At the age of 30, Serina Liu became the head of a research team at the Institute of Neuroscience, China Academy of Sciences.

　　It is the dream of young people doing scientific research to set up their own research groups. Serina Liu himself had never thought that this day would come so quickly.

　　In 2018, the news that the world’s first somatic cloned monkey was born in the Institute of Neurology, Chinese Academy of Sciences was released, which was one of the most remarkable developments in the global scientific community that year. Behind this major breakthrough is a young team of "Dr. Tu", and Liu is really one of them.

　　Serina Liu stood out from the crowd thanks to the innovative mechanism and system of Institute of Neurology, Chinese Academy of Sciences. After years of follow-up interviews with the Institute of Neurology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the reporter found that the best scientific research soil is accumulating here. After 20 years of exploring the reform of scientific research system, this young research institute is moving towards the ideal of becoming the world’s top scientific research institution. Aiming at the forefront of the world’s science and technology, a lean and efficient research team is marching forward bravely, striving to lead and promote the upgrading of strategic industries with major breakthroughs in basic scientific research, and make contributions to building an innovative country and building a world science and technology power.

　　To grow up "lining", not talent "hat"

　　In 2010, Serina Liu was admitted to the Institute of Neurology of Chinese Academy of Sciences from Shandong Normal University to study for a master’s degree, and joined the macaque platform hosted by her tutor Sun Qiang. In 2016, Dr. Serina Liu graduated and published a research paper on genetically modified monkeys with autism in the top international academic magazine Nature. With his academic achievements during his doctoral period, there is no problem in applying for top foreign laboratories. Serina Liu finally decided to stay and continue his postdoctoral research in the institute.

　　Go to a good foreign laboratory as a postdoctoral researcher, and after publishing one or two good articles, apply to return to China to be a "thousand young people" — — This is the ideal growth track for most doctors in the field of life sciences after graduation. Moreover, with the "hat" of talents, the support of research funds, preferential policies for settling down and so on can follow. However, if you choose to go abroad, most of you can’t continue the project of "making cloned monkeys", and you can only do "short, flat and fast" projects in other directions.

　　The purpose of Serina Liu’s stay is to continue to work on making monkey models of brain diseases. He knows that this is the breakthrough direction of the key layout of the Institute of Neurology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and he is eager to join in it. One of the main reasons why most brain diseases can’t be effectively treated is that the current mouse model for developing drugs is far from that of humans, and most of the drugs developed are ineffective or have side effects when tested in humans. The production of disease model monkeys will bring unprecedented bright prospects for the mechanism research, intervention, diagnosis and treatment of brain diseases.

　　Muming Poo, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and director of the Institute of Neurology, also convinced Serina Liu that only by breaking through the somatic cell cloning technology of nonhuman primates can we truly solve a series of shortcomings faced by macaques as experimental animals, establish a competitive advantage in brain science research in China and become an international leader.

　　"The domestic scientific research conditions are different, and the state pays more attention to personnel training. It is an inevitable trend to make more and more world-leading achievements in China." Serina Liu said, "In my opinion, no place can provide me with better opportunities and support than the nerve center."

　　"For a young scientific research talent who gives up studying abroad and is willing to stay at home to challenge major scientific problems, if the challenge fails, can we correctly evaluate his ability and let him still have a good development prospect?" When Sun Qiang led the team led by Serina Liu to experience numerous failures and achieved the first major breakthrough in the world’s somatic cloning of monkeys, Muming Poo raised a question worth pondering.

　　In July 2018, more than eight months after the birth of the cloned monkey, Serina Liu left the station early after only one year of postdoctoral work in the Institute of Neurology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, and was officially hired as a researcher and became a research team leader of the Institute of Neurology.

　　In the past year, Serina Liu has obtained the same research start-up funds and operation funds as other researchers in the institute. His laboratory is 130 square meters, equipped with five employees, and recruits one or two students every year. "This is enough for a research group that has just started." Serina Liu said that he intends to complete the optimization and efficiency improvement of somatic cloning monkey technology in three to five years, and at the same time, open some interesting topics step by step, such as the neurobiological mechanism of puberty initiation in primates.

　　Serina Liu’s growth trajectory is just one of the cases in which the nervous system does not take the usual path and innovates the system and mechanism.

　　Speak by skill, not by title.

　　"The research team leader recruited by the Institute of Neurology only looks at whether there is a good job, not whether there is experience in studying abroad." When Serina Liu hesitated to go abroad, Muming Poo’s words reassured him.

　　This is not an exception, but a performance-centered talent use and evaluation system that the Institute of Neurology has been insisting on for many years.

　　In 1998, the CPC Central Committee and the State Council made a major decision to build a national innovation system, and decided that the Chinese Academy of Sciences would launch a pilot project of knowledge innovation. As one of the important strategic arrangements of the pilot project, Chinese Academy of Sciences established the Institute of Neuroscience in November 1999, with Muming Poo as its director. At that time, the situation could be called "being ordered at a critical moment", and Muming Poo became the first foreign director of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

　　"Only by establishing a brand-new institute of modern scientific research system and using a new system and mechanism can we attract talents." At the beginning of its establishment, Muming Poo made up his mind to innovate the operation and management of scientific research institutes and vigorously reform the traditional scientific research evaluation and incentive system. His goal is to establish a top scientific research institution which is recognized by international peers and whose operation mode can be replicated and popularized in China.

　　Since 2003, the Institute of Neurology has taken the lead in introducing an international scientific research evaluation system among national scientific research institutes. Here, heroes don’t ask the source, talents don’t have the distinction of "foreign soil", and researchers should speak by skill, not by title. Even well-known experts should abide by the strict assessment requirements of the institute, and even without a diploma, they can be hired as deputy senior professional and technical posts. All work is to create a good ecological environment for scientific and technological innovation.

　　When receiving the olive branch from the nerve, Sun Qiang was still a little-known university lecturer. He graduated from Inner Mongolia University for Nationalities with no overseas study experience. At the age of 36, he had just been awarded the deputy senior title and experienced the failure of developing transgenic monkeys. He once considered whether to give up the research on nonhuman primates. At an academic conference, I learned about Sun Qiang’s practical foundation and technical level for many years. Muming Poo introduced him as a full-time senior engineer and entrusted him with the task of building a research platform for nonhuman primates.

　　To work here, Sun Qiang only made one condition to Muming Poo: to bring two veterinarians with only junior college education. Although their education is not high, they are a very important part of the scientific research team and need spirituality and concentration to achieve the ultimate.

　　At the beginning of 2018, the world’s first cloned monkey "Zhong Zhong" and "Hua Hua" cultivated by Sun Qiang’s team appeared in Cell magazine. This achievement, independently completed by scientists in China, is known as "a milestone breakthrough in the field of biotechnology in the world". The birth of the cloned monkey also proves that China has reached a stage from gradual and incremental innovation to a major breakthrough.

　　Are "Dr. Tu" and "Dr. Tu" not as good as those who have drunk "foreign ink"? Obviously not. Major breakthroughs, such as synthetic insulin, have been made by local scientists in China, most of whom are young scientists. In Muming Poo’s eyes, young people are the most innovative when they are 25 to 35 years old, but many excellent students go abroad as postdoctoral fellows, and devote the time that they can do experiments wholeheartedly to foreign laboratories in order to become "foreign talents" and get the talent "hat" smoothly.

　　"It seems that if you don’t go abroad, you can’t find a good job, and you don’t pay enough attention to the local talents you cultivate. This kind of employment orientation must be changed." Muming Poo regrets, "truly successful people don’t necessarily have to go abroad. It is very important to keep excellent doctoral and postdoctoral students in domestic first-class scientific research units and give them opportunities for innovation. There must be various mechanisms to encourage such talents. "

　　This is what the nerve has been trying to do. Under the leadership of Muming Poo, the Institute of Neurology has continuously deepened the reform of mechanism and system, and made in-depth and extensive explorations and attempts in the innovation of system and mechanism such as postgraduate training, team research to promote cross-integration, selection and promotion, and evaluation.

　　Yan Wang, secretary of the Party Committee of the Institute of Neurology, summed up the basic principles of talent work in the Institute of Neurology — — Provide a relatively stable scientific research environment, so that scientists can focus on research work; Carry out strict international assessment and implement a benign flow mechanism; Guide researchers to resist pressure and temptation, so that young scientists can work in a down-to-earth manner.

　　With these three rules, the breakthrough is ahead, and all it takes is time. Of course, it is very important to delve into major issues.

　　Stick to "big problems" instead of "short-term" topics.

　　"Big problem" is a key word deeply rooted in the culture of the Institute of Neurology.

　　It is precisely because of aiming at major scientific problems that the non-human primate research platform is built and perfected. In fact, since 2002, many research institutions in the world have started the research on somatic cell cloning of nonhuman primates. In 2010, Mitalipov, a scientist from Oregon Primate Research Center, led a team to successfully transplant cloned monkey embryos, but unfortunately, the success failed, and the embryos ended in abortion after 81 days of development.

　　However, due to the high investment cost and long output cycle of primate research, at first, many researchers who took mice as experimental objects inside and outside the Institute of Neurology were not optimistic about the investment in somatic cloned monkeys. In 2009, Muming Poo made a public opinion, and used the director’s fund layout to build a non-human primate research platform. That year, the Chinese Academy of Sciences tried out the only stable support policy for the whole hospital system, including the director’s fund. Since 2012, the non-human primate research platform project has been supported by Chinese Academy of Sciences. The background is that the Chinese Academy of Sciences, as a national strategic scientific and technological force, launched the strategic pilot science and technology project (Class B) "Study on Brain Function Linkage Map" in this year. This special project is one of the first five Class B pilot projects initiated by the Chinese Academy of Sciences, which is earlier than the start time of related "brain projects" in the United States, Japan and the European Union.

　　In 2014, the Chinese Academy of Sciences launched the "First Action" plan, which outlined the reform of the classification of research institutes and comprehensively promoted the reform of institutional mechanisms. In the same year, based on the Institute of Neurology, the Center for Excellence and Innovation in Brain Science of Chinese Academy of Sciences was established, becoming one of the first four centers for Excellence and innovation established by Chinese Academy of Sciences.

　　In 2015, during the planning of "China Brain Project", scientists in China put forward a "one body and two wings" architecture, that is, the neural principle of brain cognition as the "main body" and the new means of diagnosis and treatment of brain diseases and the new brain-like intelligent technology as the "two wings". The Chinese Academy of Sciences responded quickly and planned the coordinated development of brain science and brain-like research. The Center for Excellence and Innovation in Brain Science and Intelligent Technology, jointly planned by Institute of Neurology and Institute of Automation, was formally established in this year.

　　Major changes have spawned major outputs. Perhaps coincidentally, on November 27th, 2017, the 18th anniversary of the establishment of the Institute of Neurology, the somatic cloned monkey "Zhongzhong" was born. In Muming Poo’s view: "The reason for our success is that we saw that this problem can be solved and stuck to it, while most foreign laboratories gave up. Our success is due to the cohesion of a group of cutting-edge talents. "

　　"If you want to make a breakthrough scientific discovery, you must do important problems. I hope that the teachers and students of the Institute of Neurology have the confidence to do the best work, have the confidence and courage to do important problems, and eventually make breakthrough scientific discoveries. " Muming Poo is convinced. The "baton" of evaluation is also guiding everyone to explore innovative major scientific issues in line with the direction of national strategic development, rather than simply doing the topic of "fast, safe and easy to publish articles".

　　At the end of November every year, it is the "big gathering" of the Institute of Neurology. After the establishment of the Center for Excellence and Innovation in Brain Science and Intelligent Technology, this tradition continued and became the "big gathering" of the whole center, and the performance evaluation of the year was carried out at the same time as academic exchanges. The evaluation results are the basis for researchers to apply for annual research funds and adjust performance allowances, and directly affect their funding and promotion opportunities.

　　The results of performance evaluation are divided into three grades: A, B and C. Members who have been rated as C for two consecutive years will be required to make rectification, and the annual performance allowance will be stopped during the rectification period; Members who have been rated as C for three consecutive years will be asked to withdraw; Members who have been rated as A for two consecutive years will be given priority in promotion assessment.

　　Yan Wang remembers that when it was first implemented, the impact was great. Some researchers can’t figure out: why did they get a C in the evaluation because they have sent so many papers with high impact factors? Because the evaluation criteria are different, the "paper-only" evaluation system has been broken since the end of 2015, focusing on the contribution to the team’s key projects, excluding the results unrelated to the team’s projects; There are significant innovative achievements in the key areas of the center layout; The investment in interdisciplinary communication includes multi-unit "squatting" teaching and research, and guiding dual-tutor graduate students.

　　What are good results and big results? What kind of achievement is a major breakthrough? "It is a major breakthrough to open up new scientific research fields and achieve milestones in the original scientific research fields. Looking around the world, the world’s top scientific research institutions have such achievements. Every scientific research field has well-known major unsolved problems, and it is the real leader in this field to continuously make major breakthroughs in one field. " Muming Poo said.

　　It is necessary to "explore freely" and "tackle key problems by team"

　　"It has been 5 years since I returned to China. Let’s see when I can get the first clinical approval." On July 8, Yang Hui, a researcher at the Institute of Neurology, wrote this sentence in a circle of friends, with a smiling expression of high morale.

　　In 2014, 29-year-old Yang Hui became the youngest researcher in the Institute of Neurology, and served as the leader of the primate disease model research group and doctoral supervisor. "90% of rare diseases are incurable. Can we do something with gene editing?" Yang Hui said that rare diseases are actually not rare. There are more than 7,000 rare diseases found in the world, with more than 300 million patients, more than cancer patients. The goal of him and his team is to develop more efficient and safer gene editing tools and build a research and development platform for treating rare diseases. "The first gene drug in China will not be too far away".

　　In the first half of this year, Yang Hui’s research group had a bumper harvest, and published two papers in Science and Nature. It was the first time in the world to confirm the off-target effect of single-base gene editing, and then further repaired the off-target "loophole" and established a new generation of single-base gene editing tools. The young researcher said frankly: "I’m still very uneasy, and I’m most worried about disappointing the students’ efforts day and night. Teacher Pu is still helping us to change articles over and over again during the Spring Festival holiday. Thank you for your efforts and hope that the results will benefit China patients as soon as possible. "

　　The birth of somatic cloned monkeys undoubtedly brought Yang Hui closer to her dream. Starting from 2018, a monthly seminar on cloned monkeys will be held. In addition to the main personnel of the primate platform, many research groups of the Institute of Neurology will participate, expecting to bear more innovative fruits in deep cross-integration. Sun Qiang said that on the basis of successfully constructing the world’s first batch of somaclonal monkeys with dysrhythmia, more efforts are being organized, and the efforts of the Institute, the Center of Excellence and even the whole country are gathered to develop a variety of disease model monkeys and tool monkeys developed by somaclonal monkey technology as soon as possible. "Many research groups in the Institute have cooperated with us."

　　In Muming Poo’s view, at present, breakthroughs in most fields require cooperative research, and establishing a concise and efficient research team is the key to a major breakthrough. "The biggest challenge in the biological science community at present is to establish an effective research team." The molecular mechanism and variety design of synthetic bovine insulin with full activity, high yield and high quality rice are not the results of individual combat. To make breakthrough work on major issues requires the team spirit of sincere cooperation, hard work and perseverance of each member, and puts the task and goal of team research above personal gains and losses.

　　This is also the first-class scientific research culture that Muming Poo has always advocated, and the first-class scientific research institutions should have. "Looking for the development direction of the frontier of science must be free to explore. However, with the development of science and technology, it is difficult to make a real breakthrough only by individual’s free exploration. Therefore, it is an inevitable trend for young and middle-aged scientists to abandon the limitations of fame and fortune, cooperate with each other and jointly answer important scientific questions. "

　　At the beginning of its establishment, the Institute of Neurology insisted on joint team research as the core way to solve major problems, and actively explored the establishment of scientific research systems and mechanisms that take into account collective goals and personal interests, demand orientation and free exploration. Here, most of the personal interests of scientific researchers are respected, most of their personal expertise is found, and valuable and distinctive frontier research fields are basically covered.

　　Muming Poo has a profound understanding of the training methods of Chinese and Western scientists, and he hopes to promote the establishment of a new scientific culture in the nerve center and cultivate intellectuals who inherit China’s traditional values. In his view, Chinese researchers should have the spirit of selflessness, and more importantly, they should have the feeling of "worrying about the world first, and enjoying the world later" of China traditional intellectuals, so as to serve the country with scientific and technological achievements.

　　"Please don’t buy things you don’t need in the near future. I am very seriously opposed to the idea of spending all the unspent funds before the end of the year. If we can’t use up the money, it means that we don’t need it. We must return it to the Chinese Academy of Sciences or other sources. This is the correct attitude of a scientist with social responsibility. " Muming Poo once sent an email to the research group leader in the institute.

　　In his view, it is a basic social conscience that researchers should use research funds cautiously. The level of scientists is expressed by ideas and innovation, not by the latest models of instruments they have. The wind of "grabbing" resources once appeared in academic circles is a waste to society. The practice of the Institute of Neurology also proves this point. The rapid development depends not on the input of resources, but on the ideal of building a world-class scientific research institution and persisting in promoting the reform of the system and mechanism.

　　At the beginning of his tenure as director of the Institute of Neurology, Muming Poo once put down his grandiloquence: "I have never been so confident in successfully establishing a world-class research institute on the land of China. This will be a research institute that will be recorded in the history of science in China. As the first director of the Institute of Neurology, I am determined to do my best to turn the Institute of Neurology into a fertile soil where the seeds of scientific invention will sprout, take root and blossom. "

　　This year, 71-year-old Muming Poo will soon witness the 20th year of this research institute, which has devoted countless efforts to it, and complete another major turn. In the near future, it will continue to complete its mission and responsibility under the name of "Center for Excellence in Innovation of Brain Science and Intelligent Technology of Chinese Academy of Sciences".

　　Innovation, innovation, and innovation.

　　Fusion, fusion, re-fusion.

　　This is the result of the times and the general trend. At present, the research of brain science and intelligent technology is facing unprecedented development opportunities. After 20 years of intensive cultivation, a research team led by outstanding scientists and with outstanding young scientists as the main body has become increasingly mature and has become a main force in the research of brain science and intelligent technology in China. After 20 years of reform and innovation, the rivers crossed, the bridges crossed and the roads traversed have been integrated into the great process of China’s scientific and technological innovation to overcome difficulties and become a cornerstone to consolidate the innovation-driven development strategy.

Execution linkage, smashing inter-provincial fake wine criminal gangs

—— On-the-spot report on the case of investigating and handling the production and sale of counterfeit "Niulanshan" registered trademark liquor in Haining, Zhejiang Province

China Quality News Network News "The manufacture and sale of fake wine not only infringes on the trademark rights of merchants, but also brings food safety risks, which is extremely harmful to society and must not be tolerated!" After half a year’s careful investigation, Haining Public Security Bureau of Zhejiang Province and Haining Market Supervision Bureau jointly acted, and recently successfully destroyed an inter-provincial criminal gang that produced and sold counterfeit "Niulanshan" registered trademark liquor, and arrested 22 suspects, involving a total amount of 10,000 yuan in Wu Bai.

Winery counterfeiting provides clues

At the beginning of 2021, Xinyoutai Liquor Industry, a distributor of Niulanshan Winery in Haining, contacted the Comprehensive Administrative Law Enforcement Team of Haining Municipal Market Supervision Bureau (hereinafter referred to as the Law Enforcement Team), saying that there may be counterfeit "Niulanshan" liquor in Haining, but the specific situation is unknown, and there is neither direct evidence nor directional clues. After receiving the clue provided by the dealer, the comprehensive law enforcement team decided, through research and analysis, to keep continuous attention on the clue, strengthen daily supervision and inspection, and gradually grasp the first-hand situation through targeted troubleshooting.

Suspected fake wine "appears" in the construction site canteen

On March 16th, law enforcement officers of Huangwan Market Supervision Institute of Haining Municipal Market Supervision Bureau inspected the canteen of a construction site in Jianshan New District and found that the canteen was suspected of operating without a license, so they conducted on-site evidence collection according to law. In the process of obtaining evidence, law enforcement officers, as usual,the sameInspected, but paid special attention to the sales of "Niulanshan" liquor. The "Niulanshan" liquor in the canteen is placed on a small shelf far from the door. After inspection, law enforcement officers felt that there was something wrong: there was no difference between the packaging boxes and bottle labels of these wines and genuine Niulanshan liquor, and the outer packaging was printed with "Niulanshan aged liquor" and marked with "net alcohol content of 42% vol: 500ml, production date: 201910202, place of origin: Langfang City, Hebei Province (2), entrusted party: Chengdu production base of Niulanshan Distillery of Beijing Shunxin Agricultural Co., Ltd.". However, law enforcement officers felt that the wine was slightly different from the common Niulanshan. Combined with previous clues, law enforcement officers suspected that the wine was not genuine. After on-site inquiry, the parties prevaricated and could not tell the source. Law enforcement officers took measures to register and preserve 137 bottles of liquor in advance.

A self-proclaimed "Niulanshan" liquor agent surfaced.

Law enforcement officers contacted Niulanshan Distillery of Beijing Shunxin Agricultural Co., Ltd., the trademark registrant of Niulanshan, through Xinyoutai Liquor Industry. After identification, the above-mentioned liquor was not produced by the company, but was indeed a counterfeit product. Law enforcement officers seized 137 bottles of "fake wine" according to law.

After obtaining the appraisal result of the manufacturer, the law enforcement officers further inquired about the operator of the canteen. "When you purchase goods, did you check the agent qualification of the other party and check the business license and business license of the other party?" "No." At this time, the canteen operator truthfully confessed: "In January, an agent who claimed to be’ Niulanshan’ liquor came to our store to sell it and said that it could be delivered to the door. It was a little cheaper than others, and we believed that he had entered his wine." In addition, during the inspection, law enforcement officers found that other nearby snack bars for migrant workers were also supplied by this person. According to the judgment of the confession law enforcement officers, the dealers of counterfeit liquor aimed at specific sales targets and made targeted door-to-door sales. The counterfeit liquor flowing into the market was definitely not limited to the number that had been detained, and immediately decided to inform the law enforcement team of the clues of the case. After receiving the notification, the law enforcement team immediately organized law enforcement personnel to conduct a comprehensive network investigation in the incident area. Through the network-pulling investigation, they gradually grasped the micro-signal of the dealer and the preliminary illegal clues.

Cross-provincial network arrest, criminal gangs caught the gang.

The law enforcement team conducted the preliminary investigation through the micro-signal of the self-proclaimed "Niulanshan" dealer. After the preliminary investigation, the relevant case materials were officially handed over to the public security department. The Haining Public Security Bureau set up a task force, and through the dealers of the fake wine gang in Haining, they tracked down their dealers in Jiaxing, Zheng Motao, Yan Momin, Zhou Moufei, Zheng Mouhui, a dealer in Zhejiang Province, Tang Mobin, a dealer in other counties and cities in Jiaxing, a logistics service department of Xu Shui, a manufacturer of a wine company in Hebei and a wine company in Baoding. On December 2, 2020, Haining Public Security Bureau dispatched more than 90 law enforcement officers to arrest members of locked criminal gangs. On the same day, 21 suspects were arrested.

After investigation, the cost price of a bottle of counterfeit liquor is about 3 yuan. After a multi-layer selling network, it finally flows into the canteen, and the price is more than 10 yuan per bottle. Haining City Market Supervision Bureau attached great importance to the clues of the case, quickly pulled the net for investigation, promptly handed it over to the public security, and fully cooperated with the investigation. After half a year, the case of producing and selling counterfeit "Niulanshan" registered trademark liquor was finally solved. Niulanshan Winery of Beijing Shunxin Agricultural Co., Ltd., the owner of Niulanshan brand, would like to thank the Municipal Public Security Bureau and the relevant case-handling agencies of the Municipal Market Supervision Bureau for presenting pennants respectively.

Find everyone’s spiritual corner in the movie.

When it comes to science fiction films, the first thing that comes to mind is always the magnificent war scenes and the beautiful Ad Astra. Although it is eye-catching, it always feels a little less human.

Seeing the convergence of science fiction films, French director jean pierre jeunet, who is good at romance, can’t sit still.

Therefore, with the investment of Netflix, the new film "Giant Hole" directed by him has brought the audience a unique journey in the future with its own signature film style.

Jean pierre jeunet, a 69-year-old director, may not be a top-notch director, but every one of his works can make fans shine.

From Alien 4, which changed the direction of the series, to the most famous romantic comedy "Angels Love Beauty" in France, and then to the strange travel of young Spavey, which is extremely comfortable.

It can be said that each of his works has a beautiful, highly recognizable color style and a superb narrative technique of multi-line parallelism.

No matter what kind of works, jean pierre jeunet can be handy, and under those gorgeous appearances, there are all kinds of thought-provoking themes.

After eight years, jean pierre jeunet turned his attention to the future world.

He dreamt back to the original intention of his debut novel "Rhapsody in a Black Shop", and used the story style of absurdity and metaphor to construct a world where people and robots coexist.

"Giant Vulnerability" tells that in 2046, smart home robots and emotional robots have been legally used, and they are everywhere in life, taking care of all human diets.

Even when we need to seek comfort psychologically and physically, there are AI robots to solve problems for human beings.

Such a comfortable life not only makes human beings more stupid and lazy, but also attracts the dissatisfaction of the robot army.

So, led by the Eunex robot, AI launched a counterattack against human beings. They blocked the road and scared them with advertisements that enslaved human beings.

However, the director did not focus on the big scene of the war between man and machine, but used an almost closed space to tell the relationship between man and robot.

When a group of chattering human beings are locked in the house by their own domestic robots for the sake of "protection", people and machines begin to think about each other’s meaning again. ……

Although the relationship between man and artificial intelligence is a very old-fashioned theme, the director still adds a lot of sense of humor to the film through some very stylized angles.

For example, in peacetime, human beings are proud of their literary accomplishment and artistic accomplishment, but when the crisis of artificial intelligence comes, the ugliness of human beings trapped in the house who are bent on burning books for self-protection exposes their hypocrisy.

It can be said that no matter how advanced the development of science and technology is in the future, the true feelings and hypocrisy, emotion and indifference that generate showed in the crisis will always be the theme that the film author wants to discuss.

Jean pierre jeunet, the director, puts the audience in a world with "huge loopholes" through her remarkable future world design and her unique aesthetic style. This kind of sci-fi film similar to social experiment provides us with a new sci-fi idea.

Compared with last year’s fantastic work Don’t Look Up, The Giant Hole seems to arouse us to think more about ourselves. When stupidity and arrogance occupy our brains, the developed world will also go to destruction.

Although this film is not the director’s best work, the actor’s grandiose performance and generate’s little humor from time to time make the whole movie-watching process look relaxed and interesting.

As a sci-fi sketch, this film combines entertainment perspective with profound issues, and I believe the audience can gain some new feelings after watching it.

Will Altman vs Godzilla come true in his lifetime?

A week ahead of North America, the biggest explosion in April came.

After waiting for four years, Aquaman 2’s highlights are the first to watch.

　　At the moment when the ambulance siren sounded, in addition to the patients and their families waiting anxiously, there were also emergency medical staff who were eager to get to the scene. In the face of patients seeking help, ambulance drivers play a vital role in fighting for rescue time. In recent days, drivers in the emergency department of Jinshui District General Hospital in Zhengzhou City have become "on fire". In order to shorten the visiting time, more than a dozen drivers spent nearly half a year in their spare time to draw a visiting map covering 1,056 residential buildings in 52 communities. A few days ago, Beijing Youth Daily reporter learned from Director Zhao of the emergency department of Jinshui District General Hospital in Zhengzhou that the use of the visiting map shortened the visiting time by 5 to 10 minutes, and it will be continuously updated and improved according to the construction of residential areas within the visiting scope in the future.

　　45 hand-painted maps bring together 1056 buildings.

　　Recently, the hand-painted map of the driver’s class in the emergency department of Jinshui District General Hospital in Zhengzhou City was "on fire", especially in the emergency circle in Zhengzhou City, the provincial capital, and many people consulted "learning from the scriptures".

　　A few days ago, the reporter of Beiqing Daily contacted Director Zhao, the emergency department of the hospital. According to him, this map of visits began to be planned very early.

　　At the beginning of 2016, after Jinshui District General Hospital moved to its current new location, there were many large-scale residential areas in the core visiting area of the emergency department, and the situation of the residential areas was also complicated, many of which were special. "For example, there are 14 small courtyards irregularly distributed in a large-scale community, and each small courtyard is independent of each other and has different access controls." Director Zhao said that it is sometimes difficult for medical staff who often receive patients to find the building where the patients are located during the day, and it is even more difficult to find the road at night. "Later, we thought, can we mark the roads in each community for the convenience of all drivers?" Later, more and more communities needed to be marked, and everyone simply collected the details of more than 50 communities.

　　Shi Shuai, the driver of the emergency department, once studied painting. He was mainly responsible for sketching in the process of making the map of home visits, and the rest of the drivers were responsible for on-site exploration of the roads and entrances of the community and marking them in detail on the map.

　　It starts from Lianhuo Expressway in the north, the North Third Ring Road in the south, Jinbei Road in the west and Wenhua Road in the east. In the core visiting area of Jinshui District General Hospital in Zhengzhou City, the masters of the driver class spent half a year familiarizing themselves with the specific conditions of more than 50 residential areas, and then they were drawn on 45 hand-drawn residential area plans by Shi Shuai, the driver and first aid worker.

　　The average consultation time is shortened by 5 to 10 minutes.

　　"The traffic conditions of roads in the community, including traffic lanes and pedestrian walkways, as well as the traffic conditions of each door in the community, especially those with fire doors and fire exits, are often the most convenient first-aid passages." Shi Shuai said that in addition to marking the location number of each building in the community, it is also necessary to clearly mark the orientation position of each unit. "Especially in the case of poor sight at night, it is convenient for medical staff to quickly find the patient’s home."

　　The reporter of Beiqing Daily noticed that the contact information of the property was still left on the floor plan of many communities. Shi Shuai explained that in some high-end residential areas, it is difficult for ambulances to enter because of the separation of people and vehicles and the low underground garage door. "Everyone wrote down the switchboard of the property according to their experience. Once you receive the mission of visiting critically ill patients in the community, call the property switchboard at the first time, ask the security guard to open the ground fire door in advance, and lead the ambulance to the corresponding building to treat the patients in the most timely manner. "

　　The drawing of the home visit map directly shortens the time of receiving treatment in the emergency department. What impressed Shi Shuai was that at the end of 2017, he and his colleagues had just finished drawing the area of nearby Provence Community, and the emergency department received a call for help. Ms. Liu of Provence VI had a heart attack, and after calling 120 for help, the medical visiting team quickly determined the location according to the "visiting map". With the cooperation of the property personnel, Ms. Liu was quickly found and sent to the hospital, and finally Ms. Liu was successfully rescued.

　　"Now the 45 maps we have drawn basically cover all the reception areas of the hospital. Once we receive a phone call to confirm the location, we will find the corresponding location on the map and soon find the best way to get through. The reception time is shortened by 5 to 10 minutes on average." Shi Shuai introduced.

　　The map specially marks the location of special people.

　　In addition, Shi Shuai said that he and his colleagues also specially marked the location of special people in the community on the map. "For example, there are many elderly residents in some communities. The buildings No.19 and No.20 in a certain community are low-rent houses, and all of them live in low-income households, even the disabled and widowed elderly. In response to their help, our doctors, nurses and drivers must try their best to give special care. "

　　Master Xia worked in the emergency department of Jinshui District General Hospital for many years. Once he received a 120 call for help, he learned that an old man in his 90 s suddenly became incontinent, and his son in his 70 s took care of the old man. Because the elevator is too small, it can only be carried by people. "Master Xia picked up the old man without saying anything and sent him to the ambulance." Shi Shuai said that no matter which driver in the driver’s class encounters such a situation, he will fight for more rescue time for the patient like Master Xia.

　　Talking about the original intention of hand-painted maps, Shi Shuai said that in fact, the original intention of hand-painted maps is to compress time against time and get patients treated as soon as possible. "As long as you work in the emergency department for one day, everyone can feel that time is life."

　　"After our hand-drawn map is made, the driver class will have one copy, which greatly improves the efficiency of home visits." Director Zhao said that because of the rapid construction of Zhengzhou North District, this hand-drawn map will be further improved with the surrounding environment and the construction of residential areas.

Recently, the frequent news of sudden death has aroused everyone’s discussion.

Increasing work pressure and faster pace of life make sudden death a health anxiety for many people.

According to the 2020 National Health Insight Report, 53% people were worried about their sudden death. Among the young post-95 s and post-00 s, 7% and 9% people often even worry about their sudden death every day, and this group of people is only in their twenties this year.

But in fact, as long as you master the knowledge of cardiovascular metabolic disease prevention and make a risk assessment of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, you don’t have to worry too much about the risk of sudden death.

What is cardiovascular metabolic disease?

Cardiovascular metabolic diseases include hypertension, dyslipidemia, coronary heart disease, stroke, etc.The primary cause of death and disease burden of residents in China.

Smoking;

Drinking alcohol;

Unhealthy diet;

Sedentary.

These bad living habits are the main risk factors for the sharp rise of cardiovascular metabolic diseases.

Elevated blood pressure, abdominal obesity, abnormal glucose metabolism, elevated triglyceride (TG) and decreased high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), and at least three of these five indicators are abnormal, which can be called increased cardiovascular metabolic risk.

Remarks: Table 2 is taken from the Guidelines for Healthy Lifestyle Prevention of Cardiovascular Metabolic Diseases in China.

Healthy lifestyle

It is an important cornerstone for the prevention and management of cardiovascular metabolic diseases.

For people with increased metabolic risk, no matter whether they are treated with drugs or not, they need to adhere to a healthy lifestyle, including improving diet, controlling weight, quitting smoking and limiting alcohol, and increasing physical activity appropriately after fully evaluating safety.

If you have no abnormal indicators, but still care about your health, you might as well set yourself some small goals:

Go to bed early for ten minutes today;

Eat more vegetables tomorrow;

Challenge not to drink sweet drinks in January;

Stand up and move after working for half an hour;

Have a comprehensive physical examination once a year;

……

The tragedy of sudden death should not be repeated again and again. These small health goals are the first step to self-rescue.

Cardiovascular disease is also the main cause of death in patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Relevant prevention and treatment guidelines in China suggest that once the diagnosis of NAFLD is confirmed, the metabolic disorder and cardiovascular risk of patients should be evaluated in time.

Every summer, cartoons are naturally indispensable. Since the re-release of Miyazaki Hayao’s Spirited Away, there have been many animations released so far, such as Pet Secret 2, GG Bond’s Unbelievable World, Mobile Suit Gundam NT, Night of Destiny-Goblet 2, etc. Except for Spirited Away, most of them have no splash. However, it can be boldly predicted that after the domestic cartoon Ne Zha is released, it will definitely rewrite the layout of this year’s summer cartoon; Especially in the case that several blockbuster movies have been withdrawn, Ne Zha will do more.

Ne Zha poster. Nezha in the poster is a transformed Nezha, who is usually not so handsome.

Ne Zha has a good production team. The director is jiaozi, born in 1980s. Although he only directed two short films "The Boss’s Woman" and "Hit, Hit a Big Watermelon" before, 40,000 people scored 8.6 points in "Hit, Hit a Big Watermelon". The main producer of the film, Caitiaowu Film, has also produced animation masterpieces such as Big Fish Begonia, Great Protector and Great World before.

On the announcement, Ne Zha also took the point-and-shoot strategy. On July 13th and 14th, it was only a small-scale film, and the word-of-mouth was more than that of Return of the Great Sage. The film quickly launched a larger-scale screening nationwide from July 17th to July 21st, and the good word-of-mouth continued to ferment. Many viewers believe that compared with The Return of the Great Sage and The White Snake: The Origin, Ne Zha has made a fundamental leap from text to audio-visual language.

Is this "rainbow fart"? Frankly speaking, after the trailer was released, many people were generally not optimistic about Ne Zha. There were many bad reviews on the douban, and they vowed to say, "If the bad film is booked, the box office will be forgotten." Because of Nezha’s painting style in the trailer-it’s really "ugly" (of course, it smells good afterwards). Even at the beginning of the film, the blinding modern light design and a strong "Trump" made people think that it was a bad film. But if you stick to it, your prejudice will be broken-and as it happens, this is also a theme of this movie.

Just looking at the forecast and materials, you will find Nezha very "ugly", although you will find him very "cute" after watching the movie.

As a classic figure in China’s ancient legends, Nezha has many film and television images. What kind of Nezha image did Ne Zha portray? Why does Ne Zha represent a step forward in domestic animation?

The Evolution of Nezha’s Image

Attentive viewers will find that from the first Asian animated feature film Princess Iron Fan (1941) born in China to White Snake: The Origin, which received rave reviews in early 2019, the development of Chinese cartoons has always drawn nutrition from ancient myths and legends in China, and "Westward Journey to the Universe", "Godly Universe" and "White Snake Universe" are important creative sources for the development of film and television dramas. This is actually consistent with Disney’s strategy of constantly remaking some classic fairy tales: fairy tales, myths, legends, etc. have a huge audience base, and both continuation and innovation can attract widespread attention.

Nezha is one of the most influential mythological images in China, and also one of the most common images in domestic cartoons. As soon as the prelude of "It’s him, it’s him, it’s him, our friend Nezha Jr." rings, it is estimated that more than half of the post-80s and post-90s will hum.

In 2003, the 52-episode animated film The Legend of Nezha influenced countless post-80s and post-90s. The theme song "Young Hero Little Nezha" has a high degree of nationality.

It is generally believed that Nezha, who is from Indian Buddhism and whose full name in Sanskrit is Naluo Jiupo or Naqijufalo, is the third prince of Vishamun King (it is also said that he is related to Vishamun King between grandparents and grandchildren). Nezha is a dharma protector in Indian Buddhism, belonging to the hag god system. His duty is to assist the Visha King in defending the dharma, eliminating evil and protecting the world. With the introduction of Buddhism into China, the oral legend of Nezha was introduced into China after the Han Dynasty.

The dharma protectors in Buddhism are generally ferocious, in order to highlight their hatred, bravery and strength. The same is true of Nezha, who has three heads and six arms. In Buddhist scriptures, "anger" is often used to describe Nezha’s personality. According to the tripitaka, Nezha’s "White Buddha’s Word" says, "I uphold Buddhism, and I want to capture and bind the wicked or have a bad heart. I guard the king’s ministers and Baiguanliao day and night. For those who kill Daling, we will wait for Nezha to stab them in the eye and heart with a golden staff. If you are a monk or nun, you will be beaten on the head with a diamond rod. "

So, how did Indian Buddhism come to Nezha to become a China figure? Scholars pointed out that Nezha’s image evolved with the evolution of Li Jing. Probably in the Southern Song Dynasty, the famous Li Jing of Sui and Tang Dynasties evolved into the King of Pishamen, and naturally, the son of the King of Pishamen became the son of Li Jing. This also created conditions for the further evolution of Nezha’s image.

Through two famous fantasy novels of Ming Dynasty, The Journey to the West and Romance of the Gods, Nezha was gradually shaped and deeply rooted in people’s hearts. In The Journey to the West, Nezha has been included in the Taoist immortal system. He has changed from a Buddhist god to the son of the heavenly commander of the Taoist Jade Emperor, King Tota, and is also an important god of war of the Jade Emperor. Nezha’s image in the novel is, "The little boy was born with a strange appearance and was very lean. The whole thing is: the jade face is as charming as a full moon, and the square mouth of the lips shows silver teeth. The eyes are bright and the beads are violent, and the forehead is wide and the hair is bun. Embroidery with dancing wind and colorful flames, brocade robe reflecting the sun and releasing golden flowers. Ring tapestry burning climbing mirror, Baojia Huihui lining combat boots. How magnificent it is to be quiet, and to protect Nezha for three days. " Here, Nezha is a lovely but angry child.

Li Jing and Nezha in the 86 edition of The Journey to the West, Nezha hand-held Gankun circle.

In the Romance of Gods, Nezha was further "Taoist". He is the spiritual bead of the Taoist founder Yuan Shi Tian Zun, reincarnated as the son of Li Men in Chentangguan, and helped Jiang Ziya destroy the Shang Dynasty and prosper the Zhou Dynasty in the next life. Nezha’s temperament became more and more "angry", he ignored authority, was unrestrained, and had a strong rebellious spirit. He called the Dragon King an "old loach", killed Li Gen, and drew the tendons of Ao Bing. Nezha is still with his parents because of filial piety. After the incarnation of lotus, his image is "two lotus flowers are now incarnated, and Lingzhu II is out of the dust. Portable purple flame snake spear treasure; Step on jinxia hot wheels. The leopard skin is safe in the world; The people are blessed in the red brocade. The sages of the past dynasties are the first, and the historians have written a thousand years. " He became the demon-subduer and the god of water-saving in the system.

After that, Nezha’s artistic image generally followed the setting of The Journey to the West and The Romance of the Gods. Whether Nezha played a supporting role, such as the cartoon "Make a scene in Heaven", The Journey to the West in 1986, or Nezha became the protagonist, such as the cartoon "What a scene" and "The Legend of Nezha", Nezha was mainly a child/teenager with a "angry" personality or cute and daring.

Nezha in the 1979 edition of What’s the Sea?

Nezha in Lotus Lantern Prequel is probably the cutest version of Nezha in the live-action version.

As for Nezha’s famous story of cutting meat and boning bones, there are also different interpretations, or as recorded in the novel The Journey to the West, "His father, the King of Heaven, was afraid of future troubles and wanted to kill Nezha" (resisting feudal patriarchy), or as recorded in The Romance of Gods, "One man acts as one man, and I kill Ao Bing, so I should pay for my life, and there is no reason why I have children to implicate my parents" (expressing filial piety and embodying the heroic spirit of self-sacrifice).

"the magic boy came to the world"

The cartoon Ne Zha is more influenced by the novel Romance of the Gods, but it only draws lessons from the basic relationship between characters, and the specific plot and personality of the characters have been greatly changed, with a high originality index.

The origin of the story is that the aura of heaven and earth gave birth to a "mixed bead" with great energy, and the mixed bead was refined into "spirit bead" and "magic pill" by the Buddha at the beginning, and the "spirit bead" was reincarnated as a human being, which was of great use; The "magic pill" will give birth to the devil, which is a disaster for the world. The Buddha of the Yuan Dynasty started the curse of Armageddon. Three years later, the thunder will come and destroy the magic pill. Real Taiyi, a disciple of the Buddha at the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, was ordered to entrust the spirit bead to Nezha, the son of Li Jing in Chentangguan.

However, by mistake, Lingzhu and Magic Pill were switched, and Nezha, who was supposed to be the hero of Lingzhu, became the devil in troubled times … This created two strong suspense: Nezha, who was supposed to be the reincarnation of Lingzhu, became the reincarnation of Magic Pill. What should he do? Three years later, it was doomed by lightning. Can Nezha overcome fate?

Although he was reincarnated as a magic pill, Nezha was not born with great magic, and he was as innocent as a blank sheet of paper, but prejudice destroyed him. There is also a scene in the movie: Nezha, who ran from home to the street for the first time, wanted to play shuttlecock with a little sister, but when people found him, they shouted in horror and several friends threw things at him. They thought that Nezha was a magic boy.

The people are full of prejudice against Nezha and are very resistant.

Nezha was ostracized, discriminated, hated and hurt by everyone. Even with his family, he just wanted to isolate him. Excavate asked that Nezha should not be allowed to leave the house; Even though his mother dotes on him, she can only sigh helplessly, "Maybe this is her life."

Nezha’s parents also chose to "accept their fate."

Is this really fate? Nezha was unhappy, dissatisfied and unhappy, but the heavy shackles of fate-or, more precisely, the exclusion of all the people around him-trapped him firmly. His choice was: OK, since you think I am a monster, I will honestly be a monster. He is mischievous, broken pots and broken falls, doing evil and causing trouble. From time to time, I have to go out and make trouble, so that Chen Tangguan can make trouble.

Therefore, when Nezha appeared, he gave the impression that he was a Xiong Haizi and a little devil. It is no wonder that the image created by the film looks ugly: short, with severe dark circles under his eyes, frustrated, and always pretending to be cool when walking.

Ne Zha’s script structure is a typical "three-act structure" in Hollywood, and the audience can completely predict the ending of the story: Nezha, who was regarded as a magic boy at first, will definitely become a prodigy to save all beings after several twists and turns (there are not many spoilers here). He shouted, "It’s up to me to say whether it’s a magic or a fairy", "My life is up to me" and "If my fate is unfair, I will fight him to the end". What magic pills are reincarnated as magic children and what can’t escape lightning in three years? Fuck you!

Nezha doesn’t believe in life.

If the film is just like this, maybe you won’t notice anything special about Nezha. After all, the themes of breaking the binary opposition between good and evil, resisting fate, and making my own destiny are not uncommon in Nezha-related film and television dramas, and the theme of many chicken soup movies is precisely this.

What’s so special about Nezha?

An unprecedented Nezha.

I think that Nezha in Ne Zha is unprecedented because the writers and directors have injected a tragic core into him-you think he is hot, fried and cool, but he is lonely, fragile and helpless inside; You think this is a winner’s story, but it is also a story of "ordinary people" and "losers". "Angry" Nezha has a soft heart like ordinary people.

It is not difficult for the audience to see the shadow of Stephen Chow’s comedy from Ne Zha, and director jiaozi once said that he is a fan of Stephen Chow. Not only are there some comic images (like a bearded rough man with a girlish voice in the movie), but also some comic scenes (funny shit and urine). More importantly, the image of Nezha also continues the core of Stephen Chow’s comedy-comedy is tragedy. Borrowing a summary of Stephen Chow’s films by film critic Mei Xuefeng, "At the core of Zhou Xingchi’s films, at the core of that tragedy, a lonely man lives in his heart with a simple child, who is ignored by the secular world and silently and ridiculously adheres to his ideals."

Many expressions of Nezha in the film are reminiscent of many movie images of Stephen Chow. Maybe there is some reference in animation modeling?

Just like Nezha in the movie sang, "I am a little monster, carefree and free, killing people without blinking, eating people without salt." Is he really free and easy? He is desperate for approval, desperate for it. So when he finally got his first friend, Ao Bing, he was extremely happy and cherished (Nezha and Ao Bing kicked shuttlecock at the seaside, and they all had the appreciate each other feeling of "I raised you" in king of comedy); So when Li Jing tricked him into being the reincarnation of Lingzhu, he immediately devoted himself to doing good, killing demons and removing demons …

Nezha and Ao Bing should have a batch of CP powder.

Just like the little people in Stephen Chow’s movies, they have a humble dream; But once the cold world rejected their dreams, they also chose to trample on themselves while the world trampled on them. So Nezha said, if you think I’m a monster, I’ll be a monster. His self-indulgence seems to abuse the people in Chentangguan, and it is also self-abuse.

His abuse and self-abuse reflect the coldness of the world, just as the dragon king said in the movie, "People’s prejudices are like a giant mountain, no matter how hard you try, you can’t move them." Or more profoundly, the cruelty comes from the hands of Yuan Shi Tian Zun, who represents the feudal authority-the focus of "being born as a demon, so what" is not the burning of "so what", but what makes you think that some people are "born as a demon"? Assuming that Nezha and Ao Bing didn’t save the people in Chentangguan, are they doomed to be demons and be spurned in prejudice?

"Born to be a demon, so what?" focuses on the first half or the second half, which means completely different.

Nezha in Ne Zha has a self-protection skill acquired in cruelty-each of us has developed this skill: pretending not to care, pretending to be free and easy, pretending to be indifferent, pretending to be unsociable, pretending to be a bad person … At the moment of life and death in the movie, Nezha told his family that today is my birthday party, and none of you are allowed to cry. This is a moment of tears. But this moment also reflects to some extent that Nezha is still habitually protecting himself in his heart: What if you don’t cry when I leave? Therefore, he can only "strike first" and make everyone stop crying.

The burning of Ne Zha’s "My life is up to me" will impress many people, but if we go deep into it, it hides another narrative: how a person who has been abandoned by the world’s indifference and is extremely eager to identify with himself carefully guards his inner innocence and how to humbly please and live in prejudice. This may be even more worrying.

This film is not a simple "mourning" that can be summarized. Behind the hippie smile, it has real cruelty and pain.

Learn the domestic animation of "telling stories"

Over the past few years, The Return of the Great Sage, The Big Fish Begonia and The White Snake: The Origin have all gained a lot of praise, but they also criticized the voice, mainly focusing on: the story is too weak.

In fact, domestic animation had a glorious moment. After the Shanghai Animation Film Studio was formally established in 1957, it opened the golden decade of domestic animation. There is even a saying of "China Animation School" in the world animation circle, which refers to "a batch of animation works with distinctive China characteristics that originated in 1950s, matured in 1960s and harvested in 1970s and 1980s". The most classic in the history of animation in China, Make a scene in Heaven, was also born at this stage.

After the twists and turns in 1970s and the short revival in 1980s, Chinese cartoons fell into a long recession after 1990s, and the domestic animation market was basically monopolized by Japanese cartoons and Hollywood cartoons. Until recent years, domestic cartoons slowly rose, with several excellent cartoons almost every year. However, compared with Japanese or Hollywood cartoons, domestic cartoons still have a big gap. The technical gap has been continuously eliminated, and the core gap still lies in the ability to "tell stories".

The story, first of all, is reflected in the most basic, you have to have a beginning and an end, be fluent, have content and stand up. Although Ne Zha continues the legend of Nezha, his originality is extremely high, which not only reshapes the relationship between Nezha and Li Jing, Ao Bing and others, but also makes the images of Li Jing, Ao Bing and Shen Gongbao full, three-dimensional and moving as never before. Ao Bing and Shen Gongbao are the other side of Nezha, but they face different cruel choices. Aobing and Li Jing in the movie should be able to circle a large number of fans.

Secondly, it is the level of imagination. The media form of animation determines that it can contain imagination to the maximum extent, not worrying about not being able to present imagination, but worrying that you have no imagination and make animation technology useless. Many details in Ne Zha, such as the shuttlecock, the map of mountains and rivers, and the three-dimensional pinball, such as the action design and visual presentation during fighting, can make the audience fully feel the flying and gorgeous imagination.

The movie animation design is exquisite and amazing.

The level of storytelling ability is ultimately reflected in the level of values. A good story is both universal and advanced. Just like the cartoon "Where is the Sea?", it was amazing. Under the background of that time, how shocking was it to cut the flesh and bone and return it to the father?

At present, the core competitiveness of Hollywood cartoons is that they are too good at telling stories. The audience of cartoons is suitable for all ages, and its stories can be eaten by all ages. Children see one meaning, while adults can see another meaning. For example, in Zootopia, the whimsical animal world can bring joy to children. At the same time, the film’s mapping of politics and power makes adults relish it.

Generally speaking, the storytelling ability of domestic cartoons is still relatively weak, either too young, or too much emphasis on the so-called "adult orientation" and lack of balance. In this context, Ne Zha may be regarded as a small step forward in domestic animation, which tells a story that is not difficult to understand, but also tells a story with depth.

"People’s prejudices are like a giant mountain, no matter how hard you try, you can’t move it." People also have many prejudices about domestic animation. Ne Zha will "move" the huge mountain of prejudice, which deserves our support by buying tickets.
