  In order to coordinate the implementation of inspection and rectification, the Party Group of the State Council Overseas Chinese Affairs Office set up a leading group for inspection and rectification, and its office is located in the Party Committee of the government. The leading party group actively performs the main responsibility, adheres to the problem orientation, and scientifically formulates the list of problems, the list of responsibilities and the list of rectification according to the feedback from the central inspection. The party group has held nine special meetings to study the party building work, including eight inspections and three special inspections.

The party secretary set an example, actively fulfilled the responsibility of the first responsible person, comprehensively grasped the inspection and rectification, carefully guided and revised the rectification plan of the whole office, personally questioned key and difficult issues, and personally supervised important matters. During the rectification period, he visited five departments and units and talked with party and government leaders of key departments and units many times.

For each question, the responsible leader, responsible department and completion time limit were clarified one by one. On October 18th, all departments and units put forward rectification opinions on the list of problems, and the patrol rectification office carefully summarized and sorted them out, and formulated a comprehensive rectification plan. After careful discussion, study and revision at the party group meeting, a "1+6" rectification plan system (1 comprehensive rectification plan and 6 special rectification plans) was formulated to promote rectification in an all-round, three-dimensional and dead-end way. Among them, the comprehensive rectification plan put forward 80 rectification measures; The six special rectification plans include giving play to the role of overseas Chinese to help build the "Belt and Road", strengthening party building in government organs, and selecting and employing people.

The patrol and rectification office will also sort out the comprehensive rectification plan according to the rectification measures led by each party group comrade and the rectification measures led by various departments and units, and establish a rectification and supervision work account to supervise one by one to ensure that the rectification tasks are completed on time and achieved practical results.

  1. Enhance the "four consciousnesses" and strengthen the construction of the party group.

  In view of the inspection opinions, the the State Council Overseas Chinese Affairs Office’s leadership is not strong enough, the team lacks cohesion and combat effectiveness, and the core role has not been effectively formed. The the State Council Overseas Chinese Affairs Office made a deep reflection and made serious rectification.

Firmly establish a clear orientation of grasping the grassroots and strengthening the foundation, and stipulate that party members should conduct grassroots party building research once a year. On the other hand, on the basis of the weekly meeting of the original director’s office, the monthly meeting of the director’s office has been added, requiring the top leaders of all departments and units to hold their own team meetings to study the work before the meeting, and report their monthly work and plans for the next month at the monthly meeting, which must include party building and ideological work. The party group set an example, and the director’s office meeting also deployed and inspected the party building and party style and clean government construction with the business work, and urged the implementation in the form of meeting minutes, grasping the first level and compacting the main responsibility.

Party committees and grass-roots party organizations are required to implement each work measure item by item in accordance with the requirements of the "two studies and one work" study and education implementation plan. Open "in the office intranet""Two studies and one doing" study and education column, announced to the whole office the "two studies and one doing" study and education plan of the party group and grass-roots party organizations and the implementation progress, and accepted the supervision of the masses in party member. Taking the special rectification of the problem of "black under the lights" in party member as the starting point, we will comprehensively strengthen the basic institutional construction of party building in government organs, establish and improve the system of "three meetings and one lesson" and the change of party organizations at the grass-roots level, print the minutes of branch meetings, etc., and carry out party member study and education, strictly organize life, perform the duties of branch secretaries, summarize and promote the application of branch work law, focus on rectifying the centralized investigation of organizational relations in party member, and investigate and clean up party member’s violation of discipline and law at the grass-roots level every month.

Instruct Jinan University and Huaqiao University to strictly enforce the regulations on student status and tuition fees.

  (4) On the construction of discipline inspection cadres.

  In the case of very tight cadre establishment, the Party Group of the State Council Overseas Chinese Affairs Office decided to increase the cadre establishment for the Party Committee of the organ, and set up the Office of the Discipline Inspection Commission of the organ to be fully responsible for the discipline inspection work. During the rectification period, the Commission for Discipline Inspection of the organs held a meeting of discipline inspection cadres of organs and units directly under Beijing to strengthen business guidance and deploy work tasks.

  (5) Make full use of the "four forms" of supervision and discipline, hold accountable the cadres who have problems in fulfilling their main responsibilities, and educate and alert the cadres in party member.

China Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Lu Kang

       Lu Kang said, it seems that the British side needs us to remind it every six months that Hong Kong affairs are purely China’s internal affairs, and the British side has no right to intervene, and there is no room for intervention. The so-called "Semi-annual Report on Hong Kong" published by the British government makes irresponsible remarks and comments on Hong Kong affairs, trying to show its influence on Hong Kong affairs, which can only be futile and will only arouse the resentment of China people.

       Poisoning by former Russian spies triggered a diplomatic storm between Britain and Russia

       The poisoning of former Russian double agents in Salisbury, England, continues to ferment, and the relationship between Russia and Britain has taken a turn for the worse. The two governments have been arguing with each other for days, and both sides have been very tough and their words have become increasingly fierce.

       On the 15th, the British Defence Secretary said that the poisoning incident of former Russian double agents in Britain was "undoubtedly" caused by Russia. For Williamson’s accusation, Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov made an unceremonious rebuttal in Astana on the 16th.

       Lavrov: "Such a handsome and lovely young man may also hope to leave something in history by his hot remarks. British Prime Minister Theresa May said that Russia ‘ Very likely ’ He is famous for taking full responsibility in the poisoning incident, so he (the British Defense Minister) wants to rely on Russia ‘ Go away and shut up ’ Be famous. I don’t understand, maybe it’s because he is uneducated. "

       In addition, British Foreign Secretary Johnson No.16 directly pointed the finger at Russian President Vladimir Putin. Johnson said that they believed that Putin was the behind-the-scenes indicator of the poisoning incident. Once Johnson’s remarks were announced, the Russian side immediately responded.

He also said that Russia will soon announce countermeasures against Britain.

Employers who abuse labor dispatch cannot escape the responsibility of employment.

  According to the relevant person in charge of Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, in the labor security supervision and law enforcement in 2009, it was found that the number of labor dispatched workers increased, and some employers evaded the responsibilities and obligations of employment, abused labor dispatch, and paid different wages for equal work.

  At present, Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security is actively working with the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, the All-China Federation of Trade Unions and other units to study relevant policies and measures to standardize the management of labor dispatch, and further standardize the rights and obligations of employers, labor dispatch companies and workers.

  A large number of labor dispatch workers are detrimental to the rights and interests of workers.

  In an interview with reporters recently, the person in charge of relevant departments in the National People’s Congress Standing Committee (NPCSC) said that the Labor Contract Law clearly defines the restrictive attitude towards the employment form of labor dispatch. As a flexible employment mechanism, labor dispatch has its advantages, but in any country, labor dispatch is an auxiliary employment form, not a mainstream form.

  "As a new employment method, labor dispatch has played a certain role in meeting the flexible employment needs of employers and solving the’ friction unemployment’ caused by information asymmetry, but it has also caused problems such as different pay for the same work, unpaid or unpaid social insurance premiums between the dispatched workers and their enterprises, which has damaged the legitimate rights and interests of the dispatched workers to some extent." The person in charge of Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security said.

  Wang Zhifu (a pseudonym) is a labor dispatcher of a county telecommunication bureau in Linxia Hui Autonomous Prefecture, Gansu Province. At the age of 50, he entered the unit as a farmer contract worker in 1983 to do line maintenance work, and now his monthly salary is 500 yuan.

  "Regular workers with similar working age can get more than 2,000." Although it is not the same job as others, Wang Zhifu still feels that wages are rising too slowly. "Our work is very hard and we run outside almost every day. Now, I want a bowl of 8 yuan money for fried noodles. This money is even very reluctant to eat at ordinary times. "

  In the interview, the reporter learned that it is difficult to protect the rights and interests of labor dispatch workers. Compared with different pay for equal work, work-related injuries are more harmful to them. Labor dispatch workers who suffer work-related injuries are often pushed by employers to labor dispatch companies, which are generally in other places, and many of them have not taken out work-related injury insurance for their employees at all, so it is difficult for workers to get compensation for work-related injuries.

  The labor contract law clearly restricts the dispatch of labor.

  The reporter learned that the labor contract law clearly restricts the employment of labor dispatch and stipulates the scope of application of labor dispatch, that is, it is generally implemented in temporary, auxiliary or alternative jobs. In addition, it also stipulates that the dispatched workers have the right to equal pay for equal work with the workers of the employing units. Employers are required to implement national labor standards, provide corresponding working conditions and labor protection, pay overtime and performance bonuses, and provide relevant welfare benefits. For those who continue to employ, a normal wage adjustment mechanism should be implemented. Importantly, the law also stipulates that the labor dispatch unit shall not deduct the labor remuneration paid by the employing unit to the dispatched workers according to the labor dispatch agreement.

  "These regulations restrict employers and labor dispatch units, protect the rights and interests of dispatched workers, and greatly reduce the profit space of labor dispatch companies." Wang Xiangqian, director of the Labor Law Teaching and Research Section of China Institute of Labor Relations, said that the irrational prosperity of the current labor dispatch workers is that employers are unwilling to establish normal labor relations with workers out of misunderstanding of the labor contract law, and labor dispatch has become a way for employers to evade the regulation of the labor contract law.

  Wang Xiangqian explained that the most serious misunderstanding is the misunderstanding of the open-ended labor contract stipulated in the Labor Contract Law by the employer. Many employers believe that an open-ended labor contract with employees cannot be terminated, and even unqualified workers cannot be eliminated, thus affecting their employment autonomy.

  "This is a major misunderstanding. First of all, non-fixed-term labor contracts can be terminated, and as long as the employer has normal needs, it can terminate some non-fixed-term labor contracts. Not only can it be terminated, but the Labor Contract Law has also greatly relaxed the conditions for the employer to terminate the labor contract. " For example, Wang Xiangqian said that the Labor Contract Law stipulates that the objective conditions on which the labor contract was concluded have changed greatly, which makes it impossible to perform the labor contract. If the employer and the employee fail to reach an agreement on changing the contents of the labor contract through consultation, the employer can terminate it. For example, if the original business is not profitable and there are no jobs, the original contract can be cancelled.

  The labor contract law also stipulates various situations in which enterprises can make economic layoffs, while others, such as serious employees, appear.

  In case of fault or part-time job, the labor contract can also be terminated. In the regulations for the implementation of the Labor Contract Law, there are 14 cases in which the employer can terminate the labor contract with the employee.

  Labor dispatch can’t avoid the responsibility that enterprises should bear.

  Liu Jinying is a labor dispatch worker. In December, 2009, she had a labor dispute with a property management company in Beijing, and filed an arbitration, demanding that the property management company and the labor dispatch company bear joint liability. During the arbitration, the three parties reached a settlement agreement, and the two companies paid Liu Jinying 17,000 yuan in one lump sum.

  The labor contract law and the implementation regulations of the labor contract law clearly stipulate that if the labor dispatching unit or the employing unit causes damage to the dispatched employees, it shall bear joint liability.

  "Before the implementation of the Labor Contract Law, the employer used labor dispatch to avoid the employment responsibility that should be borne by the laborer, and the joint and several liability stipulated that the employer could not completely get rid of the responsibility to the laborer by using this method, and the dispatched employee could claim rights from either party." Tong Lihua, director of Beijing Zhicheng Legal Aid and Research Center for Migrant Workers, told the reporter that after the implementation of the new law, among the 18 aid cases involving labor dispatch, 6 cases were jointly and severally liable for compensation by labor dispatch units and employers.

  "Employers mistakenly believe that the use of labor dispatch workers can avoid the obligations stipulated in the labor law and reduce the cost of labor. The joint and several liability employers stipulated by law can not only avoid the employment responsibility, but also increase the employment risk and increase the employment cost due to the integrity of the labor dispatch company. " Wang Xiangqian said that, for example, the labor dispatch company escaped with unpaid wages. Although the employer has already paid the salary, the employer may have to pay the salary again as long as the laborer asks the employer to bear joint and several liabilities.

  Relevant judicial interpretations and regulations are being formulated and revised.

  Many experts and practitioners have pointed out that although the Labor Contract Law restricts the scope of employment of labor dispatch to temporary, auxiliary or alternative posts, the definition of "three natures" has not been defined, and it has not been explained whether the labor dispatch post must meet all three natures or only one of them. This is a big reason why many employers can use labor dispatch to exploit legal loopholes.

  In addition to the need to clarify the "three natures" issue, the Labor Contract Law stipulates that "labor dispatch is generally carried out in temporary, auxiliary or alternative jobs", and the "general" has also become the reason for employers to take advantage of legal loopholes. "In principle, the law stipulates that these three positions are applicable to labor dispatch, and special positions should be defined by law, not by employers." Wang Xiangqian explained that the law should be more detailed and clear, which is more conducive to law enforcement departments to investigate and deal with units that illegally use labor services to dispatch workers.

  It is understood that the Supreme People’s Court is currently formulating a judicial interpretation of the labor contract law, and Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security is also stepping up the revision and promulgation of labor dispatch regulations. The problem of illegal use of labor dispatch is expected to be solved.

Chinese Americans’ China New Year Parade: The Combination of China Culture and Western Tradition

China Spring Festival is one of the most influential traditional national festivals in the United States. As an immigrant society with diverse ethnic backgrounds, all ethnic groups living in the United States have more or less kept their own ways of spending the New Year. However, it seems that no ethnic group, like the Chinese, not only inherits the traditional customs of New Year’s Eve, giving red envelopes and giving gifts, but also organizes large-scale Spring Festival celebrations in public places, making the China Spring Festival a national carnival-that is, the China New Year Parade of American Chinese.

It should be said that the form of "parade" did not come from China, but from the western society with a long tradition of parade. Among them, there are demonstrations to express value propositions or political ideas, such as the "pride parade" to publicize gender freedom of marriage and love; There are also parades to celebrate religious festivals, such as the carnival parade, which originated from Catholic fasting. Many cities and towns in Europe have kept parades in traditional national costumes. Chinese Americans’ China New Year Parade is a way for Chinese to combine China tradition with western forms: it can be regarded as the localization of China tradition in western society, and it can also be regarded as a modern extension of western tradition in a multi-racial background.

San Francisco, Los Angeles and new york, as the settlements of Chinese Americans, naturally gather the most intensive Spring Festival celebrations. It is the China Spring Festival celebrations in these three cities that have really expanded the influence of China Spring Festival in the United States, so that foreign friends who can’t speak Chinese will roll up their tongues and say "Happy New Year" to Chinese friends during the Spring Festival.

San Francisco

San Francisco is the first Chinatown in the North American continent and the first stop for early American immigrants to set foot in North China. The China Spring Festival Parade in San Francisco can be traced back to 1858. The influx of immigrants from China due to the Gold Rush combined the tradition of drum music and lanterns in China with the form of parade in the United States, and promoted the establishment of a fairly stable parade in the municipal government. During the development of a century and a half, the San Francisco Spring Festival Parade has grown in scale, and now it has become the most influential Spring Festival celebration outside China.

San Francisco 2017 Spring Festival Parade.

But strictly speaking, the Spring Festival parade in San Francisco seems to celebrate the Lantern Festival instead of the Spring Festival. It is called "San Francisco China New Year Parade", but the annual time is the Lantern Festival in China; The form of celebration with floats as the main body seems to be implementing the spirit of the Lantern Festival. For more than 100 years, the San Francisco Spring Festival parade started from Market Street, drumming, singing and dancing all the way, walked up Grant Street along Keerney Street, passed Union Square, and finally arrived in China City.

Dragon and lion dance, silk fan dance, ribbon dance, stilt walking and traditional martial arts are the reserved programs of the parade, which are mainly performed by Chinese schools and Chinese martial arts societies in the San Francisco Bay Area. However, today, the Spring Festival Parade in San Francisco is not only a national activity within the Chinese community, but also a city celebration with the participation of the whole people. San Francisco municipal departments and public schools often arrange dragon dances and martial arts performances. For example, in the recent Spring Festival parade in 2017, both the security department and the fire department in San Francisco brought dragon and lion dances. Of course, there are also some schools that cut corners. There are neither traditional performances nor national costumes. They just pull the band over to make up the numbers. In suits and ties, the marching middle school band played drums and trumpets solemnly, playing "Congratulations on Making a Rich" all the way, which made people laugh.

In addition to the parade, San Francisco also has food week, New Year market, "YMCA Spring Festival Run Run" and other activities; It’s just that these activities are of a commercial nature, which can be very busy for businesses and advertisers in San Francisco.

New York

New york, as the largest Chinatown in North America, is naturally a celebration center for the Spring Festival in China. Compared with the national China Spring Festival Parade in San Francisco, the Spring Festival celebrations in new york are more dispersed and diverse. Judging from this year’s activity schedule, in addition to the "Fireworks Celebration and Cultural Festival" held in Roosevelt Park on New Year’s Eve, there are many street performances attended by Chinese folk music societies, Tai Chi societies and Qigong societies on New Year’s Day. In Brooklyn, the Brooklyn China-US Federation organized a parade with makeup in Sunset Park. In Queens, residents of Flushing Chinatown also have spontaneous parades to celebrate; In Manhattan, many office buildings are decorated with lanterns and red lights to welcome the China New Year, including the Empire State Building.

New york also held a city-scale Spring Festival parade like San Francisco. This year’s parade was held on February 5th, which is the 18th parade without interruption. Although the history of parades in San Francisco is not as long as that in San Francisco, thanks to new york’s geographical location and huge Chinese community, there are more parades and people participating in the activities than in San Francisco, and the duration is longer-from 12 noon to 4 pm.

In addition, as an artistic and cultural center, new york’s Spring Festival celebrations also make full use of local museum resources. During the Spring Festival and Lantern Festival in China, the Metropolitan Museum has a series of cultural activities, including puppet shows, Peking Opera performances, origami classes and tea parties. The Chinese Museum of the United States has also launched China handicraft exhibition, Chinese cooking class and China dance performance in time to attract tourists.

The most noteworthy thing about the Spring Festival in new york is that in mid-2015, Mayor new york announced that new york public schools would have a holiday in China New Year. Chinese people have been working hard to make the Spring Festival in China a legal holiday for a long time, and the annual signature petition to the White House has never stopped. The holiday of public schools in new york is probably a small achievement of this sport.

Los Angeles

Los Angeles, located in southern California, is another important Chinese settlement, and of course it is also an important New Year celebration meeting place. The prosperous entertainment industry in Los Angeles makes the New Year celebrations here more interesting. In addition to the "Fireworks Run in China City" and the Spring Festival celebrations in satellite cities, there is also Disney’s China New Year-Mickey Mouse in Tang suit, Princess in Hanfu, various China cuisines and Mulan.

Los Angeles Disney China New Year.

The Spring Festival Parade in Los Angeles is the most important New Year’s event in Southern California, and it is also held in Chinatown. It is called "Golden Dragon Parade". The 2017 Golden Dragon Parade, the 118th in history, started at 1 pm on February 4th and lasted for three hours. About forty teams took part in the parade. Like the parades in San Francisco and new york, these teams come from municipal authorities, schools, independent orchestras, martial arts associations, cultural groups and enterprises.

Although the official claims that the Golden Dragon Parade originated more than 100 years ago, it is the last 20 years that this celebration has really developed into a scale and entered the public eye. In 1898, the Los Angeles Dragon and Lion Dance Team participated in the Los Angeles City Carnival Parade. In order to hold an independent parade with a certain scale of dragon and lion dances, the local Chinese Chamber of Commerce has made unremitting efforts to raise funds. Since then, with the influx of new immigrants, this parade has continued to grow and develop. After the Vietnam War in 1975, the arrival of Southeast Asian immigrants brought more Buddhist temples and ceremonies. In addition to Vietnamese song and dance performances entering the parade, temple fairs also became a landscape of the New Year celebrations in Los Angeles.

American Chinese have been far away from their home country for a long time, but they have not given up their attachment and dependence on their home culture. Although people often say that the United States is a melting pot, in fact, Chinese Americans have never completely abandoned their own culture in the process of communication and integration with other ethnic groups. Times have changed, and many of the second and third generations of Chinese immigrants no longer know Chinese, but they still maintain a boxing heart for the culture of their home country.

Being in the front line of anti-epidemic, his greatest wish is to let all patients go home healthily.

Cctv newsHe works 15 to 18 hours a day. At the busiest time, he needs to be responsible for screening and treatment of three wards, an ICU ward and a fever clinic. Liang Lianchun spent the whole Spring Festival in the hospital. Since the outbreak, he has been fighting in the front line continuously, and his 86-year-old father is looking forward to having a reunion dinner with him, but he has never been able to do so.

Liang Lianchun is the chief doctor in the Department of Infectious Diseases of Beijing You ‘an Hospital, and has been deeply involved in the treatment of infectious diseases for more than 30 years. The fight against the "epidemic" rushed to the forefront of treating diseases and saving lives, and he did not hesitate.

Every day, "stepping on hot wheels", he said that old comrades should take the lead as models.

At the early stage of "anti-epidemic", he judged that the disease was not an ordinary infectious disease and was highly contagious according to the development of the epidemic situation in Wuhan and his own experience in the prevention and treatment of major infectious diseases, so he must adhere to scientific prevention and control and precise treatment.

He formulated standardized diagnosis and treatment measures: three-level diagnosis and treatment system, difficult case discussion, multidisciplinary consultation, individualized treatment plan and the most stringent protective measures. At the same time, he led the You ‘an team into the front line of fighting the COVID-19 epidemic.

The fever clinic is one of the most difficult areas in the whole hospital during the epidemic. After Liang Lianchun took over the fever clinic, he rested at 12 o’clock in the evening and got up at 5 o’clock in the morning. With the increasing number of patients, it takes more than two hours to check the patients once, and several times a day. Wearing protective clothing, Liang Lianchun will feel obviously suffocated and his clothes are soaked just by saying a few more words.

Medicine is benevolence. As a doctor, we should not only solve the patients’ physical pain, but also give them spiritual comfort. Liang Lianchun, while trying to provide the best treatment for COVID-19 patients, also felt the patients’ inner fragility and fear. Therefore, he was always patient and meticulous with patients and tried his best to comfort them.

There have been patients who decided that COVID-19 could not be cured, and they were very excited, which brought great difficulties to medical staff in treatment and nursing. Liang Lianchun communicated with her face to face many times and patiently explained the characteristics of COVID-19. Later, the patient found that the evolution of his condition was exactly the same as that of Liang Lianchun, and he was relieved and actively cooperated with the treatment. After 12 days, she recovered and was discharged from hospital. She volunteered to donate convalescent plasma to treat critically ill patients.

Liang Lianchun believes that veteran comrades with rich experience should play a leading and exemplary role. Although the work is too busy but methodical, colleagues all laugh at him: "Every day is like stepping on hot wheels." 

"The wind and waves are coming," he said. There is no insurmountable difficulty.

Participated in the treatment and prevention of infectious diseases such as SARS, influenza A (H1N1) and plague, Liang Lianchun always said that with the coming of big waves, he can face every epidemic more calmly. Young medical staff were worried about Covid-19 at first, and were afraid of being infected. Experienced Liang Lianchun was the reassurance of the team.

The treatment of critically ill and critically ill COVID-19 patients is the top priority of medical work. A few days ago, a group of 80-and 90-year-old COVID-19 patients with heart diseases were transferred from the outer hospital to Beijing You ‘an Hospital. Their basic diseases were many and severe, and their nutrition was seriously deficient. Hospitals are facing great challenges in terms of professional technology and equipment conditions, which makes medical staff feel great pressure. In this case, Liang Lianchun entered the ICU ward twice a day and learned the first-hand information of each critically ill patient one by one. He met with the members of the expert group for the treatment of critically ill patients every day and made an individualized diagnosis and treatment plan for each critically ill and critically ill patient.

Working day and night, in exchange for more critically ill patients in COVID-19 turned the corner. As of February 26th, Beijing You ‘an Hospital has treated more than 200 confirmed and suspected patients, and more than 70% of the confirmed patients have been cured and discharged.

Liang Lianchun still remembers that in 2009, the influenza A (H1N1) was threatening, and he knew very little about the virus, so he could only learn about it by collecting information from the Internet at any time. From measuring body temperature to making treatment plan, to writing case report … … Liang Lianchun did it himself and stayed in the ward for three days and two nights at the longest.

When Liang Lianchun just graduated, he finally chose radiology because of misunderstanding and fear of infectious diseases. But after five years in radiology, he set a new goal for his medical career — — Go to the infection general department with the highest risk.

Years of experience in dealing with infectious diseases and infectious diseases have given Liang Lianchun an unrepeatable practice experience and medical quality. For the COVID-19 epidemic, he fully understands the worries of young medical staff, but he has no fear at all. In his view, fighting against any virus is just their natural daily work, and it is his most important thing to let all patients go home healthily. (Text/Wang Ruoyi)

Anti-war demonstrations broke out in many places in the United States, and demonstrators called for "the United States to withdraw from the Middle East."

  "In order to effectively respond to the repercussions of the attack on Soleimani, Trump needs the support of the American people, but now it seems that this task is very arduous." Kelly Magsamen, center for american progress’s vice president in charge of national security and international policy, said that the former US President George W. Bush and the director in charge of Iran affairs of the US National Security Council during the Obama administration recently wrote an article in the US Foreign Policy magazine expressing her concern.

  Demonstrators called for "the United States to withdraw from the Middle East"

  According to American media reports, although the Trump administration keeps saying that the air raid on Soleimani is to protect the lives of the American people, the American people don’t seem to buy it. Republican bosses on Capitol Hill praised the "rationality" of Trump’s order to kill Iranian general Soleimani, but the American people didn’t seem to think so. On January 4th, many anti-government demonstrations broke out in several American cities, including Washington, new york, Seattle, Boston and Los Angeles. People shouted slogans against "The Trump administration brought the United States into the war with Iran".

  According to Fox News, since Soleimani was killed, anti-war protests broke out in more than 70 cities across the United States on January 4th. An American anti-war alliance called "Stop the War Now and End Racism" has launched dozens of planned protests across the country. The alliance and the anti-war group Pink Code, which is led by women, issued a statement saying: "Unless Americans rise up and stop it, this war will sweep across the whole region and may soon evolve into a global conflict with unpredictable scope and extremely serious consequences." Agence France-Presse reported that about 200 people gathered in lafayette Square, north of the White House, chanting the slogan "We will not let our country fall into another reckless war." USA-Today reported that about 200 demonstrators shouted outside the Trump Tower in Chicago, "Without justice, there will be no peace, and the United States will withdraw from the Middle East." Demonstrators held signs that read, "Stop bombing Iraq, and American troops will withdraw from Iraq." According to the new york Daily News, about 250 people gathered in new york Times Square in foggy weather and told Trump that "the American people don’t want war". A 34-year-old nurse assistant named Gonzalez said, "Trump should try to deal with the problems of poverty reduction and racism in the United States, rather than waging war abroad. "She further said," Latin America, Afghanistan, Iraq — — Enough! There are still millions of poor people in the United States, and we must find a way to solve our own problems first. " In Boston, a group called "Massachusetts Peace Action Organization" organized hundreds of protesters to take to the streets and give speeches. Their placards read, "Don’t go to war with Iran, invest money in employment and education instead of war and occupation." Demonstrators suggested that candidates and congressmen participating in the US presidential election in 2020 should speak out against the current crisis. Protesters also called on Congress to take urgent action.

  Anxiety and doubt in the atmosphere of war

  The news that President Trump announced that he would send thousands more American soldiers to the Middle East caused an uproar among young Americans. According to media reports, according to American law, all American men between the ages of 18 and 25 need to apply for military service registration in case of government conscription. "The Middle East War is overcast", which makes young men of school age in the United States afraid of being drafted into the army. According to CNN, a large number of young Americans flocked to the recruitment website to find out whether they would be recruited and how to avoid it. Due to the excessive number of consultants and traffic overload, the website of the military service registration Bureau of the United States was once paralyzed.

  Many American experts and scholars are asking a question — — Is this useful? Tamara Witz, a senior researcher at the Middle East Policy Center of the Brookings Institution in the United States, questioned this: "The Trump administration asserted that the assassination of Soleimani by the US military prevented an imminent Iranian attack on the United States, but how can this be proved? The death of Soleimani will immediately bring the risk of escalating the conflict between the United States and Iraq — — Is this decision correct? " The American people also have doubts about this. During the protests on January 4th, many people criticized the Trump administration for killing Soleimani without consulting Congress, saying it was illegal. Kelly Magsamen analyzed in the article: "In the following days, Trump and his team need to gain the trust of the American people and convince the people that the Trump administration’s intelligence report proves the correctness of the US air strikes against Soleimani, but this is not an easy task for any US president after the Iraq war."

  Judging from the large-scale anti-war demonstrations, the American people have long been tired of war. According to Fox News, a protester in Times Square told the media: "Why does the United States constantly interfere in other countries and fight with other countries because war is profitable, and destruction and death are profitable? This is all that the United States (empire) is concerned about, and it values profit more than human life."

  The American media believe that the assassination of Soleimani made the American people suddenly feel the dangerous atmosphere of war. Although Iran is far from the United States in overall military strength, it has strong asymmetric combat capability. From this perspective, not only in the Middle East, but also at home, the United States has the possibility of being retaliated by Iran. Kelly Magsamen believes that Americans are not so safe now because Trump killed Soleimani. Because tactical "decapitation" can’t solve the Iranian problem, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps not only still exists, but also the possibility of attacking American interests will rise. In short, the United States is once again in the predicament of intensifying military conflicts in the Middle East, and the American people may have to bear the consequences in the days to come.

The movie My Last Year with Mom: Incomplete fireworks in the sky


Special feature of 1905 film network According to statistics, every three seconds, there will be another patient with Alzheimer’s disease in the world. For a long time, filmmakers have been thinking about how to tell the story of Alzheimer’s disease from different perspectives. On the eve of Mother’s Day, a Japanese film released on May 12th showed this theme again, telling how a son who lacks maternal love can understand his mother’s story by witnessing half of the fireworks. After the film was released, there was a polarization of word of mouth. Some viewers thought it was mysterious, slow-paced, far-fetched to go to the meeting, and the editing was sparse. Another part of the audience thinks that sincerity is delicate and has great stamina.


Lu Jianing, an associate professor at China Communication University, said: "These two views are reasonable. In a few words, it is very personal and tells a case-by-case emotion; The second word to describe the film is dislocation. The child was abandoned by his mother for a year, and his mother went to a new relationship willfully. The child is always fighting for love with a remembered mother lover. Under this mode, he often makes a cold attitude towards his sick mother. The film made the trauma particularly serious. Although Alzheimer’s disease runs through, it has become an opportunity to heal the trauma, which is very different from our understanding of the disease. Its privateness makes the film very delicate, and dislocation will make people feel that it is difficult to identify with many times. "


The film will cause such controversy, which is also related to the cultural differences between China and Japan. "My Last Year with Mom" is full of the aesthetic of mourning for things with Japanese characteristics. When touching external things, I feel deeply touched by the scene and naturally reveal deep and mysterious feelings. The hero has always been very resistant to his mother’s pursuit of half a firework, thinking that this is because she is missing her past lover. At the beginning, it was for this lover that her mother abandoned herself for a year. But it wasn’t until he witnessed it that he found out that what his mother had been thinking about was the half fireworks she saw through the opposite tall building in her hometown. When Alzheimer’s Harmo’s disease erodes the mother’s brain, but it doesn’t take away her love for herself, the most precious memory in her heart is still the happy time when she accompanied her son to grow up.


It is also witnessing the half fireworks with my own eyes, and the memories of living with my mother are pouring in. At that moment, the fleeting beauty in the sky seems eternal. The film uses extremely delicate techniques to let the audience and the hero experience the beauty of this moment. The fireworks are bright and dark in mid-air, and the inanimate objects resonate with people’s strong emotions, which lights up the constant love between mother and son, and also makes the audience understand this affection that blood is thicker than water. As the theme of the film, the creative team did not highlight the suffering of Alzheimer’s disease, but turned it into a key to lead the mother and son to untie the knot.


Nowadays, more and more film creators in various countries pay attention to Alzheimer’s disease, which leads to the birth of countless excellent films. However, different educational and cultural differences in different countries make this theme have completely different interpretations, reflecting different lives of people in different countries. Japanese people tend to film Alzheimer’s disease as a cure film, which weakens the pain caused by the disease to patients and their families, and pays attention to how patients can change their relationship with others through Alzheimer’s disease. For example, in his works, relevant plots have been set, and the characters who were not liked originally changed their personalities after suffering from Alzheimer’s disease, thus repairing the relationship with family and friends. It can be said that such a description will definitely make people feel cured, but it has become an understatement for this disease, lacking profundity and thinking.


Different values present different perspectives, and in European and American films, such as, etc., they are strongly individualistic. In the eyes of western filmmakers, people are lonely individuals. After suffering from Alzheimer’s disease, patients not only lose their memory, but also look at the world in a chaotic way. Even with the meticulous care of their families, it is difficult to enter the inner world of patients. In the context of many western films, move on is emphasized. No matter what happens, people should go on strongly. However, patients with Alzheimer’s disease have lost this strong heart to go on. They are lonely and no longer sure who they are, so their films often make patients full of tragedy. The Father even cried directly to find his mother who died many years ago, which makes people moved.


Influenced by Confucian culture, ethical concepts and realistic aesthetics, China’s creators pay more attention to the blood ties between family idioms when creating related themes, which leads to a more grand view of history and society. Dislocation in the end, let the mother who should have been taken care of heal her daughter with Alzheimer’s disease, no matter how her age changes, maternal love can still make her strong; In the middle school, my son was afraid that his mother with Alzheimer’s disease would get lost, so he connected himself with his mother with a rope, just like an umbilical cord, and took her back to the Mongolian steppe to find her roots. These excellent works reflect the greatest values of China’s family, and also reflect a wider and deeper space on this theme, and express the thoughts of China filmmakers with movies.


Sickness itself is a tragedy, but many people and families presented in the film actually gained another affection in this tragedy and made up for some regret. There is a line saying that life is different from movies, and life is much harder. I hope movies, light and shadow can give you more strength to face this challenge in life together.


The incidence of breast cancer ranks first among female malignant tumors, and early screening can improve the curative effect and survival rate.

       CCTV News:The last October was "International Breast Cancer Concern Month". A new research report shows that the incidence of breast cancer ranks first among female malignant tumors, with about 300,000 new cases in China every year.

one

       The report was completed by Shanghai Institute of Life Sciences, Chinese Academy of Sciences and other institutions for three years, and more than two million samples were detected. This is also the first study on the mutation rate of breast cancer-related genes based on healthy people in China. According to this study, the incidence of breast cancer susceptibility gene mutation in China is 0.38%, and breast cancer has surpassed lung cancer to rank first among new cases of female malignant tumor in China. The median age of breast cancer diagnosis is 48 -50 years old. The median age of breast cancer diagnosis in developed countries in Europe and America is 62 years old. Professionals suggest that women in China should prevent and detect breast diseases as early as possible.

       Zhang Ligang, Vice President of Beijing Health Management Association:It is suggested that China (female) should be screened for breast cancer 13-15 years earlier than the middle age of breast cancer, which is only for those with average risk. Second, if this woman has a family history, or if the breast cancer gene is mutated, it needs to be earlier and should be followed up from the age of 20.

       The report pointed out that clinical research shows that breast cancer is related to the high estrogen level in women, and long-term mental stress or emotional excitement can also induce breast cancer. Breast cancer has a certain genetic tendency, and the 5-year survival rate of early breast cancer can reach more than 90%.

Interpretation of Blossoms Shanghai: How does Wong Kar-wai play with the small screen when the heat is high?


Special feature of 1905 film network The TV series Blossoms Shanghai, directed by Wong Kar-wai and starring Hugh, finally came to light on December 27th, 2023 after six years of preparation and three years of shooting.The first broadcast of the series was 10 minutes, and the central eight broke 2, with a peak of 2.6. The average ratings of the first two episodes were 1.9984.



On the network platform, the heat value in Blossoms Shanghai Tencent Video Station broke 30,000, and it has entered Tencent Video "Explosive Club". The total interactive volume of barrage in Mandarin and Shanghainese versions broke 10 million, and the interactive volume of barrage in a single day broke 1 million for five consecutive days, which made Blossoms Shanghai, which has been expected for three years, gather more attention and flow.



Three years ago, when the news came out that Wong Kar-wai was going to direct a TV series, a group of Wong Kar-wai fans shouted "Impossible".


As a well-known director in the film circle, it takes three to ten years to make a two-hour film. Isn’t it necessary to photograph the collective retirement of fans in a 30-episode TV series? Wong Kar-wai returned after a lapse of 10 years, and the audience commented that "the top priority in the Chinese film circle this year is to make TV series in Wong Kar-wai".


It is no exaggeration to say that Blossoms Shanghai, who has been working behind the scenes for 9 years, has exploded!



However, when this Wong Kar-wai Blossoms Shanghai, which took six years to prepare, three years to shoot and four times to kill, was officially broadcast, we had to admire Wong Kar-wai for still capturing the retro modernity of Shanghai in 1993 with the most exquisite light and shadow and the most delicate lens.


With a film-like texture, the play shows the joys and sorrows, diligence and tenacity, wisdom and affection experienced by Shanghai people in the early days of reform and opening up. Shanghai in the 1990s was "figurative" in this drama, giving the audience an immersive feeling of watching the drama as if they were in the tide of the times.


At the same time, the flow and attention are projected to Blossoms Shanghai, and the voices of voicing to Wong Kar-wai, Blossoms Shanghai and a group of Shanghai local actors are also coming — — There are many negative voices, such as "Shanghai style is out of place in the times", "the story clues are a mess" and "Wong Kar-wai can only shoot the camera but can’t tell stories", and many people in the industry also expressed "some disappointment" after watching the premiere in Blossoms Shanghai.


Film critic Ai Hui said very directly in Weibo: "I don’t like Blossoms Shanghai, but Wong Kar-wai plays Pinduoduo."



However, with the broadcast of Blossoms Shanghai until the 10th episode, the audience’s word-of-mouth gradually began to warm up, and the comments on Blossoms Shanghai in social media gradually changed from "light pollution" to "seeing more and more", and there was a hot search term "watching Blossoms Shanghai five days ago VS five days later" on the hot search list.



In the eyes of film critic Ai Hui, this phenomenon is the normal deviation of the audience’s focus on watching the drama. Including Ai Hui himself, when watching Blossoms Shanghai’s first four episodes, there will be a strong feeling that "form is more than content". It is basically difficult to see natural light in the series. With the help of filters and studio lights, the monotonous sense of high-level makes the audience prone to "visual fatigue" when watching the drama. At the same time, the characters in the first four episodes are thin and the story lines are complicated, so it is very normal for the audience to have negative voices.


However, with the continuous broadcast of the drama series, the weak stories and characters in the early stage are gradually enriched, and the audience’s attention has shifted from the initial "Wong Kar-wai’s filming technology" to "the fate of the characters", and they have begun to devote themselves to the content of the drama series, and it is precisely at this time that several major characters have slowly unfolded.


First of all, Reiko played by Ma Yili, and how did Reiko, who gave a lecture on "Tokyo at Night" in Ginza, and Mr. Bao, played by Hugh, get to know each other? Reiko went to Tokyo with a plane ticket and embarked on a journey without a return ticket. She never thought about giving up. If she could not achieve something, she would never return to Shanghai. At this desperate moment, she and Mr. Bao met, and the two struggling young people resonated, and the soul fit gradually revealed its trace. These delicate warm stories and the vigorous vitality of Reiko’s independence and self-improvement slowly began to infect the audience.



Then began to tell the story of Miss Wang, played by Tang Yan. When it was first broadcast in Blossoms Shanghai, Miss Wang’s character coincided with the role played by Tang Yan before. Many viewers thought that she was still a "love brain" and "silly and sweet", and there was no great breakthrough. However, with the advancement of the plot, Miss Wang’s character became more and more full. In order to prove that "she is her own dock", she refused the Cadillac given to her by Mr. Bao and wanted to make her own way.



It can be seen that Wong Kar-wai applied the techniques of making movies to Miss Wang. For example, he used a low position, and Tang Yan’s big wavy hair was clearly seen. Including how her eyes contain tears and how tears flow down. It is the emotions behind these details that, with the unfolding of the fate of the characters in an episode, the audience will gradually feel so advanced.


The fate of the characters covered with details once again shows Wong Kar-wai’s "super power" to control the story behind emotions. If we say that in the first 10 episodes, the audience only loved Wong Kar-wai’s original shots and light and shadow, in the 13th to 18th episodes, there must be no flaws in the characters, stories and emotions, and the narrative, rhythm and atmosphere set off the TV series Blossoms Shanghai just right. I believe that Mr. "Sunglasses King" will smile after reading the audience’s comments.



On the other hand, the audience familiar with Wong Kar-wai commented that "Wong Kar-wai’s films, like prose, pay attention to emotional transmission, but not to story expression. It’s so specific that he really can’t control it. " Therefore, in the eyes of professional film critics, Wong Kar-wai’s storytelling ability has become a key link in Blossoms Shanghai. So, did Wang Dao really make it?


In this regard, Ai Hui, a film critic who has always been known for being sharp and daring to tell the truth, agreed with the above views of netizens. Wong Kar-wai uses emotions as his clue to string together the stories of the characters, and some of the shooting techniques are actually rarely seen in previous TV dramas.



For example, Reiko has a roof, which has never been repaired properly and always leaks. It is easy for the audience to think of a "stalk" in "Chongqing Forest", that is, Tony Leung Chiu Wai, who is lovelorn, always has a dripping towel, which symbolizes Tony Leung Chiu Wai who refuses to cry. Instead, he shed tears on the towel.



This kind of association will make many fans very useful. It seems that in TV series, Wong Kar-wai tells more complete stories than in movies. The capacity of previous movies was just like a room, and Wong Kar-wai had to make a choice. The director can only show you some corners of the room. Then the current 30 episodes are like a museum, so there is enough time and space to put all the things that director Wong Kar-wai loves.



In Blossoms Shanghai’s TV series, he used a lot of documentary materials. The series has repeatedly stressed that this is 1993 and this is 1988. I think he is still very sensitive to the scale of time. Perhaps in Wong Kar-wai’s view, time is about equal to fate. Under the action of time, some people become "face" and some people become "sons". Bao became Bao Zong, Ber Ber became Ber Ber, and Miss Wang became "Entrepreneur Miss Wang".


Director Wong Kar-wai seems to be "in love" with the audience. You misunderstand him, and perhaps it is also a kind of interest to watch Blossoms Shanghai.



Blossoms Shanghai has a relatively concentrated story line every few gatherings. Even if you don’t know anything about it, you will feel a high-level unit drama when you pick out those episodes, which will definitely be a very innovative immersive feeling for the audience.


In addition, Wong Kar-wai insists on his own shooting methods, such as slow work and fine work like single-camera shooting. It is said that Tang Yan spent three years just grinding a Blossoms Shanghai and didn’t take any other plays. Including Dong Yong, a very experienced actor, it takes 30 shots to choose one. There are even actors who think that "maybe I can’t finish it all my life."



Looking back, the "silence" of Blossoms Shanghai’s opening was originally for the sake of the blockbuster behind. This kind of shooting technique is so luxurious that only Wong Kar-wai can do it. We should not underestimate Blossoms Shanghai’s influence. There may only be one or two TV dramas worth chewing like Blossoms Shanghai every few decades, so Blossoms Shanghai may become an orphan for a long time. All the likes and dislikes will eventually turn into traffic, so that everyone can focus on Blossoms Shanghai. For domestic dramas, it may have greater significance.
