    Research on the Formation Mechanism of the Contemporary Youth Subculture "Da Zi Culture" — Based on the Application of Grounded Theory Research Method

    In the process of modernization, subcultural phenomena within youth groups have gradually flourished, and relevant theoretical research has made substantial progress. However, the phenomenon of "Da Zi Culture" within youth groups is a newly emerging, complex subculture influenced by various factors, with scarce empirical research within the academic community. Therefore, this study aims to explore the core topic of the formation mechanism of the youth subculture "Da Zi Culture," investigating the motivation for participation, influencing factors, and the satisfaction gained by the youth engaged in "finding a partner." The research results indicate that the formation mechanism of the youth subculture "Da Zi Culture" primarily involves four factors: functional domain needs, emotional values, social values, and internal and external driving forces. Based on this, the study constructs a theoretical model of the formation mechanism of "Da Zi Culture."

    Yan’an Through Papered Propaganda: Establishing a Cultural Hub in the Early 1940s

    In the early 1940s, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) strategically employed Yan’an-centric propaganda to forge a narrative deeply rooted in the loess plateau, laying the foundation for subsequent cultural movements. After the arrival of the cohort of CCP forces in Yan’an, the reduction in their numbers prioritized their mission to recruit talent and bolster their forces to compensate for the losses. With the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War in 1937, Yan'an gained recognition and external support as the capital of the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region. However, it encountered challenges associated with growing reliance, particularly after the New Fourth Army Incident in 1941. As a result, the CCP shifted towards self-reliance, instituting policies aimed at reducing land and interest rates. Simultaneously, cultural clubs were organized to foster a "free" environment for intellectuals, promoting the coexistence of farmers, troops, and intellectuals to boost local morale. Rather than categorizing the CCP’s decision to host the Yan’an Conference on Literature and Art as mere coincidence or deliberate planning, this article redirects focus toward understanding the cultural ambiance that prevailed in the city leading up to the conference. Through an exploration of the factors contributing to Yan’an’s emergence as a crucible of cultural activities, this paper seeks to unravel the intricate dynamics shaping its cultural landscape.

    Research on the Phenomenon of Younger Digital Workers on the Short Video Platform

    With the development of new media technology and mobile devices, short videos have gradually become popular. However, behind the seemingly prosperous scene is the loss of subjectivity for children and adolescents in the bizarre virtual world shaped by short videos. Based on this phenomenon, this paper uses the concept of "digital labor" from the political economy of communication and uses in-depth interviews and content analysis to study the media behavior of young digital laborers on short video platforms. Finally, it concludes that the essence of minors' addiction to short videos is the unlimited exploitation of surplus value by the platforms. They actively compete for discourse power in the online world while becoming puppets of traffic in the trend of imitation and following, ultimately being trapped in an alienated childhood with abnormal growth practices.

    Investigation and Research on Awareness of Rare Diseases in China

    Awareness campaigns have been a hot topic for many psychological and physical illnesses, and utilizing awareness campaigns, many donations have been gathered to help those targeted by the awareness campaign. However, rare diseases have been left out of this category, making awareness campaigns more needed than ever in this overlooked field. This paper aims to understand the current situation of the awareness of rare diseases in China through online surveys, so as to determine whether it is necessary to carry out awareness campaigns and to put forward targeted suggestions. Through this study, it can be found that only 1 in every 200 people knew the answers to one of the survey questions, meaning that only 1 in every 200 people had systematically learned about rare diseases in the past. Other academic articles were reviewed to give recommendations to those hosting awareness campaigns to improve awareness campaign results.

    Research and Analysis on the Current Implementation of Real-Name System in Cyberspace

    With the advent of the digital age, human society has inevitably entered a trend of digitization. Within this context, the fundamental unit of social operation—citizens—is also inevitably becoming digitized. Citizen identity authentication and management are essential prerequisites for the orderly operation of a digital society and represent a significant challenge that digital governments need to address. There exists a close relationship between digital citizens and the current implementation of the real-name system in cyberspace. In the future, this system will not only help enhance the sense of identity for citizens in the digital realm but will also aid digital governments in better fulfilling their responsibilities to maintain order within the digital society. This research is rooted in the present and aims to analyze the current status of the real-name system in cyberspace, identify existing issues and challenges, and propose corresponding strategies and solutions.

    Analysis of the Potential Impact of the EU Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism on China

    Excessive carbon dioxide emissions are one of the major causes of global warming. To effectively respond to global climate change, all countries are making efforts and changes in this regard. As one of the largest carbon markets in the world, the European Union (EU), to better respond to the Paris Agreement, introduced the European Green Deal and the EU Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM). The mechanism requires that high-carbon products imported into or exported from the EU pay a corresponding amount of tax or refund the corresponding carbon emission allowances. The implementation of the EU Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), which is essentially a carbon tariff, has also had a significant impact on the Chinese market. The more carbon-intensive steel industry has been the first to be hit, affecting the competitiveness of the industry's exports in the EU to a certain extent, while also increasing compliance costs for the development of other related industries. Chinese enterprises should strengthen innovation and research, and actively introduce low-carbon technologies. At the same time, China should continue to improve its own voice and accelerate the construction of the national carbon market.

    A Brief Introduction to the Problem of Difficult Enrollment in China's Compulsory Education: Current Situation, Causes and Measures

    In today's society, more parents tend to pay more attention to the situation of children receiving compulsory education, so the problem of compulsory education is becoming more and more prominent. After a series of comparative analysis of data and fact research, this paper found that the difficulty of enrollment can be divided into enrollment difficulty and entrance difficulty, and the reasons can be divided into the implementation of enrollment policies, the current situation of population mobility, parents' educational expectations and other factors. To alleviate this social situation, various subjects as the government, schools, parents and children could make changes, in order to let children have better compulsory education conditions and correct learning environment. For example, the government should focus on narrowing the gap between private and public schools, developing more reasonable talent training programs and enrollment methods, schools should implement the policies the government carries out, reduce unhealthy competition, and parents and students should focus on learning themselves rather than blindly chasing external conditions.
