The ancient city of Dongjing, the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty (960-1127), continues to resonate with modern-day people. Not only does it remain buried 8 to 10 meters beneath present-day Kaifeng, Henan province, but its influence is also evident in the designs of the city's contemporary tourist attractions.
In addition to Luoyang and Kaifeng, other cities of Henan province, such as the former ancient capitals, Zhengzhou and Anyang, also stand as guardians of China's rich heritage. Together, they invite visitors to transcend time and space and explore Chinese civilization. These sites are not just historical treasures but also symbols of an enduring cultural legacy, echoing the wisdom and grandeur of China's past.

Chinese culture encourages us to study and work harder in an endless cycle of competition, known as neijuan, or "involution".Before the advent of the internet, comparisons were made with those close to us — siblings, classmates, neighbors, or colleagues. But now, we measure ourselves against the carefully curated lives of distant strangers on social media, often falling short and feeling demoralized.
