　　It is said that the custom of eating moon cakes in Mid-Autumn Festival can be traced back to the Tang Dynasty. For a long time, moon cakes have been integrated with local food customs, and gradually formed five "schools" of moon cakes: Cantonese, Beijing, Suzhou and Chaozhou. Nowadays, the traditional taste can’t fully meet people’s demand for moon cakes, so all kinds of exotic moon cakes and online celebrity moon cakes have broken into the "rivers and lakes" of moon cakes and become new choices for Mid-Autumn Festival consumption.

　　Cantonese-style moon cakes: Cantonese-style moon cakes are the most popular among the people at present. They originated in Guangdong and its surrounding areas and have been popular all over the country. They are characterized by thin skin and large stuffing, and the oil content of the skin stuffing is higher than that of other genres.

　　Beijing-style moon cakes: Beijing-style moon cakes reuse sesame oil, which reveals a sense of wealth at the foot of the imperial city. Legend has it that there was a serious plague in Beijing in ancient times. In the Guanghan Palace, Fairy Chang ‘e ordered the jade rabbit who pounded the fairy medicine for her to come down to earth to treat the suffering people, that is, the rabbit. Rabbit cured the people of the whole city with red and white medicine and returned to the Moon Palace. These two kinds of medicine evolved into natural white and natural red moon cakes, which are the representatives of Beijing-style moon cakes.

　　Su-style moon cakes: Formerly known as crisp moon cakes, they originated in Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and surrounding areas, and were later handed down as Su-style moon cakes. The main feature is that the crust of the cake is loose, and the fillings are five kernels and bean paste, which are sweeter than other kinds of moon cakes. The main products are Su-style moon cakes with fresh meat and Su-style moon cakes with black sesame seeds.

　　Chaozhou moon cake: also known as Chaozhou fork cake, fork word, Chaoshan dialect refers to lard. Chaozhou-style moon cakes have a flat body, a white crust, crispy stuffing and a crisp entrance. The main characteristics are that the crispy skin is thin, the oil is not fat, and the mouth is not greasy. According to the types of stuffing, it can be divided into mung beans, black beans, crystals, purple taro and other types, while the inner core includes egg yolk or seafood.

　　Yunnan-style moon cakes: It is said that the emperor of Nanming small court who retired from Kunming in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties was worried about tea and rice all day long, and a royal chef chose Yunnan ham meat to cut into pieces and mixed it with honey sugar to solve the emperor’s homesickness. Later, this practice spread to the people, and after several improvements, ham moon cakes gradually became a major feature of Yunnan moon cakes.

　　Once, netizens launched a cyber war for the argument of "Let Wuren get out of the mooncake world". Now, more incredible mooncakes are born, and netizens have said that there will be a blood shed in the mooncake world! For example, this "leek egg" moon cake is covered with eggs, which adds up to the flavor of leek eggs!

　　There are also these bullish "super luxury version" moon cakes: bullfrog moon cakes, abalone moon cakes and crayfish moon cakes!

　　In addition to those wonderful mooncakes that are "endless with words", many big brands have cooperated with mooncake manufacturers to launch the creative "online celebrity Mooncakes". For example, this moon cake set with the shape of "Moon Rabbit" and "Xiangyun" launched by the Palace Museum is deeply loved by netizens, and netizens have commented that they are "crying"!

CCTV News:During the holidays, cultural tourism has become the choice of many tourists. In Beijing, many museums and art galleries have "upgraded" to welcome tourists from all over the world. Come to see the reporter’s visit.　

The reporter came to the exhibition hall of China Art Museum’s labor theme art exhibition, and saw that it covered many categories such as Chinese painting, oil painting and sculpture. At 9: 00 am on May 1, tourists were waiting in line to enter. In the exhibition hall, the reporter found that there were many tourists who came specially from other places. It is expected that the number of tourists here will exceed 30,000 during the May Day holiday.

The reporter learned that this year’s "May Day", tickets for China Art Museum are more sought after than in previous years, and the number of people making appointments during the holiday period is close to the maximum flow.

In the china national film museum, a 3500-square-meter large screen is showing the "dinosaur creative visual art exhibition". The 30-meter-high dinosaur walks by the visitors, and the visual effect is very shocking. In addition to the dinosaur exhibition, there are also exhibitions such as the starry sky exhibition and the deep sea exhibition. Many parents take their children to punch in and take photos, and tourists sit on the floor and experience the fun brought by the exhibition in an immersive way.

Wang Sijia, a staff member of china national film museum Activity Management Department, said that as of April 29th, all the daily reservation places for the first three days of the "May Day" holiday had been filled, which was about 20% higher than the same period last year.

The data shows that during the "May 1" holiday, the overall search popularity of domestic museums increased by 134% month-on-month, and the booking volume increased by nearly 30% compared with the same period of last year. Among them, the Palace Museum, Qin Shihuang Mausoleum Museum, China National Museum, Shaanxi History Museum, Luoyang Museum, and other tourist search and booking heat is higher.

Suzhou, Jiangsu: The popular scenic spots in the garden are sold out.　

In Suzhou, Jiangsu Province, the garden scenic spots have also ushered in the peak of tourists in the past two days, and the reservations for popular attractions have also been full. A number of local convenience service initiatives have been launched to provide convenience for tourists.

Tickets for the Humble Administrator’s Garden holiday in Wutian Gate have been sold out in advance, and will receive 160,000 tourists, an increase of 10% over the same period last year. In the past few days, the scenic spot has been closed for half an hour every day to meet the needs of tourists, and one-way traffic has been implemented in areas with concentrated traffic to provide tourists with a comfortable sightseeing experience.

In addition, the five-day admission quota of Suzhou Museum has been reserved in advance. During the holidays, a number of special exhibitions in the museum were exhibited at the same time to attract tourists to visit.

In order to cope with the peak of holiday travel, during the May Day holiday, more than 25,000 parking spaces in Suzhou government agencies, enterprises and institutions were opened to tourists free of charge, and toilets were opened to the public to provide warm-hearted services such as hot water, rain gear and storage.

Kaifeng, Henan Province: Scenery reappears in the Song Dynasty, and the ancient customs and national tides attract visitors.

Every holiday, Kaifeng, an ancient capital with a long history, welcomes a large number of tourists from all over the world. When people come here, they can not only feel the rich history and culture, but also experience many ancient customs and folk cultural activities.

In a Song Wenhua-themed park in Kaifeng, Henan Province, as soon as reporters entered the park, they often heard shouts in their ears, and at the same time, all kinds of staff in ancient costumes passed by. Here, you can experience the various customs of life in the Song Dynasty and feel the prosperity of Bianliang City in the Northern Song Dynasty.

In the streets and alleys of the park, various folk customs performances such as Quyi and juggling are staged in turn, and the rich angular interaction has become a popular "punch card" object under the lens of many people.

In addition to interactive scene performances, the park also launched a series of large-scale plays, so that tourists can understand the history of the Song Dynasty more intuitively.

At present, the park also brings together traditional imperial Henan cuisine and dozens of flavor snacks, among which the soup-filled steamed buns in Kaifeng are the special food that can’t be missed.

The data shows that in 2024, 1-mdash; In March, the cumulative reception volume of Kaifeng cultural tourism reached 31,677,600 person-times, an increase of 12.49% compared with the same period in 2023, and the cumulative comprehensive income of cultural tourism reached 21.43 billion yuan.

Linhai, Zhejiang: Millennium Taizhou Fucheng is popular, and special snacks are favored.　

In addition to visiting the ancient capital, visiting the ancient city is also a hot spot in the tourism market. You can wear ancient costumes and travel through the Millennium, and you can also taste the most classic local snacks and delicious food. Go to the ancient city of Linhai, Zhejiang immediately and have a look.　

Taizhou Fucheng, located in Linhai City, Zhejiang Province, has a history of more than 1,500 years. Ziyang Street, the most prosperous commercial district in Taizhou Fucheng, still retains the legacy of Song Dynasty and the pattern of Ming and Qing Dynasties.

Linhai is known as the snack capital of China, and there are more than 140 kinds of traditional snacks alone.

Many tourists come to Linhai to punch in their cards. The most classic snack here, Egg White Sheep Tail, is called Egg White Sheep Tail because it looks like a sheep tail. As a state banquet dessert, it is the first famous snack to enter China Menu. Beat the egg white prepared in advance into cream, pick up a piece of bean paste or chestnut stuffing, wrap the egg white outside the stuffing, and then fry it in the oil pan. After the pan is out, sprinkle a layer of icing on it and it will be ready.

In addition to "egg white sheep’s tail", there are various snacks such as black rice, white water tofu and seaweed cakes. In Taizhou, which is rich in seaweed, seaweed cake is a special snack here.

According to the latest statistics, on May 1st, the number of tourists in Taizhou Fucheng exceeded 180,000, and it is expected that the number of tourists during the May 1st holiday will exceed 800,000 this year.

Xi ‘an, Shaanxi: The city that never sleeps in Datang is brightly lit and tourists are weaving.

On the first day of the May Day holiday, Xi ‘an, Shaanxi Province also ushered in the peak of passenger flow. If the city is a traditional and quaint street fireworks during the day, it will become a dazzling bustling market at night. Let’s take a look at the unique charm of Xi ‘an at night.

The intangible culture is integrated into the tangible experience, which allows tourists to get an immersive travel experience and promote the release of consumption vitality. At 12 o’clock in Chang ‘an, which is located on Datang Pedestrian Street, tourists can put on Tang Dynasty costumes and paint Tang Dynasty makeup. There are thousands of Hanfu experience halls in the whole pedestrian street, so Hanfu dressing and shooting photography have always been an important part of the whole Tang Dynasty business in the neighborhood. The fiery neighborhood has also promoted the prosperity of the surrounding Hanfu industry, which has greatly boosted the local tourism peripheral income.

During the May Day holiday, major scenic spots in Xi ‘an also ushered in the peak of passenger flow. The continuous consumption of cultural tourism in Xi ‘an is not only the fireworks of the city, but also a new driving force for the consumption of cultural tourism. Using the unique atmosphere and cultural accumulation of the night, this Millennium ancient capital makes tourists immersed and intoxicated.

Zhengzhou, Henan: 10,000 mu of cherries ushered in the picking season, and the cave hotel reservation was hot.

At present, 10,000 mu of cherries in Houzhai Township, Zhengzhou City, Henan Province are welcoming the picking season. Every year during the May Day holiday, small cherries can bring hundreds of thousands of tourists here. The "cherry economy" also makes the catering and homestay reservations here hot.

At present, 10,000 mu of cherries in Cherry Valley, Houzhai Township, Erqi District, Zhengzhou City ushered in the picking season. The small red cherries in the picking garden were covered with branches, and they were crystal clear against the sunshine, attracting a large number of tourists to experience rural picking.

There are nearly a thousand local cherry picking gardens, and the fresh fruit output per mu of cherries is about 2000 Jin.

Thanks to the large number of tourists brought by the cherry season, the business of farm restaurants here is booming these days, and local specialties such as grilled fish and sweet potato noodles are full of praise for tourists. The traditional dwellings here have also been built into characteristic homestays, which are quite popular with tourists. It is understood that there are more than 30 homestays in the local area, and the booking volume of the "May 1" holiday has exceeded 90%.

CCTV News:Seafood is indispensable at the Chinese New Year table in Xiamen, Fujian. As the Spring Festival approaches, Xiamen’s seafood market has also ushered in a wave of small sales peaks.

Early in the morning, the eighth market in Xiamen became lively, and many citizens were choosing their favorite seafood. According to merchants, the sales of seafood such as hairtail, squid, Pipi shrimp and swimming crab are good during this period.

Mr. Shang Gan:Pippi shrimp will be fatter in the twelfth lunar month, and Portunus will have more cream and be more solid.

According to seafood merchants, the price of seafood has not changed much these days compared with last month, but the price of some popular seafood has increased slightly. For example, hairtail in Hong Kong has risen from 35 yuan to 40 yuan, and pomfret has also risen from 30 yuan to 35 yuan.

Mr. Shang Gan:At present, the price fluctuates little, just a little bit, at most about 10%. For example, after the 23 rd of the twelfth lunar month, the price will also increase, estimated to increase by about 20%.

In some aquatic products stores, the reporter saw that the supply of some high-end seafood, such as eastern star spot, grouper and safflower crab, is relatively abundant and the prices are relatively stable. Some merchants also specially launched vacuum-packed seafood gift boxes for the Spring Festival. As the Spring Festival approaches, the local aquatic products trading market will gradually increase supply to ensure market demand.

　　CCTV News:On the afternoon of December 13th, the State Council Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism held a press conference to introduce the health management of key population.

　　A reporter asked, some elderly people who live alone think that they have less contact with society and there is no need for vaccination. What do you think of this phenomenon? Do elderly people living alone need vaccination?

　　Wang Huaqing, chief expert of immunization program of China CDC, said that living alone does not mean being completely isolated from society. At the early stage of COVID-19 epidemic, because the source of infection was not extensive, the risk of infection was relatively low for most people. However, we know that the virus is very contagious, spreading very fast, and the spreading process is hidden. In addition, COVID-19 has been spreading continuously in some areas. In this case, the risk of infection is increasing for anyone, including the elderly who live alone.

　　Wang Huaqing said, why are the elderly at high risk of serious illness and death? There are two reasons: first, his immunity is declining with his age. Second, because most elderly people have basic diseases, experts have also said that after being infected with COVID-19, it will also lead to the risk of aggravation of basic diseases. In this case, we suggest that the elderly should be vaccinated as soon as possible, including full vaccination and enhanced immunization, which can provide better protection for the elderly and give their families peace of mind.

　　On March 14th, China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission website posted a warning about the risk induced by excessive lending marketing: At present, personal consumer credit services such as credit cards and micro-credit are deeply bound with various consumption scenarios, which facilitates life and reduces the immediate payment pressure to a certain extent. However, if consumers use consumer credit frequently and superimposed, it will easily lead to risks such as excessive debt and damaged credit information. In recent years, there have been complaints from consumers about excessive credit granting, high credit card installment fees or liquidated damages, and violent collection. In addition, some merchants induce consumers to prepay their expenses by means of loans or overdrafts, but they cannot continue to operate for various reasons, resulting in consumers not only being unable to enjoy the services they have already purchased, but also facing repayment pressure and difficulties in safeguarding their rights. In response, the Consumer Protection Bureau of China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission, China issued the second consumer risk warning in 2022 to remind consumers to stay away from the marketing trap of excessive lending and prevent excessive credit risk.

　　One is to induce consumers to handle loans, credit card installment and other businesses, infringing on consumers’ right to know and their right to choose independently. Beware of confusing concepts in the marketing process and inducing consumers to use credit loans, for example, packaging microfinance and credit card installment services with "concessions" and other rhetoric; Or the price publicity is opaque, and the annualized interest rate of loans or installment services is not clearly stated; Others deliberately induce consumers to choose credit payment methods during the payment process. If consumers do not have a strong sense of self-protection and risk prevention, and do not pay attention to reading the contract terms and authorization contents, the signing authorization process is more casual, and it is easy to be induced to handle loans, credit card installment and other businesses.

　　The second is to induce consumers to spend in advance. Using big data information and accurate tracking, some institutions, after tapping the "consumer demand" of users, over-market and induce consumers to spend ahead of time, regardless of the actual situation of consumers’ comprehensive credit line, repayment ability and repayment source, resulting in consumers’ risks such as excessive credit and debt exceeding their personal affordability. Consumers should know that after using consumer credit services, they need to repay the principal and interest on schedule according to the contract. Interest rates such as credit card installment and credit loan may not be preferential. The comprehensive loan cost calculated at annualized rate may be high, and excessive credit may easily lead to excessive debt.

　　The third is to induce consumers to use consumer loans for non-consumption areas. Inducing or acquiescing some consumers to use consumer credit funds such as credit cards and micro-credit for non-consumption areas, such as buying houses, trading stocks, managing money and repaying other loans, has disrupted the normal order of the financial market. Consumers who illegally flow the funds obtained from consumer credit to non-consumer areas will have to bear the corresponding consequences, and it is not advisable to "support loans with loans" or "support cards with cards".

　　Fourth, excessive collection of personal information infringes on consumers’ right to personal information security. Some financial institutions and internet platforms fail to protect consumers’ personal information when carrying out related business or cooperative business, such as obtaining authorization by default consent and general authorization; Using personal information for purposes other than credit card business and consumer credit business without the consent of consumers or against their wishes; Improper access to consumer external information, etc. The above-mentioned excessive collection or use of consumers’ personal information infringes on consumers’ right to personal information security.

　　In view of the above problems, the Consumer Protection Bureau of China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission, China reminds consumers to understand the relevant policies and risks of consumer credit, guard against excessive credit overdraft consumption risks, raise legal awareness and protect legitimate rights and interests.

　　First, adhere to the concept of living within our means, and rationally use credit cards, microfinance and other services.

　　According to their own income level and spending power, do a good job in revenue and expenditure planning. Use consumer credit services such as credit cards and micro-loans reasonably and legally, understand the comprehensive borrowing costs such as installment business, annualized interest rate of loan products, actual expenses, etc., give full play to the consumption support role of consumer credit products on the basis of not exceeding the affordability of individuals and families, develop good consumption repayment habits, and establish a scientific and rational view of debt, consumption and financial management.

　　Two, obtain credit services from formal financial institutions and formal channels, and do not use consumer credit for non-consumption areas.

　　Establish a sense of responsible lending, don’t go beyond consumption and excessive debt, and choose formal institutions to handle financial services such as loans. Be wary of lowering the loan threshold and concealing the actual interest and fee standards in loan marketing propaganda. In particular, we should raise awareness of risk prevention, not believe in illegal peer-to-peer lending false propaganda, and stay away from predatory loans such as bad campus loans and routine loans. Do not use consumer credit funds such as credit cards and microfinance for non-consumer areas such as buying real estate, stock trading, wealth management and repaying other loans.

　　Third, improve the awareness of protecting personal information security

　　Improve the awareness of protecting their legitimate rights and interests in the process of consumption. Read the terms of the contract carefully, do not sign the authorization at will, and pay attention to keeping important personal documents, account passwords, verification codes, face recognition and other information. Do not arbitrarily entrust others to sign agreements or authorize others to handle financial business, so as to avoid giving criminals an opportunity. Once violations of their legitimate rights and interests are discovered, they should choose legal channels to safeguard their rights in time.

　　[Global Times correspondent in the United States Ying Chen Global Times reporter Zhao Juekun Ren Zhong] "We will invest in the United States. We will succeed in America. We will win the economic competition in the 21st century in the United States. " After US President Biden finally signed the Chip and Science Act of 2022 into law on August 9, local time, he released this ambitious tweet. While providing huge subsidies to chip manufacturers in the United States, the bill requires these companies to agree not to develop the manufacturing of precision chips in China. It is no wonder that "Nihon Keizai Shimbun" called the promulgation of this bill the warming of the US "science and technology arms race against China". China’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin rebuked the so-called "protective measures" in the law on the 10th, showing a strong geopolitical color and "another example of the United States engaging in economic coercion". Although Washington’s China hawks tried to use this bill to strike a "precise blow" to China’s chip industry, few international mainstream media predicted that the United States could win this selfish and arrogant chip war. On the 9th, the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) quoted Jin Keyu, a professor at the London School of Economics and Political Science, as saying that he was worried: "I imagine a world divided into two parts, half of which uses China’s information systems and infrastructure, and the other half uses American information systems and infrastructure.Obviously, there will be a huge loss of efficiency. "

　　If you want subsidies, you must "exclude China"

　　"More than 30 years ago, the United States owned 40% of the global production of chips. Since then, our economic pillar, the American manufacturing industry, has been hollowed out, and we have made chip manufacturing go overseas. " Biden said in a speech when signing the Chip and Science Act on the 9th, "Now, this law has brought the chip back to the United States."

　　Biden explicitly mentioned China many times in his speech at the bill signing ceremony. He said, "It is not surprising that the Communist Party of China (CPC) actively lobbied American companies to oppose this bill" and said that the United States "must lead the world in chip production". According to a BBC9 report on the 9th, the current supply of chips in the United States has dropped from 40% of the global supply in 1990 to only 10% of the global share.

　　The Nikkei Asian Review said on the 10th that the passage of the "boldest industry legislation in decades" in the United States marked a rare bipartisan cooperation in Washington. The New York Times commented that the Republican Party, which has always opposed the government’s high degree of intervention in business, now supports the Democratic Party bill, in addition to supporting the domestic chip industry in the United States, "to contain the chip industry in China".

　　According to the Wall Street Journal reported on the 10th, the bill is more than 1,000 pages long. The key content of the bill is to allocate 52.7 billion US dollars for domestic manufacturing of chips, including 39 billion US dollars for incentive plans and 11 billion US dollars for R&D and labor development plans. In addition, the government will provide 25% investment tax incentives for chip factories in the United States, with an estimated cost of $24 billion. There are about 200 billion dollars for scientific research.

　　Qatar Al Jazeera reported on the 9th that the bill also includes "important restrictions" demanded by Republicans and China hawks, that is, enterprises applying for federal subsidies must promise not to develop precision chip manufacturing in Chinese mainland. The bill stipulates that subsidized companies are prohibited from significantly increasing production of "advanced process" chips (generally referred to as chips below 28 nanometers) in China for a period of 10 years. Companies that violate the ban may be required to refund all subsidies.

　　On August 9, Micron, a chip maker, announced that it would seek the federal subsidy. Micron said it plans to invest $40 billion to build a new chip manufacturing plant in the United States by 2030. This investment will increase the share of the United States in the global memory chip manufacturing industry from the current 2% to 10%. Chip giant Intel also said it would apply for subsidies to support its plan to build two chip factories in Ohio. The company will also seek subsidies for its chip factory expansion plan in Arizona and its chip packaging factory in New Mexico. TSMC, the world’s largest chip maker, also said it would seek subsidies for building a chip factory in Phoenix.

　　Forcibly change the global pattern of chip industry

　　Li Zheng, an associate researcher at the American Institute of China Institute of Contemporary International Relations, told the Global Times reporter that the signing of this bill has provided the United States with more chips for international cooperation and negotiation, and the United States may accelerate the construction of the so-called "four-party alliance of chips", with industrial subsidies and market access as chips to win over South Korea, Japan and Taiwan, China, and form the "backyard" of the American chip industry.

　　On the 9th, BBC9 reported that the exclusive policy of the bill against China’s chip industry made many chip companies face the problem of "taking sides" between China and the United States. Because Chinese mainland is the largest chip market in the world, this "taking sides" approach makes TSMC, Samsung, Intel and other enterprises fall into a dilemma. Samsung has a memory chip manufacturing factory in Xi ‘an, SK Haishili has memory chip manufacturing factories in Wuxi and Dalian, Intel and Micron also have chip packaging and testing factories in China, and TSMC is the only company that produces advanced process chips below 28 nm in Chinese mainland (its Nanjing factory produces 16 nm chips). "This is directly targeted in the Chip and Science Act". The BBC reported that in fact, in the past, all American equipment manufacturers have received letters from the US Department of Commerce, informing them not to supply China with equipment for the manufacture of chips of 14 nanometers or less.

　　Security officials in Taiwan Province are forcing Foxconn to abandon its $800 million investment in Chinese mainland’s chip company Ziguang Group, the Financial Times reported on the 10th. Foxconn announced the investment last month, but an unnamed security official of the Democratic Progressive Party authorities claimed: "This will definitely not pass."

　　An unnamed industry insider said in an interview with Global Times that in recent years, the United States has taken various measures to create a "small circle" of chips that crowd out Chinese mainland, and the so-called "China guardrail" clause in this chip bill is seriously harmful to China and even the whole industry. In the future, the United States may rely on this dominant behavior of occupying the industrial chain to "make whatever countries produce", which may break the division of labor and pattern of the global chip industry.

　　China’s embassy in the United States said on the 9th that it "resolutely opposes" the bill, denouncing it as "cold war and zero-sum game thinking". The China Council for the Promotion of International Trade and the China International Chamber of Commerce also issued a document expressing their opposition on the 10th, arguing that the provisions in the bill discriminate against some foreign enterprises, highlighting that the United States and Italy intend to use government forces to forcibly change the international division of labor pattern of the chip industry, which has harmed the interests of enterprises from all over the world, including Chinese and American enterprises. "This is the ultimate arms race in the 21st century." The New York Times said on the 10th that "commercial and geopolitical motives" urged China to make chips as quickly as possible, while the United States had "competitive motives" to prevent China from acquiring advanced technology.

　　"It’s just copying China’s plays."

　　The New York Times said that shortly before the US bill came into effect, China’s chip manufacturers had just achieved a major technological breakthrough and announced that they had successfully manufactured 7-nanometer chips, "which surprised the world". NPR said on the 9th that the bill "may not be able to curb China’s influence", and it may force China to "make more independent innovations in chip manufacturing to catch up with the United States and its East Asian counterparts".

　　Republican lawmakers in the United States who disapprove of the bill say that this may just give more benefits to enterprises with high profits. "I know that Democrats want to say that this is a competitive bill, but it is just copying China’s script." Rep. Rogers, a Republican, said that in 2015, the China administration put forward the "Made in China 2025" action plan to invest or subsidize ten high-tech industries that China considered to have long-term strategic value, and now the Biden administration is only trying to "spend more than China". According to the Nikkei Asia Review, China has invested US$ 150 billion in the chip industry, and TSMC said it plans to invest US$ 100 billion to expand its manufacturing capacity within three years. The European Union is also legislating for its own chip manufacturing. Therefore, the Chip and Science Act may not bring about "earth-shaking changes".

　　"None of the well-known American multinational companies, including Intel, grew up with government subsidies." Taiwan Province Zhongshi News Network said on the 10th. According to the estimation of Boston Consulting Group, if Washington adopts the policy of "hard decoupling technology" from China, it may even harm the interests of some American chip companies, or make them lose 18% of the global market share and 37% of the revenue, and reduce 15,000 to 40,000 high-skilled jobs. In other words, the subsidies provided by the Chip and Science Act may not make up for the cost of chip companies moving their factories from China to the United States.

　　Zhang Zhongmou, the founder of TSMC, said that the cost of producing the same chip in the United States is "about 50% higher than that in Taiwan Province". He said that it is "futile, wasteful and very expensive" for the United States to increase the local chip manufacturing industry. Collier, a risk management expert at Redford University in Virginia, told CNN on the 9th that no matter how hard countries try to support their manufacturing bases, it is impossible to decouple from the global supply chain, especially the design, manufacturing and raw materials of chips are distributed in many different countries and regions. "This is a huge network. No matter how hard countries try to localize manufacturing, a certain degree of interdependence is inevitable. "

　　Beijing Cultural Consumption Season has been held for ten consecutive times since its establishment in 2013. Today (July 19th), the 11th Beijing Huimin Cultural Consumption Season was launched in Beijing. In this cultural consumption season, we will upgrade our own brand activities, organize a series of cultural activities to benefit the people through activities such as the Beijing Cultural Consumption Carnival and the Beijing Art Trade Exhibition Month, and launch 50 million yuan to subsidize enterprises to benefit the general public.

　　According to the relevant person in charge, this cultural consumption season is "season for year", and the activities cover the whole year. There will be 50 million yuan of matching funds for enterprises, and enterprises will benefit more consumers by making profits and discounts. More than 300 enterprises have participated in it, and through the linkage of the whole market, a relatively perfect cultural consumption system has been formed. In addition, this cultural consumption season will also explore the establishment of a visual Beijing cultural consumption database through data monitoring.

　　It is worth mentioning that this year’s Huimin cultural consumption season is also specially combined with the innovative city exploration and operation service platform, connecting more than 100 high-quality merchants in series, and creating a new consumption model with the new gameplay of urban exploration and punching cards, integrating transactions and experiences, and integrating cultural tourism, sports and entertainment.

　　In the interview, I said that I think I am quite stupid.

　　Four days after the release, Li Yang wrote a letter of apology to fans and sincerely said "I’m sorry to disappoint you".

　　Li Yang is writing an apology letter to the fans.

　　On February 2nd, the film "The Blind Road" was released, and Li Yang said that it was quite appropriate to release a film directed by the second director on such a "second" day.

　　Under the impact of several Spring Festival movies, Blind Road, which was released for six days, was not optimistic in several Spring Festival movies released at the same time. The proportion of film arrangement is 0.21%. As Li Yang said in an interview, "I have no expectations for the box office. I only hope that people with thinking can see this film. " Some fans criticized "the lack of sharpness, the warmth, and the dubbing of lines." Some fans questioned, "Where is the style that used to be as sharp as a scalpel? Why has Blind Road become so warm?" "Is Li Yang the last of Jiang Lang" and so on.

　　In the face of criticism from fans, Li Yang wrote a letter of apology to the fans. In the letter of apology, Li Yang wrote: "I admit that I made a lot of changes and compromises to meet the audience for this film. Many places are not satisfactory, and I am not very satisfied with this "Blind Road". I know you expect me to make movies as powerful as The Furnace and Su Yuan. Here I would like to make a deep bow to my fans and say I’m sorry! I let you down! !”

　　During the filming process, Li Yang used his little savings and mortgaged to borrow money to shoot Blind Road. During the filming period, the funds were broken and he was on the verge of bankruptcy. Finally, with the help of his good friends, entrepreneurs Su Tong and Guo Yukuan, and a famous entrepreneur who didn’t want to sign, he completed the production of Blind Road. Everyone saw some unnatural "Uncle Liang" in the film. Because of his low salary, the actor who promised to play suddenly changed his mind and didn’t have time and capital to find another actor. Li Yang went into battle himself and finished a film written, directed and acted by himself.

　　When I saw Li Yang in the interview, I almost called him "Uncle Liang". Li Yang revealed that the "stepfather" in the film is the prop master of the crew, and the "criminal Guo Wei’s wife" is the record of the crew. They have never acted.

　　Director Li Yang is on the set.

　　In an interview, Li Yang expressed his anxiety, "I’m worried that the film hasn’t been finished and the money has run out." Li Yang is very honest. He invested his own money to make a film, so it can’t be due at last. The film was not finished, so the crew couldn’t afford to pay. "

　　Can The Blind Road Measure Li Yang’s Real Strength?

　　Blind Tao tells a story of redemption and self-redemption. Jingjing, a blind girl, has been controlled by a human trafficking gang headed by Guo Wei, begging for money on the street. Jingjing and Zhao Liang encounter, and they repel each other and guard against each other. Through a series of warm stories, they move each other and get together. Jingjing is a blind girl who was sexually assaulted by her stepfather, trafficked and begged in the street. Zhao Liang was a once brilliant rock singer who killed his daughter because of drinking, went to prison, and after he was released from prison, his heart was blocked and he was unwilling to communicate with the outside world. The encounter between them made each other feel the warmth of human feelings and realized the process of self-redemption.

　　I once talked to my friend about Li Yang, and my friend asked, "Which Li Yang? Crazy English Li Yang? " Li Yang should have become a legend, but now he is still a minority.

　　A director who won the German Silver Bear Award, in China, outsiders may not be familiar with Li Yang. But when it comes to Tsui Hark’s "Taking Tiger Mountain Outward", everyone knows that Li Yang is the screenwriter behind "Taking Tiger Mountain Outward". As far as storytelling ability is concerned, Li Yang can earn tens of millions by writing plays, but he didn’t do it.

　　Wang Baoqiang "Silly Root" changed his destiny because of his performance in Blind Well, and won the Golden Horse Award for Best Newcomer and the Best Actor Award in French and Thai Film Festivals. Huang Lu also became famous at home and abroad for his excellent performance in Blind Mountain. Later, Wang Baoqiang was chosen by Xiaogang Feng and took part in world without thieves. Later, his works such as Soldiers’ Assault and Man on the Road were well known. On the choice of actors, Li Yang has a keen and professional ability to choose actors.

　　With the film market environment getting better and better, whether writing a script or making a commercial film, Li Yang can make a lot of profitable films with his professional strength and ability to tell stories. However, it took him 16 years to make three minority films, Blind Well, Blind Mountain and Blind Road. Every movie is my own investment, and I can’t make any money in China.

　　In the first twenty years of Li Yang’s debut, only two feature films were left, Blind Well in 2003 and Blind Mountain in 2007. Some reports commented on Li Yang: "These two films alone are enough to occupy a place in the history of Chinese films, because from these two films, we can already see that his narrative talent, sense of social responsibility and criticism of reality have few opponents among contemporary directors."

　　Many fans expect Li Yang to make a movie like The Melting Pot. Li Yang told Entertainment Focus: "I can make a shocking movie like The Melting Pot at the right time and with permission." Under the existing conditions, he really tried his best.

　　Stills of the movie "The Blind Road"

　　It is reported that watching the blind road is like watching the report of Southern Weekend, and the source of the film Blind Road is a report about begging children in China that Li Yang read in Southern Weekend more than ten years ago. Li Yang visited more than half of China, interviewed schools for the blind, chatted with them, and even went to the juvenile detention center to get in touch with the minors who committed crimes, so as to understand their growing environment, and thus understand why these left-behind children committed these unbelievable criminal acts such as robbery, theft and beating. Their hearts are simple and contradictory.

　　If you have the ability to make money from movies, why not make commercial films?

　　When I was a child, my family was superior, and Li Yang, who had grown up in the entertainment industry, made a lot of money making commercial films, both professionally and storytelling. However, Li Yang chose to pay attention to the disadvantaged groups at the bottom, starting with Li Yang’s growing experience.

　　Li Yang was born in a drama actor’s family in 1959, and both his father and mother were drama actors. My father used to support the northwest as an expert. During Li Yang’s one-year-old to eight-year-old years, his family conditions were superior and he was influenced by art since childhood. However, during the Cultural Revolution, Li Yang’s father was persecuted to death, when Li Yang was only 13 years old. Compared with before, Li Yang’s life suddenly fell to the bottom. This also gives Li Yang the opportunity to reach out to the bottom and vulnerable groups, and is more sensitive to social injustice.

　　Mapping to the movie "The Blind Road", Zhao Liang, played by Li Yang himself, is a once brilliant down-and-out rock singer. From his glory to the change of life, it seems that his story is alluded to the movie plot. It is also a challenge to write, direct and perform, and to change roles between actors and directors. In order to save the cost, I have to do it myself. Only this sincerity should make the audience who spit out Li Yang’s acting more understanding.

　　"Blind Mountain" was shortlisted for the "One Concern" unit of the 60th Cannes Film Festival. It tells the story of female college students being trafficked to a French-blind mountain area and rescued many years later. Some reports commented on Lust Caution and Blind Mountain: "If Lust Caution shows the helplessness of the entanglement between men’s and women’s lust and sadness and state affairs through bed play, Blind Mountain is a modern evil expression of the rape of the heroine by all members of the family who are ignorant of law and barbaric."
Li Yang said that the topic of trafficking in women is not new, but he is concerned about the people behind the incident. At the beginning of 2006, Li Yang made a special trip to Chengdu Jintang and Zhongjiang, and spent more than two months interviewing the rescued abducted women’s living conditions and writing a script.

　　This year’s Blind Road has softened a lot, not because of Li Yang’s softening, but because of Li Yang’s compromise to show it to everyone. Otherwise, we may not even have a chance to see it. After the film was released, Li Yang apologized to the audience sincerely. Li Yang wrote in the letter of apology: "The film is not perfect because of economy and various reasons, and there are many regrets. But with the support of my friends, I went against the wind in an era when such flashy, illusory, spoof and hypocritical movies filled cinemas. I am worthy of my conscience and this era.

　　Postscript-It should be a legend, but it is still a niche.

　　Li Yang, who is nearly 59 years old, has bright eyes when interviewed. During chatting, he will also turn sideways to the reporter and say that he can’t hear clearly, so that the reporter can speak louder. We have seen Li Yang’s sincerity to reporters and audiences. It should be said that he is sincere to this era.

　　A former actor and professional director, relying on his own savings, mortgaged his house to make movies, and had no expectations for the box office. Just to let more people know about a social phenomenon. In Li Yang’s view, it is not terrible to have social trauma, but the most terrible thing is to cover it up. Let everyone see that our society will be better if we work together to solve bad things.
The feature of Li Yang’s films is to face reality directly, not to whitewash it.

　　In the film works of the past year, several word-of-mouth films, such as Gangrinboqi and Fanghua, which reflect human nature and are well-received, have appeared. Li Yang believes that fans will become rational and people themselves need spiritual needs. This trend in movies this year is a return of humanity and rationality.

　　The Blind Road is the final work of Li Yang’s "Blind" series. In the future, Li Yang will also make valuable commercial films. As Li Yang said: Our film and television works are not scratching, and movies are cultural products. I am totally opposed to art films and commercial films. All films are commercial films, and they are commodities from the day they are born, but they are commodities with cultural value, and the films themselves are cultural. "
