Xi Zhinong was born in a small town in Yunnan Province. When he was young, he always looked forward to getting close to nature.

In 1983, Xi helped make a documentary (纪录片) about birds. That experience led him to lear n photography (摄影) and take photos of flying birds.

In the 1980s, cameras were very expensive. Xi managed to borrow a camera and started to learn how to use it. During that time, the library became his favorite place where he first read some magazines about nature. Then in 1990, Xi started to work for Animal World of CCTV as a photographer.

In 1992, a research program was organized to protect a kind of remarkable monkeys which only live in China. Xi attended the program. The home of these monkeys usually has half-a-year-long winters. It was really a great challenge for Xi’s work, but he never gave up. “I didn’t see the monkeys in the wild until I went into the mountains for the third time,” said Xi. He went into the snow mountains six times just to get valuable photos of those unusual monkeys. Three years later, Xi’s works won many international prizes. People around the world began to pay attention to the protection of wild animals in China. And he is the first Chinese winner of the world Wildlife Photographer of the Year.

Many foreigners who visit Beijing are interested in the old lanes (巷子) there. Chinese call them Beijing hutong. Many of them appeared hundreds of years ago during the Ming and Qing dynasties. And now, they keep not only the traditional culture but also the way of the life in the past.

Some Beijing hutong have interesting names, which tell their location or history. For example, Nanluogu Lane is the busies hutong in Beijing and it is about 787 meters long. And on the west of Nanluogu Lane is Mao’er Lane. There are many great and famous places along this hutong.

Along Beijing hutong, there are usually traditional courtyard compounds (筑有围墙的院子), which are called siheyuan. Many Beijing people grow up in siheyuan. And when they were young, they all experienced running and playing in Beijing hutong.

The famous writer, Laoshe, was born in siheyuan in the west of Beijing city. What he experienced in hutong when he was young was so important for him to create his novels. And even after he was away from Beijing for 20 years, he still clearly remembered and wrote them into his novel named Four Generations under One Roof.

During the Two Sessions in 2024, the founder of 360, Zhou Hongwei talked about the development of AI in China.     31    .

In fact, AI has been used in more and more areas these years, including education. That means AI can help children learn in several ways.

AI can be used in children’s personalized (个性化的) learning.

AI can know better about students, including their advantages, weaknesses, skills, learning favorites, learning needs, and so on.     32    . And these plans can help students concentrate on the areas that they need to improve at their own ability.

AI can be used in children’s interactive (交互的) learning

    33    . Things like interactive learning apps and educational games can make children’s learning more interesting. What’s more, they can make students interested in one subject at once. This kind of active learning is sure to be more helpful than studying alone.

    34    .

AI can examine students’ work and provide them with personalized advice and help. For example, ChatGPT can answer students’ questions quickly in a private way. This kind of advice and answers can help students understand and use the knowledge better.

AI can provide education with greater resources (资源).

AI can make many students’ learning resources richer and wider, like electronic textbooks, online classes, and study apps.

    35    . By using AI, students can study smarter and reach higher levels of learning and success.
