He woke suddenly at four o’clock, the hour when his father had always called him to help with the milking. It was rather strange how his youth habit stuck to him still! His father had been dead for thirty years, yet he still woke at four in the morning. But because it was Mid-Autumn Festival morning, he didn’t try to sleep again.
Why did he feel so awake tonight? It was a clear night with the fullest moon. To him, the moon seemed always large and bright before the daybreak of Mid-Autumn Festival.
He was fifteen years old and working on his father’s farm. He loved his father. He had not known it until one day before Mid-Autumn Festival, when he had overheard (偶然听到) what his father was saying to his mother.
“Axiang, I hate to call Niuniu in the mornings. He’s growing fast and needs sleep. I wish I could manage alone.”
“Well, you can’t,” his mother replied. “Besides, he isn’t a child anymore. It is time he took his turn.”
“Yes,” his father said slowly. “But I really hate to wake him.”
When he heard these words, something in him spoke, “His father loved him! He had never thought of it before.”
Then on the night before Mid-Autumn Festival, he lay thinking about the next day. He wished he had a better present, better than those he had ever given to his father, for his father this Mid-Autumn Festival. A thought came to him. It was what he would do and he mustn’t sleep too sound. At a quarter to three he got up and let himself out. A big star hung low far away from the full moon at the other side of the sky. The cows looked at him, sleepy and surprised.
It was early for them, too. He had never milked all alone before, but it seemed almost easy. Milking for once was not a chore. It was something else, a gift to his father who loved him.

China has the oldest living tradition of poetry in the world, more than 3,000 years old, older than Homer’s lliad and Odyssey. And for the Chinese, poets have always been the ones who most truthfully express the feelings of the people. And to the Chinese, their greatest poet is Du Fu. Du Fu lived in the eighth century, the age of Beowulf in Britain. It was the Tang Dynasty, a time of unexpected cultural achievement that ended in terrible war and the death of millions. And out of that suffering, Du Fu created his art. Teachings of Confucius were Du Fu’s guiding principles (观念) all his life. In a sense, you could say that like much of the Chinese political tradition from ancient times even to today, his thought was utopian (理想化的).
Today every child in China learns Du Fu’s words in school. The meeting with the old musician, the spring scene in the ruined capital, the dancer Lady Gongsun, his wife standing alone in the moonlit window. They’re taught about his love for the common people, and also of course, his loyalty (忠诚) to the state.

Each year, more and more things are made of paper. We have had paper cups and plates for a long time. But now we hear that chairs, tables and even beds can be made of paper. Besides paper boots and shoes, you can wear paper hats, paper dresses and paper raincoats. When you have used them once, you may throw them away and buy new ones.

He woke suddenly at four o’clock, the hour when his father had always called him to help with the milking. It was rather strange how his youth habit stuck to him still! His father had been dead for thirty years, yet he still woke at four in the morning. But because it was Mid-Autumn Festival morning, he didn’t try to sleep again.
Why did he feel so awake tonight? It was a clear night with the fullest moon. To him, the moon seemed always large and bright before the daybreak of Mid-Autumn Festival.
He was fifteen years old and working on his father’s farm. He loved his father. He had not known it until one day before Mid-Autumn Festival, when he had overheard (偶然听到) what his father was saying to his mother.
“Axiang, I hate to call Niuniu in the mornings. He’s growing fast and needs sleep. I wish I could manage alone.”
“Well, you can’t,” his mother replied. “Besides, he isn’t a child anymore. It is time he took his turn.”
“Yes,” his father said slowly. “But I really hate to wake him.”
When he heard these words, something in him spoke, “His father loved him! He had never thought of it before.”
Then on the night before Mid-Autumn Festival, he lay thinking about the next day. He wished he had a better present, better than those he had ever given to his father, for his father this Mid-Autumn Festival. A thought came to him. It was what he would do and he mustn’t sleep too sound. At a quarter to three he got up and let himself out. A big star hung low far away from the full moon at the other side of the sky. The cows looked at him, sleepy and surprised.
It was early for them, too. He had never milked all alone before, but it seemed almost easy. Milking for once was not a chore. It was something else, a gift to his father who loved him.

With red handkerchiefs spinning (手绢转动) at fingertips, 16 robots were moving their feet and shaking their bodies to the music, dancing Yangge with human dancers on the stage.
This is a picture taken at the CCTV Spring Festival Gala when robots performed “YangBOT” on January 28th, 2025. “YangBOT”, a special performance at the Gala, mixes traditional Chinese culture with modern technology creatively. The show combined Yangge, a traditional folk dance, with robots and artificial intelligence (AI). In the performance, humanoid robots (robots shaped like humans) dressed in colorful costumes danced Yangge. They spun the red handkerchiefs and formed creative group patterns. Their movements were very smooth and natural, just like humans’. These robots were developed by Unitree, a Chinese robotics company.
“YangBOT” became a hot topic on social media and won the hearts of millions of people after the Gala. People praised it for its creativity and bringing something fresh to the stage. Some even said it was their favorite performance at the Gala. As a young man said, “It’s like watching the future and past dance together!”
Zhang Yimou, the director of the performance, explained, “This dance isn’t just fun, and it shows how technology can bring new life to traditions.” Many people said they took pride in the cultural inheritance (传承) and were amazed at how fast technology develops.
The performance shows how much technology has improved and how it can be used to brighten traditional culture like Yangge. It is also a great way to change our life with both tradition and modern technology.

China has the oldest living tradition of poetry in the world, more than 3,000 years old, older than Homer’s lliad and Odyssey. And for the Chinese, poets have always been the ones who most truthfully express the feelings of the people. And to the Chinese, their greatest poet is Du Fu. Du Fu lived in the eighth century, the age of Beowulf in Britain. It was the Tang Dynasty, a time of unexpected cultural achievement that ended in terrible war and the death of millions. And out of that suffering, Du Fu created his art. Teachings of Confucius were Du Fu’s guiding principles (观念) all his life. In a sense, you could say that like much of the Chinese political tradition from ancient times even to today, his thought was utopian (理想化的).
Today every child in China learns Du Fu’s words in school.

When we think of paper, we think of newspapers and books. But there are many other uses. Only half of the world’s paper is used for books and newspapers.
Paper is very good for keeping you warm. You have perhaps seen homeless men asleep on a large number of newspapers. In Finland, it is sometimes -40℃ in winter. The farmers wear paper boots (靴子) in the snow. Nothing could be warmer.
Each year, more and more things are made of paper. We have had paper cups and plates for a long time. But now we hear that chairs, tables and even beds can be made of paper. Besides paper boots and shoes, you can wear paper hats, paper dresses and paper raincoats. When you have used them once, you may throw them away and buy new ones.
The latest use of paper seems to be paper houses. These are not small houses for children to play in, but real and big houses for people to live in. You can buy a house with three rooms for about 500 dollars. You can put it up by yourself in a few hours, and you can use it for about five years.
