Ministry of Communications: Continue to remove Didi Hitch from the shelves before completing the rectification of hidden dangers

  On November 28th, according to the WeChat official account of the Ministry of Transport, on the morning of the 28th, the Ministry of Transport held a news conference on the inspection of the special project of the online car ride-hailing type safety, in conjunction with the Central Network Information Office, the Ministry of Public Security and other departments, reported the inspection work. According to the report, Didi has 7 main problems, and continues to remove the Didi ride-hailing business before completing the rectification of potential safety hazards.

  Check the basics

  Since the beginning of this year, there have been cases of passengers being killed in Didi Hitch in Zhengzhou, Wenzhou and other places. The central leadership has attached great importance to it, and the social impact has been very bad.

  After the inter-ministerial joint meeting on the coordinated supervision of new business models of transportation, the Ministry of Transport, the Central Political and Legal Committee, the Central Network Information Office, the Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Public Security, the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Emergency Management, the People’s Bank of China, the General Administration of Market Supervision and other 10 departments formed a special project inspection working group for safety. From September 5th to 15th, Didi, Shouqi, Shenzhou, Cao Cao, Yidao, Meituan, TikTok, Autonavi and other 8 major online car-hailing and ride-hailing platform companies carried out joint security project inspections and went to Zhengzhou and Wenzhou to learn about the case.

  At the same time, all localities have also carried out safety inspections on other online car-hailing and ride-hailing platform companies in the region with reference to the form and content of ministerial-level inspections.

  In accordance with the decision-making and deployment of the State Council, the Ministry of Transport, together with relevant departments, has always adhered to the basic principles of people-centered and "encouraging innovation and standardized development" for new forms of transportation services such as online car-hailing, and implemented inclusive and prudent supervision. The special project inspection work adheres to the problem-oriented and goal-oriented, and in accordance with the principle of "comprehensive coverage and key points", "check the pulse of the physical examination and prescribe the right medicine" for the platform company, focusing on the platform company’s existing problems affecting public safety, passenger personal safety, information and other issues. At the same time, adhere to the rectification while inspection, urge and guide the platform company to check the problem, analyze the cause, make immediate changes, block security bugs, and effectively protect the safety of people’s lives and property.

  The main issues identified

  From the inspection, Didi mainly has the following seven problems:

  First, there are major security risks in Hitch products. There are risks of user personal information leakage and security risks, product "social" positioning induces major security risks, Hitch rules violate relevant national and local regulations, are suspected of illegally operating road passenger transportation, and the business fund settlement model is not compliant.

  The second is that the main responsibility for safety production is not in place. The safety management organization is not perfect, the safety management system has major deficiencies, the safety production responsibility system and the accident hidden danger investigation and management system have not been implemented, and the safety production costs have not been fully guaranteed. Safety management personnel have not passed the assessment and have not carried out driver training and education as required.

  Third, the problem of illegal operation of online car-hailing is prominent. There are a large number of unqualified illegal operations of platform companies, vehicles and drivers.

  Fourth, the foundation of emergency management is weak and inefficient. The formulation of emergency plans is unscientific, the system is not perfect, the emergency drills are not in place, the emergency management personnel are seriously insufficient, the customer service personnel are seriously insufficient, the emergency response efficiency is low, and the linkage mechanism with relevant departments is not perfect.

  Fifth, the risk of social stability is prominent. To promote the "rent-based purchasing" business, the operating rules such as order dispatch and distribution mechanism are opaque, and orders are changed day by day, which poses hidden dangers of instability.

  Sixth, the problem of public safety hazards is relatively large. The driver’s qualification and background review are not in place, the company’s offline management of people and vehicles is out of control, criminal security cases occur from time to time, the main responsibility of comprehensive social security management is missing, the early warning and cleaning of high-risk drivers are not in place, the abnormal itinerary and abnormal order cancellation are not effectively monitored and managed, and the APP safety function settings are not perfect.

  Seventh, there are hidden dangers in Internet information security. There are loopholes in information systems, hidden dangers and risks of being attacked by external hackers and unauthorized access by internal employees; data grading and classification management requirements are not strictly implemented, and user personal information is stored in plain text; information security responsibilities of employees in important departments and positions are not implemented effectively, and specific measures are not enough; Insufficient management and training of employees in information security.

  For the other seven platform companies, the main issues identified during the inspection included:

  First, the compliance rate of online car-hailing is still insufficient. Some "asset-heavy" platform companies have high compliance rates for their own vehicles, but some "asset-light" companies have low compliance rates. Second, safety production management needs to be strengthened urgently. There are problems to varying degrees in implementing the main responsibility of safety production, signing safety production responsibility letters at every level, and strengthening safety production education and training.

  Third, there are deficiencies in public security prevention. There is a general lack of dynamic management of the background situation of vehicles and drivers, and security protection technology needs to be improved. Fourth, there are hidden risks in Internet information security. Some companies have not implemented the relevant work of grade protection as required, the data grading classification management regulations are not clear, and the management and training of internal information security of enterprises are insufficient. Fifth, some product capital settlement models are not compliant, and there are capital security risks.

Ice and snow test drive Geely CMA architecture series shrimp farmers’ cultivation

  [Aika car test drive original]

  In the dead of winter, the ice lake in the northeast is always busy. Some people dig ice nets to catch fish, while others are busy "catching shrimp households" (drifting). In yakeshi at -30℃, the ice thickness has reached 120cm. In previous years, the lens drifting in a piece of white was always contracted by others. Now, we have also opened the right to enjoy the ice, bringing "China Xinggan Elite Driving School Ice and Snow Season". Can I graduate if I take part in the ice and snow test drive for the first time?

  This time Geely assembled all the models of CMA architecture series — — (|) (Hi·X petrol-electric hybrid version with thunder spirit engine), (|) and (|) are China stars and all-stars.

Ice and snow test drive Geely CMA architecture series

  There are three courses in elite driving school: elite, advanced and master. From basic skills to ultimate challenges, the difficulty is gradually increasing. The activity is located in Hulunbeier Winter Automobile Test Site of China Automobile Center, and readers who have read the articles on ice and snow test drive should be familiar with it.

  Experience items: snow linear acceleration, snow linear braking, snow winding pile.

  Model: Xingrui

  Driving mode: front drive

  Powertrain: 2.0T(140kW, 300Nm)+7DCT

  Elite courses mainly cultivate "ice sense". For me, who is used to relying on static friction, it is the first step to lighten and soften the actions I do on asphalt pavement on weekdays. The test drive of Xingrui changed the snow tires, and the basic grip was improved. A series of operations such as acceleration and braking can be easily completed by properly controlling the rhythm.

  When winding the pile, the ESC is on. I slow down the initial speed to 40-45km/h, and the steering range is half a turn as before. The front of Xingrui can easily keep up with my hand movements, and the rear of Xingrui obediently follows rather than catches up, which is stable and controllable.

  Driving mode: front four-wheel drive

  Powertrain: 2.0T(175kW, 350Nm)+8AT.

Ice and snow test drive Geely CMA architecture series

  Advanced courses mainly teach drift skills. In order to stretch the grip, all test drive models are equipped with nail tires. The most basic project is ice ring drift. During the demonstration, the coach has been emphasizing the importance of "repair". After drifting, the vehicle can draw a circle by constantly repairing the direction and the throttle. Listening is one thing, but doing it is another. When I stepped on the accelerator deeply and entered the direction, I quickly fell into several novice misunderstandings.

Ice and snow test drive Geely CMA architecture series

  If you drive too fast, you will spin in the same place; If you hit too much, you will rush out of the ice ring; If the adjustment is too slow, you will have no posture … … In short, the coordination of throttle and direction is the most important detail for ice novices to practice. Don’t fall into the self-doubt that "you think you have learned, but in fact you have failed to learn". Relax your mind and "cut" the ice ring into several sectors and barely draw a semicircle.

  Xingyue S provides ESC OFF mode with little interference to drift. However, due to the large steering ratio of vehicles, novices often need to make large-angle corrections, which inevitably leads to some confusion. After several groups of practice, I actually feel like I just finished dancing Pamela.

  Experience items: 8-square, high-speed U-bend.

  Model: Xingyue L

  Driving mode: front four-wheel drive

  Powertrain: 2.0T(175kW, 350Nm)+8AT.

  Xingyue L has no ESC OFF, only ESC motion mode. Fortunately, its handling is not much discounted, quantitative sliding is allowed, and when the intersection changes direction, the car body tends to be stable and will not form a large backlash.

  "Scandinavian cornering" used in high-speed U-bend refers to the action of destroying the center of gravity by swinging the car body, and then realizing the floating by shifting the center of gravity. The specific operation steps are to slow down before entering the bend and turn the steering wheel in the opposite direction of entering the bend. When the front of the car faces the outside of the bend, turn the steering wheel to Apex immediately to shift the center of gravity of the car body, so that the rear of the car slides. The front wheels of four-wheel drive vehicles will have power output, so the counter-hitting action to maintain drift after drifting should not be too big.

It is suspected that the iPhone 16 series mobile phone case is exposed, and there is an additional opening under the power button.

According to supply chain sources,Apple iPhone 16The lens film of the new /Pro series andcell phoneThe shell style has been exposed. Although the authenticity of these pictures has not been confirmed, they can be used as a reference.

As you can see from the picture,iPhone The 16/Plus is equipped with a vertical dual-camera design, while the iPhone 16 Pro/Max is equipped with three cameras. This is in line with previous revelations. In addition, there is a striking opening on the phone case, under the power button. The whistleblower Majin Bu also released a product claiming to be a protective case for the iPhone 16 Pro. He said that the lens module on the protective case is larger, and a new opening is also seen on the side of the protective case.

Overall, the above information has not been officially confirmed, but considering Apple’s consistent design style and the results of multiple channels, these lens films and phone case designs are likely to become part of the real machine. As for the specific product details and functional configurations, we still need to wait for Apple’s official release to know.

Hu Ge’s "Flowers" stills premiered, and the emotional creation of A Bao’s monologue was praised by Wang Jiawei

Hu Ge

Produced and directed by Wang Jiawei, written by Qin Wen, and starring Hu Ge, the drama "Flowers" was recently exposed for the first time. The afterglow is red, and the style of the times is slightly revealed. Hu Ge (as Bao) sat alone on the ridge, looking out into the distance, the times are boiling, and it is difficult to hide the story in his heart. Some carefree, some melancholy, the tiles are warm, and it is just right to drink alone.

"That day, I sat on the back of a goldfish, but it didn’t move. (Signed) Bao." It is reported that this passage was made by Hu Ge after filming the scene, and after filming, he wrote it and sent it to the director Wang Jiawei. There is another paragraph earlier, "Betty likes to climb the roof with me the most. She said that every house with red tiles is a goldfish. She also said that the wind is water, and when the wind blows, every house swims." After reading it, the director Wong Jiawei praised "Hu Ge is Bao."

The drama "Flowers" is based on the novel of the same name that won the award for the famous writer Jin Yucheng Mao Dun Literature Prize. The drama will revolve around Bao (played by Hu Ge). In the early 1990s, in the bright era, everyone competed for the upper reaches, and Bao also became Mr. Bao. He has succeeded and failed, and left a legend among the trendsetters in Shanghai. There have been golden wonders, there have been long streams, men and women, ups and downs, all the love and truth of an era. Everyone thinks that Bao Zong can eat and determine the future, but no one knows Bao’s past. There, dreams are piled up, and a goldfish suddenly appears.

As an authentic Shanghai actor, after the official announcement of Hu Ge as Bao in the drama "Flowers", he has been widely expected and praised. It is agreed that his unique temperament and growth background are undoubtedly not as good as Bao’s character setting. As an authentic daughter of Shanghai, Qin Wen, who has won the Magnolia Award for Best Screenplay at the 24th Shanghai TV Festival, will present the most authentic taste of Shanghai with unique brushstrokes. The depths of the flowers bloom and fall, and the wonders of the sea are full of sadness and joy.

In order to explore the true picture of Shanghai and capture the sound of the times, from the city’s ups and downs to the daily changes of food, clothing, housing and transportation, the drama "Flowers" created by Zedong Film ingenuity is all exquisite. In order to truly restore the true colors of the times, the drama will be built 1:1 in real scenes to immersively reproduce the scenery of Shanghai and Shanghai in the past. In addition, Bao Dexi, who has won the Best Cinematography Award at the 73rd Academy Awards, is invited as the visual director to reproduce the Shanghai night of "City Light", and the sounds and colors of flowers and leaves will be presented one by one.

The drama is currently being filmed in Shanghai and will be available to audiences in the future.

"Galaxy Tutorial School": Not good enough, but sincere

  Reminder: This article is a serious spoiler!

  In this summer season full of surprises, "Galaxy Tutoring School" has become the biggest seed and "bailout" work. The screening and publicity path of "Galaxy Tutoring School" is very similar to the biggest winner of last summer’s "I am not the God of Medicine". Two months before its release, "Galaxy Tutoring School" held an advanced screening on Father’s Day, and before its official release, it also launched several consecutive days of screening in many cities across the country. The advance and large-scale film reflects the creators’ confidence in the quality of the film, and they hope that through the accumulation of good reputation, they will usher in an explosion after the official release.

  "Galaxy Tutorial School" poster. Originally set for July 26, but later raised to July 18

  But there was no denying that many people did not trust the names of the director column "Deng Chao and Yu Baimei" at the beginning. After all, the embarrassment of the "Breakup Master" and "Villain Angel" co-directed by the two people was still lingering. Can "Galaxy Tutorial School" make the audience admire the director Deng Chao?

  Big Dreams: Ma Fei’s Space Ideal

  If it is simply summarized, "Galaxy Tutoring School" is a movie about education and fatherhood. But in detail, its timeline is quite long, spanning from 1990 to 2019, and it also contains three clear narrative threads. Each narrative thread will be integrated in the specific analysis below, involving very serious spoilers, please read carefully.

  The first narrative line of the movie: In 2019, Ma Fei (played by Bai Yu) is the youngest astronaut in China. He follows the manned spaceship to the sky for a mission, but the spaceship is hit by a UFO and loses contact with the ground. The spaceship is in danger, and the astronauts may not be able to return. In the greatest desperate situation of life, Ma Fei recalls his most amazing father.

  When an adult horse flies, he becomes an astronaut

  The spaceship will definitely go back in the end. In the drama creation, the protagonist is in a dangerous situation, and what wants to highlight is the protagonist’s aura of saving from danger. And "Galaxy Tutoring School" also cleverly links this with China’s aerospace industry, patriotism, and the rise of a great power, giving the film the temperament of a gift film.

  So, how did Ma Fei survive the danger?

  In the critical moment, he remembered his father Ma Haowen (Deng Chao, played) once taught him, "Don’t admit defeat" and "always think", and how he escaped with the encouragement of his father during the catastrophic flood in 1998. In different time and space, his father’s teachings are just as effective, and Ma Fei solved the crisis of the spaceship.

  Ma Fei’s Space Rescue

  It needs to be mentioned that the movie is very scribbled and endless when dealing with Ma Fei’s sky self-rescue. After a while, life and death are rendered there, but the process of Ma Fei getting out of the cabin is very easy.

  Since Ma Haowen’s influence on Ma Fei is so great – astronauts can only carry one thing with them in space, and Ma Fei also took away the globe made of football that Ma Haowen gave him; why was Ma Fei’s family seat empty when the spacecraft set off? Why didn’t Ma Haowen personally show up to see the child off?

  The football globe held by the young boy Ma Fei is the most important "token" between him and his father.

  Because Ma Fei felt that Ma Haowen’s "dark history" would affect his bright future. This enters the second important main line of the story, the "dark history" of his father Ma Haowen.

  The Harsh Reality: The History of Ma Haowen’s Misfortune

  It is not so much a "black history" as a history of suffering.

  Wei Wei is familiar with "Asian Heroes". On the eve of the 1990 Beijing Asian Games, the Torch Relay movement was carried out in Dongpei City (the fictional city in the movie). Ma Haowen, as the construction engineer of Dongpei Bridge, also became a torchbearer, and he would run across Dongpei Bridge with the torch. But in the live TV broadcast and the attention of many people, the Dongpei Bridge, which had not yet been opened to traffic, collapsed.

  Ma Haowen used to be a successful engineer

  Ma Haowen took the blame for the entire design institute and was imprisoned. His wife Xinyu (Ren Suxi, played) divorced him, and the teenager Ma Fei was also bullied by his peers. It was already 1997 when he was released from prison early after commuting his sentence. After his release, Ma Haowen was ridiculed, criticized and insulted by his former friends and colleagues. He struggled to find information, write a complaint letter, and go to court, but there was no way to appeal.

  Ma Haowen has no way to appeal

  This is the sharpest part of the movie, which contains various criticisms of reality: the sophistication, calculation, indifference, and cruelty of the human heart; the contempt and neglect of the rights and interests of the little people by the arrogant and rigid administrative organs, and the habitual "kicking of the ball" to their demands… The idealism portrayed in the movie may be illusory, but these real predicaments that Ma Haowen faces will make the audience feel the same: Why is it so difficult for an ordinary person to live calmly and with dignity?

  Ma Haowen persisted for more than 20 years, and the case finally had a bright moment. When Ma Haowen came to Ma Fei’s base for the first time and told him the news, what made Ma Haowen cold and unexpected was that Ma Fei persuaded him to give up the appeal. Because Ma Fei’s leader (Wu Jing, played) told him that the astronaut would become the focus, his birth experience would be dug up, and Ma Haowen’s past would become some kind of "obstacle" to Ma Fei.

  Ma Haowen told Ma Fei that he thought his education of Ma Fei was a success, but now he found that he failed. He did not expect his son to despise his insistence for more than 20 years – to restore his innocent reputation – for his own future and interests. Ma Fei is not unaware of the hardships and hardships he has endured for this.

  Although this clue is not the main point of the movie – many viewers may have ignored it in tears, but in my opinion, it is the most colorful chapter of the whole movie. It is a hard core hidden under the positive energy and sensational shell of this movie. If you bite it, you will be stung.

  It even deconstructs the educational idealism of the entire film: How are egoists who are filled with the adult world or delicate or crude are cultivated? Why can the quality-oriented education that Ma Haowen insists on not prevent Ma Fei from becoming selfish? Could it be that the grand cause is important, and the rights and interests of an ordinary person can be ignored?

  These all point to deeper issues, and it’s all up to the heart to understand.

  The ideal education: Galaxy cram school

  How did Ma Haowen train Ma Fei to become an astronaut? This was the core narrative thread of the movie, which took the most time and was the most colorful. It was also the origin of the movie’s title.

  When Ma Fei was young, his teachers thought that his brain was lacking. After Ma Haowen was imprisoned, Ma Fei was bullied, and his mother and stepfather were busy with business sending him to boarding school. Ma Fei became a runaway wild horse. He was the last in his class, read Jin Yong’s novels in class, often missed class, and was expelled by the director of the teaching department Yan (Li Jianyi, played).

  When Ma Fei was expelled, it was the day Ma Haowen was released from prison. After his ex-wife begged Director Yan to no avail, Ma Haowen made a bet with Director Yan in front of many teachers and students. Director Yan said that if Ma Fei was in the top 10 of the final exam class, he would not be expelled. Ma Haowen said: Not the top 10 in the class, but the top 10 in the grade.

  This moment is very hot, and it also constitutes the biggest suspense in the movie: Can Ma Haowen really make Ma Fei, the last in the class, enter the top 10 in the grade?

  Director Yan represented the older generation of educators who had gone through years of hardship and changed their destiny through education. They believed in the set of exam-oriented education, where grades were supreme and the college entrance examination was fixed for life. Therefore, there were only a few things in Director Yan’s educational "arsenal": more homework + sticks + a sense of shame. He looked down on bad students and regarded Ma Fei as a thorn in his side.

  Ma Haowen’s understanding of education was completely opposite to Director Yan’s. Although it was 1997, Ma Haowen’s education method was far ahead of that era, and even today, it is still ahead of its time.

  It is first and foremost an encouraging education. It is not to inspire the child’s sense of shame (as Ma Fei’s mother said, "This child is like this, it is hopeless"), but to sincerely believe that the child is a genius. Ma Haowen told Ma Fei, "You are the smartest child on earth." When he said this, he was not perfunctory, but his eyes were full of light, full of trust and firmness, which allowed Ma Fei to build up his confidence. Even after betting that Ma Fei’s first exam was fifth from the bottom of the class, Ma Haowen praised his son as great, and improved compared with the original last.

  Ma Haowen kept telling Ma Fei, "You are the smartest child on earth"

  Ma Haowen did not urge Ma Fei to study much. When Ma Fei asked him whether to sleep or read a book, he let Ma Fei make his own decision. The school assigned too much homework, and he also let Ma Fei love to complete it or not. In Ma Haowen’s opinion, children’s interest in learning is the most important. At the stage of their strongest learning ability, the heavy learning load every day will make them lose interest in learning and feel tired.

  Just like at the end of the college entrance examination, senior high school students were tearing books frantically, and the pieces of paper fell like snowflakes. Director Yan thought this was a kind of release for the children. Ma Haowen asked, If senior high school students can’t wait to tear books, do they really love learning? Do they still have enthusiasm for learning?

  When Ma Haowen asked Ma Fei what his learning goal was, Ma Fei said, "Go to Tsinghua University and Peking University." Ma Haowen said no, this is the process, not the goal, and what he wants to do in the future is the answer. Then Ma Haowen said the "golden sentence", "Life is like archery, dreams are like archery targets. If you can’t even find the target, what’s the point of pulling your bow every day?"

  Ma Haowen understands that the purpose of learning is not for the temporary college entrance examination, the child’s interests and goals are the end of learning. Therefore, even though the final exam is coming soon, he still takes the child to "skip class" (the leave was rejected by Director Yan) for half a month to go to the aerospace exhibition. The head teacher Xiao Gao (Wang Xi, played) said that the final exam is the most important moment in Ma Fei’s life. Ma Haowen said: No, there is no most important moment. The most important moments in his life should be evenly distributed every minute and every second of his day.

  In the final exam, Ma Fei really entered the top 10 of the grade, and his love for aerospace also contributed to his dream of aerospace.

  defect

  Obviously, in terms of differences in educational concepts, the film stood on Ma Haowen’s side. In several debates between Ma Haowen and Director Yan, Director Yan was defeated. The film also exaggerated Director Yan’s "unreasonable" and "deified" the feasibility of Ma Haowen’s education for Ma Fei.

  In other words, the film’s discussion of exam-oriented education and quality-oriented education is simplified; its advocacy of quality-oriented education is too idealistic. The simplest reality is that the vast majority of civilian parents, without Ma Haowen’s ideas and insights, are exhausted, unlike Ma Haowen who could afford nearly 10,000 yuan of 586 computers for his children in the late 1990s, and have time to take their children on a half-month trip. And most children are also ordinary, and it is impossible to be like Ma Fei who can enter the top 10 of the grade in one semester without much study or review. In the case of uneven education quotas, exam-oriented education is still the best choice for ordinary families. You have to take the exam first to have more freedom of choice.

  At the same time, the movie’s understanding of homework, exams, etc. is also very narrow. Ma Haowen’s comparison of steamed buns seems reasonable, but it is actually a little nonsense. Repeated steamed buns are indeed not delicious, but for most children with poor learning ability, they do have to be strengthened through repeated preview, review and homework to improve their understanding of knowledge. Although Ma Haowen has always wanted Ma Fei to learn ideas and methods, not just knowledge, knowledge is the premise of ideas and methods. The most basic knowledge is not firmly mastered and the foundation is not solid. What about further ideas and methods?

  The director took it for granted too much, which determined that the influence of "Galaxy Tutoring School" on reality is very limited. It simply understands the current many educational issues, simply understands the differences in educational concepts, and does not touch the complex national conditions behind education in the slightest. It involves factors such as the duality of urban and rural areas, uneven educational quotas, cultural segregation of education, and difficulties in class mobility. On the contrary, there is such a suspicion that the educational problems with the nature of social problems are pushed to the parents, and become the parents’ personal concept problems.

  Any parent who has been coerced into an education competition knows that there are many involuntary moments. As Ma Haowen’s ex-wife in the movie yelled, "Ma Fei is not your experiment." Few parents dare to experiment with their children’s future.

  The essence of education is not as simple as believing in children or not

  The conceptual level also affects the narrative level. Most of the characters in the movie are very flat, and they go to the end in one line, without any human hesitation. Like Ma Haowen, he is sure that his education of Ma Fei will be successful, but when he thinks of the situation where he was wronged and damaged, he has not worried about what kind of world Ma Fei will face when he grows up. The flatness of the characters serves that every turn and every touch in the narrative can reach the audience. Under the strong soundtrack, some parts of the movie are indeed tear-jerking, and it is very easy to cry, but it is over when the crying is over.

  "Galaxy Tutoring School" could have been better. If the three threads interact with each other, rather than independently of each other, it can be a masterpiece to reach the real problem. As mentioned earlier, the second thread is the most colorful chapter in the movie. It is precisely because the director makes the three threads interact with each other. "The cruel reality" is dismantling the "grand dream" and "ideal education". The selfishness of the adult Ma Fei slaps Ma Haowen in the face, giving us a glimpse of something more powerful that affects education/reality. Although the director handles it this way, it may just be a simple suppression first and then a promotion, allowing the father and son to have a sublimation in their feelings.

  Better than sincerity

  Even so, "Galaxy Tutoring School" is still the best film co-directed by Deng Chao and Yu Baimei so far. It has many flaws, but it also has a valuable advantage: seriousness/sincerity.

  The film’s time span is very long, and it reflects many major historical nodes in the 1990s, such as the Beijing Asian Games in 1990, the Asian Football Cup in 1992, the return of Hong Kong in 1997, and the flood in 1998. The director cleverly strung the whole story through a few familiar songs in the 1990s, such as Wei Wei’s "Asian Majestic Wind", Mao Amin’s "Desire", Han Lei’s "Walk Around", Liu Huan’s "Bending Moon", Chen Ming’s "Happy Home", and Leslie Cheung’s "Love of the Year". There is a strong sense of nostalgia.

  The film’s reflections on education are immature, but also very sincere. This part reflects the growing experience of Deng Chao and Yu Baimei, as well as their current experience as fathers educating their children. Therefore, the film has Deng Chao’s "class limitations". I remember he said before that he should not give children cram schools, but let children have a happy childhood. This concept is of course not wrong for people in Deng Chao’s class, but if it is promoted to everyone as a concept, it will reveal a childish side.

  And sincerity is even more reflected in the father-son relationship in the movie. Although the movie uses educational reflection as the "bone", it uses the father-son relationship as the "flesh"; one of the movie’s slogans is, "Dedicated to the father, for the child". The movie also has the feelings of the two directors as sons/fathers, full of their love for their respective fathers and children. The father-son relationship fills most of the details in the movie, which is true, delicate, moving, and tear-jerking.

  It should be admitted that Deng Chao as an actor is much more attractive than Deng Chao as a variety MC, and variety shows consume a lot of people’s knowledge of the actor Deng Chao. One of the fundamental reasons why this movie stands up is that Deng Chao convincingly portrays the great father Ma Haowen, and interprets his unconditional "trust" and "love" for his son. Many of Ma Haowen’s lines are very chicken soup and empty, but Deng Chao’s body, expression, eyes, and speech skills make these slightly empty things fall to the ground. Ma Haowen really "believes", and everything is natural.

  Deng Chao’s behind- the-scene photos when taking close-up shots, his eyes are very infectious

  The screenwriter also condensed too many dramatic and strong plots in Ma Haowen, such as selling blood, being beaten by gangsters in order to protect his son, and searching for children in the flood. Every point is very tearful. Ma Haowen once said to Ma Fei, "The bridge will collapse, but Dad will not collapse." He silently endured all the injustices and suppression that fate gave him, and then showed the best qualities that a father should have in front of his children: bravery, confidence, wisdom, and not admitting defeat.

  During the flood, the moment when Ma Haowen and his son were separated was a moment when many viewers grabbed paper towels

  As far as the author is concerned, I would give "Galaxy Tutoring School" 70 points. This is a film with obvious flaws, whether it is the scribbling of the space line, the deliberate pandering with a little fake space, the redundancy of the emotional line between Ma Haowen and Teacher Xiao Gao, which can be completely eliminated, or the exaggerated portrayal of Director Yan and the naive thinking about education issues. But we should also see how rare it is for a film of the size of "Galaxy Tutoring School" to be released smoothly in this not peaceful summer season. It is "playing tricks", but it is also "balancing": Deng Chao and Yu Baimei will be the type of directors that investors like the most, because they are "safe" and profitable.

  It is not a shameful thing to be a "moderate-minded person" and produce commercial blockbusters that are seriously lacking in the market. On the contrary, it is very important for the Chinese film market – just like the summer season, you have to rely on "Galaxy Tutoring School" to "save the file". The ideal ambition of film critics should not be expected to be realized by a movie for themselves. What’s more, if you carefully consider Ma Haowen’s injustice line, combined with the "betrayal" of the adult Ma Fei to his father, you can still feel a lot of complexity about reality.

  "The Galactic School" is not the best realist work of its kind, but it belongs to realism.

315 Cases | Ten Typical Cases of Consumers’ Association’s Maintenance of Consumer Fairness in 2020-2021

In order to thoroughly implement the spirit of the Sixth Plenary Session of the Nineteenth CPC Central Committee and the Central Economic Work Conference, adhere to the people-centered development idea, promote common prosperity in high-quality development, promote social fairness and justice, and safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of consumers, the China Consumers Association has determined "2020-2021" on the basis of cases submitted by local consumer associations and recommendations by relevant experts.Ten typical cases of annual consumer association organization maintaining consumer fairness. "

In 2020-2021, the top ten typical cases of consumer justice organized by Consumers Association covered the current hot issues of consumer rights protection, including the inability to shut down the startup advertisement of smart TV, the compulsory tying of gas insurance by gas companies, the difficulty of refunding the loan due to the low-cost drainage of photo studios, the difficulty of stopping the business of training institutions without authorization, the charging of tolls for car maintenance parts, the tattoo of minors without the consent of guardians, the delay of refund due to force majeure by foreign airlines, and the difficulty of making an appointment for pre-sale foot bath bags.

These cases reflect the unfair phenomena in the field of consumption from different angles, such as compulsory transactions, unfair and unreasonable charges, overlord clauses and unfair treatment. Operators should take this as a warning, be honest and trustworthy, abide by public morality, be good at science and technology, operate according to law, care for the weak, treat each other equally, do not abuse their dominant position, and do not use technical means to infringe, and truly implement the principle of fairness in all aspects of production, publicity, contract, sales and after-sales, so that consumers can feel substantive fairness.

Consumption fairness is an important embodiment of social fairness and an important content of achieving common prosperity. When purchasing goods or receiving services, consumers have the right to obtain fair trading conditions such as quality assurance, reasonable price and correct measurement, and have the right to refuse the compulsory trading behavior of operators. China Consumers Association calls on all relevant sectors of society to take active actions to urge operators to strictly implement legal provisions, earnestly assume social responsibilities, pay more attention to the protection of consumers’ rights and interests, jointly promote consumer fairness, and constantly enhance consumers’ sense of acquisition, happiness and security.

Case 1: Public interest litigation case in which smart TV startup advertisements cannot be closed.

[Brief introduction of the case]

Since the second half of 2019, Jiangsu Consumer Rights Protection Committee will carry out a series of investigations, interviews and litigation actions to protect the rights of smart TVs. On December 12, 2019, Lerong Zhixin Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of LeTV, which refused to rectify, filed a consumer civil public interest lawsuit in accordance with the law, requesting the court to order the defendant to provide the smart TVs with boot advertisements that it sold with the function of turning off the boot advertisements with one button. After the first trial of Nanjing Intermediate People’s Court and the second trial of Jiangsu Higher People’s Court, in March 2021, Jiangsu Consumer Protection Committee won the case. During this period, Jiangsu Consumer Protection Committee and china electronic chamber of commerce jointly issued the group standard "Technical Specification for Smart TV Start-up Advertising", which is conducive to better leading the healthy development of smart TV industry.

[Expert Comments]

The widespread problem that the startup advertisement can’t be closed in the smart TV industry has been criticized by the society. Consumers’ Association launched a series of actions against this hot consumption issue, urged many operators with similar behaviors to rectify, and filed public interest litigation against enterprises involved who refused to rectify, which played a good educational warning role, effectively safeguarded consumer fairness, protected the legitimate rights and interests of many unspecified consumers, and promoted the development of related industry norms.

[Guidelines for Rights Protection]

Smart TV power-on advertisements are forcibly implanted and cannot be closed, which seriously affects consumers’ viewing experience, and also violates "operators shall not send commercial information to consumers without their consent or request, or consumers expressly refuse" and "using the Internet to send and publish advertisements shall not affect users’ normal use of the network. Advertisements published in the form of pop-ups on Internet pages should be marked with a closing sign to ensure one-click closure. Operators of smart products should establish the value concept of science and technology for good, operate in good faith and abide by the law, ensure consumers enjoy equal consumption rights, and put an end to the use of technical means to implement compulsory transactions.

Case 2: Compulsory tying gas insurance case of gas company

[Brief introduction of the case]

On March 31, 2021, Mr. Xia, a consumer in Yunmeng County, Xiaogan City, Hubei Province, complained that when he applied for natural gas installation, the staff of the gas company forced consumers to buy gas insurance 300 yuan first, otherwise they would not install gas equipment. After Mr. Xia was forced to pay the fee, the gas company did not issue an invoice or receipt. After receiving the complaint, Yunmeng Consumer Council interviewed the gas company and pointed out that it is its due obligation to install natural gas equipment. Whether to buy gas insurance should be chosen by consumers, and the gas company has no right to force it. After mediation, the gas company refunded the consumers’ gas insurance fees, and rectified the problem of compulsory bundling.

[Expert Comments]

Compulsory tying in the field of public services not only harms the rights and interests of many consumers, but also is suspected of violating the Anti-Monopoly Law. Gas companies engaged in business activities shall not abuse their dominant market position, force tying or attach unreasonable trading conditions to transactions. Consumers’ associations perform their duties according to law, urge operators to correct illegal acts, effectively correct unfair consumption and safeguard the interests of many consumers.

[Guidelines for Rights Protection]

Consumers have the right to fair trade according to law and have the right to refuse the compulsory trading behavior of operators. Operators shall protect the legitimate rights and interests of consumers, and shall not set unfair and unreasonable trading conditions or force transactions. When consumers ask for purchase vouchers or service documents such as invoices, operators must issue them. Because of its public welfare nature, the state has invested public resources in the field of public services, and operators should pay more attention to the fairness of consumption, and must not arbitrarily bundle and charge fees on the basis of state statutory fees in violation of the law, thus harming the legitimate rights and interests of consumers.

Case 3: Low-cost drainage of photo studio induces the handling of consumer loans.

[Brief introduction of the case]

In December, 2019, two college students signed up for the advertisement of Yan Yu Photography Company to experience costume photography for 19.9 yuan on a short video. After arriving at the store, I couldn’t stand the salesman’s promotion. I signed a photography order agreement of 1,100 yuan and a "supplementary agreement" of 1,588 yuan and 24,000 yuan to upgrade clothes, films and photo albums. The clerk also guided the two people to open the online loan service to borrow money for consumption. In the end, the two paid most of the expenses, leaving 5,900 yuan unpaid. During the filming and the night of departure, the two repeatedly proposed to delete photos and lower the package standard, which was rejected by the store for various reasons. In the absence of mediation, the Shanghai Consumer Protection Committee will guide the Hongkou District Consumer Protection Committee to support consumer prosecution. In February, 2021, Shanghai Hongkou Court decided to cancel the 1100 yuan order agreement and 24,000 yuan supplementary agreement signed by both parties, and the photo studio returned 18,600 yuan to consumers. The studio also promised to modify the terms of the contract format, so that customers can unconditionally cancel the contract within 24 hours after signing the contract.

[Expert Comments]

In the name of low-cost experience, merchants attract consumers to place orders by means of short videos and other promotional channels. In fact, in the process of providing services, they heavily induce consumers to increase prices and upgrade, make consumption decisions that go against their true intentions, and even induce college students to handle consumer loans beyond their ability to repay loans, which seriously damages the legitimate rights and interests of consumers. Consumers’ Association supported consumers to win the lawsuit by requesting the support of the district procuratorate and contacting the district judicial bureau to appoint public interest lawyers, which effectively safeguarded consumers’ legitimate rights and interests and promoted social fairness and justice.

[Guidelines for Rights Protection]

Operators should strictly abide by the laws and regulations, abide by business ethics, be honest and trustworthy, operate legally, and put an end to low-cost arbitrage, price increases at different levels, and restrict and mislead consumers. Microfinance companies should earnestly implement the Notice on Further Standardizing the Supervision and Management of College Students’ Internet Consumer Loans, strengthen marketing management, strictly review the pre-loan qualifications, strictly implement the second repayment source of college students, strictly control the credit qualifications of college students, and must not use deceptive, misleading or induced publicity to induce college students to apply for consumer loans. The vast number of consumers should keep a clear head about low-price sales, rationally consume according to their own consumption power, and avoid the trap of excessive consumption and high loans.

Case 4: It is difficult for a training institution to suspend business without authorization for refund.

[Brief introduction of the case]

Since May 2021, Chongqing Consumer Rights Protection Committee and Qianjiang Consumer Rights Protection Committee have successively accepted 151 consumers’ complaints that Chongqing Yunhan Art Training Co., Ltd. suddenly closed down after collecting consumer training fees and did not return the remaining training fees. On August 19th, Chongqing Consumer Protection Committee and Qianjiang District Consumer Protection Committee supported consumers to file a class action lawsuit with Qianjiang District People’s Court, and coordinated lawyers to provide litigation agency services for consumers. On November 17, the Qianjiang District People’s Court of Chongqing held a public hearing to hear the case. In the final judgment, the defendant will refund the consumer training fee within ten days from the effective date of the judgment.

[Expert Comments]

It is a prominent infringement problem in recent years that off-campus training institutions collect training fees, refuse to perform their duties and do not refund the remaining training fees. This kind of case involves a large number of consumers and has great social security risks. The two-level consumer associations actively responded and took the initiative to help consumers file class actions and achieved good results, which played an important leading role in maintaining social stability and promoting consumer fairness.

[Guidelines for Rights Protection]

Off-campus training institutions shall strictly implement the Notice on Strengthening the Supervision of Off-campus Training Institutions’ Pre-charging, and shall not charge fees for more than 3 months or 60 class hours in a lump sum or in the form of recharge or sub-card. For the training institutions, the pre-paid fees are fully included in the scope of supervision, and risk management and control are carried out through bank custody and risk margin. Strict training loan management, it is forbidden to induce installment loans to pay off-campus training fees. Consumers should pay attention to identifying the qualifications of training institutions, carefully consulting the contents of contracts, beware of consumption risks, pay attention to retaining evidence, and safeguard their rights and interests according to law.

Case 5: The case of automobile maintenance spare parts with fake parts as real ones.

[Brief introduction of the case]

In March 2021, Ms. Gui, a consumer, chose an offline repair shop for routine maintenance through an online car maintenance platform, which cost a total of 6,000 yuan. However, the front and rear four brake discs and front wheel brake pads replaced by the auto repair factory were not the original parts promised, and the 20,000-kilometer front brake disc will still be used for replacement, which is suspected of over-maintenance. After mediation by Nanjing Consumers Association, the auto repair factory apologized to the consumers and made a refund of one compensation and three compensation.

[Expert Comments]

The chaos in the field of automobile maintenance is frequent, and the key lies in the dishonesty and disobedience of some operators. Due to opaque information, consumers lack professional knowledge and consumption experience, and it is difficult to see through all kinds of routines in the automobile maintenance industry. Through the professional support of the automobile professional committee, the Consumers Association helps consumers to obtain punitive damages, effectively safeguarding the legitimate rights and interests of the disadvantaged consumers.

[Guidelines for Rights Protection]

Automobile maintenance operators should earnestly improve their awareness of the rule of law, ensure the quality and quantity, keep their promises, buy and sell fairly, and provide sincere service, so as to prevent the fake from being genuine, excessive maintenance and cheating consumers. The vast number of consumers should pay attention to check the qualification of the garage before maintenance and understand the basic knowledge of automobile maintenance; When maintaining, a written contract should be signed to specify the repair items, prices, accessories and warranty period. After maintenance, it is necessary to check in time, and ask for invoices, expense lists, accessories vouchers, etc. Once it is found that the auto repairer has excessive maintenance and fraud, it is necessary to complain and report in time and protect rights according to law.

Case 6: The case of toll collection for limited-time traffic when highway cards are set up.

[Brief introduction of the case]

In September, 2021, according to the clues reflected by consumers, the Consumers Association of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region found that a cultural tourism company set up checkpoints on two highway routes, the national highway and the provincial highway, and charged the 120 yuan fee for each passing vehicle in the form of a stop deposit. If it did not pass through the road within a limited time (12 kilometers for 25 minutes and 38 kilometers for 60 minutes), the deposit would not be refunded. In response to the company’s illegal behavior, the Inner Mongolia Consumers Association, together with lawyers from the lawyers’ group and TV reporters, conducted investigation and evidence collection, held discussions with local transportation, cultural tourism and other departments, and urged the company to immediately rectify the illegal behavior and dismantle the two highways as soon as possible. In October, 2021, the company dismantled the road cards on the national and provincial roads.

[Expert Comments]

In some places, illegal card setting fees often appear, which not only increases the burden on consumers, infringes on the legitimate rights and interests of many unspecified consumers, but also restricts the choice of reasonable consumption such as eating and living along the way. The practice of time-limited traffic will also adversely affect the traffic order and driving safety of passing vehicles and, to a certain extent, destroy the impression of foreigners on the local area. Consumers’ Association urged the operators involved in litigation to rectify according to law, avoided economic losses for many consumers, cleared the "roadblock" of arbitrary charges, and achieved good social effects.

[Guidelines for Rights Protection]

Highways are protected by the state, and no unit or individual may illegally occupy them, or illegally set up checkpoints, collect fees, impose fines or intercept vehicles on highways. Operators can’t make use of infrastructure such as highways, illegally set up checkpoints to collect fees, or illegally charge extra fees and set their own punishment measures, which will undermine road traffic safety and traffic order. When consumers find such illegal acts, they should promptly complain and report them in order to effectively stop and correct them.

Case 7 Tattooing a minor without guardian’s consent

[Brief introduction of the case]

In July 2021, Ms. Lin, a consumer, accidentally discovered that her 13-year-old daughter had tattoos on her thighs and chest. There are patterns, Chinese characters and letters in these tattoos, which are all kinds, which are incompatible with their childish faces. Under questioning, I know that the child spent 700 yuan getting a tattoo in a tattoo shop. Ms. Lin refused to ask the merchant to refund the tattoo fee, so she complained to Zhenhai Branch of the Consumer Council of Licheng District, Putian City, Fujian Province. The staff of Zhenhai Branch pointed out that the operators tattooed the consumers without the consent of their legal guardians, which infringed on the physical and mental health of minors. After mediation, the merchant refunded Ms. Lin’s 700 yuan tattoo fee.

[Expert Comments]

Tattooing may hinder minors’ further education, enlistment and employment, and adversely affect minors’ rights such as health, development, protection and social participation. The 13-year-old minors are immature and belong to people with limited capacity for civil conduct. Their age, intelligence and social experience are still unable to judge the possible damage and influence of tattoos on themselves. The behavior of purchasing tattoo services is beyond their age and intelligence. It is of great significance for consumers’ associations to organize mediation according to law to standardize business operations, protect the legitimate rights and interests of minors and care for their physical and mental health.

[Guidelines for Rights Protection]

Protecting the legitimate rights and interests of minors is the common responsibility of the whole society. Business operators should fulfill their duty of care when providing commodities or services to minors. Parents, as legal guardians, should guide minors to establish a correct concept of consumption. Minors engage in consumption that is incompatible with their age and intelligence privately.

Case 8 Foreign Airlines Delayed Refund Due to Force Majeure

[Brief introduction of the case]

On March 7, 2020, consumer Ms. Wang spent 2093 yuan on a domestic booking website to buy a foreign airline ticket. Due to the cancellation of the epidemic flight, Ms. Wang only received a refund of 167 yuan according to the airline refund regulations. Ms. Wang complained to the Consumers Association of Chaoyang District, Beijing after many unsuccessful communication with booking websites and airlines. After investigation, the airline introduced a refund policy on March 19, saying that those who cannot make a trip after March 19 can only change their tickets and cannot refund their tickets. Chaoyang District Consumers Association pointed out that it is not the responsibility of consumers to cancel flights due to force majeure, and consumers should not bear the risks alone. On April 15th, the airline announced that tickets booked before May 31st can be changed or exchanged for travel vouchers. If they are not changed or exchanged for travel vouchers, they can be refunded two years later. Chaoyang District Consumers Association believes that this policy still does not comply with the relevant laws of China and should continue to be rectified. In the end, the booking company and the airline, with the consent of consumers, negotiated and decided to fully refund the purchase money of consumers within two months. The airline also canceled the period of refund after two years in the refund clause and revised it to "If you can’t travel, you can still apply for a refund without handling fees".

[Expert Comments]

It is a typical unfair format clause that airlines cancel flights because of the epidemic but ask consumers to bear all the losses. When conducting business in China, foreign business operators should abide by Chinese laws and regulations, treat consumers fairly and effectively protect their legitimate rights and interests. Consumers’ Association is not afraid of difficulties, communicating with airlines and booking websites in time, effectively resolving consumer disputes, not only safeguarding consumers’ legitimate rights and interests, but also prompting foreign operators to cancel unfair format clauses, which has a good demonstration significance.

[Guidelines for Rights Protection]

If the purpose of the contract cannot be achieved due to force majeure, the consumer may terminate the contract. According to the influence of force majeure, the liability may be exempted in part or in whole.

Case 9 Pre-sale Foot Bath Bag Annual Card is difficult to make an appointment without refund.

[Brief introduction of the case]

From March to August, 2021, Cicheng Consumer Protection Branch of Jiangbei District Consumer Protection Committee of Ningbo received 15 complaints from consumers asking for a refund from a foot bath company. Consumers claim that the company sells a 1300-yuan annual subscription card on the Internet platform, claiming that with this card, you can enjoy free foot baths in various foot bath shops in Ningbo for 365 days. When consumers actually use it, the store always refuses to make an appointment on the grounds that the quota of the day has been used up.

After receiving the complaint, Cicheng Consumer Protection Branch interviewed the person in charge of the company, pointing out its problems such as excessive card issuance, insufficient reception capacity and unfair format terms. After mediation, the company refunded 15 consumers.

Case 10 The jewelry store oversold the elderly consumers.

[Brief introduction of the case]

In August 2021, 60-year-old Ms. Chen was surrounded by several clerks in a jewelry store to promote jewelry while shopping in the mall. After brainwashing, consumers promised to buy jewelry with a total price of 680,000 yuan. Because she didn’t know how to operate the mobile phone, the clerk used Ms. Chen’s mobile phone to transfer 100,000 yuan to her personal account twice. The consumer asked for the bill, and the clerk said that if the consumption was less than 200,000, a receipt could not be issued. Worried that she couldn’t get the paid fees back, Ms. Chen went home to get the bank card, and under the guidance of the clerk, she paid another 100,000 yuan by credit card, and paid a total of 200,000 yuan as a jewelry deposit. There was no contract and signature confirmation in the whole transaction process. After returning home, Ms. Chen felt deeply wrong, and her request for a refund from the jewelry store was rejected, so she complained to Shilong Branch of Dongguan Consumer Council, Guangdong Province. The staff of Shilong Branch interviewed the relevant person in charge of the jewelry store and pointed out that its sales promotion behavior was suspected of deceiving and misleading the elderly who were over 60 years old, and was suspected of infringing consumers’ right to know and fair trade. After mediation, the jewelry store returned the deposit of 185,000 yuan to Ms. Chen, and the remaining deposit of 15,000 yuan was offset by the equivalent items in the store, and the unpaid deposit of 480,000 yuan was no longer pursued.

[Expert Comments]

In this case, the jewelry store clerk used the weakness of the elderly’s lack of social cognition to induce them to buy huge amounts of jewelry and charge a high deposit, and coerced the elderly to go home to withdraw money on the grounds that they could not issue a receipt for less than 200,000 yuan, which seriously infringed on the legitimate rights and interests of the elderly consumers, damaged the consumers’ right to know and fair trade, violated social morality and violated fairness and justice. Consumers’ Association organizes timely interviews with operators, properly handles consumer disputes, and effectively protects the legitimate rights and interests of elderly consumers in a weak position.

[Guidelines for Rights Protection]

Protecting the legitimate rights and interests of the elderly is the common responsibility of the whole society. Operators should abide by social morality and consciously provide special care for the elderly. It is not only against the law to make false propaganda and deceive the elderly, but also to be spurned by the society. Older consumers should pay attention to learning consumer knowledge, improve their awareness of self-prevention, not trust the verbal promises of operators, and be wary of brainwashing sales. Before buying products and receiving services, it is best to consult your children or professionals and relevant departments, and do not covet small profits or impulse consumption. If you find that your rights and interests are damaged, pay attention to retaining evidence and complain about your rights in time.
