Going to a movie now has been a part of our life. But have you ever thought of blind people watching movies?
64-year-old Wang Fokun lost his eyesight in his fifties. He had to give up his hobby of watching movies then. But in the past two years, a theater has helped him to get his love for the cinema back. Every Saturday, Wang travels 40 minutes to "watch" a movie.
It's at Xindeng Theater in Kunming that Wang "watches" the movie. With the help of volunteers, Wang enjoys himself along with many other blind people. The volunteers describe what is happening on the screen, including when the story happens, what the actors or actresses look like, what they are doing... Thanks to the description, the blind can throw themselves into the movie. They laugh when something funny happens and cry during sad scenes.
The task of describing the movie is not as simple as it sounds. The volunteers must be familiar with every scene in the movie. "I watch a movie at least three times and write down every small part," one of the volunteers said. And they have to practice many times before they do the job. However, they all enjoy the experience. "We're glad to bring enjoyment to the audience(观众) by explaining the movie," they said. So far, thousands of blind people have enjoyed more than 100 films described by them. They all agree that the volunteers do a great job.
Johanna Maria is a 22-year-old German girl. Hechizo is her pet pony(小矮马). He is 14 years old. This year, Johanna was accepted into a Scottish(苏格兰的) university. She couldn't bear the life without Hechizo so she decided to take him to go to school. However, transporting Hechizo would cost Johanna 2,000 pounds and she didn't have enough money. Then a special journey started. They walked 1,500 miles from a farm to the school. The two had spent the past seven months travelling between 13 and 20 miles a day. They camped out and slept at farms overnight and attracted a large social media following. Johanna said, "We have owned some followers on Facebook now and they are really kind. They have offered us lots of places to stay, but it seems difficult for us to make plans. We've made so many friends and I have felt mostly safe. We have had every kind of weather, lots of wind and rain."
With her father's help, Johanna and Hechizo crossed the Channel and arrived in England on July 13th. They restarted their walking in East Sussex on August 1st, reached Northumberland on September 3rd and hoped to cross the border(边地) within the next few days. Johanna said, "I really enjoyed walking through the fields, just the two of us. Hechizo is my everything. I got him for my 18th birthday. Sometimes he was so tired that he almost fell asleep while walking, but I thought he enjoyed it. For both Hechizo and me, it is a magic journey."
From hanfu to museum book marks, we can see the rise of China chic, which is also known as guochao. What is guochao? It means stories behind Chinese culture and history get retold.
Some artists add fun to traditional Chinese culture. Artist Jing Zhihao is among them. Jing created a set of cute brooches(胸针) according to what he saw in the Longmen Grottoes. For example, one brooch was named as "Better to hug Buddha's foot than do nothing at all", which means making an effort at the last minute instead of simply giving up.
Some artists use traditional art styles to tell stories of modern people. The Scroll of Ten Years is an example. The work is created in traditional Chinese painting style. And it has four parts, each of which talks about different subjects. The artists put modern heroes like Zhong Nanshan and Yuan Longping in the pictures. In their eyes,
Some young people, like Liu Jiayu and Tang Ziwei, are even taking their "made-in-China" cultural products abroad. On Ebay, a popular online shopping app, Tang Ziwei's T-shirts with pictures of the Chinese aircraft carrier(航空母舰) Shandong became the latest favorite among fans.

Some people may think that young people are too young to know what they want. But people like Lu Kaigang prove them all1 .
Lu grew up in a small village in Nanning, Guangxi. Now, he walks on some of the largest catwalks(T台) in the world.
Lu found his2 when he was a child. "When I was ten, I saw a fashion show on TV and I thought it was3 to walk on the catwalk," Lu said. "I've wanted to be a supermodel ever since."
Lu didn't have much money and never received professional training. However, these4 didn't stop him from running after what he wanted. Lu collected pieces of cloth from the factory where he worked, and then made them5 clothes. In 2018, he started making videos of himself wearing his handmade clothes and posted them online.
Lu has what money can't buy: strong will and confidence. "The early videos I posted didn't get many likes," Lu said. "But I6 what I was doing would be recognized by the world someday."
Lu7 his job at the factory and returned to his hometown to learn how to be a supermodel. He also8 posting videos online during the period.
Lu's hard work9 paid off and he became an online star. We can be sure that Lu wouldn't have been where he is today10 he hadn't followed his heart at a young age.
I didn't know of Santa Claus until the second grade when my family moved to America. My classmates told (I) that a fat man would come and put toys in one's stocking(长筒袜) on Christmas Eve.
Finally, Christmas Eve arrived. I took out my longest, (clean) stocking and put it on my bed. (unlucky), this Santa character was a stranger to my parents. I woke up early on Christmas Day and checked the stocking. , there was nothing in the stocking. There was no Santa in the world.
From then on, I told my friends the story every December. I had to tell it in funny way, or else(否则) I would cry.
How could I know that Santa was just late? Nine years ago, on Christmas Eve, a man knocked on my door. He said, "I've been looking for you for twenty-five years." He gave me a red stocking filled candy and toys, and left. On top of the stocking was a card. It read: "For Becky — I (miss) you since the second grade, but you've always lived in my heart. Santa." Then I recognized(认出) Jill's handwriting. I met her just two months ago. I later (discover) that the man was her father. Jill had seen the sadness in my eyes and decided (do) something with her father.
Now I believe that Santa is real. Santa lives inside kind people. He listens to friends and brings (warm) and hope.
On the morning of every Monday, two of my children get ready for school. They each carry a large bag with some clothes, a pair of shoes, lots of food and water. But there isn't any book in it. Then instead of walking them to school as I do on the other school days, I drive them to a nearby park. This is where they are going to spend the day and have lessons. Right, my boys go to a forest school once a week. It is from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. A group of kids explore(探索) the forests, lakes and animals in nature together.
I love the idea of the forest school, but I worry about a few things at first. Would the teachers be nice? Would my kids have fun?
The fact is that my boys get used to the school life quickly. Most of the time, they plan their own play, climb tall trees, build fires and do many other interesting things. The teachers never tell them that their play is too high, too fast, or too dangerous. They only follow the kids and help when something goes wrong.
When I pick the boys up at the end of the afternoon, they often look lively, happy and never want to leave. The forest school teaches them to look after themselves and get along well with nature. I think that is important.
