    When I tidied up(整理)some old boxes under my bed, I found an old letter for me from my best friend. Her name was Minnie.

    The twelve-year-old letter made me remember the time that Minnie and I spent together. We often wrote to each other during that time.

    What does Beijing's Palace Museum look like at night? Many people don't know the answer to this question, as it closes at around 4:30p. m in winter and 5:00p. m in summer. However, to celebrate the Lantern Festival, Beijing's Palace Museum opened its door to the public after dark—for two nights only.

"said Shan Jixiong, the head of the Palace Museum. On the night of February19th,2019, about 3,000 visitors spent the Lantern Festival in the Palace Museum.
