Why did Oppenheimer’s "Bruce Lee" hit the biographical film?


Special feature of 1905 film network Nolan’s latest film, Oppenheimer, has topped 922 million dollars at the box office, surpassing Bohemian Rhapsody and becoming the highest-grossing biographical film in the world.


The film was released in mainland China on August 30th. As of press time, the box office closed at US$ 54.796 million (equivalent to RMB 400 million), making it one of the top ten biographies of film history in mainland China.



Biographies have never been the "main course" of the film market. But it does not prevent this kind of film from being favored by famous directors.


In the past, The Last Emperor was born under the lens of bernardo bertolucci. Wong Kar-wai worked on "A Generation of Masters"; Infernal Affairs and Gemini Siu Fai Mak and Zhuang Wenqiang jointly directed Guan Yunchang; Chen Kaige made Mei Lanfang. These are all works that have experienced market tests and achieved certain results.



Next, Bruce Lee’s life experience will be put on the big screen by Ang Lee, and Ang Lee’s son Mason Lee has been training for five years to play Bruce Lee. Danny Chan’s half-life legend will also be made into a film, escorted by Wen Weihong, director of The Apostles 2. Continuing the series of Ip Man, Donnie Yen admitted at Cannes International Film Festival earlier that Ip Man 5 was under development.Biographies and movies are coming one after another. Is it so "fragrant"?



Biographies are not popular in China market?

You can’t just rely on the fame of the characters and the feelings of the audience to break the circle.


Biographical films are not particularly popular in China market. At present, the most popular movie is Wrestle! "Dad", the China mainland box office closed at 1.299 billion, becoming the first non-Hollywood imported film with a box office of over 1 billion. 1.299 billion, which is also the highest box office record of biographical films in China mainland market for the time being.



Oppenheimer’s global box office is as high as 922 million US dollars, surpassing Bohemian Rhapsody to become the highest-grossing biographical film in the world’s film history, but China is not its biggest ticket warehouse.


The release time of the film in mainland China was more than one month later than that in North America. It has attracted much attention before it was finalized. On the one hand, Nolan has released a new work three years after Tenet, and the image quality brought by IMAX and 65mm film carries the expectations of many fans. On the other hand, the ups and downs of Oppenheimer, the father of the atomic bomb, are really interesting.



There is no doubt that Oppenheimer is a world-renowned physicist. But it must be said that most China audiences don’t know it well.


Perhaps it is because of the threshold of watching movies. The audience in China, Oppenheimer is concentrated in first-and second-tier cities, with 42.3% white-collar workers and 21% students. Even if the douban score is as high as 8.8, there is no large-scale circle in the end.



As of press time, the film’s box office in mainland China totaled US$ 54.796 million, far lower than the US$ 319 million in North America. Compared with Germany and France, which have relatively small population bases, it is only a few million dollars higher.



Biographies are different from ordinary feature films, and the plot structure is restricted by the deeds of the characters themselves. Because of the differences in viewing aesthetics and habits brought by cultural differences, the audience of biographical films will have certain limitations. In other words, even if the reputation of a biopic bursts, it may not have brilliant box office results.


In Douban 8.6, Bohemian Rhapsody paid tribute to Queen, legendary lead singer Freddie Mokuri and their music. The film’s global box office closed at $9.13, but its total box office in China was $13.612 million, far lower than that in North America, Japan, Britain and South Korea.Douban 8.5,The darkest hourIt tells the story of the important trial faced by British Prime Minister Winston Churchill during his tenure as Prime Minister. The global box office of the film received $150 million, but the cumulative box office in China was $5.127 million, far lower than that in North America, Britain, France and Australia.


In terms of Chinese movies, Anita Mui focuses on the legendary transformation of "Hong Kong daughter" Anita Mui. The film once set a new box office record in Hong Kong, closing at $8.003 million. Although the total box office in China has successfully exceeded $15 million, it is not enough to rank among the top three in the box office of biographies.



Biographical film stories are based on real characters experience, and the audience’s understanding and feelings for the characters will be the reason for them to pay the bill. However, if a biographical film wants to go out of the circle, it can’t rely solely on the arc of the characters and the feelings of the audience. Instead, it breaks the cultural gap by emotional resonance and arouses the interest of more viewers.


"Wrestle! Dad is adapted from the story of Indian wrestler Mahavia Singh Perdy. Most China audiences are not familiar with Mahavia Singh Perga. At the beginning of the film’s release, the film was not dominant, but its follow-up relied on the reputation of Douban 9.0 to sink into the market, and the audience covered almost all ages, so the box office continued to fall.


The reason why I can break the box office record of biographical films in mainland China, "Wrestle! Dad no longer relies on the tortuous experience of the prototype or the fame of the protagonist, but the core of the film conveying inspiration and blood, which has aroused public resonance.



The world is big and the cultures are different, but it doesn’t hinder the emotional connection.The cumulative box office of the four films of Ip Man series exceeded 2.2 billion yuan, of whichIp Man 4The box office exceeded 1.1 billion yuan. This series not only shows the legendary life of IP Man, but also shows the charm of China Kung Fu Wing Chun to the fullest. Many audiences are attracted by this unique China culture, and have entered the cinema.


Ip Man series is not only popular at the box office in China, but also has made great achievements in overseas markets. Ip Man 4 once won the overseas box office champion of Chinese films in 2019.



The humanistic value of biographical films can not be ignored.

"Big things are not empty, small things are informal" becomes a creative consensus.


As mentioned above, although there are many excellent biographical films with a double harvest in the word-of-mouth market, on the whole, the box office ceiling of such films in China market is not very high.


Oppenheimer, which is now 400 million yuan in sight, and The Pioneer and Anita Mui, which have successfully exceeded 100 million yuan in recent years, are already quite good works in this field.


Compared with the market value, excellent biographical films bear more heavy humanistic value. This is also an important significance that cannot be ignored in this kind of film creation.



Looking back at ancient history, Confucius and Su Dongpo have brought us back to the long river of the times and felt the living conditions of the people below.


Bearing in mind modern heroes, Sun Yat-sen, Deng Xiaoping Trail and Zhou Enlai The Pioneer told us to inherit the indomitable spirit and unswerving faith with the story of revolutionary ancestors actively exploring ways to change China and save the nation.


When it comes to model workers, Yuan Longping, Jiao Yulu, Liu Qing and Shen Jilan HUANG WENXIU make the experiences of ordinary heroes amazing, and let us remember the mission of struggle.


In addition, Ruan Lingyu, Anita Mui, Mei Lanfang, Mom’s Pastime and so on, let us feel the wonderful life of legends in different fields.



There are models and heroes in every era, and their deeds deserve to be remembered and passed down by everyone.


Ang Lee said in an open interview that Bruce Lee, as a bridge between China and the West, introduced China Kung Fu to the whole world and made innovative contributions to martial arts and action movies. This is also an important reason that drives him to create a biographical film for Bruce Lee. It is reported that this work will give up the direct narrative with time as the axis, and adopt unconventional expressions to show the dribs and drabs of Bruce Lee’s life with enter the dragon as the starting point.



It is worth mentioning that for the creation of biographical films, directly restoring the magnificent life of the characters and focusing on restoring the highlights of the turning point of the characters’ fate are two completely different expression modes.


Whether it’s works like Bruce Lee, Oppenheimer and The Pioneer, which skillfully select characters at an important stage, or works like The Last Emperor and Anita Mui, which narrate the magnificent life of legendary figures in many directions, it seems to be the consensus of creators to practice the principle of "big things are not empty, small things are not arbitrary" and restore the highlights of characters to the greatest extent.


In Oppenheimer, Nolan not only set up a "trinity" nuclear test site in reality, but also chose to shoot the scene with IMAX film camera to make the audience feel immersive as much as possible.



In "Anita Mui", the creative staff collected many cars from 1980s through various channels, trying to restore the appearance of Hong Kong streets as much as possible. Anita Mui’s real experience of wearing a wedding dress to the concert stage has also turned into a famous scene with climaxes in the film.



In terms of quality, an excellent biographical film can never be separated from the development of realistic character arc and clever expression, which is the foundation and core of biographical film.


As for the market, whether an excellent biographical film can break the circle to the greatest extent depends on whether the film can make the hero’s brilliant experience "deeply rooted in the hearts of the people" again in the context of the rapidly changing times.


"Canon" shines for a hundred years | even in this world the spirit of a hero, lives and reigns for thousands of years

[Interpretation]

"even in this world the spirit of a hero, lives and reigns for thousands of years" comes from the first couplet of Liu Yuxi’s in the temple of the first king of shu. Liu Bei was the ancestor of Shu, and in the temple of the first king of shu was on Baidi Mountain in Kuizhou (now east of fengjie county, Chongqing). Liu Yuxi worked in 821— In 824, he served as the secretariat of Kuizhou, and this poem was regarded as this time. This epic poem praised Liu Bei’s achievements, summed up the historical lessons of Shu Han’s subjugation of the country, and showed the author’s historical pen poetry talent.

"Heroes of heaven and earth" secretly used what Cao Cao said to Liu Bei, "Heroes in the world today only make the monarch and fuck the ears", and the poet added the word "qi" to create a temple atmosphere. The word "heaven and earth" covers a vast area, and it is extremely said that "heroism" is filled with Liuhe, which is boundless; The word "Qianqiu" runs through ancient and modern times, and it is extremely written that "heroism" will last forever and be immortal. Although the word "Shang awe-inspiring" is plain, it contains endless swimming and endless meanings: if the temple of the late Lord is still imposing, Liu Bei’s heroic spirit is self-evident.

[Interpretation]

Eighty-four years ago today, the fire of Lugouqiao opened the prelude of China’s national war of resistance. Since then, all Chinese sons and daughters braved the enemy’s gunfire to go to the national disaster, whether on the front battlefield or behind enemy lines, Qian Qian’s patriotic soldiers fought bloody battles and died, and people from all walks of life were United as one, playing a heroic victory song against Japanese aggression, and writing a magnificent epic against foreign aggression with their lives and blood.

On the occasion of celebrating the centenary of the founding of the Communist Party of China (CPC), the awarding ceremony of the "July 1st Medal" was held in the Great Hall of the People, and General Secretary of the Supreme Leader delivered an important speech. At the conclusion of the speech, the general secretary said with passion: "The new era is an era that needs heroes and will certainly produce heroes. The Communist Party of China (CPC) must always be the pioneer of the times and the backbone of the nation, and the party member team must be excellent. " He called for vigorously publicizing the touching deeds and lofty moral character of the "July 1st Medal" winners, forming a strong atmosphere of advocating the advanced and seeing Si Qi in the whole party and society, and inspiring party member and cadres to keep in mind the party’s nature and purpose, keep in mind the party’s initial mission, make unremitting efforts and strive forever, and March forward courageously towards the goal of the second century and the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation on the new journey of building a socialist modern country in an all-round way!

"When the sea flows, you will show your true colors as a hero." During the extraordinary struggle of one hundred years, generations of the Communist Party of China (CPC) people have worked hard and unremittingly, and a large number of revolutionary martyrs, heroes and advanced models have emerged, which have formed a series of great spirits, built up the spiritual pedigree of the Communist Party of China (CPC) people and provided rich nourishment for us to build and strengthen the party.

The Chinese nation has always admired and admired heroes, and the Chinese nation has always had heroes and heroes. In times of crisis, heroes are everywhere. When the epidemic situation in COVID-19 surged, the anti-epidemic warriors on all fronts were fearless in the face of danger and regarded death as their death. They devoted their lives to their mission and cared for all sentient beings with great care, and wrote a magnificent chapter that was touching and touching! Times make heroes, and greatness comes from the ordinary. As the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out: "The Chinese nation has been able to go through countless disasters and continue to grow and develop, never because there is a savior, but because before the catastrophe, thousands of ordinary people in Qian Qian stepped forward and moved forward generously!"

Today, China is undergoing rapid changes, and we are closer to the goal of realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation than at any time in history. To achieve our goals, we need heroes and heroic spirit. The winners of the "July 1st Medal" are all from and rooted in the people, and they are ordinary heroes who are based on their duties and silently contribute. Their deeds can be learned and done, and their spirit can be traced. We should remember all the heroes who have made contributions to the Chinese nation and the people of China, admire heroes, learn from heroes, care for heroes, vigorously carry forward the heroic spirit, gather the majestic forces to realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, and summon up the spirit to March into a new journey and forge ahead into a new era.

The star tutor of "School Flower and Learning God" suspected that Liu Yiwei became the strongest principal.

Pilot poster of "School Flower and Learning God"

    1905 movie network news What? Liu Yiwei is going to start a school on the sideline? Also invited a group of stars as teachers? Last night, the topic of "the strongest headmaster in history" in Weibo was extremely hot, and it broke into the top five and the top eight in the general list of topics in Weibo within an hour. Up to now, it has climbed to the top of the social category. According to the news, Liu Yiwei, the host, not only wants to set up a "Flower Theological Seminary" to teach, but also plans to invite as many as 13 popular star tutors such as Xia Yu, Lin Chi-ling, Jackie Chan and Lu Han to cultivate talents, which makes many young people who are eager to perform very excited, and many fans are so excited that they can’t sleep.

    However, after several explorations, we found that this is actually a large-scale youth puzzle reality show, which will be launched on CCTV-6 at 20:15 on April 12th. Then the question is, how does this new program work, and who are the 13 star tutors? Who are the students who successfully entered the Flower Seminary?

Suspected list of star tutors exposed

The list of suspected tutors leaked: Xia Yu and Hawick Lau joined the fans and shouted "The lineup is against the sky"

    That night, two screenshots of friends circle and recording guests were exposed from Weibo, which made many fans almost crazy. Because in "School Flower and Learning God", Liu Yiwei’s "Flower Theological Seminary" will invite a star tutor in each issue. Apart from Xia Yu, Yang Wei and Hawick Lau, there are Lin Chi-ling, Jiang Shuying, Liu Xinyou, Wu Yifan, Tang Yan, Jin Xiuxian, Huang Bo, Shang Wenjie, Zhou Xun, Lu Han, Li Yuchun, Zhong Hanliang, Jackie Chan, Zheng Kai, Han Hanliang.

    Weibo has also become the "killing" position of various fan legions. Lu Han, Kim Soo Hyun, Wallace Chung and others have become the most anticipated star tutors. Netizens have said that "the program group is very hard-working, and it is simply intended to invite all the three generations of popular stars", "The list is really bright and blind" and "I really want to go to the scene to watch" … … Considering that the program is planned to be 13 episodes, besides Xia Yu and other three artists, there will be 10 artists in the list of 21 who will finally join the program, and any one of these stars will be a hot topic at the moment. If the news is true, the program group of "School Flower and Learning God" is really (you) qian (ren) xing.

    Xia Yu’s recent screen works include and, in addition, he also joined the film directed by Wu Ershan and cooperated with Chen Kun, Bo Huang and Shu Qi. The film is expected to be released in December this year. Wu Yifan and Lu Han are even more popular in the film industry. Lu Han made a stunning performance at the beginning of the year, while Wu Yifan made the first shot on the screen. Li Bingbing used to play the glamorous and sexy "Snow Demon", and now she is also a mentor in another variety show; Last year, Jackie Chan had in-depth cooperation with the young director reality show of the movie channel, and there is a great possibility of his reappearance this time.

Screenshot of Weibo topic heat

Who are the students? The opening ceremony exposed the poster of family portrait, and the high value of school flowers overtook the baby.

    The suspected list of star tutors here has caused a lot of "riots", but the flower seminary there has already held the "opening ceremony", and Weibo, the official of School Flower and Learning God, has exposed two leading posters of family photos. The program itself is a competitive reality show that combines film knowledge assessment. In the early preparation stage, the program team screened out 16 girls and 16 boys who were beautiful in colleges and universities to make a combination. From the poster, we can also see the true faces of 32 lucky college students: 16 school flower goddesses are rich in types and extremely high in value, some are like clear water with hibiscus, some are energetic and playful, and there are big-eyed and cute girls; And the 16 learning gods are all full of youth, and their face values are very reliable. The super brain is definitely not understandable by you and me.

    It is reported that 16 school flowers come from well-known domestic performance and media institutions such as Chinese Opera and Beiying. They are not only highly valued but also versatile, and many of them have achieved remarkable results. For example, Li Linfei, a master of Yangzhou Beauty from China Communication University, was the national runner-up in the host contest of the 18th Beijing University Student Film Festival. Wang Jingwen of Shanghai Theatre Academy is the runner-up in Shanghai Division of Xinwei Graphic Model Competition and one of the top ten in China. Zhang Yi, from the Performance Department of school of visual arts, Shanghai, once filmed a car advertisement for Han Han Volkswagen polo. There is Merxat Ayi Maimaiti from Xinjiang University. She is 177cm tall, but she is the national finals champion of the 8th Miss China Competition, the runner-up of China-Russia-Mongolia International miss congeniality in 2014 and the top ten Asian supermodel national champion in 2013.

    The resumes of the learning gods are also very bad! There are not only Peking University and high flyers in Tsinghua, but also National People’s Congress, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing Institute of Technology, Beihang University, Beijing Foreign Studies University, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Zhongshan University, Nanjing University, Wuhan University and so on. It is worth mentioning that Zhao Ye, a master student from Tsinghua University, won a number of academic social worker science and technology scholarships, applied for a number of national patents, and started his own company to develop air purification products. Lu Song of university of international business and economics once worked as an international volunteer in Kenya and India, and went to the second largest slum in Africa to teach, full of love; Chen Hongzhi, a master of the University of Tokyo, won a JASSO scholarship from the Japanese government, and now she has been Offer by Google. Duan Chao from Tongji University is only 21 years old, but he is already a doctor in the School of Civil Engineering.

    "School Beauty and Learning God" is another key seasonal reality show launched by the film channel, and this time it was joined by the main team of "Where is Dad?" Xue Shen, who finally won the championship, will receive a large amount of venture capital, while the winner of the school flower is an international co-production film contract. The program will be launched on CCTV-6 at 20:15 on April 12th. Let’s wait and see what kind of devil training Liu Yiwei, the strongest headmaster in history, will give to his students.

The US military declared war on cigarettes: the age of selling cigarettes was raised to 21, and e-cigarettes became a "bull’s-eye".

Recently, the US "Stars and Stripes" reported that the Pentagon will raise the age of selling cigarettes at military bases and ports in the United States from 18 to 21 from August 1, 2020, that is, soldiers under 21 are not allowed to buy cigarettes.

According to the military, US territory and property, as well as naval vessels in US ports, are subject to this regulation, and the sales of cigarettes, smokeless tobacco, hookahs, cigars, pipe tobacco and e-cigarettes will all be affected.

Why did electronic cigarettes, together with traditional tobacco, become the object of "declaration of war" by the US military?

Tobacco is one of the main culprits of abnormal death of American soldiers.

Smoking, alcoholism, drug overdose and drug abuse are the main culprits of abnormal deaths of military personnel recognized by the US military. Tobacco is one of the main culprits of abnormal death of American troops, which not only causes diseases and casualties, but also brings huge economic losses. According to Pentagon estimates, 30% of the military personnel who died of cancer were caused by smoking.

In recent years, the US military has taken great pains to ban smoking, but …

What "smoke" can American soldiers do without?

All kinds of tobacco products are very popular in the shops of US military bases.

Cigarettes are the standard of US military rations.

During World War II, cigarettes were once essential supplies for the US military, and the logistics department would stuff several packs of cigarettes into soldiers’ backpacks. Smoking has also become a secret weapon for soldiers to relax or paralyze themselves between battles.

As a result, Marlboro, Camel and other famous American cigarettes landed on the European continent with the US military, and 430 million cigarettes and 20 million cigars were transported to the European battlefield every month!

For decades, cigarettes, together with coffee, canned lunch meat and compressed dry food, have become the standard configuration of US military combat rations.

Note: In view of the impact of cigarettes on health, the US military began not to distribute cigarettes in military rations in 1975.

American soldier called "Marlboro Man" by the media in the Iraq War.

According to a survey conducted by the U.S. Department of Defense and related institutions in 2009, the number of smokers in the U.S. military exceeded 1/3 of the whole army. In 2015, 7.4% of active servicemen smoked every day. In 2019, the Ministry of National Defense reported that soldiers deployed in the front line were the most addicted to cigarettes, and about half of the US troops serving in Iraq smoked.

In addition, veterans with combat experience are 50% more likely to smoke than soldiers who have never experienced war. More than 80% soldiers use tobacco products to "relax or calm down" and 81.5% people use tobacco products to "help relieve stress".

Marine corps’ favorite: chewing cigarettes

In addition to traditional cigarettes, chewing tobacco is also a favorite of American soldiers. If you have seen westerns, you will find that this "smokeless tobacco" has a long history.

In 2015, it was estimated that 7.4% of pilots used smokeless tobacco.

In 2016, Lieutenant General Mark Aidig, the chief military doctor of the Air Force Research Group, said that the rate of chewing tobacco products used by the military was still higher than that of civilians.

In 2019, the Marine Corps had the highest utilization rate of smokeless tobacco products, reaching 21.3%.

New upstart in recent years: e-cigarettes

E-cigarette, which belongs to steam smoke, is mainly composed of battery, heating evaporation device and a smoke tube filled with smoke liquid. Because when using e-cigarette, it will be heated to produce trace steam (the word vape comes from vapor, that is, steam), smoking e-cigarette is called "vaping" to distinguish it from traditional "smoking".

American troops who "enjoy" electronic cigarettes.

In the United States, e-cigarettes were originally approved by the US Food and Drug Administration to help smokers quit smoking. Because of its light weight, convenient carrying and storage, low price and diverse tastes, the number of consumers of e-cigarettes in the United States is increasing year by year, especially among young officers and men.

Since 2012, U.S. military stores and supermarkets have started to sell e-cigarettes, and the sales volume has increased steadily (the sales volume of air force stores alone reached 272,700 in 2016). After a short decline, by the beginning of 2019, the sales volume of U.S. military e-cigarettes almost doubled, and the top rankings were mainly mint and fruit flavors.

According to a survey conducted by the US military in 2015, compared with 2011, the number of soldiers using e-cigarettes increased five times; 11.1% of soldiers use electronic cigarettes every day, and about 7.4% smoke cigarettes. Among the recruits of that year, nearly 20% said they were e-cigarette smokers.

In January 2019, the Rand Company reported that the Marine Corps used the highest proportion of e-cigarettes, accounting for 16.1%; Followed by the navy, 14.5%; The army is 11.2%; Air force 10.5%; Coast Guard 9.3%.

Tobacco, an invisible and deadly enemy

The harm of cigarette products is actually the same all over the world. Because cigarettes are the fixed military food of the US military, the research on the harm of cigarettes by the US military is more practical.

One of the hazards: destroying the health of soldiers

According to the data of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, cigarette smoke contains more than 7,000 chemicals, 70 of which can cause cancer and cause more than 5 million deaths worldwide every year.

In 2012, smoking killed about 443,000 Americans, accounting for about one-fifth of the annual deaths in the United States. The number of deaths caused by tobacco use each year exceeds the sum of deaths caused by AIDS, illegal drug use, drinking, car accidents, suicide and murder. In 2013, the number was 480,000, of which about 49,000 were victims of second-hand smoke.

Smoking can cause cancer in almost any part of the body, including blood, bladder, cervix, colon, esophagus, kidney, throat, liver, lung, mouth, pancreas, stomach and trachea. The Pentagon estimates that 30% of soldiers who died of cancer were caused by smoking.

Bianca Sandifer, an army soldier, smokes in front of a convenience store.

In addition, smoking can lead to coronary heart disease, abdominal aortic aneurysm, cataract, diabetes and many more serious diseases.

Smokeless tobacco, such as moist snuff and chewing tobacco, is as harmful as smoking, and may lead to oral cancer, esophageal cancer and pancreatic cancer. It may also damage gums, lead to tooth decay and tooth loss, and increase the risk of death from heart disease and stroke. Smoking can also increase blood pressure and increase blocked arterial plaques.

In recent years, US military health officials have been clamoring for officers and men to seriously consider quitting smoking, encouraging all military units to carry out educational activities, and warning officers and men who smoke for a long time, especially young soldiers aged 18-19, that "you are simply playing Russian roulette with your own life".

The military health problems caused by smoking have also directly affected the operational deployment of the US military. During the Iraq war, the US investigation team went deep into the front-line combat troops to spot-check the position of combatants, and found that more than a dozen soldiers died of diseases caused by long-term excessive smoking (some of them were doped with various drugs). Surprisingly, their troops did not report it in time, and some commanders even claimed the pay of the dead soldiers.

The second hazard: swallowing up huge military expenditures.

In 2009, the Pentagon spent as much as $874 million on medical treatment and manpower loss due to smoking and chewing tobacco, and the Department of Veterans Affairs spent $6.46 billion on the treatment of tobacco-related diseases.

In 2014, a memorandum of the Ministry of National Defense said that the use of tobacco brought about $1.6 billion in medical expenses to the military every year-the government had to allocate huge sums of money to the Ministry of Health to perform surgery and treatment for soldiers with lung and cardiovascular diseases, most of which required long-term care and medication.

For officers and men, the cost of long-term smoking is not small. According to the data of the National Cancer Institute of the United States in July 2019, the average price of a pack of cigarettes is 6.28 dollars, and a pack of cigarettes per day costs 188 dollars per month, 2292 dollars per year, and 10 years of smoking costs as much as 23,000 dollars per person.

Note: $6.28 per pack is only the national average, and the price will be higher in states and regions where tobacco taxes are higher.

Smokers must also pay higher life insurance and other auxiliary expenses such as dental hygiene.

The third hazard: causing dangerous accidents.

On May 22nd, 2008, the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier "George Washington" of the United States caught fire on its way to Japan in the South Pacific Ocean, causing 37 injuries and losses of more than 70 million dollars! The cause was that a second lieutenant illegally smoked and threw cigarette butts at the lifting platform, which ignited 90 gallons of flammable materials stored in the material room and boiler room. Then the fire spread all over the ship, and it took five hours to be put out.

The following year, the U.S. Department of Defense stipulated that no one was allowed to smoke below the submarine deck. However, the long-term working in a narrow and dark cabin has a great impact on the psychological situation, and it is easy to be agitated and fearful. It relies on tobacco to calm down the mood. About 40%(2011 statistics) of naval soldiers have the habit of smoking, which often leads to fires.

Why do e-cigarettes become "bull’s-eye"?

E-cigarettes with gorgeous packaging and many flavors are not beautiful behind the painted skin.

There is no evidence that e-cigarettes can help people quit smoking for a long time. In May 2018, the Ministry of National Defense issued the "Quit Smoking Briefing", saying: "E-cigarettes are not an approved way to quit smoking. The use of e-cigarettes by young people who do not smoke may lead to smoking, because most e-cigarettes contain nicotine, which is very addictive."

Not only that, it is even fatal.

First, the battery of e-cigarette is at risk of explosion.

In April, 2017, Houston Chronicle reported that a 56-year-old navy veteran had a third-degree burn on his right leg and a hole was blown out because an electronic cigarette exploded in his pocket, and filed a lawsuit against the electronic cigarette company.

A year later, the US Navy announced the ban on e-cigarettes, and cited a large number of reports about the explosion of e-cigarettes and injuries to crew members. According to the website of the Ministry of National Defense, in October 2015 and June 2016, there were at least two serious electronic cigarette battery explosions in the US military, and several times they exploded in soldiers’ mouths. The news that e-cigarette users in the United States are injured by battery explosion is endless.

In April 2017, the US Navy issued an announcement prohibiting electronic cigarettes from entering the fleet to protect crew, equipment and ships.

Second, e-cigarettes contain pathogenic substances.

Air force research believes that e-cigarettes can provide nicotine, essence and other chemicals to soldiers in the form of steam instead of smoke. These chemicals are heated to produce an aerosol that is inhaled into the lungs, and some of them will damage the lungs after mixing, which in turn will cause inflammation. More and more studies show that smoking e-cigarettes can easily cause users to cough, shortness of breath, chest pain, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, fatigue, fever or weight loss.

The chemicals in e-cigarettes are often fatal.

In February 2018, the Fayetteville Observer reported that at least 24 soldiers had been treated at the Womach Army Medical Center in fort bragg, North Carolina for long-term use of e-cigarettes, "with symptoms ranging from headache to epilepsy". Two months later, the number of cases in Womach Army Medical Center and the Naval Medical Center in Camp Lejun increased to about 60 people (including civilians and civilians in military bases), and 38 people were diagnosed with diseases caused by e-cigarettes, including 7 deaths, including 1 marine.

In January 2019, two army soldiers suffered lung damage due to smoking e-cigarettes; In August, an adult patient in Illinois was hospitalized with severe lung disease after smoking e-cigarettes and died of respiratory failure.

Officials from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said that 193 people in 22 states were infected with serious respiratory diseases after smoking e-cigarettes, which were similar to inhalation injuries. Since then, the number of deaths among patients with lung injury caused by the use of e-cigarettes in the United States has risen rapidly.

As of October 29, 2019, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported more than 1,800 cases of lung injury and 37 deaths. What they have in common is that patients have used e-cigarettes.

E-cigarettes are very popular in the US military.

Third, e-cigarettes hide "poison"!

Among the 193 people mentioned above, nearly one-third of the patients admitted to smoking electronic cigarettes containing Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC, the main active substance of cannabis, which is four times as toxic as cannabis).

The American Electronic Cigarette Association said that "contaminated black market THC products" were the culprit and called on federal officials to remove suspicious nicotine electronic cigarette products. In October 2019, among 573 cases of lung injury in the United States, 76% used products containing THC.

According to people in the electronic cigarette industry in the United States, electronic cigarettes contain various chemical additives (fruit flavor) and cigarette oil. In addition to THC, there are Cannabidiol (CBD), which belongs to synthetic drugs and controlled chemicals and is called "spice" by drug addicts. Its toxicity is 5 ~ 200 times that of THC!

According to the United States Uniform Military Justice Code, it is illegal for military personnel to keep, use and distribute CBD, which is basically similar to the abuse of illegal drugs and drugs. In 2010 and 2011, 380 people and 497 people in the Air Force were punished for using CBD.

However, due to the widespread use of e-cigarettes in the military, no one has seriously investigated them. The use of electronic cigarettes mixed with CBD has become increasingly popular among American pilots in recent years. Some pilots even vomit, are allergic and hallucinate after smoking, and cannot perform combat tasks.

The air force crime investigation office issued a special warning: "We strongly recommend not to use other people’s e-cigarettes unless they really know what is in them."

Two soldiers smoked electronic cigarettes to relax during the training interval.

More dangerously, because the military prohibits the use of THC and CBD, many officers and men take risks, buy Syntheticcannabinoid (SCO) through the Internet or get them from relatives and friends, and add them to e-cigarettes. This chemical has serious medical effects, which can easily lead to headaches, nausea, vomiting and palpitations, and lead to dizziness, disorientation and epilepsy.

In addition, British health officials have studied 75 kinds of best-selling electronic cigarettes in the United States and found that 25% of them contain bacterial components, and about 61 samples contain fungal components.

On March 28th this year, the US Food and Drug Administration said that if e-cigarette users are infected with Covid-19, the risk of serious complications may be higher.

The US military took great pains to ban smoking.

All kinds of tobacco do harm to people, and the significance of banning smoking to the army is self-evident.

On June 22, 2009, President Obama, who was quitting smoking, signed the Tobacco Restriction Act, giving the US Food and Drug Administration unprecedented power to strictly restrict and manage the production and sale of tobacco products.

Subsequently, Pentagon health experts put forward a proposal to Robert Gates, then Secretary of Defense, to ban smoking in the US military: first, all recruits are required not to smoke; Subsequently, on all US military bases, warships and planes, military personnel were prohibited from using any type of tobacco; Expand treatment programs to help military addicts quit smoking.

Both traditional cigarettes and e-cigarettes will be strictly controlled.

In May 2010, the navy proposed that new regulations would be formulated to prohibit soldiers from smoking in submarines.

In April 2016, the then Secretary of Defense Ashton Carter proposed new measures to restrict soldiers from smoking and asked the Pentagon to make specific plans.

Specifically, it mainly involves the following aspects:

:: Annual Tobacco Use Prevention Strategic Plan

The Ministry of National Defense issues the "Annual Tobacco Use Prevention Strategic Plan" every year, setting the proportion of reducing the smoking rate of soldiers in that year; Invest a huge sum of money in hospitals, buy all kinds of smoking cessation supplies and drugs, help military personnel who smoke quit smoking, and treat those who suffer from diseases caused by smoking.

For soldiers who are always ready to fight, the plan lists many direct benefits of quitting smoking, such as: improving vigilance and cognitive function; Improve visual performance and provide night vision ability; Improve the ability to cope with stress; Enhance vital capacity; Increase the ability of sports coordination; Improve physical endurance; Reduce the absenteeism rate.

:: Raise the age threshold for purchasing tobacco.

With regard to the minimum age of tobacco buyers, American states have different regulations:

Forty-six States plus Washington, D.C., stipulate that people over the age of 18 can buy cigarettes;

Alabama, Alaska, New Jersey and Utah raised the age of buying tobacco to 19;

Hawaii, New York and parts of Massachusetts are 21 years old.

In recent years, American smokers have shown a trend of youthfulness. The Army Public Health Center said in the 2018 Army Health Report that among the active soldiers who used tobacco in the report, the number of people under the age of 25 was the largest, accounting for about 23%.

In December 2019, the US Food and Drug Administration officially changed the federal minimum age for purchasing tobacco from 18 to 21; When selling tobacco products to people under the age of 21, dealers must check their photo ID cards. It is illegal for people under the age threshold to buy and use tobacco, and they are generally sentenced to community service. If drugs are mixed into cigarettes, they will be disposed of according to law.

But Gary Riddy, CEO of the American Cancer Society, said: "Raising the age does not solve the main problem."

* Increase the price of cigarettes.

A veteran who participated in the Vietnam War recalled that when he was serving in a submarine, 10 packs of cigarettes (200 cigarettes) cost only $1.05. Almost everyone smoked because it was too cheap, which helped to kill time and eliminate fear.

In order to encourage soldiers to quit smoking, the Ministry of National Defense has raised the price of tobacco in military stores several years ago, and the sales of traditional tobacco in military bases have declined. In the stores (supermarkets) of the Army, Air Force and Marine Corps, the sales volume decreased by nearly half from 2011 to 2017, and the sales volume of naval stores decreased by about one third.

* Expand the area of smoke-free areas.

Since late March 2015, the Air Force has banned smoking in entertainment places in military bases such as beaches, parks, bowling alleys and basketball courts. The regulations cover military personnel, civilian personnel, contractors and their families. Since 2016, American soldiers are forbidden to smoke during exercises and basic training, but military bases have special smoking areas for soldiers to use during their leisure time.

At present, the military and hospitals, clinics and pet hospitals affiliated to the Department of Veterans Affairs have clearly stipulated a total ban on smoking, including cigarettes, smokeless tobacco, cigars, pipes and electronic cigarettes.

* Remove electronic cigarettes from the cabinet.

In 2019, after the first death case related to e-cigarettes appeared in the United States, Michigan and Massachusetts announced that they would suspend the sale of all e-cigarette products, while New York prohibited the sale of scented e-cigarettes, and Wal-Mart also announced that they would stop selling e-cigarettes.

Immediately, officials of the Naval Trading Service Command decided that "out of great caution", stores operated by the navy will no longer sell e-cigarettes from October 1, 2020; Shops operated by the Army and Air Force will also remove e-cigarette products from the shelves and close their business on September 30.

It is difficult to ban smoking, and it is difficult to go to the sky.

In addition to the above-mentioned measures to start with tobacco, various services of the US military have also carried out targeted smoking cessation education activities.

At the logistics base in barstow, California, the Marine Corps has been carrying out the "Smoke-free Marine Corps Action" (or "Smoke-free Zone Action") plan for several years, which was jointly completed by the tobacco treatment expert program of Florida State University Medical College and the Smoking Cessation Clinic of Tampa Veterans Affairs Bureau Medical Center, aiming at helping the Marines quit smoking completely.

The plan includes all kinds of nicotine replacement therapy, using drugs, patches, chewing gum or buccal tablets to help nicotine withdrawal, counselors distributing manuals to smokers in the base, providing guidance and interaction at any time, conducting regular carbon monoxide tests and follow-up, and communicating smoking cessation by telephone.

Bremerton Naval Hospital holds the "Great American Quitting Smoking Campaign" every year, calling on smokers to stop smoking for one day, observe their physical changes, and seek ways to quit smoking with the help of doctors.

A soldier is reading smoking cessation materials.

In addition, most US military bases, including overseas bases, offer smoking cessation courses, which usually last for several weeks. Doctors are specially hired to provide hope, advice and medication for smokers to reduce their addiction. Some bases also set up smoking cessation hotlines and websites to provide information for smokers.

US military health officials believe that an active lifestyle can help people stay away from tobacco.

Exercise and meditation can increase human energy, enhance self-confidence, release endorphins to manage stress, improve body structure, improve vital capacity, heart strength and cell repair of newly oxygenated blood, improve sleep mode, help lower blood pressure and slow down the formation of plaque blocking arteries.

Diet is equally important for quitting smoking. Eating foods rich in vitamins and minerals, whole grains, lean meat, green leafy vegetables, low-fat dairy products and fruits rich in antioxidants, including nuts, seeds from plants, berries, chicken, fish and beans, can help keep energetic and provide the body with the nutrients it needs.

Despite this, smoking in the US military has been repeatedly banned. The reason is not difficult to understand:

First, tobacco has a very long history in the US military, and it is a "standard" in combat. From generals to soldiers, smoking has become a tradition, and in recent years, it has shown an obvious trend of younger smokers.

Second, it is militancy. American military bases are spread all over the world, especially front-line troops, who are always in combat, fighting in the front line and accustomed to bloody soldiers, are under great physical and mental pressure, and often need to relax and relieve their fears through smoking.

The war also produced a large number of disabled veterans all over the United States. Many of them have no stable income, wandering the streets, and some suffer from severe depression, post-traumatic stress disorder and other diseases, and need to rely on drugs all day long. Quite a few people can’t get help. They rely on cheap cigarettes to relieve pain and paralyze themselves for a long time, and some even die of drug addiction by doping drugs in cigarettes.

It is a good idea for the US military to ban smoking. However, are American officers and men who are constantly sent by the president and the government to fight in strange countries and regions grateful and can they give up their dependence on cigarettes? This question mark is still very big!

The opening tide of "Gansu Mala Tang" new store: quality should keep up with quantity.

496c6b2318d1447ebe04dc5c2e343daa.png

□ Zhong Qiqi (Southwest University of Science and Technology)

Recently, Tianshui Mala Tang in Gansu has been hot. This wave of mala Tang food not only swept Tianshui, Gansu Province, but also caused "the fever of opening stores in Gansu Mala Tang" all over the country. So far, many cities, including Tianjin, Jinan and Chengdu, have set off a new store opening tide of "Gansu Mala Tang". In January, there were more than 150 newly opened "Gansu Mala Tang" stores in China. (Red Star News on March 18th)

It is understood that after Tianshui Mala Tang went out of the circle in Gansu, many entrepreneurs and businesses seized this business opportunity and quickly opened the "Gansu Mala Tang" store. Among them, there are businesses that just learned the technique of stir-frying mala Tang in Tianshui last year, and in March this year, they ushered in a "good start", and there are also businesses that "diverted" halfway and urgently changed the barbershop to a mala Tang shop. This shows that the popularity of the business opportunity of Gansu Mala Tang is extraordinary. Then, what kind of impact will it have when the "Gansu Mala Tang" store welcomes the opening tide?

On the one hand, the popularity of Gansu Mala Tang can provide businesses and entrepreneurs with profit opportunities and let them take the commercial express of "Gansu Mala Tang". On the other hand, "Gansu Mala Tang" shops have blossomed all over the country, and some bosses have specially invited masters with 20 years’ experience in stir-frying Mala Tang to ensure the authentic taste. For migrant workers, students and other groups who are inconvenient to travel, you can eat Tianshui Mala Tang in Gansu without going to Gansu, so that everyone can enjoy delicious food and save travel costs.

It is worth noting that there are more and more "Gansu Mala Tang Restaurants", but can their quality meet the standard? With the increase of the number of shops, it is inevitable that the quality will be uneven. For example, some shops are overpriced, some shops are not authentic in taste, and some shops are not up to standard in sanitary conditions … If these problems occur, they will not only affect this shop, but also affect the reputation of Gansu Mala Tang in the whole industry.

Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen the supervision of various stores. First of all, health conditions must meet the standards, and health issues have always been the most concerned issue for consumers, and they must not be sloppy; Second, the price should be fair and reasonable and cannot disturb the market order; Secondly, you can’t "hang sheep’s head and sell dog meat", and you can’t use the signboard of "Gansu Mala Tang". The mala Tang sold has nothing to do with Gansu Mala Tang … To prevent these problems, you must rely on the merchants to consciously take responsibility, and second, you must rely on the supervision and management of relevant regulatory authorities.

Generally speaking, consumers expect to eat local specialties such as Gansu Mala Tang at their doorstep, and hope that such specialty food shops will strengthen supervision and improve their standards while "seizing business opportunities and taking the express train" to provide authentic local specialties for everyone.

Revealing the speculation behind "garlic you are malicious": the funds of large speculators exceed 100 million.

  Xinhua News Agency, Jinan, April 17th Title: Small speculators claim to have invested 1 million yuan and earned 1 million yuan-revealing the speculation behind "garlic is cruel"

  Xinhua News Agency "Xinhua Viewpoint" reporters Yuan Junbao and Liu Jinhui

  Recently, "garlic you malicious" once again. According to the investigation of Xinhua Viewpoint reporters in Jinxiang, Shandong, Zhongmu, Henan and other major garlic producing areas, the decline in output and market supply and demand are the decisive factors of this wave of "garlic you are ruthless" market, but there are also many speculators who add fuel to the flames.

  In the eyes of speculators, garlic market is like a casino. If you bet right, you can get rich overnight and return home in a luxury car; If you make a mistake, you will lose everything, and the debt collector will make it difficult for you to return home. Speculators influence prices through various means. Some small speculators bluntly said that "they invested 1 million yuan this year and almost earned 1 million yuan", and the funds of large speculators even exceeded 100 million yuan.

  "Once in heaven, once in hell" is a big casino speculator with funds exceeding 100 million yuan.

  "The world garlic sees China, and China garlic sees Jinxiang". In Nandianzi Garlic Market on Jincheng Road in Jinxiang County, hundreds of garlic brokers gather every day. It is known as "Garlic Wall Street" in the industry, and the garlic price in the whole country and even the whole world is dominated by it.

  Jinxiang is one of the main garlic producing areas in China. The garlic in Jinxiang and several surrounding counties and cities accounts for more than half of the garlic production in the main garlic producing areas, and the inventory is more than 60%. Here, it is no secret that "garlic is fried". Sometimes a batch of garlic is changed hands several times without moving in the cold storage. Driven by the "garlic you are malicious" market, many investors become rich overnight.

  "I invested 1 million yuan this year and almost earned 1 million yuan." Lao Cheng, a garlic merchant in Mamiao Town, Jinxiang County, said that he is only a small family, and the funds of more than 10 million yuan are considered medium, and some large families have funds of over 100 million yuan. Lao Cheng saved 200 tons of garlic last year, which was about 5 yuan/kg at the time of collection, and this year’s selling price was about 12 yuan/kg. Excluding the storage cost of 1 yuan per kg, he earned almost 5 yuan per kg.

  Mr. Sun, a garlic investor in Linyi, Shandong Province, regretted not investing in garlic this year. "A friend earned 4 million yuan and just drove back a Mercedes-Benz with more than 1 million yuan two days ago."

  It is understood that in July last year, when jinxiang garlic began to purchase and put into storage after harvest, the price was about 4.7 yuan/kg, but it reached 12.8 yuan/kg in mid-March this year, up 170%. "The highest price this year has exceeded the high point in 2010." Yang Guihua, executive director of Jinxiang Garlic Industry Information Association and secretary general of China Garlic Industry Information Alliance, said. 2010 is the year when "garlic is cruel" was widely known.

  Huge profits also mean huge risks. The price of garlic peaked in 2010, 2012 and 2016, while it was lower in other years. Especially at the end of 2008, the price of garlic once fell to only a few cents or even a few cents a catty.

  Zhongmou county, Henan Province is also an important garlic producing area. Mao Xiaoan is a garlic broker in zhongmou county, and has been working for 20 years. "I lost almost all my money in 2008, and I didn’t pay off the loan until last year." He said. Lao Cheng also told reporters that in 2012, the price of garlic fluctuated greatly, and he lost more than 600,000 yuan. Half of the money invested is your own, and the other half is raised by relatives and friends.

  In 2012, a foreigner named "Zhu Laosan" came to Jinxiang. "At that time, he brought hundreds of millions of yuan of funds. As a result, after a large number of purchases, the price rose rapidly in the short term but fell quickly, but lost more than 100 million yuan." An industry insider in Jinxiang County said.

  In the eyes of some garlic merchants, investing in garlic is gambling. Although they know that there are huge risks, garlic merchants still enjoy it. "If you earn money, you want to earn more, and if you lose money, you want to make money."

  "Fried garlic" such as "stock trading" runs through the whole cycle of production, warehousing and sales.

  According to Cui Xiaona, an agricultural product analyst at Zhuo Chuang Information, there are three reasons for this round of garlic price increase: First, the output has declined; Second, the demand for domestic demand and exports has not decreased or even increased; The third is hype. "In 2014, the national output decreased by about 8%-10%. The heavy snow and cold wave at the end of 2015 and the beginning of this year aggravated the expectation of garlic production reduction this year."

  In the eyes of most garlic merchants, market supply and demand are the most fundamental factors that determine the price of garlic. "There are more garlic, and it is difficult for you to fry again." However, they also admit that speculation has played a role in fueling the flames, intensifying the fluctuation range of prices, and "anything can be used" in the process of speculation.

  "At present, traditional business is not easy to do. Some big speculators, such as some real estate developers in Northeast China and Shanghai, who hold capital, have a hand of 30,000 to 40,000 tons. When there was less garlic on the market in March and April of the following year, they began to drive up the price and create the expectation that the price of garlic would rise sharply. " Liu Shaochen, president of zhongmou county Refrigeration and Preservation Association, said.

  The reporter’s investigation found that the general expectation of garlic production reduction this year was the initial factor of garlic price increase, but in the process of news dissemination, some of them were exaggerated or even artificially used. "At that time, in the garlic exchange group, some people released news of garlic production in some areas, but it was later confirmed that it was not so serious." A garlic operator in Jinxiang said that especially at the end of February this year, garlic merchants held a fresh-keeping industry conference in Shandong. The data from the meeting said that the national inventory was only 600,000 tons. Since that day, garlic has started a "crazy rise" mode.

  In addition to making a fuss about the true and false news, according to many insiders, in the process of price manipulation, big garlic merchants have many means, one of which is to buy and sell themselves, create price illusions, and guide other garlic merchants to follow suit; Second, when preparing for shipment, we bought it at a higher price, but the actual purchase volume was small, and at the same time, we secretly signed a large number of orders for shipment. "It is very similar to stock trading, and various methods and means are used, even more." An industry insider said.

  According to industry insiders, in recent years, in order to ensure the source of garlic, garlic merchants have generally begun to "secure land" before garlic goes on the market, that is, to buy future garlic in advance at a certain total price. "Gambling garlic has run through the whole cycle of garlic production, warehousing and sales."

  When does Garlic City Casino close?

  Although the price of garlic has skyrocketed, for many garlic farmers, the direct benefits are few. Chen Dongfeng, a garlic farmer in Yuzhuang Village, Wang Pi Town, Jinxiang County, said that he had to put it in storage before September of the previous year. The price he sold was 4.4 yuan/kg, and it didn’t matter how it rose after that. All the people who made money were fried garlic.

  With the listing of new garlic in various places, the price of jinxiang garlic has dropped to about 8.4 yuan/kg. Experts in the industry said that the most fundamental thing to reduce the skyrocketing garlic is to stabilize the planting area and output, and on this basis, increase the release of authoritative information, increase market transparency and reduce the space for speculation.

  It is understood that Jinxiang County has introduced garlic price insurance to promote the enthusiasm of garlic farmers. Yang Guihua said that the insurance price is determined by the average price in previous years, planting cost and other factors to protect the interests of garlic farmers. Chen Dongfeng and other garlic farmers said, "This is a good guarantee for us."

  Some insiders believe that it is difficult to identify and supervise garlic speculation. On the one hand, there are still different views in the industry on whether the phenomenon of hoarding goods and reluctance to sell goods belongs to market behavior or artificial manipulation; On the other hand, even if large merchants are United, it is difficult for relevant departments to grasp specific evidence.

  How can we reduce hype? Yang Guihua and others believe that authoritative information release should be increased to reduce unreasonable expectations. Some insiders suggest that on the basis of standardization, futures trading should be moderately carried out to achieve an effective balance of multiple short positions, so as to stabilize the price of garlic.

Law cannot bow to lawlessness, the power of justice in Article 20!


Special feature of 1905 film network In the spring festival movies, the box office has exceeded 800 million yuan, breaking the cumulative box office record of family films in China film history during the spring festival. As the first film on the theme of the rule of law focusing on "justifiable defense" in China, the popularity of the film Article 20 has also aroused public concern and heated discussion.



"Today’s Film Review" invited Sun Peng, director of the Second Inspection Department of Haidian District People’s Procuratorate and a first-class prosecutor, as a guest program to interpret the meaning behind Article 20 for the audience from a professional perspective.



Vivid image of prosecutor


The film "Article 20" restores the real prosecutors, who are serious and responsible about their work, but also have daily trivialities in their lives. Prosecutors also have ordinary people’s joys and sorrows, which are truly presented in the movies in a slightly humorous way.



Han Ming, the prosecutor, is sometimes overwhelmed with work, sometimes slack, and passive to his wife, Nuo Nuo. Such a prosecutor doesn’t seem to be in line with the image of a prosecutor in everyone’s mind, but this is actually the work and life of a real prosecutor. In many previous political and legal dramas, the image-building of prosecutors was a little too "Gao Daquan", and it was always a feeling of putting on airs. But in fact, prosecutors are ordinary people and have their own lives, and they will make jokes with colleagues after work and leisure, which does not affect the bottom line of objectivity and justice.



As the prosecutor Lu Lingling, the portrayal of the role in the film is more reflected in the work. In the film, Lu Lingling’s "stubborn" investigation of the case impressed many viewers deeply, not only because of the straightforward personality of the characters, but also because of Lu Lingling’s respect for her career.



The case was hosted by Lu Lingling, who was responsible for her own case for life. Therefore, Lu Lingling has been struggling with whether Liu Wenjing had this knife in her car. This knife is the key evidence to finally determine whether Wang Yongqiang is self-defense or revenge. In the case of unclear facts and evidence, how to make a correct judgment is to constantly pursue the integrity of the evidence and the authenticity of the facts.



However, whether Lei Jiayin plays Han Ming or Gao Ye plays Lu Lingling, there is no difference between them in their pursuit of legal profession, and their insistence on fairness and justice has never wavered. Sun Peng, the prosecutor, highly recognized the prosecutor’s image in Article 20, saying, "It is often said on the Internet that people of any profession can’t watch dramas of any profession, such as doctors can’t watch medical dramas and white-collar workers can’t watch workplace dramas. As a judicial officer, there are many times. When I go to see these political and legal dramas, I actually choose to watch them, but this movie has a strong sense of substitution, the case itself is very real, and there are enough drama conflicts. I am willing to regard it as it.



Popularization of Law in "Self-defense"


"Self-defense" is the key word that runs through the narrative of the film Article 20. Han Yuchen stopped bullying on campus, but was framed for deliberately hitting people; Zhang Guisheng, the bus driver, saw that the female passenger was harassed by a strange man and helped him. In anger, he injured the man, but in the end he was sentenced to intentional injury. Wang Yongqiang’s family was deeply bullied by the bully in Kangcun, and Liu Yongjing was stabbed in grief and indignation … … These three cases all have one thing in common, that is, they will all bring about discussions on self-defense, excessive defense and intentional injury. The film takes the realistic theme and the perspective of the little people as the incision and tells the justice and human feelings behind the law.


The contents of Article 20 of the Criminal Law of People’s Republic of China (PRC) are as follows:


Article 20 In order to protect the state, public interests, the person, property and other rights of oneself or others from ongoing unlawful infringement, the act of stopping unlawful infringement, which causes damage to the unlawful infringer, belongs to self-defense and does not bear criminal responsibility.


If justifiable defense obviously exceeds the necessary limit and causes great damage, criminal responsibility shall be borne, but the punishment shall be mitigated or exempted.


Taking defensive actions against crimes of assault, murder, robbery, rape, kidnapping and other violent crimes that seriously endanger personal safety, resulting in unlawful infringement of human casualties, is not excessive defense and does not bear criminal responsibility.


In fact, Article 20: Self-defense has existed since the beginning, but before, due to the inability and awareness of obtaining evidence, many cases of self-defense have not been applied accordingly.


Therefore, this film uses a number of cases to show and vivid stories to guide, which makes the most meaningful legal education work on the legal content of Article 20, and also makes more people understand self-defense.



The Supreme People’s Procuratorate also issued a document saying, "The reason why Article 20 is concerned is because it really happens to our people. It seems far away, but it may happen to us from time to time, so it is easy to resonate." Therefore, it is very valuable to let everyone know how the law stipulates and then prevent other illegal violations, which is worthy of publicity and promotion.



At the end of the film, Han Ming made the clearest analysis and explanation of the incident in front of all legal professionals, made clear the legal and moral standards that should be met, and made a profound statement, and also told all human laws not to give in to lawlessness. When we face illegal infringement in the future, we should also bravely take up legal weapons and defend our legitimate rights!


It will be implemented on October 8! It is related to the monthly withdrawal of Chengdu provident fund.

Revision background

Since October 8, 2021, Chengdu Provident Fund Center’s monthly loan repayment business has been put into operation. Through two different processing modes of "straight principal and interest" and "fixed withdrawal", it has taken the lead in realizing the full coverage of individual housing loans in the industry by interconnecting with financial information platforms such as cooperative banks and banking-government-communication platforms. Employees who have paid off provident fund loans, commercial loans and portfolio loans can withdraw housing provident fund to repay loans on a monthly basis, effectively reducing the repayment of individual housing loans by paid employees. The relevant regulations on the management of monthly withdrawal of housing provident fund from Chengdu housing provident fund to repay the principal and interest of individual housing loans (Trial), which has been implemented for supporting business, is about to expire.

Friends of youth, supreme leader

  "I care about young people everywhere." Along the way from the youth of the Loess Plateau in northern Shaanxi, the Supreme Leader General Secretary has always been concerned about, caring for and listening to young people, and has been a bosom friend, enthusiastic person and guide for young friends.

  Those who love young people will always love them.

  Inspired by the general secretary’s sincere concern and sincere expectation, hundreds of millions of young people in China are striving for progress and dedication, driving the national rejuvenation with the vitality of youth and writing the future of the country with the brilliance of youth.

  Intimate: "The general secretary communicates with everyone like a big friend."

  "Youth is the future of the country and the hope of the nation." In the mind of the Supreme Leader General Secretary, youth always occupies an important position.

  On the eve of the May 4th Youth Day in 2016, the General Secretary visited China University of Science and Technology, and specially went into the library to visit the students who were studying by themselves.

  "Learning in the library feel good atmosphere? Have to come early to take a seat? " "Where is home? Is it safe for parents to come to Hefei to go to college alone? " "Going to the western region to teach has a deep feeling this year, right? Children in rural areas do not forget their original intentions. " … …

  The general secretary is like an elder and close friend in the family, giving meticulous care to the students.

  When we walked out of the library, the teachers and students who saw us off were crowded on both sides of the road. The general secretary walked among everyone in the rain and shook hands one by one. More than ten minutes have passed, and the rain has already wet the clothes and shoes of the general secretary. The young students present recalled the scene and said with emotion: "The general secretary’s hand is warm and powerful, giving people strength."

  "The general secretary is so humble, peaceful, kind and kind" "There is no sense of distance from us at all" "No leadership shelf, no ‘ Mandarin cliche ’ Instead, communicate with everyone like big friends "… … The approachable, cordial and equal interactions have made countless young people feel warm.

Xinhua News Agency reporter Zhang Duan photo

  Participating in the theme group day activities of China University of Political Science and Law, the general secretary shook hands with the students standing in two rows, and none of them fell behind; Some students sat behind the general secretary. "When the general secretary listened to my speech, he turned around and looked at me."

  After the exchange with teachers and students of Peking University Marxist Institute, some students asked the General Secretary if he could take a group photo as a souvenir. The general secretary warmly agreed, and arranged a formation for them according to their height, and asked the photographer "is everyone showing their faces?"

  … …

  "Respect the nature of young people, take care of their characteristics, often go to young people and have zero-distance contact and face-to-face communication with them". The general secretary’s thoughtfulness is full of meticulous care and love.

  In September 2009, The Politburo Standing Committee (PSC), then the top leader of CPC and Vice President of China, visited Harbin Institute of Technology and had a cordial discussion with his classmates. The conference room was packed. When he saw many students around the door, he said, "Students come in and stand behind."

  Students stand and listen, and he stands and talks — — This detail is engraved in the hearts of every student present.

  After listening to the story told by the student representatives that many students with financial difficulties in their families were self-reliant through work-study programs, the Supreme Leader shared his experience of working during the day and reading at night when he was an educated youth in Liangjiahe: "People should suffer more and experience more hardships when they are young, so as to realize the ‘ Reincarnate ’ To achieve the effect of inspirational talent. "

  When talking face to face, he said humorously, "I am very willing to talk with our classmates ‘ Talk big ’ " ; During the impromptu conversation, I said with deep affection, "I told you so many words, and I also had a heart-to-heart conversation with my classmates"; In the short-lived correspondence room, you signed the letter with "the supreme leader of your comrades" … … A word of heartfelt words brings us closer to the youth.

  In August 1984, about 20 Zhengding college students from Hebei University who returned home in summer received a special invitation — — At that time, the supreme leader of Zhengding County Party Committee invited them to the county party Committee for discussion.

  When I received the news, Zhai Yuhu, a sophomore, was busy farming in the field. He still remembers the scene of that year.

  "You are the pride of the people of the county." At the forum, after everyone was seated, the supreme leader said, "College students are active in thinking and dare to tell the truth. I hope you will speak enthusiastically, don’t worry, and make more suggestions for the county."

  The sincere and frank words encouraged the college students present, and everyone spoke freely with excitement. Zhai Yuhu can’t forget a detail: the Supreme Leader specifically enjoined "If you have any good suggestions in the future, you can write to the county party committee or directly to me".

  At the end of the forum, the supreme leader stood up and said emotionally, "Welcome all the students here to come back and build our hometown with us. When you come back, I will welcome you with both hands! "

  "That discussion became the star of my life and guided me to move forward step by step." Zhai Yuhu said that from then on, he felt that he had more responsibility and mission on his shoulders.

  Since the 18 th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, he has had discussions with outstanding youth representatives from all walks of life to talk about the Chinese dream; Presided over a forum for grassroots representatives to listen to the opinions and suggestions of rural entrepreneurs born after 1990s and migrant workers born after 1990s; Have the same ideological and political class with the students on the university campus and participate in the discussion … … The General Secretary of the Supreme Leader is always willing to listen to the voices of young people and respond to their expectations.

  "To be a bosom friend of young people who are willing to tell the truth, be sincere and tell the truth." This is the way for the Supreme Leader General Secretary to communicate with the vast number of young friends.

  Enthusiasm: "Young people’s dreams, work and life are all in the general secretary’s heart."

  "Young people are the most worthy of love and expectation for the party and the country." The thoughts, worries and hopes of young people are the concerns of the Supreme Leader General Secretary.

  In December 2014, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader came to the Hengqin Campus of the University of Macau. The theme salon "Chinese traditional culture and contemporary youth" is being held here.

  "You don’t have to be nervous and speak freely." General Secretary of the Supreme Leader happily joined in. "I’ll listen to your discussion first, and then talk about your learning experience."

  Han Xingyun, a student of Macau University who studied folk music since childhood, deeply felt that some ancient scores of folk music were lost, and unpopular instruments were even more neglected. She was the first to speak, telling the confusion in her heart: "How can Macao youth carry forward national music?"

  In this regard, the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader shared his feelings of watching the cultural evening party celebrating the 15th anniversary of Macao’s return to the motherland the night before, and encouraged him: "The performance of the Macao Chinese Orchestra is of high quality", "Macao has folk music soil, and contemporary young people should have cultural consciousness and cultural self-confidence".

  "I am also a passionate advocate of Chinese culture and a loyal learner." The General Secretary of the Supreme Leader talked about his learning experience, reading Chinese cultural classics from teenagers, and forming the habit of "opening books is beneficial". Nowadays, leisure is still "a book in hand, which is endless fun".

  From the general secretary’s youth story, Han Xingyun found the answer to build cultural self-confidence and draw nutrition and strength from Chinese excellent traditional culture.

  Whenever communicating with young people, the general secretary is like an old classmate and a big friend, teaching the experience of people who have experienced it and giving intimate guidance.

  Speaking of "the purpose of learning", the general secretary proposed "giving back the knowledge learned to the society, being a useful person and doing something useful to the society";

  Talking about "how to be a man", the general secretary pointed out that "it is very important for young people to learn to be principled people, to have a kind of ethics, and to formulate some rules for themselves to be a man";

  To discuss "how to aspire", the general secretary exhorted "to pursue Excellence in climbing the peak of knowledge, to speak louder than words when shouldering the heavy responsibility of the times, and to achieve something in the real work";

  … …

  "The general secretary’s language is plain and sincere", "His views are very insightful, thoughtful and positive", "humorous" and "very knowledgeable" … … The general secretary’s words and deeds, such as spring breeze and rain, give young people enlightenment and insight.

  Youth is in the initial stage of life, and it is indispensable to grow up. Aware of the pressure and difficulty of young people, the general secretary always pays attention to the "key point" and "critical time" of young people’s growth.

  In June, 2022, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader who was inspecting in Sichuan came to Yibin College. In the truth-seeking hall, an enterprise recruitment presentation is going on.

  "Let me hear how you recruit." The General Secretary of the Supreme Leader asked the person in charge of the enterprise about the recruitment needs one by one, and also learned more about the employment intention and job search progress from the students. "What are the majors? Where do you want to work? "

  Liu Jiang, who is about to graduate, told the general secretary that he had been a soldier. The general secretary praised: "It’s good to have this experience. This is how steel is tempered."

  "The general secretary said ‘ This is how steel is made ’ ‘ College students should have a down-to-earth heart in their employment ’ I am deeply inspired. " Liu Jiang, who has now become an engineer, has been studying and accumulating in a down-to-earth manner, constantly tempering and upgrading his professional skills.

  From firm belief and self-cultivation, to study and choose a career and strive for innovation … … The general secretary profoundly grasps the characteristics and laws of the growth of contemporary youth, and points out the maze and direction for the development of youth with words that young people can understand and listen to.

  "Now many university student village officials are over 30 years old, and we all want to get married and have children, but our current income can hardly support these seemingly ordinary dreams of others." "Where is our way out after the service expires is also a problem we are entangled in" … … In 2014, the Guangdong delegation of the National People’s Congress deliberated the scene. Facing the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader, Xian Runxia, a post-80s college student village official, revealed her heart.

  After listening to Xian Runxia’s speech, the general secretary responded on the spot: "We should care about the work and life of college student village officials, including marriage and love issues, and create conditions for them to take root at the grassroots level and realize their dreams."

  Soon, Guangdong Province researched and formulated the training and mobility mechanism of college student village officials, and Guangzhou organized and set up a platform for dating and dating … … "I didn’t expect the general secretary to care so much.
