Recently, the China Biodiversity Conservation and Green Development Foundation (hereinafter referred to as the "Green Development Association") baiji expedition team reported that two suspected baiji dolphins were found in Wuhu section of the Yangtze River, and released related videos. The news that the baiji dolphin, which has been declared functionally extinct for ten years, reappears in the Yangtze River is all exciting.

Regrettably, some experts later judged according to the video that the expedition team photographed the finless porpoise instead of the baiji.

At 8 o’clock in the morning on the 16th, Weibo, the official of the Green Development Association, sent a message again, saying that some experts believed that "the scientific research team may be able to see the target by combining various factors, but it is not very sure to take a large enough and clear photo".

The relevant staff of the Green Hair Association later told The Paper (www.thepaper.cn) that the experts who participated in the research and judgment of related videos have not yet given the final judgment, and it is not yet certain that the expedition team photographed the baiji.

How to distinguish white dolphin, finless porpoise and Chinese white dolphin? What are their respective characteristics? 

It is relatively easy to distinguish them from each other by the length of kisses.. On May 16th, an aquatic expert from Wuhan Baiji Dolphin Protection Foundation introduced to The Paper that the kiss of Baiji Dolphin was very obvious. The kiss length of adult baiji dolphins is generally about 30 cm, while that of Chinese white dolphins is generally less than 20 cm. The finless porpoise’s kiss is shorter and easier to identify.

Body color is also the key factor to distinguish them.The white dolphin’s body color has not changed much in its life, and its back is bluish gray and its abdomen is white. However, the body color of Chinese white dolphins changes obviously, and the back of their larvae is dark gray. When they grow up, the black gray on the back will gradually fade away, showing dark gray spots, and the background color will be bluish white. In adulthood, it will mainly be white, and with the change of water temperature, it will show different degrees of pink, while the abdomen will always be white. The finless porpoise is basically black and gray, and the color is the deepest among the three.

In addition, the dorsal fin of the baiji dolphin is closer to the back of the body and shorter; The dorsal fin of Chinese white dolphin is higher and closer to the middle of the back; The finless porpoise has no dorsal fin.

"The white dolphin lives in the Yangtze River. Because the water is turbid and its vision has basically deteriorated, its eyes are very small, as big as small mung beans; The Chinese white dolphins live in the sea, their eyesight is quite good, and their eyes are much bigger. " The expert said, "And from the perspective of posture, the white dolphin is more elegant and the Chinese white dolphin is stronger."

Ten years ago, the baiji dolphin was declared "functional extinction", which means that this large animal, which was once at the top of the energy pyramid and food chain of the Yangtze River ecosystem, has lost its position and function in the Yangtze River ecosystem and lost its ability to reproduce itself.

The living conditions of finless porpoises and Chinese white dolphins are also in jeopardy. On May 9th, the symposium on upgrading Yangtze finless porpoise to national first-class protected animals was held. The related technical report compiled by Institute of Aquatic Sciences of Chinese Academy of Sciences showed that the protection of Yangtze finless porpoise has entered the most critical period, and it may be the last chance to save the population at present.

As one of the only two cetaceans in the list of national key protected wild animals (the other is the baiji), the news of Chinese white dolphin’s death has been exposed continuously since this year, and it has even been captured by fishermen and slaughtered in the street.

White dolphin

English name: Yangtze River Dolphin

Latin name: Lipotes vexillifer

Quantity: It has not been found since 2000.

Mammalia, Cetacea, Freshwater Dolphinidae and Baiji, also known as "aquatic pandas", are endemic to China. The national first-class protected animals are listed as "CR" in the Red List of IUCN Endangered Species. The body is spindle-shaped, the whole body skin is bare and hairless, with a long kiss. Mainly distributed in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, feeding on a variety of fish and other species. Due to the development of water conservancy projects, the habitat of Baiji dolphin has been lost or degraded, and the Baiji dolphin has not been found since 2000 due to ship traffic, accidental fishing and port construction.

The chinese white dolphin – sousa chinensis

English name: Indo-Pacific Humpbacked Dolphin

Latin name: Sousa chinensis

Quantity: about 1200-1300.

Mammals, Cetaceans, Dolphins, Dolphins. The national first-class protected animals are listed as "NT" by the IUCN Red List of Endangered Species. Chinese white dolphins are slender and spindle-shaped, with long and narrow beaks, which generally fade from primary dark gray to adult pink. Mainly distributed in the Indian Ocean, the east coast of India, China and Australia. In China, it is mainly distributed in the southeast coast, inhabiting the waters of continental shelf, and the water depth is less than 100m m. The population of Chinese white dolphins is still decreasing due to the loss of habitat and accidental catching of other fish.

Yangtze finless porpoise

English name: Yangtze Finless Porpoise

Latin name: neophocaena phocaenoides asiae orientalis

Quantity: 1000-1800

Mammalia, Cetaceae, porpoises and finless porpoises, commonly known as porpoises, are the only freshwater subspecies of finless porpoises endemic to China. The national second-class protected animals are listed as "VU" by the IUCN Red List of Endangered Species. Small size, blunt head, forehead bulge slightly forward; The snout is short and wide, the upper and lower jaws are almost the same length, the snout is short and wide, and the whole body is leaden or grayish white, which looks like a dolphin. The Yangtze finless porpoise is a unique freshwater dolphin, which is only found in the Yangtze River basin. Their intelligence level is similar to that of gorillas, and they generally lack dorsal fins. They eat fish and shrimp, but the ecological damage caused by overfishing makes it difficult for finless porpoises to find food. In some parts of the Yangtze River, the food chain of finless porpoises has been broken.

About IUCN and Red List of Endangered Species;

Founded in 1948, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) provides relevant data, evaluation and analysis for the global nature conservation work, and provides knowledge and technical support to the public, non-governmental organizations and the private sector.

The Red List of Endangered Species was compiled in 1963 by the Species Survival Committee (SSC) in cooperation with several species assessment agencies. Assess the extinction risk of thousands of species every year and classify them into nine different protection levels. This directory collects information on threats, ecological needs, where to live, and protection actions to reduce or avoid species extinction, which has been widely accepted and applied around the world.

About Wuhan Baidolphin Conservation Foundation:

Wuhan Baiji Conservation Foundation (WBCF) was established on December 25th, 1996, and it is the first public fund for the protection of finless porpoises and their habitats in China.

Since 1997, the Foundation has participated in and supported all the large-scale finless porpoises’ investigation activities in 2006 and 2012, and promoted the protection projects of important habitats of finless porpoises, including Poyang Lake and Dongting Lake. At the same time, the Foundation strongly supports the participation in the ex-situ conservation project of the Yangtze finless porpoise in Tianezhou and Hewangmiao (integration embankment), laying the foundation for the Yangtze finless porpoise conservation project.

Flash delivery plans to go public in the United States: Last year, the revenue of 4.5 billion yuan has turned losses, and the average income of a single order has dropped to less than 17 yuan.

Ten years after its establishment, Flash plans to go public in the United States.

According to the official website of the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), on September 13th, BingExLimited (stock code: "FLX") submitted a prospectus to be listed on NASDAQ, with China International Finance Corporation, CLSA, Deutsche Bank and UBS Investment Bank as underwriters.

Since its commercial operation in 2014, as of June 30, 2024, Flash Transport has about 2.7 million registered riders, and its service coverage has expanded to 295 cities in China.

According to the data of the third party iResearch, according to the revenue in 2023, Flash Delivery is the largest independent express delivery service provider in China, with a market share of about 33.9%. According to the prospectus, unit economic benefit and replicable network are the core competitive advantages of Flash, which enables the company to continuously expand its scale and order volume and improve its profitability.

Xue Peng, the founder of Flash, is a veteran in the logistics industry. He has been the CEO since the establishment of the company and has been a director since May 2014. Before the establishment of Flash Delivery, China Express Logistics Integrated Service Platform Easy Post was established and developed. Yu Hongjian, co-founder, director and CEO of Flash, is Xue Peng’s old partner. He worked with Xue Peng for many years before he founded Flash.

According to the prospectus, before the IPO, Xue Peng held 22.7% equity and 74.6% voting rights; Yu Hongjian holds 1.6% equity and 0.5% voting rights. Among institutional shareholders, SIG, CDH Venture Capital and Shun Wei Capital hold 9.7%, 8.9% and 7.8% respectively. They have 3.2%, 2.9% and 2.6% voting rights respectively.  

According to Tianyancha, Flash has gone through more than ten rounds of financing since its establishment ten years ago. The latest round of financing was completed in 2021. According to the prospectus, in March, April and May of 2021, Flash received 747.8 million yuan from the D-2 round of financing.

In 2023, it turned losses into profits, and the annual gross profit margin increased year by year, but it was less than 10%.

As a one-to-one express delivery platform in the instant delivery industry in the same city, Flash delivery is a pioneer in the instant delivery industry in the same city, providing various exclusive services for different types of delivery for customers, and the share of Flash delivery is the largest according to the revenue in 2023. 

Compared with other real-time delivery platforms, flash delivery once said that its biggest feature is focusing on "one-to-one express delivery", which means that a flash operator is responsible for the whole service process from picking up items from the sender to delivering them to the recipient, and a flash operator can only take one order at a time, and will not take other orders until the current order ends. For this reason, many users tend to choose more respectful exclusive services when faced with the delivery needs of important items such as gifts.

According to the prospectus, it is estimated that from 2023 to 2028, the independent on-demand express delivery market in China will grow at a compound annual growth rate of 27.8%, exceeding the compound annual growth rate of 19.1% of the overall on-demand delivery market in China. By 2028, the overall on-demand distribution market in China will increase to 809.6 billion yuan, and the independent on-demand express delivery market in China will increase to 53.237 billion yuan.

However, at present, the competition in the instant delivery industry in the same city is fierce, and SF Express in the same city, Meituan Delivery in the takeaway department and Dada Group in the e-commerce department are all accelerating to seize the market.

Dada Group (Nasdaq: DADA) was listed on NASDAQ Exchange on June 5, 2020. SF City (9699.HK) was listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in December 2021. Among them, the "first instant retail share" Dada Group has not yet achieved profitability. As the largest third-party instant delivery service in China, Shunfeng Tongcheng started to exert its strength. In 2023, its revenue reached 12.4 billion yuan, an increase of over 20%, and it achieved full-year profit for the first time. In the first half of this year, the income was nearly 6.88 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 19.6%; The net profit attributable to the owners of the company reached a record high of about 62.17 million yuan, up 105.1% year-on-year. It is worth noting that after landing in the capital market, the share price of Dada Group has fallen by over 90% compared with the issue price, and the share price of Shunfeng City has fallen by over 30%.

The prospectus shows that the flash has achieved profitability in 2023. The increase in customer demand has promoted higher order volume, and the growing number of riders has enhanced network density and delivery capacity, which has brought about organic growth in customer base and order volume.

Specifically, in the past three years, the revenue of flash delivery was 3.04 billion yuan, 4.003 billion yuan and 4.529 billion yuan respectively, of which 2022 and 2023 increased by 31.6% and 13.1% respectively. In the first half of this year, the revenue from flash transmission was 2.285 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 7.6%. 

In the past three years, the net profit was-291 million yuan,-180 million yuan and 110.5 million yuan respectively, of which the year-on-year loss was reduced by 38.1% in 2022, and it turned losses into profits in 2023. In the first half of this year, the net profit was 123.7 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of nearly two times. In 2023, the net profit rate was 2.4% and the net loss rate was 4.5%. The net profit rate in the first half of this year was 5.4%, compared with 2% in the same period last year. 

The prospectus pointed out that the realization of profit in 2023 was mainly due to the increase in government subsidies determined by relevant government departments as appropriate.

In the past three years, the gross profit margin has increased year by year, 6.2%, 6.5% and 8.7% respectively. The gross profit margin in the first half of this year was 11.3%, compared with 8.6% in the same period last year.

The average charge for flash delivery is 16.5 yuan per order: the income is declining year by year, which is obviously higher than that of peers.

According to the prospectus, all the income from flash delivery comes from the fees charged for providing on-demand express delivery services to customers. Flash delivery provides a unified pricing model, and the floating rate of each order is calculated according to the formulas of city, delivery distance, package weight and volume, and night surcharge. If the supply is insufficient due to bad weather or other reasons, the "peak price" may be adopted.

According to reports, the flash network mainly recruits riders through crowdsourcing mode, most of them are crowdsourcing individuals, and a small number of them are recruited from outsourcing distribution agencies in a few cities. After back training, riders become flash riders. According to the prospectus, with high-value services and crowdsourcing mode, we can maintain the light asset business model, reduce fixed costs and maintain high scalability, and quickly enter more cities.

Specifically, the number of registered flash riders increased from about 1.1 million in early 2021 to about 2.7 million on June 30, 2024. The number of registered customers increased from about 31.1 million in early 2021 to about 88.9 million on June 30, 2024. In addition, the number of daily orders for each active rider increased from 7.2 orders in 2021 to 8 orders in 2022, and further increased to 8.8 orders in 2023 and 9.3 orders in the six months to June 30, 2024.

In the past three years, the number of flash orders was 158.6 million, 213.4 million and 270.7 million. In the first half of this year, 138.1 million orders were completed. The corresponding income is 3.04 billion yuan, 4.003 billion yuan, 4.529 billion yuan and 2.285 billion yuan respectively. Based on this calculation, the average income of a single order in the past three years and the first half of this year was 19.2 yuan, 18.8 yuan, 16.7 yuan and 16.5 yuan respectively, showing a downward trend year by year.

It is worth noting that the prospectus quoted the data of the third party iResearch, showing that within six months as of June 30, 2024, Flash delivery can charge a fee at an average price of 16.5 yuan per order, which is significantly higher than that charged by other major participants in the on-demand distribution industry.

However, in terms of risk factors, the prospectus mentioned that although Flash does not intend to compete with aggressive pricing policies that are not conducive to long-term growth, it cannot guarantee that it will not be forced to lower the delivery price of customers, increase the customer incentives we provide or increase our marketing and other expenses to attract and retain customers due to competition, supervision or other reasons, in order to cope with the competitive pressure.

In addition, the salary and reward paid to "Flash Ride" are the largest components of the income cost, accounting for 90.5%, 90.3% and 87.8% of the total income in the past three years, 85.4% in the first half of this year and 87.9% in the same period last year. According to the prospectus, this shows that even in the rapid expansion stage, flash delivery can maintain a stable cost structure in the same period.

As for the growth strategy, the prospectus points out that it plans to continue to expand market share, broaden service scope and application scenarios, strengthen market-leading brand image and invest in advanced and innovative technologies. According to the prospectus, the flash delivery plan improves the penetration rate of the existing market through differentiated distribution services. At present, flashover is still in the early stage of covering the target market, and the geographical coverage of flashover will be extended to more cities in China in the near future. In addition, it plans to use its highly scalable business to expand service products to cover more application scenarios.

Don’t be afraid of grinding! Ground glass nodules are actually inert.

  Pulmonary nodule has become a high-frequency word on the physical examination list. People pay attention to pulmonary nodules, even to the point of panic, all because part of the nodules is early lung cancer. Especially when the word "ground glass" appears in the inspection report, the patient is more anxious and thinks that the difference is cancer.

  Chen Liang, director of the Department of Thoracic Surgery of jiangsu province hospital (the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University), told the reporter that with the increase of cases, the medical consensus on pulmonary nodules is constantly being updated. Now the ground-glass nodules have been classified into the "relative safety zone". As long as the word "ground glass" appears, the nodules are inert, so patients need not be afraid, just follow up regularly. In this big coffee health class, let’s learn more about pulmonary nodules!   

  With the word "ground glass", nodules are inert.

  "Many lung cancers are developed from ground glass nodules!" "Be careful when there are solid components in ground glass nodules, and the malignant probability of semi-ground and semi-solid nodules is the highest!" — — This is the main point that will be mentioned in many popular science of pulmonary nodules before. If there is a "ground glass nodule" on the physical examination list, the fear of patients with pulmonary nodules will escalate. Director Chen Liang told Yangzi Evening News/Zi Niu News reporter that this concept needs to be updated. There are ground glass nodules, but it is relatively safe.

  Director Chen Liang explained that infectious diseases such as tuberculosis and fungal infection and chronic inflammation may produce nodules on the lungs. Ground-glass nodules are flaky blurred shadows that we can see on chest CT, just like ground glass. Ground glass nodules are divided into "pure grinding" and "mixed grinding". The diameter of pure ground glass nodules within two centimeters in the international guidelines can be followed up; There are ground glass components and some solid components in the "mixed grinding". The guidelines for this kind of nodules also stipulate that: if the diameter is less than 6 mm, there is no need for follow-up or annual follow-up; 6-8 mm, it is recommended to follow up once every 6-12 months; Those larger than 8 mm are followed up every 3-6 months.

  The observation and summary of pulmonary nodules in medicine are also updated. The consensus now is that even if it is already an invasive adenocarcinoma, as long as there is ground glass, it is a low-grade malignant and inert tumor, and the surgical prognosis is excellent.

  Don’t intervene too early, even minimally invasive surgery is invasive.

  Director Chen Liang said that such patients are often encountered in outpatient clinics. This hospital found nodules by filming and quickly went to a large hospital for enhanced CT or even PET-CT;. Some patients will give an example, "Some people around me have nodules smaller than me, and they are all malignant", so they strongly demand surgery. There will also be patients with three or four millimeters of nodule reports coming from other places to "seek an answer".

  Patients often want big experts to determine whether their nodules are cancer. "But the eyes of experts are not microscopes, and sometimes they can’t completely determine whether they are benign or malignant." Director Chen Liang said, is it possible that two or three millimeters of nodules are malignant or have malignant "potential"? It’s a small chance, but it’s possible, but is it wrong for the doctor not to operate? Not really. When a doctor watches a film, what he really needs to grasp is the opportunity of intervention, so as to make the patient benefit the most.

  Small nodules of 3-4 mm, some hospitals and doctors may also advise patients to operate, which is actually overtreatment. Minimally invasive surgery is also invasive, and there will be injuries. It is definitely not the optimal solution to let patients who could have been "calm" for several years, more than ten years, or even without intervention for life, bear surgical injuries and various risks prematurely.

  Director Chen Liang, for example, said that the patients with pulmonary nodules who were followed up in his hand were suspected to be carcinoma in situ. After 12 years of observation, it was confirmed that they were still carcinoma in situ after surgery. "Atypical hyperplasia, cancer in situ, now think they are precancerous lesions, not cancer. From carcinoma in situ to minimally invasive carcinoma, it seems to be ‘ Advanced ’ In fact, they are only 1-2 mm apart, and the progress is very slow. Many patients are followed up for 5-10 years, and grasping the indications and timely surgery will not affect their health. " Director Chen Liang said that they spend the most time in outpatient clinics, but instead advise patients not to worry, and they can afford to wait.

  Big coffee biography

  Chen Liang, director of thoracic surgery department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University, chairman of the thoracic surgery branch of Jiangsu Medical Association, and president-designate of the thoracic surgeon branch of Jiangsu Medical Association. Committed to the surgical treatment of early lung cancer, he is good at the diagnosis and treatment of thoracic surgery-related diseases, especially lung segments. He has completed more than 1,500 cases of thoracoscopic anatomical pneumonectomy, including more than 500 cases of segmental pneumonectomy and subsegmental pneumonectomy. Thoracoscopic subsegmental pneumonectomy was reported for the first time in the world, which was widely recognized by people in the industry. He has performed surgical demonstrations at conferences at home and abroad for many times, and his technology has spread throughout the country and even abroad. Successfully performed the world’s first mixed reality (MR) assisted lung tumor resection; In China, the concept of "accurate pneumonectomy under the guidance of 3D-CTBA" was first put forward, and the first 3D-CTBA reconstruction system, DeepInsight, was developed in cooperation with Neusoft Company, and the software was successfully copyrighted, which has been widely used in China, including Taiwan Province. He has made many special reports and surgical demonstrations at international and domestic thoracic surgery conferences, and is committed to promoting accurate thoracoscopic pneumonectomy.

  He presided over the compilation of the first Atlas of Thoracoscopic Anatomical Segmental Pulmonary Resection in China and the first Atlas of Endoscopic Anatomical Segmental Pulmonary Resection in the world.

  The image is hanging in the air, and it can be seen synchronously 30 kilometers away from here.

  What kind of nodule needs surgery? Director Chen Liang said that there are "standards" in domestic and foreign guidelines at present. Generally speaking, surgery will only be considered if it is greater than 8 mm. If the nodule is suspected to be carcinoma in situ, micro-invasive carcinoma, or the size, shape and density of the nodule change, follow-up or elective surgery can be selected. If the nodule is located at the periphery of the lung, it is easier to handle, and local resection can be used, with little damage to the lung; If the position is deep, the pulmonary vessels and bronchi may be damaged during the "forced" resection, resulting in postoperative hemoptysis, limited lung expansion and other complications. "At present, minimally invasive surgery has been able to achieve anatomical lung resection, that is, to dissect a lung segment from the lung lobe, while ensuring the margin and minimizing the damage." Jiangsu province hospital is one of the earliest hospitals in China to carry out pneumonectomy, and has trained many domestic thoracic surgeons. The "Anatomical pneumonectomy course" of thoracic surgery has just passed the final certification of the Royal College of Surgeons, and it is also the first training course of pneumonectomy in the world.

  In 2017, jiangsu province hospital Thoracic Surgery completed the world’s first thoracoscopic segmental resection of early lung cancer assisted by mixed reality (MR) technology. In 2019, with the help of 5G technology, the first international 5G+MR remote real-time combined segmental pneumonectomy was completed. Under MR technology, after the doctor wears special glasses, the lung image data is "dragged" from the computer screen through artificial intelligence three-dimensional reconstruction, suspended in the air and shared in real time. Director Chen Liang, who is in the hospital headquarters, can mark the image remotely with voice and marker pen, and every instruction detail will appear clearly and without delay in the operating field of the surgeon in the operating room of Pukou Branch, 30 kilometers away. With the support of new technology, the treatment of pulmonary nodules can be more and more minimally invasive and accurate, and difficult remote surgery has also become possible.

  See the real pulmonary nodules from the numbers.

  Director Chen Liang said that jiangsu province hospital Thoracic Surgery conducted a cohort study of lung cancer in the physical examination center of the hospital. From May 2019 to 2020 (except January-March of the COVID-19 epidemic), a total of 10,225 cases were examined by CT, of which the nodule detection rate was 74.1%, and lung cancer confirmed by pathology accounted for three thousandths of the total number of people examined. It can be seen from this data that the proportion of cancer in pulmonary nodules is still not high.

  At the same time, the number of pulmonary nodule operations in jiangsu province hospital was 1,836 in 2016 and 4,393 in 2020, an increase of 139% in five years. At present, the malignant rate of surgical patients is more than 90%.

  The increase of pulmonary nodule cases is mainly related to the increase of incidence, the increase of detection rate after the improvement of imaging examination accuracy and the early diagnosis.

China has its own unique advantages in building a network power.

  Editor’s Note: The 5th world internet conference opened in Wuzhen, Zhejiang on November 7th, and the Supreme Leader of president sent a congratulatory letter. The Supreme Leader pointed out that today’s world is experiencing a broader and deeper scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation.

  Facing the changes and challenges of the global Internet, what kind of answer will China give? The world is looking forward to it..

  In different historical stages of the development of human society, the social production network has been expanding, from one country to many countries, and from many countries to the final globalization. In this process, the social production network has become increasingly complicated in space, between industries and even within products. At the same time, the key content of production network exchange has gradually changed from agricultural products, industrial products and capital flow to data flow and information flow. Economic powers also show different industrial characteristics at different stages: agricultural power, industrial power, trade power and financial power. Under the background of the internet age, information flow and data flow are becoming new means of production, and at the same time, they are becoming more and more important contents of national security, and economic powers will increasingly rely on network powers.

  The world today is experiencing an information revolution, which will bring another qualitative leap in productivity and have a profound impact on the development of international politics, economy, culture, society, ecology and military affairs. China must seize this historical opportunity, and use information flow to drive the flow of technology, capital, talents and materials to promote high-quality economic development. China has its own unique advantages in building a network power.

  China has the advantage of market scale in building a network power.

  The network has the characteristics of increasing marginal revenue. Every time a new user is added to the network, its scale revenue will be greater. China has a population of nearly 1.4 billion, and the existing Internet users and mobile phone users are huge. From children to the elderly, almost everyone can use smart phones. China’s population advantage is a huge supporting force for building a network power, which is an innate condition that many developed countries in the world do not have. There are world-class Internet companies like Ali and Tencent in China, which is inseparable from the huge domestic market in China. Making full use of population advantages and giving full play to the role of population base can make China’s network power construction get twice the result with half the effort and form a huge scale effect on economic development.

  Today’s network era is already different from the traditional free Internet era, and innovations in content and form have spawned various profit models. The network era will not bury anyone’s talent, and every participant can use the network to create wealth. They are both creators and users of Internet services. Therefore, building an all-round cyberspace and expanding the coverage of network infrastructure can make China’s market scale advantage play to the greatest extent in the construction of a network power.

  Building a strong network requires higher talents and infrastructure.

  The characteristics of a network power are as follows: a country has strong technical strength, strong ability to resist network risks and network governance, which can achieve a high level of network efficiency as well as a high level of network security. No matter what stage of social development, talents and infrastructure are two important pillars of building an economic power. The innovation ability of the former depends on the national talent training and incentive system, while the latter depends on the government’s investment, supervision and maintenance of infrastructure. The construction of a network power still needs to rely on the construction of Internet talents and network infrastructure.

  For a micro-enterprise, the Internet is first and foremost a technology-intensive industry, which cannot be supported by first-class technical talents. After more than 20 years of unremitting efforts, China has gained gratifying achievements and rich technical experience and professionals in the field of Internet technology. Since 2003, the number of related patents applied by China has increased by 10% year by year. Stimulated by market demand, a large number of college graduates flock to Internet enterprises after graduation, providing a large number of IT talents for the Internet industry. The younger talent team is more conducive to technological progress and innovation. In 2017, among the top ten Internet companies in the world ranked by market value, China’s Alibaba, Tencent, Baidu and JD.COM occupied four of them. China’s Internet practice and innovation is based on its own national conditions, permeating all aspects of people’s daily life, and basic production and life have been closely linked with intelligent networks. However, although the total resources of Internet science and technology talents in China are large, high-end technical talents are still scarce resources.

  For a country, especially for a big country like China, the construction of a network power has put forward higher requirements for infrastructure. The infrastructure referred to by a network power includes not only telecommunications and Internet infrastructure construction in a narrow sense, but also the interaction between the network economy and the real economy. Network infrastructure also includes network basic theory and core technology, as well as related facilities related to network security. For example, information infrastructure network security protection, network security information co-ordination mechanism, means and platform. "To get rich, build roads first", and network infrastructure is the "highway" in today’s information age.

  The essence of a network power is an information technology power. Network development is supported by technology, and the core technology is the biggest difficulty that restricts China’s construction into a network power. With the core technology, we can have a comparative advantage in technology, from following developed countries to completing "overtaking in corners". The birth of the core technology is to try it out through massive trial and error. This not only requires that the scientific research assessment mechanism should be inclusive and allow researchers to fail; But also put forward higher requirements for the financing mechanism, that is, the financing mechanism should also be inclusive and tolerant of repeated failures in technical research. Therefore, our scientific research assessment mechanism should be reformed, from short-term and high-frequency assessment to longer-term assessment, from quantitative assessment to quality assessment and peer reputation assessment. In addition, for the financing mechanism, it also requires the development of equity financing, the development of multi-level capital markets, and the change of the financing structure mainly relying on bank loans.

  China’s construction of a network power is facing the problem of integration with the real economy

  Undoubtedly, the development of the Internet has played a positive role in promoting economic development, but at the same time, new technologies will have an impact on traditional industries. This "creative destruction" of the network economy has also caused a certain degree of impact on the real economy. For example, the retail service industry tends to weaken under the impact of the Internet. We need to understand this contradiction from two aspects: on the one hand, like other new technologies and new production methods in history, network technology has improved the efficiency of information flow and production, and it is the "cake" of the whole economic output. The distribution problems arising in this process require the state to maintain basic social equity through taxation, subsidies and redistribution; On the other hand, the real economy and the Internet can achieve a benign interaction and achieve a win-win situation for both sides.

John Woo denies directing "Rain of Swords" and says he will pursue his boyfriend

John Woo once again denied that he directed "Rain of Swords" Su Zhaobin made fun of Tsui Hark

    At the press conference, John Woo’s first words after taking the stage were: "I am just a producer in this drama, sitting next to the monitor and not talking. The real director is Su Zhaobin." After "clarifying" at the Venice Film Festival that he was not the director of "Sword Rain", Woo once again emphasized this point on the same day, and immediately won a lot of applause from the crowd. He also joked that if he had not thought that this was Su Zhaobin’s film, he would have added a shot of the white dove to the film. Su Zhaobin responded with more humor: "I added the white dove, I put a small white bird in it."

    For the producer Woo Yu Sen, Su Zhaobin also praised, "There will be a lot of pride in his movies, because he is such a person, just like Xu Ke, who has shot so many strange things. In fact, he is such a person." Then Su Zhaobin said as if he suddenly woke up: "Oh! Did I offend Xu Ke?" In "Sword Rain", Yeoh and Zheng Yusheng play husband and wife. The two actors are 11 years apart in age. For this sibling relationship, Su Zhaobin did not feel anything wrong. "Now it is a trend for older girls to match a younger boy. More and more stars are like this, and everyone will not care about age."

Interview with Wang Jing of "More than Endless" | Can Zhang Songwen continue to "go crazy"

1905 movie network feature Let’s start with a report from 20 years ago.


The first case of "hepatitis B discrimination" occurred in Anhui in 2003. The relevant media followed up on the incident and published an article "Anti-Discrimination Claims of Chinese 120 million".



The article quickly caused social effects, and finally in early 2010, the relevant state departments issued the "Notice on Further Regulating Enrollment and Employment Examination Programs to Safeguard the Enrollment and Employment Rights of Hepatitis B Surface Antigen Carriers", and hepatitis B patients and hepatitis B virus carriers finally ushered in the spring.


After 20 years, the film based on the incident and starring in it has finally been released.



But the film is not purely a re-enactment of the original event. "The final result it presents may be a little confusing to everyone, but all the original starting points are still about a character." In an interview with 1905 Film Network, the director said his original intention of creation.


The post-80s director, who graduated from the Beijing Film Academy and made commercials and documentaries, later joined the team and served as an assistant director for other works. Finally, 10 years after graduation, he developed the urge to create his own films and began the creation of "More than Endless".


At least this creation is a "more than endless" for him.


01.


In 2007, Wang Jing graduated from the Beijing Film Academy, and she always wanted to shoot her own work, but she was not in a hurry. "I was wondering what kind of movie would be my first film."


In the process, he thought about making a story related to himself, about coming to Beijing in 2003, maybe a story about Beipiao, "but I would feel that this thing is not satisfied. China is so big, if it is just a personal story, it is not representative enough." Until one day, when the producer Tang Yan, a veteran former media person, talked about the media story of that era, "I think it may be a good entry point."


This career setting opened Wang Jing’s desire to create, "He is originally an observer to observe society, and he is also a participant, participating in this society. And the core of the story itself is an idealism."


After Wang Jing finished filming "Children of Jianghu", he quickly threw himself into his own creation. The first draft was completed in early 2018, but everyone was not satisfied, "It was released at that time, and after we watched it, we didn’t want to output too much homogeneous content." Although everyone was frustrated, they readjusted their state and began to create another draft.



Although the creation has been slowly adjusted from the original North Drift to the current state, for Wang Jing, "I always want to tell a story of self-doubt, which is the growth of people." Eventually, in the movie, Han Dong (Bai Ke, played) will ask himself if he is suitable for this matter when he encounters difficulties. "This kind of emotion is actually very similar to the emotion I had when I first arrived at Nortel. I tried to’translate ‘this emotion from me to this character."


02.


Producer Jia Zhangke believed in the story from the moment he decided to start creating the project.


For Wang Jing, Beijing in 2003 was the beginning of a realization: "I had just come to Beijing to attend university and was a stranger, but I lacked the unique emotion of the social atmosphere and the relationship between people at that time. Director Jia was very excited to share with me a lot of things about their time."



In 2003, it seemed to be very far away from everyone, but it seemed very close. Wang Jing still remembered that when he and Jia Zhangke were preparing "Mountains and Rivers", they saw a lot of video footage, "There is a period in my impression around 1999, everyone is in good spirits, they are all in suits and shoes, I will think they are very far away from me, but I think it will only be more than ten years."


During the preparation process, Wang Jing couldn’t help but lament that China’s development speed was too fast, which seemed to be only a few years away, but from the clothes of the public and the architecture of society, "We often wonder how we can not wear gangs."



The entire art team had put a lot of effort into this, especially at the moment, it was already difficult to find a traditional newspaper office, but the team went to the major newspapers to collect news, and still found a lot of details. Almost every table, even if the audience could not see the whole picture, there was a story behind it and the reporter.


Almost every detail of "More Than Endless", Wang Jing tries to bring the audience back to 2003 as much as possible.



In addition to art and styling, he incorporated a lot of rock music into the soundtrack. It was all his memories in 2003. At that time, there was a term in Beijing called "new sound of music". Suddenly, a new rock band would appear, everyone would like it, and there might be a new band the next day.


"Every day brings new surprises and possibilities, which was a very beautiful side of that era." And the Joyside song "If There Is A Tomorrow" was once again translated into Chinese, and "If Tomorrow Comes" became the theme song of the movie.



03.


The song by the band Joyside was placed at the end of the credits, becoming a kind of "burner" of emotions, which seemed to give the audience and characters a chance to release it on the same frequency.


But as Wang Jing said, there is no right or wrong in the movie, I just want to make the story clear.


The two seem to be contradictory, just like in the movie, Han Dong found Huang Jiang (played by Zhang Songwen) because of his friend Zhang Bo (played), hoping to withdraw the manuscript. The other party was furious and said, "As a reporter, you must not let sympathy lead you by the nose. Compassion will only affect your judgment."



Looking back at the ending, this sentence seems to have become a false proposition, but from the perspective of the original intention and expression of the film, it seems to have become a key.


Wang Jing boasts of being a rational person. "From my perspective, I think that before a person has the ability to think rationally, he should first have the most basic emotional ability, which is called empathy."



When Wang Jing designed the character Han Dong, he did not pursue the growth aura of the character too much, and used the regular highlight moment to perfect his character arc, "He is a flat arc character, from the beginning to the end, he believes in one thing."


It’s just that in the process, "we try to get him to doubt, and then we get rid of the self-doubt."



Therefore, Han Dong and Huang Jiang had two completely different attitudes towards the handling of the "hepatitis B examination" matter, but they were not right or wrong, but at the point of conflict and confrontation, Huang Jiang may have sympathy for these people, but reason will make him deny this sympathy. "This may be a kind of inertia in the face of such things because he has been in the industry for so long."


In a scene in the movie, a senior reporter from the newspaper said to Han Dong, "In fact, many reporters have been working for a long time, and they have purely regarded journalists as a profession, not an ideal. I hope you are not." 



And when the movie ends, Han Dong will return to the newspaper office. Will his journalistic ideals continue to support him, or will they change? Will Huangjiang be affected after this incident?


"No one will become another person. I also believe that if the story continues to develop, Han Dong will become a better Han Dong in the future, and Huangjiang will also become a better Huangjiang."


This is also another topic that Wang Jing wants to talk about in "More than Endless", idealism.


04.


In order to make this movie, Wang Jing did a lot of research.


He called hepatitis B carriers "comrades-in-arms," and after several interviews, he found that he had simplified the issue. Although the topic was brought up frequently in those days, and later policies and regulations were put in place to support them and give them back strength, as if they had more confidence, but the reality was not. On the contrary, "when they faced a status quo that seemed difficult to change, they chose not to resist."

Just like in the movie, when Han Dong returned to the water station and hoped to use his own strength to justify their names, the other party said, "It has nothing to do with you."


The voice is powerful, but the emotion is powerless.


The concentration of this emotion moved Wang Jing fiercely, "I hope it can be fully presented in the movie." The movie was almost shot smoothly, only the content of the final interview with the hepatitis B patient was reserved for the last shooting by Wang Jing.


It’s just that at the end of the movie, emotions gush out and there is a result, but Wang Jing doesn’t give a real answer, "" More than Endless "has no answer, I think if a movie wants to give an answer, it will fail completely."



Nowadays, the movie is officially released, and some people like it, with a score of 7.4 on Douban; others dislike it and feel that it is very different from such news-themed movies.


However, for Wang Jing, compared to the premiere at the Venice International Film Festival three years ago, he was so nervous that the smartwatch frequently reminded him that his heart rate was too fast. This time, it was more of an excitement.


Because many viewers have been paying attention to this movie for a long time, they finally have the opportunity to see the real face on the big screen, and they go to Wang Jing’s Weibo to leave a message, going to "trial".


"I think this word is very meaningful. Everyone will watch a movie with their own subjective judgment, but a movie is a movie. Whether the audience likes it or not, everyone criticizes or expresses their own feelings, which is a very happy thing for the film creator."


56-Year-old Wang Zuxian’s recent photo exposure has become like this? In Vancouver, he choked up several times in public and exposed his amazing little secret…

"Forever Xiaoqian" Although Wang Zuxian has been out of the movie for 19 years and has long settled in Vancouver to live the days of idle clouds and wild cranes, his every move still attracts attention.

After all Port Circle Muse in Glory Period, that year’s " The most beautiful woman in Asia"Even if he has been out of the entertainment industry for many years, Wang Zuxian’s popularity has not diminished at all.

Recently, some netizens posted a video of Wang Zuxian appearing at a Vancouver temple with white flowers in hand.

In the video, she still has long hair fluttering, wearing a white top with a lotus root pink dress. Wang Zuxian, who has not applied Fendai, is dressed elegantly and has a pure and refined temperament like a girl.

In the spring, Vancouver is lush and green, and the leaves are glowing with new green. Wang Zuxian walked towards the Buddha statue in the temple with the white flowers in full bloom in his hands, and reverently offered the flowers in front of the Buddha.

After that, she opened the scriptures again and recited them in front of the Buddha statue, looking safe. Although the first generation of Muse has been relegated to the rolling red dust, they have actually lived a peaceful life without being disturbed by the world

Exotic, Zen temple. The female star who was once popular all over Asia and was so beautiful that she put down the Vanity Fair of the entertainment industry, and also put down the love that was once sensational, unforgettable, and obsessed with nearly 20 years.

At this moment, the sun is shining brightly, the breeze is blowing, and enjoying the time with the Buddha, flowers, and scriptures should be beautiful.

Many netizens said that after watching this video, they seemed to have been infected. Looking at Wang Zuxian’s figure walking safely between the temples, his impulsive mood seemed to gradually calm down.

Perhaps, in that calm figure, there is still a power to cleanse the soul.

In 2004, Wang Zuxian announced his retirement after filming the movie "Beautiful Shanghai" and turned around to return home.

For nearly 20 years, she has lived a comfortable fairy life in seclusion in Vancouver. And those The lively fragrance that was once related to her has also become a memory of an era that is out of print for many people

In recent times, her every appearance seemed to be related to temples, puja meetings, and other elements.

Although he only wore simple Buddhist clothes to worship Buddha, he was still incredibly beautiful.

Some netizens praised her for her calm and tranquil face, and her temperament was as otherworldly as hibiscus. Even if she stood with the students around her, she had no sense of age incompatibility.

In May last year, some netizens posted a screenshot of Wang Zuxian’s video in Dawen Lingyan Mountain Temple. Among all living beings, she is still the one with a detached temperament and a full sense of girlhood.

During the Spring Festival this year, Wang Zuxian also attended a Chinese gathering in Greater Vancouver. When speaking on stage, he choked up several times.

Wang Zuxian was supposed to be attending a Buddhist-related event that day. In the photo, she was wearing a brown sweater + black coat with beige loose trousers and flats. Her simple dress was very low-key, and she was dressed like a passer-by around her.

However, Muse is Muse after all, and Wang Zuxian still looks very temperamental even without Fendai.

That day, her thick long hair was scattered at the back of her head, and the N95 mask was worn tightly, but even if it was a high-paste photo, she could still see that her eyebrows were delicate and her fairy energy was fluttering.

However, Wang Zuxian’s speech that day was really surprising. It could be said that he "exposed" a little secret that no one knew.

And she said, " In fact, I have been in the entertainment industry for a long time, but my space is very small".

Wang Zuxian choked up several times when she spoke on stage. She said, There was a time when my circle in Vancouver was very narrow and I had no friends, so I almost gave up on myselfFortunately, I persevered, and I am very grateful and fortunate to have met these current partners.

In 2019, Wang Zuxian converted to Buddhism under the Dharma name "Xingjue layman" and led his practice.

As early as 2016, when asked about her feelings, she said: " Everything is blank, my feelings are gone before my death, and they will be blank in the future"…"

"It’s over before I die!" All the love and hate that used to be buried in the ground, it seems like a lifetimeFor Wang Zuxian himself, maybe those past events have really been let go

After quitting the entertainment industry full of temptation and desire, Wang Zuxian gave up his identity as a first-line female star. During his more than ten years in Vancouver, he seemed to have really begun to live for himself.

Once a superstar, she is no longer attached to her beauty, and she can actually release her high definition photos without filters and beauty with confidence.

This Spring Festival, Wang Zuxian sent a recent photo to everyone to pay New Year’s greetings.In the photo, she is sitting leisurely on her sofa, with long hair hanging down her shoulders and a headband, revealing her entire face without hesitation.

Not only that, Wang Zuxian’s clothes are also very homely.She was dressed in a dark knitted sweater and had no makeup at all.The true appearance caused many netizens to exclaim.

As usual, public opinion was a bit harsh on Muse.

Many netizens said that they were stunned at first glance at the photo. Is this still Wang Zuxian? It’s like a different person. "I can’t see it’s Wang Zuxian at all", "I can’t recognize it"!

But you know, Wang Zuxian is already 56 years old. Who will not grow old? But how many people have had the peerless style like her when they were young?

Today’s Wang Zuxian seems to have completely ignored fashion. She said that life is for herself, how to feel comfortable, " I’m not a saint.Everyone gets old, just enjoy life"…"

And when he helped his friend Li Ruotong promote the new book, he also emphasized again: "Life is never defined by others, we all have to live well."

Indeed, Wang Zuxian under the screen has his own life. No matter what, we all wish Muse’s life better and better.

"Kung Fu Yoga" 872 million, "572 million" Havoc in Tianzhu "," Riding the Wind and Waves "412 million, ranked second to fourth in this year’s Spring Festival box office rankings.


1905Movie Network News 2017The Chinese Lunar Year of the Rooster has ushered in a good start for the mainland film market. According to preliminary statistics, from1month27New Year’s Eve2month2On the sixth day of the new year, the shadow market is swallowed in 7 days33.36100 million yuan, more than last year’s Spring Festival30.8The box office increased by 8.3 billion.%33The figure of 100 million has once again broken the Spring Festival record, and there is no doubt that the Lunar Year of the Rooster has become the strongest Spring Festival record in history.

 

"Westward Journey to Fighting Demons",,, and five new films that opened on the first day of the new year have achieved quite bright results. They have respectively harvested 1.153 billion, 872 million, 572 million, 412 million and 297 million box office, leading the Spring Festival file. It is worth mentioning that since the fourth day of the new year, Jackie Chan’s "Kung Fu Yoga" has pulled down the biggest hit "Westward Journey to Fighting Demons" produced by Stephen Chow and directed by Tsui Hark, and has become the single-day box office champion for three consecutive days.

 

In addition, the cumulative box office of cartoons that opened on February 1 reached 10.02 million. Those that opened on January 27 performed poorly, and only received 13.52 million yuan in box office after 7 days of release.

 

"Journey to the West" broke the record of the first day of gold 1.10 billion, but the explosion was counterattacked by "Kung Fu Yoga"

 

Following last year, Zhou Xingchi, Guo Zijian directed, Zhou Xingchi supervised the film "Westward Journey to Fighting Demons" this Spring Festival and came out on top, the first day of the new year to attract money 353 million (including zero single-day box office for 365 million), broke the dust for two years, by April 2015 set a box office record of 345 million yuan (the film contains zero single-day box office for 398 million), sitting on the throne of the first-day box office champion in our country’s film history. At the same time, "Westward Journey to Fighting Demons" also defeated "Mermaid" and became our country’s fastest breaking 200 million and fastest breaking 300 million movie. Ultimately, the film was swallowed 1.153 billion yuan at the box office during the Spring Festival.

 

"Journey to the West" no suspense to lead the Spring Festival file, but surprisingly, the film box office has been declining, from the first to the sixth day of the new year, "Journey to the West" were reported 353 million, 215 million, 179 million, 145 million, 130 million and 116 million. The previously less optimistic action comedy film "Kung Fu Yoga" has been making great progress, in the Spring Festival holiday respectively 137 million, 126 million, 141 million, 148 million, 160 million and 153 million, the box office not only rose steadily, but also from January 31st on the fourth day of the new year, for three consecutive days to surpass "Journey to the West", the sudden counterattack became the single-day box office champion, leading the second half of the Spring Festival file.

 

In the end, "Kung Fu Yoga" reached 872 million yuan in the six days of the Spring Festival, 280 million behind "Journey to the West" and ranked second in the Spring Festival box office. However, on the first day of work after the Spring Festival on February 3, "Kung Fu Yoga" still received 25% of the pre-arranged films, and "Journey to the West" won the first place in the row. The follow-up box office of "Kung Fu Yoga" also continued to rise.

 

Four films kept pace and led the Spring Festival file "Havoc in Tianzhu" fell all the way, and the reputation of "Riding the Wind and Waves" rose

 

In addition to "Journey to the West to Fighting Demons", Wang Baoqiang’s directorial debut "Havoc in Tianzhu" can be said to be the most concerned film during the Spring Festival, but after the film was released, word-of-mouth hit the street, resulting in a high box office opening and low box office. 187 million, 114 million, 88.843 million, 67.723 million, 58.214 million, 49.773 million yuan, the box office trend of "Havoc in Tianzhu" from January 28 to February 2 is obviously insufficient stamina. From the second day of the new year, "Havoc in Tianzhu" was surpassed by "Kung Fu Yoga", and on the fourth day of the new year, it was pressed by Han Han’s second big screen work "Riding the Wind and Waves". From the third to the sixth day of the new year, the single-day box office was less than 100 million yuan, and the film also fell from the runner-up in the single-day

 

The most controversial film in the Spring Festival is "Riding the Wind and Breaking the Waves". This time, Han Han once again challenged the big screen, but he did not expect to bear the charges of "straight male cancer", "giant baby" and other values. The film was also boycotted by Xu Jiao and other star companies on Weibo. At the beginning of its release, the film did not perform well. It only received 67.66 million yuan at the box office on the day of its opening, which is far from "Journey to the West", "Havoc in Tianzhu", and "Kung Fu Yoga". However, with the word-of-mouth fermentation of "Riding the Wind and Breaking the Waves", the film has also been affirmed by the audience. Since the third day of the new year, the box office has been growing all the way, and "Riding the Wind and Breaking the Waves" has also harvested 412 million yuan at the box office in

 

Last year’s Spring Festival file, "Mermaid" was a big one, followed by, forming a triangular pattern. This year’s Spring Festival file did not have an absolute explosion, but formed a situation where the four films of "Journey to the West", "Kung Fu Yoga", "Havoc in Tianzhu" and "Riding the Wind and Waves" were neck and neck. The four films also joined forces to cut off 3.006 billion box office in the Spring Festival file, accounting for 90% of the total box office of this year’s Spring Festival file.

 

In addition, also on the first day of the new year, the cartoon "Bear Haunted · Fantasy Space" has accumulated box office 297 million during the Spring Festival. In order to avoid blockbusters, the "released one day in advance" has only received 13.53 million yuan at the box office as of February 2, and the results are quite dismal. The animated film "", which opened on February 1, received 10.02 million in two days.

 

The Spring Festival file has grown for ten consecutive years, and the Year of the Rooster has set a new record. On the first day of the new year in 2017, the box office broke the 800 million mark

As soon as the Lunar Year of the Rooster opened in 2017, the Chinese film market ushered in a good start. On January 28, the first day of the new year created a new record for the single-day box office in our country’s film history. On the same day, the market reported 803 million, which was 160 million yuan higher than the single-day box office of 646 million yuan on the first day of the new year last year, an increase of 24%. The New Year’s Spring Festival has always been a lucky day for our country’s box office, and has been growing rapidly for more than 5 years. In 2012, our country’s single-day box office during the Spring Festival was only 61 million. On the first day of the new year in 2013, the single-day box office during the Spring Festival broke through the billion yuan mark for the first time. In just 5 years, to the 2017 Lunar Year of the Rooster, the single-day box office during the

 

In addition to the super high box office on the first day of the new year, the box office trend from the second to the sixth day of the new year is also relatively stable, maintaining a single day at around 500 million yuan, which will also bring the total box office of the Spring Festival file this year (January 27-February 2) to a high point of 3.33 billion yuan, an increase of 8.3% over last year. In 2008, our country’s total box office of the Spring Festival file broke through 100 million for the first time. At that time, there were only 115 million, which was not enough for the single-day box office of "Journey to the West". In 2014, our country’s Spring Festival file broke out, soaring 81%. The box office of the Spring Festival file also broke through the 1 billion yuan mark for the first time, reaching a historic 1.466 billion. Two years later, the box office of the Spring Festival file has jumped from 1.82 billion to 3.08 billion last year.

 

Up to now, our country’s Spring Festival box office has increased for ten consecutive years. During this decade, the total box office of the Spring Festival file has increased by 28 times, which is quite impressive. This year, the Spring Festival file has reached a new level, and the box office has exceeded 3.33 billion in 7 days. There is no doubt that 2017 has also become the strongest Spring Festival file in our country’s film history.

The delivery rider died unexpectedly while delivering takeout, and relatives donated their organs to save 4 people

  His name is Lu Jichun, a 51-year-old food delivery rider from Hangzhou, Hunan Province. He has no father, mother, wife and children, and only delivers food in Hangzhou with three nephews. Late last month, he had an accident while delivering food, which caused brain death.

  At the last moment, relatives made a difficult decision to donate all his "life-saving organs" – heart, liver, and kidneys. His life began to continue in the four strangers.

  The operating room suddenly quieted down, leaving only the dripping sound of the vital signs monitor. The shadowless lamp illuminated the 51-year-old Lu Jichun’s face, which was dark, rough, and had obvious color differences on his body, which were traces of sunlight and wind and frost. He lay quietly, as if he was rushing to finish a day of takeout and needed a long rest.

  This is the final story of his life, and we have recorded them one by one.

  Last Goodbye

  Healthcare workers stood in two lines, bowing their heads in silence.

  "Time of death, [August 7] 8:56," Hu Yinghong, director of the Department of Brain Critical Care Medicine of the Second Zhejiang Medical Hospital, announced.

  The fresh and warm hope will replace Lu Jichun in a race against time. The cornea is moved into the eye bank, and then, in a few hours, his organs flow to four patients in the next operating rooms –

  A 61-year-old uremic patient was found to have elevated creatinine for 6 years and hemodialysis for 2 years.

  A patient with renal insufficiency who started dialysis in November last year was only 32 years old.

  A 52-year-old aunt, hepatitis B cirrhosis for more than ten years, ascites, lower limb edema made her miserable;

  A 61-year-old aunt, whose family had planned to give up a heart transplant, finally decided to take a gamble at 9 p.m. on the 6th. "Otherwise, my mother would only have a few months to live," her daughter said in tears.

  Before being pushed into the operating room, on the morning of the 7th, less than 8 o’clock, more than 20 relatives came to bid farewell to Lu Jichun. There were only a few minutes left to meet. Some people leaned against Lu Jichun’s bed and sobbed; some people called Lao Lu’s name softly, as if exhorting or confiding. A few juniors gathered outside the ward to comfort the elderly.

  On the afternoon of the 7th, Lu Jichun’s body was cremated at the Hangzhou Funeral Home. At midnight yesterday, the spirit car carried his ashes and rushed to his hometown, Pingcha Town, Hunan, thousands of miles away.

  The Gift of Life

  On the evening of July 23, during the evening rush hour, Lu Jichun, who was driving westward on an electric bicycle and rushing to deliver flowers and egg buns, suddenly fell alone on the east motorway at the intersection of Wenyi West Road and Gudun Road, causing severe craniocerebral injury.

  In addition to three nephews and nieces who delivered food in Hangzhou like Lu Jichun, more than 20 relatives came from their hometown in Hunan and other places. The Lu family consulted brain surgeons in several hospitals, and the final results were disappointing. They visited Lu Jichun every day, talked to him, touched him, "Why did this happen to you?" Tears fell on his arm.

  From the doctor’s mouth, the family members were persuaded to donate organs. This term, which had been heard before, suddenly came like the bad news of Lu Jichun’s death.

  Generally speaking, brain-dead patients have higher organ quality than heart-dead patients. This is a gift of life, said Ling Hui, the organ donation coordinator of the International Committee of the Red Cross in Zhejiang Province and the organ tissue acquisition office of the Second Zhejiang Medical Hospital. Subconsciously, the sisters’ hearts skipped a beat. They didn’t want Lu Jichun to suffer more on his last journey.

  In 2018, China’s organ donation rate of one million people reached 6.8%. This figure is already 226 times higher than in 2010, but it is still in short supply due to technical barriers, traditional concepts, and talent gaps. In the popular sense, people think that donation means lofty; but to some extent, lofty is also a "NIMBY effect": people will praise and respect in their mouth, but make a dash in their heart – it is best for others to complete this lofty. In Ling Hui’s past experience, failure and cold eyes are the norm.

  Relatives’ decision

  Lu Jichun’s life was re-examined on the scales. At the age of 51, he had experienced the loss of his father and mother, and he had not even been able to have a marriage and was alone. Because of the short age and long loneliness, it made people feel even more unwilling and worthless at this moment.

  How does an ordinary person prove that he has lived in the world? Very few people will write books and praise ordinary people. What ordinary people leave behind in the end may be a tombstone, a child, and some photos. Obviously, their names will eventually be erased, and it is very difficult to fight against oblivion.

  Organ and tissue donation, for now, looks like the best continuation, "as if his eyes are still blinking and his heart is still beating," said Lu Suzhen, the fourth sister, even if she doesn’t know who it is or where she lives.

  Behind the recipient was a family. The family thought that, to some extent, those families were like Lu Jichun’s "family". Those healthy bodies would replace him and give him the warmth he had never had before.

  As expected, his niece Chen Xiaodi, who was closest to him, cried the most. Someone said at the top of his voice, "Uncle is dead, can’t you let him be selfish?!"

  "If he was still sober and knew that his organs could save people, he would have made the same decision," Ms. Lu said, as a family with the same feelings but the opposite ideas reached a hard-won consensus on organ donation.

  Chen Xiaodi finally said with a hard heart, you decide, I neither support nor oppose it.

  Ling Hui explained the process, she hid in the next room and couldn’t come out. Vaguely heard inside, Lu Suzhen asked in a trembling voice, "After you take the organs, can you sew them better?" Ling Hui quickly said, "No problem, we will return him to you cleanly."

  Hu Yinghong said that after a patient’s brain death, if the heart, kidneys, liver, cornea and other organs and tissues are well maintained, the patient and his family can donate organs for transplantation if they are completely voluntary. When the life cycle switches, when healthcare workers bow in silence in front of Lu Jichun’s body, next door, the red light is on "during the operation", the recipient enters the state of anesthesia, and everything is ready.

  Just as Lu Jichun ran hard for a takeout to be delivered on time, doctors are also people who race against time. There is no obvious watershed between the height of life and the intensity of life.

  Just like a river hugging another river, one life died, but soon flowed to four other lives. They will replace Lu Jichun and live well.

  The last takeaway order that was not delivered

  Another ordinary, non-stop weekday evening peak. On July 23rd, the solar term was hot, and in the evening, the road surface vented the last power of the high temperature, and the sunset and street lamps gradually released brilliance. The takeaway order showed that at 17:33, Lu Jichun clicked on the meal and set off from Luojiazhuang. He was holding a bouquet of flowers for 78 yuan, with bright red roses and snow-white lilies; another egg-packed rice for 40.8 yuan was golden and hot.

  Four minutes later, Lu Jichun, who was riding an electric bicycle to the west, suddenly fell alone in the east motorway at the intersection of Wenyi West Road and Gudun Road, causing severe craniocerebral injury.

  He failed to deliver the last takeaway order.

  This was originally a rushed and ordinary day for him.

  On July 23rd, in a rented house in Chengzhong Village, west of the city, around 2 am, in the dim, Sun Chen, who was sleeping on the bottom bunk, heard that his uncle was back. Next, the water boiled; the tin foil of the packaging bags and material bags was torn open; the tempting smell of essence and taste nucleotide disodium rose in the air, and Lu Jichun sucked instant noodles.

  "How was the order today?" Sun Chen asked. Uncle reported a figure of nearly 40. This is not surprising. 38 orders a day – 40 orders, which is the target set by Lu Jichun for himself.

  Different riders had different levels, from bronze to king, and the level in the game determined the real income of the riders. The level was updated every week, and the only way to improve was to keep receiving orders, plus 1 point for each order, while the knight of the king needed to complete nearly 400 orders within a week. In sharp contrast to the only bonus points, there were various points reduction rules: 3 points for overtime delivery, 5 points for bad reviews, 10 points for cancellation of delivery…

  Lu Jichun usually left the house at 10 a.m. and stayed busy until one or two in the morning. He had also delivered breakfast, but his body was quickly overwhelmed. During a break before the evening rush hour, he would find time to go home and stir-fry a dish, usually chili fried meat, dig up a large spoonful of hot sauce, and spread out some for the early morning "dinner", and then replace the car with a new battery.

  The food delivery industry seems to embrace everyone. It doesn’t ask about academic qualifications, gender, just a battery car, a health certificate. It also seems to be a passport to the city. It also means more freedom and income than industrial assembly lines.

  Lu Jichun’s niece, Chen Xiaodi, first came to Hangzhou to study sewing. At the peak of the afternoon, she also ran takeout to earn extra money. At the beginning of the year, Sun Chen, who was running takeout in Fujian, came to Hangzhou and rented with his uncle. Together with his nephew Chen Yang in Hangzhou, a "takeaway family" of four people was formed.

  According to platform data, 85% of riders in Hangzhou are from rural areas; 7% of riders are women, many of whom are the backbone of a family.

  The average age of this group is 29 years old. (Reporter, Huang Xiaoxing, Yu Renfei, Correspondent, Fang Xuwen/Photo)

Ma Yun’s response to "Tencent has no dream" is false, so does Tencent have a dream?

"Tencent is losing its product capabilities and entrepreneurial spirit, and becoming an investment company…" These days, an article signed "Pan Chaos" and titled "Tencent has no dreams" has been very popular on the Internet. The article said that "this nearly 20-year-old company (referring to Tencent) is becoming utilitarian and short-sighted, and his strength is no longer product business, but investment in financial technology"; and analyzed some of Tencent’s less successful products and more successful investment cases in recent years, and came to the conclusion that "Tencent has no dreams".

?

The criticism was directed at Tencent, one of China’s leading Internet companies, so after the article was published, it quickly spread across the Internet and the venture capital community. The story that followed was even more twists and turns: first there was a response from Tencent President Martin Lau, and then there was a response from Tencent CEO Pony Ma: "Look, it’s good to have criticism…" But when everyone was discussing whether Pony Ma’s response could explain the problem, Zhang Jun, Tencent’s public relations director, clarified that "Pony Ma’s response" was fake and was the result of PS (photo processing).

?

Zhang Jun clarified in Moments that Ma Ma’s response was PS

?

This clarification did not reduce the popularity of "Tencent has no dreams", because ordinary users who use WeChat and QQ to play "Honor of Kings" and "Jump" are still interested in exploring the answer to the question "Does Tencent have a dream". So, does Tencent have a dream?

?

The industry applauds the open attitude

?

Judging from the evaluation information of Tencent insiders, although they do not agree with the whole of "Tencent No Dream", they generally adopt an inclusive attitude. For example, the discussion between Lau Chiping and Zhang Jun on WeChat Moments shows that Lau Chiping believes that "Tencent is a bigger organization and ecosystem than the author imagined… [The article] simplifies Tencent into a product gain and loss, a strategic deployment, and a person’s will. It is too narrow… The title and conclusion are distorted because they are trying to catch the eye." But he also made it clear: "But there are still some unique insights that can be used as reference and supervision." Zhang Jun said: "We listen to the voices of the outside world, absorb them, and transform them into stronger action forces."

Zhang Jun’s attitude towards "Tencent has no dreams"

Industry observers also feel that "Tencent No Dreams", although flawed and the conclusion may be questionable, is a "work of conscience". Ma Qiji, former senior vice-president of Nielsen Internet Research and a research fellow at Peking University’s New Media Marketing and Communication Center, commented: "This is a good article [referring to’Tencent No Dreams’]. Although the argument method and logic are slightly flawed, it is still done with all its heart. It is essentially a commentary on Tencent’s strategic goals, path selection and organizational system, not’dream theory ‘." It’s just that he feels that "unless there is a very deep understanding, research, analysis and research on this kind of topic, it is difficult to have a real understanding and judgment of Tencent’s real behavioral starting point and consideration, let alone an effective and incisive discussion."

?

Many Internet practitioners believe that "Tencent has no dreams" is heating up online, but Tencent’s various dissemination channels, including WeChat, QQ, etc., have not "blocked" this article, at least indicating that Tencent is a company willing to listen to different voices, and should be praised for this attitude.

?

"The problem with many internet companies is that they are not open enough. Whether they are start-ups or industry leaders, they always think that they are standing on the high ground of innovation and are held in the palm of the hands of the crowd, so they cannot listen to criticism. Once someone criticizes, in addition to directly refuting or trying to’block ‘, sometimes they will use’water army’ to whitewash themselves. This approach should be praised for Tencent’s tolerant attitude. This also reminds other internet companies that they should have the heart to listen to different voices, and if there is no change, they should be encouraged, so as to make progress." Internet observer Tang Zhao said.

?

From corporate dreams to connectivity tools

?

As of press time, Tencent officials, including Pony Ma, have not made any further comments on "Tencent has no dream". However, the industry believes that from the recent layout of Tencent, it has actually responded with actions: launching "explosive" products or services is no longer its focus, and using Tencent’s existing resources and capabilities to connect all walks of life and achieve upgrades in all walks of life may be one of Tencent’s "dreams".

?

At the recent Digital China Construction Summit, Pony Ma summarized what Tencent is and will be doing in four numbers in his speech: "One goal" is to be a good assistant. "We hope to do something and not do something – not to enter all walks of life and replace it; but to become a’digital assistant ‘in all walks of life." Three things "means that Tencent will focus on connecting, making tools and doing ecology." Five areas "refers to the scope of Tencent’s efforts, including people’s livelihood and government affairs, living consumption, production services, life and health, and ecological protection. Finally, there are the "seven tools" that Tencent provides to all walks of life: WeChat official account, WeChat Mini Program, mobile payment, social advertising, WeCom, big data cloud computing artificial intelligence, and Tencent’s security capabilities.

?

Ma Qiji believes that even a big company like Tencent does not need to talk about "dreams": "Not every company has or needs a dream. The’Tencent dream ‘is a good but unrealistic wish, and it has been crooked from the beginning, so the discussion [of’Tencent has no dream’] has become trivial." He personally believes that "Tencent is a good leader by connecting and empowering, building the belief and imagination of the future, and establishing resource allocation and public input." He also added: "I personally like Tencent’s recent formulation of’technology for good ‘, so my dream is: Tencent can help everyone strive to get close to it (technology for good)!"

?

How many people can the "connection tool" realize their dreams?

?

In fact, the reason why there is the question or discussion of "Tencent has a dream" is not unrelated to the development of Tencent in recent years. From the perspective of specific products, since the launch of "popular" WeChat, Tencent is not without innovation, but many products that are popular in the market are closely linked to WeChat, including WeChat red envelopes, WeChat Pay, WeChat official account, WeChat Mini Program, but the outside world regards them all as "WeChat", rather than new achievements. At the same time, Tencent’s investment has been "fruitful", and the listing of invested companies such as ZhongAn Insurance, Sogou, China Literature, and Yixin Group has brought tens of billions of dollars to Tencent.

?

In comparison, Tencent’s achievements as a tool to connect other industries seem less obvious; or even if the connection is successful and produces results, many people do not know that they are related to Tencent. However, a little review of some of Tencent’s recent "connection" achievements reveals a lot of surprises.

?

For example, Tencent recently entered into a strategic partnership with the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) to launch digital conservation efforts. In Shenzhen Bay, after a user’s mobile phone QQ scans the sculpture in front of them, several white dolphins will jump up from the "water" and swim around. It turns out that this is a "digital landmark" project explored by the two sides. In the future, when people walk, bike or sightseeing along the coast of Shenzhen Bay, they can pass by more similar magical sculptures or devices. Open the mobile phone QQ to "scan", and dolphins will play to their heart’s content, or birds will circle and pitch on the screen. More importantly, people can also learn about these beautiful creatures: "There are only about 2,000 Chinese white dolphins left in China, living in the Pearl River estuary; the black-faced spoonbill is a bird in Shenzhen, and the population is extremely rare; they are all state-level protected animals and the aborigines of Shenzhen Bay…" WWF related people believe that such "digital landmarks" not only belong to Shenzhen, but also belong to the world. Through the exploration with Tencent, more cities and regions can have their own "digital landmarks", allowing people to feel the wonder and beauty of nature more strongly, and arousing the public’s awareness of protecting the ocean and caring for endangered animals. This case may make many nature conservationists "dream come true".

?

There is also the "digital classroom" created by WWF and Tencent, which may fulfill the dream of many ecological rangers. It turns out that there are more than 370,000 ecological rangers in China, who are the most basic guardians and main force of national parks, cruising day after day to eliminate fire pests and stop poaching. However, due to the dispersion of personnel and the lack of training teachers, how to better train these rangers has become a problem. The "digital classroom" will introduce WWF’s rich and high-quality content to provide online training courses for ecological rangers and other practitioners, including relevant laws and regulations, wildlife identification, wild survival knowledge, etc., so that they have more professional knowledge and skills, and have more safety when walking in the forest.

?

In fact, after the spread of "Tencent No Dream" exceeded 1 million, Pan Chaos also sent a paragraph in his circle of friends: "Tencent has no dream, Tencent has achieved the dream of many people…" A Tencent grassroots employee sent reporters his thoughts after watching "Tencent No Dream": "Tencent will never be perfect, but fortunately it has been evolving – because there are many young people chasing dreams here, and it is also becoming the dream of young people."

Perhaps it is more practical for more people to realize their dreams with the help of technology than whether a company has a dream.
