Gao Defu, 10, is a student in a primary school in a small village in Guizhou. He used to go hungry or have only an ear of com for lunch at noon. But now, Gao and his classmates have better food and vegetable dishes for free every day, thanks to the free lunch program.
The program was started by Deng Fei, a journalist at the Phoenix Weekly(《凤凰周刊》). Early this year, Deng met Xiao Yu, a primary school teacher from Guizhou, and was told that students in Xiao's school didn't have lunch to eat. Instead, they drank water to lessen their hunger.
Deeply shocked, Deng decided to do something for kids in the poor areas. He posted a message on his microblog(微博)saying he wanted to build a canteen (食堂)at Xiao's school. The message soon got the support and attention(注意)of tens of thousands of people around the country. In March, some 500 reporters, along with a dozen news organizations and charity funds(慈善机构), finally set up the free lunch program.
Local teachers and foundation workers calculated that one lunch for one child cost 3 yuan. People can donate for a meal, a month's worth of meals, or a year's worth of meals for children on the Internet by going to http://www, mianfeiwucan, org.
According to the China Development Research Foundation(基金会), there are about 23 million resident students(住宿生)in central and western rural areas. Many of them come from poor families and can't afford nutritious lunches. Now, schools with kids that can't afford lunch can apply for help through the free lunch program's official website.
In half a year, the program has raised more than 16 million yuan, providing free lunches for poor students in 77 schools.

When my daughter was in primary school, she brought home four small twigs（嫩枝）one day. Her school gave these twigs to the students to plant. None of them looked very hardy, but with hope for the future, I planted them in our backyard. Over the years, because of an accident with the lawnmower（割草机）and poor soil, three of them died. Only one survived. It grew crooked（弯弯曲曲的）and very slowly. It never got very tall. In the end, it looked more like a fat bush than a tree. A few years ago, I noticed that it was starting to die. The lower branches were becoming bare（秃的）.Only the top third of the tree was still green. Last summer I did my best to save it by feeding it a lot of fertilizer（肥料), but it didn’t work.
Later one morning, I went out and looked at it again. I was wondering whether it would be better to just cut it down. It would make mowing the lawn easier. As I walked over to take a closer look at it, however, I noticed something moving within the leaves. It was a robin（知更鸟）patiently building a nest in the topmost branches. I smiled when I looked at it. I thought maybe this old tree was still useful. It might not be healthy or pretty, but it was still giving a bird a home. This tree made me know that all of our lives have purpose. It doesn’t matter if we are young and strong of old and sickly. Until our last breath, we have things to do, love to give, and joy to share.

Students at a primary school in Fuzhou, East China's Fujian Province were required to clean the school toilets to help them develop good habits.But some parents are strongly against the idea.They can't see the advantages of students doing such chores (杂事)．They think that the school should provide students with a proper education, not the chance to be school cleaners.
