When I was young I developed a keen interest in animals. So I often visited the zoo in my hometown. There what attracted me most was a couple of tigers, especially the male. They were kept in a huge iron cage at first, but later was released from it and put in a place called Tiger Hill. The hill was separated from the visitors by a very wide and deep ditch. What's more, it was also surrounded by a high iron fence along the ditch.

Twenty years later, I revisited the zoo and was relieved to find that the Tiger Hill was still there but greatly extended. Moving around now were six tigers, old and young, instead of two.

This morning I heard an interesting piece of news over my portable radio: A man of 36 and his son of ten attend the same class competing with each other for high marks. The story goes/It’s like this:

The man, Li Wei by name, was too idle to learn anything when young. With little education, with no useful skills, he could hardly earn an adequate living wage. His life experiences drove home to him the point that he had to acquire knowledge before he was able to accumulate wealth. So Li Wei swore that he would go to school with his son, determined to learn.
