All animals produce waste. We call it “waste”, but we all know it can be very useful. Farmers have long used animal and human waste as a fertilizer (肥料). In some parts of the world, animal waste or poop, is collected, dried and burned for cooking and heating. 1.

The Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding has an unusual way of using animal waste. The pandas in it produce a lot of poop a day. 2. It’s not strange. After all, paper is made from plant fiber (植物纤维), which cannot be digested (消化) and simply goes through the body as waste.

Since pandas eat nothing but bamboo, their waste is perfect paper material. 3. Their stomachs haven’t fully developed for their vegetarian diet, so their bodies make use of just 20% of what they eat. The other 80% comes out as poop: very high in fiber and perfect for paper.

After the poop is collected, it is cleaned, crushed and poured into frames to dry.4. No one can guess where the paper comes from. And because of its good quality (质量) as well as the worldwide popularity of the panda, gift products made from the paper sell well.

5. They got the idea from the elephant dung paper (由大象粪便做的纸) made at the Elephant Conservation Center in Chiang Mai, Thailand. And Creative Paper Wales in the UK sells paper gifts made from sheep waste.

The well-known "new great inventions" of modern China have made our daily lives more convenient.

High-speed trains China created its first high-speed railway line in 2008. Since then, the number of passenger trips has grown by over 30 per cent every year. By 2016, more than 5 billion trips had been taken on the trains. By 2020, one-fifth of the country's 150,000-km railway network will be used by the trains. This network will link more than 80 per cent of the major cities across China.

Mobile payment Mobile payment is turning China into a "cashless society". Instead of paying by cash (现金), customers now pay for their goods and some kinds of bills simply by typing a short password into the Alipay or WeChat app on their mobile phone.

Shared bikes China has surprised the world with how quickly shared bikes are widely used. Nowadays, bike users can simply pick up or park the bikes on the street through GPS and smartphone apps. China's two leading bike-sharing companies, Mobike and Ofo, have been opening their overseas markets in Singapore, the UK and the USA.

Online shopping With around 751 million Internet users, China has been the world's largest and fastest-growing online shopping market. Because of lower costs and fewer licensing requirements(执照要求), it's easier for sellers to open an online shop in China. In 2016, more than 20 million jobs of rural areas were created, with over 8. 1 million running their own online shops.
