China: Tired Lizard Revived With Refreshing Mist in Jiangsu

The filmer then picked up a manual spray bottle and gently sprayed water over the lizard’s body. Almost immediately, the lizard became alert and lifted its head. It closed its eyes while receiving the mist, looking as if it were enjoying the moisture.

Free Education Empowers Rural Girls In Huaping - China

Students head for the canteen after class at Huaping Senior High School for Girls in Huaping County, Lijiang City, southwest China's Yunnan Province, Dec. 23, 2025. Each morning at Huaping High School for Girls in Yunnan Province, the schoolyard rings with a bold pledge, "I was born to be a mountain not a creek, rising to the high peaks with the valleys at my feet."
