MTSU's botanical research pact in China advances
NANNING, China — Middle Tennessee State University's partnership in China studying modern uses of ancient herbal remedies has yielded almost 40 results showing promise in the treatment of cancer, viral infections and other aliments. The report came as a 2013 MTSU delegation concluded its visit the Guangxi Botanical Garden of Medicinal Plants, named in 2011 as the world's largest medicinal herb garden by the Guinness Book of World Records. Read more:
Located in Nanning in southern China, the garden features more than 7,400 medicinal plants. University President Sidney A. McPhee and Miao Jianhua, vice president of the Guangxi Academic Science Institute and garden director, celebrated the partnership's progress with the christening of an MTSU-branded Joint Research Center on May 29, 2013, at the garden's new research laboratory and headquarters. I am committed to making sure we produce ground-breaking research that will help the people of China, help the people of America and, perhaps, the people of the world, McPhee said in remarks before the dedication. The Tennessee Center for Botanical Medicine Research, based at MTSU, and the Guangxi garden are partners in an exclusive collaborative agreement that seeks to accelerate the development of Western medicines from plant extracts.
Leading scientist Huang Fang: Man witnessed China's largest returning trend of the educated elites
Many students go back to China after they graduate from the United States and Europe, forming the largest returning trend of the educated elites in Chinese modern history, says Huang Fang from the University of Science and Technology of China. The phenomenon is a fruit of China’s improved research environment and the traditional Chinese respect for knowledge.
Working in a modern laboratory, Huang and his team are at the forefront of research in the field of geochemistry. He sees a promising future for the discipline in China, thanks in part to the high-quality work he and his team are producing.

Mount San Qing National Park - 7
Mount Sanqing (Chinese: 三清山; pinyin: Sānqīng Shān) is a renowned Taoist sacred mountain located 25 miles (40 km) north of Yushan County in Jiangxi Province, China with outstanding scenery. Sanqing means the Three Pure Ones in Chinese as Mount Sanqing is made up of three main summits: Yujing, Yushui, and Yuhua, representing the Taoist trinity.
A Chinese phrase 三峰峻拔、如三清列坐其巅 (Three steep peaks, like the Three Pure Ones sit the summits) explains why it was named San Qing. Amongst the three hills, the Yujing hill (1817 meters above sea level) is the highest.
Mount Sanqing has been classified as a national park of China. It is a famous honeypot as well as a shelter for animals and plants. It contains about 1000 species of flora and 800 types of fauna. The total area of Mount Sanqing is 2200 km². It became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2008.[1]

MTSU, Guangxi University sign new exchange agreement
Leaders of Middle Tennessee State University and Guangxi University in Nanning, China, strengthened ties Tuesday with an agreement to pursue cultural and academic exchanges between the two institutions.
MTSU President Sidney A. McPhee and Guangxi University President Zhao Yanlin signed the memorandum of understanding following a roundtable discussion inside the Cope Administration Building between executives from both universities. Guangxi officials later toured campus and met with their MTSU counterparts for further discussions.
The memorandum signing and campus visit by the Guangxi delegation followed a visit to Guangxi by McPhee in May. During the visit, McPhee and an MTSU delegation that included state Sen. Bill Ketron announced the opening of a student recruitment office at Guangxi University as part of its efforts to boost international enrollment and strengthen ties in southern China.
The office marked the university's first overseas representative office and reflects MTSU's growing commitment to Guangxi, an autonomous region on China's border with Vietnam. The region is also home to the Guangxi Botanical Garden of Medicinal Plants, at which MTSU works with as a research partner and collaborator.
Through a translator, Zhao also emphasized the similarities between the universities and expressed optimism that Tuesday's memorandum will lead to concrete initiatives bing developed and implemented.
The agreement, which will last for five years, seeks to:
Promote institutional exchanges by inviting faculty and staff to participate in teaching and research activities, and professional development;
Develop exchange programs, such as summer camps, in China and Rutherford County; and
Organize symposia, conferences, short courses or programs, and meetings on educational issues or other topics of mutual interest.
Founded in 1928, Guangxi University (GU) has an enrollment of more than 24,000 students, similar to MTSU's. Also like MTSU, most of its students are undergraduates and it is known for its wide variety of majors within its 30 colleges.
The pact came after a delegation from MTSU visited China last summer and met with officials from Guangxi University, ultimately leading to establishing MTSU's first international student recruitment office there. A Guangxi University delegation visited MTSU this week to finalize the cultural and educational exchange.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Yunnan (云南) is a province of China. Located in Southwest China, the province spans approximately 394,000 square kilometres (152,000 sq mi) and has a population of 47.368 million (as of 2015). The capital of the province is Kunming, formerly also known as Yunnan. The province borders the Chinese provinces Guangxi, Guizhou, Sichuan, and the Tibet Autonomous Region, as well as the countries Vietnam, Laos, and Myanmar.
Yunnan is situated in a mountainous area, with high elevations in the northwest and low elevations in the southeast. Most of the population lives in the eastern part of the province. In the west, the altitude can vary from the mountain peaks to river valleys by as much as 3,000 metres (9,800 ft). Yunnan is rich in natural resources and has the largest diversity of plant life in China. Of the approximately 30,000 species of higher plants in China, Yunnan has perhaps 17,000 or more. Yunnan's reserves of aluminium, lead, zinc and tin are the largest in China, and there are also major reserves of copper and nickel.
The Han Empire first recorded diplomatic relations with the province at the end of the 2nd century BC. It became the seat of a Sino-Tibetan-speaking kingdom of Nanzhao in the 8th century AD. Nanzhao was multi-ethnic, but the elite most-likely spoke a northern dialect of Yi. The Mongols conquered the region in the 13th century, followed by the Ming dynasty.
From the Yuan dynasty onward, the area was part of a central-government sponsored population movement towards the southwestern frontier, with two major waves of migrants arriving from Han-majority areas in northern and southeast China. As with other parts of China's southwest, Japanese occupation in the north during World War II forced another migration of Han people into the region. These two waves of migration contributed to Yunnan being one of the most ethnically diverse provinces of China, with ethnic minorities accounting for about 34 percent of its total population. Major ethnic groups include Yi, Bai, Hani, Zhuang, Dai and Miao.

Yunnan (云南) is a province of the People's Republic of China, located in the far southwest of the country. It spans approximately 394,000 square kilometres (152,000 sq mi) and has a population of 45.7 million (as of 2009). The capital of the province is Kunming, formerly also known as Yunnan.
