Most people have map apps on their phones that can show their locations (位置) and guide them to where they want to go. But how do these app systems know your locations at any time or place? They find you by using satellite navigation (satnav) systems (卫星导航系统).

A satnav system uses groups of satellites to find the users’ locations. This location information is then sent to a receiver, such as a smartphone.

The first satnav system is the Global Positioning System (GPS) (全球定位系统), which belongs to the United States. The system is the world’s 1eading satnav system. But China’s satellites are important for improving the satnav system. BeiDou Navigation Satellite System (BDS), has overtaken (超过) GPS in size, Japan’s Nikkei Asian Review reported. China sent BeiDou’s first navigation satellite into space in 2000. China also built a satnav system after the United States and Russia, People’s Daily reported. Until now, over 30 countries in Africa and the Middle East are using BeiDou system.

With its world-leading technology, BeiDou is leading Chinese people to a better life by playing important roles in different areas.

The first people in Europe to eat tomatoes were Italians. As far back as 500 years ago, the joys of eating fried tomatoes with salt were known to them, They also discovered that the tomato made pasta (意大利面) taste better.

In other countries like England, tomatoes were thought to have poison (毒) in them. But people grew them in their gardens because of their beautiful colors and looks. They even thought that tomatoes caused diseases. But they soon got over their fear and began to eat tomatoes.

It is believed that the British brought the tomato to India. This was about 300 years ago. Gradually, the people of Bengal started discovering that the tomato gave a good flavor to their dishes. Today, the whole world is crazy about the tomato.

Have you ever seen lions dancing in the streets? The lions dance to the beat of a drum. Of course, they are not real lions. They are dancers in lion costumes. Lion dancing first started in China centuries ago. It is meant to bring good luck in the coming year.

Usually, a lion is made up of two dancers. One dancer controls the head. The other controls the tail.

“I think of it as a sport,” says Anthony Huang, aged 16. He is a member of the New York Chinese Freemasons Athletic Club. Anthony performs as the lion’s head. It can weigh 20 pounds. Lion dancing is important to Anthony. “This tradition really lifts me up,” he says.

Tong Panfeng, a lion dancing coach, is from Zhejiang province. He has a passion (热情) for this dying traditional performance. In 1993, Tong, then 26, saw the lion dancing in a movie and he was deeply attracted (吸引). After learning that his grandfather used to be a lion dancer when he was young, Tong wanted to inherit this amazing tradition. In 2017, Tong set up the Lion Dancing Team of Qiantong Central Primary School and taught lion dancing as an after-school course.

“Anyone can take up lion dancing. Lion dancing will continue to evolve (演变), but a team’s sense of community will never change. We call it a family”, Tong says. “It’s really great, because we always have each other’s backs.”

Far from just a performance, Tong believes that lion dancing is the symbol of the spirit of China and the pride of the Chinese people.
