—Yes. Many middle school students are his fans.

    This is Red Star Town. My grandfather has lived here all his life. He 1 my grandmother here and they got married. Red Star Town was called Taping Town before. The government started 2 the wooden houses in this area when the Red Star Town underground station was built. 3 June 2000, Taping Town has become a history.

    My grandfather missed many things about Taping Town. 4 in the small town knew him well. They all liked him because he used to be a good 5 in a hospital. Now he is old and stays at home. In the past, there were 6 stone and wooden houses around here. Also, there were many big trees. Now new 7 are here and there. The streets are wide and clean. There are all kinds of shops and you can buy anything 8.

    My grandfather is happy that life has improved so much, 9 he still feels lonely because he really misses everything in the past. Many of his friends moved away because the government let them 10 in new apartments in new towns. The old town is still beautiful in his heart though it has disappeared(消失).

    Near the village, there is an old famous temple. Some people want to build new houses where the temple now stands, because they can find no other area to build them, while others disagree with them. They meet to decide how to solve the problem. Here are their opinions about it.

    The expert(专家) wants to protect the temple and believes that there are some interesting things buried(埋) in the ground. If it is destroyed or moved, people may never learn about how people lived in the past. The businessman thinks that the houses should be built. History is important, but we must think about the future. The village needs development and building new houses will offer jobs to hundreds of people.

    Villager A says, "We should build the new houses because we need houses to live in." Villager B says, "We should protect the temple because it can attract many tourists to come for a visit: If the temple is destroyed or moved, we will lose a lot of business."

    The village leader thinks that he has a duty to make life better for the villagers. They need jobs and new houses. He also thinks the cultural site(遗迹) is important and they should be careful with it as well.
