For example, we can push a lot of richer teaching content, such as some video materials, such as some interactive mini games, which can span time and space. You can bring children and students from different countries together and do an activity. They find it very novel and very excited, so they have a high degree of participation.
So we think that in the future, online and offline interaction, and then combined with this kind of mixed teaching will be a normal teaching in the future.
