My name is Lu Deng. I was born in a big village in the southwest of Shandong Province in 2000. In front of the village, there was a small river with many fish in it. In summer, I often went to catch fish in the river. Around the village, there were many tall trees. I liked reading books under them.
When I was young, there were a lot of children in the village and many of them were my good friends. Li Ming was my best friend. He was kind to everyone. So we liked him very much. But his brother, Li Fei, was very strange, and we didn't like him. My first Chinese teacher was Miss Wang. I was good at Chinese and I often asked her questions. My first maths teacher was Mr Li. He was strict, but I liked him.
