A disabled farmer from Kaifeng in Henan province revealed how he became a celebrity by live-streaming rural life on a visit to his farm. Over 400,000 people from all over China are subscribed to his channel and send the family virtual gifts for about 1,300 (€1,116). The farmer himself perceives live-streaming as his main occupation, as he “relies on it to support his family” and “earn the bread on it”.
Chinese farmer and inventor Zhenlin Fu from Heihe City has created a rideable eight-legged robot which, according to him "keeps the body fit and develops the brain". The inventor and two other robot testers showed how bumpy the ride can be.
These adorable baby monkeys are clones! 8-week-old Zhong Zhong and 6-week-old Hua Hua became the first primates to be successfully cloned using somatic cell nuclear transfer, and were unveiled in Suzhou on Wednesday. The pair of long-tailed macaques frolicked in their incubator, unaware of the scientific milestone they represent. The Chinese Academy of Sciences carried out the cloning in order to further biological experimentation, given exact clones will provide more reliable data during testing. Their genetic similarity to humans also increases the likelihood of human clones in the near future.
Students at the No.11 High School in Hangzhou are the first in the world to use facial recognition to pay for food at their cafeteria. Pupils order food on screens and pay for their meals by standing before facial recognition screens. Face data from each student is collected and stored into the school's database. When students order food, the program compares their face to the database and automatically deducts money from their account. Students never have to bring cash or cards with them to school and payment becomes quicker and more efficient, but what do you think about the privacy issues?
