"Human beings are created by labor, and society is created by labor";

　　"People create history and labor creates the future";

　　"All happiness in the world needs to be created by hard work";

　　"The model worker is the elite of the nation, the model of the people and the hero of the Republic";

　　"Labor is the most glorious, the noblest, the greatest and the most beautiful";

　　"Model worker spirit, labor spirit and craftsman spirit are vivid manifestations of the national spirit with patriotism as the core and the spirit of the times with reform and innovation as the core, and are powerful spiritual driving forces that inspire the whole party and the people of all ethnic groups throughout the country to March forward bravely";

　　… … … …

　　Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader has deeply praised the labor creation, eulogized the spirit of model workers, laborers and artisans, led the whole society to carry forward the glorious labor, valuable skills and great fashion of the times, condensed the powerful force of hundreds of millions of working people to forge ahead in unity, created the great achievements of Socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era, and pushed China onto a new journey of building a socialist modern country in an all-round way.

　　Sweat irrigates the harvest, and work hard to move forward. The people of China, who have stepped into a new journey and have a stronger sense of historical consciousness and initiative, are firmly relying on labor creation to promote Chinese modernization and strive to create a better future with their own hands.

　　"The whole society should respect model workers and carry forward their spirit."

　　"When I saw the letter, I remembered the scene of communicating with you in the workshop ten years ago."

　　On September 1st this year, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader wrote back to the workers of "Li Zhiqiang Class" of China Hangfa Liming Engine Assembly Factory, which made Li Zhiqiang, a 59-year-old national model worker and national technical expert, feel surge of emotion. "The general secretary told us to carry forward the spirit of model workers and artisans. We have always been deeply engraved in our hearts and become a source of strength for us to overcome difficulties and forge ahead."

　　Talk and entrust, inspiring people. In the past ten years, everyone in "Li Zhiqiang Class" has worked hard, achieving 126 technological innovations, developing 312 tooling tools, applying for more than 50 invention patents, and solving 52 technical problems in scientific research and assembly.

　　Model workers are outstanding representatives of the working people and the most beautiful workers. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader always holds the most sincere respect for the model workers.

　　"Today, we see the bright stars, and the representatives of different historical periods are all here … … Everything is vivid, and we are all experienced and witnesses. Seeing everyone, I am in awe of the model workers, and the feelings of respecting knowledge and respecting labor are born. "

　　On April 28th, 2013, in an ordinary conference room of the All-China Federation of Trade Unions, the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader had a heart-to-heart talk with 65 representatives of model workers from different industries and different historical periods all over the country to celebrate May Day. Sincere words spread all over China from a small conference room.

　　After listening to the speech of Liang Jun, the first female tractor driver in New China, the Supreme Leader General Secretary said, "Your deeds are known to people of our age. The first female tractor driver in China, you are amazing. "

　　"Great" and simple three words reveal the supreme leader’s general secretary’s respect for model workers.

　　Holding a model worker’s meeting and wearing big red flowers are good memories of generations of new China for "glorious labor".

　　"Model workers and advanced workers are models for adhering to the road of China, carrying forward the spirit of China and rallying China’s strength. With a high sense of ownership, outstanding labor creation and selfless hard work and dedication, they have set an example for people of all nationalities in the country to learn." On April 28, 2015, at the celebration of the May 1 International Labor Day and the commendation of the National Conference of Model Workers and Advanced Workers, the words of the Supreme Leader General Secretary became a lofty tribute to the workers in the new era.

　　In all historical periods when our Party unites and leads the people in revolution, construction and reform, the model workers have always been a shining group: from Wang Jinxi, an "iron man" and Deng Jiaxian, a "two bombs" in the socialist construction period, to Deng Jianjun, a "knowledge worker" and Wu Dengyun, a "sage in white" in the new historical period of reform and opening up, to Huang Dafa and a "deep-sea fitter" who dug a "life canal" on the cliff in the new era. … Generation after generation of model workers write a touching chapter of "changing the world" with the passion of creation, innovation and entrepreneurship. Their glory is engraved in the history of the Republic.

　　Stepping into the new era, from major projects such as the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, Baihetan Hydropower Station and Hualong No.1 nuclear power unit, to scientific and technological miracles such as "Chang ‘e" lunar exploration, "Dragon" deep diving, Beidou networking, and to crucial battles such as pollution prevention and accurate poverty alleviation, all fronts of economic and social development have left the footprints and hard work of model workers.

　　"Bridge crane operation is like air ‘ Thread the needle ’ ！” Zhoushan Port in Ningbo, Zhejiang Province, at an altitude of more than 40 meters, Zhu Shijie, a national model worker, led the team to complete container loading and unloading quickly and accurately.

　　On March 29th, 2020, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader visited here. "The general secretary told me to play a good role as a model worker and bring out more model workers." This entrustment made Zhu Shijie full of energy.

　　In the past three years, the "Zhu Shijie Bridge Crane Operation Method" was upgraded to version 4.0, and the "Zhu Shijie Innovation Studio" trained more than 3,000 bridge crane drivers, and a group of highly skilled talents led by provincial model workers came out of the team.

　　How fine is 1 micron? 1/60th of a hair!

　　Chen Liang, a national model worker and a senior technician of Wuxi Weiyan Co., Ltd., is good at controlling the mold accuracy within 1 micron. "If you are a little more careful, you will be a little closer to the accuracy of 1 micron!" In order to better cope with every challenge, Chen Liang set such a working principle for himself.

　　… … … …

　　The new era is the era of strugglers, and the model workers are the most beautiful strugglers.

　　General Secretary of the Supreme Leader profoundly explained the spirit of model workers: "In the long-term practice, we have cultivated and formed the spirit of model workers who love their jobs, strive for first-class, struggle hard, be brave in innovation, be indifferent to fame and fortune, and be willing to contribute."

　　"Love one’s job and strive for first-class" embodies the true nature and pursuit of model workers; "Hard work and innovation" embodies the style and quality of model workers; "Indifferent to fame and fortune, willing to contribute" embodies the realm and cultivation of model workers. Model worker spirit inherits and develops the concept of labor in Chinese excellent traditional culture, which is a vivid embodiment of Marxist concept of labor.

　　Great times call for great spirit, and lofty undertakings need to be guided by examples. As an important part of advanced socialist culture, model worker spirit vividly interprets socialist core values, enriches the connotation of national spirit and spirit of the times, and is our extremely valuable spiritual wealth.

　　Respecting model workers and carrying forward the spirit of model workers, General Secretary Nianzi is here — —

　　"Vigorously carry forward the spirit of model workers, give full play to the role of the working class as masters, safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of workers and staff, and actively build harmonious labor relations";

　　"The whole society should respect model workers, carry forward the spirit of model workers, and make honest and diligent work a common practice";

　　"People of all ethnic groups in China should learn from the model workers, take the model workers as an example, give full play to the spirit of fighting against the clock and join in the grand cause of realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation";

　　… … … …

　　Under the call of the Supreme Leader General Secretary, all parts of the country praised and paid tribute to the advanced model workers with lofty courtesy. In the past five years, the All-China Federation of Trade Unions has commended 926 May Day labor awards, 4,026 May Day labor medals and 4,119 workers’ pioneers nationwide, which has encouraged trade unions at all levels to choose trees to publicize model workers and sing the songs of workers in the new era.

　　These grand commendations are enthusiastic praise for model workers, but also vigorously carry forward the spirit of model workers, and convey the deep love of the Supreme Leader General Secretary and the CPC Central Committee for model workers and advanced workers.

　　Socialism is done, and the new era is fought. Nowadays, the whole society advocates model workers, studies model workers, strives to be model workers and cares for model workers, and model workers are increasingly becoming one of the most shining groups in the whole society; "Model Worker Innovation Studio" is spread all over the country, demonstrating and leading all walks of life to promote high-quality development with hard work, honest work and creative work.

　　"As long as you work hard and diligently, you can do extraordinary things in ordinary posts."

　　Digging, pit construction, cofferdam reclamation, water lifting and watering … … In April this year, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader came to the tree planting site in Dongba Central Park, Chaoyang District, Beijing in the rain. While working, he taught the children how to plant trees and told them to love labor from an early age and achieve all-round development in morality, intelligence, physique and beauty.

　　Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, every spring, the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader has participated in voluntary tree planting activities and worked with the masses.

　　"When I got off the bus, I took a shovel on my shoulder and walked towards us laughing and laughing." "At first glance, the general secretary is the old style of doing farm work." The people who planted trees together felt warm and cordial.

　　An old photo is also warm. It was in 1989, when the supreme leader comrade, then secretary of the Ningde prefectural party committee, led the cadres of the local organs to participate in voluntary labor, with a smile on his face and a hoe on his shoulder, striding on the ridge of the field.

　　Years are long, and the true colors do not change.

　　Along the way, the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader has a consistent understanding of labor and a firm feeling for the working people.

　　"Our roots are rooted among the working people." From ploughing the grass roots to piloting China, the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader has always maintained the true nature of workers, and always insisted on "standing on the side of the overwhelming majority of working people", standing together with the working people, wanting to be together and working together.

　　Babusha Forest Farm in Gulang County, Gansu Province, picked up a ditching plough and participated in the sand control work;

　　At the mouth of the Yellow River, I bent over to pick the pods, twisted them one by one, put a soybean in my mouth and chewed it carefully: "The beans grow well";

　　On the land of the Central Plains, I held up the ears of wheat to watch the grouting and kindly said to my fellow villagers, "We are all from crops";

　　Beijing Caochang Hutong, surrounded by jiaozi with its neighbors;

　　Xiangxi grapefruit forest, skillfully helping villagers pick grapefruit;

　　… … … …

　　The people’s leaders who came out of the working people know that "people’s livelihood is diligent, but diligence is not scarce" and have repeatedly encouraged everyone that "as long as they work hard and diligently, they can also achieve extraordinary results in ordinary posts" and "no matter what kind of work they are engaged in, they must do, love and drill".

　　At the opening ceremony of the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, a five-star red flag was passed in the hands of more than 100 ordinary Chinese, including Liu Kuo, a representative of the "courier brother".

　　On the eve of the Spring Festival in 2019, Liu Kuo and his colleagues met the Supreme Leader General Secretary who came to visit them at the Stone Hutong Express Station in Qianmen, Beijing.

　　I heard that everyone can’t go home until 30 years old. The general secretary said that "courier brother" works very hard. He gets up early and gets greedy in the dark, rain or shine. The busier the holidays are, like hardworking bees, he is the hardest worker and brings convenience to everyone’s life.

　　"I have always kept in mind the words of the general secretary and tried to be a hardworking little bee." Recalling the kind words of the General Secretary, Liu Kuo still felt extremely warm in his heart.

　　The background color of labor is cast into the true colors of the people. The General Secretary of the Supreme Leader stressed: "We must firmly establish the concept of the most glorious, noble, greatest and most beautiful labor, so that all the people can further glow their enthusiasm for labor, release their creative potential and create a better life through labor."

　　Promoting the worship of labor has become a common practice in the whole society, and it is necessary to benefit workers, make them feel glorious and get social respect.

　　The working class and the broad masses of working people are anxious about their difficulties, safety and warmth, and the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader has always been in his heart. Hebei Fuping Zhuangjiayuan, hand in hand with the people in difficulty, calculated the poverty alleviation account and increased the account together, and said, "We must try our best to let the villagers live a good life as soon as possible"; On the Beijing subway construction site, a pink schoolbag was given to the daughter of Fan Yong, a steel worker, emphasizing "to arrange their life during the festival" … …

　　Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader has come to the grassroots front-line workers again and again, asking about the changes in temperature, listening to hardships, encouraging efforts, advocating labor and respecting workers.

　　From in-depth investigation at the grass-roots level to presiding over relevant meetings, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader has always been very concerned about the protection of workers’ rights and interests — —

　　"Migrant workers are a new type of labor force that has emerged since the reform and opening up, and they are an important force in building the country. The whole society must care about and care for migrant workers";

　　"Pay attention to front-line workers, migrant workers, workers with difficulties and other groups, improve the system, remove obstacles that hinder workers from participating in development and sharing development achievements, and strive to enable workers to achieve decent work and all-round development";

　　"It is necessary to improve the social security system of multi-channel flexible employment and safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of truck drivers, courier brothers and take-away distributors";

　　… … … …

　　Rely on the people, always for the people. From the standpoint of the people, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader profoundly explained the scientific connotation of labor spirit: "advocating labor, loving labor, hard work and honest labor".

　　Looking back at the brilliant achievements of the new era, we have completed the historical task of getting rid of poverty and building a well-off society in an all-round way, and achieved the goal of the first century. Every leap forward in history embodies the hard work and struggle of hundreds of millions of working people.

　　Last October, during his first inspection tour to Beijing after the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader came to Hongqi Canal in Linzhou, Anyang, Henan.

　　From 1960 to 1969, 100,000 sons and daughters of Linxian County worked hard to build a 1,500-kilometer-long natural canal on Taihang Mountain, and built a spiritual monument spanning time and space.

　　"Socialism is spelled out, done and exchanged for life, not only in the past, but also in the new era." General Secretary of the Supreme Leader said earnestly.

　　The core connotation of labor is hard work and struggle. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out: "Labor is the fundamental force to promote the progress of human society … … We say ‘ Empty talk about making mistakes in the country, and doing things to revitalize the country ’ To do practical work, we must first work on the ground. "

　　"Labor has created the Chinese nation, created a glorious history of the Chinese nation, and will certainly create a bright future for the Chinese nation."

　　Looking at the land of China, in the fields where rice waves roll, in the factories where steel flowers splash, on the road of smooth logistics, in the quiet and tidy scientific research institute … … The broad masses of working people keep in mind the entrustment, write the songs of workers in the new era in their respective posts, create with great labor, and push the wheel of the times forward.

　　"Cultivate more high-quality technical and technical talents, skilled craftsmen and great country craftsmen"

　　"Great country craftsmen, the country needs people like you."

　　On June 29, 2021, the "July 1 Medal" was awarded at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing. The words of the Supreme Leader General Secretary made the "good welder" Ai Aiguo remember in his heart.

　　Working for more than 50 years, relying on a welding torch, Ai Aiguo constantly pursues Excellence and climbs the technical peak. "Being a worker means being a good worker", which is Ai’s patriotic professional creed. He said that a really good welder should study hard and think of ways to become a master of welding technology from a master of welding.

　　The quality of workers is very important to the development of a country and a nation. In today’s world, the competition of comprehensive national strength is, in the final analysis, the competition of talents and the quality of laborers.

　　"China has the institutional advantages of socialist market economy, the demand advantages of ultra-large-scale market, the supply advantages of complete industrial system, and the talent advantages of a large number of high-quality workers and entrepreneurs." In August this year, the Supreme Leader of president pointed out in his speech to the closing ceremony of the Johannesburg BRICS Business Forum.

　　Chinese modernization is a modernization with a huge population, and the high-quality development of population supports Chinese modernization.

　　Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader has always attached great importance to building a high-quality workforce, emphasizing that "contemporary workers should not only have strength, but also have wisdom and technology, be able to invent and innovate, and play the main theme of the times with practical actions", profoundly explaining the scientific connotation of the craftsman spirit: "persistent concentration, Excellence, meticulousness and pursuit of Excellence", and calling on the whole society to carry forward the craftsman spirit.

　　On April 27, 2022, the first great country craftsman innovation exchange conference was grandly opened. This is a grand event to pay tribute to model workers, exchange innovative achievements and improve the skills and quality of employees.

　　General Secretary of the Supreme Leader sent a congratulatory letter to the Congress, stressing that "the skilled workers are an important force supporting China’s manufacturing and China’s creation", and the working class and the broad masses of working people in China should "study hard, study hard, be brave in innovation and be the first, and constantly improve their technical skills".

　　"It is necessary to carry forward the craftsmanship spirit of Excellence in the whole society and inspire the vast number of young people to take the road of becoming talented and serving the country with skills";

　　"To create a grand industrial worker team with ideals and beliefs, knowledge of technology and innovation, and the courage to take responsibility and dedication";

　　"Enhance the adaptability of vocational education, speed up the construction of a modern vocational education system, and train more high-quality technical and technical talents, skilled craftsmen and great country craftsmen";

　　"Carry forward the spirit of model workers and artisans, and strive to conquer more key core technologies";

　　… … … …

　　Important speeches and instructions again and again are full of the deep concern of the Supreme Leader General Secretary for the skilled workers; When going to the local area for investigation and research, the general secretary often walks into the workshop team to visit the working people, ask about the production and living conditions, and point out the direction of development and progress.

　　In April this year, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader came to Guangzhou Automobile Research Institute during his inspection tour in Guangdong, and had cordial exchanges with representatives from all walks of life. Among them, there are senior engineers who participated in the development of Beidou chip, scientific and technical personnel who are committed to transporting solar power from Xizang to Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, and a great craftsman who has participated in welding projects such as new aircraft carriers & HELIP; …

　　Everyone spoke enthusiastically, and the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader listened attentively. The general secretary said earnestly: "The economy should develop continuously, and there should be no ups and downs. What is very important here is science and technology, education and talents. "

　　Big times, big stage. The road for industrial and technical workers to become talented and serve the country with skills is getting wider and wider.

　　"What is the sequence of your title?" When General Secretary of the Supreme Leader participated in the discussion of the Party’s 20th Guangxi delegation, he asked Zheng Zhiming, who was sitting opposite and dressed in workshop uniforms.

　　Master Zheng reported to the General Secretary: "Our country has issued a policy of breaking the ceiling. I have just been rated as a special technician and a senior engineer. The party’s policy has given our workers who graduated from vocational high schools a good way out. This was never thought of in the past. "

　　As a locksmith, Zheng Zhiming has worked in the front line for more than 20 years, and has developed exquisite skills in the "dialogue" with steel, and the machining accuracy of parts can be controlled at 0.002 mm.

　　These years, when Zheng Zhiming grew from a locksmith apprentice to a craftsman of a big country, it was also the time when China developed into a manufacturing power and accelerated towards a manufacturing power, and a large number of skilled workers became the trendsetter of the times.

　　Deng Jianjun, delegates to 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC), has grown from a secondary school student to an expert engineer and a national skill master in the field of textile machinery in the world, and is known as the "leader of knowledge-based industrial workers" in China.

　　Zhou Yingfeng, a representative of the National People’s Congress, started as an ordinary CNC lathe worker and grew into a senior CNC lathe technician and a national technical expert with excellent technical strength.

　　… … … …

　　Countless industrial workers have dreams in their hearts, strength under their feet, and responsibility on their shoulders in the vast tide of the times, carry forward the spirit of artisans, be strugglers in the new era, and achieve wonderful life.

　　Up to now, there are more than 200 million skilled workers in China, accounting for 26% of the total employed population; There are more than 60 million highly skilled personnel, accounting for 30% of skilled workers, and they have become the backbone of China manufacturing and China creation.

　　"We step by step over the years, who are really building a modern and powerful building in Socialism with Chinese characteristics, they are all worthy of our respect. And we have to think and study how to cultivate them and play their role. This is important. " The words of hit the floor, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader, have warmed the hearts of industrial workers.

　　We workers have strength! History has proved that the working class in China has always had a glorious tradition of being in the forefront and shouldering heavy burdens bravely.

　　"I hope that the broad masses of working people will vigorously carry forward the spirit of model workers, labor spirit and craftsman spirit, work honestly and diligently, be determined to innovate and dare to be the first, rely on labor creation to solidly promote Chinese modernization, and give full play to the role of the main force in the new journey of building a strong country and national rejuvenation." On the occasion of the May 1 International Labor Day this year, the Supreme Leader General Secretary extended festive congratulations and sincere condolences to the broad masses of working people throughout the country.

　　Labor creates happiness, and hard work makes great achievements. On the new journey, hundreds of millions of working people will bear in mind the entrustment of the General Secretary, vigorously carry forward the spirit of model workers, labor spirit and artisans, further glow their enthusiasm for labor and release their creative potential, which will surely unite the majestic power of building a strong country and national rejuvenation.

What new features do you want to introduce!

Let’s discuss it with you.

Transcription editor: Tang Jingxian

Special feature of 1905 film network The documentary film directed by Ren Jie was shown in the national cinema on December 3, 2021. The film truly recorded the deeds of the first secretary of poverty alleviation in villages all over the country, such as engaging in industry, promoting education, resisting typhoons and ensuring a bumper harvest, and told their vivid experiences of doing practical things for the people.

The "first secretary" refers to the first secretary in the village, who is also the closest person to the people in the fields and countryside. This "first" contains courage, responsibility, responsibility and mission. "We are the First Secretary" tells the touching stories of more than a dozen first secretaries in villages. Since the film was released, word-of-mouth performance has been good, with Cat’s Eye score of 9.4 and Taobao Film score of 9.2. This issue of "Today’s Film Review" invited Ren Jie, the director of this film, to talk about this film with you.

During the preparation of the film, there were more than 1,000 alternate secretaries with touching stories. In the end, Ren Jie selected more than 10 of them to shoot. Some of them led villagers to engage in industry, some set up kindergartens to promote education, some responded to natural disasters such as typhoons, some took care of crops to ensure a bumper harvest, some moved to other places to help the poor, and some even sacrificed their jobs for poverty alleviation … … What considerations did the creator make when choosing the secretary for shooting? Ren Jie mentioned: "We take into account the characteristics of gender and different cultural regions from different regions and time dimensions, and try our best to make the group of the first secretary fuller, so that the written reports seen by ordinary people from the news can be vividly changed back to flesh-and-blood figures, so we still choose in a wider range."

The film begins with the story of Wang Qingluo, a post-80s secretary, who chose to raise sheep to help the poor and lead everyone out of poverty. This angle is chosen as the opening, because Wangqing is the representative of industrial poverty alleviation, and industry is a key to fundamentally solve poverty. This angle is also friendly to the audience and easy to understand the concept conveyed by the film.

Ren Jie believes: "When we went to Tibet, the biggest problem of getting rid of poverty in our village was the industrial problem. In this home, industry is the key to complete the task of getting rid of poverty and fundamentally solve the poverty problem. Because at the time of filming, they were raised by retail investors and it was difficult to form an industry, so the secretary persuaded everyone to turn individual behavior into collective behavior, tide over the difficulties together, and build a new cooperative mechanism together. "

In the film, the story of Hu Xiaoming, the former first secretary of Bozuo Village in Butuo County, Sichuan Province, is impressive. After the secretary’s term of office, out of a sense of responsibility, he resolutely chose to return to his poverty-stricken Daliangshan village to help Secretary Luo Hong. He knows the local situation and has very sincere feelings for the local people. It is also because of him that the first kindergarten has been established in the local area. In addition, he also built a chicken farm and gave eggs to the children. When the children peeled eggshells and ate eggs in front of the camera and naturally smiled on their faces, the audience in front of the screen could feel the greatness of this poverty alleviation cause.

In fact, when interviewing Secretary Hu Xiaoming, the process was not smooth. Hu Xiaoming is willing to show his work, but he is somewhat resistant to showing his inner feelings in front of the camera. His mother was ill in bed and didn’t even recognize him. It is reasonable to say that he should take care of his mother before his deathbed, but he chose to stay here because of his responsibility to Daliangshan. Although he didn’t mention his feelings, the camera also captured his tender side.

Ren Jie said: "I know why these secretaries don’t want us to shoot this. First, they don’t want to cut open the soft side of their hearts. Second, they feel guilty about their families. Third, most importantly, they don’t have the heart of fame and fortune. But for me, it is possible to tell this story well. I need these things. I hope that the audience will not know the data and reports of the first secretary, nor the news communication in the traditional sense. I hope that it is their emotions and flesh-and-blood youthful strength and life. How did they spend these years in the most difficult moments in China? "

In February, 2021, we achieved a comprehensive victory in tackling poverty, and the lens of the film also shifted from tackling poverty to rural revitalization, which is also the next task mentioned by several first secretaries. After watching the film, An Mingtai, secretary of the Youth League Committee of the School of Drama and Film of Communication University of China and the first secretary of Cha ‘ersen Gacha in Horqin Right Front Banner of Xing ‘an League, said: "It really amazes me to have such a screen work to show to the audience. Poverty alleviation is only the first stage. How to make them develop better in the process of rural revitalization is what I need to consider, and this is also the biggest inspiration that the film has given me."

Su De Bi Lige, First Secretary of Wulan Halaga Sumuxin Guolegacha; Han Geng, First Secretary of Shanxi Yangpo Village; Qin Qian, First Secretary of Henan Sunzhuang Village; He Zhengzheng, First Secretary of Yangchun Xinpo Village; Guan Yanping, First Secretary of Zhuhai Basket Doctor; Ranbo, First Secretary of Liuzhou Anning Village; Wen Weihong, Feng Yongcheng, Wang Xinfa, Huang Wenxiu, Wang Qiuting, Yang Zhengqing, Zeng Hongmei and Zeng Yuxiang. … Behind these names are the feelings of not being afraid of difficulties, being the highest in the mountains and the selfless dedication to the people.

"We are the First Secretary" truly records the story that the first secretaries live a happy life for the people and practice construction of the village in an emotional way. What this film conveys is the spirit of courage, responsibility and dedication. These people’s public servants who irrigated the flowers of hope with faith and belief wrote their initial heart and dedication on the land of the countryside, which deserves to be remembered by the people forever.

Director’s Observation of Today’s Film Review

What impressed me most in the documentary film was Hu Shuji, Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan. I know that place, where there are Xichang and Erhai Lake. But there are more mountains there. As the director said, although the countryside in Tibet is extremely cold, villages can still be seen. And the hinterland of Daliangshan, where slavery was finally eliminated in China, contains many hidden things. After the first term of office, Secretary Hu resolutely went back, hoping that what he had done would change there, help the children there and pay tribute to all the first secretaries in the front line. (Director of Luo Chuhao’s Today’s Film Review)

Do you feel that the audience hasn’t seen the TV series broadcast by Hunan Satellite TV for a long time? However, the latest TV series "Bottom Line" broadcast on its channel, on the first day of broadcasting on Monday, only two episodes were premiered, and the ratings broke 2, directly rushing to the first place in the prime-time TV series. In the following days, the performance has been very good, and the real-time ratings in Kuyun have surpassed CCTV, which has just entered the new drama "The Big Test".

As soon as this achievement came out, it instantly shocked a group of passers-by netizens. Because you know, CCTV’s own plate and weight are much larger than those of local TV stations, and combined with Hunan TV’s own ratings, it has been in a downturn for a long time and almost lost many inherent audiences. As a result, who knows that in just a few days after such a new drama was broadcast, it directly overwhelmed CCTV, which is really amazing.

The TV series The Bottom Line is starring Jin Dong, Cheng Yi, Cai Wenjing and Wang Xiuzhu, featuring Yanshu Wu, Wang Jinsong and Zhang Zhijian, and starring Liu Mintao, Zhao Ziqi, Huang Xiaolei, Zuo Xiaoqing, Wang Yinan, Yue Yun, Zhao Da, Yin Xiaotian and Liu Jun.. Cao Jun and Wang Shasha are featured. Presumably, most people’s first reaction when they see this cast is: "Boy, this is really an ultra-luxury lineup!" When the names of more than a dozen actors are put here, the meaning of the play is self-evident. In fact, the use of so many good actors, on the one hand, the TV script is really good; On the other hand, because the play is in the form of a unit play, most people make a guest appearance in soy sauce, and the most important thing is to watch the actor Jin Dong.

In this play, Jin Dong plays the president of the filing court of the district court, that is, the judge. Netizens who don’t follow the drama can also see that Jin Dong is still dressed in a straight suit and uniform as before, clean and meticulous, and this time he has a pair of glasses, which is very professional. At first glance, he is an educated, educated and upper-middle class person in society.

However, what is different is that the judge this time is not like the all-powerful one played by Jin Dong, who can get rid of a gold medal lawyer of case with a luxury car, coffee and a handsome pose, or a financial giant who can make a company go bankrupt with one stamp. Although, he also has similar functions to the previous role. He just kept preaching, but this time he turned himself into a grassroots, dealing with trivial matters, and was even given a nickname by his colleagues, called Fang Auntie.

I don’t know if other characters in the play called Jin Dong Fang Auntie and Fang Dajie, and the audience also unconsciously felt that Jin Dong, the human elite who always carried himself and was on cloud nine, came down from the sky. Especially when the audience saw him and his colleague, played by Teacher Wang Jinsong, teasing each other and going to the dining hall together after work at noon, it was very tasteful and grounded. In addition, when Jin Dong was performing, he also deliberately mixed in a little accent for himself, which made the audience feel that Jin Dong, an elite mixed with a little veteran cadre demeanor, could also challenge well.

As a well-known female killer in China, Jin Dong has always shown herself as an elite. His elite image originated from The Pretender, the mature and steady eldest brother Ming Lou who mediated among the three forces. This is just the beginning, and the peak period is He Han in My First Half Life.

This role has made countless housewives crazy. They also hope that a handsome and rich overbearing president will come out to scold you, wake you up and save you in the middle age and unfortunate family and marriage. At this point, Jin Dong went further and further on the elite road. He went far, so did his fans, and even produced a lot of social news at one time. Several middle-aged women appeared in the report, because they were infatuated with Jin Dong online, which led to being cheated, leaving and divorcing.

As a result, in the past few years, the audience saw that Jin Dong thought he really became the so-called elite. I can’t extricate myself from indulging in similar characters in the play, and I also create such a person design for everyone outside the play.

However, I don’t know if he has been suspended for too long, and he can’t eat all over the world with one move, and it is not good to start several plays in succession. However, God really gives Jin Dong face, and today he has found a kind, which not only has an elite style, but also balances the feeling of veteran cadres and grounding gas. They are tall once more in the spring wind, a fan of middle-aged women who was once harvested by him, contributed ratings to Jin Dong because of their uncompromising mastery of remote control at home.

In any case, an actor can be sure of finding a new way to play, and it is even more gratifying to find a new way to play and achieve good results.

Time is a butcher’s knife, which makes people old.

But when this knife touches my favorite bean, it is still a bit unacceptable.

The actor of "Young Malfoy" in Harry Potter used to be handsome and aggressive in the movie, but now his face is rapidly aging in his early 30 s, attracting many netizens to shout: How did young Malfoy suddenly become "Old Malfoy"?

On the other side of the continent, in eastern Asia, the situation is quite the opposite. For example, some time ago, Nicholas Tse, the "young male god" who was searched on the same box with Ding Zhen, is now 41 years old, but he still looks like a teenager. With Ding Zhen, who is 21 years old, it seems that the two brothers are not at odds.

So, why do Europeans and Americans (especially white people) look old when they are young, while Asians of the same age (especially yellow people in East Asia) look relatively young?

The reason for this difference is the large inventory

1. Racial genes

● MC1R gene

A study in Modern Biology has confirmed the relationship between perceived age and genetic genes. In Dutch and British people, there is a significant correlation between DNA variation in MC1R gene and perceived age. The variation of MC1R gene will make them look two years older than their actual age.

● Facial skin and facial features structure

The relative advantages of Europeans and Americans’ faces are clearer contours, more three-dimensional facial features and better looking on camera. But at the same time, it also suffers from the loss of collagen with age, and it is more prone to problems such as fine lines, dryness and depression.

Anne Hathaway, less than 40 years old, looks older.

(But it is said that this picture has been sharpened.)

A study on the characteristics of aging face of indoor working women in China and France shows that the average time of facial wrinkles of French women is 10 years later than that of French women.

Compared with Europeans and Americans, Asians not only appear wrinkles later, but also have thicker collagen layers, with gentle facial features and round and full faces, so they look younger.

However, the skin characteristics of Asians are not absolutely perfect, and it is easier for them to have decrees and sagging skin structure at a young age. Compared with Europeans and Americans, they are more prone to tanning and yellowing.

(Kong Xiaozhen, 2 years older than Anne Hathaway)

In addition, Europeans and Americans are generally tall (especially the Dutch, who are jokingly called 2m per capita), giving people a very mature feeling, while Asians are relatively petite and tend to look young.

Therefore, many compatriots go abroad to study, work and travel, often like "straying into a giant country" and being regarded as minors or child laborers by foreigners.

2. Living habits

● Like outdoor sports, sunbathing and tanning.

Asians have always regarded white as beauty, so they pay great attention to sun protection. Europeans and Americans, on the other hand, like to tan their naturally fair skin with wheat color and bronze color through outdoor sports, sunbathing, tanning, etc., thinking that it looks "healthy" and is a symbol of status (wealth).

But in fact, this is not healthy at all. The whiter the skin color, the easier it is to get sunburned and get old (on the contrary, the darker the skin, the easier it is to get tanned, but it is more anti-aging).

Pure sunlight without any sun protection can easily lead to a series of skin problems such as polymorphic solar rash, solar urticaria, chronic actinic dermatitis, pigmented diseases, and even skin cancer.

(Sunburn and photoaging)

Low expression.

Europeans and Americans are used to using exaggerated mood, actions and expressions to express their feelings (Oh my God), but long-term exaggerated expressions may cause and deepen expression lines.

At first, expression lines only appear when making dynamic expressions (that is, dynamic lines). Over time, facial muscles are repeatedly folded and become static lines, which take root on the face and will not disappear even if you don’t make expressions.

(dragon mother who is committed to speaking with expressions)

3. beard and body hair

Due to environmental factors affecting racial genes, Europeans and Americans are generally born with thicker chest hair than Asians. At the same time, they also like to grow beard, chest hair, leg hair and other body hair, which is considered very sexy, mature and manly (daddy-like).

However, our Asian people don’t have so much hair, and we are also used to trimming beard and leg hair, which looks clean, tidy and refreshing.

(The same person, from fresh meat to uncle, only needs a pile of beard and body hair)

4. Baldness and alopecia

It goes without saying who looks older with sparse and bald hair and thick hair.

In China, the proportion of male seborrheic alopecia is about 19.75%, but in Europe and America, the proportion of seborrheic alopecia basically increases with age. About 30% of 30-year-old men suffer from this problem, and about 50% of 50-year-old men have seborrheic alopecia.

Seborrheic alopecia runs in families, such as Prince William of England, his father Prince Charles and his grandfather Prince Philip, all of whom are typical seborrheic alopecia patients.

(Prince William, who went bald at an early age)

5. obesity and diet

Because the diet structure in Europe and America is mostly fried and baked sweets, and healthy foods such as fruits and vegetables are much more expensive than junk food, many Europeans and Americans are seriously overweight and completely out of shape.

Moreover, some studies have shown that high-fat diet can cause inflammatory damage through skin oxidative stress, which will lead to skin aging.

Being fat may really look old, while people with well-proportioned bodies will look younger and more energetic than obese people as a whole.

For example, chestnuts, Xiao Lizi and Gong Yoo are typical representatives of uncles in the East and the West, but Gong Yoo, who pays attention to diet and is keen on fitness, has always kept a good figure, giving people the illusion that they are not the same generation, but they are actually only a few years apart.

(Little Plum who loves to play with water guns VS Agassi who loves to roll iron)

6. Aesthetic culture

Most European and American women like smoky heavy makeup, which makes them more mature and deep. Asian women generally prefer light pink makeup to create a pure and pseudo-plain look.

(They are all great beauties, but the makeup is still light and the makeup is more tender)

In addition, European and American costumes, as well as cultural traditions such as European and American teenagers’ early contact with dance activities, will also make them look older than their actual age (while most of our Asian friends wait until they work in universities to concentrate on dressing up and socializing).

(Millie in 2004 vs Angie Chiu in 53, age difference is 51 years).

Experiences and habits of skin care and anti-aging that can be used for reference

Although we are indeed younger than Europeans and Americans, aging is the only way for everyone in the world, and it is inevitable for everyone. We will eventually usher in the moment of getting old.

There are also some Europeans and Americans who are young, while some Asians are very old, in which acquired maintenance and makeup and hair styling play an important role.

Moreover, as mentioned above, Asians are more prone to dark yellow tanning and sagging face, so we can’t completely ignore skin care and anti-aging.

Therefore, from the above inventory of the reasons for the differences in aging degree between Europeans and Americans and Asians, we can learn from the fact that by scientifically caring skin and dressing up, we can delay the skin aging speed and look younger than our actual age and peers:

● Daily cleaning, moisturizing and sun protection, especially sun protection.

● Choose a makeup, hairstyle and clothing that suits you or is tender.

● Adhere to the use of anti-aging skin care products, and consider anti-aging medical beauty projects if the budget is sufficient.

● Control weight, eat and live healthily, don’t stay up late to smoke, and pay attention to the management of expression.

● Trim and shave off the excess beard hair regularly. If you are bald at an early age, consider wearing a wig or planting hair.

RMB deposit interest rate, lowered again!

On May 20th, official website, a big state-owned bank, updated the deposit interest rate table, RMB deposit interest rate table and listed interest rate table one after another to update the deposit interest rate. This interest rate adjustment will be implemented from May 20, 2025.

Among them, the demand interest rate is lowered by 5 basis points (BP) to 0.05%; The lump-sum deposit and withdrawal for three months, six months, one year and two years are all lowered by 15BP, which are 0.65%, 0.85%, 0.95% and 1.05% respectively; The three-year and five-year fixed lump-sum deposits and withdrawals are lowered by 25BP, which are 1.25% and 1.3% respectively. The three periods of fixed deposit and withdrawal, lump deposit and withdrawal, and deposit and interest withdrawal are all lowered by 15BP. The interest rate of 7-day notice deposit is lowered by 15BP to 0.3%.

ICBC:

Agricultural Bank:

Bank of China:

China Construction Bank:

Bank of Communications:

Postal savings bank:

The Head Stock Bank has followed up synchronously. At present, the official website savings deposit interest rate table of China Merchants Bank has been updated.

The last time a large state-owned bank lowered the interest rate on time deposits, it was in October 2024. At that time, the listing rates of three-month, six-month, one-year, two-year, three-year and five-year time deposits were all lowered by 25BP to 0.80%, 1.00%, 1.10%, 1.20%, 1.50% and 1.55%. The interest rate of 7-day call deposit decreased by 25BP to 0.45%, and that of 1-day call deposit decreased by 5BP to 0.10%.

It is worth noting that each round of deposit interest rate reduction is generally started by state-owned banks, followed by stock banks and local small and medium-sized banks. After the six major banks and China Merchants Bank took the lead in lowering the deposit interest rate, it is expected that more banks will follow suit.

For this deposit interest rate cut, the market has long expected. Earlier, Pan Gongsheng, governor of the central bank, announced at the press conference of the State Council Office on May 7 that the policy interest rate would be lowered by 0.1 percentage point. After the market-oriented interest rate transmission, it is expected that the quoted interest rate (LPR) in the loan market will be lowered by 0.1 percentage point. At the same time, it will also guide commercial banks to lower the deposit interest rate accordingly through the interest rate self-discipline mechanism.

Ming Ming, chief economist of CITIC Securities, pointed out in the research report that the market is likely to usher in the adjustment of deposit interest rate again in the second and third quarters of this year from the time law of deposit interest rate reduction. By combing the history of deposit interest rate reduction, the following three laws are summarized: first, the rhythm of interest rate reduction is often "big banks lead, small banks follow"; Second, regardless of lowering the self-discipline ceiling of deposit interest rate and suspending some high-interest products, we only observe the time when the deposit listing interest rate is adjusted, and the time interval varies from 3 to 9 months; Third, there are more and more ways to control the deposit interest rate. In addition to directly adjusting the deposit listing interest rate, it can also guide the bank’s debt cost to drop by restricting other high-interest deposits.

　　CCTV News:Recently, the international gold price has risen by 13%, and with the price increase and the peak consumption season of the Spring Festival, all major gold stores in Beijing have ushered in the first sales climax of the Lunar New Year of the Pig.

　　Beijing: Gold products sell well. Sales in many shopping malls increased by 10% year-on-year.

　　In Caibai Shopping Mall, the largest gold sales store in Beijing, although it is morning time, many consumers have gathered here. The Spring Festival holiday is the traditional peak season for Chinese to buy gold. Although the price of thousands of gold has recently risen to 353 yuan per gram, it has not affected their enthusiasm for buying gold.

　　Later, CCTV financial reporters saw in Beijing Guohua Shopping Mall and Sun Jindian that there were many consumers in the two shopping malls, and gold ornaments and transfer beads with the meaning of the Year of the Pig were especially favored by consumers. Therefore, during the Spring Festival, the sales volume of several shopping malls increased by more than 10% year-on-year.

　　In addition, the ancient gold ornaments made according to China’s ancient traditional crafts made their debut in many shopping malls, and became the sales darling of this year’s Spring Festival gold market with its heavy historical heritage.

　　Yu Guiying, general manager of Beijing Sun Gold Store: Especially bracelets and some pendants with inscriptions are sold quickly on the counter. Many styles are in short supply and need to be reserved.

　　Investment fund sales increased, and long-term investment became a trend.

　　CCTV financial reporters learned that some consumers are more willing to buy investment money than gold jewelry, which is also due to the safe-haven advantage of gold. Some consumers have taken a fancy to the value-added potential of gold and lengthened the investment cycle. Ms. Zhou from Beijing has many years of experience in gold investment. Last year, she made two round-trip transactions with the principal of 200,000 yuan. The annual yield reached 20% and the net profit was 40,000 yuan. Recently, she saw that the international gold price stopped falling and rebounded, and the domestic investment price was more than 280 yuan per gram, so she was ready to shoot again.

　　Investor Ms. Zhou: I have been buying it for several years. It is a kind of investment.

　　In contrast, Aunt Wang has different ideas from Ms. Zhou. A few years ago, Aunt Wang bought a few hundred grams of investment money with the crowd. At that time, the market price was more than 300 yuan per gram, and it has been stuck ever since. Therefore, it has become her habit to pay close attention to the trend of gold price, and the recent rise in gold price has also touched Aunt Wang’s heart.

　　Investor Aunt Wang: I’ve been saving it for three or four years, and I haven’t sold it, but I’m basically not worried. I have to sell it when I can.

　　CCTV financial reporters learned that during the Spring Festival, the sales of investment funds in several major shopping malls in Beijing increased by an average of 15%. According to industry insiders, the global economic development still faces many uncertainties in 2019, and the safe-haven function of gold is more prominent, but whether it can continue the steady upward trend depends on multiple factors.

　　Gold analyst Jiao Guangyi: There are several factors. The first is the international debt crisis. The second is the economic slowdown in various countries, as well as the geopolitical factors of uncertainty, which will affect the trend of gold.

　　On November 30th, local time, the Federal Reserve released the National Economic Situation Survey Report (also known as the "Beige Book"), which showed that rising interest rates and high inflation continued to put pressure on economic activities, and the growth rate of the US economy slowed down. Federal Reserve Chairman Powell said on the same day that the Fed will continue to raise interest rates, but it may start to narrow the rate hike from December. The signal that the Fed will slow down the rate hike has boosted market confidence to some extent. However, under the current background of high inflation and rising interest rates, the US economic growth prospects are still not optimistic.

　　The negative impact of high interest rates and high inflation continues.

　　The report shows that rising interest rates and high inflation continue to put pressure on economic activities, and economic activities in the United States are basically flat or slightly rising, which is not as good as the moderate growth during the last "Beige Book". Among them, the economies of new york, Kansas City and other jurisdictions declined slightly, and only five jurisdictions experienced slight or moderate economic growth.

　　In the same period, the number of employed people in most jurisdictions increased moderately, but the demand for labor weakened as a whole. Although the labor market is still tense, it is easier for enterprises to recruit and retain existing employees. Science and technology, finance, real estate and other industries are decentralizing layoffs, and some enterprises are reluctant to lay off employees because of recruitment difficulties. On the average, wages have increased at a moderate rate, and the wage pressure in a few jurisdictions has eased. Looking ahead, employment growth tends to be stable or slow down.

　　In terms of prices, consumer prices in most jurisdictions rose moderately or strongly, but the overall increase slowed down, reflecting the double weakening effect brought about by the improvement of supply chain and weakening demand. Retail prices are facing downward pressure, but food prices in some areas have further increased or remained high. Inflation is expected to remain at the current level or rise moderately.

　　According to the contents of this "Beige Book", the rise in interest rates has caused different degrees of negative impact on consumer spending, manufacturing activities, real estate and construction, financial lending, commercial mergers and acquisitions and other fields. The report also shows that concerns about the economic recession are affecting corporate decision-making and consumer behavior in some jurisdictions.

　　The Federal Reserve publishes the "Beige Book" eight times a year, and conducts a thorough analysis of the economic situation in the United States through regional reserve banks. This report is an important reference for the regular meeting of the Federal Reserve’s monetary policy.

　　Or will start to slow down the pace of interest rate hikes.

　　While acknowledging that rising interest rates have brought "side effects" to the economy, the Federal Reserve has also released a signal that it will slow down interest rate hikes. Speaking at the Brookings Institution on November 30th, Federal Reserve Chairman Powell said that the Federal Reserve will continue to raise the federal funds rate, but it may reduce the rate increase from December.

　　Powell said that the Fed "still has a long way to go" from the goal of restoring price stability. Policy measures such as raising interest rates and reducing bonds usually take some time to play a role in the entire economic system. In the future, the Fed will continue to maintain its restrictive monetary policy stance until substantial progress is made in reducing inflation.

　　He said that when the interest rate is close to "the restrictive level enough to reduce inflation", it is "reasonable" for the Fed to slow down the rate hike, and "it may be the time to slow down the rate hike at the December meeting at the earliest". However, at present, the Fed has not made significant progress in reducing inflation.

　　After Powell’s speech, the US stock market soared. As of the close of the day, the Standard & Poor’s 500-stock index rose 3.09%, ending three consecutive days of decline and closing at 4080.11 points; Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 2.18% to 34,589.77 points; The Nasdaq Composite Index rose 4.41% to close at 11,468.00. Affected by the performance of the US stock market and other good news, major stock markets in Asia also generally rose on December 1.

　　In addition, the yield of US Treasury bonds has fallen sharply. According to the Associated Press, the yield of 10-year US Treasury bonds dropped to 3.65% from 3.75% at the close of the previous day. The yield of two-year treasury bonds, which tends to track the market’s expectations of the Fed’s future actions, fell from 4.48% to 4.34%.

　　Greg Basuke, CEO of AXA Investment Company, said that Powell’s statement is the "certainty" that investors are looking for in the Fed’s interest rate hike expectations. It is expected that the Fed will probably raise interest rates by 50 basis points in December.

　　Since March this year, the Federal Reserve has raised interest rates six times in a row, including 75 basis points in the last four times. According to a tracking data of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, it is estimated that the possibility that the Fed will shrink the rate hike to 50 basis points by then is about 77%.

　　The uncertainty of economic prospects is rising.

　　Although the signal that the interest rate hike will slow down has boosted market confidence to some extent, in the context of high inflation and rising interest rates, the prospects for US economic growth are still uncertain. According to the Beige Book, looking forward to the future, all jurisdictions believe that the uncertainty of the economic outlook has increased, and the pessimism about the economic outlook has also intensified.

　　The latest economic data is mixed. According to the revised data released by the US Department of Commerce on November 30th, the gross domestic product (GDP) of the United States increased by 2.9% at an annual rate in the third quarter of this year, 0.3 percentage points higher than the initial data released at the end of October. However, personal consumption expenditure, which accounts for about 70% of the US economy, increased by 1.7%, still less than the 2% increase in the second quarter. In addition, residential investment contracted for the sixth consecutive quarter, the longest duration since 2006.

　　Data from the US Department of Commerce also showed that the US merchandise trade deficit surged by 7.7% to $99 billion in October due to the decline in exports. Reuters said that the sharp expansion of the trade deficit means that the trade performance may drag down the GDP data in the fourth quarter.

　　The inflation outlook is still facing uncertainty. According to the latest data from the US Department of Labor, the year-on-year increase of the consumer price index (CPI) in October was the smallest since January this year, and the year-on-year increase of the producer price index (PPI) in October has also continued to narrow since June. In this regard, Powell said that short-term data may be deceptive. At present, inflation is still at a high level, and more evidence is needed to prove that inflation is actually declining.

　　In addition, the tension in the labor market has not been significantly improved. The increase in economic uncertainty and the recent layoffs of large companies have made Americans even more reluctant to leave their current jobs. The turnover rate, which is regarded as an indicator of confidence in the job market, has dropped from the previous 2.7% to 2.6%. In November, the recruitment of American companies fell to the slowest pace in the past two years. The increase in the number of job vacancies also shows that the shortage of workers persists, which economists say is one of the reasons for the slowdown in employment growth.

　　Isfar Munir, an economist at Citigroup in new york, said that the data show that the labor market has hardly loosened up so far. Reuters reported that the tight labor market made the Federal Reserve continue to tighten monetary policy, which aggravated the risk of economic recession next year. However, most economists believe that the recession may be short and mild.

　　Powell believes that it is still possible for the US economy to achieve a "soft landing", but the possibility of achieving this result is declining. (Reporter Liao Bingqing comprehensive report)
