You might not pay much attention to whether the things you say on WeChat and other online messaging apps are recorded. But a regulation (规定) that went into effect on May 1 will make everything you say online usable against you in a court of law (法庭).

    According to the Supreme People's Court's regulation, text messages, emails, and content posted on websites or instant (即时的) messaging platforms can be used as evidence (证据) in civil lawsuits (民事诉讼).

    The idea of digital evidence was first introduced as part of China's Civil Procedure Law in 2012. However, the recent regulation has made it clearer.

    "This is the first time the Supreme People's Court has clarified (阐明) the scope of digital evidence, especially on social media platforms and instant messaging services," Li Ya, a lawyer in Beijing, told China Daily.

   The regulation was introduced to keep up with changes in social development. Social media activity has become a part of most people's lives. Therefore, digital evidence is playing an increasingly important role in civil and criminal lawsuits.

    According to the regulation, if people plan to use digital evidence in a lawsuit, they have to first prove that they use the app or website that the evidence comes from. Second, they must provide an original (原始的) and complete record of the evidence. For example, if you lend somebody money through WeChat, you must keep the original transfer (转账) records and conversations on the app.

    However, there are still questions about the regulation. Some point out that the regulation will not necessarily help in every case. "How to make sure a microblog was actually posted by the micro blogger is a challenge," Li said.

Have you ever tried traditional Chinese medicine （TCM）？It's becoming popular among young people. According to the results of a 2023 survey by China Youth Daily，93. 3 percent of the young people said they had tried different kinds of TCM treatment methods such as tuina. 

"Many young people in their 20s come to me for neck and back pains which are usually connected with the elderly，"said Ma Huifang，a professor at Beijing University of Chinese Medicine，who is also a TCM doctor. "I have noticed such diseases becoming more common among a younger age group. "When faced with the choice between Western medicine and TCM，young people often prefer TCM because it does work for these diseases，according to Ma. "One of TCM's main advantages is that it can provide a more proper and personalized medical method for different patients，"Ma added. 

TCM has a growing influence on young people's lives，too. Many of them not only add TCM practices into their daily lives，but also learn TCM skills to treat themselves and others.

Dear Mike:

How are you? I am glad to tell you my new school.

What about your school? I am looking forward to your emails. 

Yours 

Li Hua

 Guo Guangpu, a university professor, can be a bit odd outside the classroom, especially when he is seen sniffing(闻) bird droppings, or even pretending to eat them for dramatic effect.

 This dramatic way of teaching has proved to be effective. To date, Guo has made more than  100 short science videos about animals and plants, as well as eco logy systems. People can find information on a wide range of interesting natural phenomena(现象) in Guo's educational videos on the popular short video- sharing platform Douyin.

 His followers have watched his trips to learn about unusual knowledge. For example, they can see lychee in Dongguan of Guangdong province, Asiatic toad (蟾蜍) in Zhejiang province, and weird fruits of various shapes and sizes in Yunnan province.

" Science videos are not easy to make. You have to be professional as well as lively and interesting. Only in this way can people with different levels of knowledge understand," Guo says. Therefore, he needs to look up plenty of information to make sure that there are no mistakes in his videos. While presenting the knowledge, he also tries his best to deliver the information in plain words.

 As a result, his efforts have attracted more than 14,000 followers since March. Some of his videos have received as many as 17,000 likes.

" With the help of Professor Guo,I am able to appreciate the beautiful land across the country even without leaving home," says Ren Jiaxi, one of Guo's Douyi n followers." His video encourages my interest in learning," Ren adds.

 Do you know the Torch Festival? It's an important festival, which the Yi people usually hold on the 24th or 25th day of the sixth lunar month.

{#blank#}1{#/blank#}

 The Torch Festival has a long history. It is mainly held in areas where the Yi people live in large numbers, and it is deeply rooted in their culture. It is said that the people in ancient times used fire to drive away bad spirits and wish for a good harvest in the following year.

{#blank#}2{#/blank#}

 Before the festival arrives, people often clean their houses carefully to welcome the Torch Festival. This means getting rid of the old and welcomeing the new. During the festival, people light torches and carry them around. There are also different activities such as dancing, singing and sheepfighting. People wear their traditional clothes and enjoy delicious food.

{#blank#}3{#/blank#}

 The Torch Festival holds great meanings. It stands for people's expectation of light, hope, and success. It is also a time for families to be together. What's more, it develops cultural exchanges and understanding in different ethnic groups(族群).

{#blank#}4{#/blank#}

 The festival attracts the attention of people from all over the world. More people are increasingly interested in this festival. However, this also brings some worries. Efforts will be made to reduce the bad influence on the environment while keeping the traditional cultural customs.
