Investigation on Online Class Platform for Minors: Still Pushing Bad Information

  ● Some website platforms ignore social responsibilities, repeatedly use online classes to promote online games and make friends, and even spread pornographic, violent and fraudulent information, which endangers the physical and mental health of students, especially minors.

  ● In order to effectively solve the outstanding problems of online class platforms involving minors, safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of minors, and promote the standardized and orderly development of online class platforms, the Central Network Information Office and the Ministry of Education launched a two-month special rectification of online class platforms involving minors.

  ● Relevant regulatory authorities should clarify their functions and responsibilities on the basis of full investigation, improve laws and regulations, achieve precise and joint law enforcement, and strengthen supervision over online platforms and advertisers.

  Recently, in order to effectively solve the outstanding problems of online class platforms involving minors, safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of minors, and promote the standardized and orderly development of online class platforms, the Central Network Information Office and the Ministry of Education launched a two-month special rectification of online class platforms involving minors.

  This special rectification will focus on the outstanding problems that netizens have strongly reflected. For example, to strengthen the ecological management around the online course page, there must be no content that harms the physical and mental health of minors; Do not use pop-ups to induce clicking on pages that are not suitable for minors; Do not push advertising information unrelated to learning; Do not use online courses of a public nature to seek commercial interests.

  During the special rectification period, what is the current situation of various website platforms that offer online courses for minors? Recently, the "Rule of Law Daily" reporter launched an investigation on this.

  The adolescent model exists in name only

  The platform still pushes bad information.

  At present, online class platforms commonly used by minors can be divided into two categories, one is an online cloud classroom teaching platform specially developed by the government or schools, and the other is an online class platform developed by social networking sites.

  On August 19th, when the reporter of Rule of Law Daily logged into an online course platform, he saw that the homepage of the platform was divided into three parts, with dynamic public service advertisements at the top, such as "We are in action to fight the epidemic", which introduced that the platform provided rich courses for students during the epidemic prevention and control period, so that students could study independently at home. In the middle is the schedule of live courses from grade 1 to grade 12. Click it to enter the online course content of any grade. At the bottom are special teacher classes, famous master classes and so on.

  In the process of browsing, I didn’t see the pop-up window, nor did I see the advertising information unrelated to learning. Subsequently, the reporter of "Rule of Law Daily" logged into another video website, and no content unsuitable for teenagers was found in the learning module. On another video website, some modules in the learning channel have been closed.

  The reporter of "Rule of Law Daily" downloaded the software of an education and training institution. After opening it, a notice of special rectification of minors’ summer network environment appeared. Click the link at the bottom to view the rectification results. In the publicity of the rectification results released by it, it is said that the bad content in the animation, live broadcast, short video, forum and online learning sections on the platform has been investigated and cleaned up, and 154 illegal avatars and 362 illegal nicknames have been handled. In addition, nearly 200,000 pieces of sensitive information were filtered out in live chat only.

  After the rectification of this online class platform, a telephone number and email address for minors to report bad content were also set up. The reporter of "Rule of Law Daily" consulted relevant issues as parents of students. A customer service teacher said that the problematic courses have been handled by relevant personnel. If other problems are found, they can also be contacted for registration.

  In the process of logging in to some platforms with online courses, the reporter of Rule of Law Daily found that some online courses platforms launched the children/teenagers mode after rectification. In the teenagers mode, all content presented to users was filtered through the platform, and routine operations such as recharging, rewarding and commenting could not be carried out.

  Some softwares directly add children’s/teenagers’ accounts in the teenager mode through a separate password setting, and the content browsed by using this account is limited. Some online class platforms also have a "time lock" function in the youth mode. The default time for using the software is 40 minutes. If the daily use time exceeds the default time, you need to enter a password with independent functions before using it.

  The reporter of "Rule of Law Daily" downloaded some popular software with adolescent mode to try. After setting the password for the teen mode, these platforms will require users to fill in the child’s date of birth, and individual platforms will also require users to fill in the gender. After setting up the account, the platform will provide some content categories for users to choose, and only after selecting them can the software be officially used in the youth mode. There are also some platforms that do not need to set a youth account, and directly set a password to control the opening of the youth mode.

  However, the reporter of "Rule of Law Daily" found that it is only necessary to set a separate password to turn on and off the youth mode. In the case of mastering the password, the holder of the mobile phone can still turn on or off the youth mode at will. Some parents believe that this makes the youth model useless in the eyes of teenagers who have mastered the password.

  According to parents’ introduction, the reporter of "Rule of Law Daily" downloaded and installed a popular social software. In the setting options of one software, the teenager mode of the software was opened by setting an independent password. Continuing to operate, the reporter of the Rule of Law Daily found that although it is impossible to carry out the same routine operations as ordinary accounts, the accounts set by this software in the youth mode can still be used to vote for various lists, and also receive news or information pushed by the platform that has nothing to do with learning.

  Xiao Jia (pseudonym), a middle school student in Dongcheng District, Beijing, told the reporter of Rule of Law Daily: "The youth model can indeed filter out some bad information, but for me, it is just for ‘ Love beans ’ (Idol) is just for voting. "

  Download the software, register the account, set up and start the youth mode for yourself, which is Xiao Jia and the normal online life of some minors in idolize. The reporter of "Rule of Law Daily" registered a youth account on this online class platform according to Xiao Jia’s guidance. At the end of the interview, he received a news push from the platform, "××××× was exposed to derailment, and private photos flowed out".

  Pop-up advertisement in online course browser

  Language violence in interactive comment area

  Pop-up advertisements are often seen when using a browser to surf the Internet, which is the trouble that Li Xuan (a pseudonym), a middle school student in Xicheng District, Beijing, has encountered.

  During Li Xuan’s online class, pop-up advertisements will pop up from the left side of the webpage from time to time, and the contents of the advertisements are quite "rich". Not only are there game advertisements, but Li Xuan even saw hair growth advertisements.

  Li Xuan described the general scene of the game advertisement to the reporter of the Rule of Law Daily: "Either there are dragons and monsters on the road in Shi Zhuan, or there are wild boars on the wasteland, and then a man took a knife and cut it several times ‘ Explosion ’ Good game equipment. "

  Li Xuan feels a little annoyed with this kind of grandiose advertisement that often pops up, but she can’t completely prohibit the advertisement from popping up through setting. To this end, he specially changed another browser without advertisements. However, the new browser sometimes gets stuck. In the end, Li Xuan had to switch back to the original browser.

  The reporter of Rule of Law Daily downloaded this browser software and found that after selecting the page of interest, the browser will push news and information according to the user’s interest, but even if the option of "entertainment" is avoided, the system will still push some sensational "news".

  Zhao Yu (pseudonym), a student from a middle school in Xicheng District, Beijing, used an online class platform to attend a training class. According to her introduction: "This online class platform can turn on the camera and microphone, and the system will remind you when there is a class. When there is a class, the teacher can ask questions. If the students answer correctly, the teacher can reward the students and send a small trophy or something. We can read documents, PPT and pictures on it, and it is also convenient for teachers to write on the blackboard, which can be saved in the form of pictures. After the whole course, you can also watch the playback. "

  In addition, Zhao Yu told the reporter of "Rule of Law Daily" that there are also some problems in the interactive message of the school online class platform. "Some students will talk nonsense in the comment area." Zhao Yu said, "For example, if a teacher asks a classmate to answer a question, and that classmate answers wrong, someone will make fun of the wrong answer in the comment area."

  This made Zhao Yu very flustered when answering questions, because she was worried about the cynicism of her classmates, and sometimes even if she knew the answer, she dared not answer it easily. "Why doesn’t the online class platform have the function of silence?" In this regard, Zhao Yu is very confused.

  Gao Tiantian (pseudonym), a primary school student in Tongzhou District, Beijing, saw the teacher advertising in the live class.

  After starting school this fall, Gao Tiantian will be in the sixth grade. During this summer vacation, her parents signed up Gao Tiantian for an online course in an educational institution. At about 9 o’clock, Gao Tiantian’s math class began. The course lasted about two hours, with three breaks in the middle. During the break, in order to enhance children’s interest, the teacher will hold his pet cat in front of the live camera to interact with the students, and sometimes recommend other courses for sale to the students.

  "Teachers often recommend some classes." Gao Tiantian is no stranger to this. Ms. Wang, her mother, was disgusted with this. She told the reporter of the Rule of Law Daily: "The teacher’s job is to attend classes. I feel very annoyed to recommend other courses for sale in class. What is the difference between this and product placement?"

After getting on the train, you should be fully familiar with the train fire control facilities and passages, know your position, and know the contact information of the train passengers, so as to "have a door for help" when an accident occurs. Consciously improve the awareness of fire control, and if you find that there are potential safety hazards in your carriage, you should actively report them to the train staff.

Keep a clear head in case of fire.

If there is a fire in the car, don’t panic, let alone block the passage of the car, and actively cooperate with the train staff to carry out fire fighting and operation of the wounded.

3. Abide by the rules of riding

Use all kinds of equipment on the train according to regulations. Smoking (including restrooms) is strictly prohibited when taking the high-speed train. If smoking will cause the train to slow down and stop temporarily, the violator will be punished by public security detention, fines and other measures.

4. Take protective measures against accidents.

In case of sudden braking, shaking, bumping or tilting to one side of the train, take protective measures, don’t run around, put your head in your hands, bend your elbow to protect your head, and be careful of the luggage that may fall; Passengers facing the front of the car, lie down on the back of the chair in front; Passengers with their backs to the front of the car bend their knees and lift their legs to protect their chest and abdomen; Passengers next to the table crouch under the table to prevent collision; Passengers in the toilet are sitting on the ground with their backs to the front of the car, leaning against the wall and kneeling.

5. Use a safety hammer to escape

A safety hammer is equipped next to the emergency escape window (glass window with red circle) in the carriage. In case of an accident, you can use the safety hammer to tap the red circle of the emergency escape window to indicate the position, and quickly evacuate after smashing the window.

  Breaking the "SCI supremacy" of papers is an important measure to change the pursuit of quantity into the pursuit of quality, which will have a far-reaching impact on breaking the utilitarianism and quick success in scientific and technological innovation, removing the academic bubble and shaping the excellent atmosphere of practical innovation. Recently, the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Science and Technology issued "Several Opinions on Standardizing the Use of Relevant Indicators of SCI Papers in Colleges and Universities and Establishing Correct Evaluation Orientation" (hereinafter referred to as "Several Opinions"), and put forward ten specific opinions on breaking the "SCI supremacy" of papers and optimizing academic ecology.

  What is the significance of cracking "SCI worship" to the establishment of scientific and technological evaluation mechanism in the new period? How to establish a scientific evaluation system after breaking the "SCI supremacy"? What explorations have universities made in this regard? The reporter recently conducted an interview.

  Excessive pursuit of SCI papers distorts the pursuit of scientific and technological innovation value

  Since SCI (scientific citation index) was introduced to China in the late 1980s, it has provided a source of information and data for researchers in Chinese universities and scientific research institutions to understand international academic trends, and also opened a channel for disseminating academic achievements to the outside world, which has greatly promoted the rapid development of scientific research in China, especially basic research.

  However, in recent years, the number of SCI papers, cited times, highly cited papers, impact factors and derived ESI rankings have become the core indicators of academic evaluation, as well as professional title evaluation, performance appraisal, talent evaluation, subject evaluation, resource allocation, school ranking and other aspects, which has led to excessive pursuit of SCI papers and related indicators in scientific research work in colleges and universities, even aiming at publishing the number of SCI papers, high-impact papers and highly cited papers. There are some problems in scientific and technological innovation, such as distorted pursuit of value, exaggerated and impetuous style of study and quick success, which are not conducive to the high-quality and connotative development of higher education, can not meet the requirements of educational reform and development in the new era, and are not conducive to the construction of a strong country in education and science and technology.

  According to Lu Jian, academician of Chinese Academy of Sciences and president of Nanjing University, since the reform and opening up, China’s scientific and technological development has roughly gone through three stages. First, the stage of comprehensive transformation: completely changing the problem of not attaching importance to science and technology during the Cultural Revolution, promoting the arrival of scientific spring and bringing scientific and technological innovation to the international stage. Second, the stage of large-scale development: the framework of scientific and technological innovation system has been fully established, major breakthroughs have been made in several fields, and many scientific and technological indicators are among the best in the world. The third is the stage of high-quality improvement: building an innovative country and blowing the horn of marching into the world’s technological power. At present, the root cause of the problem is that the economic and social development in the new era has required science and technology to enter the stage of high-quality upgrading, while the current evaluation system is still in the stage of large-scale development, which cannot keep up with the new requirements of the new era and new stage of science and technology development.

  "In the early stage of scientific research development in domestic universities, encouraging the publication of SCI papers has a positive effect on improving the level of scientific research and should be affirmed. However, as China’s scientific and technological innovation enters the stage of promoting high-quality development with high-quality innovation, if SCI papers are still used as the only indicator to evaluate the level of scientific research, it is a manifestation of lack of self-confidence, which will lead to the loss or even alienation of goals. " Jin Li, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and executive vice president of Fudan University, believes.

  According to Yi Fan, president of the Institute of Science and Technology of Shandong University, in recent years, the state has issued a series of policies and measures, such as the State Council’s Opinions on Strengthening Basic Scientific Research in an All-round Way, Opinions on Deepening the Reform of Project Evaluation, Talent Evaluation and Institution Evaluation, and breaking the "Five Merits" and "SCI supremacy". The core is to enhance the original ability of scientific and technological innovation and enhance the quality and contribution of scientific and technological development.

  "The contribution of SCI papers exists, which is China’s business card in the world and the expression of China’s academic level and international influence, but this kind of competition should be of high quality. At present, improving quality on the basis of ensuring a certain amount can create a better scientific research atmosphere. " Yi Fan said that breaking the "SCI supremacy" is not to deny the publication of SCI papers, let alone to oppose them, but to encourage the publication of high-quality and constructive papers, not to follow the trend and even lead to academic misconduct.

  According to Chen Qiang, a professor in school of economics and management, Tongji University, SCI is just a tool for document retrieval, with its specific screening angle, logic and standards, but it has been overused and distorted.

  Chen Qiang analysis, first of all, financial investment in science and technology requires performance audit and needs the support of performance indicators. Scientific research organizations in colleges and universities have a strong administrative color, so it is necessary to promote related work. As a result, in some colleges and universities, SCI papers have become explicit indicators of scientific research level and discipline construction performance, and even turned into "baton" of scientific research activities. Secondly, after the reform and opening up, in the international academic competition in most fields, Chinese universities are mainly in a state of "following". When the academic level and governance maturity are not too high, there are also practical considerations in cost control and efficiency improvement when choosing indicators such as SCI papers. After all, at a specific stage of development, taking SCI papers as academic evaluation indicators is simple, intuitive and easy to understand and implement.

  Establish and improve the evaluation system according to the "category"

  In terms of how to break the "SCI supremacy" of papers, "Several Opinions" put forward a number of specific measures, such as establishing and improving the classified evaluation system, improving academic peer evaluation, vigorously reducing project evaluation, talent evaluation and institutional evaluation, and reversing the utilitarian tendency of assessment and reward.

  Yi Fan believes that the core of Several Opinions is to adhere to the problem orientation and oppose "only papers". It is not to deny the value of papers and oppose the publication of papers. It is necessary to encourage the publication of high-quality papers, return them to the academic essence, and avoid the utilitarianism of papers. Second, adhere to classified management, strengthen peer review, pay attention to the quality of results, highlight the effectiveness of evaluation, and continuously improve scientific and technological evaluation activities. Third, adhere to the combination of breaking and establishing, not only dare to "break" and resolutely break the bad direction of "only papers" in the evaluation of scientific and technological activities, but also be good at "establishing" and establishing new regulations.

  Jin Li also believes that the key to the current problem of "SCI supremacy" lies in the fact that the number of papers is linked to the allocation of resources. Therefore, the core of standardizing the use of related indicators of SCI papers in colleges and universities and breaking away from "only papers" and "SCI first" in scientific research evaluation is to get rid of utilitarianism. The key to breaking "SCI supremacy" is not only "breaking", but also how to "stand". Exploring the establishment of an academic evaluation index system that can reasonably measure the contribution value is the embodiment of improving the ability and level of academic governance.

  "It is impossible to measure the diversity of scientific research and academic value by using a single index. Classified evaluation, peer evaluation and representative work system are three evaluation principles that reflect the combination of quantitative and qualitative, which is conducive to the construction of ‘ SCI first ’ After the evaluation system. " Jin Li said that the key point is to correctly use the evaluation mechanism of SCI papers, instead of simply using the number of SCI papers, the number of highly cited papers, the level of impact factors and other indicators to evaluate departments, disciplines and teachers, thus forming the orientation of blindly pursuing popularity, highly cited papers and impact factors. According to different disciplines and fields, we should classify scientific research evaluation, and combine the representative work system to distinguish the evaluation criteria of papers in different fields such as basic research, applied research and technology development. At the same time, we should emphasize solving major problems of basic research, major national needs and major industrial applications, and apply them in long-term evaluation such as title promotion and short-term evaluation such as performance accounting according to the principles of accessibility and differentiation. The existing expert peer evaluation should also be improved and refined according to the principle of traceability and accountability.

  In Chen Qiang’s view, it is necessary to establish and improve a classified evaluation system based on "category": the laws of basic research, applied research and technological innovation are different, and the research methods and results are different. Under normal circumstances, the basic research cycle is long, with "slow research", "deep research" and "cold research" as the mainstay, and the output is relatively uncertain. Applied research aims to achieve a technological breakthrough in a specific field, or to solve practical problems in production and management practice. It has a clear result orientation and needs to race against time. Technological innovation is even different. It needs one eye to look at the supply side and one eye to look at the demand side, and its performance is more relevant to the market.

  "Evaluation work must respect the laws and characteristics of different scientific research fields, broaden the observation dimension, and pay attention to invention patents, engineering schemes, industry standards, specifications, monographs, teaching materials, reference books, proposals, special reports, policy texts, media articles, creative designs and other forms of achievements in addition to high-level papers." Chen Qiang said.

  "Thesis is endowed with the function of scientific and technological evaluation because it is the expression carrier of professional knowledge and achievements. Similarly, academic monographs, peer-reviewed scientific and technological reports, and research results that apply or promote technological progress all have the same function as papers as evaluation criteria. The significance of objecting to paper is to find suitable evaluation methods for scientific and technological innovations of different natures. At the same time, scientific and technological reports, academic monographs and other forms of expression can complement the time-sensitive papers in the systematic nature of the results. " Du Ozawa, dean of the Institute of Science and Technology of North China Electric Power University, said.

  In terms of peer evaluation, Du Ozawa believes that the professionalism of modern science is getting stronger and stronger, and the division of professional direction is becoming more and more obvious. For the vast majority of researchers, their work and achievements are likely to be meaningful only to their professional fields. Therefore, peer review is the premise and foundation of scientific and objective evaluation mechanism.

  "To implement peer review, we should vigorously create a healthy and progressive scientific culture, put an end to the erosion of the unhealthy atmosphere of human society and relationship society in the scientific community, organically combine the popular double-blind review with public review, and establish a personal credit system for researchers." Du Ozawa said.

  In addition, Du Ozawa suggested that the long-term representative work system should be implemented in scientific and technological evaluation. Scientific and technological innovation activities have their inherent periodicity and regularity, and the output of high-level achievements is often directly proportional to the investment of researchers in time and concentration. The output of the results is a spiral accumulation process. What ultimately represents a researcher’s level should be his long-term masterpiece. In most cases, the research results in recent years required by the evaluation of professional titles and the selection of talent titles only reflect the active degree of scientific and technological innovation of researchers, and the representative works, including scientific and technological reports, academic monographs and academic papers, can better reflect the height that researchers can reach.

  Scientific and technological evaluation should return to the origin of scientific research and technological innovation.

  The General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out at the 2018 National Education Conference and the Academician Conference of the two academies that "it is necessary to deepen the reform of the education system, improve the implementation mechanism of Lide Shuren, reverse the unscientific orientation of education evaluation, and resolutely overcome the stubborn disease of only grades, only studies, only diplomas, only papers and only hats, and fundamentally solve the baton problem of education evaluation". It is necessary to reform the evaluation system of science and technology, establish a classified evaluation system oriented to the quality, contribution and performance of scientific and technological innovation, and correctly evaluate the scientific value, technical value, economic value, social value and cultural value of scientific and technological innovation achievements. This points out the direction for the reform of evaluation system, and its profound connotation is to emphasize that scientific and technological evaluation should return to the origin of scientific research and technological innovation and liberate scientific and technological personnel from unreasonable evaluation system.

  In Lu Jian’s view, from a macro perspective, the problems that need to be paid attention to in China’s current scientific and technological development can be summarized as follows: a pair of contradictions — — The number of papers, citations and patents in China ranks among the best in the world, but its innovation ability is around 20. Two weaknesses — — Key core technologies are controlled by people, and few Nobel Prize winners; Two deviations — — Value deviation (pursuing hats and papers as goals) and behavior deviation (impetuous and utilitarian tendency). We should fully realize the overall situation, process and complexity of the evaluation system reform. This requires planning the problems of "breaking" and "establishing" from the overall perspective.

  Nanjing University uses the principle of "one definition", "four transformations", "three reductions" and "three lines superposition" to explore and practice a scientific evaluation system that is more suitable for the needs of the new era.

  Lu Jian introduced that "one clarity" means that under the background of "the world is in a great change in a hundred years", standing at the height of the community of human destiny, on the basis of inheriting tradition, we will try our best to explore the original issues such as "what is a university" and "who to train" and rethink the positioning, connotation, structure and function of a university. "Four transformations" is a new paradigm of university development characterized by "new system of talent training, new model of scientific research, new mechanism of team building, new promotion of teachers and students, etc." to lead "transformation of development mode, transformation of development mode, transformation of management mode and transformation of ways of doing things". The "Three Reductions" restore the essential connotation, important extension and measurement methods of related indicators, such as scores, further studies, diplomas, papers and hats, such as personnel training, scientific research and team building, so that various indicators can return to their auxiliary means of measurement in various scenes. The so-called "three-line superposition" means that the perspective of measurement mode is changed from emphasizing only the result to emphasizing the combination of the result and the process, and the evaluation elements are transformed into the three-line superposition of "excellent leading, transformation and improvement, and indicator performance", and then new elements of evaluation are put forward.Such as mode, mechanism, method, efficiency, performance, hierarchy, etc., and their scientific combination, as an alternative path to traditional evaluation methods.

  Focusing on the goal of improving academic governance, Nie Zuoren, academician of China Academy of Engineering and vice president of Beijing University of Technology, introduced that the academic committee of Beijing University of Technology has mainly carried out three practical explorations: First, it has established academic evaluation standards oriented to "quality and classification", and established an evaluation index system that pays attention to the quality level of landmark achievements, the contribution to the promotion of this post, the influence of solving the "stuck neck" problem in key national technical fields, and the promotion of scientific and technological progress, highlighting the characteristics of disciplines. The second is to improve the construction of operational mechanism, revise and promulgate seven rules and regulations on the work of academic committees at the two levels of schools and colleges, and enhance the status and role of academic communities in academic evaluation activities. Third, the Code of Academic Ethics and Conduct has been specially formulated, which clearly puts forward a standardized management framework for the academic behavior of teachers and students and promotes academic self-discipline.

  "The perfection of scientific and technological evaluation and academic evaluation system is the establishment of orientation and the remolding of values. It is an important part of improving the ability and level of social governance in China and will have a far-reaching impact on China’s scientific research and personnel training. Different universities are at different stages of development and have different needs. According to the spirit of the document, according to their own characteristics and development stages, combined with the actual development of disciplines, we should formulate the management methods and implementation plans for scientific and technological evaluation of our school. " Jin Li believes.

Have you ever wondered who invented bpmf when you are crazy about teaching your baby pinyin?

2018 marks the 60th anniversary of the National People’s Congress’s approval and promulgation of the Chinese Pinyin Scheme. In fact, it has been more than 400 years since Latin alphabet was used to phonetic Chinese characters.

Before the birth of hanyu pinyin, in order to promote the communication between the East and the West, Chinese character reformers have conducted in-depth research and formulated many influential Latin schemes for Chinese characters in order to popularize education and reduce illiteracy rate. These phonetic schemes also have a great influence on the phonetic schemes of modern Chinese (Putonghua).

Topic of this issue:Xu Chunwei is a private history columnist in The Paper and a columnist in Netease history.

Member of Literature and History Committee of zhenhai district CPPCC in Ningbo, member of Ningbo Local Records Society. The academic representative of the 8th and 9th International Symposium on Wu Dialect submitted a research paper on Ningbo Dialect with phonetic notation and Wittoma Pinyin, and was the first person to deduce the dialect phonology of Huaying Dictionary in Wu dialect circle.

When and who invented Chinese Pinyin?

Auspicious and elegant:Hello! When did Chinese Pinyin come into being? Who invented it?

Xu Chunwei:Chinese Pinyin in a broad sense dates back to the end of Ming Dynasty.

In 1605, Italian Matteo Ricci used Latin characters to annotate Chinese characters in his book, The Miracle of Western Characters.

In 1625, Jinnige, who was then Belgium, improved the pinyin scheme on his basis and wrote "Western Confucianism’s Eyes and Eyes". Their pinyin scheme is called "Li-Jin" scheme. However, this plan has basically no impact on future generations. The first semi-official scheme in China and the first standard transliteration of Chinese characters in the world is "Weituo Code-Zhai Lisi Style".

In 1867, the English sinologist Wiltoma’s Chinese textbook "Language Self-Collection" was born. The established symbol is Zhai Lisi’s first edition of Hua Ying Dictionary in 1892.

In the spring of 1906, a joint conference of imperial posts and telecommunications was held in Shanghai, and it was decided to take the spelling of Huaying Dictionary as the spelling basis of China place names standard. Just to meet the needs of telegraphy, it does not use any additional symbols (such as aspirated symbols, etc.). It is called "postal" pinyin, which is a variant of Wei pinyin.

In 1913, the Beiyang government held a pronunciation unification meeting, at which Ma Yuzao proposed to use the unique Chinese characters of his teacher Zhang Taiyan as a spelling tool. In 1918, the Ministry of Education revised and published it on the basis of Zhang Taiyan, which was the first official phonetic notation in China. The first Latin scheme designed by ourselves in China was the Romanization of Mandarin issued by Liu Fu, Qian Xuantong, li jinxi, Zhao Yuanren, Lin Yutang and Wang Yi in 1928 through the Ministry of Education.

In addition, in the late 1920s, the Chinese people began to form a movement of Latinized New Characters, with Qu Qiubai, Fang Shan, Ni Haishu and others as the main figures. Qu Qiubai’s Latinized New Characters of Northern Dialect laid the foundation for modern Chinese Pinyin, and they are highly consistent.

Chinese Pinyin in a narrow sense is the Pinyin in 1958.

It was decided by Chairman Mao and worked out collectively by hundreds of people headed by Wu Yuzhang. But there are also several key technical figures. From April 1956 to October 1957, 10 meetings were held to discuss and revise the Chinese Pinyin Scheme (Draft). There are three revised drafts: the first revised draft proposed by Wang Li, Lu Zhiwei and li jinxi, and several personal revised drafts proposed by Ding Xilin, Lin Handa, Wei Yun and li jinxi, among which Lin Handa’s draft is the second revised draft. It can be said that Chinese Pinyin is a cultural achievement formed in hundreds of years. Modern Chinese Pinyin is the collective achievement of the above-mentioned people.

Sanmao’s long skirt: Why are there symbols like Japanese in the dictionary, and do those characters still have practical significance now?

Xu Chunwei: This is the phonetic serial number invented by Zhang Taiyan, and he was inspired by Japanese pseudonyms. Phonetic symbols are also part of Chinese characters, which are homologous to pseudonyms and are essentially semi-syllabic characters.

In 1913, the Ministry of Education of Beiyang government held a "pronunciation unification meeting". Ma Yuzao, the son of Zhangmen, proposed to use his teacher’s unique Chinese characters as phonetic symbols. Due to the large number of children of Zhangmen, the proposal was passed. In 1918, the Ministry of Education officially announced that it was named "Zhuyin Letter". In 1930, Wu Zhihui proposed to change its name to "Zhuyin Symbol". In 1958, when determining the scheme of modern Chinese Pinyin, there was a debate in China about whether the national alphabet (phonetic symbols) is better or the Latin alphabet (Chinese Pinyin). The conclusion is that the latter is convenient for international communication. Now only a few reference books, such as dictionaries, can see phonetic symbols.

Superman of the florist:I remember when I was a child, I learned "Ah, guess what, alas, my husband should …" But I don’t know what it is. None of my classmates have heard it now. Is it because of my dialect (northerner), or is there a mistake in my memory?

Xu Chunwei:Hello, now read the sound generally. What you have learned is the name sound. The pronunciation of vowels is the local sound. The name sound refers to the address of Chinese phonetic alphabet. The alphabetical reading in "Chinese Pinyin Scheme" is to read with the name sound. Chinese phonetic alphabet is not only used for pinyin of syllables’ initials and finals, but also has the functions of sorting and searching. If the letters have no names, it is inconvenient to call them. There are 26 letters in the alphabet of Hanyu Pinyin Scheme, and each letter has a name sound. The determination of the sound value of the name sound stipulates that the name sound of a vowel letter is served by its local sound, and if a vowel letter has several local sounds, the main pronunciation is used as the name sound; The name sound of consonant letters is composed of vowels before or after the local sound (y w is a sound-proof letter, and there is no local sound, so the name sound is set separately). Specifically, whether to add before or after, what vowels to add, and how many vowels to add, we should follow international habits and consider the difference of names. According to the list of Chinese phonetic alphabets, the name sounds of the 26 Chinese phonetic alphabets in "Chinese phonetic scheme" are: a b ê c ê d ê e ê f g ê ha i ji; e kê êl êm nê o pê qiu ar ês tê u vê wa xi ya zê。

WLM:Shanxi and Shaanxi, how to distinguish with pinyin?

Xu Chunwei:Generally, it is solved by tone-marking, shǎnxī Shā nx: and Shaanxi Sh: nx:. However, there is generally no tone on local famous brands or in foreign language books. Therefore, shaanxi is now spelled Shaanxi when it is used as a place name. This treatment is not unreasonable, but an old pinyin scheme "Mandarin Roman characters" is used. Mandarin Roman characters express tones by adding or changing letters, and an rhyme is flat an, flat arn, rising aan and falling ann. Regarding the Romance of Mandarin, we can read the article "Romance of Mandarin, the Failed Attempt of the Elite to Rebuild Civilization" in "The Paper Private History".

Bouquet with Jun:What Pinyin schemes in previous Pinyin documents have been referenced in the formulation of Chinese Pinyin schemes?

Xu Chunwei:The tone of Chinese Pinyin comes from the phonetic symbols set by the pronunciation unification meeting. The initial consonant and the final vowel are partly derived from the Romance, the national language of Guoluo School in the south of the Yangtze River, and the Latin new characters of Qu Qiubai’s northern dialect. The Latinized New Characters of Northern Dialect are the closest to Chinese Pinyin.

Liang Liang:Hello, can you recommend books on this subject? I’m interested!

Xu Chunwei:The history of Chinese Pinyin since the 20th century can be seen in Hundred Years of Chinese by Japanese scholars Ishikawa Kan and Komatsu Lan, published by Shanghai Education Press. Personally, I think it is a more detailed history of Chinese Pinyin and Chinese Standard Phonetic. Before the 20th century, you can see the life stories of Matteo Ricci, Jinnige, Ding Weiliang, wade and Zhai Lisi. You can also look at the works of the parties involved in Chinese Pinyin, such as li jinxi and Zhao Yuanren of Guoluo School, Qu Qiubai, Fang Shan, Ye Laishi and others who Latin new characters.

A New Latin Writing Scheme for Northern Dialect

Are Pinyin still used in other Chinese-speaking areas?

Peng you:Is our Chinese Pinyin more mature than that used in other areas? For example, Taiwan Province’s Pinyin "Zheng" and "cheng" both use Cheng, but they read the same as Mandarin, but the Chinese Pinyin "zh" can be accurately distinguished.

Xu Chunwei:What you mentioned is not Taiwan Province Pinyin, but postal Pinyin, a variant of Weituo Code-Zhai Lisi Pinyin. Wei tuo code pinyin is divided into cheng and ch’eng. In the spring of 1906, a joint conference of imperial posts and telecommunications was held in Shanghai. The meeting decided to unify and standardize the Latin alphabet spelling of place names in China, and decided to basically take the Latin alphabet spelling in the first edition of Huaying Dictionary compiled by Zhai Lisi as the basis. Just to meet the needs of telegraphy, the meeting decided not to use any additional symbols (such as aspirated symbols, etc.), which is called postal pinyin and a variant of Wei pinyin. Zhao Yuanren complained that postal pinyin led to the separation of Changzhou and Zhangzhou, both of which were Changchow. Wei Tuoma Pinyin (postal Pinyin) was the international standard for Latin transliteration of Chinese characters in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China. The Roman characters, the national language of Nanjing government, have been unable to compete and almost disappeared. In addition to Wittig Pinyin, there are also Chinese romanization, universal Pinyin and Chinese Pinyin in mainland China in Taiwan Province. Except for the Universal Pinyin, which was made by Taiwan Province authorities, the rest were not designed by Taiwan Province.

Students are interested in learning pinyin.

Do dialects still have meaning?

qquser:Why not use the letter "V" in Chinese Pinyin?

Xu Chunwei:The phonetic symbol has a V, and the symbol is "ten thousand". Because the old national voice is an artificial language that gathers the north and the south, phonetic symbols attach great importance to "leap sound", that is, dialect sound.

The "Wu" in its initials means "ng", "Guang" means "gn", and "Wan" means "V" is taken from the southern dialect to spell "leap". It also has a voiced mark. However, after the dispute between Beijing and China, Beijing sound was adopted as the national sound. Since there are no initials in Beijing dialect, these symbols are useless and have been cancelled. Now there are V initials in the phonetic symbols in Xinhua Dictionary. Specifically, we can see the article "Romance in Mandarin, the failed attempt of elite to rebuild civilization" in The Paper’s private history.

But the Chinese flowering crabapple still:Hello, teacher! I would like to ask, what is the advantage of phonetic notation with Latin letters over other phonetic notation methods?

Xu Chunwei:First of all, the cost is low, and only 26 letters are used to express all syllable combinations (actually, Chinese pinyin has not used V). The second is to facilitate international exchanges. In 1958, when determining the scheme of modern Chinese Pinyin, there was a debate in China about whether the national alphabet (phonetic symbols) is better or the Latin alphabet (Chinese Pinyin). The conclusion is that the latter is convenient for international communication. Now only a few reference books, such as dictionaries, can see phonetic symbols. After the abolition of Chinese characters on the Korean peninsula, proverbs were used instead. Proverbs are actually pinyin characters, so they should be translated into Latin letters for foreign communication.

dalen6:What influence does the popularity of Putonghua have on dialects, and how to protect our dialects?

Xu Chunwei:Because there is no standard for dialects, many dialect words will be mispronounced by Putonghua. For example, the "WeChat" in Ningbo dialect where the subject is located should be vixin, and now many people pronounce it ueixin. Therefore, dialects also need education and standards. As far as I know, some primary schools in Ningbo and Shanghai already have local dialect courses.

Is it possible to abolish Chinese characters and replace them with Pinyin?

Bear:The reverse phonetic notation in Kangxi Dictionary didn’t have Chinese Pinyin at that time, so how to get the pronunciation of the upper word and rhyme of the lower word?

Xu Chunwei:That is the anti-tangent of the middle ancient sound. However, many dialects cannot be spelled with anti-tangent because of the relationship between ancient and modern sound changes. For example, you can’t cut out Mandarin (Beijing dialect) and Cantonese. In addition, there is still the problem that Chinese characters must be learned to learn anti-tangent, and the education cost is too high. Pinyin does not have this problem.

Zhang Yuyao:Hello, teacher, what harm will it do if pinyin is used instead of words?

Xu Chunwei:There are so many homophones in modern Chinese (Putonghua) that we can imagine the consequences of abolishing Chinese characters according to the present situation of the Korean Peninsula. Take the sudo syllable in Korean as an example, the corresponding words are "granting ferry", "rice" and "monasticism", etc. They don’t know what it means without corresponding context. South Korea later discovered the disadvantages of pinyin and had to add Chinese characters to its ID card, otherwise the rate of duplicate names would be extremely high. Mandarin has the same problem, especially when it comes to homophones with "all" and "none" but completely opposite meanings, it will increase the possibility of misunderstanding and communication costs without using Chinese characters to express their meanings.

Peng you:Since modern times, people have been proposing to abolish Chinese characters and replace them with pinyin. What do you think?

Xu Chunwei:There are so many homophones in modern Chinese (Putonghua) that we can refer to the present situation of the Korean Peninsula after abolishing Chinese characters. In particular, when encountering homophones such as "all" and "none", the possibility of misunderstanding and communication cost will increase without using Chinese characters to express meaning. South Korea later discovered the disadvantages of pinyin and had to add Chinese characters to its ID card, otherwise the rate of duplicate names would be extremely high. By the way, the real name of Lin Run Yun, a famous Korean artist in her girlhood, is written like this; Because people who didn’t understand the original translation didn’t understand the pronunciation of Korean characters, they mistakenly wrote Lim Yoon A.

Guang Zhouta’s English name Canton Tower follows the traditional spelling.

Only its meaning is exhausted:Hello, teacher. Can you pronounce the vowels ui and iu as uei and iou? Then why write it as ui and iu?

Xu Chunwei:Simple is for the sake of simple treatment, but this treatment is not without basis. Uei, iou, and another uen, the vowel in the middle will be weakened.

imshunshun:Hello, teacher! I have three questions. First, since Pinyin came into being in the late Ming Dynasty, why is Mr. Zhou Youguang known as the father of Chinese Pinyin? Secondly, some people think that the current pinyin is anti-Chinese, because pinyin uses letters and Chinese characters are hieroglyphics. What do you think of this? Third, how to correctly evaluate the pinyin system we use now? thank you

Xu Chunwei:The first problem is caused by some media. You can read my previous answer, the names of the main designers and participants of Chinese Pinyin. The second question is, in fact, there have been national alphabet forms in China, that is, phonetic symbols changed from Chinese radicals. Invented by Zhang Taiyan, the Ministry of Education of Beiyang government improved the publication on his basis. However, in 1958, when we established Chinese Pinyin, we thought that Latin alphabet was convenient for international communication, so we used Latin alphabet. The third question, personally, is really not easy to use. There is no phonetic notation in Beijing dialect, while English, French and other western languages and Japanese are voiced. Using voiced symbols B, D and G to represent unvoiced sounds [P] [T] [K] will easily lead to mispronunciations by westerners, and it will also make people in China mispronounce foreign languages. The reason why Chinese Pinyin is handled this way is that Pinyin is for the convenience of learning, not for foreigners.

Do a good job of "six guarantees" and implement "six guarantees": the Ministry of Commerce takes three measures to stabilize foreign trade

  CCTV News:Stabilizing foreign trade and foreign investment is an important part of comprehensively doing the work of "six guarantees" and implementing the task of "six guarantees". The State Council Office held a press conference this morning (18th). Minister of Commerce Zhong Shan said that the global COVID-19 epidemic has spread, and the demand in the international market has indeed dropped sharply. China’s foreign trade has indeed faced unprecedented challenges this year, and the Ministry of Commerce will take three measures to stabilize foreign trade.

  Zhongshan said that first of all, we must help enterprises tide over the difficulties. Affected by the epidemic, enterprises are facing difficulties such as tight capital, falling orders and rising risks in industrial chain and supply chain.

  Zhong Shan emphasized that the government also actively helped foreign trade enterprises to export to domestic sales after the export was blocked and lagged behind. In April, the export to domestic sales increased by 17%, which shows that high-quality foreign trade products are also welcomed by domestic consumers.

  At the same time, it is necessary to consolidate the traditional market and open up new markets. Although the total import and export volume decreased by 4.9% in the first four months, the trade of countries along the Belt and Road has risen against the trend, and the proportion has also increased greatly. ASEAN has now become China’s largest trading partner. While expanding exports, we should also actively expand imports to prepare for the third China International Import Expo(CIIE). In addition, it is necessary to cultivate new trade formats and new models.

Chongqing Specialty Legend (559) | Qianjiang Native Method of Fragrances: A small Qing Xiang needs more than 10 processes.

Many letters have been lost. Those letters that have never been sent are scattered on various pieces of paper. Lu Fengxia sorted out the letters that could still be found and copied them in a notebook, a total of 14 letters.

On the road of finding children for 35 years, disappointment and pain that can’t be solved again and again are in my heart. In the dead of night, Lu Fengxia, who didn’t read much, didn’t know who to tell, so she spread out the paper and wrote it down crooked.

"Looking at WeChat in the middle of the night, I noticed that Guo Zhen found it. It’s great news. I’m really excited. The 24-year search for children is over, drawing a satisfactory full stop.Alas, I’ve been looking for my son for 35 years, and I’ve eaten all the hardships in the world, and I’ll continue to look for my son …"

This is Lu Fengxia’s latest letter to his son. The signature is July 13th.

She saw the news on her mobile phone, and the prototype Guo Gangtang, the hero of the movie Lonely Lost, found her son Guo Zhen who had been lost for 24 years. In order to find his son, Guo Gangtang rode a motorcycle, traveling more than 500,000 kilometers in 24 years, sleeping in the wind and eating, and running around day and night. In 2015, The Lost Orphan starring Andy Lau was released, which aroused great social repercussions.

On July 15th, 58-year-old Lu Fengxia sat on the sofa in an old residential building in Zaozi Lane, Chengdu, facing an interview with a red star journalist, and her tears could not stop flowing. Outside the window, the rain was scratching, and her husband stood beside him, silent …

In order to find her son, Lu Fengxia made many posters.

"lost child"

Searching for children again and again is fruitless.

She had to write down her pain and thoughts.

In the winter of 1986, after her 1-year-old and 9-month-old son was lost in Santai County, Sichuan Province, Lu Fengxia, like Guo Gangtang, traveled all over China in the past 35 years.

It was particularly cold that winter, and it rained endlessly.

Lu Fengxia still remembers that she searched in the country with a deep foot and a shallow foot, and often fell into mud. She searched all the cities and towns near her hometown, and stayed at the railway station and bus station.

In the vast sea of people, her son disappeared from her life, and the originally calm, happy and hopeful family suddenly fell into a bottomless whirlpool.

"Zeng Wenhao was born on March 26th, 1985, on the sixth day of the second lunar month. On August 10, 1986, I took it back to my grandmother’s home in Santai County … My uncle was abducted and disappeared when he took it to the street to play. At about 3 pm on December 9, 1986, he was just one year old and nine months old. He still couldn’t speak, and he didn’t have a birthmark on his body, but there was a less obvious birthmark on his back. "

This is Lu Fengxia’s first letter to his son, dated January 26, 1987.

At that time, both husband and wife worked in Liangshan Prefecture, Sichuan Province. Her husband Zeng Hongwen worked in the geological team and Lu Fengxia worked in the shoe factory. The child has been raised by Lu Fengxia since she was born. She wants to earn more money by going to work, so that she can buy some nutrients for her children and add something new to her family at the end of the year. So, she sent the child back to her hometown in Santai County, Mianyang, and asked her grandmother to take care of it.

But more than three months later, my hometown sent a telegram: something happened to the doll.

After receiving the telegram, Lu Fengxia thought that the most serious situation was that the child was sick or had a car accident. The couple rushed back to Santai County from Liangshan Prefecture overnight. After learning that the child was lost, she was relieved. "Nothing, you can still find it …"

But this search is 35 years.

I searched the streets and alleys of Santai County, and I also searched the surrounding towns and cities. As time went by, the scope of search became larger and larger, going north to Shandong and south to Guangdong and Guizhou …

I went out to look for it again and again, and I was disappointed again and again. In the dead of night, she faced great pain and had nowhere to tell, so she found a piece of paper and began to write to her son.

Write a letter from Lu Fengxia to his son.

She wrote down her thoughts and guilt about her son and her pain and suffering. She doesn’t read much, and it’s hard to write, but she has no other way. She wants to write something to her son, or she just wants to express her pent-up pain.

It’s time for her son to go to primary school, middle school and college. She writes to her son.

I don’t know where these letters are sent, but they are left behind in the dust of time. Until last year, when she tidied up the room, she copied some of the letters she found in her notebook. She said that she would show her son when she found her son later.

Write a letter from Lu Fengxia to his son.

Learn to "rub hot spots" to expose yourself

Also become volunteers to help others reunite.

"I feel very heavy today, and I miss my son again. I have sent so much information, but there is no reply. Is this life missed? Mother don’t do (gan) heart … "

This letter was written on July 20, 2019.

On June 8 this year, the abduction office of the Criminal Investigation Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security made a live broadcast of Sichuan Suining Branch. Lu Fengxia and her husband Zeng Hongwen drove to the scene together. As a volunteer, Lu Fengxia helped a mother and son who had been separated for 31 years to reunite, and they were invited to participate in the activity.

Lu Fengxia and Zeng Hongwen wore T-shirts with information about their son’s disappearance and posters. Seeing other people’s mother and son know each other, Lu Fengxia also cried with joy. During the media interview, she quickly showed her son’s information, and when she talked about her son, tears came to her eyes.

In the face of inquiry, she took pains to tell the details of her son’s disappearance and the characteristics of her body. She frequently participates in all kinds of activities to find and recognize relatives. She is both a relative seeker and a volunteer.

Beginning in 2018, on the way to find her son, Lu Fengxia joined several volunteer teams to find relatives. There is no news from her son, but she has helped eight or nine separated families reunite with other volunteers.

She can’t miss any chance to find her son. In April this year, Brother Lamian Noodles in Shandong became popular on the Internet, and Lu Fengxia rushed to Brother Lamian Noodles’s home with several parents looking for relatives in order to "rub hot spots". Early in the morning, she began to "wait for the scene" to find the best position in order to increase the exposure under the lens of many media and network anchors.

Lu Fengxia has made many posters for seeking children.

Over the past 35 years, from posting searching for you on the streets and lanes, to looking for people in newspapers, radio and television, and now to WeChat, Weibo, Tik Tok and Aauto Quicker … Lu Fengxia has been constantly learning and using all available conditions to find her son.

She slept on the street, spent time in bridge opening, and met a liar. At the beginning of this year, a man who claimed to be suspected of her son often sent her messages in the middle of the night, and talked until late at night. Later, the other party asked her to send money to do DNA identification, and she transferred to 500 yuan to give it to the other party, but eventually it went away.

In order to facilitate the search for children, Zeng Hongwen bought an inexpensive off-road vehicle after retirement. When going out, the couple are often reluctant to stay in the hotel, and sometimes they spend the night in the car. 62-year-old Zeng Hongwen drove alone. Last time he went to Shandong to find "Brother Lamian Noodles", he left before dawn. When he was tired, he took a rest in the service area and then continued on his way.

The couple can’t say exactly how many places they have been, but what is certain is that they have traveled all over China.

"Where she decides to go, we will go, always leaving." Zeng Hongwen told the Red Star journalist that over the years, Lu Fengxia has been running around, and all he can do is silently support his wife and accompany him all the way.

Never had a reunion dinner with my daughter.

I was once deadlocked with my mother-in-law.

The couple still live in the old house in the dormitory of the unit, with the ground floor and simple furnishings.

"If the son is not lost, this family should be different." Lu Fengxia often imagined how wonderful it would be for a family to reunite. Two years after the loss of their son, the couple gave birth to another daughter. But over the years, the family has never had a reunion dinner together and taken a family photo.

During the Chinese New Year, Lu Fengxia often goes to the nursing home to volunteer. She thinks that if she does more good deeds, she may be rewarded by the reunion of mother and son.

The family kept their mouths shut, and the daughter didn’t know from relatives that she had a lost brother until she was in middle school. She told the Red Star journalist that her mother always kept her under strict control, and her mother was always "stuck" where to go and when to go home.

When her husband goes to work, Lu Fengxia looks after her daughter alone. She wants her daughter to grow up in a normal family atmosphere, but obviously, it is difficult for her to do so. Every time she went out to look for her son, she quietly walked away and quietly returned. When my daughter was in high school, she once had a quarrel with her and suddenly asked her, "You only have your brother in your heart, so you want to find him."

Lu Fengxia suddenly froze. She was so sad that she didn’t know how to explain it to her daughter. She felt sorry for her daughter, didn’t take care of her wholeheartedly, and even couldn’t have a reunion dinner with her daughter because she couldn’t face the loss of her son.

Until the daughter got married and had children, one day she offered to help her mother send her brother’s information online and tell her how to use the internet to find it.

Lu Fengxia suddenly burst into tears, and she felt that her daughter finally understood herself.

"Mom is a capable and hard-working person." The daughter told the Red Star journalist that over the years, her parents have been looking for her brother, and she also wants to help her parents. "They have suffered so much and their strength is so weak."

After the loss of her son, Lu Fengxia quit her original job, doing odd jobs intermittently, setting up stalls, selling lunch boxes and fruits … just to find her son at any time. The family is under great economic pressure, and most of them are supported by Zeng Hongwen’s salary.

After having a daughter, she took care of her daughter wholeheartedly, but she didn’t get out of the pain of losing her son. She once complained that her mother-in-law did not do her duty, and her relationship with her mother-in-law was very stiff, and even she almost divorced her husband.

Later, she thought, to keep a complete family for her son, and she hoped that when his son came back, he would see that the family had a good life.

The summer after the child was lost, the child’s little uncle went to the river to take a bath and unfortunately drowned. The spirit of parents-in-law was hit hard again, and after a few years, they passed away with regret.

Lu Fengxia’s mental state has always been bad, and her life is in darkness, which she can’t face and can’t avoid. In addition to taking care of her daughter at home, she often doesn’t want to go out. Sometimes when she sees other children on the street, she will suddenly think of her son and get out of control.

In the suffering day after day, she had to convince herself to live well. She said, "I want my son to know that my mother has been waiting for him and looking for him."

keep watch

I firmly believe that miracles will happen to me.

"Son, mom wrote to you again."

On the evening of July 19th, a publicity campaign to find relatives and prevent abduction organized by Lu Fengxia was held in a community in Chengdu. The couple made careful preparations and rushed there with posters and video materials.

However, the weather was not beautiful, and it suddenly rained heavily in the middle, so the activity had to be suspended in advance.

"It’s so sad, sometimes it’s too difficult to do something." Lu Fengxia was helpless. The event was originally scheduled for the evening of July 16th, but it was moved to July 19th because of the rain.

Her mobile phone is always busy, and there are still many young people who are looking for relatives in reverse. These young people know the story of their abduction, but they don’t know where their biological parents are.They found Lu Fengxia, who became their bridge, and then fed back the information to various channels for finding relatives.

They call her "Mama Lu". Her heart was warm, and she said that she would be their mother for the time being. "These children are also suffering. I will return them to their biological parents when I succeed in recognizing my relatives." At present, "Mama Lu" has helped more than 100 children to complete blood collection and storage, some children have found their ancestral homes, and some children are successfully docking.

At home, she changed an aisle into a bedroom to facilitate the reception of visitors. Some foreign volunteers or relatives come to visit, and she always enthusiastically helps them to live at home.

She saw one separated family reunited, and she was more convinced that miracles would always happen to her. She said that her son must not know his life experience, and his adoptive parents didn’t tell him or gave him wrong information. She said that if her son knew, he would definitely come back for her.

Write a letter from Lu Fengxia to his son.

"Son, mom misses you so much. Today is 33 years since you left mom. It’s hard to express how much you miss your son … Son, mom wants you to live a safe and happy life. Although this life is missed, I pray for you every day. My mother is getting older and older, so it’s hard to write letters in the future. My eyes are not very good. I miss my son in my heart …"

This is a letter written by Lu Fengxia to his son on April 12, 2019.

Lu Fengxia said that after searching for a child for so many years, I sometimes feel desperate, but I will soon "recover." She said that she must look for it and can’t stop. That is the only choice to support herself in the future.

"Son, mom wrote to you again today. It will be soon this year …"

There is a letter that has not been finished. Lu Fengxia can’t remember when she wrote it. She has a lot to say to her son, and sometimes she doesn’t know where to start.

Original title: the real dispersion behind the Sichuan version of Loneliness: 35 years of searching for a son, 14 letters written by a mother to her son …

Bad luck! "Who Killed Don Quixote" actually took 17 years.


Special feature of 1905 film network Have you ever wondered how long a movie can last?

Du Qifeng’s film only took 19 days, and won the Academy Award and the Golden Horse Award for best director.

It took only half a month for Liu Zhenwei to take emergency photos of Wong Kar-wai, and it became a generation of classics.

 

Han Han filmed for more than 80 days and earned 1.046 billion box office.

 

It took richard linklater 12 years to shoot, and finally won the Golden Globe Award for best film.

 

What I want to talk about today is the closing film of Cannes International Film Festival. It took 17 years to finish, and it has become a public case in the film history. Near the opening of the film festival, the film is still riddled with lawsuits, which can be said to be quite eventful.

Terry gilliam, the director of this film, is detached from Hollywood and European critics. His image style is unique and full of imagination, and everyone who has seen his films knows his madness.

The story of the new film Who Killed Don Quixote focuses on Toby, an advertising director, played by adam driver. In the 21st century, he traveled back to the 17th century and returned to the Spanish village where he had stayed, and found the works adapted from his school days. One of the villagers firmly believed that he was Don Quixote and that Driver was his servant, Sankoh Panza, and they took an adventure.

The film itself is really unusual. The director uses flashback to blur the boundary between reality and fantasy, which makes the audience fall into great madness. But behind this is actually some messy creation and a full-fledged shooting cycle. The final harvest is also a bipolar evaluation.

"Village Voice" believes that "gilliam made us feel his madness and pulled us into the crazy and beautiful world he created."

Variety believes that "this is what the director’s fans fear most, because it is clumsy, confused and chaotic."

So, in these 17 years, what happened to Who Killed Don Quixote?

1989: The Origin of Don Quixote

Terry gilliam read Don Quixote by Cervantes in 1989 and decided to try to adapt it. The film has the same name as the novel.

In 1990, he signed an agreement with Phoenix Film Company, and sean connery was negotiating to play Don Quixote. Nigel hawthorne and danny devito are also discussing the roles of Don Quixote and Sankoh Panza. But in the end, because of the low budget, gilliam withdrew from the project, and this movie became a wish that he always wanted to complete but could not.

At that time, the production company used director Fred Schepisi to replace gilliam, and the leading role was changed to john cleese and robin williams. However, this plan was cancelled in 1997.

1998: Change the title of the film and rewrite the script.

Later, gilliam resumed cooperation with screenwriter Toby Grisoni, and the film was renamed "The Man Who Killed Don Quixote". In this version, the protagonists are not Don Quixote and Panza, but Toby.

Toby lives in the 21st century, and his name comes from Grisoni. He met Don Quixote through time. This technique draws lessons from Mark Twain’s "Breaking into King Arthur’s Palace by mistake" in 1889.

 

In 1998, terry gilliam’s other film "Fear of Las Vegas" premiered in Britain, and he also announced that the next film was Don Quixote. Having lost confidence in Hollywood, he decided to make a new film in Europe, with the location in Spain, and the budget was reduced from 40 million dollars to 32.1 million dollars.

Gilliam invited jean rochefort, his "perfect Don Quixote", to play the leading role, and French actor Reshef studied English for seven months. John Denip played the role of Toby, with his girlfriend vanessa paradis as the heroine.

2000: Bad luck for the first shooting.

In September 2000, the film officially started shooting in Badenas, northern Spain. On the first day of filming, F16 fighter planes flew back and forth in the air, damaging the recording. The next day, flash floods broke out, important equipment was damaged, and the color of the scene changed.

After the crew searched for some new equipment to resume shooting, on the fifth day, when Reshef was ready to perform, he was suffering from prostate disease and his expression was very painful. Subsequently, Reshef went to Paris to see a doctor and was diagnosed with double disc disease.

In the next few days, the crew has been filming other parts, including several scenes of Depp, but no one knows when Reshef will come back. Finally, the project stopped in November 2000.

The director joked that it was "one of the most troublesome movies in history", and it seemed that heaven and hell were united in contempt of gilliam’s Who Killed Don Quixote. The words "disaster", "collapse" and "bad luck" always revolve around this terminated project. The German insurance company claimed that it brought them a loss of 15 million dollars, and then took the copyright of the script as collateral.

It is worth noting that the documentary "Help! Don Quixote caught fire unexpectedly and was shortlisted for several film festivals.

2005: Butterfly Effect under the Lack of Economic Support

In 2005, gilliam once again showed his interest in this unfinished project, hoping that Gé rard Depardieu would play Don Quixote. However, due to various unfavorable influences before, it is difficult for him to get financial support from the film company.

During this time, he tried to make other films, but they all met with problems, including Nicolas Cage’s The Defective Detective and Good Omens, whose novel adaptation was darker. During the production, there was a conflict with producer Varnstam, and long-term cooperation photographer nicola pecorini was also fired.

At the Munich International Documentary Film Festival in 2006, gilliam revealed that there was still a play in this project, and the producer Jeremy Thomas was very interested. In August, he said that the legal dispute of the film had been solved and he planned to remake the film completely.

2008— 2012: Depp or Ivan? Stupid can’t tell the difference.

In 2008, gilliam resumed film preparation. In January 2009, the script was rewritten. Later, it was reported that in November 2009, gilliam had finished the remake of the role of Don Quixote, and refused to disclose the names of the actors.

In December, he released news that robert duvall would play Don Quixote, and Depp would still play Toby. But by this time, Johnny Depp had signed a contract with Disney, which was questioned. Depp said he wouldn’t take time out of his hectic schedule to play Don Quixote.

On May 17th, 2010, it was said that ewan mcgregor played a role in the film. On September 5th, gilliam said that there was a problem with the funds a month and a half ago, so the filming was postponed again.

By 2012, Duval had always kept in touch with gilliam, and said, "We rewrite the script every year, and you will be happy to see Don Quixote return with a new look in the saddle". But at this point, ewan mcgregor is not in the cast.

2013— 2015: The actor died and the project was shelved.

In November 2013, director gilliam appeared at the Venice Film Festival. He told Variety that he was trying to remake Don Quixote himself. "I just want to finish it and take it out of my life."

In January 2014, gilliam said on Facebook, "Don Quixote’s dream has started again. Can we see that old bastard on horseback come back this year?" In an interview with Empire, he said that on September 29th, 2014, the film will start shooting in the Canary Islands. Spanish producer Adrian Guerra will provide the funds.

In August, when gilliam was interviewed by The Wrap, he said that the script had changed a little, and the story was contemporary, focusing on the harm that movies did to people. In the film, "Some people were crazy, some became drunkards, and some became prostitutes".

In September, gilliam confirmed that john hurt played Don Quixote instead of Duval. Then in an interview with Rolling Stone, gilliam said that he had encountered some minor problems. He said, "I wasted too much time on this matter. If you shoot it, you will be as crazy as Don Quixote. This decision is crazy and unreasonable. The smart people around me told me to give up, but I know they are all reasonable people. "

In December, the film announced that jack O’Connell had decided to play Toby.

In December 2015, due to the diagnosis of pancreatic cancer in john hurt, the film production was interrupted again. On January 27, 2017, Hutt died. In October, Reshef, who was originally chosen as Don Quixote, died.

2016: Funding problems lead to film stagnation.

In February 2016, gilliam talked with Portuguese producer Paulo Branco at the 66th Berlin Film Festival. At this time, he needed a budget of 16 million euros. The latter promised to give him money in September to start filming for 11 weeks.

At this time, the starring lineup changed again. adam driver played Toby, Mike Palin played Don Quixote, and Olga Kurylenko played the heroine. According to reports, Driver’s salary is 610,000 euros, while Palin’s is 285,000 euros. Gilliam hired his daughter Amy as the production director. The new story is basically consistent with the final presentation.

But before long, the problem came again. Blanca wanted to take control of the whole project, but gilliam chose to comply, because he saw the former’s successful project in david cronenberg. However, Blanca seems to feel gilliam’s disgust for himself.

Before the Cannes Film Festival in 2016, Amazon decided to quit because Blanca was a producer. The representative said, "We don’t want to communicate with him any more."

Blanca cut the original budget and reduced Palin’s salary to 100 thousand euros, which angered the latter. He also told gilliam that the project needed a real producer and appointed himself as the leader. He tried to replace Palin, give up 35mm equipment and shoot with digital equipment, at the same time threatening gilliam.

Because gilliam did not accept any conditions after the change, the final funds could not be put in place and the project was stagnant. This also led to gilliam’s heart attack.

2017— 2018: After the successful killing, there are twists and turns.

In March 2017, "Who Killed Don Quixote" started shooting again, and the role of Don Quixote was changed to jonathan pryce. He worked with gilliam on Brothers Grimm. As early as 2000, when the project was first launched, Press was one of the cast members. He wanted to play the role of Don Quixote for 15 years.

Gilliam said that the budget of the film was not as much as expected, and the whole crew was very eager to finish it. "It has been too long since I wanted to shoot it in 1989. The experience of thinking, imagining, writing and rewriting is terrible, but the interesting thing about the film is that at some point it has begun to shape itself. This is a very different movie. It seems to be doing my job. I just stick to it until the end. "

On June 4, 2017, "Who Killed Don Quixote" was finally finished after 17 years. In November, gilliam revealed that the editing was about to be completed, but it still needed several months for post-production of visual effects, sound and music.

However, there was an episode in which during the filming in Portugal, the crew was accused of destroying public property, including Christian monasteries. However, gilliam denied these allegations and said that all we did was to protect the building. It was later ruled that it was only responsible for insignificant damage.

What is even more unexpected is that the film is approaching the release and there are twists and turns. Paulo Branco, the former producer, said that the agreement signed with gilliam in 2016 was still valid, and he owned part of the rights and interests. Without his consent, the film could not be released. This lawsuit will affect the screening of Who Killed Don Quixote at the Cannes International Film Festival in 2018.

The final judgment of the case will be announced on June 15th, which was later postponed to 18th. On May 7, a hearing was held on whether the film could go to Cannes, and on May 9, it was allowed to be shown as the closing film at the film festival.

The organizing Committee of the film festival responded by saying, "The film festival is purely about choosing works of art.. First of all, we must reach an agreement with the film director. This is the case here. Past experience has made us aware of the litigation and risks we will face, but when we made this decision, no one objected. "

As the director himself said, "People like Roman ruins because they can’t see them. You can only imagine them."So gilliam always thought that his film would be better than expected. He finally turned his imagination into reality.
