Behind the Creation： From fire and ice to Game of Thrones

　　"The smell of people is floating in the night wind. The wolf spirit stopped under a tree and sniffed, and the gray-brown fur was covered with mottled shadows … …” This is the beginning written by george martin, an American writer, in the fifth volume of the series fire and ice, The Dance of the Magic Dragon. The fifth volume is the latest volume of this series of novels, published in 2011. "fire and ice" tells the story of the power struggle of lords and the invasion of human beings by aliens on an imaginary continent called Westeros.

　　On May 20th, the last episode of the TV series Game of Thrones, which was adapted from the series novel fire and ice, officially ended. The story of ice and fire is still in Martin’s mind, in the crazy expectation of hundreds of millions of readers around the world.

　　The Far Country

　　As a kind of fantasy novels, serious fantasy novels are widely welcomed by readers. The content of this kind of novels is built in an overhead world, some of which are different from the real world in terms of things and rules. Some of the overhead worlds are completely overhead, such as fire and ice and terry pratchett’s Dish World. Others are based on the real world, such as Rowling’s Harry Potter and Lewis’s The Legend of Narnia. These novels not only have great influence in the field of literature, but also their stories are widely circulated through film and television dramas.

　　In fact, Martin’s first famous works were not fantasy novels, but science fiction. He was born in a dockworker’s family in New Jersey. In such a growing environment, he saw ships of various countries flying flags in the harbor every day, which made Martin dream of going to distant countries when he was a child.

　　Martin was born in 1948 after World War II. At that time, Jack Kerouac, an American writer, put forward a literary concept, that is, the "beat generation", which questioned the old literary "routine" at that time. After World War II, great changes have taken place in the field of traditional literature, and literary forms have been constantly innovated. Superhero comics have also influenced Martin’s childhood. His earliest debut was related to comics, and he won the Avery Award in 1965 — — An award that is very important in the minds of comic book fans.

　　But like Martin’s characters, the author’s life has not followed the rules. After that, he began to write science fiction, and was nominated for Hugo Award and nebula Award. By 1975, Martin was already a well-known science fiction writer, and won the Hugo Award for Best Novelette for Song of Leona.

　　"The oldest of them is undoubtedly the solemn giant city built on the sacred mountain and rusty red." This is not the red castle in the palace in fire and ice, but the "Rome" of the Saint Croats in Song of Leona. Nowadays, when many readers find this book because of fire and ice, they will find many amazing contents, not only the names of Rob and Leona, but also the characters named after these two names have played an important role in the story of fire and ice. More importantly, the attitudes of different characters in the story towards death are amazing.

　　Finally, The Game of Thrones, the first volume of the fire and ice series, released in 1996, won Martin the Hugo Award for novella and the World Fantasy Award for its "Dragon Blood" chapter, which is the highest award in fantasy literature. Then several other volumes published in succession also won the literary award. The second volume "The Disputes of Kings" and the third volume "The Storm of Snow and Ice" all won the track award for best fantasy novel.

　　The blueprint of history

　　In the novel fire and ice, it is common for the main characters in a certain chapter to die in the plot, even including the POV characters from the perspective of the chapter. In TV series, the total number of dead characters even exceeds the detective cartoon "Detective Conan", which makes readers worry about it, so that technical university of munich even developed a set of computer algorithms to predict the chances of each character’s survival.

　　The death of the main character is the difference between fire and ice and the past fantasy novels, and the main character no longer has the so-called "protagonist aura". There are eight Duke Starks in the beginning of fire and ice. By the fifth episode of the eighth season of the TV series, only four people have survived. Even the survivors have experienced all kinds of pains and even disabilities. This kind of writing, which is different from the heroic storyline and happy ending of fantasy novels in the past, has attracted more readers and made the story more possible.

　　In 1990, Martin, who was unhappy as a screenwriter in Hollywood, began to write novels again. Now people know the story that a picture suddenly appeared in his mind: "A direwolf was stabbed to death by antlers, leaving a few little wolves, which were later taken to be raised by a group of children". This picture is also the plot in Game of Thrones, the first volume of fire and ice.

　　What many people don’t know is that literary creation needs not only a flash of creativity, but also a lot of accumulation. As a teenager, Martin, who was addicted to books, read a lot of historical and literary books, which is very similar to his idol Tolkien. Martin was also called "Tolkien of America" by literary circles. Many fantasy stories have realistic historical blueprints. People can find the plots in Nordic and Germanic myths from Tolkien’s novels, while what readers read from fire and ice is wars of the roses.

　　In a sense, many contents in fire and ice can be found in the history of wars of the roses. For example, the York family and house of lancaster, both sides of wars of the roses, can correspond to the Stark family and the Lannister family who fought against each other in the novel. The badges of the two families are similar to those in the novel, and the color is also one white and one red. In the civil war that lasted for 30 years in history, a large number of nobles were killed, and some families even lost their children.

　　In 2011, Martin was named one of the top 100 people of the time by Time magazine, and Steve Jobs was on the list in the same year.

　　Future highlights

　　The story of "fire and ice" is also based on the land of the seven kingdoms on the continent of Westeros. From the king to the lords of various families, a power struggle is staged. In the story, even ordinary people staged the plot of the power struggle between the king and the lords abroad on the stage, which is quite interesting. The frozen Great Wall in the north can not help but remind people of the famous Great Wall of Hadrian in Britain. The motto of the Iron Islands is "Forcible is better than hard work", and there is also the shadow of Viking.

　　Before fire and ice, The Lord of the Rings’s The Legend of Narnia and Harry Potter were considered as the three classics in fantasy literature. The authors of all three novels were British, and the last two novels related to the real world all took place in Britain. Although fire and ice has the shadow of British history, the author has become an American, and the depth of discussion goes beyond the British background itself, such as the controversy caused by Queen Daenerys’ abolition of slavery in Miriam City.

　　After the TV series Game of Thrones is over, enthusiastic readers expect the sixth and seventh volumes of the novel to come out as soon as possible, and there is a new worry. What should they look forward to in the future?

　　From the release of the first film in The Lord of the Rings in 2001 to the end of the TV series Game of Thrones today, in the past 19 years, film and TV technology have promoted the development and popularization of serious fantasy novels, and even started to influence the story process of fantasy novels. Now, when these classic fantasy novels have been put on the screen, whether people will continue to pay attention to fantasy novels in the future and whether there will be world-class fantasy writers who are not native English speakers in the future will be the next literary highlights.

For the first time in history! Security Council to discuss potential threat of artificial intelligence

　　The reference news network reported on July 4. According to the Associated Press reported on July 3, the UN Security Council will hold its first meeting on the potential threat of artificial intelligence to international peace and security. The conference will be organized by Britain, which sees that the possible use of artificial intelligence in automatic weapons or nuclear weapons has both great potential and great risks.

　　According to reports, Barbara Woodward, Permanent Representative of Britain to the United Nations, announced on the 3rd that the meeting to be held on July 18th is the central topic of Britain’s rotating presidency of the Security Council this month. The conference will include briefings by international artificial intelligence experts and UN Secretary-General antonio guterres. Guterres said last month that the alarm about the most advanced form of artificial intelligence was "deafening" and the loudest voice came from its developers.

　　Guterres said: "These scientists and experts call on the whole world to take action, claiming that artificial intelligence is a threat to human survival, which is equivalent to the risk of nuclear war."

　　Guterres announced that he plans to appoint an artificial intelligence advisory Committee in September to prepare for possible actions by the United Nations. He also said that he would respond positively to the establishment of a new artificial intelligence agency by the United Nations, and suggested taking the International Atomic Energy Agency as a template, because the agency is knowledge-based and has certain supervision rights.

　　The report also said that Woodward said that Britain hopes to encourage "taking a multilateral approach to deal with the huge opportunities and risks brought by artificial intelligence to all of us" and "this will require global efforts".

　　She emphasized that the benefits are enormous because artificial intelligence has the potential to help the United Nations develop projects, improve humanitarian aid operations, assist peacekeeping operations and support conflict prevention. She also said: "This may help us narrow the gap between developing countries and developed countries."

　　But Woodward said that artificial intelligence also has serious security problems that must be solved. (Compile/Lu Di)

Is it really affordable or is there a trap？ Is free broadband really a good deal？

　　Handling a mobile phone number can not only make phone calls and send text messages, but also bind broadband accounts and get free broadband — — This "mobile phone package+free broadband" model sounds practical and cost-effective, and is favored by many consumers. Mr. Liu, a Shanghai citizen, chose a similar communication package. He told the author that the primary reason for his choice was "feeling very cost-effective".

　　However, some users said that without their knowledge, the free broadband that was handled a year ago began to be charged quietly, but it was difficult to cancel it. Is the "free broadband" package really affordable or is there a "trap"? What problems should consumers pay attention to when choosing this kind of business?

　　"Package" is not for everyone.

　　Data show that at the end of 2018, the number of fixed Internet broadband access users in China reached 407.38 million, an increase of 58.84 million over the end of last year. Free broadband and preferential packages vigorously promoted by major operators are indispensable. Operators seize market share through free broadband, which makes giving free broadband to mobile phone packages increasingly become a mainstream communication package type. However, when different consumers choose this kind of package, the experience is very different.

　　Yan wang, who lives in Zhengzhou, Henan Province, has been using a mobile phone to bind broadband services for three years. "The free broadband given in the mobile phone package is no problem to use, and the mode of automatic monthly payment also provides convenience for users." Yan wang said that when he first moved into his new home, he packed a set meal with the recommendation of the salesman. "Do broadband alone for a month to 40 yuan; Tied together, the telephone bill and broadband add up to 68 yuan every month, and I feel that the price is still very affordable. "

　　However, Cui Le, a junior at Wuhan University, is not satisfied with the same "free broadband" business. Under the propaganda of the communication company, Cui Le and several roommates handled a set meal together. However, after a period of use, Cui Le found that the given broadband service was not suitable for campus use: the database purchased by the school could not be used, and the teaching platform could not be logged in. But at the beginning of the business, no one told them that such problems might occur. After several months of continuous deduction, Cui Le and several roommates felt "lost" and had to go to the business hall at the same time to unsubscribe from the business and cancel their mobile phone numbers.

　　Be careful of "default automatic renewal"

　　The author’s investigation found that consumers’ dissatisfaction with the "mobile phone package+free broadband" model is mainly reflected in the following aspects:

　　Free broadband is difficult to meet the needs of specific groups. Like Cui Le, many students in school have been troubled by the incompatibility between free broadband and campus network, which leads to the helplessness of going to the library to "surf the internet" when there is broadband in the dormitory.

　　Most free broadband packages are automatically renewed by default, which is unreasonable for users who don’t want to use broadband continuously. Netizen "john young" vomited on the social network that his phone bill somehow rose to the monthly 300 yuan. Only after inquiring did he know that the free broadband he had received had expired, but the service did not terminate, but he continued to deduct money.

　　For users who want to unsubscribe, change packages or "port number transfer", the process is relatively troublesome. Xiao Zhang, who studied at the Central Academy of Fine Arts, applied to the operator for changing the lower tariff package in early 2018, but it has not been changed successfully so far. "The salesman first said on the phone that he would help me change it and take effect the next month, but then I found that the previous package had been automatically renewed for one year. To cancel the contract, I can only go to the business hall where the number belongs. My mobile phone number is from my hometown in Henan. It is impossible to go back from Beijing just to change the package. "

　　"port number transfer" forced operators

　　Can consumers avoid the above troubles while enjoying the preferential treatment? During the interview, Xu Li, a staff member of China Unicom, suggested that consumers should fully understand the package and contract before buying. "In order to avoid unnecessary troubles, users must carefully read the terms of the package contract before or during the handling of such bundled packages, and ask for early termination, ‘ Port number transfer ’ , due fees, etc., and then make a choice based on your own situation. " Xu Li said.

　　In response to the problem of automatic fee deduction, Liu Chunyan, an associate professor at Tongji University Law School, pointed out that mobile phone operators and users signed service contracts. If the operator does not inform the user and changes from free to charge, it is a unilateral change of the contract, which is a violation of the contract and constitutes a breach of contract. Furthermore, taking the form of automatic deduction unilaterally also infringes on the property rights of users, which constitutes infringement.

　　The promotion of "port number transfer" is also forcing major operators to improve network quality and service level as soon as possible. On May 21st, at the policy briefing in the State Council, Chen Zhaoxiong, Vice Minister of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, pointed out that users should be guaranteed to fully enjoy the rights and interests of "port number transfer" and ensure that "port number transfer" will be realized nationwide before November 30th this year, so as to truly "take the number in hand and leave when you say it".

　　Xu Li believes that "port number transfer" has brought great challenges to operators. "In the future, we will optimize the package and simplify the products from the user’s point of view." Yan wang said with emotion: "‘ Port number transfer ’ The times are coming, and operators should think more about how to make good products. Users should be informed of the package terms more transparently, instead of using ‘ Free broadband ’ Wait for the gimmick to tie the user. "

Indian media： American anti-China science and technology war is groundless and tantamount to self-destruction

　　India’s "QRIUS" website article on May 23, the original title: The US anti-China science and technology war is unfounded and tantamount to self-destruction. For American companies, financial giants, high-tech industries and consumers, President Biden’s expansion of the technology war is bad news. Over time, this will damage the Asian recovery and the global economic prospects.

　　Recently, the Biden administration sent two senior officials to "explain" that the United States is not seeking to decouple from China (in fact, the United States seems to be doing so). However, neither Finance Minister Yellen nor Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs Sullivan answered how Washington plans to restrict technology transfer and investment in China. This encourages the view that the new measures of the United States may harm investors and disrupt the world trading system. At the beginning of 2021, Anne Kruger, a former WTO economist, warned that the US practices were "bullying China in trade, foreign investment, cyberspace, e-commerce, intellectual property rights, the South China Sea, the Taiwan Strait and other matters." The U.S. measures (aimed at China’s suppression) have produced extensive and aimless negative effects, especially when the U.S. economy is teetering on the brink of recession. No matter what strategy the Biden administration adopts, the long-term economic challenges of the United States have just begun, and the war on science and technology will make the situation worse.

　　In addition to prohibiting American companies from making foreign investments in China’s technology enterprises, Biden’s administration is also trying to restrict the types of technologies sold in China. As high-end semiconductors become the initial focus, the restrictions will be extended to artificial intelligence, quantum computing, electric vehicles and rare earth metals; In short, those emerging industries in the future. Ironically, American companies and financial giants still want to cooperate with China, just as ordinary Americans want cheap and affordable goods.

　　For several weeks, Biden’s administration said that it would announce restrictions on investment in China with its American allies before the Group of Seven (G7) Hiroshima Summit. But it didn’t happen. On the contrary, it is only stated in the summit communique that G7 partners "stand together" in their respective aspects of China, but all member States will "act in accordance with national interests". Although the U.S. government tries to multilateralize misleading policies, it may be that only the United States will really implement such policies.

　　No matter how meager security benefits Biden administration hopes to gain from preventing American investment and international recognition of China’s technology enterprises, these benefits may be offset by the huge collateral damage caused by the new restrictions in the United States and the world. Over time, these restrictions will also prevent Americans from learning from China technology companies — — Many of them are at or near the top of the technology field.

　　Washington’s technical restrictions (aimed at China) will punish American enterprises, investors and consumers over time, undermine global recovery and drag American allies into geopolitical stagnation, and suffer huge losses due to missed opportunities. This is the wrong action at the wrong time.

Customers buy more than 10,000 yuan graphics cards online but receive bricks and mineral water？ Merchant response

　　Jimu journalist Liu Xiaobin

　　Mr. Du from Shenyang, Liaoning spent 15,288 yuan to buy a video card through the idle fish platform, but received a brick and a bottle of water. On April 10th, the staff of the graphics card seller responded to a journalist who had a dispute with Mr. Du in a previous online transaction. The money has been returned but has not yet been returned. Mr. Du’s second card purchase is still on the platform. Because of fear of loss, he gave a brick and a bottle of water this time.

　　The video circulating on the Internet shows that at a railing with barbed wire, a woman handed a paper box from under the barbed wire, and a man opened it on the spot. There was a packaged object and a bottle of water in the box. In the video, the man said that the packaged object was a brick.

　　On the afternoon of April 10th, Jimu journalist contacted Mr. Du, the publisher of the video. He introduced that he lives in Huanggu District, Shenyang City, Liaoning Province. On April 2, he paid 15,288 yuan on the idle fish platform and bought a graphics card at an online store with an address in Xuanwu District, Nanjing City, Jiangsu Province, ready to install it on the computer to play games. At 4 o’clock on the afternoon of April 9, he went downstairs to get the parcel, opened it in front of the courier, and found that it was not a graphics card, but a brick and a bottle of water.

　　Video screenshot

　　Mr. Du told Jimu journalist that at the end of March, he saw an advertisement on the Internet saying that a new graphics card was to be listed. It happened that he needed it. On March 29th, he placed an order on the idle fish platform and paid 15,490 yuan for it. Later, after receiving the goods, he felt that he didn’t meet his requirements, so he proposed to replace a product. He had many conversations with the seller in the middle. On the afternoon of April 9, before receiving the new express, he received the last payment of 15,300 yuan returned by the platform. For this matter, Mr. Wei, a staff member of the seller of the video card, told the Jimu journalist that the courier containing bricks and water was indeed sent through them, but there was a dispute with the buyer in the last online transaction.

　　Mr. Wei introduced that at the end of March, Mr. Du paid more than 15,000 yuan to buy a graphics card. At that time, he had clearly told Mr. Du that the graphics card "will not be returned once it is sold, unless there are quality problems", but after Mr. Du received the graphics card, he asked for a return. After the return, he also asked for more than 100 yuan less, so the two sides had a dispute. Mr. Wei said that in repeated communication, Mr. Du spent another 15,288 yuan to buy a graphics card.

　　"The price of graphics card is different every day, sometimes the price difference is relatively large, and the price loss and courier fee will need to be borne by the seller. For the first time, the loss of that graphics card was about 800 yuan, and I was angry. In addition, I did not receive the first graphics card returned by Mr. Du at that time. I was worried that the loss would be even greater and I had to deliver the goods as scheduled, so I delivered a brick and a bottle of water. " Mr. Wei said that this matter is more complicated and there are reasons for it.

　　On the afternoon of April 9, Mr. Du didn’t sign for the express delivery, and he has asked the express delivery company to return it, and Mr. Du has complained about this to the idle fish platform.

Japanese media： Fukushima nuclear pollution water discharge into the sea is likely to officially begin at the end of August.

BEIJING, August 7 (Xinhua)-According to a report by Japan’s Asahi Shimbun on the 6th, several Japanese government sources revealed that the Japanese government plans to formally decide the date of discharging Fukushima nuclear polluted water into the sea after the US-Japan-ROK summit on August 18th, and the sewage discharge into the sea may start at the end of August at the earliest.

　　It is reported that Japanese Prime Minister kishida fumio plans to attend the US-Japan-ROK summit in the United States on August 18th, during which he will meet separately with US President Biden and South Korean President Yin Xiyue.

　　According to the report, Kishida plans to explain the plan of discharging nuclear polluted water from Fukushima to the sea during the meeting, and hold a meeting of relevant cabinet members after returning to Japan to formally determine the date of discharging the sea.

　　Officials from the Japanese Prime Minister’s official residence revealed that it will take at least a week before the date of sea discharge is decided and the sea discharge is officially started.

　　According to the analysis of sources, the Japanese government has repeatedly stressed that it will start the sea discharge plan in the summer of 2023. At the same time, Fukushima Prefecture will lift the ban on bottom trawling in September, and the Japanese government is trying to avoid delaying the sea discharge time until September. Based on this, it is very likely that the sea discharge plan will officially start at the end of August.

　　Japan’s forced discharge of pollutants into the sea has aroused strong opposition at home and abroad.

　　On July 31, local time, citizen groups of Japan and South Korea held a protest rally in front of the Japanese Prime Minister’s residence in Tokyo, opposing the Japanese government and Tokyo Electric Power Company’s plan to push nuclear pollution water into the sea.

　　On July 19th, Haruhiko Terazawa, head of the Miyagi Fishery Association of Japan, expressed strong opposition to the discharge of nuclear polluted water into the sea, saying that this would inevitably have a negative impact on Japanese fisheries.

　　South Korean parliamentarian Zhu Zhexuan said a few days ago: "There are other ways besides discharging the sea. Just because the cost of discharging the sea is the lowest. " He also stressed: "It is absolutely impossible to pollute the ocean as the source of life and affect other countries."

　　The Malaysian People’s Party recently submitted a memorandum urging the Japanese government to cancel the plan of discharging nuclear polluted water into the sea and find other ways to deal with it.

　　Kalinga Senaviratne, consultant of the news project of Fiji South Pacific University, said that the Japanese practice has damaged the living environment of Pacific island countries.

　　China’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning said recently that the legitimacy, legality and safety of the Japanese plan to discharge nuclear polluted water into the sea have been questioned by the international community. No matter how the Japanese side whitewashes the wrongs, it can’t "bleach" the plan to expel the sea. Protests from neighboring countries and doubts from all walks of life in Japan are all evidence. China urges Japan to face up to the legitimate concerns of the international community and domestic people, stop pushing the plan of discharging the sea, fully communicate with neighboring countries in a sincere manner, effectively dispose of nuclear polluted water in a responsible manner, and accept international supervision.
