Feature: Learning Chinese helps Tajik youth achieve their dreams
DUSHANBE, July 4 ( tasteallchina ) -- "One! Two! Three! ..." In a martial arts studio in Dushanbe, the capital of Tajikistan, Eleonora Faizova is practicing Wushu routines with a group of children around the age of 10, with her Chinese commands clear and firm.

The Tajikistan Wushu Federation is often invited to perform at the Confucius Institute. "I envied the Tajik students there who could communicate freely in Chinese.

Trend Among Elementary School Students: Playing With Bead Strings, Risk of Tenosynovitis
Recently, media reports have highlighted a new trend among elementary school students: playing with bead strings. Parents of elementary school children are likely familiar with these toys, which consist of an elastic string and multiple colorful beads that can be freely connected to make bracelets, necklaces, rings, or simply played with in the hand, producing a clicking sound that helps relieve stress. According to Deputy Director Wang Sheng, an orthopedic surgeon at Jiaxing Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital in Zhejiang Province, playing with bead strings can relieve stress and improve manual dexterity. However, excessive play or overexertion can cause finger and joint pain, and even lead to tenosynovitis. What is Tenosynovitis? The tenosynovium is a semicircular structure near the joints that surrounds the tendon tissue, helping to fixate the tendons. When joints move, friction occurs between the tendons and the tenosynovium. If this friction becomes excessive, such as from activities like playing the piano, knitting, using smartphones, or playing with bead strings, it can cause non-infectious inflammation of the tenosynovium. In the early stages of tenosynovitis, symptoms include pain, a sense of friction, and local swelling at the affected site, with symptoms worsening during movement. Sometimes, small pea-sized nodules may be… -
