Ewha Womans University in South Korea has always been a popular attraction for many tourists. Recently, some netizens shared a banner from the school on social platforms that read "I am your future boss, not your future wife." (I am not your future wife, but your future boss), which quickly sparked heated discussions.

Netizens took photos of the banners of South Korea's Ewha Womans University and said, "The slogan of South Korea's Ewha Womans University will never go out of style." (Picture taken from @yumous social platform "Threads")

Based on their own experiences, many netizens said that in some social concepts, women's achievements are sometimes simplified to the condition of "marrying well". Some schools even list "Mrs. So-and-so" as one of the titles of outstanding alumni, which has triggered discussions about the differences in gender role expectations.

It coincides with the Tomb Sweeping Day holiday, and many people return to their hometowns to visit their graves, and it is inevitable that relatives and friends will ask about their current situation. Some netizens shared that after she was admitted to Tsinghua University, her elders responded, "It's good to be married to an engineer," which made her feel that her efforts and future were ignored. This view of marriage as the final destination of women has aroused a lot of resonance.

Some netizens posted a banner taken at Ewha Womans University and bluntly said, "This slogan will never go out of style." In the comment area, many female netizens expressed their agreement: "I hope one day such slogans can be engraved on the wall" "I was very shocked when I saw it for the first time" "When I was enrolled in school, I saw that outstanding alumni were mostly labeled as 'Mrs.

Related topics continue to ferment, and have once again triggered public reflection on women's value and social expectations.

Japan has taken this step very hastily and very dangerously. On the one hand, missiles are directly launched into battle, and on the other hand, political rhetoric is constantly packaged. It seems to be "self-protection", but in fact it is testing the bottom line. At this juncture, "People's Daily" issued a warning with a "bell sound", and at the same time, Russia dug up old scores and named war criminals. With both lines pressing forward at the same time, Japan no longer has much room for maneuver.

What Japan is doing: Not defending, but taking the initiative to change the rules

This time, Japan deployed "Type 25 surface-to-ship missiles" and "Type 25 high-speed glide bombs" in Kumamoto and Shizuoka. On the surface, it said it was "counterattack capability." But once you look at the range, you don’t need to listen to the explanation. With a coverage area of ​​thousands of kilometers, it is no longer a gatekeeper, but can directly penetrate into deep areas of other countries. This ability itself has obvious offensive attributes.

Japan has been doing one thing over the years: hollowing out its "specialized defense" bit by bit. In the past, the focus was on defense, but now it is beginning to emphasize the need for "pre-emptive strikes." In the past, it was restricting the types of weapons, but now it is beginning to break through the range and strike range. In the past, it would take into account constitutional constraints, but now it is simply using policy explanations to circumvent restrictions. In other words, Japan did not reach this point suddenly, but laid the groundwork step by step.

The problem is that Japan has always tried to use language to conceal its nature. Talk about offensive capabilities as "counterattack" and long-range strikes as "deterrence." This argument may be self-justifying in China, but in the eyes of neighboring countries, it is not convincing. Military capabilities don’t lie, and missile range doesn’t lie either.

More importantly, this shift is not an isolated move, but part of an overall strategic change. From budget growth to weapons upgrades to military deployment, Japan has shifted from "passive defense" to "having the ability to launch strikes." Once this path is taken, it will be difficult to turn back.

Takaichi Sanae's plan: internal transfer, external bet

Japan's domestic problems are not complicated. Economic growth is weak, the demographic structure is deteriorating, and the currency continues to be under pressure. These are long-term difficulties. The real trouble is that these problems have no short-term solutions. In this context, some politicians choose to take the old path of creating external pressure and deflecting internal conflicts.

Takaichi Sanae represents this kind of thinking. It needs support internally and a stance externally, so security issues are constantly amplified. As long as the surrounding situation is described as tense enough, many policies will have room to advance, even if these policies themselves are extremely risky.

But the problem is that this approach has obvious costs. The first is that the diplomatic space has been compressed. The relationship between Japan and neighboring countries is already sensitive. If it takes another step forward, it can easily trigger a chain reaction. The second is that economic risks are amplified. Japan is highly dependent on foreign trade. Once relations deteriorate, its own industry will be the first to be affected. The third is the intensification of the security dilemma. The original intention was to increase the sense of security, but in the end it exposed oneself to a more intense confrontational environment.

Another key point is that Japan is clearly moving closer to the United States strategically. The United States' promotion of the so-called "Indo-Pacific layout" requires someone to be at the forefront, and Japan has been pushed to this position. From Tokyo's perspective, this is a bargaining chip in exchange for security guarantees, but judging from historical experience, this "frontier role" often means front-loading risks.

Simply put, Japan is gambling. Bet that the United States will take advantage of the situation, and bet that the surrounding countries will not react strongly. But this kind of gamble rarely has good results in history.

The "bell" is not an ordinary comment, it is a clear warning

The "Bell" column of the "People's Daily" is not a regular statement. The timing and content of its appearance are clearly directed. This time it is directly pointed out that Japan has pushed itself to the edge of danger, which is already a high-intensity signal.

The core issue here is not just missiles, but that Japan has touched the foundation of the postwar order. Documents such as the Cairo Declaration, the Potsdam Proclamation, and the Japanese Instrument of Surrender are not as simple as historical documents. They formed the basis of Japan's postwar positioning. As a defeated country, Japan's military boundaries were clearly defined.

Now Japan is actually challenging these constraints by expanding its strike capabilities. For China, this is not a general disagreement, but a matter of principle. When it comes to security boundaries, there is no room for concession.

If Japan continues to advance, China will have many tools at its disposal. Pressure can be exerted at the economic level, and reciprocal deployment can be achieved at the security level. China's capabilities in the East China Sea have long been established. Conventional missile coverage and the normal presence of naval and air forces around Japan are all realistic conditions. Japan must face these consequences if it continues to move forward.

To put it more directly, if Japan includes the country's core areas within its strike range, it will be equivalent to putting itself on the opponent's strike list. Once this reciprocal relationship is formed, it is no longer a verbal game, but a real risk hedging.

Russia takes action: It’s not an old score, it’s an ongoing reckoning

Just after Japan deployed the missiles, Russia quickly announced that it had reidentified 28 Japanese as war criminals and released new evidence involving the Kwantung Army's germ warfare units, including members of the notorious Unit 731. The timing of this step is very sensitive and cannot be just a coincidence.

Russia's approach has two levels. The first is the legal aspect. It is clear that there is no statute of limitations for war crimes, which means that accountability can continue to advance. The second is the political level, which brings Japan's historical issues back into the international perspective.

Japan's handling of historical issues in recent years has always tended to avoid or even downplay them. Adjustments to teaching materials and changes in expressions are all attempts to weaken the responsibility for aggression while strengthening its own image as a "victim." In this context, Russia's direct evidence is tantamount to fundamentally denying this narrative.

This is more direct and more impactful than diplomatic protests. Because it is not an argument of position, but an allegation of fact. Once historical issues are re-amplified, Japan's moral foundation will be weakened and its military expansion will lose part of its rationality.

What's more, this movement continues to increase. From the increase in the number of people to the addition of evidence, the rhythm is very clear. Russia is gradually promoting a systematic historical accountability, rather than a one-time political statement.

Pressure from two fronts is superimposed, and Japan’s space is tightening

If we look at China's actual security pressure and Russia's historical accountability together, we will find a trend: Japan is not facing single-point pressure, but multi-dimensional squeeze.

In the East China Sea, China is focusing on current security risks; in the north, Russia is focusing on historical and territorial issues. These two lines are different in nature, but have the same effect, both compressing Japan's operating space.

The most troublesome part of this situation is that it is difficult for Japan to deal with it at the same time. On the one hand, we need to deal with the actual military confrontation, and on the other hand, we have to face the tracing of historical responsibilities. Failure to handle it well on either side will trigger a chain reaction.

More importantly, Japan's current policy path shows no signs of convergence. If we continue to promote military expansion, it will be tantamount to actively increasing the pressure. As time goes by, the cost will only get higher and higher, and the price of turning back will also become higher and higher.

Conclusion

If Japan still regards military expansion as a way out, it is trading the future for immediate respite; the real risk is not in the missile itself, but in the direction behind it – if it makes a mistake, history will not repeat itself, but the price will definitely repeat itself.

In fiscal year 2026, Japan's defense expenditure exceeded 9 trillion yen, historically achieving the goal of accounting for 2% of GDP ahead of schedule. At the same time, Japan's government debt interest exceeded the 30 trillion yen mark for the first time, severely squeezing people's livelihood allocations.

"The Asahi Shimbun" commented: "In the eyes of the high city government, 'cannons' have a higher priority than 'butter'. When the people are in trouble because their salary increases cannot keep up with inflation, the government is paying for expensive missiles."

Ignoring people's livelihood problems, the Gao city government proposes a record defense budget

On March 30, the official budget for fiscal year 2026 failed to pass the Japanese Senate. This is the first time in 11 years that the Japanese government has failed to pass a formal budget before the start of the new year on April 1.

The main reason for the budget obstruction is that in the context of economic stagflation, the Gao City Government proposed a record-breaking defense budget of 9.04 trillion yen, which encountered strong opposition from the opposition parties and mainstream public opinion.

According to the principle of Article 9 of the Japanese Constitution, Japan's defense budget "must not oppress domestic affairs" and "must be within a range commensurate with Japan's economic strength." However, according to the Nihon Keizai Shimbun Network, Japan's defense budget has now grown to a level that is extremely disproportionate to Japan's economic strength.

According to data released by the Ministry of Finance of Japan, in fiscal year 2026, Japan’s government debt will exceed 1,300 trillion yen. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) predicts that Japan's debt will reach 232% of GDP this year, ranking first among major Western economies.

In the first quarter of 2026, Japan's core CPI growth remained at 3.8%, while real wage growth was only 1.2%, and people's purchasing power has shrunk for many consecutive months.

According to statistics from the Imperial Database, a total of 2,798 commodities in Japan increased in price in April, most of which were food products. Food expenditures account for the highest proportion of total household expenditures in Japan in more than 40 years.

The Japan Broadcasting Association believes that the current economic difficulties may become the biggest governance crisis faced by Takaichi since he came to power. The opposition party directly called it "high market stagflation".

According to Japan's "Yomiuri Shimbun" report, Japan's record-breaking huge defense budget of 9.04 trillion yen in fiscal year 2026 will reshape the strike capabilities of the Japanese military from three dimensions: "land, sea and air".

However, many Japanese people find it difficult to accept the Japanese government's "generous spending" in the field of national defense.

Lawyer Toshiyoshi Takayama: Takaichi Sanae has previously said that increasing military spending can stimulate the economy. Today, some people even openly advocate using war preparation as a driving force for economic growth and package it as a patriotic obligation. This logic is completely ridiculous. There is no way out for a country that relies on war as its economic support.

On March 27, the Japanese Cabinet meeting approved the "Seventh Basic Science, Technology and Innovation Plan" for 2026-2030.

"Tokyo Shimbun" believes that this plan clearly proposes "the connection between science and technology and national security" for the first time. This means that Japan is abandoning its long-term postwar line of "pure civilian science" and betting heavily on "dual-use items."

On April 1, Japanese Communist Party member Daimon Jishi warned that the blurred concept of "dual-use items" will shake the ethical bottom line of "no military research" that Japan's academic community adhered to after the war. In the end, it may not help the Japanese economy, but will cause fire.

A chronicle of Japan's Communist Party members: It is precisely because of Article 9 of the Constitution that Japan did not have to participate in the Vietnam War or send its Self-Defense Forces to various wars in the Middle East. Because of Title IX, funds can be used in areas other than the military, resulting in economic growth. As a country with a peaceful constitution, shouldn’t Japan consider a unique economic strategy, or a policy that prioritizes economic protection?

Takenobu Mieko, professor of economics at Wako University in Japan: When a country begins to look for "economic growth points" by manufacturing murderous weapons, it is already on a dangerous path to war. The Gao City Government is betting on the well-being of the Japanese people and trying to cover up the failure of industrial structural transformation through the "arms economy" and "new defenseism."

Hyping up "security threats", anxiety, and "remilitarization" deserve high vigilance

At the same time, the Takaichi regime also used the Russia-Ukraine conflict, the Middle East crisis and the so-called "China threat" to hype up topics, causing some Japanese people to fall into the anxiety of "national security threats."

At about 9 a.m. on March 24, Japanese Ground Self-Defense Force Third Class Lieutenant Kodai Murata carried an 18-centimeter knife, scaled the fence with barbed wire, forced his way into the Chinese Embassy in Japan, and shouted that he would kill Chinese diplomats "in the name of God."

On March 26, the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department handed over Murata Kodai to prosecutors. However, the Japanese side has only filed the case on the lighter charge of "illegal intrusion into a building", which has caused widespread controversy.

Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Mao Ning: This incident has exposed the depth and harm of Japan's right-wing ideology and distorted view of history. The rightward shift of the Japanese Self-Defense Forces and the "remilitarization" of Japan deserve the high vigilance of the international community.

Emeritus professor at Japan's Yamaguchi University, Tsumugi Ryu, warned that the Takaichi Sanae government is playing a dangerous game using people's livelihood and the economy as bargaining chips. Although the Japanese government is trying its best to prove that "big guns" can drive economic growth, repeatedly testing the edges of Article 9 of the Constitution, and fully betting on using "remilitarization" to build a so-called new type of national self-esteem, the price of this "big gun" and "butter" gamble will ultimately be borne by ordinary Japanese citizens.

According to Russian media reports on April 6, Trump threatened Iran that if Iran does not fully open the Strait of Hormuz to traffic, "Tuesday will be Iran's Power Plant Day and Bridge Day, one of a kind! Open the damn strait, you lunatics, or you will go to hell. Just watch! Long live Allah. U.S. President Donald J. Trump," he wrote online.

Trump's remarks came just hours before he issued an ultimatum on Saturday. He warned Iran that there are only 48 hours left to reach an agreement with the United States or open the Strait of Hormuz, otherwise "hell" will come to the Islamic Republic of Iran. "Remember when I gave Iran 10 days to make a deal or open the Strait of Hormuz? Time is running out: only 48 hours until hell comes. Glory to God!" the US president wrote on his account.

Earlier, Trump announced that the United States would stop attacking Iranian energy facilities for 10 days. "I will postpone the deadline for destroying energy facilities by 10 days to Monday, April 6, 2026 at 8 p.m. Eastern Time," he wrote in the statement. “This will only convey failure and moral collapse.” Earlier, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi condemned the US attacks on its domestic civilian infrastructure, saying that these attacks cannot bring the Iranian people to their knees.

According to the Iranian diplomat chief, these attacks "simply convey the defeat and moral collapse of an enemy in disarray". He also said that "every bridge and building will be rebuilt stronger" and that the real loss will be Washington's. “What will never be recovered,” he added, will be “the damage done to America’s reputation.”

Following U.S. and Israeli attacks, Iran almost completely blocked the Strait of Hormuz, which connects the Persian Gulf to the Gulf of Oman, and declared it would not let "even a drop of oil" leave the region by sea, triggering a rise in fuel prices. On March 11, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps reiterated that ships from the United States and its allies are not allowed to pass through the Strait of Hormuz. U.S. President Donald Trump has proposed forming a naval alliance to escort ships passing through the strait. However, several countries, including U.S. NATO allies, have ruled out sending naval forces to the conflict zone.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said the Strait of Hormuz remains open but is closed to ships from hostile countries. "For some countries that we consider friends, we allow them to pass through the Strait of Hormuz; we allow Russia, India, Iraq and Pakistan to pass." He explained that there was no reason to allow enemies to pass through the Strait of Hormuz, according to local media reports.

(Original title: Trump a Irán: "Abran el jodido estrecho, malditos locos, o vivirán en el infierno")

On March 20, 2026, in a London TV studio, a British host connected with Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Ismail Bagaei and publicly questioned Bagaei: "You, Iran, are attacking the natural gas facilities in Qatar and the energy facilities in Abu Dhabi and Kuwait. These are not military targets. Why are you attacking the civilian energy facilities of the Gulf neighbors?"

After hearing this question, Bagaé was probably thinking, is the Western media selectively blind? Although he thought so in his heart, he couldn't say it out loud, so Bagae could only "defend".

Bagaei asked the host: "Who attacked our South Pars gas field first? It was Israel and the United States!"

Speaking of gas fields being attacked by the United States and Israel, we have to go back to two days ago. On March 18, the Israeli Air Force attacked facilities related to the South Pars gas field in Bushehr Province in southern Iran.

Israel itself admitted that it attacked Iran's largest natural gas facility, which handles about 40% of Iran's natural gas.

The South Pars gas field is the world's largest known natural gas field, shared by Iran and Qatar. It contains about 1,800 trillion cubic feet of recoverable natural gas, accounting for about 8% of the world's proven reserves.

Afterwards, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu said at a press conference the next day that Israel carried out the air strike alone, without the direct participation of the US military. He also stated that he would comply with Trump's request to suspend subsequent similar attacks.

This is interesting. Some Israeli officials previously told the media that the attack was carried out in coordination with the United States, but Trump himself posted on social platforms that the United States had no knowledge of it.

There are three theories, the main one being arbitrary, which is to let the outside world guess who is telling the truth.

Iran responded quickly. On the day of the attack, the commander of the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy posted on social media that oil facilities related to the United States would be at the same level as U.S. military bases and would be violently attacked.

On March 19, the Qatari Ministry of Defense stated that Qatar was attacked by five ballistic missiles from Iran that day, four of which were intercepted, and another one fell into Ras Laffan Industrial City and caused a fire.

Ras Laffan Industrial City is not just any industrial zone. It is responsible for about one-fifth of the world's liquefied natural gas exports.

It is precisely because this attack by Iran has affected the energy supply of many countries, including the United Kingdom, that British reporters publicly questioned Bagaei in full view of the public and tried to embarrass him.

The host asked: "You are attacking civilian facilities!"

Bagaei is the spokesperson of the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. What scene has he not seen before?

"These facilities that were hit are either US military bases or shared facilities that provide support for US military operations. According to international law, these are legitimate self-defense counterattack targets."

Bagaei said that the initiators of the current situation are the US and Israeli aggressors.

Iran only strikes facilities related to the United States and has never taken the initiative to attack civilian targets in the Gulf countries. Any country that provides military bases to the United States and Israel and assists in aggression will be deemed to have participated in the aggression, and Iran reserves the right to further counterattack.

After saying these words for three seconds, the British reporter was choked and speechless, with a gloomy expression on his face.

However, Qatar obviously did not buy this account. Qatar’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement condemning Iran’s attack on Ras Laffan Industrial City as a serious escalation.

It also complained to the United Nations Security Council, claiming that the attack violated Security Council Resolution 2817, and called on the Security Council to take measures to stop these serious violations. The Secretary-General of the Gulf Cooperation Council also spoke out and condemned Iran's blatant attack on Qatari civilian facilities.

Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Kuwait were not immune. On March 19, the Samref Refinery in Yanbu Port in Saudi Arabia was attacked by a drone. The Al-Ahmadi Port Refinery in Kuwait was hit by a drone and caught fire. The Habshan Gas Facility and Al-Bab Oilfield in the United Arab Emirates were also affected by the falling fragments of interceptor missiles.

If Bagaei hadn't defended Iran's counterattack under international law this time, Bagaei would not have accepted an interview with a British reporter.

Bagaei wants to take this opportunity to characterize Iran's counterattack as self-defense, put pressure on the Gulf countries, accuse them of being "accomplices" in providing military support to the United States, and by the way, appease the global energy market and downplay the impact of the attack on civilian facilities on public opinion.

After listening to Bagae's answer, the host did not ask any further questions. Maybe she also realized that this question does have an unavoidable logical premise, as to who made the move first.

one,

There are scumbag men in the domestic entertainment industry every year, but he is still the first person in history to be so "scumbag" that everyone in the industry calls him out and criticizes him in droves!

You have guessed it right. What we are going to talk about today is an extremely scumbag "old pervert" who specializes in sniffing out the honeys of inexperienced young actresses, teasing them as playthings, and finally abandoning them in an extremely cruel way.

They are all civilized people. Although they sneer at this kind of behavior, they still have to give him a more elegant pseudonym, so let's call him "Uncle Lang".

Uncle Lang is well-known in the circle, and anyone who is familiar with him knows his true nature. It's a pity that people can't be judged by their appearance. In front of the public, he always looks gentle, elegant and elegant.

It was this look, coupled with the fact that he only became famous in his middle age. At that time, "uncle culture" happened to be popular on the Internet, so Uncle Lang was very popular for a time.

After all, in an entertainment industry full of young girls and sissy girls, it is really outstanding to have a charming and elegant Zhongdeng who doesn't look greasy!

No, many young actresses who had interacted with him shortly after their debut had peach blossoms in their eyes and admired him endlessly.

And after going through thousands of sails, he rose from the bottom to the director's wife, and he could see the intentions of these little girls at a glance, so he took the opportunity to take the young artists who coveted him into his arms and communicate in depth without taking the initiative, taking responsibility, or refusing.

These young artists are really young, some are more than ten years younger than him, some are more than 20 years younger, and some are more than 30 years younger… Anyway, the younger they are, the more he loves them. So much so that some people wonder, is this prodigal a pedophile?

After playing with a few "little flowers" without knowing it, Uncle Lang continued to transform into a bee, searching among thousands of flowers for a secret little lover who fit him both physically and mentally.

Finally, after he became popular with the suspense TV series, he used his fame to forcefully break into the life of a young actress with whom he collaborated in the next film…

two,

The little actress is also really small, two full rounds smaller than Uncle Lang.

To put it bluntly, if Uncle Lang had gotten married early, he could have been her father.

She has an innocent appearance, a soft and cute personality, no background, and her parents are ordinary people, so she perfectly meets Uncle Lang's needs.

In order to win over this little actress, Uncle Lang took time out of his busy schedule to take a photo with her, which made the little actress overjoyed and thought she had been seen by a big star.

After some testing, he was even more sure that this little actress was very easy to handle!

In fact, Uncle Lang had hidden his marriage for a long time. In order to make it easier for him to have sex, he specially found a wife outside the circle.

His wife outside the industry is older than him, and they are in a brother-sister relationship. At first, his wife outside the industry was worried about Uncle Lang, fearing that he would lose control of his play and not even want his family.

But in order to stabilize his wife, Uncle Lang made her his agent in name only. She had no real power, but Uncle Lang had all the real power.

After a long time, the wife outside the circle found that she couldn't play this trick, so she simply turned a blind eye and ignored it as long as the man came home and was willing to spend money on the family.

It was this outsider wife who had no real power, but many years later, together with Uncle Lang, they "secretly attacked" the little actress. As a result, her family was stripped naked!

Of course, this is all later.

Having said that, after Uncle Lang set his sights on the ignorant little actress, he often approached her deliberately as a "senior", asking her for advice, enthusiastically giving her advice on acting skills, occasionally giving her luxuries, and saying ambiguous words of love.

The little girl had never seen this trick before. The idol she admired was so kind to her, and she quickly fell into it and sacrificed her body and heart.

three,

The most important point is that the veteran driver Uncle Lang is very PUA and often warns young actresses: This industry is very chaotic. If you are new to the industry, you must protect yourself. If you have any difficulties, come to me.

This sentence is both a reassurance and a naked hint. First of all, it is very dangerous to scare young actresses who have just entered the entertainment industry. Secondly, he tricked her into seeking refuge with him, and he was the only safe haven.

The little actress who has not yet understood the rules of the mixed circle, is just like this, seduced by Uncle Lang's sweet words, and gradually becomes his private mistress in captivity.

At this time, Uncle Lang's career was on the rise and he was married. In order not to be exposed and ruined, he naturally did not want outsiders to know the existence of his young lover.

In order to cover up this, he gave the innocent little actress a death order:

You can only live in the dark like a shadow. You are not allowed to appear in public, let alone filming.

Because, once the little actress becomes popular while filming, the two of them's affair will definitely be seen through by those with sharp eyes.

The little actress is also very obedient. She really becomes Uncle Lang's mysterious mistress. She is not just a mistress, but more like a "cow, horse and chicken". She plays the goose chanting game with him at night. During the day, she also transforms into a mother-in-law, taking care of Uncle Lang's daily life, washing, cooking and wiping the toilet for him…

To be honest, if a little actress has such endurance, why can't she succeed in doing something? Why does she have to work so hard to be an underground lover?

Driven by his lower body, Uncle Lang was very satisfied with the little actress at first. After all, she was young enough and submissive enough. However, as he became famous due to his "uncle image" and had the opportunity to meet the younger Xiaohua, he had some opinions on the little actress.

The little actress has followed Uncle Lang for many years, and naturally understands his changes. In order to tie the other person's heart, she has cried and hanged herself, but this only made Uncle Lang more disgusted.

Later, Uncle Lang took the lead in preparing for the filming of a costume drama. In order to please Uncle Lang, the little actress specially stayed with him in a hotel in Hengdian and took care of his food and daily life day and night.

It was also at this time that Uncle Lang's mistresses and mistresses who were outside came to force the palace one after another, demanding that the little actress abdicate so that they could take over.

The little actress gave all her best years to Uncle Lang, so naturally she didn't want to leave.

Besides, she is no longer as young and beautiful as before, and she has also stayed away from the film and television industry. After leaving Uncle Lang, she has nowhere to go and is useless.

Seeing that the little actress refused to leave, the fourth and fifth mistresses ran to the hotel with great fanfare and forced the little actress to get out of the house. The little actress was so angry that she suffered from depression.

Of course, the initiator of these behaviors, Uncle Lang, knew everything about them. But he was indifferent, because what the four and five boys did was exactly what he wanted to do, they wanted to drive away the little actress who was tired of playing with them like flies.

The sunk cost is too great. The little actress who has been his mistress for many years refuses to leave. She even threatens Uncle Lang that if you do this again, I will expose you.

Four,

What does a popular artist care about most?

Of course it's reputation.

Hearing what the little actress said, Uncle Lang panicked a little, but remained calm. Because he had a backup plan and knew that sooner or later such a day would come, so he tore off the little actress's wings early, leaving her with no way to ask for help.

Moreover, the elegant and civilized persona he has established to the outside world has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and cannot be shaken by ordinary people.

However, in order to avoid long nights and dreams, Uncle Lang secretly consulted an acquaintance lawyer to find a way to get his young lover away with the least loss.

According to past examples, when celebrities find lovers and break up with each other, they usually use two methods:

One is, ruthless. Set up a trap to make the other party mentally ill and send her to a mental hospital, so that no one will believe that what she said is true or false. However, this is difficult to implement, and it may lead to the failure of others to alert others and lead to self-destruction of the future.

Second, it’s wonderful. Taking advantage of legal loopholes to get the other party in, it seems to be the other party's fault.

Uncle Lang thought about it for a long time when he went home, and finally chose the latter.

After making up his mind, he ran to negotiate with the little actress. Can they separate peacefully?

When the little actress heard this, she was furious and burst into tears, but she still compromised and asked for a sky-high breakup fee to make up for her losses over the years.

"How much?" Uncle Lang has been thinking about countermeasures in his head.

"At least tens of millions!"

It was this lion's big mouth that made Uncle Lang determined to carry out the plan he had already thought of, to send his little lover to step on the sewing machine.

The little actress was afraid that Uncle Lang would not pay, and she also warned that if she did not pay the full amount, she would expose this underground affair and his dirty transactions over the years.

Uncle Lang has always been plotting against others, and now, even an unknown actress is plotting against him.

These words completely aroused the evil in his heart. When he returned home, he went to the palace empress to discuss how to kill the mistress.

Although the Empress of the Palace was an outsider, she had seen a lot of the dirty things in the industry, and she even held a grudge against the little actress, and almost wanted to rob her of her family, so she readily agreed.

The two of them worked hard and made a careful plan, just waiting for the little actress to take the bait!

five,

The plan is to attack from both sides.

Uncle Lang first pretended to compromise and stabilize the little actress, saying that he was willing to pay the sky-high breakup fee, but he needed her to return to the country for an interview, sign the relevant agreement, and settle the matter in one go.

After doing this, he went to the Chaoyang Police Station to find an acquaintance and asked him to quickly capture his little lover.

The main palace has already prepared an external explanation to clear Uncle Lang's name and attack the mistress, pointing all the fingers at the third party who destroyed other people's families.

Whether it is in terms of public opinion, morality, or even law, it seems that the two of them hold high positions.

Sure enough, the little actress who was a bit silly and naive and had not made any progress for many years really fell into the trap. She came back from abroad and put on makeup to meet Uncle Lang.

She originally thought that Uncle Lang would remember his old relationship and would not kill her, but she never thought that it was all a conspiracy. When she came back, she was arrested by the police on blackmail charges.

It turned out that this couple had already reported the case for blackmail, and they were just waiting for the little actress to come back and catch her in accordance with the law.

But the little actress is not defenseless at all. Before returning, she compiled all the information and evidence about her and Uncle Lang's years together, as well as Uncle Lang's dark transactions, and handed them into the hands of those closest to her, asking them to release them all after something happened to her.

Sure enough, something big happened to her now.

When she was first arrested, the little actress refused to admit it, claiming that she was set up.

However, the communication, call records, and transfer records between her and Uncle Lang were all consistent with this crime, so she was still convicted.

The law is about evidence, not about who is miserable.

Seeing that her struggle was hopeless, during a family visit, the little actress asked her relatives to release some information. Since the other party is ruthless and unjust, then don’t blame her for killing him!

six,

When the actress' relatives released part of the information, the Internet went viral. For the first time, people saw the full picture of the incident. It turned out to be like this.

In an instant, Uncle Lang truly became a "prodigal son", and his previous "gentle and affectionate" image completely collapsed.

He went from a middle-aged top guy who was sought after by thousands of people to a "super scumbag" and "hypocrite" that everyone reviled!

While netizens scolded the little actress for not living up to her expectations as a mistress, they also wildly insulted Uncle Lang for doing things that were not human affairs, for not recognizing people when he lifted his pants, and for ruthlessly pulling out the X!

Overnight, he was directly removed from his endorsements, film and television dramas and variety shows.

Because of an extramarital affair, he fell from the altar into the abyss, his career was ruined, and his future was bleak…

As for the mistress, the little actress, was sentenced to several years in prison, her stardom was gone, and she didn’t know what to do in the future.

But according to a friend in the industry, Uncle Lang, who had such a brilliant career, did not suffer such a tragedy because of this incident. In fact, it was because he was too crazy in his peak period and angered big capital.

At that time, he planned to lead the filming of a costume drama, which became a hit and made a lot of money. However, Uncle Lang, who came up from the bottom, saw money and ate up the investment income, squeezing the interests of other capitals.

Therefore, the scandal is only a trigger. Now that this matter has been exposed, those big capital bosses have taken the opportunity to exert their power, plot secretly, and wait for revenge, leaving him no chance of turning around!

If you come out to hang out, you will always have to pay it back, it’s just a matter of sooner or later.

Now that several years have passed, it is difficult for a male star like Uncle Lang to appear in the industry. After working on a sewing machine for a few years, the mistress star has completely faded out of the entertainment industry, carrying the label of "criminal" and living secretly.

"Xibao"-style love fairy tales only exist in novels. More often than not, they end up like little actresses, with their reputations ruined and their lives humiliated.

"Old pervert" Uncle Lang probably would never have imagined that he had made a mistake in all his calculations. Although the law could not punish him, the public would never accept such a hypocritical person with no bottom line.

Those who tease others will eventually be teased by others!

We have previously reported that in Contra Costa County, Northern California, a Chinese man, Howard Wang, brutally cut the throats of his wife Linlin Guo (transliteration) and mother-in-law Beimin Cheng (transliteration) in front of their 8-year-old twin daughters, and escaped with the help of his mistress Yan Wang (transliteration).

According to the latest announcement from the Contra Costa County District Attorney's Office, this case is even more heinous than previously announced: In order to be with his mistress Wang Yan, Wang had previously hired a murderer to kill Wang Yan's boyfriend, then killed his wife and mother-in-law, abandoned his two 8-year-old twin daughters, and tried to escape with Wang Yan in panic.

Currently, the two murder cases are jointly prosecuted, but due to California's judicial policy of "preferential treatment" for criminals, even if convicted, the nominal maximum sentence is life imprisonment, but in fact, he can be released after serving 25 years.

Outrageous

Kill your mistress and boyfriend first, then your wife

According to the indictment, Wang Yan’s boyfriend was 41-year-old Chengli Li (transliteration), who lived in San Gabriel City, a Chinese district in Los Angeles. In June 2024, Wang hired gang member Demarques James Pearl (Los Angeles resident) to drive from the San Francisco Bay Area to Los Angeles. In the early morning of July 8, he ambushed and killed Li Chengli outside an apartment in San Gabriel City.

Since the incident occurred in the early morning and there was no relevant surveillance, the case was listed as an unsolved case by the Los Angeles County Police Department. It was not until September 2025, when Wang killed his wife and mother-in-law and escaped with Wang Yan that the case came back into the attention of investigators.

According to the criminal facts announced in the indictment, after killing Li Chengli, Wang returned home and repeatedly asked for a divorce from his wife. His wife refused to divorce for the sake of their two twin daughters. As a result, Wang repeatedly committed domestic violence against his wife, and ultimately an irreparable tragedy occurred on September 18, 2025.

The police investigation report shows that on September 18, the police received a report that there was a disturbance and possible shooting at Wang’s home. When the police arrived, they found the bodies of Guo Linlin and Cheng Beimin. Wang lied to the police that armed robbers broke into his home. He shot the robbers away and found the two dead.

Arrogant

Mistress destroys evidence, beats victim's family

However, the forensic investigation revealed these lies. Wang killed his wife and mother-in-law by slitting their throats with a knife, and then arrested Wang who tried to escape with his mistress.

When the court first opened on September 23, mistress Wang Yan had a physical conflict with the victim's family in the court, and they were finally separated after the intervention of the police. Subsequently, Wang Yan was arrested.

It turned out that the police discovered that on the day after the incident, which was the day Wang was arrested, Wang Yan entered the murder scene without permission and destroyed evidence. As a result, she was charged with accessory to murder, first-degree residential burglary and misdemeanor destroying evidence.

If convicted of all charges, Wang faces life in prison without the possibility of parole. However, according to California's so-called "criminal justice reform", the SB1437 bill passed in 2020, as long as the offender is over 50 years old and has served more than 25 years, he can apply for parole.

If the time spent in custody before sentencing is included and double the time served, Wang can be released on parole before the age of 68 at the latest.

On April 1, a German tourist was hit by a boat propeller while diving after a whale shark near Rangali Manta Point in the southern Ari Atoll of the Maldives. He died after being rescued. Authoritative media in the Maldives reported on the incident. At present, the local police have been fully involved in the investigation.

With the arrival of the peak tourist season in the Maldives in April, the accident sparked considerable discussion in the local diving community. On the 3rd, reporters from Upstream News (baoliaosy@163.com) interviewed senior diving practitioners based in the Maldives to learn about the incident and the risks hidden behind chasing whale sharks.

"This tragedy was completely avoidable. The industry generally believes that this is a typical 'man-made disaster'." Nic, a Chinese diving instructor with more than ten years of diving experience and four years of teaching in the Maldives, confirmed the incident. According to Nic, the tourists involved were wearing professional scuba diving equipment and were preparing to chase whale sharks. Different from ordinary snorkeling boats that make a one-day trip, the boat involved in the incident is larger and can be used as a liveaboard, that is, tourists' meals, accommodation and diving activities are all carried out on the boat.

Regarding the thrilling details of the incident, "Brother Lei", a Chinese resident in the Maldives, told reporters that on the day of the incident, the captain keenly discovered traces of a whale shark on the sea, and then all the scuba divers who were preparing to enter the water gathered at the stern of the ship to wait. "The tourist involved jumped into the sea from the stern of the boat without receiving clear instructions from the captain and diving instructor to 'go into the water.'" Lei Ge regretfully said that based on the situation at the scene, it was speculated that the tourist should have been excited to see the whale shark. But the tragic coincidence is that after the tourist entered the water, the captain began to reverse the boat in order to give everyone a better launching position. The propeller that was still running instantly caused a tragedy.

"Chasing whale sharks in the Maldives is highly contingency. The market price of a day-trip whale shark chasing ticket is about US$100 per person, which means that even if you buy a ticket and go out to sea, you may not be 100% guaranteed to see whale sharks. It depends largely on the experience of the captain and the luck of the day." Nic analyzed that for this reason, tourists often cannot restrain their excitement when the whale sharks they are looking for suddenly appear. Some tourists will be eager to jump into the water because of their rich diving experience and good water skills.

In response to the outside world's questions about "whether the stern launch is in compliance with the regulations," Nic gave a professional explanation. He emphasized that entering the water from the side or stern of the ship is a routine operation, but only if a set of safety procedures must be strictly followed. "The normal logic is: the entire ship must be completely stationary. Only after the captain confirms safety and issues permission, can the instructors and tourists enter the water one after another. The core problem of this accident is that the ship did not stop. Under the interference of the roar of the engine, the captain could not hear the movement behind at all in the cockpit, and the stern position was a blind spot for the driver's sight."

With the upcoming April and May holidays in China, Nic would like to remind Chinese tourists who intend to go to the Maldives to chase whale sharks to choose a regular diving shop within their own capabilities, strictly follow the captain's instructions, and take the safety instructions given by the instructor seriously. "Chasing whale sharks requires certain physical strength and swimming skills. In addition, the project itself is also risky. Accidents such as collisions with boats, head-butts, kicks, and scratches by flippers often occur. Therefore, not many Chinese tourists come to Madai to chase whale sharks. 20%-30% will choose to do this project." Nic said that tourists who cannot swim or are not good at water are advised not to try to chase whale sharks. They can choose ordinary snorkeling or watch dolphins by boat, and the safety factor will be much higher. "The sea is not a swimming pool, tourists must be in awe."

According to British media reports on April 3, a survivor of Jeffrey Epstein's case described her experience at the pedophile's infamous "Zorro Ranch" in New Mexico, saying it was "cold", "dark" and gave people an "eerie feeling".

"That's where most of the assaults happened," Shauntee Davis said of the property, where she appeared with five other survivors on Wednesday. "My darkest memories are from Zorro Ranch." She added that she felt "trapped" there. "There was a cold, dark, eerie feeling there."

Davis said her traumatic experience with Epstein continued to affect her throughout her adult life, destroying her marriage and making her paranoid about her daughter's interactions with men.

She described how she triple-locked her garage door to ward off intruders, checked for car bombs, and experienced other "weird, weird fears." “I think every aspect of my life has been affected by it,” she said.

Another woman, who appears anonymously on the show as a silhouette and uses the pseudonym "Nikki," told host Victoria Derbyshire that she was drugged and raped by Epstein when she was 19 at the late financier's mansion in Palm Beach, Florida. Nikki said she preferred to remain anonymous rather than have her family suffer "collateral damage" or face "undue harm." Like other survivors, Nikki said she was initially introduced to Epstein by a friend and agreed to give him massages for income, which is exactly what happened when they first met.

Nikki also spoke about an experience when the billionaire was not wearing any underwear and was only covered with a towel. Nikki said Epstein asked her to take off her top as he rolled over on the massage table. "So I took off my top like last time and started massaging his feet and worked my way up, and when I got to my upper thighs and chest, he pulled on my jeans and almost unbuttoned them," she recalled.

She lied to Epstein that she was menstruating in order to stop him from doing anything further. But he still tried to seduce her into a relationship and boasted about his abilities. When she continued to refuse, the massage continued until Epstein pulled off the towel and started in front of her, leaving her feeling "extremely sick" and telling herself she "had to get out of here right now." Epstein then urged her to drink a bottle of Fiji water, saying it was important to stay hydrated. "I drank some water and I don't remember anything about it for at least 12 hours," she said.

Nikki said she woke up feeling nauseous, "groggy" and immediately realized she had been violated while unconscious. During a subsequent third massage, Epstein made advances to her again and she again told him she was menstruating. "You don't have to lie to me," he responded. Nikki said that comment later made her realize that the assault had indeed occurred, otherwise he would not have known the truth.

That time he violated her again. Nikki told the outlet that her memory of the incident did not return until the summer of 2019, when she suffered a panic attack after reporting her allegations to the FBI following Epstein's second arrest. "I tried all kinds of therapy, I tried to remember, I tried to catch glimpses, but it was dark and I didn't know anything," she told the outlet. "But I can logically make a number of inferences that I think are pretty accurate."

"It led me down a very dark path for several years, and from that point on I learned how to use my body to make money," another survivor, Jenna-Lisa Jones, told Derbyshire. "I find it hard to keep revisiting these things and not seeing any consequences. I think it was more retraumatizing than the actual abuse, and I think a lot of us say that."

"You can't get away from it. It's hard to heal when you see the news every day. I had a first date and someone mentioned it to me and didn't know I was involved," said Joanna Harrison, a victim who has not previously been seen publicly. "There are things you can't predict and when you're stuck and seeing that person's name every day and hearing that person's name every day, it becomes really hard to heal."

At the end of the program, all the participants became emotional when asked to hold up photos of their youth taken during the period of abuse. “I was much more naive then,” Harrison remarked poignantly, “and I’ll never smile like that again.”

Recently, Mr. Wang, a citizen, reported to "Xinmin Helping Nongfu" that the pedestrian overpass located at the intersection of Chenxiang Highway and Guyiyuan Road in Jiading District suddenly stopped operating the escalator without any warning, which caused great inconvenience and safety risks to surrounding residents, especially the elderly and disabled people.

Reporters saw at the scene that the overpass is an important transportation hub connecting Nanxiang Impression City MEGA, Xihuan Central Business Building and Chenxiang Highway Station of Metro Line 11, with a huge flow of people. However, the two escalators (one up and one down) near Exit 4 of the subway station have quietly stopped.

Elevator out of service

The reporter found that there were no fences or warning tapes set up to isolate the out-of-service escalator entrances, nor were any "equipment maintenance" or "suspended use" notices posted. Many pedestrians, especially young people who were looking down at their mobile phones, suddenly realized that it was impassable when they reached the escalator, and they almost stepped down. What is even more worrying is that the "special equipment use mark" (i.e. certificate) was not found on the escalator, and citizens were unable to confirm whether it had undergone regular inspections and what its safety status was.

"This escalator broke down without any warning or notification. It is too dangerous for the elderly and children." Aunt Li, who lives nearby, said that the height of the overpass is equivalent to two floors. After the escalator is out of service, she can only take the stairs next to it. For her with limited legs and feet, every pass is a challenge.

Citizens called on relevant departments to find out the reasons for the outage of the escalators as soon as possible, set up necessary warning barriers, and clarify the time limit for repairs to eliminate potential safety hazards. "The warmth of the city should be reflected in the care for every citizen, especially the vulnerable groups." "Xinmin Helping Nongfu" will also continue to pay attention to the progress of this matter.
