Look at these boys. Each of them holds a stick (棍子), and wears a tiny moustache (胡子) and a pair of
glasses. They cover their heads and bodies with white cloth. They look just like Mohandas Gandhi, one of the
greatest leaders in India.
It was Gandhi's 140th birthday. The boys dressed like Gandhi to celebrate it.
Gandhi was born in 1869. At that time, India was under British rule (统治). The British did not treat (对待)
the Indians fairly. Gandhi wanted to change the society. In 1920, he came up with his famous idea of
non-violent protest (非暴力抗议). He asked people not to buy British goods (货物). In 1947, he helped India
win its independence (独立).
