Wenzhou Economic Daily August 28, 2007 Today's lead headline announces many big changes new high school textbooks students in Zhejiang Province. The most remarkable difference affects sophomore students, who have been assigned more than 30 textbooks in one term. "This is where textbooks are headed," said an Education Committee officer. "Some subjects are compulsory, some are elective. So, although it may seem that there are too many books, each book is actually thiner than before." The front page picture shows the fire raging around the ancient Olympics site in Greece. According to the article, the pristine forest around ancient Olympia was burned, but none of the ancient ruins were damaged The headline below the photo says that a railway worker rescued two children from the path of an oncoming train. The right side headlines concern a snack food pyramid, a complaint by popular actress Fan Bingbing that audiences are too critical, and a new explication of the classic Chinese novel Outlaws of the Marsh that claims 43 of the characters are not heroes.
