The Real-name Train Ticket Purchase System Launched
With the largest population in the world and an underdeveloped railway system, China is notorious for ma-ki-ng train tickets particularly hard to purchase for ordinary citizens, especially during the Spring Festival when the railway is the primary means of transportation. As a result, ticket scalpers have proliferated, monopolizing a large quantity of tickets by either hiring people to buy tickets or conspiring with the ticket sellers within the railway stations.
As the entire nation's outrage over ticket scarcity keeps mounting, the Chinese government has introduced the drastic measure that citizens purchase train tickets with valid personal IDs. The system is designed primarily to crack down on ticket scalpers whose businehas developed into a major industry. By allowing each individual to buy only one ticket, the system seeks to make tickets accessible to people in real need, rather than controlled by a small number of profit-seeking and illegal scalpers.
However, this reformatory measure, while somewhat easing ticket scarcity, creates new problems. Buyers find the whole buying procetroublesome and time-consuming. When boarding the train, the passenger who forgets to bring his valid ID certificate will be denied acceto the train. I believe the introduction of each new system is coupled with shortcomings and there must be ways to improve the system as it is enforced. Of course, we look forward to the day when China's railway networks are so sufficiently developed that tickets are readily available to anyone at any time

When talking about our dormitory life, and probably all the dormitory life, we should never leave out one thing. This was what we called "bed talks". Though it was considered "illegal,"there was nothing to stop us from deliberately starting a heated discussion right after lights were out. It was our favorite and the only way of ending our day, and we were as punctual for it as our parents are for work. What was the most common topic?girls, of course! What other topics were there for three energetic adolescent males lying comfortably in bed? We judged them,ranked them, argued over them night after night without feeling the slightest sense of boredom for three whole years. Were we maniacs? Who is not a maniac at eighteen?
Of course, there were other things we talked about. I still remember one night six of us squeezed ourselves in the most uncomfortable posture onto three beds and held a "conference" discussing whether we should carry out an "impeachment" with our monitor the following day. It was not that he was troubled in any sort of scandal, but that we were just so disappointed at his work. By one o'clock in the morning, we finally came to a conclusion that included two major points. First, we could not reach an agreement on what our monitor's problems really were, because everyone had his own opinion. Second, we could think of nobody suitable to substitute him. From the next day on the six idealistic extremists turned into pragmatic realists. We signed a peace treaty with life, and as to our monitor, he turned out to be the best one in school.
If you ask me, among all the bed talks, which one gave me the deepest impression, I would say it was that night when I insisted that Louis was the prettiest girl in our claand Jerry said he would rather die than agree with me. Now after three years Jerry is dating Louis and I am still single. What a quack!
Frankly, I could hardly think of anything particularly special about dormitory life. There was never such a thing that had a dramatic impact on me. All that occurred to me were bits of trivial memories, such as the tears of Lance after he was refused by a girl, the grotesque expressions on James's face when he finally got his pills for stomach ache after staying for half an hour with the school doctor who was notorious for his loquacity, and the night when Jerry dragging a broken leg hopped all the way back with an arm around my neck…… These may mean nothing to outsiders, but to my roommates and me they are priceless. It was exactly through these trivial things that we grew and matured. By the time we had to say good bye to our dormitory, we all knew that we were no longer the kids of there three years before. We all knew that this precious period of time would never come back again since we were all changed by the dormitory, and because of that, we all felt like sobbing.
