The Unstoppable Power of Persistence
In last September, Alibaba, a counterpart to eBay or Amazon in China, floated on the stock market with a value of ￡140 billion approximately. With such a record-breaking IPO, Ma Yun, the founder of this prosperous company, has become the centre of public discussion again. From my perspective, it is his persistence in chasing his dreams that impresses me most.
Throughout his life, Ma Yun himself admitted that he had experienced rejections for many times, including less good performance in entry exams for colleges in China, setbacks in finding a job and so on. However, being clearly aware of his strengths and weaknesses, he chose to sharpen his proficiency in English. In
spite of the limited resources and less ideal environment for learning English, he managed to practice his oral English as well as broaden his horizons by giving foreign tourists free guide every morning in his hometown Hangzhou. And this experience lasting for nine years proved to be conducive to both the improvement in his languages abilities and the formation of a brand new world view.
While working as a translator for a US trading company, Ma Yun decided to start his own online business in China, aiming to build a large Internet market to connect consumers and companies from different regions or countries. And that is how Alibaba began. At the beginning, there were only fifteen employees in 1999. But by now, this Chinese e-commerce giant has, according to Ma Yun, directly or indirectly created 40 million jobs in China. And its founder plans to expand market abroad. Nevertheless, the transformation from a startup to a listed company with the largest initial public offering in history, did not proceed smoothly. If he had not manages to attracted investment in 2000, Alibaba could have failed like many other Internet companies did at that time. What’s more, rumors or doubts have never completely disappeared, whether it was at the early stage or at the prosperous period of Alibaba. As for Ma Yun, scarcely does he allow these noises to overwhelm his inner voices. It’s his persistence and commitment that make his dreams come true in the end.
To sum up, just as the old saying goes, constant dropping wears the stone. As long as we pursuit our dreams like what Ma Yun does, nothing could stop us from realizing them, since persistence not only gives us the hope to hold on to our
dreams, but also enables us to fight against obstacles all along.

On Food Safety
We don’t have to worry about the shortage of food nowadays in our nation as the economy and technology have been more advanced than the past. However, we are faced with more and more social problems in many fields, such as health insurance, children’s education and so on. Over the past couple of years, several cases of the food scandal have been disclosed on various media. The problem of food safety has become a hot button across society. The prevalence of food safety problem has greatly impacted public health, which the government could not
afford to ignore, according to the online edition of the People Daily.
There are a couple of driving forces, I would argue, behind this undesirable tide. First and foremost, in the course of the rapid economic evolution, we ignore moral education. As a result, some producers make fake commodities or products of poor quality in order to make more profits. More importantly, the lack of adequate regulation and punishment on those illegal producers enforces the trend. Last but not least, the public especially customers from poor families, are not alert enough to the safety of food.
In view of the graveness of the problem, prompt and strict measures should be taken to turn back this evil trend. To begin with, it is imperative that relevant laws and regulation should be enforced in a stringent way to crack down on those irresponsible corporations and prohibit them from entering the food industry again. Meanwhile, the government should launch a massive moral campaign to educate all citizens to be alert to food quality. What’s more, moral ideas of producing and keeping food safe ought to be accepted by everyone. I am firmly convinced that through our combined efforts we are bound to enjoy more risk-free foods in the days ahead.

How to Build Beautiful China
How to build beautiful China has sparkled heated discussion among the whole society as general secretary Hu Jintao emphasized the importance of ecological progress in his report to the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC). China have maintained a huge momentum in economic development in the past 30 years, so many people support the idea that economic development should be given the top priority and we can solve environment problems after China becomes more developed. However, many people opine that we should put more emphasis on ecological progress as environment is indispensable for our sustainable development. The second view sounds more reasonable, but how can
