  Accidental discoveries have often opened the door to beauty and wonder.The rock paintings in France that date back 15,000 years, for example, were discovered by two boys who were looking for shelter from the rain.The paintings later became the “find of last century”.

  Or, the Sanxingdui Ruins(三星堆遗址), known by historians as the“Ninth Wonder of the World”, were discovered in Sichuan Province by a farmer.

  In the spring of 1929, Yan Qingbao, then a 43-year-old farmer, discovered a circular piece of jade(玉)while digging a hole.Driven by curiosity, he dug deeper and found a group of about 400 colourful jade pieces.

  At the time, he had no idea his discovery would be as important as other wonders of the world such as, China's Great Wall and Egypt's pyramids.

  Since then, more than 10,000 relics(文物), dating back to between 5,000 and 3,000 BC have been unearthed at Sanxingdui.

  These relics include gold, pottery(陶器), bone tools and ivory(象牙)objects.

  They prove that Sanxingdui contains the ruins of an ancient city that was once the political, economic and cultural centre of the ancient Shu Kingdom-the old name for Sichuan.

  It has helped modern historians realize that Sichuan's human history goes back more than 5,000 years.And, located on the upper part of the Yangtze River, the site challenges the common idea that Chinese civilization(文明)rose from a single source-the Yellow River valley.

  Sanxingdui was named the Scientific Education Base for China's Youth in March this year.

  But still, only four of the Sanxingdui Ruins' 12 square kilometres have been uncovered.Who knows what other big surprises are waiting to be shown to the world?

  A disheveled(头发凌乱的)man appeared in court Thursday on charges of murdering a Chinese woman whose fight with her attacker was seen on webcam(摄像头)by her boyfriend in China.Police refused to release any details about the crime or its possible motive.

  The body of York University student Liu Qian, 23, of Beijing, was found Friday in her apartment in Toronto a few hours after her boyfriend witnessed the attack, police said.

  She was found undressed from the waist down but there were no obvious signs of sexual attack or trauma(创伤)severe enough to kill her.Police say it may be weeks before the results of an autopsy(尸体解剖)are known.

  Brian Dickson, 29, stood before the court in a wrinkled white shirt and blue jeans as a charge of first-degree murder was read out.He did not enter a plea.His case was held over until April 26.

  Dickson was arrested Wednesday.Police only announced his name and his age and asked the media not to publish any photos of Dickson, saying it could compromise the investigation.Toronto police spokesman Tony Vella declined to respond to the request further.

  Liu's father, Liu Jianhui, who arrived from China after being informed of his daughter's death, thanked authorities for their quick action.

  “I sincerely thank the people concerned with my daughter's case, ” he told reporters after the arrest.“Our daughter was studying very hard.”

  Police released no motive or details about Dickson, but one friend described the Toronto man as an aspiring actor

  Patricia Tomasi, a friend of Dickson's, told The Associated Press that she acted in a play at a local theater in Toronto with Dickson in 2007.

  “He doesn't seem like the type but that's what they always say, ” Tomasi said.“He's tall with boyish good looks.I don't know much about him except that he wanted to be an actor.”

  Dickson attended York University where he studied global politics, but did not earn a degree from there.

  He later worked for the Atlantic Council of Canada(ACC), where he served as an assistant to the president Juilie Lindhout.According to his biography on a newsletter from the Atlantic Council of Canada, Dickson has also been a running instructor and has been involved with Developments in Literacy, a Pakistani aid organization that raises money for children in Pakistan.

  A statement from the Atlantic Council of Canada on Thursday said it was not council policy to comment on staff, but it confirmed that Dickson had been an intern(实习生)with the council from September 29, 2008, until March 27, 2009.

  Liu was chatting with her boyfriend, Meng Xianchao, by webcam at about 1 am.Friday when a man knocked on the door, police said.

  Meng reported seeing a struggle break out between the two before Liu's webcam was shut off.Meng contacted other friends in Toronto who in turn called police.

  The victim's father, Liu Jianhui, said his daughter studied at Beijing City University before moving to Canada, where she met Meng.

  Liu Qian's laptop computer, webcam and mobile phone were taken from the apartment the night of the attack, police said.Police said the online chat was on a live streaming camera and was not recorded, though investigators were trying to figure out if there was any way they could recover it.

  York University, whose campus is located near one of Toronto's rougher neighborhoods, is one of Canada's largest universities with more than 53, 000 undergraduate and graduate students.About 3, 200 of York's students come from more than 150 foreign countries, the university's website says.
