Spy war drama is difficult to do, how to produce explosions one after another?

>A new name-"Rebel" has been added to the spy war drama with more than 8 points.

>It is well known that the creation of spy war dramas is difficult. In the past, high-rated works such as "Hidden" and "Cliff" weighed down on the creator’s mind like mountains, and later, the audience’s high expectations, as well as the high requirements of paying equal attention to the transmission of core values and the rigorous and beautiful story. Compared with costume dramas and urban dramas, the output of spy war dramas in the whole industry is not too high, and good works are rare.

>In 2013, screenwriter Li Xiaoming began to adapt the novel The Rebel. It was not until 2021 that this drama series, which was produced and produced by Xinli Media, met the audience. It took writers, directors and other creative writers eight years to create a spy war drama, which not every film and television company could insist on and complete.

>Looking back at the previous works of Xinli Media, Cliff with a score of 8.5, Kite with a score of 8.8, and Sting, which stands out among a number of new types of spy war dramas, so frequently produce high-quality works in the content field of spy war dramas, perhaps there are more stories and experiences behind Xinli Media.

> Rating of Rebel, Cliff and Kite as of press time

Why can Rebel break through?

>Most of the stories of spy war dramas begin with undercover. Some underground workers with dreams are passing on information under many difficulties, while the audience is watching for victory in the thrills. However, The Rebel is a work that completely subverts the audience’s inherent impression of spy war dramas.

>"The Rebel is more about the story of Lin Nansheng’s growth, choice and belief under the background of the Anti-Japanese War and national survival." The person in charge of Xinli TV told.Yuli studioThe code name "postman" runs through the whole play, but in the end, the audience will find that "postman" is not a specific person, but a belief. All the sacrifices and bloodshed in the play are protecting the postman, as well as protecting the party and protecting their inner pursuit and yearning.

>There is such a sublime intention that "The Rebel" is destined to be different from the previous spy war dramas, because it is no longer just burying suspense, but paying more attention to drama and characterization of characters. "We are more paving the way for the feelings, changes and growth of the characters, as well as his choices in growth."

>Lin Nansheng has no resources and background. He is an excellent student in a special training school. He is born with sensitive insight, calm and introverted personality, and has the qualities that an intelligence officer should have. The Rebel didn’t give the protagonist a lot of golden finger scenes from the beginning, but it was closer to a newcomer who just entered the society in characterization. "Rebel" let the audience see Lin Nansheng’s inexperience, the pain of his choice, and that he eventually became an excellent revolutionary.

>Based on such a leading role, The Rebel is by no means a cool drama, and any character in the play does not depend on the existence of the leading actor. On the contrary, it is these supporting roles that influence the choice of the leading actor, and it is also because of the influence of these characters that Lin Nansheng’s ideological transformation is more natural.

>The innovation of stories and people’s designs needs a suitable actor to present them.Responsible for Xinli TVPeople have a good eye on Zhu Yilong. "Zhu Yilong is different from the idol in the traditional sense. In his previous works, whether he is the protagonist or not, he has strong performance ability, and his temperament conforms to the image of Lin Nansheng."

>Lin Nansheng’s inner play is very difficult. There are many scenes in the play that have no lines, and actors need to perform to show that kind of forbearance, restraint, pain and wandering thoughts. "Zhu Yilong’s eyes can talk and have content, which is very important."

>Plus Zhu Yilong’s literary temperament, "We know that he studied piano and chatted when we met, and he also told us about the movies he had seen, which in itself matched Lin Nansheng’s temperament. The opening song of "Rebel" is "Boat Song in June" played by Lang Lang, and we are also pursuing the literary quality of this work. Such a title song actually reflects the confusion of the characters in that era from the side, but finally found their own direction. " The person in charge of Xinli TV told.Yuli studio.

Respect the law of creation and don’t innovate for the sake of innovation.

>From the audience’s point of view, the Rebel has made many adjustments and innovations in the big category of spy war dramas, but in fact,Responsible for Xinli TVhumanIt seems that its innovation is still based on respecting the direction of content-spy war drama is already a mature theme, and it has its own creative rules to follow.

>"In fact, when we look back at these high-scoring spy war dramas, we will find their common characteristics-they must have a higher spiritual level of conception and pursuit, and faith must be able to stand in the drama. The spiritual core of spy war dramas is the glory of faith and humanity."

>For example, in "Kite", Zheng Yaoxian was still a staunch believer in communism when all his superiors died and no one could prove his identity. The same is true of Cliff. Zhou Yi did not hesitate in the face of life and death. He would rather die than be a traitor. This indomitable core attracted the audience’s spiritual strength. This spiritual power is displayed from the plot and sublimated in the plot. Perhaps after many years, the audience may not remember the specific story, but they will certainly remember people like Zheng Yaoxian and Zhou Yi under the influence of this force.

> Top: Kite, in which Liu Yunlong plays Zheng Yaoxian.

>Next: On the Cliff, Zhang Jiayi plays Zhou Yi.

>From Cliff and Kite to Scare and Rebel, Xinli Media has accumulated a lot of experience in the creation of spy wars.Responsible for Xinli TVhumanIt also summarizes the rules that need to be followed at the level of content production when trading spy war dramas:

>First, respect the audience of spy war dramas. In fact, the cultural level and aesthetic ability of the audience of spy war dramas are relatively high, so the script logic should be rigorous, and it should be developed around the glory of faith and human nature, and the content should be realistic and reductive.

>Second, the production should follow the unity of this type of content, including light and shadow, mirror movement and color, which requires high performance of actors. All actors are under the same performance system, and the performance methods should be unified, with original lines and no dubbing.

>Third, the service of morality and beauty should be unified and restored. Clothing, in particular, must be very strictly restored to what it should look like in the background age of the story, and the format of the clothes cannot be wrong.

>Fourth, choose the right protagonist. The spy war drama has very high requirements for the protagonist’s performance, and the most important representative work of many actors is also the spy war drama. A good spy war drama can make the market and the audience feel the charm of the actors. Similarly, whether the protagonist of a spy war drama is popular because of his role is also one of the criteria for judging the broadcast of a spy war drama.

> rebels, Zhu Yilong, Tanya.

>"The spy war drama can’t be innovated casually. In fact, we have always been creating according to the law, respecting historical facts, telling stories, feelings and spirits seriously. In terms of clothing, music and photography, everything is done according to the law. Don’t mix and match, but be more rigorous."

>Responsible for Xinli TVhumanIt is believed that the script creation of an excellent spy war drama takes at least three years, and it is basically an "orphan". The success of spy war drama lies not in great innovation, but in respecting the law and intention.

Do not follow the trend, there is improvement.

>Although the spy war drama is difficult, it still has its market value. It is what Xinli Media has been doing to tap this value. For spy warfare, having rich creative experience is the greatest advantage. Work hard on the script, high aesthetic standards, proper casting and proper details can add up to the project.

>"Until now, in the creation, we are all very High and very serious. For example, when the poster team comes up with a plan, we will all ask for old photos and historical materials that conform to the time node for reference. What kind of expressions, hats and costumes were worn by the characters at that time, we will restore them through performances and cultural roads. We have never regarded any work as an assembly line product, nor will we deliberately pursue market popularity. Only a good story and a good script will we be willing to pay time for it. "

>Not afraid of slowness is also a feature of Xinli Media. "We can’t speed up, we still have to shoot one work and leave one."Responsible for Xinli TVhumanSaid, "every play of the company has to be revised at least four or five times. We don’t pursue speed, but we demand quality."

> The Rebel, Zhu Yilong

>Cao Huayi, the chairman of Xinli Media, has been working in the publishing field in his early years. This experience has given him content sensitivity and judgment, and also laid the aesthetic benchmark for Xinli Media’s content. In addition to the content, he is also constantly exploring new creative talents to join the creation, and the director Zhou You of The Rebel is an example.

>Zhou You is a serious young director, who has no experience in creating spy war dramas before. However, Cao Huayi and his creative team found that he was very logical. The most important thing was that he was persistent and enthusiastic about stories and works, and he also had a strong grasp of details.

>"Before the boot, after Li Xiaoming, Qin Wen and other screenwriters laid a solid foundation for the script, Director Zhou You took the screenwriter to participate in the creation of the second half of the script, which made the whole story look like today."Responsible for Xinli TVhumanExpress.

> "Rebel" set, Zhu Yilong, Wang Yang

>Using the right people and doing the right things, this methodology is also applicable to Xinli Media’s choice of its own behind-the-scenes team.Responsible for Xinli TVhumanFor example, "Director Sun Hao was a fan of the original book before filming Joy of Life, so when he found a new beauty, his desire to create was already very strong. Love is the first, which is what we value most when building the main creative team. "

>In addition to the persistence in creation, the promotion in publicity is also particularly important. "The promotion of" Rebel "is actually closely following social media. Whether it is the creation of the script or the later announcement, it is closely following and respecting the current social values."

>The spy war drama is not a particularly popular type in the film and television drama market, but it is just needed by the audience. Xinli Media continues to deepen its cultivation in the field of spy war drama, but it is not just doing this category of works. "We are still doing, still insisting, but we are not good at it, so we will study carefully first."

>Willing to invest, but not making ineffective investment; Understand the market, but don’t cater to the market. No one can fully predict the audience’s preferences, but they can ask for their own creative attitude and way.The success of Rebel is not accidental, nor is it a gamble, but a product of Xinli Media based on its own creative experience and strict compliance with creative laws.

>From the end of last year to the present, Xinli Media has gained many explosions in addition to The Rebel, such as My Husband, last romance and Douluo Mainland. It can ensure the success rate of the works on the premise of exploring multiple themes, and perhaps it is also inseparable from Xinli Media’s understanding of the content and its compliance with the creative rules.

For the first time, China Air Force joined naval air force to participate in international military competition.

Xinhua News Agency, Ryazan, Russia, July 27th (Huang Shubo, Pei Shaohua) Eleven China Air Force and two Navy military aircraft all arrived at Gargilevo Airport in Ryazan, Russia on the 25th, and jointly participated in the "International Military Competition -2019" and "Aviation Darts" for the first time, which became a highlight of China’s military going abroad.

According to Dong Li, Deputy Chief of Staff of China Air Force, the "International Military Competition -2019" and "Aviation Darts" project will be held at the "Du Burovic" shooting range in Ryazan, Russia, and China Air Force will compete in four groups: fighter group, bomber group, long-range aviation group and transport group. Among them, China Air Force Aviation and Navy Aviation participated in the bomber group project competition at the same time, which was the first time that China’s air force and navy competed with other countries’ troops on the international military competition stage.

Dong Li said that with the establishment and improvement of the new pattern of China Military Commission’s general management, theater main battle and service main construction, the exchange activities between services have increased year by year, such as the participation of naval aviation in the air force’s "golden helmet" competitive assessment against air combat and the air force’s participation in the navy’s actual live-fire exercises, and the exchanges between services have gained a lot. This cross-border transition of air and naval aviation formations indicates that the China Army has the ability to organize joint forces of services to go abroad to carry out tasks, and also shows that the level of joint training of air and naval forces has been improved.

"International Military Competition -2019" will be held in early August. Ten countries including Russia, China and Kazakhstan will jointly host 32 events. It is estimated that 216 teams from 34 countries will compete on the same stage. Among them, China’s army will participate in 16 events, and the Air Force will also participate in the "Airborne Platoon" event held at the "Redwood Boat" shooting range in Pskov, Russia.

Brief introduction of the crew members of the wrecked helicopter and their unknown stories

Special topic: Wenchuan earthquake in Sichuan

  Xinhuanet Chengdu, June 10th (Reporter Zhu Yingtao) There were five crew members: Qiu Guanghua, Li Yue, Wang Huaiyuan, Chen Lin and Zhang Peng.


  Since May 12, Captain Qiu Guanghua, together with five crew members, including Li Yue, Wang Huaiyuan, Chen Lin and Zhang Peng, has continuously carried out the tasks of transporting injured people and delivering relief materials in areas with complex geographical and meteorological conditions, with a total of 63 flights, transporting 25.8 tons of materials, transporting 87 relief workers and transferring 234 affected people, including 54 injured people due to disasters.


  Their story


  1. Qiu Guanghua, born in April 1957, is a native of Maoxian County, Sichuan Province, and a Qiang nationality. He is the first generation of minority pilots trained in China. Helicopter captain, four kinds of weather flight commanders, special pilot. He has won second-class merit twice and third-class merit four times. Qiu Guanghua, 51, has more than 5,800 hours of flying experience. In this earthquake relief alone, he flew 63 sorties, and together with the crew, delivered 25.8 tons of relief materials to Wenchuan, Maoxian, Lixian, Wolong, Yingxiu, Gengda, Qingchuan, Beichuan, Pingwu and Anxian successively, transported 87 rescuers of various types, and transferred 234 people affected by the disaster, including 54 people injured by the disaster.


  After the 5.12 earthquake, Qiu Guanghua, who was about to be grounded, took the initiative to find the group leader and asked to go to the front line of disaster relief. Five days later, he learned that his house was destroyed and his parents, who were nearly 80 years old, lived in shacks. Since the day of the earthquake, Qiu Guanghua has flown to Maoxian County for six times, flying over his hometown every time. When rushing the wounded, the landing point was less than 800 meters away from home. While waiting for the lift-off, he still didn’t leave the plane to go home.


  2. Li Yue, born in 1980, is a leader among the young pilots of the Army Aviation Corps. Li Yue is the only child in the family. At the beginning of this year, she just got a marriage certificate. The young couple have a wish: when the task of the army is not tense, they will go out for a meaningful trip and get married. However, from the beginning of the year, the troops carried out the task of fighting against ice and snow disaster relief to the earthquake relief, and he volunteered to participate, and he was always busy, so that the wedding had to be postponed again and again. Li Yue likes photography, and his computer is full of photos of flowers, plants and animals he has taken. He wants to use the lens to leave the most beautiful honeymoon memory in the background of famous mountains and rivers.


  3. Wang Huaiyuan, born in 1961, has 3010 hours of flying experience and is a senior aircrew mechanic of the Army Aviation Corps. He was awarded the third class merit once and the second class merit once. Wang Huaiyuan used to be a fighter pilot, who was grounded because of a slight illness. But he never gave up and finally returned to the blue sky as an excellent aircrew mechanic. In this disaster relief, every time Wang Huaiyuan returned from the disaster area, he brought back a handful of telephone numbers written by the people in the disaster area with cigarette cases and paper shells. As soon as he got off the plane, he kept calling to help the people in the disaster area report peace to their loved ones, but he only called home for more than 10 days. Wang Huaiyuan, who will retire in a few years, has already made arrangements for his retirement-returning to his hometown in Luxian County, Sichuan Province, and planting oranges. His brother suffers from leg disease, which makes him unable to move. He promised his younger brother that he would take his younger brother to a big hospital for artificial limbs after carrying out this disaster relief mission.


  4. Chen Lin, born in 1980, is 28 years old. He is the deputy squadron leader and assistant aircrew mechanic of the Third Squadron of the Maintenance Brigade of the Army Aviation Corps.


  Chen Lin passed the examination in just four years after graduating from the military academy in 2001, and became an aircrew mechanic from a ground mechanic. He was the first technician in the same batch to "lift the air". At the end of each flight, he climbed into the airtight tail beam and carefully checked every part. His squadron has always been at the forefront of the whole regiment in terms of maintenance level. Since the earthquake, in order to let the pilots fly with peace of mind, the regiment has specially set up tents for family members to avoid disasters. But in order not to cause trouble to the group, Chen Lin resolutely refused to let his wife come to the team. At 11 o’clock noon on May 31, Chen Lin’s wife came to visit her father who had not met for more than half a month with her daughter who had just turned one year old. Unexpectedly, this became the last meeting between husband and wife, father and daughter.


  5. Zhang Peng, born in 1984, is a typical "post-80s" soldier and a second-class non-commissioned officer. In this earthquake relief, he volunteered to help each unit load and unload materials. He worked continuously at the airport for more than 12 hours every day and participated in 170 sorties of loading and unloading relief materials, totaling more than 60 tons.


  On the 21st, the Army Aviation Corps held a ceremony to pay special dues to the disaster area. party member was the only ordinary soldier in the long line, and Zhang Peng was the only one. In the first half of the year, the company just listed Zhang Peng as the development target of party member. After the disaster, Zhang Peng has donated money to 100 yuan. This time, he has to take part in the special membership dues activities. As he was in a hurry to start, he didn’t bring much money, so he handed over the only 80 yuan money in his pocket as a special party dues as a non-party member. Gao Yue, the administrator of the management unit of the Army Aviation Corps, said that Zhang Peng’s words suddenly increased since he participated in the earthquake relief. Sleep in the car, walk on the road, and tell your comrades from time to time about the people and things you saw in the disaster area. "I want to adopt an orphan." One night, Zhang Peng suddenly said this. Gao Yue smiled: "You haven’t grown up yourself!" "Growing up is not about age, but whether you know the responsibility and have the courage to take responsibility." Zhang Peng said.


  Their team


  Five crew members are from an aviation regiment in Chengdu Military Region. The regiment is an air force in the Chengdu Military Region. It performs various urgent and dangerous tasks under the complex weather and terrain conditions of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau all the year round. It has rich experience in altitude flight and strong emergency dispatch ability. Since the "5.12" Wenchuan earthquake, the Army Aviation Corps has undertaken the most arduous, urgent and important tasks such as rushing the wounded, transporting materials and sending troops. Created a number of firsts in earthquake relief: the first one dispatched a helicopter to investigate the disaster; The first one arrived in Wenchuan, Maoxian, Yingxiu, Beichuan and other hardest hit areas from the air; The first to deliver food and medicine to the masses; The first to transport the wounded from the disaster area; The first team carrying a communication team flew to Wenchuan; The first to transport communication equipment to the disaster area …


  The earthquake disaster has a high magnitude and a wide affected area, which is extremely unfavorable to flight safety. The affected areas are all in mountainous areas, with small flight space and large airflow in the valley. The officers and men of the Army Aviation Corps braved the dangers and bravely broke into the restricted area. With rich flight experience and excellent flight technology, they successfully completed the task of airlifting relief materials and rushing the wounded in the case of serious landslides and the loss of some navigation signs. As of May 31st, the Army Aviation Corps had flown 1,658 sorties in the disaster area, successfully transported 1,111 wounded people, transferred 1,657 trapped people, delivered 2,119 relief workers and delivered 544.9 tons of materials.

24 books that make you run better, the running list of long-distance running coaches, classics.

Last month, my first decision was to buy two bookshelves.

Recently, the number of books on the shelves is increasing.

In fact, this involves a question of how to read and learn. Of course, the function of books is to spread knowledge, but not every book needs to be read from beginning to end, word by word, nor does it mean that a book is irrelevant to what you are doing, then it is useless.

Some books, which are tools, can guide training or answer questions when needed, but they don’t need to be familiar with them. Some books, theoretical books, can be used to build a personal knowledge system, so you can choose according to your personal needs and read them carefully; Some books, which are popular in knowledge, should be read through in a selective and discriminating way, because the authors have different positions and their opinions may not stand the test. There are also books, which are documentary literature or stories. It is also good to exercise your brain when you are in leisure.

As for the usefulness of books, it is of course a relative concept. What’s more, Zhuangzi has said that what is useless is of great use.

So, I’d like to share with you some books about running that I like very much recently. Everyone can buy their own books according to their own needs.

On New Year’s Eve, add this sentence "You have worked hard"

Tomorrow is the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, which is also called "Little New Year’s Eve" because it is followed by New Year’s Eve. In the whole festival, this day can be said to be the busiest, because all kinds of preparatory activities for the Chinese New Year have to be finished on this day. In many families, the mother is the hardest worker during the Chinese New Year. If you can, take her hand, ask about the hardships she has endured alone, and ask about all her hopes for you … … Appreciate her years of hard work.

Vernacular customs

"Twenty-nine, steamed buns"

There are big and small months in the China lunar calendar. The so-called big month is 30 days, and the small month is only 29 days. Therefore, when the twelfth lunar month is a miscarriage, the twenty-ninth day is the last day of the year, so the twenty-ninth of the twelfth lunar month is New Year’s Eve. Even if it’s not a miscarriage, the next day is New Year’s Eve, so all kinds of preparatory activities for the Chinese New Year should be finished on this day.

In the whole festival, the 29th is the busiest day. In addition to preparing all kinds of food and clothing sacrifices in the New Year Festival, there is also an extremely important activity "going to the grave to ask for ancestors". Therefore, the annual rumor says, "Twenty-ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, please go to the grave and ask your ancestors to make a big contribution."

Folk songs are also called "Twenty-nine, steamed buns". On the 28th, the dough is ready, and the steamed bread will be started on the 29th. In the past, this steamed bread was very exquisite, not casually cooked, but carefully prepared and carefully worked, because the steamed bread was to be exchanged with neighbors on blind dates. Therefore, it must be made beautiful and delicious, which would be face-saving and auspicious.

The 29th of the twelfth lunar month is the day before New Year’s Eve, so it is also called "Little New Year’s Eve". In the old days, people would hold banquets on this day in case the younger generation came to bid farewell to their elders.

Remembering maternal love

Chinese New Year’s Mother

Author/Yan Lianke

I want to go home for the Spring Festival, which is an extraordinary happy event for my mother.

suddenlyIn the meantime, the soldiers have been doing it for fourteen years, and every time they meet the Chinese New Year, they miss going home. Write a letter from home in a hurry and tell my mother that I want to go home for the New Year, as if it were an extraordinary happy event. At this time, mother took the letter and went to find someone to read it. On the way back, everyone said that Lianke was coming back for the New Year, which seemed like an extraordinary happy event. Then, the plans for the Chinese New Year have all changed. More meat should be cut, steamed buns should be steamed, and the stuffing of flat food should be chopped.

When doing these things, my mother’s old illness was made, her eyes were astringent and painful, and all her bones and joints were broken by a knife. But her face is always full of smiles, and she hollows out to the station in the town, looking at the long-distance buses from Luoyang one by one. There are many cars, one after another; There were many people, too, and they crowded down one by one. Finally, she didn’t find her son, so she bowed her head and went home. The setting sun was pressing her back like a red-hot iron plate.

An acquaintance asked where he had gone. She said that the New Year was over, but she forgot to buy a pack of monosodium glutamate. The man also said that monosodium glutamate is not meat, and if it is less, it will be less. Mother said, how can my baby come back for the Spring Festival without MSG?

When I got home, my mother hastily prepared a night meal for people to eat. She was sore and sore, scooped up the meal, pushed the bowl down, and went to bed early. However, I didn’t sleep a wink all night, turning over in bed and waiting for the morning.

It was late again, so I just got up, went to the kitchen and carefully chopped the kitchen knife into a string of disturbing sounds. Chop chop, the chopping board was covered with light color, and my mother went to the town station again, thinking that I lived in Luoyang last night and would take the first bus home this morning … …

One car after another, one after another, guarding the station, waiting for my mother.

suchAfter three dynasties and five days, it really began to be busy. Mother wants to wash vegetables, cook the meat, make hair, clean the house, ask someone to write couplets, and go to the hillside to pick cypress branches. When she really can’t find time, she sends a group of children from her neighbors to wait at the station.

When the children no longer feel fresh, the mother can’t appoint them. The station was much deserted, and suddenly it seemed like a wilderness. But at this time, I took my children and my wife, got off the bus, stepped on the street that was replaced with cement, and excitedly crossed the street and returned home.

When I opened the door, my mother was busy in the kitchen with an apron, or peeling jade and ears in the yard to feed the chickens, or lying on the sewing machine to catch new clothes for people in the past year. No matter what you are busy with, the self-dyed earth-blue apron is always tied around your waist.

At this time, when I saw my wife and children, I was slightly stunned and came to hug her grandson. My face reflected a rare ruddy color, saying that you are busy outside and there are many people on the train. Don’t come back if you don’t come back. Who told you to hurry back for the New Year? Never come back next year!

I took my child and looked around, but I didn’t see my mother pick him up this year.

wifeNot a rural person, she received an education totally different from the rural culture all her life. Even compared with the city people like her, that education was very eccentric, so she was firmly out of tune with the rural culture and customs. Every time I go home, I plan to return to the sixth day, and she is anxious in the second day.

This year’s Spring Festival, I went back alone with my children, and wrote in advance, specifying the date: I will go home on the 30th of the twelfth lunar month, arrive in Luoyang at noon, and arrive in the town at half past noon. Everything is rare on time. When the coach bumped into the town, I asked the child, "What will you do when you see grandma?"

"Let grandma hold it."

"Say what?"

"Say hello to grandma, I miss you."

"What are you talking about?"

"I said that my mother couldn’t come back from work, and my mother asked me to say hello to my grandmother."

"What else?"

"Don’t want grandma’s lucky money for the New Year."

This is the town. As in previous years, there are tobacco and alcohol stalls, fruit stalls and fireworks stalls on both sides of the road in the town. The door of the shop is still open, as if it had not been closed for fourteen years. It’s close to the New Year’s Day, and all the shoppers have bought it, and the sellers are only waiting for the careless person who forgot to buy something to suddenly patronize. The street is a kind of cold and cheerless years ago. I think the adults are busy and the children are busy at home.

I pulled the child out of the car and looked around for it. Apart from the light of the sunset, it was the calmness of the vendors to receive the goods and the lonely chirping of sparrows in the trees at the intersection.

I can’t find my mother.

The child said, "Didn’t you say grandma would meet me at the station?"

I said, "Grandma is tired of taking it, so she won’t come."

The mother is old, her hair is mixed, and she can’t hold the child.

IHolding the child’s hand and carrying the luggage across the street. The luggage is extremely heavy, and it is all new year’s guest goods: wine, cigarettes, fruit candy, cakes, malt extract, canned food and children’s clothes that are small or out of date, but still new and wearable. I expected to meet an acquaintance and give me a lift, but I never met any villagers until I got home.

When I opened the door, my mother was around the apron, stirring the batter under the eaves. The child called grandma as scheduled, and the mother’s hand froze and looked up. When she wanted to laugh, she was positive and asked, are you and the child back? I said there is no holiday in the mother’s factory. The blush on my mother’s face disappeared. She slowly walked down the steps. I thought she was going to hold the baby, but she only came to touch the child’s head and said that she was getting taller and grandma was old, so she couldn’t hold it.

By this time, I really found that my mother was old and her hair was mixed. The child has really grown up, reaching his grandmother’s waist. I was frightened, as if the mother’s aging and the child’s growing up were all of a sudden after the mother spoke. Following my mother, I walked silently into the building, and the seven-step and eight-step road suddenly made me understand that I had finished my life for 33 years.

I said to my mother, "Why don’t you meet us at the station?"

Mother said, "I know when you will get home, so I can cook for you at home on time, so I don’t have to answer it."

As she spoke, the mother leaned close to her grandson and stirred the batter quickly on his head. She asked:

"Stay at home for a few days?"

I said, "After the fifteenth day of the first month."

She said, "Half a month?"

I said, "Sixteen days."

"You have been a soldier for more than ten years, and you have never lived at home for so long." Mother said this, and went to the kitchen. After a short time, she brought two bowls of egg noodle soup for me and my children to eat, and went to Ye Er to make a flat food. Next, I will help my mother paste couplets, insert cypress branches and set off firecrackers … …

The sound of firecrackers announced the official start of the New Year.

Mother is still busy, and the new year’s goods she bought are richer than any other year.

nightI stayed with my mother for the New Year with my sleeping child in my arms. My mother said many things in the village, saying that her daughter was married and her family gave him a TV set. It is said that if someone’s baby is admitted to college, and the family can’t afford it, it will not go up.

Finally, I talked about how seriously my aunt died, and who in the village had cancer just after forty. When I got here, my mother glanced at the portrait of my father on the table. I said, Mom, you are lonely at home alone. You might as well believe in Buddhism, Christianity and superstition. Together with others, you can go up the mountain to find God, burn incense in the temple, not to mention spending money, and it will be better to run back and forth.

Mother said, "I’ve tried everything. Those are all fake. I can’t believe them." Let’s not talk about it any more. The night is deep and dark, so they all sleep quietly.

Tomorrow, I will never get up early, put the first whip, first bring the next good jiaozi to the throne, and then bring another bowl to Niang’s bed. After eating, my mother went to sleep again, until the sun came up to the window, and then she got up and said that it was naive and good, and it was a good year.

On the first day of junior high school, my mother was still very busy, going in and out, constantly giving things I brought back to my neighbors, and when I came back, I kept wrapping a bag of neighbors’ things with my skirt, such as peanuts, walnuts and dried persimmons.

While my mother was away, I watched her New Year’s preparations, which were more abundant than any other year. There were two boxes of steamed buns, five pots of oil goods, and seven pieces of meat from relatives hanging in the air. I have four aunts and three uncles. I forget it. It will take me five to six days to walk through these relatives without stopping.

My mother sent me away and told me not to come back next year. The New Year is more lively outside than at home.

Available atAfter I took my children to the village to see some old people at night, my mother had emptied and filled my bag when I came back.

She said, "You can take the children away tomorrow."

I said, "Go? I took half a month off. "

Mother said you should go, and after the first day, the New Year will be over. Your daughter-in-law is outside, and you are leading the baby back. This is unreasonable. Your baby and your baby’s mother, you are the real family, and you can’t be separated during the New Year!

I said, "Don’t leave until after fifteen."

Mother said, "If you weren’t a dutiful son, you would have gone through fifteen."

Nothing to say all night. Tomorrow, my mother really got up and cooked breakfast, woke me up and the children to eat, and sent us to town with her luggage.

This year, it was my thirty-three Chinese New Year holidays, and I spent the shortest time at home. It was only a full day, and when I left, my mother confessed that I would not come back in the new year, and the New Year was more lively outside than at home.

Regular lottery spots? Guide lottery players to gamble under the formal "banner"

  Cctv newsRecently, the police in Dongguan, Guangdong Province received a report that there was online gambling in regular sports lottery spots. After nearly two months of investigation and evidence collection, the police finally confirmed that the gang headed by Chen Mou Feng had made a mobile phone APP similar to the sports lottery official website under the guise of regular lottery shops to guide people who bought regular lottery tickets to gamble and make profits from it.

  Mr. Wang, who works in Dongguan, is a veteran lottery player. In January of this year, Mr. Wang went to the lottery to buy lottery tickets. The store owner asked him to scan a QR code and recommended an APP to him.

  Mr. Wang, the lottery player: He said it’s formal, and you can also purchase tickets. It’s more convenient online.


  According to the boss’s instructions, Mr. Wang installed this "Red God Sports Lottery" APP on his mobile phone, and the store owner also pulled him into a WeChat group built by the owner. In the group, everyone often talked about how to bet. At first, some people won the prize.

  journalist: Sometimes I win prizes, don’t I? How much did you win?

  Mr. Wang:Just a few hundred, sometimes more than a thousand.

  In the next few months, Mr. Wang accumulated more than 30,000 yuan, losing every time, and many lottery players in the WeChat group also encountered the same situation. Mr. Wang and other lottery players were suspicious, so they reported it to Dongguan police. After receiving the report, Dongguan police found that many lottery shops in Da Lang, Liaobu and Changping were all suspected of committing crimes by the same means.

  Zhou Weichao, Deputy Director of Lincun Police Station of Tangxia Branch of Dongguan Public Security BureauThe QR code is posted in the store. When people come to bet, they generally recommend the people to scan this QR code, and they enter an APP set up by the suspects themselves, and illegally make profits by illegally collecting the lottery tickets of the national sports lottery.

  Through secret investigation, the police verified that the gang headed by the suspect Chen Mou Feng used the privately-run "Red God" and "Xixi" Sports Lottery APP to gamble. The lottery results and odds displayed in the APP were copied from the regular sports lottery website, and the members of the gang also misled the lottery players with "words" on the WeChat group. In less than five months, more than 16,000 lottery players were guided to these APP platforms for gambling.

  Zhou Weichao, Deputy Director of Lincun Police Station of Tangxia Branch of Dongguan Public Security Bureau: As far as we know, it is very common to win or lose 20,000 to 30,000 yuan in half a year.

  On August 26th this year, the task force collected the nets in several lottery shops involved in Liaobu, Da Lang and changping town, arrested 10 suspects, seized a batch of computers, mobile phones and bank cards, and frozen the bank account of Chen Mou Feng for about 16.7 million yuan. The case is currently under trial.

  The police suggested that as early as April 2015, eight ministries and commissions, including the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Public Security, jointly issued an announcement on Internet lottery tickets, and the state explicitly prohibited the sale of Internet lottery tickets. China Welfare Lottery Issuance Management Center and National Sports Lottery Management Center have not authorized any website or institution to conduct online lottery sales, and all online lottery sales are illegal.

Central Bank: In the first quarter, the peak of credit supply of financial institutions, the growth rate of M2 was relatively high.

  Cctv newsAt 15: 00 on April 20th, the People’s Bank of China held a press conference and answered questions on the financial statistics of the first quarter of 2023.

  Ruan Jianhong, director of the Survey and Statistics Department of the People’s Bank of China, said that at the end of March, the balance of M2 was 281.46 trillion yuan, up 12.7% year-on-year, 0.2 percentage points lower than the end of last month and 3 percentage points higher than the same period of last year, and the growth rate of M2 remained at a high level. The balance of M1 was 67.81 trillion yuan, up 5.1% year-on-year, 0.7 percentage points lower than last month and 0.4 percentage points higher than the same period of last year.

  The growth rate of M2 is relatively high, mainly due to the financial system’s efforts to strengthen financial support for the real economy and the corresponding increase in derived currencies. The first quarter is the peak of financial institutions’ credit supply. In the past two years, the new loans in the first quarter accounted for about 40% of the new loans in the whole year. In the first quarter of this year, there were more loans from financial institutions, with various loans increasing by 10.6 trillion yuan, an increase of 2.27 trillion yuan over the same period of last year. At the same time, the bond investment of financial institutions has also increased. In the first quarter, the bond investment of financial institutions increased by 2.42 trillion yuan, 498.6 billion yuan more than the same period of last year. Among them, government bond investment increased by 1.79 trillion yuan, accounting for 74% of the total bond investment increase, which is related to financial institutions’ support for government bond issuance.

  The return of asset management funds to the balance sheet is also an important reason for the rise of M2. Since the second half of last year, the financial market has fluctuated, the risk appetite of the entity sector has declined, the funds of asset management products such as wealth management have been transferred back to the balance sheet, and the bank’s balance sheet has expanded, which has pushed up the growth rate of M2. At the end of March, the assets directly summarized by asset management products totaled 94.7 trillion yuan, down 1.6 trillion yuan from the beginning of the year, with a negative growth rate of 4.2% year-on-year, 8.1 percentage points lower than the same period of last year. If the on-balance sheet and off-balance sheet are combined, the general liquidity of the society can be seen comprehensively. At the end of March, the total liquidity increased by 10% year-on-year, 1.3 percentage points higher than the same period of last year and 2.7 percentage points lower than the growth rate of M2. Overall, the general liquidity growth is relatively stable.

  The growth rate of M1 is relatively low. On the one hand, the macro-economy is still in the recovery stage. In the first quarter, the questionnaire survey of entrepreneurs of the People’s Bank of China showed that the macro-economic heat index of entrepreneurs was 33.8%, up 10.3 percentage points from the previous quarter, but down 1.9 percentage points compared with the same period last year. On the other hand, financial institutions have provided more abundant deposit products, some enterprises have strengthened the management of deposit funds, and their demand deposits have decreased accordingly.

Sean Xiao: I hope my private life is like a sofa. I can post whatever I want on social media.

Sean Xiao was interviewed by Oasis.

       Recently, Sean Xiao accepted an exclusive interview with Oasis. In an exclusive interview, Sean Xiao said that Oasis is a place where you can send whatever you want, and there are not so many rules, and laughed that scenery and food content are most likely to get your own praise.

Sina Entertainment: What is the business frequency of pets and expression packs in the oasis?

Sina Entertainment: Don’t worry about sending other small animals, is the nut girl jealous?

Sean Xiao: No, nuts are their own. No matter how cute other pets are, they are also others’.

Sina Entertainment: How did you choose the head of Oasis?

Sean Xiao: Oh, my God, I think it’s casual. Didn’t I send a photo of my childhood that day, and then I watched everyone P a lot of editions, which I thought was quite cute. I said, why don’t you change the head of the oasis, just change the photo of my childhood. Spongebob: I think it means to be happy every day. I hope everyone can be happy, too.

Sina Entertainment: Why did you think of painting this?

Sean Xiao: At that time, I was just finishing the painting, and then I felt very tired, because it was actually a state of high-intensity continuous rotation. I remember that I went to sleep after finishing the painting, and I slept from the afternoon until about 9: 00 or 10: 00 the next morning. After I got up, I drew a picture of this, which I felt meant that I was revived with blood and ushered in a new stage.

Sina Entertainment: What is the biggest difference between Sean Xiao at work and Sean Xiao in life?

Sean Xiao: I think Sean Xiao at work wants to do everything seriously. This is a point that I can sum up myself. Then the Sean Xiao in life is as comfortable as it is, very casual.

Sina Entertainment: In one word, actor Sean Xiao is _ _ _ _, and Sean Xiao in life is _ _ _ _?

Sean Xiao: Wow, actor Sean Xiao is a gear, and then Sean Xiao in life is a sofa. Gear is to turn, to start energy, to operate energy, you have to let everyone see your energy, and gears are all card by card, which is to be accurate. Although I don’t think I’m as accurate as a gear now, let’s do it according to that goal, and of course we should take the work seriously. If I live, I hope my private life can be like a sofa, so that I can feel comfortable and the people around me can feel comfortable.

Thanks to the increasingly perfect transportation network and overwhelming travel strategies and experience sharing on social platforms, more and more people have broken away from the traditional restrictions of "traveling with a group" and started to explore travel methods that are more suitable for their physique. For example, the main character of college students’ "special forces travel" said to leave; "Bao Baba Bao Ma" chose "study tour" in the hope of entertaining; Urban "migrant workers" pursue a more relaxed life experience at the weekend "Citywalk" and so on.

Different from the old tourist cities or scenic spots, the new tourism mode has also spawned a number of emerging "online celebrity punch points": the barbecue in Zibo, the panda in Chengdu, Wu Kang Road in Shanghai, and the diving grandfather in Tianjin …

There are more and more forms of tourism, and the following questions are constantly emerging: which way is more friendly to the elderly? What are the pit avoidance guides for the "study tour"? What is "reverse tourism" and "colorful tourism"?

"Forgive me for my unrestrained love of traveling all my life", and take you to know something about traveling!
