In October, 2021, the sculpture of "Big Guitar" beside Binjiang Leisure Square in Ji ‘an, Jilin. The pictures in this article are all Matt diagrams.

I will leave Dandong for Ji ‘an along the Puyi Palace in Dandong.

On August 9, 1945, the Soviet army entered the northeast, and Puyi went to Ji ‘an from Xinjing (now Changchun), the capital of the puppet Manchukuo, to prepare to flee to Japan through Korea, and he would spend 10 days in his life. There have been many such days before, and there will be more later.

On August 13th, Puyi stopped at Dalizigou Mining Institute of Dongbiandao Development Co., Ltd. near Linjiang in the north of Ji ‘an. On the 15th, Japan surrendered, and on the evening of 17th, in the miners’ canteen, Puyi announced his abdication for the third and last time in his life, and the Kantian dynasty of Manchukuo ended. On the 19th, Puyi arrived in Fengtian (present-day Shenyang) through Tonghua, was arrested by the Soviet troops who occupied the airport by air at Dongta Airport, and then was escorted to Chita (present-day capital of post-Baikal Territory of Russian Federation).

Five years later, when the Korean War broke out, the advance team of volunteers first entered North Korea from Ji ‘an for reconnaissance. Ji ‘an county was established in 1902, taking the meaning of "Your Majesty acceded to the throne, saved the world and set up an China" in Biography of Historical Records and Sima Xiangru. In 1965, in order to take care of North China’s national sentiment, the South Korean government renamed Ji ‘an Ji ‘an. In 1985, Ji ‘an was under the jurisdiction of Tonghua City, and in 1988, Ji ‘an established a city (county-level city).

coach

There is no direct train from Dandong to Ji ‘an, only a 4320 train from Dandong to Tonghua, which leaves the next day. Although the scenery along the train is wonderful, it doesn’t match my travel time, so I choose to take a long-distance bus instead.

In the era when high-speed rail is becoming more and more convenient, long-distance buses are becoming rare in first-and second-tier cities, but in small cities and rural areas, they are more convenient and flexible modes of transportation. Now high-speed railway station is far away from the urban area, and most of the long-distance bus stops are still in the city center. When passing through the mountainous areas of villages, long-distance buses will stop at any time according to the needs of passengers, which is an irreplaceable function of trains.

I like listening to drivers and bus captains chatting on long-distance buses. They will pay attention to the recent increase in vegetable prices, the situation in the Taiwan Strait, the poor economic development and employment situation in Northeast China, and finally the topic will always fall on their bus operation.

During my trip, there were only single-digit passengers at the starting station, and villagers occasionally hitchhiked during the four or five-hour journey, and the fare was only a few dollars. I understand that drivers have to carry a lot of goods to earn a little hard work. Apart from a small amount of personal express delivery, many of those goods are ingredients and engineering items in village shops along the way. As these buses are fixed trains, pulling goods is the main income of those drivers.

Our bus passed Hunjiangkou Bridge halfway, which is the confluence of China-Korea border and Liaoning-Jilin border. Hunjiang is the ancestral home of the Jurchen people in Jianzhou, once called Tongjiajiang. Tong Jia is a Manchu surname. The Tong family was originally a prominent family of Han people in Liaodong, and they had a good relationship with Jurchen. Emperor Kangxi’s mother and imperial concubine were both from Tong Jiashi. He ordered Tong Jiashi to be changed from the Eight Banners of Han Dynasty to the highest yellow flag.

"Big Guitar" Sculpture

In this city, which is famous for its world cultural heritage on the border between China and North Korea, I have to look for a very new landmark first: the "big guitar" sculpture.

In the movie Sewing Machine Band, the cement guitar sculpture in a fictional rock park exists as a symbol of idealism. This movie, with the theme of rock band, takes place in Ji ‘an, and the local people also know the shooting scene. But maybe it’s just because the director himself is from Ji ‘an. The rock capital in the movie has nothing to do with Ji ‘an in reality. The driver was also confused when I asked if there was a local band performance venue and asked if I was a KTV or a bar resident.

I walked to the riverside leisure square by the river, and a huge guitar sculpture was set up next to the square, but not the one in the movie. The guitar sculpture in the film was demolished in the plot. Later, the Ji ‘an municipal government suddenly realized the influence of this film and felt that it might attract young artists to travel here, so it really built a "big guitar" sculpture.

In October, 2021, next to Binjiang Leisure Plaza in Ji ‘an, Jilin, the landmark building "Big Guitar" sculpture in the night.

The "big guitar" in the movie is made of concrete, and its appearance and tone are relatively calm. Now, in order to cooperate with the light show, it has been changed into a pure white and more modern shape, and its position has also changed. At night, there is no rock music performance in Binjiang Leisure Square, only a square dance that is uniform and not lost to Arirang on the other side.

In October, 2021, Ji ‘an, Jilin, was the riverside leisure square at night, and in the darkness in the distance was North Korea on the other side of the Yalu River.

In 2004, 43 sites (42 in Ji ‘an) of Koguryo’s royal city, tombs and noble tombs were listed in the World Cultural Heritage List. The city of Ji ‘an is completely attached to the Koguryo site. The former Koguryo Capital Domestic City happened to be in the core block of Ji ‘an City.

With Goguryeo Ruins Park as the center, the ruins of domestic cities are all over the city, surrounded by the ruins of gates, city walls, turrets and drainage culverts. The city wall made of rectangular stones is surrounded by wooden fences, and there are many old people exercising beside the drainage culverts of the west city wall. Next to the Wenmen of Dongcheng wall is Ji ‘an Morning Market, but the Goguryeo Ruins Park in the center of the city itself has no ruins, and it is purely a fitness and leisure park.

Walking along the city wall is like walking in a big park, because many sites are in residential areas. It is also a rare experience to touch the world cultural heritage as soon as you get downstairs.

In October, 2021, Ji ‘an, Jilin, was the site of Koguryo National City in the urban area.

Wandu Mountain City Fortress

The next morning, I arrived in Marudo Mountain City. At that time, it was cloudy and slightly cold, which was very suitable for climbing mountains. The taxi driver told me that I didn’t have to go into the mountains, so I just had a look outside by car. That was probably the aesthetic fatigue of their locals.

In the eyes of people who don’t understand, there are no large-scale architectural remains in this mountain. It seems that there is nothing to see, just a pile of stones and graves. But people who know it will know that Marudo Mountain City is a fortress of repeated tug-of-war between Koguryo and the Central Plains regime in Liaodong and the northern part of the Korean Peninsula, from the Han Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty.

October, 2021, Ji ‘an, Jilin, Koguryo Marubu Mountain City Site.　

After the Han Empire conquered Weiman Korea, it set up four counties in Liaodong, and named the place where the native nationalities in Northeast China lived as Koguryo County, which was under the jurisdiction of Xuantu County. In 37 BC, Go Jumong, the prince of Fuyu (an ancient nation who lived in the northeast of China from the Han Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty), was pushed away and established an independent country, Koguryo, in Zubenchuan, which is now Wunv Mountain in Huanren, Liaoning Province, which is referred to as Juli in Chinese classics. In AD 3, Koguryo moved the capital to the domestic city, which is now Ji ‘an, and built Wei Na Yan City as the acropolis on the mountain, echoing the domestic city. This echo of two cities on the mountain and below is the characteristic of Koguryo city, and the ancient cities on the Korean peninsula also have this design, which is a defense habit in war-prone areas.

In 197 AD, Gongsun Du, the Eastern Han Dynasty Liaodong satrap, attacked Goguryeo, and the present Marubu Mountain City was expanded and renamed by the 10th King "Mountain King" to resist Gongsun Du’s invasion. Goguryeo joined forces with the Cao Wei regime to fight against the Gongsun family, but soon after, the two sides turned against each other. From 244 to 245 AD, Wu Qiujian, an assassin from Youzhou of the Cao Wei regime, went on an expedition to Goguryeo and destroyed Marubu Mountain City, but Goguryeo soon rebuilt the city.

In 311 AD, during the reign of Meichuan King, Goguryeo was in a strong position in the northern part of the Korean Peninsula and began to counterattack. By the time of Guangkai King, it occupied all the land east of Liaohe River. However, at this time, China entered the great division period from Wuhu Sixteen Countries to the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and new opponents appeared one after another. The first confrontation with Goguryeo was the Qianyan regime. In 342 AD, Murong Mu, the founding monarch of Qianyan, attacked Goguryeo and destroyed the Marubu Mountain City again. Fortunately, at this time, there are only 30 years left before the most ambitious monarch in Koguryo’s history succeeded to the throne, and Koguryo is about to enter its heyday.

I got off and walked to the foot of Marudo Mountain. For a long time, it was forgotten in the wilderness because of the blockade outside the customs. Until 1906, when the road was built, the "Buqiujian Ji Gong Monument" was discovered. The inscription recorded the historical facts of the expedition to Koguryo mentioned above.

The mountains in the east, west and north of Marudo Mountain City are steep, with broad and gentle flat land in the middle and low terrain in the south. The city wall is built on the cliff in the south and surrounded by a moat. I am the only one in the whole Marudo Mountain. The layout in the mountain city is very simple, and the number of buildings is not much. The palace is the center, but only the cornerstone remains, as well as the watchtower and the garrison station.

October, 2021, Ji ‘an, Jilin, Koguryo Marubu Mountain City Site.　

There is a small lotus pond in the mountain city. There is a story about this lotus pond. In 28 AD, the Han Empire attacked Goguryeo, and the third monarch of Goguryeo, King Dawu, stuck to Marubu Mountain City. The Han army hoped to make Goguryeo surrender by siege. King Dawu caught a carp from the lotus pond and wrapped it with aquatic plants and sent it to the military camp of the Han army. When the Han army saw the carp and aquatic plants, they thought that there was enough water and food in the city to be besieged, so they withdrew.

Walking out of the mountain city, I came to the Koguryo cemetery at the foot of the mountain. I was too relaxed and happy along the way. The mountains in the distance fluctuated and birds echoed, and there were tombs nearby.

In October, 2021, the Koguryo aristocratic tombs at the foot of Marudo Mountain in Ji ‘an, Jilin Province.　

Koguryo advocates thick burial, and the exterior of the mausoleum is piled into a cone with multiple layers of stones. In this cemetery, we can see the characteristics of Koguryo’s tombs in different historical periods: some of them are lined with strips of stones at the bottom and covered with gravel; Some of them are built directly with large stone strips; There is another kind, which is closer to Han tombs, that is, mounds.

Koguryo people believe in natural polytheism, so the murals in the tombs here mostly depict the gods of the sun and the moon. Later, Buddhism was introduced to Koguryo from the Central Plains, and Koguryo began to believe in Buddhism. Koguryo civilization influenced the whole Northeast Asia in later generations. It can be said that this mountain is the land of Longxing in Northeast Asia.

Haotai tomb and Changshou tomb

After leaving Marudo Mountain City, I went to two tombs in the urban area: Haotai Mausoleum and Changshou Mausoleum, which were developed as the core scenic spots of Koguryo Ruins in Ji ‘an. King Haotai and King Changshou were father and son. During their reign (AD 391-491), Koguryo’s national strength reached its peak.

Haotai Mausoleum is a small scenic spot, mainly visiting tombs and tombstones. When I entered the cemetery, the first thing I saw was the famous monument of King Hao Tai. The huge monument was covered by a glass wall room, but I could walk in and visit it. The full name of this monument is "The Monument to King Haotaiwang, whose land is wide open in Guogang", which records Koguryo’s founding history, King Haotaiwang’s life achievements and information about the laws and regulations of grave keepers, the most important part of which is the story of King Haotaiwang’s conquering everywhere during his reign.

In October, 2021, Ji ‘an, Jilin, the monument of King Haotai in Koguryo remains scenic spot.

Haotai Aric Tan De was born in an era of crisis in Koguryo. Shortly after his birth, his father, Koyilian, was killed in a battle with Baekje. Baekje was ambitious for the control of the Korean Peninsula. At this time, the Houyan Murong family who occupied Liaodong often threatened Koguryo. King Haotai, who succeeded at the age of 17, faced the risk of being attacked by both the north and the south.

King Haotai showed his superb strategic mind at this time. He pretended to surrender to Hou Yan to the north to avoid confrontation, and first solved the threat of Baekje in the south. King Haotai led the army to defeat Baekje many times and established his absolute superiority on the Korean Peninsula. At this time, Houyan was facing the attack of the newly rising Northern Wei Dynasty, and Goguryeo no longer obeyed Houyan. After defeating Houyan’s attack in a row, Wang Faqi fought back and occupied Liaodong. During this period, Japan began to intervene in the situation on the Korean Peninsula, and Baekje tried to form an alliance with Japan. King Haotai attacked Baekje again and drove Japanese forces out of the Korean Peninsula.

Go along the path after the monument to the Great King, and you will come to the foot of the tomb. Haotai Mausoleum looks not high from the flat ground, but it has a large area, surrounded by gentle slopes, and the terrain is open, and there is a step that can walk to the door of the tomb. Different from the tomb in Han Dynasty, the tomb is set underground, with a sealed mound above it, and the tomb of Haotai Mausoleum is at the top of the tomb.

In October, 2021, Ji ‘an, Jilin, the Haotai Mausoleum in Koguryo Ruins Scenic Area.　　

I walked up the steps to the tomb and came to the door of the tomb. The opened tomb was built with large strips of stone, but the top and the outside of the tomb were surrounded by broken stones, and some stones were scattered at random, which was different from the tomb of his son Changshou Wang that I saw behind me. Perhaps it took too much energy to dig stone tablets, so the tomb itself was a bit ordinary.

Walking down from Haotai Tomb, I went to Changshou Tomb. Perhaps in order to build a tourist city, although Ji ‘an has a small urban area, it has introduced a developed shared electric car. Except Marudo Mountain, other scenic spots can be visited by electric car, which is very convenient.

Changshou Mausoleum is located 1.5 kilometers east of Haotai Mausoleum, which is called "Oriental Pyramid" in tourism propaganda. Tourism propaganda is always misleading. When a mausoleum is called the Oriental Pyramid, people will inevitably compare it with the pyramids in Egypt. In fact, the mausoleum is not very tall, but it looks like a pyramid.

In October, 2021, Ji ‘an, Jilin, was the tomb of Changshou in Koguryo Ruins Scenic Area.　

Walking in front of the tomb of Changshou, it is not difficult to find that the construction technology of this tomb is obviously more advanced and advanced than that of Haotai Tomb. The tomb of Changshou Mausoleum is built into a square cone by huge stone strips layer by layer, and there are seven steps step by step. A huge tombstone is placed around the tomb and pressed on the outer wall to offset the outward force caused by the weight of the stone above and protect the tomb from collapse. As far as the building itself is concerned, there is obviously no connection between this mausoleum and the Egyptian pyramids. The volume difference between the two is too great, and the mausoleum is completely piled up by large stones and needs lateral protection, which is different from the Egyptian pyramids.

In AD 413, the 19-year-old son of King Haotai, Changshou Aric Lian, ascended the throne. He reigned for 78 years and died at the age of 97. In ancient times, a long-lived old man was regarded as a human being, and a long-lived monarch was a symbol of the prosperity of the country.

The Longevity King continued the expansion policy of his father, King Haotai. In order to contain the gradually powerful Northern Wei Dynasty, Goguryeo supported the Beiyan regime. When Beiyan perished, Goguryeo’s army covered the evacuation of clans and people in the Longcheng of Beiyan National Capital. In the year before the Northern Wei Dynasty launched a war of subjugation against Beiyan, Changshou Wang sent envoys to visit the Northern Wei Dynasty to request the imperial edict. Later, although Goguryeo supported Beiyan, it caused dissatisfaction in the Northern Wei Dynasty. However, with the death of the last monarch of Beiyan, the two sides reconciled, and Goguryeo not only accepted the conferment of the Northern Wei Dynasty regime, but also accepted the conferment of the Southern Liu and Song Dynasties, maintaining a stable and balanced relationship between the North and the South.

During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the Central Plains regime began to take "Korea" as the abbreviation of Koguryo, and Koguryo gradually took "Korea" as the official title. In order to prevent the invasion of the Northern Wei Dynasty and suppress Baekje and Silla better, in 427 AD, Changshou Wang moved the capital from Ji ‘an to Pyongyang. When he captured Baekje and occupied the Hanjiang River Basin on the Korean Peninsula, Goguryeo’s territory reached its peak.

Ride an electric car from Changshou Mausoleum and return to the city center, passing through some small aristocratic tombs along the way. There used to be a mural exhibition hall here, but it is no longer open. Tomb murals can be seen in Koguryo Museum. In 1997, the Koguryo Mausoleum in Ji ‘an was stolen, and the director of Ji ‘an Korean Cultural Center was also involved. Many murals were smuggled to South Korea, and some were destroyed in the excavation. Later, some China scholars discovered Koguryo cultural relics when they visited the museum in South Korea, and asked for them in vain.

Special tenderness

The Yalu River in Ji ‘an is very narrow, and people who are good at swimming come from the other side for dozens of times. At six o’clock in the evening, there was no one on the street in Ji ‘an. Looking across the bank, the North Korean side was more pure black.

During the day, the taxi driver took me to the port, opposite the city of Manpu, North Korea. The cement factory aided by the Soviet era was still working in the thick smoke, and the mountain was bare. The driver said that North Korea was worried that someone would escape, so it cut down all the mountains to facilitate surveillance.

In October, 2021, Ji ‘an, Jilin, Manpu City, North Korea, on the other side of Yalu River, the border river between China and North Korea, was a cement factory aided by the Soviet era.

Ji ‘an always gives me a different flavor from other cities in Northeast China, especially neat and orderly. Cars always give way to pedestrians, and even the morning market is very regular. Breakfast stalls and other stalls selling vegetables, meat and aquatic products, and mountain products specialties have their own positions and are clearly separated. At a certain moment, such a civilized scene gave me the illusion of acting. Looking at the neatness and order of Ji ‘an, I wonder if this norm is also the ideal state that the other side of the river yearns for.

In October 2021, Ji ‘an, Jilin, was a morning market in the urban area.

But not everyone appreciates this specification. A taxi driver told me that the city’s economic situation is not good, and the real estate development that has been heated up around North Korea’s reform and opening up has always been a dream. After the epidemic, basically only tourists from the province came. What doesn’t match the high-level world cultural heritage is the lack of entertainment services that can retain tourists’ consumption. Moreover, the history of Koguryo is relatively unpopular, and many tourists just stop by to see the ruins and go to other places to stay. When the government was unable to develop the economy, it began to attach importance to the construction of civilization. Although the local people enjoyed cleanliness and order, they also had a tired response.

In this way, what I see is more like "we are very happy here, and only happiness is allowed."

In October 2021, Ji ‘an, Jilin, when night fell, there were no people on the street.

But in my feelings as a foreigner, Ji ‘an has a special gentleness. Perhaps because of the vigorous development of tourism construction, its public service facilities are completely high-level even compared with first-tier cities, with clean streets, clean and adequate public toilets, clear and perfect tourist guide signs, and Koguryo Museum with unique appearance. This public museum is charged, which is rare. The advantage is that there is no reason not to open on Mondays, which is more convenient for tourists to arrange their time.

In addition, the natural environment here is very pleasant, with mountains and rivers, warm in winter and cool in summer, and long T-shirts in late autumn during the day. No wonder Koguryo built the capital here. This place is very suitable for literary and artistic creators to move in for a short time, concentrate on their work, climb mountains when they are tired, and walk by the river.

　　　　　　 CCTV News:With 950,000 hectares of virgin forest, 56 years of uninterrupted relay protection and more than 380 forest fire fighting missions, a young forest fire fighting team has been stationed all the year round in the hinterland of Daxinganling virgin forest region, the northernmost part of the motherland. Since its establishment in the 1960s, Qigan Squadron of Daxinganling Forest Fire Brigade in Inner Mongolia has been standing silently for more than half a century in the deserted island of Linhai.

　　　　　　 This is the best preserved, the only centralized contiguous area and the largest undeveloped virgin forest area in China. Fiona Fang is rarely traveled by people, with an average annual temperature of minus 3 degrees and a frost-free period of only 70 days. After a long winter of nine months, it was not until late May that Qigan Squadron, which was stationed deep in the jungle, just waited for spring. There is still snow in the forest that has not melted, but the most dangerous period of the year in Daxinganling has arrived.

　　　　　　 Captain Wang Depeng led everyone to distinguish the anchor points and get familiar with the environment, so as to have a good idea of the terrain and landforms and enter the key fire prevention period. Now Qigan Squadron has to go to the mountains to patrol and guard in full gear several times a week, and it is ready for war 24 hours a day. In order to cope with the fire that may happen at any time, from the end of May every year, in addition to the resident Qigan squadron, the Daxinganling Forest Fire Brigade will send troops to temporarily station.

　　　　　　 In May, the drought in Daxing ‘anling is strong, and the dense vegetation that has existed for hundreds of years can easily cause sudden and destructive natural fires, especially in the northern forest area, when it enters summer, lightning strikes often break out one after another.

　　　　　　 The Daxinganling Forest Fire Brigade is responsible for the protection of 10.67 million hectares of forest and the interception of more than 400 kilometers of Sino-Russian border fires. The entire theater spans six latitudes, with 627 kilometers from north to south and 368 kilometers from east to west. In special times, everyone should be ready.

　　　　　　 The virgin forest area in the northern Daxinganling Mountains of Inner Mongolia is the strategic reserve forest of the country. It is like a "green Great Wall" standing in the northern part of the motherland, resisting the cold current from Siberia and the dust in the Mongolian Plateau, and guarding China’s "big granary" — — Food production safety in Songnen Plain. The task area of fire prevention and extinguishing that Qigan Squadron stationed all the year round covers 950,000 hectares of undeveloped area of northern virgin forest, and the per capita fire prevention area reaches 16,000 hectares. From the moment the team was built, there were odd cadres wherever there was danger in Daxinganling.

　　　　　　 Wang Yonggang, instructor of Qigan Squadron, Daxinganling Forest Fire Brigade, Inner Mongolia: There are many times of fire fighting. For example, last year and the year before last, there may be more than 100 small fire spots after satellite discovery, so this place is actually a fire nest like summer.

　　　　　　 Accompanied by "Huowozi", generation after generation of Qigan team members fought to protect the forest. On May 6th, 1987, the most serious fire broke out in Daxinganling area since the founding of New China. At that time, Qigan Squadron fought more than 20 times on the fire line, putting out more than 400 kilometers of fire line, creating a historical record of 77 days of continuous fighting.

　　　　　　 On July 28, 2002, the extraordinary forest fire broke out, and Qigan Squadron fired the "first shot" of thousands of firefighters in the fire fighting. While struggling to put out the fire, they dug a fire isolation belt with a width of nearly 1 meter and a length of 70 kilometers by shoulder, hand and pedal, which successfully intercepted the raging mountain fire. Since the establishment of Qigan Squadron 56 years ago, it has participated in fighting forest fires for more than 380 times.

　　　　　　 Kang Jianyou, political commissar of the Daxinganling Forest Fire Brigade in Inner Mongolia: When it was first formed, one man, one horse and one gun were used. At that time, it was riding a horse or riding a horse sledge at the earliest, and then it developed into a four-wheeled vehicle. Up to now, we have helicopters in the air, personnel carriers, armored vehicles on the ground, and motorboats on the waterway, which is the way of three-dimensional integration into the overall situation.

　　　　　　 Modern equipment continues to be updated, but the tradition of daring to fight hard has never changed. On April 30, 2017, a border fire hit Yimuhe Forest Farm in Daxing ‘anling. Qigan Squadron was the first to put out the fire, and the last one was evacuated from the fire, and put out the fire for 7 days and 8 nights. In order to prevent the resurgence, it still persisted until the fire was completely lifted after the supplies were cut off for two days. Crossing the line of fire year after year, this group of young forces with an average age of less than 24 years old is growing rapidly. In the face of every dangerous task, they all choose to downplay it.

　　　　　　 Wang Yonggang, instructor of Qigan Squadron of Daxinganling Forest Fire Brigade, Inner Mongolia: I have gone out on a mission. You tell my parents that they are worried, and they are also very uncomfortable and can’t sleep well at night, so I just don’t say anything, just come back safely anyway.

　　　　　　 Wang Yonggang, instructor of Qigan Squadron of Daxinganling Forest Fire Brigade, Inner Mongolia: The reason why the squadron has persisted for so many years is to protect the ecological security of the northern part of the motherland, to protect this green barrier, to use their youth to defend the safety of the forest, to live up to the expectations of our predecessors, and to live up to the high hopes of our motherland and people. I think I am very proud of our players.

　　　　　　 From one man, one horse and one gun to 2018, it has officially become the main force and national team of emergency rescue. In order to protect the ecological barrier in the north of the motherland, for more than half a century, generations of Qigan people have regarded hard dedication as the background of their youth, and silently adhered to their loyalty vows.

Spring Festival in 2025: Wu Ershan and Jia Ling are competing for each other, and Stephen Chow will become a dark horse?

The film market in 2024 has been settled after several important schedules.

Looking back on this year, except for YOLO and Pegasus 2, which performed brilliantly in the Spring Festival, almost all the films in the other schedules were unsatisfactory, especially in the summer and National Day, which made the audience feel disappointed.

However, with the approach of the Spring Festival in 2025, it seems that the film market will usher in a new "fairy fight".

It is reported that there will be at least seven blockbuster films competing for release in the Spring Festival next year, which not only makes people start to guess which film can dominate the box office, but also makes movie fans eager to try.

So, among these seven films, who is most likely to be the ultimate winner?

The first appearance was "Nobody 2" directed by Rao Xiaozhi.

As a sequel to Nobody, this film is highly anticipated.

The previous work has an excellent reputation, with Douban scoring as high as 8 points, which has accumulated a large number of loyal audiences.

This time, the story of "Nobody 2" is completely independent and revolves around the old story of the small factory owner played by Chen Jianbin.

A mysterious order involved Lao Wen in a storm halfway around the world, full of suspense and drama.

Judging from the plot, "Nobody 2" still continues Rao Xiaozhi’s style, wrapping profound social problems with a comedy shell.

Coupled with the joining of powerful actors such as Andy Lau and Chen Minghao, this film is expected to become a dark horse for the Spring Festival.

Ne Zha once swept the box office in 2019 and became the pinnacle of domestic animation.

Now, the long-awaited sequel "Nezha’s Magic Children Making a Sea" is finally coming to the fore.

This film has a very wide audience, and both children and adults can find pleasure in it.

Judging from the box office potential, "Nezha’s Magic Children Making a Sea" is likely to continue the glory of its previous work.

It not only has exquisite visual effects, but also combines traditional myths with modern values, which is enough to attract a large number of audiences into the cinema.

As a rare animated film in the Spring Festival, it may become one of the dark horses at the box office.

Chen Sicheng’s detective chinatown 1900, as another heavyweight film in the Spring Festival, naturally attracted much attention.

The film is a prequel to the Tang Detective series, which tells the adventures of the characters played by Wang Baoqiang and Haoran Liu around 1900.

With the familiar characters, tense plot and Chen Sicheng’s comedy suspense style, it is obvious that this film has a good chance to continue the box office legend of Tang Tan series.

However, it is still a challenge for Chen Sicheng to get rid of the shadow of the rollover of Decryption.

If the storyline and logic line are properly designed, the box office breakthrough should be reasonable.

The success of "Feng Shen I" has undoubtedly won a lot of praise for Wu Ershan, and "Feng Shen II" will also appear in the Spring Festival next year.

As a domestic top special effects blockbuster, the film is undoubtedly a strong competitor in the Spring Festival file visually.

Although the negative news of young actors may have a certain impact on word-of-mouth, the performances of ChristianRandPhillips, Li Xuejian and Bo Huang are still the highlights that the audience most expect.

The plot of the film is based on the classic myth of China. Although the story has long been known, the audience still has high expectations for this epic visual presentation.

As long as the film is well-made, it is still possible for Wu Ershan to create a box office miracle in the Spring Festival.

When it comes to martial arts movies, you have to mention Tsui Hark.

This time, he brought The Legend of the Condor Heroes: The Great Man, starring Sean Xiao.

Guo Jing, played by Sean Xiao, aroused extensive discussion among the audience as soon as he appeared. Some people called him "the most handsome Guo Jing in history".

As a veteran of martial arts movies, Tsui Hark undoubtedly has a top control over the visual effect and action design of the film.

Although the casting of Huang Rong, the heroine of the film, is controversial, Tsui Hark has always had the ability to create classic female characters.

Therefore, the overall quality of this film is worth looking forward to, and it is also expected to achieve good results at the box office with Sean Xiao’s super popularity.

After Hi, Mom, Jia Ling’s Turn to Flowers once again attracted great attention from the audience.

This time, Jia Ling gave up the pure comedy route and chose the anti-pyramid scheme theme with criminal elements.

The film, starring Jia Ling, Zhang Xiaofei and Andy, revolves around an anti-MLM story.

Jia Ling once proved that she is good at grasping the emotional pain points of the audience, and this crime theme may open a new chapter for her directing career.

If the plot is compact and profound, the film is likely to gain both word-of-mouth and box office.

Stephen Chow’s Mermaid 2 is highly anticipated.

Although Master Xing has not directed new films in recent years, he frequently appeared in the public eye in 2024, participated in talk shows, replayed classic films and other actions, which seemed to pave the way for Mermaid 2.

Although this movie has been skipped for many years, the appeal of Master Xing cannot be underestimated.

If this work can be released as scheduled in the Spring Festival in 2025, it may become the biggest dark horse and rekindle the popularity of Xingye movies.

The 2025 Spring Festival file can be called the "fairy fight" in the film market.

No matter from the director’s lineup or the cast, it can be said that there are many stars.

Wu Ershan, Jia Ling, Chen Sicheng, Stephen Chow and other big names in the film industry have gone into battle one after another. The film types cover comedy, animation, crime, suspense, martial arts and other topics, which almost meet the needs of different audiences.

Nowadays, the audience is also facing "phobia of choice". Which movie can stand out depends on whether the story itself touches people’s hearts.

Whether it’s the social depth of Nobody 2, the animation charm of Nezha’s Devil’s Child Naughting the Sea, or the emotional touch of Flowers Turning, each film has its own unique competitiveness.

Which one are you looking forward to most?

　　"Daming Fenghua", as the only outstanding costume drama "Blowout" at the end of the year, has lived up to expectations and caused a wide discussion. Around the "Daming’s First Family", many figures appeared in turn. Unexpectedly, the most striking thing was not Tang Wei, who premiered the TV series, but the role played by Wang Xueyin — — Ming Chengzu Zhu Di.

　　Due to the unavoidable complex historical evaluation of usurping the throne and seizing power, the battle of Jing Nan, Zhu Di was rarely shown positively in film and television dramas in the past, and Daming Fenghua pushed it to the foreground for the first time. Wang Xueyin’s interpretation shows the lonely king’s iron and blood thunder in front of people, his regret and helplessness behind people, his high degree of self-discipline and self-examination and his deep hatred for his loved ones. His eyebrows, figure and body are full of drama. It is hard to believe that he is a 73-year-old man, regardless of his artistic expression or the mental state of the whole person.

　　Recently, Wang Xueyin was interviewed by Beijing Youth Daily, revealing how Zhu Di, the first successful "out of the circle" in historical dramas, was born.

　　Atypical emperors and princes

　　The special feature of Daming Fenghua is that it focuses on describing the family interaction of Zhu family for generations and the complex emotional entanglements between characters, and shows the traditional royal family culture. No wonder some people say, "I can watch 100 more episodes of Lao Zhu family’s daily life." In particular, Wang Xueyin and Guanhua Liang, two old opera bones, played an atypical pair of emperors and princes: father Zhu Di was overbearing and powerful, and used means to punish his heart; Zhu Gaochi, the son, is loyal and generous in nature. He has worked hard but has no credit. He is passive to Nuo Nuo in front of his father, and when he returns to the Prince’s Mansion, he will suffer greatly … … Their opposite plays are very beautiful.

　　In Wang Xueyin’s eyes, this version of Zhu Di’s "addiction" is because the screenwriter endowed the character with unprecedented richness with precise lines, rather than the "cage-raising birds and harem things all day" in traditional imperial dramas. Wang Xueyin said that Zhu Di in "Ming Fenghua" is good-looking and good-looking, and there is no disguise in his merits and demerits. "He knows that he has made a big mistake and laments that it is ‘ A thief who has never been easy ’ However, the history books are required to be written realistically, and sinners are sinners; At the same time, he is also strict with himself, and he is brilliant. He is more confident than ever. "

　　Simple life likes complex performances.

　　The only thing that is more dramatic is that when Zhu Di was majestic, Wang Xueyin suppressed Guanhua Liang by thunder, and when he was short in his parents’ family, his appearance and manner were closer to his brothers. When I check my resume, Wang Xueyin is 73 years old and Guanhua Liang is 55 years old — — From the actual age, there is no problem for them to play father and son.

　　In terms of age, Wang Xueyin really doesn’t look like he’s over seventy. Asked how to maintain such a good physical condition, Wang Xueyin summed it up in two words — — Simple. "I’m a soldier, used to obey orders, let the left to the left, let the right to the right, never ask why. I never think about wearing clothes. I don’t have complicated interpersonal relationships, no one else thinks so much, and there is not so much distress. " Wang Xueyin said.

　　It’s so simple that I just like to perform it all my life, and the "complex" energy after meeting my beloved role is also admirable. Wang Xueyin revealed that he was not enthusiastic about costume drama. "Wearing that dress is fake, it is too far away from us, and the feelings are not touching.". At first, I agreed to look at the script of Daming Fenghua simply because I appreciated the talent of director and screenwriter Zhang Ting. "The first time I cooperated with Zhang Ting was" Entrepreneurial Times ".He was a screenwriter and his lines were particularly good. In one scene, the director said the words were too long, so delete them. I said that I can’t delete it. There are too few opportunities to meet such a good line. Please wait for me for 20 minutes. " The whole group stopped to cooperate, and finally Wang Xueyin made several lines in one go.

　　Details show the king’s difficulties

　　Seeing the script of "Daming Fenghua", Wang Xueyin’s prejudice against costume drama disappeared, and he did not hesitate to take on Zhu Di. "I have played all my life and know that it is too difficult to meet a good drama. I am glad that I met Yellow Land in my first play. At that time, I was young and didn’t understand it. I didn’t think it was a good script. I didn’t promise to shoot it and acted in a drama. Only later did I know its value. "

　　In Daming Fenghua, there are scenes such as Zhu Di’s fight against an iron fist, hesitation, reluctance, tears, and gathering his children and grandchildren to swear together that they can no longer be stained with their own blood, which is considered to be "whitewashed". In this regard, Wang Xueyin denied that these details did not whitewash Zhu Di, but moved the audience because they showed subtle and true feelings between men. "Zhu Di brought up his three sons alone and didn’t marry again. Put a lot of energy into them. As an emperor, there are inevitably many contradictions with children. How to discipline children and how to choose successors all require means and wisdom. This play does not blindly say that he is good, but shows the difficulties of a generation of kings from all aspects. " (Text/Reporter Yang Wenjie)

　　Xinhua News Agency, Zhengzhou, April 12th Title: Hao Yingge, a post-95 college student: Returning the ticket, she chose to face the virus directly.

　　Xinhua News Agency reporter Zhai Zhuo

　　During the Spring Festival this year, Hao Yingge, a post-95 college student in Henan Province, probably made the most difficult and firm decision in her life — — Refund the ticket

　　Hao Yingge is a senior majoring in medical laboratory in Sanquan College of Xinxiang Medical College. In June last year, she was sent by the school to Wuhan Huada Medical Inspection Institute Co., Ltd. for an internship. Before the Spring Festival, she packed her luggage like other foreign employees in the company and prepared to take the train back to her hometown in Henan for the New Year.

　　However, the sudden outbreak disrupted Hao Yingge’s plan. At that time, Wuhan Huada Medical Research Institute had just undertaken some nucleic acid detection work on Covid-19 samples. Hao Yingge hesitated when he saw the mobilization order for the war "epidemic" issued by the company.

　　"I am a medical student, and the nucleic acid detection work in Covid-19 coincides with my major. It is my responsibility to stay." Hao Yingge said.

　　When she carefully told her family about the decision, the other end of the phone was silent. For a long time, my father Hao Jinzhou said, "Stay if you want, but you must protect yourself. Anything happens, I’ll pick you up right away. "

　　Since January 23, Hao Yingge has been dealing with the virus for more than two months. Hao Yingge once wrote such a passage on his mobile phone, "If some time ago was the day when recruits joined the army for training and exercises, then the last two months have been really on the battlefield ‘ Fight ’ . Every battle needs a group of soldiers, and I am honored to be a member of the anti-epidemic army. "

　　Information input, nucleic acid extraction, gene amplification, result analysis … … The daily inspection work is complicated and boring, but Hao Yingge has completed every link very carefully. There has never been a mistake in the virus samples she handled. "I hope to be responsible for every sample and every patient."

　　Hao Yingge said that in recent days, her life is a "two points and one line" between the laboratory and the dormitory. "At the busiest time, the laboratory tested an average of 8,000 samples per day, and 12,000 samples were tested on March 1." The continuous night shift has exhausted Hao Yingge to the extreme, but once a sample is put into storage, she will still arrive at the post immediately.

　　Hao Yingge works in the laboratory (photo taken on March 1). Xinhua news agency

　　During the daily inspection, Hao Yingge has to face the test of "ice and fire". "Our hands are operated in a safe cabinet. After a long time, our hands will become cold. At the same time, airtight isolation protective equipment often makes her feel sultry. "

　　In order to reduce the wear and tear of protective clothing, Hao Yingge will try to reduce the number of times he goes in and out of the laboratory. Every time before entering the laboratory, she often doesn’t drink water. The longest working time is that she has been busy in the laboratory for 10 hours.

　　Together with Hao Yingge, there are three other interns from Sanquan College: Li Yan, Gui Yunfei and Sun Yujie. "Gui Yunfei and I are responsible for the inspection work, and Li Yan and Sun Yujie are responsible for handling medical waste." During this time, the four young people cooperated with each other and cheered each other every day. "If you stay, you have to rush forward. We are all great."

　　Hao Yingge made a gesture of "comparing the heart" during work (photo taken on March 2). Xinhua news agency

　　When Hu Miao, executive vice president of the School of Medical Laboratory of Sanquan College, heard the stories of Hao Yingge and others, he specially held a live online broadcast for them. "Seeing the various concerns and greetings of the students on the screen of the mobile phone, I don’t want to mention how warm I am."

　　"They are just interns or children. If they choose to leave, no one will blame them. However, with their persistence and dedication, they set an example for our teachers and students. " Hu Miao said.

　　After the "unsealing" in Wuhan, Hao Yingge was filled with emotion. "I still remember that when the traffic in Wuhan resumed, I took a bus back to my dormitory in the morning and there was a traffic jam when I turned left." Hao Yingge said that the traffic was blocked, but her mood was relaxed. "Traffic jams mean more people, more cars, the city is recovering, and life is full of fireworks. This is also the goal that my comrades and I have been working hard for more than two months. "

　　After the "unsealing" in Wuhan, Hao Yingge jumped up excitedly (photo taken on April 9). Xinhua news agency

　　Hao Yingge said frankly that she never thought that her choice would gain so much attention and praise. "People around me, like me, just want to get sick people treated, and people who are not sick can feel at ease. I know that my strength is very small, but with more efforts, I can overcome the epidemic earlier. "

　　The reporter asked her if she would be afraid to face the virus directly.

　　"I’m not afraid. I just hope to win this tough battle as soon as possible and go home as soon as possible. I miss my parents!"

　　Residents take photos and smell the fragrance among the rose flowers. Reporter Wang Liting photo

　　Longsha Gem, Juliet, Royal Rouge, Eve Wine Cellar … … In front of an open courtyard in Huilong Garden Community, Houhu Street, Jiang ‘an District, 320 kinds of Chinese roses compete for beauty. On the morning of the 13th, residents shuttled among the rose flowers to take photos and smell the fragrance, as if they were in a small rose garden. In the richness and profusion of flowers, the neighborhood relationship in the community is also more harmonious.

　　She is like collecting stamps.

　　Collect 320 kinds of Chinese roses

　　The reporter walked into the rose garden along the stone road, and the mixed flowers came to my face. Vines, shrubs and miniature roses came into view, with flowers and fragrance.

　　"I am 47 years old. After my daughter went to college in 2020, I began to grow Chinese roses." Chen Ting introduced, "There are not only many varieties of roses, but also a long flowering period, which is very suitable for flower arrangement, so I began to plant roses."

　　"I tried to plant 20 pots at first, and the results were very good, which gave me confidence." Chen Ting told reporters that she often watches flowers growing videos online, learns how to grow Chinese roses, and becomes more and more skilled in flower growing technology. Every time the nursery grows new roses, she always buys a few. "This feeling is like collecting stamps, more and more. Later, I couldn’t stop, and before I know it, there were 320 varieties."

　　Only one plant is left for each variety, and the rest are given to friends. This is Chen Ting’s principle of raising Chinese rose flowers. "I like to try new varieties and want to see the difference between new varieties and classic varieties." Chen Ting said that due to the limited space, the remaining roses were carefully screened.

　　"It is hot in Leng Xia in winter and short in spring. European and European varieties such as juice balcony, parade and Miranda are very suitable for planting here." Chen Ting introduced that different varieties of Chinese rose have different requirements for light and temperature, and they have to buy them for trial planting to know whether they are suitable for Wuhan’s climate. In daily observation, she has summed up the rose varieties that perform better and have good skin and good nutrition under the climatic conditions in Wuhan. "I often share my planting experience and experience with flower friends, hoping to make them take fewer detours in the process of planting roses."

　　Watering, fertilizing, spraying, pruning, cleaning yellow leaves and pulling branches, Chen Ting works in the garden for at least 6 hours every day. After a long period of work, Chen Ting’s arms were covered with scratches of different lengths. "There are many thorns in the rose, and it is common for the arm to be scratched." With a photosensitive skin disease, she often relapses dermatitis, but she is still enthusiastic about raising flowers.

　　Residents and properties

　　Help manage the "Rose Garden"

　　"When the flowers are in full bloom, she will invite us to enjoy the flowers and often cut them for us." Resident Zhang Ping said that with this garden, neighbors often walk around, enjoy flowers, walk and take photos, and the neighborhood relationship is more harmonious. "We will also bring friends to enjoy the flowers, and residents in the nearby community will come to punch in."

　　During the flower viewing, Chen Ting will explain the varieties and characteristics of flowers. "She is a flower grower in our community, and we often turn to her when we are confused in the process of growing flowers ‘ Learn from the scriptures ’ 。” Resident Zhou Cuiping told reporters that flower friends usually go to the flower and bird market to choose flowers and see flowers.

　　"I have only moved to the community for two years. I have met many neighbors through raising flowers and made many flower friends." Chen Ting recalled that at the end of 2021, Tan Heqing, the master gardener of the property, and the community flower friends spontaneously came to help prune the Chinese rose in winter. "The task of pruning and clearing the garden originally took two weeks, but it was all completed in two days."

　　Chen Ting named the garden "Ian’s Rose Garden", symbolizing beauty and happiness. "I feel very comfortable enjoying flowers, drinking tea and chatting with flower friends in the garden on weekdays."

　　Flowers bloom in the garden all the year round. Chen Ting’s enthusiasm also gained a lot of warmth by sending cut flowers every day and cutting branches in winter. The warm greeting when we meet, the flower friends who accompany us to chat when we take care of the garden, and the homemade sauerkraut presented by the neighborhood & HELIP; … Every little bit of daily life promotes the feelings between neighbors a little bit.

　　"The beauty of the garden needs to be discovered and appreciated by everyone." Chen Ting said that in the future, she intends to continue to introduce new varieties and improve the scenery of the garden, so that neighbors who also love life can have a more comfortable and beautiful viewing experience.

During the Spring Festival this year, there were two war films in the film market, which triggered a movie-watching craze. The Battle at Lake Changjin’s sequel "Watergate Bridge of Changjin Lake" is based on large and medium materials, showing the "panorama" of the war; Sniper sees the big picture in a small way, which is more like a local "close-up" of the battle. The same theme of war, choosing the same schedule for release, all showed good box office appeal and word-of-mouth influence, breaking the previous market pattern of leading comedy films in the Spring Festival.

　　The theme of war has always been an important theme in film creation. In the film history of China, there have been many creative upsurge of war theme, and a number of well-known works have been born. However, for some time, domestic war films have fallen into a creative bottleneck. Some of them are full of bullets and gunfire, but they make people sleepy. There are also obvious traces of preaching, lacking the power to penetrate the hearts of the people and being "left out" by the market. From the "big" of The Battle at Lake Changjin series to the "small" of Sniper, what kind of transformation has taken place in domestic war films?

　　War movies are getting better and better, which is inseparable from the improvement of the film industry in China. The level of film industry is reflected in the typed creation, scientific and systematic production management and the application of new technologies. The creative experience of The Battle at Lake Changjin series shows that the same type of film can follow certain creative rules from script to production according to certain creative standards, and constantly replicate successful experiences to ensure sustainable production. The combination of technology and art is also an important standard of film industrialization. The Battle at Lake Changjin series created a breathtaking audio-visual experience for the audience with the help of high technology, and more than 90% of post-production and special effects technology were completed in China. At present, under the impact of online media, movies need to move towards a higher level of production, and movie audiences hope to get a completely different experience from other audio-visual platforms in the cinema. These changes urgently require filmmakers to lead the development of the industry with scientific and technological innovation. With the further improvement of film technology research and development capabilities, the unique charm of the big screen will further bloom.

　　War movies are getting better and better, which is inseparable from the improvement of China’s storytelling ability. Nowadays, war movies pay more and more attention to telling short stories in the big scene. It can not only "get both the big and the small", but also "see the small and view the big", which not only has a panoramic expression of the war process, but also vividly depicts the ordinary soldier. From this point of view, although there is no grand scene in Sniper, its characterization is deeply rooted in people’s hearts. In particular, the use of dialects, with mild comedy to describe the tragic core, so that one by one amiable and respectable image of China soldiers leap onto the screen. The cultural attribute of the film determines that it must bear the national spiritual and cultural value. Therefore, film creation should not only pursue the shock of the scene, but also the shock of the soul. When the technical means that directors can use are more and more advanced, they should also settle down and think about what kind of art form to use to recall the bonfire years and pay tribute to the "most lovely person".

　　Domestic films should not only base themselves on the domestic market, but also open their international horizons. What is worthy of recognition is that at present, while the domestic war films are promoting the main theme, the theme is no longer single, and the relationship between war and peace, war and people is deeply considered. Film art is a universal language and one of the best carriers to spread the story of China. China’s films still need to expand the breadth and depth of themes, strengthen international exchanges and cooperation, find the code of human empathy, and let the story of China really go to the world.

　　The Battle at Lake Changjin series and Sniper show us that war themes have a broad creative space. By February 9, 2022, the total box office (including pre-sale) of national cinema films exceeded 10 billion yuan, which shows the consumption potential of the film market. It is expected that China films will grow in the process of transformation, and achieve a double harvest of social and economic benefits with more acclaimed and well-received art works.

1905 movie network news The film directed by Guan Hu released a preview of "War Teenagers", focusing on the feelings and growth of two teenagers, Xiao Hubei and Xiao July, on the battlefield. Xiao July, played by Youhao Zhang, was shot in the head in an instant because he was concerned about the safety of the white horse. Xiao Hubei, played by Zhang Junyi, resolutely picked up a gun to "break the rear" for the big army after the death of his friend and brother. The teenagers in the war made the audience feel distressed and made people feel the cruelty of the war. The film has been released for 15 days, and the box office has now exceeded 2.1 billion, making it the first film in the world to break 2 billion in a single region in 2020.

Zhang Junyi Youhao Zhang forged a profound friendship because of the white horse.　

Battlefield teenagers look down on life and death, highlighting the cruelty of war

In the movie The Eight Hundred, Xiao Hubei played by Zhang Junyi and Xiao July played by Youhao Zhang left a deep impression on the audience. The two teenagers met on the battlefield and formed a short and profound friendship. Little Hubei, who has just entered the warehouse for four lines, is at a loss. He still doesn’t know what war means to him and this country.

Xiao July’s mind is pure, but he has despaired of life and death. It is only a matter of time before he dies. From a teenager’s mouth, he said frankly, "When I die, you will take my place", which makes people feel unexpected and tragic. And this sentence also became a prophecy. Xiao July was instantly hit by a glance at the white horse in the gunfire. This scene made Xiao Hubei stand still and made the audience in front of the screen unbelievable. The cruelty of life and death on the battlefield was heartbreaking.

Small Hubei and small July are different from other people’s teenage mentality, which is particularly valuable on the battlefield, which also makes them cherish each other all the more. Zhang Junyi said that Xiao Hubei "became more determined in mentality after the death of his only friend in Xiao July". In the end, he abandoned the hope of survival and picked up a gun to fight the enemy to the end. Youhao Zhang also bluntly said, "Every time I play with’ Little Hubei’, I can feel the growth of a 13-year-old child in these eight or nine months". The pure white horse in the film is the medium to enhance their friendship, the sustenance of the two teenagers’ spirit, and also represents eight hundred heroes’s indomitable will.

The strong appeal of the film attracted the audience to salute spontaneously.　

The Eight Hundred became the first film to break 2 billion in a single region of the year.

The Eight Hundred’s sacrifice in July also made many people cry. Some viewers expressed their distress that "they are just children, but they talk about life and death as usual." Some viewers felt that "a teenager with a sunny smile just fell in a pool of blood, and there was more than one such teenager in the war." The Eight Hundred’s meticulous portrayal of characters immersed many audiences. Some audiences saluted the screen silently and solemnly after the movie, including veterans, white-haired old people and even some children. Everyone expressed their respect for the soldiers who defended their country in the most simple and sincere way.

While gaining word of mouth, The Eight Hundred’s box office performance is also very bright. It won 2.1 billion box office in 15 days, becoming the first film in the world to break 2 billion in a single region in 2020, and broke many annual box office records in one fell swoop. As the first domestic commercial giant released after the resumption of work, The Eight Hundred’s driving effect on the film market is obvious to all, greatly boosting the confidence of the industry.

Overseas, The Eight Hundred has also made great achievements, with North America, Australia and New Zealand sold out many times on the first day of release, and Canadian films opened in the same period ranked first at the box office. Australia and New Zealand ranked first in the single-room box office on the first day, and second in the total box office of opening films in the same period. The global popularity has attracted great attention from overseas authoritative media such as Hollywood News Frontline, Forbes, Variety and Hollywood Report, and was rated as "a great impetus to the film industry" by Hollywood Report.

　　Second, the initiative to disclose government information

　　Iii. Receiving and handling applications for government information disclosure

　　Four, the government information disclosure of administrative reconsideration and administrative litigation.

　　Five, the main problems and improvement of government information disclosure work.

　　(1) Main problems

　　First, the new government information disclosure column needs to be enriched and improved. The depth and breadth of government information disclosure are still insufficient, especially the quantity and quality of information disclosure in key areas need to be improved. The form of information disclosure is slightly single and needs to be innovated. There are irregularities in the process of public reply according to the application.

　　Second, the construction of government information disclosure platform needs to be optimized and strengthened. The friendliness, convenience and functionality of the new government website in Fengtai District are slightly lacking, and the interaction between the government and the people is slightly weak. Some units’ new media platforms forward many articles, but have few original articles, and the interaction with netizens is not enough.

　　Third, the understanding of government information disclosure in individual units is still not in place, the staff’s public awareness is not strong, and the disclosure of government information is not timely. It usually takes 3-5 working days to reply to simple messages from netizens on the website, which affects the public’s smooth access to government information and the efficiency of answering questions.

　　(II) Improvement situation

　　First, strengthen the training and assessment of information disclosure business.

In 2017, Wanda Annual Meeting was held in Hefei. As the "finale" program at the annual meeting, Wang Jianlin also did as the Romans do, and sang a classic track of Huangmei Opera "The Fairy Match" with an Anhui female singer-"Both husband and wife return home".

But no one expected that in this year, Wang Jianlin suffered the biggest "change" in his life, and the "tall building" of Wanda Group went to the point of collapse overnight. This song "both husband and wife return home" has also become Wang Jianlin’s "swan song" at the Wanda annual meeting.

Since then, the video of Wanda official website’s annual meeting has stayed in 2017. Maybe someone wants to say, it’s just an annual meeting of the company. If it is closed, it will be closed. What does this mean?

In fact, Wanda attaches more importance to the annual meeting than most domestic enterprises. Since Wang Jianlin founded Wanda Group in 1988, Wanda has had its own "Spring Festival Evening", and founder Wang Jianlin’s "solo" has become a reserved program at Wanda’s annual meeting.

According to insiders, in the years when Wanda was at its peak, the annual meeting was prepared according to the scale of the Spring Festival Evening of local TV stations, and the directors of the annual meeting invited all the deputy directors of the Spring Festival Evening.

Moreover, Wanda’s annual meeting generally needs to be prepared one year in advance, starting from March of each year, promoting implementation in July, and starting rehearsals for about four months in September. Therefore, in addition to the summary report at the end of the year, the Wanda Annual Meeting program performance has also become the most anticipated project for every employee.

Therefore, the annual meeting of Wanda represents not only the corporate culture, but also the display of Wanda’s overall strength. Therefore, after Wanda Group thundered and Wang Jianlin was caught in the "debt crisis", Wanda’s annual meeting was worse every year.

For example, a few days ago, Wanda Group’s 2023 annual meeting was held in Beijing Wanda Mandarin Hotel in a low-key manner. The outside world could not find any relevant publicity, but there was a brief introduction of a few hundred words on Wanda official website, not to mention Wang Jianlin’s "reserved project" that employees and the outside world expected.

Of course, at present, Wang Jianlin really doesn’t have much energy to worry about these trivial things. Although with the joining of Taimeng Investment Group, the gambling pressure of Wanda Commercial Management’s 38 billion listing has temporarily disappeared, but Wang Jianlin’s current situation is far from optimistic.

According to the data of Sky Eye Survey, in the past one month, the equity of six wanda plaza owned by Wanda changed, and the last one was "wanda plaza in front of Xiamen Temple", which is the tenth wanda plaza transferred by Wang Jianlin since 2023.

It is enough to see the difficulty of Wanda’s current situation. Fortunately, although the road to Wanda’s listing is foggy, Wang Jianlin is somewhat responsible after all. At least he did not learn from Xu’s boss and did not walk away like Pan Shiyi.

On this point alone, Wang Jianlin deserves our praise. At least Xu and Pan can’t catch up with the horse, especially the latter. What they did to "escape" is even more disgusting.

At the beginning, it was exposed that Pan cashed in domestic assets and transferred them overseas. In the face of reporters’ inquiries, Pan Yan categorically promised: "Don’t believe rumors, I can’t run away." Later, in order to pave the way for his two sons in the future, Pan donated hundreds of millions of funds to Harvard and Yale under the pretext of donating money to "China students" and successfully obtained two entrance tickets to famous schools.

With this "donation", Pan himself was successfully exposed to a European and American old-age intervention technology called "Wright Weijian".

According to the investigation, the above-mentioned intervention technology of "Wright Weijian" for retirement shows the characteristics of old individuals’ rejuvenation and improvement of their cognition, muscles and physical fitness in the testimony of Harvard and Yale, so it is valued by European and American capitals and widely circulated in the rich circles in Europe and America after its achievement.

However, in order to show his position, Pan boasted that "domestic money is out of reach", but he was soon severely beaten in the face. Because as early as 17 years ago, with the help of Hong Kong Fu Li, the old slow technology of "Wright Weijian" entered China through channels such as Jidong and Tianmao. Looking through the feedback area, there were many high-frequency words such as "full of energy" and "full of vitality".

On the other hand, Wang Jianlin’s current predicament is far from what Pan Shiyi was able to compare, but the difference is that Wang Jianlin, who is 70 years old this year, is still insisting.

But then again, although Wang Jianlin has successively transferred ten wanda plaza in the past year, it can be regarded as a "recovery" of Wanda’s cash flow to a certain extent, but this money is still a drop in the bucket for Wanda’s current situation.

The data shows that in 2024, Wanda will have to repay 4.8 billion domestic debts and 400 million US dollars overseas debts, although it will no longer bear the pressure of listing and gambling of Wanda Commercial Management. No small debt pressure makes the future of Wanda Commercial Management still full of uncertainty.

Therefore, it is speculated that Wang Jianlin’s behavior of selling wanda plaza should continue. Wang Jianlin once promised internally: "When you have money in the future, you can buy it back", but only time can tell where Wanda Commercial Management will develop.
