Nearly everyone, regardless of age, has a fondness for chocolate. And no matter how old you are, you'll definitely enjoy uncovering more fascinating facts about chocolate. Keep reading to discover some interesting tidbits.
All the chocolate that we savor comes from a unique plant – the cacao tree. This tree yields special seeds. First, these seeds are dried. Then, they are transformed into chocolate. Cacao trees prefer to grow in the shade, so they thrive when planted beneath the branches of taller trees in the forest. They won't start bearing fruit until they are at least three to five years old. Cacao trees produce exquisite flowers throughout the year. The flowers are white and have small, delicate petals. A type of tiny fly pollinates these dainty flowers. These flies are so minuscule that they can easily perch on the tip of a needle. They flap their wings at an astonishing speed – 1,000 beats per second! It's the fastest on the planet. A cacao pod contains approximately 30 to 50 seeds. This is sufficient to make around seven milk chocolate candy bars!

A group of middle school students from different parts of China showcased their creations at the event.

Jack Livings is currently employed by Time Inc. in New York. During the 1990s, he spent time in China as a student and an English teacher. He has a strong interest in everything related to China. Recently, the American writer composed The Dog, which is based on a genuine story that occurred in China. It tells the tale of a retired racing dog that is safeguarded from being turned into a meal.
When an interviewer, Simons, asked the writer why his first book focused on China, he discussed the challenges of writing about the country. "I admire what writers like Evan Osnos and Peter Hessler have accomplished. For them, distance is not an obstacle. They both succeeded in penning books about China. That's why I wrote the story about China, even though I am indeed far removed from contemporary China. I once worried that I might get the facts incorrect, and all the experts on China would come after me. But they are forgiving of a foreigner's one-sided perspective."
And Jack Livings did exert his utmost effort. He would sit there writing with an idiom dictionary and two Chinese dictionaries. And he would write a Chinese sentence and then spend two hours researching whether that character would truly have expressed it in that manner.
