Many people asked me how I started Pajama (睡衣) Program, but in fact, it seemed that Pajama Program came to me. I never planned to start it. In the beginning, I just wanted to find my purpose (意义) in life.I visited a children’s home. I read to them in the evening once a week. One night I watched them go to sleep. There was no changing clothes, no bedtime stories, no hugs (拥抱) from parents. Bedtime should not be like that. I decided to send some pajama s to the children’s home. I couldn’t change the children’s life, but I could give them warm, clean pajamas to sleep in.The next week I took some pa jamas to the children’s home. One little girl didn’t takethe pajamas from me. She asked me quietly, “What are these?”“They’re pajamas,” I said.“When do I wear them?”“When you go to bed at night.”She still didn’t understand.“What do you usually wear to bed?” I asked her.“My pants,” she said.I felt sad. A few weeks later, it seemed that a “raindrop” (雨滴) fell onto my head and the words PAJAMA PROGRAM spoke to me loud. Then I started to tell everyone to give me new pajamas for my birthday, Christmas ..., and I gave them to children in need. And then I found my purpose in life.( )31.

In many ways, they are very different. But what are the differences?Hu Peng of Wuhan and four friends decided to find them out. Earlier this month, they livedfor a week in Caidian, a village near Wuhan. Hu and his friends went door to door in Caidian and asked the kids there lots of questions. They wanted to learn more about village kids’ everyday lives, so they asked these questions like —Do your parents teach you how to do housework? How much money do you usually spend on dinner? What would you do if a thief (小偷) came into your house? They also asked 150 city kids the same questions.What’s the Difference?Last week the team gave a report to their class. There are lots of differences between children’s lives in cities and those in villages. The biggest difference is independence. Hu’s team said that 60 percent of city kids couldn’t do much housework, but 90 percent of village kids could care for themselves.City kids told Hu they cared about school a lot, and they had no time for washing clothes or making their beds. Village kids said they helped their parents with housework a lot. They cooked, did some cleaning and fed animals. Hu’s team also found that village kids had less pocket money (零花钱). Many never used computers. They played in rivers or on mountains. Some didn’t really like to make new friends.Hu and his friends said their trip gave them more self-confidence (自信) because they were doing something by themselves. But it also made them a little worried because they saw they still had a lot to learn. “When we grow up, our parents can’t take car e of us,” said Hu. “We have to learn to take care of ourselves.” Shen Guanquan, one of Hu’s friends, said, “When children learn to care for themselves, they learn to do lots of things.”( )41.
