I got to an orphanage (孤儿院) near my office after work and I was surprised to see so many kids there. I could see before my eyes happiness all around.

(A) People today are interested in trips holidays or cell phones. They care nothing for love or kindness. But the kids in the orphanage showed great interest in (B) them. I could feel that and see that.

With smiling faces, they could be as happy as any king of the world. Look at us. We seem to be happy, but we are always thinking of something about ourselves, about our children, about our work or about everyday life. (C) It’s not always easy for us to smile.

I just want to ask: Can any of your art works bring a smile to your face? The answer is “no”. But those kids could easily do that, just with their simple art. Though not perfect at all, their art was special. They could see beauty and joy even in a bird flying over, and they could stop anger so easily into joy.

We make our body too shy to hug (拥抱) for free, go back when it comes to kiss. And they, in a short time, make strangers their fans and without caring — just fall upon us and hug us, and kiss us. They expect nothing in return but still make us so happy.

They could easily teach what love really means for they have already understood and can use the common language of love.

The United Nations has made the first Monday of October as World Habitat Day(世界住房日). The idea is to show the living level of ourselves. Everybody wants to have enough room. It also reminds the world of its duty for humans to have better habitat in the future.

We must improve city planning to deal with new challenges of the 21st century. In both developed and developing countries, cities and towns are feeling the effects of weather change, food danger, population growth and so on. These facts will change towns and cities in the century ahead. Many developing countries will continue to experience fast population growth in cities, along with its most serious problems, such as overcrowding and poverty(贫穷). Over half of the world’s population mainly live in cities, so there is no doubt that city planning will become the first thing to do for governments.

Unfortunately, the city planning systems in many parts of the world can’t deal with these challenges. After all, we know the problems, so we need to share the best solutions as efficiently and widely as possible by planning better for ourselves and our environment.
