Surrounded by dozens of high-definition infrared cameras, Ma Xinqi, a motion capture actor, performs in a booth while a visual character on the computer screen records and repeats his movements. "This is called digital twin technology, which can capture specific marks on an actor's body with infrared cameras set in the booth and calculate the actor's movement in milliseconds. The data will be transmitted to the computer for rendering to realize the synchronized performance of an virtual character," said Cui Shengji, a technical consultant of a motion capture booth in the National Animation Industry Park.

On the precipitous cliffs, there are several canals that provide water for nearby farmlands in Shengji Township. One of the daily work for canals' maintenance team members is to clear withered branches and fallen rocks out of the canals. In Shengji Township, it is a typical karst landform. Rainwater swiftly permeates the hills and grounds after falling from the sky, little of which can be left for local people's livelihood. From the 1950s to the 1970s, with support of water conservancy departments, local villagers tirelessly carved out ten canals spanning over 130 kilometers amid the rugged mountains and constructed eight reservoirs.
