On the night before Chinese New Year, Zhai Zhigang, Wang Yaping and Ye Guangfu were still in the core module(核心舱) of China's space station. It's about 400 km1the Earth. They became the first group of Chinese to spend the nation's most2festival--the Chinese New Year—in outer space.

The three expressed their Spring Festival greetings in a video. While he was showing a pair of couplets (对联), Zhai said "I wish all of3good health and good luck in everything you do". Wang dressed in festive clothes and had a red balloon in hand. She wished children across the country" Hard-working and healthy4". Ye had a "fu" in hand that means good luck. He wished Chinese people" A happy New Year and a happy family".

5far from home, the ways of celebrating the festival are the same. They have made the core module beautiful with red lanterns and Chinese knots(中国结)6:, They will also enjoy the7they usually share with their families on Earth-eating dumplings, wearing new clothes and sticking spring couplets8walls. For them, it's a very special New Year.

Moreover, Zhai and Wang have set records(创纪录) for the most number of days living and working in space. And they will9 the records until at least 2023. China will complete the building of its space station in 2022, and in the future, more Chinese people will10and enjoy the Spring Festival in space.

The film l Am What l Am(《雄狮少年》) has been praised by many fans of cartoons and lion dance. Unlike most Chinese cartoons today, which are from fairy tales, this film is about the lion dance, a kind of traditional dance in China and other Asian countries. During the performance, the dancers mimic(模仿) a lion's movements. Usually two performers act as a lion, one waving the lion head and the other waving the lion body and tail. The lion dance is usually performed during the Chinese New Year and other important festivals to symbolize excitement and energy.

The story happens in Guangdong province and the film is about the growth of three teenagers in a poor village. The three teenagers A'juan, A'mao and A'gou are all left-behind children. They are all common people who have to overcome many difficulties to achieve their dreams. In order to take part in a lion dance competition in Guangzhou, they make great efforts and experience many difficulties. Though in great trouble, the characters never give up their dreams. They practice lion dance day after day and in the end they manage to take part in the competition. Finally, they become the best lion dance performers.

The film is a mirror of daily life of common people. Our life isn't always going well and we may have to deal with many troubles. And what we really need to pay attention to is not the result but the process of fighting against the troubles.

This weekend, many people paid more attention to a talk about buying oranges. A student at Zhejiang University wanted to buy some oranges online for her experiment(实验). The shopkeeper offered to give away a box of oranges after knowing about the use of the oranges. "If it is for our country, I will give a box of oranges to you. I can't help our country much, that's all I can do," the shopkeeper said. A lot of people were moved by these simple words.

In fact, things like this are common. Some people also recalled similar experiences of their own. A doctor said that there were not enough masks (口罩) at work during COVID-19, so he ordered some online and bought a lot of masks . The seller asked him what these masks were used for. Knowing that he was a doctor, the shopkeeper sent more masks to him. After he thanked the shopkeeper, "You are the hero of this country, and I should say thanks to you," the shopkeeper said.

In these heartwarming events, we can see again and again that these valuable acts come from ordinary people like you and me, whether they are a fruit farmer or a mask seller.

Greatness usually comes from the ordinary, because the ordinary is more valuable. These events have touched the hearts of people not only because of their simple love, but also because these ordinary people have made more people see their power. Everyone is helping others and giving back in their own way. Let us work together to build a better country and a better society.

The opening ceremony(开幕式) of the Beijing 2022 Olympic Winter Games was held at the National Stadium in Beijing, on Feb. 4th, 2022. With Chinese festival culture and scientific and technological wonders, the opening ceremony amazed the whole world.

The opening ceremony for the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympic Games left a deep impression on the world. Fourteen years later, Beijing surprised the world again at the opening ceremony of the 24thWinter Olympics. It not only celebrated the highest level of winter sports, but also celebrated the traditional Spring Festival, which amazed the international friends. People were excited when President Xi Jinping announced the opening of the Winter Olympic Games. Because it makes the Chinese capital the first city in the world to host both the summer and winter Olympic Games.

The opening ceremony was set on the same day as lichun, or beginning of spring, which is known as the first of 24 solar terms on Chinese lunar calendar. It helped to represent the organizers' wish for friends around the world to welcome a new spring together.

The Chinese delegation(代表团) has 176 athletes, which is the most since the country's first Winter Olympics in 1980. And there are also 211 coaches，leaders and other members for the competition. The Games will take place in three hosting areas—Beijing's downtown, its northwest Yanqing and co-host Zhangjiakou, Hebei province—until Feb. 20th.

International Olympic Committee President Thomas Bach said, " This is the goal of the Olympic Games: bringing us together in peaceful competition, always building bridges, never erecting(建立)walls and uniting humankind in all our diversity(多样性). "

Su Yiming received a very special letter from Chinese President Xi Jinping on Feb. 24th, 2022. Who is Su Yiming? What did President Xi say to him?

Su is a snowboarder (单板滑雪运动员). On Feb. 17th, he got the gold medal at the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics. When Su got the medal, he was really excited. The next day would be his 18th birthday. He thought the medal was the best gift for his birthday. But the person that he wanted to thank the most was President Xi.

He couldn't wait to write a letter to President Xi. In the letter, he said "I really want to thank you and our great motherland from the bottom of my heart. " Su also said he would keep working hard and work for the nation. Su remembered that Xi met with him at the National Winter Sports Training Center in 2019. At that time, Xi encouraged him to show the new generation (一代人) of Chinese youth on the world stage.

In the reply from President Xi, Xi congratulated Su and other athletes on their excellent achievements at the Beijing Winter Olympics. Xi said that the new era(时代) is the era of dream chasers (追逐者). It is the time for young people to realize their dreams. He hoped that young Chinese people always keep the motherland in their hearts, aim high and stay grounded (脚踏实地的).

"I was surprised and excited when I got the reply from President Xi. The letter will encourage me to work even harder in the future." Su noted.

The year 2022 is Chinese Year of the Tiger. In traditional Chinese culture, tiger is considered to be the king of all beasts(猛兽), and as aof power and energy.

In China, it is said that people whoborn in the year of the tiger are also very brave and strong. And you can see manyof tigers on the walls of temples and houses, because people believe that tigers can protect them  the dangers.

Tigers play an important in culture not only in China, but also across Asia. For example, the four strong economies in Asia-Singapore, South Korea, China's Hong Kong and Taiwan- are"The Four Asian Tigers". And in the book Life of Pi (《少年派的奇幻漂流》), the Canadian writer

Yann Martel chose a Bengal tiger(孟加拉虎)the partner for the Indian boy Pi during his adventure (冒险) on the Pacific Ocean.

There are some phrases about the tigers. For example, if you want someone to calm down, you can say to them, "easy tiger".  famous phrase is the "Eye of the Tiger", which means strength and power.

But nowadays, tigers are endangered because of humans. I feel so sad. I want to help protect them. And I hope in the future more and more people can learn about tigers and protect them and their habitats.

Do you know the two lovely mascots (吉祥物)? You may know the five "Fuwa" dolls from the2008 Beijing Olympic Games. On September 17th, 2019, the two lovely mascots first appeared. Now, let's see who they are.

Look at the panda! It looks like an astronaut in the space. It wears a helmet made of white ice. White is the color of ice and snow, which means purity and strength. It looks fat, so we call it "Bing Dwen Dwen". "Bing" means ice in Chinese, while the "Dwen Dwen". here means stocky and cute. " Bing Dwen Dwen" likes ice sports very much and is good at them. Bing Dwen Dwen waves its left hands to say hello. There are two red hearts in the hand, showing its kindness and love.

Do you think the other red mascot looks like a lantern? The lantern's name is "Shuey Rhon Rhon". "Shuey" is the Chinese word for "snow" and "Rhon Rhon" has the meaning of tolerance(包容)and integration (融合). When the Chinese New Year comes, people always make or buy red lanterns. Red is the color of hope and good luck, so people think their dreams will come true in the new year. "Shuey Rhon Rhon" can give players hope and help them do well in the 2022 Beijing Winter Paralympic Games(残奥会）.

Many people in different countries like the two mascots very much, and they show their love for them on the Internet.
