Video Player Close HANGZHOU, Feb. 27 (Xinhua) -- Wen Shishan, 57, wandered in a bamboo grove, holding a machete in search of ideal materials to make oil-paper umbrellas, an old craft dating back to over a millennium ago. Situated in Hangzhou, capital of east China's Zhejiang Province, Wen's workshop boasts more than 800,000 fans on the popular Chinese short-video platform Douyin. The digital renaissance of the ancient handicraft can be traced in part to Zhang Jianhua, a short video maker born in the 1990s. In 2018, Zhang began to help Wen film the production process of the oil-paper umbrellas, driven by a fierce reluctance to let the fine art vanish into thin air. As Wen and his delicate artifacts flicker across hundreds of millions of smartphone screens, the old master feels increasingly heartened. "For the first time in my over 30 years of making the umbrellas, so many people are taking an interest in the craft. The life of craftsmen like me changed beyond recognition ... » Learn More about Across China: Rapid-fire Douyin videos revive faded craft glory

The Biden administration announced sanctions and visa bans on Friday targeting Saudi Arabian citizens over the 2018 killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi , but stopped short of imposing sanctions on Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman himself. U.S. President Joe Biden's actions in the first weeks of his administration appear aimed at fulfilling campaign promises to realign Saudi ties after critics accused his predecessor, Donald Trump, of giving the Arab ally and major oil producer a pass on gross human rights violations. A senior Biden administration official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the approach aims to create a new launching-off point for ties with the kingdom without breaking a core relationship in the Middle East. Relations have been severely strained for years by the war in Yemen and the killing inside a Saudi consulate of Khashoggi, a U.S. resident who wrote columns for the Washington Post critical of the crown prince's policies. Importantly, the decisions ... » Learn More about U.S. imposes sanctions, visa bans on Saudis for journalist Khashoggi’s killing

NANJING - It was the first time for 75-year-old fisherman Zhou Yalin to celebrate the Spring Festival ashore after he bid farewell to his fishing career on the Yangtze River, China's longest river, last year. After enjoying dinner with his family, Zhou watched the Spring Festival Gala on TV and stayed up all night on Chinese Lunar New Year's Eve for the first time in his life. "I used to catch fish on the river on New Year's Eve for there would be a surge in demand for aquatic products during the Spring Festival," recalled Zhou, who like most fishermen believed that a good New Year's Eve catch would bring about a bountiful harvest in the new year. Zhou's family has been engaged in the fishing business for four generations in a small village in the city of Taizhou, East China's Jiangsu province. Born on a fishing boat, Zhou took it for granted that he would make a living by fishing, just as his ancestors did. "I was destined to be a fisherman, as it's almost like my family ... » Learn More about Former fisherman celebrates first Spring Festival ashore

The Uttarakhand floods this week have brought us face to face with an inescapable reality — climate change. The signs are showing globally, Earth’s atmosphere warmed by greenhouse gas emissions, causing Arctic sea ice to melt rapidly, oceans warming (surface water temperatures have been higher over the last three decades than at any time since 1880) and sea levels rising. Air temperature over land is rising even faster, hastening glacial melting — the probable cause of the Uttarakhand tragedy. India is highly vulnerable to climate change, 75% of our districts susceptible to extreme weather events, including increasingly severe cyclonic storms, intense downpours and parching heat waves. ‘A colonial mindset thought technology could control nature — that caused climate change’ This situation urgently needs new mitigations — and a new vision. Once, a ‘Promethean’ approach was used towards nature. This entailed human arrogance vis-à-vis the environment, with a belief ... » Learn More about To nature, with respect

The smartphone has become our buddy and we owe it a good insurance policy to ensure it's protected at all times, says Naval Goel S martphones today have become integral to our lives. Those are perhaps the first thing we look at in the morning and the last thing we see before retiring for the day. Most people, before they could open their eyes fully in the morning, start checking their smartphones for notifications and updates from friends, relatives or shopping sites. Think about it. We have become all so dependent on our smartphones that they have become our best companions and perhaps guides when it comes to finding or navigating our ways through unknown streets and places. We all understand the importance of a smartphone in our lives but how many of us have given a thought towards insuring it against any damage or theft? Guess a rare few. Most people must have faced this situation at least once in their lives when their phone got damaged or worse still, got ... » Learn More about Why you must insure your smartphone
