Sanxingdui, the ruins of the capital of the ancient Shu,a Kingdom of over 4,000 years ago, is located in Guanghan City, Sichuan province. The site covers an area of 120,000 square meters. In 1986,a great number of relics were brought to light, six of which are evaluated as national treasures, representing the best of copper arts in China. Sanxindui is recognized as one of the world's most important ancient sites because of its vast size, age and cultural contents.

The ancient Kingdom of Shu, dating from 4,800 to 2,600 years ago, still has many unsolved mysteries, but visitors to the Sanxingdui Museum are lucky enough to be able to unlock some of its history and culture.

Chinese delivery driver, Gao Zhixiao, was featured on the cover of Time magazine in March because of his sense of commitment. Alongside five others, he was picked by the magazine as one of heroes among the novel coronavirus outbreak.

Ever since COVID-19 broke out, many restaurants shut down or switched to takeout-only services. Millions of people have been staying at home to avoid getting infected. “People choose to order food online or buy fruit and vegetables to cook at home,” Gao told Time. As a result, delivery orders dramatically increased, placing a huge burden on delivery company.

Born into a poor family in the Ningxia Hui autonomous region, Gao started to make a living in Beijing at age 16. After the novel coronavirus broke out, Gao hesitated for a second to continue working, but then picked up orders because he thought customers might be in need.

Due to the danger of person-to-person transmission, Gao must take care to avoid spreading viruses during his route around Beijing, including taking a regular health test and spending 20 minutes disinfecting his motorcycle and clothes each morning. Besides delivering goods, Gao once willingly cooked for an elderly customer who was living alone at her home.

It is the commitment of ordinary people like Gao that has made the biggest contributions in the fight against COVID-19.

Many of us like to dine out and treat ourselves to delicious food. Among the top choices are hearty dishes with high-fat meat, despite the fact that they may be unhealthy. Plant-based food, however, gives diners a smarter choice.

According to CGTN, two popular chains—KFC and Starbucks—announced in April they were debuting items featuring meat substitutes in China. The plant-based meat substitute has been popular in the US and the UK for years and offers meat-lovers a healthy alternative to an otherwise unhealthy indulgence. Despite the negative impacts on our health, the tempting taste and convenience of fast food have made it a popular option across the world for decades. But with the introduction of the plant-based food, it's likely that fast food won't be considered as “junk food” any more, as the calorie intake for typical fast food items will be reduced. The meat substitute also provides rich protein and different minerals and vitamins while still whetting our taste buds.

Another factor contributing to the product's popularity is a new breed of environmentally-aware consumers. On average producing 1 kilogram of meat emits 36. 4 kilograms of carbon dioxide. With such a high carbon emission, many environmentalists choose to cut down on the intake of meat, making the plant-based diet characterized by environmental protection a popular choice. Unveiled at the end of April, plant-based food seemed to come at a time when increased animal-human interactions are blamed for the coronavirus, which is believed to have been transmitted to humans through an intermediate animal host. Therefore, the debut of meatless dishes means a safer choice for consumers.

Without doubt, the newcomers on the Chinese table represent a change in people's dietary lifestyle that is heading toward "healthy, environmentally-friendly and less animal-human interaction", CGTN noted.

If you see someone collapse（晕倒）, perhaps as a result of a heart attack, what can you do while you wait for an ambulance? Chen Wenqiaochu set a good example when he was 14. He performed CPR on a cleaner at his school, saving the man's life in 2013. Chen showed that knowing how to perform CPR can be beneficial.

According to medical experts, there is a "golden period", the first four minutes of a heart attack, when CPR is most effective in saving the person's life. On Aug. 24, a joint guideline was issued by the Ministry of Education and Red Cross Society of China. It asks all public schools nationwide to provide first-aid courses, including CPR training, as part of health education. CPR is not hard to grasp. All that one needs to learn is how to observe and decide if a person is unconscious, where to press on the patient's chest, and how to blow air through the mouth and into the lungs.

Unfortunately, less than 1 percent of Chinese adults have mastered the skill of CPR, while many have never heard of it. A 2019 survey from the Development Research Center (DRC) of the State Council noted that although 64.6 percent of schools have opened health education courses, the teaching results are not satisfactory, according to China Youth Daily.

Zhao Shengyu, 18, a graduate from a Shandong high school, recalled her first time to be taught CPR in the class. "No model, video or practice was included. I realized the acts I had been taught orally had lots of errors after I was trained another time in a medical school," she said. Based on her own experience, Zhao said more qualified first-aid courses in schools are necessary. Ding Banghan, a doctor from Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Chinese Medicine, is a strong supporter for bringing first-aid knowledge into the classroom. "The first-aid course in schools is key for its popularization," said Ding.

Apart from China, many countries have attached importance to the popularization of first-aid training, including CPR.
