Today I came across a true story that really got to me. A 37-year-old man with a PhD in medicine became an oncologist. When some of his patients couldn't afford surgery, he would pay for it out of his own pocket. Over the years, he lent out more than 400,000 RMB, and almost no one paid him back. He was always trying to save his patients money and prescribe cheaper medication, so his supervisors often called him in to talk about it. He was also busy doing research and didn't spend much time with his coworkers, so he didn't have very good relationships with them either. Then he got cancer himself. What hurt him even more was that some people actually mocked him: “You treat cancer. How did you end up getting cancer yourself?” Even some of the patients he'd helped didn't comfort him. Some of them said similar things. It hit him really hard. After he left his job, he went traveling and met an elderly lama. He told him: “I've saved a lot of people.” But the lama said: “They were meant to live. You didn't save them. You haven't really accomplished much in your life.” That hit him hard. He suddenly started looking back at his life. No girlfriend. No children. No major research achievements he could really be proud of. Near the end of his life, he kept asking himself: “Am I really a good person?” “Has my life been a failure?” After I watched his story, I kept thinking about it too: Was he really a good person? Maybe having a good heart isn't enough. We also need to learn how to take care of ourselves, build strong long-term relationships, understand human nature, and know which responsibilities aren't ours to carry alone. What do you think?

No headphones, no boarding? The other day, I was driving my friend to the airport. Right before we got there, he suddenly said, “Oh no, I forgot my headphones.” I said, “It’s okay. Not having headphones won’t stop you from getting on the plane.” But he said, “No, apparently there’s a new rule now. If you listen to music or watch videos on the plane without headphones, you might not even be allowed to board.” I was surprised. I said, “Really? There’s a rule like that now?” He said, “Yeah, it was in the news yesterday.” Then I thought about it and said, “Honestly, that sounds pretty good. Some people play music or videos out loud on planes, and it’s really annoying.” But he still looked a little annoyed. He said, “Yeah, but wearing headphones on a long flight can be uncomfortable too. I guess I really need to keep a pair with me from now on.” Useful phrases: 1. Oh no, I forgot my headphones. 糟糕,我忘带耳机了。 2. It’s okay. Not having headphones won’t stop you from getting on the plane. 没事啦,没耳机也不耽误坐飞机。 3. If you listen to music or watch videos on the plane without headphones, you might not even be allowed to board. 如果你在飞机上不戴耳机听音乐或看视频,可能都不让登机。 4. Some people play music or videos out loud on planes, and it’s really annoying. 有些人在飞机上外放音乐或者视频,真的挺烦人的。 5. Wearing headphones on a long flight can be uncomfortable. 长途飞机一直戴耳机会很不舒服。

A fun cooking day with my Mexican friend English Last weekend, I met up with my Mexican friend, and I taught her how to make tomato and egg, a simple Chinese home-style dish. She thought it was easy, and even though it was her first time making it, it turned out really delicious. She was also very creative. Instead of adding sugar and salt, she added black pepper and garlic, and it tasted really good. Then I asked her what Mexican dishes she could make. She said tacos, burritos, and quesadillas, but she didn’t know how to say them in Chinese. So I explained that they are all kinds of Mexican flatbread dishes. Taco is usually just called taco in Chinese. Burrito is often called 墨西哥牛肉卷饼 or 墨西哥鸡肉卷饼, depending on the filling, because it looks a bit like a Chinese wrap. Quesadilla is sometimes called 墨西哥芝士薄饼 or 墨西哥芝士馅饼, because the tortilla is very thin. In the end, we made a plan: next week, I’ll go to her place, and she’ll teach me how to make a Mexican quesadilla. 中文 上周末,我和我的一个墨西哥朋友见了面,我教她做了一道简单的中国家常菜:西红柿炒鸡蛋。她觉得这道菜很容易,虽然是第一次做,但做出来特别好吃。她也很有创意。我本来教她放一点糖和一点盐,但她加了黑胡椒和大蒜,结果味道也特别好。 后来我问她会做什么墨西哥菜。她说她会做 tacos、burritos 和 quesadillas,不过她不知道这些用中文怎么说。于是我就跟她解释,它们都算是墨西哥薄饼类食物。Taco 中文一般就直接叫 taco。Burrito 因为看起来有点像中国的卷饼,所以常常会说成“墨西哥牛肉卷饼”或者“墨西哥鸡肉卷饼”,要看里面包的是什么馅。Quesadilla 因为饼皮很薄,所以有时候会叫“墨西哥芝士薄饼”或者“墨西哥芝士馅饼”。 最后我们约好了,下周我去她家,她教我做墨西哥 quesadilla。
