This year is the Year of "Niu"or the Ox.Many Chinese people believe it's a good year because they love the animal so much.
In Chinese culture， "laohuangniu" is a symbol of hard work and selflessness （无私），because it works hard but asks nothing for itself.People love the animal so much that they write poems about it and paint pictures of it.
But in the West，people have a different opinion about the animal. "Bullheaded" （固执的） people will not listen to advice.If someone behaves "like a bull in a china shop"，people say he or she is clumsy when he or she should be more careful.
We hope that all the teenagers can work just as hard as the OX does.Avoid"a red flag to a bull"﹣ something that may make you very angry，And we also hope that you will always"take the bull by the horns （不畏艰险）"when you run into difficult situations.

"From then on，I told myself that I must do something for those people who helped me，" Zhang said.
Slowly，a dream of setting up a free high school for girls in Huaping County appeared in Zhang's heart.From the year of 2002，she began a six﹣year journey to look for funds（资金）.In 2008，Zhang finally set up Huaping High School for Girls at the foot of the Shizi Mountain in Huaping.

Shadow puppetry （皮影戏）started during the Western Han Dynasty and it has a long history of more than 2，000 years.It used to be popular in the countryside because it was simple and cheap.

Just like many things that are in danger，traditional arts also face the risk of disappearing. "Many young people still think that shadow puppetry is an old﹣fashioned folk art， " said Liu Chaokan，the sixth﹣generation inheritor （继承人）of shadow puppetry in Yunnan province.

"Since they couldn't understand those old stories，why don't we show them the cartoon characters they love in shadow puppetry shows？" said Liu.
