Magdy Eissa, 45, achieved the fastest time to visit the New Seven Wonders of the World, completing the journey in 6 days, 11 hours, and 52 minutes, redefining the boundaries of rapid international travel. This was four and a half hours quicker than the previous record, which was set last year by Englishman Jamie McDonald.

Beginning at the Great Wall of China, Magdy visited Taj Mahal in India, Petra in Jordan, Colosseum in Rome, Christ the Redeemer in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Machu Picchu in Peru, and finally the ancient Mayan city Chichén Itzá in Mexico.

The record-breaking trip was no small feat (壮举). It required extensive preparation and precise execution. Magdy spent a year and a half planning his route. "I had to navigate a complex web of flights, trains, buses, subways and walking between transportation centers and the Wonders," Magdy explained. "A single disruption (中断) could derail the entire route and result in a flight back home."

Magdy was fortunate to not suffer any major disruptions to his schedule, but he did have a few close calls. He overslept and missed the daily bus to Petra, forcing him to scramble to find another public bus. And he almost didn't make it to the ancient Mayan city Chichén Itzá, because he nearly missed his flight from Peru to Mexico. Luckily, airline staff reopened the checkin counter after Magdy explained that he was attempting to break a world record.

Magdy's personal highlights of the trip included seeing alpacas (羊驼) in Peru and randomly bumping into an old friend whom he hadn't seen for many years. "Being able to reconnect, even briefly, with a familiar face amidst the whirlwind of the record attempt was a cherished moment," he said.

Having accomplished a childhood dream by visiting the New Seven Wonders of the World, in addition to breaking a world record in the process, Magdy says he feels an "immense sense of personal accomplishment". "It opens minds, broadens perspectives, and allows me to discover new cultures, ideas, and ways of life," he says.

One sunny afternoon, a young girl named Lily skipped through the park, her laughter ringing out like a melody. As she passed Margaret's bench, Lily noticed the sadness on the woman's face. Without hesitation, the little girl approached Margaret and asked, "Why are you so sad?" Surprised by the child's question, Margaret shared her story of loss and loneliness. Lily listened attentively, her young heart filled with compassion. From that moment on, Lily made it her mission to bring joy back into Margaret's life.

Every day after school, Lily would visit Margaret in the park. They would talk, laugh, and share stories of their lives. Margaret began to look forward to these meetings, feeling a renewed sense of purpose and connection. Lily's simple act of kindness had become a lifeline, pulling Margaret out of her despair. Lily learned valuable lessons from Margaret's life experiences as their friendship grew. Lily's youthful enthusiasm and love for life reignited as park within Margaret's heart. Together, they discovered that age was no barrier to friendship and that a helping hand could come from the most unexpected places.

Weeks turned into months, and Margaret's world began to shine brighter. Lily's family embraced Margaret as their own, inviting her to dinners and family gatherings. The once lonely woman now had a loving support system, all thanks to a little girl's compassion.

This inspiring story reminds us that a simple act of kindness can change someone's life. By reaching out to those in need, we can bring light into their darkest days and create meaningful connections that transcend age and circumstances. Lily's compassion and Margaret's resilience demonstrate the power of human connection and the importance of lending a helping hand to those who are struggling.

Be a true runner

For me, it was normal to feel lost at the inter-camp track. Four camps of kids were ready to lead their teams to a blue ribbon and win the day. Not me. I was too little to be the leader and too skinny to be an athlete. I knew this by the time I was twelve, because my camp counselors（辅导员）and the other kids reminded me of it every chance they got. So when our camp needed a fourth runner in the two-mile race around the lake, I knew I was no one's first choice.

I hid in the shade of a maple tree as they called the names of the runners, my body tensed as I heard a counselor call, "Fred! Where is Fred! He is in this race!" It was Barry. He spotted me under the tree. "Fred! We need a 12-year-old who hasn't been in other events to run the two-mile!"

He gave me a push towards the starting line. Having no confidence and trying to save myself from the shame of taking the last place as four camps watched, I pleaded with him.

"But I don't know the way around the lake!"

"You're in. Just follow Bill!" Barry smiled.

Bill was my friend and the fastest runner in our camp. And then Barry said, "When you make it to the last stretch（最后一程）on the field, just throw your head back and run."

At the starting line, I stood next to Bill and trembled.

"On your mark… Get set..." The gun cracked and sixteen of us took off. I stayed close on Bill's heels, a little too close for Bill, I guess. He shouted at me, "Back off!"

I did. Two guys passed me, but I kept my eyes on Bill.

It was tiring. The distance was widening between Bill and me. We made the turn from the dusty road onto the muddy, wooded trail that would go around the lake back to the field. Through the trees, I saw Bill trip over a tree root and fall. A runner from another camp passed him.

In 2004, the International Astronomical Union named a crater on Venus after her, to honor the woman beyond time and space. It was people like Wang Zhenyi did increased our curiosity about the universe.
