For several years, a computer game “Happy Farm” has been popular among Chinese people.

Today, many Chinese have their own real Happy Farms.

A Farm of Her Own

It is Saturday. Yan Zhen is leaving for her grounds at edge of Beijing. She rents a piece of farmland for eight hundred yuan per year in the happy farm in the west of Beijing, an area of fifteen square meters.

If you're not good at farming, you can pay a farmer to care for the land, and you just pick the vegetables and visit the countryside with your friends or family on weekends. However, on some other farms, you just bring your basket and pick the fruits and vegetables you want before paying money.

Concern about Food Safety

“I think we Chinese have been troubled by problems of food safety. When you have planted your own vegetables, and you know what fertilizers(肥料) you have used. Pick them with your own hands, this is very safe.” Yan Zhen said.

The Happy Farm

Older people often remember that many years ago, farm products were untreated and food was clean, but now they are worrying about the poor food quality. Some of them find on these farms a means to help the community and to better feed the family. Some of them start gardening for their pregnant(怀孕)daughters to protect the health of the mother and child. On the other hand, some parents want to teach their children the value of work and healthy foods on a farm.

阅读表达

A TV programme has become popular in China recently. It has made people all over China become interested in writing Chinese characters(汉字).

The increasing use of computers and smart phones has left most young people hardly able to write by hand. Many of them are even unable to remember the 10,000 characters used in daily life without electronic(电子的)help.

CCTV started the Chinese Character Dictation Competition to improve people's handwriting skills. Contestants(参与者)on the show were school pupils, but it was found that 70%of adults in the audience were unable to remember how to write the word “chan chu”.

Because computers allow people to type characters simply by entering pinyin,they don't need to remember how to write them.” The keyboard age has had a big influence on the handwriting of Chinese characters, “said Guan Zhengwen,who designed and directed the show.

He added that he hoped to encourage people to keep it alive as an art form.

Hao Mingjian,an editor(编辑)of a magazine,putting his heart into Chinese characters,said,“Leaning Chinese characters goes on throughout your life .If you stop using them for a long time,it is very likely that you will forget them.”
