一 | (ECNS) -- Chinese guzheng performer and composer He Beibei won the New Age/Ambient Music award at the Hollywood Independent Music Awards (HIMA) for her original composition Two Moons. He became the first Asian artist to win the category since its establishment. Eight works competed this year, with Two Moons, co created with producer Paul Elliott, taking the prize. She said the album explores the connection between the inner and outer worlds, adding that she hopes the guzheng can serve not only as a cultural symbol but also as an instrument for expressing contemporary emotions and sounds. Blending traditional Chinese instruments with modern musical elements, Two Moons presents a fusion of oriental aesthetics and international expressions. In recent years, He has also participated in international film music projects, including Mulan and Kung Fu Panda 4, and performed widely in the United States to promote exchanges between traditional Chinese music and contemporary art.

二 | (ECNS) -- The first phase of the middle route of China's South-to-North Water Diversion Project had transferred more than 80 billion cubic meters of water to northern China as of Friday, directly benefiting nearly 118 million people, according to the Changjiang Water Resources Commission. The water comes mainly from Danjiangkou Reservoir, where managers balance reservoir inflows, local demand in the Hanjiang River basin, northbound supplies, and downstream ecological needs. This summer, after forecasts pointed to below-normal rainfall, authorities adjusted reservoir operations to retain about 1.5 billion cubic meters more water as a buffer against possible drought. Technology is playing a growing role in monitoring water quality. An AI-powered floating platform works alongside satellites, drones, and ground monitoring stations, feeding data into a digital twin of Danjiangkou Reservoir that tracks water quality, simulates flood scenarios, and supports emergency planning. At Danjiangkou Reservoir, the core water source for the middle route, an autonomous vessel collects samples from different depths to monitor algae. Using AI-powered microscopy, the floating station identifies microorganisms quickly and tracks algal activity, giving early warning of blooms. The vessel is part of an integrated satellite, aerial, surface, and structural monitoring network that combines remote sensing, drones, ground-based stations, and sensors embedded in the dam. By fusing multi-source data in real time, the system has shifted water monitoring "from isolated points to full-area coverage," said Cui Dongdong, deputy director of the technology development department at a company under the Yangtze River Water Resources Commission of the Ministry of Water Resources. With the digital platform, a regulation plan that once took days to produce can now be generated in seconds. The platform runs more than 15 professional models covering flood routing, pollutant dispersion, and dam structure simulation. The 1,432-kilometer middle route canal carries water across the Yangtze, Huai, Yellow, and Hai river basins before it reaches households in the north. Water quality has also improved, and the nationally protected "crystal jellyfish," known as the "giant panda of the water," is now sighted frequently in the reservoir, an indicator of excellent conditions.
