Su Xing

　　EVERYONE has their own way to help the people in the quake-hit area. Pop star Allen Su, 24, has done more than just donate money.

　　He has made a song called We"re together （《我们在一起》） to cheer up the earthquake victims. I hope my singing will give them the confidence to stay alive and rebuild their homes, he said.

　　He is taking part in charity events to raise money for the Sichuan people. He said that his attitude to life has changed. Peace in the world seems much more important to me now.

　　We tolerate （包容） the terrible things nature does to us, yet we pick on other people"s smallest faults.

　　Everybody talks about the 8.5 point score Su got in his ELTS （雅思） exam. But he doesn"t like to speak of it. High test scores don"t mean anything, he told Teens. The important thing is to be able to put your talents to good use.

　　He spent seven years studying in Australia. He said the experience of finding yourself in a strange place, and of having to speak in a foreign language, was educational. I had no choice but to speak English, he said. But the effect was that my language skills really

　　improved.

　　Su has always gone after what he wants. Now he hopes he can encourage the earthquake victims to face the future bravely. Young people are just at the beginning of life"s journey, he said. They have the time and strength to put the past behind them and make something of their lives.
