Li Ziqi, one of China's most popular influencers, returned with a new video on Tuesday afternoon after she stopped posting videos for over three years. In this video, she showed she made wardrobe (衣柜) doors, using traditional Chinese lacquer (漆器) techniques (技艺). So far, she (spend) months on it to complete the project. The process of creating lacquer was so challenging it needed great skill and patience.

As an important cultural heritage (遗产), lacquer art is one of China's (old) and most valuable traditions with a history of thousands of years. By the Shang and Zhou dynasties, lacquer had become an important material used in everything from (music) instruments to objects to honor ancestors. The Chu people during the Spring and Autumn periods (know) for their love for lacquer. The lacquer from the Han Dynasty was famous for its creative use of (color)—especially red and black—meaning both the energy of life and the wisdom of age.

The Chinese have long valued lacquer for its mixture of beauty and purpose. However, lacquer art is now at risk of (die) out. By bringing it to the attention of millions of people through her platform, Li is not only sharing the beauty of this ancient technique but also reminding people the importance of protecting the cultural heritage. Through her videos, people around the world have received much (educate) about China's cultural heritage.

Octopuses (章鱼) usually live alone by themselves. But some octopuses in Australia like to live in crowds. Once scientists used underwater cameras to film them and they them throwing things at each other. The octopuses often throw shells (贝壳) away by their after eating. Sometimes, they even plants or sand and let them go while letting out a jet (喷射) of water. They might be doing this to keep their space, but often they hit other octopuses nearby. After studying the videos, scientists believe they are doing this on purpose.

With the arrival of the tourist season, the scenic spot has been crowded with visitors around 20,000 a day since July. With so many people, the challenge of managing waste has become more serious, putting cleaners under pressure. So, the scenic spot came up with a fun way to help: "Trash hunt for gifts." Here's how it works: Visitors are given trash bags and encouraged to pick up litter around the site (地点). In return, they get small gifts showing Dunhuang's rich culture.

Isn't this another good form of the three Rs spirit? I still remember going to some scenic spots, especially historical sites where people gather in a small area. At these places littering is something we always have to try hard to deal with. Not only does it influence the cleanliness of a site, but it is also likely to harm the natural environment. So, when I saw how the "Trash hunt for gifts" program was carried out, it was clear this way was more than just a trick to attract attention. It was truly an effort to encourage a culture of responsibility and care. The activity does more than just cleaning up the area. It turns every visitor into an environmental guard, actively taking part in protecting the beauty of the site.

     ★      Other places in China are also doing similar things. It's great to see that tourists are not just enjoying the sights, but also helping to protect them. Turning tourists into environmental guards is a new and exciting way to keep our scenic spots clean and beautiful for everyone to enjoy. It's a reminder that while we enjoy the beauty around us, we also have the power to protect it.

Last weekend, two women were present as she was at her position. When she handed them their bill, neither of them could afford it. They looked badly embarrassed and didn't know what to say. After a while, the younger woman took her aside and explained that they were having a hard time because they both lost their jobs.

My daughter covered the cost of their meal and wrote a note that read something like this: "This meal is on me. I hope you have brighter days ahead." Then she gave the note to the younger woman. She felt great about it. It wasn't a large amount of money, but it seemed to light up the mood (心情) of the two women.

However, she found it amazing that the world repaid her kindness so promptly. Within two hours, another customer left her a $10.00 tip (小费), which was more than the money she paid for the young woman.

In my daughter's act of kindness, she was not expecting anything in return. She just understands that being kind is its own reward. "You can't give more than the world can give back to you," she said. I could hear the smile in her voice during our conversation.

The world always provides its abundance (丰富) when we offer ours. Similarly, we can never get away with cheating others. The world always reflects our knowledge.
