It took Yang Yu, 39, the movie's director and screenwriter, two years to complete it, and the movie was in production for three years. It is the most complex animated production ever made in China. In Yang's movie he is fighting against prejudice (偏见) : Ne Zha is hated and feared all the time. But Ne Zha believes his fate is not predetermined (预先确定的) and that he can choose to be a demon or a god.

     "After watching so many domestic animated movies, only Ne Zha and Monkey King: Hero Is Back have made me shang tou (obsessed or fascinated) ," a Weibo user commented under the promotional video. "I couldn't believe a domestic animated movie can be created with such a well-developed story. I'm sure Ne Zha is going viral (走红) this summer!" reads another comment on Douban.

    There are many kinds of trees. All trees have roots. The roots hold trees in the ground. The roots soak up ( 吸收 ) water and food. Then trees get water and food from the roots. You can't see inside a tree. But you can study how water moves through trees.

    First, get a stalk ( 茎 ) of celery ( 芹菜 ) and cut off its end. Put red colour in a cup of water. Then put the stalk of the celery into the red water. Then we can see the red water moving up in the celery easily.

    After half an hour, take the celery out. Cut it in half. Your celery should be red. This is because the water moved up the stalk. Water moves through trees in the same way as it moved through the celery.

Think about the colors of fruit and vegetables: the red of tomatoes, the orange of carrots, and the purple of grapes.

You can eat fruit and vegetables of all colors—green, yellow, blue, purple and white. Each color is important to our health. These colors work together for our bodies.

Red gives us a healthy heart. Red helps improve our memory (记忆力). Yellow is good for our eyes. White can reduce (降低) cholesterol. Green is good for our eyes, too. It also gives us strong bones and teeth. Blue helps us keep a good memory as we grow old. It also helps our heart. So when you are buying or eating fruit and vegetables, remember to try fruit and vegetables of different colors.

Chopsticks are a pair of small equal-length sticks, usually made of wood, used for eating Asian food. Chopsticks are mainly used in China. And it is believed that the first chopsticks were developed in China. Chopsticks play an important role in Chinese food culture. Chinese chopsticks are usually 9 to 10 inches long. They are round on the eating end which means heaven (天), and the other end is square which means earth. The appearance of chopsticks said goodbye to those days when our Chinese ancestors(祖先)had to use their hands to eat.      

Besides, the use of chopsticks has also been a part of Chinese food culture. There are some taboos that you must pay great attention to when you use chopsticks. Firstly, don't use them to hit your bowl or plate. Secondly, never use them to point at others. Thirdly, don't put them in different food without taking something. Fourthly, don't cross the chopsticks on the table. And lastly, don't leave your chopsticks standing in the rice. Chinese people do this only when they honor (尊重) the dead.

Nowadays, chopsticks have many new usages. For example, you can buy a pair as a gift to your friends and relatives. In Chinese, it reads "筷子", which means having sons soon, so a newly-married couple will be very happy to accept it as their wedding gift.

Children all around the world love Lego bricks(乐高积木). With those bricks, they can make anything they want. Lego bricks are a great toy(玩具) to play with. Now, for the first time, Lego makes Braille Bricks in English and French, making them a useful toy for blind(失明的) children. 

Lego Braille Bricks have dots (小圆点) on them. The dots are Braille. By feeling (感受) them, blind children can read words and numbers. They can also learn Braille when playing with the bricks. It makes learning easy and fun. 

Olivia is a blind girl, and she learns Braille when playing with the Lego bricks at her school. She loves to play with them and learn Braille at the same time. Her mother also plays with her at home and now she also knows Braille. 

Reece, a little boy, uses the Lego bricks to teach his family Braille. Now, his mother and sister know Braille as well. He says, "I feel so good. Because my loved ones learn something new and I am their teacher. So cool!"

Lego makes its colourful bricks useful. Let's thank it for bringing a new way of playing and learning!
