(2) Review of the first three essays

"Youth makes the country prosperous, while youth makes the country strong"! As an academic publication that insists on "growing with young scholars" as its mission since its birth, Exploration and Contention magazine has always attached importance to unity and support for young scholars. Under the leadership of the Party Group of Shanghai Social Federation, with the support of the National Social Science Fund, the Propaganda Department of Shanghai Municipal Committee and the special funds of Shanghai Press and Publication Bureau, since 2014, Exploration and Contention has launched an essay for young scholars and young students under the age of 40, and has been held for four times so far, with a total of more than 3,600 submissions and nearly 100 award-winning papers selected.

(III) Overview of the Fourth Essay

From January to December, 2020, Exploration and Contention launched the 4th National Youth Theoretical Innovation Essay Activity with the theme of "Technological Innovation and Civilization Reconstruction: New Problems and Challenges". The object of the essay is young scholars and students born after January 1, 1980 in universities and scientific research institutions all over the country. The requirements for essay writing must be unpublished original papers or in-depth investigation reports; Do in-depth theoretical research on new phenomena, new needs and new problems caused by technological innovation in social, economic, political, cultural, humanities, communication and education fields, especially encourage interdisciplinary research; The research results are original and forward-looking, which can combine academic research with practical care, provide unique ideas for explaining and solving the China issue, and conform to the style of selecting articles in Exploration and Contention, with "academics as the bottom and thoughts as the banner".

The essay-writing activity has been strongly supported and responded by young scholars all over the country.

Among them, 1 first prize, with a reward of 10,000 yuan; 3 second prizes, with RMB 5,000 each; 8 third prizes, with RMB 3,000 each; There are 12 nominations, and each 1000 yuan will be awarded.

(4) Review process

From January to April, 2021, based on the principles of fairness, openness and justice, the editorial department selected the contributions according to the procedures of initial review of the editorial department, re-evaluation of anonymous communication by experts and final evaluation of anonymous on-site by experts.

1. The preliminary examination is divided into social science group and humanities group. Each subject group in the editorial department is responsible for the primary election, and each group submits 30 articles to the experts to enter the anonymous communication review session.

2. In the re-evaluation, the evaluation experts give each article a rating (excellent, good and average) from the aspects of topic selection value, argument originality, argument quality, material application and writing level. After summarizing the experts’ evaluation opinions, the editorial department determined that 12 articles entered the final evaluation.

4. The editorial department shall, according to the expert review opinions in the early stage, negotiate to produce the nomination award candidate list.

5. After all the candidate lists of awards are produced, they will be reviewed by experts and political experts, and then reported to the party group of Shanghai Social Federation. After approval, the winners will be publicized to the public.

On the whole, this essay on young people’s theoretical innovation has achieved the expected goal of the editorial department. After the essay-writing activity, the editorial department of Exploration and Contention conducted a survey on the topics of contemporary young scholars’ concern, their research methods and paradigms, the distribution of young scholars’ disciplines and schools, and the characteristics of award-winning papers in schools and professional titles reflected in this essay through statistical analysis of the manuscripts, internal discussions in the editorial department, and listening to experts’ opinions, so as to summarize the successful experiences and shortcomings of this year’s young scholars’ theoretical innovation essay, and understand and grasp the young scholars. This report will summarize and show the experience of this essay activity from the following aspects, report the essay results to all parties who care about and support this activity, and provide reference and prospect for the future development and perfection of this activity.

Second, the analysis of contributions

(A) the author’s title/academic analysis

The object of this essay is young scholars under the age of 40, and the authors are mainly young teachers, doctoral students and master students in colleges and universities. The analysis shows that young teachers and doctoral students in colleges and universities are the main force of this young theoretical innovation essay. Among them, young teachers in colleges and universities contributed 363 articles, accounting for 41% of the total number of contributions, and lecturers (assistant researchers) and associate professors (associate researchers) accounted for 34% of the total number of contributions; 235 doctoral students contributed, accounting for 26.5% of the total contributions; Postgraduates contributed 113 articles, accounting for 12.7% of the total contributions. It can be seen that young teachers in colleges and universities, doctoral and master students are enthusiastic about research and have strong research ability and thesis writing ability. This is also closely related to the theme of this essay. At present, young and middle-aged people constitute the main body of research in emerging fields such as technology and artificial intelligence. They have strong ability to accept emerging things and can adjust their research direction to the trend of social development. On the other hand, the distribution of professional titles/academic qualifications in this essay also reflects the scientific research pressure generally faced by young teachers and doctoral and master students in colleges and universities. It is understood that doctoral students in most universities in China basically need to publish 1-2 CSSCI journal papers, and graduate students in some universities also need to publish a CSSCI journal paper. For young teachers in colleges and universities, 2-3 CSSCI journal papers a year have become the "standard" for evaluating professional titles and performance appraisal. Sure，Scholars born in 1980s and 1990s have become a new force in the research of philosophy and social sciences, but we should also see the factors of "being forced to submit papers" and "making papers" due to performance appraisal or graduation requirements. In any case, the strategic guidance and support for the growth of young scholars can not be ignored.

(B) analysis of the contribution area

The sources of manuscripts are widely distributed, covering almost all regions in China except Qinghai, Ningxia, Shanxi and Xizang, and some articles from overseas. Beijing, Shanghai, Sichuan, Hubei and Jiangsu are the concentrated sources of manuscripts. On the one hand, the distribution of the contribution enthusiasm of young scholars in China reflects the influence of the journal Exploration and Contention, on the other hand, it also reflects the future development potential of regional academics.

(3) Subject distribution of contributing scholars

The essay activity involves more than 10 disciplines, including Marxism, law, management, literature, sociology, philosophy, education, politics, economics, history and communication. The distribution of disciplines shows the following characteristics: First, the number and proportion of submissions from law, communication, literature, philosophy and Marxism are significantly higher than those from history, art, education and economics. Among them, the number of contributions from the first five disciplines is 173, 121, 102, 101 and 96 respectively. This is mainly because these disciplines are most sensitive to the changes brought about by technological development, such as personal information and privacy issues in law disciplines, blockchain and artificial intelligence contracts; Topics such as nationalism and national position, technological transformation and people-centered in Marxism; The ethics and man-machine relationship of artificial intelligence advocated in philosophy; Literature focuses on topics such as artificial intelligence writing, algorithms and cultural landscape. These topics are outstanding problems and distinct changes brought about by the development of technology, and also constitute the forefront of current research in these disciplines. However, disciplines such as history and art are relatively "conservative" and have their own development context, and they are less dependent on technology, so scholars in these fields are relatively lagging behind in their involvement in technical issues.

(D) Analysis of young scholars’ research methods

In this essay, young scholars pay more attention to empirical research and quantitative analysis in research methods, which reflects that contemporary young scholars have received good training in social science methods and can demonstrate their arguments solidly and rigorously. What is slightly insufficient is that some articles are slightly lacking in ideological and theoretical aspects because they pay too much attention to the refinement of methods.

(E) Analysis of topics of concern to young scholars

Through the analysis of high-frequency words in the contributions of various disciplines, we can find several interesting phenomena:

People and society have always been the core of the research on technology and civilization, and the concern about numbers and technology has permeated all disciplines. As far as the theme of technology and civilization is concerned, the involution of pedagogy, art and philosophy is obvious; There is almost no history in the contribution of the history group.

(VI) Thinking and Enlightenment

1. Walk with the times and write the paper on the motherland.

The editorial department of "Exploration and Contention" is writing essays for the whole country with the theme of "Technological Innovation and Civilization Reconstruction: New Problems and New Challenges", aiming at guiding young scholars to further analyze the social development mode and national governance mode brought about by technological development from their own research fields. In academic research, the trinity of "transitivity", academics and concern for the times is very important. Talking about problems and doing research without the reality of China’s development will fall into the trap of nihilism. In this essay, most of the articles can start from a specific research field, study the problems brought by technological development to practical practice, and pay attention to the social transformation in China. With the help of the theme analysis of the award-winning papers, we can find that the policy dominance of the country and the government’s concern affect the vision and problem orientation of academic research.

Taking the winning papers as an example, some discuss the role and influence of drawing technology in the formation of modern world order from the past to the present; Taking root in reality and discussing the spatial order and right order of homestead; There are hot spots to discuss the challenge of the rise of platform power to state power; There are those who discuss technical nationalism and the prospect of artificial intelligence between China and the United States based on the international situation.

In addition, there are many topics such as "virtual acquaintance society", "platform credit mechanism" and "civilized communication in games". These themes have taken care of the process of social reform and development in China since the information age from different angles, and found various obvious or hidden, macro or specific, classic or trendy problems. These young scholars can conduct in-depth and forward-looking research on these problems from their own knowledge structure and put forward unique solutions. These articles make us feel the keen vision and theoretical enthusiasm of contemporary young scholars in China, and also make us believe that contemporary young scholars are deeply concerned about social development, and they are trying to practice the academic mission of "writing papers on the motherland".

2. The interdisciplinary trend is obvious, actively practicing the innovation of China’s academic discourse system.

This essay takes the subject words of the article as the analysis variables, and finds that the hot topics concerned by contemporary young scholars have high similarity, such as "governance", "data", "algorithm" and "technology" have become common high-frequency words in all disciplines. Although this has something to do with the theme of the essay in the editorial department, through the analysis of the content of the essay, we can find that the research objects and research methods of this essay have a lot in common, which reflects that under the background of the construction of new liberal arts, interdisciplinary research has become the mainstream trend, which also reflects the future direction of China’s academic discourse system. For contemporary young scholars, interdisciplinary research has become a method, and their research has gradually changed from a small research within the discipline to a grand narrative that cares about social reality.

Through the analysis of word frequency co-occurrence of essays, "country" has become the ultimate concern of young scholars’ academic research, and taking discipline as the method and country as the purpose has become a major feature of this essay activity. Take the winning papers as an example. No matter the concepts such as cartography, power diaspora, virtual acquaintance society, technical nationalism and institutional art, professional analytical methods and research ideas are adopted in the beginning of the article, but at the end of the article, the themes are all guided to the grand narrative level of social development, state governance and civilization dissemination. Many papers do not stick to a specific discipline paradigm. Some pay attention to the development of China at present, especially in the post-epidemic era, from a unique perspective today. By deeply exploring and thinking about the issues of the times, they pay attention to trendy topics, such as games and cultural entertainment, new technology and labor transformation, algorithms and machine ethics, etc., and innovate discourse expressions, which have distinctive youth characteristics and characteristics of the times, and can make in-depth and valuable analysis and discussion. It can be seen that problem-oriented and breaking discipline barriers are becoming an important feature of contemporary academic development.

3. The problem of academic involution needs to be solved urgently, and the academic ecology needs further improvement.

In this essay, we also found a prominent problem, that is, the homogeneity of research is high, and the scope of research is still not wide enough. For example, the protection of personal information in the law discipline, nearly 30 articles in the law discipline contributions selected this topic; Another example is the man-machine relationship in philosophy, which also accounts for a considerable proportion in the contributions. Although these topics are very important, at the moment when the existing research results are already rich, if we don’t open up new academic fields as soon as possible, we will easily fall into the trap of low-level repetition and academic involution. For journals, this trend also reminds them to be "forward-flowing and backward-flowing", set up topics actively by predicting the new trend of social development, and lead the academic circles to carry out innovative research; At the same time, we should also criticize the current "technology fever" and refine the big ideas and true views that meet the needs of society.

Generally speaking, in this essay on theoretical innovation of young people, many young scholars have put forward many original ideas in combination with their own research fields and the development of China society in the digital age. This is highly consistent with the editorial department’s idea of warm academics and academic concern for reality. Although some studies are slightly lacking in theoretical depth and breadth, many experts admire the courage and spirit of daring to face real problems and put forward new ideas and new thinking. I believe that after a period of academic training and practice, these young scholars will become the core strength of various disciplines.

Third, the analysis of awards

Judging from the distribution of awards, award-winning scholars are mainly distributed in Beijing, Shanghai, Nanjing, Guangzhou, Tianjin, Wuhan, Chengdu and other places. There are 27 winners from 24 papers from more than 20 well-known universities such as Peking University, Tsinghua University, Nanjing University, Fudan University, Shanghai Jiaotong University, Sun Yat-sen University, Central Party School, Sichuan University, East China Normal University, Shanghai University, Guangzhou University and Huazhong Normal University, and the universities with the most winners are also. On the one hand, it reflects that young scholars all over the country have a high enthusiasm for participating in this essay activity, on the other hand, it also reflects that the influence of Exploration and Contention has expanded to all parts of the country, and it also proves the fairness and justice of the award.

Judging from the winning status, among the young scholars, there are 11 doctoral students, 7 lecturers, assistant researchers and postdoctoral students, 7 associate professors and associate researchers, and 2 master students. This not only shows the improvement of the academic enthusiasm of young students in today’s academic circles, but also echoes the purpose of this essay award: everything is based on the quality of the article, not on academic qualifications and past achievements. The essay activity is not only to find excellent articles, but more importantly, to find some forward-looking academic views and explore outstanding young talents. Judging from the award-winning content, keen awareness of problems, solid analytical methods and exquisite ability to refine concepts are more likely to be favored by experts, which highlights the unanimous pursuit of new theories in the new era.

Fourth, the overall evaluation and improvement of the essay activity

Training young scholars and growing up with young students has always been one of the aims of the journal Exploration and Contention. As an important part of the young scholars’ support program, the 4th National Youth Theory Innovation Essay Activity inherited and carried forward the fine traditions of the previous three activities, cut into China’s social practice with cutting-edge topics, focused on the training of young scholars, and achieved good publishing, academic and social benefits in combination with the country’s reform and exploration of major practical issues in the information age.

(A) through excellent contributions to create a brand of publications, improve academic standards.

During 2019-2020, our magazine published many outstanding contributions of young people’s theoretical innovation essays, and achieved good academic influence and social response. In the future, we will still select outstanding award-winning papers. These high-quality contributions will undoubtedly enhance the attraction of Exploration and Contention to young scholars and play an important role in promoting the cutting-edge viewpoints and academic standards of Exploration and Contention.

(B) found a large number of outstanding young authors, expanding the ranks of magazine authors.

Our magazine has always attached importance to supporting the growth of young scholars. Many young scholars are still the core authors of our magazine after they have grown into the backbone of various schools and disciplines. This essay on theoretical innovation for young people has brought together a large number of outstanding young scholars from universities all over the country, which has made the team of young authors of our journal take a step forward in depth and breadth.

(3) Encourage young people to care about the transformation and reform practice of China in the digital age.

The editorial department takes the topic of "technological innovation and civilization reconstruction" as an important starting point to guide scholars to think deeply about the problems faced during the period of national transformation and social development, which has important practical significance. Generally speaking, this essay activity of the editorial department closely combines the research of academic issues with the major theoretical and practical issues in the development and transformation of China in the new era, which clearly embodies the characteristics of the journal. This essay activity encourages young scholars to think about the major issues of national and social development from their own research fields, which not only guides young scholars to inherit the fine academic tradition of applying what they have learned, but also makes young people more responsible and closely links their academic life with the destiny of the country.

(D) the construction of innovative academic communities

The editorial department insists on organizing four essay-writing activities, which is a useful attempt to innovate the construction of academic community. We hope that by building an academic community composed of major academic journals and young scholars, young scholars with academic potential can have a higher and bigger stage and display their academic talents and ideals.

(V) What needs to be improved

1. The academic innovation of essay writing needs to be strengthened, and the new problems and phenomena brought about by technological innovation need to be further explored. The thesis of this essay activity for young people’s theoretical innovation has some innovative ideas in some fields, but generally speaking, the thinking on the transformation of technological development and social development is still insufficient. On the one hand, there are not enough innovative ideas and viewpoints; On the other hand, young scholars still focus on theoretical thinking and seldom combine theoretical innovation with practical problems.

2. Although the editorial department of "Exploration and Contention" has accumulated a lot of experience in the first three essay-writing activities and made every effort to hold this activity, there are still many places to be improved due to the shortage of manpower. For example, the publicity is still insufficient. After the essay-writing activity, young scholars still contribute to us, which also reflects that our publicity is not in place and young scholars are not aware of the deadline for submission. Moreover, due to too many contributions, there are also many excellent manuscripts, but because of the limited awards, the editorial department and peer review experts have to reluctantly give up what one favours. In the process of evaluation, how to coordinate the relationship between comprehensiveness and discipline, and the specific evaluation procedures and rules need to be further optimized. In addition, the editorial department has not paid enough attention to the follow-up growth of award-winning young scholars and has insufficient information. In the future, it should take various forms to keep in touch with award-winning young scholars and establish a closer academic community.

Finally, the editorial department of Exploration and Contention expresses heartfelt thanks to all the young scholars who participated in this essay-writing activity! I would like to express my high respect to all the judging experts and people from all walks of life who care about this essay activity!

Special feature of 1905 film network According to the data of Cat’s Eye Professional Edition, as of 21: 30 on May 3, the box office of the May 1st cinema in 2023 exceeded 1.5 billion yuan. Among them, with 510.7343 million yuan, 463.8841 million yuan and 172.5284 million yuan respectively, it ranked in the top three at the box office, followed closely.

Counterattack the most important key words in the mainland film market during the May 1 ST period.

In terms of single film, "Unfamiliar Road of Life" counterattacked "King of the Sky" and became the box office champion, with the cumulative box office of both films exceeding the 500 million mark. In terms of the single-day box office trend, it broke through the 300 million mark for four consecutive days. Among them. On April 30th and May 1st, the single-day box office increased continuously.

The fiery May 1st File has made people more confident about the future development of China film market.

High-quality comedy is just needed in the market.

In 2023, the big dark horse in the mainland film market in the May 1st file was "Unfamiliar Road to Life".

Whether it is in the pre-sale of the box office or the number of people who want to see the online platform in the early stage, the performance of Unfamiliar Life is quite satisfactory. However, this film achieved a counterattack by virtue of the genre difference of the only pure comedy film in the schedule and the strong entertainment attribute of the plot.

The single-day box office of the film rose from 34.148 million yuan on April 28 to 130 million yuan on May 1, and won the single-day box office championship for three consecutive days. The box office of the film broke through 100 million days in a row for three days. In addition, the proportion of the film’s single-day release increased from 10.8% on the first day of release to 23.7% on May 3.

For the box office trend of the film all the way up, the director issued a document saying, "Thank you all, thank you all, thank you all for giving the opportunity to the cinema colleagues." At present, the cumulative box office of the film has exceeded 500 million yuan.

According to the "2022 China Film Annual Survey Report" released by the 1905 Film Network and Film Channel Media Center at the beginning of the year, the total box office of comedy films in 2022 reached 7.513 billion yuan, an increase of 28.66% compared with 2021, and comedy films are still just needed by the market.

The same is true for the Spring Festival and May Day in 2023, and comedies are full of harvest. For the vast majority of the audience, watching movies is one of the ways to relax and decompress in daily life. Comedy films can just make people laugh, relieve stress and ease their emotions.

This is also the first time that a comedy has won the May 1st box office title in the past three years. In 2021 and 2022, the ticket titles were respectively, both of which were romantic films.

There are also romantic films such as "So Many Years" released in the May 1st. Among them, the performance of "So Many Years" controlled by Light Media is relatively outstanding. The film won the third place at the box office, and the cumulative box office exceeded 200 million.

The pre-sale of the box office champion "The King of the Sky" also performed well. The film’s single-day box office has achieved positive growth for two consecutive days. The compact plot and realistic special effects have become the key words of the audience’s hot comments. The film Douban is divided into 7.0. At present, the cumulative box office of the film has exceeded 500 million yuan.

In addition, the film also broke the record of the total number of domestic films in the May 1st file of China mainland film history. The film’s demonstration of the work and life of test pilots has also been unanimously recognized by ordinary audiences and professionals.

The big-screen work "Prosecutorial Storm", which also has the prototype of real people, has also gathered a lot of attention. The former is the first film about criminal trial from the perspective of China prosecutors, while the latter is another new fire-fighting film. At present, the box office of Procuratorial Storm in Out of Fire is more than 47 million yuan and 35 million yuan respectively.

It is worth mentioning that the word-of-mouth of the director’s debut by a well-known screenwriter is not directly proportional to the box office. At present, the film Douban scores 7.3, which is at the top of the new film schedule. At present, the film box office is only in the early tens of millions.

In this regard, Zhang Ji’s circle of friends wrote that "Changsha Nightlife" is my first film directed, and there are many shortcomings and regrets. I humbly accept your criticism and correction, but I still hope that my colleagues in the cinema can add some films to our film, especially the effective films. "

According to statistics, the single-day rate of the film from April 30th to May 3rd was 1.8%, 2.4%, 2%, 1.6% and 1.6% respectively. This film full of Hunan flavor, the regional box office champion in the schedule was won by Hunan Province without any suspense.

Animated films and old films performed well collectively.

Of the 18 new films in the May 1st file, there are 5 new animated films, which are mainly low-oriented. Among them, the cumulative box office of "Cosmos Guard: Storm Power" exceeded 30 million, 10 million and 5 million respectively.

New GG Bond Big Movie Super Racing is the eighth big movie in GG Bond series. The New GG Bond Movie Dinosaur Diary, released on May 1st in 2021, created a new box office record for this series of big movies with a score of 79.319 million.

Old animated films such as "Slam Dunk" are outstanding at the collective box office. The content of the story is adult-oriented, which makes the potential audience of such films even larger.

After a lapse of 27 years, the first big movie slam dunk was released in China, which fulfilled many audiences’ dreams of national competition after 1980s and 1990s. The memory killing aroused by the appearance of the five tigers in northern Hunan has made many middle-aged people relive their youth.

On April 20th, it was released in China, and it was not unexpected that the film became the box office champion of the May 1st animated film in 2023. At present, the film Douban scores as high as 9.0. At present, the cumulative box office of the film has exceeded 600 million yuan.

The director’s new film "Journey to the Bell Bud" has a steady long-term box office trend. At present, the cumulative box office of films has exceeded 800 million, which has raised the ceiling of Japanese film box office in China film history to a new height. The mainland of China is also the largest ticket warehouse for this overseas box office.

According to Nintendo’s classic red-and-white game IP, Super Mario Bros. Movie also earned more than 20 million yuan at the box office during the May 1st period. At present, the global box office of the film has reached 1.048 billion US dollars, making it the single-chip box office champion in the current global market.

In these new and old animated films, the works of young children meet the needs of parent-child viewing, while the works of adult children win the movie ticket in the hands of the audience with their feelings. Collective quality online is the basis for the overall box office performance of the May 1st animated film.

Among the many film companies that participated in the May 1st file, Shanghai Tingdong Film has undoubtedly become the biggest winner. "Unfamiliar Road to Life" and "King of the Sky" produced by its owner won the first and second place at the box office. The "So Many Years" controlled by Light Media is also small and broad, with a high return on investment. Mainland film companies such as China Film, Alibaba Pictures Film and Cat’s Eye Film have all gained in varying degrees.

In addition, those officially released in the mainland on May 5 were also screened during the holidays, accumulating market enthusiasm. At present, the total box office of this film has broken the 10 million mark.

Due to the good reputation of films such as King of the Sky and Unfamiliar Road in Life, the long-term box office endurance is worth looking forward to. In the future, there will be "Please don’t believe her" in the mainland film market in May, and Chinese and foreign works with certain market recognition will be released.

At present, the box office of China mainland film market in May has exceeded 880 million yuan, which is higher than the overall box office in May last year. Under the blessing of May 1st, the annual box office in the Mainland has exceeded 19.6 billion yuan, and it will break through the 20 billion mark at the latest next week.

Today is September 23, 2019, and there are still 99 days before the end of 2019.

After 99 days, the first batch of 90 born in 1990 will really be 30 years old.

Although this is only an age figure, it doesn’t really mean anything. However, in the face of such a ritualistic life intersection, the mentality of people born in 1990 facing many problems is still subtly changing.

It’s no wonder that there will be soul torture in Zhihu: What’s your status now, the first batch of post-90s students who are going to be in their third year?

Mature? Steady? Old? Lying flat to life?

People born in 1990 are giving their own answers with life.

Celebrate sb’s birthday

Stand a candle

People born in 1990 have had enough birthdays.

He doesn’t even love birthdays anymore. Facing the surprise party prepared by their friends, they worked hard to pretend to be surprised and happy. The moment they blew out the birthday candles, their wish was: Don’t scare me so much next year.

Yes, people born in 1990 have no feelings about birthdays. If there is, it can only be: Mom *, why am I one year older?

It’s time to refuel

chip in (to buy a gift)

Establish a new social outlook

People born in 1990 received a wedding invitation from Xiao Xiao-a link to an electronic photo album using H5 template.

Considering that I haven’t seen this young man for more than 9 years, people born in 1990 sent their wedding wishes through WeChat for the first time.

But I didn’t intend to follow the crowd.

wedding

Set up a vision for love

People born in 1990 have no travel arrangements for this National Day holiday. The three wedding invitations on October 2, 4 and 6 perfectly chopped up all their possibilities of traveling.

Usually, the female students who meet at weddings become beautiful, and the male students become fat; The study Committee member went to BAT to be a Guan Peisheng, with more contacts and less hair; The literary and art committee members are starting their own businesses from the media, and they tell everyone that we are in Tik Tok.

There are not many topics to talk about. It’s nothing more than Xiaoxue of "Family with Children" has recently made a new play. Have you heard about it? It’s so funny. Are you playing ANT FOREST? It’s the same meaning as stealing food in those days.

On the big screen, there is a micro-movie reviewing the process of new acquaintance. At this moment, the lights are dense and the background music is "Confession Balloon". People born in 1990 suddenly realized that even Jay Chou was the father of two children. Maybe I should find someone myself.

People born in 1990 used to scoff at love and marriage.

Buy a house

Liye anjia

People born in 1990 are considering buying a house.

This may be the biggest challenge they have faced so far, and it seems to be more like another advancement in life. He can find countless reasons and excuses for not buying a house, but he wants to have his own home-just like nature calling. The closer he is to 30 years old, the stronger the 90-year-old people feel about it.

People born in 1990 used to sneer at buying a house. My life is up to me, how can I be bound by a set of dozens of square meters of humble abode? What’s wrong with me if I have the money to buy a house?

But now, he has a second thought.

Wechat group sunbathing baby

Set up a person

Under the repeated ridicule of a group of WeChat public accounts, people born in 1990 finally learned to restrain themselves in the circle of friends and be presumptuous in small groups after becoming mothers. Never expose the baby easily.

However, there are only one or two groups that can make them licentious, with about three or four members. At first, everyone will respond enthusiastically: ah, ah, ah, ah, so cute, so fast. Unfortunately, in a few days, it became a state of no answer.

But people born in 1990 will stick to it. The friends in the group watched silently, not boasting, but not annoying.

For people born in 1990, this is a very noble friendship.

* Note: The story is also true if the above words "being a mother" are replaced by "having a kitten" and "publicly drying the baby" are replaced by "publicly drying the cat".

Brain theater before going to bed

Sleep at once

People born in 1990 once had a rich little theater in their brains before going to bed.

They will fantasize about becoming Kabuto, Harry Potter, Iron Man, ever-changing KINOMOTO SAKURA, or having a digital baby of their own.

But now, people born in 1990 have bid farewell to the small theater in the brain for a long time.

When they got home from work at twelve o’clock in the morning, they fell asleep.

buy insurance

Standing guarantee

People born in 1990 bought insurance for their parents last month under the help of Amway, a colleague.

If you don’t hurry, your parents can’t buy serious illness insurance after they are 60 years old.

People born in 1990 bought themselves a copy by the way.

Before they can’t afford a house, this is the only thing that can make them feel a little more practical.

New sideline

Set up a sideline

People born in 1990 placed an order for iPhone 11 Pro.

They have a good reason to buy: they need a better equipment to start shooting vlog. This is a "new sideline" they have planned for themselves. These days, the main business may not be strong, but there must be sideline business.

Oh, by the way, their last sideline was to be a part-time illustrator. The iPad Pro bought for this purpose is playing "Legend of Wulin" on the dining table at the moment.

MBA

New learning calendar

People born in 1990 made many new friends in the MBA class on weekends.

They chatted very speculatively, after all, they were all born after 90.

Office spine exercises

Stand up the cervical vertebra

People born in 1990 were sitting well at the workstation and suddenly began to write the word "dung" with their heads.

The post-1995 children in the company thought they were missing the feeling of disco dancing, while the post-1980 seniors knew that they just started doing office cervical gymnastics.

I learned it perfunctorily at the age of six and used it as a life-saving skill at the age of thirty, cervical gymnastics.

do textual research

Set new goals

People born in 1990 decided to start preparing for CPA(Certified Public Accountant), for which they have read all the relevant experience stickers in Zhihu.

Although in their hearts, they don’t even think they can really pass the exam.

But people born in 1990 still enjoy the process of applying for the exam. This makes them feel that they are still working hard.

predecessor

there’s no making without breaking

People born in 1990 have become desensitized to the word predecessor.

People born in 1990 can behave decently if they meet their predecessors by chance. They greet each other like acquaintances, as if they have evolved into another kind of middle-aged friendship.

On the last day of 2017, people born in 1990 watched movies with friends for the New Year’s Eve. There was almost only the film of "Former Three" in the cinema. They reluctantly entered the scene, and then found that their collarbone fossa was full of tears when the movie was over.

Is it a memory of your predecessor? Or do you mourn for your lost youth?

tears

An untenable tear

People born in 1990 have higher and higher tears.

The last meeting was scolded by the boss, and everyone could take it in stride. At best, it’s humiliating, at worst, it’s not afraid of being scalded.

But on Monday night, watching the MV of Say No to Cry, people born in 1990 still shed tears.

They didn’t think the song was beautiful either, but why did they cry?

idol

The "power" of idols

People born in 1990 don’t talk about it, but in fact they don’t understand how children are so obsessed with Sean Xiao, YiBo and Li Xian.

This may be because they have a bad memory. They were pretty good when they chased Super Junior.

Han Geng was so handsome.

Plain is true.

Learn to be independent

People born in 1990 no longer think about where to eat midnight snack after work, but honestly go to fitness to continue their lives; Instead of going to disco to sing K with friends on weekends, I read books and do housework to spend a more normal day than working days.

Yes, this group of the earliest post-90s have already started to like doing housework. Cooking for yourself is too lazy to take photos and send friends. Wiping the table and mopping the floor, ironing clothes and cleaning cat hair, I don’t know when it started, these trivial things have brought them more satisfaction than friends’ compliments and politeness.

It is said that the nightclubs have been occupied by the post-00 generation, and people born in 1990 will not have any waves in their hearts.

Plain is true-it’s not just the mentality, but also the pace of life.

The first batch of post-90 s people are almost a group of people who have been concerned and consumed the most by social media in recent years:

The first batch of 90′ s is already cold.

The first batch of post-90s stomachs have collapsed.

The first batch of post-90 s have been divorced.

The first batch was bald after 90.

The first batch of 90-year-olds have become monks.

The first batch of post-90 s has been secularized.

……

I have been written so much that the first batch of post-90 s don’t even know what I am.

Just like at the moment, when they are about to enter the "thirty-year-old", they are inevitably at a loss: Have I really stood still?

That’s why there is such a hot question on Zhihu: "Have you really realized that you are standing at 30?"? However, there is no standard answer to this question, and everyone can only answer it himself.

Fortunately, when people born in 1990 began to seriously think about "standing at 30", they were already on the road to "standing".

But remember, even so, don’t rashly classify the post-90 s as middle-aged people. Middle age has never been a concept only related to age. Who’s not a cutie yet?

You after 90.

How do you plan to meet the upcoming 30 years old?

Tell us about it in the message area.

　　editorial comment/note

Strengthening supervision and fixed-point assistance in key areas of blue sky defense war is an important institutional arrangement made by the party group of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment to ensure winning the blue sky defense war. In May 2019, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment launched a new round of strengthening supervision and fixed-point assistance in key areas, covering 39 cities in Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei and its surrounding areas and Fenwei Plain. The working group helps local governments to find problems, establish accounts, and urge rectification. It not only supervises according to laws and regulations, but also attaches importance to reasonable demands and strengthens assistance and guidance.

Recently, we launched a picture and a story "Strengthening Supervision and Fixed-point Assistance Album", taking you to see the daily work of the on-site working group and listening to the members of the working group.

I feel false when I say it, and I know that the problem needs to go down the well.

Location: an enterprise in Wuyi County, Hengshui City, Hebei Province　

"Where is your pollution control equipment?"

"The roof, it is not good to go up, and you have to go to the next observation well."

"Is the equipment working normally?"

"normal."

"Then let’s go up and have a look … …” After simple communication with the staff of the enterprise, Sun Jin, deputy head of the second round Hengshui Center Group, went straight to the VOCs treatment equipment of the enterprise by strengthening supervision and fixed-point assistance.

It was 12 noon, and many meteorological stations in Hebei Province had hung high-temperature orange warnings. However, adhering to the principle of seeking truth from facts and not letting go of any details, Sun Jin carefully climbed down the observation well on the roof to carefully check the pollution control equipment of the enterprise.

"Your equipment is running normally, but you can see for yourself that only one of the lamps is good, and the usual maintenance is not in place … …” Sun Jin used his long-term experience as the deputy stationmaster of Bozhou Monitoring Station, Anhui Province, keenly found the problems existing in the enterprise and provided suggestions for rectification measures.

After 15 days of strengthening supervision and fixed-point assistance work, Hengshui Central Group adhered to the work style of being rigorous, not afraid of fatigue, highly responsible and skeptical about problems, and must find out the truth, and completed this round of assistance work with good quality and quantity.

Measure the progress of ecological environment protection with footsteps

Location:Jingxing County, Shijiazhuang City, Hebei Province　

A pair of "weather-beaten" shoes recorded 2019— In 2020, the key areas of the Blue Sky Defence War will strengthen supervision and help Liu Yang, a member of the 9 groups in Shijiazhuang in the second round.

In order to confirm that there was selfless excavation in the mine, Liu Yang, from china environmental science Research Institute, regardless of his personal safety, climbed up the mining face to take photos for evidence collection. The slope of the excavation face is steep and loose, and it will slip if it is not careful. Liu Yang’s shoes were completely covered with mud, despite all his caution.

All the staff of 9 groups in Shijiazhuang are strict with themselves and re-implement, and all inspection points must be seen in a down-to-earth manner before they can rest assured. They braved the scorching sun and heat of nearly 40℃ and exchanged their sweat and efforts for the blue sky and white clouds overhead.

Go over the "mountain" and find out.

Location:Zhoujia Town, Huantai County, Zibo City, Shandong Province, China.　

In the scorching sun, several people struggled to climb to the top of the mountain. Soft mounds were washed out of gullies by rain. Looking up from the "foot of the mountain", it looks like "Kuafu" chasing the sun. The personnel sent by East China Supervision Bureau, Nanjing Institute of Environmental Sciences and Zhejiang Province helped the Zibo Central Group in the second round, never letting go of any doubt about air pollution, and turned over the "earth mountain" to find out.

On May 28th, when passing through Zhoujia Town, Huantai County, a continuous "earth mountain" came into view in the distance.

Comrades explored the road in many ways and finally came to the foot of the "Earth Mountain". Everyone climbed to the top with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and immediately saw a large area of abandoned soil and exposed site. There were still many clear ruts in the yard, and a large amount of abandoned soil was obviously just piled up. It is conservatively estimated that the spoil ground covers an area of nearly 50 mu, with the highest point exceeding 10 meters. Because a large amount of abandoned soil is piled up naked, it is easy to produce dust pollution

"Suntanned" All-around Lee Team

Location:Rencheng district, Jining　

Team Li, take a hat and put on some sun protection. The temperature is too high and the sun is too strong these days.

It’s okay. I’ve never been tanned.

This is a group of conversations at the beginning of the work, and the Li team who claimed to be "not sunburned"(left in the middle picture)After a few days, my white face was tanned, and my neck and arms were "distinct". He is the deputy detachment leader of Tianjin Binhai New Area Environmental Administrative Law Enforcement Detachment, and Li Tao, deputy head of Jining Central Group in the second round of strengthening supervision and fixed-point assistance.

Understand the process, check the equipment, find the problem, professional enough. There are various types of enterprises and complex process equipment, but Team Li can count every kind of enterprise, every kind of equipment and every process on the spot, and can accurately diagnose the potential environmental problems and key nodes. The professional skills provide a strong guarantee for the smooth development and successful completion of the verification work. It can not only find problems, but also solve problems, and even give enterprises suggestions on optimizing environmental management. It is praised as an "expert" by enterprises, which has won unanimous praise from enterprises and really achieved supervision and assistance.

"This workshop smells too strong, so don’t come over." "I’ll just go by myself." Team Li, who came from a military background, practiced the purpose of supervision and assistance with the spirit of being particularly hard-working, fighting and dedication. Although people are tanned, their hearts are redder and the sky is bluer. This is the indispensable ecological environment iron army for "winning the blue sky defense war".

"New Battlefield" of "Old Environmental Protection"　

Location:A village in Gaoping County, Jincheng City, Shanxi Province

"As long as the thinking does not decline, the method is always more difficult." In 2019-2020, the key areas of the Blue Sky Defence War will be strengthened and the second round of Jincheng Group 2 will be assisted. Miao Xian, the leader of Jincheng Group 2, always hangs on this mantra.

Miao Xianqing is a 55-year-old grass-roots "old environmental protection" from Suzhou Branch of Jiuquan Ecological Environment Bureau, Gansu Province. Six years’ military career and many years’ experience in the environmental protection front have created his strong will and hard-working character. Facing the new "battlefield" after cross-provincial operations, his always full mental state is his magic weapon to overcome difficulties.

In the front line of work, he is good at summing up and discussing and communicating on the spot, and pays attention to teaching the "True Classics" to other team members in real time. Under the scorching sun, he occasionally feels dizzy and his cervical vertebra is uncomfortable when he is suffering from high blood pressure, but with a tenacity, he has been guiding and checking the key links such as on-site inquiry, viewing information, taking photos and APP entry, and reminding him of the precautions in time. When he met with aerial work to inspect the site, he also stepped forward and took the lead, proving that "old environmental protection" can do everything in the "new battlefield" with practical actions.

Inspired by such a "leader", all members of the team fought in the heat and traveled thousands of miles, forming a positive working force, paying sweat and hard work for the verification of Jincheng’s "coal to electricity" and making due contributions to the blue sky defense war!
