Pavarotti’s farewell performance

Pavarotti, a famous Italian tenor who announced that he will retire next year, recently finished his "Farewell Stage" global tour at Shanghai Grand Stage and Beijing Capital Gymnasium respectively.

China Concert ". However, for those fans who want to listen to Laopa’s brilliant swan song live, the performance effect is somewhat disappointing. In these two concerts, Pavarotti allegedly sat on the soft stool behind grand piano from beginning to end due to physical reasons, and the microphone never left his mouth. In the whole performance, the songs that Lao Pa sang by himself actually accounted for only about half of the songs listed in the program, which made people feel that they were "shrinking". The "high-pitched C", which once held the fans’ appetite beforehand, has always smelled bad under the long-awaited call. On the contrary, annalisa, an Italian soprano duet with Laopa, dazzled the audience with her bright, mellow voice and wide range. People can’t help but sigh: Laopa is really old!

Pavarotti is one of the three tenors in the world today, and he is famous for his high-pitched voice, gorgeous and transparent, and extremely infectious. Wherever Pavarotti goes, he wears his trademark innocent smile on his face, and people affectionately call him "Old Pa". What has won wide acclaim for Laopa is "Tenor C", which is called the touchstone of tenors. In this range, which is regarded as fearful by ordinary tenors, he can still sing clearly, roundly and penetratingly, so he is known as the "King of Tenor C".

An innate musical talent.

Luciano Pavarotti was born on October 12th, 1935 in a poor family on the outskirts of Modena. His father is a well-known amateur tenor in the local area, and he often takes home records of famous singers. This is how little Pavarotti grew up listening to records. Papa was born with a good voice, and singing was quite good when he was three or four years old. In 1955, at the age of 19, Pavarotti officially began to learn vocal music. Influenced by his family and long-standing desire, Pavarotti finally embarked on the road of music.

Genius and diligence make a great achievement.

When Pavarotti was 17 years old, a knot grew on his vocal cords, which seriously affected his pronunciation. At a concert held in Ferrara, Pavarotti was coaxed out of the stage by the crowd, which made him once have the idea of giving up music. But with infinite love for singing, Pavarotti gritted his teeth and persisted.

The time has finally come to change our destiny. In 1961, Pavarotti won the first prize in an international vocal competition. In April of the same year, he performed "The Bohemian" for the first time, and began a brilliant opera career. Pavarotti’s real fame began in 1963, and his performance at the Royal Opera House in London, England was a great success. In 1972, he performed Girl in the Army with the famous Australian soprano Sutherland in metropolitan opera. When singing the aria "What a Happy Day", which is called the tenor forbidden zone in the play, Pavarotti sang nine high-pitched C’s with chest resonance in a very compact aria, which caused a sensation in the whole international music world. Since then, "the king of high-pitched C" has become synonymous with Pavarotti, and he himself has become an idol in the hearts of fans.

The mass messenger of classical music

Pavarotti has made outstanding contributions to the popularization of classical music and opera in his singing career of more than 40 years. Since 1990, Lao Pa has joined hands with Domingo and carreras, the other two tenors in the world, to form a powerful singing group brand-"Three Tenor Concerts". Since then, the songs of the three tenors have resounded around the world and become a new story in the international music scene.

Old Pa had tasted the hardships of life before he became famous, so he had deep sympathy for people living in war and suffering. He has sponsored charity concerts many times and donated money to humanitarian causes in poor and war-torn areas. He is one of the people who raised the most donations for UNHCR. In March 1998, Pavarotti was appointed as the United Nations Messenger of Peace. On May 30th, 2001, in recognition of Pavarotti’s great contribution to refugee assistance, UNHCR awarded him the Nansen Medal.

songSingers are also ordinary people.

Old Pa sings naturally, but his quirks are really amazing, and the most famous one is undoubtedly the "bent nail" collector. In Laopa’s hometown, there is a legend that rusty bent nails will bring good luck to people, so before each performance, Laopa will bend his fat body and carefully look for an elbow nail under the dim light in the background. If he can’t find the nail, he won’t go on stage anyway, or even cancel the performance directly. It is said that Lao Pa has now saved a whole box of rusty nails for elbows.

As an artist, some maverick habits are understandable, but the most surprising thing is that this "world’s chief tenor" can’t read music! According to Lao Pa himself, he learned songs by relying on his ears and symbols instead of the note system.

Old Pa is a football fan and a car driver. He always likes to go out for a ride in his car. In recent years, he began to be keen on painting again and held a solo exhibition in Japan, which is said to be well received.

Old Pa, who looks simple and honest, is an affectionate species in life. He himself admits: "I like the feeling that there are always women around me." In 2000, Pavarotti divorced his wife Ardois, who had been married for 39 years, and married a woman 33 years younger than himself-his 18th secretary, Nicoleta. When Pavarotti was 67 years old, Nicoleta gave him a precious daughter.

No one can say for sure about the "last" concert.

As early as 10 years ago, it was reported that Laopa was going to retire. But later, it turned out that it was just commercial speculation whose performance agent stimulated the market. Old Parna’s busy figure is still moving non-stop between tours around the world.

At the beginning of this year, 70-year-old Pa began his farewell stage global tour, and vowed that after the tour, he would completely end his 43-year singing career. According to his own words, "even in the shower, I no longer hum." However, this romantic and casual Italian seems to have played a joke on everyone again. Before the concert in Beijing, Lao Pa once affirmed that Beijing would be the curtain call stage for him to end his singing career. However, before the lingering sound of the Capital Gymnasium, it was reported that Laopa hoped to join hands with Domingo and carreras to hold at least one farewell concert before his retirement. The ambitious old man also plans to hold the "last" concert in Milan, Vienna or new york next year. When the real finale will be staged, probably even Laopa himself can’t say clearly.

In the era of information explosion, when you wake up, it’s terrible that the full screen of little red dot always makes your heart scratch the wall. The inner os of patients with deep social fear: "three days visible" is a kind of interruption, it is best to be a "network vacuum person", or goodbye completely, social network.

When social media has quietly become an indispensable part of daily life, modern people are also surrendering their own data unnoticed. Nowadays, businesses that undertake the disappearance or tracking of the Internet have also emerged.People have to think about how to be wary of using their social accounts, or whether to simply escape.

"Connecting" is the tenet of Facebook. "Connecting people’s social vision is my top priority." Zuckerberg said before the hearing in April. At that time, tens of millions of Facebook users found that their private data had been leaked to Cambridge Analytica.

Studies have found that through close self-exposure, people become closer to each other. have onlyPeople have no privacy concerns about using these platforms in depth, and social media can make interpersonal communication so close.Paradoxically, these tools were created to keep people acquainted at a certain distance.

Julie Beck, senior deputy editor of Atlantic Monthly, recently conducted a study to try toVerify how much people look at themselves when using social media, and whether Cambridge analyzes whether corporate scandals have affected their use of Facebook and other platforms.Beck also shared the data with Sauvik Das, associate professor of interactive computing at Georgia Institute of Technology, and Sarita Schoenebeck, director of Living Online Laboratory at the University of Michigan. They also made some basic analysis of some data.

Of course, this survey is not rigorous. Atlantic Monthly sends the survey to readers through Facebook, Twitter, subscription mail and membership projects, so it is not a demographic sampling. Among the 2218 respondents, 82% are white, and most of them are from the United States; Women account for 59%, men for 40%, and 1% of other genders; Respondents are also distributed in a wide range of age groups, but generally tend to be older groups.

The survey results show what people are willing/unwilling to share on social media, the degree of trust in different platforms, and how privacy issues affect user behavior. In addition, Beck also followed up with some readers to learn their detailed views on social media privacy issues.

Overall, 78.8% of the respondents indicated that they were "very" or "somewhat" worried about their information privacy on social media; 82.2% said they would conduct self-censorship on social media. Das analysis mentioned that older people are more likely to conduct self-censorship because of privacy concerns than younger people, but for all age groups, the proportion is 75% or more. In this survey,"Self-censorship" is defined as "users will prevent themselves from publishing content they want to share for fear of privacy disclosure".

David Garvey, a 27-year-old sales executive working in Boston, began to pay attention to self-censorship before Cambridge Analytica broke out. The reason is that David once posted a photo of drinking in high school on Facebook, and his friend’s mother complained to the principal after seeing it.

"Through that,I realized that anything posted on social media would be watched by others at any time."Garvey said," so I hardly send anything.Anything sent out may be publicly consumed.I try to avoid this situation,Keep your social life in intimate circles.Garvey said that he was not really worried about privacy on social media because he was careful enough about what he posted.

Among the respondents,Facebook is currently the most used but least trusted social network.57.9% of platform users said that they "almost don’t trust" Facebook or "don’t trust" Facebook’s protection of personal information privacy. Respondents have different attitudes towards other platforms such as Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube, Pinterest and Snapchat. Most of them are neutral or uncertain, and Facebook’s Instagram has a higher degree of trust. Several interviewees said that they know that Instagram belongs to Facebook, but they feel that most of the pictures shared on Instagram are not so easy to be used.

A Facebook spokesperson mentioned to Beck in an email that,In the past few months after the Cambridge Analytica scandal broke out in March, the company did not find any significant impact on user behavior."What we have seen is that people are more concerned about data privacy and understand their control and choice." In order to let users better "control" the privacy of their accounts, Facebook provides more concise privacy settings, and plans to develop a "history cleaning" function, so that users can delete data collected from external resources of Facebook.

However, some people began to think about how to use or whether to use Facebook after analyzing the company incident in Cambridge. In Beck’s survey, 99% of the respondents said they knew about the incident. Such a high proportion is certainly not unusual. After all, the survey was mainly aimed at readers of Atlantic Monthly, which paid close attention to this scandal. Among them,41.9% of people said that they changed their behavior of using Facebook because they knew this news, mainly because they were more careful about what they posted.But Das reminded,"When it comes to privacy, people often say one thing and do another."

A small number of voices (9.6%) said that they deleted or frozen their Facebook accounts after the scandal broke out.After the Cambridge Analytica incident, Facebook refused to provide the average number of accounts that people freeze or delete every month.

Janice Riggs, a blogger in Chicago, deleted her Facebook account after hearing about the incident. "It’s just one thing I can get rid of in my life," she said. "I don’t use Facebook and I don’t believe it, so I just closed my account, and so did my husband. But I also know people who say that they will not really completely abandon Facebook. " In addition, Riggs also mentioned that it is still very troublesome to figure out how to delete Facebook account, and she finally searched a lot of operation guides on Google.

A small percentage (25.6%) said that theyAfter analyzing the company events in Cambridge, I changed my usage behavior on other social media platforms, mainly by becoming more careful, sending less things or changing privacy settings.

In addition to Cambridge’s analysis of the impact of corporate events, on the whole,Respondents said that the content they posted on social media was not as personal as it was five years ago.A total of 60% people said that the content they posted was "very impersonal" or "relatively impersonal", but 25.7% people remained the same.

In 2016, The Information reported that, at least on Facebook, original personal sharing (compared with emoticons or links) is decreasing. API)2015 survey by the American Journalism Institute (API) found that millennials pay more attention to privacy issues than in the past.

"I think people are increasingly accepting that social media is a part of life." Das said. This is also reflected in himself. Das found himself sharing work updates or major personal events on Facebook. "In the past, I only posted irrelevant content."

As the freshness of social media has passed and its practicality has become stronger, perhaps people will realize more and more that private information is the price paid when using social media. Of course, some people don’t care about it.

"If Facebook wants to extract my data to improve the whole algorithm, just do it." Garvey said, "I think this will bring net benefits to society. These data are valuable, and more constructive insights can be found from them, not harmful. "

"mark zuckerberg is a genius of Facebook," said Shirley O’Key, a 98-year-old retired teacher living in California. "He has admirable goals, and he wants to provide communication channels for the world. I have great confidence in his sincerity in doing these things. Of course, he was also blocked, because everyone said he didn’t protect his privacy. However, we should realize that nothing in the world is private. "

Maybe people are not ignorant, just confused for a while. Beck’s colleague Alexis Madrigal pointed out that,The development of Facebook will not be hindered. It has grown and is very important to the lives of too many people. No negative news can really affect it.Facebook is unique, at least in terms of necessity. In Beck’s survey, most Facebook users (68.6%) said that without Facebook, their social life would be "a little", "average" and "great". For other social media platforms, most people’s attitude is that social life without it will "not suffer at all".

Regina Goodrich, a 26-year-old retail worker in Florida, said that she had frozen her Facebook account about five times in the past five years, but she couldn’t help but use it again. "I’m probably too afraid to miss something." Goodrich said. But recently, she completely deleted her account.It’s not because of Cambridge Analytica’s scandal, but because Facebook makes her feel too anxious. However, "privacy concerns are also one of the reasons."

However, in this survey, most people still reflect that they will not change their behavior of using social media because of this scandal.

Taylor Moore, a 22-year-old digital marketer in Chicago, said that Facebook is her "main social network" and she uses Facebook Messenger more than SMS. "If I have to delete some apps, deleting Facebook will definitely cause heavy losses." For Cambridge Analytica, Moore thought it was more like a "violation", and she didn’t change her usage habits because of it.

"The Cambridge Analytica incident is not the first time Facebook has fallen into a privacy storm." Schoenebeck said, "This kind of news has been breaking out for ten years. Every time we meet, people seem to think,’ This time it’s true, we must stay away from Facebook’. But then people forgot about it. Facebook is almost like a public tool, because people, especially adults, feel that they have to use it.So I don’t think people will associate using Facebook with trusting it.After all, many institutions and organizations are using it, such as workplaces, schools, community centers, churches, etc. People will miss many things if they don’t use it. "

Although the invasion of privacy will cause some people to completely quit some platforms, from a macro perspective, the dominant position of social media will not be shaken."It seems impossible to stop using the existing platform and return to the traditional social ways in the past." Das said, "We can’t stop using social media because they have completely changed the way we socialize, at least in this country."

On the contrary, if we continue to rely on social media to maintain relationships, then privacy violations that damage trust may lead to chilling effect. People will not give up social media, but they will use it more quietly, carefully and less personally. Social media is not a good tool for real connections.

With a high degree of theoretical consciousness and self-confidence, the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core creatively pondered and answered the new issues facing Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s development, put forward a series of innovative new ideas, new theories and new requirements, and made a new theoretical summary, forming the spirit of the important speeches of the Supreme Leader General Secretary, new ideas, new ideas and new strategies for governing the country and creating a new realm for adhering to and developing Socialism with Chinese characteristics.

　　This is a scientific and complete ideological and theoretical system, the latest achievement of Marxism in China, and the new contribution of our Party to the development of Marxism in the 21st century. Under the scientific guidance of the spirit of the series of important speeches by the Supreme Leader General Secretary and the new ideas, new ideas and new strategies of governing the country, the whole party’s thinking is more unified, its pace is more consistent, and its cohesion is greatly enhanced.

　　In these five years, we have painted a beautiful blueprint.

　　"Everyone has ideals and pursuits and has their own dreams. Now, everyone is discussing the Chinese dream. I think that realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation is the greatest dream of the Chinese nation in modern times. " On November 29th, 2012, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader visited the exhibition "The Road to Rejuvenation", which gave our ideals and pursuits a resounding name — — Chinese dream.

　　National dream, national dream and personal dream, the Chinese dream, with vivid words and magnificent feelings, is entrusted with the common expectations of several generations of Chinese, which embodies the overall interests of the Chinese nation and the people of China and condenses the greatest common denominator of 1.3 billion Chinese.

　　Under the traction of the Chinese dream, the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core has made concerted efforts to open up a new situation step by step;

　　Under the traction of the Chinese dream, China’s economy is the second largest economy in the world, successfully resisting various risk challenges, and "the scenery is unique here";

　　Under the traction of the Chinese dream, new progress has been made in learning to teach, earning income from labor, getting medical care for illness, providing for the elderly and living and living, and the people’s sense of gain has been significantly enhanced.

　　In the past five years, we have cultivated a heavy foundation.

　　"To persist in Do not forget your initiative mind and move on, we must adhere to Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s road confidence, theoretical confidence, institutional confidence and cultural confidence, unswervingly adhere to the party’s basic line, and constantly push forward the great cause of Socialism with Chinese characteristics." At the celebration of the 95th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China (CPC), General Secretary of the Supreme Leader solemnly proposed to adhere to the "four self-confidences".

　　Relying on the "four self-confidences", we continue to create miracles in China, contribute wisdom in China, and provide China’s solutions, so that the Chinese nation with a history of more than 5,000 years of civilization development can glow with new vitality.

　　"I am confident that if I live for 200 years, I will be hit by water for three thousand miles." Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s continuous great achievements fully prove that Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s road is correct, Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s theoretical system is scientific, Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s system is advanced, and Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s culture is full of vitality.

　　In these five years, we have led a core value.

　　"Prosperity, democracy, civilization, harmony, freedom, equality, justice, rule of law, patriotism, dedication, honesty and friendliness." 24 words, every word is well-written.

　　In the past five years, the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader has put forward a series of innovative new ideas, new viewpoints and new requirements around cultivating and carrying forward the socialist core values, which is an important part of the new ideas, new ideas and new strategies of the Party Central Committee governing the country with the Comrade of the Supreme Leader as the core.

　　In the past five years, the cultivation of socialist core values has entered the mind. "100 forums on core values" was held, and public service advertisements "Illustrating our values" were created and broadcast; Nursery rhymes, paper-cutting, Allegro, handwritten newspapers, creative propaganda methods and vivid display carriers have made the core values of "24 words" sound in the whole society.

　　In the past five years, the pace of practicing socialist core values has been sonorous. People have seen that "the most beautiful people" have emerged from all walks of life and shined the land of China, vividly interpreting the rich connotation of socialist core values; People heard that the "model of the times" issued a strong voice of the times, boosted the spirit of the times, and bravely acted as the vanguard of practice and promotion. The whole society is constantly setting off the trend of the times of being good and upward.

　　In these five years, we have laid a solid foundation for party building.

　　Ideological party building is the basic principle and requirement of Marxist party building, and it is also a valuable experience and an important magic weapon for the continuous development and growth of our party. It is also the distinctive feature and primary task of managing the party since the 18th National Congress.

　　The CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core attaches great importance to the Party’s ideological construction. From a political and overall perspective, it has successively deployed and carried out the Party’s mass line education and practice activities, "three strictness and three realities" special education and "two studies and one doing" study and education, promoting the inner-party education to expand from "key minority" to all party member, and from centralized education to regular education, and playing a set of "combination boxing" to continuously strengthen the inner-party ideological and political education. People have seen that the "master switch" of party member and cadres’ thoughts has been tightened constantly, and party organizations at all levels and the vast number of party member have strengthened their beliefs, strengthened the "four consciousnesses", and built a highly consistent ideological foundation with the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core, and gathered into a powerful force to promote reform, development and stability.

　　It is with this theoretical system, this beautiful blueprint, this heavy foundation, this core value and this foundation of party building that our party is more cohesive, uniting and leading the people in the extraordinary five years and bringing the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation into reality.
