It’s not easy to be a scientist’s son. Everybody expects you to be special or perfect.
Well, to be honest, I often dream about being some kind of hero or doing something special—like saving a child from a burning building or discovering a new star. I was daydreaming at school one morning when my teacher said there would be a Mother’s Day writing competition for the whole school “I hope we have a winner right here in my class.”
When I got home, I started to think about what to write. “My mother is a scientist.” N0, I wouldn’t start like that. That was the way others saw her. How did I see my mother? Hmm, I saw her sitting with me in the dark when I had a terrible dream. I remembered how she hugged me for hours when my dog Spotty was killed by a car. Yes, these were the things I was going to write. To me, she wasn’t just a world—famous scientist. She was my mom.
My parents and I went to school Thursday night. The third prize was announced(宣布) and it was not me. The second prize was announced. It was me!
I went up to the stage and read what I had written, “My mother’s son”. When I finished, the people stood up and cheered. Tears were running down my mother’s face. I saw my father blowing his nose. He cleared his throat and put his hand on my shoulder, “Son, this is the proudest moment of my life.’’
It was the proudest moment of my life, too. Maybe I’ll never be a great hero or win a Nobel Prize, but it was enough just to be my mother’s son.

The year of 2014 was very important for Chinese pop star Lu Han. In 2014, he decided to leave EXO, a band(乐队) from S-Korea(韩国) and also played a role in his first movie.
Lu first became popular in 2012 as a member of EXO. With his good looks and singing talent, the 24-year-old man soon got a lot of fans.

“Lu is in S-Korea for many years but he can’t go back home very often because he is very busy” , said his best friend, “As his parents are getting older, he wants to look after them more.”
Back home, he played a role in a movie called Miss Granny(《重返20岁》). In the movie, a 70-year-old grandma goes back to her 20s. Lu plays her grandson, a rock band singer. Lu said he felt nervous and excited when he made this movie. He worked hard and in one scene(场景), he had to ride a bike and fall off the bike.
