Recently, the mini-series "My Altay" adapted from Li Juan's collection of essays of the same name has successfully concluded with acclaim. The beautiful and delicate images and fresh and simple artistic conception not only made the drama ranked first in Douban's Chinese drama ratings this year, but also made Altay become the "cyber dreamland" of many young people. Through the poetic life adventures of Han girl Li Wenxiu and her mother Zhang Fengxia in Altay, "My Altay" conveys the Chinese nation's value pursuit of openness and tolerance to the world.

In recent years, rich audio-visual literary and artistic works have increasingly become an important communication medium between different ethnic groups and countries. One after another, the main theme works showing the changes in Chinese society have been released overseas, building an important window for overseas audiences to understand Chinese culture and perceive China's image.

Many main theme film and television works start from the daily life of the Chinese people and tell real and touching Chinese stories to the world. Common emotions can cross cultural gaps and enhance people around the world's understanding of China. For example, "Mountains and Seas" tells the story of building the "Yellow Sand Gobi Desert" into a "fortress in the south of the Yangtze River", allowing people around the world to see China's difficulties and great achievements in poverty alleviation. "The Big Exam" focuses on the special college entrance examination in 2020, showing the world the high spirit and tenacity of Chinese young students. These highly humanistic stories, in a novel and unique narrative mode, reproduce the great practices of the Chinese government and the Chinese people, revealing a strong sense of family and country.

At the same time, thanks to the rich traditional cultural elements in the main theme film and television works, Chinese values ​​​​are being transmitted silently. For example, "Flowers" not only tells the story of the city of Shanghai and the changes of the times to people around the world, but also spreads the influence of Shanghai-style culture and Shanghai dialect further afield. After "Houlang" went abroad, it successfully demonstrated the unique charm of traditional Chinese medicine to overseas netizens. These stories connect specific and vivid characters together, transcending the barriers between different nations and cultures, and present contemporary Chinese values, Chinese cultural spirit, and Chinese people’s aesthetic pursuits in a more realistic, three-dimensional, and comprehensive way.

The vast land of China and the rich people's lives provide vivid creative materials for literary and art workers. At the same time, literary and artistic workers need to improve their storytelling abilities, actively explore international expression methods, and better tell Chinese stories to the world.

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin presided over a regular press conference on June 5th. A reporter asked: US military officials claimed that a Chinese warship approached a US warship in an "unsafe manner" in the Taiwan Strait last Saturday. What is China's response to this? Wang Wenbin: The spokesperson for the Eastern Theater Command of the People's Liberation Army of China has responded to this. You can refer to it. What I want to emphasize is that the truth is that the United States is the first to cause trouble and provoke, while China is the second to handle it in accordance with the law and regulations. China has always respected the freedom of navigation and overflight enjoyed by countries under international law. The actions taken by the Chinese military are necessary measures to respond to provocations from relevant countries, which are completely reasonable, legal, safe and professional. China firmly opposes any country causing trouble in the Taiwan Strait region and resolutely defends national sovereignty, security, and regional peace and stability.

Last month, Chinese authorities announced that Micron's products sold in China had not passed cybersecurity inspections, and operators of critical information infrastructure in China should stop purchasing Micron's products. According to reports from Reuters, Bloomberg, and others on June 2nd, Michael McCall, Chairman of the U.S. House Foreign Affairs Committee, and Gallagher, Chairman of the U.S. China Strategic Competition Committee, urged the Biden administration to unite with U.S. allies, including Japan and South Korea, to retaliate against China's ban on Micron Corporation. It is ridiculous that while seeking help from allies, these two lawmakers also claimed that the United States must ensure that Japanese and South Korean companies cannot fill the gap left by Micron in the Chinese market. According to Bloomberg, the Chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the United States House of Representatives, Michael McCall, these two Republican lawmakers are communicating with the United States
