Update of Trump Ray Quotations: More tests, more diagnoses.

  US President Trump, who once declared that "without COVID-19 vaccine, the virus will disappear by itself", recently updated the quotations of Lei Ren at a campaign rally held in Oklahoma — — "Slow down virus detection". Because in his view, testing is a "double-edged sword", and the more tests, the more diagnoses.

  Contrary to Trump’s imagination, the severity of the epidemic in the United States has intensified recently. According to the latest data from the website of Hopkins University, the number of confirmed cases in COVID-19 has reached 2.279 million, and the death toll is close to 120,000.

  The US media reported that the proportion of young people infected with COVID-19 in the southern United States continued to rise, and the proportion of infected people increased exponentially after the liberalization of state restrictions.

  At the same time, the increasingly severe epidemic has seriously hit market confidence. Some experts believe that the plunge of the US dollar and the intensification of inflation are forming a stock market bubble.

  The epidemic situation in the United States presents a new dangerous trend.

  In an interview with NBC, Dr. Michael Osterhome, an American infectious disease expert, pointed out that "the number of cases in the United States is now 70% of the peak in early April." He doesn’t think this grim situation will be alleviated in summer or autumn. Osterhome regards the increasingly severe epidemic situation in the United States as a "forest fire". "As long as there is firewood, this is a fire."

  At a news conference last week, WHO said that more than 150,000 new cases have been reported, almost half of which are from America. Cases in the United States have increased by 15% in the past two weeks, and cases in 22 States are on the rise. Moreover, as states began to lift restrictions and the number of travelers increased, Scott Gottlieb, former director of the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), told CBS that the number of confirmed cases in some southern states of the United States began to show an "exponential growth".

  As experts say, the infection rate in Oklahoma has risen rapidly in recent days. Since the end of April, the death toll in the state has been in single digits, but in the past five days, the state has set a new record. Not only that, according to CNN, more and more young people in southern States of the United States are positive for coronavirus. Greg Abbott, governor of Texas, said last week that young people under the age of 30 in the state constitute the majority of infected cases. Florida Governor Ron De Santis said on the 19th of this month that the average age of newly diagnosed cases last week was 37, and "the virus is attacking people aged 20 to 30".

  Update of Trump Lei Ren Quotations

  CBS said that as the number of people infected with Covid-19 in the United States began to surge in mid-March, the Trump administration was widely criticized for its lack of testing programs and its failure to support states to improve their testing capabilities.

  In response to Trump’s "virus disappearance theory", Dr. Ashish Jaha, director of the Harvard Institute for Global Health, said on CNN: "The virus will not only disappear, but will last for at least 12 months. This is the most optimistic situation for vaccination."

  Despite severe warnings from experts from all over the United States, hundreds of people gathered in Tulsa, Oklahoma last Saturday to attend Trump’s first re-election campaign rally during the severe epidemic. Although Tulsa announced the highest number of new infections in one day last Saturday — — This is the fifth time this week that a record number of infected people have been reported, but CBS observed that not only did almost no one wear a mask at the rally, but Trump did not wear a mask during his trip outside the White House. White House press secretary Kelly McNarney even told reporters bluntly that she would not wear a mask at this campaign rally.

  The popularity of the "virus disappearance theory" has just subsided, and Trump has put forward a new theory at this indoor gathering. Trump told a supporter who didn’t wear a mask that he wanted to "slow down the detection speed." According to CBS, Trump explained to supporters that because testing is a "double-edged sword", the acceleration of testing speed has increased the number of confirmed cases in COVID-19. "We are testing for people who have no idea what happened."

  Dr. tom ingelsby, director of the Health and Safety Center of Johns Hopkins University Bloomberg School of Public Health in the United States, refuted Trump’s new remarks. He believed that the surge in confirmed cases in many States in the south and west of the United States was not only the result of the increase in the number of tests, but "a real increase."

  Scott gottlieb, former director of the Food and Drug Administration, also expressed the same view on CBS’s "Face the Nation" program, saying: "The rate of positive test results is rising, which clearly shows that the virus is spreading in the community, and this is not only because the number of people being tested has increased."

  Dr. Osterhome, an infectious disease expert, expressed concern about the recent indoor gatherings in the United States, such as the presidential rally, and believed that Trump’s risk of infection in such indoor gatherings was far greater than the large-scale outdoor demonstrations against police brutality.

  A stock market bubble is forming.

  According to the US Consumer News and Business Channel (CNBC), data from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) show that since Covid-19 first attacked the United States in January 2020, the cash in American bank deposit accounts has surged by 2 trillion US dollars, reaching a record high. In April alone, deposits increased by $865 billion, more than the previous record of annual increase in deposit balance. Of the US$ 2 trillion, more than two-thirds have been deposited in the 25 largest banking institutions in the United States, especially JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America and Citigroup, which have the largest assets in the United States.

  CNBC pointed out that the surge in deposits was mainly related to the stimulus measures taken by the US government during the epidemic, including the distribution of unemployment benefits and salary subsidies to small businesses and individuals; The Federal Reserve also continuously supports financial markets through unrestricted bond purchase plans; Faced with the uncertainty of the future, both families and global companies have chosen to store cash.

  "No matter how you look at it, this growth is absolutely extraordinary," said Brian Foran, an analyst at Autonomous Research, a well-known independent research company. Foran believes that super banks have the largest number of American retail customers, and ordinary people have almost no chance to spend money during the period of avoiding the epidemic at home. All the money flows into bank accounts, and banks will definitely lower the already insignificant interest rate, "because they don’t need depositors. More money."

  CNBC pointed out that if the surge in deposits is only a sign of measures taken to alleviate the financial harm caused by the epidemic, it remains to be seen what will eventually happen to the government’s historic spending spree. Some experts believe that a stock market bubble is forming due to the plunge of the US dollar and the intensification of inflation.

  In addition to the surge in cash in the deposit accounts of major banks in the United States, the stock index futures in the United States are also falling, and the surge in confirmed cases is hitting market confidence.

  According to Reuters, S&P 500 index futures fell 0.4%, and fell as high as 1.05% in early trading. Chicago futures NIYc1 shows that the Nikkei 225 index will fall by 1.3%. For this large-scale economic recession caused by the epidemic, more and more people have doubts about whether the economy can rebound quickly in the post-epidemic era.

China’s optimization of entry and exit policies has attracted attention.

On the evening of December 26th, the National Health and Wellness Commission issued the "Overall Plan for Implementing" Class B and B Management "for novel coronavirus Infection (hereinafter referred to as the" Plan "), optimized the management of personnel exchanges between China and foreign countries, and cancelled the nucleic acid testing and centralized isolation of all personnel after entry. On the 27th, the website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued the Notice on Temporary Measures for the Exchange of Chinese and Foreign Personnel (hereinafter referred to as the Notice), proposing to restore China citizens’ outbound tourism in an orderly manner. After the release of the "Program" and "Notice", it has attracted wide attention from all walks of life at home and abroad. Many international students and business people constantly lament the convenience brought by the new policy to return to China, while some people in China can’t hold back their excitement and start searching for air tickets and planning overseas trips. China’s optimized epidemic prevention measures will not only stimulate domestic demand, but also bring warmth to world economic growth. With the increase of tourists from China, many industries around the world, including tourism, will usher in recovery, the Korean Herald reported on the 27th, citing analysts.

"An important step towards reopening"

On the night of the 26th, the National Health and Wellness Commission issued the "Program", renaming novel coronavirus as novel coronavirus infection; Since January 8, 2023, novel coronavirus infection has been treated with "Class B and B tube". According to the relevant requirements of the Plan, the joint prevention and control mechanism of the State Council has formulated five supporting documents, such as the Monitoring Plan for the Epidemic Situation of novel coronavirus Infected with Class B and B Tube. On the 27th, the Foreign Affairs Group of the State Council Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism issued the Notice on Temporary Measures for the Exchange of Chinese and Foreign Personnel. Since then, the National Immigration Bureau, the Ministry of Transport and other departments have also introduced corresponding optimization management measures.

Singapore’s Lianhe Zaobao noted that according to China’s latest requirements, starting from January 8 next year, people going to China will be tested for nucleic acids 48 hours before departure, and those with negative results can go to China; Cancellation of nucleic acid detection of entry personnel, normal health declaration and no abnormality in routine quarantine at customs ports, can be released into the society; Cancel the number control measures of international passenger flights such as "five ones", "one country, one policy" and load factor restrictions; According to the international epidemic situation and all aspects of service guarantee ability, in line with the principle of pilot first, China citizens’ outbound tourism will be resumed in an orderly manner. In addition, China will also adjust the policy of "stopping passengers and goods" at ports, gradually resume the entry and exit of passengers at land and waterway ports, and provide more convenience for Chinese and foreign crew members to change shifts in China.

"This is an important step for China to reopen." After the "Proposal" and "Notice" were released one after another, international media such as CNN, Associated Press, Reuters, The Wall Street Journal, DPA, French Tribune paid extensive attention to them and made the above comments in unison. On the 27th, Asahi Shimbun, the mainstream Japanese media, also reported the news that "China cancelled the immigration quarantine measures" on the front page of the newspaper. Tokyo News reported on the 27th that the adjustment of epidemic prevention and control policies in China aims at normalizing economic and social activities.

In this regard, Bai Ming, deputy director of the International Market Research Department of the Institute of International Trade and Economic Cooperation of the Ministry of Commerce, said in an interview with the Global Times on the 27th that China is the second largest economy in the world, and both the exchange of personnel and the import and export of goods are in an important position in the world. The adjustment of China’s entry-exit policy is bound to have a far-reaching impact. Bai Ming also mentioned that the adjustment of China’s entry-exit policy was carried out on the basis of fully understanding the changing law of the epidemic situation, and the new policy was more scientific and more in line with the national conditions. "The accumulated experience in epidemic prevention and control in the past three years has enabled China to make overall plans and make major strategic arrangements. Therefore, it is time to optimize China’s entry and exit policies. "

The number of international flight searches has soared by more than 8 times.

"As soon as the policy of canceling the centralized segregation of entry was released, the whole Chinese circle was boiling up, which is definitely a big plus for us stationed overseas." Ms. Chen, who works in Brussels, Belgium, told the Global Times reporter on the 27th that the last time she returned to China was in January 2021. As soon as the policy was introduced on the 26th, she had the idea of going home to visit her parents next Spring Festival. Ms. Chen also told reporters that many business people living in Belgium will benefit from this policy adjustment, especially to stimulate the enthusiasm of some European business people to go to China, which will play a very important role in promoting cultural exchanges and economic and trade exchanges between China and Europe.

Yan Xiao, who is currently working in Berlin and has not been back to his hometown of Wuhan for about three years, also told the Global Times reporter on the 27th that he was going to return to China to reunite with his relatives during the Spring Festival. "In recent years, all my communication with my parents can only be online. It is a great happiness to be able to go home and have a New Year’s Eve dinner with them." Yan Xiao also mentioned that the German consulting company she works for is also looking forward to more customers from China to visit and continue to strengthen the business layout related to China.

The voice of the people is clearly reflected in the search volume of international air tickets for entry and exit on the whole platform. Ctrip said on the 27th that on the morning of the same day, the orders for outbound air tickets from the mainland of China rose sharply compared with the 26th, with an overall increase of 254%. Singapore, South Korea, Hong Kong, China, Japan, and Thailand ranked first in the increase of air ticket orders. The order of inbound air tickets in China mainland increased by 412% compared with the morning of 26th, which was 1.6 times of the order of outbound air tickets.

According to the data provided by Flying Pig to the Global Times reporter on the 27th, within one hour after the release of the Plan on the 26th night, the number of international flight searches on the platform surged by more than 8 times, among which the number of inbound flight searches reached the peak since the epidemic. Another online travel platform "Where to Go" data also shows that within 15 minutes after the news was released, the instantaneous search volume of international air tickets increased by 7 times, and the popular destinations were Thailand, Japan and South Korea. 

Xiang Min, the person in charge of the flying pig ticket business, said that with the optimization and adjustment of the entry-exit epidemic policy, everyone’s expectations for entry-exit travel will be quickly translated into action, and the booking of international flights will start soon, especially the inbound flights will take the lead.

At the same time, China’s policy adjustment has brought benefits to Asian stock markets. The Financial Times noted on the 27th that the China stock market led the gains in the whole Asia-Pacific region on Tuesday, with the Shanghai and Shenzhen 300 Index climbing 1% and the Shanghai Composite Index and Shenzhen Component Index rising 0.8%. The French newspaper Tribune mentioned that after China announced the adjustment of its entry policy, the Tokyo Stock Exchange opened higher on the 27th, and ANA Group performed well in intraday trading, while shares of Japanese cosmetics giant Shiseido and chain sales group Takashimaya rose sharply. According to French media analysis, China’s upcoming entry policy will benefit companies related to tourism, among which Japanese companies are in the forefront. Yonhap News Agency quoted the South Korean Stock Exchange on the 27th as saying that since the beginning of this month, the stock indexes related to cosmetics, duty-free shops, tourism and aviation, which are considered to be related to the opening of China, have been on the rise.

Bai Ming said on the 27th that as the most potential market in the world, the new policy to be implemented in China will undoubtedly be welcomed by other countries and regions. Because in the framework of international issues such as economic globalization and global governance, convenient communication with China is a necessary basic condition. This is in the interest of China and the international community.

Some Western media "double standard" reported China policy.

"China is about to reopen, is the world ready?" After China made the decision to optimize the entry-exit policy, the French Embassy in China issued a document in Weibo on the 27th, saying, "China friends, France welcomes you with open arms!"

The US Embassy in China announced on the 27th that the consular offices in Beijing, Guangzhou and Shenyang will resume normal consular services on January 3rd, 2023.

However, while boosting the market, the news of China’s adjustment of its entry policy also caused so-called "worries". Some western media even speculated that the new policy would "spread" the epidemic in China. According to Kyodo News reported on the 27th, Japanese Prime Minister kishida fumio announced on the same day that passengers from China to Japan need to be tested upon arrival. Earlier, countries such as India also announced similar measures. The South China Morning Post reported on the 27th that China has gradually optimized its epidemic prevention policy, which triggered a double reaction of optimism and anxiety.

China’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin said at a regular press conference on the 27th that in the three years since the outbreak of the epidemic, the China government has always adhered to the principle of scientific precision, constantly optimized various epidemic prevention and control measures according to the changes in the epidemic situation, and efficiently coordinated the epidemic prevention and control and economic and social development, making important contributions to global unity against the epidemic and world economic recovery.

Wang Wenbin said that at present, it is necessary for all parties to fight the epidemic scientifically and work together to ensure the safe exchange of personnel from all countries, maintain the stability of the global industrial chain supply chain and promote the resumption of world economic growth. China has always believed that epidemic prevention measures in various countries should be scientific and appropriate and should not affect normal personnel exchanges.

From building schools to delivering courses, SAIC Volkswagen’s "Stars Project" has been upgraded to version 2.0, lighting up the dream of scientific innovation for rural children.

Get to know gravity knowledge with an "unstoppable coke can", make a solar car by yourself, and team up with classmates to design and make an insect trap … Recently, SAIC Volkswagen went to Skoda Hope Primary School in Minle Town, Huayuan County, Xiangxi Autonomous Prefecture, Hunan Province for a charity visit, bringing the latest STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) public welfare education course, which will be behind the birth of the car.
During the activity, the media and volunteers of SAIC Volkswagen employees joined STEM class as teaching assistants, and also held basketball games and banner graffiti activities with the children in their spare time. The children also brought wonderful Miao dance exercises and martial arts performances, and learned Miao language and sang Miao language songs with the volunteers. After school, the volunteers became guardians, holding hands with big hands and accompanying the children home together.
"Star Project" helped build 11 hope schools in 10 years.
As an iconic public welfare project of SAIC Volkswagen, the "Star Project" has gone through nearly 10 years.
In 2015, SAIC Volkswagen and China Youth Development Foundation launched the "Star Project" to improve the construction of teaching buildings and teaching environment, and provide teaching equipment and teaching resources for rural schools. Up to now, SAIC Volkswagen’s "Stars Project" has donated more than 16 million yuan and built 11 Hope Schools in Hunan, Henan, Guangxi, Hubei, Xinjiang, Guizhou, Shaanxi, Yunnan and other places, benefiting more than 1,000 young people every year, with a total number of beneficiaries exceeding 20,000. There are sports facilities, library, voice classroom, computer room and other supporting facilities in the school building, which bring more efficient learning tools and richer learning resources to children.
The investment in public welfare education is accompanied by the development of SAIC Volkswagen. As early as 1995, SAIC Volkswagen paid attention to the importance of youth education in the development of underdeveloped areas and began to build Hope Primary School in Xinjiang. Since 2012, the company has donated educational funds to Xinjiang for five consecutive years, and equipped local schools with computer rooms, art rooms and sports equipment.
STEM curriculum helps rural education to improve its soft power in an all-round way
"It’s amazing that there are so many steps to make a car!" "It turns out that science is so fun!" In the STEM class of Minle Town Primary School, children give such admiration from time to time.
STEM education is a hot direction at home and abroad, and it is the key to cultivate innovative and compound talents. In November 2023, UNESCO established the UNESCO International STEM Education Institute in Shanghai, China, which provided a good development prospect for STEM education in China. However, STEM education in rural areas is still in its infancy and needs the support of all parties.
In order to help rural revitalization and rural education, in recent years, SAIC Volkswagen has launched an upgraded version of "Star Project" 2.0, providing their own STEM education program for rural schools, transforming from helping school hardware upgrade to cultivating the soft power of rural education in all directions.
According to SAIC Volkswagen, the STEM course aims to cultivate students’ ability to integrate and apply subject knowledge, scientific and engineering practice, and 4C (Communication, Collaboration, innovation, critical thinking and problem solving) core literacy.
Aiming at the pain points of rural schools, the "Star Project" provides solutions one by one:
Lack of courses, then independent research and development. The "Stars Project" invested 8 million yuan, and cooperated with professional organizations such as the Youth Foundation to develop 12 theme courses for preschool and grade 1-6 students, covering the fields of life science, material science, earth and universe science, technology and engineering, involving the core concepts of the earth, materials, machinery, plants, insects and other disciplines. Each course provides corresponding courseware, student handbook, teacher handbook and course material package. During the course development, the R&D engineers of SAIC Volkswagen actively participated in the course, integrating the engineering knowledge that students are interested in, such as lighting design, vehicle energy and traffic signals, into the course in a simple way.
Lack of teachers, then empower rural teachers in all directions. In 2023, SAIC Volkswagen and China Youth Development Foundation launched the public welfare project "STEM Course Teacher Training for SAIC Volkswagen Hope Project", which targeted 100 teachers from 10 SAIC Volkswagen Hope Primary Schools and the 19th Primary School in Karamay, Xinjiang, and carried out two phases of offline centralized training and one phase of online training.
In addition, SAIC Volkswagen also equipped the school with STEM teaching equipment and course packages to solve the worries of the school. In order to improve teachers’ and students’ attention and interest in STEM, we also cooperated with educational professional institutions to support the school to carry out special STEM activities in Germany at the Science and Technology Festival.
At present, 12 STEM theme courses have been fully promoted in Hope School aided by SAIC Volkswagen, and will be gradually extended to more non-aided schools. According to the investigation, 100% teachers think that STEM education should be carried out in schools and hope to provide relevant teacher training and teaching and research guidance. Nearly 100% students are looking forward to learning STEM courses.
Protecting the stars and creating a "common benefit" future, SAIC Volkswagen has been practicing the responsibility of sustainable citizens since its 40th anniversary. The "Star Project" starts from Shanghai and covers Hunan, Guangxi, Shaanxi, Xinjiang and Yunnan, and helps the development of rural education with STEM education. "Gongyi+"focuses on the enterprise ESG strategy, and invites employees, users, media and social welfare organizations to join the circle of friends of Gongyi to create public welfare projects and build a sustainable community.
In the future, SAIC Volkswagen will continue to practice corporate social responsibility, integrate the concept of sustainable development with development strategy, and integrate public welfare DNA into every key action of the enterprise.

During the Dragon Boat Festival holiday, when the whole country was immersed in the traditional atmosphere of dragon boat race, a football match from Jiangsu unexpectedly seized the center of online topic.
Jiangsu City Football League, a provincial-level tournament affectionately called "Su Chao" by netizens, has swept the national public opinion field with the potential of starting a prairie fire since it started on May 10th, 2025.
Screenshot of CCTV and People’s Daily related reports
01
Phenomenon-level whole network carnival
The popularity of "Su Chao" has gone beyond the scope of an ordinary sports event and evolved into a cultural phenomenon in which all people participate, and its popularity is reflected in many dimensions.
Social media dominated the list: "No match-fixing is all a feud", a hot search word, continued to dominate the social platform and became the most accurate footnote of Su Chao. On the Tik Tok platform, the number of # Jiangsu City League # topics played exceeded 910 million times, creating a rare topic fever in provincial competitions. In order to meet the needs of users, Hupu App urgently added the "Jiangsu Lian" channel, and the number of visitors on the first day of its launch exceeded one million … All these data show that "Su Chao" became an instant hit and became a phenomenal explosive sports IP.
On-the-spot watching craze: The average number of spectators in the second round of "Su Chao" League reached 9,852, exceeding the number of spectators in League A in the same period. The third round of the competition was even hotter: the "Chu-Han dispute" held by Xuzhou Olympic Sports Center, that is, the audience of Xuzhou and Suqian reached 22,198; In the focus battle between Nanjing and Wuxi at Wutaishan Stadium in Nanjing, 13,000 seats were invoiced every second, and 15,669 people actually showed up, setting a record for the stadium’s attendance for many years. A senior Nanjing fan said frankly: "Tickets for the Jay Chou concert are not so hard to grab!" .
It is worth noting that the amazing spread speed of "Su Chao"-from the silent start to the hot discussion on the whole network, "Su Chao" only took less than 20 days, and its popularity even surpassed that of the Champions League final held in the same period. The netizen joked: "This is the top five leagues in the world this year, and the Bundesliga has a corresponding population of 84 million, while Jiangsu has a population of 85.26 million."
On the Internet, around "Su Chao", it has evolved into a unique "Stalk-making Competition": "Competition first, friendship fourteenth" replaces the traditional slogan of sports spirit; The ridicule mapping of "Changzhou changed from hanging state to towel state" Changzhou team lost in a row; The contest between Nantong and Nanjing was dubbed the "Battle of South Colombia"; The competition between Xuzhou and Suqian is a "Chu-Han hegemony" that spans thousands of years; "salted duck VS peach" describes the battle of Wuxi, Nanjing; "Winning the morning tea, losing the test paper" teased Taizhou Nantong confrontation.
Jiangsu’s unique geographical, economic and cultural characteristics have created a "race against each other" between cities, which is now projected into a series of football matches. This emotional resonance not only strengthens the city’s sense of identity, but also enhances the city’s cohesion. These stalks quickly broke through the football circle and turned into a "stalk-making movement" for the whole people to participate in, forming a decentralized content ecology, and even the official participated.
Official Whole Work from Nanjing Publishing and People’s Daily
Not only online, but also offline, the "Stalk-making Competition" was launched enthusiastically:
This phenomenal spread indicates that "Su Chao" has evolved from a simple sports event to a cultural symbol and social phenomenon.
02
Why is "Su Chao" on fire?
The success of "Su Chao" is not accidental. It is not only a successful communication example, but more importantly, the innovative competition design and operation mode behind it. "Su Chao" is not only a sports event, but also a carrier and media of urban interaction, bringing new ideas and methods to urban marketing.
Bundle design of literature and travel
"Su Chao" is not only a football match, but also a three-dimensional display of the city image. Cities skillfully use the competition platform to connect culture, tourism, consumption and other fields in series, forming an innovative "competition+cultural tourism" integration model, turning the arena into a cultural performance stage.
According to Wang Xiaowan, vice chairman of Jiangsu Football Association and secretary of the Party branch, "The propaganda resources and cultural tourism resources in various places have also been fully mobilized. Sports events set up a stage and sang in the economy, and consumption was driven by the economy of the event. "
Various places have launched cultural travel packages, which has formed a differentiated attraction and transformed the "gunpowder smell" on the stadium into the "fireworks smell" of the consumption scene. For example, Changzhou launched the "9.9 yuan Ball Ticket+Dried Radish Fried Rice" package, and thousands of tickets on the line were robbed in 3 minutes, driving the sales of specialty products to double; Yangzhou’s home midfield turned into an "intangible exhibition", and the number of night tours in Xijindu, Zhenjiang increased by three times; The live broadcast of "Yunyou Yuantouzhu" by Wuxi team realized the closed loop of watching the game, tourism and consumption drainage, which provided new kinetic energy for urban development.
Break the threshold of national party
Another major innovation of "Su Chao" is to completely break the boundaries between professional and amateur, emphasizing the participation of the whole people, and the teams of each city are composed of multiple forces. According to statistics, a total of 516 people qualified for the competition, including 29 professional players (including 3 college students and 1 senior high school student) and 337 amateur players from all walks of life, the oldest being 40 and the youngest being 16.
In order to ensure fairness, the tournament innovatively regards professional players as "foreign aid", and each team is limited to three people, or it is necessary to meet the localization requirement of "studying in the local area for more than five years". This design of the competition not only ensures the competition level, but also maintains the grassroots attribute, and truly achieves the national party.
Sense of participation in public life
In addition to economic benefits, the phenomenon of "Su Chao" also has rich social value. In the era of material abundance but spiritual needs trapped in the "information cocoon room", people are eager for a real and sensible sense of participation in public life, and such activities are becoming an important carrier to resolve social anxiety and rebuild interpersonal connections.
Niu Fengrui, an urban research expert and president of the Small and Medium-sized Cities Research Institute, said in an interview with the media that with the development of economy and the improvement of people’s living standards, people’s demand for leisure life, including recreation, sports, tourism and leisure, is increasing, and the demand is becoming more and more diversified. The holding of "Su Chao" not only enriched people’s needs, but also greatly increased people’s participation in sports.
03
How to "grow red"
With the deepening of the Games and the unprecedented popularity, "Su Chao" is also facing the challenge from phenomenal level to sustainable development. The heat will eventually fall back. In order to avoid "a flash in the pan", the event needs to build long-term value.
Avoid homogenization of cultural symbols
At present, most of the stem cultures focus on food or historical labels, such as Huaiyang cuisine and hegemony between Chu and Han, etc., and regional cultures can be further explored, especially minority non-heritages, such as Suzhou silk reeling and Nantong blue printed cloth, in order to enhance differentiation.
Balancing Business and Grassroots Nature
At present, the ticket prices of sports events are generally maintained at the position of "5-10 yuan", but we should also be wary of scalping. Excessive premium of second-hand tickets will damage the whole people, so it is necessary to establish a more perfect ticketing mechanism to protect the rights and interests of real fans.
Extend IP life cycle
We can consider linking the "Su Chao" League with the development of professional football,Help the construction of local football echelon, such as Wang Xiaowan’s expectation, and build the event into a platform with "access on the top and entrance on the bottom".
In addition, we can try the modes of IP authorization and city endorsement, such as developing the peripheral products of "Thirteen Pacific Insurance" to turn traffic into sustainable consumption power. During the competition, the "City Football Cloud Exhibition Hall" can also be developed to maintain the heat; Promote the linkage with the Yangtze River Delta Cultural Tourism Festival and expand the scope of radiation.
Although it still faces challenges, the pioneering exploration of "Su Chao", which makes football return to football and sports connect with life, is precious enough. It proves that the real sports culture will always grow in real, fresh and full of vitality.

Rush to the hot search! Bilibili UP initiated the stop of the tide? Millions of fans UP main response

"From today on, we will stop."
On April 2nd, a news about bilibili’s UP owner’s initiative to stop the tide rushed to Weibo for hot search, which triggered a hot discussion among netizens.
With nearly 4 million fans in bilibili, the UP owner "King Xu who lives by his face" released a video saying that he would stop for a while in the future. Another UP owner, "-LKs-", who has more than 3 million fans, also publicly announced that he would temporarily stop watching.
Two million fans, the UP owners, have successively announced that they will stop working, which has attracted the attention of the outside world. On April 2nd, it was reported that a number of UP owners intensively and publicly announced the suspension of updates, and "bilibili UP owners initiated a wave of suspension of updates" also rushed to Weibo for hot search.
However, an insider in bilibili explained to the The Paper reporter that the statement of "stopping the shift" is not accurate. Only some UP stops for personal reasons, and it is not a collective behavior.
Millions of fans UP main response
On the afternoon of the 2nd, the above-mentioned two million fans, UP Master, posted a message in Weibo to respond to this matter.
"King Xu, who eats by his face" responded in Weibo: "Today, these two hot searches are a bit inexplicable, and I don’t know who arranged them. The reason why I stopped working is very clear in my video, and it is all my personal reasons."
"I’ve been making videos for more than ten years, and bilibili is just one of my publishing platforms, so I have nothing to do with bilibili if I stop. It’s purely my personal business. Moreover, engaging in content creation is actually no different from ordinary work. It is normal for some people to make money and others to lose money. It is not necessary to make a fuss about people from all walks of life. " "King Xu who lives by his face" wrote in Weibo.
Subsequently, "LKs–" said, "Only on behalf of individuals, I announced that my suspension has nothing to do with the economic situation, and my income in bilibili this year is no less than before."

On April 2, a million-fan UP owner who asked not to be named told reporters that not making money by creative incentives is not the key reason for UP owners to stop working. The top 100 UP owners with millions of fans do not rely on platform incentives to survive. Another UP owner said that a vertical UP owner like "King Xu who lives by his face" is faced with multiple pressures of business list, topic selection and production cost, and it is a special case to stop.
Last year, 9.1 billion yuan was distributed to UP owners. Is that enough?
In addition to official incentives, another important income comes from advertising revenue obtained by UP owners. According to several UP owners, the positioning of the platform in bilibili is different from that in Tik Tok. The platform allows creators to implant advertisements in videos, which can earn extra advertising revenue at the same time with low share. "However, not everyone’s videos are suitable for advertising. bilibili’s share of my overall income is very low, and it only accounts for less than 1% of your total income." "Cat sauce that doesn’t eat grass peppers" revealed.
However, influenced by multiple factors such as the external environment, the number of advertisements received by UP owners has also decreased in recent years. "In the past two years, the competition in the industry has been increasing, and more and more people have entered the market. If you don’t strive for innovation and change, you will easily be eliminated." A waist UP owner revealed to reporters, "On the other hand, the rise of short video platforms has also divided the use time of users’ bilibili, so that the chances of receiving business orders have dropped." In his view, the rise of new technologies such as artificial intelligence has also accelerated the "survival of the fittest" of the industry itself.
Bilibili’s constant adjustment of the incentive mechanism may be related to its annual revenue losses. On March 2nd, Billie Billie (Nasdaq: BILI, 09626.HK) released the unaudited financial report for the fourth quarter and the whole year as of December 31st, 2022. According to the financial report, the total revenue of bilibili in fiscal year 2022 increased by 13% year-on-year to 21.9 billion yuan, and the annual net loss was 7.5 billion yuan, up by 10% year-on-year. In the fourth quarter of last year, the revenue reached 6.14 billion yuan, up 6% year-on-year, and the net loss was 1.5 billion yuan, down 29% year-on-year.
"It is expected that in 2023, our overall loss will be narrowed more obviously, and the goal of breakeven will be achieved in 2024." In the conference call after the earnings report, bilibili CEO Rui Chen said.
It is worth noting that the financial report shows that in 2022, the operating cost of bilibili was as high as 18 billion yuan, up 18% year-on-year (the operating cost in the fourth quarter was 4.9 billion yuan, up 4% compared with the same period in 2021). bilibili said that the increase was mainly caused by the increase in revenue sharing cost and content cost. Among them, revenue sharing is mainly an incentive or sharing for UP owners in live broadcast and advertising business, reaching 9.1 billion yuan, an increase of 18%.
According to Zhongtai Securities Research Report, at present, bilibili’s business is divided into four parts, namely, mobile games, value-added services, advertising, e-commerce and others, among which value-added services and advertising will become the focus of bilibili’s future revenue growth. Value-added services are divided into paid subscription and live broadcast reward. Paid members are subject to the supply of OGV content (professional copyright works exclusively purchased and played). Under the background of reducing costs and increasing efficiency, it is expected that the growth rate will gradually slow down, and live broadcast will become the core growth point. It is estimated that the compound annual growth rate of revenue of this business in the next three years will be 20.1%. Effect advertising is the focus of growth, and it is estimated that the compound annual growth rate of revenue in three years is 20.5%.

What is the security configuration of Bugatti Veyron?

The security configuration of Bugatti Veyron is really excellent.

First of all, it is equipped with three modes of variable aerodynamic system, which can effectively adjust the upward pressure and downward pressure of the vehicle at high speed according to different driving conditions to keep the vehicle stable. In addition, the structure and assembly of vehicles also have many bright spots. The front-end structural design can play an excellent role in collision, ensuring that the passenger compartment will hardly deform during collision. The body adopts a hard shell structure and uses pre-impregnated carbon fiber, which not only pursues ultra-high strength, but also realizes lightweight.

The rear carbon fiber structure can maintain the torsional stiffness of the single sleeve and further improve the dynamic performance of the vehicle. The metal structure on the back is made of aviation grade stainless steel, which can meet the requirements of collision and high temperature environment. In terms of safety configuration in the car, some models are equipped with complete anti-roll cages, which not only reduces the weight of the vehicle, but also helps to improve handling. In order to improve the stability and safety, some models have also adjusted the suspension system and reduced the height of the car body to achieve better shock absorption effect.

The tire developed in cooperation with Michelin can bear the high load when driving at high speed and ensure driving safety. Power and braking system is the key. The brake disc is made of titanium alloy, which has excellent braking performance. The brake auxiliary tail wing system can stabilize the front and rear axle loads, cool the braking system, and ensure that the brakes still work normally after repeated braking.

Although it is not certain whether Veyron is equipped with all these safety configurations, it is observed that other Bugatti models, such as Bolide, are equipped with military-grade fire extinguishers and six-point seat belts, and meet relevant standards, with HANS system; Divo is equipped with a rear-view camera, advanced traction and stability procedures, front and side collisions and curtain airbags; W16Mistral is equipped with active safety technologies such as adaptive cruise control, blind spot monitoring, lane departure warning, front collision warning and automatic emergency braking. These safety configurations reflect that Bugatti attaches great importance to safety and provides reliable protection for drivers.

Bugatti Veyron Hermes Edition is a special edition of Bugatti Veyron, with Bugatti providing technology and Hermes providing interior and vehicle style design. The unique design of this sports car makes it both fierce in appearance and round and beautiful like pebbles on the beach. The interior design is also exquisite, and the dashboard is wrapped in calf leather, showing the beauty of harmony. The top speed of this sports car can reach 407 km/h, and the acceleration time from 0 to 100 km only takes 2.5 seconds. The extraordinary power system and excellent safety configuration make Bugatti Veyron a very attractive high-performance sports car.

The people’s army has entered a new era in reforming and strengthening the army.

Since the reform and opening up, China has made remarkable achievements in economic, political, social, cultural and ecological construction. At the same time, national defense and army building have undergone many reforms, and the People’s Army has made solid steps on the road of strengthening the army with China characteristics.

At the beginning of the reform and opening up, the CPC Central Committee and the Central Military Commission made a scientific judgment that "peace and development" became the theme of the times according to the profound changes in the international situation and the development trend of the times, and promoted the strategic transformation of the guiding ideology of army building, that is, from preparing for "early war, large-scale war and nuclear war" to the track of peacetime construction, and promoted modernization in a planned and step-by-step manner on the premise of obeying and serving the overall situation of national construction. Since 1980, with the breakthrough of "reducing swelling", the army has carried out major adjustment and reform, thus promoting the road of elite soldiers with China characteristics. In 1985, the People’s Army reduced its posts by 1 million, which was a big step towards the goal of lean organization, flexible command, well-equipped, well-trained and quick response. This reform is a "major operation" on the army at the beginning of the new military revolution in the world, which makes the development of the people’s army catch up with the trend of the new military revolution and embark on the road of building the army with quality.

In the 1990s, with the drastic changes in Eastern Europe and the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the world began to develop towards multipolarization. With the Gulf War as the turning point, the new military revolution in the world entered a new qualitative stage. Therefore, centering on the general goal of "building a powerful modernized and regularized revolutionary army", the People’s Army has formulated a strategic policy of active defense in the new period based on winning local wars under modern technology, especially high-tech conditions, put forward the strategic goal of building an information-based army and winning information-based wars, and regarded military reform with China characteristics as the only way for the modernization of the army. In order to promote the military reform with China characteristics and the preparations for military struggle, the People’s Army has reduced its staff by 700,000 twice by reducing its scale, reforming its system, optimizing its structure, adjusting its formation and perfecting its system. The size of its troops has become leaner, the scientific and technological content of its construction has been significantly increased, its combat effectiveness has been greatly improved, and its modernization has achieved a century-long leap.

In the new stage of the new century, according to the new changes in the international situation and the actual development of the country, the People’s Army has persisted in implementing the Scientific Outlook on Development in national defense and army building, actively promoted the reform with restructuring and reform as the main body, strengthened organizational management, and consolidated the results of restructuring and reform. At the same time, according to the principle of coordinated development of national defense construction and economic construction, we should implement the strategic thinking of coordinating economic construction and national defense construction and realizing the unification of enriching the country and strengthening the army, fully fulfill the historical mission in the new stage of the new century, and enhance our ability to deal with various security threats and complete diversified military tasks. According to the requirements of military reform with China characteristics, we should accelerate the compound development of mechanization and informatization, actively carry out military training under informatization conditions, promote the innovation of military theory, military technology, military organization and military management, and constantly improve the core military ability to win local wars and the ability to carry out non-war military operations under informatization conditions.

Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, China has entered a critical stage of development from big to strong, the international structure and system have undergone profound adjustments, the new military revolution in the world has developed in depth, the national security situation in China has undergone new profound changes, and various predictable and unpredictable risks and challenges have increased significantly. Standing at the height of realizing the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, the Chairman of the Supreme Leader focused on realizing the party’s goal of strengthening the military in the new era and building a world-class army, and put deepening national defense and military reform into the overall plate of comprehensively deepening reform, rising to the will of the party and state behavior. In November 2015, the Central Military Commission held a meeting on reform. The Chairman of the Supreme Leader issued a great call to comprehensively implement the strategy of strengthening the army through reform and unswervingly follow the road of strengthening the army with China characteristics. He personally planned to promote national defense and army building, personally served as the leader of the leading group for national defense and army reform, and led the officers and men of the whole army to start a new journey of reforming and strengthening the army. At the end of 2015, the reform of the leadership and command system was carried out first, with the establishment of the army leadership, rocket army and strategic support force. The military commission was changed from four headquarters to 15 functional departments, and the seven war zones were adjusted to five war zones in the east, south, west, north and central regions, and the joint operational command institutions of the military commission and theater were established. The long-standing headquarters system, the large military region system and the continental army system of our army were broken, and a new people’s army was established. At the end of 2016, the reform of the size and strength of the military was officially launched. According to the principle of streamlining and high efficiency, the personnel of organs and non-combat institutions were streamlined, the combat troops were enriched, and the proportion of services was adjusted and improved.We will optimize the structure of military forces and reform the formation of troops. The original 18 group armies have been reorganized into 13, making the people’s army leaner in scale, more scientific in formation and more optimized in layout. At the same time, we will steadily push forward the reform of the policy system, introduce a series of supporting policy systems in the fields of military human resources and logistics, strengthen the centralized and unified management of military human resources, improve the training system of new military talents, and gradually establish a policy system that reflects the characteristics of military occupations and enhances the sense of professional honor and pride of military personnel. In addition, at the national level, the newly established Department of Veterans Affairs in the State Council and the in-depth implementation of integration of defense and civilian technologies’s development strategy have provided strong support for the smooth progress of reform and strengthening the army. This round of reform is an unprecedented overall reform and revolutionary remolding in the history of our army, and it has taken a historic step to build a military power system with China characteristics, making the people’s army a new system, a new structure, a new pattern and a new look.

The history of the growth and development of the people’s army is a history of reform and innovation. Since the reform and opening up, the practice of national defense and army building reform has proved that reform and innovation, keeping pace with the times, is a strategic choice to cope with the profound changes in the pattern of international military competition, an internal demand to realize national security and national rejuvenation, and an important guarantee for the continuous development and growth of the people’s army. As Socialism with Chinese characteristics entered a new era, so did national defense and army building. Standing at a new starting point and in a new era, only by continuous reform and innovation can the people’s army continue to gain the vitality of development and progress, truly build itself into a world-class army, and provide strong strategic support for winning new great struggles and realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

Why did Oppenheimer’s "Bruce Lee" hit the biographical film?


Special feature of 1905 film network Nolan’s latest film, Oppenheimer, has topped 922 million dollars at the box office, surpassing Bohemian Rhapsody and becoming the highest-grossing biographical film in the world.


The film was released in mainland China on August 30th. As of press time, the box office closed at US$ 54.796 million (equivalent to RMB 400 million), making it one of the top ten biographies of film history in mainland China.



Biographies have never been the "main course" of the film market. But it does not prevent this kind of film from being favored by famous directors.


In the past, The Last Emperor was born under the lens of bernardo bertolucci. Wong Kar-wai worked on "A Generation of Masters"; Infernal Affairs and Gemini Siu Fai Mak and Zhuang Wenqiang jointly directed Guan Yunchang; Chen Kaige made Mei Lanfang. These are all works that have experienced market tests and achieved certain results.



Next, Bruce Lee’s life experience will be put on the big screen by Ang Lee, and Ang Lee’s son Mason Lee has been training for five years to play Bruce Lee. Danny Chan’s half-life legend will also be made into a film, escorted by Wen Weihong, director of The Apostles 2. Continuing the series of Ip Man, Donnie Yen admitted at Cannes International Film Festival earlier that Ip Man 5 was under development.Biographies and movies are coming one after another. Is it so "fragrant"?



Biographies are not popular in China market?

You can’t just rely on the fame of the characters and the feelings of the audience to break the circle.


Biographical films are not particularly popular in China market. At present, the most popular movie is Wrestle! "Dad", the China mainland box office closed at 1.299 billion, becoming the first non-Hollywood imported film with a box office of over 1 billion. 1.299 billion, which is also the highest box office record of biographical films in China mainland market for the time being.



Oppenheimer’s global box office is as high as 922 million US dollars, surpassing Bohemian Rhapsody to become the highest-grossing biographical film in the world’s film history, but China is not its biggest ticket warehouse.


The release time of the film in mainland China was more than one month later than that in North America. It has attracted much attention before it was finalized. On the one hand, Nolan has released a new work three years after Tenet, and the image quality brought by IMAX and 65mm film carries the expectations of many fans. On the other hand, the ups and downs of Oppenheimer, the father of the atomic bomb, are really interesting.



There is no doubt that Oppenheimer is a world-renowned physicist. But it must be said that most China audiences don’t know it well.


Perhaps it is because of the threshold of watching movies. The audience in China, Oppenheimer is concentrated in first-and second-tier cities, with 42.3% white-collar workers and 21% students. Even if the douban score is as high as 8.8, there is no large-scale circle in the end.



As of press time, the film’s box office in mainland China totaled US$ 54.796 million, far lower than the US$ 319 million in North America. Compared with Germany and France, which have relatively small population bases, it is only a few million dollars higher.



Biographies are different from ordinary feature films, and the plot structure is restricted by the deeds of the characters themselves. Because of the differences in viewing aesthetics and habits brought by cultural differences, the audience of biographical films will have certain limitations. In other words, even if the reputation of a biopic bursts, it may not have brilliant box office results.


In Douban 8.6, Bohemian Rhapsody paid tribute to Queen, legendary lead singer Freddie Mokuri and their music. The film’s global box office closed at $9.13, but its total box office in China was $13.612 million, far lower than that in North America, Japan, Britain and South Korea.Douban 8.5,The darkest hourIt tells the story of the important trial faced by British Prime Minister Winston Churchill during his tenure as Prime Minister. The global box office of the film received $150 million, but the cumulative box office in China was $5.127 million, far lower than that in North America, Britain, France and Australia.


In terms of Chinese movies, Anita Mui focuses on the legendary transformation of "Hong Kong daughter" Anita Mui. The film once set a new box office record in Hong Kong, closing at $8.003 million. Although the total box office in China has successfully exceeded $15 million, it is not enough to rank among the top three in the box office of biographies.



Biographical film stories are based on real characters experience, and the audience’s understanding and feelings for the characters will be the reason for them to pay the bill. However, if a biographical film wants to go out of the circle, it can’t rely solely on the arc of the characters and the feelings of the audience. Instead, it breaks the cultural gap by emotional resonance and arouses the interest of more viewers.


"Wrestle! Dad is adapted from the story of Indian wrestler Mahavia Singh Perdy. Most China audiences are not familiar with Mahavia Singh Perga. At the beginning of the film’s release, the film was not dominant, but its follow-up relied on the reputation of Douban 9.0 to sink into the market, and the audience covered almost all ages, so the box office continued to fall.


The reason why I can break the box office record of biographical films in mainland China, "Wrestle! Dad no longer relies on the tortuous experience of the prototype or the fame of the protagonist, but the core of the film conveying inspiration and blood, which has aroused public resonance.



The world is big and the cultures are different, but it doesn’t hinder the emotional connection.The cumulative box office of the four films of Ip Man series exceeded 2.2 billion yuan, of whichIp Man 4The box office exceeded 1.1 billion yuan. This series not only shows the legendary life of IP Man, but also shows the charm of China Kung Fu Wing Chun to the fullest. Many audiences are attracted by this unique China culture, and have entered the cinema.


Ip Man series is not only popular at the box office in China, but also has made great achievements in overseas markets. Ip Man 4 once won the overseas box office champion of Chinese films in 2019.



The humanistic value of biographical films can not be ignored.

"Big things are not empty, small things are informal" becomes a creative consensus.


As mentioned above, although there are many excellent biographical films with a double harvest in the word-of-mouth market, on the whole, the box office ceiling of such films in China market is not very high.


Oppenheimer, which is now 400 million yuan in sight, and The Pioneer and Anita Mui, which have successfully exceeded 100 million yuan in recent years, are already quite good works in this field.


Compared with the market value, excellent biographical films bear more heavy humanistic value. This is also an important significance that cannot be ignored in this kind of film creation.



Looking back at ancient history, Confucius and Su Dongpo have brought us back to the long river of the times and felt the living conditions of the people below.


Bearing in mind modern heroes, Sun Yat-sen, Deng Xiaoping Trail and Zhou Enlai The Pioneer told us to inherit the indomitable spirit and unswerving faith with the story of revolutionary ancestors actively exploring ways to change China and save the nation.


When it comes to model workers, Yuan Longping, Jiao Yulu, Liu Qing and Shen Jilan HUANG WENXIU make the experiences of ordinary heroes amazing, and let us remember the mission of struggle.


In addition, Ruan Lingyu, Anita Mui, Mei Lanfang, Mom’s Pastime and so on, let us feel the wonderful life of legends in different fields.



There are models and heroes in every era, and their deeds deserve to be remembered and passed down by everyone.


Ang Lee said in an open interview that Bruce Lee, as a bridge between China and the West, introduced China Kung Fu to the whole world and made innovative contributions to martial arts and action movies. This is also an important reason that drives him to create a biographical film for Bruce Lee. It is reported that this work will give up the direct narrative with time as the axis, and adopt unconventional expressions to show the dribs and drabs of Bruce Lee’s life with enter the dragon as the starting point.



It is worth mentioning that for the creation of biographical films, directly restoring the magnificent life of the characters and focusing on restoring the highlights of the turning point of the characters’ fate are two completely different expression modes.


Whether it’s works like Bruce Lee, Oppenheimer and The Pioneer, which skillfully select characters at an important stage, or works like The Last Emperor and Anita Mui, which narrate the magnificent life of legendary figures in many directions, it seems to be the consensus of creators to practice the principle of "big things are not empty, small things are not arbitrary" and restore the highlights of characters to the greatest extent.


In Oppenheimer, Nolan not only set up a "trinity" nuclear test site in reality, but also chose to shoot the scene with IMAX film camera to make the audience feel immersive as much as possible.



In "Anita Mui", the creative staff collected many cars from 1980s through various channels, trying to restore the appearance of Hong Kong streets as much as possible. Anita Mui’s real experience of wearing a wedding dress to the concert stage has also turned into a famous scene with climaxes in the film.



In terms of quality, an excellent biographical film can never be separated from the development of realistic character arc and clever expression, which is the foundation and core of biographical film.


As for the market, whether an excellent biographical film can break the circle to the greatest extent depends on whether the film can make the hero’s brilliant experience "deeply rooted in the hearts of the people" again in the context of the rapidly changing times.
