My favorite magazine My favorite magazine is “中外学生文萃", literally selected works of students from china and abroad. I first came to know this book in junior high. I hated myself being overwhelmed by school work. So I went to our tiny and book-insufficient library whenever time permits. Our old librarian introduced introduced this magazine to us telling us it was quite fascinating. So I subscribed to it,3.8 yuan each and twice a month(sadly I do not recall how often it was published). The librarian was right. The magazine was amazing , it included anecdotes of famous people like Eisenhower--how he injured his knee and developed a leg infection and how he got through it; touching stories like a crippled mother worked hard to feed her son and he finally get into Tsinghua univeristy, like the stories of Mother Teresa.All those stories made an impression on me.Even now, after 7 years of it's final issue,I still remember some stories vividly,and some of them are still in my closet.In some way it was like chicken soup for the soul in those days.I am grateful to that librarian and whoever is in that magazine.
