Do you know the two lovely mascots? You may know the five "Fuwa" dolls from the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. On September 17 of this year, the two lovely mascots first showed on TV. Now, let's see who they are.
Look at the panda! It looks like an astronaut. It wears an ice shell and looks fat, so we call it "Bing Dwen Dwen". White is the colour of ice and snow. "Bing Dwen Dwen" likes ice sports very much and is good at them. That's why it is the mascot of 2022 Beijing Winter Olympic Games.
Do you think the red mascot looks like a lantern? The lantern's name is "Shuey Rhon Rhon". When the Chinese New Year comes, people always make or buy red lanterns. Red is the colour of hope and good luck, so people think their dreams will come true in the new year.

Since the outbreak of the novel coronavirus began in Wuhan in Dec. 2019, China has mobilized the power of the whole country. Now, epidemic (疫情) control and prevention efforts are starting to take effect.
According to a key meeting held on Feb. 21, the spread of the epidemic is being contained. On Feb. 24, mainland areas outside of Hubei reported nine new infections, the first single— digit increase in weeks, according to the National Health Commission.
Vaccine (疫苗) development is also progressing. Some vaccines have been tested on animals, according to the Ministry of Science and Technology. "If vaccine development is compared to building a house, we have laid the foundation and the building is starting to emerge from the ground," Zeng Yixin, the director of the National Health Commission, said to China Daily.
However, the turning point of the epidemic is yet to come. After millions of people return to work in major cities, the number of new infections should be kept low for two weeks. This is expected to be a turning point in China, according to the Shanghai Institutes for International Studies. But the situation in Hubei is still serious.
The situation outside of China is concerning. As of 4 p. m. on Feb. 27, the total number of confirmed infections in South Korea had risen to 1,766, Xinhua reported. Italy had reported 470 confirmed cases as of Feb. 26, as well as 12 deaths. Singapore, Japan and Iran have also found cases.
"The window of opportunity (the best time to contain the outbreak) may be closing," said WHO Director—General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus. He called on the international community to act quickly to control the epidemic before the window closes completely.

A Midsummer Night's Dream is one of Shakespeare's greatest comedies. I enjoyed reading the book. It made me laugh a lot. The characters are very fascinating.
In the story, there are two parallel worlds. One is the human world, and the other is the fairy world. Hermia, Helena, Lysander and Demetrius are all human beings. Oberon and Titania are the king and queen of the fairy world. The two worlds are connected and the whole story develops all because of a trick played by Oberon.
Hermia is my favorite character in this story. She is independent and has the courage to fight for her own choices. Her father suggests that she marry Demetrius, but she doesn't love Demetrius. Instead, she loves Lysander and decides to run away with him. Later, because of a trick played by the fairy king, Lysander falls in love with Helena. Hermia feels hurt, but she doesn't give up. Her determination leads to the story's happy ending.
I also love Oberon, the fairy king, very much. He loves playing tricks. He quarrels a lot with Titania because of his jealousy. When he loses to the queen, he plays a trick on her. In many other stories I have read, a king is always serious and powerful. Oberon, however, is very different. He acts like a child!
In A Midsummer Nights Dream, I saw humanity. I found characters of different personalities. That is why I think the book is so interesting. The story shows us what life is like——in an imaginative and humorous way.
