After independent declaration by enterprises, review by local departments, expert review and publicity by municipal departments, Longwan wanda plaza, Park Road Historical and Cultural Block, Zhonggeng Wandering World, Impression Nantang Style Pedestrian Street and Dongtou Leek ‘ao Beach Park were finally selected as the Moonlight Economic Cluster and Demonstration Sites in Wenzhou City.

Longwan wanda plaza

Since 2020, Longwan wanda plaza has started to promote the development of moonlight economy projects. After three years of planning, night economic development has begun to take shape, including trunk market, fashion leisure square, parent-child play, late-night food, music festival and so on. Later, modules such as music corridor, national tide street and tide shopping will be developed one after another.

Up to now, wanda plaza has held fireworks fairs with different themes for four years in a row, such as Wanshi Daji, Different YOUNG Market and Antique Market, and invited Wenzhou local bands to hold more than 200 night economic activities such as camping music festivals in the outer square, with an average daily passenger flow of over 50,000 and a holiday passenger flow of over 100,000.

In the next step, Longwan wanda plaza will focus on the introduction of night consumption IP development and the opening of market projects, continue to carry out night cultural theme activities, and strive to promote the pilot construction of moonlight economy industry in wanda plaza.

Gongyuan road historical and cultural block

Park Road historical and cultural block takes culture as the breakthrough point, and on the basis of retaining the traditional Wenzhou living format of Park Road, it adds non-genetic inheritance, cultural experience, street life, traditional food, homestay inn, leisure and entertainment, supporting business and fashionable catering to complement the original format, and strives to make the block a benchmark for urban core cultural and business travel.

In recent years, fun cultural activities, such as blocking the street, Hanfu, national tide flash parade, folk taste experience activities, immersive clothing street show, Zanhua market, spring market, "summer fun nightlife" market, antique market, sports night and so on, have been constantly presented, and many good plays with strong regional characteristics, such as Yue opera, Wenzhou drum performance, Ou Yue landscape poetry recitation, have been staged on the ancient stage in turn.

The street block closely combines Wenzhou’s Song Yunou style with the aesthetics of fireworks life, and new formats are constantly emerging, which endows the night market with popularity through the traffic attributes of the street block and drives the new growth of night consumption.

Zhong Geng you man Tian di

Zhong Geng Roaming World is located in the core of ouhai district CBD. By creating characteristic night scenes, combining with rich and wonderful performances and constantly changing the stalls and forms of categories, the new "play" of moonlight economy is realized.

As the largest wai-wai square in Wenzhou’s main city, relying on the square public space of over 20,000 square meters, Zhonggeng Roaming World has built three central squares, namely Lohas Square, Chaotong Square and Creation Square, which span and connect six office corridors. Combined with business planning and scene creation, it has gathered the characteristic food, entertainment, fashion, literary play and creation market, forming a "flagship" of fashionable and personalized social interaction.

In the next step, the block will cooperate with the cultural tourism department to create a "literary spark to beautify" project, which will be presented with the theme of Four Seasons Music Box. As a commercial supporting project of the Dragon Boat Base, the venue of the Dragon Boat Race in the Asian Games, dragon boat elements are added to the original night market activities, which helps the Asian Games and adds a unique cultural innovation vitality to the block night market.

Impression nantang style pedestrian street

In recent years, Impression Nantang Scenic Area has become the "golden business card" of Wenzhou night tourism, creating a business pattern of night scene+night shopping+night entertainment+night leisure, with distinctive economic characteristics at night, which has formed agglomeration effect and brand effect.

"Tanghe Night Painting" is an important part of the "Moonlight Economy" in Nantang Scenic Area. It highlights the local cultural heritage of Wenzhou in the form of light and shadow technology and real-life interpretation, and shows the urban temperament of "poetry and painting landscapes, a warm state". The "Nantang Night Shop" in the block is another feature of the pedestrian street. Apart from the fashionable, literary and retro street, there are also online celebrity cuisine and various local snacks to satisfy the taste buds of tourists.

Since the block was fully opened, the average annual passenger flow has reached 5 million, and the annual rent and self-operated income can reach more than 50 million yuan. In the next step, with the advantage of Wenzhou cultural industry, the block will improve supporting industries such as creative planning, venue management and exhibition design, and create a special festival cultural exhibition block.

Dongtou Jiucaiao Beach Park

In recent years, Wenzhou Dongtoumuxinhe Cultural Tourism Development Co., Ltd. has broken through the original beach entertainment mode and introduced 10 new marine sports products, such as rainbow parasailing, sailing, sea motorboat and trapeze performance, which has made its popularity "prosperous".

Chive ‘ao Beach focuses on creating a special seafood snack block, Dongtou intangible cultural heritage workshop, music night market, local folk performing arts, sea garden fireworks festival, sea drone light show, bonfire party, fishing port night tour, island star watching, camping and other projects, realizing the full connection of "day viewing+night consumption" and enriching the collection of "night tour, night rest, night banquet, night appreciation, night tour.

In order to solve the dilemma of inconvenient transportation on the island and enrich the highlights of coastal leisure and holiday tourism, the recently built Leek Ao Blue Bay Resort Center opened in July to welcome guests, which perfectly matched the night economy of Leek Ao Beach and injected new vitality into the scenic spot. In the next step, we will continue to explore the local culture of Dongtou and the island characteristics of moonlight economy, so that the traffic will become "reserved" and continue to light up the moonlight economy.

Hongshan Jiayuan is the only affordable directional resettlement housing project on the second ring road, which is mainly used to resettle the relocated residents in Qianmen historical and cultural protection area, with a total construction area of more than 1.44 million square meters. It is a key project at two levels in the urban area. At present, more than 3000 migrant workers from Anhui, Henan, Jiangsu and other places are fighting on the construction site. In order to make the peasant brothers in Beijing master the knowledge and skills of safe construction as soon as possible and enrich their spare time, Chongwen District Urban Construction and Development Company has established the largest night school for migrant workers in Beijing.

Xu Hejian, deputy director of the Propaganda Department of Beijing Municipal Committee, director of the Information Office of the Municipal Government, and member of the Organizing Committee of the 13th Beijing International Film Festival, mentioned in his speech that movies, as an icebreaker of cultural mutual trust, provided an important platform and broad space for cultural exchanges and created potential and opportunities for communication and dialogue in the touch and integration of different countries and local cultures. Especially in the increasingly frequent and diverse cultural exchanges, movies have unique value in constructing the discourse system of China’s cultural communication to the outside world, and have become cultural messengers to promote exchanges and mutual learning among different civilizations. In his speech, caojun, member of the Party Committee, Deputy Secretary-General and second-class inspector of the China Film Association, said that in the great new era, China filmmakers should work together to build a bridge of light and shadow, and use this bridge to connect China with the world, bring the world’s appearance to the audience in China and tell the story of China to the world. Chen Ling, Party Secretary and Curator of china national film museum, said that film, as a common art form of human beings, is an important carrier for people all over the world to communicate with each other, with great cultural power and appeal.

"Reading thousands of books, taking Wan Li Road and shooting several films" is really a very important life experience.

Documentary director and producer Jimmy Chin excitedly showed his photos taken as a professional climber and skier to the audience and other guests, and said that it was his first time to attend the Beijing International Film Festival, where he could look at the development and challenges of the film from different angles. The production of movies is full of enthusiasm and passion, and movies are the best way to bring human beings together across countries and regions.

Huang Jianxin, a famous director and producer, said that the current international situation has brought many puzzles and challenges, and the film just has the power to break through culture, which is a way of communication that can be more simple through visual language. He believes that in film cooperation, filmmakers are always equal and there is no gap, and it is this strength and pursuit that promotes exchanges and cooperation among film countries.

Hu Zhifeng, a professor and doctoral supervisor of Beijing Film Academy, pointed out that the film is irreplaceable because of its intuitiveness, vividness and depth, which can enter the depths of human emotions. Making a good film is the common aspiration of filmmakers all over the world. Film cooperation is the common aspiration of filmmakers, and it is also a common vision. It is expected that filmmakers from all countries can use the bridge of light and shadow to promote mutual understanding of civilizations.

Ivan Tverdov, a Russian director and screenwriter, said at the forum that we are very optimistic about the cooperation between Russia and China now. We have a good foundation for cooperation, because we share common values, and the filmmakers of the two countries will work together to create a bright future for the film.

Wang Zhonglei, co-founder, vice chairman and CEO of Huayi Brothers Media Co., Ltd. said that the changes and development of the market and economy have changed the co-productions, and now the co-productions are facing new challenges and new situations. In addition to copying the successful experience of past cooperation, we need to have more exchanges and cooperation with international advanced film production companies to spread the culture and ideas of China.

Yang Xianghua, president of Aiqiyi Film and Overseas Business Group, said that Aiqiyi, as a streaming media platform, has three major tasks, namely, introducing a large number of excellent foreign films, spreading China films to foreign audiences, and promoting more cooperative shooting of domestic and foreign films.

Yin Hong, a professor at Tsinghua University School of Journalism and Communication, said that to keep the door open for movies, we should continue to deepen cooperation in creation, marketing, production and distribution, and jointly explore the international film market, so as to achieve the role of mutual learning among civilizations.

Zhao Fang, president of Warner Bros. Exploration Group in China, said that the China market is full of opportunities and cannot be ignored. Warner has always been committed to China and attached importance to the China market. During the development of China from a big movie country to a powerful movie country, Warner will continue to strengthen content cooperation and personnel training, and make contributions to the story of China.

"Forum for International Cooperation of Film Powers-Promoting Mutual Learning of Civilizations through the Bridge of Light and Shadow" is rich in content, broad in vision and novel in ideas, and has conducted in-depth discussions on international film cooperation in the ideological collision and wisdom confrontation between Chinese and foreign filmmakers.

On the evening of December 12, WANDA CINEMAS announced that the company had recently received a notice that Wanda Culture Group, Beijing Hengrun and Mr. Wang Jianlin signed the Equity Transfer Agreement with Ruyi Investment, which they intend to hold respectively.Wanda Investment holds 20%, 29.8% and 1.2% equity (holding 51% equity of Wanda Investment in total).Transferred to Confucianism and Italy, the total transfer price is 2.155 billion yuan.

After the completion of the 51% equity transfer, it can be said that Wang Jianlin cleared all the equity of Wanda Investment he held. This is undoubtedly a major turning point for WANDA CINEMAS.

An internal employee of WANDA CINEMAS told the reporter of national business daily on the phone earlier that in October this year, the administrative director and financial director sent by China’s Confucianism and Italy took the lead to settle in WANDA CINEMAS, but other businesses have not changed significantly at present. "As a terminal, even if there is a change, there will be a lag, or the impact is not so great."

Wang Jianlin once made no secret of his ambition for the cultural industry. Many years ago, when faced with the news that Disneyland had settled in Shanghai, he boldly declared that it would be difficult for Disney to make a profit in the next 20 years. He clearly realized that China’s real estate industry has developed for more than 20 years, and in another 15-20 years, this industry may gradually shrink. In order to ensure the sustainable development of Wanda, he understands that the company must turn to diversified fields such as culture and tourism.

In order to realize this transformation, Wanda carried out a major overseas merger and acquisition as early as 2012, and acquired AMC Entertainment Holding Company, the second largest cinema in the United States, which was the first overseas merger and acquisition in China film history. Since then, Wanda Cinema has successively launched a fixed-income plan since July 2015, and plans to acquire 100% equity of Hoyts, the second largest cinema in Australia, and 100% equity of Muwei Fashion and Chongqing Shimao Cinema Management Company, a domestic film data company.

Wanda also owns its own listed company, wanda cinema line, which is in the leading position in the domestic industry and is regarded as an important quality asset of Wanda Culture Group by the outside world. However, affected by the epidemic situation in recent years and other factors, WANDA CINEMAS has also experienced some difficulties. According to the financial report data, in 2019 and 2020, the company lost 4.729 billion yuan and 6.669 billion yuan respectively. Although it achieved a slight profit in 2021, it fell into a loss again in 2022, with a net profit loss of 1.923 billion yuan.

The above-mentioned employees in WANDA CINEMAS told reporters that in recent years, the benefits of Wanda Real Estate have been sluggish, and they often need the support of business management and cultural groups.

Today, Wang Jianlin bid farewell to the original film and television dream.

"Before the epidemic, Wang Jianlin expressed his dissatisfaction with WANDA CINEMAS at the year-end summary meeting for two consecutive years. After the annual party, he will come to our floor, which impressed me deeply. He said in a bad tone that the cinema earned less and the company didn’t keep idle people. The film industry as a whole is only tens of billions a year, which can’t help the big group. " The employee recalled Wang Jianlin’s deep impression on the film and television business.

The magical divine comedy "Little Apple" was once a smash hit, and the trader behind it was Ke Liming, and "Little Apple" was also the propaganda song of the film "The Old Boy Raptors Crossing the River" that he was the owner of the real controller.

Looking back on the first anniversary： how did the escalation of the Ukrainian crisis change the world？

　　On February 24, 2022, local time, in Kharkov, Ukraine, black smoke rose from a military airport in Chuguyev near Kharkov. Russian President Vladimir Putin announced military action against Ukraine on February 24, 2022, and then explosions were heard all over the country. Vision china diagram

　　On February 24, 2022, the Ukrainian crisis suddenly escalated. Looking back on this year, people deeply feel the impact of this crisis on the world.

　　Over the past year, what has changed is not only the jagged confrontation front, but also NATO’s aid to Ukraine from protective helmets to main battle tanks, and the increasing number of casualties every day, as well as the European economy that is constantly losing blood, the doubled electricity and flour bills of Hungarian bakeries, and the high feed price faced by Tunisian farmers … … This "the largest military conflict in Europe since the 21st century" has brought severe global security challenges, drastic geopolitical changes and extensive economic and social impacts, far exceeding expectations.

　　Over the past year, more and more people of insight in the world have realized that the United States is clinging to unilateralism, hegemonism and the Cold War mentality, playing geopolitical games under the banner of ideology, and its various bad actions are fundamentally shaking world peace and stability. When the world is in turmoil and intertwined, only by adhering to peace, development, cooperation and win-win, replacing division with unity, confrontation with cooperation and exclusion with tolerance, is the correct way for human society to overcome the difficulties together.

　　On March 3, 2022, in Kiev, the capital of Ukraine, children looked out of the window on a train bound for Lviv. Vision china diagram

　　The security situation is even more severe.

　　Artillery, tanks, drones, smoke, ruins, refugees … … Similar images are scrolled on TV and social media almost every day, telling the world that the intensity of this conflict has not diminished with the passage of time. On the contrary, the western countries led by the United States are trying their best to defeat Russia, and the global security situation is facing the risk of spiral deterioration.

　　Under the leadership of the United States, NATO continued to send weapons and equipment to Ukraine, providing personnel training and intelligence support, which constantly fueled the crisis. Since the Biden administration came to power, the total amount of military assistance promised by the United States to Ukraine has reached $30 billion. From the initial provision of non-lethal military equipment such as helmets to the provision of lethal weapons such as individual anti-tank missiles, to the provision of heavy weapons such as armored vehicles and self-propelled artillery, recently, it promised to provide main battle tanks and began to discuss the provision of offensive weapons such as fighter jets. The western aid to the Ukrainian army has been continuously upgraded. NATO has continuously strengthened its military deployment in the surrounding areas of Russia, such as Eastern Europe and the Baltic countries, actively recruited Sweden and Finland into the treaty, and NATO member countries such as Germany, France and Denmark have substantially increased their defense expenditures. These actions are constantly stimulating Russia’s security nerves.

　　In the view of Hungarian Prime Minister Orban, Europe "has actually indirectly fought with Russia", "We will soon hear the so-called ‘ Peacekeeping forces ’ This kind of thing. " Fyodor Lukjanov, research director of the Valdai International Debate Club in Russia, believes that the supply of tanks by the West to Ukraine is likely to lead Russia and NATO to the brink of direct conflict. In an interview with Tass news agency, Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov also warned that western policies aimed at comprehensively containing Russia are extremely dangerous and may lead to direct armed conflicts between nuclear powers.

　　In response to western military pressure, Russia is also stepping up its military strength and demonstrating its strategic deterrent capability. On the one hand, the Russian army increased its attack on the military, communications and energy infrastructure of Ukraine in order to undermine the potential of the Ukrainian war. On the other hand, Russia has expanded its military strength through partial mobilization, and plans to carry out large-scale adjustment from 2023 to 2026, expanding the number of troops to 1.5 million, and at the same time strengthening equipment supply guarantee and infrastructure construction to meet national defense needs.

　　The reason why this crisis has reached this stage lies in the fact that NATO, led by the United States, sticks to the Cold War mentality, indulges in zero-sum games and is keen on camp confrontation, trying to weaken Russia to the maximum extent through "proxy war". "With the closure of the dialogue channel, the artillery became a megaphone." Pan Kajie Mishra, a columnist of Bloomberg News, wrote that the escalating military assistance from the United States and Europe to Ukraine has opened a "dangerous new era" in global politics.

　　Geopolitical map remodeling

　　As Mishra said, the escalation of the Ukrainian crisis profoundly reshaped the global geopolitical pattern.

　　The confrontation between the west and Russia, led by the United States, has intensified. Fu Limin, a former US Assistant Secretary of Defense and senior diplomat, said in an interview with Xinhua News Agency a few days ago that US President Biden repeatedly stressed that the US supports Ukraine "as long as it takes". If Biden’s meaning is consistent with that of US Secretary of Defense Austin, that is, the main goal of the United States is to weaken and isolate Russia, then this goal will not only be achieved, but also lead to a series of negative consequences. If the bloody conflict continues for a long time, it will not be good for Europe, Russia, Ukraine and the United States.

　　There is a growing rift between Europe, which has been hit, and the United States, which is profiting from it. At the beginning of the escalation of the Ukrainian crisis, Europe and the United States showed a gesture of "unity", but soon Europe strongly felt the anti-itself effect brought by sanctions against Russia: energy prices soared, prices rose sharply, and people complained. The United States not only sold energy and arms to Europe at high prices, but also enacted the Inflation Reduction Act and the Chip and Science Act of 2022, which contained huge industrial subsidies and overbearing provisions to curb competition, seriously hurting European interests and causing strong dissatisfaction among European countries. Michele Geraci, former Italian Deputy Minister of Economic Development, said that NATO’s eastward expansion under the leadership of the United States is one of the root causes of the escalation of the Ukrainian crisis, and the cost of the crisis is mainly borne by Europe.

　　Most developing countries refuse to take sides and show their willingness to be independent. The US government once pressured Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and other allies in the Middle East to increase oil production to lower international oil prices, and cooperated with Western sanctions against Russia, resulting in a cold reception. At the 59th Munich Security Conference held a few days ago, the leaders of the United States and other western countries trumpeted the "Russian threat theory", which was refuted by developing countries. Colombian Vice President Francesca Marquez said: "We don’t want to continue to discuss who will win or lose the war. We are all losers. " The Financial Times website pointed out that some leaders in African and South American countries were obviously disappointed. They believed that the Ukrainian crisis consumed time, money and attention at the expense of other pressing issues.

　　In fact, developing countries are increasingly dissatisfied with the western-led international order. The Munich Security Report 2023 released by the Mu An Conference pointed out that the escalation of the Ukrainian crisis has brought challenges to the international order, and many Asian, African and Latin American countries have "reasonable dissatisfaction" with the existing international order. Such dissatisfaction needs to be respected and the world needs to reshape the vision of the international order.

　　On June 15th, 2022, local time, in Donbass region, Ukrainian soldiers opened fire on Russian positions on the front line of Donbass region in eastern Ukraine with a French Caesar gun of 155 mm /52 times caliber. Vision china diagram

　　Spillover effects spread all over the world

　　Faced with the double price of tomatoes, rice, eggs and other foods, Egyptian garbage collector Abdarrahman had to find a part-time job at night to support three children; Meria, a small Tunisian farmer, could not afford the surge in the cost caused by the surge in feed prices and had to sell one-third of his livestock to reduce losses; Margit, a Hungarian bread shop owner, watched the natural gas bill rise more than six times and his business was in trouble … … The escalation of the Ukrainian crisis, especially the severe western sanctions against Russia, has had a major impact on the economic and social fields of various countries, and the spillover effect has spread all over the world.

　　On the economic level, the prices of food, energy and other commodities have risen, which has aggravated global inflation. Russia is a major producer of oil and natural gas in the world. Many rounds of western sanctions against Russia interfered with and destroyed the market mechanism, which led to a record high in European natural gas prices. Russia and Ukraine are both major grain exporters, and the conflict has blocked the exports of the two countries. In particular, the western countries set up "hidden barriers" against Russian agricultural products exports, which caused Russian exporters to be "stuck in the neck" in many links, and international food prices fluctuated greatly. According to the data of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, in 2022, a total of about 205 million people in 45 countries and regions were in a state of "crisis" or more serious food insecurity, with a significant increase over the previous year. According to the latest data of the International Monetary Fund, the global inflation rate was 8.8% in 2022, much higher than 4.7% in 2021. The inflation rates in the United States, Europe and Japan are all at high points in decades, and the inflation situation in some emerging markets and developing economies such as Turkey and Argentina is even more severe.

　　On the social level, the escalation of the Ukrainian crisis triggered a new wave of refugees, which also aggravated the global poverty problem. Over the past year, millions of refugees have fled Ukraine, forming the largest refugee tide in Europe since World War II, crowding out public resources such as housing, education and medical care in European countries, making the finances of these countries overwhelmed and posing a severe test to their social security and coordination capabilities. From a global perspective, high food prices have the most serious impact on the poorest people in the world. According to the World Bank’s estimation, for every 1% increase in food prices, 10 million people in the world will fall into extreme poverty. The intensification of inflation is also intensifying social contradictions in many countries, and protests and riots caused by the decline in purchasing power occur from time to time.

　　On November 13th, 2022, local time, members of a Ukrainian family were reunited for the first time since Russian troops withdrew from Hellson. Vision china diagram

　　At present, the Ukrainian crisis has no signs of calming down, and the spillover effect on the world economy and society will continue. Georgieva, managing director of the International Monetary Fund, said that the Ukrainian crisis was the "biggest negative factor" facing the world economy in 2022, and it may be the same in 2023.

　　劝和促谈方为正道

　　乌克兰危机负载着上世纪冷战遗留的历史问题，凸显当下百年大变局中的复杂博弈。

　　世界又一次站在历史的十字路口。

　　中国对冲突扩大化、长期化感到担忧。一年来，中国始终站在和平一边，站在对话一边，倡导共同、综合、合作、可持续的安全观，为推动局势降温、尽早实现停火止战和避免人道主义危机作出努力。

　　回顾中方历次表态，劝和促谈始终是关键词，呼吁理性冷静一以贯之。

　　从冲突发生的第二天起，习近平主席就提议通过对话寻求政治解决争端。习近平主席明确指出，冲突战争没有赢家，复杂问题没有简单答案，大国对抗必须避免。他多次同法国、德国、美国等国领导人和欧盟等区域组织负责人通话，清晰阐明在乌克兰问题上的立场主张：“各国主权、领土完整都应该得到尊重，联合国宪章宗旨和原则都应该得到遵守，各国合理安全关切都应该得到重视，一切有利于和平解决危机的努力都应该得到支持”，“要坚持劝和促谈”“要防止出现更大规模人道主义危机”“要构建欧洲和亚欧大陆持久和平”“要防止局部冲突扩大化”。

　　2022年4月，习近平主席提出全球安全倡议，为应对国际安全挑战、实现世界长治久安提出中国方案，在国际上获得广泛认同与支持。日前，中国政府发布《全球安全倡议概念文件》，为解决全球安全难题提供更系统的思路、更可行的举措。

　　巴基斯坦总理夏巴兹·谢里夫说，全球安全倡议倡导协同合作的发展方式，这超越了通过强权竞争与军备竞赛来实现自身安全最大化的零和思维。印尼智库亚洲创新研究中心主席班邦·苏尔约诺表示，不同于某些西方国家片面追求自身安全的思维，中国提出的全球安全倡议追求的是共同安全，是强调和平、合作的安全观，有利于建立相互尊重、平等互信的国际秩序，对人类实现持久和平与长远发展具有重要意义。

　　观察人士指出，人类社会绝不能重走阵营对立、分裂对抗的老路，绝不能陷入零和博弈、战争冲突的陷阱。建设一个更加安全的世界，是各国人民的强烈愿望，是世界各国的共同责任，更是时代前进发展的正确方向。全球安全倡议所倡导的理念主张，所提出的“支持通过对话谈判政治解决乌克兰危机等热点问题”的具体路径，为化解危机、维护世界和平稳定提供了重要指引。

Lingnan in the film： shooting a grand theme, but also starting with family eating and drinking.

On December 18th, 2023, director Cai Jie’s first feature film "People Traveling Together" was officially selected as the "Bright Future" unit of the 53rd Rotterdam International Film Festival, which will be the European premiere of this film. Previously, the film has been shortlisted for Busan International Film Festival and Pingyao International Film Festival. This Cantonese film, filmed in Guangzhou and Hong Kong, tells the story of Guangzhou girl Mai Wanting going to Hong Kong to find her father. Mai Wanting is about to get married, but she is a marginal figure in her fiance’s family. My father was a businessman who came to the mainland from Hong Kong to run an orchard many years ago. As the English film title Borrowed Time implies, my mother’s marriage is an unpredictable "borrowed time".

In Hongkong, Wan Ting met her half-brother, who told her story of getting lost in a horse farm in Guangzhou when she was a child. She also reunited with the boy she met when she was young because she bought a bite-sized disc, and now she is studying for a doctorate in anthropology in Hong Kong. They followed the projected picture of the tropical jungle and crossed the boundary that is both real and illusory. Finally, Wan Ting met his father at the fruit stall. The two men looked at each other for a long time, and the film came to an abrupt end.

Guangzhou and Hong Kong, the past and the present, reality and dreams, "Traveling with People" jumps lightly between multiple time and space. Because two photographers are in charge of the mirror, the paragraphs in Guangdong and Hong Kong show different tones.

The producer of the film is Guan Jinpeng, a well-known director in Hong Kong and the author of Ruan Lingyu and Rouge Kou. production designer Albert Poon has cooperated with Xu Anhua for many times in films such as Sister Tao, and with the participation of Hong Kong actors such as Sun Yang and Taibao, the origin of "A Crowd of People Traveling Together" and Hong Kong films is clear at a glance.

Cai Jie was born in Chaozhou, Guangdong Province in 1988. Lin Dongping, the actor of Mai Wanting, and Wang Yin, the screenwriter of the film, were all his alumni when they were undergraduates at Guangzhou University. They joined the community and made short films together on campus. In 2014, "Returning to the Province", which was shortlisted for Busan International Short Film Festival, was the product of their cooperation.

In 2012, Cai Jie came to the Tibetan area in western Sichuan to shoot the master’s graduation short film "Buddha Children on the Clouds". For more than ten years, Cai Jie took coming to western Sichuan every summer to follow the growth of two Buddha children as a special holiday, and now they have returned to the customs one after another. Cai Jie used to be a reporter, and later returned to Guangzhou University as a teacher in the direction of editing and directing. In class, he told students about the history and types of documentaries, and made a pull-tab for Hou Xiaoxian’s Childhood and Hirokazu Koreeda’s Nobody Know. He wanted to give some inspiration to students’ creation through Nobody Know: how to develop a work from news events or social issues around him.

"A Crowd of People Traveling Together" uses a large number of sound samples from the streets of Guangzhou, litchi trees shaken in the wind and rain, villages in the city with lights at night, and blocks with old photos. These empty shots are also impressive. "The film skillfully uses warm light and clever photography skills to capture this inner journey and shuttle between the boundaries of circulation." The official recommendation of the Busan Film Festival Organizing Committee reads.

During the filming of "Traveling Together", Cai Jie also finished his doctoral thesis at the Central Academy of Drama, sorting out mainland films set in Lingnan since 1978. Nowadays, "People Traveling Together" is naturally placed in this context. In Pingyao and Guangzhou, Southern Weekend reporters interviewed Cai Jie.

The US Defense Secretary visited Israel and said that the war will transition to the next stage, from ＂large-scale fighting to low-intensity conflict.＂

Israeli Defense Minister galante said in Tel Aviv on the 18th that the Israeli army’s operations in the Gaza Strip will gradually transition to the next stage.

It is reported that US Defense Secretary Austin visited Israel on the same day and met with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu and galante to discuss the situation in the Gaza Strip.

At a joint press conference after his talks with galante, Austin said that he had discussed with Israeli Defense Minister galante how to reduce the harm to civilians, and mentioned that the war would transition from "large-scale fighting to low-intensity conflict". "Any campaign will have several stages, and we will continue to urge (Israel) to protect civilians during the conflict and increase humanitarian assistance into Gaza."

Galante said that the Israeli army will continue to carry out operations with different intensities according to the situation in the Gaza Strip, and will soon be able to distinguish different regions. In "every region where we complete our mission", we will gradually transition to the next stage. The northern Gaza Strip may achieve this goal faster than the southern Gaza Strip.

In addition, some American officials predict that Israel may gradually adopt a low-intensity and localized war strategy before January next year, including targeting specific Hamas militants and leaders.

Some analysts said that Austin’s visit can be called "a delicate balancing act". Because Netanyahu’s violent bombing of Gaza has triggered strong global protests and ceasefires, Biden’s government is facing increasing pressure at home and abroad. However, when meeting with Netanyahu, Austin stressed that the United States will continue to provide Israel with military assistance such as ammunition, vehicles and air defense systems.

The Battle of Axle and Bridge： A War of annihilation with a tiger’s jaws pulled out.

Introduction to combat

The Battle of Axle was an offensive campaign against the Japanese Puppet Army in the southeast Axle area of Huai ‘an County, Jiangsu Province, during the period of War of Resistance against Japan. The campaign began on March 5, 1944 and ended on March 6, 1944. After three stages, namely, the attack on the bridge, the aid from Lujiatan and the strategic shift, a total of 465 Japanese captains (including 24 prisoners) and 483 puppet troops (including 168 prisoners) were wiped out, and 53 bunkers were destroyed, which "created a new record of Japanese invaders captured alive in Central China". The victory of this campaign has disrupted the plan of "expanding the countryside" and "strengthening the reclamation" of the Japanese and puppet troops, made the central Jiangsu region a relatively stable rear base, and created good conditions for our troops to train and prepare for the strategic counterattack. The victory of this campaign also opened up the strategic links between the Soviet Union and the northern Jiangsu, Huainan and Huaibei regions, realized the fundamental improvement of the Sino-Japanese war situation, and became a symbol of the strategic counterattack in the battlefield behind the enemy lines in the Soviet Union.

Talk about criticism

In the Battle of Axle and Bridge, the New Fourth Army concentrated more than five regiments, combined guerrilla warfare with mobile warfare, and carried out siege and aid operations against important fortified positions of the Japanese army, creating an example of annihilation war in Central China of the New Fourth Army. Learn from the past and know the present. It is of great practical significance to comprehensively and objectively analyze the winning mechanism of the vehicle-bridge campaign and fully absorb its essence nutrients, so as to improve the efficiency of studying war cases, truly learn from history and strengthen the preparation for military struggle.

Campaign planning should focus on the overall situation and grasp the joints. The great victory of the vehicle-bridge campaign was first benefited from the overall situation and grasping the joints when planning the campaign. The 1st Division and the Suzhong Military Region accurately located the attack direction in the eastern part of Huaibao, which was based on the actual situation in Central China and the overall consideration made according to the overall strategic situation in Central China. First, the area is located at the junction of the two Japanese divisions. If it is attacked, the main force of the Japanese 65th Division, which is in charge of the defense in this area, is far away from Xuzhou, so it is difficult to reinforce in time. The possibility of the neighboring 64th Division’s aid is extremely low, which is convenient for a quick decision. Second, the 7 th Brigade of the 3 rd Division of the New Fourth Army is located in the east of the Huaihe River, ensuring the safety behind the north side of the 1 ST Division. In fact, in the Battle of Axle, the 7th Brigade captured the Zhuweizi stronghold between Lianshui and Axle, and effectively cooperated with the Battle of Axle. Third, this area is the connecting part of Jiangsu, North Jiangsu, Huainan and Huaibei. Controlling this area is conducive to communicating the strategic links between the four areas and implementing strategic maneuvers.

In order to open up the situation in the eastern part of Huaibao, we must capture the axle. Capturing Jingkou or Axle is the key point for the leaders of the 1st Division to consider. Finally, the determination to capture the vehicle bridge is mainly due to the following reasons: First, the vehicle bridge is the enemy command center in this area, and if the vehicle bridge is captured, the enemies of Jingkou and Caodian will be isolated and may withdraw without fighting, so that the campaign will get the best effect; Second, the axle is located in the center of the enemy, and the offensive action is easy to surprise the enemy and win by surprise; Third, the terrain around the axle is more conducive to the rapid approach of attack force than Jingkou; Fourth, the main reinforcement direction of the Japanese and puppet troops may come from Huai ‘an, and there is a good natural ambush position in Lujiatan, northwest of the axle, which is conducive to annihilating the enemies who come to aid. Facts have proved that only by grasping the joint point of the axle can we quickly achieve the operational goal, and then revitalize the overall situation of the Soviet Union’s war of resistance against Japan. It can be seen that in the future campaign planning, we should focus on the overall situation of the campaign, plan the campaign action from a strategic height, grasp the winning joint, and promote the overall planning with local accurate planning, so as to have a clear goal and get twice the result with half the effort, thus creating favorable conditions for winning the campaign.

Campaign operations should pay attention to careful preparation and flexible tactics. The victory of the Battle of Axle also stems from careful pre-war preparation and flexible tactical command. In order to carry out the vehicle-bridge battle, the New Fourth Army made careful preparations. The first is to conduct in-situ reconnaissance in detail. As early as 1943, Su Yu and others kept walking around the areas near the strongholds such as Cheqiao and Caodian, and made a field investigation on the terrain and enemy situation along the way. Before the war, detailed on-the-spot reconnaissance was made repeatedly on the ambush positions around the axle and Lujiatan. The second is to reorganize the battle sequence, appropriately adjust the organization and cadres, unify the command organization, and clarify the division of tasks. Third, the operational plan was carefully formulated, the possible complicated situations were carefully analyzed, various plans were studied, and the time, place, driving route and attack time of troops concentration were accurately calculated and required. All ministries conducted pre-war rehearsals according to their tasks and field conditions. Fourth, the unified deployment of ammunition and equipment, the organization of intelligence stations, field hospitals, transport stations, a number of special equipment and communication tools, the collection of a large number of boatmen and ships, and the strengthening of logistics support. Fifth, fully mobilized before the war, promulgated the regulations on rewards and punishments during the war, organized commando teams and commando groups, and carried out combat competitions.

In terms of tactical application, the vehicle-bridge campaign has played a combination boxing of attacking and aiding simultaneously, which has become a model of the close combination of guerrilla warfare and mobile warfare. Before the war, the New Fourth Army carried out long-distance and over-the-point raids with absolute superiority, supplemented by sabotage, which took the enemy by surprise and hit the enemy’s key points. In the battle, the New Fourth Army mainly attacked and blocked the enemy, supplemented by sneak attack. On the front, the scattered combat teams flexibly used the tactics of encircling circuitous and divide-and-conquer to conquer the enemy bunkers one by one. At the same time, accurately judge the direction of the enemy’s reinforcements, build sniper positions, preset mines, and deploy powerful mobile forces on the side of the enemy’s main roads to form a number of commandos. By adopting the method of "letting go of the vanguard, attacking the middle and attacking continuously", the enemy’s reinforcements were annihilated in batches, which not only mobilized the enemy’s reinforcements to attack, but also ensured victory in attacking. The two closely cooperated and echoed each other, and finally won the battle. In future operations, campaign actions will be more complex and changeable. When preparing for the campaign, we should always be vigilant and make overall consideration, so as to make early preparations, be thorough and meticulous, and give consideration to interests. Tactically, it is necessary to emphasize flexibility and initiative, to adapt to changes and seek innovation through changes, so as to win by surprise and defeat the enemy invisibly.

Campaign support should focus on relying on local governments and complementing the military and local governments. The victory of the vehicle-bridge campaign is inseparable from excellent campaign support. Before the war, the people of Huaibao wholeheartedly supported and supported the attack on the vehicle axle. Various districts and townships set up front-line organizations and held repeated meetings to discuss and implement various specific front-line tasks to ensure that "everything is subordinate to the front line and everything is for front-line victory"; In-depth mobilization was carried out, and the resounding slogan "We will give whatever the New Fourth Army wants" was put forward, actively supporting the army and supporting the front. First, actively supply daily necessities such as grain, oil and salt, tea, etc., and only an feng in Baoying County raised nearly 50,000 kilograms of grain; The second is to assist the troops in making ladders and other critical equipment; The third is to organize a stretcher team, raise more than 100 pairs of stretchers, and organize vehicles and ships to transport military supplies such as troops, migrant workers and guns and ammunition; Fourth, through various means such as standing guard, reconnaissance, sending letters, transporting the wounded, and directly participating in the war, we will assist the main forces in fighting. It was the enthusiastic support of Huaibao people that provided sufficient manpower and materials for the New Fourth Army, gave full play to the great advantages of the people’s war, and laid a solid material foundation for the victory of the Axle Campaign. In future operations, in order to effectively fulfill our military’s historical mission and strengthen our ability to win battles, we must persist in hiding our war capabilities among the state and the people, make overall use of various social resources, and give full play to the supporting role of social manpower, material resources, financial resources, especially scientific and technological strength in army building.
