A 10-minute excerpt of the original Chinese acrobatic drama A Thousand Years in One Finger was displayed during an event commemorating the 50th anniversary of the discovery and excavation of the iconic Terracotta Warriors in Xi'an, the capital of Northwest China's Shaanxi province, on Sept 8.



Gathering a creative team, including director Fu Zhitao, scriptwriter Lei Linjing and composer Qian Qi, the show tells of a relic restorer who, through a fingerprint on a terracotta statue, travels back to China's Qin Dynasty (221-206 BC).

KUNMING, Sept. 12 (Xinhua) -- In a country with a rich tea-drinking tradition spanning thousands of years, China saw its first cohort of university students majoring in coffee science and engineering start the new semester in September.

This groundbreaking initiative at Yunnan Agricultural University (YAU) aims to provide undergraduate training in coffee-related expertise to meet the growing demand for professionals in a country where coffee consumption is rapidly rising.

A total of 100 students have enrolled in the program this year. They will study at the university's campus in Pu'er City in the southwest Yunnan Province, where the first coffee seeds were introduced around 130 years ago.

Speaking to Xinhua, Chen Siyuan said that her interest in coffee started when she was a grade 12 student preparing for the university entrance exam.

"I need something refreshing to help me focus on my studies, so I chose coffee for its stimulating effect," she said, adding that the more she learned about coffee, the more it fascinated her.

Liang Anhe records his son Liang Xiuqian's purchase of motor vehicles on the wall at Wuying Village on the border between south China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region and southwest China's Guizhou Province, April 19, 2019.

Wuying Village is a Miao ethnic-minority hamlet that nestles snugly in the towering mountains stretching across the border between Guangxi and Guizhou. The impassable mountains and rugged landscape used to render locals extremely poor, but villagers Liang Anhe, 74, and his son Liang Xiuqian, 45, have witnessed great changes and development in the village over the past decade.

The senior Liang had raised his children with scanty salaries from labors at his 0.13-hectare filed and serving as a substitute teacher at a primary school. The junior Liang, once a migrant worker, returned to the village over ten years ago and kept searching for opportunities of fortune in various walks of life. He became a leader of the fruit planting cooperative incorporated at the village in 2017.

Thanks to supporting efforts from pertinent authorities, Wuying has undergone significant changes over recent years, with the establishment of new classroom buildings, cultural corridors, public squares as well as a women's night school and an education fund.

As a teacher at the women's night school, the senior Liang guides students there in learning, tree planting, and event hosting. The junior Liang, for his part, spearheads with the local Lusheng (a traditional reed-pipe wind instrument) team as it wins honor for the village from various art competitions.

The Kubuqi desert, the seventh largest desert in China, is home to the Kubuqi photovoltaic desertification control project, which stands strong as a beacon of green construction.

The project has been carried out by PowerChina Hubei Group and adopted a new type of industrial model. Since its completion, the project can connect to the grid and generate electricity totaling around 4.1 billion kilowatt hours, and reduce carbon dioxide emissions which can help build an ecological security barrier in the Northern region and guarantee ecological security.

Since its construction in 2021, the workers of the project have had to overcome many difficulties and made joint efforts to push forward its construction which has helped to promote the desert ecosystem management.
