The reform of college entrance examination has given birth to high school career education, and there are still many difficulties to be solved urgently.

  "Today, the school organized the second year of high school to carry out professional experience activities, and our class came to China Youth Newspaper. Different from the imagination, there are many young people in the newspaper, and the office is full of vitality and youth … …”

  On May 8th, nearly 80 senior two students from the middle school affiliated to Beijing Jiaotong University came to China Youth Newspaper to carry out career experience activities. After the activity, Zhou Xinyou of Class 2, Senior Two wrote down her feelings.

  Once upon a time, many high school students only "stimulated" their career planning for the future when they filled in their volunteers for the college entrance examination. However, due to the lack of understanding, many candidates "rely entirely on Mongolia" when volunteering for the college entrance examination, and even choose which professional name is good.

  This kind of "ignorant" day for the future will become history. At present, 14 provinces have entered the pilot of comprehensive reform of college entrance examination. These pilot provinces, which carried out the comprehensive reform of college entrance examination, "forced" students to choose and plan their future academic interests and career development from the time they entered high school; There are also schools that are "forced" to carry out reforms — — They should undertake the relevant educational responsibilities of career planning for senior high school students.

  The reporter of China Youth Daily and China Youth Network learned in the interview that at present, although many schools have realized the importance of students’ career planning and have carried out relevant education, the career planning education of high school students is far from ideal and still faces many difficulties to be broken through.

  "Career planning education should be earlier and more practical."

  "I just caught up with the college entrance examination reform." Beijing student Zhang Can (a pseudonym) said.

  Beijing is the second batch of provinces to enter the pilot reform of college entrance examination, and it has been implemented since the first year of high school in 2017, when Zhang Can was promoted to the first year of high school.

  "After I went to high school, the school had education in career planning. Our school adopts ‘ One-to-one ’ The way of talking, I feel that it has played a calming role psychologically. " Zhang Can said.

  The reporter learned in the interview that many high school students think that career planning education is really useful. Entering senior one, a new period of study and more difficult knowledge are inherently challenging for children. Coupled with the "new college entrance examination" factor, "everyone is quite confused. Career education has given us a down-to-earth feeling and made us think more clearly about the future development. Some small psychological problems have also been channeled together. " Zhang Can said.

  "I think career education should be carried out earlier." Wang Xinran (a pseudonym), a senior three student in Jiangsu, said.

  There are quite a few students who share similar views with Wang Xinran.

  "I don’t think career education can begin in high school, and children should be given at least one ‘ What do I want to do in the future ’ The general direction of guidance. " Like Zhang Can, Li Haihe (not his real name) caught up with Beijing’s "New College Entrance Examination", and Li Haihe felt that career education should not only be aimed at students, but also parents should receive this education.

  Unlike many students’ ignorance of the future, Li Haihe wanted to be a doctor when he was very young, so he wanted to choose subjects in this direction after he entered high school. However, the career planning test conducted by the school shows that his thinking characteristics are more suitable for theoretical research.

  After the teacher advised the parents, Li Haihe also weighed it for a while, still unwilling to give up the ambition he had set since he was a child. In order to study medicine, he discussed and argued with his parents for two years. "If parents take this course, they will at least consider it from their children’s interests, and the chances of respecting their choices will be greater."

  However, some students feel that career planning education is of little help to them.

  Guangdong student Lin Jianxiang (a pseudonym) said that the school’s career education didn’t leave much impression on him. The school’s career planning education is arranged in the third year of senior high school. The school organizes the whole grade students to attend the lecture in the auditorium. "The content of the lecture is very theoretical and general, and our schoolwork is very tense, so few people listen carefully." Lin Jianxiang said that in order to be of practical help to students, the teaching content should be closer to the reality of students, and you can’t just search for some test questions or articles on the Internet.

  "A lot of content in career education can easily become the kind of talk about success or big talk, which is somewhat formalistic." Zhang Can said.

  The realistic dilemma of shortage of teachers, practice base and funds

  Some high school students feel that the current career course is still unsatisfactory, but there is a reason.

  In the interview, the reporter found that many places where the comprehensive reform of college entrance examination is being carried out are provinces with higher education level and richer educational resources. However, even in these places, schools still face many practical difficulties in carrying out career planning education.

  Take the middle school affiliated to Beijing Jiaotong University as an example, the career planning course is a very "serious" course in this school — — Not only was it put into the curriculum, but it also developed its own school-based curriculum.

  Xu Xinyan, vice president of teaching at the North Campus of the Middle School affiliated to Beijing Jiaotong University, said that the school has set up a compulsory course of career education since the first year of high school, with one session per week for a total of one and a half semesters; In the second year of high school, the school will also organize students to enter the society, enter the workplace and have professional experience.

  The situation of the middle school affiliated to Beijing Jiaotong University envies many schools. Because, compared with many schools, the teachers of career planning course in Beijing Jiao Tong High School can be described as "abundant" — — There are three teachers, including two psychological teachers and a part-time teacher.

  Even so, "the school’s psychological teachers should not only undertake mental health classes in junior high school, but also undertake career classes in senior high school, and at the same time, they should also bear the daily psychological counseling and consultation of students, and the manpower is obviously insufficient." Xu Xinyan said.

  For most schools, the lack of teachers for career planning courses is a common phenomenon.

  As early as 2010, the Outline of the National Medium-and Long-Term Education Reform and Development Plan (2010-2020) mentioned that it is necessary to establish a guidance system for students’ development and strengthen guidance for students’ ideals, psychology and studies. The 14 provinces that have entered the comprehensive reform of college entrance examination have also formulated guidance opinions on students’ development in their own provinces, established guidance centers for students’ development, and defined guidance institutions.

  In 2019, the "Guiding Opinions on Promoting the Reform of Educational Methods in Ordinary Senior High Schools in the New Era" issued by the General Office of the State Council once again made it clear that all localities should formulate guiding opinions on student development, guide schools to establish a guiding system for student development, and strengthen the training of instructors. Ordinary senior high schools should clarify the guidance institutions, establish a team of full-time and part-time guidance teachers, and guide students through the infiltration of subject teaching, offering guidance courses, holding special lectures, and developing professional experience.

  However, the ideal is full and the reality is skinny.

  "Top teachers from other disciplines" is one of the ways to solve the shortage of career education teachers in many schools.

  "Our school implements the tutorial system, and tutors also have to undertake part of the responsibilities of career education, but tutors are professional teachers. They are most familiar with the teacher industry and don’t know much about other industries." Han Shaoguo, executive vice president of the North Campus of the Middle School affiliated to Beijing Jiaotong University, said.

  Many experts pointed out that career planning guidance is very professional and needs rich social experience, which can not be undertaken by any teacher.

  In order to solve this problem, many schools have developed resources for parents. To some extent, this can not only make up for the shortage of school teachers, but also make up for the lack of social experience of school teachers.

  However, a high school teacher in Fengtai District, Beijing said that the biggest defect of parents’ resources is "instability". "This year’s parents have a rich occupational distribution, so they can introduce more to their students, and the next session may be gone, and some parents only share their children’s classes." The teacher said.

  There are also some schools that buy third-party services to solve this problem. And to buy services, you must have financial support.

  "In the first two years, there was special financial support. We asked professional career planning companies to do professional scale measurements for students and organize students to go to the corresponding units for practical activities." A high school principal in Haidian District, Beijing said, "However, this special fund has disappeared in the past two years."

  Nevertheless, the headmaster said that no matter how to save money, there must be some expenditure in career planning. Take professional scale measurement as an example. Every student has at least 100 yuan, and the school can only "squeeze out" money as much as possible, but it still has to cut off some measurement contents.

  When the funds can’t keep up, it is the practice that is most likely to be "cut". Many interviewees told reporters that their school’s career education was spent in "listening to several lectures" and "doing several test questions".

  Fang Lihui (a pseudonym), a senior three student from Jiangsu Province, remembers that she also had a career planning class from high school, but it was put together with the psychology class. The school also requires students to have professional experience, but the time is limited to winter and summer vacations, and they are looking for their own units, usually about 3 days.

  "Some students went to the supermarket to distribute goods, some found a production workshop, and some organized groups to go to large enterprises." Li Lihui said that he felt that his professional experience was the most comfortable. "In those three days, I sat in my dad’s office, drank water, played with my mobile phone, chatted with my uncles and aunts, and then took some photos and asked my colleagues in my dad’s unit to write an evaluation and stamp it."

  Even the professional experience of school collective organization, the effect is not satisfactory. A principal introduced that many units are more willing to accept college students’ practical activities than middle school students. "Because many units can promote themselves through such opportunities and attract more outstanding graduates to choose employment, it is difficult for middle school students to have a real professional experience when they come to such units, that is, to take a cursory look."

  "We especially hope that the competent authorities can establish some professional experience bases like military training and provide more professional and standardized student career planning services." Xu Xinyan said.

  We should get rid of the concept of "putting scores first"

  Many senior high school students’ career education faces the embarrassment of "it’s important to talk about it, but don’t be busy". The reason for the embarrassment is mainly the concept.

  "The school didn’t really guide the students." Tang Jiangpeng, president of Xishan High School in Jiangsu Province, said in an interview with the reporter of Zhongqing Daily and Zhongqing.com.

  Although the reform of the college entrance examination has been going on for several years, the evaluation system of measuring schools by the scores of candidates and the enrollment rate still exists. Therefore, many schools still put scores first when giving guidance to students, rather than students’ interests and ambitions. "Which combination can get high scores and which combination can avoid strong opponents, use which method," said Tang Jiangpeng. It is far from the schools and teachers who help students choose subjects by means of "Tian Ji Horse Racing".

  When career planning meets the desire to get high marks in the college entrance examination, planning is often abandoned.

  When Jia Jinxuan (pseudonym) from Zhejiang was in high school, she also received education related to career planning. "But the final goal of most people is to go to a good school, so it is difficult to consider the factors of career planning when choosing a subject, but ‘ What will help me get a higher score and go to a better school ’ What subjects will we choose? Although university majors will have certain restrictions on our choice of subjects, there are too many volunteers and too many uncertainties at that time. In the end, no matter what career plans we have, we will see which one can get high marks. "

  In addition, the career planning education for students in many schools is still too traditional.

  With the development of society, more and more emerging industries have emerged. "My future career plan is to become a online celebrity." Zhao Han (pseudonym), a senior one student in Beijing, said, but this idea has never been seriously discussed with her parents or communicated with her teacher. "I know that for them, this is a ‘ Not serious ’ The idea is useless. "

  Some experts pointed out that it should be emphasized that all today’s choices are temporary and can be adjusted with further study in the future.

  In fact, the expert’s words are only half right. What should be adjusted and changed is the education itself. Education does not have to cater to every novel idea of high school students, but at least it should be close enough to them. Only in this way can we better guide them.

  Many schools have made valuable attempts.

  "What we set up is ‘ Experiential ’ The course is to present students with various majors or industries ‘ Typical lifestyle ’ 。” Tang Jiangpeng said that doing so at least "makes a little sense" when students choose courses. For example, the school started the course of "News and Interview". "This course is either about knowledge, or about letting students really participate in the compilation of school journals and the production of media, so that students can experience whether they like this kind of life in real practice."

The downward policy shift of inflation data in the United States and Europe has attracted attention.

  The recent inflation data of developed economies, represented by the United States and Europe, has dropped significantly, which has advanced the time when the market turns to loose monetary policy. In fact, the economic outlook is full of uncertainty, which also increases the urgency of policy adjustment in the United States and Europe.

  Inflation in the United States and Europe has dropped significantly.

  The latest inflation data released by the United States and Europe recently shows that the inflation rate has dropped significantly, and the market believes that the monetary policy shift cycle is coming soon.

  According to data released by the US Department of Commerce, excluding volatile food and energy prices, the US core personal consumption expenditure (PCE) price index rose by 3.5% year-on-year in October, the smallest year-on-year increase since April 2021.

  At the same time, the actual personal consumption expenditure announced in October increased by 0.2% month-on-month, higher than the expected 0.1%, and the growth rate slowed down by 0.2 percentage points from last month. After the data was released, the market reaction was relatively dull. According to FedWatch, an interest rate observation tool of CME, the market expects that by May next year, the probability that the Fed will cut interest rates by 25 basis points will be flat at 47%.

  The inflation rate has dropped significantly this year. The annualized rate of core PCE increased by 2.5% from May to October, which was lower than the 4.5% increase in the previous six months.

  According to preliminary statistics released by Eurostat, the inflation rate in the euro zone in November was 2.4% at an annual rate, which was lower than 2.9% in October and fell to the lowest level in more than two years.

  Data show that in November, the prices of food, tobacco and alcohol in the euro zone rose by 6.9% year-on-year, the prices of non-energy industrial products rose by 2.9%, the prices of services rose by 4.0%, and the prices of energy fell by 11.5%. In that month, the core inflation rate excluding the prices of energy, food, tobacco and alcohol was 3.6%.

  From a country perspective, the inflation rates of Germany, France, Italy and Spain, the major EU economies, were 2.3%, 3.8%, 0.7% and 3.2% respectively in November.

  According to the latest market survey, it is expected that the European Central Bank will cut interest rates by 25 basis points in April next year, and even the probability of cutting interest rates ahead of March will reach a state of "50-50 split". Just a month ago, the market expected the European Central Bank to cut interest rates as soon as next June. Harvey, head of foreign exchange analysis at Monex Europe, said it was only a matter of time before the European Central Bank officially admitted that its policies were too tight.

  Anti-inflation related policies or adjustments

  The Wall Street Journal reported that inflation in developed economies fell faster than expected, marking a turning point for many central banks to fight against soaring prices in the past two years.

  The report pointed out that the slowdown in inflation in developed economies has strengthened people’s concern that the central bank will "brake" the stimulus policy prematurely and cut interest rates next year. More and more evidence shows that the impact of rising borrowing costs is continuing to emerge.

  Gerakl, former deputy governor of the Irish central bank, said: "This is definitely a turning point in inflation." "The rate of interest rate cut by the central bank next year may surprise investors, and the rate of interest rate cut may reach 1.5 percentage points."

  According to incomplete statistics, economists compared with media surveys predicted that 53% of the inflation data in October was lower than expected, including Britain, the euro zone, the United States, Mexico, Australia and other places, and another 25% was in line with expectations. In many countries, the downward trend of energy prices is the main factor driving down inflation. For example, in the euro zone, energy inflation fell by more than 11% for two consecutive months, while in the UK, energy inflation fell to -15.7% in October. Even excluding food and energy, the core annual inflation (excluding food and energy) in many countries is lower than expected, including the United States, Britain, Indonesia and Japan.

  Preliminary data in November show that this trend is becoming more and more obvious. 78% of the data is lower than the forecast. For example, Italy’s inflation rate unexpectedly dropped to 0.7% in November, far below the European Central Bank’s target level of 2%. In addition, Belgium has experienced deflation for two consecutive months.

  Reuters quoted Koval, a senior economist in Moody’s analysis, as saying that in the euro zone, people may soon talk about inflation being too low, not too high.

  Since last year, in the context of inflation exceeding expectations, policy makers have raised inflation forecasts one after another. Take the Bank of England as an example. In many monetary policy reports in the past two years, it has adjusted the average inflation expectation in the last quarter of 2024. In August 2022, this predicted value was 1.4%; In February this year, this forecast was raised to 2.1%; In the latest report in November, this forecast was further raised to 3.4%.

  The economic situation needs to be improved by policy shift.

  Poor economic prospects are also the main reason why the industry thinks that the United States and Europe will stop raising interest rates and turn their policies. The demand for promoting consumption and economic recovery in the future is urgent.

  Economists say that raising interest rates is affecting the economy, dragging down loans and spending. On both sides of the Atlantic, the growth rate of employment is slowing down, and the level of unemployment is rising, thus curbing wage growth. Economists say that households are increasingly reluctant to spend because rising interest rates make saving more favorable. This will put pressure on the economic growth prospects in the coming months.

  According to the Wall Street Journal, Federal Reserve Chairman Powell said that his policy setting "has gone deep into restricted areas, which means that tight monetary policy" is slowing down economic activity, which is the strongest signal he has sent so far that officials may have decided to end raising interest rates.

  According to the U.S. Department of Commerce, consumer spending increased by 0.2% in October, a sharp slowdown from the 0.7% increase in September. This is the slowest growth month since May. Economists say that the cooling income growth, high interest rates and prices, the decline in savings during the epidemic period and the resumption of repayment of student loans have all weakened Americans’ ability to maintain the rapid increase in spending as in summer.

  Specifically, the primary reason affecting consumer spending is the slowdown in the income growth trend of American residents. Due to the slowdown in employment scale growth and the slowdown in salary growth, the growth rate of nominal labor compensation began to decline. In addition, the excess savings accumulated by American residents during the COVID-19 epidemic bottomed out. According to the latest research of the San Francisco Federal Reserve, in the third quarter of 2023, the excess savings may have been exhausted. At present, the savings rate of the residential sector continues to rebound, that is, the marginal propensity to consume declines, which also confirms that the support of excess savings for consumer spending is weakened. The National Retail Federation (NRF) predicts that the growth rate of total retail sales in the United States will slow down to 3%-4% this holiday shopping season, ranging from $957.3 billion to $966.6 billion. This will be the smallest increase since the total retail sales increased by 3.8% in 2019.

  There is also widespread concern about the real estate industry. Due to the fall in the interest rate of long-term US debt, the interest rate of 30-year fixed mortgage fell to 7.3%, and the number of mortgage applications rebounded slightly at a low level. However, the data of Redfin, a real estate agency in the United States, showed that the housing sales continued to fall in November, and the sales of new homes and existing homes both exceeded expectations.

  The Wall Street Journal article pointed out that compared with American families, European families are also more reluctant to use their savings during the epidemic. All of this may lead to a more serious recession in the European economy and a sharp drop in inflation rate, prompting Europe to adjust its economic policies earlier.

Not willing to just be an AI application factory, ByteDance makes up a big model

Editor | Wang Yisu

Light Cone Intelligence gets the latest exclusive news. Following the first launch in August 2023, in April this year, ByteDance’s big language model Lark Big Model is about to usher in an important version of the upgrade.

The update frequency of eight months is really rare in the large model market. In such a large model with internal volume, bytes seem to be somewhat different, and the sprint is as rapid as a hundred rivers of intelligence. In the early stage, a large model was released and upgraded on average once a month.

But looking back on the past year, Byte didn’t want to lie flat.Different from the thinking of large model companies at home and abroad that "the large model is used first, and then the product is applied", byte selection, which is known as "application factory", bets on AI native applications hard, accurately and quickly on the basis of having a lark large model.

First, from the organizational level, in the second half of 2023, Byte began to integrate the big model team and other business groups, and set up a new department, Flow, which focused on AI innovation business. The department also became the vanguard of Byte in AI technology research and product development.

Another is like a huge manufacturing machine. In more than half a year, Byte frantically delivered more than a dozen AI products to domestic and foreign markets. At the same time, in the process of product development, a number of basic technology research results of image generation and video generation have been accumulated and published.

Nowadays, Byte is like coming back after a full circle in the product and market fields, and looking at the basic big model itself from a more diversified perspective.

As a upstart of the Internet, Byte has not experienced the wave of AI labs in 2016. Instead, it has combined AI algorithm technology with graphics and video to create today’s headlines and explosive applications in Tik Tok.

According to the latest disclosure, Byte’s Q3 revenue in 2023 was $30.9 billion, which has surpassed Tencent. After the new king ascended the throne, the problem in front of Byte is also very clear. How to make use of his own advantages to make up for the missed lessons and catch up with the new wave of AI?

AI application manufacturing factory, with eleven products launched in half a year.

"Strengthen the sense of crisis, always start a business, and escape the mediocre gravity." At the beginning of 2024, Byte CEO Liang Rubo set a goal for the whole year.

To say that the most suitable entrepreneurial attribute mentioned by Liang Rubo is the Flow established by Byte last year.

In August last year, the lark model was officially released, and at the same time, it was announced that it began to test the AI dialogue product "bean bag" externally. Bytes immediately went to the battlefield of the next application, and the lark model gradually disappeared in the overwhelming news and turned into the "base" behind a series of AI products such as bean bag.

In September, the newly established Flow adapter became the main force. According to the publicly reported information, Byte has deployed a large number of senior management talents at the helm. Zhu Wenjia, the head of the big model team, is also responsible for the business line of Flow. Hong Dingkun, vice president of Byte Technology, is responsible for the technical line of Flow. Zhu Jun, vice president of Byte Products and Strategy, is responsible for the product line of this department. At the same time, Qi Yuanjun, vice president of products of Feishu, has joined us.

(Light cone intelligence is made by combing according to public reports)

Under the big advance of bytes, it has realized the situation of multiple applications and multi-flowering. According to incomplete statistics of light cone intelligence,From last August to now, in more than half a year, Byte has tested and launched eleven AI application products at home and abroad, and an image product Picpic has not yet been launched, among which eight products are led by the Flow team.

From the perspective of product types, the direction of byte selection is mainly concentrated in four main directions: Chatbot, virtual role, Agent and image, which basically covers the application-level entrepreneurial direction of last year’s fire.For example, there is an efficient product ChatGPT in the field of Chatbot, a considerable number of users in the field of virtual characters, GPTs introduced by OpenAI in the direction of Agent, and so on.

Attacking from many directions and blossoming everywhere, this picture seems to have returned to the eve of Tik Tok’s birth overnight. When entering the AI ​ ​ application track, Byte once again adopted the strategy of "internal horse racing". In China, the capability was provided through the Lark model, and in foreign countries, the service was provided based on GPT. Many times, overseas is used as a test field, and similar products are launched in China first, so as to run market and user data and prepare for domestic launch.

In addition, bytes are also very clear about their own advantages. Tiktok and Tiktok, two large traffic pools, have naturally become sharp tools for byte drainage and innovation. According to the light cone intelligent observation, Byte has specially set up a "live room with goods" for bean bags, introducing the functions of bean bags to users who enter the live room, and promoting that the App can be downloaded for free. In addition, Byte also invited a large number of talented people from Tik Tok to be the platform of bean bags, and implanted new functions of bean bags in the jokes.

Perhaps it is because of the traction of traffic that the bean bag released late has surpassed Baidu’s ERNIE Bot in terms of awareness and monthly activity. According to reports, it is revealed by some sources that the monthly activity of bean bags has increased to 2 million in December last year, and doubled on this basis in January 2024. The monthly average daily activity of bean bags has already surpassed that of ERNIE Bot.

From the perspective of byte’s own business, in addition to Flow, flying books, clipping, byte Singapore company, huge engine, and vigorous education are also testing water and launching AI tools and products. Since the advent of Sora, the AI video track has rekindled the war, and the byte clipping business has also been placed with high hopes. Zhang Nan resigned as the CEO of Tik Tok Group to lead the clipping team. From the current point of view, the clipping has been launched with the functions of AI cloning timbre, AI drawing, AI drawing, AI generating oral broadcast and so on.

(Source: Clipping)

It may only be a matter of time before Byte launches its products on AI video. In terms of technical reserves, Byte has accumulated the video generation model MagicVideo-V2, video editor Boximator, and video generation research PixelDance, and has dug up counterpart talents from Google’s video generation model team.

It has been reported that Byte is secretly developing a number of products in the field of AI big model, including multi-modal digital human products, AI video products and AI video products.

Byte is not eager to change the old business, but uses the ability of a single point to radiate to internal horse racing. On the one hand, it is to test the market, and on the other hand, it is also exploring how to embed AI into the original business flow.

For example, the "smart partner" was introduced in the flying book business line, and the traditional workflow was changed by the technology of Agent, and the functions of content creation, content summary and data analysis in the office scene were realized, so as to reduce costs and increase efficiency for individuals and enterprises. Where to play the ability of Agent, where to use the ability of literary drawing, and which scenes to call the ability of dialogue reasoning, these should be tested during the landing process.

Xie Xin, CEO of Feishu, once said at the press conference that the ability of AI will definitely become very strong in the future, and great changes will take place in all walks of life. However, at present, the ability of AI is still very limited, which may not make every task as expected. "What is more important now is to make yourself AI Ready first."

Return to the main battlefield and make up the big model.

Liang Rubo reflected at the annual meeting at the end of 2023, "Bytes are not as sensitive to technology as startups, and GPT was not discussed until 2023. The big model startups that have done well in the industry were founded from 2018 to 2021. "

The implication of Liang Rubo is that the big model of bytes is slow.

In March last year, Baidu released ERNIE Bot, and then Huawei and Ali quickly followed suit to release the big model. It was not until mid-August that the big model of Tik Tok lark arrived late.

The news about the big model team of Byte can be traced back to January last year. 36Kr reported that Byte formed the first big model team at that time, including the big model team of language and the big model team of pictures. Among them, the language big model team is led by the byte search department, and the picture big model team is led by the intelligent creation team under the product development and engineering architecture department.

At that time, ChatGPT and Midjourney had already exploded. Perhaps it is to see these two types of products with different paths behind them, and then consider how to transform a series of products.From the initial formation of the team, Byte chose technology and products to walk on two legs. But the big model is the base of most AI applications. If you want to develop products, you must first have a big model.

Lark big model just assumed such a role. As soon as the big model landed, Bytes quickly started the research and development of AI applications at the same time, but the immature performance of the big model also affected the landing of AI applications to some extent.

First of all, from the time line, the products with the same function went online earlier in foreign countries than in China. For example, the domestic opening time of buttons on GPTs-like platforms is two months behind that of foreign countries. Even after the domestic buttons are launched, many users in China choose the foreign Coze because they can directly call GPT-4 turbo.

The ability of the model will also be reflected in the use effect of the product. For example, the overseas version of CapCut has recently launched a text-generated video function, but with user feedback, this function is not satisfactory in terms of video clarity, understanding of prompts and waiting time for generation.

This led to the killing of bytes in the product battlefield and had to go back and make up the big model.

However, for bytes, it doesn’t make much sense to benchmark OpenAI, and thinking about the big model route that suits you is the way out.

Judging from the public information, the force point of bytes in the AI direction is still concentrated in the fields of images and videos.As for the big model, Byte has introduced the Lark, a universal big language model, and BuboGPT;, a multi-modal big model that supports text, image and audio. In the direction of image vision, the MagicVideo-V2 video generation model launched last year has caused a wave of heat at home and abroad, which can make people in still pictures move. The research after bytes continues to extend in the direction of video, including how to control the action of characters by inputting text and how to improve the dynamic effect of video.

(Light cone intelligence is made by combing according to public reports)

From this point of view, bytes still learn from the practice of OpenAI, that is, outside the GPT big model, all kinds of single-point capabilities are pulled to the full-Whisper model in voice direction, DALL·E series in image direction and Sora in video direction.

Because the breakthrough of single-point ability also depends on the ability of the underlying big model, especially Sora provides an idea that the framework of Transformer big model can be combined with the image generation model, which means that the reasoning and understanding ability of the big model will affect the final video generation logic. Therefore, on the basic big model, all big model companies, including bytes, still can’t be ignored.

In addition to complementing the ability in the video model, Byte has also made great efforts in team talent allocation.At the beginning of the establishment, Zhu Wenjia, the former head of TikTok technology in Singapore, was transferred to lead the large model team, and later he was also responsible for the business line of Flow. A vanguard department, Flow, has assembled the vice presidents of technology, products and strategy, and flying books. Recently, it was revealed that Jiang Lu, the research leader of Google video generation model VideoPoet, joined the intelligent creation team. It is reported that the idea of VideoPoet is very similar to that of Sora world model.

After Sora burst into flames, many people compared it with the cut film personally led by Zhang Nan, the former CEO of Tik Tok, but in fact, Zhang Nan still paid more attention to the product level. The real byte version of Sora must be born in the team led by these scientists and technical leaders.

Advertising & cloud business, AI has a greater impact on bytes than expected.

Last year, Zhang Yiming, the founder of ByteDance, spent all his energy on AI, which is of great significance to the biggest beneficiary who benefited from the previous generation of AI technology (recommended algorithm).

What AIGC ultimately generates is content, which is naturally a change in the form of content production. Compared with other companies’ original business attributes such as e-commerce, search and social networking, Tik Tok’s gene itself is the content. Therefore, the strategic significance of this big model wave to Byte may be far greater than that of other companies.

Although ChatGPT-4 has just been born for one year, the big model and AIGC technology have only taken the first step, but the imagination about the future business growth of the company may just be opened.

Take Baidu as an example, its just-released annual financial report data for 2023 shows that AI has brought practical benefits to Baidu. In the year of All in model, Baidu search, advertising and other old businesses have been revitalized, and the once depressed cloud computing business has also seen new growth momentum.

In 2023, Baidu’s core revenue was 103.465 billion yuan, and the net profit attributable to Baidu’s core was 27.4 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 38%; The big model is bringing more and more business income to Baidu. In the fourth quarter, the revenue growth brought by the big model alone reached 660 million yuan, and the revenue of Baidu AI Cloud also reached 8.4 billion yuan. According to Morgan Stanley’s forecast, Baidu’s advertising revenue is expected to achieve a year-on-year growth of 7% in 2024.

Although for bytes, this growth is far from our own eyes, but many business lines still have certain reference and reference value.

According to the light cone intelligence, influenced by the big model wave, the revenue growth of Volcano Engine, a byte cloud computing business, is also considerable. Thanks to a large number of NVIDIA’s GPUs, many large model startups are willing to take the initiative to join the ecology of Volcano Engine, thus boosting the growth of Volcano Engine.

Although the first wave earned the first bucket of gold by selling computing power, for Volcano Engine, customers who pay for cloud computing business again by using the algorithms of these big model companies in the future are more attractive.

For the advertising business on which Bytes depend, the influence of the big model has not yet been exerted. At present, several companies, including Baidu and Netease Youdao, have mentioned that large models can promote the conversion of their advertisements. This is undoubtedly good news for Tik Tok and today’s headlines.

In order to improve the marketing efficiency, Tik Tok’s marketing platform Giant Engine also released the automatic technology brands UBMax on January 23rd, based on three scenarios: application download, clue retention and e-commerce drainage.

In addition, Volcano Engine has also launched a very byte-featured product-Volcano Engine Intelligent Creation Cloud, which is an intelligent SaaS platform to generate videos in batches, mainly helping e-commerce sellers to generate commodity materials in batches. Although there are many companies making such products in the market at present, and some of them are deep partners of Tik Tok, for companies with both technology and scenarios, they can only do it in bytes.

To sum up, on the whole, Byte’s investment in AI tends to be conservative, paying more attention to products that can generate value for actual business, while its investment in cutting-edge technologies has just started.

This is also related to Byte’s focus strategy in the past year. In the past year, Byte has almost retired or cut all business lines unrelated to core business, such as Pico and games.

When the core business is strong, development can cover up all problems. Byte’s quarterly revenue can still maintain a year-on-year growth of more than 40%, which has envied all other domestic companies, but for Byte and Zhang Yiming, there is still a dream.

"The Siege of the Kowloon Walled City" was exposed, and Gu Tianle and Hong Jinbao started to fight on high


1905 movie network news On April 25, the action crime movie released its final trailer, accompanied by a set of stills.


The film tells the story of a young man in distress, Chen Luojun (Lin Li, played), who mistakenly broke into the Kowloon City, not only regained a stable life with the help of the storyteller Tornado (played), but also gained brotherhood here. Unexpectedly, he was involved in the high-burning story of the gang taking over the village and everyone stepping forward to defend the family village to the death. The powerful actor Gu Tianle,, met the cutting-edge force Lin Li,,,, and gathered across generations of Hong Kong stars to jointly interpret the hot-blooded hardcore gang past.


The film was created by the original cast, and the director who won the Best Director award at the 42nd Hong Kong Film Awards was also fully blessed by the well-known action director (,). In the recent special screening event in the Hong Kong cultural sector, the film was well received by people inside and outside the industry, praising the film’s unique comic-like fighting and character presentation, which can be called the most unique Hong Kong film in recent years.


At present, the film has been shortlisted for the official "Midnight Screening" section of the 77th Cannes International Film Festival, which is the next Chinese-language film to be shortlisted for this section after 11 years.


The film "Siege of the Kowloon Walled City" is directed by Zheng Baorui, starring Koo Tianle, Lin Yu, Liu Junqian, Wu Yunlong, Beard Tong, and Zhang Wenjie, starring Ren Xianqi, starring, and starring Hong Jinbao. The film will be released nationwide on May 1, and will be released in advance on April 25-30.

"The Founding of the Party" adds another star, and Zhang Jiahui and Liu Yunlong’s stills are first exposed


Liu Yunlong and Zhang Jiahui joined


Zhang Jiahui


Director Huang Jianxin tells the scene

   Shortly after the launch of "The Founding of the Party", the crew officially welcomed two actors, Liu Yunlong and Zhang Jiahui, who played Jiang Baili and Liang Qichao respectively in the play.

Liu Yunlong practiced English hard for Jiang Baili to play well

  If the film is Liu Yunlong’s debut film, this is Liu Yunlong’s second entry into the film industry. Liu Yunlong in the film plays the "three heroes of Chinese non-commissioned officers" (Jiang Baili, Cai E and Zhang Xiaozhun were also known as the three heroes of Chinese non-commissioned officers at the time) Jiang Baili, who is in his 30s and was then the president of Baoding Army University. When the May 4th Movement broke out in 1919, Jiang Baili was on a tour of Europe with Liang Qichao and others.

  Since Jiang Baili and Liang Qichao first appeared in Europe in the play, speaking English became a natural thing. For Hong Kong actor Cheung Ka Fai, English is a piece of cake. But for Liu Yunlong, it is not so simple. Liu Yunlong only has a few lines of dialogue in the play, but according to the staff around him, he attaches great importance to this performance and has been practicing English dialogue in private. Director Huang Jianxin has a hobby, which is to often give the actors enough room to play according to the performance of the actors on the spot. Unexpectedly, this style made Liu Yunlong break into a cold sweat. He was worried that Director Huang would temporarily add or subtract the dialogue on a whim. The previous kung fu was in vain, and he kept saying, "The lines set before are very good, very good."

Zhang Jiahui as Liang Qichao "handy"

  For Zhang Jiahui, who has just won the Best Actor at the 10th Changchun Film Festival, it should not be difficult to play Liang Qichao this time. Unexpectedly, Zhang Jiahui still feels pressured, because Liang Qichao himself has a strong cultural atmosphere in the play. He went to Europe to study and learned about many problems and drawbacks of Western society. After returning to China, he advocated to expand traditional culture and use the "inherent civilization" of the East to "save the world". Since 1922, he has been a part-time teacher at Tsinghua School, and in 1925, he applied for a position as a tutor at Tsinghua Academy of Sinology. Zhang Jiahui felt that he should have more cultural atmosphere, and took the initiative to ask Huang Hua, the makeup artist on the crew, to strengthen his appearance first. He prepared a variety of glasses and tried them on again and again. Outside of the play, the best actor, Zhang Jiahui, is humble and has been actively discussing characters with directors Han Sanping and Huang Jianxin. "This time, no matter how many scenes, whether they have lines or not, they take their characters very seriously," Huang Jianxin said.

Lantern Festival in Jin Ping Mei and A Dream of Red Mansions

Jin Ping Mei and A Dream of Red Mansions are the two most outstanding novels about the world in the history of Chinese ancient novels, and the relationship between them is very obvious. Many scholars in Qing Dynasty thought that A Dream of Red Mansions was born out of Jin Ping Mei and was a reflection of Jin Ping Mei, that is, the so-called "theory of birth" and "theory of reflection". Jin Ping Mei, for the first time, shifted the focus of the novel from the legend of ghosts and gods and historical romance to daily family life, describing the rise and fall of the Ximen Qing family. A Dream of Red Mansions inherits this theme and depicts the process of Jia’s prosperity and decline. In the two books, there are many descriptions of festivals, and the Lantern Festival is the most important one. From the description of the Lantern Festival, we can not only see the difference in family status between Jia Fu and Ximen Qing, but also see the reference and inheritance of A Dream of Red Mansions from Jin Ping Mei in terms of structure and plot.
Ximen Qing’s "Rich" and Jia’s "Expensive"
Ximen Qing is the son of a well-to-do family in Qinghe County. His father started a drugstore, and he was promoted step by step by buttering up various officials, so he became a nouveau riche from scratch. Jia Fu was not only a founding hero, but also became a relative of the country after Yuan Chun entered the palace. By Baoyu’s generation, he was already a noble family. Comparing the descriptions of the Lantern Festival in the two books, we can clearly see that Ximen Qing’s family highlights the word "rich" on holidays, which shows the financial resources of the nouveau riche everywhere, while Jia’s family is rich in financial resources, but the details show its status and position, highlighting the word "expensive".
Talking about the flower viewing lamp in the fifteenth episode of Jin Ping Mei. It is an important tradition of Lantern Festival since ancient times to watch lanterns. Lanling Xiaoxiao was born in this time, and the Lantern Festival was beautifully written, and there were only a dozen kinds of lanterns mentioned. Extract a paragraph for your reference:
"The rocks wear Ssangyong to play in the water, and the clouds reflect the sky alone. The golden screen lamp and the jade floor lamp see a piece of pearl; Lotus lanterns and hibiscus lanterns are scattered around thousands of places. Hydrangea lights, bright and clean, snowflake lights, blowing one after another. "
The fifteenth illustration of Jin Ping Mei, Lantern Festival Lantern Festival.
In A Dream of Red Mansions, Princess Yuan visits her relatives at the Lantern Festival, and this time it is also full of colors. Jia Fu spent a lot of energy up and down, decorated with lanterns, and hung lanterns in Ningrong Erfu. "All the lanterns compete for glory up and down, which is really a glass world, and jewelry is dry." There are also all kinds of exquisite bonsai lights, beaded curtains and embroidered curtains on board, and it goes without saying that ". Yuan Chun "sighed silently about the extravagant expenses".
In the 87th edition of A Dream of Red Mansions, when Yuan Fei was on her mother’s visit, the imperial wives of Jia Fu lined up to greet her.
Although Ximen Qing has lanterns hanging at home, he still focuses on the street lantern market. Jia Fu is a noble family with strict manners. The women in Jia Fu can’t show their faces in the market like Simon Meng Yulou and Pan Jinlian, etc., for character to play with. Plutocratic family, the second residence of Ningrong, is decorated with lanterns. It is as lively and colorful as the street lantern market, and it is full of aristocratic style.
The two families are different, and we can see a thing or two from go to the opera. Go to the opera is also one of the customs of the Lantern Festival. In the fifteenth session of Jin Ping Mei, Li Pinger once invited a play to sing lanterns for everyone, and Ximen Qing specially let the maids at home learn to play and sing. In the 24th episode, four maids, Chun Mei, Yuxiao, Yingchun and spearmint, were asked to play lanterns at home.
In Jia Fu, Yuan Fei taught Jia Qiang to buy twelve girls from Gusu before mothering, but made room for pear fragrance court to make these twelve girls sing in operas at home. In addition to the family troupe, there are three special stages in Jiafu, namely, Daguanlou, Rongqingtang and Dahua Hall, among which the stage in Daguanlou will only be used when Princess Yuan returns to the province.
In addition, from the perspective of the whole book, there are also great differences between Ximen’s family and Jiafu’s singing content. According to scholars’ research, there are many descriptions of operas in Jin Ping Mei, including operas, miscellaneous operas, cantata and quyi. Pan Jinlian said, "I don’t listen to plain music in every ear, but only listen to meat." Acting in Jia’s house is mostly a more elegant and delicate Kunqu opera.
Fireworks are one of the reserved programs of the Lantern Festival. In the section "Setting off fireworks in front of the luxurious house" in Jin Ping Mei, Lan Ling smiles and shows the upstart of Ximen Qing to the fullest. Simon’s house set up fireworks early, and set off fireworks in the street center. Ximen Qing and others watched it upstairs, and the citizens who heard the news downstairs came to watch. "I don’t know the number of people who watched it." It is said that the great government of Ximen is setting off fireworks here. Who will not come to watch? "
Finally, Jia Fu and Ximen Jia have different tastes in food. There are many Yuanxiao foods mentioned in Jin Ping Mei, such as "four dishes of soup, one jar of wine, one plate of peach and one plate of noodles", melon seeds, "high-topped sugar, fresh fruit", "a box of Yuanxiao, a box of sugar crisp" and so on. Although there are many delicious foods, most of them are common in the market. However, Jia’s family is often ingenious in food, which is more exquisite than luxury. For example, in the section of mothering in Yuan Chun, the palace gave a dessert called "steamed crisp cheese with sugar". In the fifty-five chapters, we also mentioned "Duck Porridge", "Jujube Rice Porridge" and "Almond Tea". From the names, we can see the exquisite intentions, not to mention the famous dishes such as "eggplant" and "sour bamboo shoots and chicken skin soup".
It can be said that both the "wealth" of Ximen’s family and the "expensive" of Jia’s family are very lifelike and have their own characteristics.
Preventing the Festival after the Lantern Festival: Inheritance and Metaphor
As mentioned earlier, A Dream of Red Mansions and Jin Ping Mei have an obvious inheritance relationship. Scholars in Qing Dynasty said that A Dream of Red Mansions was born out of Jin Ping Mei, which is also reflected in the arrangement and writing of the Lantern Festival in the book. Lantern Festival is not only a festival model depicted in two books, but also an important node in the structure, which contains profound metaphors of prosperity and decline.
From the structural arrangement, the position of Lantern Festival in the two books has an amazing correspondence. In Jin Ping Mei, Ximen celebrated the Lantern Festival for the first time in the fifteenth cycle, while in A Dream of Red Mansions, it was in the seventeenth to eighteenth cycle.
After the Lantern Festival, Ximen Qing began to build his garden, and made a private life with Li Pinger. He not only acquired the property of Li Pinger, but also quickly ingratiated himself with Cai Jing. This is the important node of Ximen Qing’s successful official career.
The fifteenth chapter of Jin Ping Mei
It was around the Lantern Festival that the Grand View Garden was completed and became the residence of Jia Baoyu and his sisters. It is an important event for the Jia family to be a princess, and it can be seen from the following text that the conferring of Yuan Chun as a princess is the last important event for the Jia family to improve its status. Before that, the author had already explained the embarrassment of Jia’s lack of internal capsule through Leng Zixing and others. Similarly, Yuan Chun’s death was accompanied by the final decline of Jia’s family. Therefore, the Lantern Festival, when Yuan Fei was visiting her mother, happened to be the last short-term rise of Jia’s family before it completely declined.
The structural significance of another Lantern Festival is more obvious.
Forty-two to forty-five chapters in Jin Ping Mei depict a Lantern Festival in detail. Before that, Ximen Qing’s beloved concubine Li Pinger gave birth to his son Guan Gang, and he himself was promoted to official position. His family career was satisfactory, and when Simon’s family was in its heyday, the Lantern Festival also had a good time. However, after that, it was soon written that "Monk Hu appeared to apply medicine", which laid a clue that Ximen Qing died of sexual indulgence, which was the turning point of the book’s prosperity and decline. We soon saw that Ximen Qing lost something he was proud of, and the Ximen family could never have such a prosperous Lantern Festival again.
The forty-second chapter of Jin Ping Mei
Similarly, A Dream of Red Mansions has arranged such a grand festival celebration near the middle of the book. The author used fifty-three and fifty-four chapters to describe a grand celebration of cooking oil with flowers and bright fire. Before this time, several new sisters had just arrived in the Grand View Garden, and this Lantern Festival was also the one with the largest number of people in the Grand View Garden. However, even in such a grand celebration, the plot of Wu Jinxiao’s tribute still shows that Jia’s supply is not as good as before. After the Lantern Festival, Xifeng, who was in power in Jiafu, had a physical crisis. In less than half a year, by the time of the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, the characters were scattered and the scene of decline appeared. As the fifty-three Hui Dynasty fat group said: "The first half of put in order, the second half of Xiao Luo, alternating shades." Fifty-three or fifty-four Yuan Xiao banquets are the turning point from prosperity to decline.
87 version of "Dream of Red Mansions" stills, Rongguofu Lantern Festival Banquet
So, why is the Lantern Festival?
In addition to the important position of Lantern Festival in ancient China, and its unique entertainment and celebration nature, as Andrew H. Plaks pointed out in "China Narratology", novelists in Ming and Qing Dynasties prefer to describe Lantern Festival, and arrange the hottest scene in the coldest season of the year, which can be regarded as a fable of life’s ups and downs, which contains the dialectic of ups and downs in China’s philosophy. Both Jin Ping Mei and A Dream of Red Mansions tell readers in the most prosperous festivals that this is just the appearance of the desolation of life. The more lively the banquet, the more it reminds readers that there is no banquet that never ends, and the prosperity will inevitably be scattered and desolate. The fog of sadness is all over Hualin, and the white earth is the truth of life.
As Cao Xueqin told us in the first time in A Dream of Red Mansions, it is time to prevent the smoke from going out after the Lantern Festival. After the prosperous Lantern Festival, both books ushered in a long and grand curtain call. Those beautiful or dirty, fresh or dull will fade away step by step. Whether Ximen Qing, Jia Baoyu or you and I are immersed in them, we will finally face the truth of life.

Talking about "Fengqiao Experience" again, Zhejiang continues to write a new era chapter.

  Cctv news: The "Fengqiao Experience" created by cadres and masses in Fengqiao, Zhejiang Province in the 1960s, after persistence and development in all parts of the country, is full of vigor and vitality, and has become a banner of the national front for comprehensive management of politics and law.

  Nowadays, Zhejiang is constantly exploring on the road of adhering to the development of "Maple Bridge Experience", and many pioneers with the characteristics of the times have emerged. They have made silent efforts in their posts, contributing to the modernization of grassroots social governance, building a higher level of peaceful China, and enhancing people’s sense of acquisition, happiness and security.

  Shen Hong: I’m not fighting alone.

  Shen sir studio.

  "Take a map of Hangzhou and fold it in half. The intersection in the middle is our jurisdiction." In a few words, Shen Hong, a community policeman, let everyone remember this Changqing police station, which is "deeply hidden" in an old residential building.

  There is a "Shen sir Studio" named after Shen Hong. In this office of less than 10 square meters, there are several desks, "I want to tell the masses about safety protection knowledge from time to time". On the wall, Shen Hong’s own "four-front" work method and "five-first-five-morning work mechanism" are posted, as well as photos of him and members of the community safety Committee going to the community for publicity.

  "I like this photo best. This is how we usually work together." Shen Hong pointed to a photo on the wall, saying that in the photo, Shen Hong and the members of the community safety committee in dressing the were talking while walking, and everyone was smiling brightly.

  Wuya Community Safety Committee is a mass team established in May 2017. "As soon as the recruitment advertisement was posted, more than 200 people signed up. Finally, we screened out 15 members to provide free services to the community." According to Shen Hong, most of the members in the team are retired workers. It is such a team that has become Shen Hong’s most intimate helper.

  On a rainy night, Shen Hong received an alarm at eleven o’clock in the evening, and a girl met a pervert in the public laundry room. Shen Hong immediately went to the police and posted a message on the WeChat group of the Security Committee to call on the masses, but no one replied. The terrain of the old community is complex, and the road is not easy to walk at night. When Shen Hong arrived, he actually saw Zhou Zhiliang, the captain of the security Committee, who had already pushed the pervert to the ground.

  Zhou Zhiliang, 68, worked as a security captain in Wuya community after being laid off, and joined the security committee a few years after retirement. When he arrived that night, the pervert was preparing to plot evil. Zhou Zhiliang later explained: "I typed slowly and my eyes were blurred, so I didn’t reply in the group. I rushed out as soon as I saw the information in the WeChat group." Zhou Zhiliang arrived four minutes earlier than Shen Hong. These four minutes prevented a vicious incident.

  The next day, the girl sent a banner. She said, "I couldn’t believe the moment I saw Zhou Zhiliang in despair. There really was a superhero to save me."

  "Many times they say that community work is carried out under the leadership of police officer Shen. In fact, it is not me who leads, but everyone runs together to create a safe and safe environment. Sometimes they even surpass me. I am very moved by the enthusiasm of the masses." Shen Hong said.

  Due to the special location, there are many financial investment enterprises in the jurisdiction. During the usual visit, many companies in Shen Hongfa "feel wrong". What is wrong specifically, Shen Hong can’t tell, so he plunged into the book and obtained all the qualification certificates related to finance. "I am more professional than the people who work in the fraud company, so I can’t cheat me."

  In Shen Hong’s jurisdiction, an investment company claimed that a steel market in Liaoning was the largest in Northeast China, and the investment was profitable. After verification, Shen Hong found that the so-called steel market did not exist. He immediately called more than 100 investors to put facts and reason, and ultimately did not cause significant losses.

  "Protecting the lives and property of ordinary people is the responsibility and mission of the people’s public security." Shen Hong said so and did so.

  After Shen Hong finished talking, the night had fallen, and the street intersections in the old city were quiet, as if waiting for Zhou Zhiliang’s shouts every night: "Residents inform the news, turn off the gas stove, put away the battery car, close the doors and windows, and guard against thieves."

  Ren Minqi: plainclothes police in the new era

  Jianggan Branch relies on "online policing" to realize prediction, early warning and prevention.

  When I first saw Ren Minqi, the captain of the plainclothes brigade of Jianggan Branch of Hangzhou Public Security Bureau, he was a little excited and said, "I haven’t worn a police uniform for a long time, and I still feel a little uncomfortable."

  Ren Minqi is a special police officer, worked as a public security and criminal policeman, served as deputy director, and worked in the major crimes unit. He is an old policeman with more than 20 years of police experience.

  The plainclothes brigade of Jianggan Branch is a team established in January 2016. They are a group of policemen who wear uniforms in their hearts. They often play the roles of little brother who delivers takeout, uncle who repairs electric cars, and "idle people" who read newspapers on the street. All of them are "powerful" with superb acting skills.

  Different from the "sweeping the road" working method of plainclothes policemen in the past, Ren Minqi emphasized to be "a new era plainclothes policeman supported by online policing."

  Online policing refers to obtaining the most real-time, vivid and authentic data information through information technology, and making accurate calculation and application, so that the deployment of various services is more scientific, the police force is more accurate, the public security control is more powerful, and the prediction, early warning and prevention of police work are gradually realized. This has become the "brain" in the work of Ren Minqi and the team members.

  “‘ Fight early and fight small ’ It is the focus of our work, and it is the meaning of our work not to let the vital interests of the people suffer losses. " With this early warning mechanism, the work of Ren Minqi and the team members has been carried out more smoothly. It is this kind of working method that makes criminals frightened. "Major cases and minor cases are broken together. As long as the people call the police, the investigation intensity is the same. What we have adopted is ‘ Quick detection and quick breaking ’ 。”

  How fast is it? 1 minute after the incident, police will be released, 1 minute for video synchronization, 5 minutes for on-site disposal, 1 hour for sharing on-site video, releasing investigation information, carrying out booty control, 2 hours for conducting synthetic operations, investigating and controlling suspicious persons, vehicles and articles, 10 hours for publishing the results of criminal technology comparison, and 24 hours for tracking down the rented houses, hotels, Internet cafes and other tracks, and punishing those responsible for violations.

  Ren Minqi told a case that impressed him deeply: a mass bought two live chickens and had them stolen at home. With the idea of giving them a try, they reported the case to the police. After tracing the line, the case was solved in four hours. One of the chickens had been stewed, and we took the pot back to the owner’s house.

  “‘ Jiang Gan has nothing to do, world without thieves. ’ This is the goal of our work. " This is not a flashy slogan. Ren Minqi and the team members are working hard for it every day.

  When talking about work, Ren Minqi talked endlessly about his family. His eyes were soft and his speech speed slowed down. "In fact, the most embarrassing and sad thing is that he can’t stay with his family often." "Dad, please open a small shop downstairs, so that I can see you every day when I go home." Seeing his father every day has become the most desirable thing for Ren Minqi’s son.

  "The teacher suspected that he was naughty at school, and he said to the teacher ’ I’m the son of a policeman, and I won’t do anything bad. ’” Speaking of this, Ren Minqi straightened up and the light in his eyes was brighter.

  Yang Guangzhao: Let the sun shine into the hearts of the people.

  Lao Yang Mediation Center.

  In 1986, the then "Xiao Yang" (Yang Guangzhao) had just transferred from the army to the Fengqiao police station in Zhuji City, and had taken root in this land since then, which was 24 years.

  Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, in 2010, the demobilized cadres had already become the "old Yang" in the mouth of Fengqiao people. In August 2010, Lao Yang should have retired gloriously, but at that time, the cadres and masses in Fengqiao asked Lao Yang to stay and continue to shine for the people in Fengqiao Town. With the efforts of many parties, Fengqiao Police Station established the "Laoyang Mediation Center" led by Yang Guangzhao, becoming the first non-governmental mediation organization of grassroots public security organs in Zhejiang Province. Since then, in the fields, people’s homes, factories and mines, government schools, you can often see Lao Yang who could have enjoyed his old age but still insisted on working.

  His cheeks are rosy, his voice is loud, his speech is logical and full of confidence, and his feet are full of power, which makes people feel prestigious at first sight. Twenty-four years of police service, twenty-four years of hard work, no one can tell the details, only a little white hair on his head quietly tells us that he is 68 years old.

  In Fengqiao Town, both the elders and the younger generation will affectionately call him "Lao Yang", and "Find Lao Yang if you have something" has become the mantra of the people in Fengqiao Town. Children at home are naughty, there are contradictions between husband and wife, and neighbors are "red in the face". They will always talk to Lao Yang. As long as what Lao Yang said, everyone will give "face".

  Neighbors upstairs and downstairs in a building, the dogs raised by the upstairs residents bitten the downstairs residents, and the two sides failed to reach an agreement on compensation, so they went to Lao Yang Mediation Center. After Lao Yang’s back-to-back and face-to-face guidance and coordination, the two sides finally reconciled and shook hands.

  Lao Yang said: "Mediator is a thankless job, which requires us to be fair and just, and to combine law with emotion." Lao Yang summed up many years’ mediation experience and created eight methods of civil dispute mediation, namely, the method of persuasion according to law, the method of grasping key points, the method of empathy, the method of combining the back, the method of linkage mediation, the method of case examples, the method of relying on strength and the method of emotional feeling.

  Lao Yang’s mediation team is also growing. In order to give full play to the role of mentoring, Lao Yang also made clear the "four-hearted quality" and "four-thousand spirit" that people’s mediators should have. Namely: treat the masses sincerely, resolve conflicts enthusiastically, persuade the masses to be patient, serve the masses sincerely and visit thousands of households, say a thousand words, suffer hardships and try every means.

  This year, Lao Yang Mediation Center has mediated nearly 200 cases, and the outlines of these cases are clearly lying on Lao Yang’s handwritten notebook. In Lao Yang’s heart, he always has a complex of "Maple Bridge Experience" and always has a feeling that is hard to give up with the masses. He is the practitioner of "Maple Bridge Experience" in the new era. (Text/Dai Mengmeng)

Fraud gangs rent 2 million high-end office buildings, and each group has to cheat 3,000 yuan every day. The outstanding ones are awarded the "best male god" and the laggards stand to work.

Recently, the Public Security Bureau of Gongan County, Hubei Province, under the command and dispatch of the Jingzhou Public Security Bureau’s special class to crack down on crimes involving fraud, drugs and gambling, successfully detected a major telecommunication network fraud case, and the whole chain smashed a criminal gang that committed fraud on the grounds of network promotion.36 criminal suspects were arrested and nearly 100 mobile phones and computers were seized, involving more than 16 million yuan.
01
Serial trap
Studio owner cheated of 130,000 yuan.
"Good boss! We can do network promotion for you for free, is it necessary? " In August this year, Gao, who opened a studio in the urban area of Gongan County, received a phone call from a customer service staff who claimed to be a network company. The other party offered to do network promotion for the studio for free. The two sides added WeChat to each other, seemingly ordinary business exchanges, but it made Gao deeper and deeper. The network company promised to help build an e-commerce platform, promote the sale of goods and attract investment for free, and the income was divided into 37%, with Gao accounting for 70%. Unable to withstand the temptation, Gao bought a domain name for 517 yuan, and the network company made an "official website" for Gao’s studio. Two days later, a man who claimed to be a China Merchants Company called and said that Gao’s website was very good, and he wanted to lead more than 100 businesses to settle in collectively, and pay the settlement fee according to the different prices of each 300 yuan. After listening to Gao, he nodded with excitement, but the other party said that the server capacity of Gao’s website was too small to bear so many businesses, and suggested that it expand the server capacity. Gao quickly found a network company and spent 27,232 yuan to handle the server expansion business. Only then did dozens of businesses successfully settle in. When it is ready to collect the occupancy fee, China Merchants Company claims that it is unsafe for merchants to prompt when making online payment, and it is necessary to handle the payment security control for the website. Gao once again found the network company and spent 32,640 yuan to successfully handle the payment security control. Subsequently, Gao received 60 small sums of money such as occupancy fees or advertising spaces, totaling 11,500 yuan. After seeing the income, Gao received a call from another investment promotion company, also wanting to enter the website, but the server capacity was too small.Gao also spent 38,960 yuan for the second expansion; I want to pay but the prompt is not safe. Gao spent another 38,400 yuan on website security certification. Faced with the same routine, Gao suddenly woke up and suspected that he had been cheated. On October 26, he went to the Public Security Bureau of Gongan County to report to the police.

Rush thousands of miles
Hundreds of police officers pointed to the electric fraud dens.
"This is a typical online fraud." In the face of Gao’s doubts, the police of the Netan Brigade of the Public Security Bureau of Gongan County hit the nail on the head. After the police checked Gao’s "official website", it was found that there were several main functional modules in the background, such as goods, orders, membership, finance and system settings, which seemed to be fully functional. In fact, the website only had the function of online display of goods, and the member center had no registered member information, no online trading orders and no registered information of any merchants. After investigation, it was learned that the so-called merchants’ presence was just a fraudulent gang uploading some pictures to the website, creating the illusion that the merchants had settled in one after another. The police investigation found that Gao paid for the purchase of server expansion fees, security controls, website detection and other expenses were all invoiced by a technology company in Sichuan. Around this clue, the police conducted an in-depth investigation and found that there was an organized and premeditated mega-fraud gang behind the technology company. After nearly 20 days of painstaking research, on November 22, with the support of Jingzhou Public Security Bureau’s special class to crack down on cases involving fraud, drugs and gambling, the Public Security Bureau of Gongan County assembled more than 50 police officers and drove nearly a thousand kilometers to Chengdu, Sichuan. At 8 o’clock on the 23rd, the police in the special class continued to fight despite the hard work of long-distance running. With the support and assistance of the local public security organs, 100 police officers were divided into three roads and smashed the "technology company" entrenched in a high-end office building in one fell swoop.At the scene, 36 people involved in the case were arrested, more than 100 mobile phones and computers were seized, and the funds involved were frozen by 2.1 million yuan, realizing the whole chain attack on the fraud gang.

Reveal the bottom of the team
You must cheat 3000 yuan every day.
According to the police investigating the case, the gang is leased in a high-end office building with luxurious decoration, with an annual rent of more than 2 million yuan, and has multiple levels such as director, sales director, manager and sales, which are divided into operation department, sales department, technology department, personnel department and finance department. The sales department is the core department of the gang. There are 6 sales teams, each with about 4 people. Similar to Gao’s scam, it is all completed by one sales team. They play different roles to commit fraud according to the script formulated by the company. The income from fraud is called "performance", and the commission bonus varies from 10% to 7% according to the level. An in-depth investigation by the police found that,The gang system is very strict, requiring six sales teams to cheat 3,000 yuan every day, and there is a "performance" competition among the teams. The team with outstanding performance can get the title of "King Team", and the individual can get the titles of "Best Male God" and "Strongest King".Those who are lagging behind in the "performance" appraisal shall be punished by singing, push-ups and standing to work. In the company’s eye-catching honor list, the "performance" of the "King Team" exceeded one million yuan in October. It is understood that the company was incorporated in May this year, and recruited "network promoters" on the Internet. After simple training, they were directly employed by the old and the new. In order to find the target of fraud, the company’s sales staff inquired about the basic information of the business through Baidu, Meituan, Public Comment and other platforms, and began to implement fraud after obtaining the phone number. After preliminary investigation, the company has involved more than 16 million yuan since its establishment six months ago.
