On Monday，Xu Mengtao won her first Olympic gold in women’s aerials(空中技巧) at the
2022 Beijing Winter Games.It was not hard to see what it meant for Xu：When the score 108.61
came up with a “1” by her name，she pointed one，then two fingers to the sky and let out a
scream.
“Xu is one of the handful of women to consistently try the high-risk triple flips(三周空翻)
over the years，”said American Ashley Caldwell，another triple-flip enthusiast who finished
fourth.“While triple flips are not unheard of among the women，the list of athletes who have tried
them consistently is short.At the last two Olympics，only four of the 12 finalists tried triple flips in
the final round.”
Women’s aerials is a sport full of risk-takers but all the risks are very calculated.Since the
competitions go through a series of qualifying and elimination(淘汰) rounds that include only one
jump each，only a select few over the years have been willing to give up the certainty of a solid
score with a double flip for the triple flips.
Xu doesn’t adopt the strategy and keeps trying the triple flips.“It adds extra some might say
unnecessary risk to the early rounds，”Xu once said.“But I’m OK sacrificing some good
competition results to make the sport look good.”
Failures at the last three Olympics tested the limits of how much Xu was willing to sacrifice.In
meet after meet，from Vancouver to Sochi to Pyeongchan，her strategy kept her away from the
gold medal but she kept pushing anyway.
“It’s a sense of mission accomplished.This is a winning night for women’s aerials，
too，”Xu said after the award ceremony.“If a lot of girls are doing triple flips up there and I
fall，there would still be a lot of girls who would do well.If I mess up，that’s OK.”

In the near future，instead of going to your wardrobe(衣柜) to choose something to throw on
for your next video call，you might turn to your virtual wardrobe to pick out a 3D digital dress to
wear.At least，that’s what a number of people in the fashion and tech space are relying on as
more businesses look to the promise of digital fashion.Moreover，those virtual clothes won’t just
be for your video calls，but could eventually be worn all over the virtual world，and eventually，
perhaps，viewed on your body in the real world through the Augmented Reality(AR) glasses.
“There are more and more second worlds，where you can express yourself.But there is
probably an underestimation of the value being attached to individuals who want to express
themselves in a virtual world with a virtual product，through a virtual image，” a marketing
officer Robert said.As the field develops，there are two ways of using digital clothes—wearing
them yourself through AR and providing digital clothes for your virtual body.
But why should we replace our physical clothes? Supporters say there’s unlimited creative
expression through digital clothes ， which now look increasingly more elegant thanks to
developments in 3D and AR technology.“Clothing represents an expression of a personality.It
always exists in the physical world，and it will exist in the virtual world，” said Simon
Whitehouse，a designer.
He explained，“From the brand side，it’s incredibly profitable to sell clothes without
producing physical clothes.It’s reinventing an entire supply chain.There’s no water usage，and
there’s very limited CO emission.There are no samples being sent out or returned.There are no
2
show rooms，and there’s no physical prototype(实物模型)．”

Amazing and perfectly beautiful，The Midnight Library is everything you’d expect from
the genius storyteller，Matt Haig.I picked it up from our readers’ recommendations(we asked
our readers to send in some of their favorite recent books) and I can see why it won Best Fiction of
2020 in the Good Reads Choice Awards.
The story follows Nora Seed，a woman who is struggling and feels like nothing in her life has
gone according to plan.While the initial chapters of the book are quite sad，Nora finds herself
given a chance to start over in the Midnight Library，a magical place full of books of all the
different paths her life could have taken.Nora is forced to stay in the library and try out different
versions of her life until she finds the life she most wants to live.
I loved the idea that no dream or fork in your road is insignificant，and that they all lead us to
become different versions of ourselves.In one life，Nora is an Olympic swimmer.In another，she
is a glaciologist living on a boat off the coast of Antarctica.The novel reveals in a beautiful way that
the potential we all have within us is impossible to measure，and that we have the possibility to be
happy in many different versions of life.
It also discusses how dangerous it can be to live your life with regrets.The Midnight Library
revealed to Nora that even if you make very different choices ，you may uncover a deeper
appreciation for your current home and the people in your life.It is your perspective that matters.
I really loved the fantasy and magical realism in this novel，and I would love for this to be
turned into a series where we get to explore The Midnight Library of other characters’ lives as
well.
