When Lil Nas X recorded the single "OldTown Road" in a small studio, he never thought that more than 70 million people would use this song to record short videos on TikTok. It is even more unexpected that such a popular way will make him occupy the top position of Billboard Hot 100 for 19 consecutive weeks.

Maybe even TikTok didn’t expect that not only in China, but also in European and American markets, musicians began to use TikTok to promote their songs, and record companies paid more and more attention to this platform. At the same time, as the most popular social platform, TikTok frequently appeared on the front pages of major overseas media, became the number one competitor of overseas Internet giants, and was also targeted by the US Securities and Futures Commission.

ByteDance, an Internet company in China, successfully stirred up the overseas Internet market through TikTok. However, this is only the tip of the overseas music market layout of China Internet giants.

Netease: machine emperor blessing, cast a dark horse in the African music market

Last month, Netease released its financial report for the third quarter, and the revenue of Netease Cloud Music reached a new high. At the same time, BoomPlay, a music streaming service owned by Netease, reached a copyright licensing cooperation with Sony Music. Previously, it reached copyright licensing cooperation with Universal Music and Warner Music Group in November 2018 and March 2019 respectively.

What’s the origin of BoomPlay? In 2017, the intelligent terminal production service provider Chuanyin Holdings and Netease established a joint venture company Chuanyi Internet, and BoomPlay is a music streaming platform for the African market under Chuanyi Internet.

According to MBW, Boompla can be divided into two modes: free mode and paid mode, and paying users spend about $1.50 per month. At present, BoomPlay has covered most of Africa, with 60 million users, an increase of 18 million compared with February this year, and an increase of about 2 million users every month.

According to seven wheat data, this two-year-old music streaming platform ranks in the top five in the music application rankings of Apple stores in many countries/regions in Africa, and ranks in the top three in Nigeria, Ghana and Tanzania.

In March 2019, Boomplay announced the completion of the $20 million Series A financing, which was led by Maixing Investment, followed by Yunshi Capital and other strategic investors. The funds raised in this round will be mainly used for music library expansion, product upgrade and talent introduction to support the team to further consolidate its leading position in the African market.

The development of market economy in 54 countries/regions in Africa is very different. Although sub-Saharan Africa accounts for 15% of the global population, it only accounts for 2% of the global record music market, and its streaming media market is "still in its infancy". However, according to IFPI data, South Africa’s streaming media revenue increased by 334.2% in 2016 and 40.2% in 2017, from 8.4 million US dollars in 2016 to 11.78 million US dollars in 2017. Some media believe that Africa’s music industry is a volcano waiting to erupt.

It is estimated that by 2020, 500 million African citizens will have smartphones. Chuanyi Internet’s other major shareholder, Chuanyin Holdings, is the largest smartphone service provider in Africa, with a market share of about 40%. According to the IDC report, Voice ranked first in the smartphone market in Africa in 2018.

BoomPlay pre-installs the software in the mobile phone due to the advantages of the voice service provider, which not only enhances the competitiveness of the mobile phone, but also brings new users to BoomPlay continuously. Based on Netease’s experience in music streaming media business, with the help of the business advantages of voice transmission in the local market in Africa, the combination of the two makes Boomplay expand rapidly in the African music market.

ByteDance: Short video+streaming media, sweeping overseas music market.

According to CNBC, ByteDance beat Tencent and Baidu in the first half of 2019 and became the second largest digital advertiser in China after Alibaba. Compared with the same period of last year, ByteDance’s advertising revenue in the first half of 2019 increased by 113%, most of which came from its short video platform "Tik Tok" and news information application "Today’s Headlines".

In 2019, TikTok’s overseas version of TikTok achieved amazing growth. It is no exaggeration to say that TikTok has become a global phenomenon. According to the report of Sensor Tower, as of November, TikTok has more than 1 billion users worldwide, with about 800 million active users every month. In June of this year, TikTok users spent a total of $10.8 million, with American users accounting for about 20%. According to foreign media reports, TikTok has made a profit of $175 million on App Store and Google Play Store.

In November 2019, TikTok also launched its own ticketing function-TikTok Tickets in Thailand, which provides tickets discounts and discounts for concerts, movies and other activities. At present, TikTok Tickets has reached cooperation with several entertainment brands in Thailand, such as BEC Tero, Major Cineplex, Neon Festivals and Ticketmelon.
In addition, according to foreign media reports on December 11th, ByteDance quietly launched a new music application Resso in India and Indonesia in May this year. According to Sensor Tower data, about 27,000 users of iOS App Store and Google Play have installed Resso since it was released six months ago. Unlike Spotify, Resso displays real-time lyrics, allows users to comment under songs, generates GIFs and videos accompanied by music, and provides a monthly subscription service at a price of 119 rupees (about 1.70 US dollars).

At present, Resso has obtained the copyright of songs from Indian record companies T-Series and Times Music. However, according to informed sources, Resso has not yet reached a copyright agreement with Warner Music Group, Universal Music Group and Sony Music Entertainment.

Obviously, ByteDance’s traffic play and local operation are quite successful, which even makes overseas Internet giants a little overwhelmed. This China Internet company, which has more than one billion active users in the world, has made a large territory overseas through Tiktok and is attacking the music industry in its own way.

Tencent: shareholding alliance+strategic investment, layout of Southeast Asia and India markets.

In addition to the eye-catching overseas layout of ByteDance, as early as December 2017, Tencent and Tencent Music Entertainment reached a cooperation in the form of stock exchange alliance, and the two companies jointly held 9.1% of the shares of Spotify, becoming its third largest shareholder. At present, Tencent’s acquisition of at least 10% shares in Universal Music is close at hand.

Last month, according to a Bloomberg report, people familiar with the matter said that Tencent planned to acquire a 10% stake in UMG for $3.3 billion, of which about $2 billion might be in the form of equity financing. The report mentioned that Tencent hopes to complete the acquisition in the next few months, and may recruit more minority investors to acquire up to 20% of the shares of Universal Music. These potential investors include Hillhouse Capital and Singapore’s sovereign wealth fund GIC Pte.

Before joining Spotify, Tencent launched its own music platform JOOX in Southeast Asia in 2015. This platform, which is positioned as a multimedia entertainment application, provides a highly localized user interface, and also establishes a team of local experts to monitor and predict the situation of song lists and real-time broadcasting in real time.

According to seven wheat data, JOOX basically occupies the top five positions in the music application rankings of Apple stores in Hong Kong, China, Macau and Southeast Asian countries. JOOX also launched its own service in South Africa in 2017, and ranked fourth in the music application ranking of Apple Store. According to a media report in Bangkok, JOOX currently lives at around 10 million a month.

Last month, JOOX also launched activities such as listening to songs and sharing songs to do tasks, earning gold coins for VIP, obtaining K-song value-added services, and tickets for music activities. In addition, K-Pop fans can also use gold coins to support idols before the MMA awards ceremony and have the opportunity to get tickets for MMA 2019.

In addition, in 2017, the national karaoke under Tencent Music Entertainment also launched an overseas version of WeSing to enter the Southeast Asian market. Hundreds of kols from the Philippines, Thailand and Indonesia have joined WeSing and uploaded thousands of karaoke videos. In July this year, overseas media reported that "WeSing has been the most popular application among similar products in the Philippines for three consecutive months".

In order to meet the needs of diversified experiences and satisfy the interests of music fans, WeSing cooperated with MYX, the music channel of ABS-CBN, a leading media and entertainment group in the Philippines, and its activities included daily song lists provided by MYX and karaoke programs hosted by celebrities.

Similarly, Tencent has not let go of the Indian market, which is still in its infancy but is growing rapidly. In early 2018, Tencent invested $115 million in Gaana, an Indian streaming service. Gaana is currently the largest music streaming platform in India, with more than 125 million active users every month. The platform has more than 45 million songs, including Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Marathi, Kannada, Punjabi, Malayalam, English and other languages, and users can try them out for free. This month, Gaana announced the first lineup of exclusive podcast programs on the platform.

Looking at Tencent’s overseas layout, on the one hand, it constantly adds its own good business, on the other hand, it continues Tencent’s consistent idea of leveraging partners to gain opportunities to enter new markets by means of investment, such as using equity transactions with Universal Music and Spotify to enter the mature European and American music markets.

Internet giants in China are stirring up the global music market.

"Its performance in the United States began to take off, especially for young people. Its growth in India is very rapid. I think it has surpassed Instagram in terms of scale. " Zuckerberg’s conversation inside Facebook was leaked, and this one refers to Tiktok.

Undoubtedly, the rapid popularity of Tiktok has brought a great sense of crisis to overseas giants. At the end of last year, Facebook launched a software called Lasso to benchmark TikTok, but its monthly download was less than 1% of TikTok’s-by the end of June 2019, Lasso, a similar short video software of Facebook, had an average monthly download of 15,000 times, while TikTok’s download in January increased by 6.4 million times. On November 12th, Instagram also released a TikTok-like product called Reels. The same is true of Twitter, but its attempt in the field of short video Vine has failed.

Although TikTok is a social short video application, it has also set off a gust of wind in the overseas music market. In a report of "Top Ten Media and Entertainment Predictions in 2020" published by Forbes, Tiktok added the word "Music" in addition to the prefix of social video. Record companies have incorporated Tiktok into their own marketing centers, and in terms of music copyright fees, the asking price of record companies has also risen with the valuation of Tiktok. At the same time, for the new music streaming platform launched by ByteDance, the parent company of Tiktok, all major record companies also expect to get a piece of it, which is in a game period.

In addition, the rapid development of China’s streaming music market has even played a role in forcing the functional innovation of overseas streaming media platforms. For example, Spotify added a video function Canvas this year, allowing artists to insert short videos into playlists and attach GIFs to song playing pages. This is not unrelated to the popularity of short videos.

At the same time, the scrolling of lyrics with tracks is a basic function in China’s music streaming media platform, but due to copyright restrictions in the United States and Britain, there has been no function of displaying lyrics for a long time. In August of this year, Apple Music launched this feature in IOS13, and soon afterwards, Spotify began to test the launch of this feature. Last month, it was reported by the media that Apple Music applied for a patent for lyrics search technology, and it has been released by the US Patent Office.

At the same time, while expanding their overseas distribution, China’s Internet giants have also forged closer ties with overseas enterprises, feeding back the domestic music market. Two months ago, both Tunecore and CD baby, well-known overseas distribution platforms, announced that they had reached a cooperation with TME to distribute the music of overseas musicians to China. On the other hand, China enterprises are appearing more and more frequently in overseas well-known music media such as MBW and Digital Music News. In various overseas news and reports, there are highlights such as "China is one of the fastest growing regions in the global music market" and "China ranks seventh among the top ten music markets in the world in 2018", which makes the global music market see the latest trends and development potential of China’s music industry.

It can be predicted that with the continuous improvement of the strength of Internet enterprises in China and the further development of the music industry in China, the Internet giants in China will become more and more active on the global stage.

Design of internal control system for government procurement demand management

    ■ Jiang Aihua Chang Yanzhen

The Measures for the Administration of Government Procurement Demand (Caiku [2021] No.22, hereinafter referred to as the Measures) was formally implemented on July 1, 2021. Among them, risk control runs through the whole process of demand management, which provides a guarantee for the smooth formulation of procurement demand and procurement plan.
This paper takes the government procurement demand management procedure as the main line, combs the risk points of the whole process, and hopes to provide reference ideas for relevant departments or units to improve the internal control system of government procurement demand management and further improve the government procurement demand management system.
General process of demand management
The Measures defines government procurement demand management as: "The purchaser organizes activities to determine procurement demand, prepare procurement implementation plan, and implement relevant risk control management." Accordingly, the author divides the government procurement demand management process into four links: determining procurement demand, compiling procurement demand, making procurement implementation plan and controlling risk.
The first step is to determine the purchase demand. Procurement demand is the target that the purchaser needs to purchase and the technical and commercial requirements that he needs to meet in order to achieve the project objectives. Technical requirements are aimed at the function and quality of the procurement target. Business requirements refer to the time, place, financial and service requirements for obtaining the procurement target. Purchasing demand should be carefully determined according to market supply, industrial development, historical purchasing experience and other information. If necessary, it is necessary to carry out demand investigation. According to the "Measures", demand investigation should be carried out for procurement projects in the following four situations: first, procurement projects of goods and services with a price of more than 10 million yuan and procurement projects with a price of more than 30 million yuan; Second, procurement projects involving public interests and high social concern, including public service projects provided by the government to the public; Third, projects with complex technology and strong professionalism, including information construction projects that need to be customized and developed, and projects that purchase imported products; Fourth, other procurement projects that the competent budget unit or purchaser thinks need to carry out demand investigation.
The second step is to prepare the purchase demand. First of all, it should be based on the determined purchasing demand. Secondly, it is necessary to comprehensively consider the project characteristics, actual needs and departmental budget. Finally, we should pay attention to the description of purchasing demand, and the expressions such as words and charts should be accurate and clear.
The third step is to formulate the procurement implementation plan. Procurement implementation plan is the arrangement made by the purchaser to conclude and manage the contract in order to realize the procurement demand. The arrangement for concluding the contract includes the budget (approximate) calculation of the procurement project, the maximum price, the time schedule for carrying out procurement activities, the procurement organization form and the principal-agent arrangement, the division of procurement packages and the subcontracting of contracts, the qualification conditions of suppliers, the procurement method, the scope of competition and the evaluation rules. The contract management arrangement includes contract type, pricing method, main terms of contract text, performance acceptance plan, risk control measures, etc. Usually, according to laws and regulations, government procurement policies and relevant state regulations, combined with the characteristics of procurement demand, financial departments at all levels shall file records in accordance with the principle of simplicity and necessity. In formulating the procurement implementation plan, it is necessary to pay special attention to the risks in the procurement process and contract performance for projects that carry out demand investigation, and put forward targeted risk plans.
The fourth step is to review the key risk items. The Measures clearly stipulate that purchasers should establish a review mechanism to review key risk items in procurement demand management. The review is divided into general review and key review. General review, mainly to review whether the procurement demand is determined and the procurement implementation plan is prepared in accordance with the procedures and contents stipulated in the Measures; Key review refers to non-discriminatory review, competitive review, procurement policy review, performance risk review and other contents that should be reviewed by the purchaser or the competent budget unit on the basis of general review. Projects that carry out demand surveys should be reviewed with emphasis. For projects that fail to pass the examination, the contents of the procurement requirements and procurement implementation plan shall be revised and re-examined.
Main risks in demand management
First, the procurement demand determination link. The risk of determining the demand link is mainly concentrated in the demand survey: first, the projects that need to be investigated according to the regulations have not been investigated; Second, when conducting demand surveys for market participants, the purchasers choose less than three survey objects, which are not representative and violate the provisions of Article 10 of the Measures; Third, according to the actual situation of the procurement project, the demand survey was not carried out in an appropriate way. For example, the opinions of relevant suppliers and experts are not solicited for complex procurement projects, and the opinions of the public are not solicited for public service projects; Fourth, there is no scientific and reasonable price calculation for purchasing demand.
Second, the procurement requirements preparation link. The requirements of the Measures for the preparation of procurement requirements are compliance, completeness and clarity. However, in practice, there may be illegal, incomplete and vague risks in demand preparation, which are mainly reflected in the following four aspects: First, government procurement demand preparation violates laws, regulations and social ethics; Second, the preparation of procurement requirements failed to achieve the specified functions or objectives, and failed to implement the requirements of government procurement policies; Third, the preparation of procurement requirements is incomplete, and the technical and commercial requirements of the procurement target are not specified; Fourth, the procurement demand formulation standards are not compliant, the opinions of relevant suppliers and experts are not solicited, and the factors that may affect suppliers’ quotations and project implementation risks are not fully considered. The indicators are vague and the quantification is unreasonable.
Third, formulate the procurement implementation plan. The risks in the process of making procurement implementation plan can be roughly divided into two categories: procedural risk and content risk.
Procedural risk is mainly the risk in the principal-agent procurement process, that is, the purchaser fails to confirm the procurement requirements formulated by the agency before the procurement activities begin. Content risks mainly include: First, there is no procurement implementation plan; Second, the content of the plan violates the requirements of laws and regulations and does not attach importance to the principles of non-discrimination and competitiveness in procurement. For example, performance requirements are set in violation of the evaluation criteria (suppliers are required to provide samples), or budget standards are exceeded on the grounds of special use, and bulk centralized procurement is avoided.
Fourth, the risk control link. At present, the risk control mechanism of government procurement demand has not yet formed a system, some purchasers’ awareness of risk prevention and control needs to be strengthened, incompatible positions are not set reasonably, and risk prevention and control measures need to be refined. Although the "Measures" clearly put forward to establish a review mechanism, there are still five problems in the specific implementation of some purchasers: First, the review mechanism has not been established according to regulations; Second, there is no review of procurement requirements and procurement implementation plans; Third, the results of the review were shelved, and the procurement items that failed the review were not rectified or re-examined; Fourth, the contents of general review and key review are not comprehensive; Fifth, the demand review post setting does not fully reflect the control mechanism.
Assumption of strengthening internal control of demand management
The fourth chapter of the Measures is "Risk Control", which highlights the importance of internal control system construction in government procurement demand management. According to the process of government procurement demand management and its potential risks, and according to the Measures and the Guiding Opinions on Strengthening the Internal Control Management of Government Procurement Activities (Caiku [2016] No.99, hereinafter referred to as the Guiding Opinions), the author tries to put forward some ideas on building a relatively complete internal control system of government procurement demand management and improving the risk control system of government procurement demand management.
Assumption on internal control system. The Guiding Opinions pointed out that the internal operation and management control system of government procurement should be gradually formed with the main line of "dividing power, setting power in different posts and grading authorization", which is compliant according to law, efficient in operation, controllable in risk and strict in accountability. Based on risk control measures, especially the review mechanism, the author envisages to further build an internal control system, which can be divided into three parts: approval control, performance evaluation and control and division of responsibilities control (Figure 1).
Assumption on the control of division of responsibilities. The control of division of responsibilities is the concrete embodiment of the internal control system of procurement requirements, namely, "exercising power according to different tasks, setting power according to different posts, and grading authorization", and it is also an important measure to contain the risks of procurement requirements management procedures, as shown in Figure 2. It is suggested that units or departments form an internal division of labor system in which internal supervision, procurement and business balance each other, and define institutions, posts, personnel, posts and responsibilities according to administrative functions. Among them, the internal supervision and audit department conducts double examination and approval, and regularly organizes risk assessment and assessment; The procurement department is responsible for formulating all kinds of documents and reports needed for government procurement demand management; The competent business department is responsible for the specific implementation of demand management, organizing demand surveys on the spot, and publicizing documents to the public.
Tentative ideas on examination and approval control. The examination and approval control is mainly designed for the content risks existing in the process of determining the demand, compiling the demand and formulating the procurement implementation plan. It is a further improvement of the examination mechanism to examine whether the content of the procurement demand is legal and compliant (see Table 1, Table 2 and Table 3 for the main points of examination). Specifically, the internal supervision department is responsible for the examination and approval control, ensuring that the requirements are set in line with the requirements of laws and regulations and the actual situation of the project, and the final examination and approval personnel need to sign the examination and approval opinion form to realize the responsibility to the people.
Ideas about performance evaluation and control. Performance evaluation and control is mainly designed to strengthen the application of the results of internal control measures, which is mainly reflected in the following aspects: First, it implements "double linkage", linking the internal control system construction, risk assessment and audit results with the performance evaluation of units and departments and the personal development of employees, and mobilizing the positive initiative of units and employees to participate in the internal control system construction. Second, both material incentives and spiritual incentives are given, and appropriate material rewards and praise are given to project team members who have performed well in risk assessment and audit. The third is to intensify punishment and rectification. The audit department should strictly implement the audit system, earnestly perform its supervisory duties, and promptly notify the rectification and review the non-compliant projects.

Lorelei, he’s on a hot search? What happened to the "life-saving medicine" of "allergic star people"

Source: Jiangsu CDC (jscdcwx)

Spring has come, and "allergic star people" are getting worse.

Some people say, chlorine ray is in his hand, don’t panic!

However …

How did this get on the hot search?

The antihistamine represented by loratadine is a "life-saving medicine" for many allergic people.

So, many people rely on antihistamines for a long time, will there be side effects? What are the precautions?

Who is the "life-saving medicine" chlorine ray?

Loratadine is a commonly used drug to relieve allergic symptoms and one of the representative drugs of antihistamines.

In April and May every year, willow flocks are high, and many people will take loratadine with them in order to relieve allergic symptoms.

Although it is often used, many people don’t know how it works.

This is going to start with "what is the allergy?"

Generally speaking, allergy means that the immune system overreacts and misjudges substances from outside as "harmful substances".

At this time, the immune system will release a substance called "histamine", which will combine with histamine receptors in the body.

Therefore, patients will have respiratory tract, eyes, skin and other symptoms at the same time or successively.

H1 antihistamines represented by loratadine and cetirizine, as the name implies, are drugs that can prevent histamine from binding to its receptor, so that histamine cannot play its role.

Therefore, after taking antihistamines, symptoms such as itchy skin and sneezing will be quickly relieved. Therefore, antihistamines are called "life-saving drugs" by many allergic people.

Can this medicine be taken for a long time?

Some people regard loratadine as a "life-saving artifact all year round". But are there any side effects from long-term use of antihistamines?

In fact, loratadine can not eradicate allergens, and long-term use may lead to some adverse reactions.

side effect

First-generation antihistamines (such as diphenhydramine and bromophenamine) can cause adverse reactions such as drowsiness, fatigue and dizziness. It has anticholinergic effect, which may cause blurred vision, dry eyes, nose and mouth, urinary retention, constipation, etc. The elderly and children should use it with caution.

The second generation antihistamines (such as loratadine and cetirizine) have weak sedative effect, are not easy to cause drowsiness, and have high safety; There is no obvious anticholinergic adverse reaction, so it has no antitussive function.

Third-generation antihistamines (such as levocetirizine hydrochloride and desloratadine) have relatively strong antiallergic effect and relatively few side effects, and some drugs can be used for pregnant and lactating women and children.

Therefore, if you need to take such drugs for a long time, it is recommended to consult a doctor. The following is a summary of medication for reference.

1. Choose drugs carefully

Antihistamines are only suitable for use under the guidance of a doctor to relieve the symptoms caused by allergic diseases. Pregnant and lactating women, as well as the elderly and children, should be cautious when using drugs.

2. Pay attention to the time and dosage of medication.

Even loratadine and cetirizine, which are considered very safe in clinic, should not be taken continuously for more than one month. Because of the individual differences in medication, if the symptoms are not improved, the dosage of the drug should not be increased without authorization, and other drugs or treatment methods should be selected under the guidance of a doctor.

Step 3 don’t drink

Do not drink alcohol while taking antihistamines, otherwise it will increase the burden on the liver and inhibit the central nervous system.

4. Don’t take it before skin test.

Loratadine can prevent or reduce the positive reaction of skin test and affect the results.

5. Beware of the "chain reaction" of drugs

Antifungal drugs and macrolide antibiotics can increase the content of loratadine in blood, and it is easy to aggravate the adverse reactions when combined with antihistamines.

6. Patients with heart disease should pay attention to it

In the case of rational drug use, antihistamines have very little hepatorenal toxicity, but literature shows that some first-generation and second-generation antihistamines may have potential cardiotoxicity. Although rare, people who have heart disease or cardiovascular risk should pay attention when using antihistamines for a long time.

What else can I do to deal with allergies?

In addition to using antihistamines, many "senior patients" said that the best way to deal with it is to wear a mask! Wear long sleeves!

"Allergic star people" can do the following things in their daily life.

1. Protect yourself when going out: Wear a mask, and you can wear a thin coat for fear of allergies in bare arms. When going out, the clothes are inevitably stained with allergens such as pollen and dust outside. I suggest you wash your hair, take a shower and change your clothes when you get home.

2. Clean the nasal cavity every day: people with allergic rhinitis or sensitive to pollen and catkins should clean the nasal cavity with normal saline 2-3 times a day.

3. Do a good job in indoor cleaning: Usually, you can use high-temperature steam cleaning products or mite removal instruments to wash sheets, quilt covers and pillowcases more often.

4. Regular physical exercise: Moderate exercise will stimulate the improvement of immunity, but if the exercise load is too large, it will also reduce immunity, so physical exercise must be gradual, persistent and adequate.

There are always a few allergic people around everyone. Hurry up and forward it to someone you care about ~

From the multidimensional data, we can see that China’s economy is stable and improving, and people’s sense of happiness is constantly improving.

CCTV News:The National Bureau of Statistics released it on April 11th. In March, the national consumer price index CPI rose by 0.1% year-on-year. From 1— On average, in March, CPI was the same as that in the same period of last year.

From a year-on-year perspective, the national consumer price index CPI rose by 0.1% in March, down 0.6 percentage points from the previous month, mainly due to the fall in the prices of food and travel services. The core CPI excluding food and energy prices rose by 0.6% year-on-year, maintaining a moderate increase.

Zhang Xuewu, director of the Analysis and Forecasting Division of the Price Monitoring Center of the National Development and Reform Commission, said: "Among the eight categories of goods and services that constitute CPI, except for the decline in food, transportation and communication prices, the prices of the other six categories have all increased year-on-year, indicating that the current low price operation is structural and phased, and the recovery of consumer demand has not changed."

In addition, in March, with the recovery of industrial production after the holiday, the supply of industrial products was relatively sufficient, and the national industrial producer’s ex-factory price index PPI decreased by 0.1% from the previous month, which was narrower than that of the previous month.

Zhang Xuewu said that in the later period, as China’s economy continues to pick up, the demand for goods and services continues to recover, and the impact of the "tail-up" is gradually weakening, it is expected that prices will pick up moderately.

The accumulated balance of the medical insurance fund is 3.4 trillion yuan, and the insured market is stable.

On the morning of April 11th, the National Medical Insurance Bureau held a regular press conference. The relevant person in charge introduced that in 2023, the total income of the basic medical insurance pooling fund was 2.7 trillion yuan, the total expenditure was 2.2 trillion yuan, and the accumulated balance was 3.4 trillion yuan. The number of participants reached 1.334 billion, the participation rate remained above 95%, and the participation market was stable.

Zhu Yongfeng, deputy director of the Planning, Finance and Regulation Department of the National Medical Insurance Bureau, said: "China’s insurance market is stable, the vast majority of residents have confidence in the basic medical insurance system, and the foundation of the system is solid. By the end of 2023, the number of people participating in basic medical insurance reached 1.334 billion. From the latest situation at the end of March 2024, the scale of residents’ medical insurance participation was basically the same as that of the same period in 2023, and there was no so-called ‘ Surrender tide ’ 。”

In 2023, there were 8.247 billion outpatient and inpatient settlements nationwide, a year-on-year increase of 27%. The scope of medical insurance was further expanded. In 2023 alone, 126 drugs were newly included in the medical insurance catalogue, and medical insurance services were more convenient. During the year, 130 million people were directly settled across provinces.

Long Xuewen, deputy director of the Medical Security Management Center of the National Medical Insurance Bureau, said: "This year, we will expand the scope of inter-provincial direct settlement of networked hospitals for outpatient chronic and special diseases and the scope of direct settlement of diseases, increase the audit of inter-provincial medical expenses of medical insurance agencies in different places, further standardize medical behavior in medical places, and prevent unreasonable medical treatment behavior in the process of medical treatment in different places."

The box office revenue of the national performance market in the first quarter increased by 116.87% year-on-year.

Then pay attention to the performance market. The reporter learned from the China Performance Industry Association that in the first quarter, there were 119,000 commercial performances (excluding entertainment venues) nationwide, with 38,869,900 people watching the performances, and the box office income was 10.8 billion yuan, an increase of 116.87% compared with 2023. The national performance market started well.

Goldman Sachs raised China’s economic growth forecast for the first quarter of this year to 5%.

On April 11th, Goldman Sachs Group, an international investment bank, pointed out in its latest research report that based on the strong performance of China’s manufacturing industry this year, Goldman Sachs raised the growth forecast of China’s economy in the first quarter of this year and the whole year of this year.

China Macroeconomic Research Team of Goldman Sachs Research Department believes that in the first two months of this year, China’s macroeconomic data was better than expected as a whole, and a number of recent data confirmed China’s economic resilience, especially the strong performance of manufacturing industry. Therefore, they raised the growth forecast of China’s economy in the first quarter of this year, and expected China’s economy to grow by 5% year-on-year.

Flash Hui, chief China economist of Goldman Sachs, said: "China’s industrial production data in February was higher than expected, and China’s actual export volume increased significantly in February and January. We saw official figures that the total export volume in February and January increased by 20% year-on-year, and the high-frequency data in March was basically stable."

Looking forward to the whole year of this year, the China Macroeconomic Research Team of Goldman Sachs Research Department believes that there is still room for the China government to exert its strength at the macro-policy level. When necessary, the innovation and coordination of policy tools such as fiscal policy and monetary policy can be strengthened to ensure the stable operation of the macro economy. Goldman Sachs raised China’s economic growth forecast for the whole year to 5% in its research report.

Flash Hui said: "We see that there is a certain reserve on the policy side. For example, if the ultra-long-term special national debt of one trillion yuan is issued, it will have a certain impact on the liquidity between banks. The central bank may use RRR cuts and other liquidity management methods to deal with it. Overall, due to the increase in economic growth in the first quarter, our annual figures (economic growth expectations) rose to 5.0%. "

Promote large-scale equipment renewal and trade-in of consumer goods in various fields.

The State Council Information Office held a policy briefing on April 11th, and relevant officials of the National Development and Reform Commission and other departments introduced that specific implementation plans in various fields are being released and implemented around the Action Plan for Promoting Large-scale Equipment Renewal and Trade-in of Consumer Goods (hereinafter referred to as the Action Plan).

According to the specific objectives of the Action Plan, by 2027, the scale of equipment investment in the fields of industry, agriculture, construction, transportation, education, cultural tourism and medical care will increase by more than 25% compared with 2023; The recycling volume of scrapped cars has doubled compared with 2023, the trading volume of used cars has increased by 45% compared with 2023, and the recycling volume of used household appliances has increased by 30% compared with 2023. The relevant person in charge of the National Development and Reform Commission said that there is huge market space for large-scale equipment renewal and trade-in of consumer goods.

Zhao Chenxi, deputy director of the National Development and Reform Commission, said: "According to estimates by relevant institutions, the annual demand for equipment investment and renewal in key areas such as industry and agriculture in China is more than 5 trillion yuan, and the demand for replacement of automobiles and household appliances is also above one trillion yuan. This action can not only promote consumption, stimulate investment, effectively enhance economic vitality, but also increase advanced production capacity, promote energy conservation and carbon reduction, reduce security risks, and achieve high-quality development. "

It is understood that among the current equipment stock assets in the whole society, the industrial equipment stock assets are about 28 trillion yuan, accounting for over 70%, which is the focus of equipment renewal. On April 9, seven departments, including the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, also released implementation plans to promote the upgrading of equipment in the industrial field.

Shan Zhongde, Vice Minister of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, said: "We will focus on key industries such as petrochemical, steel, nonferrous metals, building materials, machinery, automobiles, light industry, textiles and electronics, and comprehensively promote equipment renewal and technological transformation. By 2027, we will strive to achieve an increase of more than 25% in equipment investment in the industrial sector compared with 2023. "

In response to social concerns about financial support, the relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Finance responded that the central government will guide large-scale equipment renewal from four aspects. At the same time, adhere to the linkage between the central government and local governments to promote the trade-in of durable consumer goods such as automobiles and household appliances.

Fu Jinling, director of the Department of Economic Construction of the Ministry of Finance, said: "The central government has given priority support to promoting the trade-in of automobiles. Give fixed subsidies to consumers who scrap high-emission passenger cars or qualified new energy passenger cars and buy energy-saving or new energy vehicles. Encourage qualified places to co-ordinate the promotion of household appliances and other durable consumer goods, and ensure that ‘ Real money and silver ’ The policy of benefiting the people goes directly to consumers. "

The annual investment scale of equipment in China’s industrial field exceeds 4 trillion yuan, and the demand for renewal continues to grow.

It can be seen that the investment scale of equipment in the industrial field accounts for a relatively large proportion of equipment investment in the whole society. Which equipment is the focus of updating in the next step? What are the specific update directions? Let’s listen to the experts’ interpretation.

In 2023, the national industrial equipment investment scale reached 4.4 trillion yuan, an increase of 8.7%. According to industry experts, many machines and equipment in China rank first in the world. With the continuous advancement of new industrialization, the demand for equipment renewal will be increasing.

Zhang Li, president of China Electronic and Information Industry Development Research Institute, said: "We will promote industries where the overall production equipment such as industrial machinery, agricultural machinery, instruments and meters, construction machinery, light industry, textiles, etc. is at a low level, and eliminate a number of backward and inefficient equipment that has been in service for an extended period. For industries where aviation, photovoltaics, power batteries, biological fermentation and other production equipment are in the middle and high level as a whole, enterprises are encouraged to update a number of advanced equipment with high technology, high efficiency and high reliability, and continuously improve the production efficiency and technical level of the industry. "

According to experts, the large-scale equipment renewal and digital transformation in the industrial field is a major focus. Strive to achieve more than 90% penetration rate of digital R&D design tools for industrial enterprises above designated size and more than 75% numerical control rate of key processes by 2027.

Zhu Min, director of the Institute of Informatization and Industrialization Integration of China ICT Institute, said: "For some traditional industries, it is necessary to speed up the application of general intelligent manufacturing equipment such as CNC machine tools, industrial robots and intelligent detection, and realize quality improvement, cost reduction and efficiency improvement in key production links; On the other hand, for some high-end and advantageous industries, we can accelerate the upgrading of advanced equipment such as intelligent complete sets of equipment and flexible production units, and comprehensively upgrade the entire manufacturing process. "

Chongqing: Shuangqiao successfully crossed chengdu-chongqing railway at the same turn.

On April 10th, a 14,000-ton double swivel bridge across chengdu-chongqing railway was under construction in Diaoyuzui District, dadukou district, Chongqing, which took 110 minutes to realize precise swivel.

Driven by the hydraulic traction system, the double-swing bridge across chengdu-chongqing railway on the No.1 road in Chongqing Fishing Mouth Area rotates in the counterclockwise direction synchronously, realizing the left swing of 90 degrees and the right swing of 88 degrees, accurately butting with the main bridge and successfully crossing chengdu-chongqing railway.

The No.1 road in Fishing Mouth Area spans both Dabin Road and chengdu-chongqing railway. The span bridge is 191 meters long and 34 meters wide, with six lanes in both directions, and the single bridge weighs more than 7,000 tons. It is reported that the bridge is constructed by turning, which can avoid the influence on the normal passage of 34 trains and freight trains in China and Europe every day. At the same time, when it is completed and opened to traffic, it will improve the traffic links between the Diaoyu Peninsula and other areas in Chongqing, greatly reduce the transit time and greatly improve the travel conditions of the residents in the area.

Qinghai: the vast Gobi is now a strange landscape of "colorful quicksand"

Recently, in Haixi Prefecture, Qinghai, the reporter photographed the strange landscape of "colorful quicksand". Let’s follow the camera and have a look.

In the picture, the colorful gravel seems to be a palette of nature and dumped on the vast Gobi, embellishing the original monotonous yellow sand with colorful colors. It is understood that the formation of "colorful quicksand" is inseparable from the unique geological conditions of Saishiteng Mountain. The sandy stones in this Gobi are rich in various mineral components. After a long period of wind and rain erosion and sunshine exposure, they gradually show colorful colors. The long-term grinding of sand and sand not only shapes the unique shape of sand and stone, but also gathers them into a beautiful "quicksand sea", as if it were a flowing ink painting on the earth palette.

Conan’s fan carnival "Detective Conan: Boxing of the Qing Dynasty" went red at the box office.

1905 movie network news One week after its release, the box office approached 200 million yuan, which drew a perfect ending for Conan’s films in Heisei era and set a new benchmark for Conan’s theatrical version of the mainland box office. The popularity of the film in the mainland film market is still going on, and the topic has been fermenting. Fans have been discussing from the latest theatrical version until they talk about "how old Conan is" and "Conan’s cold knowledge of solving crimes". When every theatrical version is released, it will trigger a collective carnival of Conan fans, and this time, the carnival still can’t end for a long time.

 

There is no case that he can’t solve! "Conan took me to increase my knowledge"

 

In addition to the return of the handsome Kidd in Detective Conan: The Boxing of the Qing Dynasty, the sweet and abusive feelings of a new Xiaolan, and the big scene of blowing up Singapore, many viewers have revisited Conan’s crime-solving genius after watching this film. In this film, Conan once again identifies the innocent villain from the tiny details at the critical moment. Many fans began to sum up Conan’s solved cases and all kinds of cold knowledge involved in the process of solving them, such as "the surgeon has an oblique mark on his finger, because the surgeon usually ties a thin thread with the forefinger of both hands during the operation, so the oblique mark will be left at the front end of the forefinger" and "the tannic acid contained in black tea will clean the wound now, so as to neutralize the toxin, which is the best emergency when bitten by sea snakes. …

 

Detective Conan’s solving process is varied. Conan not only knows physical chemistry, but also is proficient in criminal psychology and literal logic. No wonder many fans say "follow Conan to gain knowledge" and "I want to make up Conan’s note-taking knowledge again!"

 

How old is Conan? "He is our eternal youth"

 

Someone asked this question in Weibo, "Conan premiered in 1996. How old is this mysterious pupil this year?" Someone analyzed it very seriously: "If Shinichi was 17 years old in 1996, now he is a 40-year-old uncle in 2019! According to Conan’s age, it should be 30! "

 

Some fans are unwilling to think rationally about Conan’s age: "How old is Conan? This depends on what you think in your heart! Wukong of Dragon Ball, Nobita of Doraemon and Conan, they have been living in their own spatial latitude, and there is no need to calculate according to our world! No need, my answer: forever January 8, 1996! "

 

But there are more fans who agree with the saying, "Conan will always be a first-grade pupil in my heart!" So no matter how old he is, he is my childhood, like my friend, so he is as old as I am in my heart! "

 

Recently, someone wrote in a film review, "In 1998, I first met Conan from TV. At that time, I was 10 years old and Conan was 7 years old; Now, Detective Conan has aired 1000 episodes and shown 23 theatrical editions. I am over 30 years old and Conan is still 7 years old. I hope Conan will never grow up, and he will always be a detective boy who hides behind a voice changer to solve crimes. Looking at him, it seems that my youth will never leave.

 

Indeed, the famous detective Conan series has accompanied us for more than 20 years and gathered too many fans all over the world. Every year, a new theatrical film has become a festival agreed by fans. The 23rd theatrical film Detective Conan: Boxing of the Qing Dynasty is still being shown in China, so fans in China, accompanied by this film, expect that Conan will continue to explore the truth in the adult world with us in the age of peace.

Behind the Blowout of Summer Box Office (I): The Road to Commercialization of Chinese Films


    1905 movie network exclusive feature 5.49 billion! This is the monthly box office of China film market in July. How awesome is this number? Converted into US$ 884 million, the domestic market in the United States grossed US$ 1.09 billion in July, which means that China’s box office in July was equivalent to 81% of that in the United States. In vertical comparison, the box office in the same period last year was 3.693 billion yuan, an increase of 1.8 billion yuan, with an increase rate as high as 48%. Based on this growth rate, next year’s summer box office is expected to reach 8 billion yuan, surpassing the United States just around the corner.

 

    The United States has the largest movie market in the world, but the total box office tends to be stable, and summer vacation is the most profitable period in a year. The last monthly record of China market was 4.134 billion yuan in February 2015, equivalent to 556 million US dollars, surpassing the box office in the United States for the first time. But at that time, China was a strong file because of the Spring Festival file; The same period in the United States is a low season. If we can surpass the United States in the summer file, it is estimated that China can really replace the United States as the world’s largest film market.

 

    In the same period last year, Transformers 4: Extinction and Rebirth and breakup guru — — One big and one small, one outside and one middle dual-core drive are different. July this year is the July of domestic films, and the market share of domestic films accounts for 95.6%. What’s the secret behind this dazzling number and this blowout? Why did the market and audience suddenly get out of control? What is the doorway behind this seemingly lively movie midsummer carnival?

Watching blockbusters is fun: comedy is in power

    There were three phenomenal films in July, namely monster hunt, Pancake Man and The Return of the Great Sage on the Journey to the West. The box office of "monster hunt" exceeded 2 billion, which not only secured the box office champion of Chinese movies in the Mainland, but also launched an impact on the box office champion "Speed and furious 7" (2.424 billion). Pancake Man also broke through 1.1 billion at the box office, successfully entering the top 10 of the mainland box office charts, while The Return of the Great Sage successfully surpassed Kung Fu Panda 2 to become the box office champion of the mainland animation. It is worth mentioning that all three films have got the extension key and are on the way to set a new record.

 

    Looking through the box office rankings of Chinese movies, you will find an interesting phenomenon: six domestic films with box office exceeding 1 billion ("monster hunt" is 2.138 billion.<上映中>1.267 billion, 1.246 billion, 1.127 billion, 1.127 billion.<上映中>(1.169 billion) and "Journey to the West" 1.046 billion are comedies, and two are related to Journey to the West. If the standard is enlarged to 500 million box office Chinese films, the proportion of comedy films and films with strong comedy elements can still account for 50%.

 

    From the data, it is not difficult to see the mainland audience’s love for comedies. Compared with foreign films, all of them have achieved a bumper box office in China, but they are not comedies. The advantage of domestic comedies lies in their grounding. There is only the question of whether the laughter is cold or not, and there is no situation where you can’t get it, and you don’t have to think twice about details such as culture and translation. Both comedies and special effects blockbusters are based on their powerful entertainment functions, which is also the purpose of the vast majority of viewers entering the cinema. In the blockbuster era when entertainment is king, there is nothing wrong with watching movies happily, and no one has the right to blame. However, at present, the mode of domestic commercial films is still in its infancy, which is simple and rude, and the types are still relatively single. The audience stratification is not clear, and small and medium-sized productions and art films cannot find their own audience, which will restrict the comprehensive development of domestic films.

 

    Today, the polarization between comedy films and special effects films is gradually taking shape, and youth films are a spent force. Movies that focus on the youth market, such as Everything is Growing, Why Shengxiao Mo, Tiny Times 4: The End of the Soul, and Gardenia Blossoms, have achieved good box office results in the first week of release, but fans’ impulsive consumption and low reputation are difficult to provide energy for the follow-up income of the films. If the quality of youth films is not improved, they may become sub-box office films in the future market.

Cost-effective calculation: How many billions can a movie like monster hunt make money?


    The most successful movie this summer is monster hunt, but monster hunt is not the movie with the highest return on investment, or even the most profitable movie. The domestic box office revenue is divided by the producer, the cinema and the issuer according to the proportion, and the producer gets 43% of the final box office (the proportion will be slightly adjusted for a single film). According to producer Jiang Zhiqiang, monster hunt invested 350 million yuan. If it includes publicity expenses, the box office must reach the profit and loss line of 810 million, and the producers can barely recover the cost. If it does not, the profit and loss line may be above 900 million. In the latter case, even if the total box office of "monster hunt" reaches 2 billion, the producer’s profit is only about 460 million, and the return on investment is about 110%, which is actually not high.

 

    On the other hand, Pancake Man, which was released at the same time as monster hunt, had a total production and publicity cost of about 50 million, a break-even line of 116 million and a box office of 1 billion, which brought 380 million profits to the producers and a return on investment of 760%. Although monster hunt is slightly better than Pancake Man in terms of the amount of profit, the risks brought by high investment and other uncontrollable factors will multiply, and it is not uncommon for a blockbuster to ruin a production company. For example, the fiasco of Whisperwind sent MGM, which had been in a bleak business for many years, to the auction house, and Final Fantasy: Deep in the Soul also drove Sakaguchi Hironobu and SQUARE off the altar.

 

    "monster hunt" is a gamble, making a Chinese special effects blockbuster is a gamble, and spending 70 million yuan to remake it is a gamble, but its victory is the victory of producer Jiang Zhiqiang. Before the release, the debate was whether the film could recover its cost through box office revenue, and no one dared to say that its box office would fall above 2 billion yuan. Regardless of the cost of investment, even to the point of risking one’s life, while admiring Jiang Zhiqiang’s courage, I have to stop and think: What if monster hunt fails? How many Jiang Zhiqiang can win the bet? Maybe the future market will give the answer.

Anti-Japanese hero Zhou Rongjiu was chased as a martyr …

"The declaration of martyrs for Zhou Rongjiu, a famous anti-Japanese hero from Qinglong Mountain in Naiman Banner, has finally succeeded …" Recently, the People’s Government of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region ratified Zhou Rongjiu as a martyr. The news came that the most exciting person may be Zhao Dianwu, an expert on the war of resistance in Inner Mongolia. Then, what is the story behind the anti-Japanese hero Zhou Rongjiu being chased as a martyr?

Portrait of Zhou Rongjiu

Get acquainted with books and walk in the heart.

"When I was a child, my father often talked about how the Japanese burned and looted in their hometown of Beipiao Daheishan, and how my grandparents survived the bombing by enemy planes and fled their homes to Aohan Banner. This became an unforgettable memory of my childhood. There is also a famous anti-Japanese hero in my hometown-He Sheng, who is a subordinate of the famous anti-Japanese hero Zhou Rongjiu. He Sheng personally shot and killed the Japanese devils in Naiman Banner to defend Rongzhi on the’ Tai Shang Huang’ Mountain. Later, I learned that the barbaric atrocities of the Japanese in my hometown were aimed at shocking the anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians and clearing the anti-Japanese national salvation army led by Zhou Rongjiu, which made me always full of deep respect for Zhou Rongjiu. " Zhao Dianwu told reporters that in 1935, Zhou Rongjiu led his troops to capture the Eight Immortals Tube where the pseudo Naiman Banner was located, which was a sensation. Over the years, authoritative books on the history of anti-Japanese war and revolutionary history have fully affirmed Zhou Rongjiu’s anti-Japanese exploits.

In 2014, Zhao Dianwu had a strong desire after attending the review meeting of the manuscript of the History of the Anti-Japanese War in Inner Mongolia: he had the opportunity to promote the declaration of martyrs for the anti-Japanese hero Zhou Rongjiu. At that time, he contacted some people, but there was no breakthrough, and the matter was put on hold. In 2019, Zhao Dianwu saw an investigation record about Zhou Rongjiu’s sacrifice. Witnesses told him that before he was killed, he lambasted the traitors who rounded him up, and that working for the Japanese was "Chinese without conscience" and "where is the humanity of Chinese". Zhao Dianwu was deeply moved.

"I seem to see the situation before his heroic sacrifice. From an early age, we were taught in the text to say,’ We are Chinese, and we should love our motherland’. We should be like Zhou Rongjiu, an anti-Japanese hero, to be a conscientious Chinese, and we should have the human feelings of Chinese. I can’t wait any longer, taking advantage of the summer vacation to make an investigation in the hometown of anti-Japanese hero Zhou Rongjiu. " Promoting the declaration of martyrs for the anti-Japanese hero Zhou Rongjiu has become Zhao Dianwu’s biggest concern.

When Zhao Dianwu first set foot on the hero’s hometown, he was deeply shocked. Zhou Rongjiu is a hero in the local area, helping the poor and helping the poor, eliminating violence and calming down, and his folk reputation is particularly good. "His family has a earthen fence and two forts, which shows that his family’s economic conditions are very good. If he chooses to ignore the national righteousness, he can live a comfortable life. However, he is a bloody and patriotic Chinese. He is unwilling to be conquered people. He can’t stand the arrogance and cruel rule of the Japanese devils. He angrily rises up and launches armed resistance against Japan, which is deeply admired. " Zhao Dianwu told reporters about his experience of approaching Zhou Rongjiu. Since then, "Zhou Rongjiu" has changed from a name to a real, flesh-and-blood hero in his heart.

The Report of Zhou Rongjiu’s Sacrifice in Frontier News in 1936

Heroes are famous everywhere.

"The process of declaring martyrs is also a process of in-depth study and approaching heroes, and there are many important discoveries and gains. For example, his name used to be called Zhou Rongjiu or Zhou Rongjiu. This time, through the collection of historical materials of the enemy and puppet troops, it was found that the Japanese army called it Zhou Yongjiu at that time, even the Japanese war criminals who participated in the pursuit of him wrote in the later confession materials, showing his prestige and the deep blow to the Japanese aggressors. " Zhao Dianwu said.

Originally known as Zhou Rong, Zhou Rongjiu was born on March 11th, 1896 in a poor peasant family in Zhangzitun, Henan Province, Yamenyingzi (now Qinglong Mountain Town), the first district of Naiman Banner. He is a burly man with extraordinary physical strength. He is willing to endure hardships and act bravely, which not only improves his family, but also makes many friends. In addition, he later developed a courage in his greenwood career in the paddock, which made him famous for his double guns. Therefore, Zhou Rongjiu became a company commander in the Northeast Army. Soon, his unit was reorganized into Fuxin local security team, and he served as the battalion chief.

After the "September 18th Incident", in just a few months, the Northeast fell. Zhou Rongjiu witnessed the Japanese aggressors and traitors bullying and cruel oppression and plunder of Chinese, and was very resentful. He hated the Kuomintang government’s policy of non-resistance, refused to be transferred to Shanhaiguan Pass with the troops, left the troops in anger and returned to his hometown.

In the spring of 1935, Zhou Rongjiu and his second brother, Zhou Gui, secretly killed two Japanese who bullied the people and acted recklessly, knowing that they would be pursued and retaliated, so he decided to rise up.

On the morning of July 23rd, 1935, Zhou Rongjiu led the anti-Manchu Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army to attack the Eight Immortals Tube, where the puppet Naiman Banner Office was located. After more than four hours of bloody fighting, he finally conquered the Eight Immortals Tube and killed the counselor Guan Shan Shou Rongzhi, the instructor Fujikawa Fukuro, and the inspector Nakagen. During the battle, they also captured Sasaki Tadashi Taro, a heinous Japanese agency official, and hung him in the Cross Street Courtyard, where he was executed after holding a mass meeting. Seven Japanese aggressors were killed in this battle, and all the guards of the puppet government and the police surrendered except the escapees, seized a small steel gun and more than 70 long and short guns, and burned the Naiman Banner government office …

Zhou Rongjiu’s Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army captured the Eight Immortals Tube, the political center of Naiman Banner, under the Japanese aggressors’ noses, and executed all the Japanese aggressors in charge. This was the Eight Immortals Tube incident that shocked the headquarters of the Japanese Kwantung Army and the top of the puppet Manchukuo. The Japanese aggressors became angry from embarrassment, regarded Zhou Rongjiu as a menace, mobilized heavy troops to pursue the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, pursued Zhou Rongjiu’s family, and burned down his house in Zhangzi, Henan.

In view of the crazy revenge of the Japanese puppet troops, Zhou Rongjiu led his troops to Beipiao area to join forces with the anti-Japanese armed forces led by Luan Tianlin. Two anti-Japanese teams joined forces in one place, which was a great shock. Later, they joined forces with the volunteers led by the Communist party member senior cadres and fought side by side in the area of Daheishan, dealing a heavy blow to the enemy.

In October 1935, the Japanese aggressors began to launch an "autumn crusade" against the Daheishan region. In dealing with the situation, Zhou Rongjiu adopted guerrilla tactics and constantly dealt a heavy blow to the enemy.

In order to completely destroy Zhou Rongjiu’s anti-Japanese national salvation army, the Japanese invaders set up a crusade team to pursue it, and at the same time strictly ordered all localities to chase and intercept it. The officers and men of the National Salvation Army kept fighting with their pursuers in Naiman, Kulun, Fuxin, Aohan, Arukerqin and Onniut.

On the morning of July 10, 1936, Zhou Rongjiu, who fought in Wulanmutu Mountain in northern Fuxin, was unfortunately surrounded by the enemy. Zhou Rongjiu refused to surrender, swore at the enemy and was shot on the bluestone in the western depression of Wulanmutu. In order to win credit, reward and shock the anti-Japanese forces, the enemy brutally cut off his head and hung it on the willow tree in Ertuban Street for public display. This famous anti-Japanese hero, regarded by the Japanese invaders as "the famous anti-Manchu bandit leader in Jehol Province", shed his last drop of blood to resist foreign aggression.

Archives prove anti-Japanese historical facts

"This matter lasted for two years, but it did not include the previous brewing time." Talking about the process of declaring martyrs for anti-Japanese hero Zhou Rongjiu, Zhao Dianwu told reporters. To declare a martyr, you need first-hand archives that can prove the circumstances of the victim’s sacrifice, and the materials must be excellent. General literature and history materials and historical records cannot be used as evidence.

With the assistance of Shi Zhiban, a cadre in Naiman Banner, Zhao Dianwu made a systematic investigation in Zhou Rongjiu’s hometown, and went to Wulanmutushan, Fuxin, where the hero died, to conduct on-the-spot investigation and learn from the villagers. During the investigation in Naiman Banner, many people didn’t know the whereabouts of Zhou Rongjiu’s descendants, so he had to submit an application for ratification of martyrs to the competent authorities as a citizen of the place where the incident occurred. In addition, he also entrusted friends from all walks of life from Beijing to Shanghai and then to Changchun to look for first-hand information from books and archives institutions like a needle in a haystack. He also struggled to find the hero’s descendants who had long been considered unaccounted for, but unfortunately, when the hero’s only granddaughter, 87-year-old Zhou Yanjun, was found, she was already on her deathbed. Seven days later, Zhou Yanjun died and failed to see the day when she successfully declared a martyr for her grandfather.

"After rigorous textual research and painstaking collection, the materials provided are excellent, passed the examination of Naiman Banner, Tongliao City and Autonomous Region governments and corresponding competent departments, and were put on record by the Department of Veterans Affairs." Zhao Dianwu said.(Text/Northern New Newspaper Zhengbei Net reporter Ma Lixia)(The pictures are all provided by Zhao Dianwu)

Song Joong Ki was changed for the "Korean Restraint Order"? Agency: I haven’t heard of the play.

Recently, Taiwan media revealed that Song Joong Ki’s "The Legend of the New Shu Mountain Swordsman", which was invited by the mainland for 100 million RMB, was ruined due to the "Korean Restriction Order". According to a report by Taiwan Province United News Network on the 5th, on the same day, Blossom Entertainment, a brokerage company owned by Song Joong Ki, came forward to refute the rumor: Blossom said that Song Joong Ki did receive many invitations for mainland works, but no cooperation was confirmed. They had never heard of The Legend of the Swordsman in New Shushan, and did not ask for RMB 100 million.

Recently, cultural exchange or cooperation projects between China and South Korea have been interrupted one after another. Some TV dramas filmed by Korean artists in China were suddenly notified before they were about to air, and some TV dramas originally planned by Korean directors were postponed indefinitely. The market value of Korean entertainment companies has also plummeted. The market value of JYP, CJ, SM and YG has evaporated by a total of 361.5 billion won, or about 2.15 billion yuan.

Since "Descendants of the Sun" became a "national husband" in Asia, Korean star Song Joong Ki has not only been waved by advertisers, but also been strongly invited to star in many TV dramas in China. Earlier, there were rumors that the mainland TV series "The Legend of the Swordsman in the New Shushan Mountain" offered 100 million yuan to invite him to play, but it was ruined because of the recent "Korean restrictions".

On the morning of the 5th, Blossom Entertainment, a company owned by Song Joong Ki, clarified that Song Joong Ki decided not to appear in the play. They had never heard of The Legend of the Swordsman in the New Shushan Mountain, and even did not ask for RMB 100 million: "Song Joong Ki only wants to concentrate on filming at present, and will not accept new works for the time being, which has nothing to do with other events."

Blossom stressed that when Song Joong Ki receives any work, he will put the content of the work first, and will not talk about remuneration first. Song Joong Ki is now concentrating on the film Warship Island, and will not take on other works this year.

In addition, the film "Lies Sicily" co-produced by LEE JOON GI, Han Xing, Ehan Juan and Zhou Dongyu will hold its Beijing premiere on the 7th.
