The cold season triggers many ailments, and I am often assailed by bouts of colds and coughs. Very often, my Chinese colleagues urge me to see a doctor of traditional Chinese medicine and take herbal medicines as preventives and cures. But somehow, something or another seems to be holding me back from tapping that route.
Until a couple of weeks ago, China Daily had a coffee stand in the lobby. I'm not much of a coffee drinker, but I did sometimes enjoy taking a coffee break in the middle of the afternoon. Often, some colleagues would be waiting in line and we'd have a chance to catch up. The stand was staffed by a personable young lady, Xie Xinshuang, who impressed me because she was always studying when no customer was present.
