As a big industrial province and an old industrial base in China, how can Liaoning give full play to its own advantages and make overall plans to make up the short board and forge the long board? In view of the weak links in the industry, how to implement key core technology research projects and solve a number of "stuck neck" problems as soon as possible? How to intensively cultivate in the field of industrial advantages and create more unique stunts? How to implement the industrial base reengineering project, lay a solid foundation for basic parts, basic processes and key basic materials, and strive to achieve comprehensive and all-round revitalization? The reporter interviewed Zhang Guoqing, secretary of Liaoning Provincial Party Committee.

　　Reporter: The Central Economic Work Conference made major arrangements for strengthening the country’s strategic scientific and technological strength. How will Liaoning exert its efforts in promoting scientific and technological innovation?

　　Zhang Guoqing: The Central Economic Work Conference regards "strengthening the national strategic scientific and technological strength" as the first of eight key tasks, which fully demonstrates the firm determination of the CPC Central Committee to implement the innovation-driven development strategy and take the road of strengthening the country through science and technology. Liaoning is rich in scientific and technological innovation resources, so we should unswervingly take the "innovation road" and exert ourselves in the following four aspects:

　　The first is to set up a platform. We should actively strive for a national innovation platform and scientific apparatus to land in Liaoning. Accelerate the construction of Shenyang National Research Center for Materials Science, concentrate on creating regional comprehensive State Key Laboratories, and cultivate and build a national technological innovation center and a clinical medical research center. Focus on the needs of industrial development, optimize and upgrade a number of key laboratories, industrial technology innovation centers and new research and development institutions.

　　The second is to choose the right direction. It is necessary to give full play to Liaoning’s industrial advantages and talent advantages in the fields of new materials, fine chemicals, high-end equipment manufacturing, semiconductor chip manufacturing equipment and industrial basic software, focus on solving a number of "stuck neck" problems, and contribute Liaoning wisdom to the country’s scientific and technological self-reliance.

　　The third is to improve the mechanism. It is necessary to build a substantial Industry-University-Research Alliance so that enterprises can truly become the main body of technological innovation. It is necessary to invest all kinds of innovative resources in enterprises, and enterprises will form a community of interests with universities and research institutes through contractual relations, so that Industry-University-Research Alliance will have the endogenous motivation for innovation and the technological innovation achievements will be transformed into social reality productivity as soon as possible.

　　The fourth is to optimize the ecology. We should promote technological innovation with institutional innovation. It is necessary to improve the innovation incentive and guarantee mechanism, build a revenue distribution mechanism that can fully reflect the value of innovation elements such as knowledge and technology, improve the scientific and technological evaluation mechanism, comprehensively strengthen the protection of intellectual property rights, create a social atmosphere that advocates innovation, and effectively create a good environment for innovation drive.

　　Reporter: The Central Economic Work Conference called for enhancing the self-control ability of the industrial chain supply chain. As an important industrial base in China, what considerations does Liaoning have in promoting the upgrading of industrial chain and supply chain?

　　Zhang Guoqing: Liaoning is a big industrial province with a relatively complete industrial system. Equipment manufacturing, petrochemical and metallurgical industries occupy an important position in the national industrial layout. Liaoning can give full play to its advantages in manufacturing capacity, scientific research, skilled workers and so on, and make contributions to enhancing the independent and controllable ability of the industrial chain supply chain.

　　First, do a good job in transforming and upgrading the "old brand", deeply developing the "original brand name" and cultivating and expanding the "new brand name".

　　To transform and upgrade the "time-honored brand" means to empower and increase efficiency for the "time-honored brand" industry with the new generation of information technologies such as artificial intelligence, big data and Internet of Things, especially to enhance the intelligent level of manufacturing industry from the whole chain of independent research and development, design, manufacturing and system integration, and promote the upgrading of manufacturing industry to intelligence, green, high-end and service.

　　In-depth development of "original brand name" is to supplement, extend and strengthen the chain of metallurgical, petrochemical and other "original brand name" industrial chains, change the situation that "refining" is excessive but "chemical" is insufficient, "coarse chemical" is insufficient, raw materials are excessive and value-added chain is insufficient, and promote the development of "original brand name" industries to the middle and high end of the industrial chain value chain.

　　Cultivating and expanding the "new brand name" means vigorously promoting the development of strategic emerging industries, high-tech manufacturing and high-tech service industries, and vigorously developing the digital economy. We should give full play to the advantages of scene resources in industrial digitalization and data resources in digital industrialization, do a good job in opening up scene resources and data resources, promote the deep integration of digital economy and real economy, and cultivate and expand digital industrial clusters. At the same time, it is necessary to speed up the construction of digital government and digital society, speed up the improvement of the intelligent level of public services and social governance, and realize the "digital butterfly change" in Liaoning.

　　The second is to strengthen the foundation, promote the advantages, and lay a solid foundation for basic parts, basic processes and key basic materials. Focus on the development of high-end equipment manufacturing, integrated circuits, fine chemicals, biomedicine, new materials and energy conservation and environmental protection, so as to make the advantages more prominent.

　　Third, the future industries such as additive manufacturing, flexible electronics, the third generation semiconductor, quantum technology and energy storage materials will be laid out ahead of schedule, and logo products and leading enterprises will be built to form a new industrial echelon, which will contribute to Liaoning’s power in improving the self-control ability of the industrial chain supply chain.

　　Reporter: How does Liaoning focus on building a new development pattern in service?

　　Zhang Guoqing: We should revitalize Liaoning in the process of building a new development pattern and build a new development pattern with Liaoning’s revitalization and better service. Liaoning has a good foundation in industry, resources, science and education, ecology and location. Robots, medical CT, high-grade CNC machine tools, gas turbines, large tankers and other products are competitive in the international market. At the same time, Liaoning has a population of more than 43 million, and its per capita deposit ranks in the forefront of the country, which has huge market demand and consumption potential. These are the good foundation and favorable conditions for Liaoning to expand domestic demand and build a new development pattern for services. In particular, Liaoning undertakes the political mission of safeguarding national defense security, food security, ecological security, energy security and industrial security. We should organically combine the political mission of safeguarding the "five major security", the strategic base of expanding domestic demand and the main line of supply-side structural reform, plan high-quality project groups, incite more social capital investment, improve the adaptability of Liaoning’s supply system to domestic demand, and serve to build a new development pattern.

　　Reporter: The Central Economic Work Conference has made arrangements for comprehensively promoting reform and opening up. Please tell us about this situation in Liaoning.

　　Zhang Guoqing: General Secretary of the Supreme Leader put forward six requirements for further promoting the revitalization of Northeast China. The first is to comprehensively deepen reform based on optimizing the business environment. To revitalize Liaoning, we must solve the development environment problems, including political ecology, social ecology, natural ecology and innovation and entrepreneurship ecology. Among them, political ecology is fundamental and must be continuously purified.

　　The ecology of innovation and entrepreneurship is the business environment, which is a major issue related to the overall revitalization and development of Liaoning. We should aim at marketization, rule of law and internationalization, and strive to create a business environment with convenient handling, good rule of law, strong cost competitiveness and ecological livability. Specifically, convenience is to make people and enterprises feel convenient and efficient in doing things in Liaoning, and they can do things without asking for help. It is necessary to strengthen the service spirit of public servants, improve the level of "one network to run" and "one network to manage", leave the "trouble" to ourselves and give convenience to enterprises and the masses. Good rule of law means that market players can feel that their legitimate rights and interests have been protected in Liaoning, see their future clearly and predictably, and develop in Liaoning with peace of mind. Strong cost competitiveness is to lower what should be lowered and raise what should be raised. On the one hand, it is necessary to greatly reduce the institutional transaction cost and the cost of production factors, create a low-cost land and an investment highland, and on the other hand, it is necessary to increase the cost of violating laws and regulations. Ecological livability is to make people and enterprises feel that Liaoning has a good ecological environment and a high livability, which can attract talents and talent teams and make all kinds of talents feel at ease, settle down and work in Liaoning. I believe that as long as we work hard to create a good development environment, all elements will gather in Liaoning, and more and more people will love Liaoning, take root in Liaoning and realize their dreams.

This year, Japanese director Ryūsuke Hamaguchi proved himself with two powerful works, Accidental and Imagination, and Driving My Car, which was adapted from Haruki Murakami’s short story of the same name. The latter explored artistic creativity and intimate relationship, and the connection between people shuttled between the drama stage and the truth of life, pointing directly at those dark black holes in the mind.

There are spoilers in this article.

one

The story takes place in Tokyo. Jia Fu, played by Hidetoshi Nishijima, is a successful actor and drama director. He is good at creating experimental dramas, is performing Waiting for Godot, and is preparing for the next project, Uncle Vanya.

Yin is Jia Fu’s wife, a successful writer and screenwriter. She has a habit of improvising new plots when having sex with her husband.

Jia Fu’s relationship with his wife is rather strange. They respect each other like guests, and they are at arm’s length. Their only daughter died 20 years ago, which really affected their relationship.

Yin’s life is very indulgent. She has many lovers, and she doesn’t hide it. Jiafu is naturally not difficult to find, but even if she witnessed his wife’s infidelity in her own home, he didn’t expose it. Soon after, Yin died of a sudden cerebral hemorrhage, and Jia Fu lost his beloved wife and his best partner at work.

The death of his wife was a great blow to his family. Of course, he had to live with his wife’s secret and never untied his heart again.

Two years later, Jia Fu accepted the invitation to direct Uncle Vanya at the drama festival. For insurance reasons, he was asked to hire a professional driver. Jia Fu resisted. For him, this was a gross violation of his private space.

The hired driver is a taciturn young woman who never leaves her hand, giving people a hard and difficult feeling of communication, but it is also reassuring.

In the car, the two shared a long distance, but the recording of Chekhov’s drama filled the boring silence.

The lines rolled in the car, and Jia Fu read the lines with the voice of his dead wife. He regarded this as a kind of self-training and could not be disturbed. Many times, these lines become hints about life, and the driver drives silently, just like listening to Jia Fu’s story.

Among the actors who came to audition, there was a man who was the ex-lover of Jia Fu’s dead wife. He was handsome but a little arrogant. However, Jia Fu quickly decided on the actor and even made him play the leading role, but the difficulty of the role was obviously beyond his ability, which made him very uneasy.

They drink together and establish a friendship in the name of the dead sound. This friendship is essentially a performance, in which two injured souls test each other. As a middle-aged man, Jia Fu showed his skillful and exquisite acting skills. He tried to find out the truth about his late wife, a private field that he had never set foot in.

2

Most of the actors selected by Jia Fu are amateurs. He requires each actor to translate his lines in his mother tongue, so these people speak Japanese, Mandarin and Filipino, and one Korean uses sign language, while her partner is responsible for translation.

Ryūsuke Hamaguchi tried to blur the boundary between the role and the real person. The initial stage of reading the script was the most embarrassing, but the effect was natural. In fact, they just focused on their own lines and responded according to the performance of others, instead of thinking about how to act.

"Drive My Car" completely describes the complicated evolution process of the whole crew. Actors complain that Jia Fu likes to repeat boring processes endlessly, and he will say "Chekhov is terrible". Jia Fu thinks that the text has absolute power, and actors can see naked themselves in the works.

Hidetoshi Nishijima and Okada Masaki both gave impressive performances. The latter’s monologue in the car was wonderful. He told Jia Fu about the sound in his eyes. What shocked Jia Fu most was that the sound told his lover a completely different story.

At this time, Jia Fu’s only relief is to drive with the driver. She has been listening and telling her own story about how she learned to drive, how to get along with her depraved and violent mother, and similar experiences with Jia Fu, and she has similar remorse.

In fact, it is possible for Jia Fu to save the sound, but at that time, he felt abandoned, wandering outside and staying home.

After his wife’s death, he regretted it all the time, but the fact that he has been playing others all his life, but he never knew himself, is much more transparent than Jia Fu.

Similarly, when the whole family was in trouble, the driver could have saved her mother, but she hesitated. At that moment, she admitted that she thought of her mother’s "good side", but she still didn’t save her. This is not hate, but not enough love, or they have been creating and maintaining the illusion that they love their wives/mothers very much.

In the end, Jia Fu played this key role. The theater was confused with his life, and his lines pointed to the hope of life.

three

Driving My Car and Burning are both adapted from Haruki Murakami’s works, but they are handled in very different ways. Li Cangdong drastically cut down the text, while Ryujie Hamaguchi adopted a looser strategy. In nearly three hours, he stuffed too many things, even including the training process of his own performance workshop.

Jia Fu clung to everything he could grasp, such as the car he carefully repaired and the tape that he played repeatedly. He looks weak, but he is very strict with himself and others. This personality is potentially divisive, but actor Hidetoshi Nishijima just gives people a sense of seriousness and unpredictability.

Ryūsuke Hamaguchi’s works are always full of conversations in the car, but "Drive My Car" is car-centered, and can even be regarded as an unusual road movie. In the film, the car runs in a cycle on the highway, taking the same route every day, just like the same scene they rehearsed repeatedly, so the space inside the car has become a stage that cannot be ignored.

In addition, Ryūsuke Hamaguchi got inspiration from the lines in Uncle Vanya, and divided Chekhov’s classic into a recurring theme. Through the stressful silence, ghostly gaze and obscure dialogue, every paragraph conveyed inexplicable pain and melancholy.

"Drive My Car" wraps a failed marriage. This man plays a role in life and projects his desire for performance on his wife. He is afraid of being separated by emotional cracks, so he doesn’t want to face the problem, just plays a safe role and dares not admit the truth that he "doesn’t love his wife enough".

This time, Ryūsuke Hamaguchi’s film language has reached a new level, and his unique narrative aesthetics is becoming more and more mature and profound. Only through quiet dialogue and scene switching, he can lead the audience into sadness. This may be his best film so far, and he must not miss it.

Qianjiang Century City Riverside Park is the punching place of online celebrity. In addition to "running friends", more and more AI projects are also "running" here.

In Area C of the park, the AIGC Intelligent Computing Center in Turing Town can experience a variety of AI application scenarios, such as real-time face changing, which can make passers-by become the protagonists in film and television dramas in a few seconds.

Recently, among more than 20 intentional customers of the intelligent computing center, some AI projects have been tested in the early stage, which is equivalent to "trial run", and most of them come from the unmanned field. At present, the computing power of the whole center is still in a state of "demand exceeds supply".

Want to develop, invest in computing power

The AI project is willing to "run" in Yanjiang Park. A very important reason is that the AIGC Intelligent Computing Center in Turing Town was officially opened in January this year. The computing power scale of the first phase has reached 800P, and 1500P will be opened next.

It is reported that in Hangzhou, this scale of computing power is currently only available in Alibaba and Zhijiang Laboratories.

What is this concept?

1P is approximately equal to the computing speed of 1000 trillion times per second. What is the concept of 2000P computing power? You can imagine it yourself.

In the era of digital economy, "general computing power" is "new infrastructure", also known as "the sixth largest infrastructure".

In recent years, Zhejiang has proposed to build a new computing center in the Yangtze River Delta, and Hangzhou has also issued implementation opinions on accelerating the innovation and development of artificial intelligence industry, encouraging enterprises, universities and third-party institutions to build computing centers that meet the guiding needs.

In September 2023, Qianjiang Century City State-owned Company and Xiaoshan Industrial Investment Group jointly established Xiaoshan Computing Technology, which laid a solid foundation for Xiaoshan to expand its computing power to serve new industries, and also incited Century City to develop the "leverage" of AI industry, and further promoted the construction of AIGC intelligent computing center in Turing town with the new strength of state-owned capital service industry, making computing power the "ecological foundation" for Xiaoshan to develop AI industry.

As the relevant person in charge of Qianjiang Century City said, the development of AI industry requires the joint efforts of government and enterprises. The government sets up a platform, leading enterprises build chains, and upstream and downstream enterprises cooperate to open a new channel for Xiaoshan to run AI track through this "chain" road.

The person in charge of Xiaoshan Computing Technology said: "Our computing power mainly serves small-town start-ups and allows more AI projects to run here."

At present, Xiaoshan has set up a 50-million-yuan "computing voucher" to provide relevant subsidies to enterprises that purchase computing resources through the public computing service platform in Xiaoshan District, of which the maximum subsidy for a single subject can reach 2 million yuan.

In addition to supporting AI enterprises in Turing town, the town AIGC Intelligent Computing Center will also provide customized, advanced, inclusive and comprehensive end-to-end intelligent computing services for enterprises, research institutions and universities in provinces, cities and even the whole country.

It is reported that Xiaoshan computing platform is also blossoming at present. For example, the Computer Innovation Research Institute of Zhejiang University, also located in Turing Town, Qianjiang Century City, also laid out an "AI+" high-performance intelligent computing platform, which was recently shortlisted as one of the top ten computing facilities in Zhejiang in 2023, and was equally recognized as the computing platform of Wuzhen Center of National Supercomputing, Alibaba Cloud Computing and Ningbo Artificial Intelligence Supercomputing Center. In addition, the Hangzhou Intelligent Computing Center of China Telecom, located in Sanjiang Chuangzhi New City, has also been put into operation.

Calculation is the road, and the big model is the car.

Running on the new AI track, computing power can only be said to be "entry".

The person in charge of Xiaoshan Computing Technology described, "If computing power is the road, then the big model that is very hot recently is the car."

2024 is the first year of AGI, and it is destined to be an even more extraordinary year. Not long ago, OpenAI released a "blockbuster" to the world’s science and technology circle-Wensheng video model Sora. At present, the competition of large-scale models tends to be white-hot, which has risen to become the competition between cities in various regions and even the national science and technology strategy.

Using computing power to solve the needs of AI enterprises, Qianjiang Century City can keep up with the pace of the industry. Just at the "First Spring Festival" of Century City held last week, Zhang Fan, the chief operating officer of Zhipu AI, who has been deeply involved in Qianjiang Century City, was very directional. "As a witness and participant in the double-class construction of Century City, we will start from Century City and push the commercialization of AI big model to Xiaoshan and the whole country to jointly create a prosperous big model ecology. In the new year, the scale of team members will more than double, and various indicators such as R&D and revenue will go to a higher level. "

It is reported that Zhipu focuses on original big model theories, algorithms and products. In January this year, the fourth-generation large-scale model GLM4, which was newly released by the enterprise, fully benchmarked GPT4, and approached the level of GPT4 in terms of multilingual, multi-model, numerical calculation and agent.

At present, under the strong support of super computing power, many large models in Xiaoshan are continuing to "train".

For example, Zhejiang University Computer Innovation Research Institute has built the world’s first large structured data model and the first large medical model in China, relying on AI+ high-performance intelligent computing platform.

At the AI Intersection Center of Institute of Biology and Molecular Intelligence, Hangzhou International Science and Technology Innovation Center, Zhejiang University, the R&D team is exploring the GPT-like model in protein, and this research will also subvert people’s imagination of traditional biological experiments.

Let AI grow in Xiaoshan

According to Luo Jun, director of the Development and Reform Bureau of Xiaoshan District, the Internet has made a new economic model in Hangzhou. Now the Internet has evolved into artificial intelligence, which has the same development dividend as the Internet economy. Xiaoshan must seize this strategic opportunity. What kind of giant enterprises can be born in the AIGC field in the future depends on computing power.

In August 2023, Xiaoshan joined hands with Xinhua Group III to build Turing Town. This is the first time that Xiaoshan has built a characteristic town with the mode of government-enterprise cooperation, and comprehensively built a pioneering area for the development of generative artificial intelligence industry, so that AI can grow here, and its industrial chain and supply chain have taken root in the town.

"After two or three years, the industrial output value of Turing Town is expected to exceed 10 billion yuan." Liu Xinmin, Senior Vice President of Xinhua Group III and Vice Chairman of the Technical Committee, said that Turing Town will jointly build a "3+1" core competence center around the AIGC industry, namely "AIGC Computing Service Center, AIGC Technology R&D Center, AIGC Scene Application Center and AI Industry Incubation Center", to create a new model of digital economy innovation and quality improvement in Zhejiang Province, attracting more than 100 ecological enterprises in the third industrial chain of Xinhua and gathering more than 5,000 AI high-end talents in five years, and building the country’s best.

At present, Xiaoshan has issued an artificial intelligence industry policy, focusing on cultivating market players, improving innovation level, improving technical elements, popularizing application demonstrations, and creating industrial ecology, and focusing on attracting all kinds of high-quality artificial intelligence enterprises.

　　With the May Day holiday approaching, going out for leisure has become the choice of many consumers. Tongcheng Tourism Booking Data shows that during the May 1 holiday in 2016, the number of outbound travel bookings rose linearly. As of April 18, it increased by 130% compared with 2015, among which the bookings of long-distance destination routes such as Europe and the United States increased significantly year-on-year.

　　Tongcheng tourism booking data shows that there is a strong demand for outbound travel during the "May 1" period this year. Japan and South Korea continue to present the grand occasion of spring flower viewing booking, and many long-distance destination bookings have increased significantly. From fashionable Japan and South Korea to luxurious Europe and America, tourists go further and further, and the booking volume of European destination-related line products increases by 91% year-on-year. However, due to the favorable policies related to the 2016 China-US Tourism Year, the booking of American destination-related line products is hot, with a year-on-year increase of 85%.

　　In recent years, short-term outbound travel has been difficult to satisfy the curiosity of some tourists. Different cultural customs also attract tourists to choose different destinations. Tongcheng Tourism staff said that Dubai, South Africa and other destinations have unique customs and good tourism experience. "Tongcheng Tourism has also launched a number of in-depth tour routes for these destinations, so that tourists can experience different cultures and customs from East Asia, Southeast Asia and Europe." Up to now, the booking volume of travel routes in Dubai, South Africa and other destinations during the May 1 ST period has increased by more than 60% year-on-year.

　　The "May 1" holiday outbound tour also followed the "price". China Youth Daily Zhongqing Online reporter learned: Due to the relaxation of visa policy, flight encryption and price reduction promotion of travel agencies, the "May 1" outbound tour has the highest cost performance. According to the statistics of Ctrip’s tourism products, the prices of some destinations during the May Day holiday dropped by 10% ~ 30% compared with the same period of last year, and even domestic and overseas prices were "upside down" in Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asia. You can visit Japan and South Korea within a minimum of 1,000 yuan. Judging from the current booking situation, "May 1" outbound travel accounts for 60%, and long-distance travel has become the choice of many office workers. Compared with the Qingming small holiday that just passed, the trend of Qingming domestic tour and May Day outbound tour is very obvious.

　　The highest price reduction in Europe and America is 10,000 yuan, and the lowest price in Japan is 899 yuan.

　　Shi Yuduan, chief marketing officer of Ctrip Tourism Division, said that this year’s "May 1" outbound tour was even cheaper than domestic tour, and there were many low prices that were not available in previous holidays. For example, Japan’s free travel has a low price of less than 1,000 yuan. Japan’s tourism market is booming in supply and demand, and the demand for free travel is growing rapidly. Domestic airlines such as China Eastern Airlines have developed cheap flights from domestic cities to Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto, Hokkaido, Fukuoka, Nagasaki and Nagoya in Japan on May 1. On Ctrip’s travel website, the price of free travel products with single air tickets from all over Japan with duty-free shop coupons ranges from 899 yuan to 1999 yuan. Just take a day or two off and you can fly to Japan to enjoy beautiful food.

　　Before the summer peak season, Europe and the United States and other long-distance travel "May 1" departure schedule is also quite cost-effective. According to the data of Ctrip’s orders for group tours and free travel, the average selling price of American routes during the May Day period was around 10,000 yuan, down 10% from the same period last year. However, due to the terrorist attacks in Paris last year, the prices of tourism products in Western Europe, Eastern Europe and other destinations dropped by 1,000-2,000 yuan compared with previous years, with an average selling price of less than 10,000 yuan. Since April, Austria, Belgium, Croatia, Finland, Greece, Italy, Spain, Sweden have successively set up visa centers in Chengdu, Changsha, Nanjing and other places, greatly shortening the time for tourists in second-and third-tier cities to apply for visas, which can generally be issued in two weeks, just in time for the "May 1" trip.

　　As of April 19th, the data of Ctrip’s "May 1st" group tour and free travel show that Thailand, South Korea, Japan, Taiwan, China, Singapore, the United States, Hong Kong, China, Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines are in the top ten during this year’s "May 1st" holiday. Among them, Thailand is still the most popular destination for China tourists. According to the data released by Tourism Thailand, Thailand is expected to receive nearly 495,000 foreign tourists during the Songkran Festival, half of whom are from China. Last year, 5 million tourists from China flocked to Japan, and the May Day booking was not affected by the recent Kyushu earthquake. It is expected that during the May Day period, China tourists will still be seen on the streets of Tokyo, Osaka and Kyoto.

　　Olympic Games set off Brazil’s tourism fever

　　From August 5th to 21st, the 31st Summer Olympic Games will be held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. With the approaching of Rio Olympic Games, going to Brazil to watch the Olympic Games has gradually become a hot topic among tourists. The person in charge of Tuniu Travel Network’s South American tour said that the Olympic Games will bring new opportunities for traveling to South America, and the number of consultations and bookings will increase significantly compared with usual. It is expected that the booking peak will be ushered in at the end of April.

　　Judging from the consulting situation of Tuniu users, besides the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, China’s advantageous events such as badminton, table tennis, track and field, shooting, diving and men’s swimming, as well as basketball, volleyball and other highly ornamental events have attracted attention. In terms of price, due to the increase in the prices of air tickets, hotels and other resources during the Olympic Games, the quotation of the products for watching the Rio Olympic Games increased by about 5% compared with usual. In addition, South China has gradually become a new popular destination as American tourists travel further and further abroad.

　　In recent years, driven by large-scale sports events such as the World Cup and the Olympic Games, and rich tourism resources, South America is changing from a niche destination for Chinese outbound tourists to a popular destination. In addition, the frequent favorable visas for South American countries make it more convenient to travel to South America than before: since July last year, Chile has not only exempted China tourists from visa fees for visiting Chile, but also allowed China citizens with US or Canadian visas (except transit visas) valid for six months or more to enter without a visa; Argentina has shortened the processing cycle of tourist visas for China citizens; Since March 1st this year, Ecuador has implemented the visa-free policy for China tourists.

　　According to the monitoring data of Tuniu Travel Network, more and more tourists from China have joined South America in the "Travel List". In 2015, the number of tourists visiting South America showed explosive growth, with an increase of more than 200% compared with 2014. Judging from the booking situation, the four-country connection products with Brazil, Argentina, Chile and Peru as the main destinations are the most popular, and the scenic spots such as Iguazu Waterfall, Machu Picchu, the mysterious Nazca earth painting, Easter Island and Tierra del Fuego are highly concerned. "Restricted by language, visas and other factors, China tourists travel to South America mainly with group tours, and the per capita cost is 50,000 to 60,000 yuan." According to the person in charge of Tuniu South America Tour, the mainstream tourists are middle-aged and elderly people who are "rich and idle". "The Rio Olympic Games will enable China tourists to have a deeper understanding of Brazil and even South America, and further promote their travel to South America." The person in charge said that "post-Olympic tourism" will be even more popular.

High-configuration route is a characteristic that domestic cars have always adhered to, and at the same time, the price is more grounded. Under the double blessing of these two advantages, domestic cars are increasingly sought after by consumers. Today we brought this car. Now let’s follow Xiaobian to see what it has done.

Let’s take a look at the appearance of the tank 700 new energy. The front of the tank 700 new energy looks more compact and unforgettable. Coupled with the fashionable and dynamic headlights, the visual effect is still good. The car is equipped with LED daytime running lights, automatic opening and closing, adaptive far and near light, delayed closing and so on. Come to the side of the car, the car body size is 5110MM*2122MM*1986MM, the car uses simple lines, the car side looks very domineering, with large-size thick-walled tires, eye-catching shape. In the design of the rear end, the rear end looks more dynamic and lively, and the taillights give people a very young feeling, and the sense of neatness is vivid.

Coming into the car, the front face of tank 700 new energy looks very fashionable and generous, and it is easy to touch the hearts of young consumers. The steering wheel of the car is well designed, made of genuine leather and has a good grip. Take a look at the central control panel, which is decorated with a 16.2-inch central control panel, which makes the interior design quite layered and has a certain sense of technology. The dashboard and seats give people a good feeling, too. Let’s take a look. The car is equipped with a streamlined dashboard and the design is more fashionable. The car uses leather seats, and the seat wrapping is in place, and the overall comfort and wrapping are not bad.

Equipped with car networking, driving mode selection, remote control key, Bluetooth key, interior atmosphere light, engine start-stop and other configurations, the configuration has reached the mainstream level of the same level.

The car introduced today is remarkable in terms of space, configuration and power, and home travel is also a good helper. If you are interested, you might as well take a test drive, which will definitely bring you a different feeling.

In 2023, Toyota’s global sales exceeded 10 million vehicles. However, with the increasing competitiveness of China cars, Japanese cars represented by Toyota, Honda and Nissan will increasingly feel the threat from China cars. Especially Honda, the decline is particularly obvious. From January to November, 2024, Toyota’s cumulative sales showed a negative growth. One of the main reasons was that China, represented by BYD, posed a great challenge to Japanese cars in China. The cumulative sales from January to November decreased by 8.3% compared with the same period of last year, which may lead to Toyota’s annual sales of less than 10 million vehicles. At the same time, in the Southeast Asian market dominated by Thailand and Indonesia, they are also challenged by their own cars from China.

From January to November, 2024, Toyota’s sales in Indonesia decreased by nearly 14% year-on-year. Because the Southeast Asian markets such as Indonesia are relatively small for China, it will not have much impact on Toyota’s total sales in 2024. At present, China’s market share in Indonesia is only 9%, but as long as its market share exceeds or approaches 20%, the nightmare of Japanese cars will begin. This day will come sooner or later, and it’s not just Honda and Nissan that will be hit hard.

　　CCTV News:What is the new era?

　　"At present, a new round of technological and industrial revolution represented by information technology is sprouting."

　　What is cultural confidence?

　　"The door to China’s opening to the outside world will not be closed, but will only grow bigger and bigger."

　　Therefore, the most intuitive expression of cultural self-confidence in the new era is to present our best cultural products to the world.

　　On November 30th, news spread like wildfire that Netflix, the global streaming media giant, bought the overseas distribution right of "White Night Chasing the Murder", which means that in the future, this homemade online drama, which has won numerous praises this year, will be broadcast in more than 190 countries and regions around the world. At the same time, "White Night Chasing the Murder" has also become the first domestic online drama series in China to be widely broadcast overseas.

　　Well-made and well-received in off the charts, the quality of good plays is obvious to all. Since it was broadcast in August this year, the cumulative broadcast volume of "Chasing the Murder at White Night" has exceeded 4.5 billion, and Douban scored 9.0. It is not surprising that it became popular. As a global streaming media giant, Netflix, which has produced excellent dramas such as House of Cards and Strange Tales, has gradually occupied a large number of screens with original dramas in recent years. There is no doubt about the selection and control of content, and its influence in the world is absolutely not to be underestimated, which also reflects Netflix’s recognition of this drama from the side. As soon as the news came out, netizens exploded, which made many people feel "excited". Some netizens commented that it was finally our turn to show foreign friends the drama.

　　In fact, this is not the first time that a domestic drama series has gone out to sea.

　　In the era of radio and television, the first episode of The Journey to the West, a CCTV version, set a viewing record in Nepal, and Princess Huanzhu quickly became popular in Southeast Asia. Whether it’s classic masterpieces such as Romance of the Three Kingdoms and Desire, or a few years ago’s Beautiful Times of Daughter-in-law, "China fever" has also set off overseas.

　　In the Internet era, Empresses in the Palace’s nirvana in fire, which has carried the spirit of China’s traditional culture in recent years, and Why Shengxiao Mo and My First Half Life, which have interpreted the feelings of China’s modern urban life, have also opened a place for China culture in cyberspace.

　　It is not difficult to find that the "China Seal" is the first reason why domestic dramas can be loved by foreign audiences. Our history, exquisite clothes and ancient way of life are all places that foreigners are most interested in. A series of works involving the ancient history and culture of China, including ancient costumes and martial arts, have attracted the most attention. They even regard them as teaching materials to learn and understand the history of China. On the American film and television subtitle website VIKI, there are a group of "brain-dead powder" who are keen on Chinese TV dramas. They not only count the update time of domestic dramas with their fingers, but also "urge them" on the website every now and then. While stimulating the curiosity of foreign netizens, it also forced them to gather spontaneously and start making English subtitles. On the famous video website Youtube, there is a special area for China TV series, and many series can even be broadcast simultaneously and translated into English, which is as hot as that in China and has a traffic of tens of millions.

　　The cultural industry is booming in China, and film and television plays have always been a sharp weapon for the export of national culture. According to statistics, the output and quantity of China’s TV plays have been ranked first in the world for a long time, but 70% of the output is mainly in Southeast Asian countries, and relatively few in Europe and America. On the one hand, it comes from the differences of background culture. For example, after Empresses in the Palace logged into the United States, it was reduced to six episodes, and the plot was fast-forwarded, and some characters simply disappeared. After three days of broadcasting, it was even colder, and then it was reversed. On the other hand, the lack of distribution channels has greatly reduced the communication effect of domestic dramas going abroad. Therefore, domestic dramas should not only simply "go abroad", but also succeed in commercial cooperation. Without so much cultural background knowledge, how to express the aesthetics of Chinese culture internationally, from quantity to quality, is also an aspect of cultural self-confidence.

　　With the development of globalization and the construction of "destiny community in cyberspace", film and television plays, as the most direct cultural product and communication bridge, have gradually become an important symbol of national cultural soft power. In September this year, five ministries and commissions jointly issued the Notice on Several Policies to Support the Prosperity and Development of TV Plays, which clearly put forward the requirements of supporting outstanding TV plays to "go global" and enhancing the competitiveness and influence of China TV plays. In fact, different from the previous world’s directional thinking about Chinese culture, with the promotion of China’s international status, there is an increasing demand in the international cultural market for cultural products with profound knowledge, connotation, quality assurance, description of the real society in China and the spirit of China.

　　"Chasing the Murder in a White Night" is a successful cultural output in the network voice. Relaxation is moderate, rigor is not procrastinating, stylized narrative structure and film-like texture make this modern criminal investigation drama quickly occupy the network popularity list. As a phenomenal online drama, the development of Internet platform also provides a new development space for the dissemination of excellent domestic TV dramas. In recent years, the popular IP-adapted online dramas have shown a spurt of development. Compared with the previous low-cost and low-quality online dramas, the content has become richer and richer. The injection of professional teams and a large amount of funds has also significantly improved the quality, and the audience has gradually changed their views on online dramas. It can be said that with the help of the Internet, new media and other vivid displays, online self-made content has fully entered the era of quality.

　　Under the background of new historical conditions and great cultural development and prosperity, it is also a part of China’s cultural soft power competition to attach importance to technological innovation, strengthen the deep integration of cultural communication and the Internet, and focus on cultural self-confidence in the network age. From attention to recognition, we can easily find that the production standard of "domestic products" is getting higher and higher. No matter how it is presented to the audience, there is no doubt about the production direction of TV dramas in the next few years. Good content and high quality not only provide opportunities for domestic dramas to go abroad, but also provide us with the confidence to establish and enhance cultural self-confidence. Through these dramas, foreign audiences have deepened their knowledge and understanding of China’s profound cultural heritage, which is also an important manifestation of China’s transformation from a cultural power to a cultural power.

　　I believe that there will be more domestic TV dramas in the future. We also expect China’s film and television works to overcome many difficulties, gradually become China’s cultural business card, convey more China voices, and explain to the world more excellent cultures with China characteristics, China spirit and China wisdom.
