A Welcoming Way to Show China to the World

Modern life is not easy and full of stress. It will be nicer to get away from all the noise and congestion(拥挤)and live a simpler life in the countryside. This is what popular vlogger(网络视频录制者)Li Ziqi did.

Li was raised on a farm by her grandparents, but at the age of 14 she left the farm to work in the city. However, she found that city life was d1. and decided to move back to the countryside. “When I worked in the city, it was only about survival,” she said, “In the countryside, I am t2.living.”

When Li was back, she began making videos about her daily life and posting them to the Internet. She now has more than 20 million followers on Sina Weibo and over 7.5 million subscribers on YouTube. Her fans admire the way she makes e3. by herself: growing food and preparing traditional Chinese dishes, cutting down bamboo and making furniture, dyeing(染色)cloth and making her own clothes. The videos are beautifully made, but Li says she hopes her videos can provide people with e4. as well as fun. “I want people in the city to know where their food comes from. Some children b5. rice grows on trees!”

The idyllic(田园诗般的)countryside life Li shows has the magical power of making people feel comfortable and relaxed. When we talk about Chinese culture, the first things that come to many people might be bullet trains, 5G technology and fast-developing cities. However, it is actually the more traditional side of China that is much more a6. to people from other cultures. Through her videos, Li lets the world know that Chinese people are good at making works of a7. out of even the simplest materials — this is definitely a way to show China to the world.

Stephen Glenn is famous American scientist who has made several very important medical breakthroughs(突破). Many people were dying to know the secrets to his fantastic achievements. To solve the mystery, a reporter interviewed him asking why he was able to be so much more creative than the average person.

Stephen Glenn said that it all came from an experience with his mother that occurred when he was about four years old. He tried to remove a bottle of milk from the refrigerator and it fell, spilling its contents all over the kitchen floor - a real sea of milk!

Instead of shouting at him, giving him a lecture or punishing him, his mother said, “Steve, what a great and wonderful mess you have made! Well, the damage has already been done. Would you like to get down and play in the milk for a few minutes before we clean it up?”

Indeed, he did. After a few minutes, his mother said, “You know, Steve, whenever you make a mess like this, eventually you have to clean it up and restore all the things to its proper order. So, we should clean it up.” He used the sponge(海绵)and together they cleaned up the spilled milk.

His mother then said, “You have a failed experiment in how to effectively carry a big milk bottle with two tiny hands. Let’s go out in the back yard and fill the bottle with water and see if you can discover a way to carry it without dropping it.” The little boy learned that if he grasped the bottle at the top near the lip with both hands, he could carry it without dropping it. What a wonderful lesson!

This famous scientists said that it was at that moment that he knew __________________. Instead, he learned that mistakes were just opportunities for learning something new, which is, after all, what scientific experiments are all about. Even if the experiment doesn’t work. we usually learn something valuable from it.
