When Ma Hu was chosen for a baseball training camp in Beijing, the 12－year－old
didn’t have the slightest idea how baseball was played or even what a baseball field
looked like.
The son of a migrant worker in Ningxia, Northwest China didn’t have enough
warmth of family.In the past, he was a headache for the teachers at school, acting up
in class and fighting with classmates during break time.
“I was lost at the street crossing and got picked up by the camp people” is how Ma
describes how he came to join the training camp run by the Power Baseball Angel

households and remote areas.

get into the national top three would qualify for college admission.Other good players
could join professional baseball teams.Still others could work at the base, teaching
the newcomers.

including his early days when he fought with his teammates and ignored the coaches’
instruction，is part of an award－winning documentary Tough Out on the young
baseball players at the camp, which was released in December 2020.
The documentary focuses on the team of underprivileged and abandoned children
who struggled to learn a new sport and build a new life for themselves while fighting

The icy beauty of the Arctic attracts thousands of visitors every year to see its
wonderful wildlife, landscape and local cultures.Visitors can take ships on a voyage
along the Arctic Ocean or take flights to cities along the Arctic edge.No matter how
one gets there, they should wear warm clothes and get ready to take in the attractions.

expanse and the fragility of its environment are two things that really blow__away
people，” said Cheryl Rosa，the director of the US Arctic Research Commission.

Abisko National Park, Iceland, America’s Alaska or Canada’s Yukon, according to
Space.com.Charles Deehr, an expert at the University of Alaska Fairbanks’
Geophysical Institute, recommended planning a trip between winter and spring,
especially when there is a new moon.
Even though the Arctic is a popular tourist destination, don’t forget that people live
here too.“ It is recommended that visitors go with tour groups that are respectful of
Arctic residents (居民) and their culture，” said Rosa.“Too many people can disturb
the small villages.Finding tour groups that work with local communities is
important.”

provide.It’s always helpful to have a little extra money to spend or to save.
