Brigitte Macron visited the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding to reconnect with Yuan Meng, the panda she helped name when it was born at France's ZooParc de Beauval. During the visit, Brigitte learned that Yuan Meng had adapted well to life in China and was being well cared for by the breeders. She expressed hope that pandas might one day return to France.

In this vlog, CGTN's Yang Xinmeng documents how these technologies work not by showing off power but by shouldering part of the human experience: recovery, movement, emotion and expression. The result is a portrait of innovation that doesn't feel cold or distant but quietly present in everyday life.
