Technology explosion! Pixar is zooming in again.

Time Writer | clory is eager to praise pop culture.

I still remember the animated film Inside Out released by Pixar in 2015, which personified people’s five basic emotions and made people re-examine their emotions in laughter.

This time, Pixar applied the creative idea of "everything can be anthropomorphic" to natural elements, bringing a brand-new fantasy story-

Crazy element city

Fire, water, wind and earth live together in a dream city.

They seem to repel each other, but they can influence each other, colliding with crazy and interesting chemical reactions, and even bringing a love story of "fire and water are incompatible"?

On the occasion of the upcoming film release this Friday (June 16th), Time Jun will take you to see what new elements Pixar has brought to the audience from the picture to the story.

Technical force explosion

In fact, the idea of anthropomorphizing elements is not novel. After all, many people have played the flash game "The Man in the Forest" in the computer room:

But to present this idea perfectly on the big screen requires an extremely professional industrialization process and world-leading technical force.

In this regard, we can always trust Pixar’s technology-

When the gate of Element City is opened, you are greeted with a visual feast that you can enjoy to the utmost.

Absent-minded clouds that come and go freely have injected a trace of cure and accident into the city:

The soil looks dirty, but it is the hero who built and supported the whole urban structure:

Hot and active fire, with a steady stream of energy and energy, provides a solid foundation for the city:

Water full of curiosity always protects and nourishes the natural environment of the city;

In these special urban residents, we can feel that Pixar has created a new height for the presentation of dynamic effects.

For example, Pixar has made great efforts to describe the movement track of "fire", observing the flame in the real world, looking for inspiration, and then performing artistic processing.

So, you can see that when the fire is moving rapidly, sometimes part of the body disappears and rises again:

The audience can feel that this is really a group of "fire people", not a person with "flame skin".

Of course, it takes explosive technical force to make all kinds of elements lifelike, but it takes imagination and sincere observation of life to make these elements truly "characters" and have their own lives in a logical way.

In the trailer, we can see a lot of people who can’t help but sigh "so imaginative, but so real!" The details.

Fire Baby’s stroller is an oven, and milk powder is engine oil;

Fire can also make a hot air balloon heated and take off for a romantic air date:

When water glides on the surface of the lake at a high speed, it can stir up spray and hang a rainbow on the horizon:

Of course, sometimes jokes will be made, such as the fire accidentally hitting the soil wearing a "turf coat" and burning him bald in an instant:

The elements live in this city, and every interaction between them can collide with interesting events, which makes the world truly convincing.

Stimulation of technical strength and imagination, sincere love for life … These "creative elements" complement each other, which is the reason why Pixar animation touches people’s hearts again and again.

Fire and water love

In the gorgeous and magical element city, the classic story of "boy meets girl" is also staged all the time.

However, the two protagonists of this love story are fire and water, Xiao Yan and A Bo.

The gap between the two is so deep that it seems to span an entire periodic table, and it is completely impossible to have a happy ending.

Xiaoyan lives in a traditional family and has the responsibility of inheriting the family business.

Her family has always taught her that "elements are incompatible" and excluded other elements. She has also been taught and has never left the fiery town where the fire elements live.

It was not until Po suddenly jumped out of the burst water pipe that a bigger world slowly opened in front of her.

Contrary to Xiaoyan, A Bo lives in an optimistic family, free and unrestrained, and Xiaoyan is also welcome to outsiders.

The acquaintance with A Bo made Xiao Yan curious about the larger element world, bravely took the step of exploration, and began to pursue his true inner desire.

This is not only a romantic love story across ethnic groups, but also a story of finding self-identity and embracing more possibilities.

In Pixar’s past classic feature films, love rarely served as the main narrative theme, but through some descriptions with little ink, the innocence and sincerity among them have moved the audience to tears.

For example, in Travels around the Flying House, Grandpa Carl and his wife were childhood friends, and the montage clip of their love for a lifetime was tearful to the whole world, explaining what is plain and true:

The pure love between Wali and Eva in Robot Story has also brought happy childhood memories to countless people, telling us that true love may not need the pretense of words:

As for the love between fire and water in Crazy Element City, can Pixar bring us another romantic adventure?

I look forward to how they can overcome many obstacles, know each other and love each other, turn compatibility into compatibility, and turn the impossible into possibility.

Asian perspective

As Pixar’s brand-new feature film masterpiece, Crazy Element City is in full swing and has assembled a gold medal team.

There is a core team that once created Soul and other excellent works with high scores, the chief creative officer of Pixar Studio, and Pete Docter, who directed Inside Out’s Travel Around the Flying House and other Oscar classics, as the producer.

As for Peter Sun, an Asian director who once participated in the production of Summer Friendship Day and Travel Notes around Flying Houses, many people may not be familiar with him.

Most of the time, he is active in animation as a voice actor, and his voice (Ganke Lee) is in the recently released Spider-Man: The Vertical and Horizontal Universe.

He is a new director, but he also has impressive works.

For example, in 2009, the animated short film "Violent Clouds and Crane Delivery" recounted an ancient western legend with a bold and unconstrained style and healing warmth.

For more than five minutes, the soft and changeable "violent cloud" made people feel warm:

What makes people smile is that we can also see the lovely cure of the same paragraph in the "wind" in "Crazy Element City":

In Crazy Element City, we can see Peter Sun’s Asian perspective and narrative about cultural conflicts.

The love story of Xiao Yan and A Bo, which is "incompatible with fire and water", comes from his marriage.

Born in a Korean family, he has been shouldering the responsibility of continuing the tradition since he was a child. Grandma’s expectation for him is "marry a Korean!" .

However, he fell in love with a white woman and got married, which caused many dramatic events in two families.

A small detail can be seen in the trailer. A Bo tried to eat very hot food and burned himself to deformation.

The details of this life also come from the director’s emotional story. He took his wife and her family to a Korean restaurant, but as a result, her wife was not used to eating too spicy food and made some accidents:

At first, the two could only associate behind his parents’ backs, but fortunately, in the end, true love prevailed, and both families finally accepted each other, and they also found many things in common in this marriage with different skin colors.

From this, we can also see that individuals who seem to be "incompatible with fire and water" can actually merge into one as long as they have love to cross obstacles, bringing incomparable touch.

Besides the love story, the setting of Element City also comes from the director’s life experience. As the son of immigrants, the residents in Element City are very different, which obviously refers to the ethnic diversity in the city.

It can also be seen from the choice of directors that Pixar attaches importance to and encourages Asian groups.

From "Metamorphosis of Youth" to "Crazy Element City" today, new directors are boldly used, and the audience can witness more works from Asian perspectives.

In both works, there are themes about the "heavy love" of traditional East Asian families and the identity of immigrants, which are quite cordial to East Asian audiences.

Of course, I also expect these Asian directors to bring more narratives that are not limited to identity, so that audiences all over the world can resonate.

Strong leadership, ideological weapon of core science

  "In the past eight months, our party has United and led the people of all ethnic groups in the country, waged a soul-stirring war against the epidemic, endured an arduous historical test, made great efforts, achieved major strategic achievements in the fight against the COVID-19 epidemic, and created another heroic feat in the history of human struggle against diseases!" At the national commendation meeting on fighting COVID-19 epidemic, the Supreme Leader General Secretary made an exciting summary of China’s fight against the epidemic.

  Today, people have an increasingly scientific and clear understanding of the sudden epidemic situation in COVID-19, and have an objective practical standard for judging right and wrong measures and steps taken during the eight-month anti-epidemic process. Looking back on the thrilling days and nights and the life-and-death struggle of the majestic mountains and rivers, the people of China sincerely realize that the great strategic achievements in the fight against the epidemic are fundamentally due to the strong leadership of the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core and the scientific guidance of the Supreme Leader Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought in the new era.

  Correct judgment and decisive decision-making

  "This epidemic is both a crisis, a big exam and a war." The words of the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader are firm and courageous. The big exam first tests the decision-making ability and courage of a national leader. In the face of the big exam, the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core led the people of China to hand over the excellent answer sheet to create a historical miracle.

  COVID-19 epidemic is the most serious epidemic of infectious diseases in the world in the past century, and it is a major public health emergency with the fastest spread, the widest infection range and the most difficult prevention and control in China since the founding of New China. The epidemic situation is as ruthless as fire and water. It is the Spring Festival, and people are moving on a large scale. If resolute and decisive measures are not taken immediately, the consequences will be unpredictable!

  In the face of the sudden and menacing epidemic, the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core has taken the overall situation and made decisive decisions, and responded to extraordinary things with extraordinary actions. The General Secretary of the Supreme Leader personally commanded and deployed, putting people’s life safety and physical health first, implementing centralized and unified leadership at the first time, clarifying the general requirements of firm confidence, helping each other in the same boat, scientific prevention and control, and precise policy, and resolutely curbing the spread of the epidemic and resolutely winning the overall goal of preventing and controlling the epidemic; Carefully deploy the Wuhan Defence War and Hubei Defence War … … One deployment is orderly, one decision is accurate and scientific, and one measure is steadily advanced. Cross the sea, and you will show your true colors. Under the leadership of the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core, the people of China have found the right direction, strengthened their confidence and consolidated their strength in fighting the epidemic.

  On January 7th, 2020, 11th day after Hubei Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine reported cases of unexplained pneumonia, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader put forward specific requirements for the prevention and control of the epidemic when he presided over the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee meeting. On January 22nd, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader made important instructions, demanding the immediate implementation of strict and closed traffic control over the flow of people and external passages in Hubei Province and Wuhan City. Wuhan, known as "the thoroughfare of nine provinces", is densely populated. It is unprecedented in human history to "close the city" to such a megacity with a population of 10 million, and the risk pressure can be imagined. The general secretary said seriously, "To make this decision requires great political courage and bold historical responsibility.". Yuri Kulintsev, an expert of the Russian Council for International Affairs, commented that it was China’s courageous decision that "won time for the country and the international community and avoided the uncontrolled spread of the virus in the first few months".

  The ship is heavy, with one person at the helm. The more critical the crisis is, the more critical the moment is, and the more it can show the role of the leadership core.

  "I always pay attention to the prevention and control of the epidemic and give oral instructions and instructions every day." "I can’t sleep at night on New Year’s Eve." On the first day of the first month, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader "called everyone together to study and deploy this issue together". Since the outbreak of the epidemic, the General Secretary has presided over 21 research and decision-making meetings in The Politburo Standing Committee (PSC) and Politburo meeting of the Chinese Communist Party, taking the prevention and control of the epidemic as the top priority, adjusting the prevention and control strategies according to the situation and commanding the progress of the war against the epidemic. He said: "The situation of epidemic prevention and control is constantly changing, and all work is constantly facing new situations and new problems. It is necessary to closely follow up, analyze in time, act quickly, be firm and do a good job."

  Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader has repeatedly warned leading cadres at all levels to pay attention to preventing and resolving various risks. In January 2018, he proposed that "major infectious diseases like SARS should always be vigilant and strictly guarded". An important reason why the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core can calmly and effectively respond to epidemic prevention and control is that it has a strong sense of urgency, is good at bottom-line thinking, and is prepared to respond to and resolve various risk challenges with proactive principles and policies. Since the outbreak of the COVID-19 epidemic, the whole party, the whole army and the people of all ethnic groups in China have firmly listened to the call and instructions of the CPC Central Committee and the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader, and acted in unison, reflecting the full trust of the whole party, the whole army and the people of all ethnic groups in the ability of the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core to deal with and resolve major crises.

  Life is supreme at all costs.

  On the afternoon of May 22nd, in the East Hall of the Great Hall of the People, the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader spoke emotionally: More than 3,000 COVID-19 patients over 80 years old were treated in Hubei, including an 87-year-old man, who was carefully cared for by a dozen medical staff around him for dozens of days, and finally saved his life. "What is the people first? So many people turn around a patient, which really shows that at all costs. " General Secretary of the Supreme Leader said firmly.

On July 21st, 2020, Mr Cui, the first patient with COVID-19 end-stage lung transplantation in Hubei, was discharged from the People's Hospital of Wuhan University. It is reported that the 65-year-old Mr Cui is the first patient who has reached the discharge standard after 10 lung transplant operations in COVID-19.

  The epidemic is ruthless and people are affectionate. Man’s life is the most precious, life is only once, and it will never come again if it is lost. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out: "In the face of protecting people’s lives, we must do whatever it takes, and we can do it at all costs, because the fundamental purpose of the Communist Party of China (CPC) is to serve the people wholeheartedly, and our country is a socialist country where the people are the masters of their own affairs." People first, life first, the general secretary concretized the people’s position into the core anti-epidemic concept.

  After the outbreak of the epidemic, the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader kept making important arrangements and demanded to go all out to treat patients. On January 20, he gave instructions on epidemic prevention and control, demanding that people’s life safety and health be put first. Since then, in view of the rapid spread of the epidemic, he clearly put forward the prevention and control requirements of early detection, early reporting, early isolation and early treatment, determined the treatment requirements of centralized patients, experts, resources and treatment, and emphasized that improving the admission rate and cure rate, reducing the infection rate and death rate should be taken as outstanding tasks, and he should go all out to treat patients, not leaving out an infected person, not giving up every sick patient, and never delaying the treatment of patients because of cost problems. "As long as we are responsible for people’s lives, we must bear all the costs and consequences", "We can do anything to protect people’s lives" … … Words full of great love have turned the people-centered ruling creed of the Supreme Leader General Secretary Nianzi into the source of power for the whole country to fight against the epidemic to the end.

  There are some historical details that must go down in history. In late January, the analysis and evaluation of critically ill cases found that ECMO (artificial membrane Lung) can win valuable time for the rescue of critically ill patients, and General Secretary of the Supreme Leader demanded: "At all costs, let patients use the best equipment." All parties took urgent action, and about a quarter of the country’s "life-saving artifacts" ECMO quickly concentrated in Hubei. Some doctors have made such a bill: ECMO starts at 50,000 yuan, and it costs 20,000 yuan a day, and all the medical expenses are paid by the state. This vividly shows that in the Communist Party of China (CPC)’s value sequence, people’s lives are always priceless and supreme. It is this life-oriented pursuit and persistence that creates one "miracle of life" after another. As a decisive place in the national epidemic prevention and control struggle, the overall cure rate in Wuhan reached 94%, and the cure rate of severe patients exceeded 89%. From babies born just over 30 hours to elderly people over 100 years old, from foreign students studying in China to foreigners coming to China, every life is fully protected, and human life, human value and human dignity are carefully cared for.

  People’s livelihood is no small matter, and branches and leaves are always related to love. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader always pays attention to people’s life safety and health, but also always cares about people’s lives. He stressed: "The more the epidemic occurs, the more attention should be paid to ensuring and improving people’s livelihood." He asked cadres at all levels to be caring people of the masses, solve their worries and hopes in time, and avoid secondary "disasters" caused by the epidemic.

  This great war exam has witnessed the the Communist Party of China (CPC) people’s adherence to the distinct values of people first and life first. This is a vivid interpretation of the Communist Party of China (CPC)’s concept of governing for the people, and it also makes us more deeply understand the weight of "people" in the heart of the Supreme Leader General Secretary.

  Party flag holds high the mainstay.

  "General secretary, when you visited Hubei, you said that people in Wuhan like to eat live fish, so we should organize more supply. In less than a week, live fish were delivered to our community. " On the afternoon of May 24th, when the Hubei delegation of the Third Session of the 13th National People’s Congress deliberated the scene, Yu Cheng, a representative from Hubei, stood up from his seat and bowed deeply and said, "Before coming, you entrusted me to say ‘ Thank you ’ ! Thanks to the General Secretary and the CPC Central Committee. "

  In times of crisis, the key lies in the party. Representative Yu Cheng’s words expressed the gratitude of the people of the whole country to the General Secretary and the CPC Central Committee, and also reflected the mainstay role played by the Communist Party of China (CPC) in the fight against the epidemic.

  The Communist Party of China (CPC)’s leadership is the most essential feature of Socialism with Chinese characteristics and the greatest advantage of the Socialism with Chinese characteristics system. The party’s leadership is the fundamental guarantee for doing well all the work of the party and the country, and it is the "anchor needle" to overcome all difficulties and risks. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core has promoted the comprehensive and strict administration of the Party, upheld and strengthened its overall leadership, made the Party stronger in revolutionary forging, and further sublimated its leadership and ruling power. These achievements have been fully demonstrated in the fight against the epidemic.

On January 22, 2020, more than 30 medical staff from the Department of Internal Medicine of Union Medical College affiliated to Tongji Medical College of Huazhong University of Science and Technology formed a commando team to fight against COVID-19, and put them into the designated fever hospital supported by Union Medical College Hospital — — In the work of Wuhan Red Cross Hospital.

  At the beginning of the anti-epidemic, the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader presided over the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee meeting of the Communist Party of China on January 25, and made important instructions on January 27, emphasizing the need to strengthen the centralized and unified leadership of the CPC Central Committee. The leading bodies and leading cadres of party organizations at all levels, especially the main responsible comrades, should stick to their posts and take command from the front, so as to be responsible, responsible and conscientious; Grass-roots Party organizations and party member should play the role of fighting bastion and vanguard and exemplary role, so that party flag can fly high in the front line of the epidemic prevention and control struggle.

  A high wind knows a strong grass, and a board swings to know a hero. In response to the call of the Supreme Leader’s General Secretary, more than 4.6 million grass-roots party organizations took the lead, more than 39 million party member and cadres fought in the front line against the epidemic, more than 13 million party member participated in voluntary service, and nearly 400 party member and cadres gave their precious lives to protect people’s lives and safety. Where there are difficulties, there is Communist party member; Where there is danger, there is party emblem shining; Where there is an epidemic, there is party flag flying. Countless Communist party member shouted "I’ll sign up", "Let me come", "Follow me" and "I’ll go first" regardless of life or death, and they practiced the pledge of "being ready to sacrifice everything for the party and the people" with practical actions. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out: "It is precisely because of the leadership of the Communist Party of China (CPC) and the support and support of the people of all ethnic groups in the country for the Communist Party of China (CPC) that China can create a miracle of rapid economic development and long-term social stability that is rare in the world. We can successfully fight floods, prevent SARS, resist earthquakes, turn crises into emergency situations, and win this anti-epidemic struggle."

  The great practice of the anti-epidemic struggle tells us that as long as we unswervingly uphold and strengthen the party’s overall leadership, constantly enhance the party’s political leadership, ideological leadership, mass organization and social appeal, and always maintain the flesh-and-blood ties between the party and the people, we will certainly be able to form a strong joint force and calmly cope with various complex situations and risk challenges.

  Group defense and group control of people’s war

  On February 10th, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader came to Anhuali Community, Anzhen Street, Chaoyang District, Beijing. Wearing a mask, rolling up his sleeves and taking his temperature, in the community neighborhood Committee, he personally called on the whole people to fight the "epidemic." "The epidemic prevention and control work in COVID-19 is a people’s war. We should trust and mobilize the masses and give full play to the community’s ‘ Blocking effect ’ 。” General Secretary of the Supreme Leader personally mobilized the masses to join the people’s war against epidemic, the general war and the blocking war.

  The people’s war is an important orientation of the Supreme Leader General Secretary in the fight against the epidemic, and it is also a fundamental requirement for how to win the war against the epidemic.

  In this anti-epidemic struggle, the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader proposed that the epidemic prevention and control should be fully mobilized, deployed and strengthened, and "firmly rely on the people to win the epidemic prevention and control war". He pointed out that there are two positions to fight the epidemic, one is the hospital to save the wounded and rescue the dying, and the other is the community prevention and control position. It is necessary to widely mobilize, organize and unite the masses, fully implement joint prevention and control measures, and build a strict defense line for group prevention and treatment; We will sink the prevention and control forces to the community, strengthen the implementation of various prevention and control measures in the community, and make all communities a strong fortress for epidemic prevention and control. The general secretary deeply encourages the medical workers and comrades who fought in the front line, the cadres and masses of all ethnic groups in Hubei and the families who lost their loved ones: the whole party, the whole army and the people of all ethnic groups all stand with you and are your strong backing.

  Although the community is small, it is connected with thousands of households. It is the first line of joint prevention and control of epidemic situation, and the most effective line of defense against external import and internal proliferation. We visited Anhuali Community in Anzhen Street, Chaoyang District, Beijing in February, Donghu New Town Community in Wuhan, Hubei Province in March, Jinping Community in the old county town of Pingli County, Ankang City, Shaanxi Province in April, Jin garden club in Litong District, Wuzhong City, Ningxia in June, and Changshan garden club in Tuanshan Street, Kuancheng District, Changchun City, Jilin Province in July. The frequency of community appearance in the general secretary’s inspection trip this year is very high, and joint prevention and control are affecting his heart all the time!

The battle against the epidemic is thrilling. However, we have party member, cadres in charge, police on duty around the clock, community grid workers on call, and volunteers' love relay … … These unknown people are guarding the lights and propping up the lifeline of every city.

  "The movement of Dapeng is not a feather; The speed of galloping is not enough. " To win the anti-epidemic and anti-blocking war, we must gather and inspire the majestic strength of 1.4 billion people. In this epidemic prevention and control struggle, all walks of life shouldered the responsibility. State-owned enterprises and public hospitals bravely shouldered the heavy burden. More than 4 million community workers were on duty day and night in 650,000 urban and rural communities across the country. Various private enterprises, private hospitals, charities, nursing homes and welfare homes actively contributed. The vast number of party member and cadres took the lead in fighting. The commanders and soldiers of the People’s Liberation Army, officers and men of the Armed Police Force and public security police bravely took the lead. The vast number of scientific researchers struggled to tackle the problem, and millions of couriers took the risk of the epidemic. … "I saw with my own eyes a great sense of responsibility to protect my family, my community and even the whole world from diseases." China — Bruce Aylward, foreign leader of the joint expert inspection team of the World Health Organization in COVID-19, said emotionally.

  Wuhan, Lan Shu, Beijing, Urumqi, Dalian … … No matter which city has an epidemic, the people of China have always worked hand in hand with one heart and one mind to get out of the "darkest hour" and move towards a new spring. In August, when the Supreme Leader visited the memorial hall of the Battle of Crossing the River in Anhui, he pointed out that the victory of the Huaihai Campaign was pushed out by ordinary people in small cars, and the victory of the Battle of Crossing the River was rowed out by ordinary people in small boats. The prevention and control of the epidemic in COVID-19 is also a people’s war. "It is the people of Chinese who have given us strength and confidence to overcome this epidemic." The General Secretary of the Supreme Leader is so highly praised.

  Institutional advantages are United across the country.

  "Fangcang Hospital", an unknown name, quickly became familiar with the epidemic. Starting from February 3rd, the Central Steering Group mobilized 22 national emergency medical rescue teams from all over the country, and transformed Wuhan stadiums and exhibition centers into "shelter hospitals". From the afternoon of the 5th to the evening, three shelter hospitals were delivered one after another. 3 hospitals, 4000 beds, less than 2 days! Tan Desai, Director-General of the World Health Organization, said: "The speed and scale of China’s actions are unprecedented in the world, showing China’s speed, China’s scale and China’s efficiency. We highly appreciate this. This is the advantage of the China system, and the relevant experience is worth learning from other countries. "

  Institutional advantage is the greatest advantage of a political party and a country. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out: "Socialism with Chinese characteristics system is the fundamental institutional guarantee for the development and progress of contemporary China, and it is an advanced system with distinctive China characteristics, obvious institutional advantages and strong self-improvement ability." In the fight against the epidemic, the Supreme Leader General Secretary has repeatedly expressed strongly that under the strong leadership of the Communist Party of China (CPC), we are fully confident and capable of winning this epidemic prevention and control war by giving full play to the institutional advantages of Socialism with Chinese characteristics and relying on the people.

  During the "epidemic" war, the Supreme Leader General Secretary repeatedly stressed that the prevention and control of the epidemic should adhere to a national chess game. Party committees and governments at all levels must resolutely obey the unified command, coordination and dispatch of the CPC Central Committee, so that orders are prohibited. Under the personal command and deployment of the General Secretary, a central leading group for responding to the epidemic situation was quickly established, and a central steering group was dispatched to establish a joint prevention and control mechanism in the State Council; Take Wuhan and Hubei as the main battlefields in the country and strengthen the classification guidance for other provinces; Strengthen the emergency supply of medical materials and daily necessities, implement unified national dispatch for important materials, and ensure the supply of medical materials and daily necessities in key areas; Mobilize the best doctors, the most advanced equipment and the most urgently needed resources in the country to invest in the main battlefield … … Under the strong leadership of the CPC Central Committee, the strategic layout of unified command, comprehensive deployment and three-dimensional prevention and control has been rapidly formed throughout the country, effectively curbing the large-scale spread of the epidemic, effectively changing the dangerous process of virus transmission and protecting people’s lives and health to the utmost extent.

  "China’s socialist system has extraordinary organizational mobilization ability, overall coordination ability and implementation ability, and can give full play to the unique advantages of concentrating on doing great things, doing difficult things and doing urgent things," said General Secretary of the Supreme Leader proudly. In the fight against the epidemic, China went up and down, one side was in trouble, and all sides supported it, and the whole country made an unprecedented life rescue. Mobilize 346 national medical teams, 42,600 medical personnel and more than 900 public health personnel to help Hubei; It took more than 10 days to build the Volcano Mountain Hospital and Thunder God Mountain hospital, rebuild 16 shelter hospitals on a large scale, quickly open more than 600 centralized isolation points, and 19 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities helped 16 cities and states except Wuhan, with the best personnel, the most urgently needed resources and the most advanced equipment … …

  Those who share the same desire win, and those who are in the same boat win. Adhere to and improve the Socialism with Chinese characteristics system, promote the modernization of the national governance system and governance capacity, and be good at using institutional strength to cope with the impact of risk challenges, we will certainly be able to withstand repeated stress tests, and constantly turn crises into opportunities and be reborn.

  Respect science and follow the law

  "In the face of new infectious diseases that have never been known before, we uphold the scientific spirit and scientific attitude, and follow scientific laws throughout the whole process of decision-making, patient treatment, technical research, and social governance." General Secretary of the Supreme Leader spoke highly of respecting scientific laws.

  On the evening of January 18th, a high-level expert group gathered six academicians from China’s respiratory, epidemiology, critical care medicine, microbiology, disease prevention and control and other related disciplines rushed to Wuhan, with 84-year-old Zhong Nanshan as the team leader. The expert group was ordered to carry out on-the-spot investigation and put forward decision-making reference for the central government. The conclusion of the expert group’s investigation is: the phenomenon of human transmission in Covid-19. On January 22nd, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader made important instructions, demanding the immediate implementation of strict and closed traffic control over the flow of people and external passages in Hubei Province and Wuhan City.

  Persisting in seeking truth from facts, respecting science and following laws has been vividly demonstrated in the anti-epidemic struggle led by the CPC Central Committee. The General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out: "Throughout the history of human development, the most powerful weapon for human beings to compete with diseases is science and technology, and human beings can’t overcome major disasters and epidemics without scientific development and technological innovation." He stressed: "There are two fronts in the struggle to prevent and control the COVID-19 epidemic. One is the front line of epidemic prevention and control, and the other is scientific research and material production. The two fronts should cooperate with each other and fight side by side." He demanded that to win the epidemic prevention and control of the people’s war, the overall war and the blocking war, we must adhere to the principle of "asking science for answers and methods."

  Since the outbreak of the epidemic, under the call of the Supreme Leader General Secretary, it has become a common practice to respect, believe, rely on and apply science, and the scientific spirit and methods have been effectively implemented in all aspects of epidemic prevention and control and economic and social development. Whether it is to carry out large-scale nucleic acid detection, big data tracing and health code identification, or differentiated prevention and control by district and grading, and orderly promote the resumption of work and production, it is a respect and promotion of the scientific spirit, which has provided strong scientific and technological support for overcoming the epidemic.

  General Secretary of the Supreme Leader emphasized that "the key to ultimately defeating the epidemic depends on science and technology". The key to realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation also depends on science and technology. If science and technology are strong, the country will be strong, and if science and technology prosper, the country will prosper.

  Overall consideration and coordinated promotion

  On July 16th, the National Bureau of Statistics announced that the GDP in the second quarter increased by 3.2% year-on-year, and the quarterly economic growth rate of China reversed in a "V" shape! Behind the transformation from negative to positive is the strong leadership and scientific guidance of the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core.

  "Epidemic prevention and control is not just a medical and health problem, but an all-round work, which is an overall war", "Fighting epidemic prevention and control is actually a logistics support war". General Secretary of the Supreme Leader fully deployed epidemic prevention and control.

  At the beginning of the epidemic, masks, medical protective clothing and medical equipment were in emergency! After the "closed city" in Wuhan, more than 9 million people live in isolation, and they need to consume 5,400 tons of grain, 4,000 tons of vegetables and 1,200 tons of meat every day … … In order to ensure the basic supply of daily necessities, medical materials, electricity, water and heat in 1.4 billion Chinese and ensure the orderly operation of key industries related to the national economy and people’s livelihood, it is necessary to make overall plans for epidemic prevention and control and economic and social development. The General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out: "We accurately grasp the changes in the epidemic situation, base ourselves on the overall situation, focus on the overall situation, make major decisions in a timely manner to coordinate the prevention and control of the epidemic situation and economic and social development, adhere to prevention and control according to law and scientific prevention and control, and promote the implementation of zoning and grading to accurately resume work and production, and maximize the protection of people’s production and life."

  Since the outbreak of the epidemic, the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader has presided over many important meetings, visited Zhejiang and other places for investigation and research, and constantly put forward new requirements and made new arrangements for coordinating the prevention and control of the epidemic and economic and social development. He stressed that this year is the year of building a well-off society in an all-round way and the end of the 13th Five-Year Plan. Efforts should be made to minimize the impact of the COVID-19 epidemic, maintain stable economic operation and social harmony and stability, and strive to achieve the objectives and tasks set by the CPC Central Committee. He pointed out that the economy and society are a dynamic circulatory system and cannot be stopped for a long time. He demanded that areas with serious epidemic situations should concentrate on the prevention and control of epidemic situations, while other areas should do a good job in reform, development and stability while doing a good job in prevention and control, do a good job in three major battles, and comprehensively do a good job in "six stabilities"; Insist on accelerating the comprehensive recovery of production and living order in the prevention and control of normalized epidemic situation, and pay close attention to solving the difficulties and problems faced by returning to work and production … … The general secretary is full of confidence in China’s economic and social development: on the whole, the fundamentals of China’s long-term economic improvement have not changed, and the impact of the epidemic is short-term and generally controllable. As long as we turn pressure into motivation and are good at turning crises into opportunities, we can achieve the goals and tasks of economic and social development this year.

  Facts have verified the scientific judgment of the Supreme Leader General Secretary. China’s economic development has steadily improved, and the production and living order has steadily recovered, which has provided strong support for epidemic prevention and control. "China’s growth machine once again roared like before the COVID-19 epidemic." Germany’s "Der Spiegel" weekly website commented that "no other big country can do this".

  Overall planning is not only a measure, but also a method. Promoting epidemic prevention and control and all-round economic and social development as a whole is the vivid application of the methodology contained in Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought of the Supreme Leader in the new era in the fight against epidemic diseases.

  Stimulate the spirit and show the righteousness

  On March 15th, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader wrote back to all post-90s party member of Peking University Aid Hubei Medical Team, in which he wrote: "In the struggle for epidemic prevention and control in COVID-19, you young people, together with the vast number of epidemic prevention and control personnel who fought bravely in the front line, did not fear hardships, rushed ahead and gave up your life, which showed the vigorous strength of youth and handed over qualified answers."

  "People without spirit will not stand, and countries without spirit will not be strong. Only by standing spiritually and standing firmly can a nation stand firm in the torrent of history. " Overcoming the epidemic requires both a solid material foundation and strong spiritual support.

  In the fight against the epidemic, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader paid special attention to the inspiring role of spirit, especially to carrying forward the spirit of China, and rallying people’s hearts and strength with socialist core values and excellent Chinese traditional culture. He stressed: "Struggling with difficulties is both a material struggle and a spiritual confrontation." He praised the broad masses of medical workers for their lofty spirit of saving lives and caring for doctors, and the spirit of Wuhan people who are not afraid of sacrifice, have the courage to take responsibility, take care of the overall situation and are willing to contribute … … "These spirits are important manifestations of the spirit of the Chinese nation. We must sum them up and carry them forward." The general secretary pointed out that in this anti-epidemic struggle, we carried forward the socialist core values, and the people of all ethnic groups in the country worked together through thick and thin, patriotism, collectivism and socialist spirit were widely promoted, and a large number of heroic models emerged, creating a strong spiritual defense line of unity and unity.

  In the face of the national disaster, hundreds of millions of Chinese’s patriotism, ambition to serve the country and fearless spirit of sacrificing oneself for others and forgetting one’s life have been ignited and become a prairie fire. Anti-epidemic warriors on all fronts are fearless in the face of danger, regard death as their death, get clear in the face of difficulties, catch up at critical moments, go to the mission with their lives, and love all beings with great care. Among them, there are hospital directors who leave the hope of life to others and miss the treatment themselves, husbands who can never fulfill their wedding promises to their wives, and mothers who sacrifice their young children in the treatment post … … In the face of the epidemic, the people of China have not been intimidated. Instead, they used the feat of knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, preferring to walk in the mountains, and wrote a magnificent chapter, which cast a great anti-epidemic spirit and greatly enriched the connotation of the national spirit and the spirit of the times.

  Fate and common difficulties

  When the epidemic strikes, the whole world is cool and hot; Overcoming the epidemic will make people feel warm and cold. At about 18 o’clock on the evening of March 14th, an Italian old man raised his microphone at the top of a residential building in Rome, Italy, and said, "Although I don’t know if there are any neighbors in China, I want to sincerely thank this country and nation." Immediately, he played March of the Volunteers and shouted "Thanks to China", and the surrounding residents applauded. As the COVID-19 epidemic spread in Italy, China extended a helping hand. On the evening of March 12th, an expert group from China and 31 tons of medical supplies arrived in Rome. On March 13th, 26.4 tons of epidemic prevention materials raised by Zhejiang Province arrived in the northern Italian city of Turin … …

  The virus has no national boundaries, and the epidemic situation does not distinguish between races. COVID-19 epidemic has spread to more than 210 countries and regions around the world. As of September 14th, more than 28 million cases have been diagnosed and more than 900,000 people have died. The General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out: "The COVID-19 epidemic has warned the world in a special form that human beings are a community of destiny sharing weal and woe. No country can be immune to major crises, and unity and cooperation are the right path in the world."

  The General Secretary of the Supreme Leader has always attached great importance to and personally promoted international cooperation in the fight against epidemic diseases, and has had close communication and in-depth exchanges with many parties. As of August 31st, he had talked with more than 50 foreign leaders and heads of international organizations for more than 60 times, and attended or initiated the multilateral "Yunfeng Fair". He repeatedly stated that human beings are a community of shared destiny, public health security is a common challenge facing human beings, and major infectious diseases are the enemies of all mankind, which requires all countries to work together to strengthen international cooperation and jointly build a human health community; The Government of China has always been open, transparent and responsible, sharing its experience in prevention, control and treatment with WHO and the international community without reservation, actively carrying out international cooperation in fighting the epidemic, and resolutely safeguarding the life safety and health of the people in China and the people of all countries in the world. He put forward four proposals: resolutely fight a global war to prevent and control the COVID-19 epidemic, effectively carry out international joint prevention and control, actively support international organizations to play their role, and strengthen international macroeconomic policy coordination. This series of important propositions of the General Secretary highlights the responsibility of the leaders of big countries and provides China’s plan for international anti-epidemic.

  The road is not lonely, and love is boundless. Adhering to the concept of "one country under the sun", China actively fulfilled its international obligations: it informed the World Health Organization and relevant countries and regional organizations about the epidemic situation at the first time, released Covid-19 gene sequence and other information at the first time, announced the diagnosis and treatment plan and prevention and control plan at the first time, and carried out epidemic prevention and control exchange activities with many countries, international and regional organizations for more than 70 times … … China has done its best to provide assistance to the international community, launched the most intensive and extensive emergency humanitarian operation since the founding of New China, provided two batches of cash assistance totaling 50 million US dollars to the World Health Organization, sent 34 medical expert groups to 32 countries, provided 283 batches of anti-epidemic assistance to 150 countries and 4 international organizations, and provided and exported anti-epidemic materials &hellip to more than 200 countries and regions; … China’s action has injected a steady stream of impetus into the global epidemic prevention and control, and fully demonstrated the image of a big country that stresses faithfulness, values affection, upholds justice and upholds morality. "After the China COVID-19 vaccine is developed and put into use, it will be used as a global public product and make China contribution to the accessibility and affordability of vaccines in developing countries." On May 18th, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader solemnly announced to the world.

  “‘ As celestial bodies maintain vigor through movement, a gentleman should pursue constant self-improvement. ’ The reason why a nation is great is that it never gives up, does not shrink back, does not stop in the face of any difficulties and risks, and works tirelessly for its own future and destiny. The people of China and the Chinese nation, who have come from the suffering and glory of the development of civilization for more than 5,000 years, are bound to move forward on the great journey of the new era. No one and no force can stop the people of China from achieving a better life! " General Secretary of the Supreme Leader’s speech at the National Commendation Conference on Fighting against the COVID-19 Epidemic expressed the heartfelt wishes of the people of China and the Chinese nation.

Social Red Sea: Counting 19 Small Social Apps

The social Red Sea is constantly fighting, and many players still end up. The author counted 19 niche social apps to see if these niche products really found the blue ocean.

Social apps, especially strangers socializing, are already jealous. Acquaintances’ social interaction needs the precipitation of relationship chain, which is a zero-sum game-it is difficult to make a breakthrough after one family dominates.

When strangers socialize, there seem to be more dimensions that can be expanded.

Today, I will mainly talk about strangers’ socialization, and analyze the current red sea of strangers’ socialization from three aspects: people, media and form.

Socialization, no matter how you play, is still a person. So we analyze social apps, and the simplest thing is to start with people.

I have to say that the battle for social apps has put people’s external, internal and objective environment in place and used it thoroughly.

Representatives: Detective, tinder

The two apps are consistent from the gameplay to the design pixel level: according to the positioning, the nearby people are screened out, and the avatars are displayed in the form of cards. Left sliding is not interested, and right sliding likes it; If you happen to like each other, that is, you can have a one-on-one chat.

In fact, exploration and tinder can’t be called the originator of "judging people by their appearances", but this card design and gesture interaction are different from the previous concealment and directly put "judging people by their appearances" on the table.

Detective and tinder, which are currently profitable by "subscription" members, provide the following services: super liking, unlimited regret, arbitrary change of positioning and unlimited likes; Tinder has a little more items, and boost can give priority to the display of avatars in the region, select visible objects, and manage personal data to limit the visible content of others.

However, this match method is not without its shortcomings.

I used my brother’s head, and the result has never been matched. "Yan ugly refused" for a long time, and there is no other way to find friends on this APP, so I have to give up this APP.

The highly consistent pixel level of these two apps is also considered as an epic masterpiece in the plagiarism list. The plagiarists are also very helpless. It is extremely simple to dig the old stalk of "judging people by their appearances" with interactive new gameplay.

This kind of gameplay has little room for "learning", so that others can’t copy it. Followers can only wander before being shameless and proud, and finally choose to be shameless.

This card-type design, which uses left sliding and right sliding to interact, is really simple and direct. And the services provided by members just make up for some embarrassment of interaction.

From this point of view, simplicity to the extreme is also a great weapon.

  • Advantages: simple gameplay; Interaction is interesting.
  • Disadvantages: passive matching and uncontrollable waiting.
  • Suitable for the crowd: Yan control and Yan value confidence.

Representatives: as before, impression of friends, same, moment.

1) As usual

Make friends with three views, and when you first enter, there will be a basic test package, which contains some test questions about three views, taste and preference for making friends. Through the answers you submitted, find a friend who fits the three views.

However, this algorithm is still a black box and has not been published. I guess, if it is simple, these questions should have a classification. For each classification, if the score of one of the classifications is almost the same, two people can match.

There is also an "opinion square" in the middle where you can express your views by voting.

At present, no profit method has been found.

  • Advantages: it seems easier to find friends if the three views are consistent; Opinion Square voting expression is more interesting.
  • Disadvantages: the three views filled in are not true.
  • Suitable for the crowd: people who believe in the soul and are interesting.

The picture above is the same.

2) Impression of friends

Friends impression learning uses tinder’s card design and gesture interaction. There are two ways, one is to actively search through information cards, and the other is to passively match by answering questions.

Taking the initiative to find, unlike just looking at the face value, friends’ impressions also put text information such as mind-wandering questions and answers, latest impressions, and mate selection criteria on the card. Passive matching, the answer to the question is made into a card, which is the same as tinder’s interactive way. Right sliding likes it, and left sliding doesn’t like it (but this is the old version, and the new version is made into a chat form; The old and the new can be switched, probably because it is the old version, so it is not maintained very much. There are some problems in the interaction of sliding left and right, and sometimes it can’t slide).

Compared with the old version, the new version of the chat dialog box is not as interesting as before, but it is more in line with his gameplay. For example, you have to answer questions to participate, which is really better than before. However, because of the slow update of information, users lack a sense of control, which is also a drawback.

At present, no profit method has been found.

  • Advantages: For example, it goes further and directly matches the crowd through opinions. There are two ways: active and passive.
  • Disadvantages: the interface is not particularly nice.
  • Suitable for the crowd: heart-walkers.

3)same

Same’s gameplay is to choose the channel you are interested in, watch/post pictures and essays in the channel, and find the same hobbies as yourself-this way can be regarded as a kind of making friends through three views.

At present, no profit method has been found.

  • Advantages: according to the channel group discussion, the topic concentration is high, which is easy to cause discussion and management; The interface is more beautiful.
  • Disadvantages: Not yet.
  • Suitable for the crowd: there is no particularly unsuitable crowd.

4) a moment

There are many excellent articles and radio stations (and the design of an instant chat room). The biggest feature of this APP should be that the interface is very beautiful. Because the content is excellent, the UI made with these contents is also very good.

For example, the way to show the articles without pictures in the information flow is to use the default picture and mask, which enriches the information flow and marks the types, so that users can see at a glance.

At present, the way to make a profit is e-commerce, through buying people, cooperating, selling around the APP, etc. You can look at the product details page. Unlike the cold specification list, every product details page is almost an emotional article, waiting for the literary tonality of the APP.

  • Advantages: excellent content and exquisite design.
  • Disadvantages: the threshold is slightly higher.
  • Users: young artists.

Representative: celebrity circle of friends

The exploration of the inner world, in addition to the three views, also has hobbies. When socialization has become the standard of almost all apps, the apps in hobbies have not been missed.

Celebrity circle of friends is an APP in Wuhan, which mainly participates in and publishes role-related circle of friends through role-playing. The main users of this language cosplay product are teenagers aged 12-20.

Telling the truth, when I am older, I really can’t adapt to this thick youthful atmosphere. Whether you can’t get into Secondary Two or you don’t understand the sadness of 45 degrees, it’s a mistake to be old, because there will always be people who are young.

At present, the way to make a profit is to buy value-added products (gifts) in-app.

  • Advantages: the area is very rich, the characters are particularly many, and the gameplay is particularly simple.
  • Disadvantages: I haven’t found it yet.
  • Suitable for the crowd: young people who love cos.

Socializing in this Red Sea: Counting 19 Small Social Apps

The picture above shows the circle of celebrity friends.

Representatives: meetup, join

The gameplay of activities in the same city is basically the same, mainly publishing/viewing activities and actively participating.

Meetup focuses on activities, and the home page is almost a list of group and activities.

Join focuses on people, and the home page is divided into diaries and encounters. Diaries focus on post information flow and meet the list of main characters, mainly to discover people, classmates, fellow villagers and peers in the same city.

Join’s activity entrance is in the second tab, and the entrance is relatively hidden compared with meetup.

Comparatively speaking, join, as a social APP in the same city, focuses on making friends online, while meetup focuses on offline activities.

Compared with most people, the organization of activities in the same city is challenging, and participation is also limited in time and space. If almost all activities are displayed, meetup’s list in unpopular areas will be empty.

Users open meetup and have to abandon it without any activity. Join provides an option to make friends online, which solves this embarrassment.

As for the profit mode, it has not been found at present.

  • Advantages: join is laid out online and offline at the same time, which better solves the embarrassment when offline is insufficient.
  • Disadvantages: When meetup offline is insufficient, the home page will be empty and there will be no other ways to play, which will be embarrassing.
  • Suitable for the crowd: Zhai Qing (it is impossible to go out, and it is impossible to go out for a lifetime).

According to the published media, it can be divided into text, pictures, audio and video.

Representative: MarinChat

Text is basically the standard of all apps. And this MarinChat is simply a clean stream in social products, which is extremely simple-only words can be sent, and pictures are only used for the display of avatars.

You don’t need to register, you can post, reply and chat directly by setting your avatar and nickname.

Function, then only post, reply, chat, report.

  • Advantages: simple; If you don’t plan to save traffic, don’t cheat.
  • Disadvantages: Some people may not like this minimalist style.
  • Users: At present, I only see the Japanese version.

Representative: ins, We Heart It

There are many such apps, the most famous of which is ins, and pictures are standard for almost all social apps. Ins does not say much; We Heart It can write articles or publish pictures.

The main way of making profits is advertising at present.

  • Advantages: Beautiful pictures.
  • Disadvantages: writing articles can only be written on the computer.
  • Suitable for the crowd: all.

Socializing in this Red Sea: Counting 19 Small Social Apps

The picture above shows We Heart It.

Representative: Warm friends.

Warm friends, whether posting or commenting, are in the form of voice. There are rich interactive activities about sound, and the operation is better.

But something seems to have happened recently, so I can’t log in.

At present, no profit method has been found.

  • Advantages: pleasing to the ear.
  • Disadvantages: It takes longer to play audio than to watch text. And can’t watch at the same time like words; And the threshold for sending audio is higher than that for sending text.
  • Suitable for people: voice control.

Socializing in this Red Sea: Counting 19 Small Social Apps

The picture above shows warm friends.

  • Short video representative: Tik Tok;
  • Live representative: Mo Mo.

Needless to say, these two.

I have to admit that loneliness and desire to talk are time-sensitive.

Obviously, it is difficult to solve such a problem with the current message type information flow products or people lists, and an instant chat room is needed.

Representative: Rooit

After selecting the topic, match the chat object immediately. At present, the way to make a profit is to buy value-added products in the application, such as missing persons radar. Pairing will automatically fail if there is no interaction within 30 minutes. If you need to find the person who was paired before, you need to use the missing person radar.

  • Advantages: Random pairing, instant solution to the current chat needs.
  • Disadvantages: In order to avoid the initial embarrassing chat, you can add some topic cards that can be greeted in chat.
  • Suitable for the crowd: staying up late at night

Representative: wakie

Wakie is based on a theme, you can carry out group chat or join a specific group for group chat.

Sometimes, some simple design changes have changed the whole social atmosphere. For example, comments APPear in the form of chat boxes in this app, and each comment is a chat bubble.

Such a simple change directly erased the feeling of waiting, as if a group of people were discussing a topic in real time.

  • Advantages: the startup diagram is beautiful; Topic updates are faster.
  • Disadvantages: the topic lacks operation, and the user UGC is too arbitrary and not hot enough.
  • Suitable for people: learning languages; People who like to chat.

It is also the first time for me to know what peripheral resources are. I was always curious about where these scantily clad girls came from. After being told by my colleagues that they were peripheral resources, I suddenly realized.

In addition to Youjia, there are many such apps. I downloaded a lot at that time, and as soon as I opened it, it was all consistent in playing, paying for video chat and giving gifts.

The profit methods include in-app purchase and VIP.

  • Advantages: the gameplay is very simple, and there are peripheral resources that can be done directly, which feels quite profitable.
