Cyber (络) culture comes from the use of computers and phones for communication, entertainment and business. So far, there have been 4.6 billion Internet users among the world population of 7.6 billion. Most of them are cyber culture users.
As a powerful country, China has increasingly influenced the world
with its cyber culture. In October 1Ith, 2021, the Taihu World Cultural Forum (论坛) was held in Anhui Province and it lasted 3 days. The cyber culture forum was included and invited many famous people. Its subject was to discuss how to use China’s cyber culture to tell great Chinese stories to the world.
Yin Hong, a professor at Tsinghua University, said, “For me, ‘great stories’ are the Chinese stories that are acceptable to the world and make the rest of the world agree with them, not just stories belonging to (属于) the Chinese people.” Yin took Li Ziqi, a well-known online video blogger, as an example.
Li Ziqi has millions of fans on YouTube and TikTok. She spreads the traditional Chinese lifestyle on the Internet. The reason why her videos are so popular is that they provide a new experience for her fans. Although the food and cooking methods, and even space and living conditions are so different, the wish for a better life is the same.

Dear schoolmates,
World Book Day is coming, and it’s high time for us to read more books. What can we do to enjoy reading
First of all, it’s important to choose the right book. Reading what interests us is the key to making it fun. Second, set a time for reading. As students, we’re usually busy, but we can still spare some time to read after finishing our homework. Also, a suitable place for reading should be considered. On weekdays, we can read at home, while on weekends, the library is a good choice. Besides, discussing the book we’ve read with others can help us understand it better,
Reading is the best way for us to learn about the world and improve ourselves. I hope that everyone can keep reading and enjoy the fun of it.
