In 2010, Pop Mart (set) up in Beijing by Wang Ning. At that time, it wasn't a toy empire (帝国), but a lifestyle goods store focused on Japanese products. The turning point came in 2016. Wang Ning noticed a rapid success story on his shelves: a Japanese blind box series called Sonny Angel.

The inspiration led him to do a survey of customers online about other characters they liked, and one name (rise) to the top: Molly, a character designed by Kenny Wong from Hong Kong.

Wang Ning went to Hong Kong and had a chance (work) with Kenny Wong. Pop Mart got the IP rights to Molly, managed the production, and most (important), sold the products as blind boxes. Soon, the Molly "Constellation Series" blind box came out in July and sold out in just four (second) during the pre-sale on Tmall. It wasn't just a success; it was the moment the Pop Mart phenomenon (现象) was born.

In fact, by (master) the blind box concept (概念), Pop Mart doesn't just sell toys. They sell the (excite) of not knowing what you'll get. Each series, usually including 12 standard designs and one rare "hidden" figure, turns buying a treasure hunt (寻宝). This creates an emotional connection that often goes beyond the item's physical worth.

Along with this, Pop Mart also works with many artists from around the world. This strategy (策略) is the key reason Pop Mart has become such a successful company today. Nowadays, many young people are even willing to line up for hours just to buy the (new) toys of Pop Mart!

The wise artist listened to his worries and offered him a challenge—painting a picture in front of a crowd. He hesitated (犹豫). The artist smiled and said, "Don't5 what others think.6, paint from your heart. The beauty lies not in perfection, but in the realness of your creation."

Encouraged by these words, Ethan's grandfather accepted the challenge, letting his feelings guide his brush. The crowd was7 by his great work. Finishing the story, Ethan's grandfather said, "That day, I realized that success is about accepting8 talents and expressing ourselves with passion."

Ethan didn't win the talent show, but he felt like a winner deep inside. He10 that the true success lies in the joy and satisfaction of pursuing (追求) one's dreams.

Have you ever wanted to write a poem? Do you find it is too difficult? Many beginners think that poetry (诗) is only for experts or that it must follow very difficult rules. However, writing a poem doesn't have to be a mystery. Find your inspiration (灵感). Look closely at your life. This could be a powerful feeling like joy or sadness, a memory of a special day, a person you admire, or a beautiful scene in nature. Just see the world around you with your heart.

Decide on a form for your poem. Or, if you like patterns, you could try writing a poem that rhymes (押韵). You can also create a unique (独特的) shape with your words, putting them in order to look like the subject you are describing.

Don't just tell the reader "I'm happy." Instead, show them what that happiness feels like. For example, you could write, "My joy is like a bright red balloon, rising and dancing into the wide blue sky." This helps the reader see and feel your emotion.

Review and improve your poem. Your first try is just the beginning. Read it aloud to yourself or to a friend. How does it sound? Do the words flow smoothly? Don't be afraid to change words, or cut unnecessary parts to make the rhythm (韵律) and meaning stronger.

Remember, while these steps are helpful, there are no strict rules in poetry. The goal is not perfection. Your unique styles and opinions are what make your poem special. So, pick up your pen, let your imagination fly, and start your poetry journey today!

Under the golden roofs of the Forbidden City, where red walls shine in the afternoon sun, a different kind of "resident (居民)" walks among the ancient buildings. These little cats, known as Gongmao or "imperial (皇帝的) cats", are now "ruling" a very different palace, which is full of tourists holding cameras and phones.

Visitors kindly call them the "clawed guards", a nickname (昵称) that reflects both where they live and what they do: keeping a watch on the treasures of the imperial city. It is said that more than 200 cats live in the palace today. Many are believed to be the descendants (后代) of the cats kept during the Ming and Qing dynasties. Since the Ming Dynasty, cats have been officially kept inside the Forbidden City.

At that time, their main "job" was to protect important documents, silk and artifacts (手工艺品) from mice. In the past, these cats were even given official titles. Later, they gradually became the beloved pets of concubines (妃嫔) and princesses. For those who have worked in the Forbidden City for many years, the cats' contributions remain clear. One staff member recalled that when he began working at the museum in 1977, many historical pieces were damaged by mice. "But in recent years," he said,"I haven't seen a single mouse." The cats did a good job in protecting important historical pieces all the time.

Today, each cat is registered and named by staff members. Having lived there for so long, the cats lead a regular life. Cat lovers have even created "palace cat-finding maps" and offered the best time to see them. According to online posts, the cats are fed around 3 pm every day. Some of the best places to find the cats are the Treasure Gallery, the Jingren Palace and the Shoukang Palace.

"Grandma", a tiny game under just five minutes, unexpectedly became popular. Its 32-year-old creator Zhou Yichen was the most surprised. Unlike modern games, it has no voice acting (配音), complex plots (复杂情节) or exciting action. Players only need to care for a grandma who has fallen and got hurt.

Players use the arrow keys(箭头键) to move around her house and simply answer "yes or no" questions: Will you sit with Grandma at the dinner table? Do you want to let her rest in bed? Each "yes" leads to a short, silent scene: Grandma slowly walking to the table or smiling in fresh air. And that's it. No levels, no achievements. It's just about taking care of Grandma over and over. But everyone who played it believed: "That's why it is so touching."

For Zhou, this game is a personal way to remember his grandma. In spring 2024, his 95-year-old grandma fell at home. She lived through it, but never fullyrecovered. Zhou took care of her, feeling helpless as her health got worse. He then decided to "keep" her in pixels (像素).

For a long time, the game was unfinished. Zhou designed the main plot but didn't know how it should end. In September 2024, he dreamed of a bird carrying his grandma away. Weeks later, she passed away. Not long after that, he finished the ending: after putting Grandma to bed, the character dreams of that bird. When he wakes up, she is gone. Only the road outside the house remains, leading far away, with him walking alone.

"The game doesn't keep her alive," Zhou said quietly, "but it can hold memories."

Studying is usually the least favourite thing among students. Most of them dislike the idea of studying. Why? Shouldn't studying be a fun activity to do, especially in the path of acquiring (获得) knowledge? If you want to be good at studying, it is very important to have good study habits. Here are some tips.

Firstly, in order to study, you must always choose a quiet area as this will help you to stay focused. A school, a public library, a coffee shop, or a quiet corner of your house can all be good places to study.

Organizing study groups is another useful tip. Group members can help one another work through difficult problems, provide encouragement, and make studying more enjoyable. Make sure you stay away from distractions, at least until it's time to take a break.

Some of you might prefer to read aloud, make colourful notes or watch video clips to help remember, while some may prefer to listen to sounds. Besides, some people work best in the mornings and others do better in the evenings. If you're not sure when you are most productive, try studying at different times of the day.

Lastly, practise, practise, practise! Musicians practise their instruments. Athletes practise sports skills. If you want to be able to remember information, the best thing you can do is practise. You can take practice tests or fun quizzes.

Hopefully, these tips can help you a lot.

A. The same should go for learning.

B. A noisy environment will not help you at all.

C. Another good method is to make some notes.

D. Perhaps you've been studying the wrong way.

E. However, there is one thing you should keep in mind.

F. In addition, try to find the style of learning that works best for you.
