I’m a grandma in my 60s. In the spring f 2020, like the rest f the wrld, I spent a lt f time staring at a screen and that was when I first gt int the YuTube wrld. I discvered that nscreen fferings were truly endless. Frm ne YuTuber I learned hw t plant my wn vegetable garden. Smene else shared petry frm Rbert Frst, wise sayings frm Cnfucius, and a smattering (一知半解) f ther philsphical viewpints, all f which helped me thrugh sme dark days. Dwn the rabbit hle I went, scrlling fr hurs and hurs, watching ther peple living their lives and giving me advice n hw t live mine.
As the mnths rlled by, YuTube turned my attentin away frm the hard reality f what was ging n in the wrld. I subscribed t several channels and waited anxiusly fr new weekly fferings. I watched peple reading petry r painting by streams r lking ut windws int snwy landscapes. I fund all this calming. Such lvely scenery, such beautiful backgrund music, and such pretty clthes they were wearing!
At sme pint thugh, I gt upset by these artistic and seemingly perfect lives. Wh is filming them? I wndered. D they rehearse r just act n the spt? Isn’t it cld, stepping thrugh snw banks in dresses? The questins kept bthering me while frcing cmparisns t my wn smewhat mre rdinary existence. I wanted t walk in a flwing dress thrugh hilly green field filled with wildflwers! Instead, I was marching thrugh my neighbrhd’s city streets in mm jeans.
In a mment f insight, I realized that I had a full and happy life, which althugh it wuldn’t win awards fr perfectin nscreen, suited me perfectly. I put my phne away and started paying attentin t my wn life instead f watching ther peple live theirs. I still like checking in nce in a while. YuTube can be a rich surce f entertainment and inspiratin, but I’ve limited my expsure. I am cntent with the knwledge that my addictin t life nscreen has been replaced by life itself

Phtsynthesis (光合作用) is a unique skill f green plants-they turn water and carbn dixide int xygen and fd via sunlight. A grup f Chinese scientists, hwever, "cpied" the prcess n animals.
T understand the new breakthrugh, it is imprtant t knw hw phtsynthesis wrks. Plants take in carbn dixide and water frm the air and sil. Within the plant cell, the water is xidized. This transfrms the water int xygen and the carbn dixide int glucse (葡萄糖) .The plant then releases the xygen back int the air and stres energy within the glucse mlecules. In the study, the researchers frm Zhejiang University develped an independent and cntrllable phtsynthetic system, accrding t the study published in Nature in early December, 2022.
