Artificial intelligence (AI) is not only a technological phenomenon, but also a social one. The innovation of its technological tools and the empowerment of its technological means have brought a new paradigm and significant opportunities for the governance of university online public opinions, promoting the automation of online public opinion monitoring, intelligent judgment, and precise guidance. At the same time, the rupture and conflict between instrumental rationality and value rationality have also created potential dangers such as cognitive bias, distorted dissemination patterns and diverse risks, forming a severe challenge to university governance in the new era. Therefore, it is necessary to establish a new concept of scientific and rational governance of university online public opinions, construct an efficient and sensitive new paradigm of online public opinion governance, create a new pattern of university online governance with consensus, strengthen the organic integration of technological governance and scientific governance, and renew intelligent governance of university online public opinion.

General Secretary Xi Jinping has repeatedly emphasized the importance of “standing on the right side of history”, argued for learning from history and following historical trends, and called for peaceful development and common progress of all humanity. Faced with the rampant notion of the “end of history” at the end of the last century, the viewpoint of “standing on the right side of history” accurately grasps the historical laws and trends of reality, and on the basis of the materialistic historical view, provides a strong refutation and dissolution of the abovementioned abstract viewpoint. It can be said that the viewpoint of “standing on the right side of history” embodies the requirement, guided by the materialistic historical view, to abandon and transcend capitalist civilization and steadfastly pursue a new path of Chinesestyle modernization. History is not ended, as the “end of history” claims, but rather in a process of progressive development. It is crucial to keep up with the tide of historical progress, pursue a path of peaceful development aiming at the free and comprehensive development of all humanity, and construct a “community of shared future for mankind” based on “winwin cooperation”.

The viewpoint on hardship and happiness is an important part of the view on life, which reflects an individuals search for the meaning of selfsurvival. However, the “tanking” phenomenon among some college students reflects their negative tendencies towards hardship and happiness. Through the analysis of this “tanking” phenomenon, we found that some students featured the following characteristics in terms of hardship and happiness: the onesided understanding and doubting of the connotation and relationship between hardship and happiness, the decadent pessimism of negative attitudes towards hardship and happiness and negative emotions, the spiritual nihilism characterized by lack of belief in hardship and happiness and weak will, and the refined egoism scintillating from disconnected motive and behavior concerning hardship and happiness. With the help of relevant theories of positive psychology, the discussion of hardship and happiness education is helpful for college students to dispel their “tanking”, facilitate them to walk out of the contradictions in life, and establish a positive view of hardship and happiness.

At present, artificial intelligence technology is booming around the world, and a new round of technological revolution and industrial transformation is developing rapidly. To meet the development needs of the new era, the CPC Central Committee with Xi Jinping at its core actively responded to the latest trend of intelligent transformation, seized the significant historical opportunity of AI innovation, and implemented the national development strategy of a new generation of artificial intelligence. This strategy is clear in goal and direction, rich in connotation and complete in system. It is one of Chinas essential measures to explore the laws of scientific and technological innovation in the new era and create a unique pattern of highquality development. It, under the “peoplecentered” principle, aims at guiding the construction of a better life via AI scenario innovation, and is of significant epochal value for China to improve its construction of an innovative country, improve its national governance and modernize its governance system in the new era.

The route of Chinesestyle modernization and peaceful development is the CPCs inevitable conclusion and choice from the sufferings in modern times and the practice of promoting and expanding Chinesestyle modernization under the guidance of the Marxist concept of world peace and based on the concept of peace in the traditional Chinese culture. While China relies on its own strength to promote its modernization independently, it coordinates domestic development and opening up to the outside world, and realizes the common prosperity of the world with a winwin strategy of opening up, showing that the Chinesestyle route of modernization and peaceful development features a development of independence, coordination and mutuality. Such a route not only abandons the old one of expansion and predatory colonialism, but also negates the detour that lacks independence and autonomy. It is a new route of modernization that correctly handles its relationship with the world.

Forging the sense of community for the Chinese nation is an idea invented by General Secretary Xi Jinping on the basis of “two overall situations” and the main line of the Chinese Communist Partys guiding the ethnic work and various tasks of the ethnic region in the new era. It developed the concept of the Chinese nation, broke through the discourse of the Western nationstate, advanced the traditional community theory, and enriched the Marxist ethnic theory. The formation and development of this important original theory breaks free from the shackles of Western ethnic theories about Chinese ethnic work and ethnic research, innovates the policy discourse system of socialist ethnic theory with Chinese characteristics, and promotes the Chinization and modernization of Marxist national theory, not only showing the great courage of CPC, but making Chinas contribution to the international communitys handling of ethnic affairs as well.

How digital finance affects the efficiency of green economy is a hot issue that needs urgent discussion. Firstly, the mechanism of how digital finance affects green economy efficiency is sorted out at the theoretical level. Then based on provincial panel data from 2011 to 2020 in China, the green economic efficiency of Chinas provinces and cities was measured by using the superefficient SBM model, and the effect and spatial effect of digital finance on green economic efficiency were empirically examined by the bidirectional fixed model, the mediation effect model and the spatial Durbin model. The study shows that (1) Chinas green economic efficiency decreases from the east region to the middle and west regions; (2) Digital finance can significantly raise green economic efficiency — this conclusion still holds after the robustness test and endogeneity analysis, although there is regional heterogeneity in the rise with that in the east region significantly larger than those in the middle and western regions; (3) Technological innovation and industrial structure upgrading are the mediating channels for digital finance to raise green economy efficiency; (4) There is a significant spatial autocorrelation of green economic efficiency, and digital finance has a positive spatial spillover effect, helping raise the green economic efficiency of neighboring areas.

With the rapid development of Chinas game industry, the overseas expansion of Chinese game culture has become a common phenomenon in the industry. As a crucial part of game globalization, the language localization plays an important role in intercultural communication.  Drawing on the theories of cultural semiotics and recontextualization and using a research method that combines textometrics and virtual ethnography, this study explored the language localization process of a game, Arena of Valor, in the European and American markets. Drawn on this interdisciplinary perspective, a systematic analysis of the recontextualization of cultural symbols reveals that the cultural export of domestic games is a complex and nonlinear localization process, involving multidimensional interactions between language translation, recontextualization of cultural symbols, and technological innovation. This analysis transcends the onesided perspective of translation or technology towards a dynamic and multidimensional interactive  approach, thus providing both theoretical foundations and practical guidance for the cultural exportation of the gaming industry.

In the perspective of historical materialism, the development of urbanrural relations has gone through a logical transmutation process from “urbanrural chaos” to “urbanrural dichotomy” and further to “urbanrural integration”. In the new era of urbanrural integration and development, it is necessary to adhere to the methodology of combining universality with specificity, toplevel design with trialanderror improvisation, and individual development with common development, to the systemic and holistic as well as bottomline thinking, and to the unity of urban and rural affordability and development effectiveness. On this basis, this study explored, in the light of practicality, how to improve the mechanisms for the expression of the interests of urban and rural residents, upgrade those for the provision of services in urban and rural areas, construct those for compensating for the interests of urban and rural areas, strengthen those for integrating the interests of urban and rural areas, and perfect those for coordinating the interests of urban and rural subjects, so as to promote the integrated development of urban and rural areas.

In the era of artificial intelligence with highly advanced technologies, it is an indisputable fact that the social and historical inheritance of human activities has become the foundation of real human activities. How to view the accumulation process, the presentation method and the future possibilities of this genetic method is one of the major fundamental issues of how we grasp the times, understand ourselves and criticize the reality. The postindustrial tertiary retention follows the biological logic to alienate social and historical human nature into social memory that represents the materialization of political freedom, the technicalization of political power and the control of political logic, and resurrects the “traditional forms of power” through integrating the technicalization of capital with technological capital. Therefore, in order for the tertiary retention to truly become a social memory that represents the power of human reality in the era of artificial intelligence, we must reexamine its essence from the perspective of historical materialism so as to realize the freedom and liberation of the technicalization of tertiary retention and the technicalized tertiary retention to serve human beings in the deconstruction of its political narrative logic.

Digital finance is a new form of finance in recent years, and its development is of great significance to achieve carbon neutrality and carbon peak. It was found that digital finance will have different impacts on carbon emissions in line with its scale, structure, technology and policy. The development of digital finance significantly reduces carbon emissions, and at the same time has the “rebound effect” of carbon emissions, which, however, is insignificant in the tertiary industry as the heterogeneity analysis shows. A further study of the impact mechanism of “rebound effect” using the regulatory effect mode found that the growth of economic scale will partially offset the carbon reduction effect of digital finance, while the progress of green technology and the implementation of environmental protection policies will strengthen the carbon reduction effect of digital finance, and the impact of digital finance on carbon emissions varies with the changes in industrial structure. Therefore, in order to achieve the goal of carbon peak and carbon neutrality, it is necessary to coordinate the relationship between economic growth and industrial structure, increase investment in the research and development of green technology, and formulate scientific and reasonable environmental policies.

Article 1254 of Civil Code of the Peoples Repubice of China, which is known as “rule for falling and throwing objects from highrise buildings”, has undergone substantial changes as it not only absorbed the “indemnification obligation” defined in Article 87 of the previous Tort Law of the Peoples Republic of China, but also included the additional terms on property managements safety guarantee obligation and public security authorities investigating and ascertaining liability. In practical terms, it has abandoned the previous position of emphasizing the relief function as it turned to a better social welfare and a balanced realization of corrective justice and distributive justice. So, the application of this article needs to be reshaped according to the change of its values. It should be made clear that indemnification obligation follows secondary liability, while the indemnification obligation should be further detailed, and the public security units investigation for solving civil dispute be distinguished from that for imposing punishments for public security and criminal responsibility.

In line with the time, Xi Jinping developed the thoughts of Marxist classic writers on the importance of seeds, the important understanding of Chinese traditional culture about seeds, and the valuable experience of the Communist Party of China on the development of seed industry. He answered the question of how to revitalize the seed industry from such aspects as germplasm resource protection and utilization, scitech innovation, enterprise cultivation, base improvement, and intellectual property protection. His statements pointed out not only the practical path of the revitalization of the seed industry, but also an important way to ensure national food security, providing a scientific guidance for the realization of agricultural modernization, and contributing the Chinese wisdom to the development of the world seed industry. Thus it is of great practical significance to study these important statements of Xis in the new era.

With the transformation of Chinas economy and the changes in its higher education, to develop applicationoriented universities has become a basic consensus in the field of higher education. A study of the objectives and curriculum structure in the talent training programs of 38 applicationoriented universities in China reveals that problems such as vague objectives of “applied” talent training, lopsided educational course structure, lack of “competence” cultivation in the syllabuses, and insufficient practical training in the programs are prevalent. So, to promote the cultivation of applicationoriented students, these universities should ask as many persons as possible to formulate the training objectives, designate comprehensive courses for liberal education and build modern industrial colleges and local industryeducation entities so as to improve the overall quality of talent training from the perspective of the new knowledge production mode.

The breakthrough of artificial intelligence from specificity to universality will trigger the reshaping of the existing human production and life. Many areas of direct labor will gradually be replaced by AI that labor form will gradually become digital and intelligent, digital capital will achieve fine manipulation of visibility through platform technology, and factory workshops will be cloudified that the actual workers and regulators will retreat into the background and labor form will become increasingly hidden, and even disappear like a phantom. The new production mode without workers direct labor has raised a new question to Marxs labor theory of value: Is the living labor of workers the only source of value production? So to explore the measurement crisis of labor value of the AI era, to analyze the laborer nature of AI and its intermediary role of value transfer in the production process, and to identify the evolution source of the phantom form of labor, from the value paradigm of capital logic, are of great realistic significance to walk out the theoretical dilemma of Marxs labor theory of value in the new era.

The report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China drew a road map for overall rural revitalization, laying down the basic guidelines of revitalizing rural China through education. Faced with the decay of rural China in the dual context of urban and rural areas, sociologist Pan Guangdan proposed his educational ideas such as cultivation of full personality, inheritance and foregoing of Confucian educational ideas, and governance by new rural gentry that have provided practical solutions for revitalizing rural China through education. Pans proposal has something in common with the current rural revitalization strategy, for both focus on the ideological foundation of going back to the countryside, attaching importance to education and rekindling the passion for the land, and insist on realizing the revitalization goals through infrastructural construction, education of full personality and inheritance of rural culture. In order to accelerate the process of rural revitalization, we should build a diverse and complementary talent system, strengthen the role of digital technology in rural governance, and explore the longterm institutional mechanisms for innovation and development so as to achieve the revitalization of rural industries, talents, culture, ecology and organizations and the allround revitalization of rural China.

In the compilation of the Ecological Environment Code, the basic concepts of “ecological environment”, “ecology”, “environment” and “resources”, with the first as the umbrella concept, need to be clarified. The intertwining connotations of these four terms are difficult to distinguish in the traditional way. So to crack this hard nut, we should start from prohibitive norms, infringement causes, triple prevention, and overall protection, with the support of etymology, grammar, and legal hermeneutics, to define the basic categories of each term and delineate the boundaries for “environmental pollution”, “ecosystem destruction” and “resource encroachment”. Mere discussion of the protection of environment, ecology and resources is meaningless because the ultimate goal of any protective measures is to protect the overall ecological environment, with elements of environment serving as entry points of protection rather than independent classification criteria. So we should start from specifics to adjust the general structure of the code system, integrating the “Green LowCarbon Development Code” into the “General Principles Code” and the “Ecological Protection Code”, and adding the “Natural Resource Protection Code,” so as to achieve coherence in the code system.

The emergence of new quality productive forces has not only accelerated Chinas economic and social development but also opened new avenues for international communication. The international dissemination of new quality productive forces discourse should take as its priority the precise conceptual translation and interpretation, sticking to the discursive content of scientific and technological innovation, green ecology, and peoplecentered development, and build a development platform with the Chinese language as the medium and its international communication as the base. This paper, taking the “Chinese Bridge” videos as examples, points out how to create the new quality communication context by means of new media resulted from new technology, constructs an empathetic communication matrix to expand narrative perspectives, and employs the Chinese language as a communicative medium to see how things like language and cultural education can promote the international communication of new quality productive forces discourse.

In the context of innovation, a CEOs career horizon affects the flexibility with which the firm chooses its strategies, resulting in differences in innovation strategies between firms. This paper uses the publicly traded company data from 2009 to 2019 to examine the influence mechanism of CEO career horizon on firm innovation strategy in line with real option and behavioral theory of the firm (BTOF). The study finds that the broader a CEOs career horizon, the higher the level of the firms innovation, as is especially evidenced by a notable increase in the overall number of patent applications for invention, and when the firm faces internal operational challenges (historical aspiration shortfalls) as well as external dynamic environmental pressures (high economic policy uncertainty), the positive impact of the CEOs horizon on corporate innovation is more obvious. It also shows that such positive impacts are stronger in growing firms and nonstateowned ones.

With resources flooding into the countryside in the new era, the new countrygentry in the target area are actively participating in village governance. Unlike their predecessors who led the grassroots society, the new gentry emerged out of the governance need of local governments and grassroots organizations to make up for the gaps in formal governance, reduce cost and avoid legal risks. They as actors were more utilitarian and short of sustained social and cultural support. To some extent, their  autonomous village governance was but a temporary phenomenon in the context of national resources flooding into the countryside, posing no structural threat to grassroots rural governance. In the long run, strengthening the countrygentrys social and cultural color and forming a stable and diverse governance pattern are more conducive to the longterm development of rural communities.

This study uses the metaanalysis method to explore the relationship between leadership style and employee suggestionmaking. After screening, a total of 218 valid literature met the metaanalysis criteria, including 113 in Chinese and 105 in English. The results indicate that: (1) Leadership style is a key variable that affects employee voice, and the impact of different variables on employee behavior varies; (2) Inclusive leadership, transformational leadership, and serviceoriented leadership have a higher impact on employees voice with a tendency towards collectivism; (3) The measurement methods of inclusive leadership, serviceoriented leadership, and authoritarian leadership have a more significant moderating effect on employee behavior, while the behavior measurement tool only plays a moderating role in the relationship between ethical leadership and employee behavior; (4) Humble leadership, authentic leadership, and LMX have a greater contribution to the improvement of employee suggestionmaking behavior in selfevaluation situations; (5) The moderating effects of inclusive leadership, humble leadership, authentic leadership, and LMX on employee behavior are significantly lower at multiple time points than at a single time point.

In the Marxist ideological system, common prosperity not only is the production goal of future communist society, but also implies the three closely related essential requirements: all members of society share the fruits of their social labor, their production capacity is subordinate to their social wealth and they all have sufficient space for free and comprehensive development. In the practice of CPCs leading the Chinese people to gradually achieve common prosperity, it has endowed the concept of common prosperity with new contemporary connotations in terms of subject relationship, implementation content, and historical status, achieving a theoretical leap in Marxist common prosperity. In the new era, we must always adhere to the CPCs comprehensive leadership, give full play to the historical initiative spirit, and promote the common prosperity of all the people in the deepening of reform.

Such work as poverty alleviation and rural revitalization should not merely rely on outside support given chiefly by the government, but on the play of inner development power given by villages and villagers. The paper is based on the field work of four villages in S Town in Southwest Guangxi and uses the “government support—intervillage cooperation—industrial revitalization” framework to analyze the industrial cooperation cases. The study shows that with government support, industrial revitalization can be achieved through intervillage cooperation. The government can boost intervillage cooperation in organization, system, technology and livelihood while the cooperation itself should be preconditioned by motive, basis, key and conditions. The local practice shows that the behavior path of “government support—intervillage cooperation” effectively promoted the cooperation between villages and led the povertyalleviation regions to industrial revitalization in the context of rural revitalization.

The judge disciplinary system is an important part of judicial reform. This system ensures the fair exercise of judicial power in accordance with the law by building a new restriction and supervision mechanism, which is of great significance to maintaining the judges fair performance of their duties in accordance with the law. From the perspective of functional integration, there are such problems as lack of synergy between disciplinary reasons and misconduct, mismatching of disciplinary targets and judgment subjects,  ignoring the judges ethical characteristics in the structure of the disciplinary system and conflict between dual channels of disciplinary relief, leading to the fact that the system fails to be given full play. So, in order to give full play to the system, it is necessary to make the system conform to the general rules of judge punishment as well as to Chinas unique judicial system arrangements. Improper performance and improper trial should be integrated as the cause of punishment; the subject of punishment should be structured in a classified manner to ensure the fairness of punishment; a selfinquiry procedure for judges should be added to demonstrate their high moral standard expectations; a professional court should be established in a timely manner to improve the judge punishment system.

As an interdisciplinary issue, environmental crisis provides a realistic basis for mutual learning among related disciplines. Environmental communication scholars emphasis on discourse and rhetoric can be seen as a reaction to the negligence of the study of literariness on the part of ecocriticism, which is characterized by strong ideological criticism from the very beginning. John Muirs “Sublime Response” pointed out by Christine Orave and Rachel Carsons “Apocalyptic Narrative” summarized by Jimmie Killingsworth and Jacqueline Palmer, the polar bears on the ice block and the monarch butterflies collective migrating as a symbol of climate warming, the graphical presentation of drama and film works — all these four interpret the speculative space of the combination of environmental communication and ecocriticism from different perspectives. The environmental communication scholars rational reflection on the narrative strategy of ecological literary canon undoubtedly sheds light on ecocritism and ecological creation that focus too much on the exploration of ecological thoughts.

 The new form of human civilization is an innovative expression of the discourse of the socialist dominant ideology as well as an enrichment of the discursive system of the socialism with Chinese characteristics. As an ideological discourse, it has dual functions of transcendence and construction: transcending the “Westcentered Theory” in orientation, the “End of History” in thinking, and the “Zero Sum Game” in strategy. Through its new discursive positioning, corpora, output etc., it has constructed a new international image of China and enhanced Chinas international discursive power. The dual functions of the discourse is mainly realized by connecting historical reality with future, national discourse with world discourse, political narrative with cultural narrative, and rational persuasive discourse with perceptual enlightening discourse.

 In a market economy, the establishment of a reasonable governmententerprise relationship helps to cultivate and develop the private enterprise market and further promotes economic growth. An empirical study based on Chinas provincial panel data finds that private enterprise market entry significantly promotes economic growth as the main driver, while local government intervention does the opposite. In the process of private enterprise market entry and government intervention affecting economic growth, the threshold effect is shown: when local government intervention crosses a single threshold, the role of private enterprise market entry on economic growth changes from promotion to inhibition, implying that the deepening of local government intervention inhibits the process of marketization, which is further detrimental to economic growth, but when private enterprise market entry crosses the threshold, the negative effect of local government intervention on economic growth is weakened, and the positive effect of private enterprise development can be realized. In this regard, it is possible to build a good mechanism for governmententerprise interaction to coordinate governmententerprise relations and promote sustainable, highquality economic development.

As an original assertion made by General Secretary Xi Jinping, forging the sense of community for the Chinese nation has strong cultural roots and establishes a new mission of modern civilization. The concept of “Tian Xia (under the heaven)”, in which all the people and nations live in harmony with each other, is its source; the idea of “great unification”, in which all the states differ from each other but are united as one nation, is its foundation; the culture of “harmony”, in which the whole world should live in peace as one community, is its core. As its cultural roots, the excellent traditional Chinese culture is not only the ideological foundation and spiritual home of the sense of community, but also the internal driving force. At present, in the face of new opportunities and challenges in the development of human civilization, if we want to accomplish the new mission of building a modern civilization in the form of socialist civilization with Chinese characteristics, we must start from the cultural roots of casting the sense of community for the Chinese nation to formulate an effective strategy for cultural development and realize the cultural and civilizational forms of Chinesestyle modernization.

The environmental criminal legislation of China has undergone the historical change from decentralized legislation to unified legislation, and the idea of restorative justice has been thoroughly carried out in the practice of environmental criminal justice. There is a dispute between the theory of single code and the theory of decentralized legislation in environmental criminal legislation mode because of the antinomy between codification and decodification, which must be approached from the functionalist way. Based on the consideration of external efficacy and internal function, environmental criminal legislation should continue the unified criminal code model in general, but it is improper to stipulate ecological restoration responsibility in the criminal code. As ecological restoration responsibility is a unique form of environmental law responsibility, ecological restoration responsibility should be stipulated in the criminal responsibility transfer clause of the ecoenvironmental code and the nature of the criminal responsibility system should be defined as nonpenalization measures to adapt to the development of environmental criminal justice.

Since the 1990s, the peoples mediation in China has experienced a change from decline to revival, and especially after 2002, the number of mediation cases kept rising till 2010, the year of peak as well as plateau. On the other hand, this increase was accompanied by a continuous decrease in the number of mediation organizations and personnel and an increase in the rate of mediation by mediators. Such changes were closely related to the development of “refinement” of the peoples mediation in recent years, which mainly includes the refinement of the organizational structure, the communal sinking of dispute resolution, the specialization of dispute resolution techniques and the improvement of the mediation process. The reason for such refinements is the complexity of contradictions and disputes, the change of the peoples demand for dispute resolution, the development of social governance theory and the application of network information technology. The refined development of the mediation work conforms to the requirements of the downshift of governance focus, increases the mediation efficiency, and provides an alternative for the transformation of mediation, but such a mediation system does have limits in its refinements due to the limits in its attribute, value rationality of mediation and marginal effect of resource input.
