>Chang'e 5 set to return'嫦五'準備擇機返回地球The orbiter and returner combination of China's Chang'e 5 probe successfully separated from the spacecraft's ascender at 12:35 pm Sunday, according to the China National Space Administration. The orbiter-returner combination will continue to orbit the moon, and wait for the right time to return to Earth with lunar samples. 國家航天局表示，12月6日12時35分，嫦娥五號軌道器返回器組合體與上升器成功分離，進入環月等待階段，準備攜樣品容器擇機返回地球。Earlier on Sunday, the probe's ascender successfully rendezvoused and docked with the orbiter-returner combination in lunar orbit. 12月6日清晨，嫦娥五號上升器在月球軌道成功與軌道器和返回器組合體交會對接。This is the first time a Chinese spacecraft has carried out rendezvous and docking in lunar orbit. 這是我國首次實現月球軌道交會對接。The samples collected on the moon have been transferred from the ascender to the returner, the space administration said. 無人交會對接完成後，樣品容器從上升器安全轉移至返回器中。The probe’s returner is expected to land at the Si'zi'wang Banner in North China's Inner Mongolia autonomous region in mid-December. 按照計劃，嫦娥五號返回器將在12月中旬著陸在內蒙古四子王旗。If this mission is successful, it will make China the third nation to bring samples back from the moon, after the US and the former Soviet Union.任務成功後，中國將成為繼美國、前蘇聯之後，第三個完成月球取樣的國家。

>'Cooling-off period' added離婚冷靜期新規將施行Under the Civil Code, which comes into effect on Jan 1, couples will have a 30-day cooling-off period after handing their divorce application to the civil affairs department. During the period, either party can withdraw the application.根據2021年1月1日將施行的《中華人民共和國民法典》，夫妻向民政部門提交離婚登記申請後將有30天的冷靜期，在此期間，夫妻任何一方都可以向登記機關撤回離婚申請。Yang Zongtao, a senior official of the Ministry of Civil Affairs' social affairs department, said at a news briefing on Friday that the application system should only be used by couples who had reached an amiable agreement. Situations involving domestic violence are better served through the court system, Yang said. His remarks were directed at concerns raised by many Chinese internet users that this new rule might make it more difficult for people suffering from domestic violence to seek an end to a miserable relationship. 許多網友擔心冷靜期新規可能讓家暴受害者更難逃脫一段不幸的婚姻，民政部社會事務司二級巡視員楊宗濤在12月4日的發布會上表示，離婚冷靜期的規定只適用於協議離婚。對於有家暴情形的，當事人可向法院起訴離婚。Wang Jinhua, director of the social affairs department, said the cooling-off period is in fact designed for couples to avoid making impulsive decisions. 民政部社會事務司司長王金華表示，離婚冷靜期的設置主要是為了避免衝動離婚。"The period offers them an opportunity to give a second thought to their marriage, to think whether they have really fallen out, and whether they have properly arranged their matters afterward concerning children or other family members," he said.王金華表示，冷靜期給了那些衝動離婚的人一劑後悔藥，夫妻雙方應妥善考慮，是不是感情確已破裂，是不是對子女撫養等問題都進行了妥善安置。
