1. It was September 11th and Yuehan and John Jr wanted to know why the day was so significant. 2. John Jr went to his computer and learned about the year 2001. 3. September 11, 2001 was the deadliest terrorist attack in history, killing around 3,000 people. The attacks occurred when al-Qaeda hijacked four planes and flew two into the World Trade Center in New York City, one into the Pentagon, and the fourth into a field in Pennsylvania. 4. In response to the attacks, the United States waged the multi-decade global war on terror to eliminate hostile groups deemed terrorist organizations, as well as the foreign governments purported to support them, in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, and several other countries. 5. Ringleader Mohamed Atta flew American Airlines Flight 11 into the North Tower of the World Trade Center complex in Lower Manhattan at 8:46 a.m.[h] Seventeen minutes later, at 9:03,[i] the World Trade Center's South Tower was hit by United Airlines Flight 175. Both 110-story skyscrapers collapsed within an hour and forty-one minutes,[j] bringing about the destruction of the remaining five structures in the WTC complex and damaging or destroying nearby buildings. American Airlines Flight 77 flew towards Washington, D.C. and crashed into the Pentagon at 9:37 a.m., causing a partial collapse. The fourth and final flight, United Airlines Flight 93, also changed course towards Washington, believed by investigators to target either the United States Capitol or the White House. Alerted to the previous attacks, the passengers revolted against the hijackers who then crashed the aircraft into a Stonycreek Township field, near Shanksville, Pennsylvania, at 10:03 am.

This is Lily. She’s happy, just like you. But sometimes, not all children feel safe. Sometimes, bad things happen to kids, like being hurt or feeling scared. This is called abuse. One day, Lily noticed her friend Sam wasn’t smiling like he used to. He had a bruise on his arm and looked sad. When Lily asked if everything was okay, Sam said, "I don’t want to get in trouble." Lily didn’t know what to do. She was worried but didn’t want to upset Sam. She thought hard and decided it was important to help. So, Lily told her teacher, "I’m worried about Sam." The teacher listened and thanked Lily for speaking up. The grown-ups made sure Sam got help, and soon, he felt safe again. When kids like Lily speak up, it can stop bad things from happening. Every child deserves to feel safe, loved, and happy. If you ever see something that doesn’t feel right, tell a grown-up you trust. Even one voice can make a big difference. Speak up, be brave, and help make the world a better place for everyone.

Deep within the Whispering Woods, a serene forest bathed in eternal twilight, lived a group of elves known as the Sylvan Guardians. These elves, led by the wise and kind Elowen, were protectors of their magical realm. Their home was a hidden grove where the trees seemed to sing and the air sparkled with enchantment. One day, a shadowy presence began to creep into their grove. The once-vibrant flowers wilted, and the harmonious songs of the forest grew faint. Elowen, sensing a disruption in the magic of their land, gathered her closest allies: Thorne, an expert archer; Liora, a gifted enchantress; and Faelan, a courageous warrior. Together, they embarked on a quest to uncover the source of the darkness. Guided by ancient whispers and clues from the forest animals, they ventured into the heart of the woods. Their journey led them to an abandoned temple, overgrown and forgotten, where they discovered a dark crystal emitting a sinister aura. Realizing that the crystal was the source of the disturbance, they learned that it had been awakened by a rogue sorceress named Morgath, who sought to harness its power for her own ends. Morgath had once been a guardian herself but had turned to darkness out of greed. Determined to restore balance, the elves confronted Morgath in a fierce battle. Elowen’s wisdom and Liora’s spells, combined with Thorne’s precision and Faelan’s bravery, overwhelmed the sorceress. In the end, they reclaimed the crystal and returned it to its sacred resting place. With the balance restored, the Enchanted Grove flourished once again. The Sylvan Guardians were hailed as heroes, their unity and courage having saved their beloved home. The tale of their bravery became a cherished story, reminding all that even in the darkest times, the light of unity and bravery could restore harmony.

A little mermaid and her adventures in the sea

One sunny day, Lina was helping her father, a kind gardener, plant seeds in their garden. She asked, "Papa, why don’t we plant anything near the dark forest?" Her father smiled. "The forest may seem scary, Lina, but fear is like darkness—it feels big, but it shrinks when you face it." Lina frowned. "But what if it doesn’t? What if something bad happens?" Her father held up a small seed. "Do you know what this is?" "A seed," Lina replied. "Yes," her father said. "It’s tiny, but with care, it grows into a strong tree. Courage is like this seed. It starts small but grows every time you face your fears." That evening, Lina thought about her father’s words. The next morning, she stood at the edge of the forest, holding her lucky stone. Her heart raced as she stepped inside. The tall trees cast long shadows, and strange sounds filled the air. But Lina remembered, "One step at a time." As she walked, she noticed wildflowers and sunlight peeking through the trees. The forest wasn’t as scary as she thought.

I was born in this historically and culturally rich hometown of Lung Yeuk Tau, but I grew up abroad. Every time I return here, it feels like stepping into a world where time has reversed. Every brick and tile here tells a story of the past. The old walled village, situated on the mountainside, stands with its majestic blue brick walls, seemingly narrating tales of repelling pirates. The steps in front of the village gate are cleverly designed as a defensive position, making it difficult for enemies to attack. The small holes and high platforms on the walls were used to monitor outside movements, ensuring the villagers' safety. Such intelligent architectural designs leave me in awe of my ancestors' wisdom. Passing through the ancient gate, I see orderly houses with winding paths paved with blue stones. Not far away, the grand ancestral hall—Song Ling Tang Gong Hall—showcases our family's long history. The exquisite wood carvings and murals inside the hall reflect our family’s glory and traditions. Beside the ancestral hall stands the Tin Hau Temple, with its red walls and yellow tiles radiating a sacred atmosphere. The ancient bronze bell inside tells of countless pious wishes, as if feeling the divine protection. The surrounding statues of the Earth God and the Goddess of Heaven further immerse me in the rich local beliefs. When I step into other walled villages like Dong Ge and Wing Ning, I can still sense the vigor of their long history. Although many walls are now damaged, I can still imagine the tense scenes of repelling pirates. The altars and other structures make me feel the sincere hopes of my ancestors for wealth and success. As I stroll through this culturally rich land, I can almost feel the footsteps of my ancestors and the vitality of this home. No matter where I go, my roots will always be here—in Lung Yeuk Tau.
