With limited pocket money in hand，many Chinese college students are increasingly opting to live life “low cost”．One way to save money is team?buying.Online team?buying offers huge discounts and becomes popular on campus.

Li Jing，a student at China Youth University for Political Sciences，for example，says she often buys movie tickets on team?buying websites.But while they offer a good opportunity to save money，Li said she would “think twice before buying them from online stores”．Because many of them are “a bit chaotic (混乱的)”，and have fake goods mixed among them.Then why don’t the students just earn more pocket money by taking up part?time jobs？Guo Na，a teacher at the Communication University of China，said most college students were unlikely to choose work?study programs to earn pocket money because of their intensive study schedules.

A kind of card called “VELO” has become another ideal choice for many money savers.It provides all?round discounts while dining out or shopping in general.Cao Zuyang，a student at the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China，often searches for sales online and buys things together with friends to cut down on costs.Cao once wanted to buy an electro?magnetic oven (电磁炉)，which was on sale at a shopping website.He then asked five dormitory roommates to pitch in for the oven.Each student only paid 25 yuan.

Most students find it difficult to deal with the expense of accommodation while traveling.So they choose to travel to cities where they have friends and live in their dorms.For instance，Ge Rui，a student at the Hebei University of Technology，has been to many cities where he has friends.“Friends can act as free guides，offer me free accommodation，give me valuable tour information，and broaden my mind at the same time，” he said.He also had friends from other cities coming over and living with him when they visited his city.

When I was fifteen months old．I fell on a glass rabbit which cut my eye badly enough to blind it．And as I grew，this sightless eye , in so many ways controlled me that I walked with my face looking at the floor so people would not see the ugly me．
Yet Mama would hold me in her arms and stroke my hair and say，“If you hold your head up high，it will be OK．And people will see your beautiful soul．”She continued this message whenever I wanted to hide．
As a little child，I thought Mama meant，“Be careful or you will fall down or bump into something because you are not looking．”As a teenager, I found that my mama’s words helped me begin to realize that by letting people look at my face，I let them recognize the intelligence and beauty behind my eyes．
In high school I was successful both academically and socially．I was even elected class president，but inside me I still felt like a freak(畸形人)．When things got really bad，I would cry to my mama and she would look at me with loving eyes and say, “Hold your head up high and face the world．Let them see the beauty that is inside．”
When I met the man who became my partner for life，we looked each other straight in the eye，and he told me I was beautiful inside and out．Mama’s love and encouragement were the spark that gave me the confidence to overcome my own doubt．
“Hold your head up high” has been heard many times in my home．Each of my children has felt its invitation．The gift my mama gave me lives on in another generation．
