In the case of China, the latest battlefield is beauty camera apps, which have become an overnight hit in the West.1. MeituPicDeveloped by the Xiamen-based Meitu Inc, MeituPic is the companys flagship beauty camera app and was the first to become a big hit among Western users. The app has drawn some 456 million users, who use it to post more than 6 billion photos every month.In addition to MeituPic, Meitu Inc has developed a series of beauty camera apps such as Beauty Plus, Poster Labs and Meipai, each specializing in facial feature improvement, video editing and many other features.2. TiantianpituTiantianpitu, is a beauty app developed by Chinas Internet giant Tencent. Similar to other photo-editing apps, Pitu offers a number of beautifying filters, blemish（瑕疵）removing tools and virtual makeup choices for users to choose from.Launched in 2014, Pitu has accumulated 106 million monthly active users (MAUs). While the number is not as impressive as that of Meitu s apps, some argue that the user base of Tencent s gaming products and chat applications, such as QQ and WeChat, gives Pitu great potential for further growth. According to Chinese app watchers, Pitu s target audience is younger and more individualized than that of MeituPic. 80 percent of Pitu s users are younger than 25, giving the app more room to try out more new features.3. FaceUIn contrast with most other beauty apps, FaceU, focuses more on the social feature, encouraging users to video chat with friends and even strangers while playing with its fun stickers ( 贴纸) and the strategy is undoubtedly working. Launched in 2016, the app, which mainly targets female users between 15 and 35, hastwice made it onto the Apple store s Chart for top apps.21.

Now 18, he has spent years trying to make Legos easier for blind kids to enjoy.The blocks themselves are not difficult for blind people to put together. But Legos large sets including bridges, starships, historic scene, and famous buildings are a different story. They have hundreds or even thousands of pieces and complex written instructions. These make it very hard for blind people to build a set without a lot of help from a person who can see. “I was always just drooling over the sets because they sounded so amazing,” Shifrin says. “But I knew that I would never have access to them.”That changed on Shifrins 13th birthday. Lilya Finkel, a family friend, gave him the Lego set Battle of Alamut, a castle with 821 pieces. She had translated the instructions into Braille( 盲文). She had also made other changes, like dividing the pieces into plastic bags based on which step they were to be used in. Shifrincould build the set without his parents help. “This was a rare case in which the impossible was made possible and the playing field was leveled,” he says.Now Shifrin hopes to share accessible Lego instructions with other blind kids. He and Finkel have translated more than 20 Lego instructions for the blind. Shifrin has also set up a website, Lego for the Blind, where people can download instructions and volunteer to help translate instructions into Braille. “I hope that the next generation of blind children will benefit and will feel the level playing field that I felt when I built that first set,” he says.24.
