What is statistics?

Statistics is a science about data. All the collected data need to be sorted out and analyzed before a conclusion can be drawn, which is the whole process of statistics using data to solve practical problems. However, you will find that the same data can be analyzed by different methods and different conclusions can be drawn, and different data can also be analyzed by the same method. Such as weather forecast, different forecasting agencies have different forecast results. Moreover, the conclusions drawn from statistical analysis are often uncertain (Uncertainty), because it often describes the opportunity of something happening, which can be measured by probability. For example, the probability of precipitation in the weather forecast, as we all know, if the probability of precipitation is as high as 90%, it is likely to rain. If the probability of precipitation is only 5%, everyone will think that it will hardly rain. But it won’t rain in the actual situation, and we can only know when the predicted day really comes.

 

Statistics focuses on the quantitative characteristics of a large number of repeatable things. This is because in some fields, some conclusions are difficult to be described with certainty like mathematical formulas or theorems. For example, when parents are taller, most people think that their children will be taller. But when you observe the height of a parent and their children, you will find that some parents who are taller are not tall. Therefore, height has a certain randomness (randomness)。 This randomness may be related to human genes, living environment, acquired diet, living habits and other factors. However, on the whole, the height of children of taller parents tends to be higher, which has long been confirmed by the experimental data of Gao Erdun (1822-1911), a famous British biologist and statistician, in 1855. It is random that a person’s height may be different. But on the whole, the stability of average height shows that there is a law in randomness, which is the statistical law. Therefore, it can be further said that statistics is also a knowledge of finding out statistical laws.

The new regulation of protecting data security refers to the chaos of "algorithm"

  CCTV News:In recent years, while the application of algorithms has injected new kinetic energy into economic and social development, the unreasonable application of algorithms such as algorithm discrimination, "killing big data" and inducing addiction has also brought troubles to our lives. In response to these problems, the "Regulations on the Administration of Internet Information Service Algorithm Recommendation" jointly formulated by the National Network Information Office and other four departments was officially released on January 4, which extended a "sword" to various algorithmic chaos.

  To which subjects does the regulation apply? The "Regulations" clarify that the application of algorithm recommendation technology refers to providing information to users by using algorithm technologies such as generating synthesis class, personalized push class, sorting selection class, retrieval filtering class and scheduling decision class. This means that all kinds of Internet companies that provide algorithm recommendation services are almost within the scope of supervision, such as various short video platforms, e-commerce platforms, social platforms and catering take-out platforms.

  Guarantee the user’s algorithm knowledge and choice.

  The "Regulations" require that users’ right to know and choose algorithms should be guaranteed, and users should be provided with options that are not aimed at their personal characteristics, or the option to conveniently close the algorithm recommendation service.

  Prohibit "big data killing" to protect the legitimate rights and interests of consumers

  How will the regulations constrain "big data killing"? In response to the "big data killing", the "Regulations" propose that unreasonable differential treatment should not be implemented on trading conditions such as trading prices by using algorithms according to the characteristics of consumers’ preferences and trading habits.

  Do not use algorithms to induce minors to indulge in the Internet.

  What are the special protections for specific groups? The "Regulations" make it clear that information that may cause minors to imitate unsafe behaviors and violate social ethics, induce minors’ bad habits and other information that may affect their physical and mental health, and may not use algorithmic recommendation services to induce minors to indulge in the Internet.

  It should be convenient for the elderly to use algorithm recommendation service safely.

  For the elderly, it is required that the algorithm recommendation service should fully consider the needs of the elderly for travel, medical treatment, consumption and work, and should facilitate the safe use of the algorithm recommendation service by the elderly.

  Improve the platform dispatching service to protect the rights and interests of workers

  Before the promulgation of the Regulations, some take-away platforms used algorithms to measure the delivery time of take-away workers, which caused social controversy. The unreasonable algorithm mechanism once made the takeaway rider be labeled as the most dangerous occupation. In view of this phenomenon, the "Regulations" proposed that relevant algorithms such as platform order allocation, remuneration composition and payment, working hours, rewards and punishments should be established and improved.

The national vocational skill standard of "e-sportsman" is coming to the fore. How will e-sports youth follow their dreams?

editorial comment/note

  On November 30th, entrusted by occupational skill testing authority, Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, the China Cultural Management Association held the final meeting of the national vocational skills standards for "e-sportsmen" in Beijing, and the national vocational skills standards for "e-sportsmen" came to the fore.

  In recent years, numerous e-sports among young people have gradually developed into a mass movement. In 2019, e-sports operators and e-sports players entered new occupations. In 2020, China will surpass North America for the first time and become the most commercially valuable e-sports market.

  On the one hand, the market calls for more e-sports professionals; On the other hand, how to keep the boundary between "participating in e-sports" and "indulging in games" still puzzles many parents, teachers and students. The standardized development of e-sports industry is timely. Bright Think Tank presents all kinds of people in this emerging industry from different angles, feels the love, struggle and dreams of young people, and also faces the understanding, worries and expectations of all sectors of society on the e-sports industry.

Let the e-sports industry "stand out" and not "walk alone"

Narrator: Zhu Qinqin, Secretary General of Shanghai E-sports Association

  In 2016, I changed from an e-sports bystander to an e-sports participant and operator and joined the Shanghai E-sports Association. Shanghai is the birthplace of e-sports in China, and it is also the first city in China to establish a local e-sports association. When I joined, the association had been established for 9 years. Compared with my predecessors, I caught up with a good time — — Five golden years of e-sports development. E-sports in China has experienced nearly 20 years of development, only then has it transitioned from "grassroots" stage to semi-professional stage, and then entered the "golden stage" of systematization and standardization.

  Before engaging in e-sports, I was an organizer and operator of traditional sports events. It took me a year to spend the initial confusion period and corrected the idea of changing the development of e-sports with the traditional model. I realized that e-sports was born with a unique rule system and language model, which took time to accumulate and gradually formed the general rules like traditional sports.

  After contacting the e-sports circle, I found that e-sports players are generally eager to be accepted and afraid of being misunderstood. For example, a young player with a rich annual income once said to me, "I always dare not look up and say hello to my neighbors when I go in and out of the community with my teammates every day, for fear that they will regard me as a bad teenager."

  Professional e-sports is a more cruel subdivision than traditional professional sports. The maintenance period of players’ careers is shorter and the competitors’ groups are larger. Especially for those relatively young professional e-sports players, their minds are still in the development stage, but they must accept the social pressure, workplace pressure and professional pressure that many adults will face in advance. In order to improve this situation, we have formulated and issued the "Administrative Measures for the Registration of E-sports Athletes in Shanghai (Trial)" to give children a more formal and extensive recognition, so that their self-worth can be more completely realized. Like the whole e-sports industry, these children are "maverick" rather than "independent". They are fighting for their dreams and making due efforts for their love.

  Shanghai has abundant e-sports soil, intensive e-sports related enterprises, advanced e-sports supporting technology, high-quality school education resources, and a huge audience and e-sports enthusiasts. However, with the rapid development of the industry, the phenomenon of talent gap and unequal supply is becoming prominent. It is expected that Shanghai will continue to expand its advantages and attract the attention of the global e-sports community.

E-sports education is not just "teaching people to play games"  

  Narrator: Visiting Professor, School of Animation and Digital Art, Communication University of China, co-founder and COO of Hero Sports VSPN Zheng Duo.

  In 2018, I was hired as a visiting professor at the School of Animation and Digital Art of Communication University of China, and offered compulsory courses such as e-sports event planning and production, e-sports event broadcast and execution, and e-sports introduction for students majoring in digital media art in digital entertainment and e-sports.

  Compared with the prosperity of e-sports in China, there is a serious shortage of personnel in the e-sports industry. E-sports education in China has not yet formed a unified standard and a complete theoretical system, and practice and teaching are not unified. Many people have a great misunderstanding about e-sports education, and think that e-sports education only teaches people to play games. In fact, e-sports professional player training is only a very small part of it, and e-sports education also includes many contents, such as commercialization, copyright, production and broadcasting of e-sports operation management. At present, there are few universities offering e-sports related majors, especially double-class universities, and there is a serious fault in undergraduate and above education.

  In the course of teaching, I found that young people have great interest in e-sports. Many college students have taken e-sports courses one after another, and they can always ask sharp and unique questions in class. I appreciate their active thinking and encourage them to practice in e-sports related industries.

  Students always ask me: how to judge whether I am suitable for employment in the field of e-sports? In my opinion, at least two questions should be considered: first, is it based on a high degree of love and interest? Although e-sports is a sunrise industry, it will encounter many tests of physical fitness and professional ability. When it is painful, doubtful and shaken, it needs heartfelt love to support it. Secondly, do you know enough about the industry prospects? Although the benefits of e-sports are high, it may not be suitable for everyone. We should rationally choose our specific position in the industry. For example, it is a good choice to work in an event operation company or a game company, but most students should not aim at professional players.

  I am deeply touched that e-sports is valuable because of its positive attitude, fighting spirit and positive values. While developing professional e-sports, we are also cooperating with relevant organizations to improve a series of systems to prevent teenagers from indulging in games and guide them to develop their personal hobbies correctly.

Hold on! For the dream of sports competition  

Narrator: TS Adou, champion of E-sports Beijing 2020 the glory of the king World Champions Cup.

  In 2017, I worked in a restaurant run by my parents and played games in my spare time. It happened that the glory of the king City Competition was held in Hangzhou. I teamed up with several good friends to try, but I didn’t expect to win the third place. I realized that I had some potential in e-sports, so I took part in the club trial.

  In training, I found that I was good at playing the auxiliary position (protective hero), so I decided my task was "with rhythm" — — Constantly help and cooperate with teammates, and tell them what to do, and help them adjust their mentality when the team is in a bad state.

  Although the training pressure is great, I think professional e-sports is very attractive — — We can fight for collective honor with our teammates, and there are many fans who support us and get the dream and passion of competitive sports from us.

  The game that impressed me the most was the World Cup in 2020. The previous lineup of the rival DYG team was very fierce, and we almost collapsed.

  In the third game, we adjusted our tactics and replaced them with a strong offensive lineup. Everyone cheered each other up and gritted their teeth, and finally turned defeat into victory after losing three games in a row, defeating their opponents with a record of 4: 3. Now that I think about it, my heart is still surging.

  Professional e-sports is very different from playing games, and its elimination mechanism is cruel. I haven’t had a chance to play a game for a long time, and I have a lot of worries about the future. I only persisted with confidence. Every time we hold a players’ meeting, we will replace about 20% of the players compared with the last one. The cruelty of competition is self-evident. Sedentary, less exercise, staying up late, and irregular work and rest are the normal life of e-sports players, so the physical discomfort and vision problems brought by them also plague every e-sports player.

  E-sports is a veritable "youth meal". I was born in 1998 and I am about to retire. I have thought about how to arrange my life in a few years. Dropping out of school is my biggest regret all the time, so I want to go to college and study literature after I retire. I want to be a poet since I was a child.

E-sports career commentary: laughter, tears and growth

Narrator: KPL professional league commentator/host linger

  At the end of 2017, I was a sophomore majoring in broadcasting and hosting in China Communication University. Because I usually like watching e-sports competitions, I participated in the selection of e-sports commentary.

  Compared with professional hosts, e-sports commentary is an unknown "blue ocean". The e-sports industry emphasizes its own growth and efforts. An e-sports team will face the risk of dissolution if it doesn’t win the championship. Even the star players who have won five FMVP (Finals Most Valuable Player Award) often face the pressure of being rotated as substitutes. E-sports commentary is also facing a similar severe test — — Exam once every six months, ranking with multi-dimensional scores every month, and start the mechanism of elimination or decentralization.

  The teacher told me: "E-sports commentary is like being a tour guide. You should explain the competition in a fascinating way." In order to avoid the serious "academic" hosting style, I keep watching videos, adjusting my language style, and often send explanatory videos to my parents, who will give me a lot of useful advice from the perspective of ordinary audiences.

  The first time I explained the competition was on April 29, 2018. In order to get ready, I didn’t sleep for almost three days and nights and printed a thick stack of materials. Commentary needs to be improvised, so be prepared for all possible situations in advance. In addition to professional knowledge, I also recorded which heroes each contestant had played, their winning percentage, team characteristics, tactical style and how many times they had played against opponents. In addition, I went to their Weibo and friends circle to learn about their daily training and personal characteristics, trying to make the explanation more vivid.

  In the webcast, netizens can spit in the barrage at any time and express their ideas through various channels. It’s hard to adjust people’s opinions. I’ve also seen netizens’ comments and crying.

  If you ask me why I like e-sports and choose to explain the industry, I want to tell a story: in 2017, I watched the third KPL professional league finals in my dormitory. Two teams, QGhappy and XQ, played against each other. In the end, the XQ team missed the championship. When they passed the championship trophy, Artest looked up at the trophy, his eyes were full of nostalgia, longing and indomitable spirit. This look touched me greatly. Now I have changed from an audience to a practitioner, and Artest has also turned to be a commentator, and I have become colleagues and friends. This kind of fate is the beauty of e-sports as I understand it.

Professional players never run away and will not choose to surrender.

Narrator: Agirl female professional team player Liu Liu

  In 2019, when I was a freshman, I saw the recruitment poster of e-sports players in my circle of friends. The coach said that my strength can try to play professional league. So, with the support of my family and counselors, I dropped out of school to participate in training.

  Judging from the situation in previous years, the development of female e-sports players is more limited than that of male players. The proportion of female players is not high, and there are few female team competitions. Most girls are relatively sensitive to emotions, more susceptible to the surrounding environment and more anxious about their age, so they should constantly adjust their state and overcome various difficulties in training. Fortunately, more and more attention has been paid to the selection and competition of women’s teams in recent years, which has given us more opportunities. In order to ensure the quality of training, everyone worked very hard, with the same intensity as the men’s team, and never lowered their requirements.

  Playing games before was not only fun, but also a way for me to relieve my academic pressure. After becoming a professional player, I found that "playing games" became a boring and even frustrating thing. We train for more than 12 hours every day, so we have to sit on the e-sports chair, unlike lying on the sofa to play. Sometimes in training, I feel very painful when I meet my teammates who are negative, but the coach will seriously educate us: never click the surrender button. I deeply remember the coach’s words: professional players never run away and will not choose to surrender at any time.

I hope she can learn to grow and gain happiness in e-sports.

Narrator: mother Liu Liu

  Liu Liu likes playing games since she was a child. After entering high school, her grades have declined a little. She plays games as soon as she comes home on weekends. We are opposed to this. Fortunately, Liu Liu did not lose control, and after adjusting her state, she was admitted to the university smoothly.

  One day soon after entering the university, Liuliu suddenly told us that she planned to drop out of school for several years and go to the e-sports club for vocational training. For e-sports, we are not ignorant. We have also seen the development of the e-sports industry in recent years and basically agree with this profession. But we are still worried: can this choice give children a chance to grow up? Will playing professional games and doing live broadcasts have an impact on your health? But Liu Liu is an independent and independent child with enough execution; So, I said to her, "How lucky I am to take my hobby as a career! It is one thing to succeed, but if you think about it clearly, you can try it. "

  This is the first time that Liu Liu entered the society. E-sports players all appear in the form of teams, and interpersonal skills are more important than personal achievements. Liu Liu often discusses with us who disagreed with her in the competition today and how she handled it. We don’t know professional skills, but we can discuss these problems with her and give her advice. We will watch the live broadcast of the competitions she participated in, and we are very happy to see her progress.

  Now it seems that Liu Liu is not a three-minute fever. She really works hard. We see that she has become more mature and intelligent, and this kind of thinking ability and life training will be very beneficial for her to engage in other industries in the future, so we are very pleased. I support her to go on, hoping that she can satisfy her interest and gain happiness in this process. Of course, I also want to remind parents that the story of June 6th may not be universal, nor can it be simply copied. Every child has different talents and should be guided patiently according to the specific situation. E-sports is a promising road, but there are also various temptations on the roadside. We must help children who are interested in it to think rationally and choose carefully.

The 30-year reunion of Cass San Diego in Alien touched by memories.

Bill paxton, James Cameron, Gale Anne Hurd, sigourney weaver and other masters created the reunion comic exhibition.

 

1905 movie network news There are many scenes of Cass reunions at this year’s San Diego Comic Con, such as the re-released version of Mi Shuai and dominic purcell who plays his brother. But no American TV series or movie can bring you great emotion like this.

After 30 years, the card god is white-haired and everyone is old, but their memories have not faded.

 

Alien, released in 1986, won two Oscar technical awards, including best visual effects and best visual editing, and the heroine sigourney weaver was nominated for best actress.

 

Card god looked at several familiar faces on the stage and was deeply moved. Over 60 years old, he said with emotion: "The moment to prove the value of this film is at this moment."

 

At that time, the biggest breakthrough of Alien was that Cameron added his own humanistic elements to the original classic of ridley scott in 1979. The character Ripley played by Ginny Weaver was more powerful than in the first episode, and the character’s struggle in the past was also very touching. Coupled with a lot of gun battles and explosions, the whole movie not only explained the emergence of Alien, but also made the audience deeply remember the protagonists.

 

In January, 2015, director neill blomkamp released a series of special-shaped concept maps, which seemed to be independent films. However, this rumor has not been recognized by Fox Pictures or Card God.

 

Ginny Weaver said, "I like neill blomkamp very much, but even if there is Alien 5, I won’t play it, because for me, it’s already finished."

Concept map created by blom Kemp

 

Regarding the sequel to Alien that blom Kemp may shoot and the prequel that Scott is shooting, he said, "blom Kemp explained his thoughts on the sequel to me, and I think he can finish the preparatory work immediately. It will be a very postmodern alien, but I don’t know their story at all, but I like that to some extent, the two films can form a parallel space, not completely independent."

Ka Shen, a professional sequel, also revealed: "Making a good sequel requires the director to find a very appropriate balance point, which is between innovation and nostalgia. The sequel story can neither be too regular nor too biased, which will kill the audience."

 

At present, Cameron is busy filming and making the next four sequels. For Alien, Ka Shen holds an attitude that it is better to miss each other than to meet each other.

Supreme Leader Leads China’s Economy "New" "High" and "Degree"

"The new normal will bring new development opportunities to China."

  On May 10, 2014, when the Supreme Leader visited Henan, he pointed out,China’s development is still in an important period of strategic opportunities. We should strengthen our confidence, proceed from the current stage characteristics of China’s economic development, adapt to the new normal, and maintain a strategic normal mentality.This is the first time that the word "new normal" has appeared in public view. On June 13th of the same year, the Supreme Leader made his first appearance as the leader of the Central Financial and Economic Leading Group, made accurate decisions, and steered China’s economic giant ship smoothly in the cold current of the global economy.

  Since then, the supreme leader has repeatedly emphasized the word "new normal" at important central conferences and international conferences, and made a profound analysis and exposition on how to understand, adapt to and lead the new normal.

  The Supreme Leader summed up three characteristics of the new normal of China’s economy:speed— — "From high-speed growth to medium-high-speed growth",structure— — "The economic structure has been continuously optimized and upgraded",motive force— — "From factor-driven and investment-driven to innovation-driven".

  Under the new normal, China’s economy is gradually evolving to a more advanced form, a more complicated division of labor and a more reasonable structure.

  "What do you think?" "How?" "How?"

  The first is to be "stable":Carry out the general tone of steady progressGrasp the balance, grasp the opportunity, and grasp the degree; The second is to be "new":Guided by the new development conceptStimulate market vitality and social creativity, and new kinetic energy continues to increase; The third is to be "excellent":Take supply-side structural reform as the main lineOptimize the economic structure and improve the coordination of development.

  From 2013 to 2017, China’s economic operation remained in a reasonable range. In 2017, China’s total GDP reached 82.7 trillion yuan, accounting for about 15% of the world economy. China’s economy grew by 6.8% in the first quarter of 2018. Compared with the major economies in the world, the pattern of China’s economic leadership has not changed.

  Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, faced with the external environment of weak recovery of the world economy, frequent local conflicts and turmoil, and aggravated global problems, the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core has initiated profound changes that have completely changed the economic development mode of China with great strategic vision, great political responsibility and superb control ability, which has enabled China’s economy to maintain steady growth and significantly improved its comprehensive national strength.

SASAC organized and guided the central enterprises to fully support the earthquake relief work of Sichuan Ganzi Luding M6.8 earthquake.

CCTV News:WeChat official account, September 7 (Xinhua)-At 12: 52 on September 5, an earthquake of magnitude 6.8 occurred in Luding County, Ganzi Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province, causing heavy casualties and property losses. The State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission (SASAC) immediately mobilized and organized the central enterprises to respond urgently and act quickly, and went all out to invest in earthquake relief work. Central enterprises resolutely implement the decision-making arrangements of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council on earthquake relief, and mobilize their forces in the fields of electric power, communication, oil and gas, construction, etc. according to the requirements of SASAC and the arrangements of Sichuan Province, and devote themselves to emergency rescue. Communications, electric power and other enterprises spare no effort to repair damaged facilities and restore communications and power supply as soon as possible; Oil, grain and oil enterprises actively provide oil, food and other relief materials, and strive to provide logistical support for disaster areas; Other relevant central enterprises immediately deployed emergency teams and machinery and equipment to rush to the disaster area to repair roads and bridges and search and rescue trapped people. As of 8: 00 on September 7th, relevant central enterprises have invested more than 3,000 rescue personnel, more than 1,400 rescue equipment and vehicles. Central enterprises are concerned about the people in the disaster areas and actively fulfill their social responsibilities. Sixty-five enterprises have donated 1.168 billion yuan to fully support earthquake relief and restore production and living order in the disaster areas as soon as possible.

In the next step, the SASAC and the central enterprises will thoroughly implement the spirit of the important instructions of the Supreme Leader General Secretary, resolutely implement the decision-making arrangements of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council, and continue to fully support emergency rescue, emergency supply and post-disaster reconstruction in the earthquake area, making positive contributions to effectively protecting people’s lives and property.

Remember him: more poor! The 33-year-old fireman fell to his post forever for rescue and disaster relief.

  CCTV News:In the early morning of yesterday (20th), a firefighter was unfortunately killed in the front line of mountain flood relief in Wenchuan, Sichuan. He is a Tibetan boy named Gengsiqiong. Let’s put the time back to the moment when he received the police.

  At 2: 20 in the morning, the alarm sounded, and some people were trapped by flash floods. A full-time fire brigade of Shuimo Town, Wenchuan County and seven people immediately went to the rescue. Unexpectedly, only 2 kilometers after leaving Shuimo Town, their vehicles were trapped by floods.

  Nengji, a full-time fireman of Shuimo Town, Wenchuan County, Aba Prefecture, Sichuan Province"The captain organized us to get on the roof. After getting on the roof for a few tens of seconds, our car was flooded immediately, and then many branches rushed down and scattered us."

  The water level is getting higher and higher, and the firemen climb the trees beside the road to save themselves. Even poor and captain Xin Yang are clinging to the same tree. The flood was so powerful that both of them were quickly swept into the flood.

  Yan Xiaolin, a full-time firefighter in Shuimo Town, Wenchuan County, Aba Prefecture, Sichuan Province: "When they were washed away, the headlights were facing the sky. At that time, I clearly saw two headlights in the water and then they were washed away."

  Three hours after losing contact, in the early morning, two kilometers away from the accident site, Gengsi poor was found, but he was killed.

  More poor, 33 years old, worked in this position for nearly 9 years. Yesterday, I should have taken a vacation, but I fell to my post forever.

  Residents of Shuimo Town, Wenchuan County, Aba Prefecture, Sichuan Province: "Too young, we are particularly sad."

  Residents of Shuimo Town, Wenchuan County, Aba Prefecture, Sichuan Province"Heroes, the greatest heroes, we are grateful to them from the heart, because we are all victims, and we are particularly distressed by them. We just passed by to see them. After seeing them, I feel particularly uncomfortable because they are just like our children, which makes us too sad."

  Yesterday (20th) afternoon, the rain continued in Shuimo Town, and even more poor, but his teammates were still working hard to rescue.

Protests in the French conflict continued, and King Charles III of England postponed his visit.

  [Dong Ming, special correspondent of Global Times in France] After French President Macron was interviewed on TV on Wednesday, the wave of protests against the reform of the retirement system in the French has become increasingly violent. According to Agence France-Presse reported on the 24th, King Charles III of England, who was scheduled to leave for France this Sunday, will postpone his visit. Macron said on the 24th that the trip may be adjusted to early summer. Reuters commented that the postponement of the visit plan would be a "great embarrassment" for Macron. In his original vision, Charles III’s visit would mark a symbolic step taken by France and Britain to resolve the bad relations between the two countries after Britain left the European Union.

  According to reports, this trip to France should have been Charles III’s first overseas visit since he ascended the throne, but his visit to Germany will continue as planned next week. A British government spokesman said: "After the French President asked the British government to postpone the visit plan, the relevant decision was made with the consent of all parties." Buckingham Palace said that the king and queen of England "are very much looking forward to visiting France as soon as the date is set".

  According to Agence France-Presse reported on the 24th, French Interior Minister Darmanin said in an interview that 457 people were arrested and 441 security personnel were injured in the protests that swept the country on the 23rd. A large number of demonstrations broke out throughout the country, and some of them turned violent, especially in Paris. French police believe that many NGOs have been mixed into the protesters in Paris. These violent elements not only burned trash cans during demonstrations, but also smashed shop windows on the street. According to the report, during the most violent protest day since January, there were 903 fire spots on the streets of Paris.

  Violence has spread from the capital Paris to other provinces. In Bordeaux, a wine-producing region in southwest France, there were also clashes between protesters and police, and the gate of the city hall was set on fire. Paris and Bordeaux are exactly on the route that King Charles III of England originally planned to visit France. Before the news of the postponement of the visit came out, the French trade union organization that called for the general strike even said that "the red carpet for welcoming the king of England could not be paved." Ricketts, former British ambassador to France, commented on 24th that postponing the visit was a "difficult decision, but understandable". "A state visit is a time to celebrate, and now is not the time." He wrote on Twitter.

Pick up the neighborhood: Is "partner" socialization the antidote to loneliness?

The seemingly insignificant "weak relationship" has been proved to improve positive emotions and reduce people’s risk of depression.

A "blind box" stranger gathering

This is a gathering between strangers, 4 girls and 3 boys.

Abollo Wang was the organizer of this activity after 1990s. Before coming to his home, only two of the seven people knew each other. What kind of party is this? What will they talk about? What brought them together?

Qu Yuan, a post-95 girl, is one of the strangers’ parties. During this "May Day" holiday, she was not attracted by the Zibo barbecue which was popular all over the country, nor did she take pictures in crowded scenic spots, nor did she choose fashionable outdoor activities for young people. She surfed the internet social platform and finally locked in a book club not far from home.

In Beijing, book club activities are very common. Some are held in business districts in downtown street scenes, while others are looking for secluded cafes or bookstores. With drinks, tea and refreshments, young men and women get together to discuss trendy concepts, hot gossip or cutting-edge concepts. The most important thing is that it is a convenient way to spend a long time, whether you meet like-minded people or not.

Before leaving, Qu Yuan was a little curious about the reading party held in a private home. She described the party as "a bit like opening a blind box".

During this period, "partner" socialization has become a hot word on the Internet, frequently appearing in large and small entries and media reports. Food partners, travel partners, sports partners and movie partners, class partners in school and fishing partners in work. From the definition of network, "partner" refers to a social relationship formed by a common interest or common demand.

The "psychological" social distance with anonymity and fuzziness is the main reason to attract Qu Yuan to sign up. This social way not only satisfies her curiosity about "people", but also enables her to find a relatively comfortable way of communication. It’s like "you can quickly understand this person’s life, and if you don’t take the initiative to contact, you won’t bother each other again."

Different from the close relationship between family members and close friends, psychologists and sociologists call this relationship "weak relationship" or "marginal relationship". Earlier, The New York Times published an article entitled "Although they are only acquaintances, they are very important to you", saying that these seemingly insignificant "weak relationships" have been proved to enhance positive emotions and reduce people’s risk of depression. "Weak relationships are important for our emotional and physical health." Gillian Sandstrom, a psychologist at the University of Sussex in the UK, said.

In Gillian Sandstrom’s early research, she made clear the importance of "weak relationship" and young people’s mental health. By distributing handheld clickers to undergraduate students and young people over the age of 25, she recorded the number of interactions between the subjects and classmates or strangers in a few days. Research shows that people who have more "weak relationship" interactions have a higher degree of happiness and belonging than those who have less interaction.

Back to the book club, the party was held in Abollo Wang’s home. Warm-colored couches and several camping chairs are arranged in a semicircle, and there is a long table in the north against the wall. Washed strawberries, pineapples cut into oblique triangles, fast food and candy are placed on the table. On the other side of the living room is a tall bookcase with all kinds of tools and books on it.

Abollo Wang is short and has a strong Cantonese accent. As soon as Qu Yuan entered the door, he saw that he was in full swing, warmly entertaining everyone to change shoes, find a place to sit down and eat fruit. Qu Yuan and his friends are sitting in the camping chair near the door, and the living room is accompanied by cheerful music, but it is hard to hide the tension. "I can feel that the host is trying hard to find a topic and enliven the atmosphere, but everyone doesn’t know it, and it is inevitable to be cautious." But soon, in the ice-breaking link, this group of young people began to get acquainted.

A few days later, when Qu Yuan recalled the book club, his memory was not as clear as it was that day. The male students studying in the police academy are a little stiff, the sweet girl who is a theater actress has a gorgeous life experience, and the two urban men and women who work in the education industry are peers. Qu Yuan admits that now she can barely remember the vague faces of these people. "This social way is unlikely to make friends who keep in touch, and I don’t expect it."

In fact, the social relationship based on the situation to find "relationship" can be traced back to Berlin, Germany at the end of the 19th century, when there were many small salons in the city. This kind of communication composed of industrial classes extends from the private space in the home to the debate and conversation in the public space. Through communication, it is easier to form empathy and understanding between people, find the fluctuation of life from concrete feelings and resonance, and form a connection with the world.

Different from the 19th century more than 100 years ago, why do contemporary young people have a strong demand for "partners"?

"Partner" makes the social circle of young people easier.

Shortly before attending the party, Qu Yuan left the film and television industry for two years.

Before resigning, Qu Yuan was already dissatisfied with the confusion of running logic and low salary at work. The film and television industry looks glamorous, and most of the employees are trained. They are art students who graduated from schools such as Chinese Opera, Nortel and Zhongchuan. But in fact, most people are film and television migrant workers who make wedding dresses for "stars" in front of the stage behind the scenes. The salary is low and the work intensity is high. "I feel that I can’t persist. This kind of work can’t give me the life I want."

The "small circle" culture among peers also makes Qu Yuan feel tired. According to Qu Yuan, she is an out-and-out "E" person (meaning extroverted personality in MBTI), so even in the film and television industry with mixed fish and dragons and impetuous environment, she can make good friends. However, due to the "complicated relationship within the industry", making friends with colleagues often requires social burden and maintenance costs. "Many people are nodding acquaintances when they go to work, and everyone really gets acquainted after resigning. “

The mutual prevarication among colleagues in the project cooperation, the interpersonal communication mode dominated by "relationship", and the lack of deep-seated script creation mechanism can be said that the impetuous industry atmosphere and social culture in the circle are the deep reasons for Qu Yuan’s decision to leave. She knows that "many industries are like this", but she is still eager to have opportunities for international communication in the industry and gain an extension in thinking and cognition when interacting with people from different circles.

Contrary to acquaintances’ socialization, strangers’ socialization highlights the rapidity and efficiency of interpersonal communication. Young people can cut off the original social links in similar activities and conduct private social exhibitions. Qu Yuan bluntly said, "I think this lifestyle, which is more suitable for young people, is more accurate and less entangled."

Anthropologist Xiang Biao believes that utilitarianism is an origin of "defamiliarization" social interaction. At this distance, people are safe, and there is no friction without contact. But this utilitarianism does not mean interest or competition, but more importantly, it is an assumption of human nature. In calculation and analysis, it is actually a self-protection mechanism to fossilize oneself into a "utilitarian".

The reason is that it is difficult for many young people to deal with complex emotions in life. Once people expect non-utilitarian and important life emotions, they will be in some uncertainty. "So after self-shielding, simplifying and ossifying the relationship, the world will become simple and controllable for them." Xiang Biao said.

Picking up the neighborhood is also picking up life itself.

Abollo Wang is the organizer and bystander of stranger activities. During the "May Day" holiday, he organized strangers’ reading parties, cocktail parties and escape from the secret room. Reading and cocktail parties are held in his home. From the release of activity information to registration, five or six strange young people can be attracted to participate in a few hours. The secret room set in Sanlitun has the largest number of escapes. "At first, more than 100 people signed up, and then more than 80 people came to the scene."

In Abollo Wang’s view, "distance" is one of the considerations for young people to find a partner. Among the activities organized by Abollo Wang and her partner Xue Yuwen, "Watching movies with strangers nearby" is the most popular. Before the activity begins, Abollo Wang will pair the participants in pairs according to their location. "It’s probably your neighbor or people in the same neighborhood who are watching movies with you, and this feeling is quite wonderful."

On another occasion, a doctor who worked nearby signed up for a movie. That doctor often has no one to talk to because of his busy work and many things. Later, he talked about his experimental scientific research and surgical pressure from the viewing experience. "I talked for two hours and talked endlessly. And he has seen this movie before. "

In addition, if the event is held in Sanlitun, Liangmaqiao and other places close to the embassy district, it will also attract the attention of foreign friends. "A Japanese boy came with a notebook, and we said that he was taking notes to learn Chinese." There is also an American diplomat. "He said that it is difficult for him to find suitable friends locally, so it is interesting to see this.".

In another way, "taking a child" socializes, allowing young people to find the "first 500 meters". Xiang Biao believes that in an atomized society, people should know the world around the neighborhood. In this life scene nearby, let individuals from different backgrounds meet constantly. "Understanding the different viewpoints of different people can make him pay attention to different demands when thinking about public affairs, whether it is transportation, garbage sorting or welfare reform. Nearby will bring people the observation ability they didn’t have before. "

However, it has also been suggested that whether fast and efficient social ways will once again aggravate the pace of life of young people? From strangers to friends and neighbors, and even close relationships, is it becoming more and more difficult to deepen communication?

"I don’t think this kind of socialization is very easy." Qu Yuan lamented at the end of the interview.

Li Jinkun’s artistic view of life.

  Li Jinkun is a leading figure in Guangdong’s literary and artistic circles and Lingnan painting circles. With deep thinking and a strong sense of responsibility, he practically leads Guangdong’s fine arts to a new milestone in the new era.

Respond to the changes of the times with one’s own creation

  Face the contemporary era, learn from the past and learn from the present.

  Li Jinkun, who lived and grew up in Lingnan, inherited the important idea of "eclecticism between China and the West, blending the ancient and the modern" put forward by Lingnan School of Painting in his artistic creation. Facing the 21st century, China is gradually moving towards the center of the world stage, and the significance of China culture is attracting more and more attention from the world, and the times call for a new cultural attitude, how to deeply think about China culture? What is the position of China’s fine arts in the world? How can Guangdong fine arts start again under the pattern of Greater Bay Area? And responded to the changes of the times with his own creation.

  △ Li Jinkun’s Cangshan is like the sea and the setting sun is like blood. In 2019, 338cm×1082cm paper ink was heavily colored.

  Li Jinkun believes that Guangdong fine arts need to put forward their own opinions in this great era, and his answer is "to face the present, establish China and study the west, and learn from the past". The so-called "face to face with the contemporary", explained by Li Jinkun, is to look at the world art with a head-up attitude and the role of China art in the world pattern. You don’t need to look up to others to show your humility, and you shouldn’t look down on the world and think highly of yourself. "Establishing China and Studying the West" is a promotion of the "compromise" of Lingnan School of Painting. It is no longer necessary to find a balance point between China and the West like the predecessors, but to study and learn from Western art directly from the standpoint of China. China art has become an important style in the world art with its own independent system. "Learning from the past" emphasizes the role of China’s art history in the current art development. The long history of art can be used as a scale for the development of art at present. It reveals the milestone that China art has gone through in history, and how to use it as a supporting point to develop the art of the new era.

  "Re-compromise" and "Post-Lingnan"

  Naturally, Li Jinkun also integrated his thinking on the road of art development into his own creation. He went deep into the roots and sources of ancient painting, studied from his predecessors and carved traditional techniques. Copy ancient painting classics, such as Fan Kuan’s Journey to Xishan Mountain in the Northern Song Dynasty. This process makes Li Jinkun think about the proper meaning of his Chinese painting while groping for the traces of his predecessors.

  △ "Song of the Yangtze River" 300×800cm 2021 Jinkun’s creative team in 2021 — — Li Jinkun, Lin Yangjie, Murphy, Tao Huang

  "When I was studying in the late 1980s, I found that Lingnan School learned about the West through Japan at that time, but only borrowed from the technology of Japanese painting. With the advent of reform and opening up, the road to development of Lingnan painting school must be more open, and we should explore it in a new pattern. " Therefore, in the early 1990s, Li Jinkun put forward the practice of "re-compromise", which was formally manifested as a series of colorful explorations. "The Lingnan School of Painting took the art of the Song Dynasty from the tradition at that time. At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, the whole painting world was filled with retro atmosphere, as well as Ming and Qing painting ‘ Exquisite ’ But the picture is weak. The artists of Lingnan School of Painting believe that the Southern Song painting is large and powerful, which can wash away the delicate style of painting, so they follow its example. In the process of learning traditional techniques, I further set the object of imitation at ‘ Shen Xiong and Bo Da in Northern Song Dynasty ’ Go. The study of western art mainly focuses on the fine arts after the Renaissance and since the 20th century, and focuses on the great people who have trans-generational significance to the West, such as Rembrandt, Delacroix, Cezanne and Van Gogh. Thus, the ‘ Re-compromise ’ Take the law. "

  Guided by the belief of innovation and change, Li Jinkun also participated in putting forward the concept of "post-Lingnan". Lingnan painting school had developed for nearly a hundred years at that time, and these young students who grew up in the tradition of Lingnan painting school were not satisfied with just inheriting the styles and techniques of Lingnan painting. They want to stand on the shoulders of giants and see how the world’s fine arts create more possibilities in generate. Li Jinkun said: "At that time, we naively proposed that we should make a broader exploration than Lingnan School. ‘ Houlingnan ’ The concept of "the" came into being. The so-called ‘ Houlingnan ’ It is a cultural proposition, and it also pushes the Lingnan artistic spirit of innovation and change to infinite possibilities. "

  After this idea was put forward, it attracted a lot of attention and doubts from the industry. However, after nearly 30 or 40 years of development and evolution, this sudden cultural phenomenon left a notch in history. "Post-Lingnan" has become an important artistic phenomenon in the development of modern and contemporary Chinese painting in Guangdong, and it is an important topic in the cultural research project of the 30 years of reform and opening up sponsored by Guangdong Federation of Literary and Art Circles, which has been repeatedly discussed and planned for exhibitions. Li Jinkun said with a smile, "These young boys who were full of cultural ideals in those days have now become the backbone of Guangdong’s innovative creation of Chinese paintings. The exploration of that year was effective. I believe that as these people gradually explore achievements in their respective fields, ‘ Houlingnan ’ The concept will become an interesting historical phenomenon in the development of Guangdong Lingnan Painting School. "

  Present and future works

  Li Jinkun wants to re-paint some of his previous works into 10-20-meter paintings, highlighting a magnificent atmosphere. He tried to make those things that were not very distinctive in Guangdong paintings become distinctive. "This style of exploration has given me an unprecedented and brand-new visual experience. It will be very interesting to do such artistic exploration in Guangdong. Although it won’t be a great thing, I have reason to believe that it is still a very unique style. I think that in the history of the development of art, there will never be a place for imitators. "

  Li Jinkun’s works seem to have Japanese "ukiyo-e" painting style, but in fact they contain the spirit of painting in the Song Dynasty. By comparing them with China’s classical paintings, we can identify the most authentic essence of China’s paintings. Any part carried out can be confirmed by the characteristics of brushwork and technology of traditional Song painting. This is also a way for Li Jinkun to return to tradition.

  △ In a small painting with a size of only 18 by 25 cm, Li Jinkun drew more than 200 characters.

  In a manuscript painting of "Cangshan is like the sea and the setting sun is like blood", which is 18 cm by 25 cm, Li Jinkun actually painted more than 200 characters. In the process of challenging himself, he also felt quite interesting. On a small canvas, we need to consider many factors, such as space layout, brush stroke control and so on. Each person’s head may not even be the size of a sesame seed, but the dynamics and expressions of the characters are vivid: in depicting the war scenes, some people show their consternation when they are dying; Someone opened his mouth and shouted and screamed; Some people’s dumping has led to a chain reaction of more people’s postures … … In a small picture, such fine details can be presented, which is inseparable from the artist’s creative spirit of "wrestling with yourself".

Balance and development under multiple identities

  For some time, Li Jinkun has combined many roles: president of Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts, president of Guangdong Painting Academy, curator of Lingnan Painting School Memorial Hall, chairman of Guangdong Artists Association, chairman of Guangdong Federation of Literary and Art Circles, and vice chairman of China Artists Association … … For ordinary people, multiple identities will bring a lot of troubles, but Li Jinkun thinks that it also brings multiple spaces to try, so that he can find out how the industry can get through comprehensively and experience unprecedented professional development ideas.

  Guangdong Artists Association is a group organization that organizes artists in the province to create; Guangdong Painting Academy is a highland for creative research in Guangdong Province. Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts, with more than 800 high-level teachers, is a gathering place for talent training; Guangdong Federation of Literary and Art Circles, with a variety of artistic cultures, plays a role as a link for cross-industry artistic exchanges; Lingnan painting school memorial hall is a highland for regional cultural research; Guangdong Art Museum is an internationally influential exhibition hall … … Li Jinkun’s professional skills meet with the development of fine arts. "Talent training, fine arts creation, systematic organization, exhibition and publicity are integrated, which has brought unprecedented convenience to my career in the past few years, and also created the integrity of this fine arts system that can not be ignored in Guangdong fine arts circles throughout the country. The professional resources and cooperation of Guangdong fine arts have enabled this province to make a steady transition to a big cultural province and a strong fine arts province. Only by mutual cooperation, mutual support and joint efforts with various academic institutions in Guangdong can the art work be done well. This is my most important experience and experience in recent years. It has condensed and displayed all my ideals and ambitions in the past few decades and completed a number of art projects with everyone. "

  A landmark event in the performance of duties

  In 2017, Li Jinkun participated in the "New Life — — Guangdong Fine Arts Centennial Exhibition "is the first large-scale exhibition held in Guangdong Province to systematically review and summarize the history of Guangdong fine arts in the past 100 years. In 2018, on the 40th anniversary of the reform and opening-up, China Artists Association commissioned Guangdong to hold an exhibition to turn political events in China people’s minds into art and record history with images. Guangdong Artists Association hosted the "Pearl River from the Spring Tide — — The National Exhibition of Fine Arts Celebrating the 40th Anniversary of Reform and Opening-up has attracted national attention. In 2019, during the 13th National Art Exhibition, Guangdong Artists Association undertook the task of hosting three exhibition areas in one province, which showed a good sense of social responsibility. At the same time, Guangdong was also the province with the largest number of people selected for the 13th National Art Exhibition. In 2021, in the centenary of the founding of the Party, the "Guangdong Art Exhibition Celebrating the Centenary of the Founding of the Communist Party of China (CPC)" was held to examine how Guangdong artists stood on the tide of the changing times and recorded the Communist Party of China (CPC)’s great achievements in the past century with their brushes, which also attracted the attention of the whole country. The History of the Party in Fine Arts Classics, sponsored by CCTV, contains 100 works, of which Guangdong accounts for 15. Glorious course — — In the exhibition of major historical sculptures celebrating the centenary of the founding of the Communist Party of China (CPC),Thirteen works were selected in Guangdong.

  △ In 2015, the second European sketch was highlighted in 93x61cm.

  As the president of Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts, Li Jinkun is also very concerned about the affairs on campus. "I don’t even let go of a tree and a pile of grass on campus. From a group of students to a supermarket, there are concerns. In fact, I just want to improve the teaching experience of art education and art education in China, so that students can study in a pleasant atmosphere and teachers can find it interesting to work here. How should I perform my duties when I become the president of the Academy of Fine Arts? How to implement what you usually see and think? I really need to work with my colleagues. Fortunately, in the past few years, the work concepts of the leaders and colleagues around me have been very compatible, and there has been a history that I think is very harmonious and meaningful in the art world. "

  In addition, with the support of the provincial party committee and the Foshan municipal government, the "Foshan Campus of Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts" promoted by Li Jinkun and funded by the local government is in full swing. This 500-acre modern art education hall with billions of investments is not only a great effort devoted by Li Jinkun to the construction and development of his alma mater, but also his contribution to the cultural construction of Foshan, his hometown, and his ideal place to build a new highland of Guangdong’s art education. He believes that Foshan Campus will be built into a first-class innovative school in Greater Bay Area in terms of school-running concept, hardware and school-running conditions under the development planning of Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.

  Self-development and social influence

  Li Jinkun, who has many jobs, didn’t do more personal publicity and solo exhibition during this period, and didn’t participate in various commercial activities. He said, "This is my personal choice. I didn’t come to this work platform until I was older. I want to make the best use of this time, take on the responsibilities entrusted to me by the organization, and realize my artistic and social ambitions. Therefore, my approach is to ensure important creation and important research, and temporarily put aside things that are of great help to myself and have little impact on society. For example, holding a personal exhibition is very important for expanding your academic influence, but it has little impact on society. "

  "In fact, the most difficult thing for a person is to make a choice between self and society. It is human nature to choose things that are beneficial to you, and it is natural and easy to implement. It is not normal and customary to give up personal interests. However, looking back, when you do something good for society, ‘ Ego ’ Won’t it also become ‘ Big ego ’ ? And the historical ‘ Big ego ’ , but also full of ‘ Ego ’ Wisdom and dedication. "

  Teachers in Li Jinkun also hold the attitude of unifying individuals and society. Both Mr. Li Xiongcai and Mr. Guan Shanyue used the skills and abilities endowed by the society flexibly to draw pictures reflecting the times and grasping the development with artistic pens. Motivated by Si Qi, Li Jinkun also took the example set by his predecessors as a sign of progress. He said frankly: "The motive force for everyone to do things may not be so high. However, because there are sages in front of you, when you use them as a scale to follow suit, you will tell yourself to give up something very reluctantly. I think this kind of self-game is the most interesting. Sometimes, convince yourself to give up ‘ Personal needs are too difficult. Because of yourself ‘ A nod ’ I passed, but it still takes spiritual strength to turn this point of restraint into a linear life. "

  Self and social service in art

  Being an "artist" means finding a balance between self-individuality and serving the society. Artists have the need to make public and express their individuality, and fulfilling the requirements of society often needs to convey some common ideas. Li Jinkun pointed out the contradictory and unified core: "As an artist, you have to have depth and personality, but as a role serving the society, you can’t have too much personality. This is contradictory, but it needs to be unified. Just because you have artistic personality and talent, you will have the working strength endowed by art, be recognized by people, and have the opportunity to serve the society. In the process of service, one’s own personality has not disappeared, and it can be accepted by people. That is the level that a major should have. After artistic personality and artistic responsibility become working methods, artists can serve the society more professionally in terms of professional work and management ability by realizing the function of service through their own artistic level. "

Philosophical thinking on artistic life

  Reality and dream

  Li Jinkun likes to use a spare chapter engraved with the words "After a long separation, a famous mountain dreams". This means that although people live in real needs every day, it does not prevent them from returning to famous mountains and rivers ideologically and having a yearning for elegance and nature. "When I am busy and irritable, when I am confined to my work and give up a lot of freedom, I can still use my dreams to return to places I have been to, or places I have never been to and exist in my imagination. I can’t go, my dreams can always come. Once there is such a sustenance, people’s spiritual world will immediately become clear and calm. In reality, there are naturally things that go wrong, so how can it be better than the dream situation? If you have a dream, you can reach the place I think is the best by your dream. " On the contrary, once people’s ambitions are displayed, everything can pin their dreams. Li Jinkun’s carefully decorated studio is surrounded by flowing water. "Many people don’t understand, how can I turn such a big space into a waterscape? I have created such an environment, which shows that I can put my dreams in my dreams and put them around me. " People don’t have dreams, they can only watch many beautiful feelings run away, but people have dreams and are always ready for them, and they can do what they want as soon as there is a gap.

  Everything is the best arrangement.

  After decades of accumulation, Li Jinkun thinks it is the best arrangement in life to get to this point today. "If it weren’t for so many experiences and twists and turns, one would certainly not have accumulated the ability to solve related problems in a short time. For example, how far an exhibition is placed and what demands it responds to are accumulated through grassroots exercise, which is an experience that cannot be learned in any book. All the experiences of life, all the pains, all everything, are prepared for the best blooming moment. " Li Jinkun said with emotion, "From the perspective of my life, this accumulation time is too long, so I will cherish it and try my best." He wants to shine in his place, just like a flower in spring, desperately releasing accumulated energy.

  Treat yourself and others.

  Li Jinkun studied the development path of many previous painters and modern painting schools, while studying others, he was also thinking about how to deal with himself. He believes that if a person wants to learn to be self-sufficient, he must understand his role in society, where he can reach, and how to be self-sufficient in the corresponding position. "The place seems to be for yourself, and it will actually affect the surrounding area. Everyone can do his own thing perfectly, because he knows the cold and the hot. It is difficult to do the same to others. How to treat people and things with a self-centered attitude may be the biggest test for me. Pushing yourself and others, I think it is the highest realm of China cultural people’s self-care and life. "

  Li Jinkun cited a fable as an illustration. For example, if a plasterer wants to make a doorway, how to grasp the size? First of all, if you can walk in yourself, others can walk in. This is the working spirit and principle of a plasterer. Confucius said, "Don’t do to others what you don’t want others to do to you." On this principle, it means treating others with yourself.

  He also cited his other party’s leisure chapter "waking up three provinces" as evidence. "Three provinces, that is, ask yourself: How about yourself? How do you treat others? What did others do to you, and then what did you do? Especially the last question, if others are friendly to you, you will definitely be friendly. But in case someone is unkind to you, how do you respond? What do you do when others hurt you? Then you can see a person’s realm. The most important thing for people is to ask themselves, which is very interesting. "

  Creative space as self-world

  The space switching between public space and private studio also shows that Li Jinkun is constantly moving between the two roles with ease. Li Jinkun’s role as a "social man" is to rush about in the workplace and serve the art industry and the public. When he returned to his studio, he entered a quiet world of himself. He returned to the "ego" side, cooking and cleaning the house. He not only painted wonderful sketches, but also painted large-scale creations, and even created a series of installations, sculptures and other works of art, and made many exaggerated attempts, being casual and unconstrained. He once again became a jittery artist, a painter who struggled with himself and pursued perfection in front of drawing paper.

  Over the past few years, Li Jinkun has really worked very hard for Guangdong fine arts. A series of national exhibitions of great significance, the study of individual art cases and the collation of artistic historical materials, the vigorous growth of artistic seedlings, and the birth of academic and award-winning works & HELIP; … There are also the construction of colleges and universities, the implementation of the new campus in Foshan, the acquisition of doctoral degree authorization points, etc., all of which have a profound impact and continuous development, and also constantly establish Guangdong’s cultural self-confidence and enhance the status of Guangdong fine arts in the country.

  As for Li Jinkun himself, he seldom participates in social activities, personal publicity and holds a solo exhibition. He said that artistic creation is a lifelong matter, and great painters are chosen by time and history. It doesn’t count if they say it themselves, and it doesn’t count if they find someone to say it. If the people behind really want to talk about me, it will be enough to say, "Li Jinkun really did some meaningful things and painted well.".
