Many people believe hot pot can really tell how much Chinese like to get together to enjoy happiness. A new documentary(记录片), Pot of Fire

(沸腾吧，火锅), allows internet users to "enjoy" hot pot together online.

Some people think hot pot can bring warmth to our body in winter and help cool the body in summer. But eating hot pot is much more than enjoyment(享受) for our mouth and health. It's also a connection(关系) of life and friendship. For most Chinese people, eating hot pot is usually a social event. A survey showed that 40.2% of Chinese usually eat hot pot with friends, while 17.6 % with family.

When a group of people sit around a table to eat, chat and drink, it's a good time. So if you feel hungry or lonely, why not cook hot pot to fill your stomach and heart as well? Or, at least you can watch Pot of Fire.

Today, people in some countries are fighting against COVID-19(新型冠状病毒). To stay safe, lots of people aren't allowed to shake hands with others. They are not allowed to kiss or hug(拥抱) them, either. If you need a hug, you can hold your arm around a tree. A tree! That may sound a little strange, but many people are doing it!

A girl posted(发布) some of her photos of hugging trees online. She wanted to encourage more people to hug a tree. She said, " In this unpleasant period(时期), we recommend people around the world to go out to hug(拥抱) a tree. You can express(表达) your love for the tree and get love from the tree. Lots of people saw her photos. They also went out to hug trees. Moshe Hazan was one of them. He said to a reporter." Now we'd better not hug other people. Hugging a tree is quite a nice thing to do."

"A forest worker made a funny video about hugging trees." He said, "There are plenty of trees. There is no need for everyone to hug the same tree."

The morning was dark and cold. While I was sleeping, Jack shook me awake. He stood by my bed and looked excited. He said to me, "Come on, Mike. It's sea turtle(海龟) time."

I opened my eyes and looked out of the window. It was so dark that I couldn't see my bed. I didn't want to get up, but Jack pulled me out of my bed. We put on heavy waterproof(防水的) boots(靴子) and rain jackets and set out.

As soon as we walked to the sea shore, I saw a baby sea turtle lying on the beach on its back. It was unable to get right side up. I picked up the baby sea turtle gently(轻柔地). Then I took it to the sea. I put it in the water slowly. The sea water took the baby turtle away.

"Nice job, Mike, "Jack looked at me and smiled. I had a feeling of pride when I heard his words. We spent the next three hours searching for sea turtles and helping them back to the sea. Jack and I found fifteen sea turtles on the beach. We helped all of them back to the sea. When we arrived home, we felt tired, but we were proud. We thought we did a good job.

How did face-changing come? It is said that in ancient times people painted their faces with different looks to drive away wild animals and keep them safe.  Nowadays the show has made its way into tea houses and restaurants in Sichuan, drawing visitors from all over the world.
