Small Potatoes,Tales of the Oft Forgotten

引用

An article called “2007 Moving China, top 10 impressive small potatoes” was posted on a forum on rednet.cn, listing 10 touching stories of ordinary people. The story caught netizens’ attention and admiration.

While CCTV, the government television channel awards winners handpicked by a carefully chosen group of dignitaries with a program called "2007 Moving China", this list of ordinary folk was created after a round of voting online.

"Compared to the models chosen by the media, these common people impress us even more," said one netizen on a posting.

Some of those listed didn’t make great achievements. Some showed bravery, while others resisted the temptation of money, and still others followed their hearts and did well in their careers.

These "small potatoes" move China. Though they are small in size, weak in power, sometimes even struggling for life, the online list of people moved the public because of these people’s high moralities and consistent kindness.
