SPring, a large synchrotron radiation source in Japan

First, the third generation synchrotron radiation light source with the highest energy in the world


SPring-8, a large-scale synchrotron radiation facility in Japan, is located in Harima Science Garden City, Hyogo) in Hyogo Prefecture, the center of the Japanese archipelago. It is the third generation synchrotron radiation source with the highest energy in the world. Its English name is Spring-8, which means "8GeV Super Photon Ring", that is, the output power is 8 GeV.


In 1991, under the leadership of MEXT (Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology), Jaeri (Japan Atomic Energy Research Institute) and Riken (the Institute of Physical and Chemical Research) of Japan began to jointly build SPring-8. The construction cost of the first phase is about 110 billion yen, and the land is donated by Hyogo Prefecture for free. With the joint support of the county government, the county university, various research institutes and commercial enterprises, the project was completed in 1997, and the facilities were opened, which were managed by JASRI (Japan Synchrotron Radiation Research Institute), including the operation, maintenance, transformation, user service and scientific research and development of light sources. JASRI is the only statutory management organization of SPring-8, which is private and non-profit, and employs more than 1,000 employees, 80% of whom are researchers and technicians. From October 1997 to 2010, SPring-8 has built 55 beam line stations.It has served more than 100,000 people in science, industry and business circles in Japan and the world.


Spring-8 in Japan, advanced photon source APS (Argone) in Argonne National Laboratory of the United States and European synchrotron radiation facility ESRF (Grenoble) in Grenoble, France are the three largest high-energy synchrotron radiation facilities in the world.

Third, structural exploration


The accelerator of SPring-8 mainly consists of four parts: 


* injector, Linac, 1GeV;; 


* Booster, 8 GeV;


* large Storage Ring, storage ring, 8GeV, used for high brightness X-ray; 


* Small storage ring, NewSUBARU, 1.5GeV, used for medium short pulse soft X-ray.



  1. Injector (Linac) 


The linear accelerator section is equipped with 26 3-meter-long accelerating units to accelerate the electron beam energy to 1GeV. The red part in the picture below is a quadrupole magnet used to focus the electron beam.  



Linear accelerator unit 1 


The electron beam is generated by a thermionic gun impregnated with barium and tungsten. The ion gun is located on the high-voltage board with a voltage of about 180KV. The pulse duration is 1ns or 40ns. The selected beam is focused on a buncher and accelerated to 1GeV energy with 25 accelerating cavities. Electron beam energy dispersion is reduced by energy compressor system (ECS). Then, the linear accelerator as the injector transports the electron beam to the intensifier or the NewSUBARU small storage ring. 


Some parameters of linear accelerator:



2. Booster Synchrotron


Annular, with a circumference of 396 meters. The 1GeV electron beam output from the linear accelerator will be accelerated to 8GeV in the intensifier. The blue image below shows the deflection magnet, which is used to generate synchronous radiation light; The yellow part is a six-stage magnet for stabilizing the electron beam.


Inside the synchrotron tunnel Branch point of the synchrotron (left) and SSBT (right)


Intensifier tunnel intensifier branch point (left) electron beam transport line SSBT (right) 


In FODO, the magnetic focusing structure of the intensifier, bending magnets and quadrupole magnets are alternately arranged, and the repetition frequency of injection, acceleration and output is set to 1Hz, and the harmonic number is 672. If a single beam is injected into the storage ring, an RF elimination system is installed to eliminate other electron beams adjacent to the main beam. The special timing system injects different beams according to the types of light required by each outlet station of the storage ring. 


Some parameters of the enhancer:



3. The large Storage Ring (storage ring)



The electron beam is injected into the storage ring from the transport line SSBT (left).


Huge ring with a circumference of 1436 meters. Its conventional unit consists of 2 deflection magnets, 10 four-stage magnets and 7 six-stage magnets, and its length is about 30 meters. The linear joints are located between conventional units, and are used to install plug-ins, RF accelerating cavities, beam injection systems, beam diagnosis systems, etc., with a total of 44 linear joints. 


Some parameters of large storage ring:




The large storage ring can store 8GeV electron beams for a long time, more than 100 hours. The energy consumed by synchrotron radiation is replenished by accelerating equipment installed in four radio stations around the storage ring. The constant current (top-up) injection mode effectively ensures the constant beam current intensity in the storage ring. 


Link: The 86th academic seminar of the Oriental Science and Technology Forum was held on December 7-8, 2006, with the topic of "beam orbit stability of the third generation synchrotron radiation light source". 


Dr Kouichi Soutome from Japan synchrotron radiation research institute (JASRI) gave a special report on "constant current injection and beam orbit stability of SPring-8". He first emphasized the necessity of providing users with a stable X-ray beam for precision experiments. In order to stabilize the beam position, it is necessary to restrain the beam trajectory change. He pointed out that the top-up injection mode with constant beam intensity in the storage ring can effectively ensure the stability of the synchrotron radiation light intensity. For this reason, SPring-8 has made great efforts to study the sources of various factors that cause orbit change, such as the change of magnet power supply and the vibration of vacuum chamber caused by cooling water.


SPring-8 also improves the beam trajectory correction system and the corresponding measurement system. For top-up implantation, SPing-8 adopts many measures, such as reducing the vibration of stored electron beam caused by implantation, reducing the loss of implanted electron beam, and maintaining long-term high-purity single beam implantation. Finally, he reported the stability of SPring-8 in beam orbit and the performance of top-up injection operation mode. The total current stability in SPring-8 storage ring is controlled within 0.1%, and the current intensity inconsistency of each beam is also controlled within 10%. 


4. NewSUBARU



  NewSUBARU storage ring 


NewSUBARU, a small storage ring with 1.5GeV, is mainly used to study the application of soft X-ray in industrial field. Built in 1998, Lasti (Laboratory of Advanced Science and Technology for Industry) of Hyogo University is responsible for its operation. 


The circumference of the small storage ring is about 119 meters, and it consists of two 14-meter and four 2.6-meter straight-line sections. In the long straight section, an 11-meter-long undulator and an optical klystron free electron laser device are installed. The electron beam of 1GeV in the linear accelerator can be directly injected into the storage ring.



  11-meter-long undulator


Some parameters of small storage ring:




Four, beam line and experimental station


SPring-8 has 22 beam lines led by deflection magnets, and up to 24 can be built. There are 26 beam lines led out by the insert, up to 34 can be built, and the length of the straight line section is 4.5 meters; There is one beam line led by the long insert, and at most four beams can be built, and the length of the long straight line section is 25m. These beam lines are generally designed within 80 meters, but 9 can extend to 300 meters and 3 can extend to 1 kilometer.

V. Major scientific research achievements


1. Uncover the secret of the mysterious structure and movement mode of water molecules.


Water is a familiar substance, and the structure of water molecule H2O is well known. But perhaps people haven’t thought deeply: where does ice store huge cooling energy? Why is the density of water the highest at 4oC? But above or below 4oC, the water density decreases? Why is the density of solid ice less than liquid water?


Japanese scientists analyzed the structure of water and ice in SPring-8, and some new discoveries solved the long-debated problem about the nature of water. They successfully conducted Compton scattering experiment by using high-energy inelastic scattering beam line BL08W, directly observed the structure and function of ice at high resolution, and verified the accuracy of molecular dynamics simulation. This basic research result can help to develop thermal storage materials and analyze the thermal storage of new materials in the future. The paper was published in the top American science journals.


In fact, as early as 2008, scientists from RIKEN Institute of Physics and Chemistry in Japan proposed two water states with different hydrogen bonding modes by using BL17SU beam line and soft X-ray spectrum of SPring-8, as well as small angle scattering and Raman scattering.

2. Develop general-purpose plastic materials as strong as iron.


Plastic products such as plastic bags and plastic buckets have become widely used and indispensable items in our daily life because they are light, waterproof and cheap. But at the same time, it also has some disadvantages: low tensile strength, easy deformation and not high temperature resistance. They are synthesized from polymers such as polyethylene and polypropylene, and their structures at the molecular level are composed of long chains of carbon atoms. This "string" structure of polymer makes plastic products as soft as biomaterials. However, scientists have found that the tensile strength of materials will increase with the increase of polymer chain length; When carbon chains have tensile strength similar to covalent bonds of carbon atoms in diamonds, general plastics will harden, but they will not have diamond-like strength.


Distinguished professor Hikosaka of The Graduate School of Integrated Arts and Sciences (Hiroshima University) focuses on the study of polymer long chains and their structural and characteristic changes. He examined the blending phase structure of polyethylene long chain and its influence on properties by X-ray diffraction and other methods. The growth mechanism, sliding and diffusion effect mechanism of ideal polymer crystals are formulated. In 1987, the "sliding diffusion theory of polymer crystallization" was put forward.


The research team led by Professor Iwasaka and his doctoral student Kiyoka Okada, who used BL40B2 beam line in 2003-2007, observed the process of nuclear nucleation. ) From 2007 to 2010, using the X-ray scattering device of SPring-8, a new polypropylene-based plastic with strong tensile force and super heat resistance was successfully developed for the first time: NOCs(nano-oriented crystals).


The reason why ordinary plastics have poor tensile strength is because of low crystallinity. High-quality plastics are those with crystallinity of about 50%. In other words, the higher the crystallinity, the stronger the intermolecular interaction, and the stronger the tensile strength and heat resistance. When polymer molecules are regularly arranged, crystals form. Therefore, in order to improve the crystallinity, it is necessary to arrange the polymer molecules regularly as much as possible.



Professor Masamichi Hikosaka, Dr. Kiyoka Okada, holds a new type of polypropylene.


The research team led by Professor Iwasaka found a method to make polymers regularly arranged when plastics are in molten state, and proved that the crystallinity of the method is 92%. Because the structure of NOCsS looks like a real armor, it is composed of small pieces of iron plates, so the model is called "real armor" model. The tensile strength of the new polypropylene is about seven times higher than that of the ordinary plastic material, the heat-resistant temperature reaches 170°C or higher than 176°C, the light transmittance is 99%, and it is recyclable and cheap, because only one process is needed in the traditional polypropylene production process.


This wonderful new plastic material is most likely to be used in the transformation of steel body in traditional automobile industry. Although the thickness of the body will be doubled, its weight is only a quarter of that of steel.


3. Analyze the change of dynamic structure of calcium pump.


A variety of ions participate in the biological activity of organisms. Calcium 2+ ion promotes muscle movement and is one of the most important ions in organisms. It is stored in the endoplasmic reticulum of myofibrils. When calcium ions are released into muscle cells, muscles contract. At the same time, calcium ions need to return to the endoplasmic reticulum to relax the muscles. A membrane protein called calcium pump is responsible for pumping back calcium 2+ ions.


Pumping back calcium ions involves two processes: obtaining and releasing, and the structure of calcium pump changes accordingly. Chikashi Toyoshima (Institute of Molecular and Cellular Biosciences of the University of Tokyo) first discovered this structural change and analyzed the calcium pump structure in nine states.


His research results were published in the British journal Nature in 2000, 2002 and 2004. In view of this series of outstanding achievements, Professor Toyoda was awarded the Asahi Prize in 2009.

4. Discovery of new magnetic materials on meteorites


Every year, thousands of tons of meteorites fall to the earth. Although their surfaces are burnt black, their internal metal and mineral components remain unchanged, so they are called "fossils" in space. It provides powerful evidence for human beings to understand the mysteries of the solar system.


Masato Kotsugi, JASRI) of Japan Synchrotron Radiation Research Institute used the Photoelectron Emission Microscope (PEEM) on BL25SU beam line of SPring-8 to analyze the structure of iron meteorites. Iron meteorite is composed of α phase rich in iron and γ phase rich in nickel. Dr. Xiao Shan confirmed that there is a nano-scale mineral layer at the interface between iron and nickel, which is called Tetrataenite. However, it does not exist on the earth and will become an excellent new magnetic material. Dr. Xiao Shan further analyzed the characteristics of Tetrataenite, which is composed of 50% iron and 50% nickel, and the iron and nickel atoms are alternately arranged, which is a regular periodic crystal structure. It produces a kind of hard magnetism, that is, the magnetization direction will not change easily. Famous hard magnetic materials include permanent magnets and materials used in engines of hybrid vehicles.



Another important discovery of Dr. Xiao Shan: Tetrataenite will be a potential substitute in hard disk manufacturing. Platinum is an indispensable material for the next generation hard disk, but it is a rare metal, and its price is rising. At present, the demand for platinum has exceeded its production capacity. About 2 tons of platinum is used in global hard disk production every year. If Tetrataenite synthesized by iron and nickel can be used as hard disk material, the consumption of platinum will be greatly reduced, thus promoting resource conservation and low-cost production of hard disks.


Chiharu Mitsumata (Toho Kyu University) of Tohoku University in Japan is carrying out basic research on the synthesis of Tetrataenite.


As a result, Dr. Koyama and Professor Sanyan won the second place in Dubose-Crouse Award (international metallic graphic contest) in 2010.

 5. Successfully developed all-solid-state safety battery by nanotechnology.


Professor Hiroshi Kitagawa (Kyoto University) of Kyoto University and Dr Rie Makiura (Kyushu University) of Kyushu University have studied nano-scale silver iodide (AgI) particles. They proved for the first time in the world that it is possible to realize stable solid electrolyte at room temperature. This research achievement is highly valued because of its great development potential. The paper was published in the British scientific journal Nature Materials in May 2009.



6. the three-dimensional structures of Rab27B and Slac2-a are analyzed.


In 2004, Dr. Mitsunori Fukuda (Tohoku University) of the Graduate School of Life Sciences of Northeastern University clarified the transmission mechanism of melanin in melanocytes at the molecular level. In 2008, in cooperation with Shigeyuki Yokoyama of RIKEN Institute of Physical Chemistry, he successfully analyzed the three-dimensional structures of Rab27B and Slac2-a in BL41XU Experimental Station of Structural Biology on SPring-8. Their structural data will greatly promote the research and development of new skin whitening products and drugs to prevent white hair.


7. The new chewing gum Pos-Ca can effectively prevent tooth decay.


Dr. Tomoko Tanaka (the Health Science Laboratory of Ezaki Glico Co., Ltd.) found that calcium phosphate oligosaccharide supported the remineralization of teeth, which promoted the appearance of new chewing gum with calcium phosphate oligosaccharide (Pos-Ca).

8. Research and development of new drugs against influenza virus


Influenza virus consists of eight RNA genes, and there are two types of spike proteins on the surface of virus particles: hemagglutinin (HA) and neuraminidase (NA). Because of its simple structure, the virus cannot replicate itself. However, they can be skillfully replicated by using the replication system of human cells after invading human host cells.


HA, like a key, can invade the human body after combining with glycoprotein on the cell surface. NA plays an important role in the separation and release of progeny virus from cells, and is an enzyme that helps the virus infect other bacteria. The amino acids that make up the above two proteins are prone to mutation. So far, scientists have discovered 16 kinds of HA and 9 kinds of NA proteins. These protein are arbitrarily combined into various types of influenza viruses (H1N1–H16N9). For example, influenza A H1N1, which was prevalent in 2009, and H5N1 virus, avian influenza, which became prevalent in 1997.


Influenza virus encodes 10 kinds of proteins, among which RNA polymerase is very important in virus gene replication. It includes three subunits: PA, PB1 and PB2. When one of them is lacking, RNA polymerase loses its enzyme function and the virus cannot replicate. Therefore, if we can determine the three-dimensional structure of these three subunits, we can block the function of RNA polymerase.


In July 2008, Dr. Sam-Sam (Graduate School of Nanobioscience, yokohama city university) successfully analyzed the combined structure of PA and PB1, and analyzed the enzyme structure related to virus replication, which will accelerate the research and development of new antiviral drugs. It is not far away to realize the wish that people don’t have to worry about the flu in winter.

9. Reveal the secret of solar system formation by analyzing comet dust.


The American Stardust Project, 1999-2007) collected scattered dust samples of comet Wilder II (81P/Wild) and brought them back to Earth. It is expected that by analyzing these samples, information about the origin of comets and the entire solar system 4.6 billion years ago can be obtained.


Dr. Tomoki Nakamura (Kyushu University) of Kyushu University has conducted in-depth research on comet dust. He used the X-ray diffraction experimental device of BL37XU on SPring-8 and the synchrotron radiation facility of KEK to analyze and determine the crystal types and abundance ratio of dust. After that, Professor Akira Tsuchiyama (Osaka University) used the CT scan of BL47XU to visualize the internal structure of comet dust.


Dr. Nakamura found that "meteorite chondrules" originated from comet dust outside the solar system, so they can no longer be explained by the traditional model of solar system formation. "Meteorite chondrules" are the main components of ancient meteorites, rich in magnesium, silicon and a small amount of iron. The doctor believes that the migration of "globules" occurred in the primitive solar system composed of dust disks; However, he said that the analysis accuracy of at least 20 samples will be improved to obtain statistically significant conclusions. He will also continue to carry out comet meteorite dating and determine the migration time. It is expected that a new solar system formation model will be established soon.


10. Nanotechnology promotes the innovation of "new materials"


The shape characteristics of fullerenes discovered in 1985-containing 60 carbon atoms, like a football-have aroused widespread concern in the scientific community. In 1991, columnar carbon nanotubes were discovered. In January, 2008, Associate Professor Kitura & Hisa Nori Shinohara (Nagoya University) of Nagoya University successfully synthesized a nano-scale metal wire.

Carbon allotropes: diamonds and graphite, fullerenes and carbon nanotubes.


Pure gold is prone to oxidation reaction, but a very thin nanowire can exist stably in the air because nano-scale materials have a unique stable structure. In order to observe the internal structure of nanotubes, Associate Professor Bei Puliang conducted solid soft X-ray spectroscopy experiments at BL25SU experimental station in Spring–8. He observed that the absorption of Er by X-rays was unique, thus confirming that ErCl3 line was formed in carbon nanotubes.

Professor Tian Zhuo (University of Tokyo/RIKEN) of Tokyo University and Institute of Physical Chemistry is regarded as the most imaginative and productive polymer chemist in the world. In recent years, he took SPring-8 as an important research tool, and first successfully determined the structure of a new type of conductive graphite nanotubes. Then, he showed with solid evidence that the hydrophilicity and hydrophobicity of graphite molecules were closely connected in hydrophobic groups, forming tubular spiral molecular pairs. In addition, he also successfully designed a liquid crystal phase with short intermolecular programs. Both research results were published in the Journal American Chemical Society in 2008. In 2009, the design of "bicontinuous cubic liquid crystal materials in discoid molecules" was published on the cover of the magazine of American Chemical Society, and he also won the Polymer Chemistry Award of American Chemical Society.

11. Develop earthquake observation technology.


With the joint efforts of Tokyo Institute of Technology, Japan Agency of Marine-Earth Science and Technology and Japan Synchrotron Radiation Research Center (JASRI), it is found that the deepest part of the earth’s core is made of iron with hexagonal close-packed structure. The state of metallic iron under ultra-high pressure and ultra-high temperature conditions is similar to the state of the earth’s core simulated by ultra-high pressure and ultra-high temperature. Scientists used SPring-8 high-brightness X-ray to observe the changes of single crystal structure of metallic iron, and found for the first time that the hexagonal close-packed structure was stable under extreme conditions of high temperature and high pressure. The analysis of the crystal structure is helpful to the analysis of earthquake observation and greatly strengthens people’s understanding of the formation and development of the core. This achievement was published in the American journal Science on October 15th, 2010.


12. Analyze the gel mechanism of self-assembly from the molecular level.


Recently, a joint research group of The University of Kitakyushu and JARSI announced that the molecular structure of the solvent in the gel state was analyzed on the BL03XU Advanced Soft Materials and BL40B2 Structural Biology II Experimental Station by using SPring-8 high-brightness synchrotron radiation. The research results benefit from organogelator (low molecular weight compound). As long as 1% solvent is added to it, the whole solvent will gel, which will greatly help to prevent environmental pollution caused by offshore oil spill. The paper was published online in the October 2010 issue of Polymer Journal.


Sixth, look forward to the future


The resolution of traditional optical microscope is limited by the wavelength of light, while the wavelength of X-ray is 10,000 times shorter than that of visible light, and the resolution reaches the atomic level, which means that the three-dimensional structure of a single atom in matter can be observed. X-ray is widely used in medical treatment, life science and material science. However, the light generated by X-ray light sources (including synchrotron radiation) is not uniform and the wave fields are inconsistent. Laser can produce uniform light by using a pair of mirrors. This urges scientists to make every effort to explore a new technology to realize a mirrorless laser, that is, XFEL: X-ray Free Electron Laser (XFEL). XFEL is an X-ray that combines the characteristics of free-electron laser. It is called the most promising new light source in the future with the most scientific exploration and discovery value. It is also called "dream light source" and "new dawn of the scientific era". It has the dual characteristics of laser and radiation light, and can work in the whole X-ray band. It is much better than the third generation synchrotron radiation light source in brightness, coherence and time structure, and is internationally recognized as one of the feasible technical routes of the "fourth generation light source".



The United States, Europe and Japan have successively developed XFEL, and raised it to the height of national strategy to deploy and implement it. LCLS(Linac Coherent Light Source, Stanford Linear Accelerator Center, USA), the first X-ray free electron laser device in the world, came out in 2009. The European Free Electron Laser Facility (European XFEL) is jointly participated by DESY of Germany and 11 other European countries. The core project is a 3.4-kilometer underground tunnel, which was officially started on July 1, 2010. It is expected to be completed in 2014 and the first scientific experiment will be conducted in 2015.



SPring-8 has already started the prefabrication and research of XFEL, and the accelerator prototype has successfully produced the first laser beam. In 2006, the XFEL project started. At present, the 700-meter-long 8GeV X-ray free electron laser device is under final construction and is expected to be put into operation in fiscal year 2011. exist

2.XFEL facilities


SPring-8′ s X-rays can produce light 10 billion times brighter than the sun, while XFEL produces light 1 billion times brighter than SPring-8, and the pulse is 1000 times shorter than the existing X-ray source. The higher brightness light source enables scientists to observe the three-dimensional structure of atoms and their ultra-fast motion more realistically.


Design parameters:


Electron beam energy: 8 GeV


Electron beam diameter: 40 um


X-ray wavelength: > 0.06 nm


X-ray peak power: 5 GW


X-ray pulse length: < 100fsec


X-ray peak brightness: 1033 photons/s/mm2/mrad2/0.1% b.w. 。


The original quality of electron beam determines the quality of free electron laser. Scientists have specially designed an ultra-high voltage thermal electron gun, which uses a single-crystal cerium-hexabromoboride cathode (CEB 6) to emit a fine, highly collimated and stable electron beam. Then, it is transported into the electron beam compression system, and the peak current will be strengthened to several thousand amperes.


The electron beam energy is rapidly increased to 8GeV by a C-band linear accelerator, and then transported into a vacuum undulator to generate intense XFEL radiation.

C-band linear accelerator was developed by SPring-8 and KEK. C-band acceleration gradient (35MeV/m) greatly shortens the length of the accelerator. The total length was originally an accelerator structure with a precision of 1282mia and micron, and it was finally installed in a tunnel with a length of 400m.

3. Create new technologies


Coherent X-ray imaging technology: Microscopic images of various materials at atomic level can be obtained.



Imaging process: X-ray laser → sample → coherent scattering mode → phase recovery → clear structure image.


XFEL’s ultrashort pulse can detect the ultrafast motion of matter in femtosecond.



Protein Structure Analysis: The analysis of new materials will surely lead to the birth of new functional products in biology and medicine.


Living cell biology: Real-time data acquisition will open a new way for the study of living cells.


Nanotechnology: Ultra-short wave XFEL will help to create new functional materials.


With XFEL, scientists can observe extreme phenomena in astronomy, plasma science and basic physics.


The Institute for Molecular Science, Niigata University, Nagoya University and JASRI/RIKEN of the National Research Institute of Japan jointly studied the intense ultraviolet free electron laser irradiated to argon atoms, and successfully analyzed the specific process of multi-electron emission.


In order to accurately measure the fluctuation in free electron laser, scientists analyzed all the electronic energy of argon atom irradiated by laser pulse at the speed of 20 pulses per second. They found that the absorption of electrons and multiphotons only occurs when the light intensity is very high, and clarified the importance of resonance state in multiphoton absorption. The research results show that the research of nano-science, nano-technology and material preparation can be promoted by using X-free electron laser on the basis of selecting appropriate laser wavelength and corresponding resonance conditions. The paper was published in american physical society’s scientific journal Physical Review Express on September 24th, 2010.

Revealing the Happy Life of "Tang Priest" Zhongrui Chi and the richest woman in China


  Zhongrui Chi and Chen Lihua, the president of Fuhua Group, who is a teenager older than him. (data picture)


  Beijing Youth Weekly reported on May 7. Becoming famous because of "Tang Priest", being controversial because of marriage, and being calm because of Buddhism-


  Born into a family of Peking Opera, he was deeply influenced by art since childhood and naturally embarked on the road of performing arts.


  Passing Yang Jie, the director of The Journey to the West, made him become attached to Tang Priest, and successfully shaped the role of Tang Priest in The Journey to the West, becoming the last Tang Priest to "get the true scriptures";


  His marriage with Ms. Chen Lihua, who is ten years older than him, has caused a lot of controversy, and he laughed it off.


  After the marriage, he quietly walked off the stage, quit the screen, and then walked out of the public eye.


  ● Yesterday reappeared.


  On December 23rd, 1952, Zhongrui Chi was born into a family of five generations of Peking Opera in Beijing. He was deeply influenced by the art of Peking Opera since childhood. However, Zhongrui Chi failed to take the road of Peking Opera in the end, for one thing, he was 1.80 meters tall, and for another, he caught up with the Cultural Revolution in China.


  Although he didn’t enter Beijing Opera, the artistic edification he received since he was a child can’t be lost. Zhongrui Chi took a tortuous artistic path: first he worked as a farmer in Heilongjiang Construction Corps, and then he worked as a literary and art soldier in Yunnan. After he retired, he was admitted to China Broadcasting Art Troupe. Two years later, he was sent to Shanghai Theatre Academy to go to college and became the first batch of college students after the Cultural Revolution.


  After graduation, Zhongrui Chi came to China TV production center and became a professional actor. He has shot a large number of film and television works, playing Du Mingguang in Golden Late Autumn. The second son Huan in "Love in the Pen"; Sun Shuikang, the leader of aquatic products in This is not a misunderstanding; Characters such as Sai Shang Xiao in Harbin at Night.


  One day in 1984, Zhongrui Chi finished filming Harbin at Night and went back to the troupe to get his salary. In the dark corridor, he almost ran into an oncoming stranger, Yang Jie, the director of The Journey to the West.


  At that time, The Journey to the West had just filmed half of it. Xu Shaohua, the actor of Tang Priest, had to leave the crew for some reason. Without the "master", the whole crew was in a state of downtime, and director Yang Jiezheng was so anxious about it that she met Zhongrui Chi.


  "I have to say that this is the Buddha’s edge. When I passed by in the corridor, Yang Jie decided that I was the best candidate for Tang Priest. A week after we met, I put on my cassock and rode on Bai Longma. "


  In 1988, The Journey to the West premiered in China, and the Tang Priest played by Zhongrui Chi was unanimously recognized by the audience. The four men became the most popular stars for a time, and attracted much attention wherever they went. However, at this moment, Zhongrui Chi chose to leave. He married Ms. Chen Lihua, the richest man in China, who was ten years older than him, and retired from the entertainment industry and started a new life.


  Our reporter takes you to visit the new life in Zhongrui Chi.


  They had a glorious history; They may have spent your youth with you; They used to be idols of a generation … Time flies and times have changed. Now they have bid farewell to their glory and started a new life. Show you their second life by comparing them. In this issue, the character-Zhongrui Chi is recorded.


  "Late Chief" in Luxury Palace [nowadays]


  At 9: 00 a.m. in a spring March, we arrived at the gate of China Red Sandalwood Museum on the northwest side of Gaobeidian Bridge in Beijing’s East Fourth Ring Road. Compared with the busy and congested streets in the morning rush hour, it was particularly spacious and deserted.


  At the gate, a big boy wearing a security uniform just pushed out the wooden box for collecting tickets. Under his guidance, we bypassed the museum in front and came to the back. We walked past a stone bridge, and there was a building with more than ten floors. The exquisite decoration of the building made people think of the word "magnificent". Upstairs, in the middle of the building, the three golden characters "Lihua Pavilion" shine in the sun.


  Walking into the interior of Lihua Pavilion, you will immediately feel the solemnity and luxury inside, just like walking into an ancient palace: there is a wide rosewood screen facing you, a huge and beautiful crystal chandelier overhead, all doors, windows and partitions are made of wood, with couplets and carved beams and painted buildings, and two elevators are hidden behind the antique wooden door frame, which makes people have to sigh the perfect combination of classical and modern.


  This is a modern comprehensive building with a classical appearance, with office area, hotel, gym, swimming pool, KTV and so on.


  We were taken into a reception room on the second floor. There are three floors in the room, which are still wooden doors, wooden windows and wooden floors. The outermost room is a rosewood screen, a plush chair and a mahogany long table, the second room is a circle of sofas and coffee tables, and the innermost room is a rosewood collapse. No sooner had we settled down in the plush chair than someone came in and poured tea.


  After sitting for a moment, with the sound of footsteps coming from the corridor and the greeting of the staff, Zhongrui Chi came in. He was in a good mental state, flushed and with a gentle smile on his face. It is still the appearance of the Tang Priest in The Journey to the West in the past, and it is still a loud and magnetic voice. The opening remarks are: "As soon as you see this rosewood museum, you will understand what I have done since I left the audience for more than ten years, at a glance."


  Why did Zhongrui Chi, who successfully shaped the role of Tang Priest in The Journey to the West, put aside his good performing career and open the rosewood museum instead? This has to start with his marriage.

Questionnaire survey on consumption recovery: 90% of the respondents are willing to travel and meet business opportunities.

  In a resort hotel in Suzhou, Ms. Zhang and her family booked a 2-night stay, as well as a 2-day vegetarian meal and Chinese massage. "Our family has &lsquo; Yangkang &rsquo; After a while, the relevant policies have been relaxed, and our family has not traveled for a long time, so we hope to go out for fun, but unlike before, &lsquo; Yangkang &rsquo; After that, we paid more attention to healing tourism, instead of arranging too full a trip, mainly to relax ourselves and even add some rehabilitation projects. " Ms. Zhang said.

  Ms. Zhang’s travel choices and ideas are typical representatives of many tourists this year. CBN recently publicly conducted a questionnaire survey on "Consumer Recovery, Will You Buy in buy buy?" After collecting more than 1,200 valid questionnaires, it was found that it was asked "Which fields of goods or services would you consume?" At that time, tourism ranked first, reaching 91.24%. In other words, tourism that can satisfy people’s spiritual pleasure consumption is what most people will choose in the consumer market this year, and many tourists’ willingness to travel this year is obviously strengthened compared with previous years.

  After recent interviews and investigations, the First Financial Reporter learned that this year, with the recovery of outbound travel and the warming of inter-provincial travel, tourism will inevitably usher in recovery and business opportunities. After experiencing the epidemic, more tourists began to favor healing tours and some extended cultural tours with experience. Of course, how to restart the outbound travel business, do a good job in the derivative projects of Dawen Travel and attract tourism professionals are also challenges that the industry needs to face.

  90% of the respondents want to travel, and nearly 60% of the tourists have a single budget of more than 10,000 yuan.

  In the three years since the epidemic, outbound travel has been suspended, domestic travel has been repeatedly blown, and repeated epidemics in various places have also made scenic spots open and closed. Local consumption has become the main mode of tourism in the past three years, which has given birth to some in-depth local tourism products.

  This year, with the relaxation of relevant policies, people’s willingness to travel, which has been suppressed for many years, seems to have a "small blowout". According to the questionnaire survey of CBN’s Consumer Recovery, Will You Buy in buy buy, 91.24% of the respondents chose to have a travel plan this year. When asked whether this year’s willingness to travel has increased compared with previous years, 85.85% of the respondents said that this year’s willingness to travel has increased or at least remained the same.

  The above questionnaire survey also shows that 60.2% of the respondents have plans for domestic travel this year, and 32.37% of the respondents plan to go both for domestic travel and outbound travel this year.

  In terms of tourism consumption expenditure, 57.39% of the respondents have a budget of 10,000 ~ 20,000 yuan per capita for single tourism consumption this year, and 32.6% of the respondents have a budget of 5,000 ~ 10,000 yuan for single tourism consumption, accounting for 5.63% of the respondents with 1000 yuan ~ 5,000 yuan.

  "In 2019, the tourism industry reached a relative peak. The tourism market in the past few years should have been very vigorous. However, when it encountered an epidemic, both domestic and outbound travel were hit. However, after the epidemic, people have strengthened their willingness to travel, and some spiritual pleasures have been favored by people. You see, in the consumption of Women’s Day just past, &lsquo; Yueji &rsquo; It’s a key word. Women are very particular about their inner experience when they travel. Therefore, we will see that in the process of consumption recovery this year, more subdivided products with spiritual pleasure will be released, and more themed tourist routes and accommodation products will be developed. " Cheng Chaogong, chief researcher of Tongcheng Research Institute, told the First Financial Reporter.

  Inter-provincial tourism is heating up, and the healing market has great potential.

  According to the tourism market data of Spring Festival, Women’s Day and other nodes this year, domestic tourism is the first to recover, and the results of the questionnaire survey of "Consumption Recovery, Will You Buy in buy buy" of CBN also show that 60.2% of the respondents have plans for domestic tourism this year.

  "Last year’s camping was in the market &lsquo; Kill &rsquo; Out of a horse &lsquo; Dark horse &rsquo; In fact, it is also a market cultivated because everyone can only focus on local consumption. Among them, the consumption of camping, RV and related supplies increased significantly in 2022. " Yang Songbai, general manager of RV Life Home, told the First Financial Reporter.

  According to the data of companies such as Ctrip, Tongcheng, Mama Donkey, Flying Pig, Qunar, Tuniu, Mahoneycomb and Spring and Autumn Tourism, last year, in low-risk areas, the "two-hour holiday circle" became the mainstream. Last year, the local tour orders during holidays such as "May Day" accounted for more than 80%, and most of them were non-group tourists, while camping became a "dark horse". The surrounding camping market continued to heat up during the "May Day" last year, and the popularity of "camping" related travel search increased by 117% from the previous month. At that time, the number of camping orders for flying pigs increased by over 350% month-on-month, and Hangzhou, Chengdu, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Wuhan, Beijing, Zhuhai, Changzhou, Foshan and Chongqing ranked among the top ten cities in China as popular camping tourist sources.

  In Yang Songbai’s view, after the rapid recovery of cross-provincial tourism this year, camping and other popular tourism projects last year can still be continued, but we must make sub-products that meet the needs of consumers. "For example, some high-quality local tourism projects can be retained, but they can be combined with inter-provincial RV camping, travel agency channel marketing and local homestays to make domestic tourism products. Nowadays, there are many young guests who like to drive by car, experience special homestays and travel freely. We must understand their needs. " Yang Songbai told the First Financial Reporter.

  In addition to camping and RV tours, three years after the outbreak, a large number of consumers are paying more and more attention to health-related consumption, and healing tourism is one of them.

  According to the survey results of CBN’s "Consumer Recovery, Will You Buy in buy buy?", more consumers have increased their spending in the health field this year, among which 87.18% of the respondents have a willingness to consume healthy food. It is worth noting that as many as 55.24% of the respondents are willing to participate in healing tourism this year, and 30.15% of the respondents have plans to participate in rehabilitation activities this year. It can be seen that healing tourism is a bright direction in the recovery of tourism consumption this year.

  "The epidemic once pressed the pause button for our industry, but this year is definitely a business opportunity for recovery. There are two sides to everything. Although the epidemic situation has a great impact on the cultural tourism industry, it has also made more consumers pay attention to health care, and healing tourism has become a trend. The core products of the project "Yin Yu Shui Zhong Tian" invested and developed by us include the journey of mindfulness life, the series of trips of body and mind co-cultivation, etc. to help guests understand their physical and mental health, and also include service teams such as Chinese medicine practitioners, rehabilitation experts, health coaches and nutritionists. These holiday tourism projects combined with healing courses are very in line with people’s demand for recreational travel this year. This year, our key planning project is the Unity International Cultural Festival, to discuss with the industry how to cope with the challenges brought by the development of the times. This year, we will continue to deepen the health industry and continue to help promote the development of the big health industry. " Cao Weide, chairman of Wanbang Pan Asia Group and founder of Yinyu, said in an interview with China Business News.

  It is precisely because of the warming of healing tourism that according to the data of Ctrip, Tongcheng, Mama Donkey, Flying Pig, Qunar, Tuniu, Mawei and Spring and Autumn Tourism, the heat of cities near and south of the Tropic of Cancer such as Sanya, Zhuhai, Xishuangbanna, Dali, Xiamen, Haikou, Tengchong and Beihai soared. Among them, the healing holiday tour in Sanya and some areas of Yunnan is the most popular. Yang Yang, general manager of Beijing Spring and Autumn Travel Agency, said that at the beginning of this year, many tourists chose to go to Sanya for "continuous recuperation", and most of these tourists were "Yangkang" tourists from North China. Spring and Autumn Tourism has also developed a variety of tourism products suitable for "Yangkang" treatment and recuperation, which directly boosted the recovery of cross-provincial tourism this year.

  Opportunities and challenges of restarting outbound travel

  Recently, for the tourism market, it can be said that there are frequent good news. First, it is pointed out in the government work report that restoring and expanding consumption are given priority. Increase the income of urban and rural residents through multiple channels. Stabilize bulk consumption and promote the recovery of life service consumption.

  On March 10th, the Ministry of Culture and Tourism issued the Notice of the General Office of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism on the pilot resumption of the travel agency’s business of China citizens’ outbound teams to relevant countries (the second batch). According to the circular, starting from March 15th, 2023, the national travel agencies and online travel enterprises will be resumed on a pilot basis to operate China citizens’ outbound group tours to relevant countries (the second batch) and "air tickets+hotels" business. From now on, travel agencies and online travel companies can carry out preparations such as product release, publicity and promotion. List of countries involved in (the second batch of) outbound group tours: Nepal, Brunei, Vietnam, Mongolia, Iran, Jordan, Tanzania, Namibia, Mauritius, Zimbabwe, Uganda, Zambia, Senegal, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Armenia, Serbia, Croatia, France, Greece, Spain, Iceland, Albania, Italy and Denmark.

  According to the survey results of CBN’s "Consumer Recovery, Will You Buy in buy buy", 32.37% of the respondents plan to travel both domestically and abroad this year. In other words, at least one-third of the respondents have the willingness to spend on this year’s outbound travel.

  At the beginning of February this year, a number of outbound team tours started, mainly in the Southeast Asian market. The major overseas tourism bureaus have also started marketing for the China market in the near future. For example, the National Tourism Administration of Thailand originally planned to attract 5-6 million China tourists to Thailand this year, but after seeing the recent upsurge of China tourists’ enthusiasm for traveling to Thailand, it immediately raised its expected target. "In 2019, the number of tourists from China visiting Thailand was about 11 million, accounting for about a quarter of the total tourists in Thailand. According to the current good recovery momentum, we have raised our expectations. We now expect 7 million to 8 million China tourists to travel to Thailand this year." Yutasa, director of the National Tourism Administration of Thailand, recently revealed in an interview with the First Financial Reporter.

  At the same time, Tourism Dubai, Tourism Australia, Tourism New Zealand and Tourism Singapore are all getting together for promotion.

  "The further relaxation of outbound travel will inevitably play a positive role in the recovery of the tourism market this year. But we must also see the challenges faced by the recovery of the outbound travel market. For example, compared with domestic travel, outbound travel needs to go through a series of procedures, which are different according to the requirements of different countries, and some visa reservations need to be queued. Three years later, the local docking personnel in many outbound destination countries have also undergone great changes. For example, many local Chinese restaurants in Europe and America have switched to other formats, so it is very difficult to make a group meal of Chinese food now, and it is necessary to find a local catering business again. Local tour guides should also be re-docked. Moreover, many hotels in Europe have to book half a year or more in advance, and it is not easy to get a lot of rooms at once. The route of outbound group tour should also be redesigned, and the conflict between Russia and Ukraine has also led to various cost increases in some European tourist destination countries. International flights have not fully recovered, and these factors will make it take some time for some long-distance outbound travel in Europe and America to recover. To restart the docking of ground connection resources, we can foresee that the prices of some outbound travel products may double due to fewer flights and rising local costs. " Gu Wei, assistant general manager of Shanghai Airlines Tourism Group, spoke bluntly to the First Financial Reporter.

  According to the questionnaire results of CBN’s Consumer Recovery, Will You Buy in buy buy, 57.39% of the respondents’ per capita spending budget for a single trip this year is 10,000-20,000 yuan, while 32.6% of the respondents’ per capita spending budget is 5,000-10,000 yuan. Judging from this, the per capita spending budget of the consumers interviewed this year is not low, even higher than in previous years.

  Tourism enterprises pay attention to creating scenes and recruiting talents again.

  In view of the positive recovery of tourism consumption this year, major tourism enterprises, scenic spots, hotels and other operators are gearing up. After three years of epidemic, most of the tourists are very sober and professional in this process &mdash; &mdash; Pure low price does not attract too many consumers, but to create attractive and cost-effective products.

  "In the past, when people talked about tourism, especially group tours, it seemed that the cheaper the better, and this once caused many tourism disputes. Now what we see is that consumers are also mature, and everyone’s requirements for high cost performance of products are prominent. So what we need to do is to integrate the resources of scenic spots and major tourist destinations, and work with them to create some new products that meet the needs of consumers. This year, we will have plans to cooperate with some regional tourist attractions or local tourism-related operators to develop projects. We can participate in investment or act as operators, instead of the past travel agencies blindly serving as organizers to send tourists. " Liu Ning, director and president of Shanghai Jinjiang Tourism Holdings Co., Ltd., revealed in an interview with China Business News.

  This is also confirmed in the questionnaire survey of CBN’s Consumer Recovery, Will You Buy in buy buy? In the questionnaire, what elements can promote consumption? Most respondents said that it was not low price, but high cost performance accounted for 93.9%, high-quality goods accounted for 90.85%, and value-added space accounted for 86.47%. It can be seen that the goods with high cost performance are the ones that consumers are most willing to spend money on, while the low price factor accounts for only 4.93%.

  The Shanghai Tourism Industry Association revealed to the First Financial Reporter that in order to make more subdivided products and cost-effective products, it is necessary to pay attention to the creation of derivative scenes of Dawen Travel. For example, in the past, tourism was purely a trip, but now many tourism products can be combined with catering and culture, and some high-quality immersive experience projects and script projects can be created as consumption scenes of Dawen Travel. Of course, this kind of project development needs the cooperation of professional planning and cultural tourism resources.

  Nowadays, Ctrip, Tongcheng Travel, Mahoneycomb, etc. are all strengthening cooperation with tourism destination resources, hoping to gather offline scenic spots, accommodation and other partners for common development. For example, recently, Tongcheng Travel announced that it intends to acquire Tongcheng Tourism at a total cost of no more than 700 million yuan. This is an attempt and layout of one-way travel in the leisure tourism and holiday market under the background of strong recovery of the tourism industry. At the end of December last year, Tongcheng Travel announced that it would acquire Tongcheng International Travel Service and promote the deep integration of its tourism and holiday business. The proposed acquisition of Tongcheng Tourism is a continuation of Tongcheng Tourism’s leisure tourism and holiday market. If this intentional acquisition can be achieved, it will effectively supplement and extend the existing business of Tongcheng Travel and deepen the control over the upstream core resources.

  It is noteworthy that due to the three-year epidemic, some travel agencies and upstream and downstream partners still face problems such as resource shortage, and they urgently need support from traffic, technology, data and capital to seize the new opportunities of industrial rejuvenation. How to jointly promote the development of digital intelligence in the industry is a problem that should be considered.

  In addition, the talent plan is also worthy of attention. Many tourism industry feedback, three years since the epidemic, many tourism practitioners have changed careers, this year’s consumption recovery, tourism recovery process needs a large number of professionals to help, which requires recruiting suitable candidates from college graduates and mature talents. Just recently, 10 companies, including Ctrip, announced the joint launch of the "Travel Mulan Plan", which plans to provide more than 20,000+jobs for women in 2023. Sun Jie, the co-founder of the plan and CEO of Ctrip Group, said that this move is to better meet the business growth demand in the first year of tourism recovery, and at the same time help more women get equal opportunities for development in the workplace.

  Cheng Chaogong estimates that domestic tourism can be restored to 70% ~ 80% in 2019 this year, while Southeast Asia tourism in the outbound tourism market may be restored to about 70% ~ 80% in 2019. Of course, everything depends on the actual development of the market.

New Year’s Day is approaching, and the booking volume of air tickets and hotels is increasing. These popular projects are sought after.

  Zhongxin. com, December 30th (Zhongxin Finance reporter Xie Yiguan) Beach, hot spring and ski resort &hellip; &hellip; The New Year holiday is approaching, and many people have already planned their travel itinerary.

  New Year’s Day travel is booming, and the prices of some hotels are "rising"

  Recently, "Yangkang people flock to Sanya, Hainan" boarded a hot search in Weibo. The New Year’s Day holiday is approaching, and many people have also brushed up air tickets and hotels.

  According to the data provided by Flying Pig on the 29th, the number of air tickets booked on New Year’s Day in the past week has nearly tripled compared with last week, among which Chengdu, Sanya, Chongqing, Shanghai, Beijing, Kunming, Haikou, Shenzhen, Guangzhou and Harbin have become popular destinations.

  The customer service of a well-known hotel in Haitang Bay, Sanya also said, "Recently, the booking volume has increased every day. According to the current booking situation, the room occupancy rate is about 50% during New Year’s Day."

  The reporter noted that during the New Year holiday, some rooms in some hotels in Sanya have been fully booked, and the prices have also increased significantly compared with usual. Take a hotel in Yalong Bay as an example. When the reporter inquired in mid-December, the price of a room was less than 1,000 yuan, which had risen to more than 2,000 yuan during the New Year holiday.

  "The room price changes every day. From New Year’s Day to Spring Festival, it belongs to the tourist season in Sanya, and the price will be higher than usual. The Spring Festival is the highest time of the year." The hotel staff explained.

  During the New Year holiday, these popular projects were sought after.

  During the New Year’s Day holiday, in addition to going to warm places such as Sanya for winter, popular projects such as hot springs are also welcomed by people, which has led to an increase in bookings of related hotels and homestays.

  Sang Sang, a post-90 s travel blogger, is very keen on winter hot springs. On New Year’s Day this year, she plans to have a hot spring "relay race" with her friends. First, she will go to Tengchong to experience volcanic hot springs, and then go to Guangdong and Haikou to soak in healthy soup. Sang Sang said: "The most basic respect for winter is to be ruined."

  People’s love for hot springs is also reflected in the booking volume. During the New Year’s Day holiday, some popular hot spring hotels and homestays in Beijing experienced a shortage of rooms and some rooms were sold out, and their prices also rose significantly.

  "Now, except for the four-room suite, all the other rooms have been booked." The customer service of a private soup resort hotel in Changping, Beijing told the reporter, "Every year on New Year’s Day, room reservations are very popular, and it is safer to book one month in advance."

  The reporter noticed that the room price of the private soup resort hotel ranged from several thousand yuan to ten thousand yuan. During the New Year’s Day, some rooms of 10,000 yuan have also been fully booked.

  In addition to soaking in hot springs, young people who pursue a sense of ritual have also unlocked more trendy gameplay to welcome the arrival of 2023. According to the data of flying pigs, skiing, visiting parks, visiting lakes, camping, cooking tea around the stove, killing hotel scripts, roaming ancient towns, watching fireworks and climbing mountains are the top ten popular ways to play on New Year’s Day in 2023.

  In addition, the Shanghai Disneyland Hotel was full on December 31st. In the Universal Studios Hotel in Beijing, some rooms have also been booked during the New Year holiday.

  During the Spring Festival, there may be a wave of outbound travel.

  Recently, the "Overall Plan for Implementing" Class B Management "for novel coronavirus Infection" was issued. It is clear that the outbound tourism of China citizens will be resumed in an orderly manner according to the international epidemic situation and various service guarantee capabilities.

  After the news was released, the search volume of international air tickets and hotels on major tourism service platforms rose rapidly.

  According to the data of Flying Pig, the search volume of international air tickets has increased by more than 8 times in an instant, and the service number of Flying Pig Digital Visa Center has increased by more than 8.3 times compared with last year. According to Ctrip data, within half an hour after the news was released, the search volume of popular overseas destinations on Ctrip platform rose 10 times year-on-year, and the search for outbound air tickets (including China, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan) and overseas hotels reached the peak in three years.

  People’s enthusiasm for leaving the country is also reflected in the order volume. On the same journey platform, as of 14: 00 on the 27th, the order volume of international air tickets for the same journey increased by more than 400% month-on-month. The bookings of overseas hotels such as Hong Kong, Macau, Dubai, Kuala Lumpur and Pattaya increased significantly. As of 12 noon on the 27th, the single-day orders in Bangkok increased by 147%.

  As the seven-day holiday of the Spring Festival in the Year of the Rabbit will be ushered in next month, a wave of outbound travel in the Spring Festival may come.

  Ctrip data shows that the search popularity of many hot outbound destinations before the epidemic began to increase significantly during the Spring Festival in 2023. The search volume related to the Spring Festival outbound and group tour products has soared six times.

  China tourism academy recently released the annual report on the development of outbound tourism in China (2022&mdash; 2023) shows that from 2020 to 2022, the number of outbound tourists in China has decreased by 400 million, and outbound tourism has been seriously damaged.

  In the eyes of the industry, the resumption of outbound travel inspired by the New Deal will effectively restore the confidence of tourists, so that the backlog of outbound travel demand during the epidemic will begin to be released, and the implementation of the new policy will press the "acceleration button" for the recovery of outbound travel.

How to restore the poverty alleviation industry? What should I do if I return to poverty and become poor? —— Focus scanning of poverty alleviation under flood.

Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, July 30th Question: How to restore the poverty alleviation industry? What should I do if I return to poverty and become poor? —— Focus scanning of poverty alleviation under flood.

Xinhua News Agency reporters Hou Xuejing, Wu Huiying and Wei Yukun

Since the flood season, many places in China have suffered from continuous heavy rainfall and severe floods, and the flood situation has continued to develop. In the year of decisive battle against poverty, has the basic livelihood of the affected people been settled? What measures have been introduced by various localities and departments to ensure the recovery and development of poverty alleviation industries? What should I do if I return to poverty due to disasters? In response to these hot issues of social concern, the reporter recently visited the disaster-stricken areas and relevant departments.

Is the basic livelihood of the affected people settled?

Since July, many places in China have suffered from continuous heavy rainfall and serious floods. As of the 28th, 54.811 million people in 27 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) such as Jiangxi, Anhui and Hubei were affected by floods, and 3.76 million people were resettled.

In the centralized resettlement site for the reconstruction of a primary school in Poyang County, Jiangxi Province, the affected people in Gui Hu Village near Wengui Road in Poyang County were resettled. A few days ago, the reporter walked into the resettlement site and saw that the classroom had been sterilized and equipped with mineral water, instant noodles, mats, moisture-proof mats, toiletries and medicines. The local cadres prepared lunch boxes for the resettlement people, including two meats, one vegetable and one soup.

Recently, the National Defense General and the Emergency Management Department held a meeting to ask for strengthening the security guard of Zhuangtai dam, ensuring the safety of housing, electricity, fire and gas at the resettlement sites, and doing a good job in epidemic prevention and control.

In many resettlement sites across the country, the basic livelihood of the affected people has been settled, and the two "dams" of flood control and epidemic prevention have been adhered to in many places.

Don’t miss a household, don’t leave a person-

In Anhui, from the banks of the Yangtze River to the mountainous areas in southern Anhui, and from Dabie Mountain to the areas along the Huaihe River, as of July 27th, 464 resettlement sites have been set up, with 39,633 people staying, and basic daily necessities such as food, clothing and shelter are guaranteed by the government to ensure that no one affected by the disaster is displaced.

Ensure that the epidemic will not be spread by gathering-

In Hubei, when setting up centralized resettlement sites in many places, schools and other places with good sanitary conditions should be selected as far as possible, and the information closed-loop management jointly constructed by community (village) cadres, disaster relief teams, roving medical teams and fever clinics of medical institutions should be established to strictly screen and quickly dispose of them.

Open a leisure room to provide psychological counseling-

In Jiangxi, in addition to ensuring basic living, medical emergency teams at resettlement sites also provide professional psychological counseling, organize calisthenics, dance square dances, etc., so as to relieve the anxiety and anxiety of the affected people as much as possible.

How to restore the poverty alleviation industry?

Jiulong town, yugan county, Jiangxi Province, is located at the end of Poyang Lake. Affected by the disaster, 12,000 mu of farmland was flooded, making it a severely affected area.

Wan Kuai, a 43-year-old villager from Min ‘an Village, Jiulong Town, raised funds to breed crayfish and plant rice after taking off his hat in 2018. "Crayfish could have been listed at the end of August, but all the water ran away." Wan Gaoxing said that he recently went to the fields every day to find ways to reduce losses. "After the water recedes, we must pay close attention to planting late rice and continue to develop aquaculture, and we must try our best to save ourselves."

Luo Guosheng, deputy director of the yugan county Poverty Alleviation Office, said that the flood disaster involved 269 poverty-stricken villages, and the poverty alleviation industry suffered losses of more than 20 million yuan.

"We have bought poverty alleviation industrial insurance for poor households since 2017. At present, we are counting the industrial disasters, actively docking underwriting institutions, and doing a good job in post-disaster claims." Luo Guosheng said that it is necessary to ensure that the people in the disaster areas can resume normal production and life as soon as possible.

According to the statistics of the Emergency Management Department, as of July 28th, the flood disaster has caused 5,283.3 thousand hectares of crops in 27 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) such as Jiangxi, Anhui and Hubei, with direct economic losses of 144.43 billion yuan.

Poverty alleviation industry is a solid foundation for stabilizing poverty alleviation. In order to help the poor people to resume the development of poverty alleviation industries as soon as possible, many departments have taken active actions to deploy.

The State Council Poverty Alleviation Office issued policies to help poor people to help themselves in production, replant crops in time, develop "short-term and quick" planting and breeding projects, help to carry out agricultural insurance claims, and minimize the impact of disasters on poor people’s production.

The Ministry of Finance and the Emergency Management Department have successively allocated 935 million yuan of central natural disaster relief funds to Anhui, Jiangxi, Hubei, Hunan and other provinces.

As of July 10th, China Development Bank has issued the first batch of emergency loans of 1.02 billion yuan to Xuancheng, Tongling, Chizhou, Anqing and Huangshan, which are severely affected by the disaster in Anhui, for emergency maintenance of infrastructure damaged by the disaster, relocation of the affected people and purchase and allocation of relief materials.

The National Defense Office and the Emergency Management Department, together with the State Grain and Material Reserve Bureau, have allocated 8 batches of central flood control materials to Jiangxi, Hubei, Hunan, Anhui and other provinces to do everything possible to ensure the basic livelihood of the affected people.

What should I do if I return to poverty and become poor?

"yugan county has purchased the liability insurance for returning to poverty for all the people out of poverty, and the insurance for preventing poverty for the rural marginal population, and issued an early warning of the risk of returning to poverty due to disasters. The villages will summarize and report it to the townships for review, and the county poverty alleviation office will verify it. The insurance institutions will conduct surveys and claims, and make every effort to prevent poverty from returning to poverty due to disasters." Luo Guosheng said.

In the investigation, the reporter found that in the disaster dispatch, all localities focused on poor households and marginal households with weak ability to resist disasters and risks, and timely included assistance through monitoring and early warning to ensure that no one was missed and no one was left behind, and they were rescued at the first time.

In an effort to overcome the impact of geological disasters such as floods on poverty alleviation, the State Council Poverty Alleviation Office explicitly included timely monitoring and assistance for poverty caused by geological disasters caused by floods, and at the same time introduced a series of measures to prevent people from returning to poverty.

-Properly arrange new jobs to promote employment nearby and prevent disasters from causing the income of some poor people to drop sharply. The "returning" poor laborers will be included in the monitoring and assistance in a timely manner, and the poor laborers who go out to work will be well employed to prevent the "returning" from returning home due to disasters and epidemics. For the poor laborers who have "returned", actively help them solve their difficulties and encourage them to go out to work again to increase their income.

—— Timely monitoring and helping the poor products that are "difficult to sell", solidly promoting the action of poverty alleviation through consumption, and vigorously supporting the poor people to increase their income and get rid of poverty through developing industries.

-Give full play to the role of the monitoring and assistance mechanism to prevent poverty, timely record the eligible people who have returned to poverty due to disasters, epidemics, diseases and disabilities into the monitoring system, and implement the comprehensive security policy for the elderly, the weak, the sick and the disabled.

Many departments acted immediately after the disaster occurred, and introduced measures to focus on protecting special personnel and marginal population to ensure that there was no poverty caused by the disaster.

The Ministry of Civil Affairs requires all localities to pay relief funds in full and on time, so as to effectively guarantee the basic livelihood of people suffering from disasters and prevent them from returning to poverty due to disasters. In view of the special groups such as scattered support for poor people, scattered orphans, left-behind elderly people, left-behind children, children in distress and disabled people, all localities are required to take timely measures such as giving social assistance and referring them to relevant departments to solve their practical difficulties.

The National Defense Office and the Emergency Management Department have made it clear that they should provide assistance and support to poor areas, people suffering from disasters and severely affected households, and effectively prevent poverty from returning to poverty due to disasters.

According to the monitoring of the State Council Poverty Alleviation Office, the current disaster situation mainly leads to the damage of infrastructure such as houses, transportation and drinking water safety projects in poverty-stricken areas. In terms of poverty caused by geological disasters caused by floods, the affected provinces have taken timely measures to overcome the impact of the disaster on the production and life of poor people. At present, most provinces have not experienced poverty caused by disasters, and some provinces have been included in the assistance in time.

The relevant person in charge of the the State Council Poverty Alleviation Office said, comprehensively investigate the hidden dangers of infrastructure, speed up the maintenance and reconstruction of poverty alleviation projects such as damaged houses, roads and water conservancy projects, ensure the safety of housing and drinking water for poor people, and timely prevent and resolve the risk of returning to poverty due to geological disasters such as floods. For those who may return to poverty, it is found that one household monitors one household to help another. (Participating in writing: Li Jiaying, Cheng Shihua, Jiang Gang)

Everyone talks about the economy | Let the "new individual economy" inject more power into high-quality development

Talk about the economy

  Author: Professor Wang Kuancheng from Peking University. Chen Chunhua,Researcher, Socialism with Chinese characteristics Institute of Thought, Supreme Leader of Peking University, New Era Yin jun

  In recent years, the "new individual economy" has entered the public eye and gained extensive attention. Previously, the National Development and Reform Commission and other 13 departments jointly issued the Opinions on Supporting the Healthy Development of New Business Forms and Models, Activating the Consumer Market and Promoting the Employment Expansion, which mentioned for the first time "encouraging the development of new individual economy and opening up new space for consumption and employment" to help the new economy and new business forms develop further. The new individual economy is an innovative combination of "internet plus individual economy". Compared with the traditional individual economy, it has great innovations in technology, mode, market and employment. Under the situation of epidemic normalization prevention and control, the new individual economy is not only a response to economic recovery, but also an important way to "ensure six guarantees and six stabilities", enhance economic development momentum and stimulate market innovation vitality. Therefore, we should further increase policy support for the new individual economy, improve relevant laws and regulations, create a good atmosphere for mass entrepreneurship and innovation, and inject greater vitality and power into the high-quality economic development of China.

  Where is the new individual economy "new"

  At present, the new individual economy is in a period of vigorous development, which has not only spawned various new economic formats and new business models, but also greatly changed the original market structure, market demand and employment methods, showing many "new" characteristics.

  New technology: the development opportunity in the digital age. The primary feature of new individual economy is "internet plus", which has the characteristics of digital economy at first. The use of digital technology is the basic attribute of the new individual economy. The traditional logic of individual economy development is the logic of competition, that is, it is either one or the other, and the individual economy succeeds by winning limited opponents around it. In the digital age, the development logic of the new individual economy has changed. Everything is interconnected and interdependent, and the new individual economy has been facing a dynamic, complex and rapidly changing environment. The practitioners of the new individual economy cannot cope with environmental changes and promote development by their own strength, so they need to develop together with ecological partners, that is, follow the symbiotic logic to achieve symbiosis, sharing and common prosperity.

  The new "mode": the manifestation of mass entrepreneurship and innovation. The new individual economy has moved the traditional individual economy to the Internet, and its business model has changed from the original "individual economy to consumers" to "Internet platform+individual economy to consumers". The biggest feature of the new individual economy business model is the empowerment of Internet platforms, which include both social media platforms and various e-commerce platforms. These Internet platforms have huge online traffic. With the empowerment of the platform, every individual industrial and commercial household can apply to become a new individual economic practitioner and become a virtual shop owner based on the platform, which can quickly reach all kinds of consumers, quickly gain consumers’ cognition, shorten consumers’ decision-making time, and extremely reduce the transaction and communication costs between the supply and demand sides, thus realizing fast transactions. In addition, with the support of big data technology, the platform can also provide more customized market and consumer information for new individual economic practitioners, help new individual economic practitioners to better understand the market and consumer needs, and provide consumers with more personalized products and services to enhance their business performance.

  New Market: A Great Opportunity for Economic Recovery. The traditional individual economy is mainly aimed at the offline market, and most of them are oriented to local areas. The new individual economy relies on the Internet platform, not only for the traditional offline market, but also for the internet of everything and the infinitely vast online market. The consumers who serve are no longer limited to one street, one lane, one city and one town, but for the whole country and even the whole world. Therefore, great changes have taken place in both market structure and market demand, which also provides an incomparably broad platform and opportunity for the development of new individual economy. At the same time, the rapid development and convenience of the new individual economy have also cultivated new consumption habits in the market. Online consumption and online office have become the first choice of more and more consumers.

  New employment: an important guarantee for stable employment. The innovation of the new individual economy is that it has broken through the "company+employee" model of the traditional individual economy and changed into a new model of "platform+individual". For example, entrepreneurs in the new individual economy have realized a new mode of self-employment with the help of various resources on the platform. For the employees of the new individual economy, this model also gives them higher autonomy, and they can work without time and space restrictions, and they can freely choose their employers and working hours, thus attracting the attention of many employees, especially young employees. In addition, as a link between new individual economic practitioners and resources, the platform has also spawned many new ways of employment. Since the outbreak of the epidemic in COVID-19, many jobs have been greatly impacted, but the employment of the new individual economy has soared against the trend, which has contributed an important force to stabilizing employment and boosting the economy.

  How better?Promote the healthy development of new individual economy

  Implement the policy of "combination boxing" and increase support for the new individual economy. The first is to further reduce the entry threshold, start-up cost and operating cost of the new individual economy, especially the platform use service fee and financing cost of the new individual economy. The government can guide financial institutions to provide more favorable and convenient financing policies for the new individual economy, or give the new individual economy corresponding entrepreneurial subsidies or interest-free loans. At the same time, it can issue industry guidance on the benefit distribution of Internet platforms, guide Internet platform enterprises to reduce the platform service fees of practitioners, and attract more individual operators to start businesses online.

  The second is to create a social atmosphere that supports the development of new individual economy. For example, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security and other departments officially released a new professional directory to the society, including "blockchain engineering technicians" and "Internet marketers", and added formal jobs such as "live salesmen", "e-commerce anchors" and "online celebrity with goods" under the occupation of "Internet marketers"; The Ministry of Education classifies the opening of online stores as "self-employment" and the bloggers and e-sports workers in WeChat official account as "freelancing". For another example, some areas have formulated targeted support policies for the new individual economy by establishing and improving relevant statistical monitoring systems, including policies such as deferring or exempting social security fees for new individual economy practitioners, or extending the existing employment policies and entrepreneurship support policies for the real economy to the new individual economy to support the development of the new individual economy.

  Due to the rapid development of the new individual economy, many new formats and new models will emerge in practice. At the policy support level, we should adhere to the development concept of keeping pace with the times, formulate relevant measures according to the characteristics of the new individual economy, provide better services for the new individual economy with "Internet+government services", or provide more high-quality public products for the new individual economy with platform enterprises. In addition, in policy making, we should reserve enough flexible space for the innovation and entrepreneurship of the new individual economy, and we should not bind the hands and feet of the new individual economy to expand its operations and innovate ways.

  We will speed up the improvement of the system of laws and regulations and effectively protect the rights of all kinds of subjects. First, we should improve the laws and regulations to protect the rights of new self-employed workers, especially the policies on labor rights protection, salary and welfare, and social security for flexible employees, and explore the rights protection and social security policies to adapt to cross-platform and multi-employer flexible employment, so as to relieve the worries of new self-employed workers. Especially in terms of employment, training, rights protection and other policy standards and institutional norms, we should be as consistent as possible with the practitioners of the traditional individual economy, and pay attention to ensuring the rest rights and occupational safety of the new individual economy practitioners.

  Secondly, scientifically formulate the supervision system of the industry to protect the legitimate rights of consumers. Cooperate with industry associations and platform enterprises to formulate industry standards. In addition, it is necessary to formulate the management measures for the new individual economy, and make it clear in terms of business varieties, rights protection mechanism, honest management and after-sales service to protect consumers’ legitimate rights.

  Carry forward entrepreneurship and create a good atmosphere for mass entrepreneurship and innovation. Carrying forward the entrepreneurial spirit is the fundamental measure to promote the long-term development of the new individual economy from the perspective of the healthy development of the new individual economy. It is necessary to carry forward the entrepreneurial spirit of patriotism, innovation, honesty, courage to shoulder social responsibilities and expand international horizons in society, oppose the impetuous atmosphere of pursuing short and quick, and create a good atmosphere for mass entrepreneurship and innovation.

  It is necessary to guide new individual economic practitioners to pay attention to the trend of national strategic development and technological progress, make good use of policies, conform to the trend, and realize the same frequency resonance between individuals and national economic and social development. It is necessary to guide new individual economic practitioners to break the inertia of thinking, maintain the attitude of lifelong learning, be explorers, organizers and leaders of innovation and development, and be brave in promoting production innovation, technological innovation, market innovation and management innovation. It is necessary to guide the new individual economic practitioners to be honest and law-abiding, enhance the awareness of the rule of law, the spirit of contract, and the concept of keeping contracts, and set an example of honesty and law-abiding. To guide the new individual economic practitioners to shoulder social responsibilities, in the process of economic and social development, in the struggle to prevent and control the COVID-19 epidemic, and play an important role in the work of "six guarantees and six stabilities". Finally, we should guide the new individual economic practitioners to broaden their international horizons, seize the opportunity of opening up to the outside world, and achieve greater achievements on the global stage.

Chen Xiaoqi: Being "squeezed" into the pop music scene, 40 years later, "the sound of the waves remains the same"

"The sound of the waves sounded, and the beautiful Jiangnan picture slowly opened;

Please take a wupeng boat, drink daughter’s red, and step on Qingshi Lane in the south of the Yangtze River.

Please turn into a poem of Tang and Song Dynasties and linger among the lotus flowers reflecting the sun in the south of the Yangtze River.

Please walk into Yangzhou with fireworks in March and Jiangnan in your dreams, and moisten our tired hearts in the journey of life with the humanistic atmosphere and ancient historical clouds of Jiangnan water town.

Let the charm of the south of the Yangtze River ignite the eternal heart lamp of your thoughts and friendship, illuminate our wonderful music journey tonight, and sing the eternal soul song together. "

On the evening of April 24th, accompanied by a poetic opening speech by the host Ren Luyu, "Beijing Concert of Chen Xiaoqi’s Classic Works" was sung in poly theatre.

Speaking of Chen Xiaoqi, many people may not be familiar with it. But mentioning his works "The Sound of the Waves Still", "I don’t want to say" and "How are you, Big Brother" is the memory of several generations. As a songwriter, Chen Xiaoqi is a name that has to be mentioned in the history of China pop music.

James J.S.Wong, a ci writers from Hong Kong, once said before his death: There is Chen Xiaoqi on the mainland, so there is no need to go to Hong Kong.

Chen Xiaoqi

Chen Xiaoqi, a songwriter in China, is a first-class writer in literary creation. At present, he is the executive vice chairman of the China Musicians Association Pop Music Society, the vice chairman of the Chinese Music Literature Society, the chairman of the Guangdong Pop Music Association and the vice chairman of the Guangdong Writers Association.

Since 1983, nearly 2,000 works have been published, of which about 200 have won the Golden Bell Award, Golden Eagle Award, China Top Ten Golden Melody Award and other awards.

Representative works: The Sound of the Waves Is Still the Same, How Are You Big Brother, Daughter Red in 1999, I don’t want to talk about it, Plateau Red, Cheer for Today, Baqiao Willow, Fireworks in March, etc.

Different from other concerts, there was no overwhelming noise and commotion in the whole performance, only the quiet listening of a full house of high friends.

Whether it is the "Chinese style" with ancient rhyme or the pop music that fits the times, it all reveals a sense of ritual with humanistic feelings and a sense of crossing time and space.

Towards the end, Chen Xiaoqi came on stage in a black trench coat and sang "The Sound of the Waves Still" with other singers. When he came to Beijing for a concert for the first time in his life, he was a little nervous and said with a smile, "It’s still comfortable to hide behind the scenes."

Chen Xiaoqi was filled with emotion after the performance.

"There were three major historical events 40 years ago. The first was that reform and opening up began in Guangdong; The second is to resume the college entrance examination, so that we have the opportunity to study in college; The third is the birth of China contemporary pop music in Guangdong. At this point in time, holding this concert in Beijing is not only a summary of yourself, but also a report to the audience. "

On the day of the interview, Chen Xiaoqi was dressed simply, wearing a white Chinese shirt and a pair of black-rimmed glasses, with her hair simply behind her head.

Writing is like a person, just like the "refined and fresh spirit temperament" in Chen Xiaoqi’s music works, and his manners and manners also have a quiet and wise literary popularity.

Music is my calling in life.

In 1954, Chen Xiaoqi was born in an art house in Puning, Guangdong. His mother was the director of a local cultural center and often took him to see art exhibitions. My father loves Chaozhou opera and national musical instruments, and his plays have won the Lu Xun Literature and Art Award. Influenced by his family, Chen Xiaoqi has a strong interest in literature and art since he was a child.

Speaking of the enlightenment of his classical poetry, Chen Xiaoqi was deeply impressed by one little thing. When he was a teenager, he found a collection of poems of the Tang Dynasty with no cover in the garbage (only a few years later did he know it was "Three Hundred Poems of the Tang Dynasty"), and he was fascinated by it.

At that time, these reading materials regarded as "poisonous weeds" were so sensitive that he could only hide them under his pillow and read them secretly. Later, my father found out and got a beating &mdash; &mdash; "My father is a literary lover. He once collected hundreds of novels and poems. When I lit a match with tears in my eyes, I believe his heart was also in tears." Chen Xiaoqi wrote in "30 Years of Oral College Entrance Examination".

This burnt-out collection of poems ignited Chen Xiaoqi’s fascination with classical poetry and his desire for literary creation.

But in those dark days, reading was a luxury, and Chen Xiaoqi turned to teaching himself music. Do it yourself if you can’t afford an instrument. "First, the flute and erhu, cut bamboo, burn red with sharpened iron bars and drill holes in bamboo to make flutes; Go to the mountain to hunt snakes, peel off the snake skin and dry it, and then stretch it on a bamboo tube to make erhu. The bowstring must be made of ponytail, cut and smashed with sisal, then soaked in water for a week, and the fiber is extracted to make bowstring. "

Until he went to high school and went to work in the auto parts factory, Chen Xiaoqi always insisted on writing poems, songs and organizing cultural and sports activities, and served as the captain of the amateur literary propaganda team and band leader, just like a passionate young man.

In 1977, the college entrance examination was resumed, and there was a major turning point in personal future and national destiny. "From the news of the resumption of the college entrance examination in the newspaper, everyone has the feeling of being rescued and rushing to tell each other."

In 1978, Chen Xiaoqi was admitted to the Chinese Department of Sun Yat-sen University. His literary talent was finally displayed. During his college years, he published a number of poems in publications such as Works, Haiyun, Star Poetry and Youth Poetry, and together with several poets, he founded the Bauhinia Poetry Society of CUHK, which lasted for many years. And music became a hobby of his. He joined the CUHK Folk Orchestra, playing cello and gaohu at first, and then playing dulcimer. But he is not interested in music, but dreams of becoming a real poet. 

Eyes

I face everything squarely

My eyes are the vast sky.

It’s the rising dawn

I face everything squarely

Includes a palm that blocks vision.

And clouds covered with shadows

I face everything squarely

And look yourself in the eye.

I face everything squarely

And look yourself in the eye.

After graduation, I originally planned to continue my "literary dream" in this way. I never thought that the position of the publishing house I had contacted was temporarily rejected. Chen Xiaoqi was very confused during that time.

It happened that the Guangzhou branch of Chinese record company was recruiting an editor, but he signed up in desperation and set foot on the road of music by mistake.

"The tragedy of life is comedy in the end."

Many years later, recalling the inspiration of music to himself, he wrote: "On a lonely and almost dead night, a bleak moonlight shone on the bed through the window lattice, and suddenly there was a flute in the distance, and I don’t know what it was, and I wanted to say goodbye with faint resentment." In an instant, I suddenly burst into tears. I don’t know what mysterious connection it has with my life. I only know that it is a call I want in my life. From that moment on, music became my favorite, and after many years, it finally became my lifelong career. "

After getting his first recorded song, Chen Xiaoqi listened to it with a tape recorder for dozens of times at home. "At that moment, I discovered that the music score turned into sound has such breathtaking power! This sense of accomplishment has never been seen before when poetry was published in publications. "

Participants and witnesses of pop music

Chen Xiaoqi’s road to music creation began in 1983, when China pop music began to sprout in Guangdong.

China in 1980s was an age eager to explode. The lack of culture for a long time before has made many cultural products hot-sellers, and the music field is a hot spot of turmoil.

As the forefront of reform and opening up, Guangdong has thus become the engine and bridgehead of China’s pop music. Hong Kong and Taiwan songs, English songs, Japanese songs, etc. flooded in and became all the rage.

"At that time, most record companies launched something called &lsquo; Song of saliva &rsquo; His works were introduced from overseas and Hong Kong and Taiwan, and re-sung. "

In order to promote the rise of the original power of pop music, many institutions in Guangdong have launched pop music charts. "At that time, writing original songs was to hit the list, win the list, and then broadcast it on the radio program for the public to accept. It was best to win the prize in the end.

The fertile soil of Guangdong music industry nourishes Chen Xiaoqi’s generation of musicians.

However, at that time, most people had a little knowledge of the new term "pop music" and even had prejudice.

"Pop music was treated unfairly at that time, and many people thought it was a very vulgar thing, very low-level, very simple, and even a dirty art. So we set ourselves a goal to change this misunderstanding and discrimination against pop songs in society. "

Chen Xiaoqi consciously hopes to reverse the social, especially cultural and press views on pop music through high-grade works.

In 1984, with profound classical literature and unique music concept, Chen Xiaoqi created Dunhuang Dream. "Qin Shi Yue, Han Shi Guan, camel bell shook the ancient Dunhuang. Qilian snow, Yumen frost, where is the flying in the dream? " This dream of Dunhuang, full of classical literary feelings, shocked the music world and changed people’s prejudice against pop music at that time.

"This work was also broadcast on radio programs at that time, and many hotline calls came in. There are some old professors in their sixties and seventies. Strangely, each of them said the same thing, that is, your works have changed our view of pop music. I always thought pop music was a vulgar thing, but after listening to your songs, I felt very good, and it was more humanized and grounded than those before. "

Chen Xiaoqi was greatly encouraged, but also strengthened his creative direction and aesthetic interest in pop music.

In the mid-1980s, influenced by the ideological trend of root-seeking literature, Chen Xiaoqi decided to create a series of "Modern Native Land". Since Dunhuang Dream, he has successively created many lyric works with classical images and local flavor, such as Dream of Jiangnan and Baqiao Willow.

The appearance of these elegant pop music works has made the public and the government see the cultural potential of pop music and promoted the wide spread of pop music.

In the 1990s, the recording industry seems to have ushered in its heyday.

Chen Xiaoqi was originally located in Guangzhou, which is also known as the "Four Giants" of the recording industry with Pacific Ocean, New Era and White Swan. The star system of record companies and the appearance of national media entertainment pages greatly promoted the sales of records at that time. Singer’s posters, stickers and tapes are all over the mainland, and pop singers’ songs are echoed in the speakers in the streets.

"That was the time when Guangdong had the greatest influence in the country. The four major record companies all had their own singers, and they all pushed out at the same time. At that time, Guangdong’s media had the greatest influence, the advertising industry was the most developed, and the film and television industry was ahead. For Guangdong, it was indeed a golden age. "

Singers packaged by Chen Xiaoqi Music Creation Company include Li Chunbo, Gan Ping, Chen Ming, Zhang Mengmeng, Lin Ping, Yiyang, bald li jin, Liao Baiwei, Chen Shaohua, Eagle Group, Fire Wind, Rong Zhonger Jia and so on.

The 1990s was also the peak of Chen Xiaoqi’s creation. Well-known pop music hits such as The Sound of the Waves Still, How are you, Big Brother, I don’t want to talk about it, and Daughter Red in 1999 were all born in that era. The names of these singers and songs, in a sense, have also become the representative symbols of Chinese pop music, which have crossed the mark of the times.

Resist the clean stream of fast food culture

Since 2000, China has entered an era of online music.

Due to the lack of persistence and pursuit of the cultural taste and literary quality of music works, the erosion of fast food culture on music creation has become more and more obvious. Many people feel that pop music is becoming more and more unbearable nowadays.

Chen Xiaoqi is also quite worried. On the one hand, the emergence of the Internet has made music works present a more diversified state, but on the other hand, it has also infected the pop music scene with impetuous wind.

"The current music is adapted to the fast-paced life. Its advantage is to keep up with social hotspots. What happens in society, some people write this thing on the Internet and some people sing it. But it disappeared after a few months. Therefore, for song creation, this state is very bad because it can’t guarantee the artistry, classicality, cultural thickness and so on. These things are ignored, because everyone can’t stop, and there is no time to write slowly. If you don’t write slowly, no one will listen slowly, and the concert will lose a lot. "

Fortunately, this is not the case in the whole music industry. Chen Xiaoqi believes that there are still a group of people who are willing to write songs slowly and write them to people who are too heavy to listen. "It’s just that they don’t get a chance to spread and get them on the Internet, and they are immediately buried and submerged."

Among Chen Xiaoqi’s many works, the most famous one is The Sound of the Waves Still, which is also the longest-consuming one in his creative career. Recalling the creation of The Sound of the Waves Still, Chen Xiaoqi felt a lot.

One day in 1991, I accidentally reread the Tang poem "a night-mooring near maple bridge", and such a beautiful poem as "Jiang Feng fishing for fire and worrying about sleep" triggered Chen Xiaoqi’s creative inspiration. "The ancients always liked to leave blank when writing poems, which seemed implicit, but I always felt that these 28 short words had not finished what the author wanted to say, and the blank space in the poems also made people daydream." So, he decided to continue to write the story in the poem with music.

The sound of the waves remains the same

Take away a fishing fire, let him warm my eyes, leave a true feeling, and let it dock at the maple bridge. Helpless me, I have alienated that emotion, and I realized it many years later and came back to you; The lingering bell is still beating my sleepless and dusty days. It will never be a cloud. You must have kept that smiling face for a long time. After many years, can you accept each other’s changes? It’s always a thousand years’ wind and frost when the moon sets, and the sound of the waves still disappears at the original night. Today, you and I, how can we repeat yesterday’s story? Can this old boat ticket board your passenger ship?

"On the surface, this is a love story, but in fact, what I want to express in my heart is irrelevant love. At that time, I wanted to express the confusion of our generation at that time, that is, between traditional culture and modern culture, we were caught in the middle like a marginal person, unable to give up traditional things while trying to enter the modern society quickly, which was very confusing and at a loss. This confusion is wrapped in the shell of love. I hope to have a deep structure and a surface structure, so it will be more interesting to write. "

As an academic lyricist, Chen Xiaoqi "pays more attention to the poetic expression in the lyrics". "The Sound of the Waves Still" can be said to be a typical expression of his artistic pursuit.

Apart from writing lyrics, Chen Xiaoqi, who has a musical background, also began to try to compose independently.

It took more than two months to compose the lyrics and songs of The Sound of the Waves Still, and even Chen Xiaoqi couldn’t remember the number of revisions. "I think what I write must be worthy of my own aesthetic and artistic conscience."

In 1993, "The Sound of the Waves Still" appeared on the stage of the Spring Festival Evening and became a landmark classic in pop music.

The completion of a song is a systematic project. Apart from the "elaborate" creation of lyrics and songs, the understanding and interpretation of each song is also checked by Chen Xiaoqi. "In fact, many singers were scolded by me when recording songs, and they cried. Many singers say that recording my songs is the hardest. Because even if one word is inaccurate, I will give it to them. "

The craftsman’s heart in music creation also makes Chen Xiaoqi’s works stand the scrutiny of the years. Today, his works can still be regarded as a clean stream of China pop music.

The persistence of the godfather of Lingnan music

Chen Xiaoqi is one of the leading figures of "Southern School" music, and he has always stuck to Guangdong for decades. "Since the 1990s, I have been called to Beijing every day, and I have never been there."

Chen Xiaoqi’s persistence comes from the Lingnan feelings in his bones: "Guangdong is my root, and the humanistic environment and natural environment here are particularly suitable for me, including Guangdong cuisine. It is also very important that the aesthetic taste of Lingnan has been deeply affecting me, and I hope to retain this unique artistic feeling in the South. "

For a long time, Chen Xiaoqi has formed an elegant, ethereal and profound cultural style of the Southern School by combining the artistic conception of classical poetry, modern poetry skills and the fashion sense of contemporary pop songs. This is inseparable from the nourishment of Lingnan culture.

The whole aesthetics of the south began in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, called Chu culture, and then came to Wuyue culture, Jiangnan culture after Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, and now Lingnan culture in Guangdong, in fact, it is all in the same strain. The overall aesthetics pays more attention to beauty, implication and elegance, rather than being straightforward, atmospheric, sublime and magnificent in the north. "

Lingnan architecture

Another important aspect of Lingnan culture is inclusive marine civilization. "Guangzhou’s foreign exchanges have never stopped for more than a thousand years. Even if it was closed to the outside world in the Qing Dynasty, Guangzhou was still open. This makes Guangdong’s views and horizons much broader than those of the mainland. "

The influx of pop music from overseas, Hong Kong and Taiwan has a great influence on the creation of Guangdong musicians such as Chen Xiaoqi.

We draw more lessons from Taiwan Province for the creation of Mandarin songs. After all, the blood of pop music there has not been broken for decades, and they have been there. Moreover, Taiwan Province has always attached great importance to traditional culture. If you look at the poems written by some poets in Taiwan Province, including popular songs written by Taiwan Province, you can read a lot about some feelings in classical literature, and so on. Taiwan Province can keep many things that can’t be seen now. So from our point of view, we are more concerned about Taiwan Province’s works. "

In the field of music production, such as arrangement and recording, "you will learn more from Hong Kong, purely technical things."

Chen Xiaoqi hopes that his creation can always be rooted in Lingnan. "I can feel the atmosphere here. I can let myself be free from too many constraints and think about some artistic things freely."

Classics will be remembered forever.

Good songs will not be silenced by the passage of time, but the classic songs created by Chen Xiaoqi are still circulating in our times.

At the concert, Chen Xiaoqi said, this performance may be a full stop for me, exclamation point? Or a comma? Even an ellipsis? I don’t even know about it myself. I can only tell you that on the road of music, I am still moving forward &hellip; &hellip;

The 36th Hundred Flowers Award announced the list of candidates. Come and vote!


Special feature of 1905 film network Hundred Flowers Award was founded in 1962 under the direct advocacy and care of Premier Zhou Enlai, and the national literary award approved by the Central Propaganda Department is also the oldest award in China’s film industry.


2022 is the 60th anniversary of the founding of Hundred Flowers Award. Sixty years ago, the first Hundred Flowers Award Prize Awarding Conference was held in the Auditorium of the Beijing Political Consultative Conference. Premier Zhou Enlai and Vice Premier Chen Yi were present to congratulate, which showed that the national leaders attached great importance to Hundred Flowers Award and the film industry.


Over the past 60 years, Hundred Flowers Award has been honed in the years and developed in the reform. What remains unchanged is its childlike heart that originated from and for the people. Hundred Flowers Award represents the voice of the overwhelming majority of the people, embodies the enthusiastic support of ordinary people for China films and their heartfelt love for outstanding actors, and plays an irreplaceable role in continuously narrowing the distance between the audience and China films and promoting the prosperity and development of China films.


In recent years, with the continuous development of China films, Hundred Flowers Award is also reforming and innovating with the times. This year, the Chinese Film Association will conscientiously do a good job in awarding the 36th Hundred Flowers Award in accordance with the newly revised "Hundred Flowers Award Charter", so that this "Flower God" trophy, which is full of enthusiastic expectations of the audience and persistent adherence of filmmakers, will bloom with new splendor.



1. Generation of candidate films


In accordance with the relevant provisions of the Articles of Association of Hundred Flowers Award, the scope of participating films is limited to domestic films that have obtained the Film Release Permit issued by the State Film Bureau, and the number of people watching movies has reached more than 1 million, and were released and shown in national urban cinemas during the current award period (February 1, 2020 to February 28, 2022).


According to the articles of association, the Chinese Film Association entrusted 100 managers of key cinemas under the China Film Distribution and Projection Association and the directors of the current Council of the Chinese Film Association to form the 36th Hundred Flowers Award Primary Selection Committee, and voted for the candidate films. After confirmation by the 36th Hundred Flowers Award Organizing Committee, 15 candidate films were produced in Hundred Flowers Award.


The list of candidates for the 36th Hundred Flowers Award Awards was released through the media today and submitted to the national movie audience for voting. Vote for the audience from now until July 10, 2022. After the audience voting stage, the voting results will be counted by the vote counting center designated by the Organizing Committee, and the nominees for the 36th Hundred Flowers Award Awards will be selected.


2. The voting method of the audience


This year, Hundred Flowers Award will conduct online registration voting. Viewers can vote on mobile phones and PCs by clicking on links or scanning QR codes and applets. At the same time, Hundred Flowers Award will take strict and effective technical measures to stop false and malicious acts of brushing tickets.


I believe that the expansion of online new media voting channels will greatly facilitate the voting of the audience and enhance the positive interaction between Hundred Flowers Award and the audience.


Voting, the generation of audience judges and the final attribution of each best award will be tracked and strictly supervised by the notary public. This year’s Hundred Flowers Award set up a supervision and examination committee to supervise the whole process of awards.
