Like the city of Hong Kong, Hong Kong pop music (hereinafter referred to as "Hong Kong music") is a mixture of styles and variability, both traditional and modern, both unique and inclusive. Hong Kong Lerun has silently participated in the daily life of several generations, becoming an accompaniment and footnote to the life stories of many ordinary individuals. The vitality it presents is inseparable from the special grammar of the lyrics and the unique composition method.
Most Hong Kong pop culture researchers agree that the 1970s was the age of enlightenment for Hong Kong music and an important period when Hong Kong music began to establish its style. Because before this, Hong Kong society did not accept Cantonese pop songs, and English songs were the protagonists of Hong Kong pop music at that time.
In the 1980s and 1990s, Hong Kong's economy took off, becoming the most developed international metropolis in Asia and one of the famous "Four Asian Tigers". Hong Kong Music also ushered in the golden age of "fairy fighting". Suddenly, thousands of stars shone on the Xiangjiang River, and the influence of Hong Kong Le reached its peak. Not only has it become the youth memory of generations in the mainland, but even any place in the world where Chinese people live can hear the melody of Hong Kong music.
Jacky Cheung, Andy Lau, Li Ming and Aaron Kwok set off a boom in Hong Kong music in the 1990s, which gradually receded with the arrival of the Asian financial crisis (1997). After 2000, although a new generation of singers such as Eason Chan, Miriam Yeung, Joey Yung and TWINS also had good performances, it has always been difficult to reproduce the glory of the golden age of Hong Kong music.
Representatives of Hong Kong Music's outstanding lyricists include Huang Xia, Lu Guozhan, Zheng Guojiang, Chen Shaoqi, Xiang Xuehuai, Lin Ruoning, etc., whose works have family and country feelings, jianghu tenderness, and a detailed analysis of real life. On the one hand, it pays attention to the rhythm, emphasizes the integration of the overall mode and melody, on the other hand, it also emphasizes the text, in the limited length of space, the Hong Kong music lyrics usually pay attention to a kind of ideographic transparency, must be in a limited one or two hundred words to accurately express true feelings, the precision of the Hong Kong music lyrics, and the Cantonese in the creation of the "leaning on the sound of the word" way is closely related.
In addition to filling in the words, the tune of Hong Kong music also shows different appearances at different time nodes, which can be a popular K song that sweeps the chart, or a personality melody that imprints the unique temperament of the author; It can be a heroic style of opening and closing, and it can also be a gentle and timeless folk minor key.
With the development of the times, the definition of Hong Kong music is also constantly being supplemented, enriched and expanded, and it will definitely settle on the integration with mainland culture in the future. Huang once wrote that singing in cantonese dialects gave Hong Kong music personality and characteristics, but also severely limited the development of Hong Kong music. "All indications are that Hong Kong pop music can only improve again if it can re-enter the Chinese Mandarin market."
Where will the brothers of the soldiers who defend their families and defend the country go after retiring? What benefits will veterans enjoy with a privilege card? When will the remains of the ninth batch of martyrs of the Korean Chinese Volunteer Army return home? On August 26, the Central Propaganda Department held a series of press conferences on the theme of "China's Decade", and these questions were answered.
In the more than four years since the establishment of the Ministry of Veterans Affairs, more than 1.85 million veterans have been newly resettled, and the proportion of demobilized military officers placed in party and government organs and public units has exceeded 80%, helping 2.26 million veterans to achieve employment. Primary and secondary school teachers, police, auxiliary police, etc. have become the key industries for the employment of retired soldiers, of which emergency and fire protection recruit 3,000 or 4,000 retired soldiers every year, and more than 3,000 shipping seafarers.
Yu Jingsen, director of the Department of Employment and Entrepreneurship of the Ministry of Veterans Affairs, introduced that more than 1 million retired soldiers who graduated from high school are exempted from cultural quality classes and enter full-time colleges, and 180,000 return to school and 20,000 graduate students. Tuition fees are waived for undergraduate, professional and graduate students, and the state bursaries for college students cover full-time veterans and college students. In addition, veterans have been encouraged to participate in vocational skills upgrading actions, and a total of 820,000 people have been trained.
In December last year, the Ministry of Veterans Affairs officially launched the application for preferential treatment certificates. Cao Jun, director of the Department of Military Support and Preferential Care of the Ministry of Veterans Affairs, said that the preferential treatment card is not only a spiritual praise and honor incentive, but also has a real "gold content". At present, the opinions on strengthening preferential treatment issued at the national level have clarified nearly 100 preferential services in 8 aspects that preferential card holders can enjoy. In light of the local level of economic and social development, various localities have also launched a catalogue list of preferential treatment for licensees.
The ninth batch of burial activities for the burial of the remains of the martyrs of the Korean Chinese Volunteer Army is scheduled to be implemented from September 14 to 17, 2022. From 2014 to 2021, the remains of 825 volunteer martyrs in South Korea have returned home.
Li Jingxian, head of the Department of Commendation and Memorialization of the Ministry of Veterans Affairs, introduced that relatives have been found for more than 2,700 martyrs. The 8 batches of 825 martyrs who were welcomed back have completed the extraction and identification of DNA materials for the remains. At the same time, combined with the martyrs' relics, military combat history and the excavation information of the remains of the volunteer martyrs, the list of relatives of some suspected martyrs was sorted out, and a total of 10 returned martyrs were identified and their relatives were found, so that the martyrs went from nameless to famous, from returning home to returning home.
Li Jingxian said that a new batch of DNA information collection and identification work for the families of martyrs has been launched. The next step will be to compare with the DNA information of the remains of the martyrs, and the relevant work is actively and steadily advancing. Read the full >>>
Recently, Ruzhou City, Pingdingshan City, Henan Province, drained hundreds of thousands of cubic meters of lake water to round up "strange fish in the water" caused concern. At present, the local water has been pumped for a month, and the relevant live broadcast screen shows more than 30 million netizens watching online. What is the origin of this "strange fish"? Why is it so much trouble?
After the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, "energy" has become an important topic of concern for European countries. This is not recent, Germany signed a hydrogen energy project with Canada, and said that Canada will start exporting hydrogen energy to Germany in 2025. But at the same time, the doubts surrounding the "hydrogen alliance" also sounded for the first time, and the supply of hydrogen from Canada to Germany is also unknown.
Before the Canadian and German prime ministers made the "hydrogen alliance" into the "headlines", both Germany, Canada, the United States and the European Union thought that Scholz had made a special trip to Canada, which is known for its energy, to talk about importing liquefied natural gas (LNG) to fill the gap in Russian pipeline natural gas.
However, when the contents of the agreement signed by the two prime ministers were announced, it was obvious that the outside world was "a little incomprehensible". Because compared to LNG with stable capacity, Canada's hydrogen energy development is actually a "simple future": the biggest "flaw" in the "Hydrogen Alliance" agreement is that it does not indicate the supply of hydrogen from Canada to Germany in 2025 – because Canada itself is completely unaware.
Canada has not yet achieved a mature "green" electrolytic hydrogen industrialization, and the World Energy GH2 Stephenville plant, which plans to supply hydrogen to Germany, has not yet broken ground. It is understood that the project did not actually apply for approval until the spring of 2021, and has not yet passed the environmental impact assessments of Newfoundland and Labrador.
In addition, a number of critics pointed out that leaving aside the use of hydrogen energy that has not yet been approved to replace the real emergency natural gas is like "drawing a big pie out of thin air", electrolytic hydrogen is not really "green" under the existing technical conditions. Under the controversy, there was a dramatic scene on the issue of the "Hydrogen Alliance": in recent days, Protests against the landing of the "Hydrogen Energy" project in Newfoundland and Labrador have erupted continuously.
Under strong pressure, Canadian Prime Ministers Trudeau and Frey (governors of Newfoundland and Labrador) also had to keep a low profile. Of course, such an explanation clearly does not reassure the protesters. As for the future direction of the "hydrogen alliance", this may also be a glimpse. Read the full >>>
