Have you ever heard of the song “The story of the red-crowned crane”? It is about a girl called Xu Xiujuan.
Xiujuan was born in Zhalong, Heilongjiang Province in 1964. Her father’s job was to look after red-crowned cranes. Xiujuan started helping her father when she was young. She soon showed a great love for these white birds. She became good at raising them. When Xiujuan was 21, she got a job at a nature reserve in Jiangsu Province. She enjoyed taking care of the baby cranes. If a bird became sick, she took good care of it and stayed with it every day until it was strong enough to fly again.
In September 1987, one of the birds went missing. The workers in the nature reserve looked everywhere, but no one could find it. Xiujuan was very worried. She looked for it day and night for two days. On the second night, while she was looking for the missing bird, she fell into a river and died. She was only 23.

While the mobile Internet is changing the way we live, more and more old people in China are getting in on the digital world, although they will have some trouble.
Yang Su is among them. He is both a pianist of Shenzhen Symphony Orchestra (交响乐团), a 61-year-old professional vlogger (视频博主). With more than 2.3 million followers on China’s famous short video app “Douyin”, his videos have been watched by over 1 million times.
“Three years ago, my son put a short video of me playing the piano at home on ‘Douyin’, and hours later it was played over 1 million times,” Yang remembered.
