The report of "Z generation" nutrition consumption trend is released, and the concept of nutrition consumption after 1995 is seen through the report

In response to the "Healthy China 2030" Planning Outline and practicing the "Big Food Concept", the first "518 China Nutrition Festival" sponsored by Xinhuanet, assisted by Tomson Bianjian, and professionally guided by the Science Popularization Committee of China Nutrition Society and National Nutrition Week was officially launched. In recent years, with the appearance of punk-style health preservation, young people are paying more and more attention to health. In order to better understand the nutrition and health status of young people, the first session During the "518 China Nutrition Festival", Xinhuanet, Tomson Bianjian and JD Health jointly released the "Z Generation Nutrition Consumption Trend Report". one carry all before one "Generation Z" is paying more and more attention to nutrition and health. According to the report, in 2021, the domestic market for nutritional products will have a market scale of more than 260 billion yuan, with dietary supplements and vitamins accounting for 70%, and the growth rate of sports nutrition will be the fastest. It is predicted that the market scale will reach 320 billion yuan in 2025. Among them, young people are becoming the main force of health care consumption. On average, the average annual expenditure of permanent residents in each city exceeds that of 1000 yuan for health care, and the proportion of young consumers aged 18 to 35 is as high as 83.7%.
The report shows that the "Z generation" is satisfied with their current nutritional status, but the proportion is not high, but they are willing to invest in health. The most important functions in the nutritious food purchased for oneself are vitamins/minerals, enhancing immunity and improving sleep. The needs of young people are becoming more and more diversified and subdivided, and the consumer market has shown more growth. 2 Catch up with the tide for health and be lazy for health. "Z generation" nutrition consumption is more pleasing to themselves. The report shows that the "Z generation" also tends to be more personalized in the choice of healthy consumption, and presents four major trends: catching up with the tide for health, being lazy for health, involution nutrition and self-satisfaction consumption. Keeping in good health with the tide reflects that "the post-95 s and post-00 s" have different health concepts from the previous generation. They care more about "maintenance and prevention".
Being lazy and healthy is the attitude of contemporary youth. Compared with traditional tonics, portable, simple and ready-to-eat "light nutrition" products are more favored by "Z generation".
The nutrition market is also very involved. As the "Z generation" represented by "self-awakening and minority personality", they are not satisfied with general maintenance, different circles have different personalized needs, and their nutritional needs are becoming more and more diversified and subdivided. Most "Generation Z" buy for themselves, and the top three considerations when buying nutritious food are efficacy, price and taste respectively. This shows that the "Z generation" is becoming more and more strict in purchasing nutritious food, which is not only effective for health, but also cost-effective, delicious and appropriate practical consumption ideas. In addition, the "Z generation" as a whole is more inclined to give priority to nutritional products with higher face value and newer form.
three Lack of professional knowledge "Z generation" nutrition and healthy consumption education is at the right time The younger generation attaches great importance to their own health management. The vast majority of "Generation Z" expressed their desire to have a more nutritious and healthy life, but due to the lack of professional knowledge, there was a situation in which the mind was willing but unable to do so. First of all, it is the health challenge brought by bad work and rest such as staying up late. Secondly, there are many cases of unbalanced nutrition caused by excessive pursuit of low sugar and low carbon water. With the awakening of health awareness, "Generation Z" is paying more and more attention to nutritional status. However, many people fall into the dilemma of controlling nutritional intake too harshly or too delicately for their bodies or being guided by false information. Among them, more than 30% of "Generation Z" said that their peers around them had excessive pursuit of low-sugar and low-carbon water, and even talked about "fat" color change, or followed online celebrity to lose weight and not eat carbohydrate.
Due to the lack of professional nutrition knowledge and perseverance, it is easy for Generation Z to start health preservation and give up. How to keep healthy persistently is a challenge for Generation Z.. In the survey, more than half of the "Generation Z" said that the scientific and nutritious dietary lifestyle is easy to give up after a few days, and even 62.44% of the representatives of Generation Z have the possibility of wasting after buying nutritional products. How to make the "Generation Z" keep healthy steadily has become a new challenge.
The survey also found that there are still many "Z generation" who do not pay attention to the nutritional balance in daily life and cram for nutrition temporarily. This step-by-step "Z generation" recognizes the importance of health, but its understanding of nutrition science is not deep. The report pointed out that the "Z generation" has unlimited potential for nutrition consumption, and they attach great importance to nutrition and health, and are also receiving more and more social attention. "Generation Z" is a picky generation, and has its own personalized understanding of nutritional supplements, but there is still room for optimization in scientific nutritional cognition and purchasing behavior. Only by strengthening the scientific guidance of the whole society can the "Z generation" truly understand what scientific nutrition is, become a unique new generation of health care and become the main force to shoulder the future healthy trend.

Reduce the price by 70%! Lilly, the American insulin giant, made a big price adjustment, and the monthly deductible limit was $35.

    Lilly, the American insulin giant, will cut the price of insulin by 70%.

  On March 1st, local time, American pharmaceutical giant Lilly announced that its two best-selling insulin products, Humalog (human insulin) and Humulin (insulin injection), would be reduced by 70%, effective from the fourth quarter of 2023. In addition, Lilly plans to expand its insulin value plan, limiting patients’ out-of-pocket expenses to $35 or less per month.

  Judging from the specific selling prices of the above two products, the price of a 10 ml bottle of quick-acting Humalog is $274.70, which will be reduced to $66.40, and the price of the same dose of Humulin is $148.70, which will be reduced to $44.61.

  Lilly is one of the three giants of insulin in the world. The company is headquartered in Indiana, USA, and has about 37,000 employees worldwide. The other two insulin giants are Novo Nordisk in Denmark and Sanofi in France, and Novo Nordisk has always been the leader.

  "Although the current health care system provides insulin for most diabetics, it still can’t provide everyone with affordable insulin, which needs to be changed." David A. Ricks, chairman and CEO of Lilly, said that Lilly’s announcement of a sharp price reduction will have a real impact on American diabetics, but the price reduction needs time for the implementation of insurance and pharmacy systems, and the company is taking relevant measures.

  In addition to the price reduction of insulin products commonly used in the above products, Lilly also said that the price of unbranded insulin will be reduced from $82 to $25 per bottle, with a price reduction rate of 69.5%, which will start on May 1, which is also the lowest price level among all insulin used by diabetic patients before and after meals, lower than the price of Humalog products of Lilly in 1999. Rezvoglar, another insulin product, is a biosimilar of Sanofi’s insulin product Lantus, which will be launched on April 1st, and its price is 78% lower than that of Sanofi’s products.

  In response to Lilly’s price reduction, Chuck Henderson, CEO of American Diabetes Association, bluntly encouraged other insulin manufacturers to do the same.

  According to Forbes, Lilly Company’s involvement in insulin production can be traced back to more than a century ago. In the 1920s, Lilly Company became the first company to mass-produce human insulin for treating diabetes. Today, the company produces several different insulin products, and its revenue fell by more than 10% in 2022 due to the falling prices in the United States and abroad.

  In recent years, Lilly has been criticized for pricing its insulin products. In January this year, the Attorney General of California filed a lawsuit against Lilly and other insulin manufacturers, accusing these companies of using their market influence to charge excessive insulin fees to diabetic patients. Several other states have filed similar lawsuits. Lilly denied these allegations.

  Why limit the out-of-pocket cost of insulin products to $35 per month? It is reported that in August 2022, the US Congress passed the Inflation Reduction Act, which stipulated that the upper limit of insulin out-of-pocket expenses for patients covered by Part D of medical insurance was $35 per month, which took effect on January 1, 2023; Patients with general medical insurance will enjoy a monthly price ceiling of $35 from July 1, 2023.

  Lilly said that patients without medical insurance can also apply for the company’s insulin value plan and get Lilly’s insulin at a price of $35 per month.

  As of March 1, EST, Lilly’s share price rose 0.94% to $314.150/share, with a total market value of $298.6 billion.

The real tiger can’t carry "Sunshine Robber", so it’s time to talk about the existence value of animal actors.

Author/Baoyi 

This May 1st file, the film "Sunshine Robber" promotes the real tiger element in a high-profile way, which is bound to bring a real and shocking visual experience to the audience.

 

"Sunshine Robber" promotional materials

 

According to producer Fang Li, in order to highlight the real tiger texture in the film, he "used five real tigers, including three Siberian tigers and two Bengal tigers" in the process of photography. After the screening, many viewers also gave positive comments on this little tiger, such as "cute", "lifelike" and "the best in the audience".

 

However, the real tiger element seems to have failed to greatly promote the box office and word-of-mouth of Sunshine Robber. The film was released for 4 days, with box office less than 40 million, Douban 5.5, Cat’s Eye 7.2 and Taobao Film 7.3, and the voices about boycotting animal performances came as scheduled.

 

From this, we can’t help asking questions: can animal actors make stars and what is their value?

 

Recently, Mr. Hao Shuai, a professional animal actor director,Film Information Office (ID: dianyingqingbaochu)Sharing first-hand industry information, this article, let us face up to all kinds of problems and challenges around animal actors at present.

 

From props to actors

 

Looking back on the film history, it can be said that there is a century difference between the establishment of the status of "animal actors" in Europe, America and China.

 

As early as the 1920s, Hollywood giant Warner Bros. began to sign contracts with animal actors, and successfully produced dog stars like Rin Tin Tin, a German shepherd. However, when did China’s film and television industry officially recognize the title and identity of "animal actor"? Hao Shuai, who has been working as an animal actor director for nearly ten years, thinks that this time point should be between 2015 and 2017, because during this period, the TV series "Dog Seven" was broadcast on Hunan Satellite TV and "A Dog’s Purpose" was released on the big screen, and both of them got good market response one after another.

 

"After these two projects, more and more crews no longer classify us as a prop group, and the staff in the group are willing to call our little animals’ animal actor teachers’," Hao Shuai shared with Intelligence Jun with satisfaction.

However, Hao Shuai also bluntly said that, in addition to the rising market demand, the status of animal actors has been improved, and the unpleasant events that have appeared in the filming process of some film and television projects have sounded the alarm for how to regulate the use of animal actors.

 

"For example, some directors will think that dogs are born to stand or catch the ball. Some directors will think that dogs can work endlessly for two or three hours after watching some videos on the Internet. Others will ask dogs to make the expression required in the script at the first time … and then something will happen," Hao Shuai went on to say. "We have also participated in and witnessed related unpleasant events, so now everyone is paying more and more attention."

 

In this regard, access to past news can also be traced.

 

First of all, animal sacrifice accidents caused by the imperfect working procedures of the crew and the negligent operation of the crew have really happened in China, especially in the use of horse actors. According to the report of Youth Weekend in 2009, due to the inappropriate remarks made by Gao Xixi, the director of the new version of Three Kingdoms, that "six horses were sacrificed and eight horses were crazy in filming", the China Small Animal Protection Association "held" a media briefing in the form of a salon. At that time, Lu Di, the president of the new version of Three Kingdoms, not only denounced the crew of the new version to the media.

 

Secondly, even though the awareness of protecting animal actors has been improved, many crews now use bionic mechanical animals to assist filming, but due to the needs of the plot, the crew sometimes cannot provide 100% security for all actors, including real actors and animal actors. For example, the crew of Lonely City Closed (later renamed Qingpingle), which was accused by netizens of deliberately tripping horses and dogs in order to restore the plot of "killing dogs by escaping horses" in ancient books, made an explanation statement, while the crew of Crazy Alien, which was condemned by animal protection organizations for abusing dogs and throwing them into the river during filming, also made a statement afterwards, and director Ning Hao also deleted relevant scenes in the film.

However, the possible danger between the interaction between real actors and animal actors is also two-way. Once, jean jacques annaud, the director of the movie Wolf Totem, and William Feng, the main actor, showed the media that it was very difficult and dangerous to act with animals. Even in Hollywood, where the training mechanism for animal actors is quite mature, it is inevitable that the trainer will be accidentally killed by a bear or tiger during the filming process.

 

It can be seen that if you want to make a star as an animal actor, you must first admit that "it" is an actor, and if you want the animals in the studio to realize the gorgeous turn from props to actors, it is not just a matter of changing their names, but also requires cognitive transformation, process standardization and supporting technological innovation of all nodes in the whole industry.

 

First, real animal actors need to receive professional performance training like real actors. Therefore, from the animal training courses designed and developed for the common needs of film and television projects to the mutual cooperation of animal owners, trainers and animal directors, it is necessary to specialize in the technical field.

 

Secondly, animal actors also need to enjoy corresponding labor benefits. For example, they should not only get proper living and food care on the set, but also work moderately and avoid overtime. More importantly, all welfare items should be determined in black and white to avoid unnecessary disputes in audience sitting.

"Then who will sign the contract on behalf of the small animals?" When talking about this labor agreement, Intelligence Jun asked Hao Shuai questions. "You don’t want to grab the paws of small animals to cover the red handprints, do you?"

 

Probably amused by the brain hole of the intelligence officer, Hao Shuai replied unhurriedly: "Actually, the animal as the noumenon and the actor as the identity can’t be equated directly, because an animal actor has the efforts of the trainer and the animal director behind him, so you can understand Party B on the contract as a trinity collective noun, including the animal itself, the trainer and the animal director."

 

"So Party B in the contract is actually you as an animal director or a company legal person, right?" Intelligence jun summed up.

 

"Yes, that’s right, we act as an agent." Hao Shuai replied.

 

 

A bolder idea

 

By clarifying the process of how the animals on the set "become" actors, Hao Shuai described to us a vibrant and developing branch of the film and television industry. However, a slogan once said, "How bold people are, how productive the land is." Besides the current cognition and ability of practitioners in the field of animal actors, there are other bolder ideas for making stars in the market.

 

First of all, the marginal ability of animal actors is constantly being broken through, from simple turning around and picking up the ball upright to more complicated subtle emotional expression, the professional level of animal performance training team is constantly being pushed up. In Hao Shuai’s original words, "We will be eliminated if we don’t make progress."

 

Secondly, the business scope of the animal performance training team is constantly expanding outward. From the initial performance training and script planning to the subsequent brokerage business, medical support and animal placement, the animal performance training team has long been not limited by the word "performance training". The reason is also very simple. If they don’t participate in script planning, it will be difficult to train animals in advance according to the requirements of the crew. If they are not responsible for post-use resettlement, most crew members have no ability and obligation to undertake this responsibility.

 

Therefore, just as Beijing Mingshi Dog Industry Co., Ltd., which participated deeply in the TV series "God Dog Seven", recorded in its own official website, matters related to pet film and television, such as foster care, performance training, theme planning, actor brokerage and film and television shooting base construction, all belong to their business scope.

 

Thirdly, the types of animal actors are constantly being enriched, from pet actors with the lowest training difficulty coefficient (cats, dogs, hamsters, etc.) to scene actors with a slightly higher training difficulty coefficient (horses, sheep, etc.), and then to beast actors with the highest training difficulty coefficient (tigers, bears, wolves, lions, etc.). Writers and directors increasingly want to complete richer and more interesting film and television expressions through animal actors.

 

In this regard, some are rigid requirements, such as horses used in war scenes, while others are based on the soft requirements set by story characters, such as the horse named Joey in the classic movie War Horse, the monkey played by Geng Hao (Bo Huang) in Crazy Alien, and Xiaoxue (Song Jia)’ s pet tiger in Sunshine Robber.

However, training beast actors is not easy. Time cost, money cost, ability and qualification, risk coefficient, legal protection and other issues have all become the constraints of vigorously developing beast training business in China at present.

 

In this regard, Hao Shuai explained to Intelligence Jun that if a crew asks them for the training of specific animal actors, they will consider undertaking it on the premise that time and funds are sufficient, but not all the crews are willing to provide corresponding time and remuneration. More importantly, not all kinds of animals can be called into film and television projects, such as parrots listed in the List of National Key Protected Wild Animals. As for tigers, their breeders have to pass many examinations before they can be successfully employed in China.

 

It is reported that when film and television crews need to use beast actors in the filming process, most of them will seek assistance from compliance agencies such as circuses or zoos. For ordinary people or general training teams, taming wild animals in daily environment is even more comparable to reaching the sky.

 

Take raising tigers as an example. According to the investigation, Article 17 of People’s Republic of China (PRC) Wildlife Protection Law stipulates that the state encourages the domestication and breeding of wild animals, but it should hold a license. If you want to get a license to domesticate tigers, you need facilities and equipment that meet the conditions for raising tigers, ensure the source of feed for tigers, and make a good plan to prevent tigers from escaping. In this way, circuses, zoos and other institutions are indeed the right choice for taming tigers.

 

Therefore, if the domestic film team wants to introduce wild animals such as bears, tigers and wolves into the project, they will choose to cooperate with foreign teams and even set the shooting location of related scenes abroad. Just like "Wolf Totem" and "Sunshine Robber" both cooperated with the team of Andrew Simpson, a famous animal performance trainer, and the company "Instinct animals for film" founded by Simpson also featured animal actors such as wolves, tigers and leopards.

 

CCTV6 column report

 

In this case, why are there always fresh commercial film projects that choose to use other animal actors besides cats and dogs, or even choose to take greater personal risks to use beast animal actors? "Maybe I want to pursue novelty," Hao Shuai guessed.

 

 It can be seen that in the idea of star-making animal actors, people with a keen sense of business have already considered and laid out, and they are constantly pushing up the possible margin of star-making animal actors through bolder business development. Regardless of whether such motives and goals will be understood and supported by the whole society, it may not be a good thing if the training system and welfare guarantee mechanism of animal actors can be continuously improved in this process.

 

However, around the "animal actors", industry bottlenecks and external doubts have never stopped.

 

 

Limitation and breakthrough

 

Just as real actors have to face problems such as performance evaluation, salary payment, labor welfare and career transformation, animal actors are no exception. However, these problems are more demanding for animal actors, and the collective "aphasia" of animal actors also increases the difficulty of promoting the corresponding rights and interests.

 

In the past ten years, Hao Shuai has continuously paid attention to the above problems and pushed forward to solve them. Among them, the resettlement of animal actors, which he is particularly concerned about, has also been improved.

 

Nevertheless, the quality level and accuracy of animal performances must have a ceiling, and probably no one can clearly answer where the breakthrough in this field will fall.

 

At present, the existence and development of animal actors are faced with two major problems: one is the technical problem, that is, the competition and integration of animal actors’ real shooting and visual effects technology, and the other is the ethical problem, that is, the correctness and rejuvenation of animal performances in social audio-visual

 

Let’s start with the first question.

 

Looking at many films involving animal scenes and their behind-the-scenes production tidbits, it is not difficult to find that no animal can consistently and completely participate in the filming. body double, green screen, special effects, bionic mechanical props … behind a screen animal role, it must be supplemented by sufficient scientific and technological support.

However, if visual effects technology can really develop to a perfect level in the future, can animal actors still keep a foothold? In this regard, Intelligence Jun believes that the optimization and industrialization of film visual effects technology is an inevitable trend, and a higher level of visual effects production ability can also give the crew more animal protection space. But even so, the existence value of animal actors cannot be completely replaced-"mainly because of the cost of time and capital", Hao Shuai explained.

 

Specifically, bionic machinery, foamed latex used in physical visual effects, and 3D modeling and animation rendering used in digital visual effects are not cheap options. For shots such as capturing subtle expressions of animals, shooting real animals is indeed a more cost-effective option.

 

Behind-the-scenes tidbits of "The Fantasy Drifting of Youth School": Tiger

 

Let’s talk about the second more complicated problem.

 

Ethics has never been a black-and-white word, and the debate about the significance of animal performances has always been in the gap between the supply side and the defenders. For example, just as "Sunshine Robber" is being released, social organizations headed by "China Green Hair Society Endangered Species Special Fund Saving Performing Animals Project" are also sparing no effort to speak out for the treatment of Tiger Wenwen.

 

However, does "animal performance" include film and television performances, can "animal film and television performances" be compared with zoo performances and circus performances, where should the "moral yardstick" be placed in animal film and television performances, and does "stopping all animal performances" include the special effects presentation of collecting animal muscle data and reprocessing? And so on, all remain to be discussed.

 

After all, no one can give a satisfactory answer to all parties in an authoritative manner, and no one can make a presumption of guilt for the suppliers and defenders of animal performances. Just as everyone can applaud the The Shawshank Redemption crew for feeding crows with insects that died naturally in response to the call of animal protection organizations, they have no right to blame Christopher Nolan for not explicitly disclosing how to shoot the magic trick of "swatting dead birds".

 

Stills of Fatal Magic

 

So, can we seek a compromise breakthrough for the career planning of animal actors? For example, like the "Palm Dog" at Cannes Film Festival, a similar "Best Animal Actor Award" was set up at domestic film and television awards ceremony? In this way, not only the animal actors who have contributed superb acting skills to film and television works can be commended, but also the service team behind them can be encouraged, and a positive animal publicity image can be established in the whole society, thus promoting the benign development of the whole industry of animal performance, and achieving multiple goals in one fell swoop.

 

"We are looking forward to the birth of such an award, but I think it will take at least one or two generations to see the dawn," Hao Shuai said. "Why? Because the cognition of animals in China is still quite uneven, the older generation still has many concepts of equating kittens and puppies with livestock and wolves and tigers and leopards with fierce elephants, while the younger generation is just beginning to think about the companion role of kittens and puppies and the cultural significance of wolves and leopards. "

 

Yes, in the past words, such as Geng Hao (Bo Huang) in Crazy Alien, you can burn incense at the bodhisattva and worry about whether the name of "Southwest Monkey King" will be broken in your own hands; For example, Bao Shungui (played by Yin Zhusheng) in "Wolf Totem" regards wolves as enemies and is driven to extinction. In the discourse of the younger generation in our country, the demand for companions of various animals, the proposition reconstruction of traditional cultural images, and the active thinking about the value of life are just blooming.

 

But this is not enough, at least in the two dimensions of "partner" and "life".

 

"Suppose an ascending actor wants to walk down the red carpet with a cat or a dog, can he/she really accept that he/she is not as good as an animal in the spotlight?" Hao Shuai asked the intelligence officer.

 

"Not necessarily," the intelligence gentleman replied. However, Intelligence Jun thought to himself that some people would regard pets as the apple of their eye, and some people would feast on them in dog meat shops. Some people will really regard pets as emotional dependence, and some people will go to the "cat and dog" store to complete social needs; Some people will bow to the experimental animals under their own swords, but others will only illegally collect money under the guise of protecting animals … Who can say that no one in China will walk down the red carpet with animal actors full of joy and honor in the future?

 

tag

 

From witnessing the small animals around them get rid of the label of props, to promoting the landing and improvement of projects such as animal actor welfare agreement and job placement, most of the animal performance-related practitioners represented by Hao Shuai have witnessed and personally participated in all aspects of star-making animal actors.

 

In the matter of star-making animal actors, their goal is also very simple: that is, carefully shoot the projects in their hands, try their best to treat the actors in their hands, and if they can get a little praise, it would be great.

 

Just like Uggie, a dog who contributed superb acting skills in The Artist, he not only completed the feat of getting on the red carpet of the Academy Award, but also left paw prints on the walk of fame, writing a brilliant page in the world film history.

To sum up, animal actors can make stars-there are many pioneering cases, and looking forward to the future is even more promising.

 

However, how can we be a better and more positive star-making animal actor in China? -this question remains to be considered by all parties.

[National Special Action to Eliminate Evil] The evil forces that openly committed crimes in broad daylight were destroyed!

  Cctv newsDuring this period, eliminating evils has become a hot word. Since January this year, the nationwide special campaign to eliminate evil forces has been launched, political and legal organs at all levels in China have destroyed a number of criminal gangs of evil forces, arrested a number of criminal suspects involved in evil forces according to law, prosecuted and tried a number of criminal cases involving evil forces according to law, and promptly transferred the clues found by the "umbrella" to the discipline inspection and supervision organs for investigation according to discipline and law, which quickly formed a strong momentum of eliminating evil forces. So, how black and evil are these evil forces? Let’s look at a case in Jiangxi.

  This is Gao ‘an City, Jiangxi Province. At the end of 2015, the driving recorder of a truck took such a thrilling scene.

  After firing five or six shots at the truck, the three gunmen wearing hoods left the scene in the vehicle. However, the bad luck of the truck driver did not end. As soon as the shooting was over, three people wearing masks and hoods rushed out from the right side of the truck.

  During the whole murder, the hooded man drove the car and stopped in front of the truck to direct the command. After beating the driver, these unidentified personnel smashed the driving recorder and left. This is the damaged condition of the vehicle, and this is the truck driver involved.

  Inexplicably, the driver, Mr. Xie, had his tendons and tendons cut off, leaving him with a lifelong disability. As can be seen from the picture, the incident was not remote. At the time of the incident, pedestrians and vehicles passed by from time to time. Masked guns, daytime murder, who is so arrogant? After receiving the report, the police launched an investigation and gradually locked in a local person named Ouyang Wenming.

  Ouyang Wenming, born in 1988, is a native of Xinjie Town, Gao ‘an City. In 2013, he was imprisoned for illegal possession of guns and opening casinos, and was released from prison in June 2015. In the month when he was released from prison, Ouyang Wenming snared people and started criminal activities.

  Police investigations show that Ouyang Wenming began to make trouble after he was released from prison. This is the information provided by the police. These people with murder weapons are all gang members, who commit crimes in the street because of a trivial matter. At the same time, they use violence to infiltrate into the business field. Ms. Fan of Xinjie Town opened this chess room, and Ouyang Wenming proposed to join the joint venture. After being rejected, Ouyang Wenming immediately assigned personnel to retaliate against Ms. Fan.

  After investigation and evidence collection, in December 2015, Yichun City Public Security Bureau organized police forces throughout the city and arrested the main members of Ouyang Wenming’s gang.

  This is Ouyang Wenming, the principal criminal of the gang. On February 5 this year, the Intermediate People’s Court of Yichun City, Jiangxi Province sentenced Ouyang Wenming to 15 years’ imprisonment for organizing and leading underworld organizations. However, today, Ouyang Wenming is still evasive about his crimes.

  What is Ouyang Wenming’s so-called violation law? Police investigation shows that Ouyang Wenming’s criminal gangs are well-organized, with a large number of people and strict family rules.

  Under the control of Ouyang Wenming, gangs opened casinos, forcibly participated in the operation of other casinos, collected protection fees, and infiltrated into the fields of construction and transportation. In the case of the shooting of a concrete truck driven by the driver Mr. Xie, behind it was actually the collusion between criminals and Ouyang Wenming in an attempt to expel a large concrete enterprise from the local area and monopolize the market. Liu Jiugen, a key member of Ouyang Wenming’s criminal gang, directed and carried out this criminal activity.

  The local person in charge pointed out that Gao ‘an has an active economy and developed construction and ceramics industries. If this gang is not destroyed in time, the normal economic order will be affected.

  The reporter learned that in the case of smashing concrete vehicles, Ouyang Wenming always argued that he was entrusted by an industry association, and the problem was only business competition, which is what he called doing business in violation of the law. Professionals pointed out that this shows that the criminal activities of underworld organizations are becoming more and more hidden.

  During the investigation, the local public security department also noticed that the gang was entrenched in Gao ‘an and the border area between two neighboring counties and cities, and many illegal and criminal activities were carried out across borders, which put forward a new topic for cracking down on organized crimes involving black gangs.

  In this regard, the local government has confirmed that it will promote the linkage between counties and districts, and at the same time base itself on key industries, key areas and key people, fight early and fight small, and eliminate evil.

  A car smashing incident led to a gang of evil forces.

  In Yichun, Jiangxi Province, Ouyang Wenming gang was punished by early intervention, while in Jiaxing, Zhejiang Province, crimes committed by evil forces were effectively curbed by establishing an early warning and judgment mechanism.

  On October 22, 2016, a county public security bureau in Jiaxing, Zhejiang Province suddenly received an alarm. The policeman said that one of his cars was smashed.

  At first glance, it seems to be just an ordinary case, but the professional identity of the parties engaged in earthwork transportation has attracted the attention of the police.

  As early as April 2016, Jiaxing Public Security Bureau issued an opinion on strengthening active investigation and deepening the work of cracking down on evils. It is necessary to pay attention to the price anomalies in key industries, such as engineering construction, passenger and freight transportation, professional markets and other fields, and analyze whether there is the possibility of bullying the market from the price anomalies, and dig deep into the hegemony behind it.

  The police investigation found that there were far more than one similar victim. Most of them are engaged in earthwork excavation and transportation on construction sites.

  With the deepening of the investigation, criminal gangs involved in evil, led by Zhang, who monopolized the transportation of local muck, surfaced.

  Zhou Moumou, a native of Chongqing, is Zhang’s right-hand man and the head of the thugs group. He has gathered eight young people from other places to act as thugs, and he is also the second-in-command of this criminal gang.

  In fact, it is not that simple to do the muck business in the so-called "mediation" way.

  Verbal intimidation and violent beating are the usual means of Zhang’s gang. Sometimes they are short of manpower, and they will temporarily hire people. No matter what means are used, there is only one purpose: either force the other party to accept their high price, or pack up and leave.

  Cure at the source to curb crimes committed by evil forces

  In this way, Zhang monopolized the local earthwork transportation business, which seriously disrupted social security and market order. Later, the police investigation revealed that there were more than 30 cases of Zhang gang’s forced trading, trouble-seeking, intentional injury, etc. At the end of March 2017, after mastering and verifying a large number of evidence of illegal crimes, Jiaxing city and county public security organs closed their nets at the same time, arresting ten suspects such as Zhang and Zhou Moumou in one fell swoop, and the local earthwork transportation business returned to normal.

  It is no accident that a criminal gang was dug up from an ordinary public security case.

  It is precisely because of the guarantee of the clue investigation and discovery mechanism that the police can fight early and fight small and eliminate evil in the process of cracking down on evil forces.

  Eliminate evils and give people more sense of security.

  In broad daylight, openly committing crimes, such evil forces were destroyed, which was very exciting and inspiring. At the same time, we can also notice that the current characteristics of hidden crimes, behind-the-scenes criminals and "soft violence" in criminal behavior reflect the new trend of illegal crimes involving black and evil, which is a common difficulty in the struggle against evil in various places and is also the focus of the central government’s request to crack down. We hope that, on the basis of summing up experience, we can continue to push forward the elimination of evils and give the people more sense of security.

Jiangsu: Ensure that cases of unpaid wages are dynamically cleared before the Spring Festival.

Four departments in Jiangsu held a news briefing to ensure the payment of wages for migrant workers. People’s Network Ma Xiaobo photo
People’s Daily Online, Nanjing, January 14 (Ma Xiaobo) With the Spring Festival approaching in 2021, how to ensure the wage payment of migrant workers has become a hot topic again. On January 14th, Jiangsu Provincial Court, Provincial Procuratorate, Provincial Public Security Department, Provincial People’s Social Welfare Department and other four departments jointly held a news briefing to ensure the payment of wages for migrant workers, and released a number of typical cases to introduce relevant measures taken by various departments to protect the legitimate rights and interests of migrant workers.
People’s Daily learned that since the winter special campaign to eradicate unpaid wages, the province’s special campaign has investigated and inspected 59,400 employers and paid 133 million yuan for 21,600 migrant workers. As the Spring Festival approaches, the courts in the province will further strengthen the enforcement of the trial of unpaid wages to ensure that the cases of unpaid wages are dynamically cleared and all the execution funds are paid before the Spring Festival.
Long-term arrears of wages, the person in charge of the enterprise was sentenced.
Since 2014, Zhu, the head of an enterprise, has set up two companies in Gaoyou and Yangzhou. Later, due to management problems, he owed 13 employees a total salary of more than 540,000 yuan. In February 2021, in order to avoid paying wages, Zhu fled to other places to hide. After receiving a joint complaint, Gaoyou Human Resources and Social Security Bureau issued the Instruction for Correction of Labor Security Supervision Time Limit on February 19, 2021, ordering Zhu to pay the arrears of wages within 3 days, and sending a text message to Zhu to go to the Labor Security Supervision Brigade of the bureau for investigation and handling. On March 15th of the same year, Zhu, who refused to cooperate, was arrested and brought to justice. He truthfully confessed the main criminal facts.
Gaoyou City People’s Court held that Zhu, as the directly responsible person in charge of the company and the operator of individual merchants, evaded the payment of labor remuneration by hiding, and the amount was large, but he still refused to pay after being ordered by the relevant government departments, which constituted a crime of refusing to pay labor remuneration. After Zhu was brought to justice, he truthfully confessed the main criminal facts and could be given a lighter punishment according to law. Accordingly, he was sentenced to 1 year and 2 months in prison and fined for refusing to pay labor remuneration.
How can migrant workers use legal weapons to effectively defend their legitimate rights and interests when they encounter the problem of unpaid wages? At the meeting, Chen Liang, vice president of the Fourth People’s Court of Jiangsu Province, introduced that the courts in Jiangsu Province have effectively implemented the working mechanism of "quick establishment, quick trial, quick settlement and quick execution" in cases of unpaid wages, and established a green channel for the whole process of filing, trial and execution of cases involving migrant workers. In addition, the Jiangsu provincial court set up a special window for migrant workers with financial difficulties to file a case for people’s livelihood, and took the initiative to reduce or postpone legal fees and assist in applying for legal aid.
People’s Daily learned that in 2021, courts in Jiangsu Province concluded more than 30,000 civil cases of unpaid wages. Since the launch of the winter special campaign, the provincial courts have concluded 5745 civil cases of unpaid wages. For the crime of refusing to pay labor remuneration. On the one hand, the courts in the province have always maintained a high-pressure situation of cracking down on crimes of refusing to pay labor remuneration, and resolutely and severely punished criminals with bad criminal circumstances and serious consequences, effectively deterring the crime of unpaid wages. In 2021, there were 60 cases of refusing to pay labor remuneration, and 62 people were sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment and criminal detention. On the other hand, the provincial courts insisted on paying equal attention to cracking down on crimes and chasing after them, actively used the lenient system of pleading guilty and recognizing punishment, and safeguarded the rights and interests of workers in various ways, and recovered and repaid wages of more than 11.54 million yuan before judgment.
If the enterprise is poorly managed, the procuratorate will promote the implementation of reconciliation.
Wage arrears are not a situation in which enterprise managers subjectively evade paying migrant workers’ wages. In 2021, the procuratorate of Liuhe District, Nanjing found a clue of a dispute between migrant workers and a clothing company to pursue labor remuneration during the special campaign to eradicate wage arrears.
Thirty-two farmers, including Zhao, worked odd jobs in local market town clothing enterprises. The company owed Zhao and others more than 200,000 yuan in labor remuneration from May to July 2021 due to poor management. After accepting the case, the procuratorate found that the clothing company failed to pay off other large debts except the wages of 32 migrant workers involved in the case due to poor management. The procuratorate of Liuhe District believes that workers have the right to get remuneration, and the employer should pay the remuneration in full, and shall not deduct or delay the wages of workers without reason. On October 25, 2021, the procuratorate supported 32 migrant workers to file a lawsuit in Liuhe District Court.
In the course of litigation, both parties reached a mediation agreement, and the court made a civil mediation. After that, the company was still unable to repay. Liuhe District Procuratorate continued to support migrant workers to participate in the implementation of the settlement work. With the joint efforts of the procuratorate and the court, Zhao and other employees reached an implementation settlement agreement with the company in stages. On December 26, 2021, the company paid the first payment according to the agreement.
People’s Daily learned that this case was selected into the Catalogue of Typical Cases of Jiangsu Provincial Procuratorial Organs’ Safeguarding the Wage Payment of Migrant Workers. According to the relevant person in charge of the prosecution, this case is typical in the process of helping migrant workers to ask for wages, which can not only support them to file a lawsuit with the people’s court, but also support them to apply to the people’s court for enforcement, and strive to achieve the case. While safeguarding the legitimate rights and interests of migrant workers, we should fully consider the practical difficulties of private enterprises, promote litigation mediation and execution reconciliation, and serve to ensure the healthy development of private enterprises.
"On the one hand, Jiangsu Provincial Procuratorate punishes malicious crimes of unpaid wages in accordance with the law and resolutely safeguards the legitimate rights and interests of migrant workers. On the other hand, it actively performs its civil administrative procuratorial function and fully supports the solution of migrant workers’ wage problems. At the same time, it strengthens internal and external cooperation and forms a joint effort." Zhou Hexing, director of the Sixth Procuratorial Department of the Jiangsu Provincial Procuratorate, said that in 2021, the procuratorial organs in the province handled a total of 4,194 cases involving migrant workers’ wages, helping to recover about 187 million yuan in labor remuneration. Among them, 58 criminal prosecutions were filed, 3,748 civil support prosecutions were filed, and 27 procuratorial suggestions were issued to administrative organs.
"The cases that reached the repayment agreement were basically cleared before the Spring Festival"
"In 2021, the province’s public security organs successively organized a special campaign to deepen the crackdown on forced intellectual disabilities and malicious unpaid wages, as well as a 100-day attack on crimes of refusing to pay labor remuneration. A total of 195 cases of refusing to pay labor remuneration were filed for investigation, including 4 key cases supervised by the Ministry of Public Security, 13 cases supervised by provincial offices, and 123 suspects were arrested." Li Hongzhou, deputy head of the Public Security Corps of the Jiangsu Provincial Public Security Department and detachment leader of the patrol special police detachment, said, here, we are telling those "black-hearted bosses" who refuse to pay their labor remuneration and escape, not to have any luck, and to surrender to the public security organs as soon as possible and strive for leniency. At the same time, it also appeals to the broad masses of people to complain and report to the public security organs and labor inspection departments in time when they encounter related problems, and safeguard their legitimate rights and interests according to law.
At present, there are only about two weeks before the Spring Festival, and the payment of wages for migrant workers has entered a critical stage. In the next step, how can we fight the battle against wage arrears in winter, so that migrant workers who have worked hard for one year can get their wages and return home for the New Year? Zhang Zhiling, deputy director of the Office of the Leading Group for the Eradication of Wage Arrears for Migrant Workers in Jiangsu Province and director of the Labor and Social Security Supervision Bureau of the Provincial People’s Social Welfare Department, said that Jiangsu will do its best to clear the arrears before the Spring Festival, pay close attention to the verified problem of migrant workers’ wages, implement special personnel to track them, and reverse the wage payment nodes to urge the unpaid subjects to pay off as soon as possible. "For cases that only pay part of their wages or reach a repayment agreement, we will pay close attention to the implementation and ensure that they are basically cleared before the Spring Festival."
In addition, Jiangsu will continue to investigate and crack down on wage arrears. Strictly implement the mechanism of first asking, first handling and quick checking, and comprehensively improve the quality and efficiency of the national wage clue reflection platform and the provincial reporting and complaint platform to meet the needs of labor rights protection. Actively promote the "double assignment" between the human and social departments and the competent departments of wage arrears cases, strengthen departmental cooperation, and jointly handle them quickly to promote the rapid resolution of wage arrears. We will intensify the joint punishment of administrative and judicial linkage and unpaid wages and dishonesty, and punish malicious unpaid wages according to law. To take illegal means to ask for wages of migrant workers or to ask for project funds in the name of arrears of wages of migrant workers, timely notify the public security organs to deal with them according to law.
"At present, the Office of the Provincial Leading Group has deployed capable personnel, organized a supervision team to conduct full coverage and whole-process inspection of the work of eradicating wage arrears in 13 districts and cities, and urged the implementation of the territorial responsibility of eradicating wage arrears and the main responsibility of wage payment. Starting next week, we will implement a daily scheduling system to inform the progress of various places in time to ensure the implementation of work tasks. Give full play to the role of the "baton" of special assessment, innovate assessment methods, conduct pressure step by step, and compact responsibilities layer by layer. " Zhang Zhiling said that to improve the long-term mechanism for the treatment of unpaid wages, we should also strengthen the construction of a long-term mechanism for the protection of wage payment, and further standardize the implementation rules of special wage accounts for migrant workers, wage deposits, joint punishment for unpaid wages and dishonesty, and tighten the "cage" of the system for preventing and treating owed wages.

Viewing the Tianhe River on July 7th: the romantic star party in the first autumn.

In July of the lunar calendar, summer turns to autumn.

Shuowen explains "seven, the righteousness of yang"; In the hexagrams of the Book of Changes, the number "seven" means "repeat" and "return": "repeat the Tao and return in seven days." Xu Zheng’s "Three-Five Calendar" in the Han Dynasty stated: "The number starts from one, stands at three, becomes five, is seven, and is nine." It is recorded in History of Han Dynasty: "Seven things are the beginning of man in the four seasons of heaven and earth". In the concept of time of the early people, the double "seven" overlapped, which was given a mysterious and special meaning.

There are many nicknames for "July 7th" festivals, such as "First Autumn, Week, Fairy Festival, Qi Festival, Luo Zhi Festival, Qiaori Festival, Qiaoqiao Festival" and so on. The name of "the first autumn is a beautiful evening" originated from the first solar term in autumn-beginning of autumn Duoban, and the autumn harvest is about to start after beginning of autumn. Xie Lingyun’s Poem of Chanting for Cows and Girls on Tanabata describes: "The fire died in the first autumn festival, and the new bright string and the moon and the evening. The moon string illuminates the household, and the autumn wind enters the gap. " As the saying goes, "On July 7th, pinch the grain to eat" and "On July 7th, bask in Gu Mi", at this festival, farmers should not only be grateful for the first harvest in the first autumn, but also make prayers for the bumper harvest in the big autumn, which is extremely sincere.

"July 7th" is closely related to the theme of silk, silk and textile, so it is called "Luo Zhi Festival" and "Qi Festival", which is related to the star god of the main textile-Weaver Girl. In the Southern Dynasties, Liang Wudi’s "Qixi" poem says: "A wonderful meeting is not a wonderful festival, but a good year." Xia Wanchun, a Ming Dynasty poet, also mentioned in the fifth poem "Autumn": "Ritual is not an auspicious festival, but a wonderful meeting is a cool evening." The Qing Dynasty’s "Yuan Jian lei Han, at the age of seven July" stated: "Qi Festival is also the festival of Luo Zhi in the evening." In addition, the "Begging for Clever Skills Festival and Needle-piercing Festival" are named after the Chinese Valentine’s Day custom, which shows the colorful folk activities of this ancient festival.

First, the worship of stars and the legend of Niu Nv

"July 7th, watching the Milky Way". The ancients who pursued order "looked up at astronomy and looked down at geography", and planned the stars in the sky in an orderly way, which was called "dividing the stars" and "dividing the fields". Zhang Heng, an astronomer in the Eastern Han Dynasty, said in Lingxian: "Stars are born in the earth, refined in the sky, and ranked in the wrong place, each with its own genus. ….. In the wild, like things, like officials in the DPRK, like things in people, so prepare. " This simple view of nature and cosmology holds that there is a "correspondence between heaven and man" between the eternal starry sky and the world. Our ancestors accumulated abundant astrological knowledge. As early as the Warring States Period, the complete names of the 28 stars appeared. There is a star map on the surface of the lacquer box cover excavated from the tomb of Zeng Houyi in Hubei Province, showing the stars in the sky. Beidou is a symbol of the northern sky, while Twenty-eight Nights are circulating in the southern sky.

The ancients measured the seasons by observing the positions of the stars. "Da Dai Li Xia Xiaozheng" notes: "Han case households. Han is also a river. The case is also the case, and the direct household is also right. " It means that the Milky Way rotates in the night sky, and in July, the Milky Way just stands vertically north and south. The window door faces south, and the Milky Way just stands upright in the doors and windows. "Poetry, Elegance, Yunhan" says: "Mourning for the Yunhan, Zhao returns to the sky." It also points out the celestial law of the wide and bright galaxy "running" in the night sky.

"To the west of Tianhe, there are bright stars", called "Cowherd Star"; "East of the Tianhe River, there are stars slightly", which is called "Vega". The bright binary stars are separated on both sides of the Milky Way. There are six Altair stars in the southeast of Altair, which are like the outline of a horn; In the southeast of Vega, there are four fading stars, which form a quadrilateral like a loom, so they are aptly named after the binary stars with the most simple image in the world. The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl perform their respective duties. The Historical Records of Justice says, "The Altair is unknown, and the cows in the world will die of plague." It is also stated: "Weaver Samsung is mainly engaged in fruits, silks and treasures." "(Samsung) is dark and micro, and the female workers in the world are abolished; Clear, rational. The big star is angry and angular, and the cloth is expensive; If you don’t see it, you will start. " It can be seen that it plays a vital role in farming society.

Altair and Vega

Although the binary stars look at the river every other day, the wise ancients observed that in the first autumn of July in the lunar calendar, the distance between the two stars is the closest. "If you fall, you will be a weaver girl, and you will be seven times a day." Xiaoya Dadong accurately describes the change of Vega seven times a day; "Xia Xiaozheng" also says that "in early July, the weaver girl is heading east". Pushing the window in the night sky, looking up at Yinhan, the visual intuition provides an endless source of inspiration for the generation of the fairy tale "Cowherd and Weaver Girl, Tianhe Phase".

The myth of "Cowherd and Weaver Girl" was formed about the pre-Qin period, and its lower limit will not be later than the late Warring States period. In the chapter "Take a Wife" of the Japanese Book unearthed in Yunmeng Sleeping Tiger Land, there has been a description of the marriage of the cowherd and the weaver girl. During the Han Dynasty, the "Legend of Cowgirl" was about to take shape. "History of Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty" once recorded that there are two statues of Petunia and Weaver Girl in Kunming Pool, "There are two stone men in Kunming Pool. Set up a morning glory and a weaver girl in the pool to look like the Tianhe River. " Ban Gu’s "Xidu Fu" and Zhang Heng’s "Xijing Fu" all describe this. The cowherd and the weaver girl in the Han Dynasty stone reliefs are mostly presented as ordinary farmers and peasant women, which is a reflection of the natural economic model of "men plowing and women weaving" in the agricultural society at that time. The portrait of the top of the sarcophagus excavated in Xinsheng, Pixian County, Sichuan Province, is engraved with the portraits of "Dragon and Tiger" and "Cowherd and Weaver Girl". Cowherd holding a cow, struggling to move forward, while Weaver girl holding a shuttle, is anxiously waiting for the arrival of Cowherd.

In 1973, the sarcophagus cover was unearthed in Xinsheng Township, Pixian County, Sichuan Province. The picture above shows Qinglong and Baihu holding the jade, and the picture below shows the cowherd and weaver girl.

"All the way Altair, JiaoJiaoHe han female. Fine hands, make a loom. All day long, there is no chapter, and tears are like rain. The river is clear and shallow, how much difference does it make? Ying Ying Yi Shui, the pulse is speechless. " This poem Nineteen Ancient Poems by Han Yuefu puts the suffering of the lovesickness of cows and girls in a long farewell period, which indicates that the story plot of the cowherd and the weaver girl has tended to be complete and stereotyped. The story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, which entered the gradual period, was added with more social factors that caused the separation between the cow and the girl and the week, and its symbolic significance was more prominent. For example, in the Southern Dynasties, Liang Yinyun wrote in his Novel: "To the east of the Tianhe River, there is a weaver girl, and the son of the Emperor of Heaven is also there. Every year, the loom labors, weaving into a brocade dress, and the appearance is too messy. The emperor pitied him for being alone, promised to marry a cowherd in Hexi, and then abandoned weaving after marriage. The Emperor of Heaven was angry and ordered to return to Hedong, but they met once a year. " The patriarchal system represented by the Emperor of Heaven and the moral discipline of persuading farmers and weaving are obvious.

The legend of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl is the result of our ancestors’ personification of natural stars and their naive and magical romantic imagination. Since then, it has experienced a double evolution from deification to secularization, and penetrated into the cultural psychology and way of thinking of the Chinese nation through various channels such as literature, art, customs, religion and morality.

Second, Weaver Girl’s Poetry and Painting and Begging for Cleverness

In the night sky at the turn of summer and autumn in July, Vega rose to the highest point of the year, dazzling. At this time, the weather turned cold, and women were busy spinning and weaving to prepare winter clothes. In the silent night, the weaver who works by the loom can look up and see the bright Vega who is the main weaver, silently making infinite expectations for a happy life.

The identity of the weaver girl is "the grandson of heaven", "the daughter of the emperor of heaven" and "the goddess of weaving" "The History of the Later Han Dynasty and Tian Wenzhi" notes: "Weaver girl, the son of heaven is a true girl." "Historical Records Tianguanshu" says: "Weaver girl, heavenly daughter Sun Ye." "Samsung, at the eastern end of Tianji, is also a goddess." In the Spring and Autumn Period and the Yuan Dynasty, it is also stated: "The weaver girl speaks, the goddess also, and the ready-made clothes stand for discipline, so Qi can become a literary embroidery, which should be heaven." It is recorded in the Book of the New Tang Dynasty, Official Records: "The Weaving and Dyeing Department made a sacrifice on July 7th". The description of Weaver Girl’s appearance in Song Dynasty’s Taiping Guangji is "bright and gorgeous, dazzling, dressed in mysterious clothes, dragging frost."

With the widespread spread of the love story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, the praise of this Weaver Girl God, who is quiet in appearance, diligent in weaving and faithful in emotion, can be seen from the works of art created by painters and poets in past dynasties. The Zhang Ling, a painter of the Ming Dynasty, painted the Weaver Girl in the Shanghai Museum. In the picture, the Weaver Girl has a plump figure, a bun scarf on her head, a long silk on her shoulders, and a loom in her hand. She looks up and her eyes are far-sighted, and she seems eager to meet her relatives. Towels and silks are flowing with the wind, and the feet gradually blur into clouds and smoke, leaving no background, just like a weaver girl floating in the boundless sky. "The spirit paints a figure, and the crown is mysterious, and all kinds of things are halal, and there is no air of inferiority." As the commentary said, Zhang Ling painted a goddess who is not greedy for the heavenly palace, but yearns for the earthly life infinitely, and her meaning is also continuous, and her feelings are also eager, and there is no air of inferiority.

Ming Zhang Ling’s "The Weaver Girl" was collected in Shanghai Museum.

Vega has a variety of clergy, in charge of textiles, melons and fruits, treasures, fertility, child care, marriage and so on. Therefore, people pay homage to her on Tanabata, not only begging for "cleverness" and "wisdom", but also begging for wealth, longevity and children. Ge Hong’s Miscellaneous Notes on Xijing in the Eastern Jin Dynasty states that "women in the Han Dynasty often put a seven-hole needle on the Kaijin Building on July 7th, and everyone is Xi Zhi", which is the earliest document about begging for cleverness. Zhou Chu’s "Records of Local Customs" says: "On July 7th, I swept the court at night, gave several banquets, set up preserved wine, scattered fragrant powder, and begged for wealth and longevity in Hegu Weaver Maid. I had no children, so I could only beg for one, but I could not ask for both. Three years was a good thing to say, and I was quite affected by it." In the Southern Dynasties, Liang Zonggu’s Chronicle of the Age of Jingchu also recorded: "July 7th is the night of the gathering of Petunias and Weavers. It’s evening, and other women tie colorful ribbons, wear seven-hole needles, or use gold and silver stones as needles, and old fruits are in court to beg for cleverness. "

"Seeking a clever picture on Qixi Festival" is an important theme of China’s seasonal painting. The earliest existing "Qiqiao Map" was drawn in the Five Dynasties, and developed to the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It has formed a painting mother with high-rise palaces, needles, melons and fruits, and weaver girls. The Qing Dynasty’s "Tanabata Map", which is collected in the Palace Museum, vividly reproduces the scene of Qixi’s begging for cleverness through skillful reeling techniques. The picture is divided into two parts: the sky and the earth. The sky above is vast and quiet. The cowherd rides on the sacred cow, and the Weaver Girl’s long skirt floats. The two ride on Xiangyun, echoing each other from a distance. The picture below shows the liveliness and vitality of the world: in the courtyard hidden by Lvmu, two women are collecting clothes exposed to the sun during the day in a high pavilion; On the right side of the full moon door, a woman carries a basin, as if preparing to throw a needle into the water; There are several cases in the middle of the courtyard, with offerings such as clever fruit on them, and women standing beside them; In the small pavilion on the left, two women raised their arms and raised their heads to pierce the needle on the moon, gazing at each other in silence and showing piety.

The Palace Museum collects the Qing Dynasty silk "Qixi Map"

In the Qing Dynasty, Yao Wenhan’s "Qixi Map" truly shows the grand Qixi activities of the court from three lines: first, the cowherd and the weaver girl meet at the Queqiao Bridge, aiming at cultivating farmers and persuading mulberry, and then through the depiction of the court sacrificial ceremony, it means that the grain is abundant; In the middle of the picture, there is a begging activity. On the steps, there are ladies who serve spider boxes and water bowls. On the platform, there are women who worship needles. On the left side of Qiaolou, there are ladies who raise their hands to the Weaver, and the characters are lifelike. At the front of the lower part of the picture is the lotus pond in full bloom. There are "grinding and drinking music" on the platform and in the courtyard, and the children who are educated in "six arts" are scattered, suggesting the custom of seeking children and raising children on Tanabata.

The Palace Museum houses Yao Wenhan’s Tanabata Axis in Qing Dynasty.

In addition to seeking clever pictures, there are also Qixi poems that describe people’s emotional expressions in detail. Qixi poetry, which originated from the Book of Songs, began in Yuefu, flourished in the Six Dynasties and extended to later generations. "Preface to Mao’s Poems" says: "Poets, the feelings of people’s hearts are shaped by words." The Chinese Valentine’s Day poems are full of profound and rich meanings, including the wanderers’ yearning for women, or the relationship between the monarch and the minister, or the confluence with the folk custom of begging for cleverness, or the biography for the cowherd and the weaver girl. For example, Tang Du Mu’s "The night in day order is as cool as water, lying and watching the morning glory and the weaver star"; Wang Jian’s "watching the stars alone by the river, it is difficult to weave Tencel at night"; Cui Ying’s "Chang ‘an City is like a moon in practice, and every family holds a needle and thread this night"; Quan Deyu’s "family members actually like to open makeup mirrors, and wear needles to worship the nine under the moon"; Lin Jie’s "Every family looks at the autumn moon and wears tens of thousands of red silk" and so on.

When the Weaver Girl met Petunia, she did not forget her duty, but left the needle to the Weaver Girl. The feminine beauty in China’s traditional ideas, such as "ingenuity, diligence, kindness, single-mindedness and faithfulness", is embodied in the Weaver Girl, giving off charming light. However, the nationality, aesthetics and moral sense in the legend of Niu Nv and the poems and paintings on Qixi constantly edify people’s sentiments and enlighten their minds.

Third, crossing the bridge, the black magpie and Qiaozhi promote weaving

1. Wuqiedu Bridge

There are several ways for the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl to meet, such as Star Bridge, Swallow Bridge, Phoenix Extradition, Cars, etc., which show the diversity of folklore evolution, and since the Tang Dynasty, it has tended to be unified in the "Queqiao Meeting". Han Ying Shao’s "Custom Pass" stated that "the weaver girl crossed the river on Tanabata, making the magpie a bridge. According to legend, on the seventh day, the magpie’s head was hungry for no reason, because Liang Yidu also crossed the weaver girl." In the Novel of Liang Yinyun in the Southern Dynasties, it is also said: "On the seventh day of autumn, the magpie’s head was high for no reason. According to legend, the Rihe drum and the Weaver Girl would meet in Hedong, and the Wu Magpie would serve as a beam to cross, so all the hair was taken off." In the Tang Dynasty, it was also recorded in the Korean Department’s "Year of Hua Ji Li": "The weaver girl should cross the river on Tanabata and make the magpie a bridge"; In Song Dynasty, Luo Yuan’s "Er Ya Yi" also had "seven days involved in autumn, and the magpies were all in the same category for no reason. According to legend, it is thought that the river drum and the weaver girl will meet in Handong, and the black magpie will serve as a beam to cross, so the hair will be taken off.

The pastel figures of Jingdezhen official kiln collected in Beijing Art Museum.

There are two reasons why the black magpie can enter the "Legend of Cow and Girl" and become an important medium for meeting. First, the natural attributes of birds, magpies are good at building nests and bridges. Zhang Hua’s "Natural History" in the Western Jin Dynasty says: "The opening of the magpie nest is too old. This is not wisdom, so it is natural." In Duan Chengshi’s "Youyang Miscellaneous Feathers" in the Tang Dynasty, it was stated: "There must be beams in the magpies’ nests … two magpies build nests, and the city holds a piece of wood like a pen tube, which is more than a foot long and is in the nest." It is said that magpies are familiar with the phenomena of yin and yang and are good at bridging. In addition, magpies fly in groups, gather together and have a persistent sense of responsibility. Xu Mian’s "Que Fu" in the Liang Dynasty says: "There are many kinds of wings, and they fly in groups. If it is a cloud, it will be forgotten. " Sui Wei Lian’s "The Garden Tree has a Nest and a Magpie Play to chant it" states: "The fear of jade is always terrible, and the ability to fill the river is already poor … It should arrive in the morning and evening, and it is easy to empty it." Magpies fly like clouds, moving mountains and filling rivers, showing the firm strength and momentum to overcome all difficulties for the "meeting of cows and girls" and playing the role of group heroes.

Secondly, from the cultural image, magpie is a symbol of "good omen, lovesickness and happiness". Tang Dynasty’s "The Legacy of Kaiyuan Tianbao" said: "When people are at home, they all think that the sound of magpies is a good omen, so it is called the good news of Lingque." "Huai Nan Zi Wan Bi Shu" says: "The magpie brain is lovesick." Gao Youzhu: "Take one male and one female magpie brain, burn it in the road, and drink it in the wine every day, which is lovesick." Because magpies are good at building nests, the so-called "allowing family members to be upright and living in a magpie’s nest" has become synonymous with family happiness. In the Book of Songs Zhaonan, it is repeatedly sung: "Wei Que has a nest, Wei Hong lives in it, and his son returns to it, and a hundred taels of it." Taking the magpie nest as a comparison, this paper describes the warm scene of a woman’s wedding reception, and further extends the happy vision of a woman returning to her husband’s room and a happy family.

The short-term meeting between Cowherd and Weaver Girl once a year breaks away from the restrictions of "God and Man" and "Time and Space", which is a testimony and praise to their courage to pursue freedom, loyalty and firm belief in love, and thus becomes a representative symbol of the cultural spirit of Qixi Festival.

Step 2 be clever and promote weaving

Tang Song Zhiwen mentioned two kinds of clever insects in Qixi Poem, one is cricket (promoting weaving), and the other is spider (playing). The poem says, "Stop to borrow crickets, and keep clever spiders."

Crickets are also called "promoting weaving, tending weaving, urging weaving, and laying hens". Cui Bao, a Jin native, said in Notes on Ancient and Modern Times: "Promoting weaving is a speculation, which means that its voice is as urgent as weaving." Notes in "Yi Shu of Poetry": "(Cricket) You call it interesting weaving, and the words made by the supervisor are also". Crickets sing like the sound of weaving on a loom, rising and falling, as if urging the weaver shuttle to weave quickly, thus giving rise to the name "promoting weaving". "In June, the pheasant (cricket) vibrates its feathers, in July, it is in the wild, in August, in September, and in October, the cricket enters my bed." The Book of Songs describes vividly the habits and characteristics of crickets as autumn insects in different seasons. Crickets sing in autumn in July, urging women who undertake the textile mission to work hard on weaving and sewing red, and raise clothes for changing seasons to prepare for the need of winter clothes.

Mu Yi’s Rongpo Promotes Weaving in the Palace Museum in Taipei

Spiders used to be called "clams" and "playful". The sounds of "playful" and "happy" are harmonious, which means auspicious and festive. Han Liu Xin said in Miscellanies of Xijing: "Dry magpies make noise while pedestrians arrive, spiders gather and everything is happy." Tang Quan Deyu also said in "The Theory of Xi Zheng": "I am happy when I am playing." In addition to good omen, spiders are good at weaving webs to catch flying insects, which is also considered as a symbol of cleverness. For example, in Lun Heng, it is said: "Spiders spin webs to catch flying insects, so can people use them safely?" Hong Shi has a poem of "writing a seal on a cold wall in a snail’s writing, and the spider is clever at weaving silk on the eaves", and Su Shi also has a poem of "painting a spider on the eaves to make a web, and a silver magpie to make a bridge".

"The Legacy of Kaiyuan Tianbao" records the details of catching spiders and begging for cleverness in the Tang Palace: "Every night from July 7 to the seventh, when the emperor and the imperial concubine are having a banquet in Huaqing Palace, the ladies-in-waiting Chen Gua Hua Jiu is listed in the court, asking for favor from the cowherd and the weaver girl. They also catch spiders and close them in small boxes until dawn, depending on the sparse cobwebs, thinking that they are clever, and the dense ones speak more skillfully, and the sparse ones speak less skillfully, which is also effective for the people. " Song Mengyuan’s "Dream of China in Tokyo" also recorded that in the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty, in July every year, "on the sixth and seventh nights of the first lunar month, your family made many colorful buildings in the court, which was called the Qiaoqiao Building … Women looked at the moon and put needles in it, or put spiders in it, and looked at it the next day. If the net was round, it was called Qiaoqiao Building." Zong Yi’s Chronicle of Jingchu’s Age also says: "Chen Gua is in the court, and Xi Subnet is on the melon, so he thinks it is appropriate." Using the density of spiders’ webs to predict the skillful weaving skills of young girls in the future, it has also been followed since the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

In the legend of Qixi, the cultural images of animals and insects such as magpies, weaving promoters and spiders are in harmony with the splendid Milky Way, which not only truly reflects the ancestors’ pursuit of "being wise and skillful", but also truly reflects the social characteristics of ancient China, which valued agriculture and weaving.

IV. Conclusion

"Thin clouds are clever, flying stars spread hate", but as long as "the golden wind and the jade dew meet, they will win countless times in the world", which is the best explanation of the true meaning of the legend of love between cows and girls by the poet Qin Guan-in the season of golden autumn wind and glittering and translucent dew, only one meeting is better than countless reunions in the world. The legendary story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl embodies the life view, love view and naturalistic world view of China ancestors who pursued perfection. "Guanzi Light and Heavy Armor" said: "If a farmer does not plow, the people may be hungry for it; If a woman does not knit, the people may be cold. " The legend of Cowherd and Weaver Girl, which is born out of the basic mode of agricultural production structure, has been a symbol of Chinese agricultural workers since its birth, reflecting the social forms and consciousness in different historical stages, and is the condensation of Chinese civilized agricultural culture, national consciousness and folk psychology.

On May 20, 2006, Chinese Valentine’s Day, together with five other traditional festivals, was included in the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage list by the State Council. In 2008, "The Legend of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl" was successfully included in the second batch of national intangible cultural heritage lists; In addition, the Xihe Qiqiao Festival in Gansu Province, the Little Man’s (Children’s) Festival in Shitang, Wenling, Zhejiang Province, the Seventh Sister’s Birthday in Tianhe and other districts in Guangzhou, the Tianhe landscape group in Yunxi, Hubei Province, and the unique Chinese Valentine’s Day customs of ethnic minorities are constantly being explored, protected, restored and reconstructed. The Qixi Festival culture is deeply rooted in the spiritual fertile soil of the Chinese nation, which is brave in exploration and good at creation. It expresses the national cultural identity that attaches importance to nature and harmony, just like the shining stars in the vast vault, which are radiant and immortal.

Two Ukrainian States prohibit the ruling party from activities, and the opposition demonstrations continue or cause the country to split.

The political crisis in Ukraine has recently spread. The drastic compromise proposed by Ukrainian President Yanukovych to the opposition leaders on the 24th has not been accepted, and the violence in the capital Kiev continues. In the midwest, the stronghold of the opposition, protesters are attacking local governments, and two states controlled by neo-Nazi parties even prohibit the ruling party and communist party from carrying out any activities.

The opposition has still not accepted reconciliation.

On January 24, local time, Ukrainian President Yanukovych proposed a compromise plan to the opposition, promising to amend the new bill restricting public assembly that detonated this large-scale riot, and invited the opposition to become the prime minister of the government, and promised to amend the constitution and pardon the arrested radicals. This plan was rejected by the opposition on the same day.

On the evening of 26th, Yanukovych once again made unprecedented concessions: he suggested that Yashenuk, leader of the opposition Motherland Party, should be the prime minister, and Krichko, leader of the strike party, should be the deputy prime minister in charge of humanities issues. However, the opposition responded indifferently. Yazenuk said that he was not excited by Yanukovych’s suggestion that he lead the government. He stressed that at present, Ukraine is on the verge of bankruptcy, the national treasury is in deficit, and the national leadership wants to evade its responsibilities. Of course, we have to take responsibility for the fate of the country, but we have our own conditions: including signing an agreement with the European Union, releasing all political prisoners and restoring the 2004 Ukrainian Constitution.

Ukrainian Prime Minister Azarov expressed his understanding of the President’s statement on 26th, and said that if his resignation can help to resolve the conflict, he will not resign immediately. However, the Ukrainian ruling party "regional party" expressed doubts about whether the opposition has the ability to lead the government. Lukjanov, a member of the regional party, said that Yashenuk was once a member of the government and served as a foreign minister, but he needed to make a correct assessment of whether he had the ability to manage the national economy, because "it is important for the post of Prime Minister to show his working ability, not his political ambition".

On 25th, Ukrainian President Yanukovych (center on the left) negotiated with opposition leaders Yazenuk and Krichko.

At present, the situation in Ukraine is still very tense, and large-scale protests and demonstrations continue in the capital Kiev. On the 26th, demonstrators in Kiev occupied a building that had previously been used as a base by special police forces.

The Ukrainian Ministry of Internal Affairs said in a statement that when a small group of policemen entered the "Ukrainian House" for a rest on the 25th, demonstrators blocked the building and "tried to stir up trouble". On the 26th, all the police evacuated from the building.

The Ukrainian Ministry of the Interior said in a statement that the police withdrew from the "Ukrainian House" to avoid further escalation of the situation. The purpose of the demonstrators is to detain the police and use them as a bargaining chip in exchange for the arrested demonstrators. The statement said that the police did not yield to provocation, exercised restraint and did not create any opportunities for the situation to escalate.

Kritchenko, the leader of the demonstration and world champion, was at the scene. He said that the demonstrators had completed their task and occupied the "Ukrainian House" without bloodshed.

On the morning of 26th, a large number of demonstrators threw molotov cocktails and stones at the Ukrainian government parliament building, and the police responded with tear gas.

On the 25th, in Kiev, the capital, the opposition threw molotov cocktails at the police with homemade slingshots.

The situation of regional confrontation is worrying

In addition to Kiev, the capital, increasingly serious demonstrations are taking place in various local cities in Ukraine, and the opposition in these cities is seizing government organs. On the 25th, the Duma Building in Poltava, the government buildings in Chernovce and Vinica were all under the control of the opposition.

In addition, in Ivano-Frankov oblast and Ternopol oblast, the state parliaments have decided to ban the activities of the Ukrainian ruling party and communist party in the region and use their symbols.

These demonstration States are located in the central and western Ukraine, which is the base camp of the Ukrainian opposition. The eastern and western regions of Ukraine are now severely divided. The people in the western region have always been pro-European, while the eastern region is pro-Russian. There are great differences between the eastern and western regions in history, religion, culture and economy.

The central and western Ukraine is the opposition base camp. In the picture, red is the state where government agencies have been occupied by the opposition, and pink is the state that has been hit.

Under the current centralized system in Ukraine, the chief executives of all 27 states are appointed by President Yanukovych. Therefore, in the recent political confrontation, protests such as encircling the government have appeared in many areas in the west. Many people in eastern Donetsk and other regions took to the streets to express their support for the government.

Ivano-Frankov oblast and Ternopol oblast are the sphere of influence of Ukrainian far-right opposition swoboda Party. Here, this neo-Nazi party can get at least 30% of the votes and control the local parliament, while Yanukovych’s regional party has only single-digit support rate.

Many observers worry that the continuous confrontation may aggravate the rift between the eastern and western parts of Ukraine and even cause the country to split.

The Minister of Interior of Ivano-Frankov oblast walked out of the government building and bowed to the demonstrators. Demonstrators in western Ukraine have attacked local governments for several days, and the police still exercise restraint.

Russian expert: the west supports neo-Nazis

In the face of the deteriorating situation in Ukraine, Makhley, a communication academician of the Russian Geopolitical Research Institute, told reporters that the Ukrainian opposition is trying to "coup" and the behavior of the demonstrators has nothing to do with the word "peace". They have become real extremists, throwing stones, burning bottles, beating and hijacking police and occupying state institutions, all of which are mob acts. He stressed that at present, the Ukrainian government is trying to find out how much the opposition leaders control the protesters in the negotiations with the opposition, but judging from the crazy behavior of the demonstrators on the current TV screen, the opposition leaders have lost control over the protesters.

So, who will dominate the situation in Ukraine? Petrovsky, an academician of the Russian Academy of Military Sciences, believes that Russia’s current position is clear and consistent, that is, to remain neutral and ask the outside world not to interfere in Uzbekistan’s internal affairs. Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov said in an interview with the Russian "Saturday News" program on the 25th that Moscow warned the United States not to intervene in Ukraine’s internal affairs. Lavrov said at the Syrian peace conference held in Geneva: "I remind Kerry that the most important thing at present is not to interfere in Ukraine’s internal affairs and avoid making any remarks that will only aggravate the tension. I hope he can listen to me. " Lavrov’s conversations with Ashton, the EU’s High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, and Italian Foreign Minister Bonino also touched on the Ukrainian issue. He said: "It is important that the outside world should not make an appeal that is understood as encouraging by any opposition, especially rampant militants."

The Moscow Times published yesterday Sergei &bull, Vice President of plekhanov University of Economics; Markov’s article severely accuses the European Union and other western forces of supporting the neo-Nazi swoboda Party and inciting Ukrainian riots. The full text is compiled as follows:

 

The protests in Ukraine gave great encouragement to European politicians, many of whom went to Kiev to give speeches to the jubilant masses. The demonstration quickly evolved into an attempt to launch another "color revolution" in an attempt to overthrow the current Ukrainian President Yanukovych.

The protests in Ukraine have reflected the decline of European politics, not the strength. After all, when the EU implemented the anti-Russian "Eastern Partnership" plan and handed over the power to irresponsible politicians in the Baltic countries, the EU lost control of the plan.

On the 25th, in Kiev, the capital of Ukraine, demonstrators confronted the police.

On the 25th, in Kiev, the capital of Ukraine, demonstrators confronted the police.

Secondly, the anti-government demonstrations in Ukraine also highlighted the weakness of the EU economy. The EU’s Association Agreement failed to attract Ukraine enough. In addition, signing this agreement may bring billions of economic losses to Ukraine. However, when Kiev asked the EU for compensation, Brussels said that it could do nothing about such a necessary fund.

Third, the political turmoil in Ukraine will inevitably expose Europe’s moral weakness. For many years, the EU has been exerting influence on Eastern Europe and Eurasian countries by virtue of its "soft power" and moral authority. The word "Europe" alone indicates a high level of development, thanks to the responsibilities and obligations of laws and regulations, democratic system, excellent education and advanced social welfare system. Although all this still exists today, the EU’s Ukraine policy has made this country doubt the EU’s declared "moral leadership".

The problem began with a long-running debate in the European Union about what benefits the national association agreement could bring to Ukraine. When Yanukovych refused to sign it, Europe became hysterical with the United States, and they threw out numerous assertions that Russia was putting pressure on Ukraine. But in fact, Moscow was restraining itself to the greatest extent.

In fact, it is the EU that has openly interfered in Ukraine’s internal affairs.Although whether or not to sign the agreement is a sovereign issue of Ukraine, which is decided by the President of Ukraine, politicians of EU member states still threaten Kiev that they will be sanctioned if they don’t sign the agreement. In addition, politicians from the European Union and the United States also participated in anti-government rallies in Ukraine to provide support to angry Ukrainians. This is a shameless act that seriously violates the established diplomatic norms.

EU politicians and media urged Ukrainian protesters not to leave Kiev’s central square, and urged the Ukrainian government to give in to the opposition’s demands. However, when the opposition seized buildings, blocked roads and squares, besieged government buildings and organized well-trained fighters to use force against the police, the EU turned a blind eye to these illegal acts. The west wants to retaliate against Russian President Vladimir Putin through this move, but I am deeply worried that this will lead Ukraine to fall into a "civil war" like Syria.

On the 25th, in Chernofsky State, the police resisted the impact of demonstrators in the government building.

On the 25th, in Chernofsky State, the police resisted the impact of demonstrators in the government building.

Swoboda Party, a neo-fascist party in Ukraine, claims to be the successor of the Ukrainian rebels, and the Ukrainian rebels have also cooperated with the Nazis and their SS Galicia branch in the past. Now, swoboda Party is gaining more influence from the protests. So, why do EU politicians "hug" swoboda Party members and their "leaders" warmly — — Oleg • What about Banica?

Many western media call swoboda Party members "nationalists" or, in most cases, "ultra-nationalists". This shameful statement is the most euphemistic expression of swoboda’s open Nazism, and their original name — — The Social Nationalist Party was obviously changed from Adolf • Hitler’s National Socialist Party, or Nazi Party.

Europe’s failure in Ukraine reflects the EU’s inability to formulate realistic policies for the former Soviet Union members.The Russian authorities are trying to cooperate with the EU, but they must also oppose any attempt by the EU to expand its influence in the western border areas of Russia, which will incite even more serious Russian phobia there.

Since the Russian-Georgian war in 2008, the military intervention in Libya, and the recent information war triggered by unfairly labeling Russia as "homophobic", the credibility of the EU in Russia has been repeatedly frustrated. Moreover, fraternizing with Ukrainian neo-fascists can only further weaken the credibility of the EU in the hearts of Russians.

The rift between western and central European countries and Russia, Ukraine and Belarus in eastern Europe is widening, which provides a vivid example of Europe’s weakness and inability to compromise with itself. At present, it is not clear what consequences will be caused by the decline of European morality in the eyes of Russian society. It would be a pity if Russia were to shut out the European political and social model. But if European politicians want to win back the respect of the Russian people, they must take serious measures to restore their moral authority.

Russia, Ukraine and the European Union share a common goal, that is, to build a better Europe, which needs to be achieved through cooperation and consensus, rather than relying on imperial arrogance. Russia hopes to cooperate with the EU to build a better Europe, instead of arguing with the EU because of Ukraine.

"Rebirth" reveals that Nick Cheung Ehan Juan has destroyed the poison and detonated the revenge puzzle

1905 movie network news On August 16th, the film was officially released in national cinemas, and the final preview and poster of the "curtain opening" version were released.

In addition, Ehan Juan followed TuBang a list of second eldest brother, malicious degree upgrade crazy batch again!


It is not difficult to see from the previously released notice that Nick Cheung’s strength plays the dual roles of Gala and Shawang, and he is more disgusted with drugs and firm in revenge. Ehan Juan’s sense of contrast between the just police and the ruthless careerist is also unexpected. In addition, whether it is the multifaceted interpretation of Sandrine Pinna and Ma Yuke, the subtle expressions of Chen Guokun and Gao Jie that are extremely bad, or the real interpretation of Zhang Li’s drug abuse and Jiang Yixuan’s firm eyes in pursuit of justice, all of them lead the audience to deeply "enter the show" and immerse themselves in this ups and downs and exciting journey.
