Learn Mandarin and cooking at the same time



One day, my friend was showing me this new recipe. I was planning to teach "er hua yun" that week and after viewing this video, I decided to show it to my students. My students were able to catch some of the "er hua yun" (retroflex final) in the video and they love this video.

The meaning of true love


老人顶风雪寻老伴感动网友 An elderly man in search of his wife on the street in Luoyang, Henan, China

Sitting by the roadside is an elderly man named Pan Feng Cheng, 74 years old. He has been searching for his missing wife since September 21, 2008. He has been to 15 cities, more than 300 towns and 2000 villages in search of his wife Han Li Xiu who is believed to be suffering from the Alzheimer's disease. Despite himself falling sick due to the cold weather, he continues to sit by the roadside with his bicycle waiting for any news of his wife. Mr Pan said, "As long as I am alive, I will continue to look for her." A reward of 10, 000 Renminbi will be given to anyone who is able to find his wife. "Not a cent less", said Mr Pan. Many people always ponder the meaning of true love or doubt there is "true love". However, Mr Pan has demonstrated to us what is the meaning of true love, a love with great perseverance.
