　　With idolize’s behavior of fans becoming the talk of the mainstream public opinion field, another subculture circle "Chinese fan circle" has also gained increasing attention.

　　The most recent large-scale outing of the fan circle originated from the "227 Great Unity" and the AO3 wall incident. As the trigger of the incident, YiBo and Sean Xiao’s "Falling" attracted the attention of netizens on the fan creation platform AO3, and eventually the click rate exceeded one million, which surpassed its textual meaning and passively became the "first Chinese fan" on the AO3 platform.

　　"Falling" has been read 1.08 million times in AO3.

　　However, "227" not so much opened the "new world door" for ordinary netizens, but rather aroused some people’s consciousness: ordinary viewers who once thought they had nothing to do with the fan circle found that they had already watched or enjoyed the fan creation: The Romance of the Three Kingdoms is a fan of The History of the Three Kingdoms, and the second video of bilibili Film and Television Zone is a fan product, and the "Lady’s Character" was originally a fan creation.

　　Fan-creation videos are increasingly becoming a kind of "good quality and low price" drama promotion method in the entertainment industry: Weibo, the official of a drama, often rewards the starring photo and a small bonus, and calls on scissorhands to create fan-creation videos for the series.

　　And this has led to several other discussions:Is it fair that the creator’s "power generation for love" virtually becomes a cheap labor force of capital?Recently, the copyright platform took off a large number of fan videos on bilibili after the publicity period of the drama series, which also caused protests from the fan circle. Fan creators thought that the platform’s "kicking down the bridge" and "killing the donkey" made them chilling; However, from the perspective of copyright ownership, fan creation is indeed a vague area, and there is an objective risk of being removed from the shelf.

　　Although it has just been out of the circle, the "fan circle" has already become a creative force that cannot be ignored.Poisonous eyes (WeChat ID:youhaoxifilm）We interviewed AO3 volunteer clay balls, the operation team of fan creation mutual aid type account "Scissorhands TutuBot" and Chi Wan, a fan writer of Tanmei. They are typical individuals in the huge Chinese fan circle. Observing them will help us understand the operation mode of the fan circle-they are doing the necessary work to maintain the normal operation of the fan circle: classifying and sorting out the fans, and helping each other in video editing skills teaching; And most fundamentally, they represent the creation itself.

　　Fan writer Chimaru:

　　Write something for it to prove that I like it.

　　Chi Maru is a professional writer who spans the circle of fans-she has signed a contract with a certain platform to become the author of novels about Americans, and at the same time, she is also widely engaged in fan creation. The Japanese anime "Inuyasha" is Chimaru’s masterpiece of beauty-seeking fan culture enlightenment: "I watched" Inuyasha "in the third and fourth grades of primary school, but I don’t know why I came into contact with Sesshomaru and Inuyasha, two CP fans, probably because their images are long hair and beautiful, so I easily accepted this setting."

　　Then Chimaru began her fan creation career: primary school began to write fans for her favorite Russian singers, and after climbing the wall, she dabbled in more and more: two-dimensional, three-dimensional, real-life CP and even national personification.

　　For Chimaru, creating a fan is the way for her to prove her love: "Generally speaking, I have a favorite character, so I will need to get to know this person and then use my fan to complete its story.I think I have to write something for it to prove that I like it. "

　　Chimaru believes that the pleasure of writing a fan comes from the release of creative desire and the satisfaction of self-projection. "The pleasure of writing a fan is actually similar to the pleasure of writing an original novel with me-I have my own creative desire, and I express it. For example, the original work actually gives you fragments of Gundam or other models, and writing a fan is the process of putting Gundam together. "

　　Therefore, Chimaru doesn’t care much about the number of readers. She has become the "pillar" in the unpopular CP circle several times, and she is almost the only writer in the whole circle. "There were two RPS(real person slash, CP) I started, and few people produced grain at all. There were almost no messages in my articles on LOFTER, because generally speaking, your few readers have become relatives and friends, and relatives and friends generally praised you in the private chat window and shouted’ I still want to eat, I am so hungry’."

　　Cold circle CP is also called arctic circle CP.

　　Chimaru, who has more than 10 years’ creative experience with humanities, has also experienced the prosperity and decline of several creative platforms. Chimaru remembers that the post bar before 2008 was very suitable for the creation of the same person: "The post bar is actually very small, and the users are all old acquaintances you have chatted with for a long time, so there will be no strangers coming in, and the atmosphere will be very good." However, with the increase of blocked words and advertisements in the post bar after 2008, the phenomenon that the post floor was swallowed frequently for no reason made the user experience worse. "At that time, I basically didn’t write in the post bar."

　　Around 2013, LOFTER became popular in the same circle. "LOFTER’s tag function naturally forms various fan circles, and then there is hot feedback including what red heart and blue hand are (note: red heart and blue hand are small icons like and recommended on LOFTER, which are used by users as pronouns of like and recommendation), and fans’ encouragement to the author is obvious." Chimaru said.

　　However, around 2016 and 17, with the action of "Net", LOFTER began to strictly restrict external links and increase shielding words. "Your articles are easily blocked, and people have to start using graphite documents, simplified books and AO3 to insert external links." Chimaru said.

　　AO3, which is now a hot topic, has not yet become the main position of Chinese fan circle in Chimaru’s view. "The social activity positions I have observed in the fan circle may still be in LOFTER and Weibo, while AO3 is that two groups are slowly converging. One is the fans who have been mixing Europe and America for a long time, and they have long been used to using AO3; There is also a kind of people who are pushed outside by the action of Net Net, and slowly start to send some fan clips that may be blocked in Weibo in AO3, and gradually get used to sending full texts in AO3. "

　　As a post-1995 generation, Chimaru has not experienced the "forum era" of fan creation, but she learned from her older friends that they miss the fan creation atmosphere in the forum era more. Because the circle of peers at that time was more private and like-minded.

　　"When the fan circle goes public, the risk of being reported and being’ harmonious’ is increasing, and the whole creative space is indeed getting smaller.But I’m not sure if this thing can bring some consensus to the circle of peers-for example, don’t report it.——I don’t believe it anyway. I’m rather pessimistic.. "

　　The behavior of printing entity fan zhi, which was once popular in fan zhi circle, is becoming less and less common now. "People, including the original beauty-obsessed authors, actually have a paper-book complex, and they all want to publish books in particular, so they will feel very happy. But now the investigation is particularly strict, so maybe everyone is not very used to publishing paper books. " Chimaru said.

　　The author of Tanmei was sentenced to four years in prison for publishing a personal chronicle.

　　Chi Maru, who has written about celebrities and real people, also suffered from "a police officer in the rice circle": "When there is hip-hop in China, I wrote about GAI and Wu Yifan’s fans. GAI is attacking, Wu Yifan is suffering, and my tag directly hits Wu Yifan. Then Wu Yifan fans told me that you can’t tag Wu Yifan, but you should tag’ whatever you suffer’-it was my freedom to tag according to the truth, but I did.

　　“I feel very crazy inside.",late pill added," but I’m willing to respect the rules of mental derangement. Because to put it bluntly, I am not a fan, I just borrowed this character image. It seems that you borrowed a material from someone else’s house. If you don’t show a little respect to the owner of the house, isn’t it a bit arrogant? "

　　In Chimaru’s view, the Chinese fan circle has not yet created an innovative worldview like ABO in Europe and America, but there have been interesting small ideas. She believes that the aspect that reflects the creativity of Chinese fan circle is the integration of various entertainment phenomena in the creation of real people.

　　"For example, now I’m visiting the’ La Tread Group’ in Douban, where the fellow scholars are particularly interesting. For example, ten pairs of real CPs are locked in a room to play escape, and all kinds of stalks of stars are integrated in the middle, which is what I particularly like. It is no longer the scope of the text, but it is more media-integrated." Chi Maru once again stressed, "Generally speaking, playing with stalks is a particularly vital thing."

　　AO3 Volunteer: My strange knowledge has increased.

　　In the "227" incident, the performance of AO3 official Weibo account OTWComms(OTW Re-creation Organization) continued to be well received: when Sean Xiao fans questioned the issue of the same humanity scale, AO3 official Bokop introduced AO3′ s warning label function and said that the use of the form label meant "the reader will bear the consequences", so "the author doesn’t need it, and we don’t stipulate that any other form of extra warning must be used."

　　When AO3 was blocked, the official blog continued to update the progress of problem investigation; When AO3 users have suicidal thoughts due to emotional instability, AO3 volunteers leave a message to the suicides: "The creative freedom you expect will come true. Please wait until that day. Can you make an appointment with me?" These rational, gentle and decent messages have been forwarded 50,000 times on Weibo. The netizen sighed with emotion: "The more educated, the gentler, the more empathetic, the more compassionate, and the more valuable life."

　　OTW Re-creation Organization responded to the situation that users in Chinese mainland could not access AO3.

　　OTW and AO3 volunteers left messages to persuade depressed patients who tried to commit suicide.

　　Behind the highly acclaimed AO3 official blog in the incident are dozens of AO3 Chinese volunteers who have been busy for nearly a week. AO3, as a non-profit fan creation platform, largely relies on donations from users and voluntary work of volunteers to maintain its operation. The number of Chinese volunteers on AO3 platform is about dozens, mainly including tag administrators who are responsible for sorting out the tags of Chinese fan works, PAC volunteers who handle complaints, Weibo homepage operators, news translation volunteers and so on.

　　Clay Ball is an AO3 volunteer who is in charge of label management. She called February 29th when AO3 was blocked as "a day of disaster": "One week after the incident, there were people in our Chinese volunteers’ chat group all the time, and everyone had a day of upside down day and night, which was too tired."

　　During that special period, in addition to cooperating with the technical department to investigate network problems, as an open volunteer, Clay Ball was also busy dealing with the public opinion in Weibo. "A large number of people flocked to my Weibo, so I collected feedback in Weibo and replied to some private messages to calm everyone’s mood."

　　In the next few days, AO3 users committed suicide again. "There was a sister in 227 Chaohua. It seems that she had depression, and the AO3 incident triggered her suicidal thoughts. A group of volunteers advised the sister in private letters and comments overnight, but fortunately she finally persuaded her-although I have never suffered from depression myself, I actually quite understand their feelings." Said the clay ball.

　　This understanding comes from empathy-before becoming a volunteer of AO3, the clay ball was already a fan of the same circle who highly recognized AO3. Nowadays, the clay ball, which has just entered the university, has been exposed to fan culture since the sixth grade of primary school. "At that time, I was watching an animation. Since the original work has not been updated, I posted it and discussed it with everyone during the waiting window. I looked at my fan and then wrote a little myself. At that time, I began to have a concept of my fan’s work."

　　The opportunity for clay balls to contact AO3 is to read Harry Potter in sophomore year. Interestingly, she first became interested in the original work through her fan works: "At that time, when bilibili was painted, it happened that the video of Vodafone CP was recommended on the homepage-Voldemort and Lin Daiyu were the’ cults’ of Lalang, so I went to see a lot of Vodafone CP texts, and then I had the idea of going to see the original."

　　Fudai CP on bilibili

　　After reading the original work systematically, the way clay balls continue their fun is still the same person. "Because I especially like the role of Snape, and then I can make up for the regret of its ending in the original, I have read a lot of Snape-related fan works-not to make up for the regret of letting Snape live, but to make up for the regret that the original did not tell his story more completely."

　　As Harry Potter began to wander around Europe and America, clay balls "inevitably came into contact with AO3", and AO3′ s community atmosphere also gave clay balls a sense of belonging.

　　She introduced: "AO3′ s tag search system and mechanism is that no matter whether you are a big boss or a newcomer, as long as you hit the right tag when posting, and then this CP you are using has a certain degree of popularity, your work can be seen by many people. Therefore,AO3 is a good encouragement for new creators.;On the other hand, AO3 is not so strict, even a little abnormal censorship, and the fan creation inside will be more free.. "

　　During the busy high school life, clay balls began to create Harry Potter fans in English on AO3 on weekends. "At that time, I was still living on campus. Every weekend, I went home and turned on my computer. My mailbox was full of readers’ reminders. When I found that so many people wanted me to update, I wrote happily. In fact, the works written at that time are really not very well written now. I am very grateful to the earliest group of colleagues for giving me so much encouragement and not abandoning my grammar and various mistakes. "

　　While writing about the same person, the clay ball ball also spontaneously made some search engine evaluations for AO3, recited words in AO3 and other Amway words: "I just want to let everyone know that there is such a good platform, and how to create and search things on this platform, which is almost the same as some people like to share beautiful photos of their cats and dogs in Weibo."

　　When AO3 recruited Chinese volunteers again in March 2019, the clay ball naturally applied and joined this big family: "There is one kind, how to say it? The feeling of being admitted to your favorite university. "

　　This mysterious organization aroused the curiosity of the outside world after the "227 incident". "In early March, someone pretended to be AO3 volunteers to sell VPN, saying that I was the administrator of AO3 volunteers in China, and I managed more than 90,000 volunteers. We have more than 100 groups. Give us the money quickly. I’ll take you to climb the ladder-it’s very interesting. In fact, there are not tens of thousands of people in OTW headquarters. If Chinese volunteers are involved, they will probably float on dozens of such values." In the Chinese volunteer team, there are students who have no background of studying abroad but have good English, as well as overseas students, overseas Chinese, mixed-race children and even foreigners who have studied Chinese.

　　A small number of Chinese volunteers are faced with a huge amount of work: sorting out the tags of Chinese works of the same humanities on the AO3 platform. "Chinese fan tags are really messed up, and there are too many interesting things. For example, there are four types of our tags-fandom (fan circle), character (role), relationship (pairing) and freeform (other), and then an author mistyped all the tags of all categories. After finishing the author’s article introduction, he also said, my English is not good, I hope tag doesn’t. But it’s really cute. " Said the clay ball.

　　"Dealing with Chinese tags really lets us know a lot of amazing things," said clay balls. "The pit of Chinese rpf is really deep-It’s okay abroad. Foreign fans will bring the real names of the characters when they write rpf. However, because many fans in China tear CP powder, they don’t always bring their real names when writing rpf.In AO3, although there is no such worry, it is customary for them not to bring their real names, so volunteers need to guess through a series of clues. "

　　I have never sorted out the Chinese rpf labels, but a colleague who has handled such labels told her: "There is no mention of the name of the protagonist in an rpf from beginning to end, and he has to go through a series of clues to finally determine who this person is and successfully put this article in the correct tag."

　　Although the volunteers’ English level is good, the Chinese peer circle tag is extensive and profound, which often makes them feel difficult in translation. "Some words feel too normal in Chinese, but I don’t know how to translate them. When I look up information about some uncommon tags, I often feel that my strange knowledge has increased. Once before, I had to translate nearly 100 Ne Zha-related tags, and one of them was the enchantment beast-the thing that stood at the door of Nezha’s house. I really didn’t know how to translate this thing, so I had to pinyin it, and then the description in brackets explained it. "

　　On April 2nd, OTW started a new round of volunteer recruitment, which was different from the previous number of comments in Weibo. This time, it was quite lively and was forwarded by comments for thousands of times. Of course, most of the messages modestly said, "Sorry, my English doesn’t match, so I can only bend my waist in the comments."

　　Scissorhands spit bot: becoming a satellite connecting islands

　　"bot with Scissorhands" (hereinafter referred to as bot) was established at the end of 2018, when "bot" accounts rose on a large scale in Weibo. "Scissorhands" is a nickname for fan video creators. As the name implies, it is an account for fan video creators to spit, help each other and share materials.

　　Bot operates diligently, posting more than 44,000 blogs in more than two years. Every day, it forwards and shares the empty lens materials that may be used by scissorhands, the single material of some stars and some color matching and special effects techniques with high frequency words, which has become an important editing material transfer station and a platform for answering questions about editing.

　　"When I was brushing Weibo, I saw someone saying that I wanted a scissorhand to spit bot. This is a very attractive idea," bot said to the poisonous eyes. "Because,As scissorhands, we often encounter problems that are difficult to solve by ourselves, such as finding materials, making friends and broadening our horizons.If there is such a platform, I believe that the creative life of many scissorhands will be much simpler and happier. There just happened to be an idle Weibo account under the skin, which was set up conveniently. "

　　Image taken from Weibo @ Scissorhands Tucao bot

　　Bot’s self-positioning is "a bot that can help Scissorhands do more things, hoping to become a space for Scissorhands to talk and communicate freely." There is a word "deviant" in the top Weibo of bot, which comes from the game "Detroit: Changing People", implying that bot wants to be a gentle AI like Chloe on the main page of Detroit. "This positioning is the core. Maybe our operation mode has been adjusted according to the feedback from fans, but the core has never changed.Creation is not an island, because we are willing to be a satellite connecting every island."

　　Bot will not easily see the creator of the fan video: "It’s all wives who produce food with their hearts! Scissorhands should be able to better understand the efforts and efforts of others. A video has been watched in three to five minutes, but it may take half a month for Scissorhands to complete. The efforts behind Scissorhands are particularly understandable. It is precisely because of this understanding that scissorhands can often cross the powder gap and communicate sincerely with other scissors hands without prejudice, and appreciate and help each other. This is commendable. "

　　Bot was affectionately called "Scissors" by its 67,000 fans. It was once jointly operated by four operators, who called themselves "Four Little Swan". Although they each liked different stars and works, the four people were good friends in life. "I don’t think the fan attribute is a reason to hinder cooperation and communication. After all, there is no circle boundary in creation. We have never wanted the scissorhands circle to be affected by the rules of rice circles. We don’t need to define a person by fans.Attribute and membership are not so important, only one thing is the same for everyone: power generation for love and persistent creation.. "

　　Creating fan videos is a process of "visualizing dreams" in bot’s eyes: "Who wouldn’t want to turn their dreams into reality? Moreover, compared with writing and drawing, editing fan videos is more pure, and no one will interfere with your creation. Moreover, the visual and auditory enjoyment of videos can’t be achieved by other creative methods. The stories created are just like the truth, very happy, right? "

　　However, bot, which adheres to the beautiful vision that creation can transcend attributes, still has inevitable friction with the rules of rice circles. In the "227 Incident", one of the operators used the bot account to forward a content that boycotted Sean Xiao’s endorsement, which led to the siege of Sean Xiao fans. In the end, bot fired the operator, and the "four cygnets" became "three cygnets".

　　"We still have to explain this matter to her, not with personal feelings, but really with the wrong number. It is the common decision of the four of us to expel her. It is definitely sad to be sad. It is indeed a helpless move. We can only’ sorrowful and change’-we don’t care much about who our companions like and hate, but as a bot, it is the original sin to lose the skin on the wrong number.We have devoted our energy and enthusiasm, and we don’t want our bot to end up shut down because of something."

　　Two years of operating bot is full of happiness for them. "If fans think that the road to editing is really more relaxed and convenient because of our existence, then our goal has been achieved. In addition to the daily submission, we also have some game activities, such as "The Role Escaping Guess" and "The Blind Box of Lang Lang", which are interactive games designed according to the hobby direction of scissorhands. Sometimes, because the skin is busy, the time of playing games may not be so fixed. Every time we receive fans’ "Are there any games today?" "I haven’t played for a long time and miss them" in a private message, we will feel that we will be very satisfied and happy when we have brought happiness to others. "

　　Image taken from Weibo @ Scissorhands Tucao bot

　　Bot also admits that when he is busy, he simply "wants to abandon his number every day": "When he is busy with work and study, he still thinks about clearing manuscripts, and he has opened nearly 100 articles to be cleared in Weibo for submission, which is very big. There are still many problems that I want to vomit, such as submitting without reading the submission guide, reaching out to the party, submitting a lot of repetitive content, and bringing the rules of rice circles into the scissors hand circle. However, when I want to give up, I will think that many people will be sad. When I want to vomit, I may send some Weibo that fans can see, or vomit in the fan group, which often resonates with fans or gains some improvement opinions. "

　　Nowadays, the pressure faced by the fan video circle is not only the entanglement of rice circles, but also the copyright party’s control over fan videos. Many fan videos released in bilibili are often taken off the shelves by the copyright party in large numbers, which has hit many scissors’ enthusiasm for producing food. In this regard, bot thinks: "The copyright owner has the right to remove the fan video, and the scissorhands also have the right to refuse to edit certain works for some reasons.Using love to generate electricity doesn’t mean that scissorhands in the same circle can be free labor. Scissorhands can edit and promote favorite stars or film and television works out of love, but no one should be used.. "

　　@ Scissorhands Tucao bot’s Tucao Content

　　In bot’s view, creation is essentially to generate electricity for love, driven by interest, and the most important thing is that scissorhands produce happily. "If you give up what you like for various reasons from outside, then this kind of love may be a bit stale.We believe that the boundary of co-author creation and copyright issues will become more and more perfect in continuous practice.. "

　　tag

　　Before the "227" incident, most people only knew about rice circles, but didn’t realize that there was a Chinese fan circle that transcended the attributes of fans and existed based on the consensus of free creation for love. Facts have proved that although its structure is loose, it is real: there are volunteers to maintain order, there are mutual-aid accounts as porters of knowledge and resources, and there are many fan creators who exist for the creation itself rather than a specific star or work, and they continue to produce works.

　　When the values recognized by peers are offended, this force from subculture will come together and even shake the reputation of a top traffic star. As Scissorhands Tucao bot said, the "creators" seem to be isolated islands, but countless satellites connecting each island have been quietly running under the night.

    Original title: Jiangsu colleges and universities welcome new students one after another, and the class of 2024 "Meng Xin" opens a new journey-

    University, here we come!

    On August 24th, more than 4,000 freshmen from all over the world became "Dongda people". Photo by Li Liu

    Since August 23, many universities in Jiangsu have ushered in the "Meng Xin" in 2024. The old campus with rich background and the new campus with new appearance are full of vitality. When the freshmen step into the campus with their bags and longings, at this moment, it is both a dream come true and a new beginning.

    Go to your alma mater together, and strive for youth to meet here.

    What’s it like to be alumni with mom and dad? At the scene, some new students visited the campus with their parents who had studied and lived in the same school.

    "My father is more familiar with the Gulou Campus than I am. I live in Room 2 of Taoyuan, and he lived in Room 12 of Nanyuan." On the morning of 24th, in the Gulou Campus of Nanjing University, Ruiqi Luo from Korla, Xinjiang, took a walk with his father on campus as soon as he cleaned up his dormitory. "My father is a Nantah native. He has been telling me about Nantah since he was in primary school. Since then, I have had the desire to apply for NTU. " When volunteering, Ruiqi Luo chose NTU Intelligent System Integration Experimental Class without hesitation. In 1990, after graduating from the School of Earth Science and Engineering of Nanjing University, Luo Dad chose to return to Xinjiang to join the construction of the western region. After returning to his alma mater many years later, Mr. Luo and his son "searched for roots" in the Gulou campus. "I am in the northwest and my heart is in Nantah. I hope that children can study hard in Nantah and become pillars of society! "

    "This is Dongda Auditorium, which is the former Institute of Technology. We used to study in the evening here …" On the 24th, Hu Yonghua, who returned to her alma mater, introduced her daughter Hu Xiaoyu incessantly. He and his wife Zhu Ping are both alumni of Southeast University, and their daughter was admitted to the "English+Information Engineering" double-degree major this year. Coincidentally, Xu Jingheng, who studied in Nanjing No.29 Middle School with Hu Xiaoyu, was also admitted to this major, while Jamlom’s parents were alumni of Southeast University majoring in management science and engineering and regional economics in 2002.

    Returning to the campus with the children again, Xu Jingheng’s parents also recalled the lush years of that year. "At that time, I lived in Room 9, Wenchang, Sipailou Campus, and my wife’s dormitory was behind Liuyuan Hotel. At that time, I rode my bike from east to west with egg cakes to bring her breakfast every day …" Xu Dad said, smiling hard on his face. Xu Jingheng, who grew up listening to the "omelet story", designated Dongda as an ideal university in his freshman year of high school and kept fighting for it. "What touches me most is the unique cultural atmosphere of Dongda University. I hope to make more friends here and become a better self." Xu Jingheng said.

    Go back to the old campus to "seek roots" and go to the new campus to dream.

    Since Nanjing University started its "root-seeking school" in 2022, all the freshmen in the school have stayed in Gulou Campus. In Southeast University, 2,340 freshmen moved into the Sipailou campus this year, which is the first time in recent years that more than half of the freshmen reported to the campus.

    "Walking into the campus of Dongda University, walking into Wutong Avenue, what comes to my face is the profound cultural heritage!" "Have long heard of Neusoft Meian, finally saw it today. I hope that in the future, I can also’ chew the roots and do great things’. " During the welcome period, Southeast University opened the school history museum, Mei ‘an and Wu Jianxiong Memorial Hall, and carried out campus visits to let freshmen feel the cultural atmosphere of the 120 universities in the process of searching for the source. In front of Yongquanchi, the landmark building auditorium of Dongda University, the school also organized the activity of "Freshmen Parents Say". At the scene, freshmen and parents took the stage to express their wishes and hopes and cheer for a better future together. During the activity, freshmen also wrote a wish card "to themselves after four years" and sealed it for graduation.

    "Root-seeking" and "dream" are the key words on the day of registration. "We have noticed that many freshmen have special feelings for the Gulou Campus of Nantah. For example, Yang Zehao of Kaijia College, the first thing he did after reporting for the freshman training camp on August 19, was to punch in again with his photo taken with Peking University Building when he was 9 years old, thanking him for his fate with Nantah." Shi Jiahuan, deputy secretary of the Party Committee of NTU Freshmen College, told the reporter that the first year of college is a crucial period for freshmen to know the university, enter the discipline and start the future. Nanjing University has launched micro-resources for freshmen’s adaptive education, so that students can better integrate into the university, the city and the times. "Freshmen will set up their growth goals, understand the charm of the subject and find the right direction of their interests through the study of topics such as’ University and Mr. Da’,’ Adaptive Education for Freshmen’ and’ Yuhua Hong-the Power of Faith’." Shi Jiahuan said.

    In the brand-new Jiangnan University Jiangyin Xiakewan Campus, the first batch of 455 "Meng Xin" settled in. Simple architectural style and water landscape with Jiangnan flavor are in the same strain as those of Jiangnan University Headquarters and Yixing Graduate School, and various banners and signs welcoming new students can be seen everywhere. Freshmen of the School of Digital Technology and Creative Design also got many "small surprises"-from brand-new visual image design and visual expression based on college English abbreviations, to specially customized canvas bags and card sets, hand-drawn maps of Xiakewan Campus in Jiangyin, and to white paper fans that can be stamped, all of which reflect the sincerity and ingenuity of the college. "This university’ meeting ceremony’ is so interesting. I will study hard and hope to have my own design works in the future." Ding Wei, a freshman majoring in digital media art, said.

    Start new courses for new majors and cultivate new talents.

    The reporter learned that most of the freshmen in 2024 were born in 2006, and Southeast University welcomed the post-10 students.

    At the welcome scene of Dongda University, a 13-member "Xueba Group" attracted much attention. Tan Ruiqi from Fushun No.2 Middle School in Liaoning Province was the youngest of them. After three years in elementary school, two years in junior high school and two years in senior high school, Tan Ruiqi, who is only 14 years old, is the first post-10 s student in the history of Dongda University. "Learning itself is a very interesting thing. I enjoy every process of exploring the unknown, so I chose to take the college entrance examination in my second year of high school and want to invest the saved time in more creative university study." Tan Ruiqi said that when I was in primary school, portraits of scientists Qian Sanqiang and Li Siguang hung in the classroom, and I was moved after learning about their deeds. "I hope I can serve my country like them and be a useful person."

    When I first entered the campus, the dream of serving the country through science and technology was already in my heart. Just entering the Intelligent Manufacturing College of Jiangnan University (Junyuan College), freshman Song Zihan saw the robot that greeted them. "I liked robots very much when I was a child, and now I am very interested in new terms such as drones and autonomous driving. The Yangtze River Delta has a strong science and technology atmosphere, and I hope that I can also participate in the production of advanced robots in the future. "

    In order to cultivate future-oriented talents with new quality, many colleges and universities have implemented new training plans in the new semester. This autumn semester, the core course of artificial intelligence general education in Nanjing University, which has received much attention, officially set sail.

　　On March 25th, local time, the Jordanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Overseas Chinese Affairs condemned the Israeli authorities’ plan to build more than 1,000 houses in the West Bank and East Jerusalem. The department said that the new housing plan is a serious violation of international law, including Security Council resolution 2334.

　　The Israeli non-governmental organization Peace Now posted a message on its website on the 24th, saying that the Israel Land Administration Bureau recently announced a tender plan for the construction of 1,029 new houses in Jewish settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem. Among the newly-built settlement houses planned by Israel, 940 are located in Efrat settlement in the West Bank and Ilite settlement in Bertard, and 89 are located in Gilo settlement in East Jerusalem.

　　The new Israeli government, which was successfully formed at the end of 2022, made the expansion of Jewish settlements a priority task. (Headquarters reporter Zhu Yunxiang)

　　Chinese-style modernization in China is the result of long-term practice and exploration by the people of the Communist Party of China (CPC) and China, and it is a great and arduous undertaking. In the process of human modernization, it has set an example for the vast number of developing countries to move towards modernization independently and provided a brand-new choice; For human civilization, it shows a new picture different from the western modernization model, and it is a brand-new form of human civilization.

　　Correctly grasp and understand the historical view contained in Chinese modernization, see clearly why it succeeded in the past and how it can continue to succeed in the future, so as to unswervingly follow the road of Chinese modernization on the new journey and contribute more China wisdom and China’s programs to the process of world modernization.

　　China endows modernization with new connotation and significance.

　　Hard work, the vast fields are full of vitality; Dreaming of the world, the tide of scientific and technological innovation is surging; Tourism is warming up, consumption is picking up, and economic and social vitality is fully displayed … … China, which has come from the profound historical background and walked on the road of Chinese modernization, is full of vigorous development vitality and spiritual motivation to move forward bravely.

　　History marks the pace of China’s development with striking scales and accumulates rich connotations of Chinese modernization. In the long historical process, the Chinese nation, with its determination and will to strive for self-improvement, has gone through a development process different from other civilizations in the world.

　　Modernization is the dream that the Chinese nation has been striving for since modern times. Countless people with lofty ideals have tried hard and made various attempts, but they all ended in failure. The important task of exploring China’s modernization road has historically fallen on the Communist Party of China (CPC).

　　During the new democratic revolution, create fundamental social conditions for modernization; During the period of socialist revolution and construction, it laid a fundamental political premise and valuable experience, theoretical preparation and material foundation for modernization; The new period of reform, opening up and socialist construction has provided a new and energetic institutional guarantee and material conditions for rapid development for Chinese modernization. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought, the supreme leader in the new era, has been established, which has provided a fundamental basis for Chinese modernization. In-depth implementation of a series of major strategies, such as rejuvenating the country through science and education, strengthening the country through talents, and revitalizing the countryside, provides solid strategic support for Chinese modernization; Promoting a series of transformative practices, achieving a series of breakthrough progress and achieving a series of landmark achievements have provided a more perfect institutional guarantee, a more solid material foundation and a more active spiritual strength for Chinese modernization.

　　Since the founding of New China, especially since the reform and opening-up, it has taken China decades to complete the industrialization process that western developed countries have gone through for hundreds of years, creating a miracle of rapid economic development and long-term social stability, successfully stepping out of the Chinese modernization road, and opening up broad prospects for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. From the goal of "four modernizations" to the strategy of "three steps", from building a well-off society in an all-round way to building a powerful socialist modernization country, the exploration and practice of Chinese modernization have been deepened.

　　Eduardo Regalado, an expert on China at the Center for International Political Studies in Cuba, believes that since its establishment in 1921, the Communist Party of China (CPC) has made unremitting efforts to explore the road of modernization in China and promote the cause of modernization in China, and has made remarkable achievements.

　　"The realization of Chinese modernization was not built in a day." Benjamin anagrelide, Secretary General of Ghana China Friendship Association, said that the Communist Party of China (CPC) led the people of China to make unremitting efforts and keep forging ahead on the road of Chinese modernization.

　　In the early days of the founding of New China, China was poor, and the kerosene, matches and nails used for several days were all called foreign oil, matches and nails. In the new era, China has built a modern industrial system with complete categories, successfully entered the ranks of innovative countries, and become a hot spot for the application of emerging technologies and an important innovation highland in the world.

　　In the early days of reform and opening-up, when introducing China, Time magazine of the United States wrote doubtfully: Is there such a precedent for a quarter of the world’s population to quickly get rid of isolation and connect with the world? In the new era, China has become the main trading partner of more than 140 countries and regions. China-Europe trains have reached more than 200 cities in 25 European countries, and the "Belt and Road Initiative", global development initiative, global security initiative and global civilization initiative have been jointly built to benefit the world.

　　"Chinese-style modernization shows the world the possibility of developing countries exploring modernization independently and achieving rapid development." Andrei Wiener Gradov, director of the Center for Political Research and Prediction at the Institute of China and Modern Asia, Russian Academy of Sciences, said.

　　Through the long lens of the world’s modernization process, we can see the uniqueness of the Chinese modernization road.

　　Modernization began in the west and was once equated with westernization. Historically, many developing countries have fallen into development difficulties because of copying the western modernization path when looking for their own development path.

　　Chinese-style modernization does not take the old road of being closed and rigid, the evil road of changing the flag and changing the flag, and the dead end of completely westernizing. British political commentator carlos martinez said that China is carrying out peaceful, sustainable and just modernization, which is a valuable contribution to the collective understanding of mankind. Chinese modernization "shows the world that there is more than one road to modernization".

　　Former Serbian President boris Tadic believes that the western society in the 21st century is facing multiple challenges, which fully shows that modernization is not equal to westernization, and China has given modernization new connotation and significance.

　　Take the development path suitable for your own characteristics

　　History is the best teacher. It faithfully records the footprints of every country and provides inspiration for the future development of every country.

　　The Communist Party of China (CPC) has strengthened its historical self-confidence and historical initiative, and constantly created new historical achievements: winning the tough battle against poverty as scheduled, building a well-off society in an all-round way, achieving the goal of the first century, and embarking on a new journey of building a socialist modern country in an all-round way.

　　This is a modernization road with China characteristics based on China’s national conditions.

　　There is no precedent in the world to lead a big country with a population of more than 1.4 billion into modernization as a whole. Insisting on combining the basic principles of Marxism with the concrete reality of China and the excellent traditional Chinese culture, and promoting the coordinated development of material civilization, political civilization, spiritual civilization, social civilization and ecological civilization, China has created a new road of Chinese modernization and a new form of human civilization.

　　The unique cultural tradition, unique historical destiny and unique national conditions have doomed China to take a development path suitable for its own characteristics. China stepped out of such a road and achieved success. Samir Ahmed, a Jordanian writer who has visited China many times, sincerely lamented: "Chinese modernization has fully considered its own national conditions and development experience, and has not copied the western modernization road, and has been continuously enriched and developed in practice."

　　Martin jacques, an expert on China in Britain, believes that China has its own unique cultural tradition, population size and social system, and it is impossible to copy the modernization road of the West. China has made great achievements in development, and has formed a more mature theory about what modernization should be pursued and how to realize it.

　　This is a road to modernization led by the Communist Party of China (CPC).

　　"There were many difficulties, some of which were unprecedented, but we did it." The heroic and calm declaration shows the deep self-confidence coming from the depths of history. No matter how the situation and tasks change, no matter what kind of stormy waves are encountered, the Communist Party of China (CPC) has always grasped the historical initiative, anchored the goal of struggle, and moved forward firmly in the right direction. The people of the Communist Party of China (CPC) and China are fully confident of providing China’s plan for human beings to explore a better social system.

　　In the late 1980s and early 1990s, the international socialist movement suffered setbacks, and the "final conclusion of history" and "theory of socialist failure" were rampant. Adhering to the Communist Party of China (CPC)’s leadership and unswervingly taking the road of Socialism with Chinese characteristics, China has won great victories in reform, opening up and socialist modernization, and opened a new era in Socialism with Chinese characteristics. Fukuyama, an American scholar who once put forward the "final conclusion of history", revised his view: "‘ China model ’ The effectiveness proves that western liberal democracy is not the end of the evolution of human history. "

　　The article on the website of Modern Diplomacy in Europe pointed out that the Communist Party of China (CPC) and China continued to explore the road of Socialism with Chinese characteristics while persisting in reform and opening up. "Chinese modernization presents a more confident image."

　　This is a people-centered road to modernization.

　　Modernization depends not only on the index data on paper, but also on the happiness and well-being of the people. As soon as the Communist Party of China (CPC) was born, he made it his initial mission to seek happiness for the people of China and rejuvenation for the Chinese nation.

　　In Daliangshan, Sichuan, the villagers in the "Cliff Village" above the cliff got rid of poverty and started a new life; On the streets of Shenzhen, more than 1,200 parks allow citizens to push the window and see the garden; In Wuxi, Jiangsu, the elderly can enjoy medical services such as home treatment and medical insurance reimbursement without leaving home … … China people’s sense of acquisition, happiness and security is more substantial, more secure and more sustainable.

　　According to Pakhin Balakul, president of Thailand-China Cultural and Economic Association and former president of the National Assembly, Chinese-style modernization is an unprecedented great development model, committed to making everyone live a good life. Yala Vidal, a columnist of Brazil’s Tribune magazine, wrote that Chinese-style modernization follows the people-centered development thought to ensure that the fruits of development benefit all the people more fairly.

　　Pay attention to the future and destiny of mankind from the perspective of the world

　　"A great pioneering work in the history of human development" and "Great contribution to the cause of human progress" … … From the time depth of human development to the spatial breadth of global development, the international community highly praises the world significance of Chinese modernization.

　　The Communist Party of China (CPC) not only strives for the happiness of the people of China and the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, but also strives for the progress of mankind, seeks great harmony in the world, and contributes to solving the common problems faced by mankind and promoting the construction of a better world.

　　Looking back, Chinese-style modernization has contributed to the development of the world with the achievement of "miracle".

　　38.6%— — This is the average contribution rate of China to the world economic growth from 2013 to 2021, ranking first in the world and exceeding the sum of the contribution rates of the G7 countries.

　　More than 70% — — This is the proportion of China’s poverty reduction population in the global poverty reduction population since the reform and opening up. China eliminated absolute poverty in an all-round way and achieved the poverty reduction goal set by the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development 10 years ahead of schedule.

　　247.1%— — This is 1990— The actual contribution rate of China to the world forest carbon sequestration capacity in 2016. Since the beginning of this century, about 1/4 of the newly added green area in the world has come from China. The installed capacity of hydropower, wind power, solar power and biomass power generation in China ranks first in the world.

　　"The achievements of Chinese modernization are shared by the world and have made important contributions to world peace and better and more balanced development." Former Bolivian President Morales stressed.

　　So far, the total population of industrialized developed countries and regions is less than 1 billion, and most developing countries have not yet crossed the threshold of modernization. The modernization of China’s population of more than 1.4 billion will be an unprecedented event in the history of human development.

　　Isabel Delean, editor-in-chief of Manila Bulletin, said that China has embarked on a development path that suits its national conditions. As the second largest economy in the world, China continues to promote high-quality development, which is conducive to stimulating regional economic growth and injecting strong impetus into the prosperity and development of the world economy.

　　Pakistan’s "Diplomatic Insight" magazine website said that the Chinese-style modernization road is unique and provides another path for human beings to learn from. In the face of global challenges, Chinese modernization has contributed valuable Chinese programs and Chinese strength.

　　Looking at the road to the future, Chinese-style modernization will add momentum to global development and prosperity with the attitude of the world in mind.

　　In the preface to the Chinese version of the first volume of Modern World System published in 1998, immanuel wallerstein, an American sociologist, predicted that the people of China would play an important role in the historical process of determining the common destiny of mankind.

　　Today, China promotes the high-quality construction of the "Belt and Road" and builds a popular platform for global public goods and international cooperation; Launching a global development initiative with the support of more than 100 countries and international organizations including the United Nations; Promote the implementation of the Global Security Initiative, issue the Concept Document of the Global Security Initiative, and provide China’s plan for promoting the common security of mankind; Put forward the global civilization initiative to inject powerful positive energy &hellip to promote the process of human modernization and build a community of human destiny; …

　　Perimony, a researcher at the French Schiller Institute and an expert on international issues, said: "A very important point in China’s development philosophy is to achieve mutual benefit and win-win results with all countries in the world and work together to build a community of human destiny."

　　The great changes that the world has never seen in a century have accelerated its evolution, and the world has entered a new period of turmoil and change. China promised: "We will always closely link our own destiny with the destiny of the people of all countries, strive to provide new opportunities for world development with new achievements in Chinese modernization, provide new assistance for human exploration of the road to modernization, and make new contributions to the theoretical and practical innovation of human social modernization."

　　Only those who keep pace with history and share the fate with the times can win a bright future. On the new journey, the Communist Party of China (CPC) will always pay attention to the future and destiny of mankind from the perspective of the world, correctly understand and handle the relationship with the outside world from the general trend of human development, the general pattern of world changes and the great history of China’s development, firmly stand on the right side of history, stand on the side of human civilization and progress, and jointly push the wheel of history forward towards a bright future.

　　Zhongxin Jingwei Client May 11th (Luo Di Yan Shuxin) Recently, a new regulation in Xiangzhou District of Zhuhai City caught fire, and countless netizens scrambled to transfer it to a circle of friends, just needing to manually lead Aite himself. What happened? Read the following quickly.

　　"After work, WeChat group is forbidden to send work messages" screen.

　　On April 28th, Xiangzhou District, Zhuhai City, Guangdong Province officially issued "Measures for Solving Prominent Formalism Problems in Xiangzhou District to Reduce the Burden at the Grassroots Level", in which standardizing the WeChat working groups and new media account management of all units, towns and streets in Xiangzhou District is one of the 28 measures, including establishing only one working group for one unit in principle, and making speeches with contents not allowed to be screened at will, not releasing work information after working hours in principle, and dissolving the WeChat group formed due to special work in time after finishing work.

　　Once the above-mentioned documents were published, Weibo and other social media quickly launched a big discussion about "Wechat Group is forbidden to send work news after work", and netizens expressed their support in succession, arguing that it should be popularized throughout the country and strive to get out of the "misery" as soon as possible.

　　However, some netizens are worried about whether this regulation can really be implemented. After all, "there are policies above and countermeasures below".

　　Young people "kidnapped" by WeChat working group

　　Some people say that the WeChat work group is like a "tightening spell". As long as the sound is prompted, it will be "tight."

　　Zhou Linlin is an art teacher in a private school. According to the school regulations, all the information of the work group must be replied within two hours, and if it is during office hours, it is required to reply within one hour. This led her to keep her mobile phone all day, and was once diagnosed by doctors with tenosynovitis and cervical spondylosis.

　　"Some posts have urgent tasks that require such a timely reply, but I can’t think of anything that must be solved within two hours for teachers, especially for art teachers." Zhou Linlin said that as an art teacher, she also spends a lot of time on oil painting in her spare time. At this time, she usually wants to be in a quiet environment instead of being interrupted by the sound of new news from time to time.

　　In addition to being notified by Aite, you must reply as soon as possible. Once the leader issues a notice in the group, you must reply "received", even if the notice has nothing to do with yourself.

　　In this regard, Liu Na also has a deep understanding. Liu Na works as a copywriter in an advertising company in Shanghai, working from nine to five, which seems relaxed.

　　"This is just the appearance. It is said that I get off work at five o’clock, but it is twelve o’clock in the evening. The leaders are still talking about their work in the group, and they will greet you from time to time. The key is that some work is not so anxious, and you can wait until the next day to communicate. " Liu Na said that he was once led by Aite at four o’clock in the morning, and then he couldn’t sleep well for several days, dreaming and working.

　　"I really want to send that regulation in Xiangzhou District to the work group, and then Aite will lead it." Liu Na said.

　　When I resigned, I left more than 100 groups, and the whole world was clean.

　　Chloe Wang used to work in a rental platform in Beijing. Before she resigned, there were as many as 100 working groups in her mobile phone.

　　"From morning till night, the WeChat messages in the work group never stopped, and all kinds of people were Aite. Once they replied to the message later, the voice phone called." Chloe Wang complained.

　　Chloe Wang said that since he got this job, he has lost his life.

　　Like most colleagues, Chloe Wang needs to ride an electric car to shuttle back and forth between several communities in Beijing every day. "We are in the field, and according to the requirements of the leaders, we need to sign in and sign out at 9: 00 am and 7: 00 pm. Although I get off work at seven o’clock, I still work on WeChat after ten o’clock in the evening, and they don’t care whether you are eating or not. As long as Aite is with you, you have to deal with it. "

　　What makes Chloe Wang unbearable is that even the only day off every week can’t escape the bombing of the news of the work group. "Because of this, my girlfriend almost broke up with me."

　　Chloe Wang recalled that he once made an appointment with his girlfriend to watch a movie together. Less than half an hour after the movie started, the WeChat phone rang, so that he had to leave early. "She turned her face at that time, but I couldn’t help it. The other party was like a death warrant."

　　Later, Chloe Wang resigned. "It’s not entirely for love. I’m really fed up with this working state and have no personal time at all." Chloe Wang said.

　　After resigning, the first thing Chloe Wang did was to quit these more than 100 work groups. "Without these work groups, I feel that the whole world is clean."

　　Because I didn’t want to forward the work WeChat, some people resigned and some people were opened.

　　Sardonar Lee, born in 1990s, previously worked in a media and cultural company. To outsiders, the salary and benefits are acceptable, and she is close to home, which is a rare and ideal job. But in March this year, Sardonar Lee resigned from this company because he "never wanted to forward work-related information in the WeChat circle of friends again".

　　It is understood that Sardonar Lee works as a visual designer in this company, and the leaders require all employees to forward all kinds of dynamic information of the company every day. "Where the leader won an award and talked about a customer, he must forward it to the circle of friends."

　　Sardonar Lee said that she has been working hard, but because she doesn’t like to forward work-related information in her circle of friends, she has been criticized by her leaders for her lack of team consciousness.

　　"Even, I can clearly feel that people who work overtime in the circle of friends every day get more appreciation from the leaders and get promoted and raised faster than those who really work overtime." Sardonar Lee said.

　　Although some colleagues around Sardonar Lee have adopted the practice of "having policies on the top and countermeasures on the bottom", that is, making work information visible only to leading colleagues, Sardonar Lee does not think that this will solve the problem.

　　"I hope to work in a transparent and fair working environment, and everyone really does things well, instead of focusing on these things." Sardonar Lee said that in fact, she doesn’t completely reject forwarding work-related information from her heart, provided that the information is interesting or useful. She also hopes that she won’t force herself to send a circle of friends to promote the company in her next job.

　　Coincidentally. At the end of last year, a woman in Lu ‘an, Anhui Province, said that she was recruited to join a media company through the Internet. After working for about three weeks, she was told to go to the company for resignation the next day. The woman rushed to the company to ask and was told that she had not sent a circle of friends related to the company during her work.

　　In the comment area of this article in Weibo, many netizens complained that their company not only asked to send a circle of friends to advertise for the company, but also had to take screenshots to the leaders, and if they didn’t send a circle of friends, they would have to deduct their wages.

　　After reading these, do you think it is necessary to promote the above new regulations?

　　(In order to protect the privacy of the interviewee, Zhou Linlin, Liu Na, Chloe Wang and Li Hui are all pseudonyms.)

　　"In the land of runes, magic is everything." This is a competitive online game operated by tencent games — — The first sentence in the background setting of League of Legends.

　　League of Legends is an e-sports game that is popular all over the world. In the game, players need to fight side by side in the Summoner’s Canyon, and finally win by turning map resources into team advantages. In reality, there is a road to the rise of a city, which coincides with the way to win this game.

　　From the "land of runes" to the southernmost city in Sichuan, China, people deeply feel that "canyons" and "rifts" actually hide "opportunities" — — Panzhihua is the only city named after flowers in China, which was born in the national third-line construction. This city opened the door of "building a complete industrial system by self-reliance" in China in the Panxi Rift Valley. Therefore, people also call Panzhihua a "hero city".

　　Two "heroes", one galloping in the online world, the other rushing in the years. This winter, the 18th League of Legends Urban Heroes Competition will be held in Panzhihua. At that time, two "heroes" will form an alliance and hand in hand present a "feast" about "heroes".

　　Urban landscape and game map

　　— — Clever "fit"

　　Panzhihua is located in the transition zone between Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, with extremely diverse landforms.

　　"chinese national geography" once described Panzhihua as follows: a series of mountains running nearly north-south — — The Hengduan Mountains in the west, the Daliangshan Mountains in the east, and the Big Snow Mountain in the north, together with the large and small mountains in between, are mountainous and shoulder to shoulder. According to rough statistics, Panzhihua’s mountains account for more than 90% of the city’s total area, and it is a veritable "mountain kingdom."

　　There are towering mountains and "heroic" water. As the main stream of the Yangtze River, the deep mountains along the Jinsha River have turned into a zigzag bend, and many rivers such as Anning River, Dahe River and Sanyuan River shuttle between mountains like capillaries, shaping numerous canyons and valleys along the way.

　　League of Legends seems to have found the realistic projection of "Summoner Canyon" in Panzhihua.

　　Summoner’s Canyon is a map in League of Legends. In the background story of the game, it is said that the most majestic battlefield of the latest wave is "Summoner Canyon". There are three different roads running through the whole battlefield, and there are magical forces everywhere.

　　Panzhihua city is distributed in a strip shape along the Jinsha River, with a length of 20 kilometers from east to west, a width of 1-2 kilometers from north to south, and even less than 500 meters at the narrowest point. Panzhihua Avenue, Jinshajiang Avenue and Gangcheng Avenue run through the urban area. In the three-dimensional space, the city is constantly spreading from the river bank to the heights of the mountains, overlapping layers and bringing its own "canyon scenery".

　　Interestingly, the Jinsha River runs through the city, dividing the main city of Panzhihua into two areas: Jiangnan and Jiangbei, which just correspond to the red and blue camps in the League of Legends map.

　　Let’s imagine such a scene: when the player puts down the mouse, logs off from cyberspace and walks out of the arena of the urban hero competition, he suddenly finds that his city is actually a more grand "summoner’s canyon". Is this link between online games and reality full of "magic power"?

　　Summoners all over the country and even the world, welcome you to punch in the "Summoner Canyon" in the real world.

　　Urban Spirit and the Connotation of E-sports

　　— — Common "background color"

　　League of Legends is not only a game but also a sport.

　　At the 19th Asian Games in Hangzhou, e-sports made its debut as a formal competition for the first time. E-sports has long been not only an entertainment activity for a group of young people to sweat in the virtual world, but also a fusion of enthusiasm and competition.

　　An ordinary person can be a fruit vendor, a takeaway rider, a taxi driver, a breakfast shop owner and a construction worker … … But when he entered the world of League of Legends and teamed up with other players to fight in the land of runes, he was the "hero" who appeared. Every player with the title of "hero" on his head needs to overcome difficulties and climb towards victory through continuous efforts and struggles.

　　In this sense, "hero" is not a title, but a mission. Players are like this, and so are cities.

　　As a new industrial city in the southwest of New China, the construction and development of Panzhihua has always been closely linked with the national mission.

　　Zhong Shaoxi, a native writer in Panzhihua, wrote in the article "Mao Zedong and Panzhihua Development and Construction" that the idea of building a steel plant in Panzhihua began in early 1958. At that time, there was no large-scale steel base in the western part of China, which was very unfavorable to the development of heavy industry in the western part, and the development of rich mineral resources in Panzhihua was urgently needed for the development of steel industry in China.

　　On March 4, 1965, after receiving the written report on the preparation and work plan of Panzhihua Special Zone submitted by Lv Dong and Chi Xu, President Mao Zedong immediately instructed that "this piece is very good". Panzhihua was thus listed as the focus of "third-line construction". Later, Premier Zhou Enlai personally took the lead in arranging the specific work of Panzhihua development and construction. Builders from all over the country poured into the deep mountain valley at the junction of Sichuan and Yunnan, and a legend of China’s urban development began.

　　Since then, through the arduous efforts of several generations, the heroic Panzhihua builder has built a new industrial city full of vitality, uniqueness and great potential in the desolate Panxi Rift Valley.

　　On December 22nd, 2022, "Opinions of Sichuan Provincial People’s Government of Sichuan Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China on Supporting Panzhihua’s High-quality Development and Building a Common Prosperity Experimental Zone" was issued, which marked that Panzhihua has entered a new stage of development.

　　Panzhihua once again shoulders the national mission. This time, he will explore the path, create experience and provide samples for Sichuan to achieve common prosperity with practical actions of high-quality development.

　　Climbing is the common background of "heroes".

　　Urban development and industrial layout

　　— — Win-win "track"

　　Half of the netizens in the world are e-sports gamers.

　　In 2022, the global e-sports population will grow to 2.47 billion, accounting for 48.3% of the global netizens.

　　The world’s largest and fastest-growing e-sports market is China.

　　In 2022, China’s e-sports industry revenue was 144.503 billion yuan, and the e-sports population was about 488 million, ranking first in the world.

　　Gamers in China have become the ultimate winners in more and more international e-sports competitions.

　　Want to win, not only clubs and enthusiasts, but also cities aiming at the "new track".

　　The person in charge of Tencent’s e-sports said that the semi-finals and finals of the 18th League of Legends Urban Heroes Competition were held in Panzhihua, which was the first time that Tencent had entrusted its major e-sports events to prefecture-level cities. Judging from past experience, the successful landing of the competition is expected to bring new traffic to the city and release new kinetic energy for the development of the cultural tourism industry.

　　People flow, logistics and consumption … … This is the event bonus. When Panzhihua decided to incorporate e-sports into the urban industrial map, the expected return was obviously more.

　　Smart parking makes urban management more refined, data flow makes mines smarter, and e-government cloud makes people run less errands … … In recent years, with data as the core element, Panzhihua has promoted the deep integration of next-generation information technologies such as the Internet, big data and artificial intelligence with the real economy, and new products and applications of the digital economy have blossomed everywhere.

　　E-sports competition is a new outlet of digital economy, and Panzhihua naturally doesn’t want to miss it.

　　In 1965, Panzhihua became the first special zone for resource development in New China. Before 1987, it was called Dukou City. Since 1965, she is 15 years older than Shenzhen; Since 1987, she is seven years younger than Shenzhen.

　　Similarly, youth is also the "key word" of e-sports.

　　In a young city, hold a young competition. This not only promotes the brand image of Panzhihua city, but also attracts the active participation and extensive attention of young people from all over the country, injecting new vitality into the city. An e-sports "new IP" will become Panzhihua’s "youth business card"; A new format of "e-sports+"may become the engine for Panzhihua to sail to the "New Blue Ocean".

　　Competitors target Model Y

　　According to the reporter’s understanding, "Friend", as the fourth model of Lantu, will be launched in the third quarter of this year.

　　For Lantu, this model will bear an important volume task. Lu Fang, CEO of Lantu Automobile, has also emphasized many times before that Lantu’s bosom friend will have strong market competitiveness in Sandian, cockpit, smart driving, etc., and will help Lantu Automobile sales increase, from the "second generation" to the first camp in the market.

　　From the known product performance and size, Lantu’s confidant may enter the medium-sized pure electric SUV market, which is currently the most competitive market.

　　According to the above-mentioned sources, the main competitor of Lantu’s soulmate will be Tesla Model Y. In terms of sales, Tesla sold more than 600,000 vehicles in the Chinese market last year, of which Model Y was the main model. This year, in Quarter 1, Model Y sold more than 100,000 vehicles in the Chinese market.

　　In addition, Xiaopeng G6, NIO L60, Zhiji LS6 and other models are all focused on this track, and it is not easy to grab a share in this market segment. For Landscape’s bosom friend, entering the mainstream household pure electric SUV market requires excellent product strength. At the same time, Landscape’s bosom friend is the first global car after Let’s VOYAH’s "Common Landscape" overseas strategy, which means that Landscape’s product strategic positioning is not only in the domestic market.

When many car fans start to understand their models, they can’t help but wonder why many of their models have their own car logos? Indeed, the vast majority of car companies will make their models use a unified car logo to build brand perception, but at this point they are unique!

In fact, nearly 70% of the models in Japan have independently designed logos. The reason is that they place a high degree of emphasis on their own image, so they are willing to spend a lot of effort to design logos that match the models one by one. Without further ado, let’s take a look at the various car logos.

Not long after the beginning of the Year of the Tiger in 2022, the right and wrong of the entertainment industry are dizzying, and some are deeply surprised, but the divorce of Huang Xiaoming and Yang Ying has not attracted people’s attention the most, because from the history of Yang Ying’s life, it is also expected. Because from Angelababy’s emotional experience and the many ex-boyfriends she has, we can understand why Huang Xiaoming and Angelababy divorced, and why their divorce is expected

Yang Ying, a native of Shanghai, was born in 1989. One of her grandparents is of German descent. It can be said that she is a quarter of mixed race.

Her parents live and work in Hong Kong and usually have no free time to spend with her, so Yang Ying spent her childhood living with her grandmother in Shanghai.

When she reached the age of puberty, because she was slim and cute, more and more boys pursued her. There was once a boy who handed her a piece of tissue paper with Yang Ying’s name written on it, which made her heart move, but this boy was not her favorite, because she also had her own crush, and she was a boy who played basketball very well. She had a crush on this boy for half a year.

During this period of secret love, Yang Ying could be said to have deeply felt the heartbeat of love, willing to do everything for the boy she liked, as long as it was a boy’s thing, she had a special feeling. Later, the boy finally paid attention to her and started dating, from then on, Yang Ying officially started the girl’s first love mode.

However, both of them were still very young after all, and they didn’t know much about the world. They only had a simple relationship. This relationship was heartwarming and pure.

The second true love affair began when Yang Ying was brought to Hong Kong by her parents and met Wei Shizong. After Yang Ying arrived in Hong Kong, she entered Notre Dame College to study and met Wei Shizong, a senior who was one year older than Yang Ying.

Wei Shizong is a rich second generation. He wears glasses, handsome but not handsome, but it makes Yang Ying moved. The two of them are sweet and sweet together, but this relationship also ended with Wei Shizong’s graduation, and it only lasted for one year.

The end of this relationship changed Yang Ying’s mind. She didn’t have the heart to study seriously, because in the bustling world city, everything fascinated her, so she began to want to make money and get ahead. But this made it really difficult for ordinary girls without any background, especially in a metropolis like Hong Kong.

However, Yang Ying had her own ideas and considerations, and she found a path that suited her – to become a model. She took photos and sent them to the agency, hoping to get the recognition of others and strive for more opportunities through her own efforts.

Her hard work paid off, and her efforts finally paid off. A man named Zhou Yougen took a fancy to her, and she had a rich fashion circle and resources. She was like a talent scout, digging up many newcomers, and later with her help, they all changed their fates, such as Liang Luosi, Liang Luosi, Li Zekai, etc.

Since she was discovered by Zhou Yougen, Yang Ying signed a contract with her, and since then she has embarked on the route of Japanese photo models that are loved by post-80s and post-90s otaku. In order to increase Yang Ying’s popularity and let everyone know, in 2005, under Zhou Yougen’s recommendation, Yang Ying became the host of a children’s show.

That is, during the period of becoming a children’s show host, the third love affair quietly came to Yang Ying.

Since her debut, Yang Ying has dressed up avant-garde. In 2007, during the performance of Jay Chou’s World Tour in Hong Kong, Yang Ying, as a dancer, danced hot on the stage and showcased her personality. Since then, Yang Ying has become more well known to people.

Soon, rumors spread about Yang Ying and Jay Chou. Although Yang Ying and Chan Wei Ting did not have a public relationship, people familiar with them knew that there were also good people who gossip about Yang Ying and Jay Chou with Chan Wei Ting in person. Zhou Wei Ting not only pretended to be calm, but also said that Zhou Dong was a person with good taste, and that he could take a fancy to Angelababy, which showed that Angelababy was good.

In order to improve Yang Ying’s quality, Zhou Yougen sent her to Japan. Let her manage her personal image in Japan, and sign a Japanese company to develop in Japan.

In fact, Yang Ying is not a weak person. In order to develop, she worked hard in Japan alone, shooting MVs in Japan, publishing photos, and participating in various variety shows.

When Yang Ying was gaining popularity in Japan, she spent a week with her in Japan. After Xiong Dailin returned to Hong Kong, she became a first-line supermodel through Zhou Yougen’s operation, and may become the inner boss of "King of Heaven" Guo Fucheng. All kinds of resources are tilted towards her, and the development prospects are great.

This also inspired Yang Ying to return to Hong Kong for development. Under the operation of Zhou Yougen, Yang Ying returned to Hong Kong and began Xiong Dailin’s path of replication.

After Yang Ying came back, Xiong Dailin and Yang Ying became sisters in the circle. They participated in the activities, and they both had you and me. They helped each other and supported each other.

"Hanada 2010", the two joined the cast together

There are rumors that during the filming process, Yang Ying and Zheng Zhong****** an ambiguous relationship, and people saw them often sticking together. Even after the filming task ended that day, the two also used text messages to communicate.

In order to please Yang Ying, Zheng Zhongji would try every means to make Yang Ying happy. He would try his best to buy clothes that Yang Ying liked and give them to her. There were rumors about the two of them, which spread in and out of the circle, but unfortunately, Zheng Zhong****** already married Ah Sa secretly, but it was not made public.

Coincidentally, Yang Ying and Huang Xiaoming met, and they were also destined for the movie. At that time, Huang Xiaoming played the role of "Huang Liang", an apprentice of Ip Man in "Ip Man 2". Later, Huang Xiaoming traveled to Hong Kong and met Yang Ying under the hospitality of Huang Zihuan, the screenwriter of "Ip Man 2". Entertainment reporters at the time also rumored that Yang Ying and Huang Xiaoming were in love and had a good conversation, and they also found that the two disappeared from everyone’s sight for two hours.

In the face of the rumors, Yang Ying said that they were all made up by entertainment reporters, and that meeting Huang Xiaoming was just an ordinary social interaction. Huang Xiaoming said that the rumors were all made up and could not be trusted. At the same time, he also said in front of reporters that Yang Ying was cute and beautiful.

When Yuji asked Yang Ying whether she and Huang Xiaoming would have the possibility of further development in the future, Yang Ying said decisively: Impossible!

Although they said so, the rumors between them spread in the entertainment industry from time to time, which also caused everyone to guess.

Of course, Huang Xiaoming still cared about Yang Ying very much. With good resources, he still introduced her. With her help, Yang Ying played a role in the movie "Love in the City".

So much so that at a public event, there was an interview with Huang Xiaoming: Are you in love with Yang Ying? Do you know

Chen Weiting is Yang Yingxian’s boyfriend? In the face of the reporter’s question, Huang Xiaoming pretended to be very deep, saying that he would never fall in love with Yang Ying. And he didn’t know who Chen Weiting was.

On December 6, 2019, Yang Ying posted a pointed sentence through the social platform, "What should be lost will always be lost". According to an insider’s analysis, it may have hinted that she had broken up with Chen Weiting. Subsequently, Chen Weiting was at the event, facing questions from reporters, and tacitly acknowledged that Yang Ying had broken up.

Although the love story between Yang Ying and Chan Weiting has ended, Yang Ying’s new love affair continues, and it also involves Zheng Zhongji and Huang Xiaoming, which makes people think.

The following spring, some media broke the news that Zheng Zhongji and A Sa were secretly married.

Later, Zheng Zhongji and Ah Sa jointly held a press conference to admit the fact that they were married in response to the revelations.

To everyone’s surprise, Zheng Zhongji and Ah Sa admitted that they were married soon after, and then revealed that they had decided to divorce.

Such explosive news made everyone speculate about the reason. Everyone believed that it must be related to Yang Ying, and accused her of interfering in Zheng Zhongji’s marriage to Ah Sa. At that time, the Hong Kong entertainment industry also called Yang Ying the "most beautiful girl".

Yang Ying said she was very distressed by such a rebuke, explaining that the reason why she and Zheng Zhongji have been in contact is to cooperate with the publicity and hype of the movie "Flower Field 2010".

Later, the relationship between Yang Ying and Zheng Zhongji gradually cooled, but to the great surprise, shortly after the divorce with Zheng Zhongji, Ah Sa was with Yang Ying’s previous boyfriend, Chen Weiting. This wave of you coming and going made everyone really choke.

Although the media coverage of their entertainment went up and down, Yang Ying had a hot relationship with Huang Xiaoming at this time. It can be seen from the text messages leaked by Huang Xiaoming’s girlfriend Li Feier at that time that Yang Ying sent Huang Xiaoming a lot of ambiguous and explicit text messages. Although Li Feier also began to counterattack, she was no match for Yang Ying after all. Although Yang Ying’s text messages were leaked to expose Yang Ying’s immoral behavior, she did not expect that the relationship between Huang Xiaoming and Yang Ying could not be shaken. Li Feier has since withdrawn from the love game of the three of them.

Therefore, many years later, Huang Xiaoming said that he and Yang Ying were together after breaking up with Li Feier, and Yang Ying clarified and explained that someone said she was the third child.

Since Huang Xiaoming and Li Feier broke up, Yang Ying has been very caring for Huang Xiaoming. Her usual active company and birthday uniform party for Huang Xiaoming have made Huang Xiaoming feel very happy!

With the help of Huang Xiaoming, Yang Ying gradually transferred her career to the mainland, and all the resources and opportunities were surrounded by Yang Ying with the help of Huang Xiaoming.

Soon, Yang Ying’s name gradually became known in the mainland, especially when she participated in Zhejiang Satellite TV’s "Run, Brother" in 2014. Yang Ying felt even more at the height of the sun.

In 2014, Huang Xiaoming revealed his love affair with Yang Ying, and the following year, in Shanghai, Huang Xiaoming held a sky-high "wedding of the century" with Yang Ying.

At the wedding, Yang Ying was like a princess doted on by a prince, with happiness on her face.

So far, Yang Ying has been alone in Qingyun, and her popularity and income have surpassed Huang Xiaoming.

But then, just like the picture below, the status of the two changed. Before attending the event, it must have been Huang Xiaoming in front, and Yang Ying followed behind him, but now Huang Xiaoming can only carry the skirt for her behind Yang Ying.

Perhaps this is the beginning of a change in their marriage, because Yang Yingyi has the capital to fly higher, and Huang Xiaoming may just be a passer-by in her life.

In 2018, rumors of their divorce were rampant in the city, but I don’t know if it was true or not. Later, it was discovered that the company Huang Xiaoming once used to package Yang Ying had been cancelled, and the two had no business connection in 2020, which made people wonder if their marriage was in crisis.

As expected, on January 28, 2022, Huang Xiaoming and Yang Ying officially announced their divorce, and their marriage lasted less than seven years.

As mentioned at the beginning of this article, their divorce did not cause a sensation in the outside world, because people seemed to have expected their marriage.

Now that they are still developing on their own paths, their marriage may allow them to understand each other better and understand life better. Believe what they say "be grateful for everything in the past, and the future is still family"

Who else will they meet in the future, and what exciting stories will there be? Maybe in the near future…

Recently, on the 10th anniversary of Ele.me, Ele.me, which was put into Alibaba’s arms in April this year, has made full use of Alibaba’s funds and resources to launch a series of activities to accelerate business expansion and market capture. In fact, although the competition between Meituan and Ele.me originated from food delivery, the war has already spread to a broader local service business. On the one hand, Meituan Dianping, which is fully fledged and is about to go public, and on the other hand, Ele.me, which is connected with Alibaba’s system, who will be better?

Takeaway old things, Ali’s thoughts

According to the data of 17 years and the first half of 18 years, Meituan is a well-deserved leader in terms of transaction volume and user platform distribution. Even though Ele.me acquired Baidu takeaway in August last year, it is still inferior to Meituan, which has more than half of the market share. However, the takeaway market, which originally thought that the pattern had been set, has made a comeback with Ele.me’s defection to Ali Langyan. The takeaway business is the largest local life service entrance, which is not only Meituan’s main business but also the strategic support point for Ali’s layout of new retail. In fact, there has always been a shadow of Ali’s capital in Meituan’s initial financing, but Meituan was dissatisfied with Ali’s strength and control. Ali also lost patience with Meituan’s wavering between Tencent and Ali, and the two sides eventually parted ways. Now Alibaba is spearheading Ele.me, investing 3 billion yuan this summer to achieve the short-term goal of raising Ele.me’s market share to 50%. In the opinion of Ele.me CEO Wang Lei, Alibaba’s battle of living locally is "impossible to lose", which also means that Alibaba will invest huge funds and resources in Ele.me.

The ecological closure of the largest unicorn

In the "2017 China Unicorn Enterprise Ranking", Meituan Dianping ranked first in the e-commerce industry with a valuation of 30 billion US dollars. After Meituan Dianping officially submitted the prospectus to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange on June 25 this year, its valuation was as high as 60 billion US dollars. Meituan Dianping has built a one-stop comprehensive life service platform to connect merchants and consumers, creating a "merchant + service + consumer" ecological closed loop. Its business coverage is beyond the reach of other competitors. According to Meituan Dianping’s prospectus, food delivery, in-store catering, and hotel tourism are the company’s main businesses, contributing more than 90% of its revenue and gross profit. At the same time, Meituan Dianping has launched new businesses such as fresh food, online car-hailing, and merchant services this year, continuously improving the local service system and building ecological barriers.

From a financial point of view, Meituan comments on the one hand, the rapid expansion of revenue, benefiting from the number of users, transaction frequency, flow rate, as well as new business development, brand influence and other factors, in 2017 the company’s gross merchandise volume and operating income reached 357 billion yuan and 33.93 billion yuan, revenue growth rate of 161.2% exceeded the gross merchandise volume growth rate of 51.0%. On the other hand, Meituan losses continue to narrow. According to the prospectus, from 2015 – 5.91 billion yuan narrowed to 2016 – 5.35 billion yuan, 2017 further narrowed to – 2.85 billion yuan, loss halved within 3 years. It is worth mentioning here that, like companies such as Xiaomi and Meitu listed in Hong Kong before, Meituan also has "non-operating losses" due to the increase in the fair value of "convertible redeemable preference shares" issued to shareholders in past financing. Therefore, after excluding the special accounting treatment related to the above, the "adjusted net loss" is more valuable.

Close combat, local service will eventually die?

Ali has been punching frequently since its acquisition of Ele.me, and it has accelerated its action after Meituan Dianping submitted its prospectus. Although Meituan Dianping stands behind the major shareholder Tencent, Tencent is more like an investor than a controller, and there is no deep cooperation or connection between the companies it invests in. Therefore, the current competition landscape is Meituan’s ecological closed-loop against the deep integration of Ali + Ele.me. The two sides have gone head-to-head in various fields, Meituan takeaway and Ele.me in the field of catering takeaway, Dianping and word-of-mouth in life information, in-store catering, and baby elephant fresh and Hema Fresh in fresh new retail. Through the timeline of the expansion of the local service business of both parties, it is not difficult to see that many of the new businesses are still small in size, and many of the cooperation and opening up have just begun, and the market share will still change.
