Douban 9.6 points! Why is Happy Departure so good?

"Re-employment Men’s Team" ensemble "Happy Start Again" scored 9.6 points for Douban, which became a high-profile variety this summer. Analyzing the successful methodology of Happy Departure is closely related to its program positioning, guest lineup and fan interaction. At present, the second season of the program has been decided, but whether such a high score can be continued is also faced with many problems such as program planning and capital control.

In July this year, a variety show called "Happy Start Again" became the biggest surprise since the beginning of the year. 0713, the living variety show, the re-employment men’s group and the poorest variety show became the terms that must be mentioned when talking about this program.

At present, the program has been rated 9.6 points in Douban, with over 110,000 people rating it. It is another high-profile domestic variety show after Extreme Challenge and Detective Star. As a pure domestic original reality show, the program has surpassed Douban’s high-scoring reality show Han Zong’s new journey to the west, which proves the originality of domestic variety shows.

With constant praise and Amway, although the program is not well-known, it has also been broadcasted by Mango tv and Southeast Satellite TV, which also makes the fans of the program a little happy. As a domestic variety show produced by a domestic team, "Happy Departure" has a unique way of success. The audience likes their baggage-free, talented and talented, and is also moved by the friendship accumulated by the six-member group in the program for 15 years …

Re-employment Men’s Team and Happy Start Again

When it comes to the re-employment of the men’s team and Happy Departure, we must first talk about the program Welcome to the Mushroom House, because this is the source of the birth of Happy Departure.

"Welcome to Mushroom House" is a derivative variety specially prepared for "Life I yearn for 6", in which the six brothers (Chen Chusheng, Awakening, Ahu、Yue, Land Rover, Wang Zhengliang and Bird) of the re-employment men’s team were invited in the first and second phases. Although "Welcome to Mushroom House" and "Life I yearn for 6" are both slow variety modes of "Mushroom House", the variety effect of the former is hard for the latter to have.

Whether it’s the "Re-employment Men’s Team" in Welcome to the Mushroom, or the rock version of "Xiao Fang" sung by brothers and the hairstyle of killing Matt in ancient times, the audience will be more curious about them.

Then, fans began to shout online that the program group was "not enough to watch", and Daqian Film, the production team of Welcome to Mushroom House, began to take over the production of their group ensemble "Happy Start Again" and broadcast it live to attract online investment for the program, and finally won two advertising sponsors, namely, Wugu Dojo and RIO.

With a sponsor, the program can be prepared. From planning, shooting to broadcasting, "Happy Start Again" actually took only about two months, and the time was hasty. In addition, due to the lack of budget, the program was "downgraded" and became a B-class variety show, and this program was also dubbed "the poorest variety show in history".

The program is poor, but the content itself still attracts praise from old and new audiences. First, all kinds of jokes from Welcome to the Mushroom are still continued and developed, like many ancient stalks with their own labels, such as Ahu、Yue’s divorce stalk, Bird’s wedding singer stalk, Chen Chusheng’s champion stalk, etc. Wang Zhengliang is called "the king of rotten stalks" by virtue of every unexpected explosion stalk.

△ Bird was dubbed the "wedding singer" because he sang his hottest "Guest" at the Vision Wei wedding.

△ Ahu、Yue has repeatedly searched for hot search due to divorce.

Second, in addition to the game link of "Welcome to Mushroom House", games such as "Connecting Words and Making Sentences" and "123 Woodenhead" are added. Moreover, because this program belongs to their own group ensemble, the brothers are also very open in the program. They not only make their own cue process and add drama, but also take the initiative to find a job in the case of owing food and accommodation for the program group, and make an appointment with their friends’ crew and experience a group performance life.

△ Brothers tease each other, full of drama.

△ Brothers experience group performance life, and write and play "Huluwa" during the break.

At present, the first season of "Happy Start Again" has been broadcast four times. Compared with "Welcome to Mushroom House", the former makes the program more "good-looking" in the later stage, and many expression packs of re-employment men’s teams come from these magical clips.

△ Bird’s big eyes and big face special effects produced in the post-production of the program became the audience’s favorite expression pack.

Of course, the brothers’ transparent thinking also locked their fans from a higher dimension. What my brothers did and said was combined with their own personal experience of "difficult employment". The unpretentious and sincere expression made fans like this group from the bottom of their hearts.

Speaking of this, we must talk about their past, because many of my brothers reached their peak in 2007, and then they encountered various things that led to a decline in heat and no resources to keep exposure. Bird himself took part in Creation Camp a few years ago, competing with a group of players of different ages. They became "paste people" without a program invitation, and they took the initiative to win the group and seriously advertised to the advertisers of the Grain Dojo, so that the mentality of seizing the opportunity and not letting go made the audience feel funny and crying.

The beauty of "Happy Departure" lies in that it not only continues what many viewers like in "Welcome to Mushroom House" into the new program, but also digs more and more soft and beautiful things for brothers.

The Successful Methodology of Happy Start Again

According to the "2021 China Variety Annual Insight Report" released by Yien Data, in 2021, the top three variety types that won the audience’s praise were talk shows, documentaries and interviews, and the reality show variety types were not among them. As a member of the reality show variety show, Happy Departure has received such eye-catching audience feedback, which is closely related to the positioning of the program, guest lineup and program interaction.

Program Orientation: Music+Travel, Outdoor Variety Mode Innovation

Since the re-employed men’s groups are all born in Happy Boys, singing is their hobby and work, and the group comprehensive program is set as outdoor travel variety. However, because the brothers are carrying musical instruments anytime and anywhere, they can sing everywhere, and the program has the characteristic label of "music+travel", which also contributes a lot to the variety itself. Whether it is going to a desert island to survive, or experiencing group performances and chatting at night by the sea, the brothers can hum and sing anytime and anywhere.

At present, there are two common modes of many outdoor variety shows in China. One is to support the whole program by intensive variety shows, and the audience is attracted by such frequent interactions, such as Running, Travel Notes around Youth, and the other is to create something to watch by relying on the conflict of program guests. Flowers and Teenagers belong to this category.

The mode of music+travel is a relatively rare mode at present, but Happy Departure is not the first music+travel reality show in China. Previously, such a mode has been set up in various arts such as City of Meeting, Walking and Singing, but the difference is that these programs emphasize the purpose of song creation, that is, the program will require guests to travel to a certain place and then create related songs, and the purpose of travel designed for music creation is obvious.

It is rare to combine simple music creation, singing and travel reality show like Happy Departure, and its success can also show the audience’s recognition of this model. So far, it has been reported that similar fast girls’ ensemble "Summer when I Want to Sing" and "My Style and My Show" are being prepared, but their broadcast effect remains to be seen.

Guest lineup: multiple labels, with cross-circle effect.

Because the brothers of Happy Departure are all born in the top 13 fast men in 2007, although their popularity is not high at present, they still have a good foundation in certain age groups, especially this group of viewers who have experienced too fast men’s draft, such as Chen Chusheng’s "Did anyone ever tell you" and Ahu、Yue’s "Can you forget", which may be the mobile phone ringtones they have set.

In addition, "Happy Departure" itself takes "Fast Men Reunion Travel" as an important topic, and the repeated historical memories of fast men in the program give people a feeling of returning to the past, which is easy to poke the nostalgic complex of this group of old fans, thus promoting their desire to watch.

However, if we simply capture this audience, "Happy Start Again" may not get such good audience feedback. The key is that they can also be loved by many young people at present. On the one hand, the brothers of the men’s team are "musicians", and their professional ability is very resistant to fighting. They can sing and create at any time in the program ("What a suck" and "I cried and I cried again" are the stalks in the program and the impromptu songs they created), which makes the young audience very recognized for their talents.

△ The "Deserve It" inspired by "Mushroom House" has become the theme song of the program.

On the other hand, some brothers have their own unique skills. For example, when they wake up, they often shoot "The Daily Life of the Old Singer" for other brothers spontaneously, which is dubbed by netizens as "Little Genius of vlog Editing". It is fun and interesting, and is recognized and loved by many young audiences, which also urges them to archaeological their older brothers’ previous programs and understand their past 15 years’ history.

In fact, in the domestic reality show, there are few variety guests who have such cross-circle effect. Comedy variety coffee Jia Ling, Yang Di, and singer variety coffee Charlie are among the better guest types, while the variety guests who are biased stars are generally difficult to get multi-circle recognition in variety shows.

However, after knowing this theory, most variety shows will be added by selecting various types of guests in order to cover all kinds of audience groups. It is not uncommon for singers, comedians, talk show actors and film and television drama actors to gather in one variety show.

Program interaction: emphasize participation and cultivate unique fan feelings

As mentioned above, "Happy Start Again" faced obstacles in budget, advertising sponsorship and other aspects in the early preparation, and this variety show was finally broadcast smoothly, which has an inseparable relationship with the fans of the show. On this basis, "Happy Start Again" conforms to this characteristic and creates a unique strong fan interaction.

In the pilot film of the program, the program group initiated the fan interaction of the group name, and several brothers published a solicitation in Weibo, asking netizens to offer suggestions and think of a name for the program, which also led to the circle of funny names such as "Nobody cares", "No more crazy and older" and "Brothers who behave badly" in the program. Fan interaction doesn’t end like this. The program group also plays this part of the clip, so fans who are selected by their brothers to read their names will have more satisfaction.

Not only the name of the program, but also the unique interaction between "dining tables" (the fans’ names of brothers) and their brothers, as well as the Amway of the Grain Dojo. The program was recorded and broadcast because of advertising sponsorship. Both the brothers of the men’s team and the audience of the program are very grateful to it. The brothers sang for the Grain Dojo in the program, and the fans bought instant noodles in the Grain Dojo in their daily lives. I hope they will continue to sponsor the second season of Happy Departure. To some extent, this is also a way to strengthen the relationship between fans and brothers. When guests and fans see each other’s efforts and intentions, it is easier to empathize with each other.

In fact, fans’ participation in the recording of official programs is not unique to Happy Start Again. For example, Running and Happy Camp have had interactive design of related links, thus mobilizing fans to be active and increasing the degree of topic. Different from these programs, the interaction of Happy Go Again is based on the unique relationship established by the program group, guests and fans, because no matter which side knows more or less the hardships of program preparation and investment promotion, they also understand that it is not easy to broadcast variety shows. The interactive design of the group name determined by the audience can show that the program group is interested in cultivating this special audience feeling.

Can the high score of "Happy Start Again" be continued?

According to Weibo released by Zhao Linlin, the producer of Happy Go Again, Happy Go Again has already started to prepare for the second season. At present, the high score of 9.6 in Happy Go Again has hit a large number of domestic variety shows, but it will take time to consider whether this popularity can continue into the next season or even more similar programs.

On the one hand, producer Zhao Linlin indicated that the second season show will still retain the favorite men’s team brothers, but the new problem is whether the brothers can still have the mentality of the first season after the success of Happy Departure. Brothers like Ahu、Yue, Bird and Lu Hu are frequently invited by the show. Excessive consumption of the re-employment men’s team may also make "Happy Departure 2" enter the dilemma of boring guest output.

On the other hand, the variety show "Happy Departure" may also face the dilemma of comprehensive N generations. With the high voice of the audience and the soaring word of mouth, the influence of advertisers and other capital on the production of the program may gradually show up. In the first season, fans are struggling to get advertisements, but in the following seasons, it is easy to turn into an embarrassing situation in which the program is full of advertisements. How to debug the collocation of advertisements and program content is an important topic that Happy Departure will face in the future.

And the program "Happy Start Again" itself also has a fatal weakness, that is, the program planning is not strong. Many viewers said that the success of the first season was almost entirely due to the chemical reaction of the brothers of the men’s team, and the design of the variety show was not brilliant, such as guessing the lyrics and 123 Woodenhead, which were very traditional games without their own characteristics. However, the director of the program group also said that he would plan the second season’s programs well and strive to "empower artists, not consume them".

The first season of "Happy Departure" is coming to an end, but the audience’s love and affection for the re-employment men’s team will not end, and the high score of "Happy Departure" also provides practitioners with various production considerations. Domestic variety shows are not without originality, and they can still find their own way to success as long as they are careful.

  

Deeply understand and grasp the practical characteristics of the supreme leader’s cultural thought

  Author: Cao Dongbo (director of the Propaganda Department of the Party Committee of Shanghai University of Finance and Economics, professor of Marxist College, distinguished researcher of Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought Research Center of Shanghai Supreme Leader New Era) Lv Xiaoning (assistant researcher of Chinese Modernization Research Institute of Shanghai University of Finance and Economics)

  Propaganda and ideological and cultural work is related to the future and destiny of the party, the long-term stability of the country, the national cohesion and centripetal force, and it is an extremely important work. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core has attached great importance to the propaganda of ideological and cultural work. The new ideas, new viewpoints and new conclusions of the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader in the cultural construction of the new era are very rich in connotation and profound in exposition, which constitute the cultural chapter of Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought of the Supreme Leader in the new era and form the cultural thought of the Supreme Leader. This important thought profoundly answers fundamental questions such as what flag to raise, what road to take, what principles to adhere to and what goals to achieve in China’s cultural construction in the new era, provides a scientific action guide for doing a good job in propaganda and ideological and cultural work in the new era and new journey and shouldering a new cultural mission, and contributes China’s wisdom to creating a new form of human civilization and leading the development and progress of world civilization. In the new era and new journey, it is an inevitable requirement to deeply understand and grasp the practical principles, practical experience and practical direction of the supreme leader’s cultural thought, and it is also an important prerequisite for opening up a new situation and new atmosphere in cultural construction in the new era.

  As an important part of Marxism, Marxist cultural theory is formed by classical writers on the basis of in-depth investigation of the practical process of social material production. Marxist cultural theory holds that social and cultural relations exist in the dialectical movement of productive forces and production relations, economic base and superstructure, and are created by the people in material production and life practice. At the same time, once social culture is formed, it will have a profound impact on people’s practical activities. Advanced social culture promotes the progress and development of productive forces, while backward social culture hinders the progress and development of productive forces, that is, social culture reacts on social material production practice, thus showing the powerful material power of social culture. In addition, Marxist cultural theory profoundly explains that in capitalist society, the material production process led by the bourgeoisie determines the cultural development direction of capitalist society. The exploitation and oppression of the proletariat by the bourgeoisie not only stays at the material level such as forced labor and grabbing surplus value, but also rises to the spiritual level such as cultural control and capital logic output, thus consolidating the bourgeois dominance. Marxist cultural theory is of great practical significance for us to analyze the internal contradictions and new forms of capitalist culture, grasp the development law of contemporary socialist culture, and understand the rich connotation and practical orientation of the supreme leader’s cultural thought.

  Practicality, as one of the basic characteristics of Marxism, is the source of power for Marxism to maintain its vitality and vitality forever. Since its establishment, the Communist Party of China (CPC) has persisted in applying the Marxist concept of practice, promoted the modernization of Marxism in China, and continuously promoted theoretical innovation and practical innovation. After the Opium War, under the impact of the western powers, the country was humiliated, the people were in trouble and civilization was dusty. In the years of tenacious struggle, China’s excellent traditional culture has given the whole nation strong spiritual encouragement and ideological nourishment, and its firm belief in Chinese civilization has forged the firm confidence of Chinese sons and daughters that "China will not die". Under the strong leadership of the Party, we persisted in combining the basic principles of Marxism with the concrete reality of China revolution, explored the road of China revolution, established People’s Republic of China (PRC), established the socialist system, and embarked on the road of Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s development, and Chinese civilization ushered in the dawn of vigorous rejuvenation. Socialism with Chinese characteristics has entered a new era. The CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core insists on implementing and developing Marxist cultural theory in practice. Starting from the domestic economic and social development situation, it puts cultural construction in the key position of governing the country, respects the people’s initiative, unites and leads the broad masses of the people to prosper the advanced socialist culture in the great practice of building a powerful socialist country, and effectively attacks the wrong argument of "clash of civilizations" in the West with the practical action of "learning from each other".

  The proposal and practice of "two combinations" is a major innovation in the methodology of Marxist cultural theory, and its fundamental purpose is to enhance the practical application of the basic principles of Marxism in China. The historical practice of China’s revolution and construction has fully proved that "the first combination" is an important choice that meets the needs of China’s development and the common interests of all the people. The "second combination" inherits and develops the value core of the "first combination", insists on the concrete analysis of specific problems, and looks at problems from the perspective of development and practice, while ensuring the fundamental guiding position of Marxism in China, it creatively puts forward that "the basic principles of Marxism" and "Chinese excellent traditional culture" should be included in the scope of combination, which greatly expands the cultural interpretation space of the modernization of Marxism and greatly promotes the creative transformation of Chinese excellent traditional culture.

  Culture is the product of historical development, and historical practice makes cultural accumulation. Since its founding, the Communist Party of China (CPC) has always taken the promotion of advanced culture as its responsibility, insisted on being a firm disseminator of Marxist cultural theory and a faithful inheritor of Chinese excellent traditional culture in the great historical process of leading the broad masses of people to carry out revolution, construction and reform, and formed a series of original cultural work methods and ideas that meet the needs of social and cultural development in China and are rich in distinctive China characteristics. During the period of the new-democratic revolution, our party deeply realized how important the revolutionary cultural movement is to the revolutionary practical movement, and proposed to develop a national, scientific and popular new-democratic culture, making it a powerful ideological weapon to meet the needs of the Chinese nation’s own revolution and highlight the fundamental interests of the people. During the period of socialist revolution and construction, our party insisted on the perspective of historical materialism, made an accurate judgment that "with the arrival of the climax of economic construction, there will inevitably be a climax of cultural construction", and put forward the socialist cultural construction policy of "letting a hundred flowers blossom and a hundred schools of thought contend" and "making the past serve the present and making foreign things serve China" according to the urgent requirements of the country’s rapid economic and cultural development. In the new era of reform, opening up and socialist modernization, China’s cultural construction is facing "going out" and "With the double opportunity of "introduction", our party has made overall plans for the construction of material civilization and spiritual civilization, further promoted the reform of the cultural system, established a coordinated public cultural service system between urban and rural areas, and built a vigorous and orderly consumer market for cultural products.

  Socialism with Chinese characteristics entered a new era. The CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core anchored the grand goal of realizing the Chinese nation’s great rejuvenation of the Chinese dream, deeply summed up and learned the practical experience of the Communist Party of China (CPC)’s leadership in carrying out propaganda and ideological and cultural work over the past century, and in the great practice of promoting China’s economic construction, political construction, cultural construction, social construction and ecological civilization construction as a whole, sought for the starting point and breakthrough of cultural construction in the new era, and constantly improved the support and contribution of cultural construction to economic construction, political construction, social construction and ecological civilization construction. Culture is the soul of a country and a nation. Without a high degree of cultural self-confidence and cultural prosperity, there will be no great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. Facing the increasingly severe struggle situation in the ideological field, the Supreme Leader General Secretary stressed that ideological work should not be relaxed or weakened for a moment. Under the guidance of the supreme leader’s cultural thought, we adhere to the guiding position of Marxism in the ideological field, adhere to the Party’s leadership over ideological work, carry forward the spiritual pedigree of the Communist Party of China (CPC) people with the great spirit of party building as the source, cultivate and practice socialist core values, and carry out cyberspace governance according to law. Facing the people’s growing cultural needs, the Supreme Leader General Secretary emphasized that material wealth and spiritual wealth are the fundamental requirements of socialist modernization. Socialism with Chinese characteristics is a great cause of all-round development and all-round progress. Without the prosperity and development of socialist culture, there will be no socialist modernization. Unde that guidance of the supreme leader’s cultural thought,We fully grasp the dialectical relationship between material civilization and spiritual civilization, raise cultural construction to a new historical height, rank cultural self-confidence with road self-confidence, theoretical self-confidence and institutional self-confidence as Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s "four self-confidences", regard the prosperity and development of socialist cultural undertakings and cultural industries as the basic ways to meet people’s spiritual and cultural needs and safeguard people’s cultural rights and interests, promote the creative transformation and innovative development of Chinese excellent traditional culture, inherit revolutionary culture, develop advanced socialist culture, and constantly meet people’s spiritual and cultural needs. In the face of the complicated international situation, the Supreme Leader General Secretary stressed that we must persist in thinking of the world. Under the guidance of the supreme leader’s cultural thought, we will vigorously promote the common values of all mankind, launch a global civilization initiative, actively build an international cooperation platform to promote equal exchanges between civilizations of all countries, pay attention to promoting exchanges and mutual learning among civilizations, inject ideological and cultural strength into the prosperity of the world’s civilized gardens, seek wisdom and draw nutrition from different civilizations, and contribute to the world China wisdom and China’s plan to meet the common challenges of mankind.

  The supreme leader’s cultural thought not only has the innovation and breakthrough in cultural theory, but also has the deployment requirements of cultural work layout, which is the theoretical condensation and sublimation expression of the concrete practice of socialist cultural construction in the new era. Practice shows that the cultural thought of the supreme leader advances in the logic of historical progress and develops in the trend of the times, which is an open, scientific and systematic ideological system. This important thought is based on the times and leads the times, comes from practice and guides practice, and will be enriched and developed with the development of the times and the deepening of practice, guiding us to create culture in practice, realizing cultural progress in historical progress, continuing the historical context and writing contemporary Chinese chapters with the righteousness and spirit of keeping integrity and innovation.

  three

  The supreme leader’s cultural thought is clear and practical. On the basis of scientifically judging the new situation and new tasks faced by China’s propaganda and ideological and cultural work in the new era and new journey, he puts forward the requirements of "seven efforts", clarifies the road map and task book of cultural construction in the new era, and provides a powerful ideological weapon and scientific action guide for doing a good job in propaganda and ideological and cultural work in the new era and new journey and shouldering new cultural missions. In the new era and new journey, we must consciously adhere to the cultural thought of the supreme leader, promote cultural self-confidence and self-improvement, and create new glory of socialist culture.

  First, we should focus on the primary political task of arming the whole party and educating the people with the party’s innovative theory, and earnestly enhance our sense of responsibility and mission to do a good job in propaganda and ideological and cultural work in the new era and new journey. "Once the theory has mastered the masses, it will also become a material force." The cultural thought of the supreme leader enriches and develops Marxist cultural theory, which not only has profound viewpoints, strategic plans and scientific arrangements, but also teaches us correct positions and useful methods. It is necessary to comprehensively study and understand, not only accurately understand the important concepts and formulations, but also strengthen the systematic and holistic grasp, thoroughly understand the basic spirit, understand the core essence, clarify the practical requirements, achieve some understanding and mastery, and effectively implement this important idea in all aspects and the whole process of propaganda and ideological and cultural work.

  Second, we should promote the prosperity and development of cultural undertakings and cultural industries, and solidly promote the cultural construction in Socialism with Chinese characteristics. To study and implement the cultural thought of the Supreme Leader, we should adhere to the historical materialism, carry forward the historical consciousness and initiative spirit, constantly inspire the people’s enthusiasm for unity and struggle, apply the cultural thought of the Supreme Leader to the implementation of the strategic deployment of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China on cultural construction, and accurately implement all the task requirements with the spirit of nailing nails. Be good at using this important thought to solve various contradictions in the field of propaganda, ideological and cultural work, and consolidate and expand the mainstream ideological public opinion in the new era of forging ahead. Taking efforts to promote the prosperity and development of cultural undertakings and cultural industries as an opportunity, we will continue to provide high-quality cultural products for the people, cultivate economic growth points of cultural industries, promote economic development with cultural construction, and unite powerful practical forces to transform the objective world. Promote the creative transformation and innovative development of Chinese excellent traditional culture, vigorously carry forward revolutionary culture, develop advanced socialist culture, better promote cultural prosperity and build a cultural power.

  Third, we should tell the story of China well and enhance the influence of Chinese civilization. The General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out: "Chinese civilization has been famous for its openness and tolerance since ancient times, and it has constantly renewed its vitality in exchanges and mutual learning with other civilizations." To study and implement the supreme leader’s cultural thought, we must persist in promoting the concept of civilization of equality, mutual learning, dialogue and tolerance, unblock the international communication channels of Chinese civilization, make good use of the multilateral cooperation platform represented by the "Belt and Road" construction, fully demonstrate the outstanding characteristics of Chinese civilization, such as continuity, innovation, unity, inclusiveness and peace, to all countries in the world in international economic and trade cooperation, and constantly optimize the international communication discourse so that the people of the world can "understand China". At the same time, we should draw on the valuable achievements of the evolution of civilizations in various countries in the world, actively launch a global civilization initiative, take the initiative to respond to the common problems in the development of human civilization, persist in transcending the gap between civilizations, the conflict of civilizations, and the coexistence of civilizations, so as to show China’s image as a great power in practical actions.

  Thought keeps pace with the times, and culture is passed down from generation to generation. The cultural thought of the supreme leader was generated in the concrete practice of Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s cultural construction in the new era, and will be further enriched and developed in the great practice of building a socialist modern power in an all-round way. In the new era and new journey, the construction of socialist culture has a long way to go. We must always adhere to the guidance of the cultural thought of the supreme leader, do a good job in propaganda and ideological work, actively respond to strategic opportunities and risk challenges from the social and cultural fields, and consciously shoulder new cultural missions, so as to provide strong ideological guarantee, strong spiritual strength and favorable cultural conditions for building a socialist modern country in an all-round way and promoting the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation in an all-round way.

The mystery of Foxconn’s "Ten Jumps": Employees’ overtime income accounts for half of their income.

  CCTV survey reveals the reasons for Foxconn’s frequent jumping off buildings: collective anxiety in the social transition period, the cruel survival rules of enterprises, the lack of social and cultural support, and various realistic contradictions breed and gather in this most typical foundry enterprise until a nuclear fusion is triggered.

  According to CCTV’s "Economic Half-hour" report: In the early morning of May 21st, another Foxconn employee jumped to his death. Before him, nine people had jumped from the building, resulting in seven deaths and two injuries. It may be an accident for an employee to jump off a building, but in less than half a year, Foxconn has had ten consecutive jumps. Will there be any connection and common ground behind this, which will inevitably make the outside world have doubts about this enterprise.

  Why do employees jump off buildings so frequently in this company? What secrets are hidden in Foxconn’s research? Let’s take a look at the reporter’s investigation.

  Different people will take different approaches when facing problems. Some people have stronger psychological quality, so they will handle it properly, while others are psychologically fragile, so they will choose a more extreme way, but these young lives are fixed in their youth, which makes people feel sad. In the face of successive incidents of jumping off buildings, what kind of responsibility should Foxconn Group, as a party, take? Can we prevent similar incidents from happening again?

  Happy 24-year-old boy dreams of Foxconn

  On May 6, 2010, Lu Xin jumped off the balcony. Lu Xin, 24, joined Foxconn in August 2009 with a monthly salary of 2,000 yuan. This boy, who likes music and has participated in the Hunan Happy Boys Competition, dreams of becoming a singer.

  In the dormitory rented by Lu Xin outside the factory, the reporter found several payrolls: in December 2009, 2781 yuan; 2240 yuan in January 2010; March 2010, 3541 yuan. Lu Xin’s basic salary is 2,000 yuan, plus overtime pay, he will earn 2,000 yuan or 3,000 yuan a month. During his eight months in office, he sent 13,000 yuan to his family. "I remember when I paid my salary for the first time, he seemed to have paid 1,800 yuan or 1,900 yuan. He sent 1,500 yuan back, and I felt great." The worker said.

  In Lu Xinsheng’s former blog, he left a paragraph like this: "I came to the company for money, but it was a mistake. I didn’t go into research and development, but I came to manufacturing. The money was still quite large, but I was wasting my life. I really regret it. Now my first step in life is wrong and I am very confused. "

  Lens 2:

  Thousands of people still flock to Foxconn every day

  At Foxconn’s perennial recruitment point for new employees, thousands of people have gathered here since 6: 00 in the morning. Although there have been nine consecutive incidents of jumping off buildings in five months, it has not stopped these young people from flocking here from all directions.

  These young people come from all over the country, and most of them come here to apply under the recommendation of their friends. The job they apply for is just an ordinary job that just meets the minimum wage in 900 yuan every month. The applicant said: "With food and shelter, and labor law as a guarantee, I will choose to work overtime. Rural people are doing farm work at home, and there is no problem for 12 hours. "

  The staff at the recruitment point said that two or three thousand people can be recruited here every day, and at most it has reached tens of thousands. In Foxconn, more than 85% of migrant workers are born after 1980s and 1990s. Wan Hongfei, senior deputy manager of Foxconn Longhua Park, said that the mobility is relatively high now, especially for grass-roots employees. Statistics show that in 2004 and 2005, there was only 2%~3% loss per month, but now it has increased to 4%~5%.

  Lens 3:

  You have to work overtime if you want to earn more money.

  The most common process in the production line is pasting adhesive tape: pasting 18 pieces of adhesive tape on the main board, which can be completed in two minutes. Each worker has to complete 220 such motherboards every day, and they spend 10 hours every day in such simple and repetitive work.

  Every worker repeats the same action every day. These workers work eight hours a day and only get the basic salary in 900 yuan every month. If they want to earn more money, they have to work overtime, and they have to give up their leisure time and do simple and repetitive work.

  Foxconn employees said that they work overtime for two hours every day. If you want to work, you will definitely like to work extra hours and earn more money.

  Tong Xiaoyan, a Foxconn employee, said that half of the money earned is overtime.

  Tong Xiaoyan said that after working for a long time, she will feel tired. She is optimistic and cheerful. When she encounters troubles or is too tired at work, she will listen to music or chat with others to relax herself. Several recent incidents of jumping off buildings have made them feel sorry and don’t understand.

  Cruel enterprise mechanism is easy to cause psychological problems.

  Liu Kaiming, director of the Shenzhen Institute of Contemporary Social Observation, said: "Without a suitable mechanism to ease this problem, changing yourself from a robot and a money-making tool to a person will lead to psychological and physical problems and extreme events."

  "To some extent, workers were held hostage by machines and turned into machines. If a worker does a simple and repetitive job for 10 hours, we know that people will have worldly desires. Once worldly desires is suppressed, we will have a high degree of psychological and physical tension, and finally there will be conflicts. "

  As the world’s largest OEM, Foxconn has increased its number of employees from 9,000 in 1996 to 748,000 in 2009, and in 2010, it reached 800,000 employees. As the king of global OEM, the creator of their wealth is precisely these 800 thousand young people.

  Liu Kaiming believes that after these young people took the first step into the society, they met a wall head-on. "And all our mechanisms exclude them. All our voices tell them that you are working and you don’t belong here. All the information is unfavorable to them. Everything is integrated, which intensifies their dilemma. When this contradiction can’t be solved and overcome, then people who are a little fragile will choose the form of suicide to overcome this difficulty. " Liu Kaiming said.

  Liu Kaiming, director of the Shenzhen Institute of Contemporary Social Observation, said: "It is difficult for us to say who is the last straw to crush them. There are complicated reasons, and there may be various reasons. But I think we can’t blame them for the reasons, because many of them are between the ages of 16 and 19, and they have not yet matured their minds, so they stepped into this society prematurely and assumed the heavy responsibility of creating wealth for our country, enterprises and large enterprises like Foxconn. So I think that our society should bear the greatest responsibility and our government should bear the most responsibility. "

  tag

  If we look at the incident of Foxconn’s ten consecutive jumps in isolation, it will easily be attributed to the individual employees. After all, compared with the total number of hundreds of thousands of employees, ten people are insignificant figures. However, when these ten young people leap, there are actually many invisible pushers behind them. The heavy burden borne by these young people in Foxconn is actually a price paid by the economy and society. To help them unload these burdens, the responsibility of enterprises cannot be shirked, and the government and society should also do their part. If we ignore these intangible social costs, no economic development can return to the real happiness index.

The initial heart of the new era "Awesome, My Country"

Editor’s note:

  The documentary film Awesome, My Country records the super projects such as China Bridge, China Road, China Car, China Port and China Net, and shows the landmark scientific research achievements that lead people to a new era, such as the largest radio telescope FAST in human history, the world’s largest offshore drilling platform "Blue Whale 2", the research and development of maglev trains, and 5G technology.

  The young post-90s and post-00s, as a "powerful generation", will witness and build a socialist modernization power in the next 30 years. "China Youth Daily" invited a group of college students to write about the feelings of watching "Awesome, My Country" and write down their initial feelings in the new era.

  (This edition is supported by China University Media Alliance)

  ————————————–

Faster, how can I slow down?

Xu Jingran, 2017 graduate student of Chinese Academy of Sciences.

  "What can I do?" I often ask myself this question, but after I went to college, the frequency of asking myself increased again. When watching "Awesome, My Country" in the cinema, I was half proud and half nervous, as if I had pulled out some thoughts, lowered my head from a height, leaned over to examine and even asked myself: "What can I do? What can I do for this country and society? "

  The film shows China’s brilliant achievements in scientific and technological development, economic construction, national defense construction, green environmental protection, poverty alleviation, internal affairs and diplomacy since the 18th CPC National Congress. For me, the most inspiring thing in the film is the display of a series of major construction projects and scientific and technological achievements in China in recent years: the world’s largest radio astronomical telescope "FAST", the largest offshore drilling platform "Blue Whale 2", the most advanced quantum communication satellite "Mozi", the high-speed railway "Fuxing" with a speed of up to 350 kilometers per hour, and Airbus. …

  This makes me feel excited and scared: I am excited to board a great ship of the times, but I am afraid whether I can make a little contribution to this great ship. No one asked me to do anything, but I think it is a kind of responsibility, a kind of self-questioning, self-encouragement, self-alarm and self-reflection derived from "being proud".

  Soon after school started, I got together with a senior sister. When chatting, she brushed the mobile phone news, and her expression suddenly collapsed. "Teacher Nan Rendong died, and I interviewed him." The atmosphere suddenly cooled down and we ended the party hastily. At that time, I still couldn’t understand the complicated feelings of my senior sisters. These scientists seemed to be very far away from me, just a name.

  Later, I visited the two bombs and one satellite memorial hall and the innovation exhibition of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. I listened to stories such as "Mr. Turbulence can’t get away". I watched the WeChat public platform "Voice of Chinese Academy of Sciences" and pushed the latest scientific research achievements of scientists and technicians every day: the dark matter particle detection satellite "Wukong", the world’s first cloned monkey, the 11-bit cloud superconducting quantum computing platform, and the world’s first "chorea" gene pig & HELIP; … New discoveries and progress emerge one after another.

  I took classes with academicians and people whose names have been seen in textbooks. My teachers are meticulous academically and love students as much as children in life; My classmates are serious and lovely. In the class of dialectics of nature, the classroom presentations submitted by everyone are "Qinghai-Tibet Plateau Uplift and Its Influence", "The Mystery of Solar Neutrino Absence" and "The Loss of Mathematical Uncertainty — — Godel’s great discovery "and so on are" shivering "topics. This makes me feel that I am so close to science that science and scientists are alive by my side.

  Everyone in this school is different, but what they have in common is "working very hard". Whenever, they are rushing to the next thing to do. A biology teacher once said, "Doing scientific research is like washing clothes in the dark. You can’t see the real-time progress of others’ washing, so you should keep washing, try your best to wash, and you can’t stop until the light comes on."

  Whenever I see the persistence in these people’s eyes, I will tell myself, "How can you slow down if you are faster?" History will only care for the determined, the enterprising and the fighters, and will not wait for the hesitant, the lazy and the fearful.

  Any Chinese will feel a strong sense of identity, belonging, security and pride in his motherland after watching the movie. My friends, study astronomy, ocean, geology, biology, artificial intelligence … … Frankly speaking, the first year of graduate students is like a screw. What you can do is to drill and tighten it.

  We are scattered in the basic unit of scientific research — — The 114 research institutes in China insist on facing the major international frontiers, facing the national strategic needs and facing the main battlefield of the national economy, and writing scientific and technological achievements on the land of the motherland. Starting from basic scientific research, we should explore things close to the truth, find ways to make life happier, and break the status quo to meet more possibilities.

  I have no doubt that there will be future scientists among my friends, which makes me a little envious of not studying science and engineering anymore. I study science communication, and I am very satisfied that I can call myself half a scientist.

  Walking on the path to the classroom, thinking about the time allocated to each academic task, I think, I am willing to be a purely practical person. "This era is too good, you have to work hard, you can’t be unworthy of this era."

Dreams are like a seed.

Duan Jingwen, a 2016 undergraduate of Nankai University.

  Recently, I went to the cinema to watch Awesome, My Country. Before the movie started, an old woman in a wheelchair was pushed into the cinema and sat next to me. She has white hair and trembling legs, and her face is covered with wrinkles and age spots left by years. As the film story unfolded, the tears on grandma’s face flashed in the dim light, and the crutch trembled.

  Many people may feel a little confused after watching "Amazing, My Country": "How big is the gap between national strength and individual happiness? How close will national prosperity be to everyone? " At this moment, my grandmother’s tears answered me. Probably only those who have experienced the history wash can understand what the power of this country really means.

  "At that time, I walked from our home to Yunnan for many days. It was a bus and a train. Zhengzhou stopped for a long time and Zhuzhou rested for a night. I also sent some big cakes to satisfy my hunger … …” On the plane to Kunming to see his comrades-in-arms, Grandpa slowly told the story of going to the army that year. Now, the worrying "many days" has been shortened to three hours on the plane, and many long hardships have been replaced by convenient high-speed trains.

  Undoubtedly, high-speed rail has become a new business card for China, which has brought us closer to our hometown. In Spring Festival travel rush, the high-speed trains lined up on the track carry thousands of homesick hearts like bullets on standby, allowing homesick people to cross the north, south, east and west, and come and go freely without being trapped by homesickness.

  Last year, when I went to Wuhan by train, I crossed the Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge, which was completed in 1957. This bridge witnessed the Yangtze River water rolling eastward, taking away the decline of the nation and bringing about the strength of the country. In addition to the Yangtze River, China Bridge also stands on the vast sea, among the steep mountains, and at the junction of national history and future. From then on, it is no longer difficult for Shu Dao to go to the sky, and the country has the ability to let people go out of places where only birds used to fly out.

  When I saw my hometown, a county-level city also has seven expressways, I really felt that the strength of the country is closely related to my personal life, and I can proudly say, "My country is really powerful!"

  "Awesome, My Country" shows us many achievements made by the country since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. The country is no longer a rose with only fragrance but no thorns in Lao She’s Four Generations under One roof, and every citizen no longer needs to use silence to cover up his grief over national subjugation like Qi Ruixuan. Festive scenery does not treat each other, Sangtian blue sea needs to be changed in an instant, looking back at history, the predecessors have gone through thousands of difficulties to make China stand in the east of the world again; Looking forward to the future, a better life depends on our common struggle and common achievement.

  A dream is like a seed. If every Chinese can sow it in his heart and take good care of it, the Chinese dream will come true when all the seeds take root and blossom.

"Powerful country generation" has a long way to go.

Zhai Yujie, a 2015 undergraduate of Southwest University.

  "In the wind and rain, the voyage is magnificent, thousands of miles away in Wan Li, the sun is in my heart, my dream shines ahead, and your faith ignites courage … …” Accompanied by soothing and inspirational music, my heart repeatedly replayed "Awesome, My Country".

  In the form of documentary, the film presents the development achievements of the motherland on the big screen, pushes and pulls the swaying motion lens and degradation lens, brings together scattered pictures and scenes, and conveys to us an image of the motherland that is at the forefront of world development.

  A series of high-speed trains shuttle through the motherland, from the northeast of Snow Country to tropical Hainan; Cars are running on the expressway, reshaping the new symbol of China geography; The automated seaport terminal can handle the world trade quickly and effectively; China’s network has achieved global connectivity in minutes. During the running, China also kept slowing down, stopped to look back, and reflected on various problems encountered in the process of modernization.

  Tears and laughter of Luocuo and Rosandanda, poverty alleviation cadres in Zhaxigang Village, Xizang Autonomous Region, children having free lunches in the mountains, China soldiers, "No matter where you are, don’t forget that there is a great motherland behind you. There is a speed called China’s rescue, and there is a kind of luck to call me Chinese" … … The film’s rigorous but vivid commentary expresses the rapid development of the motherland in a slow-flowing daily life.

  A British media reported the transition from the old platform to the new platform at Longyan Railway Station in Fujian, which only took nine hours, which made the British amazed at the advanced infrastructure project in China. Musk, an American entrepreneur who just sent a sports car into space, couldn’t help forwarding this report and praised that "China’s advanced infrastructure is developing more than 100 times faster than the United States".

  The mountain peaks that Shan Ying once couldn’t fly can now be climbed in 10 minutes; It used to take 12 hours from Beijing to Shanghai, but now it only takes 4.5 hours; 2.99 million base stations and 890 million users, and the total length of optical cable lines in China has reached 30.41 million kilometers; China has contributed more than 30% to the world economy, becoming the first engine to drive the global economy … … Long after the film ended, these pictures and figures still reverberated in my mind.

  The grand vow of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation is echoing in the east of the world. The film not only brought the double shock of vision and mind, but also made Chinese proud, and made our younger generation full of fighting spirit and vitality!

  The first three hours of the film’s release broke the box office record of this kind of film in China. The noteworthy data is that young people constitute the main force of watching "Amazing, My Country". Cat’s eye data shows that 55.5% of the audience in this film are 20-29 years old. On the Internet, a large number of post-90s and post-00s praised the film. The young mode of communication makes the young audience, as the main force of the box office, feel cordial and causes our personal thinking.

  As soon as Qiao Wenwen, a college student, walked out of the cinema, she excitedly took out her mobile phone and chatted with her grandmother in the countryside, telling her that more welfare policies would be distributed to the grassroots. Qiao Wenwen’s dream is to become a grass-roots worker, and transform the mountains that gave birth to her with both hands and the villagers. Wang Jie Shao, a young man from Lanzhou, said that it takes six hours to get home by high-speed train when he goes home for the New Year. In the past, it took more than ten hours to get a hard seat in the Spring Festival travel rush train.

  At the beginning of the film, Dr. Sun Yat-sen’s lifelong struggle is to hope that China will become "the richest country in the world, the happiest country in the world, and the people of China will become the happiest people in the world". Today, the rapidly developing motherland has created a good employment environment and a world of innovation for us. As a "powerful generation", this is the best time and a challenging time, and we have a long way to go.

After 90, we should also tell the "China story"

Zhong Yang, a master student of Huazhong University of Science and Technology in 2016

  After reading "Amazing, My Country", I can’t calm down for a long time like an electric shock. I am not only confident and proud of the development achievements of my motherland, but also moved by the ordinary stories of countless people who are fighting in the front line of building the motherland. When the shocking sound effect, the magnificent narrative picture, and the eloquent story are integrated, my blood is boiling all over and my eyes are wet many times, and I sincerely give my thumbs up to praise my motherland.

  In addition to the magnificent narrative, the film also shows the lives of ordinary people struggling in their jobs from an equal perspective. What impressed me the most was a Tibetan poverty alleviation cadre. In order to persuade her poverty alleviation object to move, she tried her best, tried her best, and made a lot of efforts, just for the poverty alleviation object to live a good life, but her kindness was often not understood. She is the epitome of countless poverty alleviation cadres in China. She has devoted herself wholeheartedly and selflessly, just to contribute to the construction of the motherland.

  This poverty alleviation cadre is about my age, which is one of the reasons why she left a deep impression on me. She is so young, but she shoulders the mission of getting rid of poverty and working silently in precision poverty alleviation, which has become the pillar of the times. In addition to being moved, I am also rethinking: What can I do for the construction of the motherland?

  As future news media practitioners, we have the obligation to open up the public opinion field between the government and the people, to assume the responsibility of media supervision, and to strive for more right to speak in the public opinion field of the international community with pen as a sword and mouth as a knife. Have the obligation to tell the "China Story" well, and inherit and spread the profound and profound China culture from ancient times to modern times.

  As a future news media practitioner, in my daily life, I also want to contribute to the cultural communication of the motherland. During the exchange study in Taiwan Province, I became a Chinese volunteer, teaching foreign students Chinese and actively carrying out the mission of "telling the story of China and spreading and inheriting China culture". I found that foreign students not only revere the long-standing traditional culture of China, but also yearn for the lively and open modern culture of China. "The whole world is speaking Chinese" not only exists in songs, but also is fully reflected in our real life.

  In addition, I found that Taiwan Province people’s understanding of the mainland is not comprehensive enough, but in fact, many young people in Taiwan Province are full of yearning for the mainland. They have been exposed to the development status of many mainland cultural industries through the Internet. Mainland film and television dramas, mainland music, mainland variety shows and mainland apps are imperceptibly affecting young people in Taiwan Province. With the economic development of the mainland of China and the introduction of the policy of Taiwan Province compatriots coming to the mainland to enjoy national treatment, many Taiwan Province people have the opportunity to come to study, find jobs, start businesses and live. Through on-the-spot experience, they can feel the changes in the mainland and get to know the real mainland. They have virtually become the folk mouthpiece of cross-strait exchanges and spread the real mainland message.

  As media practitioners and researchers, we should also devote ourselves to presenting a more comprehensive, three-dimensional and positive image of China to people all over the world through various media channels and forms, so as to enhance the all-round attraction of China culture.

  The post-90s generation was once regarded by public opinion as "tricky in character and weird in behavior", a bit like the "beat generation", but now, we are given a new mission and responsibility — — I am sincerely proud of the "powerful generation". We should constantly improve ourselves and actively become young people with ideals, morality, education and discipline.

  The "powerful generation" happens to be at the historical intersection of the goal of "two hundred years". History gives us a mission and also gives us opportunities. It is our advantage of "maverick, unconventional and pursuing individuality" that makes us full of innovative spirit and infinite possibilities in the future.

  In the new era, our small life will be like a meteor, breaking the sky, blooming gorgeous sparks in the long river of history, reflecting the meaning of life. The "powerful generation" has a heavy sense of responsibility, but at the same time, their self-confidence is stronger. There are so many charming people in the country, and it depends on the present.

I am willing to be a pawn for a strong army and jump down to the grassroots.

Liu Weichao, Ph.D. student of the 17 th Team of Political College of National Defense University

  It is lucky and even greater to throw yourself down and do one thing well all your life.

  "Amazing, My Country" begins with the introduction of a China Bridge that can be called a miracle of the world — — Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge. What moved people was not only its grandeur, but also the memory of its chief designer Lin Ming: "When I first accepted this project, I was 48 years old. Today, the final joint installation is carried out, and I am over 60 years old. " In the past twelve years, my hair has become fashionable, which makes people feel the passing of time. But what is even more impressive and admirable is the self-confidence evaluation of Mr. Lin’s designer: "What we see here is the best equipment, the best construction method, the best technology and the best project in the world." Behind the four "best in the world", it is the dedication and concentration of the great country craftsmen represented by Mr. Lin.

  This dedication and dedication have deepened my understanding of "going to the place where the motherland needs it most" and solved the problem of "going to the grassroots" that has been bothering me for a long time. My father is a veteran. From his age of eighteen to mine, he devoted his best forty years to the fiery grass-roots military camp. May be influenced by my father’s subtle influence, after graduating from a local university, I was admitted to the graduate school of the military academy; And after three years, I was fortunate to be one of the few direct doctoral students in National Defense University. At the beginning, I chose to join the army, hoping that one day, like my father, I could burn myself and exercise myself in the fiery melting pot of grass-roots military camps. After reading the blog, my initial heart was shaken from time to time, and I was concerned about which unit was closer to home and more comfortable.

  Until I saw the miracle of China and the silent efforts behind the speed of China in Awesome, My Country, I understood. Yes, the grassroots are indeed more bitter and tired, and they will encounter more difficulties. However, if you are afraid of hardship and tiredness and covet "promotion and wealth", you can "please go elsewhere". Why did you join the army with a pen to serve the country when you graduated from college? Young people have many ways to live: working close to home, surrounded by relatives and friends; Or decent and tidy, with high income … … These are not necessarily the most suitable for your life. Because what really suits you is never the appearance of reality, but the inner feelings brought by your own values and beliefs. "Today’s responsibility lies not with others, but with my youth." I threw myself down and made myself a pawn on the road to strengthening the army. I think it is more glorious than "setting a small goal and earning him 100 million yuan."

  Do not seek comfort, unwilling to be mediocre. Dedicated to the grassroots, but also a hero!

  As a "powerful generation", besides having a firm will to be down-to-earth and rooted at the grassroots level, we should also focus on establishing the following three consciousnesses: First, we should establish mass consciousness and fight as soldiers. First of all, uphold the concept that "doctors and masters are all soldiers" and truly blend in with their comrades. A first-class army needs a first-class team, and it should be the first step for itself to enter the grassroots.

  The second is to establish a model consciousness. There are many examples in Awesome, My Country. One sentence "Look at me" is better than ten thousand sentences "Give me the job". Combining with oneself, we must first take the lead in ability, learn from teachers, classmates, books and practice, and effectively improve our own ability and quality; In the future grass-roots work, we should give play to our comparative advantages of strong understanding and fast learning, and give play to the leading role of the backbone. In addition, it is necessary to take the lead in attitude, have a good command of knowledge and skills, and it is difficult for a person to master everything. However, in the face of hard work, tiring work, dirty work and dangerous work, he should dare to be the first to show his responsibility and attitude of "dedicating himself to the mission and leading troops" in the Political College.

  The third is to establish a sense of learning. Doctors and masters are all soldiers, but they can’t just be soldiers. First of all, we must establish a lifelong learning concept. The progress of various undertakings in "Awesome, My Country" requires builders to keep up with the pace of the times and keep learning and moving forward. The military affairs of grass-roots companies are complicated, and it is easy for people to delay their studies and forget to study under various excuses, so they should always be self-vigilant; Secondly, it is necessary to change from information sender to knowledge sharer. The information transmitter was once one of the important roles of grass-roots political cadres and the key mechanism for political work to play its role. However, with the continuous improvement of the informationization and intelligence level of the military camp, being a doctor does not necessarily have more information resources to serve comrades. Therefore, it is necessary to change roles and use the academic thinking cultivated by scientific research experience to reprocess and further process "information" so that "information" can become "knowledge" more suitable for the needs of officers and men.

  Looking back at history, the fate of the country and the nation has always been closely linked with the strength of the army and the victory or defeat of the battlefield. In today’s China, the goal of national rejuvenation has never been so firm, and the desire to realize the Chinese dream has never been so strong. A generation has a generation’s mission and responsibility, and the heavy responsibility of strengthening the army falls on our shoulders. If we want to provoke this burden, we must jump down. As a "powerful generation", I don’t want to be named Hou, I hope Hai Boping.

A new era of temperature, strength and grace

Ye Zipeng, a master student majoring in Party building at the Party School of the CPC Central Committee.

  The word "time" makes people feel that there is a sense of historical vicissitudes, which seems out of reach. When we read or hear the stories of a certain era, we often envy or feel the people who are in different times. But just as we can’t detect the revolution of the earth, it is difficult for us to have an overview of the magnificent times when we are there.

  Fortunately, there is such a film, "Awesome, My Country", which shows us the era we live in — — This is a new era.

  The new era is an era with temperature. From the three generations of Bashang plantation to the health administrators who work in households, from the poverty alleviation of the whole population to the weaving of the world’s largest basic medical security network … … Every ordinary hero’s dream should not be hidden in the snow. This is the temperature in China.

  The new era is an era of strength. From "Jilong" going into the sea to "Mozi" going up to the sky, from "Sea Beast" Blue Whale 2 to "Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope (FAST)" FAST, from "Liaoning" aircraft carrier going out to sea smoothly, to C919 aircraft successfully soaring … … The hard struggle behind it turned into a sonorous step.

  The new era is an era of grace. From the community of human destiny to the "One Belt, One Road" strategy, from the establishment of the AIIB to the establishment of the Silk Road Fund, from the APEC meeting in Beijing by Yanqi Lake to the G20 Summit in Hangzhou by Xizi Lake … … Today’s China is closer to the center of the world than ever before, taking on more responsibilities in the center of the stage.

  Not long ago, a tribute film to Tsinghua University also triggered a discussion boom. What makes people unable to calm down for a long time is the different times of each generation and the choices that people made in different times. "Ask nothing about the west and the east" has also become a hot word for a while. This word is selected from Tsinghua University’s school song "Lide makes a point, asks nothing about the West and the East". "Nothing to ask about the West and the East" is actually a kind of "pursuit without personal utility". It is actually a blend of feelings of home and country and historical responsibility, and it is also an initial heart belonging to the times.

  This year is the year of reform and opening up. The extension line of reform and opening up has been drawn to this day, and we still have many problems to face, to think about and to solve. The situation we are facing now is no easier than it was 40 years ago. However, it is this difficulty that has become the responsibility of our generation.

  Without reform and opening up, there would be no "awesome, my country" today. Looking back at the whole time axis of reform and opening up, the beginning is ideological emancipation, the big discussion about the standard of truth. Nowadays, we still need to emancipate our minds.

  We do face many difficulties and challenges, at the same time, we also face many opportunities and opportunities. At this moment, we need to hold the banner of reform and opening up higher.

  Looking back at history, from the household contract responsibility system in Xiaogang Village of Fengyang to the implementation of the "streamline administration, delegate power, strengthen regulation and improve services", from the rapid rise of Pudong New Area to the spread of the "Belt and Road", it is always inseparable from our understanding of the national conditions, our understanding of practice and our grasp of the present. The new era is a promising period of historical opportunities, and we should stick to seeking truth from facts. Seeking truth from facts is the motto of my school. I think its significance lies not only in my school, but also in a wider range.

  Countries in the new era need to seek truth from facts, and seeking truth from facts here is a determined force. "Don’t take the rigid and closed old road, and don’t take the evil road of changing the flag." For a country, the choice of development path must be deeply rooted in the soil of the motherland, and it is not allowed to "digress" at all. This requires firm self-confidence and finding strength in self-confidence.

  The society in the new era needs to seek truth from facts, and seeking truth from facts here is a joint effort, "thinking in one place and making efforts in one place." With the rapid change of society, flowers are becoming more and more attractive, and various values are rampant. Individuals in society should ask themselves what kind of us are needed for the current development. We need to build a broader consensus and follow it to make the society better.

  Young people in the new era need to seek truth from facts. Seeking truth from facts here is a relay to "walk the long March of our generation". Each generation has different historical experiences and different historical missions. But the same thing is, history has chosen those who have chosen the motherland without exception, and those who have striven and taken responsibility without exception. Only when the younger generation has ideals and can successfully take over the "baton" of history can the country and society have hope.

  The country, society and youth in the new era need to return to the initial heart of the times, and the initial heart of the era of "asking nothing about the West and the East" is actually seeking truth from facts. In line with the principle of seeking truth from facts and unremitting struggle, we can see a more powerful country.

The global box office list of the external network does not recognize the response of Wolf Warriors 2 users: no need.

    As of press time, the domestic box office has exceeded 4.7 billion yuan. After the China film market broke various box office records, the majority of fans focused on whether this film can enter the Top100 of the global box office list. If it is on the list, "Wolf Warriors 2" will be the only Chinese-language film to make the Top100 box office in the world.

 

According to the data of Box Office Mojo, the film ranked 99th at the global box office is $679 million at the global box office, which is equivalent to RMB 4.522 billion. Obviously, Wolf Warriors 2 has surpassed Spider-Man: The Return of Heroes in the global box office.

 

However, up to now, we haven’t seen Wolf Warriors 2 in the global box office list of Box Office Mojo.

 

 

Popularize science, Box Office Mojo— — A website of Amazon that systematically calculates the box office of movies. Brandon Gray, the founder, founded the website in August 1998. Up to now, the average monthly traffic of the website has reached one million. Box Office Mojo forum is one of the features of this website.

 

 

It is understood that Box Office Mojo will ignore movies that are not released authoritatively in North America, while the publisher of Wolf Warriors 2 shows "n/a" on the website, which means "unavailable". Therefore, searching for Wolf Warriors 2 on the website didn’t show any information, and MOJO didn’t seem to admit this movie which was a big hit in China.

 

Reject Chinese movies on the list? Fair treatment is the greatest respect.

 

It is reported that the reason why Box Office Mojo does not recognize the box office of Wolf Warriors 2 may lie in the phenomenon of water flooding at the domestic box office. In 2015, it was once removed by Box Office Mojo, which set the highest box office record in China. Although "monster hunt" still appeared in the 2015 mainland box office list in China, the website posted an announcement that "the box office in China will be closed until a more reliable data source is found".

 

 

In this regard, domestic netizens exploded, saying that this is a disrespect for China’s films. Some netizens even said: "Don’t watch any Hollywood movies in the future, start with me, make my share of power to lower the Hollywood box office, and boycott it from the end of August."

 

Post bar users snoring pig: Is it really like Wu Shuo’s kneeling for too long, can’t get up? Why should we judge our own films by foreign standards? Even if Wolf Warriors 2 is ranked 200+ abroad, what does it matter to us?

 

Netizen lishuo_33: The fact will not change because they admit it or not.

 

Netizen fff is: The box office of movies shown in China is not counted, and the top 100 have to be re-ranked, so delete the box office in China.

 

It can be seen from netizens’ messages that China fans are angry at the unfair treatment of Wolf Warriors 2.

 

Wolf Warriors 2’s box office exceeded 600 million dollars, attracting Hollywood’s attention.

 

Although "Wolf Warriors 2" doesn’t appear in the global box office list, can we really ignore this phenomenal Chinese film in China? The answer is obviously no! Especially for Hollywood, they can’t turn a blind eye to the box office figures of Wolf Warriors 2.

 

 

According to a report on the biweekly website of Forbes on August 10th, August 10th is the 15th day of Wolf Warriors 2’s release, and the box office is breaking through 600 million dollars, trying to catch up with the record of 90 million dollars from the third Friday to Sunday after its release.

 

 

The US media admits that this is not good news for Hollywood. Hollywood is counting on the China market to a certain extent, and from the perspective of global box office growth, China’s film market is the best-selling market, which has shown signs of decline for the American and European film markets.

 

It is reported that Hollywood has been on this road for some time, at least since the beginning of 2015. At that time, China surpassed North America at the box office in February, with films mostly made in China. Therefore, Hollywood hopes that the franchise blockbusters of their films in China will bring huge box office, and the best-selling Hollywood of Wolf Warriors 2 will naturally be affected.

 

Let’s take a look at the most popular China films besides Wolf Warriors 2, including pure original works like monster hunt, box office blockbusters with Jackie Chan as the main star, and numerous remakes of The Journey to the West or Chow Yun Fat.

 

 

Zhang Yimou’s movie earned $332 million at the box office in the world at the end of 2016 and the beginning of 2017. It is a fantasy film that is not adapted from any works. This fact alone makes it one of the most important original Hollywood live-action movies last year, second only to.

 

 

If China’s own filmmakers can bring works similar to typical Hollywood blockbusters in vision, scale and production level, the attraction of these Hollywood films in China may decline. China may be in a better position to negotiate about how much income Hollywood gets from film exports and how many American films can be shown in China in a given year.

 

The Four Heavenly Kings of Di Renjie was published in Hong Kong Film Festival.

1905 movie network news The latest poster of Tsui Hark’s film "The Four Kings of Di Renjie" was exposed today and landed on the cover of the Hong Kong International Film Festival. The crisis escalated and ignited the audience’s expectations. The huge sculptures of the four heavenly kings in the latest poster are in sharp contrast with the figure of Di Renjie, which seems to imply a mysterious plot and a sense of mystery and crisis. With the return of "China’s first detective", the new case is magnificent, and the film can be described as the most anticipated blockbuster in summer. Tsui Hark said: "This time is the strongest villain." The film is produced by Huayi Brothers Film Co., Ltd. and Kung Fu Film, directed by Tsui Hark, supervised by Chen Guofu, starring Mark Chao, William Feng, Kenny Lin and Sandra, and played by Carina Lau as Wu Zetian.

The first artificially bred female finless porpoise is one year old!

On June 27th last year, the mother of the finless porpoise "Fujiu" in Wuhan Baijiu Dolphin Museum gave birth to a baby dolphin "F9C22" (nicknamed "Xiaojiujiu"). "Xiaojiujiu" is the first female finless porpoise born in artificial breeding environment. It brings new hope for artificial breeding of Yangtze finless porpoise. The second-generation finless porpoise "Little for a long time", one year old today, happy birthday to the little princess!

"Xiao Jiu Jiu" was born as "online celebrity"

On June 27th, 2022, the Yangtze finless porpoise "F9C22" was born in Baiji Dolphin Museum, Institute of Hydrobiology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, and was widely concerned and loved by the public, and was nicknamed "Xiao Jiu Jiu".

"Xiaojiujiu" is code-named "F9C22". My father is the finless porpoise "Taotao" and my mother is the finless porpoise "Fujiu". Last year, hundreds of millions of netizens collectively watched its birth through live webcast.

In the summer of 2021, researchers from the Baiji Dolphin Museum of the Institute of Aquatic Sciences of the Chinese Academy of Sciences discovered the arrival of the finless porpoise "Fujiu" when doing routine B-ultrasound examination. The gestation period of finless porpoise is about 12 months, and it is estimated that the birth time of finless porpoise baby is in the middle and late June 2022. Since Fujiu became pregnant, her food intake has increased steadily. In order to meet the nutritional needs of her mother, the trainer increased the proportion of fresh bait fish for her and supplemented nutrients such as vitamins and mineral elements.

At 16: 00 on June 27, 2022, the trainer found that the mother "Fujiu" had obvious behaviors such as loss of appetite, shortened breathing interval, floating and so on, and colored liquid overflowed in the reproductive fissure area. These are typical behaviors and physiological characteristics of finless porpoises before delivery. At about 21: 35 that night, my mother gave birth smoothly, and "Little Long Time" was born.

This is also the first time in the world that the whole process of Yangtze finless porpoise delivery has been announced, and more than 200 million netizens have accompanied the "baby finless porpoise" online. "Little Jiujiu" became a little "online celebrity" at birth.

A family of four opens a happy "dolphin life"

At present, there are 11 Yangtze finless porpoises in Baiji Dolphin Museum of Institute of Aquatic Sciences, Chinese Academy of Sciences, among which 4 are Yangtze finless porpoises born in artificial breeding environment, namely "Taotao", "E Wave", "Hanbao" and "Xiaojiujiu".

The finless porpoise’s father "Taotao" was born on July 5, 2005 in the Baiji Dolphin Museum of Institute of Aquatic Sciences, Chinese Academy of Sciences. It is the first finless porpoise in the world that successfully propagated naturally under artificial breeding environment. The mother of the finless porpoise "Fujiu" moved from Poyang Lake to Baiji Dolphin Museum in 2011, which was in its prime.

Xiao Jiujiu’s two half-brothers "E Bo" and "Han Bao" eat too well, are plump and move quickly, and are affectionately called "torpedo brothers" by everyone. Now both brothers have grown into dolphins, and they are able to be independent and have the ability to form their own small families!

According to reports, after the birth of Xiao Jiujiu, the mother of the finless porpoise "Fujiu" has been actively following the care, guiding it to dive deeply and accompany it. At about 4: 30 on the second day after birth, "Xiao Jiu Jiu" finally got the first bite of breast milk. 

At birth, "Xiao Jiu Jiu" weighed 6.5 kilograms and was 70 centimeters long. Now she has gained five times as much weight and has become a chubby girl of 35 kilograms and 1.1 meters long.

Wang Chaoqun, director of training of Baiji Dolphin Museum, said that the mother and daughter dolphins have been very close for a year. "Xiao Jiu Jiu" can eat and play, is smart and learns things quickly. He is not only a small expert in catching live fish, but also cooperates with trainers to eat chilled bait fish with various nutrients, and the daily intake can reach two kilograms steadily.

Dolphins thrive and the future can be expected.

Researcher Wang Kexiong, head of the cetacean discipline group of the Institute of Aquatic Sciences, Chinese Academy of Sciences, said that on October 24th last year, seven caring enterprises in Wuhan donated 20,000 Jin of fresh live fish to the "Xiaojiujiu" family. Trainers have also started a mixed feeding program. It was not until February 25th this year that "Xiaojiujiu" caught and ate a small live fish for the first time. Excited the trainers.

Now Xiao Jiujiu has learned a lot of swimming strokes with his mother in the water. He is a good baby who can eat and play.

According to Wang Kexiong, male porpoises usually follow their mothers for about 2 years, while female porpoises will follow their mothers for about 4 years, learning various skills, especially skills such as breastfeeding and raising children. The sexual maturity age of female finless porpoise is about 6 years old. After 6 years old, "Xiaojiujiu", as the second generation of natural reproduction in artificial environment, is expected to provide opportunities for the third generation of individual breeding of finless porpoises, which has important scientific research value and index significance for the artificial breeding of Yangtze finless porpoises.

According to reports, on February 28 this year, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs announced the results of the investigation: the population of the Yangtze finless porpoise was 1,249.

Researcher Wang Ding, chairman of the Baiji Dolphin Protection Foundation, said, "Monitoring over the past 40 years shows that the number of Yangtze finless porpoises has been declining, and this result is a historic turning point. For the first time, the population of the Yangtze finless porpoise showed a rebound trend. " This is due to the implementation of policies such as the great protection of the Yangtze River and the ten-year ban on fishing, as well as the concern of the whole society for the ecological environment, biodiversity and protection of rare and endangered species in the Yangtze River.

On April 25th this year, four Yangtze finless porpoises (3 males and 1 female) were released into the Yangtze River in Xinluo section of Honghu Lake and Swan Island in Shishou, Hubei Province, which was the first attempt to release ex-situ populations into the Yangtze River in China.

"We have been in this step for more than 30 years." Wang Ding said, "This is a new milestone in the Yangtze finless porpoise protection, and it will also complete the last key technical closed loop of the Yangtze finless porpoise protection technology system."

On May 22nd, 2022, with the support of Wuhan Municipal Government, Wuhan Agriculture and Rural Bureau established "Wuhan Yangtze finless porpoise breeding and conservation technology research center" and "Wuhan cetacean conservation science and education base" in Baiju Dolphin Museum. The Institute of Aquatic Sciences of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Baiji Dolphin Protection Foundation will continue to do a good job in scientific research innovation and social support for finless porpoise protection, promote the high-quality development of finless porpoise protection, realize the harmonious symbiosis between people and the Yangtze River, and make the "smiling angels" endless.

The chip industry continues to decline. How can China enterprises find new opportunities?

In the first half of this year, the import, export and production of domestic chips declined in an all-round way, and the downward trend of the chip industry continued. In addition to storage, the demand for consumer electronics continues to decline, and automobile chips are no longer "lack of cores", and the industry is in a turbulent adjustment.

Under the background of the current global economic weakness, chip competition between China and the United States and the downward cycle of the global semiconductor industry, the domestic chip industry is facing great pressure.

On July 20th, Yu Xiekang, vice chairman of China Semiconductor Industry Association, revealed at the 2023 World Semiconductor Conference that according to preliminary statistics, the sales of integrated circuit industry in China in the first quarter of 2023 was about 205.36 billion yuan, which was basically the same as that in the first quarter of 2022.Among them, the total revenue of memory chips and non-processor chips decreased by 19% year-on-year, and the decline of memory chips was as high as 44%, and the decline in consumer electronics demand was very obvious.

It is worth noting that last year’s chip sales were reached during the epidemic. Therefore, with the liberalization of the epidemic this year, the recession perception of the entire chip industry is more obvious.

Western sanctions have suppressed our advanced chip technology, and this impact is really great.But I think the new technologies, new materials, new prices, etc. in the latter enterprises should inspire us. Yu Xiekang believes that US-led export control will not only disrupt the chip industry chain and supply chain, but also have a significant impact on the industrial development model. He called for "strengthening cooperation", that is, the industry should join hands to safeguard the globalization of the semiconductor industry and promote its global development.

At a sub-forum in the Yangtze River Delta on July 19, a person in charge of a semiconductor industry association responded to a foreign media article and pointed out that "China and the United States have indeed had a war in the field of chips and integrated circuits."

At this year’s World Semiconductor Conference, many chip experts generally believed that the current export restrictions of the US government on China’s advanced chip technology and the global support for chip manufacturing have made China’s chip industry bear the brunt of the geo-economic and "chip fragmentation" and face severe challenges. Some investors believe that the status quo of the chip industry has affected the investment path and long-term development.

Import and export manufacturing declined completely, and the chip industry continued to decline.

In mid-July, the General Administration of Customs and the National Bureau of Statistics successively released the statistical data on the import, export and manufacturing of integrated circuits in the first half of 2023.

Among them, on the import side, in June 2023, China imported 41.3 billion integrated circuits (ICs), down 19.0% year-on-year, while in the first six months of this year, Chinese mainland’s IC imports fell 18.5% year-on-year to 227.7 billion, while the total import volume fell 22.4% year-on-year to US$ 162.6 billion. On the export side, China exported 24.1 billion IC products in June, down 2.2% year-on-year. In the first six months of this year, China’s IC export volume dropped 10% year-on-year to 127.6 billion, and the total export volume dropped by 12%. On the manufacturing side, from January to June this year, the output of integrated circuits in China was 165.7 billion, down 3% year-on-year.

On the whole, in the first half of 2023, the import and production of domestic integrated circuits declined in an all-round way, but the export side did not increase, and the downward trend of the chip semiconductor industry continued, and even bottomed out.

Not just Chinese mainland. According to the latest data released by the American Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA), the global semiconductor sales in the first quarter of 2023 was US$ 119.5 billion, down 8.7% month-on-month and 21.3% year-on-year, indicating that the global semiconductor industry is still in a downturn.

On July 20th, TSMC, a foundry giant, announced its financial report for the second quarter of 2023. Its consolidated revenue was about 111.1 billion yuan, down about 10% year-on-year. The net profit was 42 billion yuan, down 23.3% year-on-year, becoming the first decline since 2019. It is not only impacted by the decline in demand for smart phones and personal computers, but also the destocking of the chip industry and the weak economy.

Wei Zhejia, president of TSMC, said that customers are more cautious in placing orders this year and focus on controlling inventory. Moreover, the general trend is weaker than TSMC’s previous expectation, including slower economic recovery in Chinese mainland and poor terminal demand. Although AI is very strong, the trend of the big environment still can’t fully make up for the reduced part. How to see the end of inventory adjustment depends on economic factors. Therefore, TSMC expects that the revenue of wafer foundry market will decline by about 15%-17% this year, and the annual capital expenditure will be adjusted to the bottom range of 32 billion-36 billion US dollars.

According to the data of China Semiconductor Industry Association, 44% of the revenue of memory chips declined in the first quarter, which is one of the phenomena that the chip industry is in a recession cycle.

Earlier, memory chip leader Zhaoyi Innovation (603986.SH) disclosed the announcement of pre-reduction of performance. The company estimated that the net profit for the first half of 2023 was about 340 million yuan, down 77.73% year-on-year, and the estimated net profit after deduction was about 80.99% year-on-year.

Guosen Securities pointed out that the current storage price continues to decline, and the weak demand has led to the extension of the bottom of the cycle to the third quarter of this year. The original factory successively cut production and capital expenditure. It is expected that the price decline will narrow in the second half of this year, and the industry will pick up at a low growth rate after bottoming out. TrendForce Jibang Consulting believes that it is expected that the average price of NAND Flash will continue to fall by about 3%-8% in the third quarter of this year, and it is expected to stop falling and rebound in the fourth quarter, and the average price decline of DRAM will converge to 0-5% in the third quarter.

Ni Guangnan, an academician of China Academy of Engineering and a researcher at the Institute of Computing Technology of Chinese Academy of Sciences, said that China should use the scale of its domestic market to stimulate the growth of local enterprises, such as Changjiang Storage.He emphasized that even without extreme ultraviolet mask aligner, China can produce advanced DRAM and SSD master control chips.

"In the upstream of the industrial chain, the NAND Flash of Changjiang Storage and the DRAM chip of Changxin Storage have reached the global mainstream level and production capacity; In terms of SSD master control chips, products from more than a dozen domestic manufacturers have been commercialized, and their product capabilities are equal to those of mainstream foreign manufacturers. It should be pointed out that the core equipment for producing NAND Flash memory chips is the etching machine, and the etching machine of Zhongwei Company has broken through the 5nm process and reached the international leading level. The mask aligner process for producing SSD master chips and DRAM is 12~28nm, and EUV mask aligner is not needed, so its chip production and equipment will basically not be’ stuck’. " Ni Guangnan said.

The chip industry continues to decline. How can China enterprises find new opportunities?

Besides storage, nowadays, the demand for consumer electronics continues to decline, and automobile chips are no longer "core-deficient". The manufacturing end is affected by the semiconductor policy of the United States. The whole industry is in a turbulent adjustment, and it is changing from "shortage" in previous years to "flood". The global semiconductor inventory water level is high, and there has been some chaos.

At the SEMICON China event at the end of June, Chen Nanxiang, chairman and acting CEO of Changjiang Storage, said that the globalization system of the chip semiconductor industry chain has been destroyed, and now the industry is facing great uncertainty, and the industry chain will enter a "turbulent and disorderly" moment. It not only impacts the existing global supply chain industrial division of labor, but also has a significant impact on the industrial development model.

According to wind statistics, in the first quarter of this year, the average inventory turnover of major semiconductor manufacturers in the world was about 7 months, reaching the historical peak in two years, far exceeding the conventional inventory water level of about 3 months.

In the past 20 years, the global semiconductor industry’s sales always go back and forth between peaks and valleys, and it will go through a cycle every 4-5 years. Looking back on the recent three cycles of global semiconductors, it generally takes 3-6 quarters for the industry to bottom out. The first round peaked in the third quarter of 2010 and bottomed out in the first quarter of 2012, which lasted for six quarters. The second round peaked in the fourth quarter of 2014 and bottomed out in the second quarter of 2016, which lasted for six quarters. The third round peaked in the third quarter of 2018 and bottomed out in the second quarter of 2019, which lasted for three quarters.

Pei Yun, a partner of Yuanyi Investment Technology, mentioned that at present, the industry is in overcapacity and the semiconductor industry is in a downturn. He believes that there are three signals for the industry to bottom out: first, the inventory has bottomed out; second, the enterprise has suffered substantial losses; and third, there has been a reduction in production. He predicted that the expected orders and gross profit margin of the storage market will improve in the second half of this year, and once it reaches the bottom and inflection point, the market investment confidence will be more sufficient.

At the World Semiconductor Conference in 2023, Wang Lin, a partner of Walden International, said that the number of newly-added semiconductor companies in China reached its peak in 2017, and the future will mainly be elimination. We should reject low-level homogenization competition and get out of the involution through "endogenous+epitaxial" and other means. As far as semiconductor equipment is concerned, it is one of the popular racetracks at present. The internationally famous equipment companies are basically platform companies, and domestic enterprises are also evolving to platform companies.

Wei Shaojun, a professor in Tsinghua University, bluntly said that the manufacturing technology of advanced chips (7nm, 5nm) in China is still far behind that of foreign companies, while China’s emphasis on mature chips is "fragile".

"In the long run, there is no doubt that there is still a big gap between the manufacturing level of our current technology and the international level. Although many of us believe that we should pay more attention to our mature technology, it is undeniable that advanced technology has strong guidance." Wei Shaojun said.

At this World Semiconductor Conference, many domestic chip experts argued about the future under the background of Sino-US chip war.

Wei Shaojun believes that the process of globalization of semiconductor industry has been interrupted. Facing the current internal and external environment, China should also promote the "re-globalization" of semiconductor industry. China is now under pressure, and it is necessary to break the blockade and containment as the goal to achieve self-reliance, but this does not mean self-isolation, but to foster strengths and avoid weaknesses and persist in opening wider to the outside world. Compared with the "division of labor" of globalization in the past, globalization is now recreated with "cooperation" and openness as its main feature.

"The semiconductor industry we have built on the basis of globalization still faces many challenges, and we need to deal with them one by one. How should we deal with them? I think an important idea here is that although we rely on globalization to build China’s own semiconductor industry, in the previous development, we mostly passively followed and undertook the successful development of chip internationalization. So now that it has stagnated or even been reversed, then we believe that’ globalization’ is still a direction that must be adhered to. We must stand on our own feet, play a more important role, and take the initiative to make a difference. " Wei Shaojun emphasized that the development of China’s chip industry must foster strengths and avoid weaknesses, and take the initiative in development.

Shen Fenghua, a professor at Kyung Hee University and CEO of Hikemeisi, believes that China is the world’s largest semiconductor manufacturing base and the largest semiconductor market, and China is an indispensable link in the global semiconductor industry chain. De-sinochem and anti-globalization have led to the destruction of the global semiconductor industry chain. Under the new situation of anti-globalization, not only China needs re-globalization, but also the United States needs a global system.

"China needs high-performance chips, advanced semiconductor equipment and EDA from American companies such as NVIDIA. The world also needs rare earths in China market and China. Under the new situation, the re-globalization of the semiconductor industry is unstoppable. " Shen Fenghua said.

VC seeks new track, domestic substitution continues to accelerate.

On July 20th, at the opening ceremony and summit forum of the 2023 World Semiconductor Conference, Wei Min, director and chief supply officer of Huawei, said that the competition between China and the United States has worsened the supply environment of the whole chip, and semiconductors that were originally easily available have now become as valuable strategic resources as "oil".

The chip industry continues to decline. How can China enterprises find new opportunities?

After several rounds of sanctions and export restrictions by the US government, after five years, Huawei reopened the layout of its self-developed chip track this year.

At this conference, Huawei demonstrated its layout in semiconductor digitalization, including chip EDA engineering simulation and OPC (Optical Proximity Correction) engineering simulation, and achieved some technological breakthroughs in chip design, manufacturing, production and supply. Earlier, Huawei announced that it had made a breakthrough in 14nm EDA software with partners such as Huada Jiutian.

For the people, it should be emphasized that if there were no chip competition between China and the United States, it would have been the fastest development period for China’s semiconductors. Now that there is Sino-US competition, it doesn’t seem to be a bad thing at all, with better investment and higher enterprise enthusiasm.

In fact, with the acceleration of "domestic substitution" by domestic enterprises such as Huawei, investors in the chip industry have made certain investment adjustments as a whole.

At a forum of the World Semiconductor Conference on July 19th, Shen Wenjie, executive director of Yunjiu Capital, mentioned that at present, its capital institutions pay more attention to the investment with income exceeding 100 million yuan and about to enter the Pre-IPO, because these enterprises grow well, which can digest the overvaluation and are close to the listing in the capital market. At the same time, Yunjiu paid attention to some companies in chip design and chip equipment materials in the early days.

On the whole, Yunjiu Capital belongs to the "dumbbell" investment logic in the semiconductor track, and the risk of investing in both ends is low. "From the perspective of the founding team, I mainly look at two points. First, his direct front-line work experience has been done in design, materials and equipment, and production lines; Second, the founder should have some experience in capital market, and clearly understand and adapt to the whole capital environment and the pace of change. Because we will also see that some companies are still starting businesses under the idea of 2021, which may not match the market and is actually very difficult. "

Pei Yun said that the investment stage of Far Wing is mainly in the early to middle stage of growth, and the single amount is about 50-80 million yuan. Therefore, he mentioned that at this stage, if you don’t go back to invest in Angel or Round A, you still need to contact the project for commercialization or commercial progress. "To put it bluntly, we may discuss it more from the perspective of performance."

In addition, there are still some "domestic substitution" markets and opportunities in the markets of advanced packaging, automotive electronics and high computing power chips, especially the chip market in China is developing on the path of "self-production and self-marketing".

TSMC executives said that despite the short-term fluctuations in the industry, the semiconductor prospect is very positive and worth looking forward to, and the global semiconductor market is still growing strongly. Technological innovation will be the engine to promote the substantial growth of the semiconductor industry. It is estimated that the global semiconductor output value will tend to 1 trillion US dollars in 2030, of which 40% is expected to contribute to high-computing products, 30% is supported by mobile computing such as mobile phones, 15% is a high-growth market such as electric vehicles, and 10% is an IoT equipment market.

It is reported that TSMC will launch a 3nm powerful N3E process chip this year, and it is also the direction of the follow-up efforts. According to the road map published earlier, it is estimated that by 2026, TSMC will launch a 2nm follow-up technology N2P/N2X chip and strengthen the N3A process.

Chen Jiashu, CEO of Gartland Microelectronics, who is headquartered in Shanghai, said that the automotive chip products developed by him include MIMO transceiver architecture, transmission network design and optimization of power supply layout network, thus reducing the power consumption of the transceiver, which can be reduced by 20-30% compared with the products of American friends. At the same time, it also has great technical advantages in security and network capability. At present, more than 120 models have been equipped with Gartland CMOS millimeter-wave radar chips.

"In fact, China’s accumulation in the development of vehicle-level chips is very limited. We started from the earliest enterprise engaged in the development of vehicle-level chips nationwide, hoping that our input and output can contribute to the future electrification and intelligent development of China." Chen Jiayu said.

At present, advanced packaging technology has also aroused great concern in the market. Zhao Xiaoma, a partner of CIC Consulting, told Titanium Media App and others that under the background of Sino-US competition, it is forbidden to export high-end mask aligner, and restrictions such as high-performance chips below 10nm technology hinder the improvement of domestic chip manufacturing process. In this case, advanced packaging, as another way to improve performance, does not get stuck in the neck. Therefore, it has become the key point for the domestic semiconductor industry to make up for the scarcity of advanced processes.

However, some investors and industry experts are worried that the "small but scattered" environment of China’s chip industry has affected the long-term development of the industry.

"Because recently, indeed, there have been some chaos in the semiconductor industry in China, and it is indeed necessary to conduct self-examination. There are 1% enterprises with more than 1000 people in China, and over 80% enterprises are small chip companies. Small, chaotic and scattered is the current situation of the semiconductor industry in China, which is actually closely related to capital. " Wang Lin said that in recent years, due to geopolitics, industry, shortage and other reasons, it has played a key role in the development of China’s semiconductor industry.

Walden International, where Wang Lin is located, was established in Silicon Valley in 1987. The company manages both US dollar funds and RMB funds, with a management scale of over US$ 3 billion. The company focuses on investment in high-tech fields such as semiconductor and electronic industry chain, automotive intelligence, artificial intelligence, big data, cloud computing and new economic model innovation, and has invested in more than 500 high-tech companies in 12 countries around the world, including SMIC, Microsemiconductor (688012) and Lanqi Technology (688008).

Wang Lin noticed that some company founders "stepped on each other" in the industry, and even four or five or even seven or eight similar products appeared in the "stuck neck" track, and everyone unanimously said that the first (listed company) did not do well, which became the vicious status quo of entrepreneurship in the chip field.

"Now this atmosphere is not very recommended to start a business, because it is out of our original intention of supporting science and technology entrepreneurship. Therefore, everyone would rather support investing in innovative companies than investing in companies that are technically repetitive. I feel that I need to invest more in industries that are truly supported by the state and companies that really make me proud. " Wang Lin said frankly that the market space among companies in the semiconductor industry is very small, and they are also squeezing and competing with each other, which has affected the development of the chip industry in China.

Guo Yiwu, Secretary-General of Shanghai IC Industry Association, mentioned that at present, China’s chip manufacturing is weak, and TSMC’s foundry accounts for 62% of the whole market, but the sum of the two domestic chip manufacturers is less than 10%, which is a big gap, and enterprises need to work harder. He stressed that the domestic industry should build consensus, give full play to their respective advantages, and develop in coordination, and the future can be expected.

Yu Xiekang mentioned that there are three opportunities for upgrading and optimizing the semiconductor industry in China in the future:First, seize the opportunity of digital economy development, and the industrial chain fills the shortcomings; Second, grasp the opportunities in the post-Moore era and meet the challenges of advanced technology development; The third is to seize the opportunity of high-level opening to the outside world and meet the development of chip re-globalization.

Integrated circuit industry is a highly internationalized industry. Only by eliminating market barriers and strengthening industrial cooperation can the long-term, sustained and stable development of semiconductor industry in China be realized.

According to enterprise investigation information, by the end of May, there were 5,770 chip-related enterprises cancelled and revoked in China in 2023, but 51,000 chip-related enterprises were newly registered in the same period. In terms of investment and financing, 424 financing events were completed in the chip track, which was 16.2% lower than that in the same period in 2022, but 14.6% higher than that in the same period in 2021.

Nanjing, the venue of the 2023 World Semiconductor Conference, currently has more than 500 semiconductor companies. Together with Wuxi and Suzhou, it has become a gathering place of chip industry in eastern Jiangsu, covering EDA, chip manufacturing, packaging and testing.

On July 20th, TSMC announced that it would expand the 28nm production capacity of its Nanjing plant. At present, TSMC Nanjing plant has the manufacturing capacity of 12nm, 16nm, 22nm and 28nm, with a monthly production capacity of about 350,000 pieces.(This article is the first titanium media App, author | Lin Zhijia)

Shanghai State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission takes over SAIC as a whole.

  On December 30, 2011, the unveiling ceremony of SAIC’s "annual vehicle sales exceeding 4 million vehicles and overall listing" was held in Shanghai World Expo Center.

  SAIC is the second listed company directly controlled by Shanghai State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission after Shanghai Port Group (600018).According to the goal set by the reform of state-owned enterprises in Shanghai, during the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" period, more than 90% of the municipal industrial groups in Shanghai will be listed as a whole or their core assets.

  According to the overall listing plan of SAIC, the original SAIC group included 16 companies related to spare parts supply business, automobile service trade business and new energy automobile business, with a total estimated net assets of RMB 29,118,756,830.05, all of which entered the listed companies, achieving more than 99% assets listing.

  In order to reflect the changes in the company’s assets and scale after the completion of the transaction, the abbreviation of Shanghai Automobile Company was changed to "SAIC", and the full name and securities code remained unchanged.

  Through this reorganization, the parts business and service trade sector entered the new SAIC, which extended the business industrial chain of listed companies upstream and downstream. "This is to enable the company to open up new and broader profit space and enhance the medium and long-term competitiveness and risk resistance of listed companies." Gu Feng, chief financial officer of SAIC, said.

  Wang Liusheng, a senior analyst of China Merchants Securities (600999), commented on this: "The Shanghai State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission is directly holding shares, and the mechanism of Shanghai’s automobile securitization rate will be more flexible."

  As institutions are generally optimistic about SAIC’s overall prospects after listing, "Shanghai Auto" has shown an upward trend for two consecutive trading days. On December 30, 2011, Shanghai Auto closed at 14.14 yuan, up 1.87% on that day.

  The reorganization of Shanghai Auto is the first step of Shanghai’s large-scale state-owned securitization plan. "SAIC’s model will become one of the reference templates for the overall listing of Shanghai state-owned assets in the future." An insider of Shanghai SASAC told reporters.

  The overall listing of Shanghai Auto is very rapid. From the suspension of trading in February last year to the reorganization of the audit Committee meeting on August 2 last year, it took only half a year for SAIC to go public all day. Because of the outstanding achievements in restructuring, on December 20th last year, SAIC also won the typical M&A case award issued by Shanghai Stock Exchange.

  There are three main modes of direct holding of state-owned assets in Shanghai. One mode is to hold the group’s "empty shell", that is, the group still retains its business, but all its business enters the listed company; Second, the state-owned platform controlled by state-owned assets controls listed companies; The third mode is the cancellation of the group, which is directly controlled by Shanghai SASAC. The third mode is adopted by SAIC. At present, SAIC has been "empty shell", and the assets of the group will be gradually handed over to the Shanghai State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, and finally it will be truly de-collectivized.

  "Relatively speaking, our assets are relatively clear and the parties to the integration plan are more acceptable." Gu Feng told reporters that there were not many technical problems in the whole listing process.

  Profit focus: from vehicle manufacturing to service trade

  "At the beginning of SAIC’s overall listing, three principles were determined, namely, integrating business, improving system and safeguarding shareholders’ rights and interests". Gu Feng revealed that a total of 16 companies entered the listed company this time, including independent parts supply business, automobile service trade business and new energy automobile related business.

  "Before that, the focus of Shanghai Auto was mainly on the manufacturing link in the middle of the industrial chain. Through this restructuring, the parts business and service trade sectors have entered Shanghai Auto, which will extend the business industry chain of Shanghai Auto upstream and downstream, which will open up new and broader profit space for the company. " Gu Feng told reporters.

  The service and trade department is a very important asset of the former SAIC, involving automobile sales, automobile finance, automobile rental, logistics, used car management and other business fields. Previously, it has been listed as an important part of core business and core competitiveness by SAIC in response to the transformation requirements of Shanghai and the development trend of the world automobile industry.

  In 2010, the operating income of SAIC’s service trade business exceeded 40 billion yuan, an increase of 230% over the end of the Tenth Five-Year Plan, a profit increase of 635%, and a return on net assets from 1.7% to 14%.

  Shen Yin Wanguo’s latest report also pointed out that the profit of the service trade business injected this time was 1.1 billion yuan, accounting for only 6.7% of the total amount after the reorganization, and there is much room for growth in the future.

  The key components of Huayu Automobile, such as drive motor, electric steering gear, electronic air conditioner, etc., will be injected into listed companies together, which will play a synergistic effect with the new energy businesses such as Jiexin and Jieneng under Shanghai Automobile. The new energy automobile business will be unified on the platform of Shanghai Automobile, which will help SAIC to integrate the key new energy technologies accumulated by the Group with the whole vehicle and parts business. After cultivation and development, it is expected to become a new profit growth point in the future.

  How to supervise state-owned assets is the key to the market outlook.

  As all the business of the Group entered the listed company, the company adjusted its administrative organization to meet the needs of the company’s operation and management after reorganization. The reporter learned that the adjusted administrative organization includes thirteen departments and three rooms. At the same time, in order to meet the needs of the company’s business development after reorganization, a new branch, Shanghai Automotive Group Co., Ltd. Training Center, was established, specializing in business-related training.

  SAIC listed as a whole: SASAC took over the assets of the group.

  The newly added functional departments are mainly Service Trade Division, Asset Management Department and Safety Supervision Department. At the same time, the personnel integration of SAIC is also in progress, waiting for the final approval of the board of directors and the shareholders’ meeting. The overall idea is that the leadership of the former SAIC and SAIC Motor will be merged into one.

  In December 2006, SAIC Motor acquired the whole equity, key parts and auto finance assets of the group through private placement, and realized the first round of "whole listing" of SAIC Motor. Because Shanghai Automobile hopes to have a higher concentration of business, it chose the whole vehicle and parts closely related to the whole vehicle to go public. In August 2008, SAIC listed some of its spare parts assets by borrowing the bus shares of Shanghai Jiushi Holdings, and renamed it "Huayu Automobile" (600741.SH).

  This overall listing, SAIC still retains the independence of Huayu Automobile, and the status of Huayu Automobile’s independent listing remains unchanged, but the shareholder has changed from the original SAIC to the new SAIC.

  After SAIC went public as a whole, for SASAC, due to the direct management through SASAC or the platform company of SASAC, the intermediate links were reduced, and the shareholders’ equity income was also greater. In addition, as the largest vehicle manufacturer in China, the overall listing of Shanghai Automobile can also be used for reference by other state-owned automobile listed companies.

  "For the SASAC, the identity has changed, from the original state-owned asset manager to the shareholder of the state-owned listed company. After the SASAC directly holds shares, how to abandon the inherent state-owned management model and manage it according to the modern enterprise system is still a topic worthy of study."The industry believes that.
