Atypical American First Lady Melania: Not a socialite but a house girl.

  Melania: Atypical First Lady of the United States

  Our reporter/Li Jing

  This article first appeared in China News Weekly, No.895.

  "The shape of the nose is obviously wrong" and "the height is at least 6 inches shorter" … … US President Trump and his wife, Melania, made a trip to the hurricane-stricken area in Alabama in early March and fried the pot on American social media. The "first lady" standing next to Trump and wearing oversized sunglasses is considered by many netizens not to be the real Melania, but body double.

  Trump tweeted on this rumor on March 13, saying that such speculation is fake news. He believes that the media retouched Melania’s photos, and then caused conspiracy theories, saying that it was not the real Melania standing beside him, and that Melania was not in Alabama, but somewhere else. "As time goes by, these people become crazier!" Trump said.

  This is not the first time that Melania has been suspected of having body double. In August 2018, Melania and Trump went to Ohio to attend the event. There were also rumors on the Internet that Melania, who visited the Children’s Hospital, was completely different from the one who appeared on the tarmac earlier that day.

  Internet speculation has something to do with Melania’s low profile and frequent "disappearance". As the first "first lady" of Eastern European origin who was not born in the United States, Melania, although a frequent visitor in the fashion circle, is called one of the most "low-key" first ladies in American history, which is in sharp contrast with Trump, who acts in a high-profile manner. According to a survey published by YouGov and The Economist magazine on March 7, 2019, among the Trump family, the first lady Melania is the favorite of the American people.

  According to the poll data released by CNN on a regular basis, Melania’s support rate has been satisfactory, and it has remained close to 50% to 60% for most of 2018. Only in December did the poll support rate drop to 43%, while Trump’s support rate has been hovering around 40%.

  "reserved, elegant and calm"

  Melania moved to the White House only six months after Trump took office, and her "predecessors" usually moved to the White House in about a month. The reason she gave was to stay in new york and wait for her 11-year-old son Barron to finish the school year.

  During Melania’s absence from the White House for half a year, Trump’s daughter, ivanka, to some extent filled the vacuum created by the absence of the First Lady. As an adviser to the President, ivanka not only has his own office in the West Wing of the White House, but also attended Trump’s meetings with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau and other dignitaries, and presided over and arranged a series of important activities in the White House.

  Even after Melania moved into the White House, ivanka often helped Trump prepare celebrations and social activities. Although ivanka has repeatedly said that it is inappropriate to associate her with the title of "First Lady", she is still regarded by the media as playing a part of similar role.

  Not only did Melania move into the White House belatedly, but he also took his time to set up a working team and carry out public activities. In her first year in the White House, she spent most of her time in a low-key and inaction state. So far, Melania’s office has only about 10 staff members, and there is a lack of experts in policy research and public relations. Previously, the office team of the first lady in the United States usually included more than 20 professionals.

  A close friend of Melania said in an interview with GQ magazine that Melania’s personality is completely different from that of her husband Trump. She is reserved, elegant and calm. "She does have money, but she is not a socialite but a house girl."

  Among the successive "first ladies" in the United States, Melania’s experience is quite unique. She was born in 1970 in a civilian family in the Slovenian town of Sevnica. Her father was a marketing manager in an automobile factory and her mother worked in a clothing factory. She studied design and architecture at the University of Ljubljana in Slovenia for one year. Because of her outstanding appearance, she began to model for fashion photographers at the age of 16, and then she made a living in Milan, Paris and other cities. This experience has enabled her to speak French, Serbian and German in addition to English and Slovenian.

  In the impression of Melania University classmates, she has always been a quiet person, who doesn’t smoke, drink or shuttle to parties. Even after she started her modeling career, she likes to go home immediately after work and stay with her equally quiet sister. Petra Sedge, her college classmate, recalled to GQ that boys liked party girls at that time, but unfortunately they were not. The party usually stayed in Melania or Petra’s dormitory to drink juice and chat.

  In 1995, Melania met Paul Zampori, a partner of the famous Metropolitan Model Company, in Milan, and with his encouragement, he went to the United States for development in 1996. In an interview with New York Post in 2005, Paul Zampori also said that Melania didn’t often go out, didn’t go to clubs or bars, only went to the movies and went to the gym. Before Trump, she had never dated anyone in new york. "This is a girl who models camel cigarettes on a huge billboard in Times Square, but she stays at home all the time."

  Many years ago, Melania told the media that if Trump was elected president, she would be a "very traditional" first lady. Today, although he lives in the White House, The New York Times reports that Melania has few friends in Washington and few public activities. When she is not looking after her son Barron, she goes back to her home in new york at least once a month to see people in her small circle, including her sister and her hairdresser.

  Lauren Wright, an expert on White House political issues at Princeton University, has written the book Representing the President: Contemporary Presidential Spouses and Communication Strategies in the White House. In an interview with China Newsweek, she said that compared with previous "first ladies", Melania is more resistant to contact with the media, unwilling to show her face too much, but wants to live her own life as much as possible.

  Although this is completely understandable from a personal perspective, the White House has lost some political influence that can only be obtained through the "first lady". The American public hopes to have an active, people-friendly, open and enthusiastic "first lady" in the East Wing of the White House, and is full of curiosity about the "first lady" itself and the life of the president and his wife. Most previous governments have made good use of this public sentiment.

  Lauren Wright also explained that the "first lady" of the United States is not a formal government position, and there is no clear responsibility, which is both the biggest challenge and the biggest opportunity. On the one hand, for a "first lady" like Melania, who doesn’t show her face in public activities, the risk of making mistakes or make a fool of oneself is relatively low, and at the same time, maintaining an image with a light political color and a vague party position, as a political outsider, there is less trouble. However, this also means giving up a valuable opportunity to win public opinion and support for the president and his political agenda, which is precisely the key to the role of "first lady".

  "Careful wife, strict mother"

  At Trump’s inauguration ceremony, Melania, who was originally smiling, suddenly stopped smiling and looked solemn after Trump turned away. Such a video is widely spread on the Internet. In addition, the American media at least twice caught Melania refusing to hold hands with Trump in public.

  The New York Times reported that Melania has an independent bedroom separated from her husband; When they travel, they have their own hotel suites. Last year, when Trump was caught in an affair with porn star Stony Daniels and a hush money scandal, Melania didn’t stand up for her husband, but chose silence.

  As early as the beginning of 2017, the famous American columnist Wolff wrote in his new book "Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House" that the married life of Trump and his wife Melaniya was different from ordinary people and they did not meet each other for a long time.

  In a report in May 2018, Washington post quoted an insider as saying that the Trumps usually don’t spend their leisure time together. During his vacation at Haihu Manor in Florida, President Trump would play golf or have dinner with important people in the political, business and media circles, but Melania often disappeared. Some assistants revealed that the couple did not eat together at the White House. However, Stephanie grisham, a spokeswoman for Melania, denied that the Trumps had a bad relationship, saying that as long as President Trump didn’t visit, the family spent most of the evening together, and questioning the Trumps’ relationship was just noise.

  Melania and Trump met at a party held in Zampori in 1998. At that time, Trump fell in love with Melania at first sight with his girlfriend, and took the initiative to talk to Melania while her girlfriend went to the bathroom. Melania refused Trump’s request for phone number, but asked Trump to provide contact information. Trump gave Melania all his office landline, private mobile phone and other contact information as a sign of sincerity. Melania recalled to the media many times that they had a good chemical reaction when they met for the first time.

  After dating for several years and going through a breakup and reunion, the couple held a grand wedding in 2005 at Ma arago Manor in Palm Beach, Florida. Melania wore a Dior haute couture wedding dress worth $100,000, which was decorated with 1,500 crystals, all sewn by workers. Celebrities gathered at the wedding, and the photo of Trump and Clinton, which was widely circulated on the Internet during the 2016 presidential election, came from this wedding. An old classmate of Melania told the American media: "Trump will marry Melania, largely because of Melania’s traditional values and emphasis on family."

  In 2005, Trump said in a TV talk show: "Melania is both a careful wife and a strict mother." Trump said that he values this very much and gets along with Melania very easily. "I work hard from morning till night, and I don’t want to go home and worry about the relationship between the two."

  Melania once said in an interview with GQ magazine: "I don’t get involved in politics and policies. Policies are my husband’s business." But she said that she is not without ideas and will share her ideas with Trump. As to what suggestions she made, her response was: "No one knows, and no one will know, because this is between my husband and me."

  Last August, The New York Times reported that Trump was usually not influenced by anyone, but he listened to Melania more attentively and respected her suggestions and advice than anyone else.

  Atypical "first lady"

  Compared with Michelle, who studied at Princeton University and Harvard University and worked as a professional lawyer, Melania, who is a model, always seems to have an inferior reputation.

  In September 2017, Melania took photos of more than 10 children collecting vegetables in the White House garden, and was criticized by American online media for posing because of her stiff posture and clean shoes. A shirt she was wearing, worth more than $1,000, was also criticized. There are also social media that attach photos of Mrs. Obama Michelle working in the White House garden for comparison, saying that "this is what the first lady works." In the photo, Michelle is struggling to shovel the soil with a plow in her hand, and her pants are covered with mud.

  On Christmas Day in 2018, Melania and Trump flew more than 6,000 miles and came to Iraq for 11 hours one way, bringing Christmas greetings to the US military. Melania was derided as "out of touch" because he wore cheap boots worth more than 100 dollars. Just a few days before Christmas, Michelle wore a pair of boots with a price of $3,900 during her own book promotion, which was rated as "amazing" by the media and praised Michelle’s fashion taste.

  American TV commentator Beauzels wrote that this is a double standard. He believes that liberals are partial to Michelle, and that Michelle is a representative of humble origin, and "disconnection" is a proprietary word they use to imply the difference between the Republican "first lady" and middle-income people. He was somewhat aggrieved by Melania: "Please don’t forget that the present ‘ The first lady ’ Melania was born in Yugoslavia, a former communist country, and she truly represents the common people ‘ The first lady ’ 。”

On November 10, 2017, during President Trump’s visit to China, Melania visited the Panda Pavilion in Beijing Zoo. Figure/vision china

  According to a document submitted by the White House to Congress in 2017, Melania employs less than half of the staff in the East Wing Office of the White House, and pays a total salary of about $486,700 a year, which is about $760,000 less than his predecessor (paying $1.24 million). Stephanie grisham, a spokeswoman for Melania, said, "Like everything she does, she is very careful in recruiting, focusing on quality rather than quantity." She wants to be alert and responsible when it comes to taxpayers’ money.

  In June 2018, the Trump administration implemented a "zero tolerance" policy for illegal immigrants, resulting in more than 2,300 children being separated from their parents. When the incident caused an uproar, Melania came to the front desk. Before she made a special trip to Texas to visit the children in custody, she made a rare statement, saying that she didn’t like to see children separated from their families, and hoped that the two parties would unite to realize the immigration policy reform. She believed that the United States should be a country that abides by laws and also a country that governs the country with love.

  Under the huge opposition, Trump quickly signed an executive order to cancel this policy. At that time, he said: "ivanka feels very strongly, my wife feels very strongly, and I feel very strongly. We don’t like to see the separation of flesh and blood."

  The New York Times reported that Melania was the only important American politician who visited the US-Mexico border after the incident. However, the goodwill of her trip was printed with "I really don’t care, do you?" The jacket with the words erased.

  Stephanie grisham said in a statement that the jacket "has no hidden information". A person close to Melania explained to The New York Times that, in fact, the jacket was aimed at anyone inside and outside the White House who wanted to criticize her decision, because she visited these children regardless of the strict immigration policy of the White House.

  In the first week of October, 2018, Melania, who has been the "first lady" for almost two years, started her first solo visit, visiting four African countries, namely Ghana, Kenya, Malawi and Egypt, and visiting local hospitals, schools, orphanages, nature reserves and historical sites.

  Melania’s dress once again caused controversy, and she was attacked for wearing a white helmet. It is said that this hat is reminiscent of European imperialism and colonialists, because British soldiers who colonized Africa and India in the 19th century often wore this helmet. At the first stop in Ghana, Melania’s long red and white striped dress became a hot topic. This long skirt, which was speculated by the media to come from the French luxury brand Silin, is worth 2000 dollars.

  Melania immediately told the Associated Press: "What I have done, what our assistance has done and what my initiative has done are very important. I hope everyone will talk about my trip, not what I am wearing! "

  Two months later, in an interview with Fox News, Melania said with emotion: "The fashion industry is like this, and so is politics. Both industries are difficult, and you need to have a thick skin." In the face of media reports, Melania said that they "can’t stop me from doing what I think is right".

  Washington post commented that since President Trump himself has not visited Africa, Melania’s visit will help draw attention to the Trump administration’s Africa policy. The trip to Africa was planned by Melania herself. In preparation for her visit, she also learned a lot of materials about the history, culture and current situation of the countries she visited. New york media "Newsday" commented that Melania’s achievements in visiting Africa have gone beyond Trump’s policy scope, and she has made it clear that her visit to Africa is not only for Trump’s endorsement.

  Before Melania returned, Trump tweeted that she "did a really good job in Africa, people liked her very much, and she liked them very much!"

  Lauren Wright, a White House political expert at Princeton University in the United States, told China Newsweek that as the "first lady", Melania has always played a role, but many times it seems that behind the scenes, she directly influenced policies by making suggestions to President Trump privately, such as personnel arrangements and the detention of illegal immigrants.

  In May 2018, Melania held his first press conference in the White House Rose Garden, and introduced his own public welfare plan "Be Best" to the media, expressing his commitment to helping children cope with the challenges and difficulties in their growth. When she spoke in English with a distinct Eastern European accent for nearly 10 minutes, Trump was also sitting under the stage, listening intently.

  In Lauren Wright’s view, the policy design of the "do your best" plan is atypical and does not follow the old routine of the "first lady" agenda. She said that the political agenda of the "first lady" usually strategically connects with the president’s policy platform, which will be an important part of the president’s policy, and generally shows the "flexible" side for the president’s controversial policies.

  For example, laura bush’s "Literacy Initiative" and "Prepare for Reading" plan all revolve around President George W. Bush’s "No Child Left Behind" plan. Her background as a teacher complements her husband’s agenda. Michelle Obama’s initiative to reduce childhood obesity can be "seamlessly connected" with President Obama’s health care policy reform. Comparatively speaking, "doing the best" rarely overlaps with President Trump’s other policy agendas, and there seems to be conflict in some aspects.

  During his visit to Africa, Melania rarely accepted an exclusive interview with ABC’s chief American journalist Lamas, covering a wide range of topics, including White House personnel, Trump’s affair, the "Me Too" movement and so on. In response to the rumor that she has 100% control over Trump, Melania said: "I wish I did, but I just gave him my suggestions and opinions, and then he would do what he wanted."

  Lamas also mentioned that some people say that in the White House, Melania is a "gatekeeper". Melania replied: "Yes, I give him honest advice!"

The 2024 Spring Festival box office set a record, and they proved themselves again!


Special feature of 1905 film network The 2024 Spring Festival file finally ended with 8.016 billion yuan, which not only set a new box office record, but also the overall quality of the film was widely recognized by the audience.


In the strong lineup of the Spring Festival, many people have also dedicated wonderful moments that impressed everyone on the big screen. Let’s follow the Spring Festival special program "Performance Appreciation Class in 2023" of China Film Report, and see if the "performance closing time" that hit you in the past year is among them.


Realistic films achieve "daily aesthetics" performance


Looking at the new films at the head of the Spring Festival, realistic themes and ordinary people are still the "main theme" of creation. The director’s new film, which continues to decline at the box office and gains good reputation, is undoubtedly the representative work.


From the main characters to the supporting roles, every character in Article 20 finally presents the most realistic life texture. Obviously, this is the director’s core appeal at the beginning of "organizing the bureau".



In the casting stage, Zhang Yimou made a special request to find the actors who left a deep impression on him in the film and television works in the past year. Therefore, in the story of Article 20, we saw the big bang and the best actor nominated for the Golden Rooster Award.


Although the scenes in this work are not important, it has not affected the wonderful performance of the two. For example, Zhang Yi’s "Angry" performance of Director Zhang in the face of Li Maojuan’s repression and details, and Yang Haoyu’s reversal of joy and sadness that almost made the audience exclaim, all show their skill.



Looking back on the past 2023, Zhang Yi and Yang Haoyu were both active in film and television creation. In addition to the drama The Knockout, three films of Zhang Yi have landed in the cinema. According to Li Hong, a professor in the Performance Department of the Central Academy of Drama, a performance worthy of being called Zhang Yi’s "life fragment" comes from works.


At the end of the film, "Stone" played by Zhang Yi dances with the feeling of paying tribute to "Singin’ in the Rain". "There is the logic and emotion of the character here, which expresses his attitude towards life. As an actor, his (dance) movements are not good, but his emotions are the best. Combining with his movements, he has made the image of this character. This fragment can be a fragment of Zhang Yi’s life." Professor Li Hong explained.



The nomination of the Golden Rooster Award for Best Actor has, to some extent, proved Yang Haoyu’s accuracy and Excellence in handling the role of Tang Zhijun in Cosmic Exploration Editorial Department. The director once said that among the four nominations for his work, he was most expecting Yang Haoyu to win the prize.


Li Hong also interpreted the goodness of "Tang Zhijun" from a professional point of view: "He is a widowed and lonely person, his eyes are always evasive, and his language is also very distinctive. Every time he finishes, he must be’ hmm’." But when he mentions the science he believes in, the universe, aliens, and the daughter he deeply loves, he will become stuck and firm. "This is an emotion that runs through, and there are many (detailed) micro-expressions."



Three generations of actors, old, middle-aged and young, have different performance "sense of strength"


In addition to the above-mentioned two actors whose acting skills broke out again during the Spring Festival, Professor Li Hong also paid attention to several representative figures with full sense of strength in acting among the three generations of actors in the past year’s big-screen works.


In the film, he has dedicated two characters with different qualities but full of texture to the audience, and his performance has been selected into the annual "appreciation class", which is well deserved. Li Hong analyzed teacher Li Xuejian’s shaping of Zhou Zhezhi and Xibo Hou Jichang from two aspects.



"Actors should pay special attention to their faces, beautiful and imperfect. Such as wrinkles and the sag of the corners of the eyes. Teacher Li Xuejian’s expression in Wandering Earth 2 is very subtle. This requires the actor to control his face very accurately, and there are stories in his drooping eyes. "


The scene of the confrontation between Ji Chang and Zhou Wang in the dungeon of "Feng Shen I" shows the actor’s control of emotions in addition to the details: "This kind of first suppression and then promotion is like a boxer’s punch. This stagnation increases the unpredictability of the whole scene, which is a process of accumulating strength and makes the outbreak of Ji Chang more impactful."



Similarly, in the way of restraining first and then promoting, there are also Chinese court plays that enhance the sense of performance strength. "I think this monologue can be used as an actor’s training material," Li Hong gave a very high evaluation. "The tone, intonation, logic and justice are angular. There is irony in his tone, and the character’s attitude towards justice appears."



In addition, Sun Yang is another actor who gives the audience a sense of strength by shaping the change of roles.


The former created many different characters in the past year, and successfully won the Golden Goblet Awards at the Shanghai International Film Festival with its subversive performance. At the end of the year, it successfully combined the comedy and ambivalence of Zhuang into one;



The latter became famous as a "pure love warrior" in the summer, and Sun Yang’s incisive performance also showed Li Hong the new possibilities of this young actor.



In Li Hong’s view, the audience’s re-recognition of good works and good actors is a positive signal: "The perspective of our overall concern is changing, which is the aesthetic change of the group. These daily temperament characters have become the male masters on the screen. They are closer to ordinary people and can shape the lives of ordinary people. "


The 1.6L Xuanyi luxury does not lose bba value and strength coexist.

Nowadays, consumers pay more and more attention to space when buying a car, which is worth mentioning in terms of space performance. So whether this car is a mule or a horse, let’s take a look at its actual performance.

Let’s look at the appearance of Sylphy first. The front of Sylphy looks very sporty, and it is very recognizable with the three-piece grille. Combined with the headlights, it looks quite clean and refreshing. The car is equipped with LED daytime running lights, automatic opening and closing, etc. Coming to the car side, the car body size is 4631 mm * 1760 mm * 1503 mm. The car adopts avant-garde lines, giving people a very atmospheric feeling. With large-sized thick-walled tires, smooth lines run through the whole car side. In the design of the rear end, the rear end looks avant-garde, the taillights look very beautiful, and with the hidden exhaust pipe, the overall layout is impressive.

Sitting in the car, the interior looks very fashionable and dynamic, and the overall recognition is very high. The three-spoke steering wheel of the car has a good overall shape, made of plastic and full of design sense. Take a look at the central control, with an 8-inch central control screen, which makes the interior design quite layered and concise. The interior feels good. Let’s take a look at the dashboard and seats. The dashboard of this car presents a personalized design style, giving people a very simple feeling. The car uses imitation leather seats, which are wide and thick and very comfortable to ride.

Sylphy is matched with CVT gearbox, with a maximum power of 90KW and a maximum torque of 155N.m, with good power performance.

The overall performance of Xuanyi trunk space is excellent, and the shape is regular, which is convenient for people to take their luggage. In addition, the car is equipped with anti-lock braking (ABS), LED daytime running lights, brake assist (EBA/BAS, etc.), braking force distribution (EBD), traction control (ASR/TCS, etc.), main driving airbag, co-pilot airbag, side airbag curtain, front side airbag and other safety configurations.

The moderate size of the car is a very suitable choice for many families, and the internal space is enough for daily use in families. If you go offline and actually experience it, it is estimated that there will be many new gains.

Tesla officially announced the price increase! The Model 3/Y long-life version is raised by 1,500 yuan and 2,500 yuan respectively.

  The news about Tesla’s price increase has finally come to a conclusion. This time, it’s not just Model Y.

  On November 9th, Tesla China official website updated, and raised the prices of the long-life versions of Model 3 and Model Y respectively. Among them, the new version of Model 3 Long Life Huan is raised by 1,500 yuan, and it will be sold at 297,400 yuan after adjustment; The Model Y long-life version rose by 2,500 yuan, and the adjusted price was 302,400 yuan.

Tesla officially announced the price increase! The Model 3/Y long-life version is raised by 1,500 yuan and 2,500 yuan respectively-driving.

  It is worth noting that just two weeks ago, on October 27, the price of Model Y high-performance version was just raised by 14,000 yuan. Some analysts said that the Model 3/Y rear-wheel drive version will also raise the price later.

  Since the emergence of self-renewal and evolution Model 3/Y, it has directly set off the domestic upsurge. At the scene in China International Import Expo(CIIE), the Tesla booth was packed with people and became a popular punching point. In particular, the exhibition of the new version of Model 3 Huan and the re-evolved Model Y, the simple and atmospheric face value, intelligent interactive experience and comfortable cockpit environment … have all been praised by the visiting media. Some netizens said: This also proves that good products have their own aura, which is the real top flow!

  The data can more intuitively reflect Tesla’s best-selling. On November 8, the sales data released by the Association showed that Tesla Giga Shanghai delivered more than 72,000 vehicles in October, of which Model 3 delivered about 25,000 vehicles, ranking first in luxury brand cars; Model Y delivered over 47,000 vehicles, ranking first in the sales list of pure electric vehicles. So far, the cumulative delivery of Tesla Super Shanghai Factory in 2023 has reached about 771,000 vehicles, exceeding the whole year of 2022, which is expected to create a new record for the annual delivery of domestic luxury car companies.

  With the arrival of the market boom, "demand exceeds supply" has become the normal state of Tesla. According to China official website, the pick-up cycle of Model Y has been extended to 2-8 weeks, and the pick-up cycle of Model 3 Huan is 2-9 weeks. Analysts said that based on the continuous supply of Shanghai Super Factory to many countries in Asia-Pacific and Europe, and the annual sales volume of several markets has been locked in advance, the possibility of further extension of the delivery cycle is not ruled out.

  Through information such as "price increase" and "tight delivery", it is not difficult to find that the supply is in short supply, which is the normal state of Tesla. As many car critics have analyzed, for consumers, "ordering as soon as possible" is the best choice.

  At present, users can also participate in limited-time referral rewards when ordering some Tesla models. Some netizens calculated that if they miss this wave, they will spend at least 5,000 yuan more next year.

  Before December 31st (inclusive), if the car buyer orders Model Y/S/X through a friend’s recommendation and picks up the car within the validity period of the order, he can get the final payment deduction of 1,750 yuan and the 90-day EAP free trial benefit. As a referrer, the owner can also get 7000 points, which can be exchanged for overcharged mileage, TeslaMic and other good things. Before December 1 (inclusive), car owners can also receive "superimposed benefits". Every time a friend is invited to the store to complete the test drive of any model, they can win 500 points, and they can get up to 3 times, and the user will recover 100 points from the fourth time.

  Tesla has pressed the "back slope" button of referral benefits all over the world. In November, Tesla also lowered the referral benefits in China market. At present, domestic consumers pay close attention to the next order, and they can also take Tesla away with the most affordable starting price and the most generous welfare package.

During this double festival, I walked into the Xiaopai dough sculpture museum in Qingcheng District, Qingyuan, and the Monkey King, Guan Gong and Lu Bu … the colorful dough sculptures were lifelike, which made people exclaim. In Qingyuan Cultural Center, Guan Gong, a vivid intangible cultural heritage of Fengcheng "Xiaopai dough sculpture", often attracts many visitors, and its inheritor is Xiao Zhanxing, who is over 60 years old. He is the fourth generation descendant of Xiao School’s dough figurines, known as "dough figurine Xiao". At the age of 6, he followed his grandfather Xiao Lao to learn. Although he is no longer young, Xiao Zhanxing is still full of energy. He spends a lot of time studying history books and Chinese and foreign picture books every day, and skillfully combines Chinese traditional color sculpture skills with modern sculpture skills to form a unique dough sculpture technique.

● Work hard and look at "opening up"

Xiao Zhanxing is best at making heroes in Romance of the Three Kingdoms and Water Margin. He can show the muscles, bones and hair of the characters incisively and vividly, which is amazing. Many of his ingenious techniques of making dough sculptures were explored in more than 50 years of creative practice. Experts from the Committee of Experts on the Protection of Intangible Cultural Heritage in Qingcheng District believe that Xiao Zhanxing’s works combine artistic essences such as sculpture, painting, Peking Opera, history and literature, which are both traditional and innovative.

Xiaopai dough figurines are mostly based on fairy tales, dramas and historical figures, with wheat flour as the main raw material. After being processed and colored, they are shaped into vivid artistic images by means of kneading, rubbing and kneading, and by means of expression such as inserting sticks, hanging lines and embossing. Chang ‘e in graceful attire, Guan Gong with glaring eyes, Red Rabbit with braying hooves and bloody veins, and Lu Bu, the god of war who is aggressive in valor, are all endowed with fresh vitality under Master Xiao’s hand, and the details of facial features, clothes and weapons are handled very exquisitely.

In the inheritance of China’s traditional craft sculpture, whether a work is vivid or not depends mainly on the characterization of the details of the characters’ heads, commonly known as "opening faces". Xiao Zhanxing accurately grasped the changes in the muscle structure of the characters’ faces, and exaggerated them according to his own understanding. His expression was just right, which made different characters present different inner worlds. Xiao Zhanxing’s dough sculpture works are deeply loved and collected by art connoisseurs at home and abroad, and a classic work often needs to wait for 4~6 months.

● Show and spread Chinese culture through live broadcast.

In 1988, Xiao Zhanxing came to work in splendid china Folk Culture Village by chance. "In the 1990s, many Hong Kong people were curious about dough figurines. I once made dough figurines for some celebrities." According to Xiao Zhanxing, you only need to master the techniques of "one seal, two kneading, three inlays and four rolling" if you are quick in dough modeling, but it is not easy to achieve both form and spirit. In the studio, Xiao Zhanxing wears glasses, from making a skeleton and shaping, and then kneading, rubbing, lifting the skin of a person with noodles, and then using a knife to point, cut, carve, delimit, shape a body, hands, head and face, and put on various colors of hair accessories and clothes, which moves like flowing water.

In order to better promote dough sculpture culture, Xiao Zhanxing set up a studio in Qingyuan in 2019. In addition to opening the door to teach students, he also taught and broadcast live on the short video platform. A desk, two skillful hands, and small dough are endowed with new life in the fingers, so that netizens all over the world can intuitively experience the fun of "kneading people". After a few minutes, the colorful dough will become vivid characters, and the charm and movements of the face are portrayed to the extreme. Tens of thousands of people watched the live broadcast at most. With the blessing of the new forces of the Internet, the ancient Chinese craftsmanship also shaped Xiao Zhanxing into the "online celebrity" in the dough-making industry.

● Let the minority’s intangible craftsmanship become popular.

After thousands of years’ development, dough sculpture has become a kind of material that can not be ignored in the study of historical archaeology, folklore, sculpture and aesthetics. Dough sculpture works not only have the style of traditional painting in China, but also have the simple flavor of folk art, and are deeply loved by people because of their low cost, long preservation time and high artistic appreciation.

At the end of September this year, seven projects, including Xiaopai dough sculpture, The Legend of Feixia and The Legend of Longtang, were approved to be included in the list of the ninth batch of district-level intangible cultural heritage representatives in Qingcheng District and announced to the public after being evaluated by the meeting of the expert committee on the protection of intangible cultural heritage in Qingcheng District. When everyone is curious about why Xiao School’s dough figurines have a unique aesthetic appeal, Xiao Zhanxing tells the secret: a figure dough figurine with both form and spirit must have a deep understanding of the historical background of the characters created, not only trying to figure out the prototype, referring to the surrounding literature, but also making the charm that he wants to express through skills and techniques.

In Qingyuan, the skill of Xiao School dough sculpture has been widely spread. In order to inherit the dough sculpture skills, Xiao Zhanxing has widely accepted his disciples. In the past ten years, his disciples have become the best in the dough sculpture industry, and won gold medals in international competitions many times, which has played a significant role in promoting the development of dough sculpture, food sculpture and other industries. The seal of Xiao School is molded on every surface, which may be the best interpretation of Xiao Zhanxing’s ingenuity. Xiao Zhanxing said: "As a kind of folk street culture and art, dough sculpture has become an international work of art through the unremitting efforts of generations of folk artists. Behind the dough sculpture culture is the inheritance of Chinese traditional culture, and it is also my emotion for dough sculpture culture. It is a responsibility and a glory to devote myself to the promotion of dough sculpture culture. "

Dongguan

Mud tires "wear" clothes

During the long vacation, many people went to the art exhibition to see the "little clay figurine"-for example, the provincial intangible project "Tea Mountain Silk Dress Lantern", and the clay figurine wearing silk and flowers was different and exquisite; Or a clay doll for ladies’ wear, holding a banquet under the palm-sized "osmanthus tree", which is so festive. The clay sculpture works created by a female artist in Dongguan bring different pleasure to tourists.

● Garlic skin skillfully makes lotus petals.

At the second exhibition of fine folk arts and crafts in Dongguan, the work "Eight Immortals Celebrating their Birthday" by Chashan Silk Dress Lantern was an eye-opener. This is specially created by Li Cuiwei, the representative inheritor of the intangible cultural heritage project "Chashan Silk Dress Lantern" in Guangdong Province, for the "Golden Week". Inspired by the custom of "praying for the Eight Immortals" in Dongguan’s old festivals: a colorful New Year picture with seasonal fruits, adults praying for health and beauty, and children waiting to share fruits … From Li Cuiwei’s childhood memory, "Eight Immortals" has intersected with Dongguan’s folk customs, rich life and other concepts.

Three months ago, it didn’t go well. Li Cuiwei encountered a problem when making the first character "He Xiangu". The "Lotus" held by the character couldn’t find a suitable material-clay sculpture was poor and clever, paper-cut was thin, and light clay was too "cartoon", so she couldn’t start at the moment. On Tanabata this year, Li Cuiwei visited Tanabata Tribute Table in Wangniudun Town, and was pleasantly surprised to find that local skillful women made flowers with garlic clothes, but the effect was confusing. When she came back, she did the same thing, peeling off a garlic, selecting a full garlic clove, tearing off the garlic coat with tweezers, and trimming it with scissors, so that there was a tender and bright "petal". Soon, a "lotus" slightly larger than the thumb cover was completed, but it was still a little plain. Li Cuiwei had a brainwave and took out her lipstick-that’s how the blush of "He Jian" came from.

Li Cuiwei said that the folklore of "Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea" has the meaning of "facing difficulties and going forward" and conveys the belief of pursuing beauty. She hopes to pass on this kind of "kindness" to every audience.

● I hope that the inheritors can "eat by craft"

During this long vacation, Li Cuiwei is basically not idle. She is making a group of tea mountain silk lantern works related to firefighters, and is ready to participate in the "Guangdong Fire Seal" cultural and creative works design competition. Chashan Silk Dressed Lantern is a small clay figurine dressed in satin, which originated in Chashan, Dongguan, and the earliest doll prototype can be traced back to Wen Tianxiang.

Li Cuiwei said that "keeping pace with the times" in the topic selection and "being inclusive" in the material selection have made the skills of Chashan Silk Dress Lantern immortal-for example, the "astronaut" she created last year, the helmet was cut with a 3D printed mask, and the process of wrapping beads and pasting metal beads was also used. However, in recent years, she has felt the pressure of inheritance more and more. Not long ago, a young man came here with great admiration, but he came back sadly, because he was told that "working as a silk lantern does not earn money". This makes Li Cuiwei somewhat sad. She said that she has a little savings and doesn’t need to make a living by craft, but young people have to solve their livelihood problems.

Chashan Silk Dress Lantern has not yet found a way to realize it. Due to the need of skills, each doll is hand-made (including kneading clay tires and cutting clothes), with small output and not much price advantage. However, Li Cuiwei is making adjustments in combination with the direction of "Chaowan": designing 12 zodiac dolls, adding personalized and DIY elements, and controlling the price within 100 yuan. She hopes that young people who inherit Chashan Silk Dress Lantern can "eat by craft" in the future.

Investigation on the withdrawal of more than 100 international papers: why are they all concentrated in the medical field?

  Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, April 26th: Investigation on the withdrawal of more than 100 international papers.

  Xinhua News Agency "Xinhua Viewpoint" reporters Jie Wenjin and Dong Ruifeng

  Recently, Tumor Biology, which was affiliated to springer Company, a famous international publisher, voiced its voice and revoked 107 papers of China scholars included in the magazine. To this end, "Xinhua Viewpoint" reporters conducted an investigation on the focus issues of public concern.

  Focus 1: Why are all 107 retracted manuscripts concentrated in the medical field?

  After the incident, many people expressed their incomprehension: Why are these 107 retracted manuscripts concentrated in the medical field?

  The relevant person in charge of Lilac Garden, an Internet communication platform for well-known medical professionals, told the reporter that all the papers involved were published in the American Journal of Tumor Biology, which belongs to the medical field and only publishes medical papers.

  According to the China Association for Science and Technology, among the natural science papers published every year in China, medical papers account for more than half, and the volume is huge, and the probability of irregularities is greater than that in other fields.

  Peter Butler, editor-in-chief of cell biology and biochemistry in springer, told the reporter that this large-scale retraction was the result of further manual investigation of the retraction events in 2015 and 2016 by springer Publishing Group, and it was not a newly discovered fraud event. At present, the publisher of Tumor Biology has been changed to SAGE. A senior editor of a medical SCI journal in China believes that "publishers of academic journals attach great importance to the reputation of their publications, and it is not uncommon to liquidate the problems left over before during the change of publishers".

  Focus 2: Is peer review fraud procedural fraud or academic fraud?

  It is reported that most of the withdrawn manuscripts escaped the review and monitoring through the way of "real review experts’ fake mailboxes". Some people suggest that this kind of peer review fraud is different from content fraud and belongs to procedural flaws.

  The head of the China Association for Science and Technology said in an interview that "peer review fraud" is an out-and-out "academic fraud". Peter Butler said, "The peer review process is one of the cornerstones to ensure the quality, integrity and repeatability of scientific research. This is an indispensable part of the scientific review process before the manuscript is received. "

  Wang Zixing, a psychiatrist at Capital Medical University, said that many academic journals involve multiple disciplines. In order to save the cost of running journals as much as possible, only a few editors may be arranged under a big major. The medical field is all-encompassing, and reviewers may not be familiar with all the fields involved in the manuscript. Therefore, the opinions of peer reviewers are an important reference for editors and also become a "safety valve" for academic quality of papers.

  Since the review process is so important, why does the publication allow the author to recommend himself as a "gatekeeper"? Is it easy to cause fraud? Wang Zixing said that the selection of reviewers was partly selected by publications through their own channels and partly by self-recommendation. This is because journal editors are not necessarily familiar with the research fields and experts of contributors, and it is difficult to select reviewers, so they hope to conduct expert evaluation by the way of self-recommendation. Peter Butler said that letting the authors recommend themselves to the judges is a "trust-based" way to alleviate the above problems. "If someone deliberately circumvents the system, they may succeed."

  However, in the face of the criticism that "if the editor makes one more verification call, he can see through the fraud", Peter Butler admits that "springer, as a publisher, has the responsibility to ensure that the publishing process goes as smoothly as possible and meets the ethical requirements, and at the same time, it has the responsibility to meet the new challenges with innovative tools. Therefore, springer will continue to invest in the development of more advanced systems for the authentication of reviewers to prevent similar situations from happening in the future. "

  Focus 3: Is the author an "accomplice" or a "lying gun" of a fake intermediary?

  Springer said: "It is not clear whether the author of the manuscript is aware of these institutions’ plans to impersonate reviewers.". According to the China Association for Science and Technology, there is no evidence that any contributor participated in the fraud.

  It is reported that it is common for international paper contributors to employ third-party companies to provide language polishing services, which is also allowed within a proper scope, mainly because some contributors are not good enough in foreign languages and are not familiar with the process.

  The reporter learned from the Lilac Garden that some of the 524 doctors involved in this exposure did not know. A surgeon in a famous 3A hospital in Beijing was very wronged when he saw that he was among the authors of the retracted papers. The doctor said that he did contribute to the research involved in this paper, but "I don’t know anything about the submission, let alone that it was submitted through a third-party intermediary". It is understood that apart from the first author and correspondent, some people with lower signatures often only participate in the minor part of the paper or belong to the same project team, and play a minor role in the publication of the paper, so they may not know that they are listed.

  However, an editor of a former medical SCI journal believes that when the pressure to publish a paper meets the impulse to make a profit, "some people indulge, at least pretend to be confused with understanding."

  A young doctor in a famous 3A hospital in Shanghai said that publishing papers has become the lifeblood of young doctors’ promotion at present, and "only holding a scalpel but not a pen is absolutely hopeless". Therefore, many peers choose to submit their papers through third-party organizations that promise to publish their papers successfully.

  Focus 4: How does the paper "black intermediary" collect money?

  According to the survey, the publication fee of a paper in an SCI international academic journal ranges from several thousand yuan to several hundred thousand yuan, and the intermediary can make huge profits from it.

  In September 2015, the Special Committee on Ethics and Rights of Science and Technology Workers of the Standing Committee of China Association for Science and Technology issued the "Five No’s Code of Conduct for Publishing Papers in International Academic Journals", which made it clear that "the third party" refers to any institution or individual except the author and the journal, and prohibited the third party from modifying the facts of the papers and writing on behalf of others in the name of providing "language services".

  Recently, the reporter searched on Taobao with the keyword "SCI paper publication" and found that a large number of merchants marked related businesses. The page of a merchant named "SCEI Paper Academic Service" shows that there are 20,000 fans. After clicking on the item marked with a monthly turnover of 23,821, the reporter consulted about the publication of the paper.

  The store said that it can write a paper on the subject of cardiology within six months to one year, and ensure that it is published in foreign SCI journals. The publication level is determined by the reporter, and the charging standard is determined by the influence of the journal. The price ranges from 38,000 yuan to 180,000 yuan, and the page fee of about 2,000 US dollars is also borne by the reporter. You need to pay a deposit of 10 thousand yuan first, and settle the balance after publication. The store also said, "All the experimental data in our paper are true and can show our strength."

  In a merchant named "Chinese-English Medical Home", the customer service claimed to be a doctor of medicine, and he was a front-line medical worker. The quotation was that the publication with an impact factor of more than five points was 50,000 yuan per minute, and the page fee was about 2,000 US dollars, and he clearly told which publication he could publish. For the price of a paper of 270 thousand yuan, the customer service said, "it’s all like this, it’s worth it, and it will pay off."

  Alibaba said that since 2017, the platform has intercepted 16 keywords such as "writing for papers" and "writing for periodicals" by actively controlling similar risky goods, but it has also been found that some merchants have released them through keyword variation, bypassing platform supervision.

  Focus 5: How to rebuild China’s reputation of academic integrity?

  Springer told reporters that "these revoked papers do not represent and reflect the overall quality and pioneering achievements of scientific research results published by China researchers." However, many people in the industry said that it is an indisputable fact that China’s reputation for scientific integrity has been damaged.

  According to the reporter’s understanding, after more than 100 international papers were withdrawn in 2015, the China Association for Science and Technology warned in the Investigation Report on the Withdrawal of BMC that the risk of large-scale withdrawal for the same reason might continue thereafter. This research report pointed out that most of the units involved in the retraction of the manuscript did not seriously carry out the investigation, and their understanding of the seriousness of the incident was not unified. The investigation work was not in-depth and the handling was light, and no corresponding measures were established based on this. Only a few units have imposed severe penalties on the authors involved, such as canceling their professional titles, positions and appraising their qualifications.

  Recently, the China Association for Science and Technology said that those who received funding from the National Natural Science Foundation of China must be recovered, and the fund cannot be declared again in the next five years. Other treatments should be made by the relevant author’s unit.

  Zhuo Hongyong, director of the Newspapers and Periodicals Division of the State Administration of Press, Publication, Radio, Film and Television, believes that the problems in the field of periodicals are the end, and the talent evaluation mechanism is often the source. Dr. Chen Yun, senior manager of clove garden content, believes that the derivation of the interest chain of paper fraud is precisely because the assessment of medical workers relies too much on the publication of papers.

  In July, 2016, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security issued "Opinions of Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security on Strengthening the Construction of Professional and Technical Personnel at the Grass-roots Level", suggesting that in the future, professional and technical personnel such as doctors at the grass-roots level will not have rigid requirements for papers and scientific research.

G7 announced that it would ban the import of Russian diamonds from next year, and Kegong responded.

  [Global Network Report] According to Reuters and other foreign media reports, the Group of Seven (G7) announced in a statement on the 6th that it would ban the direct import of Russian diamonds from January 1, 2024, and gradually restrict the import of Russian diamonds processed in third countries from March 1. Agence France-Presse said that the move was a measure to strengthen sanctions against Moscow. In response to this move, Kegong responded that sanctions against Russian diamonds have been discussed for a long time, so it is not news, and Russian diamond mining companies are trying to hedge risks.

  According to Agence France-Presse, before making the above decision, G7 leaders held a video conference with Ukrainian President Zelensky, who warned that the unity of western countries was facing collapse in his speech to G7 leaders.

  The report said that G7 said in its latest statement, "We will impose import restrictions on non-industrial diamonds mined, processed or produced in Russia from January 1, 2024," and "We will further impose import restrictions on Russian diamonds processed in third countries in stages, with the target date of March 1, 2024." The statement added that by the beginning of September, "a strong original diamond verification and certification mechanism based on traceability will be established within G7".

  Agence France-Presse said that the new restrictions are the latest move by the United States and Western countries to impose a series of sanctions on Russia. Previously, the targets of Western sanctions against Russia included financial institutions, technology imports and energy exports.

  According to the news of Sputnik news agency & radio and Interfax news agency on the 6th, in response to the latest move of G7, Kremlin spokesman and Russian Presidential Press Secretary peskov said that the new sanctions have been discussed for several months, and Russian diamond mining companies have realized all the risks they are facing and are naturally trying to hedge them.

  "Sanctions on diamonds are not news. And it has obviously been discussed in sufficient detail for several months. Therefore, our companies involved in this industry are well aware of the risks they face and are naturally trying to hedge these risks. Therefore, this is not news. " Peskov said.

  At the same time, Russian President Vladimir Putin made a lightning visit to the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia on the 6th, and held talks with the leaders of the two countries respectively to discuss issues such as oil policy, Russia-Ukraine conflict and Palestinian-Israeli conflict, which attracted the attention of the international media. The US CNBC website said that both Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates are important trading partners of Russia, and remain neutral in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict and refuse to adopt Western-led sanctions against Russia. In addition, since the outbreak of the Ukrainian crisis, the EU has implemented a package of economic sanctions, which has greatly reduced its exports to Russia. However, due to the anti-mite effect of EU sanctions against Russia, the supply situation in Europe is tense, the prices of energy and commodities have soared, and the import volume has increased significantly.

Chongqing’s "No.1 uncompleted residential building" is beset with lawsuits, and "at least 10 couples are divorced because of it"

The last "unfinished building" in the main city of Chongqing has become a heart disease for all parties. The Paper Xu Qiyong

        The unfinished building "Yingdan Building", which has stood for 14 years in the downtown area of Yubei District, Chongqing, has become an alternative landmark of the city.

        This first "unfinished building" in Chongqing is like a nail, which has been poked in Zheng Jing’s heart for four years: "Every time I pass by it, I can’t help but feel a burst of heartache."

        Zheng Jing is a shareholder of Chongqing Zhongxiong Construction Engineering Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Zhongxiong Company").

        Four years ago, Zhongxiong Company participated in a judicial auction and won Yingdan Building for 251,836.8 million yuan. Since then, Zheng Jing and Zhongxiong Company have been caught in a lawsuit "whirlpool" and have been claimed 150 million yuan.

        The Paper (www.thepaper.cn) learned in an interview that "Yingdan Mansion" is like a black hole. Some people go to jail because of it, some people spend all their money for it, some people become petitioners, others are separated because of it, and at least 10 couples get divorced because of it.

The builder was sentenced to 12 years in prison.

        Yingdan Building is located at the turntable of the new memorial archway in Yubei District, Chongqing, adjacent to the starting point of the airport expressway.

        According to public information, Yingdan Building covers an area of 8.36 mu, and is a front and rear conjoined building with 33 floors and 25 floors respectively. The main project of the building has been completed, but the external wall has yet to be decorated, and the door opening has been reserved. The internal pipe network, water and electricity, and elevators have not been installed.

        "Every year, buyers come here from time to time to see, and some even cry." On August 5th, the owner of a restaurant near Yingdan Building told The Paper that in the past 14 years, many people have been forced to shed tears by this "unfinished building".

        Through a rusty iron gate, it can be seen that the courtyard is already covered with weeds as tall as people, and the same rusty tower crane stands tall.

        Two security guards sat in the courtyard of the building, drinking tea and reading the newspaper. Knocking on the iron gate, The Paper tried to enter the compound, but they refused, and even taking pictures was prevented. Under the refraction of sunlight, the unfinished building cast a huge shadow on the sidewalk next to it.

        Yingdan Building is jointly built by Chongqing Yunhui Trading Co., Ltd. and Chongqing Yingdan Property (Group) Co., Ltd., and both parties agree that Yunhui Company will leave the land and Yingdan Company will contribute to the construction. Construction started in 1999, but stopped in November 2000 due to the break of Yingdan Company’s capital chain.

        Yingdan Company, which is in urgent need of funds, introduced the natural person Jingnong Ronglian in 2002. However, in the name of internal subscription, Jing sold the houses without pre-sale permits to 29 buyers at low prices, making a profit of 5.06 million yuan. Therefore, he was charged with contract fraud and sentenced to 12 years in prison, which became a sensational "internal subscription fraud case".

        In September, 2003, Yunhui sued Yingdan Company for canceling the contract for the joint construction of Yingdan Building. At the same time, Yingdan company began to fall into a lawsuit war with many creditors.

        Yingdan Company has been repeatedly defeated in this lawsuit, and has been applied by many creditors for debt repayment. In March 2009, Yingdan Building was sealed up by the People’s Court of Yubei District of Chongqing (hereinafter referred to as "Yubei District Court") as a whole and submitted to Chongqing Higher People’s Court (hereinafter referred to as "Chongqing High Court") for evaluation and auction.

        Entrusted by Chongqing High Court, on March 29th, 2010, Chongqing Bocheng, Chongqing Huaxia and Chongqing Jingfeng jointly issued a judicial auction announcement.

Auction book about Yingdan Building. The Paper Xu Qiyong

The winning company was claimed 150 million yuan.

        On March 29th, 2010, Zhongxiong Company, which is owned by Zheng Jing, saw the auction announcement of Yingdan Building.

        Zheng Jing said that at that time, the company was very optimistic about the location advantage of Yingdan Building-located in the prime location of Xinpaifang in Yubei District, Chongqing, adjacent to the starting point of Airport Expressway.

        On April 30, 2010, Chongqing Higher People’s Court opened the judicial auction of Yingdan Building, and set the valuation of 186 million yuan as the starting price.

        The auction was held in Chongqing United Assets and Equity Exchange, and electronic bidding was adopted.

        Zheng Jing recalled that the competition on the day of the auction was fierce. After 83 bidding contests, Zhongxiong Company and another buyer finally clinched a deal with 251,836.8 million yuan, and signed the Auction Confirmation Letter with the auction company on the same day.

        However, Zhongxiong Company subsequently discovered that the subject matter notified to the court by the local land and construction departments had a series of major flaws. "These flaws were not disclosed before the auction." Zhongxiong Company believes that due to the unauthorized increase of building floors, Yingdan Building has serious security risks, and it does not have the conditions for external auction without the appraisal of relevant quality appraisal departments. At the same time, there are a lot of property rights and debt disputes in this project, which leads to the actual possession and control of the building by some unidentified people.

        In view of this, Zhongxiong Company immediately stopped paying the bid price, and communicated and negotiated with the auction company many times.

        On May 24, 2010, three auction companies wrote to Chongqing High Court, asking the court to find that Zhongxiong Company was in breach of contract.

        Subsequently, Chongqing Yubei District Court made an enforcement award to revoke the auction results and re-auction Yingdan Building.

        In July 2010, Yingdan Building was auctioned again. This time, the building was bought by Chongqing Huaou Real Estate Co., Ltd. for 176,934.96 million yuan.

        What Zheng Jing didn’t expect was that the troubles of Zhongxiong Company began to follow. In the series of execution cases of Yingdan Building, Zhongxiong Company was added as the executor.

        In December 2010, Zhongxiong Company was ruled by Chongqing High Court and Yubei Court to bear the auction price difference of 74.9 million yuan.

        On October 20, 2011, Chongqing Higher People’s Court ruled that the property of Zhongxiong and its shareholders was 67.9 million yuan. Previously, the personal assets of Zhongxiong shareholders worth hundreds of millions had long been controlled by the court, and even the real estate and bank deposits under the name of shareholder Zheng Jing’s mother were not spared.

        On February 26th, 2014, Fang Yunhui Company, the former joint building of Yingdan Building, filed a complaint with Chongqing No.5 Intermediate People’s Court (hereinafter referred to as "Chongqing No.5 Intermediate People’s Court"), demanding that Zhongxiong Company and its two major shareholders jointly compensate for its losses of 54.1 million yuan on the grounds that its shareholders abused its independent status as a legal person and its shareholders’ limited liability harmed the interests of its creditors.

        Yun Hui believes that Zhongxiong Company and its shareholders deliberately broke the contract in the auction of Yingdan Building, resulting in its debt of nearly 50 million yuan to Yingdan Company still unpaid.

        On April 6, 2014, Yingdan Company sued Zhongxiong Company and its shareholders in Chongqing No.5 Intermediate People’s Court for the same reason, demanding that the court order Zhongxiong and its shareholders to jointly compensate for the losses of 94 million yuan.

        At present, the above two cases have been filed, and Zhongxiong Company has been claimed for nearly 150 million yuan. Hundreds of millions of personal property previously seized by shareholders of Zhongxiong Company was once again preserved by the litigation property of Chongqing No.5 Intermediate People’s Court; The Chongqing Higher People’s Court has not lifted the measures taken by shareholders of Zhongxiong Company to restrict high consumption and exit.

Legal experts "bar" to court 

        In view of the series of rulings of relevant courts, Zhongxiong Company and its shareholders have made judicial relief in order to get out of the dilemma of being attacked by both sides.

        The Paper learned that Zhongxiong Company first questioned whether the auction of Yingdan Building was effective.

        In 2011, Zhongxiong Company sued Chongqing Bocheng, Chongqing Huaxia and Chongqing Jingfeng auction companies, arguing that Yingdan Building had serious hidden dangers in building safety and quality, and could not be actually delivered, so it could not be used as the auction target. According to the relevant regulations, the "Auction Confirmation Letter" signed by Zhongxiong Company and three auction companies should be deemed invalid.

        In this regard, the Chongqing No.1 Intermediate People’s Court made a civil ruling on December 1, 2011, dismissing Zhongxiong’s lawsuit against three auction companies, on the grounds that Zhongxiong’s objection to the validity of the Confirmation of Auction Closing was not within the scope of the court’s civil litigation.

        On March 20, 2012, Chongqing Higher People’s Court rejected Zhongxiong’s appeal for the same reason and upheld the ruling of Chongqing No.1 Intermediate People’s Court.

        However, in the face of a series of rulings that were added as the executors of Yingdan Building case, Zhongxiong and shareholders repeatedly filed execution objections and reconsideration applications with Chongqing High Court and Yubei District Court, all of which were rejected. They applied to the Supreme People’s Court for reconsideration within the statutory time limit, and so far there is no result.

        According to the statistics of Zhongxiong Company, only in 2012, the company and its shareholders filed an application for execution objection and reconsideration with the courts at all levels, totaling 8 times, and none of them succeeded.

        Recently, five senior law professors from Southwest University of Political Science and Law, including Liu Jun, Zhao Wanyi, Liu Yunsheng, Sun Peng and Li Zujun, jointly issued a legal advisory opinion.

        According to the opinion, Yingdan Building has serious quality and safety problems and serious violations of the law, which is prohibited by law. The judicial auction of Yingdan Building by Chongqing High Court is invalid, and Zhongxiong Company does not have to bear the liability for breach of contract for the auction price difference.

        "It is a serious violation of the law for the court to directly judge and confirm the responsibility of Zhongxiong and shareholders in the execution procedure without trial and cross-examination." The submission said.

When Yingdan Building will be started is still a mystery..The Paper Xu Qiyong

At least 10 couples divorced.

        According to the "Recommended Information of Yingdan Building Project" issued by official website of Chongqing United Assets and Equity Exchange on April 8, 2010, there are 1,205 creditors of the subject matter, involving the principal amount of equity of 303 million yuan, including 1,123 buyers, involving a housing area of more than 120,000 square meters, involving an amount of 173 million yuan; There are 82 claims, involving an amount of about 130 million yuan.

        Zheng Jingyuan’s quiet life has been broken since he got his hands on Yingdan Building. Because of the restrictions on high consumption and going abroad, high consumer goods can’t be bought, and the business that needs to be discussed abroad can’t be discussed, and it is caught in the whirlpool of litigation, and the cause has also been greatly affected.

        It is far more than Zhongxiong Company and its shareholders that have been hit hard. According to Fu Hui, a full-time lawyer of Zhongxiong Company, in the shadow of this huge debt, countless creditors have become "bitter owners", who have been seeking to pay off their debts for more than ten years.

        Wang Qiulin is the representative of this group of "victims". She told The Paper that in 2006, she borrowed more than 600,000 yuan to buy three apartments in Yingdan Building. In the signed contract, it was agreed to hand over the house in the second year, and the result was far away.

        "The money was originally borrowed from friends and relatives at a monthly interest rate of 1 point." Wang Qiulin said that in recent years, the family was overwhelmed by creditors. In 2010, her husband chose to divorce her because he couldn’t stand the days when creditors came to ask for money every day.

        The same thing happened to Lin Jiahua, a house buyer. Before buying a house, Lin had a one-bedroom apartment in Jiangbei District. In 2007, I bought Yingdan Building through a friend’s introduction, and cobbled together nearly 200,000 yuan to Yingdan Company.

        After the "rotten tail" of Yingdan Building, Lin Jiahua not only had to endure the pain of being forced by creditors every day, but also was called "the black sheep" by her husband. At the end of last year, her husband divorced her. In order to pay off her debts, she had to sell the only one-bedroom apartment and rent a house outside.

        Lin Jiahua said that after the "unfinished" Yingdan Building, many families divorced because they could not repay their debts. Of the 30 buyers she knows, at least 10 have chosen to divorce because they can’t stand the days when creditors force their debts. This statement was confirmed by many buyers.

        After Yingdan Building was "unfinished", Wang Qiulin and 30 other buyers took Yingdan Company, the developer, to court and won the case, but the creditor’s rights are still difficult to pay off.

        According to the investigation in The Paper, Yingdan Company was on the verge of bankruptcy and liquidation, and there was no property to execute.

        Wang Qiulin and others meet at Chongqing High Court and Yubei District Court every month to discuss their views. When he couldn’t make a statement, he turned to the Chongqing municipal government for help, during which he had a conflict with the police.

        A "Report on Monitoring the Real Estate Market in the First Quarter of 2012" issued by the Land and Housing Ownership Registration Center in Yubei District said that Chongqing Stability Office and Yubei District Stability Office organized planning, construction committee, land, housing management, courts and other relevant departments to conduct special studies on the above issues of Yingdan Building.

        In 2013, Zhejiang Huakun Company took over Yingdan Building. A staff member revealed that the company had completed the relevant procedures of Yingdan Building at the end of last year, and all the warrants were completed. The staff member said that at present, there are different opinions on the aftermath of Yingdan Building within Huakun Company: "Whether it is refined decoration or clean water room sales, everyone has not reached an agreement." Therefore, there is no specific plan for when the building will be restarted.

        The Paper obtained a letter from the Chongqing Yubei District Construction Committee to the Yubei District Court, saying: Yubei District is the north gate of Chongqing and the best livable area in the city. Yingdan Building, as an unfinished building, will seriously affect and damage the image of the city.
