How do you think about AI?
Li Mei
Thanks to AI technology, my smartphone is getting smarter and smarter. Now, when I wake up and turn on my phone, my face can unlock it within a second. When I take pictures of myself or my friends, AI makes the photos much more beautiful. Besides, AI helps a lot with my English. Now translation is more accurate than ever before.

多亏人工智能技术,我的手机变得越来越智能。现在,当我醒来打开手机时,我可以通过刷脸在一秒内解锁。当我自拍或者给朋友拍照时,人工智能可以使照片变得更漂亮。此外,人工智能在英语方面帮了我很多,现在的翻译比以往更准确。

The modern ways of life in China
Why do we love living in China? The state of modern China and its innovations are changing what people think about this oriental giant(东方巨人).
China has the fastest high-speed trains in the world. When you are planning to travel from Beijing to Shanghai, one of the bullet trains will help you finish your trip within around 5 hours. In China, the sharing economy is so popular that you can share almost anything, and the biggest boom in today’s market is the sharing transportation. With one step of scanning a QR code, you are off on a sharing bike to your destination. The QR codes are a way of life in China, from getting another person’s contact information or following a WeChat official account(公众号) you like, to ordering food or paying bills. Besides, AI and robots are playing a more and more important role in people’s life, from photo shooting to virtual learning. What’s more, quite a lot of other modern changes are on the way.
