"Writing the Times with Truth" | Film "Not an Island" Seminar


Special feature of 1905 film network The documentary film "Writing in Real Time" faithfully records that at the end of February, 2022, on a deserted island bordering Hong Kong and Shenzhen, nearly 20,000 builders quickly put themselves into the project construction, fought bravely day and night, and completed a huge project that usually takes two years in just 51 days, showing the temperature in China and the speed in China, and reflecting the dribs and drabs of mutual help between the mainland and Hong Kong.

Since its release on May 26, 2023, the documentary film "Not an Island" has touched countless audiences, and so far it has won the third place in the mainland box office in 2023.


On the afternoon of July 5th, a seminar on documentary film "Not an Island" was held on the film channel, which was presided over by Professor Li Daoxin of Peking University. Professor Yin Hong from Tsinghua University, President of Contemporary Film Magazine Huang Yichuan, President of China Film Criticism Society Rao Shuguang, Director of Research Department of Publicity Department of the Communist Party of China Film Channel Program Center Wang Guowei, Researcher of China Film Art Research Center Li Zhen, Deputy Director of China Federation of Literary and Art Circles Tan Zheng, Deputy Director of China Youth Daily Cultural Center Guo Shaoming, Professor Suo Yabin from China Communication University, Associate Professor Hong Fan from Beijing Film Academy, Curator Sha Dan from China Film Art Research Center, and screenwriter Not an Island.


In February, 2022, the epidemic situation in Hong Kong was extremely severe, and the SAR government submitted a special application to the central government to build an emergency hospital. The General Secretary of the Supreme Leader has given the important instructions of "three things and two guarantees" on the epidemic situation in Hong Kong, namely, to take controlling the epidemic situation as soon as possible as the overriding task at present, mobilize all forces and resources that can be mobilized, and take all necessary measures to ensure the life safety and health of Hong Kong citizens and ensure the overall social stability in Hong Kong. After receiving the order, each participant has no distractions, relying on Chinese’s strong sense of faith. It is the historical mission and responsibility of the nation to make the island not lonely. Therefore, it is of great significance to record the creation of the film Not an Island. If we say that the live broadcast of "Rising Moon in the Bay Area" 2023 Greater Bay Area Film and Music Gala uses songs as the media to build a bridge between Greater Bay Area, then the documentary film "No Island" uses the truth as the medium to make the best visualization of the three common feelings, common memories and common consciousness.


Yin Hongyou, a professor in Tsinghua University, pays attention to the group images in documentary films. Recording the performance of the characters in the movie "Not an Island" starts from some ordinary things. These characters are working hard for a miraculous public event in different ways. At the same time of work, the film focuses on their family relationships, food, clothing, housing and transportation, and work distress. These touching details build a shocking image of anonymous people who can stand up on the big screen and live in a miracle without knowing it. Yin Hong commented: "This is a force that will never reappear in the later stage even if an actor is invited to play a real person to shoot a movie." "Not an Island", a film-based record of Chinese and China’s spirit, is of great value to children and grandchildren. "



Huangfu Yichuan, president of Contemporary Film magazine, was also moved by the documentary film Not an Island. Huangfu Yichuan pointed out that "Not an Island" can not only reflect the inner strength of ordinary people in China, but also reflect the epitome of China’s social culture, and proposed to collect all the video materials of "Not an Island".



The documentary film "Not an Island" focuses on the true story, which has certain historical document value. Rao Shuguang, president of the China Film Critics Association, compared "Not an Island" to a national photo album and a people’s photo album, and thought: "Not an Island records the major events in the country and leaves precious video historical materials for future generations, which is its special significance and value in the film history."

Wang Guowei, director of the research department of Publicity Department of the Communist Party of China Film Channel Program Center, thinks that the documentary film "Not an Island" has three great values. First of all, the historical value, the precious images of the times carefully captured by the film are of great historical value; Secondly, it is artistic value. The creative thinking of the film, starting from small characters, small events and small moves, reflecting great feelings is worthy of recognition. Finally, there is the value of publicity. Not an Island explores a way to express the close relationship between the motherland and Hong Kong through documentary films, and effectively proves that this move is an effective carrier for publicity to Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan.

Lok Ma Chau in "Not an Island" is full of people and machines roaring for 24 hours. Living quarters, office areas, shelter areas, isolation areas, treatment areas, etc. are quickly built, and it takes less than two months to complete the hospital construction task that takes two years to complete. Among them, the spirit of staying up all night and going all out demonstrated by all the construction personnel is similar to that in China’s mythology, that is, Yugong moved mountains, Jingwei reclaimed the sea, praised his father day by day, and Houyi shot at the sun. From this perspective, Li Zhen, a researcher at the China Film Art Research Center, regards the documentary film "Not Isolated Island" as a "Contemporary Classic of Mountains and Seas", and thinks: "Today, there are not isolated islands, which record the history of the nation and copy its spirit, and this spirit will be copied from generation to generation."



In terms of publicity value, Tan Zheng, deputy director of the Film Art Center of the China Federation of Literary and Art Circles, pointed out: "In the history of Hong Kong films, there is a great vacancy in documentary films, especially in the documentary era." In Tan Zheng’s view, the documentary film "Not an Island" shows the friendship between the mainland and Hong Kong, calling for a good memory, and it is also a distinct carrier of the concept of the Chinese nation community. More importantly, the documentary film "Not an Island" does not tell stories according to the narrative needs of traditional mainstream media propaganda films, but presents a sense of responsibility with the help of big screens, new media and details of various characters, especially in line with the communication needs of Hong Kong at this moment.



Suo Yabin, a professor at Communication University of China, also paid attention to the group image expression in the documentary film "Not an Island" and highly praised the film: "Not an Island" is not sensational or embarrassing, and its style is restrained and restrained, completing an event, a simple and complete outline of a puzzle. It is too difficult for the main melody works to do this, and too many works cannot achieve such a presentation. "



Guo Shaoming, deputy director of the Cultural Center of China Youth Daily, is very concerned about the emotional details hidden in the documentary film Not an Island. The physical space and psychological space constructed by the documentary film "Not an Island" complement each other. Through the trivial daily life and conversations of the builders, such as eating lunch, hanging clothes and chatting, as well as the detailed design of hidden emotions such as the countdown of the date on the billboard, the deep warmth and the faint sadness of homesickness are expressed.



Hong Fan, an associate professor at Beijing Film Academy, believes that the film not only links the mainland and Hong Kong, but also transcends the sense of isolation and interpersonal communication in modern society, and forms the emotional resonance of modern people in both cities and towns.


Shadan, curator of China Film Art Research Center, pointed out that the documentary film "No Island" is a work that enriches the whole historical process of social culture between the mainland and Hong Kong with images. He said: "If there is an opportunity to combine the drama" Banquet of the Giants "filmed to show the unity of the Chinese people after the flood in East China in 1991, the documentary" Dongjiang Water Coming Over the Mountain "filmed for the construction of Dongjiang water supply project in the 1960s, and this film" Not an Island "filmed for the central government’s assistance to Hong Kong, I believe it will be very valuable to show films related to the relationship between Hong Kong and the mainland."



At the end of the speech at the conference, Cao Jinling, the screenwriter and director of the documentary film Not an Island, reviewed the film production process and creative concept. Cao Jinling said that it is her pursuit of film to be deeply immersed in realism and present poetry in images. In the selection and creation of characters, Cao Jinling tries her best to explore emotions, always believing that the universal emotions of characters can touch the audience. I am not very grateful for the affirmation of scholars. Referring to the creation of documentary films, Cao Jinling bluntly said: "The material is real, and the creator’s subjective intentions and emotions are empty, that is, my subjectivity, my worldview, my humanity and my personality. I am grateful that this reality can be evaluated as introverted and temperate. " Not only that, Cao Jinling always listens and speaks with a learning attitude. "I will work harder and hope to do better." — — This is her eternal creative enthusiasm.



Flocks of geese cross the south, join forces to gather, and love connects islands into continents.


On the first day of this documentary film full of little people’s feelings, Hong Kong filmmakers such as,,,, Gillian and Asa made a reservation in succession. Musicians and Joey Yung jointly sang the promotion song "We Should Not Be Alone" of "Not an Island", which filled in a footnote for the film that "the Chinese nation is not alone, but must have neighbors" for thousands of years.


The film "Not an Island" records the speed and miracle of China’s construction, the record of overcoming difficulties and working together, and the record of saving one’s life and keeping one’s heart warm. In the film, we can see that the barbed wire buckle that separates Hong Kong from Shenzhen is melted by electric welding; The cordial greetings from the Hong Kong border commander to the construction workers during the inspection.

With nearly 20 thousand builders, Lok Ma Chau is not an island; With a strong motherland, Hong Kong is not an island; With China’s great contribution to the world’s anti-epidemic, countries around the world are no longer isolated islands under the epidemic.


The 2-year-old girl was suspected of being poisoned by her relatives at the wedding banquet. Attending doctor: The recovery progress may be calculated on an annual basis.

Cctv news(Reporter Xu Yeqing and Dou Ruihua): On December 9, 2021, Xiaoman (a pseudonym), a 2-and-a-half-year-old girl from Liaocheng, Shandong Province, attended the wedding banquet in the village with her uncle, but she was suspected of being poisoned by her uncle. "I never imagined that he had poisoned the child on such a day." Xiaoman’s father said.

be poisoned

Xiaoman’s father told CCTV reporters that on the day of the wedding banquet, a 70-year-old man gave Xiaoman a candy. Shortly after Xiaoman ate, she developed symptoms of physical discomfort, and then the uncle took her home. After returning home, Xiaoman began to have symptoms such as convulsions and blue face, and then his family called 120 for medical treatment.

"We took a blood sample to Jinan for testing, and the results showed that the blood contained a lot ofTetramineComponents, the concentration reached 876ng/ml, the doctor said that this belongs to moderate and severe poisoning, and the situation is more critical. "Xiaoman’s father thinks that the child is only over two years old and it is impossible to find this kind of thing by himself. "We called the police when we didn’t feel normal."

report to the police

After the alarm, the police accepted it, and Xiaoman’s father also got a notice of filing a case. He said that according to the police’s surveillance, an old man’s whereabouts were suspicious. After confirmation, the suspect was his own uncle, that is, Xiaoman’s uncle.

Receipt of acceptance of the case and notice of filing the case (provided by the respondent)

"It was characterized as intentional homicide. Now the suspect has been under the control of the police and has been detained. His family has also been seized." But Xiaoman’s father couldn’t figure out why people with relatives did this to his daughter.

Xiaoman’s father recalled that some time ago, because there was a water pipe installation project in the village that had to pass by the suspect’s door, he did not agree and unreasonably obstructed it. Then the child’s grandmother quarreled with the suspect. "In fact, it’s nothing more than a trivial matter. It doesn’t matter if you quarrel a few words. If adults have any problems, they can solve them face to face, but they can’t. We can go through legal procedures. But you have to attack a two-year-old child for no reason. This kind of thing is really unacceptable to us. "

It is understood that at present, the suspect has a negative attitude and has not actively contacted Xiaoman’s family. "In order to save the child, we should have spent almost 150,000 or 60,000, and he (the suspect) has never paid a penny." Xiaoman’s father said that this undoubtedly caused heavy losses to his family.

treat

Subsequently, the CCTV reporter got in touch with the attending doctor of Xiaoman’s current hospital. "I’m still in a coma, but my consciousness is better than before." Director Zhou of the Department of Rehabilitation Medicine of Shandong Provincial Hospital said that Xiaoman was transferred to the hospital only after New Year’s Day. At present, he is unconscious, his motor function of limbs has basically lost, and his swallowing function and speech function have not recovered yet.

Xiaoman is receiving treatment (provided by the interviewee)

"Even young people who eat a small dose of tetramine by mistake will cause great damage. Because the younger you are, the worse your tolerance to this drug will be, and the more serious the disease damage will be. " Director Zhou said that the follow-up treatment should first carry out wake-up treatment so that patients can wake up as soon as possible. "After waking up, restore her other functions, including speech and body movements."

Director Zhou suggested that if you eat drugs similar to tetramine by mistake, you should have gastric lavage at the first time, and then treat it symptomatically according to the specific condition, and then give the patient hyperbaric oxygen treatment, because tetramine mainly causes brain damage and causes ischemia and hypoxia in the brain. "So hyperbaric oxygen treatment is generally carried out to see if the brain function can be restored as much as possible."

recover

Xiaoman’s father said that when he first came to the provincial hospital for rehabilitation, Xiaoman’s hands and eyes could not move. Now his eyes can be opened gradually and his hands and feet can move. "The voice of crying was very small at first, and now the voice of crying is relatively loud."

Director Zhou said that although there is some progress in Xiaoman’s treatment, the progress of recovery is uncertain. "It may be a year, maybe a year, three years, five years or even longer."

Super typhoon level, how strong is it?

Original Fengyun Mengyuan Guoke

Recently, the typhoon Xuanlannuo, which came from the depths of the sea, trudged to the offshore area of China, and its strong intensity and changeable path attracted a lot of attention.

The Central Meteorological Observatory issued a typhoon blue warning for Xuanlannuo, and many places also launched emergency response against Taiwan.

As the first super typhoon this year, "Xuanlannuo" was so powerful that it even swallowed another "typhoon embryo" on the way.

Xuanlannuo swallowed the tropical depression below @ Central Meteorological Observatory/Weibo.

It may just be the moment when the vast Yun Qi wind falls, and it goes north alone during the abrupt change of circulation in summer and autumn, carrying the endless long summer behind it, and creating a thousand autumn winds in front of it.

This paper will briefly explain the current and future influence of "Xuanlannuo".

Too long to read the version

"Xuanlannuo" belongs to the stronger level in the super typhoon level;

This year’s typhoon came not too late, but so far the number is small;

There is a high probability that Xuanlannuo will not land in China, but it will have an impact on coastal areas, especially in the eastern coastal areas of Zhejiang Province.

Super typhoon level, how strong is it?

"Xuanlannuo" was generated on the afternoon of August 28th, upgraded to super typhoon in the early morning of the 30th, and weakened from super typhoon level to strong typhoon level at 5 o’clock on the 2nd. According to the latest forecast, it moved into the East China Sea on the 3rd, and its intensity will be enhanced to super typhoon level again.

According to China’s typhoon classification method, the super typhoon level is the highest level. "Xuanlannuo" even belongs to the stronger level in the super typhoon level.

The classification of typhoon in China is based on the maximum wind speed near the typhoon center (specifically, the 2-minute average continuous maximum wind speed). When the maximum wind speed near the center exceeds 51m/s (equivalent to 16 or above), it is the highest level of super typhoon level.

At 14: 00 on September 1, the maximum wind speed near the center of Xuanlannuo reached 65 m/s, which exceeded the upper limit of the extended Beaufort scale of 17, which was a strong level in the super typhoon scale. As can be seen from the following figure, although there are about six typhoons reaching the super typhoon level every year in the northwest Pacific, there are only one or two typhoons reaching the current intensity of Xuanlannuo on average every year, which is also the strongest typhoon in the northwest Pacific so far this year.

Typhoon intensity classification table in China and typhoon classification in 1949-2019, Central Meteorological Observatory

This year’s typhoon

Are you really late?

The first typhoon that landed in China this year was Typhoon Siam, which landed in Maoming on July 2, and it was not obviously late. However, the number of typhoons generated and landed in China this year is obviously less, and the landing sites are concentrated in the western part of Guangdong and Hainan, which has no obvious impact on the eastern and northern coasts of Guangdong, and further aggravates the impression that "typhoons come late".

So far this year, there have been 11 typhoons in the northwest Pacific, compared with an average of 14.1 from 1951 to 2010. There are three typhoons (tropical storms or stronger) landing in China, compared with about 4-5 in the same period from 1949 to 2019. It can be seen that the total number and level of typhoons are less.

The reason is the same as the biggest driver of the high temperature heat wave in the early summer in southern China, which is a significantly strong subtropical high.

As a system prevailing in a large area of downward flow, subtropical high not only caused a large range of blazing sunny and hot temperatures on land, but also shrouded the blue waves in the northwest Pacific Ocean. Under its control, it is difficult to have large-scale updraft and convective cloud activities in tropical waters, so it is difficult to have significant and sustained latent heat release of water vapor condensation and the development of near-surface low pressure, which seriously hinders the development mechanism of typhoons.

The geopotential height (isoline, unit gpm) in the middle troposphere (500hPa) and the anomaly value (color filling, unit gpm) from August 1 to 20. The red line 5880 surrounds the subtropical high range, and the accompanying positive anomaly represents the strong subtropical high.

Why is the subtropical high so strong this year? There are many specific reasons, but the most important one is related to the abnormal development of La Nina in spring and summer this year. Most La Nina events in history developed in the northern hemisphere in summer and autumn in the first year, peaked in winter, and then gradually declined in the spring of the second year. However, after the development of La Nina last autumn, it did not decay this spring, but further strengthened slightly, and reached its peak in May-June.

Monthly sea surface temperature anomalies in the monitoring area reflecting El Ni? o/La Ni? a events. It can be seen that the negative anomaly is still increasing this spring, which represents the abnormal development of La Nina event. What about the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration?

In general, the SST in the tropical Pacific is warm in the west and cold in the east. When La Ni? a event intensifies, the SST in the equatorial Middle East Pacific becomes lower, which causes the upper atmosphere to cool, contract and sink to form the ground high pressure. This enhanced pressure gradient in the east-west direction leads to the obvious enhancement of the trade winds crossing the tropical Pacific to the west. Strong trade winds induce an abnormal anticyclone to form on its north side, which is superimposed with the subtropical high, which is also an anticyclone in the middle and lower troposphere, so that the subtropical high is significantly enhanced.

Same as above, but it is the anomaly of sea surface temperature (coloring) and wind field in the lower troposphere (850hPA). It can be seen that the equatorial Pacific trade wind is obviously stronger (along the black arrow) and the subtropical high is stronger (marked by the blue circle).

"Xuan Lan Nuo" wants great bend?

Where is the typhoon going?

Judging from the current forecast, "Xuanlannuo" presents a V-shaped position. The sharp change of typhoon track is related to the sharp change of subtropical high intensity and other tropical cyclones around it. To answer this question more specifically, we must first understand some basic attributes of typhoons.

Typhoon is essentially a deep cyclone that develops in tropical and subtropical sea areas. In the weather system, some weather systems wider than it will provide airflow to guide it to move, which is the main driving force of typhoon movement. The subtropical high, which has the largest overlap with the typhoon activity area, has become the most important system.

Year after year, the subtropical high moves obviously with the seasonal changes, following the sun to the north in spring and summer, and returning to the south in autumn and winter to avoid the cold wind. Therefore, typhoons generally follow this rule-the path is southward in winter and spring, which may affect the Philippines, Vietnam and other places; The north in summer and autumn affects China, Japan, South Korea and other places.

Because the position and intensity of subtropical high also change obviously in the short term, the specific typhoon path will be different. In addition, there are other factors that affect the typhoon path, one of which is the mutual rotation effect when two typhoons coexist and are close together. At this time, two typhoons will move around their center of mass, and the smaller typhoon will be more affected.

An example of mutual rotation effect between Typhoon Sang Mei and Typhoon Baoxia in 2000. What wikimommons

The sharp turn of the current "Xuanlannuo" path is the result of the rapid change of subtropical high intensity and the mutual rotation effect. Previously, the subtropical high was strong, just like a wall across the north side of Xuanlannuo, which also provided a strong steering flow to the west, allowing the typhoon to move rapidly to the southwest and west. At present, the subtropical high is significantly weakened by the influence of the westerly trough system on the north side, and just "disconnected" into two single systems on the north side of Xuanlannuo, in which the steering flow provided by the east unit is northward, while the west unit is southward. Two kinds of steering flow saws make the typhoon obviously slow down and stay, just like being stuck in a quagmire.

500hPa weather map at 8: 00 Beijing time on September 1st. It can be seen that with the influence of the westerly trough (black circle) on the north side, the subtropical high is about to break into the west side monomer (red circle) and the east side monomer (blue circle), which makes Xuanlannuo (green circle) suddenly confused.

While wandering, a new tropical depression formed beside the southeast side of Xuanlannuo. Due to the great strength gap between the two sides, this tropical depression has been swallowed up by Xuanlannuo, but its residual cloud system still has obvious mutual rotation effect with Xuanlannuo, which provides Xuanlannuo with a steering flow that goes east first and then north. With the further weakening of the west subtropical high monomer in the next day or two, "Xuanlannuo" will eventually move to the north under the joint action of the east subtropical high monomer and the mutual rotation effect, and enter the East China Sea. Because the specific intensity of subtropical high and the degree of mutual rotation effect caused by tropical low residual circulation still have variability, it is still possible to adjust the path of Xuanlannuo in the future.

How will the typhoon affect our country?

To sum up, although there are still a few variables, there is a high probability that "Xuanlannuo" will not land in China, but will go north in the eastern coastal areas of China and eventually tend to the southern coastal areas of South Korea. And in the process of going northward, China’s coastal area is located in the relative "safety semicircle" on its west side, and the wind and rain intensity will be relatively small, and the overall impact on land will not be serious.

The superposition relationship between typhoon’s dangerous semicircle/safe semicircle and its own wind speed and moving speed. The author’s soul hand-painted

Even so, due to the significant expansion of the circulation scale of Xuanlannuo after the annexation of tropical depression, and the relatively slow weakening in the northward process, the strong typhoon will still be maintained to the super typhoon level, so the coastal areas such as eastern Taiwan Province, northeastern Fujian, Zhejiang coastal areas and Shanghai still need to pay attention to prevent the impact of wind and rain, among which Zhoushan Islands will be the most significantly affected; The offshore waters will be directly affected by typhoons and there will be violent storms. Offshore operators must return to Hong Kong to take shelter from the wind according to the early warning information.

I hope all the people affected by "Xuanlannuo" will be safe!

South Korea’s opposition parties and civic groups held a large-scale rally to protest against Fukushima’s nuclear pollution discharge into the sea.

  Xinhua News Agency, Seoul, August 26th (Reporter Lu Rui, Zhou Siyu) A number of opposition parties and civic groups, including the Common Democratic Party, the largest opposition party in South Korea, held a large-scale rally in the center of Seoul on the afternoon of 26th, strongly urging the Japanese government to cancel the decision to discharge Fukushima nuclear polluted water into the sea, and demanding that Yin Xiyue’s government take measures to prevent Fukushima nuclear polluted water from discharging into the sea.

  Thousands of South Koreans attended the rally, holding high slogans such as "Removing Fukushima nuclear polluted water from the sea" and "condemning Yin Xiyue’s regime", and shouting slogans such as "Japan should keep nuclear polluted water in its own country" and "condemning Yin Xiyue’s government, which speaks for Japan".

  Li Zaiming, the leader of the Common Democratic Party, said in a speech at the rally: "Japan has crossed an insurmountable boundary, which is a provocation to mankind and a declaration of war against countries along the Pacific Ocean." "In the past, Japan used to invade and kill with knives and guns for its own interests, and now it is trying to commit crimes that damage the environment in the Pacific again."

  Li Zaiming demanded that the Japanese government immediately stop discharging nuclear polluted water into the sea, which is harmful to the health and safety of all mankind, and apologized to South Korea for discharging nuclear polluted water into the sea. He also urged Yin Xiyue’s government not to be the "spokesman" of Japan, to fully perform its duty of protecting national life and safety, and to prevent Japan’s immoral nuclear pollution from discharging water into the sea.

  Kim Yong-fu, vice president of the National Federation of Fishermen’s Associations of Korea, said that the government should immediately take measures to completely ban the import of Japanese aquatic products so that Korean nationals can safely eat Korean aquatic products.

  On the evening of the same day, a "Busan Citizens’ Meeting to Prevent Fukushima Nuclear Contaminated Water from Discharging into the Sea" was held in front of Busan Railway Station Square in South Korea. Hundreds of Busan citizens attended the rally and asked Yin Xiyue’s government to take measures to prevent Japan from discharging nuclear contaminated water into the sea.
