21、Mom said the unforgettable words, “I have cancer,” and gave me a tight hug. I could feel her chest shaking as she tried not to cry but failed.
If adulthood is started in a moment, that was it. For all of my twenty-four years, my Mom had been strong and supportive. For a moment, I was the adult, and she was the child. And I promised her with a smile that I’d help her through anything.
Shortly, Mom was given surgery and received chemo. We knew chemo would take her hair, so before it fell out, Mom and I went wig shopping together. We tried on everything. Mom had been wearing the same short hair for over two decades. When she put on a shoulder-length wig, I held my breath and stared. Honestly, I didn’t recognize my own mother. But then she smiled.
I went with Mom to every chemo treatment. During the two-hour IV drips, she joked about life, medical issues and even the pain. We spoke on the phone almost daily. She rarely complained. “Cancer can take my hair, my health and my life. But it can’t take my smile.” she said.
Mom was the most sociable patient the cancer center ever had. She made homemade noodles for the medical staff. She was grateful to the hands that tried to help her.
One day when I went to visit her, I found Mom sitting at the table doing her crossword puzzle without her wig. She looked up and smiled. I’d never seen a stronger or more beautiful woman. Months later, after the final chemo treatment, we held a graduation ceremony for Mom. Mom did beat her cancer!
Most of all, I saw a change in Mom. Nothing afterward seemed to worry her quite as much. From her, I learned I may not get to choose what I face, but I do get to choose how I face it.

22、These days, if there’s something you’re scared about while traveling, from insect bites to having your credit card stolen on the beach, there’s a piece of technology to deal with it.
The Smart Suitcase
An IndieGogo campaign has produced the Bluesmart, a suitcase for people who like every part of their travel life to be connected — and the features are pretty impressive.

The Portable Water Sterilizer
If you’ve ever had Delhi Belly or any kind of waterborne disease while travelling, this will seem like a complete life saver.

It’s also pretty reasonable at $69.95.
The RealTime Translator
Sigmo is designed to be a small, handheld realtime translator for 25 languages. It’s tiny—barely the size of a square of chocolate— and can be used with earphones or speakers and during phone calls. Right now, they’re predicting that it will be $65.00, but keep an eye on the developers for news.
The Cooling TeeShirt
Sol Cool is designed for people hiking around in heat. The fabric of the clothes has significant cooling functions when it comes to human body heat, creating a nice cool sense next to the skin.

23、British chemist David Evans has become an overnight celebrity on Chinese social media. His chemistry experiments have attracted over 2 million followers in just a few months. Evans is a chemistry professor at the Beijing University of Chemical Technology. He always wears a white lab coat, a pair of safety goggles (护目镜), and smiles often. Some web users say he looks just like the “grandpa of KFC”.
Evans has posted videos of various experiments. His most popular experiments have attracted millions of hits on video-sharing apps. Excited children’s cheers and shouts can be heard in his videos. “I hope my experiments can arouse people’s interest in science,” he says.
Evans has been interested in China since childhood. He first visited the Chinese mainland in 1987 to attend a chemistry conference in Nanjing, Jiangsu Province. He quit his job in the United Kingdom and moved to Beijing in 1996. Many of his friends thought he was crazy. But Evans says they just saw China’s challenges but not its potential.
Since 2011, Evans has turned to the Internet to popularize science. He learned that short-video apps are also popular in small cities and rural areas. And he realized this enables him to reach more students, who lack opportunities to perform fun experiments. But even a one-minute video requires a considerable amount of work. Still, he thinks it’s worth it to fulfil his responsibility to popularize science.
His experiments always fill schools’ lecture halls with laughter. Some viewers call him “a Harry Potter-like magician”, but he disagrees. “A magician never tells the secrets behind his tricks, but a scientist always gives an explanation.” He sees himself as a teacher. He performs experiments to spread knowledge, inspire thinking, remove misunderstandings and show that science can create change. Evans says he looks forward to more “chemical reactions” with China.
