A Brief Biography of Mr. Tan Kah KeeBIRTH AND FAMILYAn overseas Chinese legend, Mr. Tan Kah Kee's legacies have inspired many in Southeast Asia. From humble immigrant origins, he rose to a prominence which few can match. Best remembered as an eminent entrepreneur, social reformer, political activist, philanthropist, community leader, and educationist, he died at the age of 87 in Beijing on 12 August 1961 and was accorded a national funeral by the Chinese Government for his contribution to society.Born on 21 October 1874 in Fujian, China. At the age of 17, Mr. Tan arrived in Singapore to join his father, Mr. Tan Kee Peck in the family's rice business.Business responsibilities came early as his father's business failed in 1904, leaving him much on his own. With extraordinary fortitude, enterprise and risk-taking ability, he set about establishing a business of his own which began in pineapple canning, then diversified into rice milling. He eventually found the mainstay of his fortune in rubber plantation. The switch from rubber plantation to rubber manufacturing was a move he made boldly, and it established him as one of the most successful Chinese overseas businessmen in the whole of Southeast Asia.By the 1920s, he thus came to preside over a huge business empire which extended into most East and Southeast Asian cities, employed over 10,000 persons. It spanned areas as diverse as rubber plantation and manufacturing, shipping, import and export brokerage, real estate and rice trading.His business success put him in the forefront of the leadership of the Hokkien community from which he originated. He held advanced views about social reform and criticized several outmoded practices then prevalent, such as gambling, opium-smoking and ritual extravagance.An abiding interest that underpinned Mr. Tan Kah Kee's multi-faceted public activities sprang from his firm commitment to educational philanthropy. In 1894, at the age of 21, he established a school in his village in Jimei. In the decades, thereafter, his enthusiasm and passion for educational philanthropy grew, culminating in his endowment of the Xiamen university in 1921.In Singapore Tan Kah Kee's educational endeavours were impressive, imbued by the same missionary zeal and vision that had inspired him to found the Xiamen University. Through his inspiration, five primary and secondary Chinese schools were founded here, chief among them being the Chinese High School. He also generously donated to schools which imparted English education. For instance, he donated $30,000 to Anglo-Chinese School in 1919.THE BUILDING OF ENTERPRISESTan Kah Kee migrated to Singapore at the age of 17. He obtained his working experience as an apprentice in his father, Tan Kee Peck's rice trading company, Soon Ann. Tan proved himself to be an exceptional worker and was promoted to manager of the rice company. Unfortunately, Soon Ann did not do well and eventually failed in 1904. The young Tan Kah Kee resolved to be an entrepreneur to regain the family's fortune.One of his first businesses was a small pineapple canning factory which he managed to start with a small capital of seven thousand Straits dollars. He was rather successful at the business and managed to get additional funds to open another firm. This time, it was a return of his family's old trade. Named Khiam Aik, the rice company was situated at North Boat Quay.Tan's fortune really turned for the better in 1905. It was then he bought a 500-acre undeveloped forested land in Singapore. He started to open up the land, removing the thick foliage and started the Hock Shan Plantation there. Tan Kah Kee was already aware of the growing pineapple industry and that demand outstripped supply. He was determined to get into this business.Tan's pineapple canneries for Southeast Asia had wider implications than just building up his personal fortunes. His industries were seen as the forerunners of an indigenous industrial revolution in Southeast Asia. It showed the rest in the region that industrialization is possible given the commercial impetus to do it.Tan Kah Kee was also aware of the potential that the rubber trade had in 1906. He allocated part of the cleared land to plant rubber saplings. He also had the vision that he would go into rubber manufacturing and wanted to have his own supply of raw rubber. An ambitious man, not only did he want to go into the rubber industry but also he wanted to enter it in a big way. At his peak, Tan Kah Kee had more than 10,000 acres of rubber plantations.Tan's business showed results by 1910. Between the years 1904 and 1910, he obtained a profit of S$730,000 from his businesses. He was subsequently given the nickname 'Henry Ford of Malaya'. By the early 20th century, Tan Kah Kee owned three pineapple canneries, rubber trees and a network of trading firms in Southern China and Hong Kong.CONTRIBUTION TO EDUCATIONMr Tan's energy and drive were refocused on strengthening the still infant Republic of China after the collapse of his business empire. In his view, money should also go into education to the extent that he made a public declaration that with the founding of the Republic of China, he was willing to donate his entire fortune for the promotion of education in China and Singapore.Mr. Tan has a strong belief in the ability of education to enable people for social upliftment. He founded Amoy University (Xiamen University) for this purpose. His dedication to Amoy University is admirable, continuing to maintain and fincance Amoy University even when his business empire was in financial difficulties from 1926 to 1937. At the point of his death, he had donated $20 million to education in Fukien, having financially supported Amoy University for sixteen of its formative years.Besides, Tan's educational grants and donations also covered the entire spectrum of education in the Fukien province of China. He founded the Chi Mei (Jimei) School in 1894, and expanded Chi Mei School into a chain of schools that covered the full spectrum of education.Other than mainstream education, Tan also started specialized institutes that produce graduates in the fields that China was lagging behind. They included business, marine and navigation, Chinese language, agricultural as well as kindergarten teachers' training schools. Altogether, it is estimated that Mr Tan Kah Kee put in no less than ten million dollars for his educational contributions to China's Fukien province.China was not the only beneficiary of Tan's philanthropic quest in education. Many Chinese schools in Singapore, including Tao Nan (1907),Ai Tong (1912), Chung Fook Girls School (1915), Chung Poon (1915), Singapore Chinese High School (1918), Nanyang Normal School (1941) and Nan Chiao Girls High School (1947) were founded by Mr. Tan Kah Kee. After establishing these schools, he did not neglect them. In order to provide them with the institutional support that they needed, Tan created an education Department in the Hokkien Huay Kuan to centralize the control and subsidized the operating costs of the above-stated schools. Mr. Tan did not restrict his generosity to Chinese schools. Some English-speaking institutions that are benefit from Tan's generosity included Anglo Chinese School and Raffles College.Even after his death, Tan Kah Kee remained a symbol of advancement in the field of public education in Singapore.ANTI AGGRESSIONAs Sino-Japanese relations broke down, Mr Tan Kah Kee was increasingly involved in mobilizing the Chinese community against Japanese aggression. He was very active in the Shantung Relief Fund and was later appointed as the chairperson of the China Relief Fund Federation in Southeast Asia and he raised millions of dollars from the overseas Chinese community in Southeast Asia for the benefit of war-torn refugees in China. Under his leadership, the Shantung Relief Fund turned into a Japanese goods boycott movement with its headquarters in Ee Ho Hean Club. Tan also formed the National Salvation Movement, an anti-Japanese group in Malaya and Singapore.After 1936, Tan led the Singapore China Relief Fund and the South Seas China Relief Fund Union, mobilizing Southeast Asian Chinese to contribute financially to the war against Japan. The Singapore China Relief Fund was particularly impressive as it consisted of over 300 branches and mobilized over 300,000 Chinese in Singapore to ensure the widest and deepest reaches into the Chinese community. The fund also contributed to the 400 million Chinese yuan donated by overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia between 1937 and 1942.Tan's ability to mobilize the masses did not escape the British authorities in Singapore. British Governor Sthenton Thomas requested for Tan's leadership in the Singapore Chinese Mobilization Council to assist in the militia and civil defence of the island. In addition to assisting in manpower mobilization, the British authorities also asked Tan for help in selling war bonds to raise money for the war efforts. He was approached to sell $40 million worth of bonds that had been allocated to Malaya. Tan himself bought $100,000 worth of bonds out of patriotism and through his efforts and those of other personalities within Malaya, the Britisheventually sold $15 million worth of bonds, a remarkable sum in view of the harsh times then.Because of Mr Tan Kah Kee's prominent role in anti-Japanese war, when the Japanese troops occupied Singapore, he had to escape to Java where he sought sanctuary for the duration of World War II. He lived quietly in Indonesia throughout the Japanese Occupation of Singapore, starting from 1943. It was during this phase of his life that he started writing his memoirs that was published later on in the postwar years as the "Memoirs of the Nanyang".TAN KAH KEE SPIRIT INHERITANCEMr. Tan died on 12 August 1961 in Peking (Beijing) at the age of 87 and was given a national funeral by the government of the People's Republic of China. Even at his death, Tan was still fervent about his public education cause. He willed all his money (1million renminbi) to be given to the schools in his hometown.Tan left behind Jiageng Park, a national monument in China that was formerly a little island on the southeast seaside of Jimei.On 11 March 1990, the International Asteroid Centre of China named Asteroid 2963, discovered by Zi Jin Shan Observatory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, after Tan Kah Kee to commend his remarkable contributions to educational causes. The naming ceremony of the "Tan Kah Kee Star" was held at Xiamen University.Other than monuments and the "Tan Kah Kee Star", he has such a high status amongst overseas Chinese that some of the world's most prominent Chinese got together in Hong Kong in 1992 and established the Tan Kah Kee International Society. The society aims to promote the advancement of science and culture for the benefit of human Society.Just as he is remembered in China through national monuments, Mr. Tan Kah Kee is remembered in Singapore through his donations, foundations and scholarships. The Chinese High School, specially erected a bronze statue of its founder, Tan Kah Kee, in front of the clock tower for remembrance. His generosity continues to benefit future generations of Singaporeans. Mr Tan's Young Inventors' Award continues to fund budding scientists as well as inventors in Singapore, playing a role in spurring the scientific community as well as Singapore's research and development capabilities.Other than Asia, Mr. Tan Kah Kee's name can also be found in the United Sates. On 28 April 1993, Professor Lee Yuan Tseh and Professor TienChang-Lin recommended and fought for a building named "Tan Kah Kee Hall" to be built in the School of Chemistry at University of California, Berkeley. The completion of the Tan Kah Kee Hall signified that Tan Kah Kee's noble spirit and philosophy had been introduced to the West, expanding further and rooted in different parts of the world.出生与家庭陈嘉庚先生祖籍福建省同安县集美村，生于 1874年10月 21日。

陈嘉庚Chen Jiageng＇s biographyPatriot Chen Jiageng爱国者陈嘉庚陈嘉庚先生在抗战期间发动南洋华人华侨积极捐款，并劝说国民党与共产党联手抗日。

在参观了重庆、延安等地后，他更坚定地认为共产党才是中国的希望。

▲ Chen Jiageng （C）in ChongqingChen Jiageng became the leader of the overseas Chinese community in Singapore in 1932. A year after the outbreak of hostilities with Japan in 1938, he helped to organize the Federation of China Relief Funds of Southern Asia, of which he was elected chairman. He raised a substantial sum for China’s war effort.Chen Jiageng worked to persuade the K uomintang and the Communist party to join hands in the fight against Japan. On October 28, 1938, he sent a cable to the National Political Council in which he argued against the capitulationist group headed by Wang Jingwei (then the chairman of NPC) and ca utioned that “making peace [with Japan] before the enemy has been driven from our soil is treason.” Noted political commentator Zou T aofen spoke of the message as one of “the greatest motions ever known in China.”In 1940, Chen Jiageng personally headed a comfort mission to China, visiting Chongqing, Y an’an and other places. He became convinced that Yan’an was the future of the Chinese nation and his political alliance began to shift from the KMT government to the communists.He spent his later years participating in the reconstruction and governance of China. He returned to China to particpate in the People’s Political Consultative Conference at the invitation of Mao Zedong. He settled down in his hometown of Jimei in 1950.He continued to develop China’s rubber industry, reconstruct Fujian and rebuild and expand Xiamen University. Chen Jiageng passed away on August 12, 1961, at the age of 88. He was accorded a state funeralA Double Portion of Tan’s SpiritInnovative education is of course nothing new at XMU. Our university has been pioneering all elements of modern education ever since it was founded in 1921 by the “Henry Ford of Asia,” Mr. Tan Kah Kee. This famous Overseas Chinese patriot gave an estimated USD 100 million to educa-tion, thanks his business acumen and frugal lifestyle. But Mr. Tan left us much more than mere money.As I teach in Organizational Behavior, organizations’ personalities often reflect those of their founders, and XMU is certainly no exception. XMU’s 85 years of success show it has inherited a double portion of Mr. Tan’s spirit and vision for a better China, a better Asia, and a better humanity.Our university’s founder, Mr. Tan Kah Kee (Chen Jiageng, 1874-1961), gave an estimated 100 million USD to education over his lifetime but he was born into a humble family of merchants in the village of Jimei, on the mainland across from Xiamen Island. Tan worked the fields and the fishnets until he started school at the age of nine, and in the fall of 1890 he moved to Sin gapore to help in his father’s rice shop. His father’s business went under in 1904, but the savvy son pulled together enough capital to buy 500 acres of forested land in Singapore and started a pineapple plantation.Back to topThe Rubber Magnate Tan rapidly expanded into rice milling, manu-facturing, sawmills, real estate, and ocean transport, but it was rubber that really stretched his fortune. He set aside a few acres of his pineappleplanta-tion and eventually had 10,000 acres of rubber trees. His expansion from rubber planting to rubber manufacturing helped create the rubberindustry and made him one of the four great Rubber Barons.By the mid 1920s, the Rubber Magnate’s Singapore-based empire em-ployed over 30,000 people, had 150 offices on 5 continents, and did business with 48 countries.But prices plummeted after 1926 and rubber never quite bounced back. Even worse, after Mr. Tan protested Japan’s brutal “Jinan Massacre” (May 3rd, 1928), his factory was burned to the ground. Yet even as he struggledthrough the Great Depression he continued to finance Jimei School, Xiamen University, and Chinese and English schools in Singapore—a feat he managed in part because of his frugality.The Frugal Philanthropist Rich philanthropists generally give but a fraction of their wealth while alive, but leave behind large foundations since the only thing they can take with them when they die is their reputation. But Mr. Tan quite literally gave like a prince while living like a pauper, subsisting on little more than rice porridge and potatoes, and using the same umbrella and battered suitcases for decades. Other rich Chinese of his day built luxurious villas on nearby Gulangyu Islet, but Mr. Tan contented himself with a sim-pler home in his native Jimei. As he wrote to a relative, his hometown still had great needs and “I cannot put myself before the community.”The Japanese destroyed Tan’s home in 1938, and when the Chinese government offered to rebuilt it after Liberation, Tan insisted that war-damaged school buildings be rebuilt first. His home was finally renovated in 1955 and he lived there from 1958 until 1960, when he moved to Beijing. Tan’s house was restored to its original design in 1980 and is now a museum and meeting place for the Jimei School Committee. I think the most moving exhibits are the battered suitcases, umbrellas and worn-out shoes that the “pauper millionaire” used for decades.Mr. Tan’s Vision fo r China Mr. Tan was a social and political reformer from youth. He supported Sun Yat-sen, and at one point accounted for about 1/3 of the Kuomintang’s finances (a feat he no doubt regretted when Chiang Kai Shek absconded to Taiwan with his money and everyo ne else’s). But Tan’s greatest hope for China was in modern education.In 1894, at age 21, Tan began a family school in Jimei. In 1912, during the first year of the new Republic of China, Tan returned to China and on January 27, 1913 opened the Jimei Primary School. Between 1920 and 1926 he opened a school a year until Jimei School Village had 11 schools, includ-ing a middle school and schools in agriculture, commerce, forestry, navigation, etc. In addition, Jimei School Village’s education pro motion department donated to more than 70 middle schools and primary schools throughout Fujian province.Supporting Education Abroad Tan also began or funded at least seven schools in Singapore, including Tao Nan (1907), Ai Tong (1912), Chung Fook Girls School (1915), Chung Poon (1915), the Singapore Chi-nese High School (1918), Nanyang Normal School (1941) and Nan Chaio Girls High School (1947). . His largesse was not limited to Chinese schools. He gave $30,000 to the Anglo-Chinese School in 1919 and in 1941 gave $10,000 to Raffles College, which later merged with the Medical College and eventually became the University of Singapore.Xiamen University—Apple of Tan’s Eye In early November, 1920, Mr. Tan offered one million Yuan to start Xiamen University, which began with the Normal and Commerce Departments, and later expanded to five Colleges and 17 departments in Literature, Science, Law, Commerce and Education. Xiamen University captured the imagination of Chinese and foreigners alike. In the 1920s, Paul Hutchinson wrote,“This school [Xiamen University] is entirely a Chinese institution, with no foreign teachers and no foreign connections, and right out in a small Chines e village. The course of study is being made very practical… When we think of the future days, it is one of the most encouraging things to be seen in the whole of China.”Mr. Tan emphasized quality education. He sent students abroad, hired teachers from other areas, purchased the latest equipment, and emphasized sports. By the spring of 1937, his financial fortunes had so suffered that he allowed the government to take over Xiamen University, but he continued to subsidize it. Tan wrote to the minister of education that he had had “a fine start and a poor finish,” and would “live in perpetual regret.” [If only he could see XMU today!]Back to topXMU Retreats to Changting That same year, Xiamen University relocated to Changting in West Fujian to escape destruction by the Japanese, who had occupied Xiamen. [Read more in the next chapter, “Sa Bendong”]. The Japanese surrendered in August, 1945, and on October 21, 500 mass organizat ions in Singapore welcomed Tan’s return from a decade of exile in Java. A large meeting in Chongqing on November 18, 1945, celebrated Mr. Tan’s safety, and Chairman Mao inscribed a scroll about Tan which read, “Banner of Overseas Chinese, Glory of the Nation.”XMU returned to Xiamen after Japan’s defeat and the new president and eminent biologist, Dr. Wang Deyao, immediately set out rebuilding and ex-panding the campus. Tan’s vision and money and Wang’s leadership paid off. XMU was designated a key national university in 1962 and has been mushrooming ever since.On October 1, 1949, Chairman Mao invited Mr. Tan to Tiananmen to participate in the ceremony of the founding of the People’s Republic of China. Tan settled down in his homeland in 1950 and devoted the rest of his life and fortune to its reconstruction.Back to topTan’s Final Years During his last years Mr. Tan served in many posts, including Chairman of Returning Overseas Chinese League, Member of the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress, and Vice-Chairman of the CPPCC. He was also responsible for innovations like China’s first sea-spanning bridge (the award-winning Xiamen-Jimei bridge), the Jimei Dragon Boat Pool, which has hosted numerous domestic and international aquatic events, and Jimei’s 15 storey Nanyuan Building, which has a navigational light on the roof to guide fishermen safely home.Mr. Tan died of cancer in 1961, and after a State Funeral in Beijing, a special train transported his body to his hometown of Jimei. Tan left behind three million Yuan in banks, but the man who gave like a prince and lived like a pauper evidently expected his descendants to do the same—or make their own fortune. He left no money to his family, but gave half a million to Jimei School Foundation, half a million to constructBeijing’s Overseas Chinese Museum, and over two million Yuan for education.Tan’s International Legacy Altogether, Mr. Tan gave an estimated 100 million USD towards education, both in China and abroad, and the Tan Kah Kee Foundation has been awarding a Postgraduate Scholarship since 1983. In 1986, Nobel Prize Laureate Prof. C.N. Yang set up the Tan Kah Kee Inventors’ Awa rd, and in 1992, Prof Yang and two other Nobel Prize Laureates, Prof Samuel C.C. Ting and Prof Li Yuan Tseh, together with Prof Changlin Tien, former Vice-chancellor of the University of California at Berkeley, and Prof Wang Gungwu, former President of Hong Kong University, set up the Tan Kah Kee International Society Foundation to the advancement of education and culture in the spirit of Tan Kah Kee.In 1991, Singapore’s president, Dr. Wee Kim Wee, launched the University Endowment Fund in honor of Mr. Tan, and set a goal of raising 1$ billionfor education. On 11 March, 1990, the International Asteroid Center of China named Asteroid 2963 “Tan Kah Kee Star.” The naming ceremony was held at Xiamen University.Lastly, the School of Chemistry in my home state’s University of California, Berkeley, has a “Tan Kah Kee Hall.” I hope more and more foreigners and Chinese alike will come to understand, and emulate, Tan Kah Kee’s spirit of sacrificial giving.“A good traveler is one who does not know where he is goin g to, and a perfect traveler does not know where he came from.” Lin Yutang。

介绍自己喜欢并且崇拜的历史人物英语作文Title: An Introduction to a Historical Figure I Admire and RespectIntroduction:Throughout history, there have been countless individuals who have left a lasting impact on the world through their actions, beliefs, and achievements. One such historical figure that I greatly admire and respect is Mahatma Gandhi. Gandhi was a prominent leader in the Indian independence movement and a pioneer of the philosophy of nonviolent resistance. His dedication to social justice, civil rights, and peaceful protest has inspired people around the world for generations.Early Life and Education:Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi was born on October 2, 1869, in Porbandar, India. He was the youngest of three children in a devout Hindu family. Gandhi's parents instilled in him the values of compassion, honesty, and discipline from a young age. He went on to study law in London, where he was exposed to Western culture and politics for the first time.

介绍你敬佩的己故名人英语作文40个单词Title: A Tribute to the Greatness of Sir Isaac NewtonIn the vast expanse of human history, there are few figures who have left an indelible mark on the world as Sir Isaac Newton did. His life, a tapestry woven with threads of brilliance and curiosity, continues to inspire generations even after his passing. This essay is a humble attempt to pay homage to the man whose intellectual legacy has shaped the modern world.Born in 1642 in Woolsthorpe, England, Newton's early life was unremarkable, yet it was the quiet before the storm of his groundbreaking contributions. His humble beginnings did not deter him from pursuing knowledge with an insatiable thirst. His journey from a farmer's son to a giant in the field of science is a testament to his relentless pursuit of understanding the universe.Newton's work in mathematics, particularly the development of calculus, revolutionized the way we approach problem-solving. His method of fluxions, as he called it, allowed for the analysis of change and motion in a way that was previously unimaginable. This mathematical tool has since become an essential component in fields ranging from physics to economics, a true testament to the universality of his genius.However, it is perhaps his work in physics for which Newton is most renowned. His three laws of motion and the law of universal gravitation laid the groundwork for classical mechanics. These principles not only explained the motion of celestial bodies but also the simple act of an apple falling from a tree. The simplicity and elegance of his laws have stood the test of time, guiding the hands of scientists and engineers alike.Newton's contributions to the field of optics were equally transformative. His work with prisms and the discovery that white light is composed of a spectrum of colors challenged the prevailing theories of light and color. His invention of thereflecting telescope further demonstrated his innovative spirit, providing a more powerful tool for observing the cosmos.Despite his monumental achievements, Newton was not without his flaws. His personal life was marked by periods of intense rivalry and controversy, most notably with German mathematician and philosopher Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz over the invention of calculus. Yet, these human elements only serve to remind us that even the greatest among us are still human, capable of both brilliance and imperfection.In his later years, Newton held the prestigious position of the Master of the Mint, a role that showcased his administrative acumen alongside his scientific prowess. His life was a continuous pursuit of knowledge, a journey that took him from the depths of mathematical theory to the heights of administrative leadership.Sir Isaac Newton passed away in 1727, but his legacy endures. His work has been a beacon for those who seek to understand the world around them, a reminder that the pursuit of knowledge is a noble endeavor. His life serves as aninspiration to dream big, to question the known, and to strive for a deeper understanding of the universe.In conclusion, Sir Isaac Newton was more than a scientist; he was a pioneer, a visionary, and a symbol of the human capacity for discovery. His life and work stand as a monument to the power of the human mind and the importance of curiosity. As we continue to explore the cosmos and delve into the mysteries of the universe, we do so standing on the shoulders of giants like Newton.Source: This essay is a creative work inspired by the historical figure of Sir Isaac Newton and his contributions to science, mathematics, and optics. It doesnot cite specific sources but is based on widely known information about his life and work.。

最令我敬佩的人西南联大英语作文The Person I Admire MostThere are lots of people in the world that I think are really cool and admire. Famous athletes, singers, YouTubers, and even some cartoon characters! But the person I admire the most is my grandpa. He's not famous or anything, but he's the most amazing person I know.My grandpa's name is George and he's 72 years old. He has white hair and glasses and is kind of short, but he's the toughest, funniest, and smartest grandpa ever. I admire him for so many reasons!First of all, my grandpa is the bravest person I know. When he was just 18 years old, he joined the army and went to fight in a big war. Can you imagine being that young and having to go to war? I would be so scared! But my grandpa was really brave. He told me he was scared too at first, but he knew it was the right thing to do to protect our country. While he was in the army, he got injured really badly and was in the hospital for a long time. But he never gave up and finally got better. I'm so proud that my grandpa was that brave when he was my age!Even after the war, my grandpa has stayed brave his whole life. A few years ago, he got really sick with cancer. My mom told me he might die. I remember crying so much because I love my grandpa so much and didn't want him to go away forever. But my grandpa is the bravest! He had lots of surgeries and treatments that made him feel terrible. But he kept being positive and never complained. Finally, his cancer went away and now he is healthy again! Whenever I'm scared about something, I think about how brave my grandpa is and it makes me feel braver too.Another reason I admire my grandpa so much is because he is hilarious! He always knows how to make me and my brother and sister laugh with his silly jokes and funny voices. Once, he put a mustard stain on his shirt to look like a tie! It was so dumb but we all laughed so hard. My grandpa makes every family gathering or holiday so much fun. Even when he doesn't tell jokes, he just has a great sense of humor about everything. Like when he got a flat tire once, instead of getting mad he just said "Oh well, I needed new tires soon anyway!" and laughed about it.I want to be someone who can laugh things off like that when I grow up.Finally, I really admire how smart and wise my grandpa is. He didn't get to go to college when he was young because of the war. But he has read so many books over his life and learned so much on his own. My grandpa knows absolutely everything! About history, science, how things work, you name it. Whenever I have a question about anything, I ask my grandpa and he always has a really good answer that helps me understand. He also gives great advice. Like when I was nervous to start at a new school, my grandpa told me "Being brave doesn't mean you aren't scared. It means you don't let being scared stop you from doing what you want to do." That was just what I needed to hear to help me feel less afraid.My grandpa has lived through so much in his 72 years - a war, cancer, hard times, good times, and everything in between. But he has stayed brave, kept his great sense of humor, and become one of the wisest people I know. He is an amazing role model and I admire him more than anyone else in the world. I hope that when I grow up, I can be as brave, funny, smart and wise as my grandpa!。
