Experiencing films beyond the screen
（文章来源：China daily）
A charity program is producing barrier-free versions of movies for people with vision loss, Wang Qian reports. When a looming collision with Jupiter threatens Earth as humans steer our planet like a rocket ship to search for a new star amid stellar effects and jaw-dropping sci-fi scenes in the blockbuster, The Wandering Earth, Ma Deli leaned forward and clutched the arms of her chair as the thrilling plot took grip of her.
"It felt like I was in the movie," says the 50-something, who totally lost her sight about a decade ago. She was listening to the barrier-free film in a theater in Xichang, Sichuan province, in which vivid voice-overs narrated descriptions of scenes that enthralled Ma, who enjoyed her first such flick in September 2019. Since then, she and other people with vision loss have been able to attend screenings providing descriptions of the plots between dialogues on the fourth Sunday morning of every month across Sichuan.
The service is provided by the Ever Shining Cinema charity program, launched by the Communication University of China, Beijing Gehua CATV Network Co and Oriental Jiaying Media Co. Over the past six years, nearly 600 films have been given such added audio descriptions and made available in 2,244 special education schools nationwide. More than 800 teachers and students have volunteered to produce these barrier-free versions.
"It is the seventh year of the project, through which we hope to bring (more experiences) to more people with vision loss, while raising public awareness of this group," says Fu Haizheng, vice-dean of the Research Institute on Information and Communication Accessibility affiliated with the Communication University of China in Beijing and an initiator of the program. Fu recalls that the idea came about during a group discussion on how to improve life for people with vision loss. A teacher asked — although walkways are equipped with amenities to assist people with vision loss — what about their access to cultural products
China had nearly 28.6 million people with vision loss by the end of last year, according to data from the National Bureau of Statistics. At least 8 million are completely sightless, according to the China Association of Persons with Visual Disabilities. Fu and his colleagues decided to use their expertise in film to "pave the way to let people with vision loss enjoy the benefits of culture".
The opening line of each barrier-free film version they've produced says: "Welcome to Ever Shining Cinema, which conveys color through sound and depicts art through listening." The first issue they must overcome is film availability. Beijing Gehua CATV Network and Oriental Jiaying Media provided five movies to start the program.
A discussion was held in a meeting room in the Television School of the Communication University of China on how to make films accessible to people with vision loss. Some teachers suggested narrations of each roughly two-hour film reinterpreting them into half-hour stories through audio recording and editing. But this approach was abandoned because they wanted to provide a fully immersive film experience to people with vision loss. "Ever Shining Cinema's barrier-free movies include play-by-play narrations of what's happening on-screen in between dialogues and sound effects. These narrations describe the scenes and the meanings and emotions behind them," Fu says.
The processes of scriptwriting and revising, and audio recording, editing and mixing require tens of thousands of clicks on pause buttons to get familiar with every detail from shot to shot, he says. It takes about a month to finish a film. In April 2019, the project participated in the Beijing International Film Festival as a permanent section. Although China's movie industry has experienced rapid growth over the past decade and had 86,310 screens by the end of last year, according to the China Film Administration, enjoying films at cinemas is not a common treat for people with vision loss.

（文章来源：China daily）
Bookings for trips during the upcoming Chinese New Year holiday in China are witnessing a surge as the travel demand among residents is robust, according to major online travel platforms, ThePaper reported on Friday.
The combination of family visits and tourism has led to a significant increase in travel enthusiasm and bookings, making it potentially one of the most bustling holiday seasons in recent years.
According to Mafengwo, a travel service and social networking platform, searches for "where to go for Spring Festival" surged 350 percent in the past week and continue to rise.
A report by Alibaba's travel platform Fliggy showed a significant year-on-year increase in domestic travel bookings for the Spring Festival holiday, with holiday travel search interest exceeding the level seen in the same period in 2019.
Online travel agency Ctrip's report shows that, as of Jan 13, orders for domestic, outbound and inbound tours during Feb 9 to 17 have all increased.
More Chinese residents are planning multiple trips. The proportion of family and parent-child travel by both railways and civil aviation is expected to reach record levels during the Spring Festival travel rush, according to a report from Tongcheng Travel.
The increased demand for air travel has led to higher domestic flight prices, the highest since the same period in 2019.
Flight prices to Hainan province during the Spring Festival have surged, with routes such as Hangzhou of Zhejiang province to Haikou of Hainan province seeing a 105 percent year-on-year increase.
The average payment for air tickets during the period exceeded 1,000 yuan ($139.87), a 10 percent increase compared to 2020, according to Qunar, a Beijing-based online travel agency.
The first travel peak is expected on Jan 20, coinciding with the start of winter break for many schools, according to Qunar's train and flight bookings.
The second peak is expected on Jan 27, marking the beginning of the Spring Festival travel season, with the highest peak expected on Feb 7 and 8, two days before the eve of Chinese New Year.
Tongcheng Travel's report said that, for domestic flights during the Spring Festival travel rush, family travel takes up 43 percent of the total, with a 35 percent proportion of trips involving children, both reaching new highs since the same period in 2019.
For rail travel during the Spring Festival, the expected proportion of family trips is 27 percent, with a parent-child travel proportion of around 20 percent, setting new records since 2019.
The top ten popular domestic destinations for train travel on Tongcheng Travel during this year's Spring Festival are Chongqing, Harbin, Guiyang, Beijing, Chengdu, Kunming, Xi'an, Guangzhou, Changsha and Shanghai.
Fliggy's data shows that holiday travel bookings in some "niche" or lesser-known destinations such as Quanzhou of Fujian province, Zhuhai of Guangdong province, Foshan of Guangdong province, Beihai of Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region, Luoyang, Ningbo of Zhejiang province, Taizhou of Zhejiang province, Qingdao and others have surged over 20 times compared to the previous year.

University offers love, happiness courses
In recent years, Tianjin University has introduced "love and happiness" as a discipline on campus, offering courses on the subjects and incorporating them into the general elective curriculum.
The courses have become some of the most sought-after classes on campus, gaining popularity among students who long to find love and experience happiness amid their academic pursuits.
A doctoral student who boasts outstanding research achievements expressed his feelings to China Youth Daily, stating that love is much more challenging than research.
"Research can be achieved through effort, but not love," said the student, who declined to give his name.
After attending the courses, students are not expected to immediately find a partner, nor will they necessarily experience an overwhelming sense of happiness. However, they may discover subtle positive changes within themselves, some say.
Undergraduate student Zhong Hongkun said that he used to think pursuing happiness was like chasing an elusive shooting star. However, he now realizes that happiness comes from within.
This realization has given him the courage to face difficulties and setbacks on his life journey.
Wang Xiaoling, who teaches the love course at Tianjin University's mental health education center, is frequently asked by students, "Can taking the love course help me find a partner " She said she always smiles in response and says that it is not a "course on finding a partner", nor does it teach dating skills.
With over 10 years of experience in mental health education, Wang has discovered that relationship issues and emotional confusion are common concerns among students seeking psychological counseling.
According to the 2022 College Students' Mental Health Status Survey Report jointly published by the Institute of Psychology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Social Sciences Academic Press last year, college students in romantic relationships had the lowest scores in "depression" and "boredom". Meanwhile, those who wanted to "find a partner" were more prone to anxiety.
The love course at Tianjin University teaches students how to better communicate and interact with others, how to establish healthy views on love, marriage and family, and how to enhance their capacity for love, including self-love, love for their families and love for their country. "Whether or not they find a partner is not the standard for assessing their success in the course," Wang said.
She said she hoped students can develop the ability to love and gain more happiness through what they learn in the classroom.
Practice is a vital part of the love and happiness courses.
During a class on "positive emotions" that is part of the happiness course taught by Zhao Jianbo, deputy director of the School of Earth System Science at Tianjin University, students shared milk tea and desserts, sang with the teacher and exchanged messages in their online group chat whenever they had ideas.
In a joyful and relaxed atmosphere, Zhao discussed psychological experiments and taught scientific methods for emotional regulation. "Happiness doesn't have a formula, but it can be experienced," Zhao said. "Although the classroom interactions may seem fun, each part actually combines theoretical research results and focuses on providing students with practical methods that are simple and effective."
Wu Fengwei, a teacher specializing in quality development at Tianjin University's mental health education center, held one of his recent happiness classes at an outdoor training ground. During the class, he divided students into groups and engaged them in games or tasks.
"Students in the class come from different grades and faculties, and they are relatively unfamiliar with each other. Through outdoor experiences, previously unfamiliar students establish contact and emotional connections, which itself is a relaxing and happy experience," Wu said.
Meanwhile, in Wang's love class, she gave communication assignments to her students, including having them interview their parents, during which their parents are invited to discuss matters such as the most touching moments of their lives or the qualities they admire or cannot accept in each other. "Many students are pleasantly surprised to find that such conversations can be very rewarding to both themselves and their parents. Many students even invite their parents to attend the class with them online and listen in," Wang said.
The love course also employs various experiential teaching methods, including simulated confessions to encourage students to be more courageous, as well as simulated arguments to help them learn to consider others' perspectives and express themselves reasonably. Additionally, volunteer activities and social events have been organized to enhance students' interpersonal skills.
Tianjin University is among the first universities in China to offer love and happiness courses. Other universities, including Wuhan University in Hubei province and Xiamen University in Fujian province, also have similar courses.

大学开设爱情与幸福课程
近年来，天津大学在校园内引入了“爱情与幸福”作为一门学科，提供相关课程并纳入通识选修课程中。
这些课程已经成为校园内最受欢迎的课程之一，受到渴望在学业中找到爱情并体验幸福的学生们的青睐。
一位博士生在向《中国青年报》表达自己的感受时表示，爱情比研究更具挑战性。“研究可以通过努力实现，但爱情不行，”这位学生拒绝透露姓名。
在参加课程后，学生们并不期望立即找到伴侣，也不一定会经历一种压倒性的幸福感。然而，有人表示他们可能在自己内心发现一些微妙的积极变化。
本科生钟宏坤表示，他曾经认为追求幸福就像追逐一颗难以捉摸的流星。然而，他现在意识到幸福源于内心。
这一认识让他有了勇气面对人生旅程中的困难和挫折。
在天津大学心理健康教育中心教授爱情课程的王晓玲经常被学生问到：“上爱情课能帮助我找到伴侣吗？”她表示，她总是微笑着回答说，这不是一门“找伴侣的课程”，也不教授约会技巧。
拥有超过10年心理健康教育经验的王晓玲发现，在寻求心理咨询的学生中，关系问题和情感困扰是常见的关切。
根据去年由中国科学院心理研究所和社会科学文献出版社联合发布的《2022年大学生心理健康状况调查报告》，谈恋爱的大学生在“抑郁”和“无聊”方面得分最低。与此同时，那些想“找到伴侣”的人更容易焦虑。
天津大学的爱情课程教授学生如何更好地与他人沟通和互动，如何树立健康的爱情、婚姻和家庭观念，以及如何增强他们的爱的能力，包括自爱、对家庭的爱和对国家的爱。“是否找到伴侣不是评估他们在课程中成功的标准，”王晓玲说。
她表示，她希望学生能够通过在课堂上学到的知识培养爱的能力并获得更多幸福。
实践是爱情与幸福课程的重要组成部分。
在天津大学地球系统科学学院副院长赵建波授课的幸福课程中，有一堂关于“积极情感”的课，学生们共享奶茶和甜点，与老师一起唱歌，并在他们的在线群聊中交流想法。
在欢快轻松的氛围中，赵建波讨论了心理学实验，并教授了情感调节的科学方法。“幸福没有一个公式，但可以体验，”赵建波说。“尽管课堂互动可能看起来很有趣，但每个部分实际上都结合了理论研究成果，并侧重于为学生提供简单而有效的实用方法。”
天津大学心理健康教育中心负责素质发展的吴丰伟在最近的一堂幸福课上在一个户外训练场上进行。在课堂上，他将学生分成小组，让他们参与游戏或任务。
吴丰伟说：“课堂上的学生来自不同年级和学院，他们之间相对陌生。通过户外体验，之前不熟悉的学生们建立了联系和情感纽带，这本身就是一种轻松愉快的经历。
与此同时，在王晓玲的爱情课堂上，她给学生们布置了沟通作业，包括让他们采访父母，父母被邀请讨论诸如他们生命中最感人的时刻或彼此欣赏或不能接受的品质等事项。“许多学生惊喜地发现，这样的对话对他们自己和父母来说都是非常有益的。许多学生甚至邀请父母在线参加课堂并聆听，”王晓玲说。
爱情课程还采用各种体验式的教学方法，包括模拟告白以鼓励学生更加勇敢，以及模拟争论以帮助他们学会考虑他人的观点并理性表达自己。此外，还组织了志愿者活动和社交活动，提升学生的人际交往技能。
天津大学是中国最早提供爱情与幸福课程的大学之一。其他大学，包括湖北省武汉大学和福建省厦门大学，也开设了类似的课程。2024年高考英语时文阅读与强化练习
