Spring Festival Life Research Institute | Aauto Quicker, Tik Tok, and video number compete for the Spring Festival Evening, and entertainment consumption must be grasped with both hands

Practitioners say

The Spring Festival, the most weighty traditional festival, is emitting a new "flavor of the year" with the iteration of the Internet.

With the opening of CCTV Spring Festival Evening, "Li Sisi’s Mouth Red Number" and "Zhang Xiaofei’s" I don’t know the color "coat" were all posted on the hot search in the form of pictures, texts and short videos. According to the data of e-commerce platform, Zhang Xiaofei’s expensive coats have been sold out within 10 minutes.

The cooperation between the Internet platform and CCTV Spring Festival Gala began in the Spring Festival of 2014, and this year is the ninth year. In the first few years, Tencent’s WeChat and QQ, Ali’s Alipay and Taobao created the New Year custom of online red envelopes for the Spring Festival, and expanded the online payment business with the Spring Festival red envelopes as the starting point; In the following 2020-2022, Aauto Quicker, Tik Tok and VideoNo. successively won the sponsorship rights of CCTV Spring Festival Gala with huge sums of money, and fulfilled their demands of promoting life and bringing forth new ideas through new forms of entertainment such as online interaction and fun play.

The rise of live broadcast with goods has set off a transition from consuming online content to buying physical objects online. As early as this year’s New Year’s Day, platforms such as Aauto Quicker and Tik Tok took the lead in opening the New Year’s Day activities, and opened up online channels for users to spend the New Year and buy new year’s goods through activities such as brand welfare purchase, origin new year’s goods and anchor challenge. According to iResearch’s China Live E-commerce Industry Research Report in 2021, by the end of 2020, the number of live webcast users in China has reached 617 million. Among them, the number of users ordering live broadcasts reached 388 million, accounting for 66.2% of users watching live broadcasts, that is, nearly two-thirds of users made purchases after watching live broadcasts.

A person familiar with CCTV’s cooperation in the Spring Festival Evening revealed to the Beijing News Shell Finance reporter that CCTV divides the copyright of the Spring Festival Evening into several types, including live video, recorded video, short video, highlights, social communication and hosting population broadcast. The price ranges from tens of millions to hundreds of millions. People in the industry generally believe that with the development of mobile Internet, users are increasingly unable to meet the one-way communication mode of "you pass me and I receive". Even a strong IP (intellectual property) like CCTV Spring Festival Evening needs to find ways to reach young audiences more easily. The short video and live broadcast platforms such as Tik Tok, Aauto Quicker and Video Number also need to sink further to gain more users, which makes their combination with the Spring Festival Evening seem logical.


Spring Festival Evening needs young people, and short videos are eager to pull new ones.

If the Spring Festival is the most important festival for Chinese people, then the CCTV Spring Festival Gala is as indispensable as the jiaozi at the banquet. However, with the development of mobile video technology, the Spring Festival Gala has gradually become a "background" under the dense barrage of live broadcast platforms, a "material library" for editing short videos by people in Weibo, and even an interactive project between Tik Tok, Aauto Quicker and video users.

On January 30th, the day before the Spring Festival Gala of the Year of the Tiger of CCTV, Tik Tok and Aauto Quicker announced that they had reached a cooperation with the Spring Festival Gala of CCTV in 2022. Their rights and interests included live broadcast, playback, short video and interaction, and the competition was obvious.

Different from the horizontal screens in Tik Tok and Aauto Quicker, earlier (January 25th), WeChat Video became the exclusive cooperation platform for CCTV to watch the Spring Festival Gala vertically. Not only did the official announcement enter the video number in the Spring Festival Evening, but the filming team also specially arranged a number of vertical screen shooting positions to ensure high-quality live broadcast from a unique perspective. Wechat also provided blessings, red envelopes, friends circle, status and other requirements for the vertical screen live broadcast of the Spring Festival Evening, and even exposed the "live broadcast" column of the "Discovery Page" to all WeChat users on the day of the Spring Festival Evening.

According to the data provided by Tencent, before the opening of CCTV Spring Festival Evening live broadcast, more than 1.95 million people had reserved live broadcast on the video number. On New Year’s Eve, more than 120 million people watched the Spring Festival Evening on the WeChat video number "Vertical Screen". The number of likes in the live broadcast of the Spring Festival Evening video number exceeded 350 million, the total number of comments exceeded 9.19 million, and the total number of reposts exceeded 5.51 million.

The cooperation between CCTV Spring Festival Evening and short video platform is more and more like a feast of copyright distribution.

The data shows that before the opening of CCTV Spring Festival Evening live broadcast in 2022, more than 1.95 million people had reserved live broadcast on the video number. On New Year’s Eve, more than 120 million people watched the Spring Festival Evening on the WeChat video number "Vertical Screen", and the number of praises in the live broadcast of the Spring Festival Evening video number exceeded 350 million times.


The short video platform that binds CCTV Spring Festival Evening also has its own considerations. According to the data, in 2021, Tik Tok, as the exclusive interactive partner of CCTV Headquarters Spring Festival Evening, had a total of 70.3 billion interactions with red envelopes that night, with a total of 1.221 billion people watching CCTV Spring Festival Evening live through Tik Tok. In 2020, Aauto Quicker "hand in hand" CCTV Spring Festival Evening, with a cumulative audience of 780 million in the live broadcast room, and the audience’s participation in the red envelope interaction in the Spring Festival Evening through Aauto Quicker exceeded 63.9 billion. Wechat, on the other hand, successfully promoted the Spring Festival red envelope through cooperation with CCTV Spring Festival Gala many years ago, and also achieved "overtaking in corners" in the field of mobile payment.

People in the industry generally believe that with the development of mobile Internet, users are increasingly unable to meet the one-way communication mode of "you pass me and I receive". Even a strong IP (intellectual property) like CCTV Spring Festival Evening needs to find ways to reach young audiences more easily. Short video and live broadcast platforms, such as Tik Tok, Aauto Quicker and Video Number, also need to sink further to gain more users, which makes their combination with the Spring Festival Evening seem logical.

Both virtual entertainment and physical consumption should be grasped?

Since the launch of CCTV Spring Festival Evening, sketch programs have been deeply loved by users, and even the dress of actors has become a topic of relish. The pink coat worn by Niu Li at the Spring Festival Gala in 2010, the purple sweater worn by Jia Ling in 2015, the pink sweater worn by Zhang Xiaofei in 2020 and this year’s "I don’t know the color" coat in Zhang Xiaofei are all eye-catching. Many people took photos and went to the e-commerce platform to search for orders, and many people bought and sold the same model on the short video platform.

As early as this year’s New Year’s Day, Aauto Quicker, Tik Tok and other platforms took the lead in opening New Year’s Day activities, through brand welfare purchase, new year’s goods of origin, anchor challenge, category day and other activities. According to the Data Report of "Tik Tok Good Goods and New Year Festival" in 2022, from January 1 to January 16, the cumulative time of the e-commerce live broadcast room in Tik Tok was 31.71 million hours, and the cumulative number of viewers in the live broadcast room reached 42.4 billion. The Consumption Trend Report of 2022 Aauto Quicker Quality New Year Festival shows that Changchun and Guangzhou are the most diligent in broadcasting the New Year Festival, while users in Beijing and Shenzhen have the highest consumption of new year’s goods. Middle-aged people and women are the main consumers of new year’s goods, and many categories of authentic new year’s goods such as food and drinks, beauty and skin care, clothing and jewelry, and household appliances are selling well.

As of June 2021, the number of short video users in China has reached 888 million. With the huge scale of users and the advantages of short video and live broadcast in content display, user interaction, propagation fission and so on, Tik Tok and Aauto Quicker have continuously planted high-quality short video content, live broadcast with goods and other forms in the past two years, further affecting users’ online and offline consumption habits.

A senior e-commerce person with experience in many e-commerce platforms commented and told Shell Finance reporter: "Tik Tok and Aauto Quicker cut e-commerce cakes in the way they are best at. From the perspective of realization, games are the best, followed by e-commerce. The short video and live broadcast of traditional consumer content are very dependent on the head anchor to’ eat’. Even if the platform makes money, it will be divided into a large piece by the anchor. Therefore, it is of course good for the live broadcast and short video platform to cut the cake in the field of e-commerce. If their users settle down in the future, get through social attributes and enrich SKUs (inventory units), there is still room for imagination. "

In the eyes of many people in the industry, Tik Tok follows a centralized traffic distribution method, and its model is more like Tmall’s B2C (brand merchants to consumers). For example, it uses self-built applets to attract brand customers to settle in, and gathers network celebrities to act as "shopping guides" for its own shelf goods; Aauto Quicker is still decentralized, and its model is more like C2C (individual seller to consumer) of Taobao. Aauto Quicker compares itself to the community, and compares different forms of e-commerce to "the canteen, supermarket and even department store in the community".

In terms of infrastructure, apart from building the bottom e-commerce page (shelves or secondary pages) and accessing external partners such as Taobao and JD.COM, the layout of Tik Tok and Aauto Quicker is also slightly different. Tik Tok has opened a small store entrance for brand merchants, added the function of commodity search, and purchased a payment license. In addition, Tik Tok store must be used in live delivery, so the meaning of self-built e-commerce platform is very obvious. Aauto Quicker has built a shopping cart (yellow car) and a logistics tracking system, optimized the combination of e-commerce and short video, opened an e-business school, improved the traffic delivery rules, and regarded e-commerce as a supplement to ecology.

From local life to industrial belt, short video platform has stepped into new consumption deep water area.

The three Spring Festivals affected by the epidemic are subtly changing the habits of users to "eat, drink and be merry". In addition to live broadcast, Tik Tok and Kuaishou’s shop-visiting anchors, as creators with their own traffic and trust, are constantly attracting users to search for local life content on the platform through shop-visiting videos and live broadcast coupons, which has also brought a new wave of traffic dividends to offline businesses. At present, Starbucks, Xicha, McDonald’s and other catering brands have settled in the short video platform.

Since blowing the horn of local life in 2020, Tik Tok and Aauto Quicker have continued to exert their efforts from the dimensions of supporting policies, content construction, activity creation and channel expansion. Take Aauto Quicker as an example. According to official data, it only charges 1% service fee to settled merchants, and merchants can set their own commission. In May last year, the function of "special group purchase" was fully opened at the entrance of the same city in Aauto Quicker. A month later, Aauto Quicker launched a small program "Eat, Drink and Play in Aauto Quicker" on WeChat, selling low-priced meal coupons in a centralized way, hoping to get through the consumption link of "planting grass" combined with group purchase and "weeding".

According to the data of iResearch, the local life service market in China will be 19.5 trillion yuan in 2020, and it will grow to 35.3 trillion yuan in 2025. The entry of the short video platform has injected new vitality into the local life of this trillion-dollar track, which not only poses a certain threat to the established players in the industry, but also brings new development opportunities.

With the continuous exploration of short video platform to offline real economy, the mode of "live broadcast+industrial belt" has also developed. For a time, the live broadcast of "the first county", "the first town" and "the first city" in the industrial belt constantly emerged. According to the data released by Linyi Municipal Bureau of Commerce, in 2021, the number of registered live broadcast merchants in Linyi Aauto Quicker reached 160,000. By the end of July of the same year, there were more than 290 fans with over one million anchors. There are about 6,500 large-scale merchants, and the number of registered users ranks first in the country; The transaction volume ranks third in the country.

In addition, the short video platform is also expanding in influencing people. Aauto Quicker e-commerce data shows that among e-commerce consumers, the order volume of people over 60 years old in 2021 increased by more than 122% compared with 2020; The GMV data of people over 60 years old in 2021 increased by more than 159% compared with 2020; The consumption enthusiasm of the elderly over 70 years old exceeds that of the people over 60 years old. In addition, the order volume of middle-aged and elderly people over 45 years old increased by over 96% in 2021 compared with 2020.

Why do middle-aged and elderly people also begin to prefer e-commerce live broadcast? First, the short video live broadcast lowers the threshold of information acquisition, and you can get a more intuitive and comprehensive understanding of goods by watching videos; The second is that live e-commerce has actually changed the lives of middle-aged and elderly people; At the same time, after the middle-aged and elderly people have gained tangible benefits, their trust relationship with e-commerce anchors has also been strengthened, and the maintenance of word-of-mouth by merchants has also made this relationship enter a benign development.

According to the analysis, at present, short video and live broadcast platforms are not only tools to provide entertainment content for the public, but also satisfy more people’s demands for living, shopping and even making a living at the consumption level, and constantly drive the growth of the real economy. The acceptance of live e-commerce by middle-aged and elderly people further confirms that short video live broadcast platforms such as fast and shaking are becoming a useful supplement to the real economy. From the development of industrial belts to the placing of orders in live broadcast rooms, live e-commerce has gradually penetrated into all aspects of daily life, and new consumption patterns have also emerged.

Beijing News Shell Finance Reporter Bai Jinlei Editor Yue Caizhou Proofread Wang Xin

Rider "Forrest Gump": While supporting the family, I will take the postgraduate entrance examination, and two years of hard work will eventually pay off.

  Gao Shuaiqi has begun to make plans for his graduate life, which will start in September.

  ■ Our reporter Jiang Peng

  Gao Shuaiqi, a 26-year-old boy from Henan Province, is a food delivery rider. On July 7, he waited for a surprise on the way to deliver food: the admission notice from Shanghai Jiaotong University! Gao Shuaiqi was admitted as a full-time master by Kaiyuan Law School of Shanghai Jiaotong University.

  "Welcome to Jiaotong University." Soon, Gao Shuaiqi’s story of postgraduate entrance examination was forwarded and praised by Weibo, the official of Shanghai Jiaotong University, and was blessed by many netizens.

  "At that time, after I delivered the order in my hand, I immediately rushed home and opened the notice with my family." Gao Shuaiqi wants to share this joy with his family most, but his father actually doesn’t know anyone after a cerebral infarction. That day, seeing the name of Gao Shuaiqi written on the notice, Gao Fu was so excited that he cried.

  Gao Shuaiqi wiped his father’s tears while trying to calm his heart. "Seeing my father’s tears, I just want to quickly take over the burden on him. Two years of hard work finally paid off. At that time, I couldn’t help but say to myself: It’s not easy! "

  Yesterday, when the reporter dialed Gao Shuaiqi’s phone number, it was the late rush hour of food delivery. At the other end of the phone, the young man spoke quickly: "This is the busiest time of the day, and it happens to be the weekend, and it may end later. This summer vacation, I want to send more orders for the rest of my life. "

  "I stood on the shoulders of my parents to get here today, and now it’s my turn to take care of them."

  Gao Shuaiqi is a retired college student. In 2015, he was admitted to Zhengzhou University of Light Industry, majoring in marketing, and served as the monitor of the class. He also joined the party in college. However, the dull college life made him feel confused about the future. After much deliberation, Gao Shuaiqi decided to drop out of school for two years and sign up for the army.

  The days when he was stationed in the frontier made him accustomed to hard work, and also shaped a strong, optimistic and fearless character. "After you come back, I know what I really want. I wanted to see a bigger world, so I began to work hard and decided to take an interdisciplinary examination. "

  Who knows, when preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination, my father had an accident In August last year, Gao Shuaiqi’s father was hospitalized for cerebral hemorrhage, and then he was hospitalized several times because of cerebral infarction. Gao Shuaiqi suddenly became the pillar of the family. In April this year, after Gao Shuaiqi was admitted, he decided to be a courier brother first, so that he could have an income, reduce the family’s financial burden, and have relatively free time to take care of his family, and at the same time he could continue to prepare for the "law exam" (that is, the legal professional qualification exam).

  "My father can’t speak clearly now, and he will play with fire and water like a child, which is basically inseparable from people. I stood on the shoulders of my parents to get here today, and now it’s my turn to take care of them. " Usually, apart from the stationmaster of the express workstation, few people know that Gao Shuaiqi supports a family of four by himself. Every afternoon, when others have a rest, he rushes home to cook for his younger brother in junior high school. It’s already eleven or two o’clock when he comes home after delivery at night, and then he reads and studies, sometimes reviewing until two or three in the middle of the night. Even during the two or three months in hospital with his father, in order not to fall behind in his studies, he made a review plan for himself in the ward: memorizing 5 questions and 1000 English words.

  Gao Shuaiqi said frankly that he dropped out of school and signed up for the army at that time in order to get out of the comfort zone and figure out what he really wanted. Now the postgraduate entrance examination also wants to get out of the comfort zone. The reason why I choose the law major is that I hope I can help more people in the future.

  He is "Forrest Gump" in the eyes of his colleagues, and his work is very poor.

  Gao Shuai Banner has a nickname, Forrest Gump. One of his colleagues said that he was called "Forrest Gump" because of his seriousness and persistence. "He is a zero-bad-review takeaway here. He usually works very hard. In summer, at a temperature of nearly 40 degrees Celsius, he delivered the heaviest takeaway of 80 kilograms and sent it to the 14th floor on foot."

  In Gao Shuaiqi’s eyes, "Forrest Gump" means "don’t lie flat and rot, use your own hands to support yourself and take care of your family". Now, Gao Shuaiqi has begun to make plans for his graduate life to be opened in September: study hard and pass the "law exam"; Next, practice well to increase experience and experience; Do more things of social value and help more people in the future.

  He admits that he is still working as a courier brother, hoping to save one or two thousand yuan before school starts. After the start of school, he is going to join the work-study program and apply for a student loan. Of course, he does not rule out continuing to send takeout.

  It is understood that Kaiyuan Law School of Shanghai Jiaotong University has contacted Gao Shuaiqi for the first time and introduced him to various funding policies of the college.

  Guan Hannan, the relevant person in charge of the college, said that there is more than one similar student in Kaiyuan Law School. Their self-reliance, academic commitment and outstanding performance have also become role models for more peers to some extent. The college will also provide all kinds of support for these students.

  This college has a WeChat group called "Kaiyuan Rongyao", and many members are students like Gao Shuaiqi. One of them is Huang Jiadong, a student from a poor mountain. Huang Jiadong, who is constantly striving for self-improvement, was admitted to Antai School of Economics and Management of Shanghai Jiaotong University, and then went straight to Kaiyuan Law School to continue his postgraduate studies. He also became a candidate for national college students’ self-improvement this year. Another student named Fang Chao is about to become Gao Shuaiqi’s classmate. During the epidemic, Fang Chao was an outstanding volunteer in his community … …

  "Every one of them has encountered difficulties and twists and turns, but they all pursue their dreams with enthusiasm and persistence. I hope that their stories will encourage more candidates in this special exam season. " Guan Hannan said.

Li Huisen, member of Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference: Incorporate the younger generation of entrepreneurs into the overall national talent training plan.

  Member Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, Director of Lee Kum Kee Group and Chairman of Lee Kum Kee Health Products Group Li Huisen.

Member Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, Director of Lee Kum Kee Group and Chairman of Lee Kum Kee Health Products Group Li Huisen.

  Cctv news(Reporter Li Yinan) At the two sessions of the National People’s Congress in 2021, Li Huisen, member of Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, director of Lee Kum Kee Group and chairman of Lee Kum Kee Health Products Group, submitted two proposals, namely, Proposal on Incorporating Young Entrepreneurs into the National Master Plan for Talent Cultivation and Proposal on Further Promoting the Scientific Development of Chinese Medicine Health Industry.

  Strengthening planning and design to cultivate young entrepreneurs’ social responsibility and entrepreneurial spirit

  After decades of reform and opening up, most of the "entrepreneurial generation" have entered the twilight years, and the "entrepreneurial second generation" entrepreneurs have begun to emerge. Li Huisen said that in the face of increasingly complex international and domestic environment, whether the younger generation can successfully take over and become qualified successors, promoters, reformers and entrepreneurs of the older generation of entrepreneurs will largely determine the future of China family businesses and will also have an important impact on the sustained and healthy economic development of China.

  "Family business accounts for about 80% of private enterprises, and it has become a force that cannot be ignored in China’s economic system." Li Huisen said that in the face of intergenerational replacement of family businesses, the younger generation should not only inherit wealth, but also inherit entrepreneurship. He believes that the education and training of young entrepreneurs is not a family matter or a private matter of family business, but a major event and important matter related to the economic and social development of the party and the country.

  Li Huisen said that the younger generation of entrepreneurs need more guidance and training in social responsibility and entrepreneurship. "Due to the differences in growth environment, life experience, knowledge structure and values, there is a generation gap between the two generations of family businesses, which is not conducive to young people to form correct values in the process of inheritance. The younger generation has high academic qualifications, high starting point and active thoughts, but they have less practical experience, great pressure and weak sense of social responsibility. " To this end, he proposed that the training of the younger generation of entrepreneurs should be included in the overall national talent training plan, and a training base for the younger generation of family businesses should be established to create a practical education platform. Support and standardize the existing professional communication platform for family businesses, and form a benign ecological system by cooperating and promoting social organizations and various professional institutions with the support of the government and spontaneously established by the younger generation on the basis of forming a common goal.

  At the same time, Li Huisen suggested that the government should take the lead in organizing interactive and experiential activities, and help the younger generation of family businesses to establish the values of "we are greater than me" by means of cross-regional, cross-generational and cross-industry sharing and exchanges with family business organizations, and guide them to inherit and carry forward the fine style of the older generation of entrepreneurs, so as to get rich, think ahead and contribute to society.

  "We should also give play to the exemplary role of advanced models, establish archives of the younger generation of representatives of the non-public sector of the economy, increase political propaganda for particularly outstanding representatives, conduct typical interviews with the younger generation of entrepreneurs, and encourage more younger generations to strengthen their ideals and beliefs and promote entrepreneurship." Li Huisen said.

  Promote the development of industrial science and realize the social co-governance of Chinese medicine health industry

  "Traditional Chinese medicine is a treasure of the Chinese nation, an important health resource, an excellent cultural resource, a potential economic resource and a scientific and technological resource with original advantages." Li Huisen said that the health industry is connected with people’s livelihood and economic development at one end. With the development of social economy, people’s health awareness has improved, especially with the change of disease spectrum, the arrival of an aging society and the change of lifestyle, the importance of the health industry is self-evident.

  In recent years, the state has given priority to the protection of people’s health, and issued a series of policies to comprehensively promote the construction of a healthy China, so that the health industry can develop rapidly. In 2020, the scale of Chinese medicine health industry will exceed 3 trillion yuan, and Chinese medicine health has become one of the industries with the most development potential.

  Li Huisen said that with the continuous growth of people’s health demand and the rapid expansion of market scale, there is still room and necessity for innovation and deepening in strengthening scientific supervision of Chinese medicine health industry, expanding Chinese medicine cultural propaganda and rationally safeguarding consumers’ rights and interests. Therefore, in the Proposal on Further Promoting the Scientific Development of Chinese Medicine Health Industry, Li Huisen proposed that the scientific development of Chinese medicine health industry can be promoted from four aspects.

  One is to strengthen the strategic planning of Chinese medicine health industry, the other is to scientifically supervise Chinese medicine health food, the third is to promote Chinese medicine culture into the campus, and the fourth is to implement the social co-governance of Chinese medicine health industry. Li Huisen believes that although the state has made relevant plans for the health industry, with the continuous expansion of the health industry and the increasing demand for products, services and quality in the consumer market, as well as the trend of diversified development of market players, it is necessary to further study and formulate the development strategy of the health industry with the characteristics of China in the new era, so as to optimize the industrial resources and lead the innovative development of the health industry of traditional Chinese medicine.

  "It is necessary to clarify the food attributes and positioning of Chinese medicine health food, and clearly define the differences with other foods and medicines. It is necessary to take the catalogue of raw materials and the functional catalogue that allows health food to claim as the starting point, and encourage enterprises to inherit the traditional Chinese medicine health preservation theory and develop new functional new products. It is necessary to standardize and guide the research and development and verification of functional claims of enterprises and inspection and evaluation institutions, implement the main responsibility of enterprises, and promote the innovation and development of Chinese medicine health food industry. " Li Huisen suggested that a platform of "government-led, supplemented by industry associations, enterprises, media and consumers" should be formed, and pre-guidance, post-event supervision and self-discipline of enterprises, product upgrading and popularization of health knowledge should be strengthened, so as to realize social co-governance of Chinese medicine health industry.

  The strong cast has become a strong guarantee for the excellent quality of the drama. In addition to popular actors William Chan and Golden Horse-winning actress Sandra, the escort of powerful actors represented by Liu Yijun, Wu Gang, Ji Wang, Li Jianyi, Hu Jing and Feng Guoqiang made The Age of Orange Red even more interesting. There is a fierce confrontation between the black and white factions, and it is possible to stage a dangerous confrontation or a nervous psychological war at any time. Nie Wanfeng is decent and elegant on the surface, but in fact, he is secretly engaged in the most abhorrent drug trade, and his means are cruel and sinister, hiding behind everyone in an attempt to manipulate the overall situation.

  In the plot setting of "The Age of Orange Red", the story is based on a thrilling and tortuous anti-drug case. The protagonists stubbornly confront the evil forces in a complex environment, and a large number of action scenes and gun battles are unambiguous, which is bound to make the audience feel adrenaline soaring while watching. At the same time, in addition to its visual impact, Orange Age pays special attention to the audience’s viewing experience and pays attention to the most simple and sincere emotional needs of ordinary people’s lives, so that the audience can feel a strong sense of bringing in and identity. The love between Liu Ziguang and Hu Rong refuses to be flashy and false. The grounded love process makes the love of "Guangrong CP" more real and moving. There is both a sweet side and a cruel side. Hu Rong is getting closer to the truth step by step, and the target of killing his father’s enemy is actually Liu Ziguang. What kind of ending will be the biggest suspense of this drama for the lovers who have already surpassed life and death emotionally. Apart from love, the deep affection between Hu Rong and two fathers’s father and daughter, and the mutual support and life-long friendship between Liu Ziguang and the "out-and-out" brothers group will stimulate the lacrimal gland of the audience, stimulate emotional resonance and meet the emotional demands of all ages.

Just the outline of the script was polished nine times, which took two years, only to make the story come from life and be higher than life, showing the most realistic and vivid market, and at the same time, it has a higher level of sublimation. The actors are also dedicated and meticulous in the filming process, and they are close to the characters to the greatest extent, so that the audience can also feel the fate of the characters in the TV series. William Chan started physical training before turning on the computer, in order to gain muscle, grow beard and get a tan for the role of Liu Ziguang. William Chan once revealed: "When I think of a very Liu Ziguang behavior before going to bed, I will record it and discuss with the director whether it can be added to the play the next day. I think about this role all the time, and I just hope to present a three-dimensional Liu Ziguang to everyone. " Sandra also asked her father, who is a policeman, many details, including the posture when searching, whether to wear plain clothes or police uniforms when entering the interrogation room, etc. She said frankly: "If there is a little mistake, the role you created is unprofessional, so you must pay attention to it." "The Age of Orange Red" brings together the ingenuity of craftsmen and opens up a new pattern of realistic themes, which will bring a refreshing experience to the audience.

Liu Ziguang and Nie Wanfeng were once brothers.

  Just mission

  Pay tribute to heroes, carry forward positive energy, pay attention to anti-drug law popularization and convey correct values

  "Orange Age" is deeply concerned about the national topic of "drug control", and taking legal education as a task of the drama series will lead the correct value orientation. At the same time, the drama truly achieved the "police and the people as a whole", and abandoned the traditional relationship that one side sought help and the other side protected. Instead, Qi Xin made concerted efforts to fight side by side and fought bravely with evil forces hand in hand. The "small" figures headed by Liu Ziguang are detested of evil, and dare to stand up and be brave. Whether it is to help friends who are in trouble around them with practical actions, actively resist unfair monopoly in the market, or cooperate with the police to punish evil and promote good, they all show the brilliance of human nature in defending justice. Two generations of public security heroes, represented by Hu Rong’s father and daughter, love their jobs, are not afraid of sacrifice, and inherit their mission. The older generation of public security police are calm and decisive, and they are brave and resourceful in dealing with all kinds of major cases. They are even heroes like Huang Zhenwu, Hu Rong’s biological father, who lost the opportunity to reunite with their loved ones for the great anti-drug cause, and even sacrificed their precious lives and made great sacrifices, which deserves everyone’s admiration. The new generation of public security police are not inferior. They are not afraid of power and have the courage to take responsibility. They always put the safety of one party in the first place. Hu Rong’s family are worried that she will encounter danger in her work and oppose her becoming a policeman. However, her persistence in her ideals and beliefs has never wavered. "The Age of Orange Red" depicts a United and friendly public security team, in which Hu Rong grew and changed. As a survivor of the heroic spirit,Surrounded by selfless love, I also give back my blood. Such a group of righteous sons have made great contributions to social stability and harmony, and set an example for people from all walks of life. "Orange Age" pays tribute to heroes, models and promotes truth, goodness and beauty by conveying the positive energy of the people’s group images and the public security police in the new era, and praises a vigorous era of justice.

CDC suggested that two groups of people should be vaccinated with COVID-19 vaccine as soon as possible.

The online and offline supply of antipyretics and COVID-19 drugs is sufficient.

  In the past few days, the reporter saw from the circle of friends that a small number of "small partners" exposed the test results of COVID-19 antigen and showed positive results. Can I buy COVID-19 drugs such as Pfizer Paxlovid and Azvudine online now? There is no infection, do you need to prepare medicine at home? Who needs COVID-19 vaccine? In the past few days, the reporter has written the latest situation of disease prevention and control through online pro-testing, visiting pharmacies and combing authoritative information.

  Pro-test:

  Doctors can buy COVID-19 medicine in medical e-commerce with valid prescriptions.

  Can I buy COVID-19 drugs on the medical e-commerce platform? On the morning of May 8, the reporter searched for Ali Health, JD Health and Meituan to buy medicines, but the keywords "Pfizer Paxlovid" and "Azvudine" on the home page all showed no results. Subsequently, the reporter consulted the doctor of its Internet hospital in JD Health and proposed to buy Pfizer Paxlovid. The doctor said that at present, JD.COM’s official self-operated platform does not have this medicine, but it can be purchased through the platform’s cooperative pharmacies. It is understood that this partner is the flagship store of Guokang Medical Clinic. The reporter saw from the store’s page that at present, azvudine, Pfizer Paxlovid (Nimatvir Tablets/Ritonavir Tablets) and Monola Wei Capsules of Merck are all available for sale. However, according to the process shown on the page, it is an appointment service, which requires registration+diagnosis and treatment+prescription, so it can be regarded as a one-time service.

  In terms of selling price, the prices of azivudine, Pfizer Nimatvir Tablets/Ritonavir Tablets and Rituorui (Monola Wei Capsule) of Merck are 299 yuan, 2,170 yuan and 1,825 yuan. The reporter noticed that some users left a comment on May 3rd: "Buy on the first day and deliver on the second day", and the photos uploaded in the comment showed that the production date of azvudine was January 2023 and the validity period was until January 2024.

  The reporter bought drugs in Meituan and entered the "COVID-19 Free Clinic" search. When he entered the "fever clinic guidance desk" page, there were five kinds of COVID-19 drugs to buy, all of which were shown as prescription drugs, including Pfizer Paxlovid (combined packaging of Naimatvir tablets/ritonavir tablets), Leruiling, Xiannuoxin (combined packaging of Xiannuowei tablets/ritonavir tablets), Mindevio and Rituorui. According to the page, the above drugs are not open for retail sale, and only users with positive nucleic acid/antigen can consult online doctors with positive results. When the reporter tried to buy Pfizer Paxlovid, he had to fill in the basic information and upload the positive certificate of COVID-19 infection, otherwise he could not enter the next Internet doctor’s diagnosis prescription.

  In terms of selling price, Pfizer Paxlovid shows 2170 yuan, which is the same as that of JD Health platform. For the other four models, the prices of Leruiling, Sanofin (combined packaging of Sanofibrate Tablets/Littori Tonavir Tablets), Mindevio and Lezhuorui are 698 yuan, 725 yuan, 725 yuan and 1499 yuan respectively.

  The reporter tried to buy COVID-19 medicine in Ali Health Pharmacy, and asked the doctor for a fever. At the expense of 5 yuan, he hung up the number of a doctor in Ali Health Internet Hospital, simply stated his illness and said that he needed to prescribe Pfizer Paxlovid, and soon the doctor made a prescription. However, in addition to doctors’ prescriptions, the platform also needs to fill in personal ID cards and other related information. After the information is filled in, you can enter the payment page. Pfizer Paxlovid shows that the price is also 2170 yuan on Ali Health Platform. According to insiders, COVID-19 medicine is sold in pharmacies, and pharmaceutical e-commerce provides a way to find medicine.

  As for ibuprofen sustained-release capsules, Lianhua Qingwen tablets, acetaminophen tablets, Ganmaoling granules, Yanyan tablets and other drugs, according to a number of medical e-commerce platforms, they are currently sold in stock and the goods are sufficient.

  Offline, "We now have Paxlovid from Pfizer (referred to as drug P) and Monola Wei from Merck (referred to as drug M); Compared with the existing consumption, the supply is sufficient. At present, the number of users of drug P is significantly higher than that of drug M. " The reporter learned from Guangzhou Hejia Hospital that in terms of price, drug P is 1790 yuan/box, and drug M is 1500 yuan/box. These drugs are sold at zero price. At present, the people who use drug M are mainly patients who can’t or are inconvenient to use drug P, such as patients with poor liver and kidney function, or patients who are currently using a variety of drugs at the same time and will adjust the dosage and frequency of a large number of drugs because of taking drug P, which will increase the difficulty of monitoring.

  Guangzhou United Family Hospital reminded that according to the process, Paxlovid from Pfizer and Monola Wei from Merck are both therapeutic drugs, and they need to be used only when COVID-19 is diagnosed. Therefore, the drug generally needs to be prescribed to patients who meet the drug instructions after the doctor’s diagnosis.

  Inactivated vaccines and recombinant protein vaccines are in sufficient supply in the market.

  "According to the recent monitoring of outpatients, the incidence of local influenza has shown a downward trend, while the infection situation in Covid-19 has increased slightly." Hu Dandan, director of the Children’s Health Department of Guangzhou Women and Children Medical Center, said this.

  Last month, the Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism of the State Council issued the Work Plan for Vaccination in Response to the Recent Infection in Covid-19, which made it clear that the focus of vaccination in China at this stage is to fill the gap in immune level for different target groups and further reduce the risk of severe illness and death. Foshan CDC reminds that two groups of people who need to be vaccinated with COVID-19 vaccine as soon as possible include uninfected people who have not completed the established procedures and infected people who have not completed the basic immunization. The first group of uninfected people includes those aged 3-17 who are uninfected and have not completed the basic immunization, those aged over 18 who are uninfected and have not completed the first dose of booster immunization, and those aged over 18 who are uninfected and have not completed the second dose of booster immunization (high-risk people with infection, elderly people over 60 years old, people with serious basic diseases and people with low immunity). The second group of people who have been infected and have not completed basic immunization can be vaccinated with one dose after 3 months of infection.

  It is understood that at present, inactivated vaccines (Zhongsheng, Kexing), recombinant protein vaccines (Zhifei, Livzon) and inhaled Kangxinuo adenovirus vector vaccines are relatively abundant in the market, and the disease control department suggests that qualified people can complete vaccination as soon as possible after meeting the time interval requirements.

  Experts: Pay attention to vulnerable people and monitor early warning.

  Covid-19 is back in the public eye again. What should we do? Zhang Wenhong, director of the Infectious Diseases Department of Huashan Hospital affiliated to Fudan University, said that to deal with the secondary infection in COVID-19, it is necessary to pay attention to vulnerable people, keep monitoring and early warning, prepare drugs well, and respond quickly to the arrival of any mutant strain.

  Covid-19 infection treatment drugs are still welcoming "new stars". On March 28th, the quotation information of Shanghai Medical Insurance Bureau was publicized, and the treatment cost of Leruiling Lairuitewei tablets was 628 yuan per course, and it was included in the list of Class A drugs.

  Up to now, there are six kinds of oral small molecule anti-COVID-19 drugs approved for marketing in China, including two imported drugs, Paxlovid (Nimatvir Tablets/Ritonavir Tablets) and Molnupiravir (Monola Wei Capsules), and four domestic drugs, namely azvudine, Mindevio, Senosin and Leruiling.

  Li Ning, CEO of Junshi Bio, said earlier: "From the perspective of pharmaceutical manufacturers, the first thing we have to do is to be prepared. If there is infection, our drugs can meet the needs of patients "; Huaxin Securities Research Report believes that the demand for oral drugs in COVID-19 may reach a peak. In addition, the demand for COVID-19 drugs among people over 60 will remain at a high level.

Buprofen tablets production workshop

  In the field of proprietary Chinese medicines, the reporter visited pharmacies and found that local "star drugs" such as Baiyunshan Banlangen granules, Kouyanqing granules, Baiyunshan antiviral oral liquid and Xiaochaihu granules were all placed in a conspicuous position. Guangzhou Pharmaceutical Group introduced Baiyunshan and Huangzhong Medicine. On the one hand, the daily production capacity of Baiyunshan Radix Isatidis granules and compound Radix Isatidis granules can reach 200,000 packs. On the other hand, consumers are more rational, and most of them are purchased in small batches, so the channel supply can basically be met; Baiyun Mountain Huacheng Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. said that Baiyun Mountain antiviral oral liquid continued to sell well. The company had previously introduced a new production line to produce antiviral oral liquid, in order to increase production capacity to meet market demand.

Domestic laser air defense system appears in the Middle East and can continuously penetrate five layers of steel plates.

  [Reporter Xu Luming, Global Network Military Report on February 23rd] On February 19th, the 13th Abu Dhabi International Defense Exhibition opened in Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Center, the capital of the United Arab Emirates. Eight China military and trade companies participated in the exhibition in the form of "China Defense" national exhibition group, and the exhibits covered many fields such as airplanes, missile weapon systems, tanks, ships, drones and radars. Among the exhibitors in China, the silent hunter exhibited by Poly Technology Co., Ltd. is one of the most eye-catching weapons. This is a low-altitude laser air defense system independently developed by China, which is also the first appearance of the vehicle-mounted mobile type of this weapon.

  According to the website of Jane’s Defense Weekly, the "Silent Hunter" air defense system was put into use during the G20 Summit in Hangzhou in 2016. According to the report, according to the brochure distributed on the spot, the standard output power of the "Silent Hunter" laser is 30 kW, and the maximum range is as high as 4,000 meters. The main purpose of the laser is to intercept low-altitude unmanned aerial vehicles, and its laser power is said to be able to penetrate five layers of steel plates with a thickness of 2 mm at a distance of 800 meters, or 5 mm thick steel plates at a distance of 1000 meters.

  "Jane’s" reporter saw at the scene that the "Silent Hunter" air defense system was composed of equipment units the size of a medium truck, and the official said that it could not be used as an airborne aircraft due to volume and weight restrictions. However, potential customers from many countries have shown strong interest in this weapon system.

  According to the reporter of the World Wide Web, the "Silent Hunter" low-altitude laser air defense system uses laser beams to deal with drones or aircraft, which has the advantages of fast response speed, high interception hit rate and simple guarantee, and has significant advantages in safety and multi-target response capability. "Silent Hunter" integrates search, tracking, strike and damage assessment, so as to achieve search and capture, lock and track and shoot down the target.

  Compared with traditional air defense weapons, the "Silent Hunter" low-altitude laser air defense system has the following characteristics: first, it has fast response speed and can "hit where it points"; Secondly, it has high interception hit rate and multi-target strike ability, and can complete target switching and aiming within 6 seconds; Then there is the low cost, which only consumes electric energy, and the cost of one launch power is less than one dollar. At the same time, ammunition is not used, which avoids the troubles of ammunition transportation and storage. And collateral damage is small, and a large number of fragments will not be formed.

  At present, Silent Hunter provides four power modes, which are 5kW, 10kW, 20kW and 30kW respectively. The interception radius increases from 200m to 4000m, and the capture range of the target is over 4000m. It can intercept targets with a diameter of less than 2 meters and a flight speed of less than 60 meters per second. There are two versions of the low-altitude laser air defense system, which are mobile and fixed. Vehicle-mounted chassis can be installed on 6X6 wheeled chassis, and stationary chassis can be separated into independent parts with each size not exceeding 200 kg, which is convenient for transportation or installation on the top of buildings.

China Unicom: Building the Digital Silk Road with High Quality

"Intelligence and informatization are the development trends of the industry. Countries should strengthen exchanges and cooperation in the fields of 5G and artificial intelligence and share the fruits of technological development." During the activity of "Chinese Envoys Entering the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology" held on April 18th this year, more than 100 Chinese Envoys and representatives of international organizations visited China Unicom. When visiting China Unicom Innovation Experience Center, Lebanese Ambassador to China Miriya Jabr said.

"5G technology will bring profound changes to the world, but there is no 5G application in Botswana at present." Moluohua, Minister Counselor of Botswana Embassy in China, who was in close contact with the 5G application scene for the first time, was very interested in the digital transformation of 5G-enabled production mode in the exhibition hall. She said that the development experience of China was very inspiring and she looked forward to deepening cooperation with China in the fields of smart agriculture, education and infrastructure.

In recent years, China Unicom has made great efforts to improve its core competitiveness and sustainable development ability, achieved new results by promoting high-quality development with new weather and new actions, and helped Chinese modernization with digitalization, networking and intelligence. At the same time, China Unicom is actively building new digital infrastructure around the world to provide high-quality information and communication services to customers around the world. Especially in the past decade, China Unicom has thoroughly implemented the "Belt and Road" initiative, aiming at a new leap in development quality, a new layout of infrastructure, a new breakthrough in digital intelligence services, new scientific and technological innovations, and a new improvement in governance efficiency, expanding new space for international cooperation and building a digital Silk Road with high quality.

Building a new digital infrastructure

China Unicom not only has the international land and sea cable resources and backbone Internet with "East-West mutual aid, North-South mutual backup, land-sea cooperation and robust access" in the world, but also is providing high-quality computing load-bearing network, data center and cloud network edge integration services for users all over the world.

In July 2018, China Unicom set up a leading group to participate in the "Belt and Road" construction, and has worked out an annual action plan for the "Belt and Road" construction for six consecutive years to comprehensively promote the construction of digital information infrastructure.

In fact, the gradual maturity of China Unicom’s international business can be traced back to 2015. In May 2015, China Unicom International Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Unicom International"), which aims to provide a package of comprehensive information services to global customers, was formally established, becoming the preferred partner of international digital services for Chinese-funded enterprises to "go global" and foreign-funded enterprises to "come in".

Over the years, China Unicom has actively improved the network capabilities of countries and regions along the Belt and Road Initiative, and comprehensively planned the construction of global submarine optical cables, overseas land cables, submarine cable landing stations, international customs offices and cross-border land cables. At present, China Unicom has more than 20 land and cable border stations, and has completed interconnection with dozens of operators around it, many of which are unique resources with distinctive features. For example, several sets of large-capacity and low-delay wavelength division systems built between Shenzhen and Hong Kong are important channels connecting the mainland with Hong Kong and overseas; China-Russia, China-Mongolia and China-Kazakhstan land cables are important channels connecting Central Asia and Europe, while China-Laos, China-Vietnam and China-Myanmar land cables are important channels connecting ASEAN countries. At the same time, China Unicom enjoys capacity in more than 60 submarine cable systems, and multi-path terrestrial optical cables and multiple submarine cables in the direction of "Belt and Road" can be mutually safely backed up, connecting major countries and regions along the route. On May 12th, 2022, the SEA-H2X submarine cable initiated by China Unicom began to be laid, and it is planned to be put into operation in 2024. It will connect China, Hongkong, China, Hainan, the Philippines, Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore, and further extend to Vietnam, Cambodia and Indonesia. After the completion of the submarine cable, it can effectively meet the demand for network bandwidth in Asia and speed up the digital industrialization and industry digitalization in Asia and the world.

Signing ceremony of Asia-Africa-Europe No.1 submarine cable project.

However, the layout of China Unicom is far more than that.

As early as August 2017, the China-Myanmar International Cross-border Optical Cable (CMI) jointly built by China Unicom and Myanmar MPT was completed and put into operation. This optical cable is a terrestrial optical cable trunk line project starting from Ruili, Yunnan, China, and running through Myanmar to Weishuang, Bay of Bengal, opening up a new channel from China to Europe and Africa. In addition, the Asia-Europe No.5 (SMW5) and Asia-Africa-Europe No.1 (AAE-1) submarine cables invested and constructed by China Unicom form a double submarine cable coverage along the Belt and Road, which can be extended to important urban business access points in France, Germany, Italy and other countries after landing.

It is understood that the Asia-Europe No.5 and Asia-Africa-Europe No.1 submarine cables are highly coincident with the Maritime Silk Road and are important communication infrastructures of the Belt and Road Initiative. From Hongkong, China to Marseille, France, it connects 19 countries, most of which are countries and regions along the Belt and Road, which enhances the robustness and security of the overall network from China to West Asia, South Asia, Africa and Europe. It is a demonstration project to discuss, build and share global communication infrastructure.

In November 2018, the South Atlantic International Submarine Cable (SAIL) participated by China Unicom was officially put into production, with a total length of 6,000 kilometers. It is the first new intercontinental fast direct submarine cable channel across the South Atlantic and connecting the African continent and the South American continent. As an important communication infrastructure in the southern hemisphere, the South Atlantic international submarine optical cable has opened up a new channel for Internet exports in western Africa and South America, and promoted the deepening of international cooperation in the digital economy.

The Asia Direct (ADC) submarine cable project is also an important project for China Unicom to implement the Belt and Road Initiative. This project is a submarine cable project to strengthen the layout of the Asia-Pacific region. It was launched at the end of February 2020 and jointly invested by China Unicom and international operators. The submarine cable will land in China, Japan, South Korea, the Philippines, Vietnam, Thailand, Singapore and other countries, with a total length of more than 6,500 kilometers.

In order to further implement the "Belt and Road Initiative" and effectively support the construction of digital gateway in South Asia, China Unicom held the opening ceremony of Lhasa regional international communication service import and export bureau in August 2022. After the completion of Lhasa regional international communication service import and export bureau, it will meet the needs of international business development for South Asian countries, improve the service quality of international communication services for South Asian countries, and provide favorable conditions for global economic and cultural exchanges and cooperation.

China Unicom uses its own advantages to implement the innovation-driven development strategy and accelerate the realization of high-level scientific and technological self-reliance; Through the development of a unified SDN intelligent management and control platform, the enhanced functions such as customized QoS and rapid distribution of configuration of data network can be realized, and it has become one of the main service providers connecting Hong Kong and overseas in the mainland, America and Central Asia and Europe in East Asia, and Southeast Asian countries in China.

Provide quality communication services.

Quality service can create a good reputation. China Unicom continues to create value for customers and provide impetus and support for the development of the global digital economy by creating an ecosystem of countries and regions along the Belt and Road.

In many countries and regions along the Belt and Road in Europe, Africa and the Middle East, Unicom International has actively established an international talent team, rationally deployed the "Belt and Road" human resources by recruiting local people, giving full play to the advantages of global talents and enhancing customer experience.

Since the beginning of this year, Unicom International has completed the strategic layout of representative offices in Laos, Hungary and Mongolia. So far, Unicom International has more than 30 branches around the world, and more than 130 overseas business access points covering Asia, North America, Europe, Oceania, Africa and South America.

With the increase of branches, the intelligent evolution of China Unicom’s network has also achieved remarkable results. The relevant person in charge of Unicom International said that Unicom’s overseas data network has completed the evolution of SDN, and the SDN rate has reached 100%. In addition, the network robustness is continuously improved, so that the global traffic is further balanced and the network stability is effectively improved. The two indicators of Internet delay and packet loss rate remain the best in the industry throughout the year.

In terms of mobile roaming services for the public, China Unicom has included more than 100 countries and regions along the Belt and Road into the international roaming "Baotian tariff zone". Since 2020, China Unicom has lowered the international long-distance and international roaming tariffs of more than 100 countries and regions, with the largest drop of 89%. Through product optimization and tariff concessions, China Unicom has become the "chief consultant for international smart application of inbound and outbound business customers"; The number of VoLTE and 5G NSA service operators has increased from 11 to 75, and the activity of "Travel the world freely and use the traffic at will" covers China, Hong Kong, Macao, 10 ASEAN countries, Australia and New Zealand, providing great convenience for Unicom customers to use the traffic abroad. In terms of providing high-quality digital services for "going out" enterprises, we have focused on key industries such as industrial manufacturing, finance, government media, transportation and logistics, energy and e-commerce, and created "One Belt, One Road" international express products. Unicom SD-WAN products have achieved global coverage, and cloud networking services have covered the resource pools of major overseas partners. In building the "Belt and Road" circle of friends, we provide professional services to more than 3,000 corporate customers around the world, work closely with more than 1,000 partners, strengthen international exchanges and cooperation, and achieve mutual benefit and win-win results.

At present, China Unicom is providing local Internet bandwidth services to more than 200 institutions and enterprises in Hong Kong and cross-border circuit services to more than 500 institutions and enterprises. In China Unicom (Hongkong) Tseung Kwan O Smart Cloud Data Center, more than 50 government agencies and corporate customers in Internet, finance, energy, retail and other industries have settled in, enjoying the safe and reliable professional services of China Unicom. It is worth mentioning that Tseung Kwan O Smart Cloud Data Center covers the data centers of HKEx and large banks, and can realize millisecond network connection with the financial industry. The low delay of 0.2 milliseconds with HKEx is a scarce resource in the industry, and it is a veritable international financial customer service center.

On December 3, 2021, China-Laos Railway, a landmark project of building the Belt and Road with high quality, was officially opened to traffic. It is reported that China Unicom Yunnan Branch and Yunnan Telecom have overcome the difficulties of complicated terrain and achieved the coverage of the entire line of 4G network in China-Laos Railway. The tunnel adopts the way of seamless connection between communication leakage cables and outdoor signals, and realizes special functions such as Doppler frequency offset compensation, cell merger and fast switching, so as to ensure that passengers can connect to stable network signals on high-speed trains. Not only that, Yunnan Unicom also achieved 5G network coverage in key areas such as stations. After testing, the download rate reached 860Mbps.

In the future, China Unicom will continue to join hands with partners at home and abroad to build the Digital Silk Road, actively lay out the new digital information infrastructure capabilities of "high-speed ubiquity, integration of heaven and earth, integration of cloud and network, intelligence and agility, green and low-carbon, security and controllability", improve the digital intelligence service level through scientific and technological innovation, and provide new kinetic energy, new value and new wisdom for the digital economy development of countries and regions along the Belt and Road with high-quality, safe and reliable products, services and solutions.

Improve the livelihood and well-being of local people.

As the third largest population in Africa and the third largest economy on the African continent, the supply and storage conditions of medical resources in Egypt are relatively limited, with a large geographical gap and uneven distribution.

"Because of the high temperature and poor storage conditions, not only Egypt, but also most countries in Africa are facing the problem of insufficient supply of medical materials." Longfei, the project manager of China Unicom, shared his experiences in Africa and told his excitement when he learned about the demand for digital construction of cold storage: "This is a project with a thousand times more significance than profit!"

In 2022, the Egyptian government issued the goal of achieving 70% vaccination rate for all people, which put forward extremely high requirements for the local production capacity, storage capacity, cold storage capacity, deployment capacity and logistics capacity of Egyptian vaccines. China Unicom joined hands with China Kexing and China Construction Eighth Bureau to jointly build the Egyptian vaccine cold storage, and the input hardware and software customization intelligence have reached the international advanced level. At the same time, the cold storage is also the largest vaccine storage center in Egypt and even Africa, which will greatly improve the cold chain storage and transportation capacity of vaccines in Egypt in the future and further improve the vaccine supply chain in Africa.

The smart warehouse project invested by China Unicom this time has a construction area of 2,800 square meters and a storage capacity of 150 million doses. China Unicom has built an intelligent warehouse management system based on Internet of Things technology. By applying technologies such as sensors, wireless communication and cloud computing to warehouse management, it can realize automatic management from warehousing to warehousing. By improving the operation efficiency of the warehouse system, it can reduce the operating cost of cold storage and ensure the safety of vaccine storage.

"Compared with China, the local digitalization level in Egypt is relatively backward. In the past, warehouse management needed to be manually entered, and there were many categories to fill in. The process was complicated, the work was heavy, and the error rate was particularly high." Longfei pointed to the flow chart of each link of the system. "Our system effectively controls and tracks all links in the whole life cycle of the cold storage business, provides perfect information management of vaccine cold storage, reduces manual participation, reduces management costs, realizes the intelligence and automation of warehouse management, and improves the efficiency, controllability and safety of warehouse management."

Help China enterprises "go global"

Under the traction of the Belt and Road Initiative, China enterprises have actively promoted investment cooperation with countries and regions along the Belt and Road Initiative. As a representative enterprise of China’s manufacturing industry, Great Wall Motor has actively deployed all over the world, built its third overseas wholly-owned manufacturing plant in Luo Yong Industrial Park in Thailand, radiated the ASEAN region with Thailand as the center, and exported its products to other ASEAN countries and Australia.

It is the first difficult problem for Great Wall Motor to quickly put into production to carry out digital information transformation of the acquired old factories. China Unicom and Great Wall Motor actively communicate in multi-departments, multi-aspects and multi-nodes, grasp the core problems and demands in the actual operation process, respond quickly, and complete the transformation of industrial network and office network system, new monitoring system replacement, new and old unified communication system construction and wireless network coverage in the park based on the principle of utilizing the old. "It is more difficult to rebuild a factory than to build three new ones. We should not only consider the production scenarios, but also maximize the value of old industrial plants." Liu Ya Lin Rushi, project manager of China Unicom, said.

In just seven months, China Unicom and the Great Wall Motor team have worked closely together to rejuvenate the old factory from the inside out: the digital production network and international dedicated line that meet the requirements of modern production have replaced the old network infrastructure, and the IT system to ensure its domestic and foreign interconnection and cooperation has been launched in the core computer room. The electromechanical distribution and lighting equipment in the park has been more scientific and safe after deepening transformation …

Empowering digital economy to accelerate development

The year 2023 marks the 20th anniversary of China-ASEAN Expo and China-ASEAN Business and Investment Summit (hereinafter referred to as "China-ASEAN Expo" and "Summit"). Over the past 20 years, China and ASEAN countries have continuously reached a consensus on cooperation, enhanced strategic mutual trust, and strengthened cultural exchanges, thus promoting the sustained and in-depth development of China-ASEAN relations. China Unicom has always kept pace with the development of China-ASEAN Expo and the Summit, accelerated the construction of communication infrastructure and contributed to the construction of the Belt and Road Initiative.

With the rapid development of regional economy between China and ASEAN, and the rapid growth of China-ASEAN trade, people’s exchanges have become increasingly frequent. From laying the first optical cable line between Guangxi and ASEAN countries, to establishing Nanning International Bureau to build an international gateway for 10 ASEAN countries, and then to enabling China and ASEAN countries to develop their digital economy, China Unicom has actively accelerated the construction of information and communication infrastructure, and built a digital "connecting bridge" with 10 ASEAN countries through information and communication interconnection.

The construction of communication infrastructure and the improvement of connectivity have provided strong support for the development of digital economy in China and ASEAN countries. On the basis of the previous period, China Unicom has successively opened international direct channels from Nanning to Vietnam, Nanning to Laos and Nanning to Myanmar, actively expanding the outbound data services of domestic corporate customers and ASEAN countries, providing business continuity and international transmission network services for the international outbound services of domestic governments, banks and enterprises to Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand, and assisting customers to expand their international business in Southeast Asia and Europe.

At the beginning of September this year, China Unicom actively cooperated with China-ASEAN Economic and Trade Center to create a "one-stop digital communication service" window, providing specialized international communication services for domestic "going out" enterprises and "brought in" enterprises in ASEAN region, providing international digital private line services and cross-border cloud connection, cross-border office applications, overseas IDC customization, ITO and other communication services for foreign-related enterprises, as well as consulting and handling services for data traffic sharing services in 47 countries.

Britain’s immigration regulations are relaxed, making it easier for foreign doctors and nurses to obtain visas.

  China Overseas Chinese Network, June 15th According to WeChat official account, the European version of Sing Tao Daily, the British government will relax the immigration regulations and allow more non-EU workers to enter the UK.

  The British Home Office announced the relaxation of immigration regulations on the 15th local time to allow more non-EU workers to enter the UK.

  The Ministry of the Interior has determined that foreign doctors and nurses will be exempted from the government’s visa quota.

  The visa quota was introduced by Prime Minister Theresa May during his tenure as Interior Minister. She set a limit for non-EU skilled workers, with 20,700 places a year.

  However, the head of the National Health Service has made it clear that this makes it very difficult to hire enough people.

  Saffron Cordery of NHS Providers, a business organization, said, "This is the right direction." "For the institutions that are suffering from difficulties in hiring doctors and nurses in the country, they can finally breathe a sigh of relief."

  Alp Mehmet, a pressure organization that has always opposed liberalization, also said that he accepted the change, but it was not a long-term solution. "Don’t forget that the most important thing is to train local people."

  The proposed change is aimed at Tier 2 visas, which are used by skilled workers from non-EEA and Switzerland to enter the UK for work.

  The Financial Times reported on Tuesday (12th) that in the first five months of this year, 2,360 doctors outside the European Economic Area had their visa applications rejected. In April, after the applications of 100 Indian doctors were rejected, the National Health Service issued a warning that it was difficult to apply.

  NHS There are currently 35,000 nurses vacant in England, and nearly 10,000 doctor positions are vacant.

  Global Future, a think tank, says that 12.5% of NHS employees in England come from overseas, and 45% of them are specialists.

  Visa restrictions have also denied visas to thousands of computer and mechanical professionals.

  The proposed changes are limited to doctors and nurses, but they can free up thousands of places. Although the quota of 20,700 second-level visas remains unchanged, doctors and nurses are missing from the competition, and the number of applications for computers and teachers is correspondingly increased.

  Jia Weide, the interior minister, said in an interview with the media last week that the current British immigration policy was not completely consistent with that of Prime Minister Theresa May. He will conduct a review.

  It is reported that Downing Street has been lobbied for several months, and Health Minister Hou Junwei is also one of the lobbyists. He called on the government to at least "open the door" to Dr. NHS. According to Hou Junwei, doctors are a special case. One of the biggest crises facing Britain is that the number of doctors is far from reaching the basic level, and the medical care work is pushed to infinity because of the shortage of doctors. Greg Clark, Minister of Commerce, Energy and Industrial Strategy, is also lobbying for the business community, hoping that the government will take care of more foreign workers of special types and make it easier for them to obtain work permits.

Archives around | Jiang Lan: Historical Taste Buds of Xiaohebang Sichuan Cuisine (I)

Zigong cuisine is spicy and ubiquitous.

Jiang Lan/Wen

Since the Ming and Qing dynasties, Zigong, the salt capital, has become a rich place in Sichuan with its rich well salt. Salt merchants are extravagant, especially for delicious food. The so-called "salt skull" or "salt grandfather" cuisine has gradually sprung up in Sichuan cuisine.

Among them, there are also many celebrities, such as Mr. Yang Ziyi, a talented man from Ziliujing in the late Qing Dynasty. Apart from his famous poems and couplets, he added luster to Zigong cuisine with his exquisite food appreciation, production and innovation.

In addition, Li Qiongfu, a big salt merchant in Ziliujing, studied in Japan in the early 20th century, and besides gluttony, he also wrote a special book "Qiongfu Recipe", which was self-satisfied and widely presented. Today, we can witness the entrance of "Grandpa Yanba" cuisine.

Generally speaking, Zigong cuisine is known as Xiaohebang Sichuan cuisine among Sichuan cuisine factions. Its history embodies a style of going to extremes, a kind of urgency that can’t wait, a kind of courage that refuses stereotypes and dares to be original, supplemented by a strong taste sprint, which suddenly rises, but never falls.

Affectionate and realistic, the extreme of Zigong cuisine

In recent years, restaurants with the title of Zigong cuisine have begun to set up halls in various places, and foreigners have a strong interest in these restaurants with the title of salt-helped cuisine, salt-merchants cuisine and Xiaohe-helped Sichuan cuisine.

The dishes from Zigong, the ancient salt capital, are easy to make people think that they are salty. After careful consideration, it smacks of heresy, which reminds people of the turbulent rivers and lakes and the autumn lights in the night rain.

Silver city story

People who have never been to Zigong will never forget Zigong cuisine as long as they have read the famous novel "The Old Site" or "The Story of Silver City" by the writer Li Rui.

Li Rui’s ancestral home is in Da ‘an District, Zigong. Therefore, the "Silver City Story" carefully carved the custom of pushing brine cows for food in Zigong saltworks, so that readers can experience the details of fireside beef and beef soup pot in a thrilling process.

When it comes to Zigong cuisine, you can’t help but mention cows and saltworks customs.

In fact, these, like the salty taste of deep wells, are not the essence of the problem. Diet is a concrete reflection of people’s physical desires. Therefore, due to the attraction of salt stove profits, it constitutes a complex local geo-culture.

Jiangxi people’s tenacity, Qin people’s dryness, Xiajiang people’s stubbornness, Fujian people’s interests, and local people’s slipperiness, coupled with the Hakka people’s fortitude and honest and frank, so the blackness permeated by those rolling black bittern is not just a black heart.

To be black as brine, show the weight of black in the dark under the cut; Thick is not just playing dumb, it should be as thick as bamboo cooked with medicine, and it should be so thick that it can be invincible, so that it can be undefended.

As Mr. Li Zongwu said, whenever I talk about these things, I "deeply understand the principle of melodramatic things here". This "melodramatic principle" is very suitable for Zigong cuisine. That is, local dishes reflect an extreme style.

The top of all kinds of flavors, spicy and full of local conditions

In the folk flavor of Sichuan people’s "good spicy flavor", before the introduction of pepper, the spicy "authentic" was cornus, which was used for a long time, and it was called "Sanxiang" together with ginger and pepper.

Sichuan people do not have the tradition of eating "tree pepper", and there is no "tree pepper" that grows along the coast in the local area. After the early or middle Qing dynasty, the things that further implemented these styles were Chaotian sea pepper and tender ginger.

Zigong chaotian pepper is the first in Sichuan.

The spiciness of pepper in Zigong is far more than that in other parts of Sichuan.

In the early years, with a large number of Weiyuan people entering the salt field from Gaodong and Leigongtan to work, Chaotian sea pepper produced in Xindianzi of Weiyuan entered artesian well and Gongjing.

Chaotian sea pepper, also known as seven-star sea pepper, is often named after a handful of seven.

There is a unique reddish-brown soil in China, which is not only thin and alkaline, but also rich in potassium, zinc, calcium, phosphorus, iron and other elements, which has created a deep and persistent distinctive style of sea pepper.

There is a feature of Zigong Chaotian pepper that is unknown to outsiders, that is, the appearance of sea pepper is not long or sharp, but the tail is concave into a small pit, which is the most powerful.

Later, it was widely transplanted in Rongxian, Daan, Fushun and other areas with similar land conditions, and its spicy power was slightly weakened, but it was enough for local people to feast.

It’s just that those foreigners who don’t know the little place are suffering. As soon as they eat Zigong food, they shout that it’s delicious, and the more they eat it, the more fragrant it is, but the spicy power goes deep into the viscera, and even they are temporarily deaf.

North China canteen, full but not arrogant spirit.

In the 1920s, catering in Zigong was divided into two categories: banquet and wine and food.

Bao Xiye worships "Zhan Wang", mainly engaged in all kinds of banquet and banquet business; The wine and food industry worships "Leizu" and deals in all kinds of stir-fried dishes, cold dishes, soup dishes, rice, pasta and snacks.

The Huanhou Palace, which was completed in 1875, has always accepted the incense of the tugu industry. By the time of the Anti-Japanese War, local restaurants had been more integrated, operating five major cuisines: Sichuan, Beijing, Shandong, Guangdong and Jiangsu.

North China canteen, the most sentimental old shop in Zigong

At that time, the famous restaurants were Tiandeyuan, Minjiang, Jinguyuan, Lumingchun, Huabei Dining Hall, Shu Jiang Chun, Diaohuanglou and so on, especially Huabei Dining Hall.

The predecessor of North China Dining Hall was Xinjin Cuisine Club, and the owner Lin Guofu was a generation of strange people. He left his hometown and came to Zigong during the Anti-Japanese War, relying on his flexible mind and smooth handling. Later, he asked fellow villagers to raise funds to set up Xinjin Cuisine Club in Sansheng, operating small sales, home-cooked meals and contracting banquets.

In 1939, after the restaurant was bombed by a Japanese plane, it had to be moved to Dengganba and renamed North China Dining Hall.

Zigong’s nearly lost famous dish casserole fish head

They are unique in fish cooking technology, and have introduced some famous dishes such as casserole fish head, roasted middle section, grilled water wings, fish tail, crispy fish, sweet and sour carp fillet, etc., especially the casserole fish head is famous far and wide, which has attracted frequent visits from big salt merchants, which is actually equivalent to invisible advertisements made by salt merchants. These famous dishes were gradually integrated into the authentic Sichuan cuisine series.

It is said that Lin Guofu’s dining hall in North China was once forced to eat by scoundrels. Some people ordered seven casserole fish heads in one breath, saying that the taste was not good. However, Lin Guofu changed his smile for seven times in a row and kept asking the guests to "tolerate more", which made the strong eaters content and retreat.

This kind of magnanimity is very popular, and I’m afraid this ancient style has become a masterpiece now. Now, the North China canteen is still open, but I don’t know if those unique fish seats can still be made.

The last chef in North China canteen

Eating frogs has been a local habit for many years.

The beautiful word "from the sheep to the big" originally means "gan". The structure of "beauty" is a combination of "sheep" and "big". Obviously, it expresses the ancient people’s feelings about "sheep being big" in China.

It is worth noting that this feeling does not come from the fat body shape of the sheep, but is limited to the feeling of the taste of the sheep. This can be proved by the fact that the original meaning of beauty is "sweetness".

And what is "Gan"? Those who are "sweet" have "one from the mouth". In other words, eating food with your mouth or tasting food with your mouth can produce "sweetness".

From this sense of taste, the word "gan" in Chinese characters has the meaning of pleasure, joy and quickness at the same time. But Zigong locals are not so elegant, they just say, taste it! Bashi!

In recent years, Mark Corlan, an American, published a world-renowned masterpiece "Salt", in which he mentioned the diet of Zigong salt merchants, saying that the wealthy salt merchants were particularly particular about eating at that time: "In China, the weirder the raw materials, the more mysterious the cooking methods, the more valuable they are. Frog in soup is one of the specialties of Zigong salt merchants. Put a few sticks on a pot of salt water, put a live frog in the pot, and the frog will desperately grab these sticks and seal the pot. When the can was opened again six months later, the frog was dead. After air drying, they were cured successfully, because they were all stained with salt water. Then steam the cooked food. Salt merchants also like to eat fried frog bellies. Unfortunately, although it may be delicious, it is unacceptable, because it is said that it takes 1000 frogs to make a fried frog belly. "

This statement comes from the "Qiongfu Recipe" by salt merchant Li Qiongfu.

But I have lived in Zigong for more than 30 years, and I know that local people have a bad habit of eating frogs. One is to soak them like pickles, or smoke them. Of course, the most popular thing is to stir-fry frogs with sea pepper and shredded ginger. Many people can eat two Jin at a time, which is a famous local dish.

All kinds of delicious food can not be separated from salt.

Eat goose’s feet and catch up with the tyrant’s "punishment of branding"

In the book "Qiongfu Recipe", there is also a famous dish called "Meat Bamboo Shoots", which is Li Qiongfu’s specialty.

Its practice is: kill the fat pig in summer, gut it, take out the internal organs, and then bury the pig in the soil. A few days later, I saw pork rotting and moths rolling. At this time, take out all the moths, or fry them, or cook soup to eat.

Li Qiongfu only called this dish "bamboo shoots" when he invited guests, but he didn’t explain what it was made of. The guests ate with relish and tutted. After the meal, the eater shouted nausea and vomited on the spot.

Salt merchants are strange to eat, and there is no wonder about it, which is also listed in detail in Qiongfu Recipe.

Such as eating pig blood bubbles. The way to do this is to tie the hooves of the live big fat pig down, use a bamboo tube to hold the boiled glutinous rice porridge, pry open the pig’s mouth and pour it down hard, then kill the pig, cut open the belly, remove the blood bubbles scalded in the pig’s mouth, esophagus and stomach, and cook it with exquisite seasoning.

Braised water wings

As for salt merchants, Li Yongzhi, nicknamed "Ten Yan Wang", ate goose’s feet, and then chased after the tyrant’s "punishment of branding": a piece of land was enclosed in a small house, covered with chaff shells and lit a fire, which was a kind of small fire that could burn for a long time. Many live geese were put in, and the geese ran around on the chaff ground, and their feet were burned, quacked and thirsty, so they were fed vinegar in the famous Taiyuan well. Wait until there are many blood bubbles on the goose web, that is, cut off the goose web and cook it into a dish.

Obviously, these eating methods are already very cruel and subordinate to the enduring "violent aesthetics" in feudal times, and should be abandoned. But in turn, it responds to the point I made at the beginning: this is all caused by the taste bud style of pursuing extremism. (On, to be continued)

2019 Oscar Super Super Super Forecast Black Panther is expected to be a finalist?

Special feature of 1905 film network With the Venice, Teliuryde and Toronto Film Festivals coming to an end one after another, major awards have been released, and the situation in the upcoming award season has become clearer.

The Oscar status of these three major film festivals is not just talk. Last year, the winner of the Golden Lion in Venice became the biggest winner at the Oscar, and the Toronto People’s Choice Award also won two awards.

Below, Xiao Dianjun will take stock of the new films that have emerged in several major film festivals this year, and boldly predict the Oscar next year.

Not surprisingly, the candidates for the best film and various awards next year must be among these films.

Rome

Fu Mao, a film selector in Cannes, was forced by the French cinema to abandon Netflix in the main competition unit. I don’t know if he is upset at this moment, because this black-and-white epic not only won the Golden Lion Award easily in Venice by unanimous vote, but also is likely to replicate the successful model of "The Story of Water" and shine at the Oscar.

The quality of "Rome" is excellent. At present, the freshness of rotten tomatoes is 98%, and the professional score of MTC media is as high as 96, and its reputation is extremely high.

The film tells the family story of Cleo, a young maid, and her four children in Rome, a middle-class community in Mexico City in the 1970s.

This is not only the director Caron’s own childhood memory and personal history, but also the grand historical pattern of the changes of the whole Mexican era.

Of course, what we should look forward to more is how Caron shows his always good scene scheduling ability in movies, and he has already seen his skills in the past and earlier years.

Today, the "Three Heroes of Mexico" is the darling of Hollywood. When Toro and Inarito both praised the best film at the Oscars, there is even more reason to believe that the Oscars will once again care for this Mexican-born director. After all, the regret of not winning the best film in those years has to be made up.

The first man on the moon

Undoubtedly, the Venice International Film Festival has been an outpost of hollywood awards season and Oscar.

Damien Chazelle, the director, was highly valued by Venice, and continued the courtesy of his previous work, winning the opening film. Although the film is not as popular as "la la land" on the whole, the evaluation is quite good, and it is also on the list of foreign media’s major Oscar predictions.

The First Man on the Moon tells the life of legendary American astronaut neil armstrong, focusing on the first man’s landing on the moon from 1961 to 1969. There are American national consciousness and subjective family perspective.

"Hollywood Report" praised: "The clear and profound picture is full of emotion, tension and suspense, as well as amazing skills".

The Guardian commented that the film was visually intoxicating and full of "certainty and vitality".

The film is praised most for its excellent audio-visual design, but criticized for the traditional stereotype of biographical films: conventional sensationalism.

Venice produced Chazeray, and Hollywood had high hopes for him. It is not a problem that The First Man on the Moon was shortlisted for the Oscar, but Hollywood’s "political correctness" has also become an obstacle in disguise: the film did not shoot the flag, and the starring Commander Gao was a Canadian actor, which once became controversial.

Beloved

 

Director yorgos lanthimos’s new film won the Venice Jury Award, and Olivia Coleman won the Best Actress, with 96% rotten tomatoes. Everywhere she went, word of mouth was bursting.

dramaIn short, love is a British palace fight. Two women fought fiercely for the favor of Queen Anne and gained court influence. The three heroines, Emma Stone, rachel weisz and Olivia Coleman, are undoubtedly a big attraction.

It is said that "Sister Stone", the Oscar-winning actress, has contributed more performances in the film than in la la land, and Olivia Coleman, who is blessed by the best actress in Venice, is undoubtedly a strong contender for the Golden statuette.

What’s more worth mentioning is that Lance Moss, a director with strong personal style, seems to have found a way to get along with the public through this film, which has converged his favorite sense of form, infinitely magnified the absurdity of comedy and made the film more entertaining and ornamental.

Black partisans

 

At this year’s Cannes Film Festival, there were more big-name stars from Europe and America on the red carpet than the opening and closing ceremonies combined, which was enough to see Spike Lee’s personality charm and appeal, and finally won the jury prize, and the freshness of rotten tomatoes was 95%.

The film tells the story of John David Washington, a Colorado black policeman, who successfully sneaked into the local Klan organization to be undercover.

In the first half, the black police’s experience of sneaking into the white Klan was full of comedy and golden sentences. In the second half, the style of painting changed suddenly, the conflicts between races intensified, and the confrontation between the two sides was full of violence and hatred.

Unlike many racial movies with swords pointing at whites, Spike Lee also opposes the prejudice and radical attitude of blacks towards whites. He hopes to express a higher appeal beyond racism with the role of Ron: racism is accompanied by hatred, and I hope everyone in this country and the world can eliminate hatred.

It can be said that this film is full of political sensitivity. At the moment when racism is on the rise in the United States, the significance of this film having a place in the Oscar is self-evident.

If Beale Street could talk

This is Barry Jenkins’s latest film after the Oscar for Best Film, and it was well received after being shown in Toronto and New York Film Festival.

The magazine Variety called the film "a work of social realism, which was sublimated into a poetic work by virtue of the pure beauty of sound and spiritual humanism."

The film is adapted from james baldwin’s novel of the same name, which is about the love story of a young black couple in Harlem in 1970s. In the movie, Finney is falsely accused of rape, while Tish, who is pregnant, has to run around looking for evidence to prove her husband’s innocence.

The picture is exquisite and the emotion is delicate. Judging from the trailer, it is still the route and texture of Moonlight.

The film seems to have these "killer weapons", such as the political appeal of racial issues, the voice of feminism and the moral concern of social justice, but if you want to successfully squeeze into the Oscar list, you may have to face the film Black Party, which also involves African-Americans.
