Fast Food and Traditional Chinese Cuisine
Since American-style fast food was introduced into Chinese market, it has been spreading at a blazing speed. Many people like to go to McDonald's and KFC for hamburgers, French fries and ice cream, but I still prefer traditional Chinese meal.
First of all, by eating traditional Chinese meals, one can keep a well-balanced diet. Foods in McDonald' s and KFC typically contain high calories and excessive calories will accumulate in the form of fat in the body; this may make people overweighed. But a typical Chinese food provides one with enough vitamins and protein that are needed to keep the physical fitness of humans.
Therefore, although one can eat western fast food once in a while for a change, eating Chinese food is more healthy and enjoyable.

Youngsters’ Worship
Not so long ago, a piece of news made everyone reflect on the "fans" phenomenon again. Beyond anyone's wildest dreams, a young girl, who is crazy about Liu Dehua, had made her father into death recently. For her own part, she can do everything for her star, such as giving up her study, work, and even her life.
In western countries, people believe in God. However, we don't have a faith to rely on. In this case, there comes a large number of "fans". They look on big stars as if they were their God. Blind and ridiculous, they made all kinds of crazy behaviors just to please their own stars. To some degree, young people nowadays lead a hollow spiritual life. They won't do such things if they feel fulfillment every day.
As is mentioned above, this phenomenon is popular and instructive. Nevertheless, we don't expect that kind of things to happen again.
