Who killed thousands of restaurants?

"I have eaten an old shop for decades, and I will close it when I say it." 

"The food and beverage outlets in the whole street changed from batch to batch. When the tea shop fell down, it changed snacks. The snack bar was not opened for two months and was replaced by a fast food restaurant. " 

"I used to face the problem of earning more or less, but now I have to face the choice of survival and disappearance. Keep driving, just like a bottomless pit. " 

When the whole catering market ushered in a weak recovery, the public’s eyes focused on the head brands of each track, paying attention to every move of chain catering enterprises and opening and closing stores, few people would notice that a large number of small catering shops were struggling to survive. 

"There were many big stores in the first two years, and more small stores fell this year." Many catering people who go deep into the market sighed with emotion. 

Enterprise survey data shows that there are currently over 18 million catering-related enterprises in China, of which individual industrial and commercial households account for more than 95%.

Countless food and beverage shops, all over the streets, grow naturally, forming the capillaries of China’s food and beverage economy. They make the fireworks in the city endless, but they rarely become business legends. Especially in an uncertain environment, more restaurants often disappear silently. 

Who killed these restaurants? 

The soaring cost and backward business model have accelerated the exit of street shops. 

"At first, the rent of the store was 400,000 years, and the fried bun sold for 60 cents. Later, the rent rose to 600,000 years, and the corresponding fried bun could only increase in price, rising to 1 yuan. Later, the rent soared directly to 1.2 million years. I can’t eat it, I can only move away! " 

In the center of Hangzhou, a fried-dumpling shop had to move out of the bustling commercial area and move to the vegetable market to survive because it could not bear the pressure of rising rents. 

Time pushed forward again. In July, the owner of a restaurant collapsed in the middle of the night, smashing all the tables, chairs, pots and pans in the store and throwing them into the middle of the road. "I quit! I want to close the door! " 

The reason why the store owner lost control in the middle of the night is because the business in the store has been very poor, and the operating income is difficult to pay even the rent. 

Previously, Ahua, who once opened a noodle restaurant in Guangzhou, also bluntly said when communicating with Hongcan.com, "It’s really hard to do. If you have a single order, you can’t do it. The cost of inviting people is too high and it’s not worthwhile. You have been losing money all the time, and finally stop loss in time and choose to close the store!" 

The experience of these small shop owners is actually a true portrayal of thousands of small catering owners in Qian Qian at the bottom. 

The cost of ingredients, rent, manpower, etc. is rising year by year. In the era of high cost, many small shops are suffering, and they will close down when they endure.

Once, street shops were representatives of longevity. No matter how the situation changed, they always seemed to stand, and many brand restaurants could not do it. 

The reasons are nothing more than these: street shops are basically husband and wife shops without chefs; The shop front is not big, and the rent is relatively low; Mainly engaged in all kinds of snacks, fast food, affordable, wide audience …

To sum up, these small shop owners save labor by working for themselves, and at the same time, they can keep the cost of rent low, thus gaining a certain profit margin. 

Nowadays, the catering consumption environment and consumer groups have undergone earth-shaking changes, but many small shops still remain in the original extensive state, adhere to the past business ideas, do not understand brands, do not upgrade stores, do not understand online operations, and even hygiene and experience have not improved. 

All kinds of practices that run counter to the general trend of the market, coupled with rising rents, ingredients, manpower and other high costs, have accelerated the exit of small shops.  

Can’t escape, can’t fight, can’t afford to spend, and the store has become cannon fodder under the crushing of chain brands.

"I have tasted the sweetness of a cup of milk tea in 9.9 yuan, and now consumers don’t even want to spend a cup in 15 yuan. Can you survive this stage?" Xiaoyu was full of helplessness when talking about his own tea shop. 

Xiaoyu’s shop has been in business for more than 4 years, with a good location, close to the commercial pedestrian street and a commercial and residential area nearby. "At the beginning, there was only my shop nearby, and the business was not bad. Even during the mask period, there were regular customers, and I felt that there was still hope." 

What Xiaoyu didn’t expect was that the mask period was over, but business became more and more difficult. 

"There are several tea shops nearby, including self-created brands and well-known chain brands. Today, this one will play 9.9 yuan/Cup, and tomorrow another one will directly play 16 yuan /2 Cup. Why do customers choose you? The price is not cheap, and the products are not unique. Other brands don’t say that they are absolutely good, but they will not be worse than you. People are more frequent than you. " 

Xiaoyu admits that compared with several chain brands nearby, his own store seems to have no advantage.

When asked why he didn’t consider joining a chain brand and reinventing the store, Xiaoyu said bluntly: "I can’t afford to join. If a chain brand is so easy to join, then everyone will enjoy tea, ancient tea, tea and honey snow, right?" 

Today, although Xiaoyu’s stores are still in operation, they offset all the costs and expenses every month, with little income. "People still have to be tied up every day. I don’t think it makes sense. Plus, it has entered the winter, and now it is the off-season of tea. I just hope that I can quickly change hands." 

Not long ago, Lao Wang, who opened a breakfast shop in Beijing, also chose to close his own shop. "Master Xi has porridge that 3 yuan drinks infinitely, and Nanchengxiang’s handmade deep-fried dough sticks or braised eggs are sold in 2.8 yuan. I have a cake of 5 yuan and a bean curd brain 4 yuan. How can I compare with others?" 

△ Restaurants waiting for subletting, taken by Red Meal Network.

From the story of Xiaoyu and Lao Wang, it is not difficult to see that individual shops are sensitive and helpless to price competition. 

Since the beginning of this year, in order to get customers to survive, large and small stores in the catering market have opened "roll" prices, and low-price competition is prevalent. At the same time, a number of chain brands with large volume are also constantly lowering their posture and lowering their prices. 

A restaurant brand owner complained to Hongcan. com: "Although the promotion was made, the sales volume went up, and the revenue data brought by it was also very gratifying, but the profit was actually very poor. Everyone doesn’t want to do this, but what can we do? The attitude now is to squat first and wait until it is over. " 

In this wave of low prices, the days of single stores and small stores are generally more difficult. Chain brands have more bargaining power in the upstream through the advantage of store size, and there is still room for profit after price reduction. However, countless catering shops are small businesses with meager profits, and price reduction often means losses. 

As Lao Wang said: "Under the price of the chain giants and the scale of crushing, small shops can’t beat it, and they can’t hide it, and they can’t afford it." 

The success rate of Xiaobai’s business is getting lower and lower.

"Last December, I took out my house to guarantee, borrowed some money, and opened a sugar shop. As a result, it has been tepid since it opened on April 30 this year. From the original four shop assistants, it was reduced to only me. It is really too difficult to support it in the store! Suffering from not having much experience and financial support, the store is on the verge of bankruptcy. The only thing that can be done now is to quickly transfer the store out. " 

In November, Zhou Duoyu shared it on social platforms. When Red Dining.com contacted him and asked about the current development status of the sugar shop, Zhou Duoyu admitted that it had been transferred. "It is better to be able to return to the original point than to lose money all the time." 

△ Store map shared by respondents on social platforms, and Red Meal Network is authorized to use. 

Analyzing the failed entrepreneurial experience, Zhou Duoyu attributed the main reason to the lack of experience and financial support. 

For example, at the time of site selection, in order to save some money, I randomly selected a location and opened the store in the innermost position near the snack street. The area of the store is quite large, but after opening it, it was discovered that it was useless to have a big store, and more people were needed. "People who go shopping generally can’t visit here." 

For example, in the early stage of investment, the capital reserve was not planned reasonably. "In the early stage, when it was not clear whether the product sold well or not, every raw material would be purchased, which led to an increase in cost. At present, there are still a lot of materials purchased on the shelves at the time of opening, all of which are money that has been smashed in. " 

Similar to Zhou Duoyu, Li Xiao is also a small white entrepreneur. He joined a brand and opened a lemon tea shop. In the early stage, he invested 100,000 yuan in store decoration and equipment, and spent another 50,000 yuan on joining fees and deposits. There are also promotion, labor and rent for daily operations. In the end, this small shop only lasted for six months before and after. 

"I used to work in the Internet industry, and I thought I knew all about online drainage, private domain marketing, etc. Applying this style of play to a tea shop is not a small test. I neglected that the essence of catering is the service industry, and the business of being a human being is completely different from facing a bunch of cold numbers and procedures. " Li Xiao said. 

△ Stores closed on the street, taken by Red Meal Network

Although these frustrated restaurants have different "appearances", they have many similar problems and dilemmas. For example, entrepreneurs are mostly white and lack a deep understanding of the catering business. 

Small white dry catering, most of the time, follows the trend. For example, when new tea is on fire, a tea shop will be opened. With the rise of new Chinese baking, baking shops will be opened; It is said that sugar water shops make money, so they join a sugar water shop. Seeing only the shops with prosperous business in the market, I feel that it is easy to make money and fall into the fantasy of novices. 

As everyone knows, the catering market has already entered the era of stock competition from incremental development, and the supply of each subdivision track exceeds demand. It is easy for novices to break through. Nowadays, the chances of success in grassroots entrepreneurship are getting lower and lower. Xiaobai’s restaurant is mostly a narrow escape. 

With the acceleration of urbanization, a large number of small shops have been demolished, rectified and cleared out of the market.

"There are more shopping malls, and the streets are clean and tidy, but the shops on the streets are like carved in a mold. Those delicious foods that have been remembered can no longer be found. In the past, everyone said’ what you miss, what you eat’, but now there is still a taste of nostalgia. " After four years of college in Xi ‘an, I couldn’t help feeling when I passed through Xi ‘an recently. 

In reality, with the acceleration of urbanization, many old streets and villages in the city have been demolished and rebuilt all over the country. As soon as it was demolished and built, many small shops disappeared silently. 

△ The whole row of closed stores in the village in the city, taken by Red Meal Network 

"The streets that have passed by countless times are full of bars, cafes and restaurants. The excitement is full of fireworks, but I don’t know when, suddenly there are more demolition enclosures, and overnight, the whole road is empty." Some netizens said with emotion. 

Take Shanghai as an example, there are not a few cases in which old shops and small shops disappear due to the street reconstruction of Yuyuan Road, Fuxing Road, Yongkang Road, Dagu Road and Guyang Road. 

In 2016, a street in Yongkang Road Bar disappeared; In March of this year, a group of alleys at the entrance of Yongkang Road in Shanghai were demolished. Many shopkeepers on Yongkang Road reported that their business was almost halved, and many shopkeepers chose to leave. 

Because of urban planning, there are usually several places for street shops that are forced to move: choose commercial squares to continue to open stores, rent high-priced formal facades nearby to continue to open stores (such as food streets), move to more remote places to open stores, or just close stores and leave. 

Entering shopping malls and renting high-priced formal facades all mean a sharp increase in operating costs, which is almost unbearable for most street shops. Even if they have the ability to bear the cost and survive, they are all faced with enormous operating pressure and their living conditions are worrying. 

In Huangpu village, Guangzhou, the owner of a teppanyaki shop told Hongcan. com that he had been setting up a stall in Huangpu ancient port before, and his business was ok, but later the street was demolished and rectified, and all the small vendors were cleared out. "If you want to operate later, you need to rent a unified stall on the roadside." 

△ Respondents for the picture 

The boss revealed that the rent for a stall of about 9 square meters was originally 4,800 yuan a month. "There is no passenger flow this year, and business is not good. There are fewer and fewer people renting stalls, and the landlord has reduced the rent to 3,000 yuan. But even so, you can’t make any money. The money earned is not enough to support the family. Now I am working on one side, and I will come back to run the stall business in the evening and weekend to earn a little money. " 

05 conclusion

In China, there are countless small restaurants, which are all over the streets and grow naturally. 

The operators of these small shops are hard-working. They get up early and get greedy for the dark, and use their hard work day after day to get a stable income and subsidize their families. At the same time, they are also warm, giving busy migrant workers in the city an idea of leaving early and returning late. 

They are doing a small business, and the products in the store are just like the price of Coca-Cola, which has hardly changed. Years, decades, even decades have passed. Coca-Cola is still there, Green Arrow is still there, and Qiaolezi is still there, but those familiar beef noodles, noodle shops, pancake stalls, fast food restaurants … have disappeared. 

But when a group falls, a new group will rise. 

Many small restaurants can’t become business legends, but they can promote the development of the whole catering industry. Small shops in big countries, we always believe that small restaurants will still have vitality different from chain restaurants in the future. 

The Farewell focused on social topics and cultural differences caused collisions.

1905 movie network news The popular film of the Oscar season has been released nationwide since the winter solstice on January 10. "Grandma has cancer. Do you want to tell her?" It has become the focus of the audience’s hot discussion. On December 25th, the film released a topic video with the theme of "My family is terminally ill, should I tell TA".

And this is not only a problem that the characters will encounter, but also a story with cultural characteristics. Since January 10th, when the Winter Solstice announced the rescheduling, the film The Farewell has aroused heated discussion among the media, film critics and ordinary netizens, and even some viewers who have seen the screening can’t wait to express their desire to "brush it again".

Family views are constantly colliding, and white lies all come from love.

The film The Farewell is based on the true story of director Wang Ziyi, telling the farewell story of Chinese families: Grandma has cancer, should I tell her? The latest topic video released by the film is "Grandma has advanced lung cancer, do you want to tell her?" At the beginning, different views of family members are thrown out one after another. Billie, the heroine played by Awkwafina, thinks that grandma should have the right to know. "Grandma has little time, but she should know her illness";

However, Billie’s parents, uncles, aunts, young aunts and other family members believe that "not telling her the truth is to share her ideological pressure". Starting from a topic of great social significance, the film is ostensibly telling lies. In fact, it is more about how to love your family in a respectful way and how to learn to say goodbye.

In fact, there is no right or wrong to tell or not to tell, as director Wang Ziyi said: I don’t have a clear answer, I don’t know what is right. What I do know is that this lie made my grandmother and I spend three months in China. It gave me all these experiences with my family that I wouldn’t normally have. "

Awkwafina, the leading actress, stood in the role of Billie at first, and then she gradually understood in the filming, "Because you don’t want her to bear this pressure alone, I understand every point now". In the final analysis, the point of a lie is love, and what the film hopes to convey is how to say goodbye to the people we love. In the sincere and touching emotional background, everyone may be able to find an answer about themselves.

The Farewell, the most eye-catching dark horse in the Oscar season, is highly anticipated once it is finalized.

The film The Farewell became the most remarkable dark horse in the Academy Awards season in North America. She not only won the double nominations of the 77th Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Language Film and Best Actress in Music/Comedy Film, but also won four nominations of Critics’ Choice Award and three nominations of Women Online Film Critics Association Award, and was selected as the top ten films of the American Film Institute in 2019. The media at home and abroad are optimistic that the film will make some gains in the Oscars. Director Ang Lee even listed Variety as his favorite movie in 2019 in the "Directors on Directors" activity specially planned by Variety.

On the evening of December 22nd, once the film was announced to be rescheduled for January 10th, it attracted much attention and became the focus of the audience’s expectation and search. Many media and film critics took the initiative to forward the film as "a remarkable dark horse in the Oscar season".

Netizens also expressed their expectations, "I think it’s a warm movie when I look at the materials, and I want to watch it with my grandmother", "I’ve seen some screenings before, and I feel more empathetic than I thought, and I’m full of life, love and satisfaction. Finally, I’m going to support another wave." Awkwafina, the heroine, has also become a hot topic for many audiences. "I heard that she has been nominated for many leading actress awards and I want to go to the cinema to see her performance." "All the movies I have seen recently have Awkwafina, and I also want to see The Farewell for the heroine.".

The film The Farewell is directed by Wang Ziyi, starring Awkwafina, Zhao Shuzhen, Mattei and Lin Xiaojie, and will be released nationwide on January 10th.


"Comfort Zone" wherever you drive, test drive Haval’s second-generation big dog Hi4 version

To be honest, when I saw Haval for the first time, I didn’t feel good-looking, and even felt a little stunned. It may be that the Great Wall took into account the elements of tanks and market positioning, so it moderately recovered the impression that Haval should be tougher. At most, the exposed rivets on the eyebrows are very eye-catching. Therefore, Haval’s second-generation big dog has obviously learned from experience, and the overall design is more mature and textured. The headlights are no longer just for the front. Under the contours of many car manufacturers have given square boxes, Haval’s second-generation big dog has changed to plump muscle lines throughout the body. I personally think it looks much better

The test drive route starts from the urban area. Sitting in the driver’s seat, I can’t help but take a look at this new interior first. Basically, there are mainstream elements at the moment, such as 12.3-inch full LCD meters, 14.6-inch floating central control screen, and passenger armrests. Using the latest generation of coffee intelligent cockpit systems, the sense of technology and off-road style is quite strong. With a three-spoke multi-function steering wheel and electronic gear bar, as well as many physical buttons, the practicality is also impossible to find fault with. Even the interior is basically covered with soft materials, and even the armrests in front of the passenger are soft. This is really rare.

And there are basically no faults in the configuration. The L2 level driver assistance system, electric induction trunk, HUD head-up display, wireless charging of the front mobile phone, multi-directional electric adjustment and heating of the front seat, memory of the main driver’s seat, 10-speaker sound, automatic folding of the outer rearview mirror lock car, automatic anti-dazzling inner rearview mirror and other functions are also available. I even found the camping mosquito repellent lamp that comes with the car next to the passenger. This thing has 5 light modes, and it also has a magnetic suction design, which is convenient for you to attach to the body. More importantly, it is also a mosquito repellent lamp, which helps the owner think of the needs when camping.

As for the performance in space, Haval’s second-generation big dog has a length, width and height of 4705 * 1908 * 1780mm, a wheelbase of 2810mm. Under the long-axis and short-suspension design, it has a shaft-length ratio of 0.597, a room gain rate of 62.6%, and a trunk volume of 483L to a maximum of 1362L. It can also find more storage space than other competing products everywhere, such as a separate beverage storage slot on the door, and an elastic belt is also used to fix it, which is quite attitude.

It doesn’t seem necessary to buy an electric SUV.

Pressing the engine start button, I forgot for a while that this Haval second-generation big dog was a PHEV, and I pressed it several times. I expected it to be accompanied by a sound wave after starting, but after failing, I was not disappointed. For me, who has tested too many hard-line SUVs in the past, this quiet environment may still be a little uncomfortable in such a masculine SUV.

But after the start of the feeling, my mood changed, I don’t know why, the first impression in my mind is actually Prado, not because the second generation of Haval big dog is better, but that the Prado, which is worth several times more, may not reach such a mobile experience.

But I fully agree with the brand value. It is an intangible value other than the product itself, representing historical accumulation, more user reputation, etc. But if you are not too interested in these, buying a Haval second-generation big dog is really enough.

Because the Haval second-generation big dog Hi4 version at low speed is powered by pure electricity when fully charged, you can also hear quite obvious pedestrian warnings. During urban driving, the vehicle is mainly driven by the rear motor. Only when accelerating or overtaking, the vehicle will switch to four-wheel drive mode. This acceleration process is basically the same as that of an electric vehicle. It is quiet but low-twist, and the weight of the body is invisible. It can achieve 0-100km/h acceleration of 6.3 seconds at the fastest. This is based on traditional fuel power in the past. I think even 3.0T is difficult to achieve the same performance. However, the main fuel engine of the Haval second-generation big dog Hi4 version is only 1.5T.

And Hi4 technology has a total of 3 power modes and 9 working modes. Its structure includes a two-in-one arrangement of front axle motors, which can both generate electricity and drive, with a maximum power of 70kW and a maximum torque of 160N · m. The rear drive module assembly directly drives the rear wheels, forming a 50:50 ratio with the front axle, a maximum power of 150kW and a maximum torque of 350N · m, so that the overall system has a comprehensive power of 278kW and a comprehensive torque of 750N · m. This layout also abandons the traditional axle, not only does it lack the existence of a fragile part (if it is often used off-road), but the center of the rear baseplate finally does not need to see that annoying bulge.

So before arriving at today’s off-road experience venue, Haval’s second-generation big dog Hi4 version has a certain off-road performance, but the feeling of driving it is obviously to seize the original owners who are used to city SUVs. The appearance looks tough, but in fact it is as easy to drive as a car. The light power response is one thing. The quiet of the Haval second-generation big dog Hi4 version is really good. The speed has to reach 120km/h to hear the wind cutting sound. I also think that the level of NVH is comparable to that of a car. In addition to the seats being very thick and soft, the rear windows are even arranged with manual sunshades. This design can make many MPVs feel embarrassed.

The other place you don’t want to face is the "comfort zone"?

In fact, I have always believed that the new car with excellent off-road performance does not make much sense, after all, it will be accompanied by the high price of the car to make the owner reluctant, but it is the second generation of Haval big dog, even if the top match does not exceed 200,000 car, in the car cycle can really participate in the outdoor off-road practice probability.

So this is also one of the reasons why Haval’s second-generation big dog joined Hi4 technology. After all, high fuel consumption has always been a flaw in off-road SUVs. It is not about the fuel money, but to really plan a long-distance crossing trip. You don’t need to modify a secondary fuel tank.

Of course, Haval’s second-generation big dog Hi4 version is only advertised as "3/4 scale light off-road" in the original factory, but after an afternoon of actual experience, I think it is enough to meet the needs of 95% of users for self-driving in the suburbs.

Because in the final analysis, it is still inseparable from this new set of intelligent four-wheel drive electric hybrid technology Hi4, so even if the traditional three-lock structure is missing, you can also achieve the same effect by distributing the output of the front and rear axle motors, which is the existence value of this iTVC intelligent torque vector control system. In fact, it is not too complicated to think about. When the system detects that the wheels are slipping or suspended, you don’t have to worry about too much power being distributed to the wheels and idling meaningless. The motor can be fully attached to the wheel for escape, which is also the reason why electric SUVs can make a U-turn in place, while traditional fuel vehicles cannot do it for a lifetime.

In addition, the motor has the characteristics of instantaneous high torsion output, so even if it is deep in the shell crater and other terrain, it can easily get out of trouble. After all, it has a design with an approach angle of 24 °, a departure angle of 30 °, and a minimum ground clearance of 200mm. And fuel vehicles may only be solved by means of large-displacement engines in a hard-on way. Therefore, the solution used by Haval’s second-generation big dog Hi4 version to interpret off-road is undoubtedly more like the principle of "four or two thousand gold". Any energy released in the wheels and moving forward is basically not wasted. Many times, the intervention of the engine is the icing on the cake, and the sound of running on the steep slope can also give people an impression of being polite.

And many campsites are also equipped with charging stations. If the owner wants to release the off-road performance of Haval’s second-generation big dog Hi4 version more perfectly, it is recommended to drink a cup of coffee and charge it. You can have a 102km NEDC pure electric cruising range, allowing the vehicle to achieve a WLTC comprehensive fuel consumption of 1.83L/100km. When you arrive at the camp, you can also use the V2L external discharge function. When fully charged, you can discharge electricity for 30 hours. One night in the field is enough.

Write after the text:

Haval’s second-generation Big Dog Hi4 version allows users to indulge in the wild at a lower cost, not only allowing more users to "afford" four-wheel drive off-road SUVs, Haval Big Dog has inherited more than 30 years of SUV manufacturing experience, and the products can also stand the test in terms of quality and reputation. After driving it once, it is really difficult not to be planted by it.

Project Fanxing focuses on "pulse-taking", "consultation" of cases, and evaluation of development and reform cases. ……

Original Shenguanban Liu Peng Shashi District People’s Court

What is the problem with the development and reform case? How to grasp the unified standard of referee? How to improve the quality and effectiveness of cases? Thereby enhancing judicial credibility? On September 19th, the 6th issue of "Shafa Lecture Hall" of the "Stars Project" of Shashi District People’s Court started as scheduled. The theme of this issue focused on the development and reform cases in our hospital this year, analyzed and judged the overall operation of the development and reform cases, and comprehensively discussed the difficulties and blocking points in the development and reform cases. Judges and assistant judges of all posts will attend the meeting.

During the activity, 10 members of the Judicial Committee took the stage to speak in turn according to their respective evaluations. With their profound legal knowledge and rich trial experience, they analyzed the trial procedure, fact finding and legal application of the case in depth, accurately pointed out the problems existing in the trial of the case, and made sharp and concise language, and put forward targeted suggestions on how to improve the quality of the case.

Wang Xi, deputy secretary and vice president of the Party Group, said that the evaluation of the reform cases is not only a "physical examination" of the cases that have been reformed, but also a "alignment" of the superior courts in the application of similar laws and the direction of adjudication, so as to keep the judgment scale and handling methods of our court consistent with those of the superior courts and reduce the number of cases that have been reformed.

Wang Zhonghua, party secretary and president of the hospital, stressed that the quality of cases is the lifeline of trial work, and the development and reform of cases is a key indicator to measure the quality of cases and the satisfaction of the masses. The hospital should adhere to the problem orientation, deeply analyze the causes of development and reform, and respond to the new expectations of the people with new results in trial work. First, adhere to the problem orientation. It is necessary to seriously reflect on the reasons for the reform, learn lessons from each case, accumulate experience for future trial work, and improve the ability to resolve disputes. The second is to improve business standards. "Sharpening the knife does not mistake the woodcutter". It is necessary to make good use of the auxiliary tools for handling cases, such as the live answer network, case base and case retrieval, and through extensive access to relevant documents and materials, strengthen the understanding of the legislative intent, improve the level of identifying legal facts, improve the quality of cases, and reduce the number of cases that have been changed. The third is to compact the regulatory responsibility. The president of the hospital should give full play to the responsibility of trial supervision and management, strictly implement the supervision of "four types of cases" and the review of cases, and strictly control the quality. It is necessary to give full play to the role of professional judges’ meetings and trial committees in summing up trial experience and unifying judgment standards, so as to improve the overall quality of cases.

What is the importance of the "Olympic House" trophy given by President Bach to the Director of the General Desk?

Source: media headlines

  According to CCTV news reports, on May 6th, IOC President Bach paid a visit to the Central Radio and Television General Station, and had in-depth exchanges with Vice Minister Publicity Department of the Communist Party of China and Director of the Central Radio and Television General Station Shen Haixiong on topics such as Olympic broadcast reports, research and application of new technologies, and the spread of Olympic culture. Xing Bo, deputy director of the General Desk, Yu Zaiqing, Li Lingwei and Zhang Hong, members of the International Olympic Committee, Xue Jijun and Fan Yun, members of the editorial board of the General Desk, accompanied the tour. The two sides also witnessed the signing ceremony of the invitation of CCTV to become the main broadcaster of the Paris Olympic Games.

  Bach said that he was very happy to meet his old friends here. China Central Radio and Television General Station has made record achievements in Olympic communication, especially in the coverage of Beijing Winter Olympics, which has set new standards and set new records in terms of audience number, new technology use and signal production, and won five consecutive "Olympic Golden Ring Awards" from the International Olympic Committee, demonstrating the infinite charm of the Olympic movement and proving the international leading sports communication strength of General Station. With the past success, there is more reason to believe that the cooperation between the IOC and the Headquarters will make greater progress in the future.

  Shen Haixiong said that the Olympic spirit and its motto of "more unity" are similar to the concept of the community of human destiny put forward by the Supreme Leader Chairman, and are also highly consistent with the international communication goal of the General Station. The Headquarters is willing to work with the International Olympic Committee to continue to deepen cooperation in accelerating technological innovation, developing e-sports events, building an Olympic channel, attracting young audiences, and spreading the Olympic movement and culture, so as to spread the Olympic spirit in a never-ending pace and make new and greater contributions to building a community of human destiny.

  What’s the point of this trophy presented by President Bach to the director of the reception desk? According to the relevant information of the International Olympic Committee, the "Olympic House" trophy presented by President Bach to the Director of the General Desk is made of marble and is decorated with copper alloy double rings. It is simple, dignified and smart. It is a high-standard trophy specially made for the President of the International Olympic Committee and given to specific VIPs to reward international people who have played an important role in the Olympic Movement.

  According to reports, the trophy was designed and produced by Rosa Serra, a Spanish national treasure sculptor known as "contemporary Michelangelo", and the base was autographed by the current International Olympic Committee President Bach. The trophy is based on the prototype of the ioc headquarters Building "Olympic House" in Lausanne, Switzerland. The building is shaped like a dove of peace, symbolizing peace and friendship, and it is one of the most important messages transmitted by the Olympic Movement. It is reported that the "Olympic House" building was officially opened on June 23, 2019, International Olympic Day.

  According to the official report of the International Olympic Committee, the trophy was presented to South Korean Zhao Zhengyuan, the current president of the World Taekwondo Federation, in December 2022.

Reporting/feedback

US aircraft carrier goes to the Middle East, and Iran’s "carrier killer" attracts attention.

  Reference News Network reported on May 13 The Associated Press reported on May 7 that US Acting Defense Minister Shanahan confirmed to reporters at the Pentagon on the 7 th that he had approved the accelerated dispatch of the "Lincoln" aircraft carrier battle group to the Middle East. US Presidential National Security Assistant Bolton said that sending an aircraft carrier battle group to the Middle East is an "unequivocal" signal to Iran. And how many cards can Iran, which is regarded as an "imaginary enemy" by the former, play when facing the US aircraft carrier?

  For a long time, Iran has been promoting its "anti-aircraft carrier" combat power. In all kinds of official propaganda videos, there are not only speedboats "wolves" besieging aircraft carriers, but also rocket launchers shooting at aircraft carriers, and even "single-handedly fighting aircraft carriers" highlighting "will conquers technology".However, the anti-aircraft carrier equipment that Iran relies most on and the United States attaches most importance to is the "Iranian version of the aircraft carrier killer" — — Persian Gulf and Hormuz anti-ship ballistic missiles.

  According to the British "Jane’s Defense Weekly" report, the "Persian Gulf" missile is said to be improved from the "Conqueror -110" missile. It is Iran’s first anti-ship ballistic missile and was first exposed in 2011. In the test picture released by Iran, the missile hit a stationary target ship. The "Hormuz" anti-ship ballistic missile is considered to be an improved version of the "Persian Gulf" missile (with active radar guidance head), which made its debut in 2014.

  According to Lebanon’s "Arab Motherland" newspaper, in the military exercise in early 2015, Iran successfully hit a 60-meter-long maritime moving target with the Persian Gulf missile. According to the Iranian Tasneem News Agency, in early 2017, the Iranian Revolutionary Guards test-fired the "Hormuz" missile and successfully hit a floating target 150 kilometers away. Iran’s official media commented that Iran hit a maritime target much smaller than the aircraft carrier with a completely self-made ballistic missile, so it can be concluded that the "aircraft carrier myth" has ended.

  However, the United States has always had doubts about the actual combat power of the Iranian version of the "aircraft carrier killer." A report released by the Center for Strategic and International Studies in August 2014 questioned the statement that "Iran can effectively use the anti-ship ballistic missile system". The think tank believes that Iran lacks the sensors and communication infrastructure needed to ensure targeting. Even ballistic missiles with terminal guidance capabilities need the support of intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance systems. If an attack is launched "rudely" on the area suspected of American ship activity, Iran may not have enough missiles available. In addition, according to the speed characteristics of Iran’s anti-ship ballistic missile, it is also difficult for it to break through the Aegis missile defense system.

  However, considering the geographical location of the Strait of Hormuz and Iran’s progress in reconnaissance and surveillance capabilities in recent years, Iran’s anti-ship ballistic missiles are still the most troublesome presence in the Middle East for American aircraft carriers. Especially in recent years, the construction and application of Iran’s UAV fleet not only enriches its anti-intervention arsenal, but also partially makes up for its shortcomings in reconnaissance and surveillance. For example, in March this year, the Iranian Revolutionary Guards released video clips of 50 attack drones attacking island targets for about 1,000 kilometers. In April, the Iranian Revolutionary Guards also released a set of high-definition videos, recording the process of Iranian drones "observing" the formation of American aircraft carriers at close range. These "aircraft carrier killers" at least ensure that Iran maintains "the power to fight back" when facing the US aircraft carrier.

The United States has repeatedly issued "three arrows" to the DPRK. South Korea: The United States has exerted "maximum pressure" on the DPRK.

  Cctv newsRecently, the Trump administration of the United States has repeatedly issued "three arrows" and frequently put pressure on North Korea. The situation on the peninsula, which has been calm for several weeks, is facing the risk of falling into "circular confrontation" again. Let’s see which "three arrows" the United States has shot at North Korea.

  "First Arrow": Diplomatic isolation. On the 20th of this month, the DPRK was reclassified into the list of "countries supporting terrorism"; This is nine years later, the United States once again labeled North Korea as a "state sponsor of terrorism".

  "Second Arrow": Economic sanctions. On the 21st of this month, the US Treasury Department imposed sanctions on a number of North Korean enterprises, ships and individuals, further cutting off the source of funds for North Korea’s nuclear research and development.

  "The Third Arrow": Military deterrence. On the 24th of this month, Yonhap News Agency quoted the South Korean Ministry of National Defense as saying that the United States and South Korea will launch a joint military exercise of "Watch out for Ace" from December 4th to 8th. For the first time, the US military sent six F-22 Raptors, which are known as the world’s strongest stealth fighters, to participate.

  US F-22 and F-35 or a joint military exercise in the United States and South Korea.

  At the beginning of next month, six F-22 Raptors will join the F-35 stealth fighters in the joint military exercise between South Korea and the United States. After dispatching three aircraft carriers at the same time, the US military made another big move.

  Korean media said that if the US F-22 set off from Wushan Air Force Base in South Korea, it could "break through" the dense North Korean radar network and penetrate into Pyongyang’s airspace in just seven minutes.

  Korean media: It is the first time that two state-of-the-art fighters have participated in the show at the same time.

  TV North Korea TV station commented that it is the first time that the F-22 and another advanced stealth fighter F-35 of the US military simultaneously attacked the Korean peninsula to participate in the joint military exercise between the United States and South Korea.

  F-35 fighter is the fifth generation multi-purpose combat aircraft developed by the United States and some allies. It is equipped with new avionics and has radar stealth capability. The F-35 is divided into three versions: A, B and C, which are conventional take-off and landing type, short take-off and vertical landing type and aircraft carrier take-off and landing type, and are used by the Air Force, Marine Corps and Navy. On the 18th of this month, the F-35 fighter planes of the US Marine Corps flew to the Iwakuni base of the US military stationed in Japan to start deployment. This is the first time that the United States has deployed this model outside the mainland, with a total of 16 aircraft deployed.

  The F-22 Raptor is claimed to be the strongest stealth fighter in the world. F-22 "Raptor", by Lockheed? Developed by Martin, the fuselage length is 18.9 meters, the wingspan is 13.56 meters, the cruising speed is 1960 km/h, and the top speed can reach 2410 km/h. The remarkable advantage of F-22 lies in its powerful "four super" capability — — Super stealth, supersonic cruise, super maneuverability, and over-the-horizon strike. Among them, the super stealth ability is the key to the F-22′ s ability to haunt and become a "battlefield raptor".

  From fighter planes to aircraft carriers, the United States continues to put pressure on North Korea.

  According to Yonhap News Agency, the US F-22 and F-35 fighter formations are believed to be participating in exercises such as "enemy infiltration" and "precision strike" together with Korean fighters in this joint military exercise of "vigilance ace". South Korean officials said that the US move is intended to exert "maximum pressure" on North Korea.

  Since the beginning of this year, the situation on the Korean peninsula has suddenly become tense. The United States has sent advanced fighter planes such as B-1B, F-35B and F-22 to the peninsula in turn to send a shocking signal. In addition to the strengthening of the air force, the US aircraft carrier fleet is also strengthening its deployment in the western Pacific. From 11th to 14th of this month, three US aircraft carrier strike groups held a military exercise in the western Pacific. This military exercise was the first gathering of three aircraft carrier strike groups since they participated in the exercise in the waters near Guam in 2007.

There is no doubt that Putin will be re-elected

Reporter | Chen Bing

  On the occasion of Chinese New Year in the Year of the Loong, Russians are busy preparing for the general election from March 15th to 17th, which will be the first highlight of the global "super election year" in 2024.

  According to the Global Times, the Russian Central Election Commission announced the list of candidates for the presidential election on February 8. In addition to Putin, the other three candidates are Russian Duma Vice Chairman Da Vankov, Liberal Democratic Party leader slutsky and communist party candidate Harry Tonov.

  According to a poll conducted by the Russian Public Opinion Research Center, 62% of the respondents said they would definitely vote, 14% said they might vote, 4% said they might not vote, and 7% said they would definitely not vote.

  The poll was conducted by telephone interview on February 8, and a total of 1,600 Russian citizens over the age of 18 were surveyed. Among the respondents who intend to vote, 75% said they would support Putin in the general election, 5% said they would support Vladislav da Vankov, the candidate of the New Party, Nikola Khaled Tonov, the candidate of the Russian Communist Party, and Leonid slutsky, the candidate of the Liberal Democratic Party, tied for third place with 4% support rate. The results of the latest polls show that the number of people who support Putin’s re-election this time is very close to the 76.69% vote rate of Putin in the latest 2018 general election.

  As a world-class power that ranks among the "five permanent members" of the United Nations, holds a powerful nuclear arsenal, vast resources and global political influence, Russia, which has experienced two years of Russian-Ukrainian conflict, has become a hot topic of global concern at the juncture of this general election.

Above: On February 12, 2024, Russian President Vladimir Putin presided over the Russian Economic Work Conference.

Who is singing "Against Taiwan" with Putin?


  Compare the four candidates who participated in the Russian presidential election-in terms of age, Harry Tonov is the oldest, 75 years old; The youngest is da Vankov, who has just turned 40. In terms of academic qualifications, all four candidates have received higher education. Putin and Harry Tonov are associate doctors in economics (equivalent to Dr. China), da Vankov is associate doctor in sociology, and slutsky is doctor in economics (equivalent to postdoctoral fellow in China).

  In terms of election experience, two of the four presidential candidates have participated in the presidential election. Putin participated in the presidential election four times, and Harry Tonov participated in a presidential election in 2004. Slutsky and da Vankov ran for the first time this year.

  In terms of duties, except Russian President Vladimir Putin, the other three candidates are all members of the State Duma (lower house of parliament), Da Vankov is the vice chairman of the State Duma, slutsky is the chairman of the State Duma International Affairs Committee, and Harry Tonov is the chairman of the State Duma Far East and Arctic Development Committee.

  In terms of property, according to the income information submitted by four people from 2017 to 2023, Da Vankov earned the most. His income in six years was about 76.91 million rubles (about 5.945 million yuan), and his wife earned 810,000 rubles (about 62,000 yuan). Slutsky has the lowest income, with an income of about 35.98 million rubles (about 2.78 million yuan) and his wife’s income of 29.16 million rubles (about 2.25 million yuan). Putin has the largest deposit, about 54.41 million rubles (about 4.205 million yuan), and slutsky has the least deposit, with only 1,285 rubles (about 990,000 yuan). However, slutsky has the most real estate, with 7 properties; Putin has the least real estate, only an apartment and a parking space in St. Petersburg.

  Apart from Putin who registered for the election by self-nomination, who are the other three-Da Vankov, slutsky and Harry Tonov?

  Gou Liwu, an assistant professor at the School of Marxism of Tongji University and a young researcher at the Russian Research Center of East China Normal University, the key research base of humanities and social sciences of the Ministry of Education, told Xinmin Weekly that Vladislav da Vankov was born in Smolensk in 1984 and was the youngest of the four presidential candidates. Da Vankov graduated from Moscow University in 2006, joined nechayev’s company in the same year, and was promoted to vice president in 2013. In 2020, nechayev founded the New Party, and appointed Da Vankov as the chairman of the Central Executive Committee. In 2021, he was elected as a member of the Russian Duma, and Duma Chairman Volodin appointed Da Vankov as the vice chairman of the Duma. Da Vankov is a rare moderate opposition. During the COVID-19 epidemic, it opposed compulsory vaccination. In the Russian vote to recognize the independence of Donetsk and Lugansk, the New Party was the only party that abstained. In addition, da Vankov also supported the candidacy of Najreddin, a fellow candidate.

  Slutsky, born in 1968, is the leader of the ultra-nationalist Liberal Democratic Party and has rich professional experience. Since 1999, he has served in the State Duma and successively served as the first vice-chairman and chairman of the State Duma International Affairs Committee. Because he has a doctorate in economics, he has served as a teacher in colleges and universities, a senior bank manager and an adviser to the mayor of Moscow. It is worth noting that slutsky has been accused of sexual harassment, violation of traffic regulations, bribery and many other charges, among which Nabal also accused him of illegally accumulating wealth. Since 2014, slutsky has been sanctioned by many countries in the United States and the European Union for supporting Putin’s policy on the Ukrainian crisis.

  Harry Tonov, born in 1948, is a member of the Russian Communist Party of party member. He is the oldest of the four candidates. Harry Tonov, a former party member of the Agricultural Party, has served in the State Duma since 1994. He quit the Agricultural Party in 2007 because he was dissatisfied with the cooperation between the Agricultural Party and the United Russia Party, and joined communist party in 2008, with strong support from zyuganov. Since 2011, he has served as the chairman of the Far East and Arctic Development Committee. Harry Tonov once participated in the presidential election on behalf of the Russian Communist Party in 2004, with 13.69% of the votes second only to Putin. Although Harry Tonov opposed Putin’s series of propositions, Harry Tonov was sanctioned by the United States and the West for supporting Putin’s position on the Ukrainian crisis.

Several forces in Russian politics today


  The political map of Russia has changed greatly in the past 24 years. Yekaterina Denzova, a candidate who opposed the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, announced that she would participate in the 2024 presidential election as an independent candidate and launched an anti-war political platform, but the Russian Central Election Commission rejected her nomination. Later, Deng Zuowa found another way to set up the Dawn Party, but it still ended without results. And Deng Zuowa had the same experience as Najreddin, who sharply criticized the "special military action". Although Najreddin won the signature support of more than 100,000 voters, it was questioned.

  In fact, even if Deng Zuowa and Najreddin can participate in the presidential election, they will not pose any threat to Putin. However, the Russian Central Election Commission still prohibits them from participating in the election for the same reason, and there is no information about these two candidates in the final list of candidates.

  Gou Liwu pointed out that after the disintegration of the Soviet Union, all the participating republics started the so-called "democratic transformation" to varying degrees, and also established a political party election system similar to that of the West during this period, but some of them did not completely copy the free election system of the West, but merged their own political traditions. Russia, Ukraine and Belarus have all participated in the presidential election independently. In Russia, Yeltsin, the first president, and then Putin and Medvedev all participated in the presidential election in an independent capacity and were successfully elected president. In Ukraine, the first President kravchuk, and later Kuchma and Yushchenko all participated in the presidential election as independent candidates and were successfully elected. In Belarus, from 1991 to the present, all previous presidential candidates participated in the presidential election as independent.

  It is worth noting that Putin is not the leader of the All-Russian Party, but the leader of the All-Russian People’s Front. As a political party alliance, the All-Russian People’s Front includes United Russia Party, Just Russia-Patriot-For Truth Party, All-Russian Party "Motherland" Party, Newcomer Party, Russian Ecological Party "Green Party" and Russian Progressive Socialist Party. In Russia, in 2018 and this presidential election, although Putin participated in the presidential election as an independent candidate, he also had an identity as the leader of the All-Russian People’s Front.

  According to the Russian election law, non-political party candidates need to be nominated by a group of at least 500 supporters, in addition, at least 300,000 supporters’ signatures need to be collected. The groups that nominated Putin included senior officials of the ruling United Russia Party, famous Russian actors and singers, athletes and other public figures. Therefore, Putin’s participation in the election as an independent candidate shows to a great extent that he represents the interests of all Russian people, rather than representing Russia through a certain political party.

  Apart from the All-Russian People’s Front led by Putin, what are the main forces in Russian politics today?

Above: Russia will hold a presidential election from March 15th to 17th, 2024, and the voting will last for three days.

  Xu Changzhi, deputy secretary-general of the Sino-Russian strategic cooperation high-end cooperation think tank of the China Academy of Social Sciences and a researcher at the Eurasian Institute for Social Development of the the State Council Development Research Center, said that according to the traditional classification method, there are probably several forces in the Russian Federation’s current political arena: first, the United Russia Party represents the traditional center-right forces; The second is the Russian Republic, just Russia-patriots-for the truth party, belonging to the center-left; The third is the liberal democratic party, which represents the extreme right forces; The fourth is the newly established New People’s Party, which is also a center-right force, but it is different from the traditional center-right force represented by all-Russian party representatives. It mainly represents young people who support the center-right position.

  Since he became acting president of Russia on December 31, 1999 and took office on May 7, 2000, Putin has been in power for 24 years, from being president to being prime minister and then being president. In the past 24 years, various forces in Russian politics have probably developed in two ways: one is to be incorporated into the system and become the opposition in the establishment, such as the Russian Communist Party, the Communist Party of Russia, the Liberal Democratic Party and the New Party; On the other hand, if you take a position that does not support Putin, you will either be driven out of the country, put in prison, or fail to register as a presidential candidate.

Navalny’s death has limited impact.


  It is particularly noteworthy that Russia’s main opposition leader Navalny died suddenly in prison recently. He was once regarded as the only person most likely to influence the presidential election. So, will his death affect the next general election?

Above: Ukraine confirmed that Navalny died of thrombosis.

  Navalny, who is of Russian and Ukrainian descent at the same time, graduated from Russian People’s Friendship University, Federal University of Finance and Economics and Yale University successively. In 2000, he joined the United Democratic Party of Russia "Yabolu" and began to go into politics in 2002. Because of the discrepancy between his ideology and his political party, he was expelled from the party in 2007.

  Later, he began to become a Russian dissident leader against Putin, and during the election of the Russian State Duma in 2011, he accused the United Russia Party of cheating in the election, organized demonstrations, and eventually turned into a nationwide anti-Putin incident and was arrested and imprisoned. On December 30, 2014, Navalny was found guilty of fraud and sentenced to imprisonment with a three-and-a-half-year suspension. However, in 2016, the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation overturned this judgment.

  In 2018, he was arrested several times, but was quickly released. In August 2020, he was suspected of being poisoned on his way back to Moscow from Siberia by plane, and Putin approved him to go to Germany for treatment. Navalny said that the behind-the-scenes ambassador of the "poisoning" incident was the Russian government, while the Russian government believed that it was directed and performed by Navalny and western intelligence agencies.

  After escaping a robbery, he returned to Moscow in January 2021 and was detained as soon as he arrived at the airport. In 2021, he was sentenced to three and a half years in prison for economic crimes, and in 2022, he was sentenced to nine years in prison for contempt of court and election fraud. In August last year, he was sentenced to 19 years in prison for sedition and other crimes.

  In December last year, Navalny’s spokesman claimed that after losing contact with him for three weeks, he found that he was transferred to the third prison of Yamal-Nenets Autonomous Region in Siberia to serve his sentence. On February 14th this year, he also sent a message to his wife, You Liya, on social networking sites through his lawyer, with sweet photos of them. Unexpectedly, two days later, he died unexpectedly …

  In response to Navalny’s accidental death, the EU adopted the 13th round of sanctions against Russia, and the United States also imposed a new round of sanctions on Russia. Ironically, later, the Ukrainian side announced that the information from the intelligence system that Navalny died of thrombotic disease indirectly proved that he was not killed by Putin. "According to the official Russian poll data, Putin’s public support rate still maintains an absolute advantage of 75%, so even if Navalny’s accidental death will have a certain impact on Russian society, in the early days of the’ special military operation’, the Russian government has taken countermeasures in the fields of society and public opinion, so it has little impact on the upcoming presidential election." Yan Liwu said. The support rate is as high as 75%, far higher than other candidates who follow closely. This means that in the Russian presidential election in 2024, there is no suspense for Putin to be re-elected. Reporter | Chen Bing

Four highlights of the release of "Tianshu Qitan 4K Commemorative Edition" reveal the secrets of the country

1905 movie network news Produced and directed by Shanghai Animation Film Studio, the classic animation of China officially landed in major cinemas across the country on November 5th, and released a word-of-mouth special. Many viewers who had watched the premiere before spontaneously came to Amway after watching the film, saying that they didn’t know why it was one of the best China animations in the eyes of countless people until they watched the film. "The feeling of watching on the big screen is different", "Let the world know that this is the real China animation" and "Many things with China characteristics that we pursue are in this film".


Since the film was self-edited, the film "Tianshu Qitan 4K Commemorative Edition" has caused many hot discussions among netizens for its sincere display of China traditional culture. At the previous premiere, the deeply rooted role images, funny and humorous story contents and the beautiful national style of brush and ink landscapes were unanimously recommended by many peers in the industry and the media. With today’s release, the film, which was hailed as a "landmark", officially met the national audience on the big screen, and the four behind-the-scenes highlights were also announced one by one.


Aspect 1: Meeting with History Witness the significance of China’s animation inheritance after 38 years.


Thirty-eight years ago, the film was born, and the classics that condensed the efforts of countless artists were born. Fantastic ideas, profound China myths and stories, and extremely advanced role images have captured countless audiences. Today, it is still regarded as one of the best China animations by many people.


Thirty-eight years later, the film "Tianshu Qitan 4K Commemorative Edition" was released nationwide on November 5, spanning the long river of time, and this profound China animation once again entered the public’s field of vision. For the audience who have seen it, this restoration is a gift to let them go back to childhood, while for the audience who have not yet experienced it, this work can make them feel refreshed. Since the development of China animation, the inheritance and innovation behind it have always remained unchanged, and "The Wonder Tan in the Book of Heaven" is one of the important works that cannot be ignored in the development process. Today’s restoration and release is not only popular, but also a lesson from history.


Aspect 2: Talk to yourself and focus on the core of China’s animation "fantastic beauty"


As an animated feature film, the drawing process of "Tian Shu Qi Tan" is full of hardships. According to director Yunda Qian’s recollection, painters judged the time required for the characters’ lines by lip-synching with stopwatches, so as to draw the corresponding mouth shapes of the characters. Painters worked overtime day and night, painting for three years, and finally created this classic in the history of China animation with perseverance and talent. Different from the image of "Gao Daquan" created by mainstream literary and artistic works at that time, "Tian Shu Qi Tan" focuses on the unique aesthetics of strangeness, interest and beauty. The unique character modeling and imaginative strangeness, vivid and three-dimensional interest of various characters and beauty of national art and culture in the film fully show the creative core of China animation.


Famous media people and writers once praised the film’s "family fun" characteristics at its premiere. She sincerely recommended all the audience to take their children into the cinema to watch, and said that the best parent-child relationship is to take their children to watch cartoons they watched as children. The famous film and television director also recalled his childhood fun after watching the film. He once put a cake on his head like an egg. Sometimes the pleasure brought by the film is not only the movie itself, but also the memory and emotion it brings. Well-known film and television actors said that they were very honored to see it in the cinema, and they had no regrets in their childhood.


Aspect 3: Coexistence with the Times, Advanced Interest Adapting to the Choice of Watching Movies for All Ages


The simple but not simple storyline and vivid and interesting character images of "The Wonderful Tale of Heaven" show us the unique features of the Chinese nation, so that folk art, ancient myths and national wisdom can be presented and passed down in the form of animation. Audiences of all ages can find childlike innocence and fun in the film, such as the strange-looking fox mother, which left an indelible impression on many people’s hearts after 70 s and 80 s. For the first-time audience, many plots in the film are attractive enough, such as the cornucopia constantly "copying" dad’s famous scenes, etc. In the previous advance viewing, many people said that "it was the first time I saw it, and it was very novel and fun", which proved that its story content is still out of date and timeless, and it can not only enjoy the visual baptism of the beautiful national scenery, but also appreciate many excellent traditional cultures.


Aspect 4: Blending with the nation and carrying forward China’s excellent traditional culture have a long way to go.


Today, with the prevalence of multiculturalism, many excellent works have emerged in the animation market at home and abroad. The restoration and release of "The Wonder of Heaven" has made many people start to think about the significance of China’s animation. China’s 5,000-year-old civilization has provided a good cornerstone for China’s animation creation. With its unique style and perspective, China Animation School has a special place in the world animation stage, which highlights the fine tradition of China culture and has its own unique national characteristics.


As one of the representative works of China School, the film "The Wonder of Heaven" draws lessons from the artistic elements such as paintings, sculptures, toys and operas in China’s traditional culture, and brings together many folk images, such as a large number of folk music used as background music, and the little emperor marveled at the "birds flying at the phoenix", walking on stilts, dancing dragons and lions and other folk activities, which can be described as a "folk grand view garden". The modeling of the three foxes draws lessons from the traditional Chinese opera facial makeup, which makes the audience unforgettable; The gardens, palaces, courtyards and mountains and rivers in the film follow the "wu school" style, drawing the human landscape with meticulous brushwork and heavy colors, and drawing the natural landscape with elegant ink and wash. The revisiting and attaching importance to the "China School" is, on the one hand, to commemorate the forgetfulness, and, on the other hand, to take history as a mirror to arouse the rethinking of nationalization in China’s animation creation.


The 4K Commemorative Edition of Tian Shu Qi Tan officially landed on the national big screen on November 5, and the classic is full of vitality of the times. I believe it will bring an excellent viewing experience that cannot be missed to many audiences!
