In answer to the proposal(倡议) which aims to establish a cooperative relationship between the Silk Road Economic Belt and the 21stcentury Maritime Silk Road(21世纪海上丝绸之路) proposed by President Xi Jinping, and to further deepen the cultural exchanges among countries along the Silk Road, a photography tour was organized by the CPA.
Ji Longsheng, a member of China Photographers Association, took part in the more than 20day tour and recorded the people's spirits of running after their dreams in these countries. His “Dreamseekers on the Belt and Road” is trying to show the major theme with small things. The photos focus on common people and the theme of the Belt and Road Initiative is shown through them.
He walked through the Belt and Road, trying to record all kinds of people on the New Silk Road when they were working, doing business, travelling... From these pictures, we can feel that they are as hardworking as our Chinese people in pursuing(追求) a happy tomorrow.The theme of “the Belt and Road” is shown by the common people and small things: that is, all the countries along the way should work hard together for a bright future. We can also understand the real life of people along the New Silk Road through these works.
The theme of “One Belt and One Road” is the highlight of literary and artistic creation. We hope Ji will continue his efforts to create more great works and provide wisdom for the development of the New Silk Road.

During the summer holiday, some students might have been busy with traveling, summer camps and all kinds of courses. But a special group of Chinese middle school students decided to taste the hardship of life outside school.
Twelve students in a big city sold vegetables at a local market together. Within 12 days, they made more than 1, 500 yuan.
Among them, the oldest is 21 years old, while the youngest is just 10. They are all cousins in a big family and eight of them are from rural areas.
“Compared to traveling, such social practice connects us and makes us learn how tough our parents are.” said Dalin, 18, to the City Morning Post. Dalin, a senior high graduate, and her 12yearold brother Xiaolin came up with the idea.
They learned to work hard to sell their veggies. Every morning they had to wake up at 3 o'clock. Some of them went to the farmer's market to buy vegetables. Some of them went to the local market to take up a temporary stall(临时摊位). To lower the cost, they learned to bargain(讲价) with the sellers.
At about 6：30 am, they began to sell vegetables. They peddled(吆喝) loudly to attract customers. After several days, they got some experience, too.
For example, it was better to put vegetables in order and bigger ones on top. When the vegetables are too heavy, they should give customers an extra plastic bag.
When they finally packed up and went home, they had a small meeting. Everyone took notes and shared their feelings.
“We are tired，” said Dalin, “but we gained a lot.”
