Reading letters is the happiest moment for singer Cong Fei, who now has to stay in bed.These letters, in which they call him “Dad”, are from the children he has 1 .
The 36-year-old singer has spent nearly all his 2 in paying the tuition fees of 178 children 3 the past 11 years.
He was diagnosed(诊断)with cancer in May, 2006.One of the 4 things he requested after being diagnosed was that friends and family 5 to fund the 100 students he has started to put through 6 .
“ 7 they can't keep on studying, what they can expect is a(n) 8 future.You must find 9 to let them continue their education,” Cong said.
Cong's first 10 began at a charity(慈善)performance for children in Southwest China's Chongqing in 1994.When donating all 2,400 yuan he had on him, Cong was 11 to learn that the money could help 20 children complete two years'education and realized how 12 the donation was to the children.
From then on, he 13 took part in more than 20 charity performances in poverty-stricken(非常贫穷的)areas in Guizhou, Hunan and Sichuan provinces.
“When the children saw Cong Fei, they were so 14 that they hugged him, calling him 15 .At that 16 , I could fully understand the 17 of my husband's devotion,” said his wife Xing Dan.
Extensive media reports on Cong's story have placed him 18 in the focus in the past two months.Li Hongzhong, Party secretary of Shenzhen, visited him in June and 19 him to fight the disease so that he could, as his name suggests, “ 20 again.”
As my wife greeted me one evening, her voice came through the door,“Guess what?”
I always take a deep 1 on this very leading question.“What?”I asked.
“I just won a sales contest at work and the 2 is dinner for two at the new fancy restaurant down by the river-front!”
She was so 3 .We knew the restaurant was extremely good.“See?I told you there would be a 4 for me to wear my new spring outfit,”she shyly reminded me.
“ 5 can play at that game,”I responded.“I will wear my gray suit, my Borsalino imported straw hat and a new silk tie.We will be well 6 .”
It was early 7 and nearing dusk as the waiter took us to a table by a window, with a(n) 8 of the river.And the table was 9 set, with a smoke-gray tablecloth and bright colored napkins.
A delicious meal 10 in such an atmosphere should be remembered a long time.As it 11 , this will probably never be forgotten.
As the shadows lengthened, the 12 rocking by the riverbank, I murmured,“Why not take a walk?”
Hand in hand, we walked by the stores.People smiled and nodded.“I 13 realized there were so many 14 people as we have seen this evening, dear,”I observed.
“Probably your new straw hat or your 15 ,”she said.
After receiving many smiles, we 16 ourselves back at the restaurant, looking at ourselves in the 17 .It was then that I saw the 18 for all the smiles.
Caught in the fly of my trousers and 19 down for all to see was a bright red 20 from the restaurant!
When I was a little girl, every Sunday my family of six would put on our best clothes and go to Sunday School and then church.The 1 in elementary school would all meet together to sing songs, and then later divide into 2 based on their ages.
One Easter Sunday, all the kids 3 with big eyes and big 4 about what the Easter Bunny(复活节小兔)had brought. 5 all of the kids shared their stories with 6 , one young boy , whom I shall call Bobby, sat 7 .One of the teachers , noticing this, said to him, “And what did the Easter Bunny 8 you?”He replied, “My mom 9 the door by accident so the Easter Bunny couldn't get 10 because he hadn't got a key.”
This sounded like a 11 idea to all of us kids, so we kept on going with the stories.My mom knew the true story, 12 .Bobby's mom was a single parent , and she suspected(怀疑)that they just couldn't 13 the Easter Bunny.
After Sunday School was over, everyone went off to 14 .But my mom announced that we were going home 15 .At home, she explained that to make Bobby feel 16 , we were going to pretend(假装)to be the Easter Bunny , make a basket of our candies for him and 17 it at church.We all donated(捐赠)some to the basket, and 18 back to church.There, mom hung the basket over the hanger(挂钩)and attached(附上)a(n) 19 :
Dear Bobby,
I'm sorry I 20 your house last night.Happy Easter.
