Suddenly burst into fire! The nightlife of young people in Hangzhou is so interesting.

Working during the day and attending classes at night has become a fashionable nightlife for young people in Hangzhou. Recently, from Shanghai to Hangzhou, a large number of young people choose to go to night schools after work. What courses are there in these night schools? How did you sign up? Let’s get to know each other!

Shake the number to generate admission places

Since September this year, Zhejiang Cultural Center has opened a series of autumn public welfare courses of "Beautifying Literature and Art" National Art School, which is located in Zhejiang Cultural Center of West Lake Cultural Square.

In addition to the most popular beauty class, there are 69 courses such as cello, violin, Latin dance, ballet, Hangzhou dialect popularization, sorting and storage, calligraphy, Chinese painting, Beijing opera, photography and buckle skills, all of which are trained by special teachers.

All these courses are free for public welfare, and most of them have 8 classes, once a week. The most popular classes that need to be rushed are mainly concentrated in the prime time from 7: 00 to 8: 30 every night, so they are called "night classes" by many people.

Once the night school was opened, it became a hot cake, and the registration was particularly hot. At present, these public welfare courses are registered through the "Zheli Cultural Circle" applet, and the admission results are generated by random lottery.

According to the registration page of "Zheli Cultural Circle", only 30 places enrolled in the beauty class flooded into 1700 people, with an admission ratio of 56: 1. Most of the people who come to night school are young people born after 90.

However, just recently, the Provincial Cultural Center issued a "missing" strategy-if there are students taking time off, the staff will make statistics in advance and publicly release the vacant places as experience class places. Citizens who have not shaken the number can pay attention to the "Little Front Desk of the Cultural Center" account in time or call the official hotline 0571-87083278 for consultation and registration!

On the evening of November 4th, the students walked into the "night school" in Zhejiang Cultural Center.

These courses are the most popular

Huang Ying, the teacher of the beauty class, is a national senior makeup artist and beautician. She has a full schedule during the day, but she also cherishes the one-and-a-half-hour evening class every week. She also feels relaxed and happy to see so many young people on time for appointments every week.

The violin class is in the classroom next to the beauty class. Violin and other musical instruments are provided to the students for free. Many people will ask for detention after class, just to practice more.

The class is over at 8: 30 in the evening, and many students will be around the teacher, hoping to help. The teacher is also very patient and willing to accompany the students to "drag the class".

Popular courses that are highly sought after, as well as the "sorting and receiving class" on Friday afternoon. Zhang Ying, a teacher, is a professional organizer, which is also a new profession in recent years. In every class, she has to repeatedly emphasize the essence of reception with the students, that is, to balance the relationship among people, things and space. In other words, it is not easy to tidy up the house, which should be clean and tidy as well as scientific and reasonable.

On weekdays, the "night school" is full of popularity, and on weekends, the Zhejiang Cultural Center is more lively.

For example, the "Hangzhou dialect popularization class" every Saturday night is a newly added course this fall. The teacher is Gao Renfei, a post-95 boy. Over the years, as a linguistics major, he has been devoted to exploring and studying Hangzhou dialect in a systematic way.

From theory to practice, Gao Renfei taught everyone the basic intonation of Hangzhou dialect in an easy-to-understand way in class. The students are from all over the world-Beijing, Chengdu, Sichuan, Yantai, Shandong, Quzhou, Zhejiang, Yichun, Jiangxi and other places, and even "foreign students" from the United States, Zambia and Russia.

At the end of this year, Zhejiang Cultural Center will hold a series of performances of "Beautifying Literature and Art", and outstanding students will have the opportunity to perform on stage. And those relatively static courses, such as buckle, embroidery, calligraphy, painting, etc., also have the opportunity to exhibit excellent works.

Someone took the high-speed train to Hangzhou to attend classes.

In fact, a hard-to-find public welfare course has actually been available since 2014. The Zhejiang Cultural Center conducts public welfare course training every spring, summer and autumn to recruit students from the society. Only in the past, most of the people who came to participate in this kind of training were older citizens and teenagers.

This year, things have changed Working during the day and attending classes at night, these courses attract more and more office workers and young people. There are even young people in Jiaxing and Huzhou who are willing to take the high-speed train to class after work every week.

Latin dance class

Zumba aerobic dance ban

Students in Beijing Opera class practice their vocalization by biting chopsticks.

Netizen commented that this is a children’s palace for adults, and the sense of relaxation in class can be used to iron out the folds of life.

Here, at first, no one knew anyone, but because of the same interests, these people who came from all over the city got together on a fixed night every week and spent a special "night school" time. In the beauty class, the only male student volunteered to be the monitor of the beauty class, and some students said that their social fears for many years would be cured.

Night school is also the memory of a generation in Hangzhou.

The word "night school" is actually very chronological. In the 1980s and 1990s, it was all the rage in China, including Hangzhou.

This is a memory that belongs to a generation. In the early days of reform and opening-up, it was difficult to get into universities. Some young people who are already employed and eager to continue their studies will join TV University, Night University and Correspondence University after work to continue their studies.

Youth night school in the 1980s

Different from the "night school" courses which mainly focus on literary interests, the night school was mainly about teaching subjects, such as junior high school, junior high school and junior college, and some courses to upgrade professional skills, such as electrician knowledge, electronic technology, mechanical drawing, mold design, etc., all of which had corresponding graduation exams and formal diplomas. Generally, some classrooms in primary and secondary schools are borrowed to attend classes, just like going back to campus again, and everyone’s enthusiasm for going to night school is very high.

Did you go to "night school"?

Are you interested in such "night school" classes?

If given the chance, which course would you like to study most?

The Beauty of Festivals New Year’s Day | One-Yuan Recurrence: Talking about "those things" on New Year’s Day

A unified start, Vientiane update. January 1, 2023 is the first day of the Gregorian New Year, and people are used to calling it New Year’s Day. What does the word New Year’s Day mean? What’s the nickname? What is the relationship between modern Spring Festival and ancient New Year’s Day? Listen to what folklore experts say.
Poster production: Feng Juan
Xiao Fang, a professor at the School of Social Studies of Beijing Normal University and director of the China Festival Culture Research Center of China Folk Writers Association, said in the Song Dynasty that "the first month of the first month is called New Year’s Day, and the common name is New Year’s Day. One-year-old festival, this is the first. " Literally, Yuan is the beginning and Dan is the morning. As a holiday time, it refers to the morning of the first day of the first month of each year, that is, the beginning of the new year.
Historically, there are many elegant terms for New Year’s Day, such as Sanyuan, Yuanri, Zhengchao, Yuanshuo, Zhengdan, Yuanzheng, New Year, Early Year, Xinzheng, Chicken Day, etc., but among many terms, "New Year’s Day" is the most common and the longest.
Poster production: Feng Juan
Traditional China society has a different understanding of the "new year" from the west, and has always regarded "the first day of the first month" as the beginning of the "new year", which was the case in ancient China, and New Year’s Day was the "first day of the first month". Before Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the specific date of New Year’s Day was not uniform. The Xia Dynasty was the first day of the first month of the first lunar month, the Shang Dynasty was the first day of the second lunar month, the Zhou Dynasty was the first day of the first lunar month, and the Qin Dynasty was the first day of the first lunar month. During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, he switched to taichu calendar, redesignating the first day of the first month of the first lunar month in the summer calendar as "New Year’s Day", which has since been used by successive dynasties.
"It can be seen that in a long historical period, there was only one New Year in China, which was the lunar year on the first day of the first month. This situation was not changed until the Republic of China." Xiao Fang said.
In 1911, the Revolution of 1911 overthrew the rule of the Qing Dynasty. The newly established government of the Republic of China introduced the western calendar, and began to use the Gregorian calendar in 1912, stipulating that January 1 of the Gregorian calendar was the New Year, and appropriated the name "New Year’s Day" originally used as the Lunar New Year to the Gregorian New Year, and the Lunar New Year was renamed the Spring Festival. Since then, China people have had two New Years every year: one is New Year’s Day on January 1 of the Gregorian calendar, which people used to call "Gregorian Year"; The other is the Lunar New Year, the Spring Festival, on the first day of the first lunar month.
"However, due to historical culture and folk traditions, the holiday revision of this calendar has not become widely popular." Xiao Fang said.
On September 27th, 1949, the first plenary session of China People’s Political Consultative Conference passed a resolution, and People’s Republic of China (PRC) adopted the AD calendar year. Since then, January 1st of the Gregorian calendar has been officially called "New Year’s Day" and the first day of the first lunar month has been designated as "Spring Festival".
"As the first day of the Gregorian New Year, New Year’s Day is a legal holiday in many countries or regions in the world. It is full of vitality, symbolizes new life and new hope, and also places people’s good wishes and expectations for the future." Xiao Fang said.

Youth night school, light up young people’s nightlife

  This year, "night school", a word with a sense of the times, suddenly became a "good heart" for young people and quickly spread all over the country. In Beijing, Guangzhou, Xi ‘an, Wuxi and other places, the popularity of various interest courses is comparable to that of online shopping. More and more young people go into the classroom to brush their lessons after punching out, ranging from dance vocal music and calligraphy and painting to non-legacy work, health and fitness … They are opening the "nightlife" mode in a different way.

  Why do young people rush to attend "night school"? At the moment when material life is becoming more and more abundant, people are pursuing the richness and diversity of spiritual life, and the "Youth Night School" with the price close to the people and fashionable and novel courses just conforms to the pursuit of colorful spiritual life by contemporary youth, and it is natural that its popularity will continue unabated.

  Some people compare the Youth Night School to the adult version of the "Children’s Palace" and the youth version of the "University for the Aged". For young people, it is an "energy supplement station". Some people sign up for study to fulfill their childhood dreams, while others are to improve their skills … "Night school" gives them the opportunity to choose to study and charge according to their interests and needs, and "store energy" for their future. In the process of learning without the pressure of examination, young people unload the pressure and fatigue brought by work and life, immerse themselves in learning a certain knowledge or skill, and enjoy the pleasure of "wasting time on beautiful things".

  Youth night school is also a "big social classroom". Many young people once lamented their "formatted" life: after finishing work at 5 o’clock, they would pass the time by watching dramas, often lying down and brushing their mobile phones until late at night, which not only made them feel empty mentally, but also affected their health. "Don’t’ house’, come out!" Night school gives young people the opportunity to break out of their homes, reconstruct their cultural life and go to the social classroom. "Youth Night School" also provides a brand-new social scene for young people, making friends with similar interests, broadening their circle of friends, and some even finding life partners.

  Youth night school is a "dream-chasing place". Going to night school is an independent choice of contemporary young people who actively seek knowledge and are eager to improve. Behind it is the popularization of the concept of lifelong learning, which shows their spirit of being unwilling to be mediocre, uneasy with the status quo and positive. "Youth Night School" gives young people the opportunity to pursue their dreams, so that they can tap their potential with love for life, improve themselves in advance, and reshape themselves in their studies.

  Young people have no trivial matters, and everything is always related to their feelings. Youth night school has become a new fashion, but if it is not only a temporary craze at this time, we need to seriously think about: how should youth night school serve young people more and better? In this regard, on the one hand, the quality of the course is the key. Only by providing high-quality course content and teachers, can we better meet the learning needs of young people and make evening schools have lasting appeal. On the other hand, it is necessary to "revitalize" more public cultural resources, build a broader learning platform for night schools, and build a learning city where everyone can learn, learn everywhere, and learn from time to time, so that young people can really fall in love with learning and the city where they live. In addition, young people in rural areas and remote areas can also be included in the "night school" education platform through online lectures, so that happy study nightlife can cover more people in need.

  Youth night school lights up the nightlife of young people, allowing more young people to take the initiative to improve themselves and embrace the new era. In this two-way trip, a little bit of starlight condenses the confidence and strength to move forward towards a better life. (Have fun)

Why is the ocean so important?

At the Earth Summit held in Rio de Janeiro in 1992, the concept of "World Ocean Day" was put forward for the first time, aiming at praising the oceans shared by the whole world, emphasizing the connection between the oceans and ourselves, raising people’s awareness of the importance of the oceans in daily life, and understanding the important ways to help protect the oceans.

The United Nations General Assembly adopted resolution 63/111 on 5 December 2008, which willJune 8th was designated as World Ocean Day.

Humans don’t live on the ocean, but why is the ocean so important?

The ocean is the cradle of life, accounting for nearly 3/4 of the earth’s surface area and the ninety-seven percent of all the earth’s water resources. It is the source of our life, and the life of human beings and all other creatures on earth depends on the ocean. The ocean provides many resources and services for human beings, such as oxygen, climate regulation, carbon sequestration, food and medicine, which is of great significance to the survival and development of human society.

The ocean produces at least 50% of the oxygen on the earth, which is the home of most biodiversity on the earth, and the protein ingested by more than one billion people in the world mainly comes from the ocean. And the ocean is vital to our economy. It is estimated that by 2030, the marine industry will employ 40 million people.

Although the ocean has so many benefits, it still needs support.

With 90% of the large fish stocks exhausted and 50% of the coral reefs destroyed, the resources we get from the ocean far exceed the amount that the ocean can supply. In order to protect the ocean and everything it supports, we must establish a new balance based on a true understanding of the ocean and the relationship between human beings and the ocean. We must learn from the lessons of the past and establish contact with the ocean in an inclusive and innovative way.

The purpose of "World Ocean Day" is to tell the public about the impact of human activities on the ocean, promote the global citizens’ movement to protect the ocean, and mobilize and unite the people of the world to carry out a project of sustainable management of the world’s oceans.

"Ocean: Life and Livelihood" is the theme of World Ocean Day in 2021, and it is also a statement of intention to start the ten-year challenge and realize the sustainable development goal 14 "Protection and sustainable utilization of oceans and marine resources" by 2030.

This year, the United Nations organized activities to celebrate World Ocean Day. This is also the second virtual celebration of the United Nations World Ocean Day held on June 8, 2021.

This year’s annual event, jointly organized by the Division for Ocean Affairs and the Law of the Sea of the United Nations Office of Legal Affairs and the non-profit organization Global Ocean and partner Blancpain, will reveal the wonders of the ocean and how the ocean has become the source of our life and supported human beings and all other living things on earth.

Join us in this year’s annual activities of the United Nations World Ocean Day, and you can hear the voices of thought leaders, celebrities, institutional partners, communities, entrepreneurs and cross-industry experts to discuss information about the biodiversity and economic opportunities maintained by the oceans.

At the same time, this year’s theme is particularly important in the preparations for the United Nations Decade of Marine Science for Sustainable Development, which will last from 2021 to 2030. This decade will strengthen international cooperation and develop scientific research and innovative technologies that can meet the needs of marine science and society.

Man and the ocean are a community of life, and we should care for the ocean like life! Only by adopting a more sustainable production and consumption mode and promoting a green production and lifestyle can we improve the global marine ecological health and ensure the well-being of mankind for generations to come.

In the future construction of marine ecological civilization, it is urgent for more people to pay attention to and join the ranks of protecting the marine ecological environment and biodiversity, conserve the diverse marine life and habitats, realize the sustainable utilization of marine resources, and leave a blue sea and blue sky for our future generations.

(hereinafter referred to as "Equity Transfer Agreement") with Shanghai Ruyi Investment Management Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Ruyi Investment"), and planned to transfer 51% equity of Beijing Wanda Investment Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Wanda Investment") to Ruyi Investment. According to the Equity Transfer Agreement, the total transfer price was RMB 2.155 billion.

If the above transaction is finally implemented, Ruyi Investment will hold 51% equity of Wanda Investment, and Ke Liming, as the actual controller of Ruyi Investment, will indirectly control 20% equity of WANDA CINEMAS through Wanda Investment. In addition, China Ruyi Film and Television, which is controlled by Ruyi through an agreement, holds 49% of Wanda Investment, and Ke Liming also holds 16.34% of the total share capital of China Ruyi. Wang Jianlin indirectly controls 10.9% equity of WANDA CINEMAS through Wanda Culture, Shenxian Rongzhi Xingye Management Consulting Center and Lin Ning. Colliming will eventually become the new actual controller of WANDA CINEMAS.

The reporter of China Business News learned that China Confucianism was formerly known as Hengteng Network. In October 2020, Hengteng Network wholly acquired Ruyi Film through allotment and issuance of shares and subscription of equity, with a total transaction amount of about HK$ 7.2 billion (at that time, it was about RMB 6.2 billion). However, in November 2021, with the departure of Evergrande, Ke Liming, the real controller of Ruyi Film, became the largest shareholder of Hengteng Network, while Tencent Holdings and United Resources Investment Holdings ranked second and third. In February 2022, Hengteng Network was renamed as "China Confucianism".

According to China Ruyi’s mid-year report in 2023, the company’s business mainly includes film and television drama production, online streaming platform pumpkin movies and games. After holding WANDA CINEMAS, it means that China Confucianism and Italy will open up the downstream film industry, and its strength should not be underestimated.

The whole process of transfer

Two equity transfer transactions with Ruyi Investment contributed to the change of WANDA CINEMAS’s actual controller, but in addition, Wanda Investment has transferred WANDA CINEMAS shares several times in 2023.

In April this year, WANDA CINEMAS issued the Announcement on Pre-disclosure of Shareholding Reduction by Controlling Shareholders. According to the announcement, Wanda Investment, the controlling shareholder of WANDA CINEMAS, holds 849,811,931 shares, accounting for 38.99% of the company’s total share capital. Wanda Investment plans to reduce its shareholding by no more than 65,381,064 shares through centralized bidding and block trading, accounting for 3% of the company’s total share capital. The reduction will be completed within 6 months, and the reason for the reduction is "own capital demand".

On July 12th, WANDA CINEMAS issued another announcement to remind Wanda, the controlling shareholder, to invest in the transfer of equity. According to the announcement, Wanda Investment transferred 180 million shares of the company to Lu Lili through agreement transfer, accounting for 8.26% of the company’s total share capital. Lu Lili is a legal person of Shanghai Oriental International Film and Television Culture Communication Co., Ltd. Subsequently, on July 17, Wanda Investment and its concerted action person, Shenxian Rongzhi, signed the Share Transfer Agreement on WANDA CINEMAS Co., Ltd., stipulating that Wanda Investment would transfer 177,352,994 shares of WANDA CINEMAS unrestricted shares held by it to Shenxian Rongzhi, accounting for 8.14% of the company’s total share capital.

On July 20th, WANDA CINEMAS announced that Wanda Culture, the indirect controlling shareholder of the company, transferred its 49% equity of Wanda Investment to Ruyi Investment at a transfer price of 2.262 billion yuan. After changes in equity, Confucianism and Italian Investment indirectly held 216 million shares of WANDA CINEMAS through Wanda Investment, accounting for 9.8% of the total share capital.

China Ruyi said in the announcement at that time that although Ruyi Investment would directly hold 49% of the shares of Wanda Investment, it had no intention of appointing directors to Wanda Investment and would not participate in the daily operation and management of Wanda Investment. Wanda Investment will not be a subsidiary of China Confucianism and Italy, and its financial performance will not be incorporated into the comprehensive financial statements of China Confucianism and Italy. At that time, the actual controller of WANDA CINEMAS was still Wang Jianlin, but after the signing of the Equity Transfer Agreement, the actual controller of WANDA CINEMAS will be changed from Wang Jianlin to Ke Liming.

China’s Confucianism reappears and capital operation is generous

The reporter learned from the information provided by a number of third-party organizations that WANDA CINEMAS is one of the few companies in China that has realized the integration of film and television production, distribution, cinema, film management and film projection, and its market share has also occupied the first place for a long time at the screening end. On the content level, WANDA CINEMAS is equally strong. According to public information, the "Beijing Love Story" controlled by Wanda Cinema in 2014 accumulated a box office of 406 million yuan; In 2015, the master controller produced 9 films, including Searching for the Dragon, goodbye mr. loser and Pancake Man, among which 7 films exceeded 100 million at the box office. In 2016, the master controller produced 9 films, including "Love Saint" and "Grand Prix"; In 2017, there were 16 films such as "Journey to the West" and "Master of Memory"; In 2018, in addition to the "Chinatown Detective 2" with a cumulative box office of 3.397 billion yuan, there are 10 master film projects such as "Get My Brother Away"; In 2019, there were 15 master movies including Sheep Without A Shepherd’s Flying Life; In 2021, Detective Chinatown 3, the master producer, ranked seventh in the box office list of Chinese movies with a box office of 4.523 billion yuan.

However, this year, WANDA CINEMAS’s only film projects are Space Exploration Editorial Department, Countdown Love You, Shen Jilan and Three Battalions, which will be released on December 15th. Among them, Cosmic Exploration Editorial Department has a cumulative box office of 67.043 million yuan, Countdown Love You has a cumulative box office of 26.37 million yuan, and Shen Jilan has only 4.565 million yuan. According to WANDA CINEMAS’s semi-annual financial report for fiscal year 2023, although WANDA CINEMAS achieved operating income of 6.869 billion yuan in the first half of the year, the income from cinema screening accounted for over 60%, while the income from film production and distribution and related businesses was only 202 million yuan, accounting for less than 3% of the total revenue. The cinema screening sector is undoubtedly the core asset of WANDA CINEMAS.

The momentum of WANDA CINEMAS’s projection in the cinema will help China’s Confucianism. Before Ke Liming became the actual controller of WANDA CINEMAS, China Confucianism and Italy had included three major businesses: film and television drama production, online streaming media and games. Among them, Shanghai Ruyi Film and Television Production Co., Ltd., a subsidiary, participated in films such as Hi, Mom, A Little Red Flower and Moon Man, and participated in the production of dramas such as No War in Peiping, nirvana in fire and My Fireworks on Earth. In 2023, the main films included Exchange of Life, Keeping You Safe and Warmth. China Ruyi also owns Pumpkin Movie, a streaming media platform. The business segment had 70.84 million registered members when the data was last published in 2021, of which 28.68 million were paid subscription members. The game business of China Confucianism began in 2022, and Beijing Confucianism Jingxiu Network Technology Co., Ltd. was established to lay out the game business. China Confucianism said in the announcement at that time that it would get Tencent’s support in technology, channels and funds.

Before WANDA CINEMAS changed hands, there had been many large-scale capital operations of Confucianism and Italy in China. In 2020, when Hengteng Network acquired Ruyi Film, the two sides signed a three-year gambling agreement, and Ruyi Film was required to achieve an annual net profit of 400 million yuan, 500 million yuan and 600 million yuan respectively from fiscal year 2021 to fiscal year 2023, with a profit of 1.5 billion yuan in three years. After the transaction is completed, the shareholding ratio of Evergrande and Tencent in Hengteng Network is 45.55% and 16.9% respectively. Ke Liming became the third largest shareholder of Hengteng Network, holding 12.5%.

In 2021, with a guaranteed price of 1.5 billion yuan, Ruyi Film bought out Hi, Mom’s share of the profits from the first producer, Beijing Culture. In the end, the box office in Hi, Mom exceeded 5.4 billion yuan. With this transaction, Confucianism and Italian Film successfully completed the above gambling agreement.

At the beginning of this year, among the four cornerstone investors introduced by Lehua Entertainment IPO, Sun Mass Energy, a wholly-owned subsidiary of China Confucianism and Italy, subscribed for 7.9 million US dollars in offering shares, making it the largest one.
