Adam Curtis talks about power, politics and his new film.

Adam Curtis’s career feels like a series of glitches at the heart of the BBC. His films are completely separated from the output of this channel. The first episode of his series "The Trap" (2007) covers the rise of game theory under the paranoia during the Cold War. It starts with a chilling title card ("Humans will always betray you") and is broadcast directly on BBC 2 after Crufts—, an extension of an international dog beauty contest.

Now, however, Curtis’s films can be obtained democratically on the Internet and are wildly welcomed by young people. They are documentaries on the surface, but his method is closer to poetry or video art than traditional narrative TV programs. Curtis also carefully avoided the stipulation of political labels, sometimes criticized the instability of capitalism with revolutionary Marxism, and sometimes he was a liberal technical utopian. However, in his infectious soundtrack and baroque visual style, Curtis is consistent with unwavering romanticism. He wants the audience to have a feeling-not simply explain the world.

I can’t get you out of my mind poster

Curtis’s new series "Can’t Get You Out of My Head" is a real epic. This six-part eight-hour series depicts the ups and downs of society from collectivism to individualism. His unrestricted access to BBC archives gave each episode an all-powerful eye, which Curtis used to locate and explain power, and the change of hands of power uprooted the world.

It all started with a sentence by David Gray Bo, using Curtis’s trademark all-capital Helvetica bold font-"The most secret truth in the world is that it is made by us and can be easily made into different shapes". With the development of the plot, the series tries to understand why this ultimate truth is really hidden, not dazzling. Through each episode (the last episode weighs 120 minutes), Curtis explores this issue emotionally through personal stories that try to change the modern world (from Russian dissident Edward Limonov to Tupac’s mother and former Panther member Afeni Shakur).

In the interview, Curtis told jacobin magazine about his new drama series, populist left wing, conspiracy theory and his love for music.

You subtitled this new series: "Emotional History of the Modern World". Why "emotion"?

AC:I want to explain why we are so anxious about the future. We know that we are dissatisfied with what we have today. But no one is willing to propose an alternative. I want to explain this paralysis through the rise of individualism, which makes people feel anxious and lonely, and individualism was supposed to liberate them.

In our personal time, our feelings are placed at the center, and we are taught that our inner feelings are the most important. In fact, consumerism also responds to this. Therefore, I want to describe a history of "emotion", because I am interested in the idea that your feelings are related to your system-this is really a forgotten idea.

Your previous series of works followed the narrative convention to some extent, but this series feels more like a collage, and the stories are intertwined in a nonlinear way. Why did you choose to do this?

AC:Part of the reason is that I am restless and I want to try something different. But mainly because I want to do something that feels more like a novel, a multi-part novel, just like what they wrote in the 19th century.

One of the people you pay attention to is Abu Zubaydah, whose brain was reduced to a random image by the torture of the CIA. This series feels a bit like being told through Abu Zubeda’s brain.

In fact, at the end of the film, I had a narrator who said, "We have all become like Abu Zubaida’s brain". But I deleted it because I thought it was too hard and I should let people see it for themselves. And I was right-you did see it. However, the problem about Zubaida is not torture, but that he was stuck in his brain by a shell fragment in 1991 and had such an effect that his experience is no longer meaningful. I think we have all become like this.

This series seems to be deliberately chaotic and disorderly, but history is also chaotic and disorderly. Is there a conflict between making a coherent narrative film and keeping a chaotic description of history?

AC:I want to do both. I want to describe the feeling of living in history in the era of individualism, where you have to rely on yourself and try to make all this meaningful.

You described this personal era, which flourished after World War II and is said to have liberated society, but now you say it is declining and it is no longer interesting as an individual. Can the genie be put back in the bottle?

AC:No-you can’t put it back. People are quite afraid of large-scale and twentieth-century collective efforts to change the world, which often leads to terror. The personal era comes from mass democracy as a response to mass democracy. But it actually leads to individuals who are deprived of power. They all want something different, but they don’t know how to get it. But I think another thing will appear soon, a new kind of politics, which allows you to be an expressive individual, but it is also part of something bigger than yourself. If we can regain control of the Internet from venture capital funds, then this is a good start.

You often talk about the shift from politics to culture, where radicalism just sits there and makes a lot of noise. Well, I am deeply suspicious of radicalism in art. With the rise of Thatcher and Reagan in the 1980s, leftists and liberals retreated to culture, thinking that they could change things from there. But things have not changed. I believe that the function of art is to express its times beautifully. Interestingly, it now beautifully expresses the paralysis of our time. Culture is a comfort blanket for radicals to cling to, so that they can avoid the terrible fact that they have no answer.

Has Covid-19 uprooted power?

AC:Covid-19 showed quite cruelly that the closer you are to power, the less likely you are to die. This understanding is shocking, and it will be as profound as the financial crisis in 2008.

Bernie sanders-and Britain’s jeremy corbyn-led the populist left-wing movement, trying to awaken the traditional collectivism, but they all failed. Why do you think that is?

AC:You must distinguish between the two. Sanders is likely to win the election in 2016. I remember what he said was almost exactly the same as Trump-talking to the white working class and how they were betrayed by the think tank in Washington. Although, in the primary election in 2020, his language has changed. He gave up talking to people that liberals are very afraid of.

I really don’t know Corbin well enough, but I remember talking to Labour activists during the 2019 election. What shocked me was their contempt for Brexit voters. I didn’t vote for Brexit, but I understand why people do it-not just because of anger, but because it is a tactical way to declare your alienation from the mainstream politics managed by technocrats. I know that many gin-drinking colonels in Surrey also voted for Brexit, but the elephant in the room is that all these former Labour voters have suddenly become stupid in the eyes of liberal metropolises.

You can’t deny these people, you must take them seriously. You don’t have to agree with them or believe that their racism is correct, but you must take them seriously and understand their feelings. The same is true in the United States, where Trump supporters are dismissed as being fooled by Putin, leaving them in a crumbling infrastructure and a booming opioid epidemic.

It’s interesting that you mentioned Putin. In this series, you compare the story of "TongRumen" with anonymous Q as a different way to react to the deadlock of Trump’s failed promise.

AC:When you run out of stories-that’s when you get conspiracy theories. There are many people who can’t face up to what is happening. People will not tell how Trump was chosen by Americans instead of Russia, or that he was actually very useless and was not blocked by pedophiles Satan in deep countries. I think these conspiracy theories are suitable for The New York Times, because they increase their reading, and also for intelligence agencies, because they are suddenly known as part of the resistance against Trump.

Back to collectivism, what about the society envisioned by radical Islamism?

AC:What we westerners don’t understand is that modern Islamic radicalism, which began in the late 1950s, was completely unable to bring the masses into it by the mid-1990s-maybe not in Iran, but it has completely failed in the Sunni world. The attack on the World Trade Center was not the result of a powerful movement, but the lashing out of a failed movement. The Sunni masses had not stood up at that time-not in Egypt, nor in Algeria.

But these tendencies are collectivist in thought?

AC:The question of our time is this-how do you manage a world of millions of individuals, millions of screaming pigs-how do you get them together? There is a saying that it is not the politicians’ fault that we got this withered managerialism-it is just a way to deal with millions of pigs desperately. We are little monsters. Seriously, we are.

I want to ask you a question about ghosts. M.R. James has a story called "Oh, whistle, I will come to you, my boy", and you are influenced.

AC:The inscription on the whistle that the hero of that story found on the beach-"What’s coming?" (What is this that is coming)-almost became the title of this series. But this is not a stupid thing. M.R. James wrote these stories in the 1890s, which I think is a similar era to the present. The British Empire is collapsing. With this feeling of fear and guilt, something will come back to haunt you. I think the United States has felt this way since the Vietnam War.

It’s a bit like what Mark Fisher wrote-the ghost of the past came back to cover the future.

AC:I know Mark. We used to meet in a cafe next to Liverpool Street Station and have a long talk about all this. We appeared on the stage together in Berlin, I think. But back to this idea about ghosts, I use certain characters, because they have the idea that you can force ghosts out of people’s minds and create a new society. But they forget that the most important thing is the ghost in their own heads.

The same is true of Brexit, who are troubled by a fictional and idealized vision of British history. Dominic Cummings (Boris Johnson’s former adviser, who is considered to be the mastermind of the Brexit movement) entered Britain through nationalism, which is something that liberals are very afraid of.

This is why Edward Limonov’s National Bolshevik Party is so symbolic in Russia.

AC:Exactly. Limonov is not a very nice person, but he did put forward an interesting point, that is, unless the left wing either uses nationalism or creates a stronger new myth, they will not have enough people on their side.

The last message in the series is likely to be quite promising. It says that if we can become more confident, then we can create a new vision for the future. This makes me feel strange, because it sounds like self-help, and you seem to despise this kind of thing?

AC:No, it’s the opposite of self-help. It is "stop imagining what you can do to yourself and start imagining what we can do to change the world". The starting point of self-help is that you can transform society by transforming yourself, but what we end up with is a society full of anxiety. I hope people can get out of this matter of self-help. That’s why I quoted David Gray Bo.

Your film has a very wide audience and many disgruntled young people are watching it. What do you want to say to a confused and depressed 16-year-old boy?

AC:Nothing. The last thing they want is for me to tell them what to do. I know I have such an audience, but I don’t know why. When I was filming All Watched Over by Machines of Loving Grace, I heard that children broke into the house occupied by Croydon (a town in South London) and held an all-night party to watch my movie. It was strange, and then I realized that I had broken through.

Poster "Everything is guarded by the grace machine of love"

Your movies can also be silly.

AC:Yes, I can be silly. But you must keep a straight face. You can’t let people know that you are trying to be funny, because it’s not funny. But back to the original question, there are also old people who like my work. The people who never seem to like it are political journalists. They are not interested at all. They can’t understand why I put music in it.

It’s time for us to talk about music. Why do you choose tracks instead of using original soundtracks?

AC:Basically, I want to create an emotion. But this is not cynicism. It’s always my favorite music. For a while, I decided to end the series with Zombie by the cranberry band, because it seemed appropriate. But the terrible fact is that I don’t like that song. Just before this series was about to air, I was lying in bed thinking about this song and couldn’t sleep. Finally, I replaced it with Til I Gain Control Again by This Mortal Coil.

Why did you choose this?

AC: Because it makes me cry.

Is music the first? Have you ever changed what you want to write because you want to use a song?

AC: Not in general. I tend to use images. I will use a piece of music to oppose it, and then sometimes I will adjust something to suit this song. This is an organic process, but sometimes they just work. In "Lake of Bitterness" (a film about America and Islam made by Curtis in 2015), there is a david bowie song called "The Bewlay Brothers". I put it in and it was a success. I’m never literal. You see, I’m emotional. Another example is that in the first movie of the new series, I used the German version of Marlene Dietrich’s Where Have All the Flowers Gone, and at first I used the version sung by Donovan.

Bitter Lake

You also used Burial’s Forgive, who is a frequent visitor to your soundtrack.

AC:Yes, that song is very cute. But "Come Down to Us" is the best one. It is one of the great works of our time. But there are many Burial songs that I don’t like, because they are too dubstep.

I like that you use The Specials’ Do Nothing. That song is cheerful, but it is also quite nihilistic. The same is true of Sex Pistols’s Who Killed Bambi from The Great Rock ‘n’ Roll Swindle.

AC:I want to put skinheads in. Look. I always thought skinheads were said badly. I used to be a skinhead when I was young, because I like reggae and ragga (reggae branch, combined with rap) music. Skinheads are ambiguous figures, and I am attracted by ambiguous figures.

To tell the truth, a lot of this music, it sounds like "Adam Curtis Music".

AC:[Laughter] Well, I think we all have certainty and uncertainty about our personality. I’m really not sure about my writing style. I’m really not good at writing, and I’m troubled by it. But I’m very sure about my taste in music.

Can you tell me something about your editing process? The image in my mind is that you-a person-are sitting in front of a huge control panel and gradually accumulating copyright invoices. Is this real life?

AC:Corresponding to what?

Well, as long as you snap your fingers, you will have a team of student volunteers to browse the BBC files for you. But you won’t do it.

AC:What’s the point? If you draw my career, it is completely connected with the digitalization of everything. When you start digitizing images, it’s easy to rotate them quickly. That’s what I’ve been doing all my life. I have thousands of hours of videos on many hard drives.

How do you arrange your hard disk? Are they marked with things like "dark train shots" or "city view at night"?

AC:[Laughs] No. I read one day that Amazon’s execution center randomly stores items because it is more efficient. My stuff is also very random. I have a coding system, but I also have a memory of visual patterns, so I always know where everything is. My main rule is that if it makes me cry or want to dance, then it works.

Back to your use of language, what I like is how you speak in these grand ways-you put the world in epic historical terms.

AC:Do you still remember Marianne Williamson (American writer) in the primary election of American Democratic Party? I like her because she speaks in epic historical terms. Because of this, I have a lot of trouble with my American liberal friends. Back to M.R. James and "What’s coming?" This is coming. Some people put this uncertainty and confusion on a big and historic level. Britain needs the same thing. I mean, now Labour’s argument makes me want to cry.

Why is this?

AC:Because it is speaking in utilitarian terms set by the think tank. Political needs are exciting. It can be exciting because it can tell a powerful story. We are eager for this kind of story and this kind of excitement.

Yes, there are indeed many revolutionary attempts based on grand ideas that have led to terrible results. This is an indisputable fact, and it has penetrated into people’s consciousness. But it is also true that many other things based on grand ideas and revolutions have led to amazing things: for example, the United States, or mass democracy, or the welfare state. These are all born out of grand ideas. So, we are in this pessimistic world, and we seize those failed examples and say that this means that you can never change the world. But what I want to say by quoting David Gray Bo is: Yes, we all created bad things, but we also created great things.

9 major effects Drinking green tea often has many benefits [2]

  After understanding the efficacy and function of green tea, many netizens may not know the storage method of green tea. Let’s take a look at it with Xiaobian.

  A bogey wet:

  Green tea is a kind of loose and porous hydrophilic substance, so it has strong moisture absorption and moisture regain. When storing green tea, the relative humidity is 60%, and when it exceeds 70%, mildew spots will occur due to moisture absorption, and then acidification will occur.

  Second, avoid high temperature:

  The optimum storage temperature of green tea leaves is 0-5℃. If the temperature is too high, amino acids, sugars, vitamins and aromatic substances in tea will be decomposed and destroyed, which will reduce the quality, aroma and taste.

  Three bogey sunshine:

  Sunlight can promote the oxidation of green tea pigments and esters, and can decompose chlorophyll into pheophytin. Green tea leaves are stored in glass containers or transparent plastic bags. After being exposed to sunlight, their internal substances will react chemically, which will deteriorate the quality of green tea leaves.

  Four bogey oxygen:

  Chlorophyll, aldehydes, esters and vitamin C in green tea are easy to combine with oxygen in the air. The oxidized green tea leaves will make the green tea soup turn red and deepen, which will greatly reduce the nutritional value.

  Five bogey odor:

  Green tea leaves contain high molecular palm enzymes and terpenoids. This kind of substance is extremely unstable in nature and can absorb odor widely. Therefore, when tea leaves are mixed with odorous items for storage, they will absorb the odor and cannot be removed.

The Island’s latest reality show, LAY, is distressed by Bo Huang.

1905 movie network news byBo HuangDirecting and acting,Baoqiang WangShu Qi; Hsu Kei、Hsu ChiLAYYu HeweiWang XunA film starring Li Qinqin and Li Youlin.The IslandIt was released nationwide on August 10th. Behind-the-scenes reality show has attracted many audiences by presenting various ways of film creation, and received constant praise. Recently, the sixth episode of the behind-the-scenes reality show "Another Good Play" was launched. Director Bo Huang prayed to the sky for rain and good weather. LAY saw that the director was bored, naughty and amused, and Shu Qi was still tolerant when he was scolded and cried. Qi Fei and The Island are worth looking forward to.



"Newcomer Director" once again challenges the bad weather. LAY’s distressed director Bo Huang wants to be funny.


"The road is difficult to walk, but if the direction is right, just stick to it." Facing the bad weather on the set, director Bo Huang is no longer as anxious as he was at first, but more calm. Although he is helpless and sad, he still treats every scene with full emotions.


Director Bo Huang and LAY play two brothers in the film, so they have relatively more contact. LAY said that when watching the director change his makeup four or five times a day, he would fall asleep every time. In the movie, he was tied up and hung up. Huang Bo hung up the monitor and script in an extremely difficult posture. LAY admitted that he was very distressed. I tried my best to help the director decompress on the set, and bluntly said that the weather was bad, so I went swimming in the sea, which made the director feel that LAY was irritating and lovely.


The Island Qixi poster


Wang Baoqiang stepped on Bo Huang to climb a tree and accidentally fell down. Wang Xun was naked and trapped in the sea for 3 hours. Shu Qi was scolded by the director and still encouraged each other.


Wang Baoqiang reappeared his kung fu on the set, regardless of the obstacles such as strong wind and slippery ground. Unexpectedly, he slipped on Bo Huang and climbed a tree in the play, but he made repeated mistakes due to the weather, but he still persisted in completing the shooting task. Wang Xun gave her virgin nude scene, soaked in seawater at five degrees Celsius for three hours, shivering without saying anything. Bo Huang, the director, was worried about filming Wang Baoqiang and Wang Xun, but his heart was steadfast. Thanks to years of tacit support from his friends, the filming was successfully completed.


Bo Huang, the director of Tucao in Shu Qi, has many demands for directing the play, and he is under great pressure to pursue perfection. Bo Huang, the director, is angry at the small details and asks for a remake. The atmosphere at the scene is dignified. Shu Qi pretends to cry and says that the director is cursing, and even the main creators show up to celebrate Shu Qi’s birthday. Bo Huang sings LAY B-Box’s happy birthday song, and everyone calls "Let’s go our own way" to encourage each other and restore the happy atmosphere at the scene.


The film The Island tells the story of a group of people who are accidentally shipwrecked, forced to live on a desert island and face a series of "human nature" problems. The film was jointly produced by Shanghai Hanna Film and Television Culture Media Co., Ltd., Beijing Light Film Co., Ltd., Horgos Chunronghe Media Co., Ltd. and Horgos Le Blossoming Film Co., Ltd., and was strongly supported by the project funded by the special fund for promoting the development of Shanghai film.

Sichuan Nanchong Land and Resources Bureau broke the contract of "one place and two sales", and both developers claimed that they were victimized.

Xie Guoyou felt helpless. He took a stake in bidding for a piece of land with a price of nearly 200 million yuan in Nanchong City, Sichuan Province. However, after starting the development, he found that the land was still controversial before the auction: Nanchong City Land and Resources Bureau was accused of "selling one place for two".

In 2011, Nanchong Xinda Real Estate Development Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Xinda Company") won the land and signed a land transfer contract with Nanchong Land and Resources Bureau. Later, due to the debt dispute between the two parties, Nanchong Land and Resources Bureau dissolved the land transfer contract on its own, and in 2013, it sold the land to Nanchong TEDA Real Estate Company (hereinafter referred to as "TEDA Company"), in which Xie Guoyou was a shareholder.

Xinda Company therefore sued Nanchong Land and Resources Bureau for "one place for two sales" and colluded maliciously with TEDA Company. The lawsuit lasted for more than two years, and the land was seized, so the development process of TEDA company stopped.

September 29, 2016,According to the final judgment of the Supreme Court, Nanchong Land and Resources Bureau’s termination of the contract with Xinda Company is a fundamental breach of contract, that is, the breach of contract caused by its intentional behavior, and there is no malicious collusion with TEDA Company.At the same time, it is determined that the land transfer contract signed by Xinda Company and TEDA Company on the same plot is valid.

In the years of litigation tug-of-war, the local real estate market has already fallen from the peak to the trough, and both companies have paid a huge price for it, and Nanchong Land and Resources Bureau is even more tired of coping with it.

On December 7th, the staff of Nanchong City Land and Resources Bureau responded to The Paper, saying that it was unclear about the fact that the Land and Resources Bureau was judged to be in fundamental breach of contract, so it was impossible to provide more information.

The land invested by nearly 200 million was seized.

Nanchong land and resources bureau. The pictures in this article are all from The Paper reporter Xu Hui.

Recently, Xie Guoyou, a minority shareholder of TEDA Company, and others went to Nanchong Land and Resources Bureau as soon as they had time, demanding to solve the economic losses caused by "one place and two sales".

On November 30th, The Paper learned from Nanchong City Land and Resources Bureau that the Bureau proposed two solutions to solve the problems of TEDA Company: "First, terminate the contract, and the government will refund the land payment and compensate the losses. The second is to continue to perform the contract, and the government will compensate the related losses through certain preferential policies. "

Xie Guoyou and others prefer the second scheme. "To make the Land and Resources Bureau pay hundreds of millions of dollars in cash, and I don’t know when it will be, it is also helpless to choose the second plan. After all, the real estate market is not what it used to be." Xie Guoyou said.

On December 6th, Xie Guoyou told The Paper that they were discussing the details of the scheme with Nanchong Land and Resources Bureau, but the key still needed the approval of the government and planning departments. If all goes well, the development projects that were stopped more than two years ago because of Nanchong Land and Resources Bureau’s "one place and two sales" can be restarted.

Xie Guoyou and other shareholders are waiting for a reply in the office of Nanchong Land and Resources Bureau.

According to Xie Guoyou, in May 2013, Nanchong City Land and Resources Bureau published a land transfer information in the local media, and publicly auctioned the No.1 plot of Wangtianba in Shunqing District of Nanchong City. Sichuan Century Antai Co., Ltd. and an independent investor named Lin Ying finally won the land. The land transfer contract signed by the two parties shows that the buyer finally won 352,995 mu of land at a high price of 5.62 million yuan per mu, with a total price of nearly 200 million yuan.

Xie Guoyou said that in fact, Century Antai Company and Lin Ying are followed by a large group of investors. They are all relatives, friends and acquaintances. Together, they have raised money to win this land. There are more than 100 large and small shareholders, and each person’s investment ranges from several million to tens of millions. After winning the land, they registered TEDA company in Nanchong and developed and built it in the name of the company.

"We have set up a board of directors and a management team, and geological prospecting, earthwork excavation and transportation have all started." Xie Guoyou said, but in April 2014, Xinda Company sued Nanchong Land and Resources Bureau to the Sichuan Higher People’s Court on the grounds that Wangtianba No.1 was "sold in one place", and at the same time listed TEDA Company as the second defendant on the grounds of "malicious collusion", and the above land was immediately seized by the court.

"At this time, we realized that this land was sold to Xinda Company before it was sold to us. We auctioned a disputed land at a high price." Xie Guoyou said.

Land and Resources Bureau auctions disputed land.

In July 2014, the Sichuan High Court held two sessions to hear the above-mentioned "one place and two sales" case. According to the judgment made by the institute, on August 26th, 2011, Xinda Company won the Wangtianba No.1 plot through public bidding, paid a deposit of 13 million yuan, and signed the Confirmation of Auction of State-owned Construction Land Use Rights with Nanchong Land and Resources Bureau. However, Xinda company has not paid the land transfer fee.

The reason is that Xinda Company participated in the "Xihe Comprehensive Improvement Project" in Nanchong City in 1998, and Nanchong Municipal Government issued a document promising that investment in this project can give priority to the land development right or land use transferee right of Xihe Community, and convert the land evaluation value to offset the project construction funds.

The above judgment shows that after Xinda Company completed the project, Nanchong City Land and Resources Bureau has been delaying the settlement of the flood dike project, unable to evaluate the project construction funds, so Xinda Company has been unable to enjoy this preferential policy for a long time. Until 2006, Xinda Company filed a lawsuit with Nanchong Intermediate People’s Court, and deducted 32.05 million yuan from the government project. At this time, compared with 1998, the land price has soared more than 10 times, and only the project funds of that year offset the current land price. Xinda Company thinks that it has not enjoyed the preferential policies promised by the government.

In 2010, Xinda Company filed a lawsuit with the court, and Nanchong Intermediate People’s Court immediately made a judgment (2010) No.56, requesting Nanchong City Land and Resources Bureau to convert 57.31 mu of land to Xinda Company at a price of 470,000 yuan per mu at a total price of 26 million yuan.

In 2011, after winning the Wangtian No.1 plot, Xinda Company sent a letter to Nanchong Land and Resources Bureau, proposing that Wangtian No.1 plot and Land and Resources Bureau offset each other’s debts according to the above judgment, and Xinda Company would not pay the rest land transfer fees. But this has not been recognized by the land department.

On December 13th, 2011, Nanchong Land and Resources Bureau filed a lawsuit in Nanchong Shunqing District Court, requesting the court to confirm that Xinda Company’s letter "Offset the transfer fee of Wangtianba No.1 plot according to the content of (2010) South China Law Minchuzi No.56" was invalid. Xinda Company filed a counterclaim, which was rejected by Shunqing District Court, and Xinda Company refused to accept the appeal to Nanchong Intermediate People’s Court.

During the appeal of Xinda Company, the Bureau of Land and Resources sent a letter on the grounds that Xinda Company failed to pay the land transfer fee within the time limit, canceling the transfer contract between the Bureau and Xinda Company on Wangtianba No.1 plot, canceling the Confirmation of Transaction and confiscating Xinda Company’s 13 million bid bond.

On May 27th, 2013, Nanchong City Bureau of Land and Resources issued an announcement to re-list and auction Wangtianba No.1 plot, which was later won by TEDA Company.

When TEDA Company got enough land and started to develop and construct projects, Xinda Company sued Nanchong Land and Resources Bureau and TEDA Company to the Sichuan Provincial High Court.

Oddly, on May 21, 2014, Nanchong Land and Resources Bureau withdrew the lawsuit filed with Shunqing District Court.

In addition, Nanchong Land and Resources Bureau appealed to Sichuan High Court on February 19, 2012 against the judgment of (2010) South China Law Minchuzi No.56. On February 19, 2014, Sichuan High Court revoked the judgment and sent it back to Nanchong Intermediate People’s Court for retrial.

On August 31, 2016, the Sichuan Higher People’s Court made a final judgment, and found that the preferential policies that Xinda Company agreed to enjoy when it participated in the comprehensive improvement project of Xihe River had not been implemented, but Xinda Company should advocate "fault liability in contracting" instead of asking the Land and Resources Bureau to fulfill the contract to deliver the land and compensate for the losses caused by the delayed delivery of the land.

"Fundamental breach of contract" by Land and Resources Bureau

The "Wangtianba No.1 Plot" that has been involved in lawsuits has been idle for many years, and now it is overgrown with weeds.

Xinda Company claimed that Nanchong Land and Resources Bureau and TEDA Company colluded maliciously, which made TEDA Company illegally acquire the plot. Request the court to judge Nanchong Land and Resources Bureau to perform the land transfer contract and deliver Wangtianba No.1 plot to Xinda Company; At the same time, it is determined that the land transfer contract signed by the Bureau of Land and Resources and TEDA Company is invalid.

The Sichuan Higher People’s Court found in the first instance that TEDA Company did not have malicious bidding and there was no malicious collusion with Nanchong Land and Resources Bureau. Moreover, the contract between Nanchong Land and Resources Bureau and Xinda Company is no longer possible to be fulfilled. However, after Nanchong Land and Resources Bureau sued Xinda Company for failing to pay the land transfer fee and asked the court to confirm that the land transfer contract was invalid, it was declared that the dissolution of the land transfer contract with Xinda Company constituted a fundamental breach of contract and the dissolution was invalid. Therefore, the Land Transaction Confirmation signed by Nanchong Land and Resources Bureau and Xinda Company is still legal and valid.

In law, fundamental breach of contract refers to the breach of contract caused by the intentional behavior of the breaching party. If one party breaches the contract fundamentally, the other party may claim to terminate the contract and claim damages.

At the same time, the Sichuan Higher People’s Court also found that Nanchong Land and Resources Bureau signed the "Transaction Confirmation" with TEDA Company in 2013, which was also legal and valid. Therefore, Xinda Company’s accusation that its malicious bidding and contract are invalid is untenable and rejected.

Nanchong Land and Resources Bureau and Xinda Company both refused to accept the judgment of Sichuan High Court and appealed to the Supreme Court. On September 29, 2016, the Supreme Law made a final judgment, dismissed the appeal and upheld the original judgment. At the same time, it is pointed out that because Xinda Company did not make compensation for the fundamental breach of contract of Nanchong Land and Resources Bureau in this case, this issue is not within the scope of acceptance and will be solved by both parties separately.

In October 2016, TEDA Company began to investigate the compensation liability from Nanchong Land and Resources Bureau after receiving the final judgment of the Supreme Law. Xie Guoyou said that from 2013 to now, although it was only three years, it was not easy to solve it. What is even worse for them is that after 2013, the real estate market in the whole second-and third-tier cities began to shrink, and the house price and land price in Nanchong all declined. Now, if we continue to perform the contract, we will lose even more. However, after a month or two of stalemate with Nanchong Municipal Government, on November 30th, they chose to continue to perform the contract.

"It is better to let the government give some preferential conditions and return the money by continuing to perform the contract." He said that the Bureau of Land and Resources would not have to refund them 200 million yuan of land money, but he also thought that they needed to pay extra compensation in order to recover the losses to the greatest extent.

On the 13th, the Central Meteorological Observatory issued an orange warning of typhoon that there will be heavy rain in Zhejiang, Shanghai and Jiangsu.

  Cctv newsThe Central Meteorological Observatory issued an orange warning of typhoon at 06: 00 on September 13th.

  Typhoon Meihua, the 12th typhoon this year, moved into the southern part of the East China Sea early this morning (13th) and strengthened into a strong typhoon at 5 o’clock in the morning. Its center is located about 490 kilometers east-south of Xiangshan County, Zhejiang Province, that is, 25.5 degrees north latitude and 124.1 degrees east longitude. The maximum wind force near the center is 14 (42m/s), and the lowest pressure at the center is 955 hectopascals and 7.

  It is estimated that "Meihua" will move from north to northwest at a speed of 10-15 kilometers per hour, and its intensity will be strengthened, and it will gradually approach the coastal area from Wenling to Zhoushan in Zhejiang, and will land in the above coastal areas from the afternoon of the 14th to the night (typhoon level or strong typhoon level, 38-45 m/s, 13-14); After landing, Meihua will continue to move to the northwest, and its intensity will gradually weaken.

  Gale forecast:From 08: 00 on September 13th to 08: 00 on 14th, there will be 6-8 winds and 9-11 gusts in bashi channel, northern Taiwan Province Strait, east of Taiwan Province, southwestern Yellow Sea, most of the East China Sea and the waters near Diaoyu Island, the Yangtze River estuary, Hangzhou Bay, the northern and eastern coasts of Taiwan Province Island, the coastal areas of Zhejiang, northern Fujian, Shanghai and southeastern Jiangsu, among which there will be 9-11 winds and gusts in some parts of the East China Sea.

  Defense guide:

  1. The government and relevant departments shall, in accordance with their duties, do a good job in typhoon prevention and emergency rescue.

  2. Water operations and passing ships in relevant waters should return to Hong Kong to take shelter from the wind, strengthen port facilities, and prevent ships from anchoring, grounding and collision.

  3. Stop large-scale indoor and outdoor gatherings and dangerous outdoor operations such as high altitude.

  4. Reinforce or dismantle structures that are easy to be blown by the wind. Personnel should not go out at will. They should stay in windproof and safe places as far as possible, so as to ensure that the elderly and children stay in the safest place at home, and the dangerous people will be transferred in time. When the typhoon center passes by, the wind will decrease or stay still for a period of time. Remember that the strong wind will suddenly blow, and you should continue to stay in a safe place to avoid the wind, and the dangerous people will be transferred in time.

  5. Relevant areas should pay attention to prevent flash floods and geological disasters that may be caused by heavy precipitation.

Mercedes-Benz AMG ONE: Five things you don’t know about highway F1

Can this Mercedes-Benz scare Ferrari and Lamborghini on the road into karami?

It’s not an airplane, but it’s equipped with flaps?

What is the secret weapon of DRS on this steering wheel?

So five things you don’t know about Mercedes-Benz AMG ONE:


The first thing

The logo of AMG ONE is the same as F1.spray paintRather than three-dimensional, but the visual effect is particularly three-dimensional, and the main body of Xinghui is still anti-bright. It is impossible to see that it is "painted" without touching it.

The purpose of this is the same as that of F1 racing car, in order to minimize the resistance. Don’t let go of such a small wind resistance, F1 King deserves to be you!


The second thing.

The aerodynamic design of AMG ONE is not exactly the same as that of F1 racing car, but it is not much different: the car can be ventilated as long as it has eyes, whether it is the front air inlet, the air outlet with air comb on the top of the car, the air inlet on the same roof of the antenna baby, or the air inlet behind these two triangular grooves on the roof, all of which are open, plus huge shark fins and huge tail diffuser.This is not a "road F1", it is simply a "road sieve", all the air is combed smoothly, and the turbulence is shaking with fear!


The third thing.

If you think this is not enough, then when you open it,Track modeThe suspension will be lowered to the ground, the flaps on the front wheel arch will be unfolded, and the two-stage tail will be opened. If you think it is still almost interesting, then it will be surpassed when accelerating in a straight line.80km/hAfter that, you can even turn on the DRS mode of F1 racing car, with small tail recovery and flap recovery, so that when overtaking, you can experience an arrow that is more than an arrow that leaves the string, and it is faster than the lightning!


The fourth thing

The steering wheel of this car is the twin brother of F1, but its seat has a big "bug" for a short and fat person like me, that isThe seat is completely unadjustable.What if your legs are too short to reach the pedal? You only need to pull the handle in the middle of the seat cushion to adjust the whole pedal area, including the distance of the left foot support position.

What about long and short legs? Long and short legs have to go to the hospital, and sisters don’t treat diseases here. (Just kidding)


The fifth thing

AMG ONE adopts a 1.6-liter V6 turbocharged engine which is basically the same as F1 racing technology, and is combined with four motors to form a set of hybrid electric power system. The comprehensive maximum power is 1063hp, and it only takes 2.9s for 0-100km/h acceleration and 7.0s for 0-200km/h acceleration.


The sixth thing

Although this hybrid electric vehicle supports pure electric mode, it can only run 18 kilometers with pure electric power, which is the distance from Chaoyang District, Beijing to Haidian. It is not enough to go to Caishikou to buy a set of pancakes with pure electric power.


The seventh thing

Only 275 cars were produced for this car with a price of nearly 20 million, and it was sold out just after it went on the market on June 1. So we’re 20 million short? We are too slow to grab the quota! (not)

Liu Qibao, Secretary of Sichuan Provincial Party Committee: A year of disaster (Figure)

Topic: the first anniversary of the Wenchuan earthquake

  One year has passed since the Wenchuan earthquake. Looking back sadly, on the vast land, Sichuan, which was reborn after the earthquake, left a string of footprints of moving heaven and earth and magnificent mountains and rivers. This year, we crossed the disaster, rose in danger, and wrote about being strong and rising!


  We are gratified to see that Sichuan has not collapsed, its economy has not collapsed, its spirit has not collapsed, and the people of Sichuan have stood up from the ruins with their backs straight.


  The shock of broken mountains and rivers


  At 14: 28 on May 12, 2008, the clock on Dongqi Square in Hanwang Town, Mianzhu City stopped a rare disaster in history forever.


  A strong earthquake of magnitude 8 instantly tore the Longmen Mountains. From Yingxiu, the epicenter, to Qingchuan, Beichuan, Wenchuan, the fault zone stretched for more than 300 kilometers, and the hardest-hit area was 100,000 square kilometers. The mountains and rivers were broken, houses collapsed, roads were blocked, and the splendid land was devastated. In Beichuan, Wenchuan, the home of Tibetan and Qiang people, in Hanwang, Mianzhu, an important industrial town, and Dujiangyan, a tourist resort in Wolong, beautiful homeland was in ruins in the past. The most worrying thing is the separation of flesh and blood and where will you go’s pain. Tens of thousands of relatives were killed in an instant, countless compatriots were in urgent need of rescue in the dangerous buildings and broken walls, and tens of millions of people lost their homes that their ancestors had worked hard for.


  Sichuan suddenly faced great disaster, and the Republic suffered national mourning. Disasters have shattered Sichuan, shocked China and shocked the world.


  An arduous struggle


  The unprecedented disaster affected Zhongnanhai. Party and state leaders rushed to the front line and commanded from the front. The Republic has made great efforts in earthquake relief. "No difficulty can defeat the heroic people of China!" "As long as there is a glimmer of hope, we must do our best!" The strong voice of one heart and one mind to overcome the difficulties shocked the mountains and rivers, and the feelings of people-oriented and governing for the people warmed people’s hearts!


  The disaster is the order, and the emergency rescue is urgent. Party committees and governments in disaster areas acted quickly, party member cadres stepped forward, people in disaster areas stood up to save themselves, and rescue forces from all sides advanced at full speed. Under the banner of Gao Yang’s Party, Party organizations at all levels bravely took responsibility for rescuing people and became a strong fortress to lead the masses. 130,000 soldiers leapt thousands of miles and built the Great Wall of Steel with flesh and blood to save the people from danger; Angels in white races against time and death, igniting the light of hope in down came a blackbird. Volunteers from the north and south of the great river, "brothers" who spontaneously saved people, long queues of voluntary blood donation, and elderly people who donated the income from scavenging have merged into a rolling torrent to overcome catastrophic disasters, demonstrating the great power of the Chinese nation to help each other and hold hands in times of crisis. 83,988 people were rescued from the ruins, and more than 360,000 seriously wounded and sick people were treated in time, and the mortality rate and disability rate were minimized.


  Don’t give up after thousands of difficulties, and fight one after another. In the decisive battle against the Tangjiashan dammed lake, the officers and men of the army fought day and night, and the threat hanging over the people of Mianyang was safely eliminated. Fighting Duwen Road, it took only three months to build the "Iron Army" to cross the collapsed mountain, miraculously opening up the "lifeline" connecting Wenchuan, Lixian and Maoxian. In the shortest time, the communication, water supply and power supply in the disaster area were rushed through, and 104 dammed lakes and 1996 earthquake-damaged reservoirs were saved. The combination of special groups, entering villages and households, leaving no dead ends and thorough epidemic prevention have realized that there is no epidemic situation after the disaster and our people are safe.


  Brave, boundless love, how many epic feats and characters move the world. Teacher Tan Qianqiu protected her students with her arms at the last moment of her life; Lin Hao, a hero and teenager, carried two students out of danger with weak shoulders; The loving mother told the child under her body by SMS: "Dear baby, if you can live, you must remember that I love you"; "Police Flower" Jiang Min endured the pain of losing 10 relatives and stayed at his post for many days and nights; "Salute doll" Lang Zheng raised his tender right arm to express his gratitude at the moment of rebirth; "Ballet Girl" Li Yue used her broken limbs to fly her dream of growing up. People in capitals will always touch and inspire us and walk with us forever.


  The choice between life and death, the blending of tears and sweat, has created a great spirit of earthquake relief. China’s strength is amazing, and the spirit of China has touched the world.


  People who are hard to leave.


  Disaster relief is to save the people, and reconstruction is for the people. Tens of millions of people are homeless, and the destroyed homes need to be rebuilt urgently. The expectations of the people are our greatest responsibility. Open granaries to help the poor, build a market and fall into the sky. Three days after the earthquake, the warehouse was opened to release grain, which calmed people’s hearts. Implement "local, nearby and scattered" resettlement to restore the family life of the affected people as soon as possible. In three months, the transitional housing problem of 4.5 million people whose houses were damaged by the disaster was solved, and more than 11.9 million people who lost their homes lived in their homes, sharing the glory of the Olympic Games with the people of the whole country. In late summer and early autumn, the "Warm Winter Action" was launched in an all-round way, and 3.99 million quilts and 4.9 million cotton-padded clothes were collected in the disaster area. The activity of "Love Helps the Orphans to celebrate the New Year" makes orphans, the elderly and the disabled no longer feel lonely, and the people in the disaster areas are safe and warm for the winter, happy and peaceful for the New Year.


  The leadership of the party, the cohesion of the nation, the comprehensive national strength of the socialist motherland and the incomparable superiority of the socialist system have been fully demonstrated in times of crisis. "If one party is in trouble, all parties will support it". All provinces in the country have made great efforts to help each other, and 18 provinces and cities have provided counterpart support. Chinese compatriots gave generously, and international friends donated enthusiastically. Money, silk, clothes, tents, food and medicine, care and love from all corners of the country warm this land ravaged by earthquake disasters.


  The party and government are peaceful and the people are strong. "With hands, feet and lives, great difficulties can be overcome", "Do your own work, sweat your own sweat, and do your own thing". This is the character of the people in the disaster area! Even under the rubble, the people in the disaster area strongly chose to stand; Even though there are thorns ahead, the people in the disaster area resolutely choose to move forward. Sweat dilutes tears, and the disaster area rises with infinite hope of rebirth.


  All beings in front of nature


  Sichuan is a magical land. Beautiful mountains and rivers, outstanding people, and beautiful things. The people of Sichuan are hardworking, intelligent, strong, tenacious and optimistic. They have created a magnificent Bashu culture and written magnificent revolutionary poems.


  Nature creates a beautiful home for human beings, and nature also has great destructive power. "There is no great historical disaster that is not compensated by historical progress." At present, human beings can’t avoid the sudden attack and destruction of natural disasters, but they can get compensation from historical progress. The warning of disaster needs to be learned in reconstruction and development.


  Through the disaster, we know better that human beings are the sons of nature, and they are bred, evolved and grown in the embrace of nature. No matter how wise you are, no matter how superior you are, you can never stand outside nature. You must know, respect and treat nature well. Developing oneself in harmony with nature is a difficult theme for human survival and progress.


  To remember disasters, we should adhere to scientific development, respect science, follow laws, learn to act according to natural laws, improve our ability to prevent disasters, improve our ability of sustainable development, promote harmony between man and nature, better adapt to nature, and make nature better benefit mankind.


  Looking back at the mountains and rivers, it is still beautiful.


  When will the spring breeze green Longmen?


  Post-disaster recovery and reconstruction, people-oriented, people’s livelihood first. Starting from the need, the scale of reconstruction is unprecedented, and people’s livelihood is in full swing. It is time to speed up reconstruction. Rural housing reconstruction will be completed by the end of this year, and urban housing will be completed before May next year; When the school starts next spring, all the students in the disaster area will bid farewell to the board houses and return to the spacious and bright classrooms. Basic public services such as medical care and sanitation in the disaster areas are also accelerating recovery.


  Old garden heartbroken place, wicker new day and night. The smoke in Radish Village started again, Gina Qiang Village showed a new look, and the houses were completed and moved; Yingxiu primary school has a loud sound, new Beichuan middle school has started construction, and a school building has sprung up; Dujiangyan-Yingxiu Expressway was opened to traffic in both directions, and railways and highways in the disaster areas were fully restored; The production capacity of Aba Aluminum Plant has doubled, and the new plant area of Dongqi has been completed and put into production. The spirit of self-reliance, self-help, firmness and tenacity has been integrated into the land of Sichuan, and the splendid Bashu has once again presented great vitality.


  Post-disaster reconstruction is to stand up in situ, but also to develop and take off, draw the most beautiful blueprint on white paper and build the most beautiful home on the ruins. We are working hard to basically complete the three-year reconstruction task in two years, so that the earthquake-stricken areas can have houses at home, schools, hospitals for treatment, towns with functions, water and electricity facilities, and roads, so that the people in the disaster areas can lead a happier and better life.


  The first anniversary of "5.12" is a day of mourning, a day of strong rise, and a day of opening the future. Through the disaster, we are more determined and tenacious; After the disaster, we are more confident and self-reliant. Let’s bid farewell to sadness, take responsibility together, meet challenges and create a brand-new future.


  The dead are gone, and the living are strong. The anniversary, to review. (The author Liu Qibao is the secretary of the Sichuan Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China)
