is that all my classmates think the uniforms are
.We think young people should look smart and we would like to wear our own clothes. Our
believe that if we did that, we would concentrate more on our clothes than our studies. We disagree. We would
more comfortable and that is good for studying. If we can’t do that, we should be allowed to design our own uniforms. That would be a good way to keep
teachers and students happy.

each other. We also think that vacations should be

Many Chinese leaders are fond of ancient Chinese literature. Xi Jinping, who was in June 1953 in Beijing, was a graduate of Tsinghua University and
the CPC in January 1974. When Xi Jinping was elected (选举) China’s president at the National People’s Congress in March last year, he talked about some of his ideas on
to run a government. When he spoke, many Chinese people were pleasantly
to find that Xi Jinping has good knowledge of Laozi and Daois. “Running a large country is like frying a small fish(治大国如烹小鲜),” he said at the meeting. It’s a quote from Tao Te Ching(《道德经》)，a book
by Laozi over 1,200 years ago.
In fact, it was not the time Xi had quoted Laozi. Xi often referred to (参照) the beliefs of this great thinker when he worked
a provincial governor(省长).
Xi Jinping is not the leader who is interested in Laozi. Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev said in an
with XinHua News Agency in October 2013, “He who conquers others is strong; he who conquers himself is might(胜人者有力，自胜者强). It was true 2,000 years ago, and it is
true in the 21st century.”
