  Ai growing pains

  Editor’s note In recent years, artificial intelligence has developed rapidly and its application fields have been expanding. However, at the same time, AI "rollover" cases are frequently searched. Based on this, this edition opens the column "AI Growing Pains" to focus on AI "rollover" events, analyze the phenomenon, analyze the reasons, explore the solutions, and look forward to its growth.

  After the game, it is probably unprecedented for fans to ask referees to wear hats or wigs.

  At the end of October, Scottish fans experienced an "unforgettable" football match. In the Scottish Football Champions League match between Furness and Elven, the AI cameras on the sidelines turned a blind eye to whether the players passed the ball or attacked with the ball. Instead, they followed a linesman and took a close-up of "C position" from time to time. It turned out that the AI camera mistakenly identified the referee’s bald head as a football, so he chased the whole game crazily.

  Fans who watched the 90-minute game at home spent most of their time not watching the ball, but watching the bald heads. Many netizens joked that this game really "saw a loneliness".

  Why does the AI camera regard the bald head as a football? What do we need to do to prevent AI from making similar mistakes? Can you think that AI is "weak" when there is a "rollover" incident?

  Unconscious "provocation" from bald referees

  From direct participation in sports events to recording athletes’ performance, to live broadcast of competitions and analysis of athletes’ health status, AI is becoming the darling of the sports world. A few months ago, Barcelona Football Club (Barcelona) also joined hands with video technology company Pixellot to create an artificial intelligence coaching solution.

  Unexpectedly, AI, which has made great strides in sports, unexpectedly encountered an unconscious "provocation" from a bald linesman. Because the linesman’s bald head is too bright and the sun shines, the AI camera can’t tell which is the ball and which is the head. Previously, because the Furness team said that the AI tracking technology they used could clearly transmit the live images to the homes of every season ticket buyer, so that fans who could not go to the home due to the COVID-19 epidemic would not miss any game.

  It is reported that the camera used in the live broadcast of this competition is the multi-camera system provided by Pixellot, which cooperates with Barcelona. The system is powered by NVIDIA’s graphics processor (NVIDIA GPU), and the captured video resolution can reach 8K. These cameras can be installed in a fixed position without being manipulated by the camera operator. In order to capture the key moments, Pixellot collected hundreds of thousands of hours of sports videos to train its algorithm on the NVIDIA GPU of the local workstation.

  With a huge amount of available data, using deep learning algorithms and high-performance GPU computing blessing, it has three major driving forces to push AI forward. Why did Pixellot’s AI camera "roll over"?

  After the event, the relevant clubs and the technology companies that make cameras reflected. The problem seems very clear: the size and shape of football are similar to those of a human head, and the direct sunlight makes the AI camera fall into "confusion". I hope this will not happen again, because the Furness team responded that it knew the problem and will improve the next game to bring a better experience to the audience.

  Pixellot also said that it is not difficult to solve this problem. The existing target detection and tracking technology is mature. Pixellot didn’t consider the influence of bald head in the design stage, so it needs to collect some data of football and bald head to fine-tune the algorithm to eliminate the interference from bald head.

  Some technicians said that not only "this is a ball" data set, but also a "this is not a ball" data set is needed when training the AI camera of the live ball game. Bald head, bright white shoes, lighting, balls on the training ground next to the competition field and balls used by players to warm up are all interference factors that need to be considered when training AI.

  AI "poor eyesight" is the norm.

  Although the performance of AI cameras can be improved by increasing data "feeding", strengthening training and improving algorithms, some professionals believe that with the gradual expansion of AI application scenarios, such "rollover" incidents will exist for a long time.

  “AI‘ Rollover ’ It’s normal, no ‘ Rollover ’ It’s strange. " Professor eecs and Huang Tiejun, president of Beijing Zhiyuan Artificial Intelligence Research Institute, spoke frankly when interviewed by Science and Technology Daily reporter.

  Huang Tiejun believes that on the surface, the failure of the AI ? ? camera may be due to insufficient pre-training, but the main reason is that the current computer identification system is only trained with specific data. For example, in the above example, the neural network trained with a large number of football videos has surpassed humans in identifying football, but it ignores that this network is more sensitive to bald heads.

  It is common to recognize or "turn a blind eye" unknown objects at random.

  Machine vision is to endow the machine with visual perception, so that the machine has the scene perception ability similar to that of biological vision system, which involves optical imaging, image processing, analysis and recognition, execution and other components.

  "Take the camera as AI ‘ Eyes ’ In real scenes, there is still a long way to go for AI to recognize football and baldness like human eyes. " Huang Tiejun said.

  When can I finish this road and even realize that the eye of AI surpasses the human eye?

  It depends on when machine vision will bridge the gap with biological vision. "The brain in the skull senses the outside world in real time through more than 3 million nerve fibers, of which there are more than 1 million behind each eye." Huang Tiejun said, "The machine vision developed to this day is still a drop in the bucket compared with the biological vision system that took hundreds of millions of years to evolve."

  The human eye has strong adaptability, can identify targets in complex and changing environments, has advanced intelligence, and can use logical analysis and reasoning ability to identify changing targets and summarize laws. On the other hand, machine vision can use artificial intelligence neural network technology, but it can’t identify the changing target well. Due to the constraints of hardware conditions, the current general image acquisition system has poor color resolution.

  "Compared with biological visual neural networks, the visual neural networks of artificial intelligence are far apart in structure and scale, so their functions are much worse." Huang Tiejun said, "In real applications, machine vision ‘ Rollover ’ It is not an accident. It is only a case to identify the bald head as a football. Similar problems actually exist in large numbers. "

  Huang Tiejun said: "This time, the technology provider can make up for the loophole that the bald head mistakenly thinks of football, but there are still more loopholes. Deceiving the face recognition system with antagonistic picture training is only the tip of the iceberg."

  Different technical routes are racing.

  "Machine vision based on deep learning has made great progress in image recognition, but it has not really solved the perception problem." Huang Tiejun believes that deep learning is far from grasping the complexity of human visual system.

  Deep learning is based on the training of image and video big data, which is far from the biological vision that actively perceives the dynamic world, and it is still not out of demand for computing power. For example, if the video frame rate is increased from 30 to 30,000, the computing power of deep learning needs to be increased by 1,000 times.

  Biological neural network is a pulse neural network, which is more suitable for completing visual information processing. Huang Tiejun believes that learning from the neural network structure and information processing mechanism of biological vision system and establishing a new set of brain-like vision information processing theory and technology is the hope of restarting machine vision.

  Experts said that there are two main technical routes to develop artificial machine vision. One is to build a powerful intelligent system by collecting more data, increasing the amount of data and strengthening training; The second is to imitate the biological nervous system, follow the gourd painting gourd ladle, clarify the structure and even mechanism of the biological nervous system, and develop future intelligence on this basis.

  Huang Tiejun believes that the second path is more effective than the first one. "In a short time, the first one is easier to achieve results. But in the long run, it is more direct to start with biological neural networks and more confident to achieve the goal. "

  At present, most AI scholars support the first path, that is, to develop artificial intelligence including machine vision through "big data+big computing power". Huang Tiejun set foot on the road taken by a few people because he firmly believed that the biological visual neural network had great potential to be tapped. "Biological brain is the product of hundreds of millions of years of evolution, and it is the best transcendental structure. Powerful intelligence must rely on complex structures and stand on the shoulders of evolution. It seems difficult, but it is the fastest. "

  Turing, the "father of computer science", has long expressed his admiration for the biological brain. At the beginning of 1943, Shannon suggested that "cultural things" could be instilled in the electronic brain. Turing once retorted in public: "No, I’m not interested in building a powerful brain. What I want is just an ordinary brain, just like the head of the chairman of AT&T."

  Is developing machine vision, or artificial intelligence, starting from scratch, imitating biological neural networks, or is there another way? There is no conclusion yet. On different tracks, artificial intelligence is accelerating.

  Although there are many cases of AI "rollover", such as the practicability of Google AI eye disease diagnosis system is greatly reduced in Thailand, Tencent AI translation made a joke at the Boao Forum in 2018. But the AI era is accelerating and unstoppable.

  "It must be admitted that AI has indeed solved many practical problems, and it will gradually replace some functions of people. But we can’t exaggerate it too much. It is still far from our imaginary intelligence and needs more breakthroughs. " Huang Tiejun said that to keep an open mind and bridge the gap between "experimental simulation" and "real world", the development of AI technology has a long way to go.

Hot search explosion! This snack, which everyone loves, collapses, and the cost is ridiculously low. What kind of meat is used?

  Baked starch sausage

  It is a "online celebrity snack" that many people love to eat.

  But recently,

  The starch sausage was "collapsed"

Hot search explosion! This snack, which everyone loves, collapses, and the cost is ridiculously low. What kind of meat is used?

  Baked starch sausage at roadside stalls all over the country

  The price is generally 2-3 yuan/root.

  In the wholesale market

  The price of starch sausage is about 0.5-0.6 yuan per root.

  The cost price of factory production is lower.

  At this price.

  Is there meat in the starch sausage?

  What kind of meat, if any?

  If there is no meat

  Where does the meat flavor of starch sausage come from?

Hot search explosion! This snack, which everyone loves, collapses, and the cost is ridiculously low. What kind of meat is used?

  Five common starch sausage products bought by reporters in the market

  The meat in the starch sausage is mostly bone mud.

  Commonly used in pet food production.

  A comprehensive observation of the five brands of starch sausage with high sales volume on the market at present shows that there is little difference in the ingredient list, and they are basically composed of meat, water, starch, white sugar, monosodium glutamate, spices and other seasonings, as well as additives such as sodium tripolyphosphate, sodium pyrophosphate, sodium hexametaphosphate, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose and temptation red, totaling 15 or 6 components.

Hot search explosion! This snack, which everyone loves, collapses, and the cost is ridiculously low. What kind of meat is used?

  List of ingredients for starch sausage products

  According to the General Rules for Labeling in prepackaged foods, all ingredients should be arranged one by one in descending order of adding amount when manufacturing or processing food, but the "starch sausage" ranked first in the ingredient list is meat.

  The staff of a starch sausage manufacturer in Henan revealed that they all use chicken and chicken bone paste, and duck meat is cheaper, and most of them are starch.

  At present, most of the people who sell chicken bone paste are merchants who operate pet food, and the merchants said: "Bone paste is not recommended for people to eat, and barbecue is not good."

Hot search explosion! This snack, which everyone loves, collapses, and the cost is ridiculously low. What kind of meat is used?

  The picture shows the "chicken bone paste" product searched and displayed on the e-commerce website.

  He Jiguo, an associate professor in the College of Food Science and Nutritional Engineering of China Agricultural University, once said that the use of chicken neck mud and chicken rack mud instead of the original meat is essentially adulterated and shoddy, and the nutrients in it can’t be absorbed by the human body.

  The staff of the starch sausage manufacturer also revealed that the ex-factory price of starch sausage is 80 yuan/box, and each box contains 120 pieces, totaling 24 kg. If you get more goods, you will get a gift, which is basically 50 cents to 60 cents.

  Starch sausage has less meat but full of "meaty taste"

  There is essence blessing.

  It is difficult for consumers to tell what kind of meat is in the starch sausage when they eat it.

  On the one hand, because the amount of starch sausage meat is small; On the other hand, an important ingredient in the seasoning of starch sausage is essence. Judging from the samples of the five brands of starch sausage purchased, all the ingredients have flavors. The staff of the above-mentioned Henan starch sausage enterprise also directly said, "Don’t worry about less meat and no meat flavor, there are flavors.

Hot search explosion! This snack, which everyone loves, collapses, and the cost is ridiculously low. What kind of meat is used?

  Henan Shuangrun Food Co., Ltd. Flavor Barbecue Pork Sausage Enterprise Standard Screenshot

  There is no special national standard for starch sausage

  Although it looks like ham sausage, starch sausage is not produced according to the national standard of ham sausage, and there is a certain gap between the physical and chemical indexes of the product and ham sausage, so it can not be regarded as ham sausage product.

  According to the national standard, the sausage is in accordance with the General Rules for the Quality of Ham Sausage (GB/T 20712-2022). In terms of physical and chemical requirements, the starch contents of ordinary, excellent and super ham sausages are ≤10.0g/100g, ≤8.0g/100g≤6.0g/100g respectively.

  Taking the enterprise standard "Sausage" (Q/PFY 0006S-2023) of Panshan Fuyu Food Co., Ltd. as an example, the starch contents of three products, namely sausage, skin sausage and vermicelli sausage, are ≤10%≤10% and ≤25% respectively.

  However, other starch sausage manufacturers did not even limit the starch content of starch sausages.

  So, is there enough meat and corresponding protein in the starch sausage?

  As it turns out, there is no clear standard requirement in this respect …

  The protein content of the sample starch sausage purchased by the reporter is 5.295.5g/1009, which is lower than the most common standard of ham sausage. However, most enterprise standards for starch sausage do not make clear requirements for protein and other indicators.

  In addition, there is no special national standard for starch sausage, and the reference standard seems to be vague.

  A person from a standardized technical consulting company said that to formulate enterprise standards, it is necessary to refer to the raw material list and technological process of products and then synthesize multiple national standards or industry standards. If the national standard of cooked meat products is used as the basis for enterprise standards, as long as the meat in their products meets the national standard of cooked meat products. Of course, because there is more starch in starch sausage, you can also choose to use the national standard of starch products as the basis of enterprise standard.

  According to the relevant regulations, the description of enterprise standards should specify the contents that are stricter than the national or local food safety standards. However, in the enterprise standards of Panjin Yufei Food Co., Ltd., Henan Shuangrun Food Co., Ltd. and Panshan Fuyu Food Co., Ltd., only "the lead limit index is stricter than the national standard" is mentioned.

  The standard of starch sausage has not become higher for more than ten years.

  Water and fat in enterprise standards

  The content is getting higher and higher

  Although it has existed in the market for more than ten years, the standard of starch sausage has not improved obviously with the development of economy and society, but there are some signs of relaxation.

Hot search explosion! This snack, which everyone loves, collapses, and the cost is ridiculously low. What kind of meat is used?

  Screenshot of vermicelli sausage (Q/PFY 0004S-2013)

  Comparing the two standards, we can see that there is more water and more fat under the new enterprise standard of starch sausage of Panshan Fuyu Food Co., Ltd.

  In this regard, an expert who did not want to be named suggested that when consumers choose meat products, it is recommended to check the nutrition label and try to choose products with less fat and lower sodium content.

  Netizens are hotly discussing:

  The pure starch in the picture has meat?

  A few years ago,

  Ham sausage pursues more meat

  Adding starch will be rejected.

  Today, some consumers are

  Turn your head and pursue starch sausage

  Some people think they eat starch sausage.

  It’s not for meat.

  "Starch sausage, since the name is starch.

  There is no demanding meat quantity. "

  "The price of starch sausage is only scary when there is meat."

  "But I don’t like eating any meat."

Cai Zhenhua: The difficulty of foot reform does not hinder confidence to get out of the road of football with China characteristics

  BEIJING, Beijing, March 19 (Reporter Wang Muqing) On the occasion of the second anniversary of China’s football reform, the China Football Association organized an in-depth discussion among people in the football field. Facing the reporter, Cai Zhenhua, president of the Football Association, bluntly said that after the first step of the Overall Plan is basically completed, it will move towards the second step in the future. He said that when China’s football reform enters the deep water area, it will be confident that it can embark on a football road with China characteristics.

  The first step of foot reform has basically completed the goal of moving towards the second step in the future

  On March 8, 2015, the General Office of the State Council officially issued the Overall Plan for Football Reform and Development in China. In the past two years, the development of football in China has gone beyond the level of sports, including the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Education, the National Development and Reform Commission and other ministries and commissions, which have been deeply involved in the reform of football in China.

  Li Yuyi, executive deputy director of the State Council Inter-Ministerial Joint Conference Office and vice chairman of China Football Association, concluded: "‘ Three steps ’ The first step of the strategy has achieved initial results. " The so-called first step is clearly defined in the Master Plan: improving the environment and atmosphere of football development, rationalizing the football management system, formulating the medium-and long-term development plan of football, innovating the football management mode with China characteristics, and forming a pattern of coordinated development of football career and football industry.

  Speaking of this achievement, Cai Zhenhua said: "The first step has been basically completed, and (in the future) it is necessary to move forward to the second step." According to the Plan, the second step includes a substantial increase in the youth football population, the organization and competition level of professional leagues reaching the first class in Asia, the national men’s soccer team being in the forefront of Asia, and the women’s soccer team returning to the ranks of world-class strong teams.

  "No matter the colleagues in the football field, the society and the media, everyone has given great affirmation to the football reform in the past two years. However, the new contradictions of new problems arising in the development process need to be solved one by one. " Cai Zhenhua said, "We are confident that as long as we are on the right track and stick to the football reform, we believe that the hope of football in China will surely emerge. We will work hard to speed up this pace. "

  Football reform has entered the deep water area and is confident of stepping out of the road of football with China characteristics

  Cai Zhenhua said frankly that the reform of football in China is not a certain field, but all-round. At present, 94% of the primary tasks have achieved phased results, which can be copied and popularized. However, when the reform enters the deep water area, the difficulty will surely increase.

  He bluntly pointed out: "From the China Football Association to the local football association to the sports department, this reform is to change your own life, so it is very difficult."

  However, Cai Zhenhua believes that the initial results of the reform will give you confidence in the determination to deepen the reform: "As long as we respect the laws of football development, social development and market development, and learn from the experience of world football powers, we will certainly be able to combine China’s national conditions and embark on a football road with China characteristics."

  In the face of people in the football world, Cai Zhenhua mentioned a lot of exciting information, such as the goal of adding 60,000 football venues in 2020; For example, according to the international football industry accounting for 40% of the sports industry, by 2025, the football industry in China should reach at least 2 trillion yuan. He bluntly said that how to achieve this goal will be an important symbol to measure the success of the reform.

Liu Xiaolan, Vice President of TCL Huaxing: Panel demand recovery continues to lay out folding screens and car screens.

China Securities Network News (Reporter Wan Yu) Liu Xiaolan, vice president of TCL Huaxing, a subsidiary of TCL Technology, said in an interview with china securities journal recently that on the whole, the panel industry will continue to recover in demand this year, and TCL Huaxing will need to fix production, maintain healthy inventory and optimize the supply chain system to ensure delivery when the market changes. At the same time, TCL Huaxing will continue to lay out and maintain a high growth rate in the fields of fast-growing folding screens and car screens.    

Since the fourth quarter of last year, panel prices have continued to rise, and the panel industry has attracted the attention of investors. According to the research report of Huaxi Securities, the price of TV panels in early March is close to the high price in September last year. Due to the better downstream demand expectation and the early stocking of the whole machine factory, the current supply and demand are still tight. Huaxi Securities expects that the price of TV panels will still rise in the second quarter, and the price of TV panels is expected to break through the high level last year.    

Regarding the trend of the panel industry, Liu Xiaolan thinks that with the moderate economic recovery in China and the downward inflation in Europe and America, the overall purchasing power of consumers is rising, and the sales of TV, notebook computers, monitors and other products will be driven by the superposition of domestic "618" and summer holidays. On the demand side of the panel, she predicts that this year will be more optimistic than last year. On the supply side, panel enterprises have generally changed their business philosophy, from pursuing full production and full sales to fixing production according to demand. As a whole, the inventory of the panel industry is relatively healthy, and the panel price is relatively stable, so there is no more ups and downs.  

She introduced that TCL Huaxing will pay close attention to the changes in demand and ensure the flexibility of factory production, so that it can timely respond to the adjustment of production brought about by changes in the market. As a head enterprise, TCL Huaxing has built its own moat in the upstream supply chain. The company will also give full play to this advantage, continue to strengthen cooperation with the upstream supply chain, especially the strategic partners of key materials, establish strong links, share information, optimize the supply chain system, and ensure that TCL Huaxing’s factory can respond to uncertain situations in time and ensure the delivery of the whole supply chain.    

TCL Huaxing is also actively deploying in the fast-growing sub-categories such as folding screens and car screens. Liu Xiaolan said that folding screen mobile phones have become a fast-growing segment of mobile phone products in recent years. TCL Huaxing has launched a number of folding screen products, and has industry-leading technologies such as LTPO and PLP. On the one hand, the company will continue to make breakthroughs in folding screen technology in the future, reducing the weight and thickness of the screen, extending the battery life and service life. On the other hand, it will start with materials and design, reduce the cost of folding screens, and make folding screens more widely used in mobile phones, tablets, laptops and other products.    

TCL Huaxing’s shipments of in-vehicle screens also maintained a high growth trend. TCL Huaxing did not enter the in-vehicle field for a long time. Last year, the shipments were about 5 million pieces. Although the shipments were not large, the growth rate was large, which doubled and reached the first place in the industry. "In the past, we only made efforts on high-end car screens. At that time, we didn’t have a production line of amorphous silicon," Liu Xiaolan said. "After the mass production of t9 production line last year, we developed a lot of amorphous silicon car displays, and we will catch up with them at a very fast speed."    

The woman tells the story of "making friends" on the Internet: How did I get cheated of 200,000 yuan?

  The chat record between Ms. Jiang and the man

  Recharge again and again — Profit — Withdrawal and recharge — Profit — After the withdrawal, on September 8th, the 160,000 yuan that Jiang Morong, who lives in Chengdu, finally filled in, could not be withdrawn … …

  The customer service told her that she had to activate the account to withdraw cash, and the activated account had to deposit another 150 thousand. At that moment, she came to her senses: she was cheated! She immediately went to the police station to report the case!

  According to the police of the police station, in recent years, there have been a lot of telecom frauds to cheat single women by playing emotional cards. The police reminded the majority of women to be vigilant when logging in to the blind date platform and not to trust each other easily.

  Friends recommend logging on to dating sites, and strange men ask for help to buy "lottery tickets"

  Two months ago, 29-year-old Jiang Morong played an APP called "Iraq Team Dating Friends" under the recommendation of a friend. She said that this is a multi-party video dating platform, where you can make multi-person video calls with strangers. However, Jiang Morong said that she only logged in once and felt that it was not as fun as expected, so she uninstalled it. Later, a stranger named "Run old boys" added her WeChat and learned that she was a friend on the "Iraq Team" APP. She passed the WeChat. The man told her that his name is Wang Qichao, and he is 30 years old and works in Chengdu.

  Jiang Morong said that at first, everyone just chatted. After getting familiar with it, in early September, the man asked Jiang Morong to help him buy something similar to a welfare lottery on a website on the grounds that his ID abroad was limited and it was inconvenient to operate. Jiang Morong said that the man gave her a website address for her to log in to the account and directly help him place an order and buy a "lottery ticket".

  Earn money by earning the difference rate

  Seeing that netizens earn a lot of money has moved their hearts.

  The man told Jiang Mourong that this is a regular national welfare lottery to earn money by earning the loss rate, and told her that there is a loophole in the system now, as long as you buy it, you can make a steady profit.

  Jiang Morong told reporters that the man first asked her to help him rush 200,000, and then rushed 400,000, adding up to more than 2 million. "At the best of times, apart from the principal, he earned more than 100,000 yuan a day."

  Watching the man start making money, Jiang Morong also moved a little.

  Jiang Morong said that she also had doubts at first. First of all, the website’s URL was very strange. "It’s very short, unlike ordinary websites." Secondly, the website can only be opened with a specific browser, and after clicking into the website, it looks like a game interface, "a bit like gambling sites." However, the man said that this was formal, and Jiang Morong also considered that he only helped him buy it at that time. "I didn’t participate myself, so I didn’t think much."

  Start to pay for "money"

  The more you invest, the deeper you get.

  Therefore, she also registered two accounts to buy, and initially invested 20,000-30,000 yuan. At the end of the day, she still earned several thousand yuan, "and she can withdraw cash normally." After tasting the sweetness, she began to invest more and more, and the income was more and more. At most, she earned tens of thousands of yuan.

  But a few days later, on September 8, when she invested money again, the system prompted her not to withdraw cash. Ms. Jiang said: "The customer service said that she needed to invest 160,000 yuan to upgrade her membership." Ms. Jiang asked the man, and the man replied that she wanted to upgrade.

  After charging 160 thousand, the system still can’t withdraw cash. The reason given by customer service is that the first upgrade of members needs to be unlocked, and "we have to invest 150 thousand again." Here, Jiang Morong suddenly came to his senses: he was cheated. She immediately reported to the police station in front of the camp in jinniu district, Chengdu. After combing the transfer voucher, I was cheated of a total of 203,000 yuan.

  Reporter’s investigation:

  There is something fishy

  This is an illegal gambling website.

  The reporter saw from the screenshot of the transfer provided by Jiang Morong that the payee name of her transfer was a Beijing company named: Beijing Yiyang Tianxu Technology Co., Ltd. The reporter inquired from Tianyancha that the company was established on May 8, 2018 with a registered capital of 11 million and paid-in 11 million. Business scope includes: technical development, technical consultation, software consultation, computer system service, software development, sales of computers, clothing, shoes and hats, daily necessities, metal ores, etc.

  The reporter also searched the APP called "Team Iraq" used by Ms. Jiang, which is a video dating APP. The download volume on the platform has reached 19.62 million times. When registering, you need to enter your age, education, etc.

  The reporter logged into the website provided by the man to Jiang Morong, which is a website called "Jinsha Entertainment City", and now it can be registered and logged in normally. The websites include sports events, lottery games, Mark Six Lottery, live entertainment and so on.

  There is no contact number on this website, so all of them can only contact the customer service staff. The reporter consulted the customer service as a user, and as of press time, no reply was received.

  Police tips:

  Single women use dating sites.

  Be vigilant

  Compared with the first discovery that she was cheated and reported to the police station that the whole person was shaking, Ms. Jiang’s mentality was better after a few days of rest. She told reporters that this deception is that she knows too little about social information. After graduating from junior high school, she usually doesn’t watch mobile phones or TV, and she knows too little about telecom fraud. "At the same time, she has no defensive psychology and is too easy to trust people."

  She now recalls that from the very beginning to add WeChat friends, to let her help, and then to spend money to buy, all this is a routine. The reporter saw that in her chat with the man, the man also kindly called her "dear".

  On the morning of the 16th, she had received a notice from the police for investigation. Next, she will actively cooperate with the police investigation, hoping to recover the defrauded funds as soon as possible.

  The police at Yingmenkou police station told reporters: First of all, gambling and gambling are prohibited in China, so any gambling website is illegal. "In recent years, there have been many telecom frauds targeting single women, accounting for the vast majority." The police reminded that when single women log in to a certain dating website or social APP, they will have a good-looking opposite sex to chat with them. They basically play emotional cards. Once they gain your trust, "single women think everything he says is right." And their purpose is only one, that is, to let you invest money and cheat.

  The police reminded the majority of women that when logging in to the dating platform, they should raise their awareness, have the ability to distinguish, and don’t trust each other easily.

The first AI regulation bill is coming? European Parliament Passes Draft Bill on Artificial Intelligence

  On June 14th, local time, the European Parliament passed the draft AI Act with an overwhelming result of 499 votes in favor, 28 votes against and 93 abstentions. If legislation is passed, it may become the world’s first bill on artificial intelligence. However, the European media subsequently commented that it will take several years for it to fully take effect.

On June 14th, 2023, in Strasbourg, France, members of the European Parliament voted at the plenary session of the European Parliament. Vision china diagram

  According to a report by DPA on the 14th, the adoption of the draft means that the European Parliament, EU member states and the European Commission will start "tripartite negotiations" to determine the final terms of the bill.

  The German "Business Daily" commented on the 15th that the "Artificial Intelligence Act" is expected to be finally approved by the end of this year, but it may take several years before it comes into full effect.

  The European Commission hopes to reach an agreement before the end of this year, and the new bill will probably have an impact on relevant companies in 2026. After the bill is passed, in extreme cases, companies that violate the rules may be fined as much as 30 million euros (US$ 33 million), or 6% of the company’s global annual revenue, which means that for large technology companies such as Google and Microsoft, the fines may be as high as several billion euros.

  In 2021, the European Commission proposed the world’s first draft law to regulate artificial intelligence. Since then, the European Parliament and the Council of the European Union have conducted several rounds of revisions and discussions on the draft. After the emergence of generative artificial intelligence applications such as ChatGPT, EU legislators urgently discussed the issues not covered in the original draft.

  According to the draft, the EU should divide artificial intelligence systems (such as ChatGPT) into different risk groups. The more dangerous the application, the stricter the applicable rules. At the same time, the EU should also formulate a comprehensive ban on artificial intelligence, such as prohibiting interactive dialogue tools that encourage dangerous behaviors and predictive policing tools that are used to predict who will commit crimes. It is worth noting that in the latest draft presented by the European Parliament in official website, the real-time remote biometric technology is adjusted from "high-risk" level to "forbidden" level, which means that companies cannot use AI technology to recognize faces in public places in EU countries in the future.

  Regarding the EU’s legislation to strengthen supervision, Time magazine commented that the EU is not an important participant in the development of cutting-edge artificial intelligence, and this role is played by the United States and China. However, the EU often plays the role of guiding the tide, and its laws and regulations often become the de facto global standard, and it has become a pioneer in targeting large-scale technology companies.

Japanese publisher: Three-body is out of stock, which makes more readers understand China’s novels.

  As soon as it was listed, it sold out of stock, and "Three-body" was greatly loved by Japanese readers.

  On July 4th, the Japanese version of "Three-body" went on sale, and some bookstores quickly sold out, ranking first in the list of Japanese Amazon literary works. To this end, the largest science fiction publishing house in Japan, which is responsible for the Japanese version of Three-body — — Hayakawa’s study room had to quickly explain on social media that "we are grasping the third printing, please wait a little".

  "Earth-shattering science fiction covering all aspects of human history", "Once you start reading, you can’t stop, please translate the sequel quickly" and "unparalleled imagination is really amazing" … … As early as the previous trial reading meeting, Japanese writers and screenwriters, including Hideo Kojima, Hiroki Azuma and Y? Irie, the top game designers in Japan, gave high praise, and the waist cover of the novel was full of recommendations from big coffee in the industry.

  With the Japanese version of Three-body released, Hayakawa Study also held exhibitions and sales meetings of Chinese science fiction and reasoning works in major bookstores, involving works such as short masterpieces 1-3 and Rebirth by China science fiction writer Liu Yukun, Sacrifice of Spring in the First Year by Lu Qiucha, Beijing Folding-Selected Works of Modern China Science Fiction, and Variations by Diogenes by Chen Haoji.

  SF magazine, a science fiction magazine owned by Hayakawa Study, will also publish some works of China science fiction writers and articles written by three scholars on Three-body and China science fiction in its August issue with the theme of "Three-body and China science fiction writers".

  Can the popularity of "Three-body" open the China science fiction craze in the Japanese market? The Paper interviewed Yamaguchi, editor-in-chief of the "Three-body" project team in Hayakawa Study Room, and talked about the development and present situation of Japanese science fiction and his understanding of China’s science fiction.

  [Dialogue]

  The PaperHow did you feel when you first read Three-body?

  Yamaguchi crystalI once read Liu Cixin’s short stories and thought that the author might be a genius. After watching "Three-body", I believe he is a real, real genius! Reminds me of my feelings when I read The End of Childhood by Arthur C. Clarke (Arthur C. Clarke) or Base Series by Isaac Asimov (isaac asimov) when I was young. Three-body is what I want to see.

  The Paper: What touched you? How do you understand the "naokou" in the novel?

  Yamaguchi crystalExcellent storytelling ability and the author’s deep understanding of history, science and philosophy, and the perfect combination of the three. The beauty of Three-body is not only technology and knowledge, but also Liu Cixin’s powerful imagination, which constantly surprises readers and always exceeds our expectations. After Three-body won the Hugo Award in 2015, it took us three years to win the copyright of this novel in Japan.

  "Naoko" is like a metaphor against progress, rationality and peace in the real world. There are always things like Naoko in our society.

  The PaperHow do you interpret the relationship between "earthlings" and "threesomes"?

  Yamaguchi crystalI am not in favor of parallelizing or comparing the relationship between "earthman" and "three-person" with the relationship between China (or Asian) culture and western culture. It has a more universal meaning, which can be "new and old", "poor and rich", "small and big", or just "human and aliens". It is precisely because of this universality that "Three-body" is more entertaining and meaningful and has become a global bestseller.

  The PaperDo you have any expectations for sales?

  Yamaguchi crystalWe hope to sell 1 million copies of the first volume, but the goal at this stage is 100 thousand copies.

  The PaperCan you introduce SF magazine and its influence on Japanese science fiction?

  Yamaguchi crystalAs early as 1959, Hayakawa study room founded SF magazine, which is the second oldest science fiction magazine in the world. For decades, it has trained a large number of Japanese science fiction writers.

  Japanese science fiction began to sprout and develop under the influence of American science fiction. The first issue of SF magazine published the works of Arthur C. Clarke (Arthur C. Clarke), Issac Asimov (isaac asimov), Philip K. Dick (Philip K. Dick) and Robert Sheckley (Robert Sheckley), which inspired and enlightened many young people who wanted to be novelists. In addition, writers such as Robert A. Heinlein (Robert A. Heinlein), Kurt Vonnegut (Kurt Vonnegut Jr.), Ray Bradbury (ray bradbury) and William Gibson (William Gibson) are often introduced and mentioned, thus influencing a group of Japanese science fiction writers, whose works and influence are still popular and exist among readers.

  The PaperWhat is the development of Japanese science fiction? What are its characteristics?

  Yamaguchi crystalThe characteristics of Japanese science fiction are very diverse, and each generation of authors has its own distinctive characteristics. For example, the first generation of science fiction writers in 1960s, such as Sakyo Komatsu (Komatsu sakyo), Shinichi Hoshi (hoshi shinichi) and Yasutaka Tsutsui, Yasutaka Tsutsui, will surprise you when reading their works. Komatsu sakyo is famous for hard science fiction, while hoshi shinichi’s stories have fable-like flashes. Yasutaka Tsutsui is characterized by experimental novels that play abuse.

  Most of the first-generation writers have passed away. The second-generation writers in the 1970s, the third-generation writers in the 1980s, and the fourth-generation writers in the late 1980s and 1990s are still active in the literary world, publishing various types of works, such as hard science fiction, space opera, fantasy, military adventure, humor, Cyberpunk, literary science fiction and light novels.

  Japanese science fiction experienced what we call the "severe winter" in the 1990s, but in the 21st century, a new generation of writers such as Project Itoh (Project Itoh), Hitotaka Tobi (Fei Haolong), Ogawa Yishui and Toh Ubukata (Tou Ubukata) appeared, and Japanese science fiction became popular again. In particular, Project Itoh’s "Killing Organs" and "Harmony" are the milestones of the revival of Japanese science fiction.

  In addition, Japanese science fiction is closely related to comics, animation and video game industries, and classic cartoonists such as Osamu Tezuka and Reiji Matsumoto were influenced by the early science fiction movement. Even in this century, film directors such as Makoto Shinkai (Makoto Shinkai, masterpiece Your Name) and Sunao Katabuchi (film must be straight), and game producers such as Hideo Kojima (Hideo Kojima, masterpiece Metal Gear Series) are also loyal fans of science fiction.

  The PaperWhat is the popularity of Japanese science fiction in the market at present?

  Yamaguchi crystalIf we only talk about the publication of science fiction books, we can’t say that it is very big. The sales volume has been relatively stable and there are fixed readers and fans. However, if anime and animation are included, the market is huge. Many cartoons and animated films and TV programs have sci-fi elements, such as robots, time travel, future world and so on.

  However, these readers are very loyal to science fiction. They have their own reading and study groups, and they also organize activities and vote for awards. Every year, the fan group votes for the Seiun Award (the most sci-fi work and novel award in Japan), which is equivalent to the nebula award in the United States. It is also very active on social media.

  The Paper: which countries and themes of science fiction are more popular? What are the criteria you choose?

  Yamaguchi crystalScience fiction in China is very popular, and we expect that science fiction in non-English speaking areas will be the next trend. Asian science fiction mainly comes from China, and it will be a development window in the next two to three years. I hope so. There are many themes, and it is hard to say which ones are the most popular, but topics such as artificial intelligence, feminism, brain-computer interface, human-computer interface, dystopia, monitoring, robotics, information pollution, thinking uploading, genetic modification and space exploration will all have great attention and importance.

  We always pay attention to sales data and marketing data, but these figures can only explain what readers want now, not next year or five years later, which requires our professional to judge and predict the future trend. In the selection of works, in addition to Japanese local science fiction, we have also established a good cooperative relationship with Science Fiction World in Chengdu, China. Science Fiction World will also recommend some short science fiction novels from China to us, and we will also consult some of our own science fiction writers.

  The PaperWhat impression did China’s science fiction leave on you? Are there obvious characteristics differences between Chinese and Japanese sci-fi works?

  Yamaguchi crystalThe three most obvious characteristics that China’s science fiction gave me are: first, a strong imagination; Second, anxiety about the rapid growth of economy and technology; The third is the nameless fear for the future. As for the differences between the two countries, I haven’t read enough China science fiction novels to discuss the differences, but in my opinion, Cyberpunk has a greater influence on Japan, while the proportion of hard science fiction in China’s science fiction novels will be larger.

  The PaperJapanese science fiction writer Rihara Toye once said that "Japanese science fiction can’t be as influential as China’s science fiction because we don’t have Liu Yukun (English translator of Three-body)". What do you think of this statement?

  Yamaguchi crystalThat’s for sure. Japanese science fiction needs translators like Liu Yukun too much. In addition, I am very sure that the level of some Japanese writers has reached the standard of the world’s top science fiction writers, but for now, we really haven’t seen any science fiction writer who has such a great influence in the world like Liu Cixin.

  The PaperWhat impact will the hot sale of "Three-body" in Japan have?

  Yamaguchi crystalThere is no doubt that Japanese readers will want to read more China novels. We also firmly believe that Three-body will become a best seller. Hayakawa Study also plans to invest more money to develop the China book market. We hope that not only readers of science fiction, but also other engineers, scientists, researchers, scholars and intellectuals will learn about China’s novels.

7 am! Good news came from China football: Shandong Taishan made an important decision, and fans praised it in unison.

At 7: 00 a.m. Beijing time on November 3rd, the latest news came from China Football. According to the domestic media Jinan Times, next year, Taishan U21 team will participate in the 2024 League B in the name of Shandong Taishan B team, and this situation has also attracted the attention and discussion of many fans.

"Jinan Times" wrote: "Yesterday, the final stage of U21 League ushered in the penultimate round of competition. The top two U21 players in Taishan, Shandong Province had a direct dialogue with U21 in Shanghai Harbour.

In the end, Shandong Taishan U21 defeated its opponent with a score of 2-1, winning the U21 League championship this season one round ahead of schedule, and at the same time locking in the qualification for next season’s Chinese B League. "

According to the report of Jinan Times, Taishan Mountain in Shandong Province decided to let U21 team play in League B in the new season. Although the media did not disclose more information, the echelon of Taishan Mountain in Shandong Province was able to play in League B, which was not only good news for China football, but also attracted many fans’ praise in unison.

Some fans said: "Yes, we can continue to develop the U series league. The exposure of young players will increase and the development will be better." Some fans also said: "The youth training is well done. If there are 10 Luneng in China, it will not be so. At least Luneng has trained a large number of players such as Wang Yongpo, Han Peng, Liu Binbin, Zheng Zheng, Zhou Haibin, Wei Shihao, Xinghan Wu, Wang Tong, Fang Hao and Liu Yang. Only the Genbao base can compete with it. "

Of course, some fans said: "This is the real contribution to the national football. Some people in the comment area will say that Luneng has trained a few winners. Before asking this question, ask how many winners your home team has trained for the country. If you often pay attention to the leagues at all levels in China, you will find that there are countless players who have gone out of Luneng Football School. At least Luneng has done it and persisted for so many years, which is worthy of recognition! "

How to learn English? This article is thorough.

Recently, a video of a speech by Zheng Qiang, a professor at Zhejiang University, became popular on the Internet. In the speech, Professor Zheng Qiang pointed out: "In the past 20 years, we have over-exaggerated the weight of English in children’s growth education, and the wrong learning method has consumed a lot of valuable time of outstanding students, which is a manifestation of cultural self-confidence." This remark triggered a discussion among netizens, and many netizens said that "English is useless" and "English should withdraw from the college entrance examination".
From primary school to university, English has been with children in China, but few can really learn English well. Therefore, the discussion about whether English is useful or not and whether English should quit the college entrance examination has never been interrupted.
Returning to Professor Zheng Qiang’s point of view, it is not difficult to find that what he attacked was not English learning, but the wrong English learning method. He thinks that the wrong English learning method has delayed a large number of excellent students’ precious time.
This is what really needs reflection: how to learn English?
Why do you want to learn English
First of all, let’s think about the purpose of learning English: why should we learn English?
It is to use English for cross-border and cross-cultural communication, and to easily use English to read and absorb rich achievements and nutrients of human humanities, history and culture.
Starting from this goal, it is not difficult to find that if we set a standard for learning English well, the most direct thing is whether we can communicate with foreigners without barriers and whether we can read original English books and information without barriers.
English "Cowboy" succeeds in The Secret Behind.
In 2014, China Education Radio broadcasted such an exclusive interview: an ordinary 8-year-old boy spent four years writing 200,000 words of English novels at the age of 12, with almost zero starting point in English. His experience of English transformation and growth attracted the attention of the whole English teaching community.
The child’s name is Xiao Bowen, and his mother is Professor Cao Wen from Beijing Foreign Studies University. Professor Cao Wen said:
"His English enlightenment began when he was eight years old. He likes the feeling of snuggling up to me and listening to me tell him stories. I told him a story in English for three months, and then he could slowly start reading independently. With the combination of massive listening and reading, he has a very good starting point. "
"He is so happy, so without design, so unconsciously, he never remembers words, never recites texts, has no grammatical concepts, and has no real learning, but he has achieved positive results."
"And I’m still teaching a group of English majors over the age of 18 intensive reading and grammar. I hope they can write a 4,000-word English undergraduate thesis in four years!"
This incident made Professor Cao Wen very emotional: "Children’s English is not taught, it subverts my understanding of English learning, from just staring at textbooks to believing in the power of massive listening and interesting reading."
Coincidentally, in 2016, Anhui Business Daily reported that a 9-year-old boy from a township had been exposed to English since he was 6 years old. In just three years, he was familiar with college English textbooks, and his oral communication was very fluent. He could translate while speaking, and English teachers were afraid to ask him questions in class.
His experience has subverted many people’s cognition of English learning.
The 9-year-old child named Chen Shengjie comes from Baitafan Primary School in Jinzhai County, Anhui Province. It is understood that Chen Shengjie was exposed to English by his father, Mr. Chen, around the age of 6.
Mr. Chen said that the reason why his son Chen Shengjie reached the present English level was entirely accumulated by reading, listening and speaking more.
Mr. Chen mentioned that reading more is the key to improving English. When reading, you don’t have to pick words and grammar. The difficulty of reading can be improved little by little according to your child’s level. While reading, try to let your child express himself in English as much as possible. When the child can accumulate "barrier-free reading" and "barrier-free listening and speaking", he will naturally understand grammar.
Through the above two stories, it is not difficult to find that there are two key points for two children to become English "cattle" children: listening more and reading more.
Many people also know the benefits of listening and reading a lot to English, but they face many obstacles in real implementation:
Where can I find such a large amount of original English materials?
How to choose the original English materials suitable for your own level?
What is the appropriate amount of materials?
How to realize seamless docking of materials and systematic natural listening and reading?
What if parents don’t have the energy or ability to coach their children for bandu?
What if a single family can’t afford to buy English original materials because of the lack of channels and huge cost?
……
In the face of these problems, although everyone realizes the importance of listening and reading, it is difficult to implement, and finally it becomes a flower in the mirror and a moon in the water, which is beyond reach.
iEnglishPut forward the overall solution to master English simply and efficiently.
IEnglish class mother tongue English learning and training system, aiming at the obstacles faced by massive English listening and reading, puts forward the overall solution of English learning.
The iEnglish native English learning and training system selects nearly 20,000 original English books, massive pictures, audio and video, etc., and guides children to carry out massive comprehensible input and output training, so as to easily acquire English unconsciously.
The native English learning and training system of iEnglish can be regarded as a mobile electronic library. The system selects a large number of high-quality original English materials, all of which are classic contents used by students in English-speaking countries, including picture books, stories, novels, pictures, audio and video, etc., to restore the complex scenes of real English environment and meet the learning needs of children of different ages.
Solve the problem of difficulty level through intelligent push
Just like learning to play basketball and calligraphy, the level needs to be gradually improved in stages. According to the needs of non-native English students for listening, reading and learning English, the iEnglish native English learning and training system sets a grading system of 150 levels from easy to difficult. By evaluating learners’ English foundation, accurately matching the difficulty level, and intelligently pushing the content with suitable difficulty according to factors such as the mastery level, 80% of the content can be effectively understood, and new content can be supplemented, and at the same time, it is smoother and smoother when upgrading, realizing the personalized learning of each student and ensuring the learning effect.
Hundreds of foreign teachers solve listening and pronunciation problems.
In the mother tongue environment, due to age, region, gender and other factors, everyone’s pronunciation is different. In order to better simulate the real English listening environment, the system has hundreds of English native speakers, male and female, old and young, to avoid children’s dependence on a single accent and better train their listening.
Through hundreds of foreign teachers’ bandu and pronunciation correction, the problems that parents are not allowed to speak and can’t coach their children are solved, thus naturally cultivating a pure English accent.
Learning reports keep parents informed of their learning situation at any time.
Compared with training courses and one-on-one foreign teachers, it is impossible to know the progress and effect of children’s learning in time. In order to help parents better understand and master the progress and effect of children’s learning, the iEnglish mother tongue English learning and training system is equipped with a mobile phone parent terminal, so that children’s learning data and status can be synchronized in real time, and the system automatically analyzes learning records and forms reports, so that parents can easily help students.
iEnglishThe effect has been widely verified, and the English learning problem has been really solved.
Since 2016, the learning effect of iEnglish has been widely verified: four-year-old children have achieved synchronization with American seven-year-old children’s reading ability in three years; Seven-year-old children with zero foundation passed the Cambridge PET exam in three years (similar to the difficulty of Chinese college entrance examination); 10-year-old children with a certain foundation passed the FCE level (equivalent to IELTS 6.0) in two years; Students in Grade Two got more than 130 points in the college entrance examination after more than 400 days of study. Officially, because iEnglish far exceeds parents’ expectations, it has become an "artifact" in English learning. More and more parents realize that solving English learning problems requires changing traditional English learning methods. Now hundreds of thousands of children are using iEnglish to solve English learning problems.
IEnglish makes English learning return to the essence, so as to achieve the goal of barrier-free communication with foreigners and obstacles to reading original English books and information.
So that every child can use English for cross-border and cross-cultural communication, and can easily use English to read and absorb rich achievements and nutrients of human humanities, history and culture.
For children’s English learning, we can’t take the old road and waste their precious time on mechanically rigid memorizing words and learning grammar. We need to let go of our inherent thinking, give up the fixed mode of learning only textbooks and start a new method of English learning.
The overall solution proposed by iEnglish-like mother tongue English learning and training system is such a brand-new, simple and efficient new English learning method. It starts from the underlying logic of language learning, and directly attacks the problems in China children’s English learning and parents’ pain points, and finally completely solves the English learning problems.
I believe that in the near future, there will be fewer and fewer seminars on English learning, because more and more students are using iEnglish to overcome English learning problems!
Reporting/feedback

Luoma county magistrate wrote three novels in prison, saying that being an official is walking a tightrope.

  Core Tip: The former county magistrate of Queshan County, Henan Province was sentenced to 11 years in prison for accepting bribes in 2004. In four years, he wrote three novels and became a writer, once again entering the public eye. When talking about his works, he said that the officialdom in the novel had his shadow when he was in politics; Looking back on his political career, he replied that being an official is like walking a tightrope.



Li Jianhua turned his back on the reporter


  On the afternoon of November 20th, Li Jianhua, 48, dressed in prison uniform, appeared to Zhengzhou Customs police who received warning education in the heavily guarded No.1 prison in Henan Province. On the podium, his speech was as cadence as four or five years ago, but he raised his hand and wiped his tears when he said, "How many 11 years can a life have?"


  These days, it took more than four years to write three novels and the news that the county magistrate of Luoma became a writer, which made Li Jianhua "walk" out of the high wall and re-enter the public eye. He was sentenced to 11 years in prison for accepting bribes in 2004, and he was the former county magistrate of Queshan County.


  In this prison where felons are held, Li Jianhua is deeply rethinking through writing and writing after working and studying.


  The reporter conducted an exclusive interview with Li Jianhua based on his works.


  The prison leaders are very supportive of writing in their spare time.


  Reporter: What are the contents of the three novels you published?


  Li Jianhua: The Liberator describes the life experience of an old Red Army from the revolutionary civil war, War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the War of Liberation to the founding of New China and its reform and opening up. Mr. Li Weichang, a book reviewer, said that this novel, which spans 65 years, is "a history book for the liberators of China". "Characteristics of China" is about rural reform. "Warm Home" pays attention to AIDS, and the editor wrote on the cover that "China’s first novel describing the first village of AIDS".


  Reporter: Did you start writing after you came to prison?


  Li Jianhua: It should be said that it was mainly finalized in prison. From May to September, 2004, I was detained in Runan Detention Center, when I was in the stage of investigation and interrogation. I had nothing to do all day, so I began to conceive The Liberator. The story of "The Liberator" was told by my father and his old leaders and comrades-in-arms when I was a child, and it has always been in my mind. The three novels are written in a cross.


  Before the Army Day in 2007, when The Liberator was published, I had already sent The Features of China to the publishing house. When I was reviewing the manuscript of "China Features", I started to write "Warm Home". The publication of China Features was originally scheduled for May last year, but it was postponed for some reason. In October this year, the two novels were published simultaneously.


  Reporter: Do you need to take part in labor?


  Li Jianhua: You don’t have to work in the detention center. You can write all day. In prison, like everyone else, I have to take part in labor, study and education, sewing balls and installing lighters. I spend the rest of my free time or rest and entertainment time writing.


  Reporter: What is the biggest difficulty for you to write a book in prison?


  Li Jianhua: At the beginning of writing, there was no information, only some newspapers; There’s no complete time, it’s just a blind alley.


  Reporter: What’s the situation now?


  Li Jianhua: The leaders of the No.1 prison in Henan Province know that after I write a book, they will provide me with the conditions as much as possible. I also subscribed to several newspapers at my own expense. Newspapers mainly play an enlightening role, and some things in them can also be integrated into books.


  In the detention center, I lie prone on the bed board or write with my knees on the manuscript paper. Six months after I came to prison, my second draft of Liberator was completed. The prison let me use the computer in the classroom, so I can write directly on the computer.


  Sometimes I don’t want to write, and the prison leader, the warden and the police who manage me will encourage me to write. They said that this is to win glory for parents and relatives, and also to hand in a satisfactory answer for their own transformation.


  The officialdom in the novel has the shadow of my time in politics.


  Reporter: How did you think of writing "Warm Home"?


  Li Jianhua: One day, instructor Chen showed me a newspaper with an article about AIDS. I worked as a deputy county magistrate in Shangcai County and Xincai County, and Wenlou Village was also a village I had contracted. After I read it, my thoughts were touched and I felt very guilty, and I began to conceive "Warm Home".


  Another reason is that a writer wrote a book about AIDS, and the people in it were miserable and helpless, as if the government had never done anything. I wrote "Warm Home" to correct this statement and write about the care of the government and society for AIDS patients.


  The protagonist in the book once served as the secretary of the county party committee in Cai Zhou, and was transferred from Cai Zhou when the AIDS problem was exposed. After retirement, he went deep into aids village to help the farmers in the village to cure diseases and produce, and build a warm home. Finally, even his wife, who had always opposed him to do so, was moved to join the help.


  Reporter: All three novels involve leading cadres, especially "China Features" shows the officialdom of a county. How does your experience make your writing about officialdom different from other writers?


  Li Jianhua: Both have limitations. Even if you have experience in officialdom, there are limitations. Some writers who write about officialdom have never been cadres in the county, and there are more fictional elements. I have read a book in which the retired party secretary became the boss of the underworld and hired a murderer. In fact, this is unlikely to happen in reality. The most fundamental thing in officialdom is the problem of thinking, inaction and chaos.


  I graduated from high school at the age of 16 and went to the countryside as an intellectual youth. At the end of 1977, he participated in the first college entrance examination after the "Cultural Revolution", entered the political and historical professional class, and then was admitted to the graduate school. At the age of 32, he became a deputy county-level cadre, and at the age of 39, he was promoted to a county-level cadre. What he wrote was definitely different from them and more real.


  There is a struggle between old and new ideas, between officials and doers in "China Features". Guests, gifts, running projects, the relationship between the county party Committee, the county government and the two houses, are all in the book.


  Reporter: The county magistrate Wang in the novel is a doer. He is a county magistrate, and you have been a county magistrate …


  Li Jianhua: that’s not me. I can only say that there is a little shadow of me. The characters in the novel are typical, but they can’t sit in the right place in reality because there are many creative elements in it.


  Reporter: Is the county magistrate in the novel like what is written in some works? Whoever gives him a gift, he throws it out the door? Are you like this?


  Li Jianhua: That county magistrate is quite strict with himself and will not be so ruthless, but everyone has his own bottom line. I just want to create the image of a grassroots county magistrate through literary works. As for me, I’m far from it, and I have many lessons to learn.


  (Reporter’s Note: In 2004, the Zhumadian Intermediate People’s Court found that Li Jianhua had received a total of 500,000 yuan in kickbacks from the contractor five times during his tenure as director of Zhumadian Commerce and Trade Bureau from April 2000 to May 2001. )


  Look at yourself, besides being an official, what else can you do?


  Reporter: Did you ever think that you would write a book one day?


  Li Jianhua: I had a writer’s dream when I was a student. Later, I was addicted to officialdom and put it on hold.


  Reporter: I heard from the prison leader that your book is going to be made into a TV series?


  Li Jianhua: After The Liberator was published, seven film and television companies competed to shoot it. When Changjiang Literature and Art Publishing House rushed to publish this book, it was because its story frame was good and it could be used for TV series in the future. But there are many big war scenes in it, and the film and television company estimates that it can’t do without an investment of 60 million yuan, and has been hesitating.


  Beijing Bobang Film and Television Culture Company is going to shoot my "Warm Home". I revised the script and their boss just took it away.


  Reporter: How much royalties do you get for publishing books?
