Crab Farming - China

Li Nan (C) and farmers stand by a crab pond in Xuegong Village, Linyi County, north China's Shanxi Province, Aug. 13, 2024. Located on the bank of the Yellow River, Xuegong Village boasts over 333.3 hectares of Yellow River tidal flats and nearly 333.3 hectares of barren ditches. In recent years, the local community has integrated these lands to develop specialized aquaculture. The Yellow River tidal flats with lush aquatic plants provide excellent conditions for crab growth. 39-year-old Li Nan returned home to start a crab farming business four years ago. Farming crabs was not easy. In the first two years of his venture, due to immature aquaculture techniques, the survival rate of the crabs in his ponds was only about 30%. Through continuous exploration, the survival rate of the crabs he farmed increased significantly. After several years of dedicated research, Li Nan has now become a well-known "crab farming expert" in the area, and his crab ponds have expanded to 33.35 hectares. Villagers frequently come t

Preschool Education in China

YANTAI, CHINA - MAY 29, 2024 - Children water plants at the Second Experimental Kindergarten in Yantai High-tech Zone, East China's Shandong province, May 29, 2024. According to the Report on Population Change and the Development Strategy of Preschool Education (2024), from 2021 to 2023, preschool education will usher in an inflection point in the balance of total supply and demand. According to the current trend of a sharp decline in China's birth population, and the low fertility rate will remain in the future, the total size of children in kindergartens will fall off a cliff after 2023. By 2025, even with a 95% penetration rate estimated, the number of people in the park will likely drop to about 30 million; Attendance will also drop to around 9.5 to 10 million.

(240403) -- LHASA, April 3, 2024 (Xinhua) -- Lozang Gonpo waters plants at home in Lhasa, southwest China's Xizang Autonomous Region, March 27, 2024. Lozang Gonpo was born in 1949. His childhood memories are fraught with tales of poverty, scarcity, and hardship. Hailing from a family of shoemakers, Lozang Gonpo's upbringing was characterized by early mornings spent learning the craft alongside his parents and grandparents. "In those days, our humble abode, barely 30 square meters, served as shelter for our family of seven," he recalls. "With four children in the house, we shared a single bed and just one blanket, while clothes were washed and worn tirelessly." The burden of a grain tax, amounting to 70 kilograms per person annually, loomed heavily over their heads. "If we had grain, we paid with grain; if not, we resorted to selling shoes to meet our obligations," Lozang Gonpo explains. Following the democratic reform in Xizang in 1959, Lozang Gonpo was finally able to start a brand new life. At the

CHINA-FUJIAN-XIAMEN-YUNDANG LAKE-ECOLOGICAL TRANSFORMATION (CN)

(240221) -- XIAMEN, Feb. 21, 2024 (Xinhua) -- People have fun at a park beside the Yundang Lake in Xiamen, southeast China's Fujian Province, Jan. 24, 2024. The Yundang Lake basin covers an area of 37 square km. Once a harbor connected to the sea, it was well known for its fishing culture. In the 1970s, people reclaimed land from the sea in order to increase grain production, and Yundang became an inner lake. As the population and factories increased, water pollution grew steadily. Industrial wastewater from over 100 factories was discharged directly into the lake, together with untreated sewage from hundreds of thousands of local residents. In the mid-to-late 1980s, various measures were implemented to turn the tide and restore the lake to its former state of health. Industrial enterprises around the lake were all shut down and relocated, sewage plants were built, and seawater was channeled into the lake to revitalize the water body.
