For Liu Yuxin, marching to the beat of his own drum has been an apt motto for his life.
The 55-year-old from Liuyuan in Tianjin's Beichen district is 1.a fifth-generation teacher of the village's very own intangible cultural heritage—Liuyuan Xiangyin Fa drumming.
This ritual drumming tradition emerged in the area during the rule of Emperor Daoguang (1820-1850) in the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911). In the village of Liuyuan, drumming 2.was performed(perform) for Buddhist, Taoist and folk rituals, often to bring good fortune.
Some two centuries on, and in the summer courtyards of Liuyuan, the drums still ring out, joined by the crash of cymbals, the melodic (旋律优美的) notes of bamboo flutes 3.and reed pipes, and the whir of mouth organs.
At the village's Liuyuan Xiangyin Fa Drumming Training Base, 4.where teacher Liu plies his trade, a broad range of music lovers, from age 5 to 80, learn and practice together.
“We offer free classes about the history and movements of Xiangyin Fa drumming, hoping to inspire more 5.people's(people) love and interest in this traditional art,” said Liu, who is one of Tianjin's 16 representatives 6.listed(list) in the sixth batch of national intangible cultural heritage inheritors.
In June 2008, the drumming was named a national intangible cultural heritage, according to the Tianjin Intangible Cultural Heritage Network.
Liu said that Liuyuan Xiangyin Fa drumming mainly consists 7.of drums, cymbals and gongs of different sizes, but that other instruments are also sometimes included.
Each classical score comes with its own performance routines and unique movements, said Liu, before 8.demonstrating(demonstrate) how to hold the drumsticks and ways to strike the skins.
“We encourage our students, who are mostly 9.locals(local), to actively participate in performances to promote this national intangible cultural heritage art,” Liu said.
Every year, the Liuyuan Xiangyin Fa drumming troupe collaborates with other intangible cultural heritages, such as stilt-walking, to hold the “Spring of the Canal” flower fair performance.
“The older generation of inheritors of these skills are generally less well 10.educated(educate), so they had more time to practice when they were younger,” Liu said. “We hope the next generation can help promote the intangible cultural heritage through enhancing cultural literacy.”
Jane Goodall:Finding and Hope Throughout the Life
Adapted from The Economist
In 1960, a young woman with no scientific training made a discovery that would redefine humanity's place in nature. Jane Goodall, a former secretary, observed a chimpanzee named David Greybeard using a grass stem to extract termites (白蚁) from a mound. This simple act shattered the long-held belief that tool-making was an exclusively human trait. Goodall's breakthrough observation, made in Tanzania's Gombe reserve, forced scientists to reconsider what distinguishes humans from other primates.
What made Goodall's research unprecedented was not just her findings, but her methods. Unlike traditional scientists who numbered their subjects, she named each chimpanzee and documented their distinct personalities. Over 25 years, she meticulously recorded every interaction, building an unparalleled understanding of chimp society. She noted their meat-eating, daily nest-building, and even post-conflict reconciliation—behaviors that revealed emotional complexity no one had previously imagined.
But Goodall's connection to the chimps ran deeper than scientific data. When she released a chimpanzee named Wounda in 2013, the animal spontaneously hugged and kissed her—a moment that seemed to express gratitude from an entire species. Such bonds, however, made the threats she later witnessed even more devastating.
During a 1990 visit, she found forests outside Gombe destroyed by deforestation, the land sterile and local communities struggling to survive. The experience transformed her into a global activist. She realized that protecting chimps required saving their habitat and empowering the people who shared their land. In 1991, she launched Roots & Shoots, a program engaging youth to work on projects benefiting animals, communities, and the environment. Today operating in over 75 countries, it reflects her core message: individual actions create global change.
Goodall sees herself as a messenger of hope rather than despair. Her scientific legacy and activism demonstrate that humans' unique capacity for language and planning, which should make us wise stewards of nature, can indeed be used for healing. For over 60 years, she has shown that understanding and compassion are not weaknesses, but humanity's most powerful tools for planetary change.

The Law of Club and Tooth—2
Excerpt from The Call of the Wild
淘金潮时期,米勒法官家的爱犬巴克被贩卖到寒冷的阿拉斯加,它历经了重重磨难,最终回归到大自然。
When Francois saw Buck, he shouted to Perrault: “What did I say? Buck certainly learns quickly.”
Perrault nodded seriously. He was a courier (信使) for the Canadian Government, carrying important letters, and he was anxious to get the best dogs. He was particularly① pleased about owning Buck. Three more huskies were added to the team, making nine dogs, and soon they were in harness and moving up the trail. Buck was glad to be moving. Though the work was hard, he didn't dislike it. He was surprised at② the eagerness③ of the whole team, and even more surprised at Dave and Sol-leks, who④ were completely changed by the harness.They were no longer passive⑤ and uninterested. They were alert⑥ and active. Pulling the sled seemed to be what⑦ they lived for and the only thing that they enjoyed.
Dave was nearest the sled.Buck was in front of him.Then came Sol-leks; the rest of the team was ahead in single file (成纵队) up to the leader, Spitz. They had placed Buck between Sol-leks and Dave on purpose⑧, so that he could learn what to do. He was a good learner and they were good teachers, helping him to learn with their sharp teeth. But by the end of the day he had mastered his work and Francois' whip (鞭子) hit him less often.
It was a hard day's run up the canyon (峡谷). They passed the timber line (森林边缘).They crossed glaciers (冰川) and snowdrifts (雪堆) hundreds of metres deep and they went over the great Chilcoot Divide (分水岭), which⑨ guards the sad, lonely north. They travelled quickly past a chain of lakes, and late that night they pulled into a large camp at the head of Lake Bennet. There were thousands of gold-seekers (淘金者) waiting⑩ there for the ice to melt in spring. Buck made his hole in the snow and slept, exhausted⑪.
Day after day Buck worked hard in the harness. The team started off in the dark and then stopped to camp in the dark, eating their bit of fish, and crawling to sleep in the snow. Buck was very hungry. The kilo of dried salmon, which was what the dogs got each day, was never enough for him. The other dogs weighed less and were used to this way of life, so they managed to⑫ keep in good condition⑬.
He found, however, that the ones who finished their food quickly, would steal his. To stop this, he ate as fast as they did. He was so hungry that he even took what⑭ didn't belong to him. He saw Pike, one of the new dogs, steal a piece of bacon when Perrault's back was turned. He did the same thing the following day, getting away with⑮ the whole piece. The men were very angry, but did not suspect⑯ him, and another new dog, Dub, was punished for it. Theft was one of the things Buck had to learn to survive⑰ in his new hostile Northland environment. He knew he had to change to fit into⑱ these harsh (恶劣的) new conditions, or face a quick and terrible death.
His development⑲ was fast. His muscles became hard as iron⑳. He could eat anything. His sight and sense of smell became very sharp㉑, while㉒ his hearing developed so much that in his sleep he knew whether the smallest sound meant danger or not. He learned to bite the ice out when it collected㉓ between his toes. When he was thirsty and there was a thick layer (层) of ice over the water hole, he would break it by dropping onto it with his front legs㉔. He also learnt to smell the wind and decide what would happen in the night, so that he always made his sleeping hole in the most sheltered place.
Not only did he learn㉕ by experience, but long-dead instincts㉖ rose in him again. The years of domesticated dog generations fell from him. It wasn't difficult for him to learn to fight like wolves, because that was how㉗ his ancestors had fought. And when, on still cold nights, he pointed his nose at a star and howled (长嚎) long and wolf-like, it was as if ㉘ his ancestors were howling through him.
