BBC News on TV, radio and online often brings you stories from across the world. Today we can hear “Life in China”. Have you got a story about life in China today? If you do, please put your stories here.

Wu Peng, Anhui	I am a 14-year-old boy from a poor village in Anhui Province. Like many other left-behind children in China, I live with my grandparents now. My parents went to work in Shanghai several years ago. They call me twice a month to ask about my study. I really miss my parents and I hope I can go to school in Shanghai. I think every child needs parents’ love and care.
Cindy, Shenzhen	I like traveling and I have traveled a lot around China. During the trip, I often find that a number of Chinese often break the rules in public. For example, when I traveled in Hong Kong this year, I saw a kid eating noodles on the underground, which was against the rules. However, the kid’s mother didn’t think she did wrong. Can you believe it? Let’s improve our public manners.
Mike, Shanghai	These days, we’re asked to “clear our plates” when having our meals and say no to wasting. Some of us used to order more than what we could eat. That was a big waste of food. Now we need to finish the food we order. We should also stop wasting in some other ways. For example, we should turn off the lights when we leave the classroom.

One of the best things we can do in our lives is this：

Begin again

Begin to see yourself as you were

When you were the happiest and strongest

You’d ever been

Begin to remember what worked for you

（and what worked against you）

And try to make things work again

Remember how natural it was when you were a child——

To live a lifetime each day

Begin to forget about the troubles you have carried with you for years：

The problems that don’t matter any more

The tears that cried themselves away

And the worries that we are going to wash away

On the shore of tomorrow’s new beginnings

Tomorrow tells us it will be here every new day of our lives

And if we are wise

We will turn away from the problem of the past

And give the future——and ourselves——a chance

What will the future be like? What do you think of it? Here are some answers from some students.
Roy Burns: I think life in the future will be better.Most people in the world will use “green cars” by 2020, so there will be less pollution and people will live to be 200 years old.As for space travel, I would say, we will travel to Mars(火星) and some other stars in about fifty years.
Helen Lester: If we don’t take good care of the earth now, our children and grandchildren will be born into a world with too much pollution.There will be fewer trees and more buildings, because there will be more people.
Kitty Smith: I agree with Helen Lester.Things will be worse.The weather in the future will be much hotter.Human beings will have to look for another planet to live on.
