Wu Ming is a young German born after 1995. Wu, a big fan of Chinese culture, has been learning traditional Chinese medicine (TCM)since 2016. Now he's studying for his master degree at Henan University of Chinese Medicine.

As he thought some diseases can't be treated completely with Western medicine, he decided to dig into TCM. Wu came to Central China's Hénan Province in 2015, where TCM culture can be enjoyed because Henan Province is the hometown of Zhang Zhongjing, the medical sage (圣人) of ancient China. After one year of learning the Chinese language, he started to learn Chinese medicine.

In the early stages, Wu always tasted some Chinese herbal medicine by himself. He also tried his best to learn and practise Chinese,especially the Henan dialect, as his teachers,schoolmates, and even some patients speak the Henan dialect in their daily conversations.

Studying TCM made a difference to Wu's life. He used to be crazy about electronic products and stay up late every night, and he was trapped in (陷入) the fast-paced but unhealthy daily life. But now, he lives a balanced and peaceful life, practising good habits like drinking tea, as well as reading ancient books.

Wu also uses what he has learned to help his family. With acupuncture （针灸)，various physical disorders of his family have been well treated. Now, he always provides his family members with some advice about staying fit after he checks their skin or tongues online. Over time, his family begin to understand his love for TCM.

In Wu's opinion, there's no big difference between China and Western countries. "We are the same. Misunderstanding comes from being out of touch," said Wu. He plans to run a traditional Chinese clinic (诊所)in Germany after graduation,which could serve as a bridge between the two countries and publicize TCM and its culture.

Both my parents were educators, and for the past 40 years, I've done the same thing. For years, I have watched people teach. And one of the things that are not often noticed is the importance of relationships. Someone says that no important learning can happen without an important relationship. That’s true. Kids may not even learn from people they don’t like.

How do I build relationships with kids and look after kids? I once gave a test - 20 questions. A student missed 18. I put a "+2" on his paper and a big smiling face. I said to him, "You got two right. You didn't miss them all. And when we review this, won't you do better?" He said, "Yes, I can do better." You see, “-18" may be a blow to his pride, but "+2" said, "T am not all bad."

And for years, I watched my mother take the time at recess(课间休息)to review, go on home visits in the afternoon, and buy small gifts for kids. After she retired (退休),some of her kids came and said to her,"You know, Ms. Walker, you made a difference in my life. You made me feel like I was somebody." When my mama died, there were so many students at her funeral (葬礼). It brought tears to my eyes, not because she was gone,but because she left a treasure of relationships that could never disappear.Can we have more relationships? Of course, yes. And we teach anyway, no matter what kinds of kids we have.

Teaching and learning should bring joy. How influential our world would be if we had kids who were not afraid to take risks, Who were not afraid to think, and who had a champion （拥护者)！Every child should have a champion, an adult who will never give up on them, and who understands the influence of connection and believes that they can become the best.

8. What is the author's purpose in writing the first paragraph?

A. To show the key to people's success.

B. To show the importance of education.

C.To tell us the value of relationship in teaching.
