"Why are you looking at me like that?" The crane asked.

"You're so plain (普通的)!" the peacock answered. "Your feathers are black and gray and they don't shine at all! Look at me! My feathers are all the colors of the rainbow (彩虹)! And they shine!"

The crane smiled, because he was happy with himself. At that time, a lion came along. He ran up to the two birds and wanted to cat them. The crane quickly flew up (飞) into the sky. The peacock began to run too, but it was too late! The lion caught him by the tail (尾巴). The crane looked down, and saw the lion and the peacock. The lion had the peacock's beautiful feathers in his mouth!

"What a shame (真遗憾) the poor peacock isn't very fast!" the crane said.

The crane's feathers were just black and gray, but he could fly. As for the peacock, he was beautiful, but he couldn't fly and he wasn't very nice!

When I was about 10 years old, I started learning cooking by making dough (面团). In my hometown, Ningxia, people often make noodles in the evening. My parents came home late, so if I made the dough early, we could have dinner sooner.

At first, I thought it was easy. I saw my mom do it many times. Just mix water and flour (面粉), right? But it was harder than I thought. Sometimes the dough way too soft. Sometimes It was too hard. I kept trying and slowly learned how to do it well.

Later, I learned to make jiaozi, pancakes and even pizza. I really enjoy cooking. It helps relax. Besides, I live a better life when I need to work away from my home. Every time I cook, the taste and smell bring back the warm memories of my hometown.

Now, cooking is more than a skill—it's a bridge to my hometown. Every dish takes me back to Ningxia's evenings. These skills help me live well and keep my childhood memories alive.

Li Ziqi is back! After a break of more than three years, one of China's most popular influencers finally returned on November 12.

Li came back with two new videos. One tells how she (change) a shed into a clothes room, and other shows how she used the intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产) of Chinese lacquerware techniques (漆器工艺) to make wardrobe door.

Fans from around the world showed their (excite) for her return. "I've missed you and your grandma. So glad you came back, so happy," wrote one fan on Youtube.

Li told Xinhua about the past three years, (say) "I went to more than 20 provinces and visited over 100 intangible cultural heritage inheritors (继承人)." She talked with them, studied their (skill) and learned the stories behind their work. Now, she wants to share their stories the world through her videos.

Why do people still like (she) so much, even though she was away for over three years? "Today, everyone is busy and there's no time for rest. she slows down and learns only one thing," said one fan.

According to Southern Weekly, Li's videos (love) so much because people want to live a simple and slow life. This wish is timeless, just like people's love for Henry David Thoreau's book Walden, which also talks about living (simple) in nature.

My parents often reminded me that the process of learning how to play the guitar is one to get skills and experiences.

The boy from Hangzhou, together with several other students, started the project "The Invisible (隐形的) Are Significant". They hoped more students would respect the "invisible" staff in the school. The project won a prize at China Thinks Big, a competition held by Harvard and Tsinghua University to encourage teenagers to study social matters.

Ding and his team members sent questionnaires   to 158 students. In one question, 56% of the students said they would greet those non-teaching workers and only 17% strongly believed that every student should do so.

The team also did research on the interaction (互动) between students and workers. While most students followed the rules of their teachers, one third of the students went against the rules of the dormitory attendants (宿管)."It shows that students treat non-teaching staff differently from teaching staff," The main reason, according to Ding, is that students know little about the work done by non-teaching staff and have few chances to communicate with them. So Ding's team shot videos to show the staff working in the school. They also held a basketball match between students and non-teaching staff to increase their connection.

"Explore and understand society in practice, and influence the people around us. That's where the meaning of the project lies." Ding said.

When the Canadian walked into the village, surprises kept coming. It is a quiet village that planted tea trees thousands of years ago. The local tea trees are so tall that people need ladders (梯子) to pick their leaves. Besides, people in the village live a peaceful and happy life in harmony (和谐) with nature. That also struck him. "In Canada, the protection of nature sometimes keeps people away from it. I never thought they can live together. On our way into this village, I saw lots of houses hugged by the trees, which was truly surprising," says Luchkow. He adds, "The scene was so beautiful, just like a picture postcard which you know must be sent from China."

Soon he was able to set the tone (基调) for the film, which shows a silent dialogue between trees and people. For thousands of years, from generation (一代人) to generation, the tea trees have been receiving people's care and protection. "I think if the trees could speak, they might want to give thanks to the villagers. That's what I tried to express through the film," says the director.

In the process of filming, Luchkow found the well-known Canadian coffee brand Tim Hortons had set up shops in Chongqing. Wu Ke, one of the many young locals who choose to stay in their hometown to make tea, finds himself fall in love with coffee, too. While local Chinese get used to drinking coffee nowadays, Luchkow's friends back in Canada enjoy Chinese tea a lot. "The communication between tea and coffee is like the exchanges between people," he says.

A ship that was once known as "the ghost ship of the Pacific" has been found on the sea bed. It was sunk (沉没) in the 1940s.
