Erinome: Hello everyone! Welcome to today's news chat. I'm Erinome, and sitting next to me is Enceladus. Let's dive into the latest news together, okay?  

Enceladus: Hi everyone! Excited to talk about what's happening. First up, Spring Festival travel, right?  

Erinome: Yes! It's the 30th day of Chunyun (Spring Festival travel season). The total number of people moving across regions is expected to reach 182 million. That's 0.8% more than the same time in 2025. Wow, so many people on the move!  

Enceladus: Oh right, Chunyun is always busy. Families going home to celebrate. That number is really big.  

Erinome: Next, there's a suggestion from a committee member. They want to stop kids under 16 from using social media. And create a special online space just for minors. What do you think?  

Enceladus: Hmm, maybe it's to protect kids from bad things online? But some kids might need social media to talk to friends. Interesting idea, though.  

Erinome: Moving on to family news. In Nanchong, Sichuan, they have new measures to help with new births. If you have a second or third child, you can get up to 150,000 yuan as a housing subsidy. That's a lot of money for a house!  

Enceladus: Oh, that's a good way to encourage more babies, right? 150,000 yuan can help a lot with buying a home.  

Erinome: Even better, a company in Ningbo, Zhejiang, gives a total reward of 1.83 million yuan for having three kids! The HR said some employees already got it. Haha, that's a huge reward!  

Enceladus: 1.83 million? That's amazing! I wonder if more companies will do that.  

Erinome: Now, for students. In Changchun, Jilin, middle school students got a "housework textbook" this new term. The officials said it's a free, regular textbook for labor education. So kids will learn to do chores?  

Enceladus: That's cool! Maybe they'll learn to clean their rooms or cook. My little cousin hates doing dishes—maybe this book can help, you know that?  

Erinome: Sports time! The WTT Singapore Grand Smash just ended. Sun Yingsha and Wang Chuqin both became five-time singles champions. Wow, they're so good!  

Enceladus: I saw their matches! They played so well. And China's women's football team won 2-0 against Bangladesh in the Asian Cup opener. Great start!  

Erinome: Next, a heartwarming story. A uncle from Guizhou is teaching farming in Africa. He even has armed guards—up to 2 guards with him. And the local crop yield went from 200 kg per mu to 700 kg!  

Enceladus: Oh, that's a big change! Sad he needs guards, but happy the harvest is better. He's really helping people there.  

Erinome: About Chinese citizens in Iran: the Iran Chinese Association said most have left, but around 200 choose to stay for now. Hope they stay safe.  

Enceladus: Yeah, hope everything is okay for them.  

Erinome: Economic news now. Because of the Middle East situation, Japan and South Korea's stock markets dropped a lot. South Korea's KOSPI index fell more than 7%. Oh no, that's tough for investors.  

Enceladus: Stock markets can be so unstable. Hope it gets better soon.  

Erinome: Last one! US senators want to tax billionaires—5% of their wealth every year. Elon Musk might have to pay 42 billion dollars in the first year. That's a huge number, um, do you think that's fair?  

Enceladus: 42 billion? That's crazy. Maybe it can help with other things, but billionaires might not like it.  

Erinome: Alright, that's all the news for today. Thanks for joining us!  

Enceladus: Yeah, see you next time, everyone! Bye!
