I always remember a thing that happened last month. When I was walking on my way home, I felt a little tired and wanted to have a rest. So I sat on a bench (长椅) to enjoy the warm sunshine in the park. Later, an old man sat next to me. His clothes were old and dirty and his face was pale (苍白的).
It seemed that I should do something to help him. So I quickly went to a shop near the park and bought some food and water for him.
When I returned to the park, he was still sitting there alone. So I sat next to him and gave the food and water to him. We talked a lot in the following two hours. Before I left, he told me that it was the happiest day for him during nearly ten years. He said that most people chose to stay far away from him instead of staying with him when they saw him. Then I realized that kindness could really warm others a lot when they were in need. Sometimes, we just need a chance to open our heart to other people. I felt happy that I had such a chance that day.

Warmth is the best thing in life. There’s no denying that there are various ways to spread our warmth.

法国农民在巴黎抗议
French farmers were angry with their government. They blocked roads around Paris, the capital city of France.
There were many reasons for the farmers’ anger. It was more difficult for them to make a living. Inflation (通货膨胀) in France increased because of high energy prices. It made food more expensive for farmers to produce.
The war in Ukraine caused higher prices, especially for fertilizers (化肥). The farmers were also angry because the government was not protecting them from cheaper food coming from other countries, especially Eastern Europe. Finally, they were mad at European Union rules about the environment, which added to the costs of doing business.
The farmers blocked major highways around Paris. They parked their tractors (拖拉机) on main roads to stop traffic going in and out of the city. They also dumped smelly agricultural waste outside government offices. Farmer Christophe Rossignol said, “We’ve come to protect French agriculture. We go from crisis (危机) to crisis.” Another farmer said, “Parisians (巴黎人) are going to be hungry.
The goal is to starve Parisians.” A large farmers’ union said, “Our aim is to put pressure on the government so that we can quickly find a solution for a way out of the crisis.” Some tractors had messages that said, “No food without farmers” and “The end of us would mean you will get hungry.”

机器人扭秧歌——2025 年央视春晚
《秧BOT》节目亮相
Robots Performing Yangko (秧歌), a special show named YangBOT took place during China’s most popular TV event, the CCTV Spring Festival Gala on January 28, 2025. Famous director Zhang Yimou combined traditional Chinese folk dance (yangko) with modern technology to create this amazing performance.
Dozens of humanoid robots dressed in bright clothes danced yangko perfectly. They twirled red handkerchiefs and formed beautiful patterns on the stage. These robots were made by Unitree (宇树科技), a leading Chinese robotics company. The success wasn’t new—in 2021, Unitree’s robot cows had already danced for singer Andy Lau.
The robots learned their dance steps through artificial intelligence (AI). They used special sensors called “laser navigation” (激光导航) to move safely without falling. Strong robot joints (关节) allowed them to perform difficult moves like high kicks. Director Zhang said, “This performance isn’t just entertainment (娱乐). It shows how robots can help keep old traditions alive in modern times.”
Millions of people loved the show. On social media, videos of “Robot Yangko” became instant hits. Teenagers thought it was “so cool”, while older viewers enjoyed the robots’ funny expressions and lively festival atmosphere (气氛). Many fans said it felt like “dancing between the past and the future.”
This special program made people proud of China’s technological achievements and cultural heritage. As one viewer commented “It’s not just robots dancing—it’s our whole country’s story!”
