"A Pangolin Emergency Rescue War"
On March 25, 2019, the Guangdong Wildlife Rescue Center in Guangzhou received 21 smuggled Malay pangolins seized by customs, with severe dehydration, pneumonia infection, tick bites... When the pangolins were first delivered, most of them were in a very poor state. In the process of smuggling, the poor transport environment and the cruel treatment of smugglers for huge profits seriously damaged the health of pangolins.
A pangolin rescue war is urgently launched in all sectors of society. The forestry department quickly organized animal experts to conduct discussions, the animal rescue department of Guangdong Province specially followed up the whole process of treatment, and non-governmental public welfare organizations also actively participated in it. Volunteers from the China Biodiversity Conservation and Green Development Foundation rushed from Beijing to Guangzhou to join in the daily rescue...
On April 21, "Motionless" looked around curiously in a CT-tested box. It was named after not eating for a long time and was sent to Lide Animal Hospital for treatment.

On April 24, 15 pangolin carcasses were stored at the Guangdong Wildlife Rescue Center. When seized by customs, most pangolins were in extremely poor physical condition.
Staff at the Guangdong Wildlife Rescue Center dissected a dead Malay pangolin with an unidentified object fed by smugglers in its stomach.
Medical staff carefully cleaned the wounds on the "untouched" tail.
The medical staff conducted a blood test on the "unmoved", and the first test results showed that the pangolin's body was low in white blood cells and the immune system was disturbed.
With ultraviolet lamps illuminated with fluorescent eye drops, animal doctors found that the "motionless" eyes showed symptoms of corneal ulceration and edema.

At a rescue station on the border between Guangzhou and Qingyuan, after several days of torrential rains, Sophie and her colleagues reinforced and repaired the pangolin's residence.
At night, "Last Night", who had just woken up, was attracted by the delicious ant nests, and the alien species had become accustomed to eating native ants.
On the night of June 4, "Sleepiness" began to undergo rewilding training, walking freely in the enclosed woodland foraging.
"Sichuan Opera Boy First Grows Up"
One minute on stage, ten years offstage, used to describe the hard work of learning opera is most appropriate. At the Chongqing Chuan Theater, there is a group of children with an average age of only ten years old, and they have been studying Sichuan opera for five years. They are the first batch of students of the first Sichuan opera professional acting class since Chongqing's direct administration. Singing and playing, hand and eye walking, with a love for Sichuan opera, this group of children silently insisted, looking forward to the bloom on the stage, and constantly injected fresh blood into this traditional art.
The Sichuan Opera Performance Class of Chongqing Vocational College of Culture and Art was established in 2014 to train sichuan opera students. In recent years, Chongqing Chuan Theater has made a good reserve for the construction of the echelon of Sichuan opera stage artistic talents through targeted funding and training. From the initial basic skills of opera, body performance, singing and learning, to now performing mature plays on stage and winning honors in many competitions, Sichuan opera students have come all the way, it is very difficult.
13-year-old Chu Hanqing is the youngest sister in the class, the little girl has beautiful features and looks very beautiful.

Noah's Ark at the Top of the Hill
In the mountains of central Shandong, on top of the steep hilltops near many villages, there are scattered stone villages made of bluestone, some square and round, high or low. Some of these stone villages were strongholds built by bandits or peasant rebels in the mountains and forests, and some were built by the people to escape the chaos of war, and the local people called them "Shiweizi". Today, there are still dozens of such stone villages in Boshan District, Zichuan District and Yiyuan County of Zibo City in Luzhong.
Viewed from above, Jiulong Village, located in Zichuan District, Zibo City, Shandong Province, resembles a giant aircraft carrier. In its lower right, there is also a small stone fortress that resembles a frigate in formation.

Kashgar

For the children of the naan shop, Kashgar is basically a naan shop, not only Kashgar, but the whole of southern Xinjiang.
In winter, outside a mosque in the ancient city of Kashgar, several elderly people were chatting.
In the ancient city, people who go home through the streets at night.
Hat vendors can be seen everywhere in Kashgar, and handmade hats sell well in winter.
Kashgar was an important place on the Silk Road in ancient times, and now it is an important area of the Belt and Road, and it is often seen that merchants from neighboring countries, a Pakistani, have just come out of antique shops.
Kashgar previously had a very well-preserved Uyghur Gaotai house, but over time, the Gaotai house gradually became a dangerous house, and the government began to relocate the residents for reconstruction and renovation, and a child moved away before the Gaotai house was moved.
Xinjiang is probably the most popular place for football in all of China, and many streets are full of children playing football, and the mosque is not excluded.
The last household to move away from the high-rise house, the children removed the last ornament from the upstairs room.
The Girl Who Flew the Kite
At 12 o'clock, the children rushed to the window of the canteen to eat. That day because we volunteered to send a sheep, the children opened the meat, and each child was happy to have a piece of meat in the bowl.

Eating is probably the happiest time for the children, the children in the picture eat late, but there is meat that day, he is still very happy to eat the rice in the bowl.
After lunch, the little boy in the picture rushed to the tap water next to the classroom and gulped down the water on the faucet. There is no pure mineral water in the area, and children drink the water from the tap when they are thirsty.
The girl in the picture is bowing her head and writing a thank-you note to the volunteers.
The little girl slowed down the boys in the same class to make a kite, she took her own kite and flew it with the other little boys, but the movement was not as fast as theirs, and she looked back at the kites of others flying, and I just froze this scene.
There are kindergarten classes and elementary schools in the school, and the children in the kindergarten class take self-introduction classes on the day, and the volunteer sister lets the children introduce themselves and encourages them to perform their own good programs. The children in the picture are listening carefully to other classmates introducing themselves.
The children in the kindergarten saw me pick up the camera and face them, and looked at my camera in shock, as if they were examining me in the camera.
Volunteers took the children to the kite DIY class, took the children themselves to color and line the kites, and several little boys took the lead in installing the kites, reported to the teacher, and then ran out to release their masterpieces.
In the first Chinese lesson that the volunteer gave to the children, the teacher asked the students to recite the texts en masse, and in the photo, he was reading seriously.
The State of Cuba
Cuba, socialist country: When it comes to Cuba, everyone is no stranger, Cuba is one of the few five socialist countries in the existing world. Cuba is the largest country in the Caribbean, with an area of about 110,000 square kilometers, slightly larger than Zhejiang. Although the area is not small, cuba's national population is only as large as That of Tianjin. Cuba is almost the safest country in the Americas, and there is not much discrimination against its people, most of whom are quite friendly to their countrymen.
