Media should not only entertain the public but also undertake the responsibility of cultivating the public's aesthetic consciousness. Media should not just pursue audience ratings, or just turn arts into entertainment.

“媒體不應該僅僅是娛樂大眾，還應該承擔起培養大眾美學意識的責任。媒體不應只追求收視率，或者把藝術轉變為娛樂節目。”

I am glad to see that female officials and professionals can retire at a later age, and that they can still choose to retire at 55 if they want, according to a new regulation. Female professionals have gathered rich experiences by the time they are about 50 years old, and at that time their children have grown up, so they would have more time to devote to work.

“值得高興的是，不僅女干部、女技術人員延遲退休的政策實施了，而且《通知》還沒有‘一刀切’，如果由本人申請，可以在年滿55周歲時自愿退休。以高級女技術人員為例，她們在50歲左右不僅積累了很豐富的經驗，小孩也長大了，可以發揮很大的優勢?！?/p>

The entertainment community should condemn any performer who uses drugs. A number of famous actors and singers were found to have taken drugs last year, and such behavior has a bad effect on them and the entertainment community. Entertainers should behave themselves as they are public figures.

“娛樂界應該譴責所有吸毒者。去年，一些知名演員和歌手被發現吸毒，這種行為對他們自己和娛樂界都造成了很壞的影響。作為公眾人物，娛樂圈人士應該自我約束?！?/p>

I will never send my 9-year-old son abroad for education, because China has the best elementary education. Chinese children are getting solid science knowledge and other skills in our schools. I have read all of my son's textbooks. They are very well organized and very interesting. Schools in Western countries advocate that children should learn freely or through play, but it turns out that their children don't learn much. Chinese educators should have confidence. But some times, the pressure of taking exams and doing homework is a little too much for Chinese children. This is what we are going to change.

“我絕不會把9歲兒子送出國讀書。中國基礎教育底子扎實，內容豐富科學，學生在學校也能學到其他技能。我讀過兒子所有的課本，非常有條理，也很有趣。西方提倡“放羊式”教育，但最終學生學不到多少。中國教育者應該有信心。但有時學生的考試和作業負擔比較重，因此要給學生減負?！?/p>
