罗维卫虽因博士学业繁忙难得玩游戏，但身边朋友常和他聊起剧情和画面设计，分享体验。他说，通过朋友讲述和相关报道，自己感受到“游戏等流行文化正成为世界了解中国的新窗口”。
英国机构发布的《2025年全球软实力指数》报告显示，中国软实力已升至全球第二位。近年来，中国流行文化受到世界关注，通过现代与传统元素的创造性融合，加上社交媒体和数字平台的助力，中国的网文、网剧、网游以及电影、服饰、音乐等文化产品，正获得全球越来越多受众青睐。
TRANSLATION
Although Luo Weiwei is a busy doctoral student in medicine and rarely has time to play games himself, he often discusses game storylines and visual design with his friends. Through these conversations and related media reports, he feels that “games and other forms of popular media are becoming a new window through which the world can understand China.”
According to the Global Soft Power Index 2025 released by a British institution, China has already become the world’s second‑largest soft power. In recent years, Chinese popular media has attracted growing international attention. By blending modern creative techniques with traditional cultural elements—and by leveraging social media and digital platforms—Chinese cultural products such as online literature, dramas, games, as well as film, fashion, and music are gaining recognition among an increasingly broad global audience.

四川的 S 城有红十字会的医院招他去当院长，他竟以不置答复的方法拒绝了。他在学生时代本就是浸淫于文学的人，回到上海来，只和些趣味相投的友人，刊行了一两种关于文学的杂志，在他自己虽是借此可以消浇几多烦愁。并且在无形之间或者也可以转移社会，但是在文学是不值一钱的中国，他的物质上的生涯也就如象一粒种子落在石田，完全没有生根茁叶的希望了。他在学生时代，一月专靠着几十元的官费还可以勉强糊口养家，但如今出到社会上来，连这点资助也断绝了。他受着友人们的接济寄居在安南路上的一个弄子里，自己虽是恬然，而他的女人却是如坐针毡。儿子也一天一天地长大了，愁到他们的衣食教育，更使他的女人几乎连睡也不能安稳。因此他女人也常常和他争论，说他为什么不开业行医。
The Red Cross Hospital in S City, Sichuan, sought him out with an offer to appoint him as hospital chief; he, however, refused without even giving them an answer. During his university years, he had lived entirely immersed in literature. After returning to Shanghai, he kept to a small circle of like‑minded friends and published a couple of literary magazines. Writing eased his anxieties, and perhaps it might even stir society in some way. Yet in China, where literature was deemed worthless, his material life was like a seed cast onto stone: no soil to take root in, no chance to bloom.
As a student, he had survived on a meagre government stipend, barely enough to support his family. Now, having stepped into society, even that small allowance had vanished. He relied on the help of friends and lived in a narrow alley off Annam Road. Even tough he himself was nonchalant about it, his wife, however, suffered deeply from their circumstances. Their son was growing and the constant worries about his upbringing, care, and education robbed her of sleep. She often argued with him, unable to understand why he still refused to put his medical training to use.

Origin. Minerals can be formed in various ways. Some crystalize from molten magma and gases of the earth’s interior or from volcanic lava streams that reach the earth's surface (igneous or magmatic minerals). Others crystalize from hydrous solutions or grow with the help of organisms on or near the earth’s surface (sedimentary minerals). Lastly, new minerals are formed by recrystallization in the lower regions of the earth’s crust (metamorphic minerals).
起源。矿物的形成方式有很多。有些矿物是在地球内部的熔岩和气体中，或在到达地表的火山熔岩流中结晶形成的（火成或岩浆矿物）。还有一些矿物是由水溶液结晶形成的，或者在地表附近在生物援助下生长（沉积矿物）。最后，一些新的矿物是在地壳下部经过再结晶而形成的（变质矿物）。
