Listening to the hearts of the martyrs, Dandong City, Liaoning Province jointly visited the glorious home.

Write in front

The Party’s Report to the 20th CPC National Congress emphasized "making good use of red resources" and "focusing on cultivating new people of the times who are responsible for national rejuvenation". The broad masses of soldiers and civilians in Dandong City, Liaoning Province consciously carried forward the spiritual pedigree of the Communist Party of China (CPC) people, which originated from the great spirit of party building, carried out in-depth publicity and education on socialist core values, and deepened education on patriotism, collectivism and socialism, and achieved remarkable results.

The relevant departments of the military and local governments jointly visited the glorious home, and the stories of the military martyrs became fresh teaching materials for everyone to learn spiritual strength and learn to publicize and implement the spirit of the 20 th Party Congress.

Listen to the hearts of martyrs

-A Record of the Joint Military-civilian Visit to the Glorious Home in Dandong City, Liaoning Province

(1) father and son together on the battlefield.

Haven’t arrived at the martyr Fengyun Lin’s home, the old man with silver hair in Liu Shuying was already greeted at the door.

"I was only 54 years old when Fengyun died, and the standard of pension and living allowance given by the state has been raised continuously for more than 40 years …" Liu Shuying, who just sat down in the living room, was 97 years old. The Certificate of Revolutionary Martyrs is hung on the west wall of the living room. On February 17th, 1979, Liu Shuying’s lover, Fengyun Lin, then the former deputy political commissar of a division in shenyang military area command, died heroically in an important military action.

The relevant leaders of the Propaganda Department of Dandong Municipal Committee introduced that "Fengyun Lin and their son Lin Ping also participated in important military operations at the same time." At that time, Lin Ping served as the leader of the combat team in the 9 th Company of a certain regiment. After his father died, he endured grief and continued to fight, serving as the acting platoon leader to lead the whole platoon of soldiers to complete the task well.

After returning from the battlefield, Lin Ping comforted his sacrificed father with excellent work performance and rewarded the honor and status given by the country. As the deputy company commander, he made the company’s agricultural and sideline production a "model demonstration unit" in the military region; As a staff officer, section chief and section chief, he became a model of the Sixth Meeting of Staff Officers, a model of cadres, an excellent grass-roots officer and an excellent military commander in the military region. He served as the political commissar of the People’s Armed Forces Department and led the militia to plant trees and help the poor. The People’s Armed Forces Department was commended as the "National Advanced Unit for Poverty Alleviation".

"After his retirement, he is still a member of the Municipal Committee for Caring for the Next Generation and a member of the Veterans’ Report Group …" Vagrancy, deputy director of the Retired Military Affairs Bureau of yuanbao district, Dandong City, said that from Lin Ping, he can better understand why the party’s Report to the 20th CPC National Congress emphasized that "all party comrades must be Do not forget your initiative mind, remember their mission, be modest and prudent, work hard, and be brave and good at fighting".

(2) children are all models.

In the home of Liu Rifang, a martyr in the gorgeous city community of Dandong City, a large banner photo of more than two meters long and hundreds of people taking a group photo is particularly eye-catching. "This is a photo taken on July 11, 1963 when my father went to Beijing as a representative of the’ Four Good Companies’ to attend the commendation meeting of the military region." Liu Rifang’s daughter Liu Wei pointed to a handsome young officer in the photo.

Liu Rifang joined the army in 1947, fought in the DPRK twice, and repeatedly made meritorious military service. His greatest expectation for his children before his death was that everyone should "serve in the military, join the party and become a model".

"Our four brothers and sisters followed their father’s wishes, all served in military service, joined the party, and all became post pacesetters or models." There are 4 siblings and 19 honorary certificates, which have become a vivid footnote of Report to the 20th CPC National Congress’s proposal of "strengthening the construction of family education and family style": Liu Wei, the eldest sister who worked in the civil affairs department for 33 years, was a model worker in the civil affairs system of Liaoning Province before retirement; Liuyong, who works in the material department, was a post model of Liaoning material reserve system before retirement; Liu Ge is an advanced worker in the agricultural bank system at the city and county levels; Liu Gang, who was laid off from a state-owned enterprise, was kind and helpful, and made a name for himself in his part-time job, becoming the "most beautiful retired soldier" and "a model of learning from Lei Feng" in Fengcheng City, Dandong City.

At the martyr Ding Lei’s home, the martyr’s wife and teacher of Liaodong University, Charlie, told us that in October 2020, when her lover died trying to save a child from drowning, she was pregnant for five months.

On May 21 last year, Charlie’s ankle was accidentally injured. After the operation, she wore a plaster cast and insisted on taking a wheelchair to the classroom to give lectures to the students. The school has set aside a room for her to have a rest after class. "During the day, I sit on the folding recliner at the back of the classroom; In the evening, tutor students at any time, killing two birds with one stone. " Optimistic Charlie joked with a smile.

"During the COVID-19 epidemic last year, Charlie used WeChat video connection during the isolation period to help more than 20 college students with their homework." According to the leader of Liaodong College, Charlie was rated as a model teacher by Dandong City. During the discussion and exchange of studying, propagating and implementing the spirit of the 20th Party Congress in Dandong Veterans Affairs Bureau, relevant leaders introduced that there are 192 families of martyrs like Charlie in the city, and the total number of martyrs’ survivors and descendants is 490, of which more than 78% are role models or models in their posts or industries.

"The government gives preferential treatment, and we can’t slack off."

(4) the village first built buildings.

Not long ago, when we arrived at Ma Shuyan’s home, the 70-year-old daughter of Ma Honghe, a martyr to resist US aggression and aid Korea, she was feeding, supplying water and cleaning chicken manure with intelligent equipment.

"The temperature and humidity in the henhouse are relatively constant …" Ma Shuyan introduced that this intelligent ecological breeding system for chickens and ducks has reduced the breeding cost through ecological breeding, and the quality of eggs and ducks has also been significantly improved.

As the only daughter of a martyr, Ma Shuyan lived a tight life in her early years and has been living on government preferential payments. After her husband died, she once became a poor household in the village. That year, the town government sent her 200 chickens, which were carefully fed and sold for several thousand yuan at the end of the year. Raising chickens tasted the sweetness. In the second year, Ma Shuyan expanded the scale of breeding and raised 1,600 chickens, earning more than 30,000 yuan at the end of the year.

"The government gives preferential treatment, and our military families can’t slack off." After getting rich, Ma Shuyan first built a two-story building in the village. Driven by her, more than 2,900 villagers in the surrounding villages of the local area made a fortune by raising chickens. Learning to understand the content of rural revitalization in the Party’s Report to the 20th CPC National Congress, Wang Jianxin, commander of Dandong Military Division, said: "To build beautiful countryside, we need more advanced models like Ma Shuyan to lead the way."

Guan Hongyue: Less and diligent. Jiang Jian

⑤ The elder brother and sister are 19 years old.

"My brother died at the age of 19, and I was admitted to college at the age of 19." Guan Mingyue, a martyr from Li Jiacun in Shalizhai Town, Fengcheng City, said this when his sister Guan Hongyue was full of thoughts for her brother. How happy it would be if father and brother were still here and shared her joy!

This used to be a happy family of four, parents, son and daughter. Sixteen years ago, Guan Mingfu, who served in a certain armed police unit, died in a military exercise. His father couldn’t bear the pain of losing his son and died after being hospitalized intermittently for more than three years.

"Red Crescent is very competitive and strong." Wen Shuyan, the mother of the martyr, proudly introduced, "This year’s college entrance examination was unveiled, and she was admitted to Liaoning University of Finance and Trade."

"Neighbors say that my mother is an iron man, and sometimes she works three jobs alone. Some time ago, the nail of the left thumb was smashed off, and I was not willing to delay a day’s work. " Guan Hongyue said distressfully.

"The government gives us preferential payments, rural subsistence allowances and poverty alleviation subsidies every month, and relatives and friends also help us. The more so, the more we can’t slack off." Wen Shuyan said contentedly, "On the day when Red Crescent received the university admission notice, don’t mention how happy I was, and I felt that it was worth it to be bitter and tired again. The foreign debt has been paid off, and Guan Hongyue’s tuition fees need not be worried. There is no shortage of this in life. What is not enough? "

Nowadays, the two village committees organize to study, publicize and implement the spirit of the 20th Party Congress, and Wen Shuyan’s mother and daughter have become an example for the villagers to pay tribute.

⑥ "working girls" return to their hometowns to set up factories.

In Tongyuanbao Town, Fengcheng City, Dandong City, the entrepreneurial experience of the elder sister and younger sister of martyr Wang Liguo has become a wonderful case for the villagers to study, publicize and implement the spirit of the 20th Party Congress.

In the winter of 2011, Changsha City, Hunan Province suffered a freezing disaster. After retiring, Wang Liguo, who worked as a road manager in Changsha Road Squadron of Linchang Expressway Management Office, died in his post. At that time, his mother was sickly, and his sister Wang Liyan and sister Wang Liping faced the problem of re-employment.

"During that time, my mother said every day that the government had given enough preferential treatment to the survivors of our martyrs. We should all stand on our own feet and live a good life with our own hands."

"Our two sisters almost went out to work when my mother pushed and drove them out." Sister Wang Liping said that the two sisters worked in an equipment company. They started from the most basic neck-pulling process of making thermometers, studied hard and practiced hard, and asked if they didn’t understand. In less than two years, they learned the production process of thermometers all over again, and became the famous Aauto Quicker among all employees. In five years, the two sisters grew up step by step from workshop workers, group leaders and administrators, and eventually both grew up to be workshop directors.

In 2019, Wang Liyan and Wang Liping resigned and returned to their hometowns to start businesses, and received financial support from the local government. "The government can think for us, and we must also contribute to the government." After their factory was officially put into production, they recruited local young left-behind women to work flexibly at home. Starting a business and getting rich does not forget to repay the neighbors. When the neighboring villages are flooded, they donate generously. When there was an COVID-19 epidemic in the local area, they offered masks, disinfectant and other materials to the duty card point for epidemic prevention and control.

Now, deeply understanding the Party’s Report to the 20th CPC National Congress’s proposal of "consolidating and expanding the achievements in tackling poverty and enhancing the endogenous development momentum of poverty-stricken areas and people", "working girls" returning to their hometowns to set up factories has once again become a hot topic for local cadres and people.

"Society gives care, and we convey warmth."

⑦ Two heavy honors

Walking into the home of martyr Hu Yulong, the newly renovated house is spacious, clean, bright and tidy, which makes people shine at the moment. Wang Xue, Hu Yulong’s wife, said with regret: "In August 2020, Hu Yulong came back from the army to visit relatives. He just finished decorating his house and died in the flood before he could live."

The husband is a hero, and the wife is not behind. When the COVID-19 epidemic spread in Dandong City, Wang Xue was the first to submit an application letter to the First Hospital of Dandong City. After 77 days of continuous fighting in the anti-epidemic isolation area, she lost more than 8 kilograms.

Prior to this, Wang Xue suppressed the pain of losing her husband in her heart, and compiled more than 290,000 words of "Clinical Notes for Nurses" in one year. People in the industry read it and praised it again and again. "This notebook details the nursing details of common cases in detail and can be called a model teaching material for nursing cases."

"After Hu Yulong’s sacrifice, all walks of life offered love in different ways, which made our whole family feel warm." Wang Xue said emotionally, "The society gives care, and I should pass on this warmth."

Studying, propagating and implementing the spirit of the 20th Party Congress, many people were shocked by these two heavy honors. During the two years of Hu Yulong’s sacrifice, Wang Xue won the honor twice with wisdom and sweat: last year, she was awarded the title of "March 8th Red Flag Bearer" in Dandong, and this year, she was awarded the honor list of "the most beautiful retrograde person" in Dandong.

The pride of two generations of soldiers.

When I visited the home of Sun Jiping, a martyr of the Armed Police, I just caught up with the leaders of Dandong Public Security Department to present the honorary certificate of "Love Police Mother" to Sun Jiping’s lover Wang Guirong.

Touching the honorary certificate of "Police-loving Mother" just awarded by the Ministry of Public Security and the All-China Women’s Federation, Wang Guirong was excited. Twenty-seven years ago, she took care of her parents-in-law who had been ill in bed for ten years, and was commended as "the most beautiful and good military wife" by the Armed Police Force.

Wang Guirong recalled that Sun Jiping was an instructor of the Dandong Frontier Detachment of the Armed Police, and his son Sun Ganye was only five years old when he died saving people in the winter of 1995.

"I lost my dependence at home and felt that the sky had collapsed!" Wang Guirong said, "During that time, from the army to the place, I don’t know how many good people helped us both."

Wang Guirong, who was "helped" by love, cheered up again. After getting up at 4 o’clock every morning, he rode his bike to send his son Sun Ganye to school before going to work. For 13 years, rain or shine. After graduating from high school, Sun Ganye signed up and became a glorious armed police soldier. Later, Sun Ganye lived up to expectations and was admitted to the Xinjiang Urumqi Frontier Command College of the Armed Police. As soon as he graduated, he took the initiative to apply for service in the front-line frontier troops where his father worked before his death, and he did a good job in everything. When he was the chief officer of the detachment, his unit won the "National Demonstration Unit for Law Enforcement of Public Security Organs" and also won the collective first class merit.

Wang Guirong’s unremitting self-improvement has become the pride of the two generations of soldiers, and has also become an advanced model of "carrying forward Chinese traditional virtues" put forward by Report to the 20th CPC National Congress.

Pet-name ruby 72 years of gratitude uninterrupted line.

When I arrived at the home of Ji Guishan, a martyr who resisted US aggression and aided Korea in Yang Jiacun, Liujiahe Town, Fengcheng City, the scene in front of me made my eyes hot: Wang Guiqin, a 91-year-old widow with white hair, was sitting in the yard peeling corn.

"Grandma Wang is the best person in the world!" Village accountant Dan Dan said, "I have heard from my grandfather since I was a child that there are almost no people in thousands of families in the village that Grandma Wang has not helped."

The old man quickly grabbed the conversation: "When my family’s mouth (Ji Guishan) died, I was less than 20 years old, and the child I was pregnant with was only 4 months old. If the villagers didn’t help me move out of the ravine and help build a house, I don’t know if I could live to this day!" Since then, for 72 years, Wang Guiqin has been "repaying kindness", and which mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are in conflict, she takes the initiative to help mediate; Whose child plays truant, she helps to get back to class; When the rain fell on the farmland, she picked up a shovel and took the rain to help drain it. Whose livestock was lost, she helped to find it overnight; Which family is short of rice and salt, she takes it from her own family … Just for these ordinary people’s ordinary things, in the 1970s and 1980s, Wang Guiqin was praised as "Dandong Moral Model" three times before and after.

Today, Wang Guiqin is old and agile, and she still refuses to be idle. She has become the "grandmother" of more than 30 left-behind children in the village, helping village cadres to cook and deliver food for left-behind children. At the end of 2021, at the age of 90, she was commended by Fengcheng as "a good man in Fengcheng".

From the old man Wang Guiqin, more soldiers and civilians truly understand the practical significance of "carrying out the project of citizen’s moral construction and carrying forward Chinese traditional virtues" put forward by the Party’s Report to the 20th CPC National Congress.

Walk into the martyr’s home

■ Xu Jun, Dandong Military Division, Liaoning Province

On November 4th, Aunt Lin, a martyr’s family member whose house collapsed and proof materials were lost due to typhoon in Gekeng Town, Dehua County, Fujian Province, successfully applied for the "three genera" preferential card with the help of the county and town veterans service centers.

On November 7th, Wang Yu and Li Na, collectors of anti-Japanese war cultural relics in Shenyang, Liaoning Province, made public their wish with the help of the news media: to find "relatives" for more than 500 special cards for martyrs and send them home.

Reading the news of "One South and One North" can’t help but make people feel warm.

From caring for the martyr’s family, to the real experience of the martyr’s family’s devotion, I always think of the theme song "Meeting is a Song" of a popular military TV series a few years ago: "You once told me that meeting is a song, eyes are the sea of spring, and youth is the green river; Meeting is a song, the peers are you and me, and the heart is the young sun … "

Yes, eyes are the sea of spring. Walking into the martyrs’ homes and facing the martyrs face to face, you can always find those stories that have moved people for a long time with the eyes of "discovering beauty". In the face of interest choice, their profound understanding of righteousness is like a primrose, which makes us feel the warmth of the party and government and the civilization and progress of the times. A few years ago, 47 "glorious homes" in Xiangcheng County, Henan Province, after reaching the standard of getting rid of poverty and getting rich, took the initiative to apply for withdrawing from the subsistence allowance, so that the "life-saving money" could help the people who were in urgent need. In recent years, a large number of martyrs’ families, retired soldiers and key special care recipients in Liaoning Province have taken the initiative to apply to be river chiefs, forest chiefs, road chiefs and field chiefs, actively making suggestions and contributing wisdom and strength to rural revitalization. An army leader said that every visit to express condolences and listening to the hearts of martyrs is a purification of emotions and souls.

Yes, youth is a green river. Walking into the martyr’s home, we were shocked again and again. Most of the relatives of the martyrs are in their youth, but they have sacrificed their flesh and blood for the motherland and the people. Regardless of the war years or the peace construction period, soldiers will face sacrifices. The difference is that the former often makes the same contribution as a mountain with heroic feats in an instant; The latter often pays his life bit by bit, spreading the mountain-like credit very flat and far. In the new era of Socialism with Chinese characteristics, we are far away from the war, but soldiers often still face sacrifices: earthquake relief, soldiers straightened their unyielding backbone; The soldiers built a safe dam to fight floods and rescue. A local leader said that every visit to express condolences and reliving the heroic feats of martyrs is a correction of values and a correction of outlook on life.

Yes, it’s you and me. Walking into the martyrs’ homes, we feel more strongly that for the sake of the motherland and the people, not only soldiers can see it at ordinary times, stand out at critical moments and get out at critical moments, but even their parents, wives and even underage children often have to bear sacrifices. The martyrs who died are respectable, and the living martyrs can learn from them. Building a new era in Socialism with Chinese characteristics calls for our concerted efforts. At present, the whole country is studying, propagating and implementing the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. In many places, military and local leaders have reached a consensus that they should pay more visits to the glorious homes in the future, because every visit is an effective improvement in the quality and efficiency of the work of "double support" and a practical improvement in the unity of the military, the government and the people.

Is "end-to-end" the optimal solution for autonomous driving?

  Author: Yang Zhongyang

  Recently, "end-to-end" has been on fire in the car circle! Tesla’s benchmark demonstration effect based on the "end-to-end" FSDV12 (fully autonomous driving) scheme, and the rumors of joining China, have driven companies such as "Wei Xiaoli" and service providers such as Huawei and Horizon to turn around and add end-to-end autonomous driving technology.

  The so-called "end-to-end" actually comes from the concept of deep learning, and English is "end-to-end (E2e)", which means that through an AI model, the final result can be output as long as the original data is input. When it is applied to the field of automatic driving, it means that only one model is needed to convert the sensing information collected by sensors such as camera, millimeter-wave radar and laser radar into specific operating instructions such as the steering angle of the vehicle, the stepping depth of the accelerator pedal and the braking strength, so that the vehicle can realize automatic driving. In the words of He Xiaopeng, the founder of Xpeng Motors, it is "very silky" and more like "human drivers driving".

  Previously, most autonomous driving systems on the market were traditional modular, that is, a mix-and-match system with artificial and intelligent worlds: perception relied on neural networks, and planning and control used algorithms designed manually by humans. The advantage of this system is that the division of labor is clear, and it is convenient to check and solve the defects in modules. But the problem is that this modular automatic driving system performs well in relatively simple driving tasks, and its ceiling is obvious in the face of complex driving tasks. Even the so-called advanced intelligent driving function of the city, which is far ahead, still has a sense of machinery, and it will also stop when it merges into the expressway and passes through a large intersection.

  Considering that the core challenge of autonomous driving is to solve endless edge scenes, the cost and time of solving the infinite long tail problem with limited manpower are incalculable, and data and modeling have become an inevitable trend. However, end-to-end, it is also a difficult technical job that needs careful polishing by the master.

  On the one hand, end-to-end needs massive high-quality data "feeding" training. Unlike the big language model, which can crawl a large amount of text data on the Internet for training, the cost and difficulty of obtaining video data for end-to-end intelligent driving are extremely high. Take Tesla as an example. At present, its FSD has accumulated more than 20 million human driving video clips, and the data collection cost of this scale only needs 5 billion to 8 billion yuan.

  On the other hand, end-to-end needs the support of powerful computing power. Automatic driving involves technologies and solutions such as lidar, image perception and V2X vehicle-road coordination. Powerful computing power is not only conducive to real-time processing of massive data, reducing data transmission delay, but also better supporting the whole scene for smart cities, smart transportation, high-level autonomous driving and so on. However, the computing power growth of domestic enterprises such as Huawei BU, Baidu Jiyue, Weilai, Ideality, Geely, Great Wall, Tucki, etc. are currently facing major bottlenecks.

  The problem is that the constraints of computing power and data will significantly affect the development of the algorithm. Although UniAD, an end-to-end autopilot model put forward by domestic academic circles, won the Best Paper Award of CPVR in 2023, which provides a reference direction for domestic enterprises, but UniAD developed under the open-loop verification system and small sample data still needs some engineering transformation and large-scale data training.

  In addition, the upper and lower limits of the autopilot system will be enlarged end to end. Because the end-to-end construction is a neural network black box, in the process of obtaining a higher upper limit, some of the interpretability of the traditional module scheme is transferred. How to retain the interpretability in the autopilot system and characterize the rules that should not be overstepped, such as don’t run a red light, into the neural network to ensure the end-to-end application and evolution safely, will also be an important topic for regulatory engineers.

  There are two routes to climb Mount Everest: one is the northern slope of Tibet, China, and the other is the southern slope of Nepal. Whether you choose to climb from the south slope or the north slope, you will eventually reach the same peak. This is similar to the current development path of autonomous driving. Although it is still difficult to determine that end-to-end is the optimal solution or final solution of autonomous driving, this does not hinder the innovation and exploration of enterprises. After all, end-to-end can handle extreme cases better than traditional modular methods, and it represents a more efficient way to reduce the dependence on manual coding. Based on this path, perhaps autonomous driving can lead to a higher stage. (Yang Zhongyang)

A Survey of German Students in Zhejiang University Writing "Chinese Dream" and Riding in Wan Li

   Yue Kaihan, a German student majoring in China from Zhejiang University who graduated with a master’s degree this year, spent nearly 100 days riding a bicycle from Mohe City, Heilongjiang Province to Sanya City, Hainan Province, with a journey of more than 5,800 kilometers.On the way, he would ask the strangers he met along the way: "What is your China dream?"

  The answer he got from Wan Li Road becameHis master’s thesis — — The Chinese Dream of the Common People.

  "The school has always been very supportive of students majoring in China to get out of the classroom and books and get to know the real China through field visits. Yue Kaihan proposed to the instructor to get to know China by riding, and focused on the common people in China ‘ Chinese dream ’ Our understanding has been supported and encouraged by our teachers. The school also specially applied for the project funds for his research. " On November 27th, Lu Yuan, a teacher of China Studies Center of Zhejiang University, told The Paper.

  Exploring the "Chinese Dream" of Ordinary People by Riding

  Yue Kaihan’s Chinese name was taken by a friend. His real name is Jorg, and he is 28 years old. He came to China for the first time in 2011. In one year, he learned to use chopsticks and learn Chinese in Chengdu, Sichuan. Out of interest in China culture, Yue Kaihan went to China Center of Zhejiang University to study for a master’s degree in China in 2015.

  It is understood that the China Studies Center of Zhejiang University has started to recruit and train masters in international cooperation since 2010. Up to now, it has recruited more than 350 international students from more than 50 countries around the world. This major is designed to systematically study China’s social, political, economic and historical degree courses in English, so that students can improve their Chinese level, feel China culture, integrate into China society, and carry out research on China issues.

  Lu Yuan introduced that China studies is not limited to the classroom, but also encourages students to go deep into China society and let them contact ordinary Chinese, such as farmers and citizens. Through interviews and investigations, they find the problems faced by China society and propose solutions. To this end, on the basis of classroom teaching, each course will set up a field investigation class, and the examination is not limited to the examination paper, but more in the form of project report.

  "Yue Kaihan thought is mature, have their own ideas, action, he has been to many cities in China. Before the opening report of the paper, he proposed to the instructor to learn about China by riding. The instructor suggested that he combine the research with the topic and write the riding experience as a paper. " Luyuan told The Paper.

   Yue Kaihan said that he first heard the word "Chinese Dream" in 2013, and now it has become a high-frequency word in China.But he doesn’t know what the "Chinese dream" is in the eyes of ordinary people in China. To solve this problem, we must visit historical sites and modern buildings in China, visit cities, stop in the countryside, climb mountains and rivers, and ask questions to people of different ages and classes.He also wants to learn more about China.

  He chose cycling to get to know China, which he thought was natural, environmentally friendly and friendly, and also had high flexibility and freedom. Two months before departure, he conducted assault training, from riding 30 kilometers to 80 kilometers, and then riding from Hangzhou to Shanghai.

  In order to make the "Riding China" plan not affect his studies, Yue Kaihan completed all the postgraduate courses in one year. He also planned his cycling route very rigorously — — It spans 12 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government) in China, with a total distance of over 5,800 kilometers. He chose Arctic Village, Mohe, Heilongjiang as the starting point of his journey, which is the northernmost place in China, and ended in Sanya, Hainan, passing through big cities such as Beijing and Wuhan, as well as historical sites such as Shaolin Temple and Yin Ruins, as well as many small towns.

   Open WeChat official account to write cycling experience.

   On May 1, 2016, Yue Kaihan took the second-hand simple folding bicycle given to him by a friend, carried a big backpack, got on the train from Hangzhou to Harbin, and then took the bus to Mohe Arctic Village.

   His big backpack is equipped with tents, inner tubes, pumps, cloth strips and other items, as well as electronic products such as mobile phones, tablets, charging treasures and cameras. There are only two sets of clothes to change.

   Before the trip, Yue Kaihan also registered on WeChat WeChat official account "Where is Brother Yue going" to record what he saw during the trip. On the day of the trip, he wrote: "If I will pass through the city where you live, please contact me. I am very happy to know your city, listen to your story, and be a couch potato in your home. "

   Every time he goes to different cities and meets impressive people, he will write these stories in WeChat official account. For example, on the 57th day of cycling, he was in the birthplace of Chenjiagou Tai Ji Chuan in wen county, Henan Province, and Mr. Li, a teacher from Tai Ji Chuan, provided him with free accommodation. During the conversation, Yue Kaihan found that Mr. Li was originally a solar engineer … …

  On the way, Yue Kaihan will focus on the differences between urban and rural areas in China, and the different concerns of young people and the elderly. He found that older people are less concerned about economic interests and have no desire to earn a lot of money. They are more concerned about the stability and fairness of the whole society. Young people will talk more about education and personal future development, and occasionally mention personal interests, fitness and other issues. The difference between urban and rural areas is obvious. People in the village want to live a happy and peaceful life, while people in the city want to do what they want.

   Asking people along the way "What is your dream of China" is a question that Yue Kaihan must ask everywhere. He repeated this question hundreds of times.

   He thinks the answer he got is very true.The "Chinese dream" of a female restaurant owner in Mohe Arctic Village is to help the elderly improve their quality of life and reduce the burden on the younger generation. A worker in Yangshuo, Guangxi dreams of a well-off and rich material life; A computer student in Changchun University hopes to realize his personal ideal and make contributions to society … …

  Yue Kaihan came to the conclusion that in the eyes of most ordinary people, the "Chinese dream" is related to the improvement of living environment, the prosperity of the country, social harmony and social reform. The "Chinese dream" of individual citizens mainly focuses on practical aspects, such as wealth, happiness, self-realization and family. Officially, the "Chinese Dream" is the rejuvenation of the whole country and nation. Even though the people are vague about the specific ways to realize their dreams, they all agree that only the rejuvenation of the nation can bring happiness to the small family.

Sichuan cuisine will not decline, nor will it be killed by hot pot.

  Sichuan cuisine will not only not decline, but also develop strongly, and it has nothing to do with hot pot.

  Not long ago, I was invited to a dinner party. There were many respected predecessors in the field of Sichuan cuisine. One old Li impressed me. As a chef of Sichuan cuisine, he went to Europe to participate in an international cooking competition and won the highest prize.

  At the dinner table, when the younger generation asked about the inheritance of Sichuan cuisine culture, although Li Lao was over 70 years old, his thinking was particularly "advanced". He said:

  Suitable for the present, it is good!

  Today, in this article, I will talk about my understanding of hot pot culture and Sichuan cuisine culture.

What exactly is "hot pot culture"?

  First, from the perspective of consumers.

  The origin of hot pot is that dock workers collect animal offal that was once off the table when they were short of clothes and food, and cook it with a pot of spicy taste to get rid of the odor, which is convenient for eating and solve the most basic problem of food and clothing.

  From this origin, we can see that the "primitive culture" of hot pot is actually a cooking method of ingredients used by low-income workers to solve the problem of food and clothing. In short, hot pot was born to satisfy the appetite. If there are other cultures, they are all derived cultures.

  Even now, society is no longer short of food and clothing, and people are no longer eating hot pot to solve the basic demand of food and clothing, but it still has not got rid of the primitive culture of "appetite":

  The vast majority of people eat hot pot, eating all kinds of ingredients that are scalded and scalded into their mouths, as well as the spicy taste that strongly stimulates the taste buds.

  Based on this primitive culture, the ranking of hot pot quality is derived, first of all, the taste is good, and then the ingredients are good. Whether the ingredients are good or not has two meanings: the first is the freshness of the ingredients themselves, and the second is the presentation of the ingredients to the taste. For mass consumers, what most people care about is actually the second meaning.

  Many ordinary consumers who like hot pot judge the ingredients of hot pot by who can fully reflect the taste of that pot: the ingredients that can fully display the taste of the bottom of the pot are good ingredients; On the contrary, no matter how high-grade or fresh it is, it is useless.

  In recent years, many hot pot restaurants in Sichuan and Chongqing have used top-grade beef, foie gras, three-headed abalone and wild turtle to blanch, but these high-grade ingredients can’t replace the status of hairy belly, duck intestines and yellow throat, and they are only limited to some niche hot pot restaurants.

  To sum up, from the consumer’s point of view, the hot pot they accept and agree with is that the bottom of the pot dominates the world: the bottom of the pot is the protagonist forever, and all other ingredients are supporting roles.

  In view of this, from the perspective of ordinary consumers, talking about hot pot culture should not just talk about "all ingredients have one taste".

  Second, from the perspective of hot pot operators.

  For almost all hot pot operators, there is only one criterion for judging the hot pot culture they care about, and that is whether the restaurant can make a profit.

  From Chongqing Wharf to the streets of China, hot pot has undergone earth-shaking changes in terms of brand, ingredients, space and service, and new changes will occur every once in a while. However, the bottom of Sichuan-Chongqing hot pot has hardly changed, even if there is a slight change, it is based on fine-tuning of butter, bean paste, Zanthoxylum bungeanum (such as adding spices).

  If someone insists that the bottom of the pot has changed, then the biggest change should be due to food safety considerations, and the hot pot has changed from a recyclable bottom (old oil) to a disposable bottom. However, this change not only did not affect the development of hot pot, but also made it become the first category in the national market from the regional category of Sichuan and Chongqing markets, and made many brands as well as many hot pot operators.

  Therefore, from the perspective of change and invariability, the core that supports and achieves generations of hot pot operators is the "invariable pot bottom". Other factors, represented by ingredients, are only constantly iterating and changing according to market needs in different periods.

  After understanding the difference between the two, we can easily draw the following conclusions:

  For hot pot operators, the bottom of the pot is the core element to support their long-term profit, while ingredients, space and services are the synergistic elements that play different roles at different stages. In view of this, the hot pot culture they care about is the same as consumers, and it is "a bite of the bottom of the pot to conquer the world". Therefore, from the operator’s point of view, there is no need to say that the bottom of the pot tastes single.

  Before talking about "hot pot culture", we must first divide people and determine their identities. Different people and identities will produce different cultural definitions and value recognition. If anyone says that hot pot culture should be based on their own standards, everything else is wrong, then this person is mostly a liar.

  So much for hot pot culture today.

Some professionals say that hot pot is "killing" Sichuan cuisine. Originally, this is the focus of today’s article. Why should we spend so much space to introduce the hot pot culture? Because I don’t agree with this view, we should make the "premise" clear before refuting it, and "hot pot culture" is this premise.

Sichuan cuisine, will it die from hot pot?

  In September, someone wrote an article entitled "Sichuan cuisine, died of hot pot", arguing that with the prosperity of hot pot in the whole country, Sichuan cuisine gradually weakened in consumers’ cognition.

  In fact, since last year, some catering forums have also been discussing this topic. I don’t agree that "the decline and malaise of Sichuan cuisine" is forcibly tied to the prosperity of hot pot.

  In my opinion, Sichuan cuisine will not only not decline, but also develop strongly, and it has nothing to do with hot pot. Next, I support my argument from three aspects.

  First, the ingredients of Sichuan cuisine.

  Experts from all walks of life like to start with the ingredients, and let’s look at the problems of Sichuan cuisine from the ingredients first.

  The article "Sichuan Cuisine Died in Hot Pot" said that the great richness of domestic ingredients began 20 years ago, and suddenly there were so many ingredients, the cooking of Sichuan cuisine became a big problem, and a conclusion was drawn-"For more than 20 years, the food culture of Sichuan cuisine has almost been exported."

  First of all, I don’t see the causal relationship between the rich ingredients and the cooking problems of Sichuan cuisine; Secondly, even if there is a relationship, it is not a positive correlation as the article said, that is to say, even if Sichuan cuisine is declining, it is not because of the richer ingredients. If Sichuan cuisine is rich in ingredients, there is a lack of innovation for emerging ingredients as a whole, and there is no progress in sticking to the rules, there may be some truth.

  I don’t want to talk about the ingredients of Sichuan cuisine, because the reason has been mentioned in the first part. Many people criticize Sichuan cuisine as much as they criticize hot pot. In particular, some people who like Cantonese cuisine are full of contempt for Sichuan cuisine.

  Whenever someone complains about Sichuan food, saying that it is only spicy and the ingredients are terrible, a large number of Sichuan food lovers will get angry and rush to theory, but I am the opposite, not angry at all.

  Why? As mentioned earlier, everyone’s judgment standards are different. Whether experts refute that Sichuan cuisine culture is declining or consumers complain that Sichuan cuisine is only spicy, it has not stopped the popularity of Sichuan cuisine in the national market. There are people who spit, but more people like it.

  Second, the seasoning of Sichuan cuisine.

  Sichuan cuisine and Hunan cuisine are expanding wildly all over the country. Why? It is largely due to the irreversible spicy taste.

  The beauty of Sichuan cuisine lies in its taste.

  Seeing this, some people may say that the current Sichuan cuisine has no other flavor, only spicy. Let me assume that this statement holds, assuming that Sichuan cuisine is only spicy now, which is also great. Why?

  There are various subdivisions in the pursuit of spicy taste, which reflect the differences between spicy, spicy, sour and spicy, dry and spicy, dry and spicy, bad and spicy, and burnt spicy; In the extraction of spicy taste, in addition to dozens of fresh peppers, there are also pickled peppers of various years; In the division of spicy degree, there are not spicy, slightly spicy, medium spicy, extra spicy, abnormal spicy and other subdivisions; In the shape of pepper, there are differences such as whole use, strip, filiform, segmented, granular and velvet.

  Many people have a shallow understanding of spicy. When it comes to spicy, they only know Chili, ignoring that garlic is spicy, ginger is spicy and onion is spicy. And this is the seasoning skill of Sichuan cuisine master in compound flavor.

  Sichuan cuisine is diversified and diversified in its spicy presentation, and not a single word "spicy" can be simply summarized. What’s more, Sichuan food is not only spicy, it has 24 flavors, more than half of which have nothing to do with spicy.

  There are so many flavors of Sichuan food, if consumers only remember spicy food, I think it is also a great good thing. The reason is like opening a restaurant. I have 24 dishes that I think are very classic, but consumers love only one of them, so I have opened restaurants all over the country. Is there anything more gratifying than this?

  Third, the chef of Sichuan cuisine.

  In fact, the reason why I hold the view and belief that Sichuan cuisine will not decline and will not be killed by hot pot is because of Sichuan cuisine.

  Whether it is the application of ingredients or the seasoning of various flavors, it is inseparable from the group of chefs. Although there are many problems in this group at present, their existence and continuation are still the foundation of the development of Sichuan cuisine.

  There are generally two obvious reasons for the decline of a cuisine. One is that the dishes are not accepted by the market, or they have been accepted but gradually abandoned by the market. From this point of view, Sichuan cuisine has no such possibility at all.

  Secondly, the number of technicians who cook dishes has decreased, and the number of employees has dropped sharply, leading to the decline of cuisines. From this point of view, it seems that Sichuan cuisine has this risk, but is it really so? Not really.

  From the scale of employees alone, the team and number of chefs in Sichuan cuisine still stand out from other cuisines. With their existence as back-end technology and the acceptance of Sichuan cuisine in the front-end consumer market, Sichuan cuisine can’t decline, let alone be killed by hot pot.

  So, why do so many people say that Sichuan cuisine is in decline? Or, why don’t some Sichuan chefs cook Sichuan food well and go to other restaurants to work? This involves the third question today: the current dilemma of Sichuan cuisine.

The current dilemma of Sichuan cuisine: the brand is seriously lagging behind.

  I once expressed my opinion by short video: at present, the number of stores in Sichuan cuisine must far exceed the number of stores in Hunan cuisine.

  Many Sichuan restaurants are scattered couples’ shops, which are neither in the industrial and commercial registration system nor on the Internet platform. They are in a statistical blind area and are easily overlooked. Previously, the data circulating on the Internet that "Hunan cuisine stores exceed Sichuan cuisine" should be "the number of brand stores that can be counted". From this perspective, Hunan cuisine stores may indeed have surpassed the number of Sichuan cuisine stores, which leads to our third problem today, that is, the current development dilemma of Sichuan cuisine:

  In the development of branding, Sichuan cuisine is seriously lagging behind, and Hunan cuisine is far behind.

  Nationally, the famous Hunan cuisine brands include Chef Fei, Farming Record, Cooking Smoke, Wangxiangyuan, Pengchu, Lanxiangzi, Xiangchilli and so on, all of which are representative brands that have risen in the last 12 years, and most of them have established market barriers and continue to expand strongly.

  Looking back at Sichuan cuisine, in the 12 years since the outbreak of the mobile Internet, has there been a national brand that has done very well? Chengdu’s Todd casserole is very good, and it is also a representative of Sichuan cuisine, but its stores are only in Sichuan at present, which is only a regional brand, not a national brand. What else? I don’t think so!

  Although Sichuan cuisine does have well-known representative brands in high-end brands, and the number of stores in low-end markets also crushes other cuisines, as far as the national catering brands in the middle layer are concerned, there are almost no representatives who can get it. It is no wonder that so many people derogate from Sichuan cuisine.

  It has a spicy and aggressive taste that is popular in the market, and it also has a large number of technical practitioners. Why haven’t there been several well-known national chain brands of Sichuan cuisine? This has become a problem that puzzles many business experts and investors, and it has also become a problem that many Sichuan catering people are not convinced but dare not say.

  In fact, to understand this problem, we must put aside the consumer’s perspective, put aside the expert’s perspective and simply return to the operator’s perspective. Although it may not be completely right, it can explain many phenomena clearly.

  For catering operators, profit is the core pursuit. Whether it is short-term or long-term, once there is a better and faster way to make profits, brand creation will inevitably rank lower.

  In short, let’s look at "seven who want to".

  First, when you can make money just by taste, who wants to really care about the quality of ingredients?

  Those pure take-out shops that operate Sichuan style, even if they sell all junk ingredients and even all cooking bags, still make thousands of orders every month, and even open dozens or hundreds of branches. For them, there is no shortage of orders only by taste, and ingredients of course become a secondary choice.

  Second, when young consumers all over the country can be conquered only by spicy flavor, who wants to study other flavors with heart?

  A spicy grilled fish can sell hundreds of millions of turnover; A spicy maocai’s technical teaching can easily earn tens of millions. When a single taste can kill the market, the richness of taste becomes a secondary choice.

  Third, when you can earn the franchise fee quickly, who wants to earn only the hard money of selling vegetables?

  Chengdu East Street Gourmet Street is jokingly called "Merchants Join a Street" by many catering people. Many practitioners who want to make quick money want to open a shop here. It is not important whether a single store can make money or not. What is important is that the store must be popular and queued in order to join the company. When it is better to make money by joining, selling vegetables to make money has become a secondary choice.

  Fourth, who wants to be a long-term brand when you can get enough opportunities by relying on short-term brands?

  To open a restaurant, the traditional management idea is to do long-term business, but the market changes too fast, consumers like the new and hate the old, and the decline of many old shops also gives the market the illusion that brands cannot make long-term profits. Therefore, when short-term brands can also make profits, long-term brands become secondary choices.

  Fifth, who wants to run only one brand when they can keep making money from brand joining?

  Chengdu is a fertile ground for catering, with more than 3 million people visiting Chengdu every year. As long as the store business is booming, there will never be a shortage of intentional franchisees who take the initiative to find the door. Leeks are like grass and never fail! When you can make money by multi-brand attack, a single brand becomes a secondary choice.

  Sixth, when you can open hundreds of stores without a mature management team, who wants to do the coolie work of forming a team?

  In order to run a brand well for a long time, a professional team is standard, and forming a team is an extremely hard and troublesome thing, and there is also the risk of brain drain. Therefore, when you can open hundreds of stores without a team, it is a secondary choice to form a team to become bigger and stronger.

  Seventh, if it is easier to make money by making a category that does not depend on chefs, who wants to rely heavily on chefs’ Chinese food?

  Hot pot, skewers, barbecues, grilled fish and other categories with single items are king, and there is no shortage of latecomers every year, just because they are highly standardized, and it is easier to do more stores in a short period of time.

  Therefore, when the market can still rely on highly standardized categories to make money, Sichuan cuisine that relies heavily on the kitchen team becomes a secondary choice.

  Knot

  The current Sichuan cuisine, to make an inappropriate metaphor, is like a rich second generation who doesn’t worry about eating and drinking. Chengdu, the "Laozi", has fertile land and fruit trees everywhere. If you are hungry, you can stand up directly and eat a lot of fruit with your mouth. Of course, you don’t want to tinker around to find food. When will it change?

  There are two situations that may bring about changes. One is passive change, that is, Chengdu’s catering market has undergone major changes, and it will no longer be the "Jerusalem" of the catering industry, and it will no longer become a "pilgrimage place" for national catering people, completely losing the opportunity to easily earn franchise fees. However, this situation should not be seen in the short term. As far as catering is concerned, Chengdu’s status as a gourmet capital cannot be shaken by other cities in China.

  The second is to take the initiative to change. For example, there are more excellent catering people in Sichuan. They are both dreamers and careerists. They don’t want to be the "rich second generation" in Chengdu market. They want to do something different from others and get different achievements from others.

  No matter whether or not these changes appear, or when they appear, Sichuan cuisine will not decline and will not be killed by hot pot.

  Even if Sichuan people don’t work hard, Sichuan cuisine will still be popular in the market in the foreseeable future, and it will still be the cuisine with the most technical employees.

  Of course, Sichuan cuisine may indeed stop because of complacency and "superior family", which has happened now and will continue to exist in the short term. From this perspective, it is also a regret, and it is a regret that belongs exclusively to Sichuan catering people.

Provide the strongest political guarantee for realizing the Chinese dream.

  [Roundtable Dialogue on "Striving Forward in the Direction Guided by the General Secretary: Historical Change in My Eyes"]

  The five years since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China have been extraordinary in the development of the Party and the country. In his "July 26th" speech, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader emphasized that in the past five years, the CPC Central Committee has scientifically grasped the development trend of today’s world and contemporary China, complied with the requirements of practice and people’s wishes, launched a series of major strategic measures, promulgated a series of major principles and policies, pushed forward a series of major tasks, solved many long-term unsolved problems, and accomplished many major events that had been tried but failed in the past. Among the nine major tasks listed by General Secretary of the Supreme Leader, the first one is: "We have comprehensively strengthened the party’s leadership and greatly enhanced the party’s cohesiveness, combat effectiveness, leadership and appeal." On the eve of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, this newspaper specially invites four experts and scholars to review the glorious course that the Communist Party of China (CPC) has gone through in the past five years and make an in-depth interpretation of "comprehensively strengthening the leadership of the Party".

  Moderator: Luo Xu Wang Haokui

  Jiabin: Xiong Yun (Vice President of China Pudong Cadre College)

  Han Dongxue (Vice President of Chinese Political Science Association, Professor Tsinghua University)

  Xu Yaotong (Professor of National School of Administration, former director of scientific research department)

  Feng Cuiling (Party Secretary, School of Pharmaceutical Science and Technology, Tianjin University, National Excellent Party Worker)

  1. What the mission requires.

  Moderator: Of the nine "major tasks" summarized in the "July 26th" speech of the Supreme Leader, the first one is "comprehensively strengthening the Party’s leadership". What does this mean?

  Yun Xiong:The Communist Party of China (CPC)’s leadership is the most essential feature of Socialism with Chinese characteristics and the greatest advantage of Socialism with Chinese characteristics system. Strengthening the party’s leadership in an all-round way is not only a historic achievement made by the party and the country in the past five years, but also the fundamental reason for other achievements made by the party and the country.

  In the past five years, the key to our party’s solution to many long-term unsolved problems and many major events that we wanted to do in the past but failed to do is to comprehensively strengthen the party’s leadership. Only by further building the Party well and ensuring that our Party will always maintain its vigorous vitality and strong combat effectiveness can our Party lead the people to successfully meet major challenges, resist major risks, overcome major obstacles and resolve major contradictions, and constantly move from victory to new victory, thus providing the strongest political guarantee for realizing the Chinese dream.

  Han Dongxue:Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, facing the complicated international situation and domestic environment, comprehensively promoting the new great project of Party building is the key to the continuous innovation of Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s great cause.

  The Communist Party of China (CPC) is the leading core of China’s modernization. If we want to give full play to the role of the ruling party, we must strengthen the party’s leading role in the country, constantly improve the party’s leadership style and ruling style, and promote the modernization of the national governance system and governance capacity. At the same time, to govern the country, we must first govern the party. Only by striving to achieve our own leap forward, can we continuously inject vitality into the cause of the party and the people.

  Xu Yaotong:Building Socialism with Chinese characteristics is an extremely arduous undertaking and a great creative project in human history. We can neither find ready-made answers from Marxist books, nor copy the experiences and models of other countries. We are facing the dual tasks of reform and construction, and we will encounter all kinds of obstacles. Its arduousness, complexity and long-term nature are incomparable at any time in the past. Without the Party’s leadership and strategy, it is impossible to accomplish the great cause of Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s construction.

  Only by strengthening the Communist Party of China (CPC)’s leadership, combining the universal principles of Marxism with China’s reality, and testing the road suitable for China’s national conditions through practical exploration, can we fully understand the construction law of Socialism with Chinese characteristics and formulate the correct line, principles and policies.

  Feng Cuiling:We should be soberly aware that there are still some problems in the Party, such as the weakening of the advanced nature of some party member cadres, the weakness and laxity of some Party grass-roots organizations, formalism, bureaucracy and corruption. Failure to change this situation will weaken the party’s ruling ability, shake the party’s ruling foundation, and even ruin the bright future of our party and people.

  Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, under the leadership of the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core, many long-term unsolved problems have been solved, and many major events that we wanted to do in the past have been accomplished. The Communist Party of China (CPC) takes the overall situation into consideration and plays the core role of the Party’s leadership in all aspects of economy, politics, culture, society and ecological civilization. The development in all fields shows that "strengthening the Party’s leadership in an all-round way" is the mission and the need of the cause.

  2. Always want to be with the people and work together.

  Moderator: "The party’s cohesiveness, combat effectiveness, leadership and appeal" have been greatly enhanced. What are the aspects?

  Yun Xiong:In the past five years, the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core has comprehensively examined the new changes in the world, national conditions and party conditions, placed the management of the party in an important strategic position, paid attention to strategic planning of party building from the top-level design, and pushed the new great project of party building to a new realm. Constantly promoting theoretical innovation and strengthening ideological and theoretical armed forces, the whole party has constantly strengthened the "four self-confidences" and firmly established the "four consciousnesses." Serious inner-party political life, the political ecology has been purified, the political environment has been continuously optimized, and a lively political situation has been formed day by day. Vigorously promote system construction, introduce and revise nearly 80 inner-party laws and regulations, and strictly manage the party and officials, which are more and more rules-based and evidence-based.

  The vigorous promotion of party building has greatly enhanced the party’s cohesion, combat effectiveness, leadership and appeal. At present, the whole Party is more unified in thinking and pace. Party organizations at all levels and the vast number of party member and cadres resolutely safeguard the authority of the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core, consciously implement the various decision-making arrangements of the CPC Central Committee, and strive to achieve a firm response advocated by the CPC Central Committee, a firm implementation of the CPC Central Committee’s decisions, and a firm refusal to do so.

  Han Dongxue:In the new century and new stage, the profound changes of the world, the national conditions and the party’s situation and various risk tests have put forward new and higher requirements for the Communist Party of China (CPC). Managing the party is not only related to the future and destiny of the party, but also to the future and destiny of the country and the nation.

  In the past five years, from the party’s mass line education practice, the special education of "three strictness and three realities" and the study and education of "two studies and one doing", we have put forward clear requirements for ideological party building, and defined the rigid norms of institutional party building &hellip in the Regulations on Disciplinary Actions in the Communist Party of China (CPC), the Regulations on Inner-Party Supervision in the Communist Party of China (CPC) and Several Guidelines on Inner-Party Political Life under the New Situation; … A series of major arrangements and measures have always focused on maintaining the advanced nature and purity of the party and ensuring that the party is always at the forefront of the times.

  Remain true to our original aspiration and keep our mission firmly in mind. In the past five years, the Communist Party of China (CPC) adhered to the fundamental purpose of serving the people wholeheartedly, adhered to the people-centered development thought, vigorously guaranteed and improved people’s livelihood, resolutely won the tough battle against poverty, respected the people’s dominant position, and ensured that the people were the masters of their own affairs … … It is the insistence on doing everything for the people and relying on the people that greatly enhances the party’s cohesiveness, combat effectiveness, leadership and appeal.

  Xu Yaotong:In the past five years, the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core has taken the construction of work style as a breakthrough, unswervingly promoted the comprehensive and strict administration of the party, and made efforts to solve the outstanding problems that the people have most strongly reflected. The political life within the party has been updated, and the party’s ruling foundation and mass foundation have been further consolidated.

  Comprehensively strengthen Party building to the grassroots level, promote the formation of a good employment orientation and institutional environment, and further highlight the role of party member as a vanguard model and a fighting fortress for grassroots party organizations … … The outstanding achievements in managing the party and the party have fulfilled the solemn promise of "striking while the iron is hot" and practiced the solemn oath of "always wanting to be with the people and working together".

  Feng Cuiling:A political party, a political power, its future and destiny depend on people’s hearts.

  In the past five years, the party’s ideological construction, organizational construction, work style construction, anti-corruption construction and system construction have been comprehensively strengthened. The whole party has earnestly carried out the party’s mass line education and practice activities, the special education of "three strictness and three realities" and the study and education of "two studies and one doing"; The Party Central Committee fought against corruption with an iron fist, and the tigers and flies fought together, and the serious illness and minor illness were treated together, which won the party’s heart and people’s hearts. The introduction of eight regulations on improving work style and keeping close contact with the masses has purified the political ecological environment and greatly enhanced the image of the party in the hearts of ordinary people; With the continuous development of economic construction and the improvement of people’s living standards, the people are the direct beneficiaries; The international political influence has been continuously improved, and the national culture has gone global, which has enhanced the national pride and cultural self-confidence of the broad masses of the people; The construction of ecological civilization has greatly improved the living environment of ordinary people. In the past five years, the party style and political style have been one of the new ones, which has won the heartfelt praise of the people.

  3. The development of China needs a strong leadership core.

  Moderator: The communiqué of the Sixth Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee formally put forward "the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core". What does this mean for the development of the party’s cause?

  Xu Yaotong:The core position of the Supreme Leader General Secretary in the CPC Central Committee and the whole Party was formed in the practice of upholding and developing Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s new great struggle. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader has taken the lead in setting an example, firmly promoted the comprehensive and strict administration of the Party, adhered to the close combination of ideological party building and institutional party management, concentrated put in order’s party style, severely punished corruption, and purified the political ecology within the Party, which showed a new atmosphere in the political life within the Party and won the hearts and minds of the Party.

  We should unite more closely around the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core with a high degree of consciousness, more firmly safeguard the authority of the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core, and strive to maintain a high degree of consistency with the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core in ideological and political actions.

  Feng Cuiling:As the saying goes: the train runs fast, all by the headband. With his broad mind, deep friendship for the people and high responsibility for the Party, the Supreme Leader General Secretary led China, a huge train carrying more than 1.3 billion people of 56 ethnic groups, with new ideas, new ideas and new strategies. In the five years since the 18th CPC National Congress, he struggled forward and made great achievements in the country’s development. The leadership core of a country, a nation and a political party is very important. The Sixth Plenary Session of the Eighteenth Central Committee formally put forward the "CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core", which is the aspiration of the party’s heart and people’s hearts, the luck of the party and the blessing of the people. It is expected that after the 19th National Congress, the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core will lead us to continue to win great victories in Socialism with Chinese characteristics.

  Yun Xiong:Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader has personally led the Central Leading Group for Comprehensively Deepening Reform, the Central Leading Group for Finance and Economics and other leading groups, and further strengthened leadership in economic construction, political construction, cultural construction, social construction, ecological civilization construction, military and national defense construction. Giving full play to the leading core role of the Party in overall planning and coordinating all parties has become the fundamental guarantee for overcoming various risk challenges.

  The decision made at the Sixth Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee is of great and far-reaching significance for safeguarding the authority of the CPC Central Committee, maintaining the unity and centralized leadership of the Party, and ensuring new victories in the cause of Socialism with Chinese characteristics. This means that the party’s cause has a strong leadership core, winning a well-off society in an all-round way and realizing the Chinese dream have a fundamental guarantee, and the prosperous situation of the country’s long-term stability and people’s living and working in peace and contentment can be maintained for a long time.

  Han Dongxue:The life and strength of the party depend on the unity and unity of the party, and the unity and unity of the party first lies in safeguarding the authority of the CPC Central Committee. Today, the Communist Party of China (CPC) is a big party with more than 89 million party member and more than 4.5 million grass-roots party organizations. The larger the organization is, the more it needs to maintain the authority of the CPC Central Committee, and the more it needs a strong leadership core.

  Since the 18th National Congress, the strong leadership of the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core has become the most distinctive feature of China’s political life. The Sixth Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee defined the core position of the Supreme Leader General Secretary, which was a far-reaching strategic decision, formed in the process of leading and advancing great struggles, great undertakings and great projects, and was the choice of the whole party, the people and the history and practice.

  4. Deliver excellent answers to the Party and the people with solid work.

  Moderator: Why do party member cadres have to strengthen the "four consciousnesses" and strengthen the "four self-confidences"?

  Han Dongxue:Ideological Party Building is the Communist Party of China (CPC)’s fine tradition and the way to strengthen the soul. We should use the development practice of contemporary China and the latest achievements of Marxism in China to educate party member cadres, strengthen the "four self-confidences" and "four consciousnesses", take a clear-cut stand on politics, strictly abide by political discipline and rules, and maintain a high degree of consistency with the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core in ideological and political actions. Only in this way can we form a strong political leading force and maximize the will and strength of the whole party and the people throughout the country. Strengthening the "four self-confidences" and strengthening the "four consciousnesses" is a dynamic process. We should constantly improve our political stance and political consciousness and hand in excellent answers to the party and the people with down-to-earth work.

  Yun Xiong:Under the new historical conditions, strengthening the "four consciousnesses" is an important measure to strengthen party building, adhere to the centralized and unified leadership of the CPC Central Committee, enhance the unity and unity of the party, and form the centripetal force, cohesion and combat effectiveness of the whole party, which has rich ideological connotations.

  Only by strengthening the "four consciousnesses" can party member cadres consciously maintain a high degree of consistency with the CPC Central Committee in ideological and political actions, and make our party more United and strong, and always become the strong leadership core of the cause of Socialism with Chinese characteristics.

  Xu Yaotong:Flags lead the way, and roads determine fate. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core has held high the great banner of Socialism with Chinese characteristics, led the whole party and the people of all ethnic groups to overcome all difficulties and break the waves, and pushed the great cause of Socialism with Chinese characteristics into a new stage. In order to learn and understand the spirit of the important speech of the Supreme Leader on July 26th, we must further strengthen the "four consciousnesses", always strengthen the "four self-confidences", and earnestly enhance the implementation of political consciousness and action consciousness.

  Feng Cuiling:In the process of winning the Chinese dream of a well-off society in an all-round way and realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, it is urgent for party member cadres to keep a clear political mind, stand firm and correct in their political stance, and always adhere to their faith in Marxism, Socialism with Chinese characteristics and communism, and their absolute loyalty to the party and the people. By strengthening the "four consciousnesses" and strengthening the "four self-confidences", we can make our Party more United and strong, and always become the strong leadership core of Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s cause, and then lead the broad masses of people to build a well-off society in an all-round way, accelerate socialist modernization and realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

  5. Constant dripping wears away the stone

  Moderator: What is the practical and long-term significance of solidly promoting the normalization and institutionalization of "two studies and one doing" learning and education?

  Feng Cuiling:To promote the normalization and institutionalization of "two studies and one doing" learning and education is to require party organizations at all levels to always put ideological education in the first place, educate and guide the vast number of party member to learn, practice and realize, and constantly strengthen the "four consciousnesses"; It is required that all party member always adhere to the party constitution Party Rules to regulate their behavior, always arm their minds, guide practice and promote their work with the spirit of the series of important speeches by the Supreme Leader General Secretary, and ensure that leading cadres in party member are loyal and clean, and play a vanguard and exemplary role. Steadily promoting the normalization and institutionalization of the study and education of "two studies and one doing" is an effective way to continuously strengthen the ideological and political construction of the Party, which is of great and far-reaching significance to further unify the thinking of the whole Party, ensure that the whole Party is more closely United around the CPC Central Committee with the supreme leader as the core, and constantly create a new situation in the cause of Socialism with Chinese characteristics.

  Yun Xiong:Carrying out the study and education of "two studies and one doing" is an important practice to implement party constitution’s requirements on strengthening education management in party member and deepening inner-party education for all party member, an important measure to promote inner-party education from "key minority" to party member and from centralized education to regular education, and an important deployment to strengthen the party’s ideological and political construction.

  Steadily promoting the normalization and institutionalization of "two studies and one doing" study and education will, from a practical point of view, help to solve some problems such as party member’s vague ideals and beliefs, the party’s weak consciousness, vague concepts of purpose, listlessness and misconduct, and guide and push party member to be a qualified party member who stresses politics, belief, rules, discipline, morality, conduct, dedication and achievement. In the long run, it is of great and far-reaching significance to ensure that the whole party is more closely United around the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core, to make our party more cohesive, combat-effective, leading and appealing, and to constantly push forward the cause of Socialism with Chinese characteristics to open up a new prospect.

  Xu Yaotong:In my opinion, to promote the normalization and institutionalization of "two studies and one doing" study and education, the key is to deepen the expansion of "doing", better educate and guide the vast number of party member to be qualified in politics, discipline, morality and function according to the standard of "four stresses and four haves", and constantly improve their political consciousness, so as to truly become a qualified Communist party member. We must adhere to the combination of learning and doing, promote learning and doing, highlight problem orientation, and rectify problems. We should focus on finding and analyzing whether our ideals and beliefs are firm, whether we are loyal and honest to the Party, whether we have a clear-cut stand in front of major issues, and whether we are highly consistent with the CPC Central Committee on major issues by referring to party constitution’s party rules, series of speeches, and advanced models. We should focus on solving the problems such as the party’s weak consciousness, weak organizational concept, and insufficient role, so as to further establish party member’s vanguard image and reflect the power of faith with actions.

  Han Dongxue:To promote the normalization and institutionalization of "two studies and one doing" study and education, we must also expand the word "learning", thoroughly study party constitution’s party rules and regulations, and thoroughly study the spirit of the series of important speeches by the Supreme Leader General Secretary.

  Ideological consciousness is a prerequisite for "learning deeply and learning often" If there is no consciousness of "I save myself three times a day", how can there be the perseverance of "rushing without stopping, dripping water wears through"? In order to deepen and expand the word "learning", we must first have a clear understanding and full preparation for grasping the long-term and the long-term. Inner-party education cannot be accomplished in one battle. The pace of self-purification, self-improvement, self-innovation and self-improvement of our party has never ended.

  On the issue of rejuvenating and strengthening the Party, we must adhere to Do not forget your initiative mind, keep our mission in mind, strictly manage the Party and forge ahead. We should fully understand the great political significance, theoretical significance, practical significance and methodological significance of the series of important speeches by General Secretary of the Supreme Leader, take in-depth study of the spirit of the series of important speeches by General Secretary of the Supreme Leader as a compulsory course, insist on systematic study, in-depth study and follow-up study, so as to believe in learning, think while learning, and practice learning, effectively unify thoughts and actions with the spirit of speeches, and consciously guide new practice with developing Marxism, greeting the successfully convening of the 19th National Congress of the CPC with excellent achievements.

Bo Huang turned into a "rock" and Zhou Yuwenwu both beat Ceng Zhiwei.


Bo Huang’s crazy performance in the box of light.


Bo Huang and Ceng Zhiwei.


Eric Tsang

 

        Directed by Liu Zhenwei, Zheng Zhongji, Athena Chu, Liang Yongqi, Ada Choi, Bo Huang, Degang Guo and other 58 top Chinese comedy stars will join in the upcoming release on March 18th. Bo Huang and Ceng Zhiwei play Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang respectively in the film, and Bo Huang, as the new film winner, and Ceng Zhiwei, the eldest brother of Hong Kong film industry, have unexpected "hot" performances in the film.

Bo Huang’s version of "Rock" Zhou Yuwen is both civil and military.

        Yue Guang Bao Box is a film with Liu Zhenwei-style love and comedy elements as the main line. The film takes the road of "all-in-one suit" as the main line and shuttles through the time and space of various classic movies. Among them, Red Cliff is the highlight of the whole film, and most of the plots in the film take place in the time and space of Wu Yusen’s Red Cliff. Liu Zhenwei, who is humorous by nature, invited Bo Huang, the new winner of Golden Horse, to play Zhou Yu, but the Bo Huang version of Zhou Yu was 3 points more "shocking" and funny than that played by Tony Leung Chiu Wai.

        In Yue Guang Bao Box, Bo Huang’s version of Zhou Yu not only fought fiercely with Zhuge Liang played by Ceng Zhiwei, but also fought at the altar of borrowing the east wind, changing the image of Tony Leung Chiu Wai’s version of Zhou Yu’s elegance. However, the two were not completely antagonistic in the film. In order to show that Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang appreciate each other were fighting against Cao Cao, Director Liu Zhenwei specially arranged for them to play a piece of fiddle together, but they finally turned a piece of "Mountain Flowing Water" into a live version of the rock chorus, which shocked the audience all over the place.

Bo Huang beat up Ceng Zhiwei on the set.

        Although the main line of Yue Guang Bao Box is the chase-and-run love between Zheng Zhongji and Sun Li, the scene of the battle at Chibi is also very heavy. The director not only spends a lot of energy to reproduce all the war scenes in Battle of Red Cliffs, but also reinterprets the war with his own methods. Among them, "borrowing from the east wind" is the highlight of the scene, but in this scene, Bo Huang actually fights with the old-timer Ceng Zhiwei, and Ceng Zhiwei does not show weakness at the scene and grabs bananas as weapons to fight back.

        It turned out that under Liu Zhenwei’s "provocation", in the scene of borrowing the east wind, Zhou Yu, played by Bo Huang, defied Zhuge Liang, played by Ceng Zhiwei, and said, "I found out how you borrowed everything, and the arrow was borrowed. Two days ago, you encouraged your master to borrow Jingzhou, and now you are borrowing the east wind. Really, alas ~ ~", Ceng Zhiwei, who was angry, grabbed the banana on the altar and tore it with Bo Huang.

        Funnily enough, according to the staff, director Liu Zhenwei paid special attention to this play, and not only specifically asked Bo Huang to really hit hard, but also repeatedly NG for more than ten times before letting Ceng Zhiwei go. I don’t know if the two had any historical grievances, but it is unclear whether Bo Huang, who had the opportunity to punch the doyen for the first time, was also in a dark mood. The film will be released globally simultaneously on March 18th.

Movie network point of view:Bo Huang’s madness vs. Ceng Zhiwei, "The Box of Lights" has many stars and many jokes, but the director should not forget that fans like "A Chinese Odyssey" not only because it is funny.

Key data in the first quarter were released. What do you think of the current economic situation?

  Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, April 18th Question: The key data of the first quarter was released. What do you think of the current economic situation?

  Xinhua News Agency "Xinhua Viewpoint" reporter

  In 2023, the first quarterly report of China’s economy was released on the 18th: the gross domestic product (GDP) was 28,499.7 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 4.5%.

  On April 18th, the State Council Press Office held a press conference in Beijing. Fu Linghui, spokesperson of the National Bureau of Statistics and director of the National Economic Statistics Department, introduced the operation of the national economy in the first quarter of 2023 and answered questions from reporters. Xinhua News Agency reporter Cai Yang photo

  Facing the severe and complicated international environment and arduous domestic reform, development and stability tasks, China’s economy has made a good start. What do you think of this report card? The "Xinhua Viewpoint" reporter combed the key data.

  GDP increased by 4.5% year-on-year: the economy stabilized and rebounded.

  In the first quarter, GDP increased by 4.5% year-on-year, and the growth rate was 1.6 percentage points higher than that in the fourth quarter of last year; The chain increased by 2.2%.

  "With the rapid and smooth transition of epidemic prevention and control, various policies and measures to stabilize growth, employment and prices have been put forward, positive factors have accumulated and the national economy has stabilized and rebounded." Fu Linghui, spokesman of the National Bureau of Statistics, said.

  Since the beginning of this year, the World Bank and other international organizations have raised the economic growth forecast of China. "Under the current situation that the overall recovery of the world economy is weak, China’s economy has shown a positive momentum and injected beneficial increments into global growth." World Bank President Malpas said.

  Fu Linghui said that considering the low base affected by the epidemic in the second quarter of last year, the economic growth rate in the second quarter of this year may be significantly faster than that in the first quarter; With the increase of the base, the growth rate will fall back in the third and fourth quarters. On the whole, however, the endogenous driving force of China’s economic growth is gradually enhanced, and the macro-policies are effective, and the economic operation is expected to improve as a whole.

  Total consumption exceeds 11 trillion yuan: the overall recovery is improving.

  In the first quarter, the total retail sales of consumer goods in China was 11,492.2 billion yuan, up 5.8% year-on-year, down 2.7% in the fourth quarter of last year; The contribution rate of final consumption expenditure to economic growth reached 66.6%.

  With the gradual release of residents’ consumption demand, the growth of upgrading consumption has accelerated, and the consumption of basic life has continued to grow. In the first quarter, the retail sales of goods increased by 4.9% year-on-year, and decreased by 1.7% in the fourth quarter of last year.

  "The overall consumption has shown a good recovery trend." Fu Linghui said that with the continuous efforts of the consumption promotion policy, the market sales have rebounded significantly, especially the service consumption has improved significantly, and the consumption has significantly enhanced the economic growth.

  Yang Guangpu, an associate researcher at the State Council Development Research Center, said that at present, efforts should still be made to enhance residents’ confidence and ability in consumption, do everything possible to increase residents’ income, so that people can spend more confidently, and actively increase quality supply, effectively combine consumption expansion with supply-side structural reform, and continuously release consumption potential.

  Fixed assets investment increased by 5.1% year-on-year: the steady growth of investment is expected to continue.

  In the first quarter, the national investment in fixed assets increased by 5.1% year-on-year, which was the same as that of the previous year.

  Fu Linghui said that since the beginning of this year, China has insisted on expanding domestic demand, actively played the key role of investment in optimizing the supply structure, increased investment in key areas and key links, and expanded investment in people’s livelihood, effectively safeguarding and improving people’s lives. The steady growth of investment has effectively enhanced the development potential.

  It is worth noting that investment in high-tech industries grew rapidly in the first quarter, with a year-on-year increase of 16%. "The rapid development of high-tech industries is conducive to further enhancing the resilience of China’s industrial chain supply chain, and is conducive to continuously improving China’s industrial added value and its strength in global industrial competition." Xu Zhaoyuan, deputy director of the Industrial Economics Research Department of the State Council Development Research Center, said.

  Yang Guangpu said that with the sustained economic recovery, the technological transformation, transformation and upgrading of traditional industries are expected to accelerate, digital transformation and green and low-carbon transformation continue to advance, and with the implementation of various support policies, investment is expected to maintain steady growth.

  Foreign trade increased by 4.8% year-on-year: export growth was higher than expected.

  In the first quarter, the total import and export value of China’s goods trade was 9.89 trillion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 4.8%. In March, the total import and export value was 3.71 trillion yuan, up 15.5% year-on-year, of which exports increased by 23.4% year-on-year and imports increased by 6.1%.

  Lu Daliang, director of the Statistics and Analysis Department of the General Administration of Customs, said that since the beginning of this year, China’s economic operation has stabilized and rebounded, production and demand have gradually improved, and foreign trade imports and exports have stabilized significantly. "In the first quarter, China’s foreign trade import and export showed strong resilience, and the start was stable and good, laying the foundation for achieving stable and improved foreign trade throughout the year."

  Zhuang Rui, a professor at university of international business and economics, said that the rapid export growth is mainly reflected in the bright export of electromechanical and high-tech products represented by new energy vehicles, as well as the improvement of export growth to countries along the Belt and Road Initiative and countries with regional comprehensive economic partnership agreements (RCEP) and other trading partners. In addition, due to the narrowing of the year-on-year increase in international commodity prices, the growth rate of imports is relatively low.

  CPI rose by 1.3% year-on-year: prices remained stable.

  In the first quarter, the national consumer price index (CPI) rose by 1.3% year-on-year, maintaining a moderate increase, and domestic prices continued to run smoothly.

  Stabilizing prices is an important task for doing a good job in economic work this year. Fu Linghui said that the CPI increase continued to fall, mainly affected by some stage factors: after the Spring Festival, the market demand fell, the weather turned warmer, the listing of fresh vegetables increased more, and the prices of some foods fell; The supply of live pigs is sufficient and the price of pork has declined; The international energy market, especially the crude oil market, has generally declined, which has led to lower domestic energy prices and so on.

  Although the increase of CPI has declined, the market supply and demand have remained basically stable. In the first quarter, the core CPI excluding food and energy prices rose by 0.8% year-on-year, which was the same as that in January and February.

  "Looking forward to the whole year, China’s industrial and agricultural products and services are well supplied, production and marketing are smoothly connected, the market order is good, and the overall economic recovery trend will gradually appear in prices. It is expected that the overall price level will generally operate in a reasonable range." Guo Liyan, director of the Comprehensive Situation Research Office of China Macroeconomic Research Institute, said.

  PPI decreased by 1.6% year-on-year: it is expected to gradually return to a reasonable level.

  In the first quarter, the national producer price index (PPI) decreased by 1.6% year-on-year, of which the price of means of production decreased by 2.3%.

  Fu Linghui said that since the beginning of this year, world economic growth has slowed down, market demand has weakened, supply bottlenecks have eased, and commodity prices have fallen, which has driven down the prices of domestic oil, nonferrous metals and other related industries. In addition, the high base in the same period last year has led to a decline in PPI. Expanded.

  Judging from the ring comparison, the PPI is basically stable. In January, PPI decreased by 0.4% month-on-month, while in February and March, it was flat.

  Fu Linghui said that from the next stage, domestic demand generally tends to pick up, which has a certain pull-up effect on PPI, but the import transmission of international commodity prices still exists, and with the high base in the same period last year, PPI may be in a downward range in the short term. However, with the recovery of domestic economy, cardinal utility will gradually decline, and PPI will gradually return to a reasonable level.

  The national industrial added value increased by 3% year-on-year: achieving steady growth.

  In the first quarter, the added value of industrial enterprises above designated size increased by 3% year-on-year, and the growth rate was 0.3 percentage points faster than that in the fourth quarter of last year.

  From the perspective of industry, among the 41 major industries in the first quarter, 23 industries maintained growth year-on-year, with a growth rate of over 50%. Compared with the fourth quarter of last year, the growth rate of added value of 20 industries rebounded.

  Production of small and micro enterprises has improved. In the first quarter, the added value of small and micro enterprises above designated size increased by 3.1% year on year. According to the questionnaire survey, the prosperity index of small and micro-industrial enterprises under the regulations increased by 1.7 percentage points over the fourth quarter of last year, and the proportion of enterprises with good production and operation conditions increased by 1.2 percentage points.

  "In the first quarter, the steady growth policy continued to be effective, the market demand picked up, the supply chain of the industrial chain accelerated to recover, and industrial production showed positive changes, but there was uncertainty in the growth of external demand, and the prices of industrial products were still falling." Fu Linghui said that in the next stage, it is necessary to deepen the structural reform of the supply side, vigorously transform and upgrade traditional industries, cultivate and expand emerging industries, and promote the healthy development of industries.

  The average unemployment rate in national urban surveys is 5.5%: the employment situation has improved.

  In the first quarter, the national urban survey unemployment rate averaged 5.5%, down 0.1 percentage point from the fourth quarter of last year. Among them, the urban survey unemployment rate in March was 5.3%, down 0.3 percentage points from February.

  In March, the unemployment rate of the labor force aged 25 to 59 was 4.3%, down 0.5 percentage points from the previous month; The unemployment rate of migrant agricultural registered labor decreased by 0.7 percentage points from last month … … The unemployment rate of the main employment groups has dropped significantly, and the employment of migrant workers has accelerated.

  Stabilizing business entities is the key to stabilizing employment. The Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security and other three departments have issued a notice at the end of March, which will continue to implement the policy of reducing unemployment and industrial injury insurance rates until the end of 2024. It is estimated that the average annual burden reduction this year and next will be about 180 billion yuan, and all kinds of business entities including small and medium-sized enterprises will generally benefit.

  Fu Linghui said that with the economic recovery and the expansion of employment demand, the employment situation is expected to continue to improve. However, in view of the structural contradiction of employment, we should continue to increase employment assistance for young people, especially college graduates, accelerate the pace of industrial upgrading, and provide more high-quality jobs.

From Internet Cafe to Internet Cafe

In June this year, Ziwudu Internet Cafe, located next to Qingdao University of Science and Technology in Shandong Province, opened its doors on the first day after its transformation and upgrading into an Internet Cafe. On the opening day, the Internet users were full, which made Wang Xiaodong, the owner of the Internet Cafe, happy.

Wang Xiaodong told reporters that he has been engaged in the Internet cafe industry for more than ten years. In the past, the illegal operation of Internet cafes was serious, security accidents were frequent, and the overall image of the industry was bad. "Two years ago, the Laoshan District Government of Qingdao issued relevant policies to promote the transformation and upgrading of the Internet service industry." Wang Xiaodong recalled that in 2014, the district government introduced two chain Internet cafes, Shanghai Wangyu Network and Beijing Bayou Network. Their spacious and clean environment, the service function of Internet cafes and coffee bars, and the standardized, branded and professional operation mode brought a lot of impact to local Internet cafes.

"Dark and noisy, malodorous, is people’s main impression of Internet cafes, so we must first guide Internet cafes to change the environment. For the first time, the regulatory authorities regard brightness and neatness as a requirement for the whole industry, and encourage them to pay attention to the upgrading of the online environment when preparing for renovation, so as to make it a bright, elegant and open public cultural place. " Wang Shaomei, director of the Cultural Press and Publication Bureau of Laoshan District, said that through active guidance and nearly two years of practice, the online service industry in Laoshan District has presented a new scene.

"In addition to improving the environment, the regulatory authorities also encourage Internet cafes to take advantage of their advantages and cooperate with various education and training institutions and other service units to carry out community education and training, online purchasing, remote consultation and other services." Wang Shaomei said that the regulatory authorities and Internet cafes explore special operations together, and some organize e-sports, book corners and chess competitions. Some open leisure stations, providing online coffee, leisure snacks, reading books and newspapers, etc., expanding consumer groups and enriching cultural consumption.

"I prefer this internet cafe model. Now I have time to sit inside with my friends for a while, and the environment is bright." Feng Li, a college student who often spends money in Ziwu, said.

In the first half of 2016, about 80 Internet service enterprises in Laoshan District were transformed and upgraded in the whole industry. Internet service places began to be combined with online competition, and virtual reality equipment and manufacturers gradually entered the Internet service places, seeking win-win cooperation and becoming a new driving force for the development of the industry.

Business changes of entertainment tycoon Qin brothers: second venture






Tan Hui


  "Everyone mentioned Tan Hui during the start-up, but if you want to be a century-old shop, I hope everyone will only mention Xingmei." As the younger brother of Tan Hui, Qin Hong, the boss of Stellar Group, said so when interviewed by this reporter.


  On July 20th, Stellar International announced that SMIIC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Stellar International, was going to spend HK$ 55 million to win 25 cinemas from Tan Hui, and had signed a letter of intent.


       According to the plan, Stellar Group will abandon the coexistence of several businesses in the past and focus on the film industry.


  And this strategic evolution, the Qin brothers have experienced more than 10 years of struggle.


  The legendary big brother


  Tan Hui seems to be an inextricable link, whether it is the Xingmei Department or the lace-colored "Heaven and Earth".


  According to the industrial and commercial registration data, Beijing Changtai Song and Dance Hall Co., Ltd., the predecessor of "Heaven and Earth", was established in 1993. In May 1997, Changtai Song and Dance Hall was approved by the State Trademark Office to obtain the registered trademarks of "PASSION" and "Heaven and Earth" in both Chinese and English. In September, 1999, the State Trademark Office approved the change of the registrant of the registered trademark to Beijing Changqingtai Catering and Entertainment Co., Ltd. funded by Tan Hui.


  It was in 1999 that Tan Hui took the first step to become a legend. He placed 75% of the shares of "Heaven and Earth" in his Beijing Sino-foreign joint venture Changqingtai Catering and Entertainment Company, with a registered industrial and commercial investment of 1.95 million US dollars. After the renovation, the "Heaven on Earth" changed from an old nightclub to a KTV-style business structure, and the consumption standard also soared.


  According to people familiar with the matter, when the "Heaven and Earth" was light, the daily water recorded reached more than 300,000. It is estimated that the annual profit of "Heaven on Earth" is at least 20-30 million yuan.


  Such a stable cash flow gave birth to Tan Hui’s "Zhuojing Department", and at the same time, it also completed Tan Hui’s capital accumulation from "stubborn master" to capital player.


  In addition, the high-end communication field of "Heaven and Earth" has brought a large number of powerful people to Tan Hui. In the case of Zhang Enzhao, the former president of China Construction Bank, the prosecution’s indictment disclosed such details: In May 2002, Zhang Enzhao accepted $10,000 from Tan Hui for the first time in the "Heaven and Earth" parking lot, and after that, he went through various experiences and got a loan of 650 million yuan. The acquaintance with Li Peiying, chairman of the Capital Airport, is exactly the same.


  In the face of the media, the Qin brothers did not deny that they once owned "heaven and earth", but stressed that "they were transferred out five years ago".


  However, it was the creation of "heaven and earth" five years ago that made Tan Hui, the legendary big shot, succeed in his future fate.


  In contrast, although Tan Hui’s "business childhood" is not well known by the outside world, it has some primitive accumulated strength.


  In August, 1997, Tan Hui cooperated with his brother Qin Hong to establish Chongqing Changfeng Communication, invested in 800Z mobile communication (the predecessor of CDMA), and began to enter the telecommunications industry.


  After Tan Hui controlled "Heaven and Earth" for one year, with the annual profit of 20-30 million yuan, in 2000, it invested in Chongqing Changfeng Communication (000892.SZ), the first capital platform in China. At the same time, it has acquired an optical fiber backbone network covering the whole country, and established a broadband metropolitan area network covering the whole province in Sichuan, Chongqing, Hubei and Jiangsu. A broadband network platform covering the whole network and accessing four provinces was formed.


  After that, in 2001, the telecommunications map of Tan Hui took shape after seven years of business. In order to build the content platform of Changfeng Communication, connect with the network terminal users of Changfeng Communication, and establish the industrial model of "Telecom+Media+Technology", Zhuojing Investment and Changfeng Communication jointly established Xingmei Media Group Co., Ltd. The "Xingmei Department" was born.

       ride on a horse to enclose


  With money and "capital strength" in 2002, Tan Hui’s business expansion was extremely exciting.


  In October of that year, Tan Hui served as the chairman of Changfeng Communication, and began to invest in large-scale acquisition of content companies and media assets. Its subsidiaries include more than a dozen companies including Beijing Huaxia Culture Communication Company, China Film Stellar Cinema Co., Ltd., Feiteng Film and Television Base, Stellar Film and Television Culture Co., Ltd., Stellar Digital Media Co., Ltd., Stellar Shanghai Zhonglu Culture Co., Ltd. and Instek Video Technology Co., Ltd. in China Electric Film Archive.


 The industrial model of "telecommunications+media+technology" has made Stellar Group a dark horse in the industry for a while, and its M&A speed and business model have attracted attention.


  In 2003, Tan Hui launched its capital market. In order to integrate overseas entertainment content and lay out Hong Kong’s capital platform, it acquired Oriental Charm (00198.HK, later renamed as "Stellar International"), Jingqi Publishing Group (8010.HK, later renamed as "Stellar Publishing") and mobile advertising (8036.HK) in.


  As a result, the Qin brothers controlled four listed companies, and an industrial structure with capital as the leader, new media as the core and content as the support was formed.


  However, the expansion of the Qin brothers has not stopped. In 2003, through the acquisition and publication of the banner, it controlled Cheng Bao, the oldest Chinese newspaper in Hong Kong. At the same time, it acquired Sunshine Satellite TV and established a content production and broadcasting platform. In July of that year, the first digital entertainment channel in China was launched in cooperation with Fujian Cable TV Network. In September, it signed a strategic agreement with China Telecom and became one of the first 13 strategic partners of China Telecom’s "Connected Star".


  In 2004, relying on Stellar International (00198.HK), Tan Hui acquired the chain business of Internet cafes in Sichuan, and used the group resources to acquire Hunan Hunan Computer (SZ000748) to lay out the digital terminal equipment industry.


  It has been impossible to verify the views of the Qin brothers on Xingmei Group at that time. However, when Qin Hong reviewed the original situation of Stellar Group to our reporter, he said, "The stall is too big, which puts great pressure on management, manpower and capital."


  In fact, around 2004, due to the rapid expansion, Stellar Group has owned 17 companies of various types. At the same time, it has formed the capital platforms of four or five listed companies with Zhuojing Capital as the investment link, and the scale of fixed assets has reached nearly 2 billion yuan.


  However, Stellar Group’s cash flow is facing torture. Qin Hong clearly remembers that "the debt ratio of the group was very high at that time". And this pointed to the pain of Xingmei Group’s expansion at that time.


  Not surprisingly, Tan Hui still defined 2005 as the expansion year in the brief history of his enterprise.


  At that time, Tan Hui bought Great Wall Broadband, with the intention of connecting the huge user base of Great Wall Broadband with Xingmei content industry and establishing an aircraft carrier giant of telecommunications media. When negotiating with CITIC Group and Great Wall Group (300089, Share Bar), the shareholders of Great Wall Broadband, the case of Zhang Enzhao, the president of China Construction Bank, involved Tan Hui.


  Although it was later unscathed, Stellar Group and its related subsidiaries were affected one after another. In 2005, Stellar began to divest non-performing assets on a large scale, repay bank debts, sell Sunshine TV and reorganize Changfeng Communication.


  Also in 2005, Tan Hui went through the relevant legal procedures and officially withdrew from "Heaven and Earth".


  It is impossible to find out from the hidden known information whether quitting the "Tianshan Human World" helped Tan Hui. However, perhaps because of his sensitivity, in the case of Li Peiying, the chairman of the Capital Airport in 2009, he turned the tables again.






Qin hong


       Difficult reorganization


  However, the impact of such twists and turns on this entertainment tycoon is obvious.


  Qin Hong recalled, "trapped by the negative influence at that time, from 2005 to 2009, we have been in the process of restructuring."


  In addition to retiring from Changfeng Communication, Sunshine Satellite TV and "Heaven and Earth" in 2005, in 2009, Tan Hui withdrew from Xingmei Union and was taken over by Du Huikai, the son-in-law of Zheng Yutong, Chairman of New World (600628, Share Bar) Group. In 2009, Tan Hui signed an agreement with Yang Jiacheng to withdraw from Chengbao.


       To be exact, Stellar Group has spun off almost all industries except the film industry.


  In fact, Tan Hui has handed over the main business of Stellar Group to Qin Hong. Qin Hong is now the chairman of Stellar Group. At the same time, in March this year, Tan Hui increased his shareholding in Stellar International to 64.23% as a major shareholder. Almost at the same time, Wang Kui-cheng gave the position of chairman of Stellar International Board of Directors to Qin Hong.


  When describing the whole structure of Stellar Group, Qin Hong said, "Listed companies are the platform for us to operate the whole strategy. Therefore, first of all, after four years of difficult resumption of trading, it was finally realized in late 2009."


  Regarding focusing on the film industry, Qin Hong explained to our reporter, "From a realistic perspective, our Stellar Media was established for digital media, and then it entered the traditional media. By 2005, when we sorted out the company’s assets, we felt that the film sector was relatively complete. At that time, as a pioneer, Stellar Media has always been the first and second cinema in China and has been in this position. "


  According to relevant information, in 2009, the box office market of the whole movie reached 6.3 billion yuan, and from the overall income of the whole industry, according to the industry practice of 1:3, all movie-related market plates reached 20 billion yuan.


  In Qin Hong’s view, the film industry in the cultural industry, in terms of economic benefits, is the last large undeveloped industry that can be seen at present. The data shows that the box office of the film industry keeps growing by 30% every year.

  start a new undertaking


  "No matter how the outside world understands it, I prefer to regard this transformation of Stellar Group as a second venture." Qin Hong said, "And this idea of transforming the film industry is also the result of my discussion with Tan Hui."


  Qin Hong’s film industry includes film production, cinema distribution, cinema construction and management, and film and television base development.


  In January, 2010, Tan Hui injected capital into Stellar International with the gesture of "returning the carbine". According to the announcement, the company issued a convertible note with a principal amount of HK$ 100 million to its major shareholder, Tan Hui, and the net proceeds of HK$ 99 million were used as funds for possible future investments and general working capital.


  As a result, Tan Hui and Smil (Strategic Media International, a major shareholder affiliated company) hold 59.41% of the company’s equity. If all convertible notes are converted, the total shareholding will increase to 64.23%.


  At the same time, Stellar Group controlled by the Qin brothers injected high-quality assets into Stellar International. At the end of June, Stellar International announced that Stellar International would acquire its Admiral Team at a cost of about HK$ 1.2 billion, including issuing HK$ 480 million convertible notes and about 2.44 billion shares to Tan Hui. The company already owns two companies, GDL and SMIIC, which hold relevant shares in the operating companies of 12 cinemas in China.


  In the cinema map of Stellar Group, Qin Hong said, "We have eight cinemas in Beijing next July, and we have three in Shanghai. We actually want to form four domestic cinema centers, the northeast and north China with Beijing as the leader, the east China with Shanghai as the leader, the south China with Guangzhou and Shenzhen as the leader, and the southwest center. "
