A text play of A GOOD EXAMPLE FOR ME
(Time: Sunday evening; Place: at home; People: Mom and I )
I: Mom, do you know anything about Lin Qiaozhi?
Mom: No, but you may turn on the computer and get online to do some research on her.
I: All right, thanks. Look, I get her. It seemed that Lin Qiaozhi had been very busy traveling abroad, studying and writing books and articles.
Mom: What books did she write?
I: It is a small book on how to cut the death rate from having and caring babies by following some simple rules.
Mom: What are the rules? Tell me more about them.
I: They are simply rules for keeping babies clean and healthy.
Mom: Why did she write that? Who are the women that she thought needed that advice?
I: Let me see. Mom, I think it is intended for women living in the countryside. Perhaps they could not reach a doctor.
Mom: When did she live? I mean Lin Qiaozhi.
I: Here it is. She lived in the early 20th century.
Mom: Oh, that’s before the liberation and the founding of New China. It’s a long time ago. It must have been very difficult for her to get a medical training.
I: Why is that, Mom?
Mom: Because women’s education was always placed second to men’s. I am sure it was hard work and determination as well as her good nature that got her into medical school.
I: Mom, you are right. She is great for her kindness and consideration shown to all her patients.
Mom: So what about you, son? Have you made up your mind as to what to study at college?
I: Sure, mom. I will go to a medical university, to be a doctor as great as she is.
Mom: I am confident that you will be as good a doctor as her. Go and fill in the forms for the university entrance exam…

    Mother Teresa was born on 26th august 1910 and named Christened Agnes Bojaxhiu. She grew up in the Serbian town of Skopje, which was a poor country at that time. Her whole family was Christians. When she was twelve years old, she expressed her wish to become a nun. As she wanted to be sure on her wish, she spent six years pondering about this decision. At last, she made up her mind and worked as a nun to help the poorest people in India.
   After becoming sister Teresa, she said that she received a message from god that god wanted her to go to the slums to live with the poor. Her worked started. She founded a new congregation called the missionaries of Christianity in Calcutta. It helped the poor, the sick, orphans, alcoholics, drug addicts and even the aids patients. Mother Teresa was not afraid of infection. She looked after the patients herself and loved them. She never stopped taking care if them and never considered giving up anyone of them.
   Her work was made known to the world. Some people supported her but some didn’t. She didn’t care. She continued her work and setup other missionaries around the world. She gave love to all the poor in other parts of the world, not only in India. Although she was seriously ill, she never ceased to help the poor. Her work was recognized by the world when she was awarded the Nobel Prize in peace in 1997. She contributed the money she received to the missionary of charity.
