Mid-Autumn Festival "private moon cakes" sell well. The industry says it is illegal to sell by friends.

  Beijing, China, September 16 (Reporter Zhou Yifan Yu Zhongtao) According to the Voice of China report, today is the second day of the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday. Eating moon cakes is a must-have program for every family in the Mid-Autumn Festival. I wonder where you bought the moon cakes that your family ate this year? Physical store or online platform?

  Nowadays, it is nothing new to buy moon cakes online. Many moon cake brands also have flagship stores online. But the novelty of this "buying moon cakes online" we are talking about today is that the seller is not a company that makes moon cakes, but a private person.

  This is the so-called "private moon cakes". To put it bluntly, it is the moon cakes sold by individuals through online platforms such as Taobao and WeChat friends circle. These moon cakes are generally made by themselves, without adding, and are purely handmade, which is somewhat similar to those online food delivery platforms that focus on private dishes cooked by their own families.

  From this year on, this mooncake has a national standard, and many problems have been exposed in the so-called private cuisine, including lack of qualification, worrying hygiene and so on. Is the quality of "private mooncakes" reliable?

  At the end of last year, the new national standard for moon cakes was officially implemented. This recommended standard requires the classification, fat content, sugar content, protein and so on of moon cakes. On the first Mid-Autumn Festival since the implementation of the new national standard for mooncakes, "private mooncakes" came into consumers’ sight. Search for keywords in Taobao, and more than 400 treasures will appear. The one with the highest sales volume shows that the monthly sales of private mooncakes is nearly 2,000 pieces.

  The seller declared that "it is handmade without any additives". "Generally, it can be kept for about ten days, because we all have no additives, we all make them ourselves, and we don’t do them with additives."

  Similar private moon cakes have also appeared in many people’s circle of friends. Endorsement by acquaintances, coupled with delicious and safe gimmicks, private mooncakes are generally very popular. Last year, Mr. Wang tried to sell homemade fresh meat mooncakes in a circle of friends: "In a circle of friends, because there were too many people who asked me for them last year, I said, OK, let’s start selling them, and then I sold almost 3 or 400, and then I felt that this business was quite easy."

  The sales volume is huge and there is room for profit. In order to convince consumers to trust the quality of products, some WeChat sellers will also make videos of their own moon cakes and send them online. Miss Li from Liaoning said, "You can really see them through small videos. This intuitive way makes me believe in this kind of thing."

  However, although the video can partially show the production process, consumers can’t judge the ingredients in the raw materials. Some media sent four different homemade moon cakes online for inspection, and two of them detected sodium cyclamate: "Its (sodium cyclamate) is 0.15 g/kg, which means that the two private kitchens can’t be said to be zero-added, because sodium cyclamate has been detected, and everyone will know whether it is zero-added."

  In addition, after the production of moon cakes, there may be hidden dangers of food safety due to the limited storage capacity of family workshops. Gwan Chin, director of the Food Circulation Supervision Department of Nanjing Food and Drug Administration, said that it is actually illegal to sell directly to friends in the WeChat circle of friends, and the quality is not guaranteed, especially the storage period of moon cakes, or the storage temperature, which has a certain impact on the quality.

  From the packaging point of view, these "private" moon cakes do not indicate the manufacturer, production date, shelf life, food production license number and food label, which also does not comply with the law. An industry insider who once worked in a well-known pastry company in Shanghai said: "Mooncakes sold in China need a qualified food factory to make and process them, and they need to be labeled with all ingredients, as well as the factory and contact information for processing them. Private mooncakes can’t do this because they are all made by themselves."

  In July this year, the State Food and Drug Administration issued the Measures for the Investigation and Punishment of Internet Food Safety Violations, which will be implemented on October 1 this year. It stipulates that online food operators should obtain food business licenses or filing vouchers according to law. Those who have not obtained the food business license or filing certificate shall not engage in online food business activities. Liu Deliang, director of the Asia-Pacific Network Law Research Center, said that as long as there is sales behavior, no matter what platform, it should be bound by relevant laws and regulations:

  "If you are a good friend, you don’t need food safety and health when you eat at home. The key is that it can target an unspecified third party, and the scope is relatively large. In this case, it is no different from roadside hawking, stall selling and Tmall Taobao. Around food safety, the law has corresponding provisions."

  However, because it is a relatively closed sales environment, it is difficult for the regulatory authorities to investigate and deal with these private mooncakes that are sold in the WeChat circle of friends and have a huge sales volume. HanDong, deputy director of the Food Circulation Supervision Department of Hefei Food and Drug Administration, suggested that consumers should still choose qualified manufacturers: "Third-party platforms must provide information about sellers. If consumers have problems, they can first look for third-party platforms. WeChat circle is not a form of online sales of third-party platforms. From a certain point of view, it belongs to private friends who buy in mutual trust. Whether it has production capacity, quality and hygiene is guaranteed, Consumers should also keep their eyes open. We suggest buying moon cakes or going to a qualified physical store. If you buy them online, you should go through a third-party platform, which is also guaranteed. "

Follow-up Survey of Urban Blind Road Changing into Parking Lot: The construction of barrier-free facilities in Harbin is mixed.

  Northeast Network August 22nd (intern reporter Liu Jingyao reporter john young Sun Yingxin) Blind roads and ramps on pedestrian roads, love seats on buses, elevators and handrails in stairwells, voice signal lights at intersections … The barrier-free facilities that can be seen everywhere in the city are always in the nuances, providing help for some specific groups. During the investigation and interview, the reporter found that there are still some problems in the barrier-free facilities in public places in Harbin, some facilities can not serve the purpose of facilitating others, and some places even have no barrier-free facilities.

  At the stairs at the entrance of Nangang Bus Terminal in Harbin, a ramp is only an iron plate erected on the stairs. The steep slope is a great "challenge" for people who need to travel in wheelchairs. Inside the passenger station, the reporter found that the ticket window was set on the second floor, while the security check and pit stop needed to be carried out on the first floor. There was no straight ladder in the passenger station, nor was there a special barrier-free ticket window and security check channel.

  On the sidewalks near the Lin Qiu business district in Harbin, but only 200 meters away, many blind roads are damaged, or horse gourd appears on the blind road. In the direction of Hongjun Street near Postal Street, the blind brick on the ground has already become blurred. How can a "flat" blind brick guide the blind?

  When the reporter visited nangang district Library, he found that colorful blind bricks were stuck on the ground of the lobby on the first floor, and there was a reading room for hearing-impaired people on the first floor, which greatly facilitated the reading of special groups. However, there are still some problems. Although the first floor of the library is equipped with a bathroom dedicated to barrier-free people, when the door is opened, it is found that the toilet is full of sundries, and the words "No use" are stuck on the water tank. The bathroom on the third floor is not dedicated to barrier-free people. In the elevator room on the first floor of the library, there is a barrier-free passage on the right side of the three steps in front of the elevator, but two chains are tied above it.

  Compared with the chaotic situation of Nangang Passenger Station, the barrier-free facilities of the newly built North Station of Harbin Station are relatively perfect. The neat and straight blind road at the entrance of the North Square leads directly to the ticket hall, the lower button position inside and outside the barrier-free elevator and the lower window design at the barrier-free ticket window can fully meet the needs of children and groups who need to travel in wheelchairs.

  It is understood that China has strict standards for the design and specification of barrier-free facilities in urban roads and public places. However, recently, it was found through a reporter’s visit that there are many problems in barrier-free facilities in public places in Harbin, and "barrier-free facilities" will even cause greater obstacles.

  In the work report made by the Seventh Congress of the Provincial Disabled Persons’ Federation, it is pointed out that the province will implement the Regulations on the Construction of Barrier-free Environment and persist in comprehensively promoting the construction of barrier-free environment in urban and rural areas according to law. In particular, we will strengthen the construction of barrier-free facilities in new and rebuilt public infrastructure and residential areas, accelerate the barrier-free transformation of public facilities such as government agencies, public services, public transportation, social welfare and communities, strengthen the construction of information barrier-free, set up barrier-free parking spaces in public parking areas according to regulations, and strengthen the daily maintenance, management and supervision of the use of barrier-free facilities.

  Zhao Fenghe, president of the Heilongjiang Association for the Blind, said that barrier-free environment construction is not only related to the disabled, but also to the elderly and children. It can be said that it is related to every corner of every family life. I hope the relevant responsible departments will not regard barrier-free construction as a "weak job". He looks forward to a more humane and warmer barrier-free environment.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, the prevalence rate of men over 70 years old is nearly 50%

Recent studies have found that chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is one of the significant factors that affect the death of patients in COVID-19. Among the dead people in COVID-19, the proportion of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is 6%, but only 1% among the surviving people. In addition, although patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease may not be more likely to be infected with Covid-19, they are more likely to die when they are infected.

What is chronic obstructive pulmonary disease? Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a chronic bronchitis and/or emphysema characterized by airflow obstruction, which can further develop into chronic diseases of cor pulmonale and respiratory failure. Different from common chronic diseases such as hypertension and diabetes, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is often not well known.

1. The prevalence rate of COPD in men over 70 years old is nearly 50%, and the difference between male and female is nearly 1 time.

According to the latest China Lung Health Survey (CPH2018), among 50,991 people surveyed from June 2012 to May 2015, the prevalence rate of COPD was 8.6%. Based on this, it is estimated that about 99,900 million people in Chinese suffer from COPD. The prevalence rate of COPD increases with age. The prevalence rate of people over 40 years old is significantly higher than that of people aged 20-39. The prevalence rate of COPD in men over 70 years old is nearly 50%. At the same time, the prevalence rate of men in all age groups is higher than that of women, and the prevalence rate of men over 30 years old is more than twice that of women.

 

                                Figure 1: Prevalence of COPD in different gender and age groups.

2. Smoking is the main risk factor, and air pollution is the main risk factor for non-smokers to get sick.

CPH2018 also made a statistical analysis of possible risk factors of COPD, including smoking, air quality, BMI, family history, education, etc. The results showed that smoking, air pollution, low BMI and parents’ history of respiratory diseases were all risk factors of COPD, among which smoking and air pollution were the main risk factors.

 

                         Figure 2: odds ratio (OR) of 2:COPD risk factors

Note: odds ratio (OR, Odds ratio) is the ratio of the exposed and unexposed people in the case group divided by the ratio of the exposed and unexposed people in the control group. Greater than 1 indicates that this factor is a risk factor, less than 1 indicates that this factor is a protective factor, and equal to 1 indicates that this factor does not work.

The analysis also shows that smoking history has a significant impact on the overall prevalence of COPD, and the prevalence of COPD increases with the increase of smoking years. Air pollution has no significant effect on the prevalence of COPD in the whole population, but it has a significant effect on non-smoking groups. The more serious air pollution is, the higher the prevalence of COPD is.

            Figure 3: Smoking history and COPD prevalence Figure 4: Smoking years and COPD prevalence.

 

                                 Figure 5: Air quality and COPD prevalence rate

The Prospective Research Project of Chronic Diseases in China also published a survey of 280,000 non-smoking adults in China in 2019. The results show that using solid fuel is an important risk factor for major respiratory diseases, and switching to clean fuel such as natural gas can reduce the risk. Because chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is related to the concentration of sulfur dioxide and carbon monoxide, people who are engaged in jobs with dust environment, such as teachers and coal miners, are also prone to COPD.

3. The prevalence rate of people over 40 years old is different in different regions, with the highest in southwest China (20.2%) and the lowest in central China (10.2%).

The research conducted by China Center for Disease Control and Prevention on 66,752 people in 2014-2015 found that the prevalence rate of COPD over 40 years old also showed obvious differences in different regions, with the highest prevalence rate in southwest China (20.2%) and the lowest in central China (10.2%).

 

                        Figure 6: Prevalence rate of COPD among people over 40 years old in different regions.

4. Up to 56% of COPD patients may have cognitive impairment.

A large number of neuropsychological tests suggest that up to 56% patients may have cognitive impairment. The Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (GOLD)2021 also pointed out that cognitive impairment is common in COPD patients, and the prevalence and severity vary according to the evaluation type, with an average prevalence of about 32%. Moreover, cognitive impairment will aggravate the health problems of COPD patients. Compared with patients with single disease, patients with cognitive impairment and COPD have a higher respiratory-related hospitalization rate of 48% and a higher mortality rate of 3 times. Therefore, it is particularly necessary to help patients with complications to carry out effective self-management.

In addition, cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, depression/anxiety are also common and important complications of COPD.

5. The mortality rate of COPD has decreased obviously year by year, but it is still high compared with other developed countries.

The mortality rate of COPD in China decreased from 99/100,000 in 1990 to 68/100,000 in 2017, and the mortality rate of standardized age decreased by 68.6%. Although the mortality rate in China is decreasing year by year, it is still at a high level compared with other developed countries (see the figure below).

                       Figure 7: Mortality rate of male COPD patients aged 50-74 in countries around the world.

 

6. The diagnosis rate is lower than 30%, and the proportion of hospitalization is lower than that of outpatient treatment.

The diagnostic rate of COPD in China is between 23.61% and 30.00%, which shows that the diagnostic rate of COPD in China is low and the missed diagnosis and misdiagnosis are serious. On the one hand, COPD is asymptomatic in the early stage. In epidemiological screening, more than 70% of patients (I~II stage) have little or no symptoms, and even if they have symptoms, they just cough and expectoration, which has not attracted the attention of patients. On the other hand, due to the cost of examination and technical operation, lung function examination, as a gold standard for the diagnosis of COPD, has not been popularized in many hospitals (especially in primary hospitals), resulting in many patients not being diagnosed with COPD in time and delaying treatment.

             Table 1: COPD pulmonary function staging (GOLD staging) [After inhaling bronchodilator]

In addition, the diagnosis and treatment of COPD in China is also more severe. The conventional treatment rate of COPD patients is only 7.9%, and 84% of patients with stage ⅱ and above have not received treatment. The proportion of COPD patients receiving outpatient treatment is about 50%, while the proportion receiving hospitalization is only between 8.78% and 35.60%.

7. The average medical expenses of COPD ranged from 5,000 yuan to 16,000 yuan.

At present, no scholars have studied the medical expenses of COPD patients nationwide, and most of the research on COPD expenses is limited to local or regional areas.

A study on the medical expenses of COPD patients in Ningbo, Zhejiang Province found that from October 2012 to October 2013, the hospitalization expenses of male patients and female patients are shown in the following table. Among them, the average total hospitalization expense for men is 16,000 yuan, while that for women is 14,500 yuan, and only about 30% is borne by individuals.

 

 

                            Table 2: Hospitalization expenses of COPD patients in Ningbo, Zhejiang Province

In recent years, because the prevalence rate in southwest China is higher than that in other regions, many scholars have begun to choose southwest China to study the treatment cost of COPD patients. The following table is part of the research results, from which we can find that the overall cost of the western region is low, and the average hospitalization cost does not exceed 10 thousand yuan. In addition, according to the survey data of Sichuan province, the cost of western medicine accounts for the highest proportion, accounting for 38.32%, followed by the cost of diagnosis, accounting for 24.41%.

 

                               Table 3: Hospitalization expenses of COPD patients in western China 

8. About 58% of commonly used drugs for COPD have been included in the medical insurance catalogue.

COPD can be divided into stable stage and acute exacerbation stage according to the progress of the disease course. In the stable stage, the symptoms such as cough and shortness of breath are stable or mild, while in the acute exacerbation stage, the respiratory symptoms that lead to additional treatment are seriously aggravated, and the patients’ cough and wheezing are aggravated, or may be accompanied by fever and other inflammatory manifestations. Drug therapy is a common treatment for COPD. GOLD2021 edition points out that drug therapy can alleviate COPD symptoms and reduce the frequency and severity of acute exacerbation. At present, there are data showing that drug therapy can reduce mortality. It is worth noting that COPD patients need to take drugs for a long time, mainly inhaled drugs, supplemented by oral drugs. With the progress of COPD, the therapeutic drugs and management methods used have been adjusted.

Six questions about the farce of "currency manipulator": Why did the United States fall into a "demon"

  CCTV News:On August 5, the RMB exchange rate "broke 7", which was originally a natural reaction of the market, but it became the "devil" of the US government. The U.S. Treasury Department has declared China a so-called "currency manipulator". What are the real intentions and attempts of the United States behind this farce?

  1. What is the exchange rate?

  The exchange rate is the ratio of one country’s currency to another’s currency. If the value of country A’s currency is higher than that of country B’s currency, then people in country A can buy more goods and services in country B with the same amount of country A’s currency. The same is true for countries. A country’s appreciation of another country’s currency is conducive to imports and is not conducive to exports; When a country depreciates against another country’s currency, exports are encouraged and imports are frustrated.

  2. Is China a so-called "currency manipulator"?

  According to America’s own standards, the Trade Facilitation and Promotion Act promulgated in 2015 stipulates that the following three points should be met at the same time to judge whether there is exchange rate manipulation in a country or region:

  First, a large trade surplus with the United States: the trade surplus with the United States exceeds $20 billion.

  Second, the huge current account surplus: the current account surplus exceeds 3% of GDP.

  Third, continuous one-way intervention in the foreign exchange market: repeated net purchases of foreign exchange, and the net purchases within 12 months exceed 2% of GDP.

  If calculated by the standard, China can’t be called a "currency manipulator", because China meets only the first requirement. The view of the International Monetary Fund also points out that the RMB exchange rate is generally in line with the fundamentals.

  So, the United States added two more. First, "China has been urging its currency to be undervalued through continuous and large-scale intervention in the foreign exchange market for a long time". Second, the People’s Bank of China "publicly admits that it has rich experience in manipulating the exchange rate and is prepared to continue to do so". However, the original words of the People’s Bank of China said that "it has accumulated rich experience and policy tools, will continue to innovate and enrich the control toolbox, and take necessary and targeted measures against possible positive feedback behaviors in the foreign exchange market". Turning the page of history, whether in the Asian financial crisis in 1997, the global financial crisis in 2008 or the Sino-US trade dispute since 2018, China has always insisted on not engaging in competitive devaluation. Most of the tools accumulated by the People’s Bank of China in the past few years are to defend the currency, not to devalue it.

  3. Is RMB depreciation a natural market reaction?

  In an interview with Bloomberg, American financial experts pointed out that after the United States announced that it would impose a 10% tariff on $300 billion of goods exported from China to the United States, the RMB "breaking 7" was a natural reaction of the market.

  In the trade war between Japan and the United States in the last century, the United States put pressure on the yen exchange rate in order to improve the trade deficit with Japan. However, not only the Japanese economy has become a victim, but also the US trade deficit with Japan has not changed significantly. Now that the United States is doing the same thing again, China will not be hooked by the United States again.

  4. Who is the ultimate pressure in the United States?

  1950— During the trade war between Japan and the United States in 1990, the yen was forced to appreciate rapidly, and domestic policy liberalization and financial liberalization were implemented. The trade deficit between the United States and Japan has not improved significantly, while the bubble burst after the skyrocketing housing prices and stock markets in Japan.

  Take history as a mirror. To engage in "competitive devaluation" will hurt everyone, and China will not be hooked by the United States, repeating the Japanese mistakes and letting the United States "do the same thing again".

  As for the impact, this behavior of the United States has seriously damaged the international financial order, which will inevitably lead to financial market turmoil, and the domestic economy of the United States is also facing comprehensive risks.

  On August 6th, China’s Ministry of Commerce announced that relevant enterprises in China would suspend the purchase of new American agricultural products. Chippy Duval, president of the American Federation of Farmers’ Associations, said that China’s practice has dealt a heavy blow to American agriculture, and the hardships of thousands of American farmers will get worse.

  5. What is the intention of the United States to carefully select time nodes?

  In this case, why did the United States choose to list China as a currency manipulator at this time? What is its next step?

  Zhang Monan, chief researcher of the US-Europe Institute of China Center for International Economic Exchanges, said, I think on the one hand, it may be to fulfill Trump’s campaign promise after he took office. On the other hand, with the intensification of Sino-US trade war, the United States may hope to further promote exports and boost the economy through a weak dollar. At this moment, when the United States listed China as a "currency manipulator", it was also in a time window. During the China negotiations, it further put pressure on China, which also opened the next policy toolbox of the United States and forced the RMB to appreciate further. It is possible to further pressure China by imposing tariffs or the so-called "anti-tariff subsidy tax". It is also possible to put pressure on China by restricting financing or restricting some financial channels. It is not excluded that the US government will conduct additional review on China’s macroeconomic policies or related exchange rate policies through the IMF platform. Finally, because there are some aspects involved in the opening of financial markets and capital accounts in the China negotiations, it is not excluded that the United States, like the South Korean government in 1988, will further force China to fully open its financial markets and capital accounts through the label of "currency manipulator".

  6. What are the consequences of the US labeling "currency manipulator"?

  The escalating economic and trade friction has hit the American economy, seriously hindered the development of the global economy, and aroused widespread concern of world public opinion.

Baidu World 2023 is a spoiler, and Baidu will release the first generative business intelligence product in China.

  Where is the biggest development opportunity in the era of big model? Basic service or industry service? Li Yanhong, founder, chairman and CEO of Baidu, believes that it is not, but in application. Among the 18 "catch-up rules for starting a business" published recently, Li Yanhong said that for entrepreneurs, the big model is meaningless and the application opportunities of the volume are greater. Baidu should be the first company to "reconstruct" all its products.

  On October 12th, Baidu held the "Baidu World 2023 Media Pre-communication Meeting", which revealed the latest development of network disk, intelligent work platform such as Streaming and Apollo Intelligent Cabin based on large model reconstruction. In addition, it is understood that at the "Baidu World 2023" held on October 17, Baidu will also release the first generative business intelligence product in China-Baidu GBI.

  The first generative business intelligence product in China

  In the business world, shopping malls are like battlefields, and enterprises compete, not the big fish eat small fish, but the fast fish eat the slow fish. If an enterprise wants to win, the most inseparable thing is business analysis. However, traditional BI tools are difficult to find data, use tools and have limited index coverage. Both Excel and data analysis platforms are designed for high-frequency (preset) scenes, so they can’t flexibly deal with various problems at any time. The analysis and insight of a complex problem often takes hours or days to complete. In the fierce and rapidly changing market competition, such a long decision-making cycle may lose important business opportunities.

  Sun Ke, Chairman of Baidu AI Cloud Technical Committee and Chief Architect of Baidu AI Cloud Application Products Center, said that Baidu GBI, which will be released on October 17th, can shorten the data analysis from days to minutes.

Baidu GBI

  First of all, traditional BI can only be operated by professionals, while GBI can directly understand the president’s question, implement it in real time, and draw conclusions quickly. Secondly, GBI provides a convenient access mode, so that enterprises can access data, ask questions and analyze any data, and there is no need to manually analyze across databases and tables. Third, GBI also has the ability to learn, and enterprises can inject professional knowledge into the industry and make it an industry expert.

  Baidu’s network disk will be upgraded again, and everything in the video will be refined.

  "In the AI era, the network disk no longer focuses on file transfer or storage," said Wu Tianhao, general manager of Baidu AI Cloud Network Disk Products Department. "Instead, it further moves towards knowledge management of individuals and enterprises, and realizes the transformation of information from data to knowledge."

  In the past 11 years, Baidu’s network disk has served 800 million users, and users will upload more than 1 billion pictures every day. Therefore, in the direction of AI reconstruction, Baidu’s network disk focuses on the intelligent service of personal files.

  "One Cloud" is Baidu’s first domestic network disk intelligent assistant based on Wenxin model. It not only realizes the transformation from graphical interface interaction to natural language interaction, but also enhances multimodal information understanding. Users can operate files, pictures and videos in the network disk with only one sentence, which is convenient for users to "find things" in the network disk and video. It is worth mentioning that Baidu’s network disk "Cloud One" can also help users quickly understand the video content, refine the content focus from the video, add subtitles to the video, export all the subtitles to the manuscript, and even add the title of the manuscript, greatly improving the information understanding and communication efficiency.

  Recently, Baidu’s network disk also launched the "Cloud One File Assistant" which can be used on WeChat. By forwarding any WeChat official account article to Cloud One, it can "read" directly, and summarize and refine the main points within 10 seconds, so that users can get the "essence dry goods" in a short time.

  "A powerful video processing and understanding ability of Baidu Netdisk Cloud will also be shown to you at Baidu World Congress, so stay tuned," Wu Tianhao said.

  The gospel of migrant workers is to have a "super assistant" who understands you and is professional.

  At present, there are still many pain points in the online office of enterprises. How will the big model reshape intelligent work?

  "The big model is a great opportunity in the field of corporate office." He Wei, director of Baidu’s intelligent office platform department, said, "With ERNIE Bot’s blessing, Baidu’s intelligent work platform has reconstructed intelligent work based on AI’s original thinking, stimulating enterprise innovation and improving efficiency."

  He introduced the "super assistant" created by Ruliu, which has three characteristics: knowing you, professionalism and real-time companionship. It has been aroused at any time and anywhere, and has been applied in a wealth of office application scenarios.

Baidu ruliu super assistant

  During the execution of intelligent tasks, the super assistant evokes through natural language voice, and realizes one-step direct access to complex systems for scenes such as meeting reservation, vacation and poor travel. In the intelligent document processing scene, the super assistant can quickly find out the relevant documents according to the instructions, which doubles the efficiency of knowledge acquisition, and can also quickly consult, summarize and translate the documents on the Web side of the browser; In the high-frequency communication scenario, "IM intelligent summary" and "AI meeting insight" and "AI meeting minutes" can quickly refine the main points and generate structured minutes. The data shows that through the use of the AI conference insight function, the current reading volume of conference content has increased by 3.5 times.

  He Wei believes that "unlike the stronger tool attribute under the concept of assistant, super assistant can be competent for more complicated tasks, and at the same time will help you finish your work more actively, so that intelligent work can replace hard work." At the scene of the 2023 Baidu World Congress, the reconstructed new features such as streaming will be unveiled.

  Large-scale model reconstructed intelligent cockpit, which will be carried in the mass production of Extreme Yue 01.

  The big model not only reshapes thousands of industries, but also profoundly affects the automobile industry. When the large model is combined with the car cockpit, the car will become an automobile robot with EQ and IQ.

  Su Tan, general manager of the intelligent car business department of Baidu Intelligent Driving Group (IDG), said: In the era of big model, based on the idea of reconstruction, we have the opportunity to change the relationship between man and machine in the car cockpit into the relationship between man and virtual person. Based on the Wenxin model as the basic model, and the massive data accumulation of Baidu Apollo in millions of smart cars and different scenarios, the Apollo intelligent cabin model and intelligent cabin development tool chain are further enhanced.

Large model landing intelligent cockpit

  The intelligent emergence of large-scale models brings core abilities such as understanding, generation, reasoning and memory, so that the format of intelligent cockpit will be reconstructed, including interaction, development mode, architecture and user operation mode. The first thing to be reconstructed is the interaction between people and vehicles. From "imperative" to "conversational", the naturalness of interaction will be greatly improved. The improvement of interactive experience will also greatly improve the user experience of just-needed scenes such as in-car navigation and car use. At the same time, the demand for in-car entertainment and services will be further released, and the user’s usage scenarios will also be reconstructed. Baidu Apollo has built an exclusive large-scale model technology base for the car cockpit. Based on the Wenxin large model, it has enhanced the effect of the large model in the car cockpit and provided more anthropomorphic intelligent interaction, including improving the understanding in the cabin, adding multi-modal understanding, active interaction ability, dynamic recovery ability, response time optimization and other capacity building to meet the intelligent needs of users for the cockpit.

  In order to make the smart cockpit empowered by the big model land more quickly, Baidu Apollo has also reconstructed the technical route of the smart cockpit of the car, and the development mode of the native application of the car AI based on the big model is deeply integrated with the localization. Apollo streamlines and implements the intelligent cabin AI native application development paradigm, reduces costs and improves efficiency in the whole link, and helps the industry to explore. Automobile host manufacturers can independently develop their own brand models and application scenarios, and Apollo will also provide a reference for boutique in-vehicle native applications, and build a large number of commonly used plug-in scheduling capabilities for the cockpit ecological environment, greatly reducing the input costs of automobile host manufacturers.

  At present, the car voice products blessed by Baidu Apollo Intelligent Cabin Model have been mass-produced in models such as Extreme Yue 01, Cadillac Ruige, Buick E5, Geely Yinhe L7 and Geely Yinhe L6, and brands such as Geely Yinhe and Haval will soon be launched. Among them, Extreme Yue 01 is at the leading level among the mass-produced vehicles in the industry in terms of its core capabilities such as millisecond response, full-time wakeup-free interaction, multi-channel simultaneous interaction, and full-page seeing and speaking.

  The scale of users of Qian Fan’s large model platform has grown rapidly, covering more than 400 scenes.

  Baidu is reshaping its products with big models, so the next question for entrepreneurs and enterprises is, how to build AI native applications?

  Li Jingqiu, deputy general manager of Baidu AI Cloud AI platform, said at the communication meeting that Baidu has summarized these successful practical experiences into tools and methodologies, and deposited them on the world’s first one-stop large-scale model service platform "Qian Fan" to help entrepreneurs and enterprises build their own AI native applications with low cost and high efficiency.

Baidu AI Cloud Qian Fan large model platform

  Baidu AI Cloud continues to improve and upgrade the tool chain on the Qian Fan platform. At present, 41 data sets and 226 sets of high-quality Prompt templates are preset on the Qian Fan platform, so enterprises can quickly optimize the model effect according to their own business scenarios. The platform also manages 42 mainstream large models at home and abroad, providing Chinese enhancement, performance enhancement, context enhancement and other capabilities. Qian Fan platform provides an extremely stable training environment for the performance guarantee issues that corporate customers are concerned about. Under the conventional method, engineers spend 30%-40% of their time on fault tolerance and fault recovery. Now, the fault management mechanism of Baidu AI Cloud’s self-developed cluster networking makes the effective training time of the model reach more than 95%.

  Li Jingqiu, deputy general manager of Baidu AI Cloud AI platform, revealed at the communication meeting that the user scale of Qian Fan platform has increased rapidly since March. By the beginning of September, there were nearly tens of thousands of monthly enterprises on the platform of Baidu AI Cloud Qian Fan, covering more than 400 scenes in manufacturing, energy, transportation and other industries.

  "Around the accelerated landing of AI native applications, Qian Fan platform will release more new products at Baidu World 2023 on October 17." Li Jingqiu, deputy general manager of Baidu AI Cloud AI platform, said.

2024 Xpeng Motors Grand Action: The first extended-range vehicle will be mass-produced next year, and the pure electric pattern will change?

In the field of new energy vehicles, every new trend has attracted much attention. Recently, a series of news about Xpeng Motors has aroused widespread concern. It is reported that Xpeng Motors will launch its first vehicle and plans to mass-produce it next year. This move has undoubtedly caused quite a stir in the industry.

As an important participant in the field of new energy vehicles in China, Xpeng Motors has always focused on pure electric vehicles. However, what kind of strategic considerations are behind the announcement that it is going to install fuel tanks and enter the automotive field?

First of all, from the perspective of market demand, cars have met consumers’ concerns about cruising range to a certain extent. Although the cruising range of pure electric vehicles has been greatly improved with the continuous improvement of technology, for some consumers who often travel long distances, endurance anxiety still exists. By carrying the fuel tank, the car can use fuel to generate electricity when the battery power is insufficient, thus greatly increasing the cruising range of the car. This is undoubtedly an attractive choice for consumers who want to enjoy the environmental protection and low cost of electric vehicles, but also worry about battery life.

Secondly, from the perspective of competition pattern, the current new energy vehicle market is highly competitive. In the field of pure electric vehicles, major car companies have made great efforts, and the competition for market share has become increasingly fierce. In the automotive field, although some car companies are involved, the competitive pressure is relatively small. Xpeng Motors enters the automobile field at this time, which is expected to occupy a place in the new market segment and expand its market share.

In addition, the positioning of the price band above 200,000 yuan also shows Xpeng Motors’s ambition for the high-end market. With the continuous improvement of consumers’ requirements for automobile quality and performance, the market potential of high-end new energy vehicles is huge. By introducing high-end models, Xpeng Motors can not only meet consumers’ demand for high-quality cars, but also enhance its brand image and further enhance its market competitiveness.

It is worth mentioning that Cui Dongshu said that the extended-range vehicle is a pure electric vehicle. This view has aroused people’s thinking. From a technical point of view, although the car is equipped with a fuel tank, it still relies on the battery to drive the car in most cases, and only when the battery power is insufficient will the fuel power generation system be started. Therefore, automobile can be regarded as an extension and supplement of pure electric vehicle to a certain extent. This view also provides new ideas and directions for the development of automobiles.

However, Xpeng Motors also faces some challenges when it enters the automobile field. First of all, the technical complexity of automobile is relatively high, and it is necessary to take into account the cooperative work of battery and fuel system at the same time. This puts higher demands on Xpeng Motors’s technological R&D capability. Secondly, consumers’ cognition and acceptance of automobiles need to be improved. In the eyes of some consumers, the automobile may still be regarded as a "transitional product", and its market prospect is uncertain. In addition, with the continuous development of new energy vehicle technology, more advanced battery technology and charging facilities may appear in the future, which may also have an impact on the development of automobiles.

Despite many challenges, this move of Xpeng Motors undoubtedly demonstrates its determination to explore and innovate in the field of new energy vehicles. With the mass production of the first vehicle next year, we will wait and see whether Xpeng Motors can succeed in new fields.

From the perspective of the whole new energy automobile industry, Xpeng Motors’s action also reflects the development trend of the industry. Under the current technical conditions, although pure electric vehicles have the advantages of environmental protection and low noise, problems such as cruising range and charging facilities still restrict their further development. As a transitional solution, automobile provides consumers with more choices. At the same time, with the continuous progress of technology, the future development direction of new energy vehicles is still full of uncertainty. Major car companies need to innovate constantly and actively explore products and technical routes suitable for market demand in order to be invincible in the fierce market competition.

The statement that only Weilai is left in China’s pure electric vehicle enterprises is somewhat exaggerated, but it also reflects the fierce competition in the current pure electric vehicle market. In this context, it may be a wise strategic choice for Xpeng Motors to enter the automobile field. Through diversified product layout, Xpeng Motors can better meet the needs of different consumers and improve market competitiveness.

In a word, the news that Xpeng Motors will mass-produce its first vehicle next year has aroused widespread concern. This move not only shows Xpeng Motors’s innovative spirit and strategic vision, but also brings new thinking to the development of new energy automobile industry. In the future, we expect Xpeng Motors to succeed in the automotive field and bring more high-quality new energy vehicle products to consumers. At the same time, it is also hoped that the whole new energy automobile industry will continue to innovate and jointly promote the vigorous development of China’s new energy automobile industry.

LI’s revenue nearly doubled in the first quarter: the target of 30,000 vehicles delivered in June was not considered for price reduction.

K figure 02015_0

  first quarterReach new heights.

  May 10, (Nasdaq:LI;; 02015.HK) released the financial report for the first quarter of 2023. The financial report shows that the revenue in the first quarter was 18.79 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 96.5%, a record high, slightly higher than the market estimate of 18.68 billion yuan;It was 934 million yuan, and the net loss in the first quarter of 2022 was 10.9 million yuan, up 252% from 265 million yuan in the fourth quarter of 2022.

  LI’s outstanding financial performance in the first quarter was supported by the substantial increase in sales. In terms of delivery volume, in the first quarter of this year, LI delivered a total of 52,600 vehicles, up 65.8% year-on-year, achieving the best single-season delivery result.

  For the second quarter of this year, LI gave delivery guidelines of up to 76,000 to 81,000 vehicles, up 164.9% to 182.4% year-on-year; It is estimated that the revenue will reach 24.22 billion yuan to 25.86 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 177.4%-196.1%.

  Annual grossThe target is 20%, and the sales of management fee rate will be reduced to 9.8%.

  JiumaoOn the whole, LI’s gross profit margin and automobile gross profit margin both decreased year-on-year and increased month-on-month. The gross profit margin was 20.4% in the first quarter, 22.6% in the same period last year and 20.2% in the fourth quarter of 2022. The gross profit margin of automobiles was 19.8%, compared with 22.4% in the same period last year and 20% in the fourth quarter of 2022.

  Li Tie, CFO of LI, said that in the first quarter of this year, the sales in Li ONE led to a decrease in the gross profit margin of the whole vehicle in the quarter, and it is expected that all the sales in Li ONE will be completed in the first half of this year. At the same time, there is still room for improvement in the profit margin of the ideal L7 and Air models. However, considering other potential factors, we still maintain the goal of 20% gross profit margin for the whole year.

  Between LI CEO Li Xiang and a few days agoSpeaking at the meeting, LI’s expenses have further become.The focus of attention.

  Recently, Li Xiang announced: "LI brand market expense rate is 0.6%, including all public relations, activities, advertisements, auto shows, press conferences, car owners’ operations, etc. I have to approve the expenses of tens of thousands of yuan to avoid spending money indiscriminately." At the same time, he also mentioned that the market expense ratio of mainstream brands is 2%-3%, which is 4-5 times that of LI.

  The ideal, which has always been called "picking factories", has been evaluated by many analysts as properly controlling the expense ratio. The financial report for the first quarter shows that in the first quarter of 2023, LI’s sales, general and management expenses were RMB 1.65 billion, up 36.8% year-on-year and 0.9% quarter-on-quarter, accounting for 9.8% of revenue, further decreasing compared with 2022. In 2022, LI’s sales, general and management expenses were 5.665 billion yuan, accounting for 12.5% of the total revenue. In contrast, Tucki andThis figure is over 20%.

  LI’s R&D expenditure is also rising. In the first quarter, it invested a total of 1.85 billion yuan in R&D, up 34.8% year-on-year, and the R&D expenditure rate remained at around 10%, which was in line with LI’s previous expectations. Li Tie said that the R&D expenditure will remain the original annual plan, at around 10 billion to 12 billion yuan. Sales management expenses depend on the profit level and will be further optimized.

  In June, it hit 30,000 vehicles, and in the fourth quarter, it pushed pure electric vehicles.

  In response to sales expectations, Li Xiang said that he should strive to achieve the goal of delivering 30,000 vehicles in a single month in June this year.

  If this goal is achieved, then LI and the car,The new car-making forces will further widen the gap. At present, other new car-making forces have not touched the threshold of monthly sales of 20,000 vehicles. In the past April, only Nezha’s car sales reached 11,000 vehicles, and the sales of other new car-making forces did not exceed 10,000 vehicles.

  Judging from the ideal sales volume in the first four months of this year, it is not difficult to achieve this goal. The delivery data of LI from January to April this year is constantly rising, with 15,100 vehicles delivered in January, up 23.4% year-on-year; 16,600 vehicles were delivered in February, a year-on-year increase of 97.5%; 20,800 vehicles were delivered in March, an increase of 88.7% year-on-year; In April, the delivery volume exceeded 25,000 vehicles for the first time, reaching 25,700 vehicles, a year-on-year increase of 516.3%.

  Since this year,The price of raw material lithium carbonate has dropped sharply. Some analysts asked LI if there was any plan to reduce the price. Li Xiang replied, "At present, there is no consideration of reducing the price, because when we make detailed long-term planning and pricing, we have already set the price at the most competitive price in the corresponding price range according to the grade and size of each vehicle, and both upward and downward fluctuations will be problematic. This is the fundamental reason why we have been very cautious in pricing and insist on long-term consideration. "

  Li Xiang also said that ideally, the market share is still the first important factor, and the core goal in the second quarter is more than 200,000 yuan.In the automobile market, the market share of 11% in the first quarter was raised to 13%.

  In the face of LI’s record financial data, many people shouted "Ideal is crazy", but some analysts expressed concern about the pure electric vehicles in LI. LI’s achievements are inseparable from the extended-range power model, and it has the first-Mover advantage. However, in the pure electric track where car companies gather, the ideal will face more intense challenges, and it is not easy to stand out.

  During the recent Shanghai Auto Show, LI officially released the "Double Energy Strategy", saying that it will exert all efforts in "intelligence" and "electric energy". By 2025, it will form a product layout of "one super flagship model+five extended-range electric vehicles+five high-voltage pure electric vehicles", which will face more than 200,000 markets and fully meet the needs of home users. At the same time, ideally, it is estimated that more than 3,000 charging stations will be built by 2025.

  Recently, there are market rumors that LI pure electric vehicles will be postponed until next year. At the earnings conference call, Li Xiang revealed that the pure electric vehicles in LI will be released in the fourth quarter of this year. After the release, they will start the test drive in the store and gradually start the delivery, which will keep the same release and delivery rhythm as the L9, L8 and L7 models.

  In order to support the development of multi-vehicles, LI is also continuously expanding its network layout. As of April 30, 2023, LI has 302 retail centers nationwide, covering 123 cities; There are 318 after-sales maintenance centers and authorized car body panel spraying centers, covering 222 cities.

Preventing Disaster Risk and Escorting High-quality Development —— CCTV Lifeline broadcast a special program on May 12th National Disaster Prevention and Mitigation Day

Do you know about natural disasters?

Earthquakes, mountain torrents, mudslides, typhoons, floods, blizzards, forest fires … … These natural disasters happen every year. When a serious disaster comes, it will destroy a city in an instant and make many people lose their homes, even their relatives.

May 12, 2023 is the 15th National Disaster Prevention and Mitigation Day. The theme of this year is "Preventing disaster risks and escorting high-quality development". Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, China has put forward a series of new ideas and concepts on disaster prevention, mitigation and relief. The Opinions of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council on Promoting the Reform of the System and Mechanism of Disaster Prevention, Mitigation and Relief put forward that "to promote the reform of the system and mechanism of disaster prevention, we must firmly establish the concept of disaster risk management and comprehensive disaster reduction, adhere to the combination of prevention first, prevention and rescue, adhere to the unity of normal disaster reduction and abnormal disaster relief, and strive to realize the transformation from focusing on post-disaster relief to focusing on pre-disaster prevention".

In order to find out the hidden dangers of natural disasters in various parts of China, the first national comprehensive risk survey of natural disasters will be carried out in 2020 with the consent of the State Council. In three years, with the participation of nearly 5 million professional and technical personnel from various regions, the nationwide census has achieved initial results.

From 2020, reporters from Lifeline went to Fujian, Jiangxi, Shandong, Zhejiang and other places for follow-up reports. On May 12th and 13th, two episodes of National Disaster Prevention and Mitigation Day special program "Data Empowering to Protect Peace" will be broadcast continuously in the Lifeline column of CCTV-12.

Take precautions and be precise first.

Arrange emergency equipment so that the distress information is no longer blocked.

Fujian province is surrounded by mountains on three sides and faces the sea on one side. There are many kinds of natural disasters and they are prone to occur frequently. Once disasters occur, the disaster situation should not be underestimated.

Typhoon, rainstorm, flood, mountain torrents and mudslides, as coastal areas, more than 30 coastal counties in Fujian Province are frequently affected by marine disasters. Villagers have lived here for generations. How to prevent disasters to make them live and work in peace and contentment?

Since the first national comprehensive risk survey of natural disasters was carried out, the emergency department has collected and adopted the data of all the population and housing disaster-bearing bodies in 33 coastal counties, investigated and summarized the historical data of disasters, and calculated the elevation of coastal seawalls in the whole province with reference to relevant data, so as to help the staff to divide the dangerous areas more accurately and let the people prepare for danger avoidance in advance.

In addition to marine disasters, flood waterlogging caused by heavy rain is also one of the major natural disasters faced by Fujian Province. Whenever the flood season comes, typhoons are swept by heavy rain. The flash floods caused by heavy rain will not only endanger the safety of villagers’ lives and property, but even more frightening is that some remote villages will be lost, and rescue work cannot even be carried out.

In order to solve this problem, the Fujian Provincial Party Committee and the provincial government equipped 3,550 high-risk areas and villages with high-risk mountain torrents with satellite phones. The emergency satellite phone has both mobile and fixed terminals, and the system has its own satellite search function, which can be used in bad weather and without public network. Through this census, satellite phones have been accurately put into every remote and high-risk village, effectively solving the problems of difficulty in asking for help and being rescued in these areas. Not only that, Nan ‘an, Quanzhou, which is located in the southeast coast, is affected by extreme weather all the year round. After the first national comprehensive risk survey of natural disasters was carried out, Nan ‘an City set up a total of 2,259 broadcasting points. Based on the refined data obtained from the survey, in 2023, the city will add 43 community emergency broadcasting points, and extend to cover more than 50 natural villages in the city, achieving 100% coverage of administrative villages and communities in the city.

The smart emergency command platform issued an early warning at the first time.

Jiangxi Province is one of the provinces suffering from serious natural disasters in China, with an average annual direct economic loss of more than 10 billion yuan. There are more than 2,400 rivers in the province, and the forest coverage rate ranks second in the country. Frequent natural disasters have a great impact on the production, life and economic development of local people.

The intelligent emergency command platform established by Ruichang Emergency Management Bureau according to the census data can grasp the dynamic information of every disaster-prone point in the city in real time, and monitor it in real time for 24 hours. Once the front is sensed, it can respond quickly and conveniently. Monitoring probes and infrared virtual railings are installed in 34 key waters in the city. Once someone approaches, they can be persuaded to leave by shouting.

On January 20, 2023, Ruichang Smart Emergency Command Platform issued an alarm, and abnormal temperature appeared in Hongyandong Scenic Area. The induction system quickly captured the fire point and uploaded screenshots to the platform. Hongyandong is a place with steep mountains and dense forests, so it is very difficult to put out the fire. There have been many fires in this place in history, and the shortest fire extinguishing time takes 3 days.

However, in this fire, under the command and dispatch of the intelligent emergency command platform, the fire was put out within ten hours. This efficient response made the local people really feel the sense of security brought by the census data.

From 2020 to 2023, the first national comprehensive risk survey of natural disasters lasted for three years. In view of 23 kinds of disasters in six categories, such as earthquakes, geology, meteorology, floods and droughts, marine, forest and grassland fires, people’s governments at all levels in provinces, cities and counties set up census leading groups, formulated plans and formed teams, comprehensively found out the hidden danger base of national disasters, identified the disaster resistance ability of key areas, and objectively understood the comprehensive risk level of disasters in the country and regions. The first national comprehensive risk survey of natural disasters has entered the stage of evaluation and zoning, and the data of the future survey will be better applied.

Is it so difficult to make a good love movie? Learn the masterpiece of love film "Mo Di"

Wen Fei Fei

Nowadays, there are too many romantic films and too few good ones. This love biographical film "Mo Di", which is based on a true story, has a good reputation, giving people a sense of intimacy and the power to move people to tears.

Watching movies at "the most beautiful love", but seeing a beautiful life in it.

The story is adapted from the real experience of Canadian folk artist Momo Lewis and her husband Everett Lewis. In the film, the heroine Mo Di suffers from congenital rheumatoid arthritis, and her walking posture is a little weird. Due to various experiences, she doesn’t want others to feel that she is a burden. By chance, she went to the home of a fisherman Everett with a quick temper to apply for a maid. They got to know each other, gradually fell in love with each other, and finally spent their lives together.

The couple lived in that humble cottage all their lives, but their stories spread all over Canada and America.

Just like the film title "Mo Di", the story content of the film is extremely simple, but it is very warm and delicate. The film is set in a rural town in Canada, and there are only a few simple scenes, and even the actors are exceptionally few. However, the touching and inspirational love story of the protagonist is like a pot of sake. The longer Mika is, the more beautiful the artistic conception is, the more attractive it is.

Looking at the whole film, there is always an invisible force that affects the heartstrings of the viewers. The film of nearly two hours does not feel lengthy.

                     

Everything has cracks, so that sunlight can enter.

It can be said that the background color of Mo Di’s life after her parents’ death is almost gray. Obviously, she has caught a bad card of fate-physical disability, being dependent on others, and a mercenary brother, who is unloved, unemployed and has no home of her own. With such a life, will you feel sorry for yourself and sink into depravity? Mo Di, the hero of the film, may have given us the best answer.

At the beginning of the film, Mo Di lived a life similar to being under house arrest in menstruation’s house. The slightly cold tone set off Mo Di’s depressed psychology, which aroused the audience’s depressed mood.

Because her body and mind are under control at the same time, Mo Di is very eager for independence. Even a low salary of ten cents a month means different things to her.

Therefore, she limped a few kilometers with her legs full of longing and came to work in Everett, a fisherman, in order to move towards a new life and freedom.

Life as a domestic helper in Everett’s house is also not satisfactory, and Mo Di ranks behind dogs and chickens in this family.

Small town residents are talking about Mo Di being Everett’s love slave.

Even my aunt said to Mo Di, you make me sick!

Nevertheless, Mo Di doesn’t seem to care about these rumors, and she still enjoys and pursues an independent life.

Even when she gets along with her master Everett, she treats her as an equal, even though Everett always emphasizes that she is the master, and even does it.

In the face of such an encounter, Mo Di still didn’t flinch. She went back to her room, touched the paint with her finger as a brush, painted flowers and plants on the wall, and immersed herself in the quiet painting world. All her sadness seemed to leave her.

The floating life of 3 thousand is fixed, and the painting is full of love.

When God closes a door for you, he will also open a window for you. Although life is not satisfactory, Mo Di has always kept the greatest hot pillow for life.

The film uses contrast in many places. For example, Mo Di enjoys a person’s happiness in the corner of the bar, comparing with others’ wanton indulgence in the bar, and showing Mo Di’s miserable life situation in details with her bright and cheerful paintings, which highlights Mo Di’s strong yearning for freedom and superb artistic talent, and the valuable spirit of persisting in painting in such a difficult environment.

There are two kinds of scenery in the film, one is the vast scenery of Nova Scotia outside the door, and the other is the scenery written by Mo Mo.

The endless grassland, the vast sky, the warm hut, the harbor of home in the depths of the wilderness and the poetic life bring Mo Di a smart creative space. Because of the inconvenience of her legs and feet, Mo Di can only record the world she observed from her small window by painting. Poetry and distance in her heart pour out through her pen, and painting is the external display of her inner world.

In the plot of the film, the artistic plot of Mo Di’s painting runs through the film.

When Everett scolded her, Mo Di secretly painted on the deserted wall. When talking to Everett about salary, Mo Di’s only requirement for salary is enough paint. No matter what happens in life, Mo Di’s solution is painting. In her paintings, the complexity of the real world does not exist, but only the beautiful pictures presented by the interactive combination of lines and colors, and everything is arranged in such a vibrant and orderly way.

In her world, life can be so simple that she even has a window in front of her.

The comfortable and melodious soundtrack is in sharp contrast with the bumpy experience of the hostess. Slow music is accompanied by calm narration, without intensive lines and deliberate rendering, but the touch brought to people is heartfelt. The brush falls, the music rings, and the soft lens leads us into Mo Di’s simple and beautiful paintings. In Mo Di’s paintings, the world is more agile, everything is clear and full of beauty: there are three black cats hidden under the flower tree, the sky and the grass are connected in the purest color, deer drink spring water, chickens feed, dogs run, weeds sway, and there are fierce conflicts between sadness and brightness, quiet and lively, clear and clear. All this makes it impossible to look away and listen to the words of her heart in her extreme ink.

She paints because she loves it, and she paints everything she loves. Life is bleak, but Mo Di’s paintings are always sunny and bright. She never thought that her paintings would be appreciated, bought and collected. In the world of painting, she cured the pain of life, found a brand-new self, softened the hard Everett, and changed and warmed their lives.

Although this is a biographical film, the ups and downs of narrative and emotional dormancy and explosiveness are amazing.

Mo Di decorated the colorful hut with a brush and got the happiness she dreamed of with a sincere heart. Her greatest luck is not painting talent, but having a lover who will always protect her, a sincere and lovely lover like her.

When Mo Di’s paintings were very popular, she always sold them for only five dollars.

Faced with the rare "false name" of the president’s letter asking for a painting, Mo Mo said that he would not give him anything unless he sent the money together.

Mo Di and Everett are not flattering, hypocritical, simple and pure. These two "freaks" who are rejected by the mainstream society are in harmony with each other. From then on, they will join hands for life, warm each other and achieve each other.

In the movie, there are many touching dialogues. You can feel the certainty and sincerity that penetrates the screen just by reading the words. The man who was originally grumpy and fierce in appearance can also become tender and delicate for love and touch the deepest softness of the audience.

The whole movie has a slow rhythm, but it shows the protagonist’s simple and pure love and pursuit of a better life to the fullest. Iselin Walsh, the director, abandoned the gaudy shooting technique and focused on the psychological portrayal of the two protagonists. Sally Hawkins and Ethan Hawke gave a superb performance to the audience, but accurately grasped the current mood and emotion of the characters.

The camera slowly shows the world in which they live. The connection between the beginning and the end of the film, all the details in the scene and all the elements in the painting are the delicate manifestations of the female perspective in the film directed by this woman.

Looking at the whole film, there is no unnecessary part, the editing is smooth and natural, there is no complicated story, and the blandness echoes with warmth. Just the right touch, just the right tears, even after reading the last word, the music just stopped, everything is just right, "just right" is the most comfortable and charming force of this film.

Of course, the film has both successes and shortcomings. A biographical film about a folk artist, the protagonist Mo Di’s fate is bumpy, and her inner strength of tenacity and optimism is enough to prop up a memorable celebrity biographical film. However, the expression of the whole film is restrained, and the suffering is not greatly exaggerated, and the drama conflict is not used to promote the plot development. The slightly dull narrative method is not wonderful enough for the audience who rely on external drama to satisfy the sensory stimulation.

As a romantic film, the focus is on the relationship between Mo Di and Everett, and the angle of purely explaining their relationship with love is not large enough. Mo Di and her husband do not have the traditional "love", so it is not convincing enough.

Despite some shortcomings, "Mo Di" is indeed a moving art film, without huge twists and turns, without heartbreaking love and hate, but with delicate and silky warmth and love.

In the film, menstruation said to Mo Di: Only you in our family are happy in the end.

Mo Di, a lame woman with arthritis, was once regarded as a burden by her family, but eventually she became the only one in the family who gained happiness. All this is not because she is lucky enough, but because she really knows life, accepts herself, treats others well, and is good at finding little beauty in the nuances of life.

At the end of the film, Mo Di died of illness, and Everett said, I used to think you were not perfect. Mo Di once opened Everett’s cold iron gate in a short life, but now, the key to open the iron gate has been lost, and Everett is so lonely.

Since then, I have no intention to go to the fine night and let him go down to the west wing in the bright moon.

What the film inspired me the most was not the whole process in which painting influenced Mo Di’s life, but how the emotional connection between her and Everett deepened with Mo Di’s awakening to independence.

The significance of painting to Mo Di is not just to find a hobby that can fill her heart and get a certain economic return, but to find a brand-new personal value, relieve the pain and pressure of life, and connect and influence her relationship with others.

From Mo Di’s paintings, Everett learned about the world in Mo Di’s eyes and her way of looking at the world. From Mo Di’s serious attitude towards painting, Everett realized Mo Di’s dedication and enthusiasm for life, which made Everett more and more aware of the heart of this ordinary and special woman-Mo Di. From indifference to respect and appreciation, the two of them have touched a deeper emotional connection, and Mo Di’s desire to live with Everett on an equal footing and grow old together has gradually come true.

Whether we can love and love ourselves is closely related to the extent to which we find ourselves and understand each other. Not everyone can accurately express their inner feelings, and sometimes even fail to express their feelings. Therefore, it is worth exploring and learning to find a way to express ourselves and get along with others.

More self-expression is helpful to self-awareness and the establishment of intimate relationship. We know ourselves more and more and understand each other, which is an important foundation for a more quality relationship. Whether painting, writing, writing poems or singing, it is the way we observe and record our life, and it is the expression of our inner feelings, the embodiment of our hearts and thoughts. Sincere expression is conducive to our mutual discovery and integration, and the flow of emotions will naturally occur.

At the end of the film, Mo Di’s narration slowly sounded. "The scenery outside the window is always changing, covering the whole life, and the warmth and coldness of life have already been reflected here."

Perhaps the company of morning and evening is the warmest and moving appearance of love. I hope that all lovers in the world can "win the hearts of one person and never leave each other", and I hope that domestic love films can also be made like this!
