Video games have been a popular pastime since the 1980s, and with an ever-expanding variety of genres(种类), artistic styles and storylines, it is no surprise that many still enjoy them.
Here are a few popular picks for you to try this summer. Take a look! The Legend of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild
Developed by Japanese video game company Nintendo, this action-adventure video game was released in 2017 with the launch of the Nintendo Switch, Nintendo’s newest video game console(电子游戏机).

Choice Awards, and has sold over 19 million copies. It was listed as the best video game of the decade on the review website Metacritic. The Outer Worlds
The Outer Worlds is a sci-fi role-playing game that was released in October last year. The game is set in a future world where mega-corporations(大型企业)control everything — even outer space. The Outer Worlds is unique because the choices you make in the game change how the story will end.
“From a story standpoint, every time we do a game, we’re just trying to get better,” Leonard Boyarsky, one of the game’s directors, said in an interview with PC Gamer. “You learn way more from failure than you do from success and we’ve had a lot of, uh, learning experiences.” The Outer Worlds has sold over two million copies and has won several awards for its memorable writing, humor, visual design and voice acting. Minecraft
Even though Mojang Studios released it in 2011, Minecraft has maintained its position as the most well-liked video game. In fact, according to Mojang Studios, Minecraft had 126 million monthly users by May this year. “I had no idea it would get this popular,” Minecraft creator Markus Notch Persson admitted in an interview with London-based media company Den of Geek.
Minecraft is a sandbox video game, which means it is an open world with endless possibilities. It can be played on multiple platforms, and it even has its very own LEGO set. The world of Minecraft is made up of 3D blocks, a design that US entertainment website IGN described as “instantly memorable”. 21. Which one is the most popular video game according to the article?

Known as “China’s most popular love comedy”, Romance of the Western Chamber is regarded as one of the best works of its time. The play was written over 700 years ago by Yuan Dynasty dramatist Wang Shifu (1260-1336).
Set in the Tang Dynasty, the play tells the secret love story between a young scholar Zhang Sheng, who is on his way to take the highest imperial exam in the capital city, and Cui Yingying, daughter of a chief minister of the Tang court.
After bandits(土匪)surround Cui at a temple, her mother promises her daughter’s hand in marriage to whoever can defeat them. Zhang manages to drive the bandits away, but Cui’s mother takes back her word because Zhang is poor. However, Zhang and Cui have already fallen in love. With the help of Cui’s maid Hong Niang, the two continue their romance and break many barriers.

In fact, the play represents a high mark of achievement in romantic Chinese literature, and is quite popular. It has given rise to many sequels and rewritings, and also influenced countless plays, short stories and novels. The Peony Pavilion and Dream of the Red Chamber probably wouldn’t exist if it weren’t for Wang’s classic play.
The play also inspired generations of artists across various mediums such as woodblock prints, paintings and porcelain. This fine art is still on display at places such as Freer Gallery of Art in the US and Kwun Tong’s Sun Museum in Hong Kong.
The ancient porcelain pieces depicting iconic scenes from the tale are indeed impressive. The characters are like “the superheroes from another time”, Rachel Leung, associate curator(副馆长) of Sun Museum told China Daily. “It’s exactly like the Marvel franchise.”
“This story is basically about ... trying to break the societal strictures. It’s about courage and perseverance to pursue true love,” Leung said. “It’s surprising to know that centuries ago our ancestors
