Letters Brought Back to Life

Letters as a way of communication have long given way to phone calls and WeChat messages. But a TV show, Letters Alive, is helping bring this old way to keep in touch back into the 1 .

Letters Alive took its idea from a UK program with a similar name, Letters Live. Both shows 2 famous actors and actresses, but there is no gossip, no eye-catching visual eﬀects. Instead, it’s just one person walking up to a microphone and reading a letter.

But these are not just any letters. They vary greatly in time and subjects. There is, for example, a passionate letter that famous painter Huang Yongyu wrote to playwright Cao Yu 30 years ago to 3 his lack of creativity. There is also a(n) 4 note from Spring and Autumn Period written by two ordinary young soldiers to their elder brother to report their lives in the war zone.

Compared to published texts, letters also come with a personal 5 .

One example from Letters Live was a note of 6 from the mother of a dying child to JK Rowling, author of the Harry Potter books. It read: “Mrs Rowling, cancer threatened to take everything from my daughter, and your books turned out to be the castle we so 7 needed to hide in.”

According to Guan Zhengwen, the director of Letters Alive, it is this kind of 8 behind every letter that strikes a harmony with the audience. “It’s a thing of the past that entertainment shows 9 themselves only with pretty faces,” Guan told Sohu News. “Entertainment industry is starting to switch to a(n) 10 on wisdom and intelligence.”

Museums Rethink What to Do with Their African Art Collections

Recently, a discussion is happening in museums around the world over the volume of African art in their collections. Officials in Germany and the Netherlands have announced plans to return art and artifacts（文物）taken from Africa during the 1 period. And more museum staff are meeting on the topic across Europe.

According to the most commonly 2 figures from UNESCO（United Nations Educational, Scientifie and Cultural Organization）, 90% to 95%of sub-Saharan cultural artifacts are 3 outside Africa. Many were taken by force long ago and ended up in museums across Europe and North America.

At the Africa Museum in Belgium, director Guido Gryseels says 85 percent of the-museum’s collection comes from the Congo-the site of Belgium’s 4 colony in Central Africa. For decades, Congolese leaders have asked for these objects to be returned. Most of their 5 , and those by African countries to other museums, have been refused.

But recent events in Europe have 6 the possibility of returns at a much larger scale. In addition to the plans announced in Germany, last year France conducted a study of how much African art French museums are holding and made 7 about what to do with it.

The study recommended the return of a wide range of objects taken by force. The suggestion got mixed 8 in France, where there are at least 90000 African items in museums.

In France, some people have suggested returns could leave shelves 9 in French museums. Cecile Fromont, a French historian of Central African art, says that’s not going to happen. One way of thinking about it, she says, is that more African art can go on display.

However, Guido Gryseels of the Africa Museum in Belgium 10 that attitudes are changing. He says he’s in discussion with the Congo to return works.

Donald Trump 1 his place as the United States’ 45th president after crossing the 270 electoral vote threshold(门槛) on November 9. The 70-year-old Republican will take over from Barack Obama, a two-term president to occupy the White House.

The rise of Trump, a celebrity businessman with no previous experience in the 2 or elected office, surprised nearly everyone in politics. Trump’s victory over Clinton will end eight years of Democratic 3 of the White House. He will govern with Congress fully under Republican control and lead a country deeply 4 by his campaign against Clinton. Given the numerous Republicans who never backed him, Trump will have to face divisions within his own party, too.

As he claimed victory, Trump urged Americans to “come together as one united people.” “I pledge to every citizen of our land that I will be president for all Americans,” he said in his victory speech. Striking a 5 tone, Trump continued that he would ask a few of those who had chosen not to support him for 6 and help so that “we can work together and unify our great country.”

As president, Trump’s government agenda remains unclear. The president-elect has promised to bring changes to the United States. He said he would build a wall along the U.S-Mexico border to stop immigrants from coming into the country 7 , suspend immigration from countries with ties to terrorist groups, and 8 with foreign governments such as those of Russia and China. Trump has also promised to prioritize the economic growth that creates jobs and 9 incomes for all Americans.

Trump is a wild card, many voters said, but he definitely has a chance to be a successful president as long as he recognizes the responsibilities he 10 and follows through on his promises.
