Probably the reason why Ang Lee said he was Xiaosheng was because Chen Guilin still showed some uninhibited youthful atmosphere at the beginning of the film, as if there was a shadow of the monk who amazed the world. But at that time, Ruan Jingtian did not know that the gift given by fate too early could only be close to him, even if it was another ten years, and it was difficult to repeat.

Many mainland audiences may be surprised by Ruan Jingtian’s acting skills in "The Three Evils of Zhou Chu", mainly because most mainland audiences still know him as Ji Cunxi of "Destined I Love You" – a classic tyrant who stands at the peak of Taiwan puppet history. But Ruan Jingtian’s comfort zone has always been a "punk" like a monk and Chen Guilin. For him, who is not an acting professional, this is almost his true character, so he can contribute such a moving texture.

"Removal of the Three Evils"

Returning to the comfort zone is not only a "40-year-old", but also a rare luxury. Although Ruan Jingtian’s acting career has been luckier than most people, he has also faced confusion and bottlenecks during the bubble period of the film and television industry. However, the bottleneck did not eventually compress him to the status of a bad drama professional or a live streaming host, but allowed him to be recognized again and become a teenager again.

"Everyone likes Ji Cunxi, but I don’t."

Ruan Jingtian’s starting point is much higher than others.

The first time was to accompany a friend to interview for a model, but his friend didn’t want to do it anymore, but he was taken by the modeling company. He even reached the level of a professional reserve team when he practiced swimming from a young age, which also developed his long and shoulder-wide model figure. His first appearance after his debut was as the male lead of Penny Dai’s MV. In Hunan Satellite TV’s "Behind the Story" program, he mentioned that he had never learned to act at that time, and was commanded by the director like a marionette on the set. "Xiao Tian, look to the right, look up, look at the camera… This is how I played my first MV."

After that, he took on a large number of MVs of diva-level singers, such as Sun Yanzi, Wang Fei, Zhang Huimei, etc. Zheng Yuanchang, He Junxiang and he from the same company were called "Kaiwo Three Musketeers", and they often bound variety shows in this capacity. Kaiwo is also a leading modeling agency in Taiwan. Lin Zhiling is the senior sister of "Three Musketeers", and Xu Weining, who later ran a long-distance relationship with Ruan Jingtian for seven years, is also an artist of the company.

Two years later, Ethan Ethan made his film and television debut in "Michael’s Dance," in which he played a gloomy dance genius. It was also in this work that he was first noticed by the later "Bole" Niu Chengze.

A year later, Ruan Jingtian starred in the infatuated second man of "Green Light Forest", which is a typical person setting the ceiling. The performance of the show was supposed to take his acting career to the sky, but he was frozen by the agency for his affair with the 17-year-old heroine Liu Pinyan. After that, he could only play supporting roles and cameos for many years. Ruan Jingtian ushered in his first disappointment. At the same time, Zheng Yuanchang and He Junxiang have successfully soared with "Mischief Kiss" and "The Devil Is Around". Only he has been unable to survive.

"Green Forest" stills

Before encountering the project "I’m Destined to Love You", Ethan Ruan was ready to quit the acting industry. The original proposed lead actor Ming Dao refused, and the director Chen Mingzhang tried his best to persuade Ethan Ruan to play. He reluctantly accepted because he thought he had never played a male lead.

Ji Cunxi was not a typical "man setting a ceiling". He was always hesitant between his ex-girlfriend and his current girlfriend, and he was always beaten up for being too scum in the play, and was once evaluated as "the most miserable tyrant". This is also the reason why no one liked the project before it was broadcast.

Who knew that once the broadcast was a mess, the average audience rating of a single episode was 10.91, and the highest segment audience rating was 13.64, which became the first audience rating in the history of Taiwan puppet in one fell swoop, and no one has surpassed it so far. Ruan Jingtian and Chen Qiaoen, who were both at a low point at that time, would cry every time they released the ratings data, for the disappointment of those years.

"Destined to Love You" stills

After "Boss Ba", Ruan Jingtian went all the way. The next year, he starred in "The Lost Dog Queen", and with Yang Jinhua, he performed the "sister-brother love" that was very advanced at the time. Rather than being an idol drama, "The Lost Dog Queen" is actually closer to a female growth drama, and his role as Lucas is the healing and redemption of the elderly female protagonist.

The transformation was like a whirlwind, and in another year, Ruan Jingtian produced the movie "Menga" that won the best actor. Director Niu Chengze developed him who can act in movies. Completely different from the idol drama, he did not have to wear fancy clothes and read exaggerated lines to interpret the "Boss Ba" who was far away from him, but only needed to play the street "little gangster" by instinct.

The year he won the Golden Horse Best Actor, Ruan Jingtian was only 28 years old, and the "praise" and "call" came to him prematurely at the same time, making him feel like a downhill road wherever he went.

In 2013, during the 50th anniversary of the Golden Horse, Ruan Jingtian was absent for no reason. Although he later responded that he was rushing back to shoot "Military Paradise" because the itinerary was not clear, this statement was not accepted by the circle. Later recalling that period, Ruan Jingtian said in an interview, "I was very resistant for a while, and I tried a lot of roles during that time… But the audience seemed to only remember Ji Cunxi, and my performance perception was still stuck at the age of 25."

Although there have been many twists and turns, Ruan Jingtian’s noble luck has always been good. When he first joined the modeling agency, he was introduced to resources by an agent 12 years older, and the MV contract was only softened. Later, thanks to the appreciation of Chen Yushan, the co-producer of "Destined I Love You" and "The Queen of Lost Dogs", he established a foothold in the field of idol drama. The producer of "Mengka" and "The Three Evils in Zhou" is also the same person – Luo Dayou’s ex-wife Li Lie – who was once regarded by Ruan Jingtian as a mentor.

Li Lie later responded to the media that because of the absence of the photo of the golden horse, she had not contacted Ruan Jingtian for ten years, and only broke the ice during the casting of "Removal of the Three Evils in the Week". To some extent, this may also have led him to go to the mainland after the Jinma incident, and the movies, dramas and variety shows he has taken on have not been able to produce a single work. At the nomination of "Removal of the Three Evils in the Week" last year, Ruan Jingtian told the media, "Thank you, Sister Lie, for taking me home."

In fact, Taiwan’s domestic films have had a difficult time these years, and the situation is very similar to that of the Hong Kong market. Imported films occupy an absolute high box office. In the top 10 box office of the Taiwan film market in 2023, there is only one local film, "About Me and the Ghost Becoming Family". Of the top ten domestic films at the box office, 6 are comedies and 3 are ghost films, and the situation of single genre is also very serious. Although there is still a guarantee of artistic status, the Golden Horse award-winning film is also difficult to compete at the box office. "Three Harmies in the Week" is only NT $46.91 million (equivalent to about 10 million RMB) in Taiwan. The shrinking of the local market makes Taiwanese films doomed to be unable to invest high costs, and comedies, ghost films, crime films and other genres are precisely the most suitable for low-cost creations.

"Removal of the Three Evils"

The epidemic was no doubt an important factor in Mr. Ruan’s return to Taiwan, and he mentioned in the interview that he had taken more time to spend with his family and reorganized his life because many of his jobs had been suspended. In addition to "Zhou Chu," Mr. Ruan starred in "Hunted," a film produced by Zhang Junjun, which landed in mainland theaters late last year.

To a certain extent, the re-entry into the low-budget crime films is also a replica of the self in the "Monga" period. Only after the re-production of convincing works did Ruan Jingtian have the confidence to reveal his heart to the outside world. In the idol drama, it is not his true self. "I say in good conscience that many people like the character of" Fated to Love You ", but I don’t like it that much. I am not that kind of person."

A gangster, but not a hopelessly illiterate

"Little thugs" like monks and Chen Guilin are really Ethan’s comfort zone. This is not entirely an afterthought based on high-profile works, but because such characters are closest to his true self.

Before he was picked up by the modeling agency, Ethan went through a rather rebellious adolescence. He studied in high school for five years, transferred five times, was persuaded to quit school because of constant fights and absenteeism, and finally attended a night school before barely graduating. But his physical fitness is quite good. His family originally wanted him to become a pilot, and he had passed the exam, but in the end he sneaked back to Taipei to break into the entertainment industry.

For those who have not received any acting training, real-life experience is the most important reference for him to perform. And Ruan Jingtian is a pure experientialist. The heart-wrenching crying scene of a friend dying in his arms in "Mengka" is the most colorful part of the entire film. After the scene was filmed, Ruan Jingtian was still immersed in emotions and could not stop crying. The director came to hug him but was pushed away. He asked the director, "Just for a scene to open my wounds, does it have to be so painful to be an actor?"

"Mengka"

Including later going to shoot "Military Paradise", playing a recruit in the movie, and also won the nomination for Best Actor at the Asian Film Awards. At that time, he had just finished his military service, and the recruit was himself.

Although his education level is not high, he is different from the "desperate illiterate" who have been soaked in art examination institutions since childhood, and he has not shown any shyness in all situations where words are required. For example, in the interview, he used the blackboard and eraser to compare the divide between reality and performance. "There is a dividing line between the requirements of the script and his real experience. When the performance starts, you can wipe it off with the board as much as possible, but no matter how hard you wipe it, there will still be a little bit, a little visible but invisible line."

"It’s actually not the so-called feelings and ambiguity," he said of the relationship between Cheng Xiaomei and Chen Guilin. "It’s not that simple. It should be said that at the moment of their lives, the two people who were originally parallel have intertwined, but each other has more important things to complete. Cheng Xiaomei to Chen Guilin, maybe when a person is quiet at night, he will recall that this is one of the few romances in his limited life."

Compared with some artists who replied "I don’t think your question is meaningful", it has to be said that there is also a gap between illiteracy.

Even after becoming famous, his life is extremely normal, which may be an important reason why he can continue to enrich himself from real life and supply it to the performance, and it is also the biggest difference between him and the "208s". He mentioned in an interview with the Beijing News, "My circle of friends includes vegetable farmers, pork sellers, people who have to get up at two in the morning to work night shifts, and very ordinary workers. This is my truest circle of friends. Everyone thinks that artists are very mysterious, and that mystery is just self-restraint, trapping myself in a cage. I just live as an ordinary person, and I happen to work as an actor, and I happen to have the opportunity to act out what I see and hear – I am not a star, just a normal ordinary person."

Using Ning Hao’s metaphor in "Mr. Red Carpet", Ruan Jingtian is not the kind of traditional Chinese medicine bag soaked in warm water that does not eat human fireworks. Neiyu is still building a false "Boss Tyrant" in the world of idol dramas one after another, eating leftovers from Taiwan puppets. And the group of people who first interpreted "Boss Tyrant" have come out of the false mold.

"Removal of the Three Evils"

To a certain extent, the Taiwanese actors in the front line are all people like Ruan Jingtian, who can see the breath of living people, and the life behind them has never been a black box.

At the shortlisted luncheon, the five handsome men did not regard themselves as stars at all when facing the media, but revealed the details of their lives very casually. Ethan Ethan praised the muscles of Xu Guanghan and Lin Baihong, and Wu Dianren would not avoid his girlfriend Shao Yuwei when he met his birthday. He even said that "it is more convenient to rent a house in Hong Kong" when participating in the Hong Kong Film Critics Society Awards.

"I want to finish tonight and then go back to my mother tomorrow and go back to my normal daily life," Mr. Ruan said in a group interview with the media after the awards ceremony. "I want to remember this moment, my current mood, which day in the performance, you will see."

"Three Evils in a Week" is not a perfect movie, but the kind of Taiwanese actor that Ethan represents is a good entertainment footnote. Artists in mainland China never seem to understand what it means to be a living person, either completely emasculating their true character and turning it into a puppet in front of the stage, or interacting with their faces in the live stream. Living person means that the audience can see his small world and his origin from the actor’s body, but they don’t have to know everything.

According to a report on October 29, the energetic and charismatic actress Na has not only impressed with her stunning performance in the field of fashion, but also interacted with fans almost like family. She is unique in the entertainment industry, maintaining a sincere and approachable image, and has never been photographed showing off or having a bad attitude.

Yang Ying’s relevance stems from his deep connection with fans. Every time she attends an event, she always patiently signs autographs, takes photos, and responds to every fan’s care and support with her heart. On social networks, she not only shares her work life, but also often makes candid remarks to let fans better understand her inner world. This kind of sincere and considerate interaction makes fans feel respect and care, and also improves Yang Ying’s score in the hearts of fans.

Although Yang Ying has always been known for her approachable and honest treatment, the appearance of the entertainment industry often masks the underlying reality. On October 29, the Internet revealed that Yang Ying played a big name, which brought people to see the other side of the entertainment industry.

According to a person familiar with the matter, Yang Ying actually made all the staff wait for her for several hours during a commercial shoot. Although she only shot the advertisement for a few minutes, she asked others to wait in groups, causing dissatisfaction and complaints from the staff on site. The news surprised fans because it was completely different from her usual friendly and approachable image.

At the same time, some netizens revealed that when working with Andy Lau, Yang Ying was repeatedly NG because of her poor acting skills, and even lost her temper and refused to film, which put the crew in an embarrassing situation. The exposure of this incident has triggered public doubts about Yang Ying’s professional ethics. Although this revelation lacks conclusive evidence, it has triggered heated discussions among the online crowd about Yang Ying’s work attitude. If this is true, Yang Ying’s irresponsible behavior is undoubtedly shocking. In the context of intense competition in the entertainment industry, the professional attitude of actors is particularly important. It is difficult for an irresponsible and superficial actor to gain the respect of the audience and industry insiders, and it will also affect the working atmosphere and shooting process of the entire crew.

In fact, reports of Yang Ying’s unprofessionalism have surfaced in recent years, raising questions about her work ethic. Yang Ying’s acting skills have been controversial. In addition to his lack of talent, what’s more, he doesn’t seem to want to spend time studying acting, preferring to rely on his own background and resources.

Yang Ying’s carving of "Lonely Fang Does Not Appreciate Yourself" caused public outrage. Although she was paid a high salary, she did not pay for it accordingly, which made the quality of her work unsettling. This irresponsible attitude not only embarrassed her contestants, but also affected the entire production team of the show. In an industry that requires teamwork, the dedication and input of each actor is crucial, and Yang Ying’s unprofessional behavior undoubtedly caused trouble for the entire crew.

This practice of "taking shortcuts" and not learning and honing her acting skills not only damaged her personal reputation, but also made her lose the trust of many audiences. In the entertainment industry, success depends not only on appearance and background, but also on continuous education and hard work to improve herself and gain true recognition. If Yang Ying wants to go long in her acting career, she must take every job seriously, speak with strength, and win the recognition and respect of the audience.

　　　　In the Emperor’s film "Witness," starring Nicholas Tse, Zhang Jingchu, Zhang Jiahui, Liao Qizhi and Nursery, the actors were trapped in a room without air conditioning. At that time, the temperature was as high as 37 degrees, and with more than 30 staff members in the room, everyone was so hot that they were sweating profusely. Although there was a fan on site, it was blowing hot air, like being in an oven. Fortunately, the staff had already prepared a lot of frozen drinks to cool everyone down. Although the shooting environment was harsh, Ting Feng was still energetic and exchanged kung fu with the director from time to time. As for Zhang Jingchu, he was all smiles, without complaints, and quite professional.

　　Filming emotions to bring home

　　　　Ting Feng admits that making this film made him quite tired. In addition to climbing the outer walls of the building in person, the emotional scenes were also difficult to grasp. He said: "The emotions started from the wrong hand killing the child at the beginning, and he has always maintained the feelings of dissatisfaction, heaviness, helplessness and guilt. He can’t even let go when he goes home after finishing." One of the scenes tells of his tearful attempt to swallow a gun and commit suicide. Unfortunately, he broke his right lacrimal gland in the film many years ago. Since then, he can no longer shed tears and can only rely on eye drops to communicate.

On January 15, the Education Working Committee of the Guangdong Provincial Party Committee held an expanded meeting to listen to the party secretaries of 160 colleges and universities in the province’s 2023 work on grass-roots party building and make comments. The meeting was divided into three groups: public undergraduate colleges and universities, public higher vocational colleges and universities, cooperative education and private colleges and universities. The party secretaries of each college focused on studying and implementing the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, in-depth theme education, implementing the specific deployment of the Provincial Party Committee "1310" and the spirit of the national and provincial organization work conferences, implementing the responsibility system for grass-roots party building work, and promoting the high-quality development of party building leading the cause.

In 2023, the party secretaries of various colleges and universities will perform the duties of the "first responsible person", implement the grass-roots party building work, and promote the high-quality development of colleges and universities.

Sun Yat-sen University adheres to the party’s political construction as the guide, and has successively organized activities such as micro-party class selection and broadcasting, "Best Party Day Activities" to enrich the form of party member education, and optimize the setting of party organizations in off-site school campuses (parks). Chen Chunsheng, secretary of the school’s party committee, introduced: "The school held the 14th party congress, leading the high-quality connotation development of the school’s cause with high-quality party building."

Peng Yonghong, Secretary of the Party Committee of Huizhou University, said that the school adheres to the implementation of the three-year action plan for grass-roots party building, improves the "1 + 2 + 10" "big ideological and political" work system, strengthens the construction of cadres, and closely adheres to the words "strict", "real", "break through" and "reform" to strengthen the party’s overall leadership over the school’s work and lead the school’s high-quality development.

The "Hundred Counties, Thousand Towns and Thousand Villages High-Quality Development Project" initiative is an important measure for Guangdong Province to promote the coordinated development of urban and rural areas. In 2023, Guangdong universities will work together to promote the "Double Hundred Action" innovation bureau.

Chen Wenhai, deputy secretary of the Party Committee and president of Jiaying College, introduced that the school took the "Double Hundred Action" as a breakthrough point, organized the teachers and students of the School of Computer Science to overcome difficulties around the needs of Fengshun electroacoustic technology, empowered the construction of green and beautiful ancient trees and red villages with professional advantages in tourism planning and architectural design, mobilized the expert team of affiliated hospitals to help the Second People’s Hospital of Fengshun County, and interpreted the principle of "what the county needs, what the university can" with practice, injecting strong impetus into the high-quality development of the county.

College party secretaries should think about how to insist on doing something and not, focus on national strategic needs, focus on local economic development, focus on improving the ability to serve high-quality development, and "build a peak on the plateau".

Zhang Xichun, Secretary of the Party Committee of South China University of Technology, introduced that the school will further implement the "Double Hundred Action", deepen research and exchange, improve the cooperation mechanism, and accelerate the practical transformation of the scientific and technological achievements and governance advantages of Chinese workers into visible productivity in Heshan and Huilai.

It will continuously enhance its ability to serve national strategies and social development.

This time, a total of 56 party secretaries of cooperative schools and private universities will report their duties. Cooperative schools are the forefront of education opening up to the outside world. Multivariate subjects, different cultures and different systems intersect here, and the school’s party organization work needs to explore new methods and new paths.

As a cooperative university between the mainland and Hong Kong, Qu Sentinel, party secretary of the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (Guangzhou), mentioned that the school implements the principal responsibility system under the leadership of the council, and establishes and improves the daily communication and consultation mechanism between the party committee and the school’s administrative management and the joint meeting system under the premise of abiding by this system.

A total of 64 public higher vocational colleges were debriefed this time. The "top leaders" of many higher vocational colleges said that in the past year, the school party committees have given full play to the role of party branches as fighting fortresses, and have taken the lead in major projects such as "double high" construction, innovation and strengthening schools, and undergraduate application of vocational education. Carry the beam, deeply empower reform and development.

Du Anguo, Secretary of the Party Committee of Guangdong Vocational College of Light Industry, introduced that Guangdong Light Industry led the establishment of Foshan’s "two highs and four new" industry-education consortium, was selected as the first batch of municipal industry-education consortia by the Ministry of Education, and led the establishment of three industry-education integration communities such as the National Industrial Internet.

There are 4 provincial-level exemplary modern industry colleges and 9 off-campus practice teaching bases. Scientific research has exceeded 35 million yuan, social services have reached nearly 40 million yuan, and technical services and training have reached more than 200 million yuan in 5 years.

Lin Qiasheng, party secretary of Guangzhou Panyu Vocational TechAcademy, said that in recent years, the school’s party committee has taken the initiative to plan and act proactively, closely following the industrial development planning and policy trends of Guangdong Province, Guangzhou City, and the Greater Bay Area, and facing high-end industries and high-end industries. Through professional dynamic adjustment, professional construction is more adaptable to the strategic emerging industry layout. Next, the school’s party committee will take the undergraduate major setting as an opportunity to focus on the development of regional strategic emerging industries to set up new engineering majors. The number of engineering majors and enrollment accounts for about 60%, making professional construction more adaptable to the strategic emerging industry layout.

Zhang Xiaoyan, president of Guangdong Vocational College of Finance and Trade, believes that high-quality party building leads the high-quality development of the school, and the level of school running is accelerated. At present, there are more than 16,000 students in the school, and the scale has increased by nearly 12 times in 4 years. The registration rate ranks among the top in the province, and the implementation rate of graduates ranks first in the province. The total number of Ministry of Education supply and demand docking employment education projects ranks third in the country’s higher vocational colleges.

Party building leads education assistance, and colleges and universities give full play to their professional, disciplinary, and talent advantages, and demonstrate the responsibility of Guangdong colleges and universities in the "Million Project" action of Lianbai County, a hundred schools in Guangdong Province.

Zhao Weimin, Secretary of the Party Committee of Guangdong Food and Drug Vocational College, introduced that the school has partnered with Guangyao and Chinese workers to help Huilai and Huaiji counties, and the school has in-depth cooperation, selected deputy high-ranking cadres to be stationed in the county, and promoted 22 "Double Hundred Action" projects such as traditional Chinese medicine cultivation, food medicine and diet, and characteristic agricultural products.

Guangdong Vocational College of Foreign Languages and Arts has established four teams of innovative and entrepreneurial teachers and students to explore the local characteristic culture and advantageous industries in Lianjiang, accurately connect the school resources with the development of villages and towns, and enhance the "soft power" of villages and towns.

"The leadership of the superiors is very powerful, the guidance of Guangdong Light Industry is awesome, and the drive to promote the construction of’double highs’ is very strong." Wang Xiaohui, the party secretary of Shantou Vocational TechAcademy, lamented that under the help and guidance of higher vocational party committees such as Guangdong Light Industry Vocational TechAcademy and Guangdong Industry and Trade Vocational TechAcademy, the party building work of his school has made great progress. "We must increase the pressure and strive to meet the standards of Guangdong Provincial Model Colleges for Party Building Work. Although the current gap is very large, we must also increase the pressure to comprehensively improve the level of party building and better serve Shantou’s modernization."

The grass-roots party building in colleges and universities should be guided by students’ needs, using Marxist theory to quench students’ thirst, relieve students’ confusion, and break the dilemma of the curriculum, so that the "ideological and political vitality" of students’ education is stimulated. Pan Jianyong, Secretary of the Party Committee of Guangdong Administrative Vocational College (Guangdong Youth Vocational College), introduced that the school’s 2023 graduates’ employment destination implementation rate was 95.77%, professional matching rate was 92.45%, and the freshman registration rate was 90.61%, which was 13.58%, 23.76%, and 10.33% higher than that of the integration three years ago.

　　Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, November 12　Question: Schools also need to regulate eating takeout? Why is there such a "ban"?

　　Xinhua News Agency "China Network" reporters Li Xiongying, Cao Yiming, Tang Yang

　　In the Internet age, takeout has become a dining choice for many groups due to its time-saving and labor-saving characteristics. However, Guangxi University of Foreign Languages has issued a regulation banning takeout into dormitories, which has sparked discussion among netizens. Recently, Chinese online reporters conducted an investigation and interview on this.

　　What is the purpose of banning takeout?

　　A few days ago, Guangxi University of Foreign Languages issued the "Notice on Not Allowing Disposable Tableware and Lunch Boxes to Enter the Campus". The notice requires that in order to strengthen the management of food safety and hygiene on campus, starting from November 1, the school will prohibit takeaway, disposable lunch boxes and plastic bags from entering the dormitory.

　　Convenient and flexible takeaway fast food, why are schools shut out?

　　Su Junlu, director of the Student Affairs Office of Guangxi University of Foreign Languages, told reporters that the school’s introduction of this regulation is mainly based on considerations such as safety and environmental protection.

　　Su Junlu said that at present, the food delivery merchants are mixed with fish, the food production environment is uneven, and there are certain hidden dangers in food hygiene and safety. At the same time, some plastic bags and disposable tableware used for catering may release toxins under high temperature and other conditions, which may cause damage to the health of students. In addition, the delivery vehicles have also disrupted the daily management of the school while increasing the hidden dangers of campus safety.

　　Su Junlu said that the purpose of the school’s introduction of this regulation is to let students develop good living habits. "During the daily management work of the school, some students were found to stay in the dormitory for a long time, eating takeaway while surfing the Internet and playing games." Su Junlu said, "The takeaway makes life easier, but also makes some students develop lazy habits."

　　In addition, Su Junlu introduced that the increase in plastic waste has put tremendous pressure on environmental protection, and students in school should also start with small things around them, try not to use disposable plastics and carton packaging, and contribute to green environmental protection.

　　Are safety and hygiene grounds for the ban?

　　In fact, the ban on takeout at Guangxi University of Foreign Languages is nothing new. In recent years, some domestic universities have successively introduced bans on takeout and packaged food entering the campus, basically on the grounds that foreign food has safety issues and is not conducive to environmental protection.

　　The reporter combed through the opinions of netizens and found that some netizens questioned whether there was some kind of unwritten agreement between Guangxi University of Foreign Languages and the school cafeteria. The regulations were issued to protect the operators of on-campus restaurants.

　　Su Junlu told reporters that the school’s introduction of this regulation only prohibits the use of plastic products to pack hot food into the dormitory, does not prohibit students from eating outside the school, and does not require students to go to the school cafeteria to eat.

　　What did the students think about the school’s ban? The reporter interviewed several students at random on campus.

　　Liu, a freshman student, told reporters that during the peak dining hours, the school cafeteria has a long queue time, and eating in the school cafeteria often takes up lunch breaks, while takeout provides great convenience.

　　Regarding safety and hygiene issues, many students said that since they choose takeout, they must take responsibility for their actions.

　　"For the sake of environmental protection, all the teachers in the school are prohibited from driving to work, okay?"

　　Liu Junhai, a law professor at Renmin University of China, said that strictly speaking, the university’s ban does limit students’ right to choose: the relationship between students and food delivery companies is a civil contractual relationship, which is in principle free of contract, and the school does not control when, what and how students buy.

　　In addition, Liu Junhai said that there is an educational contract between the school and the students, and the students living in the school should accept the management of the school dormitory. As a property manager, the school has basic property management rights, such as not bringing firecrackers and other items that endanger public safety into the dormitory. But takeaway itself is not a dangerous product and does not hinder the public safety of the school. Although the school is under great pressure to clean up, the school also has the obligation to clean up after the students pay the tuition fee.

　　Takeaway should be sparse rather than blocked

　　Many students and netizens have expressed that the reason for choosing takeout is on the one hand because of the convenience and flexibility of takeout; on the other hand, it is also because the school cafeteria itself has objective problems such as serious queues and single food tastes.

　　Zhang Xiang, a professor at Fudan University, said that although lunch boxes may not be safe and cause environmental burden, school administrations should also consider the other side of the problem: why do students choose takeout, and should schools use more thought in cafeteria management?

　　A smart plate system recently unveiled in the third cafeteria of the Emerald Lake Campus of Hefei University of Technology has allowed students to bid farewell to the state of running to the cafeteria after class.

　　At noon, the reporter saw in the dining area of the cafeteria that the students took the dishes on different plates into the tray according to their own taste. As long as they put them on the checkout table, the number of dishes in the tray and the total price will be displayed immediately at the end point. Take out the campus card and swipe it lightly, and the whole settlement process is completed in an instant with a "beep".

　　"This is really good, and it reduces the waiting time in line. In winter, you don’t have to worry about the food being cold, and the efficiency is improved." Li Meng, a dining classmate, said.

　　Mei Rui, manager of the third canteen at the Emerald Lake Campus of Hefei University of Technology, said that they hope to provide more convenient logistics services for students through the application of new technologies.

　　Su Junlu also said that the cafeteria of Guangxi University of Foreign Languages has started to increase the number of dining tables, chairs and sales windows, and plans to open 24-hour dining windows to do its best to meet the needs of students.

　　Students’ choice of takeout may bring some problems, but the solution should not be a one-size-fits-all ban. "First, let takeout operators strengthen their environmental awareness and provide degradable and safe environmentally friendly materials; second, school cafeterias strengthen innovation and provide diverse exploration in terms of time, queuing methods, dish selection, etc.; third, encourage students to eat in cafeterias and strengthen education for students in environmental awareness and good habit formation." Liu Junhai suggested.

　　For Google, there are too many assets under its command, and it is in the order of "100 million" at random. However, the satellite image company that was acquired for 500 million dollars was recently reported to have been sold for 300 million dollars. Although we can’t guarantee the true accuracy of the figures, industry rumors say that Google sold it at a low price. That is to say, this business is sold at a loss by Google, which may also indicate that Google has diluted the satellite image market, or has restarted planning for future development, and even needs to divest these assets. Of course, maybe Google is gradually transforming into a "lightweight" company and needs to divest some less important businesses. It’s just that Google Maps was such a beautiful product line for a while. Won’t divesting satellite image business like this affect map products? What is Google’s ambition behind the scenes, or is it helpless?

　　Has the industry reached a consensus on "selling at a low price"?

　　Google and mapping start-up company Planet Labs announced on Friday that the latter will acquire Google’s satellite imagery company Terra Bella, which Google bought for $500 million about two years ago. Under the agreement reached between the two parties, Planet Labs will acquire the Terra Bella business and satellites, while Google will continue to provide satellite imagery for its map products through licensing. Obviously, Google still needs maps urgently. Although it is sold, it still needs the business product line.

　　According to insiders, Planet Labs’ acquisition price is lower than Google’s $500 million when it acquired Terra Bella at the time, but the price of this transaction is still more than $300 million. The source also revealed that Google will become the majority shareholder of Planet Labs and continue to invest in Terra Bella based on the expectation of long-term success. This also shows that Google cannot give up the map business, and it cannot give up. Too many product lines still need the support and support of Google Maps, and the divestiture may be just the divestiture of assets.

　　The market interpreted the deal as the latest effort by Google’s parent company, Alphabet, to manage expenses, which it is currently taking company-wide. The subconscious is that Google has gone to great lengths to manage expenses, and it may have to divest everything that can be divested. This may also be to "streamline" and help Google have a better financial forecast, right?

　　In fact, over the past year, Alphabet has scrapped plans to offer internet services through solar-powered drones, stopped expanding its Google Fiber internet service, and slowed down the development of drone delivery services. In addition, several company executives have also left. It is reported that several map executives have been poached by Uber. For a ride-hailing platform, maps are also life infra.

　　In addition, Alphabet’s earnings report last month showed that the company’s "Other Bets" business suffered a loss of $1.088 billion in the fourth quarter of 2016, with revenue of $262 million. Perhaps this is the internal factor that forced Google to keep shrinking, and it is also a loss of $1 billion. If it cannot be transferred and adjusted in time, the burden in the future may become more and more large. Even if Google is rich, it cannot withstand such tossing. It may be the best way to shake hands earlier.

　　Poor Terra Bella?

　　For Terra Bella, formerly known as "Skybox Imaging," which Google bought in 2014 for $500 million, it has seven data collection satellites and provides services to third parties in addition to Google Maps.

　　Google spun off this business because "it is more cost-effective to buy image data directly from a third party than to launch and operate its own satellites." Google, which used to be not short of money, now needs to be careful, just like Apple wants to sue Qualcomm. The original patent fee is just a drop in the bucket, but when the performance declines, and the share and profit both decline, Apple has to cut back on revenue and needs to "wipe oil" from Qualcomm. For Google, is it also a bit of "sympathy for the same disease"?

　　In fact, no matter who the owner is, it has little impact on Terra Bella. Its business is still within its familiar range. For Planet Labs, this acquisition will make it more competitive. Of course, for some experts at Google itself, it may be necessary to "invest in another owner". In fact, some executives have chosen to leave.

　　Planet Labs has been struggling to find customers, according to people familiar with the matter. It operates dozens of satellites, each weighing around 10 pounds (4.5 kg), but can only provide low-resolution images. Terra Bella’s satellites, by contrast, are more powerful and capture higher quality images. The acquisition will undoubtedly help Planet Labs expand its business.

　　There is also a saying in the market that with the third-party industrialization of the map business, it is also a good thing for other application users, such as Apple and many mobile phone manufacturers, online car-hailing platforms, etc. After all, after not being under Google’s control, the competition may be more fair. Of course, for Google, there are other secrets.

　　The glorious decade of Google Maps

　　The mapping business was once an unusually prosperous and glorious business for Google. For a time, the application of time was also overwhelming. Google Maps began as a living atlas, with MapQuest, the leader in the online mapping industry at the time, providing a printable list of directions. But Google took a different path: superimposing navigation paths on the map.

　　Moreover, Google Maps can also load maps directly on the web browser, making it convenient for users to explore the whole world anytime and anywhere. There is no need to install special software. At that time, the experience was super strong, and many people quickly fell in love with it. In 2005, no one could really understand the potential of web maps, and no one knew that it would play a crucial role in the future of online life. But it turned out that this business is too powerful. It is reported that the users of Google Maps have already broken through the 1 billion. It has become Google’s second largest asset after the search engine.

　　Google Maps has promoted the concept of "location" on the Internet from the very beginning. In fact, we are now one of the most commonly used in map applications about "location". The reason why modern maps have developed to this day may also be due to the appearance of Google Maps, of course, including the emergence of various LBS applications. Of course, Google is not the first to make maps. As early as 2003, Google had a product called "Search byLocation" (search by location). The service was launched in September 2003 as an experimental project in Google Labs, which was probably Google’s first map-related project.

　　In 2004, Google made three modest acquisitions of Keyhole, Where2 and Zipdash. Keyhole was the largest of the three deals, but the exact price has not been disclosed. At the time, the three-year-old company, which had 30 employees, was selling an enterprise-grade satellite mapping software for $69.95. The key technology was to stitch together satellite imagery into large maps of the world and then cut them into millions of pieces, allowing users to get a bird’s-eye view of the earth and then locate specific locations. In 2004, Zipdash, a start-up company with only three employees, was developing a mobile transportation app. Interestingly, because they were not registered, it was not even a "company". At the time, Zipdash only supported Nextel phones. Zipdash only sold for 2 million dollars. Google picked up a big bargain. Where2 developed a web version of Google Maps, Keyhole developed a desktop version of Google Earth, and the mobile version of Google Maps developed by the smallest Zipdash became the most important product.

　　It is reported that Google Maps’ traffic has been rising due to two things: Google Maps has added satellite data from Keyhole, allowing people to overlook their homes from the sky; Google has optimized the code to make Google Maps run faster. Since then, Google Maps’ growth has been uncontrollable. Selling the satellite imagery business now does not mean that Google does not make maps. On the contrary, it is one of the important pivots of Google. Especially in the era of mobile Internet, this business is indispensable.

　　Uber’s Small Ambitions

　　It is reported that Uber plans to invest $500 million to start drawing its own maps, and the plan also includes launching map viewing vehicles in the United States and Mexico to collect data and images. Uber’s ride-hailing service has always relied on Google Maps, and Google has no plans to enter the ride-hailing service field, so there is no conflict of interest between the two companies, and the two companies are also happy to cooperate on maps.

　　However, as both companies move towards autonomous driving that relies heavily on maps, the former partners have become competitors, and neither company expects further cooperation on maps. It makes sense for Uber to create its own maps to replace Google Maps.

　　Moreover, Uber’s mapping needs are focused on the accuracy of roads and locations, and Google Maps currently includes too much content, some of which is not relevant to Uber’s business. As Uber points out, "Google is great, but information like ocean terrain has nothing to do with Uber."

　　So Uber wanted to start from scratch and create its own maps. They hired Brian McClendon, the head of Google Maps, as a vice president and in charge of the map business. Then, a multi-year partnership agreement was reached with DigitalGlobe, a satellite imaging company, whose satellites would provide Uber with high-definition images.

　　Then, after Brian McClendon, Uber hired a second Google Maps executive, Manik Gupta, director of product management for Google Maps, who has been with Google Maps for seven years, to become director of mapping products.

　　Uber hopes to get rid of its dependence on Google Maps by strengthening its mapping business, so as to better control its own assets. In the future, more products or physically connected applications may come from third-party providers, so as to better participate in the competition. Of course, making maps is also a lot of pressure for Uber, and both technology and investment are key.

　　Google’s sale of its satellite imagery business is undoubtedly beneficial for divesting assets and reducing expenses. Coupled with the fact that its own product space will not be greatly affected, it may also be a better choice for Google Maps to divest its "hardware" business and focus on its own content. With the rapid development of the mobile Internet, mobile applications will become more diverse, and the demand for maps will also give rise to more development opportunities. This is not just a mobile application, including unmanned cars, unmanned aircraft, etc., will rely on the simultaneous follow-up of maps, and the extension of technology will also be more diversified. We also believe that more technologies and products will emerge, truly allowing users to have a better application experience.

1905 movie network news Co-sponsored by the Film Channel Program Center, the Datong Municipal People’s Government, and Jackie Chan International Group, and jointly organized by the 1905 Film Network, Datong Daily, and Datong Radio and Television Station, the "Fourth Jackie Chan International Action Film Week" was unveiled in Datong on the evening of July 18.
