We've misunderstood each other. I always thought fulfilling responsibilities was enough, but I neglected your feelings."Zh: 伟叹了一口气,好像放下了什么心事:“我也有不成熟的地方,我愿意多和你们交流。”En: Wei sighed, as if letting go of some burden, "I also have my immature moments. I'm willing to communicate more with you."Zh: 小看到两人终于开始对话,露出了笑容:“我们一起过中秋节,好吗?正好爸爸妈妈也在。”En: Xiao saw the two finally starting to talk and smiled, "Let's spend the Mid-Autumn Festival together, shall we? Mom and dad are also here."Zh: 最后,三人坐在长城的一块大石头上,分享月饼。En: Finally, the three of them sat on a large stone on the Great Wall, sharing mooncakes.Zh: 莲和伟把过去的不快都留在了长城,决心重新开始。En: Lian and Wei left their past grievances behind at the Great Wall, determined to start afresh.Zh: 月亮渐渐升起,带来了节日的光辉。En: The moon gradually rose, bringing the glow of the festival.Zh: 空气中弥漫着淡淡的甜香,那是团圆的味道。En: The air was filled with a faint sweet aroma, the scent of reunion.Zh: 这一天,他们不仅重新找回了彼此,也找回了家的温暖。En: On this day, they not only reconnected with each other but also found the warmth of family.Zh: 莲更加理解弟弟,愿意倾听他的想法。En: Lian understood her brother better and was willing to listen to his thoughts.Zh: 伟则感受到了被接受和认可的喜悦。En: Wei felt the joy of being accepted and recognized.Zh: 小看到哥哥姐姐和好如初,欢快地笑着,她知道,这个中秋节,他们是一家人。En: Xiao saw her brother and sister reconcile and laughed happily, knowing that this Mid-Autumn Festival, they were truly a family.

Some treasures aren't just hidden—they're buried, wrapped in mystery and legend, and waiting for the right moment to surface and return to the world of human affairs. What's astonishing isn't just that these Dunhuang scrolls survived—but that they journeyed from caves to libraries, and fell into hands that knew enough to recognize them for what they are: threads of ancient medicine waiting to be rewoven into our present.In this conversation with Dr. Qiang Cao and Dr. Yun Xiao, we trace the surprising journey of the Wu Zang Lun—an early text attributed to Zhang Zhongjing that was unearthed in the Dunhuang caves and made their way to London and Paris. More surprising are the texts from Korea and Japan that contain the same material. This discussion is part detective story, part historical odyssey, and a glimpse into how older medical cosmologies continue to whisper through the written perspective of doctors of the past.Listen in as we follow the wandering path of this ancient manuscript, hear the emotional moment of seeing it in person, explore how it connects pulse and physiology, and consider its relevance for clinical practice today.

Xiao-Jing Wang is a Distinguished Global Professor of Neuroscience at NYU Xiao-Jing was born and grew up in China, spent 8 years in Belgium studying theoretical physics like nonlinear dynamical systems and deterministic chaos. And as he says it, he arrived from Brussels to California as a postdoc, and in one day switched from French to English, from European to American culture, and physics to neuroscience. I know Xiao-Jing as a legend in non-human primate neurophysiology and modeling, paving the way for the rest of us to study brain activity related cognitive functions like working memory and decision-making. He has just released his new textbook, Theoretical Neuroscience: Understanding Cognition, which covers the history and current research on modeling cognitive functions from the very simple to the very cognitive. The book is also somewhat philosophical, arguing that we need to update our approach to explaining how brains function, to go beyond Marr's levels and enter a cross-level mechanistic explanatory pursuit, which we discuss. I just learned he even cites my own PhD research, studying metacognition in nonhuman primates - so you know it's a great book. Learn more about Xiao-Jing and the book in the show notes.

President Xi Jinping called on China and Kazakhstan on Monday to guide their bilateral ties with high-level strategic mutual trust, saying that the two countries should serve as strong support for each other amid challenges and provide beneficial assistance to each other's development and revitalization.Xi made the remarks during a meeting with Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev in Astana, the capital of Kazakhstan.The Chinese president arrived in Astana earlier on Monday to attend the second China-Central Asia Summit. He was welcomed by Tokayev and other senior officials at the airport. Kazakh teenagers and children, holding the national flags of China and Kazakhstan, warmly welcomed Xi on his arrival.Xi told Tokayev that China always views and develops its relationship with Kazakhstan from a strategic and long-term perspective."I'm willing to work together with you to steadfastly consolidate the friendship between the two countries and contribute more to regional and world peace and development with stability and positive energy of China-Kazakhstan relations," he said.Xi said efforts should be made for China and Kazakhstan to upgrade bilateral cooperation through high-quality Belt and Road cooperation.He called on the two sides to consolidate cooperation in traditional areas including trade, investment and energy, advance the construction of cross-border railway projects and the upgrading of port infrastructure, expand cooperation in high-tech fields, and promote green and sustainable development.Xi said that China and Kazakhstan should continue to support each other on issues involving core interests and major concerns, and promote the synergy of their development strategies.He called on both countries to expand law enforcement and defense exchanges, and jointly combat terrorism, separatism and extremism.The two sides should strengthen the foundation of China-Kazakhstan friendship through diverse people-to-people exchanges, and make the China tourism year in Kazakhstan a success, he said, urging efforts to encourage more exchanges among youth, media, think tanks and local regions.Amid a complex and turbulent international situation, Xi called on the two countries to firmly uphold the international system with the United Nations at its core and the international order based on international law, and to practice true multilateralism and safeguard the common interests of developing countries.As the rotating chair of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, China will work with all member countries and take the opportunity of this year's SCO summit in Tianjin to make the SCO more substantive and stronger, thus showcasing new developments, breakthroughs and dynamics, Xi said.Tokayev said that China is Kazakhstan's friendly neighbor, close friend and trustworthy partner.Kazakhstan and China have a strong political will to enhance cooperation and consistently support each other on issues related to sovereignty, security and other core interests, unaffected by changes in the international situation, he said.After their talks, the two presidents jointly witnessed the exchange of more than 10 cooperation documents, covering areas such as trade, investment, science and technology, customs, tourism and media.Kazakhstan is the largest country in Central Asia and shares a 1,700-plus-kilometer border with China. In 2022, the two countries agreed on the vision of building a China-Kazakhstan community with a shared future defined by lasting friendship, a high degree of mutual trust and sharing of weal and woe.Observers said that the two heads of state have provided significant strategic guidance for the sustainable development of bilateral ties. Xiao Bin, a researcher of Central Asian studies at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said that cooperation between China and Kazakhstan in recent years has been accelerating and expanding across multiple fields, laying a solid foundation for the new "golden 30 years". "China's trade and economic cooperation with Kazakhstan has not only provided the Kazakh people with a genuine sense of benefit, but has also contributed to the diversification of Kazakhstan's economy and the stability of its society," Xiao said.In addition to enhancing and improving traditional areas of cooperation, China and Kazakhstan are also exploring emerging areas of collaboration, including green development, by launching a hydrogen energy innovation cooperation center, he added.
Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened down 107-points this morning from yesterday's close, at 22,362 on turnover of 5.1-billion N-T. The market closed higher on Wednesday, as it broke through stiff technical resistance ahead of the 240-day moving average of 22,300 points. That came on the back of extended gains for Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing and amid investor optimism over US-China trade talks. Ma Ying-jeou to attend Straits Forum in China Former President Ma Ying-jeou is slated to attend the 17th Straits Forum in the Chinese city of Xiamen early next week. According to the Ma Ying-jeou Foundation, he will be leading a group of students from the Da Jiu Academy to the event as part of a two-week trip to China. Foundation C-E-O Xiao Xu-cen says after attending (出席) the forum, Ma and the students will travel to Gansu Province for a series of cultural activities and to learn about the Silk Road. Xiao says the visit is aimed at reducing hostility (敵意) across the Taiwan Strait by showing people on both sides the willingness of young people to engage and interact with each other. New tropical depression forms near Philippines The Central Weather Administration says it's monitoring a tropical depression that formed yesterday evening east of the Philippines. It's currently located some 500-kilometers southeast of Eluanbi at the island's southernmost tip and moving in a north-northwesterly direction at 33-kilometers-an-hour. The weather administration says the weather pattern is moving towards Taiwan. It's forecast to bring thunderstorms or heavy rain to much of the island. SAfrica Flooding Leaves Dozens Dead A weather front brings rain, snow, and now deadly flooding to South Africa. The AP's Jennifer King reports. Kosovo US Agreement to Accept Migrants Kosovo says it has agreed to a request from the United States to temporarily accept up to 50 third-country migrants a year. The Balkan country's government said “over the course of a year, up to fifty individuals may be temporarily relocated, with the aim of facilitating (促進) their safe return to their home country." Immediately upon returning to office in January, President Donald Trump started plans for mass deportation to make good on campaign promises to crack down on illegal immigration. It was not clear when Washington made the request or whether it made similar (相似的) requests to other countries in the region. Japan Princess Visits Brazil Japan's Princess Kako of Akishino, a niece of Emperor Naruhito, was welcomed by Brazil's President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva at a private ceremony. The younger daughter of Crown Prince Fumihito and Crown Princess Kiko is at the tail end of her 11-day trip to the South American nation. The princess also spoke before lawmakers at Congress, and thanked Brazilians for hosting (當宿主) Japanese immigants for more than a century. Her trip also marks the 130th anniversary of diplomatic relations between the two countries. That was the I.C.R.T.

Beijing municipal health authority has revoked the medical licenses of a former senior surgeon and a resident physician at a major Beijing hospital for violations of professional ethics and academic misconduct, the National Health Commission said on Thursday.国家卫生健康委员会周四表示,北京市卫生局已吊销北京一家大型医院原资深外科医生和住院医师的行医执照,原因是他们违反职业道德和学术不端行为。The disciplinary action follows an official investigation that attracted widespread public attention after the two doctors' extramarital affair and personal misconduct emerged in April. The case has prompted scrutiny of loopholes in surgical oversight, professional ethics and medical school admissions.自今年4月这两名医生的婚外情和个人不当行为曝光以来,官方对此展开了调查,并引发了广泛关注。此次纪律处分是在此之前做出的。此案引发了人们对外科监管、职业道德和医学院招生方面漏洞的反思。According to the commission, the former senior surgeon, surnamed Xiao, arbitrarily left an operating room mid-surgery while the patient was under anesthesia. He departed along with his assistant following an argument with a nurse at China-Japan Friendship Hospital in July.据该委员会称,这位姓肖的原资深外科医生在手术过程中,在患者麻醉期间擅自离开手术室。7月份,他与助手在中日友好医院与一名护士发生争执后离开。"He prioritized personal emotions over patient safety and failed to understand his responsibilities as a physician, and the potential medical risks posed to the patient by his actions," the commission said in a statement.该委员会在一份声明中表示:“肖医生将个人情感置于患者安全之上,未能理解其作为医生的责任,也未能理解其行为可能给患者带来的医疗风险。”Xiao's extramarital relationship with the resident physician, surnamed Dong, also constituted "a severe violation of professional and medical ethics" and caused "significant negative social impact", it said.肖某与住院医师董某的婚外情也构成了“严重违反职业道德和医德行为”,并造成了“重大不良社会影响”。Xiao was dismissed from the hospital and expelled from the Communist Party of China earlier this month. His medical license has been revoked by the Beijing municipal health authority, and he is banned from practicing medicine for at least five years. The hospital received a formal warning, a corrective order and financial penalties.本月初,肖某被医院开除出党,并被开除党籍。他的行医执照已被北京市卫生部门吊销,并被禁止至少五年内行医。医院收到了正式警告、责令改正和经济处罚。Dong, who graduated from an elite medical training program in China, was involved in a sexual relationship with Xiao during her residency, according to a letter published by Xiao's wife in April.据肖某妻子今年4月发表的一封信称,董某毕业于中国一所精英医学培训项目,在院期间与肖某发生了性关系。Authorities said Dong falsified academic records to gain admission to a four-year doctoral program at Peking Union Medical College—one of China's most prestigious medical schools. Her dissertation was found to contain serious instances of plagiarism, and several of her academic papers involved violations of research integrity, including improper authorship and duplicate publications.当局表示,董某伪造学术记录,以便进入中国最负盛名的医学院之一——北京协和医学院攻读四年制博士学位。她的学位论文被发现存在严重抄袭行为,她的多篇学术论文涉及违反科研诚信的行为,包括署名不当和重复发表。Peking Union Medical College has revoked Dong's degree and graduation credentials. Local health authorities have also revoked her medical qualification and license, according to the commission.北京协和医学院已撤销董某的学位和毕业证书。据该委员会称,当地卫生部门也已吊销了她的医师资格和行医执照。The "four-plus-four-year" doctoral program that admitted Dong combines undergraduate and medical studies and targets top international university graduates from nonmedical fields. It was designed to integrate medical education with interdisciplinary training and to reform the traditional eight-year path to becoming a doctor in China.董某的“四年加四年”博士研究生项目融合了本科和医学教育,面向非医学领域的国际顶尖大学毕业生。该项目旨在将医学教育与跨学科培训相结合,改革中国传统的八年制医生培养模式。The commission said the case has exposed flaws in the program's admission criteria, clinical training supervision, thesis review procedures and student ethics education.该委员会表示,此案暴露了该项目在招生标准、临床实习督导、论文评审程序和学生伦理教育方面存在的缺陷。"Peking Union Medical College is currently undergoing thorough rectification," the commission said. "The commission is working with the Ministry of Education to conduct a comprehensive evaluation of the pilot program and promote reforms."该委员会表示:“北京协和医学院目前正在进行彻底整改。委员会正会同教育部对试点项目进行全面评估,并推进改革。”The commission is carrying on deeper probe into institutions and personnel involved in the case and will hold those violating rules and regulations accountable.该委员会正在对涉案机构和人员进行深入调查,并将追究违规人员的责任。revocation/ˌrevəˈkeɪʃn/n.撤销,吊销misconduct/ˌmɪsˈkʌndʌkt/n.不当行为;失职plagiarism/ˈpleɪdʒərɪzəm/n.抄袭;剽窃rectification/ˌrektɪfɪˈkeɪʃn/n.整改;纠正

On Eavesdroppin' comedy podcast this week, Geordie and Michelle look at two cults with very different agendas… Can you slap yourself to health? When Hongchi Xiao quit his life as a successful banker to instead spread the word as a guru of alternative therapy, Paida Lajin, people flocked to his workshops. Essentially, you slap yourself hard which removes the illnesses of your body to encourage healing and health. Except Xiao told diabetics to bin their medicine and keep slapping away, with tragic consequences. Listen now to find out more about this medical cult, what happened to some of his devotees and where Xiao is now…Would you eat at a cult café? The Yellow Deli in Katoomba, Australia, has a fantastic reputation for delicious food in a lovely atmosphere – but the proceeds fund an international cult called The 12 Tribes, which supports severe child discipline and female subordination. Listen now to learn more about the cult and why that Yellow Deli sandwich might leave a sour taste in your mouth…So pop on your headphones, grab a brown lemonade and join Geordie & Michelle for this week's episode, plus chit-chat about The White Lotus, the new Mogwai album and more, only on Eavesdroppin' podcast.

Burnout isn't just a buzzword—it's a reality for many of us working in UX and tech. The long hours, the shifting priorities, the constant pressure to prove our value… it all adds up. And if you're not careful, it can take a serious toll. Yvonne Xiao has been there. She's worked at companies like Microsoft and Uber, navigating the highs and lows of content design in fast-paced environments. But instead of letting burnout define her career, she's figured out how to manage it—by setting boundaries, redefining success, and embracing a more sustainable approach to work. In this episode, we talk about how to recognize burnout before it's too late, the mistakes we all make when trying to "push through," and why setting boundaries isn't just about saying no—it's about knowing your worth. If you've ever felt drained by your work or wondered how to make content design (or any job in tech) actually sustainable, this one's for you. What we talked about: How Yvonne transitioned from film school to content design The early signs of burnout and how to recognize them in yourself The biggest mistakes content designers make when trying to manage burnout Why setting boundaries is hard—but necessary—for long-term career success How imposter syndrome fuels burnout (and how to reframe it) The importance of community, mentorship, and knowing you're not alone How to build a career in UX without letting it consume your identity Notable Quotes: “Your self-worth isn't tied to your job. You're so much more than the work you do.” “The cringe factor is real, but you just have to post it. Nobody's going to remember it tomorrow.” “Burnout doesn't happen overnight. It's layers of ignoring your own needs until it's too late.” Where to Find Dave: LinkedIn YouTube Instagram TikTok
Scott Xiao, Co-Founder and CEO of Luminopia is developing a virtual reality-based treatment for amblyopia, also known as Lazy Eye in children. A traditional treatment is eye patching, which children find difficult to comply with. The Luminopia approach allows children to use a VR headset to watch content licensed from Sesame Street and Nickelodeon as a treatment to improve visual acuity by modifying the content presented to each eye. This FDA-approved VR-based medical treatment is an immersive environment that reduces distraction and enhances engagement so that children are more likely to comply with and complete treatment plans. Scott explains, "We're pioneering a new class of treatments for a variety of visual conditions, and we're starting with a condition called amblyopia, which is more commonly known as Lazy Eye. And it's the number one cause of vision loss in children. And despite that, there hasn't been innovation in this space for a long time. Traditional treatment for amblyopia requires patients to wear glasses and then, in most cases, go through patching, which is exactly what it sounds like. You take an eye patch and stick it on your stronger eye for multiple hours daily." "The product that we've developed, we like to say, allows patients to watch their favorite TV show as a treatment instead of having to wear a patch. The way that it works is that it's a virtual reality-based product. The kids put on a kid-friendly headset and can choose from more than 3,000 episodes of content that we've licensed from partners like Sesame Street and Nickelodeon. Once the child has chosen a video to watch, we modify how the images are presented to each eye with the goal of rebalancing the input to the brain and getting the brain to use both eyes together properly. We've shown that we can get significant vision improvement just by having patients watch TV for an hour per day." "Certainly compliance is much easier with our product, and that's an important driver of outcomes. So we think that alone is an important advantage over what you could get with patching. The other important thing we've seen in our studies is that we can improve vision even in patients who have been through patching and failed patching. And that's a pretty big chunk of patients. Anywhere from 50% to close to 80% of patients that go through patching are still left with some amount of amblyopia. We've shown that our treatment works even in those patients, and we think it's because we're taking a different mechanism to treat the condition." #Luminopia #Amblyopia #LazyEye #Healthtech #VRMED luminopia.com Download the transcript here
