Liu Cixin's The Three-Body Problem trilogy* has been popular as a modern science fiction classic since it won the Hugo Award* in 2015. Many of the series'* fans have wondered when there would be a film or television adaptation* of the series*.

Interestingly enough, it turns out that there already is one: a cartoon series called My Three Body. It has been running on Bilibili for the last couple of years. The series uses the computer game, the Minecraft, to bring its story to life.

My Three Body is directed* by Li Zhenyi, who first discovered Liu's work in 2006. As a fan of cartoon and the sci-fi novels, he began adapting his beloved series on his own in 2014.

"At that time, the first book in the series had not won any prizes yet. It was not as popular as it is now in China," Li said. "Many people didn't know about the novel or what it is about. So I wanted to make a video to help everyone understand the story better, since it's easier to watch a video than to read a book."

Bilibili recently released the third season of Li's cartoon series named My Three Body, Legend of Zhang Beihai. People who have watched it speak highly of its story, pictures and music. The series has even scored 9.7 out of 10 on review platform Douban.

Li said he and his team had never expected it to be such a huge success. Meanwhile, he was glad to see that he has got his final goal: to help The Three-Body Problem series reach more people through his work.

Walking is a hobby I keep on for a long time. However, it is also a habit leading to being laughed at. I often walk about three miles from home to work instead of taking the subway. Sometimes, kind-hearted drivers will offer me a ride, thinking that my car has broken down.

But for me, walking is a good opportunity to relax myself. Besides, it helps my back recover from a day spent bent* in front of a computer screen. In terms of health, I have always thought I'd have the last laugh, and now there is even more evidence* on my side.

Scientists began a study on walking on volunteers in 2000. Nine years later, brain* scans showed that those who had walked more had greater brain volume* than those who had walked less. Four years after that, the volunteers were tested again--this time for dementia*. Among the group, 116 people showed signs of memory loss or dementia. Those who had walked the most--at least seven miles each week-- were half as likely to have cognitive problems as those who had walked the least.

Another study has found that the simple act of walking may improve memory in old age. As we become old, our brains shrink, which can lead to the loss* of memory. However, experts say there's still not enough data* to prove that exercise can stop memory loss. It's also too soon to say whether exercise may stop dementia or simply make it happen a little later in some people. But for those who suffer from dementia, even making it a little later could mean a lot.
