Chen He and his wife Xu Jing are going to remarry? Reveal the top ten bloody events of Chen He’s divorce

Chen He

Stories of former lovers in the entertainment industry are frequent, and dramas such as turning against each other, catching rape, and scolding each other are staged one after another, but in terms of dog blood and excitement, they are far inferior to the Chen He divorce incident, and even the marathon-like "double yellow wrangling war" has been turned into slag in seconds. All kinds of revelations have emerged on the Internet, and of course, there are still some to be confirmed. Let’s put aside the truth or falsehood, let’s sort through one or two first, and everyone will take a look first.

Event one:When did you get divorced? Did you leave? Really leave or leave? It’s all Rashomon

In the whole incident, the most unpredictable estimate is Chen He’s so-called "divorce". When will the divorce be, whether the divorce will be completed, whether it will be a real divorce or a fake divorce, and it is still Rashengmen to this day. From the first time he was kicked out by netizens and divorced, then Chen He announced his divorce in August last year, and it was not until November last year that the divorce was agreed.They are still in an undivorced state,Then there is the "fake divorce" with his wife…It’s really confusing.

According to the inference of Mr. Huang, the person in charge of the "National talent scouting" app, Chen He and Zhang Zixuan only agreed to divorce with his wife after they fell in love with each other in November and December last year, not half a year ago as he said. Someone also told Mr. Huang that Chen He and his wife had a fake divorce at all, because he knew they were filmed.Do not sayleaveMarriage, then the result is infidelity within marriage"If you divorce in August according to what Chen He said, the relationship between the two people should still be at a freezing point at that time. It is impossible to publish a book and show their love on a show. The acting is too good, and it is not in line with human nature. So the time point in November and December is more believable. At that time, he and Zhang Zixuan were in love again."

Event two:If you want to play remarriage before you get divorced, the man agrees that the woman should consider it.

It was still unknown whether the divorce would be completed or not. There were rumors that a high-level official within Huayi had come forward today to help Chen He and Xu Jing remarry. The man actually agreed, but in comparison, the woman’s attitude was relatively cold.

Event three:Chen Heman Airport ran after the photographer and wanted to buy candid photos with money

As early as November 3 last year, Chen He and Zhang Zixuan returned to Beijing together after filming "The Laughing Biography of the Hospital" in Hengdian, and a studio photographer took a photo of Chen He. At first, the reporter did not find the identity of the heroine, and did not want Chen He to find out that the alarm bell was loud after being photographed, and he actually chased the photographer all over the airport. When the reporter saw the photo, he knew that Zhang Zixuan was actually photographed. Of course, Chen He was very polite when he found the reporter and asked why he wanted to shoot him. Later, the male and female protagonists also approached their public relations, hoping to solve the problem with money. Unfortunately, they were all rejected by them.

Event four:The wife of the incident, Xu Jing, is 8 months pregnant and will give birth next month!

It is said that as early as the end of last year, some netizens broke the news that Chen He’s wife Xu Jing was 8 months pregnant.The due date is February this year.But in July last year, the couple also recorded the reality show "True Love is Lost". According to the revelations, Xu Jing was three months pregnant at that time, and the fetus was still unstable, but the show required the couple to travel outdoors together, and the degree of fatigue could be imagined. Therefore, whether Chen He’s wife Xu Jing is pregnant, whether she recorded the show during her pregnancy, and whether the due date is February this yearTo be verified

Event five:Chen He choked up and apologized to fans: I really hope you are all happy!

With more and more insider revelations, Chen He’s image as a good man in the hearts of fans was on the verge of disillusionment. It was said that at this critical juncture, Chen He uploaded an apology voice to the fan group, saying that he was really sorry for everyone, "I really hope each of you is happy and happy, I have let each of you downAlthough the recording was not long, Chen He’s tone was emotional, and his tears were touching. Some fans were very distressed after listening to Chen He’s apology with crying sounds, and called on the outside world not to hurt Chen He again, and not to comment rashly.

Event 6:Zhang Zixuan’s husband was detained for fighting and said he wanted to settle accounts with Chen He

Of course, the story of the heroine Zhang Zixuan is still exciting. According to netizens, her husbandYang Yiliu is a genius from BeiguangHe has written many TV series and movie scripts, and has been favored by many readers for his novel "Finding the Perfect World", and has also received high praise from Haiyan.This person is also a good hand in businessHe has run a clothing store, run a red hotel, and worked as a producer. However, according to Mr. Huang, the head of the "National Star Detective" app, Zhang Zixuan has not yet divorced, and her husband Yang Yiliu has been detained for fighting with others. I don’t know how long he has been detained and whether he has come out.But people have already said that they want to settle accounts with Chen He

Event seven:Both the male and female protagonists are absent from the release of the new drama, originally because they are afraid that Xu Jing will come to the trouble

Time to go back to the day of this fryer, when Chen He and Zhang Zixuan’s "Medical Museum Smile Biography" held a press conference in Anhui. But surprisingly, as the lead actorBoth are absentSo much so that after the incident, some reporters questioned whether this was a "foreplay hype" of a TV drama. In this regard, the whistleblower, Mr. S, revealed that the reason why Chen He and the others did not go to the scene should be that they were afraid that their daughter-in-law would find someone to make trouble. He even deduced that Xu Jing was the "mastermind behind the scenes". "In fact, Chen He kept this matter very secret, and many people didn’t know it. Today, someone suddenly broke the news on Weibo, probably also Xu Jing."

Event 8:Fans advised Chen Hehui to "run man" and were abused by fans

Earlier, it was reported that Chen He would continue to participate in the recording of the second season of "Run! Brothers". When his Weibo post admitted the divorce, a user named "Soft Persimmon Jampasg" left a message: "You can quit the positive energy show Running Man, I won’t scold you, but quit the show, okay?" Chen He immediately replied: "Okay, sorry."Crazy fans by Chen HeFlesh abuse

Event 9:Who betrayed Chen He? Who is the male artist surnamed Wang?

The source of this divorce incident was not initially captured by the media or paparazzi, but ratherThis topic was initiated on Weibo and WeChatThe industry said there was reason to suspect that it should be someone around Chen He who took him "Betray"Yes. The whistleblower also claimed to have exposed the inner circle of the Chen He incidentMale artist surnamed WangThe identity of the person is also thought-provoking,Wang Chuanjun,Wang ZulanandWang BaoqiangAll three were accused of being very suspicious. Chen Lizhi, a veteran in the circle, also suggested that Chen He was "thrown dirty water" by his friends, writing on Weibo: "The so-called brother is when he sees that you are more popular than him, he digs a hole and buries you with more false information in the semi-real. You ask the media to break the news and pay to use the marketing account, aren’t you afraid of being dug up?? "

Event 10:Zhang Zixuan’s bold photo was taken, and Xu Jing praised it "slippery"?

Whether Xu Jing and Zhang Zixuan have had a head-to-head confrontation is still unknown, but it is worth pondering that recently, the netizens "Entertainment Circle Revealed" took out a group of old photos of Zhang Zixuan and wrote: "Zhang Zixuan’s old photos were taken out. It is said that this woman has dated seven boyfriends, the first is Wang Ziyi; the second is Bai Jun; the third is Gu Nan, a small boss; the fourth is Zhao Ming; the fifth is an unknown male model, and it is said that he has also done a flow of people for him; the sixth is his former husband Yang Yiliu; the seventh is Chen He. Zhang Zixuan comes from the circle of young models, which is said to be mostly peripheral women, that is, business partners. It was also rumored that Zhang Zixuan had also interfered in the article Ma Yili Weibo… "Later, careful netizens found that Chen He’s ex-wife Xu Jing praised the Weibo" Secret of the Entertainment Industry ". Many netizens speculated whether this Xu Jing was" slipping "or did it on purpose?

68-Year-old Lin Qingxia was exposed to be divorced, and it was suspected that the third mother forced her away because of her son, and the identity of the interloper was exposed

1: This is the truth that led to Lin Qingxia’s divorce. Xing Liji: I want to make a will

On April 15, someone broke the news that Lin Qingxia’s husband Xing Lijing had a mistress outside and gave birth to an illegitimate child. In fact, it is not very uncommon for men to have extramarital affairs now, and Xing Lijing is also on the Forbes Global Billionaires List ", but it is unimaginable that Lin Qingxia tolerated her husband Xing Lijing’s affair for 20 years.

In fact, this matter has to start from 1992. Lin Qingxia met Hong Kong wealthy businessman Xing Lijing at a party. After a period of time together, Xing Lijing was deeply attracted to this poetic woman Lin Qingxia, so she launched a confession and marriage ceremony. Lin Qingxia may have felt that their understanding was not enough to advance to the point of marriage, so she rejected Xing Lijing, but something happened later that made Lin Qingxia completely accept Xing Lijing in her heart.

Not long after rejecting Xing Lijing at that time, Lin Qingxia was going to Shanghai to film a play. After a long time of hard work and irregular diet, Lin Qingxia’s body was in a state of illness and was hospitalized. Xing Lijing, who learned the news, immediately put down all the work at hand to take care of Lin Qingxia, and brought Lin Qingxia’s favorite hairy crab from the local area. At that time, Lin Qingxia was quite touched. After much deliberation and testing, Lin Qingxia finally agreed to Xing Lijing’s marriage proposal half a year later, and the two began a sweet love affair.

On June 29, 1994, Lin Qingxia and Xing Liji held their wedding in San Francisco, USA. At that time, the number of people invited was not large. Except for their relatives, the rest were their very good friends.

After the two got married, Xing Liji also loved Lin Qingxia very much. He bought all the best things for Lin Qingxia, such as gems the size of pigeon eggs, mansions, etc., just to win Lin Qingxia’s happiness and love. On January 2, 1996, Lin Qingxia gave birth to a daughter for Xing Liji, named Xing Ailin. This name also wanted to let each other know their love for each other.

After a lapse of five years, in 2001, Lin Qingxia gave birth to a daughter for Xing Lihui again, named Xing Yanai. At that time, Lin Qingxia was already 47 years old and had already entered the age of advanced maternal age, but she was willing to take the risk again to give birth to a child for Xing Lihui, which is enough to show the relationship between the two.

After that, the lives of the two were seen by everyone on the screen. The attendance of various business circles, the dazzling array of jewelry, luxury cars, and luxury houses were given to each other, showing love and sweetness, which made people envious. But yesterday, April 15th, someone broke the news that Lin Qingxia was forced to divorce, and the third mother was expensive.

According to the revelation: Xing Liji cheated on her marriage, and the woman even gave birth to a son. The whistleblower said that his friend and wife worked in Lin Qingxia’s husband’s company 20 years ago. Everyone knows about Xing Liji’s adoption of "Xiaosan". The company said that Xiaosan is in the company and works. It can be said that she is young and beautiful. Her work in the company is mainly responsible for training. After the two were together, the woman gave birth to a son for Xing Liji and has been raising him in Shanghai. The most infuriating thing is that Xiaosan’s arrogance has provoked Lin Qingxia many times.

It is said that as early as around 2001, Xing Lihui had already cheated, and after Lin Qingxia gave birth to her second child, the third child also gave birth smoothly. Compared with Lin Qingxia, both children were daughters, and the third child also relied on Xing Lihui to give birth to a son, which was particularly valued by Xing Liji. It was precisely for this reason that the third child dared to provoke Lin Qingxia many times and forced her to divorce.

At that time, Xing Liji’s love for Lin Qingxia had not subsided, so Xiao San’s "conspiracy" did not succeed, but it is different today.

If the revelations were true, Xing Liji’s illegitimate son was in his early 20s this year. As the only male in Xing Liji’s family, Xing Liji would not let his son carry the stigma of "illegitimate child" all the time. In addition, Xing Liji’s huge industry also needs to be inherited and passed down.

According to relevant reports: Xing Li, chairman of the board of directors of Hong Kong Esprit Global Holdings, the 875th place on the Forbes global billionaire list, sits on 14 billion assets, which is also a top priority for Xing Li, while Lin Qingxia has worked hard for many years but did not give Xing Li a son. According to the traditional concept of China for thousands of years, the inheritance of the family business must be male first. Some people broke the news that Xing Li made a will and wanted to distribute the property to his son. He also wanted his son to manage the family business justifiably, which led to the "forced palace" original match, the little third mother is expensive by the child, and the upper position is successful.

In fact, before marrying Xing Liji, Lin Qingxia’s love history was also complicated, entangled for many years but ended in vain. Among them, the most attention was the love entanglement with Qin and Han Dynasties.

2: Qin Han: "I can’t lose you, but I love Lin Qingxia very much

In 1972, when Lin Qingxia was filming her first film "Outside the Window", she developed feelings for Qin Han, a married man who also starred in the film.

Before Lin Qingxia met Qin Han himself, she was his fan girl. This time, Lin Qingxia was even more infatuated with him. During the filming process, there were kissing scenes.

But at that time, Qin Han was already a married man. His wife was white and beautiful, and her family had money and power. Her power should not be underestimated.

Lin Qingxia "lost to" ignorance and ignorance. Knowing that Qin Han already had a family, she still fell in love with him without hesitation, and did not hesitate to bear the infamy of "Xiao San" to be together. Her mother really couldn’t see it, and explained to the media on the spot: The two are just colleagues at work, and nothing else is possible.

At that time, Qin Han was in love with Lin Qingxia, both of whom were reluctant to give up. The public opinion grew louder and louder. Qin Han’s wife also knew about it. Qin Han thought for a while and confessed to his wife: I can’t lose you, but I love Lin Qingxia very much.

It just so happened that the overwhelming public opinion commented on the two. Under the public opinion, Qin Han did not come forward to defend Lin Qingxia. In a fit of anger, Lin Qingxia chose to break up. This relationship ended for the first time.

In 1978, Qiong Yao’s new work "A Red Bean" began filming, and the actors were Qin Han and Lin Qingxia. The two reunited again, and they loved each other. The reunion rekindled the old relationship between the two, regardless of gossip, and insisted on being together. At that time, Qin Han proposed divorce to his wife for Lin Qingxia many times. The wife said: You can get a divorce, but Qin and Han are not allowed to remarry within 10 years. Qin and Han repeatedly rejected his wife, but it angered Lin Qingxia. She could not see the hope of being with Qin and Han and flew to the United States to live.

In order to recover his true love for Lin Qingxia, Qin Han finally got the divorce certificate after many efforts. After that, he simply packed his bags and immediately flew to the United States to find Lin Qingxia.

After several on-again, off-again, together again, the two have no identity shackles to accompany, and they are together without any worries. No matter how beautiful love is, it can’t be worth the firewood, rice, oil and salt of the long years. After the two got back together for half a year, there were many fierce quarrels, and finally the two broke up and said goodbye to each other completely.

3: Lin Qingxia is "a complete exhibitionist". Directly scare away friend Zhang Shuping

The ups and downs of love made Lin Qingxia meet her current male girlfriend Zhang Shuping by chance. The two gradually became friends who talked about everything. When Lin Qingxia was frustrated in her relationship, she cried to Zhang Shuping. After a long time, the relationship between the two became closer and closer.

According to the news, on Lin Qingxia’s 66th birthday, Lin Qingxia’s new book happened to be released on the same day. In the book, Lin Qingxia talked loudly about her feelings with her male best friend Zhang Shuping, and even ignored her rich husband Xing Li < unk >. Lin Qingxia claimed that she had shared nude photos with her friend Zhang Shuping and asked him if he "looked good". Zhang Shuping was directly scared away. Later, Lin Qingxia became a complete exhibitionist. Later, Lin Qingxia broke the news that she had also distributed swimsuit photos to the neighborhood. I don’t know if Lin Qingxia’s long American career changed Lin Qingxia’s conservative traditional concept and became enthusiastic.

4: 1.80 billion mansion turned to ashes overnight, Lin Qingxia understated: They are all very good, Lin Qingxia and her husband Xing Liji, how rich are they?

In the first half of 2022, the news of a fire house attracted attention. The White Goose Mountain mid-level mansion in Taiwan suddenly caught fire at 0:00 in the morning. The mansion covers an area of 4645 square meters on three floors, and the owner of the mansion is Lin Qingxia. It was a gift from her husband Xing Li < unk > to Lin Qingxia at the age of 60 and the 20th anniversary. It is said that the total value is as high as 1.10 billion Hong Kong dollars.

The mansion was surrounded by beautiful scenery and was very suitable for living. When Xing Liwei bought this mansion, he considered Lin Qingxia’s personal safety the most. High walls, gates, barbed wire, sensors, and alarms were installed outside the house.

The fire broke out at that time, but fortunately there were no casualties. The 18 servants, plus the two drivers, were all safe and sound. When Lin Qingxia was interviewed at that time, she just said lightly: All are well, thank you for your concern. There was no sign of sadness about the loss of the mansion.

It is said that at that time, there were a total of 18 servants in the mansion, and each person’s monthly salary started at 5000, and the salary of a moonlight was as high as 90,000, as well as the cost of cats and dogs. About thirty or forty thousand yuan a month, and the cost of a moonlight mansion is about 500,000.

According to reports, Lin Qingxia’s husband Xing Li Bing ranked 875 on the 2020 Forbes Global Billionaires List with a fortune of $2.40 billion in 2020. In 2021, he was listed as the 34th richest gang in Hong Kong, China. It shows that his strong strength and strong family background make Lin Qingxia, who only had two daughters, only end in divorce in his later years.

5: In the face of Xiaosan’s provocation, Lin Qingxia can face it calmly, in fact, there is a reason

On April 15th, Lin Qingxia was exposed and was forced to take the position by the third child. In fact, Lin Qingxia did not put it in her heart at all for the various coercion and inducement of the third child, and the means of door-to-door demonstration. Lin Qingxia could face the yelling and nonsense of the third child calmly and compete with it for many years. This is closely related to Lin Qingxia’s love history over the years and her years in the entertainment industry.

Everyone knows that Lin Qingxia used to be the most beautiful woman in Hong Kong, and she attracted much attention everywhere. First, she fell in love with her first love, Goufeng, who was also a famous singer at that time. At that time, Lin Qingxia was only 18 years old. It was considered a puppy love. Usually, puppy love is fruitless. After a period of sweet love, the two ended up in vain.

Later, Lin Qingxia became a married Qin Han because of the play, and the two quickly fell in love, regardless of public opinion and moral judgment. Lin Qingxia also walked with Qin Han as a mistress.

The scene of dog blood is that the 28-year-old Qin Xianglin and Xiao Fangfang divorced soon and were fortunate to meet Lin Qingxia. Whether it was love at first sight or a sexual uprising, Qin Xianglin was deeply attracted by Lin Qingxia’s beauty, so he launched a strong pursuit.

Qin Han, Qin Xianglin, and Lin Qingxia’s complex "love triangle" relationship has been entangled with each other for many years. They have all had each other, and they have not been able to grow old together as they wished.

During this period, Lin Qingxia also had a rather dull love affair with Zhao Ning, the author of "Crown" magazine. The two only had a beginning and an end, without an earth-shattering process. Later, they were in love with their current husband, Xing Li, but they both failed to fulfill their original vows to grow old.

Therefore, when it comes to the mistress who cheated on her marriage, Lin Qingxia will not pay attention to her many times of door-to-door provocation and shouting. It is like watching a "jumping clown". Even if you have thousands of measurements, I can’t stand it. My heart is like a rock, and I don’t move at all. If it wasn’t for her husband Xing Lihui’s justification for his son’s name, it might not have been possible for her to rise to the top.

Tong Mengshi’s "Qingyu Nian 2" finale, the perfect transformation of Wuzhu attracts the audience

 As the youngest of Fan Xian’s six fathers, Tong Mengshi played Wuzhu, and audiences have been eagerly anticipating his appearance since the broadcast of "Qingyu Nian 2". According to Tong Mengshi, in addition to makeup and rest, 90% of the time on the set is to wear blindfolds, which are almost completely invisible during night scenes, and need to rely on audible identification to complete the performance. During the day, you can follow the figure while filming blindfolded, but at night it is more troublesome and requires repeated shots. This extreme interpretation method and the difficulty of performing make Wuzhu’s role more engaging, but it also tests the actor’s acting skills.

  As a robot, Wuzhu itself is fundamentally different from humans in terms of emotion, cognition and behavior. When interpreting Wuzhu, Tong Mengshi is required to present the robot’s mechanical characteristics and artificial intelligence behavior patterns through precise body control, suppression of emotional expression and special processing of voice. In terms of body language, Tong Mengshi makes the audience feel the non-human characteristics of the character through repeated and meticulous practice. Every shot of Wuzhu is precise and decisive, like a sharp sword unsheathed, showing its sharp edge. In terms of language performance, Tong Mengshi’s feeling of language frustration in the corner of Wuzhu is also in place. The electronic voice and intonation of the character design enhance the character’s convincing power, allowing the audience to enter the play in one second.

  The segment that moved the audience was the mutual trust between Wuzhu and Fan Xian. On the wedding night, Wuzhu secretly sneaked into Fan’s mansion to give advice. Wuzhu, who was confused with memory, didn’t even dare to believe himself, but still chose to protect and trust Fan Xian. He was no longer the mechanical existence who would only follow orders and perform tasks, but a living individual with his own thoughts, emotions and choices. In terms of emotional expression, Tong Mengshi skillfully completed Wuzhu’s evolution from rationality to sensibility, not only maintaining the essential characteristics of the robot, but also showing its gradually awakening human face, adding human warmth to the cold and treacherous world of martial arts.

  Tong Mengshi’s portrayal of the character of Wuzhu in "Qingyu Nian 2" reflects a high degree of physical training and emotional regulation ability, and has a deep understanding and analysis of the role of Wuzhu, which is affectionately called "Xiao Zhuzhu" by the audience. Next, Tong Mengshi also has "National Color Youth", "Qianqiu Ling", "New God Condor Heroes", "Fox Demon Little Matchmaker King Power", "Young White Horse Drunk Spring Breeze" and "Real Warrior" to be broadcast, which is worth looking forward to.

The takeaway platform is now "clone shop": how do these stores pass the review?

  It is also the "Wangjing Small Waist", but the taste of the food produced in the store and the food ordered on the takeaway platform are very different, and there is actually a "mystery" behind it. A reporter from Beijing Youth Daily investigated and found that some stores registered on the takeaway platform under the name of "Wangjing Small Waist" and sold skewers. Some "clone shops" "curled up" in the corner of other stores, operated in the form of "shop-in-shop", and "shipped" through the takeaway platform. The hygiene conditions in the store are not optimistic.

  In addition, a reporter from Beiqing Daily found that on some takeaway platforms, the name of the store can be filled in by yourself, which objectively creates an opportunity for "clone shops". The well-known old store "Wangjing Xiaoyao" responded that it has not opened a store on the takeaway platform and does not have a "franchise" relationship with takeaway merchants. A staff member said that because the trademark of "Wangjing Xiaoyao" was registered by others, it was difficult to protect its rights when encountering similar "clone shops".

  phenomenon

  There are many "Wangjing Small Waist" on the takeaway platform.

  Customers complain about the taste

  In summer, drinking and eating skewers has become the first choice for many people’s late-night supper, and takeaway platforms have provided more convenience. But the same "Wangjing Small Waist" has a polarized reputation on takeaway platforms and food recommendations. Many citizens said that "Wangjing Small Waist", which orders food through takeaway platforms, tastes "wrong".

  "It’s completely different from what I ate before. The noodles are old, astringent, fishy, and hard…" Tang Xin (a pseudonym) couldn’t help but complain after tasting the tinfoil-wrapped "Wangjing Small Waist" takeaway barbecue, and gave a bad review. Tang Xin told the Beiqing Daily reporter that he had eaten the "Wangjing Small Waist" barbecue in Wangjing before, "the noodles are fresh, and the seasoning is moderate." The takeaway platform marked the barbecue of the branch, "The meat is not fresh, the things are either too salty, too fishy, or tasteless, and it doesn’t feel like something from a store."

  There are not a few buyers who have the same questions as Tang Xin. On the takeaway platform, under a store labeled "Wangjing Small Waist (New Food Street) ", some buyers bluntly said that "I didn’t pay attention to the wrong store, no wonder it looks and tastes different from before"; in another store review of "Wangjing Small Waist (Dongdan Store) ", some buyers suspected that the goods were not fresh, resulting in "crazy diarrhea in the middle of the night"; and in the comment area of "Wangjing Small Waist (Tuanjiehu) " store, many buyers commented that "there is a bad smell" and asked "Is this really Wangjing Small Waist?"

  For a time, some "Wangjing Small Waist" on the takeaway platform encountered word-of-mouth "Waterloo". This is different from the "Wangjing Small Waist" store that received four-star praise on the food recommendation.

  Multiple takeaways "Wangjing Small Waist"

  The signboard does not match the actual name

  A reporter from Beiqing Daily searched for "Wangjing Small Waist" on the Ele.me, Meituan takeaway and Baidu takeaway platforms and found that more than 15 stores used the name "Wangjing Small Waist" (× × branch). Among them, many merchants also used pictures printed with the words "Wangjing Small Waist" on a black background and yellow frame as sign photos.

  According to the addresses of several branches of "Wangjing Small Waist" left on the takeaway platform, the reporter of Beiqing Daily randomly visited. In front of the address of a "branch" in Jintaili, Chaoyang District, the reporter of Beiqing Daily noticed that the name of the store’s sign is so-and-so skewers, and "Wangjing Small Waist" is juxtaposed with "Seafood Fried", which is located below the name of the sign, with smaller words. When the reporter of Beiqing Daily asked the owner "whether it is an authentic’Wangjing Small Waist ‘barbecue restaurant," the owner responded that he had set up a barbecue stall in Wangjing many years ago and later moved here. "At first, our family had small skewers of kidneys," but the question of whether it was authentic was avoided. The Beiqing Daily reporter noticed that on the paper menu of this store, the name of a certain string bar was displayed, and "Wangjing Small Waist" was only one of the specialties.

  Later, a reporter from Beiqing Daily visited the "Wangjing Small Waist" of Tuanjiehu Store. He observed that the paper menu issued by the barbecue restaurant to diners read "Love Barbecue" instead of "Wangjing Small Waist". What’s more strange is that the physical menu of this barbecue restaurant does not have a dish named "Wangjing Small Waist", while the menu of the takeaway platform has "Wangjing Small Waist": a skewer costs 3 yuan, and the price of 5 skewers is 14.8 yuan after discount. But the owner of the barbecue restaurant has repeatedly stressed that his home is an authentic "Wangjing Small Waist". "We are a franchise store of Wangjing Small Waist Old Store, and the skewers and seasonings are all taken from Wangjing Main Store." As for the full name and specific location of the main store, the boss did not explain why the menu says "Love Barbecue".

  detail

  There is takeaway "Wangjing Small Waist".

  Use Malatang Shop Business License

  Visitors found that the store called "Wangjing Small Waist (× × Shop) " on the takeaway platform was actually "curled up" in a corner of a Malatang store, covering an area of about 5 square meters, with an inverted "L" shape. The door was in the Malatang store, with a window facing the road, and the sign "Wangjing Small Waist" hung above the window.

  The Beijing Youth Daily reporter noticed that in the information of the "merchant" of the takeaway platform, this "Wangjing Xiaoyao" used the business license of Malatang Restaurant, and the photo of the door of the dine-in restaurant displayed was also different from the actual situation. The owner of Malatang Restaurant introduced that he and the barbecue restaurant are two stores. "We rented a place for them to cook barbecue, and they (who do barbecue) basically don’t open until 5:30 pm, and only deliver takeout."

  At about 8 p.m. on June 16, a reporter from Beiqing Daily came to "Wangjing Xiaoyao (× × Shop) " again and saw several food delivery staff from the takeaway platform gathered outside the window, waiting to pick up the meal. In the barbecue shop, two young men, one shirtless, were holding multiple orders to prepare dishes, brush oil and sprinkle seasonings, and the other was grilling dishes on the barbecue grill with his back. After the food was baked, the shirtless man wrapped it in tinfoil, covered it with paper and plastic bags, and handed it to the delivery staff. The reporter from Beiqing Daily asked the boss if he could eat in the restaurant, and the boss replied that "yes", but he had to borrow the tables and chairs in the Malatang shop.

  A reporter from Beiqing Daily observed that in this small store covering an area of about 5 square meters, there are freezers, microwave ovens, and multi-layer shelves with skewers of meat and vegetables. Oil stains, paper orders, disposable plastic bags, and empty bottles are all over the ground, and microwave ovens and barbecue grills are also covered with oil stains. In the back seat of an electric car outside the window, there is a raw meat skewer skewers skewed in plastic boxes, and flies are flying around the meat skewers.

  The "clone" store of the takeaway platform

  How to pass the review?

  According to previous media reports, "Wangjing Xiaoyao (Old Store) ", which has received praise from many star diners and food websites, actually has a 20-year brand history and currently has four branches, the first store is located in Wangjing.

  On the 18th, as a diner, a reporter from Beiqing Daily asked whether the merchant had opened multiple branches on the takeaway platform. The other party said that they had not opened a store on the takeaway platform, nor did they have a "franchise" relationship with the takeaway merchant. "We also received many calls from diners complaining that the takeaway and the tasting of the food were different, and we felt cheated. But in fact, the takeaway merchant used our name and store photos to mislead everyone. Considering the taste of the meat, we only have dine-in food now, not takeaway."

  Regarding some takeaway merchants who cloned the name of "Wangjing Small Waist" and used the store’s signboard photos for publicity, the relevant person in charge said that they also "have no way". "[We] can only be regarded as an old store passed down by word of mouth now, because the trademark of" Wangjing Small Waist "has been registered by others, so we have no way to protect our rights."

  The name of the takeaway store is inconsistent with the name of the physical store. The photos of dine-in food displayed on the platform are different from those of the brick and mortar store. How did these "clone" stores appear on the takeaway platform pass the review? Recently, a reporter from Beiqing Daily called several major takeaway platforms as a merchant. The customer service staff said that the business license and food business license information should be submitted on the website first. After passing the machine moderation, the regional sales manager will contact the merchant later.

  Previously, a reporter from Beiqing Daily submitted relevant information on a takeaway platform and successfully registered the store. He found that the content of "store name" can be filled in at will. In addition, a reporter from Beiqing Daily recently called a number of takeaway stores that cloned "Wangjing Small Waist". Many merchants recalled that registering a "Wangjing Small Waist" branch on the takeaway platform "does not require any materials, just fill it in by yourself, and the platform and manager will not specifically ask you to (provide) proof." However, a customer service staff said that the sales manager will be arranged to "check the store" later to check the submitted license, and whether the brick and mortar store and the dine-in photos on the takeaway platform are consistent.

The local "counterattack" of domestic soda

Narrow broadcast Zhang Wei

Since January, following the "bankruptcy storm" of Tianfu Cola, domestic sodas such as Arctic Ocean and Hongbaolai have also received an unexpected wave of attention.

Just like Tianfu Cola was on the verge of discontinuing production, the domestic soda in people’s minds was struggling to survive in the gap between the Coca-Cola and Pepsi markets. After all, after years of silence, after the return of domestic soda, the domestic beverage market has long been "changed", and it is too difficult to compete for a place.

But is that really the case?

Taking Meituan data as an example, Laoshan Coke, Hongbaolai, Tianfu Coke and other domestic beverages, Meituan sales in the first half of 2022 increased by more than 150% compared with the same period last year; another media report, the sales of Dayao soda in 2021 are estimated to reach about 3 billion; Arctic Ocean has achieved 13 million revenue in just 3 years, becoming one of the favorite sodas of local consumers in Beijing…

Aside from regional cognitive biases, domestic soda is far better than people imagine.

After the epidemic, local retail has become the first choice for consumers to shop fast. With more and more consumers choosing to spend nearby, the local retail industry has also developed new formats such as instant retail, and local consumption has further accumulated the power of recovery.

Therefore, relying on the advantages of the birthplace, based on local roots, focusing on serving local consumers, and relying on instant retail formats such as Meituan, online traffic is converted into offline actual purchasing power, forming a geographical advantage and becoming a new driving force for the development of domestic soda.

In the 1980s, when the sales of domestic sodas were hot, there was a grand occasion of "one place and one soda water". When Tianfu Coke and other domestic sodas rose, the regional market was divided again, presenting a "hundred flowers bloom" situation, and the domestic soda market will no longer have only two pleasures.

"Ups and downs in life"

"Tianfu Coke has stopped production?" "Can’t drink Tianfu Coke anymore?" In January this year, Tianfu Coke was on the hot search due to the bankruptcy storm. After that, Tianfu Coke officially refuted the rumor, and Chairperson Jiang Lin also publicly responded: "It is the old enterprise that went bankrupt, and Tianfu Coke is still in normal production and operation."

After several "confrontations", Tianfu Cola has been "a blessing in disguise", and its attention has continued to rise, driving consumers’ "buying enthusiasm". Taking Meituan data as an example, Tianfu Cola’s instant retail weekly orders increased by 172% year-on-year, achieving a reversal in sales of carbonated beverages in the off-season. Many consumers outside Sichuan and Chongqing have gradually come to know this time-honored domestic soda with a light herbal flavor.

A piece of history must be mentioned here. Since the 1980s, a number of domestic sodas such as Tianfu Cola have experienced the "ups and downs of life" from glory to loneliness.

Under the influence of many factors such as limited production capacity and high transportation costs, the domestic soda market was dominated by domestic brands in the 1980s. Domestic sodas such as Laoshan Cola, Arctic Ocean, and Asian soda have even become iconic symbols of the cities where they are located. Tianfu Cola was also at its peak during that period, and its share in the domestic cola market was as high as 75%.

With the entry of Coca-Cola and Pepsi, the domestic soda market has undergone tremendous changes.

In 1994, Tianfu Cola and Pepsi Cola jointly established Chongqing Pepsi Tianfu Company. Since then, Pepsi has gradually reduced the production of Tianfu Cola’s products, causing Tianfu Cola’s market share to decline and almost disappear from the market.

In the same year, Arctic Ocean finally went out of production after its joint venture with Pepsi. After Guangzhou Asia Soda, Shenyang Bawangsi, Tianjin Shanhaiguan, and Qingdao Laoshan were all acquired, domestic soda brands were collectively frozen, and Liangle eventually occupied most of the domestic market.

Until 2007, after a long negotiation, Arctic Ocean regained the trademark and use rights on the condition that it would not produce any carbonated beverages for four years. In 2009, Tianfu Cola also began to claim back the brand from Pepsi. Domestic soda brands gradually recovered, Arctic Ocean classic glass bottles of orange-flavored soda reappeared on the market, Tianfu Cola officially made a comeback, and other domestic sodas also returned one after another.

The source of the "bankruptcy storm" of Tianfu Cola this time is the mixed ownership reform initiated after Tianfu Cola’s comeback. In 2018, Chongqing Textile Group, the wholly-owned parent company of Tianfu Cola Group, implemented the mixed system reform and passed on the brand, formula and operation to the new Tianfu Cola (Chongqing) Beverage Co., Ltd.

Therefore, the announcement issued by the Fifth Intermediate People’s Court of Chongqing this time is the bankruptcy liquidation announcement of the old company, which will not affect the normal operation and production of Tianfu Cola. Tianfu Cola officials can also respond positively, "Everyone can still drink Tianfu Cola with confidence, we are always there."

Local "reboot"

For a long time, consumers outside Sichuan and Chongqing have a weak awareness of Tianfu Cola. The hot news of the bankruptcy is ultimately due to people’s concerns about the development status of time-honored brands. Consumers generally recognize that the old domestic beverages are struggling to survive in the new consumption environment.

What is the current situation of the development of domestic soda?

In July last year, Meituan released a set of data, with Hongbaolai, Tianfu Cola, Arctic Ocean, Bingfeng and other major Guochao beverages, sales in the first half of 2022 increased by more than 150% compared with the same period last year; Inner Mongolia’s domestic beverage kiln soda sales in 2021 were estimated to reach 3 billion yuan; Bingfeng opened the road of IPO, although it has since withdrawn the application materials, but also outstanding performance in the domestic soda market. According to the prospectus, Bingfeng’s four main products sold a total of 292 million bottles/cans in 2020.

During the World Cup in Qatar, Arctic Ocean’s advertising landed on CCTV’s core channel. Today, whether it is in Beijing’s large and small restaurants, supermarket convenience stores, or retail platforms such as Meituan, Arctic Ocean is one of the favorite carbonated drinks of local consumers in Beijing, and even achieved 13 million revenue in just three years.

We know that, limited by the production, supply chain and other practical problems, domestic soda prices compared to the two music has no advantage, in such a competition landscape, how to maintain a good momentum of development?

First of all, from a historical perspective, domestic soda has accumulated many years of product reputation and national tide feelings in the local area. It is a childhood memory that belongs to a generation, and even a city’s memory, with natural advantages for local development. The media once reported the lively scene of Tianfu Coke’s comeback in 2016: consumers in Chongqing ran four streets just to buy a bottle of Tianfu Coke at a convenience store.

In terms of consumption habits, domestic sodas from various places are more in line with the dietary preferences of local consumers. For example, Tianfu Cola’s main herbal sugar-free flavor, with Chongqing hot pot with heavy spicy and heavy oil, is more cool and greasy; Hongbaolai’s most distinctive lychee soda, the origin is that the people of Northeast China have a lychee dream, and the development of lychee soda has met the taste needs of local consumers to the greatest extent.

All of the above, domestic soda has found a development direction from the road of taking root in the local area. Especially after the epidemic, local retail has become the first choice for consumers to shop quickly. More and more consumers choose to spend nearby. The local retail industry has also developed new formats such as instant retail. From the certainty that takeaway goods will arrive in half an hour, local consumption has further accumulated the strength of recovery.

Yuan Wei, marketing director of Tianfu Cola, has been paying attention to the development of Tianfu Cola’s new retail channels. He mentioned that with the changing consumption habits of young people, buy-and-reach can better meet the purchasing habits of local consumers. "The launch of Meituan in local convenience stores can promote the exposure of Tianfu Cola in young people, and at the same time increase the sales rate of Tianfu Cola’s products in Sichuan and Chongqing."

Being rooted in the local area has brought about a considerable increase in sales. Even without the surge in sales caused by this bankruptcy, as early as July last year, media reports mentioned that Tianfu Coke’s sales in Meituan market, Meituan flash sale and other instant retail platforms have increased by more than 5 times.

"Waiting for an Opportunity" Extension

Even if the development momentum is good, why are consumers generally worried about the status quo of domestic soda?

The main reason for this is that geographical advantages also bring geographical restrictions. Industry experts have mentioned in the analysis of domestic soda that it is difficult for time-honored brands to win by relying on feelings. The geographical attributes hinder their long-term development, and the regional culture is obvious. It is difficult to develop a market suitable for local local culture in other places.

Consumers are also accustomed to comparing domestic soda and Liangle. In the current carbonated beverage market, Coca-Cola and Pepsi still firmly occupy the top position or even a duopoly. According to the data of the Prospective Industry Research Institute, as early as 2019, Coca-Cola’s market share was 59.5%, Pepsi was 32.7%, and the two giants had occupied more than 92% of the market share.

In the words of Jiang Lin, chairperson of Tianfu Cola, Tianfu Cola is "ants and elephants" compared to these two giants.

But this situation is gradually changing. According to public data, in 2020, China’s carbonated beverage production reached 18.453 million tons, an increase of 5.8% year-on-year, contrary to the previous situation of no growth for many years; in 2021, the output reached 19.713 million tons, an increase of 6.8% year-on-year.

From a practical perspective, it is indeed limited for domestic soda to become bigger and stronger, but as long as it firmly occupies the local dominant position, while serving more local consumers living in other places, it becomes a small and beautiful brand, and then gradually expands to the periphery, the development prospects are still promising.

Here, for example, the Northeast-made soda, Hongbaolai. For 30 years, Hongbaolai has never stopped producing traditional glass bottle soda. In the eyes of Wang Yang, the e-commerce manager of Hongbaolai, insisting on making glass bottle soda is Hongbaolai’s feelings, and it also comes from confidence in the taste of local consumers. "For example, our glass bottle lychee soda is Hongbaolai’s signature, and Northeasterners recognize this taste."

In 2021, Hongbaolai began to test the waters to expand the foreign market. It is still the traditional glass bottle soda, but with the help of new retail channels such as Meituan Preferred, the young people in Northeast China can find the taste of their hometown in the traditional lychee soda.

Hongbaolai has also achieved retail sales growth outside the three northeastern provinces. Since 2021, Hongbaolai soda has started from Jilin, from the black land of Northeast China to Shanxi and Hebei, and has also gone south to explore the central and southern China markets. According to Meituan data, in addition to the three northeastern provinces, Hongbaolai soda is also deeply loved by users in Nanjing, Beijing, Wuhu, Xuzhou, Nantong and other cities. Sales in the first half of 2022 have also increased by more than 100% year-on-year.

As food industry analyst Zhu Danpeng has previously analyzed, domestic soda has certain emotional advantages in the regional market, but they have missed the best opportunity for rapid expansion. "Now what they have to do is to do a good job in the local core market and wait for opportunities to expand."

The deputy mayor was reported for driving an online car to earn extra money, and the Commission for Discipline Inspection said there was no case to be based on

  Hong Sheng, 38, is the deputy mayor of Wangcun Town, Shexian County, Huangshan County, Anhui Province. In mid-May, he registered as a car owner on Didi’s online car-hailing platform in a difficult situation. At 9 am on June 15, he was checked while taking orders during working hours and was reported to the Discipline Inspection Commission. Staff members of the Shexian County Discipline Inspection Commission said that online car-hailing is a new thing in the local area, and they have never encountered any cases where officials were reported for driving online cars part-time. The Discipline Inspection Commission is currently investigating the matter and reporting to its superiors.

  The Vice Mayor’s family is in financial difficulties

  I opened an online car appointment and pulled more than 300 orders.

  On the morning of June 15, near a community in the Shexian Development Zone, a black car was stopped by a taxi as soon as it stopped to let passengers off, and the driver of the "black car" was identified as Hong Sheng, the deputy mayor of Wangcun Town. Hong Sheng said that this was the first time he encountered such a thing, and he was nervous. Coupled with the fact that the meeting was about to start, he left the car at the scene and left first. On the morning of June 16, some netizens posted this on the Huangshan Civic Forum, which quickly became a hot post on the forum. The netizens questioned why Hong Sheng earned extra money during working hours, and also wondered why a deputy mayor would go to the Internet to receive orders and solicit customers?

  It is understood that Hong Sheng was elected as the deputy mayor of Wangcun Town in Shexian County in February 2015, in charge of agriculture, forestry, water and other work. According to media reports, Hong Sheng’s family is more difficult, with children alone, and the elderly to support, but he never said this in the unit.

  Hong Sheng said that his monthly salary is just over 3,000 yuan. His parents in their 60s and 70s are gradually unable to work, they still have children to support, and he suffers from ventilation. He owes more than 14,000 yuan for medical expenses alone, most of which are borrowed from his sister. Because money is tight, he chose to open an online car-hailing service. Screenshots from the exposed car-hailing software show that Hong Sheng has pulled more than 300 orders in total.

  The Commission for Discipline Inspection says that online car-hailing is a new thing

  I have never encountered such a situation before

  A reporter from Beijing Youth Daily called the Shexian Commission for Discipline Inspection. A staff member said that the case of Hong Sheng, the deputy mayor, driving an online car was true. The public report received the day before yesterday has been accepted by the Discipline Inspection Commission’s letter and call room. At present, the relevant staff are trying the case. "We first need to find out some information, such as when Hong Sheng used to drive the car, whether it was a public or private car, how many orders he pulled, and how much profit he made. Now it is under investigation. It is incorrect to talk about the punishment for him before these facts are clear." After the incident, Hong Sheng reported the matter to the party committee and government, and took the initiative to admit the mistake. He also wrote a situation statement, which is the content of the investigation of the Discipline Inspection Commission.

  Is it a foul for officials to use their commute time to drive online car-hailing? Apart from the sensitive factor of online car-hailing, is it okay for officials to use their off-duty time to take part-time jobs such as delivering express deliveries? The staff of the Discipline Inspection Commission said that Didi and other online car-hailing software are considered a new thing in Shexian County, and they have never encountered such a situation before, so there is no case to be based on. For Hongsheng’s case, the Discipline Inspection Commission will first consult the party discipline regulations to find relevant evidence, and will also ask the superior for instructions.

  Did not use their position and authority

  "Atypical Discipline Violation" Test Local Discipline Inspection Commission

  Did Hong Sheng’s behavior violate party discipline?

  According to the latest "Disciplinary Regulations of the Communist Party of China", Article 88 stipulates that those who engage in profit-making activities in violation of relevant regulations and the circumstances are relatively minor shall be given a warning or a serious warning; if the circumstances are serious, they shall be revoked from their positions within the party or placed on probation; if the circumstances are serious, they shall be given a **** punishment.

  The sixth act contained in the provisions of Article 88 is "other for-profit activities in violation of relevant regulations."

  Zhuang Deshui, deputy director of the Research Center for Clean Government Construction at Peking University, told the Beijing Youth Daily reporter that according to the regulations on party discipline, party members and leading cadres are not allowed to engage in profit-making activities, whether they are working hours or non-working hours. In this regard, Hongsheng not only engages in profit-making activities, but also "drives a black car". It is also during working hours, and there is indeed a violation of discipline.

  Zhuang Deshui also introduced that at present, in the actual operation process, if party members and cadres do have difficulties or have special circumstances and need to engage in additional profit-making activities, they can first report the situation to the competent department and the organization department, and after approval, they are allowed to proceed during off-duty hours.

  So, how do you define a for-profit activity?

  Zhuang Deshui said that there is no clear standard to strictly distinguish whether an economic activity is a profit-making activity, and it should be viewed from all aspects of this behavior. For example, some cadres rent out their own facade, and they need to check whether the source and ownership of the facade are legal and compliant, whether the leasing process uses the authority or position of officials, and whether they participate in business activities after leasing.

  Using Didi’s taxi platform to make money is a novelty, Mr. Zhuang said. The practice can be compared to officials running micro-stores. Previously, regulations have been introduced in many places to prohibit public officials from opening micro-stores as micro-businesses. "His case can be used as a typical case for future reference."

  However, Hong Sheng’s actions did not use his power or official influence. Zhuang Deshui said that Hong Sheng’s actions did violate discipline, but it was not a typical violation of party discipline. As for how to punish, it also tested the political wisdom of the local discipline inspection commission.

  dialogue

  Hong Sheng: If you are wrong, you must admit it and accept organizational investigation

  Beiqing Daily: When did you start working as a part-time driver?

  Hong Sheng: I bought this used car a few years ago, and downloaded the online car-hailing software in May. At that time, I saw that everyone else was registering, so I also registered one and started to work.

  Beiqing Daily: When do you usually solicit customers?

  Hong Sheng: Holidays, on the way to and from get off work, just pull an order on the way, it doesn’t matter how much it costs.

  Beiqing Daily: What happened when you were reported that day?

  Hong Sheng: On the morning of June 15th, around 8 o’clock, I will send two materials to the county government. After coming out, I will go to the party school for a meeting. At this time, someone called a car to Dongshan Garden. The time was right and I stopped by, so I took the order. The whole journey of this order is only more than 5 kilometers, and the fare is more than ten yuan.

  Beiqing Daily: Someone broke the news online that you were stopped by a taxi driver?

  Hong Sheng: Yes, after delivering the person, I was stopped by a taxi, and then I left the car where I was.

  North Youth Daily: Why?

  Hong Sheng: I’m not sure, and I don’t want to talk about the process.

  Beiqing Daily: Have you always used your own private car as an online ride-hailing driver?

  Hong Sheng: It has always been.

  Beiqing Daily: Some people say that your family’s burden is relatively heavy, is that true?

  Hong Sheng: I don’t like to tell others this, but my colleagues and friends know it.

  My parents are old and need to care for the elderly and see a doctor. My children are still young. My monthly salary is about 3,000 yuan. Some time ago, I went to Hefei for treatment because of gout. My family had no money, and I borrowed several thousand yuan from my sister.

  Beiqing Daily: What is your approximate income from online car-hailing during this time?

  Hong Sheng: I haven’t calculated it carefully. It’s about 2,000 yuan, and there’s not much left excluding the fuel cost.

  Beiqing Daily: Have you reported your family’s difficulties to the organization?

  Hong Sheng: Many reporters have come to interview me in the past few days, and the matter has caused a lot of trouble on the Internet. I know that many netizens feel that I am wronged, but I was wrong about driving a car. If you are wrong, you have to admit it, and I have nothing to say. Thank you for your concern. Now I have reported all the situation to the organization, and when the Commission for Discipline Inspection investigates, I will accept it willingly if there is a punishment. I will no longer take orders in the future, and I must learn a lesson.

  In order to further strengthen youth international sports exchanges and cooperation, help Beijing revitalize the three major sports, and build a solid reserve talent base, the Beijing International Sports Exchange Center, the Beijing International Sports Exchange Promotion Association, and the Australia China Star Sports Event Promotion Organization held the 12th "China Star" International Friendship Competition in Beijing from April 16 to 20, 2016. More than 400 young athletes from 30 sports teams from Australia, New Zealand, Beijing, Hebei, Liaoning, Gansu, Jiangsu and other countries and regions participated in the competition exchanges of men’s football, women’s football, women’s basketball, women’s hockey and women’s tennis.

  The players participating in this event are all between the ages of 15 and 17. Among them, more than 100 players from 6 overseas sports teams participated; 24 Chinese sports teams participated in more than 300 players. A total of 90 competitions were held, including 10 football games, 5 basketball games, 15 hockey games, and 60 tennis games. The competitions were held in Beijing Lucheng Sports Technology School, Beijing No. 47 Middle School, Tsinghua Yucai Experimental School, Beijing Shunyi International School, Beijing Dulwich International School, Beijing Control Football Club, Hebei Chaoda Sports Center and other venues.

  Since its establishment in 2005, through the careful construction and continuous efforts of the event’s organizational unit, the "China Star" International Friendship Competition has developed into a favorite sports event for young people from all over the world in the past 12 years, and has become a friendly bond for exchanges, mutual learning and common improvement among young people from China, Oceania and South Africa. By "inviting in" domestic and foreign youth sports teams, the Beijing International Sports Exchange Center has opened up channels for more school sports teams in Beijing to communicate with young players at home and abroad, and has favorably promoted the development of youth football, basketball, hockey, tennis and other programs. It has played a positive role in improving the technical level of youth sports and cultivating more youth sports reserve talents.

Stephen Chow: It seems that at my age, every new play will be said to be out of talent

  The word "superstar" came from Zhou Xingchi’s mouth, with a very "nonsensical" style. At first, it was very funny, but when you think about it, it is deeply meaningful. These four words can be said to be a true portrayal of Zhou Xingchi’s career as an actor. The dragon set achieved Zhou Xingchi’s superstar status, making him change from "Zhou Xingxing" to "Xingye", while the superstar made Zhou Xingchi "because of invincibility, a little lonely".

  When "Superstar" recalled "Dragon Set" Zhou Xingxing, he said: "I wait every day, but I don’t know what I’m waiting for. In fact, it should be waiting for an opportunity. Wait year after year, wait one second a day. Finally, when I was about to’die ‘, I finally had the opportunity, and I realized that it was not an opportunity, it was a complete misunderstanding, so I continued to wait."

  So, in 1999’s "King of Comedy," Liu Piaopiao tells Yin Tianchou: "It’s so dark in front of you, you can’t see anything." Yin Tianchou says: "No, it will be beautiful after dawn." But at the end of the movie, Yin Tianchou still lost the opportunity to play the lead role and did not arrange a successful ending for him.

  After 20 years, Zhou Xingchi, who had 20 years of life insights, was even more childlike and liked fairy tales, so he made "The King of New Comedy" again. In the film, the heroine, Rumeng, saw the dawn. In this imperfect world, Zhou Xingchi wanted to give the audience a perfect ending: "Because I think this can encourage everyone more directly, so that the audience can see that life will not be a walk-in forever. It can be said that 20 years ago, the audience did not see’dawn ‘with Yin Tianchou, but 20 years later, everyone can see it. After dawn, it is really beautiful."

  The auction was completed in two months, but it took seven or eight years to think about it.

  On November 29, 2018, Stephen Chow’s new work "The King of New Comedy" was officially announced to be released on February 5, the first day of the new year in 2019. Once the news was released, it quickly became a hot topic. In addition to the expectations of star fans, it also attracted a lot of controversy, such as "Why shoot" The King of New Comedy "after 20 years? Stephen Chow is frying cold rice, because Jiang Lang has exhausted his talents", and it is said that "the movie was shot in two weeks. Because the production of" Mermaid 2 "was overdue, in order to fill the gap, Stephen Chow temporarily started filming" The King of New Comedy ".

  For all kinds of "nonsense" and suspicions, Zhou Xingchi is not in a hurry and is not annoyed. He replies one by one, and he says with a smile: "It seems that at my age, every new play will be said to be talented. I have fried Yangzhou fried rice, but I have never fried cold rice." Mermaid 2 "has a long post productin time, and it was originally planned to be released in 2020."

  Zhou Xingchi revealed that seven or eight years ago, he was already considering making another story about the struggles of the little people: "I’ve been thinking about doing something else, and occasionally I think about it. It was three years ago when I felt like I was thinking about it, and I suddenly thought about it clearly, and I started to prepare little by little. In this era, how to re-show the story of the past, but have a different feeling, this is what I have been thinking about."

  "The New King of Comedy" came out of nowhere because the film was based on the title of "Plan D". There were rumors before that Stephen Chow was going to make "The King of Comedy 2", but the news was later denied by many parties. Chow admitted that he did "keep a low profile" on purpose. "Because the final name of the movie has not been decided yet, and I don’t want to give everyone spoilers, I just changed the name. Then why am I called’Plan D ‘instead of ABC, because ABC has already been registered by others, so I had to choose D."

  In Stephen Chow’s mind, it was not because’The New King of Comedy ‘was an IP sequel that the difficulty was reduced. Out of his devotion to movies, Stephen Chow would not allow himself to neglect the work. "I think I need time.

  "If it’s ok, then I’m too good." Mr. Chow denied that "The New King of Comedy" took two months to shoot because the film had no special effects, so it was relatively simple to shoot and not troublesome to post productin: "If you start with the official script, it should be three years. After the script was completed, it was actually very fast to shoot, but this time we used a different shooting method and spent some time in this regard."

  Every time I see a group performance, I am reminded of my own experience

  The actors who have worked with Stephen Chow, especially the group actors and set actors, will feel very distressed for him because he is too hard. Not only do the crew work hands-on, but every actor has to personally teach the play, including the group performance, the dragon set, and the filming of "The New King of Comedy" is no exception.

  Stephen Chow admitted that filming is really tiring, so he sometimes wants to be a robot. "However, sometimes when you are doing what you like, you don’t feel too tired, and that feeling of fulfillment will dilute the fatigue. For a movie, there are no small roles, everyone is a useful role. To achieve the effect of the movie, no matter what kind of person it is, they will have an impact on the final presentation of the movie. Maybe it’s because of my own expression habits. I think the performance is more intuitive. I want the actors to immediately understand which feeling I want. But in the process, they will also create a lot of different things of themselves. In fact, everyone is giving inspiration together."

  "The New King of Comedy" tells the story of the heroine Rumeng who encounters various setbacks in her life, but never gives up. Chow Xingchi said that every time he sees a group performance, he "naturally thinks of his own experience".

  Stephen Chow’s movies were good at telling stories about little people, and his ability to tell the lives of little people from a normal perspective rather than a high-minded attitude was related to Stephen Chow’s mentality. Although he had been a superstar for many years, he would always say in interviews that he was still a little person and had an ordinary life. "The lives of those little people have not left me, but my job is to make movies, so everyone knows me, so I can continue to make movies and do what I like."

  The only star in "The New King of Comedy" is Wang Baoqiang. Why don’t you find more mature actors to play? Mr. Chow said he wanted to give more people who are passionate, have dreams, and have been working hard a chance to find more talents. "This is what I have been doing myself. I hope that young actors will continue to appear, so that they can be inspired to participate in the film industry."

  Zhou Xingchi often used some crew members in the movie, such as screenwriters, assistant directors, etc., who would become cast members. When asked why he had this "hobby", Zhou Xingchi laughed and said that because these people also have actor dreams, and there are many stories in the play in "The New King of Comedy", many of the characters are the cast members of the movie, "So it’s better to find real people to act, isn’t it?"

  To be funny requires a very painful experience.

  In "King of Comedy", there are many scenes from Zhou Xingchi’s real experience. For example, in the film, Yin Tianchou is shot to death by Du Juan’er after changing into a priest’s costume, but until Du Juan’er has dealt with all the bad guys, Yin Tianchou still plays "inner drama" later, so anxious that the director shouted "Cut". This clip is based on Zhou Xingchi’s experience in "The Legend of the Condor Hero".

  In the film, a cockroach jumps onto the corpse played by Yin Tianchou, but he still doesn’t move. This scene originated from the true story of Chow Xingchi’s filming of the movie "Jiupin Sesame Official".

  After 20 years, the "treatment" of the dragon set has not been improved. In "The King of New Comedy", E Jingwen played Rumeng, who suffered no less than Yin Tianchou, so much so that E Jingwen said with a smile that she could be selected as the heroine because of her "resistance to fighting", and the bitterness of walking around made the audience cry.

  Zhou Xingchi himself, like Yin Tianchou and Rumeng, was an unpopular person on the crew because they had too many opinions and thought "he was an actor". In the 1983 version of "The Legend of the Condor Hero", Zhou Xingchi played a soldier who was about to be beaten to death by Mei Chaofeng’s palm. Before the performance, he took the initiative to discuss with the assistant director, "Can I block it with my hand and die in the second palm?" The assistant director glared: "Waste of time!"

  Before he became a superstar, Zhou Xingchi had worked for six years, looked at countless eyes, and suffered countless hardships. Because he had no advantage in height, he had to wear an inner height of seven or eight centimeters to find a chance for himself, but other competitors would also wear it, so Zhou Xingchi still had no chance.

  When Stephen Chow and Zheng Shaoqiu were filming the TV series "Metropolis" together, it was already very late one day, but Zhou Xingchi was in a daze at the elevator entrance, and then he suddenly lay down at the elevator door. The staff next to him were very surprised and watched Zhou Xingchi being hit by the elevator non-stop. Zhou Xingchi said: "If you die at the elevator door, it will have a magical effect of being hit non-stop." Zheng Shaoqiu next to you said: "You are really a good actor. I didn’t expect you to be so persistent." In the end, the director made the decision and used this shot.

  During the "King of New Comedy" roadshow, Zhou Xingchi also recounted that when he was doing the trick, there was a line that he felt bad about when he got home, so he took a car back to the set and asked the director to shoot again. The director was not happy at first, and Zhou Xingchi knelt down and begged him in a hurry, and finally the director agreed to let him reshoot.

  So, when asked about his deepest feelings about his long career, Zhou Xingchi said that it was common to be scolded and ridiculed, "For example, I asked the director if it was okay? The director said, ‘Forget it, I can’t see you, go away.’ What I remember deeply is that I waited every day, but I didn’t know what I was waiting for. In fact, it should be waiting for an opportunity. Waiting year after year, waiting for a second every day. Finally, when I was about to’die ‘, I finally had the opportunity, and I realized that it was not an opportunity, it was a complete misunderstanding, so I waited."

  From the beginning of his career, after he became famous, he was hindered by various problems, criticized as a tyrant on the set, did not understand the world, and compared money with money. Over the years, Zhou Xingchi has been in constant disputes and criticisms, but he has never responded to all kinds of criticisms and is alone.

  Wang Jing once commented: "Zhou Xingchi’s vicissitudes and melancholy are from beginning to end. He left all his smiles on the screen, as if you had to pay first to see him laugh in life."

  Stephen Chow hides his true heart with comedy, but his seemingly simple comedy doesn’t mean shallow. Every laugh he makes is actually brewed from the five flavors of life. Chow said: "In fact, it takes a lot of pain to get a little laugh. To be funny also requires a very painful experience, and the most tragic things can also be the funniest things. It’s actually easy to do a crying scene, but to get a little laugh, you have to go through a lot of pain to achieve it. It’s really hard to do comedy."

  I’m still working on it.

  When 9-year-old Stephen Chow saw the movie "Tangshan Big Brother", he suddenly wanted to become an actor, "I want to become a kung fu star like Bruce Lee". At that time, he was so shy that he went out to eat with his mother. If there were outsiders, he would cover his face with menus. "I am afraid that others will look at me and talk at me."

  So the mother’s "lofty ambition" for her son to become a star can only laugh back, but Zhou Xingchi is serious: "If you don’t have a dream, what’s the difference with Salted Fish?"

  Today’s successful Stephen Chow is no longer a simple filmmaker. His diverse identities prevent him from returning to his youth known as "Xingzai". The power of capital makes it impossible for him to make certain decisions solely from the perspective of creation, but requires him to have greater capital ambitions and ambitions to enhance the confidence of investors.

  Under these multiple demands, even though Zhou Xingchi was a genius, the process of his personal creativity blooming was also a process of being severely consumed. In addition to capital, age was another terrible reason for tormenting geniuses. Zhou Xingchi himself said, "Over the years, my movies have become less and less, and I just want to say to everyone, I’m sorry, I’m old."

  As people get older, many things are taken lightly. Therefore, Zhou Xingchi now has more to endure and compromise when making a play. On the one hand, as he said: "It seems that after my age, every new play will be said to be exhausted." As an "old director", he also has to adapt to the current era and the current audience: "Not only movies, but the whole world is always changing, and we must always learn. The most important thing about movies is creativity. To bring freshness to the audience, movies are very important work for me. I think I can also give the audience something different, and I will try harder every time."

  The childishness in the movie is a prominent label for Stephen Chow. In addition to the usual spoof and nonsense, the warm mermaid love serves the theme of environmental protection, making the film simple and easy to understand, and all ages eat it. The magic weapon in "Journey to the West" is "Three Hundred Children’s Songs", and in "The King of New Comedy", Wang Baoqiang, an outdated star, plays Snow White in a female costume.

  Still struggling, Stephen Chow wants to convey "hard work and struggle" to people in "The King of New Comedy." He also deliberately chose Chen Baiqiang’s old song "Gale" as the theme song of the movie. When he was down, "Gale" once gave him great comfort. Zhou Xingchi said: "The lyrics of this song are very thought-provoking and need to be carefully felt, such as singing’The wind doesn’t care about the beginning and the end, it only knows how to rush ‘, or’If you have a dream in your heart, you can track it with all your strength, like the wild wind in the sky.’ You can imagine the picture of a small person running with all his strength. Isn’t it appropriate to play this song as background music at this time? At this time, the’strong wind ‘also gave the little person chasing the dream a kind of strength, just like the people who fight hard are the wild wind. "

  In Zhou Xingchi’s opinion, everyone is Yin Tianchou, and they are all working hard for their dreams. "In fact, everyone can be the protagonist in their own life. Don’t be afraid of failure, hardship or all kinds of resistance, and work hard with full blood, just like the wind. Young people who are working hard, I hope you can all become the king of comedy in your own life."

  The "king" in Zhou Xingchi’s mouth is by no means the king that the public understands, but a small person who lives seriously and pursues hard. "In them, you can see authenticity, confidence, seriousness and even seriousness, full of enthusiasm for the work you are doing, and will not give up no matter how difficult it is. Keep pursuing your dreams, and even some persistence. I am also working hard, so I hope to dedicate it to those of you who are working hard. After reading it, you can be more confident and work harder."

  The classic city tower scene in "Journey to the West", the supreme treasure that seemed to be indifferent to nothing, instantly turned into the sunset warrior on the city tower, strode towards the woman he loved, hugged it with all his strength and said, "I will never leave in my life, I love you."

  Perhaps, this is also the line that Stephen Chow wants to say to the movie he has loved all his life.

Scientists in China and the United States have created the most accurate map of the structure of the Milky Way to date

 

 
For a long time, we knew very little about the Milky Way, and we didn’t even know the exact location of the sun in the Milky Way. However, astronomers have recently used some observational data to create a new "map of the Milky Way" that will refresh our understanding of the Milky Way and the formation of galaxies. And with this map, we also know that the sun is almost exactly on the central plane of the Milky Way’s disk.
Hundreds of years ago, explorers made detailed maps across oceans and uncharted continents. Over the past half-century, human space probes have photographed much of the solar system. But while we know our own astronomical backyard, we don’t know enough about our cosmic community, the Milky Way. The reason is obvious. Just as "we don’t know the true face of Mount Lu, we can’t leave the Milky Way and look back at the panorama of the Milky Way."
Maybe you could dream that we would launch a spacecraft, take it out of our galaxy, and then go back and take a panoramic picture of the galaxy, but a spacecraft would only be able to do this after a journey of millions of years, which is obviously impractical. We still have a lot of unanswered questions about the galaxy, such as how many spiral arms the galaxy has, whether a large structure closest to the sun can be counted as a single spiral arm, and where our solar system is in the galaxy.
Recently, however, scientists are working to map the Milky Way from the inside out, so that for the first time, accurate maps of the Milky Way’s structure can be made. This promising future is the result of the collaborative efforts of several advanced radio and optical large telescope projects, including our Bar and Spiral Structure Legacy Survey of the Milky Way (BeSSeL). We have obtained an unprecedented 5,000 hours of observation time for the Very Long Baseline Array.
The preliminary results of our project provide a new picture of the Milky Way. In addition to better understanding the overall image of the Milky Way, we are also beginning to clarify why galaxies like the Milky Way exhibit spiral structures and how our galactic home is integrated with the entire universe.
Cosmic Neighborhood
In the early nineteenth century, William Parsons, the third Earl of Rousseau, built a 72-inch telescope – a "gigantic" telescope by the standards of the time. He observed and drew the M51 nebula (which we now call the Whirlpool Galaxy) with a distinct swirling arm pattern. However, without knowing how far M51 is or the scale of the Milky Way, it is not clear whether the vortex galaxy is a small structure in our Milky Way or a galaxy similar to the Milky Way.
Debate about these issues continued until the early twentieth century. It was not until the American scientist Edwin Hubble used techniques developed by Henrietta Leavitt to measure our distances to some bright stars that we learned that spiral galaxies and other spiral nebulae are outside the Milky Way and similar to the Milky Way. This discovery overturned the idea that the Milky Way is the entire universe.
By measuring the movement of gas throughout the Milky Way disk, the pancake-shaped region that makes up the main body of the Milky Way, astronomers have discovered that we actually live in a spiral galaxy. The main common types of galaxies include spiral galaxies and elliptical galaxies. The Milky Way, seen from a distance, may resemble the nearby spiral galaxy NGC 1300 and the Pinwheel Galaxy (M101). At the center of NGC 1300 is a bright, elongated structure that astronomers call the bar structure of the galaxy. Two blue spiral arms extend from both ends of the bar structure and gradually extend outward around the central bar.
Most spiral galaxies have bar structures, which are generally thought to have formed as a result of the attractive force instability of the galaxy’s dense disk. The central bar structure then rotates, creating a stirring effect that in turn may promote the formation of spiral arms (other processes, such as attractive force instability caused by massive clumps in the disk or attractive force disturbances in nearby galaxies, may also contribute to the formation of spiral arms). Spiral arms are easier to see in the blue light band, because spiral arms are huge star-forming star-producing houses that are more prone to emitting blue light. The Pinwheel Galaxy M101 is another galaxy that may resemble the Milky Way. Although the Pinwheel Galaxy does not have the central bar of NGC 1300, it has more spiral arms.
Astronomers have long believed that the Milky Way may have the characteristics of two galaxies, NGC 1300 and M101: a distinct long bar structure like NGC 1300, and multiple spiral arms like M101. But beyond these basic conclusions, there is still much controversy. For example, infrared observations by the Spitzer space telescope more than a decade ago suggested that the Milky Way may have only two main spiral arms. And radio-band observations of atomic hydrogen and carbon monoxide suggest that the Milky Way has four spiral arms. In extragalactic galaxies, the gas is concentrated in the spiral arms. In addition to the spiral arm feature, astronomers are also debating how far the sun is from the center of the galaxy, and what the sun’s vertical height is relative to the galactic midplane, the plane of the center of the disk.
About 70 years ago, scientists calculated the distance from some bright blue stars nearby. If these stars were marked on a map of the Milky Way, they would be part of three adjacent spiral arms. We call these three spiral arms the centaur arm, the local arm, and the Perseus arm. Around the same time, beginning in the 1950s, radio astronomers observed atomic hydrogen gas, which emits a characteristic radio signal with a wavelength of 21 centimeters. As this atomic hydrogen gas moves relative to the earth, its characteristic radio frequency is shifted by the Doppler effect, allowing astronomers to use the frequency shift to measure the speed of the gas’s movement and then map its location in the Milky Way.
Using this measurement method, astronomers adopted a sun-centered coordinate system: similar to the longitude and latitude of a globe, the Milky Way longitude (l) is zero in the direction toward the galactic center and increases clockwise within the galactic "equatorial" plane (the Milky Way is seen from the northern celestial sphere); the galactic latitude (b) represents the angle perpendicular to the plane of the galactic disk. The 21-centimeter characteristic radio signal of the hydrogen atom gas shows a continuous structure in the galactic longitude-velocity diagram, which most likely traced the galactic spiral arm structure. Later plots of the galactic longitude-velocity of carbon monoxide molecular gases also exhibited similar characteristics. However, this indirect mapping method may be ambiguous and not accurate enough to clearly show the spiral arm structure of the Milky Way.
A New Horizon
One reason we know so little about the structure of the Milky Way is that there is a lot of dust in the Milky Way. Dust absorbs visible light so efficiently that it obscures our view in most line-of-sight directions, preventing us from seeing very far. Another reason is that the size of the Milky Way is staggering: light from stars on the other side of the Milky Way takes more than 50,000 years to reach Earth. Such a distance makes it difficult to even tell which stars are close to us and which are far away.
Now, new optical telescopes operating in space, as well as new radio telescopes around the world, could allow us to better answer all kinds of questions about the Milky Way. The Gaia mission, launched in 2013 to measure the precise distances of nearly a billion stars in the Milky Way, will no doubt revolutionize our understanding of the different populations of stars that formed our galaxy. But because Gaia observes in the visible light band, which is easily absorbed and scattered by interstellar dust particles, Gaia may be affected by interstellar dust when observing very distant spiral arms. On the contrary, because radio waves easily pass through dust, radio telescopes can probe the entire disk, allowing us to use observations from such telescopes to map the overall structure of the disk.
At present, the two main observational projects to map the structure of the Milky Way are using the very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) technique in radio astronomy. The VERA (VLBI Exploration of Radio Astrometry) project in Japan uses four radio telescopes, ranging from northern Japan (Mizusawa, Iwate Prefecture) to the southernmost Okinawa Islands of Ishigaki and the easternmost Ogasawara Islands, across Japan. The Very Long Baseline Array used by our BeSSeL sky survey program includes 10 telescopes, ranging from Hawaii to New England to St. Croix in the U.S. Virgin Islands, across most of the Western Hemisphere.
Because the distance between the telescopes that make up the Very Long Baseline Array is nearly the same as the diameter of the Earth, the array can achieve angular resolution that far exceeds that of any other telescope at any wavelength. The researchers must observe simultaneously with all the telescopes in the array, and use the world’s best atomic clocks to synchronize the data recorded by computers at each site. They then transport the recorded data to a dedicated computer, which processes the signals collected by each telescope. If our eyes are sensitive to radio waves, the calibrated image is an ultra-high definition digital image that we can see at radio wavelengths that is parsed by almost the entire width of the Earth.
Such images have incredible angular resolution (better than 0.001 arc seconds: if the entire celestial sphere is divided into 360 degrees, then 1 arc second is 1/3600 of a degree). By contrast, the human eye can only resolve structures for about 40 arc seconds at most, and even the Hubble Space Telescope can only achieve a resolution of about 0.04 arc seconds.
Using the VLBI, we can measure the position of a bright star in radio waves relative to a background quasar (which is actually a bright, active black hole at the center of a distant galaxy) with an accuracy of close to 0.00001 arcseconds. In this way, we can measure very far distances by measuring the triangular parallax effect. The triangular parallax effect is that when viewed from different positions, nearby celestial objects appear correspondingly in different positions in the background starry sky. You can extend your arms forward, raise your thumb, and simulate this effect by alternately closing your left and right eyes to observe the thumb. Because our eyes are a few centimeters apart, when we alternately observe the thumb at an arm’s length with our left and right eyes, the thumb will be offset by about 6 degrees relative to the distant background object. If we know the distance between the two observation positions, and the angular displacement observed, we can easily calculate our distance from the observation target. This is the same principle that surveyors use to map cities.
Ideally, astronomers who want to map the structure of spiral arms should observe young, massive stars. These short-lived stars are usually associated with violent star formation in spiral arms, and such stars are so hot that they can ionize the surrounding gas, causing it to emit blue light. Therefore, in theory, these stars can serve as beacons for observing the spiral arms of galaxies in the visible light range.
But because these stars are surrounded by the Milky Way’s dust disk, we cannot easily observe them throughout the Milky Way. Fortunately, water and methanol molecules outside the ionized regions of these hot stars can serve as very bright radio sources, because they emit large amounts of natural "masers" that are barely attenuated by galactic dust. The term maser is an acronym for "microwave amplification by stimulated emission of radiation," which means that a maser is actually a laser in the radio band. In an astrophysical setting, maser radiation comes from a solar system-scale gas cloud of mass comparable to that of Jupiter. Maser sources appear as very bright point sources in radio images. Therefore, the maser source is an ideal target for triangulation parallax measurement.
A new picture of the Milky Way
Using the BeSSeL and VERA projects, astronomers have used triangulation parallax to measure the distances of about 200 young, hot stars. The data spans the Milky Way, covering about a third of the galaxy and revealing four very long spiral arms.
The resulting "map of the Milky Way" also shows that the Sun is very close to the Milky Way’s fifth spiral arm, which appears to be an isolated spiral arm known as the "local arm". Previously, this section of the spiral arm was called the "Orion Arm Spine" or "Local Arm Spine", that is, this spiral arm resembles a small accessory structure extending from the main spiral arms of other galaxies. However, the interpretation of this "arm spur" may be wrong. In our BeSSeL data, this spiral arm is isolated, orbiting the Milky Way less than a quarter of a turn. Although the local arm is shorter in length, in this arm the star formation rate can be comparable to that of the Perseus Arm of the same length. Interestingly, astronomers once thought of the Perseus Arm as one of the Milky Way’s two main spiral arms (the other being the shield-centaur arm). However, we found that the star formation rate decreased significantly as the Perseus Arm moved away from the Sun and towards the Milky Way. This suggests that the Perseus Arm does not appear to be a very obvious spiral arm to outside observers.
By mapping the three-dimensional positions of a large number of young stars and measuring and modeling their velocities, we can calculate the basic parameters of the Milky Way. We found that the distance from the sun to the center of the Milky Way is 8150 ± 150 parsecs (or 26,600 light-years). This is smaller than the 8500 parsecs recommended by the International Astronomical Union a few decades ago. In addition, we found that the Milky Way rotates at 236 km/s at the position of the sun, which is about 8 times the speed of the earth’s rotation around the sun. Based on these parameter values, we found that it takes about 212 million years for the sun to rotate around the Milky Way. This also means that the last time our solar system was where the Milky Way is now, dinosaurs were still roaming the earth.
The Milky Way’s inner disk, which lies within the sun’s position, is so thin that it is almost a flat plane. But the sun’s vertical height relative to this plane has been controversial. Recently, some astronomers have measured that the sun is 25 parsecs (82 light-years) above the inner disk, but our measurements differ significantly from this estimate. By fitting the plane in which massive stars with precise distances and positions are located, we can determine that the sun is only about 6 parsecs (20 light-years) above the plane. This height is only 0.07% of the distance from the sun to the center of the galaxy, which means that the sun is very close to the mid-plane of the galaxy. We also confirmed the previously observed galactic warping, in which the outer disk of the Milky Way gradually deviates from the inner disk and begins to curve upward on the north side and downward on the south side, somewhat like a curved potato chip.
In order to describe observations, astronomers usually divide the Milky Way into four solar-centered quadrants. Using this coordinate, we found spiral arms in the first three quadrants. To map the fourth quadrant, we need observation equipment located in the southern hemisphere. We are conducting a southern hemisphere observation project and plan to use telescopes in Australia and New Zealand to make observations.
While we await these observations, we can use observations from atomic hydrogen and carbon monoxide to extrapolate the known spiral arms to the fourth quadrant. The structures revealed by these observations are consistent with previous theoretical conjectures of the Norma-Outer, Shield-Centaur, Sagittarius-Carina, and Perseus arms. It should be noted, however, that we have only made one observation of the star-forming region far from the center of the Milky Way. The distance of this region we observed, combined with its position in the galactic meridian-velocity map of carbon monoxide, gives us some confidence in how to "map" the spiral arms at the other end of the galaxy.
However, we need more observations to validate our model. We now have a clearer picture of our galactic home. We may live in a four-arm spiral galaxy with a bright and symmetrical central bar. Our sun is almost entirely in the mid-plane of the Milky Way disk, but the sun is far from the center of the galaxy, about two-thirds of the galactic radius. In addition to the spiral arms that can circle the galaxy almost once, the galaxy has at least one additional spiral arm segment (the local arm), and each major spiral arm may have many forks. These spiral arm features make our galaxy appear fairly normal, but certainly not typical. About two-thirds of spiral galaxies have a central bar structure, so the Milky Way belongs to the bar spiral galaxy that makes up the vast majority of spiral galaxies. However, the Milky Way has four clear, well-defined, and fairly symmetrical arms, which makes the Milky Way unique because most spiral galaxies have far fewer arms and are relatively messy.
More mysteries
Although we have some new answers, there are still many important unanswered questions. Astronomers are still debating how the spiral arms arose. There are two competing theories on the issue. One theory holds that attractive force instability at the galactic scale creates a persistent spiral arm pattern of density waves. Another theory holds that some spiral arm fragments will be stretched over time due to instability at small scales, magnified, and then connected to form longer spiral arms. In the former theory, the spiral arms can last for billions of years, while in the latter theory, although the life of the spiral arms is short, the new spiral arms will appear multiple times throughout the evolutionary history of the galaxy.
Since the Milky Way does not have a clear date of birth, it is difficult to determine its exact age. The current popular view is that as many smaller protogalaxies that formed first in the history of the universe collided and merged, they gradually merged to form what is now the Milky Way.
The Milky Way was already a large galaxy about 5 billion years ago, but at that time it may have looked very different than it does now, because the merging process is likely to break up any existing spiral structure.
We need more observations to improve our existing picture of the structure of the Milky Way, and the next generation of VLBI-enabled radio telescope arrays will facilitate this. Such arrays in the pipeline include the Square Kilometer Array in Africa and the Next Generation Very Large Array in North America. Both are giant radio telescope arrays spanning an entire continent, and they are expected to be fully operational by the late 2020s. They will have a much larger signal-gathering area than existing arrays, and will therefore be able to detect faint radio emissions from stars, allowing us to see farther in the Milky Way. Ultimately, we hope to clearly map the building structure of the Milky Way Home to confirm or disprove the theory of the formation of the Milky Way’s magnificent spiral arm structure.
