Forty Years of China’s Literary Creation: From "Wound Literature" to "Network Novel"

  Forty years of China’s literary creation: from "scar literature" to "online novel"

  China news agency, Beijing, October 6 (Reporter Gao Kai) "Literary changes are influenced by the world, and the rise and fall depend on the time sequence" (Liu Xie, Southern Dynasty), from "scar literature" to "online novel", China’s literary creation has experienced colorful ups and downs with social changes in the past 40 years.

  In 1977, the 11th issue of People’s Literature published Liu Xinwu’s "Head Teacher" in the headline of "Special Short Stories". The novel was criticized as "criticism and enlightenment" and the pursuit of authenticity, which exposed the spiritual poison caused by the "Cultural Revolution" to teenagers. In 1978, a wave of literary creations revealed the harm of the Cultural Revolution to the people’s spirit, such as Wound by Lu Xinhua and Soul and Body by Zhang Xianliang, told the spiritual history records of a generation of China intellectuals who reflected on the Cultural Revolution. It was called "Wound Literature" in the literary history, while The Head Teacher was regarded as a "pioneering work".

  This year, in an interview with the media, Liu Xinwu said that "scar literature" is more about expressing thoughts, opinions and viewpoints, rather than really digging deep into the literature itself. In fact, when literature continues to progress, and then the creation is required to truly return to the literary ontology, it is far from enough to express the views on social life. "Trauma literature naturally melts with the development of the times."

  What the reform has brought to China people is not only the abundance of material life, but also the expansion of individual thought and living space.

  Since 1978, with the economic and social changes, Dangdai’s literary publications such as October, Flower City and Everyone have come out in succession, and they have quickly become fertile ground for the growth of literary creation.

  After the "scar literature", a large number of reform works emerged, from Zhang Jie’s "Heavy Wings" to Ke Yunlu’s "New Star", which aroused widespread public concern. "New Star" appeared as a avant-garde literary image that reflected realistic problems and confronted social contradictions, and its adaptation of the TV series of the same name gained unprecedented attention and ratings at that time.

  In 1986, Lu Yao’s Ordinary World interwoven daily life with huge social conflicts, showing the difficult and tortuous road that ordinary people have taken in the historical process of the great era. This award-winning work of Mao Dun Literature Award not only won the recognition of the literary world, but also aroused strong resonance among readers and became the "explosion" of that year.

  China literature is increasingly returning to literary noumenon, and it is more inclined to pure literature.

  Since the middle and late 1980s, a number of outstanding writers, such as Yu Hua, Su Tong, Liu Suola, Acheng and Ge Fei, have successively published their "golden" works.

  In 1985, Mo Yan published the novella Transparent Carrots in China Writers, which added a wonderful stroke to the literature in the new period with magnificent imagination and expanded the creative space of novels in the new period. Mo Yan became famous in one fell swoop. Twenty-seven years later, he won the Nobel Prize in Literature because his works "magical realism blended folk stories, history and contemporary society".

  Chen Jiangong, vice chairman of the Chinese Writers Association, said that during the period from 1978 to 2008, China’s literary creation, writers constantly expanded the realm of "ego", and integrated "ego" into the feelings of home and country, national worries and joys, and the people’s upsurge of creating history and the torrent of national rejuvenation. ? From "non-ego" to "ego" and from "ego" to "ego", the creative subject of literature has finally found its own artistic and historical orientation, which is the mystery of the outstanding personality of literary creation and the heavy and vigorous literary pattern over the years.

  With the progress of science and technology and social development, the Internet has increasingly entered the lives of China people, and network literature has emerged. Since Cai Zhiheng’s online novel "The First Intimate Contact" became popular in 1998, China’s online literature has gone through 20 years.

  With the development of film, animation, games and other related industries in recent years, the annual income of many online writers has reached "tens of millions".

  Born in 1981, the online writer "Tang Jiasan Shao" has owned his own cultural investment company, ranking first in the rich list of online writers in China for many years. In addition to the material sense of existence, after years of development, China online writers have also become a member of the mainstream literary creation. Tang Jiasan believes that the traditional literary world has accepted and tolerated online literature to a great extent. With the network literature entering a new turning point in history, the network literature, which started from leisure and entertainment, has also shown a positive trend in the creation of realistic themes.

  Literature comes from the times and also records the times. Looking back on the 40 years of reform and opening up, China’s literary creation is magnificent, and the future can be expected. As Mr. Lu Xun said, "Infinite distance and countless people are all related to me". (End)

Xiamen’s intergenerational relay facing the sea

  On January 22 nd, Wuyuanwan Wetland Park in Xiamen, Fujian, tourists photographed black swans on the plank road. Wuyuan Bay was once covered with salt drying fields, farms and garbage dumps, and the natural ecosystem was seriously damaged, so it was considered as an uninhabitable place. In 2005, Xiamen started the comprehensive improvement project of Wuyuan Bay, implemented measures such as ecological restoration, comprehensive development and overall development, reserved plots worth tens of billions of yuan in the central city to carry out ecological protection and restoration, and built a wetland park of about 99 hectares, attracting more than 90 kinds of wild birds to feed and inhabit, and rare species such as chestnut-throated bee tiger and white dolphin and black swan have settled here one after another.

  In 1986, an essay-writing activity called "2000-Xiamen in My Mind" aroused widespread concern in Xiamen. Later, more than a dozen good strategies in the essay were adopted and incorporated into the Economic and Social Development Strategy of Xiamen from 1985 to 2000, which was a strategic plan for economic and social development that spanned 15 years earlier by local governments in China, and "beautiful environment" was included in one of the six strategic goals.

  In 2002, a mobilization order of "promoting the development of the island and across the island" was in full swing, encouraging Xiamen to accelerate its transformation from an island-based city to a bay-based ecological city.

  In 2017, BRICS leaders met in Xiamen, and Xiamen was praised as a "high-value ecological garden city".

  In 2024, the national level issued a road map for building a beautiful China in an all-round way. Xiamen’s ecological practice for more than 30 years is like a microcosm, and it has become a pioneer in comprehensively promoting the construction of a beautiful China. Recently, the reporter visited Xiamen, looking for generations of successive strugglers and exploring the practical code of beautiful Xiamen.

  Find the way of ecological management from a lake

  Xiamen is endowed with unique advantages as well as the unique sea. This city has won the reputation of "International Garden City" and "UN Habitat Award" successively, not only because of its talent, but also because of its arduous efforts.

  Yaodang Lake was originally deep into the inner bay fishing port of Xiamen Island. At night, the fishing fire was like a star, the scenery was like a dream, and the grand scene of "Yaodang fishing fire" spread. But in the 1970s, the lake turned black and smelly, and the fish, shrimp and egrets disappeared.

  当地可查记录显示,那一时期,筼筜湖污染源较多,125家企业向该湖排放工业废水,占全市工业废水排放量的45%以上,全市近一半的生活污水直接排入筼筜湖,还有6家医院的污水也直入此湖。

  “筼筜湖何时不再黑臭?”当地群众发出强烈呼声。

  1988年3月,一场整治环境污染的硬仗在厦门打响。很多人都记得,时任厦门市委常委、常务副市长的习近平同志主持召开专题会议,提出“依法治湖、截污处理、清淤筑岸、搞活水体、美化环境”20字方针,拉开了筼筜湖综合治理序幕。

  针对前期资金不足问题,筼筜湖治理方案明确每年投入1000万元财政资金,占当时厦门全市基本建设支出近10%;同时,多渠道筹措排污费、土地批租收入、借款和技改资金,以空前力度加大治理投入。

  在厦门市市政园林局党组成员、总工程师王艳艳看来,这样的治理力度在当时实属罕见。

  水域面积1.6平方公里的筼筜湖先后进行了五期大规模整治,总投资约19.9亿元。事实上,36年来,厦门在海洋生态保护修复上累计投入1056亿元。

  “以筼筜湖综合整治为起点,城市生态价值观念逐步觉醒。”厦门市副市长张志红说。

  The earliest 20-character governance policy has been affecting the ecological construction of Xiamen. As the first principle, "governing the lake according to law" has not only run through the comprehensive management of Yundang Lake for 36 years, but also is the background color of Xiamen’s ecological construction.

  Many cadres in Xiamen said that if there is no guarantee of the rule of law, ecological restoration will be difficult for a long time. In 1994, after Xiamen obtained the legislative power of special economic zones, the first substantive local regulation was the Regulations of Xiamen on Environmental Protection. Since then, Xiamen has given full play to the advantages of the legislative power of special economic zones in the construction of marine rule of law, and has successively formulated more than ten laws and regulations related to the sea.

  The controversy about the use of Aoguan natural coastline in Haicang Bay of Xiamen has lasted for many years. Yu Xingguang, former director of the Third Institute of Oceanography of the Ministry of Natural Resources, said that although this natural coastline is only a few hundred meters, it contains different landforms such as beaches, reefs, mangroves and wetlands, and developers are also optimistic about this coastline. Yu Xingguang, a former deputy to Xiamen Municipal People’s Congress, has called on many occasions to protect the "pocket" coastline of Aoguan.

  The protection of the coastline was finally written into "Several Provisions on Marine Environmental Protection in Xiamen City" in the form of laws and regulations, and Article 16 of Chapter III clearly stipulates that "any activity to change the natural coastline of Aoguan coastal area is prohibited".

  In addition to investment governance and legal protection, Xiamen also has a series of institutional innovations, such as establishing the marine management office of the municipal government, taking the lead in setting up a professional marine cleaning team in the country, prohibiting the introduction of heavy pollution projects, rationally arranging industrial concentration areas, and promoting the relocation and upgrading of enterprises in the main city.

  From a lake, a coastline, a bay, an island, a mountain, from a part to the whole, from the mountain top to the ocean, Xiamen has built a system governance system and a "multi-regulation" business collaboration platform.

  Ke Yuzong, Party Secretary and Director of Xiamen Natural Resources and Planning Bureau, introduced that all kinds of spatial planning originally scattered in natural resources, development and reform, ecological environment, water conservancy and other departments were integrated as a whole, and all kinds of ecological environment control requirements were managed by drawing, forming a "blueprint" of global space based on ecological environment, supported by resource carrying capacity and based on special planning of various departments, so as to save resources and protect the environment to the maximum extent.

  Positive interaction between scientific and technological support and scientific decision-making

  For more than 30 years, Xiamen’s "high face value" cannot be separated from strong scientific and technological support. In the Economic and Social Development Strategy of Xiamen from 1985 to 2000, "environmental protection technology" is clearly regarded as the key social science and technology field.

  With the deepening of marine ecological restoration, the problems involve a wide range, involving many stakeholders, and the problems of science and technology, administration, law, economy and environment are intertwined. How to allocate basin resources and plan space? Each department has its own work objectives.

  In 1995, the Xiamen Municipal Government’s Coordination Leading Group for Integrated Marine Management was established, with the mayor or deputy mayor as the team leader and department leaders as members, and the Marine Management Office, a functional department of the government’s integrated marine affairs management, was also established.

  In 1996, Xiamen took the lead in setting up a marine expert group in China relying on the Marine Management Office, and the municipal government issued a letter of appointment. Hong Huasheng, the first returned female doctor of oceanography in China, was the first group leader.

  The personnel structure of the expert group also changes with the development stage of Xiamen. At first, there were only some experts in the fields of ocean and planning. When the goal of marine ecological restoration is gradually expanded, legal experts and economists are added. When Xiamen is open to the whole world outside the island, Xiamen’s high-quality marine economic development needs major technical preparation, and some influential academicians join in.

  Yu Xingguang, a former leader of the expert group, recalled that in principle, every two months, the expert group listened to a briefing on important matters related to the sea in Xiamen, and the city leaders in charge of the ocean discussed with the members of the expert group. "Suggestions can be made on the spot, or not necessarily on the spot. It can be written or oral. " Through consultation, investigation, feedback and continuous communication, the expert group reached a basic consensus, and most of the opinions were adopted by the government to a high degree, forming a benign interaction. "This mechanism is a scientific decision-making model that relies on science and technology, takes fewer detours and seeks truth from facts."

  "My contact with scientists is like a student going to worship a teacher." Pan Shijian, who was the deputy mayor of Xiamen at that time, kept a "seamless" close contact with the expert group. "Sometimes my mind is prone to fever, so I should listen to other people’s opinions."

  Pan Shijian said that many ideas and details can’t be communicated just by holding a meeting, but by calling or visiting at any time, and opening up information to experts. "There is nothing to hide."

  Gaoji seawall, which blocks the east and west waters of Xiamen, is 2212 meters long and has played an important role in Xiamen’s history. The opening of Gaoji seawall is regarded as the top priority of "Xiamen’s marine ecological function restoration project". Hong Huasheng introduced that after the opening, the "meridians" of the sea area were opened, and the originally semi-closed bay became an open and permeable bay, which was conducive to enhancing the water exchange capacity and largely solved the problem of the maximum environmental capacity of the entire western sea area of Xiamen and Tongan Bay, which played the most critical role in the entire ecological restoration.

  How to determine the opening width, tidal capacity, dredging depth, hydrodynamic improvement and siltation degree, water quality control index, etc. The Third Institute of Oceanography of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Xiamen University conducted back-to-back mathematical model research and calculation comparison at the same time, and nanjing hydraulic research institute also conducted physical model experiments to ensure accuracy and science.

  In the past 2023, there were 60 or 70 species of birds observed in Xiatanwei Mangrove Park in Xiamen, which is the latest data from the team of Yang Shengchang, an associate professor at the School of Environment and Ecology of Xiamen University. Before the ecological restoration in this area, there were only twenty or thirty species of birds.

  "After the implementation of the ecological restoration project, the biggest thing is the ecological benefits, especially the significant improvement of biodiversity." Yang Shengchang said that the number of benthic organisms such as shellfish, shrimps and crabs has also increased by about three times. In the early years, Xiatan tail was frequently farmed out of order and seriously polluted. It was regarded as a remote place by Xiamen people and unwilling to come. "After coming, it will be smoked away by the smell of seawater." The local native mangroves have also been seriously damaged.

  Mangroves are regarded as "the protector of islands". Since 2005, Xiamen Municipal Government has entrusted Academician Lin Peng of Xiamen University to lead the research group of mangrove project of Xiamen University to plant mangrove experimental forest in Xiatanwei. Mangrove restoration has been included as a private practical project by Xiamen Municipal Government.

  Lu Changyi, a student in Lin Peng and dean of the School of Environmental Science and Engineering of Tan Kah Kee College of Xiamen University, recalled that some villagers had resistance to the construction of the mangrove wetland at Xiatanwei, and some villagers even climbed onto the hook machine to stop the project.

  In May 2012, at the beginning of the project, Lu Changyi came to the village with a portable projector on his back. As night fell, he borrowed a white sheet as a curtain, hung it on the stone wall at the head of the village, and told the villagers about his ecological "open class". With the efforts of all parties, the villagers finally expressed their understanding and support for the Xiatanwei project. More than 60% of the mangrove planting workers are composed of local villagers.

  Today, Xiatanwei Mangrove Park has become a green buffer zone to resist typhoon, storm surge and other marine disasters, integrating nature education, leisure science and other functions. Yang Shengchang said: "There are almost no children in Xiamen who don’t know about mangroves."

  In November 2023, Peter Thomson, Special Envoy of the UN Secretary-General for Ocean Affairs, came to Xiatanwei Mangrove Park during Xiamen International Ocean Week, and highly affirmed the balance between ecology and economy in Xiamen, expecting it to provide "Xiamen samples" for international marine ecological environment governance.

  High-level protection and high-quality development

  Why is Xiamen so different?

  When we carefully explore the logic of urban texture formation, we will find that there are many wonderful "concessions" in Xiamen: in order to protect more than 500 trees, the lucky chance Bridge in Wuyuan Bay has made a detour; In order not to disturb the Chinese white dolphins, the scheme of Xiang’ an cross-sea bridge was changed to a submarine tunnel with double construction cost and greater construction risk; In order to avoid reservoirs and plants, Xiamen built a mountain road with only three lanes; There is a 3-hectare nature reserve in the middle of the high-rise buildings in the urban area, which is reserved for the "most beautiful bird in China" to settle down and breed. Xiamen is their breeding and habitat in the northernmost latitude of the world.

  "Concession" everywhere is not a compromise, but a kind look back on the natural life of the triumphant city, and the wisdom of cooperating with high-quality development and high-level protection.

  Pan Shijian remembers that at the beginning of the 21st century, Xiamen was in the period of rapid construction of the Special Economic Zone and needed money everywhere. "On the one hand, we are faced with building this city quickly to meet the needs of the people. At the same time, we are also faced with an island city with a beautiful environment that needs ecological restoration. There are many specific and difficult choices." Pan Shijian said, "We don’t simply dial the abacus, and the calculated value is still not worth it."

  Taking Wuyuan Bay in the northeast of Xiamen Island as an example, due to seawall blocking and regional development and construction, the water exchange capacity in this area is poor, and planting, breeding and salt field management also lead to increased pollution. In 2003, the local per capita GDP was only 39.4% of the average level of Xiamen. Two years later, Xiamen started the comprehensive improvement project of Wuyuan Bay with reference to the management experience of Yaodang Lake.

  At first, the land in Wuyuanwan Bay was planned to be stored as construction land. The Xiamen Municipal Government fully solicited and adopted expert opinions, adjusted the development and utilization planning of Wuyuanwan area in time, abandoned the hot real estate development at that time, and reserved 89 hectares of original wetlands in the bay.

  The habitat of chestnut-throated bee tiger is also in this wetland. In 2011, the Xiamen Municipal Government designated the Chestnut-throated Bee Tiger Nature Reserve, in which 37 hectares in Wuyuanwan Wetland Area are feeding grounds and 3 hectares in the urban area are breeding grounds. According to the original plan, if these 40 hectares were used for development, the land value would be as high as 3 billion yuan.

  "Is this article about urban construction simple or complicated? Xiamen’s development philosophy is: what you do today should provide a better platform and environment for tomorrow’s development. " Pan Shijian said.

  Later data showed that by the end of 2022, the land value of Wuyuanwan area alone had increased by more than eight times compared with that of 2005, and the value created far exceeded the income from real estate development abandoned at that time, and the chestnut-throated bee tiger retained valuable habitats.

  Today, Wuyuan Bay has become a new "city meeting room" in Xiamen, attracting more than 300 well-known enterprises to settle down; Xiamen International Yacht Club and Sailing Port have been built, and more and more young people come to experience sailing, yachting and surfing. Music festivals, trunk fairs and art exhibitions will also be held on weekends.

  "Looking up is fresh blue, and looking around is pleasant green." Strolling through Xiamen, people will find that the distance between people and the sea is so close, cyclists ride in the bay driveway, children chase the sea, the elderly do morning exercises in the seaside park, and in the afterglow of sunset, the long shadows of citizens and tourists cover Baicheng beach.

  Huang Zhiquan, a member of Xiamen Bird Watching Association, loves two scenic spots in Xiamen. One is the white scenery where flocks of egrets catch fish at the gate of the west dike of Miandang Lake, and the other is the black scenery where flocks of wintering cormorants arrive as scheduled every winter and feed and inhabit in Xinglin Bay, forming a unique ecological wonder of "Qi Fei with ten thousand birds".

  Earlier Xinglin Bay was still a rotten mire. Xinglin Bay used to be a beautiful bay in history, but it has been affected by dams, production, construction and aquaculture pollution for a long time. Some experts came here to inspect, and the ship could not move forward before it got close, and it was full of silt.

  The construction of Garden Expo Garden in Xinglin Bay, jimei district, Xiamen is the most difficult project that Pan Shijian has handled. He not only wants to carry out ecological restoration in this area, but also wants to build Jimei New City, and Yuanboyuan is an opportunity.

  It only took more than two years from the application for construction to the final completion of the Garden Expo Garden. For this purpose, Xiamen has set up a special headquarters to conduct in-depth investigations on various birds, fish and other animals and plants to ensure that the original ecological balance will not be destroyed during development and construction. Seriously protect the original ecological green space, water system and nursery, and obtain good ecological benefits with minimal transformation or no transformation.

  It is difficult to estimate how much economic growth this water garden has driven in jimei district. Jimei district used to be an old industrial zone in Xiamen. Now, an industrial chain with garden art, culture and education, sports, hot spring vacation, water sports and navigation education has been gradually established, forming a sustainable industrial system.

  Xie Ming, deputy director of the Bureau of Industry and Information Technology of jimei district, Xiamen, said that in the past 10 years, the net population growth of jimei district was the largest in Fujian Province, reaching more than 500,000 people, and it is also the most populous district in Xiamen at present, reaching more than 1.1 million people, and the youth aged 14-35 accounted for 46% of the total population in the region. Young employees of some enterprises said that when they choose their place of residence, the beautiful environment and industrial agglomeration are very attractive.

  Tens of thousands of fishermen have landed in successive bay renovations to make room for the blue sea and silver beach.

  In order to avoid the loss of fishermen’s interests and ensure their livelihood, the government has set up special social security for fishermen who have lost their lives, organized re-employment training after landing, arranged for fishermen to work in enterprises and give subsidies, set up funds to encourage entrepreneurship.

  Some fishermen change jobs, and some fishermen go to other places to seek development with their farming skills. Lin Yulin, deputy secretary of the Party Committee of Pantu Community in Tong ‘an District, Xiamen, said that the annual aquaculture output of Pantu people exceeds 400,000 tons, and about 10% of the output is transported back to Pantu. The output value of Pantu oyster accounts for about 70% of the Xiamen market.

  Electronics, machinery, light industry and chemical industry were once the pillar industries in Xiamen. Xiamen has given up extensive industries, laid out strategic emerging industries led by scientific and technological innovation, and achieved remarkable results in marine economy and cultural tourism economy. The data shows that in 2023, the proportion of the tertiary industry in Xiamen exceeded 60%, which was nearly 6 percentage points higher than the national level; The added value of high-tech manufacturing industry accounts for more than 40% of the industrial proportion, which is 27 percentage points higher than that of the whole country; The energy consumption and water consumption of GDP per 10,000 yuan are at the leading level in China.

  Today, Xiamen has developed into a high-quality city of innovation and entrepreneurship, with rapid development of new economy and new industries, keeping pace with trade and investment, and reaching five continents by sea, land and air. Xiamen embraces the world with a more open attitude.

  According to the relevant person in charge of the Department of Resource Conservation and Environmental Protection of the National Development and Reform Commission, Xiamen’s cooperation with high-level protection and high-quality development has broken the problem. "The development of Xiamen does not depend on the consumption of resources and energy. Its practice has proved that high-level ecological protection can also create and develop new formats and support new economic advantages."

  This is a relay race from generation to generation. Yu Xingguang has worked and lived in Xiamen for 43 years, witnessing Xiamen’s firm goal of ecological protection and restoration. "It will not change because of the change of leadership, will not retreat because of temporary economic difficulties, and will not change because of changes in the economic and ecological situation."

  Xiamen "leaves the most beautiful beaches to the people" and protects the rocks and landforms along the beach and coast to the maximum extent; In all kinds of protection measures, the opinions of the masses are widely listened to, and Ludao children carefully care for every piece of green around them.

  Enterprises and citizens actively subscribe for tree planting and daily management on Maluan Bay Ecological Island; "Citizen Lake Chief" competes to protect the Yaodang Lake; People call the Chinese white dolphin "Mazu fish", giving it the meaning of good luck.

  "Xiamen people love nature." Pan Shijian grew up in Xiamen. When he was a child, he loved to climb trees and talk to birds in the trees. Birds chirped and he chirped. He likes swimming in the sea and watching crabs get into the beach. He said: "The owners of this city are not only people, but also animals and plants."

  When he becomes a city builder, he wants to plant trees with large crowns that can make birds nest; It is also necessary to plant insect-infested trees so that birds can have food to eat; Plant trees in crevices of stones, on reefs at sea and on uninhabited islands. He also grows vegetables on his balcony and feeds them to the birds. "To truly love this city." Pan Shijian holds the idea that "the city is our mother." He built a sculpture on the beach beside the winding roundabout, where a mother was playing with her children at the seaside.

Many first-line filmmakers concentrate on helping the poor with their words and people’s livelihood.

Fighting poverty, filmmakers are in action.

Recently, Jackie Chan, who has always been a positive energy benchmark in the entertainment industry, proposed to organize film and television artists to fulfill their social public welfare responsibilities and participate in poverty alleviation at this year’s National People’s Congress. He believes that entertainers should become the vanguard of poverty alleviation forces, give full play to their social influence, and call for serious investigation to achieve accurate poverty alleviation in the true sense.

Jackie Chan proposed that artists should help the poor.It is duty-bound to attack hard

Poverty alleviation is a major livelihood project and the common responsibility of the whole society, and film and television artists are duty-bound! Jackie Chan’s initiative has won wide recognition and positive response from the industry. On the occasion of the two sessions, the Media Center of the Film Channel specially planned a large-scale special topic of "Fighting Poverty and Fighting Filmmakers in Action", and carried out an echo report of "On-site suggestions and positive responses".


During the two sessions, frontline reporters interviewed Jackie Chan, Feng Yuanzheng, Gong Hanlin, Jianqi Huo, Jia Zhangke, Zhang Kaili and others on topics such as "Precise Poverty Alleviation", "Actor’s Social Responsibility" and "Star Public Welfare", and they all received positive responses.


Off-site, we invite literary and art workers who are keen on public welfare and have a strong sense of social responsibility to respond to Jackie Chan’s appeal and participate in discussions on topics such as "precise poverty alleviation". Since March 8th, the film channel China Film Report has successively launched a series of interviews on "Filmmakers Fighting Poverty in Action", inviting powerful filmmakers Jackie Chan, Huang Xiaoming, Li Bingbing, Wang Xueyin and WU GANG, as well as young actor representatives Cheney Chen, Jing Tian, Vivi, Wang Baoqiang, Wu Yifan, Yang Mi, Yang Yang, Yang Zi, Zhai Tianlin, Zhang Yishan and Zhou Dongyu to be interviewed. The interview will integrate the superior resources of the media center, and expose the content on all media platforms such as CCTV6 "China Film Report", 1905 Film Network, film channel client, official microblog matrix and WeChat WeChat official account.

Jackie Chan is at the scene of the two sessions.

Jackie Chan will take the lead in the first program, which will be launched on March 8, in the interview series of "Fighting Poverty and Fighting Filmmakers in Action". Over the years, Jackie Chan has been doing his best in public welfare undertakings, and he has done Wan Li Road for charity. He has a deep understanding: the road to public welfare is long and difficult, but many people make great efforts. Therefore, he hopes to call on all walks of life to jointly fight the tough battle against poverty, and at the same time, he expresses his gratitude for everyone’s support and response. "Over the years, I have been supported by the performing arts, and I have called for everything. They all believe me and I thank them. It is much more convenient to do charity now. "


As a senior in the entertainment industry, Wang Xueyin is also one who fully supports the fight against poverty. Facing our camera, he said: Accurate poverty alleviation is a very great commitment of the country, which can make the lives of farmers in our country better and better, which reflects the strength of our country. And let the whole society understand the good intentions of the country, what is precision poverty alleviation, and what role it can play after precision poverty alleviation.

Shooting in Zhou DongyuLove of hawthorn tree

In response to Jackie Chan’s call, young people in the entertainment industry are also taking action. Zhou Dongyu, a young actress, will bring her story in the interview. Having filmed in Bailihuang, she has a deeper understanding of poverty. Combining her own experience, she expressed her support for poverty alleviation and her love for beautiful rural areas: "To tell the truth, I like some beautiful rural areas, but now some places in our hometown are also quite poor and have not paved the way. Therefore, we must work hard to make every rural area and every mountainous area more beautiful. This is also my great wish. "

Yang Yang established Sunshine Special Fund.

Yang Yang, who is also the representative of Zheng Energy, a young actor, has always been on the road of public welfare. He was awarded the Beijing Development Action Ambassador by the China Development Research Foundation, and he also has his own understanding of precision poverty alleviation. In the interview, he said: "Accurate poverty alleviation is a more efficient and scientific way to help the poor, that is, who should use the money, how to use it, and how to use it, which is more targeted." Yang Yang, which set up the Sunshine Special Fund, is doing its bit to help more children, hoping that the children will not lose at the starting line.


2018 is the first year to implement the spirit of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the 40th anniversary of reform and opening-up, and a crucial year to build a well-off society in an all-round way and get rid of poverty. "Let the poor people and poor areas join the whole country to enter a well-off society in an all-round way" is not only a slogan, but also a cohesive force. Accurate poverty alleviation requires the participation of the whole society. As a public figure, we should stand at the forefront of poverty alleviation. On the road to poverty alleviation, only when everyone does their duty and contributes can the trickle converge into a powerful and majestic force.


The Film Channel Media Center will gather together, give full play to the influence of its own media platform, draw attention from the society with the help of the influence of public figures, unite the forces from all walks of life, participate in precision poverty alleviation together, and jointly launch the historic decisive battle against poverty! In the future, the movie channel will invite more filmmakers to join the action of "getting rid of poverty". (Names are sorted by surname pinyin)

The transformation of the ancient town of Zhaojialou, Shanghai: the old look is changed, and the beautiful scenery reappears!

abstract:

[Shanghai Zhaojialou Ancient Town: The old look is new, and the beautiful scenery reappears! The ancient town of Zhaojialou in Minhang, Shanghai is undergoing a profound transformation. More than three-quarters of the residents signed a contract to move out, and the transformation of the ancient town is in full swing. In the future, the ancient town will integrate residential, commercial, cultural protection and other elements to achieve the perfect integration of quality life and cultural heritage, aiming to become a new landmark to inherit Minhang traditional culture.

Text:

Zhaojialou ancient town, a historical landmark bearing the origin of Shanghai’s farming culture, is undergoing a thorough transformation. The old dilapidated buildings are bidding farewell to each other in order to bring new life breath and cultural connotation to the ancient town. Nowadays, most residents of the ancient town have signed contracts and moved to new homes with better conditions, leaving only a few families preparing for a new life.

In this transformation, the ancient town of Zhaojialou is not only undergoing a simple renewal, but also a deep integration of culture and development. The renovation plan respects the thousand-year history of the ancient town and introduces modern elements. The new Zhaojialou will gather various residential forms such as resettlement houses, commercial houses and public rental houses, as well as commercial space, office space and hotel facilities, and the preserved ancient buildings will work together with the natural landscape to draw a vibrant picture.

In the inheritance of the ancient town culture, the project side has also made great efforts. After detailed investigation and excavation, the historical buildings in the ancient town are planned for protection, so as to ensure that the soul and taste of the ancient town remain unchanged in the alternation of the old and the new. As for the future blueprint of the ancient town, the planned "Guofeng Water Town" will make Zhaojialou a new highlight of Shanghai tourism and a heritage site of Minhang traditional culture.

Xiaobian comments:
With the acceleration of urban development, the transformation and upgrading of Zhaojialou ancient town is not only to improve the living environment of residents, but also to respect and inherit the profound culture of this land. From the article, we can feel that this transformation is comprehensive, involving not only the upgrading of housing, commerce and infrastructure, but also the in-depth excavation and innovative expression of the cultural connotation of the ancient town.

It is worth mentioning that transformation does not mean complete demolition and reconstruction. In Zhaojialou, equal attention should be paid to protection and development, so that historical buildings can be rejuvenated and integrated into the needs of modern life. This practice not only retains the original charm of the ancient town, but also provides modern living conditions for residents, so that cultural heritage can blend gracefully with modern civilization.

Of course, how to balance the relationship between commercial development and cultural protection and how to avoid over-commercialization in the process of ancient town reconstruction still needs careful consideration by the project side. It is expected that the transformation of Zhaojialou ancient town can become a successful example, providing reference for the renewal of other ancient towns or historical blocks, so that more traditional cultures can be passed down and carried forward.

Naked resignation, a man floating in Shanghai, tricked his wife into going out to work every day before the Spring Festival? Netizen: It’s not easy for middle-aged people.

On the eve of Spring Festival

Are you like many people?

Have no intention of working or studying. …

Just want to wait for the holidays?

However, there are still many people involved!

The library in Shanghai is still full of people!

What kind of people are still here?

Recently, my colleagues in Xiaofang

I recorded a special story. …

here,

Some people insist on learning to charge,

Some people regard this place as outside the company.

Another office space …

Interviewee: I’m in finance. I came here mainly to study and read my professional books.

Interviewee: Charge yourself, finance.

Interviewee: I am a teacher, preparing lessons.

Interviewee: I want to find a quiet place and write some medical-related tenders and articles.

Interviewee: Study by yourself, and relax yourself. Reading is not as noisy as the outside world.

Among the many interviewees

He caught our attention.

↓↓↓

Liu Jianqiang, a former programmer.

I have been unemployed for a month now.

Keep secrets from your wife every day.

Come to the library to "work" …

"My wife doesn’t know that I am unemployed."

"My wife doesn’t know that I am unemployed. I’ve always said it’s a (normal) commute, but I’m actually just coming to the library. Go out around 9: 00 every morning, usually have lunch at a convenience store near the library, and go home at 7 or 8: 00 in the evening. The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and there are fewer recruitment positions. It should be a bit difficult to find a job now. "

Liu Jianqiang, a 35-year-old native of Qujing, Yunnan, recently left her job as a programmer in a company in Shanghai.

"The five-day task, the superior requires three days to complete, and then go back and often work overtime. When I left, the boss also said that programmers should be able to withstand pressure and not have’ blx’. " His last job overwhelmed him, which was the main reason for his leaving.

"If you are at home, the efficiency is low and the weather is cold. You can rub the air conditioner when you come to the library." On the second day of unemployment, Liu Jianqiang took the subway for more than an hour and came to Xujiahui Academy. Finding a seat, he began to submit his resume, take online classes, and write code … The workday without work was also very busy.

"I am now a sea investment, and I have already voted for fifty or sixty resumes. Most of these recruiters want a copy of your resume, and then there is no news, and some just can’t read it back. " He said that he was ready to find a job for a month or two.

In 2013, Liu Jianqiang graduated from a college in Shanghai. He worked as a printer for ten years before switching to a programmer.

"I used to print milk boxes and do quick graphics and text printing in school. It’s good to do it, but I just feel that there is no goal. I want to find a new direction and break through myself. " Later, he used his time after work to watch video courses and take notes. He taught himself for two years and turned to be a programmer.

Liu Jianqiang told reporters that in 2021, he will have an interview for every 100 resumes he submits. But since last year, he has to submit hundreds of resumes to get an interview.

Now he is applying for a job in naked resignation again. Liu Jianqiang has set the salary target for his new job at 10,000 yuan. If he really can’t find anyone who meets the requirements, he is willing to lower the requirements. In his view, the most important thing is to balance work and life.

"Most of these companies require you to graduate from college for five to ten years. A 35-year-old like me is either a manager or a project manager or an architect. I am very embarrassed when I just changed careers in such a new year. " Liu Jianqiang said.

I have given my wife a "vaccination"

But I still don’t have the courage to confess …

Regarding unemployment, Liu Jianqiang gave his wife a "vaccination". However, after being unemployed for several weeks, he still didn’t have the courage to confess: "The reason why I didn’t tell her was not to hide anything, mainly because it didn’t work. Isn’t it necessary to find a job yourself? She is also under great pressure. "

The reporter asked, what if she saw this program and knew that you haven’t found a job yet? Liu Jianqiang hesitated and said, "It doesn’t matter. If you know, you’ll know. It’s a big deal to be teased by her."

At seven o’clock in the evening, Liu Jianqiang left the library

He will go home from work on time.

When we left the library, Liu Jianqiang invited us to his home. As soon as he entered the door, his wife, Yang Kaiyan, began to share their dull but sweet lives with us: "When he gets off work, he will go shopping and then cook together. Two people, there is nothing to pursue. "

In 2018, his wife, Yang Kaiyan, came to Shanghai from her hometown of Yunnan with Liu Jianqiang, and now she is a telephone customer service staff of a company.

At the beginning of 2023, their daughter was born, and when the child was five months old, Liu Jianqiang’s parents took it back to their hometown to take care of it. Video calling with my daughter at dinner time is the happiest moment for the young couple every day.

"I am happy when I see my daughter!" Yang Kaiyan said, "I also want to accompany my daughter, but now I feel unstable at work. Our company has (personnel) changes, and I don’t know if their company has it. "

Then, Liu Jianqiang decided to sound out his wife. "I told you, I’m going to change my job."

Yang Kaiyan: When did you tell me? What job do you want to change?

Liu Jianqiang: That is, the programmer. I’m looking for it again. This is normal, right?

Happiness in a plain life

The wife didn’t really blame her husband.

Yang Kaiyan didn’t blame her husband, but she was inevitably worried. "I thought you were going to change careers, which scared me to death. Don’t change. In fact, this age is not suitable for too much beating. The expenses of children are relatively large, and all aspects of the family are not like when they first came to Shanghai. It is a family life for two people to live well. "

This year’s Spring Festival, the young couple went back to their hometown in Yunnan for the New Year. They have already prepared a birthday present for their daughter.

"In the new year, we must be happy first, and then hope that our work will be smooth. I just hope he can settle down a little, and I don’t need him to bear the pressure of life unilaterally, because I will accompany him. " Facing the camera, Yang Kaiyan spoke her New Year’s wishes.

It’s not easy for adults

Most of the time, you can only swallow it in your stomach.

Whether it’s Liu Jianqiang

Or his wife Yang Kaiyan.

Their interviews were filled with smiles.

But … the inner pain, the hardships of life.

Maybe only this couple can understand it themselves.

Some netizens said

The wife may always be clear in her heart.

Just "silent"

More netizens expressed their blessings.

I hope year of the loong can be well.

Find a new direction as soon as possible

Love Bonus —— Han Meilin in Zhou Jianping’s Eyes (I)

  In 2022, Zhou Jianping’s three new books, Just in Time, Closed Couples and Beautiful Life, were published. She expounded an artist’s life track, creative process and struggle process from the perspective of his wife.

  The full text of Love Bonus (I) in Just in Time is now published for readers.

Just in time

Zhou Jianping

  Just in Time is Zhou Jianping’s account of his emotional experience and career struggle with Han Meilin from the perspective of his wife and partner. Through fourteen documentary articles, this book describes in detail Ms. Zhou Jianping and her team’s mental journey of defending and developing Han Meilin art with "the power of the wild", their "five children" — — The birth and growth of four Han Meilin art galleries and his son Han Tianyu, and a series of highlights in Han Meilin’s global tour at the age of 80, and so on, to pay tribute to their 20-year marriage.

Love Bonus (I)

If we use the "profit" in the financial concept,

Metaphor "profit" from love,

Then the "love dividend"

It is more appropriate to translate it into "ProfitofLove".

  ▲ Happiness practice

  I spent the longest time with Merrill Lynch in our marriage, from 2001 to 2021, a full twenty years. Unfortunately, we met late, otherwise it should be no problem to reach the golden wedding or even the diamond wedding all the way. Merrill Lynch often tells me why he didn’t know me earlier. I said, that’s fate.

  A few days ago, I accidentally dug up the "IOU" that Merrill Lynch wrote to me on my birthday in 2003 when she was creating ceramics in Masaoka Yoshiko-CHO, Japan.

  On December 15, 2003, I crossed to Japan. In the morning, the sun is shining and the white clouds are shining, and I feel that something important is happening under it today. I can’t help myself. Suddenly, I saw the Queen Mother leading her disciples and grandsons, ladies-in-waiting, smiling and fascinated, and came to Yoshiko-machi, Zhenoka, Japan & HELIP; … I didn’t wake up until all the fairies and fairies left piles of flat peaches and left. When I was puzzled, my wife Jianping turned over and shouted, Han Meilin! Listen, today is my mother’s birthday, and the heavenly queen has come to send peaches. Why are you still as stupid as wood? When I first married you, it was a dream entrusted to me by the Queen Mother. She said: There is a big stupid hat in the world. Although it is brilliant, it has no aura, which makes people feel sick and diarrhea. Although I have made a lot of money so far, I still have no money. Clothes are patched and meals are cooked. He hasn’t had soup for eight years, no dining table for ten years and no affection for him for twenty years … … You are my youngest daughter. Can you go to Beijing to see if he loves you? If so, you can stay and help him. Although he is a fool, he is also a son of heaven, a bodhisattva with a heart and a rough life. He never forgets the poor, the benefactor, the long years and the mentor … … You go! He is changing his life in Fuwai Hospital … …

  I have been married to Jianping for three years, and I can’t care how much I owe her. She is handsome and I am handsome, so I often make my wife laugh and wipe away tears. I’m sixty and seven years old, and I’m a good wife in my old age. Looking up to the sky, I realize: Am I still in a chaotic world? ! Bite your tongue — — It’s true. I have this family, this brilliant career, so many friends and so much energy … … All have something to do with Jianping being by my side. I am the luckiest person in the world, and thousands of envious and blessed eyes care about us.

  There is no flower seller in Yoshiko-CHO, Japan, and I don’t buy Japanese flowers, so I owe my wife ninety-nine red roses.

  Japanese peaches can live long without China peaches, so I owe my wife thirty-nine peaches.

  Japanese noodles are not as good as Zhajiang Noodles in China, so I owe my wife Zhajiang Noodles a big bowl (there are a lot of diced meat, and the noodle sauce must be made by Liubiju).

  I haven’t seen a plush chair in Masaoka, Japan. People in China are called "Longevity" on their birthdays, and they must sit in plush chairs. My family has two fauteuil chairs. My wife can sit in one chair during the day and the second chair at night. When she is tired, her legs will circle, and her legs will not be numb and her waist will not be sore for at least four or five hours.

  China people have to have many children to join in the fun on their birthdays. There are not many children in this Japanese town, and the population here is negative. For this reason, I owe my wife and children a lot. When I return to China, I must call Dānlín and Dekuan, a pimple called Nizi. It’s really not enough. I went to the canteen to discuss with the master to lend out Little Red, who swept the floor. She is only 1.4 meters tall. When she was a child, no one said she was an adult. If the birthday girl — — Jianping doesn’t think there are too many children, so I must try to call the director of Liyuan police station and search for a few of them in Yunjing (but on one condition: I can sing, happy birthday to you).

  If Zhou Jianping, the old birthday star, is not satisfied, he can invite no more than three dog-headed strategists, such as Uncle Shi and others, to come up with ideas (bad ideas, bad ideas, whatever). As long as the old birthday girl is happy, everything is nothing. But it’s China people’s birthdays, and it’s the birthday girl who pays for it and treats them to longevity noodles. The small vault of the old birthday girl must be relaxed, and two stacks should be taken out to invite the birthday party, and the pig eight quit to eat distiller’s grains — — Drunk and full.

  I owe too much, please ask the birthday girl to add a few more.

Stupid husband Merrill Lynch

Done at Makoka, Japan on December 15th, 2003.

  This is my daily life with Merrill Lynch. In the past twenty years, the reason why I have lived a "honey mixed with oil" life with Merrill Lynch is only because he is a person with interesting personality and soul.

  ▲ IOUs for Zhou Jianping’s birthday in 2002.

  All encounters in the world are reunions after a long separation, and the arrival of our youngest son is indeed a gift from God. Therefore, Teacher Feng Jicai named our youngest son Han Tianyu.

  Our family has also become more complete because of the arrival of Tian Yu, although he came late.

  Tian Yu’s aura is really big, and he went to the hot search less than two months after he was born. He really should go on the hot search, because it’s really not easy for him all the way.

  Before Tianyu was born, my secretary helped me download an APP called "Pro-Baby" on my mobile phone, and suggested that I upload photos or videos about my baby every day after he was born, so as to leave precious memories for my child in the future. On the afternoon when we were going to take our children back to China, the red sunset lit up the sky. I pulled Merrill Lynch with my children in my arms and asked the secretary to record a video for us, wishing my son to come to the world and wish him to return to his motherland soon.

  Before boarding the plane, I shared this happiness with several of our friends. Perhaps my friends couldn’t hold back their joy and shared this seemingly "official announcement" video to some unknown WeChat group. This news is like a flood that overflowed the dike. Our plane hasn’t landed in Beijing yet, and this video has been searched hot. After all this trepidation, I think, isn’t this good news worthy of everyone’s blessing?

  I remember one morning in 2005, when the fragrance of osmanthus fragrans was fragrant in Hangzhou Botanical Garden, Meilin and I were preparing to go out from Hanmeilin Art Museum in Hangzhou, and a group of aunts surrounded our car. We quickly rolled down the window, only to hear the aunts say loudly: "We have nothing to do, I hope you have a little Han Meilin."

  This sentence has been lingering in my ear.

  In fact, in 2005, Merrill Lynch and I were pregnant with a child. Because of my status as a civil servant, according to the family planning policy at that time, if the child was born, not only would I have to be fined and resign myself, but also the relevant leaders of our unit would have to reduce their salary by one level.

  Considering that the blueprint for Han Meilin’s art career was just opened at that time, considering that my parents were more concerned about my status as a civil servant, and considering that Merrill Lynch’s daughter Xiaocao just came of age and my own son knew that he was underage … … Think before and after, can only reluctantly give up. Later, when someone mentioned "Little Han Meilin" again, my heart would ache faintly.

  With the career going upstairs, parents’ release, and son’s adulthood … … In my heart, the expectation of having a child for Merrill Lynch is getting stronger and stronger. But as Merrill Lynch and I get older, I still set foot on the road of IVF without hesitation. According to my personality, as long as I know the right way, no matter how difficult it is, I will go on.

  In ten years, only I know how difficult this road is. In the first seven years, I basically made progress by groping, took many detours and even suffered many blows. Because I used hormones, I gained ten kilograms. Until I met a senior international IVF (in vitro fertilization technology, commonly known as "in vitro fertilization") doctor, he said that in order to ensure the quality of eggs and minimize physical harm, he suggested that I take eggs in the natural cycle. For this dream, I took it for three years. In order to save time, I became intimate with a young female B-ultrasound doctor in a hospital near our home. She monitored the accuracy of follicles and amazed IVF doctors. In the past three years, several dreams that I accompanied failed to persist and gave up halfway. Only I have been on the road.

  In fact, on the road of IVF, taking eggs is the first step of the long March, and then it has to go through various difficult processes such as embryo cultivation, transplantation, monitoring, inoculation and production.

  I can’t forget that on a rainy autumn day, I experienced five failures and went to Lingyin Temple accompanied by Zhu Xuebin, the curator of Hangzhou. After seeing off Guanyin, my mood once collapsed and I couldn’t afford to kneel for a long time.

  Aren’t the three Han Meilin art galleries our "children"? God loves us enough, we should be satisfied! A book called "Selfish Genes" wrote: "Because of the emergence of culture, the ultimate task of our life will not only be reproduction, but also the creation and inheritance of culture." Any great man’s genes are only a few generations, but his thoughts and works are still celebrated hundreds of years later. This is called "Mime" in the book and can be regarded as a cultural gene. Therefore, there are many ways to realize the value of life, and you don’t have to pass on your own biological genes.

  I once discussed with Merrill Lynch to give up having children, but the words of our good friend, Mr. Lisa Lu, gave me renewed courage. She said that on June 20, 2012, she was filming in Dayong City, Hunan Province, and there was a "begging cave" there, which was said to be very effective. Teacher Lisa Lu put a begging lock in the "begging cave" to pray for Merrill Lynch and me, and has been praying for us ever since. She suggested that we should not be discouraged and continue to work hard.

  After listening to teacher Lu, I decided to try again for the last time.

  This time, it worked!

  On January 13, 2018, Hanmen added Ding, and the sky came. He is lucky because he has a father who can be proud of all his life — — Han Meilin. His arrival can be described as taking advantage of the favorable weather, geographical location and people. The country has opened the second child policy, Merrill Lynch’s career is booming, the three Han Meilin art galleries are developing steadily, and the horn of the global tour has sounded … … It’s just the right time.

  ▲ Heaven is coming.

  Our good friend Wei Minglun sent a congratulatory message:

  Liang Hao was the top scholar at the age of 80.

  Merrill Lynch is 82 years old!

  Today’s story goes down in history!

  Our good friend Yang Long saw Tian Yu’s photo and said:

  The heaven is full and talented.

  Two ears thick paste, lovely and amiable.

  Eyes are black and white, and love and hate are distinct.

  Have a good nose and a kind heart.

  On the morning of the thirty-eighth day of Tianyu’s birth, Merrill Lynch began all kinds of tossing. He took out a vest he had worn, and found a sock given by Tian Yu. After sewing the sock on the vest, he wrote the pinyin given by Tian Yu under the sock, cut a number of "38" and designed a Logo for decoration, so he pieced together a "Tian Yu brand jersey" with these elements. Merrill Lynch wore this "No.38 jersey" and POSS for me to take a picture of him and send it to his friends. He wanted to show Han Mengtian in such a special way — The good news of the old mussel begets pearls.

  ▲ Tianyu brand No.38 jersey

  In fact, when I first told Merrill Lynch the idea of having a child, he didn’t approve of it very much. Because we are worried that we are old, we will have no energy to train our children in the future. At my insistence, Merrill Lynch compromised and joined hands with me to realize our dream. Since the arrival of children, Merrill Lynch’s love for children has exceeded all expectations, almost to the point of playing "children".

  When my son’s saliva dripped on the painting that my father was creating, Merrill Lynch said, "It doesn’t matter, this is a work that my son and I created together!" " Holding my son in one hand and painting in the other, we don’t give up for such a long time. We are worried that he is too tired and want him to have a rest. Where is he willing to give up?

  Sometimes I joke with Merrill Lynch: "Merrill Lynch, if you offend me one day, I will run away with my son." Merrill Lynch said, "Then you will really kill me!" Tian Yu liked the calligraphy of "being good as water" written by his father outside his door since he was a child. Whenever his son looked at these four words and giggled, Merrill Lynch always jokingly said, "Is this the first generation of Laozi?"

  Once we took our son to get vaccinated, and when he was crying, he didn’t forget to say to his father, "Dad, you have my snot on you. Wipe it quickly." When the son often rides his car and lets his father chase after him, his father said after two laps, "Dad is tired and can’t chase." The son will say, "Dad, pay attention to your health!" " Said and rode away … … At this point, Merrill Lynch’s father was bursting with love. He said, "I will quit my career in the future. My career is my son."

  On Tian Yu’s first birthday, Merrill Lynch wrote the word "life" to his son. Merrill Lynch said: "Life" is given by parents. Although the process is tortuous, I believe it is an act of God (Merrill Lynch stamped many seals of "God’s will" and "Good luck" under the word "life"); "Life" is in your own hands. Everyone has one life. I hope your life is complete and you live a long life (Merrill Lynch stamped many seals of "Buddha" and "longevity" under the word "life").

  ▲ Dad gave Tianyu a birthday present.

  Maybe it’s because of genes that Tian Yu can draw before he is one year old. I’m ashamed of the sectors he painted. Since my son learned to walk, he likes to draw pictures and stamp everywhere. Merrill Lynch said to his son, "You robbed me of my job before you were one year old?" When my son was less than two years old, one day, the secretary took down an ink cow and prepared to frame it. I liked it at first sight and thought it was Merrill Lynch’s new work, but the secretary said it was painted by heaven! I can’t believe my eyes! It was not until I found the inscription on Merrill Lynch’s son’s work that I readily accepted this fact: "On December 24, 2020, my boss painted a tiger and an old horse, and my father added three strokes, which was quite old-fashioned." Merrill Lynch proudly said: "My son is either a genius or a talent, at least not a fool. It is said that it takes five children in Jewish life to produce an excellent one. My son is the fifth. " Every time I see Tian Yu’s growth, my brother always says, "How are children’s genes optimized now?"

  ▲ Tian Yu painted a cow when he was less than three years old.

  Wang Luxiang, a teacher from Phoenix TV, said that Merrill Lynch’s artistic life reflected a new dimension because of the arrival of his youngest son. Yes, since 2018, the quantity and quality of Merrill Lynch’s works have probably set a historical record, which can be proved by the "Han Meilin Zodiac Art Exhibition" held in Wenhua Hall of the Palace Museum on January 5, 2019. In addition, Merrill Lynch has successively created stamps of Ding You Nian, Ji Hai Nian and Geng Zi Nian, which is unprecedented in the history of China Zodiac stamps.

  On December 21, 2019, another special pavilion of Merrill Lynch — — Yixing Han Meilin Zisha Art Museum was successfully opened. Facing Anhui guests, Merrill Lynch said, "I suffered so much when I was young. I hope my son will not suffer in the future. I have suffered for him."

  Merrill Lynch often says to friends with emotion: "My son’s arrival didn’t affect my creation, but it took my art to a higher level, which I didn’t expect. My life has come to a successful conclusion because of the arrival of my youngest son. I didn’t expect that I would achieve a positive result in my later years. "

  Since Tianyu went to kindergarten, Merrill Lynch insisted on picking up her son by herself. One day, because he couldn’t see his son off, he sent his son to the gate. His son asked his father to chase his car, and his father chased it all the way out of the gate … … When Merrill Lynch walked back alone, a morning exercise grandfather shouted at Merrill Lynch: "Teacher Han is in good health!" " Merrill Lynch said shyly, "Thank you, thank you!" When I got home, Merrill Lynch said to me, "If you live in people’s hearts, you will live forever."

  The "love dividend" between me and Merrill Lynch is far more than one from Xiaotian, and my eldest daughter Xiaocao and my eldest son know it. Apart from going hand in hand in their careers, the brothers and sisters also have one thing in common: the first time after Merrill Lynch and I reorganized our family, Xiaocao called me "mom" and clearly called Merrill Lynch "dad". Now the brothers and sisters especially like their younger brothers. They have the concept of caring for and educating their younger brothers, which is worth learning.

  ▲ With my daughter Xiaocao

  When I married Merrill Lynch, Xiaocao was eighteen years old. She was a very innocent girl and looked like Merrill Lynch. Before the age of five, Xiaocao was well educated and cared for. Like today’s children, she can play piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. After the age of five, because she was separated from her mother, Merrill Lynch also neglected to train her daughter. Father and daughter live together, and Merrill Lynch is often seen carrying her daughter out on a bicycle. At that time, Merrill Lynch, who was in the prosperous period of her career, often entrusted her daughter to her aunt at home until Xiaocao went to study in Canada. After returning to China, Xiaocao has worked in the society for many years, such as making movies, running pet magazines, running a Japanese food store, being a club manager, a cultural and creative manager, etc. She has accumulated rich social experience and sometimes judged people and things more accurately than me.

  ▲ Know with your son.

  My son came to Beijing at the age of 15. After being taught by Merrill Lynch and me, he went to the United States to study. He graduated from the University of Southern California with a bachelor’s degree in economics. After returning to China, he completed the EMBA program in Tsinghua University and obtained a master’s degree in business administration from the Chinese University of Hong Kong. At present, in addition to serving as the chairman of Beijing Tianpin Yixuan Culture and Art Co., Ltd. and deputy secretary-general of Han Meilin Art Foundation, he is still studying in Tsinghua Wudaokou Finance College for EMBA. He has grown into a modest gentleman. I worked in the investment banking department of Bank of China International (Hong Kong) and worked in the first-line IPO (initial public offering) executive team for two years, responsible for the listing of H shares and red chips of mainland enterprises in Hong Kong. Due to the financial turmoil a few years ago, Merrill Lynch and I hope our son will turn to writing to create a new field. He listened to our opinions and focused on the research and development of art derivatives and the operation of artist IP incubation. Tianpin Yixuan, founded at present, is the first company in China that focuses on the IP operation of artists and the research and development of derivatives, and has set a benchmark for IP authorized operation of domestic artists in the industry. The art derivatives launched have won unanimous praise in the industry. In the investment field, as a personal angel investor, the investment scope covers emerging industries such as TMT(TehonlogyMediaTelecon) and pan-entertainment; He has explored and invested in star enterprises in many sub-sectors, including Liangye Lighting (1.3 billion yuan sold to Bishuiyuan), Handing (GEM 300300), ICONIQ (Iconiq) new energy vehicle, bee mining machine, and Hermeng, and achieved outstanding investment performance.

  ▲ father and son

  Since last year, the two brothers and sisters have jointly developed art IP, which has achieved good results at home and abroad.

  Immediate family members should be the direct beneficiaries of my love bonus with Merrill Lynch, such as my parents. Although my father is two years older than Meilin and my mother is two years younger than Merrill Lynch, it has never affected their seniority. Every time Merrill Lynch meets her husband and mother-in-law, she always respects them and gives them a gift from Shandong people. Over the past twenty years, for my parents, Merrill Lynch has long been the pillar of our family, especially the birth of Tianyu has added a joy to our family.

  My father is a very honest man, and he can’t get used to some bad manners in society. On one occasion, he learned that the owners’ committee in his community would "change the dynasty" on the last day of the year-end, and a property company with insufficient qualifications that was not recognized by everyone would be introduced to replace the existing property company whose contract expired. My father called me in a hurry and said the voice of the public. After hearing about it, Merrill Lynch took my hand and flew back to Hangzhou quickly. That night, Merrill Lynch and the owners of the community stayed in the lobby of the community until the street sent the top property to settle in first, which relieved the owners’ heart disease, which also made my parents smile.

  Merrill Lynch said, as long as the parents-in-law feel comfortable, let him do anything. In order to keep my parents happy, Merrill Lynch sent a 3.5-meter-high bronze sculpture "White Horse Pride" to stand at the door of the community where my parents live. Merrill Lynch said: "Let my parents go in and out of the community every day to see the sculpture of their son-in-law."

  ▲ Take a photo with your parents in front of "White Horse Pride"

  The stone tablet of the sculpture "White Horse Pride" is engraved with the deep affection of Hangzhou son-in-law for the Grand Canal, the people of Hangzhou and, of course, his parents-in-law. The inscription reads: "The Grand Canal has a long history and guards the prosperity of coastal towns like a jade belt. The Han Meilin Art Museum in Beijing and Hangzhou is like a shining pearl on a jade belt, telling endless love with the Grand Canal. On the occasion of the seventieth anniversary of the founding of People’s Republic of China (PRC), Han Meilin put his masterpiece — — The sculpture "White Horse Pride" was donated to the people of Hangzhou, which made this love last forever. The sculpture is made of bronze, and its modeling style is from Han and Tang Dynasties. After galloping, the hind hoof leaps in the air, and the front hoof stretches out like a leap. The overall modeling is full of rhythm and movement. The decoration of the horse body is simple and smart, which complements the shape and highlights the momentum of running the horse. The horse’s head is high and the screams seem to resound through the sky. The ponytail is different from a horse, like a dragon, and blends with the waves. "

  "Pride of the White Horse" shows the spirit of the Tianma, which is brave and galloping thousands of miles. The Tianma comes from the waves and is full of vitality. It is the witness of the times when the history and reality of the Grand Canal meet and the nature and humanity blend, and it also entrusts the author with deep friendship and good wishes for the Grand Canal.

  These 20 years are also the most harmonious years between Merrill Lynch and his brother and younger brother. If Merrill Lynch had no time to take care of relatives because of suffering and entrepreneurship before, then when Merrill Lynch’s career is getting better and better in the past 20 years, the first thing that comes to mind is to share its happiness with relatives.

  ▲ Merrill Lynch three brothers

  We bought houses for Merrill Lynch’s brother and younger brother respectively in the local area, and let them live a happy life with their children and grandchildren around their knees. On holidays, we will take them to Beijing, or travel to other places. When we meet the exhibition of Merrill Lynch, my brother and my whole family will come to join us. Unfortunately, our time together is still too short. Merrill Lynch’s brother and younger brother left us due to illness in 2018 and 2020 respectively.

  Merrill Lynch’s eldest brother is a kind and elegant person. After the army changed jobs, he went to Shanghai Songjiang Museum as a curator. His work was serious and rigorous, but he was the shopkeeper of cutting at home, and his eldest sister-in-law did all the housework.

  When I married Merrill Lynch, I didn’t tell you the news of our marriage in advance because I was afraid of gifts from my friends. At the opening ceremony of Han Meilin’s fifth solo exhibition in China Art Museum, when Merrill Lynch directly announced our marriage, we didn’t even know that Big Brother had specially prepared a wedding message in advance. It was not until that time that my eldest brother left Beijing that he gave me his own handwritten wedding message, which I have treasured so far. Now, the eldest brother has died in a crane. Looking at this wedding message, I still feel the sound in my ears:

  Today is the wedding day of Jianping of Merrill Lynch. On behalf of Merrill Lynch’s relatives, I would like to thank all the leaders, relatives and friends for coming.

  Merrill Lynch and Jianping have made remarkable achievements in their careers, and they have made brilliant achievements in their respective careers that even their peers are surprised by. Perhaps God has long been in love with them, making their lives full of hardships, encouraging them to work hard in adversity, exercising their will, and then letting them combine happily when they know the true meaning of life. Today, this happy moment has finally arrived. I thank Jianping and her family for marrying such an excellent bride to Merrill Lynch. This is the blessing of Merrill Lynch and the blessing of Merrill Lynch. I hope they will treat each other as guests like Liang Hong and Meng Guang and be happy forever. Here, I once again thank my friends and relatives who are here today. I propose: Let’s raise our glasses and wish Merrill Lynch Jianping a happy life. Cheers!

Han Furong Su Hongqi

  Life is short. Brother, this wedding message is still appropriate today.

  Merrill Lynch’s younger brother, Lao San, works in Baoding Aircraft Factory. What impressed him the most was that he especially loved playing Santa Claus. Every year before Christmas, he will take his chickens from Baoding and take a long-distance bus to Beijing to play Santa Claus and celebrate his second brother’s birthday. When I buy clothes for Merrill Lynch, I usually buy them for my eldest brother and my third son. When my third son comes home, I always ask him to put on new clothes as soon as possible. The third son in new clothes will make us happy by walking along the model steps.

  Old three especially likes to eat fat meat. I’m worried about high blood fat and told him to eat less. Lao San told me that he often exercised on the railway, so I quickly called his wife and told her to watch Lao San and never let him exercise there again, which was not safe. When the third brother and the second brother Merrill Lynch don’t meet, they always think that they will pinch as soon as they meet, and sometimes they will argue over dumplings or Yuanxiao. At this time, I will criticize Merrill Lynch, and the elder brother should give way to the younger brother!

  At the end of 2017, during Merrill Lynch’s 80 th Exhibition in the National Museum, Shanghai’s eldest brother was seriously ill. We asked our third and third daughter-in-law in Baoding to visit her eldest brother and sister-in-law in Shanghai first, and then we went. On the New Year’s Eve of 2018, Merrill Lynch and I rushed to Shanghai to get together with our eldest brother, eldest sister-in-law and third daughter-in-law, and had a reunion year. Unexpectedly, the third child left Shanghai and returned to Baoding, and he was also very ill. In the spring of 2019, I went to Baoding with Merrill Lynch and my eldest sister-in-law. The third child who was not very conscious took out a notebook for me. I saw that the handwriting was neat, like finishing a novel. Looking at it again, it turns out that Lao San is copying the paragraphs in my book "Never Fade". I don’t understand why Lao San copied this. Is it to practice calligraphy?

  Up to now, what is indelible in my mind is that when we visited the temple fair in Beijing that year, I wore a lovely red wig for my third child and the figure of strawberries and Toona sinensis that my third child sent every spring.

  Merrill Lynch’s mother asked before her death that the three brothers should unite. Today, only Merrill Lynch is left among the three United brothers.

  Fortunately, there are three apprentices in Merrill Lynch who are not better sons than sons. They are Xu Dekuan, Zhao Jinxin and Lu Wuke. Xu Dekuan has been with Merrill Lynch for more than 30 years, and Zhao Jinxin and Lu Wuke have been with them for more than 20 years. They are with Merrill Lynch every day and never leave. I thank them from the bottom of my heart, because Merrill Lynch has their company, so I can open my arms and do my career. I also want to thank them for their meticulous care of Tian Yu’s younger brother. Whenever I see three brothers lying on the ground pretending to be knocked down, I feel very gratified when they are drenched by their younger brother’s water gun, because I know that playing with my brothers can better cultivate children’s masculinity.

  ▲ Merrill Lynch and three apprentices

  Merrill Lynch will proudly say to everyone, "Do you know how sculptures in dozens of cities have been completed in recent years? It was I who brought these three apprentices! " It is puzzling that these three apprentices are supposed to be with Merrill Lynch longer than I am, but they are all a little afraid of their teachers, which is probably "strict teachers make excellent students". In art, teachers are always hard on students. However, in life, Merrill Lynch treated them like parents. When our economy was not well off, Merrill Lynch bought a house and a car for Xu Dekuan, and then bought a house for Zhao Jinxin and Lu Wuke, so that their whole family could live in Beijing without worry. In addition, if the disciples have things at home, such as sick relatives and children going to school, we will take care of them.

  In fact, Han Meilin Studio used to be very powerful. Before Merrill Lynch, there were many apprentices. Some of them thrived under the training of Merrill Lynch, made great achievements and started their own businesses. Now they are also famous in the society, such as Ji Feng and Wang Zhigang. Some were naturally eliminated because they were not enterprising and the pattern was too small, and some even embarked on the road of no return … …

  Everyone knows that there is a housekeeper Chen in our family. Her name is Chen Lihua. I have been married to Merrill Lynch for 20 years, and she has been with us for 20 years. At first, she was the lawyer of a friend of Merrill Lynch. At that time, because the cause of Merrill Lynch was in urgent need of a lawyer, Lihua took on this role naturally.

  Lihua is a talented student in northwest university of politics and law. She grew up in Yinchuan, the second child in her family. She is a talented woman who is both rational and emotional. Maybe Lihua and I are both Sagittarius. We hit it off in all aspects, and Sagittarius has a good relationship with Capricorn, so we all hit it off with Merrill Lynch. As a result, the pattern of "three people, there must be my teacher" was formed. We often "choose the good ones and follow them, and change the bad ones". In this way, we have come to this day hand in hand.

  At that time, there was no Han Meilin Art Museum. Except for some works by Merrill Lynch, we basically started from scratch. My father is the director of the Personnel Department of Zhejiang Post and Telecommunications Administration, and he is very strict in dealing with people. When I went north, my father warned me that it was best to clear up the old accounts at home and start from scratch. So, Lihua and I sorted out the accounts owed by others to Merrill Lynch and those owed by Merrill Lynch. At that time, I realized that a great artist’s family is so thin that I need to take out my savings from Hangzhou when I get a bonus at the end of the year. Therefore, Lihua and I worked hard to create a new situation in Merrill Lynch’s art career.

  Over the past 20 years, we have made every effort to carry forward Merrill Lynch’s art. Numerous urban sculptures have been erected throughout the country, four Han Meilin Art Museums have been established, the Han Meilin Art Foundation has been established, many primary schools have been built, and many Merrill Lynch classrooms … … Lihua and I are golden partners. She is a lawyer and cautious, while I am bold and decisive. When I am in the front, she always cleans up the mess for me in the rear, and has no regrets.

  ▲ 20 years of wind and rain with Chen Guanjia

  I remember that when we demonstrated the construction of the first two Han Meilin art galleries, our opinions differed. My optimism about the problem and her pessimism about the problem form two distinct camps. And my character is often not to persuade her step by step, but to show off to her after actual combat. In the end, she will sincerely feel sorry for my efforts while accepting my victory. So that after the construction of two Han Meilin art galleries, she chose to believe and fight alongside me.

  Ten years ago, we started planning to establish the Han Meilin Art Foundation. When Lihua learned that the initial capital was 20 million RMB, the work was delayed. Until one day, I hit home Lihua’s mind. I said, "Lihua, isn’t it that 20 million yuan will be injected into the foundation account, and the future will be national and cannot be reversed?" I am willing! " As a result, Lihua officially started the foundation registration process. There is another unforgettable thing. On the day of the first "Han Meilin Day" on December 21st, 2013, Lihua couldn’t go back to Yinchuan to see her father off because she wanted to organize activities. I still can’t forgive myself for this.

  In order to facilitate her work, many years ago, Lihua became a semi-retired lawyer. She moved her family to a place close to us and devoted most of her energy to Merrill Lynch’s career. Many jobs of Han Meilin Art Foundation and Han Meilin Art Museum cannot be separated from her. Her small home is decorated like a small art salon, which is sure to win the favor of her colleagues.

  Can a senior lawyer "rebel" into a senior art practitioner, isn’t this a love bonus for me and Merrill Lynch?

The first stage of the final of Chinese billiards World Championships ended, and the women’s team champion was born today.

Elephant journalist Zhu Liyan correspondent Jin Li

The 6th CBSA Chinese Billiards World Championship ended the first stage of the men’s and women’s finals on December 14th.

Another semi-final was played between Shen Shenyi and Xu Tianwei, two "dark horses". With the lead of two games, Shen Shenyi firmly held the advantage in the second stage and never gave Xu Tianwei a chance to approach the gap. At the end of the game, Shen Shenyi became more and more brave, beating Xu Tianwei 21-13, and reached the final of the World Championships for the first time in his career.

In the women’s team, Tang Chunxiao won three games in a row to widen the gap with Zhang Muyan in the case of little stalemate in the first 10 games. After that, Zhang Muyan tried to catch up and once caught up with 8-10. At the crucial moment, Tang Chunxiao paused to hold her ground, and then she won three of the last four games and won 13-9.

Liu Xiazhi’s match against He Xinru was uneventful, and Liu Xiazhi beat his opponent 13-3 after a brief entanglement in the opening.

According to the schedule, the men’s final is 41 wins in 81 games, which is divided into four stages, and the final stage will start at 14:00 on December 16th.

The first stage of the women’s final also played 18 games. At the beginning of the game, Tang Chunxiao felt hot. On the contrary, Liu Xiazhi made frequent mistakes, and Tang Chunxiao kept leading and made a brutal start of 12-0. In the 13th game, Liu Xiazhi finally scored 1 point, but in the face of Tang Chunxiao’s offensive, Liu Xiazhi was always difficult to score a climax. After 18 games, Tang Chunxiao was far ahead with 14-4.

In addition, the women’s third and fourth finals ended last night, and Zhang Muyan beat He Xinru 13-10 and won the third place. John young led Xu Tianwei 11-7 in the first stage of the men’s third and fourth finals.

The national team finds the right direction to start the reform of China volleyball in the domestic league.

Jingbao Sports | Reporter Zhuo Ran
In 2022, the first year of the Paris Olympic cycle, China men’s and women’s volleyball teams frequently appeared in the international arena, exercised their teams against the world’s top players, made some achievements, identified their goals and directions, and at the same time found their own shortcomings and recognized the gap. Generally speaking, the upward climb of men’s and women’s volleyball in China, which is in the alternation of old and new, faces both opportunities and challenges.
The women’s volleyball team is gradually on track.
The shadow of losing the Tokyo Olympic Games still exists, Zhu Ting and Zhang Changning are absent, Yan Ni and other veterans retire … Cai Bin took over the coach of China women’s volleyball team in a difficult situation. This year, under his leadership, the tenacious China women’s volleyball team once again proved the powerful strength of the women’s volleyball spirit.
The 2022 World Women’s Volleyball League is the first show of the new China women’s volleyball team under Cai Bin. In the first competition week, China women’s volleyball team reversed the Dutch team, defeated the Turkish team and defeated the Italian team, and even scored 3 wins and 1 loss, which was remarkable. In the following two races, the performance of China women’s volleyball team was mixed. In the end, it broke into the quarterfinals of the World Women’s Volleyball League with 12 games, 8 wins and 4 losses, and achieved the set goal. Although it lost to the Italian team which won the championship in the quarter-finals, it missed the semi-finals, but in the debut of this new women’s volleyball team, this team made people see the impact and hope.
Coach Cai Bin bluntly said after the game that the 13 matches of the World Women’s Volleyball League were very valuable experiences, which helped the team find the direction of efforts. Although the team is not mature enough, Jin Ye and Wang Yun, two Mesozoic main attackers from Beijing Automobile Women’s Volleyball Team, dared to fight and fight to make up for the vacancy on the main attack line of this team as much as possible. Li Yingying, Gong Xiangyu and Yuan Xinyue, through constant tempering, have also taken on the offensive and defensive responsibilities of the team.
Before the start of the World Women’s Volleyball Championships, perhaps not many people can say with great confidence that the goal of China women’s volleyball reaching the quarterfinals can be achieved with a high probability. In the World Championships, China women’s volleyball team defeated Argentina, Colombia, Japan and the Czech Republic with four scores of 3-0 in the group stage, and it was not until it met the powerful Brazil team in the final round that it swallowed its first defeat in the World Championships. In the semi-finals, China women’s volleyball team beat Puerto Rico lightly, narrowly defeated the Netherlands and defeated the Belgian team in five games, and successfully advanced to the quarterfinals, achieving the set goals. Facing the Italian team again in the quarter-finals, the China women’s volleyball team was weaker than its opponents in all technical aspects, lost 1-3, stopped in the quarter-finals, and finally ended the journey of the World Championships with the sixth place.
From the World Women’s Volleyball League to the World Women’s Volleyball Championships, in just a few months, this China women’s volleyball team has shown its own progress, played its morale and self-confidence, and let the outside world see a brand-new mental outlook. However, in the confrontation with the world’s top teams such as Italy and Brazil, the team’s inexperience, unstable state and many mistakes are also exposed.
Cai Bin said in an interview after the World Championships that young players have grown up rapidly through the experience of the World Championships, with both regrets and gains. Facing the top teams in the world, China team should continue to tap its potential and build a system of balanced attack and defense.
In 2022, we saw the potential and hope from this China women’s volleyball team. In 2023, intensive international competitions such as the World Women’s Volleyball League, the Asian Games and the Paris Olympic qualifiers are waiting for the girls, expecting China women’s volleyball team with fine traditions to achieve new success.
Men’s volleyball team wins Asian championship again
Looking back on 2022, it is a great encouragement for China men’s volleyball team and China volleyball team that China men’s volleyball team won the Asian Cup again after 10 years, which can even be called a big event in domestic sports. However, in the eyes of many fans, if we want to rank the surprises brought by China men’s volleyball team this year, it may be more exciting that they beat the powerful Brazilian team in the World Men’s Volleyball League.
In recent years, there are not many opportunities to compete in the international arena, and the China men’s volleyball team has rarely performed brilliantly. In the 2022 World Men’s Volleyball League in Brazil, China men’s volleyball team lost all three games, and the whole team was in the haze of defeat. In the final round against Brazil, no one believed that China men’s volleyball team could win. However, in the competition, the boys of China men’s volleyball team played to the extreme in attacking and blocking, and finally overthrew Brazil, the world’s No.1 team, 3-0, and won a victory to rebuild their confidence. After that, China men’s volleyball team was influenced by many factors, failed to continue its stable performance, and finally handed over the report card of 12 games, 3 wins and 9 losses.
After a short break, China men’s volleyball team entered the Asian Cup non-stop. Beat China Taipei Team and Bahrain Team with two scores of 3-1, swept Pakistan Team, defeated Iran Team, and defeated South Korea Team in five games-China Men’s Volleyball Team reached the final and ushered in the ultimate contest with Japanese Team. With Zhang Jingyin’s excellent performance and the team’s good performance in blocking and serving, China men’s volleyball team finally won the championship with a 3-0 victory.
In the Asian Cup competition, China Men’s Volleyball Team actively adjusted and finally won many times when the score was behind, which improved the team morale and ushered in a highlight moment. However, at the World Men’s Volleyball Championships that followed, in the confrontation with the top teams in the world, China Men’s Volleyball Team did not win a game, and was at the bottom of the group, seeing the gap between itself and its opponents.
Through the tempering of this year’s World Series, the combat effectiveness and cohesion of China Men’s Volleyball Team have been further improved, and the outside world has also seen the role of senior national players such as Zhang Jingyin, Dai Qingyao, Yu Yaochen and Peng Shikun, as well as the growth of young players such as Yang Yiming. At the same time, the team also exposed shortcomings and shortcomings, and head coach Wu Sheng and the players attached great importance to this. Wu Sheng said that the gap between China men’s volleyball team and the world’s high-level teams is still very large, "not only technically, but also in physical fitness, physical fitness and understanding of volleyball."
In the coming year, China Men’s Volleyball Team also has a heavy international competition task, the most crucial of which is the Paris Olympic qualifiers. What kind of performance the boys will show is worth looking forward to.
League launched reform measures
At present, the 2022-2023 China Volleyball Super League is in full swing, with 28 teams participating in the men’s and women’s volleyball leagues.
At the beginning of this year, the National Volleyball Work Conference was held. Under the active promotion of the State Sports General Administration, the volleyball league started the reform work. This season’s Super League has ushered in new breakthroughs and changes, and launched a series of new measures, including the launch of the league slogan of "bravely surpassing, fighting first", further building the brand marketing system, improving the brand system and enhancing brand value, and the league competition system is developing in a more standardized direction.
The foreign aid policy is one of the most remarkable changes in the league. This season, there is no limit to the number, position and number of foreign aid players in the Super League, which makes the number of foreign aid imports hit a new high in recent seasons, including many top-level athletes in the world. Judging from the course of the competition, this move has really further improved the antagonism and competitive level of the competition. Many young players have also gained more opportunities to learn and exercise with the help of high-level foreign aid.
It is also undeniable that the problems of low commercialization level and poor management and operation mechanism of the Super League still exist. Volleyball, as one of the three big balls, has not reached its due position and level in domestic league matches, nor has it shown its unique value.
As the cornerstone of the national team construction, the reform and development of the league still has a long way to go, and it needs to find the right direction and make contributions for a long time.

Panda hits the audience and turns "boycott" into a Don Quixote joke.


  Kung Fu Panda, a Hollywood summer animation masterpiece, officially appeared in China on Friday. At the premiere of the Shanghai Film Festival yesterday, artist Zhao Bandi’s appeal that "everyone in China should boycott Kung Fu Panda" obviously became a Don Quixote joke. There is a long queue in the second hall of Shanghai Cinema, and the audience is full. The Kung Fu Panda has not yet started, and the atmosphere at the scene has been very lively by a lovely and huge panda doll. The panda "Po" played for 100 minutes and the audience laughed dozens of times. At the end of the screening, the audience expressed their love for the film with warm applause. "It’s so beautiful and awesome!" As a China-themed Hollywood movie, ordinary audiences in China feel happy and excited from Kung Fu Panda, while filmmakers in China should feel ashamed and humiliated.


  "Po" made the audience laugh from beginning to end.


  Kung Fu Panda shows a martial arts world, and you can even regard it as an animal version of Kung Fu. Without the animation coat, it is a simple story of a little person who won by luck, hard work and courage. The hero is the big and fat panda "Po". He is lazy, clumsy and greedy. He usually helps his father (a duck) in the noodle restaurant. Only in his dream, he is a handsome and cool warrior with superb kung fu. He stumbled into the "God" in the Great Fairy Point of the tortoise.


  The candidate of "Dragon Warrior" is the same as the five masters (tiger, monkey, crane, mantis and snake). Under the training of the "raccoon" master, he becomes a generation of dragon warrior, and finally defends "Peace Valley" and defeats the evil ambitious remnant leopard. Kung Fu Panda can make you laugh from beginning to end, and the dialogue, modeling, plot, details, animal expressions and martial arts movements are all hilarious. For example, Po tried his best to enter the tournament. He climbed the 1888 steps and was panting. When he finally climbed to the door, he was about to cheer, but the door just closed. His first contact with kung fu training and his violent beating by the master are very funny. The plots of Bao’s "grabbing buns", "acupuncture" and "stealing cookies" make the audience laugh through the panda’s embarrassing and rich expressions. However, being fat also has the advantage of being fat, because even "acupoints" are useless to him.


  Master "Po" isJackie Chan


  The humorous and sometimes ugly fighting action of "Po" reminds the audience of Jackie Chan’s movies. Indeed, director Stevenson once said that Jackie Chan is the most important when designing actions for "Po" because his kung fu is full of humor and is closest to the theme. At the same time, "Jet Li and Bruce Lee’s kung fu are all referenced, even including Stephen Chow (Q bar)." What’s more striking is that the voice cast of Kung Fu Panda is quite strong, with Jack Black providing the voice for Po, Dustin Hoffman providing the voice for Master Raccoon and Angelina Jolie providing the voice for Tiger. There are Jackie Chan, Liu Yuling and others, and the Chinese version invites stars such as Wilber Pan and Patty Hou to join us.


  As the director said, Kung Fu Panda is a "love letter" dedicated to China, and everything in this film comes from China. In the film, those kung fu, pandas, landscapes, Tai Chi, temple fairs, calligraphy and acupuncture belong to China; Animals eat noodles, use chopsticks, and Tigress wears a Tang suit. Monkeys, poisonous snakes, red-crowned cranes, tigers and mantis are the most famous and distinctive representatives of boxing martial arts in China.


  "China filmmakers should wake up."


  In the past, Hollywood films based on the theme of China were more or less criticized for "not being China enough and misreading China". In Kung Fu Panda, the reporter found that Hollywood seems to have really "read" China. Except for the characters and props, the concept and culture of the film are all Chinese. Both Panda Po and Canbao are trying to get the secret book of the Dragon, but in fact, there is not a word in the secret book. Po learned the true meaning of "believe in yourself" from the secret book without words. Master Oogway’s series of proverbs: Everything is predestined, there is no coincidence in the world, and he said "My time is up" and then turned into a fairy, all of which won the essence of China culture. It seems that after a long period of "training", Hollywood has gradually been able to control the "mysterious and complicated" China culture, instead of just using some specious China elements to put on a show. Therefore, Kung Fu Panda is enough to make all China filmmakers feel ashamed. A movie fan sighed after watching it, "Everything in this movie is from China, but why can’t people in China shoot it?" When talking about the so-called Kung Fu Panda, which calls for a boycott of "taking advantage of the fire to rob", more viewers feel that it is better to retreat from the net than to boycott it. "It’s time to wake up." Kung Fu Panda "is so beautiful. China filmmakers should be ashamed. If we don’t work hard, we will give away everything."


  "Kung Fu Panda" detonated at zero in Nanjing


  This summer’s opening blockbuster, Kung Fu Panda, a 3D animated blockbuster produced by American DreamWorks, will meet the audience in mainland China from tomorrow. At the screening meeting in Nanjing yesterday, "Kung Fu Panda" made the adult audience laugh, and the general reaction was "good-looking, worth seeing!" Manager Ouyang Chong of the Workers’ Studio said that the Workers’ Studio will detonate Kung Fu Panda at 0: 00 tonight, which is the first time they have detonated an animation at 0: 00.


  With the heavy landing of Kung Fu Panda on June 20th, the summer movie file in 2008 officially kicked off. Just like the fat figure of the fat panda "Po", this summer’s first shock wave is absolutely heavyweight. "We have been ready for a long time. This time, we took a total of three copies, two digital films and one digital film. The numbers are in Chinese and English. The film is only available in Chinese. Ten of the 13 halls will be used to play Kung Fu Panda. On average, there will be a rolling broadcast of this film every ten minutes to a quarter of an hour, which is the film with the highest screening density so far this year. Such a high screening density is comparable to Zhang Yimou’s "Golden Flower in the City". " Ouyang Chong told the reporter excitedly that Kung Fu Panda was completely operated according to Hollywood blockbusters, not a simple cartoon. Ouyang Chong also explained why Kung Fu Panda was so popular with them. "This film is not for children in the traditional sense, but also suitable for adults. There are many fashion elements, including many China elements and humorous elements unique to the West, which are familiar to most audiences. "


  In addition to setting a record for the first zero-point detonation cartoon, the copy of Kung Fu Panda is specially encrypted, which can only be released at a specific screening time. This has set a record for the animation copy and encryption. A copy of a movie that needs to be encrypted like this, the first one earlier this year was forbidden kingdom. Tongli

With the epidemic raging, many companies are still required not to return to work before a specific date after the legal holiday is extended for three days. For this reason, many companies have adopted online office, and white-collar workers in the workplace have experienced a brand-new working mode for a week.
Today, some enterprises have resumed collective work, but in order to minimize risks, more companies still require employees to work from home. For most people who are used to collective work, working from home faces many new challenges.
Temptation is everywhere. Some people haven’t woken up at the morning meeting, some people will hesitate to watch the drama or work first, and some people just want to slap the cat and have no intention to work. Besides, even if they are self-disciplined, some people are tortured by the family environment, the noise of children, the doubts of parents and the trivial things of life, all of which make people collapse.
Everyone has different methods on how to ensure work efficiency and quality in a comfortable environment, how to deal with many interferences such as family members, pets and daily life matters, and how to deal with various attendance reporting regulations implemented by the company to ensure efficiency.
Burning Finance interviewed 11 professionals and listened to their real feelings about working at home. Their common aspiration was: "I want to go to work, like a company!"
Family care affects work efficiency, but you can’t get angry.
Hu Qing is a 28-year-old packaging designer of Internet company.
I do design work and serve Party A. I am busy at ordinary times and have no time to rest. At the end of last year, my health really couldn’t stand it. I took an extra week off and went back to my hometown in advance. I thought, leave some time to spend with my family, pick up what I didn’t have time to do before, and draw some watercolors. I bought a whole set of tableware specially years ago, thinking of going back to Beijing a few days in advance after the year and cooking for myself. It was a good idea.
Results Due to the epidemic situation, the start-up time was extended indefinitely. We officially started work on the 3rd, and I have been working in my hometown since the fifth day, because I still have some unfinished work from years ago. But working from home is very inefficient.
Although affected by the epidemic, the Spring Festival is not allowed to visit, but because mom and dad live with grandparents, the children of grandpa’s brothers still come to worship the New Year in batches. Some people with children are noisy for hours, and they can’t work without talking; Even if there are no guests, the family is basically restless. My dad and grandpa like to provoke each other when they play chess, and then they quarrel. Grandpa likes to read the news one by one, and he likes to talk to himself when watching TV dramas. It’s no use putting on headphones. Grandma comes in every few minutes to deliver snacks. She wants to make sure that the water in my cup is always full and warm. My mother asks me once a day before cooking, what to eat today. It’s obviously love, and you can’t get angry, and I can’t explain the nature of my work clearly.
After staying at home for half a month, I felt that I had reached the limit. I went back to Beijing ahead of time against their wishes. Only after I returned to Beijing did I find that eating became a problem. At home, I eat with my mouth open. When I come back, I have to do everything myself because I can’t order takeout. Before returning to Beijing, my mother was worried that I wouldn’t be able to cook pasta. She prepared dried noodles, steamed bread and various cakes in advance, and bought me two boxes of milk and instant noodles. The food ordered from JD.COM should also be eaten sparingly. The most important thing is that the level is limited, and I don’t want to eat any more after eating a few meals made by myself. One night, I really wanted to eat hot pot, and the e-commerce couldn’t deliver it. I wanted to go to the supermarket and buy it now, but I was finally persuaded by my roommate. In an extraordinary period, a hot pot has become extravagant. The next day, her mother came to cook us a five-color jiaozi to satisfy our hunger.

I used to complain that I was too busy at work and didn’t have time to exercise my cooking skills. I thought I was a gourmet who was delayed by work, but now I think I may be thinking too much. I miss the days when I ordered takeout with my colleagues and ate and drank with friends after work. ……
After frying all the dishes that can be fried, there is only a quarrel left.
Tangtang 30-year-old media practitioner
My husband and I have been married for more than a year. Usually, we occasionally cook on weekends and flatter each other’s cooking skills, which is quite fun. This epidemic, cooking at home for more than ten days in a row and continuing to work at home, really collapsed.
At first, I fried my own meatballs under the remote guidance of my mother. Up to now, we have compressed it into buying vegetables once every 10 days and eating two meals a day, and usually only one meal is decent, and the other meal is mainly leftovers. If you can’t do it again, quickly freeze jiaozi, stir-fried rice with eggs and cook instant noodles for two meals, and skip dinner for another meal on the grounds of losing weight. Moreover, we often cook when we are hungry, and we are already hungry when we are ready.

We are both media people. Sometimes both of us have jobs and can’t cook. From time to time, we have to stage a decisive battle, waiting for each other to cook first. But the most angry thing is that he came to work several times as soon as the meal arrived. I don’t know if it was coincidence or intentional. And after I finish cooking, he always says, "Don’t wash the dishes, let me do it", but in the end, the dishes of each meal are put into the next one, and only when there is no way to cook can they be washed.
The office environment at home is also very poor. It is quite comfortable to work alone at a table, but two people will fight if they sit on their elbows in rows, and they will also affect each other if they are too close. In the end, I always put my computer on my lap to write in bed. After a few days, my waist and neck ached. In the end, I could only find a table that had not been used for ten thousand years and set up a temporary job. I changed jobs in front of the table.
I want to go back to work, the kind that goes to the company, the kind that can go out for dinner.
It depends on DDL to decompress cats at home every day and improve work efficiency.
Keke is 27 years old and an employee of a public relations company.
I have been working from home for five days. When I first knew that I wanted to work from home, I thought it would be particularly cool, but I may have overestimated my self-discipline. We have a routine meeting every morning, and I can basically guarantee that I am awake during the meeting. But working from home, I feel very insecure, because I can’t see others. Working from home may be half as efficient as before. When you are bored or anxious, and no one talks, it is easy to brush Tik Tok to relieve stress.
I think there is still the biggest challenge in working from home, that is, how to refrain from bothering the cats at home. My cat has been annoyed by me recently and attacks me every day. Moreover, working from home, buying food and eating is also a difficult problem. Since the closed management of the community, it is too much trouble to bring a pass when going out. I tried to order vegetables online, but I couldn’t grab vegetables until noon every day. I simply hoarded a pile of quick-frozen jiaozi and instant noodles and lived on them every day.

Recently, the cat food at home is almost out of ammunition, and the merchant said that it would not be delivered until the tenth. Recently, our cat is always looking out of the window with a worried face, probably wondering if the shovel officer is unemployed, and there is no canned cat to eat anymore.
I feel that after working from home, the communication efficiency within the company has improved, and the boss basically has to be on call when he calls me. But it’s not necessarily when contacting customers. Yesterday, I made an appointment with a customer for a meeting at 2 pm, but I didn’t reply until 6 pm. I think DDL (deadline) is the most useful thing to improve work efficiency.
This morning, the company informed us to continue working at home, and I feel that I can make a quick-frozen dumpling evaluation soon. I really want to go to work
Please be kind to the "cooks" who cook while working.
Ma Ning, 35, vice president of investment in entertainment workshop
Our investment in this line has always required frequent cross-regional audio and video conferences, and I am also a veteran user of many online office software, so I was not caught off guard by the matter of "working from home". However, this time, the large-scale collective work at home in China has made me realize some changes.
First, everyone saves commuting time, and no one has an excuse to be late anymore. If you need to hold a meeting at any time, basically let us know 10 minutes in advance and give you time to prepare briefly, and you can immediately enter the meeting.
Second, the efficiency of the meeting has been greatly improved. Unlike in the past, when people met face to face, we first exchanged pleasantries and chatted gossip, then waited for colleagues who were not here, or ordered a cup of coffee and took a takeaway from time to time. Now, audio and video conferences are straight to the point and only talk about dry goods.

Third, the value of collaborative office and online conference tools has been maximized. In the past, many software users only dabbled in the most basic functions, but now they are using some functions in depth when they have to work from home. I find that the synchronous editing function of document collaboration is both time-saving and clear. Many approvals are moved online, and it is clear where the process has gone, which can encourage everyone to concentrate more and improve efficiency.
But there are also several challenges. First, you need to consider three meals a day. For example, at 11: 30, the company must be in a state of concentrated work, but when working at home, it is necessary to consider preparing lunch, and it is easy to blur the line between work and cooking. Once I cooked soup, and I figured it would take three hours. When I cooked the soup, I went to a conference call. When it was on, the soup pot sounded a warning sound. Working at home, it still needs some challenges to switch the brain between the cook mode and the white-collar mode, so please be kind to the cooks who work and cook at home.
Second, there are many temptations. For example, I’ve been chasing the Taiwanese drama "I want to see you" recently, and when I’m working at home, I wonder if I should watch the two episodes updated last night. Fortunately, the workload during working at home is not very saturated, which can improve work efficiency and save yourself some time to catch up with plays, read books and have some entertainment.
The company is in a dilemma because of the danger of collective office and the trouble of telecommuting.
Feng Chen is a 27-year-old engineer in a chip research and development company.
For us programmers, it is actually very inconvenient to work from home, but in a special period, for safety reasons, the company decided to let us work from home on February 3, but neither the company nor I have ever encountered such a situation before, so I was in a hurry at first, and the efficiency was very low, which might only reach 30%-50% of the collective office.
I especially remember clearly that on the 3rd, our whole department basically didn’t do any substantive work, and the most troublesome thing was to configure the environment. Because we had to work remotely, we needed to connect to the company’s computers. We originally planned to use VPN, but later some colleagues couldn’t connect, so we needed to install a remote desktop software on their computers for operation and maintenance to remotely control the company’s computers. As a result, our company’s operation and maintenance was alone, and the configuration was very slow.
While waiting for the operation and maintenance, the leaders set up several groups to simply assign tasks. If there is any problem, they need to give feedback in the groups. Finally, I waited for the remote connection to the office computer. I copied some codes locally and configured the computer environment, and the first day ended hastily.

Inefficiency is certain. On the one hand, programmers need strong teamwork, online communication efficiency is not as good as collective office, and large companies may be better. Our division of labor is sometimes not clear, and we need to discuss it together when we encounter problems, such as having a look at it together when we encounter bugs, and going to colleagues’ computers when we encounter data operation errors. These are not easy to do; On the other hand, I do get all kinds of interference at home. My mother always chats with me, does all kinds of chores, and is not in the mood to work.
There are two worst things. On Tuesday, I asked an intern on WeChat, which was very important. As a result, he didn’t reply to me until a day later, which was very delayed. If I worked in a group, I would go directly to his workstation to urge him. What’s worse, we are making chips, and there is a process that requires actual hardware operation, otherwise we can’t continue. This chip is in the company, and I have always been responsible for the layout of the program to the chip. In a hurry, I returned to Beijing from home early, and I was delayed on the road all day on Wednesday (February 5). I finally returned to Beijing because of traffic control, black cars and other bad worries. I went to the company on Thursday to get the chip and was advised to go home to work.
So this week is spent in a hurry, the remote environment is not good, and the jam is serious. In order to ensure work efficiency, our weekly newspaper has been changed into a daily newspaper, but the work done at home is simple and the workload is less, so the daily newspapers are written in half and compiled in half. I also happen to be in charge of the daily summary of a project, and it is necessary to integrate several people’s daily newspapers, which is simply an addition.
Fortunately, we will go to the company to work collectively this week, but we will encounter more risks and even have no place to eat. This is also very troublesome. I just hope that the epidemic will pass quickly, otherwise it will be really torture.
The workload is very heavy, and the two children can only concentrate on their work after taking a nap.
Xiaoxue is 35 years old and an employee of a company.
On February 3rd, our company announced that it would not go to the company for the whole of February, and all of them would go online, and it might also be working from home in the next few months. I’m quite comfortable, because I’ve always had the habit of working online. Working from home is actually a state, and everyone is constantly debugging.
In fact, my workload is still quite heavy. On the one hand, I have to do sales business, manage teams, recruit people, and do online activities. But I think the most important thing is time planning.
There are two boys in my family who are brought up by myself. Erbao is just over one year old. She has to nurse, put to sleep, take a bath and cook three meals a day, which consumes a lot of time.
Home office meetings have been disturbed by all kinds of noises from children, and cooking time is too late because of a long meeting. I just explained to my child that it’s working time now. We call it online office, not vacation at home. Everyone has to work, so he is very good at reading next to him now.
Every day from 3 pm to 5 pm, after the children fall asleep, it is a concentrated office time for me. Make a cup of coffee and have a conference call. At this time, our meeting is actually very efficient, and it basically ends in 20 minutes. We named the work group "overtaking in corners", and we wanted to make our team bigger and recruit excellent people quickly in this process.

Online office is actually more efficient, but offline office is easier to go deep. For communication and collaboration, it is definitely better offline. Of course, in this process, new recruits may not be able to feel the corporate culture well. Many people choose the company for team culture and values, and working online is difficult to understand, which is one of the disadvantages.
Personally, I really want to go out, but I don’t particularly want to punch in at the company. The work is like this. If something is forced to be done and there is not so much autonomy, I will be very unhappy. But if there is no KPI, everything is what I want to do, and I can see the progress of my grades, so I will be very motivated.
Collapse with baby, and finally have to isolate themselves.
Xiaoxi 30-year-old employee of a knowledge service MCN organization.
I have been working from home for 7 days. At first, I heard that I was going to work from home. I was super excited. This is my dream way of working. I work in Wangjing but live in Tongzhou. It always takes me three or four hours to go to work every day. I have a child at home, and I want to have more time to accompany him to grow up, so I asked my boss as early as years ago whether I could cooperate in part-time after the year. But the company does not provide insurance and provident fund for part-time employees, and I am very entangled. After the epidemic came, I thought it was all right. I could work at home with peace of mind, and someone would pay the social security provident fund, without delay.
Our company belongs to the knowledge service MCN organization, and working from home hardly affects our business, but many colleagues are now trapped in their hometown. When we have a group conference call, we can always hear all kinds of strange voices inside. One morning, when we held a morning meeting, I heard a chicken crow.
The company doesn’t stipulate that we need to punch in, and the working hours are free, but the working hours have become longer, and we will be called to communicate on the rest day. At the meeting, the boss usually has something to say and will use the company’s economic crisis to stimulate everyone’s enthusiasm for work. Once the boss said in a telephone conference that the company’s cash flow can last for two months, which can ensure that everyone’s wages are paid normally, but after two months, the company’s development depends on everyone’s performance during this period.

I have a 3-year-old baby at home who is always clamoring for my company. I have to say "Mom, you play with me" at least twenty times a day. I can only say to him, wait a minute, you play first. At first, he agreed that I would sit on the ground with him, he would play by himself, and I would use the computer to work. Later, he wouldn’t even let me touch the computer. Although my family understands my work very well and is trying to help me with my children, men have limited patience with their children, and soon they will be at odds, and I have to come out to mediate.
In the end, I can only isolate myself, divide an office boundary for myself, communicate with my family in advance what time I want to work, and don’t disturb my working hours. But when I work alone, I can’t resist the temptation of snacks, and I always want to go to bed. I think working late at night is the most efficient, so I always work at night recently, and black and white are reversed.
Now, I miss working days very much.
Dress up and work at home every day, and urge employees by video conference.
Liu Xin 32-year-old CEO of a startup company
I started working from home in the seventh grade, and I started to let all the employees of the company work from home in the tenth grade. At first, I was lazy, wearing pajamas and slippers every day. Later, I found that there was no working state, so I set aside a relatively independent office space at home as my temporary office and completely entered the working mode.
I think life needs a sense of ceremony, and work needs formality, which has nothing to do with where you work. My daily on-the-job time is from 9: 30 am to 6: 30 pm, which requires all employees of the company to punch in, and I wear formal clothes every day and make up in the morning, just like I usually go to work in the company, so that I can feel that I am really at work, not dawdling. Believe me, when you spend half an hour at home every day putting on makeup, formal clothes and high heels, you can’t even be lazy.
My family doesn’t understand why I have to wear formal clothes at home. I can feel that my mother is looking at me with different eyes every day. Moreover, she always thinks that I am going out to meet people, and she will come to "inspect" from time to time. She pricks up her ears whenever there is any movement in my room, lest I sneak out when she is not looking.
Most of my work is done on the computer, and the arrangement of work is remote command, and I seldom make phone calls. Parents don’t understand. They think you are just watching the computer. One day, my mother came to me and asked me, "You dress like a waiter and sit at home watching the computer every day. What are you doing?"
Figure/Pexels
We hold a video conference for all employees of the company at 10 o’clock every morning. I demand that it must be video, not voice, because then employees will pay attention to it. Otherwise, it’s very likely that everyone is lying in bed and having a meeting with you, so where is the working atmosphere? And only by video conference can I see everyone’s status and better grasp everyone’s work progress.
One of the biggest problems of telecommuting is that communication is difficult to convey emotions. I prefer to communicate face to face. There will be a very embarrassing scene in remote communication: my side is about to explode with anger, but the other party may not know that I am so anxious to drop my mobile phone, but I can only drop my mobile phone when I fall and fall. If it was face-to-face communication, these problems would not exist.
During this period of working at home, I feel that it is because I can work and dress formally every day that I feel that I have not become a eating machine. Otherwise, you really just eat at home every day. I think a mature working woman needs a self-disciplined professional spirit.
Collective office is a ceremony of a working day, which gives life a sense of regularity.
Liang You, 26, founder of Tiaohai Pub.
From the beginning of Chinese New Year’s Day, my girlfriend and I lived such a life: getting up at 10 or 11 in the morning, preparing to cook lunch, eating at 2 or 3 in the afternoon, playing mobile phones, chatting, preparing to cook dinner, eating dinner at 7 or 8 in the evening, watching a movie or playing games, and sleeping. The same life, we have lived to the 16th day.
I was very depressed when I first learned the news of the epidemic, because I was the owner of the main line and I was particularly depressed about not being able to run it.
For me, the biggest challenge of working from home is my state. Because everyone is forced to work at home this time, and the epidemic is so serious, it is easy to be emotionally overloaded, and it is very uncomfortable for me not to go out. The adjustment of mental health is the biggest challenge I am facing at present. Although I also have two dogs, I feel good about the interference of cats and dogs. Many companies also have cats after all.
I think the difference between collective office and home office is mainly in the sense of ceremony. The efficiency of collective office is not necessarily higher than that of home office, but collective office is a ceremony of working day. Getting up and going to the company on time will give you a sense of regularity in your life, similar to Morita therapy. Working in groups is also conducive to cultivating team feelings, and working at home has a feeling of losing contact with the team.
I think working from home is even more efficient than working in groups in specific and planned affairs, but there are some soft things you can’t see, especially working in groups can collide with many new ideas and ideas that are not planned.

The biggest feeling now is that I feel uncomfortable and insecure. I used to feel that all kinds of accidents and disasters were particularly far away from me, but this time it seems to be around me. Besides, I am a very sociable person, and it is really hard for me to stay at home every day. Sometimes in the morning, I take the opportunity to buy food and go out for a walk in the street. There are not many people, and every breath of air makes people feel sweet.
At present, we can’t open the pub offline, so we plan to open it online. There are four shopkeepers in the pub. From the first day of junior high school, each shopkeeper broadcasts live for one hour every week, which makes me feel connected with the outside world again. I am very happy. I think Modern Sky also made a bedroom music festival. Although these can’t be realized, they are all very interesting.
But I think, don’t always think about the difference between working from home and working in groups, just focus on what you want to do, and don’t put too much emphasis on time arrangement, otherwise you will get stuck in that competition and can’t get out.
Work is also a kind of socialization, and it is difficult to find a sense of belonging in telecommuting.
Gong Siying, Chief Strategy Officer of Mor.AI
This period of time, not only work, in fact, the whole life is at home, which is a little different from the usual home office. Last week, we made a special survey of all employees and asked them about working at home. Everyone’s reply was quite interesting.
70%-80% of our company are R&D personnel. In the questionnaire, the average score of telecommuting reached 8.09 (out of a total score of 10), and 5% of employees thought that they even exceeded their goals.
For telecommuting tools, WeChat is mostly used for communication, and nails are used for meetings and punching. Tencent documents and our own internally developed wiki are used for document sharing and information.
To sum up, everyone thinks that the advantages of working from home are that the feedback from daily work meetings is timely, the tasks are clear, and the implementation level is high, which reduces the non-urgent interruption of work and maintains the continuous stability of work. There has also been more internal communication and closer contact with cooperative departments.
Of course, there are also some challenges. For example, we have to test the equipment, but the test equipment can’t be shared, so we can’t reproduce many problems. Online communication is sometimes not as good as face-to-face communication, and the efficiency is reduced, especially for three or five new employees who have just joined the company recently. It is a bit difficult to adapt, and some financial software must be operated by the company’s computer.

There is one thing we have to admit. Few companies in China telecommute. The boss in China prefers to "supervise" what employees are doing, so he has no idea. When you start telecommuting at once, the boss will actually be more anxious than the employees. There are also some remote collaboration tools that are not ready. On the first day of construction, both nails and corporate WeChat collapsed, which is a good proof.
If the tools are not ready, the telecommuting effect will be greatly reduced. For example, nailing, everyone’s version is different, and the function will be different; For another example, offline everyone likes you to write a few strokes when talking about whiteboard, but online this kind of cloud projection and screen collaboration software is rarely used.
Recently, everyone’s life must be relatively monotonous. In fact, mentality is very important at this time. A friend of mine told me that now I feel that my job is 007 and I have to work all the time. I used to be able to do other things, but now I’m locked at home. There’s no reason to refuse the job request. But life still needs to go on. You need to turn life into more than just work, otherwise people will go crazy by the third week or even a month.
In the culture of China, work is also a social activity, and telecommuting makes it difficult for employees to feel a sense of belonging. Many people’s friends come from work partners and colleagues, and telecommuting will reduce this part of communication. So back to the essence, the biggest challenge of telecommuting is not efficiency, but culture.
After sitting at home for half a month, I can finally go to work today.
Shen Xiaoqian, 36, Shanghai Jiangsu Chamber of Commerce
We are a chamber of commerce. Recently, all enterprises are donating money and materials. Every day, information comes from all directions. I basically read mobile phone messages 24 hours a day.
Sadly, I have to finish all these intense work, and I don’t know when my little daughter will jump on my back in the next second. She had a new trick yesterday, spilling yogurt directly on my keyboard. If I usually go to work, I only show up at night and weekends a week. Now suddenly I am at home every day, and she wants to play with me every day.
I still have an eldest daughter at home, and I have to keep an eye on her. Will I go to see the iPad for a while, chat again for a while, and have to keep an eye on her to preview the courses for the second half of the semester? Doing radio exercises, skipping rope, dancing, martial arts and practicing the piano every day, each project needs to be punched online, and the time is full.

Every time, my family calls for dinner, so I can have complete time to do my own thing by sending these two little ones down for dinner.
In addition, there are indeed too many conference calls when working from home. What was originally called face to face has to be said by phone, but it may not be clear. Some things may have just been finished with one person and have to be synchronized with another. In particular, when it comes to donations, everyone is in a hurry. Originally, everyone was resting during the New Year, and they kept calling to urge the progress. I am also a little embarrassed.
I’m going to return to work today (February 10th), and I actually support it. After sitting at home for half a month, there is no New Year’s atmosphere in shopping malls and streets. It’s really depressed. I think it’s better to go back to work. Many chains in the market are interlocking, and enterprises can’t produce until workers are on duty. You have to go out to see how the market is, and you can’t stay at home all the time.
