About sleep, here are some latest studies and products, as well as fun facts that you might not know.

Prince Lanling in Battle, The Ballad of Mulan.…These ancient pieces of music are cultural codes (密码) shared by Chinese people, but they have long been lost. Liu Jing, a music composer and a pipa player, has brought them back to life by composing again.

The artist started to play the pipa at 5. She took part in competitions and visited a number of foreign countries to give performances. Liu once gave a performance in the UK. As she played a tune (曲子) which described the love story between Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu in the Dream of the Red Chamber, an elderly woman sitting in the first row burst into tears. Later. Liu asked if she had read the story. The woman said, "No, but _____________.

The experience encouraged Liu to develop traditional Chinese music and instruments. Liu started to post online videos of herself playing the pipa, using the online name Liu Qingyao in 2016. At the beginning, she started to play popular music and folk music. However, she found that there were few musical scores (乐谱) that can truly bring out the beauty and power of Chinese music and culture. She decided to make a change by creating some herself.

Prince Lanling in Battle is Liu's most popular work, with more than 17. 5 million views on the video platform Bilibili. The video took her six months to make. Most of that time was spent researching and arranging (编曲) for her instruments. She even paid for field trips to ancient grottoes (洞窟), made clothes according to the paintings on the walls and borrowed instruments from museums. "I want my music to impress people-even foreigners who know nothing about the history or story behind it," Liu said.

Students at an elementary school in California, with the help of their art teacher, created a telephone hotline that people can call to get cheerful advice from kids during difficult times. In just days, the hotline began getting thousands of calls an hour.

In English and Spanish, it offers the happy voices of children sharing positive (积极的) messages. For example, by pressing "3", you can hear a group of kindergartners saying together: "You can do it! Keep trying, don't give up!" Pressing "4" shows the sounds of kids giggling and laughing a sound certain to bring a smile to anyone's face.

Most people agree that with events like COVID-19, bad weather, and war can make people stressful.

Jessica Martin, who teaches art at West Side School in Healdsburg, California, thought her students just might have the magic words needed to bring calm to people in these difficult times. "To hear the simple joy from kids is especially comforting (安慰的), " she says.

Students working on the hotline thought of what they would like to say. When they were ready, Ms. Martin recorded each one. Later, she sorted out the recordings into the different parts of the telephone hotline.

Pressing "1" brings up ideas for people who are "feeling mad, awful or nervous". Helpful suggestions include: "Listen to some light music", "do some sports", or" go get a cookie".

Pressing"2" results in" words of encouragement and life advice". This includes messages like: "The world is a better place with you in it." And "You are okay!"

Reports of the hotline go quickly on social media. The hotline has become crazily popular with stressed people, patients in hospitals, older people in homes, and others who just want to hear the happy voices of children.

Mother's Day was coming, I decided to plan something special for my students' mothers: a Mother's Day Tea. We put heads together to come up with ideas of how to honor our mothers. We practiced singing songs and memorized a poem. We also wrote and decorated our Mother's Day cards.

We decided to hold our tea the Friday before Mother's Day. Each child took home an invitation with the card. I was surprised to see that every mother was planning to attend. I even invited my own mother.

Finally, the big day arrived. At 1:45 that afternoon, each child stood in a line at our classroom door to welcome his or her mom. As it got closer to starting time, I looked around and my eyes quickly found Jimmy. His mother hadn't come and he was looking nervous.

I took my mother by the hand and walked over to Jimmy, "Jimmy, " I said, "have a bit of a problem here and I was wondering if you could help out. I'm going to be really busy introducing our songs, our poem. I was wondering if you could keep my mother company while I'm busy. You could get her cookies, and give her the candle I made when it's the time. "

My mom sat a table with Jimmy. Jimmy served my mom his cards, presented her with the gift I had made, just as we practiced the day before. Whenever I looked over, my mother and Jimmy were in deep conversation.

10 years later, I met Jimmy in Montana by chance. We spent a day near the beach of Montana. On the way back, he gave me a yellow notebook which he had written, "Remember our Mother's Day tea we had in second grade, Mrs. Marra? I do! Thanks for all you did for me, and thank your mother, too. "

After the sun set, it was the time to say goodbye. As my bus driver began starting, Jimmy ran back and knocked on the bus door. I thought he had forgotten something. He jumped back on board and gave me a big hug. "Thanks again, Mrs. Marra."

It was a hug from a teenage boy who I have never forgotten.
