I’ll tell you a story about a Chinese student. It happened when he studied in England. His family name was Sun. It is S-U-N, just the same as the “sun”, the sun in the sky.

England is a country with bad weather. It is often cloudy or misty(多雾的) and it rains now and again. So people don’t get much sunshine in the year.

When the Chinese student arrived at London Airport, a tall English policeman with a long face checked his passport(护照). The policeman was interested in the Chinese name “Sun”. So he said to the Chinese student, “ I see your name is Sun. You are wanted here.”

What a surprise to hear that! Everybody knows if you are wanted by the police, you must have broken the law. So he asked the policeman, “ Is there anything wrong with my passport? Do I have to go back to China right now?”

“Go back?” shouted the policeman. “ Now that(既然) you are here, we’ll never let you go away.”

“What happened? What I have done?” asked the Chinese student in surprise. He thought he was going to be arrested(被捕). Then the policeman began to smile. He said, “ You don’t know what you have done, Mr Sun? You’ve brought sunshine to England. So we don’t want you to go away.”
