Qu Juanru is the official inheritor(官方继承人) of Jiaxing City Tongxiang flower­drum opera. She began to be on the stage when she was a teenager. "My mother died when I was 14. I've lived with my father since then. In the old days, women were not allowed to perform opera. However, my father always supported me when I tried to sing," Qu said.

Qu started performing in the local troupe(剧团) called Aimin Flower­Drum Opera. Later, the troupe was disbanded(解散), and she went back to farming.

After that, the young girl tried to set up the troupe several times but failed. She really lived a hard life at that time. But she didn't give up.

In 2001, some developers planned to rebuild Wuzhen. They thought a place which has no culture is of little significance(意义). So they wanted to bring back local customs, including the Tongxiang flower­drum opera. Qu was their only hope.

Knowing she could sing again, Qu was so excited. Whether it's cold or hot, Qu always gives her everything on stage in Wuzhen. She has six rounds(场) of performing every day and each round lasts 30 minutes. In 2017, she was badly ill, yet it didn't stop her.

"I can still sing and perform. I'd love to be here," Qu said. In her opinion, opera life is a wonderful dream that can't be missed.

A mother was not ready to go on a hike, so her two little girls decided to go themselves. Then they went missing in the 1 .

It all started on a Friday afternoon when 8-year-old Laura Brown and her sister Caroline Brown asked their mom if they could go on a 2 . The family usually goes on weekend camping trips and hike, 3 it was nothing unusual. But things took a turn when the sisters 4 walked too far.

The girls then realized that they were lost.

Though Caroline and Laura were 5 , they remembered all the survival (生存) 6 that they learned while they were in the local youth club.

As it was very cold during their first night in the wild, the girls hugged together under a huckleberry bush (丛林) for 7 . They drank fresh water from huckleberry leaves and Laura 8 her younger sister to think happy thoughts about their family.

At the same time  their parents became 9 and afraid when their children failed to return home before dark. They called the police and a team of 250 people soon started to search 10 the girls.

The two girls spent another 11 in their "huckleberry home" as they waited for people to find them. Both nights, Laura kept watching for wild animals while her younger sister was sleeping.

12 , on Sunday afternoon, the girls heard people calling their names and shouted back. 

13 was happy to find that the girls were safe.

"I am trying not to 14 them." their mother, Misty Brown said. "They saved each other. I'm the 15 mom. They are superheroes."
