The Cicida Orchestra in Chengdu is composed of children with autism and other developmental conditions.

Autism is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by varying degrees of impairment in communication skills and social interactions. Children with autism are sometimes called "children of the stars" in China as they are often perceived as lonely and can have unconventional emotional reactions, language abilities or social skills.

I am already an old man. I spent 2 years in China as a young boy from 1955 to 1957. I still see before me the terrible misery and also the enormous enthusiasm of the people in building a new China. Yes, I have visited China twice more, the last time 14 years ago as a tourist, including Tibet. I saw a miracle. And before going to bed I like to look at this page of photos and I have tears in my eyes. Keep going, friends, you are the hope of the whole world.
Oh yes, my English is not worth much. You know, I have forgotten a lot.

Spring is in the air when flowers bloom, tea leaves unfurl, and travelers flock to gardens, orchards and rolling hills to embrace the season's warmth. From scenic strolls to hands-on harvests, the joy of spring spills into markets and villages, fueling tourism, cultural experiences, and rural revitalization.

The pulse of a flourishing economy in spring is captured through the laughter of visitors, the rustle of blooming flowers, the influx of vehicles with out-of-town plates, and the hustle and bustle of vendors.

LONDON, April 3 (Xinhua) -- "Tourism is a powerful way to build people-to-people and cultural connections between our two nations," said Rachael Farrington, head of tourism (government) affairs at VisitBritain, the national tourism agency. She said she was "thrilled" by the prospect of the two countries "working further together" and strengthening ties through "a shared love of travel and culture."

The event spotlighted the province's deep-rooted history, stunning landscapes, and signature cuisine - all of which have made lasting impressions on international visitors, including Ben Hardy from Bristol.

Hardy said he "was blown away" by his trip to Hunan in 2019, during which he made friends and experienced China's high-speed rail, traditional tea-making, Chinese calligraphy, among others.

Hunan governor Mao Weiming emphasized the province's unique fusion of ancient heritage and vibrant modern culture. He invited attendees to visit Hunan, underscoring the importance of deepening cooperation and exploring fresh opportunities in the tourism market.

Cultural performances by artists from both China and Britain added a dynamic touch to the event, featuring traditional Chinese instruments such as the Changde string alongside the Western cello.
