World Reading Day "Digital Reading" Makes Visually Impaired Readers Feel "Scholarly"

    Xinhuanet Chongqing April 23 rd (Chen Yushi Liu Liu Tan Xin) "Although it is just a small dot display, there are thousands of books such as A Dream of Red Mansions and Romance of the Three Kingdoms, which I can touch anytime and anywhere." In Mingyuehu International Intelligent Industry Science and Technology Innovation Base in Liangjiang New District of Chongqing, the blind Li Yong (pseudonym) is enjoying reading time through Braille e-books.

    Braille dot display, audio column, audio reading room … In order to meet the increasing reading needs of visually impaired readers, in recent years, Chongqing has been exploring digital technology to improve the reading experience of the blind. Nowadays, in Chongqing, "digital reading" is helping more visually impaired people to realize barrier-free reading by hearing and touching, and let them feel "scholarly".

   Braille Point Display Portable Braille "Library"

    The developer of Braille Dot Display is a senior student of Chongqing University. In a summer social practice, I found that a Journey to the Center of the Earth, which is read by ordinary people, has only 142 pages, and the price is only tens of yuan, while the Journey to the Center of the Earth, which is made into a braille book, is three thick books, and the price needs several hundred yuan. "At that time, I thought, can you make an e-book so that visually impaired people can read whatever books they want?" Memories. After that, Tan Tan set out to form a team and began to develop the Braille dot display.

    In the early stage of research and development, Tan Tan and his team went to Chongqing Special Education School for investigation, and attended classes with visually impaired children there for many days to understand their thirst for reading and the difficulties they faced.

    Design, production, improvement … With the joint efforts of all members of the team, it took only three months, and the first version of the Braille point indicator was successfully released. This dot display is shaped like a tablet computer without a screen, with rows of Braille characters on it. It can not only read existing Braille e-books, but also transcode a large number of books into Braille through software.

    After the first finished product was made, Tan Lian sent it to the blind couple he knew for trial, and the other party gave comments and suggestions after a period of trial. "Good place is convenient, there are a lot of books to read in the point display, but there are still many details not done. For example, in Braille reading, the distance between the two’ dots’ that make up Braille should be within 2.5mm, so as to achieve the best reading experience, but the distance between the’ dots’ of this dot indicator is 3 mm. " The couple said.

    After getting feedback, Yan and the team’s friends started to iteratively upgrade the products. After more than a year of fighting day and night, in February, 2024, the team finally produced the second brand-new version of the Braille dot display sample. In order to solve the problems of heavy appearance, narrow application scene and high production cost of Braille dot display, this dot display has gone through 9 iterations and 6 user tests.

    "This pointer is very small, and there are many books inside, just like a portable library. When I used to read a paper book in Braille, I touched it for a long time, and the points on the book became more and more blurred. Now I don’t have to worry about this problem anymore. " Blind Li Yong said.

    According to the introduction, this point indicator is expected to be introduced to the market in the second half of 2024. In the future, he hopes it can help more blind people read and see a wider world in books.

   Reading with sound feels the "light" of reading with sound.

    In Chongqing Library, Li Wenrong, a blind man, entered the visually impaired reading room along the blind road. After sitting down, she picked up the earphone in front of the computer and began to listen to audio books.

    In order to let blind people swim in the sea of books and share books like ordinary readers, in 2007, Chongqing Library opened a visually impaired reading room. At present, there are more than 17,000 books in Braille and more than 6,100 audio books in Braille in this reading room. "We have equipped this reading room with smart readers, multi-functional digital visual AIDS and other equipment to facilitate visually impaired people to enjoy reading and know the world through voice reading." The person in charge of the reading room said.

    When Liu Wei, a 31-year-old visually impaired person, first came to Chongqing Library, he was deeply attracted by all kinds of advanced barrier-free reading facilities. "I heard that there is a Braille printer in the library, which can print the text materials we need. I want to try it next time." Liu Wei said.

    In addition to Chongqing Library, libraries in many districts and counties in Chongqing have also set up visually impaired reading rooms. In order to make more visually impaired people feel "scholarly", in 2022, Chongqing Disabled Persons’ Federation launched the "Reading with Sound" Internet audio column for disabled people through the "Chongqing Disabled Persons’ Federation" WeChat WeChat official account and the "Himalayan" platform, and has released 5 albums and nearly 80 programs. Disabled anchors can share good articles such as growth inspiration, literary classics and red classics here, and bring every disabled person to a wider world with warm words.

    Yu Fujun, who has a first-class visual disability, runs a massage shop for the blind. "I have always liked reading. Reading can not only let me know the outside world, but also let me apply the medical knowledge I have heard to massage work and improve my skills. " Yu Fujun said that in the future, he wants to listen to more books to make his life more interesting.

    Nowadays, with the popularity of "digital reading" in Chongqing, more visually impaired people like Fu Jun have achieved barrier-free reading. "Digital technology has opened a window for us to make up for our lack of vision and help us integrate into society and enjoy life more freely." Yu Fujun said.

Think of that year | "Han Tianzi": At that time, Huang Xiaoming didn’t understand greasy.

Editor’s note: This is a nostalgic theater.

When it comes to The Son of Heaven, the first thing that people think of is Huang Xiaoming, who was still very young. Twenty years ago, who would have thought that this handsome and domineering young man on the TV screen would become a middle-aged greasy and overbearing president who didn’t want you to feel it, as long as I felt it?

Stills of The Son of Heaven, Liu Che (Huang Xiaoming), Emperor of the Han Dynasty.

In fact, what has changed is more than Huang Xiaoming. Looking back at "The Son of Man", you will find that the TV dramas in those days were so simple and pure, and perhaps far from the classics, but the good thing is that they are not as "smart" and calculated as today’s hit dramas.

The historical authenticity of "The Son of Man" has always been a weakness that has been violently vomited by netizens. But perhaps, everyone criticized in the wrong direction from the beginning. This drama is not so much about Liu Che, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty in history, but rather a youthful version of "Joking about Hanwu". Take Huang Xiaoming’s performance, for example. The whole drama, especially Liu Che in the first half, is more like a heartless silly boy, who has nothing to do with the well-known Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

Poster of "The Son of Man"

The lines of this play are also not flattering, and modern words such as "mom", "boyfriend" and "girlfriend" are mixed among them, which makes the audience very dramatic. The timeline is also very chaotic. Someone just said to Liu Che that "Your Majesty has been in the throne for more than a year", but Nian Nujiao told Dong Fangshuo that "this is the first anniversary of our acquaintance". As for the age of Huo Qubing and Dong Fangshuo, it is also a complete muddle.

Therefore, if someone watches this drama with the attitude of historical textual research, it is obviously the wrong set. This is a large-scale youth entertainment idol drama, that’s all, there is no need to look up at it because of our childhood filter.

Stills of "The Son of Man"

Having said that, the role of this drama in the development history of China TV plays should not be underestimated. It is about the same historical figure, the same historical era, and there is another very successful TV series "Hanwu the Great" in the same period. Unlike "The Son of Man", which gathers a large number of young idols and popular stars and entertains history, "The Emperor of Hanwu" not only takes the path of drama, but also vaguely shows the shadow of elitist culture.

After entering the new century, the film market in China is quietly changing, and it is difficult to make a profit from pure art films, which leads to a large number of film directors marching into the field of TV series, and Hu Mei, the director of Hanwu the Great, is one of them. At the same time, we can also see Li Shaohong’s Ci of Daming Palace, Wu Ziniu’s Granary in the World, Yang Yazhou’s Empty Mirror, Chen Kaige’s Lyu3 bu4 and The Story Of Diu Sim, and so on.

Therefore, whether it is word of mouth or ratings, The Son of Heaven is not inferior to the performance of Emperor Hanwu, and it has also become a watershed in the development of China TV dramas: art gradually gives way to commerce, and entertainment functions gradually replace educational functions, which is also the normal situation that China TV dramas continue to enter the market.

Dou Taihou (Chen Shali)

But it must be clarified that elegance or popularity is only the narrative means and expression style of TV series, and it is not the decisive factor of the quality of the works. "The Son of Man" is not fake in business, and it does contain a lot of historical details in magic change, but it does not lack positive and correct values.

For example, Princess Pingyang in the play was forced to get married by Dou Taihou after her widow. The night she tried to commit suicide, she was saved by Nian Nujiao. At that time, Wei Zifu, who was still a maid, took the road instead. Liu Che heard the news and rushed to intercept it. "Wei Zifu doesn’t marry Huns either!"

Princess Pingyang (Emily)

In terms of status, Wei Zifu is just a handmaiden; In terms of interpersonal relationship, Wei Zifu can’t compare with her sister Princess Pingyang; Personally, Wei Zifu is also willing to sacrifice himself to avoid war. In spite of this, Liu Che did not think that Wei Zifu was an insignificant person, and he was determined to save her fate. Liu Che’s announcement that he would no longer kiss each other surprised the messengers, and made us feel the preciousness of this play-respecting the dignity of every character and every specific "person" is more important than anything else.

Wei Zifu (Wang Ling)

For another example, Liu Che in the early stage was carefree and loyal, and hung out with his good brothers Guan Fu, Guo Scheeren, Li Ling, Zhang Tang, etc., which was a bit like a "silly fool". Unfortunately, after the TV series entered the second half, those precious brotherhood soon fell apart. Zhang Tang is jealous of talents, and an accident is inevitable; Irrigation husband cowardice, hurt friends; Li Ling suffered injustice, but she finally got love.

Liling (Liu Guanxiang)

The death and separation of these good brothers seems to be accidental, but it is inevitable. They didn’t realize their relationship with Liu Che in the end. In the face of power, only the monarch and the minister, no brothers? At the end of the TV series, Chen Ajiao was abolished, Nian Nujiao and Dong Fangshuo flew away, and Liu Che was indeed above ten thousand people, and indeed the loneliest one. Later, the second and third films of The Son of Man did not give up criticizing and exposing the imperial power. Although "The Son of Man" is only a commercial drama to entertain the public, its understanding of the nature of power is very clear.

It can be seen that it is not important whether the TV series is commercialized, but what is important is what kind of three views it conveys. This year’s "Moonlight over Mountains and Rivers" strongly highlights the "human touch" of the imperial family, and makes Zhu Yuanzhang’s royal family look like the "old Zhu family" of ordinary people. This is not only a blunt plot setting, but also a major misunderstanding of history. On the other hand, The Dream of China, which was a big hit recently, was both a joke and a magic change. However, because it pointed out the themes of gender equality and women’s independence (although it failed to be implemented in the end), it won the support and praise of the audience. In this regard, today’s commercial TV series should really learn from "The Son of Man".

Liuling (Lily)

For example, many female characters in this play are more stereoscopic and rich than the clever Zhao Paner. The one that impressed me the most was Liu Ling. Although she was a veritable female villain in the play, she was extremely attractive. Beauty and scheming are her best weapons, and they can do whatever it takes to achieve their goals. However, that smile and cross-flow will make the audience feel that she can never be attached to any man, or that she simply despises any man.

She was so bad that she was so brazenly bad that she became a prisoner near the end, still smiling and smiling. This openness makes the male villains like Zhang Tang, who wander in the gray space, seem to be eclipsed. Such unforgettable female villains are almost extinct today. It seems that today’s screenwriters don’t even know how to write a bad guy.

Second, Nian Nujiao, an understanding and charming girl, is not only beautiful and intelligent, but also a natural soul who loves freedom. Liu Che, the son of heaven, fell in love with her at first sight, but she was unmoved. Dong Fangshuo was always the only one in her heart.

Nian Nujiao (Alyssa Chia) and Dong Fangshuo (Chen Daoming)

Dong Fangshuo dare not accept Nian Nujiao’s love, because he has his own ambitions, and he knows best the truth of accompanying a gentleman like a tiger. What he fears most is that he can’t give Niannujiao happiness. Nian Nujiao hid in the karaoke room and specially danced a song "There are beautiful trees in the East" for him. He asked, shouldn’t there be Jiamu in the south? In fact, how could he not understand why Nian Nujiao was changed to "Oriental"? How could Dong Fangshuo want to miss such a good girl who never bowed to power and devoted herself to pursuing true love?

I especially like the ending of "The Son of Man". Seeing Liu Che’s madness on the throne of the emperor, Dong Fangshuo decided to join hands with Nian Nujiao to retire to the mountains. Nian Nujiao asked, "Where are we going now?" Dong Fangshuo pointed to her heart and her own and said, "I will come to you, and you will come to me." This is really the most touching love story in the world.

"Classic Love Words" in "The Son of Man"

The most important thing is, over the years, I have watched the so-called "Big Lady" step by step to reach the peak of power and start a so-called "career", but I miss Dong Fangshuo and Nian Nujiao’s free and easy and wise. When I think about it carefully, the TV series at that time didn’t have excessive peeling, soft light, exaggerated special effects and filters. Just like Huang Xiaoming, he didn’t know what greasy was, and he didn’t cater to the needs of fans and traffic blindly. This sincerity is perhaps the most valuable place in The Son of Heaven.

Reporting/feedback

There are some truths you need to know. novel coronavirus’s means of infection have been exposed.

This Spring Festival, we have not had a good year, because of novel coronavirus.

At the request of the government, weNo New Year greetings, no dinners, wearing masks when going out, and washing hands frequently when going home.

We know these requirements, but we don’t know why.

This has led to some people being scared, extremely sensitive, and feeling that they are being poisoned all day.

There are still some people who don’t take it seriously at all. They can’t even wear masks at any time.

Today I’m going to give you a lecture on popular science.How did novel coronavirus infect ordinary people? 

one

In novel coronavirus, the transmission route adopted is the most awesome air transmission.

The reason why air transmission is so severe is that it is concealed, but in fact, the scope of infection is not large.

Can be spread through the air, can be described as pervasive, the scope of infection is not large?

In my articles on pneumonia in Wuhan these days, I once told you that the so-called air transmission is not through the air in essence, butTransmission by droplets.

The virus can’t exist alone without the carrier. Without the droplet, it is nothing.

The infectivity of droplet transmission is the strongest within 3 meters, and the maximum is no more than 10 meters. Generally, 5 meters is very safe.

In fact, the mode of infection of pneumonia in Wuhan is highly similar to that of a cold. If there are no droplets, there is no infection.

Most of the droplets are produced by sneezing.

What exactly is a droplet?

Here is a video about the secret of cold infection. I think it is very good. It is also applicable to replace the cold with coronavirus. 

Humans evolved the ability to sneeze, which was originally intended to drive away the dirty things attached to the nasal mucosa, but this function was used by viruses and became the best means of virus transmission.

When a sneeze goes down, countless viruses and bacteria spread along the droplets within 10 meters around, which is droplet propagation.

In a closed environment, these droplets can even exist in the form of aerosol, hovering in the air for several hours without landing, and being continuously inhaled by you.

The British "Daily Mail" once reported:

People suffering from upper respiratory diseases such as colds sneeze indoors in public places, and the pathogenic microorganisms contained in them can attach to handrails, seats, door handles and other places where people are constantly scratching and touching them within 2 seconds, and can infect 150 people with cold virus within 5 minutes!

This is the reason why we look for "close contacts" and ordinary people in the same car as the patients as soon as we find the infected people. 

Moreover, this droplet can not only be inhaled by you through the respiratory system, but also spread through the conjunctiva if a large droplet happens to fall in your eyes.

Some time ago, a medical expert was infected through his eyes, and the source was the patient’s droplets.

The best way to deal with this kind of droplets is to wear a mask.

The body of the virus is nano-scale, so tiny that no mask can stop it.

However, the virus must be attached to droplets to have the vitality to spread, which makes it possible to stop the virus.

Take N95 mask as an example. This mask has a blocking rate of more than 95% for particles of 0.3 micron, and the size of droplets, generally 1~5 microns, can be easily blocked by N95 mask.

Stop the droplets, we stop the virus.

Except N95, most ordinary masks actually have strong protective functions.Even if you cover it with a towel, it’s much better than nothing.

Anything that can stop the droplets is meaningful to isolate the virus.

Wearing a mask contributes a lot to the eradication of coronavirus. On the one hand, it can protect you from the virus, on the other hand, it can limit your own sneezing within the mask to protect others.

This double protection makes the mask a well-deserved epidemic prevention artifact.

In addition, although coronavirus is spread by droplets, if this droplet floats on your hands and you rub your eyes, touch your nose and lips without washing your hands when you go home, you will be infected as well.

Therefore, it is obviously an airborne coronavirus. Besides wearing a mask, you are also required to go home and wash your hands. This is the reason.

Say so much, is to let you go out and wear a mask honestly, don’t take any chances, a sneeze can spread millions of bacteria and hundreds of millions of viruses.

But you don’t need to panic too much, because the human body is naturally extremely resistant to all viruses, even novel coronavirus. 

2

As I said just now, a sneeze can spread hundreds of millions of viruses and instantly fill all the spaces around a few meters.

Can these viruses infect hundreds of millions of people?

Dream, it’s good that such a small amount of virus can infect one or two people.

Many people think that as long as they come into contact with the virus, they will die.

But in fact, even if the virus is new and infectious, it needs a certain amount to infect human beings, and sporadic viruses are useless.

Even with HIV, not everyone who comes into contact with HIV will get sick. The more the first contact, the greater the probability of getting sick.

A virus can infect the human body and then spread to the whole human being. This kind of thing only exists in science fiction.

After successfully infecting human body, bacteria will divide once every 20~30 minutes, and the number will double.

One E.coli, assuming that it reproduces every 20 minutes, how many E.coli can you guess after two days?

After 8 hours, you will get 16.77 million Escherichia coli.

After 10 hours, you will get 1.07 billion E. coli.

I won’t list the figures behind, there are too many zeros, and it doesn’t make sense for you to read them.

In two days, you will get a big lump of E.coli, the total weight of which will exceed that of the earth. . .

Viruses reproduce much faster than bacteria.

Therefore, it is impossible for the human body to allow bacteria and viruses to multiply at such a high speed. If they continue to multiply at this speed, even beneficial bacteria can kill people within 24 hours, because the nutrients in your whole body are not enough for bacteria to use.

The only reason why you were not killed by germs within 24 hours is because your immune system works all the time, successfully suppressing germs and destroying their breeding environment.

It takes time for the human immune system to respond. It needs to identify abnormal proteins in the body and issue instructions, so that immune cells can have a clear target without accidentally injuring ordinary cells.

Bacteria and viruses that invade the human body need to breed a considerable number before the immune system reacts, in order to survive the first wave of encirclement and suppression of the white blood cell army.

It is inevitable to be constantly killed by white blood cells, but as long as the number of new reproduction exceeds the number killed by white blood cells, it means that the bacteria have successfully gained a foothold in you.

The immune system in your body will raise your body temperature, destroy the breeding environment of germs, and issue a national general mobilization order to mobilize all resources to expand the leukocyte army and carry out a new round of encirclement and suppression.

In other words, you are ill.

So just a few hours before the invasion of the human body, it is extremely critical that the base number of bacteria must be large enough to take the opportunity to breed a sufficient number in these short hours. So as to gain a foothold and survive the first wave of encirclement and suppression of white blood cells.

1 virus, and 10 thousand viruses, the difference is really too far.

Although in the later stage, you can spread hundreds of millions of viruses with a sneeze, 10 thousand viruses are worthless.

But in the early stage, the gap between 1 and 10 thousand is the gap between life and death.

The base of the invasion is large enough to be called a virus.

If the invasion base is not large enough, it becomes a vaccine. . .

As long as you isolate a large number of droplets through the mask and reduce the virus entering the body below the threshold, even if you encounter a small number of viruses, you will be fine. 

three

The reason why viruses and bacteria multiply so fast is that their mortality rate is too alarming.

In the human body, they are hunted by the immune system.

After leaving the human body, they die even worse.

When you sneeze, the virus in the droplets will lose its infectivity in the sun for only a few minutes. In the dark, the appeal can only last for a few hours.

On the surface of common objects, the infectivity can last for two or three days, and it can last up to 10 days in excrement.

Viruses are indeed more infectious than bacteria, but their viability is much weaker.

Spraying disinfectant in the form of aerosol can effectively destroy the environment inside the droplets and lead to virus inactivation.

And if in a ventilated open area, although the droplets will spread further, the virus density will drop geometrically and will soon fall below the pathogenic threshold, so the hospital pays great attention to ventilation and disinfection in order to reduce the virus density.

In ordinary environment, 3~5 meters is enough to ensure your safety.

According to the latest news on January 27th, Ceng Guang, a member of National Health Commission high-level expert group, expressed his attitude towards two cases of infants in Beijing. In principle, everyone is susceptible.

Coronavirus is terrible, highly contagious, and the route of transmission is hidden, and no matter men, women and children are spared.

But as long as we wear masks, wash our hands frequently and disinfect more, we will keep a distance of three to five meters from everyone.

Even if the few remaining coronaviruses enter your body,The end result can only be a vaccine. . .

Again:Wear a mask, wash your hands frequently, and disinfect more, three to five meters.

The developer sued himself for illegal sales. Lawyer: the buyer can claim compensation for the fault in signing the contract.

  Recently, real estate developer Xi ‘an Wentian Technology Industrial Group Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Wentian Technology") sued 12 owners for selling without a license to the court, which was deeply mired in the whirlpool of public opinion. Previously, another case of the same type involved by the developer has been decided to confirm that the contract is invalid. In this case, it is very unfavorable for these 12 owners. How should the owners protect their rights and interests?

  The developer sued himself for illegal sales and asked the court to confirm that the contract was invalid.

  According to media reports, a property buyer, Ms. Wang, said that in May 2016, she signed an internal subscription contract with Xi ‘an Wentian Technology Industrial Group Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as the developer) through a friend’s introduction, and purchased a house in Taxus Manor, and paid the full amount of more than 1.4 million yuan.

  Ms. Wang said that although it was known that the project had not yet obtained the pre-sale certificate, the developer promised many times that it was being processed. At that time, the fourth certificate was hung on the wall, saying that the fifth certificate was being processed, and it was promised that it would come down in three months at most, and the result has been dragged on. Until the beginning of this year, Ms. Wang received a notice from the developer, demanding that the previously sold houses be retired, which made Ms. Wang unacceptable.

  In February this year, the developer sued 12 buyers, including Ms. Wang, to the court, requesting to confirm that the internal subscription contract signed by both parties was invalid. The reason was that when signing the contract, both the original defendant and the original defendant knew that the yew manor project developed and built by the developer had no pre-sale permit, and the contract signed by both parties was invalid according to Article 2 of the Supreme People’s Court’s Interpretation on Several Issues Concerning the Application of Laws in the Trial of Disputes over Commercial Housing Sales Contracts and Article 6 of the Administrative Measures for the Pre-sale of Urban Commercial Housing.

  The reporter learned that it is a common phenomenon in the real estate industry to sell houses in Xi’ an without a pre-sale permit a few years ago, among which there are many well-known big real estate developers in China. In such a big environment, many ordinary people don’t pay much attention to the fact that developers don’t have pre-sale certificates, but in fact, they all live in peace. And like Wentian Company, it is very rare to sue yourself for illegally selling houses.

  Ms. Wang said that at the beginning, developers may have signed internal purchase contracts with them because of financial constraints, and asked for full payment. On May 3, 2016, when she bought the property of Wentian Technology Yew Manor, she only sold it for 7070 yuan per square meter after discount; Now the price of the property has risen to about 24,000 yuan per square meter, which is more than three times the original price.

  From this point of view, the reason why developers dare to sue themselves and expose their dirty linen is not that they have a conscience and want to be a law-abiding enterprise, but that they see the huge benefits brought by the sharp rise in house prices, which is far more than the fines generated by being identified as illegal and unlicensed sales.

  According to media reports, Xu Longguang, the former head of Wentian Technology, said that most of the 12 buyers were shareholders, employees, relatives and friends of Xi ‘an Jiaxing Marketing Planning Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Jiaxing Company"), the former marketing partner of Wentian Technology. He didn’t concentrate on not giving the owner the property, repaying the property he sold and suing the owner, not because of the rising house prices, but because the regulatory authorities ordered the repayment first. However, due to the break of the company’s capital chain, the repayment work lasted from 2016 to 2018, which was delayed.

  This statement has not been recognized by Jia Zhe, the head of Jiaxing Company. Jia Zhe said that when Wentian Technology was in the most difficult financial situation, he called the company’s shareholders, employees and good friends to subscribe for 10 properties to help Xu Longguang tide over the difficulties. In the end, he tore up the contract in pursuit of greater interests and sued these people to the court.

  Another case sued by the developer has been confirmed that the contract is invalid.

  It is understood that before the developer sued two other subscribers, the court had heard and pronounced that the contract was invalid, and one of the subscribers had appealed. Shortly after the judgment of the case, the house involved in the case obtained the "Pre-sale Permit for Commercial Housing" on June 8, and some buyers thought that the time when the pre-sale permit was issued was too strange.

  Article 2 of the Interpretation of the Supreme People’s Court on Several Issues Concerning the Application of Laws in the Trial of Disputes over Commercial Housing Sales Contracts published by the Supreme People’s Court in 2003 stipulates that the pre-sale contract of commercial housing concluded between the seller and the buyer shall be deemed invalid if the seller fails to obtain the pre-sale permit certificate of commercial housing, but it may be deemed valid if the seller obtains the pre-sale permit certificate of commercial housing before the prosecution. The house involved did not obtain the "Pre-sale Permit for Commercial Housing" until June 2018, which also became the reason why the court found that the internal subscription contract signed by both parties was invalid.

  Hu Yongping, a lawyer of Beijing Horizon Law Firm, said, "Judging from this provision, the court’s judgment is well-founded and there is no problem. However, the court does not have to choose to confirm that the contract is invalid, and it can also reject the developer’s appeal based on the principle of fairness and good faith. "

  Lawyer Hu Yongping thinks that this verdict is very unfavorable for the next 12 buyers. The qualification requirements of administrative licensing mainly take into account the public service attributes of some industries, so as to provide convenient conditions for service demanders to find qualified service providers more conveniently. In this sense, the qualification requirements are more like administrative mandatory provisions than effective mandatory provisions, and it seems that they should not affect the effectiveness of contracts.

  Hu Yongping said, "Generally speaking, the relationship between the violation of qualification requirements and the validity of a contract should be considered from the interests of the counterpart of the contract, and the contract should be deemed null and void, which sometimes causes direct damage to the interests of the counterpart of the contract. If the validity of the contract is more beneficial to the counterpart, the contract shall be deemed valid or the qualification shall be corrected. At the same time, it can also be considered that the lack of qualification is cured by the performance of the contract. For example, in the Judicial Interpretation of Construction Contract of Construction Project, if the contract is considered invalid, if the project quality is qualified, it can be handled with reference to the valid contract. With reference to the above provisions, the court can completely decide that the contract is valid. "

  Buyers can claim compensation from developers for "contracting fault"

  Article 42 of China’s "Contract Law" stipulates that in the process of concluding a contract, if the parties intentionally conceal important facts related to the conclusion of the contract or provide false information, and have other acts that violate the principle of good faith and cause losses to the other party, they shall be liable for damages.

  Lawyer Hu Yongping told the reporter, "Article 42 of the Contract Law establishes the liability system for contracting fault. In the process of concluding a contract, if one party fails to establish, invalidate or cancel the contract due to its own fault, it shall compensate the other party who trusts its contract to be effectively established for the damage caused by this trust. The specific scope of compensation includes not only the direct losses such as the contracting and performance expenses actually paid by the other party, but also the loss of the benefits that may be obtained by concluding an effective contract with a third party due to the trust of the validity of the contract, that is, the loss of opportunity. For the opportunity loss of these buyers, the loss of housing value-added benefits can be used as a reference.

  Therefore, these buyers can sue the court on the grounds of the developer’s fault in signing a contract, demanding that the developer compensate for the loss of the opportunity to buy a house. "

"Second Exposure" Fan Bingbing whiteheads overnight, double murder in a big reversal


Fan Bingbing with tears in his eyes


Fan Bingbing White Hair Styling


Fan Bingbing emotional performance


Fan Bingbing personally went into the water to shoot
 

    Directed by Li Yu and produced by Fang Li, the film starring Fan Bingbing, Feng Shaofeng, Huo Siyan, Yao Anlian, Chen Chong, Liang Jing and Kong Wei will be released nationwide on September 29. A few days ago, the film revealed for the first time a group of BingFan Bing with short white hair, which is very different from the shoulder-length curly hair shown in the previous stills. In the film, Fan Bingbing plays a cosmetic consultant full of puzzles, not only "one night white head", but also experienced a confusing "double murder". And director Li Yu also said that the "Song Qi" played by Fan Bingbing in the film will have a huge and surprising role "reversal" in front of the audience.

A night of whiteheads, Li Yu deconstructs the role of love and hate with modeling

    "The story of flowing water, the iron-clad Fan Bingbing" – When it comes to Li Yu’s film, many people will leave such an impression. As the director’s royal heroine, "Double Exposure" is the third film that Fan Bingbing and Li Yu have collaborated on. This time, she plays the capable cosmetic consultant "Song Qi" in the film. Although this beautiful and fashionable urban white-collar worker has no charm of young women and is not rebellious and unruly, it shows the beauty of mature women with a more atmospheric appearance. Compared with the bold breakthrough in China, this time Fan Bingbing is more "outstanding": in the latest set of high definition stills exposed by the crew, the star Fan Bingbing made a stunning appearance with short white hair, which is very different from the shoulder-length curly hair presented in the previous stills; this set of stills shows the dark side of the character of the film’s heroine "Song Qi", and its contrasting visual effects also make the audience look forward to the film.

    It is reported that this is also Fan Bingbing’s first appearance on the big screen as a white-haired styling. The idea of the white-haired styling comes from the original script of "Second Exposure", in which the heroine Song Qi suffered a series of life and fate twists triggered by a car accident just after graduating from college two years ago. She was caught in the psychological pressure of the "double murder" case, the hopeless struggle of love and hate, and the long and distant thoughts of lovers, which led to "white hair one night". Director Li Yu hopes that in the film "Second Exposure", he can figuratively show the extreme psychological pressure of "Song Qi" and the final sudden epiphany. And Fan Bingbing also particularly likes the presentation of white hair of this psychological transformation. She not only devoted herself to the performance, but also thought a lot about the styling, hoping that the effect of her "one night white head" could be more realistic. In order to ensure the shooting effect, the crew prepared a white wig for Fan Bingbing, which was painstakingly hand-knitted with a large number of old people’s white hair for several weeks. In order to make the visual effect of white hair more realistic, Fan Bingbing carefully arranged the wig before each shooting and repeatedly traced part of the hair with a black marker to create a layered gray visual effect.

Generative artificial intelligence has posed a major threat to translation?

The British Writers Association conducted this survey on translators in January this year. Respondents included 787 SOA members, and their work covered fictional writers, nonfiction writers, screenwriters, poets, journalists and translators. More than one-third of the translators interviewed lost their jobs because of the development of generative artificial intelligence, and more than 14% said that their translation income was reduced because of the development of artificial intelligence. When it comes to future expectations, more than three-quarters of the respondents believe that new technologies will have a negative impact on their income.
The survey also shows that 37% of translators use artificial intelligence to support their work. At the same time, despite the general threat brought by artificial intelligence, many translators still believe that the initiative of truly good translation works is still in the hands of human beings. Thomas Bunstead, a Spanish translator, said that "the job entrusted to artificial intelligence will be a simple job of putting butter and bread together". In the era of artificial intelligence, it is important to distinguish between "literary translation" and "commercial translation", and the former is still the territory of human beings.
Stills of AI times.
However, smalley, a translator, thinks that at least translators of popular novels such as crime and romance will get less jobs, and this process will inevitably raise the competition threshold for more complicated translation work. Ian Giles, co-chairman of the Translation Association, affirmed this trend. He said that since the beginning of 2023, his income from commercial translation has fallen sharply. As more and more translators switch to serious literary translation, this disguised situation has also made the situation of translators difficult.
The disadvantage of human translators is that publishers have a very positive attitude towards generative artificial intelligence. A publisher that Gilles worked for before has turned to a workflow called "post-editing", that is, the work is pre-translated by artificial intelligence, and human translators only check and adjust the translation results. Robert Carsten Carlberg, CEO of translation company Nuanxed, said that it is very important for translation companies and publishers to keep up with the pace of technology. "Integrating artificial intelligence into the translator’s toolbox will improve productivity without sacrificing quality".
In 2023, Duolingo, one of the largest language learning applications in the world, experienced several rounds of layoffs. According to the report of Washington post, many neighboring countries gradually laid off contract translators and contractors, and focused on the development of artificial intelligence. Sam Dalcy, a spokesman for the company, said that the company cut its outsourcing translation business by about 10% by the end of 2023. Benjamin Costello, a Russian translator from Baltimore, said that after being fired by many neighboring countries, he entered the application and used the courses he had written before, and found many mistakes. Maybe it’s to save costs, but it reduces the quality of the course.
In March of this year, many neighboring countries officially launched a dialogue mode based on GPT4 technology using OpenAI. They are also trying to use artificial intelligence to create sentences previously written by humans for language learning courses, but sentences written by "completely" artificial intelligence have not yet been applied.
Although the development of generative artificial intelligence is in full swing, Costello’s concern is not a case. Ben Karl, director of the American Translation Association (ATA), once said that translation tools driven by generative artificial intelligence have some fatal defects. For example, it does not perform well in dealing with the complexity of human language. Human language contains a lot of weird idiosyncrasies (for example, in different countries and regions, the common word "dinner" may refer to completely different meanings), which makes it difficult for current artificial intelligence to deal with it. At some point, the influence of mistranslation is disastrous. A report published in the British newspaper The Guardian in 2023 tells a vivid case: the dependence on artificial intelligence translation makes it impossible for asylum-seeking political refugees to pass through the customs and be rejected by the United States.
Ethan Mollick, an associate professor at wharton school, believes that the development of emerging hot technologies such as generative artificial intelligence usually creates a large number of employment opportunities, but it does not mean that most individuals replaced by automation can get these opportunities. Importantly, this trend will lead to the prevalence of odd-job economy, which will aggravate the risk and instability of work. Ofer Shoshan, CEO of translation company One Hour Translation, said in an interview with Forbes magazine that it is worthy of long-term attention whether artificial translation will launch a new "Lude Movement" for artificial intelligence in the future. To some extent, human translation is similar to the situation of 4 million truck drivers in the United States facing the development of automatic trucks.
