3. Tax on virtual currency transactions
On June 28th, 2008, 10, State Taxation Administration of The People's Republic of China, People's Republic of China (PRC), approved the request of Beijing Local Taxation Bureau to levy taxes on personal transactions involving virtual currency, which triggered a heated discussion among netizens.

The financial crisis has affected the global IT industry.
On September 15, the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers, one of the four largest investment banks in the United States, announced the arrival of the global financial crisis. Under the strong blow of the financial turmoil, the IT industry has not been spared. Many companies repurchased shares and laid off a large number of employees, which set off a wave of IT industry acquisitions in eat small fish. Whether the IT industry can tide over the difficulties is a challenge or an opportunity for its development. ...
6. Reorganization of China Telecom Industry
Since the first half of the year, the telecom restructuring that has been disturbing and foggy has finally become clear at 10. China Unicom and China Netcom formally merged to form a new Unicom, China Unicom's CDMA network merged with China Telecom to form a new telecom, and China Tietong and China Mobile merged to form a new mobile. Since then, a new situation of three pillars in China telecom industry has been formed.
7. China Telecom C Network Bidding
The "first order" of China Telecom's C-network procurement has always attracted the attention of the industry. In order to occupy the territory, equipment manufacturers will not hesitate to favor China Telecom with ultra-low price strategy. It is indeed the inertia thinking of this industry to seek development after enclosure is completed, which is followed by a bloody wrestling.
8. The Anti-Monopoly Law was formally implemented.
China's Anti-Monopoly Law was drafted by 1994, discussed and passed by the National People's Congress Standing Committee (NPCSC) on August 30th last year, and officially implemented by 1 in August this year, which lasted for 14 years. At present, there are no implementation rules, how to operate specifically? When will the implementation rules be issued? What kind of far-reaching impact will it have on related industries? As a new law closely related to people's lives, the Anti-monopoly Law has been paid close attention by academic and industrial circles.
9. Personal websites need a license.
On August 1 day, Beijing Industrial and Commercial "New Rules for Online Shops" was officially implemented today.

The sudden "regulations" of the two ministries poured cold water on more than 400 video websites in a period of rapid growth. So what should video websites do in winter?
Counting the Top Ten Cultural Events in China in 2008 (Continued)
Walking, inadvertently, our 2008 will become history. In this year, we have experienced too much, both joy and sorrow, which made us immersed in pain or excitement before honor. When we look back, we find that in the past year, there were always more or less events that affected us and made us last as long as new and unforgettable. After reading the top ten cultural events in China counted by Mr. Liu Hongbo, I couldn't help copying a title myself and expressing my views on Mr. Liu Hongbo's inventory.
First, the rich list of writers in 2008
Keywords:: rich list responsibility sensational literature outlet
The third release of the rich list of writers in 2008 caused a sensation again. We don't discuss how this ranking is made. Judging from the importance of its being published in the headlines of major media, the rich list is leading the arrival of a cultural storm. People not only sigh, but also criticize it. More people are wondering, and more people are asking: Where will China's literary outlet go? What responsibility should the current literati bear for the development of literature? It seems that scholars still have a long way to go.
In people's eyes, writers seem to have become synonymous with poverty. In my impression, it seems that all the literati in the past dynasties lived in extreme poverty. How many literati who used to make a living by selling articles and words make us feel that success is rare after all. In today's society, we can still hear and see that many outstanding literati live in poverty. The release of the rich list in 2008 has caused us to think more: how to develop our literature in the new era? Where is China's literary outlet?
Second, I burst into tears.
Keywords: personality level of Bodhisattva after death
5. 12 in China in 2008 was an extremely sad day. In just a few seconds, the lives of tens of thousands of compatriots were swallowed up instantly. 5. 12 Wenchuan shocked the whole land of China and the hearts of hundreds of millions of people in China. This spring has become a little cold, so cold that we tore our hearts apart. However, Yu was criticized by the cultural circles for publishing a blog post on June 5 to comfort the victims who lost their loved ones, such as "He will become a bodhisattva after death". Of course, there are no fewer voices. Supporters think that Yu "once again shows the personality level of excellent intellectuals", while opponents think that Yu dances on the dead. Indeed, it is understandable that Yu wrote an article mourning his compatriots. At that moment of national disaster, he needed the call of literati and the power of words to unite Chinese descendants. The affected compatriots need not only material help, but also spiritual support. However, Yu's behavior vividly taught China literati a lesson: As a leading figure in literature, how to choose the right time and place and make the right remarks so as not to mislead the public.
Third, Wang Zhao in Shan Gui
Keywords: being a ghost is also happy.
On June 6th, The Unfinished Youth Supplement of Qilu Evening News published Ode to Grave Grave written by Wang Zhaoshan, Vice Chairman of Shandong Writers Association, which was quickly read by the whole world. The full text is as follows: "Self-report under the Ruins of the River" What is there to complain about avoiding natural disasters? Chairman's call, Prime Minister's call, the party's patriotism and love, sound into the ruins. 1.3 billion people are happy when they cry and do ghosts. The Silver Eagle Chariot saves the calf, Uncle Zuo Jun, the right police aunt, the national love, and it is enough to experience death. I just hope there is a screen in front of the grave, watch the Olympics together and cheer together. "Chairman Wang's" Being a Ghost Makes You Happy "was really shocking, and it was quickly dubbed" Ghost Story ". We can't help asking: will a person feel happy when he dies in an earthquake? Life is precious because it only comes once. If a person's life is gone, will he still look forward to a TV screen in front of the grave, waving the flag for the athletes in China? This irresponsible and indifferent style of writing once again angered netizens and demanded that Wang Zhaoshan be expelled from the writers association. Wang Zhaoshan's irresponsibility caused us to think more. When Yu's blog post storm has not stopped, it has once again triggered a big discussion about what responsibilities literati should bear to literature and the public.
Fourth, Xie Jin's curtain call
Keywords: Xie Jin is in the era, but Xie Jin has no era.
Legends of furong town, herdsmen and Tian Yun, garlands at the foot of the mountain, etc. Xie Lao's works made countless audiences cry. June 65438+10/October 65438+August 2008, Xie Lao died in his hometown of Shangyu, Zhejiang, at the age of 85. Xie Lao's departure is a great loss for China Film Festival. Some people say that if we divide the 20th century into two halves and name some cultural figures in China who have the greatest influence in the second half of 50 years, then even if we narrow the list to a minimum, it is bound to be grateful for the old virtues. In the 20th century, movies were undoubtedly a cultural power station. When an excellent film is staged, it often becomes a national festival, and Xie Lao is the person in charge of this festival. There is a famous saying that has been circulated by people: "Xie Jin has an era, but Xie Jin has no era." This is the basis for the living Xie Jin to win respect, and it is also the reason why the dead Xie Jin attracts people's infinite nostalgia.
Just before Xie Lao's bones were cold, a well-known "big mouth" in the entertainment circle began to bombard Xie Lao and boasted in his blog that he had mastered some unknown "inside stories" about Xie Lao. After the shelling incident, Ren Qian, director of the Media Organization Management Department of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, denounced Dazui on behalf of the government. Dazui not only refused to admit his mistake, but also wrote in his blog that he would sue the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television. The shameless ugly face of this "big mouth" ignited a big discussion on professional ethics among netizens and the media, which made us think for a long time: What kind of era has this era become? Xie Lao's departure also reminds us of the "big mouth" of the entertainment circle.
Verb (abbreviation of verb) He three old ladies's millions of poems
Keywords:: the best collection of poems in history
At the end of June this year, The Grey Magpie, a collection of poems by He three old ladies, was published, which caused a shock in the poetry circle. This collection of poems is priced at 98 yuan and is called "the best collection of poems in history". He three old ladies publicly shouted: "My poems are not sold to the poor because they can't afford them; My poetry collection is not sold to businessmen because they can't understand it; My poems are not sold to soulless people because they read them for nothing. The people who should buy my poems most are professors, lecturers, graduate students and undergraduates in the Chinese department of the university. A guy who can't even appreciate poetry doesn't deserve to stay in college. "
What three old ladies said reminds us of this sentence: People nowadays can be called "poets" as long as they can write and line up a few words. He three old ladies's words have given those who are still dreaming of poets a hard iron fist, because poems are written for those who are "affordable, understandable and have souls", which undoubtedly tells us that his poems have the most "souls", thus marking the highest price of China's poetry collections, and thus becoming the "best poetry collection in the history" of China literature. However, no matter how three old ladies flaunts himself, we can't deny that high prices may not buy nobility. Whether your grey magpie will eventually become golden phoenix is not your personal decision, but its future is in the hands of readers.
Keywords: Chairman of Writers Association, Network Writer
Internet and traditional writers have always been "incompatible". However, on September 20th, the "Novel Competition of Writers' Associations of 30 Provinces and Cities in China" hosted by the original literature website's starting point brought them in close contact. The contest is a "luxury lineup" composed of chairmen or vice-chairmen of writers' associations in 30 provinces and cities across the country.
Speaking of it, literary lovers generally stop at the top of the mountain for these chairmen and never know how deep their foundation and level are. The performance of this competition gave us an eye-opener In a popular phrase, this competition is 8 18 your basic skills. Not to mention the purpose of the organizer's starting point network, but the final result of PK is surprising. According to the Tianfu Morning Post survey, the chairman's click-through rate suffered a fiasco. In the hottest week of the competition, the reading volume is not as good as that of popular online novels (115). Seeing this result, we began to worry: is it the poor writing style of the chairmen or the change of reading habits of contemporary people? I think the result is self-evident, and it is precisely because of the change of people's reading habits that this can only end. On the other hand, does it also reflect the impetuousness of the literary world, which seems to be noisy everywhere, but it is actually hypocritical. When everything is calm, it is destined to be a floating cloud that dissipates. Literary creation itself is a long-term boring and lonely process, and it is gold that finally washes away the gravel for us.
Han Qi Han Yan station presidium
Keywords: Chairman of Writers Association, post-80s writer
September is an eventful autumn in China's literary world. Just as the chairmen of writers' associations openly compete with online writers, Mr. Zheng, vice chairman of Henan Writers' Association, took the lead in showing his sword, stood firm and prepared to attack. As a result, Han Han, a post-80s writer, suddenly intercepted, concealed weapons, was full of understanding, and was identified by Han Han as Mr. Zheng's profound understanding of the spirit of the online "title party". He also said that "the headline party is also a party, and it is comprehending the spirit of the party whenever and wherever. This is the professional demeanor of a professional writer. " Mr. Zheng had to take "people can't be shameless enough to make irresponsible remarks" as the most self-defense magic weapon to avoid their injuries. What bird is Han Han? So many people pretend to be his father and claim to strangle him. However, it is such an outspoken bird that stirs up the restless literary world in China.
The wind in September gradually cooled down. It should have been a golden season of autumn harvest, but this autumn has become a real "eventful autumn" in the literary world because of a war of words.
Eight, the seven-year itch of Mao Dun Award
Keywords: Mao Dun Literature Award is widely questioned
The four-year Mao Dun Literature Award 65438+ was announced on the evening of127, and the newly released four award-winning works are: Jia Pingwa's Shaanxi Opera, Chi Zijian's Right Bank of Ergon, Mai Jia's Anti-Other Conspiracy and Zhou Daxin's Lakes and Mountains. These four winning works were selected from 24 finalists and voted by the judges. As the highest prize of China's novels, the Mao Dun Literature Award has been awarded for six times. It seems that every award is controversial, and this one is no exception. Many people think that the winning works have not reached their due heights, and the authority of this year's Mao Dun Literature Award is greatly reduced due to the limitation of the award mechanism.
I dare say that most people didn't know much about the work before they learned the result, and most of them didn't even read it. The guiding ideology of Mao Dun's Literature Award has such a direction: "Follow literature and art to serve the people and socialism". No wonder some people question the authority of this award-winning work. Since it is a literary work serving the broad masses of the people, it won the grand prize in a muddle without being read by many people. Many domestic writers and literary critics have also expressed their views, and some even denounced it as an idiot award.
Nine. China Cultural City
Keywords: 30 billion cultural symbol cities
On March 9th, Sun Shuyi, a member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), caused an uproar in his speech on "Speeding up the construction of a famous Chinese cultural city and building a spiritual home for the Chinese nation". Hou Lu, who is also a member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and the legal representative of Anhui Dramatists Association, clearly pointed out: "I am a taxpayer, and I am opposed to using my money to engage in such things and to engage in large-scale construction in the name of culture!" Many members attending the meeting were also shocked by the huge investment in cultural symbol cities.
Indeed, as representative Hou Lu said, we can see that national culture needs to be promoted in the name of culture almost everywhere. However, the promotion of a culture can not be carried forward by building some so-called landmark buildings. Some essences of national culture have not been established before, but they have not been passed down. Isn't it widely circulated? When we need to rescue and protect national culture, people will understand no matter how much money we spend, but just building a "cultural city" represents the promotion of national culture. Imagine how interesting this is. As some people in cultural circles have pointed out: If this is all right, if we buy a foreign-made aircraft carrier, won't the strength of China's entire navy go up? ......
Ten, the poet's death
Keywords: 29-year-old poet Wu hanged himself at home
According to Culture Weekend, my 29-year-old Shu Tong, whose original name was Zeng Huankai, started publishing on 1995. Up to now, more than 500 literary works have been published in dozens of national newspapers, such as Poetry Magazine, Star, Yalu River and Beijing Literature and Works, and have been awarded the title of Poetry Magazine. Such a talented young poet hanged himself at his home in Dongguan in August 1, which made the poetry world lament. My friend speculated that the cause of my classmate's suicide might be his illness and the pressure of housing supply. Wu wrote an article about house slaves after buying a house last year. In the article, he revealed that he borrowed money from all parties to make up the down payment of 654.38+10,000 yuan to buy a suite, and he and his girlfriend needed to pay more than 2,000 yuan in mortgage to the bank every month. After I lost my job in the same tree, my girlfriend's salary was only enough to pay off the mortgage. Coupled with an illness, life is getting more and more embarrassing. "When he left, he only had more than 200 yuan in cash, and the remaining deposit on the card was less than 3,000 yuan."
Different from the writers on the rich list of writers in 2008, my paulownia tree planted buttonwood, but it didn't attract the phoenix. In this society with great pressure of survival, the poet's sentimental heart is so fragile. My paulownia tree hangs, whether it is the death of the poet or the death of the "house slave", it makes people feel a little tragic and helpless. People say that poets are lonely, and it is because of loneliness that exciting and shocking poems are produced. When loneliness becomes the killer of poets, we can only sigh. When the embarrassing life drives the poet to the wall, what can we do except feel sad?
