The widespread penetration and rapid development of digital technologies have posed unprecedented challenges to global economic, social, and cultural structures, prompting in-depth discussions within academia and society on the issue of ″digital colonialism.″ Previous studies on ″digital colonialism″ have focused on aspects such as technological control and economic dominance, calling for new theoretical perspectives to establish a comprehensive and multi-dimensional analytical framework. Within the postcolonial theoretical framework, ″digital colonialism″ shares structural similarities with postcolonialism in terms of economic exploitation, cultural alienation, and the construction of the ″Other,″ signifying a new paradigm of global cultural and economic control. Postcolonial theory provides a theoretical framework and methodology for interpreting ″digital colonialism,″ emphasizing the value of indigenous cultures and offering theoretical tools for China to identify and reflect on marginalized voices within the context of globalization. A multi-dimensional research approach helps to understand the essence of digital colonialism, promote equitable global development of information technologies, and construct an open, inclusive, and diverse digital civilization ecosystem.

High quality development has become the primary task of comprehensively building a modern socialist country. Further research on the influencing factors and laws of high quality development is an important theoretical and practical issue at present. Based on the provincial-level panel data from 2000 to 2021, this study constructs fixed effect models, threshold effect models, and mediating effect models. Findings show that the level of factor marketization can promote high quality economic development. Specifically, it promotes innovative development, but has an inhibitory effect on coordinated development, mainly on industrial structure coordination and urban-rural coordination. Geographically, the level of factor marketization in the eastern, central, and northeastern regions has promoted high quality economic development, mainly promoting innovative development, while the level of factor marketization in the eastern region has suppressed coordinated development. Horizontally, there is a threshold effect in the level of factor marketization, which significantly promotes high quality economic development and innovative development after crossing the threshold value, but is not conducive to coordinated development. Factor marketization, through its promotion of economic growth, provides a material basis for solving urban-rural income inequality and environmental problems, but its indirect promotion of coordinated urban-rural development is offset by its direct inhibitory effect, and its indirect promotion of green development is ″covered″ by its direct inhibitory effect. The level of factor marketization suppresses the sharing level between provinces. The study conclusion contributes to mechanism research of the impact of marketization on high quality economic development, to better understanding the laws of high quality economic development, and to the promotion of market-oriented construction to assist the high quality development of China’s economy.

Modern society, which boasts of ″science, technology, and progress″, has surpassed countless previous eras, achieving modern progress and creating a nightmare for modern people as well. In a society filled with escalating conflicts and tensions, a new form of teenage suicide has emerged—digital suicide. ″Blue Whale Challenge″ is a representative of digital suicide games, which is based on psychological technology and designs a series of ″psychological trapping″ mechanisms. The Blue Whale games use system desensitization technology to increase the fear threshold of self-harm among teenagers, increase the pain threshold through self-harm practice, endow death with worship meaning through cognitive reshaping, and use rewards and threats to kidnap teenagers in virtual cages and complete suicide missions. The essence of adolescent suicide is that family conflicts and interpersonal dilemmas caused by conflicts in modern society are difficult to reconcile with individual adolescents. Teenagers find it difficult to coordinate their conflicting ″self experiences″ and ″external experiences,″ which leads to low self-esteem, low values, and a sense of life meaninglessness. Therefore, the countermeasures against online suicide games require the joint participation of society, schools, and families.

Directed by Xin Shuang, The Long Season is set against the backdrop of the restructuring of China′s old industrial regions in the 1990s. Through an unsolved case, it interweaves the fates of different groups of people during the transition period, presenting a tragic picture of individuals struggling and traumatised by their existential dilemmas, and their misplaced values amid drastic societal changes. The social connotation of individual destiny and historical transformations expressed in the drama is illuminated by the theory of ″individualisation″ by German sociologist Ulrich Beck and the concept of ″modern tragedy″ by British cultural theorist Raymond Williams. Drawing on Sun Liping′s theory of ″transformation and rupture″, The Long Season reveals, in the form of a suspenseful narrative, the phenomenon of the ″founding generation″ in the process of Chinese ″individualization″: on the one hand, the separation of the individual from the unitary system, and on the other hand, the reintegration of the founding generation in the absence of a corresponding social support system. This unique process of ″individualization″ has led to a rupture in identity formation and a crisis of mental trauma, which emerges in the narrative through the death and revenge of the ″second generation″. Through the narrative strategy of suspense, the ″second generation″ retrospectively review their own growing-up experience, inadvertently touching on the hidden aspects of the transformation of the era in the 1990s, and displaying the process of ″non-individualistic individualization″ of this generation.

Facing the memory crisis caused by the successive passing of Nanjing Massacre survivors and the dwindling number of living historical witnesses, the responsibility for sustaining and disseminating survivors′ memories has gradually shifted to their descendants. Due to the political situation and the ″unspeakable″ nature of the trauma, survivors remained silent about their traumatic memories for a long time until the 1980s, when the status of the Nanjing Massacre agenda was elevated. At the same time, the survivors′ active narratives catalyzed the internal transmission of massacre memories within their families. Through survivors′ oral testimonies and physical presence, supplemented by spatial sites and memorial installations beyond family settings, traumatic memories have been increasingly transmitted and embedded in the memories of their descendants. In this context, survivors′ traumatic memories constitute the cornerstone of their descendants′ autobiographical memory narratives, while the descendants achieve boundary expansion and re-contextualization of survivors′ memories through the collaborative shaping of multiple memory narratives.

Currently, disciplinary inspection and supervision agencies are facing many challenges such as a sharp increase in the number of cases and the demand of high-quality handling of cases. Empowering the disciplinary inspection and supervision agencies with artificial intelligence is a crucial method and means for seizing opportunities and addressing challenges. Artificial intelligence technology has played a conspicuous role in the panoramic management of disciplinary inspection and supervision cases, tracking case clues, improving prevention effectiveness, and intelligent analysis of similar case handling information. However, the legal risks caused by artificial intelligence technology need to be urgently addressed, including the objectivity of results affected by shortage of information data and algorithmic defects, erosion of the exclusive nature of supervisory power due to the dependence of investigators on technology, and challenge of the traditional disciplinary inspection and supervision accountability mechanisms due to algorithmic decision-making biases. Therefore, measures should be taken to improve the use of artificial intelligence to assist disciplinary inspection and supervision in handling cases, including promoting centralized and unified data resources, improving algorithm security and transparency, constructing a reasonable labor division mechanism of ″human-machine coupling″, improving the technical level of disciplinary inspection and supervision agencies, and clarifying the boundaries and allocation of human-machine responsibilities.

Michel Foucault and Agnes Heller were both prominent philosophers in the second half of the 20th century. The former had a profound impact on the latter′s theoretical transformation, specifically presented in the dimensions of biopolitics and ethical aesthetics. Foucault′s later thought exhibited a clear ethical turn. He included self-care in the prescription for addressing the crisis of modernity and creatively introduced the concept of ″existential aesthetics,″ thereby generating an aesthetics-infused self-ethics. Heller associated biopolitics with ethical issues, placing particular emphasis on Foucault′s self-care theory. She proposed a personal ethics that focused on individual autonomous choice, emphasized the subject′s sensual practice of emotional management, and identified beauty as the inherent content of ethics rather than mere decoration. From Foucault′s existential aesthetics to Heller′s personal-ethical aesthetics, both focused on the sensuous modes of ethical subjectivity, providing an important aesthetic path for the reconstruction of ethical subjects. They also offered a new opportunity for paradigmatic transformation in the bidirectional interaction between contemporary ethics and aesthetics, jointly advancing the ethical turn in contemporary aesthetics.

Intelligent discipline inspection is not only to meet the needs of power supervision in the digital age, but also to adapt to the national anti-corruption goal. Compared with digital supervision, the concept of intelligent discipline inspection and supervision emphasizes the use of intelligent technology and the humanistic care shown by technology. At present, the intelligent discipline inspection and supervision shows the practice pattern of workflow type, early warning analysis type and auxiliary case handling type, the essence of which is to build an integrated, accurate, element-oriented and holographic discipline inspection and supervision system. However, the intelligent discipline inspection and supervision also presents the imbalance of the relationship between technology and system in the institutional dimension, the expansion effect of supervision power in the power dimension, the deconstruction of supervision procedures in the procedural dimension, and the closed problem of algorithmic technology in the technical dimension. In the future, the intelligent discipline inspection and supervision should clearly define the framework for the innovation of the discipline inspection system and mechanism promoted by technology empowerment and the ″technology-driving + legal guidance″, and construct the system in a dual way of wisdom and rule of law. Specifically, it includes improving the intelligent discipline inspection and supervision normative system at the institutional level, reshaping the relationship between power and rights of the intelligent discipline inspection and supervision at the power level, controlling the technology application process in the procedural aspect, and promoting the responsiveness and responsibility of algorithmic technology at the algorithmic level.

Urban social resilience is an important component of urban resilience. In contrast to the resilience of key urban facilities, the formation of social resilience requires more complex cross-boundary activities. The social governance reform guided by collaborative governance aims to enhance society′s capacity to mitigate and respond to risks from the perspective of overall national security. Urban social resilience governance needs to adapt to the characteristics of risk dispersion by conducting boundary connections and joint actions between government and society, among public sectors, and between online and offline domains to enhance social resilience. Boundary communication, boundary organizations, and boundary objects effectively reconcile the differences among actors. By leveraging digital technologies, diverse social entities can establish routine partnerships and generate multiple autonomous response networks under the activation of sudden emergencies. This meets the needs of addressing various types of social risks. Boundary perspective analysis elaborates the formation process of social resilience and provides a richer toolkit for urban resilience governance.

Artificial intelligence algorithms significantly shape discretion in grassroots governance. Automated, predictive, and generative algorithms each uniquely impact grassroots discretion. While automated algorithms may weaken discretion, predictive and generative algorithms can enhance decision-making capacity, albeit with new challenges. Further analysis shows that the impact of algorithms on grassroots discretion is complex, being moderated by individual cognition, organizational system, and organizational culture. At the individual cognitive level, grassroots staff may depend on or counter algorithms due to algorithmic or cognitive biases. At the organizational system level, the separation of algorithmic decision-making and execution affects autonomy, but internal feedback and supervision mechanisms help sustain discretion. At the organizational culture level, the control-oriented culture may restrict discretion, while an autonomy-oriented culture may enhance governance capabilities.

Aesthetic philosophy of time is one of the most important dimensions in aesthetics. The core of Marxist aesthetic time philosophy is the aesthetic temporality of a communist life. The revolution of Marxist aesthetics in Western aesthetics is primarily the revolution of aesthetic temporality. Starting from this, they regarded aesthetic wealth as one of the forms of wealth, restored and criticized the capitalist time system and time exploitation as the main forms of aesthetic wealth distribution inequality, and used communist aesthetic life as a timely basis for future social construction. From the perspective of restoration, they conducted field investigations into the actual situations of work and life among the working class, preserved these conditions through the lenses of interpersonal aesthetics and work aesthetics, and obtained first-hand materials. From a critical perspective, they argue that the root of the capitalist time system lies in private ownership, and the exploitation of aesthetic wealth is primarily based on time exploitation. In terms of construction, they criticized the asceticism of religion and capitalism based on the communist aesthetic time system, especially the relationship between the free time system and aesthetic life, and depicted a beautiful blueprint.

The proposal and practice of the ″Resilient Cities″ concept have driven the evolution and renewal of urban disaster response strategies. A resilience-based urban disaster response strategy recognizes both the importance of ″robust″ measures and the uncertainty of disasters while seeking to establish a dynamic and compatible disaster perception model. This approach alleviates many issues associated with traditional ″high-confrontation″ strategies. Given the multifaceted important role of emergency rescue force construction in enhancing urban resilience, its concept should be updated based on ″resilience″ and advanced through institutionalized means. The resilience-oriented construction of emergency rescue forces is reflected in the pursuit of robustness, redundancy, and recoverability. Specific pathways for institutionalization include: strengthening the planning of emergency rescue force construction, particularly by clarifying the division of labor mechanisms among various forces; facilitating autonomous cooperation channels and obligatory complementary mechanisms among these forces; and enhancing evaluation mechanisms for the effectiveness of emergency rescue force construction.

In recent years, as precarity in China′s economic environment has intensified, people have become increasingly eager to build a sense of reliance and continuity in the everyday crises. Closely tied to precarious experiences, the ″1990s″ has emerged as a popular theme in China′s cultural and academic fields. Beyond literature and film, video games have also become a new medium participating in this wave of nostalgia. Retro nostalgia games like Bad Kids mediate the figure of the ″Child Flâneur,″ which simultaneously serves as a game avatar, a nostalgic paradigm, and a mode of adaption. Its repertoires of ″finding joy in hardship″ and ″turning over a new leaf″ evoke two contrasting imaginations of everyday life: one that critically seeks to master and redefine everydayness amid precarity, and another that finds security through a conservative return to conventions and ideologies. The dialectical tension between these two gestures suggests that as the middle-class ideal of a ″good life″ becomes increasingly unattainable under the new normal, nostalgia serves as both a response to and an adaptation to the anxieties and uncertainties in the historical present.

Marx′s political science is linked to the Party and discipline education activities through the concept of ″principled politics″, that is, as a Marxist party, the Communist Party of China adheres to the two major principles provided by Marx′s political theory in its discipline education activities: one is to solve the alienation from one′s own specific humanity from the perspective of practical materialism; the other is to bridge the contradiction between the universality of the state and the privacy of individuals from the perspective of state-society relations. From the perspective of the two core propositions of Marx′s political science—practice and alienation, the Party′s discipline construction and discipline education are fundamentally a kind of ideological practice and political practice pointing to communism. It originates, in the process of modernization, from the clear understanding and accurate grasp of the Communist Party members as real people and the Communist Party organizations they constitute. In essence, it intends to overcome atomization through organization, overcome privateness with publicness, and bridge the gap between special interests and common interests.

Since the second half of the 20th century, the study of the history of the War of Resistance against Japan in the English-language scholarly community has undergone a series of changes, from the traditional fields of revolutionary history and political history to the detailed examination of military history and social history, as well as grassroots Sino-American relations. At the same time, the global study of the history of the War of Resistance against Japan in English has also benefited from the discovery and compilation of English historical materials from various places. In addition to the military history of the Anti-Japanese War and the re-examination of the history of Sino-American relations, the new trend of the study of the history of the Anti-Japanese War in the English-language academic community since the beginning of the 21st century is mainly reflected in the relevant research on the social history of the War and the history of daily life such as refugees, suffering, women, children, and wartime medical care. Moreover, databases represented by the ″Anti-Japanese War Literature Data Platform″ have sorted out a large number of rare English newspapers and archives of the War in recent years, laying a solid foundation for the study of the history of the War of Resistance against Japan.

The various risks arising from acute urban events and the chronic impacts of ″big city diseases″ have significantly increased the pressure on communities on the front line of modern urban risk governance, compelling urban communities to seek more effective response measures. The application of digital intelligence technology expands the perception capabilities, application scenarios, and practice modes of community risk and resilience governance, and demonstrates effects such as simulation, scale, turbine-like, emergence, and correlation. In the digital intelligence era, from both practical and theoretical perspectives, the decision-makers, administrators, and participants of community risk governance urgently need to grasp the overall framework of digital intelligence empowerment for urban community risk resilience governance based on internal and external driving mechanisms, emergency operation mechanisms, capability enhancement mechanisms, and resource guarantee mechanisms. The focus should be on building an integrated community risk prevention and control system, expanding multi-dimensional community emergency response applications, fostering a multi-dimensional community security resilience ecosystem, and enhancing comprehensive community risk intelligence capabilities.

China′s modernity is closely related to a new sense of time. Photography, due to its inherent temporality, has become a medium for modern intellectuals to expand their visual boundaries and integrate into the global ″advanced″ cultural system. In the early 20^th century, a group of amateur photographers in Shanghai launched a new vision movement, bringing about the sprout of the Chinese photography modernism. They showed a clear scientific consciousness, questioned the standard of ″Pictorialism″ in the classical period of photography, and turned to explore the ontology of photography. Modernist photography has undergone the localization in transnational travel, becoming a link between the pursuit of personal subjectivity and the narrative of national survival, and constructing people′s cultural imagination of national competition and modern urban life.

Unlike the legal norms and departmental legislative power established on the basis of traditional rule of law theory, the power to formulate supervisory regulations has been deeply shaped by the party and government system. The joint office system, request for instructions and report mechanism and high-level promotion mechanism under the party and government system have shaped the ″dual attribute of law and government″ of the right to formulate supervision laws and regulations, and shaped the supervision laws and regulations as the institutional existence in the self revolutionary system of the CPC, the compatibility system rules for assuming the functions of party building, and the core link between the rule of law and the rule of the Party in the anti-corruption field. From the perspective of shaping logic, the shaping of the power of the party and government system to formulate supervisory regulations can be divided into three logics, namely, the process shaping led by the request and report mechanism, the conceptual shaping driven by the high-level promotion mechanism, and the organizational shaping based on the joint office system, achieving the unity of the Party′s political leadership, ideological leadership, and organizational leadership. The above-mentioned shaping of the party and government system has created a series of practical difficulties for the operation of the power to formulate supervisory regulations, mainly reflected in the complexity of the basis for the operation of the power to formulate supervisory regulations and its authority dilemma, the closed nature of the operation process and its procedural dilemma, the joint nature and effectiveness dilemma of the operation subject, the specificity of the operation goal and its supervision dilemma. The fundamental way to resolve the above-mentioned difficulties relies on the party and government system, adhering to the leadership of the Party, optimizing the formulation authority, operational procedures, effectiveness levels, and supervision system of supervisory regulations, so as to demonstrate the ″autonomous approach to the construction of China′s anti-corruption regulatory system″.

The institutional evolution of intra-party peer supervision of the Communist Party of China can be divided into four stages, namely, from imitating the supervisory committee system of the Communist Party of Russia (Bolsheviks) to the discipline inspection function created by the establishment of the Central Review Committee and the Central Party Affairs Committee of the CPC, to the establishment of the Party′s internal supervision institutions under the Party committees at all levels throughout the Party, and to the reconstruction of the Supervisory Committee in 1955 and the continuous strengthening of the supervision power over the party committees at the same level. Historical development shows that there exists a corresponding tension between the system of mutual supervision at the same level and democratic centralism. After the Third Plenary Session of the 11th Central Committee of the Party, the Party Central Committee rebuilt the Discipline Inspection Commission and continuously strengthened its dual leadership system, giving the Discipline Inspection Commission a dual identity and creating two levels of connotation of mutual supervision at the same level. Since the 18th CPC National Congress, the CPC Central Committee has solved the problem of mutual supervision at the same level on the basis of democratic centralism and the basic system of intra-Party political life through the construction of the intra-Party supervision system, the hierarchical responsibility system of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, and the strengthening of supervision over the ″top leader″ and the leadership team, and has built a more dense and more restrictive cooperative power supervision system. The development process of the intra-Party mutual supervision system from exogenous to endogenous has demonstrated its lasting liveliness and vitality, and also demonstrated the superiority of the power supervision system with Chinese characteristics.

In the Paris Manuscripts, Marx explored the path from human nature to aesthetic liberation. This dimension of aesthetic-political emancipation has found strong resonance in the thought of contemporary philosopher and aesthetician Jacques Rancière. Marx posited that human essence lies in free and conscious life, and that the objectification of human essence represents the objectifying activity of all human life forces, embodying the freedom and joy of life. From the perspective of sensory liberation, the realization of communism, defined as the comprehensive emancipation of human free life activities, also constitutes a form of aesthetic liberation. Rancière, however, diverges from Marx by extending the notion of sensory deprivation caused by alienated labor to encompass the unequal sensory distribution imposed by society upon the ″part of those that have no part″. He further concretizes Marx′s concept of species-being liberation by reinterpreting it as the aesthetic liberation of the oppressed within social hierarchies. Through his inheritance and development of Marx′s early theories on sensory and aesthetic liberation, Rancière, as a reader of the Paris Manuscripts, has effectively modernized and contextualized Marx′s dimension of aesthetic-political emancipation.

This article provides an in-depth textual interpretation of Mo Yan′s novels, revealing the complex attitudes of farmers in the Jiaodong Peninsula towards the impact of modernity over the 20th century since the Anti-German War: drawing resources from local cultural traditions, seeking and obtaining the true essence of ″folk music″, and achieving positive creative results between the modernity and localization of literature. To create a new Chinese style sensory fiction with a rich and unfamiliar sensory description, to resist the harm of asceticism to human nature, as well as the alienation of human nature caused by capitalist instrumentalism, and to treat ″one-dimensional people″. Amidst the ups and downs of modernity, we pour out the suffering of farmers and the decline of rural areas, and focus more on shaping the image of ″ruthless people″ in rural areas, playing the final swan song for the heroism of farmers.

For a long time, the study of modern visual media technologies, represented by film, television, and digital archives, has often fallen into the trap of a linear view of history centered on media perception and temporal experience of humanity: The history of visual technology development is frequently viewed as a continuous and homogeneous narrative of progress. However, with the rise of the discourse around archives in the late 20th century and the increasing normalization of archival practices, visual media technologies are no longer seen as passive carriers of text and symbols but are recognized as having their generative capacities. This shift has introduced a materialist perspective to visual studies that moves away from anthropocentric approaches. Media archaeologists who hold archives in high regard employ archival theory as a method to emphasize the discontinuities, contingencies, and similarities caused by the lag in human sensory perception among the three modern visual media technologies. At the same time, from the perspective of visual archives, they highlight the disintegration and reconfiguration of traditional archival theories and storage spaces against the backdrop of technological transitions from analog to electronic and digital.

Attaching great importance to discipline construction is a fine tradition and distinctive feature of the CPC, and is of great significance for strengthening the unity of the Party and consolidating its long-term ruling position. As a fundamental strategy for comprehensively and strictly governing the Party in the new era, the Party′s discipline construction has achieved significant results. The results of the structural equation model analysis indicate that improving the scientificity of the formulation of party rules, strengthening party discipline education, and strictly promoting discipline enforcement and supervision have a positive effect on the effectiveness of the Party′s discipline construction. In the new era and new journey, we must always adhere to the concept of full-cycle management, and promote the Party′s discipline formulation, discipline education, enforcement and supervision in the same direction and comprehensive force, so as to form a completely closed loop of the Party′s discipline construction to continuously enhance its effectiveness.

Henri Lefebvre′s early and mid-period critique of everyday life focuses on two central themes, with the ″revolutionary vision of restoring the aesthetic essence″ constituting the core objective of his theory of human liberation. The recovery of the richness and totality of everyday life through momentary practice most exemplifies the poetic and creative dimensions of Lefebvre′s critique. However, this conception is not mystical or abstract but rather tangible and specific. It is only within Lefebvre′s framework of ″rediscovering true Marxism″ that the relationship between the ″revolutionary conception of transforming the moral order″ and the ″revolutionary vision of restoring the aesthetic essence″ can be fully understood. The former relies on agents of social-historical transformation, while the latter is rooted in authentic individuals within everyday life, drawing its substance from the materials provided by daily existence. The ″revolutionary vision of restoring the aesthetic essence″ is essentially a path towards human liberation, where individuals continually transcend their alienation and ultimately achieve unity between man and society. Lefebvre proposes two paths to liberation: the Sisyphus-like path, where alienation is progressively overcome in everyday life through the accumulation of knowledge and experience, bringing one closer to the ideal of the ″total man″; and the Dionysian path, where, in moments of festivity or special instances, the alienated aspects of the self are reintegrated.

In the digital era, China′s digital news producers include three basic types of media: public media, commercial media, and personal media; public media consists of traditional media, government media, and other public media; the three types of subjects are not completely closed, and there exists an impetus for mutual transformation among them. Because of the fundamental differences in the goal-setting of the three types of media, the uniqueness of the digital news system from other social systems lies in the fact that ″news is used to make things happen″, which is different from the traditional media′s claim that ″news naturally serves the community″ during the period of mass communication. The new actors in digital journalism work at the interface of a blending of reality and virtualization, with their own characteristics of news production. In order to do a good job of news and public opinion work, in the future, we should introduce multiple subjects, especially new actors outside the traditional media, into journalism research as ″key variables″, so as to give equal importance to both professional news and everyday life news, and pay special attention to the relationship between the two and the mechanism of mutual transformation, and endeavour to promote the professionalisation of everyday life news.

Previous studies of facial representation have mainly focused on static faces, with one approach being the analysis of the power mechanisms underlying the shaping and production of facial images. Currently, the relationship between digital faces and real faces is becoming increasingly strained, and the faces of the vulnerable are at risk of disintegration. ″The faceless″ refers to individuals who have lost control over their faces. They are horrified to find that their faces are being appropriated, distorted, and obscured in the digital realm. The disintegration of faces in the digital age is a result of the pervasive visual regimes driven by digital media technologies. The various forms of resistance by ″the faceless″—expressing genuine emotions to reclaim their faces, suspending technological mediation to restore their faces, and wearing digital masks to conceal their faces—pose both a challenge and a critique to these visual regimes. The face signifies the individual's position of subjectivity in social relations and interactions. When the face is vibrant, visible, and autonomous, ″the faceless″ will regain their subjectivity and reclaim their freedom and dignity.

Through interactive narratives, AI literature reconstructs the creative paradigm of traditional literature, whose core value lies in transcending the anthropocentric model of literary production. In the era of digital intelligence, AI literature adopts the theoretical framework of ″silicon-based socialism″, redefining the symbiotic relationship between carbon-based intelligence and silicon-based intelligence, thus endowing literary creation with new characteristics driven by data logic. This innovative literary form not only surpasses traditional literature’s limitations in textualizing human experiences, but also dissolves the subject-object dichotomy inherent in conventional literary frameworks by constructing ″virtual entities″ and ″prosthetic constructs″. AI literature reshapes the egalitarian dynamics of human-machine interactions, and facilitates the emergence of a new type of human-machine community through an intersubjective communicative paradigm. This transformation involves not merely formal innovations within literature, but also profoundly interrogates existing boundaries of human subjectivity, cultural diversity, and social ethics.

This paper mainly takes some memoirs and oral materials of history published since the new century as the primary sources to reexamine three types of narratives about the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression from three dimensions: the personalized narrative of suffering, the narrative of cultural-oriented resistance against Japanese invasion, and the historical reflection transcending the boundaries of nation-states. From the perspective of life stories and life experiences of individuals, it intends to interpret how the Chinese intellectuals, students and the common people personally experienced, witnessed and reflected on the collective experiences and national traumas caused by the Anti-Japanese War. Furthermore, it attempts to discuss the contents presented in these memoirs and oral materials from multiple perspectives, including those of individual and state, history and memory, experience and rationality, nationalism and humanism.

Modern technology has transformed pre-modern linear time into accelerated or rapid time, making the speed dimension and dynamic mechanism of time important aspects of modernity. Drawing on phenomenology, Rosa replaces abstract time with perceptible time and identifies the essence of modern society as acceleration in the temporal aspect. He addresses various aesthetic issues in the age of acceleration from the perspective of changes in the perceptual relationship between humans and the world. The new acceleration model disrupts the original depiction of the perceptual connection between the subject and the world as portrayed by phenomenology, thereby altering the subject's experience of existence in the world. Faced with perceptual alienation and the de-temporalization of life caused by acceleration, Rosa proposes sensory resonance based on phenomenological embodiment, offering a potential aesthetic solution to the issues arising from social acceleration.

The new quality productive forces provide new ideas and solutions for preventing and resolving the economic risks of deindustrialization. These ideas and solutions show a high degree of consistency in the internal logic in the five dimensions of underlying logic, driving engine, internal requirements, practice bottom line and key driving force. They all take human-oriented connotation as the development concept, scientific and technological innovation as the development driving force, stable proportion of manufacturing as the development goal, autonomy and controllability, safety and reliability as the development principles, and industrial iteration as the development path. The new productive forces prevent and resolve product risks by improving the independent, controllable, safe and reliable industrial chain and supply chain capabilities; cultivate opportunities to prevent and resolve factor risks by accelerating manufacturing technology innovation, capital accumulation and creating entrepreneurial talents; prevent and resolve market risks by creating ″structural dividends″ and narrowing the income gap; and prevent and resolve foreign exchange risks by improving the production capacity and competitiveness of industrial products. Development of new quality productivity can form high-level scientific and technological self-reliance, high-quality capital, and ″four-understanding″ strategic entrepreneurial talents, accelerate the construction of a unified national market and actively integrate into the international market, and achieve the goal of a strong manufacturing country.

From the beginning of the 20th century to the 1920s and 1930s, evolutionary theory became increasingly dominant in Chinese literary studies. However, many scholars questioned and challenged the concept of ″evolution″. In the early 1920s, Mei Guangdi, Hu Xiansu, Zhang Shizhao, Liang Qichao, and Qian Jibo expressed doubts about the evolution of literature, arguing that the assumption that the latter is superior to the former and that vernacular is superior to classical is not valid. Later, Lu Jiye proposed the ″metamorphosis theory″ of literature, asserting that literature is neither evolutionary nor degenerative but only metamorphic. In addition to ″metamorphosis″, other literary history narrative modes such as ″transformation″, ″flux″, and ″developmental trajectory″, which differed from ″evolution″, also emerged. These narrative modes challenged the mainstream concept of literary evolution, yet they maintained complex relations with it. This historical segment of 20th-century literary studies offers valuable insights for the methodological reflection of contemporary literary research.

Unlike any other events and battles of the Anti-Japanese War, the Nanjing Massacre was an atrocity committed by Japanese soldiers against civilians and a crime against humanity. It should be remembered in human history like the Holocaust against Jews committed by Nazi Germany, which has received worldwide concerns for 80 years. Poetic justice is more profound than legal justice. In the contemporary narratives of the Nanjing Massacre, the novels of YE Zhaoyan, FANG Wei and HA Jin, as well as the documentary of ZHANG Chunru, employ different narrative forms and exhibit different writing styles, but all point to the ultimate and unending question of human destiny or condition revealed by Malraux and Arendt.

Sun Yu′s last film was the drama film Qin Niangmei, which has long been ignored by film historians. The movie Qin Niangmei was adapted from the Qian drama Qin Niangmei, which was born from the Dong oral art ZhuLang NiangMei. Director Sun Yu omitted the storyline of the heroine in ZhuLang NiangMei in the second half of her life, such as remarrying and having children. The film Qin Niangmei reflects the mutual interaction and coupling of Dong culture and Han culture, as well as the director′s romantic spirit and folk aesthetic preference. It shows the director′s continuous exploration of poetic national style and his persistent pursuit of idyllic paradise, folk spirit, and rural femininity. The intermediality of the film Qin Niangmei reflects the director′s artistic ideal of attempting to bridge the boundaries between poetry, music, dance, drama, and cinema. The gains and shortcomings of the movie Qin Niangmei reveal the tension between Sun Yu′s later artistic pursuits and the emotional structure of the ″Seventeen Years″ cinema.

Large-model self-driving cars, compared with other products or traditional vehicles, possess deep autonomous learning capabilities and independent driving will, which is revolutionary in criminal law. When Large-model autonomous vehicles are involved in product negligence crimes or traffic crimes, the manufacturers should bear criminal responsibility as corporate crimes and negligence crimes, to be specific, the product culpability in the intelligent era. The product culpability in the intelligent era evolved from traditional criminal responsibilities, which are respectively based on will, personality, society and purpose. The premise for its determination is that the legislature should add supporting forms of negligence crimes and corporate crimes for manufacturers who bear the product liability. When judicial authorities apply product culpability to manufacturers, they should grant large-model self-driving vehicle manufacturers the right to defend against development risks and the right to apply for corporate compliance.

BODY is a core concept that runs through various stages of the development of ecocriticism theory, and its changing connotations reflect the shifts in research focus. Ecofeminism and postcolonial ecocriticism focus on the political nature of the body, examining the complex relationship between the body and ecological crisis from the perspectives of essentialism, constructivism, and performativity, with an emphasis on analyzing the identity differences of the body and their causes. Material ecocriticism views the body as a trans-corporeal material with narrative capacity, positing that bodily diseases and environmental pollution have an isomorphic relationship, and reveals the close connection between humans and nature from a negative perspective. In the turn toward the non-human and the posthuman, the rights of non-humans are increasingly recognized, the autonomy of the human body is undermined, and technological objects and animals challenge and subvert the hierarchical order between humans and non-humans, leading to a diversified and differentiated view of the body. The evolution of the concept of the body is not a linear process but a rhizomatic one, characterized by de-territorialization and re-territorialization, forming a rich matrix of meanings.

Since the founding of the Communist Party of China,it has been trying to promote the transformation of Chinese society from traditional to modern,with promotion of rule of law in rural governance as an important part. Since the reform and opening up,China has implemented the policy of ″sending law to the countryside″,established basic judicial institutions,cultivated villagers′ legal thinking,and maintained the order of rural governance. In recent years, ″sending law to the countryside″ has changed from ″institutional embeddedness″ to ″professional embeddedness″, and ″lawyers going to the countryside″ has become a key tool to ensure social governance by law, and has entered the historical stage as an innovative measure of China′s national governance. State power, through the ″embedded leadership″, namely, through ″Party and Youth League work coverage″, ″formulating normative guidelines″, ″creating a lawsuit market″ and other methods, promotes the organizational embedding, value embedding and interest embedding, constructs the political, professional and incentive nature of ″lawyers going to the countryside″, leads professional lawyers to promote the entry of national laws into the countryside, helps resolve conflicts and disputes at the source of the countryside and safeguard rights according to law, eliminates the cognition of ″making a big fuss″ and opportunism, turns to legal thinking, legal expression and rule awareness, promotes the organic integration of self-governance, moral governance and rule of law, and demonstrates the governance effectiveness of the ″lawyers going to the countryside″ system, providing a new field for observing the Chinese Communist Party′s promotion of the rule of law in rural governance.

In the 1930s, the Nanjing Nationalist Government, which had successfully completed the Northern Expedition, issued a series of regulations prohibiting the production and screening of dialect- based sound films in line with the political goal of ″unifying the national language″. However, due to de facto administrative autonomy, Cantonese-language films de facto administrative autonomy in the Guangdong and Guangxi regions of southern China for a long time. Consequently, the retention or abolition of Cantonese-language films gradually evolved into a complex game between the film industries in southern China and Shanghai, and the Kuomintang ″Central Film Censorship Committee″. Ultimately, with the intervention of high-level officials of the Nationalist government, the ″prohibition on Cantonese-language films″ was extended until 1940 and a ″Central Film Censorship Committee Office″ was established in Guangdong. However, this policy was left unsettled amid the Japanese military 's full-scale invasion of China. Drawing on the regulatory arbitrage theory used by Canadian sinologist Michael Szonyi in his historical research, this article analyzes the strategic interactions of the three parties strategic interactions, thus providing a fresh perspective on this period of history and deeply analyzing the underlying causes of regulatory arbitrage stemming from central-local tensions, why the film industry in southern China defended its vested interests in regulatory arbitrage, and the game psychology of the film industry in Shanghai as an anticipator of new regulatory arbitrage.

The public′s sense of gain in anti-corruption work is a key index for evaluating the effectiveness of anti-corruption work, and there is a close relationship between government information disclosure and public′s sense of gain in anti-corruption work. By constructing an analytical framework based on the social interconstruction theory and conducting an empirical analysis of the CSS2019 survey data, it is found that disclosure of government information helps to resolve the problem of information asymmetry in the principal-agent relationship, and has a significant positive impact on the sense of gain in anti-corruption work. Meanwhile, exposure to online information will increase the negative impression of the public about the effectiveness of the government′s anti-corruption work. From the perspective of intermediary effect, disclosure of government information helps to improve the public′s perception of social equity, enhance the public′s institutional participation, thereby improving the public′s sense of gain in anti-corruption work. Looking to the future, we should prioritize the public demand-driven transparency, establish a government information supply system that meets the heterogeneous needs of individuals, reasonably allocate anti-corruption work attention, and regulate political participation forms, so as to continuously and effectively enhance the public′s sense of gain in anti-corruption work.

The proactive work and entrepreneurship of local governments are key to China′s remarkable economic development achievements. However, the inadequacy of past supervision and accountability mechanisms has also posed high risks of corruption due to power abuse, affecting the smooth progress of Chinese modernization. The Third Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China emphasized the need to ″persist in governing the Party with a reform-oriented spirit and strict standards.″ Therefore, how to effectively supervise and constrain the exercise of power while motivating local governments to work and engage in entrepreneurship has become an urgent issue for the Party and state governance. Consequently, this paper constructs an analytical framework for the integration and coordination of incentives for local work and entrepreneurship with supervision and accountability, revealing the internal logic of changes in local behavior through two core variables: incentives for delegation of power and accountability for control of power. It also proposes moderately relaxing the regulation of residual rights under the mechanism of digital technology-enabled supervision and accountability to motivate local governments to actively work and engage in entrepreneurship.

China′s Lawyer Law clearly stipulates that lawyers should pursue social justice, but the nature of justice is questioned in the current market economy. It is a traditional academic practice to use identity paradigm to provide evidence for lawyer justice, which is shown as ″nationalism″ and ″professionalism″ in China and in the West. However, identity justice is a kind of ″one-dimensional justice″, which is manifested in the ethical paternalism tendency, the public-private opposition in cognition, the lack of reflection in practice. In addition, the fact that the identity society has been out of date makes the identity paradigm no longer able to explain lawyer justice. The contract paradigm interprets lawyer justice as a kind of reciprocal altruistic behavior. Lawyer justice is achieved through the exchange process between the legal profession, the state, and society which conforms to the reality of current contract society. Moreover, contract justice represents a kind of ″multi-dimensional justice″, which transcends the identity justice at all levels, and is manifested as: establishing the dignity of the opposite party in ethics; turning to ″living for private and public affairs″ in cognition; attaching importance to reflection and criticism in practice. Judging by the development process of the lawyer profession in China, the contract paradigm can also find local adaptability in China, which can provide a lot of enlightenment for the current lawyer system reform.
