When Lil Nas X recorded the single "OldTown Road" in a small studio, he never thought that more than 70 million people would use this song to record short videos on TikTok. It is even more unexpected that such a popular way will make him occupy the top position of Billboard Hot 100 for 19 consecutive weeks.

Maybe even TikTok didn’t expect that not only in China, but also in European and American markets, musicians began to use TikTok to promote their songs, and record companies paid more and more attention to this platform. At the same time, as the most popular social platform, TikTok frequently appeared on the front pages of major overseas media, became the number one competitor of overseas Internet giants, and was also targeted by the US Securities and Futures Commission.

ByteDance, an Internet company in China, successfully stirred up the overseas Internet market through TikTok. However, this is only the tip of the overseas music market layout of China Internet giants.

Netease: machine emperor blessing, cast a dark horse in the African music market

Last month, Netease released its financial report for the third quarter, and the revenue of Netease Cloud Music reached a new high. At the same time, BoomPlay, a music streaming service owned by Netease, reached a copyright licensing cooperation with Sony Music. Previously, it reached copyright licensing cooperation with Universal Music and Warner Music Group in November 2018 and March 2019 respectively.

What’s the origin of BoomPlay? In 2017, the intelligent terminal production service provider Chuanyin Holdings and Netease established a joint venture company Chuanyi Internet, and BoomPlay is a music streaming platform for the African market under Chuanyi Internet.

According to MBW, Boompla can be divided into two modes: free mode and paid mode, and paying users spend about $1.50 per month. At present, BoomPlay has covered most of Africa, with 60 million users, an increase of 18 million compared with February this year, and an increase of about 2 million users every month.

According to seven wheat data, this two-year-old music streaming platform ranks in the top five in the music application rankings of Apple stores in many countries/regions in Africa, and ranks in the top three in Nigeria, Ghana and Tanzania.

In March 2019, Boomplay announced the completion of the $20 million Series A financing, which was led by Maixing Investment, followed by Yunshi Capital and other strategic investors. The funds raised in this round will be mainly used for music library expansion, product upgrade and talent introduction to support the team to further consolidate its leading position in the African market.

The development of market economy in 54 countries/regions in Africa is very different. Although sub-Saharan Africa accounts for 15% of the global population, it only accounts for 2% of the global record music market, and its streaming media market is "still in its infancy". However, according to IFPI data, South Africa’s streaming media revenue increased by 334.2% in 2016 and 40.2% in 2017, from 8.4 million US dollars in 2016 to 11.78 million US dollars in 2017. Some media believe that Africa’s music industry is a volcano waiting to erupt.

It is estimated that by 2020, 500 million African citizens will have smartphones. Chuanyi Internet’s other major shareholder, Chuanyin Holdings, is the largest smartphone service provider in Africa, with a market share of about 40%. According to the IDC report, Voice ranked first in the smartphone market in Africa in 2018.

BoomPlay pre-installs the software in the mobile phone due to the advantages of the voice service provider, which not only enhances the competitiveness of the mobile phone, but also brings new users to BoomPlay continuously. Based on Netease’s experience in music streaming media business, with the help of the business advantages of voice transmission in the local market in Africa, the combination of the two makes Boomplay expand rapidly in the African music market.

ByteDance: Short video+streaming media, sweeping overseas music market.

According to CNBC, ByteDance beat Tencent and Baidu in the first half of 2019 and became the second largest digital advertiser in China after Alibaba. Compared with the same period of last year, ByteDance’s advertising revenue in the first half of 2019 increased by 113%, most of which came from its short video platform "Tik Tok" and news information application "Today’s Headlines".

In 2019, TikTok’s overseas version of TikTok achieved amazing growth. It is no exaggeration to say that TikTok has become a global phenomenon. According to the report of Sensor Tower, as of November, TikTok has more than 1 billion users worldwide, with about 800 million active users every month. In June of this year, TikTok users spent a total of $10.8 million, with American users accounting for about 20%. According to foreign media reports, TikTok has made a profit of $175 million on App Store and Google Play Store.

In November 2019, TikTok also launched its own ticketing function-TikTok Tickets in Thailand, which provides tickets discounts and discounts for concerts, movies and other activities. At present, TikTok Tickets has reached cooperation with several entertainment brands in Thailand, such as BEC Tero, Major Cineplex, Neon Festivals and Ticketmelon.
In addition, according to foreign media reports on December 11th, ByteDance quietly launched a new music application Resso in India and Indonesia in May this year. According to Sensor Tower data, about 27,000 users of iOS App Store and Google Play have installed Resso since it was released six months ago. Unlike Spotify, Resso displays real-time lyrics, allows users to comment under songs, generates GIFs and videos accompanied by music, and provides a monthly subscription service at a price of 119 rupees (about 1.70 US dollars).

At present, Resso has obtained the copyright of songs from Indian record companies T-Series and Times Music. However, according to informed sources, Resso has not yet reached a copyright agreement with Warner Music Group, Universal Music Group and Sony Music Entertainment.

Obviously, ByteDance’s traffic play and local operation are quite successful, which even makes overseas Internet giants a little overwhelmed. This China Internet company, which has more than one billion active users in the world, has made a large territory overseas through Tiktok and is attacking the music industry in its own way.

Tencent: shareholding alliance+strategic investment, layout of Southeast Asia and India markets.

In addition to the eye-catching overseas layout of ByteDance, as early as December 2017, Tencent and Tencent Music Entertainment reached a cooperation in the form of stock exchange alliance, and the two companies jointly held 9.1% of the shares of Spotify, becoming its third largest shareholder. At present, Tencent’s acquisition of at least 10% shares in Universal Music is close at hand.

Last month, according to a Bloomberg report, people familiar with the matter said that Tencent planned to acquire a 10% stake in UMG for $3.3 billion, of which about $2 billion might be in the form of equity financing. The report mentioned that Tencent hopes to complete the acquisition in the next few months, and may recruit more minority investors to acquire up to 20% of the shares of Universal Music. These potential investors include Hillhouse Capital and Singapore’s sovereign wealth fund GIC Pte.

Before joining Spotify, Tencent launched its own music platform JOOX in Southeast Asia in 2015. This platform, which is positioned as a multimedia entertainment application, provides a highly localized user interface, and also establishes a team of local experts to monitor and predict the situation of song lists and real-time broadcasting in real time.

According to seven wheat data, JOOX basically occupies the top five positions in the music application rankings of Apple stores in Hong Kong, China, Macau and Southeast Asian countries. JOOX also launched its own service in South Africa in 2017, and ranked fourth in the music application ranking of Apple Store. According to a media report in Bangkok, JOOX currently lives at around 10 million a month.

Last month, JOOX also launched activities such as listening to songs and sharing songs to do tasks, earning gold coins for VIP, obtaining K-song value-added services, and tickets for music activities. In addition, K-Pop fans can also use gold coins to support idols before the MMA awards ceremony and have the opportunity to get tickets for MMA 2019.

In addition, in 2017, the national karaoke under Tencent Music Entertainment also launched an overseas version of WeSing to enter the Southeast Asian market. Hundreds of kols from the Philippines, Thailand and Indonesia have joined WeSing and uploaded thousands of karaoke videos. In July this year, overseas media reported that "WeSing has been the most popular application among similar products in the Philippines for three consecutive months".

In order to meet the needs of diversified experiences and satisfy the interests of music fans, WeSing cooperated with MYX, the music channel of ABS-CBN, a leading media and entertainment group in the Philippines, and its activities included daily song lists provided by MYX and karaoke programs hosted by celebrities.

Similarly, Tencent has not let go of the Indian market, which is still in its infancy but is growing rapidly. In early 2018, Tencent invested $115 million in Gaana, an Indian streaming service. Gaana is currently the largest music streaming platform in India, with more than 125 million active users every month. The platform has more than 45 million songs, including Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Marathi, Kannada, Punjabi, Malayalam, English and other languages, and users can try them out for free. This month, Gaana announced the first lineup of exclusive podcast programs on the platform.

Looking at Tencent’s overseas layout, on the one hand, it constantly adds its own good business, on the other hand, it continues Tencent’s consistent idea of leveraging partners to gain opportunities to enter new markets by means of investment, such as using equity transactions with Universal Music and Spotify to enter the mature European and American music markets.

Internet giants in China are stirring up the global music market.

"Its performance in the United States began to take off, especially for young people. Its growth in India is very rapid. I think it has surpassed Instagram in terms of scale. " Zuckerberg’s conversation inside Facebook was leaked, and this one refers to Tiktok.

Undoubtedly, the rapid popularity of Tiktok has brought a great sense of crisis to overseas giants. At the end of last year, Facebook launched a software called Lasso to benchmark TikTok, but its monthly download was less than 1% of TikTok’s-by the end of June 2019, Lasso, a similar short video software of Facebook, had an average monthly download of 15,000 times, while TikTok’s download in January increased by 6.4 million times. On November 12th, Instagram also released a TikTok-like product called Reels. The same is true of Twitter, but its attempt in the field of short video Vine has failed.

Although TikTok is a social short video application, it has also set off a gust of wind in the overseas music market. In a report of "Top Ten Media and Entertainment Predictions in 2020" published by Forbes, Tiktok added the word "Music" in addition to the prefix of social video. Record companies have incorporated Tiktok into their own marketing centers, and in terms of music copyright fees, the asking price of record companies has also risen with the valuation of Tiktok. At the same time, for the new music streaming platform launched by ByteDance, the parent company of Tiktok, all major record companies also expect to get a piece of it, which is in a game period.

In addition, the rapid development of China’s streaming music market has even played a role in forcing the functional innovation of overseas streaming media platforms. For example, Spotify added a video function Canvas this year, allowing artists to insert short videos into playlists and attach GIFs to song playing pages. This is not unrelated to the popularity of short videos.

At the same time, the scrolling of lyrics with tracks is a basic function in China’s music streaming media platform, but due to copyright restrictions in the United States and Britain, there has been no function of displaying lyrics for a long time. In August of this year, Apple Music launched this feature in IOS13, and soon afterwards, Spotify began to test the launch of this feature. Last month, it was reported by the media that Apple Music applied for a patent for lyrics search technology, and it has been released by the US Patent Office.

At the same time, while expanding their overseas distribution, China’s Internet giants have also forged closer ties with overseas enterprises, feeding back the domestic music market. Two months ago, both Tunecore and CD baby, well-known overseas distribution platforms, announced that they had reached a cooperation with TME to distribute the music of overseas musicians to China. On the other hand, China enterprises are appearing more and more frequently in overseas well-known music media such as MBW and Digital Music News. In various overseas news and reports, there are highlights such as "China is one of the fastest growing regions in the global music market" and "China ranks seventh among the top ten music markets in the world in 2018", which makes the global music market see the latest trends and development potential of China’s music industry.

It can be predicted that with the continuous improvement of the strength of Internet enterprises in China and the further development of the music industry in China, the Internet giants in China will become more and more active on the global stage.

On-the-spot report on the emergence of the new central leading body of the party

  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.

  — — 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.

Lorelei, he’s on a hot search? What happened to the "life-saving medicine" of "allergic star people"

Source: Jiangsu CDC (jscdcwx)

Spring has come, and "allergic star people" are getting worse.

Some people say, chlorine ray is in his hand, don’t panic!

However …

How did this get on the hot search?

The antihistamine represented by loratadine is a "life-saving medicine" for many allergic people.

So, many people rely on antihistamines for a long time, will there be side effects? What are the precautions?

Who is the "life-saving medicine" chlorine ray?

Loratadine is a commonly used drug to relieve allergic symptoms and one of the representative drugs of antihistamines.

In April and May every year, willow flocks are high, and many people will take loratadine with them in order to relieve allergic symptoms.

Although it is often used, many people don’t know how it works.

This is going to start with "what is the allergy?"

Generally speaking, allergy means that the immune system overreacts and misjudges substances from outside as "harmful substances".

At this time, the immune system will release a substance called "histamine", which will combine with histamine receptors in the body.

Therefore, patients will have respiratory tract, eyes, skin and other symptoms at the same time or successively.

H1 antihistamines represented by loratadine and cetirizine, as the name implies, are drugs that can prevent histamine from binding to its receptor, so that histamine cannot play its role.

Therefore, after taking antihistamines, symptoms such as itchy skin and sneezing will be quickly relieved. Therefore, antihistamines are called "life-saving drugs" by many allergic people.

Can this medicine be taken for a long time?

Some people regard loratadine as a "life-saving artifact all year round". But are there any side effects from long-term use of antihistamines?

In fact, loratadine can not eradicate allergens, and long-term use may lead to some adverse reactions.

side effect

First-generation antihistamines (such as diphenhydramine and bromophenamine) can cause adverse reactions such as drowsiness, fatigue and dizziness. It has anticholinergic effect, which may cause blurred vision, dry eyes, nose and mouth, urinary retention, constipation, etc. The elderly and children should use it with caution.

The second generation antihistamines (such as loratadine and cetirizine) have weak sedative effect, are not easy to cause drowsiness, and have high safety; There is no obvious anticholinergic adverse reaction, so it has no antitussive function.

Third-generation antihistamines (such as levocetirizine hydrochloride and desloratadine) have relatively strong antiallergic effect and relatively few side effects, and some drugs can be used for pregnant and lactating women and children.

Therefore, if you need to take such drugs for a long time, it is recommended to consult a doctor. The following is a summary of medication for reference.

1. Choose drugs carefully

Antihistamines are only suitable for use under the guidance of a doctor to relieve the symptoms caused by allergic diseases. Pregnant and lactating women, as well as the elderly and children, should be cautious when using drugs.

2. Pay attention to the time and dosage of medication.

Even loratadine and cetirizine, which are considered very safe in clinic, should not be taken continuously for more than one month. Because of the individual differences in medication, if the symptoms are not improved, the dosage of the drug should not be increased without authorization, and other drugs or treatment methods should be selected under the guidance of a doctor.

Step 3 don’t drink

Do not drink alcohol while taking antihistamines, otherwise it will increase the burden on the liver and inhibit the central nervous system.

4. Don’t take it before skin test.

Loratadine can prevent or reduce the positive reaction of skin test and affect the results.

5. Beware of the "chain reaction" of drugs

Antifungal drugs and macrolide antibiotics can increase the content of loratadine in blood, and it is easy to aggravate the adverse reactions when combined with antihistamines.

6. Patients with heart disease should pay attention to it

In the case of rational drug use, antihistamines have very little hepatorenal toxicity, but literature shows that some first-generation and second-generation antihistamines may have potential cardiotoxicity. Although rare, people who have heart disease or cardiovascular risk should pay attention when using antihistamines for a long time.

What else can I do to deal with allergies?

In addition to using antihistamines, many "senior patients" said that the best way to deal with it is to wear a mask! Wear long sleeves!

"Allergic star people" can do the following things in their daily life.

1. Protect yourself when going out: Wear a mask, and you can wear a thin coat for fear of allergies in bare arms. When going out, the clothes are inevitably stained with allergens such as pollen and dust outside. I suggest you wash your hair, take a shower and change your clothes when you get home.

2. Clean the nasal cavity every day: people with allergic rhinitis or sensitive to pollen and catkins should clean the nasal cavity with normal saline 2-3 times a day.

3. Do a good job in indoor cleaning: Usually, you can use high-temperature steam cleaning products or mite removal instruments to wash sheets, quilt covers and pillowcases more often.

4. Regular physical exercise: Moderate exercise will stimulate the improvement of immunity, but if the exercise load is too large, it will also reduce immunity, so physical exercise must be gradual, persistent and adequate.

There are always a few allergic people around everyone. Hurry up and forward it to someone you care about ~

Keynote Speech by the Supreme Leader at the Opening Ceremony of the 10th Ministerial Conference of China-Arab Cooperation Forum (full text)

  Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, May 30th

  Deepen cooperation and forge ahead into the future.

  Promote the construction of China-Arab destiny community and run out of acceleration.

  — — 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

  According to the relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Transport, the Highway Bureau of the Ministry of Transport, together with the Road Network Center and other units, has formed a national road network operation analysis report based on the comprehensive operation characteristics of the road network during the May 1 holiday and the current situation of epidemic prevention and control in China, which has made a judgment on the operation characteristics of the road network during the May 1 holiday.

  The report pointed out that due to factors such as regional epidemic prevention and control, the operation of the national highway network will show five characteristics, such as a significant decline in traffic, an increase in congestion, an increase in the proportion of trucks, a large regional difference, and obvious tidal characteristics.

  At present, the situation of epidemic prevention and control in China is still complicated and severe, and all localities strictly organize and implement prevention and control. Many provinces advocate that holidays should not leave the province or leave the city unless necessary, and public travel will be greatly restrained. The report predicts that during the May 1 ST period, the average daily traffic of expressways in China will be about 27 million vehicles, which is 49% lower than that during the May 1 ST holiday in 2021 (52.92 million vehicles) and 40% lower than that during the May 1 ST holiday in 2020 (45.28 million vehicles).

  It is estimated that the daily average cross-sectional traffic volume of trunk highways in ordinary countries and provinces will decrease by about 18%-22% compared with 2021 and by about 12%-16% compared with 2020.

  Due to the need of epidemic prevention and control, in some areas, more than 12,000 epidemic prevention and control inspection stations have been set up in the outer square of expressway toll stations, provincial boundaries and municipal boundaries of ordinary highways. Due to the concentrated travel time of the public during the festival, there will be short-term congestion or slow traffic in the sections near the epidemic prevention inspection points, but there will be no long-term and large-scale traffic congestion.

  With the gradual implementation of logistics requirements, the freight traffic has been on the rise recently. It is estimated that during the holiday period, the daily average freight traffic will be 5 million vehicles, accounting for about 18% of the daily average freight traffic, which is about 8 percentage points higher than that in 2021 (10.48% of the daily average freight traffic).

  Due to the different scope and degree of epidemic spread, the traffic flow between different regions is quite different, with the traffic flow in the Yangtze River Delta region dropping sharply, and the relative traffic flow in Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and Chengdu-Chongqing regions is relatively high.

  Most provinces advocate not leaving the province or leaving the city unless necessary. Considering the public’s demand for holiday travel, it is expected that the holiday will be mainly in the suburbs, showing a tidal feature centered on the regional central city, and the departure and return from the city have strong directionality in time and flow direction, showing a certain degree of "tidal" phenomenon. At the beginning of the holiday, every morning, the traffic in the direction of leaving the city in each regional central city is large; At the end of the holiday and every afternoon, there is a lot of traffic in the direction of entering the city.

  During the holiday period, the average daily traffic of expressways in the "four poles" region was about 16.8 million vehicles, which was about 46% lower than that in 2021. The traffic in the Yangtze River Delta region decreased the most, reaching about 73%, and the traffic in Chengdu-Chongqing region decreased by about 16%, with the smallest decline.

  Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region. It is estimated that the average daily traffic of expressways in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region during the holidays is about 4.2 million vehicles, which is about 45% lower than that in 2021 (7.71 million vehicles) and about 38% lower than that in 2020 (6.86 million vehicles). During the holidays, the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region mainly travels in the suburbs, visiting relatives and friends, and the expressways around Beijing, Tianjin, Shijiazhuang and other cities show a trend of "leaving the city in the morning and entering the city in the afternoon", and the traffic flow is still dominated by passenger cars. It is estimated that the daily average passenger traffic of expressways is about 3.6 million, and the daily average truck traffic is about 600,000.

  Yangtze river delta region. The overall epidemic situation in the Yangtze River Delta region is grim. Since April 11th, Shanghai has implemented classified and differentiated control management according to three categories: closed control area, control area and prevention area. The characteristics of multi-source and multi-point epidemic in Zhejiang province are still persistent; Anhui advocates that the public should not leave the province or leave the city unless necessary; Jiangsu, Suzhou and other municipal districts further upgraded epidemic prevention and control measures, and advocated non-essential non-flow. It is estimated that the holiday trips will be significantly reduced, and the daily average traffic of expressways is about 3.1 million, which is about 73% lower than that of 2021 (11.43 million vehicles) and about 66% lower than that of 2020 (9.04 million vehicles). It is estimated that the daily average passenger traffic of the expressway is about 2.2 million, and the daily average truck traffic is about 800,000.

  Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. At present, the production and living order in Greater Bay Area has basically been restored, but the epidemic prevention and control is still cautious. It is expected that long-distance travel and inter-provincial travel during holidays will still be greatly suppressed, while short-and medium-distance travel in Zhou Bianyou and local areas in the province may still recover. Generally speaking, the number of trips in Greater Bay Area during the holidays will be less than that in previous years. The average daily traffic of expressways is about 5.6 million, which is about 25% lower than that in 2021 (7.51 million) and about 10% lower than that in 2020 (6.15 million). It is estimated that buses are still the main road trips, with the daily average passenger traffic of expressways being about 4.5 million and the daily average truck traffic being about 900,000.

  Chengdu-Chongqing area. It is estimated that the daily average traffic of Chengdu-Chongqing regional expressways is about 3.8 million vehicles, which is about 16% lower than that in 2021 (4.63 million vehicles) and basically the same as that in 2020 (3.84 million vehicles). It is estimated that the daily average passenger traffic of expressway is about 3.5 million, and the daily average truck traffic is about 400,000.

  The report also conducted research on congested road sections, toll stations and service areas. The report pointed out that it is expected that the traffic congestion after 14: 00 on the day before the holiday (April 29) will be significantly higher than daily. The first day of the holiday (April 30th) is the peak travel time, and the peak time is from 9: 00 to 12: 00, and the peak time appears from 10: 00 to 11: 00. The overall traffic pressure on the trip is higher than that on the return trip. The high-speed return journey is scattered. On May 3rd, the return journey was relatively concentrated, with the peak from 15: 00 to 19: 00, and the peak appeared at 16: 00 to 17: 00.

  Easy-to-jam slow-moving sections. During the holiday period, it is expected that the outbound and inbound sections of the national expressways will be prone to congestion and slow down, as shown in the following table.

  In terms of weather, it is expected that sunny to cloudy weather will prevail in most areas and most of the time during the May Day holiday this year, with good overall diffusion conditions and no large-scale foggy weather. However, it is necessary to take precautions against the adverse effects on highway traffic caused by strong precipitation in Fujian, Jiangxi, Hunan, Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan and Tibet, and low visibility weather caused by sand blowing or floating dust weather in eastern and southern Xinjiang basins, central and western Inner Mongolia and western Gansu.

  It is estimated that from April 30th to May 2nd, due to the moderate rain, some sections of expressways such as Beijing-Taiwan, Quannan, Shanghai-Kunming, Lanhai and Shanghai-Chongqing and national highways such as G224, G317, G318 and G213 in Zhejiang, Fujian, Jiangxi, Hunan, Guangxi, Hainan, Sichuan, Chongqing and Yunnan are at high risk of slippery. Affected by heavy rain, the risk of water accumulation in some sections of expressways such as Shenhai, Jiguang, Beijing, Hong Kong and Macao, Baomao, Guangkun and Shankun in Fujian, Jiangxi, Guangdong, Hunan, Guangxi and Yunnan is high. In addition, from April 30th to May 1st and May 4th, due to the influence of sand blowing or floating dust, there is a high risk of low visibility in some sections of Erguang and Lianhuo expressways and G315 national highway in Inner Mongolia, Gansu and Xinjiang.

Golden Rooster Award Special Planning | Film technical workers hiding behind the scenes


1905 movie network news Golden roosters and crows, striding for a new journey. "Today’s Film Review" specially plans a series of programs for the 35th Golden Rooster Award of Chinese films, and pays attention to the film technical workers who are hidden behind the scenes nominated by this Golden Rooster Award. These photographers, artists and sound recorders who work behind the scenes of movies are often little known. What efforts have they made behind the scenes to get the frame-by-frame light and shadow presented on the big screen?


Once the nomination list of the 35th Chinese Golden Rooster Award was announced, it triggered a wide-ranging discussion. In addition to the selection of the best film and the best actor and actress, there are some awards that can be said to be unpopular in the film festival, such as the best photography award, the best recording award, the best art award and other technical awards. These awards may be unfamiliar to the audience, but they are full of weight for the film industry practitioners.



Shadan, a film critic, said: "The Golden Rooster Award, as the most well-known award in China, is a very important moment to bring out these behind-the-scenes heroes, because the art form of film is considered to be a more humanistic creation, but in fact, it has been developing a lot of technology since its birth, supporting the continuous presentation and perfection of this art, and there are many heroes behind it that you may not be so familiar with, but now we can enjoy such a perfect film form, and there are many efforts of these big coffees.



What is pleasing to the eye and immersive is really a matter for a reason and a matter for someone. In this list, there are about four to five films for each award, which are carefully selected from the cinema films of the past year. For example, the films nominated for the photography awards have taken the lead at the beginning, climbing up from the bottom of a building with a particularly eye-catching long lens, and the audience has also read the scenes of educating children in every household with the camera’s perspective. This scheduling needs to make the film show a huge amount of information in one shot, and this information needs a large number of actors and behind-the-scenes staff to cooperate with the camera, and finally popularize the theme of children in the film and let the audience see the film from one shot.



It can be said that the photographer is the eyes of the director or a movie, and in the new era, filming is increasingly testing the photographer’s imagination. For example, the visual effect of the film is completely built in the shed, and photography should realize the director’s design from scratch in this process, which is well reflected in Moon Man, from the formation of art design and stunt to the final collocation of photography. Shadan mentioned: "The visual shock of Moon Man’s fine arts is very strong, and the treatment of the color block is very eye-catching. The main part is divided into two parts: blue and yellow. You can imagine that these two colors represent the earth and the moon, and they are interspersed with each other. Through such a very eye-catching collocation, everyone can quickly feel that this is a story about the connection between the moon and the earth." That’s true, and blue usually reminds people of sci-fi themes, while yellow gives people a sense of comedy. The two color systems not only explain the theme to the audience, but also show their own types of sci-fi comedies.



In this nomination list for the best art, besides Moon Man and Mozart in Outer Space, there are also such low-cost works, which can be nominated and compete with several blockbusters, so it must have its own uniqueness in the art scene. The film is a script game in a closed space, and there are not so many scenes in it, so we should make a strong contrast between the villas in different time and space in the film. With the development of the whole incident, the once prosperous villas gradually declined, and the artists made some ingenious designs and placed many withered and black plants, which on the one hand separated time and space itself, and also showed that the theme of the film was moving towards suspense and darkness step by step. This kind of detail processing plays a great role in the audience’s inner hints.



Film is not only a visual expression, but also a sound expression. Sound design is very important in the film, and it is also a well-designed detail for the audience to be there and hear the film in the cinema. When filming, it’s not just to record the live sound directly, it’s just a part of the radio, and the actual production needs a lot of complicated processes and some artistic design. Many sounds are not recorded on the set, but simulated in various ways.



Shadan mentioned: "This film was shortlisted for the best recording award. Anita Mui is a person who is particularly good at singing, so songs are the most important element in this film. However, it can’t be said that Anita Mui’s voice is not used at all, and Wang Danni’s voice is completely similar to Anita Mui’s, which requires a lot of skills. Wang Danni performed the farewell performance in "Anita Mui", a heavy scene in the Red Survey Gymnasium. She mixed the original soundtrack of Anita Mui with the voice that was later sung again. Everyone sounded like the original soundtrack, but it was actually sung by the actors themselves, which was seamless. Let everyone feel that at this moment, Anita Mui’s spirit and voice reappeared again in Wang Danni’s interpretation. "



The finalists of this year’s Golden Rooster Award represent the responsibility and responsibility of filmmakers in the new era to strut, work hard and move forward bravely. In the next journey, every filmmaker needs to constantly create films that are closer to people’s lives according to the main theme of the times and express good stories in audio-visual language. Such an important award, represented by the Golden Rooster Award, is not only to commend the traditional awards such as the best film and the best director that everyone is most concerned about, but also to gather together at this time for a grand commendation for all kinds of jobs, because every link plays a very important role in whether the future film creation can develop better and meet the needs of the audience.
