To love and be loved is necessary to every person. Love has the power to lift our spirits or send us into the depths of despair. I like this poem: Love is patient, love is kind and is not jealous; love does not brag and is not arrogant, does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered, does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails.
The Chinese seldom eat mutton except in Northern China, where the influence of Mongol and Muslim communities is stronger, so eating beef is more popular than mutton.
The high price of beef and most chinese people unfamiliarity with its taste, smell and cooking method are the main limitations for beef consumption when compared with other meats like pork, fish or chicken.
So mainly residents of urban areas of a small family with young better educated males, possessing a good income and ease of cooking preparation are able to afford to buy fresh beef at high price and cook at home.
Frozen beef offered mostly at supermarkets with good refrigerator facilities is the least popular because chilled beef is a rather new concept to the Chinese people .
We prefer fresh, even live products, and enjoy the smell and taste of such food items.
Companion
You are the arrow that speeds away,
I am the tail feather following your arrow with the sound of the wind.
You are the hawk that is wounded,
I am the moonlight to comfort you.
You are that upright pine tree,
I am the rattan tangled up the tree.
Hope that eternally,
You are forever my companion.
I am forever yours,
Your gentle wife.

China’s government is taking strong measures to correct poverty by increasing investment in rural areas, especially in infrastructure, irrigation, education and health that aim to create a balanced, prosperous society through economic and social development.
At least one-third of all cancer cases are preventable.
Tobacco is the single largest preventable cause of cancer in the world today. It causes almost 80% of all lung cancer deaths and about 30% of all cancer deaths in developing countries, including deaths from cancer of the oral cavity, larynx, oesophagus and stomach.

Regular exercise like swimming or brisk walking and the maintenance of a healthy body weight, along with a healthy diet will considerably reduce cancer risk.
How to make new friends and maintain good relationship with them:
Friends should be treasured for true friends are few and far between.
Respect your friends, listen to what they have to say and do so with an open mind and an open heart. You don't have to agree but you need to listen.

Good friends are like soft cushions on hard seats - they give you comfort and support in your times of need.
Maintaining a network of friends is vital for your mental wellbeing. They are the ones who will pull you through a crisis, listen to your problems, and share your interests and experiences together.
Making new friends can be a challenging experience. However it is a fruitful and rewarding process when you finally find someone whom you can call a friend.
Do not be afraid to speak up and initiate conversations. Put on a sincere smile. People will find it easier to talk to you if you seem friendly. Most importantly, be at ease and be yourself!
Friends will be there in times of need, so appreciate them and do not take them for granted.
Do not abandon your friends who are in need meaning when they need your help.
Always communicate, be a good listener and express your feelings and also listen to your friends, empathise (meaning understanding) with them when they are facing problems.
Always resolve any misunderstandings by learning to accept differing views and make compromises when necessary. It helps to clear the air and prevents relationships from turning sour.
Always be honest and trusting as it takes a lot of time to build up trust between two persons, but that is a key ingredient to a healthy relationship.

In true friendship nobody has to weigh the thoughts or measure expressions before saying anything to each other.
