【推荐1】Li Ziqi, who is a 32-year-old blogger, shows her videos about different kinds of traditional Chinese food and has become hot on micro blog.
She and her team like showing the whole process from the field to the table. For example, in her video about spicy tofu, she starts with harvesting the soybeans, grinding them into powder and making the powder into tofu, then to cook it. In another video about soy sauce, she shows how to plant the soybeans in the field.
Yet recently a question about her has become hot on micro blog: “Are Li Ziqi’s videos a kind of cultural export?” Her videos are about daily life, and many people argue that she is not a symbol of Chinese culture.
In fact, Chinese culture has many aspects and very few people dare call themselves to be a “symbol” of it. Li’s videos have little words or conversations, and she has never said anything about that. However, through her videos, Li has spread Chinese culture to the world. She lets the world know that Chinese people are good at making art out of simple fresh materials. She makes the world see how they live their daily lives. And it is these that have captured the hearts of her fans around the world.
It is unnecessary to discuss whether Li’s videos are cultural export or not. She just lets the world know and love Chinese culture. That’s all.

If Dave hadn’t believed in making his dreams come true, none of this would have happened. Dave left his job two weeks after he had bought a skateboard and decided to go on a journey. He wanted this journey to be about something more than him, so he created an association that would raise money for charities. “If people follow my journey and donations, then I’m doing many people a lot of good,” said Dave. This journey had plenty of challenges. He traveled across the Australian desert (沙漠) where temperatures reached 48℃ in the day and 0℃ at night. He had a serious accident in Adelaide when he jumped on a piece of metal that cut through his foot.
Dave helped raise more than ￡50,000 for children’s charities, wrote a book and encouraged others to follow in his footsteps. I wish we had more people like him leading the way!

【推荐3】Many people might, when they see something beautiful, simply say it is beautiful. But Ma Baoli, a China Southern Airlines pilot known as “poetic captain”, recites ancient Chinese poetry instead.
While flying over the Yellow River, he thinks of this poem: “Do you not see the Yellow River come from the sky, rushing into the sea, and never come back?” Above the Yangtze River, he recites: “Wave after wave, the Yangtze River rushes east, sweeping away with it all our heroes.”
Ma likes reading poetry in his spare time. During the flights, he sometimes shares poems with passengers about the places they are flying over after broadcasting (播送) basic flight information. The perfect mix of poem and flying is deeply loved by the Chinese people and has won him many fans. On Sina Weibo, people expressed their admiration for Ma and their wish to hear his poetic broadcasts on his flights. “There is a great love for poetry. In fact, many Chinese people have a special feeling for it,” said Ma.
His father used to paint on the white walls of their house and write poems to go with the paintings. As a child, he enjoyed watching his father do these things and listening to him recite poems. It planted a love of ancient poetry in his early heart.
No wonder his love for poetry has now become a family tradition. Like the father, Ma’s daughters, aged 6 and 9, are also interested in poetry and traditional Chinese culture. “Chinese classical poetry and traditional culture have brought me a wonderful experience. I hope my children can feel the same way,” says Ma Baoli.
