  Shanghai green card is further tightened? Some sales said that the second Shanghai brand will be auctioned, and some car companies will catch up with the window to seek increment.

  According to Shanghai’s previously released "Shanghai encourages the purchase and use"Automobile Implementation Measures, Shanghai consumers can apply for a special license for free when purchasing pure electric vehicles before December 31 this year, and there is still more than one month left before the expiration of this policy. "The policy of buying pure electric vehicles to send green cards in Shanghai next year should be adjusted to some extent. According to the news we have received, green cards may also participate in the auction mode like blue cards. If there is a buffer period for the policy of buying a car for free, it will probably be postponed until June next year. " A car salesman in Shanghai who asked not to be named told reporters. A number of automobile brand salespeople said that the new energy license in Shanghai next year will be adjusted, and consumers are encouraged to seize the window period to buy cars. "One possible form of change is that, taking a family as a unit, if any member of the family already has a Shanghai brand (including a blue-green license), then the second Shanghai brand needs to participate in the auction. If the family does not have a Shanghai brand, buying a pure electric car should continue to send a license. " The above car sales staff said.

"Horse racing" is becoming a "super online celebrity" and there are many problems under the "blowout".

  The favorable sports policy, the shaping of city image, the influx of commercial capital, the huge population base, and the national fitness craze — — In recent years, the marathon industry in China has been on the "expressway" in running all the way, and in the past 2018, it has averaged 4.3 races per day.

  With the upgrading of national fitness consumption, ten thousand people get together in marathon events, which also reflects the huge potential market for sports development in China. However, as the marathon continues to heat up, all kinds of chaos can not be ignored.

  The number of events continues to hit record highs.

  On March 11th, 2018 China Marathon Annual Report released by China Athletics Association at the annual press conference of 2018 China Athletics Association showed that the scale of China Marathon events continued to increase, and the industry-driven effect appeared, further enlarging its influence.

  By the end of 2018, there were 1,581 marathons and related sports events (road races with more than 800 people and cross-country races with more than 300 people) held in China, an increase of 479 games compared with 1,102 games in 2017, with an increase of 43.46%. The cumulative number of participants was 5.83 million, an increase of 850,000 or 17.07% compared with the total participation scale of 4.98 million in 2017.

  With the marathon events in first-tier cities such as Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou "one ticket is hard to find", the event resources are also shifting to small and medium-sized cities. The data shows that in 2015, only 79 cities in China held marathon events, which increased to 133 cities in 2016 and 234 in 2017. In 2018, 285 prefecture-level cities held marathon events, covering more than 85% of the prefecture-level cities in China.

  The data also shows that Zhejiang, Jiangsu and Guangdong provinces are far ahead in the number of marathon events, and the number of marathon events held in Beijing, Shanghai and Shandong has also exceeded 60. Some insiders believe that the regional distribution of the events is consistent with the pattern of local economic strength, indicating that the holding of marathon events depends on a certain economic foundation and consumer demand.

  The number of events is constantly reaching new heights, and the consumer groups of marathons are growing. The "blowout" growth of the running population has shown a good market prospect for the marathon industry. Focusing on marathon events, radiation drives the integration and development of catering, tourism, transportation, retail and other related industries, and perfecting the whole industrial chain is the next key breakthrough. The key words are "specialization" and "refinement".

  According to the report, in 2018, the total annual consumption of China Marathon reached 17.8 billion yuan, the total annual consumption driven by events reached 28.8 billion yuan, and the total annual industrial output reached 74.6 billion yuan, an increase of 7% compared with last year. In particular, the fast-moving consumer goods related to running, such as the development of various running equipment and smart wearable products, have become the "big cake" that major sports brands compete for in marathon events.

  "2018 is an important year for China Marathon to accelerate reform and development and seek quantitative change to qualitative change." Yu Hongchen, director of the Athletics Management Center of the State Sports General Administration and vice chairman and secretary general of the China Athletics Association, said at the press conference, "Marathon has played an important role in promoting, upgrading and promoting national fitness, urban tourism consumption, economic growth, city visibility and reputation in all provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities."

  The industrial chain that ran out

  For most runners, running has a natural advantage — — The participation threshold is low, simple and easy to operate. As long as you have a pair of running shoes and a sportswear, you can easily get on the road. In China, marathon is becoming a "super online celebrity"-like sport, and more and more people are keen on "horse racing". Running on social media such as WeChat and Weibo has increasingly become synonymous with pursuing health and improving the quality of life.

  In 2011, the domestic GDP per capita exceeded 5,000 US dollars, which was regarded as the first year of "marathon fever" in China. That year, China Athletics Association participated in 22 marathon and related road running events. As a result, the development momentum of China Marathon began to appear. By the beginning of 2015, the China Athletics Association announced that it would completely cancel the examination and approval procedures for marathon events and simplify the access procedures, and the number of events immediately "blew out".

  The scale of the event has come up, and the number and quality of runners have also improved. Taking the Beijing Marathon in 2018 as an example, the number of applicants exceeded 110,000 for the first time, and 111,793 people competed for 30,000 all-Malaysian places, making the winning rate a record low.

  The popularity of marathon is not only reflected in the number of participants, but also in the growing market of running-related products. Advertising, clothing, smart wear, real estate, finance, medical care, etc. are all related to marathon. In addition to enlarging the city’s business cards and enhancing the popularity of corporate sponsors, it also enhanced the sales of sports equipment, thus driving the actual benefits of the entire road running industry chain.

  Take Xiamen, which has the reputation of the most beautiful marathon track, as an example: in 2018, "Xiamen Horse" brought Xiamen 116 million yuan in direct economic benefits, 175 million yuan in driving economic benefits and 291 million yuan in comprehensive economic benefits. On the day of the competition, more than 20,000 tourists visited the competition. Only foreign and foreign athletes who came to participate in the competition contributed about 27 million yuan to Xiamen’s accommodation and catering.

  Like all sports industries, marathon industry has a large development space and a long industrial chain extension, which has a wide impact on local tourism, urban impression, urban planning and transformation, and other industries in the city. The correlation of industries provides more possibilities for industrial development space.

  Among the top ten most commercially valuable urban marathon events in 2018, Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen are among them, followed by second-tier and quasi-second-tier cities such as Xiamen, Wuhan, Hangzhou, Zhengzhou, Xi ‘an, Lanzhou and Chongqing, and some county-level areas such as Dawu County, Xiaogan, Hubei, and Sihong County, Suqian, Jiangsu, have also joined the ranks of holding marathon events.

  According to the development goal of China Athletics Association in 2020, there will be more than 1,900 marathons in China, with 10 million participants, and the scale of marathon sports industry will exceed 120 billion yuan. The marathon in the 100 billion economic market is waiting for more individuals or enterprises to dig gold.

  Under the "blowout", there are also many problems

  The threshold for running a marathon seems to be very low, but it is precisely a project that tests the ability of organizing and coordinating events. Every marathon is a test of a city’s traffic operation, medical first aid, and citizen tolerance. For example, the details such as track setting, guide board setting and mobile toilets are not well considered, and in the end, it will not enhance the reputation of the city, but will be counterproductive.

  It is particularly noteworthy that there are a large number of people participating in the marathon, and ensuring the personal safety of the participants is the top priority for the continuous success of the marathon. Moreover, due to the large number of participants in this kind of sports event, there is a huge demand for medical rescue resources, but marathon events in various places are facing the embarrassment of "lack of internal strength", especially the lack of medical training related to marathon for medical staff.

  At the same time, although the public’s participation in the marathon is getting higher and higher, it is actually very difficult for the event operators to make ends meet, and even fewer can make direct profits. Many city marathons are in an embarrassing situation of not making money because of problems such as vague brand positioning, rough operation and making money at a loss.

  At present, the operation of domestic marathon events mainly depends on government subsidies and independent investment, and some local marathon events also expand ticket income, tourism training, derivatives and other aspects of income. In terms of investment promotion, except for some head events, many marathons have shortcomings in sponsorship. From the perspective of the government, all localities are keen to hold marathon events, mainly because of the brand effect of fancy cities and its pulling effect on local tourism, catering, accommodation and other industries.

  "Only high-quality competitions and high-quality runners can truly maximize the economic and social benefits of the marathon industry." Some experts believe that the domestic marathon is in the transition period and running-in period, and many operations need to be standardized. In addition to the related market economy as the main axis, the benefits of marathon events are more social and urban benefits.

  As a matter of fact, people’s enthusiasm for participation is not diminished, and the demand for sports consumption is huge. Driven by the interests of all parties, the organizers of the event have staged farce from time to time while the domestic marathon is in full swing. Runners and organizers who lack the awareness of rules, from banning drugs and replacing races to cutting corners and handing the national flag, are overdrawing and damaging the marathon brand and marathon culture.

  The Annual Report of 2018 China Marathon of China Athletics Association, while affirming the achievements, also revealed the difficulties and challenges faced by the development of China Marathon, including the weak cultural foundation of marathon and the imperfect awareness of industry rules; Product innovation is insufficient, and the homogenization of events is obvious; The concept and method of industry supervision need to be innovated urgently; Penalties for violations of the relevant organizers are not timely; The competitive level of marathon still needs to be improved.

  According to reports, the awareness of rules has now become the consensus in the industry. According to the plan, China Athletics Association will improve six kinds of management documents such as competition management, competition discipline, international activities, management of operating companies and club management this year, and release the organization guide and competition guide for marathon events. The standardized and healthy development of marathon has become a new expectation of the industry.

Not all stories are love stories | Reading Day

Recently, Chinese-American writer Yiyun Li’s novel "Should I Go" met readers in China, which is the first time that Yiyun Li has been translated into Chinese and introduced into domestic novels.

Many readers in China have heard of Yiyun Li, but many readers in China read Yiyun Li for the first time. Yiyun Li went to the United States to study after graduating from the Biology Department of Peking University, and later turned to writing. From the publication of her first novel collection "A Thousand Years of Worship" in 2005 to the present, she has always written in English, and has become one of the most accomplished Chinese writers in English. Now, she is finally ready to return her works to China.

The first novel translated into Chinese and published.

Many readers in China have heard of Yiyun Li.

Yiyun Li, a Chinese-American writer, is currently a professor and director of creative writing program at Lewis Art Center of Princeton University. She is a "post-70s" who went to the United States to study after graduating from the Biology Department of Peking University, and later turned to English writing. Her first collection of short stories, A Thousand Years of Worship, has aroused widespread concern and affirmation, and won the Frank O ‘Connor International Short Story Award, the American Pen Hemingway Award and the British Guardian Newcomer Award. She herself has been rated as the most noteworthy writer by major authoritative literary magazines, and won the MacArthur Genius Award in the United States in 2010. In 2012, Yiyun Li won the O Henry Award for her short story Kindness, making her the first Chinese writer to win the award. In 2022, Yiyun Li was elected as an academician of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and a year later, she won the Faulkner Prize for Literature for her new work The Book of Goose.

So far, Yiyun Li has published six novels, three collections of short stories and one memoir. Should I Go, published in 2020, is her first novel translated into Chinese. In this novel, "Lilia has been married three times, raised five children, and is now looking forward to the birth of the 17th grandchild. She has been helping people around her to recognize herself all her life. At the age of eighty-five, she began to be fascinated by the diary of her old friend Roland. When she was young, they had a romantic relationship. She wanted to see what she could leave for the younger generation. The diary recorded Roland’s affairs in great detail. Lilia took pains to add footnotes to everything. A secret relationship that lasted for decades was slowly uncovered, including the existence of her daughter Lucy, who even Roland himself didn’t know. Flame-like passion, the grief of annihilation, people’s hearts go back and forth between these two poles, but they have to find their home and exit and continue to cruise. Yiyun Li gave a dazzling praise to life in the novel, about Lilia and about everyone who comes and goes in our lives. "

At the launch of Should I Go in Shanghai, Bao Huiyi, a young writer and associate professor of English at Fudan University, said that at first she thought the novel was a work about how to face aging and the last years of life, but later she found that it subverted all her presuppositions. She explained that the 80-year-old woman was obsessed with her old lover and went to such great trouble to read his diary, probably because she was immersed in the past, but this was not the case at all. With the development of the story, if it had a core meaning, it was the death of her daughter. In the novel, Lilia gave birth to a child with Roland, or she got a life from Roland. Later, this life passed away. Therefore, in Bao Huiyi’s understanding, Lilia didn’t go to the diary to trace the old love affair at all, and the author Yiyun Li also warned readers from the beginning that not all stories are love stories.

Who collects who?

When reading Should I Go, Bao Huiyi found two different voices contending. "There is a male first-person narrator in the book, and then the voice-over is female, because Lilia is constantly making comments when reading Roland’s book, and subverts the male voice, or it can’t be said to be subversive, because her comments actually appear irregularly, which can be said to be a deconstruction of the life story that the man thinks he is. Then you will see such a struggle for the narrative subject, which is very interesting and very tense. "

Bao Huiyi believes that "Should I Go" has at least three or more layers of structure, the first of which is Roland, the author of the diary, and Lilia, the commentator, and the relationship between Lilia and Roland can be expanded. However, Yiyun Li is not unconventional. In an interview with Zhong Na, a bilingual writer and literary translator, Yiyun Li said that she was willing to rely on a traditional structure, and she thought that she could tell the story well with the help of an existing framework. In Bao Huiyi’s view, this is actually a solid writing attitude. Writers rely on their own handy framework to write dialogues and characters well.

Bao Huiyi said that perhaps when reading more than ten pages in the book, readers will feel that Yiyun Li is an author with profound narrative skills and sophisticated life wisdom. For example, in the book, the struggle for topics such as memory and time, the man thinks that he can write a book with a coffin, and the young girl becomes his lover, just one of his many "collections", even just a small footnote in his life, but who actually collects who, who forgets who, what is permanence, what is transience and what is possession?

Zhong Na shared her reading experience at the launch of Should I Go? Zhong Na said that in "Should I Go", readers can see that Lilia shared a lot of life wisdom, and there are many enlightening things, especially some golden sentences, which also show the personality of the characters. "I think the interesting thing that Yiyun Li presents in this book is that there are many golden sentences, but at the same time, the golden sentences are constantly being deconstructed and overthrown, and they are often contradictory, which actually constitutes the personality characteristics of Lilia."

In addition, Lilia keeps reading the diary of his old lover and responding, which seems paranoid. How to understand this behavior, Zhong Na spent a long time thinking, and finally found the answer in another book by Yiyun Li, Dear Friends, Write Your Life from My Life. "Yiyun Li suffered from depression for two years, and then she did some thinking and digestion by reading and reviewing her life, including her relationship with her family, her relationship with literature, and her relationship with the first half of her life. So in fact, she is slowly gaining some wisdom to regain the balance of her life by constantly reading the writer’s letters and diaries. So that book is actually having a dialogue with "Should I Go?", that is, through very in-depth reading, the lives of readers and authors are intertwined. So after I reread the book, I read "Should I Go" again, and I have a feeling of understanding Lilia. When a person’s life is in a dilemma, she re-establishes a narrative by reading this most extreme way to enter the other’s brain. "

A Chinese writer who writes in English

The Chinese simplified version of Should I Go was published, which made many readers who had heard of Yiyun Li read Yiyun Li for the first time.

At the launch of Should I Go, Penglun, an archipelago book publisher, recalled his association with Yiyun Li and shared the publishing story of Should I Go. He said that for many readers, Yiyun Li has always been a legend or a legend. From the publication of the first collection of novels "A Thousand Years of Worship" in 2005 to the present, she has always written in English, but she was not born and raised in the United States, but a writer who went to study in the United States from China. Before going to the United States, she had never published her works in Chinese. Among the current Chinese writers, Yiyun Li can be said to be the most accomplished writer in English, and many readers in China who are concerned about the world literary world are also curious. Why has Yiyun Li never published Chinese works before?

Peng Lun introduced that he began to pay attention to Yiyun Li in 2004. At that time, his job was to report some trends in the literary and publishing circles at home and abroad, and he learned by chance that Yiyun Li had won a new literary prize. He had never heard of this writer, so he searched the Internet for relevant information and got in touch with Yiyun Li by email.

In 2005, Yiyun Li published her first collection of short stories in the United States and won some literary prizes. At that time, Peng Lungang started publishing and asked Yiyun Li if she could translate this collection of novels into China, but she refused. With the increasing popularity of Yiyun Li, other China media began to pay attention to this writer. However, when asked when he would publish a book in China, Yiyun Li said no.

"I noticed at that time that she felt that she was not ready at that stage, or that China was not ready to accept her as a Chinese writer writing in English." Peng Lun said.

Ten years later, until 2020, Peng Lun suddenly received a letter from Yiyun Li’s agent and her latest novel manuscript at that time, that is, "Should I go?".

Zhong Na thinks, "Should I Go" is a very mature writer who is very satisfied with his current creation, so Yiyun Li is willing to make it the starting point for his work to enter the Chinese world. Zhong Na has been paying attention to Yiyun Li’s creative career. In her view, the writer’s writing has been constantly changing, broadening her own boundaries. In the early days, Yiyun Li’s writing actually paid more attention to the depiction of characters’ inner images, as well as the connection of very special characters’ emotions and relationships, and even hid himself among the characters. But later, Yiyun Li did a lot of experiments and broadening on texts and writing, and his works were more mature than those in his early years.

It is reported that besides Should I Go, Yiyun Li’s other two works, The Book of Goose and Wednesday’s Children, have also been put on the publishing schedule. "Although her works entered the Chinese world for the first time, many readers, especially female readers, recognized her voice and the charm of her works very quickly, which gave me great confidence." Peng Lun said.

Create a box office miracle and gain industry recognition. In 2023, female filmmakers will go further.

[Global Times special correspondent Dong Ming] In the coming year of 2023, female filmmakers will shine brilliantly. In Europe and America, from the Oscar at the beginning of the year to the Cannes Film Festival and summer file in the middle of the year, and then to the nomination of the Golden Globe Award at the end of the year, a series of works dominated by women, focusing on women’s themes and paying attention to women’s perspectives, have taken a huge step forward this year, both in box office appeal and artistic level. Compared with male filmmakers, although the overall proportion of women, especially those behind the scenes, is still not high, this trend is gratifying. At the same time, there is still room for women to break through and stabilize in many aspects of the film and television industry.
"She changed the status quo."
Last week, Cannes Film Festival announced that female directors, screenwriter and actress greta gerwig will be the chairman of the jury of the main competition unit in 2024, and she will become the first American woman to play this important role in Cannes history. Cannes announced that "greta gerwig is a hero of our time, and she has changed the status quo in this highly standardized film industry and this era that needs careful examination".
This extremely high evaluation of Cannes also received Gerwig’s own enthusiastic feedback: "I love movies, like to create movies and comment on movies. As a movie lover, Cannes has always been the peak of the language of movies. I am surprised, excited and honored to be the chairman of the Cannes jury, and I can’t wait to feel this experience. "
Gerwig, who just turned 40 this year, is not only the youngest chairman of the Cannes jury after Italian actress sophia loren in 1966, but also the first American female directors to hold this position. The last time female directors was the chairman, it was jane campion from New Zealand in 2014. In the history of Cannes, it is usually a veteran filmmaker, a world-recognized master director and an honorary acting star who can serve as the chairman, and Gerwig can win the favor of the organizers precisely because her work Barbie, which was released this summer, "shocked the world", achieved unprecedented success at the box office and word of mouth, and really "changed the film industry".

Barbie, a comedy with a female theme and created by women, earned $1.4 billion at the global box office. Gerwig also surpassed China female directors and actor Jia Ling to become the world’s highest-grossing female directors, even more dazzling than Oppenheimer, which was dominated by men in the same period. In the list of finalists for the Golden Globe Awards announced not long ago, Barbie led with nine nominations. Both Gerwig’s previous works, Frances Ha, as an actor, and Lady Bird Little Women, as a director and screenwriter, have reflected a unique female perspective, and created a suitable stage for Saoirse Ronan and Margot Elise Robbie, which can be regarded as a master of current female filmmakers.
"superhero" in reality
Coincidentally, another Berlin Film Festival, which is very important in the world film industry, recently announced that lupita nyongo, an African-American actress, will be the chairman of the main competition next year, which is the first time in the film festival history that a Hollywood colored actress has held this important position. With her talent and hard work, this Kenyan actress not only gained a firm foothold in Hollywood, but also won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress (12 Years a Slave) and gained high popularity in superhero movies like Black Panther, which is enough to inspire more women of different ethnic groups and cultures to enter this industry.
At the Oscar ceremony at the beginning of this year, "Instant Universe", starring Chinese actress Yang Ziqiong and telling the life and affection of Asian American women, won seven awards, including best film. At the age of 61, Yang Ziqiong became the first Asian woman to win the Oscar for best actress.
Yang Ziqiong, who holds a golden statuette, encouraged Asian teenagers to pursue their dreams bravely at the award ceremony, telling women never to give up and not to accept other people’s definitions easily, especially mothers all over the world deserve thanks, because they are "superheroes" in reality. After The Instant Universe and Yang Ziqiong won the Oscar, more and more similar themes began to explore the strong, brave and persistent side of women, and promoted the continuous emergence of female filmmakers.
"This year is a great progress."
Nowadays, it is an indisputable fact that women’s themes are very popular around the world and there are many excellent works by female filmmakers. In the past, films, awards and film festivals dominated by men had to face up to this trend. Not only Cannes and Berlin invited women to chair the jury, but also Cate Blanchett, Kristen Stuart and Julian Moore held this position a few years ago, and the jury led by women will also pay more attention to the works directed by women.
This year, the best film in Cannes was awarded to the French female directors Justine Trier’s The Trial of Falling, which is the second time that female directors won the Palme d ‘Or in three years after Titanium in 2021. It’s not that the female judges are leaning towards female directors. In fact, the high artistic level of The Trial of Falling has been widely recognized, including the European Film Festival at the end of the year and many professional awards, which are also praising this serious work about criminal trial. "The Trial of Falling" and "Barbie" are both an art and a business, which prove that in the current world film industry, female directors can also shoot what a male director can shoot, and female directors can also earn what a male director can earn.
Manorak Dargis, a columnist in The New York Times, is quite optimistic about the "feminine style" in the world film industry: "For the first time in history, I am optimistic about the performance of women in the film industry. Since Viguero’s hurt locker won the Oscar in 2009, we are experiencing a drastic change in women and movies, an upgrade in quantity and consciousness. "
According to the analysis of the Golden Globe nomination, Forbes said, "This year is a great progress. After all, the last time a woman won the Best Director Award, it was back in barbra streisand in 1984. In the history of Golden Globe Awards, only nine female directors were nominated, and this time, two female directors were shortlisted (Ge Weige and Celine Song’s Past Life), indicating that Hollywood has made remarkable progress in the inclusiveness and diversity of women. "
However, although the prospects are encouraging, it does not mean that female filmmakers are on an equal footing with men. According to statistics, among the 250 films with the highest box office in 2022, only 24% came from female directors, only 7% were female photographers and 21% were female screenwriters. Among the top 1600 films at the box office from 2007 to 2022, 80% were directed by white men, only 4% by white women, and only 1% by ethnic minority women. Barbie has created a box office miracle this year, but it will take some time to accumulate and grow in the future to produce more "big-name female directors" and "gold-medal producers" like Gerwig and Robbie, who can really lead the project, attract investment and decide the cast.
