China employees face an invisible ceiling at the IMF: far from reaching the proportion of votes.

He Dong, assistant managing director of the Hong Kong Monetary Authority, will be promoted to return after leaving the International Monetary Fund (IMF) for 10 years, which has encouraged China economists who used to work for the IMF, but also triggered their reflection and emotion about Chinese’s invisible ceiling in the IMF. The proportion of IMF employees is similar to that of voting rights of member countries, but the fact that China’s voting rights in the IMF are lower than the proportion of GDP in the world and other reasons, such as cultural differences, have always led to the shortage of China employees working in the IMF.

China Business News reported on September 17th that the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) announced on September 1st that He Dong, the assistant managing director of HKMA, had tendered his resignation, which took effect on October 18th. He Dong will rejoin the IMF as the Deputy Director of the Bureau of Monetary and Capital Markets. This personnel change has aroused great repercussions among economists in China, especially those who have worked for the IMF.

He Dong, Assistant Managing Director of Hong Kong Monetary Authority, will be promoted to return after leaving IMF10.

The Bureau of Money and Capital Markets is one of the four core functional departments of the IMF. There are two ways to divide IMF departments. First, it is divided into five departments according to the region, including Europe, America, Asia-Pacific, Middle East, Central Asia and Africa; Second, according to the division of functions, it is divided into four departments: monetary and capital market bureau, financial affairs, research and strategic development.

Return to IMF

He Dong is the first Chinese to return to the IMF from Hongkong. He holds a Ph.D. in Economics from Cambridge University. He is responsible for the research on monetary and financial stability in the HKMA and is also the director of the Hong Kong Financial Research Center.

Chen Delin, President of the Hong Kong Monetary Authority, expressed "deep regret" for He Dong’s departure. He said that since he left the IMF to join the HKMA in 2004, He Dong has made great contributions to enhancing the research capabilities of the HKMA and the Hong Kong Financial Research Center.

A China economist who works in an overseas investment bank said,The Hong Kong Monetary Authority is equivalent to the central bank level. As the research director, He Dong has always been in the regulatory body, which is consistent with the perspective of the IMF.I am excited that he can serve as the deputy director of the Monetary and Capital Markets Bureau.

He Dong, assistant managing director of the Hong Kong Monetary Authority, will be promoted to return after leaving the International Monetary Fund (IMF) for 10 years, which has encouraged China economists who used to work for the IMF, but also triggered their reflection and emotion about Chinese's invisible ceiling in the IMF. The proportion of IMF employees is similar to that of voting rights of member countries, but the fact that China's voting rights in the IMF are lower than the proportion of GDP in the world and other reasons, such as cultural differences, have always led to the shortage of China employees working in the IMF.

He Dong joined the Hong Kong Monetary Authority after leaving the IMF in 2004.

He Dong worked in the World Bank and the IMF. Before joining the Hong Kong Monetary Authority in August 2004, he was a senior economist at the IMF..

He Dong is a low-key and steady person with a wide range of research topics, especially publishing many research articles on the macro-economy and financial markets in Hong Kong and the Mainland.

Many economists said that,He Dong has a deep research on the internationalization of RMB. On behalf of the Hong Kong Monetary Authority, he has been communicating with the People’s Bank of China on RMB internationalization and offshore RMB market in Hong Kong..

From professional staff to management level, jump four levels in ten years.

"He Dong has been promoted to Grade 4 in the past ten years. It is absolutely impossible for him to stay in the IMF." A former IMF economist in China said.

Before joining the Hong Kong Monetary Authority, He Dong had been an A14 economist at the IMF. This time, his level rose directly to B04, a senior management level.

According to the above economists, the IMF is divided into A01~A15 and B01~B05, where A is the employee level and B is the management level, and A15 to B01 is a hurdle in the position.

According to him, He Dong had the idea of returning to the IMF a few years ago. At that time, the IMF only wanted him to return at A14 level. This time, he was able to go back to B04 at once, which was "surprising".

According to the information of IMF’s human resources department, A01~A08 are logistics support employees, A09~A15 are economists and other professional employees, and B01~B04 are management-level employees.

B05 already belongs to the level of senior officials, such as Lin Jianhai, who became the Secretary-General of the IMF two years ago. Zhu Min, the vice president of IMF, is an executive director, which is an MD level outside the employee level..

An IMF spokesperson said that He Dong was appointed because of his experience and professionalism in the Hong Kong Monetary Authority.

Chinese faces an invisible ceiling at the IMF.

The above-mentioned economist who once worked in the IMF said, "The IMF has an invisible ceiling, and Chinese does not have its own circle in these institutions, nor can it enter other people’s small circles"; "Until now, I can’t tell the difference between baseball and American football. How can I communicate with other European and American colleagues?"

Compared with cultural differences, the lack of government-led promotion is a more important reason.According to informed sources, Japan, South Korea and other countries have similar cultures to China, but the Japanese government has an agreement with the IMF, and both the Japanese Ministry of Finance and the Bank of Japan will send management-level officials to the IMF. In China, however, there is no such arrangement, and exchanges remain at the middle and lower levels, and senior officials of the central bank are reluctant to go to the IMF.

The proportion of IMF employees should be close to the proportion of national voting rights, and China employees are far from reaching the proportion of voting.The person said. There are some junior China economists in the economist training program, but only a handful of Chinese can enter the management. He counted three people with his fingers broken, and He Dong was the fourth.

IMF China is understaffed.

The IMF was established in July 1944 with the aim of promoting international financial stability and monetary cooperation, promoting the development of international trade, high-level employment and sustainable economic growth, and reducing world poverty. Its scope of economic supervision has expanded from the initial balance of payments to the monetary, fiscal and monetary policies of member countries.

China’s voting rights in international regulatory bodies such as the IMF have been quite low.Emerging economies are playing an increasingly important role in global economic affairs, and their voting rights should be adjusted accordingly. Although China’s voting rights have been improved to some extent in the IMF and the World Bank, they still failed to meet expectations.

According to IMF official website, after the reform in 2010, China’s voting right rose from the previous 3.803% to 6.068%.

Zhu Min, vice president of IMF, said at an event recently,According to the IMF’s articles of association, the IMF is headquartered in the country with the largest shareholder, and the United States currently accounts for 15%.However, with the increasing economic aggregate of China, the IMF headquarters will move to China one day.

However, the lack of employees in China has kept this idea at the stage of shouting slogans.

 He Dong, assistant managing director of the Hong Kong Monetary Authority, will be promoted to return after leaving the International Monetary Fund (IMF) for 10 years, which has encouraged China economists who used to work for the IMF, but also triggered their reflection and emotion about Chinese's invisible ceiling in the IMF. The proportion of IMF employees is similar to that of voting rights of member countries, but the fact that China's voting rights in the IMF are lower than the proportion of GDP in the world and other reasons, such as cultural differences, have always led to the shortage of China employees working in the IMF.

IMF China is understaffed.

IMF jobs are not well paid but attractive.

He Dong’s return to the IMF this time is actually a salary reduction return. A former IMF economist said,The annual salary of the assistant managing director of the HKMA ranges from HK$ 4 million to HK$ 5 million (equivalent to RMB 3.17 million to RMB 3.97 million), while that of the B04 level of the IMF ranges from US$ 200,000 to US$ 300,000 (equivalent to RMB 1.23 million to RMB 1.84 million)..

The former IMF economist said that in fact, many China economists who came out of the IMF wanted to go back to the IMF.As an official institution, the IMF’s salary is not higher than that of foreign investment banks, but it is particularly attractive..

The IMF is a public institution where elites gather. As an economist, the perspective is from the official perspective of policy makers. This will greatly improve the research depth and quality of life for international investment bank economists who are exhausted and cope with market changes and customer requirements.

"Investment bank economists put it mildly, just like salesmen." The reporter of China Business News quoted a big bank economist as saying, "Occasionally, we will meet very difficult customers, but at the IMF, we are all faced with officials at the level of finance ministers."

In addition, China economists in the market are now in a state of oversupply, and the income and attractiveness of the private sector are not as good as before.

And the IMF also has generous benefits. A former IMF economist said,IMF income does not need to be taxed, and it provides a fixed retirement pension. Children’s education also has an annual allowance of 50,000 to 60,000 US dollars..

Such a carefree life, why did these China economists choose to leave in the first place? The above-mentioned people said that the IMF also has the problem of overstaffing.The IMF encourages employees to go to the private sector by leaving their jobs without pay, but if they want to go back to the IMF, they can basically only be rehired..

Many outstanding former IMF economists have chosen to transform themselves after reaching a certain level in international investment banks. Some have become strategists for private big customers, such as Ha Jiming; Some set up hedge funds on their own, such as Wang Qing; There are also more successful central banks, such as Ma Jun. This may be a loss for China, which wants to enhance its voice in international institutions.

I would like to introduce the new member of "5 million national sedan", Langyi Xinrui, with a title of "Volume".

LaVida, as one of the most classic of SAIC Volkswagen, has always been known for its excellent quality and good user reputation. Year after year, it ranks in the forefront of entry-level family car sales, and has repeatedly refreshed the sales history of a single model of SAIC Volkswagen brand. In 2022, the cumulative sales volume of LaVida models was 351,130, and the sales volume in December alone was as high as 41,501. SAIC Volkswagen once again demonstrated the hard power of the LaVida family to its opponents with sales volume.

"Yan value"+"eyesight" double high energy, starry front face+full LED headlights

LaVida Xinrui directly adopts the Volkswagen MQB platform, and adopts the same trend starry front face as Passat in the front face modeling. The large-area lattice energy stars drill down the grille, which strengthens the visual dive effect and creates a ready-made visual impact, making the whole front face more imposing. The brand-new in-line grille highlights the recognition of the LaVida family and always reminds you visually that this is still a LaVida.

I would like to introduce a new member of the 5 million world-famous sedan, LaVida Xinrui, with a main volume-Figure 3.

LaVida’s cutting-edge side design outlines the whole side through a forward-leaning and upward line, and the long front and short rear create a starting posture. LaVida Xinrui is obviously different from the current LaVida models. In terms of body size, the length, width and height of LaVida Xinrui are 4561/1740/1494mm and the wheelbase is 2651mm respectively. The vehicle is equipped with Ruiyi flower-shaped wheels, and the 16-inch wheels are visually harmonious, which makes the whole side look full and smart. Although the family style of LaVida still exists, it also shows its own unique style.

I would like to introduce a new member of the 5 million world-famous sedan, LaVida Xinrui, with a main volume-Figure 4.

The simple three-dimensional tail has a distinct sense of hierarchy, and with the blackened LED taillights, it brings a new sports visual experience. The duckling tail shape is also designed at the top of the tail to further enhance the sense of sports. The exhaust adopts a hidden design to avoid making the appearance too sporty. After all, the new car positioning is still an entry-level family car.

I would like to introduce a new member of the 5 million world-famous sedan, LaVida Xinrui, with a main volume-Figure 5.

The finishing touch of the appearance is the full LED headlights of the whole department, which are equipped with 18 LED beads. The shape of this headlight is three-dimensional and bright, and the details of the texture of the lamp bowl are handled with great care. The lighting effect of the LED light source at night is much more powerful than that of the halogen light source. Although the LED headlights are nothing new, the whole system is full of sincerity as standard.

I would like to introduce a new member of the 5 million world-famous sedan, LaVida Xinrui, with a main volume-Figure 6.

LaVida Xinrui is also inclined to be younger in the color matching of the car body, offering five colors: turquoise blue, cat’s eye blue, coral red, jade white and obsidian black, which can meet the aesthetic choices of consumers with different personalities. LaVida Xinrui’s more fashionable design and more dynamic body color matching are enough to attract the attention of younger consumers, so that they will be tempted at first sight and fall in love at second sight.

What you see is what you get, which is full of off the charts, and this lavida is not the same.

LaVida Xinrui adopts the Volkswagen MQB platform, which is characterized by the internal design of "super high room rate" and has obvious advantages in driving space, especially in the front row space. In the interior color matching, there are three themes: quiet blue, misty blue and misty gray, which echo the appearance color in style. The whole bridge still adopts the T-shaped layout of Volkswagen family history, and the familiar taste of Volkswagen models is still there. The car is also equipped with a skylight with a considerable area (0.42 square meters). After the sunshade is pulled open, the sun inside the car feels good.

I would like to introduce a new member of the 5 million world-famous sedan, LaVida Xinrui, with a main volume-Figure 7.

Compared with the color matching of space and interior, LaVida’s newly decentralized interior configuration is more worth pondering. The whole system comes standard with 8-inch full LCD digital instrument +8-inch multi-touch screen, and the ancient mechanical instrument has completely withdrawn from the historical stage on this model. In addition, the blessing of the family-style multi-function steering wheel of Volkswagen Group has substantially upgraded the sense of interior technology of an entry-level family car. Although the steering wheel is still made of entry-level materials, do you still care so much when you see these function buttons?

I would like to introduce a new member of the 5 million world-famous sedan, LaVida Xinrui, with a main volume-Figure 8.

The full LCD instrument can switch multiple pages through the buttons on the multi-function steering wheel. The whole UI interface is also very stretched, and the clarity of the screen is also in line with the times. Generally speaking, the comprehensive information of the vehicle is readily available, and the switching is very convenient. Blind operation can be easily realized after skilled operation.

I would like to introduce a new member of the 5 million world-famous sedan, LaVida Xinrui, with a main volume-Figure 9.

In terms of Zhilian interaction, LaVida’s cutting-edge is also something. In addition to its regular functions, the car also supports Apple CarPlay, Baidu CarLife and Volkswagen’s own SVW link, which can meet the links of various brands of mobile phone apps for users, and can also realize remote viewing of vehicle status, remote unlocking, locking and other operations. Of course, keyless entry and one-button start can be easily realized.

I would like to introduce a new member of the 5 million world-famous sedan, LaVida Xinrui, with a main volume-Figure 10.

Compared with other models of Volkswagen brand, the operation fluency of the car screen is relatively smooth, and there is almost no sense of stagnation. The theme of UI interface is consistent with the full LCD dashboard, and there is no sense of visual disconnection. There are eight functions in the car, including the adjustment of in-car entertainment system, Bluetooth phone, mobile phone interconnection, intelligent driving assistance settings and so on. The hierarchy and logic of the menu are clear, and the operation is not complicated. But a word of caution, when operating, try to park your car in a safe place to avoid accidents.

I would like to introduce a new member of the 5 million world-famous sedan, LaVida Xinrui, with a main volume-Figure 11.

Let’s take a look at the interior style of the vehicle. The one-piece seat adopts fashionable rhombic mosaic design, providing two kinds of seat materials, high-grade PVC leather and fabric. The seat filling conforms to ergonomic design, conforms to the body characteristics of Chinese people, and has good comfort. The seat’s hardness is moderate, and it has certain support when driving. However, when experiencing fierce operations such as emergency lane change, the body support is not so strong. After all, its positioning is an entry-level family car, so the performance of this seat can be achieved.

I would like to introduce a new member of the 5 million world-famous sedan, LaVida Xinrui, with a main volume-Figure 12.

The rear seats are equipped with child seat mounting buckles as standard, and all three seats are equipped with independent headrests, which can be adjusted up and down. Safety belts are standard on every seat. The leg space of the second row of seats is completely enough for daily riding, but the platform in the second row is not flat, so the passengers in the middle seat in the second row may not be particularly comfortable during long-distance riding.

I'd like to introduce a new member of the 5 million world-famous sedan, LaVida Xinrui, with a main volume-Figure 13.

In terms of space storage, there are as many as 28 storage spaces in LaVida’s new car, which perfectly explains the all-round attribute of entry-level family sedan. The storage space under the central armrest in the front row can accommodate 1-2 bottles of 500ml mineral water. The co-pilot’s glove box can hold daily small items such as high-speed bills, car wash cards, invoices and so on without any pressure. The door storage groove also meets the general setting of this level. Because there is no air conditioning outlet in the back row, it has been hollowed out accordingly, which can be used for temporary placement of small items such as mobile phones.

I would like to introduce a new member of the 5 million world-famous sedan, LaVida Xinrui, with a main volume-Figure 14.

Then move to the trunk, with a volume of 498L L. Visual inspection can accommodate four standard luggage case at the same time. Family travel takes into account the children’s equipment, and at the same time, it should not be a problem to load two 30-inch luggage case and a standard children’s car.

Entry-level family car, high-level safety, no increase in travel safety.

LaVida Xinrui still follows the German quality in safety issues. The whole system adopts high rigid body, and the proportion of high-strength and above steel (including thermoformed steel) in the whole vehicle is as high as 92%. The roof adopts laser welding technology, and UIR adaptive welding technology greatly improves the quality and stability of solder joints. The door adopts an integrated stamping structure, with built-in steel anti-collision reinforcement beams and diagonal braces. The whole system is equipped with 6 airbags as standard (front main and auxiliary airbags, front seat side airbags and left and right side window air curtains), which can effectively reduce the injury of members in case of impact.

I would like to introduce a new member of the 5 million world-famous sedan, LaVida Xinrui, with a main volume-Figure 15.

In terms of intelligent driving assistance, SAIC-Volkswagen has directly configured Volkswagen IQ. Drive intelligent driving butler for Xinrui, and has Lane Assist lane keeping system +AEB automatic braking system. During driving, when the vehicle speed is greater than 60km/h, the vehicle will scan the lane markings through the front windshield camera to ensure that the vehicle can keep driving safely in the lane. If the vehicle deviates, the system will give a warning and take the initiative to automatically adjust the direction.

I would like to introduce a new member of the 5 million world-famous sedan, LaVida Xinrui, with a main volume-Figure 16.

In addition, the vehicle is equipped with HHC ramp assist system and constant speed cruise function in the range of 30-180km/h, which can greatly reduce fatigue at high speed. Wide-angle reversing image and digital parking radar are also equipped on LaVida. For most novice drivers, these functions can greatly reduce the difficulty of driving and make driving more autonomous.

The classic power combination is excellent in quality, easy to open, controllable and energy-saving.

As an entry-level family car, in terms of power configuration, LaVida Xinrui adopts Volkswagen EA211 1.5L engine, with a maximum power of 110 HP (81 kW) and a peak torque of 141 Nm, and can use No.92 unleaded gasoline. With Aisin 6AT automatic transmission, this powertrain is a mature and reliable one. Although the power can’t be said to be strong, considering the audience of the model, the steady power output can guarantee the driving safety. After all, too strong power for novices will increase the driving burden.

I would like to introduce a new member of the 5 million world-famous sedan, LaVida Xinrui, with a main volume-Figure 17.

In terms of energy-saving properties, the standard Start-stop engine start-stop system of the new company can activate the system by stepping on the brake deeply when the red light is on, and the vehicle will ignite immediately when the green light is lightly touched by the accelerator. The vehicle will have a slight sense of jitter during the whole process, and the jitter will disappear immediately after the engine ignition is completed. It is worth noting that if the vehicle is in the mode of air conditioning operation, the start-stop system will be turned off by default, and the generator will keep running to provide power for the air conditioner to ensure the comfort in the car.

Write it at the end

Generally speaking, as a new member of the LaVida family of "5 million national sedan", LaVida Xinrui, with its bright and youthful appearance and interior performance, as well as sincere scientific and technological configuration, is sure to be favored by young consumers and become the first choice for a new generation of joint venture entry sedan. This will further consolidate the LaVida family’s strong position in this track. The new car is expected to be listed in June this year, and the cutting-edge starting price of LaVida will drop directly below 100,000 yuan. If the rumor is true, it may only be a matter of time before it becomes an explosion. Not only that, the new car is expected to directly stir up the independent brand market at the same level, and look forward to its listing.

The classic glimpse of the crown, the old crown that appeared in those movies

  [Pacific Auto Network, Culture Channel] As the first independently named car series under Toyota and one of the oldest car series, the Crown has a high reputation in various regions. In the past half century, the Crown has really carried too much wonderful history. At the same time, it is also a frequent guest in film and television works, incarnating as a "movie star" to shuttle through the joys and sorrows of the light and shadow screen. Next, the editor will take you back to the 1950s and take a look at the history of the Crown, see which famous films the Crown participated in, and see if the plot will evoke your movie-watching memories?

  Back in the distant 1950s, the Asian film industry flourished like never before, and both aesthetics and themes began to bloom. In our country, Hong Kong, the Shaw Brothers and Dianmao Company competed fiercely; in the East and the Pacific, the revival of literary films and works describing social issues flourished. During this period, famous directors such as Akira Kurosawa and Yasujiro Ozu also produced a large number of well-known masterpieces.

  As cars gradually enter the lives of the general public, a large number of films depicting urban reality have emerged, so you will find an elegant and refined car often appearing in the camera, shuttling through the streets and the main character’s story line, and it is the original Toyota Crown.

  How high was the exposure rate of the original Crown? In the 1950s and 1970s, it appeared in at least 600 films, almost growing up with the development history of postwar East Asian films. The Crown of that year took on far more important tasks than in the film. As the first model that truly represents Japan’s independent research and development, Toyota injected many innovative designs into it. For example, to make it easier for rear passengers to get up and down, it adopted a closed door; the front suspension was replaced by a freestanding model pioneered in Japan. At this time, the crown was crowned with the logo of Toyopet, which literally translates as "Toyota’s Beloved".

  After the launch of the first-generation Crown, the market performance exceeded Toyota’s expectations. Not only was it very popular in China, but also went to Europe and the United States. Therefore, Toyota did not hesitate to put the Crown in the position of the flagship of the group, making it the "pillar" of the Toyota family.

  When it comes to the 007 series of movies, I believe everyone knows that, in addition to the dashing James Bond and the graceful Bond girls, the most impressive thing is the design of the amazing car chase scene, but you must know that the car protagonist is by no means unique. In 1967’s "007 Thunderbolt Valley", the second generation Toyota Crown and the 2000GT sports car launched a chase war on the streets of Tokyo, and was included in one of the top ten classic scenes in the history of 007.

  In the film, when 007 left Osato Chemical Company, four of the boss’s confidants chased him out in a Toyota Crown and tried to shoot him from the car. At this time, a Toyota 2000GT came to the rescue of 007 at high speed, driving the secret agent beautiful woman Aki, a road chase began, bullets, the crown chased the 2000GT… At this time, a helicopter appeared in the sky, with a huge magnet, the crown was sucked up to the sky, 007 and beautiful woman Aki survived and drove away. This is a typical 007 plot, and the imaginative picture of the helicopter and the crown shook the world, and it is logical to be selected as one of the top ten classic shots in the history of 007.

  Back then, the crew chose the Crown as a big group car and launched a chase war, not just because it was a luxury car. The second-generation Crown, born in 1962, was developed during the "Iwado boom" and the highway boom, so the positioning of the new Crown must be spacious, luxurious and comfortable.

  Mechanically, the second-generation model was equipped with the first "X-type" chassis to improve driving stability, as well as cutting-edge technologies such as the M series straight six and the Toyotglide later stage. In the later stage, there was even a high-performance version of the CROWN S with higher power output. Of course, it was also the first large-scale sports sedan made in Japan.

  Toyota has added a lot of features to the crown one after another, but it has not increased the price. In the follow-up version of this car, electronic locks, air conditioners, electric windows, refrigerators, etc. have been added as standard equipment, which is full of sincerity.

  The second-generation crown further established the crown’s status as the flagship of the car series, describing the car in 1966 in Modern Car magazine: "The crown, which is extremely quiet and smooth to drive, makes the driving feel like the tire is running over the velvet." With such a high evaluation, it is no wonder that it has become popular in film history.

  Crown was also the first Toyota to be exported to China. After the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Japan in 1972, Premier Zhou personally participated in the negotiations the following year, introducing 200 fourth-generation models and then assigning them to the reception of the Canton Fair. Since then, Crown has officially entered the land of China.

  However, if the crown really became popular in China, it had to start from the seventh generation of the crown after the 1980s. Riding on the spring breeze of reform and opening up, the seventh and eighth generation crowns became household names, and naturally became one of the most common props in domestic films at that time. Just like in the 1950s, they continued to incarnate as "movie stars".

  (Crown figure in domestic films in the 1980s)

  The Seventh Generation Crown (1983-1987)

  The Eighth Generation Crown (1987-1991)

  The Eighth Generation Crown (released in 1991)

  The 10th generation of the Crown (1995-1999)

  As the big IP of the Spring Festival file, the "Detective Chinatown" series has received countless attention since the first one in 2015. This year’s "Detective Chinatown 3" has won 3.562 billion yuan to lead the Spring Festival box office. In the latest one, the theme city has come to Tokyo from Bangkok and New York before, and the prop car in the film naturally has a bunch of familiar faces, including a number of crown sedan series.

  In the movie, the Crown, in addition to its duty as a police car, is also the car that Liu Haoran and Wang Baoqiang drive through the streets of Tokyo – the 12th-generation Crown that we are all quite familiar with, and it is also a Royal Saloon model that is almost identical to the domestic version.

  When it comes to the 12th-generation Crown, it was introduced into China as early as 2005, which was the first time in the history of the Crown that it was produced in a country other than Japan. It is worth mentioning that this generation of the Crown focuses on the concept of "Zero Crown". From design to mechanics, it abandons the constraints of the past to create a younger Crown sedan, but the only constant is its unique oriental luxury philosophy.

  The 12th-generation Crown body shape retained the classic flavor while still maintaining full and rich texture, and it was also as low as an astonishing 0.27. In addition, more cutting-edge new equipment of the time was used, such as the first G-BOOK and, as well as smart keys, color displays with navigation and reversing images, etc., and even the world’s first to reduce pedestrian injuries. The power aspect has also been completely revamped, and the GR series V6 engine with a new structure and dual VVT-i intake and exhaust has not only improved the power output of the Crown to the next level, but also significantly improved vibration control, fuel consumption and emissions.

  Thanks to the "Crown Complex" accumulated by early imports into China, the domestic 12th-generation Crown surpassed the sales of 2,992 units in the first month of listing, becoming the best-selling mid-to-high-end luxury car in the Chinese market. In the following two months, the order volume of the 12th-generation Crown exceeded 10,000 units. By the end of 2006, the sales volume of the Crown exceeded 60,000 units, accounting for more than 30% of the high-end car market.

  Detective Conan Episode 471

  The 12th-generation Crown is still the darling of film and television works, whether it is the well-known animation "Detective Conan" to the action suspense film "Hunt" (2017) directed by John Woo, you can see its handsome figure.

  The movie "The Hunt" (2017)

  In 2021, the "Crown" car series has once again reappeared in the arena with a new high-end identity. Unlike the luxury cars of the past, the current Crown is positioned as the flagship seven seats of static luxury and dynamic, and it is named, and the newly added "KLUGER" has the meaning of intelligence and wisdom. You may wonder, is the high-end car charm of the Crown still there? Of course it is still there – this time it will be presented in a stronger form.

  Unlike the elegant and quiet Crown sedan, the Crown Land Release based on the TNGA-K platform adopts the "Powerful Suave" design concept, and the shape follows the current design taste. Whether it is the diamond-shaped honeycomb middle net, the wide lower grille combined with the through-through silver decorative strips or the strong three-dimensional body, the whole vehicle builds a strong and brave visual perception.

  The A/B/C pillars of Crown Land are all treated in black to create a suspended roof effect. The waist line extending to the taillights rises sharply, further enhancing the muscle feel on the side of the body. With 18-inch cutting/20-inch two-color cutting and polishing aluminum alloy wheels, the whole car is quite domineering in the air field.

  In terms of interior, Crown Land is built with a center console with a skeleton vertical axis and horizontal axis focusing on the large screen, and then covered with textured interior materials, delicate sewing process and 12.3-inch display screen, continuing the exquisite interior style of the crown in the past. In addition, this infotainment system also has powerful online functions such as intelligent voice interaction system, facial recognition function, Toyota Zhixing Internet, remote diagnosis, theft tracking, etc., close to the online connected life.

  In terms of power, the Crown Land Discharge is equipped with a new generation of TNGA 2.5L dual engine system. Among them, the 2.5L DYNAMIC FORCE engine adopts new technologies such as VVT-iE intelligent electric timing intake system, dual injection fuel supply system (D-4S + injection) and laser cladding valve seat. The comprehensive power reaches 183 kW, torque reaches 238 Nm, and can achieve 41% thermal efficiency, matching the new generation of E-CVT stepless, power output is more linear and smoother, bringing surging power while further reducing fuel consumption.

  The Crown Land Ramp is based on the high level and low center of gravity performance of the TNGA-K platform to create a low center of gravity body. At the same time, the Crown Land Ramp adopts a front McPherson + rear double fork arm independent suspension system, supplemented by the same standard setting, which reduces the body roll while improving the stability, driving control and comfort of the vehicle. The E-Four electronic four-wheel drive system can greatly improve the output torque of the rear wheels, and also increase the torque distribution ratio of the rear wheels (front and rear torque 100:0~ 20:80), achieving more accurate control while bringing a sporty driving feeling like a rear drive.

  In terms of safety, the crown land release has not been neglected. The Toyota Smart Safety System (Safety Sense2.5) is equipped with a pre-collision safety system (with forward pedestrian identification, etc.), a dynamic radar cruise control system (with full-speed domain following function), a lane tracking assistance system (with following function) and an automatic adjustment high beam system. It can not only identify vehicles, but also pedestrians, reduce the chance of accidents and reduce collision injuries. In addition, there is a standard 7-airbag panoramic monitoring system for all series, a blind spot warning system on the rear side of the reversing side, a tire pressure monitoring system, a parking anti-collision assistance system, a vehicle proximity warning system, a driving start assistance control system, and a parallel blind spot monitoring system, etc., to fully protect drivers and passengers.

  Since its birth in the 1950s, Crown has witnessed the development history of film and the changes in social life. Whether it is the eastern elegant philosophy of the past or the new identity of the flagship SUV today, its innovative spirit and luxury level remain unchanged. With the official launch of the FAW Toyota Crown in China on August 27, the Crown car series will also open a new chapter. I believe that more Crown figures will appear in movies around the world in the future.

Jackie Chan calls on entertainers to join the fight against poverty reduction and fulfill social responsibility

Jackie Chan calls on artists to do charity

At the National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference panel discussion held yesterday, Jackie Chan, a three-term member of the National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, called for attention to targeted poverty alleviation, suggesting that young actors should respond to the call of the state and win the battle of poverty reduction together. As soon as the initiative came out, many actors expressed their commitment to fulfill their obligations. So, how can actors use their own advantages to fulfill their social responsibilities? Jackie Chan gave his own advice.


National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference member Jackie Chan: Artists should actively participate in poverty reduction


At this year’s "two sessions", Jackie Chan, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, proposed that performers should actively participate in the poverty reduction strategy and give full play to the social influence of performers. Jackie Chan, who has decades of experience in public welfare undertakings, said: Although there are many difficulties, there are many people.


"Sometimes philanthropy is not something you just say and do. There are many aspects of philanthropy that you have to worry about. It’s very tiring for me to do it alone. It’s better to ask all the entertainers to do it together, and it will also get the effect of publicity." Jackie Chan advocated. After the proposal was issued, it quickly gained the attention of many actors. Wang Xueqi, Huang Xiaoming, Zhou Dongyu, Yang Zi and other actors have expressed their willingness to actively participate in the poverty reduction battle. For the support of their peers, Jackie Chan’s brother’s confidence has doubled.


"Because I have been doing charity for so many years, I have no selfishness, so after the earthquake, Shu Qi, Yu Rongguang and the others all called me and gave me the money they donated, saying: ‘Brother, you help us do it, I believe in you.’ For so many years, I have called on me to do anything in the entertainment industry, so they all believe in me, and I thank them very much. Charity, we have to do it together, because I have limited power alone, and I have to lead my world fans, Chinese fans. Now it is much more convenient to do charity than before." It is because of Jackie Chan’s drive that people in the entertainment industry and even fans outside the circle have joined the charity team.


As Jackie Chan said, he felt a great responsibility and built a public welfare bridge between caring people and groups in need. After the 2015 Tianjin Binhai New Area explosion, Jackie Chan donated 3 million yuan for the first time, and many viewers also reached out to help, hoping to send the money to the families of the victims through Jackie Chan.

Jackie Chan advocates that charity should be done with sincerity


However, poverty reduction is not exactly the same as donating to disaster areas. Especially young actors, although very enthusiastic, but limited experience. So Jackie Chan, who has been involved in public welfare for more than 30 years, sent them a specific "action guide": "

Understand the needs of each township and town, help them promote tourism, and help them sell their own products. For example, after the earthquake, I helped them do a free tea advertisement, and they sold very well that year. It is also poverty alleviation, and you can do it in many different ways. "


In addition, Jackie Chan also said that creating film and television works based on the stories of poor areas to attract social resources is also a desirable way. It is a good example.


National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference member Jackie Chan: Engaging in public welfare requires sincerity


From ecological civilization to cultural relics protection, to rescuing out-of-school children, Jackie Chan’s name has long been a public welfare banner in the hearts of hundreds of millions of viewers.


Jackie Chan is outspoken that when he first started doing charity, he also considered his image, but over the years, doing charity has become completely his instinct: "From a young age, doing charity, for a side hustle, for the sake of image, for the sake of image. Now, I do charity sincerely, voluntarily do charity, you can’t see it, I do charity. I do it every day, I don’t have to tell you what I do now."


Others read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles, while Jackie Chan travels thousands of miles because of public welfare. For young actors, Jackie Chan sincerely gave advice: "You must have never been to the place where I went. So many young actors now are asked by the company to do charity, and now they have become a swarm of people. But slowly these young people will become sincerely doing charity, which is a process."


The battle of poverty reduction requires the whole society to act together. We look forward to seeing more and more actors and artists exert their strength, respond to the call of the country, work together, and work together to win this battle of poverty reduction. In the next ten days, our "China Film Report" will also broadcast a series of reports on "The Battle of Poverty Reduction, Filmmakers are in Action", so stay tuned.

How did Ziguangge, a century-old shop, sell waste oil?

  CCTV News:These days, the hip-hop singer PG One has been criticized by Ziguangge, the official website of the Communist Youth League Central Committee, People’s Daily, CCTV News and other authoritative organizations because there are a lot of negative factors in her lyrics. Among them, Ziguangge even issued three Weibo articles in succession, criticizing PG One for drug-related, vulgar music and insulting women.

  Screenshot of Weibo Hot Search List

 

  Screenshot of PG One fan group chat circulating on the Internet (authenticity to be tested)

  On January 7th, it was revealed in Weibo that PG One fans mistakenly thought that Ziguangge was a hotel official micro, and they suspected that the hot search topic "Ziguangge gutter oil" wanted to destroy it. At the same time, searching for "Ziguangge" in Weibo, besides the first-ranked gutter oil, other topics include "selling incense burners", "marketing numbers" and "restaurants".

 

  After the "Ziguangge Waste Oil" was listed, Ziguangge Guanwei publicly responded in a humorous tone. "# Ziguangge Waste Oil # was hot searched? How to deal with this negative public opinion? The purple baby can only hide in the Ziguangge Hotel in the downstairs canteen and tremble. "

  According to the certification data of Ziguangge in Weibo, Ziguangge is a Weibo established by Ziguangge magazine of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China State Organs Working Committee, which is an important party magazine of the State Council system. Obviously, as an authoritative media, Ziguangge has nothing to do with hotels.

  The reply from the official of Ziguangge, Microcomputer Zhi, triggered a network carnival. The major officials "practiced the party’s mass line education and practice activities, and truly came from the masses, went to the masses, and became one with the people!"

  According to media reports, hot search in Weibo has become an industrial chain, with the top three quotes in the hot search list ranging from 50,000 to 60,000 yuan. This further strengthens the suspicion that PG One fans buy hot search black Ziguangge. Some netizens even broke the news that PG One fans are launching crowdfunding, and each 50 yuan is preparing for the next round of action.

  The behavior of PG One fans suspected of buying hot search has attracted a lot of criticism, and netizens have accused fans of being distorted and losing their minds. Some netizens pointed out: "Everyone criticized PG One because they were worried that he would bring bad young people. Fans of PG One proved to the central media with practical actions that PG One did bring bad young people."

 

  However, the incident began to reverse on the afternoon of the 8 th. In response to the hot search behavior, Weibo officially responded publicly, saying "‘ Ziguangge waste oil ’ I didn’t go to the hot search list yesterday! " Weibo said that the word began to be searched by users at 19:30 on the 7th. In the normal search volume, only 3.26% of users paid attention to "Honghuahui PG_ONE", and the rest were enthusiastic participants of a large number of (onlookers) users, which led to the continuous rise of the popularity. It was displayed in the "real-time rising hotspot" at 20:42 and lasted for more than ten minutes. However, due to the lack of search volume, it failed to board the website. In other words, the "hot search list" of netizens’ screenshots is not the top "hot search list", but a "real-time rising hot spot", because the participation of onlookers led to an increase in heat, and later it did not go to the real hot search list.

  Weibo’s official response proves that the hot search on "Ziguangge Waste Oil" is not driven by PG One fans, but is caused by onlookers.

  In addition, Weibo also said that there are indeed promotions and advertisements on the hot search list, and advertisements are displayed with the word "recommendation" on the right side of the list. However, "Ziguangge gutter oil" cannot be purchased as a hot word. "Advertising also has a review mechanism, and it can only be used if it is legal and compliant."

  This practice of setting up a target and then criticizing it has naturally aroused the resentment of some netizens. Netizens began to reflect on the attack on PG One fans:

  In fact, if you only attack your own vertical target, it will only make the supporter more determined and attract some resentment from the neutral party. It is said that there is a way to whitewash the pink circle, that is, fans themselves add a little false black material and then overthrow it, which will make people who don’t know the truth think that all these black materials are false. This situation must not be what the masses of onlookers want to see.

  However, although the "Ziguangge gutter oil" incident is just the entertainment of onlookers, idolize, whose fans are blind and irrational, is still worthy of attention. From the "seeking for a hammer" of Joker Xue fans to the blind maintenance of PG One fans, the reality has proved that idolize, who is irrational, can not only help idols, but also harm idols and even lead the fire to himself. When our favorite idol does something wrong, we should support him to bear the due price, and then believe that he will turn over a new leaf instead of desperately defending him.

  Bacon said, "People think that their reason dominates words, but sometimes words dominate reason." Blind powder and brainless black are not desirable. Don’t give up the bottom line because of love or disgust! (Text/Huang Zuochun)

Hot Search: Will you speak out bravely when the truth is wrapped in interests?


Special feature of 1905 film network Directed, producer and starring, the film will be released nationwide this Friday (December 1st). Previously, this film won the "Most Expected Feature Film Award" at the 36th China Golden Rooster Award Domestic New Film Exhibition, which attracted much attention and expectation from the audience.



The film tells the story that the explosive articles created by Chen Miao (Zhou Dongyu), the editor-in-chief of the media, rushed to the hot search, but caused the female student of the party "bully" to jump off the building. However, a sexual assault case that was accidentally involved in the follow-up made Chen Miao’s partner He Yan (Song Yang) and investor Peng Yue (Justin) involved in it one after another. Public opinion has turned many times, what kind of interest chain is hidden behind the incident, and a public opinion war for the weak has started.


Movies have greater social significance for the current media environment, because the media environment we are in is becoming more and more one-sided, and the fragmented truth replaces the complete truth. At the same time, everyone can speak, seemingly speaking every word independently, but it may also be inadvertently used as a gun.


Public opinion is reversed, and watching movies is like watching reality.


What is "public opinion reversal"? After the release of a news event, network public opinion broke out, new information emerged one after another, the wind direction of public opinion changed constantly, the personnel of the parties reversed, and so on. In the end, this news event disappeared in this post-truth era, making people unable to remember or remember the original appearance of the event.


Xin Yukun, the director, caught this frequent network phenomenon and showed the logical chain behind it to the audience. The film Hot Search tells a story of constant inversion with dramatic effect, and the inversion here is not in the sense of genre, but in the sense of public opinion topic.



The story revolves around Chen Miao (Zhou Dongyu), the editor-in-chief of the media. She is well versed in the traffic code in the Internet era. In order to gain fans and attract investment, she planned many explosive articles and concocted a topic of bullying on campus for girls, which caused the public to have a cyber storm about "bully" Zhang Xiaosui (ornaments), but indirectly led to Zhang Xiaosui’s suicide by jumping off a building.



At this time, Chen Miao accidentally discovered the help information sent by a female student and involved a sexual assault case. The "public opinion reversal" war behind the hot search began, and a group of self-media people relied on the power of words to confront the capital power.


As the beginning of the film, it has already pulled out a very complicated social reality, but the whole truth has to be reversed several times. From the fierce confrontation between characters, it seems that we can see the crisscross of "swords and shadows". In the confrontation of each word, there is no absolute truth, only rumors and truth are constantly intertwined, bringing waves of confrontation.



The best thing about Hot Search is that it deeply dissects the "public opinion reversal" that has become the norm in recent years, and puts the whole process of making hot search on the table to tell everyone why it is sometimes so difficult for victims to speak out.


The law of communication is used and the battlefield of public opinion is formed.


Seeing this film, many viewers will definitely think of the previous and recent Hong Kong drama "The News Queen" and other film and television works. In fact, they all have a common feature that they are concerned about media ethics. The difference of Hot Search is that it not only pays attention to cyber violence, but also pays attention to journalistic professional ethics. It tells a complete, vivid and intuitive story about how the media, especially the online media, affect the generation of public opinion and public opinion.


In the film, a large number of tactics implemented by Chen Miao in the field of public opinion use the propagation laws such as "agenda setting and silence spiral". Combined with the plot and context of the film, it can make the audience understand — — What rules have shaped the public opinion environment in our lives?


For example, Zhou Dongyu plays Chen Miao in the film. She mentioned a very important keyword called "agenda setting", which means that the media greatly enhanced the importance of a news event in the audience’s mind by reporting it intensively or continuously. Today, our media structure is also changing, and more and more reports on current hot spots have emerged from the media, which has improved the timeliness and diversity of news.



On the other hand, the "gatekeeper" mechanism of news has also been weakened to some extent. "Reporting" focuses on showing facts, while "commenting" focuses on showing opinions and leading public opinion. The journalism involved by non-professional organizations and non-professional journalists is gradually deviating from those basic journalistic ethics and professional ethics. It has become an indisputable fact that news rationality and responsibility are sidelined and news perspective is skewed in the new media situation.


In addition, there is the law of "silence spiral" that is often mentioned in the film. In general, "silence spiral" refers to the fact that one party’s silence makes the other party more and more powerful, which leads people to dare to be angry even if they are obviously unfair. Just as the "victim" Zhang Xiaosui’s mother kept her mouth shut about the truth about her daughter’s victimization because of her outdated concept, other victims were also silent at the beginning, and the powerful abusers also used the water army to bring rhythm online, making the victims at the bottom speechless.



However, with the continuous fermentation of public opinion, "anti-spiral silence" has also emerged. It is easier to be noticed that people who hold opinions contrary to public opinion, but their comments will make the people who hold public opinion defect. When a victim is willing to stand up and speak out, more and more people will stand up and speak out, which will condense into the power of public opinion storm. This is also the touching place of this film. Women help women, try their best to save each other and save themselves, and defend the truth and conscience of the world.



Guo Chaoren, the former president of Xinhua News Agency, once encouraged reporters in four words: "There are thousands of properties in the pen, there are disloyalty and treachery in the pen, there are rights and wrongs in the pen, and there are lives in the pen." These four sentences are still four proverbs in today’s media environment!


In today’s internet age, behind every hot search is a struggle for people’s attention, for attention, and for emotion and recognition. Unconsciously, ordinary people have become the targets of being used. The film Hot Search not only reveals the truth in the current new media environment, but also brings us some warnings: online public opinion can destroy a person, but fortunately, brave and sincere voice can also save the next person.
