CCTV News:The National Bureau of Statistics released it on April 11th. In March, the national consumer price index CPI rose by 0.1% year-on-year. From 1— On average, in March, CPI was the same as that in the same period of last year.

From a year-on-year perspective, the national consumer price index CPI rose by 0.1% in March, down 0.6 percentage points from the previous month, mainly due to the fall in the prices of food and travel services. The core CPI excluding food and energy prices rose by 0.6% year-on-year, maintaining a moderate increase.

Zhang Xuewu, director of the Analysis and Forecasting Division of the Price Monitoring Center of the National Development and Reform Commission, said: "Among the eight categories of goods and services that constitute CPI, except for the decline in food, transportation and communication prices, the prices of the other six categories have all increased year-on-year, indicating that the current low price operation is structural and phased, and the recovery of consumer demand has not changed."

In addition, in March, with the recovery of industrial production after the holiday, the supply of industrial products was relatively sufficient, and the national industrial producer’s ex-factory price index PPI decreased by 0.1% from the previous month, which was narrower than that of the previous month.

Zhang Xuewu said that in the later period, as China’s economy continues to pick up, the demand for goods and services continues to recover, and the impact of the "tail-up" is gradually weakening, it is expected that prices will pick up moderately.

Goldman Sachs raised China’s economic growth forecast for the first quarter of this year to 5%.

On April 11th, Goldman Sachs Group, an international investment bank, pointed out in its latest research report that based on the strong performance of China’s manufacturing industry this year, Goldman Sachs raised the growth forecast of China’s economy in the first quarter of this year and the whole year of this year.

China Macroeconomic Research Team of Goldman Sachs Research Department believes that in the first two months of this year, China’s macroeconomic data was better than expected as a whole, and a number of recent data confirmed China’s economic resilience, especially the strong performance of manufacturing industry. Therefore, they raised the growth forecast of China’s economy in the first quarter of this year, and expected China’s economy to grow by 5% year-on-year.

Flash Hui, chief China economist of Goldman Sachs, said: "China’s industrial production data in February was higher than expected, and China’s actual export volume increased significantly in February and January. We saw official figures that the total export volume in February and January increased by 20% year-on-year, and the high-frequency data in March was basically stable."

Looking forward to the whole year of this year, the China Macroeconomic Research Team of Goldman Sachs Research Department believes that there is still room for the China government to exert its strength at the macro-policy level. When necessary, the innovation and coordination of policy tools such as fiscal policy and monetary policy can be strengthened to ensure the stable operation of the macro economy. Goldman Sachs raised China’s economic growth forecast for the whole year to 5% in its research report.

Flash Hui said: "We see that there is a certain reserve on the policy side. For example, if the ultra-long-term special national debt of one trillion yuan is issued, it will have a certain impact on the liquidity between banks. The central bank may use RRR cuts and other liquidity management methods to deal with it. Overall, due to the increase in economic growth in the first quarter, our annual figures (economic growth expectations) rose to 5.0%. "

Promote large-scale equipment renewal and trade-in of consumer goods in various fields.

The State Council Information Office held a policy briefing on April 11th, and relevant officials of the National Development and Reform Commission and other departments introduced that specific implementation plans in various fields are being released and implemented around the Action Plan for Promoting Large-scale Equipment Renewal and Trade-in of Consumer Goods (hereinafter referred to as the Action Plan).

According to the specific objectives of the Action Plan, by 2027, the scale of equipment investment in the fields of industry, agriculture, construction, transportation, education, cultural tourism and medical care will increase by more than 25% compared with 2023; The recycling volume of scrapped cars has doubled compared with 2023, the trading volume of used cars has increased by 45% compared with 2023, and the recycling volume of used household appliances has increased by 30% compared with 2023. The relevant person in charge of the National Development and Reform Commission said that there is huge market space for large-scale equipment renewal and trade-in of consumer goods.

Zhao Chenxi, deputy director of the National Development and Reform Commission, said: "According to estimates by relevant institutions, the annual demand for equipment investment and renewal in key areas such as industry and agriculture in China is more than 5 trillion yuan, and the demand for replacement of automobiles and household appliances is also above one trillion yuan. This action can not only promote consumption, stimulate investment, effectively enhance economic vitality, but also increase advanced production capacity, promote energy conservation and carbon reduction, reduce security risks, and achieve high-quality development. "

It is understood that among the current equipment stock assets in the whole society, the industrial equipment stock assets are about 28 trillion yuan, accounting for over 70%, which is the focus of equipment renewal. On April 9, seven departments, including the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, also released implementation plans to promote the upgrading of equipment in the industrial field.

Shan Zhongde, Vice Minister of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, said: "We will focus on key industries such as petrochemical, steel, nonferrous metals, building materials, machinery, automobiles, light industry, textiles and electronics, and comprehensively promote equipment renewal and technological transformation. By 2027, we will strive to achieve an increase of more than 25% in equipment investment in the industrial sector compared with 2023. "

In response to social concerns about financial support, the relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Finance responded that the central government will guide large-scale equipment renewal from four aspects. At the same time, adhere to the linkage between the central government and local governments to promote the trade-in of durable consumer goods such as automobiles and household appliances.

Fu Jinling, director of the Department of Economic Construction of the Ministry of Finance, said: "The central government has given priority support to promoting the trade-in of automobiles. Give fixed subsidies to consumers who scrap high-emission passenger cars or qualified new energy passenger cars and buy energy-saving or new energy vehicles. Encourage qualified places to co-ordinate the promotion of household appliances and other durable consumer goods, and ensure that ‘ Real money and silver ’ The policy of benefiting the people goes directly to consumers. "

The annual investment scale of equipment in China’s industrial field exceeds 4 trillion yuan, and the demand for renewal continues to grow.

It can be seen that the investment scale of equipment in the industrial field accounts for a relatively large proportion of equipment investment in the whole society. Which equipment is the focus of updating in the next step? What are the specific update directions? Let’s listen to the experts’ interpretation.

In 2023, the national industrial equipment investment scale reached 4.4 trillion yuan, an increase of 8.7%. According to industry experts, many machines and equipment in China rank first in the world. With the continuous advancement of new industrialization, the demand for equipment renewal will be increasing.

Zhang Li, president of China Electronic and Information Industry Development Research Institute, said: "We will promote industries where the overall production equipment such as industrial machinery, agricultural machinery, instruments and meters, construction machinery, light industry, textiles, etc. is at a low level, and eliminate a number of backward and inefficient equipment that has been in service for an extended period. For industries where aviation, photovoltaics, power batteries, biological fermentation and other production equipment are in the middle and high level as a whole, enterprises are encouraged to update a number of advanced equipment with high technology, high efficiency and high reliability, and continuously improve the production efficiency and technical level of the industry. "

According to experts, the large-scale equipment renewal and digital transformation in the industrial field is a major focus. Strive to achieve more than 90% penetration rate of digital R&D design tools for industrial enterprises above designated size and more than 75% numerical control rate of key processes by 2027.

Zhu Min, director of the Institute of Informatization and Industrialization Integration of China ICT Institute, said: "For some traditional industries, it is necessary to speed up the application of general intelligent manufacturing equipment such as CNC machine tools, industrial robots and intelligent detection, and realize quality improvement, cost reduction and efficiency improvement in key production links; On the other hand, for some high-end and advantageous industries, we can accelerate the upgrading of advanced equipment such as intelligent complete sets of equipment and flexible production units, and comprehensively upgrade the entire manufacturing process. "

Chongqing: Shuangqiao successfully crossed chengdu-chongqing railway at the same turn.

On April 10th, a 14,000-ton double swivel bridge across chengdu-chongqing railway was under construction in Diaoyuzui District, dadukou district, Chongqing, which took 110 minutes to realize precise swivel.

Driven by the hydraulic traction system, the double-swing bridge across chengdu-chongqing railway on the No.1 road in Chongqing Fishing Mouth Area rotates in the counterclockwise direction synchronously, realizing the left swing of 90 degrees and the right swing of 88 degrees, accurately butting with the main bridge and successfully crossing chengdu-chongqing railway.

The No.1 road in Fishing Mouth Area spans both Dabin Road and chengdu-chongqing railway. The span bridge is 191 meters long and 34 meters wide, with six lanes in both directions, and the single bridge weighs more than 7,000 tons. It is reported that the bridge is constructed by turning, which can avoid the influence on the normal passage of 34 trains and freight trains in China and Europe every day. At the same time, when it is completed and opened to traffic, it will improve the traffic links between the Diaoyu Peninsula and other areas in Chongqing, greatly reduce the transit time and greatly improve the travel conditions of the residents in the area.

Qinghai: the vast Gobi is now a strange landscape of "colorful quicksand"

Recently, in Haixi Prefecture, Qinghai, the reporter photographed the strange landscape of "colorful quicksand". Let’s follow the camera and have a look.

In the picture, the colorful gravel seems to be a palette of nature and dumped on the vast Gobi, embellishing the original monotonous yellow sand with colorful colors. It is understood that the formation of "colorful quicksand" is inseparable from the unique geological conditions of Saishiteng Mountain. The sandy stones in this Gobi are rich in various mineral components. After a long period of wind and rain erosion and sunshine exposure, they gradually show colorful colors. The long-term grinding of sand and sand not only shapes the unique shape of sand and stone, but also gathers them into a beautiful "quicksand sea", as if it were a flowing ink painting on the earth palette.

　 　 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.

In 2004, the London edition of Goat or Who is Sylvia? "stills

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.

The new energy vehicle market is full of flowers, and all kinds of new cars "you can sing and I will debut". But in terms of brand strength, a brand that can stand the test of time can truly show its "heroic nature."

In the hundred years when the automobile industry has been in a sea of waves, countless brands have been "washed out by waves", leaving some brands with real car-making background and user thinking. Perhaps some consumers will think: what kind of ability do century-old international brands have in electrification strategy?

Take Toyota as an example, this century-old Japanese brand has 26 years of experience in electrification accumulation, and its hybrid models are also selling well over 20 million vehicles worldwide.

Today, Toyota Motor has brought more quality hybrid products to users through the joint venture company GAC Toyota. Perhaps this model just solves the "stereotype" of some consumers about the lack of electrification reserves of joint venture brands.

With the application of the fifth generation intelligent electric hybrid dual-engine technology, the technology accumulation achieves reliable quality.

As mentioned above, Toyota’s electrification technology is not "fledgling", but has accumulated technology for many years. Toyota’s new energy vehicle has been running for 26 years since the first generation of electric hybrid technology appeared. At the beginning of the 21st century, Toyota’s electric hybrid technology has been introduced into China by GAC Toyota through Camry.

Mr. Zhang, the owner of the car, told Shell Finance that the old Camry twin-engine was very reliable. It had been used for 12 years and the driving mileage exceeded 100,000 kilometers, but there was still no fault in battery technology and hybrid system.

Nowadays, the intelligent electric hybrid dual-engine technology has been innovated to the fifth generation, and it has been quickly carried in Lei Ling and Fenglanda, the core products of GAC Toyota, and both products have attracted a lot of attention from consumers. In the future, more models of GAC Toyota will also popularize this technology. This not only demonstrates the determination of GAC Toyota to continue to promote electrification development, but also shows the full confidence of enterprises in their own electric hybrid technology.

At the Shanghai Auto Show, the Fenglanda model equipped with the fifth-generation intelligent electric hybrid twin-engine technology has been officially launched, and the product price range is 149,800 yuan-184,800 yuan.

For the fifth-generation intelligent electric hybrid dual-engine technology carried by Flanders, there are more technological innovations than before. The two core innovations are full-speed domain support for motor intervention and more gratifying fuel consumption performance.

According to the official information released, the fifth-generation intelligent electric hybrid dual-engine technology has realized the innovation and upgrading of the three-electric system, providing different motor power in the full-speed domain, which not only allows the vehicle to get the experience comparable to that of pure electric vehicles when accelerating, but also lasts longer in the latter part of acceleration.

In terms of power, Fenglanda is the first to take a 2.0L fifth-generation intelligent electric hybrid twin engine, with a maximum output of 144 kW and a maximum horsepower of nearly 200 horsepower, making the power output more sensitive and powerful.

The fifth-generation intelligent electric hybrid twin-engine that does not need to be plugged in has no fear of extreme environments such as extreme cold and heat, and there will be no worries about battery pack recharge when it brings high-quality driving experience. In terms of fuel consumption, the fuel consumption of this entry-level SUV under WLTC condition is only 4.57 liters /100 kilometers.

With the reliable accumulation of historical experience, brand-new intelligent, efficient and refreshing product experience, and worry-free vehicle conditions, GAC Toyota gave the answer that "you can have your cake and eat it" on the road of embracing carbon neutrality.

Feng Landa’s entry is high and accurate.L3Level driving assistance experience becomes a brand label

In the past, joint venture brands often hesitated when buying a car because of "insufficient configuration of low-middle models". However, as a pioneer, GAC Toyota has broken the pain point of this industry and even surpassed some independent brands that win by "configuration".

As the first SUV model of GAC Toyota equipped with the fifth-generation intelligent electric hybrid twin-engine technology, Fenglanda not only has high-quality power system, higher-level auxiliary driving system and other technologies, but also makes this entry-level SUV shine.

The Fenglanda intelligent electric hybrid twin-engine comes standard with 28 high-value configurations, such as 7 airbags, intelligent keyless entry system and high-level assisted driving (quasi-L3 level), which all show the sincerity of the brand to embrace intelligence and adhere to user safety.

As a joint venture brand, GAC Toyota is making every effort to promote intelligent changes and bring users reliable assisted driving functions and high-quality intelligent cockpit experience.

It is reported that the Fenglanda intelligent electric hybrid twin engine is equipped with the leading T-Pilot intelligent driving assistance system at the same level, and has achieved the standard of the whole system.

The system relies on hardware and software upgrade, which can avoid 41% fatal driving scenarios. Compared with competing products, Fenglanda’s active driver assistance technology has four main characteristics: maturity, comprehensiveness, originality and low threshold, which gives Fenglanda leapfrog active safety performance.

GAC Toyota’s quasi-L3 level assisted driving technology stems from Toyota’s accumulation in the global automobile market. The technology aims at "zero error", relies on Toyota’s global user big data, is developed based on 12.5 billion kilometers of intelligent driving zero accident data, and has the world’s first PDA and EDSS systems, which can improve driving safety and reduce driving burden in more complex road conditions. Furthermore, vehicles can also support OTA upgrades, which are often used frequently.

Specifically, two "pioneering technologies" applied by GAC Toyota are PDA predictive active driving assistance system and EDSS emergency driving stop system. The former can slow down or brake pedestrians, bicycles or cars passing laterally at a long distance at a speed of 30-80km/h, no matter what weather (rain, snow, sunny day, cloudy day, etc.). If collision is unavoidable, it can actively turn to 0.5m in the opposite direction of the object to avoid over-approaching.

In the latter case, if the system determines that the driver can’t continue driving because of fatigue or acute illness, the vehicle will automatically slow down. When the driver is still not operated after continuous warning, the system can automatically slow down and stop in the lane, and turn on the double flash to wait for rescue.

It is worth mentioning that GAC Toyota has launched the slogan of "equal rights in science and technology" while the whole system comes standard with assisted driving functions. With the support of this concept, GAC Toyota will gradually bring high-level assisted driving functions to its products.

A number of configuration upgrades to create an intelligent cockpit and embrace young users.

In addition to the improvement of vehicle intelligence and the innovation of entry configuration, GAC Toyota has also made many upgrades in the field of intelligent cockpit. Fenglanda intelligent electric hybrid twin engine is equipped with Toyota’s latest Toyota Space intelligent cockpit and Toyota Connect intelligent interconnection technology. Among them, dual big screens, three smart platforms, mobile phone interconnection, digital keys and other functions bring a number of leapfrog intelligent configurations, and the experience is comparable to that of a luxury brand SUV with a level of 300,000.

Specifically, the Fenglanda intelligent electric hybrid twin engine adopts the car-level car chip from Renesas, one of the top 10 semiconductor companies in the world, and its LCD instrument panel is 12.3 inches in size, providing four styles and three interface designs, which can be linked with the central control panel.

The central control screen is a 10.25-inch touch screen, and users can control the air conditioning, ambient lights, doors and windows of the vehicle by touch. Yes, this entry-level joint venture SUV also provides consumers with small eggs like atmosphere lights. Of course, users can also communicate with vehicles by voice, set wake-up words, and perform voice control on windows, skylights, air conditioners, playing music, navigation and WeChat. Getting on WeChat is also one of the few technologies in the industry. It can be seen that GAC Toyota has made efforts in the field of intelligence. It can be said that GAC Toyota is a pioneer of joint venture brands to bring smart, young and convenient experiences to consumers.

It is reported that the voice assistant does not need to wait from wake-up to instruction, and the system can continue to listen for 30 seconds after one wake-up and can continue the conversation. The language supports input and output of Mandarin and Cantonese, and supports mixed input of Chinese and English.

In addition to intelligence, Fenglanda intelligent electric hybrid twin engine is also sincere in other aspects. In terms of appearance, the vehicle has many choices of appearance. Up to 11 body colors are available, including 4 two-color bodies, and sports versions are also available.

Although it is an entry-level SUV, the space performance of Fenglanda is not too good. The height of the rear row of the vehicle reaches 980 mm, and it is designed with adjustable angle of two rows of chairs and raised doorframes to achieve better ride comfort.

In addition, the vehicle also has the front and rear row Type-C interfaces, automatic folding exterior rearview mirror with heating function, S-FLOW intelligent airflow control function, nanoe?X air purification technology and other leapfrog configurations.

GAC Toyota is relying on its own heritage and sincerity to the market to create products that stir the intelligent track. This entry-level intelligent electric hybrid SUV is the sincerity of the enterprise. From the new car, we can’t help feeling that GAC Toyota is no longer a brand that users can rest assured after buying it, and is no longer linked with enterprises. It is a brand based on quality, embracing the new era, leading the trend, creating and growing together with users.

tagNowadays, it is difficult for us to give an answer whether the joint venture brand is out of date under the wave of electrification and intelligence. However, we know that GAC Toyota, a brand with rich heritage and creativity, not only has not fallen behind, but also continues to show its strong brand strength in the new era while adhering to quality. Whether intelligent or electrified, enterprises are constantly innovating and even leading the times.

At Toyota booth of Shanghai Auto Show, bZ brand-new concept car also made its debut, which will be the second bZ series model of GAC Toyota to accelerate the expansion of pure electric product matrix after bZ4X.

It is reported that this new car will be jointly developed by Guangzhou Automobile Group, Toyota and Guangzhou Automobile Toyota, demonstrating the strong combination of Toyota technology and Guangzhou Automobile technology in localization application.

This model is expected to be introduced in 2024. The official of GAC Toyota said that in the future, GAC Toyota will further open up cooperation, actively promote on-site research and development, continue to practice the electrification strategy, and make full use of the resources of both shareholders to electrify and bring high-value pure electric vehicles to users.

GAC Toyota, which is so sincere, believes that it can not only win users through the fifth-generation intelligent electric hybrid twin-engine and quasi-L3-class assisted driving, but also its electric vehicle products are worth looking forward to.

　　Jinghua Times News (Reporter Jia Ting Meng Fanze) Yesterday morning, the reporter learned from the press conference of the Ministry of Culture that 19 webcasting platforms, such as Betta and Huya, were included in the list of illegal and illegal Internet cultural activities because they were suspected of containing obscenity and violence. Liu Qiang, deputy director of the Cultural Market Department of the Ministry of Culture, said that a blacklist system will be established for online platforms and anchors that repeatedly violate the rules, and credit punishment will be imposed, and business activities of violators will be prohibited or restricted.

　　19 penalty results will be announced in time.

　　Liu Qiang, deputy director of the Cultural Market Department of the Ministry of Culture, said that there are two main types of violations in the webcast platform investigated this time. One is that the live broadcast platform for performing arts provides online performances that promote obscenity, pornography and harm social morality. Some "anchors" sexually tease and hint through body and language, and there are violations such as "flashing" and "teasing" to win the audience’s attention and attract the audience to pay for virtual gifts, which is vulgar and indecent and has a bad social impact. Furthermore, the game live broadcast platform provides the game content display with gambling, violence and abetting crime, such as the live broadcast of gangster-themed games "Grand Theft Auto (GTA)5" and "Dragon 0", etc., with bloody pictures and abetting crime, and the live broadcast of illegal game "Zha Jinhua", etc., which promotes gambling behavior and violates social public order and good customs.

　　Therefore, in order to standardize the operation order of Internet cultural market such as online performances, the Ministry of Culture issued the 25th batch of investigation list of illegal Internet cultural activities, and 19 online live broadcast platforms such as Betta, Tiger Tooth Live, YY, Panda TV, Battle Flag TV, Dragon Ball Live, Liujianfang and 9158 were included in the investigation list for allegedly providing Internet cultural products that promote obscenity, violence, instigate crimes and endanger social morality.

　　Liu Qiang introduced that the webcasting platform listed in the investigation list has clear violation facts and sufficient evidence. The live broadcasting platform involved in the case should actively cooperate with the investigation, and should strictly abide by the Interim Provisions on the Administration of Internet Culture and strictly implement the responsibility of content self-examination. The Ministry of Culture has deployed comprehensive law enforcement agencies in relevant regional cultural markets to investigate and deal with the enterprises involved in the case according to law, and announced the punishment results in a timely manner.

　　Violation of the "anchor" will be blacklisted

　　Liu Qiang introduced that in the next step, the Ministry of Culture will focus on establishing a long-term management mechanism, and plan to introduce policies to strengthen the management of online performances, and standardize the key links of online performances in terms of management of business entities and post-event supervision.

　　In addition, a warning list and blacklist system for illegal webcasting platforms and illegal "anchors" will be established, and the behaviors of webcasting platforms and "anchors" will be restrained through the credit punishment mechanism to strengthen industry self-discipline. For anchors who repeatedly violate the rules, the platform will be required not to accept them for anchor business; For live broadcast platforms that repeatedly violate the rules, it is possible to stop providing their content.

　　Liu Qiang said that the current popular mobile APP is not an extra-legal place. It is similar in content and form to the webcast platform and will be included in the management process.

　　> > enterprise response

　　We will continue to improve the platform supervision mechanism.

　　Companies including Betta TV, Tiger Tooth Live, 9158, YY, etc. all responded that they will actively cooperate with the actions of relevant state departments, strengthen the audit management of the platform, and jointly purify the network environment.

　　Betta TV said that yesterday morning, Betta and a number of peers participated in the forum of network culture business units organized by the Ministry of Culture, listened to the publicity and management requirements of laws and regulations, and jointly discussed the development norms of the industry. Betta hopes to provide users with quality live broadcast service through its own efforts.

　　Huya Live also said that it will always adhere to a positive and healthy operation idea, resist vulgar content, resolutely support and cooperate with the actions of relevant state departments, and call on peers to jointly safeguard the green environment of the industry and promote the healthy development of the industry.

　　Tiange Group, which belongs to 9158, responded that this time it was notified by the Ministry of Culture that individual anchors in the platform had performed vulgar performances, and the group had closed the rooms and anchors in time.

　　"The results announced by the Ministry of Culture today are a wake-up call for us and the whole industry, which will enable all platforms in the industry to continue to strengthen the supervision of their own platforms and more effectively promote the sound development of the live broadcast industry." Tiange Group said that they will invest more manpower, material resources and financial resources, continue to strengthen the monitoring and management of the platform, and have the confidence to do a better job in platform supervision.

　　YY Entertainment responded that it will continue to improve the platform supervision mechanism and strictly investigate all kinds of illegal and vulgar live broadcast content. The penalties include closing the live broadcast, titles, confiscation of income and deposits.

　　> > news background

　　Frequent pornographic incidents on live broadcast platforms

　　It is reported that in the past two years, webcasting has rapidly developed into a new Internet culture format, and live broadcast forms such as performing arts live broadcast and game live broadcast have emerged one after another, attracting the attention of a large number of netizens, and the market scale has grown rapidly. According to statistics, the number of users of the webcast platform has reached 200 million, and there are about three or four thousand live broadcast "rooms" online at the same time during the daily peak hours of large-scale live broadcast platforms, and the number of users can reach two or three million.

　　At present, there are about 30 enterprises engaged in webcasting in Beijing, and the industry scale is constantly expanding. Since the second half of 2015, obscene and pornographic incidents represented by "live broadcast creating people" have occurred frequently, violating social morality and even gambling and drug-related problems have occurred frequently, and even some enterprises have used this as a means to create gimmicks for financing and listing, and online pornography is facing new challenges. In this context, the Beijing Network Culture Association launched the activity of negotiating a self-discipline convention, taking regulatory measures to solve the problems existing in the current live broadcast platform and implementing the main responsibility.

　　The day before yesterday, the heads of more than 20 major enterprises engaged in online performance (live broadcast) such as Baidu, Sina, Sohu and iQiyi jointly issued the "Beijing Webcast Industry Self-discipline Convention", promising that all anchors must be certified in real names from April 18; The webcast room must be marked with watermark; Content storage time is not less than 15 days for future reference; For anchors who broadcast political, gun-related, drug-related, violent and pornographic content, serious cases will be blacklisted.

　　Last night, the reporter observed on several live broadcast platforms, such as fighting fish and battle flags, and found that the convention has not been formally implemented, and many platforms have imposed certain restrictions on the performance and dress of the anchor. For example, "it is forbidden to spread vulgar and pornographic pictures, sounds, words, games and video information, causing vulgar interaction in the venue" and "it is forbidden for women to deliberately expose sensitive parts such as cleavage and buttocks". The flag platform also requires the anchor to maintain the order of the live broadcast room and deal with the illegal audience in time. However, in some live broadcast platforms, there are still naked female anchors, and there are also many viewers who leave messages to tease and ask the anchors to "take off their clothes" and "get up and watch their legs".

　　From a concept car pieced together with accessories of other models to an urban leisure SUV that is popular all over the world, RAV4 has created a new history of four-wheel drive, which not only makes the bold idea of "urban leisure SUV" become the development trend of small and medium-sized displacement SUVs at present, but what is more commendable is that it is still the leader in this field after more than ten years of fierce market competition. Therefore, it doesn’t matter whether it was born with Toyota’s unique eye or by mistake. What is important is that it has written a wonderful stroke in the history of automobile development for more than 100 years. Now, let’s go back to 1989, trace its 16-year legendary experience along the growth footprint of RAV4, and expect the upcoming domestic RAV4 to continue its unbeaten legend.

The earliest RAV4

　　The first generation RAV 4 (1994-October 2000)

　　After Toyota introduced RAV4 in 1994, the history of the 4×4 vehicle market changed. From the briefing in 1986, we got a glimpse of its "shocking" predecessor. By the time the concept model appeared at the Tokyo Motor Show in 1989, this 4×4 off-road vehicle, which later became the trend benchmark, had gone through a long "gestation period". After a thorough makeover, the concept car of RAV4 appeared at the Tokyo Motor Show in 1993. Finally, at the Geneva Motor Show in 1994, the official production version of RAV4 was finally born. It’s worth the long wait.

　　Toyota began to sell two versions of RAV4 in Japan in May 1994 (in Britain in June) and soon the sales became very strong. I thought I could sell about 4,500 cars a month, but I received an order for 8,000 cars in the first month, and soon the output doubled.

　　RAV4 is equipped with a 2.0-liter 16-valve four-cylinder engine, which was previously used on the second generation CaMry/Carina (Camry/Carina), and can be equipped with a five-speed manual transmission or a four-speed automatic transmission. It is equipped with full-time four-wheel drive system and optional central locking differential.

　　RAV4′ s compact body, its four-wheel drive, wide track and short front and rear suspension make it have excellent handling performance in any road and weather conditions. All RAV4′ s are designed with safety equipment, which makes them more classified as passenger cars than trucks. Standard safety equipment includes driver’s side airbag, adjustable three-point seat belt and devices to strengthen side collision protection.

　　By combining the elements of traditional passenger cars with the characteristics of light off-road vehicles, Toyota called RAV4 a "new concept" SUV. With this RAV4, Toyota and its customers have been able to enter the attractive emerging market of sport utility vehicles.

　　In March 1995, the new four-door model was put on the market. The four-door version is 16 inches longer than the two-door version and can take five people. The front seat belt pretensioner was also introduced into the market with the release of the four-door version, and the RAV4 two-door version was also equipped with the system in September 1995.

　　RAV4 made its debut in the United States in January 1996, and Toyota also made great improvements to all RAV4 models, including: front double airbags became standard; A high-position rear brake light is introduced; The 2.0-liter 16-valve engine has also been recalibrated to make its emissions cleaner, with less noise and greater torque. Two-wheel drive models were also introduced to the market in 1996, but only front-wheel drive.

　　In 1997, RAV4 only made some minor modifications on the original basis of this "revolutionary" product, including changing the seat cover of the two-door model, providing an electric sunroof as an option on the four-door model, and also marking a digital clock and a large front speaker on the electric window model.

　　In 1998, RAV4 underwent several major changes. External changes include a new grille, front bumper fascia, multi-reflector headlights and crystal diamond taillights. Internal changes include: newly added digital odometer, double cup holder, three-spoke steering wheel and sound system, and also changed the door panel. The engine power has increased by 7 horsepower. The seat cloth on the four-door model has also been changed. Two soft-top versions of RAV4 were introduced to the market in mid-1998. Based on the two-door version of RAV4, it combines the front hard top with the rear movable soft top.

　　In 1999, Toyota provided a perforated leather interior with sports flavor as an option on its RAV4 special edition model, which once again set a good technical standard for small sports utility vehicles. Since that year, the side panels, rearview mirrors and door handles of the same color have been standard on the RAV4 special edition. In addition, three new special edition colors (pearl white, metallic silver and elegant black) have been added as optional.

　　In 2000, two soft-top models and two hard-top models were discontinued.

　　The second generation RAV 4 (October 2000-September 2005)

　　In October 2000, after a thorough redesign, the second generation RAV4 appeared. It is a compact SUV with larger space, stronger off-road performance and wider use. The whole body length, width, height and wheel track of RAV4 have been increased by about one inch or more, respectively, in order to make the interior and exterior space bigger. The shape of the vehicle has been newly designed, which is more aerodynamic and more aggressive. Its power comes from a brand-new 2.0-liter four-cylinder 16-valve DOHC engine, all aluminum, lighter in weight and with intelligent variable valve timing function (VVT-i). With the help of VVT-i function, the vehicle can output 148 horsepower at 6000rpm and 142 fthttps://info.xcar.com.cn/200904/lb. torque at 4000rpm. The second generation RAV4 has been proved to be a low emission vehicle (LEV).

　　In September 2001, the British version of the four-wheel drive model added a D-4D diesel engine.

　　The 2002 model comes standard with gray painted bumper, scratch strip on the side of the car body and a new spare tire cover. The four-wheel drive version can also be equipped with an externally expanded wheel arch. The basic body color still follows the previous year’s style, but a cool pearl white is added. The "L" model is equipped with a bumper with the same color as the body and a scratch strip on the side of the body. The four-wheel drive version can be equipped with a flared wheel arch.
