1 . Actress Jia Ling has become a hit on social media these days during the Chinese Lunar New Year. People were amazed by how she lost 50 kilograms while making her movie Yolo (Re La Gun Tang). This made everyone talk about living a health y lifestyle. Many people on Weibo were discussing Jia’s weight loss journey, like “Jia’s story of losing weight” and “Jia Ling completely surprised me.” They were wondering if it’s time to start to develop healthier habits, especially during the Spring Festival.
One moviegoer (常看电影的人) named Li Qiaoya, who goes to the gym to lose weight, said. “Her success is really inspiring and is worth seeing in the movie.” Li also felt guilty for eating too much during the Spring Festival.
Jia used to be known for her funny laughter and emotional performances. She shared her new look after losing weight on social media, and her fans were shocked at her mandibular line (下颌线) and how radiant (容光焕发的) she looked. Jia said that the movie is not about boxing or losing weight, but a heartwarming story of learning to love yourself.”
However, not everyone agrees with Jia’s weight losing plan. To finish filming the movie, Jia had to gain 20 kilograms before starting to lose weight. “Not everyone can deal with the challenge of losing so much weight,” said Jiang Chong, a fitness expert from Chongqing. “It’s not just a physical challenge, but also a mental (心理上的， 精神上的) one.”
In interview s before the movie was released (发布), Jia emphasized (强调) the importance of getting realistic (切实可行的) goals when talking about her weight losing journey. She also said that. having achievable goals is important. It’s not a bad thing to have a movie reminding many people to lose weight in a health y way. It’s good to have a schedule (日程) and stick to it, instead of doing extreme (极端的) things to lose weight.”

2 . My name is Valeriia. I’m from Kyrgyzstan and I’m studying in a university in Xi’an. I’ve been to some cities in China, such as Shanghai, Tianjin and Beijing, but I’m always happy when I come back to Xi’an. It is warmer and more colorful than Beijing. The best thing in Shaanxi Province for me is mountains. I used to see mountains around the city in my childhood. And I really love it. So, Xi’an city in Shaanxi Province feels like my second hometown in China.
Culture is another thing which can surprise people. In China, we can see all those stories about ancient China like Silk Road, wars and so on. We can feel the history when we are walking in city, hear it by listening to drums of Bell Tower, see it by looking at Terracotta Warriors, touch it by touching stones of Xi’an City Wall.
As we know, now environment has been a worldwide problem and it was exciting to know the government is trying to make Xi’an a Sponge City. Rains can be dangerous sometimes and I believe that after realizing the plan, the city will be safer in rain seasons and can be used as an example for others.
What I really want to say is that the Chinese government gives great chances to foreigners not only to get education, but also to get knowledge about China, the country with so long history and fantastic language.
