The ancient makeup was the most complicated and gorgeous in the Tang Dynasty, which was related to the great cultural integration and women’s self-confidence.

When The Longest Day In Chang’an was popular, the flower buds of women in the Tang Dynasty were impressive. Qingpingle, which followed closely, was also regarded as a highly restored history because it presented the makeup of Pearl in the Song Dynasty.
The development of makeup research in recent years is behind the film and television drama’s efforts to restore the face of ancient life from a large number of "shocking people" in the past. Chen Shiyu, the service director of film and television dramas such as Qingpingle, is a scholar of costume history and arts and crafts. He studied under Mr. Sun Ji in Beijing Institute of Fashion Technology and is also a consultant on the history and service of CCTV’s National Treasure program. Li Ya, a professor in the Department of Stage Art of Shanghai Theatre Academy, has also written works such as History of Ancient Jewelry in China, Streaming Earrings: Earrings in China in Past Dynasties, and Formula of Ancient Makeup in China.
The Beauty of China’s Makeup is a book co-written by Li Ya and Chen Shiyu, which not only presents a complete picture of China’s makeup from the Zhou Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, but also outlines the social ideological style and aesthetic changes behind it. "The power of power, the restraint of morality, the different tastes of elite culture and market culture have all left a deep mark on women’s makeup in different times." Zhu Liangzhi, a professor of philosophy at Peking University, pointed out in the preface.
"After studying makeup for thousands of years, it is found that human nature is unchanged in ancient and modern times. Pursuing beauty and fashion trends is the commonality of people in all ages, but the forms of expression are different, and some times will be more obvious and more tolerant." Li Ya said.
What is "fish flattery"?
"Makeup as a research topic is very rare." Since studying for a master’s degree in 1999, Li Ya has been deeply involved in the field of cosmetic culture research. At first, I chose to study this direction simply because few people paid attention to it. In 1981, after the publication of Shen Congwen’s "Research on Ancient Chinese Costume", ancient costume became a research hotspot, but few people paid attention to the makeup that appeared in ancient murals and poems together with costume.
After Li Ya really entered the field of decoration research, she found it very difficult. First of all, there are no first-hand cultural relics, and makeup must be attached to the human body, and once the human body rots, makeup will be gone. Therefore, compared with other material and cultural studies, makeup lacks first-hand material information and can only be studied through other channels. Auxiliary research approaches include literature scattered in history books, note novels, poems and songs, as well as image research including ancient figure painting and figure sculpture.
However, whether recorded in words or portraits, either "only know its name but not its shape" or "only know its shape but not its name". In addition, after thousands of years of polishing, many important information has faded, peeled off or lost. As a researcher, we need to collect all the information, and then find a reasonable correspondence between "shape" and "name" in order to restore the historical face of makeup to the greatest extent.
Li Ya and Chen Shiyu have restored a popular makeup "Fish Mei Zi" that appeared in the Song Dynasty. There is only a brief record of this kind of makeup in the History of Song Dynasty, but at first they were completely confused about what it meant to be "a bone in the gills". Later, when I was studying the female crown in the Song Dynasty, I happened to find that there was a kind of "Zhuguan" at that time, which was made of a hard fish stone taken out from the head of herring. After polishing, polishing and oil immersion, it became a translucent gem like agate, which was used as a crown decoration. Only then did they understand that the so-called "Fish Mei Zi" was made by sticking this gem on black paper, thus solving this "small historical puzzle".
The Beauty of China’s Makeup also shows 29 sets of restoration pictures of real makeup. When the ancient makeup appeared on modern people’s faces, the historical gap was broken. In recent two or three years, Li Ya has devoted a lot of energy to the restoration of ancient makeup after her research. She said that it was a practice after she completed the correspondence between "shape" and "name". "This is an uncontrollable desire, and I really want to know what these ancient portraits and sculptures are like when they are restored by real people."
However, the transformation from abstract words to concrete images requires secondary creation, which inevitably has subjective elements. Every scholar will do something based on his own research, which is also a great test for their textual research ability and aesthetic grasp ability. "It is necessary to ensure that the restored ancient makeup conforms to the temperament of that era at first glance."
Women’s status behind makeup
For ancient make-up, a sentence in the Warring States Policy is very classic, "A scholar dies for a confidant, and a woman looks for herself." In fact, Li Ya found that ancient women’s makeup was not as simple as women pleasing people.
The Han Dynasty was the formative period of the ancient aesthetic standards of makeup, and from then on, it laid the characteristics of elegance. At the same time, Confucianism also established the absolute dependence of women on men, and put forward the theory of "three cardinal guides and five permanents" and "respecting yang and belittling yin". Especially the Women’s Commandments written by Ban Zhao in the Eastern Han Dynasty emphasized women’s submission, inferiority and obedience, and "standardized" women in China for more than two thousand years. These thoughts of the times have influenced women’s makeup. Since the Han Dynasty, the makeup style has gradually become humble and feminine, and even some morbid makeup has begun to appear.
Sun Shou was the wife of Liang Ji, a consort and powerful minister in the Eastern Han Dynasty. The Book of the Later Han Dynasty recorded that she was "beautiful in color and good in appearance" and liked to "frown and make up". The so-called "frown" is similar to a figure-of-eight eyebrow, which hangs down, and "crow makeup" means that there seem to be two tears hanging under the eyes. Sun Shou walks "hunched", that is, hunched over, looking ill, and laughing is a "decayed tooth smile" with bulging cheeks like toothache. History books say that this kind of makeup is "charming", but it once became the most popular fashion makeup in Beijing. "’Women are weak and beautiful’ is the most important point in Women’s Commandments, which emphasizes that women should show weakness, not only because they are soft and docile inside, but also because they are weak and weak in appearance, which is why morbid makeup is popular." Li Ya explained.
However, when the status of women in the whole society begins to rise, traditional aesthetics will also be broken. The makeup in the Tang Dynasty is the most complicated and gorgeous in history, and the makeup carrier is also very rich. Especially during the reign of Wu Zetian, the gorgeous makeup reached its peak. A number of painted figurines of the Tang Dynasty in the era of Wu Zetian were unearthed in Astana, Xinjiang. The face of the buried female figurines was swept by thick eyebrows, and the area of rouge blush was extended from under the eyebrows to the side of the face. In addition to the simple fan-shaped shape, the flower-shaped shape on the forehead was also smudged with complex patterns such as flowers, rolling grass and cirrus clouds. The oblique red on both sides of the cheek is not a simple blush, but a complex pattern. Ordinary maids in remote areas are all like this, which shows how charming the makeup of upper-class women in Chang’ an and Luoyang was at that time.
After Wu Zetian abdicated, Princess Taiping and Empress Wei were still active in the power center, and the gorgeous makeup style of Wu Zhou continued until the early years of Emperor Xuanzong’s succession. After the appearance of Yang Guifei, the popular fashion in the Tang Dynasty changed into plump beauty, loose clothes and big red makeup, and finally became an impressive symbol of "prosperous Tang Dynasty". "So the development of makeup is inextricably linked with the strength and self-confidence of women."
Makeup and troubled times
From the makeup, we can also see some changes in social thought. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Great Plague, coupled with years of war, caused a large number of deaths. In the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the idea of "reincarnation, karma" spread with Buddhism, and Buddhism was also designated as the state religion in the Northern Wei and Southern Liang Dynasties. In addition to literature, music, sculpture and other fields, Buddhism also influenced the makeup at that time, and yellow eyebrow ink makeup began to appear. When Princess Shouyang of Emperor Wu of the Southern Song Dynasty got married, she painted "eight-character palace eyebrows holding yellow forehead", that is, the eyebrows were eight-character, and yellow makeup powder was painted on her forehead, which was called "yellow forehead". This is because the Buddha is the face of the golden Buddha. With the spread of Buddhism to the east, all kinds of forehead yellow, flower yellow and Buddha makeup began to be popular, all of which were painted yellow on women’s faces.
After the Anshi Rebellion, the Tang Dynasty went into decline. In the mid-Tang dynasty, there was a trend of pursuing weird and grotesque makeup, and Bai Juyi also wrote a special poem "Contemporary Makeup". According to the poem, it was popular for women to draw eight-character eyebrows at that time, and their lips were painted black without lipstick, and their faces were painted with ochre powder instead of vermilion and rouge. The makeup with ochre powder on the face is a kind of makeup from Xizang, which came with the Tibetan army invading Chang ‘an twice after the Anshi Rebellion. The ultraviolet radiation on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is very severe, and it is easy for local people to get high original red on their faces, so they will use yak milk to refine a brown whey and apply it to their faces as a mask, which has formed an ochre makeup effect and has been popular in Chang ‘an. Bai Juyi believes that this "dark face" makeup does not conform to the traditional makeup aesthetics of the Han nationality, and it looks "like a sad cry" and is a "phase of troubled times".
"The general trend of the world, the peak will decline, and the full moon will lose. All history can’t escape this trend, and the history of makeup is no exception. After the explosive development in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, and then to the peak of the Tang Dynasty, and finally to the late Tang Dynasty, it was already in a state of profusion and extravagance. In the Song Dynasty, makeup suddenly took a 180-degree turn, from rich and colorful to simple and simple. Moreover, after the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, little has changed. " Chen Shiyu wrote in China’s Beauty of Makeup.

(VI) Main performance drivers

1. Industry factors

The communication technology service industry in which the company is located ultimately provides services for communication operators, which is closely related to the development of the communication industry. The development trend of communication technology service industry is related to the pace of communication technology update, the procurement policy of communication operators, the network demand of end customers, the expenditure scale of communication operators, the market competition in this industry, the application of new technologies and other factors. The communication technology service industry is deeply influenced by the downstream communication industry, especially by the continuous expenditure of communication operators. In recent years, China’s mobile communication technology has been upgraded rapidly, and the difficulty of communication network operation and maintenance has risen sharply, which has brought broad market space to the industry. In November 2021, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued the "14th Five-Year Plan for the Development of Information and Communication Industry", which stated that by 2025, the number of 5G base stations per 10,000 people would reach 26. This means that by 2025, the number of 5G base stations in China will be nearly 3.67 million.

With the continuous increase in the construction of 5G, the market opportunities for industrial applications in the smart field brought about by the construction of 5G, industrial Internet and big data are also constantly improving. The government work report of the two sessions in 2024 pointed out that since 2023, relying on innovation to lead industrial upgrading and enhance the new kinetic energy of urban and rural regional development. The digital economy has accelerated, and the penetration rate of 5G users has exceeded 50%. In the future, we will further promote the innovative development of the digital economy.

(II) Risks that the company may face and countermeasures

1, the market competition risk

The company is a leading national and comprehensive communication technology service enterprise. In recent years, China’s communication technology service industry has formed a diversified and market-oriented competition pattern, with a large number of enterprises, including large state-owned enterprises born out of operators, service teams formed by communication equipment manufacturers, and numerous third-party private communication technology service enterprises. In recent years, with the implementation of the "centralized procurement" policy of communication operators and the improvement of service quality, medium and large communication technology service enterprises have continuously seized the market, and small and medium-sized enterprises have been integrated. In addition, the competition among downstream communication operators in this industry is becoming increasingly fierce. While "reducing costs and increasing efficiency", the quality standards of communication technology services are constantly improved, resulting in a decline in the profit level of some regions.

Countermeasures: The company will give full play to the advantages of technology research and development and online digital platform, accelerate the expansion of key business areas, improve operation and maintenance efficiency, and continuously improve the overall profitability of the company.

2. Risk of high concentration of customers

The final customers of communication technology service industry are mainly communication operators, and the high customer concentration is the characteristic of this industry. During the reporting period, the total sales revenue of the company’s top five customers (consolidated under the same control) accounted for 91.46% of the sales revenue, which was in line with the characteristics of the industry. Among them, the sales revenue from China Mobile (consolidated caliber), the largest customer, accounted for 73.23%, and the company relied on China Mobile to some extent.

Countermeasures: The company will maintain its competitive advantage in the mobile market in China, effectively expand the markets of customers such as China Telecom, China Unicom, China Tower and communication equipment manufacturers, reduce customer concentration and reduce dependence on major customers.

3. Management risks brought by the rapid development of the company.

The company has a wide range of businesses and services all over the country, which requires higher and higher management requirements in business decision-making, business implementation, human resource management and risk control. If the company can’t further improve its management level, co-ordinate its personnel and business scale, it may face management risks brought by its wide business scope.

Countermeasures: The company actively responds to the requirements of business development and changes, effectively manages the team in the new business area, and makes the update speed of the integrated operation management system match the company’s operation management needs. The company will further fully expand and apply the standardized, standardized and streamlined management concept through the digital platform, so as to realize the intelligence of operation and maintenance business, data analysis, analysis and judgment, auxiliary decision-making, efficiency improvement, hidden danger diagnosis, fault prediction, etc. of the operation of systems and equipment, and realize the intelligent scheduling of offline operation and maintenance personnel and resources.

4. Risks of technology and product update

The company is faced with the demand in many fields, and the technology and products of various industries are constantly upgrading. The original technology and products of the company also need to be updated. If the technology and products of the company fail to keep up with the development of industry technology and cannot maintain their applicability and advancement, it will affect the market competitiveness and profitability of the company.

Countermeasures: The company will increase investment in R&D and deeply integrate communication technology services with new technologies, so as to improve service quality, meet customers’ needs and enhance competitive advantage. Through the company’s continuous research and development, we can quickly respond to and meet customer needs.

5, production safety risk

Safety accidents may occur during the development of communication technology services, poor road traffic conditions and complex and changeable weather during field operations may also lead to accidents during operations, transportation and engineering.

Countermeasures: The company pays attention to strengthening the team management, perfecting the system, implementing responsibilities, strengthening safety technical disclosure, organizing safety technical training and other measures to improve the safety production awareness of all employees and strengthen safety production management, and the company has signed safety responsibility clauses with labor outsourcing suppliers.

Dialogue Qi Chen, founder of WeShop: If AIGC is a hammer, then we need to find the application nail.

  Digital watermarking technology will usher in national standards. A few days ago, the National Network Security Standardization Technical Committee publicly solicited opinions on the national standard "Information Security Technology Digital Watermarking Technology Implementation Guide" (hereinafter referred to as the standard). The standard defines the technical framework of digital watermarking, and the watermark needs to be embedded in the watermark carrier (such as images, videos, documents, etc.); Clarify the function of digital watermarking technology; Clarify the realization process of digital watermarking; Suggestions on the selection of watermarking algorithm, the use of typical watermarking scenes and the evaluation method of watermarking function are also given.

  Recently, Qi Chen, founder of WeShop and chairman of Mushroom Street, mentioned in an exclusive interview with national business daily that AIGC technology has been applied to the commercial auction market, and there are problems in industry standards and norms of AI commercial auction at present. After the establishment of subsequent industry standards and norms, the company will continue to study and follow up.

  In 2023, as the founder of WeShop, Qi Chen joined the AI Application Working Group of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. After many ups and downs in the Internet technology market, he knows that the high-growth technology industry often goes through the stage of immaturity to chaos, and then to maturity.

  In 2023, AIGC technology set off a new wave of innovation and entrepreneurship in the domestic Internet technology industry. Qi Chen felt that AIGC technology was like a hammer, and only by finding a nail that he was good at could he nail down one side of the space. From graphic e-commerce to live e-commerce, Mushroom Street gives people more awareness of the platform of To C. This time, unlike in the past, he aimed at the B-end market and launched WeShop’s AI commercial shooting platform.

  How big is the commercial space for AI commercial shooting? National business daily (hereinafter referred to as NBD) reporter chatted with Qi Chen.

  AI commercial auction lacks standards and specifications.

  NBD: As an e-commerce user, I found on some e-commerce websites in China that some merchants have used AI commercial auction to display and sell goods. If you don’t pay attention, you may not be aware of the use of AI technology, but I saw that the feedback from users in the comment area is AI commercial auction. What do you think of the current application of this technology?

  Qi Chen: The point you mentioned actually fed back several questions: First, the current AI commercial auction technology is still in the development period, and there is still room for continuous improvement; Secondly, it also involves issues of industry norms and legislation. WeShop is very cautious in this respect. For example, last year, we were actively applying for the filing of the national AI algorithm. At the beginning of this year, WeShop passed, and we were also the first batch of enterprises to pass.

  Recently, we saw the news that digital watermarking technology will usher in the national standard, requiring AI to add digital watermarking to generated content. In fact, before the draft for comment came out, we were also making relevant preparations for AI image watermarking.

  We have experienced several rounds of ups and downs in the industry before, and we have some experience, so we think it is good for everyone to make early judgment and preparation.

  NBD: Why is the direction of re-starting a business AI?

  Qi Chen: In earlier years, Mushroom Street tried the technology of virtual try-on, and AI technology was also applied at that time, but the AI at that time was generally biased towards the recognition function. This round of AIGC focuses more on generative AI. At the end of 2022, when AIGC exploded, we suddenly realized that at this critical point, it seemed to meet some of the needs of virtual fitting that we had hoped to achieve before, so we started the project in early 2023, and about three months later, we went online to shoot WeShop.

  NBD: The idea at that time was to make a new iteration on the previous AI recognition technology?

  Qi Chen: As far as my entrepreneurial path and main line are concerned, there is still a very clear trunk in general. It is how to show more real goods on the virtual screen, so that the information gap between consumers and businesses can be reduced. The waterfall stream and live e-commerce created by Mushroom Street in the early years are all for this purpose. After this round of AIGC technology broke out, we also tried new projects with this idea.

  NBD: Efficiency and quality are actually difficult to balance. Although technology can be pushed forward, can the information gap behind it be eliminated?

  Qi Chen: There may be some brands that deliberately create the information gap, but like us, as a retail channel, we hope to reduce the information gap to some extent. From the consumer’s point of view, people may think that consumers naturally want to eliminate the information gap. But in fact, sometimes this is not the case. If there is no information difference between merchants and consumers at all, for example, no packaging at all, consumers may not like it either.

  Therefore, our main line is to reduce the information gap as much as possible and constantly use new technologies to reduce the information gap. Usually, when a technology is fully used by the whole industry, its information gap will increase again, so we begin to look for new technologies, which is a process of constant competition and mutual influence.

  Find the small incision application scenario

  NBD:WeShop was developed by the artificial intelligence team of Mushroom Street. Compared with the previous e-commerce platform of to C, WeShop is a B-side AIGC application, which user groups does it mainly serve?

  Qi Chen: WeShop’s business is biased towards the B end, which is a new attempt for us. In addition to the e-commerce platform and retail platform that we tried before, we also hope that as an importer and developer of technology applications, we can apply technology to target customers more widely.

  At present, according to our user data, it is mainly divided into several categories: one is domestic e-commerce customers, the other is cross-border e-commerce customers, and the other is brand design customers and advertising customers. Geographically, more than half of our customers are overseas.

  An interesting phenomenon is that Brazil is the country with the largest number of overseas customers. Where are their demand points? For example, to sell small commodities and agricultural products, they need to change their backgrounds and models, change their domestic backgrounds to those of Brazil, and change their models of China to those of Latin America.

  NBD: In the eyes of many bosses, AI is a sharp weapon to "reduce costs and increase efficiency". From the practical application point of view, what is the willingness of enterprises to use technology to reduce costs and increase efficiency when it comes to specific application scenarios?

  Qi Chen: From the perspective of our customers, there is a huge difference between the cognition of the boss and that of the front-line operators. In addition, there are also great cognitive differences among bosses: some people don’t know enough about AI, some people think that AI can solve all problems, and some people think that AI can’t solve anything.

  Then, the front-line employees’ cognition of AI is also divided: some people will actively embrace AI and improve work efficiency; There are also some people who will resist and worry that AI will affect their work.

  NBD: After the explosive development last year, how do you see the development of AIGC application this year?

  Qi Chen: The year 2024 is still crucial. This year should be the stage when AIGC applications are really used by everyone. Therefore, people like us who are engaged in AI application development must do something.

  First of all, understand the customer’s application scenarios very well, break down the customer’s entire workflow and work scenarios, and apply different AI functions in different scenarios. Secondly, it is clear in which scenario we can satisfy our customers. At present, ChatGPT is basically completed in the form of dialogue, which seems to be very powerful, but from the work point of view, this interface is actually not professional enough and its controllability is very poor.

  WeShop has accumulated hundreds of thousands of customers without advertising and marketing. The reason is that our scene is cut very finely and the granularity is very small. At present, the core of the AI ​ ​ commercial auction launched by WeShop is still staring at the AI ​ ​ application related to the field of e-commerce marketing. From this point of view, 2024 should be a very interesting year. This year, everyone will focus on each segment. In 2023, many enterprises launched large models, some of which cost a lot of money. At first, they were "the hammer of Raytheon", but the actual application scenario to be landed may still be as small as a nail. There may be many times when you don’t need the "Thor’s Hammer" at all. Just find a very precise small incision "small nail" and knock it in with a small hammer.

  Therefore, I think in 2024, in addition to "hammers", there will be "pliers" and "wrenches" on the market. The real universal model, just like the industrial machine tool, is to help you make "hammers" and production tools.

  NBD: For the current AI commercial auction technology in the industry, some users feel that it has not achieved the expected results. What do you think of the development path of AI commercial auction technology?

  Qi Chen: The growth of science and technology is a gradual upward process; Every time the technology advances, more customers buy. Now there are customers who continue to pay and use, which shows that the current level of AI business shooting has met the needs of some customers. However, in the face of the needs of other users, there may be room for improvement in technology, and sometimes we need the blessing of our artificial intelligence team.

  I think the technology may have to develop for two years. At that time, everyone is expected to know more about what AI can do, what will be replaced by AI and what cannot be replaced.

Passion eulogizes the great national spirit-China writers write poems on the front line of earthquake relief

Special topic: Wenchuan earthquake in Sichuan

Topic: Heroes of Earthquake Relief

    Xinhuanet Beijing, June 14 (Reporter Liao Yi) "We should record this earth-shaking earthquake relief struggle in the form of literature, and show the unity and strength of heroic Chinese sons and daughters in the face of crisis and tell the world." Within more than a week after the Wenchuan earthquake, the Chinese Writers Association organized four China writers’ earthquake relief interview groups, including more than 50 writers and poets, to go to Sichuan, Gansu, Shaanxi and other hardest hit areas to experience life and interview and create. Day and night in the front line, writers and poets were all shocked by the heroes and touching stories that emerged in the earthquake relief, inspired by the national spirit highlighted in this disaster, poured their passion into the pen and wrote a lot of works containing the true feelings of writers, which touched countless readers, brought strong spiritual shock to the people of the whole country and great spiritual strength to overcome the difficulties together.


  On the front line of disaster, China writers are with the people.


    At the scene of earthquake relief, there are unyielding cadres and masses, people’s soldiers who put people’s interests above everything else, angels in white, who is committed to saving lives, volunteers at home and abroad who are silently dedicated, journalists who record history, and writers and poets who engrave national suffering and spirit.


    Gao Hongbo, He Jianming, Huang Yazhou, Xu Jian, Li Mingsheng, Fang Min … Well-known writers and poets braved the threat of aftershocks and went deep into the disaster-stricken areas such as Dujiangyan, Mianyang, Deyang, Guangyuan, Wenchuan, Beichuan, Anxian, Qingchuan, Mianzhu, Shifang and Pengzhou in Sichuan Province, and interviewed the victims. Writers and poets such as Chen Jiangong, Chen Qirong, Xie Keqiang, Yang Ke, Tian He, Xu Kun, Jiang Wei, Wang Peng, Lengmeng, Sun Jingyan, etc., who went deep into the disaster-stricken areas in Gansu and Shaanxi, cordially visited the local victims and donated money to the local disaster-stricken rural areas and Hope Primary School …


    In these shocking scenes, in those moving places, China writers are dancing. Among the writers who participated in the interview, the oldest is 71-year-old Sichuan woman writer Li Linying, and the youngest is Beijing writer Chun Shu and Hebei writer Chen Weijun born in the 1980s. In this way, several generations of China writers and poets have been close to the motherland, a painful land, and comforted their traumatized hometown with their feelings.


    "This is a rare spiritual and emotional impact; The creative experience of this interview has made me mature. " Several young writers said.


  Share the disaster, let the creation consciously pay attention to the people’s livelihood.


    "Wenchuan, Wenchuan/At this moment, you make the whole Republic sleepless/sleepless nights/how many people can’t sleep! /So, the President of the Republic issued an order/the Prime Minister of the Republic took the lead/the Republic army marched in the rain/the Republic accompanied Wenchuan to tide over the difficulties! /Race death with speed/People’s safety is higher than the sky! "


    "Today, I bow my head, not to cry/just to kiss the broken land/just to search between the heart and the ruins again/to find the crying of the baby/to find the breathing of the old people/to suck the blood from their wounds/to give birth to the miracle of the next life."


    In a field tent, in successive aftershocks, under the bright or dark lights, first-line writers and poets wrote these hot poems with passion.


    Xu Jian, a military writer, said: "This interview in the earthquake zone has made me more and more consciously return to the position of civilians, taking the whole life as a thought, taking universal values as a banner, and paying more attention to my parents, brothers and sisters." Writer Jiang Wei said: "In this disaster, the party and the people share the same fate, which fully embodies the relationship between fish and water, which has laid the most solid foundation for us to overcome the disaster." Xuanwu, a young writer, said: "Words present power, and civilization is passed down by such a power."


    Whether it’s a writer who goes to the front line to interview the earthquake relief, or a writer and poet who is far behind, blood is boiling at the same time and passion is burning for the same goal! Many writers and poets have picked up pen and paper to sing for the great national spirit shown in the great disaster.


  The work of blood is in harmony with the land and people.


    "The combination of literature and songs is timely." This is fully reflected in the first-line creation of China writers and poets in earthquake relief.


    Poems to Wenchuan, Carrying a Wife, Mourning: In the Name of the Republic, Angels on the Ruins, Life and Death, China at 14: 28, Flag Flying in the Highland of Life, A Child’s Salute, Let’s Share This Moment … These hot songs from the hearts of China writers and poets are sung through newspapers, radio and television. The earth-shaking truth has moved countless readers.


    At the same time, He Jianming’s Report from Longmenshan, Unyielding Ridge, Qiushanshan’s Breakthrough from the Despair, Tracking: Long Baoping’s Rescue, Jiang Wei’s A Small Town that Surprised Us, Xu Jian’s Mourn of Abundance, Wang Peng’s Feeling New in Destruction, YongXian Quan’s Longnan Diary and Xuanwu’s Dangerous Situation.


    There are many poets and writers who express their feelings in other literary styles. For example, Chen Jiangong and Wang Song created the essays Life and Death Game and Monitor respectively, Xie Keqiang created lyrics such as party member Commando and The People’s Liberation Army’s kindness is greater than the sky, and Chen Weijun created the Yue Opera "There is no way ahead" and the Beijing Opera "Chinese sons and daughters are grateful for each other".


    The fiery front line of disaster relief has aroused the surging creative enthusiasm of writers and poets. Poets Huang Yazhou and Shang Zejun published poetry anthologies "China is so shocked" and "National Mourning: Poems about Wenchuan" respectively, all of which are first-line works in the disaster area. The Chinese Writers’ Association quickly organized the editing and publication of two poetry collections, Symphony of the Heart with a Feeling of the Earth and the Earth, and China: Shocking May.


    "I strongly feel the power of literature, which keeps me awake at night and shocks me all the time, as well as warmth, strength and confidence, so that I can’t wait to go to the disaster area to fight with the people there and share the burden." This is a message from netizens to writers and poets in China.


    Jin Binghua, Party Secretary and Vice Chairman of the Chinese Writers’ Association, said that there are too many people and things in earthquake relief that need writers to express and eulogize. The Chinese Writers’ Association will continue to organize writers to interview and create in the disaster areas, artistically reflecting the heroic achievements of the people in the disaster areas in rebuilding their material and spiritual homes under the leadership of the party and the government, and there will be more good works dedicated to the people of the whole country. The reporter understands that the Chinese Writers’ Association is organizing efforts to carefully edit and publish the anthology of poems, reportage and essays on earthquake relief, and will give them to the disaster-stricken areas to better inspire the fighting spirit of compatriots in the disaster-stricken areas and the people of the whole country.

Mikan Ryu didn’t choose "Sister Riding the Wind and Waves" again, and then sent a small composition, but she was squandered and sold badly.

As soon as Sister Braving the Wind and Waves 4 was broadcast, Mikan Ryu, who once played Yan Lili, the little black magic fairy in Balala, went on a hot search, which triggered a heated discussion. History is always surprisingly similar! Why do you say this? Because she also went on a hot search when "Braving the Wind and Waves 3" was broadcast. She went to the hot search twice for the same reason-she was not successfully selected to participate in the variety show.

What we see in the entertainment circle is actually more success, because in the vast sea of people, only success can be seen by everyone. Therefore, it is very rare for artists like Mikan Ryu to "fail". Let’s briefly review her early experiences.

In 2009, Mikan Ryu made it into the top 15 of Super Girl, which can’t be said-it’s not good enough, and many people can’t reach it. But to say yes, it is not as good as the first place and the second place. In 2010, she participated in the women’s team debut and also participated in South Korea’s MAMA. Being a women’s group is popular now, but it was only in its infancy at that time, although their works and stage quality were good at that time. Later, the team ended in failure.

Last year, she experienced two major failures, one was the failure to take the postgraduate entrance examination, and the other was the failure to be selected as Sister Lang. Mikan Ryu herself said that it was a great blow to her. Fortunately, Sister Lang was not only held for three years, but also this year. Surprisingly, Mikan Ryu failed again this year. In this way, she has failed many times in just over 30 years.

In addition to her little black magic fairy and failure, Mikan Ryu loves to write things to express her feelings, which is also one of her characteristics. This time, she was not selected successfully, so she sent a short composition in Weibo to express her feelings. The small composition is the same as the previous response that I failed to be selected for the first time and that I failed to take the postgraduate entrance examination. The number of words is quite large. But when she sent a small composition before, she received almost all the support and encouragement, and this time there were some voices of spitting.

The content of this essay is also quite rich, and the language is plain and fluent, but there are many good sentences and true feelings. There are still several expressions and events in it that are quite impressive. For example, she even prayed to God for this interview with Sister Lang, which is enough to show her attention to this program and inexplicably makes people feel sad.

As soon as this little composition came out, it triggered a heated discussion among netizens. Encourage and praise her, so encourage and praise her, for example, her writing is good, for example, she is sincere, and some people express sympathy and regret for her failure.

But those critical voices focused on the purpose of Mikan Ryu’s essay. "Is it necessary to send a short composition every time I fail?" "Is this selling bad eyeballs?" "I thought she was pitiful at first, but when the short composition sold badly, I felt bad …" Yes, many people are wondering if Mikan Ryu is trying to use the attention of netizens to send herself to next year’s wave sister.

However, the author thinks that it is understandable for Mikan Ryu to post this blog post. First of all, we can find that Mikan Ryu is a person who loves to record her life and is willing to express herself on Weibo, so it is not surprising to express her feelings after meeting a failed thing.

Secondly, the content of this Weibo is really sincere, and the sentence is beautiful and connotative. We can learn from it that we can meet difficulties and setbacks, be sad but accept it peacefully, and never give up the positive energy of progress.

Finally, what if there is a purpose? Mikan Ryu itself is very suitable for the positioning of Sister Lang, who can sing and dance, and has worked as a women’s group. Many people are still looking forward to her being on this program. Proper selling is miserable, and if it can achieve the goal of not being excessive, this is also a means that can be taken. But we must not criticize insincerity just because her words are full of emotion and look more emotional.

In other words, some people always complain that there is no "living person" in entertainment. Weibo of some star idols is full of business endorsements and drama announcements. Isn’t it the representative of "living person" that Mikan Ryu can publish such thoughtful Weibo content? On the one hand, everyone criticizes that star artists are so aloof and unwilling to talk to fans, and on the other hand, they suspect that the artists who do so are purposeful and utilitarian. We should not be so harsh.

In a word, it’s a pity that Mikan Ryu didn’t choose Sister Lang this year. I can only hope that we will not see such a small composition next year, but that she will be successfully selected as Sister Lang and can see her experience in the Weibo.

Looking for "body language to express human spiritual life"

  French writer Gide said: "Reading Dostoevsky is a lifelong event." Russian Aveman Ballet brought brothers karamazov to the 3rd China International Ballet Performance Season, which is a great event for the literary youth, opera fans and dance fans in Beijing.

  Efman, who makes drama ballet into "contemporary"

  Since 1980s and 1990s, Boris Efman has achieved the status of a world-class choreographer with his fiery psychological rendering. St Petersburg Aifman Ballet is also unique because of its "high altitude", high value and high ability in casting. It is precisely because of the excellence of the Evmanba Troupe, especially the joint efforts of choreography and performance, that Russian contemporary ballet quickly leaps to the forefront of the world, which not only contributes to the revival of Russian ballet culture on the world stage, but also represents a kind of "rebirth" of ballet.

  There is a peak of literature or drama, but are you afraid that you can’t dance on the plateau of ballet? Of course not. For hundreds of years, although the development of ballet has something to do with the development of drama, it can’t be copied. Just as opera ballet in 18th century can’t copy the principle of "three unifications" of drama, the decline of Soviet drama ballet in 20th century is due to the mechanical application of "stanislavski’s drama system". One-sided pursuit of the story, ignoring the role of music and dance itself, no matter how vivid and true the "experiential school" pantomime is, it can only make the road of ballet more and more mediocre, and make the promising drama ballet become a pantomime ballet that "forbeares not to talk" and eventually end in the road. However, the concept of "psychological realism" in creation and performance is a feature of Soviet drama ballet, and the combination of actors and roles is also a magic weapon that Afman inherited. Therefore, in "brothers karamazov", Maria Abashova, the imperial heroine of Evman, bid farewell to the elegant and lonely Anna, and lived in the role of the integration of spirit and body in Glosinka, which makes people sigh, and the contrast is great! Of course, psychological ballet is also the credit of Russian psychological drama, which plays down the external plot and takes the inner world of the protagonist as the main performance space, so that the soul can stimulate a sharp edge in the collision.

  Aifman inherited the exquisite tradition left by the predecessors and realized a thorough transformation. It is also quite important: Iveman turned the power of Russian classic literature into his own style — — Of course, there are also "ancestors" to explore the road. Just when the Soviet Union gave up drama ballet and found another way to create "symphonic ballet", the "modernity" in Russian literature ignited the inspiration of German drama ballet in the 1960s, among which the most famous masterpiece was the dance drama of the same name adapted from yevgeni onegin, the foundation work of Russian critical realism literature. The cooperation of duet, solo, four-person dance and group dance made ballet a wonderful combination of psychology, ideas, emotions and staged drama.

  In the contemporary ballet stage, "expressing the human soul through dance", not just "telling a story by dance", has become the common aspiration of many outstanding contemporary dance masters. Both "human" and "soul" are key words that can not be ignored. It emphasizes the possibility of exploring human commonality and individual particularity with body language and realizing the work across time and space. Different from many European choreographers’ post-modern expansion of the classic "using the title to play", Evman still uses Russian literature as the medium to bring drama ballet into the "contemporary" field of vision. In the face of classics, Chinese accepted the re-creation of "respecting the original", not to mention Russian literature and Soviet literature, which once accompanied a generation of young people. Perhaps this is one of the reasons why Evman’s psychological ballet is gradually widely accepted in China.

  Evman created the polyphonic ballet.

  In the dance world of Evman, ballet is still beautiful, but the focus is not on beauty, because ballet has become a means for the role and audience to meditate together. If in many modern drama ballets, you can still tell the difference between performance dance and emotional dance, and you can also find dancing pantomime in it, then in brothers karamazov, not only the beautiful "plug-in" dance segments are excluded from the drama structure, but also the pantomime actions that generally explain the nature are avoided as far as possible, and the design materials of actions and gestures are basically abstract, leaving only essential dramas such as kissing, fighting and throwing money. The "psychological ballet" pursued by Evman is to find "a body language that can express the spiritual life of human beings", and the most attractive feature of Tuo’s novels is his philosophical exploration of the dark and profound mind.

  Structure determines the success or failure of contemporary dance drama. The ballet version of "brothers karamazov" did not show the disastrous events that followed, nor did it rely on the ups and downs of the plot, but grasped the key plot line of "lust struggle". Therefore, the four fathers and sons and Grushenka, who is an angel and a devil, are the heroes of the play. As for the two dead wives of old Carla Matsov and the real murderer in the novel — — Another illegitimate child, as well as the eldest brother Dmitry’s fiancee, monastery elders and other roles have been hidden. Aifman is not just recreating a criminal investigation story of "killing his father" on the stage. He needs to think about how the main characters on the stage make this story happen, for example, he can’t "mime" the process of killing his father, or build a scene of court trial … … But let the story happen in the interweaving and conflict of ideas. In fact, we don’t know who the real murderer is, because the killing scene in the ballet is an abstract expression, and everyone is involved in it, and it is impossible to escape the guilt of "conspiracy". The cleverness of Efman is reflected here. Everyone in the play is suffering from complex and intense psychological torture. Like Tuo’s novels, the idea of the protagonist in the dance drama must also be the idea of the protagonist’s thoughts, and the setting of the relationship between the characters must also be reflected in the interweaving of thoughts.

  We might as well use Bakhtin’s "polyphony" orientation to describe this dance drama — — Brothers karamazov is like a polyphonic ballet. In other words, there are no male and female leading actors in the drama, and the "spiritual world" of the protagonists is not completely controlled by the director. They are all independent individuals, and they are in contact with each other in the "dialogue". It’s just that the ideological duality of all the protagonists is not fully displayed in the dance drama. For example, Dmitry is simplified as a young man who falls in love with a romantic woman. Because of the lust struggle with his father, he becomes the biggest suspect in the "father-killing" incident and suffers a lot. Alesha, the youngest son, is the first hero to appear in the dance drama and the last curtain call. He is a devout believer, but he was once caught in a crisis of faith and was tempted by Grushenka. Later, Alesha’s heart fought fiercely, and his group dance with his multiple avatars showed us the cracks in his heart. But Efman did not show the reason why Alesha was caught in the crisis of faith.

  Unlike anna karenine and Rodin, which Iveman brought twice before, love is no longer the core theme of the ballet version of brothers karamazov, but it is also an indispensable episode. Moreover, in this male-dominated dance drama, the actress’s scenes are often the highlights. Grushenka loves money more than men, and the only heroine is also the key to stirring up the tragedy. However, her greatest charm is not the romantic sex appeal that fascinates men, but her self-reflection. Therefore, in the second act, Efman made her dressed as a plain clothes bribe the prison guards, and danced a "behind bars duet" with Dmitry in desperation. The sincere love overflowed from the gestures, which was touching, which was in sharp contrast with the image of her flirtatious trampling on Dmitry and Alesha in the first act.

  Before the performance, the only thing I am sure of is that this work must be more than just a dance drama with a pair dance of love to express its expression. Sure enough, father-son duet, four-person dance, brother solo dance, two-person dance and three-person dance made the upheaval special. The connection between dance segments often happens inadvertently, which shows that Aifman has made dramatic arrangements for the undulating internal structure of a piece of music — — The music continues, but the dance space has moved. Alienated father-son affection, fraternal affection, death, suffering, meaning of existence, fighting between good and evil, morality and religion … … In the uninterrupted dance space, they are twisted together, forming a big net of human self-test. Sometimes it makes people’s emotional, and sometimes it makes people hold their breath.

  The ingenuity of music, lighting and dancing.

  Crazy and wanton old Carla Matsov came in a trailer and was dragged by several prostitutes, which broke the silence of the three brothers shrouded in spiritual hymns. The music invaded so overbearingly, indicating that Iveman was "abnormal" in music setting this time. In the first act, the gorgeous Glossinka appeared with the folk songs of Tzgang style, and the manic and exaggerated brass instruments happened to be a portrayal of my father’s indulgence in life. At the end of the second act, when the music was suspended, Alesha returned to vulgarity among the people. The ethereal soprano singing in the play seems to come from the depths of the souls of three sons. In terms of music structure, this dance drama is often accompanied by such a sudden change in painting style. Although the styles of Wagner, Musorgskiy and Rachmaninov are "incoherent", they just show such a split and complicated family atmosphere. Similarly, the lighting of the dance drama is unpredictable, and the light and shade change quietly, and the scene of wanton dancing instantly evolves into a son’s monologue, or separates the different spiritual worlds of the protagonists.

  The stage design of Efman’s works is simple and full of multiple symbolic meanings. A covered bridge, which is set up by the spiral staircase leading to the cross, is sometimes a romantic place for feasting and sometimes a big iron frame like a prison; The big net stretched out from Alesha’s body, the rope that tied Dmitry in the air and the child’s "skipping rope" went to his father’s hand, but it became a whip to Ivan, the pistol that split Ivan’s personality … … Are permeated with a burst of coolness. There is also a long table with erotic drama, which is also an important connection between father and son, and eventually becomes the only witness of the murder case, which makes people feel scared.

  Literature gives dance power.

  Of course, Efman is more interested in why this story happened. Although this deformed story of "coupled family" caused by social transformation is extremely special, the thinking of the characters in the play is also a problem faced by modern human beings. The dialogue between God and soul, which seems to be detached from the plot, actually influences the behavior of the characters.

  In the ballet, except that Alesha is dressed in a black and white robe of a monk, Dmitry and Ivan are dressed like two contemporary youths. On the whole, the images of Ivan and Alesha are full, especially Ivan. What impressed people was several duets between Ivan and his brother. In the first act, he first had a spiritual "conversation" with Alesha. It was a "men’s duet" in which three people danced, and the one who was more was the incarnation of a holy angel. Paradoxically, the ugly old father even spared the "angel". Later, his duet with Dmitry began Ivan’s "dialogue" mode.

  In the second act, the duet and group dance of Ivan and Alesha are intertwined, and the voice-over becomes an important element. Those group dancers dressed in prison uniforms repeated Ivan’s mechanical movements and surrounded him completely. Although the body texture of the "prisoners" became soft and comfortable by accident because of Alesha’s inspiration, Ivan resolutely dominated the dialogue between them in terms of physical relationship, just like the "religious judge" in the original novel talking to the silent Jesus. Bread or freedom? In the face of Ivan’s strength, Alesha just silently kissed Ivan on the forehead, but it has the power to moisten things silently. Contrary to many male dancers, Fisher, the actor who plays Alesha, is not a tall and powerful dancer, but more convincing. Perhaps it was this kiss that made Ivan after him re-examine himself. He continued to manipulate the "prisoners" who lost their freedom and repeated forceful actions, but the occasional tremor was very obvious, and finally he stumbled and fell. On the analysis of Ivan’s heart, Evman kept the most discussed and famous literary fragment in the book. The strength of this dance comes more from the literature itself. I wonder if this is a pity or a blessing?

  There is another scene in the play that is meaningful. Dostoevsky once deliberately emphasized the beauty of children’s hearts in his novels. In the first scene, an innocent girl plays a skipping game, but can these simple beauties really stop evil? What is terrible is that this rope that brings happiness turned out to be a whip waving on Ivan. Ivan’s mind has the creed of "doing nothing with evil", and his "duet" is his dialogue with demons. Due to the absence of the illegitimate child, the dance drama did not clearly show who was the real murderer, and this "duet" pointed the murderer at a doppelganger of Ivan. In any case, he could not escape the guilt of instigation and incitement.

  Finally, the three brothers who warmed each other with love and Gloucesinka reached the same goal by different routes, and they all went to the road of self-salvation and approached the spiraling cross one after another. These miserable souls are willing to tear the wound open for us to see, even though the fester is still bleeding and pus, they still have to expose Lu Xun’s so-called "true whiteness hidden under that evil" … … Dialogue with Ivan is the key to Alesha’s spiritual transformation. In redemption, love and goodness are eternal. But the whole viewing process is full of confusion, circuitous and anguish. I think, Iveman succeeded.

Innovative social governance: who will govern what and how.

  1. The background and objectives of social governance concept.

  The Decision of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China on Several Major Issues of Comprehensively Deepening Reform adopted by the Third Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee pointed out that "the overall goal of comprehensively deepening reform is to improve and develop the Socialism with Chinese characteristics system and promote the modernization of the national governance system and governance capacity". The Central Committee of the Communist Party of China’s Proposal on Formulating the Thirteenth Five-Year Plan for National Economic and Social Development, adopted by the Fifth Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee, further holds that strengthening and innovating social governance is an important starting point for strengthening and improving the Party’s leadership and providing a strong guarantee for the realization of the 13th Five-Year Plan.

  The application of the concept of "social governance" has gone through a process in understanding — — Before the Third Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee, we mainly used the concept of "social management". Since the Third Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee adopted "the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China’s Decision on Comprehensively Deepening Reform", our party began to replace "social management" with the concept of "social governance". The transformation from social management to social governance is not a simple "one-word change", it reflects the obvious differences in governance subject, governance mode, governance scope and governance focus, and it is a profound summary of our party’s experience in dealing with social problems and solving social contradictions in the new period of reform, opening up and socialist modernization, and reflects the important theoretical and practical achievements made by the CPC Central Committee with the supreme leader as the general secretary in China’s social construction.

  Innovating social governance has become a very important task to innovate government behavior. The Fourth Plenary Session of the 16th CPC Central Committee, held in September 2004, proposed for the first time to "establish and improve the social management pattern of party committee leadership, government responsibility, social coordination and public participation." In the report of the 17th National Congress of the Communist Party of China in 2007, it was put forward: "We should improve the social management pattern of party committee leadership, government responsibility, social coordination and public participation, and improve the grass-roots social management system." In 2010, 35 comprehensive pilot projects of social management innovation were identified nationwide, and the "Guiding Opinions on Comprehensive Pilot Projects of Social Management Innovation in China" was formulated. In November 2012, the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China proposed to "strengthen social construction in improving people’s livelihood and innovative management". In November 2013, the Third Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee decided to "innovate the social governance system", and put forward the principle requirements from four aspects: improving the social governance mode, stimulating the vitality of social organizations, innovating the system for effectively preventing and resolving social contradictions, and improving the public security system. In October 2014, the Fourth Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee proposed that we should adhere to systematic governance, legal governance, comprehensive governance and source governance, and improve the level of legalization of social governance. The Fifth Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee held in November 2015 proposed to strengthen and innovate social governance. We will build a safe China, improve the social governance system under the leadership of Party committees, government-led, social coordination, public participation and the rule of law, and promote the refinement of social governance.Construct a social governance pattern that all people build and share. "Strengthening", "Perfecting" and "Innovating" social governance is getting stronger and stronger, theoretical research is getting deeper and deeper, governance ideas are getting clearer and clearer, and the connotation, extension and focus of social governance are getting clearer and clearer, which has laid a good foundation for realizing the scientificity of social governance.

  First of all, to strengthen and innovate social governance, we must firmly grasp the general requirement of maximizing social vitality, maximizing harmonious factors and minimizing disharmonious factors. The general requirements of "three maximums" embody two meanings: one is to stimulate social vitality, and the other is to achieve social stability and order by increasing harmonious factors and reducing disharmonious factors. The Third Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee pointed out that it is necessary to "accelerate the formation of a scientific and effective social governance system to ensure that the society is full of vitality and harmonious and orderly." This is the goal of our efforts to establish a scientific and effective social governance system and mechanism, the general task and requirement of strengthening and innovating social governance, and a very important content of promoting the modernization of the national governance system.

  Secondly, vitality and order, development and stability are dialectical and unified relations, which cannot be neglected. Maintaining stability in development and maintaining the unity of opposites in development should be a basic principle for us to innovate social governance and deepen social system reform. At present, one of the main problems in strengthening and innovating social governance in China is that the relationship between stimulating social vitality and maintaining social stability is not properly handled. When we need to choose between stability and development, we tend to pay more attention to the former than the latter, that is, we pay more attention to stability and order than to vitality and development. Therefore, it must be deeply realized that maintaining social stability is only one aspect of social governance, and building a dynamic, stable and orderly society is the real purpose of social governance, and the two must be promoted together. In short, the goal of social governance is to achieve a dynamic balance between stability and vitality.

  2. Current problems and challenges in the field of social governance in China

  China’s economy has entered a "new normal", which is faced with a shift in growth rate, a painful period in structural adjustment and a digestive period in previous stimulus policies. Therefore, the problems encountered in the field of social construction will be more and more complicated. It is very urgent and important to maintain the long-term stability of society and strengthen and innovate social governance.

  (1) Social problems are frequent and sudden. The mass incidents in some places every year are the concentrated expression of this problem, which urgently requires innovative social governance. This problem mainly focuses on personnel treatment, land expropriation, wages and benefits, house demolition, law-related litigation and other areas of interest. To sum up, there are four main categories: first, the contradiction between low-income groups and middle-and high-income groups that reflect the distribution relationship; second, the contradiction between farmers and citizens that reflect the urban-rural relationship; third, the contradiction between employees and employers that reflect the labor relationship; and fourth, the contradiction between the governor and the governed that reflect the relationship between the party and the masses. These four aspects are related in essence, which together indicate the frequent problems, increasing contradictions and risk accumulation in the social transformation period. Therefore, paying attention to social security, preventing and resolving social risks, innovating social governance and establishing a new social operation order have become important topics in the transitional society. In other words, frequent social problems force social governance innovation.

  (2) The increasing social mobility, while promoting the transformation from "unit person" to "social person" and "community person", puts forward new requirements for the focus of social governance. According to relevant statistics, in the total urban employment population, "unit people" used to account for more than 95%, but now this proportion has dropped to about 30%. In 2010-2015, the number of floating population in China remained above 200 million, and a large number of "unit people" have changed to "social people". The scale of social mobility has become larger and larger, and cross-regional mobility has become a normal state. The great transformation of social members from unit people to social people and community people has brought many new problems and new problems to social governance, and the traditional social governance models and methods have been seriously challenged.

  (3) profound changes in the social stratum structure. The multi-subjects in the market brought about by the market-oriented reform have changed the single ownership structure, and at the same time, how to coordinate the demands of different classes and different interest groups has put forward new requirements for social governance. We believe that an important task to promote the modernization of the national governance system and governance capacity at present is to make an in-depth investigation and study on the interests of all walks of life in China and their development and change trends. On this basis, we should reform the original system, formulate new policies and measures as soon as possible, coordinate the interests of all social strata, and gradually establish an interest distribution system and mechanism that adapts to the socialist market economic system. By deepening the reform in an all-round way, we will strive to coordinate the interests of all social strata and build a society in which everyone enjoys the "sense of gain" of reform.

  (D) the inertia of the traditional system. The outstanding performance is as follows: first, the concept lags behind, the "end of the story" is reversed, and the value orientation of social governance is misplaced. When some departments perform social governance functions, their value orientation is not based on the concept of "citizen standard", "society standard" and "rights standard", but on "official standard" and "government standard", which seriously affects the government’s social governance function. Second, pay attention to economic growth and despise social development. Taking GDP as a hero leads to the disharmony between social development and economic development, and social development lags behind economic development for at least ten years. Third, the party and government are not divided, and the political society is not divided. Before the reform and opening up, we distorted the Marxist concept of state in practice, copied the Soviet model, and formed a governance system of "nationalization of social governance", which led to the integration of political parties, the state and society, and led to the party’s over-concentration and meticulous governance of social affairs. Fourth, the transformation of government functions is not in place. It should be acknowledged that great achievements have been made in government reform over the years, government functions have changed greatly, service awareness has been greatly enhanced, and the construction of service-oriented government is continuing to advance, but there are still many aspects that need reform. Fifth, the development of social organizations is not enough, and the space for playing its role needs to be improved. As of the first quarter of 2016,There are 664,800 social organizations with competent departments and registered by civil affairs departments, including 329,000 social organizations, 331,000 private non-enterprise units and 4,841 foundations. Social organizations have initially played an important role in social governance and public services, but on the whole, their development is not mature enough, which is mainly manifested in four aspects: First, they have a strong administrative color and low autonomy. Judging from the existing social organizations in China, most of the social organizations that are more influential in society are government-run, government-run, or have a high degree of government-run. Second, the composition structure is unreasonable and its function needs to be improved. At present, the development of social organizations in China is very uneven. Mutual benefit organizations, especially mutual benefit economic organizations, such as trade associations and chambers of commerce, develop rapidly, while public welfare social organizations, such as foundations and private non-enterprise units, develop relatively slowly. Third, the legal system of social organizations is not perfect. At present, there is no Social Organization Law to regulate and protect the activities of social organizations. Fourth, the understanding is not in place and the function of social organization is not well understood.

  3. Innovative basic ideas and solutions of social governance.

  The basic ideas of innovating social governance should be: we must focus on safeguarding the fundamental interests of the overwhelming majority of the people, give full play to the leading, collaborative, autonomous, self-disciplined and mutual-disciplined roles of multiple subjects in social governance, integrate social governance resources, and form a pluralistic governance structure; It is necessary to organically combine the rule of virtue with the rule of law, so that the rule of law plays an increasingly important role in regulating society; We should let all kinds of forces conducive to social stability and the growth of a harmonious society compete in generate, comprehensively promote the construction of a peaceful China, safeguard national security, and ensure that people live and work in peace and contentment, social stability and order, and national security and harmony.

  To this end, we should solve three basic problems in path selection and key grasp.

  (A) What does social governance govern: "two levels and one tone"

  Social governance is mainly a process in which party committees, governments and various social organizations regulate the behavior of social members by means of law, administration and morality, and organize, coordinate, serve, supervise and control social public affairs in order to promote the coordinated operation of the social system. The purpose of doing this is to meet the social needs of the broad masses of social members, solve social problems, resolve social risks, and achieve social stability, order and vitality. The author makes a systematic review of the central government’s literature and academic viewpoints on social management and social governance in the past ten years, and thinks that the content of social governance can be summarized into three aspects, which are referred to as "two levels and one tone" for short, including: first, the platform construction of social governance, including the establishment of a new pattern and system of social governance, and the establishment and improvement of social organizations and community platforms. The second is the construction of peace, covering social security, emergency mechanism, national security construction and other fields. The third is to coordinate three relationships, namely, the relationship between dominance and subjectivity, maintaining stability and safeguarding rights, and the relationship between the rule of law and the rule of virtue.

  According to a large number of investigations and observations, at present, in the actual work in various places, daily social governance is mainly in two aspects, one is safe construction, and the other is guaranteed work. The former is mainly done by the Political and Legal Committee, the Public Prosecution Law and the Letters and Calls Department; The latter is mainly responsible for civil affairs, social security and other departments. As a relatively independent social governance system, it should have richer connotations, including the three major aspects mentioned above. The specific content can be increased or decreased with the change of the situation, but the big framework should be relatively fixed.

  (B) Who will govern social governance: multi-subject governance.

  Since modern times, the understanding of governance subject in foreign theoretical circles has gone through three stages. The first stage was after World War II. Influenced by Keynesianism and the trend of thought of welfare state, public administration theory occupied the mainstream, and the government took care of a series of affairs such as social policy. In the second stage, after 1980s, the new public governance theory characterized by drawing lessons from corporate governance became popular. American scholars Gueble and Osborne put forward in their book Reinventing Government that the function of the government is to steer, not to paddle, that is, many government responsibilities can be outsourced through contracts. The third stage is the beginning of the 21st century, when the new public service theory rises. The representative work of this theory — — Denhardt’s book "New Public Service" puts forward that the government’s duty is to serve, not to steer, and the government should try its best to meet the individual needs of citizens, not to make decisions for the people. These viewpoints are instructive for us to understand the new pattern and system of social governance with China characteristics.

  The report of the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China put forward that it is necessary to "speed up the formation of a social management system under the leadership of the Party committee, with the government taking responsibility, social coordination, public participation and the guarantee of the rule of law". This statement clearly shows that the main body of governance is pluralistic, and the biggest difference from the traditional highly centralized social governance system is the emphasis on social coordination, public participation and legal construction. The implementation of this point will greatly change the relationship between the state and society and take substantial steps towards "small government and big society". Party committees should "grasp the big picture", mainly "look up at the road" and do a good job in the top-level design of social governance values, strategic planning and system construction. The government is mainly responsible for "serving". According to the requirements of changing functions, rationalizing relations, optimizing structure and improving efficiency, we should improve the government responsibility system, strengthen social governance functions, strive to build a service-oriented government, provide more and better public services, and meet the diversified needs of citizens. Social coordination, the key point is to give full play to the synergy of mass organizations such as workers, young women, grassroots mass autonomous organizations and social organizations, and form a social governance and public service network in which the party Committee, government and social forces are interconnected, complementary and interactive. Compared with the government, social organizations have the natural advantages of social network and social capital, which can extend their tentacles into the daily life of ordinary people and deeply understand the individual demands of citizens. Public participation, mainly "Autonomy ",without social autonomy, there will be no social good governance. It is necessary to widely mobilize and organize the masses to participate in social governance and public services rationally and orderly according to law, so as to realize self-governance, self-service, self-education and self-development. Social governance is a governance in which the whole society participates. We must mobilize the enthusiasm of every citizen and form a good situation in which everyone participates in social governance and everyone shares in a harmonious society. The guarantee of the rule of law is mainly about means. Governing the country according to law is our general requirement. As a part of the whole social system, social governance also needs the fundamental guarantee of the rule of law. The Central Committee of the Communist Party of China’s Decision on Several Major Issues of Comprehensively Advancing the Rule of Law, adopted by the Fourth Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee, has played a great role in standardizing and improving the level of social governance from the perspective of emphasizing the role of the rule of law.

  (C) How to manage social governance: establish a correct value orientation and take a multi-pronged approach.

  1. Innovate the concept of social governance and focus on solving the problem of who governance is for. First, we must firmly establish the people-oriented concept. In the final analysis, social governance is to govern and serve people, and constantly realize, safeguard and develop the fundamental interests of the overwhelming majority of the people. Second, we must firmly establish the concept of service priority. Comrade Deng Xiaoping once pointed out that "leadership is service". Today, we innovate the concept of social governance, especially keeping in mind the teaching of Comrade Xiaoping. Third, we must firmly establish the concept of the rule of law. When the report of the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China proposed to speed up the formation of a social governance system, the article "guarantee by the rule of law" was added in particular, which showed that social governance must be governed by law, both reasonable and legal.

  2. Strengthen the leading role and service function of the government in social governance, and solve the problem of excessive governance and governance gaps. The so-called excessive governance means that for the same problem, many social governance subjects have to govern and show their authority. As a result, the multi-headed governance, offside for profits and cross-dislocation, the more the governed object is governed, the more it dies. When it is really necessary to solve the problem, the governance subjects are unclear in their responsibilities, buck passing and internal friction, and they have the name of governance without the reality of governance. The common people often say that "nine big caps are holding a broken straw hat" and "Kowloon controls water and floods are endless", which is the truth. The so-called governance gap is that the pipe is unattended and can’t be managed, and there is a blind spot. The government should provide public services wholeheartedly and truly transform into a service-oriented government.

  3. Build a social organization platform, actively cultivate and develop social organizations, and solve the problem of no resources for social governance. At present, many social organizations in China are facing the difficulties of capital shortage. The measures that can be taken in this regard are: first, the government entrusts management, that is, the government changes the integration of ownership and management rights into the separation of ownership and management rights, and entrusts state-owned welfare facilities to private operators. The successful operation of some social organizations in Pudong, Shanghai, is actually a model entrusted by the government. Second, the government purchases services. The "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" points out that the government will no longer directly undertake innovative ways of providing public services that can be provided by the government. Can be provided by the government and social capital cooperation, widely attract social capital to participate. The third is government subsidized services. The main idea in this regard is that the state finance directly allocates funds to social organizations to help them realize their functions effectively.

  4. Build a good community platform, improve the new community governance and service system, and further strengthen and improve the grassroots social governance and service system. The report of the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China puts forward new requirements for the construction of urban and rural communities, that is, to establish a new community governance system with the leadership of community party organizations as the core, the residents’ autonomy as the foundation, the extensive participation of residents, and the interaction and cooperation of various community organizations, so as to effectively improve the level of community governance. Orderly governance, perfect service, civilization and peace are the general requirements for community construction. Standing in the community to see the community, the community is called the community name area, and the community construction should be socialized; Looking at the community outside the community, the community is named as a famous community. We should pay attention to the integrity of community construction and give play to the overall role of the government. Some problems that cannot be solved in the community must be coordinated and solved by the government.

  5. Extensive mobilization to attract public participation. To strengthen and innovate social governance, we must widely mobilize and organize citizens to participate in social governance rationally and orderly according to law, guide citizens to understand their responsibilities and obligations while enjoying their rights, and unify rights, responsibilities and obligations.

  To strengthen and innovate social governance, it is essential to establish a new service concept based on society and guided by residents’ needs, to create a new balance between vitality and stability, and to build a new relationship between government and society. At present, the main task is to promote the refinement of social governance under the new requirements of innovative social governance system and build a social governance pattern that all people build and share.

Global war and epidemic connection | "Linkage at home and abroad, moving forward the input position of anti-epidemic prevention"

  The COVID-19 epidemic continues to spread in North America.

  As of 9: 00 Beijing time on March 20th, there were 13,408 confirmed cases and 181 deaths in COVID-19. The situation in Canada, which is only "one door apart" from the United States, is not optimistic. By 11: 00 Beijing time on 20th, there were 804 confirmed cases and 10 deaths in COVID-19. Several provinces have declared a state of emergency.

  In order to prevent and control the COVID-19 epidemic, Canada’s entry ban on non-Canadian citizens or permanent residents came into effect on March 18th, local time. On the same day, the authorities announced that the border between Canada and the United States would also be closed to a limited extent.

  What is the current situation of overseas Chinese in Canada and overseas students in China under the continuous spread of the North American epidemic? What measures are Canadian Chinese voluntary organizations, which rushed to donate epidemic prevention materials for the motherland in the early days of the epidemic prevention, taking to support Canadian Chinese overseas Chinese and overseas students in fighting the epidemic?

  On March 20th, Fang Zhenyu, the founding director of Peking University Canadian Alumni Foundation, told The Paper about the war epidemic of overseas Chinese and overseas Chinese in Canada.

Peking University Canadian Alumni Foundation donated materials to support the motherland’s fight against the epidemic. The pictures in this article are provided by the respondents.

  Emergency rescue from Canada across Wan Li

  At the stage of domestic epidemic spread, it has become the common aspiration of overseas Chinese and overseas Chinese organizations to contribute to the motherland’s fight against the COVID-19 epidemic.

  In this arduous "war epidemic", they are overseas and care about the motherland. They not only protect the motherland with love, but also express their constant presence with the motherland with practical actions.

  At present, the domestic epidemic prevention and control has achieved remarkable results, including the contribution of overseas Chinese and overseas students.

  In the process of fighting against the epidemic, overseas Chinese in Canada and overseas students did their best to actively raise aid materials to solve the urgent needs of their compatriots, and the Peking University Canadian Alumni Foundation was one of the important forces.

  Peking University Canadian Alumni Foundation is a non-profit organization officially registered in Canada in December, 2012 with the authorization of relevant institutions in Peking University. It aims to serve the society, its alma mater and its alumni, and is committed to promoting exchanges and prosperity between Canada and China in the fields of economy, education, science and technology, and culture.

  According to Fang Zhenyu, founding director of Peking University Canadian Alumni Foundation, since the outbreak of COVID-19, Peking University Canadian Alumni Foundation, as the general coordinator of joint donation, has donated 25 air cargo pallets of protective materials such as protective clothing, medical masks, goggles and medical gloves to Wuhan and other frontline hospitals in Hubei with the support of domestic airlines and logistics, with a total weight of over 8 tons and a total value of nearly 3 million RMB.

  "From January 22nd, we began to organize donation activities. At noon on January 30th, after wuhan union hospital urgently needed protective materials to send a distress message to the whole society, we took the lead in building an international war ‘ Epidemic ’ Channel — — The urgently needed materials for the anti-epidemic front line will be directly transported from Toronto to Beijing Capital Airport, cleared in Beijing, and the freight will be borne by a group in China and then directly transported to wuhan union hospital. " Fang Zhenyu said, "At 11: 00 a.m. on February 1, dozens of boxes of medical materials were shipped to wuhan union hospital, filled with the deep friendship of Canadian Chinese, overseas Chinese and young international students. Among them, 3,000 sets of protective clothing solved the urgent needs of the hospital at that time."

Medical supplies full of deep friendship between Chinese and overseas Chinese in Canada and young overseas students.

  How did these medical protective materials donated from Canada come from?

  According to Fang Zhenyu, the Peking University Canadian Alumni Foundation has organized more than 30 volunteer teams, mainly composed of Peking University alumni and young volunteers, working in Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal, Ottawa, Edmonton, Regina and Beijing. With the donation support of NutraLab Canada Group, a well-known overseas Chinese pharmaceutical company in Canada, it has established a centralized purchasing transit warehouse and created a "Toronto — — Beijing — — Wuhan (materials are directly transported to frontline hospitals) "channel (referred to as" multi-V-Wu "route), which was almost a" hump route "when many cities in North America and China were suspended at that time.

  "Little friends only sleep for 2 or 3 hours every day, step on a foot of heavy snow to pull materials, pack them and make vouchers overnight to ensure that materials can be sent to the front line in Wuhan as soon as possible. When the motherland needs us, everyone is desperate, sleepless, and snowy! Looking back today, it is still touching. Because Chinese overseas Chinese and young international students have only one belief: if the motherland is good, I will do it! " He said.

Volunteers carry materials.

  In addition to the centralized donations from non-profit organizations and some enterprises, a large part of the materials came from China students and young volunteers studying in Canada, who bought two boxes in this pharmacy and ten boxes in that pharmacy.

  "These small international students in Canada really touched me. Many of these children don’t have cars. They all take buses and subways. They go to a pharmacy to ask questions. This pharmacy buys two boxes, and that pharmacy buys several boxes. They are transported together little by little with trolleys to make a box and donate it back to China. Many Chinese overseas Chinese and overseas students do not know each other at all. Regardless of age, province or dialect, we gather together and donate materials to the motherland. " Fang Zhenyu recalled with great emotion that several newly graduated young students bought a total of 1072 pairs of goggles in several stores in Prince Edward Island, Canada and sent them back to China. These post-90 s and post-00 s international students and young alumni show their infinite love for the motherland.

  "Today, Canada has changed from the rear of the anti-epidemic to the front line of the anti-epidemic. I believe that the motherland and compatriots will give more real care and understanding to overseas Chinese, especially small overseas students." Fang Zhenyu said.

Overseas Chinese in Canada deliver goods.

  "The vast majority of returnees have already reached a consensus — — Actively cooperate with epidemic prevention. "

  As the overseas epidemic situation tends to be serious, some overseas Chinese and overseas students choose to return to China under pressure.

  Recently, some of the returnees did not cooperate with the epidemic prevention work, such as concealing their trips and deliberately concealing their illness, which brought new risks to the epidemic prevention work in China.

  "If it is not helpless, overseas Chinese and overseas students will not risk being infected on a long-distance plane to return home. The vast majority of this group of people who returned to China cooperated with the domestic epidemic prevention work, but the wrong behavior of a very small number of people, coupled with individual self-media rendering, formed a ‘ Do not cooperate ’ The impression. " Fang Zhenyu said that as far as he knows, overseas Chinese and overseas students who have returned to China have already reached a consensus — — Actively cooperate with epidemic prevention work such as detection and isolation, and truthfully register and report.

  "We must not let the wrong actions of a few individuals damage the overall image of overseas Chinese, especially international students." For example, he said, "I am familiar with a China student who studied in new york and graduated soon. On March 10th, she returned to Beijing from new york via Toronto. At that time, her throat was uncomfortable and she coughed a little. When she declared, she immediately reported her cough symptoms. She landed at Beijing Capital International Airport at 6 o’clock in the evening, waited at the airport waiting hall until 11 o’clock in the evening, and was directly sent to a nearby hospital for nucleic acid testing. She stayed alone in a temporary ward without a quilt and did five or six tests all night. She said that these tests are all good things, and it is very worthwhile to work hard for one night, both for yourself and for others. "

  Fang Zhenyu suggested that if some overseas Chinese and overseas students choose to return to China at this moment, it is imperative to do a good job of protection and consciously abide by China’s domestic epidemic prevention regulations and relevant laws and regulations. This will not only protect themselves, but also reduce the risk of epidemic spread, taking care of themselves and others and the overall situation of global epidemic prevention.

  "Internal and external linkage to launch an overseas rescue operation"

  "No matter how the world changes, overseas Chinese will tell their descendants that our home is in China. When Chinese overseas Chinese, especially young international students, must return to China at the moment, I believe that the motherland will certainly welcome them home! " Fang Zhenyu said frankly, "However, the biggest chance of infection when returning to China is on a narrow international flight. Once infected, it will bring greater risks to individuals and families. Of course, if more people go back, it will also bring difficulties to the epidemic prevention and control in China, especially in major international airport cities such as Beijing and Shanghai. "

  "The global epidemic is still developing and changing, and the turning point of the world has not yet arrived. Now China wins, the world wins, and there is a country that has a home. Overseas Chinese and young students understand this truth." Fang Zhenyu suggested "moving the input position of anti-epidemic prevention forward."

  He further explained what is meant by "moving forward the input position of anti-epidemic prevention": I hope that the motherland can give more tangible help to overseas Chinese, especially small overseas students and old overseas Chinese over 70 years old. Domestic overseas Chinese Federation and Overseas Chinese Affairs Office and foreign embassies and consulates should take the lead as soon as possible to mobilize local alumni associations, Chinese students’ associations, fellow villagers’ associations, chambers of commerce and other organizations to form an anti-epidemic linkage network, and influence local communities and share China through this anti-epidemic network.

  His specific suggestions include: "First, establish a real-time updated information release platform for the isolation process and prevention and control requirements of returnees by governments at all levels and localities; The second is to launch the medical aid team with anti-epidemic experience in Wu Hanyou to open long-distance voluntary consultation for overseas Chinese, popularize the medical knowledge of epidemic prevention and control and provide remote diagnosis suggestions, and at the same time provide necessary psychological counseling for some small international students; Third, in terms of testing, China donated some kits for patients to test themselves, which is convenient for elderly overseas Chinese and small international students to test at home; The fourth is to introduce Chinese medicine into Canada and give full play to its unique advantages; The fifth is to mobilize the local Chinese community and form a volunteer team to help the international students to protect their basic life, including renting houses and delivering vegetables. "

  At present, the domestic anti-epidemic and emergency aid actions for overseas Chinese and overseas students have been launched.

  Fang Zhenyu told the reporter, "The multidisciplinary clinic of infection and inflammation in WeChat official account, wuhan union hospital now provides COVID-19-related consultation for Chinese at home and abroad free of charge to thank the Chinese at home and abroad who donated masks, protective clothing and other materials to wuhan union hospital."

  Facing the global epidemic, experts from China are also introducing the experience and lessons of China’s anti-epidemic without reservation, hoping that China’s experience will contribute to the global anti-epidemic.

  Qiu Haibo, a member of the expert group of the Central Steering Group and vice president of Zhongda Hospital affiliated to Southeast University, has been keeping close contact with doctors in Italy, the United States, Canada and other countries recently. He suggested to all countries that early detection, early diagnosis, early isolation and early treatment of mild patients in COVID-19, and the deployment of epidemic defense lines in community hospitals and communities are important aspects to cut off the source of infection, control the source of infection and cut off the route of transmission.

  Deliver epidemic prevention materials, open online clinic, and launch "Healthy Cloud Forum" & HELIP; … Thousands of waters in Qian Shan, separated by constant brotherhood. Fang Zhenyu said, "The overseas epidemic has spread, and China is rapidly gathering strength, and internal and external linkages have launched an overseas rescue operation. I believe we will be able to fight the epidemic side by side and overcome difficulties together!"

Freehand Rock Climbing, the masterpiece of Airborne Beijing Oscar, has infinite charm.

1905 movie network news The premiere of China, an award-winning masterpiece of the 91st Academy Awards, was held in Beijing last weekend. At the same time, nearly 100 IMAX advance screening activities were held nationwide, which won unanimous praise from the audience. At the same time, Alex Hornod, the protagonist of this film and the world-famous freehand rock climber, successfully concluded his trip to China last week.


During the two-day trip, Alex not only appeared at the China premiere of "Rock Climbing with Hands", but also parachuted into the Centennial Lecture Hall in Peking University and a rock climbing hall in Beijing, and had close interaction with members of Peking University Eagle Club, rock climbers represented by young actor Chun Li, and the China audience. In private, Alex visited the hutong with Beijing characteristics. Being a vegetarian, he even experienced a vegetarian meal in China. Alex, who lives a simple life, praised China’s vegetarian diet. "Freehand Rock Climbing" will be officially released on September 6, and the pre-sale is now fully open.


 

Alex interacted with rock climbing fans in China, and "Fei Fei" became a fan girl in Chun Li.


At the movie premiere in China last weekend, Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi, one of the directors of Freehand Rock Climbing, joined hands with Alex Hornod, the world’s first freehand rock climber, and led the audience to experience a thrilling adventure full of life wisdom and inspiration. Before the premiere, Alex Honore first parachuted into the Peking University Centennial Lecture Hall and appeared in the "First Lesson of School Opening" in Peking University, sharing his understanding of "Extreme Love" for the students on the spot and bringing a lively and interesting "First Lesson of School Opening" to the students of Peking University.

The next morning, Alex and Chun Li, a young actor, came to a rock climbing gym in Beijing to have a cordial interaction with rock climbing enthusiasts, and customized a set of "World Top Rock Climbing Tutorial" for Chun Li on the spot, and had a live discussion with the world’s number one rock climber, which made Chun Li become fascinated with excitement. Under the guidance of Alex, Chun Li tried a variety of climbing routes with different difficulty coefficients. Regarding why he chose rock climbing to challenge the high difficulty coefficient, Li Chun once said, "I think rock climbing is a good exercise. When climbing, it is a kind of cultivation for his body and mind. He will put aside all distractions and troubles and concentrate on doing one thing, because everyone is busy at work now, and it is really not easy to concentrate on doing one thing for a period of time." Alex, who is in the climbing venue, can be described as a "home game". In addition to teaching Chun Li climbing skills, he also brought a fancy climbing performance to the fans, which filled the whole climbing venue with joy and admiration.

 

Alex’s personal social media praised the journey of experiencing oriental characteristics as "incredible"


After completing the interaction with the audience and fans, Alex immediately experienced the hutong culture with Beijing characteristics and the vegetarian culture with China characteristics. Alex expressed his praise for the vegetarian food in China, and he had a special liking for the crystal bags in the menu, boasting that "I can eat ten". After the vegetarian meal, Alex appeared in imperial academy and Wudaoying Hutong, the famous tourist attractions in Beijing, and tasted the old Beijing soda and yogurt with Beijing characteristics. This series of experiences with great oriental charm excited Alex, who rarely came to China, and he recorded all his experiences and feelings in his personal social media — — "Special thanks to the host and excellent staff for creating this incredible journey for us", which shows that the China experience has made him feel a little relaxed and happy from the intensive work schedule.

 

Alex’s surprise airborne screening of the live big screen shocked the visual effects to drive the movie boom.


The last stop of Alex’s trip to China came to a movie theater where Rock Climbing with Hands was being shown that day. After the film screening, Alex suddenly appeared to ignite the enthusiasm of the audience, and the warm applause and cheers lasted for three minutes. Many rock climbers came to watch the movie at the scene, and these "rock friends" were lucky to have the opportunity to exchange experiences with rock climber Alex face to face. A 38-year-old "rock friend" asked Alex if he could climb the Cedar Rock in three years with protection if he continued his efforts. Alex expressed great confidence in this "rock friend": "Rock climbing is like everything else, and anything can be achieved with enough efforts." There was also an elderly audience at the scene who conveyed to Alex the exhortation and exhortation from the elders: "This sport is very dangerous, and life and death are in an instant. You must cherish your life so that you can achieve higher pursuits." This special exhortation expresses admiration for Alex’s face-to-face fear, life and death, and challenging the limits of human beings. At the same time, the words are also full of the warm care of the elderly for the young people.

In order to meet the audience’s high demand for watching movies, the second round of national screening activities was launched on August 31, and IMAX and Chinese giant screen versions were added. Many viewers were attracted by the more impactful pictures on the bigger screen, and praised them one after another: "Only IMAX is the only correct way to watch movies" and "This is a movie with the least number of blinks". The fighting spirit of continuous upward and extreme love conveyed in the film also infects every audience who walks into the cinema: "Ershua is still impressed by Alex’s almost crazy persistence, the kind of high altitude across the screen and the concentration without fear of death, which makes people sincerely sigh the determination and perseverance of dream catchers."

The 91st Oscar-winning film "Rock Climbing with Hands" will fully land in domestic cinemas on September 6th, and the film will be released simultaneously with IMAX and Chinese giant screen versions.
