In the 2024 Spring Festival Gala (春节联欢晚会), which program impressed (使……印象深刻) you most? Maybe you will say 《山河诗长安》. And it’s also my favorite program. I was shocked by the scene that thousands of people recite(朗诵) a poem by Li Bai together. Li Bai, who is also called “immortal poet (诗仙) ” is one of the greatest poets in the Tang Dynasty. Most of his poems were produced in the rise and fall period of the Tang Dynasty. Many people think he is romantic (浪漫的) and free, just like an immortal (神仙). However, in the Chinese cartoon movie《长安三万里》, we see a different Li Bai.
In the movie, Li dreams about being an officer. But he faces challenges after challenges. He can’t take keju (科举) because of his family. Later, he makes a mistake and is banished (流放). He has difficulties and problems just like every one of us.
However, his poems give us inspiration and confidence (自信), especially when we are in hard times. When he enjoyed nature, he said, “Its torrent dashes down three thousand feet from high; As if the silver river fell from the blue sky (飞流直下三千尺，疑是银河落九天).” When he had a setback (挫折), he said, “Heaven has made us talents; we’re not made in vain. A thousand gold coins spent, more will turn up again (天生我材必有用，千金散尽还复来).”
Li Bai might not be as perfect as we think. But it doesn’t really matter. Maybe we should thank his imperfect life, or we will lose a great poet in the world. As long as his poems are here with us, he is always the “immortal” in our hearts.

2 . Doorbells are the bells for people to ring at a door. When someone hears it, he or she can open the door. Do you know that you can ring a doorbell for fish, too?
Every spring, millions of fish migrate (洄游) along the river in the city to find better places to lay eggs. But in the river, there are many locks (水闸). They stop fish from swimming through. Weerd Lock in Utrecht, is the fourth largest city in the Netherlands. When fish get there, they have to wait a long time before the lock opens for boats to pass through. The lock keeper (看守者) there is glad to open the lock for fish, but he cannot tell when fish want to get through. So in 2021, Mark van Heukelum, a scientist, came up with a good idea to help solve this problem by using the fish doorbell.
Under the water near the lock, there’s a camera. People around the world can visit a website to see fish through the camera. When you see a group of fish waiting, you can ring the doorbell on the screen. And when the lock keeper notices it, he will open the lock for the fish.
In its first spring season in 2021, people around the world rang the fish doorbell more than. 100,000 times. If you want to join them to help fish, visit the website and ring the fish doorbell next spring!

3 . 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.”
