Angela Zou hardly writes text messages now. Sitting at her office desk, Zou asked her iPhone, where they should eat. When it buzzes seconds later, she lifts it to her ear for her friend’s reply. The conversation goes back and forth through these pieces of words before they decide on the place for lunch.
Like millions of others across Asia, Zou is using WeChat, a smartphone app developed in China, to send voice messages, snapshots (快照) and emotions (表情符号) to her friends. Now that its walkietalkie-style (对讲机式) messages have become everywhere, she said typing feels like hard work.
WeChat’s popularity has grown quickly since it came into use in 2011. Tencent, the company that developed the app, announced in September that its users had doubled in six months to 200 millions. Most users are in China, though WeChat is being used across Asia and already has users in the US and the UK.
Historically, it has proved difficult for Chinese Internet firms to develop in foreign countries. But WeChat is becoming the first Chinese social media application with the possibility to go to the whole world.
WeChat is similar to the popular US-based mobile messaging service WhatsApp, but it does more. It comes in eight languages including English, Arabic and Russian.
“I used WhatsApp before I came back to China from studying abroad and found all my friends were using WeChat,” said Zou, who is 25. “Now when I want to contact someone I use WeChat first.” The app’s features include Look Around, which allows users to chat to strangers nearby, while Moments works like Instagram.

I got to an orphanage (孤儿院) near my office after work and I was surprised to see so many kids there. I could see before my eyes happiness all around.
(A) People today are interested in trips, holidays or cell phones. They care nothing for love or kindness. But the kids in the orphanage showed great interest in (B) them. I could feel that and see that.
With smiling faces, they could be as happy as any king of the world. Look at us. We seem to be happy, but we are always thinking of something about ourselves, about our children, about our work or about everyday life. (C) It’s not always easy for us to smile.
I just want to ask: Can any of your art works bring a smile to your face? The answer is “no”. But those kids could easily do that, just with their simple art. Though not perfect at all, their art was special. They could see beauty and joy even in a bird flying over, and they could stop anger so easily into joy.
We make our body too shy to hug (拥抱) for free, go back when it comes to kiss. And they, in a short time, make strangers their fans and without caring — just fall upon us and hug us, and kiss us. They expect nothing in return but still make us so happy.
They could easily teach what love really means for they have already understood and can use the common language of love.

It is true that people with better education are usually able to get better paying jobs. In other words, they have more chances to choose a good job while people with little or no education don’t. It seems that the purpose of education is to make people get jobs. But this isn’t accepted by all people.
Some people may think that a person should spend the best years of his life to get education only for a way of living. This was probably one of the earliest reasons of education. In fact, if education is just a way of making a living, people don’t need to spend so much time in school. People can get education for a living in a short time. Subjects like history and geography need not be taught to everyone. Even language and mathematics need not be taught in detail (详细地), either. Here it is clear that education is much more than teaching a man to get a way of living.
Education is well-rounded and it is mainly for improving a man. It is not only to teach him to speak, read and write, but also to develop his creative thinking and other abilities. After that, it is to make him a wise man and thankfully enjoy the achievements of human. Education is to make a man lead a better life. Educated people are expected to be able to listen to good music, read good books, watch plays and most of all take an interest in the world.
I would agree that making a good living is an important reason for education, but certainly not the most important or the main reason.
