Though many Internet celebrities try to shrug off their fame, Yan Mingliang, 27, has dreamed of joining the Internet elite(精英) ever since he entered college.
However, luck didn’t favor him. Instead, fame fell into the lap of his pet dog, Beiji. In early 2015, Yan used his microblog to post two pictures of Beiji lying on the ground, and they went viral on social media. Because he took the photos at a strange angle, it almost looks like Beiji’s body has fallen apart.
Finally, Yan got to experience what is like to be an Internet celebrity, or more accurately, the owner of an Internet celebrity dog. New followers started to flood in, and Yan received hundreds of private messages each day. In less than four weeks, Yan managed to attract more than 20,000 followers. “I am famous now.” Yan thought at that time.
However, fame didn’t just bring joy, but also annoyance. Since Beiji was only 3 months old and Yan sometimes had to put him into a cage as a means of “education”, there were also private messages from followers who fiercely criticized Yan for being too cruel.
“It gradually occurred to me that no matter how frankly you present yourself on social media, Internet users only witness part of your life. And their judgments depend on that partial life story of yours,” said Yan, “They don’t know how hard it is to raise a pet dog when you’re unemployed, Yan explained. They also don’t care about whether the dog they’re enjoying is being pushed too hard.”
Yan finally decided to leave his Internet fame behind and focus more on his real life. “The lesson I learned is that, if you can’t live up to your followers’ expectations, it’s better not to be an Internet celebrity,” he said. 8.

As the proverb goes, man struggles upwards; water flows downwards. Water runs downhill from mountaintops to streams, to rivers and to oceans. But downhill isn’t the only way that water moves. A new study measures how water travels from country to country for human consumption. This flow isn’t the type we usually think about. These scientists looked at the water used to grow and make the products which get shipped from nation to nation as imports or exports. They call this a flow of “virtual water”.
We typically think about water as the liquid that flows from a tap. However, 92％of the water used by people goes into growing crops, according to a water researcher Arjen Hoekstra. He recently studied the hidden travels of virtual water used in products made from things like crops and meats. These products are shipped around the world.
For example, consider a sugary soft drink. Hoekstra estimated that to produce one half-liter of the drink requires between 170 and 310 liters of water—about 95%
