One cold, rainy evening last October, I was in the hospital collecting medical records. A 43-year-old , whom I will call Ms A, was lying in bed. There were no relatives or friends with her. the bed beside her was empty.
After I finished my work, I was about to leave when Ms A spoke in her voice . “I haven’t seen you here before, doctor. Are you ?” Not really. It’s just that I don’t come here every day,” I replied. I was someone in her condition would want to talk.
Ms A started talking about . She told me that she had three children in primary school, who were a neighbor. “ My husband a year ago and I’m the only breadwinner of my family. We are not rich and my as a cleaner is exactly enough for me and my kids.”
I just sat quietly while she talked. She her difficulties and sufferings, and her struggles to earn money. She also expressed her fear about what would her children if something bad happened to her.
Finally, Ms A stopped talking with “I’m very sorry for keeping you here listening to my problems, but I feel now. I had no one to pour out my to.” A single tear fell down the corner of her eye.
A few days later, when I returned to the ward(病房), I discovered that Ms A had left as her had improved.
Ms A taught me one of the most important lessons a doctor can learn. Sometimes patients don’t need expensive medicine or state-of-the-art technology. They just need someone with the and willingness to lent an ear and spare a little of their time. For me, that is one of the best things a doctor can do for a patient.

For foreigners in China, food isn’t simply a meal. It’s sometimes a . I often fail to order the right food and use chopsticks correctly when I sit down in a restaurant.
Because not every dish has a picture on the menu, food becomes a guessing game. My father and I often what kind of vegetables or meat we’re eating. In one of our favourite Sichuan restaurants, it took three waiters 15 minutes to take our order for . I simply wanted water, but my father wanted to try one of the fresh juices listed on the menu. There were two , however. There were neither pictures nor English on the menu. Finally, he just ordered a Coca Cola.
One of our most embarrassing(令人尴尬的) experiences was at a famous restaurant. It was always , so we thought it might be a good restaurant to visit. We had the most difficult time ordering our meal, since there were so many choices. Luckily, the waiter was very and successfully understood us. During the dinner, noodles slipped(滑落) through my chopsticks onto the table lots of times. Once, I tried to pick up a dumpling for my father, but I it on his shorts. We both looked at it as it fell to the floor. I looked behind me and people were about my chopsticks skills.

“I love you” might be one of the most important combinations of three words in the English language. It’s the that a romantic relationship is serious. Besides, it also shows the closeness for parents, children or the ones who you love.
In Putonghua, “I love you” as “Wo ai ni”, but the way it’s used in China might be a little different, and most Chinese people are wondering .
The Global Times reports that some online videos showing children telling their parents “I love you” have become in China. One of them, filmed by an Anhui TV station, shows a number of college students telling their parents they love them. “Are you drunk?” asked a parent. In another video, shot by a Shanxi TV station, the parents’ responses (反应) are still mixed. For example, a father responded bluntly (率直地) — “I am going to a meeting, so much for that.”
Why don’t Chinese families use those words? “The parents’ responses show that many Chinese are not good at their feelings like that,” Xia Xueluan, a sociologist from Peking University, told the Global Times, “They are used to educating children with negative (否定的) language.”
Still, that doesn’t that love can’t be shown. In another article, Zhao Mengmeng, a 31-year-old woman, said she had never told her father she loved him face-to-face she found it a bit strange. Sometimes actions speak louder than words. However, Zhao gave her father a photo album recording photographs of them together on every one of her birthdays. The pictures were on the Internet later, being forwarded (转发) hundreds of thousands of times on Weibo.

I walked into the Huddle House Restaurant in Brunswick, Georgia and sat down at the table. I picked up the menu and was to order something for breakfast.

“I am sorry, Roger,” Tony rolled by me in the wheelchair, being pushed by his wife, raising his thin trembling hand. “I am so sorry for that I did to you.”
