4 . A popular short video series titled Escape From the British Museum has captivated millions of viewers and sparked a renewed call to repatriate (遣送) unlawfully taken relics. The three-part series tells the story of a jade teapot that comes to life and embarks on a journey from the British Museum back to China. With over 340 million views and nearly 2 million comments on Douyin, a short-video platform, the series has had a significant effect.
In the story, the jade teapot transforms into a young woman and escapes from the museum. She meets a Chinese journalist named Zhang Yongan in the United Kingdom and implores him to take her back to China. Upon returning home, she not only travels across the country but also carries “letters” written by other artifacts in the museum to their respective families in China.
The series was created by two young Chinese vloggers using the pseudonyms (网名) “Jianbing Guozai” and “Xiatian Meimei”. Zhang Jiajun, whose real name is “Jianbing Guozai”, graduated from Sichuan University of Media and Communications.
Inspiration for the series came from a netizen’s suggestion to create a cartoon series where artifacts come to life and return home for Chinese New Year. Zhang turned this idea into a video and spent three months researching the British Museum and crafting the storyline.
The videos have deeply moved netizens, with scenes like “writing brushstrokes on English newspapers” and intense dialogues among the artifacts striking an emotional chord. In the comments, many netizens expressed their desire for cultural artifacts overseas to return home with dignity and honor.
The creator of the series, Zhang Jiajun, expresses gratitude for the love the series has received and hopes that more attention would be paid to the issue of cultural relics located overseas.

5 . When Erika and Cody Archie posted a video to TikTok explaining how they would be charging their then-18-year-old daughter Kylee rent, the reaction was split. One commenter called it a “punishment”. Another said, “I don’t see anything wrong with it. It helps them learn responsibility.” A third added, “Hell no, that’s their home.”
The video ended up going viral, receiving over 700,000 views. Despite the mixed response, Cody is sure they’ve made the right decision. “This is our way of preparing her and making sure she knows that things aren’t free,” he tells Newsweek, “Part of becoming an adult is knowing that you have to either pay rent or you’ll have a house payment. Our hope is that by doing all this, we’re preparing her for the world.”
According to recent figures from the U.S. Census Bureau, 58 percent of 18-to 24-year-olds are living with their parents. While staying at home has benefits for young people, such as allowing them to pay off their debts or save, having an extra person under their roof means higher costs for parents.
A recent survey conducted by Redfield Wilton Strategies for Newsweek asked 1,500 U.S. adults their thoughts on parents charging their adult children rent. Around 57 percent said that adult children moving back home should pay for the privilege, even if their parents “do not need the money”. Only 28 percent felt that adult children should live rent-free.
A study conducted by Lending Tree produced similar results. While 85 percent of parents surveyed said they’d let their adult children move home, 73 percent would charge them rent. Lending Tree found the percentage of adults between 24 and 40 living with their parents was the highest in three states: Hawaii (21.6 percent), New Jersey (20.7 percent) and Florida (20.1 percent). Hawaii and New Jersey are expensive places to live in, while Florida is more affordable. Lending Tree researchers guessed that some Florida adult children were at home to take care of aging parents.

7 . Digital technologies are taking up too much of our time and attention. Many of us will spend a significant part of our lives staring at screens, missing out on satisfying relationships and feeling more emotional pain. For many years, we’ve been taught that the solution to this potential harm is some form of digital detox (脱瘾), which mainly shows us what not to do after our digital addiction.
Identify the times and situations when being on screens is making your life worse. It could be when you are streaming a TV series right before bed, feeling depressed afterward and losing hours of sleep. Or you could be getting stuck on your device at the dinner table and end up getting distracted.
Once you identify the pain points, for example, scrolling (滚动浏览) on TikTok for hours keeps you from sleeping and makes you feel depressed afterward), ask yourself: What is screen time replacing and what goals is it serving? In other words, what are you actually hungry for? You might be endlessly scrolling because you want to feel uplifted at the end of the day. Write down the things you really want.
Try a substitute| A．Identify your true desire. |
| B．Determine your pain points. |
| C．Pretty soon, these replacements will make you feel more satisfied. |
| D．But the only way to truly gain control is to take positive steps in advance. |
| E．Or maybe you are inefficient at work because you’re doing too much online shopping. |
| F．Ask yourself how you can meet those needs through something other than screen time. |
| G．If your digital life is out of balance, reducing time on devices is an important first step. |
8 . Foxes with nine tails, flying dragons that can spit fireballs and creatures with human-heads and snake-bodies. Many magical creatures are recorded in Chinese legends and myths. Now a group of young Chinese people has brought them to life.
Called “jialegeling”, the group is made up of three founding members—Zhang Jialing, Zhu Ying and Bao Kai. They personify the mythical figures from The Classic of Mountains ad Seas（《山海经》）with costume makeup and location shooting.
Recalling the origin of the idea, they spoke of their experience using social media six years ago. They found that cultural products from Japan, the US and Republic of Korea were popular among users. However, Chinese legends were unfamiliar to most of them.
To faithfully show the creatures in the legends, they learned special effects makeup and created props (道具) by themselves.
It takes Zhang at least four hours to apply makeup and get in the costume for each character, Zhu says. The team members often get up in the early hours so they can shoot during the day. Despite the lack of funding, the group insisted on shooting on location because the ancient texts had records of the natural features of the areas where the creatures emerged.
That means their journey could not sail smoothly. With some topography (地貌) having disappeared over the past thousands of years, they needed to find areas with similar natural features. Even though some places could be easily found, they still faced difficulties. Once when filming in a desert, Zhang became severely sunburned, resulting in her skin peeling. Another video with underwater scenes required Zhang to dive dozens of times and Bao to film in the water the entire time.
“Fortunately, our efforts seem to have been seen by people. Many of our viewers are even calling us ‘ancient culture inheritors’. When we set out on this journey, this is exactly what we hoped would come.”

| B．They were experienced in personifying the mythical figures. |
| C．They found it easier to profit from shooting culture-themed videos. |
| D．They intended to display ancient Chinese culture’s charm to the public. |
| A．They suffer from a great lack of sleep. |
| B．A shortage of fund sets them a barrier. |
| C．They have trouble finding suitable places. |
| D．Making up and getting dressed are time-consuming. |
| A．Creative and committed. | B．Determined and careful. |
| C．Confident and grateful. | D．Passionate and curious. |
