The 11 students went to many restaurants and told people the importance of saving food.“Excuse me, do you know that 950 million people around the world still haven’t got enough to eat? Could you please not waste food?” They would say this kind of thing hundreds of times every day.
The Clean Your Plate Campaign began on the Internet in January. It
China in these years had serious problems with wasted food. CCTV reported in January that the food Chinese people waste every year is enough to feed 200 million people for a year.
Chinese people are well known for being hospitable (好客的) and generous. Many even feel that they lose face if their guests have eaten all their food.

People can enjoy a free meal when they have 10 stickers. More than 750 restaurants in Beijing have begun to offer smaller dishes and encourage their guests to take leftovers(吃剩的食物) home.

China's telecommunication giant(通讯巨头)Huawei has launched an App called Story Sign that will make it easier for deaf children and their parents to read bedtime stories.
The App uses image and optical(视觉的)character recognition(识别)to help deaf children to read by turning written text into a show of sign language. Users can also choose a book from the App's book library that is shown in sign language using active characters. The first book on the Story Sign platform is the popular children's book Spot the Dog. The developers aimed to make the App's main character Star interesting for both boys and girls.
“We created Story Sign to help make it possible for families with deaf children to enjoy a colorful story time,” said Andrew Garrihy, Huawei's CMO for Western Europe. “We hope that by making people realize the deaf literacy issues(识字问题), people will be encouraged to give support to one of the fantastic charity partners whom we are working with.”
There are about 32 million deaf children around the world. Many struggle(挣扎)to learn to read, often because of a lack of resources that bridge the gap between sign language and written text. The App gives deaf children a tool that its creators hope will make it easier for them to read. The App can be downloaded from App stores in 10 different languages, including English, French, German and Italian.
