The Mingdao girl group has strict requirements, and when they meet SISTAR, they act coquettishly and call out that they want to get married

  On July 17, Mingdao, the female group talent show "The Strongest Girl Group" with Mingdao as the general commander, ushered in a new episode of the program recording. The general commander Mingdao accepted a group visit from the national media on the day of the recording. It is reported that Mingdao invited the popular Korean women’s group SISTAR to come to help out and serve as Mingdao’s star staff. The climax of the recording scene continued, and the encounter between the Chinese and Korean women’s groups was full of sparks.

  SISTAR shouts coquettishly at Oppa, Ming Dao calls out that he wants to get married

  At the scene, SISTAR turned on coquettish mode, and the four of them took turns calling Oba to Ming Dao, which was especially useful. When asked what it was like to be called Oba by the four girls, Ming Dao shouted "I am also at the age where I should get married this year", boldly confessing, triggering a pink craze on the scene.

  Mingdao learns Korean for SISTAR and hopes to be more rigorous with players

  Asked during the interview if SISTAR was familiar with Ming Dao, SISTAR said: "I have followed on TV and on the Internet. I finally met this time. I hope we can get to know each other better and make good friends in the future." For the arrival of the popular Korean group SISTAR, Ming Dao also made full preparations in advance. Ming Dao, who has always been gifted in language, learned Korean privately. Among them, the Korean language of "soju" is the best. SISTAR was surprised to hear that, and Doshun laughed and said that he "loves drinking rice wine."

  This is an exchange between China and South Korea. On stage, Mingdao asked SISTAR members to show their versatile charm, let the members of the strongest girl group learn and learn from them, and learn from SISTAR about the cultivation of girls’ uniqueness. "Before, only a single group member was invited, but this time SISTAR is the entire girl group. It will be the most complete guidance since the opening of’The Strongest Girl Group ‘, and it will be a mature guidance for the Korean team," Mingdao said in an interview. When Mingdao asked if SISTAR would give strict guidance if the players of the strongest girl group did not perform well, SISTAR said with a smile: "No, we hope to explore the advantages of the strongest girl group and amplify the advantages." But Ming Dao was obviously not satisfied with this answer, saying that he hoped that SISTAR, as a star advisor, could be more severe and make the players of the strongest women’s team better.

  The standard for choosing a girlfriend is more life-like, and I don’t plan to move to the background at this stage.

  For the show "The Strongest Girl Group", Ming Dao has been paying attention to the contestants’ growth step by step since the live broadcast stage of the show, and has poured a lot of effort and emotion into them. A reporter asked if the members of the girl group would have a feeling of choosing a girlfriend, Ming Dao answered seriously: "No, I am a person whose work and life are very separate. Choosing a girl group mainly depends on their state on the stage. Of course, singing and dancing must be available. Artists must be able to express themselves on the stage and make the audience feel comfortable and smooth. And choosing a girlfriend requires understanding the other party’s private life habits, such as whether they like to eat western food or Chinese food."

  Asked if she planned to shift her focus behind the scenes in this girl group talent show, Ming Dao responded: "No, I just broadened my work area. In terms of acting, I will be more careful in choosing roles."

Playing Concubine Yang Gui was questioned by Fan Bingbing, crying that it was too harsh

    News source: Nanning Evening News







    


Fan Bingbing was strongly doubted


    "Natural beauty is hard to give up, and it is always on the side of the king. Looking back and smiling at Bai Meisheng, Liugong Fendai has no color." Concubine Yang, one of China’s "four beautiful women", has always been a representative of plump beauty. Her story has also been filmed into film and television works countless times, including the recent TV series "Datang Furong Garden" on CCTV’s eight go LIVE sets. However, with the hit of the show, the role of Concubine Yang in the play by Fan Bingbing has attracted strong criticism from many viewers, and even evolved into a huge verbal attack on the Internet.


    The netizens strongly questioned


    Unlike some historical dramas, "Datang Furong Garden" only talks about love and not politics, and positions Yang Guifei as a "pure" woman. According to the director’s conception, Yang Guifei in the play should be "pure enough to make men’s hearts shake and women jealous." However, after the appearance of Yang Guifei played by Fan Bingbing, not only did she not charm the audience, but also attracted waves of strong doubts.


    "By letting Fan Bingbing play Yang Yuhuan, in addition to making the audience feel despair, even the Chinese idiom is about to despair. How can I change the’Huanfei Yan Thin ‘? Looking at her thin face, how can there be any smell of Yang Guifei?" "Fan Bingbing doesn’t look like a favorite concubine in a prosperous age at all – graceful and natural charm; always looks like a small family jasper, no matter how you look at it, it looks like Yang Guifei’s maid." Many viewers also pointed out that in the famous "Neon Clothes Dance", Fan Bingbing actually used a lot of double shots, which seemed very fake. "When Fan Bingbing dances, he just swings his sleeves up, turns left and right, and has no charm."


    Fan Bingbing is quite aggrieved


    Faced with various criticisms from the audience, Fan Bingbing looked rather aggrieved: "Zang Jinsheng, who played An Lushan, said that he had studied relevant historical materials. The real Yang Yuhuan’s measurements are only a little bigger than mine, not so fat, and his height is shorter than mine, about 1.55 meters to 1.60 meters, so the thin version of Yang Guifei is not without basis." Fan Bingbing defended himself against the accusation of lack of temperament: "I am emotionally confident, and taking this play shows that I have confidence. I think everyone is too harsh on me, because the feelings in the play are very delicate, and the role positioning and history are inherently different."


    As for the dance stuntman, Fan Bingbing explained: "The’Nishang Feather Dancing ‘is very famous, and I originally hoped to be able to complete it myself, but I didn’t learn dance after all. In the end, many scenes were shot by dance teachers as stuntmen, which is my biggest regret in filming the drama!"


    Zhou Xiaowen was a little angry


    The director Zhou Xiaowen looked a little angry in the face of the audience’s criticism: "Who said that Concubine Yang Guifei must be a fat woman? Who has seen it? Let him find me! Saying that Concubine Yang Guifei is fat is the imagination of literati. When I shoot Yang Yuhuan, I want to show the image of a’pure ‘woman. It doesn’t matter if she is fat or thin." (Fan Dongbo)

Li Zonghan said that "Sword Rain" is amazing: Lu Zhu died of mental cleanliness


character poster

  As a work that first broke into the film industry, Li Zonghan’s role in "Lu Zhu" in "Sword Rain" was obviously a great success. Not only did he perfectly show the compassion and infatuation of the wonderful monk, but he also performed another classic love confession "Stone Bridge Chan" for female audiences. Lu Zhu’s affectionate style and sacrifice touched countless audiences, but the actor Li Zonghan made a surprising statement, saying that "Lu Zhu died of mental cleanliness."

  In "Sword Rain", Li Zonghan plays a Buddhist monk who is the best in the world in terms of martial arts. He has been practicing in Shaolin for twenty-seven years, but when he is about to be officially shaved, he has moved his mortal heart. The woman he loves is still a female devil who murders without blinking an eye. Lu Zhu entangled with "Drizzle" for nearly three months, and finally enlightened the female killer with his life. Not only did he persuade "Drizzle" to turn back, but he also let himself break the fate of evil. "I would like to be transformed into a stone bridge, exposed to five hundred years of wind, five hundred years of sun, and five hundred years of rain, only wishing you could walk across the bridge." This death vow made by Lu Zhu before his death also successfully hit the tear glands of the audience.

  When it comes to the role of Lu Zhu, Li Zonghan’s words are amazing, "Lu Zhu is a person who pursues perfection, and his death is due to his spiritual cleanliness." The little prince of the constellation defined Lu Zhu as a Virgo man when assigning constellations to the twelve characters in "Sword Rain", and Li Zonghan agreed with this. "Lu Zhu has a spiritual cleanliness, he pursues perfection, he cultivates martial arts and Buddhism to the best of nobody, and he loves in the extreme way. So when he found that he could not balance love and faith, he chose to use his death to influence others and fulfill others."

  Li Zonghan said that he was deeply attracted by the role of Lu Zhu when he got the script. "Lu Zhu is a pure and extreme man. He sees everything in the world very thoroughly, including love is also a kind of’big love ‘, and there is no selfishness. It is easy and difficult to figure out such a character, but he is not too complicated
 

If this year’s Cannes Film Festival is cancelled, what will happen to these films?

The 73rd Cannes Film Festival was originally scheduled to be held from May 12 to 23


1905 movie network feature "We have a tradition that Cannes is the first sign of summer."The artistic director of the Cannes International Film Festival, Fermat, recently expressed the hope that the epidemic will end as soon as possible in mid-May, and the festival will be held as scheduled from May 12 to May 23. But judging from the current situation, such an idea is too optimistic.


In addition to Cannes, several recent film festivals originally scheduled to be held in March, April and May have been postponed or cancelled,Including the French Real Film Festival, the South by Southwest Film Festival, the Tribeca Film Festival, and the Miami Film Festival.So far, the official statement of the Cannes Film Festival Organizing Committee is:The cancellation or postponement will not be announced until at least April 15, the eve of the announcement of the entry list.


Why is Cannes still "struggling"?


It was first rumored to be because of the insurance premium. If cancelled, a French insurance company could compensate 2 million euros, but the organizing committee of the Cannes Film Festival has refused. However, this year’s festival’s operating budget is 32 million euros, which is not a big deal for Cannes.The president of the festival, Pierre Lescule, also said that even if it is cancelled, it will have little impact on the financial operation of the festival itself, because the festival has certain reserves and fund support.


Cannes Artistic Director Fumau (left) and President Lescule (right)


The main reason is still to go back to the movie itself.


As one of the largest international film festivals in the world, there are not only red carpets and starlight, but also hundreds of new films from all over the world participate in competitions and screenings every year, especially for art films, where you can enjoy large-scale international exposure and discussion.


Last year, for example, Diao Yinan’s directorship and Hu Ge’s starring role were shortlisted for the main competition, and the new director’s work also received praise in the parallel section. With the help of the Cannes platform, these new Chinese-language films first earn enough popularity overseas, which is also good for the promotion of their release in China.


At the same time, thousands of films are also traded in the Cannes Film Market for international sales of copyrights and distribution every year.For example, Jia Zhangke’s works in 2015, which were shortlisted for the main competition unit in Cannes that year, cost about 40 million yuan, and the cost has been recovered through overseas copyright sales on platforms such as the Cannes market on the eve of domestic release.


2019 Cannes Film Palace


The entire Cannes Film Festival team is still working on contingency measures, such as limiting the number of spectators in cinemas and other venues. But the French government has announced a law-wide ban on gatherings of more than 100 people.According to statistics, the Cannes Film Festival attracted about 60,000 participants every day last year. If the ban continues until May, how can the festival scale down the event to meet the standards? Then how many people are willing to take the risk to participate in the event?


If cancellations are confirmed, a number of international studios and agencies have also agreed to jointly create an online marketplace in early May, including promoting new films to buyers, showing flowers or samples, etc. However, such remedial measures will still affect market transactions.


The Cannes International Film Festival has been cancelled three times since its first edition in 1946.It was suspended in 1948 and 1950 due to financial difficulties, and in 1968 due to the impact of the "May storm", when Truffaut, Godard and other French New Wave directors jointly blocked the screening of the film, and the festival was forced to suspend.


Directors such as Truffaut and Godard block Cannes film screening


Half a century later, the number of new films produced has increased sharply year by year. If it is cancelled this year, it will be difficult for many films originally scheduled to appear in Cannes to compete with other new films and squeeze into subsequent film festivals, such as the Venice and Toronto film festivals. If it is postponed, it will be difficult for Cannes to find a suitable time to resume.


So the question of what to do now is to point the debut stage to Cannes or other major films at festivals that have been postponed or cancelled.


Chinese Discourse


First of all, from the perspective of Chinese films, there are three major directors’ new works poised for release:Xu Anhua’s, Tian Zhuangzhuang’s and Zhang Yimou’s.


Adapted from a classic novel by Zhang Ailing and starring Ma Sichun and Peng Yuyan, "First Incense" has attracted much attention in the industry. The film was completed in mainland scenes at the end of July last year, and its first stills were also exposed at the Berlin Film Festival at the beginning of the year.


Xu Anhua’s work has never been shortlisted for the Cannes Film Festival, but judging from her past experience in other film festivals,"First Incense" is more likely to go to the Venice Film Festival.

Tian Zhuangzhuang’s "Birdsong" was completed in January this year. This is his new work after a decade of absence from directing. In addition, the film is adapted from Acheng’s novel "King of Trees", and the other two "Three Kings" novels have been adapted into movies, so the outside world has high expectations for this film.


Last year, Tian Zhuangzhuang brought his old 1988 film to the Cannes Classic Restoration Unit, and Fu Mao personally presided over the pre-screening activities. According to this friendship,If the quality of "Birdsong" is reliable, the Cannes Film Festival will not be cancelled, and it is very likely to be selected for a certain section.


Director Tian Zhuangzhuang


"Solid as a Rock" has been submitted for review after the National Day last year, but there has been no release news."Solid as a Rock" is Zhang Yimou’s first attempt to shoot a police and bandit action movie. According to the director himself, the film’s screen is very unique and has the cold style of a modern city.


The last time Zhang Yimou went to Cannes was in 2014 with his participation in the screening. "Solid as a Rock" has been in the confidential stage, and it is still unknown whether it has been delivered to the film festival. His next new work was still filmed in the Northeast Snow Township at the end of December last year, and there is no news on whether it was stopped by the epidemic.


Mai Junlong directs the works that are currently the most highly anticipated in the industry and are headed for Cannes or other international film festivals.The starring lineup is super luxurious, and it gathers powerful actors such as Takeshi Kancheng, Liang Jiahui, Liu Qingyun, Koo Tianle, and Gao Yuanyuan. It was cut at the end of July last year, and it is said that the amount of post productin is very large.


Director Zhang Ming was shortlisted for the 2018 Cannes Film Festival Director’s Fortnight, his new love suspense film"Hot Soup."Then it appeared in the trading market of the Berlin Film Festival at the beginning of the year, and it should continue to move towards other international film festivals.


Mei Feng won the best screenplay in the main competition at Cannes, directing a new work"Love Song 1980"Starring Li Xian and Chunxia, some samples were completed last year, with a strong literary temperament and the opportunity to participate in Cannes. And the new director works starring Wan Qian and Huang Jue"Rabbit Violence"It is also expected by the industry. Will it be the next "Spring River Plumbing" to go international?


Sino-Japanese co-filming and also want to find its audience through Cannes or other international film festivals."Yanagawa" was completed at the end of January this year, starring Ni Ni, Zhang Luyi, Xin Baiqing, Ikimatsu Zhuangliang, Nakano Yoshiko, etc. Director Zhang Lu is a regular at major film festivals.

The film "Nara Again" about an old Chinese woman looking for a Japanese orphan and adopted daughter is produced by two directors, Jia Zhangke and Kawase Naomi. As old friends of Cannes "direct", it is not unreasonable for them to support the new director Peng Fei to enter Cannes.


In addition to these new Chinese films, Wong Kar-wai’s classic this year coincides with the 20th anniversary of its release. The film had its world premiere in the main competition section of the 2000 Cannes Film Festival, and Tony Leung also won the Best Actor Award.


Cannes officials previously announced that the 4K restored version of "In the Mood for Love" will be unveiled in the classic restoration unit, and Wong Kar-wai will also attend the screening.If the Cannes Film Festival is cancelled, the 4K restoration of "In the Mood for Love" will have to find the next premiere platform.


Overseas


For overseas films, several blockbuster new titles from Asia, Europe, and the United States have long been locked into the main competition at Cannes.


Wes Anderson’s is similar to last year’s, but the stars will be brighter,With Bill Murray, Tilda Swinton, Francis McDormand, Leia Seydoux, Sweet Tea, Saoirse Ronan and dozens of other internationally renowned actors co-starring, no film could be more suitable for the opening of the Cannes Film Festival.


"Mission to France" stills


French director Leo Carrax’s previous film was recently selected as one of the 10 best films of the 2010s by the Cinema Handbook.His new film, Annette, is a musical and his first English film.Starring Adam Driver and Marion Cotillard, it is arguably the most watched film of the year and the top choice at Cannes.

Thai director Apichatpong won the Palme d’Or a decade ago, and this year is the latest collaboration with Tilda Swinton"Memory."The film is currently in its later stages, and Jia Zhangke’s film company has also participated in the production of this film.


Tilda Swinton


In addition, the Palme d’Or director Nanni Moletti’s "Three Floors" and Lauren Guntai’s "Arthur Rambo" were also selected for the main competition.


Cannes "familiar faces" Naomi Kawase’s "Dawn is Coming", Dumont’s "It’s Half Clear This Morning", Ojung’s "85 Midsummer", Sophia Coppola’s "On the Rocks" and Paul Van Hoeven’s "Our Lady" are also pointing at Cannes.


Leia Saidu in "It’s Half Clear This Morning."


If the Cannes Film Festival is cancelled, what other new films will we miss?


I only hope that the epidemic can pass as soon as possible, as Fu Mao wished: "This year’s Cannes Film Festival will be the first international event to celebrate life, praise life, and regenerate."I also hope that all future film festivals can be held smoothly and continue to showcase more outstanding films to us.

The central government issued detailed implementation rules, 31 provinces issued implementation plans, and the fair competition censorship structure was fully established

  Our reporter, Wan Jing

  In June 2016, after the release of the "Opinions of the State Council on Establishing Fair Competition and Censorship in the Construction of the Market System" (hereinafter referred to as Document No. 34), in 2017, all provinces and cities across the country began to establish rules and regulations, and fully implemented Document No. 34. 31 provinces have issued implementation plans or implementation measures.

  The National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Commerce, the State Administration for Industry and Commerce, and the Legislative Affairs Office of the State Council, together with relevant departments, studied and formulated the "Detailed Rules for the Implementation of Fair Competition Censorship (Interim) " (hereinafter referred to as the "Detailed Rules"), which were approved by the State Council and issued in October 2017. The industry unanimously commented that "another boot has landed" to allow the fair competition review to enter the substantive implementation stage.

  19 provinces were included in the performance appraisal

  "Legal Daily" reporters found that since the release of Article 34, all ministries and commissions of the State Council have established a fair competition review mechanism; 31 provinces have issued implementation plans to carry out the review work in an orderly manner. It is particularly noteworthy that 19 of these 31 provinces have proposed to establish and improve the government affairs and administrative commitment assessment system and improve the accountability mechanism for fair competition review.

  Six provinces – Shaanxi, Jiangsu, Tianjin, Jiangxi, Hebei and Qinghai – called for stronger accountability and the establishment of a system of assessment, supervision and accountability for fair competition review work. Taking Jiangxi Province as an example, the Provincial Fair Competition Review Joint Conference Office and relevant industry authorities should strengthen the assessment and supervision of fair competition review work, and local governments and departments that fail to conduct fair competition review or violate fair competition review standards and introduce policies and measures, as well as fail to correct relevant policies and measures in a timely manner, must be seriously accountable.

  In addition, more than 10 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) including Shanghai, Tibet, Inner Mongolia and Shandong have proposed to improve the evaluation mechanism and encourage the government to purchase services and entrust third parties to carry out evaluations. Evaluation reports should be open to the public for comments, and evaluation results should be open to the public.

  The rules ensure that the review is left behind

  At the end of October 2017, the "Detailed Rules" jointly issued by the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Commerce, the State Administration for Industry and Commerce, and the Legislative Affairs Office of the State Council were officially issued. Non-review and non-serious review in the practice of fair competition review are the primary issues to be solved by the "Detailed Rules".

  To this end, the "Detailed Rules" mainly strengthen the procedural constraints on the fair competition review work in the following aspects: clarify the internal review mechanism, require the formation of written review conclusions, refine the rules and procedures for soliciting opinions, and establish a regular reporting system. More notably, the "Detailed Rules" further clarify the issue of supervision and reporting and accountability, and stipulate that any unit or individual can report to the policy-making authority or report to the superior authority or the anti-monopoly law enforcement agency if the review is not conducted or the review standards are violated.

  Professor Shi Jianzhong, a member of the Expert Advisory Group of the Anti-Monopoly Committee of the State Council and Vice President of China University of Political Science and Law, believes that it is far from enough to establish fair competition censorship, and the cage of the system must be further tightened and tightened. The Detailed Rules explain and refine the relevant provisions of fair competition censorship from the aspects of review mechanisms and procedures, review standards, exception provisions, social supervision, and accountability, ensuring that fair competition review becomes a necessary procedure before the introduction of policies and measures, ensuring that review leaves traces, avoiding self-censorship as a formality, and preventing perfunctory.

  Investigate and punish restrictions on competition

  In July 2017, the National Development and Reform Commission disclosed that the National Development and Reform Commission and the Sichuan Provincial Development and Reform Commission investigated and found that the Chengdu State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission organized a special coordination meeting and issued meeting notes, requiring municipal state-owned enterprises and their wholly-owned and controlling subsidiaries (sub) companies to give priority to insurance services provided by local state-owned enterprises under the same conditions of price and service. Chengdu State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission took the initiative to issue a document to abolish the above meeting notes.

  Rather than establishing rules and regulations, the public is more concerned about practical actions. As fair competition censorship has gradually and solidly advanced across the country, in 2017, many local governments began to strictly review their respective policy documents in accordance with the spirit of Circular 34. During the year, many acts of restricting competition or abusing administrative power to interfere with market competition order have been corrected or are being corrected.

  According to a person from the Price Supervision Bureau of the National Development and Reform Commission, there are currently more than 40 cases of abuse of administrative power to exclude and restrict competition that have been completed or are being handled in various places, and will be disclosed one after another in the near future.

  On December 5, 2017, the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Finance, and the Ministry of Commerce jointly issued the "2017-2018 Work Plan for Cleaning Up Existing Policies to Exclude and Restrict Competition".

  According to the plan, by May 2018, all departments of the State Council and local people’s governments at all levels and their subordinate departments will form a conclusion on the policies and measures to eliminate and restrict competition, and repeal or adjust them according to the procedures. Before July 2018, local people’s governments at all levels and their subordinate departments will conduct a comprehensive summary of the clean-up work, form a written report, and report it level by level. Before November 2018, the inter-ministerial joint conference on fair competition review will organize inspections of the clean-up work of all provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) and departments, and correct those that are not in place.

  Supervision network ride-hailing local policy

  In 2017, the biggest challenge to fair competition censorship was the introduction of local policies on ride-hailing. Many people use local policies on ride-hailing as "test strips" to test whether fair competition reviews are real.

  New regulations on ride-hailing in many places have set up obstacles to the relevant conditions of "people and cars", and "deliberately" shrinking the policy space given to the online car-hailing industry by the Ministry of Transport. In response, Beijing Tianyuan Law Firm recently reported to the relevant anti-monopoly law enforcement agencies that "the detailed rules of online car-hailing in some cities are suspected of violating fair competition censorship and are suspected of abusing administrative power to exclude and restrict competition." At present, the National Development and Reform Commission has started to investigate the situation of local online car-hailing fair competition reviews.

  Under the supervision of the National Development and Reform Commission, in September 2017, Quanzhou, Fujian and Lanzhou, Gansu Province successively revised the previously formulated detailed rules for the implementation of online car-hailing. The adjustment direction includes weakening the personal and household registration restrictions on online car-hailing drivers, lowering the price and technical conditions requirements for online car-hailing vehicles, canceling access restrictions on online car-hailing vehicles and drivers, and canceling other unreasonable restrictions that violate the requirements of the market economy.

  According to a relevant person from the Price Supervision Bureau of the National Development and Reform Commission, many local governments are not copying or forwarding documents in implementing the spirit of Document No. 34, but actually conducting censorship, which is why there are more than 40 cases mentioned above. This is also closely related to the efforts of the development and reform departments to initiate and organize local administrative departments to train and study Document No. 34 and the Detailed Rules. At present, some local governments, especially at the grass-roots municipal and county levels, need to speed up the implementation of fair competition censorship, establish relevant working mechanisms as soon as possible, and really move. In addition, local governments need to come up with practical solutions in specific work implementation, such as the problem of "stock clearance".

On the self-cultivation of top students: BYD joins hands with Horizon to move towards high-level intellectual driving.

  Just after the Spring Festival holiday, BYD began to "strengthen" its friends. On February 19th, BYD launched the glory version of Qin PLUS and destroyer 05, and set the starting price of the two models at 79,800 yuan. A week later, BYD Han and Tang glory models also came on the market. Among them, BYD Han DM-i glory version started at 169,800 yuan, Han EV glory version started at 179,800 yuan, Tang DM-i glory version started at 179,800 yuan, and there were also 2024 Han DM-p God of War versions with a price of 259,800 yuan. Obviously, for the whole automobile market, this price reduction is not only an operation of "lifting the table", but also a blow to all friends in the price range of 100,000-150,000 yuan.

On the Self-cultivation of Top Students: BYD Joins Hands with Horizon to Drive for Higher Order _fororder_image001

  According to the sales data in the first two weeks of March, BYD achieved 38,600 vehicles and 49,100 vehicles respectively. At the same time, thanks to the continuous expansion of the glory family, BYD’s sales in the second week (March 4-March 10) finally returned to more than 40,000 vehicles, which not only surpassed Volkswagen in sales, but also increased by more than 27% from last week. Analysis of the reasons: First, the price war effect of the core product line is remarkable. Up to now, BYD has launched more than 10 glory versions of new cars, from Qin PLUS glory version, Han EV glory version to Seagull glory version, etc., and the main models of BYD Dynasty series and Ocean series have basically completed the annual change.

  Secondly, BYD used "all-category layout+energy revolution+cost control+intelligent upgrade" to fundamentally rob the user population of the joint venture brand. In the past, independent brands wanted to break through the blockade of joint venture brands on the mainstream household market, mostly relying on a single category to break through. The most common one was to make a "flat replacement" for CR-V or RAV4 models. However, with the continuous deepening of BYD’s "vehicle intelligence" strategy, the core advantages of its products no longer rely solely on price, but have achieved a comprehensive breakthrough in driving comfort, economy and intelligence, especially BYD, which has always been considered by the outside world as lacking intelligence. With the cooperation between the 2024 BYD Han EV Glory Edition and Horizon (equipped with Journey 5), BYD, a "top student", has opened the road of high-level intellectual driving.

  Therefore, if BYD’s strategy of "electricity is lower than oil" only makes the joint venture car companies "complain repeatedly", then it is even more painful for friends that this top student whose annual sales just broke 3 million will continue to make progress in 2024.

  There is no time to be quiet, and the intelligent track only has to be rolled up.

  On the 2024 BYD Dream Day held on January 16th this year, Wang Chuanfu announced a new strategy for the intelligent development of enterprise cars — — The whole vehicle is intelligent, and it shows the intelligent strength and future strategic layout to the outside world.

  Taking the automatic driving section as an example, BYD divides the existing DiPilot intelligent driving platform into two systems and multiple gears, among which the L2-oriented auxiliary driving system is uniformly named DiPilot 10 and 30 platforms, while the L2+-oriented high-order intelligent driving system is uniformly named DiPilot 100, 300 and 600, and the newly launched BYD Han EV Glory Edition Eye of God intelligent driving model is built based on DiPilot 100 platform.

  According to official information, the glory version of Han EV with a price of 249,800 yuan is the first model of Yadi Dynasty equipped with the "Eye of the God" DiPilot 100 platform. Its hardware adopts a high-order intelligent driving special computing scheme from the horizon, with a computing power of 128TOPS. Based on the L2+ intelligent driving assistance function, it has upgraded the high-speed navigation NOA and AVP parking service functions of high-speed and urban expressways. It can also achieve driving tasks such as intersection traffic (straight, left turn, right turn, U-turn, etc.), traffic light traffic, overtaking, intelligent obstacle avoidance, merging, lane keeping, cruising driving, lane switching and pedestrian-non-motor vehicle courtesy in urban areas, and the intelligent driving strength has been improved obviously.

  Wang Chuanfu believes that vehicle intelligence can solve two major pain points: First, at present, the industry equates automobile intelligence with intelligent cabin driving, which leads to the narrowing of the concept; Second, most systems of smart cars are purchased and assembled by different suppliers, which leads to the failure of linkage and integration between systems and the inability to truly meet the diverse needs of users.

  Speaking of this, Journey 5 is also the first computing solution in the industry that integrates high-order automatic driving and intelligent interaction. It not only has a computing power of 100, but also has a computing performance of 1718FPS, a delay speed of 60 milliseconds, and a power consumption of 30 watts. From the book data evaluation, it has indeed achieved the characteristics of high computing power, high performance and low power consumption, and hand in hand with BYD Han EV Glory Edition with an annual sales volume of 220,000+. It will also promote NOA’s high-level intelligent driving function to continue to explore models below 250,000 yuan, especially in the face of the core demands of NOA’s "opening the city", "scale" and reducing costs and increasing efficiency in 2024, and the cooperation with Horizon will also help BYD to go more smoothly on the road of high-level intelligent driving.

  Horizon makes BYD’s road to high-level intellectual driving smoother.

On the Self-cultivation of Top Students: BYD Joins Hands with Horizon to Drive for Higher Order _fororder_image004

  Why choose the horizon? From a macro perspective, Horizon is currently the largest intelligent driving computing solution provider in China, and it is also the first intelligent driving computing solution provider in the industry that can support L2~L4 full-scene intelligent driving pre-installation mass production. According to the latest Market Share List of NOA Calculation Scheme for Passenger Cars Front-mounted in China Market in 2023 released by the Institute of Intelligent Automobile of Hi-Tech, Horizon has become the head player after NVIDIA, accounting for 35.49% of the market, and NOA models equipped with Horizon calculation scheme are in the lead at present.

  Obviously, from the perspective of industry status and mass production capacity, Horizon and BYD can be called "suitable".

  Secondly, judging from the bottleneck of NOA track development, the breakthrough of NOA high-level intelligent driving needs to go through three hurdles, namely, cost hurdle, scale hurdle and daily hurdle; At the same time, for car companies, the demand for smart driving products is developing differently. The essence of volume value and volume price comes from the bottleneck of efficiency. The key to solving the problem lies in the reconstruction of the computing base, and all of this is to reduce costs and increase efficiency. The computing scheme based on unified hardware architecture, tool chain and software stack will be the ultimate answer.

On the self-cultivation of top students: BYD joins hands with Horizon to move towards higher-level intelligent driving _fororder_image006

  The brand-new ecological model proposed by Horizon, which is soft and hard full-stack empowerment and cooperation between car companies, is in line with the intelligent demands of the current head car companies. First, Horizon is one of the few players in the industry who have the full-stack capability of software and hardware. In addition to launching Journey 5 and Journey 6 series for high-level intelligent driving, Horizon also has world-class algorithms and leading software technology stack, which realizes the rapid deployment of high-performance algorithms by combining the advantages of software and hardware of Horizon. Second, Horizon is committed to creating an "ARM+Android" model in the era of smart cars through various empowerment methods such as open software IP authorization and BPU IP authorization. Based on the technical scheme of "chip+tool chain+reference algorithm", it will build a software and hardware shelf for intelligent driving, which will help the development and landing of differentiated intelligent driving schemes between car companies and industrial chain partners.

  It can be found that Horizon can not only provide a smart driving calculation scheme covering low, middle and high levels, but also provide a flexible and affordable smart driving scheme, which is just in line with "vehicles that need to travel" like BYD Tang, Song and Seal, and from the user’s point of view, in the future, high-speed pilot-assisted driving functions should also be standard for mid-to high-end brands.

  Obviously, the urban NOA is much more complicated than the high-speed NOA, so it puts forward higher requirements for the ability of the intelligent driving system. At present, only a few car companies have this ability, and with the listing of BYD Han EV Glory Edition, it undoubtedly means that BYD’s "intelligent second half" has taken a step forward successfully, and the platform cooperation of the horizon will also help BYD speed up its intelligence. It is worth mentioning that BYD has officially announced that it will be the first batch of mass-produced intentional cooperative car companies of Horizon Journey 6 series. Based on the cooperation of Journey 6, the two parties will jointly open a new stage of the development of smart driving. (Text: Yang Xiaohong Figure: Horizon BYD)

Meizu: I make products with ingenuity

  Recently, there have been frequent news about Meizu’s new mobile phone on the Internet, probably because the 15th anniversary of Meizu is getting closer and closer. The flagship phone that Huang Zhang personally promised to build for Meizu’s 15th anniversary is highly anticipated, so there are different opinions about this mysterious new product.

  What has attracted the most attention and discussion is the picture of the three openings on the back of the fuselage, which has been interpreted by many people as the design of Meizu’s new machine. There is also news that Meizu’s flyme 7.0 is far away, which has aroused a lot of kerosene emotion. However, these revelations have recently been confirmed to be rumors: the online spy photos have nothing to do with Meizu’s new machine, and flyme 7.0 is not as the revelation said, "It’s still early".

  In fact, Meizu has been able to attract so much attention because of its ingenuity in building products, which has won the recognition and love of the majority of users, and has therefore won more expectations.

  Recently, both Gionee and OPPO have released new products. Gionee has released eight new models, focusing on full-screen. Among them, the MediaTek Helio P30 processor equipped with the mid-to-high-end S11S of Gionee is priced at 3,299 yuan; while OPPO’s new A79 mobile phone is equipped with the MediaTek Helio P23 processor, priced at 2,399 yuan. In comparison, Meizu can be said to be quite kind in terms of price.

  Take Meizu’s recently released flagship model Pro 7 as an example. First of all, the production process is very sophisticated. It uses high-end skills to forge a luxurious texture, a new glossy wire drawing process, and an integrated metal body is forged. The brushed metallic luster is more noble. Even the small card slot is made of all-metal material to ensure the integrity of the fuselage. Whether it is visual or tactile, it creates top-notch craftsmanship. In the design field that Meizu has always been passionate about, the flagship model breaks through the industry design bottleneck and innovatively introduces a dual-screen design, breaking the limitations of the mobile phone industry in the field of screen design. It is deeply recognized and praised by the industry and consumers.

  There is also the Flyme system that must be mentioned when it comes to Meizu. As Meizu’s original system, it provides a strong internal support for the high quality of Meizu mobile phones. The smooth running experience, user-friendly interaction design, and changeable and fast function operation all inject an irreplaceable soul gene into the quality of Meizu mobile phones. The perfect combination of Flyme and dual-screen design brings users a new scene experience in both design appearance and user experience. It is truly a design and product for users, and it shows Meizu’s sincere original intention.

  From the design to the craftsmanship to the Flyme system, it can be seen that Meizu has a serious attitude and craftsman mentality when it comes to the opposite product. And such quality, among similar products, the price is actually more sincere. Generally, products of the level of Meizu Pro 7 have long been priced beyond the actual value of the product. And Pro 7 is based on the principle of one heart to the user, and the price starts at 2499. Properly pricing a high-end model as a "cost-effective" model shows Meizu’s sincerity.

  All along, in the face of the turbulent world, Meizu has not been affected, does not follow the trend, does not deliberately imitate, but adheres to its own philosophy, forges its inner spirit into the product, and speaks with strength. It is precisely because of this seriousness that it is able to make a high-quality product like Pro 7, which is widely recognized and loved by consumers.

  Meizu mobile phones have always been in the spirit of ingenuity, developing products that are truly tailor-made for consumers. It is precisely because of this that when other brands are taking advantage of the time to release new products at the end of the year, Meizu has always been calm and does not act rashly. We have reason to believe that Meizu is brewing a big move for the upcoming 15th anniversary. And from the habit of Meizu always liking innovation and creating high-end quality products, the new machine will definitely bring satisfactory surprises, and also let us give a little more time to our attentive products and look forward to Meizu’s new works together.

Is it realistic to rent a car and run a network to book a car? The old master tells you that you should pay attention to a few "super pits"

Renting a car has always been controversial. I really know this industry very well. Can you rent a car? I tell everyone clearly that you can definitely rent a car. It just needs to be consideredhaveIt’s not a question of whether you can rent a car, but whether you will. There are too many real cases around me, I really can’t count them! In Huaian, Jiangsu, where I am located, basically every company rents3800Yuan, the monthly flow can reach1.2But let me tell you, the so-called "pits" are not visible on the surfaceIt’s called"Pit"! The following "super pits" must be paid attention to!

The first is the mileage limit. When renting a car, if you don’t mention it, they will definitely not take the initiative to bring up this issue. Generally, the rented car will only run for you every month.110,000 kilometers, as long as you run enough miles, you can’t continue running this month. Didn’t you think? As I mentioned above, what you can’t see is the real "pit". 10,000 kilometers of running water is probably1.2About 10,000 yuan, after all, when you usually use the car and pick up passengers, it doesn’t count as money.

1.2Million yuan removed500Yuan household electricity bill, minus300The electricity bill of the Yuan fast charging station, and3800Yuan car rental, you can only have the rest7400Yuan! Under normal circumstances, if you are really going to rely on online car-hailing to eat, every month1Ten thousand kilometers is absolutely not enough. Just this alone, it is estimated that many people can’t bear it.

Secondly, the condition of the car, although the car is used to make money, the condition of the car cannot be ignored. You must not rent that kind of old car, because the battery of the old generation car is not very good, and the shrinkage is more serious. The battery life of more than 400 kilometers can run at most200.About kilometers, this is a very serious matter. Charging is a small matter, mainly to delay making money by yourself. If you can’t rent a new car, don’t hesitate and give up!

Here to talk about, generally GAC Ai’an, Changan Yidong New Energy, Geely Emgrand, GeometryA proThe new BAICEUQichenD60They are all more reliable. I don’t mean that the car is good, but it is more reliable than the entire car rental industry. If you rent a Pentium, the old BAICEU5, then be careful, these cars will be like I said above. Also, the mileage should be less than20Thousands of kilometers, more than20The 10,000-kilometer car’s battery life is basically downhill, which has a relatively large impact on making money and is prone to problems.

Finally, there is the issue of the duration of the contract. If it is signed at one time6Years, don’t hesitate, just give up. The reason is simple, if you can really run6Year, then here6In years, you will definitely choose to buy your own car. If you are not satisfied with running6Years, the same need to pay liquidated damages. Therefore, be sure to be optimistic about the contract period, generally2It is signed once a year or so. Then there is the problem of accidents. The industry standard is that the insurance driver of the year after the accident is carried out. If there is no insurance, the insurance premium will be borne by the company. It depends on how the individual handles it. The insurance fee is about1.2About 10,000 yuan.

If you are addicted to "Animal Crossing", do you know what game literacy is?

Can games be an effective way to learn, and how should we perceive the learning function of games?

The University of Wisconsin-Madison professor James Paul Gee’s book Game-Changed Learning: Game Literacy, Critical Thinking, and the Future of Education provides a model for discussing the relationship between games and learning. For him, a game is a well-designed learning experience in which you can identify problems, understand them, and solve them.

The true potential of the game has yet to be tapped.


"The" sense of play "is everywhere"


The game Pikmin 3.

When it comes to video games, many people’s first reaction is to be addicted and unable to withdraw. They believe that online games can easily lead to negative problems such as declining academic performance or reduced work efficiency, poor eyesight, and withdrawn personality. Is this our misunderstanding of games?

James Paul Gee (author of Games Change Learning: Game Literacy, Critical Thinking, and Education for the Future): People become addicted to anything that brings pleasure, especially when it makes up something that is not there in life. However, pleasure is an important human driver. Without pleasure, one would not want to learn.If we need to deal with a variety of addictive behaviors, we need to identify what the addict is missing in real life and help them find it.In addition, we also need to learn how to make powerful technologies benefit lives rather than harm them.

When my son Sam was six years old, he played a game called Pikmin, which was designed by Shigeru Miyamoto in 2001. You may not know who Shigeru Miyamoto is, but his masterpiece is the famous Super Mario. In Pikmin, the player takes on the role of Captain Olima, whose spaceship crashes to an unknown planet due to a comet impact. Olima can only survive for 30 days, and within 30 days, he must find the missing spaceship parts and escape from the planet. The game sounded interesting, but after watching his grandson play for a few hours, Sam’s grandfather commented, "Although it may be good for the child’s eye-hand coordination, it’s a waste of time because the game has nothing worth learning."This is also a typical misconception that important knowledge is often gained from the subjects taught in schools, and the rest is just "meaningless entertainment". But in fact, games can also generate knowledge.

Jing Sun (Translator of "Games Change Learning: Game Literacy, Critical Thinking, and Future Education"): From the perspective of consumption, in our traditional culture, games and work learning are a set of binary opposing expressions, and this evaluation of traditional games has more or less influenced people’s views on digital games. From the perspective of production, although people currently know that games can play serious functions other than entertainment, and can be used in various scenarios such as education and medical care, there are very few such game products, and the public does not have much access to such games.

Furthermore, contemporary attitudes towards games are mainly divided into "addiction school" and "addiction school". It is obvious that the "addiction school" misunderstands games and advocates that all games are bad. On the contrary, the "addiction school" exaggerates the entertainment function of games and believes that all games are good.Both views are also generational differences between "digital natives" and "digital refugees," but both views are misconceptions of gaming, and ultimately a lack of adequate game literacy.

Upper Study: Game literacy is a very important concept proposed by Professor Ji in the book. What is game literacy?

James Paul Gee: When people play video games, they are learning a new kind of literacy. As an important part of digital literacy, game literacy is not just the ability to understand the game or play the game, but the ability of the player as an active participant to "control" the game symbol system in turn. In the process of playing, the player can not stop at "input" – one-way passive acceptance of the game content, but also be able to "output" – active and critical gaming experience.

In the book, I distinguish between "lowercase games," which are the software you play, and "uppercase games," which are not just the software but also the social interactions and social resources that go with it, so that players can put the game into a social context, go beyond the game itself and reflect on it, discuss it, and even modify it.What we should be focusing on is "capital games," that is, games and all the social elements associated with them. Now, players make this very clear.

Sun Jing: As far as the term "game literacy" is concerned, Professor Ji has laid a solid theoretical foundation for this concept from the perspective of linguistics and pedagogy, which is also the biggest gain I have gained from translating this book. I believe that game literacy is an active and critical game experience. One is the ability to read games, emphasizing the evaluation of games for specific game works, and to understand games in specific social and cultural contexts. The other is the ability to use game writing, that is, to modify and create games, and eventually to use games to express themselves.

When it comes to reading and writing, we usually think of words. Can games become the same medium as words?

Sun Jing: Of course, and it has already happened. In short, game thinking is a way of thinking that solves problems through trial and error, with initiative, exploration, and criticism.Today’s young people are all "game generation", growing up in the infiltration of games. Through games, they can understand traditional media such as literature, television, film, painting, etc. It can be said that the "sense of game" is everywhere, becoming a way for them to understand the world.

James Paul Gee: We’ve known for a long time that people can learn from all kinds of media experiences, just as they learn from real-world experiences. It’s true that sometimes they can’t remember whether what they’re learning came from the real world or from a medium. Games are also gradually becoming a medium like books, and have a deeper impact on people than books. In other words,Books can tell us what an electron is, but games can make us an electron.

"The Secret of the Game"


Laura in the game Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation.

Upper Study: Not everyone who plays games is successful in translating the advantages that come from gaming into their daily lives. What’s going on with some deep gamers who benefit from gaming, while others run into trouble?

James Paul Gee: The same is true for books. What you get out of a book depends on what you read, how you read it, and who you read or discuss with. Compared to other types of reading, a romance novel may not be "spiritual food for thought and practice."But if you read it with a critical perspective and "read it like an author," thinking in your head how to use it, how to change it, how to make it a spiritual imagination, then novels like this can also pay off.

Sun Jing: This is still related to game literacy. If you passively accept the content conveyed by game producers and game works, then players will still have nothing to gain except entertainment pleasure. Even hard-core players, some people are just immersed in the game, excessive consumption of time and money, affecting real life; while others may repeatedly refine strategies, optimize tactics, and become world esports champions. If you want to gain something from the game, you must have enough critical thinking and game literacy, be able to understand the game, and more advanced, be able to use the technical language of the game to solve real life problems.

Upper Study: Whether it is learning or gaming, difficulty and skills are the key parameters. In games, it is very common to not give up even if you are turned into a slag in seconds, and it is very common to not sleep until you complete the level. Why can players enjoy immersing themselves in the game, but be hesitant to learn?

James Paul Gee: This can be called the secret of games. I’ve played a lot of games and found that a good game has a characteristic: almost every problem has multiple solutions. Players can choose strategies that suit their learning, thinking, and acting styles, which is a great motivator and a rich resource for reflecting on their behavior and problem-solving. I wrote this book to help people uncover this secret, find effective ways to coordinate game skills and task difficulty, and then apply the corresponding game thinking to learning to make learning fun and effective.

Upper Study: Professor Ji mentioned in the book that one of the spiritual cores of the game is critical reflection. How is criticism reflected in the game?

James Paul Gee: I had this experience in the game Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation. You play as Lara, a teenage girl, who follows an archaeologist, Professor von Croix, on an expedition through a Cambodian temple. The professor once told Lara to follow him and not stray from his path. But I found that if you follow the professor’s orders, you risk missing out on a lot of hidden treasure. Good games have a mechanism that encourages players to try, question and break the rules, and such experiences not only enhance the fun of the game, but also cultivate critical thinking.In this way, players no longer rely on various operation guides, get rid of the established routine of completing tasks, and even jump out of the rules. They will also reflect on the values that the entire game mechanism has shaped.

Jing Sun: It can be said that critical reflection underpins game thinking. In fact, critical reflection may not have been ubiquitous in the general public at every stage of history, from Plato’s "The Parable of the Cave" to Kant and Foucault’s "What is Enlightenment". At present, people are faced with too much information, and the discourse of power operates in more subtle ways in daily life, which can also affect the way some people understand the world. Because of this, we need to emphasize the cultivation of critical thinking.

James Paul Gee: Just to add that critical thinking is not the same in different fields of knowledge and practice, for any branch of science, law, game design, or gardening. Critical thinking involves understanding how to make and use knowledge, principles, and methods in a given field to discover, to criticize, and to solve problems. In order to produce critical thinking in any meaningful dimension, we need to teach people how to acquire knowledge in that field, for example, the spread of viruses, the nature of video games, or the role of government, and how to use that knowledge to cooperate with people to solve problems and reach effective criticism,The purpose of criticism is to construct, not to destroy. We need to use knowledge as a tool, not rote for exams.

"The game is always changing."

But the problem we have to face is that the game industry is mixed, and not all games are suitable for teenagers. What kind of digital games can have great appeal and practical benefits for children?

James Paul Gee: Like choosing a book, teenagers are left to decide on their own which games are good. In any case, we want teenagers not to jump in without thinking, but to think like designers and ultimately learn to "design" their lives with their own experiences, using a variety of different tools and effective ways to become good people. They will also become teachers and parents, and hopefully they will be able to "design" quality experiences for their children and students.

We can learn from games that schools should not be designed as warehouses of past knowledge, but as a source of imagination that can make life and society better.

Jing Sun: The quality of game works is uneven, which is normal, because novels, movies and other art works also have the same problem. Teenagers are still in the stage of exploring the world and learning to learn, so it is not suitable for game products that emphasize consumption. Consumption here includes both money consumption and time consumption. Therefore, video games that emphasize exploration and creation with one-time payment are more suitable for teenagers to play.

As for how we can learn from good video games to design learning models and education systems, Professor Ji gives a detailed answer in the book. He lists 36 principles, including building situations, encouraging exploration, and understanding fun groups. This kind of education can not only make children feel interesting and learn knowledge, but more importantly, it can cultivate their way of thinking, which will benefit them for life.

The current challenge we are facing is how to use the unique projective identity of games to construct meaningful "second classrooms" outside of school education and in the game world. This poses a challenge to current game design. Can we change the crude way of mass production of games that look at money, and make games that are not only formal and slogans, but also thought-provoking?

James Paul Gee: I talk a lot about projected identity in my books. Projected identity in a video game is when the player projects their identity on a virtual character or stand-in, performing some form of action, and the player accepts the stand-in’s values, goals, and identity.I believe that we are also adapting to our new identities in the real world in the same way. If we want to learn science, we need to accept being a scientist before we can really use scientific knowledge in depth.

Developing a science game is easier for students to experience as a scientist than learning, at least in the United States. In reality, however, schools can do the same if the school space is properly adjusted to have a strong interaction with the world outside the school, the virtual world, the simulation world and the game world.

We need to change not only the profit-driven approach to the mass production of games, but also current classroom teaching and schooling to develop problem-solving strategies and plan for an entirely new future. In the United States, this often stems from the need for standardization and profit in the textbook industry, at the expense of critical thinking and problem-solving. Putting multiple design technologies (including literacy) at the service of design thinking, problem-solving in deep collaboration, and ensuring that we all serve in a rapidly changing, high-stakes complex world will only get better when people discover the importance of this approach. For now, we must pay more attention to the future and use the past to imagine the future, otherwise we humans will not have the future.

Driven by the digital revolution, new technologies such as virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and artificial intelligence (AI) are changing the learning environment. Will games under the new technologies affect people’s learning ability more deeply?

James Paul Gee: It’s critical for people to realize that digital games are a very cutting-edge and rapidly changing technology. If you compare games from 1995 to games today, there are a lot of differences between the two. New game genres are being discovered and made. The types of games we’ve made, maybe only 1% of future games, still have a lot of room for imagination and creativity. Games are always changing, and this trend will continue as games merge with other technologies like VR, AR, and AI. Emerging social games and cooperative games will also be developed. This is a powerful technology that is undoubtedly critical to economic, cultural, and even social development.

People need to realise that when it comes to books, most of what they hear are "bestsellers". However, there is an important and growing industry of indie games that make games from the fields of art, medicine, design, science, collective intelligence and more. Above all, it is important to realise what digital game technology really means. It is a virtual imagination, based on important choices, strategic thinking and learning from failure. It is also an external active imagination, based on well-designed and carefully directed virtual experiences that allow players to merge their identity with real-world experiences.

Sun Jing: I also think that the answer is yes. In the real world, learning resources and feedback cycles are limited, and games can create more diverse and rich learning scenarios by simulating reality and fiction. For example, there are VR games that specifically train medical students to perform surgery, which can provide operators with real-time feedback and accurately complete surgical training.

Good games typically convey knowledge and shape people’s way of thinking, while good educational games can also stimulate interest in learning, create a more immersive learning environment, and provide a more fulfilling formative evaluation.With them, you and I can not only become the "number one player", but also benefit our future learning and lifelong education.
