Answer to the Previous Question

As we all know, China is the most populous country in the world. The number of population is 1.4 billion which is almost one quarter of the whole world's population. Hence, the Chinese Government has this responsibility to solve the population problem in China, especially in the countryside. Otherwise, the fast increment of China's population will also affect the whole world.
First of all, a effective policy for population is very important. 25 years ago, the one child policy came out in China. Although we all think that this policy is too cruel, it really helps the government to control the population. After 25 years, we all can see the good effects of this policy. Therefore, most of the citizens agree with it and think this policy should be carried on.
Moreover, in order to reduce the population, the government also needs to make their citizen more educated. In the old days, there was a very funny phenomenon which is the poor family always got more children than the rich family and the uneducated couple always had more children than the educated couple.
Last but not least, the propaganda of the government about the population problem is also very important. People will get influenced by government’s propaganda. Hence, the population problem can get control in some sense.
In conclusion, the government plays a very significant role in controlling the population. If the government could take some effective actions and did a good job, the population problem can be solved easily.

The Meaning of life

When I was a child, China was becoming the “world factories”, because almost all the stuffs including necessities and luxury goods are “Made in China”. At that time, I knew that I am also purely “Made in China”.
My Chinese name was given by my grandparents, which is a must in my family. In the late 80s, English was still not very popular in China, because most of PRC Chinese would like to choose Russian as their second language. I have got my English name--Steve until I entered the middle school when I started to learn English as my second language. For me, I do not like to remember the English vocabularies since English has a totally different language system from Chinese. However, I liked to speak English from the senior year in the middle school. Probably, my English teacher who is an American Black influenced me a lot at that time. I became interested in the American Black’s culture. I played street basketball with the black guy and sometimes played freestyle battles in English.
After I became a high school student, I still maintain the passion of learning spoken English, because my English teacher became a beautiful American white woman. She graduated from North Carolina which is also Michael Jordan’s school. Therefore, I got a lot of questions about Michael to ask her.
During the journey of learning English, I think I am clear about the meaning of life. I just want myself to be happy and never force myself to do something which I do not like. Just like learning English, I hate writing but like speaking. So I just speak more and write less, even though my essay really sucks. The meaning of my life is just to be happy.
