  My name is Lin Hui.I like to tell stories about people who work together.What is even better is when countries help each other and build a good friendship.An excellent example of this happened when Britain and China worked together to bring the Milu deer back to China.

  Milu deer, a kind of animal with large horns(角), used to be common in China long ago.Like other deer they lived together and ate grass and the soft parts of trees.Milu deer were often killed for food or sport.The Ming and Qing dynasties(朝代)did not protect them and many were killed.That is how the Milu deer disappeared from China.

  Luckily before all of them were killed, some were taken to Britain to improve the environment of the beautiful park which belonged to the Duke of Bedford.He liked them so much that he took them from China to Britain.Milu deer liked the cool, wet weather in England and their number increased year by year.As a result, when in 1985 the government of China wanted to bring back the Milu deer, the Duke of Bedford was able to help.The first deer came back to China to the Nanhaizi Milu Park 20 kilometers south of Beijing and the centre in Dafeng, Jiangsu province.

  The deer certainly seem happy to be back in China because their number has grown quickly.There are now so many of them that a new park has been opened for them in Hubei Province.At the moment the Milu deer live in centres where they are being well protected and cared for.It is hoped that one day there will be enough animals to let them live in the wild again.

  Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan, Yao Ming-people across the world know these Chinese faces.This year, Jeremy Lin has added himself to the line-up.The 23-year-old is the first Asian-American NBA player since the 1940s-his parents are from Taiwan.In early 2012, Lin was still sitting on the bench after two teams didn't hire him one after another.He lived with his brother in a small flat, worrying that the New York Knicks would cut him, too.

  But suddenly, the once-nameless young man became a basketball hero.As of February 16, this year he has led his team to seven straight victories(胜利), including a win over the Los Angeles Lakers in which he scored 38 points, and Kobe Bryant scored 34.In the game against the Toronto Raptors, he made a 3-pointer in the final half-second.

  He's scored 166 points in seven games, including 109 in his first four starts - that's more than any player ever.

  Kobe Bryant was surprised after playing with Lin, though he knew very little about the Knicks' newest star before that.

  “Players don't usually come out of nowhere,” Bryant said.“If you can go back and take a look, his skill level was probably there from the beginning.But no one ever noticed.I am sure he has put in a lot of work to always have that belief in himself.Now, he has the opportunity to show it.”

  Lin himself also said that, “there is more opportunity [with the Knicks].” The Knicks have been in need of a good point guard, and Lin is “a perfect fit”.

  Lin became a basketball hero overnight.How long will his story last? Nobody knows.But, just like the USA Today article says, for anyone who has ever had a dream, this is a great story.
