Deliberately making things difficult for the masses to ask poor households to buy high-grade commercial housing, and dozens of officials were punished.

  CCTV News:Since the beginning of this year, discipline inspection and supervision organs at all levels have conscientiously implemented the spirit of the important speech of the Supreme Leader General Secretary on tackling poverty and seriously investigated and dealt with corruption and work style in the field of poverty alleviation. A few days ago, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection publicly exposed eight typical cases. Judging from the contents of the circular, in the field of poverty alleviation, there are still problems such as embezzlement, bribery, false reporting, interception and misappropriation, extravagance and waste, eating and getting cards, and caring for relatives and friends.

 

  Deliberately making things difficult for people in need

  Dong Moumou, a villager from lizhuang village, damiao town, Xuzhou Economic and Technological Development Zone, Jiangsu Province, meets the requirements of five guarantees, and has repeatedly applied to the village committee for five guarantees. However, Li Bingchang, secretary of the Party branch and director of the village committee, refused to handle it for three years on the grounds that Dong’s younger brother gave birth to a second child without paying social support. Since then, the relevant departments have determined that Dong’s younger brother does not need to pay social support, and ordered lizhuang village to start Dong’s five-guarantee acceptance procedure. In December 2016, when the villagers’ representative meeting conducted a democratic evaluation of Dong’s five-guarantee application, Li Bingchang misled the representatives of the masses and deliberately misinterpreted Dong’s five-guarantee application as a low-guarantee application, which led to the failure of the appraisal. Li Bingchang was severely punished by the party.

  Households that have not yet been lifted out of poverty are "lifted out of poverty"

  In October 2016, in the poverty alleviation acceptance work of Sunfu Second Village, Liu Subing, deputy chief of the ship inspection unit of the Fishery Administration and Ship Inspection Bureau of Wuxue Fisheries Bureau of Hubei Province, and the first secretary of Sunfu Second Village in Shifosi Town, and Xiang Mingqiang, a staff member of the bureau, falsely reported that Sun Moumou’s income from raising chickens and pigs in that year was 8,018 yuan, which made Sun Moumou, who did not meet the poverty alleviation conditions, become a poverty-stricken household. Liu Subing and Xiang Mingqiang were respectively punished by warnings within the party.

  Dereliction of duty

  From May 2013 to January 2017, Xiaxi Township Government in Wanshan District, tongren city City, Guizhou Province, in the dynamic management of subsistence allowances, the information of low-income households in its jurisdiction was inaccurate, and the work was not detailed. The inspection was not carried out, and the relevant problems were not found. As a result, after the death of 46 villagers in the township, the subsistence allowances continued to be distributed, involving a total of more than 50,000 yuan. Yang Chao, member of the township party committee and deputy head of the township, and Lu Cancan, the head of the township human resources and social security service center, were given warnings by the party respectively.

  Misappropriation of subsistence allowance funds

  From November 2014 to July 2016, Suining County Civil Affairs Bureau and County Social Assistance Administration of Hunan Province misappropriated more than 1.4 million yuan of subsistence allowances to purchase and install electrical appliances and other equipment for 21 nursing homes, and did not organize inquiry or bidding according to regulations. The purchase price was significantly higher than the market price of similar goods. Peng Hui, head of the financial planning unit of the County Civil Affairs Bureau, received a total of 40,900 yuan in cash from suppliers five times, and Yu Meiying, director of the County Social Assistance Administration, received a total of 2,000 yuan in cash from suppliers twice. Peng Hui was expelled from the party and dismissed from public office, and her suspected crimes and clues were transferred to the judicial organs for legal treatment; Other responsible persons have also been dealt with.

  Defrauding subsidy funds for renovation of dangerous houses

  In November 2013, Ren Maoxian, the former secretary of the Party branch of Liuya Village, Xinglong Town, fengjie county, Chongqing, defrauded the D-level dilapidated house renovation subsidy of 13,500 yuan in the name of the village’s five-guarantee households without housing and disabled Su Moumou, and used it to build his own house. In 2015, under the recourse of Su Moumou, Ren Maoxian returned 13,500 yuan to Su Moumou. In the meantime, in order to cover up the problem that Su Moumou illegally enjoyed the subsidy funds for the renovation of dangerous houses without building a house or buying a house, Ren Maoxian fabricated a false purchase contract. Ren Maoxian was dismissed from his post within the party; Xiao Jian, member of the Propaganda Committee of Xinglong Town Party Committee, member of the United Front Work Committee and former director of the Town Municipal Planning and Construction Management Office, was severely warned by the party for dereliction of duty in examination and acceptance.

  Tampering with the list of subsidies for five-guarantee households and low-guarantee households, suspected of embezzling social assistance funds.

  From April to November, 2016, Liu Guocheng, a staff member of the Civil Affairs Bureau of xuyong county City, Sichuan Province, tampered with some information of the recipients three times when handling the replacement of the relief funds for low-income households and five-guarantee households, and replaced the bank account of the recipients with his mother’s bank account, which was suspected of embezzling social relief funds of 15,000 yuan. Liu Guocheng was expelled from the party, and his suspected crimes and clues were transferred to the judicial organs for legal treatment.

  Defrauding subsistence allowances

  In May 2013, Mai Zhiwei, the former member of the village committee of Yuangu Village, Yangqing Town, Suixi County, Guangdong Province, took advantage of his work to conceal his mother’s family members and family income, and filled in false application materials to defraud his mother of the minimum living allowance of 2,616 yuan. In addition, from 2013 to 2015, the village illegally assessed 63 low-income households, involving more than 100,000 yuan of low-income subsidy funds. In February 2017, the Supervision Branch of the Fifth Commission for Discipline Inspection of the Supervision Bureau of the County Commission for Discipline Inspection conducted an investigation based on reports from the masses, but the work was not in-depth and no existing problems were found. Mai Zhiwei was punished by staying in the party for one year, and Liang Long, then secretary of the village party branch, was dismissed from his post in the party. Xu Slow Tsai, then deputy secretary of the village party branch, Xu Kangrui, a member of the village Committee, and Liang Shuwang, a village cadre, were severely punished by the party. Yongxian Liu, secretary and director of the Supervision Branch of the Fifth Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision of the County Commission for Discipline Inspection, was given disciplinary warning by the Party.

  Help developers sell houses and relocate the relocated people to high-end residential areas without authorization.

  From 2012 to 2015, in the process of ex situ poverty alleviation and relocation in Hualong County, Haidong City, Qinghai Province, Tam Xiang, former deputy secretary of the county party committee and county magistrate, decided to buy 500 sets of commercial houses without research and demonstration, submitted to the county government executive meeting and the standing committee of the county party committee for study, without bidding, and without considering the financial ability of poor relocated households and their subsequent living security. The purchase price of each household ranged from 260,000 yuan to 380,000 yuan, and the government provided 50,000 yuan subsidies to the buyers. In March 2015, Ma Jinxing, then deputy secretary of the county party committee and county magistrate, adopted the same method to add 130 relocated households. Accordingly, Hualong County allocated 31.5 million yuan for ex situ poverty alleviation, relocation and renovation of dilapidated buildings to a real estate company in violation of regulations. The company allocated 50,000 yuan per set to the total price of commercial housing to deduct the house payment for promotion. The county government changed from helping poor households to helping real estate companies to promote the sale of houses. As identified by the relevant departments, 232 of the 630 relocated households are non-poor households, enjoying or defrauding government subsidies of 11.6 million yuan in violation of regulations. Luo Wenxiang was expelled from the Party and dismissed from the administrative post; Ma Jinxing was dismissed from the Party and dismissed from the administrative post; Ma Qianli, deputy director of the Finance, Economy and Urban Construction Committee of Haidong Municipal People’s Congress and former deputy magistrate of Hualong County, was severely warned by the Party; and Ma Haifeng, party secretary and director of the County Poverty Alleviation and Development Bureau, was dismissed from the Party and dismissed from the administrative post. Hualong county Committee lacks leadership responsibility for ex situ poverty alleviation and relocation; Haidong City Commission for Discipline Inspection failed to fulfill its supervisory responsibility and went through the motions in the initial nuclear clue to this problem.The verification conclusion is seriously inaccurate; The supervision and inspection of Hualong County Commission for Discipline Inspection is a mere formality, and no serious violations of discipline and discipline have been found in the implementation of ex situ poverty alleviation and relocation projects in this county. Zhu Hong, Party Secretary and Director of the Standing Committee of Haidong Municipal People’s Congress, former Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and Secretary of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, Zeng Zhijun, Director of Grassland Division of Qinghai Provincial Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Department and former secretary of Hualong County Committee, were severely punished by the party respectively; Tao Yongsheng, Deputy Secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection of Haidong City, Han Yuying, Vice Chairman of the Federation of Trade Unions of Haidong City, former member of the Standing Committee of the County Committee of Hualong County and secretary of the County Discipline Inspection Commission, were respectively punished by the party.

  While reporting typical cases, the relevant person in charge of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection also stressed that discipline inspection and supervision organs at all levels should combine the actual conditions of various regions and departments to carry out special governance work in a down-to-earth manner, grasp the accountability of supervision and discipline in a down-to-earth manner, go deep into the front line, make unannounced visits, and discover and expose problems in time. The discipline inspection and supervision organ at a higher level may directly file a case for review of corruption and work style problems with bad nature and serious circumstances.

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.






Qin hong


       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. "

       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?

Russia celebrates Victory Day online, 2 million people sign up for online "parade"

  [Global Network Reporter Wang Boyaqi] Because of the sudden COVID-19 epidemic, Russia had to postpone the commemoration of the 75th anniversary of the victory of the Great Patriotic War scheduled for May 9 this year. Although the large-scale military parade has been cancelled due to the epidemic, on the 9 th, fighters will fly over the Red Square in Moscow to participate in the air parade. In addition, according to the Russian News Agency, the celebration of the "Immortal Legion" on Victory Day also continued through the "online" way. According to reports, the registration time for the event ended at 15: 00 Moscow time, and about 2.1 million people have signed up to participate.

  According to RIA Novosti, the broadcast of the "Immortal Corps" online activity will start at 11: 00 am Petropavlovsk time (2: 00 am Moscow time) in Kamchatka Territory. Sputnik news agency & radio said that people who are willing to participate in this activity need to send photos of heroes of World War II to a specific mailbox and attach stories related to them. At present, more than 2 million people have signed up to participate.

  According to the report, during the event, the photos of the heroes of World War II will be displayed circularly on the media screens of various streets in Moscow, and broadcast on the website of the Russian "Immortal Corps". In this process, the public can play back the video content online, and the relevant staff will also answer the hotline 24 hours a day to provide consulting services on any details of the online activities of the "Immortal Corps".

  RIA Novosti said that at present, about 3,700 volunteers in the country have helped to prepare for this event, and they have all received professional training in advance. Among them, the oldest is a 72-year-old history and social studies teacher from Khabarovsk, Russia.

  In previous years, the Russian people will take photos or portraits of veterans to participate in the "Immortal Legion" parade on Victory Day on May 9.

  Russian President Vladimir Putin said at the meeting of members of the Russian Federal Security Council held on April 16th that the risks brought by the current COVID-19 epidemic did not allow Russia to hold a military parade to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the victory of the Great Patriotic War on May 9th, and related preparations were forced to be postponed. On April 28th, Putin announced that on May 9th, some Russian cities will hold air parade and fire salute.

Putin’s muscles show off again, which leads to "political interpretation" of western media (Figure)


  On August 3, in the Republic of Tuva in southern Siberia, Russia, Russian Prime Minister Putin rode bareback. Russian media released photos of Putin’s vacation and leisure in Tuva on the 3rd. The nearly 57-year-old Russian leader showed off his muscles and sports skills under the blue sky and white clouds. Xinhua News Agency/Reuters


  Riding by the lake, fishing by the cliff, whitewater driving, swimming in the cold pool …


  Russian media released photos of Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin’s vacation and leisure in Tuva region of southern Siberia on the 3rd. The nearly 57-year-old Russian leader showed off his muscles and sports skills under the blue sky and white clouds.


  Show your muscles again


  Putin recently visited the Russian Far East, during which he made many "shocking" moves.


  On July 31, wearing a tight diving suit, he waded in Chekalov Island to personally install a wireless signal transmitter for a great white whale. On August 1st, he took a mini submarine to dive about 1400 meters below the water of Lake Baikal, the deepest freshwater lake in the world.


  On the 3rd, Putin went to Tuva Republic in southern Siberia to spend a leisure day in sightseeing. Two days later, the Russian media released photos and audio-visual materials of Putin’s trip to Tuva, and Putin, who was muscular, once again attracted the voice of surprise with the image of "tough guy".


  An edited video shows that Putin takes off his coat to his waist, revealing his strong chest muscles. He rides on a bordeaux horse, holding the reins with both hands, and rides along a blue lake, followed by a local herdsman boy. After arriving at the destination, Putin dismounted, took off a Swiss watch on his wrist, put it on the boy’s right hand, and shook hands with the boy to say goodbye. Prior to this, Putin was a guest at the teenager’s home and had dinner with his father in the tent.


  On the same day, Putin was still whitewater fishing on a steep cliff; Wearing a cowboy hat and sunglasses, driving a motorboat on the fast-flowing water; Butterfly swimming in the cold lake; Even climb the tree and put on a vigorous posture like a snow leopard. Snow leopard is a local endangered animal.


  Political interpretation


  Every time Putin’s "muscle show" attracts admiration, it always attracts "political interpretation" from the western media, and it seems that this time is no exception.


  From Putin’s trip to Tuva, the Associated Press reporter thought of Putin’s trip to Siberia with Prince Albert II, the head of Monaco, two years ago. At that time, Putin’s presidency was coming to an end, and the outside world was full of speculation about his future. At that time, the Kremlin released a photo of Putin showing his upper body muscles, and the western media speculated that Putin would not be willing to give up power.


  The Associated Press believes that in view of the fact that the Russian economy has been hit by the global economic crisis, now as prime minister, Putin intends to release a signal to the Russian people that he has the determination and confidence to lead the country out of the predicament.


  James Rogers, a reporter from the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), "read out" more profound meanings from these photos, thinking that Putin not only showed that "everything is under control", but also seemed to imply that his body was strong enough to run for president again in 2012.


  Gather popularity


  Some Russian media interpret these photos of Putin from the perspective of "popularity". Previously, Putin’s judo level and fighting ability, as well as shooting tigers and whales, going into the sea and other moves attracted domestic applause, which also made ordinary Russians proud of having a "tough guy" leader.


  On the 5th, the Moscow Times mentioned at the beginning of a series of articles reviewing Putin’s ten years in power that since he first became president in 1999, Putin’s popularity in China has remained high, and few other Russian politicians can match him. The report said that even though oil prices began to plummet in the second half of last year, the Russian stock market fell sharply. A poll in September of that year showed that Putin’s support rate was as high as 88%. In 2009, the Russian economy declined further, the unemployment rate soared and the ruble depreciated, but Putin’s support rate still reached 78% in July this year.


  The Moscow Times analyzed that it can be seen that Putin’s support rate does not depend on the economic development brought about by high oil prices, but his personal image and temperament are in line with Russian expectations of leaders.


  "They need a father figure, a strong leader who can take responsibility and make important decisions for them," yekaterina Egorova, a political consultant, told the Moscow Times. (Feng Wuyong)
