　　Those who are good at games seek the potential, while those who are good at governance seek the overall situation. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader stressed during his recent inspection tour in Sichuan: "Sichuan is located in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, so it is necessary to enhance the overall awareness, firmly establish the upstream awareness, unswervingly implement the policy of joint protection and no development, build an ecological barrier in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, and protect this clear water."

　　The Yangtze River Economic Belt covers 11 provinces and cities along the Yangtze River and spans three major plates in China. Restoring the ecological environment of the Yangtze River and promoting the high-quality development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt require the interaction and cooperation of the upper, middle and lower reaches. At the symposium on further promoting the development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt held in 2018, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out that "the protection and restoration of the Yangtze River ecological environment ‘ Seek a domain ’ Mostly, ‘ Passively ’ There are many key breakthroughs; ‘ Seek the overall situation ’ Insufficient, ‘ Actively ’ Less overall promotion "requires" correctly grasping the relationship between overall promotion and key breakthroughs, based on the overall situation, making decisions before moving ". In recent years, it is precisely because of insisting on systematic planning from the overall situation and the overall situation that the ecological environment protection of the Yangtze River Economic Belt has undergone a turning point.

　　"He who does not seek the overall situation does not seek a domain". Observing the general situation, seeking the overall situation and grasping major events are important ways of thinking and working. If we don’t consider our work from the overall situation and the whole, we will easily "see the trees but not the forest" and lose sight of one thing, and fall into the dilemma of picking up sesame seeds and throwing watermelons and making up for the short wall; If you only pay attention to your own land, one-sided emphasis on the particularity of the local department will not be conducive to the development of national and overall work, and in the end, it will also hinder the development of one party. And when we "understand the overall things, we will use the local things more". The ancients said that "the one who gets the most can also be small", which is the truth. The General Secretary of the Supreme Leader profoundly pointed out that "leading cadres must have a clear idea of the country’s big players when they think about problems and make decisions, and they must make more big calculations and calculate big accounts, and less small calculations", emphasizing that "more attention should be paid to planning a domain from the overall situation and serving the overall situation with a domain", which is of great guiding significance for all localities and departments to do a good job. This requires us not only to be good at analyzing and studying the situation from the overall situation and strengthening planning, but also to do a good job in specific work and things, and to serve the overall work by solving practical problems and promoting specific work.

　　Planning a domain from the overall situation is a kind of mind, vision and pattern. When the Supreme Leader was in charge of Shanghai, he pointed out that the future development of Shanghai must be considered and planned in the central government’s strategic orientation for Shanghai’s development, in the general trend of economic globalization, in the overall development pattern of the whole country, and in the overall deployment of the country for the regional development of the Yangtze River Delta. During his inspection tour in Shanghai in May 2014, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader asked Shanghai cadres at all levels to look at the whole world and the whole country, constantly improve their strategic thinking, strategic grasp and strategic operation ability, and strive for development and achievements, not only striving for domestic first-class, but also daring to compare and compete internationally. Leading cadres and officials at all levels should always regard the overall situation as the starting point and the end result of observing and handling problems, pursue the overall interests as the highest value, correctly understand the overall situation and consciously obey the overall situation, so as to continuously improve the principle, systematicness, foresight and creativity of "seeking a domain".

　　At the same time, we must realize that the overall situation cannot be separated from the parts and independent, and the overall situation is composed of all its parts. This requires us to serve the overall situation with one domain and promote the overall improvement of the overall situation through local key breakthroughs. When talking about the development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader stressed that "we should use the method of system theory to correctly grasp the relationship between our own development and coordinated development" and "all regions and cities in the Yangtze River Economic Belt must proceed from the whole and establish ‘ A game of chess ’ Thought, realize dislocation development, coordinated development, organic integration, and form an overall synergy. " For leading cadres at all levels, it is necessary to firmly establish the idea of "playing a game of chess", focus on the overall interests on major issues, define the orientation of self-development in the overall situation of national development, identify the combination of their own advantages and overall work, and avoid interfering with the overall situation, actively integrating into the overall situation, and effectively serving the overall situation.

　　There is such a vivid metaphor: "A choir must pay attention to a main theme and a rhythm if it wants to speak with one voice. The same is true of economic work. If every department and unit emphasizes the importance of their work, each plays its own horn and sings its own tune, it is not singing ‘ Smash the pot ’ Can’t. " On the new journey, we will improve our strategic thinking ability of taking the overall situation into consideration, strengthen our mission of "making the most of the things and doing the most of them", not only take a long view, take the overall situation into consideration, but also implement them in detail and accumulate them, so that we will surely win glory for a domain, add luster to the overall situation and play the chorus of high-quality economic and social development.

　　People’s Daily (June 20, 2022, 04 edition)

It can be said that Alphabet (Google’s parent company), Meta and Microsoft, the three giants of American AI, have handed over their own stage test scores, but unlike the impression formed by the outside world in the previous paragraph, Google, which has been constantly sung, has seen its share price soar after the financial report, while Meta, which won a heart by Llama 3, has evaporated by 1.6 trillion overnight.

Only Microsoft continued to exceed expectations, watching the other two unreliable rivals smile and get back the top spot in the world market value.

Google, the big brother who is often upstaged by his peers on various occasions, is finally proud this time.

Not only did Q1′ s revenue, advertising and cloud business all increase at a faster speed, but it also crushed all the indicators, with an increase of over 15% after the close, and announced the dividend distribution and $70 billion stock repurchase plan for the first time.After the financial report was published, Google’s market value soared by 300 billion US dollars, making it the fourth largest listed company in the world after Microsoft, Apple and NVIDIA.

In this quarter, the total revenue of Google’s parent company Alphabet was 80.54 billion US dollars, much higher than the market expectation of 79.04 billion US dollars, up 15% year-on-year, the fastest growth rate in two years. Net profit jumped 57% year-on-year to $23.7 billion, and diluted earnings per share was $1.89, up 61.5% from $1.17 in the same period last year.

Despite betting on the big language model Gemini training and infrastructure investment, the AI capital expenditure of $12 billion this season exceeded expectations by $1.7 billion. Closely related to AI, the growth of cloud business, which is regarded as Google’s next growth engine, is still accelerating rapidly. Revenue in the first quarter increased by 28.4% year-on-year to $9.6 billion, which was higher than the analyst’s expectation of $9.37 billion, and doubled the overall revenue growth rate for several consecutive quarters. Although it ranks third in the market share of cloud computing, it is still trying to catch up with Amazon and Microsoft, but it is finally on the right track of turning losses into wins.

"In the past eight months, we have released more than 1,000 new products and functions in the field of cloud computing. At the Google Cloud Next conference, more than 300 customers and partners talked about their success in artificial intelligence on Google Cloud, including global brands such as Bayer, Mercedes-Benz and Wal-Mart. " Google CEO Sandel Pichai said at the earnings conference.

And the credit still has to be given to AI. Like Microsoft, more and more enterprises seek to deploy AI load on public cloud, and Google Cloud also provides customers with various generative artificial intelligence services through the Gemini model. Recently, a new CPU「Axion "based on Arm architecture was launched, aiming at improving the efficiency of cloud computing and reducing operating costs, and further strengthening Google’s competitiveness in the cloud market. Polat, CFO, stressed that "artificial intelligence is making an increasing contribution" to the sales of Google’s cloud division.

Pichai also believes that the transformation of artificial intelligence is a "golden opportunity", and the company is racing against time to integrate this technology into the whole business.At the Google Cloud Conference earlier this month, everything revolved around generative AI, further opened and optimized Gemini 1.5 Pro, and officially launched its own most powerful and expandable AI accelerator TPU v5p P.

In addition, the core advertising industry has also achieved steady improvement this quarter. Total revenue was $61.6 billion, a year-on-year increase of 13%. Among them, Google search and other advertising revenue was 46.2 billion US dollars, and YouTube advertising revenue was 8.1 billion US dollars, both of which achieved double-digit growth.

However, for Google, which is still positioned as a "search giant" in the market, the boost of generative AI may be a double-edged sword: on the one hand, Google is exploring new income channels such as advertising placement, independent subscription service and enterprise authorization through AI tools such as Gemini to adapt to market changes and needs. On the other hand, improving the generative search experience may affect the original advertising profitability. At the same time, the rookie of AI search engine represented by Perplexity also faces potential challenges.

In fact, compared with Microsoft and Meta, Google has not had an easy time these months. First, Gemini’s image generation function was forced to withdraw from the market because of racial discrimination, which once triggered a controversy about whether Pichai was qualified as CEO of Google. After paying a large amount of severance pay for layoffs, this week, 50 employees protesting against the company’s signing of a cloud computing contract with Israel were fired, causing internal riots.

In the midst of disputes and challenges, this beautiful financial report comes at the right time. Not only has it greatly boosted market confidence, but it also shows that Google has found the right direction in the AI ? ? era. With the recent reorganization of the artificial intelligence department and more attention to product speed, Google’s performance in the second half of the year is still expected.

After experiencing the "efficiency year" of business focus adjustment, department reorganization, artificial intelligence and layoffs and cost reduction, Meta made a beautiful turnaround with a revenue of 40.1 billion US dollars in the last quarter. The share price has soared by 140% in the past 12 months, far exceeding Google’s 50% and Microsoft’s 35%.

In this 2024 Q1, the social media giant, which just released a new generation of open source model Llama3, continued to reap the most brilliant first-quarter performance in history, with revenue and profit higher than Wall Street’s expectations.

The data shows that Meta’s total revenue in the quarter was US$ 36.46 billion, a year-on-year increase of 27%, the fastest growth rate in three years. Net profit increased by 117% year-on-year to US$ 12.37 billion, and diluted earnings per share was US$ 4.71, more than double that of US$ 2.2 in the same period last year.

Among them, advertising business is still the core income source of Meta, and the results are gratifying. It increased by 27% year-on-year to $35.64 billion, accounting for nearly 98% of the total revenue. The daily users of FoA increased by 7% year-on-year to 3.24 billion, and the advertising exposure also increased by 20%.

This is mainly due to the application of artificial intelligence technology, which significantly improves the accuracy of targeted advertising. According to Meta, at present, more than half of their advertising recommendations are driven by AI.

After falling to the bottom in 2022, Meta tried to regain the market share of digital advertising. Zuckerberg then launched an initiative to reorganize the advertising business, with the focus on using AI. Susan Li, CFO, once said that the company has been investing in AI models that can accurately predict user-related advertisements and tools that automate the advertising creation process.

In terms of software, Meta recently presented the "GPT-4 level" open source AI model king Llama 3, defeated Gemini 1.5 and Claude 3 in a number of benchmark tests, and upgraded the potential training parameters to 400B b. Widely used in different platforms and scenarios, and vowed to wash off LLM companies and API suppliers with free commercial blood. At the same time, Meta AI is integrated into family applications such as Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp and Ray-Ban smart glasses to provide users with more flexible and diverse assistant functions.

In terms of hardware, like every colleague who doesn’t want to be stuck, Meta not only stepped up the storage of NVIDIA chips, but also released the latest version of Training and Inference Accelerator (MTIA). Using TSMC’s 5nm process, focusing on strengthening AI reasoning, it is specially designed for the ranking and recommendation system of its social software, and its performance is three times higher than that of the previous generation. They also developed a large rack-mounted system that can accommodate up to 72 accelerators to support self-developed chips. Now they have been deployed in the data center of Meta to complement the commercial GPU.

With the cooperation of AI software and hardware, overseas retailers from China, such as Temu and Shein, also added a fire to Meta’s performance with huge investment in Facebook and Instagram advertisements. And with the approaching of the US presidential election in 2024, political advertising has surged. According to the latest forecast of AdImpact, this year will be the most expensive election cycle in American history, and the advertising expenditure is expected to reach 10.2 billion dollars.

At the same time, due to the annual efficiency adjustment plan, Meta laid off nearly 10% of its employees, and the total number of employees was 69,329 as of March 31, 2024.

In stark contrast to streamlined operations, Xiaozha’s more drastic artificial intelligence layout. In the face of the growing AI war in Silicon Valley, Meta raised its capital expenditure from the expected $30 billion to $37 billion to $35 billion to $40 billion in 2024 to "accelerate infrastructure construction to support the company’s AI roadmap" and continue to compete for top AI talents with high salaries to join the company’s technology research and development.

In addition, he seems to have a "obsession" with the meta-universe, saying that he will continue to invest in long-term goals and "build a virtual world full of incarnations." It should be noted that although the revenue of Reality Labs, which is responsible for VR/AR/MR and Metauniverse development, increased year-on-year, it still lost $3.8 billion, and the total loss has exceeded $45 billion since the end of 2020.

Various unstable factors, together with expanding AI expenditure and a lower-than-expected revenue outlook for the second quarter, have caused the market to worry about Meta’s future sustainable profitability. Despite handing over a super-bright performance answer sheet, Meta’s share price still fell.

And this does not seem to shake Zuckerberg’s determination to push AI. Just as the stock price is diving, the financial report phone will be opened as scheduled.

He firmly told investors that he would spare no expense to build Meta into "the world’s leading artificial intelligence company". It also revealed that Meta is actively exploring a variety of AI revenue-generating strategies, including providing enterprise-level services, introducing advertisements into AI interactions, and allowing people to pay for larger AI models and more access to computing resources. AI has also helped Meta to increase application participation, thus allowing more advertisements to be seen and directly improving advertisements to bring more value.

However, Xiaozha also bluntly said, "Building a leading AI will be a more arduous task than optimizing the application experience, and it may take several years."The implication is that although the long-term value of taking AI is full, don’t expect it to make big money immediately. The words directly scared the market to collapse. Meta’s share price plummeted by 18% after hours, and its market value shrank by nearly $200 billion.

This unexpected trend just reflects the current general attitude of Wall Street towards artificial intelligence: compared with a lot of AI investment, the market wants to see the balance between expenditure and growth, and looks forward to a clearer monetization signal.

However, for Meta, fully embracing AI technology and then applying it to social networks, advertising, metauniverse, wearable devices and other fields, even if it takes several years to turn into considerable profits, it is also determined to pay and wait. Zuckerberg blocked his future this time, and he won’t go back when he opens his bow.

Unlike Meta, which was plunged by the Nasdaq market, Microsoft gained momentum after its financial report was released. It rose by 5% after hours, and overtook Apple for the nth time to become the highest value company in the world.

As the first commercial track leader to bet on generative artificial intelligence, Microsoft’s performance is still firm, and all business indicators have exceeded expectations:

The total revenue was $61.86 billion, up 17% year-on-year, exceeding the previous official guideline of 14.5%. The net profit was $21.94 billion, up 20% from $18.3 billion in the same period last year. The adjusted earnings per share was $2.94, higher than the market expectation of $2.82.

Driven by the strong demand of AI, Intelligent Cloud, including Azure public cloud, Windows server, voice recognition software Nuance and GitHub, continued to live up to expectations, with revenue increasing by 21% year-on-year to $26.7 billion, higher than the market expectation of $26.25 billion. The growth rate was the highest in five fiscal quarters, and it also surpassed rivals Amazon AWS and Alphabet Google Cloud.

Among them, Azure and other cloud services increased by 31% year-on-year, and 7 percentage points came from AI contribution.

In this regard, CEO Nadella pointed out in a conference call that "Azure has become the center of AI projects, involving not only AI models, but also databases and other services. Many customers are using Microsoft platforms and tools to build their own AI solutions:

More than 65% of Fortune 500 companies are using Azure OpenAI service, and GitHub Copilot for developers has 1.8 million paid subscribers. 30,000 customers use Copilot Studio low-code tools to customize their own Copilot. "

In addition to intelligent cloud, since this is the first full quarter since Microsoft launched 365 Copilot generative artificial intelligence assistant to commercial customers last November, the market is also very concerned about the sales performance of Office suite.

Nadella said that Copilot has embedded the latest technology of OpenAI into Microsoft’s entire product line to provide customers with various value-added services. The data shows that the revenue of productivity and business process departments increased by 12% year-on-year to $19.6 billion in this quarter, of which the revenue of Office 365 increased by 15%, and the number of paid subscribers has reached 80.8 million. It is expected that it will continue to achieve steady growth in the next fiscal quarter-which shows that Microsoft has a solid foundation and remarkable achievements in the commercialization of AI software.

In addition, thanks to the acquisition of Activision Blizzard in October last year, Microsoft’s personal computing revenue, including game business, also achieved double-digit growth to $15.6 billion, and Xbox performance increased by 62% year-on-year.

Nadella confidently said: "Microsoft is leading a new era of AI transformation, bringing better business results to various roles and industries."

Since the beginning of this year, Microsoft has been making great moves in the field of AI. On the eve of the financial report, an exciting news was announced: on the basis of the 2020 cooperation agreement with Coca-Cola Company, we will continue to sign a five-year strategic contract worth $1.1 billion. Help it achieve further digital transformation through Microsoft Azure Cloud, Microsoft 365 Copilot tools and leading generative artificial intelligence technology.

Last week, Microsoft’s artificial intelligence empire expanded to the Middle East for the first time: it invested $1.5 billion in G42, an AI company in the United Arab Emirates, and obtained its minority stake and board seats. Meanwhile, G42 will run its AI applications and services on the Azure cloud computing platform.

In the layout of the big model, after spending $13 billion on OpenAI, Microsoft also decided not to spoil ChatGPT alone, but to open up more possibilities. In February, it was announced that it had reached an in-depth cooperation with Mistral AI, a French star AI startup, investing 150,000 euros and providing computing infrastructure to assist in large-scale model training and reasoning. Mistral has also become the second commercial closed-source model supplier of Microsoft besides OpenAI.

In March, after leading the latest round of financing for the artificial intelligence unicorn Infection AI, Microsoft directly poached its two co-founders and most of its technical staff. Mustafa Suleyman, the former CEO of Influence, was appointed as the CEO of Microsoft AI, a newly established artificial intelligence department, responsible for integrating consumer toC products, including Copilot, Bing and Edge, and reporting directly to Nadella. Another co-founder Karen Simonyan joined as the chief scientist. One operation not only obtained the authorization of Influence technology, but also completed the talent acquisition of "hollowing out" level, which once shocked the industry.

In terms of hardware, in addition to introducing two new Surface as the next generation AIPC, Microsoft is also developing a new network card similar to NVIDIA ConnectX-7 to support the self-developed Maia 100. It also plans to hoard 1.8 million AI chips by the end of this year and triple the number of GPUs. Significant progress has also been made in building a data center worth up to $100 billion with OpenAI and building a supercomputer called "Stargate".

Bet on a number of mainstream large model development teams, make great strides in data processing capabilities, coupled with the stronger technical advantages after the launch of GPT-5, Microsoft has a stable position in the Jianghu.

Looking at the new round of financial performance of Meta, Alphabet and Microsoft, it is not difficult to see that generative artificial intelligence has penetrated into all aspects of the business pipeline and become the core engine driving enterprise growth.

Microsoft’s success is particularly typical, with a number of AI software and hardware forward-looking layout firmly in the top spot, and various businesses take off at high speed.

Although Meta’s huge AI investment makes investors jumpy, it is still unknown whether it can realize commercial profit as soon as possible, but the advertising revenue boosted by AI has achieved initial results. With Llama’s big model and computing power blessing, Zuckerberg’s determination and ambition to build a global AI leader should not be underestimated.

As for big brother Google, it finally found its own rhythm in the AI ? ? war. Weapons such as Gemini and TPU have sharpened their swords and are ready to accelerate the search for new growth points in the AI wave.

The judgment of the three giants on the development direction of artificial intelligence is surprisingly consistent, and they all offered a gamble of real money to invest in this future technological change. Standing on the cusp of the times, how high and how far AI can finally take them, the eyes of the global technology industry will look here.

Yu Wei, who won four Oscar statuettes (best actor, best editing, best sound effect and best sound effect editing) in one fell swoop, is based on the film Bohemian Rhapsody, the life story of Queen lead singer Freddie Mercury, which landed in major cinemas in China on March 22nd. Since the film was released in the United States and other places last November, it has won $870 million at the global box office, ranking first in the history of box office music biographies.

At the same time of box office sales, critics did not agree with Bohemian Rhapsody. On the film review website "Rotten Tomato", its favorable rate barely passed the passing line (61%). The film is co-produced by two members of the band, Brian May and Roger Taylor. Although the authenticity of the content is guaranteed, it can also save troubles such as subsequent lawsuits, but it is also inevitably limited and tied. Simran Hans, a film critic of the British Observer, criticized the scripts written by Anthony McCarten (Dark Hour, The Theory of Everything) for being too plain.

In fact, it is always a thankless attempt to shoot biographies of rock musicians, and polarized comments are sparse and common. Although the life experience of rock musicians is often passionate and magnificent, it is an excellent material for movies; However, in view of their high public awareness, there are not a few diehard fans who think they know idols like the back of their hands, so it is inevitable that people are unable to agree. However, the rock biographies that can be recognized by most fans are not unique. For example, the following ten films, the first nine of which are from the "Top30 Best Music Biography in History" selected by Rolling Stone magazine in 2016, and Nicole in 1988 are among the best rock biographies born in recent years. It is worth mentioning that "The Rose" alludes to Janis Joplin’s life, and "Velvet Goldmine" alludes to David Bowie’s contacts with Mick Lan Sen, Iggy Pop and Lou Reed.

The Buddy Holly Story) 1978).

In this film about the late Texas great rock musician buddy holly directed by Steve Rash, Gary Busey, the leading actor, sang Holly’s masterpieces in person, and was well-deserved to be nominated for an Oscar. The rock spirit injected by Busser in the film is quite pure, which is rarely seen in similar works in Hollywood. Fundamentally speaking, the most far-reaching influence of this film lies in its successful re-introduction of Holly’s music to American audiences. In the hottest age of disco, the topic triggered by this film pushed Buddy Holly Lives, a selected record, to the 55th place on Billboard.

Elvis elvis presley (1979)

Since the premature death of Elvis Presley in 1977, many biographies of Elvis Presley have been produced in the film and television industry, but today, this TV movie directed by John Carpenter is still one of the best. Prior to this, Kurt Russell, the leading actor, was mainly known for his role in Disney live-action movies such as The Computer Wore Tennessee Shoes, but he was nominated for an Emmy Award for his wonderful performance as Elvis Presley. He perfectly captured the depth of the superstar in a way that was completely irrelevant to parody. He didn’t really sing in this movie-he was only in charge of lip-synching, and Ronnie McDowell, a country music singer, was in charge of the voice, but his stage performance did highly reproduce the power and shock that Elvis showed when he was on stage. For the darker side of Elvis Presley’s personality, the film has not lightly weakened it; The scene where Russell shot and smashed the hotel TV set is the most unforgettable scene in all Elvis Presley movies.

Sid and Nancy) 1986)

The film records how Sid Vicious, a member of the British rock band Sex Pistol, slipped down the drug abyss step by step until he finally killed his girlfriend and died of an overdose himself. In fact, the relationship between this film and music is not so close. Now, Sid Vicious’s music is not even like punk music, but more like progressive rock’s: look at the slow motion of him and Nancy kissing in the garbage rain next to the trash can, and you will understand that his music is similar to orchestral music compared with the roar that gushes directly from the depths of his throat.

Apart from music, Gary Oldman’s self-destructive personal charm on Sid is so magical that even John Lydon, the lead singer of "Sex Pistol", angrily cursed the director Alex Cox to die after watching the movie, but he was still moved by Odeman’s performance and gave him high praise.

La Bamba) 1987)

With the superb acting skills of Lou Diamond Phillips, who plays Mexican-born rock star Richie Valens, and Esai Morales, who plays his brother Bob, the film Legend of Youth reproduces the ups and downs of the last eight months of 17-year-old Vallans’s life in detail: an ordinary high school student became legendary overnight and soon became a tragic plane crash.

This film not only records his early death, but also touches on the racial conflicts throughout Los Angeles in the late 1950s and the hardships of Hispanics. However, the core of the film is to reiterate Vallans’s enduring influence on pop music: as a result, the film did make Los Lobos’ reinterpretation of Vallans’s classic music reach the top of the record charts.

The Doors) 1991)

When the film was released, the late Roger Ebert, a well-known film critic, complained: "The process of watching this film is like a person who doesn’t drink and is forced to sit in a bar with an annoying drunk." It may be true, but director Oliver Stone has a magnificent sense of movement and absurdity for the commemoration of Jim Morrison, the lead singer of the "Gate" band. The film shows rock and roll to the extreme, and even if it is destroyed, it will be destroyed spectacularly.

Morrison, played by Val Kilmer, is the most wonderful performance in his career. Instead of mythologizing the singer who died young at the age of 27, he represented the hedonism of Los Angeles in the 1960 s by portraying him after being drugged by hormones, alcohol and drugs. His interpretation of Morrison is both like a hero and absurd, full of nonsense and poetic.

As for Morrison, director Si Tong didn’t judge him, but only created a psychedelic voice and a picture of ecstasy. However, the audience who experienced a crazy trip in the film should not want to imitate Morrison’s self-destructive behavior.

Although the soundtrack of "Years of Passion" can’t be said to be a real reproduction of the original sound-those songs were re-interpreted by a super group including Thurston Moore, Dave Grohl, Mike Mills and Greg Dulli, but the anarchic energy they burst out was enough to make up for this shortcoming. The film focuses on The Beatles’ early experience of singing in Hamburg, Germany. At that time, they were still covering other people’s works, which also made it less regrettable not to use the original sound.

This film focuses on the story of idol characters before they become idols, focusing on finding those personality characteristics in them that will make them immortal soon. Ian Hart plays John Lennon, the lead singer of the Beatles, for the second time after The Hours and Times directed by Christopher Münch. His feeling is a little weird, which is not just a simple imitation, but an introduction of thoughts and feelings.

However, the focus of the film is not only on John Lennon. Director Iain Softley wisely focused the spotlight on the forgotten early members of the Beatles, especially the hapless bassist Stuart Sutcliffe played by Stephen Dorff.

The Last Days) 2005)

When Nirvana’s lead singer Kurt Cobain died, he did not forget to tell us that "better to burn out than fade away". However, the doppelganger of Kurt Cobain shown by director Gus Van Sant in "The Last Days" has faded so much that he is almost an invisible man.

In that big empty house in the forest of Washington State, Blake, the hero played by Michael Pitt (Kurt Cobain’s name is not used in this film), walks slowly back and forth, surrounded by a group of parasites who only notice his existence when he reaches out and asks for money or drugs. It seems that he doesn’t look like a person who is about to commit suicide, but more like a walking corpse who has already lost his life-the soul is dead, just waiting for the body to end.

The film imagines a rock star’s suicide path, replaces the explanation with ambiguity, explains everything clearly and tells the whole story so that the audience can feel comfortable, thus launching a challenge. The film itself is as confusing and fragmented as those lyrics written by Kurt Cobain, but there is no cathartic anger in his lyrics at all.

I’m not there (2007)

Bob Dylan can be said to be one of the greatest "chameleons" in the history of rock music. It is not easy to cover his whole life with one movie. Therefore, Todd Haynes, a director who knows the spirit of rock and roll, adopted such an approach. He divided Dylan’s whole life into several parts according to different times and influences, and invited Cate Blanchett, richard gere, Christian Bale, Ben Whishaw and others to interpret every different fragment of Dylan’s rich and colorful life mosaic respectively.

After watching this movie, it will undoubtedly make the audience have no idea about Bob Dylan’s life, but it will make them more curious about him. Instead of adopting the traditional biographical film method of chronological memorabilia, it captures the essence of Dylan at a higher level: for so many years, he constantly reformed himself and rebuilt the whole world. On a certain level, it seems that this film only dabbles in a variety of film styles-imitating the looks and feelings of Ge Daer, A Hard Day’s Night, Eight and a Half, and the American New School Westerns in the 1970s, respectively, but on a deeper level, the film’s wonderful exploration of Dylan himself is as energetic as Dylan himself.

Control) 2007)

Anton Corbijn, a photographer, has been dealing with rock stars for a long time, taking photos for rock musicians with different styles, from U2 to "Depeche Mode" to Tom Waits. Therefore, it’s not surprising that his directorial debut is aimed at rock musicians.

In this biopic of Ian Curtis, the lead singer of Joy Division, the hero played by Sam Riley was a melancholy young man long before he killed himself at the age of 23. However, this drama, which focuses on simplicity, can really make people realize that kind of sadness because it shows the depression that Curtis can’t get rid of all his short life without creating any illusion. In this way, the film avoids the typical route of "from poor to rich and then back to poor" in biographies: Curtis of Riley is not an angry egoist, on the contrary, he is a tortured soul in his heart, and he turns his pain into beautiful music until he is finally swallowed up by it. Like the record of "Happy Team", the film itself has a most direct and diffuse sense of desolation.

Nicole in 1988 (Nico, 1988) 2017

The film focuses on the last year of a woman named Christa P?ffgen (Nicole’s real name), rather than Nicole’s lovely eyes and graceful figure when she is with The Velvet Underground. At the age of 49, she tried to get rid of the label of "Nicole", so she declared: "My life began with leaving underground velvet." She said that she originally wanted to grow old gracefully and calmly, but there were ugly wrinkles on her face and fat on her body. While being trapped by drugs, he is worried about his son who has a tendency to self-destruction; The only constant is that her voice is still hoarse and deep, and she still uses up all her strength when singing. Through this movie, we understand that this woman can never be who she really wants to be throughout her life.

In addition to the excellent atmosphere control of Italian female directors Susanna Nicchiarelli, the interpretation of Danish actress Trine Dyrholm is also the essence of this film: she not only has the right expression and manner, but also has a high degree of restoration when she personally sings Nicole’s masterpieces such as "These Days", "My Heart is Empty" and "Big in Japan".

　　BEIJING, Beijing, June 22 (Qiu Yu) In the rapidly developing health care industry, the elderly have become the main force of consumption. According to the data of china health care association, the annual sales of health care products in China is about 200 billion yuan, of which the consumption of the elderly accounts for more than 50%.

　　According to the report released by China Consumers Association, about 70% of consumers are not satisfied with the domestic health food market. According to a survey conducted by a reporter from Zhongxin. com (WeChat WeChat official account: cns2012), many health care products companies play the family card and use false and exaggerated marketing methods to fool the elderly into buying products. When the elderly find problems, they fall into the dilemma of safeguarding their rights.

　　[event]

　　University retired teachers and couples spend 500,000 yuan on health care products.

　　Ms. Liu’s mother is 78 years old. She and her wife are both retired university teachers. They receive a total pension of 15,000 yuan per month, but they have bought all their savings for health care products. "In eight years, the two old people spent at least 500,000 yuan on health care products, and even secretly borrowed money from old colleagues to buy them."

　　"Parents buy health care products to save money, and they only eat one meal when eating out. But now you must drink 100 ml of oral liquid after meals, just like soup, "Ms. Liu said." However, my father is getting thinner and thinner, and the doctor has repeatedly mentioned that he is malnourished. "

　　"Mother’s leg joint is not good, and she insists on not going to the hospital. However, she spent at least 100,000 yuan in a health care product company, saying that she could support the elderly and eat health care products for free. "She questioned that the health care product company did not even issue a contract, let alone mention how to provide for the elderly. Ms. Liu is somewhat helpless about this.

　　As for the reason why her mother is addicted to buying health care products, Ms. Liu said that the health care product salesman went door-to-door every day and "washed her brain".

　　[Secret]

　　Salesmen play the "family card" and kneel down to market.

　　Why are the elderly easily fooled by health care product salesmen? Wang Dahong, secretary-general of china health care association Health Products Market Working Committee, told reporters that the elderly are eager to be cared for and afraid of loneliness, but many elderly people’s children are not around and don’t have enough time to take care of them. Some illegal marketers take advantage of the psychological vacancy of the elderly and induce them to buy products through spiritual comfort and other means.

　　According to recent media reports, an old man in Guangdong spent 200,000 yuan on health care products in four years, saying that "because of loneliness and money, I hope someone will spend more time with me".

　　A health care product salesman revealed that core information can be obtained from the elderly through home visits, including their economic conditions, physical condition and who is in charge at home.

　　Ms. Liu said that the old couple is usually the mother. More than a dozen salesmen from different health care products marketing companies frequently visit their homes and sometimes send some cheap flour and fruit. Mother’s knees were not good, and a female salesman even knelt on the ground to apply essential oil and massage to the elderly, which made her very moved.

　　The reporter learned that "family offensive" is a common means for some health care product salesmen. Many salesmen even call "mom and dad, grandparents" as soon as they come to the door, and also help the elderly to do housework and chat.

　　Brainwash the elderly by organizing meetings and traveling.

　　After playing the "family card", health care products companies will further brainwash the elderly by sending product benefits, organizing meetings, and free medical treatment.

　　The reporter found that some health care products companies sent a variety of "benefits", including "old cadres’ special medicine and food homologous products ‘ Fengling Capsule ’ " "Life Soft Rubber Magnetic Energy Watch" and "Human Meridian Acupoint Physical Therapy Pen".

　　Ms. Liu’s mother has a special health notebook with the time and place of various health care products marketing activities written on it, as well as celebrity lectures with titles such as "academician, tutor, professor and doctor". Ms. Liu said that in an activity, a famous doctor who claimed to have seen the doctor for the leader knelt on the stage and kowtowed to the old people and shouted "Mom and Dad". As a result, her mother spent 10,000 yuan to buy "egg albumin that can save lives".

　　The reporter contacted a health care product salesman. From the video sent by his WeChat circle of friends, a middle-aged man introduced the product impassioned on the stage, and dozens of old people raised their hands enthusiastically.

　　However, many health care products marketing places prohibit young people from entering, on the grounds that "services are only provided to the elderly". The reporter tried to contact several salesmen in the name of buying products, but they were very vigilant and asked for the name of the "introducer" and refused to disclose the venue of the event.

　　[investigation]

　　Some health foods purchased by the elderly are fakes.

　　The photos provided by Ms. Liu show that all kinds of health care products are piled up on the floor of her parents’ home, including 50,000 yuan magnetic therapy mattress and bedspread, 8,000 yuan box of ant Polygonatum, thousands of yuan of sea bird’s nest, formula goat milk powder and anti-radiation oral liquid, bone collagen capsules, etc.

　　The reporter found that some of the "health food" purchased by the elderly did not have the "blue hat sign" approved by china food and drug administration. For example, a salesman’s so-called "blood bird’s nest" bought by the elderly costs 5,000 yuan for two boxes, which not only lacks the logo, but is actually a bird’s nest under the sea, that is, coral grass, which is not a bird’s nest at all.

　　The old man also bought a 15,000 yuan "optical quantum chip" underwear. According to the specification, this chip is made according to Einstein’s quantum physics and imported from Japan. Previously, the media had exposed the so-called "optical quantum chip" scam, saying that it was impossible to find the medical device registration number marked in the manual in china food and drug administration.

　　"Anti-tumor, Longevity" Some advertisements for health products exaggerate their efficacy.

　　China food and drug administration issued circulars in November last year and April this year, saying that several health food advertisements were monitored and all contained unscientific efficacy assertions. And using the patient’s name or image to prove the efficacy, which deceives and misleads consumers and seriously endangers the public’s food and drug safety.

　　The reporter found that some health care products companies printed words such as "anti-tumor", "longevity" and "energy" on their leaflets. However, regarding the "healing" effect of health food, the Food Safety Law clearly stipulates that "the labels and instructions of health food shall not involve the functions of disease prevention and treatment."

　　The China Consumers Association recently released a report saying that for the elderly and patients, the role of false propaganda and health care treatment is exaggerated by conference marketing, and many of them are not health foods, such as edible fungi products promoting tumor suppression and endocrine regulation, and "clearing food" fruit and vegetable juice claiming detoxification, beauty care and weight loss.

　　[Expert statement]

　　Which health care products marketing methods are suspected of being illegal?

　　Is it legal to conduct marketing in the form of lectures and conferences? Yan Bing, a lawyer of Beijing Times Jiuhe Law Firm, pointed out in an interview that this marketing method itself is not illegal, but it does have the phenomenon of "using legal forms to cover up illegal purposes", such as giving lectures by people without medical qualifications, fabricating or exaggerating the diseases of the elderly during free clinics, and publicizing the curative effect of health care products. These are all illegal acts, and even criminal offences in serious cases.

　　According to "Regulations on the Implementation of People’s Republic of China (PRC) Food Safety Law (Revised Draft for Comment)", those who make false, exaggerated or deceptive propaganda and sales of health foods, formula foods for special medical purposes and other foods and food additives by telephone, lectures, meetings, organizing tours, etc., shall be confiscated by the food and drug supervision and administration department of the people’s government at or above the county level, and the organizer shall be fined between 50,000 yuan and 200,000 yuan; If a crime is constituted, criminal responsibility shall be investigated according to law.

　　Wang Dahong also told reporters that the essence of marketing such as lectures and conferences is a business model, and this model itself is not right or wrong. He emphasized that "lectures, conferences and other marketing are like a kitchen knife. If it is used to cut vegetables, it is a good deed; If it is used to kill people, it is evil. "

　　Consumer rights protection faces difficulties in obtaining evidence.

　　The Law on the Protection of Consumers’ Rights and Interests stipulates that consumers may demand compensation from operators if their legitimate rights and interests are damaged because they use false advertisements or other false propaganda methods to provide goods or services. But in reality, consumers are facing difficulties in defending their rights, and the difficulty in obtaining evidence is one of the problems.

　　Regarding the damage to consumers’ rights and interests caused by false propaganda, the reporter called the "12315" consumer complaint reporting hotline set up by the State Administration for Industry and Commerce for consultation. The staff said that if only the salesman verbally exaggerated the efficacy of health care products, and there was no problem with the product manual, it would not be accepted. She said that even if consumers have recorded evidence, it will not work, because the industrial and commercial departments "only look at written documents."

　　The reporter then called the "12331" food and drug complaint hotline. The staff said that if there is a complaint, the specific location and name of the merchant should be provided, otherwise it will not be accepted. She suggested that consumers go to regular pharmacies to buy health care products, because many salesmen have no fixed places.

　　Yan Bing said that if the health care products themselves have no quality problems and consumers have no written evidence, there is indeed a problem of safeguarding rights. If consumers think that they have bought health care products with "inflated prices", although legally speaking, they can terminate the contract with the seller, but the seller has the right to set prices independently, so it is difficult to defend their rights in reality. If you bring a lawsuit to the court, you have to bear higher costs.

　　According to the report released by China Consumers Association, as many as 76.03% of consumers are most looking forward to "strengthening government supervision and law enforcement and cracking down on false propaganda". At the same time, they hope that the competent authorities will improve laws and regulations and increase scientific consumption propaganda, and actively respond to the doubts and concerns of consumers.

　　On February 28, farmers drove a self-propelled high-pole sprayer to spray wheat in the Emperor’s Temple Village, Yuyue Town, Deqing County, Huzhou City, Zhejiang Province. Xinhua News Agency (photo by Xie Shangguo)

　　Self-reliance of agricultural science and technology is the only way to achieve a strong agricultural country, the key to ensuring national food security, and an important measure to accelerate the modernization of agriculture and rural areas and comprehensively promote rural revitalization. To achieve high-level agricultural science and technology self-reliance, we should base ourselves on China’s national conditions and agricultural conditions, keep a close eye on the forefront of world agricultural science and technology, speed up key core technology research, and shape new kinetic energy and advantages of high-quality agricultural development with scientific and technological innovation.

　　◎ Our reporter Ma Aiping

　　The most arduous and arduous task of building a socialist modern country in an all-round way is still in the countryside.

　　The 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China drew a grand blueprint for comprehensively promoting the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation with Chinese modernization, and proposed for the first time to accelerate the construction of an agricultural power. In 2023, the No.1 Document of the Central Committee anchored the goal of accelerating the construction of an agricultural power and released a strong signal of accelerating the construction of an agricultural power.

　　"Facing the future, on the new journey of modernization, implementing the innovation-driven development strategy and adhering to the road of Chinese-style agricultural and rural modernization is the only way to build an agricultural power." Zhang Fusuo, deputy to the National People’s Congress and academician of China Academy of Engineering, said in an interview with the reporter of Science and Technology Daily.

　　Agricultural power is rich in connotation.

　　"Accelerating the construction of an agricultural power is the overall plan of the CPC Central Committee ‘ Two overall situations ’ , focusing on building a socialist modernization power in an all-round way, for a new era and a new journey ‘ Agriculture, countryside and farmers ’ The strategic deployment made by the work points out that ‘ Agriculture, countryside and farmers ’ The historical coordinates and the direction of endeavor. " On February 14th, Tang Renjian, director of the Office of the Central Leading Group for Rural Work and Minister of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, said at a series of press conferences on the theme of "Opening by Authorities" held in the State Council Press Office.

　　"China is a big agricultural country, but it is not a strong agricultural country, mainly because our competitiveness is not very strong, and there is still a gap between some essential requirements of agricultural modernization. Therefore, the goal of accelerating the construction of an agricultural power is in line with the reality of China and our future development direction. " Li Chenggui, deputy to the National People’s Congress and president of the Beijing Academy of Agriculture and Forestry, said.

　　Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, China’s agricultural and rural modernization has made historic changes. The grain production capacity has stabilized at more than 650 million tons, the contribution rate of agricultural scientific and technological progress has exceeded 61%, the coverage rate of improved varieties of crops has exceeded 96%, and the comprehensive mechanization level of crop cultivation and harvest has exceeded 72%… …

　　"But compared with the international developed level, there are still many shortcomings and gaps in China. Generally speaking, China’s agricultural modernization is in the process of accelerating the expansion from agricultural modernization to rural modernization ‘ Meeting period ’ , the driving force of development is in the drive from factor to innovation ‘ Transition period ’ 。” Shen Jianzhong, member of Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference and academician of China Academy of Engineering, said.

　　Tang Renjian said that the connotation of an agricultural power is very rich, including both the development of productive forces and the transformation of production relations; It includes not only the all-round upgrading of agriculture, but also the all-round progress of rural areas and the all-round development of farmers. On the one hand, we must have the common characteristics of a strong agricultural country. It is necessary to follow the general law of agricultural modernization, find gaps, make up shortcomings, promote advantages, and build an agricultural power with strong supply security, strong scientific and technological equipment, strong management system, strong industrial resilience and strong competitiveness. On the other hand, we should reflect the characteristics of China based on the national conditions. China’s resource endowment with a large population and a small land, the historical background of farming civilization and the requirements of the times of harmonious coexistence between man and nature determine that we must rely on our own strength to secure our rice bowls and strive to embark on a road of agricultural modernization with China characteristics.

　　Science and technology empower agricultural power

　　"The process of building an agricultural power is also a process of applying modern technology and modern equipment, and a process of deeply tapping the development potential of agriculture. Science and technology is a key factor affecting the competitiveness of a strong agricultural country, and science and technology can move up the possibility boundary of production. " Li Chenggui told reporters that the most fundamental thing to build an agricultural power is to realize science and technology to empower agriculture and arm agriculture with agricultural science and technology.

　　The most essential feature of building a new development pattern is to achieve a high level of self-reliance. Without first-class agricultural science and technology, it is impossible to build a world agricultural power.

　　"Compared with developed countries, China’s agricultural science and technology independent innovation ability is still insufficient, the intensity of scientific and technological investment is low, and the efficiency of scientific and technological innovation system is not high, which has become an important shortcoming that restricts the high-quality development of agriculture. It is necessary to further enhance the strategic position of scientific and technological innovation in national agricultural and rural work, establish the priority development strategy of agricultural scientific and technological innovation, vigorously strengthen government support, accelerate independent innovation, give play to the advantages of the new national system, focus on breaking through the subversive and original frontier theory of major agricultural foundations, make every effort to win the tough battle of key agricultural technologies, strive to seize the commanding heights of world agricultural scientific and technological competition, and build a food security system and a high-level scientific and technological support system of self-reliance. Only by firmly grasping the initiative of China’s agricultural science and technology development can we ensure that China will move from an agricultural power to an agricultural power. This is both a key move and a decisive one. " Shen Jianzhong said.

　　Grain is safe in the world, and the cornerstone is planted. "Seed industry has made an important contribution to the agricultural development in China. The coverage rate of improved varieties of crops in China is over 96%, and the contribution rate of improved varieties to yield increase is 45%. As a whole, the seed industry has made rapid progress. However, there are still some structural problems, such as rapid progress in planting and breeding, and relatively lagging behind in animal husbandry breeding. " Li Chenggui said that from the perspective of development goals, crop breeding needs to be further strengthened and strengthened, and international competitiveness should be strengthened. In the future, animal husbandry should be more self-reliant and strengthen its independent research and development capabilities; From the perspective of path and policy, crop breeding needs more research and development in the form of cooperation between science and enterprises, while animal husbandry should stick to enterprises as the main body, because animal husbandry breeding needs quantitative genetic observation of large populations, and enterprises have more advantages in this respect. In addition, the development of animal husbandry should focus on introduction and improvement, and at the same time tap some local genetic resources, and gradually form independent varieties in the process of improvement. In seed industry management, it is necessary to strengthen the protection of intellectual property rights, further stimulate the enthusiasm of scientists and breeders, and further standardize market behavior to make enterprises develop healthily.

　　Reasonable layout and solid progress

　　Building a strong agricultural country is a long-term task and systematic project, so we should pay attention to methods, especially to grasp the timing and efficiency.

　　Tang Renjian said that to speed up the construction of an agricultural power, first, we must accurately understand the work layout of agriculture, rural areas and farmers. Building a strong agricultural country is in the same strain as comprehensively promoting rural revitalization, with the same goal and unified process. At present, we should focus on promoting rural revitalization in an all-round way, do a good job in connecting the policy system with the work system, keep the focus unchanged, change the theme, adjust the channels, and maintain the continuity of work. The second is to strengthen overall planning. We will promptly study and formulate plans for the construction of a strong agricultural country, make overall planning and systematic arrangements, clarify road maps and construction drawings, and make solid and powerful progress. The third is to highlight the actual results. Focus on solving the practical problems that are most urgent in the development of local agriculture and rural areas and most strongly reflected by farmers, so that farmers can feel a real sense of gain, happiness and security in the process of rural revitalization.

　　Specifically, agricultural modernization depends on science and technology, and science and technology ultimately depends on people. "China’s agricultural science and technology workers group is the largest agricultural research group in the world. Report to the 20th CPC National Congress mentioned that science and technology are the primary productive forces, talents are the primary resources and innovation is the primary driving force. This is completely in line with the basic laws of human progress. " Li Chenggui believes that today, Chinese scientists enjoy excellent scientific research conditions and environment, and the vast number of agricultural science and technology workers should carry forward the scientific spirit, learn from the fine qualities of the older generation of scientists, and concentrate on scientific research around the high-quality development of agriculture and rural revitalization.

　　The Party’s Report to the 20th CPC National Congress pointed out that it is necessary to promote green development and harmonious coexistence between man and nature.

　　"China is a big agricultural producer, and agriculture shoulders a very important and arduous task in promoting the harmonious and symbiotic development between man and nature and promoting carbon neutrality in peak carbon dioxide emissions. China’s agricultural development faces various risk pressures, such as farmland degradation, biological disasters, water and soil resource constraints, agricultural pollution, food safety, and ‘ Double carbon ’ Target pressure, agricultural green transformation is imperative but very difficult. It is necessary to give priority to the development of green agriculture in the transformation and upgrading of agricultural modernization, increase institutional innovation and policy innovation in agricultural green development, form a green agricultural technology support system and policy guarantee system with China characteristics, and make every effort to build a new modern agricultural development pattern with carbon reduction, foreign exchange increase, green, high quality and increased production. " Zhang Fusuo said.

Second, it puts special emphasis on the improvement of the employability of retired military personnel, and stipulates that retired military personnel can enjoy lifelong vocational skills training. In the past, it was limited to a period of time after retirement, and the free training within one year after retirement can be extended to any time after retirement. This is a great change.

　　Qian Feng also stressed that the conditions for institutions, enterprises and institutions to recruit retired military personnel will be appropriately relaxed, and a certain number of grass-roots civil servants will be set up to recruit retired military personnel. At the same time, it is necessary to formulate a job directory suitable for the employment and entrepreneurship of retired military personnel, and enterprises and institutions that recruit retired military personnel enjoy certain preferential tax policies. Encourage social capital to set up a venture fund for retired military personnel, build a platform for employment and entrepreneurship service information for retired military personnel, and make full use of big data to provide accurate services.

　　An online petition system will be set up to ensure reasonable demand

　　At today’s press conference of the State Council Information Office, Fang Yongxiang, Vice Minister of Veterans Affairs, answered a reporter’s question about the current situation of letters and visits and the next arrangement of letters and visits.

　　Fang Yongxiang said that since the establishment of the Department of Veterans Affairs more than three months ago, the problems reflected by letters and visits have been concentrated in five aspects: the implementation of resettlement policies, the identification of identity, the standard of special care, and the special difficulties in life. In addition, some of them reflect the problems related to law and litigation. In view of these problems, the Department of Veterans Affairs has classified, analyzed and summarized them, and worked out solutions one by one, urging local governments to implement policies and guiding local governments to carry out personalized solutions. At the same time, a working group was sent to the places where the problems were concentrated to supervise and promote the solution of the problems.

　　On this basis, in the next step, the Department of Veterans Affairs will open an online petition system to improve the efficiency of petition, and at the same time further improve the workflow to ensure the legitimate and reasonable needs of veterans.

　　Fang Yongxiang, Assistant Director of the Political Work Department of the Central Military Commission and Deputy Minister of Veterans Affairs: strengthen supervision and inspection, strengthen supervision over letters and visits including the implementation of relevant policies, and improve the ability to solve problems and implement policies. Comprehensively sort out opinions and suggestions, and incorporate good and constructive ones into our policies and legislation. Improve the rules, procedures and specific measures to improve the effectiveness of handling and petitioning according to law.

　　Retired soldiers have priority to enjoy basic social security.

　　At today’s press conference, Sun Shaocheng, Minister of Veterans Affairs, also said that veterans who have a difficult life will be given priority to enjoy the basic social security system to ensure their basic living needs.

　　Sun Shaocheng introduced that according to the current policy, there are two main steps to solve the difficult problems of special care recipients and ex-servicemen. In the first step, they are given priority to the most basic universal social security system, and on this basis, they will enjoy special preferential treatment and pensions for retired soldiers and special care recipients.

　　Sun Shaocheng, Minister of Veterans AffairsFor example, if a special care recipient or a retired soldier has difficulties in living, he can first apply for subsistence allowances. When he is determined to be the target of subsistence allowances, all the preferential payments and pensions he enjoys are not included in the calculation of family income, that is, he will continue to enjoy preferential treatment and pensions after enjoying subsistence allowances.

　　Secondly, for some veterans who have special difficulties in providing for the aged and medical care, the Department of Veterans Affairs is formulating new policies to provide them with personalized services to solve their worries.
