Located in the east of Shenzhen, Dapeng New Area was once a coral paradise. However, coral coverage has dropped dramatically over the past 30 years.
In November 2013, a group of divers launched a charity event called “Dive for Love” in Dapeng New Area. Sharing a common interest, these like-minded people would dive into the sea to plant corals and share their love for ocean life. I am one of them. For years, I have not only been engaged in coral reef conservative, but also give regular lectures at primary and secondary schools to popularize ocean knowledge and teach students how to protect the ocean. We believe these lectures can help spread the love for ocean life.
In addition to planting coral and breeding broken coral branches, I dive with my friends to take rubbish out of the sea every month. Fishing nets are the most troublesome. I once got entangled in a fishing net while bringing it up, and it almost killed me.
We usually clean the sea once a month, and the coral nursery is cleaned every 10 days. Apart from the undersea rubbish, there is also rubbish on the beaches. We can gather a lot of rubbish, such as straws, bottles, nappies, disposable lunch boxes and so on. It’s all rubbish from our daily life. I wonder how they bear to litter on such beautiful beaches. We don’t ask that everyone takes away other people’s rubbish, but we hope they will take away their own rubbish.
As a mother myself, I often take my child to the seaside and tell him the story of the “submarine forest”. I can see that my child has a special passion for nature from an early age, so I hope to give him a beautiful and clean ocean environment, so that he can enjoy the beauty of nature. I feel sad when I consider whether my son will ever see these beautiful scenes when he grows up, which is another factor that motivates me to protect the ocean environment.

Sign posts to AI
From Apple’s virtual(虚拟的) assistant Siri to self-driving cars, AI brings to the society something new and advanced. But in fact, it’s not the new fashion at all. Below let’s take a look at the long journey of AI’s development together.

2017 It is not uncommon to see people get citizenship. But Sophia, a robot designed by Hanson robotics, a Hong Kong-based AI robot company, was also given citizenship by the kingdom of Saudi Arabia. This made robots for the first time to share every equal right with human beings.

2016 Dogs are our best friends, but what about having a robot as a pet? Roobo, a Chinese AI startup developed a “pet robot ” name Domgy. It had “smart-home” features that gave its owners weather forecasts, changed television channel and even guarded the home like a dog. Thanks to advanced technology, perhaps robots will one day become our close friends.

1997 As the creation of human beings, AI is always thought as inferior to its creator. But Deep Blue, a computer chess-playing program developed by US computer IBM shocked the whole world. It beat a world chess champion Garry Kasparov in the international match. That marked a new step of AI technology.

2004 Humans are special for their imagination and creativity. However, Microsoft’s XiaoIce broke this law. Just like us, “she” could write her own poetry and put them together as The Sunlight that Lost the Glass Window, a book of poems.

1979 Self-driving cars have been around for a lot longer than you might think. In 1979, a self-driven car called The Stanford Cart crossed a chair-filled room without human help in about five hours. It was one of the earliest examples of an autonomous vehicle.

1966 Shakey was the first general-purpose mobile robot to be able to reason about its own actions. “She” could analyze commands and break them down into basic chunks on “her” own. The US Life Magazine calls Shakey the “first electronic person” of AI.

1951 Perhaps you’ve never thought about whether machines can think, but the idea obsessed(使着迷) UK AI computer scientist Alan Turing. Turing adapted the imitation game to make the Turing test. Although the test failed, it inspired AI researchers and began a new age in the history of AI.
