A Philippine coast guard vessel on Saturday intentionally rammed a Chinese law-enforcement ship in the lagoon of Xianbin Jiao of China's Nansha Qundao, said Liu Dejun, a spokesperson of the China Coast Guard (CCG).
Liu said the unprofessional and dangerous maneuver resulted in scrapes, with all responsibility lying with the Philippine side. The vessel had been illegally anchoring in Xianbin Jiao, according to the spokesperson.
The CCG has warned the Philippine side to face up to reality and abandon illusions, stating that immediate withdrawal from the area is the only correct course of action. (Xinhua/Guo Liangchuan)
Through the technology, the actions of professional stuntmen dressed in customized suits with reflective points are recorded from all angles, processed into virtual data and finally presented on in-game characters.
Yin Kai, hailing from Shandong Province, is among the game's motion capture crew. He undertook the majority of the action work for the game's protagonist, a monkey character based on the classic Chinese novel Journey to the West.
Inspired by TV stars such as Jackie Chan and Jet Li, the young Kong Fu enthusiast began practicing martial arts at the age of five and majored in martial arts performance at Shanghai University of Sport.
To make the combat scenes more engaging both technically and artistically, Yin integrated a variety of elements from Chinese martial arts and traditional opera.
He also used nuanced body gestures to express different facets of his characters. For instance, Yin dived into meticulous observation and emulation in order to vividly present the animality and intelligence of the game protagonist.
Since its release on Aug. 20, "Black Myth: Wukong" has taken the gaming world by storm, selling over 10 million copies across all platforms within three days of release.
As a participant of the game's production, Yin also shared the pride and joy following its success. "Seeing that my performance is loved by the gamers, I feel all the hard labor I put into is worthwhile," he said. (Xinhua/Mao Siqian)
Juncao is a hybrid grass and an important multifunctional agricultural resource developed and used for mushroom farming in China. Invented by Lin Zhanxi from China's Fujian Agriculture and Forestry University (FAFU) in the 1980s, Juncao has benefited more than 100 countries, including Rwanda, allowing smallholder farmers to grow mushrooms from dried, chopped grass without cutting down trees and damaging the environment.
Hatungimana Mediatrice, a coordinator for the Juncao project in Rwanda, came to FAFU in 2017 to pursue a master's degree in microbiology in biology. The following year, her husband Nsanzinshuti Aimable joined her to study and live in Fujian. Under the tutelage of Professor Lin Zhanxi, both Mediatrice and Aimable have successfully obtained their master's degrees. In order to have a deeper understanding of Juncao technology, the Rwandan couple chose to stay at FAFU for doctorates.
"The Juncao technology is beneficial to developing countries, especially to rural areas that need development," said Aimable. "My wife and I will return home after completing our studies in China and bring back the Juncao technology to our hometown to help people of our country. I believe they will have a better life by using Juncao technology." (Xinhua/Lin Shanchuan)
