IKEA responded that it would not recall the "Desperate Cabinet" in China: it can be refunded in full if it has been sold.

  Shanghai, China, December 2 (Li Jiajia, Xu Guangyue) IKEA recently responded to the security risks involved in the MALM series of chest of drawers in Shanghai. Zhu Changlai, president of IKEA Retail China, said that the tilting of chest of drawers is not a quality problem. The recall of chest of drawers in malm is not repeated in China, but the affected consumers can continue to seek wall-mounted accessories and wall-mounted installation, and receive a full refund at their door-to-door, and the product has not been discontinued so far.

  Last year, the chests of drawers sold by IKEA in malm were overturned many times, resulting in the death of children and a worldwide recall. IKEA and IKEA in Shanghai were interviewed by AQSIQ and Shanghai Quality Inspection Department successively. In July 2016, under the guidance of the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine and local supervision departments, IKEA initiated the recall of malm chest of drawers in China.

  In May this year, a 2-year-old boy in California was killed by a malm chest of drawers that was not fixed on the wall. Recently, IKEA announced that it had recalled a total of 17.3 million chest of drawers in the United States and Canada. Up to now, MALM series products have caused 8 children’s deaths. The recall is limited to Canada and the United States, and does not include China.

  On November 30th, the Shanghai Municipal Bureau of Quality Supervision said that IKEA (China) Investment Co., Ltd. had been interviewed for the series of IKEA "malm" products that were concerned by the society, and asked the enterprises to fulfill the recall obligation effectively, but IKEA did not deal with the recall.

  At the media communication meeting that day, Zhu Changlai explained that "the United States and Canada did not recall this time, but reiterated the information of the last recall. Although IKEA has no further recall plan in the China market, it has always emphasized safety awareness to customers in various ways."

  "What we want to emphasize is that as long as the chest of drawers of IKEA is firmly fixed on the wall, there is no safety and quality problem. Any chest of drawers higher than 75 cm may fall when standing up without fixing." Zhu Changlai said: "There are similar risks in the whole household industry. What we need to do now is to warn of the existence of risks and awaken everyone’s attention to furniture safety."

  Zhu Changlai introduced that IKEA China has taken four measures to deal with the chests of drawers in malm that have been sold: First, for customers who have bought chests of drawers in malm, IKEA will continue to provide wall fittings free of charge to ensure their safe use; Second, consumers can contact IKEA staff, and IKEA will provide free on-site installation and fixed services; Third, for consumers who don’t want to continue to use malm chest of drawers, they can return the products to IKEA stores, and IKEA will refund the full amount; Fourth, consumers can also contact IKEA to provide door-to-door collection service, and IKEA will also refund the full amount.

  According to IKEA, the chest of drawers continues to be produced and sold, and there is no plan to stop production. At the same time, for the products that have been sold, IKEA will provide continuous after-sales, including full refund, and when customers buy the products in IKEA stores, the sales staff will also remind them that the products need to be put on the wall.

  Zhu Changlai revealed that since 2006, IKEA has sold 2 million malm chests of drawers in the China market, of which more than 22,000 chests of drawers have been recalled, of which more than 8,000 have been returned to IKEA, and some consumers have applied for free wall service.

  Zhu Changlai also said in an interview that up to now, there has not been any lawsuit related to the injury to children caused by chest of drawers in malm in China, and the sales volume of this chest of drawers this year is not very different from last year. (End)

Equipped with an end-to-end human-like intelligent driving GAC Chuanqi SUV, looking forward to S7 listing.

On the evening of March 30th, GAC Chuanqi’s brand-new medium and large SUVS7 was officially launched. Six new models were launched, with a guide price range of 175,800-229,800 yuan and a limited-time price of 169,800-223,800 yuan. After adding the national replacement subsidy, the price further dropped to 154,800-208,800 yuan.

As the brand’s first production car equipped with a high-level intelligent driving system, the new car is built on the new energy platform of Guangzhou Automobile EV+, and it cuts into the market with the dual core of plug-in and intelligent driving, facing the needs of home users for long battery life, intelligence and high cost performance.

Chuanqi yearns for S7 to adopt the design language of "hiding the front and embellishing it", with a closed front face with a 2618mm penetrating light strip and a split headlight group, and a built-in 2248 beads, which supports the upgrade of OTA light language and the interaction with breathing light, and the recognition is full at night. On the side of the car body, the suspended roof, hidden door handle and 20-inch spoke wheel hub enhance the sense of technology, and the tail is similar to a zigzag through the light group and the dynamic light effect echoes the front face design, giving consideration to the sense of strength and futurity. The new car offers five basic color schemes and two-piece/matte options to meet individual needs.

The interior of the new car takes the 270 embracing cockpit as the core, and is equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 8295P chip and ADiGO 6.0 system, which supports four-tone voice interaction and 27-inch W-HUD head-up display, realizing "visible and controllable". For family travel scenes, the rear row is equipped with a 17.3-inch 3K ceiling screen, a 22-speaker Dolby panoramic sound response and a 20L cold and warm refrigerator, giving consideration to entertainment and practicality. In terms of intelligent driving, the new car is equipped with NVIDIA Orin-X chip (254TOPS computing power) and 11 cameras+laser radar combination. The self-developed end-to-end system of GAC covers 357 sub-scenarios, such as urban/high-speed NDA and extreme parking spaces, and the intelligent driving function in urban areas is free for life, which significantly reduces the threshold for users to adopt advanced intelligent driving.

In terms of power, the new car offers the choice of plug-in and extended-range power. The plug-in version is equipped with a plug-in system consisting of a 1.5T engine, and provides a single-motor version and a dual-motor version. Among them, the maximum power of the 1.5T engine is 118kW, the single-motor version is equipped with a 170kW front drive motor, and the four-wheel drive version is equipped with a 170kW/80kW front and rear dual motors. CLTC has a pure battery life of 180-205km and a comprehensive battery life of 1020-1150km. The whole system supports 17-minute fast charge (30%-80%) and 6kW external discharge, taking into account the long-distance endurance anxiety relief and outdoor power demand.

From the perspective of positioning and pricing, we look forward to popular models such as S7 sword finger and so on. Compared with the ideal L6, its limited-time starting price is as low as 154,800 yuan (after subsidy), and it offers lidar version and four-wheel drive options, so its intelligent driving function and endurance performance are more competitive. At the same price, Chery Fengyun T10 and other models are also difficult to fully compete with them in the intelligent cockpit and intelligent driving configuration.

Conclusion:

In 2025, the competition in the large and medium-sized new energy SUV market is fierce, and Chuanqi yearns for S7 to cut in with the strategy of "high entry price", filling the gap of the brand in the 200,000-class smart SUV market. Combined with leapfrog configuration, full-scene intelligent driving and technical accumulation of GAC Chuanqi in the hybrid field, the new car is expected to become a new choice for home users. If the terminal channel and service experience are improved simultaneously, it will become the key engine to drive the sales growth of Chuanqi.

The current entrepreneurial environment has indeed become more difficult, which is not only from the macro environment, but also the true feelings of many entrepreneurs.

I have a hunch that enterprises will face greater challenges next year, and the main problem lies in the lack of confidence.

I have worked with many listed chairmen of the Shanghai and Beijing Chambers of Commerce or"The man with the iron bowl"I deeply understand the pressure brought by the business environment, as well as the real experiences of many entrepreneurs around me.

At the same time, I am in Beijing with some"Dog legs"After a few months, I can only describe it in one word-"clothing".

If you don’t accept it, you have to accept it. In order to maintain the operation of the enterprise, you have to send cards and money in exchange for the so-called"convenience",After the delivery, people will light my cigarette when they meet.

If you don’t send or even accept abusive treatment, this help"Dog legs"I dare to swear behind closed doors. This will be replaced by a place, I guess."Dog legs"Designate to hit people behind closed doors.

Ladies and gentlemen, don’t fantasize and question. Don’t be naive, don’t think about justice, and don’t do that. It’s no use. I’ll tell you with my actual combat experience:"Sending money is the fastest and best solution"!Other things are really useless and a waste of time. This is the reality, and the result of uncompromising may be that the enterprise is brought down.

Fighting with the sky, fighting with the ground, and fighting with people may all find a way out; But only don’t talk to those who flatter and bully others."Dog legs"Competing for each other, because the power behind them is often overwhelming.

RecallThe best time to start a business,It was an era full of passion and dreams. Encouraged by entrepreneurs such as Ma Yun, countless young people joined the entrepreneurial wave. The environment at that time was relatively relaxed, encouraging innovation and adventure.However, with the advance of the torrent of the times, the fate of individuals and enterprises is often involuntary. Only when the overall environment becomes conducive to entrepreneurship can we succeed more easily.

In the past few years, due to well-known reasons, the economic situation was grim, many industry leaders chose to remain silent, and Ma Yun did not return to China for a long time.In the past two years, the office rent has halved and the vacancy rate has exceeded 30%, which reveals a surprising aspect of the social and economic structure.The residential market has also experienced violent fluctuations, and the sharp drop in house prices has caused widespread concern, but the decline in the office market is more serious.

Recently, a message from a circle of friends has aroused widespread concern on the Internet:An entrepreneur in the live broadcast e-commerce industry issued an appeal late at night, suggesting that his peers give up the deposit and find a new office space with a rent lower than 2.5 yuan/m2/day.According to the entrepreneur, the rent of Hangzhou Future Science and Technology City has dropped sharply, and many large parks even offer rent-free concessions. Even so, it is still difficult to attract tenants.Who would have thought that the once prosperous office market would cool down at such a rapid rate?

This change not only reflects the downward pressure on the economy, but also exposes the imbalance between supply and demand in the market. For entrepreneurs, how to find a way to survive in this environment has become a key problem to be solved urgently. Faced with this reality, we need more flexible strategies and perseverance to deal with the uncertainty in the future.

Office buildings are known as urban economy."barometer"Its origin can be traced back to the end of the 19th century, but until the early 1980s, most people in China were still very unfamiliar with the concept of office buildings. At that time, the office buildings were mainly xz office buildings of zf organs and units.(Without yanlun’s freedom, I dare not type many words, let alone say them, so I call them "cows, cows" in this environment.).

With the promotion of the reform and opening-up policy, more and more foreign-funded enterprises flock to China to seek business opportunities. However, these enterprises in China’s major cities, such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, are faced with the dilemma of finding suitable office places and have to choose hotels to handle their daily business and liaison affairs. This situation has given birth to a strong demand for modern commercial office services.

In this context, landmark buildings such as the Chocolate Building in Beijing (namely, Beijing International Building), the Friendship Building in Shanghai and the Diwang Building in Shenzhen came into being, and modern office buildings sprang up one after another, gradually forming the central business district (CBD) of the city, marking the development of the office market in China has entered a new stage.

These office buildings are home to key industries such as finance, high-tech, insurance, etc., and the business elites can release huge economic efficiency when talking and laughing. Seeing this scene, investors have turned their attention to office buildings, and the "building economy" came into being, and the office market gradually took shape.

With the state-owned enterprises, foreign enterprises and private enterprises moving into the Central Business District (CBD) one after another, office buildings have become hot assets in first-tier cities. Data show that in 2007, the demand for office buildings in Shanghai was in short supply, and the vacancy rate of Grade A office buildings was as low as 1.6%.

At the same time, the office market has contributed remarkable economic benefits to first-tier cities and become their veritable "vertical printing machine". This phenomenon not only reflects the importance of office buildings as the core of commercial activities, but also highlights the important engine role of economic development in first-tier cities.

In 2020, among the 285 office buildings in Shanghai Lujiazui Financial City, 4 have a tax revenue of more than 6 billion yuan, 20 have a tax revenue of more than 2 billion yuan and 32 have a tax revenue of more than 1 billion yuan, and the tax revenue of 110 office buildings has reached the level of 100 million yuan. In Shenzhen, less than 20 square kilometers of Yuehai Street, there are more than 100 office buildings of listed companies, and the total annual GDP has exceeded 300 billion yuan. In the face of such a huge economic volume, who can not be moved?

In recent years, with the gradual expansion of domestic enterprises to second-tier cities, second-tier cities have used the experience of first-tier cities for reference in order to attract investment, and increased the intensity of office building construction. According to the data, as of 2019, more than 200 cities or urban areas in China have issued plans or policies related to building economy. High-grade office buildings have mushroomed in major cities, which indicates that commercial real estate in China has entered a new stage of development.

Every night, the light show of CBD in each city is dizzying, and on the surface, it presents a scene of economic prosperity. However, behind this bright light, there are many hidden crises.With the advancement of urban transformation and upgrading, more and more cities have concentrated on releasing office supply, resulting in a long-term high vacancy rate.

according toWhite Paper on China Office Building Market in 2021At present, there are 19 cities in the mainland that are at the peak of construction. The average daily rent of high-quality office buildings in these cities is only 2.2 yuan/square meter, and the vacancy rate is close to 40%.According to market data, at the end of last year, the vacancy rate of office buildings in several major first-tier cities in China exceeded 20%: the vacancy rate in Beijing was 21.7%, and that in Shanghai was 21.8%, up 5 percentage points from the previous year; The situation in Shenzhen is even more serious, with the vacancy rate of Grade A office buildings exceeding 30.6%.

It is worth noting that the above official data may not fully reflect the actual situation.There are rumors that the actual vacancy rate in Shenzhen may be as high as 70%.Such a high vacancy rate has aroused public concern."oversupply"Wide criticism. This not only reveals the potential risks of the commercial real estate market, but also challenges the urban planning and development strategy.

In order to reduce losses, owners have reduced rents to attract enterprises to settle in.According to data from dtz,In the third quarter of 2024, the rent of Beijing office market fell to 266.1 yuan/square meter/month, down 4.7% from the previous month and 13.5% from the same period last year.According to a report by Jones Lang LaSalle,In the third quarter of this year, the average rent of Grade A office buildings in 40 major cities nationwide was 80.3 yuan/square meter/month, with a decrease of 0.4% to 5.6% from the previous month.

This means that the vacancy rate of office buildings has reached a new high for more than a decade, while the rental price has fallen to the lowest point for more than a decade.There are even rumors that many large parks have directly adopted rent-free measures in order to save property fees. Even so, the high vacancy rate of office buildings is still difficult to be effectively alleviated. Once a smash hit, the symbolic building regarded as the development of market economy no longer has its former style and prosperity after a large number of office areas are closed.

The future of office buildings has become an urgent problem to be solved. In order to reactivate this market and meet the new market demand, relevant departments have made various attempts, which have aroused great concern from all walks of life. The main measures focus on the following aspects:

The first is to re-evaluate and upgrade the business function of the office building. Leading enterprises and chain-owner enterprises are introduced into super-Grade A commercial buildings to enhance the concentration and output intensity of business formats and build a brand of characteristic commercial buildings; Grade a buildings focus on introducing high-quality enterprises to improve the quality of operation and service; Grade B buildings promote functional integration and compound development, and improve the level of property management; Class C buildings provide flexible and low-cost office space for small and micro enterprises through micro-renovation, micro-renewal and shared office mode.

Secondly, carry out functional transformation of commercial buildings, such as transforming office buildings into spaces for other purposes such as hotels, hospitals or elderly care facilities. This not only re-plans the physical attributes of the building, but also meets the current market demand, policy orientation and community function demand.

In the process of seeking transformation, a major challenge that enterprises need to overcome is to obtain the support and cooperation of relevant departments to ensure that they can successfully obtain the necessary business licenses. In addition, the transformation strategy of "changing business to living" has also become one of the choices of many enterprises, providing a feasible way.

Through these comprehensive adjustment and reform measures, the office market is expected to gradually adapt to the new economic environment and development trend, and find a new path suitable for its own development.

Transforming office buildings into residential areas can not only effectively cope with the rising vacancy rate of commercial buildings, but also alleviate the current situation of housing shortage to some extent. However, this measure needs to be handled with caution, because it may lead to social contradictions and new unfairness. There is a significant difference in land price between commercial land and residential land, and residential land is usually more expensive."Business changes to residence"The project enters the housing market at a lower cost. For example, the unit price of a house in a big city can reach 60,000 yuan per square meter, while the unit price of the "business to live" project is only 20,000 yuan. This price gap may have an impact on the existing housing market, and how to balance the interests of other housing owners has become a big challenge.

It is not easy to implement the above measures. We still have a long way to go to revitalize the office market on the premise of ensuring social fairness as much as possible. At one time, the office building market contributed super-high economic benefits to the first-tier cities, and was praised as one of many entrepreneurs."vertical banknote printing machine".However, with the deterioration of the economic environment in recent years, this "money printing machine" seems to have become a "meat grinder", and many entrepreneurs have lost their money and been displaced.

However, there have been two symbolic events recently:Ma Huateng, who has always been low-key, wrote in People’s Daily, and Ma Yun also returned to China with high profile.

Ma Huateng’s article is entitled"Contributing Internet Power to Economic Recovery"He expressed his confidence in the bright future of private enterprises. These landmark events not only reflect that China’s private economy is experiencing a turning point, but also send a positive signal, which indicates that there may be more support policies in the future to help enterprises recover and develop.

In this context, how to activate the office market while ensuring fairness will be an important issue for some time to come. Through reasonable policy guidance and support, the office market is expected to gradually adapt to the new economic environment and development trend, and find a new path suitable for its own development.


Recently, a series of legal system construction, such as the legislative advancement of the private economy promotion law, have provided a solid legal guarantee for private enterprises to go into battle lightly. At the same time, actively explore digital consumption, aiming at creating richer consumption scenarios, modes and formats, and further stimulating market vitality. We firmly believe that with the support of such policies, private enterprises will usher in a bright future, and China’s economy will also ride the wind and waves and strive to move forward. It is an important task to improve quality and efficiency, optimize business layout and promote healthy and sustainable development of various industries.

It is worth noting that Ma Huateng, who has always been known for his low profile, has made a high-profile voice this time.People’s dailyPublish articles to emphasize the bright future of private economy. This move not only sent a strong positive signal, but also injected a shot in the arm for the development of private enterprises.Ma Huateng said in the article that he believes that private enterprises will have bright prospects and promises to contribute to the economic recovery.

At the same time, Ma Yun has been particularly active recently. As we all know, Ma Yun has been traveling abroad for the past two years and rarely returns to China to participate in foreign activities or make public speeches. However, Ma Yun’s sudden return to China at the end of November caused widespread concern, which not only attracted a hot search, but also excited the entire Alibaba Group, and the whole network was hotly debated.

Some employees recalled:"The last time I saw Mr. Ma was the’ Double Eleven’ in 2022. Time flies, but the intimacy remains unchanged."This unexpected joy made the whole park boil. Ma Yun looks cheerful and greets everyone with a smile. This long-lost interaction has brought inspiration and confidence to many people.

Ma Huateng and Ma Yun, two iconic figures in China’s Internet industry, have sent positive signals one after another, indicating that China’s private economy is welcoming new development opportunities and injecting strong confidence and support into the market.

I have been paying close attention to the opinions of top entrepreneurs.Because their opinions often have important reference value.Ma Huateng and Ma Yun spoke at the same time.I don’t think this is an accidental phenomenon.But gj hopes to convey an important signal through these entrepreneurs:Gj is attaching great importance to the development of private economy and injecting a shot in the arm for private entrepreneurs to enhance their confidence in future development.

Combined with a number of recently released policies, it can be predicted that 2025 will be a crucial year for the country to promote the development of private economy. This year is full of challenges and countless expectations. According to the analysis of many experts and folk wise men, there may be seven major trends in China in 2025:

First of all, in the housing market and the stock market,"maintaining stability"Will be the main theme.In recent years, house prices have continued to fall, and real estate companies have frequent crises.The top management decided on October 9th."Stabilize the property market and stock market, and prevent and resolve risks and external shocks in key areas".Despite the policy support, the market temporarily recovered.But in my opinion.In the next two or three years, house prices are likely to continue to drop, and real investment and consumer confidence have not fully recovered.

Secondly,The life of ordinary people will be even more tight.. Since the mask, it has become more and more difficult to make money, and it is under great pressure to work or do business. Even if many people work hard, they still can’t make ends meet after deducting the cost of living.Fall into a vicious circle of getting busier and poorer..

Third,Spiritual consumption demand will look for new exports. The degradation of consumption has prompted people to change from luxury to simple life, and at the same time, some people have begun to seek ways of inner peace, such as obtaining spiritual comfort through cultural phenomena such as Dong Yuhui, Dao Lang and Li Ziqi.

Fourth,The aggravation of aging and the shortage of young labor force have formed a situation of "green and yellow".With China stepping into a deeply aging society, the fertility rate of post-80s and post-90s declined, which led to the problem of human resources gap in traditional industries. How to inherit and develop it has become an urgent problem.

Fifth,The development of AI technology has impacted traditional entities.Although AI has improved efficiency, it has also accelerated the elimination process of some industries, especially those traditional industries and manufacturing industries that have been hit by e-commerce, facing unprecedented survival challenges.

Sixth,The phenomenon of "hollowing out" may appear in big cities.Over the past few decades,"dream of entering the city"It attracts countless migrant workers and young people to flood into cities, but now the high cost of living and uncertain career prospects force many people to choose to leave, leading to the gradual decline of urban vitality.

Seventh,The employment situation may deteriorate further.Factors such as the global economic slowdown and trade frictions may lead to an increase in layoffs, and the responsibility for creating jobs is difficult to be borne by only a few surviving small enterprises and individual operators, especially in the face of the surge in the number of college graduates.The job market in 2025 will be even more severe.

To sum up, China’s economic and social development in 2025 will face many uncertainties, but it will also have the opportunity to meet the challenges and realize transformation and development through policy adjustment and technological innovation.

Interpretation of China-ASEAN Free Trade Area Agreement on Trade in Goods

  On November 29th, 2004, the 8th China-ASEAN Leaders’ Meeting was held in Vientiane, Laos. Under the witness of Premier Wen Jiabao and the leaders of the 10 ASEAN countries, the Minister of Commerce and the economic ministers of the 10 ASEAN countries jointly signed the China-ASEAN Framework Agreement on Comprehensive Economic Cooperation and the Agreement on Trade in Goods. On July 20th this year, the tax reduction plan of China-ASEAN Free Trade Area, the core content of the Agreement on Trade in Goods, was fully launched. This marks that the Agreement on Trade in Goods has officially entered the implementation stage, and also marks that the construction process of China-ASEAN Free Trade Area has been fully kicked off. In order to make readers have a more comprehensive understanding of the contents of the Agreement on Trade in Goods, grasp the specific arrangements of the construction process of China-ASEAN Free Trade Area, and make good use of the opportunities that the Free Trade Area will bring, this paper makes a general introduction to the Agreement.

  The Agreement on Trade in Goods is a legal document regulating the arrangement of tariff reduction and dealing with non-tariff measures in the trade in goods between China and ASEAN. It has 23 clauses and 3 annexes, mainly including tariff reduction and cancellation, revision of concessions, quantitative restrictions and non-tariff barriers, safeguard measures, accelerated implementation of commitments, general exceptions, security exceptions, institutional arrangements and deliberations.

  I. Classification of Free Trade Zone Products

  According to the Agreement on Trade in Goods, all products are divided into two categories: normal products and sensitive products, except for the early harvest products with tax reduction arrangements.

  In normal products, products are divided into two categories: first-track products and second-track products. What they have in common is that the final tax rate should be zero, but the difference is that the second-track products can enjoy certain flexibility in the time of canceling tariffs. Among the sensitive products, according to the degree of sensitivity, the products are subdivided into general sensitive products and highly sensitive products. What they have in common is that the final tax rate may not be zero, but the difference is that the general sensitive products will reduce their tariffs to a relatively low level after a period of time, while the highly sensitive products will eventually retain relatively high tariffs.

  The product classification of China-ASEAN Free Trade Area can be illustrated by the following table:

  

  Second, the tax reduction mode of normal products

  The negotiation of goods trade in China-ASEAN Free Trade Area adopts a "negativelist" mode, and all products that are not included in the list of sensitive products are regarded as normal products. Therefore, under the framework of China-ASEAN Free Trade Area, most products are normal products.

  The Agreement on Trade in Goods specifies in detail the mode of tariff reduction and elimination for normal products, among which the special and differential treatment for new ASEAN members is an important principle embodied in the Agreement. The main provisions are:

  (1) Tax reduction steps: For China and six ASEAN countries (old ASEAN members, namely Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore and Thailand), the normal products will be reduced in July 2005, and the tariffs will be reduced once on January 1, 2007 and January 1, 2009 respectively, and the tariffs will be finally reduced to zero on January 1, 2010; For the new members of ASEAN (Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar and Vietnam), the tariff will be reduced from July 2005, and the tariff will be reduced on January 1st every year from 2006 to 2009, and the tariff will not be reduced in 2010, and the tariff will be reduced every two years from 2011, and the tariff will be reduced to zero by 2015.

  (2) Starting tax rate for tax reduction: The Agreement on Trade in Goods classifies products according to their starting tax rate, and each category follows a certain tax reduction model, and finally the tariff is reduced to zero. Generally speaking, at present, products with higher tax rates have a larger tax reduction rate and a faster rate of reduction, while products with lower tariffs have a smaller tax reduction rate and a slower rate, which can ensure the steady tax reduction of all products. Compared with China and the old ASEAN members, the new ASEAN members have a finer product classification, a more gentle tax reduction, and a longer time from the beginning of tax reduction to the abolition of tariffs.

  (III) Normal products on Track 2: The tax reduction mode of normal products on Track 2 is exactly the same as that of normal products on Track 1. The only difference is that when the tariff of normal products on Track 2 is reduced to below 5% according to the tax reduction mode, the tariff can be kept at no more than 5%, and it will be zero later than that of normal products on Track 1. For China and six ASEAN countries, the tariffs on normal products on Track 2 should be abolished on January 1, 2012, and for new ASEAN members, the tariffs on normal products on Track 2 should be abolished on January 1, 2018. However, there are certain restrictions on the number of track two products. The track two products of China and six ASEAN countries shall not exceed 150 six-digit tax items, and the new ASEAN members shall not exceed 250 six-digit tax items.

  (four) the specific tax reduction model of normal products in various countries:

  1. China and six ASEAN countries.

  

  2. Vietnam

  

  3. Cambodia, Laos and Myanmar

  

  To sum up, the tariffs on track one normal products of China and six ASEAN countries should be abolished on January 1, 2010, and the tariffs on track two normal products should be finally abolished before January 1, 2012. The tariffs on normal products of Track 1 of new ASEAN members should be abolished on January 1, 2015, and the tariffs on normal products of Track 2 should be finally abolished before January 1, 2018.

  Tax reduction mode of sensitive products

  (I) Types of Sensitive Products Sensitive products are products that need to be protected for the development of domestic industries. It has certain particularity, and it takes a long time to reduce taxes, and the final tax rate cannot be zero, but it should be kept at a certain tariff level. According to the Agreement on Trade in Goods, sensitive products can be divided into general sensitive products and highly sensitive products according to their sensitivity. China put forward a list of sensitive products for the ten ASEAN countries, which is also applicable to the ten countries; Ten ASEAN countries put forward their own lists of sensitive products for China, and the listed sensitive products are only applicable to China.

  In China-ASEAN Free Trade Area, each party has put forward different sensitive products according to its own situation. China’s sensitive products mainly include rice, natural rubber, palm oil, some chemicals, digital TV, plates and paper products. ASEAN countries have put forward sensitive products such as rubber products, plastic products, ceramic products, some textiles and clothing, steel products, some household appliances, automobiles and motorcycles.

  (II) Upper Limit of Sensitive Products According to the Agreement on Trade in Goods, sensitive products are subject to two indicators, namely, the number of tax items and the import amount. In other words, the number of sensitive products cannot exceed a certain tax item, and the import amount affected by sensitive products of one party cannot exceed a certain proportion of the total import of that party, but the agreement also makes special arrangements for new members of ASEAN. The upper limit of sensitive products in each country is as follows: 1. China and six ASEAN countries: the number shall not exceed 400 (six tax items), and the import value shall not exceed 10% of the total import value (based on the data in 2001).

  2. Cambodia, Laos and Myanmar: The number does not exceed 500 (six tax items), and there is no import ceiling.

  3. Vietnam: The number shall not exceed 500 (six-digit tax items), and there is no upper limit for import, but Vietnam shall reduce the tariffs on sensitive products to a certain extent within the specified time.

  (III) Tax reduction mode of sensitive products Generally, the tax reduction mode of sensitive products is different from that of highly sensitive products. Generally, the final tax rate of sensitive products is lower than that of highly sensitive products because of their low sensitivity, but the number of highly sensitive products is also subject to certain constraints.

  1. Tax reduction mode for general sensitive products: (1) China and six ASEAN countries: reduced to 20% on January 1, 2012, and further reduced to below 5% on January 1, 2018.

  (2) Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, and Vietnam: it was reduced to 20% on January 1, 2015, and further reduced to less than 5% on January 1, 2020.

  2. Tax reduction mode of highly sensitive products: China and six ASEAN countries should reduce the tariff of highly sensitive products to less than 50% on January 1, 2015, but the number of highly sensitive products should not exceed 100 six-digit tax items.

  The new ASEAN members should reduce the tariffs on highly sensitive products to less than 50% on January 1, 2018, but the number of highly sensitive products in Vietnam should not exceed 150 six-digit tariff items, and Cambodia, Laos and Myanmar should not exceed 150 six-digit tariff items.

  Rules of origin

  Rules of origin are the yardstick to determine the "identity" of products. The rules of origin of China-ASEAN Free Trade Area are based on "value-added standards". According to the Agreement on Trade in Goods, if the value-added of local processing of a product is not less than 40% of the total value of the product, the product can be considered as a product originating from China-ASEAN Free Trade Area and enjoy the preferential tax rate of the free trade area in import and export trade. Because the early harvest products are mainly agricultural products, the criterion of "complete acquisition" is basically adopted. A few products with special circumstances, such as textiles and wool products, adopt other methods of origin determination, such as processing procedures and tax number change.

  At present, the certificate of origin of China-ASEAN Free Trade Area uses FormE, which is different from the format of WTO certificate of origin. In China, it is issued by the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine and local inspection and quarantine departments. With this certificate, you can enjoy the preferential tariffs of China-ASEAN Free Trade Area at customs clearance.

  safeguard measure

  Trade remedy measures are the "safety valves" of import and export trade, mainly including anti-dumping, countervailing and safeguard measures. The Agreement on Trade in Goods stipulates that the anti-dumping and countervailing measures of China-ASEAN Free Trade Area shall be subject to the relevant provisions of WTO. However, in terms of safeguard measures, in order to ensure that their domestic industries are not seriously affected, the agreement stipulates safeguard measures for the free trade zone, allowing all parties to adopt them when necessary.

  The main content of safeguard measures in China-ASEAN Free Trade Area is that when the domestic production department of a product suffers substantial damage or threat of material injury due to the surge of imports from within China-ASEAN Free Trade Area, a contracting party may initiate safeguard measures and raise tariffs on products from China-ASEAN Free Trade Area. However, in order to avoid abuse of safeguards, the agreement also stipulates the restrictive conditions for each party to use safeguards. First, as far as specific products are concerned, the time limit for the use of safeguard measures is within five years from the date when the product starts to reduce taxes to the date when the product reduces taxes; Second, one implementation period shall not exceed three years, and the extension period shall not exceed one year; Third, the tariff rate for implementing safeguard measures shall not be higher than the MFN tariff rate for this product when taking safeguard measures; Fourthly, FTZ safeguard measures should not be used at the same time as WTO safeguard measures. The formulation of these rules, on the one hand, ensures the right of members to use safeguard measures, on the other hand, maintains the normal trade order.

  Quantitative restrictions and non-tariff barriers

  According to the Agreement on Trade in Goods, each contracting party should not keep any quantitative restrictions, and non-WTO contracting parties should gradually lift their quantitative restrictions. At the same time, all parties should determine their remaining non-tariff barriers as soon as possible and gradually abolish them. This provision is of great significance to effectively ensure the degree of self-ownership of China-ASEAN Free Trade Area.

  Recognize China’s market economy status

  In Article 14 of the Agreement on Trade in Goods, the ten ASEAN countries explicitly recognized that China is a complete market economy, and promised not to apply Articles 15 (anti-dumping substitute pricing clause) and 16 (special safeguard measures clause) of the Protocol on People’s Republic of China (PRC)’s accession to the World Trade Organization and paragraph 242 (special textile safeguard clause) of the Report of the Working Party on China’s accession to the World Trade Organization to China. This provision is of special significance to China, which not only strives for a fair and just trade competition environment for Chinese enterprises in the free trade zone, but also plays a good exemplary role in promoting other countries in the world to recognize China’s market economy status.

  Other issues

  The Agreement on Trade in Goods stipulates that all parties shall abide by the relevant provisions of the WTO in terms of technical barriers to trade, sanitary and phytosanitary measures and intellectual property agreements. The provisions of WTO multilateral trade in goods that are not specifically mentioned or amended in other agreements shall be applicable to China-ASEAN Free Trade Area after being amended. The agreement also provides for transparency standards, accelerated tax reduction arrangements, general exceptions, security exceptions, and related procedures and institutional arrangements.

  The Agreement on Trade in Goods is a landmark agreement between China and ASEAN. Its achievement and implementation laid the foundation and paved the way for the comprehensive construction of China-ASEAN Free Trade Area. We should fully understand this agreement, seize the new opportunities arising from the FTA, and make new efforts to deepen and develop mutually beneficial and win-win cooperation with ASEAN countries.

Forward it to everyone! How does the course of influenza change?

There are many respiratory diseases in children in winter, among which influenza virus is one of the common pathogens. What are the typical symptoms of influenza? How does the flu spread and how long is the incubation period of the flu?

1. What are the typical symptoms of influenza?
Children infected with influenza virus can show fever, chills, headache, myalgia and other general malaise, often accompanied by respiratory diseases, such as cough, sore throat and runny nose.
The degree of fever in young children may be heavier, and some children may also have febrile convulsions; In addition, they will have more gastrointestinal symptoms, such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and poor appetite.
A very small number of children infected with influenza may develop into severe influenza, causing laryngitis, pneumonia, encephalopathy, myocarditis and so on.

2. How does the flu spread and how long is the incubation period?
Influenza virus can spread from person to person through respiratory droplets (such as sneezing, coughing and talking) or after polluting the surface of objects.
Influenza viruses can also spread through small air particles released by influenza patients when they breathe. Influenza patients are the main source of infection.
The incubation period of influenza is generally 1~7 days, and most of them are 2~4 days.

3. How long is the general course of influenza and what is the change of the course?
For children without basic diseases, the course of influenza virus infection is acute and self-limited, and most symptoms disappear within 2~3 days after onset. Some children’s fever lasts for 5 days, and most of them recover within 1 week. However, cough may last for a long time, and the fatigue of a few older children (over seven or eight years old) may last for several weeks.

4. How to distinguish the flu from the common cold?
The full name of the flu is called "influenza", and you may think it is similar to the common cold, but the flu and the common cold cannot be confused.
The common cold can be caused by many pathogens, among which viruses are the most common, including rhinovirus, adenovirus, metapneumovirus, bocavirus, etc. Bacteria and mycoplasma can also cause the common cold.
The symptoms of the common cold are mild, usually low-to-moderate fever, which lasts for 1-2 days, and may be accompanied by symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, stuffy nose and slight cough, while systemic symptoms such as chills, headache and joint muscle pain are very mild. Generally, there are no serious complications.
Influenza is mainly caused by influenza A and B virus infection, with high fever, shivering, headache, joint muscle pain and other systemic symptoms. A few influenza patients may have complications such as rhabdomyolysis, pneumonia, encephalitis and encephalopathy.
In the flu season, children with flu-like symptoms, especially those with a history of contact with influenza patients, should first consider influenza virus infection, which can be diagnosed by influenza virus antigen detection or influenza virus nucleic acid detection. (Healthy China)

Movie history box office Top5! The number of people watching movies in Ne Zha broke the 100 million mark

Recently, Ne Zha, an animated film with high reputation, released the manuscript of character setting again, showing the audience the multi-version design concept maps of characters such as Ao Bing, Shen Gongbao, Taiyi Zhenren, Li Jing, Yin Fu, etc., in addition to the hundred-version Nezha. Since its release, the film has broken many records and won the support and recognition of countless audiences. At the box office, the film won the single-day box office champion for 18 consecutive days, breaking 3.6 billion, ranking fifth in the total box office list of China film history. Although it was only released in the mainland, it became the highest-grossing non-Hollywood animated film in the world. In terms of the number of people watching movies, the total number of people watching movies has exceeded 100 million, making it the third movie with 100 million people watching movies and the first animated movie with 100 million people in China film market. In word of mouth, it has been ranked as Top1 in the same period and has become the highest-rated animated film in the past 30 years. Up to now, the film Ne Zha has been on the hot search for nearly 70 times, which has been hotly debated by the whole people.

"Never forgets anything" role design, high standard, "sound first, then shape" and intentional dubbing

The film’s praise and recognition can’t be separated from the director jiaozi and his team’s efforts in characterization. It can be seen from this manuscript of character setting that apart from the 100-edition Nezha design, all the characters, including Ao Bing, Shen Gongbao and Li Jing, have gone through many versions of attempts and efforts to select the most suitable characters. It is reported that director jiaozi revealed that the role image of the film was jointly participated by many excellent designers, and it took more than a year to finalize and strive for perfection. In addition, each character also pursues the most unique effect in personality setting. For example, the two roles of Li Jing and Mrs. Yin in the film were initially divided into "extroversion" and "introversion", but this has never been able to "poke" the director jiaozi’s heart. After many attempts, the director jiaozi chose to switch their personalities, which led to Li Jing, who broke through the traditional "strict father" and loved her son deeply, and Mrs. Yin, who changed her previous husband and taught her children and was independent and courageous, which left a deep impression on the audience and was hotly debated.

In addition to the character image and personality setting, the film Ne Zha also made a lot of efforts in the process of character production. In order to match the role and dubbing, director jiaozi spent more than a year searching for the most suitable dubbing team. At the same time, the film adopts a rare process of dubbing first and then making. The dubbing actor imagines dubbing according to the story content without filming, and finally the animator makes animation according to the dubbing picture. Although this dubbing change has doubled the production time, it has also achieved a more realistic dubbing effect. Jiaozi, the director, said that every character was created with the aim of making the audience "unforgettable", hoping that a series of intentions, such as design, dubbing and production, would make the audience really like every "flesh-and-blood" character.

Tens of millions of viewers helped director Guo Man of Conscience draw every poster that broke 100 million yuan.

With only one mainland market, the film Ne Zha has successfully topped the list of non-Hollywood animated films with the highest box office in the world. The outstanding achievements of the film so far are closely related to every audience behind it who helps the growth of high-quality domestic animation. After thousands of advanced screenings in the country, the audience gave full praise to the film on the platform, and independently created fan paintings, handicrafts, expression packs and other "brain-opening" fan works to express their love for the film. After the official release, some loyal audiences actively interacted with Guan Wei every day, brushing five or even more films, and supporting Guo Man with actions; Millions of viewers even made various types of new content in the form of Nezha’s imitation makeup and Nezha’s dubbing, which helped the film spread. The number of related videos played exceeded 15 billion times, setting off several rounds of Nezha craze.

With the help and support of millions of viewers, the film Ne Zha not only broke the box office record of 1.53 billion animated films held by Zootopia for three years, but also broke the box office record of 3.6 billion, ranking in the Top5 of the total box office list of film history. In the face of the support and love of the audience all the way, director jiaozi expressed his gratitude by hand-painting the poster of Billion Dollars. At present, director jiaozi has painted 36 billion-dollar posters in 18 days. Each billion-dollar poster has expanded the content of the film twice in the form of a "small theater", which is full of heart. The director bluntly said that the achievements made by the film were completely unexpected at the beginning, and he was very grateful to the audience for their tolerance and love for Nezha. It is pressure and motivation to get so many compliments since the release, and I will "go all out" to make the next better work and give back to the audience.

As the first domestic animated film of IMAX, Ne Zha was jointly launched by Striped House Film (Big Fish Begonia), Cocoa Bean Animation (Fight, Fight a Big Watermelon) and October Culture (Return of the Great Sage). The film is being shown all over the country.

How was Burning Wild made to fill the gaps in domestic musical films?

Author | Wang Banxian Remains

"If I don’t shoot again, I may lose my passion."

After the year of "knowing the destiny", director Zhang Yibai, who is nearly 60 years old, calmlyOn Entertainment Capital (ID:yulezibenlun)Tell me why I insist on making the musical "The Sky of Burning Wild Boys" (hereinafter referred to as "Burning Wild").

As we all know, musicals are difficult to shoot, especially in China. Looking back at the rapid development of China film market for so many years, the large-scale sci-fi films have stood up, and the original Guo Man has also stood up, but the musical films have never been there.

Among the musical films shown in China, the highest box office is Beauty and the Beast by Disney Starlight Glimmer, which is only 590 million yuan. Only one of the top five films at the box office was directed by China. In 2013, Love on the Roof, directed and performed by Jay Chou, earned 119 million yuan at the box office. After Jay Chou’s setbacks, almost no one dared to try this type again. Until the appearance of Burning Wild today.

Undeniably, its appearance has indeed filled the gap of musical films in China film market, and it may also become a pioneer to lead musical films to stand up in China film market.

For director Zhang Yibai, it is his own dream to make musical films. This dream has been planted since the first day he entered the industry and started filming MV. This time, he jumped up with his own blood and passion, regardless of income and calculation.

"If I don’t shoot, I won’t have passion."

"A martial arts film and a musical film are the dreams of many directors." Zhang Yibai said.

After three years of preparation, the dream of Burning Wild finally came true.Zhang Yibai insisted on directly stating "Youth Song and Dance Movie" on the poster, which was unabashed and undisguised, like a gamble. Zhang Yibai himself admitted: "I don’t know whether to win or lose this film. I can count other movies, but this one can’t count. "

In fact, when Zhang Yibai first bought the original novel The Sky of Crazy Dog Boys, the story was about running. The story of a group of young people running together for a girl’s dream sounds youthful and passionate, but it’s a little too simple for Zhang Yibai. "Everyone can imagine what it will be like."

"Humans don’t climb from the ground, to walk upright, to run, and then eager to fly? I just wonder if I can jump. " Looking back on his creative career, Zhang Yibai thinks that he has run enough since "Carry Love to the End", and now it’s time to jump. "Maybe I will fall, maybe I will cross out, but if I don’t jump, I will run forever."

So, Zhang Yibai turned this story into a dance.

Only in the process of preparing this project, Zhang Yibai and screenwriter Li Zelin talked about Chongqing No.29 Middle School and found that they were both alumni of this school. So I quickly decided to use Chongqing 29 as the background, and incorporated some stories of them who went to middle school in the 1980s, and made a play, which is "The Sky of Wind Dog Teenagers" (hereinafter referred to as "Wind Dog").

In the end, Wind Dog uses the name of the novel, and Burning Wild uses the characters in the novel. From the wind dog to the wild burning, from running to dancing, from the post-1990 s to the post-2000 s, a novel gave birth to two completely different stories.

In Burning Wild, the story turns into a group of young people who have accomplished nothing. In order to help a girl called "salted fish" realize her dream, everyone begins to learn to dance. This is something they have never tried and cannot do, but they did it without considering the consequences.

"What is beyond our power has its own dramatic factors." Zhang Yibai took a fancy to this. Because now the whole shooting process of Burning Wild is also an attempt that Zhang Yibai seems unable to do.

As we all know, musicals are not easy to shoot. "Musical film is an extremely contradictory type. On the one hand, it doesn’t have such a big market, on the other hand, it is a type that needs considerable investment." In fact, Zhang Yibai knew the risks long ago. Actor training, special effects technology, costume modeling, music and dance are not simple, let alone cheap.

But in Zhang Yibai’s mind, it must be done. Not only from his dream for many years, but also from the consideration of the development of China film market. Because no one will do it, China films will never know where the market boundary of musical films is and how much the audience accepts them.

"With the development of China society and the acceptance of song and dance culture by young people in China, the market for song and dance films may not be as bad as we thought." Zhang Yibai still has some confidence in his more open and inclusive attitude. For example, young people like many variety shows in the form of songs and dances very much.

"Maybe in five, ten or twenty years, musicals will become a very important type of China film market." Zhang Yibai didn’t want to regret it at that time. He could only tell his younger generation on crutches or in a wheelchair that he was born at a bad time. So he wants to shoot, and he wants to shoot when he wants to shoot most.

But the distance between dream and reality is far away. What way does Burning Wild have to go from an idea to a film?

What are the key elements of a musical?

Bright colors, fresh faces, inspirational stories …

Although they are different types of film and television works, Burning Wild and Dog in the Wind have the same youthful temperament of Grade 2. This continuity comes from the creative team, directed by Zhang Yibai and Han Yan, and the lineup of Li Zelin’s screenwriter has been completely preserved from Dog in the Wind to Burning Wild.

However, this time, Zhang Yibai devoted more efforts to Burning Wild, which is different from the practice of mainly controlling heavy scenes in Wind Dog. "Burning Wild was basically shot by both of us on the spot, and I will have many creative and film temperament ideas. Director Han spent a lot of energy in the communication, preparation and later stage of the crew."

A team of trust and tacit understanding has been established, which enables Zhang Yibai to concentrate on thinking: How can he make a musical?

Song and dance are naturally the most important elements. After Zhang Yadong, a well-known producer, was appointed as the music director to compose music for the film, Zhang Yibai continued to search for suitable choreographers all over the world. This process was not easy, unlike the professional musicians in the film and television field, there were no dancers specializing in choreographing film and television works in China.

As luck would have it, Zhang Yibai met his dream "dance" on the Japanese street.

"In the sunset, a group of female high school students are dancing in the playground of the campus. When I saw this Japanese promotional film of" The King of Circus "on the TV set of the record store, I felt that this was the dance form of the youth musical I wanted, and akane was the choreographer I wanted."

On the day of meeting akane, Zhang Yibai took the Shinkansen from Tokyo to Osaka. A group of people reached a consensus in the underground bar and decided to do it together. For Zhang Yibai, "At this time, our musical really started."

However, should the protagonist of a musical choose a dancer or an actor?

The answer given in Burning Wild is: the heroine Xiao Huang is a dancer with 0 acting experience, while the hero Lao Gou is an actor with 0 dancing experience. The supporting roles in the film are completely based on the characters in the original Burning Wild.

In Zhang Yibai’s mind, Peng Yuchang is an old dog, and this role belongs to him, while the heroine Xiao Huang has gone through a long casting, because according to the plot setting, Xiao Huang must have dancing skills and be very lively in image and character.

"At that time, during the epidemic, I chatted with Xu Enyi across the screen, and we felt that she was very much like Ryoko Hirosue in those days, energetic and lovely." Zhang Yibai shared a detail with Xiaoye. "During the video, we wanted her to stand up and look at the whole body, so she got off the bus. There was a railing next to the car, and Xu Enyi jumped over the railing with a light jump. At that time, I gave several glances to each other with Director Han, thinking that she was Xiao Huang of Burning Wild."

However, when a new actor with zero experience was launched, Zhang Yibai was also drumming, and Peng Yuchang was not so relieved. When Xu Enyi filmed on the first day, Peng Yuchang also came to the scene to watch, but after watching it, he stopped worrying.

"I actually didn’t realize until noon that day that this was the first time that this little girl appeared, walked and said lines in her life, but I didn’t feel that she was a complete newcomer when I filmed it. I can only say that she was born to play this play."

Including Xu Enyi, these different actors have different dance levels. In order to meet the shooting of musical films, they must be trained in groups in advance, and the process of practicing dance is actually a process of cultivating feelings among actors.

"The teacher who trained them to dance is actually very strict, telling them to leave if they can’t dance well, so the actors have established a deep feeling and helped each other to cheer." For youth films, the intimate relationship and physical reaction between young actors can be directly perceived by the audience through the lens.

The story of youth can’t be separated from campus, and Burning Wild is a youth film. In the process of filming, the creative team traveled to hundreds of schools in Hainan, and finally felt that Huaxing Middle School, the alma mater of screenwriter Li Zelin, was the most suitable.

"In fact, the school didn’t want to receive us at all, but we tried our best to be rejected again and again, and tried again and again. Finally, they welcomed us in." The final campus scene presented by the film is very fresh in visual effect.

Here, the creative team, music and dance, actors and scenes are all available. Burning Wild, as a musical film, officially started shooting, and Zhang Yibai encountered many unexpected and unexpected difficulties.

How difficult is "Burning Wild" groped from 0?

"No one has done this, and we have no reference. Everything before shooting is an idea, and every step after shooting is to touch the stone."

This sentence by Zhang Yibai can sum up the difficulty of Burning Wild as a musical: no one knows how to shoot it correctly.

First of all, in the integration of plot and song and dance, if we refer to the practice of Broadway musicals or Indian musicals, song and dance need to participate in the film narrative, and the starring actors will use song and dance to talk and interact in the process of plot advancement. In the whole film Burning Wild, only the parts of "Rainbow Dance" and "Weed Dance" are added to the narrative.

"This balance is actually elusive. It is definitely difficult to copy the experience of others. We are exploring how to integrate the emotions and stories of young people in China with songs and dances. Burning Wild only has this song and dance narrative fragment, and we dare not exaggerate it. I hope to see the audience’s acceptance from this step."

Therefore, most of the songs and dances of Burning Wild bear the function of emotional contagion. For example, when the heroine Xiao Huang misses her mother, the film shows Xiao Huang’s inner loneliness with a solo dance in the moonlight. The cooperation of music and dance can amplify the emotional appeal and make the audience resonate with the characters. At the end, a group of young people danced together on the offshore platform, showing the burning and blood of youth.

These emotional clips have been polished over and over again. Zhang Yibai revealed to Xiaoye that both music and dance are constantly being overthrown and modified, especially the dance can only be taught remotely because the choreographer akane can’t come to China, and the dancers designated by the choreographer train the actors in China.

However, unlike what the outside world thinks, musicals need actors to dance very well. On the contrary, Zhang Yibai wants them to "jump a little rough".

"This is a youth film, and it is set that those who can’t dance will complete a’ miracle’ story together, so I sometimes feel wrong when I see dancers dancing too well, so during the filming process, I will continue to let those very professional dancers dance more clumsily and have more youthful flavor and strength."

Because singing and dancing serve the plot, not to show off their skills.

It is precisely because of this creative vigilance that Zhang Yibai also gave up the shooting techniques in many dance variety shows. "We actually designed a shot with a’ whew’ that turned particularly dazzling, but later I felt that I didn’t want it, because this story is about the dance and growth of a group of people, and personal dazzling skills are contrary to what the film is about."

In the process of film editing, Zhang Yibai gave up many dazzling shots without hesitation, but other song and dance clips made him hesitate and difficult to decide.

"Because past experience can’t help you, it’s impossible to accurately judge whether there are more songs and dances or fewer songs and dances, and you can’t ask the audience every time you cut them," Zhang Yibai said. There was a song and dance that was repeatedly taken down and put on, and it was tangled back and forth countless times. "Before I cut the film, I watched it on a small computer screen. Later, when I watched it on the projection, the weed dance in the classroom directly shocked me and decided to put it on."

The final piece of song and dance accounted for one-third of the film’s duration. However, some regrets were only realized after the production was completed, because Burning Wild tells the story of a group of young people, so the solo in the film is only the one under Xiao Huangyue. In the interview, Zhang Yibai felt that there should be another solo, and the story and mood of the film will be more complete and full.

But all regrets and attempts will be reserved for the next experience, and the creative team will not hesitate to share these experiences. Zhang Yibai told Xiaoyu: "Our founders are now sharing creative stories on Zhihu."

Perhaps, as Zhang Yibai said, he is 70 years old and 80 years old after 20 years, and domestic musical films have become a mature category. At that time, Burning Wild, as the forerunner of the category, left valuable experience for the film industry in song and dance creation, shooting and post-production.

As a pioneer in the industry, Zhang Yibai will always recall his own "burning wild youth" this time.

First, the only way to develop China and stabilize China

  The road problem is the first problem that concerns the success or failure of the party’s cause, and the road is the life of the party. In the long-term practice and exploration, our party and people persisted in taking their own road independently, won great victories in revolutionary construction and reform, created and developed Socialism with Chinese characteristics, and fundamentally changed the future and destiny of the people of China and the Chinese nation. History and practice show us that only socialism can save China and only Socialism with Chinese characteristics can develop China. Socialism with Chinese characteristics is the banner of unity, endeavor and victory for the people of the Communist Party of China (CPC) and China, and it is the fundamental direction for the development and progress of contemporary China.

  1. Socialism with Chinese characteristics is the conclusion of history and the choice of the people.

  Rivers and Wan Li always have sources, and trees are high and thousands of feet also has roots. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out: "Socialism with Chinese characteristics did not fall from the sky, but was a fundamental achievement made by the party and the people at all costs." Socialism with Chinese characteristics was initiated in the new period of reform and opening up, and it was also based on the long-term struggle of our party for more than 90 years, and the source of his thought, theory and practice can be traced back to further. It has been almost 500 years since the socialist thought was put forward. From this long historical process to study Socialism with Chinese characteristics, we can see the development of his thoughts more clearly and fully understand Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s historical inevitability and scientific truth.

  The five hundred years of socialism have gone through the process from fantasy to science, from theory to practice, from practice in one country to development in many countries. In January, 2013, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader made a systematic review of the 500-year history of socialism in six time periods in his speech at the seminar on studying and implementing the spirit of the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China for new members and alternate members of the Central Committee, showing the historical origin and development process of Socialism with Chinese characteristics.

  In the first period, utopian socialism came into being and developed. Utopia, the pioneering work of utopian socialism, was published by British Moore in 1516. This book profoundly exposes the tragic scene in the process of primitive accumulation of capitalism, and at the same time depicts an ideal society without exploitation and equality for all. Since then, until the first half of the 19th century, influential utopian socialists have included German peasant war leader Muenzer, Italian Campanella, British Digging Movement leader Weinstein Lai, France’s Morelli and mably, among whom the most important are the great utopian socialist thinkers in the third day of the 19th century-France’s Saint-Simon, Fourier and Britain’s Owen. Utopian socialists expose the evils of capitalist society, criticize all the foundations of the capitalist system, demonstrate the inevitability and rationality of the future society replacing capitalism, and put forward some positive opinions and valuable guesses for the future society. However, their common limitation is their idealistic view of history, and they can’t find the right way and social force to realize their social ideals.

  In the second period, Marx and Engels established the theoretical system of scientific socialism. In the mid-19th century, with the continuous development of capitalist socialized mass production, the working class stepped onto the historical stage as an independent political force. Marx and Engels deeply investigated the economic, political and social conditions of capitalism, critically inherited the rational components of German classical philosophy, British classical political economy and utopian socialism in France and Britain, founded historical materialism and surplus value theory, and put socialist thought on these two theoretical cornerstones, thus making socialism realize a great leap from utopian to scientific. Scientific socialism profoundly reveals the historical inevitability of the emergence, development and demise of capitalism and the replacement of capitalism by communism, and makes scientific predictions and assumptions on the development process, development direction and general characteristics of the future socialist society. Of course, Marx and Engels’ ideas about the future socialist society are mainly theoretical, and how to put them into practice remains to be answered by future generations.

  In the third period, Lenin led the victory of the October Revolution and practiced socialism. At the beginning of the 20th century, Lenin combined the basic principles of Marxism with Russia’s concrete reality, creatively put forward the theory that socialism may win first in one country or several countries, led the October Revolution to success, established the first socialist country in the world, and made socialism realize a great leap from theory to practice. After the victory of the October Revolution, there was no precedent for how to build socialism. Lenin made in-depth thinking and hard exploration. In view of the problems exposed by the implementation of the wartime communist policy from the second half of 1918 to the spring of 1921, Lenin made a profound reflection, put forward a new economic policy and made a profound adjustment to the wartime communist policy.

  In the fourth period, the Soviet model was gradually formed. After Lenin’s death, Stalin gradually formed an economic and political system with a single means of production, a mandatory planned economy and a high concentration of power in leading the socialist construction in the Soviet Union. The Soviet model promoted the rapid economic and social development of the Soviet Union under specific historical conditions, and also played an important role in winning the anti-fascist war for the Soviet army and people. However, due to the lack of respect for economic laws, as time goes by, its disadvantages are increasingly exposed, which has become a serious institutional obstacle to economic and social development. After entering the 1980s, faced with the difficulties of economic and social development, the Soviet Union and Eastern European countries also wanted to make some adjustments. However, under the powerful offensive of the West and other forces, this adjustment deviated from the right direction, which finally led to drastic changes in Eastern European countries in 1989, and the disintegration of the Soviet Union and the dissolution of the CPSU in 1991 caused great twists and turns in world socialism.

  In the fifth period, our party’s exploration and practice of socialism after the founding of New China. Our party is the second to lead the socialist revolution and construction in a big country. After the founding of New China, the party’s first generation of central collective leadership with Comrade Mao Zedong at the core led the whole party and people of all nationalities in China to creatively carry out socialist transformation and establish a basic socialist system on the basis of rapidly healing the wounds of war and restoring the national economy. However, how to build socialism in China is a brand-new task facing the Party. At first, we could only learn from the experience of the Soviet Union, but in practice, our party soon realized the limitations of the Soviet model and proposed to learn from the Soviet Union and independently explore the road of socialist construction suited to China’s national conditions. With Comrade Mao Zedong’s "On Ten Major Relationships" and "On Correctly Handling Contradictions among the People" as the main symbols, our Party has a new and important understanding of how to build socialism. In later practice, due to the Party’s "Left" mistakes in guiding ideology, many correct ideas about socialist construction were not implemented, and even a global and long-term serious mistake like the "Cultural Revolution" occurred, which made our Party suffer serious setbacks in the process of exploring socialism. Although the exploration is arduous and bumpy, the positive achievements made by our party are extremely valuable, which provides valuable experience, theoretical preparation and material foundation for creating Socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new historical period.

  In the sixth period, our party made a historic decision to carry out reform and opening up, and initiated and developed Socialism with Chinese characteristics. After the downfall of the Gang of Four, especially after the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee, the second generation of the Party’s central collective leadership with Comrade Deng Xiaoping at the core re-established the ideological line of emancipating the mind and seeking truth from facts, completely negated the wrong theory and practice of "taking class struggle as the key link", put forward reform and opening up with great political and theoretical courage, and clearly put forward the important theoretical and practical issues of what socialism is and how to build it. In 1982, Comrade Deng Xiaoping issued a resounding call at the Twelfth National Congress of the Communist Party of China: We should integrate the universal truth of Marxism with the concrete reality of our country, take our own road and build socialism with China characteristics. Through practical exploration, Comrade Deng Xiaoping answered a series of basic questions about how to build socialism, how to consolidate and develop socialism in a country with relatively backward economy and culture like China for the first time. He inherited and developed Marxism with new ideas and views, opened up a new realm of Marxism, raised his understanding of socialism to a new scientific level, founded Deng Xiaoping Theory and successfully created Socialism with Chinese characteristics. After the Fourth Plenary Session of the 13th CPC Central Committee, the party’s third-generation central collective leadership with Comrade Jiang Zemin at the core defended Socialism with Chinese characteristics in the face of the severe test of complicated domestic and international situation and serious twists and turns in world socialism.According to the new practice, we have established the Party’s basic program and experience, the reform goal and basic framework of the socialist market economic system, the basic economic system and distribution system in the primary stage of socialism, promoted the new great project of Party building, founded Theory of Three Represents, created a new situation of comprehensive reform and opening up, and successfully pushed Socialism with Chinese characteristics into the 21st century. In the new stage of the new century, the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Hu Jintao as the general secretary emphasizes people-oriented, comprehensive, coordinated and sustainable development, proposes to build a socialist harmonious society, accelerate the construction of ecological civilization, form the overall layout of Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s cause, focus on safeguarding and improving people’s livelihood, promote social fairness and justice, promote the construction of a harmonious world, and promote the construction of the party’s ruling ability and advanced nature, thus forming Scientific Outlook on Development and successfully upholding and developing Socialism with Chinese characteristics at a new historical starting point.

  Knowing the source and evolution of the world socialist thought and the historical development of Socialism with Chinese characteristics, we can understand how our party chose Marxism and the socialist road through repeated comparison and summary in the process of promoting revolution, construction and reform. How to combine the basic principles of Marxism with China’s reality and the characteristics of the times, and go its own way independently; How to create and develop Socialism with Chinese characteristics through hardships and various costs. The magnificent historical process of world socialism in the past 500 years tells us that Socialism with Chinese characteristics is the dialectical unity of the theoretical logic of scientific socialism and the historical logic of China’s social development, the historical conclusion and the people’s choice.

  2. Socialism with Chinese characteristics is composed of road, theoretical system and system.

  Socialism with Chinese characteristics is a close combination of practice, theory and system. He not only upgraded successful practice to theory, but also guided new practice with correct theory. He also upgraded the principles and policies that have achieved results in practice to the system of the party and the state in time, thus forming the Socialism with Chinese characteristics Road, theoretical system and system. Socialism with Chinese characteristics road is the way to realize, Socialism with Chinese characteristics theory system is the guide to action, and Socialism with Chinese characteristics system is the fundamental guarantee, which are unified in Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s great practice. In November, 2012, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out in his first collective study in the Political Bureau of the Central Committee that "Socialism with Chinese characteristics is special in its road, theoretical system and system, in its internal relations of realization approach, action guide and fundamental guarantee, and in its unification with Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s great practice".

  Socialism with Chinese characteristics Road is the only way to realize China’s socialist modernization and create a better life for the people. Socialism with Chinese characteristics Road not only insists on taking economic construction as the center, but also comprehensively promotes economic construction, political construction, cultural construction, social construction, ecological civilization construction and other aspects; Adhere to the four cardinal principles and reform and opening up; It not only emancipates and develops social productive forces, but also gradually realizes the common prosperity of all people and promotes the all-round development of people. This road is neither "traditional" nor "foreign" nor "westernized", but our "original creation" and a right path on earth. Only this road, and no other road, can lead China to progress and realize people’s well-being.

  Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s theoretical system is the latest achievement of Marxism in China, including Deng Xiaoping Theory, Theory of Three Represents and Scientific Outlook on Development. This theoretical system has written a "new version" of scientific socialism, which is a contemporary China Marxism deeply rooted in China and in line with the reality of China. It has a relationship of persistence, development, inheritance and innovation with Marxism–Leninism and Mao Zedong Thought. Marxism–Leninism and Mao Zedong Thought must not be lost. If they are lost, they will lose their roots. At the same time, we must focus on the practical problems of China’s reform, opening up and modernization, what we are doing, the application of Marxist theory, theoretical thinking on practical problems, new practice and new development. In contemporary China, adhering to Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s theoretical system means truly adhering to Marxism.

  The Socialism with Chinese characteristics system, which insists on organically combining the basic political system, the basic political system with the basic economic system, various institutional mechanisms and other specific systems, organically combining the democratic system at the national level with the grass-roots democratic system, and organically combining the party’s leadership, the people being the masters of the country, and governing the country according to law, conforms to China’s national conditions, not only adheres to the fundamental nature of socialism, but also draws lessons from the beneficial achievements of institutional construction at home and abroad, which embodies the characteristics and advantages of Socialism with Chinese characteristics, and is the fundamental institutional guarantee for China’s development and progress.

  It should be noted that the Socialism with Chinese characteristics system is distinctive and efficient, but it is not perfect and mature, and needs to be constantly improved. In 1992, Comrade Deng Xiaoping pointed out in his important talk on inspecting the south: "I’m afraid it will be another 30 years before we can form a set of more mature and stereotyped systems in all aspects." We should persist in theoretical innovation based on practice to promote institutional innovation, adhere to and improve the existing system, proceed from reality, formulate some new systems in time, and build a systematic, scientific, standardized and effective system, so as to make all aspects of the system more mature and stereotyped, and provide more effective institutional guarantee for winning new victories in Socialism with Chinese characteristics.

  3. Socialism with Chinese characteristics is socialism, not anything else.

  Socialism with Chinese characteristics is a scientific socialism rooted in the land of China, reflecting the wishes of China people and adapting to the development and progress of China and the times. If socialism is a magnificent and ups-and-downs symphony through the course of high tide and low tide, success and setbacks, then Socialism with Chinese characteristics is the colorful movement of this magnificent symphony.

  In his speech at the seminar on studying and implementing the spirit of the 18th CPC National Congress, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out: "Our Party has always emphasized that Socialism with Chinese characteristics not only adheres to the basic principles of scientific socialism, but also endows it with distinctive China characteristics according to the conditions of the times. That is to say, Socialism with Chinese characteristics is socialism, not anything else. " What kind of doctrine a country implements depends on whether this doctrine can solve the historical problems facing this country. During the period when the Chinese nation was poor and weak, all kinds of doctrines and ideological trends were tried, and the capitalist road did not work out. Reformism, liberalism, social Darwinism, anarchism, pragmatism, populism, and trade unionism all "you sing and I come on stage", but they failed to solve the future and destiny of China. It was Marxism–Leninism and Mao Zedong Thought who led the people of China out of the long night and established a new China. It was Socialism with Chinese characteristics who made China develop rapidly.

  Practice is the hardest standard, and how the road goes depends on the facts. Over the past 60 years since the founding of New China, especially over the past 30 years of reform and opening-up, China’s economic strength and comprehensive national strength have been greatly improved, people’s lives have been significantly improved, and its international status has been unprecedented. From 1979 to 2012, the gross domestic product grew at an average annual rate of 9.8%, much higher than the average annual growth rate of 2.8% in the world economy during the same period, and the total economic output jumped to the second place in the world, successfully achieving a leap from a low-income country to an upper-middle-income country. Such development and great changes are rare in the history of human development. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out: "China today is very different from China before the founding of New China and China after the Opium War!" Compared with some countries in Europe and America trapped in financial crisis and debt crisis, compared with some developing countries trapped in development trap, compared with some countries in West Asia, North Africa and political turmoil and social chaos, China’s development can be said to be unique in the scenery. Facts have eloquently proved that Socialism with Chinese characteristics has taken the right and good road.

  In recent years, some public opinions at home and abroad have questioned whether what China is doing is socialism or not. Some people say it is "capital socialism", while others simply say it is "state capitalism" and "new bureaucratic capitalism". These are all completely wrong. We say that Socialism with Chinese characteristics is socialism, that is, no matter how we reform and open up, we have always adhered to the Socialism with Chinese characteristics Road, Socialism with Chinese characteristics Theory System and Socialism with Chinese characteristics System, and adhered to the basic requirements put forward by the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China to win new victories in Socialism with Chinese characteristics. This includes adhering to the Four Cardinal Principles, persisting in reform and opening up, liberating and developing social productive forces, building socialist market economy, socialist democratic politics, advanced socialist culture, socialist harmonious society and socialist ecological civilization, promoting people’s all-round development, gradually realizing the common prosperity of all people, and building a prosperous, strong, democratic, civilized and harmonious socialist modern country under the leadership of the Communist Party of China. Including the basic political system of adhering to the people’s congress system, the system of multi-party cooperation and political consultation led by the Communist Party of China (CPC), the system of regional ethnic autonomy and the system of grass-roots mass autonomy, the socialist legal system with Chinese characteristics, the basic economic system with public ownership as the main body and the common development of various ownership economies. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out: "These are the contents that embody the basic principles of scientific socialism under the new historical conditions. If we lose these, it will not be socialism."

  "The elders who seek wood must consolidate their roots; Those who want to flow far away must dig their fountains. " It is not easy to find a good road, and it is even more difficult to take this road well. In the past, we copied the notebook, imitated others, experienced confusion and setbacks, hit a wall again and again, woke up again and again, practiced again and again, and made breakthroughs again and again, and finally embarked on a road to success in Socialism with Chinese characteristics. Now, some people talk about this road and that road, some want to pull back to the old road, and some want to lead to the wrong road; Some are misunderstandings and some have ulterior motives. Socialism with Chinese characteristics this road, we see, identified, we must unswervingly go on. We should learn from all the achievements of civilization created by human society with an open mind, but we should not forget our ancestors and copy the development models of other countries. We must always remain sober and firm, maintain a strong determination to move forward, neither take the old road of being closed and rigid, nor take the evil road of changing the flag, not be afraid of any risks, not be confused by any interference, and truly "persevere after thousands of blows, and let the east, west, north and south wind."

  4. Correctly understand the two decades before and after the reform and opening up.

  The road comes step by step. In December 2013, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out at the symposium to commemorate the 120th anniversary of Comrade Mao Zedong’s birth: "We must not forget the road we have traveled when we move forward; No matter how far you go, you can’t forget the past. " Marked by the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, our party leads the people in the practical exploration of socialist construction, which is mainly divided into two historical periods: before and after the reform and opening up.

  Some people are still vague about the relationship between the two historical periods before and after the reform and opening up. For example, some people think that China’s economic and social development has made great achievements in the past 30 years since the reform and opening up, and there have been mistakes such as the "Cultural Revolution" in the previous 30 years, so the last 30 years are used to deny the first 30 years. Some people think that there have been many new contradictions in China’s economic and social development since the reform and opening up, and even think that the Socialism with Chinese characteristics road we have taken has deviated from the socialist direction, so we use the first 30 years to deny the last 30 years. A correct understanding of the relationship between the two decades before and after the reform and opening up determines whether we can correctly evaluate the history of the Communist Party of China (CPC) for more than 90 years and New China for more than 60 years, which is related to the success or failure of Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s cause.

  On this issue of right and wrong, we should have a very clear and firm understanding. In his speech at the seminar on studying and implementing the spirit of the 18th CPC National Congress, the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out that "these are two interrelated and significantly different periods, but in essence they are all practical explorations of our party leading the people in socialist construction". Socialism with Chinese characteristics was created in the new historical period of reform and opening-up, but it was also created on the basis that the basic socialist system has been established in New China for more than 20 years. On how to correctly understand this issue, the Supreme Leader General Secretary made a profound exposition from three aspects.

  First, if our Party did not resolutely decide to implement reform and opening up in 1978, and unswervingly push forward reform and opening up, and unswervingly grasp the correct direction of reform and opening up, socialist China would not have such a good situation today, and it might face a serious crisis. At the same time, if the new China was not established in 1949 and socialist revolution and construction were carried out, important ideological, material and institutional conditions and positive and negative experiences were accumulated, it would be difficult for the reform and opening up to advance smoothly.

  Second, although there are great differences in ideological guidance, principles and policies and practical work in socialist construction between these two historical periods, they are by no means separated from each other, let alone fundamentally opposed. Many correct ideas put forward by the Party in the practice of socialist construction, although not really implemented at that time, have been really implemented after the reform and opening up, and will still be adhered to and developed in the future. Marx said long ago: "People create their own history, but they don’t create it at will, not under the conditions they choose, but under the conditions they meet directly, which are established and inherited from the past." We can’t use today’s conditions of the times, the level of development and the level of understanding to measure and demand our predecessors, and we can’t demand our predecessors to do what only future generations can do.

  Third, we should correctly evaluate the historical period before the reform and opening up, and we should not use the historical period after the reform and opening up to deny the historical period before the reform and opening up, nor can we use the historical period before the reform and opening up to deny the historical period after the reform and opening up. The exploration of socialist practice before the reform and opening up has accumulated conditions for the exploration of socialist practice after the reform and opening up, which is the persistence, reform and development of the previous period. To explore the socialist practice before the reform and opening up, we should adhere to the ideological line of seeking truth from facts, distinguish the mainstream from the tributaries, uphold the truth, correct mistakes, carry forward experience and learn lessons, and push forward the cause of the party and the people on this basis.

  Correctly understanding and handling the relationship between socialist practice and exploration before and after the reform and opening up is not only a historical issue, but also a political issue. The ancients said: "If you destroy a country, you must first go to its history." In recent years, hostile forces at home and abroad have often made a fuss about the revolutionary history of China and the history of new China, and tried their best to attack, vilify and slander. The fundamental purpose is to confuse people’s hearts and incite the overthrow of the Communist Party of China (CPC)’s leadership and China’s socialist system. If this major political issue is not handled well, it will have serious political consequences. Why did the Soviet Union disintegrate at the beginning? Why did the CPSU collapse? An important reason is to completely deny the history of the Soviet Union and the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, to deny Lenin and Stalin, to engage in historical nihilism, and to confuse thoughts.

  History is history, and history cannot be chosen arbitrarily. The history of a nation is the basis for a nation to settle down. No matter what twists and turns have occurred, no matter what hardships and difficulties have occurred, the history of civilization of the Chinese nation for more than 5,000 years, the history of struggle of China people for more than 170 years since modern times, the history of struggle of the Communist Party of China (CPC) for more than 90 years and the history of development of People’s Republic of China (PRC) for more than 60 years are all written by the people. Summing up and drawing lessons from history aims at learning from history and making better progress. To firmly establish a correct view of history, we must neither cut off history nor empty it. We must insist that the victory of the new-democratic revolution must not be lost, the achievements of the socialist revolution and construction must not be denied, and the direction of reform, opening up and socialist modernization must not be shaken.

  5. Continue to write this great article by Socialism with Chinese characteristics.

  Responsibility is more important than Mount Tai, and the cause has a long way to go. Socialism with Chinese characteristics is constantly developing and advancing, and it needs generations of the Communist Party of China (CPC) people to lead the people to continue their struggle. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out: "Upholding and developing Socialism with Chinese characteristics is a great article, and Comrade Deng Xiaoping has defined the basic ideas and principles for it. The third generation of the party’s central leading collective with Comrade Jiang Zemin at the core and the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Hu Jintao as the general secretary have written wonderful chapters on this great article. Now, the task of our generation of communist party people is to continue to write this big article. " This is the solemn declaration of the new central collective leadership.

  Socialism with Chinese characteristics is an unprecedented great cause, and the road ahead cannot be smooth sailing. After decades of theoretical and practical exploration, our understanding of socialism and our grasp of Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s laws have reached an unprecedented new height, which is beyond doubt. At the same time, we should also see that China’s socialism is still in the primary stage, and we still face many unclear problems and unsolved problems, and our understanding and handling of many major issues are still in the process of deepening, which is beyond doubt. It takes a process to understand things, but our understanding and grasp of socialism, which we have only been engaged in for decades, is still very limited. The more advanced and developed the cause, the more new situations and problems will be, the more risks and challenges will be faced, and the more unpredictable things will be faced. All these require us to explore boldly and deepen development in practice.

  In June, 2013, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader stressed in the seventh collective study in the Political Bureau of the Central Committee that in the face of the new requirements of the development of the cause of the party and the state, we should review the glorious course that the party and the people have gone through together, improve our understanding of upholding and developing Socialism with Chinese characteristics, and continue to push forward the cause of the party and the state under the new historical conditions.

  First, we must stick to our own path. No matter revolution, construction or reform, the road problem is the most fundamental problem. Combining the universal truth of Marxism with the concrete reality of our country and taking our own road is the basic conclusion that generations of the Communist Party of China (CPC) people emancipate their minds, seek truth from facts, keep pace with the times, go through difficulties and twists and turns, and make great sacrifices in the great practice of people creating history. The period of new democratic revolution came like this, the period of socialist revolution and construction came like this, and so did the new historical period of reform and opening up. The General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out: "Standing on the vast land of 9.6 million square kilometers, sucking the cultural nutrients accumulated by the long struggle of the Chinese nation, we have the majestic power of 1.3 billion China people to gather, and we go our own way, which has an incomparably broad stage, an incomparably profound historical heritage and an incomparably strong determination to move forward." After more than 30 years of exploration and practice, the people of China have found, adhered to and expanded the road of Socialism with Chinese characteristics. Now the most important thing is to unswervingly follow this road, keep pace with the times and expand this road, so as to promote the road of Socialism with Chinese characteristics to become wider and wider.

  Second, we must conform to the general trend of the world. "The trend of the world is vast. If you follow it, you will prosper, and if you go against it, you will die." Correctly handling the relationship between China and the world is a major issue concerning the success or failure of the Party’s cause. The birth of the Communist Party of China (CPC), the establishment of socialist China and the implementation of reform and opening up are all the results of conforming to the general trend of world development. How did the reform and opening up come about? The key point is that our party correctly judges the general trend of the world and establishes the understanding that peace and development are the themes of the times. Only with the shift of the work center of the party and the state can the new period of reform and opening up be opened. With the profound and complex changes in the world today and the unprecedented close contact and interaction between China and the world, it is even more important to pay close attention to the development and changes of the international situation, grasp the general trend of the world, coordinate the two overall situations at home and abroad, and grasp the initiative and win development in the trend of the times.

  Third, it must represent the fundamental interests of the overwhelming majority of the people. The reason why our Party has been supported and supported by the people for more than 90 years is fundamentally because it can always represent the fundamental interests of the overwhelming majority of the people in China, that is, it insists that the masses are real heroes, respects the people’s initiative, and mobilizes and organizes the people to devote themselves to the great cause led by the Party. Our party leads the people to fight local tyrants and divide the land, which is to fight for the fundamental interests of the people; Leading the people to carry out War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and drive away the Japanese aggressors is a struggle for the fundamental interests of the people; Leading the people to overthrow the Chiang family dynasty and establish a new China is a struggle for the fundamental interests of the people; Leading the people to carry out socialist revolution and construction and change the country’s poor and white appearance is to fight for the fundamental interests of the people; Leading the people to carry out reform and opening up and promote socialist modernization is also a struggle for the fundamental interests of the people. On the way forward, as long as our party always insists that the interests of the people are above everything else and closely relies on the people, it will always be invincible.

  Fourth, we must strengthen the party’s own construction. In all historical periods of revolution, construction and reform, our party attaches great importance to strengthening its own construction. While doing a good job in the daily work of Party building, we have successively carried out study and education practice activities such as rectification, party consolidation, "Three Stresses", Theory of Three Represents, the Party’s advanced nature, Scientific Outlook on Development and the Party’s mass line, which have played a very important role in maintaining the Party’s advanced nature and purity and improving its leadership and ruling ability. The development of the situation, the development of the cause and the expectations of the people all require us to comprehensively promote the new great project of party building with the spirit of reform and innovation and comprehensively improve the scientific level of party building. We should enhance our sense of urgency and responsibility, firmly grasp the general requirements of Party building, constantly improve the Party’s leadership and ruling level, and improve its ability to resist corruption, change and risks, so that our Party will always be in the forefront of the times in the historical process of profound changes in the world situation, become the backbone of the people throughout the country in the historical process of coping with various risks and tests at home and abroad, and become a strong leadership core in the historical process of upholding and developing Socialism with Chinese characteristics.

  Fifth, we must strengthen Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s self-confidence. Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s road, theoretical system and system have been achieved through the long-term struggle of the whole party and the people of all nationalities, and have also been tested by long-term practice. Our confidence in Socialism with Chinese characteristics comes from practice, from the people and from the truth. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out: "In today’s world, if any political party, country or nation can be confident, then the Communist Party of China (CPC), People’s Republic of China (PRC) and the Chinese nation have the most reasons to be confident." On the basis of thoroughly grasping Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s scientificity and truth, we should strengthen our road confidence, theoretical confidence and institutional confidence, constantly create a new situation in Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s cause, and constantly hand over the qualified papers for adhering to and developing Socialism with Chinese characteristics.
