Financial Associated Press, February 21 (Editor Zhao Hao) The latest news shows that the American technology giant Meta Platforms has cut equity incentives for most employees for the second consecutive year. People familiar with the matter revealed
Recently, US President Trump and former President Obama came into conflict over "alien"!
Earlier, when Obama was asked in an interview whether aliens really existed, he said that aliens "do exist" but he had not seen them. In response, Trump accused Obama of leaking "confidential intelligence," which may constitute a crime.
On February 14, local time, Obama and self-media personality Brian Taylor Cohen jointly released an interview video. After discussing a number of social issues, Cohen asked Obama: "Do aliens really exist?" Obama said that aliens "do exist," but he has never seen them. Obama also did not explain in detail what he meant by "does exist."

Obama also denied a widespread speculation about aliens: "We do not imprison aliens in the legendary Area 51 Air Force Base, and there are no legendary underground facilities there." Then he half-jokingly said, "Unless there is a huge conspiracy that can be hidden from the President of the United States," the so-called rumors that "aliens are hidden in Area 51 Base" cannot be true.
After remarks about "aliens do exist" sparked controversy among netizens, on February 15, local time, Obama clarified on the social platform Instagram, "From a statistical point of view, the universe is so vast, the probability of life existing elsewhere is very high. But the distance between galaxies is very far, and the possibility of us being visited by aliens is very low, and during my tenure as president, I have not seen evidence of alien contact with us. Really."
The "Area 51" in the United States has always been considered by many people as a landing place for aliens and an alien research base in the United States, but the U.S. government has been vague when talking about this area. In recent years, the U.S. government has released many videos of UFOs, which has triggered a lot of speculation about aliens. However, none of the claims have been confirmed so far.
It is reported that this is not the first time Obama has talked about speculation about aliens. In 2021, Obama confirmed in an interview with a program that he had collected confidential information about aliens during his tenure as president, but he refused to disclose what he learned.

In response to Obama's remarks in a recent interview that he believed aliens "are real," on the afternoon of February 19, local time, while on his way to Georgia aboard the Air Force One special plane, U.S. President Trump said in response to a question from a Fox News reporter that Obama "shouldn't do that."
A reporter asked, so aliens are real? Trump said, "I don't know if they really exist, but I am sure that he leaked secrets. He made a big mistake and disclosed classified information without authorization. I have no opinion on this (alien issue), I have never discussed it. But many people have discussed it, and many people believe that aliens exist."
Reuters said that some media contacted the White House and Obama for comment. The White House said it had nothing to add to Trump's response. Obama did not respond to a request for comment.
It is understood that the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) held an expert group public meeting on May 31, 2023 for the first time on UFOs. The meeting was broadcast live to the public via NASA Web Podcast. Experts attending the meeting believed that obstacles such as a lack of high-quality data are still hindering the unraveling of mysteries such as UFOs or so-called unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP).
Later on the 19th local time, US President Trump posted on social media that in view of the "huge interest shown" by the public, he will instruct the Secretary of War and relevant departments and agencies to initiate the identification and release of government documents related to extraterrestrial life, unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP) and unidentified flying objects (UFO).
Trump said in the post that the scope of the declassification would include "any and all information" related to these "highly complex but extremely fascinating and important" topics. At the end of the article, he wrote: "May God bless America."
The 2026 CCTV Spring Festival Gala sketch "Grandma's Favorite" has come to an end, but a story about "True and False Cai Ming" continues to be warm and fermenting. The highly simulated bionic robot that shared the stage with Cai Ming in the show received an emotional home after causing misunderstandings backstage. The R&D company Songyan Dynamics officially presented it to Cai Ming himself as a special gift. This encounter between technology and art has been given a warm footnote that goes beyond the stage.
This encounter of "fake and real" stems from a precise creation. Songyan Dynamics spent one and a half months on special customization for this Spring Festival Gala appearance. The team not only scanned Cai Ming's whole body, but also retrieved a large amount of image data to adjust his expression and movements. A particularly crucial step is to invite the royal makeup artist who has been working with Cai Ming for 30 years to hand-paint and detail the silicone face. It is this ingenuity that allowed the robot to successfully "fool" many of its peers during the rehearsal. When actor Yan Hexiang and others saw the "fake Cai Ming" standing still backstage, they greeted each other respectfully, but received no response. The misunderstanding was not resolved until they met the real person. Cai Ming had to explain with a smile: "That's not me." This episode became the biggest laugh point backstage of the Spring Festival Gala, and also confirmed the amazing breakthrough of bionic technology.
The Spring Festival Gala is not only a stage for display, but also a scene for “bringing goods” of cutting-edge technology. With the collective debut of domestic robot matrices including Songyan Power, Yushu Technology, Magic Atom and other brands, public attention to robots has soared. JD.com data shows that within two hours of the Spring Festival Gala, the number of robot searches increased by more than 300% month-on-month, and the popularity of signature models of various brands increased rapidly. These on-stage robots also have their own destiny: in addition to the "fake Cai Ming" who was given to the real person, the same panda robot unveiled by Magic Atomic Company at the Yibin branch was sold at a subsequent auction for 57,527 yuan, more than twice the original price.
This technological feast evokes an artistic memory spanning thirty years. In the 1996 Spring Festival Gala, Cai Ming created the classic character "Cauliflower" in the sketch "Robot Funny Talk". With his simple and enthusiastic performance, he planted the original imagination of humanoid robots in the hearts of hundreds of millions of viewers. Thirty years later, Cai Ming actually stood side by side with a bionic robot on the Spring Festival Gala stage, and the science fiction concept of the year became reality. From playing a robot to sharing the stage with a "bionic version" of himself, Cai Ming's artistic career has inadvertently become a unique spectrum for observing China's technological changes.
In the end, Songyan Dynamics’ decision to gift the robot to Cai Ming gave this incident a deeper meaning. This is no longer just a successful brand exposure or technology display, but is regarded by the public as a "heartwarming combination of technology and emotion." It is not only a sincere tribute to an artist's thirty-year stage career, but also symbolizes the maturity of domestic bionic robot technology from concept to integration of humanistic emotions. When "Fake Cai Ming" becomes a special collection in Cai Ming's home, this story reminds people that the ultimate direction of cutting-edge technology may be the profound understanding and gentle continuation of human emotions and memories.
Who would have thought that the most tear-jerking movie scene at the beginning of 2026 would not be the life-and-death fight between Wu Jing and Nicholas Tse, or Jet Li's look back on the screen after 14 years, but the Easter egg at the end of the film, where three old people standing in the wind and sand of the desert, wearing shabby clothes, mocking themselves as "old and useless".
Really, before the lights in the theater came on, when the subtitles were about to roll, and the screen cut to that scene, the boy next to me was stunned, and then whispered: "Fuck, it's them."
At that moment, goosebumps ran from my back to my head. Wherever these three people go, it is a living history of Chinese martial arts movies.
Three 260-year-old men, a living history of martial arts
The first person on the left is Yuan Heping, 81 years old.
It’s impossible for martial arts fans not to know this name. He is known as "the best martial artist in the world" by people in the world. The elegant duel in the bamboo forest in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and Neo's kung fu in "The Matrix" were all made by him. This time he was invited by Wu Jingli to direct "The Bodyguard" himself at the age of 80.
Eagle-eyed viewers discovered that his appearance in the easter egg - shabby clothes and weathered face - was a tribute to his father Yuan Xiaotian's image in the classic movie "Drunken Master". This is not just a look, it is a conversation spanning two generations. If my father's spirit in heaven saw it, he would probably be happy too.
The one in the middle, Zhang Xinyan, is 91 years old.
You may not be familiar with this name, but one sentence he said changed the fate of a young man. In 1982, he directed "Shaolin Temple", which brought martial arts movies to millions of households and made Jet Li, who was still a young man at the time, famous all over the country overnight. It can be said that without Zhang Xinyan, there would be no "Kung Fu Emperor" later.
The third person from the right is Wu Bin, 88 years old.
He is the vice president of the Chinese Martial Arts Association, but his more important identity is that he is the martial arts mentor of Jet Li, Wu Jing, and Donnie Yen, who are the leading figures in Chinese action movies. In other words, the most capable people on the screen now have to respectfully call him "Master" when they see him. Half of the Chinese action movies are his disciples.
The combined age of the three people is more than 260 years old.
They don't need to speak, as long as they stand there, their weight is as heavy as a thousand pounds.
Wu Jing's "little thoughts", it depends on how many people cry
To be honest, the intention of Wu Jing, who is the investor, producer, screenwriter and starring actor, to invite the three old men and put them at the end of the movie could not be more obvious.
This is no ordinary guest appearance, this is a solemn and respectful ceremony.
In this way, he is bowing to his mentor, the predecessors of martial arts movies, and that glorious era of martial arts.
Think about it, what did Wu Jing rely on to go from "Kung Fu Kid" to "Mr. Ten Billion Box Office" over the years? It’s the unwillingness to admit defeat and the almost paranoid love for martial arts movies. But he knows better than anyone else that he is standing on the shoulders of giants to get where he is today.
In those years, Yuan Heping taught him how to fight well, Zhang Xinyan taught him how to act impressively, and Wu Bin taught him how to practice well.
He remembered all these kindnesses.
So he brought them in and put them in the last shot of his movie. Let the audience remember these old people who dedicated their lives to martial arts movies before leaving.
This time I kneel, I kneel for my teacher's kindness, I kneel for my inheritance, and I kneel for the world that is filled with grudges and grudges.
What is more touching than the movie is the deep feeling behind the movie
Seeing this scene, I suddenly remembered a line from the movie:
"Children can do whatever they want, which is the most important thing in the world."
Our generation is accustomed to measuring everything by the input-output ratio - does this job have a future? Is this relationship worth it? Is this choice a good deal?
But he harshly suppressed the pure "I want to do it".
The "child" here refers not only to children, but also to the self deep inside each of us that has not been obliterated by the world.
Wu Jing wanted to make a martial arts film, so he made it. He wanted to invite the seniors, so he invited them. He wanted to give the Masters a shot at the end of the film, so he gave it to them.
What can ignite miracles in this complex world has always been pure love and belief, rather than shrewd calculations.
Desert, wind and sand, shabby clothes, vicissitudes of life smile. They say that they are "old and useless", but they stand there like a monument.
Jet Li's comeback is indeed big news, but anyone who really knows the industry knows that the three old men, who are 260 years old in total, are the biggest easter egg in "The Bodyguard".
Wu Jing used this easter egg to tell us: Jianghu never gets old, it just changes its way of inheritance.
And we may not be able to fight on the screen like them, but in our real lives, we can be "people of the world" who are not defined by the system or coerced by the world.
May there be a "child" in our hearts who can do whatever he wants.
May that pure love never fade away.

Lui Liangwei was born in Saigon, Vietnam on December 22, 1956. His family moved to Hong Kong in 1968. At that time, he was only about twelve years old. His life suddenly changed and he had to adapt to the new environment all over again. His mother had health problems in 1973, so he went to work in his father's handbag factory before finishing high school. Riding a motorcycle even left scars on his face.
In 1976, he applied for the TVB Artist Training Course. After graduating in 1977, he officially entered the industry, first playing small roles. In 1980, "Shanghai Beach" was broadcast. His performance as Ding Li made the audience remember his loyalty, and his career suddenly opened up. "The Lame Man" was released in 1991, which was a good box office success and received good reviews. He also received an Academy Award nomination.
In addition to filming, he also tried to run a small business. However, Hong Kong encountered a financial crisis in 1997 and lost a lot on his investments. He slowly recovered after selling part of his house. It was not until 2002 that the economy stabilized through the appreciation of stocks and his own home.
The first two marriages did not go very far. One was with Zhou Haimei in the United States in 1988, and they separated soon after. The other time was with Kuang Meiyun in 1996, which only lasted less than a year. He continues to film and maintain his fitness habits. He has many friends in the social circle and there are always people cheering for him at birthday parties. His life is busy but he lacks some stability.
Yang Xiaojuan was born in Guizhou in 1971. Her family had average financial conditions. She knew from a young age that she had to work hard on her own to study. After graduating from high school in 1988, she was admitted to the Department of Economics of Peking University. At that time, not many people could go to this school. She persisted by getting up early every day and going to bed late every day. She completed the economics and management major in four years and graduated at the age of 22.
Instead of staying in Beijing to find a stable job, she went directly south to Shenzhen. It was the early 1990s and there were many opportunities in Shenzhen. She started with the Moutai export business. She had to go to suppliers, negotiate prices, handle customs procedures, and send batches of liquor to overseas markets, accumulating her first pot of gold.
Later, she cooperated with a friend to open a handbag factory, taking OEM orders from foreign brands, supervising production and quality, calculating costs clearly, and making more and more orders. She has a good reputation in the Shenzhen business district and is reliable. People often come to her to help bridge problems between companies.
Relying on these solid achievements, she was later elected as the president of the Shenzhen Chamber of Commerce. In this position, she had to coordinate members from different industries, organize activities, and promote industry exchanges. She handled it in a clear and organized manner, and her network of contacts expanded from Shenzhen to the whole country. Before getting married, she had already laid a business foundation on her own. She was rich and knowledgeable, and she didn't need to rely on others at all.
Lu Liangwei and Yang Xiaojuan met at a friend's party in 1998. She had already established herself in the business world at that time, and the two had a good chat.
Lu Liangwei was deeply impressed by her and had more and more contacts with her. They registered their marriage in January 2001 and held their wedding at Le Pre Catelan restaurant in Paris, France on April 14 of the same year. The theme song of "Shanghai on the Beach" was played and witnessed by dozens of guests. After the wedding, they honeymooned in France.
His son Lu Shanyang was born in the same year. He was named because he wanted him to be kind and progressive. The life of a family of three is on the right track. Yang Xiaojuan does not put down what she is doing, but brings her experience to the family. In 2003, Lu Liangwei cooperated with a Chinese-American partner to establish Touch Media to do taxi in-car advertising. She helped to come up with ideas and explore the market. The project was rolled out in several cities and the income was good for a time.
She takes care of the family finances and gives Lu Liangwei a fixed pocket money every month. He used to spend money casually, but now the money he saves is invested in more stable projects. Lu Liangwei himself feels so secure. The family's assets have gradually increased, including several luxury homes in Hong Kong, as well as properties in mainland China and overseas.
She continued to manage businesses such as beauty and clothing agency, and opened stores in Beijing, Shanghai and other places. The two had a clear division of labor. Lu Liangwei was away filming to maintain his image, and she was in charge of investments and connections in the back. When his son Lu Shanyang grew up, he went to study at the University of Cambridge in the UK. After graduation, he worked as an intern in the IT industry. In 2023, he was already in his early twenties. His parents were relieved to see him doing things independently.
Lu Liangwei is still in good spirits these years. In 2025, he and his wife went to Sicily, Italy for vacation. The two have been together for more than 20 years, and their lives have become more and more stable. They rely on mutual support and practical cooperation.
Lu Liangwei has a good career and life. Yang Xiaojuan's business acumen and careful management have made him less worried. The family is together in harmony, and the marriage has truly come to an end.
Han Yueqiao was born in a military family in Zuoquan, Shanxi Province in 1957. Her parents were both in the army, and her upbringing was as strict as military camp rules. When she was seven years old, her parents saw that her body was thin, so they threw her into a sports school to practice gymnastics.
Fast forward to 1979, when she was twenty-two years old, and an opportunity struck her. The movie "Love and Inheritance" wanted a ballet girl to play the role of Han Shasha. With her solid dance skills, she got the role in the first try. After the movie was released, she became instantly popular and became a household name.
In the 1980s, she continued to take roles, such as playing a sentry in "The Outpost in the Birch Forest" and playing a national girl in "The Peacock Princess". She performed well in each film. She was so busy with her career that she still found time to study acting at the Shanghai Theater Academy. From 1983 to 1985, she learned lines and practiced expressions there.
She even directed her own drama, writing, directing, acting and producing in "The Same Sun", and she was so busy that she was sweating profusely. To put it bluntly, she was the kind of woman who refused to admit defeat and relied on her strength to gain a foothold step by step. Among the actresses of that era, she was considered top-notch.
When Han Yueqiao's career was booming, love affairs also followed. She met Zhang Ningyang, who was seven years older than her. He was born in 1950 and was an Air Force engineer. His father was Zhang Zhen, the vice chairman of the Military Commission. The Zhang family has a prominent background, and all of his brothers have worked brilliantly in the army.
Zhang Ningyang is steady and down-to-earth. The two were introduced to each other, got along well, and got married after being together for more than a year. The wedding was held in a low-key manner in the military compound. Most of the guests were veteran cadres, and everyone toasted.
During the newlywed period, the two lived a harmonious life, getting up early to have breakfast, walking and chatting on weekends, and their relationship was quite harmonious. Zhang Ningyang was busy with work, but he was also considerate to her. When she was tired from filming, he would rub her shoulders.
But after a few years of marriage, problems slowly emerged. Zhang Ningyang is engaged in technical research and travels for several months all year round. She also travels across the country on the crew, and the two of them never see each other. We kept in touch by phone, which was okay at first, but then we talked less and less. Sometimes he asked her if she could do less drama and take care of her family more, and she would be quiet for a long time.
This tug-of-war lasted for several years, and by the end of 1992, the two sat down and signed a divorce agreement. There was no quarrel, they broke up peacefully. She later recalled that it ended not because of anyone's fault, but because the paths were different. Zhang Ningyang later reorganized her family, and she did not complain and continued her life.
Not long after the divorce, Han Yueqiao encountered an even bigger blow. In the mid-1990s, her brother was diagnosed with terminal cancer. Without saying a word, she turned down all her film appointments and went home to take care of him. Her brother is her closest family member. She watches over him every day and helps take care of everything. During those years, she stayed with her brother for more than seven years, during which time she began to learn painting to distract herself.
Her younger brother loves to draw, so she started to follow him, from simple doodling to serious study. At first it was just to kill time, but then I became really obsessed. After her brother passed away, she carried his wishes and continued to delve into painting.
In 2006, she went to Italy to see an art exhibition. She was inspired there and came back to apply for the Art School of Peking University to systematically learn techniques. She sat in the front row during class, listened carefully and took notes, and practiced until late at night when she went home.
Her painting style is varied, including oil paintings and Chinese paintings. The themes are mostly landscapes, flowers and birds, incorporating personal feelings. At first, he appeared in small exhibitions and got a good response. Later, he held a personal exhibition and his works sold well. One painting was also collected by a Belgian princess, which gave her a foothold in the painting world.
Her works have appeared several times at auctions, and the prices are quite high. She also does charity, donating money from selling paintings, and organizes office benefit exhibitions to call on everyone to help. Painting became her new career, without the aura of the screen, but she felt more comfortable. Han Yueqiao's career change was unambiguous. From actor to painter, he relied on real skills. Her works are not just for fun, they are recognized by professionals.
She hasn't stopped yet. In 2024, she filmed the comedy "Fuding Family", playing a mother-in-law role and taking it seriously. I also tried the short play "Happy Chinese New Year Flower Buns and Macarons" to learn Internet skills from young people. I usually like to drive and collect models, which are very stable to drive.
I cook for my parents, carry a camera to take pictures of scenery in my spare time, and prepare a photo album. She often spends time in the studio, writing every stroke and piling her works on the wall. She lives independently and does not rely on others. Han Yueqiao's life, from acting to painting, has been down to earth every step of the way. Her brother's incident caused her to change careers, but it also allowed her to find a new direction. Her story, to put it bluntly, is that she refuses to accept old age and never stops.
