Standing in a field edged by rolling hills, two days before the first tour date in late September, Ba Nong, the frontman of the Chinese band Varihnaz, looked over the yellowed remnants of the rice stalks (黄色稻茬) he (spend) the past few months tending. "The land gets to rest, and I get to go play," he said.

Ba Nong, a 44-year-old farmer and (music) from rural Guangxi, hopes his music inspires people to break free from mainstream expectations. He and his band Varihnaz gained national attention on "The Big Band". Despite potential success, they chose to prioritize their lifestyle, even (drop) out of the competition's final rounds to avoid interfering with harvest.

Ba Nong worked as a graphic designer in Guangzhou but (grow) disillusioned (幻想破灭) and moved back home in 2012 to pursue organic farming and revive local (tradition). He connected with two like- minded individuals online-another farmer and bricklayer or from rural Guangxi-and reformed the unconventional band Varibnaz, meaning "fields filled with fragrant flowers" the language of Guangxi's Zhuang ethnic minority. Their song "Big Dream" resonated (共鸣) with audiences, who thought the group offered a refreshing break from China's hyper-commercialized popular entertainers with music about a simpler,   (slow) way of life, an alternative to the intense competition of modern Chinese life, although they, faced criticism for romanticizing rural life. Ba Nong promotes a mindset of authenticity and staying true to oneself. During their tour, they educated audiences about (nature) farming and sold their own rice.

he's disappointed that their fame hasn't led to widespread lifestyle reassessment, he's content with their achievements and is prepared to return to farming if their fame fades.

This panel worked on the guidelines for almost two years. It was the first to consider dietary needs based on financial situation, race and culture. Fatima, an obesity expert, said that considering these new elements will help make sure that the guidance reflects and includes various population groups.

Several of them showed links between ultra-processed foods and being overweight or obesity. But the nutrition experts said the evidence was too limited to make recommendations. The panel also didn't change recommendations about alcohol. The current guidelines are two drinks or less a day for men and one for women. The nutrition panel described a healthy diet for people beginning at two years old.

The diets of most Americans don't meet the current guidelines. More than half of American adults have one or more diet-related health condition. The report also notes that nutrition-related long-term health conditions will continue to threaten health throughout their life.

The dietary guidelines are updated every five years. Related government officials will then hold a public meeting to discuss the recommendations before they are finally released. All this makes it possible for Americans to attach importance to the dietary guidelines.

​​​​​​​A. The panel considered more than 40 studies.

B. For a healthy diet, people should eat more beans.

C. The last time the guidance was updated was in 2020.

D. The public has 60 days to comment on the guidance.

E. 18 million individuals have insecure sources of food.

F. It is high in vegetables, fruits, nuts, whole grains and fish.

G. We should also note that there's something missing in the guideline.

Even so, the overall market is still tiny. Non-alcoholic beverages make up a sliver (少量) of Britain's alcoholic drink market, at just 3%. That is comparable to the share in France and America but far behind that in Germany (16%) or Spain (11%). Sales growth of alcohol-free drinks would need to exceed 40% each year to come close to raising their market share above 10% by 2030.

Wider availability and better products will naturally help the market to grow. But so would fixing a specific problem in the British market. According to standards set by the Department of Health and Social Care, drinks must contain less than 0.05% alcohol by volume (aby) to be considered alcohol-free. That is less than the alcohol content of burger rolls or ripe bananas. It is also much less than incomparable markets. The 0.5% aby beers made by Big Drop, a British craft brewer, are officially deemed (认为) non-alcoholic in America, Australia and Germany but not at home.

This strict standard has two consequences. One is for competition. Obeying the guidance is hard for smaller brands in particular; producing drinks at 0.05% aby or less requires expensive equipment to extract (提取) the alcohol. Some don't even bother trying. Nearly one-third of the drinks sold and labeled (标明) as alcohol-free in Britain ignore the official guidance.That leads to the second consequence: confusion. More than half of respondents in a poll (民意调查) by Opinium, a research firm, said there was a lack of clarity over the suitability of non-alcoholic products for pregnant women, drivers and people who don't drink for religious reasons.

The government, keen to give more options to people who drink to excess (过量), has launched a consultation (磋商) on updating its rules so that drinks with 0.5% aby can legally reach the alcohol-free standard. A labeling change is not going to make the market go crazy but it would bring Britain into line with other countries. And it might make it even easier to order something non-alcoholic next time you are at the bar.

The establishment of online reading platforms and the setup of overseas localization and development ecosystems have led to Chinese online literature continuously expanding its global influence. It is now described as one of the world's four major cultural phenomena, along with US Hollywood movies, Japanese animation and South Korean TV dramas.

Featuring magnificent imagination, fascinating plots and compelling (扣人心弦) stories, it is drawing a growing mass of readers from all over the world. According to a report released by the China. Writers Association last April, Chinese online literature has captivated (迷住) nearly 200 million active overseas users, 80 percent of whom are Generation Z readers — those born between the mid-1990s and early 2010s-from most countries and regions worldwide. Another report released by the China Audio-Video and Digital Publishing Association in December revealed that in 2023, China's online literature industry earned 4.35 billion yuan ($597 million) from international markets, up 7 percent year-on-year.

"The charm of Chinese online literature is boundless. It goes beyond the limitations of traditional literature, breaking cultural barriers to resonate (共鸣) with readers around the world. As someone from faraway Italy, I've found deep emotional connection and inspiration in these works. Themes like the pursuit of dreams and the fight for justice are universal, uniting people across cultures," said Carlo Maria Rossi, a stage designer and creative director from Rome and a big fan of the popular Chinese web novel Lord of Mysteries.

Currently, Chinese online literature is crossing more boundaries and exploring a new path of going global. With a focus on "global co-creation on intellectual property", online literature writers from different nations and regions are joining hands in developing their web novel IPs, creating a new wave of the globalization of literature while promoting cultural understanding and exchanges.

Childhood was simple. The borders of my village were the furthest my troubles went and monsters only lived in the pages of books. Every day was a waking dream of running races and muddy knees. My village wasarchaic, dying cabins housing dying farmers with dying traditions. There weren't many children but me and the other boys; boys of butchers and sellers formed our own group.

They called us wild. I suppose we were. Trees and mountains formed our playgrounds and fights broke out as easily as sudden laughter. Liberated (解放) from the restrictions of society, we would bound into the woods, deeper and deeper until we found a lake which, with a wild yell, we would jump into all at once.

My most vivid memories from boyhood center around that lake. Water shone brightly and the sounds of our screams broke into the outery from birds. The shock of cold water against sweating skin would wake every nerve in my body and my bare feet would hit the sinking muddy bottom. As we submerged (浸没), time would stop, movements slowing as bubbles rose around us.

I was drowning. I was living. I was living. I was drowning. For timelessness or a second (both felt the same), we would pause, curl up, and then be forced back out into breathing air.

We should have known that it wouldn't last forever. Yet, even under the best circumstances, there's something so tragic about growing up: your perspective on the people and life around you changes; you always struggle to reach a mirror, only to find yourself tall enough to see your reflection one day and find a different person staring back out at you.
