I like reading in my free time. Ive read all kinds of books which are written by many famous writers from all over the world. But I like a Chinese writer best. His name is Xu Zimo.
Xu Zimo was born in a big family. His parents were good at writing and his father taught little Xu by himself. When Xu Zimo was very young, he was interested in reading. Fables, stories or novels were his favorites and he often nearly forgot eating and sleeping.
When Xu was about six years old, he began to write some short stories. He was always practising writing and he did better and better. But he still kept on reading, because he always believed that “Reading makes a full man, a ready man and an exact man.”
When he grew up, his life dream came true. He became a world-famous writer. Not only Chinese but also people from other countries worshiped Xu Zimo. His writing was enjoyed by all the people. Everybody thought that Xus works were so nice and great. From his writing, people can understand a lot. I have learnt that if someone wants to be a great person, he must work hard!
Now, lets enjoy one of Xus verses:
On Leaving Cambridge Again Quietly I leave, Just as I quietly come, I quietly wave, Saying goodbye to the bright clouds of the western sky.
What I Have Lived For
Three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, have governed my life: the longing for love, the search for knowledge, and unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind.
These passions, like great winds, have blown me hither and thither, in a wayward course, over a deep ocean of anguish, reaching to the very verge of despair.
I have sought love, first, because it brings ecstasy---ecstasy so great that I would often have sacrificed all the rest of my life for a few hours for this joy.
I have sought it, next, because it relieves loneliness---that terrible loneliness in which one shivering consciousness looks over the rim of the world into the cold unfathomable lifeless abyss.
I have sought it, finally, because in the union of love I have seen, in a mystic miniature, the prefiguring vision of the heaven that saints and poets have imagined.
This is what I sought, and though it might seem too good for human life, this is what---at last---I have found.
With equal passion I have sought knowledge.
I have wished to understand the hearts of men.
I have wished to know why the stars shine.
And I have tried to apprehend the Pythagorean power by which number holds sway above the flux.
A little of this, but not much, I have achieved.
Love and knowledge, so far as they were possible, led upward toward the heavens.
But always it brought me back to earth.
Echoes of cries of pain reverberate in my heart.
Children in famine, victims tortured by oppressors, helpless old people a hated burden to their sons, and the whole world of loneliness, poverty, and pain make a mockery of what human life should be.
I long to alleviate the evil, but I cannot, and I too suffer.
This has been my life.
I have found it worth living, and would gladly live it again if the chance were offered me.

我为何而生
我的一生被三种简单却又无比强烈的激情所控制：对爱的渴望，对知识的探索和对人类苦难难以抑制的屿。
这些激情像狂风，把我恣情吹向四方，掠过苦痛 的大海，迫使我濒临绝望的边缘。
我寻求爱，首先因为它使我心为之着迷，这种难以名状的美妙迷醉使我愿意用所有的余生去换取哪怕几个小时这样的幸福。
我寻求爱，还因为它能缓解我心理上的孤独中，我感觉心灵的战栗，仿如站在世界的边缘而面前是冰冷，无底的死亡深渊。
我寻求爱，因为在我所目睹的结合中，我仿佛看到了圣贤与诗人们所向往的天堂之景。
这就是我所寻找的，虽然对人的一生而言似乎有些遥不可及，但至少是我用尽一生所领悟到的。
我用同样的激情去寻求知识。
我希望能理解人类的心灵，希望能够知道群星闪烁的缘由。
我试图领悟毕达哥拉斯所景仰的“数即万物”的`思想。
我已经悟出了其中的一点点道理，尽管并不是很多。
爱和知识，用它们的力量把人引向天堂。
但是同情却总把人又拽回到尘世中来。
痛苦的呼喊声回荡在我的内心。
饥饿的孩子，受压迫的难民，贫穷和痛苦的世界，都是对人类所憧憬的美好生活的无情嘲弄。
我渴望能够减少邪恶，但是我无能为力，我也难逃其折磨。
这就是我的一生。
我已经找到它的价值。
而且如果有机会，我很愿意能再活它一次。
One day, my mother and I said goodbye and went on a trip. I walked, walked and walked far and far. I went to a place with a waterfall. It was so beautiful there! I was fascinated by the scenery there, where the picturesque scenery, luxuriant trees, is really beautiful. I stayed here quietly for a day.
I walked along again and came to a wide and wide river. I saw the clear water in the river. In the end, there were small fish, shrimps, crabs, starfish, seaweed and luminous fish.。.。.。 I spent the night here again.

The second day, I started walking, walking about 10 kilometers, to the playground, there are a lot of good play, a Ferris wheel, swing, seesaw, horizontal bar, parallel bars, slide, pony, jumping bed, bumper cars, water guns, water ring and boat.。.。.。 I played there for a long time and said, “its fun. Its fun.”！"
I set off for home, and when I got home, I told my mother about it, but my mother smiled.
This is the dream in my heart! I hope there will be flowers, grass, small animals for company in our home, an amusement park public square for us to rest and play, and if my dreams can come true, that would be great!
