As
is
symbolically
illustrated
in
the
portrayal,
there
is
a
boiling
hotpot
containing various ingredients of
multi-cultures. These pluralistic
cultures can be categorized as
celebrities home and abroad as Bi Sheng,
Lao She, Shakespeare and Einstein,
philosophical concepts as Buddhism,
Taoism, Confucianism, benevolence,
rite, humanism, enlightenment,
post-
modernism and deconstruction, as well as
performing arts as Peking
Opera,
Kong
fu
and
Swan
Lake.
We
are
informed
that
the
culture
“hotpot”
is both delicious
and nutritious.
The
purpose of the cartoonist is to show us that
instead of being
outdated and of little
value in a rapidly modernizing world, cultural
blending should be encouraged and
maintained. On the one hand, mosaic
cultures are part of the universal
heritage of humanity and they are
powerful means of bringing together
diverse peoples and social groups.
Consequently,
cultural
reintegration
has
become
indispensable
as
a
means
of promoting further culture
development and maintenance. On the other
hand, for China, as for any other
rapidly developing country, there is
a
danger
that
age-
old
customs
and
traditions
may
become
lost
in
the
shadows
of
modernization. If kung-fu, Peking Opera or swan
lake ballet ever
perished from the
earth, it would be a tragedy of immeasurable
proportions.
In my view, multi-cultures can be kept alive by
the people with the
time to do so, and
is extremely vital in ensuring a community’s
future
development and prosperity. As a
consequence of successful
commercialization efforts, unwavering
government support and growing
interest
overseas,
the
future
of
cultural
blending
looks
brighter
and
more
secure
than ever before.

Dear Friends,
On behalf of the Students’ Union
of
Beijing Foreign Studies
University,
I would like to
extend our heartfelt welcome to all of
the
overseas students from
all over the world to study in our university.
It
is my great pleasure
to propose
several practical
suggestions to
you. In the first place,
life in
this prestigious university
perhaps is
not as
satisfactory as what you expected.
You
may be tightly bound by
continual
classes,
excessive
homework
and
exams.
In
the
second
place,
in
spite of all these adversities, you
will still enjoy your life in
this
esteemed institution.
All
types of extracurricular activities such as
sports meets, speech contests,
different social gatherings and dancing
parties provide ample opportunities to
make friends.
All
in
all,
although
there
are
many
things
lacking,
life
in
our
campus
is a
worthwhile period in your whole lifetime. Wish you
enjoy your life
here!
Yours
sincerely,
Li Ming

As
is
symbolically
illustrated
in
the
cartoon,
supporting
each
other
with
their
powerful hands, two handicapped adolescents are
continuing their
new journey on the
ground. Crutches left behind, they have
successfully
cracked the hard nut of
lameness which might have confused the majority
of the disabled. The caption
indicates, “You have
merely
one leg
and so
do I. Helping
each other, we can travel all around.”
Undoubtedly,
we
can
deduce
from
the
portrayal
that
the
cartoonist
is
trying to attract our attention to the
issue of cooperation. According
to
a
survey
conducted
among
a
group
of
people
who
were
in
the
same
college
class
10
years
ago,
those
who
are
ready
to
give
their
cooperation
to
others
all become rich or
managers of all field, while not a single young
man
having difficulty in getting along
with their classmates becomes an
executive or boss. Why those who are
excellent in team work tend to be
managers
or
own
their
own
enterprise
in
their
later
life?
The
answer
seems
self-evident. On the one hand, if you
are competent in profession, but
have
difficulty
in
getting
along
with
your
colleagues
and
even
your
boss,
you can hardly survive the corporation.
On the other hand, your chances
of
success are much higher with wide circle of
friends who are willing
to cooperate
with you to provide information and resources.
It is my view that, first of all,
we can frequently use the drawings
to
enlighten the juvenile to learn to cooperate
successfully with each
other. On the
other hand, whatever difficulty or situation we
are
confronted with, those who have the
spirit of cooperation and team work
are
nearer
to
success.
Just
as
John
Adams,
the
second
U.S.
president
quoted
from the ancient Greek
Aesop’s Fa
bles
,
“United we stand, divided we
fall.”

It
is symbolically illustrated in the cartoon
that
a striker is preparing to shoot
at the goal defended by a goalkeeper on
a football field. In the goalkeeper’s mind, he
is
so
much
smaller
than
he
actually
is
that
guarding
the
goal
becomes
a
mission
impossible.
On the
contrary,
the giant guard seems to fill
up the whole goal in the
attacking
player’s mind.
The purpose of the drawing is to show
us that
in the face of seemingly
insurmountable challenges or
predicament, possessing self-confidence
is of utmost
significance
.
Regardless of
how much
success one has had in school or at work,
there are bound to be times when he or
she will
encounter difficulties and
problems.
It is at these critical times
that
his self-confidence, towards
difficulty and life in
general,
eventually
plays a
crucial role in
determining
whether he can turn failure
into
victory.
I can think of no better illustration
than the following one.
Helen Keller was born deaf,
dumb and blind, certainly nothing to
give her self-confidence.
Nevertheless,
she went on to
conquer her multiple handicaps to
finally become a writer and lecturer, to become an
inspiration to
all.
This case effectively clarifies that no
matter
what tasks we are
confronted with,
we should
never
overestimate the
difficulties or underestimate our
abilities.

As
is
symbolically
illustrated
in
the
portrayal,
the
Internet
is
a spider
web of
thousands
of
networks,
linking
schools,
universities,
businesses,
government
agencies,
libraries
and
millions
of
individuals.
Undoubtedly,
the Internet exerts such a profound
effect on our life that it
revolutionizes the way of people’s
living and thinking.
The
exaggerative and impressive cartoon has subtly
revealed the
duality of the
relationship between man and Internet. On the one
hand,
something like information
superhighways, the Internet can bring many
conveniences
into
the
school,
home
and
office.
With
a
basic
computer
and
modem,
any
individual
can
call
up
information
about
almost
anything
from
almost anywhere and
anytime. But on the other hand, a great many
people
admit that they are too much
addicted to Internet to maintain a regular
and wholesome lifestyle. Such a waste
of time inevitably leads to their
failure in their life and work.
Hence,
it
is
necessary
for
us
to
use
Internet
in
a
reasonable
way
and
restrain
from
overindulgence.
For
one
thing,
in
addition
to
providing
us
many
of the facilities and services we now must travel
to obtain, with
the Internet, the
computer will even let us communicate directly
with
other
homes
and
with
information
sources
worldwide.
For
another,
as
nearly
all activities could
be conducted in the comfort of our homes, we could
all become hermit-like, never feeling
any need to leave the computer.
Accordingly, the challenge of the
Internet means we should consider how
we can use it, so that it won’t control
us.

Dear Li Ming,
Congratulations!
I’m
absolutely
delighted
to
hear
that
you
have
just
been
admitted to Stanford University.
I know
there was a lot of
competition
this
year
but
your
hard
work
and
perseverance
certainly
paid
off.
I’d like to give you several practical
proposals on how to
prepare
for your university life.
Firstly, it’s my hope that you will
take
advantage
of
the
library
in
your
university
by
reading
books
outside
the
college
curriculum.
Secondly,
I
believe
that
free-time
should
be
divided
into
three main activities: physical exercise,
relaxation, and
communication with
friends and family.
