My grandmother, Yolanda, has always been an important person in my life. Yolanda is 82 years old and is still very active. I interviewed my grandmother because she has lived a long and happy life. She said, “Being with my friends and family makes me happy.” She thinks that the key to a happy life is spending time with people you care about.
Her happiest memory is a simple one about an afternoon she spent with her mother. “When I was young, my mother prepared a picnic lunch, and we ate outside in our garden. The sun was shining and there were no clouds in the sky. I remembered feeling happy, peaceful and safe. Maybe that is why working in my garden makes me so happy today.”
My grandmother has taught me that our happiest moments are not always the biggest or the most important events in life. Sometimes our happiest moments are the quiet days we spend with loved ones, laughing with friends, or doing an activity we enjoy. I think the key to happiness is valuing what you have.

Last Saturday, I made a trip to Yangshuo—an old town in the southeast of Guilin.
After getting to Yangshuo by bus, I first went to the famous place—Butterfly Spring(蝴蝶泉). Butterfly Spring is the best travelling place in Moon Hill Scenic Area. It is named after a butterfly-like stalactite(钟乳石) in the beautiful park. At the entrance of the park is a large butterfly model. It looks very beautiful. He Jingzhi, a famous poet in China, visited here and was very surprised to see such a large beautiful butterfly model so he wrote “the No.1 Butterfly in the world” to praise it.
At lunchtime, I went to a small restaurant. It had friendly and quick service. I ordered two dishes. They were really delicious. But they were a little expensive.
Then I went to the famous street—the West Street. The West Street is an old street in the centre of Yangshuo County with a history of more than 1,400 years. There is a saying about the West Street—One half is the village while the other half is stores.
It was a wonderful day. Just at that time, I understood the saying “Guilin's mountains and waters rank(排名) first in China and Yangshuo's are the best in Guilin.”
