On the first day of school our teacher introduced someone we didn’t know. I stood up to look around when a hand touched my shoulder.

I turned around to a little old lady with a warm smile. She said, “Hi, handsome. My name is Rose. I’m eighty-seven years old.”

“Why are you in university at such a YOUNG age?” I asked. She , “I’m here to meet a rich husband, get married, have a couple of kids, and then retire and travel.”

I knew she was joking. I was curious(好奇) what might have encouraged her to be taking on this at her age.

“I always dreamed of having a university and now I’m getting one!” she told me. We became friends. Every day we would talk nonstop after class. I always enjoyed listening to this “time machine” as she her wisdom and experience with me. And Rose made friends wherever she went.

At the end of the , we invited Rose to make a little speech. She cleared her throat and , “We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing. I’ve learned a few secrets to staying young, being happy, and achieving success. You have to laugh and find humor every day. You’ve got to have a dream. you lose your dreams, you will die.”

Known as the Forbidden City(紫禁城), two new areas in the Palace Museum has been open -- the Broken Rainbow Bridge and the Eighteen Ancient Pagoda Trees -- to the public since Sept 29, 2016. According to the the Palace Museum curator(馆长) Shan Jixiang, 76 percent of the Forbidden City will be open by the end of 2016.

In Chinese, the palace is called zijincheng, which means “the purple forbidden city”. However, purple is not seen a lot in the palace. The palace has mainly been painted in two colors, yellow and red. Red, the color of fire, shows happiness and success, while yellow stands for the earth and the Yellow River, the place where Chinese civilization(文明)came from. In ancient China, only emperor(皇帝) used yellow.

Then where did purple come from? Ancient Chinese astronomers(天文学家) believed that Polaris(北极星), the purple star, was in the center of heaven(天堂) and the heavenly emperor lived in the Purple Palace. So the palace for the emperor on Earth was called “the purple city”. Entering was not allowed unless the emperor gave permission.
