(240519) -- HEFEI, May 19, 2024 (Xinhua) -- An aerial drone photo taken on May 10, 2024 shows a Yangtze finless porpoise relocation conservation base in Tongling River Dolphin National Nature Reserve in Tongling, east China's Anhui Province. Known as the "giant panda of the water," the Yangtze finless porpoise, which is under top-level state protection in China, is an important indicator of the health of the Yangtze River ecology. This species can only be found in the middle and lower main streams of the Yangtze River. Zhang Bajin, 62, an ex-crewman of the cargo ship on the Yangtze River, has been working as a breeder at a Yangtze finless porpoise relocation conservation base in Tongling River Dolphin National Nature Reserve since 2006. After a dozen years of care and feeding, Zhang can distinguish each Yangtze finless porpoise through subtle differences. Thanks to the joint efforts of Zhang and his colleagues, the number of Yangtze finless porpoise in the base has grown from four to more than a dozen now.

(240427) -- LIUZHOU, April 27, 2024 (Xinhua) -- Liang Zuying and her family pose for a photo in Wuying Village of Rongshui Miao Autonomous County, south China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, Feb. 13, 2019. Liang Zuying, 48, hails from Wuying Village, a Miao ethnic-minority hamlet that is hidden deep in the towering mountains straddling Guangxi and Guizhou. In the past, the impassable mountains and rugged landscape rendered locals extremely poor. Due to their traditional views and poor family conditions, many parents did not send their daughters to school. Liang and many other women in the village received little education and could neither read nor speak Mandarin, a major impediment that isolated them from the outside world. From March 2020, local authorities initiated a training program in Wuying Village to teach ethnic women Mandarin, in a bid to remove language barriers between them and people beyond the village, while improving their communication and vocational skills. So far, more than 1,000 M

The Yin Ruins, which is located in Anyang of central China's Henan Province, is the first documented late Shang Dynasty (1600-1046 B.C.) capital site in China, as confirmed by archaeological excavations and oracle bone inscriptions.
