When people have different opinions or needs, conflicts (冲突) may happen. Naomi Drew, the writer of The Kids’ Guide to Working Out Conflicts: How to Keep Cool, Stay Safe, and Get Along, gives kids some useful advice on getting on with friends.
Q1: One of my friends often hangs out with us, but he has never invited me. What can I do?
A1: If a friend does something you don’t like, don’t be afraid to talk to him. Don’t be angry with him. Try to make him understand your feelings so that you can work through it together.
Q2: My friend is rude (无礼的) to other people. She said if I didn’t like her, she would stop being my friend.
A2: Do what you believe is right and you can even find some new friends.
Q3: My friend and I argue a lot. Although we’ll be friends again soon, I don’t like it. What should I do?
A3: “Winning an argument” isn’t always important. Next time when you argue, let your friend “win” if the thing is not important to you. If you give in (让步) a little, so may your friend. And remember, probably your friend isn’t wrong. He or she just sees things differently.

In September, Chengdu No. 1 Middle School in Sichuan held a special activity. Teachers asked students to share the stories of their family heirlooms (传家宝). Over 300 students took part in it, bringing their heirlooms to school and telling the stories behind them.
One of the students, 14-year-old Song Zhengchen, shared his family’s heirloom — a cassette player. His grandmother bought the player in the 1980s to listen to the news. Later, his mother used it to play music tapes. When Song was younger, his mother would often play old poems for him on the player. “Today, we have many new advanced music players. But we still keep it, because it holds beautiful memories of my family,” Song said.
Another student Xiao Yao, also 14, won first prize in the activity. Her heirlooms were some food coupons (粮票) from her grandmother. These coupons were used during a time when food was scarce. In the past, families could only buy a limited amount of food each month, and even rice required a food coupon. Xiao was amazed when her grandmother told her stories about this difficult time. “My grandma wants me to be thankful for what we have today and to work hard for a better future,” Xiao explained.
The heirloom stories shared by the students reflect the rich history and beautiful memories of their families. These items connect them to the past and remind them of the hardships their ancestors faced. Through these stories, we hope the students will carry on good family traditions, appreciate (欣赏) their family history, and continue to work hard for their future. By remembering the past, they can help build a better tomorrow for themselves, their families, and the country.
