This is a 3D billboard on a Bank of China building in a city in China. Using an optical illusion, it makes the building look like it is wrapped in metallic ripples and being distorted, creating a stunning dynamic visual effect.

You can’t imagine how fast Chinese humanoid robots are evolving.
In just one year, they have evolved from robots to "humans".

On May 18th, 2023, while leading a Chinese climber toward the summit of Mount Everest, Gelje Sherpa discovered a stranded Malaysian climber on the verge of death.
To save the climber’s life, Gelje persuaded his Chinese client to end his summit and descend to the Everest Base Camp, allowing him to focus on saving the stranded Malaysian climber’s life.
He wrapped him in a sleeping mattress, gave him oxygen, put him on his back, and hiked him 6 hours down the mountain to safety.
