And open our hearts to the world, despite the cold weather.”This event has grown into the largest ice festive in the world.“The weather is our biggest challenge.We’re on tight deadlines. All the ice is sourced from the Songhua River. If the ice is not thick enough, we will not be able toharvest it. And construction will be delayed. Luckily the weather condition this year is good. Every sculpture is just like my own child. I watch them grow up every day. It’s not just a job, we are emotionally devoted to transform this park into a magnificent piece of art and present this to visitors.”Opening day is here. A city of ice has risen. Covering an area the size of 150- football fields. But it’s the night which sees the Ice City in its full splendor.By standing on the shoulders of their ancestors, the Chinese have through genius agriculture and engineering traditions become a nation that’s developed from a p oor rural back water to one of the fastest developing countries in the history of mankind. But what does the future hold for China on the threshold the 21st century? How will China tackle modern issues as energy pollution and overpopulation and how does a nation of nearly 1.4 billion people work and play?Translation横贯全国，在东北深处，哈尔滨人并不像哈萨克人一样秉承古老的传统，而是自己创造历史以传千秋。

Lesson 9. Rice TerracesI. Script1533 miles away in southeast Yunnan, the locals have their own agricultural mountain to overcome--how to grow China?s greatest staple: rice. Here there?s plenty of water, but stopping it draining away is the problem.Thirteen hundred years ago the local Hani people miraculously transformed the landscape. To grow their crops, they hand carved rice paddies into the mountains to trap the water.“ We are able to enjoy such blessed lives todaythanks to our ancestors?hard work and endurance. ”Rising above 6000 feet and spreading over 30086 miles lager than the size of New York city, the terraces harness the power of the mountain?s natural ecosystem.“The local here have a saying:,the higher the mountains, the higher the water source?.The water stored in forests forms natural reservoirs.”It acts like a giant recycling machine. The water evaporates from the river valleys to form fog and cloud. The clouds are then trapped by the mountain forests, and then rainfalls and flows back down through the terraces in a never ending cycle.“ We are deeply connected to the terracesBecause. of the terraces, we are able to have food, clothing and shelter. The terraces are the foundation from which we are able to reproduce and survive. And they symbolize the strength and the spirit of the tribe. ”This type of wet-field agriculture was invented in China. And using these ancient farming traditions passed down through the generations, is how China feeds the biggest population on earth.I I .Translation两千五百公里外，东南部的云南省，当地的人们在发展农业上有其独特的艰难险阻 --即如何种植中国最重要的主食，大米。

Lesson 2. XishuangbannaI. ScriptIn the far southwest, bordering Myanmar and Laos, is Xishuangbanna known forits great river，home to the ancient Dai people. They observe a different calendar tothe rest of China，and in April celebrate their own version of the new year in a unique way. The festival all revolves around water. At this their hottest time of the year, it all begins with an epic 2000-year-old Dragon Boat Race.“I am Yan Honghan from Man Ching Village. We are preparing to head to theriver to take part in the yearly Dragon Boat Competition. This year the boat from our village is the largest among all the participants. We also have the most hands on deck. We are confident that we will win the race this year.”The whole festival kick starts in a distinctly Chinese Way with a bang. Firstprize is given to the fastest boat and that can be achieved with great wisdom and style. You could call it “showboating”.“Everyone has to follow the rhythm and tempo of the drummer. He will guide everyone to r ow in unison. Otherwise, there will be chaos and confusion.”Unfortunately, this year Yang’s boat was on the losing side.“I will definitely take part again next year. Because the dragon boat race is something every Dai man should take part in.” The festival continues the next day with the main event, perhaps the most epicwater fight on earth. Some 100,000 people gather here for the battle. You could sayit’s the ultimate Waterloo. Soaking your opponents on this grand scale has a religious to wash away the sorrows to past year and welcome the new. A tradition basis, it’shanded down for nine hundred years. By dusk the sorrows of the previous year have been well and truly washed away.As night falls the mighty Lancang River is host to one final ritual. Lightinglanterns has long been a Chinese tradition to ward off ghosts.I I.Translation在遥远的西南，毗邻缅甸和老挝，坐落着一个以其大河闻名的城市--西双版纳。

在过去的三十年里，现代化速度超过世界上任何一个国家。
这飞速发展的核心地带，正是此城——上海。
这是如今中国最繁华的城市、金融中心、世界上最繁忙的港口。
两千四百万上海居民，说着他们自己的方言，依靠世界上最大的交通运输系统之一，往返穿梭。
正是这些拔地而起的摩天大楼，才真正吸引了全世界的目光。
其中也包括这样一个人：他毕生的工作就是记录这物换星移。

[纪录⽚]鸟瞰中国——ChinafromAbove上周末我看了⼀部纪录⽚《鸟瞰中国》，觉得特别有意思，想要分享给你。
制作背景《鸟瞰中国》是由中国五洲传播中⼼与美国国家地理频道联合拍摄的纪录⽚，由KNNY PNG、KLAUS TOFT联合执导。
从2013年6⽉开始，到2015年1⽉结束，整个拍摄过程持续了⼀年半时间。
从中国北疆的齐齐哈尔到西南的西双版纳，从遥远的新疆阿勒泰到辽阔的渤海湾，到处都留下了摄制组的⾜迹。
2014年的除⼣之夜，五洲传播中⼼的制⽚⼈李培和摄制组还在冰天雪地中赶路，就是为了⽤摄像机记录百姓们吃年夜饭的温情场景。
还有⼀次，在零下20多摄⽒度的严寒⾥，“五洲”年轻的制⽚⼈张天⽵与摄制组成员顶着7级⼤风⼀起爬上陡峭的岩壁，就为拍摄秃鹫翱翔天空的场景。
为了拍摄初春的第⼀次凌汛，摄制组坐着破冰船出海，为了拍摄世界上最⼤的射电望远镜，摄制组千⾥迢迢赶往位于贵州崇⼭峻岭中的⼀个⼩⼭坳。
内容概要《鸟瞰中国》分为上下两集，第⼀集讲的是中国伟⼤的地理、⼈⽂“奇景”，第⼆集则讲述了现代中国的发展。
第⼀集从傣族的赛龙⾈、泼⽔节，到四川的乐⼭⼤佛、张家界的天门⼭、⼭西的悬空寺、万⾥长城，这部纪录⽚以⼀个鸟瞰的视⾓，为我们展开了⼀幅瑰丽的中国⼭河画卷。
