From dreamers to future plans, LANTU shows the mature mind of a "new brand"

At the Guangzhou Auto Show, which opened on November 19, 2021, Lantu Automobile officially launched the second model of the brand, the pure electric MPV "Dreamer". The new car is based on ESSA’s native intelligent electric architecture, positioning a large MPV, and launching four-seat customized and seven-seat models. It will be launched in mid-2022.

After the official debut of the new car, Lantu Automobile organized a media communication meeting, with Lantu Automobile CEO and CTO Lu Fang and CBO Lei Xin explaining the origin, positioning, and goals of the "Dreamer" car for us, as well as the current achievements and future plans of Lantu Automobile.

Dreamers and dream homes

First of all, Lu Fang deconstructed for us why Lantu Automobile chose to develop MPV models in the second model. Lantu believes that from a national perspective, the peak carbon dioxide emissions carbon neutrality target puts new requirements on the development of the automotive industry. The "window period" for the rapid popularization of new energy vehicles in our country has opened, but there is currently no MPV that can meet the conditions of low-carbon travel. As a national team of high-end electric vehicles, Lantu has the responsibility and obligation to meet the needs of low-carbon travel in the market.

From a market perspective, new energy MPVs are a rigid demand for consumers, but the market is blank. With consumption upgrades, changes in the family structure of two-child and three-child families, and the family structure of "4 + 2 + X" with only one child, there is a big family as soon as you go out. Consumers need an MPV that can improve the quality of travel and take care of every need of the family. But at present, there is no MPV on the market that can solve the travel needs of the whole family.

From the external environment, the current MPV market does not have high-end pure electric products for users to choose from. There is no pure electric MPV on the market that truly meets the family experience and business travel, and there is no pure electric MPV that truly meets the family economic travel and can enjoy high-end quality.

Therefore, Lantu hopes to create an MPV that can compete with foreign luxury brands. Whether it is Lantu FREE or Lantu Dreamer, they all hope to represent Chinese brands to promote brand improvement, which is also the confidence we have shown in technology.

In addition, Lu Fang said that on the eve of the auto show, Lantu Auto held a small-scale tasting meeting on November 17, allowing users to experience the Lantu Dreamer model first. In just three days, we have received a lot of user feedback and hope to order. As the second or third car at home, many Lantu FREE users have been recommending this car to their friends, which shows that Lantu’s choice is correct and meets user requests.

In terms of the specific positioning of the model, Lei Xin said that Lantu Automobile believes that in the current new energy vehicle consumer market, users are more concerned about how to meet their own needs, and will not decide to buy a car, SUV or MPV. This purchase logic is the same whether it is for home or commercial use. And Lantu Dreamer is a pure electric MPV model built from actual needs, hoping to meet a variety of different vehicle scenarios such as business travel and family travel at the same time.

Landmap Dreamer can be customized according to user requests. The 4-seat version may be more inclined to the business travel of high-end business people, and the 7-seat version pays more attention to family travel. But Landmap does not deliberately target a certain market. Landmap is aimed at all target users, hoping to bring you a free and continuous exploration lifestyle and life concept with richer products.

When asked by the media that the name of Lantu’s first car is English FREE, and the second Dreamer is Chinese, how does Lantu consider the future naming system? Lei Xin said that for start-up brands, products are brands in a sense. Through individual naming, Lantu Auto hopes to create popular products and then empower the brand.

As an independent high-end new energy brand, Lantu’s future name will be mainly named in Chinese. The name Dreamer has two meanings. One is to represent everyone who has a dream and everyone who strives for the Chinese dream. They are the new backbone of this era and the realization of the Chinese dream. Another layer of meaning is the movable dream home. At work, it is a mobile living room, and at home, it is a movable warm home. It can be oil and electricity, IKEA and IKEA, and the city can be far away. It is a mobile third space that everyone wants to have.

When it comes to the characteristics of Landmap Dreamer in terms of intelligence, some media asked what upgrades the Dreamer has in terms of autonomous driving compared to Landmap FREE? How do you view autonomous driving in your future plans?

In this regard, Lu Fang said that from a technical perspective, both Lantu FREE and Lantu Dreamer can achieve advanced driving assistance at the L2 + level. However, Lantu Automotive never promotes autonomous driving, but defines these technologies as intelligent assistance systems, intelligent driving services or advanced driving assistance. Because Lantu insists on safety first, insists on seeking truth from facts, and never misleads consumers for gimmicks.

In addition to the L2 + level intelligent driving assistance, the Landscape Dreamer is also equipped with a 5G in-vehicle entertainment office system, a lift triple screen, wireless charging, and a car TV system, making it a relatively intelligent model in the MPV market.

Regarding the price range and IPO time of Landmap Dreamer, Lei Xin said that Dreamer will be officially listed in the middle of next year, and the price will be announced at that time. For competing products, Lei Xin said that the current high-end new energy MPV market is still a blue ocean, and there is no IKEA for the time being. At the same time, there is a high-end electric MPV with a higher degree of intelligence, so Landmap Dreamer has no direct competitors yet.

It can be seen that Lantu Auto executives are full of expectations for the Dreamer car, and about its sales expectations, Lu Fang said that Lantu hopes to be in the "first echelon" of the electric luxury MPV market for a long time with the Dreamer.

About Lantu Automotive

After talking about dreamers, we turned the topic to the brand of Lantu Automobile.

Regarding the brand positioning goal of Lantu Automobile, Lu Fang said that Lantu hopes to become a leading enterprise in high-end new energy vehicles in China. To this end, Lantu Automobile has made a lot of technological innovations, such as its self-developed super fast charging technology, which can not only improve the charging experience of users, but also reduce the time it might take half an hour or an hour to charge for about 400km in 10 minutes. In addition, from the perspective of social energy, after the voltage is raised, the efficiency of the whole vehicle will be improved, which will be helpful to society.

WeChat image _202111221808572

Lantu’s vehicle-road coordination is based on how to make the most efficient use of the road, and I believe that it will definitely be realized in the next 5-10 years. With the realization of coordination, vehicles can plan their routes in advance and use the most economical way to make each road the most efficient. Many of the technologies developed by Lantu are considering how to make the most efficient use of social resources in the future without generating too much waste.

Regarding the understanding of user operation, Lu Fang said that with the intelligent and networked car, users have established a closer relationship with brand owners in the whole life cycle of the car. In the past, users only simply paid attention to the product, but now they pay more attention to the service of the whole life cycle of the car. Users’ purchase behavior has gradually become a social activity, and users are more willing to enjoy the joy of contributing wisdom and thinking in the process of participating. So what kind of relationship to build with users and how to create more value for users are issues that car companies must think about if they want to achieve a win-win situation.

In this regard, compared to user operation and user circle, Landmap chooses and adheres to the concept of co-creating and sharing with users. Landmap has an equal relationship with users, treating users as collaborators and good partners, empowering them in both directions, growing together and sharing development results.

In 2019, Landmap has already started to co-create with users. In the prototype stage of Landmap’s FREE project, users tested and inspected together with Landmap. At that time, users put forward two or three hundred optimization suggestions, and Landmap finally adopted more than 130. There are also users who think that Landmap’s car keys are not good-looking, so Landmap solicited car key design solutions on the APP, and now the best solution selected by users has been implemented. Many users feel that Landmap FREE is very kind, because Landmap FREE also contains the user’s efforts and crystallization.

On November 17, Lantu held a small-scale Lantu Dreamer tasting activity, allowing users to easily communicate with travel company partners and listen to the opinions and suggestions of users and the market on MPV. At the press conference on the morning of the 19th, Lantu invited nearly 30 national teams of central enterprises to the Lantu booth, hoping to empower users with a high-quality full-life-cycle car ownership experience from the perspective of the user’s car ownership life cycle. Lantu also announced the official launch of the second global test peer program and renamed it the Global Creation and Enjoyment Peer Program, that is, we hope to continue to be user-centric, expand boundaries, deepen dimensions, and achieve comprehensive co-creation from products, services to ecological chains.

Landmap is not just a simple service for product sales, but really brings value to users. Landmap will definitely put user requests in the most important position and strive to explore a better model of co-creation and sharing with users.

Regarding Lantu’s "national team Moments", Lu Fang said that Lantu is a subsidiary of Dongfeng Company, and Dongfeng itself is a central enterprise. Central enterprises are to serve the people, that is, to serve users. Cooperation between central enterprises can create more value for society and users, which is a manifestation of practicing the social responsibility of central enterprises. In addition, central enterprises themselves have rich resources and capabilities. Central enterprises support and support each other, give full play to their respective advantages, and can make central enterprises develop better together. Cooperating with central enterprises can make users more confident in us, let users see Lantu’s ability is very strong, and believe in Lantu’s strength.

Lu Fang also said that at present, Lantu has been working closely with central enterprises in the whole ecological chain. Lantu’s direct-operated stores, financial services, intelligent networking, charging piles and other aspects are all cooperating with central enterprises such as COFCO Group and China Unicom. This close cooperation will have great support for Lantu’s products and services.

In terms of channel construction, Lu Fang said that currently Lantu adopts a direct sales model, in order to have a direct connection with users. By the end of this year, Lantu will build 57 Lantu spaces. In order to reach users more widely, more than 110 exhibition halls will be built in places with dense traffic such as supermarkets. At the same time, 23 delivery service centers and 51 officially authorized sheet spray centers will be built by the end of this year.

Next year, Lantu’s channels will expand even faster, and construction channels will be expanded from second- and third-tier to fourth- and fifth-tier cities. As long as there is demand, even if there are no local stores, Lantu will find ways to meet the demand, such as door-to-door test drives, door-to-door car deliveries, and so on.

For example, when Lantu was doing a global test peer program, it encountered two users in a very remote county in Xinjiang. The final delivery was also to find a way to send the car there, including follow-up repairs and maintenance.

Bang Dianping

From its first MPV model, Dreamer, to the brand’s understanding and planning for users, partners, and channel construction, we can see that Lantu Auto, as a "new brand", has a very mature "mind" and thinking. With a clear model and brand plan, we have reason to believe that Lantu can grow healthily and provide us with better products and services.

Changan Mazda EZ-6: A Disruptor in the Joint Venture New Energy B-Class Car Market?

Recently, some netizens posted a car purchase invoice for Changan Mazda EZ-6. The invoice shows that the first new energy model of Changan Mazda is priced at 221,800 yuan. This news undoubtedly caused an uproar in the automotive circle. The EZ-6 is not only the pioneer of Changan Mazda’s entry into the new energy market, but also has the potential to become a spoiler in the joint venture B-class car market, especially in this segment that only provides range-extending power options. It can be said that "the comer is not good".

According to the exposed invoice, we must first consider the authenticity of this invoice. The invoice was issued on August 16, more than a month earlier than the pre-sale time, and the car company’s time advancement process shows that Changma internally agreed on the price two months in advance. Although sensitive information such as the invoice code has been coded, from the invoice information and the invoice seal of Changan Mazda Automobile Co., Ltd., the invoice has high credibility and is very likely to be the real information from the internal outflow. Therefore, such a selling price should have great credibility.

In fact, since the EZ-6 made its debut at the 2024 Beijing Auto Show, it has quickly become a hot topic in the field of joint venture new energy. On the one hand, it is at the forefront of the trend in terms of styling design, and on the other hand, it is the only model in the joint venture B-class sedan market that offers extended range power options, filling the gap in the form of joint venture new energy brands.

In terms of product specifications, the EZ-6 has a length, width and height of 4921mm, 1890mm and 1485mm in body size, a wheelbase of 2895mm, and a frameless door and hatchback design. These designs are not only in line with modern trends, but also show a sense of high-end. Although its appearance is more new and energy-efficient, details such as through taillights and four round barrel lights on both sides still retain the classic design elements of Mazda.

In terms of power system, the EZ-6 offers both pure electric and extended range options, both of which are rear-drive layouts. The power parameters of the pure electric version are set at 190kW, while the extended range version uses a 1.5-liter range extender of the same power. In terms of range, the pure electric model has two versions of 480km and 600km according to the battery pack capacity. The extended range version can achieve a battery life of over 1300km with one tank of fuel and one charge, which is quite good in the same class of models.

In terms of intelligent configuration, the EZ-6 also spares no effort. Equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon third-generation 8155 chip, 14.6-inch floating central control screen with full LCD instrument panel and AR-HUD head-up display, the whole cockpit is full of technology. In terms of safety configuration, 360-degree panoramic image, 180-degree panoramic chassis, adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assistance, automatic parking and other functions are equipped. In terms of comfort, Sony audio, 64-color ambient lights, zero-gravity seats and other configurations make it difficult to find competitors in the same class of models.

When comparing similar competitors, the price of the EZ-6 is even more advantageous. As a joint venture pure electric mid-range car, compared with the price of the same level Tesla Model 3 and BMW i3 at about 300,000 yuan, and the starting price of the Volkswagen ID.7 is 227,700 yuan, the 221,800 yuan of the EZ-6 pure electric version is quite affordable. This not only highlights its high cost performance, but also a challenge to similar brands.

According to Mazda’s previous pricing strategy, the final price of this car is estimated to be between 18-240,000 yuan. Combined with market demand and competitors, if some competitive policies are introduced during the pre-sale period, the EZ-6 is likely to become the next popular car. This will not only bring Changan Mazda a higher market share, but also bring great pressure to the existing joint venture new energy models in the market. As for whether all this can be realized as expected, the answer will be announced when the EZ-6 starts pre-sale on September 28 and is officially launched at the end of October. Please continue to pay attention and share your views and expectations in the comment area.

Whether you are a car enthusiast, a potential car buyer, or an industry practitioner, the launch of this car will undoubtedly bring a new wave. Please join us in anticipating the official launch of Changan Mazda EZ-6 and see if it can really become a disruptor in the joint venture new energy B-class car market.

Cai Xukun’s Journey and Stars

Character Profile: Cai Xukun, born in Zhejiang in 1998, grew up in Shenzhen. In 2012, he participated in the program "Up! Youth" and first entered the screen. In 2018, he recorded the program "Idol Trainee" and debuted with the highest vote C (core position). After that, he released his first EP "1", creating a number of music records. Recently, he released the single "No Accidents", which quickly topped multiple music charts.

(Caption: At the end of January 2019, Cai Xukun was interviewed by Global People in Beijing.)

The conversation between Universal People and Cai Xukun began with a psychological test. The test is as follows: If you notice something peeking into your room outside your window, what do you think it would be? A. Monkey; B. Frog; C. Doll; D. Alien. Cai Xukun looked at the board for a long time and finally settled on D.

The answer was revealed. This was a stress test, and the option represented the biggest source of stress in the heart: aliens symbolize interpersonal relationships, you may want to avoid interpersonal problems, and sensitive you will be stressed by taking care of other people’s feelings. Putting down the question board, Cai Xukun paused and said, "D, it’s quite accurate."

Every moment you’re alone makes you stronger.

It is true that less than a year after his debut, Cai Xukun’s public awareness has increased exponentially, and the people around him, the people wh***ollow him, and the people who comment on him have swept in like a tide. In early 2018, a program called "Idol Trainee" made him famous, and since then "C" has become his distinct label. In the year since his debut, his works have been hotly discussed and noticed, and he is also a friendship ambassador for Zhongya (Jamaica), an ambassador for the 2019NBA Chinese New Year, and a spokesperson for the ******* Taiwan ****** Festival Gala. Recently, he launched a new song "No Accidents", which reached diamond sales on a music platform in less than 2 minutes. It can be said that Cai Xukun’s every move has become a hot topic in the public opinion field.

The positive side of this attention is that fans follow his positive image. Influenced by Cai Xukun’s personal donations and participation in public welfare activities, a large number of young people have participated in education and poverty alleviation, helping the public welfare construction of libraries, welfare institutions, and ecological forests.

However, the other side of attention is the ubiquitous social magnifying glass. It can be said that at the age of 20, Cai Xukun was caught in a storm of red and black almost overnight. Faced with these, Cai Xukun did not think about it. He also wondered whether his decisions were all right after going on stage and wrote songs and lyrics in the middle of the night, trying to use his creation to say something that cannot be said in daily life. When asked why Weibo always has so few words, he replied with four words: "Be careful with your words and deeds."

"[For the media] I was actually injured, and the reason for the injury was that I didn’t mean it, but I was misunderstood. These things make people cautious, so I used to feel like a hedgehog," Cai Xukun said.

Cai Xukun is a sensitive person. He was born into an artistic family, and many people in his family are engaged in art-related work. The family atmosphere has invisibly influenced his personal interests. Music has become Cai Xukun’s first important partner in life. Participating in various competitions since childhood, and then singing, dancing and acting have made his perception of the outside world much more delicate than his peers.

Sensitivity also comes from loneliness. At the age of 15, Cai Xukun went abroad to study and lived alone with a local family in the United States. "When there is no class, I will stay indoors watching movies and listening to songs. When I feel homesick, I will endure it."

In order to integrate into the local area, Cai Xukun used sports and music to make friends. He played basketball, joined the school team, learned to sing with the locals, and was exposed to all kinds of music.

Karl Lagerfeld, the fashion "Galeries Lafayette", once said: "If you want to create, loneliness is the best charger, and loneliness is victory." Lonely, people’s sensibility and reason tend to reach a certain peak. Alone in a foreign country, Cai Xukun began to try to write songs. Wearing headphones, he observed people on the street for inspiration. He described that period as "growth", whether it was mental or ability, a watershed had passed. "During that time, I learned that people should be able to tolerate loneliness and believe that every time they are alone is an experience that makes them stronger," Cai Xukun said.

In 2016, Cai Xukun returned to China to participate in a reality TV show and began to pursue his dream. However, what seemed like a glittering starting point was actually a more difficult journey.

(Picture: On January 9, 2019, Cai Xukun was awarded the China-Jamaica Friendship Ambassador and China-Jamaica Outstanding Young Leader)

Dream to sleep with me, if not realized, I will lose sleep

Before the reporter interviewed Cai Xukun, he was told by many colleagues that this is an extremely self-disciplined artist. The so-called "extreme self-discipline" means always tightening the strings and never letting up.

Seeing is believing. Our interview started in the background of a large-scale event. Before the interview began, Cai Xukun greeted each staff member, bowed slightly, and repeated "hard work". After the interview, we were about to leave, and Cai Xukun, who had already started to touch up his makeup and was ready to go on stage, suddenly stood up, bowed and thanked us, and didn’t sit down until we went out. The fellow photojournalists were surprised, and Lian said: "After working for so many years, this is probably the first artist to watch us leave."

"Every day when I wake up, I think about what I want to do today and what tasks I want to complete."

"Before going to bed every day, I will review today’s work, what has been done well, and what needs to be improved."

"I have to restrain myself and calm down. If I’m too impulsive, I can’t make music down to earth."

"I will never give myself too many presuppositions. If others put you at a higher starting point, you should spend more time practicing and becoming better, rather than enjoying the flowers."

****

In interviews, Cai Xukun often has such a precocious and introspective answer, saying: "I know I seem to be a little out of line with my age." Much of this "inconsistency" comes from his situation in the last three or four years. After entering the entertainment industry, Cai Xukun’s life has had a roller coaster experience.

In 2016, it can be regarded as the real starting point of Cai Xukun’s acting career. He participated in the competition, and during the recording of the show, everyone went to rest every day except sleeping and eating. He was still watching the stage replay, and the details of the problem were repeatedly corrected. He also participated in film and television dramas, but the script was rotten, and he was embarrassed to show it to reporters when interviewed.

The effort never stopped, but the harvest came slowly – for a while, Cai Xukun’s career was almost at a standstill.

At that time, some people advised him to stop making music and go to acting, but Cai Xukun didn’t think so. Recalling that time, he said that he did "the craziest thing", "that is, he never gave up and always insisted on music." The most difficult time, when he couldn’t sleep, Cai Xukun encouraged himself: "Dreams are something that sleeps with me. If I don’t realize it, I will lose sleep." It was also at that time that Cai Xukun completed the first published original single "I Wanna Get Love".

In January 2018, Cai Xukun took the stage of "Idol Trainee" with his own songs and received the first A rating on the show. But at the same time, his performance and styling were highly discussed. For him, it was all a battle of the backwater: "I have experienced not being recognized and not being cared for, so I have to put aside all the bad experiences and pressures before and start again. It is not a gamble, but it does take courage."

In the program group, Cai Xukun is a model worker who often practices dancing until the early morning, and the director comments that he is "not in a bad state"; when pressing his legs, he is "super hard" and "pressing to death", because "you can break through by being hard on yourself"; if the skin on his hands is seriously allergic, he hides his hands behind his back when the camera is photographed, "you must show everyone the best look"; he is too tired to sleep on the stage, "I don’t have time to feel homesick at all"…

Why do you fight so much? He wrote the reason in the song he participated in during the competition: Come here, everything is zero, and he strikes alone. He feels that because he has had and lost, he is skating on thin ice; and because he dreams and believes, he always insists.

On April 6, 2018, Cai Xukun made his debut in the C position of "Idol Trainee".

The quietness in life, the excitement in creation

On the first day of 2019, director Bi Gan’s new film "The Last Night of the Earth" was released, and Cai Xukun secretly went to the cinema to watch it. "I like it."

"This movie has been questioned a lot." The reporter discussed with him.

"But I think it’s not worth it to discuss whether it’s worth it or not, but more importantly whether you feel it. I like the details of how people get along in the movie, and the quiet and surging shooting method of the whole movie."

He loves a long shot in the movie, where the male protagonist slides from the mountain to the small town at the foot of the mountain on a cableway, and all the characters, stories, and actions are shot to the end. "I usually shoot things by myself, so I like longer shots, and I don’t like to cut them too much, because the long shot can observe the expressions of many characters or the current emotions, as if you are really following and witnessing the occurrence of the story, which has a kind of documentary feeling."

Cai Xukun likes this kind of literary and immersive film, and it is easy to calm down when watching it – quiet has become the most frequent word in our interviews. "This personality is probably related to family," he said. "When I was very young, I lived with my grandfather. He liked to write calligraphy and play musical instruments. I listened to old songs with him and watched him write. I felt very quiet." This atmosphere also cultivated Cai Xukun’s aesthetic.

Cai Xukun had a motto, "In the world of flowers and flowers, keep your heart still", which was enough to describe his state along the way. "There are all kinds of voices in the outside world, and all kinds of things are happening. I must remind myself to keep a quiet heart at all times to create and work."

In Cai Xukun’s opinion, only when he is calm can he think, and only when he thinks, can he know what he really wants. Therefore, after the competition, he did not strike while the iron was hot, but put aside a lot of exposure opportunities and variety shows, and spent time writing songs and recording. "As a singer, I should first make a good musical work, and then participate in variety shows to show more aspects of myself to everyone."

On August 2, 2018, Cai Xukun released his first original EP (mini album) "1" on his birthday. A total of three songs were written, composed and produced by him, and these three songs combined with Chinese and English are basically the summary of Cai Xukun’s road to fame. "I didn’t expect that I would be here, I lost my way, can you help me? The future of this road is uncertain." "The second chance is not easy, I know it very well, I never thought that things will remain the same, will there be an end?" "I want to sing to you in your ear, calling my name in the dark, you don’t need to bear all this."

Cai Xukun said that he regards creation as a storytelling process. Recently, he released the lyrical single "No Accidents", which is his own lyrics: "The night has slowly fallen, the moon is hiding, and I want to find stars to replace it." Speaking of the song, Cai Xukun said: "I personally think it is a more artistic work, and there will be some deeper things. I hope that through these works, everyone can see more different me." The quietness in life and the surging in creation are the states Cai Xukun hopes to achieve.

In fact, in Cai Xukun, there are many similar contrasts. For example, he once took out a crumpled plastic bag from his pocket before the performance, which was filled with accessories used on the stage, so he was laughed at by fans as "old man making pie"; he likes listening to Teresa Teng and Cai Qin, likes watching "Sleepless in Seattle", and the Empire State Building is still the most beautiful scenery in New York in his mind; he claims that there is an old soul living in his body, "My mother taught me that life must be simple"; he also wants to make a short documentary film for everyone to see how he has come all the way…

Another contrast is that he seems gentle and quiet, but in fact he is vigorous. When asked by a reporter from Universal People "if there is any unshakable principle in his work", he replied: "The principle is that I have to see everything before I can go out." For example, for a song, Cai Xukun once flew to South Korea to re-cut it overnight because he was not satisfied with the initial cut of the MV. "The first 10 seconds of intro (prelude), a full 4 hours of cutting". He has a strong desire to control music creation and stage performance.

Perhaps this desire for control comes from insecurity. As an entertainer, he has experienced ups and downs, and he knows that luck is not something that can be controlled and manipulated by humans. If you can’t even control your own work, it is too passive. So he said: "For me, music and stage are free and safe."

(Caption: Cai Xukun and director Dave Meyers at the filming scene of the "Wait Wait Wait" MV in November 2018.)

Cai Xukun said he was most afraid of three things: losing the stage, losing confidence, and losing IKUN (his fan nickname). "I’m not a particularly confident person, but when I have a lot of strength behind me, I will dig out that part of my confidence." One day, to encourage himself, he wrote a letter to himself, including one sentence: "Because I am no longer alone, I am no longer afraid to shine."

A sensitive soul and a determined will, quiet and ambitious, these are two sides of Cai Xukun’s body. Such a personality also allows him to be self-consistent in storms and controversies. Asked by a reporter from Global People how to relieve stress in the whirlpool of the entertainment industry, he replied with a slight joke: "Hold it in."

"I embrace everything, because time will tell," he said.

When the end is already decided, what is the point of our actions?

Chloe Benjamin’s novel "The Immortal" tells a story that begins with a suspenseful setting: four young children who accidentally receive a witch’s prophecy and learn the exact date of their future death, thereby altering each of their life choices. It is a common topic of discussion – is there still room for our free will when the outcome is already decided?
Nowadays, in order to increase the freedom of play, many games will set up many dialogue and behavior options, and every choice of the player may affect the direction and ending of the following plot. In order to experience different plots, many players will play with other behavior choices after clearing the level, and finally after the first week, the second week, or even the third week, experience all the life possibilities of the game protagonist, or play a perfect ending. In some games with relatively delicate plot settings, this game mode allows you to fully experience what is called the "butterfly effect" in life. For example, in "Life is Strange", even a detail the size of a ball of waste paper will have a huge impact in the later stage of the game. On the other hand, the limitations of the game itself also make us understand that no matter how rich and free choices we make, the final outcome cannot be separated from the end point provided by the game developers. It seems that a game is like a simple beta version of life. But even crueler than the game is that we cannot experience the second or third week of life, yet every subtle choice we make does have unpredictable effects in reality, and no matter what life choices we make, we cannot escape the end of life: death. Many times, in reality, because death exists in unknown ways and restricts some of our behavior, we will not rush into the battlefield with weapons as easily as in the game, or to drive a motorcycle on the roof and fly across the road. We know that these actions are likely to lead to final results. But if we already know the exact moment of the end of death, then these constraints may be lifted by crazy thoughts.
The American writer Chloe Benjamin tried to use the novel "The Eternal" to tell such a story about fate and choice. This kind of story has been quite extensive in ancient Greek tragedies, but the difference is that in ancient Greek tragedies, the oracle of fate is relatively vague, it hides a lot of necessary information. For example, Oedipus received the oracle that he would kill his father and marry his mother, but did not know that the parents he thought were not his biological parents. "The Eternal" as a modern novel makes the prophecy more clear.
The novel begins in 1969 – a sensitive year for human civilization, and one that reflects the author’s ambitions. The main characters in the story are four siblings in the family, Varia, the oldest, Daniel, the second, Clara, who is nine, and Simon, the youngest. After several children learn that a mysterious witch lives in Hearst Street and can predict the exact date of each person’s death, they decide to secretly try it, which inadvertently changes their lives. It also makes us wonder how death – as a necessary consequence of life – affects the course of life.
"The Immortal", Author: (US) Chloe Benjamin, Translator: Zhang Yifei, Version: Utopia | Henan Literature and Art Publishing House, October 2022
If I die tomorrow
The four siblings who receive the death prophecy present four different ways of facing life – in this novel, the difference is mainly determined by the length of the rest of their lives. The most interesting of these are Simon and Daniel.
Simon, the youngest, seemed to have his soul replaced on the way home after hearing the prophecy from the witch. Simon, who was once quiet, contradicted his family at the dinner table that night and shouted "I’m happy!", even though "he was a little uncomfortable playing this role". Because of the four siblings, Simon was the youngest, but the date of death was the latest – he could only live to 20 years old. Although several children came home and said that the witch was pure nonsense, the death prophecy still affected their survival to varying degrees.
Realizing that he only had thirteen years left to live, Simon suddenly underwent a personality change. In short, he no longer tolerated it. He used to worry that his parents would find out that he was actually gay. He knew that his brothers and sisters were going away and he needed to stay to take care of his parents and the family business. But in the face of his imminent death, Simon felt that he urgently needed to burst out of his true self in the remaining life. Therefore, he chose a long journey away from home similar to running away, and put all the concerns mentioned before behind him.
"Bucket List" stills.
Simon started his "bucket list" in San Francisco. He danced in nightclubs, studied at the San Francisco Ballet Academy, slept with other men, "In New York, he would live for them, but in San Francisco, he could live for himself. And, though he didn’t want to think about it, even though he had been pathologically avoiding the topic, he now allowed himself to think about it: What if the woman on Hearst Street was right? This thought changed the color of his life. It made everything urgent, sparkling, and precious." Eventually, after a few years of this life in San Francisco, Simon contracted AIDS, which had not been named and recognized at that time, due to promiscuity, and died on the date predicted by the witch.
Daniel, the second brother, was the third of the four to die. After the death of Simon and Clara’s relatives, Daniel was extremely remorseful and hated for the prophecy given by the witch of the year, and he must find the witch in Hearst Street. With the cooperation of a police friend, Daniel found the witch’s house and asked her if she had predicted that today was the witch’s own death. The police friend who arrived in time only wanted to shoot the thigh to stop Daniel from killing the witch. Unexpectedly, the shot through the thigh shattered the aorta in the leg, causing Daniel to bleed to death. Therefore, Daniel also died on the day the witch predicted.
Stills from the movie "Bucket List".
Daniel’s death, by contrast, is more like an oracle in an ancient Greek tragedy. Daniel, 48, did not completely forget his death prophecy. He had a regular medical examination, and each time the result proved that he was in good health – perhaps it was this that gave him overconfidence. He let go of almost all his vigilance until the night of the death prophecy date. He could hardly imagine any sudden accident that could take his life, but in the end he died in an even more unexpected situation.
Logically, both Simon and Daniel’s deaths were avoidable, but it seems that both of them ran to their own deaths more accurately in different ways of avoiding death. Simon’s choice was a responsive escape, and the date of death had taken root in his heart. No matter how much he denied it, he actually believed that he had heard the prophecy and was facing an unalterable destiny. He then spent the rest of his life counting down, and in this story, it can be said that if Simon had not run away from home and hung out with gays in San Francisco, he would have probably spent his twenty-first birthday at home unscathed from AIDS. The annual physical examination was similar to his trial process, trying to confirm the failure of the witch’s prophecy. At the same time, in 2006, at the end of Daniel’s chapter, he was also caught in the circle of the death of the first two relatives. He firmly believed that the witch’s prophecy did not come true on the last day of the day, which must mean that it has failed.
Simon finally dies in the convulsion of repeating "I love you" over and over to his lover Robert. He feels that there is nothing wrong with his life. The so-called regrets are left to the logic of fate itself. Unlike the movie "Bucket List" to fulfill the wish of life, Simon’s death is just a prophecy, not as certain as a terminal illness, and his life length is too short compared to the protagonist in the movie. In Simon, we can think of the predicted death date as an encouragement to move away from the image of a good child, to engage with the life experience that he has not dared to practice before, and to encourage a person to accept the death itself. As for Daniel, he has been inquiring about the witch’s residence, trying to find someone to be responsible for the death of his relatives. The most robust person in his body may be the one who is the least afraid to face death in his heart.
Two Ways to Accept Death
The two female characters, Clara and Varia, seem to approach death prophecies in a more natural way than the two men in the family. Clara was also told that she would die at the age of 31. She also went to San Francisco to become a magician, but performed a very dangerous "jaw of life" – but on the night of a performance in 1991, Clara chose to hang herself in her room.
In Clara’s world, "death" not only exists, but also means a real world. She does not resist death, and believes that there are things in this world that can transcend death, such as human souls and consciousness. She often dreams of Simon at night, and she thinks that if she can continue to have this connection with Simon or other deceased people, it means that consciousness can continue to exist even if the body dies, she can transcend boundaries, and death does not exist at all.
Clara’s idea is philosophical. Is there room for us humans to exercise free will when cause and effect have become inevitable? This is a philosophical question that has been debated for decades. In the seventeenth century, mechanism and determinism told almost everyone that everything has cause and effect, including freedom itself, which is part of the law of causation. Later, the philosopher David Hume, in order to overthrow causality, led people into the abyss of agnosticism – everything you see is unreliable. It’s a pity that there is no Humean thinker in the novel "The Eternal" to explain this way of life. Later, Kant and other philosophers began to discuss free will, and the final result was that philosophers succeeded in prying open a hole in the world of determinism and causal logic, proving that in some small crevices, human free will has an independent and free space. Unfortunately, the space for human exercise of free will is more like a powerful placebo most of the time. After all, the behavioral decisions we make out of free will cannot resist the laws of the physical world; the human mind can invent countless ideas that despise and transcend death, but death will come in time.
Stills from the movie "Bucket List".
Clara is such a person who stares at death. She thinks she is capable of being a bridge – crossing the living and the dead to become an "immortal". She completes what she calls the task of "communicating with the dead" in Scrabble with Simon, her star performance becomes a memory for the audience, and finally she chooses to commit suicide in the days predicted by the witches. Of the four siblings, Clara is the only one to enter death by freely choosing death.
In contrast, Varia, the eldest sister who lived to the end, was more like a person who completely ignored death. This may be related to the date she was predicted to live to 88 years old, and she looks no different from a normal person. She doesn’t need to worry about the arrival of death, she just needs to make her own life rhythm and plan, and wait quietly for that day to come. Unlike a normal person, she has one (or three) more opportunities to stare at death.
Chloe Benjamin.
"Varia and her siblings had a choice, an opportunity for self-reflection. They wanted to measure time, they wanted to plan and control time. But as they chased the future, they actually got closer to that woman’s prophecy."
Chloe Benjamin’s novel "The Immortal" involves a series of major events such as the AIDS crisis, 9/11, and racial issues in the narrative span of several decades, but these issues are all dissolved in the bond of four siblings. To his credit, he does not let death fail in the face of different attitudes towards life, but maintains the suspense element of the witch’s death prophecy. Under this premise, "The Immortal" offers us the opportunity to reflect on our attitude towards life – what matters is not whether our choices can change the outcome of life, what matters is that our choices will change the course of our journey towards the outcome, and that all choices have a price, and the acceptance of the price is often the part of the real value difference in different people’s hearts that is often overlooked.

Wang Zuxian denied the rumors of becoming a monk, and relatives and friends said it was a chat joke that was taken seriously


This suspected monk picture spread all over the Internet yesterday.


  The 42-year-old Wang Zuxian was shocked to see through the dust and shaved his hair at a Chinese Buddhist club in Vancouver, Canada. The news quickly spread all over the world. Former boyfriend Qi Qin was anxious to find her for verification. After searching for her all day yesterday, he finally contacted Wang Zuxian by text message through her fourth uncle. Wang Zuxian denied being a monk, and Wang’s father also denied the rumors through Wang Zuxian’s godfather Fu Daren. Wang Zuxian’s mother also said yesterday that she knew that Xiaoxian was practicing at home, and the reports were just rumors without Xiaoxian’s own confirmation.


  Chatting jokes are taken seriously


  When Qi Qin received the news last night, he said it was not very credible. He was surprised and said: "She has already converted, but it should not be a monk." Wang Zuxian’s mother said that she knew that Xiaoxian was practicing at home, but the haircut should be a rumor. In another interview yesterday, Qi Qin revealed that Wang Zuxian’s fourth uncle sent her a text message yesterday saying that everyone was concerned about whether she was a monk, and the fourth uncle called Qi Qin back yesterday and said: "There is no such thing. She said that she had chatted with friends and talked about her practicing at home. She joked that she might become a monk. This may have spread."


  The media speculated that Wang Zuxian had escaped into the air, and it was rumored that Qi Qin was dating Xiao Qiang, and even that he was going to get married. Qi Qin denied: "Impossible, I met Xiao Qiang for business, and if she (Wang Zuxian) mind me getting a girlfriend, don’t wait until now. I haven’t heard that she has plans to become a monk. If she really wants to become a monk, she should be in the mainland or Taiwan." He said that in the first three or four years, Wang Zuxian was more cheerful and had a more leisurely life. When the two occasionally contacted, they would ask him if he had a girlfriend, but for more than a year, they also stopped hearing from him.


  Fu Daren and Wang Zuxian’s father, Wang Yaohui, was a basketball friend of Guoguang basketball team. When Wang Zuxian was in school, he recognized her as his goddaughter. Fu Daren called Wang’s father on the 8th, "Her father said that there is no such thing as Wang Zuxian becoming a monk! Zuxian was a filial child since he was a child. Due to the death of Wang Yaohui’s father, he cannot publicly show his face to explain this matter within 49 days of his death."


  Cha Xiaoxin refused to comment any further


  Cha Siu-hin, a well-known Hong Kong radio host, confirmed the matter by phone last night and said that Lin Jianyue had an unshirkable responsibility. "I have not been in contact with Zuxian, but I heard one of my seniors tell me about this today. This seniors has a very good relationship with Zuxian, so I think the news should be true." In addition, Cha Xiaoxin admitted that it was precisely because of the relationship with Lin Jianyue that Wang Zuxian could not continue to stay in Hong Kong, and it eventually prompted her to go into complete seclusion in Canada. It was reported that Wang Zuxian, who has been in seclusion in Vancouver for many years and has been reclusive for many years, cut his hair as a nun at a local Chinese Buddhist club in early June this year. But yesterday afternoon, the reporter called the mainland agent of the famous Hong Kong radio host Cha Xiaoxin, Miss Jin, who told Sina Entertainment that they had also contacted Cha Xiaoxin about the matter. Cha Xiaoxin said that she did not want to give any more interviews on Wang Zuxian’s ordination. "This is someone else’s business, and it has nothing to do with her."


  The whistleblower once said that Teresa Teng "broke her back"


  It is understood that Du Huidong, the writer who published this "monk" news, is a famous "paper whistleblower" in the Hong Kong media circle. He has made a lot of celebrity gossip, but the authenticity has yet to be verified. Du Huidong once broke up with Zhu Yin after Zhou Xingchi broke up with Zhu Yin, in order to beg Zhu Yin to turn back, Zhou Xingchi ran to the hotel to block people; also said that Teresa Teng had a "broken back" with the female director; and even pointed out that the cause of death of kung fu superstar Bruce Lee was caused by drinking "raw beef and banana juice" every day. Although Du Huidong’s revelations will cause an uproar, the authenticity of these "rumored" revelations is negotiable. This time, Wang Zuxian’s revelation is a monk, and the credibility is naturally not high. Zhong He
