三. Article
I have just finished reading the book The Ordinary World, which is written by a famous Chinese writer, Lu Yao. It mainy talks about ordinary peasants who struggled for a better life in the 1970s to 1980s. In this book, the heroine,Tian Xiaoxia, make a deep impression on me. Though born in an official family, she has a soft place in her heart for all poor people. It was really heartending to read the part that she jumped into the flood to rescue the endangered girl and sacrificed herself. It is worthwhile to reading this book for many times and of course, I will keep the heroine in my mind forever.
