In one ancient Chinese story, there is a magic deer. She has beautiful nine-colored fur. The deer is kind and helps people who are sick and poor. In fact, this nine-colored deer comes from a painting in the Mogao Grottoes (莫高窟) in Dunhuang, Gansu.

The grottoes were created in AD 366. They hold the world’s best cave art. The clay figures (泥塑) and paintings on the wall are the Mogao Grotto’s greatest treasures. There are more than 2,000 colored clay figures in 492 caves. The tallest is 34.5 meters high while the smallest is only 2 cm, China Daily reported.

The most beautiful paintings are of dancing, flying fairies (飛天). They wear beautiful costumes. Among them, a fairy plays a pipa (琵琶) behind her back. This painting has given dancers in modern times lots of new ideas.

Besides the value of its art, the Mogao Grotto paintings also show how ancient people lived. Some show people farming, eating and fighting. Others show their wedding and funeral customs. In 1987 the Mogao Caves became a UNESCO World Heritage (遺產) Site.

Beijing’s two sessions (會議) are being widely discussed across China. During the sessions, many proposals (提案) and suggestions were put forward. Here are two issues that were discussed during the sessions that might interest you.

Smartphone ban (禁令)

According to the survey conducted last year, 68.1 percent of Chinese primary and junior high school students have their own smartphones. To keep students from playing with their smartphones in class, some schools have already banned smartphones on campus.

Lei Yanqin, a deputy (代表) of the National People’s Congress (NPC, 全國人民代表大會), suggested that smartphones should be banned at schools nationwide. She said that listening to music and playing games in class not only bother teachers, but also make it difficult for students to concentrate (集中注意力). She added that students might also show off their phones too much.

Video game rating system (分級制度)

Over 200 million teenagers across China play online games like King of Glory (《王者榮耀》), Guangming Daily reported. With their computers and tablets, teenagers are able to play most online games produced in China and abroad. However, some games have violent (暴力的) or vulgar (粗俗的) content that might not be suitable for young people.

Many NPC deputies suggested that a rating system for online games should be introduced. All games would be put into age groups according to their content. Players would have to give their ID numbers before playing certain games.

Characters:

Buck—a dog Judge (法官) Miller—Buck’s owner

Characters:

Buck—a dog Judge (法官) Miller—Buck’s owner

Buck did not read the newspapers, or he would know that trouble was coming.

In fact, trouble was on its way for every strong dog with warm long hair. This was because men, going through the Arctic (北極的) darkness, had discovered a yellow metal—gold. And because shipping and transportation (運輸) companies were advertising the discovery, thousands of men were rushing into the Northland. These men wanted heavy dogs, with strong muscles (肌肉) for working and thick coats to protect them from the cold.

Buck lived at Judge Miller’s house in the sunny-kissed Santa Clara Valley. There were big stables (馬廄), long grape fields, fruit gardens and a big swimming pool. Buck ruled over the whole kingdom. Here he was born and here he had lived the four years of his life. He protected the Judge’s sons and daughters on long midnight or early morning walks. On cold winter nights he lay at the Judge’s feet in front of the warm library fire. He was king—king over everything, crawled (爬行的), walked, or flew at Judge Miller’s place, including humans.

Buck was this kind of dog in the autumn of 1897, when the discovery of gold in the Klondike pulled men from all over the world into the frozen North. But Buck did not read the newspapers. He did not know that Manuel, one of gardener’s helpers, was not to be trusted. Manuel loved to gamble (賭博). He believed he could win but he was doomed to failure.

On the night of Manuel’s betrayal (背叛), no one saw him and Buck go off through the fields. Buck imagined it to be a relaxing walk. They arrived at a little train. A man talked with Manuel and money passed between them. Manuel tied a piece of thick rope around Buck’s neck. Buck accepted it quietly. To be sure, it was unwanted, but Buck had learned to trust men he knew. However, when the ends of the rope were placed in the stranger’s hands, he barked. Then the rope tightened (收緊) painfully, his tongue hanging out of his mouth. Then his strength disappeared, his eyes grew dim (渾濁), and he knew nothing when the train pulled up. Two men threw him into the baggage car.
