Do you like to put on makeup and wear costumes? If you do, you might like acting in a Chinese opera like the people in this picture.
The color of an actor's makeup and the style of his or her costume shows what each character is like. For example, good characters wear red makeup, brave characters wear black makeup and gods wear silver and gold makeup.
The costumes also tell you about the characters. For example, if a character has flags on his back, it means he is a soldier. Can you see the flags the man in the picture has on his back?

你喜歡化妝打扮嗎？喜歡的話，你可能會喜歡表演京劇喔！就像照片中的人物一樣。
你可以從演員上妝的顏色和戲服的款式看出他是什麼角色，例如，好人畫紅臉；勇士畫黑臉；神臉上的妝則是金色或銀色。
戲服也代表不同的角色，例如，若一個角色的背上有旗子，表示他是一名軍人。你看見照片中的男子背上的旗了嗎？
很久以前，女人不能登台演出，所有的女性角色都是由男生扮演，但是今日女性也可以演出京劇喔！ （翻譯：鄭湘儀）

An automated human washing machine was one of the highlights at the Osaka Kansai Expo, giving visitors a glimpse into the future of personal hygiene technology. As part of the event, 1,000 randomly selected visitors were given the chance to try out this cleansing system. The machine operates as a capsule-like chamber where warm water filled with microscopic bubbles gently washes away dirt. The 15-minute process also includes a drying phase, removing the need for users to dry themselves manually. Equipped with advanced sensors, the device monitors the user’s biological data, such as their pulse, to adjust water temperature and other settings
Firefighters might face an increased risk of developing “glioma,” a type of brain cancer, due to certain chemicals encountered on the job. A recent study analyzed glioma cases and found clear connections between the genetic patterns of affected firefighters and their exposure to these harmful substances. The study found that firefighters exhibited significantly higher levels of specific mutational signatures in their glioma cells compared to individuals in other occupations. These signatures — unique patterns of genetic changes in DNA — help scientists trace the source of mutations. Earlier research has associated these mutations with certain chemicals found in fire
