On a video online, fish-shaped lanterns move in the air as if they are swimming in the water. Students from Shenzhen Yangang Middle School invented these AI fish lanterns. They are all members of the school science club. Tan Wenbo is a high-school senior student who is responsible for the system’s (系统) development. He explained that a sensor (传感器) on the head of a lantern would recognize (辨别) different shapes. Then it would send the result to drive the paper fish to perform moves. By the time Jiang Jiahan joined the club, the first model was completed. “The old model’s weight was too heavy to carry,” he said. Then he made lanterns out of Xuan paper (宣纸) and iron wiring (铁线). The improvement successfully cut the lantern’s weight from five kilograms to two kilograms.
Yang Tao worked on the AI system’s coding (编码) part. He said he had no programming experience before. Then he taught himself to code after joining the fish-lantern project. Besides the AI fish lantern, members of the science club are also using their knowledge on their scientific inventions. For example, Qiu Yiyuan created a hand-seized (手持的) robot car that can lift small objects. Zhang Qiang is the teacher of the club. He says the school hopes that students can discover their interests freely and prepare for their future.

Ryan tried to defend (为……辩解) himself, but then Michael encouraged the other classmates to laugh at him.
Later, Ryan went to his best friend, Jerry, and angrily told him what had happened. After listening carefully, Jerry suggested that Ryan write a letter to Michael.
“You can really give him a piece of your mind,” Jerry said. Ryan quickly wrote a strongly worded letter and then showed it to Jerry.
“Right, right,” Jerry said loudly. “This is exactly what I want. Give him a good scolding (责骂). You wrote it really well, Ryan.”
But when Ryan was about to put the letter into an envelope, Jerry stopped him and asked, “What are you going to do with it ”
“Send it,” Ryan replied, confused.

When you find math hard, you usually ask teachers or parents for help. But now, doctors can help you too!
On Oct 8, 2024, Shanghai opened a special clinic (门诊) for children who have problems with math and spatial (空间的) understanding. On that day, six students went there with their parents.
At the clinic, doctors checked how well the students understood math and their spatial skills, and then made plans to help them learn better. They even had special educational games with VR and AR technologies to help students.
A recent study found that about 8. 97 percent of children at primary school in China have trouble with math and spatial skills, reported Shanghai Daily. Among them, 11.57 percent are in low grades, 10.07 percent are in middle grades and 4.76 percent are in high grades.
The clinic is open every Tuesday. It’s very popular with days getting fully booked.
Special clinics for helping with learning problems are becoming common in China, especially in big cities like Shanghai, Beijing, Chengdu, and Nanjing.
However, experts remind parents that these clinics may help students, but they can’t magically turn them into top students. It’s more important to have realistic (实际的) expectations. Then the results may be acceptable.
Shi Ping from Tianjin Children’s Hospital says that putting too much pressure on kids can sometimes make learning harder. Parents should think about how they teach their kids and consider making some changes.
After all, just as an expert said, “Doing well in school shouldn’t be the only thing that matters in a child’s life.”

In 2008, Zhang Guimei, a hard-working teacher, founded a free girls-only senior high school in Huaping county (县), Yunnan Province. Over the past 16 years, she has helped over 2,000 girls from poor villages to go to university. Her story, made into a TV series (电视剧) named She and Her Girls (《山花烂漫时》), has been well-received since it came out on September 10, 2024.
The series is successful because it feels real. Instead of showing Zhang’s life to be one full of pain, it focuses on (专注于) her strength to deal with problems. In the poor villages of Huaping county, people believe it’s pointless (没有意义) for girls to receive an education. Because of this, many girls are forced to drop out of school at a young age. To help them come back to school, Zhang and other teachers make many home visits. They never give up, even when villagers are unsupportive.
From raising money to enrolling (招收) students, Zhang meets problems every step of the way. However, she is always ready for whatever life throws at her. Showing Zhang’s ability to face challenges, the series tells her story in an inspiring (鼓舞人心的) way that wins people’s hearts.
In the series Zhang’s work brings her great joy. Her happiness comes from the support of the government and her co-workers. Seeing her students grow in a safe and healthy environment also gives her a sense of achievement. Even when things go against her will, she is able to see the bright side.
The series tells us that the life of a great person should not only be seen as one of going through hard times. Instead, it’s a life that is both hard and beautiful.

Pickleball (匹克球), a relaxing sport that has been around since the 1960s, is becoming popular in China. Young people are growing especially interested in the game. Pickleball has been played in big cities, such as Beijing and Shanghai. Young people in Anhui, Shandong, Zhejiang, Sichuan, Hubei, Guizhou and Yunnan provinces are also interested in the sport and setting up clubs.
The sport of pickleball, invented in 1965 in the US, is a game in which two or four players hit a ball over a net (网). It looks like tennis but is played on a badminton court (羽毛球场) with a paddle (球拍). The rules of the game are simple with little running needed, making it easy to start for players of all ages and skill levels (水平).
Zhou Minghao, who works for a fintech (金融科技) company in Chongqing, started to play pickleball in May, 2024. “As a sports lover, I have tried many sports and got several major injuries (重伤), so I decided to play pickleball, which is safe,” he said. And this makes pickleball a sport almost for anyone, anywhere and anytime.
Wu Xiaomeng from Chongqing agrees. He happened to learn about pickleball and tried it out with some friends in September, 2024. “It is an equal (平等的) game for both men and women, as it requires more skill than physical power,” he said. “It is a good social activity as anyone can easily pick out this sport and play it for fun. I believe this sport can go far in China.”
