Do you know Damo Uncle? In February, Damo Uncle posted a video online. It was about how the BBC distorted (歪曲) news about China by using camera tricks. The video had been watched more than 13 million times on Sina Weibo. Damo Uncle said he made the video because he could not stand how BBC reported China.

In fact, Chinese people are no longer silent when they face distorted news. China Daily says, Social media platforms such as Sina Weibo and Douyin give them a place to show their anger and speak out their opinions.

“In the past, Chinese people were not used to, or could not, communicate well with the world,” said Ji Zhiye, a member of the 13th National Committee of the Chinese people’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC,中国政治协商会议). “As they enjoy better lives and become more confident, they now have time and are able to speak out their feelings about wrong information about China and openly talk about it.”

For example, the Better Cotton Initiative (BCI) says Xinjiang may use forced labor (强制劳动), which is far from the truth. However, some Western companies, including H&M and Nike, say they will stop using cotton (棉花) from Xinjiang. These stories make Chinese people really angry. They started the “I support Xinjiang cotton” activity online.

“We welcome criticism (批评) on China, but it should be fair and based on (基于) facts. Criticism based on lies and double standards is meaningless,” Damo Uncle said.

People can procrastinate (拖延) on almost anything, even enjoyable things such as planning a vacation. Research has shown that the top things young people procrastinate are studying, going to bed and visiting their relatives. “The main reason for procrastination is that people are afraid of failure,” says professor Peter Stone.

Some people believe procrastination will make them work more effectively (有效地). But researchers disagree. “I did a study several years ago, asking procrastinators to finish a job in a certain period of time,” says Stone. “They did worse than non-procrastinators. They made more mistakes and they took longer.” Procrastination is usually not good for you. For example, bedtime procrastination can lead to sleeplessness, which in turn can cause many other health problems.

What can be done to stop procrastinating? The best advice is to do what you need to do as quickly as possible. If you want to develop a habit of exercise, just put on your walking shoes.

Next, find something to help you stop procrastinating. For example, if you want to go to bed at 10: 30 pm, you might set a timed dimmer switch (渐暗开关) at 10 pm. When the lights are darker, you’ll start going to bed. It works for most people.

Finally, reward (奖励) yourself every time you make progress. For example, after you’ve run 3 kilometers, enjoy your favorite ice-cream.
