China’s Spring Festival blockbuster（大片） “Hi, Mom” beat the 2017 American superhero film “Wonder Woman” at 5.39 billion yuan on Tuesday and made Chinese film director Jia Ling overtake Patty Jenkins to be the world’s highest-grossing female director for a single film.

The achievement was made 54 days after its release on February 12, the first day of Chinese New Year. “Hi, Mom” is currently the second highest-grossing film only after the 2017 action-adventure film “Wolf Warrior 2”, according to China’s movie-ticketing platform. They are the only two domestic-produced films among the top 100 grossing films worldwide.

“Hi, Mom” is the first film directed by Jia Ling, who is a comedian and actress. It stars Jia who was saddened by her mother Li Huanying’s accidental death, magically transported back to 1981 to become a friend of her mother and tried her best to delight and planned a better life for her mother.

“Although the film has a strong individual mark, it causes many people’s empathy,” said professor Tian Huiqun at the School of Arts and Communication of Beijing Normal University. He added that it is hard to copy the film’s success since Jia and the film itself cannot be reproduced.

The success of “Hi, Mom” also became a milestone to mark the growth of “ She power” in the man-dominated film industry in the last ten years. However, some film critics say that the film’s success is just because people are interested in women topics for the time being, and money goes to people’s interest.

“Women creating films is still not an easy task,” Dong Yige, assistant professor in the Department of Global Gender and Sexuality Studies at University at Buffalo, “Why not use female audiences’ power to push the women creation?”

Can a green machine help the world’s poorest kids learn better? Nicholas Negroponte thinks so. He and his team of scientists have invented a new type of computer. As a result, many children who live in poverty (贫穷) will have their own laptop computers!

Negroponte works at a university. He started a group called One Laptop Per Child (OLPC). The people at OLPC don’t work for money. They work to help children learn. OLPC makes computers that don’t cost a lot. Then they sell the machines to governments of countries that have many people live in poverty. The governments then give the computes to kids for free.

The XO Laptop computers are made for school-aged children in developing nations. Many of these children live in faraway areas and go to schools with classrooms. In order to work, the laptops have to be lasting and student-friendly.

The machines have many fun characters like a built-in video camera, voice recording, and games. The WiFi lets students share information on the Web and read e-books. They also can make music and chat with friends.

Another great character is that it can last for a long time. It can be hand charged and also can be recharged by connecting to a solar panel. Because of these characters the XO laptops make learning fun while helping the environment.

The computers have a colorful name—“the green machine”. Negroponte thinks they could make a difference in the lives of millions of kids. He says, “Every problem you can think of—poverty, peace, the environment—is solved with education.”

OLPC plans to give out over ten million computers in the next few years. Kids in Thailand, Nigeria, Brazil, and Argentina will get most of them. China and Egypt also want to take part in the program. After that, Negroponte hopes to sell computers to other countries with high poverty.
