In March 1987, I started a new magazine called Creating Excellence. It was a very proud moment for me. I’d worked hard for over a year to create it, and the premiere issue (首次发刊) was a real success.???? Shortly after we mailed 25,000 copies, I received one in the mail.

Carrot juice, because of its many healthy benefits, is commonly called the "magic juice". It has been found that adding carrot juice to people’s diets greatly improves their health. And its delicious taste makes it popular with all members of the family as a beverage. ???? Carrot juice is one of the richest sources of vitamin A that can be used in the daily diet.

Drinking carrot juice to increase the vitamin A in the diet is said to be good for many parts of the body, including the bones and teeth. ????
