Avatar 3: Fire and Ash - Family Ties and Civilization Conflicts
Avatar 3: Fire and Ash, the latest work in James Cameron’s sci-fi epic series, continues the adventure of the Sully family on the magical planet Pandora. Unlike the previous films that focused on the conflict between humans and Na’vi, this movie turns to the divisions and struggles within the Na’vi civilization, making the story more complex and thought-provoking.
After the death of their eldest son Neteyam, Jake Sully and Neytiri’s family is trapped in deep sorrow. Their relationship is on the verge of breaking, and their younger son Lo’ak even blames his father for his brother’s death. Meanwhile, a new Na’vi clan called the Ash People appears. They live in the volcanic area and have lost faith in Eywa, the goddess of Pandora, due to past disasters. Led by their chief Varang, they ally with human villains, bringing new dangers to the Sully family.
The most touching part of the film is the growth of Spider, Jake’s adopted son. Born to a human villain but raised by the Na’vi, he struggles with his identity. Finally, he realizes that family bonds are more important than blood. In the end, the Sully family and different Na’vi clans learn to understand each other and unite to protect Pandora. The film uses the metaphor of fire and ash to tell us that forgiveness and unity can help us get through difficulties, and family is always our strongest support.

In recent years, more and more elderly people in China have been building lasting friendships, which bring them joy and support in their later lives.
Ms. Wang, 72 years old, lives in Beijing. She made friends with three other women—Ms. Li, Ms. Zhang, and Ms. Zhao—at a community garden five years ago. Every morning, they meet at the garden to do tai chi (太极) together. After that, they sit on a bench and chat about their daily lives—their children, their grandchildren, or interesting things they saw on TV. “Before I met them, I felt very lonely,” Ms. Wang said. “My children work in other cities, so I live alone. But now, I look forward to every morning because I know I will see my friends.”
These four friends also help each other in many ways. Last year, Ms. Li fell and hurt her leg. Ms. Wang, Ms. Zhang, and Ms. Zhao took turns visiting her and bringing her meals. They also helped her clean her house and take care of her plants. “They are like my family,” Ms. Li said. “I don’t know what I would have done without them.”
Another group of elderly friends in Shanghai has a different way of staying connected. They formed a “book club” three years ago. Every Saturday afternoon, they meet at a community center to read and discuss books. Most of the books they read are about Chinese history or traditional culture. “Reading together helps us learn new things, and discussing the books brings us closer,” said Mr. Chen, 78 years old. “We also share our own stories and experiences while talking about the books. It’s very interesting.”
These friendships are not just fun—they also have many health benefits. Studies show that elderly people with strong friendships are less likely to feel lonely or depressed (抑郁的). They also have better physical health, because they are more active and take better care of themselves when they have friends to support them.
Many communities in China are now encouraging elderly people to make friends. They organize activities like tai chi classes, book clubs, and craft (手工) workshops. These activities give elderly people a chance to meet others and build new friendships. “We want to help elderly people live happy and healthy lives,” said a community worker in Guangzhou. “Friendship is an important part of that.”
