"Information Fantasies focuses on the cultural practices and media imaginations around information technologies, cybernetics, and systems theory in late 1970s and 1980s China. Xiao Liu explores China's rise to prominence in the global economy through revisiting these earlier 'information fantasies' present in science fiction, modernist writing, films, scientific treatises, historical monographs, and key intellectual debates"--

In today's world, the contradiction between people and the ecological environment is becoming more and more acute. Green finance is an effective method to resolve the contradiction between economic growth and ecological environment pollution, which has been widely recognized by all countries. This paper analyzes the level of green financial development in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region through an analytical model of green financial development influencing factors constructed by simulation, combined with ecological environmental protection, and identifies the main influencing factors affecting the level of green financial development in this region. In addition, the realization path proposed in this paper from the perspective of government-led green financial development is, firstly, to improve green finance-related standards, assessment system and green financial legal system. The second is to implement green financial regulation and improve the driving force of green policy and market integration. The research results show that the comprehensive measurement score of green finance development level in Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei region shows a steady increase between 2016 and 2020, among which the comprehensive measurement score of green finance development level in Beijing is as high as 72.13 in 2020, an increase of 17.32%. It provides theoretical guidance for the improvement of green financial public policies in Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei regions.

This essay focuses on the cinematic form of revolutionary melodrama, or, more specifically, on alterations made to family melodrama in the construction of the big socialist family as an imagined social space. Reading Red Detachment of Women (1961) in the tradition of family melodrama, the author examines the ways the film transforms the genre and conjures up an alternative socialist space, which also provides room for more fluid gender formations that radically redefine such notions as women and femininity. This essay also uncovers in the film an affective space contiguous with both the private and the public, suggesting a sort of collectivity that neither presumes autonomous individuals nor is subsumed to a unitary state power.

To explore the spatiotemporal evolution of carbon sinks in Shaanxi Province, and their impact mechanisms, this study used panel data from 107 counties (districts) in Shaanxi Province from 2000 to 2017. First, we conducted spatial distribution directional analysis and exploratory spatial data analysis (ESDA). Then, we constructed a geographic spatial weight matrix and used the spatial panel Durbin model to analyze the driving factors of carbon sink changes in Shaanxi Province, from the perspective of spatial effects. The results showed that: (1) The temporal evolution of carbon sinks during the study period showed an overall upward trend, but the carbon sinks of counties (districts) differed greatly, and the center of gravity of carbon sinks, as a whole, showed the characteristics of "south to north" migration. (2) The carbon sinks of Shaanxi Province have a significant positive global spatial autocorrelation in geographic space. The local spatial pattern was characterized by low-value agglomeration (low-low cluster) and high-value agglomeration (high-high cluster), supplemented by high-value bulge (high-low outlier) and low-value collapse (low-high outlier). (3) The result of the spatial measurement model proved that the spatial Durbin model, with dual fixed effects of time and space, should be selected. In the model results, factors such as population, per capita gross domestic product (GDP), local government general budget expenditure, and local government general budget revenue all reflect strong spatial spillover effects. Accordingly, in the process of promoting "carbon neutrality", the government needs to comprehensively consider the existence of spatial spillover effects between neighboring counties (districts), and strengthen the linkage-management and control roles of counties (districts) in increasing carbon sinks.
