Herman planted the hot peppers （胡椒） in his five﹣hectare field in his town． The 36﹣year﹣old man put up a sign reading "Africa Hema Village" in Chinese， English and his native language． His first harvest will start this month． Herman studied in China from 2011 to 2018， receiving his master's degree and a doctorate in environmental science． He returned to Rwanda in 2018 with his wife， Yang Hong， who is from China， and started his own business． Hema Xiansheng CEO Hou Yi visited Rwanda to find quality products to bring to the Chinese market． Hot peppers were one of his discoveries． The couple helped Hou's team， from research to field trips， testing production processes （加工） and so on． They also helped Hema Xiansheng's purchasing （采购） manager， Chen Huifang， when she led a team of eight to visit Rwanda to research the possibilities of making hot pepper products that suit Chinese preferences．
"We wore rubber gloves when we touched them． Our fingers still felt hot the next day，" Chen said． Their research and development team spent four days studying and cooking the peppers． Transporting fresh hot peppers to China proved difficult， so the fresh peppers can't be imported （进口） into China． Then Chen's team decided to perform basic processing in Rwanda before shipping． Processing requires a careful balance． Too much salt will make the peppers less delicious． Too little， and the peppers may go bad． Because plastics mustn't be used in Rwanda， they had to find proper ways to carry the pepper sauce． The material they first used couldn't stand the long flights． Now Chen is happy to see that the pepper sauce has sold well in Hema's offline and online stores．
Herman pointed out that few local farmers grow hot peppers because the market is small． A small amount is sold to Europe． And local need is limited due to its spiciness． So， about half the harvest is wasted every year． A young man in Rwanda will only make 10 yuan （＄1.4）a day by working in the cities， but if they grow hot peppers due to Hema's orders， they can make 50 to 60 yuan a day． Herman expressed his willingness to introduce more people to make more money by farming， rather than working for lower incomes， when e﹣commerce （电子商务） can bring greater needs and sales．
"It's a chance for Rwandan people to join the new field and change their lives，" Herman said， "Through building more Hema Villages， Rwanda has the chance to become a country of digital agriculture．"

A primary school headmaster became the latest star on the Internet for dancing with his students.
Zhang Pengfei works in Xiguan Primary School in Linyi，Shanxi Province.Every morning，he leads 700 pupils to do the"ghost shuffle" routine on the playground.They dance for 30 minutes every day.They like dancing more than doing the old exercise routine，so they don't do the old one now.
"I thought we needed a change because the students lost interest in doing the old exercise routine though it was useful for pupils." Zhang told the reporter.After all，they started to do the old exercise routine in 1951.
Mr.Zhang saw a group of people doing the"ghost shuffle" routine by accident.Then he decided to learn it on his own."I thought the dance would be great for kids，" he said， "The music is energetic and it really makes children relax." In October 2018，he introduced the dance to all the pupils of his school.Soon even teachers and workers there joined in the activity.

Mr． Reynolds， my teacher， hand us a list of thoughts， and asked us to write a paper on one of those thoughts． I chose the topic "I wonder why things are the way they are．"
I wrote down all the questions that puzzled（困扰）me about life． I realized that many of them were hard to answer， and perhaps others could not be answered at all． When I handed in my paper， I was afraid that I might fail because I did not answer the question．
The next day， Mr． Reynolds handed me the paper and asked me to read it for the class． The other students became quiet as I began to read my story：
Mum， why are the roses red？ Why is the grass green and the sky blue？ Why do I have to graduate（毕业）？ Why do I have to grow up？ Why do I have to be called "Grandma" ，one day？…
Dad， why can't I stay out until 12： 00？ Why do I miss my old friends？ Why do I miss being at home？ Why do you love me so much？．．
Mum， Dad， why did you have to leave me？ I need you．
At the end of my story， I looked at Mr． Reynolds， and I saw a tear slowly coming down his face．Then I realized that life is not built on the answers we receive， but on the questions we ask．
