Is the ticket price over 8000 "Reunion 4 Fans Festival" the final battle of scalpers?


Special feature of 1905 film network After ten years of grinding a sword, Marvel Comics’s The Avengers drama will finally end this year. The "Big Three" Iron Man, Captain America and Raytheon are likely to be in the same box for the last time, which also attracted fans’ sadness.

The end of the fans is the battle of the merchants. After the pre-sale was quietly opened in major cinemas, the word "freedom of premiere" became popular, and a movie ticket for IMAX zero-point field "emperor’s seat" was once fried to thousands of yuan. Financial freedom can afford the premiere.

The ticket price of iapm shop in Belle Palace soared to 463.8 yuan.

It is still hard to get a ticket to be the first wave of fans watching movies; When Marvel Pictures announced that its main creation was coming to China, and the fans’ festival activities grabbed tickets for free, it was not only a financial competition.

500 tickets for the red carpet and 8,000 tickets for the stands were robbed separately on April 7, and in less than one minute, all of them were robbed.Fans didn’t grab the tickets, but scalpers with tickets appeared again.

The scalper will be present the next day.
Infield offer 2400

After the ticket grabbing activity ended on April 7, scalpers began to sell tickets for the fan festival in the circle of friends the next day.

On April 8th, scalpers started selling tickets.

The scalper swears in the circle of friends: there must be a ticket for reservation, and the ticket will be given first. At the same time, I took a photo with the words "free tickets" and the admission instructions for the fans’ festival.

Photos taken by scalpers.

Judging from the photo, this is a grabbed ticket. In addition to the words "free tickets", there is also a sign prohibiting the sale and transfer.

In order to put an end to the phenomenon of scalpers on the spot, Disney adopted the triple verification of physical ticket, ID card and QR code for this movie fan ticket. You must combine the ID card and ticket code to enter the event site on the evening of the 18th.

The scalper on April 8 has no offer for the fan festival. On the 10th, when the reporter made an inquiry, the scalper quoted the price of 2,400 pieces of infield and 1,400 pieces of stands. And said real-name registration system was not needed. At the same time, I promise that I can confirm the receipt after attending the event.

April 10 reporter’s inquiry

On the 12th, the scalper posted photos of tickets for the grand ceremony, with the text "Reunification stands are random, and tickets are issued every second".

A golden Mickey sticker appeared on the ticket this time.

"The scalpers in Shanghai are very organized. They all get tickets in the same pool before invoicing. " R, a friend who often participates in Shanghai performances and meeting activities, told reporters.

She revealed that scalpers don’t necessarily have tickets when they start selling tickets. They just make sure to sell them first and then see how much they can get: "Unified pricing, sell them first, and whether they have tickets or not is another matter." She also said that in Shanghai’s performance market, there has always been a tradition that ticketing platforms are handed over to scalpers to issue tickets.

The Zhihu user who has held a concert, "Uncle Bao with Love", explained the distribution of tickets in a performance like this:

10% of the total ticket sales are PR, 50%-60% of the ticket companies issue tickets through formal channels, and the remaining 30%-40% are scalpers. Scalpers often get tickets in the last 1-2 days after the formal channels are basically completed, and they will bear the risk of those tickets that can’t be sold in the end, which is also a means for ticket companies to pass on risks, so ticket companies without scalpers are not profitable companies.

Until April 16th, when the reporter searched for tickets for the festival of fans on the second-hand trading platform, he found that the price had risen to 3,500 yuan. Sellers and reporters said that there were no tickets for the red carpet, and only one ticket for the 106th district was given by the organizer, but there was no guarantee that they would enter the scene.

On April 16th, the reporter made an inquiry on the second-hand trading platform.

Although there are many scalpers selling and transferring tickets, the reporter found that at least two scalpers use the same map and the seat numbers are exactly the same. In Weibo, many fans who are drying tickets have begun to watermark the photos they have received, for fear that scalpers will lurk on the platform and steal pictures to sell tickets.

The so-called organizers give tickets, that is, tickets with Mickey Mouse gold label, whether they can enter directly, the reporter asked a public relations officer of the event. The publicist said with a look of sadness that this kind of ticket "has only a very small part." However, the public relations refused to disclose more about whether you can enter directly with this ticket.

So what’s the scene like? The reporter decided to visit the Oriental Sports Center in Shanghai on April 18th.

8000 yuan red carpet is hard to get a ticket.
Recycling a movie fan ticket is only 300.

At 4 pm on April 18th, three hours before the opening of the event, the reporter came to the Oriental Sports Center. When you get off the bus, it’s all the way. Do you want tickets? Do you have a ticket? " Familiar greetings. The scalper has already been on the side of the sports center near the street, waiting for passers-by and fans.

Admission at 4 pm

The reporter casually inquired about the price with two female scalpers. They said that the tickets in their hands are complimentary tickets posted by Kim Mickey, and there is no need to check their ID cards. The price on the first floor is 2,800 yuan. When the reporter said that he wanted to see the ticket, the scalper repeatedly asked: "Do you want it?"

Compared with the infield, only 500 red carpet tickets are opened to fans, which is obviously more expensive. When the reporter suggested that she wanted to buy a red carpet ticket more, the female scalper said, "No one has it now. Just now, one was sold, and now you can’t get 8,000 yuan."

Getting rid of the entanglement of scalpers and continuing to walk in the direction of the venue, the reporter found that a huge open space had been surrounded by iron fences in advance, and only one entrance was opened for fans with tickets to enter. Many volunteers dressed in purple are holding signs that say please enter from Gate 0.

Outside this only entrance, the snake-like procession of ticket-holding fans has spread to the street, and there are fans waiting for them who haven’t grabbed the tickets by the iron fence. At this entrance, fans have to show their tickets to enter the certification area.

Security personnel should guard against the death of Gate 0.

Volunteers said that there were three links in the day’s entry.

Gate 0 here is the first step; After entering, you should identify it at the first white tent; After the identification is successful, exchange the admission sticker in the second white tent. Only in this way can we enter the venue and wait for the meeting with superheroes.

After entering Gate 0, two inspections are still needed.

In the area lined up for admission, there are almost no traces of scalpers. So the reporter went in another direction. Sure enough, there are scalpers around again. After inquiring about the current price, the reporter lied that he had a movie fan ticket in his hand, but for some reasons, he needs to transfer the ticket now.

After learning about the reporter’s image of ticket transfer, the scalper took the reporter to the grove near the venue, and together with several other scalpers, wanted to see the tickets in the hands of the reporter.

They repeatedly confirmed whether the reporter had tickets with Mickey Gold stickers or ordinary tickets. After learning that it was an ordinary ticket, the scalper said that only 300 yuan could be recycled. Because "we can’t guarantee whether we can get in after we sell it. In the end, we may have posted this 300 yuan."

The scalper who wants to buy movie tickets with 300 yuan at the scene.

Although there are many scalpers on both sides of the site. However, during the period from 4 pm to 5: 30 pm, there were quite few fans who traded with scalpers. When it was close to the official closing time of the iron fence at 6 o’clock, some scalpers said that their movie tickets might not be sold at all.

30 tickets were found to be inconsistent at the scene.
Female fans were cheated to buy scalper tickets in 800 yuan.

Although it is said that fan tickets can’t be sold, tickets on the spot are still in short supply for scalpers. A female movie fan went to the scene accompanied by her mother, but lost her ticket when she was shopping. There are other fans on the side, and it should be that the scalper saw and stole his ticket when he showed it.

However, the activities that night were very strict in checking the tickets for fans. Fans who don’t have tickets are blocked out first. This also includes a small number of fans who grabbed tickets but forgot to bring them to the scene.

Fans who had no tickets and forgot to bring them gathered outside the iron fence.

A movie fan who came from Anhui looked very anxious. He found that he had left his ticket at home after the high-speed train started. The reporter suggested that if he was stopped outside Gate 0, he should first ask the scalper about the price of the movie tickets. However, after asking many scalpers, the movie fan still had no result.

"There are 1000 security guards on the scene today. This activity, the ox can’t move. " A security official told reporters this way. Although any fans with tickets pleaded with him with photos, videos, electronic QR codes and ID cards of their tickets, he refused one by one, saying that this was the request of the activists and could only be implemented in this way. He told reporters that by 6 o’clock, more than 30 people’s tickets had been found to be inconsistent and were sent out.

So can the tickets with the golden Mickey label be unimpeded? At the scene, the reporter did not find the fans who held the ticket. However, a user who bought a Mickey Gold sticker on Weibo revealed that he spent 1,500 yuan to buy a third-floor ticket and successfully entered.

On the day of the event, someone in Weibo found a scalper on the scene.

The user said that Mickey Kim posted the ticket through a special channel and needed an ID card, but he didn’t check his identity. Mickey will be torn off after checking in. After she successfully entered the venue around 5 o’clock, another user revealed that because there were too many people holding Mickey Gold stickers, she was not allowed to enter.

Although the official admission deadline has passed 6: 00 sharp, there are still fans holding tickets at Gate 0. Just compared with the excitement in the afternoon, there are far more security personnel at the scene than fans and scalpers.

At the gate of the small garden facing the left side of Gate 0, the reporter met two girls dressed in yellow. They stood with several security guards. When asked about the situation, the girl said that she bought a scalper ticket at the scene with a deposit of 800 yuan, but when she picked up the ticket, she met the scene and began to arrest the scalper, and the scalper escaped. Up to now, she has been unable to contact the ticket seller who paid the deposit herself.

On-site arrest of scalpers was confirmed by another fan. She was emotional when she didn’t buy a scalper ticket. She told reporters that there were many police fans pretending to buy tickets at the scene to enforce the law on scalpers. At the same time, she vowed that these scalpers got 500 tickets directly from Disney and sold them to fans. But now these 500 tickets have been detained by the police, and Disney officials no longer recognize the validity of these tickets.

Marvel Comics officially claimed that "this event strictly implements the real-name registration system."

When the reporter asked a media person who had a close relationship with Disney for verification, the other party said that Disney could not directly give scalpers tickets. "Large-scale activities may give some complimentary tickets to security, fire protection and other departments. But Disney will never give it to the scalper. "

"Those scalpers, their tickets must have been obtained from other channels." The media person said.

Another reporter who works in Shanghai said: "Even if no official resells tickets, at least there are some people in the venues, especially the old venues such as the Oriental Sports Center … … Just like previous concerts and sports competitions, there are a lot of scalper tickets. "

As for the news that plainclothes arrested scalpers, a reporter who worked in Shanghai for five years said that if the police arrested scalpers, there would be news.

At 7 o’clock, it’s time for the official start of the activity. It’s already dark outside the venue. Superheroes’ badges were printed on the outer wall of the sports center.

Lights on the exterior wall of the venue after dark.

The emotional fan looked at the audience who were still entering the stadium at this time and said to himself, "It’s just this time, and they are all fake fans. We are real fans, but we can’t get in. Do they know what these badges mean? !”

At this time, the fans who are still waiting to see are left outside the stadium. When the reporter left, there was no scalper coming up again and asked the reporter, "Do you want a ticket?" .

Integration of the two networks-the mode and path of domestic waste reduction and recycling [4]

Third, how to implement the "two networks integration"

1. Difficulties and emphases of domestic waste

Identify the difficulties. The layout of domestic waste industrial chain, front-end source classification and back-end processing and utilization (especially low-value recyclables processing and utilization) are two major difficulties. The source classification is not in place, which makes it difficult for back-end processing and utilization; The back-end processing and utilization chain is missing, and the front-end classification is difficult to sustain. To implement the integration of the two networks, we must first study these two difficulties.

Lock the key points. Kitchen waste and recyclable waste, especially low-value recyclable waste, are the focus of reduction. By promoting the "integration of the two networks", the recovery amount of recyclable garbage and the resource utilization amount of kitchen waste will be improved, the garbage removal amount will be reduced to the greatest extent, and the terminal processing pressure will be reduced.

2. Promote the four principles of "two networks integration"

Principle of overall planning and coordination. Strengthen the coordination of various departments, establish a joint promotion mechanism, clarify the responsibilities of all parties in industry supervision, territorial management and subject implementation, and strengthen resource sharing and overall cooperation in network layout planning, facilities and equipment sharing, sorting and recycling service cooperation, incentive mechanism and publicity activities.

Principle of adapting measures to local conditions. According to the actual situation of resource recovery and garbage removal system, each region should choose the integration mode and operation mode suitable for the local area, try it first, and then gradually promote it in an all-round way after gaining mature experience, so it is forbidden to apply it across the board.

Policy support and market drive. Low-value garbage is driven by policy, while high-value garbage is driven by market. It is necessary to establish a policy support and guarantee system for low-value recyclables and kitchen waste, so as to incite market forces and form a long-term operation mechanism for low-value waste.

The principle of policy promotion, market operation and national participation. The government plays a driving and guiding role in industry planning, administrative measures, and policy mechanism guarantee. Enterprises operate industrially according to government planning. Garbage is a social public problem, and the whole people participate in garbage classification.

3, "two networks integration" to achieve three purposes.

Through the integrated operation of resource recovery network and garbage removal network in each link, we can achieve the following goals: First, reduce and recycle domestic garbage, reduce the pressure of domestic garbage terminal treatment, and promote the recycling of resources. Second, by integrating the human resources and facilities of the two major networks of sanitation, cleaning and resource recovery, collecting scavengers, improving resource recovery outlets and processing centers, a perfect and standardized recycling system for renewable resources will be formed. Third, through the integration of the two networks, promote the transformation and upgrading of renewable resources enterprises to environmental services.

4, the government, enterprises and the public rights and responsibilities.

The government is the management subject of domestic waste classification and reduction, and its responsibility is to legislate, plan, promote and supervise; Enterprises are the main operators of domestic waste, undertaking the classification, recovery, removal and treatment of domestic waste, and establishing the whole industry chain of domestic waste; Residents (including various units that produce garbage) are the producers of domestic garbage, and they are the responsible subjects of classified delivery of domestic garbage. Their duties are to classify delivery and supervise the behavior of the government and enterprises according to relevant government requirements.

5, garbage classification management responsibility subject

(1) Improve the three-level management structure. Improve the three-level organization and management structure of city, district and street (community), and pay attention to legislation, planning, overall coordination and establish a policy support system at the municipal level; At the district level, according to the planning and overall planning of the municipal government, we should do a good job in organizing, implementing and promoting, and be responsible for management; Street (township) to implement the main responsibility of management, responsible for the specific implementation of garbage sorting work to communities and households, mobilize the strength of all parties in the region, give full play to the role of neighborhood committees, communities and property enterprises, coordinate and organize the implementation, and promote the effective implementation of garbage sorting.

(2) Determine the responsible subject of garbage classification management. Garbage classification involves thousands of households, and all localities must clarify the main body of responsibility for garbage classification management: urban residential areas, where property management is implemented, streets and property service units are the main body of responsibility for classification management; Institutions, enterprises and institutions, the unit is the subject of classified management responsibility; All kinds of public places, business management units are responsible for classified management.

(3) The responsibility of the subject responsible for garbage classification management. Its responsibilities include: establishing a daily management system for domestic waste classification, and announcing the time, place and way of putting different types of domestic waste; Carry out classified publicity of domestic waste, guide and supervise units and individuals to do a good job in source reduction and classified delivery of garbage, and advise and stop acts that do not meet the requirements of classified delivery until they are mandatory; According to the relevant regulations, combined with the domestic waste output and delivery mode, the domestic waste classified collection containers are reasonably set up and kept clean and beautiful.

6, "two networks integration" operation subject

(1) cultivate the main body of operation. Through bidding or other means, select recycling enterprises with standardized management and honest operation in the renewable resources industry, or introduce enterprises from other industries as local operators to undertake the "integration of two networks", and connect the recycling and resource utilization of recyclable garbage, kitchen waste and harmful waste to build a resource recycling network and a garbage industry-wide chain.

(2) Adopt operation mode according to local conditions. After the actual investigation and summary by the expert group, what kind of operation mode is adopted by the operation subject can be adapted to local conditions according to local conditions and the conditions of the enterprise itself:

◆ Integrated mode of sanitation recovery. This model usually means that the government purchases services, and chooses an operator to undertake garbage sorting, sanitation and transportation, road cleaning, resource recycling and processing, and kitchen waste recycling, so as to provide the government with a package of domestic waste solutions, which is an all-round "two networks integration". Such as Zhuhai Xifu Company and Qidi Sander Company in Pingdu, Shandong Province.

◆ Cross-border transformation mode of renewable resource enterprises. Traditional renewable resource enterprises undertake waste sorting, network layout, recycling and processing of recyclable waste and resource utilization of kitchen waste, so as to realize the cross-border transformation of traditional renewable resource enterprises to environmental services. For example, Guiyang Gaoyuan Company, Guangzhou Supply and Marketing Cooperative, and Beijing Tiantianjie model.

◆ The extension mode of sanitation enterprises to the back end. Environmental sanitation enterprises are involved in garbage sorting, recyclable garbage recovery and resource processing and utilization. Their advantages are to give full play to the resource advantages of environmental sanitation and cleaning manpower and facilities, and improve the synergy efficiency of the two networks. Such as Beijing Jinghuan Group and Hangzhou Environmental Sanitation Group.

◆ Comprehensive government intervention mode. Government departments are fully involved in classification, station yard, network setting, main enterprise selection and layout of back-end processing and utilization, and local financial funds provide strong support. This model takes effect quickly and is suitable for initial pilot. Such as Yuexiu District in Guangzhou, Songjiang District in Shanghai and Suzhou Environmental Sanitation Department.

◆ Distributed processing mode. The front end realizes dry and wet classification, and the middle end uses the garbage compression room and transfer station of the sanitation system to carry out transformation and upgrading, and treats kitchen waste and recyclable garbage nearby and dispersedly, achieving "one field for two purposes" and changing centralized garbage treatment into distributed garbage treatment. Its advantages are short transportation distance, low logistics and site cost, and reduced leakage. Such as the practice of Shenzhen Yingchan Technology.

◆ Single-variety whole industrial chain model. Establish a single variety recycling network and a specialized processing and production base, and build a whole industrial chain of specialized recycling, processing, utilization and terminal product manufacturing. This model is suitable for low-value recyclables such as waste spinning, waste glass, and large pieces of garbage. Such as Guangdong Hengfeng Textile Co., Ltd..

I have been doing business in North Korea for 12 years, and I was accompanied by three North Koreans when I went out.

Original: Diqing Earth Youth Picture Book

△ Zhao Bin participated in the 16th Pyongyang International Film Festival.

Twelve years ago, Zhao Bin, a native of Shenyang, began to engage in Sino-Korean trade. He traveled between Liaoning and North Korea, doing business in used computers, clothing, building materials, etc., and thus gained a deeper understanding of North Korea.

The following is Zhao Bin’s self-report.

△ North Korean street

I first traveled to North Korea in 2003, when I was still in college, and I went there just out of curiosity. I’m from Liaoning, and I’m close to North Korea, so I’ll go and have a look. At that time, North Korea was still in the period of suffering March (Korean famine), the economy was relatively difficult, the power supply was tight, there were no lights at night, and even Pyongyang was dark at night. As I went to North Korea again and again in the later period, the power supply was more adequate.

△ Pyongyang subway station

When I was traveling in North Korea in the early days, I had some observations and thought I could do trade, so I naturally started to do it later. It’s not easy for Chinese to go to North Korea to do trade. If he doesn’t know people in North Korea and doesn’t understand the situation in North Korea, it’s still difficult to achieve. He needs someone to bring him to join the trade. I also found a relationship at first.

Not everyone in North Korea can do business, but all clubs (trade clubs under the army or state-owned enterprises) or trade representatives do foreign trade. North Korea is allowed to do business in the name of clubs, and the staff of trade clubs can get rewards and rewards from the state if they want to complete sales or production tasks. Many North Korean staff lived in China in those years.

Go to North Korea for gold

△ I visited Pyongyang No.1 Middle School, and students used laptops in class.

When I was a child, I remember that some people sent a lot of old TVs to North Korea. Probably in the early 1990s, when it was a big old TV set, it was not ultra-thin. In 2007, I saw someone buying a large number of laptops in Shenyang computer market. I was curious about how so many laptops were bought. The store told me that they were sold to North Korea. Because first-hand computers are too expensive for Koreans, many computers sold in many North Korean shopping malls are old.

△ Overlooking Pyongyang

I started looking for people with Korean relations, and I started slowly. I transported the recovered used computers from Dandong to North Korea by truck through an international freight company, and wrote down the contact information of the recipient of the DPRK. Trucks can be transported across the border, and trains can also be transported through international transport. At that time, North Korea did not have so many international sanctions, and trucks ran every day.

△ North Korean street

Trade is ever-changing and all-encompassing. We will do whatever North Korea needs, bit by bit, from small to big, and with the expansion of contacts, we will know more and more partners.

△ Pyongyang Dacheng Clothing Factory

Second-hand household appliances and clothing have had trade peaks in North Korea. After reselling used computers, I went on to do clothing trade. Xiliu Wholesale Market in Liaoning and Wuai Market in Shenyang are very famous in Northeast Asia. In the past, Russians and Mongolians would go there to purchase goods. We pack the clothes here, transport them to clubs in North Korea and sell them locally.

Many Koreans come to China with goods. Some North Koreans go to the wholesale market to buy a lot of clothes on business trips. Because they are cheap, they go back and add money to sell them. Now it is also the case.

△ I am accompanied by Ms. Hua Qing from North Korea.

Besides selling clothes, I have also done building materials, bulk commodities and so on. What North Korea lacked in the past, we immediately prepared it, and this kind of trade is very easy to do. When it was not sanctioned, the funds were relatively abundant. Now, after years of sanctions, North Korea’s economy is relatively weak. For example, it needs cash, but it can’t give you a refund immediately. Now both sides are afraid of being cheated in business, and there have been tragedies of being cheated before, so North Korea needs people like us.

△ I went to Pyongyang to have an interview with people from the club.

In the early years, I didn’t have to go to North Korea often. I communicated with clubs or trade representatives by sending international faxes and making phone calls. Conditional units would have a landline and fax to receive international calls. We couldn’t call their mobile phones, but only the landline. As soon as a dozen landline phones are called for someone, the person who answers the phone will shout all over the building, and then he will hear the footsteps of someone running to answer the phone.

I still use my computer to send emails. The other party needs to register my email address with the communication department before sending it to North Korea, mainly to prevent espionage. North Korea’s network is disconnected from the Internet. As soon as the club staff turns on their computers, they log on to the e-mail page and can only send and receive e-mails, but other websites can’t be opened.

△ Visit Pyongyang Dacheng Garment Factory

North Korean personnel are also very smart now. They have a relatively accurate understanding of the prices in China. They send an email directly in the form of a list, write down the prices clearly and ask me if I can do a certain price. Recently, I cooperated with the largest air-conditioning factory in North Korea, as well as the refrigerator and washing machine factory, which required tens of thousands of parts, and these parts were not new, and they were all used.

Go out accompanied by three Koreans.

△ I and North Korea accompanied Ms. Hua Qing to say goodbye at Pyongyang Railway Station.

△ stewardess of Koryo Airlines

In the past five years, I have traveled to and from North Korea more frequently because I gradually started to do business and cultural exchange of bulk commodities. Every time I go to North Korea, I take a train or a plane. It takes me 40 minutes to fly from Shenyang to Pyongyang. People from the Korean club will meet us at the airport or the railway station. Generally, there are three people, one driver and two escorts.

△ I am staying in a foreign-related hotel.

Then drive us to foreign-related hotels in Pyongyang. These hotels only allow foreigners to stay, such as Koryo Hotel, but the reception staff of the North Korean unit will accompany us throughout those days, so all of them will stay in hotels. Accompanied by North Korean personnel, you can ask where you want to go, and you can go to most places.

Sometimes the North Korean club entertains, and the atmosphere comes together, singing and dancing, and shouting "Long live the friendship between China and North Korea", which is often the case. Among all countries in the world, North Koreans should have the deepest feelings for Chinese.

△ at the entrance of international communication bureau

△ Inside the business hall of the International Telecommunication Bureau

Every time I enter the country, I will take my mobile phone card to the business hall of the International Telecommunication Bureau to activate it. I used to run a mobile phone card for foreigners in North Korea. It costs 200 dollars to open a 3G card, and the traffic fee is particularly expensive. I have to activate it before I can use it. When I went to North Korea in 2003, there was no internet, and I was not allowed to bring my mobile phone into the country. I had to stay in Dandong.

△ Jiangsu and Zhejiang businessmen cut the ribbon for opening a small shopping mall.

△ Small commodities sold in the shopping mall of Yimitai

Some time ago, I took businessmen from Jiangsu and Zhejiang to cut the ribbon in a small shopping mall opened in Pyongyang, and I planned to try it first. They are all bosses of small commodities in Yiwu, and some have their own factories, which make stationery, fabrics and clothing. They also contacted the clubs in North Korea through intermediaries and found the docking unit in North Korea before opening the shopping mall.

△ Small multifunctional ATM

North Korea Future Bank has recently developed a small multi-functional cash machine, and a small number of them are currently being promoted and used. North Korea develops software and we provide hardware equipment for the machine. These deposit machines look very simple. Insert the bank card, and the screen shows that you can withdraw money, recharge your mobile phone, and buy games and movies on them.

Korean people all have mobile phones, and you can also see low-headed people on the subway. But mobile phones have to pay to download games and movies, which is very cheap. A movie costs 1,000 to 2,000 won, which is equivalent to 2 yuan, and ordinary people can afford it.

△ I am wearing a portrait stamp with the head of the North Korean leader printed on it.

After years of trading, I was awarded a portrait seal by the North Korean government. This chapter is awarded to people who have made outstanding contributions to North Korea and needs the help of relevant units and clubs to apply. There is also a small ceremony when you wear it. It is very formal. A circle of people or several people surround you. A leader gives a speech first, praising his contribution to North Korea, then puts it on my chest, and then the people around him applaud.

If I continue to develop in Pyongyang, I may prepare to open an office in Pyongyang next year, that is, a branch. The Koreans call it a branch, so I can be more free. I can buy a car in Pyongyang and hang a red license plate for foreigners, which means "outside" in Chinese.

Life and consumption of Koreans

△ High-rise buildings on the streets of Pyongyang

△ Korea Hospital

Although I have been doing business with North Korea for more than ten years, I can only understand Korean, but I can’t speak it very well. The accompanying staff often introduce me. The North Korean government attaches great importance to education, and it is difficult for the country, but the welfare policy is better, providing free housing and education for the people. Although there are some signs of buying and selling real estate, there are not many, and the government does not advocate or oppose it. Medical care is also free, which is called the national health insurance system.

I have visited the Learning Hall of Renmin University in Kim Il Sung Square, where people are taught many things for free, such as five foreign languages, Chinese, English, Russian, Japanese and Spanish. North Koreans are now working hard to learn foreign languages, and they are full of learning spirit. Their homes are all for people to study and train college students.

△ Pyongyang people like to eat cold noodles in Yuliu Pavilion.

After Kim Jong-un took office, North Korea can be said to have undergone earth-shaking changes. Many new high-rise buildings have been built, and large national projects have been completed one after another. The whole North Korea has also set off a wave of making money. It is not shameful to make money, and the people also have the determination to invigorate the economy. In the past, North Korea did not allow consumption, even if it had money, it might not dare to spend it. Now it’s all liberalized. As long as you have money and can make money, you can spend it.

△ Department Store in Guangfu District of Pyongyang

The newly opened Dacheng department store in Pyongyang has luxury goods and international cosmetics, and many people go shopping. In the past, Koreans were not allowed to sell things secretly, but now they all turn a blind eye. At night, there are many stalls in bridge opening, a bicycle lane. Everyone sets up a stall and supports an LED lamp. The lamps are all the same, so many people go there to buy things.

△ Accompanied by North Korea who hosted me

Walking on the streets of Pyongyang, you can see that women’s clothes are also very popular, and all kinds of colors look pleasing to the eye. People don’t save much money. Without that concept, they spend money and pay more attention to the quality of life. North Koreans make their homes beautiful, and they are willing to spend money on decoration.

After all, it is the capital. Ordinary people have money. Some people also spend RMB in their wallets. There are exchange rates in shops. Many foreign currencies in North Korea are in circulation, including US dollars, British pounds, euros, RMB and Japanese yen. Some markets can only use Korean currency. I can only change RMB into US dollars first, and then change US dollars into Korean currency.

△ Round restaurant

The signs of shops on the street are particularly simple and interesting. In some places, restaurants just write the word "restaurant", which is called canteen in Korean, and shops only write shops, and the place where hair is cut is called barber shop, and it’s over, unlike our ever-changing signs here. North Korea’s signboards are not allowed to go too far, and their names must be approved, and they must be famous, such as Donghai Hotel and Yinhe Shopping Mall.

△ North Korean couple’s wedding

I once met a Korean couple getting married at the entrance of the hotel, and the escort told me that the red envelope given by the Koreans when they got married was US dollars, which was 50 dollars for a normal relationship, 100 dollars for a better one, and 1,000 dollars for relatives and friends.

North Korea’s fertility rate is not high, and the country now attaches great importance to improving the fertility rate and is slowly carrying out reforms. Women who give birth to more than five children in North Korea will be called "heroic mothers" and the state will issue certificates. If twins are born, a gold ring will be given to the boy, and a silver makeup knife will be given to the girl. The silver makeup knife is a dowry item, and it is a knife made of silver.

△ North Korean street

Visiting and trading in North Korea, I also saw more about the daily life of North Koreans. There are many taboos in wearing clothes in North Korea, such as clothes that are too exotic, jeans and more exposed ones. There are discipline pickets in North Korea. On the way, I saw the retired old lady standing on the street and watching. As soon as any girl wore something special, she immediately came out to stop: Why did you come out dressed like this? Not next time. Which unit is it?

△ Hanging paintings in North Korean hospitals

North Korea attaches great importance to the education of the main idea, and often holds meetings. In the supermarket, books with red covers are also sold, which are political and ideological study report books. Koreans will buy them, and the unit will organize study every Saturday, which has become a habit. Foreigners are not allowed to buy it, but I secretly asked the Koreans to buy one.

△ In the Enqing Hotel of Pyongyang Acrobatics Institute, North Korea accompanied the singing performance.

△ Korean people dancing in the park

The Korean nation has been a nation that can sing and dance since ancient times. In Pyongyang’s parks, people often dance together, and children can basically play one or two musical instruments, which seems to be very happy. Although North Korea is now cut off from the international community, to a certain extent, I feel that people sometimes don’t know too much and have no pressure.

△ Indoor volleyball court in Wanjingtai Children’s Palace

Koreans love sports very much. Every unit has a dual-purpose court, volleyball and basketball. They especially like playing volleyball and table tennis. From 12 noon to 2 pm, all units are closed. The whole company, regardless of men, women and children, came out to dance in groups, which was very passionate.

△ At the Pyongyang Marathon, Europeans and Americans came to participate.

△ I participated in the marathon in Pyongyang.

I have run two marathons in Pyongyang, and I have met many people from Chinese and Europe and America. Foreigners are so energetic that they are particularly curious about North Korea, but they don’t feel much after reading it.

△ I am accompanied by North Korea

North Korea is not mysterious, nor is it as terrible as outsiders think. In fact, it has been trying to integrate into the international community. It is a very normal country, but outsiders don’t understand it.

I feel honored to engage in economic activities and cultural exchanges with North Korea now, which can enhance the outside world’s understanding of North Korea. The longer I have been in contact with North Korea, I will have some feelings for this nation, and I hope that the friendship between the two countries will last forever.

How literary and artistic works dispel the myth of war: from "Soaring into the Sky" and "touch of green"

Poster of Taiwan Province documentary "Soaring into the Sky" (2015).

Taiwanese drama’s touch of green (2015) poster.

For a long time, there are often only heroes and devils, or heroes and villains, but no one in the war narrative in Chinese-speaking circles. In this narrative, we almost forgot that the war was fought by people. In fact, soldiers, whether friend or foe, like all ordinary people, have some emotions, some dignity, some pride, and a lot of love and concern. In 2015, two video works produced by Taiwan Province-the documentary "Soaring into the Sky" and the TV series "touch of green"-did not stick to the old pattern, which made us see many such ordinary people in the war, and thus let us see the real war, not the myth about it.

The story of "Chongtian" covers the period from the founding of the Kuomintang Air Force to the end of the Anti-Japanese War. Touch of green goes on to tell the story of the Air Force’s journey from the Civil War to its retreat to Taiwan Province. It is almost a historical necessity to "live thousands of tragedies and change a few lines of notes in history" However, these two works run in the opposite direction, re-combing the "love for flying, longing for the sky, and those who hate each other and love each other" from the thin historical notes. Watching "Going to the Sky" is both heartbreaking and exciting, while watching "touch of green" is like being hollowed out bit by bit, and finally you can’t cry or move. During the Anti-Japanese War, the air force’s heroism and tragic look like Phnom Penh embedded in the rumble of war. In the civil war, the same group of people lost their heroism and tragic look. Facing their own rivers and mountains, their own people only saw the distortion and ferocity of the war, and this kind of war is like a mirror that makes people have nowhere to escape, forcing them to look straight at their struggles and even madness.

Both "Soaring into the Sky" and "touch of green" tell the cruelty of war, but the contrast between them shows an extremely profound moral insight: even in a very cruel war, the justice of war purpose (jus ad bellumThe just war recognized in the Charter of the United Nations is only self-defense war and humanitarian intervention authorized by the United Nations) and the justice of war means (jus in belloThe main requirements include prohibiting deliberate attacks on civilians, prohibiting violence against prisoners of war or taking revenge actions, and all the wounded and sick should be cared for and protected; These provisions, mainly concentrated in the Geneva Convention, are still the bottom line of human nature and provide vital protection for people’s natural moral feelings.

I. "Death Training Camp"

After the September 18th Incident, in response to Japan’s full-scale war of aggression against China, the Republic of China established a school for training air force pilots in Jianqiao, Hangzhou (now Jianqiao Town, Jianggan District, Hangzhou) in 1932, namely "Central Aviation School" (hereinafter referred to as "Aviation School"). This is almost a "death training camp", and it’s no secret. Every student approaching the school gate will see the inscription: "Our bodies, planes and bombs should perish together with the enemy, warships and positions." The banner hanging at their graduation ceremony reads: "Strong men will fly in the storm and swear to serve the country and not survive." Yes, for them, death comes quickly. Many of them were shot and crashed while fighting the enemy in the sky.

Others regret it before it soars into the sky. Gao Zhihang, known as the "God of War of the Air Force", learned to fly a plane in France in the 1920s. After returning to China, he worked as an instructor in an aviation school and trained the first generation of China pilots. He shot down several Japanese planes in just three months after the Sino-Japanese war, and was promoted to the position of Colonel Commander of the Air Force Expeller. In November 1937, Gao Zhihang was ordered to go to Lanzhou to receive Soviet aid fighters. After receiving the fighters, according to the order, he led the fighters to fly to Zhoujiakou (now Chuanhui District, Zhoukou City, Henan Province). Stay where you are because of the bad weather. On November 21st, Zhoujiakou Airport received a report that 11 Japanese planes were flying to the airport. He immediately ordered the battle, but by this time the Japanese fighters had flown over the airport. Under the dive bombing of the Japanese plane, Gao Zhihang boarded the plane, and just entered the engine room, he was hit by the shells dropped by the Japanese fighters. When he was killed, his hands were still tightly holding the joystick of the plane, at the age of 30.

They may even die of all kinds of misfortunes. At that time, Liu Cuigang, one of the "Four donkey kong" of the Air Force (the second student of the Aviation School), shot down seven Japanese planes in three months. He is not only a famous flying general, but also an iron bird and an idiot. When pursuing Ms. Xu Xilin, she flew low on the other side’s roof, and she first touched her future mother-in-law by doing flying stunts.

On October 25th, 1937, Liu Cuigang was ordered to lead three planes to cover the Eighth Route Army’s counterattack against Niangziguan. On the 26th, he took two wingmen off from Lishui Airport in Jiangsu and arrived in Luoyang to refuel. At that time, the weather was very bad. He still insisted on taking off and flew near Niangziguan at 8 o’clock that night, but failed to get in touch with the Eighth Route Army by air and decided to fly back to Luoyang. On the way back, the three planes ran out of fuel. Liu Cuigang sent flares to help the two wingmen parachute and insisted on landing. At that time, the national army had less than 300 planes, and one was destroyed and one was less; If the pilot parachutes, the plane will almost certainly be damaged, but if it is successfully forced to land, it may be both man and machine. However, during the forced landing, he crashed into the Kuixing Building in Gaoping (now Gaoping City, Shanxi Province) and died on the spot. He is only 24 years old and has been married to Xu Xilin for one year.

Their death may have gone through many twists and turns, with hope and despair alternating. On April 29th, 1938, Japan sent 54 planes to attack Wuhan, its capital. Chen Huaimin (the fifth student of Aviation School), who had not recovered from the injury, took the place of his sick comrade-in-arms to meet the enemy. At that time, a Japanese plane piloted by Gao Qiao Kenichi, a pilot of the Second Air Force of the Japanese Navy, bit his landline. In the air fight, he was shot and the fuel tank caught fire. Instead of dying, he turned the fuselage and rushed to the enemy plane, which collided. In this fatal collision, he escaped death again: he successfully parachuted during the plane crash. However, he landed on the Yangtze River and fell into the water. After several struggles, I finally failed to get out of danger because of old injuries, new injuries and parachutes. Only 22 years old.

The death notice parcels that appear constantly in "Chongtian", the scene of burning paper and money that reappears repeatedly in "touch of green", the wailing of relatives, and the pilots’ black boxes (which contain their simple lives, such as their small items and various documents) are all reminding people that the deaths of these national pilots come so frequently and suddenly. The cause of death of many people is even unimaginable. However, it was themselves who first reconciled with this fact.

Shortly before Liu Cuigang’s death, he wrote to his wife Xu Xilin: "If I sacrificed my life for my country, it would be my bounden duty … I only hope that you will always remember to meet such a person as me in your life journey." Another pilot, Zhang Dafei (the 12th student of Aviation School), wrote in his diary: "I also went drinking and dancing on vacation now. I’m 26 years old, and I’ve never tasted these things before … Three days ago, my last friend didn’t return home at night, and I knew it was my turn next. I pray, I meditate, and I feel calm inside. "

Death is a moment for them, but their death often brings irreparable pain to the living, throwing the relatives and orphans into the tide of ruthless fate. Treating this aspect of war, there seems to be a strange paradox between Soaring into the Sky and touch of green.

On the one hand,As a TV series, touch of green guards deep realism.. After her husband’s death, his family members will either stay under the umbrella of the village as soon as possible, accept the "handover", marry another soldier under the arrangement of the army, and live a husband-and-wife life of "you don’t like me"; Either walk out of the umbrella of the family village and face the problem that women in that era could not escape alone: "What happened after Nora left?" Not surprisingly, they can’t escape the fate of women running away-selling themselves.

On the other hand,As a documentary, "Soaring into the Sky" tells the story of the idealism that women in reality have personally lived.. After receiving the news of Liu Cuigang’s death, Xu Xilin wrote: "In essence, you are really benevolent and have done your duty as a soldier. But I’m in the middle of nowhere, and I don’t know how to spend my time … You always say that I will spare no effort to run a school after retirement. Now that you have done your best, I have decided to follow your legacy and start with basic education to instill your indomitable spirit in the future youth. " At the end of 1937, Xu Xilin founded Cuigang Primary School in Kunming.

Japanese pilot Gao Qiao Kenichi died in an air fight with Chen Huaimin. A letter and photos just sent to him by his wife Mieko were found among his relics.

Kenichi:

Somehow I always feel uneasy and want to hear from you … I even sometimes think that it is better not to be a pilot’s wife. Being a pilot’s wife always leads a lonely life. So I am sometimes happy and sometimes sad, and my heart is full of tears! Sometimes I can comfort myself when I think that many people have died innocently … and you are still alive, but after three or four days, I am still disheartened! ….. Your family misses you infinitely, and I hope you take good care of yourself. It is not an honor to die alone. I pray you to perform your duties very carefully! The nanny who takes care of the children, after taking a bath for them every day, puts them into the warm bed with great concern, and the children always sleep soundly. These two children live in laughter every day. …

Mieko, April 19th

The day before, I watched my brother Chen Huaimin go out of the house and read a letter from Mihui Zi. The twenty-year-old woman actually wrote back to the twenty-year-old woman in the enemy country:

Mrs Gao Qiao, Ms Mieko:

….. I lost my brother’s mood, which made me put myself in your shoes (literally) thinking that you lost Mr. Gao Qiao’s mood, and that the Chinese and Japanese people were so tragically sacrificed under the wrong policies of your warlords! My mother, who only gazed sadly at the careless river and the bleak moonlight, let the painful memories beat her old and broken heartstrings. However, you are young and affectionate, and pieces of cherry blossoms will also arouse acacia. You may be able to think about the fate of mankind from the tragic experience! Brother Huai Min resolutely rammed Gao Qiao’s plane and mutually assured destruction with Gao Qiao. This is not to vent his personal vendetta against Gao Qiao. He and Gao Qiao Jun have no personal enmity. They just crushed themselves on behalf of two different forces … I often miss you. Thinking of your two children who lived in laughter all day, and your disabled and desolate life since then, I wish I could not come to your country immediately to see you in person and share a friendly life with you. I will never hate you for your domestic warlords’ aggression against us. I deeply understand your pain of being oppressed by that crazy warlord … I have to tell you that I hate war. But we in China are fighting against violence, and this kind of war is a war to safeguard justice and humanity. This meaning is different from yours. If your warlord’s brutal behavior towards China and his ambition to occupy China’s territory don’t stop for a day, every Chinese of us, regardless of sex, age and age, will take part in a more violent and intensified struggle, and even if it is shattered, no one will give in …

Chen Nan wrote on May 31, 1938.This letter was published in Wuhan Daily at that time, and it was translated into many languages and spread all over the world. After that, Chen Nan searched for Miyoko in many ways and finally found her in 1990, half a century later. —— Author’s Note)

Second, the debt of conscience in war

Pilots are likely to look down on their own death, because they know that "every take-off may be a farewell, and every landing should be thanked to God". What makes it more difficult for them to let go is the death of others that they saw with their own eyes and even caused with their own hands. In a letter to his girlfriend Qi Bangyuan, Zhang Dafei, a student of the 12th Aviation School, wrote his "victory" like this: "I took off two days ago to search for enemy planes. A plane painted with red sun suddenly appeared in the crack in the clouds directly ahead. I saw the face of the man in the cockpit gently and clearly. Look frightened. I didn’t have time to think about it. I only knew that if I didn’t shoot first, I would die. Up to now, I can’t forget the face of the pilot who fell into the plane. "

For ordinary people, "Do not kill" is the deepest moral law. Soldiers used to be ordinary people, and many soldiers still can’t overcome this heavy moral law when they go to war.. According to the research of American military historian Marshall (1900-1977), 75% of American soldiers who fought in the front line in World War II never fired a gun at the enemy, even though they were facing threats. It seems that they are more afraid of killing people than of being killed themselves. For people with a sound conscience, killing people always seems to kill their own humanity at the same time. Zhang Dafei’s haunting face of Japanese pilots is full of fear, which represents the common conscience debt of soldiers, even though they firmly believe that their actions are just. (For data on the proportion of American soldiers who never fired at the enemy in World War II, see Marshall’s book: Men Against Fire: The Problem of Battle Command, first edition, 1947; The data was later questioned, but in World War II, many American soldiers were afraid to shoot because of moral concerns, which was indeed widespread. —— Author’s Note)

If the conscience debt of killing the enemy can be alleviated by resorting to justice for the purpose of war, another debt may be more difficult to discharge:When the comrades who fought with themselves were desperate, there was nothing they could do..

In June, 1944, American soldier Bill Evan landed in Normandy with his village friend Frederick Jones. When they were marching to a French village, they were attacked by the German army, and the branches scattered by the bomb pierced Jones’ face. More than fifty years later, Bill recalled the scene in a documentary:

Jones kept screaming … All I could see was that the flesh on his face was torn open, the cheekbones were exposed, and the blood kept spraying out … I took out my bandage and wrapped it around his face three times, when I heard the chief shouting, "Ivan, leave him alone, leave him alone! Leave him to the medical team … Get out, get out … "I left him there … I didn’t know until a few years ago that Jones died that day, bleeding to death …" (See World War II: The Last Heroes, 1 Season, Episode 2. —— Author’s Note)

At this point, Bill’s wrinkled cheeks are red, his lips are trembling and his eyes are full of tears: "I feel guilty, I am not smart enough … what I did didn’t help him at all …"

Watching his comrade-in-arms die, Bill still can’t get over it after more than 50 years, and the experience of killing his comrade-in-arms personally made Guo Fan, a pilot in touch of green, almost completely collapse. The Japanese army provoked him. He took two wingmen to meet the enemy and was surrounded by the Japanese fleet. A wingman disintegrated in the air after being shot. Another wingman crashed, and the pilot Zhang Zhichu couldn’t leave the cabin. The plane caught fire and was about to be burned alive. Zhang Zhichu radioed Guo Fan for help, begging Guo Fan to kill him in the air, so that he could avoid longer and more severe pain. Guo Fan flew back in tears and used the last row of bullets on Zhang Zhichu. For a long time after that, Guo Fan was afraid to visit his dead comrades in the Air Force Mausoleum.

Jiang Weicheng (the captain of the 11th Brigade in touch of green) cherishes his superb flying skills. For his future, he lets him hide this experience of falling into enemy’s trap, losing the whole team and killing his comrades by himself. However, Guo Fan can’t help it. He must say it, even shout it out, and let everyone know that it seems that only in this way can he get the qualification to worship in Zhang Zhichu’s cemetery, and at the same time get the inner peace of flying to the sky again.

In any case, killing the enemy, witnessing the death of a comrade-in-arms, and even sending a comrade-in-arms on the road by hand are all right in a sense, or at least not wrong. So Bill would say, "I feel guilty, but not that I blame myself." Therefore, Guo Fan will feel comforted by Zhu Qing’s words, "I think it is courage for you to fly back".

Compared with all this,There is another kind of death and killing that seems never to be right: killing civilians in war..

According to the international law of war, in war, the army should openly hold weapons and clearly identify itself; The target of the attack can only be the opposing army; At any time, we should try our best to avoid hurting civilians who are not involved in the war. Touch of green tells the story that the air force swept away and killed villagers in the civil war, which is the most disturbing. The superior ordered them to go out on a task, and they were choosy and found various reasons to escape. The officer angered them: "You are not fighters or bombers. What kind of planes are you!" " Guo Fan replied, "We are dustpans, and we specialize in sweeping villages!" They were humbled in one word.

Even if there is a situation, even if there are military orders, they still can’t escape the condemnation of their conscience. Killing the innocent has become a curse that they can’t cross over. After a village sweeping operation, looking at the bodies of women and children, Jiang Weicheng choked and said, "We will pay for it." Guo Fan picked up the bamboo-woven insect that the little girl was playing with before she died, and said, "I have already called for retribution; Zhu Qing wrote that the child was gone. " ….. He took the bamboo insect back to the barracks and put it in front of his bed. He often took it out and played with it, thinking about his unborn child. It seems that only this explanation of exchanging life for life can bring him some comfort. At the end of the civil war, this hot-blooded young man who fought against Japan for seven years and tried to die with the Japanese plane died in the northeast battlefield. The banner of "People’s War Criminals" hung on the wreckage of the plane revealed the absurdity and sadness of his fate.

Third, post-war syndrome

For soldiers, compared with their common death, living is not necessarily much better. When the war comes, it is often time for soldiers and their families to separate, because the battlefield is in the front and home is best in the rear. This separation has opened two parallel worlds: people in one world have to face death and disability constantly, and people in the other world have to calculate daily necessities. The pilot is like a kite in the sky, walking through the bloody rain, and his family’s concern for him is the thread tied to the kite, which becomes their only connection with another world.

Zhang Dafei said in his diary: "In the past eight years, her (Qi Bangyuan) letter has been my greatest comfort." In the northeast battlefield, Jiang Weicheng, Shao Zhijian (in "touch of green", first served as the vice captain of the 11th Air Force Brigade, then promoted to captain) and Guo Fan gathered around to open a letter from Nanjing, which was one of the few warm scenes under the dark background of the war. But as the war unfolds for a long time, how can the thin thread tied to the kite stop these two parallel worlds from drifting away?

Guo Fan is an iron bird idiot like Liu Cuigang. He left home after his wedding. Every day, he took a photo of his wife Zhu Qing in his hand and put it in his bag, but he had to admit painfully, "I don’t even remember what my wife looks like." This alienation is not only the alienation of time and space, but also the alienation of military career and peaceful days. For those desperate people who always wander between life and death, lovers and children seem to have become some abstract values, as if you just "know" that they are important, but that kind of "importance" has no body temperature, no breath, and is more like a symbol. Because of this, Guo Fan can’t remember his married life with Zhu Qing, but only remembers her when she was a student. Soldiers are actually in a very poor living condition, because in the long-term survival condition, they simply can’t spare more psychological space for those things that could have made their lives full and rich.

At the end of the war, these two parallel universes suddenly merged into one. The air force returned to earth from the sky. Shouldn’t this be the best reunion? In fact, this is often not the case.The war and the army have shaped the unique character, ability and lifestyle of soldiers. These abilities and qualities tailored to the battlefield often have no room for display in peaceful life, and even are incompatible with ordinary citizens’ lives.. Jiang Weicheng, a former air force instructor and captain of a flight brigade, was first-class in flying skills. He was brave and decisive in fighting, but after leaving the plane and the battlefield, he became a useless man. The plane seems to have already become a part of his body, and it is the most flexible and powerful part that gives him the whole spirit. Leaving the plane, he seems to have lost his soul. This is not Jiang Weicheng’s personal problem, but a common problem faced by soldiers: what can they do when they return to civil society after leaving the army? American policy experience and statistical data in dealing with veterans’ problems show that the unemployment rate of veterans is often higher than that of the general population if there is no effective systematic support from society and government.

Not only are their professional skills useless in the civil society, but for those who are lucky enough to survive, the cruel war is often not really over. After Jiang Weicheng came back from the northeast, he was afraid to meet children because he had killed too many children. He often dreams of going back to the battlefield, hearing his comrades’ cries for help and seeing their tragic deaths. His memory is slowly fading, and sometimes he can’t even recognize his wife. The depiction of Jiang Weicheng’s post-war mental state in touch of green can be regarded as an artistic expression of what is called post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in modern medicine.PTSD is common among soldiers returning from the battlefield..

American veteran Charlie Grijalva served in Afghanistan for 18 months and in Iraq for one year. He was diagnosed with PTSD in the army and suffered from depression for a long time. After retiring, he lived in California with his wife Gloria. They have a two or three-year-old boy and a baby still in Gloria’s belly. Because of various problems in the American veterans’ medical system, Charlie’s PTSD failed to get timely and effective treatment. Christmas in 2014 is coming, and he insists on giving his children a wonderful Christmas, filling the room with Christmas music, decorating the Christmas tree and drinking hot chocolate.

Gloria said: "Although he suffered from depression at that time, he still hoped that his children could have such a Christmas", and lived a carefree Christmas like he did when he was a child. However, just a few days before Christmas approached, Charlie sent his wife a short message saying, "I love you!" " A few hours later, Gloria found her husband hanging himself.

In 2014, an average of 20 veterans committed suicide every day in the United States. For soldiers who return to civil society with all kinds of physical and mental trauma, love and affection are like silk threads tied to their normal lives, thin and fragile.

Fourth, how does the country treat the soul of the patriotic army well?

The suicide of veterans is not that they are irresponsible, nor that the love of their loved ones is not warm enough. Turning an ordinary person who is flesh and blood, painful and afraid into a soldier who does not run back without thinking, but rushes forward regardless of life and death in the face of bullets is a thorough transformation. And turning a soldier who rushed forward regardless of life and death in the face of bullets into an ordinary person whose wife and children are hot and remember to pay the electricity bill every month is another transformation. If a country is only willing to spend its resources and efforts on the first transformation of its soldiers, and throw their second transformation to themselves and their families, why should such a country ask its people to join the army and sacrifice for it?

Jiang Weicheng in "touch of green" did not receive medical services for veterans, but suffered more humiliation under the white terror of the Kuomintang. This taiwanese drama is sincere, and it shows the country’s debt to the soldiers to the point where it hurts to the bone.

These two video works show not only the China Air Force of that era, but also all the soldiers involved in the war, their honor, pain and suffocating helplessness behind the seemingly unrelenting feat. Ordinary people have no right to stop the war, but if thousands of us are full of sympathy and cherish for the soldiers and refuse to use them as tools for expanding ambitions, fighting for power and venting hatred, we are more likely to have a government that uses troops prudently.

I don’t agree with absolute pacifism that we can’t fight back under any circumstances, because sometimes we have to take up arms to defend our homeland or safeguard justice. Moreover, if every country only fights a just war, there will be no war; If every country that fights a just war can fight in a just way, soldiers will not be loyal and righteous.

But,have onlyEvery country that has fought a just war in a just way can treat its soldiers well, and the world is worthy of the peace they exchanged with their lives, blood and a life that might have been very happy..

Have you ever been targeted by a film seller? Where did the movie seller go after Weibo commented on the restrictions?

Behind the flood of "Little Yellow Man" in the comment area is a hidden illegal drainage industry chain.

People who regularly brush Weibo may have this worry: in social software such as Weibo, WeChat and QQ, many "movie sellers" drain illegal websites by commenting, paying attention and sending private messages, and the indecent content they send has become "psoriasis" in the online world.

Nowadays, the behavior of "selling movies" has been restricted.

After the rectification in Weibo, the crackdown on internet piracy was even more severe. On June 12th, Weibo set a rule of paying attention to seven days before commenting, and said that this measure was aimed at cracking down on illegal websites and conducting illegal content related to pornographic video transactions. This has limited some users’ experience, and also made some publishers of illegal advertisements selling films and medicines by inducing words in popular Weibo comments lose an important drainage place.

With the attack of various platforms on this kind of advertising behavior, the means of "selling film brothers" are constantly being refurbished, and the victims of these malicious drainage behaviors are often ordinary users who want to clean up the network environment and curious minors who are ignorant of the world.

A survey by the Beijing News Shell Finance reporter found that behind the flood of "Little Yellow Man" in the comment area, there is a hidden illegal drainage industry chain. After the review in the comment area is becoming stricter, such malicious drainage behavior may also appear behind the private letters, concerns and even praises of ordinary users.

"The drainage industry is actually a marketing black product, which is characterized by making extensive use of the identity information of normal citizens, bypassing the platform restriction rules, sending a large number of drainage contents such as pornography, politics and vulgar advertisements, and finally realizing them in the form of fraud." Li You (a pseudonym), an expert in anti-fraud lab, told the reporter.

After the "selling films" in the comment area was severely punished, the censorship was evaded by means of "building in the middle of the building"

"Think about it, why are you being targeted by film sellers?" This sentence used to be a sentence that netizens often teased in Weibo’s comments, but once the comment area was really flooded with all kinds of pornographic comments, most netizens would feel uncomfortable.

Netizen "Ginger Ginger Ginger" sent a complaint to Weibo in May, saying that his Weibo was "targeted by pornography" and posted many malicious comments in his comment area. Many netizens said that these movie sellers were "everywhere". As long as Weibo has traffic on the hot search, the comment area will often attract such drainage comments.

The reporter found that many porn reviews use keywords such as "father-in-law’s daughter-in-law" and "long-legged green tea biao" to attract users to click. After clicking, they often jump to pornographic websites and ask users to pay.

At present, although Weibo strictly controls comments in the comment area, many "film sellers" can still take advantage of the loopholes.

On June 27th, Shell Finance reporter of the Beijing News found the trace of "selling films" in a popular Weibo comment area, but its method of "selling films" became quite complicated: firstly, it did not comment directly under the popular Weibo, but replied in the top comments in the popular Weibo comment area, which belonged to "comments in comments", and the comment content was a picture of a semi-naked beauty with the words: the original picture was at @XXX. The reporter clicked on the Weibo user of this comment @, and found that there were large-scale pornographic pictures on his homepage, with a website link attached. Clicking on the website link found that he jumped to a "movie selling" website, indicating that 28 yuan could buy pornographic movies, and provided the payment method of Alipay. At this point, the process of draining to pornographic websites through Weibo comment area is completed.

The reporter of Shell Finance found that, influenced by Weibo’s "strike hard" pornographic comments, the "movie seller" could only comment on the published comments, and the drainage was realized in the form of "building in the building". The process was more tortuous than the previous direct reply to indecent comments in hot search, which increased the cost of malicious drainage, but it also showed that no matter how the platform was banned, violators could always find ways to counter the ban rules of the platform.

"The platform and malicious drainage of black products are in the process of dynamic confrontation." Li You told the reporter, "If the rules are too strict, it will be deleted by mistake, which will affect the user’s experience. It is unrealistic to completely ban the drainage of gray and black products, unless everyone can’t comment. However, if the rules are relaxed, they will be invaded by gray-black products, and they can only gradually increase the drainage cost of gray-black products, so that they can retreat. "

Comments and private messages frequently show toner drainage "robots", and the price ranges from 1 yuan to 388 yuan

Weibo is not the only battlefield for film sellers. Many social apps, such as QQ, WeChat, Momo, Tik Tok, etc., are active places for these movie sellers.

Some netizens reported that there are always comments from strange users in their comments posted on QQ, and the comments are usually random words, but if you click on the portrait of the strange user, it is usually "a hole in the sky".

On June 23rd, Shell Finance reporter clicked on the comment of a QQ user who "looked at my head first", and found that if he entered the user’s space, he would jump to the document analysis page of Tencent weiyun, but the document content only had a picture with a QR code. If he scanned it, he would jump to another picture with a QR code and explicit content, and then he would jump to a pornographic website. If he wanted to watch the website video, he would have to pay a fee of 6 to 25 yuan.

A black production studio, which claims to provide "toner drainage on all platforms", said that it can provide drainage service at the price of one person in 2 yuan, but only on the micro signal provided by reporters. "If the direct website address is easy to be blocked, we will first drain the fans to your micro-signal or QQ number through words, and then drain them by sending private messages."

Shell Finance reporter found that almost all of these drainage studios use machine scripts to send private messages in batches. On June 26th, the reporter found a number of "studios" engaged in drainage services by searching for related keywords, and some studios also sold scripts of "drainage robots" part-time. These scripts involved many platforms such as WeChat, Weibo, QQ, Toutiao, Tik Tok, Momo, 58 Tongcheng, Jiji.com, Meipai and Soul, and the prices ranged from 1 yuan (single platform) to 388 yuan (multi-platform package price).

For investigation, the reporter bought a set of "customized drainage scripts" from a merchant at a price of 35.2 yuan, including 22 platforms including Himalayan, WeChat, Tik Tok, Meipai, Weibo and Tantan. After opening the script, the reporter found that its "function settings" include seven functions: video comment, fan private message, fan attention, comment private message, comment concern, comment praise and friend private message. On this page, users can manually input comment speech and private message speech, in addition, they can also make routine settings such as sending pictures, repeating sending, adding attention, and double-talk speech, and can also screen men and women.

In this regard, Fang Chaoqiang, a lawyer of Beijing Yingke (Hangzhou) Law Firm, told the Beijing News reporter that the behavior of diverting users from different platforms to micro-signals through speech induction involves at least false advertisements. "If this behavior is ultimately sold as legitimate goods, it is suspected that marketing methods are illegal. After all, this is a false advertisement. If you sell obscene articles or commit fraud, then those who provide drainage services should also be arrested as accomplices, because even if it is only a commercial entrustment relationship, it also provides business cooperation, which plays a role or even a major role in the spread of obscene articles. "

How to manage the malicious external chain after jumping against the platform ban for many times?

Shell Finance reporter noticed that whether it is comments, private letters or concerns, the inevitable process of draining from a formal social platform to an illegal website is to jump to the outside chain, which often becomes the key place for the platform to attack, so many black and gray products do not hesitate to fight against the ban by jumping many times. As mentioned above, the whole process of draining to an illegal website through QQ avatar jumped three times before "getting into the business".

"There is no way to do this." In an exchange forum of black and gray products on the external network, a practitioner of black and gray products said, "In the early days, H5 links can be directly sent for drainage, and (pornographic) APPs also encourage users to recommend downloads through WeChat QQ, so as to pull new drainage, but later we found that the supervision of the platform is getting stricter and stricter. If you directly send external links to download the app or website address, it will be directly banned by WeChat, so it is increasingly difficult to do drainage on the regular platform."

Zhong Guangjun, director and security expert of WeChat Security Risk Control Center, told the reporter that the external chain includes card links and picture QR codes in the form of presentation. "According to the" WeChat External Link Management Specification ",we divide the standards of violations into 19 categories, including common induced sharing, vulgar spam advertisements, praise collection, fraud and so on. Since January this year, we have dealt with more than one million illegal external chains that have been confirmed by evidence. The overall number of illegal external chains has decreased by 35%, the links of induced sharing classes have decreased by 40%, and the red envelope fraud category has continued to decline by 60%. "

"Our vision is to hope that WeChat friends circle and WeChat chat are places to share life bits and pieces, but some black and gray places just make a fuss about using external links to induce users to share and spread. These illegal external links often contain some malicious content such as junk marketing, vulgarity and fraud, which seriously undermines the normal experience of our normal users and even affects the healthy ecology of the platform. In addition, such a large number of illegal external chains have extended a series of black and gray industries. For example, in order to avoid the security strategy and crackdown needs of WeChat, illegal external chains need to reserve a large number of URLs and a large number of network domain names, which not only seriously harms the WeChat platform, but even affects the development order and norms of the entire Internet. " Zhong Guangjun said.

Shell Finance reporter noted that in order to crack down on illegal website drainage, Weibo has also upgraded its technology. A few days ago, Weibo announced that there were many illegal contents in Weibo’s comments recently that drained illegal websites outside the station and traded pornographic videos. The station centralized and quickly dealt with this kind of Internet illegal activities, and at the same time triggered a fierce confrontation between illegal organizations and Weibo’s security measures. In order to effectively curb the harassment of Internet piracy on platforms and users, Weibo will further upgrade its technology identification system. At the same time, Weibo has launched a special rectification campaign for malicious marketing accounts for two months. Only from June 12th to 18th, Weibo disposed of more than 80 marketing tubas and 210,000 pornographic and vulgar trumpet.

"It can be seen that malicious traffic actually contains a lot of problems. I feel that it is not enough to rely solely on the work of an Internet company or network platform or rely on the crackdown of the competent authorities. Building a clear network environment requires not only our large network system, but also the participation of Internet platforms, ordinary users, and multiple regulatory authorities and competent authorities in social co-governance." Zhong Guangjun said.

Galloping with Bond: Appreciation of Classic Cars in 007 Movies

  [Car Life] lasted for 50 years, and 22 films were born, with 6 starring roles changed, but there was always only one hero. This is the well-known "007" film, a timeless and always exciting classic series. In addition to James Bond, the engaging spy, and many enchanting Bond girls, the classic of 007 is indispensable for many classic cars that accompany Bond in the battle. Today, the first thing I present to you is the unforgettable British feelings in the car of "007", which is synonymous with courage and super ability.

Aston Martin DB5(1963)
Films: Goldfinger, Thunderbolt, golden eye and casino royale.
Special equipment: machine guns, changeable license plates, ejection seats, chariot wheels, lubricating oil launchers and smoke screens, etc.

  The DB5 is definitely a model worthy of a special book in Aston Martin’s history. It was with its stunning appearance in the Golden Finger of 007 in 1964 that Aston Martin became famous and really attracted the attention of the world.

  In fact, when Ian Fleming wrote Goldfinger, the book chose the DB4 model that was still being produced at that time. A few years later, when the best-selling novel was adapted into a movie, this silver-gray DB5 specially made for the movie made its coolest new car appearance so far. Subsequently, in thunderball in 1965, DB5 became 007′ s car again. Since then, Aston Martin has formed an indissoluble bond with 007.

  The super-power DB5 prototype tailored for Bond in the film was officially launched in 1963. It follows DB4′ s Superleggera frame structure in shape design, with elegant lines and a sense of strength, and simple and elegant interior design.

  In terms of power equipment, DB5 is equipped with 4.0L inline 6-cylinder aluminum alloy, with a maximum of 284 horsepower and a maximum of 390N.m With a 5-speed gearbox from ZF, the maximum speed can reach 233 km/h. It was with the enthusiastic response of 007, elegance, luxury and strong power that DB5 sold 1,200 vehicles within two years, even though the price was as high as 4,000 pounds at that time, and this sales figure was much higher than that of previous generations, making it one of the most popular luxury at that time.

  However, when Bond, played by Sean Connery, saw his new car for the first time in Goldfinger, it was not love at first sight, but when Dr. Q, the chief scientist of MI6, directly announced: "According to M’s order, 007, you will drive this specially modified Aston Martin." At that time, a special DB5 and an unusual 007 chase journey have begun to be staged in a thrilling way.

  Dr. Q provided this DB5 with all the devices that a secret agent dreamed of: two 7.6 mm machine guns hidden behind the headlights, a bulletproof baffle placed in the trunk of the car, and an ejection seat for unfriendly passengers. The number plate in front of the car can also be replaced, and even the navigation system was conceived and added in advance by the creator of Bond in 1964.

  What deserves special thanks to Aston Martin DB5 is bond girl Mania’s wonderful performance while driving in Goldfinger. Bond’s means to get rid of the tracker are legendary. In the film, an oil blanket with spraying function is hung on the front of the DB5 car, which leads to the Mercedes skidding accident of Orikkin’s minions. In the fourth film "thunderball", DB5 has been modified again, and it can spray water swords from the rear of the car, which hinders two hooligans who are following.

  In addition, a telephone installed inside the car door, several retractable bumpers, a nail spreader, or a hidden weapon compartment under the seat, are all specially made for the agent car DB5. The DB5 model that was once used in Goldfinger was finally taken away by American businessmen for 2.6 million pounds (about 28 million yuan) in 2010.

  Besides being famous on the screen, DB5 was once one of the elements of popular culture. In 1966, Britain personally visited Aston Martin, and the Queen visited the Bond car on display in the factory workshop. The Queen also received an electric car model from the DB5 design room, and this DB5 car model was equipped with all the extra equipment, including an automatic card changer and a cigarette lighter, which eventually became a gift for Prince Andrew.

  It is reported that DB5 will return to the big screen in the 23rd installment of the 007 series "Sky Falling" which will be released in October this year, and what new performances the classic legend in this 007 car will have is expected.

Fill the domestic gap! China’s first group standard for skin micro-ecological cosmetics was released

       Cctv news Recently, the group standard of Microbiology (amplicon Sequencing) (standard number: T/CHCIA0012-2023), which was jointly drafted by Shandong Freda Biological Co., Ltd., Shanghai Universities of Applied Sciences, Air Force Characteristic Medical Center and Ou Shiman Holding Group Co., Ltd., was officially released and implemented after the national group standard information platform was publicized without objection.

  This standard is the first group standard issued and implemented in the field of skin micro-ecological cosmetics evaluation in China, which provides an important standard basis and theoretical support for guiding and standardizing the efficacy evaluation of skin micro-ecological cosmetics.

  As the main drafting unit of the group standard, under the guidance of China Daily Chemical Industry Association, Freda Bio-Co., Ltd. carried the banner of group standard research in the field of skin microecology and took the lead in organizing the whole process from proposal, project establishment, investigation, drafting, soliciting opinions, meeting review to final promulgation and implementation. After several rounds of discussion, review, revision and improvement by the expert group, the standard was officially released on March 13, 2023 and implemented on April 15, 2023. Twenty-nine members of the Standardization Technical Committee of China Daily Chemical Industry Association and experts in the industry participated in the standard audit, and a total of 22 review comments were collected, all of which have been adopted and jointly promoted the standard landing.

  In the field of skin microecology research, Freda Bio-Co., Ltd. has established the first skin care platform of skin microecology science in China and obtained many research results on skin microecology. In the future, based on the research results, the company will continue to introduce guidelines for skin microecological evaluation of cosmetics in different dimensions, which will provide scientific basis and guidance for the development and evaluation of skin microecological cosmetics in the industry and quickly promote the development of skin microecological scientific skin care in China.

  In recent years, the popularity of micro-ecological skin care has continued to rise, and more and more studies have confirmed that skin micro-ecology is closely related to skin health. International and domestic cosmetics have introduced "microecological skin care" products by adding prebiotics, metazoans and other ingredients, and the research on the correlation between skin microecology and skin efficacy continues. Aiming at the claims of improving microecological balance, it is widely recognized to evaluate the efficacy of microecological products by testing the changes of microbial flora before and after using the products, but this testing method lacks clear and unified standards in crowd selection, testing methods and statistical analysis of data.

  The implementation of the group standard "Guidelines for the Evaluation of Cosmetic Skin Microecology (amplicon Sequencing)" will provide an important standard basis and support for the efficacy evaluation and standardization of cosmetic skin microecology. The establishment of this group standard will fill the blank of the lack of guiding principles in the evaluation of skin microecology cosmetics in China, guide cosmetics researchers to adopt reasonable evaluation methods to evaluate the efficacy of skin microecology cosmetics, and make the skin microecology evaluation and corresponding efficacy publicity well-founded.

Eight-character numerology, the great hypothesis of China ancients?

        Early spring of 1967, the second year of the "Cultural Revolution". The 19-year-old Lu Zhi was only in high school for one year, and the school closed and made a revolution. In that crazy era, everything related to traditional culture was dismissed as the "four olds". Depressed but eager to find out the future fate, Lu Zhiji was introduced by a good friend’s mother and came to the home of a fortune teller who lived in an alley at the intersection of Chongqing Road in Huaihai Middle Road, Shanghai. In the depressed years, Lu Zhiji hoped to see a little bit of the future.

        "In the dim light, the old man with silver hair calculated the horoscope for me. At that time, I talked for more than half an hour, and I can’t remember the specific content. But there are two sentences that are deeply imprinted in my mind. He said with a strong Ningbo accent,’ Brother, study hard. Just be 30 years old, and you will go abroad to study in the future. " Lu Zhiji recalled the past 40 years ago to The Paper (www.thepaper.cn) reporter, "Traveling abroad was almost impossible for me at that time. At that time, whether the high school courses could be completed became a problem, not to mention going abroad for further study, and my family had no overseas relations at all. "

        In 1977, the ten-year "Cultural Revolution" ended, and the country resumed the college entrance examination system. In 1978, the enrollment system of the institute was reopened. In this year, Lu Zhiji obtained a master’s degree in Chinese Department of Fudan University with "equivalent academic ability". In 1978, I was just 30 years old, which was an important turning point in my life. Five years later, Lu Zhiji went to the University of Illinois in the United States to study for a doctorate in language.

        "When I was sitting on a plane to the United States and saw the vast ocean from the window, I remembered the words of the old fortune teller. His prediction more than ten years ago was actually realized, which was incredible. How did he calculate it? From this time on, my curiosity about China’s traditional numerology rose in my heart. "After Lu Zhiji went to the United States, he began to study numerology. In 2008, Lu Zhiji completed and was published by Shanghai People’s Publishing House, which completely reviewed the development history of China’s numerology.

Book Seal of Lu Zhiji’s History of China’s Numerology

What is eight-character numerology?

        In ancient China, there were two main schools to study personal destiny through birth time: eight-character numerology and "Ziwei Doushu" fortune-telling technique. The origin of the divination is often related to ancient astronomy, or to ancient astrology. In ancient times, whether in China or in the West, astrology and astronomy were often difficult to distinguish. However, eight-character numerology is not astrology, and Lu Zhiji defined it as a calculation system based on the natural ecological model with Yin-Yang and Five Elements as the core formed in ancient China.

        The ancients used heavenly stems and earthly branches to mark time. Tiangan and Dizhi are referred to as "Ganzhi" for short. According to legend, it was founded by Da Nao’s family in the Yellow Emperor’s era. In Xiao Ji’s "The Five Elements of Righteousness: On the Name of Ganzhi" in the Sui Dynasty, it was recorded that "those who support Ganzhi are established because of the five elements. At the time of Xuanyuan in the past, it was created by Da Nao. " The ancients first used the ten days of "A, B, C, D, E, Ji, G, Xin, Ren and Gui" to mark the day; Use the twelve branches of "Zi, Ugliness, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu and Hai" to record the moon. The ancients used the method of matching a heavenly stem and a earthly branch in order to record the date, which is the "dry branch discipline method". Since the least common multiple of the ten-day stem and the twelve-day branch is 60, according to the combination cycle, there are 60 stem-branch combinations from Jiazi to Guihai, which is commonly known as "Sixty-one Jiazi".

        The year, month, day and hour of a person’s birth can be arranged into eight characters according to the discipline of cadres and branches, and the eight characters are also called "four pillars". The so-called "four pillars" take heavenly stems and earthly branches, the year of a person’s birth, as the first pillar, heavenly stems and earthly branches in the month as the second pillar, heavenly stems and earthly branches in the day as the third pillar and heavenly stems and earthly branches in the hour as the fourth pillar. Therefore, China’s traditional numerology calls the method of calculating a person’s life’s fate "Pai birthdates" or "Pai Si Zhu".

        The eight characters are arranged at 7: 00 pm on February 18 this year. This specific time period is: B Wei, E Yin, B Ugly, and C Xu. "If at this time, a newborn was born. When he heard his first cry, his birthdates was: B Wei, E Yin, B Ugly, C Xu. These eight words are the marks of the baby’s birth time. Any time in China tradition (called’ time’ in ancient times) can be expressed by such a combination of heaven and earth, and there is no mysterious color here. " Lu Zhiji said.

        In the field of traditional numerology in China, the "eight characters" in a person’s birth period marked the changing state of the universe at that time, while the ancients believed that everything had natural laws such as "punishment, rushing, merging, transforming" and "five elements interacting with each other". The so-called good or bad fate refers to the interaction between these eight characters, and from this, people’s life can be calculated.

Wuxing shengketu

Where is the basis for the eight-character deduction of fate?

        "It is necessary to talk about the concepts of Qi, Yin and Yang, and Five Elements, which is a unique way of thinking for ancient people in China to understand the world. In the eyes of the ancients in China,’ Qi’ is a subtle substance, which fills the boundless space. It has two states: being and being. The so-called "gas accumulation leads to formation, and gas dispersion leads to death" means that the concrete objects we can see and touch are the relatively stable condensed state of "gas"; The physical object is destroyed and can’t be seen, that is, its’ tangible’ quality has returned to the’ intangible’ gas. In modern terms,’ Qi’ is a kind of hidden energy and the material source of everything in the world. Although we don’t know its specific structure yet, didn’t the atomic theory of ancient Greek philosophers be confirmed after two thousand years? " Lu Zhiji said.

        The root of the change of qi in heaven and earth comes from the power of yin and yang. Lu Zhiji said that the original meaning of "yin and yang" is very simple: "Yang" facing the sun and "Yin" facing away from the sun. "In fact, here has implied the relative relationship between the sun and the earth. Without sun movement, there would be no yin and yang. Without the movement of the sun, there is no way to talk about yin and yang. "

Taiji diagram representing yin and yang

        The interaction of yin and yang produces "five elements"-gold, wood, water, fire and earth. At first, the five elements refer to five indispensable material resources in people’s lives, and later they evolved into the internal attributes and motion states of the five materials. "With the concept of Yin-Yang and Five Elements, the movement of" Qi "is concrete, showing a periodic change movement, which was described by heavenly stems and earthly branches in ancient times. For example: A is a male wood and B is a female wood; C is yang fire, D is yin fire, and so on. The state of Yin and Yang and five elements in each time period can be described by a group of stem and branch structures (eight characters). For example, the New Year’s Eve in this time period: B Wei, E Yin, B Ugly, C Xu, roughly speaking, is composed of two yin trees (B), one yang fire (C) and two yang earth. Therefore,’ fortune telling’ actually begins with calculating the gas field when an individual is born. "

Eight-character numerology forms a vein

        "The traditional numerology, which calculates one’s destiny by the time of birth, began to take shape in the Three Kingdoms period," Lu Zhiji introduced.

        At present, Guan Lu, a warlock of Cao Wei in the Three Kingdoms period, is the earliest record about the theory of fate that can be seen from ancient books and documents. "The History of the Three Kingdoms, Wei Shu" recorded his comments on his own destiny: "I have life’s core monuments in Yin, and I will be born at night with an eclipse of the moon. God bless the constant, you can’t violate it, but people don’t know it. Before and after my death, there were more than 100 people, and there was nothing wrong with it … I died in February next year, at the age of 48. "

        Guan Lu wrote "life’s core monuments is in Yin", which means that he was born in the 15th year of Jian ‘an (209). He calculated his own time limit and predicted the death of more than 100 people, which is basically right. Guan Lu died in 256 at the age of 48.

        The ancient people’s exploration of numerology was not slow. According to the biography of Dai Yang in the Book of Jin, Dai Yang saw Liu Yin, who was guarding Xunyang at that time, and told him not to see guests on Gengyin Day on December 22nd. He also told Liu Yin to take precautions, but Liu Yin didn’t take it seriously and was really killed by Guo Mo on that day. "We can already see the traces of inferring by using the animal year, the fleeting time and the relationship between the cadres and the branches of the days. Cha Liuyin was killed in the fifth year of Xianhe in the Eastern Jin Dynasty (220 years), and it was only more than 70 years since Guan Lu decided his life," Lu Zhiji said.

        Lu Zhiji believes that in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, people have reached a consensus on the concept of destiny. "A large number of historical materials have been recorded, such as the’ Change of River and Yin’ in the Northern Dynasties." "Northern History Sun Shaochuan" records that Sun Shaoshan, who lives in a high position, pushes Lu’s life. One day I went to the early dynasty, but the east gate was not open, and the ministers waited in front of the door. Among many officials, Sun Shao pulled Xin Xiong, a doctor in the official department, aside and secretly told him: "All the people here are looking for death, but I and Qing still enjoy wealth" (everyone here will die, and only you and I can survive and enjoy wealth). Not long after, Hu Taihou of the Northern Wei Dynasty killed Emperor Xiaoming and gave birth to his youngest son, Yuan Zhao. Erzhurong, chieftain of Chihu tribe, used this as a reason to advance eastward, and Luoyang Shoujiang surrendered without fighting. Er Zhurong drowned Hu Taihou and his young emperor in Heyin (present-day Henan) and strangled more than 2,000 officials in the palace of the Northern Wei Dynasty, which is called "the change of Heyin" in history.

        During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, there were also some numerology works. In Song Lian’s Debate on Lu Ming in the Ming Dynasty, it was pointed out: "Lin Xiaogong has Lu Ming Shu and Tao Hongjing has A Copy of Three Lives". "Tao Hongjing was a man between Qi and Liang in the Southern Dynasties, and Lin Xiaogong was circulated in the History of the North and Sui Shu. Both of them were proficient in Yin and Yang and the Five Elements, but it’s a pity that these two books have long been lost. Due to the lack of literature, although we can be sure that in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, there were activities of discussing fate in the sense of obedience, it is difficult to investigate what specific methods were used, "Lu Zhiji said.

        During the Sui Dynasty, an important figure appeared in the history of numerology, that is, Xiao Ji, the founder of the Sui Dynasty, was born in the imperial clan of Qi and Liang Dynasties. After four dynasties and fifteen emperors, Xiao Ji was knowledgeable and knowledgeable, especially in yin and yang arithmetic. Xiao Ji’s main contribution lies in his book "Five Elements of Justice", which brings together the classics from pre-Qin to Sui Dynasty, Wei Shu and the ancient books of various schools of thought about the five elements theory and becomes an important document for future generations to understand and study the ancient five elements theory.

        It was in the middle Tang Dynasty that numerology really formed a "model" and entered a new stage. Li Xuzhong is regarded as the first master in the field of numerology. In the first year of Li Xuzhong Tang Dezong, he was a scholar, and later an official went to the temple to advise the history. The epitaph written by Han Yu, a literary giant in the Tang Dynasty, for Li Xuzhong records that "(Virtual Middle School) is young and long, likes learning, and learning is all-pervasive. Deepest than the five-line book. Based on the year, month and day of a person’s life ….. pushing people to be premature, expensive and unfavorable, and never losing one or two. " It can be seen that Li Xuzhong is good at numerology deduction, and his name is heavy for a while.

        "Li Xuzhong’s important contribution is that he created the first theoretical model of numerology. Because of this contribution, later generations regarded him as the originator of traditional numerology. Li Xuzhong’s Book of Destiny defines a basic framework for determining fate, and determines that the starting point for determining fate is based on years, and introduces the concepts of the fifth column’ fetal element’, Nayin Wuxing, Shensha, etc., in addition, it includes’ luck’, which can be divided into Universiade, Small Luck, Starting Luck, and Tai-sui fleeting time. I call this model’ the ancient method model’, which is different from the present one.

        "At the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, the new numerology model began to show its outstanding head. In the early Ming Dynasty, it was the time when the ancient law model alternated with the new theory of life model in the later period. By the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the present law model had been formed and occupied the leading position in numerology, "Lu Zhiji introduced.

        Eight-character numerology is also commonly known as "Zi Ping Shu" or "Zi Ping Numerology", which is named after another extremely important figure in the history of numerology-Xu Ziping. When and where Xu Ziping came from is still controversial. It is said that Xu Ziping once lived in seclusion in Huashan with Chen Tuan, a famous Taoist figure. "Through the textual research of historical materials, this kind of rumor may not necessarily conform to the facts. At present, it may be judged that he is a person of the Five Dynasties and the Early Song Dynasty. Xu Ziping’s contribution lies in the creation of a new model framework for numerology analysis, which I called’ Modern Law Model’ in China’s History of Numerology, and the basic framework of this model has been applied to today.

        Li Xuzhong’s ancient law model, including the column of "fetal element", is actually a five-column theory of fate. Xu Ziping canceled this column and began to focus on the daily stem. The point of analysis was moved from the original annual column to the word "the daily stem", and a set of analysis programs was established based on this.

        Lu Zhiji believes that this change from Nianzhu to Rizhu is also a projection of the realistic situation of historical evolution: "Since the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the China regime has been almost controlled by the aristocratic family, and the aristocratic family has a superior position in all aspects. The so-called’ top-grade cold family, inferior aristocratic family’ is such a portrayal, and personal background is of decisive significance. In numerology,’ Nianzhu’ stands for family origin. This reality is reflected in early numerology, and it is naturally based on’ Nianzhu’. After the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the gate valve was gradually destroyed, and the imperial examination system made it possible for civilians to enter the official career. Xu Ziping’s modern law model shifted the core of life to the’ Japanese column’ representing personal situation. "

Is the trajectory of life established?

        "Eight-character numerology, in the final analysis, is to find and reveal the corresponding relationship between birth time, life potential and life trajectory of the birth person", Lu Zhiji emphasized: "We should pay attention to an important basic understanding: this corresponding relationship is not decisive, but only a probabilistic correlation, which is the result of a lot of observation, experience and statistics. There are many factors that affect a person’s growth and development, both innate and acquired. A person’s life course is closely related to his acquired environment: family, education, social politics and economic system. "

        Lu Zhiji made an analogy with a moving car: Life seems to be a new car, and its specific performance and structure have been determined when it leaves the factory. For the individual’s "life", there is also "luck". "Yun" is the road the car will travel. The car running on the road is the interaction between fate and luck. In the eyes of the ancients, it is the interaction between fate and luck, showing a colorful trajectory of life ups and downs.

        "Eight-character numerology is developed into a system to describe this correspondence under the thinking mode of the ancient theory of Yin-Yang and Five Elements, and there is no mystery. If this correspondence is exaggerated as a decisive relationship, it will lead to a fatalistic view, but it will lead numerology astray. Therefore, it is expected that the prediction of numerology will be accurate, which is either a commercial banner to set up a fortune teller to attract business, or an idiot’s dream. "Lu Zhiji said that the ancients in China were not so superstitious.

        Wang Chong in the Eastern Han Dynasty wrote in "On the Balance of Life and Righteousness": "Song, Wei, Chen and Zheng suffered disasters on the same day, and the people of the four countries will have people who have prospered but have not declined. However, all disasters will bring disaster to the country. The life of the country is better than life, and life expectancy is better than life. " That is to say, the four countries of Song, Wei, Chen and Zheng suffered disasters on the same day. Are all the people of the four countries in bad luck? Obviously impossible, when the national destiny that dominates the big environment comes into play, the rise and fall of personal destiny is completely meaningless.

        There are many people born at the same time in the same year, the same month and the same day in the world. Are their fates exactly the same? This is the most common question people have about horoscope fortune telling. Lu Zhiji said that Wan Mingying, the author of the Ming Dynasty numerology masterpiece "Three Fates Meeting", answered this question. "There are indeed differences. Wan Mingying collected a large number of life cases born at the same time for comparison. For example, officials born at the same time not only have different official positions, but also have different time and way of death."

        "So Liang Xiangrun, a modern numerologist, wrote in A Brief History of Life that numerology only has a probability of 60% to 70%." Lu Zhiji said: "The space-time structure of human birth is related to life information, which is a great hypothesis of Chinese ancestors. The rational exploration of numerology in the past two thousand years is essentially an empirical study of this hypothesis. Traditional numerology has existed in folk culture for a long time, and it lacks systematic arrangement. In the process of development, it is inevitable to mix with some mysterious veil of superstition and deception methods of charlatans. Because of this, it is very important to reorganize the spiritual blood of our own ancient culture. "

  Many catering enterprises in Guangzhou deny the use of prefabricated dishes.

  Green tea Guangzhou store said that if prefabricated dishes are used, they will be marked.

  General administration of market supervision

  Expect catering businesses to publicize the use of prefabricated dishes.

  If catering enterprises use prefabricated dishes, do they have to make it clear to consumers?

  On the evening of March 21st, the State Administration of Market Supervision, the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, the Ministry of Commerce, and the National Health and Wellness Commission jointly issued the Notice on Strengthening the Safety Supervision of Prepared Vegetables to Promote the High-quality Development of the Industry (hereinafter referred to as the Notice).

  According to WeChat official account, the official of "City Talk", the person in charge of the relevant departments of the General Administration of Market Supervision said that promoting the use of prepared dishes in catering is an important measure to protect consumers’ right to know and choose, and to respond to social concerns. At present, consumers are generally concerned about the use of prefabricated dishes in catering, and expect catering businesses to publicize the use of prefabricated dishes.

  After the release of the Notice of the six departments,

  Pre-cooked dish concept stocks opened actively.

  The development challenges of the prefabricated vegetable industry include

  People are worried about adding preservatives to prefabricated vegetables.

  Looking back on 2023, the development of the prefabricated vegetable industry was accompanied by controversy. In February 2023, "Opinions of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council on Doing a Good Job in Promoting Rural Revitalization in 2023" was released, which clearly stated that "cultivating and developing prefabricated dishes."

  Under the background of the country’s strong support for the prefabricated vegetable industry, some consumers are worried about the safety of prefabricated vegetables. In September last year, Nandu reported that on social platforms, many parents explicitly opposed the introduction of prepared dishes into the campus. Some parents would send meals to their children at noon, saying that "a prepared dish doesn’t want children to eat", and some parents wondered, what is a prepared dish?

  In November of the same year, Ma Yun was introduced into the field of prefabricated vegetables after the storm of prefabricated vegetables entering the campus. Although Chen Wei, a former assistant of Ma Yun, denied the rumor, on the day of the news, the concept plate of A-share prefabricated vegetables ushered in a sharp rise, which proved that the prefabricated vegetable industry had attracted much attention in the capital market.

  For this reason, on March 21, six departments issued the Notice. Among them, the person in charge of the relevant departments of the General Administration of Market Supervision pointed out that the challenges faced by the prefabricated vegetable industry include people’s worries about adding preservatives to prefabricated vegetables and inconsistent standards.

  How to make consumers eat healthily and feel at ease? The person in charge said that it is more in line with consumers’ expectations to stipulate that no preservatives are added to prefabricated dishes. At the same time, it is necessary to promote the use of prefabricated dishes in catering to protect consumers’ right to know and choose.

  Merchants need to answer truthfully.

  Consumer inquiries about goods

  Li Xiaoyi, head of the e-commerce legal department of Shanghai Landy (Guangzhou) Law Firm, told Nandu Bay Finance Society that whether restaurants should voluntarily disclose whether they use pre-cooked dishes is related to consumers’ right to know and choose.

  Li Xiaoyi said that the provisions of the existing laws on consumers’ right to know and choose are mainly in the Consumer Protection Law and the Implementation Regulations. The provisions on the right to know in the Consumer Protection Law generally stipulate that consumers have the right to know the real situation of the goods they buy and use, and may require operators to provide information related to the service content. According to this article, it can be seen that the law is not detailed enough to stipulate whether merchants must disclose whether they use prepared dishes, but it requires merchants to truthfully answer consumers’ inquiries about the contents of goods or services. In other words, if the consumer explicitly asks whether the dishes made by the merchant are pre-cooked, the merchant needs to give a true and clear reply, otherwise it will be suspected of infringing on the consumer’s right to know, choice and even false propaganda.

  Li Xiaoyi said that Article 9 of the Regulations on the Implementation of the Law on the Protection of Consumer Rights and Interests, which was recently promulgated but implemented on July 1, 2024, also made it clear that operators should provide consumers with real and comprehensive information about goods or services in an easy-to-understand way. More about whether the catering industry needs to disclose specific services, we should look back at the current industry standards or norms. "In this case, if consumers care about this issue, they can ask the merchants in advance before consumption, take the initiative to understand the dishes and make a choice."

  Cheng Gang, Secretary-General of Guangdong Catering Service Industry Association, told Nandu Wancaishe that at present, this is not a mandatory requirement, and some catering enterprises are also confused about how to inform them. Next, the relevant state departments should also make specific explanations on this piece. "I think the Notice has its progress, but I think it is far from being mandatory now. Now we are in a transitional period and exploratory period, and we need to reach a consensus before we can have further requirements for enterprises at the legal level. "

  The definition of prefabricated dishes still needs further popular science education.

  The standard system of prefabricated vegetables should be further improved.

  The Notice mentioned that "prepared dishes are also called prepared dishes". Cheng Gang said that this definition was first put forward by Guangdong, focusing on the word "dish". Prepared dishes are both a dish and a delicacy. The reporter of Nandu Bay Finance Society noticed that in addition to the clear definition of prefabricated dishes, the Notice also excluded staple foods and dishes made by the central kitchen from the scope of prefabricated dishes by way of examples, such as quick-frozen noodle rice food, convenience food, box lunch, and mixed rice.

  Cheng Gang said that the "Notice" puts more emphasis on the content of "what is not a prepared dish". According to the standard, what businesses are encouraged to express is actually the packaged prefabricated vegetables produced by SC factory, while the central kitchen processing of catering enterprises is actually called pre-processing. "SC factory and central kitchen are two different types of production units. The former can be simply understood as a food processing enterprise, which can be oriented to C-end, with retail channels and circulation, but the latter belongs to internal circulation without external channels, that is to say, the central kitchen can only be circulated to subordinate stores of catering enterprises. The central kitchen has two large branches, social catering and group catering. "

  However, if the central kitchen uses prefabricated dishes, how should this be defined? If catering enterprises use prefabricated dishes and carry out secondary processing, is it still a prefabricated dish? Or maybe the prefabricated dishes just play the role of an auxiliary material. How should the corresponding dishes be classified? Regarding the above-mentioned problems, Cheng Gang said that the promulgation of the Notice is very timely, but it is also necessary to continue to optimize the definition of the prepared dish system, and then it should be further clarified.

  "In the industry, the distribution of chain restaurants is actually in the form of internal circulation. In fact, this has existed for a long time and is the normal operation mode for catering enterprises to ensure food safety and the stability of production technology standards." Cheng Gang said that in his view, in fact, many catering enterprises do not use prefabricated dishes, but the popular science about the definition of prefabricated dishes is not well popularized, and merchants have no clear concept about it.

  Cheng Gang said that the promulgation of the "Notice" is definitely beneficial to the long-term development of the pre-cooked dish industry, because it will exclude some enterprises that are not in the category of pre-cooked dishes. He believes that it is necessary to further carry out special research, formulate a more scientific and accurate standard system, and draw a reasonable line between prefabricated dishes and on-site cooking when such packaged foods at the C end are applied in catering.

  Cheng Gang emphasized that the initial intention of developing the pre-cooked vegetable industry is to solve the problem of extending the space-time radius of agricultural products, extend their life cycle, expand their sales radius, and even help rural revitalization. "Before, parents were worried about the insecurity of prefabricated dishes, but we stressed that prefabricated dishes were produced in accordance with the food safety standards of the food industry for production enterprises, and the standards were higher than those of the catering industry, so I think prefabricated dishes are safer. For example, the incident of withholding meat from plum vegetables at the 3.15 party was actually the fault of some manufacturers, so we cannot deny the prefabricated vegetable industry. "

Countdown Love You: A two-way fantasy romance, and Chen Feiyu Week also fights against fate.

 Countdown Love You doesn’t have the complicated setting of "crossing through" and "parallel time and space" and the narrative structure of "Mobius ring" like I want to see you, and it doesn’t have the sad tears like The Story More Sad than Sadness, but it arouses the emotional resonance of the audience through the fantasy love story of a couple crossing in two directions.

The reason why these three films are compared is that they have a common name behind the scenes: Lin Xiaoqian. As a post-80s director of Taiwan, China who is good at directing romantic films, The Story More Sad than Sadness directed by Lin Xiaoqian and I Want to See You, both of which have achieved good box office results in China in recent years.

Countdown Love You, as a heavy romantic film in May 1st this year, also attracts people’s attention. In the film, Chen Feiyu and Zhou also played the roles of hero and heroine who made unremitting efforts and sacrifices to fight against fate and save their lovers, which was touching. This pair of first-time screen couples CP also won the audience’s affirmation.

In Chinese and foreign film and television works, the characters’ identity dislocation is caused by the hero and heroine traveling back to the past, which leads to strong drama conflict and emotional memory, and it is not uncommon to create jokes, tears or suspense colors.

For the time being, only in recent years, there are representative works such as Riding the Wind and Waves, goodbye mr. loser, Hi, Mom, Hello, Brother, I Want to See You, all of which are high-grossing films, which shows the audience’s love for this kind of films.

Countdown Love You tells the story that Gu Yuxuan, the hero played by Chen Feiyu, and Han Shuyan, the heroine played by Zhou Ye, are childhood friends. After many years of reunion, they fell in love with each other and fell in love with each other. Unexpectedly, in the face of fate, they traveled back to the past in an attempt to save each other’s lives.

The biggest difference between this film and most previous time-travel movies is the setting of two-way travel. It is no longer a unilateral crossing of the hero or heroine, but a two-way crossing. The time to travel back to the past is not long from the present, and it is impossible to cause the dislocation of the identity of the characters, but the sense of powerlessness that is difficult to change the fate of the lover is even stronger.

Time-travel films usually have an event or prop that triggers back time. Hi, Mom and Braving the Wind and Waves were both triggered by car accidents. goodbye mr. loser is a dream that Charlotte had on the toilet after drinking, and the crossing prop of Hello, Brother is a special ring. Countdown Love You is a birthday candle left by my mother to the hero Gu Yuxuan.

This kind of crossing props is unique and meaningful. Candle is not only the love left by Gu Yuxuan by his dead mother, but also represents Gu Yuxuan’s desperate love to save his girlfriend, which means love and dedication. It is called "and the silk-worms of spring will weave until they die, and every night the candles will weep their wicks away".

Not only that, the careful audience will also find that all the scenes about time passing through the cycle in the film have the image of candles. Whether it is the candle on the dining table or the candle pattern on the carpet, it is naturally integrated into the narrative picture.

The fantasy setting of the hero and heroine’s two-way crossing enhances the appreciation of Countdown Love You, but the most touching and emotional resonance of the film lies in the unremitting efforts and sacrifices of the hero Gu Yuxuan and the heroine Han Shuyan to fight their fate and save their lovers, and the double cherish of their love after crossing back to the past.

In the film, the mysterious grandfather who lives in a strange hut in a maze of concrete columns tells Gu Yuxuan that some things are predestined and hard to change. Sure enough, shortly afterwards, Han Shuyan had an accident on her way back after quarreling with Gu Yuxuan.

In order to save his girlfriend and fight his fate, Gu Yuxuan crossed back to the morning of the accident with the help of birthday candles left by his mother, so that everything could start all over again. But after several attempts, no matter how hard he tried, tragedy was inevitable. In the end, he spared no effort to protect his girlfriend with his life, and finally changed his girlfriend’s fate.

After being rescued, Han Shuyan learned from Gu Yuxuan’s friends that her boyfriend had traveled back to the past several times to save her. After she calmed down, she began to think of ways to travel back to before they met. She risked her life in the home where Gu Yuxuan lived as a child and found a birthday candle that could trigger crossing …

Can Han Shuyan finally save Gu Yuxuan? If it can be saved, what kind of huge price will she pay for it? You will know after watching the film.

In the process of crossing back to the past to save each other, the strong love that the couple showed for each other at all costs was the most touching love. Among them, after several efforts to understand that it is difficult to save his girlfriend, the scene of Gu Yuxuan proposing to her romantically in advance can arouse emotional resonance.

In real life, many people will not only try their best to treat their loved ones, lovers or friends who are terminally ill and have little time, but also cherish the present time. The experience of Gu Yuxuan in the film is empathetic.

Although the main stars of Countdown Love You are all young actors, both their image temperament and acting skills are in line with the role. Chen Feiyu and Zhou, the two leading stars, are also the first screen lovers to play together, but they have no sense of disobedience.

Chen Feiyu’s tall and handsome appearance and clear and firm eyes will make people feel good, and he also believes that Gu Yuxuan, who he plays, can protect his beloved girlfriend to the death. In the film, he said, "You like blind box dolls, so I became a designer. I like sweets, so you became a cake maker. It’s impressive.

In Better Days, Zhou also played the villain Wei Lai, a bad girl who bullied her classmates. With her excellent performance, she was not only deeply remembered by many audiences, but also won the Golden Rooster Award and the Hundred Flowers Award nomination for best supporting actress.

This time, she plays the heroine Han Shuyan in Countdown Love You. She is a pure and kind-hearted beautiful girl. At first, she was worried about whether she could get out of the preconceived impression left by Wei Lai. After reading it, I found that Zhou was also fully qualified for the role, especially the crying scene in the film, which showed her good acting skills.

In addition, Xiaotang Zhao’s female No.2 online celebrity Li Yu and Sun Tianyu’s male No.2 Jiang Taiqi also left a deep impression. They experienced the emotional drama of marriage, breakup and reconciliation, which just complemented Gu Yuxuan’s love with Han Shuyan.

Countdown Love You, with fantasy as the shell, love as the core and fate as the connotation, is romantic and grounded, but dreamy and real, and it is a good fantasy love commercial film.
