The dawn of Russian-Ukrainian peace talks is still hard to see under the western "fatigue"

  Xinhua News Agency, Moscow, December 10th(International observation) The dawn of Russian-Ukrainian peace talks is still hard to see under the western "fatigue"

  Xinhua News Agency reporter Zhao Bing

  In the past, the conflict between Russia and Ukraine continued, and Ukraine’s continuous counterattack failed to effectively break through the Russian defense line. With the coming of the severe winter, the war is at an impasse. At the same time, western countries began to "feel tired" of helping Ukraine, and there were rumors that Russia and Ukraine had secretly started negotiations.

  Analysts believe that despite the "Ukrainian fatigue" in the West, there is still a willingness to continue to support Uzbekistan. Due to the fundamental differences between Russia and Ukraine in terms of negotiation conditions and peace vision, the prospects for negotiations between the two sides are still slim, and there is no dawn of restoring peace in the short term.

  The war is deadlocked.

  Recently, the conflict between Russia and Ukraine has continued to drag on, and the battlefield situation has been deadlocked. Russian troops continued to block the Ukrainian offensive in Kupiyansk, Hongliman, Donetsk, Hellson and Zaporoge. The Ukrainian army, on the other hand, has been forced to turn from active attack to defense since late October due to the unfavorable progress of the summer counterattack and the reduction of western aid. The two sides began to use long-range weapons such as missiles and drones to launch attacks more frequently.

  According to the Russian notification, from December 3 to 8, the Russian army used high-precision weapons and drones to carry out 30 cluster attacks on Ukrainian arsenals and other facilities, and also attacked Ukrainian armed forces and foreign mercenaries. In a week, the Ukrainian army lost more than 1,400 people and 1,500 people respectively in the direction of Hongliman and Donetsk, and dozens of armored vehicles and artillery were destroyed, and five planes and 224 drones were shot down.

  According to Ukrainian media reports, since November, key facilities in Kiev, the capital of Ukraine, and many places in the west and south have been continuously attacked by Russian drones. At the same time, the Ukrainian army has stepped up its air strikes against Crimea in the past month, aiming at reconnaissance and collection of Russian military information to launch a larger-scale operation. In addition, the Ukrainian military said that the Russian army assembled more than 40,000 soldiers to attack Avdeev Card, an important town in Donetsk, which suffered serious losses, but the offensive continued unabated.

  Russian Defense Minister shoigu said a few days ago that the Ukrainian army has lost more than 125,000 people and 16,000 weapons and equipment in the so-called counter-offensive in the past six months, and the "desperate actions of Ukraine and the West have not changed the battlefield situation". Zaluzhnyi, commander-in-chief of the Ukrainian armed forces, admitted in an interview with The Economist that the conflict was "deadlocked, which may last for several years", and that the Ukrainian army could not break through the Russian defense line and was "in fact in trouble".

  The spread of "fatigue" in the west

  As the battlefield situation continues to stalemate, "Ukrainian fatigue" is spreading in western countries.

  The United States is the main supporter of Ukraine, but after the outbreak of the new round of Palestinian-Israeli conflict, the United States’ great military aid to Israel diverted its aid to Ukraine. Domestic partisan strife has also affected US aid to Ukraine. On the 6th, the US Senate failed to pass the White House’s application for special funding including more than $60 billion in aid to Ukraine.

  According to a recent report released by the Kiel Institute for World Economics in Germany, from August to October 2023, western countries promised a total aid plan to Ukraine of 2.11 billion euros, a decrease of 87% compared with the same period in 2022 and the lowest since January 2022. The report said that there are great uncertainties in the aid plans of the European Union and the United States.

  The EU will hold a summit from 14th to 15th to vote on the 50 billion euro aid plan for Ukraine, but EU officials said that it is "very, very difficult" for member countries to reach an agreement. Hungarian Prime Minister Orban openly opposed the aid plan to Ukraine and the EU’s initiation of Ukraine’s accession negotiations. Slovakia’s new Prime Minister Fizo also explicitly opposed military assistance, saying that he was only willing to provide humanitarian assistance to Ukraine. Polls in Poland show that people are tired of aiding Ukraine, and the relationship between Poland and Ukraine is also cracked due to the ban on food imports from Ukraine. Italian Prime Minister Silvio meloni, despite publicly expressing her stance against Ukraine, admitted in a prank phone call that all parties were "tired" of the Ukrainian crisis.

  Nevertheless, aid to Ukraine is still "politically correct" in the west, and some countries still have strong willingness to aid Ukraine and are trying to strengthen its military production capacity. The United States recently signed a military cooperation agreement with Ukraine for joint production and technology sharing. Rheinmetall plans to establish an armored vehicle production line in western Ukraine by the end of this year.

  In addition, U.S. Secretary of State Blinken publicly stated on the 7th that U.S. military assistance to Ukraine is beneficial to the U.S. economy. In this regard, Timofei Bordachev, project director of Valdai International Debate Club, a Russian think tank, believes that the West should not be expected to reduce or even interrupt its aid to Ukraine.

  The peace talks are temporarily difficult

  Seymour Hirsch, a well-known American investigative journalist, recently revealed that the Russian-Ukrainian peace talks led by gerasimov, Chief of Staff of the Russian Federation Armed Forces, and Zaluzhnyi, Commander-in-Chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, seem to have started. According to Hirsch, the conditions for restoring peace that the two sides are negotiating may include that Ukraine can join NATO, but NATO promises not to deploy troops and offensive weapons in Ukraine, while Russia will keep Crimea, Donetsk and Lugansk. Part of the territory.

  In this regard, some Russian experts pointed out that it is impossible for Russia to accept such a transaction and will not believe NATO’s above commitments. Some Russian experts believe that this may be an information war between Ukraine and the West. Senior officials, such as Podolyak, adviser to the President’s Office of Ukraine, publicly stated that the topic of negotiations should not be hyped, the Russian side has not changed its goal, and Uzbekistan’s position has not changed.

  Analysts generally believe that the exchange of prisoners between Russia and Ukraine shows that there are communication channels between the two sides. However, due to the fundamental differences in the conditions for resuming peace talks and the vision for the future peace order, the prospects for resuming peace talks between the two sides are still slim.

  Jonathan Finn Na, Deputy Assistant to the President of the United States for National Security Affairs, said publicly a few days ago that the United States hopes to force Russia to negotiate according to Ukrainian conditions within 2024. In this regard, peskov, Russian Presidential Press Secretary, bluntly said that the remarks that Russia can negotiate according to Ukrainian conditions are "totally unrealistic". Ambassador-at-large of Russian Foreign Ministry Rodion Miroshnik also said that the key issue is whether Ukraine and the West are really ready for negotiations. He said that at least for now, Russia will continue to work hard to achieve the goal of special military operations.

Health Lecture Hall: Baduanjin is the first choice for health care, and every move is a blind medicine.

In the No.16 courtyard of Beixinqiao in Beijing, behind the swaying bamboo leaves is the mottled shadow of the sun. In front of the window of the north house, a young little man is standing on a pile. This is me more than 40 years ago, smiling and imitating my grandfather’s practice.

My grandfather is a doctor of traditional Chinese medicine surgery and ophthalmology, and also a veteran martial arts lover. He learned a bagua knife and bagua palm from Sun Guangdi, a descendant of Bagua Palm.

One day when I returned to my hometown when I was young, I got up early for a walk and was asked by my grandfather if I wanted to practice something. At that time, I ignored the old man’s intentions and was lazy and laughed it off. Who would have thought that I missed the good relationship of practicing martial arts? Later, I followed the famous Tai Ji Chuan Guan Yongnian to practice Xingyiquan for several years, and gradually entered the healthy jungle, only to know how important guidance and breathing are to the balance of the body.

Also known as the "martial arts", unlike the martial arts novels, which can dominate the martial arts and live forever, Baduanjin is a complete set of guiding highlights and a famous health care method in China. "Eight" can be understood as "Eight Diagrams", which means that the achievement method contains the meaning of China’s ancient philosophy. And "brocade" is because the practicing movements of this method make people feel as soft and beautiful as silk brocade.

According to legend, Baduanjin originated in the Han Dynasty, and a guide map dating back more than 1200 years was found in the tombs of the Western Han Dynasty, in which five movements were very similar to those of the vertical Baduanjin in later generations. The word "Baduanjin" first appeared in the Biography of Immortals by Ge Hong, a Taoist scholar in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. After the Song Dynasty, Baduanjin gradually formed a systematic achievement method, which was spread and developed. The vigorous development of printing in Ming and Qing dynasties provided a material basis for the dissemination of achievement works, and Baduanjin was widely spread.

After the founding of New China, the Party and the government attached great importance to the development of national traditional sports. In 1957, Ba Duan Jin was compiled and published by Tang Hao and Ma Fengge, which provided a good theoretical basis for the public to learn Ba Duan Jin. Since then, the number of people practicing Baduanjin has increased year by year. In the past two years, children born after 1990s and 00 have become more and more interested in Chinese medicine and traditional culture. After the practice video of Ba Duan Jin I shot was posted on the Internet, there were also many comments and praises from young people.

Ba Duan Jin, as its name implies, is divided into eight sections. I won’t go into details about the specific actions here. If you are interested, you can search online for teaching video exercises. According to the practice posture, Baduanjin can be divided into vertical and sitting styles.

Sitting Baduan Brocade focuses on resting the mind, mainly combining breathing and self-massage, focusing on resting, with moderate intensity and small range of movements, and leaning towards body movements above the waist; Vertical Baduanjin refers to the limb movement which is mainly guided by movements, and it "shakes the bones and muscles and moves the limbs", with a large range of movements, which is conducive to the coordinated movement of the whole body.

Practicing Baduanjin can regulate immune function and improve antioxidant capacity. Baduanjin can also improve vascular endothelial function. Medical experiments have proved that after practicing Baduanjin for 24 weeks, patients with essential hypertension can effectively reduce systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure, and at the same time, the levels of nitric oxide synthase (NOS) and nitric oxide (NO) are significantly increased.

The effects of each section of Baduanjin are also different. Some can calm the mind, adjust breathing and straighten the body shape, some can smooth the heart and lungs, spleen and stomach, liver and kidney, some can promote blood circulation in the lungs and strengthen the heart, some can affect the abdominal cavity and massage the spleen and stomach, and some can promote blood dredging in the whole body, which is very helpful for relieving fatigue and restoring energy.

Baduanjin is a treasure of Chinese history and culture. Under the guidance of traditional Chinese medicine theories such as Yin and Yang, meridians and viscera, Baduanjin has played an important role in disease elimination, health care and rehabilitation treatment.

Of course, some people judge the rationality and necessity of China’s guiding and breathing technique from the perspective of so-called "western science". In my opinion, many times, the mystery of Chinese medicine lies in its ease of use and effectiveness, but we don’t need to use scientific parameters and standards to carefully study what is behind it.

We prefer to be "ignorant" and believe that its efficacy is the best gift left by our ancestors for thousands of years.

The 80-year-old woman died after marrying a young man for 25 days (Figure)






The couple, who are in love with their grandmothers, accept everyone’s blessing.


  On September 28th, Delfa Vapes, an 82-year-old Argentine woman, married Renaldo Wavyk, a 24-year-old handsome guy, which once shocked Argentina. After only 25 days of marriage, Delfa suddenly died of a heart attack on the 22nd!


  The sudden death of Delfa, the old bride, caused a sensation in Argentina again. Some people suspect that the groom Renaldo did not hesitate to "murder for money" in order to get the old lady’s inheritance as soon as possible.


  "Grandmother-in-law Love" is 58 years old


  The groom, Renaldo Wavyk, is 24 years old and an unemployed man in Santa Fe, the capital of Santa Fe province in central Argentina. The bride, Delfa Walpes, is 82 years old. She has never been married before, and she has no children or daughters around her. She has already retired for many years.


  According to reports, the love affair between them began nine years ago. After the death of Renaldo’s mother at the age of 15, Delfa, a great friend of Renaldo’s mother, took the initiative to invite the "little boy" to live with him. Who knows, the two had a long relationship.


  On September 28th, the 58-year-old couple held a grand wedding in Santa Fe, which caused a sensation in the whole country. The media in Brazil, Spain, Chile and other countries reported on this shocking wedding.


  At that time, a reporter asked Delfa curiously: "Is this marriage just spiritual?" The 82-year-old bride replied politely, "No, it won’t be just spiritual. There will be many more."


  Only 25 days, the "old bride" died suddenly.


  After the wedding, the couple accepted the invitation of the municipal government of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and went to Brazil for their honeymoon. After that, they also plan to travel to Spain and be interviewed by a local TV station to tell their love story. But surprisingly, on October 22nd, shortly after they returned from their honeymoon in Brazil, the old lady Delfa died of a heart attack!


  According to the doctor in charge of her treatment, Delfa’s health began to deteriorate since she got married on September 28th. On October 18th, when she and her husband returned home early, Delfa suffered a heart attack and was sent to the intensive care unit of the local sanatorium in Santa Fe.


  On the morning of the 22nd, she developed complications such as dyspnea and severe pneumonia, and finally died because of ineffective rescue. On the 22nd, a close friend of A Delfa said sadly: "A Delfa said before her death that although she only enjoyed 25 days of marriage in her life, everything in her life has changed wonderfully in the past 25 days."


  The little groom "murdered for money"?


  Since she has no children, Delfa, the old lady, has transferred all her property to the name of "Little Husband". At that time, all kinds of speculations were rampant. It is speculated that the groom Renaldo wanted to get the legacy of the old lady Delfa at an early date, and he did not hesitate to "murder for money".


  Renaldo said that his wife’s unfortunate death made him feel extremely sad: "I can’t accept the fact that I have lost her. I’m not interested in what others say. What I like is only a’ mature woman’. If I only married her for material reasons, then it’s not necessary, because she has already donated all her property to me. There is no one else around her, and the only relative is me. " Yuan hai

  However, is it really that supermarket aunts are bored and POSE with all kinds of goods? If you think so, you are really "naive". The reporter learned that in fact, this is a "promotional artifact" carefully developed by marketers, and the technical term of anti-God is "creative display".

  @ 丫丫丫丫丫丫: Behind the supermarket aunt is a marketer.

  Who came up with these ideas? Is it really a supermarket "aunt" who is idle to kill time?

  The reporter visited a large supermarket in Changsha and learned that in fact, there are not only supermarket aunts with specific arrangements behind the masterpiece, but more importantly, a group of creative professional marketers.

  The staff of Carrefour supermarket told the reporter: "This is not the masterpiece of’ Aunt’, but mainly planned by professionals from businesses and supermarkets. Generally, it is only available when manufacturers promote their products. "

  The reporter learned from several supermarkets that these ideas generally originated from the planning department of suppliers.

  After they make creative planning, it is time for the supermarket "aunt" to show her talents. "After the supplier designs the shapes and props, he will send someone to the supermarket to lead the waiter to be responsible for splicing the goods." Only in this way can we see those "works of God".

  In addition, many supermarkets also have their own planning departments and art departments. In order to improve the popularity of supermarkets, they will also make some planning plans for the display of goods.

  @ 中中中中: Attracting customers and improving sales performance.

  Why do manufacturers and supermarkets make masterpieces? In fact, the goal of "making you look good" is to "make you pay" and attract consumers and improve sales performance by "aunt’s masterpiece".

  Just like Li Mian, I just went to the supermarket to buy paper, but I was attracted by the idea of "bicycle" toothpaste. When I saw that it was quite affordable, I bought an extra toothpaste. Many citizens are naturally attracted when they see the creative display in the supermarket. Take a closer look at how it is put out under research, so as to pay more attention to the product.

  "Ordinary goods display is difficult to attract customers’ attention." Ms. Li, a staff member of Carrefour, said that this kind of creative display can especially attract customers to stop and watch.

  In addition to the need for creative display for manufacturers’ promotion, supermarkets will also use this creative display to create a festive atmosphere and gather popularity when holidays come. While adding vitality to the supermarket, it can also make customers happy.

In 2019, they accounted for 76.6% and 23.4% respectively, and in 2020 they accounted for 53.6% and 46.4% respectively.  

The so-called online music service can be simply understood as paying for members.

At the same time, deepen cooperation with various partners and further expand the diversified business model of the platform. The sponsors are BofASecurities, CICC and Credit Suisse.  

Copyright war in the first half, refined operation in the second half  

In fact, Internet companies such as Tencent, Baidu, Ali and Netease have all laid out in the music field, forming the whole industrial chain layout of online music, online karaoke, offline performances and digital albums. However, with Baidu Music being managed by Taihe Music and Xiami Music shut down, Cool Dog Music, QQ Music and Cool Me Music under Tencent Music Entertainment and Netease Cloud Music under Netease Company have become one of the few players in the online field.  

The last round of stories in the online music market originated from copyright. Due to historical reasons such as "free download", Baidu Music did not buy more music copyrights, and QQ Music, Xiami Music Music and Cool Dog Music took the opportunity to rise. Although the market did not form an absolute advantage at that time, the copyrights in their hands were enough for them to gather a group of audiences.  

The advantage of copyright has also become a key turning point in the history of Tencent’s music entertainment. In 2016, Tencent merged its QQ music business with China Music Group. Tencent replaced its equity with resources and became the largest shareholder of the newly established Tencent Music Entertainment Group. It includes three online music platforms: QQ Music, Cool Me Music and Cool Dog Music, two live broadcast platforms: Cool Dog Live and Cool Me Live, and a national karaoke platform.  

Since then, most domestic online music platforms have a certain amount of exclusive copyright, forming a situation of "one super and many strong". There are also offensive and defensive issues in copyright resale, among which Tencent Music Entertainment, which has the most exclusive copyright, and Netease Cloud Music, the "upstart", are the most fiercely contested. Tencent Music Entertainment has asked Netease Cloud Music to remove songs on the grounds of copyright three times. In 2017, when the copyright issue was the most serious, Ding Lei, CEO and director of Netease, also made a speech.  

Finally, under the mediation of the National Copyright Administration, Tencent Music Entertainment and Netease Cloud Music reached an agreement on the cooperation of online music copyright, and the two parties will authorize each other more than 99% of their exclusive music works, and agree to carry out long-term cooperation in music copyright. Earlier, Tencent Music Entertainment had reached a copyright transfer cooperation with Ali Music. In other words, with the "entry" of the National Copyright Administration, domestic mainstream music platforms have carried out several rounds of mutual authorization, and finally the copyright libraries are basically similar.  

In recent years, Netease Cloud Music has also actively reached a direct authorization with record companies. On the day when Netease released its financial report this year (May 18th), Netease Cloud Music and Sony Music reached a copyright agreement. So far, Netease Cloud Music has collected the copyrights of the three major record companies. In this regard, Ding Lei, CEO and director of Netease, said that we are very active in cooperating with various upstream content providers to help them publish high-quality music content. This has always been our goal, and we will actively cooperate with more upstream content providers in the future. In terms of IoT, whether it is a car or a smart home, it is a music playback scene that Netease Cloud cooperates very closely.  

After the copyright war died down, refined operation became the consensus of all families. There are also differences in the ways of choice. Tencent Music Entertainment has made great efforts in the fields of live broadcast, karaoke and long audio. Netease Cloud Music tried short video, live broadcast and knowledge payment, and finally found the community positioning.  

After 90% of active users are 90, change the form of traditional music products. 

According to the prospectus, in 2020, the average daily listening time of Netease Cloud Music users is 76 minutes. Users who actively create UGC account for 25%. By the end of 2020, the total number of song lists created by Netease Cloud Music users exceeded 2 billion, ranking first in China, with the highest user participation. Netease Cloud Music also keeps leading the industry in the data of per capita daily usage frequency, new user retention rate and active user retention rate.  

Relying on the positioning of music community and music discovery and sharing, Netease Cloud Music has changed the form of traditional online music products. Users’ habit of listening to songs has changed from "search mode" to "recommendation mode". According to the data in the prospectus, at present, Netease Cloud Music users have 2.8 artificial intelligence recommendations from the platform for every 10 songs they listen to on average. Innovative functions such as music criticism fully release the value of music connecting people’s emotions. 48% users of Netease Cloud Music will watch music reviews.  

According to the consulting data, Netease Cloud Music is the most popular online music platform among young users born in 1990s in China. The unique community atmosphere makes the platform popular with a large number of young users and creators, who nicknamed Netease Cloud Music "Cloud Village". According to Mob Research Institute’s "Picture Book of Generation Z College Students", Netease Cloud Music has become the most popular entertainment APP for Generation Z college students with high active users and high TGI (preference). According to the prospectus, about 90% of Netease Cloud Music’s active users are post-90 s.  

According to QuestMobile2020“Z Insight Report on "Generation Z", the online consumption ability and willingness of Generation Z (post-95 s and post-00 s) are much higher than those of the whole network users; At the same time, Generation Z is also a heavy user of mobile Internet, and its depth and breadth of use are higher than the average level of the whole network. The famous "adolescent effect" in the music market shows that the songs you listen to when you are young will affect your musical taste all your life. The music community where young users gather has more profound emotional value, which also means that the platform itself will have longer vitality.  

In addition, Netease Cloud Music also actively supports original musicians. According to the data in the prospectus, as of 2020, Netease Cloud Music has more than 230,000 original musicians, and the original musicians’ works account for 45% of the number of songs played on the platform.  

According to reports, Netease Cloud Music is the first music platform supported by original music in China. On the day of its launch in 2013, Netease Cloud Music announced that it would "create the best communication channel and space for thousands of musicians in Qian Qian, China". Since then, the platform has successively launched the industry’s first systematic musician support plan "Stone Plan", the "Ladder Plan", which pioneered many music revenue models, and the first large-scale original musician’s annual festival in China, "Hard-ground Furnace Night" and many other initiatives, which helped the original music market to keep pace with mainstream commercial music from being neglected.  

The rapid development of original music in mainland China, on the one hand, has promoted the vitality of the music market in China. The landlord’s cat, Yan Renzhong, Vicky Genie Chen and many other new generation musicians became popular from Netease Cloud Music; Various music types, such as national wind, folk songs and electronic music, have also moved from Yuncun to the whole network, from the small crowd to the public. On the other hand, as an important part of the national tide, the rising original music has also become an important carrier of cultural communication in China.
