A new round of refined oil price adjustment started on Thursday in China, registering the largest increase in nine years.

According to a notice from the National Development and Reform Commission, the domestic gasoline and diesel prices were raised by 750 yuan and 720 yuan per ton, respectively, starting at midnight on March 17.

Under the current pricing mechanism, when international crude oil prices change by more than 50 yuan per ton and remain at that level for 10 working days, the prices of refined oil products are adjusted accordingly.

NANNING, March 17 (Xinhua) -- Xu Baokun, 66, had never imagined that one day she would become a social media influencer with a following of nearly 140,000.

Xu's videos on the short-video platform Douyin, the Chinese version of TikTok, playing the drum set with utter confidence have set the internet on fire, with netizens calling her "cool grandma."

A farmer from south China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, she has toiled in the fields since she was young. But, with age, she developed some spine-related ailments, restricting her movements, which made her life insipid.

Things, however, changed last year when Xu's son Yang He, who teaches others music in neighboring Guangdong Province, brought a drum set on his visit home.

For Ma Yifei, a 16-year-old visually impaired girl, the violin piece of the Beijing 2022 theme song, Snowflake, that she played in the closing ceremony of the Beijing 2022 Paralympic Winter Games, is her best gift for Paralympians across the globe.

Ma, a sophomore in Ningxia Special Education High School in northwest China's Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, lost her eyesight at the age of two through illness. With the hope that music would serve as an extra way to reach out to the world, she started to learn to play the piano at five and violin at nine.

"It took a few thousand times for her to play a piece correctly as she always played the wrong notes because she could not see the keyboard." said Ma's mother.

"Sadness or joy, each piece is different," Ma said, adding that although Snowflake is related to winter, she can feel "warmth, hope and light." (Photo by Li Jing/Xinhua)
