1905 movie network feature Xu Anhua, who has made about 30 films for 40 years, once said: "I reckon I am within the top 10 directors in Hong Kong, but not in the world."

At the age of 73, she has passed her old age, and the world has "recognized" her. She ushered in the trophy of the first three major film festivals and won the trophyVenice International Film FestivalThe Golden Lion’s highest award, the Lifetime Achievement Award.

At the same time, she also brought the new work to Shuicheng. After the premiere, judging from the first wave of word-of-mouth, the quality was higher than expected.We interviewed Xu Anhua in Venice for her third adaptationEileen ChangNovel, she says this love story is unlike any other.

From the announcement of the film’s cast to the release of the first trailer, controversy has focused on casting.

　

Xu Anhua chose the sturdy Peng Yuyan to play the "bloodless, pale lips, and plaster-like" mixed-race son Georgie Qiao. Peng Yuyan revealed at a Venice media conference that he deliberately lost weight for the role, learned to speak Portuguese and learned to dance.chooseMa SichunTo play Ge Weilong, the external image and the description of the novel are appropriate, but the two do not look like the heroes and heroines in Zhang Ailing’s system.

Xu Anhua said that she had her own considerations. There are not many actors and actresses suitable for this kind of romance film on the market now, and the two of them have the characteristics of playing lovers. Feng Shaofeng, for example, does not look like Xiao Jun, but he has a pair of "lover’s eyes", which is very compatible with Tang Wei, who plays Xiao Hong.

The release of "The First Incense" continued the third fate of Xu Anhua and Zhang Ailing on the big screen.Regarding this "half-life relationship", everything still has to start from more than 30 years agoStart talking.

　

01

"Overturning" Zhang Ailing

　

"Love in the City" is the first film to adapt Zhang Ailing’s novel, and it is also the first time Xu Anhua has put her idol work on the screen.At that time, Xu Anhua had just finished filmingHe was eager to continue the play and signed a contract with Shao Enterprises. He thought he could show his skills, but he encountered obstacles everywhere.

　

"The way I’m used to creating is family production, working together, working in teams, not like a big company, impersonal, talking about power and calculating the stakes. The change in approach makes it difficult for me to do things. I work hard, and they are completely different from the things and values I pursue."

In Shao’s first year, she co-wrote the play "Evaporation from the World" with Gan Guoliang, which was the predecessor of the collaboration. The two quarreled and fell out during the collaboration.In order to leave Shao Enterprises as soon as possible and pay off the film debt, Xu Anhua decided to "Kuaishou Kuaishou quickly took a familiar novel to shoot", so there was "Love in the City".

　

In order to obtain the copyright, Xu Anhua contacted Song Qi, Zhang Ailing’s literary agent. Through Song Qi, Zhang Ailing replied to a handwritten Chinese letter. She agreed to authorize the adaptation and wished the film a good success.

　

It only took two months to write the script and prepare for it, and the male and female protagonists found Zhou Yun-fa and Miao Yu who had cooperated in it before.

　

The novel "Love in the City" has a touch of Hollywood neurocomedy style. A man and a woman develop feelings in the midst of spats, bickering and flirting, and finally, "the fall of a city completes their love.""The relationship between men and women in the story, I didn’t start to understand what they were talking about until I finished filming this movie," Xu Anhua said.

　

She used the tragic tone of "bitter hatred" to shoot a romantic love, did not know what kind of structure to connect Shanghai and Hong Kong, did not know how to use irony to write Bai ***** and Fan Liuyuan’s love relationship, had to use the usual realism and melodrama to transfer the scenes and dialogue photos in the novel to the movie.

Xu Anhua felt that she did not grasp the core spirit of the novel, and at that time she did not know how to correctly convert the images in Zhang Ailing’s words into film language, and transform those delicate psychological descriptions into perceptible visual images.

　

The novel reads: "As soon as the tassel enters the door, he can’t help but walk straight to the window. The whole room is like a dark yellow picture frame, inlaid with a large painting in the window. The strong, beautiful sea waves splashed directly on the curtains, dyeing the edges of the curtains blue." This sentence is based on the scene, and the side of the white tassel once again faces Fan Liuyuan’s excitement and anxiety.

　

The movie did capture the windows in the room and the azure blue sea, but the sea in the distance was calm, the scenery was flat and rigid, and the original charm and expression intention of the novel text were greatly eclipsed.

The whole movie just seems so stretched, with nowhere to borrow or apply force.

　

The casting selection was also very controversial. Miao Jianren always lowered his head and looked like a muted "resentful girl", which was very different from the original image. Xu Anhua complained that the art director cut Miao Jianren’s hair short for no reason, and the actor’s styling became a big failure.Zhou Runfa has the demeanor and temperament of the prodigal son of Fan Liuyuan’s love field. Many dialogues are flirtatious words, but Zhou Runfa said it in a more serious and frivolous tone. He did not deeply understand this character, and the interpretation floated on the surface.

Xu Anhua regretted not adjusting the acting methods of the two leading actors. "The actors have to be excellent dramatic actors, but they are very low-key actors. The acting is very life-like, so it won’t work."

Before filming started, she and Zhou Yun-fa went to Song Qi’s house to eat spring rolls. Song Qi suggested that Zhou Yun-fa should play Fan Liuyuan with humor and make the movie look like a comedy from the 1940s. Unfortunately, Xu Anhua did not listen carefully.

"Of course it failed!" Xu Anhua was very dissatisfied with "Love in the City". The production was rushed and there were no good ideas, including the two dancing. She knew that "I don’t know how to change the film and how to make them look good." She also reflected that the heroine might be able to get a new partner, such as Lin Qingxia or Wang Mingquan.

　

The first time she filmed Eileen Chang, Xu Anhua encountered "Waterloo", but she could also foresee the result. It just became more difficult to find funding for the next film, especially to adapt the Eileen Chang novel. "People would faint when they heard Eileen Chang," Xu Anhua said.

02

Don’t forget, there is an echo

　

At the beginning, the cooperation of "Evaporation of the World" was interrupted, and what Xu Anhua wanted to shoot most was not "Love in the City", but. Because she couldn’t go to the mainland to shoot on the spot, she couldn’t do this play without real scenes, so she had to give up for the time being.

In the next ten years, due to a lack of budget, the idea of adaptation was not yet fully mature, and the movie "Half Life" could not be formed.During the period, the directorTian ZhuangzhuangHe also revealed to Xu Anhua that he wanted to make a TV series "Half Life", and she replied that if she made a TV series, there would be no need to make a movie.

　

I never forget, until 1996, I raised 11 million funds, everything was ready, the actors and production team were better than before, the film started smoothly, and the shooting was completed in the estimated three months, unlike "Love" in a hurry.

The novel is more than 100,000 words long and involves three groups of families, Shijun, Manzhen and Shuhui. This time, Xu Anhua knows how to cut down the complexity and simplify it. He deletes all the parts about the family elders in the novel and the life content of Manzhen after marrying Zhu Hongcai, and condenses unnecessary scenes to highlight the main line of love between Manzhen and Shijun.

　

"I try to tell stories while creating suspense, and at the same time make some surprises for those who have read the novel, some according to the original, some not."

　

The plot of the novel is rather popular. Manzhen was framed by his sister and raped by his brother-in-law. If he is not handled well, he will easily be reduced to the conventional tune of soap operas.Xu Anhua knew that adaptations should firmly grasp one point: sensationalism should also be able to stir up the emotional resonance of modern people.

　

Therefore, Manzhen in the movie is not as passive and sad as in the novel, and her sister Manlu and brother-in-law Zhu Hongcai are not so bad.

Xu Anhua was good at filming daily life in reality, and the content of the novel "Half Life" was also more life-like, so her strengths suddenly had room to be used.

She doesn’t photograph Shanghai in the 1930s, which was feasting and feasting, but rather the factory district and semi-suburban areas. She portrays Shanghai with a sense of urban development, where personal destiny does not match any specific city, but is wrapped in the torrent of history.

In the first half of the journey, Manzhen, Shijun, and Shuhui were familiar with each other. The love experiences of Manzhen and Shijun were all shot calmly and slowly, in detail. After the two separated, the narrative began to be drastic and the pace accelerated."The filming method of this play must be simple and clear, because the story is complicated, it must not be messed around. I can’t make it very obscure and difficult to understand."

　

Xu Anhua transforms the psychological activities of Shijun and Manzhen in the novel into film narration, connects the narrative structure with Shijun’s memories, and connects the true face of this love with Manzhen’s inner words.

This time, the actors she chose were all in the right place.

Wu Qianlian was like a woman who came from Zhang Ailing’s novels. Dawn played the gentle Shen Shijun, which was a tailor-made. Anita Mui played Gu Manlu,GeexcellentPlaying Zhu Hongcai, the acting is not a problem, and the two characters seem "pleasing".

Xu Anhua’s design and ideas for scene scheduling are more sophisticated than in the past. Using a moving composition from the window inside and outside the window to explain the difference between Manzhen and Shijun, and a lens swinging outside the restaurant to end the silence when the two meet after a long absence, the image expresses the finishing touch.

　

Compared with "Love in a Alluring City", "Half-Life Fate" is much better in all aspects, and Xu Anhua is also confident that "Half-Life Fate" is a play that she can fully explain in terms of adaptation concepts.

　

03

Light a stove of agarwood shavings

　

If you want to single out the flaws of "Half a Life", it is Xu Anhua’s frequent self-criticism that the "film sense" is not strong. The film is not clear enough in art form and style, and it is not so refreshing.

Counting Xu Anhua’s representative works, "Half a Life" is difficult to rank among the top.

　

Xu Anhua told us in Venice that she continues to make films because she wants to make better films, and she pays more attention to the art form of film than ever before.

Take a look at the behind-the-scenes team of "The First Incense", the screenwriter recruited the famous writer Wang Anyi, the photographer is Du Kefeng, the costume is the Oscar-winning Hetian Emi, and the soundtrack is the famous Sakamoto Ryuichi. With such a golden lineup to support the scene, the production level has been upgraded a lot.

　

But when it comes to the art form, director Xu Anhua is always the backbone of the decision.

The copyright of "First Furnace Incense" can be traced back to the producer Xu Feng. Hou Xiaoxian made the film, and the original "Biography of Flowers on the Sea" was also translated by Zhang Ailing. Xu Feng invited Hou Xiaoxian to shoot "First Furnace Incense".

　

Hou Xiaoxian said, I’m sorry, I can’t shoot, you have to find Wang Jiawei, he is the most suitable. "Zhang Ailing’s emotions are very subtle, and there is also the atmosphere of that era in Shanghai. To be honest, it takes a lot of effort for me to shoot, just looking for actors will kill me."

　

In the end, the copyright passed to Blue Bird Pictures, which had helped Xu Anhua shoot "Fleeing to the Sea of Rage". For the copyright, Xu Anhua visited the Song family again. The person in charge of the novel was already Song Qi’s son Song Yilang, and his sister Song Yuanlin and Xu Anhua also had a friendship for more than 60 years.

Xu Anhua took over again, and she was all too familiar with Zhang Ailing. She agreed to be a producer first, and then confirmed to be a director. Unlike Hou Hsiao-hsien, who focuses on restoring the historical nostalgia of the 1940s in the novel, she said she values this unique love story more.

　

In her opinion, the theme of love in "Agarwood Crumbs · First Furnace Incense" is different from that in "Love in the City" and "Half Life". Ge Weilong in the story unilaterally loves Qiao Qiqiao, and this kind of love in an extreme and inferiority complex attracts her.

In the novel, Qiao Qiqiao is suave, like a young and poor version of Fan Liuyuan. Ge Weilong is a typical female figure in Zhang Ailing’s writing – she is still happy knowing that she is in deep trouble. Aunt Liang and the maid look and stare as if they came from "A Dream of Red Mansions", which is also Zhang Ailing’s favorite work of her life.

　

The text of the novel is mixed and discussed, and the "sense of film" is also strong. It uses space scenes and visual images to describe emotions, such as "snake letter" spit out, "diamond bracelet three inches wide", which is constantly inked in Mrs. Liang’s garden-like residence, pointing out the gold and jade. Among them, the metaphor refers to "China here is the China in the eyes of Westerners, absurd, exquisite, and funny."

Xu Anhua has always respected the core content of Zhang Ailing’s original works. She once said: "You can only adapt Zhang Ailing’s novels, not use them as themes."

　

The plot of the movie "First Incense" has been partially revised, and the plot continues to write Ge Weilong’s married life after marrying Qiao Qiqiao. The novel is only a few strokes away, and the movie spends about half an hour to uncover this dirty and depraved marriage.

After filming "The Golden Age", Xu Anhua said that she would make more films about Hong Kong’s history in the future, and then there was the current "First Incense".Xu Anhua likes Zhang Ailing’s novels, but also because she writes about Hong Kong in her eyes. The story time of "First Incense" roughly takes place in Xu Anhua’s childhood, and she is a witness to the colonial life and history.

Adapting Eileen Chang’s novel is a difficult task, and "Zhang fans" have their own different imaginations of the novel. Xu Anhua has risen to the challenge three times. How is this story of pre-war Hong Kong told? Can the "first incense" be ignited?

Only waiting for the release, waiting to find out.

Interview with Xu Anhua in Venice

　

1. You have adapted Zhang Ailing’s "Love in the City" and "Half a Life" before, but you are not satisfied. What is the motivation for shooting "First Incense" this time?

Xu Anhua:The concept of love in this story is different from the other two. I think it’s more adventurous, more novel, more interesting, and it’s an extreme form of one-sided love.

　

"Alluring Love" is about how two people who have different calculations about chance fall in love, and they need to calculate whether they should be together. "Half a Life" is about how circumstances hold them back. But "First Incense" is about the man, Georgie Qiao, who was born not to love Ge Weilong. Although Ge Weilong loves him very much, she chooses to marry, betting that Georgie Qiao will get better one day, but he does not.

2. What attracted you to this film project?

　

Xu Anhua:I want to do what I’m interested in now, and maybe people will think I made this movie because I wanted to shoot the nostalgic high society of the 1940s, Hong Kong, or the scene of that time, but the core story is more important.

　

Actually, I don’t like big productions because it takes a long time, you know, to get along with the art director and actually get the set built. And if I get real, if I get what’s going on in the street, I can capture the story very quickly.

　

"The First Incense" required a lot of preparation, and I felt like I didn’t have much time, but in fact, for us, the film progressed very quickly.Because I usually spend a lot of time on the script side, we started discussing the script at least two years before shooting. After the script was completed after a year and a half, it took about six months to visit the venue, discuss the cost, and the official shooting time was three months. Actually, it was quite fast, and considering the movie only had two main venues, we didn’t need to run around, and there were no war scenes or big scenes.

3. Why did you choose Ma Sichun and Peng Yuyan as the male and female protagonists?

　

Xu Anhua:Because it’s a love story, I think there are only so many actors and actresses that can film a love story together. There may be actors who are really good at acting, but they can’t do it in a love story because they don’t have the eyes.

　

You can imagine an actor or actress in a love scene through a certain quality of them. When you watch this movie, you will be moved. This is a special resonance, something that is not very common. When I was shooting "Golden Age", I chose Feng Shaofeng, who is not like Xiao Jun. I chose him to play this movie because I think he can play the love between the heroine and the heroine well, because he has a pair of "lover’s eyes".

　

4. The movie "The First Incense" also adds a lot of plot to the original novel. Why did it do this?

　

Xu Anhua:Now about a third of the script is new, and the added storylines and scenes are extrapolated from the novel. What will happen when Ge Weilong marries George? This part of the description is only one paragraph in the novel, but the movie takes 30 or 45 minutes to cover. Because I’m very interested in this part, it makes the conspiracy and conflict more obvious.

5. After filming "The Golden Age", you said in an interview that you would make more films about Hong Kong history in the future. After that, we saw "When Will There Be a Bright Moon". Did "First Incense" also focus on showing your thoughts on Hong Kong’s colonial history?

　

Xu Anhua:I was born in 1947, a couple of years after the time of the movie. And in the ’50s, I experienced colonization firsthand, and I think that was an advantage for me because I had a personal understanding of the era, so if I wasn’t making it, people were going to have to do a lot of research.

　

Some people would say that "The First Incense" is an allegory about colonialism, about the unbearability of colonialism, because it is like happening anywhere in the world. In high society, there are many depravity, and these depravity have to be hidden in a very colorful and beautiful and flashy appearance.

6. You still have a great passion for film. What motivates you to keep looking for new projects?

　

Xu Anhua:In the last few years, I’ve started to feel more confident in myself because I know more and more how to make movies, but I was frustrated because I knew my energy was dropping, I couldn’t shoot more than 10 hours a day. Making movies, especially for directors, takes a lot of energy. But at a certain age, you can’t do that anymore.

　

I just wish I could stick with it for a few years and try to make better movies. I now have a better grasp of the characters, actors, casting, etc., but I still have a lot of work to do in this regard of film as an art form, which I’m sorry because I’m always busy doing one thing after another, telling different stories, making different movies, and I don’t think too much about the art form of film itself.

　

If you want to get a pass to the Venice Film Festival, you have to do it. It’s not that I can do it, it’s just that I have to work hard. It’s not about talent, it’s about making a film in an art form that reflects the theme and integrates with it, which is completely different from just shooting.

1905 movie network news　In terms of "hard work", it is difficult for the Chinese film industry to compare with Jackie Chan. This is not the case. During the Shanghai International Film Festival, Jackie Chan announced that he was going to make a new film again. On June 19, the film "Raging Sandstorm" held a press conference in Shanghai to officially announce the launch. On the same day, Jackie Chan appeared with director Scott Wolf and actor John Cena and introduced the origin of the whole project to everyone.

"Raging Sandstorm" tells the story of a veteran special forces soldier Luo Feng (sound) who met a foreign mercenary in the Middle East desert during a mission. The two men became allies after gradually getting to know each other and fought together for their beliefs. Jackie Chan revealed that the story was based on the real experience of an entrepreneur friend of his. After listening to it, he found an editor to re-adapt it. The whole creative process took two years and was not finalized until a month ago.

In the process of filming and other films in the past, Jackie Chan has entered the desert area many times to shoot. He admits that this environment is very difficult to shoot movies. Sand will limit the use of the shooting site, and people in extremely dry environments will also suffer from severe water shortage. However, the most terrifying thing in the desert is to encounter heavy rain. On the day of the press conference, it rained heavily in Shanghai. Jackie Chan "silently made a wish". After entering the desert, it must not rain, otherwise it will be bad to be trapped in the desert.

The rival actor who worked with Jackie Chan this time also has "real kung fu": John Cena, WWE World Wrestling Champion. Even Jackie Chan, the kung fu superstar, can’t help but tease himself: "I’m thinking about how to beat him reasonably every day now. I probably need to punch and run, or I’ll be finished if I get locked up by him." And John himself is not weak, thinking that he can definitely compete with Jackie Chan.

In addition to the script, characters and "kung fu", another reason for the collaboration between the two is the "Chinese complex" of John and the director Scott. John himself is a Chinese fan and his Chinese level is not bad. In order to give him a "big slap", Jackie Chan decided to teach the wrestling master to sing "Men’s Self-improvement" on the spot. John sang quite hard, but unfortunately the treble part was a little difficult, Jackie Chan said with a smile: "Let’s be your WWE champion!" Although the director Scott is not good at Chinese, he has also developed his own understanding of Chinese culture after more than three months of preparing projects in China: "I love hot pot so much!"

On the same day, "Raging Sandstorm" was officially launched, and the future crew will complete filming in the Middle East desert.

On August 25th, the website of China Securities Regulatory Commission showed that the overseas listing and filing information of Extreme Smart Technology Holdings Limited was approved. According to the filing notice of overseas listing, Krypton plans to be listed on the new york Stock Exchange and issue no more than 926 million ordinary shares. If the IPO is successful, it will be another new domestic car-making force listed in the United States after Wei Xiaoli.

It is reported that Krypton is meeting with investors in London, new york, China, Hong Kong, Singapore, California, Boston and the Middle East, with the aim of conducting a $1 billion IPO in the United States. The move will be made after Krypton received $750 million in a round of private financing in February this year, and may make its valuation exceed $13 billion.

Extreme Krypton is a new energy automobile brand owned by Geely. It was established in March 2021. After more than one year of its establishment, the news of its planned listing came out. In October, 2022, Geely first disclosed the plan of split listing of Krypton. By December, 2022, Geely Automobile announced that Krypton had submitted a draft registration statement for possible initial public offering to the SEC on December 7, new york time.

If Krypton successfully raised $1 billion in this IPO, it will be the largest IPO of China Company in the US securities market after Didi, which was successfully listed in the US in June 2021, and plans to raise about $4.4 billion. However, a reporter asked Extreme Krypton Automobile for the news that it planned to raise $1 billion in the US IPO. Extreme Krypton Automobile declined to comment.

As a young new car-making force, Krypton developed rapidly. In 2022, Krypton delivered a total of 71,900 Krypton 001 vehicles, exceeding the delivery target of 70,000 vehicles in that year. At present, there are three models on sale, namely, medium-sized and large-sized cars, medium-sized and large MPV, and compact SUV. The product system is gradually improving.

In July this year, a total of 12,039 new cars were delivered, up 139.7% year-on-year and 13.4% quarter-on-quarter. From January to July this year, a total of 54,700 new cars were delivered, a year-on-year increase of 127%. Since its listing, Krypton has delivered more than 130,000 new cars. In terms of market system construction, as of June 30 this year, there were 306 direct-operated stores (including offline stores such as Krypton Center, Krypton Space and Delivery Center), covering 75 cities across the country and 750 Krypton charging stations in more than 120 cities across the country.

However, judging from the financial report, the car is still at a loss. According to Geely Automobile’s mid-year report in 2023, the revenue of Extreme Krypton Automobile in the first half of the year was 21.283 billion yuan, with a loss of 810 million yuan. An Conghui, CEO of Extreme Krypton, once said that this year, the three models of Extreme Krypton 001, Extreme Krypton 009 and Extreme Krypton X are expected to deliver 70,000, 30,000 and 40,000 respectively, and the annual sales target is 140,000.

"I’m Cha Qiongfang, one of the first aid Hubei players in Shanghai. During more than two months of aid to Hubei, I saw that every medical staff was selfless and fearless, never giving up, racing against time with medical kindness and fighting against the virus, and no matter how tired or bitter they were, they didn’t complain or retreat. I saw the patients tortured by the virus, with the care and encouragement of medical care and patients, fighting death with strong perseverance until they took a step and walked towards the sun with a smile. I saw volunteers selfless dedication, do their best, risk being infected, and send thoughtful services to people in need. I have seen continuous support and care from the party, the government and all walks of life. "

On the last day of the 2020 Shanghai Book Fair, the English version of Diary of Doctor Cha’s Aid to Hubei was launched in Shanghai Jiaotong University. Talking about the origin of this book, Dr. Cha Qiongfang said, "What I saw, heard and thought always moved and inspired me. With my immature but true brushstrokes, I recorded what I saw in my eyes and felt in my heart, so that I can always remember this history and reassure everyone who cares about the frontline anti-epidemic … What I want to do is to pass it on and let everyone discover the truth, goodness and beauty behind the story. "

The Diary of Doctor Cha’s Aid to Hubei is edited by Renji Hospital affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine, written by Dr. Cha Qiongfang, the first batch of medical aid team members in Shanghai and the respiratory department of Renji Hospital, and published by Shanghai Jiaotong University Press. It is the first officially published anti-epidemic diary experienced by doctors who aid Hubei in China. From New Year’s Eve to March 31st, there were 67 doctor’s diaries, spanning 68 days of aid to Hubei, which is the most complete anti-epidemic diary published at present. The Diary of Doctor Cha’s Aid to Hubei reveals the code of China’s rapid control of the epidemic, and reproduces the bounden duty, kindness and courage of China people in the face of disasters and dangers under the correct leadership of the Communist Party of China (CPC), and builds a powerful Chinese power with this selfless and fearless spirit. The book has been loved by readers since it was officially published on April 20, and has been reprinted again and again in just four months.

Li Fang, president of Shanghai Jiaotong University Press, said that after the Chinese version of the book was first published, many internationally renowned publishing houses came to discuss cooperation. At present, copyright has been exported in nine languages, including the English version. After many evaluations, naturalogic Publishing House, a leading Canadian academic publisher in the fields of science, technology and medicine, was finally selected for the English version, with very rich academic resources and professional team. The English translation was completed by Professor Ye Xingguo, President of Shanghai Foreign Languages Society.

Xu Jiong, deputy director of the Propaganda Department of Shanghai Municipal Committee and director of the Municipal Press and Publication Bureau, said that the Diary of Doctor Cha’s Aid to Hubei recorded the protection of life by the most beautiful retrograde people and vividly demonstrated the value pursuit of life first. The release of the English version will make China’s anti-epidemic story widely spread around the world, and make due contributions to the ultimate control of pneumonia in Covid-19.

"The publishing industry has truly recorded the pioneers who fought against the epidemic and made selfless contributions, and strived to write a series of anti-epidemic poems with one heart and one mind, which condensed the majestic anti-epidemic forces and bred a great anti-epidemic spirit." Wang Weiheng, a second-class researcher in the Library Department of Publicity Department of the Communist Party of China Publishing Bureau, said that the Diary of Doctor Cha’s Aid to Hubei, which was selected as the topic list of key publications to be published in Publicity Department of the Communist Party of China in 2020, is such a good book that demonstrates the power of example and shows the great spirit of fighting the epidemic. I hope that the publication in more languages can provide overseas readers with a window to understand the real experience of Dr. China in fighting the COVID-19 epidemic and provide valuable China experience for the global fight against the epidemic.

Liu Jianguo, executive vice-chairman and secretary-general of China Publishing Association, commented that Diary of Doctor Cha’s Aid to Hubei has a unique perspective and stands out among many anti-epidemic books, which is the result of years’ deep cultivation in thematic publishing by Jiaotong University Press. Gu Feng, deputy secretary of the Party Committee of Shanghai Jiaotong University, said that Shanghai Jiaotong University supported the publishing house to carefully plan and publish a number of publications that vigorously promoted the spirit of anti-epidemic and popularized the scientific knowledge of epidemic prevention and control, and exported them to influential overseas publishing houses. "To build a world-class university, we must not only achieve a leap in teaching and scientific research, but also strive to be first-class in spreading scientific knowledge and competing for the right to speak internationally."

"It has been more than four months since I returned to Shanghai, and my work has already been on the right track. Outpatient service, ward, consultation, teaching … "Cha Qiongfang said," What is needed now is to continue to do a good job in epidemic prevention and control during the process of returning to work and production. The experience of fighting the epidemic in Wuhan has greatly inspired my future life. I will bring generate’s fighting spirit and dedication to my future work to better serve patients. "

"Pass on China’s anti-epidemic experience and anti-epidemic spirit to the world, and let the world see the’ road map’ of China’s war and epidemic, and the strength of the people of China to unite as one, overcome difficulties together, and build a tower." Dr. Cha expressed special gratitude to readers at home and abroad for their support and love for this book. The launching ceremony was hosted by Shanghai Press and Publication Bureau and Shanghai Jiaotong University, and was undertaken by Renji Hospital affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine and Shanghai Jiaotong University Press.

On the evening of January 29th, Zotye Automobile Co., Ltd. (Zotye Automobile, 000980.SZ) issued a performance forecast, and it is estimated that the net profit attributable to shareholders of listed companies will be 750-900 million yuan in 2023, compared with 910 million yuan in the same period last year, which narrowed the year-on-year loss. In 2023, the company’s vehicle business is still recovering, and the sales volume is small. At the same time, the company plans to make provision for asset impairment and bad debts totaling about 300 million yuan to 400 million yuan, so the overall performance is still at a loss.

Fan Zhendong and Malone were replaced by Liang Jingkun and Wang Chuqin in the Asian Cup list published by ITTF. This arrangement is considered that Guoping is training these two players to prepare for the Paris Olympic Games. However, there are also many people who think that Fan Zhendong and Ma Longming should not walk Liang Jingkun and Wang Chuqin in this way. However, there are also difficulties. Liu Guoliang was forced to do nothing, and the German media revealed the reasons.

At Chengdu World Table Tennis Championships, Qin Zhijian gave all five players a chance to play, but Liang Jingkun and Lin Gaoyuan only played in the group stage to feel the atmosphere of the competition. After entering the knockout round, Qin Zhijian always insisted on using the lineup of Fan Zhendong, Malone and Wang Chuqin. Even though Wang Chuqin and Fan Zhendong lost to Zhang Benzhihe in the semi-final, Qin Zhijian didn’t adjust the lineup, and finally won the championship with these three people.

After the World Table Tennis Championships, the entry list of the Asian Cup was confirmed, Liang Jingkun and Wang Chuqin got the opportunity to participate, and Fan Zhendong and Malone, the top two players in the world, were replaced. Fan Zhendong and Malone don’t seem to need the opportunity of the Asian Cup to prove themselves, but the quota of Liang Jingkun and Wang Chuqin is really not convincing. In particular, Liang Jingkun was in the whirlpool outside the court recently, and his finalist also caused a lot of controversy.

A few days ago, German media issued a document in evaluating the World Table Tennis Championships, pointing out that China might not be able to cope with the situation of lacking two superstars at the same time. German media specifically pointed out that Fan Zhendong and Malone have been the guarantors of the success of national table tennis for many years. In contrast, the German team won the runner-up of the men’s team under the leadership of Qiu Party in the absence of three main players, Bohr, Ocharov and Francesca, and completed the replacement problem that should have been solved at the Paris Olympic Games.

German media actually pointed out a problem of Guoping, that is, besides Fan Zhendong and Malone, we don’t have a third stable and reassuring point. As you can imagine, if our team of Lin Gaoyuan, Liang Jingkun and Wang Chuqin sent in the final of the World Table Tennis Championships, I’m afraid they may not be able to beat the German team, but more likely they will be eliminated by the Japanese team in the semi-finals. Therefore, Liu Guoliang let Liang Jingkun and Wang Chuqin participate in the Asian Cup, which was also forced by the situation. He had to exercise these two people in this way.

The national table tennis men’s team has no other way to go now. One of Liang Jingkun and Wang Chuqin must be forced out to make them grow into stronger players. Whether Malone can participate in the Paris Olympic Games is very variable. One of the national table tennis players must be able to join hands with Fan Zhendong to challenge the Olympic champion, which is one reason why Liu Guoliang must walk Liang Jingkun and Wang Chuqin to participate, forcing them to make progress.

There is no doubt that smart factories are the core of the future manufacturing industry. But what exactly is a smart factory, what technology makes it work, and what makes it "smart"?

In short, smart factories are manufacturing facilities that rely heavily on digital technology to improve efficiency and productivity. This means integrating 3D printers, collaborative robots, 5G, artificial intelligence, SERP, cloud computing, edge computing and so on into the manufacturing process.

Looking at the Solution Theater of Smart Factory Expo from the 2021 event.Book free tickets for Smart Factory Expo..

With so many cutting-edge technologies, smart factories can run with speed, accuracy and flexibility that traditional factories can’t match. As the world increasingly relies on digital manufacturing processes, smart factories will only become more common–and more important.

Of course, there is no "magic bullet" when it comes to creating smart factories. On the contrary, numerous emerging technologies have gathered together, bringing the manufacturing industry into a new era. Here, we focus on some key technologies that are indispensable to realize this vision.

Understand the technologies used in smart factories.

3D printing

A smart factory is incomplete without a few 3D printers. These multifunctional machines can use digital design as a guide to manufacture parts and products from scratch. As they can produce items on demand, they are very suitable for prototyping, small batch manufacturing and even customized orders.

3D printing or additive manufacturing gives the technology an appropriate name and is creating a brand-new world for design engineers. It is very suitable for quickly creating functional prototypes and highly detailed end-use parts, and it opens the door to complex geometric structures that cannot be realized by any other means. Far from being a one-size-fits-all technology, 3D printing uses a variety of processes, technologies and materials, including stereo lithography, selective laser sintering, multi-jet fusion, multi-jet, fused deposition molding (FDM), vacuum casting and direct metal laser sintering, all of which can be used to quickly build parts within the scope of plastics and metals.

3D printing can help reshape the future of manufacturing and design. In the modern world, customers demand a higher level of product personalization and customization. Therefore, 3D printing can become a differentiation factor for manufacturers to plan their supply chain strategies. If you can quickly print the exact parts you need on demand, then why do you need to store a large number of complete parts and assemblies, which will reduce the demand for spare parts?

Cooperative robot

Cooperative robot or cooperative robot is another key component of intelligent factory. These physical multifunctional machines are designed to work with humans, making them ideal for tasks such as packaging and assembly. And because of its user-friendly interface, cooperative robots can be easily trained to perform new tasks as required.

Unlike traditional robots, collaborative robots can be deployed in a few weeks, so they can save money quickly. For manufacturers, other advantages of collaborative robots are that they are easy to set up and program, and flexible enough to move around the factory.

Collaborative robots have the potential to take over 3D jobs-dirty, dangerous and boring-many of which are still done by humans. By cooperating with collaborative robots, employees can focus their time on more fulfilling roles and reduce the time spent on ordinary roles, thus improving their overall happiness. This includes getting rid of night shift, which, as we all know, will have adverse effects on workers’ health.

5G

5G is the next generation wireless technology, which will completely change the manufacturing industry. This is because smart factories rely heavily on data, and 5G will provide the high-speed, low-latency connection needed to quickly and efficiently transmit large amounts of data.

5G can provide solutions to the biggest challenges of manufacturing industry, from achieving net zero and attracting future talents to maximizing uptime and accelerating product development. Next-generation mobile connectivity provides almost unlimited capabilities, and it is possible to completely change every stage of manufacturing operations. With so many potential applications, manufacturing is one of the industries that is expected to benefit most from the arrival of 5G.

It is about ten times faster than 5G and 4G, and the peak speed can reach more than 1gbps (gigabits per second). Moreover, unlike previous generations, 5G is not just an upgraded communication network. It was built from the ground up to provide a better user experience, support new deployment models and provide new services.

artificial intelligence

Artificial intelligence (AI) is another area where smart factories lead the trend. Artificial intelligence can be used for tasks such as predictive maintenance, quality control and material handling. With the continuous development of artificial intelligence technology, smart factories will only become more efficient and effective.

Artificial intelligence will see the combination of data collected from sensors, machines and people, and then apply it to algorithms aimed at optimizing operations or realizing lights-out manufacturing. Although we are still a long way from realizing this scenario, in many other use cases, manufacturers are rapidly adopting artificial intelligence and spanning the value chain of the whole industry. Use cases revolve around workplace safety, machine/building management, machine vision and network security.

Combining AI/ML with other technologies such as sensors, machines and human input will significantly improve operations and may lead to new forms of industry innovation and productivity.

Smart factory workshops are usually equipped with SERP system, which stands for "self-repair and error prevention". These systems use sensors to detect errors in real time, and then take corrective measures to prevent errors from happening again. This helps to reduce waste, improve quality and keep the production line running smoothly.

Enterprise resource planning (ERP)

In industries such as manufacturing where efficiency is king, ERP can change the rules of the game. ERP behavior is a method to centrally manage all aspects of facility operations and processes, and allows unprecedented visibility, coordination and management in different processes that make up manufacturing business-ultimately improving operational efficiency.

Considering the numerous processes that must happen every day to keep the facility running, ERP and manufacturing are natural partners. ERP can not only help inventory management, supply chain, maintenance and quality assurance, but also make these processes communicate with each other.

cloud computing

Cloud computing is a must for smart factories. This is because cloud-based systems provide the scalability and flexibility that smart factories need to keep agile. In addition, they can help reduce costs by eliminating the need for on-site hardware and software.

By providing computing services such as server, storage, database, network, software, analysis and intelligence on the Internet (or cloud), manufacturers can realize faster innovation, flexible resources and economies of scale. Cloud services usually adopt a pay-per-use model to help companies reduce operating costs, run infrastructure more efficiently, and expand as business needs change.

Besides cost and speed, other advantages of cloud services include the ability to deliver the right amount of IT resources from the right geographical location when needed; No need for complex on-site infrastructure, such as "shelving and stacking", hardware setup, software patching and other time-consuming IT management chores; Of course, improve reliability and security. In addition, many cloud computing services run on the global network of secure data centers, which are regularly upgraded to the latest generation of fast and efficient computing hardware.

Edge calculation

Edge computing is another important part of the smart factory problem. Edge computing systems are designed to process data locally rather than send it to the cloud, thus bringing enterprise applications closer to data sources such as IoT devices or local edge servers. This helps to shorten response time and reduce latency, which is essential for manufacturing applications. This approach to data from the source can bring powerful business advantages, such as faster insight, faster response time and better bandwidth availability.

Fundamentally, the data is processed and analyzed closer to the creation point. Edge computing can help unlock the potential of large amounts of data created by more powerful connected devices. This enhanced analytical capability in edge devices can drive innovation, improve quality and value, and provide near real-time insight and predictive analysis.

Digital twinning

VR Digital Twinning Demonstrated in AMRC Digital Operating Room

Digital twinning is essentially an auxiliary system of production facilities, which uses integrated simulation model to quickly find solutions when problems occur.

These simulations enable operators to get a glimpse of the core of physical assets, to determine the ideal operation workflow, and to quickly find clear options by using the current data flow to help system operators make decisions; There is no time and cost involved in testing theories in the real world.

These highly complex virtual models act as exact counterparts (or twins) of physical "things". Sensors connected to physical assets collect data that can be mapped to virtual models. Operators who view digital twins can see important information about the performance of physical things in the real world.

Digital twinning is an important tool, which can help engineers and operators understand not only the performance of products, but also their future performance. By analyzing the data from the connected sensors and combining with other information sources, we can make an accurate prediction.

Conclusion:

As you can see, many things need to be done to build a smart factory. But with the help of these cutting-edge technologies, intelligent factories can run with speed, accuracy and flexibility that traditional factories can’t match. As the world increasingly relies on digital manufacturing processes, smart factories will only become more common–and more important.
