Business changes of entertainment tycoon Qin brothers: second venture






Tan Hui


  "Everyone mentioned Tan Hui during the start-up, but if you want to be a century-old shop, I hope everyone will only mention Xingmei." As the younger brother of Tan Hui, Qin Hong, the boss of Stellar Group, said so when interviewed by this reporter.


  On July 20th, Stellar International announced that SMIIC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Stellar International, was going to spend HK$ 55 million to win 25 cinemas from Tan Hui, and had signed a letter of intent.


       According to the plan, Stellar Group will abandon the coexistence of several businesses in the past and focus on the film industry.


  And this strategic evolution, the Qin brothers have experienced more than 10 years of struggle.


  The legendary big brother


  Tan Hui seems to be an inextricable link, whether it is the Xingmei Department or the lace-colored "Heaven and Earth".


  According to the industrial and commercial registration data, Beijing Changtai Song and Dance Hall Co., Ltd., the predecessor of "Heaven and Earth", was established in 1993. In May 1997, Changtai Song and Dance Hall was approved by the State Trademark Office to obtain the registered trademarks of "PASSION" and "Heaven and Earth" in both Chinese and English. In September, 1999, the State Trademark Office approved the change of the registrant of the registered trademark to Beijing Changqingtai Catering and Entertainment Co., Ltd. funded by Tan Hui.


  It was in 1999 that Tan Hui took the first step to become a legend. He placed 75% of the shares of "Heaven and Earth" in his Beijing Sino-foreign joint venture Changqingtai Catering and Entertainment Company, with a registered industrial and commercial investment of 1.95 million US dollars. After the renovation, the "Heaven on Earth" changed from an old nightclub to a KTV-style business structure, and the consumption standard also soared.


  According to people familiar with the matter, when the "Heaven and Earth" was light, the daily water recorded reached more than 300,000. It is estimated that the annual profit of "Heaven on Earth" is at least 20-30 million yuan.


  Such a stable cash flow gave birth to Tan Hui’s "Zhuojing Department", and at the same time, it also completed Tan Hui’s capital accumulation from "stubborn master" to capital player.


  In addition, the high-end communication field of "Heaven and Earth" has brought a large number of powerful people to Tan Hui. In the case of Zhang Enzhao, the former president of China Construction Bank, the prosecution’s indictment disclosed such details: In May 2002, Zhang Enzhao accepted $10,000 from Tan Hui for the first time in the "Heaven and Earth" parking lot, and after that, he went through various experiences and got a loan of 650 million yuan. The acquaintance with Li Peiying, chairman of the Capital Airport, is exactly the same.


  In the face of the media, the Qin brothers did not deny that they once owned "heaven and earth", but stressed that "they were transferred out five years ago".


  However, it was the creation of "heaven and earth" five years ago that made Tan Hui, the legendary big shot, succeed in his future fate.


  In contrast, although Tan Hui’s "business childhood" is not well known by the outside world, it has some primitive accumulated strength.


  In August, 1997, Tan Hui cooperated with his brother Qin Hong to establish Chongqing Changfeng Communication, invested in 800Z mobile communication (the predecessor of CDMA), and began to enter the telecommunications industry.


  After Tan Hui controlled "Heaven and Earth" for one year, with the annual profit of 20-30 million yuan, in 2000, it invested in Chongqing Changfeng Communication (000892.SZ), the first capital platform in China. At the same time, it has acquired an optical fiber backbone network covering the whole country, and established a broadband metropolitan area network covering the whole province in Sichuan, Chongqing, Hubei and Jiangsu. A broadband network platform covering the whole network and accessing four provinces was formed.


  After that, in 2001, the telecommunications map of Tan Hui took shape after seven years of business. In order to build the content platform of Changfeng Communication, connect with the network terminal users of Changfeng Communication, and establish the industrial model of "Telecom+Media+Technology", Zhuojing Investment and Changfeng Communication jointly established Xingmei Media Group Co., Ltd. The "Xingmei Department" was born.

       ride on a horse to enclose


  With money and "capital strength" in 2002, Tan Hui’s business expansion was extremely exciting.


  In October of that year, Tan Hui served as the chairman of Changfeng Communication, and began to invest in large-scale acquisition of content companies and media assets. Its subsidiaries include more than a dozen companies including Beijing Huaxia Culture Communication Company, China Film Stellar Cinema Co., Ltd., Feiteng Film and Television Base, Stellar Film and Television Culture Co., Ltd., Stellar Digital Media Co., Ltd., Stellar Shanghai Zhonglu Culture Co., Ltd. and Instek Video Technology Co., Ltd. in China Electric Film Archive.


 The industrial model of "telecommunications+media+technology" has made Stellar Group a dark horse in the industry for a while, and its M&A speed and business model have attracted attention.


  In 2003, Tan Hui launched its capital market. In order to integrate overseas entertainment content and lay out Hong Kong’s capital platform, it acquired Oriental Charm (00198.HK, later renamed as "Stellar International"), Jingqi Publishing Group (8010.HK, later renamed as "Stellar Publishing") and mobile advertising (8036.HK) in.


  As a result, the Qin brothers controlled four listed companies, and an industrial structure with capital as the leader, new media as the core and content as the support was formed.


  However, the expansion of the Qin brothers has not stopped. In 2003, through the acquisition and publication of the banner, it controlled Cheng Bao, the oldest Chinese newspaper in Hong Kong. At the same time, it acquired Sunshine Satellite TV and established a content production and broadcasting platform. In July of that year, the first digital entertainment channel in China was launched in cooperation with Fujian Cable TV Network. In September, it signed a strategic agreement with China Telecom and became one of the first 13 strategic partners of China Telecom’s "Connected Star".


  In 2004, relying on Stellar International (00198.HK), Tan Hui acquired the chain business of Internet cafes in Sichuan, and used the group resources to acquire Hunan Hunan Computer (SZ000748) to lay out the digital terminal equipment industry.


  It has been impossible to verify the views of the Qin brothers on Xingmei Group at that time. However, when Qin Hong reviewed the original situation of Stellar Group to our reporter, he said, "The stall is too big, which puts great pressure on management, manpower and capital."


  In fact, around 2004, due to the rapid expansion, Stellar Group has owned 17 companies of various types. At the same time, it has formed the capital platforms of four or five listed companies with Zhuojing Capital as the investment link, and the scale of fixed assets has reached nearly 2 billion yuan.


  However, Stellar Group’s cash flow is facing torture. Qin Hong clearly remembers that "the debt ratio of the group was very high at that time". And this pointed to the pain of Xingmei Group’s expansion at that time.


  Not surprisingly, Tan Hui still defined 2005 as the expansion year in the brief history of his enterprise.


  At that time, Tan Hui bought Great Wall Broadband, with the intention of connecting the huge user base of Great Wall Broadband with Xingmei content industry and establishing an aircraft carrier giant of telecommunications media. When negotiating with CITIC Group and Great Wall Group (300089, Share Bar), the shareholders of Great Wall Broadband, the case of Zhang Enzhao, the president of China Construction Bank, involved Tan Hui.


  Although it was later unscathed, Stellar Group and its related subsidiaries were affected one after another. In 2005, Stellar began to divest non-performing assets on a large scale, repay bank debts, sell Sunshine TV and reorganize Changfeng Communication.


  Also in 2005, Tan Hui went through the relevant legal procedures and officially withdrew from "Heaven and Earth".


  It is impossible to find out from the hidden known information whether quitting the "Tianshan Human World" helped Tan Hui. However, perhaps because of his sensitivity, in the case of Li Peiying, the chairman of the Capital Airport in 2009, he turned the tables again.

       Difficult reorganization


  However, the impact of such twists and turns on this entertainment tycoon is obvious.


  Qin Hong recalled, "trapped by the negative influence at that time, from 2005 to 2009, we have been in the process of restructuring."


  In addition to retiring from Changfeng Communication, Sunshine Satellite TV and "Heaven and Earth" in 2005, in 2009, Tan Hui withdrew from Xingmei Union and was taken over by Du Huikai, the son-in-law of Zheng Yutong, Chairman of New World (600628, Share Bar) Group. In 2009, Tan Hui signed an agreement with Yang Jiacheng to withdraw from Chengbao.


       To be exact, Stellar Group has spun off almost all industries except the film industry.


  In fact, Tan Hui has handed over the main business of Stellar Group to Qin Hong. Qin Hong is now the chairman of Stellar Group. At the same time, in March this year, Tan Hui increased his shareholding in Stellar International to 64.23% as a major shareholder. Almost at the same time, Wang Kui-cheng gave the position of chairman of Stellar International Board of Directors to Qin Hong.


  When describing the whole structure of Stellar Group, Qin Hong said, "Listed companies are the platform for us to operate the whole strategy. Therefore, first of all, after four years of difficult resumption of trading, it was finally realized in late 2009."


  Regarding focusing on the film industry, Qin Hong explained to our reporter, "From a realistic perspective, our Stellar Media was established for digital media, and then it entered the traditional media. By 2005, when we sorted out the company’s assets, we felt that the film sector was relatively complete. At that time, as a pioneer, Stellar Media has always been the first and second cinema in China and has been in this position. "


  According to relevant information, in 2009, the box office market of the whole movie reached 6.3 billion yuan, and from the overall income of the whole industry, according to the industry practice of 1:3, all movie-related market plates reached 20 billion yuan.


  In Qin Hong’s view, the film industry in the cultural industry, in terms of economic benefits, is the last large undeveloped industry that can be seen at present. The data shows that the box office of the film industry keeps growing by 30% every year.

  start a new undertaking


  "No matter how the outside world understands it, I prefer to regard this transformation of Stellar Group as a second venture." Qin Hong said, "And this idea of transforming the film industry is also the result of my discussion with Tan Hui."


  Qin Hong’s film industry includes film production, cinema distribution, cinema construction and management, and film and television base development.


  In January, 2010, Tan Hui injected capital into Stellar International with the gesture of "returning the carbine". According to the announcement, the company issued a convertible note with a principal amount of HK$ 100 million to its major shareholder, Tan Hui, and the net proceeds of HK$ 99 million were used as funds for possible future investments and general working capital.


  As a result, Tan Hui and Smil (Strategic Media International, a major shareholder affiliated company) hold 59.41% of the company’s equity. If all convertible notes are converted, the total shareholding will increase to 64.23%.


  At the same time, Stellar Group controlled by the Qin brothers injected high-quality assets into Stellar International. At the end of June, Stellar International announced that Stellar International would acquire its Admiral Team at a cost of about HK$ 1.2 billion, including issuing HK$ 480 million convertible notes and about 2.44 billion shares to Tan Hui. The company already owns two companies, GDL and SMIIC, which hold relevant shares in the operating companies of 12 cinemas in China.


  In the cinema map of Stellar Group, Qin Hong said, "We have eight cinemas in Beijing next July, and we have three in Shanghai. We actually want to form four domestic cinema centers, the northeast and north China with Beijing as the leader, the east China with Shanghai as the leader, the south China with Guangzhou and Shenzhen as the leader, and the southwest center. "

Because this is the first in China, it is very convenient to register enterprises now!

Fujian tulou, which is distributed in the mountains in the west and south of Fujian, is famous for its unique architectural style and long history and culture. Fujian Tulou came into being in the Song and Yuan Dynasties. After the development in the early and middle Ming Dynasty, it gradually matured in the late Ming Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, and it has continued to this day. Its shapes are round, square, oval, arc and so on.

Another Korean supermarket has completely withdrawn from China, but it has left a hand.

According to Korean media reports, after 24 years of continuous expansion, emart (e-mart), a large discount supermarket owned by Shinsegae Group of South Korea, began to streamline its business, and recently said that it would completely withdraw from China by the end of this year.

Emart pointed out that due to the poor performance, the company has decided to close all the six remaining stores in the China market.

After years of huge losses, e-mart finally came to an end.

It is reported that emart has been losing money in China market for many years. As early as 2011, the loss of emart in China market has exceeded 100 billion won (about 88 million US dollars). In the next four years (2012-2016), due to the rising operating costs and weak market demand, its accumulated losses reached 150 billion won (about 133 million US dollars), reaching the point of "unable to survive".

According to public information, emart first entered the China market in February 1997, and opened the first "e-mart" supermarket in Shanghai. Later, it opened more stores with Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Tianjin and Beijing as the centers. At that time, it was announced that it would open 1,000 stores in China. By 2010, its total number of stores in China reached 27.

(e-mart Supermarket, which was once lively)

However, at this point, e-mart supermarkets can no longer open.

In 2011, the development of emart in China market suffered from "Waterloo", and 12 stores were closed at one go. By 2014, the number of its China stores has been reduced to 10; There were only 7 in November 2016; In March this year, it was announced that there were only six stores in the Old Ximen District of Shanghai. Today, the last six companies can’t keep it, and they will be evacuated one after another this year.

At present, there are 7 stores that can be selected when logging in to official website, China, e-mart, including Shanghai Laoximen Store, but the whole website is in a state of almost no maintenance. No matter which store you choose, the page display will be the same. Except for the two channels of "Poster Commodities" and "Store Promotion Commodities", the two channels of "New Commodities" and "e-mart Special Sale" are completely blank.

(e-mart, China and official website)

(Some channels in official website, e-mart are completely blank.)

In addition, the focus map on the homepage of the website also shows the publicity page of the 20th Anniversary Celebration (April 19th to May 2nd). Because this year is the 20th anniversary of the opening of Quyang Store in e-mart. However, this time seems a bit bleak, and the 20th anniversary has also become the "drama ending day".

Internal and external factors doomed this tragedy?

Looking back on the development of emart in China market, it seems that both internal and external factors doomed the closure of e-mart supermarket.

"Korea Economic Daily" concluded: e-mart Supermarket has never been successfully established, one of the important reasons is the poor geographical location of the store, which is attributed to its late entry into China. At the same time, compared with other retailers, e-mart’s prices and goods are not competitive. This is the failure of its own business strategy.

In addition, it is an indisputable fact that the format of China’s hypermarkets has entered a "downhill" several years ago. In recent years, the adjustment of store closing and transformation has been the main theme of this industry. In addition to the frequent news of store closing by local merchants in China, foreign giants such as Carrefour and Wal-Mart are also constantly "slimming down", and Lotte Mart, a Korean compatriot of emart, has also completely withdrawn from China this year.

An insider pointed out that, in fact, from the perspective of the whole retail industry, the market is increasing, and the situation of each format and each enterprise is different. "Those enterprises with high level of refinement, strong innovation ability and rapid transformation and upgrading will get out of the predicament faster, and vice versa."

Obviously, for so many years, emart seems to have never found the crux of its difficulties in the China market. Or, it has found the crux, but it has been unable to save it.

However, despite repeated defeats in China, in recent years, emart’s expansion in the whole overseas market is still very positive. When it announced its complete withdrawal from the China market, its officials mentioned that the company would shift its focus to fast-growing markets such as Viet Nam and Mongolia.

Previous media reports have pointed out that emart began to export to the Philippines in January this year, opened up the Japanese market in March, and entered the UK in April. Since then, the company plans to enter Thailand, Uzbekistan, Russia, the Netherlands and other places one after another. The goal is to earn more than 100 billion won (about 86.5 million US dollars) in overseas markets by next year.

It is not difficult to see that finding a way out in other countries may be an important measure for emart to make up for the market failure in China.

Change your skin and stay in China

It is worth noting that in recent years, under the background that all kinds of overseas supermarkets have entered China through e-commerce channels, emart can’t give up this fat piece of China market after all. Although all offline stores (e-mart Supermarket) will be closed soon, its online business (except official website, China) is still going on, but it has changed into a cross-border e-commerce mode.

It is understood that in 2015, when the offline business was "gone", emart caught up with the enthusiasm of cross-border e-commerce and chose another way to enter China: in July 2015, it joined hands with Netease Koala, and in October 2015, it settled in Tmall International to open the "emart official overseas flagship store".

At present, its business in Tmall International and Netease Koala is operating normally. When we open the official overseas flagship store of Tmall International emart, we can see that it provides goods to China consumers in two cross-border e-commerce modes: "overseas direct supply" (that is, overseas direct mail) and "bonded warehouse delivery", covering nine categories, including personal care, food and beverage, skin care and beauty, household daily use, kitchen appliances and maternal and child products. In Netease koala search "emart", you can find 59 products, all of which are self-operated by Netease koala.

According to previous media reports, Cui Yu, vice president of emart’s parent company, New World Group, publicly said in 2015: "We have a hard time in the offline market in China, but the development possibility in the online market in China is growing."

He pointed out that entering the e-commerce market in China is the latest move of emart to adjust its global asset portfolio, and said that "Korean offline consumers+global online consumers" will become the new strategic direction of global layout of emart in the future.

In fact, after staying in the China market through cross-border e-commerce, emart did taste some sweetness.

In double 11 in 2015, emart, who just settled in Tmall, was ranked 13th in the TOP20 list of pre-sales of Tmall international stores with a total amount of 8,157,740 yuan. But also take this opportunity to launch a number of self-owned brands in double 11.

In Tmall International, emart’s official overseas flagship store, as a representative business of "Korea Pavilion", has gained a lot of exposure opportunities. It is not difficult to find that the sales of its products are relatively hot by opening the product page of its store — — The total sales of the five most popular products are 120,000+,70,000+,60,000+,50,000+and 30,000+,and the sales of other products are also higher among peers. In Netease koala, many emart foods and daily necessities are also among the popular products.

In addition, at the Tmall International Global Merchants Conference held on the 18th of this month, emart also entered the list of "Billion Dollar Clubs" officially announced by Tmall International (that is, merchants whose sales exceeded 100 million dollars), and cooperated with Chemist Warehouse, Costco, Macy’ S, Matsumoto Kiyoshi, Sainsbury’ S, Metro and others stood in the first camp together.

However, in recent years, few overseas supermarkets have really had the last laugh. Emart’s Korean compatriot LOTTE’s "despondent" withdrawal from Tmall in March this year is also a lesson from the past.

A senior practitioner once bluntly told Billion Power Network: "Few overseas businesses can deeply understand Ali’s complex ecosystem, and they don’t understand the operation logic of China e-commerce. A large number of enterprises are coming in, and the platform resources are not enough. In the end, it is inevitable to grasp the big and put the small. Many overseas merchants come to Tmall and I am afraid they will run with them in the end. "

Obviously, emart, who changed into a cross-border e-commerce bag and stayed in China, still faces many strong enemies, and the future development path is full of uncertainties. Whether this transformation can finally be achieved still needs to wait and see.

Against the wind? Strike hard! Experts point to the root of illegal wildlife trade.

       CCTV News:During the epidemic period, cases of illegal hunting and sale of wild animals still occurred, and law enforcement agencies in various places severely cracked down on the crime of headwind and severely punished them according to law.

       At 5: 00 pm on January 31, when the police of Jiangchuan District Forest Public Security Bureau in Yuxi City, Yunnan Province inspected the jurisdiction, they found a villager carrying hunting tools, and birds chirped from time to time.

       Stopped by the police, the man put down his tools, bird cages and other items, saying that he was here to help people with Sanqi. When he was idle during the Spring Festival, he went up the mountain to hunt birds to eat.

       From the personal belongings of the suspected man, the police seized six tools for illegal hunting, two white-cheeked noises used as bait, a whistle, and 20 thrush illegally hunted, of which 16 were dead. The police immediately brought Xiong back to the Jiangchuan District Forest Public Security Bureau for further processing.

       In the law enforcement case handling center, Xiong confessed that he and his workers would hunt some wild animals from time to time to improve their lives when they were protecting Sanqi. In order to cut off the epidemic source at the first time and severely crack down on illegal hunting of wild animals, the forest public security organs at Yuxi City and Jiangchuan District immediately dispatched police to the area of Jiuxi Town in Jiangchuan District overnight to conduct surprise inspections on the dormitories and surrounding areas.

       On that night, 5 live wild animals, 1 live partridge, 1 live quail and 1 live yellow-butted snipe were seized, 16 catching tools, 11 iron clips, 1 whistle and 3 slingshots were seized, and 4 people involved were arrested. At present, the case is being further processed.

       In fact, cases like this are not uncommon. In the past few days, the Forestry Bureau of Tujia Autonomous County along the river in Guizhou Province has launched a special law enforcement campaign to crack down on wildlife trafficking. A total of 7 comprehensive farmers’ markets and more than 30 restaurants have been investigated, and 4 wild porcupines, 27 pheasants, 2 rabbits and 11 wild goats have been collected on the spot.

       On February 4th, Xizhu Police Station of Yixing City Public Security Bureau in Jiangsu Province successfully arrested Wang, a suspect suspected of illegal hunting. Through further search, five squirrels and ten Yellow weasel were found dead in the refrigerator of his home, as well as a large number of hunting equipment. After the trial, Wang confessed that since July 2019, more than 20 squirrels and 40 Yellow weasel were illegally hunted and sold in the form of hunting clips.

       What is actually hidden behind a case is the greedy demand for illegal interests.

       On November 7, 2019, security personnel at Guang ‘an Railway Station in Sichuan found a large number of dead wild birds in the suitcases of four passengers, including Lu Moguang. After checking and counting by the police of Guang ‘an Forest Public Security Bureau, 2418 dead wild birds and some hunting tools such as electronic bird traps and bird nets were found in the suspect’s suitcase. After the trial, four suspects confessed to using electronic bird traps and bird nets to hunt wild birds near Fenshuiling Village, shiya town, Yuechi County, Guang ‘an City, and two other suspects. Guang’ an Forest Public Security Bureau quickly organized the police of the Municipal Bureau, Qianfeng District and Yuechi County Forest Public Security Bureau to rush to the scene to arrest. The police investigating the case arrested the suspects Lu Mouliang and Yang Mouyou in Fenshuiling Village, shiya town, Yuechi County, and found seven greenhouses with live wild birds and two refrigerators with dead wild birds. After counting, there were more than 11,000 live wild birds and more than 2,200 dead wild birds.

       Guang ‘an Forest Public Security Bureau immediately set up a "11.7" extra-large illegal hunting case task force to carry out investigation work. After investigation, from mid-August, 2019, the suspects Lu Mouliang and Wu Moufu discussed bird catching to make money, and agreed that Lu Mouliang would be responsible for selecting bird catching places, renting houses, personnel round-trip fares, transportation, bird nets and other preparatory work and sales work. Wu Moufu was responsible for organizing bird catchers. For the birds caught by the bird catcher found by Wu Moufu, Lu Mouliang bought them at the price of live birds 0.8 yuan/bird and dead birds 0.6 yuan/bird, and Wu Moufu paid a commission of 0.2 yuan/bird. In mid-September, 2019, Wu Moufu organized Lu Moguang, Lu Moneng and others to illegally catch birds from congjiang county to Guang ‘an. Subsequently, Lu Mouliang’s cousin Lu Moxi also joined the illegal bird catching. After review, during the period from September 21 to November 6, 2019, criminal suspects illegally hunted more than 110,000 wild birds, mainly sparrows. The criminal suspects transported the hunted wild birds to Qingyuan, Foshan and other places in Guangdong for sale at a price ranging from 1.1 to 3 yuan by means of passenger car consignment, and made an illegal profit of more than 150,000 yuan.

       Recently, with the approval of the procuratorate, 10 suspects suspected of illegal hunting were arrested according to law.

       Cao Mingde, a professor at the School of Civil and Commercial Economics of China University of Political Science and Law, said: "In fact, illegal hunting and illegal trading of wild animals have been repeatedly prohibited for a long time, and an industrial chain has been formed, including illegal hunting, sales and purchase, as well as transportation, carrying, sending and utilization, including domestication and breeding. Then the reasons are various and the demand comes from consumers. Where there is demand, there is a market. "

A Little Red Flower: tolerate suffering and let the little red flower bloom in my heart.


Special feature of 1905 film network Salt lake, blue sky, white teenager, white skirt girl; It’s so clean in the warm sun, between heaven and earth … …After watching the movie, this scene must be lingering. This beautiful ideal is an illusion that Wei Yihang (Jackson Yee), a teenager, can only see before he falls sick and faints.



A smelly-faced teenager in front of a stranger is a cold-faced teenager in the eyes of his family. The taciturn and perverse "juvenile rage" is vividly reflected in the adolescent boy Wei Yihang.



Under the extreme conditions of brain cancer, all this rebellion is nothing more than a hard shell for him to choose to "confront" or escape from his own misfortune and strange eyes around him. The first half of A Little Red Flower focuses on the ice-breaking process of this layer of defense.


As a key figure who lights up Wei Yihang’s gloomy life on the plot line, Ma Xiaoyuan (played by Liu Haocun), an optimistic girl, changes everything with love. As a "senior" brain cancer patient, her weapon to break the ice is not only initiative, but also empathy beyond simple communication.


Han Yan, a director with shooting experience, once again returned to the "normal" life perspective after throwing out the protagonist’s illness dilemma. Compared with "tumor jun" who had to be confined to the ward scene most of the time, "Little Red Flower", which made many viewers call "watching a youth film", obviously went further on the positive road to sadness.


However, no matter how beautiful the picture of youth love is, its basic starting point still cannot escape the awe of life.



The opportunity for them to really get to know each other is the conflict and opposition between them on whether their cancer patients need chicken soup for the soul; Several degrees of ambiguous clutch are closely related to the recurrence of their illness.


As a highlight of the film’s plot and post-publicity, the Weibo accounts of the two protagonists have become the key clue for fans to resume the film.



The homophonic interpretation of Wei Yihang’s "WEIYI’s voyage" reflects the firm but helpless yearning of the boy with cancer to travel to distant places. The screen name of "how far to roll" is extremely suitable for Ma Xiaoyuan’s jumping personality, and at the same time, it more intuitively reflects her drive for Wei Yihang’s courage to dream.



Although their journey together failed to go far, this journey of spiritual companionship with Xiaoyuan still stirred Yihang’s heart after her death. With this growth, Yihang ordered a beef rice takeaway for her haggard father in the name of a dead girl with cancer. After knowing the secret of the lover of Wu Xiaomei (Yun-peng Yue), the owner of the cancer patient group, she chose to support silently, which really realized the difficulty for her parents to spend everything to save themselves … …


The first little red flower in the film of the first voyage that passed on the spirit of "Little Red Flower" is Xiaoyuan’s reward for his "initiative for the first time in life". If the two people’s similar illness backgrounds and family status are reflected, you will find that the process of actively pursuing a small distance under the encouragement of the other party can also be regarded as a journey of self-discovery — — The so-called proactive process is actually the acceptance of all the states such as one’s illness and dreams, unbearable and great.



Years later, Wei Yihang, who has finally completed this "only" voyage on the Qinghai Lake, which is highly corresponding to the image of the dreamland in reality, saw the face of his eternal lover and found a little red flower belonging to life and hope in the "migration of 100 million sheep".


This little red flower has actually been in the heart of Yihang. With this performance, Jackson Yee undoubtedly won a "little red flower" for his fresh but wonderful actor resume.



Different from Li Xiaobei’s guardian-like depth and courage, it seems that he only needs to return to the corner of Wei Yihang, who is a teenager, but he tests the emotional transformation of actors in multiple dimensions such as illness, autism, love and release.


That scene’s confession to Xiaoyuan after drinking is not only a self-doubt and frustrated teenager who can’t help himself after getting drunk, but also an accusation of unfair fate after being substituted into the status of a cancer patient.



"I’m afraid I’ll die as soon as I take out my heart." In addition to talent, such difficult movements are naturally voiced, and Jackson Yee’s belief in performance deserves greater praise.


Also worthy of being awarded the "Little Red Flower" are Liu Haocun, who has performed more and more, and the parents who have made intensive contributions to tears. Under the joint efforts of each audience’s unique interpretation, this "little red flower" has gradually become the public’s vision mapping.



Perhaps, you and I, who can feel the red flower in our hearts, will find the lake in our dreams in 2021.


2.0T+8AT system, is the new Xingyue L worth starting with?

The data shows that in September 2024, Geely Automobile’s new energy sales reached 91,000 vehicles, accounting for more than 45% of Geely’s total sales, and the development momentum is quite strong.

But do you know which car sold the most in September? It’s not a new energy vehicle, but Geely Xingyue L. It seems that the vitality of this fuel vehicle is still very strong, which is worthy of Geely’s good maintenance. Recently, the 2025 Geely Xingyue L Dongfang Yao SUV was launched, and five models were launched, with an official guide price of 147,700. So, is this new car worth starting with?

What kind of car is the new Xingyue L?

The new Xingyue L is named after Dongfang Obsidian, which sounds novel. It is actually a high-end version of the current Xingyue L. So what changes have been made to this car?

In terms of appearance, Xingyue L has basically not changed, and still adopts the family-style design style, retaining the straight waterfall net that has been used for many years. In the domestic fuel auto market, there are not many models that can control this design technique, and the Star Yue L is one of them.

The body size of the new car has not changed. The body length is 4770mm, and the wheelbase is 2845 mm. It adopts the big five-seat design and has a good performance in space, which can meet the daily needs of family users.

Compared with the current model, the new car has been upgraded in the seat function, adding the massage function of the main driving seat and the headrest speaker, and also adding the electric adjustment function of the second row seat, which is rare in the same price model.

In terms of interior, the new car has been adjusted to some extent. This car is still equipped with dual 12.3-inch large screens and a 12.3-inch full LCD instrument panel, but the size of the gear handle has been greatly reduced, which seems to have a stronger sense of design. At the same time, crystal material has been added to enhance the sense of grade of the entire cockpit.

At the same time, the new car also adds the color matching of Shaohua apricot, which looks more attractive and more suitable for high-end users. This fine-tuning range is not large, but the improvement of product strength is still obvious.

In terms of intelligent layout, the new car also has a good performance. It is equipped with Galaxy OS 2.0 intelligent lathe system and Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 chip, and the physical buttons on the central control panel are cancelled, which looks more scientific and technological. In addition, the new car comes standard with a 25.6-inch AR-HUD head-up display system, which can display all kinds of information related to the vehicle intuitively.

The new Xingyue L is still a fuel car, but its performance in intelligence is beyond the scope of ordinary fuel cars. In terms of intelligent driving, the new car provides L2-level driving assistance functions such as active braking, lane departure warning, transparent chassis, reversing side warning, lane merging assistance, lane keeping assistance system, road traffic sign recognition, etc. Even for new energy vehicles with the same price, many of them can’t reach the level of Star Crossing L..

At the same time, the new car also provides a high-level intelligent speech recognition system, which can realize the voice awakening of four sound zones, and at the same time, it can download various commonly used APPs through the app store to further enhance the user’s car experience. It’s hard to believe that this is a fuel car if you only look at it from the aspect of intelligence.

How is the power system performing?

So far, the penetration rate of new energy vehicles in China has approached 60%, and fuel engines have become "backward" products within a few years. However, judging from the strong performance of Xingyue L, many consumers still like fuel engines.

The new Xingyue L launched this time is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine and matched with an 8AT gearbox. The maximum power reaches 175kW and the maximum torque reaches 350N·m, which has a certain gap compared with the new energy vehicles at the same price, but it is still relatively competitive in fuel vehicles. However, it should be noted that this engine originally came from Volvo, so it needs to add 95 # gasoline like a luxury car, which increases the cost of using the car.

Compared with the current models, the new car has also been upgraded in the power system.

First of all, the new car provides a timely four-wheel drive system and multiple clutches, which brings strong off-road capability. In the process of go on road trip and Zhou Bianyou, if users encounter some bumpy and slippery roads, the four-wheel drive system can ensure the stability of the car body and improve the riding experience.

In addition, the new car also provides a suspension soft and hard adjustment function, which can adjust the suspension according to the change of road conditions, bringing users a driving experience beyond the same price of fuel vehicles. Compared with Geely’s new energy vehicles with adaptive suspension, the suspension of the new Xingyue L is not easy to get. After all, it is a fuel vehicle, and it is unlikely to reach the level of new energy vehicles in terms of intelligence. However, since users choose this car, they will compare it with the fuel car with the same price, so that the advantages of Xingyue L in suspension will be revealed.

What is the prospect of the new Xingyue L?

In fact, the product idea of the new Xingyue L is very simple. It continues to be equipped with a fuel engine, and at the same time, some rare configurations on fuel vehicles have been transplanted from new energy vehicles, such as AR-HUD, L2 driver assistance, intelligent vehicle system and so on.

The intention of doing this is obvious. Many consumers don’t like the endurance anxiety of new energy vehicles, but they also want the performance of new energy vehicles in intelligence. Xingyue L is equivalent to a transitional product between fuel vehicles and new energy vehicles. In a relatively low price range, it tries to provide a car experience comparable to new energy vehicles as a fuel vehicle, while avoiding the problem of endurance anxiety.

This is a more rational approach, and it also captures the actual needs of many users. New energy is indeed the future development direction, but the needs of consumers are diversified, and they will only choose the models they really need. The "intermediate product" of Xingyue L will disappear one day, but before it disappears, it can still bring a large number of users to Geely.

Summary: Xingyue L is one of Geely’s most successful models in recent years, so it is necessary to carry out intelligent transformation. It is still a fuel vehicle, not an oil-to-electricity vehicle, but in terms of product strength, it has surpassed some nondescript oil-to-electricity vehicles and is more attractive to consumers. So, if you have a car purchase budget of hundreds of thousands, will you choose this car?

Recently, there is another good news from the entertainment circle-

According to media reports, Song Joong Ki, who was promoted to father in June last year, welcomed the crystallization of love again.

At present, his current wife (Katie) is focusing on prenatal education and health care.

On July 8, Song Joong Ki brokerage company also confirmed to the outside world:

"Song Joong Ki and his wife are welcoming Erbao, but they can’t confirm the birth time and gender of the child, because this is a private issue."

In retrospect, since January 30, 2023, the two married and gave birth to their first child.

In just one and a half years, their newborn has turned one year old.

Even more surprising, less than two years after their new marriage, Song Joong Ki and his wife are ready to give birth to a second child again.

This shows how much Song Joong Ki attaches to his family and his two children. …

Since becoming a father, Song Joong Ki always seems to enjoy it.

Just last month, he was bumped into shopping and strolling his baby many times, sometimes with his wife.

Song Joong Ki pushed the stroller, acting like a "daddy", while his wife followed, and their happiness almost overflowed the screen.

In addition, Song Joong Ki also frequently mentioned his son in the interview, proudly saying:

"The child is very similar to me!"

Seeing this, fans are also deeply touched.

From a "national male god" to a "super daddy", this change makes people see another side of Song Joong Ki.

It turns out that he has been expressing his persistence in love and family in his own way.

Anyway, I wish the new family in Song Joong Ki, always full of laughter and warmth …

02

The news that Song Joong Ki is happy to have a second child is also discussed by the outside world.

Among them, the most talked about by netizens is the marriage between Song Joong Ki and his ex-wife Song Hye Kyo.

As we all know, Song Joong Ki and Song Hye Kyo met through the TV series Descendants of the Sun and got married in December 2017.

At that time, their wedding was extremely grand.

Unfortunately, this marriage only lasted for one year and eight months and then ended hastily.

Some netizens speculated that contacting Song Joong Ki and his ex-wife Song Hye Kyo had no children, and now his current wife. "Give birth to 2 babies in 2 years.”。

Maybe,The reason why the two divorced at the beginning was that they had differences on the issue of "having children".

Some people say that Song Hye Kyo is "unwilling to have children" and wants to focus on his career, and his relationship with his parents-in-law is not well handled.

And Song Joong Ki wanted to have children very much, so they had a lot of conflicts until their marriage broke down completely.

Song Hye Kyo is four years older than Song Joong Ki. When they divorced, Song Hye Kyo was 38 years old.

Female stars of this age want to have children, not only have to face a huge career crisis, but also the risks in production can not be underestimated.

Therefore, it can be said that it is an inevitable ending for the two to part ways …

Speaking of which,Song Joong Ki has repeatedly said in interviews that starting a family and having children are his biggest goals in life.

But this is the reality. No matter how you choose, you have regrets in life.

This failed marriage has dealt a great blow to both sides.

After the divorce, Song Hye Kyo stopped all the work in the show business.

For a long time, she chose to travel and relax to relieve her inner pain.

Song Joong Ki, on the other hand, not only continued to work hard in his career, but also met his current wife under the introduction of his friends, and finally went to the palace of marriage.

For their experience, there may be many heartbroken fans who say,I don’t believe in love anymore.

But in fact, it is normal for marriage to be on and off.

Especially the marriage between stars, there are many unknown inside stories.

Fortunately, when their marriage broke up, Song Hye Kyo and Song Joong Ki never complained about each other in public.

For them,No matter what the outcome is, as long as both sides have loved each other, it is not disappointing each other …

03

Perhaps many people still believe that women must have children in order to be perfect in life.

But,Who can really define "perfection"?

Take this case-

There is nothing wrong with Song Hye Kyo’s choice of divorce;

And Song Joong Ki in a wife, even a second child, also understandable.

After all, getting married and having children are all personal freedoms and rights.

Marriage is not happy because of having children, but the result of joint efforts of husband and wife.

It is a long process for a mother to be pregnant in October.

After countless sleepless nights, I finally welcomed the arrival of a new life.

After having children, parents forget their past life and become their children’s 24-hour personal bodyguards.

Moreover, parents will be responsible for their children all their lives, and there is no freedom of "single" and "chic" anymore.

Therefore,Before making this decision, we must be cautious …

Unmarried infertility is not terrible, what is terrible is to promote marriage and give birth.

Some people, ostensibly in the name of love and care, are actually a kind of "parental" control, a kind of arrogance and hegemony in their bones.

This is a manifestation of lack of cultural literacy;

It is also the culprit of creating stress and spreading anxiety;

It is also an interference and disrespect for the freedom of marriage and childbearing of others.

The book "Golden Age" once said:

"I can’t decide life and death, but I can decide how to love and live."

In a civilized era, there should be such tolerance, and we must not be discriminated against because of a certain person or a certain choice …

04

Of course, we can also understand those views that "support" having children.

But in fact, there is no right or wrong to have children.

Right or wrong, only depends on the position.

Many positions are due to different ages,Caused by different living environments.

For example,In the 1960s and 1970s.Parents, they lack material conditions and a sense of security.

Only children are the dawn of life.

These parents dream of their children getting married and starting a career, dreaming of "have children and grandchildren in the household"Old age.

Because their parents and grandparents came like this.

Therefore, the birth has been non-stop.

Heard such a sentence:

"The ultimate meaning of life is to take responsibility, find answers to difficult problems, and complete the tasks set by life for everyone."

For families with successful careers and married children, people often describe them as "winners in life".

But this does not mean that life without marriage is incomplete.

Or, when people around you are saying, "Marry someone early" and "Have a lovely baby early".

How should a single person face this kind of "goodwill"?

Nowadays, there are many teenage stars who stand up and speak out and support each other spontaneously.

In the matter of getting married and having children, you can choose to be single all the time;

In the face of other people’s doubts, you can also fight back with great confidence and continue to be yourself.

In fact,The best understanding of fertility is "participating in the growth of a life".

Don’t have to fight for the facade for parents; There is no need to carry on the family line; Not to mention helping parents support the elderly.

Parenting is parenting.

As Mr. Hu Shi said:

"Raising you is not kindness, but biological instinct caused by blood;"

"So, since I have not been kind to you, you don’t need to repay me;"

"On the contrary, I want to thank you, because with your participation, my life is more complete."

The process of childbearing is a process in which children and parents nourish each other.

Having children can teach us what "love" is by loving a life deeply.

But if you don’t have children, you don’t have to feel indebted.

"Like"+"Looking", the ultimate truth of getting along with others is to allow others to be others and allow themselves to be themselves. …
