BBC World Have Your Say Every day, BBC News on TV, radio and online brings you stories from
across the world. But what we want to hear are the stories that matter to you. Have got a story about life in China today? If you do, please put your stories here. I like travelling and I have travelled a lot around China. During the trip, I often find that a number of Chinese don't have good public manners. They always talk loudly on the phone and smoke everywhere. The worst is that they often break the rules in public. For example, when I travelled in Hong Kong in January this year, I saw a kid eating noodles on the subway, which is against the rules. However, the kid's mother didn't think he did wrong. Can you believe it? Let's improve our public manners.( Mike, Shenzhen) I am a 14-year-old boy from a poor village in Fuyang, Anhui Province. Like many other left-behind children(留守儿童) in China, I live with my grandparents now. My father went to work in Shanghai several years ago. Last year, my mother went there to care for him because his health is not as good as before. They tell me to listen to my grandparents and call me about twice a month to ask about my study. I really miss my parents and I hope I can afford to go to school in Shanghai. I think every child needs parents' love and care.(Wu Peigen, Anhui Province) ( )21.What is the topic of BBC World Have Your Say? A．Travel around China. B．Improve our pubic manners.
