Produced by Yangma, "Good Time" starring Mei Ting and Tian Yu, with a period drama theme and full of various BUFFs, has been well received since its launch.
But no one expected that because of his "big pie face", the audience's reputation has plummeted.
Recently, the TV series "Good Time" was officially launched. This drama mainly tells the story of middle-aged single men and women that took place in the late 1970s.
One is Zhuang Xianxian, who has two sons and a daughter, and the other is Su Xiaoman, who has a son and a daughter. The situation of raising a family destined that their relationship will not be smooth.
Five troubled children were forcibly brought together because of their parents' union. You can guess with your fingers that their future life will be chaotic.
Although this kind of TV series is about the shortcomings of parents at first glance, and there is no soul-stirring plot, it happens that this kind of life that is closest to the public is also the most touching.
"Alley People" is the best example.
At the same time, this drama also invited Mei Ting and Tian Yu to sit in, paired with young actors such as Chen Haoyu, which instantly increased the desire to watch.
Facts have proved that this drama did not disappoint everyone. The acting skills of Mei Ting and Tian Yu were online, and the audience was transported into that era as soon as it was aired.
Other actors such as Chen Haoyu and Liu Yitie did not hold back and steadily caught the scenes of the two seniors.
In just a few episodes, the story of two families in the late 1970s was slowly unfolded in front of the audience.
However, just when everyone was getting carried away, the appearance of a character broke the beauty.
In the play, Zhuang Xianxian has an apprentice in the factory. She is also the best friend and neighbor of Zhuang Xianxian's daughter, Zhuang Haohao. She is a carefree girl named Ye Aihua.
This character mainly serves as a flavoring agent to promote the development of the plot, and at the same time shows the independent and self-reliant side of women to the audience.
Judging from the plot content and logic, the character Ye Aihua is still necessary to exist, but when it comes to the choice of actors, it is a matter of taste and wisdom.
It is talk show actor Li Xueqin who plays Ye Aihua.
Perhaps instead of this identity, she should be described as "actor" now. Since becoming popular, she has participated in more than 20 film and television dramas.
Perhaps in the eyes of some netizens, Li Xueqin, who is not from a professional background, has reached this point as a result of her hard work, so she deserves to be sought after and become an idol among fans.
But from a professional perspective, Li Xueqin is not only unable to match her identity as an actor, she has even set a wrong example for many young people who have dreams of becoming stars.
Let’s talk about this drama first. Li Xueqin’s Ye Aihua’s character is not complicated, but her emotions are not single.
But in Li Xueqin's performance, the audience was never able to feel the progression of her emotions.
Xiao Tao in "Broken Waist", Wu Yun in "Hometown, Goodbye", etc. Among the same type of characters, Li Xueqin did not accurately express the differences between different characters.
She always looks the same in every role she plays, silly and tactless.
The second problem is her appearance. The artistic photos are very good, but in the dynamic video, the flaws of the facial features are clearly visible, including protruding cheekbones, a big face, small eyes, and a not-so-good-looking mouth.
Of course, it might not be enough to say that she is ugly, she just looks like an ordinary person, but when placed next to female celebrities who are famous for their beauty, Li Xueqin is really "ugly".
Although we do not deny that not all film and television dramas and roles need to be played by a stunning beauty, many times they also need actors like Li Xueqin whose appearance is closer to the lives of ordinary people.
But the problem is that she must first be an actor with online acting skills, and then she can be qualified to discuss whether she is suitable for the corresponding role.
Some netizens even bluntly stated that they had high expectations for this drama and thought it would become the next "Alley Family".
But because of Li Xueqin's appearance, all expectations were dashed, and the quality of the entire drama was also lowered a lot.
Although the words may not sound good, they are the sentiments of many netizens. Now that Li Xueqin has decided to enter the film and television industry, she must be mentally prepared to accept public criticism.
As mentioned above, I believe that in the eyes of Li Xueqin and the fans who love her, whether it is TV or movies, they are resources that Li Xueqin has obtained through her own efforts and should not be criticized.
But we might as well look at this from a different perspective. Without outstanding acting skills or stunning beauty, Li Xueqin's film and television resources are so good.
Although most of them are supporting roles, her supporting roles are all very present, with close-ups, lines, character lines, etc., there is no shortage of them.
If you can perform well, it is not impossible to become famous overnight.
But she does not have the matching conditions for an actor, so what is the reason that allows her to obtain these enviable resources?
The answer is obvious, popularity, or traffic, because she became popular through talk shows and has a very huge audience and fan base.
In the past few years, the companies behind her have also been promoting her, including variety shows, evening parties, various activities, etc., constantly increasing her popularity and consolidating her popularity.
Once there is traffic, it will naturally attract the attention of capital, and resources will follow.
It doesn't matter whether you have acting skills or not, and it doesn't matter whether you have looks. These high thresholds that once shut out countless people with dreams of film and television are now in vain in front of Li Xueqin.
I’m sure some people will say that this is sour grapes. This kind of narrow-minded thinking cannot see the deeper darkness and helplessness behind it.
If traffic is really king and skills are no longer the core, does that mean that everyone can use traffic as the key to open the door to internal entertainment, and it will be unimpeded?
The next extension must be to have no lower limit on traffic. Although this situation is not uncommon now, at least everyone still maintains the most basic dignity.
If this dignity is torn to pieces, where can we talk about three views, positive energy and role models?
Li Xueqin can be successful, can be loved by the public, and can even act.
But professional matters must be left to professionals. Before she can no longer be called a professional actor, please return film and television dramas to professional actors.
I believe that even without her, these film and television dramas can be filmed smoothly, and suitable candidates can be found for those roles, even more suitable than her.
Talk shows are what she is good at and the basis for her fortune.
Now, she is putting more time and energy into other places, and is careful to end up in a mess.
Chongming Narcissus is a traditional flower loved by Shanghai residents. Nowadays, this old industry is ushering in a new wave. From e-commerce live broadcast to seed source innovation, a group of young people are injecting new vitality into the Chongming narcissus industry. They not only double the value of traditional narcissus, but also use their youthful wisdom to help their hometown find a new path for rural revitalization.
"There are already more than 20 orders placed now, come on! If you can place 100 orders today, I will apply for the lowest discount, okay?" Since the end of last year, a live broadcast room in Nanjiang Village, Xianghua Town, Chongming has been busy, and the local "town flower" - Chongming Narcissus is being sold on the screen. However, what is sold here are not ordinary bulbs, but narcissus bonsais that have been carved and processed using intangible cultural heritage techniques.
The anchor in front of the camera is from a young team called "Ruiyi" from a village-run enterprise. The six members are all born in the 1990s, and most of them are Chongming locals. In order to do this job well, they studied seriously for several months with an intangible cultural heritage master from Zhangzhou, Fujian, and gradually mastered the art of narcissus carving.
"At the beginning, I didn't dare to make serious moves because I had never done it before." Ruiyi team member Zhao Yaoyao said with a smile, "Now I am almost sure of it. I feel very happy to be able to take everyone to understand the characteristics of my hometown."
In the camera, another anchor is holding a pot of narcissus and introducing it enthusiastically: "The pot on my right is called 'Flower Time'. If you buy a pot like this, you will have at least fifty or sixty flowers..." With the participation of this group of young people, this winter, more than 50,000 pots of narcissus have been sold in the village. They also developed many cultural and creative products by themselves, such as small ornaments that reproduced the double-petal shape of Chongming Narcissus using quicksand technology. "This is very popular among young people at exhibitions, including markets." Ruiyi team member Guo Meng picked up a sample and introduced it.
In addition to live streaming to bring goods, this group of young people will also go to governments, enterprises, and schools every month to do interactive promotions, hoping to inspire more people to expand Chongming's Narcissus economy. "Our family also has a small tradition of carving." Li Jiayi, general manager of Shanghai Xiangronghua Agricultural Development Co., Ltd., said, "I want to pick up these traditional things from the old man's past and improve and develop the economy at home. I also hope to drive the farmers who watched me grow up to increase their income and become rich."
At the other end of Chongming Island, in the Chongming Modern Agriculture Park, another young team is also surrounding the daffodils. They spent their efforts on source innovation.
"I am currently studying the dyeing of narcissus. Later, through dyeing, we can also make the bulbs grown by everyone bloom with the same color." Xu Yuhang, production director of the Narcissus Provenance Center of Chongming Agricultural Development Group, was squatting in the experimental field to introduce his new attempt.
An experimental field of about five acres may grow narcissus with colorful petals and plump flowers in the future. The team also selected fifteen varieties of daffodils and tried to make them take root and sprout for the first time in Chongming. "Most of its flower shapes are trumpet-shaped or bowl-shaped, and the flower color may be relatively solid, so introducing foreign varieties can give you more choices." Mao Chongming, technical director of tissue culture at the Provenance Center, explained.
This R&D team has a total of 11 people. In order to select high-quality seed sources, they visited local farmers and cooperatives and "selected the best" from about 100,000 seed bulbs before selecting this batch of good seedlings with green leaves and well-proportioned growth. Next, they will "reset" the starting point of health for Narcissus from the cellular level through a series of operations such as explant disinfection, induction culture, and ex vivo detoxification in a modern tissue culture laboratory covering an area of 1,350 square meters. "I grew up in Shanghai. I am very happy to be able to make some contributions to Shanghai. It happens to be doing something professional that I like." Mao Congming said with a smile.
At present, the Narcissus Provenance Center has successfully cultivated a batch of healthy tissue culture seedlings. It is expected that the first batch of detoxified high-quality Chongming narcissus bulbs will be officially launched in the next one to two years. Yang Weibing, manager of Dianwei Agriculture Co., Ltd. of Chongming Agricultural Development Group, made a calculation: "The traditional method is to pick two lateral buds from the bulbs in the second year, which is relatively slow. But through tissue culture, one bulb can theoretically reach the level of 128 bulbs a year."
"During the 15th Five-Year Plan, we will expand the entire area of daffodils to more than 1,000 acres, with an annual output of more than 2 million narcissus balls and an annual output value of more than 20 million." Huang Qing, deputy mayor of Xianghua Town, Chongming District, said with confidence, "We will expand the market so that more of our citizens can know our daffodils."
A narcissus is passed down from generation to generation. From old craftsmanship to new industry, Chongming Narcissus industry is undergoing a "metamorphosis", and the unique carving skills of the older generation are being transformed into cultural and creative products in the eyes of young people. The best way to protect intangible cultural heritage is to let it live in the market. Technology empowerment and the update of sales channels may pave a fragrant road for industry prosperity and villagers' common prosperity.
Look at the news reporter: Xu Xiaoyang
Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan
According to Kyodo News, Japan's Deputy Chief Cabinet Secretary Kei Sato said at a press conference on the 24th that Japan strongly protested China's inclusion of Japanese companies in the export control list and demanded that the measures be withdrawn.
China's Ministry of Commerce issued an announcement on the 24th, adding 20 Japanese entities "involved in enhancing Japan's military strength" to the export control list, including subsidiaries of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Kawasaki Heavy Industries, etc. From now on, export operators are prohibited from exporting dual-use items to these 20 entities. Kyodo News said this may take into account the export of rare earths. This move seems to be a countermeasure to Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's Taiwan-related defense, and is intended to increase pressure on Japan.
Another announcement from the Chinese Ministry of Commerce showed that 20 other Japanese entities, including Subaru, Hino Motors, and TDK, were included in the export control watch list. The announcement pointed out that the end user and end use of dual-use items cannot be verified, and the Ministry of Commerce will implement stricter review of the export of dual-use items by entities on the watch list. Kyodo News believes that exports of rare earths and other items that the Chinese government defines as dual-use items may further stagnate.
Kei Sato said: "Absolutely unacceptable and extremely regrettable. We have lodged a strong protest and requested the withdrawal of the measures."
The named companies expressed opinions such as "the impact will be assessed."
A spokesman for the Chinese Ministry of Commerce said that the above-mentioned measures are aimed at stopping Japan's "remilitarization" and nuclear weapons attempts, and are completely legitimate, reasonable and legal. China's listing in accordance with the law only targets a small number of Japanese entities. The relevant measures only target dual-use items and will not affect the normal economic and trade exchanges between China and Japan. Japanese entities that are honest and law-abiding have nothing to worry about.
How to send express delivery from Japan to China? How do Chinese purchasing agents and Japanese e-commerce companies in Japan send express products to China? How to express items purchased in Japan back to China?

According to Ukrainian media reports on February 26, Trump told Zelensky that he hoped to end Russia’s all-out war in Ukraine within a month.
According to the latest call between the two, quoted by the Axios website citing people familiar with the matter, Trump expressed his hope to push for a peace agreement as soon as possible. One of the sources said Trump believes the war "has gone on for too long" and wants to see it end within a month.
Three people familiar with the matter said the atmosphere of the 30-minute call was friendly and positive.
One of the sources said that during the call, Zelensky thanked the United States for its support and said that only Trump could persuade Putin to cease the war. Zelensky also expressed hope that the war will end this year.
The two leaders also discussed the possibility of holding a tripartite summit between Trump, Zelensky and Putin. Trump said he would push for such a meeting if talks between U.S., Russian and Ukrainian officials made progress in early March.
A Ukrainian official told Axios that Trump also reiterated his willingness to provide Ukraine with substantial U.S. security guarantees in a potential peace deal.
The call took place the day after the fourth anniversary of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine and shortly before planned talks in Geneva between U.S. envoys Kushner and Vitkov and members of Zelensky's negotiating team. Kushner and Vitkov also participated in the call.
Russian economic envoy Dmitriev may attend a separate meeting in Geneva, Axios website said, citing an anonymous source. According to Agence France-Presse, Russian state-run media TASS also reported that he would attend the meeting to discuss economic issues with U.S. officials.
After the call with Trump, Zelensky said on social media that they discussed the upcoming negotiating agenda in Geneva and preparations for a tripartite meeting of the full negotiating team in early March.
Zelensky wrote: "We expect this meeting to create opportunities to advance negotiations to the leadership level. President Trump supports this step arrangement. It is the only way to resolve all complex and sensitive issues and ultimately end the war."
The Ukrainian leader has previously said that a direct meeting with Putin is necessary to resolve the most difficult issues.
Ukraine and the United States are due to open a new round of talks in Geneva on Thursday aimed at ending Russia's four-year invasion, even as Moscow launched a new round of attacks in Ukraine overnight.
The Geneva meeting will bring together Ukraine's chief negotiator and former defense minister Umerov as well as Trump's envoys Vitkov and Kushner. A full three-party meeting including Russia is expected to be held in early March.
Kyiv hopes that substantive progress in the Geneva negotiations will pave the way for leadership-level negotiations.
Hours before the talks, Russian troops launched a wave of pre-dawn attacks. Explosions were heard in central Kiev after authorities issued an air threat alert.
The Ukrainian Air Force said high-speed targets were flying towards the capital, and later Kiev city officials confirmed that Russia had used drones and ballistic missiles.
Attacks were also reported in the Kharkiv, Zaporozhye and Dnipropetrovsk regions, where local authorities said dozens of people were injured.
The talks remain deadlocked, with the main disagreement over the future of the Donbass region in eastern Ukraine. Russia demands full control of the Donetsk region and threatens to seize it by force if Kiev refuses.
Ukraine rejected the request and insisted it would not agree to any deal without solid security guarantees against future aggression.

Travel media Skift recently released an interesting hotel loyalty ranking. It is not ranked by the total number of members, but by a new dimension - "the number of members per room."
What does this mean?
To put it simply, it is to see how many members can stay in the hotel.
According to this algorithm, "Huazhu Club" defeated many international hotel groups and topped the list with 243 members per room. This number is almost twice that of Marriott Bonvoy (143 members per room), which has the second largest total number of members in the industry. Hilton ranks only 174th in this indicator, ranking fourth. Internationally renowned hotel groups such as Hyatt, InterContinental, and Wyndham ranked 6th, 8th, and 10th respectively.
In terms of the total number of members, Huazhu Club also topped the list with 288 million members.
If the total number of members is regarded as a reflection of the hotel's "influence", then the "number of members per room" is more like a "comprehensive index" - taking into account the differences in the size of the hotel group, a clearer understanding of the actual development of its loyalty program.
This means that Huazhu Club not only leads in membership scale, but also has amazing user loyalty.
This has been vividly confirmed in the hiking circle around me.
Recently, Huazhu has been very popular about the 318 Sichuan-Tibet Line. As a hiking enthusiast, many of my friends often take this line. After chatting, I discovered that many of them are members of Huazhu, and upon hearing the news, they all said, "I feel more at ease with Huazhu. It is 100 times more reliable than hotels and B&Bs!"
This kind of heartfelt recognition may be the best reflection of the high stickiness of Huazhu members.
global hospitality industry
Stuck in "Member Anxiety"
In recent years, the global hotel industry has fallen into a strange "member anxiety".
Major hotels have promoted their total number of members: Marriott 248 million, Hilton 226 million, Intercontinental 145 million... Although the numbers may seem eye-catching, people in the industry know that compared to the total number, the more long-term value is actually the activity of members.
Some members may have never opened the APP and do not remember registering, and their points balance has been zero for a long time.
After the impact of the epidemic, hotel groups accelerated store openings while shrinking their point policies.
Members found that the more points they accumulated, the more useless they became—from assets to “lottery tickets.”
The growth rate of loyal members simply cannot outpace the growth rate of stores.
What’s even more cruel is that traffic sovereignty in the hotel industry is being eroded bit by bit by OTAs.
Booking, Meituan, and Ctrip have user portals and price comparison algorithms, and their points applications are becoming more and more widespread, and they are attracting customers step by step.
As a result, members have become “puffy” digital assets.
From this perspective, the 243 guests in each room of Huazhu show the positive growth of loyalty members and scale development.
And behind it lies a "shuffle" of the global hotel industry by Chinese hotel brands.
From 0 to 288 million,
How does Huazhu do it?
More than ten years ago, the membership system of China's hotel industry was almost a wasteland.
At that time, membership cards had to be registered manually at the front desk, and points were only stored in the system and could not be seen or used.
In 2008, in an era when guests were troubled by cumbersome check-out and check-out procedures, Hanting broke precedent and implemented "zero-second check-out", allowing members to feel an unprecedented sense of pride.
In 2013, "points monetization", which is rare in the hotel industry, was realized and can be used as money.
In 2014, Huazhuhui App was launched, and the membership system changed from offline cards to an online ecosystem.
Over the past ten years, this system has grown from a simple accommodation discount to a complete "accommodation + transportation" life system:
You can use the app to upgrade room types, delay check-out, and send laundry with one click. You can also use points to redeem products, video memberships, coupons, performance tickets, and even connect with membership rights such as Juneyao Airlines and Didi Chuxing.
In the blink of an eye, in 2025, the number of Huazhu Club members exceeded 288 million, surpassing Marriott and Hilton to become the number one in the world.
But numbers are just results, what’s more important is logic.
In the eyes of traditional hotel groups, members are marketing accessories, the product of discounts and points. In Huazhu's model, members are traffic portals, repurchase engines, and ecological nodes.
Every click, every point, and every room upgrade strengthens the user's stickiness.
The proportion of direct bookings by members of Huazhu Club has reached 65.1%, which means that two out of every three guests have direct private traffic from Huazhu Club - this is a rare high proportion in the world.
Counterattack on OTA traffic sovereignty
To understand the rise of the Huazhu Club membership system, we have to start with a long-term business game.
In the past ten years, the biggest pain point in the global hotel industry is not building houses, but who controls the customer entrance.
OTA has mastered "search and price comparison", and the brand has lost its direct connection; members have mastered "repurchase and trust", but if it is interrupted by OTA, the brand will be speechless.
The path chosen by Huazhu is to build a closed loop of its own traffic from the beginning.
From the official website, APP, mini-programs, to points malls, co-branded credit cards, to social media and content-based planting, it is systematically "pulling users back into its arms."
what does that mean?
This means that Huazhu does not have to rely on OTAs to gain exposure, nor does it have to passively give away profits - members themselves are the most accurate and lowest-cost traffic entrance.
The capital market knows this best.
In the eyes of investment banks, members are not "users" but "assets": they represent cash flow certainty, repurchase rate and bargaining power.
If you have enough "active" members, you can negotiate better bank co-branded card rates and lower financing costs.
This is what gives Huazhu the confidence to surpass international giants.
At the consumer level, Huazhu’s loyalty system is also reshaping industry perception.
Others turn points into routines, Huazhu turns points into currency; others rely on shouting slogans to brainwash people, while Huazhu relies on experience to retain people.
This is the core logic of Huazhu to win the membership war: getting members is not a marketing tool, but the business model itself.
In an era when traffic is cut by platforms and trust is diluted by algorithms, Huazhu’s membership model makes “direct connections” more valuable again.
