I’m Jim. I have an experience of my own about Chinese culture which is popular with foreigners.
A few years ago, I went to Italy as an exchange student. Before leaving, I asked my mother what gifts I should take to the teachers and the classmates there. Mum said that the Chinese fan was a good option (选择) , for China is praised as “the Fan Kingdom”. I agreed completely, because it is more than a tool for cooling. And it’s also an important part of Chinese culture.
I went shopping and bought three kinds of Chinese fans. The first kind was the feather (羽毛) fans for the teachers, which was made of bird feathers. It was the symbol of Zhuge Liang, a very smart man in ancient China. The fans I bought for the girls were silk fans. They were also called “round silk fans”. Fans of this kind were made of silk with paintings of beautiful women, birds or flowers. They were very popular with women of all ages. As for the boys, I picked the folding fans from Rongchang, a place in the west of Chongqing. The folding fans were made of paper and bamboo. There were great paintings and calligraphy on them.
At the welcome party in Italy, my new friends were all excited to get the wonderful fans. And they were even more excited after learning about the stories and culture behind them.

Do you know anything about volunteer work? Have you heard of volunteer travel? During the trip, volunteer travelers often provide services like teaching, cooking, animal caring, and cultural activities. As a result, they get meals, classes or something else for free or at a lower price.
You may think this kind of journey can only be possible these years by modern transport (交通工具). But in fact, volunteer travel dates back to 1958. At that time, Alec Dickson and his wife Mora from the UK started Voluntary Service Overseas (VSO)—an organization providing volunteer work all over the world.
In the past, volunteer travel usually took place in foreign countries. However, more people have taken part in volunteer trips in their own countries these years. According to Sanlian Lifeweek magazine, volunteer trips to the countryside are attractive to people living in the city. They hope to take a rest from the fast and busy city life by doing some volunteer work in villages.
Volunteer travel helps city people have a taste of village life. Many people are bored with the busy life in the city. What’s more, volunteer travel helps local (当地的) people improve their lives.
Volunteer travel can not only show kindness to people in need, but also help people get more life experiences. Why not give it a try next time?
