Topic1 PKU Students Involved In ManagementRecently, Peking University released new management rules, giving students opportunities to participate in school management committees and discuss about all kinds of school affairs with the university leaders.

Is it a positive step forward?

Topic2 Freeing Venomous SnakesRecently, a woman is accused of freeing venomous snakes into a Guangdong Province park as part of a Buddhist practice to create good karma.

Later the police find that the snakes are actually released in a mountain in the suburban area of Yingde city, instead of a downtown park. However, does this make the woman's act right?

Topic3 City invests 5m building bridges for migrating macaquesTwo bridges are being built in order to create a path for rhesus monkeys to migrate over a reservoir in Henan Province that has cut their habitat in half. The report said it was the first time in China's history that bridges were being built for the sole purpose of providing a migration path for a wild animal.

Topic4 China Needs A Brain Death LawOrgan donation is not an easy decision to make for many Chinese, not to mention letting the procedure go forward when a person's heart is still beating. So when the family of a young man who had been pronounced brain dead as a result of a terminal braintumor decided to donate his heart earlier this year, the generous move received wide attention.

But it also triggered debate over the legitimacy of the operation, as brain death is still not a legally recognized concept in China.

Why was there controversy?

Topic5 The survival crisis of Chinese time-honored brandsIn Beijing, the Xicheng District government has set up a special fund to protect and develop time-honored Chinese brands, with a yearly investment of 20 million yuan.

Should we care?

Should we be concerned?
