"Depend! I forgot to bring my mobile power when I went out today! " For today’s smart users, the importance of mobile power is almost flush with the mobile phone itself, and the battery life performance of the mobile phone is particularly important in such an "era". However, aside from these accessories, some mobile phone manufacturers preset a "super power saving" power mode for their mobile phones. In this mode, in addition to some connection functions being disabled, the screen of the mobile phone becomes black and white. Today, we are here to test whether the screen display color is dark or not.

Mythbusters series? AMOLED/IPS screen power consumption test

　　　　I believe many friends have seen it on the Internet or heard it from friends. Setting the screen to a dark or black background can help save electricity, and as mentioned at the beginning, manufacturers will also set some themes to extend battery life, mainly in black and white. This should be a more reliable statement, and the author should be more serious in a responsible attitude. Of course, the greeting in the title is also to add some suspense to the whole article, and the netizens in the province already know the answer before reading the article.

　　　　Of course, as a contrast, our article contains two screen types that occupy the mainstream market, namely AMOLED and IPS. As a screen, the display principles of their two screens are really very different, so let’s start with a little science on screen knowledge at the beginning of the article.

Arranged into a displayed picture by displaying pixels of three primary colors one by one (the picture comes from techeblog).

Liquid crystal screen structure (picture from Kisplay)

　　　　First of all, we should know that at present, all color display devices use the three primary colors of red, blue and green for synthesis, and another key point is the pixel, which is also the key to what we call the clarity of the mobile phone screen and so on. In fact, the IPS screen we are talking about is essentially the same as the TFT screen, both of which belong to the LCD screen, and the IPS panel is superior to the TFT in display characteristics because of the different technologies for controlling the deflection of the LCD, which has become the mainstream screen in the current mobile market (others are TN panel, MVA panel, etc.). Since the structure is the same, I can see from the above picture that it is the backlight that really makes us see the color clearly, which is also the root of the problem of light leakage that many people talk about.

OLED structure (picture from oledw.com)

　　　　On the other hand, AMOLED screens are very different in structure and lighting mode. In fact, OLED technology was rarely applied to civilian-grade products before the smart phone boom, and many AMOLED and Super AMOLED screens from Samsung made people slowly come into contact with OLED technology. Organic light-emitting diodes with dyes in OLED can emit by themselves.Colored light, undertakes the mission of "backlight+filter", which has a huge gap with LCD screen in the use of light.

　　On the afternoon of July 28th, the Ministry of National Defense held a regular press conference, and Senior Colonel Wu Qian, Director of the Information Bureau of the Ministry of National Defense and spokesman of the Ministry of National Defense, answered questions.

　　Reporter: A few days ago, Taiwan’s defense department claimed that PLA fighters had repeatedly crossed the so-called "central line of the Straits", seriously undermining regional peace and stability, and speculated that a PLA warship had recently appeared off the coast of Hualien. According to Taiwan sources, in view of US Senator Scott’s visit to Taiwan, the PLA "obviously released a provocative message". What’s your comment on this?

　　Wu Qian: Taiwan Province is a part of China, and there is no so-called "central line of the Straits" between the two sides. At present, the root of the tense and turbulent situation in the Taiwan Strait is the collusion between the "Taiwan independence" forces and external forces. It is precisely the Democratic Progressive Party authorities that constantly seek "independence" and provocation that undermine peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait, and it is precisely the external forces that attempt to "contain China with Taiwan".

　　The People’s Liberation Army will never tolerate the separatist acts of "Taiwan independence" and the interference of external forces, and resolutely counter them. Action is the most powerful language. Relevant parties should learn to adapt, learn to reflect, and more importantly, learn to pull back from the brink.

　　　　　　 CCTV News:On 14th, Heili, the Permanent Representative of the United States to the United Nations, announced to the outside world the evidence that the United States believed was Iranian weapons assistance to the Yemeni Houthi armed forces at the Ana Castia-Bolin military base in Washington. Heili said that the evidence clearly shows that Iran has violated relevant UN resolutions.

Reading a Picture | National Standard "Courtyard Canopy"

First, English emphasizes structure, while Chinese emphasizes semantics.

Mr. Wang Li, a famous linguist in China, once said: "As far as sentence structure is concerned, western languages are ruled by law, while China languages are ruled by men." (China’s Grammar Theory, Collected Works of Wang Li, Volume I, Page 35, Shandong Education Press, 1984)

Let’s take a look at the following example:

Children will play with dolls equipped with personality chips, computers with inbuilt personalities will be regarded as workmates rather than tools, relaxation will be in front of smell television, and digital age will have arrived.

Children can play with dolls with personality chips; Computers with embedded personality devices will be regarded as people’s work partners rather than just tools; In leisure time, TV can also meet the needs of people’s sense of smell-at that time, the digital age has arrived.

This English is a compound sentence composed of four independent sentences. The first three sentences are in simple future tense, and the last sentence is in future perfect tense. The relationship between sentences is clearly expressed by tense, comma and coordinate conjunction and. The Chinese translation is obviously a simple narrative, and the relationship between sentences is completely expressed through the semantics of sentences: the first three sentences can be regarded as a coordinate relationship, and the last sentence represents the result.

Second, there are many long sentences in English and many short sentences in Chinese.

Because English is a language ruled by law, as long as there are no structural mistakes, many meanings can often be expressed in one long sentence; Chinese, on the other hand, is just the opposite. Because it is "rule by man", semantics are directly expressed through words, and different meanings are often expressed through different short sentences. It is for this reason that almost 100% of English-Chinese test questions are long and complicated sentences, and translation into Chinese often becomes many short sentences.

For example, interest in historical methods had arisenless through external challenge to the validity of history as an intellectual discipline and more from internal quarles about historians.

People are interested in historical research methods, which is not so much because of external challenges to the effectiveness of history as a knowledge discipline as because of internal disputes among historians.

The original English sentence is a typical long sentence, which consists of 27 words, without any punctuation marks in the middle. The meaning of the whole sentence is broken up completely by grammatical structure: less through…and more from constitutes a complex adverbial modifier verb arisen. In Chinese translation, the important content of "generating interest" is expressed in an independent sentence, and two different reasons are expressed in different sentences, and the whole sentence is broken into parts.

Third, there are many clauses in English and many clauses in Chinese.

English sentences can not only make sentences longer by using long modifiers in simple sentences, but also make sentences more complicated by using clauses, which are often connected with the main sentence or other clauses through clause guides. Although the whole sentence is complicated on the surface, it is a whole. Chinese likes to use short sentences, and the expression structure is relatively loose, so clauses in English sentences often become clauses when translated into Chinese.

For example, on the whole such a conclusion can be drawn with a certain degree of confidence but only if the child can be assured to have had the same attitude T. owards the test as the other with whom he is compared, and only if he was not punished by lack of relevant information which they possessed.

Generally speaking, it is certain to draw such a conclusion, but two conditions must be met: it can be assumed that this child’s attitude towards the test is the same as that of another child compared with him; He has not been deducted for lack of relevant knowledge that other children have already mastered.

The two clauses led by only if in the original text obviously make the whole sentence very complicated, but because of the coordinate conjunctions but and, the logical relationship of the whole sentence is very clear: … can draw a conclusion … but as long as … and as long as …. From the above translation, we can see that, in order to make Chinese expression more clear, but only if…and only if … first of all, outline: but two conditions must be met … This gives us the impression that there are no clauses in the translation, but only some different clauses.

Four, the subject, object and other noun components "English pronouns, Chinese nouns".

In sentences, English uses nouns and prepositions, while Chinese uses verbs.

English has not only personal pronouns such as we, you, he, they, but also relative pronouns such as that and which. In long and complicated sentences, in order to make the sentence structure correct and the semantics clear, and avoid repetition in expression, English often uses many pronouns. Although there are pronouns in Chinese, due to the relatively loose structure and short sentences, too many pronouns cannot be used in Chinese, and the use of nouns often makes the semantics clearer. Please look at the following example:

There will be television chat shows hosted by robots, and cars with pollution monitors that will disable them when they offend.

At that time, there will be TV talk shows hosted by robots and cars equipped with pollution monitors. Once the pollution of these cars exceeds the standard (or violates the rules), the monitors will stop them.

Five, English is more passive, and Chinese is more active.

English prefers to use the passive voice, especially for scientific English. Although there are words such as "Bei" and "You" in Chinese that indicate that actions are passive, this expression is far less common than the passive voice in English, so passivity in English often becomes initiative in Chinese translation. Let’s first look at the Chinese translation of a group of commonly used passive sentence patterns:

It must be pointed out that … It must be pointed out that …

It must be admitted that … It must be admitted that …

It is imagined that … People think that …

It can not be denied that … There is no denying that …

It will be seen from this that …

It should be realized that … It must be realized that …

It is (always) stressed that … People (always) emphasize …

It may be said without fear of investigation that … It is no exaggeration to say that …

These commonly used passive sentence patterns are idiomatic expressions, which appear frequently in EST. Candidates should not only be familiar with the fixed translation of these sentence patterns, but also realize that many English passives are customarily translated into Chinese actively. Let’s look at a typical example:

And it is imagined by many that the operations of the common mind can by no means be compared with these processes, and that they have to be required by a sort of special training.

Many people think that the thinking activities of ordinary people can’t be compared with those of scientists at all, and that these thinking activities must be mastered through some special training.

There are three passive voices in the original text: imagined, be compared and be required, which all become active expressions when translated into Chinese: think, compare and master.

Some English passives need to be translated into Chinese objects, so as to be more in line with Chinese expression habits.

For example: new sources of energy must be found, and this will take time, but it is not likely to result in any situation that will ever restore that sense of cheap and plentiful energy we have had in the past time.

New energy sources must be found, which takes time; And the situation that we felt in the past that energy was cheap and abundant will not happen again.

Six, English changes more, Chinese repeats more.

Anyone who is familiar with English knows that English often changes its expression when expressing the same meaning. The first time you say "I think", the second time you use "I think" is obviously boring, so you should use expressions like "I believe" or "I imagine". In contrast, Chinese is not as demanding of changing expressions as English, so many changing expressions in English can be translated into repeated expressions. Please look at the following example:

The monkey’s most extraordinary accomplishment was learning to operate a tractor. By the age of nine, the monkey had learned to solo on the vehicle.

The monkey’s greatest achievement is learning to drive a tractor. By the age of nine, the monkey had learned to drive a tractor alone. Tractor and vehicle obviously both mean "tractor" in the sentence, and there are changes in English expression, but repeated expression is used when translating into Chinese.

Seven, English is more abstract and Chinese is more concrete.

People who have done more translation practice have this experience: it is difficult to translate English sentences mainly because of their complex structure and abstract expression. By analyzing the structure of sentences, changing long sentences into short sentences and clauses into clauses, structural problems are often solved. Expressing abstraction requires the translator to thoroughly understand the meaning of the original text and express it in concrete Chinese, which is often more challenging for the translator.

Let’s look at a set of examples first:

Disintegration fell apart

Ardent enthusiastic; Enthusiastic

Loyalty is loyal.

Total exhaustion is exhausted

Far-sightedness is farsighted

Careful consideration is thoughtful.

Perfect harmony is harmonious; mix as well as water and milk—be in complete harmony

Feed on fancies painting cakes to satisfy hunger.

With great eagerness, hungry

Lack of perseverance fishes for three days and dries the net for two days.

Make a little contribution (donation, donation)

On the verge of destruction is at stake.

It is not difficult to see from the above examples that English expressions are often more abstract, while Chinese prefers to be more specific. Let’s look at another translation:

Until such time as mankind has the sense to lower its population to the points whereas the planet can provide a comfortable support for all, people will have to accept more "unnatural food."

Unless man finally realizes that the population should be reduced to such an extent that the earth can provide enough food for all, people will have to accept more "artificial food".

There are three abstract nouns in the original text: sense, point and support, and two abstract adjectives: comfort and unnatural. Among them, sense can mean "feeling" and "judgment", point means "point", support means "supporting", "comfortable" and "unnatural", all of which are very abstract words. If we don’t concretize them, the translation may be like this:

Eight, English more extension, Chinese more reasoning.

There are two common sayings in English: one is "You know a word by the company it keeps", and the other is "Words do not have meaning, but people have meaning for them". This shows that the definition and interpretation of words in dictionaries are dead, while the language in practical use is alive. From the perspective of the original text, this kind of flexible use is an extension of the meaning and usage. To understand this extension accurately in translation, the translator needs to make inferences. For example:

While there are almost as many definitions of history as there are historians, modern practice most closely conforms to one that sees history as the attempt to recreate and explain the significant events of the past.

Although there are almost as many definitions of history as historians, modern practice is most in line with the definition that history is regarded as the reproduction and explanation of major historical events in the past.

"recreate" is "re-created" according to word formation and general dictionary explanation, but it is not difficult to find that it has the object the significant events of the part. Logically speaking, "major historical events in the past" cannot be "re-created", and the author obviously extends the meaning of the word recreate. Translators often have the feeling that a word is clearly known, but they just don’t know how to express it. This is actually the extension and reasoning of words at work.

Author/　Chen yi

Half a month ago, only three days after the release of the literary film Under the Sun, which tells the story of girls’ growth, the box office performance fell off a cliff. Just as director Liang Ming was heartbroken, this Friday, another story about girls’ growth appeared-the virgin work of cutting-edge director Zhou Sun, a youth reality film starring Ancy and Leon.

After the momentum of domestic youth films gradually faded, in recent years, many films with girls as the leading role and mainly about girls’ spiritual transformation and self-awareness awakening have emerged one after another. Only those with the word "girl" in their names have appeared in five years, such as Flash Girl, Girl Nezha, Girl Jiahe and Mosaic Girl.

　

Among these films about girls, although there are also commercial films (such as My Girlhood, Left Ear, July and An Sheng) which are in the same strain as the youth films of previous years, more of them are literary films independently produced by new directors. It is these small-budget, independent films that are mainly discussed in this paper.

　

Data comes from Douban and Lighthouse Professional Edition.

At present, except for a few works blessed by celebrity directors, these girls’ films generally have poor market response, and the Douban scores are mostly above 6 and below 7. However, even so, there are still more and more directors who persistently cast their eyes on this, and again and again through the girl’s heart, to complete the personal expression in their works.

　

In this case, the question we have to think about is: With the increase of the number, will girls’ films fall into the dilemma similar to domestic youth films? If you want to gain lasting vitality, how should these girls find a breakthrough in box office and word of mouth?

　

From Youth Love to Self-growth

-the road to the appearance of the girl image

　

In 2013, the film "To Our Dying Youth" directed by Zhao Wei was born. After the word-of-mouth and box office both set new genre records, a large number of films with similar content structures appeared in a short period of time, and youth films have since become one of the types that can’t be ignored in the mainland film industry.

　

A large number of commercial relapses will inevitably mean the homogenization of the theme and the decline in quality. Within a few years, the reputation of mainland youth movies will no longer be there, and this situation will not be improved until a number of works with diversified themes such as July and An Sheng (2016) and Flash Girl (2017) appear. Gradually, the definition of youth films has been broadened, and the market has finally picked up.

　

The 2017 youth film word-of-mouth work "Flash Girl"

　

Among the emerging types, girl movies are one of them.

　

As a sub-type of youth films, girls’ films usually refer to films with adolescent women as the main point of view and girls’ growth as the theme of the story. It is different from ordinary campus love dramas (such as You at the Same Table), and it is also different from emerging types that focus on teenagers and have certain social critical significance (such as A River of Sorrow, Better Days, etc.). The most important word in girls’ movies is "girl", and the lush years in the films should be presented through her eyes, and all the immature atmosphere and nostalgic atmosphere should also carry strong feminine characteristics.

Although the number is still limited, the increase of girls’ movies in recent years is obvious. First of all, this is because in the movie market, the youth story of dog blood can no longer deceive people’s attention, and the audience began to yearn for films with more depth and substitution. On the other hand, it is also because feminism has risen year by year and people’s self-awareness has gradually awakened.

　

With the development of feminism in mainland China, there are more and more discussions about women, and the constraints of the times on "girls" are gradually weakening. Nowadays, the discussion on the role of women in film and television works is no longer a unilateral power suppression, women begin to gain the right to speak, and the works from the perspective of women are increasing day by day.

　

A masterpiece of girls’ theme "Over Spring"

　

At the same time, today’s society belongs to the only child generation, and as far as girls’ movies are concerned, the leading role of the film is mostly only children. Compared with the older generation with many brothers and sisters, most of the only children have urban family background, and they are the center of the family since childhood, so they don’t need to worry about food and clothing. Under this living environment, they will naturally pay more attention to themselves and are eager to express and realize their self-worth. At this point, it is the same for both the creator of the film and the characters in the film.

　

However, there are also expectations and emotional loads from parents corresponding to food and clothing. In the post-90s generation, the pursuit of self is always accompanied by social and family constraints, and this contradiction is actually the social and realistic basis for the gradual rise of girls’ movies in the China market in recent years.

　

From rigid attachment to personality liberation

-the road to transformation of young girls

　

As a transition from children to adults, "teenage girls" are an important period when women’s physical and mental changes and gender awareness begin to awaken. The construction of gender identity will bring a series of contradictions and puzzles, which are constantly impacting the eternal topic of growth.

　

For a long time, the image of "girl" has been an indispensable part in the youth movies about growth. However, from the simple "gender symbol" in the early years to the vivid role images now, it took a period of development for the girls in domestic youth movies to come to their present positions.

　

In the early days of the wave of youth films, most of the girls in the campus stories were accessories of the male characters in the films.

　

Take the traditional youth film "You at the Same Table" as an example. In the film, Zhou Xiaozhi played by Zhou Dongyu is sweet, lovely, pure and clean. These elements are almost completely in line with the fantasy of traditional men for first love, and the role of Zhou Xiaozhi is somewhat instrumental and representative.

　

Similar to other films in the same period, You at the Same Table tells the story of the growth of the hero Lin Yi from the perspective of the whole process. In Lin Yi’s youth, Zhou Xiaozhi has always been in a passive position, and her fate will even be influenced by Lin Yi, just like the victim of this love.

　

This kind of role and plot setting will naturally arouse the dissatisfaction of some viewers, and it is under this voice of dissatisfaction that some films from the female perspective and centered on female roles began to appear in the market. For example, July and An Sheng, which still belongs to the category of youth films, broke the tradition of male discourse as the center of this type. By reviewing the growth experiences of two girls, July and An Sheng, women’s thoughts on life and growth were highlighted.

　

After gaining a good response, the domestic youth films did not stop there, and it was at this time that the girls’ films made their debut, enriching and expanding this genre.

　

Compared with previous commercial youth films, the girl images in girls’ films are more plump and multifaceted. In these stories with them as the main point of view, all the girls are divorced from the perfect characters in traditional youth movies. They are no longer perfect, no longer devoted to love, and no longer blindly pay and sacrifice themselves.

　

　

Facing the sinister society, Xiaomi, a working girl in Carnival, once exposed her inner darkness. The experience of going out at a young age made her precocious. In the face of the crime of harming girls, her kindness and justice instinct made her record videos as evidence. However, in the case of possible displacement at any time, she did not forget to please her lawyer at the price of a problem in 100 yuan, and tried to keep her job with the video of evidence.

　

In Girl Nezha, Wang Xiaobing, a girl, shows her edges and corners in a more direct way. In the face of family disputes, she finally accused and complained loudly in front of her family. In the end, she even expressed her stubbornness and persistence in the extreme form of suicide by cutting her wrist.

　

Wang Xiaobing who complained loudly in front of his family.

　

In a word, as the core figures in youth films, these girls have finally shown diversified characteristics. Under the creator’s hand, they strive to break away from the shackles of tradition and boldly pursue themselves, while at the same time taking on more and more social responsibilities and shouldering the unique discourse secrets of this era.

　

Gender issues and typological development

-The way to break through girls’ movies

　

Similar to domestic youth films, in recent years, girls’ films as a whole have shown a mixed trend, and the theme content has gradually landed. Instead of indulging in beautiful love and dreamy expression, these films are more combined with realism and criminal elements, which directly hit social pain points and are full of humanistic care.

　

Among them, Carnival focuses on children’s sexual assault, Over the Spring focuses on identity, My Heart is Jumping for joy discusses forbidden love, and Girl Jiahe tells the story of girl’s revenge. However, no matter where the focus is, there is usually a common psychological feature in these films exploring the growth of girls, that is, awakening, thinking and identifying with women’s gender identity.

　

The girl movie My Heart is Jumping with the theme of love between teachers and students.

　

Unfortunately, although it revolves around the word "women", the theme of women does not mean a feminist position. For most girls’ movies, although they try to discuss this critical issue, they can’t really go deep.

　

Still take the film Carnival as an example. In the story, the two girls who were violated by the prisoner were always in a state of aphasia, and Xiaomi, a working girl, chose to help her peers defend their rights only after being calculated and beaten by the criminal’s accomplices.

　

On the other hand, eager to get rid of the present misfortune, Xiaomi even almost sold her body to keep her job. Although her self-consciousness finally awakened at the end of the film, from the perspective of the female images in the whole film, the girls in Carnival are always numb and powerless in the face of male cruelty. Moreover, they have been in this tragic situation for a long time, and they have even lost their sense of resistance, just trying their best to escape or paralyze themselves.

　

The same is true of Girl Nezha. In this story, Wang Xiaobing, who represents the rebellious side, grew up in a broken family and had a tense relationship with her parents, but at the same time, she was free, chic and fearless. It can be said that her presence makes the audience see more possibilities of life, but unfortunately, Wang Xiaobing at the end of the film only gains a tragic ending with death.

　

　

For the audience, this seems to be a hint and a wake-up call-the young rebellion is just a bold and arrogant dream, the alternative road will eventually be blocked, and the girls will still have to get lost and return to the tradition.

　

Contemporary China girls’ movies seem to follow the development of feminism, but at its core, this kind of superficial resistance and discussion still makes most of the works become a youthful adventure.

　

On the other hand, like the popular youth films in the 1910 s, the current theme of girls also shows a trend of homogenization. Even, unlike youth films, most of these girls’ films are literary films, and too many personal expressions in some films make the audience foggy. Therefore, in business, it is difficult for these films to break through the circle, and there is little hope for sustainable development.

　

In an interview two days ago, Liang Ming, the director of Under the Sun, bluntly said that he had "sold his house in the old market" because the box office was bleak. Previously, Nezha the Girl, My Heart is Jumping, and other films all suffered setbacks at the box office. Even Carnival, a word-of-mouth work blessed by social hot issues, did not exceed 30 million at the box office at that time, which was really regrettable.

　

On the eve of the release, Carnival happened to catch up with the "red, yellow and blue" incident that shocked thousands of netizens, and the film gained more attention.

　

As far as the current film market is concerned, although the multi-element fusion works such as Girl Jiahe can attract more attention, on the whole, girl movies are still difficult to break. If you want to really trigger a craze, this kind of film should pay equal attention to business and art, abandon the over-small pattern and over-personal expression, and slowly seek its own breakthrough road.

　　At 13: 00 local time on August 24th (12: 00 Beijing time), the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant in Japan started discharging nuclear polluted water into the sea. Tokyo Electric Power Company announced that the discharge of nuclear polluted water from Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant is expected to be 200-210 tons, and the first discharge will last for 17 days, with a total discharge of about 7,800 cubic meters of nuclear polluted water. Tokyo Electric Power Company said that it will add about 1,200 tons of seawater to each ton of nuclear polluted water for dilution, and start discharging nuclear polluted water after confirming that the concentration is reduced to the so-called "expected standard".

　　Nuclear polluted water will be discharged into the sea for 30 years.

　　According to a press conference held by Tokyo Electric Power Company, the analysis results show that the tritium concentration meets the expectations and the meteorological conditions at sea meet the requirements, so the discharge of nuclear polluted water is started as planned. Tokyo Electric Power Company said that the discharge work was carried out remotely by the staff through the central monitoring room of the relevant facilities in the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, and the water pump was operated by the display screen to mix the nuclear polluted water with seawater and pour it into the shaft. When the polluted water is filled, it will be discharged into the sea through the tunnel connecting the ocean and the lower part of the shaft. It is worth noting that the discharge of nuclear polluted water can not be completed at one time. Due to the delay in the removal of fuel debris from the core of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, the amount of nuclear pollution generated by cooling is increasing every day, and it is estimated that the sea discharge will last for about 30 years. According to Tokyo Electric Power Company, this year, 5 trillion Bekkerel’s nuclear polluted water with tritium radiation will be discharged into the sea in four times.

　　Japanese Prime Minister kishida fumio stressed at the relevant cabinet meeting that even if it takes decades, the Japanese government will promote and complete the plan of discharging nuclear polluted water into the sea, and solve the so-called "rumor" problem that accompanies it. Similarly, in a series of statements after the meeting, the Japanese government not only kept silent about the harm of the sea discharge plan, but also mentioned to varying degrees that it was necessary to stop the spread of so-called "rumors" to prevent its harm to its own fisheries. Although kishida fumio claims that meeting with fishery representatives makes "understanding is making progress", I’m afraid this is not the true attitude of local fishermen in Fukushima and all over Japan.

　　Japanese fishery groups strongly protested

　　Although the Japanese government has been trying to play up the "safety" of the nuclear pollution water discharge plan, the Japanese fishery as a stakeholder is unmoved. Yasushi Sakamoto, president of the Japan National Federation of Fishery Cooperatives, said in a meeting with kishida fumio that the Japanese government had not kept its promise of "resolutely supporting the fishery" and pointed out that the Japanese government should not push forward the sea discharge plan without the understanding of relevant stakeholders.

　　Sakamoto Yasin said that although the Japanese government tried to gain Japanese fishermen’s understanding of the sea discharge plan, "once the polluted water discharge is started, it will last for decades, which makes us very anxious and worried. Our only hope is to let the fishery develop peacefully. " Tetsuji Suzuki, executive director of the Fukushima Fishery Federation, also reiterated his opposition to the plan, and said that the views of Fukushima fishermen have not changed, and the relevant government decisions can only be understood on the basis of ensuring the sustainability of Fukushima fishery.

　　Gao Qiao Tong, a fisherman from Soma City, Fukushima Prefecture, said in an interview with the Japan Broadcasting Association that the fishing moratorium will end on September 1, and he was very worried about the adverse effects of the discharge of nuclear polluted water on local fishery products. The Japanese government and Tokyo Electric Power Company did not explain this, so he always opposed the plan to discharge water into the sea. He pointed out that after that, Fukushima aquatic products will be seriously affected by the sea discharge plan. "Once the relevant parameters exceed the standard, regardless of the actual situation, it will be identified as nuclear pollution and water pollution. This will cause great problems and even make it impossible to fish again. " He also said, "The trust relationship between fishermen and the government has not deepened, and we can never accept emissions."

　　Our country resolutely opposes and strongly condemns it.

　　A spokesman for the Permanent Mission of China to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) made a speech on August 24th, strongly condemning Japan’s unilateral forced start of the Fukushima nuclear accident to discharge polluted water into the sea that day, arguing that the Japanese move seriously damaged the authority and credibility of the IAEA, seriously damaged the people’s health and marine environmental rights and interests of neighboring countries, and seriously damaged the safety and development interests of the global nuclear energy industry.

　　China’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin pointed out on August 23rd that the ocean is the blue home on which all human beings depend, and is not allowed to dump nuclear polluted water at will. The Japanese side is undoubtedly betting on the global marine environment and the health of all mankind by pushing nuclear polluted water into the sea. If Japan really has the sincerity to solve the concerns of its neighbors, it should immediately stop pushing the plan to expel the sea, conduct exchanges without presupposing the results, and fully discuss all possible safety disposal schemes.

　　Wang Wenbin emphasized that China strongly urges Japan to cancel its wrong decision, stop pushing the plan of discharging nuclear polluted water into the sea, communicate with neighboring countries in good faith, and dispose of it in a responsible manner to avoid unpredictable damage and harm to the global marine environment. If China insists on the plan of forcibly pushing out the sea, the Japanese government will take necessary measures to firmly safeguard the marine environment, food safety and public health.

　　"Our department attaches great importance to the issue of nuclear pollution water discharged from Fukushima, Japan. In 2021 and 2022, the monitoring of marine radiation environment in the sea areas under China’s jurisdiction was organized, and the background of marine radiation environment in relevant sea areas was found out. The monitoring results show that the activity concentration of artificial radionuclides in seawater and marine organisms under the jurisdiction of China is not abnormal, and it is generally within the fluctuation range over the years. At present, according to the idea of monitoring key areas, covering jurisdictional waters and mastering key passages, our Ministry is organizing the monitoring of marine radiation environment in China’s jurisdictional waters in 2023. In the follow-up, our department will continue to strengthen relevant monitoring work, timely track and judge the possible impact of Fukushima nuclear pollution water discharge on our marine radiation environment, and earnestly safeguard our national interests and people’s health. " The relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment (National Nuclear Safety Administration) pointed out that Japan started discharging nuclear polluted water from Fukushima into the sea.

　　South Korea’s attitude is contradictory

　　According to the calculation of the German Scientific Oceanography Agency, the radiation pollution in the nuclear polluted water discharged by Japan will spread to most of the Pacific Ocean within 57 days. After three years, the United States and Canada will be polluted; It will spread to the global waters in 10 years. Among them, China and South Korea will be the countries most seriously affected by nuclear sewage.

　　At present, the South Korean government is indifferent to the discharge of nuclear polluted water into the sea. Thirty minutes after the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant began to discharge nuclear polluted water into the sea, South Korean Prime Minister Han Dezhu read a statement to the public, saying that there is "no need to worry too much" about Japan’s discharge plan. As the largest opposition party in South Korea, the Common Democratic Party explicitly opposes the discharge of nuclear polluted water, and said: "An emergency meeting of parliamentarians was held and a resolution was decided to be issued, calling on the government to actively use diplomatic power to stop the discharge." This powerful response was accused by the South Korean government of "using false news to incite anxiety". In this regard, Han Dezhu also added in the statement: "The biggest threat to the people is the false news without scientific basis and the false incitement for political interests."

　　Li Zaiming, a representative of the Common Democratic Party, strongly criticized the South Korean government’s connivance at Japan’s nuclear pollution water discharging into the sea at the party’s emergency meeting, and pointed out: "Japan ignored the concerns and opposition of the international community and chose the road of environmental disaster that is most harmful to mankind." In addition, civil society and other environmental movement groups also held a rally in downtown Seoul, and said: "Dumping radioactive materials to pollute the ocean is uncivilized and should be stopped immediately. Yin Xiyue’s authorities who defended Japan’s plan to expel the sea are also accomplices. "
