1. The River Nile stretches more than 4,000 miles between Lake Victoria and the Mediterranean Sea. Out of all that length, the relatively short ction between Aswan and Luxor in southern Egypt is the most fascinating. Read on for the main temples to visit on the journey down the Nile between Aswan and Luxor.
Philae Temple
This gorgeous Greco-Egyptian temple to the goddess Isis is easily reached by boat from Aswan. It was torn apart and moved to its current island location as part of the UNESCO project to save Nubia’s ancient monuments from the rising waters of Lake Nasr.

Edfu Temple
One of best-prerved temples from ancient times, the Edfu Temple is where the ancients worshiped the god of the sky. Over the centuries, the temple was nearly covered by sand from the nearby dert and inaccessible due to the annual flooding of the Nile, enabling it to be prerved in such an original state.

2. Former truck driver Chen Xianjun played a final chord (和弦) on the guitar as he and his four band-mates — a salesperson, a farmer and two doctors — enjoyed the sunshine of early winter by West Lake in Zhejiang Province.
“Cherish your life,” Chen sang his song’s last line. Behind him was the photo of a foreigne
r wearing a warm smile and hugging his guitar. It was the 27-year-old man, Philip Hancock, an Australian teaching English in Chongqing, who made the warm scene come true.
Hancock died in May 2018 in Chongqing. His parents obeyed Hancock’s wish to donate his organs after death. Hancock’s liver and kidneys saved the lives of three people in the band and his corneas (角膜) made the other two regain the eyesight, including Chen.
“Last year, Red Cross officials advid that the five of us form a band in memory of Hancock. They told me that Hancock dreamed of having his own band one day,” Chen said. He accepted the advice instantly, and so did the other recipients of Hancock’s organs. “I’m more than lucky to be able to show respect for the man who gave me a cond chance at a full life,” he said.
In the past year, the five “musicians” have learned various instruments. They traveled from different parts of Chongqing and Sichuan Province to meet in a studio for lessons. The Band for One, a fitting name for the group, finally gathered by the lakeside in Hangzh
ou on November 7 to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the implementation (实施) of voluntary organ donations in China.
“I was nervous before stepping on the stage, but I think we all played our parts to the best after so many months of preparation and tension,” Chen Xianjun said. “All the recipients now have the ability to carry on with their lives, and I believe that’s exactly what Hancock wanted for us.”
