Special feature of 1905 film network After eight years of sharpening the sword, The Assassin Nie Yinniang directed by Hou Xiaoxian has kept fans waiting for too long. Many people went to see Nie Yinniang for the fascination of "seeing Hou Xiaoxian on the big screen". Once again, he has appeared intensively in front of the media. He is 68 years old this year, and his face even shows the kindness of the elderly. However, his tone of speaking is still like taking the lead, and his tone is humble and peaceful but reveals sharp and heroic.

　

　　　 Back in 1997, the French director olivier assayas shot The Portrait of Hou Xiaoxian. Fifty-year-old Hou Xiaoxian, with clashing hair and a slight camel on his back, chewed betel nuts and smoked cigarettes. He talked with his neighbors and made tea, sometimes as cute as an urchin, sometimes full of piqueness, and sometimes talked about his inner loneliness and lamented his loss. As the leader of Taiwanese new films, Yang Dechang has long since passed away, and now only Hou Hsiao-hsien still inherits the mantle of China traditional culture as a mainstay.

　

What influenced his film style?

　

　　　 Tsui Hark once teased Hou Xiaoxian at the Hong Kong Film Festival held in Beijing recently: He talked about shooting martial arts for many years, and it was in the 1980s that he finally made his first film, which is also amazing. "Yes, Hou Xiaoxian wanted to shoot martial arts for 30 years, and for 8 years, the film was so full of classical Chinese and special amorous feelings of restoring history. In fact, this has something to do with his film style and obedience to classical legends. In the final analysis, Hou Xiaoxian loves reading too much.

　

　　　 I remember that when Zhu Tianwen, Hou Dao’s good partner, recalled seeing him for the first time, he said that he especially liked Kuniko Mukoda’s prose, and he was surprised. "The film industry can also read books!" Director Hou Hsiao-hsien, who has a rebellious spirit in the Jianghu, believes that he is a scum, but he has been fond of reading since childhood, and he reads what he catches, and the amount of reading is amazing. Since the fifth grade of primary school, Hou Xiaoxian has been fascinated by the world of martial arts novels, loved Jin Yong’s works most, rented all the bookshops near his school and home, and read all the martial arts rentals. It’s really a voracious reading. When he was in middle school, he began to read Japanese martial arts. When there was nothing to see after reading books and Hong Kong Kung Fu martial arts films, he had to plunge into the legend of the Tang Dynasty and continue to look for the ideal romantic excitement in the world of chivalrous men and recluses.

　

From Shen Congwen to Nie Yinniang, the legend of the Tang Dynasty has been brewing for 30 years

　

　　　 Hou Hsiao-hsien once mentioned Shen Congwen again and again in interviews, because he finally knew clearly how to make a film after reading Autobiography of Congwen recommended by Zhu Tianwen, which confirmed the changes he made in The Man from the Wind Cabin, and this film touched Jia Zhangke, a young man in the town, and made Xiaowu and Platform many years later. Driven by writing, Hou Hsiao-hsien maintained the mode of co-creation with literati for decades, and his partner with Zhu Tianwen became a beautiful talk in the circle. Later Acheng and now Haimeng Xie joined in, which shows Hou Hsiao-hsien’s respect for literature.

　

　　

　　　 According to Hou Hsiao-hsien’s experience, it seems natural to shoot Nie Yinniang the Assassin. In 1975, Hou Hsiao-hsien wrote the first play "The Peach Blossom Woman Fighting the Duke of Zhou", which was adapted from Yuan Zaju, and the second play "The Engagement Hall" came from the novels of the Tang Dynasty. He loved China’s folk art so much that he turned Taiwan Province’s puppet show into the legendary "Dream of Life" and put Zhang Ailing’s annotation and translation of the Qing novel "Flowers on the Sea" on the big screen, which made people fascinated by the exquisite tea, soup and hairpin in that lost time.

　

　　　 "Assassin Nie Yinniang" comes from the Tang Dynasty legend "Tai Ping Guang Ji". The original text is only a thousand words. As early as the 1980s, Hou Xiaoxian wanted to shoot Nie Yinniang. This name has been brewing in his mind for nearly 30 years. Wen-Ying Huang, his imperial art director, said: "Hou Dao first closed himself for a year, studied the history of the Tang Dynasty, and joined the screenwriter work in Zhu Tianwen and Haimeng Xie in the summer of 2009." . After years of polishing by Hou Hsiao-hsien, Zhu Tianwen, Acheng and Haimeng Xie, the script "Nie Yinniang the Assassin" with only 35 scenes and 8,000 words was finally formed.

Hou Xiaoxian’s Unique Martial Arts: Just for "Waiting for the Cloud to Arrive"

　

　　　 The immersion of Tang legends and martial arts novels not only endows Hou Xiaoxian with a natural chivalrous spirit, but also allows him to create a unique and Chinese chivalrous world. Shu Qi said that the director always waits when filming, and the long wait is only for the rising of a mountain fog. Hou Xiaoxian should not rely on the special effects in the later period, but want the emotional atmosphere in real time and space to diffuse naturally.

　

　　　 This way of filming continues the spirit of his idol Akira Kurosawa’s "waiting for the clouds to arrive", which is rare in today’s hurried world, so it stretches out the beautiful pictures of there seems to be no one on the empty mountain and and yet I think I hear a voice. In his swordsmen’s imagination, it’s not the satisfaction of the sword, but the absolute loneliness without the same kind, so don’t expect to see the complicated moves in traditional swordsmen’s films in Nie Yinniang, but kill yourself with one knife after a long wait, and compress time into zero degree space in an instant.

The Supervision Committee of the Commission for Discipline Inspection of Nanchuan District of Chongqing keeps a close eye on the implementation of policies and the use of funds in the work of urban sanitation rectification, and strictly investigates acts such as corruption and embezzlement, plucking geese, eating and getting cards, and caring for relatives and friends. The picture shows the discipline inspection and supervision cadres (second from left and third from left) learning about the situation from the sanitation workers in Toudu Town. Zhao Xishe

　　Not long ago, Song Yuyou, former director of the Environmental Sanitation Management Department of Tianjin Binhai New Area Environmental Protection and Municipal Administration, was sentenced to 11 years and 6 months in prison for corruption and fined 1.1 million yuan.

　　The court found that Song Yu took advantage of his position in charge of the appearance of Binhai New Area, outdoor advertising management, sanitation vehicle procurement, acceptance, payment, rural garbage collection, transportation projects, etc., and sought benefits for others, demanding or illegally accepting money from others, totaling 4.07 million yuan. In addition, he also used an excuse to ask his subordinate units for benefits, and took kickbacks by purchasing condolences from employees, totaling 830,000 yuan as off-balance-sheet funds for others to keep, and then divided them among himself.

　　The appearance of the city represents the image of the city, which is related to the daily life of citizens, so all the work in the field of urban management has attracted much attention. In recent years, a number of related cases have been investigated and dealt with in various places. Some of them make profits by purchasing sanitation equipment, and they do not hesitate to tailor their bids for suppliers. Some of them ask their subordinates for benefits by applying for funds from their superiors, while others use advertising space management, garbage removal contracts, greening projects and construction projects to set rents for rent-seeking.

　　Self-willed expansion, "Tanghan Port" is in charge by itself.

　　In May 2009, Song Yuyou was transferred from the Armed Forces Department of Chadian Town, Hangu District, Tianjin to the City Appearance and Environment Management Committee of this district as the deputy director. In that year, Tanggu, Hangu and Dagang merged into Binhai New Area, and Song Yuyou was appointed as the deputy director of the Environmental Sanitation Management Department of Binhai New Area Environmental Protection and Municipal Administration of City Appearance, and was promoted to the director one year later. After the institutional reform in May 2015, he was transferred to the post of Director of Environmental Health Management Department of Binhai New Area Environment Bureau.

　　During the review and investigation in 2019, Song Yuyou admitted to the staff of the Supervision Committee of the Commission for Discipline Inspection of Tianjin Binhai New Area: "After being promoted to the director, it was a bit inflated. After all, from such a small place as Hangu, now this pond (selling), Hangu (selling) and (big) port are all in charge by themselves. "

　　Sanitation equipment seems inconspicuous, but it is valuable. Large pieces of equipment, such as washing and sweeping vehicles and compression garbage trucks, are often purchased in bulk, and the single amount reaches tens of millions of yuan. It is understood that Song Yu has the environmental sanitation management office, which has long been responsible for the procurement of sanitation equipment in the whole region. He has also become the target of some suppliers competing to win over and hunt.

　　According to Cui Xiaofei, member of the Standing Committee of the Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision of Binhai New Area, some suppliers often ask Song Yuyou to have dinner and drink to "communicate their feelings". "When pushing a cup for a change, the supplier will make some requests, and Song Yuyou didn’t reply immediately."

　　This silence or silence is nothing more than trying to grab more benefits. Some of Song Yu’s ideas are very simple. Suppliers want something from themselves. As long as they use their authority to meet the requirements of suppliers, suppliers will not report themselves. He gradually became fearless, no matter whether it was a gift, a valuable card coupon, a gift, or an invitation to eat, go to a karaoke bar, take a sauna, etc., all came to the net.

　　Customize the tender, "Gasser" takes the final payment, and the thank-you fee will be green all the way.

　　In the increasingly close contact, seeing that businessmen are easy to make money and lavish, Song Yu has a growing inner injustice. "Why do others have so much money?" I open a ‘ Big ’ Director, in charge of the environmental sanitation of the whole new district, how can it be inferior to others? "

　　As a result, Song Yuyou began to use his power to seek more generous "returns" for himself. The procurement of sanitation equipment in Binhai New Area needs to go through public bidding in the whole city, and the parameters of the required equipment should be reported in advance. The closer the enterprise production equipment is to this parameter, the greater the possibility of winning the bid.

　　Song Yuyou pegged to the link of "reporting" and made a crooked brain. The staff of the Supervision Committee of the Commission for Discipline Inspection of Binhai New Area introduced: "He will ask suppliers to provide product parameters in advance, and then tailor the tender documents to help these suppliers win the bid smoothly."

　　"Busy" is certainly not a white help. After helping suppliers win the bid, Song Yuyou will get a lot of "thank you fee". For example, during the period from 2015 to 2017, after Yantai Hyde Company won the bid for the sanitation equipment procurement project of Binhai New Area Environment Bureau, Song Yuyou accepted the entrustment of Sun Mou, the general manager of the company’s Tianjin branch, to provide him with assistance in vehicle procurement, acceptance and car purchase payment, and received cash of 300,000 yuan from him in the second half of 2017.

　　It is understood that in 2015, the Environmental Bureau of Binhai New Area launched a plan to update and purchase sanitation garden operation vehicles, with a total purchase of 150 vehicles, including 120 vehicles involving the financial funds of the new area, and the winning bid price totaled 70.594 million yuan. In 2017, the Environmental Bureau of this district purchased 20 snow removal vehicles and 25 compression vehicles through bidding, with a purchase fund of 12.086 million yuan. Many companies paid bribes to Song Yuyou for help, up to 700,000 yuan.

　　The so-called "thank you fee" is not only to help win the bid, but also to take good care of the subsequent things with a "green light". The staff of the Supervision Committee of the Commission for Discipline Inspection of Binhai New Area explained: "If the benefits are given, Song Yuyou can ‘ Add a plug ’ Let you get the final payment in advance. "

　　Exerting the power in his hands to the extreme, Song Yuyou got deeper and deeper.

　　On November 25, 2019, after being studied by the Supervision Committee of the Commission for Discipline Inspection of Binhai New Area and reported to the district committee for approval, it was decided to give Song Yuyou the punishment of expelling from the party and public office, and his suspected crimes were transferred to the judicial organs for legal treatment.

　　Appropriating snow melting fees depends on the money rather than the sky, and purchasing condolences.

　　How to outline Song Yu’s corrupt track, Cui Xiaofei summarized: "From being ‘ Hunting ’ Development to active hunting, and even plucking geese. Money is big or small, and things are big or small, as long as they are profitable. "

　　Not only asking the suppliers for the benefits, but also asking the subordinate units for Song Yuyou.

　　From November 2010 to May 2015, Song Yuyou took advantage of his position to apply for snow melting fees from the Finance Bureau of Binhai New Area and demanded bribes from subordinate units. "For example, even if it doesn’t snow much in Hangu, as long as you give money, I can apply for more money to clear the snow." The staff "resumed" the scene at that time.

　　Relevant financial documents show that in July, 2011, Hangu Municipal Administration of Environmental Protection and City Appearance received a total of 609,000 yuan from Binhai New Area Environment and Capacity Bureau. In December 2012, it received a total of 1.15 million yuan from the superior for environmental protection cleaning. As for the price behind it, Chen Mou, then director of Hangu Environmental Protection Bureau, confirmed that Song Yuyou had twice asked him for a total of 450,000 yuan, which he met by taking public funds.

　　What’s more, even if the Environmental Sanitation Management Office purchases condolences for sanitation workers, Song Yuyou has to "talk" with the store manager about how to return the points. "You can give me as much as I buy you." According to the confirmation of the parties, a condolence item of about 2 million yuan allowed Song Yuyou to account for 80,000 yuan.

　　Song Yuyou also demanded 300,000 yuan from Wang, then director of Tanggu Environmental Capacity Bureau, a subordinate unit, on the grounds of tight office expenses. In addition to distributing benefits to the staff in the department and entertaining the outside world, the rest are used to buy SLR cameras, Hetian jadeware and collectibles for the leaders in the department.

　　Advertising space management, garbage removal, urban greening, construction projects, urban management director has a good way to make money.

　　How powerful is a director of urban management bureau? Zhang Bin, former director of the Bureau of Urban Administration and Law Enforcement in Yeji District, Lu ‘an City, Anhui Province (Yeji Reform and Development Experimental Zone before February 2016), answered this question with various facts of accepting bribes.

　　Make money by using advertising space to operate and use. In the first half of 2014, the right to use advertising space obtained by an advertising decoration company in Lu ‘an was about to expire. Jiang approached Zhang Bin and asked for permission to continue using it. Zhang Bin accepted 10,000 yuan and cigarettes to help Jiang extend the right to use advertising space until the end of 2016.

　　Use the garbage removal contract to receive gifts. In January 2013, Liu signed a contract with the former Yeji Experimental Area City Appearance Administration (later transferred to the Urban Management Bureau) to be responsible for the removal and treatment of domestic garbage in the area. In order to thank and get Zhang Bin’s care in the aspects of garbage removal supervision, contract fee allocation and contract renewal, Liu gave Zhang Bin a gift card worth 10,000 yuan twice. Later, Liu not only got the contract renewed, but also increased the related expenses.

　　Rent-seeking by using urban greening projects. In 2015, arranged by Zhang Bin, the Urban Management Bureau of Yeji Experimental Area directly contracted out seven road greening and upgrading projects in the urban area to a garden company in Hefei for construction. Zhang gave Zhang Bin cash and shopping cards three times, totaling 45,000 yuan. In January 2017, Zhang learned that Zhang Bin was about to be transferred. In order to get the project payment in time, he came to Zhang Bin’s office and asked Zhang Bin for help. Zhang Bin agreed and accepted 10,000 yuan in cash, tobacco, alcohol and other property given by Zhang. Later, before leaving office, Zhang Bin signed and approved some project funds.

　　Collect money from construction projects. Under the care of Zhang Bin, Chen Mou, a legal person of an Anhui construction company, has successively undertaken a number of projects, such as Yeji Garden West Road Public Toilet Transfer Station Project, Innovation Road Parking Paving Project and Road Earthwork Backfilling Project. Chen Mou took the opportunity to "show" many times and gave Zhang Bin a total of 185,000 yuan in cash and a fuel card worth 5,000 yuan.

　　In October 2020, the court ruled in the first instance that Zhang Bin was sentenced to three years’ imprisonment and fined 300,000 yuan for accepting bribes and corruption.

　　In order to realize power, turn a blind eye to illegal buildings

　　Unlike Zhang Bin’s "piecemeal" collection of 5,000 yuan and 10,000 yuan, Gu Yixun is keen to accept Maotai and high-grade cigarettes, and even directly received a suite.

　　Since 2009, Gu Yixun has served as a member of the party group and deputy director of the former Zunyi County (now Bozhou District) Urban Management Bureau of Guizhou Province, deputy director of the former Zunyi County Urban Sewage Collection System Engineering Construction Command Office, and captain of the Nanbai Brigade of Zunyi City Comprehensive Law Enforcement Detachment, which has a profound influence on the local urban management system.

　　From 2015 to 2017, Gu Yixun received 38 bottles of "Feitian" Moutai with a total value of 48,562 yuan from Jiang, Zhao, Zhang and Han for 9 times. In the court, Gu Yixun’s defender suggested that the four people "are all relatives and friends of Gu, and there is no specific request when giving gifts, which is a normal human exchange".

　　That was not the case. After investigation, all four were responsible for the construction of each bid section of the original Zunyi County urban sewage collection system project, and they were the management clients of Gu Yixun. Knowing that the other party wanted something, Gu Yixun also used his power to seek benefits and accept property for him, which can be considered as his subjective intention to accept bribes.

　　In May 2014, Li gave Gu Yixun a 105-square-meter house worth more than 210,000 yuan. Its intention is to undertake the renovation project of the leakage part of the municipal solid waste treatment plant of the enterprises under the Urban Management Bureau, and Gu Yixun did provide help for it.

　　Investigating illegal buildings is the responsibility of the urban management department. In Gu Yixun’s eyes, this has become a tool for realizing power.

　　In February 2012, the planning and monitoring squadron of Nanbai Brigade of Zunyi City Comprehensive Law Enforcement Detachment found that Maqiao Swimming Pool was an illegal building, issued a notice of suspension of construction and initiated an investigation. In the meantime, investigators clashed with illegal construction workers. Cai, then secretary of the Party branch of Bailong Community, and Long, then director of the community neighborhood committee, found Huang Xiaowu, then secretary of the Party Committee of Nanbai Town. Huang Xiaowu greeted Gu Yixun on the pretext that the project was a mass public welfare project. Gu Yixun knew that Maqiao Swimming Pool was an illegal building, but he did not investigate and deal with it as required, nor did he submit it for approval as required. More than a year later, the illegal construction defrauded the land acquisition compensation of 6.52 million yuan during the relocation, which caused great losses to the country.

　　In November 2020, Gu Yixun was sentenced to 5 years in prison and fined 200,000 yuan for accepting bribes and abusing his power.

　　Plug the loopholes in the system and strengthen supervision over key positions.

　　Song Yu’s transformation is due to the decline of ideals and beliefs and the passing of theoretical study. Song Yuyou admitted that his ideological understanding and theoretical study were only satisfied with copying notes and reading newspapers, and he didn’t really take it to heart.

　　During the investigation, to the surprise of the investigators, the person in charge of Party building in Song Yuyou’s unit could not even answer the party’s "six disciplines". "It is conceivable to what extent they have relaxed their study of the party’s policy theory." The case handlers are emotional.

　　"The loopholes in the system and the lack of supervision of key positions are also one of the main reasons for the problems." Cui Xiaofei believes that "for some key procurement and bulk procurement issues, we must strictly implement the bidding procedures, including a series of processes such as approval, payment and acceptance, and we must have a strict system."

　　"Talking to the mall is all about himself." The relevant person in charge of the Urban Management Committee of Binhai New Area noticed this detail. "There should be more than three people on some key matters, and there is a supervision for each other, so you can’t go alone." After Song Yuyou’s case happened, the Urban Management Committee of Binhai New Area strengthened the system construction, implementation and supervision, especially for the allocation and use of large funds, and introduced relevant systems to avoid the recurrence of problems.

　　In response to Gu Yixun’s typical case, the Supervision Committee of the Bozhou District Commission for Discipline Inspection of Zunyi City dug deep into the root causes, urged the crime-causing unit to establish a "list of responsibilities, list of problems, list of rectification, and list of results", promoted the improvement of eight systems, standardized 2457 items of laws and regulations and 16 items of administrative licensing items on the Internet, and conducted 447 reminder talks to make the case clear and serve as a warning.

　　Lack of supervision can easily breed corruption. Zhuang Deshui, deputy director of Peking University Public Policy Research Center and Clean Government Construction Research Center, believes that corruption in urban management and sanitation departments is basically relying on mountains and water to make use of their professional advantages, power status and supervision convenience to implement corruption, which has industrial characteristics.

　　How to rectify? Zhuang Deshui suggested: on the one hand, we should strengthen system construction, supervision and management and warning education in related fields, increase information disclosure, take the initiative to accept social supervision, and improve the integrity level of the whole industry. On the other hand, it is necessary to strengthen the reform of institutional mechanisms in related fields, strengthen internal power constraints, redistribute system resources, and break the monopoly of resources in people’s livelihood. In addition, in view of many problems occurring in the bidding process, it is particularly important to establish institutional guarantee for related procurement behaviors.

　　"Problems in the industry sector are often due to its monopoly of special service resources. The current management system should be reformed, so that the urban management and environmental sanitation system can get rid of the simple management department orientation and gradually return to the social service standard. The key point is to guard against departmentalism and break the interests of departments. The reform in this area has more long-term significance. " Zhuang Deshui said. (Reporter Guan Wei)

　　Revolutionary heroes who are desperate for death, battlefield soldiers who have worked hard alone, people with lofty ideals who have destroyed their homes to relieve difficulties, arduous revolutionary struggles, and simple and affectionate bonfire letters — —

　　In Lugouqiao, China People’s War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression Memorial Hall, the theme exhibition "Historical Contribution of Great Victory" shows the 14-year historical picture of China people’s War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression. A piece of historical photos, a piece of historical relics, and a piece of heroic deeds bring people’s thoughts back to the eventful years of "the wolf smoke is everywhere, and the blood is strong."

　　War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression has become history, but the spirit of the Anti-Japanese War has not gone far. This spirit has gone through time and space and is still the driving force for the whole nation to forge ahead.

　　"In the magnificent process of China people’s War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, a great anti-Japanese war spirit has been formed. The people of China have shown the world the patriotic feelings of the rise and fall of the world and the responsibility of every man, the national integrity of dying, the heroism of not fearing violence and bloody battles, and the indomitable and persevering belief in winning." On September 3rd, 2014, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader profoundly explained the spirit of the Anti-Japanese War at the symposium to commemorate the 69th anniversary of China people’s War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the victory of the world anti-fascist war.

　　History is eternal because of inscription, and spirit is immortal because of inheritance. The greater the spirit, the more it can transcend the times, bloom lasting spiritual charm and lead the nation to a brighter future.

　　In September 2019, Xu Taosheng, the hero of the Anti-Japanese War in Efeng Township, Wanzai County, Yichun City, Jiangxi Province, told the students about the past of the Anti-Japanese War, reminding everyone to remember history and maintain peace. Deng Longhua photo/bright picture

　　　1. Patriotic feelings unite national strength

　　Recalling the past, the years are thick.

　　In the history of China since modern times, the great powers have plundered and mourned all night. In the "September 18th Incident" in 1931, Japanese imperialism launched a long-planned war of aggression against China, which pushed the deep crisis of the Chinese nation to its climax.

　　North China Lu Chen, Central Plains Bandang, Sanwu Fenghuo, Jiuxia Qiu … … The rampancy and cruelty of the Japanese invaders pushed China to the desperate situation of "national subjugation and extinction", and at the same time, it also inspired the determination of compatriots all over the country to fight against foreign aggression.

　　At the critical moment of national peril, the outstanding sons and daughters of the Chinese nation stepped forward and "swore to death that they would not be conquered people". In the process of resisting aggression, they sublimated the national spirit with patriotism as the core, United the scattered people in old China, created a pattern of national anti-Japanese war, and set up a spiritual monument for the Chinese nation to shine in history.

　　Home is the smallest country, and there are thousands of countries. Under the baptism of blood and fire, the test of life and death, Chinese realized the true meaning of the feelings of home and country. War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression awakened China, the "sleeping lion", and hardened the patriotic feelings of Chinese sons and daughters. The heart of the whole nation began to condense, agitate and rise, and hundreds of millions of compatriots marched forward bravely.

　　Qian Xuesen, Li Siguang, Deng Jiaxian, Zhao Zhongyao, Tu Guangchi, Zhuang Fenggan, Bao Wenkui … … This series of names can be drawn very long. They are top scholars in various fields. At the beginning of the founding of New China, these overseas sons embarked on a difficult and dangerous road to return home. They poured their enthusiasm into this dreamy land, filled gaps in aviation, aerospace, ships, electronics and other fields, played an extremely important role in major projects such as "two bombs and one satellite" and built the cornerstone of the Republic building.

　　Looking back on the past, the emotion is it. From standing up, becoming rich to becoming strong, the people of China, after an unprecedented awakening, under the leadership of the Communist Party of China (CPC), have created great achievements that have attracted worldwide attention.

　　Look at today, ten thousand horses are still fighting.

　　Shenzhou going to heaven, dragon going to sea, Tiangong docking, Beidou networking … … Generations of outstanding Chinese sons and daughters have integrated their personal struggles into the national strategy, braved the wind and waves, created the world, and wrote a magnificent chapter in the new era. Since the founding of New China, China’s GDP has increased by over 170 times. At present, China has become the world’s second largest economy, the largest country in goods trade and the largest country in foreign exchange reserves.

　　On July 23rd, Wenchang, Hainan, China’s first Mars exploration mission "Tianwen-1" was successfully launched, which started a magnificent journey to Mars. From being poor and blank in the space field to becoming the world’s leading space power, the Chinese nation has risen from suffering, paving a brilliant road full of human miracles.

　　A young scientific researcher who participated in the Mars exploration mission said in an interview: "This trip to Mars exploration is definitely a highlight in my life, and it is also what I can ‘ Show off ’ A lifetime thing. Youth is for struggle. Personal struggle can be integrated into the national cause, which is my greatest happiness. "

　　On July 18th, a symposium of volunteers for the 2020 Western Plan of Baoding College was held in Shijiazhuang, Hebei Province. In the special period of epidemic prevention and control, another 11 graduates went to grassroots posts in Xinjiang and Guangxi to carry out volunteer service. Good sons and daughters are ambitious in all directions, and those who are ambitious have no regrets. In recent years, a large number of college students have gone to the grass-roots units in the west to engage in supporting agriculture, teaching, supporting medicine and helping the poor, and have made contributions to the grass-roots units and the people, so that the flowers of youth can bloom where the motherland needs them most.

　　"The 14-year anti-Japanese war is arduous, and its greatest significance lies in awakening the ignorant people, uniting under the great banner of patriotism, and making great strides to catch up with the trend of the world’s modernization." Hong Xianghua, inspector and professor of the inspector group of the Party School of the CPC Central Committee (National School of Administration), said.

　　Vast and boundless, sail but believe in the wind. The anti-Japanese war spirit created by the great China people in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression is a valuable spiritual wealth for Chinese people to strive for independence and freedom and realize national liberation in modern times. This spirit once led the Chinese nation to defeat the invasion of foreign enemies when it was poor and weak, and it will also guide the Chinese nation to compose a new chapter in the historical journey of decisive battle to build a well-off society in an all-round way and realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

　　2. National integrity arouses the will for self-improvement

　　It was a terrible history, and it was also a magnificent epic.

　　Since it was knocked out of the country in 1840, this land with internal troubles and foreign invasion has been plagued by frequent wars and constant wars. The powers can come and go whenever they want, and it has become a "common practice" to cede land and pay reparations. The Chinese nation has been enslaved for too long.

　　But China didn’t give in, even at the cost of 35 million soldiers and civilians. Just as Comrade Zhu De read the anti-Japanese oath at the Eighth Route Army swearing-in meeting in September 1937 — — For the nation, for the country, for our compatriots, and for future generations, we have to fight to the end!

　　When the festival is poor, it is now, one by one. For improper conquered people, a large number of intellectuals from Peking University, Tsinghua and Nankai fled to the southwest from enemy-occupied areas; Refused to whitewash the peace for the Japanese puppet government, and Mei Lanfang, a famous actress of a generation, went on a song and dance, keeping a clear mind. More and more people, in the thunder drums in The Yellow River Cantata, March of the Volunteers, rushed to the battlefield.

　　A newspaper commentary at that time wrote: "Today, on the battlefield between the North and the South, there is a struggle for death, because everyone has absolute faith and knows that sacrificing themselves is in exchange for the independence and freedom of the children and grandchildren of the Chinese nation for generations, and they are sure that they will achieve it." Such a history and such a spirit cannot be forgotten by the people of China, nor will the people of China.

　　The smoke is far away, but the spirit of the war of resistance is not far away. For China, the sentence "You will be beaten if you fall behind" has taught us a profound lesson. The will to strive for self-improvement, awakened by national integrity, has made striving for strength the strongest voice of the times issued by several generations of Chinese.

　　On July 23rd, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader inspected the latest vehicle products of independent brands such as "Hongqi" in the R&D Institute of China FAW Group, and stressed that the key core technologies must be in his own hands, and this ambition should be established to promote the national automobile brand.

　　Do you remember that New China was poor at the beginning of its founding? Comrade Mao Zedong’s dignified face when he visited the automobile assembly line at Stalin Automobile Factory and his joy when the first domestic car drove into Zhongnanhai was beyond words.

　　Do you remember that a huge mushroom cloud bloomed in Lop Nur, and the music of "Dongfanghong" could be heard on every household’s radio?

　　As you can see, the Three Gorges Dam cut off Wushan Yunyu, and a series of roads crisscrossed the snowy plateau.

　　As you can see, Phoenix spread its wings and Beijing Daxing International Airport was put into operation as scheduled; Four leaves are blooming, and the third China International Import Expo(CIIE) is inviting friends from all over the world.

　　… … … …

　　Those heroes who have sacrificed their lives for national rejuvenation, can this prosperous time be as you wish?

　　Nowadays, is it out of date to carry forward the spirit of the war of resistance in the face of the great changes that have never happened in a hundred years and the complicated international situation?

　　"If you can’t see the crossroads in front of you, think about yesterday. If you can’t see through the complexity and variability of the international situation, you may wish to look at the past. " Xu Chuan, secretary of the General Party Branch of Marxist College of Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, said that today, the great China people have made a solemn and profound choice along the spirit of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, inspiring the people of China to overcome all difficulties and obstacles and make unremitting efforts to achieve national self-improvement.

　　靡不有初，鲜克有终。新征程上，何愁乱云飞渡、风吹浪打，我自坚如磐石，只争朝夕，把前无古人的伟大事业推向前进。

　　3.英雄气概淬炼拼搏精神

　　平型关大战突击连、黄崖洞保卫战英雄团、左权独立营……2019年10月1日，由全军荣誉功勋部队代表组成的战旗方队浩荡驶过天安门。为庆祝新中国成立70周年，100面战旗集结成队、迎风飘扬；100个英雄番号气势如虹、浩气长存。

　　历史无言，精神不朽。透过一件件珍贵的抗战文物，我们把英雄故事铭刻在民族记忆中。

　　一把锈迹斑斑的马刀，见证了“将军腹中无余粮”的悲壮。在冰天雪地与敌周旋战斗5个昼夜后，马刀的主人——东北抗联第1路军总司令杨靖宇壮烈牺牲。日军将他割首剖腹，发现他的胃里尽是枯草、树皮、棉絮，无一粒粮食。

　　一封字迹清秀的绝笔信，书写了一位母亲的温柔与大义。“母亲因为坚决地做了反满抗日的斗争，今天已经到了牺牲的前夕了……我最亲爱的孩子啊，母亲不用千言万语来教育你，就用实行来教育你。”写下这封信后，31岁的赵一曼英勇就义。

　　A rubbings with the names of students who joined the army in The National SouthWest Associated University recorded the hearts of young students who tied their fate with the rise and fall of the country. In The National SouthWest Associated University’s eight-year history, 14 out of every 100 students rushed to the anti-Japanese battlefield. The 834 military students recorded in rubbings are just a silhouette of young people with aspirations going to the national disaster together.

　　Today, the mountains and rivers are intact, but the story of the hero has never been cut off. Later generations tempered their heroism into fighting spirit, and in the new era, they still show a moving style.

　　Mr. Lu Xun once said: "Since ancient times, there have been people who have worked hard, people who have worked hard, people who have pleaded for the people, and people who have sacrificed their lives for the law … … This is the backbone of China. " On the journey of endeavor, there has never been a lack of such people in China. They are Zhang Fuqing, who has hidden his fame all his life and never changed his mind. They are Huang Wenxiu, who dedicated his youth and life to the cause of poverty alleviation. They are China women’s volleyball team who won the World Cup with 11 consecutive victories. They are anti-epidemic fighters who are dressed in white and go retrograde. They are flood fighters who are soaked in sweat and brave in danger & HELIP; …

　　"The spirit of the China people’s war of resistance forged in blood and fire has never gone far." Luo Cunkang, director of China People’s War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression Memorial Hall, said that after decades of development, we have achieved the nirvana of the Phoenix, and the spirit of the Anti-Japanese War has turned into a powerful force to realize national rejuvenation, inspiring us to unite as one in the new era, be fearless of storms, keep our mission in mind and forge ahead courageously.

　　4. The belief of victory casts a great cause of rejuvenation.

　　During the 14 years of the Anti-Japanese War, in the situation of great disparity in strength between China and Japan, the enemy is strong and we are weak, the war situation is unfavorable, the political situation is turbulent, and materials are in short supply, BLACKPINK appeared in various arguments such as "we must settle down first when we are abroad", "the theory of national subjugation", "the theory of quick victory" and "the theory of saving the country by curve".

　　"China will die? Answer: It won’t die. The final victory is China’s. Can China win quickly? Answer: You can’t win quickly. War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression is a protracted war. " Comrade Mao Zedong scientifically predicted the direction of the war in "On Protracted War", which further strengthened the people’s will to fight bloody battles to the end.

　　"The deepest root of the victory of the war exists among the people." The belief of victory has taken root in the hearts of all Chinese people. The Chinese nation shared the same enemy and went to the national disaster together, and launched a life-and-death struggle with the aggressors, and finally won a great victory.

　　People with lofty ideals who advance wave after wave have created "wonders in the history of war, feats of the Chinese nation, and earth-shattering achievements" in the magnificent glorious course, and also achieved the great spirit of anti-Japanese war, which has become a precious spiritual wealth of the people of China.

　　This great victory was China’s first complete victory against foreign invasion in modern times, which opened a new journey for the revival of ancient China.

　　If the sky is sentimental, it will be old, and the right way in the world is vicissitudes.

　　General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out that the victory of China people’s War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression proved that the Chinese nation is a nation with tenacious vitality and extraordinary creativity. As long as we are closely United, there will be no insurmountable difficulties. Entering a new era, we are closer to the goal of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation than at any time in history. However, it is more urgent to wander in the middle of the ship, which requires us to be more determined in our belief in winning, full of confidence in the bright future, stay awake to the complicated road, be good at turning risks into opportunities, challenges into motivation, and break through obstacles and waves.

　　A few months ago, the COVID-19 epidemic broke out suddenly, and the whole country was united as one, starting a people’s war, a general war and a blocking war to prevent and control the epidemic. More than 4.6 million grass-roots party organizations, more than 90 million party member people acted quickly, and more than 42,000 medical personnel rushed to Wuhan. Within ten days, Huoshenshan Hospital and Thunder God Mountain hospital rose from the ground … … In just three months, Wuhan and Hubei have achieved decisive results. China took the lead in controlling the epidemic in the shortest time, and contributed China’s strength and China’s model to the fight against the epidemic.

　　Getting rid of poverty is another tough battle. After several years of hard work, the overall regional poverty has been basically solved, and the rest are hard bones. In the face of the impact of the epidemic, the final battle to get rid of poverty is even more difficult. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader emphasized that it is a solemn promise made by the CPC Central Committee to the people of the whole country that all the rural poor will be lifted out of poverty by 2020 under the current standards, and it must be realized as scheduled.

　　On June 21st, 14,230 people from 2,890 households in 26 townships and 100 administrative villages in Butuo County, Liangshan Prefecture, Sichuan Province, were assigned to live in the centralized resettlement site of Butuo ex situ poverty alleviation and relocation county by lottery, marking the completion of Liangshan ex situ poverty alleviation and relocation task.

　　"When you move into a new home, you don’t have to rent a house." Standing in my new house, from the mountains of Butuo, you are full of expectations for your future life. At present, party committees and governments at all levels lead the broad masses of the people to overcome the impact of the epidemic, push forward poverty alleviation with greater determination and strength, and the dawn of a comprehensive well-off society is ahead.

　　Up and down the same desire, invincible. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, in the face of arduous and complicated reform tasks, the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core has raised the flag and made plans for the layout of articles, and promoted comprehensive and deepening reforms with great political courage and wisdom. A series of major reforms have been solidly promoted, and various measures to facilitate the people, benefit the people and benefit the people have been continuously implemented, and the land of China has glow with new vitality.

　　People are not old after many storms, and it is still a long way to go to the beginning of the mountain. On the road to rejuvenation, the great struggle presents many new historical features. Although it is no longer blood and fire, it is also full of difficulties and dangers. Under the strong leadership of the Communist Party of China (CPC), all Chinese sons and daughters will firmly believe in winning, arouse more high-spirited China spirit and gather more powerful Chinese forces, and will surely reach the glorious other side of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

　　Guangming Daily (August 12, 2020, 05 edition)

Special feature of 1905 film network "The audience loves to watch, the theater makes money, and investors are rushing to vote. This is what I think is the real spring of the film industry."

Walking into Alibaba Pictures, the most intuitive experience is full of sense of science and technology. In the massive industry data, Li Jie, vice president of Alibaba Group and president of Alibaba Pictures, has a keen insight into the audience’s enthusiasm for watching movies in China.

Faced with this enthusiasm, Alibaba Pictures chose to build powerful tools and platforms, and responded by investing in the production of high-quality content. With the strategy of "technology+content", he helped China films to go to the future and the world.

In order to thoroughly publicize and implement the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, on the occasion of the convening of the two sessions of the National People’s Congress, the film channel will launch at 22:00 every night from March 4th.》“Meeting room "is specially planned for the two sessions — — Dialogue spring.Lan Yu, the host, talked with the heads of China film leading enterprises and wrote a new look of China film from different angles.

In this program, Lan Yu talks with Li Jie, vice president of Alibaba Group and president of Alibaba Pictures, focusing on how to empower movies with science and technology, and talks about a new chapter in the development of film industrialization in China.

1.

Data insight industry

Accurately interpret the present and predict the future.

When it comes to Alibaba Pictures, the first thing that comes to mind is undoubtedly its Internet attributes.From the Taobao Film ticketing platform familiar to the users, to the data analysis of Lighthouse Professional Edition commonly used in the industry, the powerful network announcement ability not only provides Alibaba Pictures with an opportunity to understand the current changes in the film market, but also makes it possible to accurately predict the future trend.

With in-depth insight into the industry, Li Jie predicted last year that "the Spring Festival in 2023 will return strongly", as he expected.In 2023, the total box office of the Spring Festival reached 6.758 billion, ranking second in film history, with a total audience of nearly 130 million.

"The reason why we made this prediction is because we found through data analysis that although affected by the epidemic, the audience’s enthusiasm for watching movies has not declined. Last summer’s summer movies all achieved good results," Li Jie said."But in the end, the performance of this year’s Spring Festival file exceeded the expectations of practitioners and started the first shot of returning to work!"

The Spring Festival has ushered in a "good start", and the film market has recovered strongly, which has become a consensus in the industry to promote the overall development of the industry. Li Jie has provided an accurate interpretation from three dimensions: cinema, audience and creators.

First of all, from the cinema side, the total number of Spring Festival files is basically the same as the historical peak; Secondly, from the audience’s point of view, since the beginning of this year, the annual per capita number of movies has stopped falling and stabilized, which means that more and more audiences have returned to the cinema and regained their enthusiasm for watching movies.

Third, from the creative point of view, with the recovery of the market, filmmakers continue to strengthen their confidence, and the number of film and television projects that have entered the preparation, project establishment and shooting has also increased significantly.

Li Jie said with relief: "From the three dimensions of cinema, audience and creator, I feel that the spring of movies has really come!"

2.

Strengthen content construction

When the new film will be shown.

"Alibaba Pictures’s mission is to add technology and content."According to Li Jie, Alibaba Pictures has always insisted on continuous annotation and accurate control of high-quality content.

In 2018, Alibaba Pictures released the "Golden Orange Co-production Plan" based on high-quality content co-production, and announced that it would release 20 high-quality films in the next five years and four major schedules.

Now, in the past five years, the number of films has already exceeded 20, among which there are many excellent masterpieces that are applauded and hit the box office.When it comes to Alibaba Pictures’s new films to be shown this year, Li Jie is even more familiar.

On March 10, a comedy film directed and performed by itself will be the first to appear, directly hitting the hot topic of cyber violence and giving the audience warm and healing positive energy; On March 24th, a new work will also appear. As the first Japanese animated film introduced this year, it is expected to incite the market by word of mouth.

On April 7,The spirit of the dragon and the horse will be shown.In which he plays a former action star, not only as a true character, but also as a tribute to all the dragon and tiger martial artists in the film industry.

The next May Day stalls and Dragon Boat Festival stalls will have "The King of the Sky" respectively.And new films such as "Disappeared She" are coming strongly.

"King of the Sky" focuses on the test pilot group, showing the blood and responsibility of the younger generation of China Air Force. Li Jie revealed that during the filming process, the crew overcame many difficulties and introduced virtual shooting technology. The creative process also embodies the strong willpower of filmmakers to overcome difficulties.

"Unfamiliar Road of Life" will explore the type of "road comedy" and lead the audience to "go on the road" happily; "She Disappeared" will deepen the creation of suspense films and is expected to continue to push up the type ceiling.

As the second largest schedule in the whole year, summer vacation is also a battleground for all families. Films with diverse themes and types will be presented together to continuously meet the audience’s viewing needs.

In Li Jie’s view, if China’s film industry wants to achieve a comprehensive recovery, it can’t just rely on the Spring Festival file to stand out, but use a steady supply of excellent films to create countless "weekend files". "We should use good works to let the audience enter the cinema every weekend and regard watching movies on weekends as a sense of ceremony. This is what we filmmakers should do."

Technology-enabled movies

Promote the industrialization and upgrading of the film industry

It was born four years ago, which marked the rise of science fiction movies in China, and made "film industrialization" become the focus of industrial attention. This year’s Spring Festival file has achieved good results again, and behind the shocking visual effect is the rapid take-off of China’s film industrialization level.

Li Jie concluded: "In recent years, China movies have been talking about five words — — Film industrialization’. " In his view, how to realize industrialization should be divided into two major paths.

The first is the shooting and production of heavy industry films. In recent years, the domestic heavy industry sci-fi films represented by The Wandering Earth and Moon Man have been comparable to Hollywood blockbusters in terms of special effects, which has also promoted the comprehensive innovation of the whole industry in shooting technology and projection technology.

In the future, Alibaba Pictures will continue to support the creation of domestic heavy industry films, and it is expected to cooperate with China Film again to launch another domestic sci-fi blockbuster in the Spring Festival three years later.

Second, film industrialization should also be reflected in the process and systematization of film production management. Alibaba Pictures also hopes to provide tools and platforms for practitioners through lighthouse, Yunshang production and frame-sharing virtual shooting technology, so as to improve the industrialization level of production management.

Report to the 20th CPC National Congress of the Communist Party of China proposed to strengthen the influence of Chinese civilization, stick to the position of Chinese culture, tell the story of China well, spread the voice of China well, show a credible, lovely and respectable image of China, and promote Chinese culture to the world better.

Li Jie also revealed that Alibaba Pictures will launch a selection plan for young Chinese directors around the world this year to support young directors with international vision and overseas film education background to complete the creation of the first commercial feature film in China.

"Let people who know the world audience tell the story of China well, encourage them to combine Chinese culture with international vision, and really push China films out," Li Jie said.

Looking to the future, Alibaba Pictures will continue to adhere to the two-wheel drive strategy of "technology+content", serve the industry with powerful tools and platforms, respond to the audience’s enthusiasm for watching movies with fine content, promote the industrialization of China films and tell the world the story of China.

As Li Jie described it, spring is not far away, and we will have a fiery summer and a bumper autumn.

The decline of traditional department stores seems to have become a trend. From the farewell of Isetan, Pacific Department Store and Landmark Plaza in Meilong Town to the closure of the Sixth Department Store, Huilian Commercial Building and Shanghai Women’s Products Store, the old department stores have "left" one after another. At the same time, shopping centers are experiencing rapid development. In 2024, Shanghai plans to open 52 shopping centers (including old renovation projects) with an area of 3.8 million square meters, a five-year high.

There are e-commerce platforms chasing online and shopping centers encircling offline. The traditional department store format has long been "no transformation and no survival". A survey by Xinmin Evening News reporter found that in recent years, a number of department stores in Shencheng changed their faces to seek nirvana and rebirth, and a number of shopping centers used their brains to create hot topics frequently. Everyone has a consensus that there is no longer an era of "lying and winning" in physical commerce. It is necessary not only to stand up and run, but also to compare who runs faster.

Time is stagnant, and traditional department stores are closed.

On March 25th this year, Shanghai Meilong Isetan Department Store Co., Ltd. announced that it would officially terminate its business on June 30th, 2024. This closure has made many Shanghai residents feel embarrassed.

As one of the earliest foreign department stores in the mainland, Isetan was once a symbol of fashion and trendy, and took the lead in introducing a number of Japanese and overseas brands. In particular, Isetan in Meilong Town, where it is located, and CITIC Pacific and hang lung plaza around it once formed the "Mei Taiheng Golden Triangle", which is the representative of Shanghai’s high-end business.

During the Qingming small holiday, Isetan in Meilong Town launched a clearance promotion to speed up the retreat. However, compared with the "nostalgia" with different opinions on the Internet, the heat in the shopping mall is not so high. Only some counters have welcomed groups of customers who sweep goods, and most of them are Japanese-made goods with high cost performance.

"Time seems to have stopped here." Ms. Lu used to work in an office building on Nanjing West Road. At noon, she had lunch in Isetan, Meilong Town, and then went shopping with her colleagues to see the new clothes and cosmetics. It was her daily life. But I haven’t been to another company for about seven or eight years. "I heard that I was going to close the store, so I just wanted to come back and have a look. I didn’t expect that the brand and layout here have not changed, or they were the same. Traditional, low-key but lacking in new ideas, no wonder there are no people now. "

Beauty cosmetics on the first floor, beauty cosmetics and underwear on the second floor, and clothing, shoes, bags and accessories on the third floor and above. Many brands make young people feel strange. Grocery, restaurants and beauty shops are randomly distributed on each floor. Except for the dessert on the fifth floor, other restaurants are hidden in the corner, with few guests. Only the supermarkets and food streets in the basement are popular. Xinmin Evening News reporter saw on the Internet that some young consumers who heard the news bluntly said after punching in, "The sense of sight of old-fashioned shopping malls seems to have returned to the last century."

Not just Isetan. On February 18th this year, Shanghai Sixth Department Store officially closed its store after closing its business. Next to it, Pacific Department Store Xuhui Store, which has been operating for 30 years, bid farewell to Shanghai consumers last year. Prior to this, Pacific Department Store Huaihai Store, New Railway Station Store and Landmark Plaza were closed one after another. In other cities, it is not uncommon for department stores to close.

Focusing on the experience economy, shopping centers have risen.

Shanghai is the birthplace of modern department stores in China. Xianshi Department Store, one of the four largest companies in Nanjing Road, is the ancestor of Shanghai department store industry. In 1995, First Yaohan opened, which is the first large-scale department store with Sino-foreign joint venture in China. Since then, the department store format has ushered in a "golden age."

However, with the rise of e-commerce, people can easily shop through mobile phones without spending time in physical stores. In addition, large shopping centers are opened in all corners of the city, providing diversified shopping, dining, entertainment and experience places, attracting a large number of consumers. The competitiveness of department stores has been seriously challenged.

According to industry insiders, many old department stores have been in business for more than ten years or even decades, and their decoration is often relatively old, and the proportion of formats is relatively traditional, mainly based on traditional goods such as clothing and household department stores. With the changes of the times and the upgrading of consumer demand, this traditional business model has been difficult to meet the needs of modern consumers. "Now consumers need not only the goods themselves, but also the comfort, convenience and fun in the shopping process, which is precisely the shortcoming of department stores."

Compared with the traditional department stores, the shopping centers in Shanghai are opening more, bigger and farther. According to the statistics of Shanghai Shopping Center Association, by the end of 2023, there were 381 existing shopping centers (over 30,000 square meters) in Shanghai, with a total construction area of 2,825.76 square meters. Among them, there are 16 super-large shopping centers over 200,000 square meters, including Lujiazui Shanghai Center, Shanghai Global Port, Wujiaochang Heshenghui and Nanxiang Impression City.

Nowadays, shopping centers have become the main force of physical commerce. In 2024, there will be 52 more shopping centers (including old renovation projects) in Shanghai, with five new towns as the main layout areas, and 40 new projects are small and medium-sized shopping centers with a floor area of less than 100,000 square meters, which will cut into many sub-sectors such as parent-child, elderly, food, sports and entertainment training, focusing on community commerce close to the needs of citizens.

Enrich the combination of formats and harvest offline traffic

The core advantage of high-energy players in shopping centers is to provide consumers with good space environment services through the collection of different formats, create highlights of scenes and topics, attract and retain consumers, and become a gathering place for offline traffic.

As the largest shopping center in the downtown area of Shanghai, in 2023, Shanghai Global Port ranked first in Shanghai’s commercial sales with a good annual sales income of 20.3 billion yuan, surpassing the 17.1 billion yuan of Shanghai hang lung plaza. From the "big and earthy" that was ridiculed by the crowd ten years ago to the "king of popularity" today, what did Shanghai Global Port do right?

Entering the global port, its large area and complete functions are breathtaking, as if it were a giant aircraft carrier with commercial functions. According to reports, Global Port is constantly adjusting and upgrading its brand format every year, with an average annual new rate of nearly 10%. In 2023, it introduced more than 30 first stores, including the tomato pocket of Chaowan Collection Store, DIY handmade brand HOOWD2Y, and Zhiqu Hanfu, which injected full momentum into the consumer activity index and also harvested huge traffic for shopping malls.

Breaking through the traditional shopping center model, Shanghai Global Port has also integrated diversified artistic activities into daily business operations, and has gradually mastered the happy password of young people’s "interest consumption". The performance hall on the 4th floor was upgraded, and the National Figure Skating Champion Team was ushered in at the beginning of the year. Symphony concerts and popular stage plays were also introduced, and exhibitions such as the Louvre Collection Art Exhibition and the Legend Picasso Art Exhibition were even more popular and well-received, becoming a cross-border blend and trend gathering place of Shanghai’s multiculturalism.

Also focusing on all-age customers, Hongqiao Nanfeng City takes the parent-child format as the entry point, and uses the "baby economy" to drive the consumption demand of the whole family and increase the consumption stickiness. After 9 years of opening, the atrium of Nanfeng City in Hongqiao has to make 6 to 7 IPS every year, and the well-known cartoon authorized IP has been basically used once. Around the parent-child, the mall has a variety of formats from retail, catering to education and entertainment experience, and the brands are quite complete. In the process, it has established the benchmark image of "Puxi Parent-child Shopping Mall".

Nanfengcheng’s IP exhibition "Exploring the Wonder Leopard Hidden Forest" is very popular.

In order to let the parents of "Walkers" settle down to shop and really turn "flow" into "reserve", Hongqiao Nanfeng City has also used a lot of brains. For example, while doing IP in the atrium, it has created a flash zone for car brands, realizing the consumption experience of "Mom Walkers, Dad Watching Cars" and creating traffic for its own physical stores; For example, in non-winter and summer vacations, introduce art IP to attract surrounding white-collar workers, enrich the source of customers, and create opportunities for non-catering shops.

Finding its own position, the department store still has something to do.

Based on the present situation, how should department stores be transformed and broken? After ten years of struggle and exploration, the way out for department stores is very clear. There are only two ways, one is to be big, and the other is to be specialized.

The so-called big, not only to expand the area, more importantly, to expand the format, to provide more tricks, so that customers continue to do repeat business; The so-called specialization is to locate more accurately and closely. The elderly, urban white-collar workers, mothers and children, and the second element are all market segments that can be deeply cultivated.

Last weekend, First Yaohan held an annual special thank-you meeting to warm up the "May 5 th Shopping Festival", taking "the sales promotion with the biggest discount in the whole year" as a gimmick to attract consumers to "buy in buy buy" in advance. Wang Jia, deputy general manager of First Yaohan, said that department stores are purposeful consumption places, which are different from shopping malls. However, in order to meet customers’ diversified needs and personalized preferences, brand changes have never stopped. Making beauty bigger and stronger and increasing catering brand drainage are the two main lines. "After the adjustment, the number of planned cosmetics brands on the first floor increased from 34 to 45, and 27 beauty brands were renewed and upgraded, further confirming the head position of Yaohan beauty category in the Shanghai market. Next month, the renovation of the fa? ade project will be started, and the big curved wall and spiral staircase will be made into’ online celebrity punch point’. "

When it comes to restructuring, New World Daimaru Department Store will start a high-rise renovation this year. Inspired by "Crown", it will create the "Eye of the Bund" and set up bright spots such as cultural art galleries, interactive spaces, wild gardens and brand shows, aiming to become the punching point of online celebrity in the eyes of citizens and tourists. Ye Yifan, executive director of New World Daimaru Department Store, said that the renovation is not only an upgrade of the physical space of the mall, but also an innovative attempt of the traditional department store format, hoping to attract more fashionable and young consumers, so that they can find their own consumption scenes at different times.

Bailian ZX on Nanjing East Road became the second sacred place of Shanghai.

There are also some old department stores that cut into market segments and transformed from comprehensive department stores into theme department stores. Among them, the most successful case is undoubtedly Bailian ZX Creative Fun Field, the first commercial building in China with the theme of "Secondary Element" transformed from hualian department store. Every detail in the shopping mall is "embracing the second element", which is based on the "Z generation" culture and circle recognition as a whole. Starting from the construction of a common discourse system, we will convey the attitude of "knowing you" to the second element lovers and create a community space gathered because of their common love for the second element culture. Only one year after its opening, Bailian ZX Creative Fun Field has become the "Secondary Cultural Holy Land" for the younger generation of social consumption in Shanghai. During the Spring Festival this year, its single-store passenger flow increased by 63%, and its sales scale increased by 175%.

There are also established department stores such as the First Department Store Commercial Center and New World City, and some floors are also taken out to create a "second-yuan" theme block and performing arts space. With the help of business travel and cultural exhibitions, more young consumers are attracted to the store. "We hope to attract more young customers by upgrading our products and services." Zhao Weigang, general manager of the First Department Store Commercial Center, said that the First Department Store has built a 4,000-square-meter "star space" on the seventh floor of the mall, with 12 immersive theaters, which has become a new landmark of Shanghai’s performing arts. "According to our research, female consumers born in the 1990s are the main force of’ Star Space’ to watch the drama idolize, and they are also the main customers we are trying to attract."

There are many volumes in the market, and Shanghai’s business will work hard. With the continuous advancement of the times, whether it is a department store or a shopping center, business upgrading and adjustment has always been a constant proposition, and it is also an important measure to maintain competitive advantage. Only by aiming high can Shanghai become the gathering place of new consumer brands, the source of model innovation and the vane of consumption trend, and accelerate the promotion of the attraction and influence of international consumer center cities.

　　Xinhua News:General Vladimir Popov King, Deputy Minister in charge of weapons and equipment of the Russian Ministry of Defense, publicly stated at a press conference on the 5th that the Russian defense procurement funds will not be cut in 2009 -2011, and a quarter of the funds will be used for the modernization and upgrading of strategic nuclear forces. The website of the Russian "Viewpoint" broadcasted a signed article entitled "Expecting missiles" on the 5 th. The main points are as follows:

General Vladimir Popov Kim, Deputy Minister in charge of weapons and equipment of the Russian Ministry of Defense.

　　When talking about the drafting of the national equipment plan for 2011 -2020, popovkin said that the future plan aims to eliminate the imbalance between military maintenance expenses and equipment expenses in the military expenditure structure. By 2011, the proportion of the two will reach the same level, that is, 50% each. By 2015, the ratio of the two will become 30% to 70%, that is to say, 70% of military expenditure will be used to buy new sophisticated weapons.

　　Popovkin said that the amount of defense procurement in 2009 -2011 will reach 1.5 trillion rubles (about 42 billion US dollars) and will not be cut. This seems to be a huge number, but the amount set last year has been greatly reduced by inflation (the inflation rate in 2008 was 10%-11%). Inflation is still rising, and according to the most conservative estimate, it will reach 15% by the end of this year. Considering this factor, it is hard to think that the allocation for arms procurement for three years has not been cut.

　　Fortunately, a real large sum of money will finally be invested in the military sector. Now, it is crucial to ensure that the money can reach the "end users"-weapons and equipment producers. China has always had many problems in this respect, although it has been trying to reverse this unfavorable situation.

　　Although popovkin vowed that 15% of defense orders in 2009 had been paid in advance to military enterprises, according to the information held by this newspaper, some military enterprises have not received the payment delivered in the third quarter of 2008.

　　According to popovkin, the Air Force will buy 50 new fighters in 2009. This figure is not questioned, and it is easy to allocate by model. The 24 MIG -29CM T returned by Algeria will account for half of the order. There are also eight Su -27CM fighters, which are new fighters upgraded according to the 2007 contract. 6-8 upgraded Su -25CH fighter planes and 10-12 upgraded Su -24M 2 frontline bombers. Only two Su -3 4 bombers are completely new and are scheduled to be delivered this year.

Russian "Baiyang" intercontinental missile

　　General popovkin focused on the development of strategic rocket soldiers and strategic nuclear forces at sea, and a quarter of the defense procurement expenses will be used for the modernization and upgrading of these two items. He first promised that the "Brava -M" submarine-launched missile, which failed repeatedly this year, would be installed, so more test firing was needed.

　　Much more important than the "Brava" issue is the report that more than 10 intercontinental ballistic missile launchers will be added to the strategic rocket force this year.

　　In his speech, the equipment director mentioned that it was no accident that Russia developed a space defense weapon system. He explicitly warned: "No matter which country wants to deploy weapons in space, Russia will oppose it." Although both the United States and China have successfully tested anti-satellite weapons, there is no doubt that China is still the only country with excellent anti-satellite weapons that can be manufactured within a reasonable period of time. The unique A-36 anti-missile system in the world is an example. (Editor: Apeng)
