Netease Cloud Music, an App with a deep red background, has become an out-and-out dark horse in the online music market, and it will face more tests in the future with the great integration of the industry.

On April 11th, Netease Cloud Music held a press conference in Shanghai, announcing that the number of users exceeded 300 million. At the same time, it announced that it had completed the Series A financing of 750 million yuan, which was led by Shanghai Radio Station and Shanghai Culture, Radio, Film and Television Group (SMG). The valuation of this financing was as high as 8 billion yuan, and Netease Cloud Music, which was only launched for 4 years, was among the unicorn clubs.

Just after the New Year, the singer Zhao Lei’s name was brushed all over the circle of friends.

 

In the eyes of many people, the 31-year-old Beijing male singer became popular because she won the current runner-up with a folk song "Chengdu" in Hunan Satellite TV program "Singer". But in Netease Cloud Music, the name Zhao Lei has long been as hot as Jay Chou.

 

On October 24th, 2016, Zhao Lei’s "Chengdu" studio version was released exclusively on Netease Cloud Music, with over 30,000 comments a day, and 50,000 comments on Jay Chou’s new songs.

 

On December 21, 2016, Zhao Lei’s digital album "Can’t Grow Up" was exclusively released in Netease Cloud Music. Two months later, that is, two weeks after he won the runner-up, the sales of the album on Netease Cloud Music exceeded 200,000, which is nearly twice the total sales of the album on other music platforms.

 

From the popularity of Zhao Lei, we can see the characteristics of Netease Cloud Music, which is also a music platform. Zhao Lei’s fan growth rate, album sales and comments on Netease Cloud Music far exceed other platforms. Even QQ music with Zhao Lei’s exclusive live singing of "Chengdu" and more users failed to surpass Netease Cloud Music in data.

This is related to the community atmosphere and user types of Netease Cloud Music. Most of its more than 200 million users are young people from first-and second-tier cities, aged between 15 and 35, mostly students and white-collar workers. These people regard Netease Cloud Music as a music version of Weibo and a circle of friends, where they not only listen to songs and write song lists, but also frequently interact with independent musicians such as Zhao Lei, Li Zhi and Chen Li.

 

Compared with users of other platforms, these users contributed more music payment data. In 2016, the number of paid members of Netease Cloud Music increased by more than 9 times compared with 2015, while the number of digital album buyers increased by more than 7 times compared with 2015.

 

"Now QQ music and cool dog music rank in the top two in the industry, and we are tied for third place with Cool Me." Zhu Yiwen, CEO of Netease Cloud Music, told the reporter of Caijing Tianxia Weekly.

 

In the ranking of mobile application apps published by China Unicom in March 2017, QQ Music and Cool Dog Music ranked the top two in terms of monthly active users of 200 million and 150 million, while Netease Cloud Music and Cool Me Music ranked 56 million and 44 million respectively.

 

This App with crimson as the background color has become an out-and-out dark horse in the online music market.

 

According to the 2016 China Mobile Music Market Annual Comprehensive Report released by Analysys think tank, Netease Cloud Music increased by 163.8% in 2016 compared with the same period in 2014. Another data worth mentioning is the "music library utilization rate", that is, the efficiency of songs in the music library being played and listened to by users. The usage rate of Netease Cloud Music reaches 80%, while the industry average is less than 20%. This means that Netease Cloud Music is better at revitalizing the music library, and their users are also better at discovering "unpopular" music.

 

In April 2016, Netease Cloud Music was upgraded from the Music Product Center of Hangzhou Research Institute to the Music Division, becoming an institution on the same level as games, mailboxes, media and other projects. At the same time, it was reported that it started financing of 1 billion yuan, with a valuation of 8 billion yuan.

 

playlist

UGC mode not only increases the number of "song lists", but also improves the quality of song lists. The most important thing is to make the "music playing software" originally defined as a tool have social attributes-after editing and uploading the song list, users will actively push the song list on social media to show their music taste, and users with the same genre hobbies will comment and share under the song list. This makes the originally lonely music play lively.

 

"Most of the previous products told users’ I have a lot of songs here, you can listen to and download songs here’, and we want to tell users that we can help you find good songs, especially those that you may like but you don’t know."

 

In January 2013, Netease Cloud Music logged into the App Store, and Zhu Yiwen brushed Weibo all night that night and found that it "caused a sensation, and many people commented that it was a subversive product".

The first group of users are "musicians from major music forums or platforms". With the help of Chloe Wang’s connections in the music circle, they called "more than 20 best DJs in China" to upload song lists in Netease Cloud Music Production, which quickly caused users to follow suit, and more music lovers entered Cloud Music and made their own song lists.

 

Users have uploaded their own song lists compiled in different environments and emotions to Netease Cloud Music. Just from the name of the song list, they can see their love for this way of creation. Besides the common song lists that express their emotional needs, such as "those songs that accompanied me through the lovelorn period" and "healing songs", there are also songs that are suitable for different environments, such as "essential songs for knitting sweaters in the sun in winter", "most suitable songs for drinking coffee in the afternoon" and "essential songs for the elderly chess room".

 

Some fans enjoy making song lists without any material rewards, just hoping to meet "bosom friends".

 

"In version 1.0, in order to encourage some opinion leaders to create song lists, we will put their song lists on the homepage for recommendation, so that the collection and playback of song lists will increase rapidly, which is a great encouragement for the creators."

 

Of course, in addition to the appreciation from "bosom friends", song list makers will also get accusations from other users, such as "it is really a failure not to put such a song into the song list", and such nitpicking and responses have spawned user interaction, which, in Zhu Yiwen’s view, is "the embryonic form of music socialization".

 

Now, cloud music generates an average of 420,000 song lists every day. On the cloud music platform, the number of high-quality song lists (songs collected by more than 100 people) exceeds 200 million, among which the most clicked song list is "epic music that shocked the soul" made by ordinary users, with 1.17 million people collecting it, 28.82 million playing it and more than 17,000 comments. Some users commented under this song list, "Because of this song list,

 

"Now the song list has become a productivity tool." Zhu Yiwen said that with the increase in the number and quality of song lists, these song lists have replaced "music collections" in a wider range to meet the needs of different scenes. Some wedding companies directly use the wedding song list on Netease Cloud Music as the background sound of the wedding scene, while some video production companies choose the appropriate background music from the song list.

 

Today, the homepage of Netease Cloud Music no longer recommends a few songs in a unified way, but makes "personalized recommendations" according to each user’s music habits. Using big data technology, they will recommend songs that they may like according to the characteristics of different users.

 

"For example, if one million people like to listen to Blue Lotus as well as Ice Rain, which proves that the two songs are related, then we will recommend this combination to those who only listen to one of the songs. This is the basic algorithm for our song recommendation." Zhu Yiwen said.

 

This song list combination algorithm has brought higher activity to Netease Cloud Music. Now 50% of users are used to clicking and reading comments when listening to songs, which is a scene that has never appeared on other music platforms.

 

▲ Recently, Netease Cloud Music made the high-quality music reviews of ordinary users into posters and put them on the Hangzhou subway to explode the circle of friends.

 

In Zhu Yiwen’s view, this data proves that they have changed the listening habits of some people.

 

"In the past, everyone turned off the screen and listened to music after turning on the music player, but now they will listen to songs while listening to them, which proves that he is not listening to songs alone, but listening to songs with a group of people, which brings a human touch to Netease Cloud Music."

 

This has become the biggest moat of Netease Cloud Music. These music-loving users have continuously created content for Netease Cloud Music Platform, which extends a better "community atmosphere".

 

"The function may be imitated by others. If we are just a playing tool, others can easily copy our function. But today we are a community and they can’t copy my content. "

 

After Netease Cloud Music launched the "song list", other music playback platforms also launched similar functions. Even Cool Dog Music opened the "song barrage" in June 2016, and user comments appeared on the cover of songs in the form of barrage, further improving user interaction. However, the users of Netease Cloud Music are more active. In the ranking of monthly traffic consumption of music App users in China Unicom’s March Wo Index, Netease Cloud Music users lead other music platforms with 87MB, while QQ music users’ monthly traffic is 43MB and Cool Dog’s is 13MB.

 

change 

 

Last year, changes in Netease Cloud Music attracted the attention of the industry.

 

In April 2016, Chloe Wang left Netease Cloud Music and joined Baidu Music three months later as the general manager. At the same time, the structure of Netease Cloud Music was further adjusted. Zhu Yiwen was promoted from the earlier product director to the CEO of Netease Cloud Music, responsible for the overall management of Netease Cloud Music and reporting directly to Ding Lei. Chloe Wang’s previous operation and management work was taken over by Ding Bo, vice president of Netease Cloud Music, who reported to Zhu Yiwen.

The upgraded Netease Cloud Music has increased its support for independent musicians.

 

"Music also has a niche market. In the past, everyone was keen to listen to those popular songs, but now different people actually like different songs. Just like in the early years, everyone only watched CCTV, but now with the rise of various media and more people like different content, everyone’s tastes have been divided. " Zhu Yiwen said.

 

In November 2016, Netease Cloud Music released an independent musician support plan called "Stone Plan", which plans to invest 200 million yuan in one year to support independent musicians from seven aspects: promotion resources, album investment, performance opportunities, appreciation opening, music training, musicians’ surroundings and musician index system.

 

"Our definition of independent musicians is very broad. As long as we can record and upload songs, we can be independent musicians. However, we will develop a scoring system for such musicians, which is similar to the Baidu Index, and we will promote and support them according to the status and potential of musicians. " Zhu Yiwen said that these musicians can review and upload songs after filling in their personal identity information in the background. If the data of their songs on the platform is good enough, Netease Cloud Music will focus on exploring and creating new stars.

 

This is how Chen Li, a female folk singer, was discovered.

 

"At the end of 2013, we found that Chen’s data curve on our platform was very beautiful, so we focused on taking out her songs for recommendation. Later, sure enough, she was on fire. Of course, I dare not say that her popularity is all due to Netease Cloud Music, but it can be seen that the sales of her digital album here are record. " Ding Bo said in an interview with the reporter of Caijing Tianxia Weekly.

 

As of March 2017, the number of fans of Chen Li in Netease Cloud Music and QQ Music was 870,000 and 749,000. On July 26th, 2016, she simultaneously released her digital album "Little Dream Most" on Netease Cloud Music, QQ Music and Weibo Music. During the initial sale period-within two weeks, the album sold 50,000 copies in Netease Cloud Music, with sales of 1.01 million yuan. On the QQ music platform, it sold 27,000 copies with a sales volume of 549,000 yuan.

 

▲ The sales volume of Chen Li’s digital album in Netease Cloud Music is record. The activity of independent musicians has made Netease Cloud Music make up for the shortcomings of copyright to some extent.

 

Now there are more than 40,000 independent musicians on Netease Cloud Music Platform. This number may not be the largest among all online music platforms, but it is the highest in terms of activity. These musicians uploaded more than 800,000 original music works. In 2016, the number of settled musicians and uploaded original works doubled year-on-year, and the amount of original music played increased by more than five times.

 

"Independent musicians are more likely to become popular on our platform because our user base is more inclusive of new music. This makes it easier for us to promote some unpopular music, and it is this difference that allows independent musicians to get better development here. " Zhu Yiwen said.

 

The activity of independent musicians has made Netease Cloud Music make up for the shortcomings of copyright to some extent. As a latecomer, although Netease Cloud Music has gathered a popular community through the music+social mode, it still lags behind in terms of song copyright.

 

On July 15th, 2015, QQ Music announced the merger with China Music Group, becoming the largest exclusive copyright giant in China, which brought a lot of pressure to the latecomers.

 

At present, there are more than 10 million songs in Netease Cloud Music Library. Some of these songs are copyrighted by record companies, while others are purchased by Tencent in the form of exclusive copyright, and they need to pay distribution fees or copyright fees to Tencent.

 

Regarding the weakness of copyright, Ding Bo reflected: "Our biggest mistake is that these giants didn’t make timely moves when they went to grab exclusive copyright, which led us to be constrained by others in the future growth rate, but we also took a positive attitude to deal with this situation. We undertook distribution and paid copyright fees, hoping to bring users a better experience."

 

In order to fill the copyright shortcomings, Netease Cloud Music costs a lot.

 

Zhu Yiwen said: "At present, 80% of the total cost of Netease Cloud Music is spent on purchasing copyright." High copyright fees have delayed the profit plan. Since its establishment, Netease Cloud Music has never made a profit.

 

And the emergence of independent musicians let them see another opportunity-from copyright competition to copyright production.

 

On the one hand, they can make profits by selling digital albums. For example, Zhao Lei’s album "Can’t Grow Up" sold more than 200,000 yuan, which brought more than 3.2 million yuan to Netease Cloud Music. This album, which has no physical record and is only sold in digital form, is low in cost, low in price, convenient to buy and sell, and easy to create high sales.

 

On the other hand, they can cooperate with independent musicians and become record companies in the internet age.

 

In an interview with the reporter of Caijing Tianxia Weekly (ID:cjtxzk), Ding Bo said: "Traditional record companies use brokers to help musicians create songs, while the Internet platform can cover all brokers’ businesses. Besides traditional brokers, Internet companies can also help musicians make various data and provide various index reports."

 

Netease’s ambition for "original music" is obvious. Since it can’t surpass its rivals in the copyright of existing songs, why not overtake them in the "original music"?

 

In addition to selling digital rights, they will also open an "appreciation" function for independent musicians. Users can appreciate a favorite song, which may not be much, but it is an encouragement for musicians who have just debuted.

 

Under the situation that competitors monopolize copyright, this way of upstream and downstream development has become the new direction of Netease Cloud Music. In addition to promoting independent musicians, they also invested in music-related hardware manufacturers and undertook ticket sales for some small concerts.

 

At the same time, other music platforms are undergoing a new round of integration.

 

QQ Music and China Music Group merged to become Tencent Music Entertainment Group, with Tencent accounting for 60% of the shares. At present, this huge music group controls 42% of the copyright authorization of music lyrics and 53.1% of the copyright authorization of music recording in China. After the merger, QQ Music, Kugou and Kuwo belong to the same group company, with a market share of more than half.

 

On July 26, 2016, 10 days after the merger was announced, Wu Weilin, general manager of Tencent Digital Music Department, told the media that QQ Music "has achieved profitability", which is the first music streaming service in the world to announce profitability. It is reported that QQ Music will launch a listing plan with a valuation of nearly $10 billion.

 

In December 2015, Baidu Music announced the merger with Taihe Music Group, whose three major music brands, Taihe Wheat Field, Haidie Music and Dashi Copyright, reached various forms of cooperation with hundreds of well-known artists, and also reached in-depth cooperation with more than 100 institutions including the three major record companies in the world, holding music copyrights of more than 12 million through self-production and agency. Baidu Music has officially become a music industry chain company including record companies, copyright agents, live performances, ticketing and other businesses.

 

Netease cloud music, which has reached the front line with a dark horse posture, will face more challenges in the future.

 

But Zhu Yiwen still regards finding good music as the focus of Netease Cloud Music.

 

"I am not a heavy music lover, but I am a music discoverer." Zhu Yiwen said, "In 2013, Boss Ding took me and Chloe Wang to an activity. On the way, Chloe Wang asked us to listen to a song, saying that this song would definitely be popular in the future. At that time, I thought the lyrics were very distinctive, including wild horses and grasslands."

 

After listening to a song, Boss Ding agrees with Chloe Wang’s judgment. Later, this song was really a fire.

 

The singer’s name is Donye.S, and the song title is Miss Dong.

20 hospitals in Beijing will implement emergency classification from May 1 to ensure the life safety of patients to the greatest extent.

  In order to ensure that critically ill patients can receive timely priority treatment, the reporter learned from the Beijing Municipal Hospital Administration that from May 1, 2019, 20 Beijing-owned hospitals providing emergency services will uniformly implement emergency pre-examination and triage ("emergency classification").

  According to the former Ministry of Health’s Guide to the Construction and Management of Emergency Department (Trial) (Wei Yi Zheng Fa [2009] No.50) and the national health industry standard "Standardized Process of Hospital Emergency Department" (WS/T390-2012), it is clearly put forward that "emergency departments should formulate and strictly implement triage procedures and triage principles": patients should be divided into "endangered, critical, emergency and non-emergency" 1.

  Level 1 patients are in critical condition and may be life-threatening at any time, and immediately enter the resuscitation room or rescue room for rescue. Such as cardiac arrest, shock, definite myocardial infarction, status epilepticus, body temperature > 41℃, systolic blood pressure < 70mmHg, blood sugar < 3.33mmol/L, etc.

  Grade 2 patients are critically ill or rapidly deteriorating and life-threatening, and enter the rescue room for treatment within 10 minutes. Such as severe dyspnea, lethargy, acute stroke, ECG suggesting acute myocardial infarction, active or severe blood loss, etc.

  Grade 3 patients are in an urgent condition and have potential life threats, and priority is given to diagnosis and treatment before grade 4 non-emergency patients. Such as acute asthma, foreign body inhalation, dysphagia, persistent vomiting, chest and abdominal pain, mild and moderate trauma, mild and moderate bleeding, etc.

  Grade 4 patients are non-emergency, and the degree of illness is average. According to the guidelines, the waiting time is longer. Such as mild pain without dangerous features, minor abrasions without suture, follow-up visit of patients in stable recovery period, and only issuing medical certificates.

  How to achieve scientific classification and give consideration to fairness and safety? According to reports, first of all, the emergency departments of all hospitals have arranged experienced personnel to engage in emergency pre-examination and triage, and organized all medical staff related to emergency to conduct special training for all staff; Secondly, the most important basis for grading is the collection of patients’ vital signs by professional instruments, including heart rate, blood pressure, blood oxygen saturation, etc., and the medical staff will combine the patient’s medical history, symptoms and signs to make the final scientific grading and subordinate to the specialty; Third, professionals monitor the condition of patients in the waiting area. For Grade 3 and Grade 4 patients, when waiting in the waiting area, there will be specialized medical personnel to patrol regularly to dynamically evaluate the condition and potential risks of the patients waiting for treatment, and they can be graded again according to the latest evaluation to ensure the safety of patients. If the patient has sudden discomfort, please inform the medical staff in time so as to take corresponding medical care measures in time.

Short video, how short is the most appropriate?

Short video news is changing people’s habit of watching TV news for a long time. The All Media School had previously paid attention to the trend of Washington post’s short video strategy. Today, it once again focuses on methodology. How short video is the most popular?

The Journalist’s Resource website synthesizes many reports and sorts out the essential tips of video editing. To get the best "input-output ratio" of news video production, we need to figure out how long it is most appropriate!

In 2014, a report from the Pew Research Center showed that in the United States, more than 6 out of 10 adults had the habit of watching online videos, and 36% of them chose to watch news videos.

People who have the habit of watching online videos account for 63%.

YouTube has more than 1 billion registered users, and the massive user viewing data can most intuitively reflect how long videos are the most popular.

As early as 2012, Pew Research Center began to study the video viewing data on YouTube, and concluded:The most popular video is about 2.1 minutes long.. This video is slightly longer than the local TV news, but shorter than the online evening news collection.

Research institute ComScore found in a report in 2014 that,The average duration of online video (excluding online video advertisements) is about 4.4 minutes.

The Tow Center Digital Journalism Research Center of Columbia University also published a multimedia research report in 2014, compiling the challenges faced by newsrooms, such as how media organizations try to use video as a profitable editing tool.

Although many organizations have published research reports, there is no "absolute standard" for the duration of news videos. This is because, to a great extent, readers’ tastes and standards are constantly changing.Therefore, in the discussion about the length of moving vertical video, there have been various opinions.

However, the latest research from the University of Texas at Austin provides some new perspectives.

The research team published their research results in the professional journal News Research this year, focusing on the quality and length of news videos, trying to find out the characteristics of news videos that attract readers and estimate people’s viewing preferences.

Peter S. Chen, the first author from the University of Texas, published a paper with two co-authors from the University of Southern Mississippi. The core findings are as follows:

1. High-definition image quality and information determine the "first impression"

Although previous studies have proved that if video content can arouse the audience’s interest, they can also tolerate low-quality video images.

But,Readers won’t tolerate pictures that are not informative, poor in texture and have no sense of pleasure.I will not recommend this to others.

2. Don’t ask the source of the video, talk about the hero by length.

It is found that it is most appropriate to keep the video content of a short video at 2.08 minutes. A slightly shorter video is most suitable in 24 seconds.

3. When both image quality and duration are taken into account, image quality takes precedence.

When both quality and length are considered, compared with other videos,People will prefer long and high-definition videos or short and high-definition videos.

4. Quality is paramount, and video editing also needs professional training.

The quality of a news video can affect the audience’s cognition of news organizations, and the longer the video, the deeper the cognitive impression.

In recent years, many editors are required to be able to produce and edit news videos, but they have not received professional training.

"This enables employees who lack professional visual training to post videos online, especially those short videos."And such reckless practices will leave a "bad impression" on readers.

"Just like the paper media dealing with the content crisis, publishing news videos online can only solve the problem of how to attract audiences by overcoming quality problems."The researchers stressed that other components of video still need more research. For example, audio quality and its composition, which is also an important factor for the audience to decide to start or stop watching.

Related research:

In 2011, a paper in the journal News Research proposed that "the more relaxed the content, the more clicks it can get" by studying YouTube videos. Of course, this is not to deny that traditional news videos can’t gather popularity.

====================

This article is an exclusive editorial of All Media School.

Seeing the three dimensions, understanding the general secretary and then talking about the sobriety and firmness of "rushing for the exam"

  General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out at the seminar on "Learning the spirit of the important speech of the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader and Meeting the 20th Party Congress" for leading cadres at the provincial and ministerial levels that in order to consolidate the long-term ruling position and always win the heartfelt support of the people, we must always be sober and firm in "catching the exam".

  Looking back, in September, 2019, on the eve of celebrating the 70th anniversary of the founding of New China, the General Secretary proposed to answer the questions of the new era with sobriety and firmness in "catching the exam" when inspecting the memorial site of Xiangshan Revolution in Beijing. In 2021, at the Fifth Plenary Session of the 19th Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the Party History Learning and Education Mobilization Conference, the General Secretary mentioned "keep &lsquo; Catch the exam &rsquo; Sober. "

  "The times are the writers, we are the respondents, and the people are the reviewers." The examination papers are always new, the true colors are still the same, and "catching the exam" is always on the road.

  Catch the exam all the way: the Communist Party of China (CPC) has lived up to history and people’s choice.

  A political party, from small to large, from weak to strong, is also simple at the beginning, and it will be great at the end.

  In July 1921, the Communist Party of China (CPC) was born in Shanghai Shikumen and Nanhu Red Boat. From Jinggangshan to northern Shaanxi, from northern Shaanxi to Xibaipo, and then to Beijing, all the way to catch the exam, in exchange for "overwhelming and generous."

  In March 1949, when the CPC Central Committee set off for Beijing from Xibaipo at the eastern foot of Taihang Mountain, Comrade Mao Zedong said: Today is the day to go to Beijing to catch the exam.

  In July 2013, the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader came to Xibaipo, standing at the height of history and times, and profoundly pointed out that the "rushing for exams" faced by the party is far from over.

  Taking the exam all the way is also exploring all the way. From a single spark to the potential to start a prairie fire, and then to the two answers of "cave question", the Communist Party of China (CPC) has developed into the largest Marxist ruling party in the world.

  "In the past 100 years, our party has been committed to the happiness of the people of China, the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, the progress of mankind, the harmony of the world, the public interest in the world, and the right path in the world. This is the greatest confidence of our party in its historical self-confidence. It is also the historical confidence of our party to unite and lead the people to move forward." At the end of 2021, the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee held a special democratic life meeting on the study and education of party history. The Supreme Leader General Secretary stressed, "Today, we can say that the Communist Party of China (CPC) has lived up to history and people’s choices."

  In the past 100 years, the party has handed over an excellent answer to the people and history. Now, with the unity of the Party, the people of China have embarked on a new road to achieve the goal of the second century of struggle.

  Pass the big exam: all our achievements have been made through the joint efforts of the party and the people.

  The great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation cannot be achieved easily by beating gongs and drums. Two angles provide us with an observation perspective.

  Space: Looking at the domestic general trend, China’s development faces new strategic opportunities, new strategic tasks, new strategic stages, new strategic requirements and new strategic environment, and the risks and challenges to be dealt with, contradictions and problems to be solved are more complicated than before. Looking at the international trend, the great changes that the world has never seen in a century have accelerated its evolution, and the characteristics of changes in the world, times and history are more obvious.

  Time: the five years since the 19 th National Congress of the Communist Party of China are extremely unusual and extraordinary; In the 10 years of the new era, the risk challenges we have encountered are high in wind and high in waves, sometimes even stormy waves, and various risk challenges come one after another, with unprecedented complexity and severity.

  COVID-19 epidemic is not only a crisis, but also a big test. We adhered to the principle of putting people first and life first, and carried out people’s war, general war and blocking war against the epidemic, which protected people’s life safety and health to the utmost extent, and made overall plans for economic development and epidemic prevention and control and achieved the best results in the world.

  Only a nation that can unite and struggle can have a future, and a political party that can unite and struggle can be invincible. The greatest happiness in the world is to strive for the happiness of the people. We strengthened our confidence, faced difficulties, fought one battle after another, and took one exam after another. All our achievements were made through the joint efforts of the Party and the people.

  On January 30th this year, General Secretary’s speech at the 2022 Spring Festival group meeting was inspiring: "As long as more than 1.4 billion people in China always hold hands and look forward to the future together, as long as more than 95 million people in the Communist Party of China (CPC) always look forward to the future together with the people’s hearts, we will certainly be able to continue to create amazing miracles on the new road of catching the exam."

  Facing the exam with confidence: The most fundamental thing is to do our own thing well.

  "Being safe without forgetting danger, being alive without forgetting death, and governing without forgetting chaos", our party was born out of internal and external troubles, grew up in hardships and setbacks, and grew stronger in overcoming risk challenges. It has always had a strong sense of hardship and risk, and always prepared for the exam with a sober and firm attitude and a rainy eye.

  "A hundred years of change, one thing comes out, one gray rhinoceros and one black swan." During the inspection tour in Hainan from April 10th to 13th this year, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader mentioned, "A revolutionary elder once said such a thing, &lsquo; Always uneasy &rsquo; . I listened to it very resonantly. "

  At the end of April, the General Secretary presided over the the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee meeting, which emphasized that leading cadres at all levels should have a sense of responsibility of "always worrying" in their work, take responsibility, be realistic and pragmatic, and prevent all kinds of "black swan" and "grey rhinoceros" incidents.

  Not sleepy lies in early consideration, not poor lies in early preparation.

  In January, 2019, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader analyzed the major risks in eight fields, such as politics, ideology, economy, economic and trade struggle with the United States, science and technology, society, foreign work and the Party itself, and put forward clear requirements at the opening ceremony of the special seminar for leading cadres at the provincial and ministerial levels.

  At the end of last year, at the Central Economic Work Conference, the General Secretary said earnestly: "I often sound the alarm. I am ringing the alarm bell to make everyone alert and be prepared for danger in times of peace. "

  See the micro-knowledge, prevent the micro-duration, understand the foresight of the "mast top", and show the foresight of governing the country.

  At this seminar, the general secretary stressed that the whole party must enhance its sense of hardship, adhere to the bottom line thinking, strengthen its will to fight, enhance its fighting skills, adapt to the situation with correct strategic strategies, cultivate new opportunities and open up new opportunities, and rely on tenacious struggle to open up a new world of career development. The most fundamental thing is to do our own thing well.

  Do your own thing well, go your own way, look forward to a new way to catch the exam, step on the rough road, fight hard and start again.

Retired Ma Yun went to participate in the African version of "Win in China"

This article comes from WeChat WeChat official account: 8-word intersection (id: crosseight), Author: Han Sai, original title: "Participate in the African version of" Win in China ",what did Ma Yun say? 》, the title map comes from: vision china

On November 16, 2019, local time, a TV studio in Accra, the capital of Ghana, an African country.

On the stage stood ten young people, men and women, black and white. Ten smiling and confident faces looked at the camera under the stage.

On the big screen behind them, a row of English is displayed:

Africa’s Business Heroes(African business hero)

Under the stage, four judges, three men and one woman, sat in danger.

Two Africans, respectively, are Zimbabwe’s telecom tycoon Straf Mahiywa.(Strive Masiyiwa)And Ibkun Awosika, a Nigerian female banker.(Ibukun Awosika).

Outstanding African entrepreneurs in these years.

The other two Asian faces are Cai Chongxin, executive vice chairman of Alibaba’s board of directors, and the one who just stepped down as chairman of Alibaba’s board of directors not long ago:

Ma yun

Ten young people are carefully selected from more than 10,000 entrepreneurs in more than 50 countries in Africa.

They need to tell their dreams in front of the camera, introduce their projects, and accept comments from four judges to compete for a total of $1 million in venture capital.

Ten years ago, a similar program in China was all the rage. It was called Win in China.

Ma Yun is also a judge.

01

The first one is a girl from Rwanda, Kevin Kejirimpudu.(Kevine Kagirimpundu).

Her entrepreneurial project is to make a pair of shoes worn by Rwandans.

The reason that prompted her to start this career was that walking in the streets of Rwanda, she often saw various shoe repair shops, but a large number of people were barefoot.

The reason behind this is that Rwanda’s light industry is very backward, and its shoes and socks are basically imported. Local shoe repairers can only repair shoes, and no one can make shoes.

After a long time, many local people go barefoot all the year round.

Discovering this market, she decided to teach herself and do it herself.

The first step is to search in Google:

How to make a pair of shoes?

According to the steps provided on the internet, Kevin began to practice his hands by using the existing materials at hand-discarded tires that can be seen everywhere on the streets of Rwanda. How to cut the sole, how to polish the leather, how to stick, and how to sew. ……

After several months of trying and consulting the shoe repairer repeatedly, she finally made the first pair of shoes and founded her own footwear brand, employing 70% female employees.

The raw materials she uses basically come from waste tires. This is also a practice of environmental protection.

Are you wearing shoes made by yourself now? Judge Straff asked suddenly.

Kevin standing on the stage directly took off his shoes and sent them to him barefoot.

Sure! You see, there is my company’s LOGO…… in it … I’m so embarrassed!

The audience burst into laughter, and Ma Yun sitting next to him also laughed.

This is far from his first contact with Africa and the young people here.

Two years ago, in 2017, Ma Yun gave a speech to thousands of young people in the university auditorium in Nairobi, Kenya.

In particular, he highlighted his failure to take the college entrance examination three times when he was young, and his failure to apply for a job 30 times to encourage young people to stick to their dreams.

In the cheers of the young people in the audience, Ma Yun said on the spot:

From now on, I will come to Africa every year and visit three African countries. I hope I can visit all 54 African countries in the next 10 to 15 years.

02

Vaccine promotion, agricultural technology, palm oil … One contestant after another came on stage to tell their dreams.

Their dreams are often linked to the suffering of the African continent.

In 1994, the biggest news that shocked the world came from Africa.

This year, a humanitarian disaster broke out in Rwanda, which is destined to be written into human history.

A few years ago, a civil war broke out between Hutu and Tutsi, two major ethnic groups in China, which killed more than 1 million people in just three months and wiped out one seventh of the country’s total population. Many Chinese have seen the film Hotel Rwanda.

Rwandan girl Kristel Quezela(Christelle Kwizera)I was born in this year. Fortunately, her home was far from the front line of the conflict and was not affected.

But for Rwandans, the massacre is only part of the disaster. Even if you get away with it, you need to face many challenges and death traps in your life.

The biggest threat comes from the water that everyone can’t live without every day.

In sub-Saharan African countries, almost all of them face the problem of water shortage because of drought. In fact, except for a few areas, most countries have rivers flowing through them, and water shortage is not serious.

What is really lacking is a safe water source that can be used.

In Africa, many deadly diseases, cholera, dysentery, typhoid fever or polio viruses are hidden in surface water, and a large number of people get sick and die after drinking unclean surface water every year.

Many years after the massacre, people in Rwanda are still dying all the time-just because of water.

Quezela’s childhood was full of experiences of fetching water again and again.

As long as she can remember, she and her mother walked to a water point more than ten miles away every day, carrying nearly 20 kilograms, ranging from five or six hours to more than ten hours.

It can be said that most of the labor force in the whole family only do one thing when they are alive: fetch water.

In Rwanda, only a few big cities have a tap water network, which can provide safe groundwater. The annual use price is about 500 dollars, which is about a quarter of the income of an ordinary person.

During her college years, Quezela studied mechanical engineering. After graduation, she founded Rwanda Water Resources Company.

Since 2014, Rwanda Water Resources Company has drilled wells and installed pipelines in more than 90 residential areas all over the country, and built hundreds of tap water networks.

Their price is one-third to one-fifth of the government water supply network.

Ma Yun comments:

Your biggest competitor should be the Rwandan government, because they have been actively promoting water supply construction in recent years.

Only if you are faster than them, provide better services and make your competitors worry about you, can your company continue to survive and grow in the future.

In March this year, after visiting Africa, Ma Yun established the Ma Yun African Youth Entrepreneurship Fund with a total amount of 10 million US dollars.

This fund will spend 1 million yuan each year to support entrepreneurs in the next ten years.

The "African Business Heroes" to be broadcast on major TV stations is the first.

03

In 2009, Temi Jiwatobson, a Nigerian girl studying in the United States.(Temie Giwa-Tubosun)I signed up for an internship program and returned to Nigeria to participate in medical volunteer activities.

In her hometown, Tammy witnessed a scene that she will never forget in her life. A pregnant woman suffered from dystocia that lasted for three days.

Although the doctors and nurses tried their best to rescue them, they failed to recover them. The mother eventually bled heavily, resulting in the death of the baby.

To save the baby’s life, only an ordinary caesarean section is needed, or timely and sufficient blood supply is needed.

It looks like a common condition, but it is almost impossible in Nigeria.

Nigeria is the largest oil producer in Africa, selling oil to Britain, the United States, China and Japan. However, in the World Health Organization’s ranking of public health conditions, it ranks 187th in the world, ranking fourth from the bottom.

In Nigeria, local couples have an average of 5-8 children, with 814 deaths per 100,000 births. The main cause of death is postpartum hemorrhage.

Five years later, Tammy had her own family, was pregnant with a son, and also suffered from dystocia and bleeding during childbirth.

After a day’s struggle with fate, she has no strength, thinking about whether the fate of that pregnant woman will repeat itself on herself.

Fortunately, she has returned to America. The doctor gave her a blood transfusion easily and performed a caesarean section, saving the lives of mother and son.

After that, Temi, who returned to Nigeria, found:

This country is not short of blood, but information.

Because the information is not interoperable, some hospitals or blood stations store blood that has expired and thrown away, and some places have no blood available. The core issues are information and logistics.

In 2015, she founded a "life bank" based on this idea.(Lifebank)To build the largest virtual blood bank in Nigeria.

On the platform of Life Bank, the real-time reserve information of 60 large hospitals and blood banks in China is collected. Hospitals and patients can timely inquire about the nearest blood bank, the reserves of blood of different blood types and blood products, and make reservations at the first time.

Life bank, which provides information and blood distribution services, charges a service fee ranging from 10 to 50 dollars each time.

At first, motorcycles that can walk freely in the streets and lanes and speedboats that cross urban rivers were used to transport blood, and then drones were used.

Since its establishment four years ago, Life Bank has saved the lives of 5,300 Nigerians with its 7×24-hour service.

Temi said that her dream is not only the $20 million blood supply market in Africa, but also the $30 billion African medical market. In addition to transporting blood, Life Bank can also try to transport oxygen, medical equipment, vaccines and other medical supplies urgently needed in Africa.

Ibkun, a female banker familiar with Nigeria’s predicament, spoke highly of this project:

You can’t expand too fast. The market in Nigeria is huge, and your products are related to people’s lives. This sensitivity is bound to require you to be cautious in your business.

Ma spoke, serious, dry goods:

First, global vision, local success. Blood supply is enough, don’t think about anything else.

Second, it’s useless to take away ppt and show the future figures. It doesn’t matter how big the market is. Most entrepreneurs say how big the market is. The market has 10 thousand yuan, but you only earn five yuan. What’s the use?

I don’t like ppt. Your expected data in the future is very vague. Only the specific figures at present can reflect your achievements.

This is not the first time Ma Yun talked about blood in Africa.

He said something like this:

Africa needs hematopoiesis, not blood transfusion. Countries that give more money and children who give more money can’t make a difference.

What we have to do in the end is to support young people in Africa and make them change.

I hope that in the next 20 years, Africa will have at least 100 Alibaba and 1,000 Ma Yun.

During Ma Yun’s trip to Africa, an official of China’s local embassy also used a similar metaphor in his speech:

What about Africa? Ma Yun brought the answer.

One is environmental protection, and the other is the activities of Ma Yun Africa Venture Fund, which stimulates Africa’s endogenous motivation and cultivates local entrepreneurs.

Money can only be given for blood transfusion, and now it is for Africa to make its own blood.

04

Coming to this final, there are also African entrepreneurial projects created by copying the China model.

Walid Rahman, a young man from Cairo, Egypt, told a beautiful story. His project is to make an African version of Hungry.

According to him, in Egypt, more than 35% of the population and nearly 19 million Egyptians are obese. Among them, 3.6 million children are seriously overweight, but another 900,000 children suffer from anemia.

Therefore, his goal is to provide Egyptians with cheap and nutritious food and stay away from junk food.

In 2015, his online ordering platform "Mom" was launched in Cairo, employing all kinds of housewives and using the family kitchen to make food.

Users only need to pay a monthly membership fee of $9 to become members and enjoy free delivery service.

However, the reality is very skinny. In four years, Walid only attracted 7,000 users to register, and the number of orders per year was about 40,000.

Before the total population of 22.8 million in Cairo, this figure seemed to have little influence.

In contrast, China’s Hungry occupied Shanghai Jiaotong University with more than 20,000 people in the first year, and covered all of Shanghai in the second year, with more than 10,000 cooperative restaurants.

For this project that talks too much about ideas, judge Straff gave severe criticism:

I thought your scale was not good at first, but now I find there is something wrong with your figures.

When you introduce your project, you always emphasize nutrition, but it is often children who need to consider nutrition, and adults don’t have time to take care of so many nutrition problems.

You only cook so-called nutritious meals. How competitive can you be in front of Uber Eat (a takeaway service launched by Uber)?

For this project, Ma Yun pointed to the crux of the problem:

It is not a good idea to start a business, which is packaged with too many ideas and stories and lacks a business model.

Make the enterprise bigger first, and then talk about nutrition.

What an entrepreneur should do is to try to make things simple and not to put lipstick on monkeys.

The last project on stage has two CEOs. One speaks on the stage and the other sits under the stage.

Of the two people, one is good at operation and the other is good at financing strategy, so their work is generally mixed up, and whoever does it will do it. Their employees also report to both sides respectively.

A judge asked him why he didn’t come to the stage, and the CEO who came to the stage replied: His eloquence is not good, so I will speak out.

Ma Yun comments:

I had 18 founders and 20-30 businesses. It is impossible to have 20-30 CEOs. Why are there two CEOs? Four CTOs can do it, but two CEOs can’t.

A person has only one heart, so he can’t report his nose to his brain and his eyes to his heart.

Full house laughing and clapping.

After deliberation, four judges named the top three "African business heroes", and Temi, the founder of Life Bank, won the championship.

She will receive a prize of $250,000. Others share the remaining 750,000 in different amounts.

05

This time I went to Africa, Ma Yun was very busy.

In addition to participating in the "African Business Heroes", he also awarded prizes to the rangers who protected nature and animals, and visited many countries, running up to three times a day.

In every country, he was warmly received by the head of state of that country and was asked a question at the same time:

How can Africa learn from China better?

Ma Yun said to the young African people at the scene:

Seeing you is like seeing myself 20 years ago.

I tried to go to Silicon Valley for financing, and I hit a wall again and again. Because no one believes that the Internet in China will develop, and no one believes in China, because we have no credit cards and no logistics.

But because of this, there are opportunities for us entrepreneurs.

If China has everything, what else do we need?

In the past two months, Ma Yun has not been idle, even busier than before.

His schedule is full of public welfare, education, environmental protection, encouraging entrepreneurship and cultivating female leadership …

Africa is also a very important part of it.

He said:

People often ask me why China’s institutions want to protect African animals, and I want to say, why not China?

China and Africa, we live on the same earth, and we only have this earth. If the earth is sick, no one will be healthy.

Africa is a land of hope. Seeing African entrepreneurs, I feel like I saw myself 20 years ago.

Professor Tsinghua used physics to find the "problem" of the national football team.

  Can be called "the first sport in the world", and the culture of football is profound.

  According to Ge Weikun, a professor in Tsinghua University, this is exactly what China football lacks most.

  At a speech meeting a few days ago, the old professor who studied physics unexpectedly talked about football and listed a lot of physical knowledge in football, which attracted the attention of many fans for a while.

  As for China football, he once organized football matches for Chinese and foreign students overseas and led the team to win the championship. He put forward his own suggestions, "What we lack is football culture. Sending dozens of people out like the Jianlibao team can’t solve the problem. "

  Physics professor studies football? You really have a doorway

  As a senior physics professor in Tsinghua University, another identity of Ge Weikun is a fan.

  It seems that the two fields have no intersection, but in fact they are inextricably linked.

  As early as 2014, together with professors from other schools, he produced an open online video course called "Football and Science", and many people signed up for classes every year.

  "Up to now, there are about 30,000 people who have participated." He told the The Paper reporter. At present, he is still working on compiling this video course into a book.

  What made Professor Ge popular on the Internet was his knowledge of physics in football mentioned in a speech a few days ago, which was quite refreshing for fans who were used to tactical analysis.

  And this knowledge comes from the courses he made before.

  For example, why can Beckham’s banana ball "turn" the goal in a strange arc? In fact, it is because the rotating sphere is deflected by Magnus’ law in flight.

  If you want to kick the "elevator ball" that suddenly falls, according to the parabola obtained by physical calculation, you need to make the ball have a high initial speed without rotating.

  According to Ge Weikun, overseas, scholars have studied the science of football as early as ten years ago.

  The relationship between the speed and angle of the interceptors in the middle of the interception, the average contact time of each person in a football match, the distance from the penalty to the goal and the goal rate &hellip; &hellip; All kinds of seemingly "unremarkable" data have actually been carefully studied.

  Theory guides practice, and players can’t be "unlearned"

  Perhaps in the eyes of fans, these academic football physics studies are not far from the actual playing &mdash; &mdash; After all, no one will measure the angle of the defender when passing the ball and then decide the passing strength.

  But for players, these studies still have positive significance.

  "In fact, the main purpose of (these studies) is to give a physical explanation of some phenomena in football, so as to give the technical essentials. When we understand the principle, we can know how to kick. " Ge Weikun said in an interview with The Paper.

  "For example &lsquo; Elevator ball &rsquo; , it is necessary to (let the ball) not turn, to have a high initial velocity, you need a strong calf strength. Kick &lsquo; Banana ball &rsquo; , it is necessary to touch the ball on the inside of the foot to increase the friction time of the ball. Players are not required to know physics, but this is a scientific method. If the coach saw it, it should be helpful. "

  In fact, for football, Professor Ge is really not "an armchair strategist".

  Previously, he studied and taught overseas and lived for more than 20 years. In Britain, he played futsal with the local people, and in the United States and China, he organized a student football team to coach himself.

  When he was in the United States, he participated in the organization of the first invitational tournament for Chinese and American student teams, and as a result, his team defeated Yale University 1-0 and won the championship.

  In Ge Weikun’s view, football emphasizes teamwork and is definitely a sport that needs high IQ.

  As for the cultural training of athletes, there is still room for improvement in China football.

  "I think we may be right &lsquo; Football should start with dolls &rsquo; This sentence is misunderstood, which does not mean that children should play football all the time. Coach Jin Zhiyang told me that 90% of the young players can’t enter the professional team, and they have no education and a bad future. In the end, parents dare not let their children play football, which leads to worse and worse football in China. "

  "Japanese coach takeshi okada also said that China’s young players have insufficient cultural education and logical thinking ability. It’s ok to play football, but when you become a coach in the future, it will be insufficient, which will lead to worse teaching. "

  Football in China is still "unhealthy".

  Although he is over 70 years old, Ge Weikun is still full of interest in football. He is a professor of physics and a member of Tsinghua University Football Research Center. He can even try his hand on the football field.

  Like all China fans, he is also looking forward to the rise of football in China, but he has no secret about the problem of football in China.

  "Football should be a pyramid. It is not enough to look at the spire. Sending dozens of people out like the Jianlibao team can’t solve the problem. (Still depends on) the campus football that is widely carried out now. "

  In the process of living overseas, he has seen the profundity of local football culture, and China football, as the Italian marshal Cannavaro said, lacks most not money, but football culture and tradition.

  "For example, in Germany, football has become a part of their culture, just like their music. There are many old people singing very well near the church there. On weekends, I don’t know how many football matches there are. "

  "In China, football clubs are the names of enterprises, while club names in Britain are place names with strong local awareness. For example, Manchester City, when they were not as powerful as they are now, still has a large number of diehard fans. (Fans) will not only look at the team’s achievements, but also support them even if they are relegated to the second, third and fourth leagues. "

  Nowadays, many measures have been taken to popularize football culture in China, such as promoting campus football and social football, and increasing the number of stadium facilities. In Ge Weikun’s view, these are all positive signals.

  However, at the moment, Professor Ge also said, "The commercial flavor of the Super League is too strong, and some of them are not healthy. Football should have a higher value than business. "

June net text book list | Daily dog food, fierce medicine to save the book shortage

[Editor’s note]Through the superficial phenomenon of "little white" in online literature, many works with equal emphasis on entertainment and ideology have been born. This book list will introduce a more diverse online world, from the unpopular to the popular, from the small crowd to the public, and those outstanding works of various types.

Uneasy Daily Lazy Angel

Comprehensive daily city youth

The story tells the story of the protagonist of the fun man, as a social terrorist, who engages in daily activities in the world of spring things. The story line is mainly about spring things, including bunnies and ice cakes, and there are some super-power elements (not many), which are unique in the development of the original work. Through the protagonist’s epileptic behavior, he psychologically persecutes all the cartoon characters and promotes the emotional progress of the characters.

The protagonist’s personal design should be the biggest highlight of the novel. The whole process is full of joy, self-release, willingness to spoof, epilepsy but not infatuation, and constant coquettish operation. It is like a social terrorist to solve the problems and contradictions between the original characters and solve others. It can be called a blow to reduce the dimension.

The controversy lies in: the background setting of the same person and the integration of a large number of secondary elements in the writing set a high reading threshold to some extent. If you don’t have a certain understanding of the secondary elements, it seems that you will still be confused.

The recommendation index, from three stars to five stars, is recommended to book lovers who like fun, have requirements for writing, like daily plots and don’t dislike two-dimensional light novels. From the feedback point of view, two-dimensional readers must see it, and non-two-dimensional readers are also worth a try. There are many fragrant parties. After all, there is no lack of such feedback: "Even people who don’t know who the original male owner of Spring Things is can enjoy it with relish", and it’s really the whole journey if they can get the radio waves.

"The King" New Sea Moon 1

Low Magic and Western Fantasy, Lord Farming, Ancient Morning Wind and Bai Shuangwen

The background is the sword and magic version of the coexistence of all ethnic groups in the Middle Ages. The protagonist dressed as the second son of a noble, obtained the qualification of counterinsurgency with excellent negotiation skills and social skills, became a baron of fiefs in the war, embarked on the road of land reclamation for hegemony by the lords, struck a balance among the nobles, exerted great tricks, constantly made achievements, and integrated many elements, writing the feeling of gradual upgrading and step by step.

The setting and the plot are as ancient as the wind, and the words are humorous and not bitter. The author has his own understanding of the interests of western nobles. The description of the background of medieval rules and the struggle of aristocratic tactics (intrigue) with sophisticated human feelings are the highlights. The descriptions among the nobles are relatively real, and the leading and supporting actors have their own set of behavioral logic, which truly describes the shameless and brutal of the nobles. The feeling is the infighting, lords disputes and kings in the Middle Ages.

The problem is that the style of writing is dry, the words are not fastidious or fantastic, the description of characters is big and empty, the description of war is broken down, the setting of fantasy part is very old-fashioned (dreaming back twenty years ago, you dare to believe in quarrelling), the stitching is also very general, neither fish nor fowl, the space of tactics part is more, a lot of space is used to play Tai Chi with politicians, and the tension of plot is mostly described by the language of characters, which is monotonous and mediocre, some take it for granted, lacking rationality and reality.

Recommended index, 2.5 stars to 4.5 stars, should not expect too much, no poison is not recommended to read. Finally, I want to emphasize this sentence. The controversial book with constant heat must be worth a try.

"Firepower is king" is like water.

In recent years, the rare high-level urban mercenary military literature monthly good review book

Gao Guang, the protagonist, is a military fan who practiced martial arts since childhood, majoring in foreign languages at the university. He was kidnapped by drug dealers when traveling to Mexico. In order to survive, he fought against his opponent, cooperated with mercenaries who happened to rescue hostages, started to get in touch with all kinds of firearms, and set foot on the journey of legal mercenaries (private military contractors) based in beautiful countries. From then on, he began to experience the flames of war, sell information, participate in wars and devote himself to providing war-related peripheral services.

The language is simple, the leading role and supporting role are flesh and blood, the team plot is very happy, the task plot is tense and exciting, and it is clean and vivid. The description of the battlefield is incisive and interspersed with well-informed military knowledge and popular science. Compared with the previous plot that focuses on fighting, there are many more political and conspiracy developments, and the writing style has been greatly improved.

It should be noted that there is little difference between the protagonist template and the previous work. From the previous work, the daily plot is a sub-item, and the emotional drama is also a sub-item. However, if you look at the military literature, these issues are not the focus.

Recommended index, three to four stars. Many book lovers think that this is the author’s work to return to the peak, and the theme is rare. It is suitable for book lovers who are tired of watching Xianxia fantasy and Dihua simulator, for a change and to find feelings.

Henghua is bright and bright.

Family immortal writing

The protagonist is dressed as a member of the family of cultivating immortals, just as the family’s bodhi old zu has not yet broken through, with only ten years left. The surrounding forces are eyeing up and the family is tottering. Fortunately, the protagonist is born with wisdom and amazing understanding, and is good at deducing the family’s achievement methods, so he becomes the family’s acting master, responsible for deducing the family’s achievement methods, helping people tailor-made personalized achievement methods suitable for personal physique, and assisting his grandfather to create suitable Yuan Ying achievement methods, which is similar to that of coaches to athletes.

The style is fresh and the setting is interesting. The protagonist has a partial counselor’s wits, and the Golden Finger is a step-by-step self-created achievement method based on the cultivation formula in the last The Journey to the West. The family atmosphere belongs to unity and friendship, and the writing style and world outlook are somewhat similar to tahoe’s Ming Zun. The theoretical system is relatively complete, and it is not a kind of underworld cultivation. At the end of the chapter, the author will summarize the plot content of this paragraph by means of history books, which is well received.

Controversy lies in the fact that the plot is well-behaved, everyday dull, multi-line, messy and sloppy, the writing ink, the description of the fight is dry, the overall cool point is insufficient, and the plot is particularly jumping. One second it is still saying A, and the next second it is already saying D, and it is easy to lose key information with ten lines.

Recommended index, three to four stars. If you like tahoe, it is worth a try. For me, the biggest attraction is the fresh style, interesting settings and all kinds of strange spells, which makes my setting party very satisfied.

"The Rise of House" Hushan Small Farmers

Fairy Tales, Urban Fantasy, Leisure, Wind and Buddhism, Farming Literature

I don’t know if there are any old book lovers who remember this 16-year-old house masterpiece. The whole plot idea is very different, which can be said to be incompatible with the mainstream online text upgraded to the core. The protagonist is bent on staying at home as a salted fish, with no dreams and no goals, which is very consistent with the current feeling of lying flat. It took a little fire for a while, but it passed like a meteor, and the subsequent works have no such influence.

The hero of the otaku who returned to his hometown woke up to the power of seeing the second dimension, and was able to transform the comic books and movies in the second dimension into the third dimension. So he planted a lovely Macey person, brushed tasks, collected materials, and built an animation comic game studio necessary for otaku. From time to time, he went out to take a risk with the villain of the second dimension, steadily developed farming, developed his own second dimension village, and gradually became the king in his own small world, with a sense of little luck.

Generally speaking, it is a kind of house-writing with no house smell, which is leisurely and interesting, not monotonous, unique in style, and the cool point of the protagonist is different from that of the public. The kind of one who enjoys himself does not pursue the sage before others, sticks to his own local world, and pays attention to his own happiness is the most important.

It should be noted that the whole is not cool in the usual sense, but rather self-satisfied in the later period, and there is not much cool point in business, or it is not refreshing enough. There is no in-depth development of business lines related to games and animation in the works.

Recommended index, three stars to four stars, book lovers who want to see the upgraded works had better be cautious.

Frank, the handsome dog in Dawn Trail of Beautiful World

Meiman infinite flow

With the proficiency system, the protagonist crossed the beautiful world and dressed as a minion of the DC Gotham villain organization. He wanted to jump ship to Batman but mistakenly entered the evil organization (Stars Club), and was forced to pick up garbage in the HP world where the doomsday collapsed. Fortunately, knowing the relationship between the characters, the captain died, and successfully got rid of the control of the cat hunters by using the ability of the golden finger. Later, in order to stop the doomsday, he led the team to shuttle through the world, recruiting and constantly backstab.

The novel is a multi-universe worldview based on beauty, with infinite flow elements, the copy is mainly in the western fantasy world, mixed with behind-the-scenes story puzzles. The main world is Batman, the protagonist is neutral in order, kind to decency and evil to villains. The author has his own understanding of big events, and does not copy comic books. The interaction of each world has its own characteristics, the main line is clear and not procrastinating, and the small subplots are also touching, so the deduction is reasonable.

It should be noted that as a beautiful fan, it is not qualified. Basically, the popular characters are background boards. There is no sense of surprise in writing a large section about the struggle between the protagonist and the original villain. The update is fast, which leads to a rough plot (insufficient details), many loopholes, and a mix of multi-world systems. The level is slightly chaotic, and there are disputes with some female characters’ ambiguous plots, but the conclusion is still decisive and the landing is relatively smooth.

The recommendation index is three stars. On the whole, it has outstanding advantages and disadvantages, and it is worth a try. In the words of book lovers, "The audience and the previous wow should be highly consistent, the game is beautiful, there will be no obstacles to understanding, and the setting is old, but it is very capable."

"Unemployment at the beginning, I let the singer return" Cheng Yanqiu

Entertainment circle daily copy class

When the mood swings violently, there will be corresponding music works played on the earth, but only the female host can hear it. The female host, who was originally a minority singer, became attached to the male host on campus because of her songs, so she took the initiative to chase after her brother and sister, and finally came together. Because of these songs from the earth, she became a legend in the music world.

From the perspective of novel career line, it is a literary copying type. First, the female protagonist becomes a legend in the field of music. While the male protagonist gives her assistance, she copies novels, plans, advertisements, plays and other multi-line developments, while the female protagonist provides financial support for the male protagonist’s career. The whole description is warm and smooth, and there is no particularly fierce conflict. Both the development of love and friendship are written naturally and healthily.

It should be noted that: "the female host feels a little far-fetched in explaining the origin of the work to the male host, and tells the male host that it is a song sung by the male host when he is asleep;" Secondly, the male owner’s career line has a large span, many threads, and the overall idealization, which makes it look very fragmented and relatively scattered. Many plots appear to be mentally retarded. Of course, it doesn’t matter if you come to the dog food. By the way, the man was only a freshman when he first wore it, and he passed through the woman who met five years later, so he was naive and mature. "

Recommended index, 3.5 stars to 4.5 stars. Sincere and plain, very harmonious, there is an indescribable sweetness, which is suitable for reading when you want to relax. Children’s shoes like "This star comes from the earth" and "The actor has no holiday" can be tried.

Lost moral integrity in Abnormal Ji

Wuxia Kesulu

The new book "Portrait of the Mask" and "Beyond the Burning Burnt" by the author is an old author in the late stage of Wenqing Cancer. The style is unique, and the whole protagonist is neurotic and brainwave. It can be said that they are all crazy people, and they love to let go of themselves. It may be that the sentence "Extraordinary people do extraordinary things" should be answered. The plot trend never avoids the minefield of online writing, such as the death of the hostess and seeing her off.

This time, it can be regarded as a martial arts fantasy version of "Portrait of the Mask", which continues the world outlook of maggots and flies, ghosts and immortals, and degenerate songs. The protagonist is a perverted martial artist, and because he is in a state of immortality at a price, he needs to forget martial arts to maintain immortality. In order to obtain martial arts, he is all kinds of grovelling, talking with rainbow farts, full of flattery, and playing the clown. As the saying goes,

It should be noted that after marriage, the author has converged a lot, with less crazy content, less hair knives, less toxic points, and no change of mistress in the middle. He poured water into the plot crazily, so that he can read it. In the words of book lovers, "The highlight of his book has always been the protagonist’s dressing up as a pig to eat a tiger, but there is no feeling of pretending at all. On the contrary, there is a little meaning that others laugh at me for being too crazy and I can’t wear it."

Recommended index, two stars to 4.5 stars. If you have a serious book shortage and are tired of reading online routines, you need strong medicine to save the book shortage cancer. You can also try to fight poison with poison and cure cancer with cancer.

Far pupil of Deep Sea embers

Mysterious Epic Works of 2022

Similar to the water world after the end of the dark sea, the world is destroyed and the old days are gone. The remaining human beings live on scattered islands and communicate by ships. The protagonist of a middle school teacher wakes up one night dressed as a ghost captain, and inherits a small part of his original memory. His body is similar to an evil spirit. He can take risks by randomly attaching himself to human beings through consciousness projection and explore the truth of this strange world.

The style of writing is relaxed and humorous, interspersed with various interesting stalks, the style of painting is quite smooth, the story unfolds and the bedding is set, with a secret sense of coolness, the world outlook is as grand as ever and full of suspense, the elements are complete, the dull sea, Cthulhu and so on are basically a little bit, and the techniques of Dihua flow are integrated. Through the protagonist’s exploration experience, the world structure, from the ocean to the polis, from reality to the spiritual world, is slowly unveiled like a curtain, with a sense of suspense.

The overall background setting is rich, the plot is compact, and the adventure wind is quite strong. Although it is of a patriarchal style, it does not suppress the gloom. The author uses humorous writing style to hedge the cruel reality of the world in the book. There is not much innovation in characterization, but it still gives strength. The combination of frighteners captain and garbage-talking Gothic doll miss and noisy tool, Mountain Sheep Head, looks interesting. In the words of book lovers: "This is a boundless sea adventure full of love and courage, warmth and laughter."

It should be noted that the controversial points come down in one continuous line with the previous works, and the homogenization of characters and the animation of words and deeds are the biggest persuasion points for readers who don’t like the second-generation style. If it is changed to pure western fantasy, it will be more pleasing to the Chinese, the old and the white. Secondly, the plot is slow and hot. Although the opening has consciously accelerated the pace, the story is still slightly slow and hot, giving people a feeling of water and needing some patience.

Recommended index, four to five stars. It can be said that the progress of Yuantong is very obvious, and all levels are surpassing the previous work. However, this book is even more tiring, and it is suitable for saving dozens of chapters to read together. If you read it once a month, you can borrow the words of book lovers: "The painting style of Cthulhu and Xiling has completed a historic meeting."
