How important is it to maintain individuality?

It is fundamental to maintain individuality. Even if you are part of a team, you should fix yourself some personal goals, because you can't always depend on others. In addition, if you improve yourself, everyone will benefit from it. Nowadays, I think that it is important to think by one's self, and make decisions independently. In China, we receive an education that does not encourage individuality or originality (everyone learns the same things, and everyone must learn the same philosophies), but it is essential to be creative and independent in today's world. You should realize what is good for your own future. Plus, I think it is very nice to have time on your own sometimes. I was raised as an only child, and I enjoy being alone from time to time.

   What kinds of public events are popular where you live?
   

Well, in my city there are a lot of concerts held in theaters or stadiums. In addition, during traditional festivals, it is very common to see parades in the streets, as well as exhibitions and performances unfolding in the city center. We usually have the Dragon Dance for Spring Festival, and it is followed by the Lantern Festival which brightens up the whole city. There is also a very popular road race in my city. People from all over the province come to take part in a 10-kilometer run.
