Recently, a new lifestyle trend (趋势) called “Chinamaxxing” has become popular on foreign social media. The word puts “China” and “maxxing (最大值)” together. It means foreigners are trying to improve their daily life by following healthy and gentle Chinese living habits. More and more foreign young people are falling in love with this traditional Chinese lifestyle.

In western countries, young people usually drink iced water and cold coffee in daily life. They hardly believe drinking hot water is a good habit. However, everything has changed because of this new trend. Many foreign teenagers start to give up cold drinks and choose hot water instead.

On July 23, Wang Hong and Deng Yu, two Chinese mathematicians, won the Fields Medal. Known as the “Nobel Prize in math”, this prize is given every four years to at most four top mathematicians under 40. It is the first time Chinese people have received this great honor.

Wang Hong was born in Guilin in 1991. She fell in love with math because of an interesting math problem. She liked learning new knowledge by herself. In 2007, she entered Peking University but failed to get into the math major (专业). Luckily, she changed her major to math after hard work. However, college math was really hard for her, and she once doubted herself. She kept moving forward through those difficult days. Now she is a professor at a university.
