　　Dear Editor Li,

　　I feel much honored that I was a Rainbow volunteer in 21st Universiad held in Beijing. I was very busy form early mornings to late evening during the 11 day Universiad, yet the experiences I have got are so previous that I will never forget in my life.

　　In the 11 days I had experienced such a strong passion for our motherland. I felt what I did and how I performed in my service represented China. Being a volunteer means that one is offering assistance without expecting any economic compensation. “I am here to give, not to take.” This is what I said frequently to those athletes abroad who, whenever encountering, would give us such praises as “thank you very much”,“ I really appreciate it” and so on. I am sure the Universiad in Beijing provided people worldwide with an opportunity to get to know China and what we did leads them to get a nice image of China and the Chinese people.

　　The 21st Universiad also offered our college students chances to apply what we learned to society and learned many things that we could not possibly learn elsewhere. In the service we had undergone various kinds of affairs that require knowledge of language, etiquette, knowledge of sports and knowledge of all sorts of other things related to the sports and the life of athletes. It is quiet a different experience from learning at school. It is so impressive when we meet a person from different culture, when we hear praise, frequently used in the classroom, from a native speaker and when we face something challenging us to find the solutions.

　　I am sure all the university volunteers share a common feeling of being useful and being pound of our contribution to the success of the 21st Universidad.

　　Yours sincerely,

　　Li Ming

　　In this cartoon, a cock is running up the stairs with a placard in his hand……“promotion”, while an egg-laying hen is sitting there, laying eggs.Behind her, we can see a basket full of eggs and on that basket, the words……“outstanding achievement”……can be read.

　　Although the picture, entitled “only because of his pleasant singing”, is merely a satirical drawing, yet, the phenomenon is not uncommon in our society.Some government officials, hoping to be promoted, have most of their thoughts on how to flatter their leaders instead of serving the people: The new year is coming.What gifts should I present to my boss; My leader’s kid is going to enter high school.How can I help him; My superior’s house needs decoration.Can I do something…etc.

　　In my opinion, to prevent such things from happening, we should take following measures: First.We must educate our cadres to serve the people from the bottom of their hearts.They should know their position as a servant to the people.Second, we should have our government clerks be watched by the people.Only the people have the right to promote or depose them.Third, the leaders must be supervised by our press media.Their rise in rank must be transparent.Only in this way can we have a better and more efficient government.
