Topic 1-Boy found dead in abandoned well after 100-hour rescue
A six-year-old boy has been found dead in an abandoned well in north China's Hebei Province after 107 hours of desperate rescue efforts. The story is being widely shared and discussed across the Internet.
How have abandoned and dry wells become a death trap for rural children?
Topic 2-Hired internet trolls bully 1 celebrities 2 as a job
For some people, the internet is like the Wild West: a lawless play-pen where they can get away with being verbally nasty to anyone they'd like. You know—internet trolls ("black fans").
Now there are some internet trolls who are paid to spread rumors 3 and attack celebrities with vicious words.
Who's hiring them? Who's behind the paid internet trolls?
Topic 3-Husky in wolf pit
A zoo in eastern China's Shandong province has admitted to keeping a wounded husky dog in a populated wolf den 4, arguing that the dog was "respected" by the wolves, despite the fact the dog was seen with two limp legs.
