If you happen to be in China in the next few days, you might come across a scene like this. Please don't be alarmed—those teenagers rushing out of the school gates aren't skipping class, and there certainly isn't any danger. They have simply just finished a major battle in their lives: the Gaokao (the National College Entrance Examination). Held on June 7th and 8th (with minority language exams extending to the 9th in some regions), this test marks a huge milestone. As the bell rings for the very last exam, they will run, cheer, and embrace one another, celebrating the end of their arduous journey and the exciting start of a brand new future in the most passionate way possible.🥂🥳

On a long train ride, a Han Chinese played the erhu, a Kazakh played the dombra, and three Uyghurs played the rawap and gijak. Together, they performed the Mongolian piece Horse Racing, bringing the dull journey to life with the sound of their traditional ethnic instruments.😌😌😌

The story goes like this: A girl was driving through a village in Xinjiang when she noticed a man walking on all fours. She kindly offered him a ride. He said his destination was his own clinic. After she dropped him off, he handed her a business card. The girl was shocked—was a clinic actually in need of promotion? This led to a deeper conversation.🤔 It turned out that the man was originally from Henan, China. When he was young, he was misdiagnosed, which left him unable to walk again. From age one to nine, he was constantly seeking treatment. At sixteen, he made a firm decision to change his fate through knowledge, and at 28, he finally got into college.💪 After graduation, he came to Xinjiang and opened a 24-hour free clinic. He said, "I am not useless—I am someone who can contribute to society," powerfully responding to all the doubts he faced on his journey to seek education and treatment.🥹 Though the light of his own life was extinguished by fate, he became a light for others. A local from Xinjiang commented about him: "You may be a meter shorter than me, but you stand taller than me by a whole Kunlun Mountain."👍

Update! Today, the American man who donated $5,000 to China's desert control has finally been found!👏 He is Ronald Sakolsky, currently living in Illinois. In 1999, while teaching in Luoyang, he was so moved by the story of local desert-control hero Yin Yuzhen that he donated $5,000—a fortune back then, enough to buy an entire apartment in the city! When the transoceanic call from his ex-colleague finally connected, Ronald Sakolsky, now retired with children and grandchildren, teared up on the other end of the line, saying excitedly, "I can't wait!" Today, this friendship spanning mountains and seas stands quietly amidst the deep forests of the Mu Us Desert, waiting for an old friend to return.💗💗💗

The eagle, one of the Kazakh "Seven Treasures," is more than a hunting tool—it's a partner. For over 2,000 years, a sacred rule has been passed down: after 7 years, the golden eagle must be released. Why? Because, as the Kazakhs say, "The eagle belongs only to the sky." Witnessing the release is heartbreaking—the eagle's reluctance, the trainer's silent tears. This isn't just tradition; it's pure, profound love...💞💞

There is a famous saying in China that has been passed down for ages: "After returning from the Five Great Mountains, one does not look at other mountains." This means that China's Five Great Mountains—Mount Tai in the east (Shandong), Mount Hua in the west (Shaanxi), Mount Heng in the south (Hunan), Mount Heng in the north (Shanxi), and Mount Song in the center (Henan)—are so magnificent and precipitous that once you've seen them, no other mountains in the world seem worth looking at. However, there is an even more remarkable follow-up to this phrase: "After returning from Huangshan, one does not look at the Five Great Mountains." The idea is that if you visit Mount Huangshan in Anhui, you'll find that it combines almost all the best qualities of the Five Great Mountains (majesty, danger, elegance, uniqueness, and mystery). Even if you have already seen the Five Great Mountains, they pale in comparison to Huangshan, making a trip to the Five Great Mountains seem almost unnecessary.⛰️🌄

It's not an exaggeration — Chinese is just amazing!!! Listen to this poem where almost every word is pronounced "yu" (of course with different tones and meanings), yet it still tells a detailed and vivid story: 🔻🔻🔻🔻🔻 Yu Yu wanted to go fishing. He came to my house and found me. He said to me, "I want to go fishing in the shallows of Yushui. Will you go with me?" I replied, "I plan to sell a piece of jade. Yu Yu wants to buy it, so I have to go to his house." So I went to Yu Yu's house together with Yu Yu to meet him and try to sell the jade. Just then, it started to rain heavily. The rainwater flooded Yu Yu’s house. I said to Yu Yu, "I originally planned to go fishing in the shallows of Yushui — should I fish now, or sell the jade?" While taking shelter from the rain at Yu Yu's house, I sold the jade to him. When the rain stopped, Yu Yu and I slowly left Yu Yu's house and went to the shallows of Yushui to go fishing. 👍👍👍👍👍

🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺 An 89-year-old man approached the police alone, claiming he had lost 20,000 yuan in cash on a train. After investigation, it was found that the elderly man had gone to Hetian for medical treatment, and the money was his lifelong savings. The station police immediately contacted the train police. The train officer rushed to the man’s berth and found the lost cash under the bedding. Through a video call, the officer and the elderly man jointly counted the money, which totaled 21,800 yuan. After the money was recovered, the elderly man felt at ease. The police brought him hot meals. The police wanted to pay for his accommodation, but the hotel, upon learning the situation, decided to offer it for free. The police arranged for the elderly man to stay at the hotel and provided him with meals three times a day. The next day, when the train returned to Kuche Station, the train officer and the station officer handed over the money. The police then returned the money to the elderly man. As the man was eager to return home to take care of his livestock, the police arranged for a vehicle, paid for the fare in advance, and prepared food and warm clothes for him. Since the man had no living relatives, the police informed the village head and left the driver’s phone number to ensure his safety. The elderly man eventually returned home safely..

A Uyghur man called the police station, saying his wife was giving birth at the hospital and had suffered severe bleeding — she was in critical condition and needed blood urgently. The hospital had run out of her blood type, and despite reaching out to family and friends, there wasn't enough. Upon receiving the call, the local public security bureau quickly mobilized its officers and auxiliary police to donate blood. Soon, 5,900 milliliters of blood were collected in time, saving the unborn baby, the mother, and the entire family. 🇨🇳❤️💪

I can’t bear to cut a single frame of this video At Mingsha Mountain in Gansu, when a Chinese national flag appeared, tourists gathered of their own accord, spread it open, and joined forces to haul it up to the summit of the sand dune, letting it flutter through everyone’s joint efforts. The slope was steep, the sand slippery underfoot, yet the flag was raised high at last. ❤️🇨🇳❤️ There were no standard flagpoles here — but every Chinese person present is a firm and unyielding backbone!

One day, a man was driving his van through a village in southern Xinjiang. A man wearing a cap approached from the roadside with a smile on his face, though his eyes were searching the vehicle for something. Thinking the man might be hungry, the driver offered him some snacks—treats that were hard to come by in the village. However, the smile on the cap-wearer’s face dimmed, and he turned away in disappointment. Sensing something was amiss, the driver decided to follow him home to see if he needed help. Once inside, the man unwrapped layer upon layer of cloth to reveal an old radio. He twisted the dial with force, pointed to his ears, and made muffled sounds in his throat. In that moment, the driver finally understood: this man, who could not hear the world, was using all his strength to find batteries for his silent radio. His earlier gazing at the van had simply been a desperate attempt to find a vendor selling batteries. The driver, a kind soul, grasped his meaning immediately. He took him to the county town to buy fitting batteries, purchased shoes and other daily necessities for him, and promised to take him out again next time. On the way back, as the man sat in the passenger seat with his beloved radio clutched in his hands, his smile returned—bright as it was at the beginning. But this time, the joy came not from the radio waves, but from the love of a stranger. I do not wish to specifically mention their ethnicities, for some warmth needs no labels. It is just like sunlight falling on everyone's shoulders, never asking who you are.🌞
