一 | (ECNS) -- A retired cultural event planner in China has turned to artificial intelligence to animate 71 historical oil paintings of Chinese railroad workers, producing two short documentaries that have drawn widespread attention on YouTube and rekindled public interest in a long-overlooked chapter of U.S. immigration history. Chen Huiping, who spent more than two decades organizing community cultural activities before taking up video editing as a retirement hobby, used AI-powered animation tools and archival photographs to recreate the perilous conditions faced by Chinese laborers during the Gold Rush era and the construction of the Transcontinental Railroad. The two films, Once Upon a Time in the West and The Bittersweet History of Chinese Railroad Workers, have earned widespread global acclaim. Adapting 71 detailed paintings by Chinese-American artist Mian Situ, Chen utilized AI animation and historical photos to recreate the scenes of Gold Rush migrants and the perilous construction of the Transcontinental Railroad. The films shed light on the often-overlooked contributions of early Chinese pioneers to U.S. nation-building. For Chen, who embraced video editing as a retirement hobby, the goal was to rescue these collective memories from obscurity. As she dynamically demonstrates: “Exploration and new beginnings never have an age limit; you just have to take that first step.” 。 (ECNS) -- A male West African manatee calf named Bixin has turned one month old at Chimelong Spaceship, an indoor theme park in Zhuhai, Guangdong Province, joining China’s largest captive conservation population of the species. Born on July 1, Bixin is the largest manatee calf born at Chimelong to date. At seven days old, he weighed 45.25 kilograms and measured 136 centimeters in length. The calf has a calm temperament and distinctive features, including darker skin and longer front flippers. His mother, Baobao, has been providing attentive care. The experienced mother often swims close to her calf, gently touches his back with her tail and supports him with her front flippers, helping strengthen the bond between them. Manatees are believed to have inspired ancient legends of mermaids. The West African manatee, one of the world’s three manatee species, is listed in Appendix I to the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES). Its wild population has declined in recent years due to habitat loss and other threats. To support the conservation of the species, Chimelong Group has focused on improving habitats and developing breeding techniques. In 2018, Chimelong successfully bred the world’s first West African manatee calf born under human care in nearly 50 years. The facility has since established one of the few stable breeding populations of West African manatees in the world. 。
