They are creating their own history to pass on. Renowned as the ice city in China it can reach minus 38 degrees Fahrenheit in winter. Nearly 10,000 workers have been dragging and cutting giant blocks of ice from the frozen Songhua river, 550-pound ice cubes. This is a new festival but based on the17th century tradition, when fishermen carved lanterns from ice.Over the next week, artists will race to transform this plentiful local resource into a giant frozen wonderland--the Harbin ice and snow festival.“We should embrace this unique climate that God had blessed upon us. 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.

Laid out its individual sections it stretches for13,000 miles longer than the length of North and South America combined.In 221 BC, the first emperor of China decided to stop the constant conflict by uniting the country against foreign invaders. He ordered existing and scattered fortifications to be connected into one Great wall.But in the ancient “The Great Wall has not much practical use in the modern age.times, it served as a defense fortress during wartime.

鸟瞰中国-China from Above(下)_27.Space Race
鸟瞰中国-China from Above（下）_27.Space RaceI. ScriptNew technological advances have seeing them enter the space race with the US and Russia for the first time. China has entered the space race from the first Chinese astronaut to walk in space in 2008. Now they are building their own space station. Back on earth in Xinglong near the capital of Beijing the Chinese are also mapping their heavens with high-tech telescopes. After all, they were among the planet’s first astronomers.This is the LAMOST telescope, an incredibly powerful telescope designed to capture wide swings of space. When fully operational, it’ll become the world’s most powerful telescope of its class. It will map 10 million stars in our galaxy and a million other galaxies beyond. But even LAMOST w ill soon be dwarfed by one of China’s latest engineering marvel.1112 miles southwest in the mountains in GuiZhou, China is building a telescope that will take another cosmic leap into the future. With a diameter of 1600 feet, it’ll be more than one and a half times as big as the world’s largest telescope. This gargantuan eye for the night sky will see extra planetary transmissions one thousand light years away.During the Song Dynasty in the year 1054, Chinese astronomers discovered a star, That went supernova in a flash of white light. When this telescope is complete, maybe our first target is to look at star again. It will be a way of connecting our future, present and ancient past, The chief scientist Prof Nan Rendong says.For the telescope to operate e ffectively, it’s located in a remote area with no electronic interference or noise pollution. But the engineers are working at the very edge of what’s possibleZhang Guoqiang, the engineer, says, We are like tiny spiders trying to weave a 500 meter wide web, this web has over 6000 joints and weights over 1500 tonnes. If a single joint is not installed in place properly, we will not be able to achieve the shape we need. The biggest risk is that I have over a hundred workers at a height of 60 meters and above. It’s an unimaginable risk. You may think tightrope walkers have a risky job, but my workers are treading tightropes every day. We engineers do not like to build projects that are too big as they are very difficult. But when faced with natural conditions that force us to build something this big, we are willing to do it because we are always looking to challenge ourselves. We want to find out whether we can do it and how well we can do it. China is now well and truly part of a new space race and efforts to understand the origins of our universe.I I.T r a n s l a t i o n新技术的进步见证着中国进入太空竞赛的脚步和美国和俄罗斯首次同台竞艺，中国已加入太空竞赛，肇始于2008年首位中国航天员的太空漫步，而如今他们正在建立他们自己的空间站。

The Buddhism was‟t always about peaceful meditation . More than a millennium ago, its priests had to learn how to defend themselves in China warlike past.•According to legend this secluded monastery is not only the birthplace of Zen Buddhism. Here trained the legendary Shaolin monks. This fifteen-hundred-year-old fusion of Kungfu and religion is kept alive by the neat order of monks that inspired over a hundred martial arts movies. And it still attracts Kungfu apprentices from all over China.•“I‟m 18 years old. I come from Anhui Province. I have been in Shaolin Temple since I was 13. Since I was young, I have always wanted to become a Shaolin warrior monk.”•The origins of the order are lost in legend. But it‟s believed the first two Chinese disciples to join the monastery brought martial arts skills with them. Those skills were blended with Buddhism and Shaolin Kungfu was born.•“The difference between Sh aolin Kungfu and other schools of Martial Arts is that it encompasses Zen. Zen is cultivation of the mind, an inner mediation of the heart.”•This balance between mastery of the mind and body made the monks a key fighting force during the Tang Dynasty, helping Emperor Lee ShiMin to seize the throne in the early 7th century.•“The training is very tough, so tough to the extent that you almost want to give up. But I have to persevere. I must train harder and do better than my peers.”•“He (Yan Fei) is consid ered quite good, because he is able to endure hardship.”•Today Yan Fei has a crucial assessment sparring with his weapons master. He must prove proficient with complex San Jie Gun, also known as the triple stick. He‟s already failed this once before. “At first, it was really tough practicing with the triple stick. I couldn‟t control it, it was making a fool of me.But after years of practice, I have learnt how to manage it.” In the end Yan passes this most demanding of tests with flying colors.•“There is a saying in China that goes like: …Shifu (Master) brings you through the door but the practice lies within the man himself.‟ I can only guide him, show him the way.”Shaolin‟s legacy is monastic dedication and focus. Today this ancient fighting tradition is not just part of Chinese folk law, but has seeped into western popular culture too. Shaolin monks are the inspiration for countless books, comics and movies like the Jedi Knights of Star Wars.T r a n s l a t i o n在遥远北方的嵩山有着亚洲最具标志意义的佛寺。

Lesson 22 Fossil FuelsI. ScriptTo provide the energy needed to power China‟s growth mean s supplying the nation‟s pow er plants with vast quantities of fossil fuels. This is where another innovative engineering project comes in. This container ship as long as three football pitches, is not carrying shoes or smart phones to the west, it‟s transporting liquid natural gas to the rest of China.“Constructing this ship requires precision from its structure to its internal fittings, especially its cargo hold and cargo management devices. Because it is more complex than other ships, in terms of its mechanisms and components.” Liquid natural gas has to be stored at minus two hundred and sixty degrees Fahrenheit more than three times as cold as the Antarctic winter, capturing this much gas at high pressure is a complex and dangerous engineering task.“The fact that we are able to build this, an LNG carrier, one of the world‟s complex ships, proves we have reached a global milestone in engineering.”China‟s unrelenting growth has produced a negative impact that affects the health of the majority of its people. It has the worst pollution levels on our planet. To replace fossil fuels Chinese engineers are in a race against time to build giant wind farms.China‟s rapid ly-growing cities have caused pollution on a scale not seen in history, coal and car pollutants often produce a permanent twilight in Shanghai, Beijing and other cities. Sunlight is often unable to pierce the glue, even plants struggle to photosynthesis of on the worst days.I I.T r a n s l a t i o n为中华崛起提供所需能量，意味着要给这个国家的发电站提供大量的化石燃料，这就要谈到一个革故鼎新的工程项目。

For the new urban middle-class, the summer brings a new western-style holiday into their calendar, the beach holiday. And for the many landlocked Chinese, traveling to far-flung seaside resorts is not an option. The answer creates the world‟s largest artificial beach. 800 miles inland from coastal China, the new Chinese middle class like to spend their leisure time by the water without having to travel miles to get to the beach. This artificial beach resort can hold up to 10,000 visitors. So successful, it‟s become a unique attraction in its own right and now draws visitors from as far and wide as Beijing 875 miles away. “We are friends who often travel together.” “Other friends recommended this place to us. We did more research on the internet and found out that the waters are good for our body and skin. Women at our age are very concerned about our skin. ” It‟s not just an artificial sea resort. There‟s one of the world‟s biggest indoor swimming pool here too. A giant wave machine is its main attraction. The Chinese name for this incredible sight is dumpling soup. “That was too exciting! We have not experienced something like this in decades. It‟s like going back to the time when I was in my twenties. This place is a children‟s playground. It allows us to relive our childhood! ” When the Chinese aren‟t splashing out on beach holidays, they‟re turning to television and cinema for their entertainment. China‟s movie market is now the world‟s second-largest with tens of thousands of cinema screens and homegrown production is booming. Translation 中国农历新年始伊始于春初。对于新的都市中产阶级来说，炎炎夏日带来了一个新的西方风格的节日——海滨度假日。而对许多居住在内陆的中国人，去遥远的海滨度假胜地是不现实的，这个问题催生出了世界上最大的人造沙滩。 在距沿海一千二百多公里的内陆地区，中国的新中产阶级乐于将他们的休闲时间花费在人造海滩上，不必为去海滩而跋山涉水。这个人工海滩度假区可容纳一万名游客，如此蒸蒸日上，它成为了一道独特而靓丽的风景线。如今它吸引着远至一千四百多公里外的从北京千里迢迢而来的游客。 “我们是朋友，所以我们经常两个人结伴出来旅游的。” “这里通过朋友介绍，然后我们自己在网上查了一下，这里对身体和皮肤都非常有帮助。像我们这种年龄很讲究皮肤的。”并非人工海滩一枝独秀，世界上最大的室内泳池之一也位于此地。 令人欲罢不能的正是这巨大的造浪机，中国人将这个不可思议的场景称作下饺子。“太好玩了，太激动了！这种场面我们一般的几十年没有看到了，这样仿佛就是我回到了二十岁的时候，这里是儿童乐园，让我们回到了童年的时候了。” 当中国人不再为海滨度假挥金如土时，他们开始将观看影视作品作为娱乐的方式。中国电影市场的规模如今已成世界第二。伴随着成千上万块新增银幕，本地电影也蒸蒸日上。 VII.
