With the average home in the capital selling for 19,548 yuan a meter in November, a tiny mobile home built by a 24-year-old office worker is creating a stir(震动) online.

Dai Haifei built the 6-square-meter pad(住所) because he could not afford to buy or rent in the capital.

Dai’s new home costs him 6,400 yuan and he has been living in it for nearly two months in courtyard at Chengfu

Road, Haidian district.

Dai, who is one of the millions of migrants who moved to the capital from other parts of China seeking a better

life and better job, said he realized his financial burden had become too great.

The Hunan native said he simply could not make ends meet(收支相抵) when he became an intern at a

Beijing-based construction design company in 2009.

“I rented a home at the very beginning--a small room in an apartment that cost me about 900 yuan per month,”

said Dai in an interview with local media. “It was too expensive for me. ”

Dai’s father works on a construction site in his hometown and his mother is a cleaner.

Dai, who ended up becoming a formal employee of the company, figured out his own way to solve the

problem---with inspiration from a housing design project at his company’s exhibition early this year.

The project, named“An egg given birth to by the city”, included a series of egg-like movable houses, with a

karaoke house, chair house and trader’s house in it.

Dai, who borrowed 6,400 yuan from an older cousin and who got additional help from several friends, decided to

make one of his own. He spent nearly two months building his“egg house”in his hometown, a village in southeast

Hunan that is around 1,700 kilometers from Beijing.

You have to log on to your school's online system to check your grades, but you find the system is kind of inconvenient．What do you do?

When Daniel Brooks was a senior at Pioneer High School in the US, he came up with a Silicon Valley-style solution; he developed an iPhone app（application, 应用程序）I C Connector．

When he tried out his school's new Web-based student information system earlier this year, he immediately noticed some shortcomings．He could no longer view his current grades for all his classes at once．Checking several classes required several clicks-which for a teenager is so much work．To save himself all this trouble, Brooks developed the app and sold it on the Apple app store．Now it has 2,300 users who have downloaded it across the US．

"It ended up on every iPhone and iPad and portable device that any student and teacher had on campus," said Scott Peterson, the campus tech support worker at Pioneer High．

Brooks said he didn't create the app to get rich - it is free．"A student is not going to want to pay 99 cents," Brooks said．"They just want to see their grades more easily．"

However, in the months that followed, Brooks experienced highs and lows．His app is now so successful that users want more, in particular, his teachers have started pushing him to develop a version for them．However, the company Infinite Campus, which developed the information system, has been less positive．

The company said in an e-mail that he was confusing users and violating the company's copyright by using Infinite Campus' name and logo in the app’s name．Brooks' father, Michael Brooks, has offered to change the name, but says he needs time to get Apple's approval．Daniel also e-mailed and called Infinite Campus．They got no response．

Daniel Brooks starts at a California university this autumn．Despite Infinite Campus' attitude, he continues to try to improve the app and hopes to put out an Android version soon．

John McCain and Barack Obama call for closer U.S.-Chinese cooperation on trade, the environment and nuclear proliferation （扩散）in the upcoming issue of an American business group's magazine. They do so in an unusual effort to court voters abroad.

Both articles appeared Sunday on the website of the American Chamber of Commerce（商会） in China, and will be published in China Brief, the chamber's monthly magazine, on September 22.

Both stress that the countries should work more closely to ease trade friction（摩擦）, fight global warming, improve military exchanges, and block the spread of nuclear weapons to such countries as Iran and North Korea.

"Cooperation on the key, enduring global challenges, such as climate change, can deepen understanding and enhance confidence. ""We also need to deepen high-level dialogues on a sustained basis on economic, security and global political issues", said Obama in the article.

McCain agreed that the cooperation with China would be essential in addressing issues of global concern. "The United States shares common interests with China that can form the basis of a strong partnership on issues of global concern, including climate change, trade and proliferation," he added. “and I hope to see our relationship develop in a manner that benefits both countries and, in turn, the Asia-Pacific region and the world,” he noted.

Both candidates（候选人） were impressed by China's economic success.

"China has achieved extraordinary, sustained growth over the past three decades. Hundreds of millions of people in China live better now than most thought possible even two decades ago," Obama said.

"China's double-digit growth rates have brought hundreds of millions out of poverty, energized the economies of its neighbors and produced many new economic opportunities," McCain said.

Gao Wenhuan, 21st Century Online's special reporter, interviewed Marshall M. Bouton, president of the Chicago Council on Global Affairs. "My guess is, regardless of who is elected in November, you will hear basically the same description that China is a strategic partner and competitor," said Bouton.

A survey conducted by the Council in July 2008 found that the majority of respondents clearly admired China’s accomplishments, but some Americans viewed China’s rising global power as a threat. According to the survey, China now is seen as the most influential country in the world following the U.S..
