shops. It is important that we improve our use of paper, cardboard, glass, metal, plastic, and other materials.
Reuse
Very often we throw away items that still could be used. For example, we sometimes throw away clothes when they no longer fit us, or we buy some new furniture and throw away something that could be repaired. Other people could make use of these items. We need to change our bad habits.
Recycling
By recycling, we can make something new from something old. This saves natural resources(资源). It also helps to offer jobs.
Rebuying
If we buy recycled goods, we help to save resources and avoid waste. The money we spend also supports the recycling process. Remember the Four Rs!
Of course, there are many other ways to improve our environment, we know. Let’s try them.
