It is reported that tea has helped poor farmers in Yunnan find a way out of poverty(贫穷)thanks to the efforts of a man, who had a chance to come across some local farmers there.

Ren Huaican was suffering mass mouth takers(溃疡)when he first visited the Jingmai Mountain in Pu'er city in the spring of 2006. However, after picking off several leaves from the old tea trees and chewing them, he felt amazed to find the pain was gone the next morning. The fact that the green leaves worked magic for him made Ren begin to show great interest in the tea from Yunnan.

During his search for tea production bases in the mountains across Yunnan, he found that the local tea business was scattered(分散的)and most of the tea farmers were living in extreme poverty. Ren realized what led to the tea industry problem was not only the underdeveloped tea market, but also the poverty of the local tea farmers. So he made up his mind to change things in the tea industry in order to help the local people get out of poverty.

In September 2006, he established the Kunming Colorful Yunnan King-Shine Tea Industry Co. It hired poor peasants from neighboring areas to remove weeds and pick tea leaves. Professional technicians were invited to teach the peasants how to do their jobs scientifically. Besides, for the farmers who lived off the old tea trees, the company taught them how to scientifically manage their trees and produce the best tea. As a result, their tea quality has greatly improved, and the price has gone up. In this way, the tea company has helped many people get out of poverty.

One manager in the company turned down higher incomes and job opportunities in Beijing. He found it hard to leave because of all the things they had done and all the people he had known. "We are a big family, " he said.

A teacher was giving a speech to his students. He held up a glass of water and asked the class, "How heavy do you think this glass of water is?" 

The students' answers were different, from 20 g to 500 g. "It does not matter on the weight itself. It depends on how long you hold it. If I hold it for a minute, it is OK. If I hold it for an hour, I will have an ache in my right arm. If I hold it for a day, you will have to call an ambulance (救护车). It is exactly the same weight, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes."

If we carry our burdens (负担) all the time, sooner or later, we will not be able to carry on, the burden becoming increasingly heavier.

"What you have to do is to put the glass down, rest for a while before holding it up again."  We have to put down the burden sometimes, so that we can be refreshed and are able to carry on.
