Everyone needs friends. There is an old saying: Friends are God’s way of taking care of us. But how do you find real friendship and keep it?

“The Care and Keeping of Friends” by American author Sally Seamans tells young students some smart ways to find friends.

Sally says finding friendship is just like planting a tree. You plant the seed and take care of it to make it grow.

First, you should choose a friend. What makes a good friend? It is not because a person has money or good looks. A good friend should be kind and patient. For example, if you have a bad day, a good friend should listen to your complaints(抱怨) and do their best to help. To make a friend, you cannot be too shy. You should make each other happy and share your lives.

But things cannot always be happy. Even the best friends have fights. What should you do when you have a fight with your friend? You have to talk to them. When there is no one around, have an honest talk. If he or she doesn’t want to talk, you could write a letter.

Sally says there are three steps to being friends again: Tell him or her how you are feeling; say what your friend has done wrong, and explain why you did this or that. The book also has advice on some small but important things like celebrating your friends’ success. Even if you haven’t had a real friend before, you will start to think of having one if you read this book. Because the book tells that friendship is the most important thing in your life.

Tofu history in China — Tofu is very popular in the East today but tofu was first eaten in China over 2,000 years ago. An ancient Chinese painting on a stone shows that soymilk (豆浆) and tofu were being made in China during 25~220. The oldest written material of tofu also appeared in China in about 1500, in a poem Ode to Tofu by Su Ping.

Tofu history in Japan — Kento priests (教士), who went to China, brought tofu back to Japan during the Nara era (710-794). The word “tofu” was first mentioned in Japan in the diary of a priest called Nakaomi. In 1489, the word “tofu” was first written in the actual Japanese characters. Tofu gradually became popular in Japan. The cooking book Tofu Hyakuchin came out in 1782 and sold very well.

Tofu history in Western world — In 1603, a Spanish dictionary was the first European document with the word “tofu”. Domingo Fernandez de Navarrete described in his book A Collection of Voyages and Travles how tofu was made. The first English reference (参考资料) to tofu was in 1704, when Navarrete’s book came out in English. Tofu was first produced in France by Paillieux in 1880. Hirata & Co started to make tofu in San Francisco in 1895.
