Core reading

　　The people of China, under the leadership of the Communist Party of China (CPC), have spent decades completing the industrialization process that developed countries have gone through for hundreds of years, creating a development miracle that attracts worldwide attention. The successful practice of Chinese-style modernization shows that the western modernization road is not the only way for mankind to modernize. The Chinese-style modernization road expands the way for developing countries to modernize and provides new choices for countries and nations in the world who want to accelerate their development and maintain their independence.

　　The establishment of the Communist Party of China (CPC) in 1921 was an epoch-making event. In the 100 years since the founding of the Communist Party of China (CPC), the people of China have been united and led to make remarkable achievements in promoting China’s socialist modernization through arduous exploration and continuous struggle. Today, our Party has led the people of China to embark on a new journey of building a socialist modern country in an all-round way.

　　The Communist Party of China (CPC) started China’s modernization journey at the time of national crisis.

　　China is an ancient civilization with a long history and splendid culture. It has been at the forefront of the world for a long time in history, and the hardworking, brave and intelligent people of China have made outstanding contributions to the progress of human civilization. After modern times, due to various reasons, China was trapped in poverty and weakness, and the Chinese nation was facing the crisis of national subjugation and extinction, which also made the people of China clearly aware of the backward situation in China, and thus began to seek reform, self-improvement and modernization.

　　In that era of aggression by western powers, incessant wars, social unrest and people’s displacement, in order to save the nation from peril and realize national rejuvenation, the people of China and countless people with lofty ideals made arduous explorations and epic struggles. Before the Revolution of 1911, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement, the Westernization Movement, the Reform Movement of 1898, the Boxer Rebellion and the New Deal in the late Qing Dynasty failed. Although the Revolution of 1911 ended the autocratic monarchy that ruled China for thousands of years, it failed to change the semi-colonial and semi-feudal social nature of China and the tragic fate of the people of China. After the Revolution of 1911, China tried various forms such as constitutional monarchy, parliamentary system, multi-party system and presidential system, and various political forces and their representatives appeared in succession, but failed to find the correct answer. The people of China still lived in misery and humiliation. Facts have proved that the self-improvement movement that does not touch the old social foundation, reformism in various names, the old peasant war, the democratic revolution led by the bourgeois revolutionaries, and various schemes that copy the western political system model can not complete the historical tasks of the Chinese nation to save the nation from extinction and resist imperialism and feudalism, nor can they stabilize the political situation and society in China, nor can they provide institutional guarantee for China to achieve national prosperity and people’s happiness.

　　During the period of poverty and weakness in China, various ideologies and thoughts were tried, but the capitalist road failed, and other "ideologies" failed to solve the future and destiny of China, let alone provide scientific theoretical guidance for China’s modernization. The October Revolution brought Marxism–Leninism to China and pointed out the direction for the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation and the modernization of China.

　　The Communist Party of China (CPC) stepped onto the historical stage at a critical moment when the Chinese nation was facing life and death. Since its establishment, the Communist Party of China (CPC) has been guided by Marxist scientific theory, taking communism as the highest ideal and ultimate goal, taking the happiness of the people of China and the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation as the initial heart and mission, and unswervingly striving for "China that pursues my ideal", leading the people of China to advance wave after wave and shed blood and sacrifice for national independence, people’s liberation, national prosperity and people’s happiness. Finally, the three mountains of imperialism, feudalism and bureaucratic capitalism were overthrown, and a new China was established, where the people were the masters of the country, which fundamentally changed the future and destiny of the people of China and the Chinese nation, irreversibly ended the tragic fate of China’s domestic troubles and foreign invasion after modern times, and started the great journey of China’s modernization.

　　Chinese modernization was formed in the process of continuous exploration by the Communist Party of China (CPC) people.

　　Different countries will choose different modernization paths because of their different historical culture, basic national conditions and historical missions. After the founding of New China, the Communist Party of China (CPC) led the people of China to continuously explore the road of Chinese modernization, made great achievements that attracted worldwide attention, created the miracle of rapid economic development and long-term social stability, and expanded the ways for developing countries to modernize.

　　Before the founding of New China, at the Second Plenary Session of the Seventh Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, Comrade Mao Zedong proposed to the whole party the historical task of "steadily transforming China from an agricultural country into an industrial country and building China into a great socialist country". Since the founding of New China, our Party has made arduous explorations in socialist modernization. Comrade Mao Zedong pointed out that our task "is to settle down so that we can build our country’s modern industry, modern agriculture, modern science and culture and modern national defense".

　　After the Third Plenary Session of the 11th CPC Central Committee, China’s socialist modernization entered a new historical period. Comrade Deng Xiaoping emphasized that whether modernization can be realized "determines the destiny of our country and nation" and "the modernization we are engaged in is Chinese-style modernization. The socialism we are building is socialism with China characteristics ". Under the leadership of the Communist Party of China (CPC), we have successfully embarked on the road of Chinese modernization. Based on China and facing the world, this modernization road insists on taking Marxism as the guidance, the Communist Party of China (CPC) as the highest political leading force, Socialism with Chinese characteristics road and people-centered, striving to build a prosperous, strong, democratic, civilized, harmonious and beautiful socialist modernization power, realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, strive to achieve common prosperity for all people, promote all-round development of people, and strive to promote world peace and development, which has distinctive characteristics of the times and China. This road to modernization not only conforms to the reality of China and embodies the laws of Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s construction, but also follows the trend of the times and embodies the laws of world modernization and the development of human society.

　　China’s modernization process is not smooth sailing, but under the strong leadership of the Communist Party of China (CPC) and the joint efforts of several generations of China people, China has gone from "lagging behind the times" to "catching up with the times" and then "leading the times", and the road of Chinese modernization has become wider and wider. China has moved from poverty to prosperity, becoming the second largest economy in the world, and its economic strength, scientific and technological strength and comprehensive national strength have greatly jumped; The people’s life in China has moved from insufficient food and clothing to a well-off society in an all-round way, and the happiness index has been continuously improved; China has developed from a traditional agricultural country to an industrial country, and its degree of industrialization is getting higher and higher, making it the largest manufacturing country; China has moved from closed and semi-closed to all-round opening, deeply participated in economic globalization and made more and more contributions to human civilization; China is getting closer to the center of the world stage, and its international influence has increased significantly.

　　The people of China, under the leadership of the Communist Party of China (CPC), have spent decades completing the industrialization process that developed countries have gone through for hundreds of years, creating a development miracle that attracts worldwide attention. The successful practice of Chinese-style modernization shows that the western modernization road is not the only way for mankind to modernize. The Chinese-style modernization road expands the way for developing countries to modernize and provides new choices for countries and nations in the world who want to accelerate their development and maintain their independence.

　　To build a socialist modern country in an all-round way, we must uphold and strengthen the overall leadership of the party.

　　The 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China made a strategic arrangement to advance the goal of the second century in two stages, that is, to basically realize socialist modernization by 2035 and to build China into a strong, prosperous, democratic, civilized, harmonious and beautiful socialist modernization country by the middle of this century. Based on the reality of the new development stage, the Fifth Plenary Session of the 19th CPC Central Committee put forward the long-term goal of basically realizing socialist modernization by 2035. To build a socialist modern country in an all-round way, we must uphold and strengthen the overall leadership of the party.

　　The modernization to be realized in China is the modernization with a huge population, the common prosperity of all the people, the coordination of material civilization and spiritual civilization, the harmonious coexistence of man and nature and the modernization of peaceful development. Realizing such modernization is the common aspiration of all Chinese people, and it is also the ideal and pursuit, responsibility and responsibility of the Communist Party of China (CPC) people. To realize such modernization, we must have a "backbone" and a strong leadership core. In contemporary China, this core can only be the Communist Party of China (CPC) as the highest political leading force. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader stressed: "History has proved and will continue to prove that without the Communist Party of China (CPC)’s leadership, national rejuvenation must be a pipe dream." Therefore, to build a socialist modern country in an all-round way, we must uphold and strengthen the overall leadership of the Party, strengthen the "four consciousnesses", strengthen the "four self-confidences" and achieve the "two maintenance".

　　To uphold and strengthen the overall leadership of the party, we must comprehensively promote the new great project of party building. At present and in the future, China’s development is still in an important period of strategic opportunities, but there are new developments and changes in both opportunities and challenges, and the domestic and international environment facing China is undergoing extensive and profound changes. Although China has unique political advantages, institutional advantages, development advantages and opportunity advantages, and there are many favorable conditions for building a socialist modern country in an all-round way, the problem of insufficient development imbalance is still outstanding, the historical task to be completed in promoting modernization is still very arduous, and the contradictions, difficulties and risks faced in reform, development and stability are still very complicated, which puts new demands on the party’s ruling ability and leadership level. At present, party building is still facing a series of new situations, new problems and new challenges. It is more arduous and urgent than ever to implement the task of managing the party in an all-round way. To ensure that the Party is always in the forefront of the times in the historical process of profound changes in the world situation, always the backbone of the people of the whole country in the historical process of coping with various risks and tests at home and abroad, and always the core of strong leadership in the historical process of upholding and developing Socialism with Chinese characteristics, we must strengthen Party building with the spirit of self-revolution, and constantly enhance the Party’s ability of self-purification, self-improvement, self-innovation and self-improvement.

　　On the occasion of celebrating the centenary of the founding of the Communist Party of China (CPC), we need to take into account the overall situation of the great rejuvenation strategy of the Chinese nation and the unprecedented changes in the world in the past century, conscientiously sum up the Communist Party of China (CPC)’s valuable experience in leading Chinese modernization, raise it to a theoretical height, and constantly enrich the treasure house of Marxist modernization theory; Unswervingly promote modernization, promote the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation with Chinese modernization, constantly make new and greater contributions to mankind, and fully demonstrate the characteristics and advantages of Chinese modernization. Standing at the key node of the historical intersection of the goals of "two hundred years", we should constantly improve our political judgment, political understanding and political execution, and constantly improve our political ability, strategic vision and professional level to grasp the new development stage, implement the new development concept and build a new development pattern, so as to ensure that socialist modernization will be basically realized by 2035 and China will be built into a strong, prosperous, democratic, civilized, harmonious and beautiful socialist modernization country by the middle of this century.

　　In April 2001, Shanghai County Real Estate Corporation was renamed as Shanghai Zhongxiang (Group) Co., Ltd., and was transformed from a state-owned enterprise into a private enterprise invested by natural persons. The transfer of the right to use the 2,536 mu of land that has been repeatedly moved took place during the restructuring period.

　　Zhou Xiaodi, a Shanghai real estate tycoon, is suspected of hiring a murderer to hurt people, and the case of "reselling" the land is about to be staged.

　　National business daily learned through reliable sources that Qin Jinlong, the former legal representative and president of Shanghai Zhongxiang Group Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Zhongxiang Company"), who had cooperated with Zhou Xiaodi, was accused of corruption and will appear in court in early March.

　　The prosecution alleged that Qin Jinlong instructed Ding Beili, the former chief financial officer of Zhongxiang Company, and Zhang Yong, the former party secretary, to illegally occupy more than 3,000 mu of land transfer benefits during the company’s restructuring, among which Qin Jinlong was accused of embezzling state-owned assets of more than 161 million yuan, a huge amount which is rare in China. The case of Qin Jinlong is inextricably linked with the 2,536 mu of land that Zhou Xiaodi has repeatedly moved.

　　Tracing back to the case of hiring a murderer to injure someone and take out the land

　　On December 25th, 2008, Zhou Xiaodi, the former chairman of Shanghai New Century Yide Real Estate Company, who was named as the "son of Pudong", appeared in court in Shanghai on charges of intentional injury and illegal reselling of land use rights.

　　According to the accusation of the First Branch of the Shanghai Municipal People’s Procuratorate, from September 2001 to November 2006, in the name of "joint development", Zhou Xiaodi granted 2,536.048 mu of land use right of Sanlinyide plot in Pudong New Area, It was illegally transferred to Shanghai Sunshine Investment (Group) Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Sunshine Company"), Xizi Elevator (Group) Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Xizi Group"), Shanghai Xinrong Real Estate Development Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Xinrong Company") and Shanghai Environmental Real Estate Investment Development Co., Ltd. at a price ranging from 570,000 yuan to 1.25 million yuan per mu, and collected more than 2 billion yuan from the above companies successively.

　　Yide Company only owns more than 2,500 mu of land development rights, but Zhou Xiaodi promised that Sunshine Company has 1,243 mu of land, Xizi Company has 800 mu of land, Xinrong Company has 475 mu of land, and it has to keep 500 mu of land for independent development rights, thus realizing "selling more in one place".

　　On November 6th, 2007, Yin Minghua, the shareholder representative of Xizi Group, was violently attacked and seriously injured. It is understood that there was a conflict between Yin Minghua and Zhou Xiaodi for the equity of Sanlin Yide plot. Soon after, the police arrested Zhou Xiaodi, who was seriously suspected.

　　Illegal acquisition of source land

　　Half a year after Zhou Xiaodi was brought to justice, the Shanghai Real Estate Bureau issued a document entitled "Decision on Reclaiming the Land Use Right of Sanlinyide Residential Area in Pudong New Area", which reclaimed 2,536 mu of land use right of Sanlinyide plot repeatedly overturned in Zhou Xiaodi and re-entered the land resource reserve center of Pudong New Area as reserve land. This is the largest piece of land recovered by the Shanghai government over the years. The reason of the Real Estate Bureau is that the relevant cooperation agreement has not been approved by the government, and the land transferor, Shanghai County Real Estate Corporation, did not include the land use right in the scope of restructured assets in the process of enterprise restructuring.

　　This official document implies more inside information-it is illegal to obtain this plot that caused many right and wrong at first. The last one who sold land to Zhou Xiaodi is the predecessor of Zhongxiang Company-Shanghai County Real Estate Corporation.

　　According to public information, on April 9, 2001, Zhou Xiaodi established Shanghai New Century Yide Real Estate Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Yide Company) in the name of Shanghai New Century Venture (Group) Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "New Century Company") with Shanghai County Real Estate Corporation and another government-backed Zhongxing Company. Zhou Xiaodi New Century Company actually transferred the right to use this 2,536 mu of land from Shanghai County Real Estate Corporation for 634 million yuan.

　　National business daily learned from people familiar with the matter that Shanghai County Real Estate Corporation, with the approval of Shanghai County People’s Government in December 1992, requisitioned 2,536 mu of land in Sanlin Town, Pudong for the development and construction of Yide residential area. In 1993, the company signed an agreement with Zhongxing Company to develop the plot. However, after paying part of the preliminary project cost, Zhongxing Company was unable to pay the rest, so the project ran aground.

　　In 1996, the land management department of Pudong New Area issued a notice to start construction within a time limit for Sanlinyide plot, which has been assigned to Pudong New Area. If the Shanghai County Real Estate Corporation fails to start construction before the end of 1997, it will recover the land use right according to law. However, after that, the plot still shows no signs of being ready for development.

　　By means of "disappearing" the land in the process of "retreating the country and advancing the people"

　　After several years, how did the land that should have been reclaimed by the government transfer to Zhou Xiaodi?

　　According to informed sources, from 1996 to May 2001, Shanghai County Real Estate Corporation repeatedly applied to Pudong New Area Comprehensive Planning and Land Bureau to extend the term of the land use permit. However, on April 27th, 2001, the Shanghai Administration for Industry and Commerce has approved the renaming of Shanghai County Real Estate Corporation as Shanghai Zhongxiang (Group) Co., Ltd., and transformed it from a state-owned enterprise into a private enterprise invested by natural persons.

　　During the cooperation between Qin Jinlong and Zhou Xiaodi, Shanghai County Real Estate Corporation was in the stage of restructuring. The transfer of the right to use the 2,536 mu of land that has been repeatedly moved took place during the restructuring period.

　　Relevant information shows that Qin Jinlong, 61, was appointed as the legal representative and general manager of Shanghai County Real Estate Corporation in 1992. After the restructuring of the company, he served as the legal representative and president of Zhongxiang Company, owned 40% equity of Zhongxiang Company, and had the right to decide on land transfer.

　　According to relevant judicial documents and administrative notices, Qin Jinlong signed an agreement with New Century Company with Zhou Xiaodi as the chairman in the name of Shanghai County Real Estate Corporation, and then collected the relevant land transfer fee of 530 million yuan in the name of Zhongxiang Company. The process of Qin Jinlong’s profit-making is finally emerging.

　　In broad daylight, how was more than 2,500 mu of land in Sanlin Yide hidden? The answer should be found in the financial report of Shanghai County Real Estate Corporation during the restructuring period.

　　According to the investigation of the prosecution, at the end of 1999, Qin Jinlong and others provided the audit institution with the expired land use right certificate of Sanlin Yide plot, concealing the materials that were applied for extension of development and were approved. Therefore, Yide plot was not included in the property reported by the company for restructuring.

　　According to the above investigation, the prosecution found that Qin Jinlong embezzled 54.39 million yuan of state-owned assets.

　　Case analysis, restructuring through the road, Qin Jinlong’s crazy move

　　Sanlinyide plot is only the largest plot hidden by Qin Jinlong and others.

　　In 1999, on the eve of the restructuring, Shanghai County Real Estate Corporation transferred 69 mu of land in Longbai Sixth Village to Shanghai Fosun High-tech (Group) Co., Ltd. for more than 100 million yuan. When Qin Jinlong reported the restructured assets, he fictionalized the transfer payment of more than 50 million yuan paid by Fosun as a loan. Ding Beili, the chief financial officer, and Zhang Yong, the manager of the pre-development department, all participated in this time to varying degrees, resulting in the land transfer money before the restructuring falling into the pocket of Zhongxiang Company. The prosecution finally determined that the three people jointly embezzled 87.15 million yuan of state-owned assets this time.

　　In 2000, Qin Jinlong and Ding Beili lied to the audit unit that the 833 mu of land in the plot of Hengxing, Chen Hang, could still be developed and used. In 1993, the plot was transferred to relevant companies for development at a price of 60 million yuan, and the 833 mu of land in the plot was not evaluated as a converted asset.

　　In March 2001, in the name of Shanghai County Real Estate Corporation, Qin Jinlong transferred 833 mu of land to Shanghai Pengxin Real Estate Development Co., Ltd. and Shanghai Pengxin (Group) Co., Ltd. for 230 million yuan, and the other party paid a total of 172.6 million yuan to Zhongxiang Company. Qin Jinlong and Ding Beili embezzled 19.05 million yuan of state-owned assets.

　　The prosecution finally found that Qin Jinlong embezzled 161 million yuan of state-owned assets, while Ding Beili and Zhang Yong were involved in embezzling 106 million yuan and 87.15 million yuan respectively. Since all three people were state employees before, they should be investigated for criminal responsibility for corruption according to the Criminal Law. The case is expected to be heard publicly in Shanghai No.1 Intermediate People’s Court in early March.

Time writer | picking up fools

Read it and don’t agree to turn on the youth mode.

A new historical record was born!

On December 28, 2020, the official Express reported that after 73 days of its high-profile release, it won a total box office of 32.47 billion yen.

Successfully surpassed Spirited Away’s 31.68 billion yen and topped the Japanese box office list.

Or you can say that it finally broke the box office record of the latter in Japanese film history for 18 years and became the most popular cinema film in Japanese history.

The "victory or defeat" is known and the dust settles.

This result is reasonable for the people who have been obsessed with betting on "who is the first" for two months, and it is not surprising.

Time Jun specially invited a person in Japan who has finished painting the theatrical version of "Ghost Destroying @ Picking up Fools".

Before the screening date in the mainland has yet to be determined, I will be greedy again for hundreds of millions of times-

For most Japanese audiences, it may be hard to imagine the popularity of this animated film in China due to the introduction of the film and the lag of market information.

Take TOHOシネマズ in Shinjuku, Tokyo as an example. Even though it has been shown for 73 days, on December 28th, Blade of the Ghost: Infinite Train (hereinafter referred to as Infinite Train).

Comparing Doraemon: Walk with Me 2, which was released in the same period, and Wonder Woman 1984, a new interpretation of the Three Kingdoms, the statistical data of the three can barely reach half of the relevant data of Infinite Train.

What’s more,.

Whether it is joked by netizens or quoted by the new Prime Minister Suga Yoshihide in the parliamentary defense (one of the "killing skills" used by the leading role Tanjiro) as a golden sentence of active atmosphere.

Even a group of people who refused to "surrender" to Blade of the Ghost, spontaneously posted tags on SNS and sent them to Twitter for hot search (Japanese original is "キメハラ": キメ is the abbreviation of Blade of the Ghost, ハラ)

Even Kitano Takeshi joined the ghost-destroying cos army.

But interestingly, it is different from the first season of animation launched by Blade of the Ghost in 2019.

With the "long standby" of the release time of "Infinite Train", the evaluation of the film itself seems to begin to show a mixed trend after the initial wave of "gods" praise.

Views such as "slow fever", "wordiness", "sensational embarrassment" and "memory killing by people" and so on also represent another kind of "deviation from the mainstream" voice.

In view of the fact that the film has not been released in the mainland and a well-known basic truth-"there are a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand people".

Let’s put aside the movie spoilers that affect the perception (in case of being scolded) and the business angle involving brand marketing (knowledge blind area).

The film begins at the end of the first season of animation. Tell the story of the protagonist Tanjiro Zaomen who joined the Ghost Killing Team, and after completing his studies in Butterfly House, he went to purgatory with Xing Shoulang, the predecessor of the Ghost Killing Team, known as "Yanzhu", and took the Infinite Train to perform the task.

According to the plot development of the original comic book,

As far as the story itself is concerned, at first glance, Blade of the Ghost does not seem to be divorced from the traditional structure and classic elements of the Jump system.

If that’s all, Blade of the Ghost Extinguishes has a leading list of "Dead Sea of Fire" (Death, Naruto and One Piece, which were once recognized as the most popular "three major migrant workers"), and then "Steel Refining" and "Giant" are the world’s first battles, and it can still spread from a hundred schools of thought to deus ex and become an annual explosion.

Probably it has to be classified as some kind of "secondary metaphysical event" that seeks benevolence and is merciful to God.

However, it is obvious that Blade of the Ghost and its theatrical version of Infinite Train have continued their high popularity since their broadcast and release.

Among the many interpretations of "ghost extinction becomes popular", some key words are repeatedly mentioned, such as "subtraction of content"; "delicate emotional expression"; "ufotable’s Conscience Making" and "OP’s Blessing of Red Lotus"; As well as the hot connection between animation and film, it may all be regarded as the reason why Blade of the Ghost Out stands out.

However, when we put aside the open-ended framework analysis, we try to cut in from a more "content" perspective.

Other viewpoints, for example, seem to be closer to the unique core of the "Ghost Extinction" story.

Many times, when we talk about "good and evil", we often acquiesce that the two have the natural attribute of just opposition.

People who are heinous will be ruthlessly strangled by those who hate evil, and everything seems to be a matter of course, and there is nothing to explore.

When the above context is put into the "ghost-out" world where people and ghosts coexist, the settings that the audience can quickly accept without thinking must include the natural confrontation between good and evil:

.

This seems to be all the reasons why the protagonist and villain exist and the story can be unfolded. Is that really all?

The little boss in TV animation was also "freed" after being knocked down by Tanjiro.

Simply and rudely accepting the background of the story will often lead us to ignore some contents hidden in the background that the author wants to express.

My teacher Hu Shiqing created a "mediocre" man who violated the convention-

From this, we noticed that the hero Tanjiro, who entered the ghost killing team, did not hesitate to give "unnecessary care" to every evil ghost in actual combat.

Tanjiro’s pity for the enemy "ghost" is his greatest charm.

In this process, we have seen writers who have never been recognized and misunderstood their parents’ love. They were not born as ghosts, but also had human experiences before, and all kinds of torture and unfair fate were embarrassing.

However, good and evil, that is, people and ghosts in the works, have always been two sides of one body.

As for our "ordinary" protagonist Tanjiro, he did not choose a long-winded "oral escape" education in the ghost killing action. He crusaded against evil spirits to protect life and tolerated the dead souls to understand life.

From this point of view, the position represented by Tan Zhilang is neither a ghost killing team from the perspective of "subject" nor an evil ghost defined as the concept of "the other".

Instead, he jumped out of the dualistic structure of good and evil and returned to the starting point and root of why people are (or used to be).

Similar plot arrangements can be seen everywhere in Blade of the Ghost and its theatrical films.

If it is necessary to go up in value, such an arrangement can not only reflect the humanism of "subject philosophy", but also "those who are more expensive than gentlemen can be inclusive, so that those who are intelligent can have their own views, while those who are stupid can be self-sufficient".

There is also no lack of reflection on the current situation of public opinion in the Internet ecology, which mostly replaces the confrontation of views with strangulation of positions.

Back to Infinite Train.

I watched this film twice before and after in the Japanese cinema, and to be honest, I felt completely different twice.

As early as before the film was released, all kinds of "ghost extinction" announcements and commodity linkage had been overwhelming, and the excellent performance of CG production tycoon "UFO Club" in the first season of animation made me look forward to the theatrical version of "Train".

However, a "but" that I’m afraid no one wants to see-

Some people say that "Infinite Train" is "unworthy of virtue" and "it is really difficult to be inferior under the fame", but such a harsh evaluation is not necessary.

As far as I am concerned,

There is nothing wrong with it, but it is not exquisite enough.

I have seen the burning will of fire, the courage to put all your eggs in one basket for what you want to protect, the gentle and firm strong, the flesh and blood human beings (I have also seen the visual picture of being tempted back and forth on the edge of the "dark curtain").

However, in the 117-minute film, there are always some vivid clips, just like the bilibili barrage, which reminds you that "you can start crying here".

At least in my slightly unreasonable demands, I may be able to shape the image and pave the way for the background of Xing Shoulang, the protagonist of this film, "Yan Zhu".

The cartoonist Wu Yi Hu Shiqing gave himself a self-portrait of a crocodile with glasses.

In order to express their strong desire for survival, it is still necessary to emphasize that the above views are very subjective, and different people have different opinions.

Subsequently, "Infinite Train" not only opened paintings all over Japan, but also entered the cinemas of China, Hong Kong and Taiwan.

Its good box office and high popularity need not be repeated.

.

I can’t say that I haven’t been influenced by outside opinions. After being swept by the increasingly fierce "ghost-killing whirlwind" for two months, I finally decided to go into the cinema again, put aside my preconceived impression and watch the "infinite train" again.

The ticket stub (and special edition) is here

Facing the story of these teenagers for the second time, I no longer care about the so-called "literary drama" and "rhythm", but try to put myself on the screen and bring it into the first perspective of the leading group.

This time, it was really easy to cry, and there was no sensational trap of crying in the hope that the audience would cry.

After the show, I couldn’t help asking the middle school students who started sobbing in the middle of the film next door. I was just curious, because the plot was still a comedy with expressions flying all over the place.

His answer accidentally poked me in the heart:

After the Blade of Ghost Destroyed continuously dominated the major sales charts, it was inevitably compared with the closely followed One Piece, the "Top Stream" predecessor "The Attack Giant", and even the bloody memory of the previous generation "saint seiya the Saint" and the recognized masterpiece "The Alchemist of Steel" which was also written by female cartoonists, and so on.

Summed up, it can probably be written as an excellent graduation thesis of ACG major.

But in any case, it must be admitted that when creating a "ghost-destroyed world", my teacher Hu Shiqing did not choose to take the old road of Jump.

Put the story development and character growth in a grand and complicated pattern, and discuss the fate of life and death, the end of ethnic politics and scientific and technological development, or the beginning of reshaping civilization like serious literature.

It doesn’t even have any brain-burning design of intrigue and infighting.

Similarly, the theatrical version of Infinite Train continues this feature well.

During the two-hour viewing,

Even in some ketchup pictures of PG12, what the work itself wants to convey can still be accurately grasped.

This may be another kind of warm-blooded feeling that directly hits people’s hearts besides the grand narrative of human destruction and religious philosophy.

Of course, if the above subjective views still can’t make you agree.

Then, at least in the film soundtrack, especially the tear killer and inflammation, I believe everyone can reach a consensus.

Whether it’s Sign, where the leaves of wood are flying, the fire is endless, or Fantasy of Tianma, where human beings can be very gentle and strong for love.

If you are very familiar with them, then the end of the next second grade may not seem too embarrassing.

Finally, I called the production team from a distance. Now that the theatrical version of the film has won the top spot, can we hurry up the trouble in the second season?

　　According to the "Program", we will focus on rectifying the following four kinds of illegal acts:

　　First, speculation in real estate, including manipulating house prices and rents, property hoarding, fabricating and spreading false information, creating the illusion of robbing houses, driving up house prices, and providing "down payment loans" in violation of regulations.

　　The above-mentioned four kinds of illegal acts are the focus of the special action of seven ministries and commissions, including the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, to control the chaos in the real estate market.

　　On June 28th this year, seven ministries and commissions, including the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, jointly issued a notice saying that from the beginning of July to the end of December 2018, a special campaign to control the chaos in the real estate market will be launched in 30 cities, including Beijing and Shanghai.

Jia Ling is at the road show in YOLO.

　　In the Spring Festival of 2024, there were 9 domestic films to meet the audience, 8 of which were released in the first day of the New Year. Comedy plays a leading role. Because there is no industrialized head film like The Wandering Earth in the previous two years, this year’s Spring Festival was once considered "not attractive enough". However, whether from the box office or the total number of games, this year’s Spring Festival file has refreshed the best results in the past.

　　According to the data released by the National Film Bureau on February 18th, the box office of the Spring Festival in 2024 (February 10th-February 17th) reached 8.016 billion yuan, exceeding the box office achievement of 7.842 billion yuan in the Spring Festival in 2021, setting a new box office record for the Spring Festival, with 163 million people watching movies. From the box office performance of a single film, YOLO leads the way, while Pegasus 2, Boonie Bears: Time Twist and Article 20 rank second to fourth respectively. At the same time, surprisingly, four films have announced their withdrawal from the Spring Festival, which is also rare.

　　Comedies dominate.

　　Spring Festival box office set a new record

　　In the Spring Festival of 2024, a total of nine films were released, namely: YOLO’s Pegasus 2, Boonie Bears: Time Twist, Article 20, Viva La Vida, The Movie Emperor, Huang Qi: the cat from heaven, the lower bound of the canopy of Bajie, and Breaking the War. All of them were domestic films, among which comedies dominated, and the audience’s desire to watch movies was more than in previous years.

　　According to the data released by the National Film Bureau on February 18th, the box office of the Spring Festival movie (February 10th-February 17th) reached 8.016 billion yuan, with 163 million people watching movies. The total box office score exceeded the box office score of 7.842 billion yuan in the Spring Festival in 2021, setting a new box office record for the Spring Festival in China film history. The total box office of the Spring Festival in 2023 was 6.765 billion yuan, and that of the Spring Festival in 2022 was 6.039 billion yuan.

　　In this year’s Spring Festival box office, YOLO (2.724 billion yuan), Pegasus 2 (2.403 billion yuan) and Boonie Bears: Time Twist (1.392 billion yuan) ranked among the top three in the box office list, which can be said to continue the top three patterns of last year’s Spring Festival box office: it is composed of two distinctive genre films and a children’s film, with genre films competing for hegemony and children’s films playing a stable role. Article 20 ranks fourth with a score of more than 1.342 billion yuan.

　　Judging from the douban score, YOLO’s Pegasus 2, Article 20 and Boonie Bears: Time Twist scored 8.0, 7.8, 7.7 and 6.9 respectively. The scores of the core films of the Spring Festival are all above 6.9, and there are many films with 8.0 points above and below, and their reputation is "all online".

　　Jia Ling Han Han leads the way.

　　Contribute more than 60% of the total box office

　　Jia Ling’s YOLO and Han Han’s Pegasus 2 contributed more than 60% of the total box office for the Spring Festival.

　　YOLO’s main theme is "Live for yourself once". The film is not only about losing 100 pounds, but also about an ordinary woman’s self-awakening and finding the value and direction of life. Pegasus 2, directed by Han Han and starring Shen Teng, is regarded as a qualitative leap over the previous film Flying Life, which was released in 2019. The film is about middle-aged men’s dreams and nostalgia. There are no female characters in the film. Han Han tells stories with the theme of racing that he is good at. The plot of the film is complete, with laughter and blood, and there are also realistic and ideal dilemmas that people face in middle age.

　　YOLO has become the biggest winner during the Spring Festival in 2024, and whether it can finally break through the box office performance of 5.413 billion yuan in Hi, Mom remains to be continued by the follow-up marketing and market reaction.

　　Pegasus 2 is director Han Han’s fourth work. It led the box office in the Spring Festival on the first day, but it was overtaken by YOLO the next day, and finally won the second place in the Spring Festival box office. The total box office in the mainland is expected to reach 3.5 billion yuan. "Four Seas", which was also directed by Han Han and released in the Spring Festival in 2021, earned only 542 million yuan at the box office, resulting in a loss for the producers and a bad reputation. In contrast, Pegasus 2 delivered a good answer this time. According to Pegasus 2’s cost of 400 million yuan, if it finally reaches the box office of 3.5 billion yuan, it will bring about 200% revenue to investors.

　　Boonie Bears: Time Twist, the tenth big movie in the Bear Haunted series, took in nearly 1.4 billion yuan at the box office, ranking third after Pegasus 2 in YOLO. This achievement also broke the box office record of the Spring Festival cartoon, and related topics were also searched in Weibo.

　　The core audiences of the top four films at the box office are somewhat different. YOLO’s "Article 20" has more than 70% female audience, while "Pegasus 2" has a significantly higher proportion of male audience than other Spring Festival films, and "Boonie Bears: Time Twist" has the most prominent proportion of people over 40.

　　Four films were withdrawn from the archives.

　　Or because it does not fit the festive atmosphere of the Spring Festival file.

　　At 23: 00 on February 16th, the movie "The Movie Emperor" was announced in Weibo, officially withdrawing from the Spring Festival. Weibo wrote: "The Movie Emperor" is a minimalist absurd comedy, a complete work because of communication with the audience. Thanks to the audience who have already watched this film, I also hope that we can meet you who are willing to complete this work with us at a more appropriate time. " According to the data of Cat’s Eye Professional Edition, as of 13:40 on February 17th, the cumulative box office of this film was 83.435 million yuan, ranking sixth among the eight films released on New Year’s Day. This is the third film of the Spring Festival in 2024 that announced the withdrawal of the file.

　　In the Douban score, The Movie Emperor scored 6.8. In the highly praised comments, some netizens wrote: "It’s too abstract to spend two hours listening to the stars who earn 2.08 million yuan a day during the New Year."

　　On February 14th, the film Viva La Vida directed by Han Yan and starring Peng Yuchang and Li Gengxi was the first to announce its withdrawal from the Spring Festival, and it was rescheduled for March 30th. On February 16th, the animated film Huang Qi: The God of Wealth Cat announced "See you again in the Jianghu". As of press time, the box office of Viva La Vida exceeded 96.25 million yuan, and the box office of Huang Qi: The God of Wealth Cat was 921,600 yuan.

　　As the main producer of "Viva La Vida", Lianrui Film said that there was a major mistake in the selection of the schedule. Viva La Vida tells the story of two seriously ill young people with different personalities-Lu Tu (Peng Yuchang) and Ling Min (Li Gengxi). Because of the agreement of "relay for life", they mistakenly embarked on a healing journey full of love and strength. Although in the previous marketing, "Shake the Sun" has tried to rely on warmth, courage and optimism, the festive atmosphere of the Spring Festival file has made many moviegoers reluctant to choose "Shake the Sun".

　　At 11: 00 on February 17th, the film "The Lower Bound of the Eight Rings" officially announced that it would withdraw from the Spring Festival file and postpone its release. It is reported that since the film was released, the cumulative box office has reached 3.227 million yuan.

　　For the reasons for the withdrawal of four films, on February 17, some insiders analyzed the Huaxi Dushi Bao and cover journalists. First of all, the publicity investment was not in place. For example, the video marketing in YOLO, Jia Ling was overwhelming, and it was difficult not to attract people into the theater; Secondly, the box office is far from what expected, so we have to wait for the right schedule. However, it is still unknown whether the selection of the above films for shifting gears is correct. Last year’s Spring Festival movie "China Ping-Pong Fight Back" was also released again after it was withdrawn, but the box office after the re-release was only 100 million yuan.

　　The Spring Festival in 2024 has ended. Which movies have you watched and which movies have you been moved by? Before the end of March, there will be imported films such as Godzilla vs. king kong 2, The Trial of Falling in Dune: Part Two and Kung fu panda 4, and domestic films such as You Lost by me and Viva La Vida, which will be released and feasted on the big screen, waiting for the audience to enter the cinema for tasting.

　　Huaxi Dushi Bao-Cover Journalist Qin Zhou According to the film

"Walking with Hui" was officially launched a few days ago. Not only was the live broadcast room very lively, but also its popularity exploded. At the peak, the number of online users was as high as 1.7 million, the number of fans increased by more than 3 million, and the sales revenue exceeded 100 million.

The characteristic of Dong Yuhui’s goods is not just to say "link", but to tell knowledge and stories in the live broadcast room. Dong Yuhui has connotation, full of ink, which makes him numerous (collectively: mother-in-law).

Recently, when Lei Jiayin attended an activity, he teased himself that he was depressed at first, but he was defeated by his nonsense when he first arrived at the live broadcast room of "Walking with Hui". Of course, when you watch the live broadcast, you can buy what you want. This is what you love and live. Look at the way he holds a big head. Does he not believe in his mother-in-law’s "spending power"?

Interestingly, Lei Jiayin said a very sensitive topic that everyone wanted to know. He said: Last time I wrote privately to Dong Yuhui, what was the annual salary for working in their company? Lei Jiayin’s simple sentence really caught everyone’s gossip. Dong Yuhui answered him humorously: coming to the interview is a bonus. As for the annual salary, you can talk to your boss. Of course, I believe that our boss will tighten his belt, and he will immediately nod his head and agree to join you when he eats 1: 1 rice every meal.

From the conversation between Lei Jiayin and Dong Yuhui, it can be seen that their EQ is very high, and joking is a joke, so stop at the moment. Most importantly, they know how to grasp their emotions and make the whole chat atmosphere relaxed and happy. Being able to achieve such an effect shows that their relationship is unusual.

Last year, Lei Jiayin went to Dong Yuhui’s live broadcast room, one dressed in purple and the other in red, which was called "Big Red and Big Purple" by netizens. I feel very cordial from the chat between the two people. Lei Jiayin’s thinking is clear and meaningful, but he doesn’t forget to promote his movie "Exchange Life". The two people didn’t mention the sale of movie tickets in the chat, but in the end they sold 130,000 copies.

In 2024, Lei Jiayin and Jia Ling starred in the film YOLO, which was officially released on the first day of the year. From the trailer, Jia Ling plays Du Leying and Lei Jiayin plays Hao Kun, a boxing coach. Du Leying is a very obese person and needs to lose weight. Hao Kun’s training with her as a coach was very hard, but the scene made people laugh. All in all, from the exposed pictures, the two people contributed a lot of jokes.

Jia Ling revealed: YOLO is not a simple boxing slimming inspirational film, but also stories about friendship, family and love. Jia Ling is a comedian, and when the film is released, it will definitely bring a lot of joy to the audience.

A few days ago, Jia Ling posted on the social platform that she had successfully lost 100 pounds. After this amazing news came out, she quickly boarded the hot search list and won high attention. As it happens, the film she starred in was ready to be released, which earned a wave of attention.

Speaking of this year’s Spring Festival, there are two films released in Lei Jiayin, and the other one is "Article 20" directed by Zhang Yimou. In recent years, the Spring Festival in Lei Jiayin has been staged one after another. In 2022, it starred in the TV series "In the World", in 2023, it starred in "Man Jiang Hong" and "Exchange Life". This shows that Lei Jiayin is very lucky and rich in resources. Either starring in the works directed by the great director or starring in the explosive drama series, the audience has a good relationship and can win awards.

It is obvious to the naked eye that the development of Lei Jiayin’s performing arts industry has hardly stagnated in recent years, and it is rich in resources and contacts.

In September last year, a gossip reporter broke the news that Lei Jiayin had evaded taxes. When the news came out, it immediately caused an uproar. Later, this reporter deleted this message. It seems that the news of Lei Jiayin’s tax evasion is not true. It has long been known that stars have a strong ability to attract gold. As long as they have enough self-discipline and do what they should do, they are not worried about intentional attacks and slanders from outside.

Guangzhou people’s sense of ceremony for the New Year begins with "off-year", such as thanking the stove, boiling oil in wok, steaming cakes, washing sloppy clothes, and sticking out the spring to bid farewell to the old year and welcome the new year. Every day, there are different arrangements. Lunar New Year is a very important folk festival in China, also known as the Festival of Sacrificing Kitchen, the Festival of Kitchen King and the Day of Cleaning Dust. Interestingly, the dates of such an important folk festival vary from region to region. The northern part of the country celebrates the Lunar New Year on the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, while the southern part celebrates the Lunar New Year on the 24th of the twelfth lunar month, and the customs and habits of the northern and southern parts of the country are different. Guangfu people also attach great importance to the nodes of the 23rd and 24th of the twelfth lunar month-recently, in an interview with reporters, Rao Yuansheng, a special researcher of Guangzhou Development Research Institute of Guangzhou University and director of Guangzhou Folk Culture Research Institute, said that from the traditional customs, Guangfu people have to thank and send stoves these two days. "The relevant customs of thanking stoves have always existed, and the completion of this ceremony means officially entering the rhythm of resigning the old and welcoming the new." After the off-year, the north and the south are very different. They worship the kitchen god in the off-year and look forward to the Spring Festival. As a prelude to the Spring Festival, "offering sacrifices to the stove to enter the new year", which is called "off-year" in the north, is usually regarded as the beginning of a busy year. In the pre-Qin period, the sacrificial stove was always in summer, and it was a celebration for Zhu Rong, the god of fire. It is a custom only in the Jin Dynasty to move the day of offering sacrifices to stoves to the twelfth lunar month. "Qing Jia Lu" quoted the local customs in the Jin and Zhou Dynasties as saying: "The 24th day of the twelfth lunar month is dedicated to the kitchen …" According to records, from the Song Dynasty to the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month was regarded as a small year in both north and south. Taking the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month as a small year, it appeared in the late Ming Dynasty and was first popular in some northern areas. By the Qing Dynasty,The custom of celebrating the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month is popular among the people in the north. With the passage of time, the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month is gradually regarded as a small year in the northern region, while the 24th of the twelfth lunar month is mostly regarded as a small year in the southern region. Due to different local customs, the time of off-year is not absolutely unified. Moreover, different regions and customs are different. Sacrificing stoves in the off-year is a common custom in the south and the north. "Explanation of Names" says: "Cooking stoves creates food." In myths and legends, the duty of the kitchen god is to take charge of the kitchen fire and manage the diet. Sacrificial stoves are endowed with a beautiful meaning of praying for the safety of the whole family and happiness in the coming year. We have to sweep the dust on the day of the sacrifice. Northerners call it "sweeping the house" and southerners call it "dusting". According to the folk saying, "dust" is homophonic with "Chen", so sweeping dust is also called "sweeping Chen", sweeping away old things, which means not only cleaning up the old dirt in the courtyard, but also cleaning up the unhappiness encountered in the old year. In terms of customs, the difference is that the north eats jiaozi and stick grilles, while the south eats stove candy. "Seeing jiaozi off on the windward side" is a common saying in the north. jiaozi almost never misses every festival in the north, and off-year is no exception. Jiaozi takes the meaning of "alternating the old with the new, making friends at a younger age". During the Spring Festival, jiaozi is an indispensable food on the table of every household. In northern China, people are used to eating jiaozi at night. Cutting window grilles is also one of the most important folk activities in northern China, mostly to prepare for the New Year. The window grilles contain all kinds of animals, plants and other anecdotes. Under everyone’s skillful hands, the magpie climbed the branches of Chimonanthus praecox and the swallow jumped onto the peach branches.The lion is busy rolling hydrangeas … These window grilles with auspicious and beautiful meanings are pasted on doors and windows to pray for happiness in the coming year. In the south, we eat stove candy on off-year days. Cooking sugar often takes corn, millet, rice and barley malt as raw materials, and after several processes such as boiling sugar, kneading sugar and pulling sugar, it is finished by covering its surface with sesame seeds. Legend has it that everyone hopes that inviting Kitchen God to eat sweets can make him put in a good word. In addition, there are many different off-year customs all over China. Popcorn candy is a special food in Jingan, Jiangxi Province. On this day of off-year, the local people will make popcorn candy with maltose and popcorn, which means a great fortune and a happy life in the new year. In Fuzhou, sugar cane is an essential food for offering sacrifices to stoves. Taking its meaning of "increasing day by day", we will get a good start for the new year. Whether it is the 23rd or 24th of the twelfth lunar month, it is a custom to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new, and it is also a good hope for the coming year. Although the days are different and the customs are different, regardless of the north and the south, everyone hopes that the new year will be healthy and safe. People in Guangzhou don’t celebrate off-year holidays? In fact, the custom of "Xie Zao" has been circulating! Some people in Guangzhou said that "Winter is the New Year", and the family had a grand time on the winter solstice, but "Laba" and "Xiao Nian" did not seem to be impressed. Is it true that people in Guangzhou don’t celebrate off-year holidays? In this regard, as a well-known scholar of Guangfu culture, Rao Yuansheng believes that Guangzhou people may not pay special attention to the concept of "off-year", but it does not mean that everyone does not pay attention to the twenty-third and twenty-fourth days of the twelfth lunar month. "From the traditional customs, Guangfu people have to thank and send stoves these two days.Therefore, this node is also very important for Guangzhou people-after completing the ceremony of thanking the stove, it will enter the rhythm of resigning the old and welcoming the new. " Rao Yuansheng told reporters that regarding the custom of thanking and sending stoves, "in fact, it has been circulated all the time." Food is the most important thing for the people, and eating is regarded as a big thing. In ancient times, it was said that the kitchen god was responsible for managing the kitchen fires of various families. Before the Chinese New Year, the kitchen god had to report to heaven on his work, so it became an important ceremony to thank and send the kitchen. "On this day, everyone should prepare some tributes, including a bowl of rice, two pieces of sugar, a letter of profit, a bowl of clear water, a piece of roast pork, some sugarcane, oranges, paper money, etc., and do enough courtesy. In addition, there is some maltose-folklore hopes that the kitchen god will say more sweet words and good deeds after eating dessert to ensure the peace of the kitchen in the coming year. " "Guangfu people’s’ Xie Zao’ is a must, at least a good meal, eating chicken, eating roast meat, etc." Rao Yuansheng believes that there have been different opinions on whether to hold the ceremony to thank the kitchen stove on the 23rd or 24th of the twelfth lunar month. "There is a folk saying that’ officials, three people and four people are responsible for the kitchen stove’, which means that in ancient times, the official family began to thank the kitchen stove on the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, the people were responsible for the 24th of the twelfth lunar month, and it was the turn of the kitchen stove family (water residents) on the 25th of the twelfth lunar month". As for why the ceremony of "thanking the stove" seems to be gradually forgotten by everyone, Rao Yuansheng said that it may be related to social development. "In the past, every household had a stove, but now everyone uses a gas stove and an induction cooker. In this environment, the scene is missing, and this ceremony is slowly omitted." Beautiful traditional customs,Like the gentle breeze and drizzle affecting every generation, Rao Yuansheng introduced that after "thanking the stove", every day has different arrangements: at the age of 23, the clothes are washed; At the age of 24, clean the side of the house; At the age of 25, sweep the house and dust; At the age of 26, clean the poultry house; At the age of 27, the inside and outside are washed into one; At the age of twenty-eight, wipe the furniture; At the age of 29, all the sundries were moved away. On the 23rd and 24th of the twelfth lunar month, we have to thank the stove, wash bask in the quilt and clothes, and the family begins to prepare for the New Year. We also have to have a toothache and have a good meal. After Xie Zao, in addition to continuing to clean, we have to "blow up". "Boil the wok!" Many people in Guangzhou follow the tradition of making "oilers", that is, frying oil horns, frying piles, scattered eggs, smiling dates, sugar rings, salty water horns, red bean paste horns and other cakes, which are crispy and delicious, with beautiful meanings. "I remember that when I was a child, we not only helped my family to make oil angle, make scattered eggs and cut cow ear cakes, but also went to my classmates’ homes to help. I was very happy." Rao Yuansheng said, "Fried piles are full of gold and silver" and "Fried piles in the evening, people have me", and fried piles are essential. "Open oil wok" fried oil angle Qing Dynasty "Yuedong Notes" recorded that there was a kind of food fried in Guangzhou during the Qianlong period. "The custom of Guangzhou was that the glutinous rice valley was fierce and hot at the end of the year, and it was called Paogu, which thought that fried piles were trapped in the heart; For those who fry piles, glutinous rice flour is used as the size circle to add oil effect, so as to give sacrifices to relatives and friends first, and then glutinous rice is used to make pig flowers into oil frying, which is called ten flowers; Stir-fried with powdered white sugar sand in pig oil, named Shayong. " But because eating these "oilers" will "get angry",In addition, it is very convenient to buy seasonal food now, so there are fewer and fewer neighborhoods that "boil oil" at home. In the twelfth lunar month, every household is busy steaming cakes. Besides steamed rice cakes, people in Guangzhou also like to make radish cakes, water chestnut cake cakes and nine-layer cakes. The word "cake" and "high" are homonyms, which means "step by step in the Spring Festival". Roll up your sleeves and clean up, bid farewell to the old year and welcome the new year. There is a common saying in Guangzhou that "cleaning the house on 26th and washing it on 27th", and there is also a tradition of "washing untidiness on 28th", that is, carrying out general cleaning around 28th of the twelfth lunar month. It is said that the origin of this custom can be traced back to the Shang and Zhou Dynasties. The Book of Building a House in Secret Austria records that "the ditches are clear, the houses are clean, there is no foul gas and no plague". The Qing Dynasty’s Qing Jia Lu even suggested that "La will be disabled, so it is advisable to choose a constitutional book (referring to the almanac) to sweep away the house and go to the court for dust and filth, or on the 23rd, 24th and 27th, it is vulgar to beat Ai Chen." In addition to cleaning the house, this custom has another meaning, which means to "sweep" all bad luck and mildew out of the house, pinning people’s desire to break new ground and create new things, and praying for a new atmosphere in the new year. On the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, after cleaning the house, the industrious Guangzhou people are busy, posting Spring Festival couplets at home, representing going to the old and welcoming the new year. People in Guangzhou call Spring Festival couplets "waving spring". There are many styles of waving spring, besides the word "Fu" which means "Happiness is at the door", there are all kinds of Chinese characters waving spring for good luck in the New Year, such as "heavenly god blesses the people", "Happy New Year", "Everything wins", "Go in and out safely" and "Congratulations on making a fortune".Auspicious words such as "the mountains, the sun and the moon are long". On New Year’s Eve, have a reunion dinner together. Lunar New Year’s Eve is also called New Year’s Eve, and Guangzhou is commonly known as "New Year’s Eve". People in Guangzhou will have a neat family dinner, which means reunion. Cantonese-style reunion dinner must be served in even numbers, and the dishes are also very knowledgeable. There must be several ingredients on the dinner table that symbolize good omen for the reunion dinner: chicken (Guangzhou people often say "no feast without chicken"), fish (more than every year), pig’s hand (making a fortune), lettuce (making a fortune), roasted meat (being strong and healthy), Nostoc flagelliforme and oyster sauce (making a fortune), vermicelli (continuous) and yuba (rich and sweet) "Selling laziness" means selling children’s laziness and being smarter and more clever in the new year. Rao Yuansheng said that after listening to the old people, they had to do one thing when they were young, that is, call friends and friends to "sell laziness". Each child took a lantern and a red egg, lit a wick of incense, and went to the streets and lanes to sing: "Sell laziness, sell it at the end of the year, people are lazy and I am not lazy!" The children sang and walked to the land temple in groups and sold "lazy" to the land temple. However, many children don’t know the annual custom of "selling laziness" now. "Washing sloppy clothes, steaming rice cakes, pasting spring flowers, buying new shirts, and buying New Year flowers … When I was a child, I prepared for the New Year with my family. Now I take my children to say goodbye to the old year and welcome the new year. The’ taste of the year’ in Guangzhou has always warmed me." On social media, many neighborhoods feel that traditional customs are "interesting" and "unforgettable". Rao Yuansheng said: "Many beautiful traditional customs affect every generation like a gentle breeze and drizzle.We hope that good customs can be passed down, and everyone will have a better Spring Festival and be closer to life in Chinese. ". These folk customs "sense of ceremony" are indispensable. "The whole person is super happy at the thought of going to the flower street this year!" As a young "Guangzhou boy", the netizen "A Le" said that he had been shopping with his family since he was a child. "The flavor of Guangzhou may be in that pot of flowers." There are also "new Guangzhou people" who say that the biggest impression of Guangfu’s annual taste is "Italian head". "Isn’t this the homophonic stalk of Guangzhou?" Very interesting. " In Guangzhou, the traditional Chinese New Year folk custom, which is full of "sense of ceremony", has promoted the rise of fireworks in the city. Sticking the word "Fu" is particular. Besides waving spring, on New Year’s Eve, everyone likes to stick a word "Fu" at the door. Many people like to paste the word "Fu" upside down, but Rao Yuansheng reminds everyone that there is another saying, "The word" Fu "at the gate cannot be pasted upside down, but should be pasted right now. If you want to paste the blessing on the trash can and water tank, you can paste it backwards, because the trash can and water tank are to be’ inverted’. " Writing about the Spring Festival couplets’ Flower Street Universiade "Spring Festival Evening, Flower Street, Spring Blossoms Full of Rows, Thousands of Flowers Blooming …" This well-known Guangzhou folk song describes the scene of a family, old and young, walking in the flower street. "Not going to the flower market is not a New Year". For Guangzhou people, it is only a complete trip to the flower market before the Spring Festival, which means "going to the Universiade" in the New Year. When walking in the flower street, Guangzhou people like to buy flowers and windmills. Among them, the windmill symbolizes the wind and water in the New Year, and the annual flowers mainly refer to the flowers that should be celebrated.There are traditional peonies, daffodils, chrysanthemums, cockscomb flowers, silver willows, etc., and there are also Phalaenopsis, lilies, peonies, roses, Belgian rhododendrons, roses, etc. that have emerged in recent years. Peach blossom and New Year’s orange are even more indispensable-Cantonese "red peach" and "grand plan" are homonyms, so buy peach blossom and hope to "make great achievements"; The New Year’s Orange symbolizes good luck. Ornaments and red envelopes are hung on the New Year’s Orange to create a beautiful holiday atmosphere. Rao Yuansheng revealed that the flower market is downstairs. "Don’t look at the sea of flowers and crowds on New Year’s Eve. When I woke up at the beginning of the year, the whole city miraculously returned to the tranquility of life, and the flowers were transferred to thousands of households. This is the time to witness the miracle, and it is also a very hard time for sanitation workers. For the common sense of ceremony, many people are silently contributing. " The meaning of "meaning head" in Cantonese is similar to the meaning of "color head" in Mandarin, and everything should be auspicious. Rao Yuansheng introduced that Guangzhou people should buy sugar cane with a head and a tail during the Chinese New Year, and buy lettuce with roots, all of which are part of the "talking about meaning". "I remember when I was a child, I had to put two fried shad in the rice jar, covered with two pieces of red paper and put two oranges, which meant that there was more than one year." Rao Yuansheng said that in the old days, people in Guangfu still had the tradition of "celebrating the year". In addition to shad, they also had to buy a whole cane, and lettuce, celery, red onion and garlic with roots were put in a rice jar full of rice, which respectively represented "having a head and a tail" and "weighing the cane" (Cantonese, meaning that things were going very smoothly.Some of these behaviors are exquisite. When we were young, our parents always told us to "don’t talk nonsense" during the Spring Festival, and some behaviors were also exquisite during the Spring Festival. Avoid unlucky words. In terms of speech, unlucky words should be avoided as much as possible during the Chinese New Year. In addition, the New Year’s atmosphere is jubilant, and people will think that children’s crying is inconsistent with the atmosphere, so when the New Year comes, parents usually don’t severely reprimand their children and try not to affect the jubilant atmosphere. Sweeping in does not sweep out the cleaning before the Spring Festival. According to the custom, when cleaning, you should sweep the door first, preferably in the order from outside to inside, from roof to underground, from hall to kitchen. Remember not to sweep from the inside out, especially don’t sweep the garbage directly out of the hall. Moreover, on New Year’s Day, we also pay attention to not sweeping the floor, so as not to sweep away all the "wealth" of the new year. At the end of the twelfth lunar month, it is a happy day for the whole family. Everyone hopes to be safe, healthy and healthy. The traditional concept is that it is best not to travel far at this time, and the family is round and round.

Special feature of 1905 film network The New Year’s Day slot ended with a total box office of 1.02 billion, but the afterheat of four main films of the New Year’s Day slot still lingered. In the next two weeks, we ushered in a number of new films of different types to be centrally booked as the transition period after the New Year’s Day slot. Will the "post-New Year’s Day slot" make a good start for the upcoming Spring Festival slot?

Every year, there is a slot between New Year’s Day and Spring Festival, which is close to one month. This slot is not popular in the traditional sense, but as a transition between the two big slots, many films with relatively less outstanding sales will choose to be released at this time.

Wu Yanyu, a film critic, mentioned: "Last year and the year before last, many domestic films were in a state of backlog, which was a stock, and it was also a storage period, so many films would choose to be released at this time. These films may be’ small and beautiful’ and don’t expect to be an explosion, but you can take a look at this schedule. "

Because it is during the winter vacation, the largest number of films released after the New Year’s Day this year are cartoons, such as those produced by Disney, and animated movies that have assembled many classic animated images in China.

For the "off-season" of this film market, there are also many small and medium-sized films, which are chosen to be released at this time: for example, the film with the theme of Northeast China, the first Chaoshan family comedy film, and the film focusing on ice and snow sports.

Among many films, as the first Hollywood blockbuster in the new year, it was the first to announce the final file, and now the number of people who want to see it has reached hundreds of thousands. The IP "Matrix" has a broad audience base, and it is also the only Hollywood blockbuster in this schedule. Can "Matrix Restart" set off a movie-watching craze?

Wu Yanyu is not optimistic about the box office performance of "The Matrix Restart": "On the one hand, the word-of-mouth of the film has slightly collapsed overseas, on the other hand, it has chosen a very bold distribution method, and the network is synchronized. This time, basically, it can be said that the bottom has been seen overseas, but because the audience base is indeed relatively large, the basic film should still be able to be maintained. It is really difficult to predict whether more people can enter the cinema by word of mouth. "

Every year after the New Year’s Day, New Year’s Day movies are the main growth force of the box office. This year, both "Hug You Through the Winter" and "Hug You Through the Winter" have a strong box office appeal, including the fact that the film continues to release materials on Tik Tok and other social platforms. It can be seen that the film still hopes to get more long tail effects in the future.

At the same time, the Spring Festival movies can be said to be menacing. So far, eight films of different types have been booked for the Spring Festival, and then there will definitely be a flood of promotional materials, which will impact the popularity of the films released in mid-January to some extent.

Huang Xiaomin, deputy director of the marketing department of UME Film Group, a Chinese cultural cinema line, mentioned the film arrangement in this schedule: "It will be relatively stable after New Year’s Day and before the Spring Festival. Now, January is definitely dominated by richness, and Hollywood blockbusters will definitely give themselves a reasonable space, especially on weekends. In terms of film arrangement, it will also give the family audience a certain space, and more customers will put the viewing opportunity on the Spring Festival later. "

For films after New Year’s Day, it is actually better for the overall market if the market can keep the two movie-watching enthusiasm of New Year’s Day and Spring Festival in a relatively stable state. However, from the perspective of the overall film market and the broader market, it is not the big schedule that leads to high box office, but there are also excellent films between the big schedule and the big schedule, and there are also relatively less cold market situations, which is more beneficial to the China film market.

　　Xinhua News Agency "Xinhua Viewpoint" reporter

　　For Chinese, the New Year’s Eve is the brightest "peak moment" of the Spring Festival — — All the hard work and thoughts in a year are sitting around and enjoying the delicious moment, which turns into deep affection and happiness.

　　How much did you spend on the New Year’s Eve dinner in 2018? Where did you eat? What’s the food? On New Year’s Eve, "Xinhua Viewpoint" reporters investigated the New Year’s Eve of different groups all over the country.

　　How much does it cost: Most people in Beishangguang are from 100 yuan to 150 yuan.

　　At 7 o’clock in the evening on New Year’s Eve, a restaurant in Beijing was packed with guests, and a family raised their glasses frequently. Some individual passengers in the lobby are still waiting in line to get the number, and the waiter who is too busy to touch the ground said that there are still 8 tables waiting in line in front.

　　According to the survey of China Cuisine Association, the overall booking rate of New Year’s Eve dinner this year has increased steadily compared with last year. It is expected that the catering market will achieve double-digit growth during the Spring Festival Golden Week this year. Wu Ying, deputy secretary-general of China Cuisine Association, said: "The overall price of New Year’s Eve dinner is basically the same as last year, with a slight increase."

　　The reporter’s investigation found that in first-tier cities such as Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, a table for 10 people is basically 2,000 yuan, and the per capita "starting price" is from 100 yuan to 150 yuan, and the highest is to 300 yuan.

　　"The price has not risen this year, and the per capita cost is more than 200 yuan in 150 yuan." Wang Hongqing, deputy general manager of Tongchunyuan, a Beijing time-honored brand, said that there were more bookings of 1,888 yuan and 2,388 yuan.

　　The price of New Year’s Eve in second-tier cities is not low. In Changchun, the price of the New Year’s Eve dinner package for 10 to 12 people is mostly from 800 yuan to 2,000 yuan, and the average person spends it from 80 yuan to 180 yuan.

　　In some big cities, a few high-end consumers make an appointment with chefs to cook New Year’s Eve dinner. According to the number and difficulty of dishes, the per capita cost is between 400 yuan and 500 yuan in 1000 yuan.

　　In addition, this year’s New Year’s Eve dinner has a new feature. "The booking of semi-finished New Year’s Eve dinner has grown rapidly." Wu Ying said that some citizens prefer to buy semi-finished products, and after a little processing at home, they can taste dishes that are not easy to cook. This year’s semi-finished New Year’s Eve dinner is expected to increase by more than 10%, and the per capita consumption is mostly from 50 yuan to 100 yuan.

　　It is understood that Beijing Tongchunyuan has prepared 400 semi-finished products, including 6 meat dishes, bean bags, Huangqiao biscuits and other staple foods, with prices ranging from 288 yuan to 498 yuan; Tongheju has booked more than 800 semi-finished products, more than double that of last year.

　　"In my impression, I started to go to the restaurant for dinner in the mid-1990s. Since 1995, I have never been home before 9 o’clock on New Year’s Eve. " Wang Hongqing said that in the 1990 s, each table of New Year’s Eve dinner was two or three hundred yuan, which was almost half a month’s salary of the working class.

　　Zhang Fangzhong, technical director of Huajia Yiyuan’s production department, said that in the 1990s, people who went out to eat New Year’s Eve had good economic conditions. After 2000, ordinary consumers began to eat New Year’s Eve outside. At that time, the better restaurants had a table of 688 yuan and 888. The main dishes are elbow, whole fish, whole chicken and lion’s head. After about 2005, many ordinary families began to eat New Year’s Eve in star-rated hotels.

　　In contrast, eating at home is more economical. Liu Yanming, a citizen of Changchun, said that he bought elbow, shrimp, fish and other high-grade ingredients and wine, and the average person counted about 70 to 80 yuan.

　　On the dinner table of Zhou Duchun, a poor household in Hengnan County, Hengyang City, Hunan Province, even the raw materials came from his own home. There are bean curd made from beans in the field, fried fish, braised pork and fried chicken, totaling more than 30 yuan. The old man’s daughter and son-in-law are working outside, so they can’t go home this year. The local government sent grain, oil and rice noodles to the old man years ago.

　　Where to eat New Year’s Eve: The number of people eating out is increasing, and the proportion of first-and second-tier cities is higher than that of third-and fourth-tier cities.

　　According to the survey of China Cuisine Association, the number of people who choose to eat out for New Year’s Eve dinner is increasing all over the country, and the proportion of eating out in first-and second-tier cities is higher than that in third-and fourth-tier cities. In addition, popularization and popularization are the mainstream.

　　In Beijing, time-honored brands and branded restaurants are favored. Some time-honored brands have to book more than half a year in advance before they can have private rooms, and they have to turn over two or three tables a night. Many repeat customers booked this year’s dinner last year. However, some people want to eat something different from usual on this day, so some ethnic catering and western food are also booked hot.

　　The Pearl River Night Tour "Water New Year’s Eve Dinner" launched by Guangzhou Passenger Shipping Company allows visitors to enjoy the night view of Guangzhou while enjoying the delicious New Year’s Eve dinner.

　　Calling "takeaway" at home is a prominent feature of this year’s New Year’s Eve dinner. Many take-away platforms have launched New Year’s Eve delivery services. According to the data of "Hungry" and Baidu Takeaway, in the past two or three years, take-away orders have increased rapidly during the Spring Festival, and the consumption power of second-and third-tier cities has improved significantly. The per capita consumption of Baidu takeaway has nearly doubled compared with usual, reaching 80 yuan to 90 yuan. According to the data of Meituan, in 2016 and 2017, the area with the highest single average price was Sanya, which was close to 150 yuan. The average cost of take-away orders on New Year’s Eve is nearly twice as high as usual.

　　New technology adds a new color to the New Year’s Eve dinner. In Beijing Box Horse Fresh Life Yizhuang Store, the staff told reporters that many citizens choose to eat New Year’s Eve here. "Buy and eat here, the picture is fresh!" Wu Feng, a customer who lives nearby, said that the ingredients here are all small packages, just like their own "big refrigerator", which can be delivered to the door in 30 minutes at the earliest.

　　The New Year’s Eve dinner on the trip and on the way home is also warm. On New Year’s Eve, at the Kaixuan Road Highway Passenger Station in Changchun, the staff delivered dumplings to the passengers. Jilin Branch of China Southern Airlines has increased on-board catering, including rice, noodles and jiaozi.

　　Of course, for many people, eating the family reunion dinner at home is still the deepest expectation and enjoyment. Ms. Lai, a migrant worker who has worked in Guangzhou for more than 10 years, returned to her hometown of Meixian, Guangdong for the New Year this year. She said that her 70-year-old mother-in-law looks forward to this day every year. She has to prepare a large family’s New Year’s Eve dinner, such as chicken, pigs, fish, vegetables, rice cakes, etc. In short, she has to make up 12 dishes, which means peace in the four seasons.

　　What to eat on New Year’s Eve: Traditional eating habits are still powerful.

　　Due to different customs and eating habits, New Year’s Eve dinners in different parts of China have different interests and are rich and colorful.

　　Cao Baoming, a folklorist and president of Jilin Food Culture Research Association, said that the New Year’s Eve dinner embodies Chinese’s long-standing annual culture, and each dish and collocation has its own unique cultural connotation. For example, in some places, there must be Chinese cabbage on the New Year’s Eve, which means "hundred treasures", leek means "long time", hot pot means "flourishing" and rice cake means "rising year by year".

　　Wang Peng, manager of a hotel in Wangtian ‘e New Village, Changbai County, Jilin Province, told the reporter that many southern tourists are very interested in the special New Year’s Eve dinner in Northeast China, and book the New Year’s Eve dinner in advance, such as classic dishes such as braised vegetables in cauldron, stewed pork vermicelli, and snacks such as sticky bean buns.

　　According to Alibaba’s "2018 China New Year Consumption Report", the local products with hometown flavor are mostly the favorite ingredients for New Year’s Eve dinner for consumers in various regions. For example, ham favored by consumers in East China, sausage favored by consumers in South China, sea cucumber and frozen shrimp favored by consumers in North China.

　　With the continuous improvement of living standards, people have more and more dishes on the dinner table, but the power of traditional eating habits is still strong.

　　In Guangzhou, traditional boiled chicken and winter melon porridge are still kept on the dinner table. "Unexpectedly, a pound of lion’s head and elbow is almost a must-have for every table." Zhang Fangzhong said that people still pay more attention to the sense of ceremony of New Year’s Eve.

　　In rural Henan, jiaozi eats meat stuffing on New Year’s Eve, and jiaozi eats vegetarian stuffing early in the morning. "Everyone in the village has to eat earlier than anyone else. When you go to jiaozi, you must set off firecrackers. Before you eat jiaozi, you must eat a mouthful of steamed bread, so that you will be strong in the coming year. " Gao Yong ‘an, an associate professor at Renmin University of China, said.

　　Wei Qi, a professor at the School of Philosophy and Social Development in northwest university of politics and law, said that people in their hometown should eat noodles on New Year’s Eve. Mother cooked chicken soup and rolled noodles, and then fried shredded chicken, kelp and daylily into a scorpion and poured it on the noodles. "What I miss most is the taste made by my mother."
