Who is the greatest teacher in Chinese history? You may think of Confucius(孔子), September 28 was his birthday. Although he lived over 2,000 years ago, people today still remember and respect him.

Confucius lived in the Kingdom of Lu during the Spring and Autumn Period. He had a hard childhood. His father died when he was only 3, so he had to work to help his mother, but young Confucius never gave up studying. He visited many famous teachers and learned music, history, poetry and sports.

Later, he became a teacher and started the first public school in China. At that time only children from rich families could go to school, but Confucius believed everyone should go to school if they wanted to learn. He had about 3,000 students in his lifetime.

Today, people still follow Confucius’ lessons. He told us that we all have something worthy(值得) to be learned. “When I am with three people, one of them must be better than me in some areas. I choose their good qualities and follow them.” He also taught us that thinking is very important in study. “All study but no thinking makes people puzzled (困惑的). All thinking but no study makes people lazy.”

Confucius is not only a great teacher, but also a famous thinker with wise thoughts about the world and society. His most important teachings are about kindness and good manners. “A person should be strict with himself, but be kind to others.” he said.

People have seen the colorful shared bikes (共享单车) in the city streets around China for two years. People can rent (租用) them with a smart phone app and then park anywhere they choose. To relieve (减少) traffic jams and air pollution, many cities have introduced bike-sharing services. But sometimes, dreams are not so perfect.

It is true that it is convenient for people to go out by shared bike. As shared bikes become more popular, problems showed up. According to news reports, users treated shared bikes badly. After people used the bikes, some of them just threw them onto streets and even into the ditches (水沟). Some people stole the bikes or locked them up in chains (链条). A month ago, the police fined a man in Shanghai 1,000 yuan, because he stole a shared bike.

Besides, the damage to the QR codes (二维码) on the bikes has brought huge losses to bike-sharing companies, like Mobike (摩拜单车). If the QR code is bad, people cannot use the bike anymore. It can take several hundred yuan for the company workers to find a lost bike and repair it. Mobike has 100 credit scores for each user. Once the score drops to below 80, bike rental (租金) will go up five yuan per 30 minutes.

However, punishment may not be the best way to stop shared bikes from being stolen or damaged. Bike-sharing services will work better only if people follow the rules and show respect for the bikes.
