Letters Alive got its idea from a UK program with a similar name. Both shows invite famous actors and actresses, but there are no funny jokes or different competitions. Instead, it's just one person walking up to a microphone and reading a letter.

The letters were written by people from different times in history. For example, in one episode（集）they read letter written by famous writer Xiao Hong to her younger brother in 1941. The letter shows that Xiao Hong missed her brother so much and had great hopes for his future.

"Every letter opens another world for us," according to Guan Zhengwen, the director of the TV show. "It seems that we can experience the real lives and feelings of the writers."

Since its first episode on Dec 5, Letters Alive has been widely praised. Many audience（观众） members said that it has provided breath of fresh air to todays' TV shows.

Apart from Letters Alive, some other cultural TV shows have also been well received by Chinese audiences. They include Chinese Poetry Conference（《中国诗词大会》）, a classical Chinese poetry competition, and Readers（《朗读者》）, a program that invites people to read poems and articles they like or wrote.

"This means that our audiences are not only looking for entertainment（娱乐）like gossip（八卦）and eye-catching games," reported China Youth Daily. "Cultural values and true feelings are the keys to winning praise."

I suddenly felt very sorry because I was about to throw away new drink just because it was too heavy. I walked up to him and handed the drink and some bread over to him. The man looked up in surprise and took what I gave him.

A huge smile appeared on his face. I felt I couldn't be happier with myself. But then he said："Wow, this is my son's lucky day!"

With that, he thanked me happily and started off on his bike. I even heard him singing as he rode away. It gave me a warm feeling inside. I now understand what it means when someone says, "Giving is getting." Though it was only a small act, I learned more in those two minutes than I did in the rest of the month.
