As one of the most celebrated landscape paintings in Chinese art history, A Thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains holds great cultural value for centuries. Created during the Northern Song Dynasty, this masterpiece was the work of Wang Ximeng, a talented young artist.
The painting is a long scroll (卷轴). It is over 11 meters long and 51.5 centimeters tall. Scrolls are a traditional Chinese art form. What makes this painting special is the colors Wang used. He took natural materials from rocks and mixed them with animal glue (胶水). These colors are so good that they still look bright after almost 900 years, even though the painting is easy to break.
In the painting, you can see the beauty from southern China. There are many mountains with sharp tops. Long rivers connect small villages, wooden bridges and fishing boats. You can also find people—some are farming, some are on boats, some are walking. They show how people lived happily with nature back then. This mix of natural beauty and daily life expresses the ancient Chinese idea of "unity (统一) between man and nature". This means humans and nature are one and should help each other.
Today, this painting is kept in the Palace Museum in Beijing. Museum workers keep it in a box in good temperature and humidity—too hot, too cold, or too wet would damage the old silk and colors. I think, because it is easy to break, the museum only shows it sometimes, but it still influences many modern artworks.

Eyes always on us
Video cameras are everywhere: schools, hospitals and stores. But in recent years, they have made their way into our homes. Many parents set up cameras at home to watch their children's online classes and homework. Are cameras really helpful? What do students think about them?
Earlier last year, I liked to lie in bed and watch videos but not study. This made my grades worse. So my parents set up a camera to keep an eye on me.
It worked. With the camera watching, I had to do my homework first and make plans for studying at home. When I was alone at home, the camera made me feel safe because I knew that my parents were watching on the other side. My grades improved after a year.
— Li Ming
When I was in Grade 8, my parents set up a camera in my room. I really didn't like it because I felt like there were always eyes watching me. I felt so uncomfortable that I couldn't sleep well at night.
Knowing there was a camera around, when my friends came to my home, they would speak quietly and carefully. We couldn't have pillow (枕头) fights. I was sad, so I asked my parents to take the camera away. They agreed as long as I promised to behave well. I feel happy and free now.

Last term, when I was preparing for the midterm exams, I had a (disagree) with my parents. It was all about how I used my phone.
They thought I (play) games all the time and said I couldn't use it after school. I felt that was unfair, because I (actual) used my phone for my studies. Math was very (challenge) for me, and I often looked up simple explanations online or asked my teacher questions on WeChat. My classmates also shared many useful materials with me through group chats.
The problem was that my parents didn't allow me (use) it. They were worried I would become (lazy) and wouldn't finish my homework. I felt really upset and cut off from my study tools.
One evening, my dad asked me to have a calm conversation. I decided to show them the truth. I opened my study apps and showed them my notes and (message) with teachers. "Look," I said, "this is how my phone helps me learn."
After seeing my study records, they finally understood. "A useful study guide even (share) with me by one of my classmates last week," I told them. They realized my phone was a tool, not just a toy.
