I just saw a news story about a blind PhD named Huang Ying. Her story really moved me. 刘娜: Yes. Although she can't see, she studies every day with screen-reading software and even helps her roommate organize study materials. She often brings meals from the cafeteria for her roommate too. 小潘: At first, I thought maybe her roommate was 'taking advantage' of her. But Huang Ying said she likes being treated as a normal person and said, 'I can do anything.' That really shocked me. 刘娜: Exactly, that’s the point. We shouldn’t look at blind people only through the lens of ‘disadvantage.’ In fact, many times, they just live in a different way. 小潘: I understand now—it’s not that they need special care from us, but that we should learn mutual understanding and respect. 刘娜: Well said. Huang Ying’s story reminds us that true inclusion is about ‘seeing’ everyone’s abilities, whether they can ‘see’ or not.

In the elevator there’s no 4th floor—it jumps from 3 to 5. Why is that? 刘娜: That’s very common in China! Because the pronunciation of 4 is similar to 'death' (死), people consider it unlucky, so many buildings avoid the number 4. 小潘: I see! Then why do I see so many shops using the number 8 in prices, like 88 yuan or 888 yuan? 刘娜: Because 8 sounds like 'fa' in 'facai' (发财, to get rich)! Chinese people believe 8 stands for wealth and good luck. For example, the 2008 Beijing Olympics opened on August 8. 小潘: Wow, even the Olympics chose that date! What about other numbers, like 6 and 9? 刘娜: 6 represents 'smooth going', and 9 represents 'long-lasting'. Online, young people say '666' to mean 'awesome', and '999' is often used to express lasting love. These cultural meanings come from similar pronunciations. 小潘: That’s so interesting! It seems learning Chinese means learning the culture behind the numbers too. 刘娜: Exactly! That’s the link between language and culture. Once you know this, you’ll understand why people care so much about number combinations in phone numbers and license plates.

Why is that? 小刚: Because from today, pure milk can no longer contain 'reconstituted milk'—it must be made only from fresh milk. 小宝: What is reconstituted milk? Is it fake milk? 小刚: Not fake, but milk that has been turned into powder and then mixed with water again. It loses some nutrients that way. 小宝: Oh, so it's like 'milk made from powder'! Will the milk taste better now? 小刚: Yes! The new rule says pure milk must use 100% raw milk, so it’s more nutritious and tastes purer. 小宝: What about yogurt? Can they still use reconstituted milk? 小刚: Yogurt and ice cream can, but it must be clearly labeled. Only pure milk must not use reconstituted milk at all.

Former US Ambassador to China, Burns, actually said they have long underestimated China's technological and military strength. 陈智高: Hmm, that’s not surprising. As the saying goes, 'You can’t see the true face of Mount Lu because you are in the mountain.' They often judge China from their own perspective, overlooking China’s persistence and resilience in long-term strategy. 王明月: He said he realized the true level of China's military only after seeing the PLA with his own eyes. This reminds me of the ancient saying, 'What you get from reading is shallow; true understanding comes from personal experience.' 陈智高: Good! The fact that you can connect to that quote shows you understand the importance of both observation and direct experience. Although the PLA hasn't fought a major war in a long time, its technology, training, and strategic planning have not stagnated. To dismiss it as 'forty years without war' is really shallow. 王明月: He also mentioned China's high-speed rail and education, especially the much higher proportion of STEM students compared to the US. It seems infrastructure and talent development are also parts of national strength. 陈智高: Exactly. In warfare, it’s not just about weapons, but also strategy and wisdom. Without a strong foundation in technology and education, military power is just a castle in the air. As the saying goes, 'If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools.' 王明月: But Master, I’m also thinking—now that Americans realize this, does it mean the international attitude toward China will become more complicated? 陈智高: You’re right. Acknowledging strength doesn’t mean goodwill. Throughout history, the strong are both respected and often contained. We must be cautious about the external environment, but even more, we must strive for self-improvement. Remember, the *I Ching* says: 'As heaven moves strongly, a gentleman should strive constantly for self-improvement.' 王明月: I understand now. How others evaluate us is just a mirror; what really matters is whether we keep making progress ourselves. 陈智高: Exactly. Whether others admit it or not, China’s development should be rooted in long-term strategy, with culture and technology as its wings. That’s the true path.

That's so strange. 刘娜: Yes, it's a very common habit. People in Guangdong tear napkins into two or four pieces to share with everyone. 小潘: But why do they do that? Isn't it more convenient for everyone to have their own napkin? 刘娜: It's related to their culture. People in Guangdong value frugality and like to share. Tearing napkins is actually a way of showing care for others. 小潘: Oh, I get it. So it's not just about saving paper, but also a friendly gesture. 刘娜: That's right. Nowadays, many young people also think it's environmentally friendly and meaningful. Such a small act actually shows great wisdom.

A sophomore girl actually gave birth in her dorm—it’s really shocking. 黄刚: I saw it too. Mother and child are both safe, which is a small blessing in misfortune. But what’s more worrying is that it reveals problems in education and family life. 陈花: Exactly. Schools only care about grades and rarely provide systematic sex education. Many kids lack proper understanding of their bodies and responsibilities. 黄刚: Parents are also responsible. Summer vacation is so long, but the parents didn’t notice their daughter was pregnant. This shows there’s a lack of communication and care. 陈花: And she’s only twenty, still not fully mature, yet has to face the responsibility of raising a child. The road ahead will surely be hard. 黄刚: Society also needs to reflect. In the internet era, information spreads everywhere, but few truly care about students’ mental health and growth. 陈花: I think this incident reminds us that we must not only teach children knowledge, but also how to protect themselves and be responsible. 黄刚: Exactly. Education can’t just be about grades—it must also focus on personal growth. Otherwise, similar tragedies will keep happening. 陈花: I hope schools, families, and society can work together so that children don’t have to bear everything alone when they most need help. 黄刚: Yes. Only then is it truly responsible education.
