In the past week, the first phase of the 15th Conference of the Parties (COP15) of the United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity was successfully held in Kunming, China. However, during this meeting, all parties also noticed that the United States has not completed the ratification procedure for 30 years since it signed the Convention in the 1990s.

　　With a total of 196 parties, the Convention on Biological Diversity has developed into one of the international environmental conventions with the largest number of countries. As one of the most developed countries in the world, the absence of the United States has undoubtedly caused significant damage to the global efforts to protect biodiversity and prevent species extinction.

　　△ Quartz, a business news website, wrote that the refusal of the United States to ratify the Convention on Biological Diversity may weaken the protection of biodiversity at home and abroad.

　　Internal party struggles shut out the global environmental protection plan

　　At the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil in 1992, the Convention on Biological Diversity was opened for signature by all countries. Many countries, including China, signed this historic convention on the spot, but the United States chose to give up at that time.

　　△ At the Rio Conference in 1992, leaders of various countries enthusiastically signed the Convention on Biological Diversity under the witness of then-UN Secretary-General Boutros Ghali (right). However, the then US President George W. Bush did not sign it.

　　The reason for not signing is simple — — 1992 was an election year in the United States.

　　At that time, President George H.W. Bush was fiercely competing with Democrat Clinton for the presidency, and many senators in Bush’s Republican Party opposed signing the Convention on Biological Diversity. The Republican Party, which represents the interests of large enterprises, believes that the Convention will "infringe" US sovereignty, endanger domestic commercial interests and increase the financial burden.

　　Clinton won the election in 1992 and signed the Convention on Biological Diversity shortly after taking office. But signing does not mean joining. If the United States really wants to join the Convention, it still needs the approval of more than two-thirds of the Senate. However, due to the obstruction of the Republican Party, the Convention has not been approved by Congress.

　　△ VOX, an American news website, quoted an expert’s point of view in the article "Why didn’t the United States join the most important treaty to protect nature", pointing out that conservative nationalists in the United States (including the Senate) have long distrusted international agreements and regarded them as "efforts by the United Nations and foreign governments to restrict the independence of the United States Constitution, interfere in the activities of the American private sector and create redistributive plans".

　　Now 30 years later, these people’s ideas have not changed at all. Shortly after Biden took office as president, the American right-wing think tank released a report calling on the Senate to continue to boycott international treaties such as the Convention on Biological Diversity during Biden’s tenure, on the grounds that they "threatened US sovereignty".

　　However, environmental experts point out that there is no evidence to support this statement. What’s more, the Convention on Biological Diversity itself clearly stipulates that countries retain jurisdiction over their own environment.

　　△ Stuart Patrick, director of the International Institutions and Global Governance Program of the American Council on Foreign Relations, clearly emphasized in his book "Sovereign War" that the Convention on Biological Diversity does not pose a threat to US sovereignty.

　　Although environmental supporters have been urging the United States to join the Convention on Biological Diversity as soon as possible for many years, they also realize that in the increasingly polarized United States, the policy direction is completely subject to "veto politics", and conservative politicians simply do not have enough will to fulfill any international obligations.

　　To this end, Sarah Sanders, a researcher at the Audubon Institution in the United States, and Maria Mick, an assistant professor at Michigan State University, jointly published a column warning that the global biodiversity policy is at a critical crossroads. "We (the United States) need a place, otherwise it will be too late."

　　The United States itself has tasted the consequences of arbitrary behavior.

　　The refusal of the United States to ratify the Convention on Biological Diversity not only seriously undermined the global biodiversity protection plan, but also made the United States taste the consequences.

　　Federal wildlife officials announced last month that 22 species of wild animals and 1 species of wild plants in the United States, such as ivory-billed woodpecker, will be declared extinct and will be removed from the endangered species list due to poor protection.

　　According to data provided by the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), nearly 3 billion birds have been lost in North America since 1970. Take Hawaii as an example. There used to be more than 50 species of forest birds in Hawaii, but there are only 17 species left.

△ The New York Times pictures

　　The British "Guardian" recently issued a document summarizing many threats to global biodiversity, and first pointed out "destructive land use". Among them, the outstanding performance is the United States.

　　The article cites the research results of American experts and points out that from 2008 to 2016, 4 million hectares of land in the United States were destroyed. In particular, the destructive development of the prairie in the United States is "equivalent to deforestation of tropical forests." This grassland, once the largest in the world, has now been used for agriculture. However, the recently developed agricultural land has been downgraded to sub-optimal level, and its agricultural output is 70% lower than the national average.

△ "Guardian" report screenshot

　　In fact, apart from the Convention on Biological Diversity, there are many multilateral environmental treaties that the United States has signed but never ratified. What’s more, the United States, as the largest emitter in global history, formally withdrew from the Paris Agreement aimed at tackling global climate change in November last year. This is described by global public opinion as a "major retrogression."

　　It is worth noting that both the Convention on Biological Diversity and the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change were signed at the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development in Rio in 1992. In the eyes of professionals, protecting biodiversity and tackling climate change are global environmental protection issues of equal importance.

　　As Elizabeth Murema, Executive Secretary of the Secretariat of the United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity, said in a recent interview, climate change and biodiversity are interrelated. "When we talk about mountain fires, we are talking about forests, and forests are biodiversity. If biodiversity is not considered, the solution of climate change alone will not help to slow down climate change. "

△ Elizabeth Murema

　　With the upcoming 26th Conference of the Parties (COP26) of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, what the United States has done is becoming the biggest uncertainty in the field of global environmental governance.

　　In this regard, Zhao Lijian, a spokesman for China’s Foreign Ministry, said a few days ago that the United States should change its utilitarian practices in participating in international affairs as soon as possible, shoulder its due international responsibilities and obligations, earnestly proceed from the well-being of people around the world and win the trust of the international community with practical actions.

　　But what the world wants to know is, when will the United States, which has refused to ratify the Convention on Biological Diversity for decades, retreat when it wants to enter the Paris Agreement … …

In Langlujiayuan Community, Nanshan District, the staff of the garbage removal company are sorting and collecting garbage and transporting it to professional places for further treatment. Shenzhen Special Zone Daily reporter Jong Li correspondent Chen Jiashe

Original title: One-point garbage disposal saves major events. Professionals say that garbage sorting can save a lot of costs from transportation to terminal treatment.

Shenzhen Special Zone News August 17, 2019 Recently, this newspaper reported four modern environmental protection power plants in Shenzhen, which aroused widespread concern in society. Some citizens are wondering, since Shenzhen has such a large amount of garbage incineration and advanced technology, is it necessary to classify garbage? In interviews and surveys, professionals in garbage disposal emphasized that garbage disposal costs a lot, and the mixed garbage disposal process is more complicated. Garbage classification not only saves resources but also reduces the burden of garbage disposal. Only when everyone cares about garbage disposal and starts to do garbage sorting well can the dilemma of "garbage besieged city" be fundamentally alleviated and social spiritual civilization be promoted.

The road from the community to the terminal facilities is long.

The high cost of garbage disposal calls for classification.

The daily average domestic garbage removal in Shenzhen increased from 7.5 tons in 1979 to 19,000 tons in 2018, exceeding 2,500 times, with an annual growth rate of 6%, and with the rapid development of Shenzhen, the growth rate is still increasing year by year. It is understood that some landfills are designed to have a service life of up to ten years or even decades, but they can’t resist the growing amount of garbage. Some landfills are filled in advance and garbage incineration plants are overloaded.

The relevant person in charge of the Municipal Urban Management and Comprehensive Law Enforcement Bureau said that while building garbage disposal facilities, the amount of garbage has increased. For many years, Shenzhen garbage disposal facilities have encountered difficulties in site selection, landing and construction. Zhong Rigang, deputy general manager of Shenzhen Energy and Environmental Protection Co., Ltd., who is responsible for the construction and operation of four energy and ecological parks in our city, also believes that "building garbage disposal facilities will cost a lot, not only spending money, but also occupying social resources."

There is still a long journey from the community to the terminal treatment facilities. From the community, it will be transported to the garbage transfer station in the form of vehicle-mounted drums or vehicle-mounted bags, and then it will be reduced in water and compressed, and then it will be pulled to the garbage incineration power plant or sanitary landfill for final treatment by the garbage truck.

"Every link will generate costs. In order to prevent the impact on residents’ lives and the urban environment, in the transportation process, the garbage with odor is transported by special closed vehicles." Zhong Rigang believes that if citizens can reduce their sources at home, they will not use so many more expensive closed cars.

"Garbage came in and was destroyed? Garbage disposal is very complicated. " Zhong Rigang analyzed that if the garbage is not classified as mixed garbage, the treatment standard will be determined according to the most dangerous components, the treatment process is more complicated, and more environmental protection facilities and materials are invested. Despite the garbage disposal facilities, Zhong Rigang appealed that everyone is a garbage producer and should actively participate in garbage sorting, reduce garbage production at the source and share the pressure of garbage disposal. Sorted garbage is more convenient to transport and treat, and reduces the cost.

More than 100 enterprises participate in transportation processing.

Put an end to garbage before sorting and then mixing.

Large pieces of garbage, glass plastic paper, kitchen waste, waste lamps, waste batteries … The reporter saw in Langlujiayuan Community of Nanshan District that these classified garbage were collected and transported by vehicles with different logos and different enterprises. This scene is the normal state of garbage removal in the community that promotes garbage sorting in Shenzhen.

How to ensure classified transportation of classified garbage? Will the garbage that residents have worked hard to sort out be taken away by a car? Huang Zhibin, director of the comprehensive department of Shenzhen Municipal Domestic Waste Classification Management Affairs Center, said that the removal unit was invited by the district governments and had certain qualifications. All kinds of garbage were removed by different removal companies. According to the contract, the types of garbage cleaned by each removal company were different, and the mixed collection and transportation of garbage was eliminated from the system. Due to the different operation projects of enterprises, collecting garbage collected and transported by non-self enterprises will not generate benefits, and enterprises are not driven by interests.

It is reported that there are more than 10 enterprises responsible for the collection, transportation and treatment of waste furniture, waste battery lamps, waste glass plastic paper, annual oranges, waste fabrics, green garbage, fruit and vegetable garbage and kitchen garbage in Futian District, more than 20 enterprises in Luohu District, more than 50 enterprises in Baoan District and 10 enterprises in Longgang District, and more than 100 enterprises are responsible for the classified transportation, classified treatment and recycling of garbage in the city.

Remove the floor trash can before the end of the year.

Citizens need to go downstairs and throw garbage.

As early as 2015, Shenzhen began to fully implement garbage sorting. After the garbage is sorted, how to throw it away? In order to improve the participation rate and accuracy of residents, after repeated exploration, Shenzhen is now vigorously promoting the residential waste classification model of "centralized classified delivery+regular fixed-point supervision", that is, there is no trash can on the floor, and centralized classified delivery points are set downstairs. Arrange supervisors to conduct on-site supervision at the centralized waste sorting and dropping point in the community from 7: 00 to 9: 00 every night.

In the first half of 2019, the city built 805 residential areas with the mode of "centralized classified delivery+regular and fixed-point supervision", and implemented the classified delivery of kitchen waste at regular and fixed points (7: 00-9: 00 every night), and recruited party member, volunteers, enthusiastic residents and property managers as supervisors. At present, there are 2,671 supervisors in the city to conduct on-site supervision at 2,630 centralized delivery points in 805 communities, covering a total of 452,000 households and 1.53 million residents, and each centralized delivery point serves about 172 households on average.

According to the Municipal Urban Management and Comprehensive Law Enforcement Bureau, by the end of the year, this model will be extended to all 3,600 residential areas with property management in the city. This means that in many communities where garbage bins are placed on the floors, all these bins should be removed, and garbage sorting points should be set up again in the communities, and the garbage should be carried downstairs for sorting.

At present, Shenzhen is carrying out the action of removing barrels, and strives to completely remove the garbage bins on the residential floors before the end of this year. Although not every residential area has garbage bins on the floor, some residential areas have no garbage bins on the floor since they first moved in. It is necessary to change the habit of throwing garbage when they go out for many years, especially in high-rise residential buildings. Whether residents will adapt and support the withdrawal of buckets will test the relevant departments of the district and street. (Shenzhen Special Zone Daily reporter Lin Qingrong)

Wen | Xiao Gu Dong

On the one hand, it is a crazy pet girl who is silent, and on the other hand, it is a pseudo-orthopedic player who is secretly caught in emotional entanglements. Luo Shenyuan, played by Zhang Wanyi in "Splendid Peace", combines the plots of pet girls and pseudo-orthopedics with one another, which has aroused the onlookers and discussions of netizens, and the topic # Zhang Wanyi walks through two kinds of tracks at a time # has also aroused heated discussion.

Reading Entertainment Jun found that every time a new drama is broadcast, Zhang Wanyi’s entries related to the track will appear on the hot search list. Nowadays, it is becoming more and more normal for people to set up high-frequency rollover or even house collapse. It is a more secure way for actors to launch track marketing, which can not only refine the characteristic labels of roles, but also not equate with the artists themselves, which is full of the cost performance of marketing among the topics of continuous output.

Generally speaking, most stars circle in the ancient and modern circuit, and then enter the official circuit to consolidate their personal reputation. However, Zhang Wanyi does the opposite, because he has appeared in the series of Sauvignon Blanc, The Story of the Liuzhou, The Beautiful Peace and the Children of the Qiao Family in recent years, and gradually gained a firm foothold in the Beide circuit, which is due to the fact that most of his roles are focused on.

From Qiao Erqiang’s "Master, I don’t want you" in "Qiao’s Daughter" to Zhao Jin’s "Why can’t you break up with him because of me" in "I know I love you", is it wrong to say "I like you" in "Sauvignon Blanc"? Is it wrong for me to want to stay with you for a long time? From Luo Shenyuan’s "I am no longer a brother and sister" in "Splendid Peace", this series of representative lines is the epitome of Zhang Wanyi’s "Beide Circuit".

Under the big framework of Beide Circuit, netizens also combined the differences of Zhang Wanyi’s roles to expand the vocabulary of the circuit with more curiosity.

The characters played by Zhang Wanyi all have different feelings for their younger sisters, and the orthopedic plot of the minority has attracted a lot of attention. In this regard, netizens commented: "This orthopedic track is really down-to-earth" and "Late intention is really a ride on the orthopedic track".

In Liu Zhou Ji, netizens summed up different track keywords according to the contrast before and after Cui Xingzhou. In the early stage of the series, Cui Xingzhou, who was originally Huaiyang Wang but pretended to be Liu Miantang’s husband Cui Jiu, released the sense of husband when the size was switched freely, and netizens teased Zhang Wanyi from "Beide Circuit" to "Virtuous Circuit"; In the later period, Cui Xingzhou and Liu Miantang loved each other very much, and netizens said that Zhang Wanyi started the Little Joyful Raceway, and even quipped: "Who would have thought that a big tiger who led the battle outside would become a cute and clingy kitten at home" …

In one ancient puppet show after another, Zhang Wanyi became the "leader" on Beide track, and tried to open up more new tracks. Finally, he gained more attention, discussion and a more distinctive character tag in the evaluation of "the running woman is made of iron".

In this regard, Zhang Wanyi once publicly said: "You always help me expand my comfort zone. It seems that every time you sum up a new point, I find that I have this potential. If possible, I hope you can give me more summaries, so that I can further explore my ideas and bring you different experiences. "

However, Zhang Wanyi got some negative comments because of the similar shapes and performances of the series "Sauvignon Blanc", "Liu Zhou Ji" and "Splendid Peace". However, the subsequent collaboration with Jing Tian has made some breakthroughs in the shape, and it remains to be seen whether the word-of-mouth can be reversed in the future.

Throughout the entertainment circle, many actors stay in their comfort zones to perform their roles, and many of them have become professional households on a single track, from Yue Yueli, a professional household of rich grandfathers in the early days, and Pan Hong, a professional household of evil mothers-in-law, to David Wang, a professional household of overbearing presidents in recent years, and Jin Dong, a professional household of leading within the system. However, regular-season courses such as overbearing presidents and professional households can’t attract the attention of the audience, but will leave a homogeneous stereotype. At present, it is more popular for the public to find a new way to refine some more novel and niche track labels for actors, and to carry out marketing on this basis, which makes people feel refreshed and more memorable.

Or refine a new track concept according to the identity of the role. Zhou Yutong, who is known as "the actress with the strongest taste in the entertainment class", has played many representative roles such as Qiao Xichen, Liang Youan, Zhuang Jie, Han Su and so on in a series of urban dramas, such as I am fine in a foreign land, just love, a lover in spring and a half-cooked man and woman. These characters present the most authentic state of contemporary migrant workers from all dimensions, and Zhou Yutong has also become a representative actor of Banwei Circuit.

Similarly, Johnny opened up a military service track because of his roles as Yu Weidong in Peacekeeping Riot Team, Gao Liang in Ace Force, Lin Luxiao in He Came from the Fire, and Li Fei in Action to Break the Ice. Zhang Yi has opened up a track for chasing murderers because of his role in The Knockout’s "Rebirth" and "The Gate of Rebirth". Yolanda, who starred in The First Half of My Life, Falling Flowers, and Zhu Zhu, who starred in elite lawyers, The Story of a Rose and other dramas, became typical representatives of the elite track in the workplace.

Or refine new words according to the common characteristics of actors in their roles. After a little inventory, Wang Xingyue was called the number one player on the wife-stealing track by netizens because of his roles in plays such as Zhou Sheng as usual, For a fragrance, Ning ‘an as a dream, Mo Yu Yun Jian and so on. Wu Jinyan dominated the revenge track with Wei Yuluo in Yanxi Palace, Xue Fangfei in Mo Yu Yun Yan and Mei Lin in Spring Flower Flame. Lyric built the Wolf Queen Raceway with Guan Zhizhi in The War of Roses and Su Zhenzhen in Dislocation. Wang Yuwen created the "Memoirs of a Dead Wife" track with the roles of Huang Shu in Coward and Xiao Ruotong in Lonely Boat. Lei Jiayin, Ke Bai and Guo Jingfei are the representatives of "loser track" because they often play the role of bullying men.

Or combine their performances in variety shows to open up a new track. Zhou Yiwei, Sun Chengxiao and Sun Nan all reversed their negative comments by participating in variety shows, thus opening up a brand-new "guilt powder track", which, to a certain extent, made the actors’ performing career enter a new turning point.

In addition, there are actors who find their own track according to their own appearance. For example, Dong Siyi plays the chubby girl in Twenty Don’t Confuse, Our Decade and Splendid Peace. These roles all lead to related stories because of their personal figure. For example, in the recently broadcasted Splendid Peace, Luo Yixiu, played by Dong Siyi, is a foodie, and her figure is more plump than other sisters. For this reason, she was ordered by her mother to go on a diet to lose weight. In addition, the fragments about her figure with her sixth uncle in the play have a good spread on the Internet.

With the popularization of role track marketing, the more subdivided and vertical track concept can make actors more memorable and topical. In addition, with the help of the discussion boom on social platforms, actors can accumulate more popularity and reputation on their own role track, and then they are more favored by the film and television market and have more say in script selection. Of course, the role track is also a double-edged sword, which not only releases dividends, but also has hidden worries. There are also many actors who stay in a certain role track for a long time and cause the audience’s aesthetic fatigue. Therefore, it is necessary to examine the situation and adjust their performance routes and marketing strategies in time.

The evolution of the crime of cracking down on online game plug-in crime

Some netizens in Zhihu asked the author: Does it constitute a crime of illegal business operation to use game AIDS like keyboard and mouse to practice online games? "A few months ago, a friend was detained for 30 days for illegal business operations and fined hundreds of thousands because he used game scripts to practice games. His game script is similar to the color recognition of the key wizard+simulation of the mouse and keyboard, developed by himself, without modifying the game client, so it should not belong to the plug-in. But one of the crimes of illegal business operation is illegal publications. His software is for personal use and has not been disseminated. I wonder if it’s really illegal? Suppose the software he uses is copyrighted? Is the situation different again? The key wizard has copyright. What’s more, JC seized all his dozens of computers without showing any documents, and searched his room. Is this in line with the rules? If this kind of case goes to court, what are the chances of conviction? I have consulted many cases, and it seems that there are only cases with plug-ins. "

The author’s answer to this: There is no official explanation for the definition of plug-in in China at present. My understanding is the cheating software of online games. For the conviction of plug-in, it mainly depends on what kind of legal relationship plug-in infringes. If it is convicted of illegal business operation, the court thinks that online games can only be operated with a license, and plug-ins operate without a license. If the crime of destroying the computer information system is determined, the court thinks that the operation of plug-ins destroys the communication between the server and the client of the online game company, resulting in the unstable operation of the server. If the crime of copyright infringement is determined, it is that the court thinks that the program of the game software is copied by the plug-in (many times this copy is actually just a call, but sometimes the court judge may not know the difference. )

In this case, if the plug-in is just a mouse and keyboard wizard, the crime of destroying computer information system and the crime of infringing copyright cannot be applied to crack down, and the only thing the court can decide is the crime of illegal business operation. But I think that criminal punishment involves people’s right to life freedom and needs to be treated very seriously. Although the plug-in industry has done great harm to the online game industry, cracking down on plug-in crimes should also comply with the relevant provisions of the Criminal Law. If the plug-in has little damage to online games, it should not be cracked down according to crimes, that is, it does not constitute a crime. The following is a paper I recently published in China Intellectual Property Magazine, which specifically discusses the advantages and disadvantages of various charges of plug-in crimes in China.

Since Shanda Network Company introduced Legend from South Korea in 2001 and became a hit, the online game industry has gradually developed into one of the most profitable industries in the domestic Internet, and has created many richest people in China, such as Chen Tianqiao and Ding Lei. However, with the development of online games, various black industrial chains around the industry have also risen rapidly, among which plug-ins that help players cheat in games are the most headache for game companies.

As far as I know during my work in an online game company, the essence of plug-in is game cheating software, which is named because it is attached to game software at runtime. Plug-ins have the following disadvantages: cheaters’ bad money drives out good money, defeats fair gamers in the game and undermines the fairness of the game; Plug-ins increase the burden on the server, forcing operators to increase the purchase of servers and bandwidth, thus raising costs and may lead to unstable server operation; Plug-ins enable players to quickly complete the tasks in the game, abnormally increase the consumption speed of game content, and make game companies have to invest a lot of human resources to increase the development of new game content. Although it can’t be ruled out that some plug-ins are developed for the shortcomings of game software, most plug-ins do destroy the user experience of the game, increase the development and operation costs of the game company and endanger the stable operation of the game.

In China, plug-in has become an industry. For any slightly popular game, R&D teams will be responsible for developing the corresponding plug-in programs, and there will be special teams to operate and sell plug-ins. There are also professional "gold-playing" companies that specialize in "gold-playing" in the game, which use a large number of plug-in programs to earn game coins, experience values, etc. and sell them to other players. It is no exaggeration to say that the whole plug-in industry is a cancer parasitic on the online game industry, and their existence has seriously damaged the development of the online game industry.

However, how to crack down on plug-ins has always been a headache for major game companies. Plug-in operators make full use of the anonymity of the Internet, the limited jurisdiction of governments in the Internet environment, and the characteristics that online payment circumvents traditional payment channels. The operating domain name and server of plug-in software are usually foreign, and the accounts used for collecting money are usually personal accounts. Even if game companies can’t contact plug-in developers, they can only see the instant messaging accounts of plug-in operators and sellers.

In this case, if the game company conducts a civil lawsuit against the plug-in operator, it will first encounter the problem of unknown subject. In many cases, the name of the defendant is unknown; Secondly, even if we know the name of the plug-in operator or even the company that runs the plug-in, we don’t know anything about their property. The plug-in operator knows that plug-in is illegal, so the bank account used for operation will generally transfer the funds in the account to other personal accounts or relatives and friends accounts in a short period of time, so even if the civil lawsuit wins, it is difficult for the game company to execute its property. Third, civil prosecution can only attack the sales and operation links of plug-in industry, but not the development links. In the final analysis, the plug-in industry is a part of the underground economy, and it is not strong enough to crack down on it with civil litigation.

Since civil litigation is not feasible, many online game companies can only seek criminal means. However, the online game industry itself is a new industry, and the plug-in behavior that destroys it is unprecedented. Whether the plug-in behavior constitutes a crime or not, and what charges should be dealt with if it constitutes a crime, in practice, major game companies and legal practitioners have been groping for many years, and have gone through three stages: the crime of illegal business operation, the crime of copyright infringement and the crime of destroying computer information systems.

The first stage is the crime of illegal business operation.

The criminal object of the crime of illegal business operation is the market order, especially the market management system in which the state restricts the sale and purchase of goods and business licenses. The corresponding legal provision is Article 225 of the Criminal Law. As the operation of online games belongs to value-added telecommunications services according to the provisions of the Telecommunications Regulations, it is necessary to apply for the business license of value-added telecommunications services at the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. The Interim Provisions on the Administration of Internet Publishing promulgated in 2001 and the Interim Provisions on the Administration of Internet Culture promulgated by the Ministry of Culture in 2003 also stipulate that the publication and operation of online games require the prior administrative license of the General Administration of Press and Publication or local press and publication bureaus and the Ministry of Culture. Therefore, online games are an area that needs a government license to operate, and some game companies try to report the behavior of developing and operating plug-ins as illegal operations.

The specific basis is Article 11 of the Supreme People’s Court’s Interpretation on Several Issues Concerning the Specific Application of Laws in the Trial of Criminal Cases of Illegal Publications, which was promulgated in 1998: "In violation of state regulations, publishing, printing, copying and distributing other illegal publications that seriously endanger social order and disrupt market order other than those stipulated in Articles 1 to 10 of this Interpretation, if the circumstances are serious, they shall be convicted and punished for the crime of illegal business operation in accordance with Article 225, paragraph 3, of the Criminal Law."

The first domestic plug-in case: Tan, former vice president of Rising, illegally operated the plug-in case. Since June 2004, the defendant talked about a certain person and others developing 007 plug-in software for Legend 3. And set up a website to promote and provide download services, and also wholesale and retail plug-in software cards, with a business volume of more than two million yuan.

After trial, the court of first instance held that the defendant talked about a certain person who, for the purpose of making profits, carried out operating Internet information services without approval, violated the regulations of the state on publishing management, used Internet websites to carry out illegal Internet publishing activities, published and distributed illegal Internet publications, infringed on the legitimate rights and interests of copyright owners, publishing institutions and game consumers, and disrupted the normal order of Internet game publishing and operation, and the circumstances were particularly serious, which constituted the crime of illegal business operation. After the original public prosecution agency filed a protest, the court of second instance held that the actions of the three defendants had constituted the crime of illegal business operation, and the circumstances of the crime were particularly serious. They were sentenced to a fixed-term imprisonment of 6 years (two years and six months in the first instance) and fined 500,000 yuan.

After the verdict was made, major online game companies in China began to report plug-in crimes on the grounds of suspected illegal business. However, from the legal point of view, the crime of illegal business operation infringes on the national market management system that restricts the sale and purchase of goods and business licenses. If operating plug-in software constitutes a crime, it needs to be certified for illegal publications. In early cases, the General Administration of Press and Publication identified many plug-in programs as illegal publications, and every plug-in program identified by it was treated as a criminal case of illegal business operation. However, traditional illegal publications generally contain pornographic or reactionary content, while plug-in programs only help players cheat in online games, and basically do not contain pornographic or reactionary content. Moreover, the crime of illegal business operation is considered as "pocket crime" in practice. Therefore, there are also objections in theory and academic circles to cracking down on business plug-in with this crime. At the same time, after identifying a number of plug-ins as illegal publications, the General Administration of Press and Publication began to reduce the identification of illegal publications, so in recent years, there are few practices.

Second, the stage of copyright infringement crime.

After cracking down on plug-ins through the crime of illegal business operation for a period of time, judicial organs in some areas began to try to crack down on plug-ins by using the crime of copyright infringement stipulated in Article 217 of the Criminal Law. The subjective aspect of the crime of copyright infringement requires copying and distributing works that others enjoy copyright without permission for profit.

The reason for attacking plug-ins with the crime of copyright infringement is that the development and operators of plug-ins copy some programs in online game software for profit. Because the profit of plug-in is millions, it is not difficult to reach the bottom line of the crime amount punishment.

Case: Defendant Zhang et al. made and sold the plug-in software for Adventure Island game operated by Shanda Network, and the profit was huge, which was later captured. The court submitted the software to Shanghai Oriental Computer Judicial Appraisal Institute for identification, and confirmed that the plug-in invaded the online game client program of Adventure Island by means of memory hook, gained control over the memory address and data modification of the program, and called and copied the data naming and data copying of 124 client software function data of Adventure Island.

The court held that the copyright of online game software of Adventure Island should be protected by Chinese laws. Defendant Zhang and others jointly copied and distributed the online game software client program of Adventure Island for profit without the permission of the copyright owner, and the amount of illegal business was huge, and the circumstances were particularly serious, which constituted a crime of copyright infringement according to the provisions of Article 217 of the Criminal Law of People’s Republic of China (PRC). In the end, Zhang was sentenced to five years in prison, and the other defendants were also sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment.

However, the author has personal objection to punishing plug-ins for this crime: if the plug-in operator is to be deemed as a crime, it is obvious that there must be unauthorized copying of computer software. The plug-in production operators do not need to copy online game software in their operations. Even if it is to be copied, not all the game client software is copied by plug-ins, but only a few applications involving data modification; And in many cases, some programs in the software are copied between the memory and hard disk of the same computer. This behavior is essentially not copying, but calling. The online game client software called by the plug-in program is generally a legal version downloaded by the player from the official website of the game. Obviously, this is different from the original intention of the criminal law to crack down on copying-to crack down on the spread of unauthorized software. Therefore, the behavior of operating plug-ins does not meet the constitutive requirements of copying computer software without permission in the objective aspect of crime. Although the case was later included in the top ten typical cases of intellectual property protection in Shanghai in 2010, in practice, there are not many cases in which the crime of copyright infringement is used to crack down on plug-in crimes, and the cases retrieved by the author are basically applied by the courts in Shanghai.

Crime of destroying computer information system.

Although the previous charges against plug-ins are a bit problematic, with the strengthening of legislation, the online game industry finally found a suitable charge against plug-ins in 2011. Article 286 of China’s Criminal Law stipulates that anyone who, in violation of state regulations, deletes, modifies, adds or interferes with the functions of the computer information system, thus causing the computer information system to fail to operate normally, and the consequences are serious, shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than five years or criminal detention; If the consequences are especially serious, they shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than five years. Whoever, in violation of state regulations, deletes, modifies or adds data and applications stored, processed or transmitted in computer information systems, if the consequences are serious, shall be punished in accordance with the provisions of the preceding paragraph. However, because there are no applicable standards with serious consequences and particularly serious consequences, this provision is rarely used to crack down on plug-in crimes.

In September, 2011, the Supreme People’s Court and the Supreme People’s Procuratorate jointly promulgated and implemented the Interpretation on Several Issues Concerning the Application of Laws in Handling Criminal Cases Endangering the Security of Computer Information Systems, which has a clear quantitative index for the criminal consequences of destroying computer information systems, and greatly reduced the difficulty of cracking down on plug-in crimes.

Case: Su Mou and others modified the data of the online game server of Tianlong Babu through their own computer knowledge and software, implemented plug-in behavior, illegally swiped virtual currency and virtual items, and sold them online for profit. Their behavior caused a large number of abnormal accounts in the online game of Tianlong Babu to continue swiping gold coins in the game, which caused a serious impact on the virtual economic system in the game, causing the game network to be seriously blocked, and the players could not log in normally, so the operating company could only stop and maintain the server.

According to the trial of the People’s Court of Linghe District, Jinzhou City, the defendants Su Mou, Lin Mou, Zhou Mou, Li Mou, Pang Mou and others used plug-in software to modify the data of the online game server of Tianlong Babu, which caused the computer information system of Beijing Changyou Times Digital Technology Co., Ltd. to fail to operate normally, with serious consequences, clear criminal facts and reliable and sufficient evidence. In the first instance, the defendants Su Mou, Lin Mou, Zhou Mou, Li Mou and Pang Mou were sentenced to one year and one month in prison for the crime of destroying the computer information system, and the other defendants were sentenced to six months in prison, suspended for one year, and all the illegal gains and tools of the defendants were confiscated.

This case is different from the traditional case of developing and selling plug-in software. The traditional case of plug-in attacks the behavior of developing or selling plug-in, while this case attacks the gold-playing company that uses plug-in to "play gold" in the game and sell it to other players. There has been a great controversy in the industry about whether the use of plug-ins by gold-playing companies constitutes a crime. A typical case is that the Nanjing court ruled that the person in charge of a gold-playing company committed a crime with the crime of illegal business operation. However, there is obviously no national license restriction on the use of plug-ins to play gold in the game. Therefore, the case is very controversial. However, it is obviously more appropriate to use the crime of destroying computer information system to deal with the large-scale use of plug-ins to make money, because the large-scale use of plug-ins by plug-ins to make money may also lead to the criminal consequences that computer information systems cannot operate normally.

Finally, criminal punishment involves people’s right to life freedom and needs to be treated very seriously. Although the plug-in industry has done great harm to the online game industry, cracking down on plug-in crimes should also comply with the relevant provisions of the Criminal Law. From the point of view of the evolution of the charges against plug-in as a high-tech crime, although there are disputes at every stage in the whole process, it is indeed developing in a reasonable and perfect direction. Therefore, it can be seen that although there is a certain lag in the development of law, it will not lag behind for too long.

A few days ago, the eighth season of "Ace to Ace" came to a successful conclusion. The "Ace" Happy Bus, which will be there every Friday night, is full of sadness and warmth and cries goodbye to the audience! On the closing night, all the ace members brought a special "internal award ceremony": "Get up early and be greedy for the black", "Tengli Tengqi" and "Breakthrough with Variety" … which contained the jokes and memories of the whole season. This season’s "Ace to Ace" is also the fifth year that Hua Chenyu has accompanied the program. After being promoted to "Ace Two in Charge", he has found his own variety orientation more and more accurately —— "Inference+Unique Skills+Musical Talent", which has frequently contributed high-energy famous scenes and made people know more about Hua Chenyu outside of music. Hand-painted "ace family portrait", he clearly remembers everyone’s characteristics, integrates gentleness into small details, and takes care of his strength! In front of the stage, Hua Chenyu can be called an ace game panacea, and many netizens shouted: Without Hua Chenyu’s "Ace Family" team game, you will lose half! Outside the stage, he seems to be a behind-the-scenes supporter of a program. He is wise, kind and warm, and constantly outputs a sense of security and explosion to guests and programs, illuminating the overall situation like the sun.

In the eighth season of "Ace", Hua Chenyu’s famous scenes are constantly wise and funny, and off the charts has a sense of variety.

In the eighth season of Ace to Ace, Hua Chenyu was promoted to be "the most resourceful second master", and amazing music scenes were readily available: new songs and old songs such as "Light the bonfire at the end of the Galaxy", "The Sea of the Wind" and "Ordinary Life to Unusual Life" were infinitely broadcast on the stage, which greatly enriched the visibility of the program. Piano, flute and other musical instruments surprise performances, stage cooperation with guests from all walks of life, talent competition, more like a fairy fight, frequently heal the audience. Even on the variety stage, Hua Chenyu never forgot to perform the romantic fairy tale with Martians again and again. He reunited with Grandpa and Grandma Mars on the stage of "Ace" and completed the performance together, which made Mars romantic shock everyone.

Regardless of the music world or the real world, the flowers are trying their best to dream for fans, making people believe that a beautiful new world is ahead. The unique skill of "two masters" is far more than that. "Bare-handed water blocking" imitates accurate positioning and refreshes the audience’s cognition of reaction! You can also perform "IP Man Squat" on the balance ball, which was teased by netizens: Hua Chenyu Core is more stable than my salary increase! Reasoning ability frequently shocked the guest audience, focusing on a pre-judgment that predicted you. Not only did you analyze how many people were in the bad guys’ camp, but you also disguised yourself as the bad guys’ camp, successfully disintegrated the enemy’s interior, and finally succeeded in making the order take effect, saving the day! Many netizens said: "When I saw him, I thought that team would win. Hua Chenyu is really a god teammate with a sense of security."

The output temperature of Hua Chenyu’s "Ace" five-year "broken cocoon" growth and long-term companionship strength

I still remember that Huahua, who first entered the "Ace Family" a few years ago, was shy and shy, and interacted with the guests slightly. The five-year long-term companionship also made Huahua undergo a "cocoon-breaking" transformation, not only in the music field, but also in the variety field, she frequently led the team to turn over against the wind with her keen observation and reasoning ability. In the program, he and the guests crossed the future to "become bigger and stronger"; Appreciate the beauty of the national style together; Together, we will help the national treasure to embark on the journey home … so that the audience can gain a lot of knowledge in joy.

Since five seasons, he and Shen Teng have joined forces to bring Stay with me (anti-fraud version). He has shouted "Kill Pig Plate" and can improvise anti-fraud jingles in Hubei dialect! Not only did he draw the guest stick figures on the show, but he also extended this deep friendship to the offline. He would support the film screenings of Jia Ling, Shen Teng and other guests. Every time I stand in the center of the stage and enjoy the cheers, I don’t forget to mention the hard work of the behind-the-scenes staff, know how to be grateful and cherish, and treat every collaborator as a family member, so that everyone who works with him feels like a spring breeze. He kept a high standard on the trump card stage for five years, substituted life thinking into his works, and hid the two-way trip between "fireworks" in details, which is worth digging back and forth.

CCTV News:On April 24th, the latest news of China Aerospace was released, and the Shenzhou-18 manned spacecraft was planned to be launched at 20: 59 on April 25th. For more than 60 years, from "two bombs and one satellite" to "Chang ‘e" to explore the moon, "Zhu Rong" to explore the fire and "Tiangong" to roam the stars … … China Aerospace always dreams of the stars and the sea, and will fly to a wider deep space this year.

China space accelerates exploration to new heights.

The launch window of Shenzhou-18 manned spacecraft confirmed that astronauts appeared in groups.

On April 24th, the press conference of Shenzhou-18 manned mission was held in Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center. It is planned to launch the Shenzhou-18 manned spacecraft at 20: 59 on April 25th, and three astronauts will make a collective appearance.

At the press conference, a spokesman for China’s manned spaceflight project introduced the relevant situation of this mission. At 11 noon, the flight crew of Shenzhou 18 met with Chinese and foreign journalists in Wentian Pavilion. The crew consisted of astronauts Ye Guangfu, Li Cong and Li Guangsu. Commander Ye Guangfu has carried out the manned mission of Shenzhou XIII, and Li Cong and Li Guangsu are the third batch of astronauts in China, both of whom are flying for the first time.

Shenzhou 17, which is carrying out its mission in the space station, is in orbit to watch the press conference and press conference of Shenzhou 18 manned mission.

At present, the state of the space station assembly and all equipment are working normally, the product quality of the Shenzhou-18 rocket assembly is controlled, the ground system facilities and equipment are running stably, and all preparations are ready before launch.

China’s manned moon landing is being developed and built as planned.

April 24 is the ninth "China Aerospace Day" with the theme of "Looking at the vast expanse of the sky and working together with the stars".

Lin Xiqiang, deputy director of the China Manned Space Engineering Office, said that at present, major flight products such as the Long March 10 carrier rocket, the Dreamboat manned spacecraft, the lunar lander, and the moon landing suit have all completed the program development work, and the production of prototype products and various tests are being carried out in an all-round way. The construction of Wenchang manned lunar exploration launch site has been fully implemented.

In 2024, China Aerospace is expected to launch about 100 missions, and the fourth phase of the lunar exploration project, Chang ‘e-6 mission, Shenzhou-18 manned mission and Tianzhou-8 cargo spacecraft replenishment mission will be advanced as scheduled. Not only that, with the "commercial aerospace" being written into the government work report for the first time, new quality productivity in the aerospace field is also gestating.

In January this year, Kuaizhou Rocket created the fastest networking record of domestic commercial satellite constellations. This year, the company will also complete eight space launch missions.

Accord to that national space administration, at present, there are nine types of commercial launch vehicle that can provide launching services, and a number of remote sen constellations of 100 orders of magnitude initiated by commercial enterprises are under steady construction. With the active arrangement of local governments and enterprises, it is estimated that the scale of China’s commercial space market is expected to exceed 2.3 trillion yuan this year.

China’s economy will make greater contributions to the world economy.

After the National Bureau of Statistics released the economic data for the first quarter of this year, many international financial institutions such as Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley and Deutsche Bank raised their economic growth forecasts for China this year. In response, Wang Wenbin, a spokeswoman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, said at a regular press conference held on April 24th that looking ahead, the trend of China’s economic recovery for the better and the longer term will not change, and it will make greater contributions to the world economy.

Wang Wenbin, a spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, said that in the first quarter of this year, China’s economy got off to a good start, the "troika" indicators of consumption, investment and export were running well, and the four macro indicators of growth, employment, inflation and balance of payments remained generally stable, releasing a "strong sense of spring" of sustained recovery. In the first quarter, China’s GDP increased by 5.3% year-on-year, of which domestic demand contributed 85.5% to economic growth, which is the main force to promote economic growth. The UNCTAD report predicts that China’s economy will achieve the growth target of around 5% this year. The 2024 global foreign direct investment confidence index released by American management consulting service company Kearney shows that China’s ranking jumped from the seventh place last year to the third place. According to a Bloomberg report, China will rank first in the world in the proportion of new economic activities in the next five years. Looking into the future, the trend of China’s economic recovery to be good and long-term good will not change. It is believed that with the continuous promotion of high-quality development and high-level opening up, China’s economy will accelerate the pace of transformation and upgrading on the basis of steady progress and make greater contributions to the world economy.

China set up a national overseas intellectual property dispute response guidance center to save 6.89 billion yuan for enterprises.

China National Intellectual Property Administration introduced that the National Guidance Center for Dealing with Overseas Intellectual Property Disputes has been set up with the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade, and 43 local sub-centers have been set up in 27 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities), and work guidance stations have been set up in countries and regions with intensive trade exchanges to provide professional and efficient overseas rights protection guidance services for enterprises. In 2023, 1,706 enterprises were instructed, which saved 6.89 billion yuan in economic losses for enterprises and helped enterprises reduce the cost of rights protection by 390 million yuan.

110 million yuan of central natural disaster relief funds support flood control and disaster relief in Jiangxi, Guangdong and Guangxi.

Recently, the Ministry of Finance and the Emergency Management Department urgently pre-allocated 110 million yuan of central natural disaster relief funds to support flood control and disaster relief work in Jiangxi, Guangdong and Guangxi provinces, focusing on emergency treatment such as search and rescue, relocation and resettlement of affected people, danger elimination, investigation and emergency rectification of hidden dangers of secondary disasters, and repair of damaged houses.

The cultural tourism market continues to heat up, and "fancy" in various places stimulates consumption enthusiasm.

There is still a week before the May Day holiday. These days, air ticket booking has reached a peak, outbound travel has also ushered in a substantial increase, and the cultural tourism market has continued to heat up.

In the big data system of this online booking platform, the reporter found that since mid-April, the air ticket booking curve has obviously increased, and the air ticket booking volume of popular cities has increased day by day, with a one-day increase of 40%. Fifteen days before the holiday, the number of air ticket bookings has exceeded the same period in 2023. The reporter found on a number of online booking platforms that during this year’s "May 1" holiday, medium and long-distance travel was hot, with orders accounting for 56%. The rapid growth of long-distance travel has driven the volume and price of the holiday civil aviation passenger transport market to rise.

Shang Kejia, deputy director of the Transportation Department of the Civil Aviation Administration of China, said: "The main reason for the popularity of the civil aviation passenger transport market is the continuous release of consumer demand, and transportation production has returned to natural growth, and it has entered the stage of improving quality and increasing efficiency."

The online booking platform data also shows that at present, the number of inbound and outbound airline tickets booked during the May 1 holiday exceeds 690,000, an increase of about 17% over a week ago. Thailand, Japan, South Korea, Malaysia and Singapore rank among the top five popular outbound destinations, and the number of outbound travel bookings has nearly tripled year-on-year.

"May Day" is approaching, and Air China will open new Beijing one after another from April 28th — Riyadh, Beijing — Dhaka route, return to Beijing — Madrid — Sao Paulo, Beijing — Madrid — Havana route. By then, the domestic airline route network will cover six continents again.

At the same time, the launching ceremony of the national cultural and tourism consumption promotion activities in 2024 and the home event of the National May Day Cultural and Tourism Consumption Week were also held in Zhuhai on April 23rd. With the theme of "Cultural tourism benefiting the people and sharing a better life", all localities will launch special cultural tourism activities, new consumption scenarios and measures to benefit the people around traditional festivals, legal holidays and summer holidays to stimulate the enthusiasm of cultural tourism consumption.

With the coming of the May 1 holiday, from May 1, Hainan launched the "air ticket is the ticket" travel coupon distribution activity, and tourists outside Hainan Island can exchange tickets for 21 scenic spots in Hainan Island with their tickets for the corresponding time period. During the holidays, Hainan Province will hold more than 150 cultural and artistic, sports events and tourism festivals to welcome tourists from all over the world.

In 2023, the level of residents’ health literacy will increase to 29.70%.

On April 24th, the National Health and Wellness Commission released the health literacy monitoring of China residents in 2023. In 2023, the health literacy level of Chinese residents reached 29.70%, 1.92 percentage points higher than that in 2022, and continued to show a steady improvement trend. 29.70% means that among every 100 people aged 15-69, nearly 30 people have basic health literacy, know basic health knowledge and concepts, master healthy lifestyle and behavior content, and have basic health skills.

The monitoring results show that in 2023, the health literacy level of urban residents in China was 33.25%, and that of rural residents was 26.23%, increasing by 1.31 and 2.45 percentage points respectively compared with 2022. The level of basic knowledge and concept literacy of urban and rural residents is 42.00%, the level of healthy lifestyle and behavior literacy is 32.21%, and the level of basic skills literacy is 26.76%, which is 0.74, 1.58 and 0.76 percentage points higher than that in 2022 respectively. The literacy level of six kinds of health problems from high to low is: safety and first aid literacy 59.33%, scientific health concept literacy 54.71%, health information literacy 41.05%, chronic disease prevention literacy 30.43%, basic medical literacy 28.84% and infectious disease prevention literacy 28.02%.

After the outbreak of COVID-19, all aspects of our lives have been greatly impacted, and education is also an area that has been deeply influenced and changed. Due to the demand of prevention and control, face-to-face teaching was forced to stop. In order to solve the teaching problems of all kinds of students, especially those in the basic education stage, an upsurge of online teaching has been set off around the world since 2020.

Our country has also responded quickly in developing online teaching. As early as January 29, 2020, the Ministry of Education issued a notice: advocating the use of online platforms to achieve "suspension of classes without stopping teaching and learning", so as to gradually restore the order of education and teaching. Subsequently, major universities, primary and secondary schools responded to the call and began to implement online teaching. Although offline teaching was also carried out during the slow epidemic, it was not until this year that offline campus teaching was basically completely restored. It should be said that the implementation of online teaching not only protects the health of teachers and students, but also minimizes the impact of the epidemic on teaching activities.

Of course, the emergence and application of anything new has a complicated impact. There are many difficulties and challenges, but it also brings innovation and hope. With the small series, we will sort out and summarize the influence and enlightenment brought to us by the online courses in the next three years in stages.

Chapter 1

Past lives of online class

As a new teaching method, Internet teaching has two main ways: live teaching and recorded teaching. Live teaching is the real-time classroom teaching and interaction with the help of the network platform, such as the popular Zoom abroad, the Tencent conference commonly used in domestic universities, and all kinds of nails that are collectively scored low by primary school students. Live teaching is equivalent to "moving" the classroom to the network platform. Recording and broadcasting teaching means uploading course videos and related materials made in advance on the network platform for learners to view and learn by themselves. The pioneer of recording and broadcasting teaching is the famous Coursera, and there are similar platforms in China, such as Netease Open Class and China University MOOC.

In fact, before the epidemic, Internet teaching had a broad audience in China, mainly concentrated in college students and adult self-learners. Online courses are widely used in all kinds of postgraduate entrance examinations, overseas examinations and civil service examinations, which makes large-scale training and teaching possible. When Xiao Bian was preparing to go abroad for the exam n years ago, he participated in the GRE full-course and braille class of an institution. At that time, YY voice platform was adopted for online teaching.

Compared with adult learners, students in the basic education stage had less opportunities to contact online teaching before the "online class tide". For basic education, classroom education is not only a form of imparting knowledge, but also an important place for students to make friends and complete socialization. Therefore, compared with the online teaching of graduate students like Xiaobian, students and teachers in primary and secondary schools have encountered many problems in the process of accepting online teaching.

Chapter 2

Difficulties and challenges in online courses

The first challenge that online classes bring to teachers and students in primary and secondary schools is the technical problem. First of all, in terms of network and equipment, some students can’t get a stable network connection due to economic constraints, or they don’t have computers at home. Many students use mobile devices to attend online classes, which may damage their eyesight because of the small screen. In terms of acceptance, primary school students’ acceptance is greater than that of high school students, which may be related to the complexity of the teaching content.

Teachers also have similar network and equipment problems, but what teachers reflect more is their unfamiliarity with teaching software and lack of live broadcast experience. How to organize teaching and interaction in virtual environment is a big challenge for teachers, especially for older teachers, who need to spend more time getting familiar with and applying new technologies. The research points out that most primary and secondary school teachers have negative emotions such as "nervousness and anxiety" when they just turn to online teaching. After using it for a period of time, with the improvement of teachers’ mastery of new technologies, their self-confidence in online teaching has also improved significantly. Technology-related problems are obvious in the initial stage of online course application. With the increase of familiarity, most of the problems have been solved.

Compared with technical problems, the quality of online teaching is the focus of attention. In a nationwide survey of online classes in primary and secondary schools, most parents said that they didn’t recognize the effect of their children’s learning. The main reason was that parents thought that their children’s autonomous learning ability was poor, and they could not effectively supervise and restrain their children because the teachers were not present. Common problems such as absent-mindedness, inattention in listening, and inattention in completing homework. On social media, Xiao Bian also saw a post. A teacher opened the teaching software to check the homework, only to find that the homework photos uploaded by the students were net maps, and all the students uploaded the same photo. What’s even more outrageous is that in order to avoid the teacher’s discovery, some students added different filters to the photos, and when they saw the students’ "Sao operation", the teacher also said that he was speechless.

The classroom in colleges and universities needs more interaction and discussion between teachers and students, while in online courses, teachers and students lack opportunities for face-to-face communication. The form of online teaching is like a "enough paper" for communication and interaction. Although it is only a thin layer, it is difficult to attract students to break it in class. Without asking to turn on the camera, many students are confused, lying down and listening to classes while walking, and the learning effect is naturally not good.

In addition, due to the differences of students’ family environment and family relationship, online teaching will amplify the influence of family background on students. Children from wealthy families will have a better learning environment and a better learning effect than children from low-income families. Therefore, how to improve the teaching quality of online teaching for students in compulsory education stage is a subject worth studying in the future.

Chapter 3

Surprises and opportunities brought by online courses

The popularity of online teaching has promoted the development of internet teaching technology, innovated teaching methods and promoted the development of various online teaching platforms and software. As a nail, the school-based function is convenient for teachers to check and correct homework and improve teaching efficiency. In the process of developing online courses, teachers have innovated teaching methods and accumulated teaching experience supported by new technologies.

Although some students are even more reluctant to participate in interaction in online classes, due to the absence of the Internet, some students who are usually silent in the classroom can participate in classroom interaction more actively after switching to the Internet platform, which is also a pleasant surprise in online teaching.

In the process of online teaching, parents’ participation in their children’s education has increased significantly. Due to the absence of teachers, parents assume the role of supervision and management of their children, which gives many parents who are usually busy with their work and less involved in their children’s studies an opportunity to get to know their children better. In the process of supervising and tutoring children’s homework, the interaction between parents and children has also increased significantly, which is helpful to improve family relations (of course, when the academic performance is not good, it will also have the opposite effect).

The popularity of online courses has also greatly enriched Internet educational resources. In the past, some teaching resources that were difficult to retrieve on the Internet can now be easily found on various platforms, which will help reduce the cost of education and give everyone a more equal opportunity to obtain educational resources. Some things that you used to have to take remedial classes can now be found on the Internet. At the same time, the online teaching resources have realized "paperless" teaching and learning, which is conducive to saving resources and protecting the environment.

More importantly, the popularity of online courses is a new opportunity for friends who are interested in lifelong learning and improve themselves through self-study. For example, on Coursera, you can hear courses from top universities in the world, such as Harvard University and University of California, Berkeley, and most of them are provided free of charge. If your English is not very good, there are many Chinese Coursera courses for you to choose from in Netease open class. The bridge of the internet allows many people who have no chance to study abroad to dream of famous schools. The popularity of online courses is a great boon for lifelong learners.

To sum up, although online education has encountered some difficulties and challenges in the initial stage of application, it is very valuable in the long run. Online teaching not only promotes the innovation of teaching technology, but also greatly enriches educational resources; It greatly reduces the cost of receiving education, is conducive to the popularization and sinking of knowledge, and improves the overall quality of the people. Therefore, in the future, as educators, we should pay more attention to the value of online education and focus on solving the problems found in the teaching process, so that online education can benefit a wider group.

　　CCTV News:This year’s "Government Work Report" pointed out that it is necessary to promote the steady growth of consumption, and take measures to increase the income of urban and rural residents and enhance their spending power.

　　In 2018, the total retail sales of consumer goods in China exceeded 38 trillion, and consumption became the "main engine" of economic growth for five consecutive years; In 2019, we will promote the formation of a strong domestic market, continuously release the potential of domestic demand, make up for shortcomings in services, and adapt to new demands. Consumption upgrades, where does the money go? Where can consumption tap the potential?

　　News link:

　　According to the preliminary accounting data of the National Bureau of Statistics, China’s GDP in 2018 was 90.03 trillion yuan, an increase of 6.6% over the previous year. The contribution rate of final consumption expenditure to GDP growth in the whole year was 76.2%, an increase of 18.6 percentage points over the previous year.

　　Where does the consumption upgrade money go?

　　Yang Chengzhang: Information, health, culture and tourism are the new consumption trends.

　　Yang Chengzhang, member of Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference: The proportion of digital consumption and information consumption is increasing, and a large amount of consumption is obtained through digital information. Healthy consumption and cultural consumption are also a trend of high-quality consumption. For example, it can be seen from a family of four generations that each level has its own consumption hotspots and consumption patterns, especially the elderly and children, who were relatively disadvantaged groups in consumption, but now these two groups are precisely places with great potential. On the whole, China’s consumption potential is still very large. The problem is how to release the potential, become the current consumption hotspot, and drive consumer demand, which is very important for our current economic growth.

　　Crown: Engel coefficient innovation is low, "good life" becomes mainstream

　　Wang Guan, financial commentator of Yangguang: Engel coefficient refers to the percentage of money spent by a person or a family on food, which accounts for the income of the whole family. In 1978, China’s Engel coefficient was 58%, and about 60% of Chinese’s money was spent on food. Last year, our Engel coefficient dropped to 28.4%, which is a very great achievement. Today, Chinese spends less than 30% on food.

　　So where did the money go? It is understood that in 2018, the box office of Chinese movies reached about 60 billion yuan, while domestic tourism reached 5.5 billion, and outbound travel was close to 150 million. In other words, people have turned to cultural consumption, from traditional dietary consumption to more consumption that meets people’s needs for a better life.

　　Where does the potential of consumption go?

　　News link:

　　According to the Ministry of Commerce, there are three major measures to promote consumption this year: First, promote urban consumption and promote consumption upgrading, including upgrading a number of pedestrian streets and optimizing the layout of convenience stores; The second is to expand rural consumption and promote agricultural products to enter the city and industrial products to the countryside; The third is to develop service consumption, optimize service supply, and focus on filling shortcomings such as old-age care services and domestic services.

　　Yang Chengzhang: The consumption concept should be innovated when changing the consumption pattern.

　　Yang Chengzhang, member of Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference: The consumption concepts of different income groups are in the process of collision between the old and the new. For example, older people may not understand the moonlight clan born in 1980s and 1990s, because the traditional culture of China advocates frugality and housekeeping, so they should save money to live, not borrow money. But saving money to live is a way, and borrowing money to live is also a way. Saving money is to use the value created now in the future, and borrowing money to live is to have confidence in the future, so everyone’s consumption concept is changing, and there is still a lot of room for improvement here.

　　In addition, consumption patterns should be constantly innovated. For example, a house should not only be large, but also comfortable. In some developed countries, although the house area is not large, the decoration is particularly particular. Therefore, we should follow the house to explore consumption, follow the car to explore consumption, follow the mobile phone to explore consumption, follow the high-speed rail to explore consumption and fully tap the consumption potential.

　　Crown: Driving High-quality Employment by Consumption Upgrading Dongfeng

　　Wang Guan, commentator of Yangguang Finance and Economics: It is very important to promote consumption in order to stabilize growth. Steady growth is actually to stabilize employment, and employment is the biggest livelihood.

　　With stable employment and increased income, we will have confidence. We should take advantage of the east wind of consumption upgrading to promote high-quality employment. For example: B&B renovation. In some rural areas of Shandong and Zhejiang, the rebuilt homestay is even more expensive than a five-star hotel, and it brings a series of production work, such as water and electricity heating, pipeline design and construction of the whole appearance, and so on.

　　In addition, how to develop and use the network online and how to publicize it have brought more detailed work needs, so with the consumption upgrading, the whole employment will be upgraded.

　　Yang Chengzhang: Consumption is the stabilizer of economic growth.

　　Yang Chengzhang, member of Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference: Consumption is the stabilizer of current economic growth, because the contribution rate of consumption reaches 78%. At present, GDP growth in the world is on the decline, and it is still difficult for our external demand to increase substantially. What does China rely on under such circumstances? It depends on consumption. When consumption stabilizes, the economy will naturally stabilize. This year, the government’s series of policies focus on two points: one is consumption, and the other is private enterprises. The consumption potential is the greatest, because the population of 1.4 billion is the largest market.

　　Crown: Seize the strategic opportunity period of consumption upgrading to promote the high-quality development of China economy.

　　Wang Guan, financial commentator of Yangguang: Seize the strategic opportunity period of consumption upgrading and promote the high-quality economic development of China. In the past 40 years of reform and opening up, we have enjoyed huge dividends, and the domestic demand is unprecedented. Not only China, but also the whole world is very optimistic about this strong consumer demand, so our supply-side structural reform should keep up with this rhythm.

　　Today, consumers in China have changed from buying cheap and affordable products to buying quality and brands. Under such circumstances, how can China’s economy reach a new level? We bid farewell to the shortage economy in the past and entered the quality economy today. To realize the high-quality development of China’s economy, we need a series of supporting measures. This issue deserves our long-term consideration.
