    Wu Hai works for NXTV (Ningxia Broadcast and TV Station). He developed an interest in reading as a boy. When he was in Grade 1, he got his first library card. Since then, he has been a real "fan" of reading.

    One day, in May, 2014, Wu went to a reading salon (沙龙). To go to the salon, he had to pay 100 yuan. Wu thought it was a pity that some of his friends wouldn't like to go because of the cost.

    Two months later, Wu and his wife，Sun Ping, started a free reading workshop. They named it "Sunshine Sharing Collection". They wanted to promote (宣扬) the idea that "sharing makes a change in reading".

    Sun Ping also works for NXTV. After talking with her husband, she started an online course (课程), Voice Bookroom. Through the course, she helps members of the workshop to improve their reading skills. They also organize reading and sharing activities in schools with students and teachers. In 2019, the Wu family was named as "the most beautiful family in Yinchuan".

Monty Roberts was the son of a horse trainer who would go from farm to farm training horses. Once when he was a senior school student, he was asked to write a paper about what he wanted to be and do when he grew up.

That night he wrote a seven-page paper talking about his goal of someday owning a horse ranch(养马场). He wrote about his dream and he even drew a plan for a large ranch.

The next day he handed it in to his teacher. Two days later he received his paper back. On the front page was a large red F with a note that read, "See me after class."

The boy with the dream went to see the teacher after class and asked, "Why did I receive an F?" The teacher said, "I can't give you a good grade. There's no way you could ever realize your dream! You have no money! You come from a poor family! Owning a horse ranch needs a lot of money!"

The boy went home and thought about it long and hard. He asked his father what he should do. His father said, "Now, son, you have to make up your own mind on this. However, I think it is a very important decision for you."

Finally, after sitting with it for a week, the boy turned in the same paper, making no changes at all. He stated, "You can keep the F and I'll keep my dream."

Twenty years later, that same school teacher brought 30 kids to camp out on Monty's ranch for a week. When the teacher was leaving, he said, "Look, Monty, I can tell you this now. When I was your teacher, I was something of a dream stealer. During those years I stole a lot of kids' dreams. Luckily you had enough courage not to give up yours."

One day in 2012, a 13­year­old boy with a broken bike walked by Mick's house. "I was working in my garage, and he asked if I could fix it，" says Mick, now 53.

The boy's bike had a broken wheel. Mick sent a post on Facebook, asking his friends if they had the needed part. One friend saw the post and gave away two used bikes. Mick took parts from each to build a new set of wheels for the boy.

Soon after, Mick repaired a bike for the boy's brother and fixed one for his sister. Word spread, and during the year, he had fixed up lots of bikes for local kids whose parents were not able to afford new ones.

"People are throwing away bikes day and night，" says Mick.

Mick puts the bikes and bike parts in his garage. "I take off the good tires or the handlebars or the seats and use them，" he says.

Up to now, the bike man has repaired hundreds of bikes and given away nearly 700 newly repaired bikes. They're free, but the kids must agree on two things: They have to learn how to put waste things to good use and they have to try their best to study in school.

If a kid's grades are low, Mick requires a teacher's note "saying that you're doing your best". Mick also hopes the bikes will get kids off the sofa. "When I was growing up, we all rode our bikes，" he says. "Hopefully, these kids can get some exercise."
