We should build a museum of Chinese food culture in Beijing. It can comprehensively show the rich culture of Chinese food, including its appearance, smell, taste and touch. It should demonstrate the history of our food culture and include the elements of all 56 ethnic¹ groups. It might also help hot pot to be recognized as a world heritage item.

我们应该在北京兴建一个中华饮食文化博物馆，充分调动起海内外参观者的视觉、嗅觉、味觉和触觉，全方位展现中华饮食文化的博大精妙。这样的博物馆应该展现我国饮食文化的历史，包含56个民族的特色，没准能让火锅成为世界遗产。

Drug-using celebrities² should stop working for a while. They should attend drug rehabilitation³ programs before appearing again on the screen and set an example of redemption for society. Of course, they still deserve to earn a living.

我觉得可以让这些犯错的名人一段时间不演出。他们应该真正有效地戒毒，用自己的实际行动给社会以正能量的宣传。当然，也要给他们一口饭吃。

That all of society is money-oriented was well-evidenced by the fact that everyone was snatching e-hongbao, or electronic lucky money, during the Spring Festival gala. The Spring Festival should be an occasion for family reunions and the exchange of best wishes, but it is distorted by the hongbao. It makes everyone long for a free pie to fall from the sky.

目前整个社会较浮躁，太多人都想发财，最浮躁的时候莫过于春晚抢红包。因为春节是团聚，是享受亲情，对新的一年充满希望的时候，如果都在抢红包的话，那么把它扭曲了，变成大家都盼着天上掉馅饼。

Newsstands could be built as Wi-Fi spots with electronic signboards showing all kinds of cultural information. As such, people in the city could find cultural services everywhere.

报刊亭也可以成为WiFi站点。通过电子显示屏显示各类文化演出信息。人们随时随地可以享受文化服务。

The March of the Volunteers is our national anthem⁴ but it is not well respected in daily life. A national anthem law is urgently needed.

《义勇军进行曲》是我们的国歌，但是在日常生活中并没有得到尊重，急需出台国歌法。

My friend's company went out of business after he was taken away by the discipline inspection⁵ authority for investigation⁶, because he was not allowed to sign any documents and contracts for the business and could not pay the bank when the loan was due. I hope the authority could make it clear what suspects can and cannot do after they are taken away for inquiry⁷, otherwise many companies will suffer great losses.

我有朋友被纪委带走后，所有公司材料送不进去，合同不让签，银行贷款到期也没法签，企业就死掉了。企业家出事后，毕竟还只是嫌疑人，公司怎么办，应有明确立法。
