The Three Brothers of Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Jin, and Zhuge Dan rose to prominence in the Three Kingdoms era and were all given noble titles. While Zhuge Liang served Liu Bei in Shu, Zhuge Jin joined Sun Quan in Wu, and Zhuge Dan switched allegiance to Cao Wei. Despite all achieving high-ranking positions, Zhuge Dan ultimately faced a tragic end at the hands of Sima Zhao after rebelling against the Wei dynasty's ruler. Their different aspirations led them to serve different rulers, with Zhuge Jin seeking peace and recognition in Wu, Zhuge Liang aiming to restore the Han dynasty under Liu Bei, and Zhuge Dan pursuing personal fame and glory in Cao Wei. Zhuge Dan's fate serves as a stark reminder of the consequences of choosing the wrong path during the turbulent times of the Three Kingdoms.

Following the conclusion of university entrance exams in mainland China, businesses have started selling 'volunteer consultation' services, pricing ranging from hundreds to tens of thousands of Chinese yuan. Some even pose as live streaming influencers, selling expensive consultation services with opaque pricing, raising concerns of fraud. Despite such chaos recurrently happening, there is a lack of stronger regulation and oversight from relevant CCP departments. With 13.42 million people participating in this year's university entrance exams, an increase of 510,000 from the previous year, results are being gradually released starting from the 23rd, with candidates beginning to make their selections. Each year after the exams, candidates and parents in mainland China pay for volunteer report services that contain consultation services. One education group recently launched a volunteer selection service priced at nearly 20,000 Chinese yuan, which sold out within 3 hours. Some parents who obtained the most expensive product believe their children are halfway into university already, with many considering this education group as a benchmark. There are more than 1,400 volunteer consultation companies in mainland China, offering expensive services that do not guarantee admission but capitalize on the anxiety of candidates and parents. Some individuals combine social media and become live stream influencers, taking the business of 'volunteer selection planners' to a larger stage, portraying themselves as 'guides' and being highly popular among candidates and parents; however, their fees are high, pricing is opaque, and there are suspicions of fraud.

Youth Daily, June 22, 2024, 12:00 PM Reporter Shi Xinyinyu/The United Nations Secretary-General Guterres expressed concern on June 21 over the escalating tensions between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon, warning against Lebanon turning into a second Gaza. With the recent clashes between the Israeli Defense Forces and Hezbollah militants, as well as Israel's approval of a military operation in southern Lebanon, fears of a regional war in the Middle East have risen. Guterres urged all parties to exercise restraint and reduce the risk of miscalculation, emphasizing the role of UNIFIL and UNTSO peacekeeping personnel in stabilizing the situation on the ground. In efforts to ease tensions, both the Lebanese and French governments are considering deploying troops to the south for security missions. However, concerns remain about potential security risks that could arise if Lebanese troops are stationed in the area. The ICRC reported that at least 22 people were killed when an office in the Gaza Strip was hit by Israeli artillery on the same day. With ongoing rocket attacks by Hezbollah militants in southern Lebanon and Israeli ground offensives in Rafah, more civilians are fleeing the area, raising fears of a new humanitarian crisis and escalating cross-border conflicts.
