Joey Alexander was born in Bali, Indonesia on June 25, 2003. He is so talented in jazz that he is considered a jazz prodigy (神童). However, he says he doesn't like being called a prodigy. He just prefers to be thought of as himself or as a jazz musician.
Joey is from Indonesia but lives in New York now. He started playing the piano when he was 6 years old. He says his success isn't from tons of lessons; it's from feeling the music in his heart.
When Joey was 6 years old, his parents brought home a mini keyboard (键盘式电子乐器). And to their surprise, Joey could play the melody (乐曲) of Well, You Needn't (a Jazz classic written by The lonious Monk). His parents directly gave him piano lessons. In just a year or so, he could already play difficult jazz pieces. For him, jazz is really great. It gives him freedom at playing. That's why he prefers jazz to modern or classical music.
In December, 2011 Joey was invited to play in front of the well-known jazz musician Herbie Hancock during his visit to Indonesia. Now at the age of 12, Joey has performed and collaborated (合作) with many top jazz musicians in Indonesia and also with some visiting jazz musicians from Europe.

(2024·福建) It was reported in May 2024 that the China Wildlife Conservation Association (CWCA,中国野生动物保护协会) will send giant pandas Yun Chuan and Xin Bao to the San Diego Zoo in the United States, which is a symbol of a new 10-year period of international conservation partnership. The CWCA has organized experienced caretakers and doctors to go with the pandas to the US. The zoo is getting ready to provide the pandas with a larger and more comfortable living environment. It has also formed a team with special skills related with panda care, daily nursing, and scientific research.

The cooperation (合作) between the CWCA and the San Diego Zoo dates back to 1996 when Bai Yun and Shi Shi became the first pair of pandas to live in the zoo. Giant pandas Hua Mei, born in 1999, and Mei Sheng, born in 2003, who used to live there, are the result of China-US giant panda research cooperation. Over the past twenty years, the two sides have cooperated and solved many technical problems, including important discoveries in key areas like panda raising.
Since the 1990s, China has cooperated on giant panda conservation with 20 countries. "International cooperation in fields such as disease prevention and control, treatment, and wild training and reintroduction to the wild, has achieved good results. Giant pandas will facilitate communication between peoples and let people around the world know China better," said Li, the leader of the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda.
"Scientific and educational outreach (延伸服务) also serves as a key role in international giant panda exchanges, allowing more people to understand giant pandas, which provides very good support for our efforts in protecting wild giant pandas," Li said.
