Yi is the last player from China's famous 12-man team to do so. The team had NBA stars like Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi. They played together in the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games and came 8th. This is one of the best achievements of the Chinese men's basketball team.

However, Yi spent most of his career with the Guangdong Southern Tigers. He led the team to seven CBA championships (冠军).

Can middle school students be "teachers"? How will they teach? Li Ziqi, a l3-year-old boy from Chengdu Xichuan Middle School, Sichuan. Volunteered to teach primary school students in a village.
Li joined a teaching activity in Xichang county, Sichuan, last summer. "I read the news that teachers were not enough in the village, so I wanted to give some classes to the kids there," said Li. His parents helped him get in touch with the school.
"My third-grade students have subjects like Chinese and English every day, so I wanted to teach them chess ," Li said.
Li carefully gave 10 chess lessons with rules and real games. "Chess can help with kids' logical thinking. They love the chess class very much," said Li. "They now know that there are many ways of learning, not just learning from books. I feel so proud !"
Before leaving, Li Ziqi visited his students' homes. One father went to town to buy tea drinks for him. "I was so moved by these people when I saw the drinks. I know it is a kind of luxury for the family," Li told us.
Li also learned important life lessons. "The kids there live a hard life, but they are hopeful about the future. That helps me get over hard things in life," Li said.
Is there anyone around you wearing a horse-faced skirt? It is a type of hanfu, the traditional style of clothing of the Han people. It is now getting so popular that some people wear it daily.
On March 6, a Douyin report showed that the order for horse-faced skirts went up by 841 percent compared to the past year.
As hanfu becomes popular, traditional and modern fashions (时尚) are coming together. This has affected not only clothing styles but also people's cultural ideas.
Some hanfu lovers think that each design of hanfu has its own cultural meaning. They believe these should be strictly followed. However, other buyers think beauty and comfort are more important.
Zhou Shuang, 37, designs character clothes for film and television. She pointed out that for those who don't know much about traditional clothing, it's understandable that they want to mix ancient beauty and modern fashion.
This is known as the neo-Chinese style. "Neo-Chinese style clothing doesn't only use traditional elements (元素). It puts together modernity (现代) and tradition naturally," said Zhou. She added that it shows how traditional beauty continues to be valued by Chinese people today.
"I've noticed that there are so many people wearing horse-faced skirts on the streets now, from young women to children. It's unbelievable," said Wang Zicheng, a 23-year-old hanfu lover.

One day a Chinese student went to study English in England. His family name is Sun. It is the same as the word "sun". England is a country with bad weather. It is often cloudy or foggy(多雾的), and it rains now and again. So the people there don't get much sunshine all the year. When the Chinese student went to London, a tall English policeman with a large face opened his passport(护照) to see it. The policeman was interested to find the Chinese name "Sun" in the passport.
He thought it was pronounced（发音）just like the English word "sun", so he said to the Chinese student, "I see your name is sun. You are wanted here. "
The Chinese student was greatly surprised. But after a moment the policeman began to smile, "Mr. Sun, you ''ve brought sunshine to England! So we don't want you to go away. "
