Leicester city VS Leeds United

Leicester City defeated the Rangers away from home, and the league won 9 consecutive victories. The team’s recent performance is still hot, and it currently ranks first in the league with 39 points. Leicester city’s offensive end is active, and the stability of defense line is extremely strong. Leeds United beat Hadders at home in the last league. Although the team has experienced some ups and downs recently, it still wins more and loses less overall. At present, it ranks third in the league with 25 points. Leeds United’s offensive output is equally strong, but the defense strength is really insufficient in the near future.

Leicester city’s recent performance is still strong, and the team is currently at the top of the league. At the same time, the team’s home performance is also very strong. Leeds United is still winning more and losing less in the near future, but its overall stability is still insufficient compared with its opponents, especially the team’s recent defensive line is unstable. This time, leicester city is sitting at a strong home, and I believe there is still a chance to win the opponent’s winning streak.

Las palmas VS Atletico Madrid

Las palmas defeated Alme, the underdog in the last league, and the team has won many victories in the underdog recently. At present, it is chasing the 10th place in the league with 14 points. Las palmas’s offensive output has been strengthened, but the stability of the defense line is still insufficient. Atletico Madrid defeated Alaves at home in the last league, and the league won six consecutive victories. The overall state and stability continued to rise, and it is currently ranked third in the league with 25 points. Atletico Madrid’s offensive output has been continuously improved, and its defensive performance is acceptable, but the situation of zero sealing has been reduced.

Las palmas’s recent achievements have indeed warmed up, but the opponents are mostly weak teams in the league, and the gold content is really not high. The team’s performance at both ends of attack and defense is still obviously insufficient in the face of strong teams. Atletico Madrid’s recent performance is still strong, and the front line output is still very stable, but the defensive strength needs to be improved. This time, Atletico Madrid is a guest to challenge the opponent. I believe it is still a cinch to take away three points.

Paris saint-germain VS Montpellier

Paris Saint-Germain beat brest away from home in the last league, and the league won three consecutive victories and five unbeaten rounds. The team’s recent performance has been getting stronger and stronger, and the difference between the team and Nice at the top has narrowed to one point. The offensive output of Paris Saint-Germain has been strengthened again, but the defensive strength needs to be strengthened. Montpellier beat Toulouse at home in the last league. Although the team lost away from home before, its overall performance is still strong in the near future. At present, the team ranks sixth in the league with 15 points. Montpellier’s offensive output is still significantly strengthened, but the defensive end is also not stable enough.

The overall strength of Paris Saint-Germain is very secure, and the team’s recent achievements and performance are also worthy of recognition. In addition, the team has also found the home court advantage. The overall performance of Montpellier has also improved recently, winning several victories, but it is still difficult to compete with Paris in terms of strength. Montpellier’s visit to challenge Paris this time, I believe it is still a situation of losing less and winning.

Porto VS Lille, esto

Porto defeated Visala away from home in the last league, and won two consecutive victories in the league. Although the team suffered defeat in the face of traditional powerful teams, it still had no pressure in the face of other opponents. At present, the team ranks third in the league with 22 points. Porto’s offensive output is very secure, and the stability of the defense line has also improved. Lille, esto, lost to Polti in the last league, and the league suffered another three-game losing streak and seven rounds. At present, it only ranks at the bottom with four points. Esto Lille’s offensive performance is also relatively active, but the defense loopholes are also huge.

Porto’s overall strength is very secure, and the team is still able to face other opponents in the league, and the performance at home is also very safe. Rival esto Lille’s recent performance is still sluggish, although the offensive output is still guaranteed, but the defense loopholes are too large. This time, Porto sat at home to meet the challenge of the vice squad leader. I believe the team still has the ability to beat the opponent and win three points.

Bologna VS lazio

Bologna drew with Sassuolo in the last league. Although the team’s winning ability is not strong, it can still guarantee the unbeaten game in nine rounds, and the overall stability is acceptable. At present, the team ranks eighth in the league with 15 points. Bologna’s offensive output has strengthened, but the stability of the defense line has declined. Lazio beat Florence at home in the last league, and the league won three consecutive victories. The team has been in a strong state in the near future, and it can also win battles in a row. At present, it ranks seventh in the league with 16 points. Lazio’s offensive efficiency has improved, and the stability of the defense line has improved.

Bologna’s overall performance is quite stable. It has previously drawn against strong teams such as Juventus, Inter Milan and Naples, and it has a strong ability to score points in the main battle. Lazio, the opponent, has been strengthening in recent days, and it is also in a winning streak. Although the team’s performance in the away game is not good, most of its opponents are league teams, and they also have the ability to score points away from home. This time, the two teams collided, and Bologna, who performed very steadily, still had a chance to defend the unbeaten home, and the possibility of a draw between the two sides was not small.

　　The severity and complexity of the COVID-19 epidemic far exceeded people’s expectations. Today, the host or intermediate host in novel coronavirus is considered to be related to wild animals such as bats or pangolins. Throughout the world’s major epidemics in human history, almost every time is related to wild animals, which further forces us to reflect: how do humans and wild animals coexist and coexist?

　　On November 16, 2019, at the Daqinghe Bird Rescue Station of Laoting County Wildlife Conservation Association in Hebei Province, the staff released an ordinary horseshoe crab. Xinhua news agency

　　Wild hosts of deadly viruses or bacteria.

　　The struggle between human beings and viruses or pathogenic bacteria has never stopped.

　　Plague is caused by a microorganism named Yersinia pestis. Besides mice, there are other common rodents and wild carnivores as the host animals. Besides these animals, there are fleas parasitic on them. The first recorded plague pandemic in human history occurred in the 6th century A.D., originated in the Middle East, and spread to North Africa and Europe through Egypt, killing nearly 100 million people. At that time, the total population of the world was only over 200 million. The second plague began in the mid-14th century, and in 300 years, the European continent lost 1/3 to 1/2 of its population. The third plague pandemic began in the second half of the 19th century, and it first broke out in Yunnan, China, and then broke out in South China, North China, Northeast China and other countries such as Europe, Asia and Africa.

　　Macaque Guangming Daily reporter living in Qianling Mountain Park, Guiyang City Xu Tanshe/Guangming Picture

　　In 1976, a terrible disease broke out in Sudan and Zaire in West Africa, and the patient died quickly after high fever and systemic bleeding. Scientists found a new virus in the body of the deceased and named it after Ebola, a beautiful river in West Africa. This is a typical zoonotic infectious disease, and mammals such as humans, apes, porcupines, antelopes, monkeys and fruit bats may be infected. Scientific research suggests that fruit bats may be the natural reservoir of Ebola virus.

　　Marburg virus is a close relative of Ebola virus. The virus first appeared in Germany in 1967, 31 people were infected and 7 people died. The source of infection was traced back to a group of African green monkeys from Uganda. The largest Marburg virus epidemic on record occurred in Angola, Africa in 2005, when the mortality rate was as high as 90%. At present, there are 12 outbreaks of Marburg virus, the most recent of which was in Uganda in 2017.

　　SARS, a disaster that is still fresh in our memory, has a mortality rate of 11%. SARS coronavirus is the same as novel coronavirus coronavirus. At first, some people thought civet cats were the host of the virus, but after more than ten years of follow-up research, scientists detected the gene residue of SARS virus in the body of Jutoubat, and thought that Jutoubat might be the real culprit of SARS virus.

　　For thousands of years, as the oldest enemy of human beings, viruses have been coexisting with human beings. Viruses are always threatening human beings, and human beings are constantly developing medicine to conquer viruses. Nowadays, plague has become less attractive, mainly due to the advent of plague vaccine in 1908 and the development of modern biomedicine. However, new viruses are still emerging one after another, and some old viruses are also making a comeback in a mutated way. We have to be on our guard at all times.

　　Pandora’s Box was opened.

　　The deadly virus or bacteria infected by human beings are actually permanent residents of other species. For example, bats carry a variety of viruses, including hundreds of coronaviruses; Wild snakes carry a variety of parasites in the body. If humans are infected, they can cause peritonitis, septicemia, pericarditis, iriditis and other diseases. In severe cases, they will damage many organs and even endanger their lives. Raccoon is the natural host of rabies virus, and many parasites carried in it can cause damage to human intestines and stomach. The wild groundhog, which became popular on the Internet because of the "expression pack", also carries Yersinia pestis and other germs that can cause intestinal, liver and brain damage.

　　Generally speaking, without human intervention, these viruses or bacteria only exist in wild animals. One of the unique qualities of bats is that they are more tolerant of viruses than other mammals. As the only mammal that can fly, bats have a special immune system. In this regard, there is a popular expression on the Internet: "Bats have a high fever of 40 degrees for a long time, and they have sealed the virus for thousands of years by themselves, staying up all night and trying to play a lonely Pandora’s box, so that the virus can coexist peacefully with itself."

　　However, as human beings at the top of the biological chain, they sometimes do the opposite, attacking and hunting wild animals for their own selfish desires, and causing many innocent creatures to suffer.

　　In some people’s eyes, bats, mice, snakes, pangolins, monkeys and other wild animals are all edible and delicious. Wild animals such as Chinese sturgeon, civet cats and pangolins are on the verge of extinction in many areas due to human overfishing and eating. The populations of giant salamander (giant salamander), wild sea cucumber, wild frogs, wild birds, muntjac, musk deer, gecko and other species have declined sharply.

　　Human’s aggression against animals is not only manifested as appetite. In the documentary "The Secret of the Billionaire’s Wardrobe", there is a pair of shoes, only ten pairs are sold worldwide, and the valuation is 20,000 US dollars. The special feature of this pair of shoes is that they are made from the skins of nine kinds of animals, except ostrich skin, crocodile skin, snake skin, and even lizard skin and elephant skin. Luxury brand Hermes has a white platinum bag of Himalayan crocodile, and its flawless leather is actually peeled off from the crocodile.

　　In addition, in the process of rapid industrialization and urbanization, forests are cut down, wetlands are squeezed out, and the habitats of wild animals are artificially occupied and separated … … Human activities increase the probability and speed of viruses or pathogenic bacteria in wild animals spreading to human bodies, especially in cities with high population density, which are more prone to epidemic diseases.

　　It can be seen that we humans have crossed the border of peaceful coexistence with wild animals, destroyed the original balance of nature, and opened the Pandora’s Box for the spread of epidemics, so that viruses or pathogenic bacteria that originally lived in a closed loop can invade the human body, and constantly mutate and recombine, weaving new strains of viruses or bacteria with stronger toxicity and tolerance, which will inevitably give human beings a painful lesson.

　　不打扰，就是最好的相处方式

　　人类和自然界的关系比我们想象的要复杂得多。任何野生动物，无论是濒危的还是常见的，在生态系统中都有独特的功能和定位，其他物种无法取代。因此，要从源头上预防新发传染病，我们能做的，就是不打扰——这也是人类与野生动物相处的最好方式。

　　不打扰的前提，是我们必须学会敬畏自然。中华文明历来强调“天人合一”的自然观，道家崇尚“道法自然”“清静无为”，孔子提倡“钓而不网，弋不射宿”。如今，我国的经济社会发展进入到一个全新的历史阶段，随着习近平生态文明思想的形成、发展与成功实践，我们必须承认自然的主体价值，敬畏自然，敬畏生命。

　　不打扰的内涵，是我们必须学会和谐共生。杜绝不合理的野生动物消费只是最基本的要求，同时还要减少、杜绝对野生动物栖息地的侵扰。在很多人看来，山里没有了野生动物，山还是原来的山。而从生态学的角度看，没有了野生动物，山已经不是原来的山了。一些野生动物的相继灭绝，意味着地球生态系统被破坏，随后，各种自然灾害就会接踵而来。

　　The principle of not disturbing is to keep a scientific and reasonable distance. Just when novel coronavirus was raging, wildlife management stations in some places drove away wintering bats on a large scale; In some places, the dogs in the whole village have been killed, and the number of stray cats and dogs in the city has increased in an instant … … It is our human fault to simply and rudely transfer the blame to other animals. From a painful experience, we should think deeply: what kind of distance should we keep between human beings and wild animals? Wild animals grow freely in their own territory. If it is not human intrusion, how can viruses or pathogenic bacteria invade and endanger human health and even life?

　　The root of not disturbing is to establish a correct value concept. With the continuous expansion of human greed and the increasing ability to capture nature, when what is claimed exceeds the output of nature, the ecological balance will be broken and human beings will face the crisis of losing their survival safety. The rapid development of industrial civilization for hundreds of years has degraded the earth’s biosphere to the brink of collapse. We must establish correct values, take the idea of ecological civilization as the guide, accelerate the formation of green production methods and lifestyles, consciously protect wild animals, maintain ecological balance, and realize friendly symbiosis and harmonious coexistence between human beings and wild animals.

　　Zhongxin. com, Wuhan, November 2 (Wang Youzhe, Lin Xinyi, Fu Chengcheng) Recently, Hubei University of Economics launched a running App among freshmen to juniors. According to the regulations, students who have run for 30 times will pass. For each additional time, the effective score will be added with 3 points until 100 points. If the substitute runner is found, it will be treated as cheating and the file will be recorded.

　　Cui Gaoyuan, vice president of the School’s Sports school of economics and management, said that the scores of freshmen and sophomores using App for running and punching cards accounted for 30% of this semester’s sports scores, and juniors can only participate in the physical fitness test if their scores using App for running and punching cards reach the standard of passing or above. Students have at most one exercise record every day, which is related to sports achievements, and the excess part is only recorded but not related to achievements.

　　Cui Gaoyuan said that the purpose of linking the punch card score with the final sports score is to encourage students to get out of the dormitory, strengthen exercise, cultivate students’ healthy concept of loving sports and advocating sports, form good exercise habits and improve their physical fitness.

　　Students can check the map and choose the best route to the distribution point according to the site conditions. Photo by Huang Siqi

　　"I used to exercise very little. Since the school implemented the running APP, everyone is running and unconsciously wants to run two steps." Huang Ziwei, a freshman at the school, said that he insisted on punching cards every day and his running enthusiasm was much stronger than before.

　　It is worth noting that the school has also formulated an effective standard for single exercise. Boys should run for 1 km at a time, and the running pace should be within the range of 3-9min/km. If a girl’s running mileage reaches 0.8 km at a time and her running pace is within the range of 3-9min/km, her performance will be effective. Cui Gaoyuan said that the introduction of this regulation is mainly to ensure the safety of students, and secondly to achieve sports effects.

　　Huang Siqi, a sophomore in the school of finance, said that under this sports standard, you can complete punching as long as you walk faster. However, she also said that this punching APP has a task nature and may affect the quality of sports.

　　In this regard, Cui Plateau said that in the background, every time the APP is used to run and punch in, it is set to "random allocation", in order to reduce or even avoid the phenomenon of running on behalf of others. In addition, the school will also conduct supervision through inspection teams, student reports, and big data comparison analysis. If students are found to have "violation of discipline" such as running on behalf of others, once verified, they will be dealt with as cheating in the exam and recorded. (End)

Poster of "Donkey’s Water"

Special feature of 1905 film network Mahua FunAge’s second film, The Water of the Donkey, was released last Friday. This low-cost film, which has no big director, no stars and no special effects, has actually held the first place in the box office, and has been well received. Some people even call it the best domestic feature film this year.

　

After "Charlotte" and "Donkey’s Water", there will definitely be more and more film and television companies aiming at drama adaptation of this IP pond. A few days ago, Rao Xiaozhi’s "Hello, Crazy" just held a final release conference in Peking University Centennial Lecture Hall; Ying Huang’s "French Dinner for Two" also appeared in the project announcement of the Film Bureau in early October, which is likely to become the third film produced by Mahua FunAge; Earlier, it was reported that the drama "Treasure Island Village" co-produced by Lai Shengchuan and Wang Weizhong will also be made into a movie.

Lai Shengchuan, known as the "leader of Asian theater directors", and Wang Weizhong, the "father of Taiwan Province variety", collaborated on "Treasure Island Village"

In the face of a new wave of drama adaptation, we interviewed Zhou Shen and Liu Lu, two directors of "The Water of the Donkey", and Mr. Zhang Chiyu, the screenwriter of Mahua FunAge’s drama "The Iron Fist of Shame" and "The Story of a Prison Friend", to talk about the advantages and sufferings of drama adaptation.

　

Drama and movies have become the most familiar strangers.

Both drama and film are diachronic arts, both lasting about two hours, and the process of adaptation is basically 1:1 presentation. Commercial films are generally arranged in four stages: beginning, turning point, crisis and ending. The most classic drama is also a four-act play, so the rhythm of the two is very similar, and it is easier to realize transformation. From this point of view, it is less difficult to adapt a drama into a film than a literary adaptation, or even less difficult to film a TV series and an online drama.

　

The performance systems of the two schools are the same, and they are divided into two schools: one is the Experiential School of stanislavski in the former Soviet Union, and the other is expressionism in Brecht. The French New Wave movies, represented by Ge Daer, like to break the fourth wall and let the actors perform in front of the camera, which comes from Brecht’s expressionism. Therefore, it is easier to adapt drama to film at the performance level.

　

Director and screenwriter Zhang Chiyu of Mahua FunAge

Dramatic works have experienced the tempering of the stage. Zhang Chiyu concluded that Mahua FunAge’s core creative mode is collective creation and rehearsal audition. This is actually the mode adopted by most drama groups. At the beginning of a work, the director puts forward the general idea, and then all the actors work together to improve it and create collectively. After the script comes out, it has to be rehearsed, revised while arranging, and further improved through internal audition. Zhang Chiyu believes that the rehearsal plays a very important role in promoting the script. "If a book was originally only four points, it can reach at least six points after rehearsal." After a long stage performance, the script is improved day by day according to the feedback from the audience. In this way, the works tested by the audience are put on the big screen, and the success rate is higher.

The adaptation of a drama into a film has to go over more than one hill.

Although there is a natural affinity between drama and film, which makes it easy to transform them, they are two completely different art forms after all, and they will encounter many problems and difficulties in the process of remake.

　

Some drama themes are not suitable for adaptation into movies. For example, the earliest film project planned by Mahua FunAge is actually not Charlotte, but Earl of Wulong Mountain. However, this drama does not quite conform to the structure of genre films, and the content involved is sensitive and easy to fail the review. For example, the heroine is a transgender, the first half is a man, and the second half is a woman, which is not suitable for adaptation into a movie.

　

The influence of Earl of Wulongshan once spread to CCTV.

Drama emphasizes hypothesis, while film emphasizes realism. As Zhou Shen said, "Some things are true on the stage of drama, but they are not true in front of the camera of the film." Therefore, the stage is more inclusive, and the exaggerated burden and crazy creativity will not make people question. For example, in "Shameless Iron Fist", the heroine played by Mary came out of the toilet, which the audience might not accept in the movie. Therefore, in the second half of the film, some crazy plots were deleted to make it closer to reality. Therefore, hypothesis is often the primary problem to be overcome in the process of adapting drama into film.

　

Movies adapted from drama are often weak in lens and editing, and the "film sense" is not very strong. There are similar problems in "Charlotte" and "Donkey Water", which rely too much on fixed shots and scene scheduling, and are immature in the use of shots and clips, and only stay at the narrative level. All this needs to be overcome by the director’s accumulation of shooting experience and long-term exploration.

Facts have proved that from drama to film adaptation, love and hate are in an instant.

1. The Water of the Donkey (2016)

Zhou Shen and Liu Lu graduated from Chinese opera directing, and their major dramas include If I’m Not Me, Water from the Donkey, Biography of Van Gogh and so on. The water of the donkey was originally a movie outline created by them in 2010. Because of infringement, Zhou Shen and Liu Lu arranged the water of the donkey into a drama in order to make it meet the audience faster. Unexpectedly, it became an instant hit in the commercial drama circle, gained a good reputation and box office, and was staged in Chaoyang 9 Theater for five consecutive years.

　

Director and screenwriter Zhou Shen and Liu Lu of the film "The Water of the Donkey"

Zhou Shen and Liu Lu never gave up the idea of making "The Water of the Donkey" into a movie. They took the script to many film companies, but they didn’t make it because of their insistence on their works, and the most serious one almost went to court. Finally, I chose to cooperate with Mahua FunAge because Mahua is very tolerant in creation and has a high tolerance for creators. However, compared with the IP of Mahua, the film is too cold and has no popular commercial elements at present. Therefore, although Mahua has great confidence in it, it does not have high box office expectations, and it is not expected to achieve the box office results of goodbye mr. loser.

　

The film adaptation of "The Water of the Donkey" should be regarded as relatively successful. The second half of the drama is a little long, and the whole stage is almost out of control, getting crazier and darker, which makes the audience breathless. These problems have been solved in the film, and the media transformation of the original drama actors has been completed well, although the photography and editing of the film need to be strengthened.

2. goodbye mr. loser (2015)

Mahua FunAge was founded in 2003, and his first work is "I’ll give you a twist if I want to eat", starring He Jiong and Nana. Until the Earl of Wulong Mountain in 2011, Mahua gradually formed its own comedy style and brand. At the end of each year, Mahua will launch a New Year’s comedy, and their works are between traditional drama and movies: they don’t follow the classic "three unifications", and they frequently hide behind the scenes and change scenes, which is somewhat similar to the transitions and editing of movies. This makes their works more suitable for film adaptation.

　

Goodbye mr. loser directed by Yan Fei and Peng Damo.

Yan Fei and Peng Damo first wrote "Charlotte" just to make a movie. Unexpectedly, it has become the most successful drama of Mahua, which has reached the 33rd round in Beijing and has also toured many cities in China. Although the film version of "Charlotte" rose suddenly and won a great victory last year, its shortcomings are also very obvious. Most people who have seen the drama think that the film version is not as good as the drama version. The main reason is that the film has simplified many details, which makes the plot in the second half of the film not coherent enough and looks a bit like a sketch.

　

3. Gorgeous Office Workers (2015)

The Gorgeous Office Worker, which was released last year, was adapted from Lin Yihua’s musical Life and Survival of Gorgeous Office Workers. Lin Yihua is the most famous drama director in Hongkong, and his main work is the adaptation of Four Great Classical Novels. The film version is directed by Du Qifeng, starring Zhang Aijia, Chow Yun Fat, Eason Chan, Tang Wei, etc. Zhang Shuping contributed gorgeous dance beauty and costumes, while Tayu Lo was responsible for original music. However, the luxurious lineup and hundreds of millions of investments only brought in less than 50 million box office.

　

The main reason is that the film fails to deal with the relationship between the assumption of the stage and the realism of the film. "Workplace", which is very realistic and suitable for adaptation into a movie theme, has been turned into a staged musical by the director, with symbolic characters, ritualized songs and dances, and conceptual scenes, and there is no real scene at all. All of them are filmed in the shed, and with the performances of actors sometimes dubbing and sometimes lip-synching, it is really difficult for people to have a sense of substitution, and they can simply dance in minutes.

4. Twelve Citizens (2015)

There were many versions of Twelve Citizens before, including film version and drama version, and now the Shanghai Drama Art Center is still putting on a stage version of Twelve People. Xu Ang, the director of Twelve Citizens, is the drama director of People’s Art Theatre, and his masterpiece is The Sorrow of Comedy starring Chen Daoming and He Bing. This film also absorbs the old drama bones of a number of drama stages, such as He Bing, Han Tongsheng and Qian Bo, who are all excellent drama actors.

　

The story "Twelve Citizens" is actually very suitable for the drama stage, because it is extremely complex with "three unifications" and the time, place and plot are highly unified. Tell the story of twelve jurors discussing the case in a room for two hours. Therefore, it is very difficult to adapt this story into a movie, and the fixed scenes and characters are easy to make movie audiences tired. But the completion of the film is still very good. First of all, it completes the localization of the script well, which makes the story neutral in the contemporary social background of China. Secondly, the director took advantage of photography to highlight some details, such as the band-aid on He Bing’s head, the sweat behind Gao Dongping, and so on, which made enough intriguing foreshadowing.

　

5. (2014) (2015)

　

Both films directed by Deng Chao and Yu Baimei are adapted from the drama of the same name by Bai Mei Studio. Deng Chao met Yu Baimei through his senior graduation work "Cui Hua, Pickled Sauerkraut". Later, the two became good friends, and they also engaged in drama together. Now public opinion generally believes that the two films they directed are 100% rotten films.

　

In fact, these two works are typical farce on the stage of drama, but this does not prevent them from being loved by the audience. Although the style is not high, they are vivid and funny. Because the stage of drama is more inclusive, their exaggerated jokes are easily accepted by the audience. However, it was different after being put on the movie screen, and their exaggeration was further expanded, which eventually led to the disgust of the audience.

　

In a word, although drama is rich in IP resources, there are many convenient conditions for drama adaptation of movies. However, the transformation from one art form to another is not simply copying and pasting. It is necessary to dig deep into the core and spiritual connotation of the story according to the characteristics of different media and break the boundaries of different art forms. Only in this way can we create a well-known work, and we hope that the works adapted from drama to film will get better and better.

Conference site

CCTV News:The Ministry of Education held a press conference today (20th) to disclose the details of the reform of the enrollment system for the senior high school entrance examination. According to the "Guiding Opinions on Further Promoting the Reform of the Examination Enrollment System in Senior High Schools" issued by the Ministry of Education recently, it is necessary to further promote the reform of the examination enrollment system in senior high schools (referred to as the reform of the senior high school entrance examination).

What is the reform of the senior high school entrance examination?

The goal of this reform is to gradually establish a high school enrollment model of "junior high school academic level test scores+comprehensive quality evaluation". It is important to change the current practice of simply adding up the scores of some subjects as the only basis for admission in senior high school enrollment, and overcome the score theory.

First, promote the junior high school level examination. In the future, junior high school graduation and senior high school entrance examination will be combined into junior high school academic level examination, so as to realize "multi-purpose in one examination" and reduce the burden of students preparing for exams many times.

●Change the composition of examination subjects

Chinese, mathematics and foreign languages are the basic subjects, and they are unified as admission scoring subjects. Incorporate physical education into the admission scoring subjects, scientifically determine the test scores or other requirements, and guide students to strengthen physical exercise. At the same time, according to the principle of giving consideration to both arts and sciences and moderate burden, the pilot areas will determine other subjects to be included in the "admission scoring subjects" to prevent group partiality. The subjects set in the national curriculum plan are all included in the scope of the academic level examination, but it is not required to include all subjects in the enrollment scoring subjects, so as not to increase the burden on students.

This reform also puts forward that students can be given the right to choose and develop their advantages and specialties on the premise that each course is qualified. Therefore, students will be able to choose other "admission scoring subjects" except Chinese, mathematics, foreign languages and physical education in the academic level examination. However, we can’t just choose liberal arts subjects, and we can’t just choose science subjects. We should give consideration to both arts and sciences. Subjects that have no choice should not only be "studied" and "tested", but also be "qualified".

●Change the content of the exam

Reduce the content of simple memory and mechanical training, focus on examining students’ ability to analyze and solve problems, and enhance students’ innovative spirit and ability.

●Change performance expression

It can be presented in various forms, such as scores and grades. It reiterates the requirement of encouraging qualified areas to implement "grades" to avoid students’ competing for points and excessive competition.

Second, improve students’ comprehensive quality evaluation. The reform clearly requires the pilot areas to take the comprehensive quality evaluation as the basis or reference for high school enrollment, so that the "comprehensive quality evaluation", which used to be in a subordinate and reference position, becomes the protagonist and really plays a role in high school enrollment. As for the evaluation content, it is required to refine and improve the evaluation content and requirements in five aspects: ideological and moral character, academic level, physical and mental health, artistic accomplishment and social practice. The evaluation focuses on reflecting students’ all-round development and personality traits, and paying attention to examining students’ daily behavior norms and outstanding performance. In the evaluation procedure, it is emphasized to make realistic records, publicize and review the factual materials used for enrollment, and establish comprehensive quality evaluation files. In the use of results, whoever uses and evaluates the results should be implemented, and senior high schools should formulate specific use methods according to the school-running characteristics, so that comprehensive quality evaluation can really play a role in enrollment and crack the score-only.

Weifang, Shandong (treating the comprehensive quality evaluation results as a combination with Chinese, mathematics and other subjects), Jiaxing, Zhejiang (converting the comprehensive quality evaluation results into corresponding scores and counting them in the total score, with a perfect score of 20 points), Changsha, Hunan (screening according to the order of academic performance, comprehensive quality evaluation results, policy bonus points and foreign language scores) and other places, although the specific methods are different, they have been included in the enrollment system.

Third, reform the enrollment methods.Significantly reduce and strictly control bonus items. Cancellation of sports, art and other competition bonus items, related specialties and performances are included in the students’ comprehensive quality evaluation files, which will be used as a reference when enrolling students. Further improve the independent enrollment policy, give qualified high school a certain number of independent enrollment places, recruit students with academic expertise and innovative potential, and encourage the development of students’ interests.

When will the reform of senior high school entrance examination begin?

Because the junior high school level examination is generally organized and implemented by the local cities, it is required that the local cities formulate a scientific and standardized comprehensive quality evaluation system, formulate a specific implementation plan for the senior high school entrance examination reform and report it to the provincial education administrative department for the record. The provincial education administrative department shall formulate unified requirements for junior high school academic level examination and comprehensive quality evaluation; Select qualified cities to further expand the comprehensive reform pilot, formulate the implementation opinions of the senior high school entrance examination reform, and report them to the Ministry of Education for the record before the end of August 2017.

The comprehensive reform pilot has been implemented since the first-year junior high school students who entered the school after 2017. The current junior high school students and non-pilot cities still implement the original examination enrollment method unchanged. By the year 2020, a model of high school entrance examination based on academic achievement and comprehensive quality evaluation will be initially formed. (CCTV reporter Zhou Peipei)

As the year approaches, I believe we are most concerned about two things: First, the A shares that have repeatedly fallen below 2,800 points have made China investors "lose their shorts"; second, whether the annual meeting and the year-end bonus will be "a fart year" as Wang Jianlin said, or "don’t give up hope even if you lose everything in the secondary market, after all, there is still a tertiary market".

The good news is that according to the data released by the national statistics department, the gross domestic product (GDP) of China reached 126.06 trillion yuan in 2023, up 5.2% year-on-year, and the growth rate was 2.2 percentage points faster than that of 2022.

In addition, the National Bureau of Statistics released the domestic consumption data for the whole year of 2023.

Among them, the retail sales of cosmetics was 414.2 billion yuan, up 5.1%, and the growth rate of cosmetics market did not outperform the market.

At the end of January, 2024, listed beauty companies at home and abroad released their 2023 financial reports and performance forecasts one after another. C2CC Media’s "Counting Beauty" column counted the relevant financial report data, and found that for domestic beauty companies, profit growth and turning losses into profits are the main melody melody, but it seems that profit growth can’t save the bleak capital market, while international beauty companies are mixed. Behind the performance growth, it is more through "price increase strategy" to offset the continuation of product sales.

We can also spy from the import and export data released by the General Administration of Customs in 2023. From January to December 2023, the total import and export value was 41.76 trillion yuan, up 0.2% year-on-year, of which the quantity and amount of cosmetics showed a double downward trend. From January to December, the import of beauty cosmetics and toiletries was 358,600 tons, down 14.2% year-on-year, and the total import value was 126.02 billion yuan, down 15.2% year-on-year.

　　Previously, walking on the street, you can often see similar slogans hanging outside the lottery betting station; In the betting station, many lottery players get together to exchange experiences. But now, is such a scene less and less common? In June this year, the national lottery sales totaled 34.767 billion yuan, a decrease of 23.862 billion yuan or 40.7% over the same period of last year. Not only did the monthly data decline, but combing the lottery sales data in the past decade found that the lottery sales showed negative growth year-on-year for the first time in the first half of this year.

An expert in the lottery industry analyzed that at the beginning of this year, in order to regulate the lottery market, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Civil Affairs and other departments strengthened the supervision of high-frequency quick-opening games and quiz games, extended the sales time of high-frequency quick-opening games and reduced the number of lottery games.

　　High-frequency fast-opening games mainly complete the process from sales to lottery every few minutes or ten minutes through electronic equipment. The data shows that in 2017, the share of Fucai quick-opening games in the total sales volume of Fucai reached 40%. In that year, the total sales volume of national welfare lottery was 216.977 billion yuan, of which the sales volume of quick-opening games was 87.522 billion yuan. A lottery player said: "The number of high-frequency fast-opening games is small, there are many awards, and the lottery is frequent. Many domestic lottery buyers are speculative when buying high-frequency fast-opening games. Some lottery buyers can play all day and easily lose their minds."

　　In January this year, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and the General Administration of Sports issued a notice requesting to adjust the rules of high-frequency fast-opening lottery games and quiz lottery games and strengthen the supervision of the lottery market. According to the notice, in recent years, China’s lottery industry has generally shown a sustained and healthy development trend. At the same time, there are still irrational lottery buying phenomena in the lottery market, such as unauthorized use of the Internet to sell lottery tickets and large bets. In particular, the market supervision of welfare lottery quick-opening games, sports lottery high-frequency games and sports lottery national online single-game quiz games needs to be strengthened.

　　The notice is clear. From February 11th, if the sales time of high-frequency quick-start games is shorter than 20 minutes, it will be adjusted to 20 minutes. Since 2019, the number of contests and events for the annual quiz game shall not be higher than 70% of the number of contests and events for sale in 2018.

　　The above-mentioned experts also pointed out that the main reason is that there was a World Cup in June 2018. At that time, the sales volume of SMG was particularly large, which also boosted the sales volume of sports lottery. However, there were no important sports events in June this year. The sharp decline in sports lottery sales in June was an important factor in the decline in lottery sales in the first half of the year.

　　Internet lottery was banned.

　　The ban on internet lottery sales also has an impact on lottery sales. In August 2018, the Ministry of Finance and other 12 departments jointly issued a document, resolutely prohibiting the unauthorized use of the Internet to sell lottery tickets.

　　Internet lottery had previously shown a blowout growth trend in 2014. The huge sales volume of nearly 100 billion yuan makes internet lottery purchase an important force to promote the development of lottery market.

　　In 2014, Internet lottery experienced a glorious period. Major sports events, including the World Cup in Brazil, boosted the sales of Internet lottery by 102% from 42 billion yuan in 2013 to 85 billion yuan, accounting for 20% of the total lottery sales. According to the Analysis Report of Internet Lottery Market in 2014, there were more than 100 million users in China who bought lottery tickets through Internet channels, and the Internet became an important betting platform and channel for users.

　　Since then, since 2015, the Ministry of Finance and other departments have repeatedly issued a document to prohibit the sale of lottery tickets through Internet channels. However, during the 2018 World Cup, a large number of mobile apps illegally sold lottery tickets through the Internet.

　　At that time, there were many fish that escaped from the net without being investigated. According to reports, through the search of "lottery" in Android and Apple mobile phone stores, some apps have stopped selling lottery tickets, but there are still many softwares that can buy lottery tickets. In the early days of the World Cup last year, many companies launched online lottery platforms again. Finally, many online football lottery platforms such as "Winning the lottery every day" and "Everyone Winning the lottery" stopped selling on June 20 last year.

　　Standardize the management of welfare lottery issuance

　　The corruption case of Fucai Center exposed last year aroused social concern. On November 9, 2018, the website of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection published a heavy article: "Pay equal attention to reduction and suppression, treat both the symptoms and the root causes, rebuild the credibility of Welfare Lottery, and the discipline inspection and supervision team stationed in the Ministry of Civil Affairs will promote the formation of a good political ecology from typical cases", with more than 4,000 words, and released confession videos of four former leaders of China Welfare Lottery Issuance Management Center.

　　After the corruption case of Welfare Lottery, the Ministry of Civil Affairs has improved the management system of welfare lottery issuance, sales, distribution and use of public welfare funds, such as changes in the internal institutions in charge of welfare lottery management.

　　On July 29, the Ministry of Civil Affairs held a press conference, and the relevant person in charge introduced that there are three main reform directions in regulating the issuance and management of welfare lottery tickets. First, cooperate with the Ministry of Finance, comprehensively rectify the unauthorized use of the Internet to sell welfare lottery tickets, and comprehensively conduct self-examination and inspection of national welfare lottery institutions and consignment agents. Second, vigorously adjust the rules of the quick opening game of welfare lottery to resolve the market risks of welfare lottery. The third is to improve the welfare lottery issuance management system. According to Economic Daily

　　Xinhai, China, May 18 (Reporter Li Jiajia) The "520 Love Bill Survey Report" released by zhenai on the 18 th shows that over 7 adults spend less than 2,000 a month on love; 80% of women want the other half to earn more than twice; The economic pressure of men’s marriage and love in first-tier cities is great; Eighty percent of men and women have less than half a year of patience in pursuing love; Shanghai Shenyang has a high-yield "crazy wife"; Love is easy to meet for 3 years; Wuhan has become the city with the most cross-regional marriage and love.

　　This report is an online sample survey of zhenai’s 100 million members, with a total of 6,289 valid samples for data analysis.

　　In the sweet time of love, all expenses are indispensable. According to the survey, 72.64% of single men and women think that it is reasonable to spend 1,000 to 2,000 yuan a month on love, which accounts for a quarter of salary income. As far as consumption is concerned, 32.6% of men think that shopping is the biggest expense in love, and "buy buy shopping" which women love is regarded as the number one enemy of wallets, followed by tourism and entertainment; Women, on the other hand, think that tourism is the biggest expense, followed by shopping and entertainment.

　　People who have talked about marriage have also passed the age of being full of affection and drinking water, and their economic income has always been concerned. The report shows that half of men think that the ideal economic state is equal to that of men and women, and 36.3% of men think that "men earn twice as much as women"; Only 15.2% of women think that the income of men and women is equal in an ideal economic state. More than 50% of women hope that men’s income is twice that of women, and 30.3% of women hope that men’s income is three times or more than that of women.

　　It can be seen that the economic pressure of men on the level of marriage and love is increasing day by day. From the data point of view, men in first-tier central cities are still "far ahead" in the face of economic pressure from marriage and love. Among the cities with high demands from women, Beijing ranks first, followed by Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Chengdu, Wuhan and Xi’ an.

　　In this regard, Zhang Shasha, an emotional expert in zhenai, believes that from the traditional culture of China, men are endowed with the important task of supporting their families. However, in contemporary society, the situation has changed a lot, and women’s ability and value have been greatly improved, even surpassing men in many aspects, so it is unnecessary to rely too much on men economically. At the same time, it is pointed out that it is not worth the loss if you miss the object of good character and sincere treatment with harsh economic requirements.

　　The fast pace of modern society makes all kinds of fast food cultures and quick concepts popular, which also changes people’s emotional concepts and emotional patience, and makes single men and women in reality seize the day emotionally. According to the report, 79% of men and women said that they are willing to spend no more than six months in pursuing their feelings, and 35% of men and 44.4% of women spend less than one month. Only 21% people are willing to spend more than half a year to pursue their favorite object. Interestingly, the post-90s generation accounts for the most of this group, which shows that the post-90s generation is more persistent in the process of pursuing love.

　　80% of men and women’s patience in pursuing love is less than half a year.

　　Once the confession is rejected, 51.09% of men and women will choose to give up directly, 31.86% are still willing to spend a month fighting for opportunities, and only 17.05% will choose to impress each other with persistence for more than half a year.

　　Love is a process of mutual attraction. Zhang Shasha, an emotional expert in zhenai, said that in pursuit, the time is too short, and the other party may not know you well enough. Therefore, if the frequency of contact between the two parties is high (including telephone or network contact), it can be judged whether they can attract each other in more than three months. If the frequency is low, the pursuit period can be extended to six months.

　　Couples are small enemies, and quarrels and bumps are inevitable. The survey found that 54.6% of men said they would compromise immediately when they quarreled, and they were full of tolerance, thoughtfulness and warmth, and 37% of men would compromise in 1-2 days. In-depth investigation shows that men in Shanghai, Shenyang and Beijing admit their mistakes the fastest. For men in these cities, they are likely to become "crazy wives" in the future, and they know how to tolerate and understand best in love. Relatively speaking, men in Chongqing, Suzhou and Guangzhou are more "proud", and it takes 1-2 days to compromise for love. However, it takes more than half of women an average of 1-2 days (50.2%) to compromise.

　　"If you quarrel with your girlfriend, you will win, and you will be single in the end," said Mr. Chen, 27, from Haidian District, Beijing. "Although this is an online joke, I agree that love is not a place to make sense. Boys should have let girls talk slowly and never be angry. It is also good for yourself to admit your mistake in time and marry your girlfriend. "

　　"Giving" is a word that appears frequently in love. The report shows that such behaviors as "spending time with each other", "following each other’s city life", "filial piety to each other’s parents", "giving all the money to each other for safekeeping" and "working hard for each other’s dreams" are all on the list, which are the main giving behaviors of people in love.

　　As for the in-depth study of "following the other city life", it will be found that the more floating people in first-tier cities, the more marriage and love in different places they face. Whether to choose the other city life for love is also a problem that young people have to face. The survey found that 50% of post-80s people are willing to follow each other’s city life for love, which accounts for the most than other age groups. The data shows that Wuhan, Nanjing, Chengdu, Shenzhen and Hangzhou are cities where couples are more willing to move for each other. It can be seen that these cities have the most foreign daughters-in-law and foreign sons-in-law.
