清明节(Qingming Festival)英语作文 精彩句子抢先看

1、But the Qingming Festival is not only a seasonal point to guide farm work, it is more a festival of commemoration.

清明节不仅是扫墓的日子，还是让我们共同怀念过去的日子。

2、 In the past, the Qingming Festival was called "Arbor Day". But since 1979, "Arbor Day" was settled as March 12 according to the Gregorian calendar.

过去，清明节称为“植树节”。但是从1979年开始，植树节定为3月12日。

The Qingming (Pure Brightness) Festival is one of the 24 seasonal division points in China, falling on April 4-6 each year. After the festival, the temperature will rise up and rainfall increases. It is the high time for spring plowing and sowing. But the Qingming Festival is not only a seasonal point to guide farm work, it is more a festival of commemoration.

The Qingming Festival sees a combination of sadness and happiness.

This is the most important day of sacrifice. Both the Han and minority ethnic groups at this time offer sacrifices to their ancestors and sweep the tombs of the diseased. Also, they will not cook on this day and only cold food is served.

The Hanshi (Cold Food) Festival was usually one day before the Qingming Festival. As our ancestors often extended the day to the Qingming, they were later combined.

On each Qingming Festival, all cemeteries are crowded with people who came to sweep tombs and offer sacrifices. Traffic on the way to the cemeteries becomes extremely jammed. The customs have been greatly simplified today. After slightly sweeping the tombs, people offer food, flowers and favorites of the dead, then burn incense and paper money and bow before the memorial tablet.

In contrast to the sadness of the tomb sweepers, people also enjoy hope of Spring on this day. The Qingming Festival is a time when the sun shines brightly, the trees and grass become green and nature is again lively. Since ancient times, people have followed the custom of Spring outings. At this time tourists are everywhere.

People love to fly kites during the Qingming Festival. Kite flying is actually not limited to the Qingming Festival. Its uniqueness lies in that people fly kites not during the day, but also at night. A string of little lanterns tie

d onto the kite or the thread look like shining stars, and therefore, are called "gods lanterns."

The Qingming Festival is also a time to plant trees, for the survival rate of saplings is high and trees grow fast later. In the past, the Qingming Festival was called "Arbor Day". But since 1979, "Arbor Day" was settled as March 12 according to the Gregorian calendar.

1、Its Chinese name "Qing Ming" literally means "Clear Brightness," hinting at its importance as a celebration of Spring. Similar to the spring festivals of other cultures, Tomb Sweeping Day celebrates the rebirth of nature, while marking the beginning of the planting season and other outdoor activities.

On October 1, I did not go out as usual.

Since it was National Day, 61th anniversary of my homeland, like many people, my parents and I just sat in the couch and watch TV.

We didn’t want to miss the program, parade. We were all excited when we saw such beautiful and magnificent scene.

There were so many people gathered together to celebrate the 61th anniversary.

From their smile, I can feel their happy, their proud and confidence.

I feel proud there are many advanced weapons to secure our country.

We, Chinese, are never aggressive. We love peace.

We know how to secure the peace because Chinese is the victim of war.

When I saw 61 flower buses passed through Tian An Men, I am so excited.

I believe our country will have a prosperous future.

I will graduate next year, now I start to worry about my future, I don’t

know what kind of job I should work on, I see the job hunting information from

the Internet, I don’t know whether I should take the chance. My teacher told me

that I need to take every chance, so that I will find what I want.

Graduate season is a sad and busy season. After four years’ study, it is

time to say goodbye to your classmates, the building of the deep relationship

makes it hard to say goodbye. At the same time, finding a job is the most

important thing for students, because they need to find their places in the

society. As there are many opportunities for graduate students, they always

don’t know how to do.

I have learned that I should take every chance when they job offer comes,

even though I need to go to a far place to get the interview and there will be

some money that I need to spend. But I will learn many things and become more

competitive.

When the opportunity comes, I will take no hesitation to seize it.

In the young generation, their lifestyle is different from the old

peoples. They like to stay up and join many night activities, then they wake up

very late. The new expression of brunch fits them so much, which means the

people to have a meal combining with breakfast and lunch. But their health is

under threat. Some young peoples stomach hurts and cant digest food well. In

order to keep healthy, we need to do some exercise and eat food regularly.

Whats more, the balanced diet is very important, as the saying that an apple a

day, keeps the doctor away, so we need to eat properly. The healthy lifestyle

makes us live happily.

Yesterday afternoon, when I was sitting in the classroom and listening to

the teacher. Suddenly, the screen seemed moving and it started to shake. My

teacher stopped his class and then he asked us to calm down. He let the students

who were close to the door left first, and then the rest of us ran out of the

classroom one by one. After a while, everything seemed to be normal, the teacher

asked us to go back to the classroom. Later I learned that there indeed came the

earthquake. I admired our teacher so much, in the important moment, he did not

run away, but considered us in the first place. He is a good teacher.

Dragon Boat Festival is one the very classic traditional festivals, which

has been celebrated since the old China. Firstly, it is to in honor of the great

poet Qu Yuan, who jumped into the water and ended his life for loving the

country. Nowadays, different places have different ways to celebrate.

In my hometown, there will be a traditional competition, that is the dragon

boat race. People make up the team and fight for the honor. Every boat looks

like the dragon and it is the most obvious feature. A lot of people will come to

visit or watch the match. Then the game begins. The audience will cheer for the

teams and the competitors try their best to make the boat go fast. It is very

lively.

Besides the competition, eating the traditional food zongzi is favored by

everyone. For me, it is very delicious. My grandma makes the best zongzi. She

has the special recipe and it fits my stomach. So every time I go back hometown,

my grandma will make it for me.

In other places, drinking the special wine and hanging the leaf are also

the tradition. The preserve of the traditional festival makes our culture

profound.

With the development of information industry, there are more and more

people shopping online. Shopping online means shopping on the Internet without

going out. Therefore, on the one hand, shopping online has its advantage. One

the other hand, shopping on line also has its disadvantage.

First of all, shopping online is very convenient. People can buy thing only

they have a computer, which can surf the Internet. They don’t need to go out on

a rainy day or under the shining sun. Meanwhile, people can save their time to

finish their work or other things. On the contrary, as people just decide what

they buy depending on the picture placed by the shop owner, they can’t see the

quality before they receive the product. Sometimes people maybe buy the things

are in low quality, or some fake products.

In general, shopping online has its advantage and disadvantage. In my

opinion, I prefer shopping online than shopping on the street.

Cell phone seems to be one of the most important inventions of 20 century.

Using cell phones to surf the Internet has become quite common in our daily

lives. Cell phone has exceeded its original function such as making phones calls

or sending message. Its multi-functions have make people’s tedious lives more

colorful. Many people, especially the young generation, have found that they can

not live without their cell phones. Many people feel uncomfortable in absence of

their cell phones. This may become a symptom called cell phone dependency.

First, many people have addicted to cell phones, they spend considerable

time and money on the phone, for it provide with numerous games and

applications. Some of them even use cell phones as computers that they keep the

phone open for all day long. As to some students, some of them even use the

phones to play games in the class, when they should focus on their study

instead. In this case, parents and teachers should limit the time that children

spending on the cell phones, for its have more disadvantages than

advantages.

Second, the dependency on cell phones has shown people’s anxiety towards to

their social interrelationship. A day without cell phone just feels like getting

lost in this big world. Every day, people tend to check their cell phones to see

if they have got any messages or surf the Internet, but the cell phone truly

affects their normal life.

There is no denying that cell phones have brought us considerable

convenient. However, we should be aware of the negative effects that cell phones

have brought to us. Just put down your cell phone for a while, and you will find

that without your phone life can still be wonderful, too.

The imperial palace, also known as the Forbidden City, is the imperial

palace of the Ming and qing dynasties, which is the largest and most complete

ancient architectural complex in China. I especially want to know the

architecture of ancient palaces and the living environment of ancient

emperors.

One weekend in the golden autumn, the sun is shining and the autumn wind is

crisp. My mother and I went to visit the Palace Museum in the center of the

city. I was very happy.

Enter the gate of the Forbidden City, "wow! Its so big here!" I couldnt

help it. The mother said, "the most spectacular is still in the back!" We first

visited the architectural model of the imperial palace and its construction. I

know that the imperial palace covers an area of over 720,000 square meters, with

more than 9,000 rooms, all wooden structures, and all the wooden structures have

no nails. The palace is the blue and white stone base, the tall roof, the yellow

glazed tile, the pattern of the dragon everywhere, and decorated with the

brilliant color of the golden wall. I observed all the palaces, and found that

the palaces were lined up along the north-south axis, and spread out to the

sides, to the north and south, and to the right and left. I told mom, I found

mother listen to nod a smile, said: "the central axis not only in the Forbidden

City, and nanda YongDingMen, north to the drum tower, almost throughout the

whole city. Its magnificent, well-planned and spectacular.

We have been visiting the taihe temple from the imperial garden. What a

breathtaking view! In the Forbidden City, the most striking is the "three halls"

: the hall of supreme harmony, the hall of harmony, the hall of protection and

the temple. They are all built on the 8-meter-high base of the white jade, which

looks like the qiong yuyu in the myth. The first hall of supreme harmony was the

most magnificent building. People called it the "throne room". It was the place

where the emperor held the grand ceremony. It is 28 meters high, 63 meters, 35

meters north and south, and a large pillar with a diameter of 1 meter. Among

them, six large pillars, one meter in diameter around the throne, are flat

dragon pillars of leached gold. The throne is located at the base of the two

meters high in the temple, with the graceful crane and the top of the furnace,

followed by a carefully carved screen. The whole hall is decorated with golden

walls, which are both majestic and magnificent. The hall of neutralization was

the place where the emperor went to the hall of supreme harmony to take a rest

and exercise etiquette. Baohe and the temple are the place where the emperor

gives banquet to the king of the foreign land every New Year. This is just the

palace buildings, and house decoration is numerous, the rarities of the mother

said: "these treasures is only part of it, when Chiang kai-shek fled to Taiwan

carried away many treasure palace, there are some loss in a foreign country". I

feel sorry for the loss of these treasures. When will these lost treasures

return to the embrace of the motherland? I am looking forward to the reunion of

Taiwan and mainland as soon as possible.

The visit of the Forbidden City made me linger. The Palace Museum is an

unparalleled masterpiece. It is a miracle. Our five thousand years of Chinese

culture are profound and profound, and we should be proud and proud to have

built such a magnificent palace for the ancients. At the same time, we also have

the responsibility to protect these cultural relics from destruction, so that

the five thousand years of splendid civilization of the motherland will be

handed down.

October 1st is the national day of our country, which is a public holiday

for the whole country. It’s an important day that marks the beginning of PRC. On

that day, there are plenty of celebrations holding throughout the country, from

the central government to the general people. And public places, including big

squares, parks are decorated in festive theme. In recent years, the national

holiday means the golden week as well, which is a short holiday that all people

expect to. With the improvement of living standards, people have more money and

desire to travel and the golden week is a good chance for them. Besides, for

those people who would not go out, it’s a good time to have a good rest as well.

Therefore, the national day means a lot to the Chinese.

The Hollywood culture is favored by the world. Every year, the movies

produced by Hollywood always win both money and fame. In recent years, the US TV

series are also popular and catch more fans. The English language shows become

the winners all the time. But non-English language shows are starting to

arise.

The most famous non-English language movies are Indian movies. Because of

the Bollywood, which came before Hollywood, Indian movies are produced well and

have its own feature. Besides, more TV series of non-English language are

popular around the world. The Swedish show Skam is the hottest, and a lot of

Chinese young fans are so crazy about it.

Watching the show is a good way to learn the language and culture. It is a

good trend for people to pay attention to various cultures. Today, as the world

gets globalized, it is important to know more about the world and broaden our

vision. Though what we learn from the non-English language shows is limited, it

is better than not to watch.

Nowadays, an increasing number of people are willing to serve as volunteers

especially the university students in that they consider that volunteering is

not only a great contribution to our society and those who are in need, but also

improves themselves in many aspects.

For one thing, there is no doubt that volunteering makes contribution to

our society and people in need. The volunteers provide their assistance without

requiring any financial rewards. Their contributions have a great impact on

harmony society contribution.

For another, serving as a volunteer is also beneficial to the volunteers

themselves. They can improve their communication skills when providing help for

others. One of the examples is that the university students who serve in Canton

Fair will get a great chance to practical their English and get in touch with

different kinds of people as well as broad their horizon. In addition, by

serving as different kinds of volunteers, they are easier to understand

themselves and know in which fields they are interested.

In a word, volunteering has brought many benefits to our society, those who

are in need as well as the volunteers themselves. Therefore, let us enjoy the

time when serving as a volunteer.

Tomorrow is mothers day. I want to give my mother a surprise.

I thought I wanted to make a breakfast for my mother. I got up early in the

second day, bought a stick in the early market, and returned home to give my

mother a few dishes and rice porridge. When my mother woke up, he said, "good

smell, who is cooking today?" Its so fragrant. " "Happy mother mothers day,"

Mama laughed and said, "my daughter grows up and will be considerate of my

parents." I laughed and I couldnt wait for my mother to taste the food I

made.

At the entrance of my mother, she frowned and then cried again. I was

anxious to say, "Mom, is it hard to eat my food, mom, you dont cry, Im sorry,"

mother said, "its delicious, mom is moving, happy crying." I put my heart down

and ate it. I just threw it out of my mouth and said, "this is what people eat.

Some are too sweet, some too salty, "mother said," this dish is the most

delicious meal I have ever eaten in my life. "I held my mother and said," Mom,

no matter what happened, I still love you. "

Mothers embrace is our harbor of refuge. There is a mothers place to have a

family. I wish all mothers in the world happy holidays!

明天是母亲节，我想给母亲一个惊喜。

我想了想决定给妈妈做一顿早餐，第二天我早早起床，到早市买了油条，回到家给妈妈做了几个菜和小米粥，等妈妈醒来时说：“好香呀，今天是谁做饭呀?这么香。”“妈妈母亲节快乐”妈妈开心的笑了说：“我的女儿长大了，会体谅父母了’我开心的笑了，迫不及待的让妈妈尝尝我做的饭菜

妈妈一入口，皱了一下眉头，随后又哭了，我着急了说：“妈妈，是不是我做的菜难吃呀，妈妈你别哭，对不起”妈妈说：“很好吃，妈妈这是感动的，开心的哭。”我放下心了，也吃了起来菜刚一入嘴，我就吐了出来说：“这哪是人吃的呀。有的太甜，有的太咸”妈妈说：“这顿菜是我这辈子吃的最香的一顿菜了”我抱住妈妈说：“妈妈，以后不管发生了什么，我依然还是爱着你。”

妈妈的怀抱是我们避风的港湾，有妈的地方才有家，我祝全天下的妈妈节日快乐!

清明节那天，下着毛毛细雨，天空灰暗暗的，人也觉得很没有精神。我们全家睡了一个“自然醒的觉”。我们没有出远门，因为我们在深圳没有长辈亲戚，因此也就没有扫墓的活动。

The day of the festival, the drizzle, the sky dark gray, people feel very spirit. My family had a "natural wake up sleep". We do not have to go out, because we have no elder relatives in Shenzhen, so there is no grave activities.

这一天，我在家接待了我的一个朋友，他叫浩浩，他的爷爷前不久突然心肌梗塞，住进了医院，他的爸爸妈妈很忙，没有时间照顾他，所以把他托付到我们家生活一天。早上十点多，浩浩来了，我们欢迎他，我和他同岁，但是他上学迟一年，所以还在上幼儿园大班。

That day, I received a friend of mine at home, he asked his grandpa is vast, shortly before the sudden myocardial infarction, admitted to the hospital, his father and mother is busy, no time to take care of him, so he entrusted to our home life one day. More than ten oclock in the morning, to the vast, we welcome him, he and I are the same age, but he went to school a year later, it was still in kindergarten.

我们在一起聊天、唱歌、玩游戏、看电视，很开心。中午爸爸妈妈带着我和浩浩去宝能太古城吃必胜客的披萨，我们一人点了一个套餐，浩浩吃得干干净净，我要向他学习。下午我们一起玩侦探游戏，也很开心。

We chat together, sing, play games, watch TV, very happy. At noon, mom and Dad took me and vast to Baoneng Taikoo city to eat Pizza Hut pizza, we point a package, the eat clean, I should learn from him. We play games in the afternoon the detective, was also very happy.

天黑了，浩浩的妈妈张阿姨来接他了，我很舍不得他回去。这就是我清明节的活动，很平凡，但这是我第一次在家里接待小朋友，所以很有体验和收获，我懂得了礼让和待客。

It was dark, the mother Zhang aunt came to pick him up, I could not bear him back. This is the I Ching Ming Festival activities, very ordinary, but this is the first time I received the kids at home, so it is the experience and the harvest, I know the courtesy and hospitality.

I am so looking forward to my college life. I have pictured it thousands of

times in my mind. The free lifestyle and lively parties are always appearing my

mind. The great expectation of campus life endows me a lot of passion to keep

study. After two years’ study, I would find my lifestyle.

The first thing for me is to learn more knowledge. Most students find a way

to release themselves and skip or sleep in the class. They think study is just

the task, so they give up improving themselves and take part in all kinds of

activities, which bring them great joy. The wrong conception about college stage

makes most students miss the best time to equip themselves with skills. I

realize my job and dare not to loose study.

The second thing for me to learn is to make friends by joining activities.

I am a shy girl, but inside my heart, I am so eager to make more friends, so I

choose to join many activities in the spared time. I learn dancing and playing

tennis. The lucky thing is that I know many nice people and we become good

friends, who make my college colorful.

Good afternoon， everyone。

The topic of my speech today is “Being a Good Listener”。

Good listening can always show respect， promote understanding， and improve interpersonal relationship。

Many people suggest that parents should listen more to their children， so they will understand them better， and find it easy to narrow the generation gap; teachers should listen more to their students， then they can meet their needs better， and place themselves in a good relationship with their students; students should listen more to their classmates， thus they will help and learn from each other， and a friendship is likely to be formed。

What I want to stress is that each of us should listen to others。 Show your respect and never stop others till they finish their talk; show you are interested by a supportive silence or a knowing smile; be open-minded to different opinions even though you don’t like them。 In a word， good listening can really enable us to get closer to each other。

Thank you for your listening!

It is known to all that Christmas Day is on December 25th. It is the

biggest day in the western countries. But not so many people know about the

White Christmas in China. The day before Christmas Day, if it snows, then the

world is in white color. People are happy about that, because they think it

means the happiness and luck. So that’s the meaning of White Christmas. It

always snows a lot on Christmas Eve, because it is in winter in the western

countries. All the families get together and enjoy their moment while watching

the white snow. What an enjoyable atmosphere for a family.

that Im an Egyptian. But if I could speak English as good as an American， my

future would be brilliant. So I work very hard.

Save the Wild Animals

Many wild animals are facing the danger of extinction, because the environment that they are living in has changed greatly. For example, with the developmet of cities, the using of insecticide and serious pollution, their living areas have become narrowcr and narrower. Many of the wild animals, now are confronted with food crisis. At the same time, man is killing off species just for getting their fur, skin, horns, teeth and meat.

In order to protect our resources of ecology, people should realize that the loss of any species is at least the loss of source of knowledge and a source of natural beauty. There fore, measures of the following should be taken: pollution standards are made to keepdown poisons; killing off certain rare species is prohibited; national parks should be set up as wild life, reserves.

Only if we human beings take some drastic measures can wild animals be preserved.

保护野生动物

许多野生动物正面临绝种的危险，因为它们生活的环境发生了极大的变化。譬 如，随着城市的发展，杀虫剂的使用和严重的污染，野生动物的生活区域变得越来越狭小。许多野生动物目前正面临着食物方面的危机。同时，为了获取野生动物的毛、皮、角、牙齿和肉，人类正在屠杀野生动物。

为了保护生态资源，人们应当意识到任何物种的缺失，至少意味着知识资源和自然美的缺失。因此，应采取以下措施：制订污染标准以降低有毒物质;严禁杀害某些稀有物种;应建立国家公园作为野生动植物保护区。

我们只有采取一些有力措施，才能保护野生动物。

又是一个清明节，又是一个回味家族历史的百姓故事会。

平民百姓，只有到了清明节，才有时间、凭借人生经验和阅历，回味祖祖辈辈口口相传的尘封家族故事。才会想起祖先如蚁蝼般生存，如牛马般苦力，宁为太平犬，不为乱世人？才有了今天—子子孙孙跪满遍地，香火不断。虽说祖先没有给子子孙孙留下金满箱银满箱，更未使子孙后世做强梁，但却让子子孙孙的血管里始终流淌着愚公子孙一样的鲜血：每天挖山不止，为生计，为稻梁，被说不尽的苦和累煎熬着，为一粒芝麻大小的幸福而满足高兴着。 就这样，一个个生命悄然来到人世上；一代代人，相继变为一坯黄土的忠实守望着。总是在祭祖的日子里，凭主观想象揣测祖先的模样，终究自己的血液里流淌着祖先的基因，虽然并非“王侯将相宁有种乎”般野心勃勃，但终究知道自身从那儿来要到那儿去。 因为太平常又众多，平民祖先寿终寝所便称做坟墓。

记忆里，遍地都是坟墓，坟墓里埋葬着爷爷、爷爷的爷爷甚至更老的爷爷，还有奶奶、奶奶的婆婆的婆婆、甚至更远的奶奶婆婆。忽然有一天，平坟轰轰烈烈开始了，那么多坟墓竟被夷为平地。历史如同一道被化简的方程式，老祖先大不过是一个小小的有理数。有理数被化简，土堆也就消失了。只是到了清明节这天，长辈们才会告诉子孙：去，那儿有个老坟，挂个纸扎！表示子孙们还记着那地下长眠的老人。虽说当年平坟时，也曾诅咒过激进派的行为，现在回想，何尝不是一件大好事！老百姓本来就是草根，如同黄土一般平常。人吃了黄土一辈子，最后慷慨大方的让黄土一口吃掉，岂不乐哉！这一口黄土，也就成了永久的纪念与追忆。草根生命，本就来自于阴阳五行之中，又回到五行中去，岂不是大自然绰绰恩赐！ 若按等级分类，名人的坟墓就叫做林，比如孔林，关林；漫游在历史长河中的土堆，称得上林者能有几多？追溯到皇帝坟墓，叫做陵，比如乾陵、茂陵，十三陵，秦始皇陵。活着就为自己大修陵墓，乃大多帝王的热衷追求，他们活着出尽风头，即使到了阴间，还想继续称王称霸，不可一世，要不怎么霸称自己为始皇帝？还有一世二世三世……？他们贪婪设想，即使到了天国，仍然会继续愚弄自己的臣民。甚荒唐，到头来却免不了为他人作嫁衣裳。

历史大变革的台风，虽不是每一场皆为十二级，但却不无戏谑，将一厢情的愿肉食者黄粱美梦一次次打破。 这一块故土，刘邦来过，梦河汉界的故事源远流长，让后人多少好事者，将眼睛天天盯在棋盘上，在楚河汉界上杀杀打打，好不热闹！可惜即使至死，他们中绝大多数，仍然在楚河汉界的厮杀中磨蹭，却不见立得一星半点儿拜将封侯军功，最后还是被埋葬在一个土堆里；滚滚红尘里，有朱元璋身经百战的影子，但明朝的那些事儿，让后人瞧得起看得见津津乐道者，也不过永乐盛世、青花瓷云云。非常有趣的是，这两个典型的农民，却曾经弄得中国历史地覆天翻，几近分崩离析：一个为刘姓子孙们封土列侯，王国遍中华；另一个如意算盘，却被称作明成祖的儿子给搅乱，以桃代李。历史似乎并不记得过多有关他们的故事，大多是八王之乱的销烟弥漫，傻子白痴子孙皇帝荒诞不羁的讥讽笑话。 这故事，感动过历代几多文人墨客，令他们摩拳擦掌，杜牧意味深长咏出“旧时王谢堂前燕，飞入寻常百姓家”的不尽感慨。 回到自己的故事里。点一沓火纸，燃一柱香，放一挂鞭炮，想那长眠地下的老祖先也该满意的笑了？那些崭新的钞票，他们在另一个世界可能也是如同活着一般，非常算计地花着？他们知道，一分钱也来之不易，知道安居乐业的重要；他们活着时，就将人的无穷欲望降低到最低温饱水平线上；他们知足常乐，没有顶天立地般理想，也许他们朴素地理解道：所谓远大理想，一但膨胀了，大多就会变成野心！野心一旦实现，就会青史垂名，成为一代风云人物，就会称作雄心壮志、雄才大略；野心一旦败北，就成了乱臣贼子，杀无舍，株九族或者流放荒蛮之地，永远不得翻身！一旦新王登基，为了剪除异己，以绝后患，会及时将野心早败露者来个株连九族，满门抄斩！下场可悲，空前绝后。那儿还会留得一子半孙为他们去上坟扫墓！ 阿Q太伟大了，看来还是做平民百姓好。

平民百姓死了，不论怎样，却将草根的种子留在这个世界上，世界上也就更多出了些叫做芸芸众生的劳作者。他们或挖山不止，或填海矢志不渝，只有这些劳作者，才让这个世界充满神奇，充满诱惑，也鼓舞起更多追梦者。 纸钱纷纷，天空中飘浮着的总是平民百姓对自己祖先的年年追忆、世代缅怀。

What is the definition of success? I believe different people will have

different opinions about it. If anyone asks me what is success for me, I will

tell him progress is success for me. I can have small goal or great aim in my

whole life. If the goal what I set is too large for me, I will not taste the

feeling of success. Or I always set small goals, so I will feel success all the

time, which may make me become autophilia and without ambitions. Therefore, I

think if I can be better than yesterday or last time, then I am successful.
