1. Zhang Yimou summarizes the journey from the Summer Olympics to the Winter Olympics
On the evening of February 20, Beijing time, the Beijing Winter Olympics officially ended. Zhang Yimou, the chief director of the closing ceremony, wrote a long article summarizing the mental journey from the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics to the current Winter Olympics.
The full text is as follows:
The moment the main torch went out, my heart was filled with mixed feelings.
We recreated the scene in 2008: the stars converged on the ground and became the five rings of stars, slowly rising along with the theme song of “Me and You”. Then the snowflake torch descends slowly, and the two are intertwined in the air, which is very romantic, like stepping back in time. I think this should be a classic moment.
At the moment when I see the intersection of the two, I will still sigh, right here, right in the bird’s nest, the moments of history overlap each other. It seems like only a few seconds, but in a flash, more than ten years have passed. This moment represents the road we have traveled from 2008 to today.
As a witness, in the past ten years, many changes have taken place in myself and the country. We can present the opening and closing ceremonies in a minimalist way, so that the world is with us. So I think the biggest difference between the opening and closing ceremonies of the Winter Olympics this time from 2008 is cultural self-confidence. We can be romantic when we let go of our burdens and completely relax ourselves.
I met a staff member who was a volunteer in 2008 and is now a volunteer leader. He said he came again, I said you have grown up. Everyone will feel this way, in the blink of an eye for more than ten years, in the overlap of time, the country is different from ours. I believe that many people will have the same feeling after seeing this moment. This is a deep feeling of the Chinese people for the development of the country and for the country’s getting better and better.
In the two Olympic Games, we not only talk about the concept of “Double Olympics”, nor are we satisfied that we are the only city and venue for the Olympics. It is the road we have traveled and the development and changes of China over the years.
Chinese people have a strong sense of home and country, and so do I. Without the strength of the country and the improvement of China’s international status, we would not have been able to bid for the Olympic Games twice in such a short period of time, nor would we have the so-called “Double Olympic Directors”. This is my luck. From the moment I received the assignment for the Winter Olympics, I knew that I had to do my best and not slack off. I always feel that when it comes to home and country, the country is still a little bigger.
My character is the character of the people of Shaanxi. As long as I take care of things big and small, I must be serious and responsible for doing it well, and I must be worthy of everyone’s trust. Many of my contemporaries have retired, and I can still fight on the front line. This is an opportunity given to me by the times. If I don’t work hard, I will waste my time, so I put big and small matters more than my life. I like it when things are often lined up, big and small, on top of each other.
Maintaining such a creative mentality, I actually feel that it is good for my body. I’m not very social, and I’m not very good at socializing. I don’t know how to play mahjong. If I don’t do anything, people may be lazy and dull. I have people of all ages on my team, but I am afraid that no one is my opponent when it comes to creative meetings. I am often the first to come up with ideas.
In fact, we have held the creative meeting of the “Memorial Session” of the closing ceremony many times, and put a lot of effort into it. This link is a prescribed action since the Rio Olympics, in order to cherish the memory of the deceased. South Korea chose to display it in a form similar to a funeral, while the Tokyo Olympics showed Japan’s “feeling culture”.
So how do the Chinese express death? How to extract the Chinese view of life and death from Chinese culture? I think what makes China different from other countries is that we have the optimism and optimism that belongs to the Chinese people about the people who have passed away and about life. A Chinese saying to the deceased is “Going well all the way”. Our outlook on life is like this. While commemorating and cherishing the deceased, we often wipe away our tears. Those who are alive should still live well.
So we chose the image of “Breaking the Willow and Sending Love”. Everyone held a glowing “wicker” and walked slowly to the middle in the music of “Farewell”, and countless green lights rose like a monument. We specially made the light green, which means life, hope and growth. We don’t have much sadness, but more of a deep memorial.
The hope of green has risen again, and everything has to look forward, which is a completely different feeling.
2. Gu Ailing: Not sure whether to continue to participate in the future
Gu Ailing said in the interview that she still loves skiing, but she is not sure whether she will continue to participate in competitions in the future. She revealed that she will go to Stanford to study, continue to write and plan to publish some written works, and will also continue her fashion career, she said: “I have a lot of lofty goals in the future, but I really don’t know what I want to do.” As for ski racing, “Will I keep racing? Who knows. I still love skiing, I love racing, but it depends. I’m going to do whatever feels right to me, and hopefully whatever decision I make will lead to some positive change.”
3. Young man insured millions before he drowned, but the insurance company refused to pay
Luo, 31, drowned in Hanoi, Panxihe Park, Longshan Street, Chongqing City on June 17, 2020. And six months ago, he has successively insured four insurance companies for accident insurance totaling 2.5 million yuan. Just the day before the accident, he also sent the relevant policy information to his nephew’s mobile phone.
After Luo drowned, in addition to one insurance company and his family voluntarily negotiated compensation for part of the insurance money, the other three insurance companies refused to pay for their own reasons. From the insurance company’s point of view, Luo’s drowning was not an accident, and some of his behaviors before his death did not rule out the suspicion of suicide. In addition, according to forensic identification, Luo died of drowning due to sudden heart failure in the water.
After the incident, Luo’s parents successively sued the other three insurance companies that refused to pay. On February 18, 2022, the Red Star News reporter learned from Zhang Junzhong, the attorney representing Luo’s parents, that one of the insured insurance companies made a final judgment after the second instance of the Nanchong Intermediate People’s Court, and ordered the insurance company to compensate Luo’s parents for insurance. Gold 250,000 yuan (total insured amount of 500,000 yuan).
The court held that Luo died of drowning due to sudden heart failure in the water, but the illness in the water did not necessarily lead to drowning, but only possible drowning. However, considering other facts, Luo had the possibility of committing suicide, and it was not inappropriate for the first instance to pay 50% of the insurance premium in accordance with the law when the drowning was passive or active and could not be determined based on the evidence of both parties.
Zhang Junzhong, a lawyer representing Luo’s parents, told Red Star News that the family had previously entrusted him to continue to make claims through legal channels to the other two insurance companies that refused to pay. At the end of this month, the family’s dispute with one of the insurance companies will be heard at the Wuhan Arbitration Commission.

Bureau of Statistics: The month-on-month decline in the sales price of commercial residential buildings weakened in January
Sheng Guoqing, chief statistician of the City Department of the National Bureau of Statistics, explained that in January 2022, the sales prices of newly built commercial housing and second-hand housing in 70 large and medium-sized cities weakened from the previous month, and the year-on-year increase generally fell.
The sales price of new commercial housing in first-tier cities turned from a month-on-month decrease of 0.1% to an increase of 0.6%, of which Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen rose by 1.0%, 0.6%, 0.5% and 0.5% respectively; second-hand housing in first-tier cities rose by 0.1% month-on-month , the increase was the same as last month, with Beijing and Shanghai up 0.5% and 0.6% respectively, Guangzhou and Shenzhen down 0.2% and 0.5% respectively.
The sales price of new commercial residential buildings in second-tier cities changed from a decrease of 0.3% in the previous month to an increase of 0.1%; the second-hand housing decreased by 0.2% month-on-month, and the decline rate narrowed by 0.1 percentage points from the previous month.

Yan Yuejin, research director of the Think Tank Center of the E-House Research Institute, explained that Yinchuan had the largest increase in the month-on-month increase in the house price index in January. Judging from the ranking of house price increases since last year, Yinchuan was also the city with the largest increase in the country in July and September. Generally speaking, the potential demand for housing in such cities is actually relatively large. Although there are also policy controls, the prices are prone to rebound, and relatively need to be controlled. In terms of year-on-year growth rate, Chongqing has ranked first for four consecutive months. This also shows that the recent policy on the reduction of the down payment ratio in Chongqing is not entirely due to the bad market conditions, but is somewhat related to the mentality of the banks in various regions to take the initiative to lower the ratio.
