??　　 According to Hong Kong media reports, the great beauty Lin Qingxia’s 66th birthday yesterday (November 3), and her new book was also released on the same day. She shared a lot of unknown aspects of herself. For example, she had a good relationship with the famous clothing designer Zhang Shuping. When she was young, Lin Qingxia encountered emotional troubles and tried to cry to Zhang Shuping. Unexpectedly, Zhang Shuping praised her for crying well, which made her laugh. Lin Qingxia even tried to give Zhang Shuping her naked photos, scaring the other party to run away!

??The great beauty also has natural enemies. It turned out to be her friend Shi Nansheng. She said that every time she saw Shi Nansheng, she felt that her dress was lost. Lin Qingxia made many Qiong Yao love movies when she debuted. She recalled that many producers asked her to take the show with a travel bag of banknotes. She said that there were so many banknotes that she filled the safe and the bedside table. Lin Qingxia is an idol of many people, and she revealed that she is a fan of Zhen Zhen, and the two have a very good relationship in private. They will meet for afternoon tea.

??In addition, Lin Qingxia shared a fate with the late Shao’s Huadan Li Jing. Li Jing had a difficult life in her later years and could not afford to pay the rent. Once, Lin Qingxia met Li Jing and expressed her desire to write a story about Li Jing. Qingxia said that when she saw Li Jing walking, she needed to use a cane, her body was soft, and her left arm was swollen badly, which was caused by surgery to remove her breasts and lymph. Before leaving, Qingxia gave Li a red envelope and wanted to ask Li Jing to eat her favorite sea cucumber again. Who knew that more than ten days after the meeting, the news of Li Jing’s sudden death came.

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.

In 2023, Guangdong is one of the provinces with the fastest progress in higher education in the country. Zhu Kongjun, Secretary of the Provincial Education Work Committee, Secretary of the Provincial Department of Education, and Director of the Provincial Department of Education, stressed that there are currently more than 2.6 million college students in Guangdong, but there is still room for progress in higher education as a whole. 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. The system of "two-way entry and cross-appointment" between party committee members and school administrative management is implemented.

What to do next? Li Jinping, secretary of the Party Committee of Zhuhai College of Beijing Institute of Technology, mentioned that 2024 is a critical year for Zhuhai College to integrate into the Zhuhai campus. Next, it will adhere to the concept of people-centered, accelerate the all-round development of faculty and staff, and implement the fundamental task of building people through morality and further promote "three-complete education".

"In politics, we need to raise our standing, pay great attention to ideology, be practical in measures, focus on practical results in work, satisfy teachers and students in results, and promote development in goals," said Li Jianchao, party secretary of Guangzhou Southern University.

Shao Yunzhen, a member of the Education Working Committee of the Guangdong Provincial Party Committee, a member of the party group of the Guangdong Provincial Department of Education, and a deputy director, affirmed the party building of various cooperative schools and private universities in his summary comments. He believes that there are characteristics of paying more attention to improving the position, paying more attention to playing a role, paying more attention to strengthening the foundation and solidifying the foundation, paying more attention to serving the overall situation, and paying more attention to optimization and innovation. For the next work, Shao Yunzhen emphasized five requirements, namely, adhering to the correct political direction, consolidating the foundation on the fundamental task of building morality and cultivating people, improving quality and efficiency in strengthening the construction of grass-roots party organizations, uniting forces on high-quality party building leading high-quality development, and highlighting the advantages in serving the Chinese path to modernization Guangdong practice.

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. To build a university industry-education park, the school and the enterprise jointly built 43 productive training platforms for substantive operation, and improved the mechanism of industry-education collaboration and unveiling. 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.

"The school invested 1 million yuan to comprehensively promote the’Double Hundred Action ‘and rural revitalization." 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.

The opening ceremony of the 4th Jackie Chan International Action Film Week was specially selected to be held in the magnificent Datong Daiwang Mansion. Director Cao Yin of the Film Channel Program Center, Secretary of Datong Municipal Party Committee Zhang Jifu, Mayor of Datong City Wu Hongwen and other leaders of the organizers attended the scene and delivered speeches. In his speech, Director Cao reaffirmed the important role that Jackie Chan Film Week has played in promoting action movies and supporting action filmmakers. He emphasized: "With his witty and humorous, chic and elegant films, Mr. Jackie Chan tells the world Chinese stories, promotes the Chinese spirit, and spreads the Chinese voice, which reflects the cultural confidence of the Chinese nation and has become a shining business card for cultural exchanges and dialogue between China and the world." Subsequently, Secretary Zhang Jifu of the Datong Municipal Party Committee announced that this year’s Jackie Chan International Action Film Week was officially opened.

　

As the "absolute protagonist" of this event, Jackie Chan took the stage with a sonorous song "Be a Man". During the dialogue, he sincerely expressed the reason for holding the "Jackie Chan Action Film Week" for many years: "Most action people are heroes behind the scenes, and the industry’s attention and recognition for them are far from enough. I hope we can influence more people to become’heroes’ [through the film week], which is the dream of every action filmmaker."

　

After three successful events during the Shanghai International Film Festival, "Jackie Chan International Action Film Week" moved to Datong, Shanxi for the first time this year. Behind this fate is also the deliberate consideration of Jackie Chan and the entire host team – during the 2018 two sessions, Jackie Chan proposed that film and television artists should fulfill their social welfare responsibilities and take the lead in poverty alleviation. "The movie channel is launching a poverty reduction campaign, which coincides with my idea. We joined forces and organized the Starlight Action, inviting a group of stars to participate together. Datong City has a deep historical and cultural heritage, and there are also 6 standard poverty-stricken counties around the city, so we decided to put this year’s event in Datong to really do something practical for poverty reduction."

　

That night, Jackie Chan sang a number of songs including "A Man Should Be Self-Reliant", "Ambition in My Chest", "A Clear Conscience", etc. Among them, he also sang "No More Lost" with Datong children, echoing the theme of Starlight Action. In addition, Jackie Chan emotionally gave the song "Things Are Different" to his former, beloved and departed friends. He admitted that he couldn’t help but cry during the filming of the MV. Time flies, and everyone should cherish the moment.

　

Strength singer vs high-powered idol, Zhou Huajian, Sun Nan, Lehua Qizi and others helped out in the opening ceremony

In addition to the wonderful singing of Jackie Chan’s eldest brother, the guest lineup invited to the opening ceremony that night was also star-studded: Zhou Huajian, who has a friendship with Jackie Chan for decades, brought his own classic songs "Flower Heart" and "Let Me Joy and Let Me Worry". The two old friends also broke the news to each other at the scene and remembered the past, singing "Friends" to pay tribute to friendship; the strength singer Sun Nan also sang three songs in a row, in addition to the widely sung "See You or Not" and "You Come Back", this time he also created a new song "Happy Datong" for Jackie Chan Film Week, and sang it for the first time in the performance that night.

Musical genius Chang Shilei and soul singer Yuan Yawei brought solo performances "Dad" and "Disperse" that night, and collaborated on a song "Long Come".

In addition to the above-mentioned powerful singers, there were also many fresh blood at the opening ceremony of Jackie Chan International Film Week. Zhu Zhengting, Fan Chengcheng, Bi Wenjun, Huang Xinchun, and Li Kuan-cheh are members of the current super-popular newcomer boy group Lehua Seven Sons NEXT. That night, they ignited the enthusiasm of the audience and fans with two new songs full of enthusiasm and vitality, "LUV AGAIN" and "FOR YOU". Several young idols also shared their views on action movies and paid tribute to Jackie Chan’s predecessors and all action filmmakers. Thai actor Mike brought "TAKE ME TO THE MOON" and "You Are in My Heart".

Another high-profile "group" is the "ancient and confused boy" Zheng Yijian, Chen Xiaochun, Xie Tianhua, Qian Jiale and Lin Xiaofeng who have reunited after many years. At the opening ceremony, they sang "Come and Go Together" in blood. This time, the opportunity to bring them together again is the new movieJackie Chan also participated in the film’s investment. At the scene that day, a trailer for the film was announced, and the five brothers also shared the breakthrough of the new film genre. It is reported that the film is scheduled for September 21.

The 4th Jackie Chan International Action Film Week will last from July 18th to July 22nd, and the 1905 Film Network will continue to report, so stay tuned.

1905 movie network feature Since its release, the word-of-mouth has been stable at 7.2 points. It can be said that the quality of the movie "Moscow Action" is in the first tier of the National Day. At the same time, the box office continued to decline.

The ++ configuration became the most "hardcore" point of view in the film. Andy Lau played the villain again after a lapse of 16 years, giving young audiences a different perception. But compared with the villain image of "Brother Hua", the most unexpected thing is that Miao Qingshan played by Huang Xuan is not only a villain, but also a villain with extreme madness.

After all, in the eyes of the public, Huang Xuan had been immersed in various literary and artistic film creations in the past, and the image of warmth and intelligence was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Buddhism, elegance, and gentleman… In this male actor, it is difficult to find details that belong to "evil".

It’s just that when "Moscow Action" found him, he uncharacteristically offered to be bad to the end, and even became the big villain, betraying his master Vasily (Andy Lau, played). When he faced the 1905 film network camera, he confessed, "When I saw the invitation, I was a little surprised, but it invisibly increased my ambition."

Sure enough, after he joined the play, he made Andy Lau feel oppressive, made his former partner feel unfamiliar, and even made actor Huang Xuan sigh "not suitable" after a year.

Although it was unfamiliar and unsuitable, Huang Xuan found another excitement for an actor.

"Villain" Miao Qingshan

"Since you want me to play the villain, why don’t you fight for a more extreme role?" When the script of "Moscow Action" was handed to Huang Xuan, he was also very surprised. So far in the performance, he has rarely seen such a role. Even in the hearts of the audience, he is more like "White Moonlight", even if the image of the husband in it is contrary to public perception.

When the producer learned of Huang Xuan’s request, he was also stunned and said that everyone should discuss it first. As a result, there was no news for a month. During this process, the crew team kept debating whether Huang Xuan could be qualified for Miao Qingshan. Even Andy Lau, one of the producers, said, "We discussed it many times." He didn’t know what Huang Xuan would look like, "Why don’t we let him play."

"But I don’t want to play a face-to-face villain." Huang Xuan made a request to himself.

To this end, before joining the group, he watched many domestic and foreign movies, trying to find the temperament and emotion that could be grafted on Miao Qingshan from those villains, "Everyone is not Miao Qingshan, I have to use my own expression and the state that fits the story situation to combine." In addition, like every actor, real criminal interviews are the way for Huang Xuan to find the most suitable fulcrum for the role.

Only when he arrived on the set, he temporarily put aside the things he had studied and studied before, and Huang Xuan slowly found the feeling of "Miao Qingshan".

"Operation Moscow" is the second collaboration between Mr. Huang and Ms. Wen, after playing a sea-loving couple in the series "Kyushu Sea Muyun." After filming, the two also established a good relationship, but this time, Huang Xuan’s studio "refused" to speak to Wen Yongshan. "She came to see me on the spot, so she immediately kept a distance from me."

In order to be more immersed in the character, Huang Xuan wrote a rich biography of the character before the boot, and the scene was basically like Miao Qingshan, wearing earphones and listening to Shostakovich’s music, "I stay by myself, and tell myself before the game, I am not Huang Xuan, she is not Wen Yongshan, don’t worry about others looking at me like this, just go to the scene to do stress reactions."

"He’s really unfamiliar." Wen Yongshan didn’t adapt to Huang Xuan’s state at first, but the tacit understanding of the actors soon understood the other party’s intentions.

All the ruthlessness and ferocity belonged to the character Miao Qingshan, "During that process, I didn’t think about whether I was fierce or not, right?" It was just that after a year, when the movie was about to be released and Huang Xuan met Miao Qingshan again, even he felt unfamiliar, "A little uncomfortable."

When the premiere saw the audience’s feedback on Miao Qingshan, Huang Xuan’s hesitant heart for this challenge seemed to fall, "Because this character is too bad, I’m afraid the audience will have other opinions about me, but I’m really happy to see that everyone still encourages me."

"Huang Xuan" · Play space

In order to allow himself to play out the possible details in the limited space as much as possible, Huang Xuan discussed with the director in advance whether he could add some details, such as his concern for his mother or his girlfriend. "For the rhythm of the film, there are some cuts and fades."

However, in the film, the director still retains the fantasy of Miao Qingshan playing the flute. During filming, Huang Xuan felt that since the character likes classical music so much, should he know a musical instrument? This proposal was quickly approved by the director.

During the filming, Huang Xuan had learned the flute and had a certain foundation. To this end, he asked the director for a month, and he found a teacher from the Qingdao Symphony Orchestra to guide him. Finally, for this scene, he learned "Evening on the Outskirts of Moscow".

The two-way rush of directors and actors to create is on display here. To this end, Qiu Litao mobilized various foreign musicians from all over the country and assembled a symphony orchestra full of foreign artists to cooperate with Miao Qingshan’s fantastical performance. Although the final film only took three seconds, which is a little regrettable, "I think it can still bring some reverse things to this character."

In addition, the rivalry between Miao Qingshan and Cui Zhenhai (played by Zhang Hanyu) in prison allowed Huang Xuan to play independently after "understanding Miao Qingshan and becoming Miao Qingshan".

In the original script, it was written that Miao Qingshan was handcuffed in prison and was very decadent. But when the scene was filmed, the police outside the prison were celebrating, singing and dancing very happily, "I instinctively got up. At that time, I felt that whether it was fear or depression, I always had a reverse emotion, and I used an emotion that was happier than you to confront you."

Huang Xuan understood Miao Qingshan with a completely human personality. Even when Cui Zhenhai handed the dumplings, he said, "I organized some of the lines myself. I think that scene can still hit the softest part of him, but it will soon change and talk to them."

"Actor" · Possibility

"Moscow Action" is a commercial film that Huang Xuan has rarely tried. Compared with past dramas or literary films that pay attention to the flow of life, it has higher requirements for the performance rhythm.

In this type of film, actors are not allowed to mix muddy things in their performances, and they often explain a lot in a few shots. When Huang Xuan starts to perform, he still has the usual performance inertia, "instinctively want to play a little more, or precipitate a little more." Qiu Litao always tells him directly, "This will be more." He will tell the actor very accurately how much time is needed here, and the rhythm will be good.

Fortunately, "Moscow Action" was the second collaboration between Huang Xuan and the director. Although it had been 10 years, he could still quickly find a tacit understanding of the rhythm. "At the beginning, the director would remind me, and soon he knew the rhythm he wanted."

Looking back at "Miao Qingshan" now, "This is what I want to try. The state of every scene in" Moscow Action "is something I have not expressed before." Whether it is his own cognition or the feedback from the audience, Huang Xuan is satisfied, "I seem to have the feeling of filming for the first time."

Every actor would have their own ambitions for acting, and Miao Qingshan unwittingly opened up Huang Xuan’s ambitions. There was never a world where this character was completely different from himself. In the past, Huang Xuan would always travel or recuperate to find the essence of the character and bring himself closer to the soul of the character, but this time it was completely different.

"I mobilized the energy I didn’t have before, and I think I can still do this, or I can try this, and I have transformed myself into that state as much as possible. As an actor, I am really excited." But if there was still a chance, Huang Xuan still wanted to play the villain again, "But it will definitely be different from Miao Qingshan."

Since his debut, Huang Xuan has also been slowly adjusting his state, just like "Moscow Action", which has never been tried before, and has the courage to take steps. But he also has a new understanding of the plan or goal. In 2022, he took an 8-month break, "Rest may also be faster to complete a self-improvement."

But this year, he may also be busy, seeing that he is interested in the script, "If you are tired, you may stop and do what you want to do. Let yourself be more pure and focus on the performance."

Today, China Hengda (03333.HK), Hengda Automobile (00708.HK), Hengda Property (06666.HK) suspended trading. As of the time of suspension, the three companies fell by 20.87%, 18.21% and 2.50% respectively.

On the news, the liquidation case of China Evergrande was re-heard in the Hong Kong High Court. The judge said that China Evergrande’s workout plan lacked progress, and the company was insolvent. It officially ordered Evergrande to be wound up, and held a hearing this afternoon to deal with the regulatory order and issue written reasons.

According to the Securities Times, a liquidation petition is a common means of debt collection under the Hong Kong legal system. The court issues a liquidation order, which declares that the company has entered bankruptcy and liquidation procedures. This means that the Hong Kong capital markets have ushered in the largest bankruptcy and liquidation of a real estate company. China Evergrande, which has debts of 2.40 trillion yuan, has been subject to creditors’ application for liquidation. In order to delay the liquidation, it has repeatedly expressed the preparation of a new workout plan. However, due to the slow progress of the workout plan, it was eventually ordered to be wound up by the court.

In fact, there are already signs that China Evergrande is about to receive a winding-up order. According to the official website of the Hong Kong Judiciary, Judge Chan Jing-fen is scheduled to hold a hearing on a potential regulatory order on the afternoon of January 29. Once such a regulatory order takes effect, it means that the court will oversee the winding-up process, which may involve the appointment of a liquidator.

The winding-up hearing has been postponed several times before

I was still trying to liquidate my debt last week

For Evergrande, the way to avoid a winding-up petition is to complete the workout. In order to win the approval of the restructuring plan, China Evergrande’s winding-up hearing has been delayed for a long time, with a total of seven delays.

The Hong Kong High Court had previously decided to postpone December 4, 2023 as the last time for China Evergrande’s liquidation hearing. However, at that time, China Evergrande was granted another extension time after the applicant suddenly said that it would not ask the court to issue a liquidation order and did not object to China Evergrande’s application for adjournment.

The winding-up order, which may be tied to the entry of new applicants, has been reported to include a winding-up petition at the hearing by a special panel of major overseas bondholders, a provisional group of creditors holding more than $2 billion in offshore notes secured by Evergrande and its backers. Industry lawyers say the move increases the chances of an immediate winding-up order.

Evergrande had been pushing for a restructuring plan to avoid liquidation. However, at the end of September and the beginning of October 2023, with Evergrande Real Estate and Xu Jiayin being investigated successively, China Evergrande could not meet the eligibility for the issuance of new bills, resulting in the failure to implement the restructuring plan that all parties had been working hard to promote. Since then, Evergrande has not disclosed a new workout plan.

China Evergrande tried to come up with a last-minute workout to avert a possible imminent liquidation before a liquidation hearing at the end of December. The plan is understood to include converting some of the debt held by foreign creditors into equity in the company and two Hong Kong-listed subsidiaries, and repaying the remainder with non-tradable "certificates" backed by foreign assets. However, creditors are widely seen as unlikely to accept Evergrande’s new plan, given the low likelihood of debt recovery and growing concerns about Evergrande’s future.

Just a few days ago, on January 25, the company also announced the sale of the interests of a project company. According to the announcement, Hengda Real Estate Group Guangdong East Co., Ltd. (the transferor), a subsidiary of China Evergrande, signed an agreement with (among others) the transferee, Shantou Hengyao Real Estate Development Co., Ltd., the transferor will transfer its 65% interest in the project company (Shantou Hengming Real Estate Development Co., Ltd.) to the transferee for a total consideration of 137.60 million yuan. As part of the transaction, the project company will forgive part of the debt of the transferor and its contacts to it, amounting to 376 million yuan. In the announcement, Hengda stated that the sale will revitalize the group’s projects, promote the resumption of work and production of the surviving projects, and protect the legitimate rights and interests of project investors, creditors, and homebuyers.

China Hengda recently disclosed that as of the end of November 2023, Hengda Real Estate involved a total of about 316.391 billion yuan of unliquidated maturing debts; at the end of October this figure was 301.363 billion yuan. In addition, as of the end of November 2023, Hengda Real Estate overdue business tickets accumulated about 2055.37 billion yuan.

In terms of litigation, as of the end of November 2023, Hengda Real Estate had a total of 2053 pending proceedings with a target amount of more than 30 million yuan, and the total amount of the target amount was about 490.069 billion yuan; at the end of October, these two figures were 2002 and 470.755 billion yuan respectively. During November 2023, Hengda Real Estate added 101 pieces of information to be executed compared with the end of October, and the total amount of new executions was about 13.048 billion yuan.

Evergrande real estate 2022 annual report shows that the company’s total liabilities 1.833819 trillion yuan, total assets 1.468557 trillion yuan, has been insolvent.

Hengda Sean: I have done my best, I am very sorry

According to the 21st Century Business Herald, in response, China Evergrande Executive Director, CEO, and Evergrande Group Executive President Sean responded that the Group and China Evergrande have made every effort to defend the petition for overseas liquidation. Previously, the Group supported and urged China Evergrande and its advisory team to continue to conduct comprehensive and in-depth exchanges with various creditors, adhere to the principles of marketization, rule of law, and internationalization to treat domestic and foreign creditors fairly, actively promote overseas workouts, and maximize and fairly protect the maximum interests of domestic and foreign creditors based on the actual situation of the company.

Sean said that although we have been working towards repairing and improving asset value and business vitality, objectively, the group’s operation is facing huge difficulties, resources are extremely limited, and the preliminary voting of creditors has not met expectations. Hengda Real Estate has been investigated by the China Securities Supervision Commission, and the group’s actual controllers have been taken compulsory measures according to law for suspected illegal crimes. The company also believes that it cannot meet the relevant legal conditions for key aspects of overseas workout. These circumstances make various uncertainties continue to intensify, so that the workout plan is ultimately difficult to implement. Today’s court ruling is contrary to our original intention. We can only express our best efforts and regret for this.

Next, the Group will face difficulties and problems, take all legal compliance measures, and steadily promote the normal operation of the Group’s business on the premise of protecting the legitimate rights and interests of domestic and foreign creditors.

Sean stressed that the subject of the overseas liquidation order issued by the court this time is China Evergrande, which is listed in Hong Kong. At present, the management and operation system of Evergrande Group and other domestic and foreign subsidiaries as independent legal entities remains unchanged. The group will still strive to do everything possible to ensure the stability of domestic business and operation, steadily advance key tasks such as guaranteeing the delivery of buildings, and maintain the quality of property services. It will still make every effort to ensure the smooth progress of risk resolution and asset disposal. It will still try its best to advance all work fairly in accordance with the law.　

Liquidation or impact on foreign assets

Expert: Guaranteed building has legal protection

According to the HKFC, under the relevant laws of Hong Kong, the court may issue a winding-up order against a company once it is satisfied that one of the requirements set out in section 177 (1) of the Companies Winding-up Ordinance (including the company’s insolvency) has been met. The court will take into account the wishes of the creditors and the principles of justice and fairness.

During the compulsory winding-up period, all proceedings against the company and actions by creditors are automatically suspended unless the court grants permission for such proceedings to begin or continue. In addition, the powers of the directors will be suspended, while the court-supervised liquidator will be responsible for recovering and realising the company’s assets, investigating the company’s affairs, adjudicating creditors’ claims, and distributing to creditors from the winding-up estate. Once the company is wound up, the liquidator will apply to the court to release the liquidator from liability and dissolve the company.

According to the Daily Economic News, a senior lawyer said that the liquidation of China Evergrande will not directly affect the domestic subsidiaries of Evergrande Group in the short term, such as the most concerned Hengda Real Estate. The bankruptcy liquidation of China Evergrande will not directly lead to the bankruptcy of Hengda Real Estate. At most, the equity of Hengda Real Estate held by China Evergrande may be disposed of during the bankruptcy liquidation process.

In addition, within the territory, home buyers have the statutory "super priority" according to law. On April 20 last year, the Supreme People’s Court issued the "Reply of the Supreme People’s Court on the Protection of Consumer Rights of Commercial Housing" (Fa Shi [2023] No. 1) (referred to as the "Reply"), which makes it clear that if a consumer of commercial housing purchases a house for the purpose of living and has paid the full price, and claims that his claim for the delivery of the house has priority over the right to payment for the price of the construction project, the mortgage and other claims, the people’s court shall support it. At the same time, the Supreme People’s Court also pointed out that in the case that the house cannot be delivered and there is no possibility of actual delivery, if the consumer of commercial housing claims that the right to return the price has priority over the right to payment for the construction project price, the mortgage and other claims, the people’s court shall support it.

According to the 21st Century Business Herald, a legal expert familiar with the situation said that, in general, as long as the debt risk is resolved in accordance with the law and regulations, the guaranteed building is guaranteed by law, which is the saying that "the sky cannot fall". The court’s ruling means that although China Evergrande has made every effort to defend the liquidation and promote the workout, it is still being liquidated due to its long-term accumulation of serious defects, and may eventually lead to the dissolution of the overseas company. Although there are still cases in history that the company can try to revoke the liquidation order by restarting the workout procedure under the leadership of the liquidator, the current probability for China Evergrande is only theoretical.　

"A fair, ordinary and objective view of China Evergrande’s liquidation"

　

　　Our reporter, Du Xiao　

　　The intern of this newspaper, Liu Yanqing

　　Recently, the person in charge of Didi’s access security publicly stated that the conservative estimate of the market size of online car-hailing black production reached 1 billion yuan.

　　Didi also said that the phenomenon of "people do not match" is directly a permanent suspension of service processing. The current platform targets the average daily face verification of drivers to 4.30 million times, covering 100% of the total number of drivers’ out-of-the-car verification and in-trip sampling, and the monthly average manual sampling review 600,000 times. Despite possibly facing the strictest controls, some drivers still take risks.

　　The Legal Daily reporter learned in the interview that at first, the illegal production of online car-hailing was mainly to register false driver accounts and receive orders to obtain platform subsidies. Later, some "vest cars" appeared in the development process of online car-hailing, that is, online car-hailing cars whose actual information does not match the registration information. However, with the increasing supervision and crackdown, the problem of black production of online car-hailing cars is gradually improving.

　　Called a car and found that the information did not match

　　Some passengers will not report

　　According to Didi, "the latest information from Didi’s intelligence team shows that the quotation of the black industry’s plan to bypass the face has exceeded 2,000 yuan."

　　After searching the Internet, the reporter found that relevant information such as registration can still be found, but the number is very small. Once contacted, the other party will ask to add WeChat for further details.

　　"If you don’t have enough driving experience to register with the original license plate, change the foreign license plate to the local license plate, and solve the problem that the system does not send orders," a merchant offering online registration services said in the advertisement. The price of this service is 200 yuan.

　　The reporter searched the other party’s public WeChat and found that the WeChat account could not be displayed abnormally, and then the other party provided another contact information. The other party told the reporter that the driving age is insufficient and cannot be handled, but the car age is over and the foreign license plate can be replaced with a local license plate. The average asking price is 1,000 yuan. "The 200 yuan price is just to attract buyers to come to consult."

　　When asked whether they could guarantee that they would not be banned, the other party said that whether a normal car could be banned depended on whether it would be complained by passengers. If there were many complaints, the number would be banned, and if there were few complaints, it would not. False registrations pose a risk of being banned. Think carefully before registering.

　　Regarding the issue of being banned, the other party also offered a trick: "Once the customer finds that there is a problem, he has to rely on his words to convince the customer, and if he can convince the customer, he will not be complained. Or when he is almost at the boarding location, he will call the customer again, divert the customer’s attention and make him not pay attention to the license plate, and then he will be fine."

　　Another registered merchant who advertised on the forum told reporters that it is generally impossible to register if the driving age does not match, and the online car-hailing platform has stricter supervision on this. However, there are also individual online car-hailing platforms that can register if the driving age is not enough. Although the review also has driving age requirements, it can be operated in the background. Charge 200 yuan to help register and activate the account, and ensure that it is in compliance with the registration, there will be no risk of being banned, and access to the order pool to grab the reservation will cost extra.

　　For passengers who encounter "people do not match", some people will not choose to report or complain.

　　A female passenger told reporters that she placed an order through the platform, and when the car arrived, she found that the license plate number was not the one displayed when she placed the order.

　　"At first I thought the driver was looking for the wrong person, but the driver explained to me that the platform had mistaken his information. The driver gave his mobile phone number to prove his identity, and other information displayed on the order was correct, so I got on the bus," the passenger said.

　　Another passenger also encountered a similar situation. He told the reporter that the waiting car did not match the information of the called car, but the driver said that it was his friend who took the order, and he came on behalf of the friend because of something temporary. If you are not at ease, you can place a new order. For safety reasons, the passenger chose to place a new order.

　　"It’s not credible to get the wrong information." Hu Ping (a pseudonym), who has been working as a part-time online ride-hailing driver since 2016, told reporters that if there is indeed an error in the registration of information, it is more difficult to correct the information, because the customer service is usually busy and cannot take care of it.

　　"Whether the information is true or not has a big impact on the driver. Once the passenger complains about this, the platform will block the driver," Hu Ping said. "When registering a driver’s account on the online ride-hailing platform, you need to upload a driver’s license, vehicle driving license, ID card, etc. As long as the information is true and the certificate is valid, the review can basically be passed within three to five working days."

　　There are many hidden dangers of fake accounts

　　The compliance process needs to be accelerated

　　It is understood that the Guangdong police had previously announced the top ten cyber security cases in 2017, among which the "Didi black product" case attracted attention. The police revealed that there were hundreds of thousands of accounts involved, and the amount involved was as high as tens of millions of yuan.

　　Zhao Zhanzhan, a special researcher at the Intellectual Property Research Center of China University of Political Science and Law, believes that online car-hailing black production involves issues such as the sale of personal information and vehicle information. At present, the supervision is already very strict. The reason why online car-hailing black production exists is because of market demand and profitability, coupled with some deficiencies in the management of online car-hailing platforms, which are exploited by criminals.

　　"Drivers registering fake accounts will bring safety hazards to passengers. On the one hand, they avoid the safety review of the platform, and on the other hand, they will increase the risk of personal harm to passengers. For example, some people may want to engage in illegal and criminal activities, some people may not be qualified to drive, and some people may not be skilled in driving." Zhao Zhanzhi said.

　　Fu Weigang, a researcher at the Shanghai Institute of Finance and Law, believes that in recent years, regulators have increasingly strictly regulated the online car-hailing market.

　　According to Fu Weigang, in January 2019, the Ministry of Transport issued the "Notice on the Key Points of Transportation Safety Production Work in 2019", proposing to speed up the process of online car-hailing compliance, and all localities have also continuously urged online car-hailing platform enterprises to speed up the process of compliance. The Shanghai Municipal Transportation Commission Law Enforcement Corps issued a notice requiring all online car-hailing platform enterprises to complete by the end of June: clear the registered vehicles without online car reservation qualifications in the platform, clear the non-compliant personnel and vehicles in the blacklist that were seized and warned in the early stage, improve the basic information of vehicles and drivers, and synchronize the supervision platform in real time. At the same time, platform companies are required to conduct offline entity inspections or reviews of newly registered vehicles and vehicles suspected of "vest" complaints, and strengthen legal education for drivers on the platform.

　　"In fact, for many users, they are mainly concerned about whether the driver drives well or not, whether the service is good or not, and whether the driver’s registration information matches the actual situation and whether the household registration is local. Some users may even worry that if the driver’s entry threshold is too high, the number of drivers will be reduced, which will lead to more expensive taxi prices," Fu Weigang said.

　　Zhao Zhan suggested that passengers themselves should raise their safety awareness and make more efforts within their means, including complaining to the platform if they find that the driver does not match the vehicle information, and assisting the platform in strengthening the management of drivers and vehicles.

　　Appropriately lowering the entry threshold

　　Promote the regular operation of drivers

　　In 2016, after the Ministry of Transport, MIIT and other seven ministries jointly issued the Interim Measures for the Administration of Online Booking Taxi Business Services, various localities successively issued detailed implementation rules.

　　According to media reports, in 2018, Hangzhou introduced a new policy, canceling a number of requirements for online car-hailing drivers, and at the same time adopting a policy of one test and two certificates. Once the driver passes the test, he not only obtains the qualification to drive an online car, but also can drive a taxi. This also makes the number of compliant drivers increase more than 3 times in 2018. At present, the number of online car-hailing drivers in Hangzhou who have obtained the qualification certificate has reached 55,000.

　　Yu Mingyuan, director of the Highway Traffic Development Research Center of the Highway Science Research Institute of the Ministry of Transport, said in an interview with the media that, for example, excessive requirements are placed on technology, and even excessive requirements are placed on the length and frame of the vehicle. Some also require local household registration, and now there are also requirements that the manufacturer is also local.

　　In Fu Weigang’s opinion, some places have set more restrictions on the access of online car-hailing drivers, which will lead to some people not meeting the conditions, which will lead to the creation of online car-hailing illegal production. The stricter the similar standards, the larger the scale of online car-hailing illegal production may be. "If the standards are too high, it will be more unsafe to have black cars. If the standards are relaxed, then some drivers can directly operate online car-hailing through regular channels."

　　Zhao Zhan also believes that to rectify the illegal production of online car-hailing, the threshold for online car-hailing should be appropriately lowered to solve the problem of non-compliance of some online car-hailing drivers. Judging from the implementation of online car-hailing policies, some places have introduced stricter policies, and there are fewer qualified drivers and vehicles. Although the high threshold for access to the online car-hailing market is one of the reasons for the emergence of illegal production of online car-hailing, if there is no access threshold, it will not meet the current laws and regulations, and it will also be opposed by the traditional taxi industry. The threshold for access to online car-hailing needs to be set, mainly whether the level is appropriate.

　　Fu Weigang suggested that to solve the problem of illegal production of online car-hailing, from the platform side, we should first improve the mechanism and system, so that passengers can promptly identify drivers with good service and poor service, and eliminate drivers with poor service. Secondly, the online car-hailing platform should be responsible for reviewing driver information and promptly connecting with the information systems of the public security department, transportation department and other relevant departments.

　　Zhao Zhan added that the platform side should play a leading role in the rectification of online car-hailing black production, and can identify fake accounts through technical means, increase the crackdown, and ensure the safety of passengers.

The noisy beach and the shiny black back of surfers reflect the faces of youth. In this summer, nothing has changed and everything continues.

In the film, the stories of several young people originated from the accidental inspiration of director Hu Jian, generate. Because a social news triggered him to want to create a story about cruel youth, he quickly made clear the theme of the film after completing the first draft. "I don’t care what time and where she is, because no matter what time and place, such a story of three young people may happen. It’s like a closed space, where anything can happen. In that environment, people may be more natural and primitive. What I want is the kind that dares to love and hate. "
