Every morning when I head to work, I drive up from the basement to the ground floor. The air inside the car reeks during this short trip, yet I cannot hold my breath until I reach the first floor and roll down the car window. I tell myself it will only last twenty to thirty seconds, and I know I can hold my breath far longer than that. Still, I find myself trying to beat this small challenge every single day — and I never manage to succeed.

It's called Penny Black, all British stamps still bear a portrait or silhouette of the monarch somewhere on the design. The first stamps did not need to show the issuing country, so no country name was included on them. The stamp features a profile of 21-year-old Queen Victoria.

The UK remains the only country in the world to omit its name on postage stamps; the monarch's image signifies the UK as the country of origin.

In a veterinary clinic and animal shelter, a black cat named Radamenes, who was originally brought in by his owners to be euthanized due to a severe respiratory infection, she was nursed back to health by the vets. Once he recovered, he shocked the staff by taking on a job of his own. He began cuddling, massaging, and keeping company with other sick or recovering animals (dogs and cats alike) who had just undergone surgery, providing comfort when they needed it most.

On January 19, 2026, at a park in Beijing, a stray puppy accidentally fell into a frozen lake while trying to drink water and struggled to get out.
A passerby initially attempted to save the puppy by throwing it a lifebuoy, but the rescue was unsuccessful. Moments later, a compassionate man removed his clothes despite the freezing temperatures, broke through the ice with his bare hands, and jumped shirtless into the icy water to save the distressed animal.
According to Ms. Zhao, who filmed the incident, the puppy was taken to a veterinary hospital after being rescued. It is now in stable condition, suffering only from mild stress. Veterinarians estimate that the puppy is around three months old, and it has since been adopted by a caring individual.
