Life is full of unexpected surprises. Paul was 71 years old and came from England. He liked using a 3D printer to make models.

One day, while Paul was searching for something online, he saw a red car on a website. It was his father’s favorite car made in the 1950s. He felt so shocked!

The car brought Paul back to the “good old days”. When he was a child, his dad always drove him around London. He sat in the back seat of the red car excitedly. When he went abroad to work, this car took him away from home to say goodbye to his father. To his surprise, many years later, the car showed up online!

Paul decided to buy the car. With his son’s help, he bought it. It was a really difficult job to repair the car because it was old and broken. But Paul didn’t give up. He spent a long time repairing it. After he tried many times, he finally made the car as good as it used to be with the 3D printer. Paul drove it here and there.

More tigers are moving from Russia into northeastern China. This is because the environment is better for them to live in.

As human activities become less and the number of the wild animals is rising, tigers come to China for food.

Also, there is a cross-border corridor（跨境走廊）between China and Russia. It helps the tigers travel around freely. Data（数据）from a research team show that between 2013 and 2016, nearly 80 percent of the tigers moved across the corridor.

Besides, China started a number of projects to protect the tigers. As we all know, tigers need large areas to move around, so it’s important to build national parks. In 2021, the Northeast China Tiger and Leopard National Park was set up in Heilongjiang Province and Jilin Province. It covers around 14,100 square kilometers. The national park creates a shared home for the animals. As a result, the number of the tigers has grown.

One more reason is that experts from China and Russia work together to research on tiger protection. Many volunteers go to protect tigers around the forests every year. It’s believed that there will be more tigers in the near future.

When I was a little boy, I lived next to David. He liked to plant trees in his large yard on weekends. But the way he planted trees was quite different. He never watered his new trees. I asked him why he did so, and he said that watering trees would spoil them. “If you water the trees, each baby tree will grow weaker and weaker.” said David. He told me that watering these new trees would make roots（树根）shallow（浅）, but deep roots were very important for trees. I didn’t understand his words at that time.

Several years after I left home, I came back to visit my parents. When I walked by David’s house, I saw the trees that he planted. They are strong now. I suddenly realize that planting a tree is like raising a child. As a father of two children, I shouldn’t care for them too much. Instead, they should depend on themselves. In that case, whatever happens, they can make their own decisions.
