鈥淟ately, I鈥檝e been learning from books and from nature. I want to tell everyone that there鈥檚 a lot to learn from nature,鈥 said Tamdrin, better known by his Mandarin name 鈥淒ing Zhen.鈥
A second-grade student with the screen name 鈥渟mart older sister鈥 delivered a speech on her travel experiences across the world and the friends she met along the way: deer in Nara in Japan and giant pandas in Sichuan.
