Li Yanming, a businessman from Yan ‘an, Shaanxi Province, was administratively detained by Baota Branch of Yan ‘an Public Security Bureau for 15 days in July this year and fined 3,000 yuan. Caixin. com previously reported that Li Yanming was not released after the detention. The family said that he was later taken away by the disciplinary Committee for investigation. During this period, Li Yanming suffered from closed head injury (severe) and bilateral occipital fractures due to his careless fall. On September 2nd, Li Yanming was arrested on suspicion of opening a casino. Since then, the family’s application for bail has been rejected.

On September 17th, Li Yanming’s attorney Qu Zhenhong provided The Paper with Li Yanming’s admission record. According to the record, Li Yanming was admitted to Xi ‘an Central Hospital at 16: 08 on August 3rd. "The patient said that he accidentally fell from the bed and landed on his pillow in the hotel. After the injury, he did not feel coma, vomiting, limb convulsions and dizziness. He was sent to our hospital after others found out. Head CT showed left occipital epidural hematoma, left cerebellar tentorium suspected subdural hematoma, right frontal lobe contusion, subarachnoid hemorrhage and bilateral occipital fracture. "

Admission records also show that Li Yanming has hypertension grade 2 (very high risk), left renal atrophy, aspiration pneumonia and so on. On August 3rd, Xi ‘an Central Hospital admitted Li Yanming with "closed head injury (severe)" and performed craniotomy on the same day.

Li Yanming’s hospitalization certificate

One month after the operation, Li Yanming was arrested. The notice of arrest served by the Baota Branch of Yan ‘an Public Security Bureau to Li Yanming’s family showed that "with the approval of the Baota District Procuratorate of Yan ‘an City, our bureau arrested Li Yanming on suspicion of opening a casino at 17: 00 on September 2, 2020, and is now detained in Xi ‘an Ankang Hospital." According to public information, Xi ‘an Ankang Hospital is a national secondary psychiatric hospital under the Xi ‘an Public Security Bureau and a designated medical hospital in the supervision place.

Li Yanming’s arrest notice

Qu Zhenhong told The Paper that she had applied to Ankang Hospital on September 7th to meet her client Li Yanming, but was told that Li Yanming was not allowed to meet a lawyer by the case-handling organ. I don’t know why. On September 18th, The Paper telephoned the police officer handling the Li Yanming case, trying to find out why the police refused to allow lawyers to meet Li Yanming, but the police officer said that he would not accept the interview and immediately hung up.

Qu Zhenhong told The Paper that on September 7, she also mailed an application for bail pending trial to the police officer of Baota Branch of Yan ‘an Public Security Bureau through EMS, but it was rejected on September 10.

After that, on September 14th, Li Yanming’s family went to Baota Branch to submit the application for bail pending trial. According to the application, after compulsory measures were taken, Li Yanming fell down on August 3, was diagnosed with closed head injury (severe), and underwent craniotomy on the same day. At present, Li Yanming’s physical condition is poor and he is not suitable for detention. In addition, Xi ‘an Ankang Hospital is a specialized psychiatric hospital, which mainly treats all kinds of mental patients and drug addicts, but it is incapable of treating Li Yanming’s illness.

In addition, the application also stated that Li Yanming’s alleged crime of opening a casino did not involve violent crimes, and taking measures to obtain bail pending trial would not cause social danger. He has opened a number of companies in Yan ‘an and has a fixed residence. He can be on call after being released on bail pending trial, which does not affect the police’s continued investigation of the case.

However, the above application for bail pending trial was rejected on the same day. The notice of compulsory measures not to be changed issued by Baota Branch of Yan ‘an Public Security Bureau said: "After review, our bureau believes that taking bail pending trial may destroy and falsify evidence and interfere with witnesses’ testimony or collusion; It may involve other new crimes, and the adoption of bail pending trial hinders investigation. According to the provisions of Article 97 of the Criminal Procedure Law, it is decided not to change the compulsory measures. "

Notice of police not to change compulsory measures

According to Caixin. com, Li Yanming, together with other representatives of small and medium-sized private enterprises in Yan ‘an, reported that several microfinance companies in Yan ‘an were involved in usury, black and evil and the umbrella behind them. The Yan ‘an Public Security Bureau set up a task force in 2019, and the case is still under investigation.

The Shanghai Auto Show, the first international A-class auto show after the epidemic was released, was opened on April 18th. At this auto show entitled "Embracing the new era of the auto industry", the China market is being valued by more and more international brands, and the appearance of executives from major multinational auto companies at the Shanghai Auto Show shows that "China is the future of the auto industry".

In the upsurge of planning for the domestic market, Changan Mazda CX-50 was officially unveiled for pre-sale at the Shanghai Auto Show, and its pricing finally unveiled the mystery-the pre-sale price of six optional models was 159,800-212,000 yuan, and the first day’s order exceeded 2,629 units.

In fact, before the price was officially released, Changan Mazda CX-50 had already started the offline car booking, and it took only 18 days to break through 10,000. In today’s market of new energy vehicles, Mazda CX-50 achieved this result, and its excellent product strength and sincerity of pre-sale concessions are indispensable.

The price of compact SUV, the experience of medium-sized SUV

"If you use a word to describe why you choose Changan Mazda CX-50, I think it is a sense of value." I believe this is also the inner thoughts of many prospective owners of Changan Mazda CX-50. The entry price of 159,800 yuan can be described as a "surprise" for Mazda fans, and they can also enjoy the car booking benefits of "three guarantees, four exemptions and one rejuvenation", lifetime warranty+insurance subsidies+free maintenance opportunities. If they are not well off, they can also borrow interest-free, which is simply full of intimacy and security.

In addition, Mazda CX-50 has been specially adjusted for China market and China consumers, which has reduced the height of the bulge in the middle of the rear seat and increased the legroom of the rear seat by 55mm compared with the overseas version. It is no exaggeration to say that it feels like a C-class entry-level executive car. With such sincerity, it should be a rare thing to order less.

Ingeniously Create "Six Good" SUVs and Set New Industry Standards

Behind the 18-day order breaking through 10,000 is the unique product strength created by Changan Mazda, which combines the needs of China users with the global quality standards of Mazda brand, and it is also a brand-new "six good" SUV standard that achieves the strong competitiveness of Mazda CX-50. Mazda has waved the banner of "six good students" in SUV in the new era when everyone is striving to be "three good students" in the automobile industry.

First, it’s good. It’s huge.There is no evidence in the mouth, and the data proves that the Mazda CX-50 is 4785mm long, 1920mm wide and 2815mm wheelbase, while the general compact SUV is 4.2-4.6 meters long and 2.6-2.7 meters wheelbase. Looking at the size alone, the CX-50 can be divided into medium-sized SUVs. This size advantage will be more intense under the physical comparison, especially the internal space upgrade brought by the large size, which is equivalent to buying a higher level at a lower price. Driving experience.

Second, good-looking.Even people who don’t know about cars can judge whether a car looks good or not. At the same time, "good-looking" is also an important reference value for many consumers when choosing a car. After all, not everyone can be indifferent to the technical indicators of a car. In terms of appearance, Mazda has always been a leader in the industry. After all, the phrase "I haven’t seen Mazda, I can’t prove that you are a Yan Control Party" is not boasted. Mazda CX-50 adopts the design concept of "soul moving", and its calm and atmospheric appearance looks like "strong bones", which, combined with the beautiful body proportion, brings "vitality" to the face; For the interior, CX-50 has been subtracted this time, and the overall route is simple and high-end. The cordovan with high gloss and excellent touch is as good as the big-name luxury car, and it is a well-deserved compact SUV drop-dead gorgeous.

Third, it’s good and easy to drive.The creation of overhead feeling has always been Mazda’s advantage, and Mazda has always stood firm in the same class. Mazda CX-50 is no exception. Although it is outstanding in its class, thanks to Mazda’s unique driving and control performance, CX-50 still has excellent handling. The body structure of Chuangchi Blue Sky can turn as expected even when driving at high speed, so there is no need to worry about driving stability. At the same time, it provides two power options: 2.0L and 2.5L. The 2.5L engine is equipped with intelligent non-inductive variable cylinder engine technology, and the fuel consumption is lower under the same conditions.

Fourth, it is good and safe.There are thousands of roads, and safety comes first. Driving safety has always been the top priority of car owners, and Mazda has always insisted on safety investment without cost ceiling! The steel with high strength and above accounts for 58.59%, the front and rear impact beams are made of 1800MPa thermoformed steel, and there are as many as 77 steel with body hardness above 980MPa. Its leading active and passive safety performance has made Mazda CX-50 top the North American crash test list.

Fifth, good intelligence.At the moment when the automobile industry is changing like electrification intelligence, the intelligence level of a car is also an important criterion. Changan Mazda has tailored the "Third Generation Mazda Yuelian System" for consumers in China market, which deeply integrates car life and intelligence, and realizes remote control of cars with mobile phones. This is also Mazda’s first model with 100% 4G networking and Internet ecological function.

Sixth, good quality."Good quality" has always been an important reason why Mazda attracts fans’ love. Mazda has always had high standards and strict requirements, both in the visible appearance and the invisible internal materials. Changan Mazda Nanjing Factory strictly follows Mazda’s global quality standards. Just the choice of car paint, it has to go through as many as 10 kinds of chemical reagents. In addition, Chang ‘an Mazda Nanjing Factory also has a number of advanced technologies, such as Mazda’s unique automatic tightening equipment for front and rear axles, as well as domestic leading welding and painting technologies, etc., and has also invested in a newly developed automatic assembly line with 4 doors and 2 covers for CX-50. In the case that the pricing has been so "surprising", Mazda can still adhere to the application of many high-grade materials and advanced technologies. Mazda’s brand concept of "people-oriented" and its brand essence of "pleasant driving" can be seen.

Mazda CX-50 is not only a life but also a pursuit.

I believe that many families choose compact SUVs from the perspective of economic application. However, with the increase in travel demand and the natural yearning for mountains, Mazda has also thought about it, and the concept of "mountain system" has emerged from time to time.

"The mountain didn’t come to see me, so I walked to the mountain. Watch the sunset, run under the mountain peak … feel at ease like the wind, and travel all over the mountains, rivers, lakes and seas. " Like "mountain life", Mazda CX-50 also takes the key words of casualness, nature and independence. Based on the pursuit of freedom and the desire for nature of urban families, it boldly takes this step from SUV to off-road integration. It appears as a wide-body SUV of mountain life and breaks through the inherent design dimension of urban SUV. From product appearance design to functional design, CX-50 can perfectly play the role of commuting in urban life, but also be outdoors.

At the pre-sale conference, Mazda CX-50 announced its Chinese name-"Hangye" for the first time, which is also the result created by Mazda and all fans in China. As expressed by the origin of its Chinese name, Mazda has always adhered to the user demand-oriented, built a brand with users, and anchored a high-value experience from the user’s point of view with the professional attitude of deeply cultivating the China market and the determination to serve users.

For example, on CX-50, the wireless charging station did not choose to follow Volkswagen’s design in front of the center console, but chose to put it in the back, and set a certain inclination angle, which is more conducive to users’ blind operation. On the basis of overall performance balance and solid structure, Mazda CX-50′ s ingenious ideas really add a lot of points, and it is also worthy of being the "optimal solution" in compact SUV.

It is understood that Mazda will transform into electric automation this year, and strive to achieve the next goal of 2 million vehicles for the whole system. MAZDA CX-50HEV hybrid will also make its world debut, and it is also expected that Mazda will bring higher quality, more intelligent and more China-oriented excellent vehicles to China fans in the future.

[Text/Observer Network Long Wei] US President Trump’s "36-hour" visit from 24 to 25 became the focus of India. On the eve of Trump’s visit to India, India renovated the former residence of Mahatma Gandhi; Build a 6-foot-high wall to block the view of slums; Reuters reported on 23rd that some residents and officials said that the scale of Trump’s visit was unprecedented.

However, on the morning of 23rd, due to the windy weather, the entrance gate of "VVIP" outside the newly renovated stadium in Mouteira collapsed, and a large-scale rally of "Namaste Trump" (namaste means namaste) is about to be held in this stadium with a capacity of about 110,000 people.

According to the schedule announced by the Indian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Trump’s "36-hour" visit to India is very "compact", and the rally of "Hello Trump" at the stadium is the first stop. After that, Trump will also visit the Taj Mahal and New Delhi; Meeting with Indian President Cowend in Delhi and attending the state banquet hosted by Cowend; Then go to the former residence of Mahatma Gandhi in India; Then hold formal talks with Modi and attend the Roundtable of Indian Business Leaders …

Before Trump’s visit, India made enough preparations, some of which were widely questioned as "face projects".

The Times of India reported on the 23rd that India rebuilt the sardar patel Cricket Stadium (built in 1982) in Mouteira, Ahmedabad. Previously, the stadium could accommodate 49,000 spectators, but now it can accommodate 110,000 people and become the largest stadium in the world.

However, on the 23rd, the temporary "VVIP" entrance gate made of welded steel bars was accidentally blown down by the wind. "After a while, another temporary door at the main entrance of the stadium also partially collapsed," said an Indian official. Fortunately, no one was injured in the accident. At present, Reuters said that the 30-foot-high gate has been repaired.

On the Marty River in Sabar, the former residence of Indian Mahatma Gandhi, a renovation is under way. "Workers are watering the lawn and repainting the walls," Reuters reported. Trump will visit the complex for 15 minutes on Monday (24th). According to reports, India has also deployed more than 10,000 police officers for Trump’s visit.

Indian workers do cleaning in Gandhi’s former residence, the same as in Reuters.

In Ahmedabad, the Indian government began to build a wall covering slums such as Saraniavas. In order to keep slums out of Trump’s sight, a wall at least 6 feet high began to be erected.

On the 17th, the local government also issued eviction orders to 45 families living in another slum near the cricket ground in Ahmedabad. "We have lived here for 20 years, and now we are suddenly told to move because an important leader is coming here for a day." Sanjay Patani, a local resident, said: "This is unfair!"

Meanwhile, a few days ago, officials in Uttar Pradesh, where the Taj Mahal is located, were pouring water into yamuna river, which connects the Ganges, at a rate of about 14,160 liters per second to ensure that Trump would not smell the bad smell in the river when he visited the Taj Mahal. An archaeological investigation official told India Today that they were also ordered to drive the lost monkeys out of the Taj Mahal during Trump’s visit.

Indian workers are cleaning the fountain of the Taj Mahal.

According to the official news from the Indian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, at the invitation of Indian Prime Minister Modi, Trump will pay a state visit to India accompanied by the first lady of the United States, Melania, from 24th to 25th. Indian Foreign Secretary Shrinla said that Modi will hold "comprehensive talks" with Trump in various fields such as trade, national defense, counter-terrorism, energy and cultural exchanges. The White House issued a statement saying that the purpose of this visit is to further strengthen the strategic partnership between the United States and India and consolidate the relationship between the two peoples.

It is worth noting that Xinhua News Agency quoted analysts as saying that trade issues and defense cooperation will be the key topics of Trump’s visit. This year is the election year of the United States, and Trump tried to use this visit to add points for his re-election. However, although India and the United States have been conducting trade negotiations for several months, the symbolic significance of this visit is greater than the actual significance, and the differences between the two sides on trade, arms sales and other issues are difficult to resolve in the short term.

Three phases of slight cold

There are three stages of slight cold: first, waiting for Yanbei township, second, waiting for magpies to start their nests, and third, waiting for pheasants to start their nests.

At the first time, although the geese are still wintering in the south, they have already sensed that the yang is about to rise, and the geese began to fly back to their hometown from south to north;

In the second season, magpies will brave the cold and start building nests, ready to give birth to offspring;

The pheasant in the third stage was a pheasant, and the pheasant in the mountain also sensed the sun’s spirit and began to sing for a companion.

It can be seen that although the weather is cold in the slight cold solar terms, the creatures of nature can still feel the sun be the spirit sprouting between heaven and earth in the snow and ice.

　　　　[Guangming Shuhua]　　　　

　　　　Disaster has always been an important content and theme of drama narration. Shakespeare’s plays are undoubtedly the highest achievement of English drama in the Renaissance and an important part of English literature. In many plays, Shakespeare described a particularly special and terrible disaster-plague.

　　　　For example, there is a key scene in Romeo and Juliet. Father Lawrence sent his confidant John to send a crucial letter to Romeo. Because John accidentally walked into a plague-infected family when he passed through the plague-stricken area, the patrolman locked him in an isolated room, which delayed the delivery of the letter to Romeo as scheduled. It was because of the delay in this letter that Romeo took "dead Juliet" for granted and chose to commit suicide. Actually, Juliet is just in a deep coma after drinking medicine.

　　　　This scene not only reasonably explains why the letter didn’t arrive on time, but also truly describes the situation of everyone fearing for themselves after the plague. We learned from this that even in the 16th century when Shakespeare lived, the plague areas would take corresponding isolation measures. During the plague, the infected people were blocked in the house and were not allowed to go out; People who enter the city from outside should also be isolated in order to prevent the spread of the epidemic.

　　　　In addition, there are descriptions of the plague to varying degrees in plays such as Antony and Cleopatra, Coe Leoline, King Lear, Trollos and Cresida, and Timon of Athens. Shakespeare described plagues many times in his plays because he experienced and witnessed a dangerous and special era with frequent plagues.

1. Venus and adonis made Shakespeare famous.

　　　　In Shakespeare’s life, he suffered many major plagues. Peter Akrod mentioned in Shakespeare’s Biography that in the summer of 1564, the year when Shakespeare was born, in less than six months, about 237 residents died one after another, accounting for 1/10 of the total population of the parish, and only one third of the babies born in the town lived to one year old. Shakespeare became a survivor after the plague when his mother took him to a nearby village to take refuge.

　　　　Shakespeare is indeed a survivor and lucky one blessed by God. In the summer of 1592, the large-scale Black Death broke out in London until 1594, resulting in the death of one in every 12 residents, and Shakespeare, who made a living in London at that time, was lucky enough to escape again. Like contemporary writers, he was always threatened by plague and death, and his career was invaded by plague many times. Many of his neighbors, friends and audiences died in the plague one after another, but it is a miracle that he survived the plague and wrote immortal plays.

　　　　At that time, London, like other places in Europe, had limited official measures to control the spread and spread of the plague. Compared with the epidemic prevention and control mechanism all over the world in today’s Internet age, the plague control method at that time was very simple, and posting public notices was one of them. After a particularly serious plague, the government will print relevant notices and post them in more conspicuous public areas of the city to educate the public on matters needing attention in epidemic prevention. After the disaster, the government will also print a "Death List" with the parish as the unit to count and publicize the number of deaths.

　　　　Due to the spread of the plague, the London Public Theatre was forced to close in February 1593 and did not reopen until a year later. It rained all night, and after the public theater was briefly opened, the Privy Council ordered that acting be banned within 5 miles of London, and Shakespeare and his theater were in trouble. What was Shakespeare doing during the plague period from 1592 to 1594, when he lost his livelihood because of the closure of the theater? What does he do for a living? Although he can play some plays in the private houses of court nobles, this kind of gag performance is unreliable, and that meager income can’t guarantee him to support his family at all. During the plague, Shakespeare, if he wanted to stay in London, had to find other ways to make money, on the one hand, to support his family in Strafford, on the other hand, to find other jobs and outlets to replace acting. For those who were engaged in literary and artistic creation at that time, the most important thing was to find a sponsor.

　　　　As we all know, the most important patron of Shakespeare’s life is the Earl of Southampton. Venus and adonis, a long poem dedicated to the Earl of Southampton, was published in April, 1593. It is the first known poem published by Shakespeare, with a total of 1,194 lines. The creation of the long poem coincided with the plague in England. The main material of this long poem came from Ovid’s Metamorphosis. Young Shakespeare’s ideal was to be Ovid’s successor in England. Shakespeare wrote this long poem, on the one hand, because during the plague, he urgently needed to win the trust and support of his patron, Earl of Southampton; On the other hand, I want to show my talent in drawing lessons from and using classical literature resources, which is not inferior to those Cambridge students like Marlowe and Spencer, because they once ridiculed Shakespeare as a peasant who didn’t know grammar.

　　　　After the publication of this long poem, its popularity was unexpected by Shakespeare himself. It is said that almost every woman in a noble family in London has a copy of Venus and adonis on her desk, and it is also popular to copy Shakespeare’s poems among college students in Cambridge and students in the four major law schools. It can be said that what really made Shakespeare famous overnight was this long poem written during the plague. It is with this long poem that Shakespeare’s genius was appreciated by the Earl of Southampton. Scholars believe that Shakespeare’s second narrative poem "The Humiliation of Lucretius" may have been written during this period of avoiding the plague, and the poem reflects the true story in Roman history.

　　　　During the outbreak of the plague in London in 1592-1593, Shakespeare’s two narrative long poems, Venus and adonis and the Disgrace of Lucretius, made him famous and gained fame and fortune. The plague in Elizabethan period not only did not destroy Shakespeare’s poetic genius, but in a sense allowed him to stay away from complicated affairs temporarily. Under the protection of the Earl of Southampton, in a relatively comfortable environment, Shakespeare was able to devote himself to poetry creation and survived the terrible time when the plague prevailed.

Never let sad tears soak his plays.

　　　　Great changes in the history of the times can influence the rise and fall of drama, but not the talent of poets.

　　　　From December 1592 to 1593, London closed public theaters because of the plague; After a brief opening in 1594, it was closed in April and mid-May of that year because of a new epidemic. This repeated tossing caused some actors to change careers during the epidemic, and a large number of troupes were dissolved, and few troupes finally survived.

　　　　Shakespeare himself still insisted on preparing for the post-disaster reconstruction troupe during the plague-ridden period. He knew that many troupes would not persist, and those who persisted would be the final winners. In February 1594, Shakespeare completed the revenge tragedy Titus Andlau Knicks, which was the first published Shakespeare play. Then he created several historical dramas such as Richard II and King John.

　　　　Shortly after the plague, in May of 1594, under the protection of Baron Henston, the "Palace Minister Troupe" was established. Shakespeare also joined the troupe, and he contributed all the plays he had written in the past as the capital of his shareholding. Shakespeare is one of the eight shareholders of the troupe. According to The Chronicle of Shakespeare, it was from 1594 that he began his great cooperation with richard burbage.

　　　　During this period, Shakespeare, as the main actor and screenwriter of the troupe, wrote and acted. In 1594, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Romeo and Juliet and Richard II premiered one after another. As the first stage of Shakespeare’s creation, He has completed the futile love (1594), A Midsummer Night’s Dream (1596), The Merchant of Venice (1596), Henry IV (Part 1 /1596), The Merry Wives of Windsor (1597) and Henry IV (Part 2/1596). On the eve of the Earl of Essex’s rebellion in 1601, Shakespeare’s troupe performed charles ii at the Globe Theatre. Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night also premiered in this year. Perhaps to bring some joy and comfort to people who are negative and world-weary after the plague, Shakespeare created many comedies after the plague.

　　　　However, the good times did not last long, and then in 1603, a large-scale plague broke out again, which made the originally turbulent national situation even more precarious. On March 24th, 1603, the Queen died at the age of seventy. The Tudor Dynasty, which began in henry vii and lasted for 118 years for five monarchs, came to an end. The air of death all over London aggravated the sadness of the queen’s death. As the Queen’s designated heir to the throne, James I succeeded.

　　　　James I brought changes to the theatre environment in London. On May 17, 1603, the "Palace Minister Troupe" was officially reorganized into the "King Sacrifice Troupe", and on May 19, the King of England issued a letter of patent. It probably means that no matter where Shakespeare’s troupe performs after the plague subsides, all localities should not only allow but also give the best support and assistance, but also give considerable courtesy. In the first ten years of James I’s reign, the actors of the Globe Theatre were invited to perform at the court more than ten times a year on average. At this time, Shakespeare already had the privilege of symbolizing identity.

　　　　In 1603, when the plague reached its peak, London officially printed the Death List, which was published every week for a penny, and thousands of names appeared on the death list with a huge print run. As today, once the citizens knew that the plague appeared in the city, the only way they could think of was to flee, but fleeing caused a greater spread of the plague. The nobles fled to the country villas to take refuge, but it was the same for the poor everywhere, so the poor were the ones who died the most in the plague. In order to prevent the people who fled the city from further aggravating the spread of the plague, the government will also issue regulations on isolation and confinement to restrict freedom of movement. Nevertheless, the plague in 1603 killed one fifth of the population.

　　　　During the plague, Shakespeare never put down his pen, and after the plague, he ushered in a turning point in his personal destiny. He not only wrote tit for tat (1604), Othello (1604), All’s well that ends well (1605), King Lear (1605) and Macbeth (1606).

　　　　During the plague, the theater was forced to close, and the official announcement prohibited "the audience gathering together" because it was particularly easy to lead to "large-scale infection of the plague or the epidemic of other infectious diseases". Without an audience, the troupe can’t survive. In order to survive, most troupes have moved to other provinces, from fixed places to traveling performances, and Shakespeare’s troupes often tour other provinces. In the history of London, the longest periods of theater closure were: 1581-1582, 1592-1593, 1603-1604, 1608-1609, 1625, 1630, 1636-1637, 1640 and 1641, respectively. The impact of theater closure on the troupe was as follows

　　　　In 1605, Shakespeare didn’t take part in the touring performance of the King’s Sacrifice Troupe. After Othello in 1604, Shakespeare devoted himself to the writing of King Lear, which was completed in early 1606 at the latest. Perhaps it is the direct context of the plague. Shakespeare asked King Lear to use the words "revenge, plague, death and chaos" in his curse on his daughter Reagan and her husband Cornwall, and denounced her as "a plague sore hidden in my corrupt blood". The exact time of script writing has been controversial in academic circles. Some scholars speculate that King Lear was written around the end of 1605 according to Gloucester’s lines in one scene and two scenes, "These recent solar and lunar eclipses are not good omen" and the phenomena of solar and lunar eclipses that occurred in September 1605.

　　　　Since then, Shakespeare has entered the most mature creative period of his life.

3. Look at the impermanence of life with rational eyes

　　　　Shakespeare, who has experienced the test of plague and death, naturally has a deeper understanding of the nature of the world and life. In The Tempest (1611), he borrowed Prospero’s words:

　　　　Our party is over. Our actors,

　　　　I once told you that it was a group of elves;

　　　　All of them have vanished into thin smoke.

　　　　Like the illusory composition of this illusion,

　　　　A castle in the clouds, a magnificent palace,

　　　　Solemn temples, even the earth itself,

　　　　And everything on earth, will also dissipate,

　　　　Just like this illusion, there is not even a shadow of smoke.

　　　　We are all dream characters,

　　　　Our life is in a deep sleep.

　　　　The characters and scenes on the stage are fleeting like a mirage, and so is human life. Plague eliminated the differences between society, class, gender, dignity and individuals. In this line by Shakespeare, the meaning of "the whole world is a stage" is perhaps more complicated than we realized before-the great poet has refined the truth contained in the "stage" of "the world", that is, "impermanence".

　　　　Shakespeare always enjoys light and shadow, reveling in ugliness and beauty, loftiness and inferiority, richness and poverty, smallness and magnificence. He created Iago and imogen with the same pleasure. No matter in the dark and horrible image of tragedy or the graceful and dreamy image of comedy, we can see the development of his English historical drama to Roman drama, his exploration of the national identity of England and Britain, his interest in the marginal "other" (such as Shylock the Jew and Othello the Moor), and the complex female images he created … In his great works, the thinking about life and death runs through.

　　　　Shakespeare’s plays show people’s attitude towards death-not to deny death, but to give it special meaning and gain wisdom from it. In tragedy, those who are doomed to be destroyed by fate will not leave this world casually. On the contrary, they have a special mission. They always convey the noble and rational spirit of human beings seriously and fully through philosophical language, just like Hamlet. Only after completing such a mission will they leave the stage in a solemn way.

　　　　Great art is a spiritual vaccine given to the world by great writers.

　　　　When viruses and plagues threatened mankind, Shakespeare wrote the most brilliant poems. When Shakespeare looked at the impermanence of life and the truth of existence with rational eyes, he affirmed the human appeal of love, freedom and perfection buried behind it, the moral laws from the ideal kingdom of beauty and the sacred inner light beyond religion, all of which made us feel that the plague stopped in the poet’s poems. For Shakespeare, who was immersed in art, the plague hardly existed. By creating a bright and poetic world, he revealed why Shakespeare was so extraordinary in the Renaissance when the stars were shining.
