Fight with flood
Dayu (大禹)was a leader of a tribe(部落). He was kind and friendly to everyone. One day, a flood came and broke a dam(大坝)。 Dayu went to fight the flood. Different from his father, Dayu didn’t build new dams. He widened the river courses(加宽河道). He also built new river courses. In this way, more water could go through and flow into the sea. There was no more flood problem. This is not easy work at all. It took 13 years and 20000 workers to do it. Dayu worked very hard every day. During the years, Dayu passed by his house three times. But he never went inside. He didn’t want his family to take his time and mind(心思)away from the work. Dayu then became the hero of people. He also helped homeless people build new houses. People admired(敬仰)Dayu very much and made him the new king. After that, Dayu built Xia. It was the first dynasty(朝代) in Chinese history.

Thomas Edison was an American inventor. When he was 7 years old, his mother had anappendectomy(阑尾切除手术). But it was too dark. So Edison put mirrors(镜子)near oil lamps (油灯) to light up the room
The story is in a Chinese textbook for primary school students by People’s Education Press(人民教育出版社). Perhaps many of you have read it before. But the publisher (出版社) recently said itwill cut out this story. That’s because many people think it’s not true. Many believe that the world’s first appendectomy was in 1886. But when Edison was 7, it was 1854.
The publisher also said it will not use some other stories. For example, there’s a story about the first US President George Washington. The story says young Washington cut down a cherry (樱桃) tree in the yard of his house. But in fact, there was no cherry tree in the area at that time
So what’s the problem? Experts (专家) say that some editors (编辑) care too much about the educational meaning of stories, without checking if the story is true first.
The publisher says, in the future, they will pay greater attention to the truth of the stories in the textbook. “We will invite experts to check our stories,” it said in a statement.
