Mostly, they practice singing and movements. The biggest problem for Lulu was learning the Asian way of singing. “To start with, my throat(嗓子)was in great pain, because I was using my voice in the wrong way，” she said. But with the help of teachers, she has improved a lot. There are other international students in the group. “I really love Peking Opera because it brings us together，” she said. “I believe that art has no boundaries(界限) and music has no language barriers (障碍).

There is a special store opened in the Chengdu Youth Palace. If you “shop” there, you can find out how many calories there are in different foods. The store opened on May 17th，2022. It's part of the “Know Your Food” programme of the UNICEF. The programme is to make children and young people know more about foods, and help them make healthy choices about what they eat. There are no real foods in the store, but there are many imitation snacks (仿制零食), including sugary drinks and many bags of latiao. People can take them to the self­service counter(自助台) to see how many calories they have. What's more, the store offers many models and cartoons to help people understand which foods are very good for them and which foods they should eat less often. Now, being overweight (超重) has become a serious problem among children. It is shown that almost 20% of children between 6 and 17 years of age, and over 10% of children under the age of 6 in China are overweight. Scientists also point out that the cheap, highly processed (高度加工) foods and drinks can cause the quick growth of children who are overweight.
