You may have heard of the famous saying,“East or West,home is the best.”What does the word“home”mean to you? How do you say the word in French? In Chinese? In your language? Although people usually know what the word means,it sometimes has no exact translation.It’s not surprising,because the idea of home is different from country to country,and from person to person.A home is more than a roof and four walls.It’s the cooking,eating,talking,playing and sleeping that go on inside.And at home you usually feel safe and relaxed.

Homes look different in different countries.They also have different things inside.For example,in cold northern Europe,there’s a fire in the living room or kitchen and all the chairs face it.In the south,where the sun shines a lot and it’s more important to keep the heat out,there are small windows and cool stone floors.

Zhang Feng, a 23-year-old man from Zhengzhou, China, has developed a special kind of kungfu skill.He called it “Shaolin Sunshine Hand”.It allows him to generate (产生) enough energy with his fists (拳头) to put out candles up to three meters away.

I used to watch those Chinese kungfu films during the 80s and 90s.I used to love seeing kungfu actors make things far away with their fists, but at that time I knew it was not true.However, after I watched the video, I changed my idea.The video went very popular in China recently.It showed that the young man named Zhang Feng put out 15 candles in a line three meters away with air or energy generated by his flying fists.

You may say it’s not true, and you’re not the only one.But the young man actually invited two reporters from The Zhengzhou Evening News newspaper into his home to see his act and then film him doing it.The two reporters tried their best, but were only able to put out one of the 15 candles set 10 cm apart, and even blowing air didn’t put out all the candles.Zhang Feng, on the other hand, put them all out just by throwing punches (挥拳猛击).The two reporters were in awe and couldn’t explain how he did it.They said that Zhang Feng was a great Shaolin master.
