　　On the journey of winning the victory in building a well-off society in an all-round way and winning the great victory of Socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era, this moment is undoubtedly of symbolic historical significance — —

　　On the morning of October 25, 2017, the Great Hall of the People in Beijing.

　　The First Plenary Session of the 19th CPC Central Committee elected the 19th the Political Bureau of the Central Committee composed of 25 members, and elected the supreme leader, Li Keqiang, Li Zhanshu, Wang Yang, Wang Huning, Zhao Leji and Han Zheng as The Politburo Standing Committee (PSC) and the supreme leader as the general secretary of the Central Committee. Passed the members of the Central Secretariat; Decided the composition of the Central Military Commission (CMC); Approved the leading body elected by the first plenary session of the 19 th Central Commission for Discipline Inspection.

　　This is the guide of more than 89 million people in party member, and it is the backbone of more than 1.3 billion people.

　　Do not forget your initiative mind, keep moving! The new CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core will lead China and set sail again.

　　Look at the main peak with majestic mountains.

　　— — On the new journey of strengthening the country and the army, at the critical juncture of national rejuvenation, it is the aspiration of the party and the people to establish the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader as the core of the CPC Central Committee and the whole party, and to establish Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought of the Supreme Leader in the new era as the party’s guiding ideology.

　　In a magnificent era, there are bound to be moments of stirring people’s hearts.

　　A year ago, in the golden autumn of Beijing, the Sixth Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee established the core position of the Supreme Leader General Secretary in the CPC Central Committee and the whole party, and the thunderous clapping sound of the Great Hall of the People was still in my ears.

　　This is the heartfelt reverence and love of all party comrades, and this is the emotional recognition of hundreds of millions of people pursuing their dreams.

　　Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core has faced difficulties, forged ahead, made historic achievements in reform, opening up and socialist modernization, and promoted historic changes in the cause of the party and the state:

　　Great achievements have been made in economic construction, major breakthroughs have been made in comprehensively deepening reform, great strides have been made in building democracy and the rule of law, great progress has been made in ideological and cultural construction, people’s lives have been continuously improved, remarkable achievements have been made in building ecological civilization, strengthening the army and opening up a new situation, new progress has been made in the work of Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, all-round diplomatic layout has been carried out in depth, and remarkable results have been achieved in comprehensively administering the party strictly … …

　　The achievements in the past five years are all-round and groundbreaking, and the changes in the past five years are deep-seated and fundamental. Socialism with Chinese characteristics has entered a new era.

　　New practice breeds new ideas. On the basis of adhering to the basic principles of Marxism, the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core creatively adhered to and developed scientific socialism, opened up a new realm of the development of Marxism in China in the 21st century, and created the Supreme Leader’s New Era Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought.

　　Do great things, solve difficult problems, turn the tide and start a new game.

　　Carrying out great struggles, building great projects, advancing great undertakings and realizing great dreams, a series of great practices and theoretical innovations have poured into the ideals and beliefs of the Communist Party of China (CPC) people and people’s feelings, demonstrated the political courage and responsibility of the CPC Central Committee, and demonstrated the great talent and leadership style of the Supreme Leader General Secretary. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader made great efforts to turn the tide, made overall plans for internal affairs, foreign affairs and national defense, and led the party, state and army in running the country. He spared no pains for the long-term stability of the party and the country and won the party’s heart, military heart and popular support. He is a well-deserved strong core of the Communist Party of China (CPC) in the new era.

　　In the election of the Party’s 19th National Congress, the Supreme Leader was unanimously elected. When the members of the 19th Central Committee were elected, the supreme leader was unanimously elected. When the first plenary session of the 19th Central Committee elected the new central collective leadership, the supreme leader comrade was unanimously elected as the general secretary of the Central Committee again. Thunderous applause rang again and again, and it lasted for a long time … …

　　One vote represents the party’s heart and public opinion, and applause conveys trust expectations again and again — — It is the great fortune of the party, the army and the people to have the Supreme Leader General Secretary as the core of the party, the commander-in-chief of the army and the leader of the people! It is the hope, strength and victory to realize the goal of "two hundred years", the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation and the people’s yearning for a better life!

　　Marked by the victory of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, China entered the historical intersection of the goal of "two hundred years" — —

　　By 2020, it is necessary to build a well-off society in an all-round way and achieve the goal of the first century, but also to take advantage of the situation to start a new journey of building a socialist modern country in an all-round way and March towards the goal of the second century.

　　At the same time, the situation at home and abroad is undergoing profound and complex changes, and China’s development is still in an important period of strategic opportunities, with bright prospects and severe challenges. Facing difficulties, carrying out great struggles with many new historical characteristics, and taking a good long March in the new era, the party’s leadership is crucial, and the leadership core is particularly important.

　　The cross-flow of the sea shows the mainstay, and the mountains are majestic to see the main peak.

　　In this critical period of connecting the past with the future, the whole party, the whole army and the people of all nationalities in the country have a common expectation, that is, they hope to elect a good central leadership collective, and under the leadership of the Supreme Leader General Secretary, continue to consolidate achievements, overcome difficulties and forge ahead bravely, and write a magnificent chapter in the new journey of socialist modernization.

　　Qian Qiu Wei ye ju ying Cai

　　— — Focusing on the cause of the party and the long-term prosperity of the country, the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core has made overall plans for the nomination of candidates for the new central leading bodies.

　　The key to the great cause of the Millennium lies in people. The key to governing the country lies in employing people.

　　The new era calls for a new strong collective leadership.

　　How to produce a new central collective leadership with the Supreme Leader General Secretary as the core and lead China into the future is expected by the whole party, concerned by the whole people and attracted worldwide attention.

　　Party constitution stipulates that the Political Bureau of the Central Committee, Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and the General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Party shall be elected by the plenary session of the Central Committee.

　　According to this provision, the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China will elect a new Central Committee and the 1st Plenary Session of the 19th Central Committee will elect a new central leading body.

　　In this regard, the CPC Central Committee attaches great importance to it.

　　General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out that our party is a big party with more than 89 million people in party member. Being in power in a big country with a population of more than one billion, it has a heavy burden and great responsibility on its shoulders, and it is necessary to form a central leading collective that is politically firm, united, strong and energetic.

　　Under the overall planning of the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core, the nomination of candidates for the new central leading bodies has been carried out in an orderly manner … …

　　From the beginning of 2017, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader listened carefully to Comrade The Politburo Standing Committee (PSC)’s opinions on how to prepare the candidates for the new central leadership.

　　It is unanimously agreed that, on the basis of summing up the relevant practices of the 16th, 17th and 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, and drawing lessons from the practices and experience of the 19th "two committees" candidates and the inspection work of provincial party committees, we should take the form of talk and investigation to listen to recommendations and suggestions face to face in a certain range on the candidates for the new the Political Bureau of the Central Committee, the Standing Committee and the Secretariat, the candidates for the Central Military Commission, the candidates for leading members in the State Council who need to be considered as a whole, and the newly promoted candidates in the National People’s Congress and Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference Party.

　　On April 24, 2017, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader presided over the The Politburo Standing Committee (PSC) meeting to conduct special research, and discussed and adopted the Arrangement Plan for Talks and Research on the Brewing of Candidates for the 19th Central Leading Body. Conversation, investigation and candidate preparation are conducted under the direct leadership of the Supreme Leader General Secretary. Mainly follow the following principles:

　　— — Focus on promoting the overall layout of the "five in one" and coordinating the promotion of the "four comprehensive" strategic layout, implement the new development concept, build a well-off society in an all-round way, and constantly promote the development of Socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era; Focus on improving the party’s leadership level and ruling ability, maintaining and developing the party’s advanced nature and purity, promoting the modernization of the national governance system and governance ability, and consolidating the party’s ruling position; Focus on the successors and prosperity of the party’s cause, and ensure the long-term stability of the party and the country.

　　— — Adhere to the standards of politicians’ groups, adhere to all corners of the country, appoint people on their merits, adhere to both ability and political integrity, put morality first, put career first, be fair and upright, strictly control politics and integrity, and select and employ people accurately and scientifically.

　　— — We will further improve and perfect the mechanism for the generation of party and state leaders, and actively and steadily promote the replacement of old and new leaders at the top of the party and state.

　　— — Adhere to the principle that the Party is in charge of cadres, implement democratic centralism, give full play to inner-party democracy, and improve the quality and effectiveness of democracy. Talk and research focus on brainstorming and unified understanding, without limiting the number of recommendations, and the number of recommended votes is used as a reference, not taking people by votes. According to the requirements of cadres’ conditions, consistent performance and team structure, we will study and propose candidates for the new central leading bodies.

　　The selection scheme for the new Central Military Commission should emphasize the adherence to political standards, focus on preparing for war, optimize the structural layout, and pay attention to the echelon allocation of the old, middle-aged and young.

　　According to these principles, the Central Committee has put forward the conditions for recommending candidates:

　　— — Loyalty to the Party, firm belief, firm establishment of "four consciousnesses" and "four self-confidences", firm implementation of Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought of the Supreme Leader in the new era, and high consistency with the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core, are qualified Marxist politicians.

　　— — Strong leadership, rich practical experience, strong revolutionary dedication, spirit of reform and innovation and seeking truth from facts, courage to take responsibility, correct outlook on political achievements and outstanding work performance.

　　— — Take the lead in implementing democratic centralism, consciously safeguard the authority and centralized and unified leadership of the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core, be good at uniting comrades, be fair and upright, and be broad-minded.

　　— — Have the world outlook, outlook on life and values of communist party people, take the lead in adhering to principles, take the lead in observing the party’s discipline and rules, have a good style, be honest and upright, and have a high prestige and a good image inside and outside the party.

　　Referring to the previous practice, according to the needs of the development of the cause of the party and the state and the reality of the construction of the central leading body, the central government also put forward clear requirements on the scope, age and structure of the recommended candidates.

　　Everyone agrees that the Central Committee’s principles on the preparation of candidates for the new central leading bodies are scientific and reasonable, the standard conditions for recommending candidates are clear and definite, and the recommended scope, age and structure requirements are in line with reality, which reflects the foresight of the CPC Central Committee.

　　Democratic science condenses consensus

　　— — A series of new ways and measures have been adopted in the selection of candidates for the new central leading bodies, which embodies the new mechanism and orientation of selecting and employing people and shows the new style and image of the party.

　　In late May 2017, a leading cadre at the provincial and ministerial level was informed to come to Beijing to participate in the organization talk.

　　The meeting place is arranged in Zhongnanhai. As soon as I arrived in the waiting room, three materials were already on the table — — Relevant Arrangements of Conversation and Investigation, Roster of Current Party and State Leaders party member and Roster of Leading Cadres at Provincial and Ministerial Level in party member.

　　According to the working procedure of conversation research, arrange sufficient time for the cadres to read the materials and think carefully and prepare independently.

　　On this basis, the central leading comrades listened to the cadre’s recommendation on the candidates for the new central leading bodies by face-to-face talks.

　　"There is no limit to the number of referees, talk as much as you know, talk as you think, seek truth from facts and speak freely." The cadre felt afterwards, "As a comrade working in a local area, I have the opportunity and qualification to express my opinions and recommend the candidates for the new central leading body. This is the high trust of the CPC Central Committee, which fully reflects our party’s democratic style and broad mind, and reflects our party’s fine tradition of concentrating the wisdom of the whole party."

　　In the form of individual interviews and research, face-to-face listening to the recommendations and relevant suggestions for the candidates of the central leading bodies within a certain range is a major innovation in the nomination of candidates for the 19 th central leading bodies.

　　This major innovation is embodied in drawing lessons from historical experience and exploring new ways and measures to select and employ people — —

　　Our party has a fine tradition in selecting high-level leaders of the party and the state, and has been actively exploring, with experience and lessons. The 17th and 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China adopted the method of meeting recommendation. However, due to the excessive emphasis on the weight of votes, it brought some disadvantages: some comrades simply "ticked off" during the meeting recommendation process, which led to random voting and distorted public opinion, and even voted for relationship votes and human votes. Zhou Yongkang, Sun Zhengcai and Ling Jihua, who have been investigated and dealt with by the Central Committee, used the recommendation of the meeting to engage in non-organizational activities such as canvassing and bribery.

　　Adhering to the problem orientation, the Central Committee has innovated and improved the selection method of the new central leading body, emphasized the democratic orientation, improved democratic methods and improved the quality of democracy, and decided to gradually select the candidates for the central leading body on the basis of in-depth inspection and strict control of the candidates for the 19th "two committees" through talks, investigations, listening to opinions, repeated brewing and meeting decisions.

　　From late April to June 2017, the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader specially arranged time to talk with the current party and state leading comrades, members of the Central Military Commission, and old comrades in the party, fully listening to opinions and talking with 57 people before and after.

　　According to The Politburo Standing Committee (PSC)’s arrangement, the relevant leading comrades of the Central Committee respectively listened to the opinions of 258 leading comrades in charge of party member at the provincial and ministerial level and in the military theater and other members of the 18th Central Committee. The responsible comrades of the Central Military Commission respectively listened to the opinions of 32 leading comrades in the current theater and the main responsible comrades in the theater-level departments of the military commission.

　　This way of taking individual interviews and listening to opinions and suggestions face to face has won unanimous praise from comrades who participated in the talks. It is generally felt that the plan is well thought out, the work arrangement is meticulous, the program is well designed, and the discipline requirements are strict, so that the opinions reflected are more comprehensive, more true and more accurate.

　　This major innovation is reflected in the insistence on selecting people by things and forming a new mechanism and new orientation for organizational work — —

　　In the interview recommendation work, the Central Committee made clear the conditions for recommending candidates, insisted on selecting candidates according to the standards of Marxist politicians group, and paid attention to the integration of knowledge and practice; Adhere to the career-oriented, meritocratic, pay attention to work ability and practical experience; Adhere to the strict integrity and style of candidates, and pay attention to image and word of mouth.

　　Strict standards, career first, comrades who participated in the conversation spoke highly of this and unanimously agreed.

　　Everyone thinks that the leadership positions of the party and the state are not "iron chairs" or "iron hats", and those who meet the age may not necessarily continue to nominate, mainly according to the political performance, integrity and career needs of the candidates, and they can stay and transfer, be promoted and demoted.

　　Everyone reflected that the selection of candidates for the 19th Central Leading Body has improved the scientific employment mechanism, which is of far-reaching significance for further forming a good inner-party political ecology and enhancing the scientificity and credibility of cadre selection.

　　Many comrades said that it is an effective way to fully develop inner-party democracy in the new situation to listen to opinions widely on the high-level personnel arrangements of the party and the state on such a large scale, and it is a successful practice to improve and perfect the mechanism for the generation of party and state leaders, and advocates a new correct orientation for employing people.

　　This major innovation is embodied in adhering to a clean and upright style and reshaping the party’s new style and new image — —

　　With a glorious political mission and heavy political responsibility, and a highly responsible attitude towards the cause of the party and the state, the comrades who participated in the conversation were serious, knowing everything and saying everything, telling the truth and expressing their opinions fairly.

　　Comrades who participated in the conversation were very serious and cautious when thinking and preparing, and some drew up the outline of the conversation; In the conversation, everyone can speak freely, not only giving full recommendations, but also many comrades put forward good suggestions on the construction of the central leadership team; Some comrades called to supplement their opinions after returning from the conversation, and some also specially submitted written materials … …

　　"The conversation process is also a test and party spirit education for me, and it is a vivid practice for senior leading cadres to participate in political life within the party." Everyone reported that this method has overcome all kinds of disadvantages brought by the previous "pushing by the sea at the conference" and "drawing votes and ticking", and there is no undercurrent, and the wind is always clean and upright.

　　Fully communicate and brew, and unite the will of the whole party.

　　On the basis of comprehensive opinions and suggestions, on September 25, 2017, The Politburo Standing Committee (PSC) put forward a proposal for the composition of the new central leadership.

　　The proposal for the selection of leading members of the new Central Commission for Discipline Inspection was put forward by the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the Central Organization Department after deliberation and discussion. The proposal for the composition of the new Central Military Commission was put forward to the Central Committee by the Central Military Commission after collective discussion.

　　On September 29th, Politburo meeting of the Chinese Communist Party deliberated and approved the list of candidates for the new central leadership, and decided to submit it to the First Plenary Session of the 19th CPC Central Committee and the First Plenary Session of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection for election, adoption and decision respectively.

　　The process of the emergence of the new central leading body is a process of adhering to the party’s leadership and fully carrying forward democracy, and condensing the wisdom of the whole party. It is a process of doing things in strict accordance with party constitution, the system and the procedures, and a process of constantly improving and perfecting the mechanism for the emergence of party and state leaders, which fully shows that our party is more United, unified, mature and confident.

　　Sail in the wind and waves

　　— — The new central leading body has brought together outstanding ruling backbones from all walks of life of the whole party. They will unite and lead the whole party and the people of all ethnic groups throughout the country to carry out great struggles, build great projects, advance great undertakings and realize great dreams with lofty sentiments and high spirits.

　　On October 24th, the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China elected the new Central Committee and the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection.

　　On October 25th, the first plenary session of the 19th CPC Central Committee elected a new central leading body.

　　This is a leading group that embodies the will of the whole party, embodies the consensus of the whole party, reflects the expectations of the people, and deserves the full trust of the whole party, the whole army and the people of all ethnic groups throughout the country — —

　　The new central leading bodies are composed of ruling party backbones who meet the standards of Marxist politicians, can adapt to the overall layout of "five in one" and coordinate the promotion of "four comprehensive" strategic layouts, have the professional quality of solving difficult problems in reform and coping with various risks, have rich leadership experience and mass work skills, are loyal, clean and responsible, and have high prestige among cadres and the masses.

　　This is a leading group that links the past with the future and carries forward the future, fully embodying the style of contemporary the Communist Party of China (CPC) people — —

　　The 19th the Political Bureau of the Central Committee consists of 25 comrades who are familiar with all aspects and fields of work, all of whom have higher education and professional knowledge, and have a reasonable structure. Some of them work in local areas, some in central and state organs, some comrades in the army and some lesbians. Among them, 10 comrades were nominated by the 18th members of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, 3 comrades were transferred from the National People’s Congress and leading comrades in the State Council, and 12 comrades were newly promoted.

　　This is a leading group full of vigor and vitality, which can meet the needs of the long-term development of the cause of the party and the state — —

　　The advance and retreat ratio of the new central leading body is relatively appropriate, maintaining the continuity of personnel and work, and actively and steadily realizing the alternation of old and new senior leaders of the party and the state. A group of leading cadres who have both ability and political integrity and are in the prime of life have entered the new the Political Bureau of the Central Committee, which fully reflects the prosperity and success of our party.

　　When the new central leading bodies were considering candidates and soliciting opinions, some leading comrades of the Party and the state put the interests of the Party and the people first, and took the initiative to step down in the spirit of being highly responsible for national development and national rejuvenation, so as to let relatively young comrades come up, showing the broad mind and integrity of communist party people.

　　Pilot a new era and start a new journey.

　　On the morning of October 25, 2017, the East Hall of the Great Hall of the People was brightly lit and the atmosphere was warm. At 11: 54, the Supreme Leader of the 19th Central Committee, General Secretary of communist party, China, and Li Keqiang, Li Zhanshu, Wang Yang, Wang Huning, Zhao Leji and Han Zheng of The Politburo Standing Committee (PSC) entered the East Hall and had a cordial meeting with Chinese and foreign journalists covering the 19th Party Congress.

　　With vigorous steps and calm posture, the central leading comrades showed calm and heroic bearing and enterprising spirit in front of the camera and flash.

　　On behalf of the members of the new central leading body, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader sincerely thanked the comrades of the whole party for their trust, and said that he must be conscientious, diligent, and live up to his mission and trust. He said that in the past five years, we have done a lot of work, some have been completed, and some will continue to do so. The 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China put forward new goals and tasks, and we should make overall plans to implement them. As long as we are deeply rooted in the people and rely on them closely, we can gain infinite strength and forge ahead courageously, rain or shine.

　　This is the confidence of the leader of the new era, this is the responsibility of a ruling party, and this is the hope of the great national rejuvenation.

　　The new central collective leadership with the Supreme Leader as the core will unite and lead the whole party and the people of all nationalities in China, hold high the great banner of Socialism with Chinese characteristics, forge ahead with determination, work hard, win the decisive victory in building a well-off society in an all-round way, win the great victory of Socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era, and lead the ship carrying the great dream of the people of China to sail forward through the waves and sail to the glorious other side.

　　— — Keynote Speech at the Opening Ceremony of the 10th Ministerial Conference of China-Arab Cooperation Forum

　　(May 30, 2024, Beijing)

　　Chairman People’s Republic of China (PRC), Supreme Leader

Dear King Hamad,

Dear President Sethi,

Dear President Said,

Dear President Mohammed,

Mr. Gheit, Secretary General of the League of Arab States, heads of delegations,

Distinguished guests and friends,

　　It gives me great pleasure to attend the opening ceremony of the ministerial meeting of the China-Arab Cooperation Forum. Every time I get together with Arab friends, I feel very cordial. The friendship between the people of China and China and the Arab countries and peoples stems from the friendly exchanges on the ancient Silk Road, from the side-by-side struggle for national liberation, and from the win-win cooperation in the process of national construction.

　　Since the new century, China-Arab relations have continuously reached a new level. In December 2022, I went to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia to attend the first China-Arab summit, and my Arab colleagues agreed to build a community of destiny between China and Arab countries facing the new era. China is satisfied with the implementation of the outcome of the first China-Arab summit, and is willing to play a leading role in the summit strategy with Albania and continue to promote the leap-forward development of China-Arab relations. Here, I am pleased to announce that China will hold the second China-Arab Summit in China in 2026, which I believe will be another milestone in China-Arab relations.

　　Distinguished guests and friends!

　　At present, the century-old changes in the world are accelerating, and both China and Arab countries are shouldering the mission of the times to revitalize their respective nationalities and accelerate national construction. Building a community of destiny between China and Arab countries highlights our common desire to open a new era of China-Arab relations and create a better world and a new future.

　　China is willing to help each other with Albania and build China-Arab relations into a benchmark for maintaining world peace and stability. Facing the turbulent world, mutual respect is the way to live in harmony, and fairness and justice are the foundation of lasting security. We are willing to work with Albania to respect the purposes and principles of the UN Charter, the independent choice of people of all countries, the objective reality formed by history, and explore ways to solve hot issues that are conducive to maintaining fairness and justice and achieving long-term stability.

　　China is willing to be equal and mutually beneficial with Albania and build China-Arab relations into a high-quality model for building the "Belt and Road". The spirit of Silk Road has been passed down from generation to generation, leading China-Arab cooperation to keep pace with the times and widely benefiting the people of both sides. In the face of an interdependent world, we are willing to continue to dock development strategies with Albania, constantly build ballast stones for cooperation in oil and gas, trade and infrastructure, accelerate the cultivation of new growth points such as artificial intelligence, investment and financing, and new energy, and jointly take the road of innovation, green and prosperity.

　　China is willing to learn from each other and build China-Arab relations into a model of harmonious coexistence of different civilizations. In the face of a more diverse world, more dialogue, less confrontation, more tolerance and less estrangement. Peace, true knowledge, honesty and tolerance are the common pursuits of the Chinese and Arab peoples. We are willing to promote cultural exchanges with Albania, carry forward the common values of all mankind, and write a new era model of mutual learning and learning among different civilizations.

　　China is willing to work closely with Albania to build China-Arab relations into an example of exploring the correct path of global governance. The fate of mankind has become an inevitable trend, but the deficit of governance, trust, peace and development is increasing, which requires us to uphold the principle of joint construction and sharing and constantly optimize global governance. We are willing to work with Albania to advocate an equal and orderly world multipolarization and inclusive economic globalization, and to create a model for South-South cooperation in global governance.

　　Distinguished guests and friends!

　　During the first China-Arab summit, I proposed "eight common actions" to promote pragmatic cooperation between China and Arab countries. Over the past year or so, thanks to the joint efforts of both sides, China and Arab countries have signed the "One Belt, One Road" cooperation document to achieve full coverage, made new progress in scientific and technological research and development and technology transfer, reached a new level in economic, trade and energy cooperation, promoted the landmark flagship project and the "small but beautiful" project to benefit the people in parallel, deepened cooperation in food security, green innovation, health and other fields, operated the platform for humanities exchanges and cooperation with high quality, and achieved important results in the "Eight Common Actions". In the next stage, China is willing to build "five cooperation patterns" with Albania on this basis, so as to accelerate the construction of a community of destiny between China and Afghanistan.

　　The first is a more dynamic innovation-driven pattern. China will build 10 joint laboratories with Albania in the fields of life and health, artificial intelligence, green and low carbon, modern agriculture and spatial information; We are willing to strengthen cooperation with Afghanistan in the field of artificial intelligence, jointly promote artificial intelligence to empower the real economy and promote the formation of a global artificial intelligence governance system with broad consensus; We are willing to build a joint space debris observation center and Beidou application cooperation and development center with Albania to strengthen cooperation in manned space flight and civil passenger aircraft.

　　The second is a larger investment and financial structure. China is willing to set up an industrial and investment cooperation forum with Albania, continue to promote the expansion of China-Arab Union Bank, and accelerate the implementation of special loans for industrialization in the Middle East and financial cooperation between China and Arab countries. China supports financial institutions of both sides to strengthen cooperation, welcomes Arab countries to issue "panda bonds" in China, welcomes Arab banking institutions to join the RMB cross-border payment and settlement system, and is willing to deepen exchanges and cooperation with Arab central banks in digital currency.

　　The third is a more three-dimensional pattern of energy cooperation. China will further strengthen strategic cooperation with Albania in the oil and gas field to meet supply security and market security; We are willing to jointly develop new energy technology research and development and equipment production with Albania. China will support China energy enterprises and financial institutions to participate in renewable energy projects with a total installed capacity of more than 3 million kilowatts in Arab countries.

　　The fourth is a more balanced pattern of economic and trade reciprocity. China will continue to actively promote the implementation of 3 billion yuan development cooperation projects; We are willing to speed up the negotiation of bilateral and regional free trade agreements with Albania and promote the construction of e-commerce cooperation and dialogue mechanism. China welcomes Albania’s active participation in China International Import Expo and is willing to expand the import of non-energy products, especially agricultural and food products from Albania.

　　Fifth, a broader cultural exchange pattern. China is willing to set up the "China-Arab Center for Global Civilization Initiative" with Albania, expand the scale and influence of the China-Arab Research Center for Reform and Development, and accelerate the construction of platforms such as think tank alliance, youth development forum, university alliance and cultural and tourism cooperation research center. China will invite 200 political party leaders from Albania to visit China every year, and strive to achieve 10 million tourists’ mutual visits with Albania in the next five years.

　　Distinguished guests and friends!

　　The Middle East is a fertile ground for development, but the war in this land is still burning. Since October last year, the Palestinian-Israeli conflict has escalated dramatically and the people have suffered greatly. War can no longer continue indefinitely, justice can not be absent forever, and the "two-state solution" can not be shaken at will. China firmly supports the establishment of an independent Palestinian state with full sovereignty based on the 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital, Palestine becoming a full member of the United Nations, and the convening of a larger, more authoritative and more effective international peace conference. China will provide another 500 million yuan of emergency humanitarian assistance on the basis of the previous 100 million yuan to support the relief of the humanitarian crisis and post-war reconstruction in Gaza; A donation of $3 million will be made to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East to support the Agency’s emergency humanitarian assistance to Gaza.

　　An Arabic proverb says that friends are the sunshine in life. We will continue to work with Arab friends to carry forward the spirit of China-Arab friendship, unite to create a better future, and make the road to building a community of destiny between China and Arab countries full of sunshine!

　　thank you

　　People’s Daily Online, Beijing, December 2 (Reporter Qiao Yeqiong) The National Health and Wellness Commission held a press conference today to introduce the prevention and treatment of respiratory diseases in winter and answer questions from reporters.

　　At the meeting, a reporter asked that vaccines played a key role in the prevention and control of influenza. At present, influenza has entered the high season. Is it too late to vaccinate now?

　　Wang Dayan, director of the National Influenza Center of the Institute of Virology, China CDC, said that influenza, COVID-19 and pneumococcal infection all have corresponding types of vaccines. Influenza vaccines have been used all over the world and in China for decades. Scientific research and vaccination practice have fully proved that influenza vaccines are safe, effective and mature. Influenza vaccination can effectively reduce infection, even if it is infected, it can also reduce the incidence, and even if it is infected, it can also reduce the severity of the disease.

　　"At present, it is the high season of influenza. It is still effective to vaccinate people who have not been vaccinated with influenza before. It is recommended that you get the flu vaccine as soon as possible." In particular, Wang Dayan pointed out that people over 6 months can be vaccinated with influenza, especially for high-risk people such as children, the elderly and patients with chronic diseases. After being infected with influenza, the risk of severe illness is higher. Vaccination with influenza can effectively reduce the risk of developing into severe illness and death. I hope everyone will actively vaccinate.

　　Wang Dayan said that practice at home and abroad has proved that the use of vaccines is one of the most economical and effective preventive measures, and vaccines are safe. As long as they are vaccinated in professional institutions as required, they can have good results, especially for the elderly and children, and they should actively vaccinate against influenza to ensure a normal pace of life and study.

　 　 1905 movie network exclusive feature　5.49 billion! This is the monthly box office of China film market in July. How awesome is this number? Converted into US$ 884 million, the domestic market in the United States grossed US$ 1.09 billion in July, which means that China’s box office in July was equivalent to 81% of that in the United States. In vertical comparison, the box office in the same period last year was 3.693 billion yuan, an increase of 1.8 billion yuan, with an increase rate as high as 48%. Based on this growth rate, next year’s summer box office is expected to reach 8 billion yuan, surpassing the United States just around the corner.

　 　 The United States has the largest movie market in the world, but the total box office tends to be stable, and summer vacation is the most profitable period in a year. The last monthly record of China market was 4.134 billion yuan in February 2015, equivalent to 556 million US dollars, surpassing the box office in the United States for the first time. But at that time, China was a strong file because of the Spring Festival file; The same period in the United States is a low season. If we can surpass the United States in the summer file, it is estimated that China can really replace the United States as the world’s largest film market.

　 　 In the same period last year, Transformers 4: Extinction and Rebirth and breakup guru — — One big and one small, one outside and one middle dual-core drive are different. July this year is the July of domestic films, and the market share of domestic films accounts for 95.6%. What’s the secret behind this dazzling number and this blowout? Why did the market and audience suddenly get out of control? What is the doorway behind this seemingly lively movie midsummer carnival?

Watching blockbusters is fun: comedy is in power

　 　 There were three phenomenal films in July, namely monster hunt, Pancake Man and The Return of the Great Sage on the Journey to the West. The box office of "monster hunt" exceeded 2 billion, which not only secured the box office champion of Chinese movies in the Mainland, but also launched an impact on the box office champion "Speed and furious 7" (2.424 billion). Pancake Man also broke through 1.1 billion at the box office, successfully entering the top 10 of the mainland box office charts, while The Return of the Great Sage successfully surpassed Kung Fu Panda 2 to become the box office champion of the mainland animation. It is worth mentioning that all three films have got the extension key and are on the way to set a new record.

　 　 Looking through the box office rankings of Chinese movies, you will find an interesting phenomenon: six domestic films with box office exceeding 1 billion ("monster hunt" is 2.138 billion.<上映中>1.267 billion, 1.246 billion, 1.127 billion, 1.127 billion.<上映中>(1.169 billion) and "Journey to the West" 1.046 billion are comedies, and two are related to Journey to the West. If the standard is enlarged to 500 million box office Chinese films, the proportion of comedy films and films with strong comedy elements can still account for 50%.

　 　 From the data, it is not difficult to see the mainland audience’s love for comedies. Compared with foreign films, all of them have achieved a bumper box office in China, but they are not comedies. The advantage of domestic comedies lies in their grounding. There is only the question of whether the laughter is cold or not, and there is no situation where you can’t get it, and you don’t have to think twice about details such as culture and translation. Both comedies and special effects blockbusters are based on their powerful entertainment functions, which is also the purpose of the vast majority of viewers entering the cinema. In the blockbuster era when entertainment is king, there is nothing wrong with watching movies happily, and no one has the right to blame. However, at present, the mode of domestic commercial films is still in its infancy, which is simple and rude, and the types are still relatively single. The audience stratification is not clear, and small and medium-sized productions and art films cannot find their own audience, which will restrict the comprehensive development of domestic films.

　 　 Today, the polarization between comedy films and special effects films is gradually taking shape, and youth films are a spent force. Movies that focus on the youth market, such as Everything is Growing, Why Shengxiao Mo, Tiny Times 4: The End of the Soul, and Gardenia Blossoms, have achieved good box office results in the first week of release, but fans’ impulsive consumption and low reputation are difficult to provide energy for the follow-up income of the films. If the quality of youth films is not improved, they may become sub-box office films in the future market.

Cost-effective calculation: How many billions can a movie like monster hunt make money?

　 　 The most successful movie this summer is monster hunt, but monster hunt is not the movie with the highest return on investment, or even the most profitable movie. The domestic box office revenue is divided by the producer, the cinema and the issuer according to the proportion, and the producer gets 43% of the final box office (the proportion will be slightly adjusted for a single film). According to producer Jiang Zhiqiang, monster hunt invested 350 million yuan. If it includes publicity expenses, the box office must reach the profit and loss line of 810 million, and the producers can barely recover the cost. If it does not, the profit and loss line may be above 900 million. In the latter case, even if the total box office of "monster hunt" reaches 2 billion, the producer’s profit is only about 460 million, and the return on investment is about 110%, which is actually not high.

　 　 On the other hand, Pancake Man, which was released at the same time as monster hunt, had a total production and publicity cost of about 50 million, a break-even line of 116 million and a box office of 1 billion, which brought 380 million profits to the producers and a return on investment of 760%. Although monster hunt is slightly better than Pancake Man in terms of the amount of profit, the risks brought by high investment and other uncontrollable factors will multiply, and it is not uncommon for a blockbuster to ruin a production company. For example, the fiasco of Whisperwind sent MGM, which had been in a bleak business for many years, to the auction house, and Final Fantasy: Deep in the Soul also drove Sakaguchi Hironobu and SQUARE off the altar.

　 　 "monster hunt" is a gamble, making a Chinese special effects blockbuster is a gamble, and spending 70 million yuan to remake it is a gamble, but its victory is the victory of producer Jiang Zhiqiang. Before the release, the debate was whether the film could recover its cost through box office revenue, and no one dared to say that its box office would fall above 2 billion yuan. Regardless of the cost of investment, even to the point of risking one’s life, while admiring Jiang Zhiqiang’s courage, I have to stop and think: What if monster hunt fails? How many Jiang Zhiqiang can win the bet? Maybe the future market will give the answer.

　Editor’s note:On September 16th, American playwright edward ablee died at his home in Montauk, New York, at the age of 88. Albee won the Pulitzer Prize for Best Drama for three times and the Tony Prize for Best Drama for two times. He is the greatest playwright in the United States after Eugene O ‘Neill, tennessee williams and arthur miller.

Many of Albee’s plays have been translated and introduced into China. In 2013, Sanhui Books and Xinxing Publishing House published The Goat: Albue’s Plays, which included three representative plays. This article is a reading guide written by Hu Kaiqi, the translator of this book, for three plays. It is authorized by Sanhui Books to be used by The Paper, with some abridgements.

Edward ablee Oriental IC data

Edward Albee is the greatest playwright in the United States after Eugene O ‘Neill, tennessee williams and arthur miller, and is the flag of serious drama in contemporary America and even the world. Since The Zoo Story was first staged in the late 1950s, Albee’s plays have continuously shocked the American theater. Up to now, Albee has created more than 30 plays, and won three Pulitzer Prize for Best Drama, two Tony Prize for Best Drama, three Best Drama Literature Awards and four Lifetime Achievement Awards. His masterpieces include The Zoo Story, The American Dream and Who’s Afraid of Adeline Virginia Woolf? "delicate balance", "seascape", "three tall women", "goat or who is Sylvia? ","at home in the zoo "and so on.

As a representative of American serious drama, Albee always pays sharp and sober attention to the times and society, and reflects and criticizes the social reality and human existence fearlessly and mercilessly. He once said, "What people see on Broadway is not drama at all, but some mass-produced products, which will only make people intoxicated or sleepy, but not wake up and wake up." His plays are often performed in off broadway and even abroad, and finally returned to Broadway.

Albee’s works are deeply influenced by naturalism, surrealism, symbolism, absurd drama and other schools, but his exploration and modernity are mainly reflected in the connotation and thought of his works. As he said: "… the writer’s responsibility is to be an extraordinary social critic-to show people the true nature of the world and human beings he has seen, and to warn:’ Do you like it? If you don’t like it, change it.’ "

Albee embodies his unique style in the prompts of characters’ dialogues in his plays. For example, in The Goat or Who’s Sylvia? Stevie (honestly) If you are seeing that woman, I think we need to talk. Martin (stop, silent for a long time; Honestly) If I am like that … We will talk. " And "Ross (wow! ) You are in love! " Such hints also appear from time to time in At Home in the Zoo and The Garden of Desire. I kept this kind of Albee-style personalized prompt by literal translation.

Goat: Albee’s Plays

The goat or who is Sylvia in this book? "At Home in the Zoo" and "At Home in the Zoo" were published in Drama Art, and "The Garden of Desire" has been put on the stage of China by China National Theatre, while "Goat or Who is Sylvia? It also premiered in Beijing in 2012.

In 1967, after winning the Pulitzer Prize, edward ablee was interviewed in the theater. Oriental IC data

At Home in the Zoo: Human Isolation and Alienation

In 1958, edward ablee became famous with his first one-act play The Zoo Story (1958), which shocked the western society. This drama, which profoundly shows the alienation, isolation and loneliness of human beings in modern commercial society, has become a world-recognized classic of drama literature in the following half century. This play, originally named Peter and Jerry, was written by Albee in one go within three weeks before his 30th birthday. The author originally cast it on Broadway in new york, but it was rejected by the producer. So The Zoo Story came to Europe, premiered at Berlin Art Festival in September 1959, and began its new york premiere at Provinse Town Theatre in January 1960.

In 2008, Albee surprisingly changed his one-act drama "The Zoo Story" 50 years ago into a two-act drama "At Home at the Zoo" (2009) and staged it in the second theater in off broadway, new york. Shakespeare in the past or neil simon today have rewritten some of their past masterpieces in the form of sequels or prequels, but it is rare to rewrite them in a big way on the stage. Moreover, in the past half century, The Zoo Story is one of the most famous and frequently performed American plays in the world.

This great play about the murder scene between a gentleman Peter and a poor man Jerry in new york Central Park has always been a classic textbook for drama students. Over the years, countless commentators have discussed and analyzed Albee’s profound exposure of human alienation in the mid-20th century. Although he also wrote Who’s Afraid of Adeline Virginia Woolf? Three Tall Women, Delicate Balance and Goat or Who’s Sylvia? "and other thirty plays, but the shock and passion of" Zoo Story "is unique.

In fact, Albee’s idea of rewriting The Zoo Story has a long history. This play, which has become a world classic, was once performed as a short play with Beckett’s The Last Tape of klapp and other short plays. Albee has always regretted this. In the late 1990s, 40 years after The Zoo Story appeared, Albee planned to add a scene for Peter. "There is some imbalance, and Jerry kept telling in the play that Peter had no time to talk. I hope to know Peter better. "

Albee doesn’t agree with playwrights to rewrite their previous plays drastically. He said, "It can’t be rewritten. Times have changed and people are not the same." So he didn’t make a big move on The Zoo Story, but just wrote At Home as the first act of the whole play. He even mentioned that when he conceived the Zoo Story in 1958, he visited Peter and Anna and their living room. "I just couldn’t write this scene at that time."

Albiyuan traced his initial creative impulse: "I know Anna so well because I know what Peter’s wife should look like." He felt that At Home seemed to flow from his heart, and he just showed the relationship between the couple naturally. As a solemn and humorous study of mediocre civilization, At Home shows the conversation between a loving couple in today’s society.

At the beginning of the first act of At Home in the Zoo, just after noon on Sunday, in a Danish modern living room in an apartment building in East Seventies Street, Manhattan, two or three avenues away from Central Park, a peaceful and elegant middle-aged gentleman husband Peter and his dignified and quiet wife Anna appeared. Two silent daughters are upstairs, and Peter is sitting and reviewing an extremely important and boring textbook that has never been published by their publishing company.

Anna walked out of the kitchen and casually declared, "We should talk." So they talked about family chores: fireplace, children, microwave oven, cats, parrots, and then talked about each other’s sleeping state and Anna’s habit of night outing before dawn. Anna told puzzled Peter that she wanted to have her breasts removed to prevent cancer. The two chatted with each other jokingly about death, love and people’s madness, and also associated with "thinking about thinking about something."

With Anna’s outspokenness, Peter said carefully that he thought his penis was "shrinking". Anna suppressed her smile to show sympathy. She knew that sex and sexual topics were not Peter’s strong points, and she called him a "gentleman". They talked about circumcision and clitoris … Then the conversation turned back to why Anna proposed to talk. During the conversation, they suddenly found that some terrible unspeakable thing threatened their quiet life; They found each other unable to pour out their deepest fears.

Peter recalled the details of violent sex with a girl when he was drunk in college. That crazy sex ended in blood dripping and pain and shame, so Peter was always careful in his subsequent sex for fear of hurting others. During the conversation, Anna slapped Peter in the face and immediately hugged him and kissed him passionately. She said that she just wanted to surprise him with suspense. In laughter, they hoped that a sudden tornado would completely destroy their safe and orderly family life. Then, the two said goodbye to "I love you". Anna went to the kitchen, and Peter went to Central Park with the boring textbook.

The second act of At Home in the Zoo is the original Zoo Story. Albee didn’t rewrite this scene, only made some abridgements, so the text is the same as his original 1999 version. At the beginning of the second act, Peter who came to Central Park was sitting on a bench reading. Then, a disheveled man in his thirties, Jerry, appeared. Depressed-looking Jerry insisted on talking to Peter. Jerry lives in a cubicle on the top floor of an old building on Manhattan’s Upper West Side. He has no friends or relatives and is alone. He told about his homosexual experiences in adolescence and his life as a prostitute now. Peter was very embarrassed by his dark and filthy candor. In addition to satisfying the lust of the slutty and dirty landlady, Jerry has to deal with the landlady’s "black monster" dog that keeps chasing him. After repeatedly failing to please the evil dog, he poisoned it. The bad dog survived and ignored Jerry, so there was only indifference between man and dog. Jerry can’t communicate with dogs and people.

Because the first scene "At Home" shows the spiritual estrangement and emotional alienation between Peter and his wife, in the second scene, when Jerry frantically tells the loneliness and isolation of his existence in a monologue, Peter is more clearly aware of the distortion, fracture and isolation between himself and Anna. His deep anger, anxiety and despair contributed to the growing conflict between him and Jerry for the park bench, until he angrily held Jerry’s sharp blade to defend himself, until Jerry swooped on the sharp blade and committed suicide.

In the scene of In the Zoo, we have to face the isolation and alienation of people in modern society with fear. In the scene at home, we can only look directly at it painfully: even in a happy family and marriage, isolation and alienation are everywhere. From Peter and Anna’s emotional and spiritual indifference to Jerry’s isolated and absurd living condition, bloody suicide in the park seems to be the inevitable outcome. As you can imagine, when Peter fled the park and ran home like a wounded beast, when Anna tried to comfort him, Jerry’s suicide caused the peaceful world around them to collapse. The couple had hoped for waves and ripples in a peaceful life, but the revenge of bad luck came unexpectedly.

Stills of "At Home in the Zoo"

In the society of vicious expansion of modern industrial civilization, people are gradually losing their humanity and personality. When people are alienated by materials, interpersonal relationships are also alienated. In the noisy, complicated and almost crazy modern city, people are like a group of worker ants, crawling repeatedly every day. People think, people get tired, and people get lost. People pursue material things, but they are alienated by them after all. On the park bench in At Home in the Zoo, Peter sits at one end and Jerry sits at the other, separated by a barrier, just like Jerry mentioned the zoo-"all animals are separated". This sense of isolation is the living form of human beings in today’s society, and it is also one of the phenomena of material alienation. Crazy industrial civilization has not made human beings truly "civilized", on the contrary, it has made human beings move from civilization to barbarism, just like the two couples who bite each other in the novel "Slaughter the God" by the French playwright Jasmina Razer. The lonely individuals of Peter, Anna and Jerry are the portrayal of everyone in today’s society. The pain of each individual is also the pain of the whole mankind.

"At Home in the Zoo" makes the audience realize the threat hidden in the survival of every modern person. If "At Home" is a slap in people’s face and "At the Zoo" is a punch in people’s abdomen, you can imagine the horror and confusion of the theater fans gasping. For the two plays written 50 years apart, Albee insists that they are a whole. "This is a complete play. Peter’s experience in the first act contributed to the conflict between him and Jerry in the second act. The completeness and profundity of this two-act drama far exceeds the one-act Zoo Story. "

The Zoo Story has been staged many times in China, and it was also performed at Nanluoguxiang Drama Festival in May 2011. For the audience who are used to The Zoo Story, At Home in the Zoo is more like two independent dramas. It’s just as well. The emotional ice in the first act and the emotional fire in the second act do form a clear contrast between them. If at home is regarded as another play by Albee that pays attention to the emotion and ecology of middle-aged couples, it is different from his previous Marriage Drama (1987) and Goat or Who is Sylvia? Compared with the characters in "Peter and Anna", the scene of Peter and Anna can go deeper into the hearts of the audience.

It is worth mentioning that in November, 2011, another absurd family drama "Sex and the Garden" by Albee was also put on the stage in Beijing by China National Theatre.

At Home in the Zoo shows us the changes of Albee’s writing style in the past 50 years. Albee is 80 years old, but her creativity is still strong. "In the Zoo" 50 years ago was full of anger and youthful agitation; After 50 years, At Home is thoughtful and wise, with philosopher’s feelings. The former is angry, the latter is quiet. Whether it is pain or sorrow, whether it is sentimentality or cynicism, this talented playwright has always been deeply concerned about the ups and downs of human destiny and the decline of modern civilization.

Goat or Who is Sylvia? Notes on the definition of a tragedy

The absurd family tragedy of contemporary American society, Goat or Who is Sylvia? 》（The Goat or Who is Sylvia? , 2002) won several drama awards such as Tony’s best drama in 2002. Goat or Who is Sylvia? In March 2002, it premiered at the John Goolden Theatre on Broadway, with a total of 309 performances. In 2004, the London edition of Goat or Who is Sylvia? The British premiere began again. "Who’s Sylvia" in the title of this play is taken from the song "Who’s Sylvia?" by Proteus in Shakespeare’s Two Gentlemen of Verona. 》。

Martin Gray, the hero of the play, is a typical decent, upright and brilliant architect in American society. He lives an ideal and happy life with his beloved wife and son. In his lucky week, he came to the door three times. In addition to his 50th birthday party, he also won the highest international architectural design award and a huge contract for landmark architectural design. However, when he revealed his unspeakable secrets to his friends in fear-when he had sex with a goat (Sylvia), everything around him-family, affection, life and career fell apart in an instant.

Goat or Who is Sylvia? The challenge to people’s morality lies in how to face the social forbidden zones such as extramarital sex, homosexuality, incest and animal rape in contemporary society, and at the same time, the goat or who is Sylvia? It also conveys the desire of modern people to return to nature. Martin is at the peak of his career and happy in his family life. However, it is conceivable that all kinds of reputation and crazy material civilization in modern society have alienated human beings and overwhelmed Martin. This is why he hates public masks and is obsessed with finding an idyllic land.

The beauty of the country made him linger and forget his worries. Now he fell in love with a goat and had sex with it. On the moral level, this extremely abnormal behavior is shameful, but in human nature, it may be a release under the long-term pressure of alienation. It is the pastoral scenery that returns to nature that awakens Martin’s instinct and primitive desire. Although his choice is shocking, he feels holy, happy and beyond all love …

As far as drama style is concerned, The Goat or Who is Sylvia? "Who’s Afraid of Adeline Virginia Woolf?" Albee won the Tony Award for Best Drama on Broadway 40 years ago. 》（Who is Afraid of Virginia Woolf ? 1962), there is a return to realism: clear plots, concrete scenes and stylized dialogues. As the mainstream writer of American serious drama, Albee’s avant-garde style is more manifested in events and themes than in the form of drama.

Goat or Who is Sylvia? The whole play is divided into three scenes without intermission. The core of the whole play is the fierce confrontation and debate between Martin and Stevie.

The Gothic atmosphere in Albee’s plays, or the surreal dream and its mysterious symbol and deliberate concealment all make critics and audiences feel that the goat in this play is just a symbol and a metaphor, and the bestiality in the play is just the playwright’s literary thinking and exploration of a social concept. But the goat or who is Sylvia? The language is so vivid and touching, and the scene is so realistic that the audience can’t avoid Albee’s deliberate warning: sometimes a goat is a goat.

At the end of the first scene, Martin revealed the secrets of his heart to Ross; When the second scene begins, Stevie has learned the truth from Ross’s letter. Martin’s son Billy immediately fell into confusion and anger; Stevie then fiercely attacked and blamed Martin and asked him to explain this unforgivable behavior. When Martin tried his best to communicate with her and pour out his troubles, Stevie kept interrupting him, making the audience in the theater laugh their heads off. When Martin painfully told her that he loved her as always, Stevie replied coldly, "But I am a human being, I only have two breasts, and I can only walk upright …"

In The Goat or Who Is Sylvia? In an interview before the premiere of new york, Albee said that he hoped to test the audience’s tolerance through this play. He said: "All civilizations have arbitrary norms on their tolerance. This play shows how a family is deeply shaken by an unimaginable event and how they solve this dilemma. I hope that people will give new thoughts on the reasonable direction of their own values. " Undoubtedly, this is also a test of human nature, an extremely complex and deep exploration: the nature of love, the mystery of sex, human empathy and so on.

Albee’s provocative idea is that love, no matter what form, is an undeniable objective existence, and even social norms, cultural customs and personal wishes can’t overwhelm it. Martin can’t defend his behavior, so he can only beg Stevie’s understanding and forgiveness, but he firmly believes that his love for Sylvia is sincere and deep, insisting that the encounter with her is an "epiphany" and "once it happens, there is no retreat". He claimed that his love for Sylvia was essentially the same as his love for Stevie, which was unacceptable and incomprehensible to Stevie.

If love is an abstraction that is not limited by inherent moral values, then human sexual behavior is distinct and concrete, and it inevitably bears moral responsibility. Therefore, in the current concept of human society, the love between Martin and goat is undoubtedly an inherent evil. He thought his love for the goat was "irrelevant to everything", but found that it was related to everything around him.

Goat or Who is Sylvia? The subtitle of the play is "Annotation on the Definition of a Tragedy". Albee pointed out that his allusions originated from the ancient Greek tragedy, and the word "tragedy" originated from the "song of the goat" in ancient Greek. In the first scene, when Ross asked about the strange and secret whistle, Martin coolly called it "the goddess of mercy".

Bentley, a dramatist, wrote in his book Benlly, The life of the Drama: "In tragedy, people are both angels and beasts, and they are fighting." This idea is in "goat or who is Sylvia?" It was echoed in ". Martin said it was the soul, and Stevie insisted on sexual desire. When Stevie pointed out that their dilemma was "You are a wild animal", Martin calmly replied, "I think I am … I think we are all wild animals." Martin admitted that he was "miserable" and "deeply divided", but Stevie couldn’t forgive him. The "goddess of mercy" didn’t appear, only a cavity of revenge anger. "You ruined me, well, God has eyes! I let you destroy it with me! " Goat or Who is Sylvia? The dilemma of human nature in this extreme state presented in "The Tragedy" profoundly completes the annotation of a tragic definition.

At the end of the play, Stevie dragged Sylvia’s body on the stage covered in blood. Love, sympathy and understanding disappeared, leaving only hatred, revenge and misunderstanding. Looking at the goat lying in a pool of blood, Martin looked up and wailed the heartbreaking fate of him and Sylvia. He could only cry, "Does no one understand this? Why can’t anyone understand … I’m lonely … so … lonely! " At this moment, Martin Gray is like the ghost of Oedipus-painfully blinding himself, leaving the warmth and sympathy of the world forever and disappearing into the wilderness.

Edward ablee’s The Garden of Desire

A Garden of Desire: The Collapse and Degeneration of a Flashy Society

Edward ablee’s "Garden of Desire" was originally named "Everything in the Garden" (1967), and its original author was the famous British playwright Giles Cooper. The play was first performed by the Royal Shakespeare Company in London in March 1962. In December 1966, 48-year-old Cooper died young. In order to commemorate him, the American version of "Garden of Desire" adapted by Albee was staged on Broadway in new york in 1967. Albee’s Garden of Desire satirizes and exposes the hypocritical and greedy American money society, which makes it the most important and controversial one in his adaptation, but it is also the most successful one: the popular comedy Garden of Desire and his best original drama Who is afraid of Adeline Virginia Woolf? "has been put on the screen.

In November, 2011, as the first part of the National Theatre’s "Famous Classics: Desire Trilogy", the Garden of Desire, directed by Han Jie, premiered at the newly-built National Theatre. This black comedy, which reveals the greed for money in contemporary human society, has been playing for a long time in the West, and it is also loved by China audiences in Beijing. In February, 2012, this drama began its second hot performance in national centre for the performing arts. More than ten years ago, the then China Youth Art Theatre moved this play. Nowadays, owning a garden villa has become a dream in people’s hearts, and "Desire Garden" undoubtedly has a profound warning meaning for the current extremely impetuous social mentality of worshipping money.

In Albee’s "Garden of Desire", Jenny and Richard, who live in the garden villa, are struggling to make ends meet, so they can only desperately maintain their dignity; Their good friend, Jack, a rich painter who inherited millions of inheritance, is carefree but lonely, so he always comes to Jenny for emotional comfort. Jack loves Jenny and Richard so much that he is determined to leave his ten million inheritance to the couple after his death. But half a year later, Jenny and Richard made a fortune. It turned out that Jenny was lured by Mrs. Tus and went to Mrs. Tus’s brothel in the city for prostitution without telling Richard. At the subsequent party, Jenny and Richard found that the housewives of their rich neighbors and friends were all "girls" of Mrs. Tus. Jack, who arrived late, recognized Mrs. Tuse at the party, and he was killed …

Compared with the rural story of London in Cooper’s original work, Albee’s Garden of Desire deepens and strengthens the revelation and torture of human nature and living conditions in modern society with a typical American middle-class life scene. For example, in Cooper’s original play, the couple didn’t see books and paintings in their indoor furnishings, while in Albee’s Broadway "Garden of Desire", not only a few oil paintings were hung indoors, but also books were filled on shelves covering a whole wall. This makes the audience have to face up to it: in a money world with moral collapse, intellectuals as social conscience are equally depraved and crazy. This is undoubtedly a mirror of the present China society.

This character, renamed Mrs Tus by Albee, was a Polish Jewish woman who survived the Nazi concentration camp in Cooper’s original play and made a living as a pimp for bored middle-class British housewives. Albee turned her into a headstrong and ruthless businesswoman who organized prostitution in new york, deliberately hiding her life story to highlight her evil symbol. In Cooper’s play, Jenny advertised for a job and attracted Mrs. Tus; In Albee’s play, Jenny’s neighbor girlfriend revealed Jenny’s financial difficulties to Mrs. Tus.

The biggest controversy in this play lies in the unpunished murder in the play. Some critics think that Albee should delete the murder plot in the adaptation, so as not to fall into the murder convention of the structural reasoning play and weaken its social critical significance. Time magazine thinks that murder is "too sensational, as if the corruption and collapse of moral values only mean death". Albee keeps the plot of murder, but unlike Cooper, he hopes that his Garden of Desire is more than just a social drama to explore the moral culture of the middle class in American society. Death in Cooper’s works is a one-dimensional realism, while death in Albee’s works is a symbol.

Albee’s Garden of Desire is no longer an isolated murder story, it reveals the moral and spiritual collapse and degeneration of a flashy society as a whole; It condemned the murder of humanity and humanity in this defeated society. Over the past 50 years, among more than 30 plays created by Albee, four have been adapted: The Garden of Desire, Malcolm, The Sad Cafe Song and Lolita in the 1980s. He once criticized the shoddy adaptation of many screenwriters on the American stage. "Most of these works adapted from European novels and scripts are clumsy, distorted and worthless, but people should not forget that many plays by playwrights Sophocles, Shakespeare, Racine, Giraudoux and Anouilh are their adaptations … Drama adaptation can be a respected profession and a very important artistic act."

Albee believes that successful screenwriters should not only retell and express the story of the original, but also use the original as a springboard to explain their unique views. Just like electra, Sophocles, euripides, Giraudoux and Hoffman Shtal have their own unique forms and contents. Playwrights have their own interpretations of the original, and the story of the original is only a catalyst for their artistic conception. Before Shakespeare’s tragedy King Lear, The History of King Lear was staged in the Elizabethan era. In this early version, King Lear did not go crazy, but returned to the throne two or three years later and died peacefully. If Shakespeare was trapped in the story and thought of the original play, there would be no unparalleled Shakespeare’s tragedy King Lear today.
