In the digital economy environment, it is equally important to ensure both data security and   data sharing vitality. The regulation and determination of data crimes should meet both needs. In regulating and    determining data crimes, current practice adopts the right protection mode, that is, protecting the interests of data right subjects. However, the right protection mode fails to meet the needs of the development of digital economy; improper pre-established right protection with a focus on illegal access regulation may lead to  impeded data flow; limitations of the current criminal law in regulating data crimes may lead to incomplete data security protection. An order maintenance mode should be adopted in regulating and determining data crimes by heeding to the interests of all subjects in data value realization while prioritizing the public product attributes of general data. To adopt such an order maintenance mode, legislators should add new terms for data crimes to ensure data management order. In the judicial determination of data crimes, it is also necessary to adjust way of thinking in a timely manner and balance the interests between protecting data security and guaranteeing the vitality of data sharing.

Under the existing data crime system, the protection of data criminal law is facing the differences between formal and substantive protection. Formal protection is realized through the computer crime charge system, while substantive protection is realized through the protection of the legal interestscorresponding to the data content. The differences between formal and substantive protection lead to the different application of data crime charges in judicial practice. The reason for this disagreement is that the
existing criminal law povisions can not directly reflect the legal interests corresponding to data, and the path of judicial identification of the legal interests of data crime is unclear. The existing solutions include the priority of substantive protection, the priority of formal protection, and the combination of the two, but each has defects and cannot resolve the differences thoroughly. To resolve the differences between formal protection and substantive protection, legislation and judicial interaction is needed. In terms of legislation, it is necessary to reform the substantive protection provisions, cancel the separate formal protection of data, and set up special data security protection provisions. Judicially, the relationship between different laws should be properly handled.

Cultural memory is a core element for the cohesion of ethnic groups and the realization of cultural identity. Ethnic ritual, a specific cultural behavior deeply embedded in a specific social setting or scenario, plays a key role in the construction of collective memory and cultural memory as an important topic in anthropological research. Ethnographic animation provides knowledge production and meaning presentation through a system of special visual media symbols, which can transcend the space-time barriers of“presence”in expressing abstract experience such as memory and experiences, thus providing new paradigm experiments and
modal possibilities for film and television anthropology in the new era. Based on the video-making of“Xian Niang”rituals of the Miao people in western Hunan province in China, we conducted mutual subjective cooperation and reflexive dialogues with cultural holders, finally producing an animated video full of true  feelings of the indigenous people, which realizes the“representation”of ritual memory and the expression of   ethnic culture memory through video ethnography.

The perception of film time is an important issue in film studies, and film duration is a typical perceptual experience of film time for the audience. Deleuze discussed the time duration of images, but he did not analyze the dynamics of its occurrence from the  perspective of the audience’s consciousness activity; back    to the reality of film viewing, the audience’s attention plays a fundamental role in the emergence of film duration. In principle, films take advantage of the phenomenon of time duration to visualize the duration, while the audience’s attention constructs and reveals the experience of film duration through time delays.
Specifically, long shots take the movements of actions, relationships and situations as clues to create images of duration, while the audience’s attention constructs the experience of duration by participating in the simultaneous presence of many states of life; the static narrative in the film uses slow-paced daily routines with white space as forms of expression to create images of duration, while the audience’s attention captures the sense of duration in the repetition of states of consciousness.

Roger Caillois places game on the Paidia-Ludus continuum and emphasizes the instinct for free and pleasurable play that Paidia embodies. In a reality where video game commodities are becoming more and more common, the Paidia orientation in the Caillois sense fades away until it is transformed into a rhetoric   uch as gamification, and at the same time becomes a driving discourse in the consumption-labor process. Firstly, while video games, as the ideal commodity of digital capitalism, claim to be designed for players’ pleasurable play experiences, their consumption is not designed to form a space for the release of play instincts, but rather to constitute a controlled field that is slightly intertwined with play instincts but essentially proliferates and realizes desire. Secondly, video game commodities become the lubricant of consumption from the perspective of frictionless capitalism because of their dual“definite possibilities”, that is, their definite possibilities before being purchased and their definite possibilities as video games themselves. The connotation of freedom, pleasure and play contained in Paidia is only degraded into the generalized“fun morality”in the Baudrillard sense. Finally, the concept of gamification is abstracted from the reality of the universalization of video game commodities and popularized in various fields such as marketing, education, and training, which in turn reshape the marketing logic of consumer goods in general and provide cover for a sophisticated      management and organizational technique. Uncritically accepting this gamification rhetoric undermines the creative power of free and enjoyable play in Paidia’s direction.

The video game industry is rapidly developing and becoming another important narrative medium after printed text, film,     television, etc. With the development of new media platforms, classical narrative theory is in need of paradigm updating in the face of new types of texts. The authorship in video gamenarratives is taken as the theme, and the roles of author and player as two subjects in game narratives are   discussed in a narratological approach. Firstly, the development of narrative paradigm and the necessity ofincluding games in narrative research is presented; then the illusion that“the author is dead”in game works is
analyzed, pointing out that the author, the creator of fictional world, is hidden behind the algorithm in games; finally, the author’s control over the player and the work is discussed, who is believed to return to the game narrative by giving the player the freedom to be controlled.

Overseas economic and trade cooperation zone is not only a critical undertaking point of jointly building the“Belt and Road Initiative”(BRI), but also an important platform to promote Chinese enterprises to “go global”with high quality. How to evaluate the construction of cooperation zones is of great significance of reference to the study of the effect of China’s BRI and the practical effect of the zones. Based on the sample data of 60 countries along the“Belt and Road”, this paper empirically analyzes the influence of overseas economic and trade cooperation zones on the economic growth of the host countries and its internal mechanism by using the progressive difference in differences method, and analyzes the heterogeneity of the economic characteristics of the host countries and the types of cooperation zones. The results show that, firstly, the establishment of
overseas economic and trade cooperation zones can significantly promote the economic growth of host countries.
Among them, the inflow of foreign investment and the scale of trade play an intermediary role to some extent.
Secondly, overseas economic and trade cooperation zones have heterogeneity in promoting the economic growth
of the host countries, and have stronger economic boosting effect on countries with a lower income level and poor
business system.

Based on the institutional theory and the strategic view of organizational legitimacy, we conducted a longitudinal case study to explore the paths and strategic choices of social enterprises to achieve organizational legitimacy. We traced Justering’s entire entrepreneurial process and analyzed its organizational actions and strategies at different stages from a dynamic perspective. It is found that Justering, as a social entrepreneurial enterprise, adopted passive strategies such as complying with the environment out of the external institutional pressure during its founding and early stages to acquire regulatory, moral and practical legitimacy. During the growth and maturity stages, Justering adopted active strategies such as creating favorable environment to enhance moral and practical legitimacy, and gained cognitive legitimacy through establishing  strategic alliances, delivering public presentations, acquiring third-party certification, and driving growth of the sector.

After the end of land reform in the early 1950s, China’s rural economy ushered in socialist reform through mutual assistance and cooperation movement. As a complex and systematic project, socialist reform involves not only fundamental change of the forms of ownership, but also ideological adjustment of peasants to socialism. The premise of achieving this goal is that, first of all, the ideological reform aimed at the key groups in the countryside — CPC admission activists and rural cadres. After the land reform, Party building in rural areas was carried out. By means of Party building training courses, absorbing Party members and establishing and giving full play to Party branches in the mutual assistance and cooperation movement, socialist ideological reforms of the activists and rural cadres were conducted. The quick ideological change of this group laid an important foundation for the smooth completion of the socialist agricultural reform later on.

After the founding of the Republic of China (1912-1949), boredom and frustration with republican politics pervaded the public opinion. The disappointment with the republican government showed that the republic still occupied an important place in the political and cultural life of the intellectuals, and therefore, the way to reshape and recreate the republic constituted the problematic consciousness for the people of that age. The re-creation of the republic not only referred to a political practice, but also brought out a new understanding of the relationship between the press and state affairs in terms of the history of the press. The function of the editorials in the press had certainly been questioned and reflected upon. However, at the same time, the intellectuals tried to create new forms and language styles of editorials to reconstruct the relationship between the press and republican politics.

Abstract：The discourse of Chinese classical poetics is mainly constructed around the axis of poetry creation and appreciation, while the questions concerning the origins of poetry, such as what is poetry and where poetry originates, are basically not directly dealt with. This feature does not indicate that ancient poetic theorists lack ontological consciousness, but that the ontology of Chinese poetry has always been closely related to“Tao” or“Qi”in philosophy. Therefore, in describing this aspect, most of them can only follow the principles that “great music has the faintest notes”and“great form is beyond shape”. This means that the understanding and interpreting classical poetic discourse should not focus on the surface of words, but penetrate into its deep
philosophical structure. Based on this understanding, the present paper attempts to decompose and restore the formation of classical poetic discourse during its foundation period from the perspective of theoretical narration, and therefore, to explain that classical poetic discourse is a suspended ontology from its beginning, or a special structural system that is consciously expressed through emptying logic source.
