Protection of Privacy and Personal Information in China’s Civil Code

 

  In modern society, the protection of privacy and personal information is highly valued by all countries. In order to better protect the personality rights of the broad masses of people, in view of various outstanding problems in the field of privacy and personal information in practice, China’s Civil Code has made special provisions on privacy and personal information protection on the basis of existing legal provisions. In Chapter 6 "Privacy and Protection of Personal Information" of the Personal Rights of the Civil Code, not only the basic concepts of privacy, personal information and the handling of personal information are clearly defined, but also the types of behaviors that infringe on privacy that are prohibited, the principles that should be followed in handling personal information, the elements of legality and the rational use of personal information are clearly defined, and the relationship between privacy and protection of personal information is also stipulated. In understanding and applying the provisions on privacy and personal information protection in the Civil Code, there are three issues that need attention.

  First, the right to privacy and the meaning of privacy

  The so-called right to privacy refers to the right that a natural person enjoys without infringement on his privacy, which is a specific personality right. The first paragraph of Article 1032 of the Civil Code stipulates: "Natural persons have the right to privacy. No organization or individual may infringe upon the privacy rights of others by spying, harassing, revealing or making public. " The right to privacy protects the privacy of natural persons. From the word privacy itself, we can see that there are two characteristics: one is "hidden", that is, it is not public. If it has been publicly or legally disclosed by natural persons, it is not privacy; The second is "private", that is, private matters, which have nothing to do with the rights and interests of others and public interests. It is from these two aspects that the second paragraph of Article 1032 of the Civil Code defines privacy as: "The private life of a natural person is peaceful and the private space, private activities and private information that others do not want to know." This shows that:

  1. Privacy is only owned by natural persons. Because the protection of privacy is closely related to the spiritual interests of natural persons, it is fundamentally to safeguard personal freedom and protect personal dignity. In other words, only natural persons can enjoy the spiritual interests that need legal protection for privacy. As for legal persons and unincorporated organizations, there is no privacy problem. Legal persons and unincorporated organizations also have activities and information that they don’t want to be known to others, and there is also a need for the order of work activities not to be disturbed and destroyed, but these are either state secrets, business secrets, or the order of production and operation or public activities.

  2. Privacy in China’s law is divided into: private life is peaceful and private space, private activities and private information that others don’t want to know. (1) Peace in private life can be divided into broad sense and narrow sense. In a broad sense, peace in private life can actually cover private space, private activities and private information. Because the second paragraph of Article 1032 of the Civil Code defines privacy, it juxtaposes private life peace with private space, so the private life peace in this paragraph refers to the narrow sense of private life peace, that is, the state that the personal life of a natural person is not illegally invaded by others. (2) Private space, private activities and private information that others do not want to know. It should be said that there is overlapping among the three. Because private space often carries out private activities or stores private information, such as husband and wife’s sexual life in the house, personal diaries stored in personal laptops or software programs. But it doesn’t completely overlap, because there are also private activities and private information in the public space. For example, in the lobby of a restaurant, two friends are chatting while eating, which is also a private activity and cannot be eavesdropped by others or made public. Private space is opposite to public space. Item 2 of Article 1033 of the Civil Code lists private spaces such as "houses and hotel rooms", but it is not limited to this. Private spaces also exist in public places such as restaurants, parks, banks and stations. In addition, private space includes not only physical space, but also intangible space, such as e-mail, WeChat group, nail group, etc., and also belongs to private space. Private activities refer to activities that natural people don’t want to be known to others.Such as the dinner of relatives and friends, the conversation between friends, etc.

  Private information is also called private information. China’s civil code does not divide sensitive information and non-sensitive information, but divides personal information into private information and non-private information. As for the identification of private information, it should be said that some of them are uncontroversial, such as personal health information, criminal record, property status, sexual orientation, etc., and definitely belong to private information. However, the name, appearance, gender, etc. of a natural person are not private information, because these information, especially names, are originally used for social communication and cannot be used as private information. Whether some personal information belongs to private information is controversial, such as personal online reading records, web browsing information, etc. Because our country adopts different protection methods for private information and non-private information in law, it is very important to distinguish them in judicial practice in the future. The author thinks that the obligee should not unilaterally decide whether a certain information belongs to private information, that is, it should not define private information from the obligee’s subjective understanding, but should first judge it according to the provisions of laws and regulations. If there is no provision, it should consider the following two factors comprehensively: (1) The more important the information is to safeguard the personal and property rights, personal dignity and personal freedom of natural persons, the more important it is. (2) How important is the information to maintain normal social communication and information freedom? The more important it is, the less it belongs to private information.

  Second, the nature of personal information rights and interests

  In order to coordinate the relationship between the protection of personal information of natural persons and the free flow and utilization of information, China’s Civil Code does not stipulate the right to personal information, but uses the expression of "personal information protection". Nevertheless, from the relevant provisions of the civil code on the protection of personal information, we can know that: first of all, natural persons enjoy civil rights rather than public rights for personal information. The core feature of personal information is identification, that is, only information that can identify a specific natural person belongs to personal information. This feature determines that the protection of personal information is not an end in itself, but a risk of infringement on the personal property rights and interests of natural persons, even personal dignity and personal freedom caused by the processing of personal information. Therefore, from the perspective of the natural person as the subject of personal information, its main interest is a defensive interest, that is, the interest that the natural person enjoys for personal information to prevent personal property rights and interests from being infringed or even personal dignity and personal freedom from being infringed or damaged due to the illegal handling of personal information. Although it is necessary to coordinate various interests in the protection of personal information, including the protection of natural person’s rights and interests, the maintenance of reasonable freedom of behavior and public interests, the confirmation of natural person’s personal information rights and interests cannot be opposed to the coordination of various interests around personal information. The legal confirmation and protection of the personal information rights and interests of natural persons is itself the definition of the freedom or interest boundaries of other subjects around personal information.

  Secondly, the rights and interests of personal information protect the personality interests of natural persons. Although the Civil Code does not stipulate the right to personal information, the second paragraph of Article 990 of the Civil Code stipulates: "In addition to the personality right stipulated in the preceding paragraph, natural persons enjoy other personality rights based on personal freedom and personal dignity." Therefore, the personal information rights and interests of natural persons can be classified as other personal rights and interests of natural persons based on personal freedom and personal dignity. Articles 1037 and 1029 of the Civil Code stipulate the specific content of personal information rights and interests.

  Thirdly, the rights and interests of personal information can protect the spiritual and economic interests of natural persons. China’s civil legislation and judicial practice always adhere to the unitary protection mode of personality right, that is, the protection of spiritual interests and economic interests is realized simultaneously through the personality right system. On the one hand, if property losses are caused by infringement of personal information rights and interests, the infringer may, according to Article 182 of the Civil Code, require the infringer to compensate according to the losses of the infringer or the profits of the infringer; If it is difficult to determine the loss and profit, the people’s court shall determine the amount of compensation according to the actual situation. On the other hand, if the infringement of personal information rights and interests causes serious mental damage, the infringed person has the right to request compensation for mental damage according to the first paragraph of Article 183 of the Civil Code. Therefore, there is no need to create a separate property right of personal information to protect the economic interests of natural persons on personal information.

  Third, the difference between privacy and personal information rights and interests

  Privacy and personal information rights and interests are two different personality rights and interests stipulated in China’s civil code, both of which can only be enjoyed by natural persons. The close relationship between the two shows that private information belongs to both privacy and personal information, and the legal provisions on the protection of personal information can be applied. Therefore, the second paragraph of Article 1034 of the Civil Code stipulates: "Private information in personal information shall be subject to the provisions on privacy; If there is no provision, the provisions on the protection of personal information shall apply. " However, there are obvious differences between privacy and personal information protection.

  1. The strength of legal protection varies with the nature of rights and interests. As a specific personality right, privacy right belongs to absolute right and domination right in nature, and has the effect on the world. Any organization or individual must respect the right to privacy and shall not infringe upon or hinder it. Personal information rights and interests are not specific personality rights, let alone absolute rights and control rights, but only personality interests protected by law. This difference in nature determines that there are the following differences in the intensity and density of protection: (1) Whether the prohibition system of personality right protection is applicable is different. When the right of privacy is infringed, the obligee can apply the prohibition system of personality right stipulated in Article 997 of the Civil Code. However, when personal information is infringed, it cannot be applied. (2) Whether the fair use system is applicable is different. Although there are restrictions on the right to privacy, there is no reasonable use of the right to privacy. Because the right to privacy is very important to the personal dignity of natural persons. The protection of personal information must coordinate the relationship between the protection of natural person’s rights and interests and the free and reasonable use of information. Therefore, according to Article 999 of the Civil Code, those who conduct news reporting and supervision by public opinion for the public interest can use personal information reasonably. At the same time, Article 1036 also specifically stipulates the exemption reasons for infringing personal information. None of these provisions apply to the right to privacy. (3) The legal rank of whether exceptions can be stipulated is different. According to Article 1033 of the Civil Code, the exception for infringement of privacy can only be made by "law"; According to the first paragraph of Article 1035, "laws and administrative regulations"You can make other provisions on whether it is necessary to obtain the consent of a natural person or his guardian to handle personal information.

  2. Whether it can be used by others is different in commercial utilization. Privacy holders can dispose of their rights by themselves, such as disclosing their private information on the Internet or to the media, but privacy cannot be licensed to others. Because the right to privacy is mainly a passive defense function, it does not have the power to actively use it. Permission to use privacy will violate the mandatory provisions of laws and administrative regulations or the consequences of public order and good customs. Personal information can be used by others.

  3. The rules for handling personal information are different. According to the fifth item of Article 1033 of the Civil Code, dealing with other people’s private information is either with the "explicit consent" of the privacy holder or according to the law, otherwise, any organization or individual’s behavior of dealing with other people’s private information constitutes an infringement of privacy. However, according to Article 1035 of the Civil Code, personal information dealing with non-confidential information is either in accordance with the provisions of laws and administrative regulations or with the "consent" of the natural person or his guardian. It can be seen that there are two differences in the rules for handling private information and non-private personal information in the Civil Code: First, the consent of the obligee must be obtained for handling private information, while the consent of the natural person or his guardian can be obtained for handling non-private personal information. In other words, the guardian can’t agree with others to handle the private information of the ward without authorization. This is because privacy is more significant to the obligee. Secondly, it is necessary to obtain the "explicit consent" of the obligee when dealing with private information, while it is necessary to obtain the consent of the natural person or his guardian when dealing with non-private personal information. Explicit consent means that the natural person should not only express his consent in accordance with the law, but also express his intention to deal with the private information separately. Consent is not required to be a separate consent, nor is it required to be made only for the specific personal information being processed, but it can be a general consent.

It costs $15,000 to stay in a blank room for one night? The most expensive hotel in new york is like this.

  Original title: It costs $15,000 to stay in a blank room for one night, and the stars are still snapping it up. What are the rich thinking?

  Author: MISS

  This is the most expensive hotel in new york, but the decoration looks so "poor"? There is a hotel in Greenwich Street, new york. Its red brick wall looks just like the surrounding buildings, but it is besieged by paparazzi all the year round. Obama raised more than 500,000 US dollars for the election here, and Beyonce, Taylor Swift, Tom Cruise, Blake Lively, jennifer lopez and other big-name stars regard this place as their second home.

  Greenwich Hotel is a member of Liding World. It is not only expensive, but also quite different from the general Lidingshi Hotel. The top suite in the hotel is almost a embryo room, which not only costs 15 thousand dollars a night, but also is difficult to book all the year round. Generally, people who can live in this room are not small players.

  This blank room is called TriBeCa loft suite. To say its greatest achievement, it should be that it has set off a wave of silence. After Mr. Kanye and kim kardashian lived together, they invited a co-designer to spend $20 million to renovate their luxurious house into a plain cement house, which is simpler than minimalism and colder than sexual indifference.

  Contemporary people’s aesthetics began to pay attention to removing complexity and simplifying, and now it has become the mainstream to follow the aesthetic culture of "at the beginning of everything, the road is simple".

  This room tells you what "the worse you get, the richer you get"

  This suite is on the top floor of the hotel, with an area of about 632 square meters, of which 260 square meters is indoor and 372 square meters is outdoor space. There are three bedrooms, two bathrooms, living room, kitchen and fireplace. There are two outdoor open-air gardens, a barbecue area and a warm water spa pool.

  Deep to light gray, brown and white are the keynote colors of the whole space, and the clean layout provides a display position for a large number of artworks. This is not so much a guest room as an exhibition hall. Most furniture and works of art are antiques collected by designers from all over the world, and the cheapest piece of art is worth 3 thousand dollars.

  The wind of silence is a Zen concept, which holds that true beauty is defective, incomplete and temporary, and will disappear like life. Poor things, such as a table with rough workmanship or a happy-burning tea bowl, reflect this concept.

  Stone, old wood, ceramics, linen products and rattan products, which are more simple and return to the original state, are common elements in the lonely wind. The seemingly random stone fireplace is actually carved with reference to the architectural structure of the Louvre. The iron grate is made of joist hangers used in the original structure of the Louvre Museum.

  From the ceiling, beams to doors, to corridor panels, the wood in the whole hotel can be traced back to various periods. The boards on the ceiling are remnants of the civil war that were salvaged from the nearby farmers’ market. The wood of the headboard was originally a walnut desktop in the 19th century.

  Bathtubs and double basin sinks are made of stone sinks in the 17th century. On the outer layer, you can see the traces left by the weathering of stones over time, while the interior is smoothed. Therefore, the real lonely wind is not just posed casually with these elements, but is actually quite particular about selection and design.

  In addition to works of art that have a history, designers will deliberately make old ones. He ordered some furniture, the most special one being the bronze handle. It was cast according to the grip marks on his hand, leaving a personal mark unconsciously.

  Walking out, it is a private double-deck terrace with a special roof, overlooking the Hudson River from the lush garden. Copper gourd chandelier is hung on the pergola frame surrounded by wisteria, which is reconstructed from the original copper roof material of the building.

  There is also an outdoor wood-burning fireplace in the garden, which can accommodate 18 people.

  There are countless luxury hotels in new york, but it’s easy to find one with a swimming pool. Greenwich Hotel is one of them. The swimming pool also overflows with silent aesthetics. It is surrounded by a fence of a 250-year-old Japanese farmhouse. The farmhouse was assembled by a Japanese craftsman. No nail was used in the whole process, but it was fixed by ancient knotting techniques. Now there are only three people left in Japan who know this knot-tying technique. Retaining time and remembering the past is a feeling that can often be felt in the aesthetics of silence.

  Indulge in the highest realm of old things

  This suite makes the rich fall in love with the lonely wind and makes the designer more known. He is Axel Vervoordt, the great god of interior design in Belgium. As mentioned earlier, the designer who renovated Kanye’s mansion is him. Before providing design solutions for the rich, he also rebuilt a 16th century castle and a dilapidated brewery.

  However, whenever labeling him, he is reluctant to admit that he is a designer, but prefers to call himself a collector and curator. At the age of 21, he bought a surrealist painter rene magritte’s painting La mémoire in 1948 for $2,400, and later sold it at a high price of $50,000. Since then, he has been active in the field of art purchase and collection with a unique aesthetic vision, and his love and interest have become a lifelong career.

The man in the black hat  
Memory  

  Vervoordt fell in love with it when he was collecting antique furniture in Asia in the 1970s, and since then it has been vigorously promoted in the West.

  For this kind of purism, Vervoordt prefers to define his own style as "rural minimalism". He opposes too many useless pretenses, removes the redundant parts and keeps the most essential ones.

  At that time, the hotel owner invited Axel Vervoordt to design this top loft suite immediately after seeing Wabi Inspirations written by him.

  Oscar winner+hotel madman+senior diners = Robert De Niro

  The recent popularity of The Irishman has brought Robert De Niro, the best actor, back into our sight. He also has an identity-a real hotel madman. Yes, the Greenwich Hotel is his.

  Before the establishment of Greenwich Hotel, as a veteran diner, he found Michelin chef Matsuhisa Shinsuke, and the two hit it off and founded the brand NOBU, which integrates food and hotels, and now there are ten in the world.

  Recently, they opened a resort hotel Nobu Hotel Los Cabos in Mexico. MISS introduced it just a week ago. Friends who want to try NOBU restaurant can go to JW Marriott Hotel in Beijing first, which has the only NOBU restaurant in China at present.

Nobu Hotel Los Cabos  

  The old man’s love for the hotel can be said to be passionate. After the operation of Greenwich Hotel, he announced that he would open The Wellington Hotel in Covent Garden, London, with 83 rooms, a spa and two restaurants. It was originally planned to start construction in 2017 and open in 2019 if approved by the government.

  It will also open a 2373-acre resort in Antigua and Barbuda, a Central American island country between the Caribbean and the Atlantic Ocean, and build 77 water houses, a spa and four restaurants.

The Wellington Hotel  

  However, among these hotels, the Greenwich Hotel is the one that De Niro put the most effort into. Tribeca 10013, where the hotel is located, was once the most expensive postal area in the United States. De Niro’s love for this neighborhood has accumulated for a long time. First, he opened a restaurant here, The Tribeca Grill, then he opened his own film production company next door and finally opened the Greenwich Hotel.

  De Niro was born into an artist’s family in new york. His parents divorced at the age of two, and he lived with his mother in Greenwich Village. There are many paintings in the public area of the hotel belonging to De Niro’s father. It can be said that this hotel has many spiritual sustenance for him.

  The basic room type also starts from 5780 yuan.

  Greenwich Hotel has 88 rooms and suites, but each room is different.

  Not to mention the Tribeca loft suite with a price of $15,000 a night, the basic room type is RMB 5,780. It’s not cheap to carry a piece of furniture alone, such as beds of Swedish royal brand Duxiana, hand-woven Tibetan silk carpets and British leather benches.

  There are also many attractions in public areas. The songkhla and marble floor in the lobby were inspired by the 14th century Italian palace. An Italian family business copied this style and molded each tile by hand.

  In honor of his father, De Niro decorated his abstract paintings in the hotel.

  The Locanda Verde restaurant serves Italian food all day. The ceiling is made of 90,000 corks collected by the Canadian Girl Guides and a stone named Goshen Schist, which has a history of more than 400 million years and can only be found in two quarries in Massachusetts and Peru.

  Architecturally, the hotel is just around the corner of the street, but De Niro hopes that the corner can be slightly rounded. So he asked David Rockwell to customize a double-decker window, which smoothed out the sharpness. Make this corner also a punch point.

How to find aliens? Four Highlights of Cosmic Exploration Editorial Department to Reveal the Secret


1905 movie network news "The universe is infinite, and the messenger has traces" is officially launched. Tang Zhijun, the editor-in-chief of "Shendao", Qin Cairong, Sun Yitong, a "weird" poet, and Xiaoxiao, an alien fanatic, are assembled, and the journey to find alien life will start on the same day. The film was officially released nationwide on April 1st. On the first day of its release, the film won the audience’s favor with its overwhelming reputation. This film, called "Broadening the Boundaries of China’s Science Fiction Films", has attracted the attention and recognition of all parties. "This film is a love letter for the explorer", "Exploring the universe is the reflection of exploring life, which is a treasure-class film" and "The film is absurd but profound, and after laughing, it begins to seriously think about the meaning of life".


On April 1st, the Editorial Department of Space Exploration also released the "astronaut" notice, which spanned two eras. The young Tang Zhijun was full of energy and believed in the truth that aliens must exist. Tang Zhijun, who is over half a century old, fell from the sky with the help of a crane in a spacesuit, adding a sense of absurdity. Where does this dramatic spacesuit end up? Full of suspense.

Aspect 1: the hilarious journey is absurd science fiction! A rugged journey in search of aliens


Have you ever seen aliens? Do you know where I can find aliens? Do you know how to communicate with aliens? The film "Space Exploration Editorial Department" may be able to answer your questions about alien life. The film "Cosmic Exploration Editorial Department" tells an absurd story about the earth people and aliens running thousands of miles away. Tang Zhijun, editor-in-chief of Cosmic Exploration Editorial Department, is down and out, but he believes in the existence of alien life and has been obsessed with finding extraterrestrial civilization for decades. Finally, one day, he received an abnormal signal that was suspected to come from the depths of the universe, so he called we are both unhappy — to the sky’s end’s partners, and once again set foot on the journey of finding aliens with that problem that puzzled him all his life. Mysterious signal from alien civilization? Villagers freeze aliens in their own freezers? Waiting for a bird in the countryside farmland? A "psycho" group party? Tang Zhijun, editor-in-chief of Shendao, Qin Cairong, Sun Yitong, a strange poet, and Xiaoxiao, an alien fanatic, all kinds of strange and cocoa-loving characters appeared one after another, and all kinds of funny plots made people laugh.


With science fiction as the core and comedy as the shell, the film presents a southwest adventure without losing truth in absurdity and truth in fantasy. As a "divine film", the director set a unique style of "serious nonsense" at the beginning of his creation: "The story was inspired by a social news that villagers found wild aliens frozen in their refrigerators, and was moved by the sense of humor conveyed by the news, which was right in their own bad taste." At the same time, the film is full of retro trends in the 1980s and 1990s. In that era full of strange ideas, together with elements such as Qigong fever and UFO fever, it is humorous and wonderful. The story of the film itself has a deep connection with The Journey to the West. Director Kong Dashan once revealed: "From the stage of script creation, it was deliberately done, and a certain spiritual core of the ancient mythical novel The Journey to the West was interpreted from a modern perspective. The story of the film is similar to that of The Journey to the West, and it is all about a person who has great ambitions, takes his partner and embarks on a journey to find answers. The audience can understand it as a story of contemporary The Journey to the West."


Aspect 2: Seek the answer and explore the heart! Absurd but warm and healing tear emotional core


Behind the stars is the universe of more than 10 billion years, and behind the journey is a dusty past. Like "learning from the West", a group of people in the editorial department of Space Exploration experienced all kinds of difficulties and obstacles in their journey to find aliens, but at the end of the journey, they made the audience laugh and cry. From the search for aliens to the search for the meaning of life, what seems absurd in Cosmic Exploration Editorial Department is the thinking about "love". No matter how grand the universe is, it is ultimately the love between people, whether it is the miss of editor-in-chief Tang for his daughter or the companionship of his companions on the road together, it is the embodiment of love. Director Kong Dashan said: "We are human beings, and we can only explore the universe with our limited ability. We can’t know what the end of the universe looks like, and only emotions can explain everything that can’t be explained." As many viewers said to the main creator: "The film touches the emotional core with a small view. On the surface, it is a sci-fi film full of whimsy. The core is to show the relationship between people. This is a film about love."


The film "Cosmic Exploration Editorial Department" aims at the countryside with a plain lens, focusing on ordinary people, making the vast universe no longer unattainable, using various expressions close to life to show sci-fi elements, and also making every audience feel when ordinary people enter the universe and enter the unknown world. This plot of standing in the field and looking up at the stars makes the audience feel more substituted. As the audience said, "It lightly depicts some joy and some heaviness, but it will also leave ripples in your heart. The film is far away from the high technology of the city. In the dusty countryside and the fields with infinite scenery, it tells the eternal yearning and pursuit of a group of people for the universe, civilization and science. " The film "Cosmic Exploration Editorial Department" puts such a grand topic of the universe around each of us, which is even more shocking and makes everyone dare to dream and explore.


Aspect 3: Top with super quality team! Core creative team escort


The film "Cosmic Exploration Editorial Department" went through a four-year production cycle, in which two years were carefully polished by screenwriters Kong Dashan and Wang Yitong, and two years were spent shooting and producing. As a young director’s first feature film, Kong Dashan was escorted by the core creative team of science fiction film The Wandering Earth series. The director of The Wandering Earth’s series of films and the director affectionately called "Ball Dad" by fans jointly acted as the producer of the film "Cosmic Exploration Editorial Department", and joined the behind-the-scenes team from the stage of film script creation, deeply participating in it and giving away their accumulated film creation experience. In addition, the producer of The Wandering Earth series continues to be the producer in "Small Universe", and the core special effects companies of The Wandering Earth series, MORE VFX and Orange Vision, also join in the escort for the special effects of the film, striving to present a visual scene with texture in the film.


"Cosmic Exploration Editorial Department explored another possibility of China’s science fiction" Director Frant Gwo once commented on the film. Unlike the grand visual sci-fi genre film, Cosmic Exploration Editorial Department explored inward and explored the relationship between people and the world and life. As director Frant Gwo commented on the film: "The most attractive thing about the film is that everyone will gain different feelings, and everyone is Tang Zhijun in the film." Thanks to the support of his predecessors, director Kong Dashan was also grateful. He also revealed a secret of the film: "The spacesuit in the movie is the one worn by teacher The Wandering Earth. Thank you very much for the free loan from director Frant Gwo."


Aspect 4: the annual masterpiece is a high-scoring film! Multi-platform word-of-mouth leads the way to make friends at the end of the universe


In 2019, the script of "Cosmic Exploration Editorial Department" won the "Best Original Script Award" from China Science Fiction Conference Science Fiction Film Venture Capital Association. Once the project was launched, it attracted wide attention in the industry. In 2021, "Cosmic Exploration Editorial Department" showed its true meaning for the first time at Pingyao International Film Festival, and gained a lot of praise and audience expectations on major platforms in China. At present, Douban scored 8.7, and won four awards in the 5th Pingyao International Film Festival, namely, Fei Mu Honored Best Film, the most popular film of Hidden Dragon Unit, Youth Jury Honor and Fans Choice Honor. Won the Best Actress Award in the 46th Hong Kong International Film Festival Rookie Film Competition and the Firebird Film Award; Won the 12th Beijing International Film Festival "Focus on the Future" and hope to be the most watched actor award and the most watched film award; Short-listed for the future light award of the 51st Rotterdam International Film Festival. In the face of this "legendary" high-scoring film, many fans shouted "too much expectation". At the scene of the film’s national roadshow, many viewers came here and collectively certified that they were "really not disappointed". After the screening of the film, Director Kong Dashan also expressed his anxiety: "I call such a strange film a folk science fiction, and I hope it doesn’t disappoint the audience." Fortunately, the high reputation along the way has laid a solid booster for the film creative team.Director Kong Dashan also described the film as an "electric wave system" type film: "Because I made this film, I met many strange friends who loved cocoa, because the electric waves connected everyone."


After watching the movie, many viewers expressed their excitement that they were moved by the film and gained their feelings: "The film gave me great surprises, which not only expressed people’s persistence in chasing dreams, but also deeply analyzed the future and thinking about life of mankind, which is worth calming down and savoring slowly." There are also viewers who find "self" through the film: "After watching the film, I feel relieved, as if some small things in my life have entangled me, which makes me stop obsessing and make me feel that the world is still beautiful." At the scene, there were two brushes and the audience shouted "There are still three brushes": "This is a film about’ looking for’, which is about each of us. Maybe the answer you get in the end is not important. What is important is that we gain insights during the search. " The film Cosmic Exploration Editorial Department has created more possibilities for China’s sci-fi movies with its bold and distinctive visual style, humorous plot, warm and profound emotional core and rich and detached imagination.


The film "Cosmic Exploration Editorial Department" was produced by Wang Hongwei and Frant Gwo, directed by Kong Dashan, starring Wang Yitong, Jiang Qiming and Sheng Chenchen. At present, the film is being shown in the country.



563 days from birth to abortion: What did Apple AirPower experience?

I have to say that Apple has set a Flag for two years. After nearly two years of waiting, AirPower officially announced abortion.

As Apple’s first wireless charger, AirPower was released with iPhone X on September 13, 2017, Beijing time; On March 30, 2019, Apple officially announced the cancellation of AirPower because it could not meet Apple’s high hardware standards.

Ending a released product before it is released is unprecedented in Apple’s history.

1. Apple announced the cancellation of the AirPower project.

563 days from birth to abortion: What did Apple AirPower experience?

On March 30, 2019, Beijing time, Apple officially cancelled the AirPower wireless charging pillow project today. As for the reason, Apple saidCan not meet its high standards for hardware products.

563 days from birth to abortion: What did Apple AirPower experience?

Dan Riccio, Apple’s senior vice president of hardware engineering, mentioned in the statement: "After hard work, we came to the conclusion that AirPower could not meet our high standards, so we cancelled the project. We apologize to those users who are looking forward to the release of AirPower. We still firmly believe that the future is wireless and are committed to pushing the wireless experience forward. "

In September 2017, Apple released the AirPower charging pillow with iPhone X, describing an innovative accessory that can wirelessly charge three Apple products at the same time, which was widely expected after the release.

However, it has not been officially released for nearly two years, and there are rumors that Apple has encountered technical problems that cannot be overcome, which has blocked its listing.

But there are also rumors that bring some hope to fans, and users still don’t want to see the project completely end.

Second, why did AirPower cancel?

Although Apple said that the reason for the cancellation was that AirPower could not meet their high standards, as for the exact reason, as early as September 2018, it was reported that AirPower would have a difficult delivery.

The first news broke out was Sonny Dickson, who said on September 17, 2018 that there were three major problems in the production of AirPower from some Apple insiders, which made the product unable to go on the market as scheduled, and it would be delayed or even abandoned.

563 days from birth to abortion: What did Apple AirPower experience?

1. Overheating management problem: At present, AirPower generates too much heat, which reduces the charging rate. As the heat is transferred to the charging device during charging, it affects the charging, and at the same time, the heat will affect the internal charging chip using the "reduced iOS version", making some of its functions invalid.

2. Whether in software or hardware, the docking between AirPower and different devices is still not stable, especially when docking with Apple Watch and AirPod, there will be problems when transmitting charging data to iPhone.

3. The part responsible for wireless charging of AirPower consists of 21 to 24 induction coils. In order to charge at most three groups of products at the same time, AirPower has to divide the induction coils into three groups, which seems to be good in design, but it is quite complicated when the real production starts.

3. In the 563 days from birth to abortion, what did AirPower experience?

February 2017: Apple officially joined WPC wireless power consortium.

Regarding why we joined WPC wireless power consortium, an Apple spokesman responded to this matter: Apple is a member of many industry development organizations, and as the leader and contributor of these organizations, Apple actively participates in the activities of these organizations.

Apple’s participation in wireless power consortium is intended to participate in the open cooperative development of future wireless charging standards and provide more ideas for the development of wireless charging standards. We are very much looking forward to its cooperation with WPC and other members of the alliance.

In addition, WPC also responded to Apple’s accession to the alliance: the companies that occupy the largest market in the mobile phone market are now members of WPC, and they will actively participate in the discussion of wireless charging standards. In the past year, we have seen that Qi has become the de facto standard for wireless charging. This year, we expect the whole ecosystem to have a stronger development momentum.

On March 30, 2019, Beijing time, Dan Riccio, vice president of Apple’s senior hardware engineering department, sent an email to inform the media that the AirPower project had been officially terminated because the products could not meet Apple’s high quality standards, so he decided to cancel the project.

summary

AirPower is gone, but the innovation pace of Shenzhen manufacturers continues.

For example, the dual-device wireless charging mentioned earlier, which came out the first time after the release of AirPower, supports dual-device wireless charging in fixed position with dual coils. Later, there was even a production version of the five-coil wireless charging, which supported free position and dual-device charging. It could charge iPhone+AirPods or two mobile phones wirelessly at the same time, and the actual experience was close to AirPower.

As Apple said, we still firmly believe that the future belongs to wireless.

[Competitors are BYD Surui, Great Wall C50, Emgrand EC7 and Changan Yidong]

 

    Comparatively speaking, among these rivals, BYD Speedy and Great Wall C50 are equipped with 1.5T engines. In addition, Speedy also has remote control function and DCT dual clutch, which makes the brand-new Familia M5 not dominant in technology. However, Familia M5 still has certain advantages in CVT gearbox of Emgrand EC7 and 5MT of Great Wall C50. In the future, the arrival of Familia M5 1.5T model will widen this advantage and become one of the more powerful competitive models among the A+ class models of its own brand.

    Editor’s comment:With the continuous expansion of Haima’s product line, Familia, once a "pillar" model, may no longer be the biggest support for Haima’s annual sales data. However, with the continuous progress and strengthening of the product itself, the promotion of its market competitiveness still gives the new generation Familia M5 a brand-new historical mission. It is only a transition from maturity to success, and it still needs to stand the test of the market.

The battery life is over 2208km! Roewe D7 DMH World Champion Edition goes on sale.

On November 8, the DMH World Champion Edition was officially launched, and three new models were launched, with a guide price of 123,800-143,800 yuan. In addition, the new car has launched a "bite price", with a discount of 24,000 yuan to 99,800 yuan. After the World Champion Edition was added, the number of models on sale of Roewe D7 DMH increased to 6, with the guide price range of 123,800-145,800 yuan.

It is worth mentioning that the name of "World Champion Edition" comes from the fact that Roewe D7 DMH conducted a battery life measurement not long ago. The car successfully broke the Guinness World Record with a maximum distance of 2208.719km and an average fuel consumption as low as 2.49L per 100 km, and became the "car with the longest distance of driving with full fuel and electricity at a single time".

Despite the halo blessing of "world champion", the market performance of Roewe D7 DMH is not bright. In October, the sales volume was 2,227, ranking 90th on the car sales list. When the new car went on the market, Roewe D7 DMH was directly named after the "World Champion Edition", hoping to boost its market sales.

As an extended version, Roewe D7 DMH World Champion Edition has not been greatly adjusted in appearance, interior and configuration, but some details have been refreshed. In terms of appearance, the new car is equipped with a new style of wheels, which adds a bit of movement to the whole car. In addition, the new car has added the color of "Dawn Gold" to provide users with more choices.

In terms of size, Roewe D7 DMH World Champion Edition locates medium-sized cars, with body length, width and height of 4890/1890/1510mm, wheelbase of 2810mm and trunk volume of 450L. This size provides users with a spacious ride space, but the price of less than 100 thousand yuan has greatly improved its cost performance, which can be said to be the price of B-class cars only selling A-class cars.

In the interior part, the diamond texture of the middle and high models is changed to parallel lines, which is visually more simple, but does not lose the sense of fashion. In terms of configuration, Roewe D7 DMH World Champion Edition is equipped with a 12.3-inch central control touch screen and LCD instrument, which has the functions of voice control, continuous voice recognition, car networking, 4G WIFI, car KTV and so on. The high-equipped models provide L2-level automatic driving assistance.

In terms of power, Roewe D7 DMH adopts DMH system, equipped with 1.5L naturally aspirated engine and motor. The maximum power of the 1.5L engine is 82kW, and the maximum power of the motor is 137kW. The transmission system is matched with the first-speed DHT gearbox. The CLTC has a pure electric cruising range of 125km, a comprehensive cruising range of 1400km, and the lowest fuel consumption of WLTC is 3.95L/100km.

Comments: As an old-fashioned traditional car company in China, Roewe’s electrification transformation is still relatively positive. At present, a number of pure electric and DMH hybrid models have been launched, including the Roewe D7 DMH World Champion Edition, which was redesigned and listed this time. Although the listing of the new car has not changed much, the starting price of less than 100 thousand yuan is still sincere, which is a good choice for users who pursue practicality and long battery life.

Qilu New Year’s Customs Rise and Fall: What do you pay attention to when you string relatives in Shandong for the New Year?


  Jinan

  On the second day of the lunar new year, you must bring gifts to your parents’ home. According to the old rules, these gifts are a knife of meat (not less than four or five kilograms), two fish (fresh carp, each fish must weigh more than one kilogram, also known as "fish"), three bottles of white wine and four kilograms of snacks (egg cake, longevity cake, peach cake and ancient philosophers cake). These gifts are collectively referred to as "four-color gifts", which contain the four seasons of the year.

  Qingdao

  Visiting relatives from the first day of the first month. In Qingdao, "pro" and "qi" are strictly separated. On New Year’s Day, it is for important people and elders to pay New Year greetings. In the past, it was necessary to kowtow to elders, but now it is not very particular. Generally, it is just to bow and ask "Happy New Year", but aunts and cousins are not allowed to walk around on this day. On the second day of the second month, I pay a New Year call to my grandmother, when my grandmother is away, my son-in-law pays a New Year call to my mother-in-law, and on the fourth day, my unmarried but engaged daughter-in-law pays a New Year call to my future in-laws. From the fifth day of the first month, it is the day to walk around my aunts and cousins.

  Visiting relatives and bringing gifts is called "making a basket" in Qingdao dialect, because in the past, visiting relatives used bamboo baskets that were brushed with clear oil and woven with thin bamboo strips. As for what to put in it, there is nothing special about it. Just put whatever you have at home, one or two bottles of Jimo old wine, two Bao Qing biscuits and a few apples, and that’s all. Anyway, relatives will only come up with one or two, and then press one or two back for a change, so as not to let the empty basket go back.

  Zibo

  When they return to their parents’ home, the girls will put the steamed bun as a basic gift into a basket, and then put four packets of snacks wrapped in red paper at the four corners of the basket, and then insert them with several sesame cakes. In this way, because the baked wheat cake is much higher than the rice basket after it is inserted empty, when the rice basket is finally covered with red bags, it looks like both festive gifts and many gifts. It indicates that the small days are full of prosperity and beauty.

  When a daughter brings a gift to her parents, parents usually don’t return it. Parents will not accept all the gifts from their daughters, but leave them at the bottom of the basket, which means that they can’t let their daughters go home empty-handed.

  Weifang

  In the old days, people usually brought steamed bread, cakes, meat or two pounds of big fruit (fried dough sticks), and even better, two pounds of snacks and two pounds of loose wine. When the daughter goes back to her parents’ home, she brings a handkerchief (a general name for gifts in Weifang), in addition to snacks and wine, many also bring a white scaly fish that is "pressed in the pot" on New Year’s Eve (two white scaly fish and two tofu are put in the cooking pot on New Year’s Eve).

  Yantai

  String relatives, Yantai dialect is called "going out". In Yantai, the most distinctive "going out" gift for the Spring Festival is a kind of pasta called "Bobo". Every year after the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month (that is, off-year), every family will make many "cakes". Flour needs to be kneaded many times to make it into the shape of a bird’s head and a big round body, which is called "milk cake"; Or make it into a round shape, with cut red dates all over it, which is called "jujube cake".

  Weihai

  Visiting relatives and friends during the Chinese New Year is usually from the second day to the fifth and sixth day, and can be extended to the fifteenth at the latest. There used to be such a jingle: "Pay homage to the fifth and sixth day of the New Year, and there is no cake and no meat." That means life is not good. If you are poor, you won’t have anything to eat on the fifth and sixth day. It doesn’t mean that you can’t visit relatives on the fifth and sixth day. Gifts brought by visiting relatives and friends are usually four cakes and a package of peach cakes. If the other person is an elder or an important relative, he will also bring a bottle of wine.

  Tai ‘ an

  On the second day of the second day, the new son-in-law will bring six big gifts to her in-laws’ families, and the six big gifts must be enough. There are two cocks, two fish, two bottles of wine, a back elbow and a pack of vermicelli. There is also a saying called "new three years and old three years", which means that the son-in-law who has been married for less than three years should prepare the same gift every year when he goes to his father-in-law’s house. The latter three years can be a little worse, and he can’t be casual until six years later.

  Laiwu

  Generally, when visiting relatives to give gifts, you should carry a basket with a dozen white-flour steamed buns and rice cakes and zongzi made by yourself. The rice cake is made like a pagoda, divided into nine layers, and each layer will be pressed with a circle of red dates. After the rice cake is steamed, the thorns of red dates are outside, bulging, and some have cracked their mouths, which looks really cute.

  Heze

  Generally, we go to friends’ homes, mostly before the Spring Festival, while we go to relatives’ homes, which is after the New Year. No matter where you visit, you should avoid the afternoon. Many people think it is unlucky to visit friends in the afternoon. Since you are visiting relatives and friends on holidays, you can’t go empty-handed. You always have to bring some gifts. During the Spring Festival, the most common gifts are tobacco, alcohol, sugar, tea, cakes and fruits, and some buy clothes for children of relatives and friends, and they will not forget to give them a lucky money.

  Linyi

  In Linyi, visiting relatives and friends in the New Year is called "going out". When you go out, you should bring some gifts. In the early 1980s, the gifts you brought were nothing more than steamed buns, vegetable bags, bean bags, vermicelli, etc. If the family conditions were good, you should put one or two carp, one or two packs of biscuits or peach cakes, and weigh one catty of sugar for the elderly.

  Zaozhuang 

  People often carry gifts to string relatives before the festival, which is called "send-off gift", and after the festival, it is a pure New Year greeting. There are no special rules about gifts, but the quantity must be an even number to show good luck. The main family will return some specialties such as vermicelli and vermicelli.

  Texas

  There is nothing special about visiting relatives to give gifts during the New Year in Texas. In the past, when the living standard was not high, the "bun basket" was the most important gift. Even when the daughter with the worst living standard goes back to her mother’s house, she should put the steamed white steamed buns, fried fruits and other foods in the basket, cover it with a clean towel on the belly of the sheep, and bring two packs of avocados (snacks) with her if she is a little better.

  Liaocheng

  In the past, the living conditions were not good, and the gifts given by my parents were nothing more than snacks and steamed bread, and some sugar, wine and fruit. Later, with the improvement of living standards, it was fashionable to give four-color gifts, namely wine, chicken, fish and meat, all of which must be in even numbers. Only half of the family’s things were kept and the other half was returned. In return, the bride’s family wants to send jujube flower cakes, which are quite large and silver-basin-like, which means step by step (cakes) every year. You should bring such a generous gift three years before you get married, and then you will be free.

  Binzhou

  In the old days, when I went back to my mother’s house, I usually brought her two Jin of steamed bread (with red dots on the steamed bread) and two Jin of dried noodles. If the family conditions were good, I would buy another Jin of cakes, put them in a basket woven with plastic strips and cover them with cloth. When she comes back, her mother’s family will leave half of what she has taken and bring the rest back by herself. This is called "leaving a leftover head". Visiting relatives is also sending steamed bread and noodles.
