My Favourite Chinese Fable

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

The Palace Lantern, as its name indicates, originated in the imperial palace. It is a perfect marriage between lighting and art, and has both highly (practice) and aesthetic (美学的) values.

As an important element of Chinese decorative art a symbol of the Chinese culture, every Palace Lantern is a fine work of art, with beautiful (carve) on the wooden frame, lively painted landscapes, flowers, animals, and human figures the silk or glass shell, and exquisite fringes (流苏). The production of a lantern of the average size and design takes more than one month, with the larger ones (require) even more time.

As the capital of the Ming and Qing dynasties, the lantern making craftsmanship reached its peak, Beijing was once home to a number of the country's best lantern makers. Today the Beijing Palace Lantern is still (total) handmade throughout the 100-plus procedures, and it (name) an intangible cultural heritage item of the city in 2007.

In recent years, the younger generations (absorb) in making traditional lanterns. Han Zixing, one of country's best lantern masters, explained, "What's craftsmanship? It's maintaining inner peace, enduring loneliness, and remaining seated for long to work on a product. I hope more youngsters will love the Palace Lantern, and pass down this craft."

I was on a life-changing mission,2 to rid myself and my family of poverty. But things took a bad turn. All my belongings were3. My bag, my phone — everything was gone.

4, I begged for food to survive, feeling hunger that pushed me beyond what I could5. On the seventh day, Joel, a 34-year-old gentleman, saw my situation and came closer. He asked what had happened to me, and I explained everything I6.

Joel listened carefully, and with the kind7 he had, he paid for my bus fare. He said I could stay at his home and gave me8 for two weeks. His kindness changed everything for me. I9 my mission again, and many good characters offered to10 me on the road, teaching me that kindness is instilled in the believers of every religion and11.

Because no matter who we are, everyone has to cross a12 at some time in their life. For me, it wasn't just13 a new country — it was stepping into my mission to be14 . And when the time comes, our Border Angel will appear15, helping us make it to the other side — just like Joel did for me.

The internet can help a lot. It can give cheaper things and better services to people in the countryside or those who need help. Therefore, they don't know how to use technology or feel scared of it. Libraries and community classes help a little, but not enough.

Young people can teach older or excluded people basic tech skills. Hospitals and clinics are good places to start because many people who lack internet access go there for health reasons. For example, showing someone how to call family online or get their pension can make them more confident.

This helps in two ways. When young and old share knowledge, communities become stronger. Testing such programs in areas with poor internet first, focusing on simple uses like staying in touch or getting services, can show how useful the internet is.

Fixing the digital divide is about making sure everyone belongs. By teaching tech skills with kindness and community support, we can help everyone join the digital world.

A. However, many of them stay offline.

B. A good solution is volunteering across generations.

C. Most of them are poor, old, or have health problems.

D. They could be unaware of the benefits of the internet.

E. The aim is a society where technology unites, not divides.

F. It bridges the digital gap and brings different generations together.

G. The internet has the potential to bring about positive change to people's lives.

The Apollo missions, which concluded in 1972, occurred alongside the birth of the modern environmental movement—the founding of Friends of the Earth in 1969 and Greenpeace in 1971, the first Earth Day in 1970, among other important events—and the sight of Earth from space offered inspiration and motivation.

When Apollo 8 astronaut William Anders snapped a photograph of Earth, partially in shadow, rising above the moon's surface in 1968, he provided the clearest image yet seen of our world and its fragility (脆弱) in space. Many years later, photographer Galen Rowell described "Earthrise" as "the most influential environmental photograph ever taken." "Earthrise" was followed by "Blue Marble", a view of the Earth taken from the Apollo 17 spacecraft in 1972. That was the last of the Apollo moon missions, but NASA's space exploration continued to take longing glances back toward their home world.

In 1989, NASA formalized a Mission to Planet Earth, in which examining the third planet from the sun was no longer incidental to its work but central to it. In the three decades since then, the agency's Earth Science program observation has expanded along with both the technological ability and the growing necessity to do so. NASA and partners such as the European Space Agency (ESA) have compiled an ever-growing image library of our own planet.

The images reveal how Earth is transformed by land use, human activities, weather phenomena and climate changes. The thousands upon thousands of images reveal moments in time and seemingly timeless vistas, of our world up close and from afar. As Anders himself observed, 50 years after his first "Earthrise" image was released, "We set out to explore the moon, and instead discovered the Earth."

"By keeping children away from financial discussions, you are really denying them an education," says Joseph Oakley, host of the Enjoy More 30s podcast (播客) and a certified financial planner. "You're denying them a framework to build upon."

Oakley notes that children will finally develop their own financial mindset, which could be influenced by what they see on television, social media, or through their friends. When they get their first job, they'll likely lack experience in handling finances because they don't know enough about managing their money. According to Oakley, it is up to parents to teach them how to develop those skills.

Learning financial responsibility doesn't have to be formal, Oakley says. Instead, it can be about showing children how to handle everyday money tasks, like paying bills online or using credit cards wisely. Another example is teaching them about spending now or saving for later, such as saving money for a vacation.

While childhood financial education is crucial, Oakley reveals a systemic imbalance: Over 80% of financial resources serve people preparing for retirement because that's where most of the assets (资产) are. He stresses the importance of working with a financial planner when you are a young adult because waiting to speak to someone when you're close to retirement could affect your financial plans. He says it is easier for younger people to make life-changing decisions and adjust their paths.

This touching documentary takes us inside the workshop, introducing us to the dedicated workers there. There's Steve Bagmanyan, who carefully breathes life back into dented (凹陷的) brass instruments. Boris Karloff fixes violins that have witnessed countless childhood dreams. Dana Atkinson, a woman working in a mostly male field, knows a lot about woodwind instruments. And Duane Michaels, a former music teacher, understands firsthand how significant these instruments are for students, ensuring each one is in perfect condition when returned.

Through interviews with the workers and the sounds of tools and instruments being fixed, The Last Repair Shop paints a picture of the transformative power of music in children's lives. A repaired instrument is more than just a fixed object — it can be a path to creativity, a source of comfort, and even an escape from tough situations. For many public school students, especially those from underfunded (资金不足的) communities, access to musical instruments can be life-changing. By repairing these instruments, the workshop helps bridge the opportunity gap, ensuring that all children, regardless of economic background, have the chance to experience the joy of music.

The documentary also highlights how these instruments inspire students, shaping their futures. Many young musicians discover confidence, purpose, and even career paths through school music programs. Without workshops like this one, countless students might never have the chance to explore their talents.

The Last Repair Shop is a heartwarming celebration of music and human connection, reminding us of the magic that unfolds when we invest in the arts and empower young minds. Beyond that, it highlights the importance of preserving fading craftsmanship in an age of mass-produced and disposable (一次性的) goods.

Let's learn about the rise and fall of dynasties in the folds of the Great Wall, trace imperial genes in the structure of the Forbidden City, feel the echoes of ancient battles among the Terracotta Warriors, wander through the natural wonders of Zhangjiajie and Guilin, surf down Yangtze River's currents into the cyberpunk skyline of Shanghai, and capture the pulse of the future technologies. While other group tours follow the beaten path, we'll go beyond the checklist for hidden gems and exclusive experiences: encounter giant pandas in their hometown, explore the secret lands of Tibet, connect with local families and communities, witness traditional crafts and performances, and savor special food delights.
