The writer of this article is @ A Dai of Xiaowan family.

　　The ugly idolize dog is here.

　　Remember the "Do Min Joon" from the stars seven years ago?

　　He’s back with his ABS!

　　Therefore, the new drama was reported as "too large", Xiaowan:? ? ?

　　Speaking of it, as a rare "three-good student" with good acting skills and high popularity, the degree to which Kim Soo Hyun cherishes feathers is staggering.

　　After "You from the Stars" spread all over Asia, the only works he starred in in six years wereA play "The Producer"andA movie "Real".

　　After retiring from the army in July 2019, he was also cautious in the choice of comeback works, and finally took over this "Although it is mental illness, it doesn’t matter" from the beginning of the title of the play.

　　The new drama started on June 20th. After finishing six episodes, Xiaowan couldn’t help but sigh: This brother is so good at choosing scripts!

　　It doesn’t matter though it’s mental illness.

　　The play is produced by Netflix and TvN, and directed by Shin-woo Park who has worked with Cho Jung Seok (Jealousy Avatar) and Park Bo Gum (Boyfriend).

　　But unlike such sweet romantic dramas as Jealousy Avatar and Boyfriend, It doesn’t matter though it’s mental illness.Dark fairy tale love drama.

　　The leading actor, Wen Gangtai (Kim Soo Hyun), is a psychiatric nurse practitioner who has been dealing with various mental patients for ten years.

　　And this is not his biggest burden: Wen Gang’s parents died when he was too young, and he lived alone with his autistic brother.Taking care of his brother is his "reason to live".

　　Gentle and restrained, coupled with rough life experience, the "angel-like" Wengangtai always gains the pity and care of the people around him, and his life can be regarded as bitter but warm.

　　The heroine, Gao Wenying (Seo Yea Ji), is completely the opposite of Mrs. Wen Gang: she is a popular fairy tale writer, rich and popular, and everywhere she goes, she is full of stars.

　　But because of suffering fromAntisocial personality disorderCoupled with the shadow left by his father’s violence and his mother’s suicide when he was a child, Gao Wenying developed a defiant, arrogant and reckless style.A "witch" who pursues extreme egoism to the end.

　　Angels and witches meet unexpectedly, so it’s meant to be, right?

　　No, it doesn’t matter if it’s mental illness.Two disabled people heal each other.The story.

　　Pay attention to personality defect groupsThe setting of+the highly anticipated Cass, this drama was not unexpectedly one of the ratings in the same period on the opening day.

　　On the day of the premiere, the female host’s exquisite makeup and high-cold gas field were eye-catching, and the male host also brushed a wave of heat through the abdominal muscles.

　　However, with the deepening of the plot, the characters of Wen Gang Tai and Gao Wenying and the long story formed by this character have become a greater motivation for the audience to follow the drama.

　　Gao Wenying’s "abnormality" can be seen at a glance.Anti-social personality disorder makes her unable to communicate with people normally, arrogant and rude, and her language is vulgar.

　　At the beginning of the series, she directly explained her experience with a Gothic animation: she was imprisoned as a monster since she was a child, with no friends and no freedom.

　　And her fairy tales are alsoDark fairy tale style with cruel words and bloody illustrationsAlthough it is very popular, it is often on the verge of "no sale".

　　After getting to know Mrs. Wen Gang, a nurse, Mrs. Wen Gang will often comfort her emotions and help her calm down in a professional way when she is rude and violent.

　　Because of the relationship between the patient and nurse practitioner, the audience will initially think that the "mental illness" in the title refers to the heroine Gao Wenying.

　　But as a "patient", Gao Wenying has her own way of relieving:Every work of hers tells her own story.

　　Speaking of the dark past and accepting it, Gao Wenying has taken the first step of "healing".

　　In addition to the autistic brother who is receiving treatment and the anti-social personality woman who is self-resolving, Kim Soo Hyun playsWengangtai is the "patient" who hides the deepest.

　　Because my brother is autistic, Mrs. Wen Gang was asked to take care of and protect her brother from an early age.

　　Mother will even look Wen Gangtai directly in the eyes and tell him:I wanted someone to take care of my brother, so I gave birth to you.

　　Wen Gang, who was born because he was useful, was taught to live for his brother since he was a child, and only his brother’s mother let him.Accustomed to suppressing one’s emotions and desires..

　　For more than ten years, I have been circling around my brother, which has made him a typical paying and even flattering personality.

　　After his mother died unexpectedly, Mrs. Wen Gangtai was left with her brother, who could not perceive emotions. He tried to teach him to judge others’ emotions through expressions: what is happiness, what is anger, what is disappointment …

　　Because my brother learned to read and read, over time, Mrs. Wengang would habitually smile as long as she faced her brother. He said, "It’s not hard to smile at people anyway.”。

　　Having lived with my brother for a long time, and having a professional nurse practitioner qualification certificate, such Wen Gang seems to be very good at dealing with people with mental/mental state deficiency.

　　But in fact, from childhood, he failed to learn to talk to himself and how to express himself correctly.

　　Wen Gangtai is also a "patient". He doesn’t know how to love himself.

　　As his friend Jae-soo said: You laugh like a clown.

　　One sentence tells the real life and psychological state of Wengang.

　　On the surface, one of them is an angel and the other is a witch.

　　In the previous episodes, the painting styles of Wen Gang Tai and Gao Wenying in the play are also two extremes:

　　The man lives in poverty and his brother is ill, but the company of his brother and friends fills his side with a dull and warm atmosphere;

　　The scene in which the heroine appeared alone turned into a horror suspense film in seconds, with arrogance during the day and nightmares at night, which was completely miserable.

　　But just like BGM’s lyrics, "You breathe in my body and pour out your thoughts; I lost everything and breathed in your shadow. "

　　The spiritual world of Wen Gang Tai and Gao Wenying is actually two sides of the same coin set in "Although it is mental illness, it doesn’t matter".

　　They represent the two extremes of human inner feelings, and they are all eager for the other side of themselves, so they will attract each other and get closer and closer.

　　So this drama is actually aboutAngels and witches attract each other, heal each other, and finally become human beings.The process.

　　This process is actually quite cruel.It is extremely difficult to admit that you are missing and need to be cured.That’s why society is afraid to avoid "mental hospitals" and "mental patients".

　　Therefore, the whole drama "It doesn’t matter although it’s mental illness" is trying toCreate a "divorced from reality" atmosphere.

　　The world in the eyes of autistic brothers is a world that will interact with themselves like cartoons.The model in the window will wave, the clouds on the mural will glow, and everything in the world will change rapidly with his mood;

　　The lights in the mental hospital are always flickering, and the patients’ various auditory hallucinations are shaped into a horror film atmosphere;

　　Gao Wenying’s castle is like a fairy tale with dark style. The witch and princess live in the world at the end of the forest …

　　This aspect is presenting what we often say.Psychopaths’ own world",give the audience a direct impact.

　　On the other hand, these seemingly incompatible environments are actually revealing the final direction of the play:

　　All this is true. There are always people who live like this.

　　As for how to peel off the layers of fog and disguise to see the truth, "Although it’s mental illness, it doesn’t matter" also gives the answer:

　　There are a lot of close-ups of faces and even partial close-ups of eyes in this play.

　　Do you still remember Mrs. Wen Gangtai’s training for autistic brothers? Expression can judge people’s mood.

　　Even if the expression can be disguised, the true inner emotions will be revealed through the eyes.

After a lapse of one year, on May 15th, the US government once again used state power to block Huawei. Compared with the impact of last year’s "516 entity list", this attack is more accurate and thorough.

To put it simply, if any semiconductor company in the world wants to produce chips for Huawei, it needs to obtain permission from the United States first.

Why can the US government be so lenient? Because every semiconductor company in the world is using the software and technology of American companies more or less. This is the so-called "long arm jurisdiction".

Are semiconductor enterprises in China bound by this? Theoretically, this is the case, because some underlying technologies in China’s semiconductor industry chain can only adopt American technologies.

The United States’ comprehensive restriction and upgrading of Huawei’s chip industry covers the upstream software of chip design, the upstream equipment of chip manufacturing and the 7nm chip manufacturing mainly produced by TSMC. The US Department of Commerce has carried out a fixed-point precision strike on all links of Huawei’s chip industry chain.

The first thing is the upstream EDA software of chip design. Although Huawei can design chips, the high-end software EDA tools for IC design are still basically monopolized by three American companies: Cadence, Synopsys and Mentor. In the China market, these three EDA software companies occupy 95% market share.

As far as Huawei is concerned, since May 16 last year, the cooperation between the three major EDA manufacturers in the United States and Huawei has been terminated. This means that Huawei has not obtained new tools and new upgrade services since then, but it can continue to use EDA tools that Huawei has purchased and authorized. In other words, at present, Huawei Hisilicon can also use the old version of EDA for IC design.

However, in the long run, the localization of EDA software is imperative. Some analysts believe that the technical restrictions in the United States are bringing opportunities to the development of domestic EDA software in China.

Having said that, we must also be soberly aware of the technical gap between China and the United States in EDA software and the difficulty of domestic substitution. But at the same time, we should give up the illusion of "compromise and surrender" and seek the possibility of technological breakthrough.

Why is EDA software important?

If chip manufacturing is compared to building a building, IC design is the design drawing of the building, and EDA software is the design tool of this drawing, but the complexity of EDA software is n orders of magnitude higher than that of architectural design software.

EDA, the abbreviation of Electronics Design Automation, is a computer-aided design software system developed on the basis of electronic CAD technology, which integrates the latest achievements of applied electronic technology, computer technology, information processing and intelligent technology to automatically design electronic products.

Using EDA tools, electronic designers can design electronic systems from concepts, algorithms, protocols, etc., and can automatically process the whole process of electronic products from circuit design, performance analysis to designing IC layout or PCB layout on the computer. EDA technology can be widely used in many fields such as electronics, communication, aerospace, machinery and so on.

With the development of integrated circuit technology, EDA software is more and more synonymous with "chip design software tools" by the industry.

That is to say, EDA software is an important tool for chip design. However, due to the complex technology, fine division of labor and multi-technology synthesis of chip design, EDA software does not refer to only one or several softwares, but involves nearly a hundred different technologies and covers a variety of "point tools" software tool clusters.

EDA software can greatly improve the efficiency of chip design, and also has applications in chip manufacturing, packaging and testing. EDA, semiconductor materials and equipment together constitute the three foundations of integrated circuits.

Today, there are at least hundreds of millions to billions of transistors on a chip, and continuous simulation and verification are needed in the design process, which are inseparable from EDA software. Without EDA tools, no matter how high the level of chip designers is, there is no place for them.

From the basic role of EDA in chip design and manufacturing, its importance is self-evident; From the complexity of EDA software, its technical realization is very difficult.

Specifically, the front-end design of the chip includes chip specification formulation and detailed design, HDL coding, simulation verification, logic synthesis, static timing analysis (SAT) and formal verification. The back-end design includes DFT, FloorPlan, clock tree synthesis (CTS), Place & Route, parasitic parameter extraction, physical verification of layout and so on … …

Judging from the tools used in these design processes, it is almost monopolized by three American companies, Cadence, Synopsys and Mentor, which may disappoint many people who call for the localization of EDA software as soon as possible.

So, what challenges does the domestic substitution of EDA in China face?

What are the difficulties faced by EDA localization substitution?

We must first understand the characteristics of EDA industry. EDA is an extremely important key link in the integrated circuit industry chain, but it is also a highly centralized industrial link with relatively small output value.

In 2018, compared with the chip industry of nearly 500 billion US dollars, the market size of the whole EDA is only 9.715 billion US dollars. Among them, 70% of the market share is occupied by EDA giants Synopsys, Cadence and Mentor Graphics under Siemens. The global EDA industry has formed an oligopoly pattern of the three giants. In the China market, the three giants account for more than 95% of the EDA market share, with a higher concentration.

This has not only greatly squeezed the development space of China’s EDA industry, but also seriously affected the pace of domestic research and development of EDA software in China. In the 1990s, when the United States lifted the ban on EDA in China, the advanced EDA software from the United States quickly came to China, attacking the city all the way, which disrupted the pace of independent research and development of EDA in China, and "market for technology" became the path dependence for the next decade.

Compared with American high-end and mature EDA industrial chain, what are the difficulties in the development of EDA industry in China?

The first is the technical threshold. EDA tool is a "multi-tool" software cluster. At present, Chinese enterprises have achieved breakthroughs in some tools, but at present, more technology needs to be accumulated in the complete and available full-process tool chain, which cannot be completed in a short time.

Secondly, the technology integration is high. EDA is the result of long-term cooperation among chip design companies, fabs and EDA software vendors, which requires a lot of talent investment, mathematical optimization and experience accumulation, and cannot be achieved overnight. At present, many EDA enterprises not only provide EDA software, but also provide IP design, which can not only reduce costs, but also improve IP quality by developing some customized EDA functions, and become the main popular mode at present. Our country’s integrated design ability in advanced process is obviously behind the foreign 2-3 generations.

Once again, it is the talent threshold. In terms of EDA software R&D talents, there are not many universities in China that set up EDA majors, and the Internet and financial industries attract a large number of software development talents, which leads to a serious shortage of EDA software R&D talents.

Finally, China also needs to strengthen the intellectual property protection of EDA technology.

At present, EDA has become the key bottleneck for China’s semiconductor industry to achieve autonomous control. In the field of EDA software, China has owned enterprises such as Huada Jiutian, Guangliwei, Xinhe Technology, Lanhaiwei, Jiutongwei, Bodawei, Jilun Electronics, Kejingda, Chuanglian Zhiruan, etc. It is necessary to achieve a comprehensive breakthrough from "point" to "surface" in overcoming the above problems.

How to break the situation of EDA software localization replacement?

Let’s look at the current situation first. Before the 516 entity list incident last year, Huawei obtained the permanent authorization of EDA tools at that time. Because these EDA software can lead the actual chip manufacturing process for two or three years, the EDA ban will not have much impact on Huawei’s chip design in the short term.

However, if Huawei can’t get the updated and upgraded EDA tools because of the continuous technology export ban, it will greatly restrict Huawei’s iterative development in higher-end chip technology.

Not long ago, Huawei tried to design chips jointly with stmicroelectronics (STM.N). One of its purposes was to obtain EDA design technology to find technology records beyond the US technology ban. However, with the intensification of this round of sanctions, this cooperation may also be terminated.

At present, Huawei can only transfer 14nm chip manufacturing orders to domestic SMIC. In the manufacturing of 5nm and 7nm chips, SMIC still lags behind TSMC’s technology and process. One of the big reasons is that domestic manufacturers who provide chip design software for SMIC cannot achieve a breakthrough in the design of high-end chips.

In the long run, it is imperative to replace EDA software in China. The new round of technical restrictions in the United States has strengthened the determination and speed of China’s semiconductor industry’s autonomy. And a series of factors are also quietly promoting the development and break of EDA software industry in China.

First of all, the leading EDA enterprises in China are receiving a number of grants and strategic investments from the state and investment institutions.

On the evening of May 15th, SMIC announced that the second phase of the State Integrated Circuit Fund and the second phase of the Shanghai Integrated Circuit Fund had injected US$ 1.5 billion and US$ 750 million into SMIC South respectively. This will greatly expand the production capacity of 14 nm wafers.

Similarly, the country is also increasing the resource inclination of EDA industry and promoting the independent development of EDA software. Among them, Guowei Shenzhen’s special sub-project "Development and Application of EDA System in Chip Design Whole Process" ("the project") has been approved by the national major science and technology special project, and will receive a total of about 400 million yuan from the project. As the largest EDA company in China, Huada Jiutian has also received several rounds of investment of several hundred million yuan from various investment institutions in China in recent years.

In terms of policy support, in the face of the situation that domestic EDA software is not used, domestic EDA software is given a certain purchasing inclination. For example, the "Several Measures on Accelerating the Development of Integrated Circuit Industry" issued by Shenzhen recently introduced the first domestic policy to explicitly support EDA R&D, including funding incentives for EDA R&D and subsidies for purchasing domestic EDA software.

Secondly, at the market level, the new development of domestic IC industry also brings some opportunities for the development of domestic EDA software.

At present, new technologies such as 12nm and 7nm are widely used in domestic chips, which urgently requires domestic EDA software to develop products comparable to international manufacturers. Only in the design based on the most advanced technology, it is possible to find the defects of the process and potential product opportunities. Of course, this poses a certain challenge to domestic IC design enterprises, but in the case that the United States can "get stuck" at any time, we must pay some trial and error costs to promote the progress of domestic EDA software.

The rise of new applications such as AI chips and IoT chips has brought new challenges to the existing EDA industry and chip design process, and also brought many new technical research directions to small and medium-sized EDA companies, which has become a new opportunity for them to break through the barriers of EDA giants.

Thirdly, AI technology, as a new variable, is bringing a breakthrough to domestic IC design.

Recently, Google is using AI algorithm to learn the layout of chips, so that products beyond manual design can be designed in a shorter time. Similarly, AI technology is being widely used in EDA companies. For example, Empyrean Mcfly, which was launched by Huada Nine Days ago, uses AI algorithm to accelerate IP verification, and uses AI to learn previous IP cases to verify the new IP, and the verification accuracy reaches about 99%.

In addition, if we want to look at the "broken core" incident in the United States from a longer-term perspective, we must realize that perfect property rights protection of technological innovation and mature talent training mechanism are the fundamental ways for China to achieve core technology in its own hands.

Finally, we should realize calmly that the domestic substitution of EDA software and other related core technologies in chip manufacturing is definitely not a natural thing. Think about the prosperity and decline of Japanese semiconductors, which is our lesson.

In the short term, the prohibition of existing foreign EDA software will not have a fatal impact on Huawei, but Huawei is facing a more dangerous situation because of the upgrade of the entire semiconductor technology in the United States. Actively playing games and seeking "spare tires" have become two preparations to be carried out at the same time.

In the long run, the country and the industry can no longer have the illusion of "compromise" and "seeking to let go" of the United States. All sectors of the industry must show patience and determination to invest in the development and research of basic science and core technologies.

On this more difficult road, China’s chip industry and related science and technology industries should be prepared for long-term suffering. This is especially true for EDA software industry.

1905 movie network news Recently, the phenomenal film of the Spring Festival released a poster of "Shen Gongbao parallel world family portrait", and the leopard family spent the Spring Festival in the parallel world. The fate of Shen Gongbao’s family trying to change their destiny, but living in the shadow of power, has made many audiences empathize with tears.Up to now, the box office of the film has exceeded 1.1 billion, with a single-day box office of 477 million, once again breaking the highest first-day and single-day box office record of the mainland film history animated film created by itself.

With the release of the film and the revelation of new characters Shen Xiaobao and Shen Zhengdao, the new family portrait of Chen Tangguan was released again. In addition to the previously exposed "little brother" Nezha family and the calm and restrained Aobing family, the Shen Gongbao family, who showed their lovely and warm side in private, also spent the Spring Festival happily in the parallel world. Shen Gongbao’s family was dressed in a red suit, and Shen Gongbao rubbed his brother Shen Xiaobao’s head intimately. His father Shen Zhengdao looked at his brothers, friends and brothers’ children with love, and his brother Shen Xiaobao came to "report good news" with a leopard head in his hand.

The movie Do not forget your initiative mind really achieved that no one is bit part, and everyone has their own growth line and highlights. This concept is vividly reflected in the role of Shen Gongbao. Shen Gongbao, a seemingly evil "villain", shouldered the hope of the whole family of the Leopard Demon, but was shattered in the repeated deception and discipline. Even so, he still chose to save the innocent at a critical moment with the determination to die.

The film has been upgraded in many aspects, such as production difficulty, visual effects, story arrangement, etc. The secrets of the production of special effects shots such as siren chains and heart-piercing spells have shocked countless audiences.

In the design of the overall flood trajectory, designers draw inspiration from China’s traditional aesthetics. No matter the fish swimming in the ocean, the traces of smoke floating in the mountains and Chinese paintings, and the migration trajectory of birds in the sky, they all become a part of the flood, showing the unique sense of rhythm of oriental aesthetics together.

The five-year production process of "Nezha 2" is not behind closed doors, but more like an open and progressive Olympic Village. "Nezha 2" has attracted the best animation talents in China to gather and work together, constantly challenging the difficult and more difficult production limits. Every time you try your best, you will also achieve more and better animation talents. The director said, "We hope to influence as many people as possible.".

The characters are repeatedly reversed to create a complete picture, and the picture breaks through innovation and originality. Nezha’s Magic Boy Naughty in the Sea achieves a double harvest at the word-of-mouth box office with the most immediate theme expression, in-depth characterization and creative exquisite visual effects. Countless netizens incarnate "tap water" to take the initiative to Amway "Nezha 2" and support "Nezha 2" with practical actions of "2 brushes and 3 brushes.

　　(Author: newspaper commentator)

　　In 2023, the soda ash market experienced great changes, and the price fluctuation was obviously intensified. This paper mainly analyzes the changes of soda ash market in 2023, and looks forward to the changes and unchanged in 2024.

　　I. Important changes in soda ash market in 2023

　　In 2023, the soda ash market has undergone many changes, both in supply and demand, and in the market competition pattern. As an important part of three acids and two alkalis, soda ash is known as the "mother of chemical industry". Because of its high degree of standardization and relatively easy preservation, there are more participants in soda ash futures and spot. On the whole, the changes of soda ash market in 2023 include the following five aspects:

　　First, the price fluctuation cycle of soda ash is shortened, and the price elasticity is intensified. Taking the price fluctuation of 1000 yuan/ton as the boundary, it will take several months or even years for soda ash to get out of a 1000 yuan/ton band before 2022, and the soda ash market will experience two waves of 1,000 yuan rise and two waves of 1,000 yuan fall in 2023. In 2023, the huge fluctuation of soda ash showed the characteristics of short-term strong outbreak, and most of the thousand-point market in the year was completed within 1.5-2.0 months. This change has an obvious impact on market participants. If we can’t change our thinking quickly, both spot and futures operations are prone to losses.

　　The picture shows the trend of domestic soda ash futures and spot prices from 2021 to 2023 (unit: RMB/ton).

　　Second, the supply of soda ash continued to increase, and the production capacity increased to a new high. In 2023, the domestic output of soda ash was about 32.54 million tons, an increase of 3.34 million tons, with an increase of 11.44%. This output accounts for nearly half of the global soda production, and has reached a record high. The sharp increase of soda ash production in 2023 is mainly affected by the release of daily production capacity and the increase of operating rate. In 2023, the domestic soda production capacity will increase by 6.3 million tons.Head enterprises represented by Jinshan, Henan Province continued to expand their production capacity. In 2023, the profits of ammonia-alkali method and combined alkali method (double tons) were 876 yuan/ton and 1387 yuan/ton respectively, which stimulated the operating rate to increase by 2.78% to 88.04% during the year.

　　Third, the concentration of soda ash upstream is further improved. The biggest change of soda ash market in 2023 is the sharp increase of industry concentration, and the leading enterprises’ control over prices is obviously enhanced. According to the data of Baichuan Yingfu, by the end of 2023, the effective production capacity of domestic soda ash was about 37.8 million tons, among which the top three enterprises (Henan Jinshan, Boyuan Yingen,The total production capacity is 13.2 million tons, accounting for 34.92%; The total production capacity of the top ten enterprises is 23.7 million tons, accounting for 62.70%. If the production capacity of the same group is combined, the top five enterprises in Henan Jinshan, Zhongyan Group,The total production capacity is about 22.1 million tons, accounting for 58.47%; By the end of 2022, the production capacity of the top five soda enterprises accounted for about 51.11%. Not only is the number improved, but Jinshan, Henan Province is the lowest-cost soda enterprise in China and the lowest-cost chemical soda enterprise in China. The market share of low-cost enterprises has increased, and the impact of the change in operating rate on the market has greatly increased. In addition, China National Salt Group, which ranks in the top five, is the main producer of soda ash delivery products in China, and the domestic soda ash production cost is high. The ecological environment in Qinghai is fragile, environmental protection problems are prone to repeated fermentation, the cost of seawater is high, the price sensitivity is high, and it is easy to reduce production after losses.

　　Fourth, the downstream demand of soda ash reached a record high. In 2023, the domestic total consumption of soda ash was about 31.32 million tons, an increase of nearly 2 million tons compared with 2022. The main increase comes from the increase of photovoltaic glass production. From January to November 2023, the domestic photovoltaic glass output was 22,593,300 tons, an increase of 8,119,300 tons compared with the same period of last year, with a growth rate of 56.10%. It is estimated that the domestic photovoltaic glass output will be 25 million tons in 2023, an increase of 8.8 million tons compared with the same period of last year, and the demand for soda ash will increase by 1.76 million tons. In addition to the impact of the increase in photovoltaic glass production, the increase in lithium carbonate production also brought about some increase.

　　Fifth, soda ash imports hit a new high for many years. In 2023, the export volume of soda ash was about 1.47 million tons, and the import volume was about 770,000 tons, which reached a new high in more than ten years. In 2023, overseas soda production capacity increased slightly, but the growth rate of overseas demand was low. In 2023, the center of gravity of domestic soda ash price moved up, and the spot price rose above 3,000 yuan/ton for many times. After the price difference between domestic and foreign markets was opened, leading glass enterprises and large traders actively imported natural alkali with lower price, mainly American alkali and Turkish alkali. According to the CIF price of US$ 210/ton and the exchange rate of US$ 7.10 against RMB, the total cost of importing trona (including customs duties, value-added tax and transportation fees) for glass enterprises is only RMB 2,000/ton. When the domestic price rises above 2600 yuan/ton, and the price difference is greater than that of 600 yuan/ton, even considering the risk of falling spot price, the import is still profitable.

　　Second, the change and invariability of soda ash market in 2024

　　1. Constant: High volatility continues.

　　The constant price of soda ash, a basic chemical, will be its frequent change, and the high fluctuation characteristics of soda ash will continue in 2024. Soda soda, a non-hazardous chemical, has a high degree of standardization, so it has been widely concerned by market funds. In addition to institutional investors, in recent years, soda production, consumption and trade enterprises have also actively participated in the futures market, and the current institutions are constantly emerging and their influence on the market is increasing. In the constant game of the market, the price fluctuation of soda ash is also obviously intensified, and the high fluctuation will continue in the future.

　　Due to the high fluctuation of soda ash, there are obvious hedging opportunities in the upper, middle and lower reaches of the industrial chain. From 2021 to now, domestic spot price and futures of Shahe heavy soda ashThe price difference of the contract fluctuates obviously, and most of the futures are discounted to the spot, but there have also been several waves of futures premium spot trends. Under the pessimistic expectation, the soda ash futures price in 2023 is mostly discounted in cash, but two waves of soda ash surge in the year make the basis quickly repaired. At present, the soda ash market is still characterized by a large discount on spot futures, and downstream enterprises should actively pay attention to the opportunity to buy soda ash near the cost price in the distant month for hedging. Upstream enterprises rely on spot prices to sell recent contracts for hedging.

　　2. unchanged: the expectation of oversupply is hard to change.

　　Since March 2023, the main trading logic of soda ash market has been the expectation of oversupply brought by production capacity. In 2023, the domestic soda production capacity increased by 6.3 million tons, and there are still nearly 3 million tons of production capacity to be released in 2024. According to the production pace of soda ash, the oversupply of soda ash in 2024 is expected to be obvious, especially in the first half of the year, there are few maintenance arrangements for enterprises, and the supply pressure brought by new production capacity will have a greater impact on prices, and the trend of SA2405 is downward.

　　3. No change: the maintenance effect will continue to ferment.

　　In 2023, the soda ash market fluctuated greatly, and besides the impact of the release rhythm of new capacity, the phased maintenance of old equipment also had a more obvious impact on the price. The surge of soda ash from July to August, 2023 was driven by "delayed launch of new production capacity" and "large-scale overhaul of old equipment", and the surge of soda ash in November, 2023 basically continued the dual drive. Looking forward to 2024, the spot and futures prices of soda ash will face obvious price pressure in the first half of the year, with the increase in imports and the release of new capacity at the beginning of the year, and the maintenance in the first half of the year is usually less. If the price drops sharply in the first half of the year, especially after falling below the cost of ammonia-alkali process, the overhaul of soda ash market will increase obviously, and it is likely to exceed the supply increment brought by new production capacity. From the time point of view, the large-scale overhaul of soda ash in 2024 may take place in June-August, and the double pressure of high temperature superposition and falling prices in summer will promote the overhaul of soda ash enterprises. If the maintenance happens as scheduled, the price of soda ash is likely to rebound in stages.

　　The table shows the influence matrix of soda plant commissioning and maintenance on the price.

　　4, unchanged: photovoltaic glass brings incremental demand.

　　In 2023, 19 domestic photovoltaic glass production lines will be added, and the daily melting capacity will increase by 19,750 t/d to 99,810 t/d. In 2023, the incremental demand of photovoltaic glass for soda ash will be nearly 1.8 million tons. In 2024, domestic photovoltaic glass will still be in the cycle of capacity expansion, and the demand for soda ash will increase, which will still be the main source of incremental demand for soda ash. Affected by the early warning system of photovoltaic glass production capacity and the slowdown of demand growth, after considering the maintenance and other factors, it is estimated that the domestic photovoltaic glass production capacity will increase by 20,000-25,000 t/d to 120,000-125,000 t/d in 2024, the annual output will increase by about 6 million tons, and the demand for soda ash will increase by 1.2 million tons.

　　5. Constant: Downstream demand remains rigid.

　　In 2023, the market of soda ash is mainly driven by the supply side, and the demand side is relatively less sensitive to the price. The downstream of heavy alkali is mainly used for float glass and photovoltaic glass, while the downstream demand of light alkali is relatively dispersed but closely related to food, clothing, housing and transportation. Before the price of soda ash rose above 3000 yuan/ton, the demand of heavy alkali and light alkali changed little; When the price rises above 3000 yuan/ton, the downstream of heavy alkali will obviously reduce the purchase, and some downstream of light alkali will reduce the production to reduce the loss. Because the demand for soda ash is relatively rigid, changes in the supply side will lead to huge price fluctuations. With the continuous increase of photovoltaic glass production, the proportion of heavy alkali demand will continue to increase, and the change of soda ash demand side will be smaller.

　　6. Change: non-traditional demand or exceeding expectations

　　In 2024, the demand for soda ash is expected to increase by 2 million tons, which is close to that in 2023. The incremental demand brought by photovoltaic glass is slightly reduced, and the demand for float glass is slightly increased. Represented by lithium carbonateThe demand for alkali will increase, and new fields such as nano-zinc oxide will create some new demand areas. On the whole, the demand for soda ash in 2024 is not pessimistic, and we will continue to pay attention to the production capacity of photovoltaic glass and the non-traditional demand changes represented by lithium carbonate in the later period.

　　7. Change: the end of the high-profit pattern

　　On the whole, the pattern of soda ash market in 2024 is set to be loose supply, especially in the first half of the year. In 2024, the expectation of oversupply in soda ash market will be fulfilled with a high probability, and the price center may be significantly lower than that in 2023. According to the average price of 2000 yuan/ton of heavy alkali, the average profit of ammonia-alkali process may drop to 200-300 yuan/ton in 2024, which is obviously lower than the average profit of 876 yuan/ton in 2023. In 2024, soda ash spot enterprises may experience staged losses, and individual enterprises may withdraw from the market.

　　8. Change: The overall operating rate of the industry will decline.

　　Under the background of production capacity, it is expected that the price of soda ash will drop and the profit will drop in 2024, and the industry operating rate will decline. Among them, the low-cost natural alkali may maintain a high operating rate, and the operating rate of high-cost combined alkali and ammonia-alkali method may show a downward trend. Periodic losses and maintenance may lead to the operating rate of soda ash industry falling below 80%.

　　9. Change: The import volume may be significantly reduced.

　　In 2023, the import of soda ash increased sharply, and the core reason was the expansion of internal and external price difference. In 2024, the operation center of soda ash price will move down and the import window will be closed. It is estimated that exports will drop significantly in 2024, and the annual export volume may drop to around 400,000 tons, which is lower than 770,000 tons in 2023.

　　10. Change: The mode of trade may continue to change.

　　Influenced by the opportunity brought by the fluctuation of soda ash price, a large number of current institutions have emerged in the domestic soda ash market since 2021, among which Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai-based institutions are deeply involved. With the advantages of capital, talents and information, current merchants have become one of the leading forces in soda pricing. Through the combination of existing machines, the spot price has become an important way of soda ash spot circulation. Leading float glass enterprises, such as Qibin and Xinyi, also began to use the point price to purchase. Under the impact of the new model, the trade pattern of soda ash has changed greatly, especially in Shahe and Hubei, two delivery warehouses.

　　11. Change: the direction or change of goods.

　　In 2023, a large amount of new capacity of soda ash was released, among which 4 million tons of new capacity of Yuanxing Energy and 2 million tons of new capacity of Jinshan, Henan Province had the most significant impact. Due to the limited consumption of soda ash in northwest China, most of the soda ash in Inner Mongolia and Qinghai needs to be sold abroad. With the continuous release of new production capacity, the trade pattern of domestic soda ash market will also change in the future. The low-cost Yuanxing trona will mainly circulate in the northern region, and Henan Jinshan will further enhance its market share in Central China and East China. The original soda enterprises with North China and Central China as the main consumption areas will pay more attention to the regional markets such as East China and South China in the future, and the competition will be more intense.

　　12. Change: Downstream pricing power will be significantly enhanced.

　　In 2024, the price of soda ash shows a downward trend as a whole, the upstream pricing power will be weakened, the downstream pricing power will be enhanced, and the profit of the industrial chain is expected to be reconstructed. In the downward price stage, the downstream wait-and-see mood may intensify, leading to "negative feedback" in the spot market. When the price of soda ash falls to near the cost of ammonia and alkali, downstream enterprises may increase their replenishment efforts, and then the inventory will be transferred from upstream to downstream. Benefiting from the downward trend of raw material prices, the profit of float glass in 2024 may be slightly better than that in 2023. (Author:Futures)

In the past two months, another group of stars have been going abroad one after another, some for the elderly, and some for enjoying life.

I. Zhou Weixing

Zhou Weixing is a famous comedian in southern China. He was once as famous as Qizhi and soldier. Zhou Weixing is 65 years old this year.

After divorcing his first wife, he met a Latvian beauty who was 30 years younger. They got married and gave birth to two mixed-race daughters.

Zhou Weixing’s eldest daughter is married and has children, about the same age as his wife, and Zhou Weixing’s father-in-law is two years younger than him.

Recently, Zhou Weixing flew from China to Latvia with two cats. Later, his daughter will go to school in Latvia, and his wife will live in Latvia with her children.

In other words, the focus of Zhou Weixing’s family is in Latvia, not China. Recently, Zhou Weixing also aired her daily life in Latvia on social platforms and shared what she saw and heard.

However, Zhou Weixing is the vice chairman of Hunan Quyi Association, so it is unlikely that he wants to emigrate. However, it is quite possible to get a green card after retirement and settle abroad with his wife.

Second, Yuan Wah

In May, some netizens met Yuan Wah, a famous Hong Kong martial arts actor, in Vancouver, Canada.

Yuan Wah, 70 years old, climbs the mountain with her little grandson in her arms. She’s over 70 years old, but she’s hale and hearty, and she’s as fast as flying, so netizens didn’t even have time to take a group photo.

Yuan Wah has been married to his wife for many years, and has a son and a daughter. The son has settled in Vancouver, and two children have also been born.

Today, Yuan Wah and his wife spend most of their time in Vancouver to take care of their grandchildren. When they reach retirement age, they will also support their grandchildren.

Third, Michael Miu

Michael Miu, like Yuan Wah, went to Canada for the sake of her children. Michael Miu’s daughter grew up and settled in Canada, and now she is going to enter the Canadian entertainment industry.

Michael Miu is 65 years old, but he still hasn’t given up his career in China. The TV series "Happy Desire" starring him just finished.

But as soon as it was finished, Michael Miu rushed back to Canada, and his boxing coach also shared Michael Miu’s exercise routine.

Michael Miu really answered that sentence: making money at home and spending it abroad. But this is a personal choice, and others can’t control it.

Fourth, Du Lisha

Du Lisha, a famous Hong Kong singer, is known to the mainland audience. She should be the variety show "The Singer" in 2017.

Du Lisha was born in Hong Kong, with mixed blood between China and the Philippines, but now she has immigrated to Canada, and her nationality has changed. Du Lisha is 66 years old and retired in the music world, but in 2022, she also participated in CCTV’s Hundred Flowers Spring Festival Gala.

Now, Du Lisha has settled in Canada with her second foreign husband, and the life is very comfortable.

I have to say, Du Lisha is well maintained, and you can’t see any old age.

V. Sandy Lam

Sandy Lam was born in Hongkong and her ancestral home is Ningbo, Zhejiang, but her nationality has already been changed to Canada.

In 2018, Sandy Lam also released her new album, but she has been in seclusion ever since. According to friends in the circle, Sandy Lam has been studying with her daughter in Britain in recent years.

Sandy Lam’s daughter, born to her ex-husband Jonathan Lee, is 25 years old and looks like a mother.

After her daughter graduated, Sandy Lam moved to Japan for a short stay. It is reported that she has family and real estate in both countries.

Sandy Lam is being invited to the next season of the online biography "The Sound is Endless", and Sandy Lam, who has nothing to do, seems to be interested in attending. Qiu Likuan, the agent, also invited her to give a concert in Macau.

Sandy Lam had been in love with musician Jun Kung for eight years, but they broke up in 2019. At present, Sandy Lam’s emotional situation remains a mystery.

Sixth, Yoyo Mung

Yoyo Mung completely immigrated to Japan last year and set up a real estate company in Japan.

In April this year, her husband Ekin Cheng returned to Macau to hold a concert, and Yoyo Mung appeared, but she used Japanese to communicate all the time. She also gave herself a Japanese name of "YOYO Sang". (YOYO is her English name)

It seems that the couple don’t make much money in Japan, otherwise there is no need for Ekin Cheng to hold a concert in Macau suddenly.

Yoyo Mung’s "pro-Japanese" behavior has actually ruined her goodwill in the audience’s mind, but Ekin Cheng rarely made a statement, and generally "the woman sings with her husband".

If this continues, Ekin Cheng wants to make money in the mainland, but it will become more and more difficult, and the audience will not buy it.

In the past two years, many stars have been sent abroad, some true and some false. For example, Wang Gang emptied his social account in April, and everyone thought that he wanted to emigrate. Later, he explained that he had no energy to manage.

In the "Iron Triangle", Zhang Tie-Lin has already joined British citizenship early, so the public will speculate on Wang Gang.

In fact, if you don’t want to be judged, you can learn from Zhang Guoli, who declared as early as 2019 that "he will never emigrate".

Just as Kenny Ho, a Hong Kong star, was asked why he didn’t emigrate, he replied: If a first-class citizen doesn’t do it, why go abroad to be a second-class or third-class citizen? He will "embrace the motherland and refuse to immigrate".

Everyone’s life choices are different, and it is difficult for some stars who have emigrated to other countries to come back now, such as Mr. and Mrs. Lv Liping.

If you choose, you have to take responsibility for your choice, and don’t regret it.
