During the past summer vacation, a 15-year-old boy made a model plane on his own in less than a month. Then he flew it successfully, which surprised all the people around him.
The boy named Li Banghua is from Hefei, Anhui Province. He made the plane completely by himself. The plane is 0.6 meters wide, has a wingspan (翼展) of 4.4 meters and weighs about 40 kilograms. According to a local report, Li just finished his high-school entrance exam a year ago and got good grades. After the exam, he threw himself into the work of making the model plane right away.
Li has been interested in model planes since he was a child. Besides, he has been studying an building model planes for years. This time the model plane is the largest he has ever built and he considers it the most successful one.
Throughout the process of building the plane, he came across many failures. “But the biggest difficulty I had was that the adults couldn’t understand me well,” Li said. “When I said I was going to build a model plane, a lot of adults thought it was impossible. But I decided to keep on working hard. That is because once I start something, giving up is not a choice for me.”
What’s more, on May 1st, 2022, he took the “fire fighting drone” (消防无人机) to a test flight in the field of his hometown in Feixi County successfully.
When talking about his future, he said he dreamed of becoming a plane engineer.

Lantern festivals add magic to celebrations and their designs are deeply inspired (激励) by traditional culture. On Sept 24, 2023, Wan Songtao and his team organized the lantern show at the Aldrich Bay Park in Hong Kong. Later, they hurried back to their hometown of Zigong in Sichuan province, where another grand lantern show was on the way.
“The older I grow, the more I like lantern making.” the 54-year-old Wan Songtao tells China Daily. Early in the morning after landing in Zigong, Wan went to work at Chinese Lantern World, an ocean of light and color by huge lanterns in the shape of humans, flowers, animals and buildings to celebrate the traditional Chinese festivals. The show attracted (吸引) over 210,000 visitors from around China to the city, which is known for being home to one of the world’s best lantern shows.
Wan has made lanterns for over 30 years. In 2015, he was recognized as a city-level inheritor (继承人). At college, Wan studied painting, which led him to think about how to combine (结合) art with lantern design. Later in his work, he kept trying till now.
Each year, he invites a French light artist to exchange, and this year, he introduced the artist to the Chinese Lantern College. “I am excited to make it. Even though it is only a beginning, I am looking forward to seeing more breakthroughs (突破) in creative design for the lanterns,” Wan says.
