Xiao Pan, did you see the news today? Ten thousand peace doves were released at Tiananmen Square.

小潘

I saw it! So many doves flying together—the scene was beautiful. But, Teacher, how can they find their way home?

That's the special ability of homing pigeons. They can remember directions and their home, and they use the position of the sun, just like little compasses.

小潘

I see! I thought they might get lost. I heard they all returned within fifteen minutes, is that true?

刘娜

Yes, most of the doves quickly flew back to their lofts. Actually, they had already been trained many times before the event.

小潘

I find it really touching. Peace doves aren't just animals; they're also a symbol, reminding us to cherish peace.

Well said. Each little dove is like a flying poem, connecting people's feelings to the country.
