A
Once upon a time, there lived a great king known for being brave and strong. One day, he was wandering
around the woods by himself. Instead of depending on his advisers, what would please him, he secretly walked
学科网（北京）股份有限公司among people to collect information directly from them. In this way, he could know what was exactly going on in hi
kingdom and what people really thought about.
After walking for a long time, he lost his way and finally came to a hut. He saw an old lady outside the hut.
Though the old lady did not recognize the king, she still welcomed him with warmth. She served the king a plate
of hot rice with curry dish. The king was so hungry that he put his fingers on the hot food carelessly, and of course
the hot food burnt his fingers. He dropped some rice on the floor.
“Oh, you seem very impatient and hasty like our king.” the old lady said. The king was surprised at the lady’s
words and asked, “Why do you think our king is impatient and hasty?” The old lady replied, “Our king has a big
dream of taking all his enemies’ cities. However, he just focused on taking the larger and more important cities
while disregarding the smaller ones.” The king was confused and stopped the old lady, “But that’s a nice thing,
and I don’t see the problem with it.”
With a smile, again she replied, “The impatience caused you to burn your fingers and waste some of the meal.
Similarly, the king’s haste led to the death of many soldiers. Instead, if you eat the less hot part of the food on the
outer edge and then slowly move to the hotter middle, you can avoid burning your fingers and wasting food. In my
opinion, the king can take over the small cities and stop them from providing supplies as well as information to the
stronger cities. In that case, the enemies will lose their confidence easily. This will help him take over the larger cities
without suffering heavy damages.”

received a master’s degree (硕士学位) in Broadcasting and Hosting Art.

Embrace Again, a movie describing love between ordinary people during the
COVID-19 lockdown in Wuhan, Hubei Province, focuses on the ordinary people in our daily
life, making the movie more real and closer to life.
The movie is heartwarming, reflecting the ordinary people of Wuhan during the
学科网（北京）股份有限公司epidemic (疫情). The main character of Embrace Again is A Yong, which has archetype (原型) in real life. Wang
Yong, who is described as the role model of the times by Touching China in 2020, is a deliveryman and
volunteer in Wuhan. He takes the responsibility of transporting medical workers and medical equipment. Although
he’s initially afraid of the virus, righteousness and goodness pushes him to participate in the anti-epidemic war.
Xue Xiaolu, the female director, catches more importance to the value of female in the anti-epidemic war.
The film presents more from a woman’s point of view. Wu Ge, the female food delivery driver, works very hard
and participates with the team of volunteers. The doctor Xie has retired but still insists on going to the frontline.
Embrace Again took me back to the winter when COVID-19 broke out. I still remember the empty shelves of
the supermarket in my hometown. It was not only because people were on holiday during Spring Festival, but
also because the epidemic affected the transportation of goods. Buying so much instant noodles, rice and so on made
almost everyone nervous. Everyone wore masks and fought against the virus.
Embrace Again also shows us the meaning of life and death. The epidemic is scary, but the love can make
people face the fear. COVID-19 is frightening, many people sacrificed. However, new life also grew. So, embrace
and cherish the people who are with you now!
