To love even if you are already 90 years old, to still have a dream to catch the clouds in the sky. It seems impossible to imagine that these words came from a woman at the age of 101. Most of us generally believe that people at that age would do nothing every day but to wait for death to come nearer and nearer. However, that’ s not true for Grandma Toyo Shibata.

Have you ever thought of starting a new career writing poems at an age of 92? That’s just what Grandma Toyo did. More surprisingly, she even had her two collections of poems come out when she was nearly 100 years old. Her first collection, Don’t lose heart, has ranked into one of the top ten bestselling books in Japan at the year of 2010, which sells far more than 1.5 million copies.

Some say her poems are very like Tagore’s, though seem simple and relaxing, they sharply point out the nature of life. Grandma Toyo writes what she loves and prizes. And her works can easily catch the hearts of millions of readers.

You may think Grandma Toyo lived an easy and comfortable life. However, life didn’t treat her that well. She had to take several different jobs to support her family at a very young age. She was one of those who witnessed (目击) the Second World War. It’s hard to imagine how many difficulties and how much hardness she has got over all her life.

But Grandma Toyo never complains what life does harm to her, yet often feels thankful for the kind people that have helped her. Though she’s in her 100s, she still has strong passion for life. Grandma Toyo still always brings mirrors and lipsticks with her---Keeping beautiful is also important. Every day is new for her!

Chinese buyers used to prize foreign brands, thinking that products made by American or European companies are of higher quality(质量) than Chinese ones. Increasingly, that’s no longer the case.

Chinese people born before 1985 generally think that foreign brands are better than Chinese ones, billionaire William Li told Business Insider during a recent interview on CCTV 9. But for who were born after 1985, it is a different picture.

“When I first went to the United Kingdom in 1997, I thought that the difference between China and Europe was quite big,” Li said. “But for those born in the 1990s, when they visit Europe or the US, they do not think there is a big difference.”

The change in thinking among Chinese buyers is showing up in many markets in China where western companies used to control. A study by Credit Suisse published in March found that young Chinese buyers are increasingly showing a home brand bias.”

More than 90% of young Chinese buyers would prefer to buy home appliance brands, according to the study. Meanwhile, home companies producing food, drinks, or personal care products increased their share of the market by 3, 3% over the last ten years to nearly 70%.

“Chinese buyers, especially the younger ones, don’t just believe that foreign brands are better. Right now, Chinese buyers think China is good and ‘Made in China’ is not bad at all,” Charlie Chen, head of China buyer research at Credit Suisse, told South China Morning Post in March.

The Chinese smartphone market is controlled by home companies—Huawei, Oppo, Vivo, and Xiaomi. Apple is the only foreign brand in the top five, but it has lost large ground to the home brands in recent years. Its market share is believed to be down to 37% from a 2015 high of 54%.
