It is genera

25、lly agreed that hanzi began as simple pictures, images that the ancient Chinese people drew, painted or carved to describe nature or their lives.

Fortunately, you need to know only about two or three thousand characters for use in daily life!As China takes its place in t

31、he international community, the Chinese writing system has spread to other countries.

And, as Chinas culture and society have continued to develop,

37、 English, and received a grade of zero in physics. The boy managed to make the school golf team, but he lost the most important golf match of the season.Its not that his peers disliked this boy; its just that they never really seemed to notice him much. Even “Hellos” in the hall were a rarity. Out o

38、f all the failures in his life, there was something that did hold I great importance to this boy, his love of drawing. Although in high school, the cartoons he submitted to the yearbook were rejected, once out of school, the boy was so sure of his artistic talent that he approached Walt Disney Studi

39、os with drawing works. I wish I could say the studios I loved his work and immediately hired him, but such was not the case; another huge rejection.Despite his lack of successes, this boy did not give up. He then decided to write his own autobiography in cartoons, about a little boy who was regarded

40、 as a loser and a nobody.The name of this boy was Charles Schulz, the creator of the famous Charlie Brown and comic dog Snoopy.In life, it is sometimes easy to feel like a nobody. We pass hundreds of people on the street on our way to work, or walk through a faceless crowd in a mall, and no one seem

41、s to notice or care.
