Five Minutes of Eye Exercises, Twice a Day — Epoche A1
10 May Rain again. At 9:50 the music came on the loudspeaker, so everybody stopped writing. Eye exercises. Close your eyes. Two fingers on the small hollow beside the nose, and press while the voice counts in eights. Then under the eyes. Then the sides of the head. About five minutes, morning and afternoon, every school day. Chen Hao never closes his eyes. He watches the teacher. My mother did the same exercises in this school in 1988, to the same counting. She still does them at her desk at the bank.
