• Survival competitions redefine modern adventure

  How much of a nature survivalist are you? Extreme reality survival competitions have become more than just shows; they are now a cultural phenomenon, inspiring a generation to trade urban comforts for the challenges of the wilderness. These competitions are catalysts for a widespread movement, one that is actively redefining our ideas of adventure, self-reliance, and our fundamental relationship with the untamed power of nature. / Motivational Monday (21:09)!

• China's grand forest paradox

  China's monumental effort to plant nearly 200 billion trees since the 1970s is now facing a critical test. Scientists have discovered that these vast new forests, a cornerstone of the fight against climate change, are severely impacting water resources. This urgent challenge has spurred the country to lead a global shift toward "water-smart forestry," adapting its strategy for a world where every drop counts. On the show: Steve, Fei Fei & Yushan

• One man's elevator ad rebellion

Many are trying to change, but one effort stands apart in its sheer scale and ambition: China's nationwide push to build“zero-waste cities.”The goal is a system where everything is reused, repurposed, or recovered.

• China's new snow break for (some) students

  For many Chinese students, winter once meant chilly classrooms and bundled-up uniforms. Now, it brings free ski passes and extra family time. This new wave of "snow holidays" meets a generation's craving for movement, experience, and hands-on learning. As cities roll out offerings from free ski lessons to ice-fishing festivals, we are witnessing an ambitious attempt to transform snow into a genuine opportunity. / Have you stolen some sugarcane (17:58)?
