Three Chinese astronauts Wang Yaping, Zhai Zhigang and Ye Guangfu gave a space lecture on Dec. 9th, 2021
"Hello, everyone! Welcome to Tiangong Class. " With this greeting, a special lecture began on Tiangong space station about 400 kilometers above Earth on Dec. 9th, 2021.
Lasting for about an hour, the space lecture was broadcast live to millions of students. Three astronauts from the Shenzhou XIII crew hosted the lecture, introducing how they live and work on the space station and doing some interesting experiments that can only be done in space.
This is the second live space lecture in China. In 2013, with the assistance of two other Shenzhou X crew members, Wang hosted the country's first live space lecture to over 60 million schoolchildren across China.
More space to teach
Compared with the class eight years ago, this year's space lecture is greatly different. The "classroom" is bigger. Instead of Tiangong I experimental module(实验舱), this year Wang had the space lecture in the Tianhe space core module(核心舱), which is the biggest spacecraft developed by China.
Technological development
The quality of space to ground communication is also much improved.
The space lecture eight years ago sometimes faced the challenges of the video freezing and an unclear picture, but this year's lecture is different.
With the help of China's Tianlian sallies, the transmission(传输) speed has been highly increased and the whole live broadcast has run smoothly. These changes show that Chinese aerospace industry has made great progress in the past eight years.
More courses
Along with the technological progress, this year's space lecture discussed more areas in science. Eight years ago, students could watch the interesting phenomenon of weightlessness in space on TV. But this year, biology was added.
Though these space lectures showed various topics, the aim behind the lectures has never changed. The space lectures aim to "spread knowledge about manned spaceflights and light up the interests for science among young people". The spirit of science in the youth is an important driver of the progress of mankind. The space lecture makes young Chinese people take pride in our country as they see the rapid development of our space technology.
The erhu is a traditional Chinese musical instrument. It is the most popular of the huqin family. In the Song Dynasty, musicians began to use this type of huqin to perform different kinds of music, and it became quite a popular instrument. With the rise of some forms of folk art, the art of the erhu developed quickly during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It became an important accompanying (伴奏) instrument in different folk music. Now it is used in both traditional and modern music. It has even become a solo (独奏的) instrument. One of the most famous musical pieces played on the erhu is Erquan Yingyue by Abing.
The erhu used to be mainly played by common people, As the playing skills were passed down by oral (口传) tradition, there are few written records about the erhu that can be found. To study the history and the development of the erhu, historians usually turn to ancient paintings, sculptures and murals (雕塑和璧画). The earliest pictures of this instrument were found in Yulin Caves and Eastern Thousand Buddha Caves in Gansu Province.
Because of so many people's effort, the erhu becomes more and more popular around the world. In fact, we can hear the familiar sound of the erhu in many Hollywood productions, such as Kungfu Panda in 2012 and most recently, the Oscar nominated(提名)film Up in the Air(《在云端》). When people watch these movies, they also enjoy the special music of the erhu. The erhu is also called "Chinese violin" by many westerners, but in many ways, they are quite different.
We'll finally grow up someday, leaving our parents and facing the challenges (挑战)in life. Parents may not be able to solve every problem for us. Instead, we should have enough life skills to deal with the problems that come our way,
This is what our country tries to do now: Helping more students gain working spirit. To stress the importance of hardworking spirit education(劳动教育) among students of different ages, the government released(发布) a guideline(纲要) recently.
The guideline calls for students to respect work. Students should learn basic life skills and form good working habits through such education. The government has been trying to stress the importance of hardworking spirit education. But this has been overlooked in recent years. Many tens do not value the importance of working hard and are uninterested in doing so.
According to a study of nearly 3, 000 students that was done by Evening News, only 22 percent of primary and middle school students help with everyday housework.
Schools and families play an important role in teaching students about the value of working hard, the guideline says. Primary and middle schools should provide students with hardworking spirit classes every week. According to the guideline, schools can also hold activities to give students real —world work experience. For example, schools can teach children how to plant trees on TreePlanting Day.
As children's first teachers, parents should also encourage children to learn how to do housework. Students should master one or two life skills every year. These skills can include cooking, washing their own clothes and tidying their rooms.

There is a story in the book History as a Mirror(《资治通鉴》) by Chinese historian Sima Guang. Zhi Xuanzi was the head of a big clan (家族) in the State of Jin during the Spring and Autumn Period (770—476BC). He wanted a clan member, Zhi Yao, to be his successor (继承人). , another man in the clan, Zhi Guo, was against the idea. Zhi Guo listed five strong points of ZhiYao. For example, he was good at and shooting. He was decisive (果断的) and talkative. But Zhi Guo said that he had a big problem: his morals (道德). He had an unkind heart. Still, Zhi Xuanzi didn't to the idea. Zhi Yao became the head of the clan. With his leadership abilities, quickly made his clan the in Jin. However, because of his aggressive style, three other clans worked together to fight the Zhi clan. Finally, the Zhi clan was beaten.
Sima Guang used this story to stress the of morals. Talent is not enough. He said that excellent people must have talent and virtue. Those who have virtue but no talent might work inefficiently(低效地). Those who have talent but no virtue might not use their talent properly. Those who have both talent and virtue were xiancai (贤才)in ancient times. If you ask which one is more important between the two, it must be virtue. Only if a person has virtue can he or she get on the right track.
In 2018, when President Xi Jinping with students and teachers at Peking University, he mentioned Sima Guang's ideas. He said good education should both a Person's virtues and talents. Educators must follow this idea. As students, we can also make it our goal.
To stay safe during the time of coronavirus (冠状病毒), we have to give up many things we enjoy. But without physical touch, we might become lonely, sad and even sick. So, if you feel you need a hug, there is something you can safely put your arms around and hold close: A tree!
It may sound strange, but humans have been using nature therapy (治疗) for years. The Japanese practice of Shinrin Yoku is an example. Shinrin means forest in Japanese, and yoku is the Japanese word for bath. It just means spending time in nature: listening to its sounds, breathing the fresh air, and connecting to nature with your heart.
Recently, Israel has been promoting (促进) ) tree hugging on social media. "We recommend to people around the world to go out to nature, take a deep breath, hug a tree, show your love and get love. " In Israels Apollonia National Park, some visitors happily hug the trees.
Iceland Forest Service also did things like this in April. They advised people to hug a tree for at least five minutes every day.
