People’s Network Review: "Three Advocates" Promote the Construction of a Community of Cyberspace Destiny to a New Stage

  On November 8, 2023, world internet conference Wuzhen Summit kicked off. The Supreme Leader of president delivered a video address to the opening ceremony of the summit, focusing on jointly promoting the construction of a community of cyberspace destiny to a new stage, proposing "advocating development priority, building a more inclusive and prosperous cyberspace", "advocating safety and security, building a more peaceful and secure cyberspace" and "advocating mutual learning of civilizations and building a more equal and inclusive cyberspace". This speech clearly highlights the global vision and feelings of the big party and big country, and leads human society to take a solid step towards building a community of cyberspace destiny.

  At the opening ceremony of the second world internet conference in 2015, the Chairman of the Supreme Leader put forward the "four principles" and "five propositions" of global Internet development and governance, and advocated the construction of a community of cyberspace destiny, which was widely recognized and positively responded by the international community. World internet conference has now entered its tenth year. Facing the new situation and new tasks, the proposal of "Three Advocates" embodies a profound grasp of the development law of human society in the information age, and reflects the deepening of the concept of promoting the construction of a community of cyberspace destiny and the consolidation of its actions, which provides a Chinese plan for the development, governance and exchange of cyberspace and shows the wisdom of China.

  The wind is strong and the spring tide is strong. In the information revolution era, the internet is increasingly becoming a new kinetic energy to promote development, a new platform for maintaining security in Xinjiang and mutual learning among civilizations. Cyberspace bears the infinite vision of human beings for a better future. At the same time, today’s world is chaotic and intertwined, and the changes in the past 100 years have accelerated its evolution. Challenges are emerging one after another and risks are increasing day by day. The issues of the times faced by all mankind, such as reducing the development deficit, solving the security dilemma and strengthening mutual learning among civilizations, are increasingly prominent in cyberspace. Building a community of destiny in cyberspace is not only an inevitable choice to answer the topic of the times, but also the common voice of the international community. The "Three Advocates" have established the important principles of network governance, such as giving priority to development, sharing security and mutual learning among civilizations, opening the way for all parties to deepen exchanges and pragmatic cooperation, and pointing out the direction and path for jointly promoting the construction of a community of cyberspace destiny to a new stage.

  The power of doing is to know more, and the deeper you know, the more you can do. In terms of development, the digital divide between different countries, regions, industries, enterprises and communities is puzzling the sustainable development of the information age. The key to solving the bottleneck of development lies in advocating development priority and inclusive development, so that more countries and people can share the fruits of Internet development. In terms of security, we should respect network sovereignty, respect the Internet development path and governance mode of various countries, abide by the international rules of cyberspace, and consolidate the cornerstone of cyberspace security. Do not engage in cyber hegemony and camp confrontation, crack down on cyber crimes, strengthen data security and personal information protection, promote the safe development of artificial intelligence, and build a protective embankment for cyber security from all aspects. In terms of civilization, the exchange of civilizations and mutual learning is an important driving force to promote the richness of cyberspace. Strengthening online communication and dialogue and strengthening the construction of network civilization will help to better carry forward the common values of all mankind and build an online spiritual home.

  Work together to expand the route, and set sail after ten years. Cyberspace is the common activity space and spiritual home of mankind. Working together to build a more inclusive, peaceful, safe, equal and inclusive cyberspace is related to the sovereign security of all countries and the well-being of people, and to the process of human civilization and the future and destiny. Guided by the "Three Advocates" and joining hands with the international community to write a new chapter in network development and governance, China’s determination is firm and China’s actions are indomitable.

Make up for the "efficiency deficit" and solve the "contradiction between supply and demand", and China and Pakistan will work together to promote the reform of the global governance system.

  Introduction: The current global governance system is affected by political polarization, and the "efficiency deficit" is prominent. On the one hand, developed countries do not have enough ability and willingness to provide global public goods, on the other hand, they are unwilling to transfer more power to developing countries, resulting in two "supply and demand contradictions" in international governance. It is difficult for developing countries to deeply participate in global governance and promote the democratic reform of global governance. China and Brazil, as the largest developing countries and important representatives of emerging powers in the eastern and western hemispheres, will continue to carry out efficient and sustainable bilateral cooperation, twist into a rope with the vast number of developing countries, and work together to promote the reform of the global governance system.

  China and Brazil are the main representatives of emerging powers. They are in an important period of national modernization and rising international influence, and their international identities are facing a key transformation from "peripheral powers" to "central countries". Since the beginning of the new century, with the strong impetus of economic and trade relations and the promotion of South-South cooperation, China-Pakistan relations have made a leap-forward breakthrough with richer international connotations. Promoting the reform of the global governance system has become an important topic in the strategic dialogue between China and Pakistan, which is also the key reason why the international community is paying more and more attention to the development trend of China-Pakistan relations.

  Both China and Pakistan advocate the reform of the current global governance system, and hold similar positions on major international issues such as the reform of the international financial system, food security, energy security, climate change, the UN Millennium Development Goals, and global security governance. They both adhere to the principle of multilateralism, advocate the democratization of international relations and the multipolarization of the world, emphasize the concept of a new international political and economic order, and defend the development and security rights of developing countries. China and Pakistan hold common reform demands and similar reform positions, laying an important foundation for the two countries to expand bilateral cooperation in major international affairs.

  Since the beginning of the new millennium, the two countries have cooperated closely in international multilateral mechanisms such as the United Nations, the International Monetary Fund, the World Trade Organization, the World Bank, and the G-20. Especially through the platform of BRICS, China and Pakistan have achieved more extensive cooperation with other developing countries (especially large developing countries), which has enhanced the overall voice of developing countries in global governance and promoted the gradual establishment of a new world political and economic order and an international multipolar pattern.

  From the overall context of the development of China-Pakistan bilateral relations, global governance cooperation has become a significant growth point of China-Pakistan cooperation since the new century, and South-South cooperation, including China-Pakistan cooperation, has actually promoted the redistribution of global power resources. Although the developing countries are far from achieving an international status that matches their overall strength, their global governance concept has attracted higher international attention, which fully shows that multilateral cooperation has become an effective way for developing countries to enhance their participation in global governance.

  At present, the theme of "peace and development" is facing unprecedented challenges, and the "efficiency deficit" of global governance is prominent. Generally speaking, the current predicament of global governance mainly stems from two groups of contradictions between supply and demand. The first group of contradictions is the contradiction between the arduous task of global governance and the decline of the ability and willingness of the leaders of the governance system to provide public goods. At this stage, influenced by political polarization, the narrow nationalism, protectionism and populism of developed countries in the United States and Europe are on the rise. In the process of participating in globalization, they emphasize the maximization of their own interests, and their willingness and ability to participate in global governance and provide public goods are greatly reduced, and even the phenomenon of withdrawing from international multilateral cooperation mechanisms at will appears, which is in great contrast to the situation in which developed countries led the promotion of global governance in the rapid development stage of economic globalization in the past. Moreover, the problems of "democracy deficit", "responsibility deficit" and "trust deficit" existing in global governance are more prominent, and the reform of global governance system is very necessary and urgent.

  Another set of contradictions is the contradiction between the great demand of developing countries to participate in international governance and the small transfer of power in developed countries. In the process of the transformation of the international system, the vast number of emerging markets and developing countries have put forward reasonable demands for participating in global governance, demanding the reform of the global rule system dominated by western developed countries, changing the global governance rules oriented to the interests of developed countries, and paying more attention to the interests of developing countries (even all mankind). However, with the comparative change of global strength and the relative weakness of its own strength, the West hopes to continue to master the leading role of global governance at a lower cost. In other words, the leading party of the global governance system does not agree with or accept the new participants. This makes it more difficult for global effective governance, global governance reform and international system transformation to fit together, which leads to the lag of global governance mechanism that is not commensurate with the global power structure.

  Obviously, the above two groups of contradictions between supply and demand form a two-way constraint on multilateralism, which is bound to create obstacles for developing countries to expand their participation in global governance and promote the democratic reform of global governance. Although multilateralism is in crisis, it is still the priority path for developing countries to carry out international cooperation. First, multilateralism can effectively reduce the cost of emerging powers participating in global governance; Second, multilateralism helps to alleviate the asymmetry of decision-making influence between emerging powers and established powers.

  China-Pakistan relations have a solid foundation for cooperation. At present, the world outlook, security outlook and development outlook of the two governments are highly consistent, and they have similar positions on the reform of the global governance system, which provides a favorable environment of mutual trust for deepening cooperation. In the next stage, the development focus of China-Pakistan relations is mainly reflected in the following two levels.

  First, maintain the efficiency and sustainability of bilateral cooperation. The development of relations between countries should be based on the integration of interests of both sides, and the degree of interest consistency is the key factor to determine the efficiency of bilateral relations. The trade structure between China and China is highly complementary. Brazil is an important partner of to ensure energy, resources and food security, and also a major supplier of soybeans, corn, iron ore and oil. At present, China and Pakistan still have a large space to "make a big economic and trade cake", especially the agricultural products trade has great potential. At the investment level, we should pay more attention to Brazil’s energy, infrastructure, mining, agriculture and other fields, especially focusing on the two major fields of energy and infrastructure, which have a large investment gap in Brazil. Considering Brazil’s "re-industrialization" demand, achieving higher quality integration of industrial chain will be the development direction of bilateral investment relations in the future.

  Second, firmly defend multilateralism and work together to promote global governance reform. As the largest developing countries in the eastern and western hemispheres, China and Brazil shoulder the mission of safeguarding the legitimate rights and interests of developing countries, and should also be the core forces to promote the reform of the global governance system. Especially in the situation that globalization is going against the current, multilateralism is facing difficulties and the efficiency of global governance is shrinking, on the one hand, China and Brazil should strengthen the coordination of their positions on major global issues. We should make good use of multilateral mechanisms such as G20, BRICS and Basic Four countries (Brazil, South Africa, India and China) and strive to form a unified voice. On the other hand, we should strengthen interaction and cooperation with other developing countries to stimulate new vitality of South-South cooperation. Only when developing countries form a strong reform force can the reform of global governance system make a fundamental breakthrough.

  [Introduction to Representative]

  Liu Xiuxiang was born in a small mountain village in Wangmo County, Guizhou Province. His father died of illness when he was 4 years old, and his mother suffered from intermittent mental illness and lost her ability to take care of herself. The suffering of fate didn’t crush him. He studied hard and made a living by collecting waste products. After being admitted to a university thousands of miles away, in order to take care of his mother, he "carried his mother to college thousands of miles away", and the story of his humble son touched countless people.

  Liu Xiuxiang, who once walked out of the mountains desperately, resolutely chose to return to his hometown to teach after graduating from college in 2012. His goal is clear. He inspires and guides more children in the mountains to study with his own experience, and changes their destiny with knowledge. In the past 10 years, Liu Xiuxiang has persuaded students everywhere, and more than 1,800 dropouts have returned to school because of him. He also sponsored more than 4,200 poor students and gave more than 2,000 public welfare lectures. He was rated as the "most beautiful teacher" in China, and won the May 4th Medal of China Youth and the May 1st Labor Medal of China.

  Qiushi. com reporter: General Secretary of the Supreme Leader comprehensively summed up the work in the past five years and the great changes in the new era in the past 10 years in the Report to the 20th CPC National Congress of the Party. Please talk about your understanding and experience in combination with reality.

  Representative Liu Xiuxiang:The report of the Supreme Leader’s General Secretary is inspiring, inspiring and gives people infinite strength. My hometown, Wangmo County, is located deep in the mountains and was once a deep poverty-stricken county in Guizhou Province. Today’s Wangmo, the traffic conditions have been greatly improved, the characteristic industries have developed in an all-round way, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the economy and society have made all-round progress. Especially the changes in education. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Party and the government have effectively increased investment in education in rural areas, mountainous areas and remote areas, and Wangmo’s educational infrastructure has been improved in an all-round way. Now the most beautiful house and the best environment in the county are schools. The quality of education has improved in an all-round way. In 2012, only 70 people in the county were admitted to universities, and by 2022, there will be more than 1,300 people. Nowadays, persuasion has become a "past tense". People pay attention to education and talk about it all the time. Children in the mountains have a better way out and more choices.

  Wang Mo’s change is the epitome of the great changes in the new era in the past 10 years. As a grass-roots teacher, I have been fortunate to witness and participate in the development of education in my hometown in the past 10 years. I feel extremely proud when I see the earth-shaking changes in my hometown and motherland, and it has also strengthened my confidence and determination to take root in the grassroots, teach and educate people, and strive for the cause of the party and the people.

  Qiushi. com reporter: The Party’s Report to the 20th CPC National Congress put forward that "we should give priority to the development of education", "accelerate the construction of a strong country in education" and "run a satisfactory education for the people". As a teacher, please talk about your understanding and experience.

  Representative Liu Xiuxiang:A century-long plan, education-oriented. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader once emphasized that "education is the fundamental way for human beings to inherit civilization and knowledge, cultivate the younger generation and create a better life". Take myself as an example. With the support of the policies of the party and the state, I went to college by studying hard, walked out of the mountains and changed my destiny. After graduating from college, I chose to go back to my hometown to teach and persuade students everywhere. It is precisely because I personally feel the importance of education that I want to use my story to guide more children to set up lofty aspirations and help them achieve a better future through education.

  Education has played an important role in the process of winning the battle against poverty. By improving the cultural quality of the poor population and enhancing the endogenous ability to get rid of poverty, education poverty alleviation can effectively block the intergenerational transmission of poverty, making the foundation of poverty alleviation more stable and the effect more sustainable. In the new era and new journey, whether it is rural revitalization or high-quality development, I think education is still an important fulcrum, which plays a fundamental role and determines the future of the country and the nation. As the Supreme Leader’s General Secretary repeatedly emphasized, "Education makes the country prosperous, and education makes the country strong".

  To run a satisfactory education for the people, we must adhere to the people-centered development of education, accelerate the construction of a high-quality education system, develop quality education, and promote educational equity in accordance with the Party’s 20th strategic plan. Running a satisfactory education for the people also puts higher demands on our teachers. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader once emphasized: "Teachers’ work is to shape souls, lives and people." How are our teachers, how are our children; What the children are, what the future China will be. It can be said that the future China is in today’s classroom. As a teacher, we must strive to be a good teacher with ideals and beliefs, moral sentiments, solid knowledge and kindness in accordance with the instruction of the General Secretary.

  Qiushi. com reporter: General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out in the Party’s Report to the 20th CPC National Congress that "the country is strong when the youth is strong" and put forward ardent expectations for the vast number of young people. As a "post-85" youth, please talk about your understanding and experience.

  Representative Liu Xiuxiang:The words of the Supreme Leader’s General Secretary made my heart surge and I was full of energy. As young people in China in the new era, we are born at the right time, with a mission on our shoulders, a vast stage for displaying our talents, and a bright prospect for realizing our dreams. National rejuvenation and national prosperity are inseparable from the hard work and dedication of generations of young people. While feeling the great changes in the motherland, our generation must shoulder the mission, and continue to write the youth chapter of rejuvenating China with a never-ending mental state and an indomitable struggle posture.

  General Secretary of the Supreme Leader has repeatedly stressed that "struggle is the most beautiful background of youth". I often say to my students, "Believe in the power of struggle". Plum blossoms that have not experienced wind, frost, rain and snow will not be fragrant, and those who have not struggled will not succeed. Life is hard to beat, so don’t wait for it at this time! Young people in the new era must bear in mind the instruction of the General Secretary, "unswervingly listen to the Party, follow the Party, embrace dreams and be down-to-earth, dare to think and do good deeds, and be determined to be good young people in the new era with ideals, courage to take responsibility, hardship and willingness to struggle", work hard and unremittingly, and strive for the first place and make contributions in the new journey of building a socialist modern country in an all-round way.

  Hebi, Zhongxin. com, August 1 ST: Flood-fighting volunteers use their bodies to block piping. Doctors warn not to go into the water again.

  Zhongxin. com reporter Lu Yuguo

  Wang Haoming, who has volunteered for flood fighting and rescue work in Henan for five days, can’t go to Xunxian County to fight floods again.

  From July 27th to 31st, Wang Haoming from Heyang County, Weinan, Shaanxi Province participated in flood fighting and rescue in Weihui City, Xinxiang, Henan Province and Jun County, Hebi, respectively.

  On the evening of July 30, he led several volunteers to block the piping with their bodies, and cooperated with the officers and men of the armed police to successfully save the dam of Xichen Village in Xun County to ensure that the Xicheng District west of Weihe River in Xun County was not flooded.

  Because his feet were soaked in the flood for a long time in the past few days, on the evening of July 31, he was sent to the hospital because his feet were cracked, swollen and painful. The doctor warned him not to go into the water again in the near future.

  Wang Haoming, 30 years old, previously worked in Action body double. On July 23rd, when he was filming in Xi ‘an, Shaanxi Province, he learned that there was a rainstorm in Henan Province, so he decided to go to Xinxiang, Henan Province, which was seriously affected, to participate in flood fighting and rescue.

  Wang Haoming’s feet were slightly ulcerated due to long soaking time. Photo courtesy of respondents

  "On the 25th and 26th, there were no trains to Henan for two consecutive days." On July 27th, Wang Haoming first took a bus to Zhengzhou East, and then transferred to Xinxiang.

  Arriving at the edge of Weihui city at 12 o’clock, Wang Haoming took the initiative to find a job: standing in waist-deep flood water to help transfer trapped people. "If you are young, help them out; If you are older, just carry them out. "

  On the same day, Wang Haoming waded for 11 hours. The next day, local volunteers in Xinxiang drove him to Xunxian County, Hebi City, and went directly to Fuzhuang Dike to participate in the patrol of Dike and sandbag filling.

  On the morning of July 29th, Wang Haoming went to Wangzhuang to help transfer villagers. On the morning of 30th, he went to Fuzhuangdi, and on the afternoon of 30th, he went to Xichen Village. "I will run where people are most needed."

  Xichen Village Dam is a part of Fuzhuang Dam, which is the last line of defense to protect the Xicheng District west of Weihe River in Xun County. At 19 o’clock on July 30, piping occurred in the dam of Xichen Village.

  Wang Haoming, who was packing sandbags nearby, found the piping and jumped down decisively to explore the situation. "I looked at it with a flashlight, mainly because the bottom of the big sandbag was hollowed out, so I quickly used a shovel to smash the soil on both sides, so that the sandbag above could sink."

  In order to deal with piping as soon as possible, Wang Haoming shouted to others to throw sandbags quickly, while holding the sandbags with his knees to prevent them from being washed away by piping rapids. Several other volunteers followed suit.

  At the critical moment, the officers and men of the armed police who were carrying out the dike-fixing task nearby arrived quickly and immediately took over the task of blocking piping.

  "I counted, at least a dozen armed police officers and men held sandbags with their knees." Wang Hao said that his task was temporarily changed to cooperate with the officers and men of the armed police to widen and reinforce the dam. At 0: 30 the next day, the danger of piping was finally eliminated.

  Two hours ago, residents of Xicheng District, Weihe River in Xun County were urgently transferred. When the news came, many residents’ hanging experiences were put down.

  On July 31st, it was another busy day. That night, he was preparing to eat when he suddenly felt pain in his feet and it became more and more serious. "It hurts like a needle, which is particularly uncomfortable."

  When local volunteers sent Wang Haoming to Xunxian Chinese Medicine Hospital, his feet were swollen and there were some small cracks.

  "This is mainly because your feet have been in the water for too long, and the sediment has been ground badly. Note that you must not go into the water again in the near future, otherwise it will be troublesome to cause infection. " The doctor warned Wang Haoming.

  At the end of the interview, Wang Haoming said goodbye to the reporter of Zhongxin.com with an apology. "I am afraid that there will be no chance to participate in the follow-up rescue work. I hope that Jixian will win the flood control as soon as possible." (End)

China’s fourth-generation nuclear power technology leads the world in R&D and application to solve the world-class problem of safe use of nuclear energy.

  CCTV News:In recent years, China’s nuclear power technology has developed rapidly and has entered the first phalanx of nuclear power technology in the world. Recently, China Nuclear Energy Industry Association released the Blue Book of China Nuclear Energy Development Report 2024.

  According to the blue book, up to now, there are 26 nuclear power units under construction in China, with a total installed capacity of 30.3 million kilowatts, and both the number under construction and the installed capacity remain the first in the world. The independent third-generation nuclear power technology represented by "Hualong No.1" and "Guohe No.1" is being deployed in an orderly manner in China.

  At the same time, China has made breakthroughs in many technical directions of the fourth generation nuclear power technology. The world’s first fourth-generation nuclear power plant put into commercial operation — — The demonstration project of Shidaowan high-temperature gas-cooled reactor has generated more than 650 million kWh since it was put into operation in December 2023. This marks that China has reached the world leading level in the research and development and application of the fourth generation nuclear power technology, which is also a pioneering work of China leading the world in nuclear energy technology.

  Fourth Generation Nuclear High Temperature Gas Cooled Reactor: A Safer Future Energy

  What are the characteristics of the fourth generation nuclear power technology? What does "high temperature gas cooled reactor" mean? In addition to the "high temperature gas cooled reactor", what other reactor types are there in the fourth generation nuclear energy system?

  The world’s first fourth-generation nuclear power plant has an installed capacity of 200,000 kilowatts.

  Shidaowan High-temperature Gas-cooled Reactor Demonstration Project is located in Rongcheng City, Shandong Province. It is a landmark achievement of major national science and technology projects with completely independent intellectual property rights in China, and it is also the first fourth-generation nuclear power plant in the world. The installed capacity of the project is 200,000 kilowatts, and the power generation is enough to meet the electricity demand of 200,000 households.

  High temperature: The reactor core is made of high temperature resistant materials.

  High temperature gas-cooled reactor includes two key words: "high temperature" and "gas cooling". High temperature means that the core of the reactor is made of high temperature resistant materials such as graphite and ceramics, so that the core temperature can reach nearly 1000 degrees Celsius.

  Air cooling: inert gas helium is used for core cooling and heat transfer.

  Air cooling means that the reactor uses inert gas helium for core cooling and heat transfer, which is different from the "water cooling" mode of traditional nuclear power plants. Helium is not easy to react with other substances in the reactor at high temperature, so it is called high temperature gas cooled reactor.

  Zhang Zuoyi, chief designer of the high-temperature gas-cooled reactor nuclear power plant, a major national science and technology project, introduced that in 2023, this reactor was used for a very important safety verification test. After stopping the whole external output energy system, the reactor was able to "brake" itself and slowly cool down, which scientifically proved the "inherent safety" of the reactor.

Bi Gan: If you don’t serve the capital, the audience can refuse the roadside picnic.

Bi Gan’s roadside picnic was a blockbuster.


Special feature of 1905 film network The start-up capital was only 40,000 yuan. After two months of filming, the crew was dissolved. Bi Gan, the sound engineer, the literary planner and his wife made up another month, finishing some shots about the train and the last 15 minutes of the film. Previously, Bi Gan had accepted many interviews and talked about the situation of "food shortage" when shooting. Often, there was no money when shooting, but someone would call some money, but in the end, "it was really impossible to shoot for two months."

 

When filming, all the crew members will also play truth or dare together, and Bi Gan will use various ways to get everyone together, cheer up and increase their trust in themselves. Bi Gan said that in fact, he can be regarded as a leader among his friends since he was a child, and playing basketball in primary school and junior high school is always a leader.

 

Who would have thought that more than a year later, Bi Gan won the Best New Director Award in the 52nd Taiwan Film Golden Horse Award for his play. At that time, the candidates included Alec Su, Guoqiang Xiang and others. Bi Gan, who was born in 1989, became a blockbuster, and the roadside picnic was also noticed by more people.

 

Bi Gan has been recognized by many people for his first appearance, and "Roadside Picnic" has also entered this crowded summer file. Can it be recognized by the audience? He said: Leave it to fate.

 

The audience doesn’t have to interact with me, so they don’t have to accept the roadside picnic.

 

The play was filmed in Kaili, Guizhou, which is Bi Gan’s hometown. He said that he was lazy and it would be convenient to film in Kaili. Almost all the films are unprofessional actors, and the hero is Bi Gan’s uncle. These relatives and friends have helped him before and starred in two short films. This time, they got together again and made a long film.

 

The story of the roadside picnic can be divided into three sections, the scene, the past and the future, which will not be incomprehensible, but it is also different from other linear narrative films. There is a 40-minute long shot in the film, and the audience can follow the photographer to see that the male host seems to have returned to the past and met the future characters. When watching, I can feel the photographer bumping in the car and stumbling when walking. Bi Gan said that the scene was filmed three times, and finally the first material was selected. Although there were flaws, the best parts, such as singing, were retained, and the relationship between the characters could be reflected. He also laughed and said that as for the technical flaws, there was really no way. "Everyone can hate this movie because of this." This shot, praised by many people, is just a technique in Bi Gan’s eyes, and the script needs to be filmed.

 

1905 Movie Network: Did the two-month shooting period achieve what the script wanted to express?

Bi Gan: Yes, I did. I shot 70% in the first two months. Everyone really couldn’t hold on. They were all very tired. Everyone had something to do and had helped me for two months. I said, let’s disband. I have finished most of it. Finally, I will do some finishing work myself.

 

1905 Movie Network: Is the final shot different from the original idea?

Bi Gan: There is definitely no difference in imagination. Writing is not to execute my script later. Writing is to make a blueprint. That blueprint is an alternative, and shooting on the spot is the moment of creation.

 

1905 Movie Network: Do you pay more attention to the process?

Bi Gan: The film is definitely a process. As for what can be achieved, it should be resigned to fate.

 

1905 Movie Network: New directors may want to let more people know themselves through their works?

Bi Gan: Why do you know me?

 

1905 Movie Network: Do you think movies are made for yourself?

Bi Gan: Of course, movies are for people, but it has nothing to do with me. I used all kinds of methods and spent time hiding my feelings and turning them into works. It is good for everyone to interact with the works. It has its own vitality. There is no need to interact with me. I don’t know everyone and everyone doesn’t know me.

 

1905 Movie Network: There are many scenes in which the hero reads poems. When did you start writing poems?

Bi Gan: Fifteen or sixteen years old, (time is not short) right, so it’s very long, so it’s not like a novice. We used to write homework for more than ten years, and you have left qq space for more than ten years, so it’s almost the same. We should be about the same age in writing lyric, and we have been lyric with words for more than ten years.

 

1905 Movie Network: Are you worried that the audience will not understand why they want to read poetry?

Bi Gan: Then you can also question why you don’t understand the lighting and the clothes worn by the actors. Poetry is probably the same, that is, sound, light and it are all elements inside. There is nothing you don’t understand, that is, you can’t accept it. If you accept it, you can go to him and interact with him. If you don’t accept it, there is nothing you can do.

 

1905 Movie Network: Do you think the audience will accept this play?

Bi Gan: Whatever (laughs).

 

1905 Movie Network: I feel that you are very open-minded.

Bi Gan: Sorry about the issuer. I don’t think so openly. I don’t know this. I don’t know everyone. There are 10,000 people in the audience. But if there are at least 20 people who are my friends, I will explain to them. I don’t know the rest. I may have no contact with you all my life, or my works will have contact with them. So what’s the point for me? I don’t think it’s meaningful. I hope you can convince me.

 

1905 Movie Network: Let you explain this movie now. What would you say?

Bi Gan: I explain it differently from everyone. I think this movie is an animation, just like an animation, where the innocence is particularly pure.

 

1905 Movie Network: Where is innocence reflected?

Bi Gan: A place for singing and walking.

 

1905 Movie Network: The theme that your works want to express has always been time?

Bi Gan: As I said just now, there is really nothing else. In France, many directors can discuss the relationship between people and love, which is very profound. I may not be able to understand that. What I can understand in my twenties is something particularly pure, time and memory.

 

Capital can’t control movies. I will only be happy when I am creating.

 

When I was a child, Bi Gan’s parents divorced. He grew up with his grandmother, so he was particularly independent in life, "because he needed to be taken care of". However, in thinking, Bi Gan said that he was very independent, "because he didn’t have to listen to anyone".

 

When he was a freshman, Bi Gan saw andrei tarkovsky’s films and came up with the idea of making movies, because it was "a way of expression". Then he made two short films, Tiger and Diamond Sutra, and was shortlisted for many film festivals. After graduating from college, I began to join the film industry. My family didn’t support it, but it was only a few years. In Bi Gan’s words, "I’ll just rely on it."

 

There was still no money when filming "Roadside Picnic". After filming, I won the prize, and after I became famous, the capital came to me. Those who seek cooperation will meet and talk with Bi Gan after screening by producers. If there is no common pursuit, it will be "game over". Facing the influx of investors, Bi Gan can see clearly that he can’t control his own creation and impose it on his unsuitable actors.

 

Today, Bi Gan has signed contracts with different companies, including directors and brokers, and has formed his own company with his partners. The following work is very full, but he is not sure whether he will always be a director. "It’s tiring to think about filming, but will there be a back after finishing?" I don’t know. I’m resigned. "

 

Next, Bi Gan will make a film called The Last Night of the Earth, with an investment of about 10 million yuan. It is a "country detective film that cannot be typed", and there will be elements of revenge, with new people and old people coming on stage together, but the new actors may not be stars.

 

1905 Movie Network: What’s the next plan?

Bi Gan: In August, I will help the Golden Horse film beat a one-minute image film, and then in April next year, I will shoot a long film called The Last Night of the Earth.

 

1905 Movie Network: Will the newcomers in the new film be familiar faces that everyone knows?

Bi Gan: Maybe it’s a truck driver, not necessarily an actor, not necessarily everyone knows, maybe it’s a star. I don’t care if it’s suitable or not.

 

1905 Movie Network: You don’t reject the All-Star cast?

Bi Gan: I don’t reject it more and more, because I feel that the constant use of non-professional actors is to remove his identity, so why can’t other professional actors remove his identity? Wouldn’t it be nice if it’s suitable and everyone communicates smoothly?

 

1905 Movie Network: What if some stars have more dominance on the set than themselves?

Bi Gan: Look at how big he is. If he thinks he is taller than me, I’m definitely not afraid of you. But if you want to put forward the reasons for this detail, I will listen carefully and find a better solution with you. If your way can be solved better, then I will fully respect you, because my purpose is not to be a director, but to make a good work.

 

1905 Movie Network: Is there much investment in finding you now?

Bi Gan: A lot. People who come to me generally want me to make my own movies, and he can’t let me shoot Spider-Man. If I do, he will go crazy.

 

1905 Movie Network: Do you promise to create instead of being dominated by capital?

Bi Gan: Capital and technology are all for helping me to make movies, not for me to serve them. These people who come to me know very well that all the capital is for making movies better.

 

1905 Movie Network: If the investor asks which actor to use, will you agree?

Bi Gan: Then if his actor is particularly good, I will compromise. If his actor is not good, it is impossible to compromise. If he is particularly suitable, I think you have a vision as an investor, and I should compromise with you.

 

1905 Movie Network: Aren’t you afraid to offend anyone?

Bi Gan: I don’t depend on anyone.

 

1905 Movie Network: If you don’t shoot this play, will life be guaranteed?

Bi Gan: No, The Roadside Picnic really allows me to write freely now, but I would have been poor before, but who is not poor in my twenties?

 

1905 Movie Network: You are only 27 years old now.

Bi Gan: 27 years old … … Then my friends around me can guarantee their own lives when they become civil servants. Before that, we were all poor together, so I think the stage is more consistent and the luck is better. It is a very glorious thing to be able to do art to support themselves.

 

1905 Movie Network: Many artists who can’t support themselves finally gave in.

Bi Gan: That’s not his fault.

 

1905 Movie Network: Will you insist on uncompromising?

Bi Gan: The most important thing is that I believe my work is good, so I am willing to pay. If my work is not good or I just want to run an identity, what the hell? Why should I do this? It’s good to work so hard every day and harm others and yourself, but if it’s valuable, you can talk to time memory so that the watching human body will notice it and understand it. If it’s so valuable, you should shoot it well and take out your own ideas.

 

1905 Movie Network: I heard that you still live in Guizhou?

Bi Gan: Because my home is over there. Of course, I will live there where my home is.

 

1905 Movie Network: Didn’t you want to live in Beijing?

Bi gan: there is no such reason, mainly.

 

1905 Movie Network: What kind of reasons will come?

Bi Gan: My family is coming. My children will come when they go to school here.

 

1905 Movie Network: Most directors may want to live here, and the resources will be better?

Bi Gan: What’s the use? It’s just as bad as shooting. I mean, the most critical moment is to spend time writing well, which is more useful than anything else. Some directors think that Beijing is very comfortable, so it’s already very good. You can write well here. The reason for choosing a place to live is because you are comfortable.

 

1905 Movie Network: When I was a child, there didn’t seem to be so much communication with my parents?

Bi Gan: In life, it is special that you will not be independent, because you need to be taken care of and grow up with your grandmother. But in thinking, I will be particularly independent, because I can listen to different people.

 

1905 Movie Network: Will childhood experiences affect the present?

Bi Gan: But I hope my child … … My wife and I can give him a very good family, and we can have a more sound family. Don’t be an artist, just be a normal and ordinary person and have a happy life.

 

1905 Movie Network: So you are unhappy as an artist?

Bi Gan: It’s because I’m only happy when I’m creating. Creation has helped me solve many problems, but he doesn’t have to create this problem. He doesn’t have that problem himself.

 

1905 Movie Network: Are you unhappy because of your childhood experience?

Bi Gan: I don’t think it’s so melodramatic. Most artists value themselves too much.

Ideal social interaction


 


Between active and passive, "social degradation" has become an increasingly common choice. Everyone has different definitions of "social interaction" and different boundaries, which has caused our social problems.

In fact, living in the society of strangers, we still long for the connection between people, but what we want is "more comfortable socialization".

"Socialization" in Popular Discourse

What the hell does that mean?

In 2023, the social observation reality show "Fifty Kilometers of Peach Blossom House" was filmed in the third season, and the talk show actor Bird Bird who set up a circle with "social fear" people became the biggest attraction of this season. There is a scene in the program: Bird Bird and Eric Wang, who are also withdrawn, are standing by the wall, one with his hands in his pockets and his head bowed, and the other with his hands clasped, looking ahead. At that moment, only embarrassment flows in the air. This picture was sent to me by a friend who doesn’t watch variety shows, so it is widely circulated. She said, "Isn’t that you?" I said, "So are you?"

Stills of the reality show "Fifty Kilometers of Peach Blossom House 3", Bird Bird (left) and Eric Wang.

Today, everyone can find some resonance in "social fear", otherwise "social degradation" will not become a hot word. Social degradation is a complex phenomenon:Sometimes it shows retreat, which means that people begin to avoid and cut some social relationships in their lives, and sometimes it shows active choice, which means that people begin to tend to simple and controllable shallow relationships.

But "social demotion" is an ambiguous expression. First of all, it has no subject. Who wants to demote? Secondly, it has no sense of object. What part of social life do we want to degrade? Finally, it has no frame of reference. Did there ever exist a standard social interaction in our social life? The only consensus we can reach is that,It is conveying a general feeling that "socializing" is very tiring.

The first question to understand is, what exactly do we mean by "social"? According to the definition in the dictionary, any contact between people can be called social interaction, that is, social interaction. But it’s hard to say with the suffix "degraded". Everyone feels different pressure points, and the word "social" in "social degradation" has different meanings: migrant workers are most likely to be troubled by the incessant WeChat messages, so they want to reduce their online exposure, so they have "read it back" or "friends circle can be seen for three days" or even "digital fasting". For young people who have just entered the society, it is particularly difficult to cope with the traditional human relations, so they have to "break off their relatives" or "clean up the workplace". For middle-aged people, too many relationships have been alienated, but they still have to spend energy to maintain them. It is better to "downgrade friendship" or "stay away from dinner".

Stills of "County Courtyard"

Hu Penghui, a teacher at the School of Social Studies, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, has been paying attention to the social trends of young people in the past two years, and has written articles on "sense of boundary" and "socializing with children". I asked him to help us draw a range: how to understand the concept of "social" in popular discourse?

Hu Penghui told me that the social communication we are talking about is narrower than the definition in the dictionary, and tends to have social and cultural attributes. "For example, if you chat with your family, go to the supermarket to talk to the salesperson, and discuss transactional work with your colleagues, you won’t think’ I am socializing’. The social interaction we are talking about today, that is, the social interaction in English,In particular, it emphasizes its social attribute, which belongs to the field of’ communication’ in the three major fields of modern society defined by emotional sociology. "

Emotional sociology believes that our emotions in social interaction are an important factor reflecting the changes of our whole society. Jonathan Turner, the author of Emotional Sociology, said: "Emotion is the maintainer of interpersonal relationship, the undertaker of macro-social structure and its cultural generation, and also a force that can split society. Therefore, emotion is an important force to promote social reality at all levels, from face-to-face interpersonal communication to large-scale organizational systems that constitute modern society. "

Stills of Pretending Revelation

What does "communication" mean in emotional sociology? Hu Penghui used the theory of Cheng Boqing, his mentor and professor of Nanjing University School of Social Sciences, to illustrate this problem. The social life of modern people is divided into three areas: work, consumption and communication. We follow different emotional mechanisms in different fields. In the field of work, the "finishing system" is dominant, which requires individuals to manage and adjust their emotions and adapt to external organizational and professional requirements. The dominant emotion in the work is "friendliness". What dominates the consumption field is the "experience system", which requires individuals to pursue the happiness brought by novel experiences, so as to show their individuality and their own value. The dominant emotion in this field is "happiness and pleasure".In the field of communication, the "performance system" is dominant, which requires people to create a "micro-landscape" by means of exaggerated expression or strengthening the atmosphere of specific situations, and the emotion that dominates this field is "love".

The theory sounds very simple. Our life consists of three parts. What society requires of us is to express corresponding emotions in different social activities. But the reality is often more complicated. With the blessing of network technology, our social "performance" can start at any time, with no end, regardless of occasion and time. The boundaries between "work, consumption and communication" are increasingly blurred, and there are complex tensions.No one can split his life neatly, let alone manage his emotions strictly according to the life schedule, otherwise he may be as crazy as the company employees who underwent personality splitting surgery in Life Cutting.

Stills of "Life Cutting"

Hu Penghui’s concern for modern people’s social life also began with Fifty Kilometers of Peach Blossom House. What caught his attention was a small incident between actor Guo Qilin and action art Chen chen Chen in the first season: Chen chen Chen asked Guo Qilin to help with the installation, but Guo Qilin, who is famous for his high emotional intelligence and love of help, refused. He turned back and spoke privately to talk show actor Li Xueqin: "It’s like a friend who has nothing to do with you at ordinary times and comes to you for help." Li Xueqin expressed his understanding and summed up a social principle for him: "I don’t bother you, so don’t bother me."

In Hu Penghui’s view, the friction between Guo Qilin and Chen chen Chen is "a matter of border sense". Guo Qilin didn’t have a problem with Chen chen Chen, but the other party broke the boundary he drew for "asking for help". To put it bluntly, it was "friendship didn’t reach this point". At that time, Guo Qilin received a lot of criticism, perhaps because the audience acquiesced that the recording of programs was Guo Qilin’s job. In this case, he did not seem to show a friendly face in his work, but handled it according to his own standards in daily communication. But then again, this program is originally a "social observation", and it is Guo Qilin’s job to show his true self in the field of communication.There is often no right or wrong in social scenes, only a feeling of "discomfort", which is why it is exhausting.

The stills of the Korean drama My Liberation Journal show that the stranger society is the reality of urbanites.

Besides work, we have to pay emotional labor, consumption activities also consume emotions, and communication activities are also mixed with consumption and work, which directly hinders us from being ourselves. Hu Penghui concluded: "In individuals, the separation of the three fields can make it possible for us to pursue ourselves. Socialization becomes a burden, which happens when the three fields are integrated. The question is, who can separate work, consumption and communication so clearly? "

Hu Penghui is a post-90s generation. When he gets along with students born after 00, he finds himself confused about the "boundary". Take the common concept of "teacher" in campus life as an example. When he went to school, he felt that the students of the same teacher were close to each other or at least supported each other. However, among the students he is taking now, many people have a good sense of boundary. "I gave them a cooperative project, and they were willing to communicate with me separately. When I suggested that they could communicate with the same group of students, they found that they didn’t have much contact. Then I found out,Their understanding of their classmates seems to be limited to the objective’ all under the name of a teacher’, and there is no subjective alliance between them. "

Hu Penghui feels that the core of the troubles brought by social interaction is often the question of where this line should be drawn. "The so-called" ineffective social interaction ",or the part of things that make people feel anxious or want to be downgraded in social interaction, is these" interactions "at the junction of the three major fields. But the boundary is a subjective psychological distance, not an objective spatial distance, and the boundary in everyone’s mind is different. It is the ambiguity of this definition that has caused everyone’s anxiety about social life. " Hu Penghui said.

Why is "socializing" so difficult?

The first episode of the British drama Black Mirror in the third season fictionalizes a society dominated by "social rating", where a person’s success is not judged by professional achievements, wealth or personality, but by the rating of a social networking site hanging over everyone’s head. In order to attend the wedding of plastic sister flowers, the heroine Leiqian entered the high-level social circle and went crazy. After a series of embarrassing accidents, her social score is still not enough. She completely collapsed, broke into the wedding scene and swore, her social score was zero, and she became a "social prisoner". Zoom out, behind the iron cage, she still has many prisoners.

The first episode of the British drama Black Mirror in the third season tells a world with social success as its highest goal.

"Socialization" has become a part of our daily performance. Under the attack of both offline and online, modern people are generally in a state of social burnout. We are in the same situation as Lacey. We have too many superficial relationships, are subject to ubiquitous social judgments, and are in an uninterrupted social connection. The standard of being a "perfect social person" is getting higher and higher.

In Lacey’s world, social success is the only criterion of social success. Unrealistic social requirements have led to a large number of quitters who quit social competitions.

Zheng Dandan, a professor at the School of Sociology of Huazhong University of Science and Technology, discussed a similar phenomenon, which originated from the "social withdrawal" put forward by American sociologist Merton: "A highly competitive society will inevitably make many people unable to complete social tasks and give up … In some cases, some social structure and cultural factors may cause individuals in society to take withdrawal behavior more generally (with great possibility)." Zheng Dandan’s thesis was written in 2019. At that time, she observed that people around her and even herself would give up some social tasks intermittently, "mainly because of the mismatch between goals and means". Socialization is also a social task, so can we understand "social fear" or "social degradation" as "social retreat" under pressure?

Zheng Dandan thinks that "social fear" in the pathological sense can be regarded as a kind of social retreat. "It means completely giving up the goal of interpersonal communication stipulated by society, even if it is the simplest meeting with strangers, it is impossible to say hello politely and keep in touch with friends to express concern". But today, "social fear" has been used as a generalized label. "The" social fear "we are talking about today is similar to a kind of" retreat "with positive color. Because it is difficult to meet some inherent social rules, I may explain myself by looking for another track or dissolving the meaning of the goal.The main purpose is to dispel the traditional interpersonal rules that people are unwilling to abide by and buffer the impact of social changes. "

When it comes to the impact of modern society, a word that is often mentioned is also put forward by the German philosopher Han Bingzhe."Meritorious society".Han Bingzhe compared the meritorious society to a "Dopinggesellschaft", in which the whole society is full of excessive upward energy, resulting in a kind of efficiency that has no efficiency. "The whole human being has evolved into an efficiency machine, running smoothly and unimpeded, trying to maximize its own efficiency." The corresponding negative consequence is that "the unrestrained pursuit of efficiency improvement leads to mental obstruction".

Dong Chenyu, a lecturer at the School of Journalism of China Renmin University, mainly studies social media and online culture, and the social life of young people is also within his concern.He thinks that the reason for "social degradation" is that we are overwhelmed by the meritorious society, so we have to reduce social costs and improve social efficiency. The emotional value that we need to obtain in the long-term intimate relationship must be obtained in a low-cost way."’social degradation’ sounds like a description of space. From top to bottom, in fact, I think it is a matter of time. It is that we are constantly compressing the time and energy spent on socializing. It is such a choice in a sense to play with children and games." Dong Chenyu said.

Dong Chenyu evaluated himself as a very "Buddhist" person, but also indirectly felt the social pressure exerted by the meritorious society. He found that students who had worked as interns in "big factories" would use efficiency tools in the communication between teachers and students. Some students ask him to revise his thesis, and they will throw a "flying book" document, which indicates the exact time and place where the teacher needs to give guidance. "According to my habit, I usually reply within a week, or I may be too busy to push it for another three or four days, but I can feel the students’ obvious disappointment because I have pushed back the whole schedule of his’ flying books’. There is a feeling that I have entered the’ big factory’ and the students are my boss. " Dong Chenyu called this phenomenon "life tabulation". "Our life is full of efficiency tools. Time is quantified, and so is socialization. But I also understand them that this’ social downgrade’ is an expedient measure in helplessness. "

Another important feature of modern society is a high degree of division of labor and atomization. Different from the acquaintance society connected by blood and geography in the past, we live in a stranger society.

There is a Korean film called People Living Alone, which describes such a life. The heroine, Zhenya, works as an operator. She talks to countless people every day, but only answers according to her words, which does not produce real communication. She always walks in the company wearing headphones and doesn’t talk to her colleagues. She lives in an apartment building with poor sound insulation, but she doesn’t even know that her neighbor died at home. She is at odds with her father and refuses to meet him. She has lived alone in a big city for two years. Many people may envy Zhenya’s life. She never empathizes with strange customers, her emotions are not disturbed by work, she doesn’t have to attend colleagues’ parties, deal with neighborhood relations, and even "break off her relatives". She lived a regular and quiet life in a stranger’s world, and became an excellent employee. Living alone made her look comfortable.

What does a stranger mean?In his article Stranger, sociologist Zimmel defined it as follows: "(Stranger) contains the unity of proximity and distance in any relationship between people, and it can reach a situation that can be summarized most briefly here. The distance within the relationship means that the close person comes from afar, but strangeness means that the distant person is nearby." Simply put, strangers are part of a group, but they are not fixed by blood or geography. They are a group of people who are close in physical space and far away in psychological space.

Zhenya’s life is easy to make people empathize because it is very common. But a question that is not easy to answer is that the anxiety of urbanization and the atomized society have existed for a long time. Why have we become fond of talking about "social degradation" in recent years? Dong Chenyu put forward a perspective: this is related to the "homecoming tide" of young people in big cities in recent years. With the economic downturn, competition in big cities has intensified.Many young people return to their hometown after living in first-and second-tier cities for several years and find themselves "unable to blend in".

My interviewee, Azhi, is in line with Dong Chenyu’s observation. The reason why she looks for friends online is "going back to her hometown". Azhi grew up in Xinjiang, then went to Beijing to go to college and returned to work in Xinjiang after graduation. In her hometown, she found that she had lost her peer circle: her high school friends rarely stayed in her hometown, some went abroad for further study, and others worked in big cities. At home, she and her parents "talk too much", so they moved out to live by themselves. It can be said that she became a stranger in her hometown.

Azhi is one of the five interviewees I found in the "social rehabilitation" group of Douban. A "group" is a small group of strangers with a very "vertical subdivision". People from all over the world can form a temporary alliance because of any strange little thing. In fact, many social relationships that we actively choose today are built between strangers. The network gives us the possibility of crossing space and time and reaching out to any stranger who has nothing in common with us. Azhi doesn’t deal with colleagues around him, but prefers to comment actively under the group posts, hoping to find friends who resonate. She thinks it may be easier to find someone who understands her in this circle of all social fears.We like this kind of relationship because we can easily choose people who are similar to ourselves and control the depth of the relationship.

However, the seemingly "I am the master" socialization has often become a reason to try, and it has also caused us to fall into deeper loneliness. Azhi told me with a little regret that she couldn’t find a suitable friend in the group because she asked to meet offline in the same city, and there were too few friends in the group who were willing to meet offline. She said with emotion, "If only I were in Beijing or Shanghai." Her solution is to walk around the streets more, "even if only people who feel real pass by me."

Stills of "Why is Secretary Jin like that"

At this time, the seemingly compulsive kinship, geography or industry relationship has an indispensable value.It can make us stay in the same physical space with others for a long time, thus breeding a real connection. In the movie, the transformation of Zhenya comes from a new intern who falls from the sky. The leader assigned her to familiarize herself with the work with the interns, and they were forced to sit in the same cubicle all day, and Zhenya slowly softened up in resistance. She began to eat and chat with interns, untie the knot with her father, and tried to put her ear to the door of her new neighbor to listen to the noise in the room. Finally, the intern was leaving, and Zhenya confessed to her: "I hate being alone, but I have been pretending."

Between active and passive, "social degradation" seems to be an increasingly common choice. Will "socializing" get farther and farther away from us? Dong Chenyu thinks the situation is just the opposite. "Several scenic spots that are very popular this year, such as Zibo barbecue and Tianjin grandpa diving, are no longer traditional’ beautiful places’, but’ places where everyone is lively together’, which shows that everyone’s social desire is very strong." He thinks,"It’s not that we don’t want to socialize, but we want a more comfortable way to socialize."

Ada turned into a "panda bicycle courier" and held hands with fans to get a happy surprise.


Ada bicycle express

    Enthusiastic fans are a powerful backup for artists on the road to success. Recently, Ada, the anchor of sexy beauty, suffered a "surprise reversal" in her own special Spring Festival program, and was really moved by her own "Liusi" support group.

    Ada recorded a special program outside the Spring Festival that day to send a surprise package to enthusiastic people on a bicycle in the cold weather, but he didn’t expect that this time it was actually designed, not by himself, but by the surprise party. Ada dressed up as a lovely "Panda Express Girl" and came to the destination KTV. She called the other party to come down and pick it up, but the other party had a very bad attitude on the phone. She asked Ada to send it up in person. Although the dedicated Ada felt helpless, she smiled and agreed. When I arrived PARTY the designated room, I found myself cheated. Cake and music sounded in the private room, which was the "Sixth Anniversary of the Foundation of the Support Association" that the "Liusi" spontaneously discussed with the director. Ada was moved to tears in her eyes by the sudden surprise, and made a speech in everyone’s applause, expressing her gratitude for the support and love of the "wickers" all the time. She will definitely work harder and let everyone see more works. At everyone’s invitation, Ada happily held the hand of Liu Si and sang the songs "Sun Shangxiang" and "Unintentional Mistake" in EP "Rock Color of Ada". The fans sang along loudly, and the atmosphere was very warm.

    On that day, the temperature was very low. After Ada finished her "surprise trip", she had to rush to other programs. She reluctantly left and took photos with "Liu Si" one by one to say goodbye. Intimate Ada was afraid that fans would catch a cold because of her, and she didn’t forget to stare at everyone over and over again to put on more clothes. Don’t just be graceful and don’t be warm.
