"Love Around the Corner," starring Jiang Wenli and Ming Dao, has just begun airing on Oriental TV. The drama tells the story of a divorced urban man and woman with a baby who accidentally move into the same new house, gradually develop love through getting along day and night, and finally reorganize the family to find happiness.

The actual filming time of this drama was actually in 2016, seven years ago. At that time, Jiang Wenli was 49 years old and Ming Dao was 36 years old. Now, seven years have passed.

Some ridiculed the play as the first generation of Tai Tsing Yi’s oblivion idol drama; some complained that they felt like sons-in-law and mothers-in-law; some were more able to play, and a new term was born directly: milk uncle love.

No matter how the plot is interpreted, whether the acting skills of the two actors are qualified or not, because only a few episodes have been broadcast so far, and everyone cannot make a complete judgment on their next.

Besides, even if you don’t watch the drama, everyone can think that a modern urban drama that has been suppressed for seven years has long been out of touch with the current era and society, and there is nothing that can resonate with everyone. Therefore, in terms of plot content, this drama has been eliminated from this track.

What makes people even more difficult to accept and watch is the male and female protagonists who are not in the same dimensional wall, namely Jiang Wenli and Ming Dao.

When we talk about Jiang Wenli, we can blurt out many classic dramas, such as "The Little Woman Under the Gate of the Sun", "Happiness Knocks on the Door", "See You in Heaven", "Golden Wedding", "The Door of the Great House" and so on. She has also won round after round of awards for domestic TV dramas. Therefore, she has always stood in the first echelon of domestic big green clothes.

Look at Ming Dao over there, it’s the famous domineering CEO ceiling. In his BGM, no one can beat him. It’s been almost 20 years since "Prince Becomes a Frog" aired, and no other male star’s appearance can overshadow his momentum.

Overall, the two of them still had good acting skills. Moreover, there were so many representative works, and most netizens still had some filters for these two actors. Why did the two of them cooperate in a drama, but everyone rejected it so much? Not only did they reject it, but everyone also took stock of many siblings who were going to meet everyone in the next movie and television dramas, expressing fear for the latter.

Is Jiang Wenli looking too old? I’m afraid I can’t agree with this. Jiang Wenli is definitely not a woman of nearly 60 years old among actors of the same age. She is well maintained, has a unique temperament, and has no words about her figure.

However, everyone felt that they were incompatible. Thinking about it from another angle, there were countless romantic dramas similar to the 13-year gap between male and female actors. In a drama, there were male actors who were more than 10 years older than the female lead.

This was not the case for Yan Chengxu, who had become popular due to "Summer Flower" during this period of time. If he had worked harder back then, he could have been the father of this heroine. However, people like them started acting in idol dramas in their 20s and continued to act until they were in their 40s.

The disturbing thing was that Zhang Jiayi, Wang Xiaocheng, Li Yitong, and Chen Jianbin, the latter pair’s co-starring "Love Me, Don’t Think Too Much" was particularly famous. No matter who saw the moving picture of Chen Jianbin holding Li Yitong’s cheek and kissing him, they would feel both physical and psychological discomfort.

Strangely enough, the most common complaint was not that Chen Jianbin was not suitable for a romantic drama, but rather that Li Yitong and He De had such good resources to cooperate with Chen Jianbin? A beautiful actress in the prime of her life dedicated her youth to kissing a man 20 years older than her. In the end, it was outrageous for everyone to laugh at her.

The perspective is on Jiang Wenli and Ming Dao. The matching of this actor who is now ridiculed by Uncle Niu is ultimately because the current market is not friendly to female characters. Combined with the inventory of the past, we have left too many stereotypes and fixed labels on Jiang Wenli: daughter-in-law, little woman, big woman, hard-working woman, all set in the background of the era drama.

So, in the real modern urban drama, no screenwriter has provided a good model for what women of this age are doing. Most of them are mothers-in-law, so if they want to completely reverse the situation and create an innovation, the screenwriters will become nondescript if they make a big deal.

It can be seen that Jiang Wenli chose this drama to challenge and break through herself. However, the domestic script obviously did not prepare this springboard.

What is the most popular drink among Shanghai residents this summer? Which restaurants are the most popular when you go out to eat? Not Internet celebrities, not rookies, but many "old faces" and "time-honored brands". According to the results of online buying and auditions released by some Internet platforms recently, affordable food and catering are still the favorites of the market.

The Shanghainese drank 4 million bottle of salt soda

?

"I never expected that salt soda water is so popular in Shanghai, and its sales are higher than Coke." Li Yao is the person in charge of the operation of Tmall Supermarket in East China. Choosing the right goods for the supermarket is one of her daily jobs. Since entering the summer, she has found that salt soda water has quietly become popular on the platform, selling 5 million bottles in half a month, more than Coke, and becoming the sales champion of carbonated beverages; what surprises her even more is that, "After pulling the background data, I found that 80% of them were bought by Shanghai netizens."

?

"My parents are both employees of state-owned enterprises. When I was a child, every summer, there was salt soda water in the high-temperature benefits issued by the factory. At first, it was produced by the factory and filled in beer bottles, and then bottled, ‘Yanzhong’ brand." Liu Cheng is a "Shanghai boy" born in the 1980s. He still remembers the old taste of summer, and he found that the old taste of salt soda water has not disappeared these years, but has a new taste: "Now there are lemon flavors, cherry flavors… They are all sold online. When I buy it, I not only drink it myself, but my four-year-old son also likes to drink it. My parents feel very nostalgic."

?

Liu Cheng said that some time ago, Bright Ice Bricks and Popsicles attracted a lot of attention, and some people felt that they couldn’t buy them, but he felt that many time-honored brands were available on the Internet, so it was still very convenient to buy them. Moreover, the Internet’s role in the dissemination of time-honored brands and old products was also obvious: "I think the Internet has a great influence on time-honored brands. A few days ago, I saw that the post-95s in the office were also drinking salt soda water. When I asked, I said it was an’Internet celebrity ‘drink, because there was a line in the online drama" Love Apartment "called’I’ll spray you to death with a mouthful of salt soda water’, and they also knew it."

?

Online platforms find opportunities in affordable foods such as salt soda and bright cold drinks. Chen Zhengmin, a staff member of Tmall Supermarket, believes that the most important thing for a platform to gain consumer recognition is to provide the products they want. From the recent hot-selling salt soda and affordable cold drinks, it can be seen that the market appeal of old products and time-honored brands is still very strong, which requires us to do what we like.

?

Li Yao sees opportunities for old products and time-honored brands in new markets: "In fact, as long as many products are properly promoted, many young people will pay for them. For example, salt soda, in addition to the nostalgic consumers who will buy it, many young people also find that this drink is especially suitable for replenishing trace elements lost by sweating. It is the Chinese version of a sports drink, so in addition to quenching thirst in midsummer, it is also suitable for sports people such as running and playing ball. At the same time, the average age of consumers in Tmall supermarket is 5 years younger than that of offline stores, which means that old products and time-honored brands can explore the taste of new markets online." She also revealed that in order to "reverse the growth" of old products and time-honored brands, Tmall has also launched the "Tianzihao" plan. In addition to Yanzhong, Zhengguanghe, Guangming and other time-honored brands that have recently attracted much attention, there are also more than 30 Shanghai time-honored brands such as Shen Dacheng, Xinghualou, Gongdelin, Xinya, Dabai Rabbit, and Shao Wansheng, which have settled in and actively interact with consumers through various activities.

Affordable snacks are a "must-eat in Shanghai"

?

Xiao Long Bao, Fried Scallion, Noodles Mixed with Scallion Oil, White Chicken, Braised Pork, Sweet and Sour Steak, Oil-fried Shrimp, Pickled Button Fresh, Hairy Crab… These were the must-eat meals in Shanghai in the eyes of netizens, and local snacks and home-cooked dishes accounted for the vast majority. Looking at the "Shanghai Must-Eat" restaurants that netizens "auditioned", there were many roadside shops with a per capita price of only a few dozen yuan, and the signature dishes were precisely these local snacks or home-cooked dishes.

?

Just as Tmall "discovered" Shanghai’s Internet celebrity drinks and cold drinks, Dianping invited netizens to audition for "must-eat" dishes and restaurants around the world, and released the city’s must-eat list. From the Shanghai list, it is seen that the flavors and reasonable prices are the common denominators of the listed dishes and restaurants.

?

Huang Hai, senior vice president of Meituan Dianping, said that the purpose of launching the "Dianping Must-Eat List" is to actively explore the special cuisine of all parts of the country, so this list is mainly judged by netizens, rather than professional institutions or industry experts, hoping to use consumers’ eyes to choose their favorite restaurants. This year, the list also proposed the concept of "must-eat dishes in the city" for the first time, hoping to help the inheritance and development of local food culture.

?

"The selection of’must-eat restaurants in the city ‘is based on the online search volume and review volume of dishes in the city, and the final list is determined by the votes of local users. At the same time, for those’must-eat restaurants’, the weighted item of whether there is a’local must-eat ‘has also been added." Huang Hai said: "Although restaurants now promote cross-regional and integrated cuisine, we feel that in terms of’must-eat restaurants in the city’, we still need to restore the local taste, so we need to consider the preferences of local consumers."

?

Judging from the "Shanghai must-eat meals" and "must-eat restaurants" selected by netizens, the Shanghai-style region is full of characteristics: in terms of meals, they are all familiar specialties and dishes in Shanghai; in the restaurants, there are both local time-honored brands in Shanghai and Shanghai-style fusion dishes. Specifically, there are 91 restaurants in Shanghai selected for the "must-eat list", with an average unit price of 171 yuan. Among them, there are local noodle restaurants with a per capita consumption of less than 20 yuan, crab noodle soup dumpling restaurants with a per capita consumption of less than 100 yuan, but there are also fusion restaurants with a per capita consumption of more than 400 yuan. But overall, nearly 40% of the "must-eat restaurants" are authentic local restaurants, and the rest are mainly fusion dishes.

?

For the two lists of "must-eat meals" and "must-eat restaurants", many consumers feel that they are more down-to-earth than those selected by professional organizations. "A big feature is the high cost performance." White-collar Yu Mo boasted of being a "customer", and she carefully compared this list with the lists made by some professional organizations: "The per capita price is much lower. In the end, it is eaten by netizens themselves, and the price is relatively moderate. Everyone has the opportunity to try it. At least I plan to eat it according to this list."

?

"For business operators, it is also an inspiration – the market needs’sunshine and white snow ‘, but’Xialiba people’ are also very popular." Mr. Qi, a restaurant practitioner, believes that both the online audition list and the professional organization list have reference value: the former reflects the mass base, while the latter comes from the professional "tongue": "After all, it is impossible for every company to reach the three Michelin stars standard, so the easiest way to gain popularity is to see what ordinary people like."

1905 movie network feature The short film co-directed with Qu Yuan was shortlisted for the Golden Goblet Award Short Film Unit of the 25th Shanghai International Film Festival. The film focuses on a 19-year-old girl who lives alone in the city. Her mother’s violence has left a long-term psychological shadow on her. Finally, borrowing Qu Yuan’s "Tian Wen", the girl gradually discovers the meaning and outlet of life.

Through this short film, Wen Qi officially unlocked a new identity – director."It’s actually interesting to me. In the creative process, directing and acting are two very different perspectives, and sometimes they even contradict each other. You need to sacrifice a part of the perspective to complete a good work."

Wen Qi, who handed over her directorial debut, said that looking at her performance from the director’s perspective was difficult and interesting, and "this time I have learned a lot of experience with real guns and live ammunition."

The 20-year-old Wen Qi picked up the guide tube, adding another vibrant face to the director world and a youthful female force.

It is worth mentioning that with the emergence of the post-00s and the growing up of the post-90s, more and more young actors are beginning to cross the field of directing. The new generation of Chinese films is going further and further on the road of exploration and has never stopped.

PART.1

After many mature actors have accumulated a certain amount of experience, they are keen to direct their own works. In recent years, it can be seen that there are many actors who are new to cross-border directors, and their age is getting younger and younger.

The story consciousness had long been hidden in the young actors’ minds. They eventually turned their imagination into a real image with their actions.

Wen Qi, who was born in 2003, began to consider leaving a film of her own very early on. "The so-called self is not only the film I have acted in, but the film that can really represent me. Maybe after a long time, people will still think of me when they mention this film." Wen Qi said.

In "She Asks," the 19-year-old heroine is about her age, reflecting her observations of her peers. The recurring appearance of mirrors and water extends the lens space and highlights her creative expression as a director.

Also born after 2000, Lai Guanlin tried to write and direct himself earlier than Wen Qi. As early as 2021, he created the short film "Winter and Spring Fight". The story is written by Lai Guanlin himself, and the romantic title of the film is derived from "mountainsA poem from The Little Poet.The film tells the story of the daily life of a pair of left-behind siblings in a village in Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture, who won the honorary promotion of the third Golden Rooster Short Film Season New Wing Program.

Talking about his original intention of becoming a director, Lai Guanlin said frankly, "I just want to shoot things and visualize what I write."

The theme focuses on the future of Beijing and tells a heartwarming story about robots. Chen Ruoxuan, 28, also wrote and directed the short film "A House" and was shortlisted for the 13th Beijing International Film Festival Young Chinese Director Venture Capital Training Camp.

"I just wanted to write something, but I didn’t expect to be selected from hundreds of scripts." Chen Ruoxuan said bluntly that becoming a director was completely unintentional.

Like many ordinary new directors, whether Wen Qi, Lai Guanlin or Chen Ruoxuan, the actors who have crossed the border have started to experiment with short films. In addition to the director, or the starring role, or the screenwriter, they assume more than one pivotal core role in the stills, making the entire short film more clearly imprinted. Perhaps as Wen Qi said, "This is to represent their own work."

"She Asked" was shortlisted for the short film section ** the Shanghai Film Festival, "Winter and ****** Fight" made a splash on the Golden Rooster Awards stage, and "A House" was a work ** the ******* Film Festival’s venture capital training camp. The recognition ** domestic first-line film festivals also proves that these young people who have crossed the line ** actors and directors have unlimited potential. Lai Guanlin intends to apply for directing studies. Chen Ruoxuan also told 1905 Film Network that after taking the first step, he will go further and further down the road ** directing.

In the future, they will continue to unleash their potential and explore new imaging possibilities.

Compared with the above-mentioned younger generations, the 90-year-old has advanced from short film shooting to feature film creation.

"Your Favorite Color" focuses on the memories of a middle-aged man who plays rock and roll. As early as the age of 30, he made a movie for himself, completing the transition from actor to director. In addition, "Love is a Gun" is written, directed and starred by him. In an earlier interview, Li Hongqi said that he is making a new film.

"Post-00s" Wen Qi, Lai Guanlin, "Post-90s" Chen Ruoxuan and Li Hongqi, represented by them, it is not uncommon for a new force to cross-border directors from actors, and there may be an endless stream in the future.

He revealed his deep thoughts on the direction of production in the past. The 93-year-old had long been looking forward to unlocking the director’s identity, "Acting is a stepping stone, and behind the scenes, you can feel the intentions of every film creator more deeply." A few years ago, he also said in an interview that after enough precipitation, he would consider making his own film.

After spending a long time on the set, cross-border directing seems to have become a new development direction for young actors.

PART.2

Regarding the phenomenon of actors, even young actors, "crossing the border", he did not shy away from saying: "This is normal. In addition to actors and screenwriters, photographers can also be directors, and there are many excellent examples. This only proves that the film industry itself provides a lot of room for young people to rise and is full of vitality."

In the past, there were indeed many successful examples of young actors and directors who had crossed the border. Compared with the current batch of new directors who crossed the border, although the seniors rarely tried to cross the border in their early twenties, they were extremely adaptable after crossing the border and achieved brilliant results early.

The director who turned out to be a handsome and passionate knight in Gu Long’s pen was only 29 years old when he made his feature debut. Douban’s 8.6-point "The True Story of the Mad" is still a classic. The film not only made the then-rookie director Er Dongsheng mention the Best Director of the 6th Hong Kong Film Awards and other nominations, but also ushered in a perfect start for his directorial career.

After getting rid of the youth of "Beijing Love Story", when she picked up the director tube, she was only 29 years old. This work, which she wrote, directed and starred in, not only won the Best Director’s Debut Award at the 23rd Chinese Film Golden Rooster Awards, but also helped Xu Jinglei nominate for the Golden Rooster Award for Best Actress that year.

With a household name, he was only 31 when he filmed his first director’s work; he was only 32 when he co-directed.

Looking back, in their twenties or early thirties, when they crossed over to become directors, they were also young actors in their prime.

With Zhou Xingchi as the representative, he became very popular when he crossed the border, and his high national popularity naturally became the confidence of famous actors to try to make films. Of course, there are also unknown actors who have the courage to cross the border. Even if the initial stage is like a splash, but one step at a time, they eventually grow into independent directors.

At the beginning of his debut, he often "played soy sauce" in Hong Kong films as an actor. The 31-year-old director did not attract much attention. It was not until his debut that his directing ability was revealed.

As far as the current social and employment environment is concerned, the age of 35 is often considered a difficult pass. If you cross it, you may usher in a new dawn; if you can’t cross it, you may be gradually eliminated in the tide of the times.

The same is true for actors, especially those who are less well-known.35-Year-old actors may face the dilemma of losing opportunities, but 35 is the golden age for directors to create. In a sense, young actors can not only maximize their creative initiative, but also help broaden their development space and create more opportunities for personal career advancement.

It was undeniable that there were examples of actors failing to become directors. But whether it was Jiang Wen, Zhou Xingchi and other senior directors who had not seen a new film for a long time, or still active in the film industry, etc., they had proved time and time again that there were infinite possibilities for actors to cross-border directors.

The younger you are, the earlier you try, the lower the cost of trial and error, and the greater the room for development. The cross-border director of young actors is undoubtedly an active attempt. Looking forward to more young actors, bold challenges, and new colors for Chinese movies!

　　[PConline Disassembly]Last month, Meilan released a brand new S6 phone as the first celebration of this year. Although the Meilan S6 is not a high-end model, it has brought us breakthrough innovation in some aspects.

　　In the context of the popularity of full-screen mobile phones, the Meizu S6 has followed suit with this design concept. In addition, it boldly abandoned the previous waist-round solid button tradition and switched to the new interaction pattern of side fingerprint recognition + Super mBack. Now, we are going to have a simple teardown of this phone to see how the internal structure of the Meizu S6 with the new interaction pattern is.

　　As the first 18:9 full-screen mobile phone of Meizu Blue, the S6 is equipped with Samsung’s first full Netcom Exynos 7872 six-core processor, with a memory combination of up to 3GB RAM + 64GB ROM, a 5.7-inch full-screen design, a built-in 3000mAh capacity battery, support for 18W fast charging, and pre-installed Flyme 6.3 system based on Android 7.0 deep customization.

Detailed disassembly part

　　This time, we use the Moonlight Silver color scheme of the Meizu S6 as a disassembly equipment. According to the previous practice, the Meizu S6 is turned off first, and then after taking out the SIM card holder, we take out the small screwdriver prepared before to remove the two screws at the bottom.

　　After removing the bottom screws, I started to disassemble the fuselage. Since there was no crowbar ready for a while, the author had to use two suction cups to separate the two sides of the fuselage, and then use a plastic pick to remove the screen and the back case along the gap of the fuselage.

　　Disassemble the back case of the fuselage, you can see the main structure of the back of the mobile phone, the back of the fuselage is mainly divided into the main board, battery and sub-board and other common three-stage structure.

　　The main board of the fuselage has many ZIF connectors connected to the screen. The connectors are combined with ZIF and snap buttons, and a lot of black foam is specially fixed in the back area.

　　There are some small screws around the edge of the main board to fix, just remove these screws and disconnect the ZIF connector to separate the main board and the fuselage.

　　Looking at the rear shell part of the fuselage, we found that there is a large area of metal conductive stickers in the main board coverage area, which can also have a certain thermal conductivity while preventing static electricity.

　　As the first mobile phone to use side fingerprint recognition, the S6 is also very attentive to the 10-channel touchpoint connection with the shrapnel on the main board, so as not to cause damage due to cable displacement, reducing the difficulty of maintenance, and the 10-channel design also guarantees the efficiency of fingerprint data transmission.

　　The fingerprint recognition module has a one-piece design, which not only reduces the difficulty of disassembly, but also reduces the risk of tearing the cable when separating the fuselage. We remove the fingerprint module holder with tweezers, and then remove the fingerprint holder from the fuselage at the bottom of the module.

　　The battery module of the fuselage is fixed by superglue, and the battery capacity reaches 3000mAh, 11.28Wh. It also supports the 18W fast charging solution of 9V2A.

　　The bottom sub-board is covered by a speaker module and has 7 small screws to fix it. After removing the screws with a screwdriver, you can see that the sub-board is connected with a data interface, a headphone interface, and a vibration module, which is connected to the sub-board by welding.

　　Further disassembly revealed that the pressure sensing obtained by the Charm Blue S6 touching the small dots was derived from this linear vibration motor.

　　Linear motors generally appeared in high-end models in previous years. Linear motors can bring a softer vibration sensation, and can be found between the tail plug and the battery. When users touch small dots to achieve mBack, they can provide a relatively short feedback loop, greatly improving the speed and stability of small dot vibration.

　　Meilan S6 is made of all-metal nano-injection molding process to create the back shell of the fuselage. The back cover also uses a specific type of zirconium sand as the back cover of the whole machine for multiple sandblasts, which is more attentive to the fuselage process.

　　Disassembly summary

　　After simply disassembling the internal structure of the Meizu S6, it can be found that the disassembly difficulty of this phone is not too large, and the structural layout inside is also more traditional. This internal design also conforms to the body positioning characteristics of the Meizu S6.

　　Since the Meizu S6 uses side fingerprint recognition for the first time, it is different from the usual structure of previous Meizu mobile phones, and special attention needs to be paid when disassembling. In addition, the connection between the internal fuselage structure and parts of the Meizu S6 is not complicated, and the workmanship is also very solid. The details are also fixed with foam.

　　Overall, with the new trend of side fingerprint interaction and full-screen design, coupled with careful design and workmanship, the Meizu S6 can still be regarded as a young product with innovative personality.

Animation videos freeze China culture.

Produced by the Beijing International Film Festival Organizing Committee and produced by CMG’s "Shooting Man" Studio, the animation promo of the 12th Beijing International Film Festival was also officially released.

The main characters of this animated short film are the 12 Chinese zodiac Fuwa, which is shot by a stop-motion animation. Stop-motion animation is one of the oldest and most classic animation types. Every second consists of 12 frames, and each frame needs to be placed and shot 12 times by an animator alone. It is a tribute to the filmmakers to publicize the Beijing International Film Festival in the form of stop-motion animation. It is precisely because of the slow carving of the filmmakers that time slows down and becomes an eternal art.

All the characters, scenes and props in this cartoon are miniature landscapes made according to the size of the real thing. One of the quaint quadrangles is made of mixed materials, and the production cycle is as long as 500 hours.

The shortlist of the 12th Beijing International Film Festival "Tiantan Award" is as follows:

The screening list of the 12th Beijing International Film Festival is as follows:

　　Beijing, July 18 (Reporter Shangguan Yun) What if one day an asteroid hits the earth? This may be a scene imagined by many science fiction lovers. Earlier, it was reported that an asteroid might hit the earth on September 9 this year, but this possibility was finally ruled out.

　　On the 17th, "Asteroids will not hit the Earth in September" boarded a hot search in Weibo, which once again triggered a heated discussion: What is the "asteroid" we often talk about? What will happen if it collides with the earth?

　　The probability of "one in seven thousand" colliding with the earth

　　The hot search for "asteroids will not hit the earth in September" is related to an announcement issued by the European Space Agency on the 16th. According to media reports, the announcement pointed out that a mysterious asteroid discovered more than ten years ago was originally thought to have a small probability of hitting the earth on September 9 this year, but the latest observation data ruled out this possibility.

　　It is understood that this asteroid was discovered by astronomers in 2006, so it was code-named 2006 QV89. According to the observation data at that time, it had a probability of colliding with the earth on September 9 this year.

　　However, this asteroid was only observed in a short period of 10 days, and then mysteriously "disappeared". Astronomers never observed it again, which made it difficult to accurately calculate its current position.

　　Therefore, in order to judge whether the original observation results of QV89 "collision with the Earth" in 2006 are accurate, researchers have pondered a method: first, assume that the asteroid is still in the orbit that may collide with the Earth, and then observe its possible position in the sky on July 4 and 5, but found nothing.

　　Based on all kinds of data, this asteroid was finally considered to be no threat to the earth.

　　What the hell is an asteroid?

　　As the name implies, asteroids are celestial bodies in the solar system that move around the sun like planets, but their volume and mass are much smaller than those of planets.

　　"In 2006, scientists defined planets, asteroids and dwarf planets. For example, the earth is a planet, which basically lives alone, revolves around the sun, and has a relatively round shape. A typical dwarf planet is Ceres, and they are ‘ Live in groups ’ Yes, there are a bunch of celestial friends in the orbit. " Sun Zhengfan, a doctor of astrophysics and a popular science writer, said.

　　As for asteroids, compared with the first two, they are simply a group of strange little guys. Sun Zhengfan explained that asteroids also revolve around the sun, but they are not round in shape, and they are grotesque in shape, big and small.

　　According to public information, as of 2018, about 1.27 million asteroids have been discovered in the solar system, but due to the limitations of observation methods and other factors, this may be only a small part of all asteroids.

　　"If you search for near-earth asteroids or near-earth asteroids on the Internet, the number of them mentioned in relevant popular science articles will definitely surprise people." Sun Zhengfan said.

　　Asteroids and the mystery of dinosaur extinction

　　The powerful destructive power of asteroids hitting the earth can be known from scientists’ discussion on the mystery of dinosaur extinction. There is a well-known saying that an asteroid hit the earth about 66 million years ago was the direct cause of dinosaur extinction.

　　Specifically, this view holds that when an asteroid hit the earth, it triggered a huge tsunami, and the ocean on the surface of the earth suddenly rolled, but this was not the only disaster faced by dinosaurs.

　　The impact raised a lot of hot rocks and dust, which triggered a forest fire. Countless flying dust covered the sky, and the earth’s surface was not exposed to sunlight for many years. The global climate became cold and creatures became extinct on a large scale. Dinosaurs couldn’t adapt to the drastic climate change, and in addition, they were short of food and eventually went extinct.

　　"There are a pair of astronomers and their sons in the United States. In the strata around 66 million years ago, a metal element was found to have a very high content, but normally it has very little content in the rocks of the earth." Sun Zhengfan said, therefore, astronomers and their sons speculated that this metal element in the stratum exceeded the standard because an asteroid with a diameter of about 10 kilometers hit the earth at that time.

　　Of course, there are many different opinions about the reasons for the extinction of dinosaurs, such as volcanic eruption and so on. Sun Zhengfan introduced that some paleontologists believe that the extinction of dinosaurs is not a sudden event, but a process. Because of the long time, it is difficult to find a complete chain of evidence for many claims about the extinction of dinosaurs. The most popular one is "an asteroid hit the earth".

　　The disaster caused by "close contact"

　　In fact, people are worried about the "close contact" between asteroids and the earth because of the disaster and destructive power they may bring after hitting the earth.

　　For example, according to media reports, on February 15, 2013, an asteroid with a diameter of about 20 meters exploded over Chelyabinsk, Russia, which indirectly damaged more than 3,000 buildings and injured more than 1,600 people.

　　Astronomically, an object whose orbit is within 1.3 astronomical units from the sun (1 astronomical unit is the average distance between the sun and the earth, which is about 150 million kilometers) and whose orbit distance from the earth is less than 0.3 astronomical units is a near-earth object, which is a collection of near-earth asteroids and near-earth comets.

　　Among them, the potential impact with a diameter of more than 140 meters and the minimum distance from the earth orbit within 0.05 astronomical unit threatens celestial bodies and poses a direct threat to the earth.

　　"An asteroid with a larger diameter can easily cause serious disasters when it hits the earth." Sun Zhengfan explained that "asteroid impact on the earth" is a high-risk event, such as the impact that is thought to have led to the extinction of dinosaurs. There is still a huge crater in Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula, half on land and half in the sea.

　　Asteroids are terrible? There is no need to be overly anxious.

　　Based on the possible serious consequences of an asteroid’s visit, the news that an asteroid may hit the earth often causes many people’s worries. But Sun Zhengfan said that there is no need to be too anxious about this.

　　"First of all, it can cause extremely serious consequences ‘ Asteroids hit the earth ’ It’s a small probability event, and secondly, our earth has the atmosphere ‘ Protector ’ 。” Sun Zhengfan said.

　　Data Map: The picture shows beijing aerospace control center’s real-time monitoring and control mission of "Chang ‘e II" flying over an asteroid on December 13th. Sun zifa

　　He explained that the earth is moving in space, and there are always a huge number of things falling on it, mostly in the form of dust, or just like pebbles, some asteroids burn out in the atmosphere. "There are no people in most parts of the earth, such as the sea and the desert. Therefore, it does not have much impact on human beings. "

　　Sun Zhengfan also admitted that with the current scientific and technological means, it is still difficult to accurately calculate the running paths of asteroids that may cause harm to the earth, and "we can only estimate their size and quality by reflecting light, and this data itself has errors".

　　"Preventing doomsday asteroids is a very important job." Sun Zhengfan said, "Humans can unite to develop aerospace technology and prevent this major disaster through early warning."

　　West! West! West!

　　Driving all the way to the west from Kashgar airport in Xinjiang for more than 400 kilometers, running over the frozen soil of snow-capped mountains and crossing the ice peak to Daban, Hongqilafu is just around the corner.

　　This is a dangerous, mysterious and desirable place. There are thousands of miles of ice peaks, thousands of years of snow, and the towering Pamirs; There are ancient silk roads, bloody canyons and desolate western borders. There are cloud gates, snow mountain checkpoints, and lovely border guards.

　　Founded in 1949, Hongqi Lafu Frontier Company has been responsible for the defense of the China-Pakistan border for nearly 100 kilometers all the year round, with the highest patrol point exceeding 5,800 meters above sea level. They also guard the highest national gate in the world — — Hongqilafu Port.

　　Ice Peak, Snow Valley, National Gate, Boundary Monument, Youth … … The officers and men of the frontier defense company of Hongqilafu, a frontier defense regiment of Xinjiang Military Region stationed here, sprinkled their blood on the patrol road filled with snow and snow, made youth a solemn boundary marker on the border of the motherland, and continued to write a song of youth for contemporary soldiers on the Pamirs.

　　Plateau hypoxia

　　But never lack of spirit

　　Hongqilafu, Tajik means "blood-stained channel". The average altitude here is more than 4,700 meters, with snow all year round, the oxygen content in the air is only 46% of that in the plain, the wind force is above 7 or 8 all year round, the annual average temperature is 3.3 degrees Celsius, the lowest temperature is MINUS 43 degrees Celsius, and the cold season lasts for 8 months.

　　Walking in the land of Hongqilafu, every breath will remind you of the importance of life. Living and working here requires not only survival ability, but also strong belief and willpower to support it.

　　Hongqilafu is a daunting place for the weak and a fertile ground for the spiritual growth of the strong — —

　　In the 1950s, the company’s older generation of frontier guards took root in the Pamirs with the heroic spirit of "three-humped camel with a pot and three wooden sticks to build a nest and store ice and snow as water to drink". For decades, generations of people guarding the border have listened to and followed the party, and their faith in loyalty to the country and guarding the border has always been rock-solid.

　　In the cold winter of that year, platoon leader He Yu led three soldiers to the border to perform a task, and when they returned, they were besieged by a snowstorm. When the rescuers arrived, they only saw four silent "ice sculptures", holding steel guns and keeping forward in the direction of the company.

　　In the early autumn of that year, Yang Bo, then the company commander, accidentally fell off the cliff while exploring the road on the cliff. Fortunately, he was blocked by a prominent boulder and fell into a coma on the spot. The comrade-in-arms carried him down the hill, and the first sentence Yang Bo asked when he woke up in the bumps was: "Have you reached the point yet?" Knowing that he was being sent down the mountain, he struggled to get down from his comrades’ backs and led everyone to climb to the top of the mountain.

　　Before marking the boundary pillar, Yang Bo painted the boundary pillar with a brush and paint. At that time, comrades-in-arms took off their hats and saluted and sang a chorus: "Hongqilafu is very high, and Hongqilafu is far away. Our place is called the border pass, and the boundary pillar trees are in the clouds … …” The majestic duet echoed in the ice peak and snow valley for a long time and became the eternal memory of officers and men.

　　"This is the power of faith." With a splitting headache due to altitude sickness, the reporter stuck an oxygen straw in his nose and listened to the story of the officers and men of the border defense company telling the story of guarding the border. Young officers and men have simple words and are not good at expressing emotions, but they have repeatedly moved reporters to wipe their tears.

　　Be at the border

　　Tight string of combat readiness

　　"Lack of oxygen is not lacking in spirit, and the altitude is higher and the standard is higher." Being in the company, the reporter really understood the meaning of this sentence. When boarding the Hongqilafu post, the reporter was panting at every step. Some people have calculated that walking on foot is equivalent to carrying 30 kilograms on the flat ground, and the difficulty of training intensity can be imagined.

　　恶劣的自然环境，没有成为连队降低训练标准的借口。尽管官兵不时地提醒记者走路要慢些，而上了训练场，他们个个像小老虎，敢打硬拼。官兵们在一次次极限挑战中，练就了“守得住、打得赢”的过硬本领。

　　“海拔再高高不过使命，生命有禁区备战无盲区”“不仅要守得住，更要打得赢”……“身处边防，使命重大，坚持战斗力标准，就要按照习主席的要求，‘保持箭在弦上、引而待发的高度戒备态势’。”连长杨映伟说，“我们就是祖国的眼睛，什么时候都要睁得大大的！”

　　为应对严峻复杂的边境防控形势，连队坚持加强应急处突演练，提高应对突发事件的能力，始终保持良好的战备状态。他们还协调武警、驻地派出所、民兵，每月举行边境防控、潜入潜出等联合演练……如今，一丝风吹草动、一点异常响动、一张陌生面孔，都会被官兵敏锐捕捉，迅速作出反应。

　　一次，驻守国门附近的红其拉甫前哨班列兵杨建刚上岗时，发现路旁停放着一辆皮卡车。他透过车窗发现，车内空无一人，车座上放着几件军装。他顿时警觉起来，立即向哨所报告。

　　Liang Chao, the instructor at that time, led three soldiers to come quickly. Suddenly, a man got into the car, started the car and turned around and ran. Instructor Liang immediately informed the company to start the military, police and civilian defense plan. In less than 7 minutes, company officers and soldiers, resident militia, and armed police officers and soldiers set up checkpoints at several roads at the same time. Twenty minutes later, the escaped man was captured. Later, it was learned that the man was a suspect and attempted to cross the border as a soldier.

　　In the past three years, the company has been the first in the group for more than ten times in the emergency readiness assessment. When Yang Jun, the head of the regiment, inspected the company’s combat readiness, he praised: "The soldiers of the Hongqilafu border defense company are like loaded bullets, always ready to attack!"

　　Mountain high road insurance

　　Stick to every inch of land

　　"I would rather let my life overdraw than let my mission owe." This sentence is not only a loud slogan in the border defense company of Hongqilafu, but also a true portrayal of officers and men performing their missions with their lives.

　　In September last year, the company commander Yang Yingwei led the soldiers to ride yaks and embarked on the annual routine patrol of Wufu Langgou.

　　The duty station of Wufu Langgou is known as the "Valley of Death". Every time the patrol officers and soldiers have to climb over 8 ice and snow Daban with an altitude of more than 5,000 meters, they have waded into glaciers for more than 30 times, and it takes at least 4 days to go back and forth for hundreds of kilometers. This is the only patrol line in the whole army that can only ride yaks with good endurance and walk on a cliff because of the high mountains and dangerous roads.

　　Glaciers and wading beaches. Every time I walk in Wufu Langgou, it is a test of life and death — —

　　Once, the patrol team arrived at the Koehler Qinghe River in Mizoguchi. When the military doctor Yang Haibo rode a yak to the middle of the river, a big wave swept him into the middle of the river, and even people and cattle were washed out of more than 300 meters, and finally he was rescued by his comrades in the downstream;

　　Once, the squad leader Ji Wenzhi slipped off the yak and almost fell off the cliff; Warrior Wang Fulong almost fell into a deep valley to avoid flying stones; Camping at night, then instructor Wang Lie lit his coat to fight the wolves; Wading into a glacier, the border guard Garedin fell into the river and was washed out more than 200 meters away … …

　　Another time in the early morning, when the patrol was camping, it was surrounded by wolves. A dozen pairs of green eyes stared at the camp, and the low hissing roar made the sentry creepy. The officers and men gathered together, lit the bonfire, kept pulling the bolt and confronted the wolves all night. It was not until dawn that the wolves dispersed, and the officers and men rushed to the next point without taking a rest.

　　In the past ten years, officers and men have been threatened by mudslides, blizzards, hail, avalanches and wild animals for nearly a hundred times on patrol. More than 30 officers and men have fallen into glaciers, valleys and snow pits, and 15 yaks have fallen off cliffs and died on patrol.

　　One thrilling story made the reporter jumpy. However, patrolling in Wufu Langgou is the common wish of the officers and men of the company. They said that only after experiencing the "warrior’s sign" can they be considered as excellent soldiers in the border defense company of Hongqilafu.

　　Cherish one’s home country

　　Youth always stays at the border.

　　Purple skin, chapped lips, sunken nails … … Here, the harsh natural environment gives the border officers and soldiers a common and unique makeup. Officers and men take off their caps, and there is a high hairline on each young face — — Hair is sparse. When they reach out their hands, sunken and deformed nails make people feel distressed … … Due to lack of oxygen and vitamins, most officers and men suffer from altitude diseases such as hypertension and ventricular hypertrophy in different degrees.

　　Only when you are stationed at the border can you understand your country better. Overcoming all kinds of discomfort caused by cold and lack of oxygen, officers and men carved poems of caring for their home country and selfless dedication on the glacier snow mountain.

　　In 2010, Master Sergeant Zhang Hongshun received the news that his mother was critically ill. At that time, the company was carrying out a major task. Zhang Hongshun, who had been defending for many years, silently walked out of the company gate. On the empty plateau, facing the direction of his hometown, he kowtowed three times to his mother.

　　The silent dedication of the officers and men of the company has also been cared for at all levels. Since the 18th National Congress, the working and living environment of the company has been greatly improved. Nowadays, officers and men live in new barracks, get oxygen from their beds, eat fresh vegetables and use long-term electricity.

　　“看云彩，看云彩，光秃秃的哨所也有乐趣在。大雪能封住山，封住了路，封不住士兵多彩的情怀……”

　　团政治处主任陈柏涛说，这是官兵最爱唱的歌曲《看云彩》。都说红其拉甫连有一种神奇魔力，是一个听了不敢来、来了却不愿走的地方。这首动听的歌曲，不就是对这种神奇魔力的注解吗？

　　“在激情奋斗中绽放青春光芒。”如今已是红其拉甫会谈会晤站副站长的王烈对记者说，习主席的这句话，就是红其拉甫边防连官兵的青春写照，这里不仅是干部成就事业的舞台，也是战士实现青春价值的好地方。

　　“永远忠于祖国，永远忠于界碑”……高原的艰苦环境改变的不只是他们的外表，也锻造了战士们忠诚无言的强大内心。

　　多年来，红其拉甫连牢记党和人民重托，忠诚戍边、甘于奉献，被中央军委授予“卫国戍边模范连”荣誉称号，连续12年被表彰为“基层建设先进连队”“边防执勤先进单位”，先后荣立集体一等功5次、二等功6次、三等功8次。

　　Since the beginning of this year, China has continued to promote supply-side structural reforms, increased tax reduction and fee reduction, rationalized the price formation mechanism in important areas, maintained a balance between market supply and demand, lowered inflation expectations, and moderately fluctuated consumer prices. At present, the overall price level has maintained a stable operation trend, which indicates that the economic operation is stable and good, creating a good environment for promoting high-quality economic development.

　　Recently, there has been a strong expectation that the prices of pork, fruit and other foods will rise. According to the data released by the National Bureau of Statistics not long ago, the national consumer price index (CPI) rose by 2.0% in the first four months of this year. Among them, in April, the CPI rose by 2.5% year-on-year, and it was in the "2 era" for two consecutive months.

　　In an interview with Economic Daily China Economic Net, relevant experts said that, on the whole, since the beginning of this year, China has continued to promote supply-side structural reforms, increased tax reduction and fee reduction, rationalized the price formation mechanism in important areas, maintained a balance between market supply and demand, lowered inflation expectations, and moderately fluctuated consumer prices. At present, the overall price level has maintained a stable operation trend, which indicates that the economic operation is stable and good, creating a good environment for promoting high-quality economic development.

　　There has been a structural increase in prices.

　　In the first four months of this year, CPI rose by 1.7%, 1.5%, 2.3% and 2.5% respectively, and the monthly year-on-year increase showed a steady upward trend in moderate fluctuations. Among them, in the last two months, the year-on-year increase in prices has increased, entering the "2 era."

　　Liu Aihua, spokesman of the National Bureau of Statistics, believes that the CPI rose by 2.5% year-on-year in April this year, mainly due to the increase of individual varieties. Among them, pork, fresh vegetables and fresh fruits all increased by more than 10% year-on-year.

　　"Overall, despite the increase in CPI in the last two months, it is significantly lower than the control target of 3%, and it is mainly affected by factors such as the base of the previous year, the hikes and seasonality, showing structural upward characteristics and not having a comprehensive upward basis." Zhang Qianrong, deputy director of the Finance and Finance Research Office of the National Information Center, said.

　　Zhang Qianrong analyzed that in the first four months of this year, food prices rose by 3.2% year-on-year, which boosted CPI by 0.62 percentage points and contributed 29.7% to the CPI increase. Non-food prices rose by 1.7%, which boosted CPI by 1.48 percentage points and contributed 70.3%. The contribution rate of non-food prices to the price increase is obviously higher than that of food. Although the recent increase in pork prices has led to an increase in food prices, non-food prices have remained stable as a whole, and prices do not have the basis for an overall increase.

　　"At present, China’s price increase is at a medium level on a global scale. From an international perspective, China’s price increase is slightly higher than that of developed economies such as the United States and the European Union, and significantly lower than that of BRICS countries such as Russia, which is at a medium level in the world. " Zhang Qianrong said.

　　The data shows that in the first quarter of this year, the US CPI rose by 1.7% year-on-year, while the EU harmonized CPI rose by 1.6%, slightly lower than that of China. India’s CPI rose by 7.1%, Russia’s by 5.2%, South Africa’s by 4.2% and Brazil’s by 4.2%, which was significantly higher than China’s CPI.

　　It is worth noting that in the first four months of this year, the national producer price index (PPI) rose by 0.1%, 0.1%, 0.4% and 0.9% respectively, with a slight year-on-year increase.

　　Zhang Qianrong said that the increase in PPI was mainly affected by factors such as the rise in international oil prices and the negative increase in the same period last year. Since the beginning of this year, the increase of PPI is lower than that of CPI, and the upstream and downstream price trends are upside down.

　　Pork supply is relatively abundant.

　　In April, the price of pork rose by 14.4%, an increase of 9.3 percentage points over the previous month, which affected the year-on-year increase of CPI by about 0.31 percentage points.

　　Relevant data show that in the first ten days of March this year, the price of white pigs rose continuously and rapidly. On March 1st, the average wholesale price of striped pigs in Beijing Xinfadi Market was 7.28 yuan/kg, but on March 10th, the price rose to 9.45 yuan/kg, and the price rose by 29.90% in 10 days, which was quite obvious. Since then, the price has fluctuated slightly.

　　"Overall, pork prices have changed little in the past 60 days. In other words, after the price of meat reached a higher level in mid-March, it showed a weak trend. " Liu Tong, director of statistics department of Beijing Xinfadi agricultural products wholesale market, said.

　　Liu Tong analyzed that in the first ten days of March, the price of pork rose significantly, which was the expected increase in advance. From the market situation, in the first week of March, the average daily market volume of white pigs increased by 10% from the previous week and 15% from the same period of last year, and there was no shortage of supply. In this case, the increase in meat prices mainly comes from the thrust outside the market, especially the data released by some institutions show that the stock of fertile sows has decreased, which provides conditions for the bottom rebound of meat prices.

　　"The increase or decrease in the number of fertile sows reflects that there is a certain lag period in the supply capacity and price, and the insiders call this lag period ‘ Cobweb effect ’ . In other words, the supply of pigs in the second half of 2019 may show ‘ Tight equilibrium ’ State, meat prices will rise. Therefore, the rise in early March is an early rise. " Liu Tong analyzed that after the release of relevant data, most forecasts tend to show that the pig price will reach an all-time high. This expectation has played a strong role in fueling the rise in meat prices.

　　Liu Tong said that in fact, the number of pig heads with white stripes does not fully represent the supply of ketone bodies in pork. After the price of meat rose, the pig farm was filled with the emotion of waiting for the price to be sold, the time of keeping pigs in the pen was prolonged, and the single weight of pigs generally increased. In April 2019, the single weight of pigs generally increased by 10%. According to this calculation, the supply of pork in April this year exceeded the same period last year. If this phenomenon continues, when the number of pigs drops by 20% and the single weight of pigs increases by 20%, the decline in the number of pigs can be compensated by the increase of single weight, and the supply of pork is still relatively sufficient.

　　There is no inflation risk.

　　"Overall, whether it is from food or industrial consumer goods and services, there will be no sharp increase in CPI in the future, and prices will be stable and have a solid foundation." In response to the future trend of prices, Liu Aihua said.

　　Liu Aihua analyzed that, from the perspective of food prices, fresh vegetables and fresh fruits are short-term impacted by extreme weather factors, which is not sustainable, and pork prices have a certain resilience. With the gradual recovery of prices, farmers’ enthusiasm for replenishing the column will be correspondingly improved, which will play a stabilizing role in prices. From the perspective of non-food prices, the supply capacity of industrial products is sufficient, and there is no basis for a sharp increase. Although the increase in service prices is relatively high, it is generally stable.

　　"Overall, the factors that will support and curb price increases in the future are intertwined." Zhang Qianrong said. From the factors supporting the price increase, on the one hand, affected by African swine fever epidemic and other factors, the number of live pigs has declined, and pork prices have continued to rise. However, considering the strong overall supply capacity of pork in China, an early warning mechanism for pig price control has been established, and it is more likely that the pork price will increase in the later period, but it does not have the basis for a substantial increase; On the other hand, with the decline of demographic dividend, labor cost will become a long-term factor to push up prices.

　　On the one hand, since 2012, the increase of CPI in China has been less than 3%. Considering that residents’ inflation expectations are generally related to the previous price level, the current low price increase has reduced residents’ inflation expectations; On the other hand, China’s main industrial products are abundant in supply, with bumper harvests for many years, high grain and oil stocks, rapid development of service industry, strong supply capacity in various fields and strong price stability. In addition, with the continuous advancement of supply-side structural reforms, the operating costs of enterprises have been significantly reduced, providing a good policy environment for stabilizing prices.

　　Zhang Qianrong said that after preliminary calculation, the CPI hikes factor is about 0.7% and PPI hikes factor is about 0.1% in 2019. Considering the hikes and the above factors, it is expected that consumer prices in China will continue to rise moderately and steadily in 2019, with CPI rising by about 2.3% and PPI rising by about 1.0%. There is no inflation risk, and the pressure on price control is light.

　　BEIJING, March 14 (Xinhua) Recently, the Key Laboratory of Big Data Mining and Knowledge Management of the Chinese Academy of Sciences released the White Paper on Online English Education for Children in China in 2017. According to the report, online English education for children in China is spreading its influence around the world, covering 35 countries and regions around the world. Except for China, Japanese, Canadian and American have the largest number of young students who use the services of educational enterprises in China.

　　In the domestic market, first-tier cities such as Beishangguangshen and Shenzhen have become the main force in the online children’s English education market. The three major brands have divided 80% of the domestic market, and VIPKID has a 55% market share; Domestic students tend to be younger, with an average age of about 6 years old. Most parents are willing to spend more than 10,000 yuan a year for this, and 70% parents are willing to choose North American foreign teachers with pure accents and lively teaching.

　　The data also shows that the total daily class hours of online children’s English education in China have exceeded 100,000. From this calculation, parents in China saved 146 million hours in total, effectively solving the pain point of parents’ time-consuming and labor-intensive transportation of their children to class. In terms of teaching staff, there are currently more than 30,000 foreign teachers in North America providing online English teaching services to students around the world, with an average teaching experience of 7.5 years. All of them have bachelor’s degrees or above, and many of them have ivy league backgrounds, including Columbia University, Duke University, Harvard University, Brown University and Stanford University.

　　Dr. Zhong Yunqin, Key Laboratory of Big Data Mining and Knowledge Management, Chinese Academy of Sciences, believes that the follow-up survey in recent years shows that the extensive online education service model is gradually losing its appeal and its business growth is obviously limited; The high-quality personalized Internet education platform pays more attention to the inherent development law of education, and creatively combines new educational concepts, teaching models, artificial intelligence, big data and other technical means to better meet the needs of users in the new era for personalized education. The global rise of domestic online education brands represented by VIPKID caters to this trend and explores new ideas for future educational innovation.

　　The average age of online students is 6 years old, and the number of people in East China accounts for over 30%.

　　The combination of the Internet and traditional education has given birth to a brand-new business scene. Teachers and students are no longer bound by geographical constraints, and students may connect with excellent educational resources around the world without leaving home. At present, the number of paid students on the VIPKID platform exceeds 200,000, covering 35 countries and regions around the world. Japan, the United States and Canada are the three countries with the largest number of overseas students on this platform. Generally speaking, online education has shown strong portability and is becoming an important means for children to learn English all over the world.

　　From the domestic market, first-tier cities such as Beishangguangshen and Shenzhen have become the main force in the online children’s English education market, and the three major regions of North China, East China and South China, which radiate from this, account for 81% of the overall market. Among them, the number of students in East China accounts for the highest proportion, with a share of 36%. North China and South China followed closely with 27% and 18% respectively. Compared with other regions, parents in coastal and economically developed areas are more receptive to online education mode and more willing to cultivate their children’s English ability from an early age.

　　According to the market survey, the Chinese Academy of Sciences shows that the domestic online children’s English education market is still in an early stage after only four years of development. In terms of market share, the top three companies at present are VIPKID, 51Talk and vipJr, which account for more than 80% of the market, of which VIPKID accounts for 55% of the domestic market; In terms of the number of foreign teachers, there are more than 30,000 foreign teachers working on the VIPKID platform, which exceeds the total number of foreign teachers of all other online education brands in China.

　　In major cities, the number of VIPKID students in Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Hangzhou and Chengdu occupies the top five. This is roughly consistent with the search distribution results of "VIPKID" in Baidu Index. It is worth noting that the students in two quasi-first-tier cities, Hangzhou and Chengdu, are growing rapidly, pushing Guangzhou, which ranked fourth in 2016, to sixth place. Cities such as Nanjing, Wuhan, Dalian and Chongqing also entered the TOP10.

　　At present, children’s English learning in China tends to be younger. From the perspective of urban distribution, the average age of students in first-tier cities is generally around 6 years old, and the average age of students in second-tier cities has slightly risen to 6.5 years old. The survey also shows that more and more parents begin to consider English education before their children are 3 years old.

　　Online mode helps parents in China save 146 million hours a year.

　　Driven by the deepening economic and cultural exchanges between China and foreign countries, the maturity of internet education technology and application, and the reform of English teaching, the online English education model for children has been recognized by more and more families and parents. Among them, parents in first-tier cities such as Beishangguang have fully realized that online education is an effective way to quickly improve their children’s English listening and speaking level, and the related cognition of parents in second-tier cities has also been significantly improved. In contrast, parents in third-and fourth-tier cities are still relatively vague about the concept of Internet education, and the market needs more patient cultivation.

　　The data shows that users in the online children’s English market have strong spending power, and middle-class families with an annual income of 200,000-1 million account for 58%. Most parents said that they would spend more than 10,000 yuan on their children’s English education every year. Despite the high cost, most families still think that online English education has remarkable learning effect and high cost performance.

　　According to the survey data of a large number of parents by Chinese Academy of Sciences, the phenomenon that many parents passively choose Asian foreign teachers is changing under the previous insufficient supply. At present, 73.6% of parents prefer to choose foreign teachers in North America for three reasons: foreign teachers in North America have purer accents and more lively teaching methods, and North America is the first choice for their children to study abroad. 22.1% parents tend to choose British or Australian foreign teachers, while only 4.3% are willing to choose Asian (Philippines, Vietnam and Indonesia) foreign teachers.

　　In online children’s English learning, after-class evaluation is a very important part of the evaluation of learning effect. At present, the number of foreign teachers on the VIPKID platform exceeds 30,000, and the total number of evaluations by users after class exceeds 5 million, and each foreign teacher receives an average of 167 evaluations. Foreign teachers with five-star praise are more favored by parents, and foreign churches with bad reviews are quickly eliminated by the market. A tripartite feedback mechanism between parents, North American foreign teachers and online platforms is taking shape. In terms of specific dimensions, "paying attention to pronunciation", "being patient and friendly" and "being good at guiding" are the three evaluation keywords that parents are most concerned about, and the number of evaluations related to each keyword exceeds 1 million.

　　The rise of online English education mode highlights many disadvantages of traditional offline mode. According to the survey of offline traditional mode, 85% parents complain that it takes time and effort to pick up and drop off their children, which is particularly prominent in first-tier cities. Many parents spend far more time on picking up and dropping off their children than the class hours themselves. 68% of parents think that the level of offline foreign teachers is uneven and the choice space is extremely limited; 61% parents think that offline mode is not conducive to systematically understanding their children’s learning progress; 49% parents think that there is too little interaction in offline large class mode; 28% of parents said that their children are not interested in learning in offline institutions.

　　Online education allows more and more children to enjoy North American English education without leaving home, which saves parents a lot of time. The survey shows that parents in big cities spend an average of more than 2.5 hours on picking up and waiting for a class for their children, and the average time spent in small and medium-sized cities is about 1.8 hours.

　　At present, VIPKID has 100,000 online courses every day, which exceeds 50% of the total online courses of the same kind in China. Calculated by saving 2 hours per class, online mode saved about 146 million hours for parents in China. Even according to the walking distance, it saves parents in China nearly 730 million kilometers a year, which is equivalent to 18,250 laps around the equator of the earth. Switching to car transport calculation will help China families save about 650,000 tons of gasoline consumption every year.

　　The data shows that when children adapt to the online mode, 82% of online children’s English learners complete their classes independently without their parents’ company. At the same time, parents are more willing to learn about their children’s learning at any time with the help of classroom video playback and real-time class monitoring system. More than 87% parents have used the course playback function within one month, including 13% parents who work in different places or travel, who have used the real-time class monitoring function within one month.

　　Because the online children’s English learners are generally young, and the teaching pays more attention to the improvement of English comprehensive ability such as expression, parents’ feedback on the effect is lagging behind. VIPKID class data shows that in the first five classes, parents think that the effective curve grows more slowly; With the deepening of the course, the growth rate of the feedback result curve is obviously improved, and the maximum growth rate is ushered in in the 20 th section; Since then, parents’ satisfaction has shown a continuous growth trend.

　　Among the extracurricular reading materials of online children’s English education, excellent picture books are more popular with children. On the VIPKID open class platform, the TOP5 five are all excellent picture books, including popular science, fairy tales, humanities and other topics. In terms of reading habits, it becomes an open class collective "movie-watching day" for parents of students every Friday night.

From the data of appointment, foreign teachers with longer teaching experience are more popular with parents, and foreign teachers with active expressive force are also deeply loved; It is worth noting that the number of male foreign teachers only accounts for 10% of the total, and the demand for classes is in short supply.

　　The Internet education model has enabled foreign teachers who graduated from top universities in the world to enter China families. The data shows that among the more than 30,000 North American foreign teachers, there are many graduates from American Ivy League and well-known universities, including Columbia University, Duke University, Harvard University, University of Pennsylvania, Brown University and Stanford University. These foreign teachers with prestigious backgrounds cover pedagogy, psychology, special education, literature, sociology and economics.

　　The survey shows that the focus of foreign teachers in North America in the process of online teaching is first to improve their self-skills, followed by a sense of accomplishment and educational public welfare, and finally to improve their income and cross-cultural communication experience. With its mature teacher training system, VIPKID continues to empower foreign teachers, thus becoming the most popular online children’s English education platform for foreign teachers in North China in 2017, and surpassing Amazon to become the first in the list of the most popular telecommuting platforms in the United States, which also highlights the unique attraction of online education in for foreign teachers.

　　The rapid development of online children’s English industry allows foreign teachers to freely choose various teaching platforms. When choosing a teaching platform, foreign teachers in North America first look at the number of students on the platform, followed by the degree of technical stability and whether the course content is easy to teach and learn; In addition, the popularity of the platform and the teaching atmosphere are also important factors affecting foreign teachers in North America. At present, in the major social networking sites in the United States, the popularity of VIPKID far exceeds that of 51Talk and vipJr, which rank second and third.

　　Online mode promotes education and benefits a large number of rural primary schools.

　　The Internet has enabled a large number of high-quality educational resources to cover children in poor areas in China in a short period of time, and various online education platforms in China have launched various public welfare activities. "VIPKID" has been extended to 100 rural schools since it started on September 12, 2017. These schools are located in 21 provinces in China, with Yunnan, Gansu and Guizhou accounting for the largest proportion.

　　Compared with the trend of younger students in cities, English education in rural areas generally started late. According to the 100 rural schools covered by "VIPKID", most rural children’s English education begins after the third grade. The combination of online education and public welfare has enabled more North American foreign teachers to enter rural classrooms. Among the 3,745 students covered by the VIPKID public welfare project, 92% said that they were exposed to foreign teachers for the first time.

　　With the help of online education mode, the plight of weak and limited English teachers in rural schools has been quickly improved. "VIPKID foreign teachers from North America enter the rural classroom" only took one month, and the average completion rate jumped from the initial 78% to over 90%, and some of them have already achieved 100% completion.

　　For rural children, learning English faces many challenges, including the lack of local English teachers, poor English teaching materials and equipment, and parents’ insufficient attention to English education. According to the survey of rural children’s wishes, the number one in rural children’s minds is looking forward to "more foreign teachers’ classes", followed by "more picture books", and "parents pay more attention to my study", and "I can communicate in English" is also at the top of the wish list.
