He finally agreed to hand over the artifacts in July, and the Chinese embassy in Tokyo received them on Aug 20.
最终周某于7月同意上交文物,中国驻东京大使馆于8月20日收到了这组青铜器。
The artifacts arrived in China on Aug 23.
8月23日,这些青铜器抵达中国。

世界范围内死于自杀的人数在下降,但根据世界卫生组织的新数据,每40秒钟仍有一个人自杀身亡,世界卫生组织指出,世界各国应该做出更多努力,阻止这些可预防的死亡发生。
Between 2010 and 2016, the global suicide rate decreased by 9.8%, the UN health body said in its second report on the issue.

"Every death is a tragedy for family, friends and colleagues. Yet suicides are preventable. We call on all countries to incorporate proven suicide prevention strategies into national health and education programs in a sustainable way," said WHO Director-General, Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus.
世界卫生组织的总干事特沃德罗斯•阿达诺姆博士说:"每一起死亡对家人、朋友和同事来说都是悲剧。然而自杀是可以防止的。我们呼吁所有国家用可持续的方式将经过验证的自杀预防策略加入国民健康和教育计划中。"
WHO said close to 800,000 people die by suicide every year, more than those lost to malaria, breast cancer, or war and homicide, calling it a "serious global public health issue."
世界卫生组织称,每年有近80万人死于自杀,超过死于疟疾、乳腺癌、战争和凶杀案的人数,并将自杀称为"严重的全球公共健康问题"。

从2021年起,在英国就读本科、研究生或博士课程的留学生将能够在毕业后留在英国两年。

>Stamps to identify gropers
日本'防狼印章'标记色狼
A new device aimed at tackling sexual harassment on crowded trains and public transport has sold out just half an hour after it went on sale in Japan.
日本最近推出一款新设备,旨在解决拥挤的火车和公共交通上的性骚扰问题,该产品公开发售仅半个小时后就销售一空。
The "anti-groping" stamps, manufactured by stamp-maker Shachihata, allow victims of harassment to mark their assailants with invisible ink, and also provide a deterrent to would-be attackers.
这种"防狼印章"由印章制造商日本旗牌有限公司生产,让性骚扰受害者可以用隐形墨水在侵犯者身上做记号,同时也对潜在的性骚扰者起到威慑作用。
A limited run of 500 stamps, which retailed at 2,500 yen, sold out within 30 minutes of going on sale, a company spokesman said.
该公司发言人表示,这种印章限量发行500枚,零售价为2500日元(约合人民币167元),发售后半小时内就售罄了。
The mark is not visible under sunlight, making it very discreet in public, and is quick to use as there is no lid.
这种印记在阳光下是看不见的,使之在公共场合非常隐蔽,而且由于没有盖子,可以快速使用。
Yayoi Matsunaga, head of the Groping Prevention Activities Center, said the move was "very meaningful."
总部位于大阪的反性骚扰活动中心负责人松永弥生说,此举"非常有意义"。
The release of an anti-groping product "should have a big impact on society, which could lead to deterrence," she added.
她还说,一款防性骚扰产品的发布"会对社会产生很大影响,可能会产生威慑作用"。
