The 4K edition of The Legend of Sealed Book hit cinemas on 5th November 2021, It is a Chinese cartoon film from 38 years ago. The story comes from a Chinese old story. Yuangong, who comes from heaven, finds a book with amazing skills and lets the boy Dansheng practise them. Film workers borrowed cultural elements(元素) from opera and painting. The looks of many characters come from Peking Opera face makeup(装扮).Lovely Dansheng looks like wawasheng, roles for kids in Peking Opera. A fox wears huadan makeup to make her more attractive. Huadan is the young female role in Peking Opera. "Funny and beautiful"— these are what the artist worked hard for, according to the film's director Qian Yunda.

Another cartoon, Little Tadpole Looking for Mummy was drawn with ink and brush. The designers learned from the great artist Qi Baishi. The black tadpoles (蝌蚪), pink flowers, yellow chickens and red goldfish… all come to life! Cartoon artists painted in both realistic and poetic(富有诗意的) styles. They used simple and thin lines to paint character, but they used the ink wash painting style to paint mountains, trees and water.

These cartoons give us a taste of Chinese culture. They have a real Chinese style."Classical Chinese cartoons show us how colourful and rich our cultures are. I respect the artists who made them,"said an actor.

Nature was Chen Rui's "childhood home". The 37-year-old researcher at the Chinese Academy of Sciences' Institute of Zoology was not able to talk until he was 4 years old because of the way his brain processes sensory (感官) information. 

This made him "strange" in some people's minds. So, he didn't have friends who were around his age, which led him to turn his attention to nonhuman things around him. He became enraptured by the world of insects. "The happiest time of my childhood was in the farm fields," says Chen. "I squatted there, observing the actions of insects. I had so many questions about their activities and was full of curiosity about this world." These experiences planted a seed in his heart. 

Many years later, he's an expert in life-science research. He has visited the Amazon rainforest several times, and has found around 100 new species (物种), many of which are named after him. 

"I was a child who was ‘cured (治愈)' by nature," he says. "I wanted to grow up to share the power of nature with more young people and to popularize understanding of animals, including insects. I wanted to start classes to bring children to learn in the open air and experience the gifts nature gives." These led him to recently publish the popular science book, Du Chong Ji (Reading About Insects) 

"Insects were the earliest creatures that could fly and feed themselves by farming. They have survived three mass extinctions (大规模灭绝). No other living things have won such victories." He hopes that people will learn and draw inspiration from the "superpowers" of insects and use it to improve their own lives.

It's often believed that only grown﹣ups can make a difference. Is it true?Tea Vogue interviewed some teenagers across the world. Get ready to be inspired (启发). 

16﹣year﹣old Michael began using social media to cheer up teenagers of his age to follow their dreams on his baseball blogs. Michael talked about sportspeople and how they would face their challenges. 

Lesein,14 years old,first learned about climate change when he was twelve years old. His home country,650 acres of forest each year. 

With a deep love of soccer,Lesein started Trees for Goals,planting a tree for every goal he scored in a match. Later the school's soccer and basketball teams all followed him. In 2019,000 trees in forests outside of Nairobi were planted. Now the government provides trees for them to plant. 

Alexis Lewis,a 15﹣year﹣old inventor designed a simple wheelchair with bamboo to help poor people who need to transport children many miles to hospitals. Another invention of his is a special mask which can be thrown through a window of a smoke﹣filled building to people inside. 

Alexis said, "People are dying in a fire accident because they can't be saved in time,Another reason why I want to invent something is that I love physics and I use it to improve technologies. " Alexis also told our reporter that he wanted children to know that inventors can be everybody who's ever tried to solve a problem. 

These young people are certainly shining examples to show you're never too young to make a difference.
