Millions of Chinese have been playing a mobile game called Travel Frog recently. You play as the “mother” of a frog who lives alone and enjoys traveling. You need to prepare food and tools for his trips. The frog will send you postcards while he is away.

The game’s popularity may have something to do with how lonely people are these days, according to the Xinhua News Agency. Many players have said that the lonely frog is just like them. But playing with the frog helps them forget their loneliness for a short time.

Loneliness seems to be a common problem today. According to the Guardian, about 40 percent of American adults say they’re lonely. And in the UK, about one in five people in the country are “always or often lonely”, The Telegraph reported.

This might be why the UK government declared (宣布) the country’s very first “Minister of Loneliness” (孤獨大臣) in January. The minister’s job is to find ways to help UK citizens feel less lonely. The minister’s office will provide more money for activities that connect people together.

This loneliness problem may be partly because of social media. When we see pictures of friends having fun or posting selfies (自拍) without us, we may compare their “perfect” lives with our own and feel inferior (較差的) and lonely.

But we should remember that no one is destined (注定) to be lonely. As UK poet John Donne once wrote, “No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent (陸地), a part of the main.”

Ban(禁令) on free plastic bags. Since June 1, 2008, free plastic shopping bags are not allowed to provide in all supermarkets, shopping malls, and other places. It is to encourage people to use cloth bags or baskets for their shopping things.

Chinese social network companies began to take away the smoking emoji(表情符號) from their products to support China’s new indoor smoking ban(禁煙令).

In response, Sina Weibo took away the emoji of a smoker in September on its smart phone apps and c【5】. Two months later, Tencent followed Weibo’s footsteps on November 6, 2017 to change the smoking emoji w【6】 a green leaf. However, the action was only taken on QQ’s mobile app. QQ on PC still r【7】 the same. Tencent’s another popular social app, Wechat, has also been required to change the emoji.

China is home to 300 million smokers and produces the world’s l【8】 number of cigarettes. It is reported that about 27.7% people s【9】 in China in 2017, according to the government. Zhang said, taking the smoking emoji away was to prevent it spreading the wrong i【10】 among the public.
