As an avid reader of China .Today to which I first sub-scribed in 1981 at the Guangzhou Fair, I would like to take the liberty now to put something right concerning Valentine＇s Day. This is not a Westem festival and it has nothing to do with a saint or religion. It used to be an Anglo-Saxon habit to dedicate one day per year to present flowers to a person you treasure （friend, lover, nice colleague, etc.）,

China’s state-funded healthcare system has made remarkable progress over the past years following a slew of reforms. It now covers 96 percent of the population,and the share paid by each individual has also fallen steadily. But there is still a lot of room for improvement.

When I was a young boy, I was fascinated with dinosaurs. I read many books on them, and used to draw pictures of T. Rexes, Stegosauruses, and many more. But I never knew that China had so many dinosaurs... until I read the Special Report in Volume 55, Issue 12, titled "The Middle Dinosaur Kingdom." Not only did the articles in the Special Report rekindle my interest in the subject, but I also learned a wealth of new and fascinating information about the ancient rulers of the earth. Paleontologist Xu Xing deserves great credit for his work in bringing dinosaur research in China up to international standards, and spreading interest in the subject among young people today. If he keeps up his good work, Western boys today will not be as ignorant about China's dinosaur situation as I once was.

I am unimpressed by the news in the Focus column of November 2007： ＂Average RMB 120,000 Wedding Price Tag.＂ There is no denying that the wedding industry contributes much to GDP But from a different angle, weddings are nothing but extravagance and waste. In our country, there is an extreme disparity between the rich and poor.

正Employment,or unemployment,will remain a big issue for Chinese leaders in the new year.But it is primarily something that the individuals concerned,rather than policymakers,must deal with.Jobs give people dignity and the means to a living.Finding good jobs in such a populous country is not easy,but where there’s a will there’s a way.There are those
