A Comparative Analysis of the Litigation Qualifications of the Mainland Owners’ Committee and the Hong Kong Owners’ Court Association in the Common Dispute Cases
There are frequent disputes in residential communities in the Chinese mainland regarding property encroachment and illegal construction. The collective rights protection efforts by the homeowners face procedural obstacles. The core issue lies in the fact that the Civil Code of China does not clearly define the complete civil litigation subject qualification. In contrast, the Building Management Ordinance of Hong Kong grants the homeowners’ legal committee an independent legal person status and clear litigation qualifications, resulting in higher efficiency in rights protection. This article employs a comparative research method, analyzing the litigation qualifications of property owners’ organizations in the two regions from dimensions such as legal basis, legal person status, and property liability. The study reveals that the main difference between the two regions lies in that the mainland law does not clearly define the litigation qualifications of the owners’ committee, while the Hong Kong corporation enjoys the legal litigation qualifications; this difference stems from the different legislative logics of the two regions. Based on this, this paper proposes a path to improve the property rights protection system for property owners in the Chinese mainland. It constructs a mechanism for the exclusive property rights and liability assumption of the property owners’ committee, clarifies their status as an unincorporated organization and their litigation qualifications, and simplifies the authorization procedures for litigation. This research can provide theoretical and practical references for the improvement of the property rights protection system for property owners in the Chinese mainland.

Visitor Heterogeneity in Archaeological Heritage Tourism: A Latent Profile Analysis of Experience Patterns at Sanxingdui
Visitors to archaeological heritage attractions are not homogeneous, yet much of the existing literature estimates average relationships among perceived value, satisfaction, and behavioral intention. Such variable-centered analyses may conceal meaningful differences in how visitors experience the same site. Using Sanxingdui as the case, this study applies latent profile analysis to 371 valid questionnaires and identifies visitor subgroups from three dimensions of experience value: functional, emotional, and social value. The profiles are then compared in terms of visit motivations, satisfaction, behavioral intention, and demographic characteristics. Model comparison supports a four-profile solution that balances statistical fit, classification quality, parsimony, and substantive interpretability. The sample comprises a low-experience-perception profile (17.8%), a moderate-experience-perception profile (41.2%), an elevated-experience-perception profile (26.7%), and a high-experience-identification profile (14.3%). Heterogeneity is expressed primarily as a graded structure in which all three value dimensions rise together, rather than as sharply separated functional, emotional, or social preference types. Satisfaction and behavioral intention increase markedly in the elevated and high-identification profiles, whereas differences between the low and moderate profiles are not statistically significant after adjustment, suggesting a threshold-like group pattern. All four visit motivations become stronger across the higher profiles, while basic demographic variables do not reliably distinguish class membership. The study extends archaeological tourism research from average net effects to person-centered heterogeneity and recommends prioritizing the large moderate profile through integrated interpretation, emotional storytelling, and socially shareable experiences.

Research on Strategies for Cross-border E-commerce Operators to Respond to TROs: From the Perspective of Litigation Based on AI-Generated Content as the Basis of Rights
This paper examines a specific type of litigation brought in the United States by plaintiffs against Chinese cross-border e-commerce operators through Temporary Restraining Orders (TROs), in which claims are often grounded in AI-generated content asserted as the basis of rights. Recent cases, including the “Baby Shark” dispute, are used as reference to discuss possible response approaches. From a procedural perspective, one line of defense concerns service of process under the Hague Service Convention and China’s related reservations. On this basis, it is often argued that service may not be properly effected, and that email-based service of a TRO on defendants located in China does not necessarily carry legal validity. From a substantive perspective, challenges may be raised regarding the copyrightability of AI-generated content. In particular, plaintiffs may need to demonstrate a sufficient degree of human involvement in the creation of the works in question. In addition, settlement decisions require careful evaluation in practice. In some situations, prioritizing litigation defense rather than early settlement may help avoid inflated settlement expectations by the opposing party. At the operational level, maintaining documentation of product design processes and authorization records is commonly viewed as important evidence for potential disputes. Taken together, these layered responses—covering procedural objections, substantive challenges, settlement considerations, and routine compliance practices—reflect a more structured defensive posture in responding to such TRO-based litigation.

Multimodal Content Presentation Characteristics and Algorithmic Reconstruction of AIGC-Generated Science Popularization Short Videos: A Case Study of the Douyin Platform
Generative artificial intelligence is deeply involved in the production of popular science short videos and promoting the dissemination of scientific knowledge into the platform in a multimodal form. However, AIGC not only improves the efficiency of content production, but also may change the way knowledge is organized and the path of understanding. This study takes the AIGC-generated science popularization short video on the Douyin platform as the object of observation, and analyzes its multimodal expression characteristics from the visual, linguistic, and auditory dimensions. The study found that AIGC popular science short videos have three main characteristics: visual spectacle, linguistic templatization and auditory style differentiation. Under the mutual influence of technical logic, platform logic and attention logic, the expression of scientific knowledge undergoes algorithmic reconstruction. This process enhances the perceptibility of scientific knowledge and accelerates its dissemination, but it also causes scientific authenticity to be aestheticized and poses the risk that deep understanding will be replaced by sensory experience. The optimization method lies in taking the promotion of understanding as the anchor point and re-forming the integrity of knowledge expression in the multimodal joint action.

Digital Isolation and Boundary Negotiation: A Study of Cyber-Severing among Chinese Emerging Adults
In contemporary China, young people aged 18 to 25 who study or work away from home are increasingly choosing to practice "Going low contact" (This word corresponds to "Duanqin" in Chinese internet slang, referring to minimizing contact with one's family of origin and maintaining only superficial politeness for the sake of mental health.) with their families of origin. This phenomenon represents not only physical isolation in the traditional sense but also a form of psychological separation mediated by electronic devices. This study conceptualizes this boundary management as "Cyber-Severing," exploring how emerging adults navigate the tension between the viscous kinship bonds of East Asian families and their developmental need for individual identity. Adopting a qualitative phenomenological approach, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 32 participants selected based on Family Communication Patterns Theory (FCPT). Thematic analysis reveals that youth actively enact structural information segregation and perform low-cost emotional labor to circumvent intense parental surveillance and conformity pressures, transforming social media into a shield for personal privacy. Consequently, their emotional dependence is migrating from ascriptive kinship ties toward algorithmically curated affinity communities, reducing family interactions to instrumental and ritualistic maintenance. Ultimately, Cyber-Severing is not a complete familial rupture, but a covert, rational renegotiation of intergenerational power and boundaries. It signals a profound digital reformation of traditional filial piety into a modern, adaptive contract of intimacy at a distance.

Building Comprehensive Compliance for Cross-Border Supply Chains Under Export Control Laws and Regulations
The tightening of export control regulations has laid the groundwork for unprecedented requirements around cross-border supply chain compliance. The traditional approach of conducting a static review of the parties directly involved in a transaction will not address the systemic challenges posed by the expansion of regulatory tentacles to the farthest reaches of the supply chain. Ultimately, the core of penetrating compliance lies in rethinking the logic of compliance governance, expanding the subject of compliance from individual corporations to all players in the entire chain, broadening the object of compliance from item control to end user/user verification, and shifting compliance from post-review to ongoing monitoring throughout the entire process. This framework relies upon penetrating due diligence during the admission phase, embedding compliance nodes in the circulation phase, and tracing the flow of end processes. Operational guidelines, collaborative management entities and information tracing systems provide operational support for penetrating compliance.

Comparing Chinese and Central and Eastern European Dragon Cultures: Toward the International Communication of Chinese Loong Culture
Addressing the long-standing misreading of Chinese Loong in Western countries as a result of its translation as dragon, this study adopts symbolic interactionism as its theoretical framework and employs a questionnaire survey, using Romania as a representative case of Central and Eastern Europe, to examine the cultural differences between Chinese and Central and Eastern European traditions and their implications for the international communication of Chinese Loong culture. The findings show that Chinese participants hold significantly more positive perceptions of Chinese Loong than do Central and Eastern European participants; the negative impressions associated with local dragon traditions among Central and Eastern European respondents tend to transfer to their evaluations of Chinese Loong; and acceptance of the term Loong and intercultural empathy both demonstrate a robust positive correlation with positive perceptions of Chinese Loong, making them key predictors of positive cross-cultural perceptions. On this basis, the study proposes strategies, including the gradual promotion of Loong, respect for cultural differences, and multi-channel digital communication, with the aim of shifting the communication of Chinese Loong culture in Central and Eastern Europe from misreading to empathy.

Examining the WTO Compliance of Subsidy Measures in the US and EU Chip Acts and China’s Strategic Responses
In recent years, the United States and the European Union have introduced a series of chip-related legislative measures characterized by large-scale subsidies and restrictive provisions, significantly affecting the structure of the global semiconductor industry and raising concerns regarding their consistency with WTO rules. Using normative analysis and comparative research methods, this paper evaluates the legality of these measures under the “three-step” framework of the Agreement on Subsidies and Countervailing Measures (SCM Agreement). The analysis shows that the subsidies adopted by the US and the EU satisfy the criteria for subsidies under the SCM Agreement, exhibit both de jure and de facto specificity, and have caused “serious prejudice” to China’s semiconductor industry. In addition, the “guardrail clauses,” which impose differentiated treatment based on investment destination, are inconsistent with the GATT principles of most-favored-nation treatment and national treatment. The paper further argues that the defenses based on GATT Articles XXI and XXIV invoked by the US and the EU are unlikely to be persuasive under the current WTO framework. Comparative analysis indicates that US legislation reflects a strategy of broad-based containment, whereas the EU adopts a more selective and preventive approach, with clear differences in policy objectives, subsidy structures, and restrictive measures. On this basis, the paper proposes differentiated response strategies, including litigation-oriented countermeasures toward the US and rule-based coordination with the EU. It also outlines a broader framework for safeguarding China’s legitimate interests through four dimensions: more targeted litigation strategies, improvements in domestic legal countermeasures, compliance-oriented industrial subsidy policies, and participation in the restructuring of global trade rules.

Generative AI and the Global Communication of Chinese Cultural Short Videos
With the rapid development of digital media and artificial intelligence, short videos have become an important medium for the global communication of Chinese culture. Compared with traditional forms of international communication, short videos are more visual, interactive, emotional, and platform-oriented, which makes them suitable for cross-cultural communication in the mobile media era. Meanwhile, generative artificial intelligence has begun to reshape the production, translation, editing, distribution, and evaluation of cultural content. This paper focuses on the global communication of Chinese cultural short videos and explores how generative AI empowers cultural content creation, cross-cultural adaptation, communication efficiency, and cultural value transmission. It argues that generative AI can lower the threshold of cultural content production, enrich multimodal expression, improve multilingual communication, and expand the international reach of Chinese cultural narratives. However, AI-driven cultural communication also faces challenges such as content homogenization, cultural misunderstanding, algorithmic bias, copyright uncertainty, and the weakening of cultural authenticity. Therefore, the future development of Chinese cultural short videos should not rely on technological efficiency alone. It should combine technological innovation with cultural accuracy, localized expression, human review, ethical governance, and international cooperation, so as to enhance the global communication power and cultural influence of Chinese culture in the digital intelligence era.

Attachment Orientations among Lesbian/Bisexual Women and Gay/Bisexual Men in Mainland China: A Systematic Review
Attachment theory has been widely applied to research on interpersonal relationships and emotional development. In recent decades, increasing attention has been paid to attachment orientations among sexual minority populations, particularly lesbian, gay, and bisexual individuals. However, most existing studies have been conducted in Western societies (e.g., North America and Europe), while research focusing on Mainland China remains limited. The present systematic review examines existing literature on attachment orientations among sexual minorities in Mainland China, with particular attention to potential differences between lesbian/bisexual women and gay/bisexual men. A total of 32 studies were included in the review, encompassing theoretical discussions, Western empirical studies, and cultural analyses, as no direct empirical research on attachment orientations among sexual minorities in Mainland China was identified. The reviewed literature indicates that attachment insecurity among sexual minorities may be associated with minority stress, identity concealment, family expectations, and cultural norms surrounding marriage and filial obligation. Existing research on Mainland China remains heavily concentrated on public health issues and gay male populations, while research on lesbian and bisexual women is significantly underrepresented. The review also suggests that Chinese cultural values may shape attachment experiences differently from Western contexts. This study identifies key research gaps and highlights the need for culturally sensitive and gender-inclusive research on attachment among sexual minorities in Mainland China.

A Review of the Mechanisms Underlying the Impact of Occupational Gender Stereotypes on Male Nursing Students’ Professional Identity
Purpose: This study systematically examines the psychological mechanisms through which occupational gender stereotypes influence male nursing students’ professional identity, providing a theoretical framework for future intervention studies and nursing education practice. Method: Using a literature review approach and drawing on a psychological perspective, this study synthesizes and analyzes domestic research literature on occupational gender stereotypes, professional identity, self-efficacy, attribution styles, coping strategies, social support, and psychological resilience. Result: Gender stereotypes in the nursing profession do not directly determine male nursing students’ professional identity; rather, they exert a negative influence through multiple psychological pathways: they reduce self-efficacy by undermining the processes of success and failure experiences, vicarious experiences, verbal persuasion, and emotional arousal; they induce negative attribution styles that attribute failure to one’s own gender traits; they prompt individuals to adopt negative coping strategies such as self-blame, fantasy, and avoidance; and they lower individuals’ perceived levels of social support. At the same time, positive coping strategies and high psychological resilience can mitigate the negative effects of gender stereotypes to some extent. Conclusion: Occupational gender stereotypes are a complex psychological process. Nursing educators should focus on their underlying psychological mechanisms and enhance male nursing students’ professional identity by boosting their self-efficacy, training them in positive attributions and coping strategies, and strengthening their social support and psychological resilience.

International Commercial Arbitration in the Digital Era: Balancing Efficiency and Compliance in Online Arbitration
In the post-epidemic era, the normalization of remote working has accelerated the process of online and offline integration and development of international commercial arbitration. This article focuses on the application of online arbitration in the field of international commercial arbitration. It aims to explore how to effectively give full play to its efficiency advantages and avoid compliance risks to promote the in-depth application of online arbitration. By combining the development process of online arbitration, it can be seen that it has gradually changed from a simple online conference tool to a comprehensive dispute settlement platform. Efficiency improvement and cost reduction are its core advantages. However, online arbitration also faces significant compliance risks. It mainly includes procedural justice questions raised by the digital environment and the difficulties in the execution of rulings caused by differences in the degree of acceptance in different jurisdictions. In response to this, China applies rule innovation, technology support and other models, walking out on a unique balanced road. Finally, the article puts forward the three-dimensional proposal of establishing unified standards at the transnational level, promoting the transnational application of blockchain and artificial intelligence technology, and keeping the ethical bottom line of technology application. Hope to build an efficient, fast, stable and reliable online arbitration global ecology.

Criminal Law Characterization of Virtual Currency in the Crime of Illegally Taking Deposits from the Public: Challenges and Solutions
This paper explores the primary questions regarding whether virtual currency can be interpreted as “funds” in the crime of illegally taking deposit from the public. The analysis identifies a current dilemma of interpretation. An expansive interpretation would contravene the principle of legality and would result in creating a tendency toward overbroad offenses; while a strict adherence to the ordinary meaning would preclude the classification of the absorption of virtual currency as the illegal appropriation of funds, and thus would undermine the regulatory purpose of the statute. Thus, this paper provides for a typological analytical framework. First, payment and settlement–oriented virtual currencies, which possess quasi-monetary characteristics, can be recognized as “funds.” Second, although mainstream cryptocurrencies can be considered as a disguised form of deposit-taking through a functionalist interpretation. Third, value-deficient virtual currencies lack the nature of funds and should not be subsumed under this offense, instead, they may be regulated under other criminal charges. On this basis, and in light of two distinct behavioral patterns, the paper advances differentiated solutions. It argues that, while adhering to the principle of legality, a typologically restrictive approach should be employed to achieve greater precision in criminal law intervention, thereby providing a reference for criminal justice in the era of digital finance.

Post-Traumatic Growth Perspective: The Reshaping Effect of Childhood-Parental Relationships on Women's Mate Selection Values
Childhood parental relationship trauma has a profound effect on women's mate selection values. From the perspective of positive psychology, post-traumatic growth (PTG) provides the possibility for the reshaping of these values. This study aims to explore the mechanism through which such trauma influences women’s mate selection values via PTG, providing a basis for psychological guidance in marriage and dating. A stratified random sampling method was used to select 320 women aged 18–35. The Parental Relationship Rating Scale, Post-Traumatic Growth Inventory, and Female Mate Selection Values Scale were utilized for the investigation. Relationships between variables and mediation effects were tested using structural equation modelling (SEM) and the bootstrap method. On the basis of PTG theory, this study reveals transformation paths such as cognitive reconstruction and meaning-making and identifies the mediating role of PTG and the moderating role of social support, thereby breaking through the traditional research framework focused solely on negative impacts. The results indicate that childhood parental relationship trauma is significantly positively correlated with the reshaping of women's mate selection values, with PTG playing a mediating role (accounting for 58.3% of the total effect). Women with higher growth levels tend to select mates more rationally, prioritizing internal qualities and relationship maintenance. Individuals can achieve a positive transformation in mate selection values through PTG.

Research on the Influence of Youth's Use of Digital Beautification Technology on Their Cognition of Real Self Image
With the widespread use of social media and the continuous progress of digital beautification technology, more and more young people will use beautification technology to publish photos after drawing on social platforms. After browsing a large number of beautified photos, users will experience self-objectification and upward social comparison behavior. This paper uses the method of literature review to study whether the use of digital beautification technology will have a negative impact on self-image and appearance anxiety. The study found that the long-term use of digital beautification technology will cause individuals' dissatisfaction or even resistance to the real self-image. There was a U-shaped linear relationship between the use of digital beautification technology and appearance anxiety. That is to say, the moderate use of beautification technology is conducive to relieving appearance anxiety; the high frequency use of beautification technology will greatly increase appearance anxiety and social anxiety. Therefore, young people should appropriately use beautification technology and establish correct aesthetic standards in the future.

The Formation Mechanism of Involution in Chinese Family Education from the Perspective of Psychology
In recent years, the phenomenon of "educational involution" has become increasingly prominent in the context of Chinese family education, imposing significant pressure on families and students. This study employs a small-sample questionnaire survey as empirical evidence to validate the theoretical framework. By integrating multidisciplinary research on the causes of educational involution and synthesizing various psychological concepts, the study identifies six primary psychological mechanisms underlying the involution in family education: the single-plank bridge effect, fear of falling behind, face culture, defensive pessimism, the prisoner's dilemma, and the intergenerational projection of love. Based on these findings, the study constructs a theoretical framework to explain the causes of involution in Chinese family education and proposes corresponding recommendations for improvement.

Synergistic Dietary Regulation and Psychological Intervention for Emotional Eating in Children and Adolescents
Childhood and adolescent obesity has become a serious public health problem, showing a rapid increase and a trend towards younger onset. Obesity is closely related to emotional eating (EE), yet there is a lack of integrated prevention and control research targeting this issue. Current research largely treats EE as a co-occurring behavior of obesity, with insufficient discussion on collaborative prevention and control in children and adolescents, and a lack of systematic pathway construction for the combined application of dietary and psychological interventions. This paper, based on the "physiological-psychological-social" ecosystem theory, takes EE as the core entry point to analyze its physiological mechanism of association with obesity, reviews the research progress of dietary regulation and psychological interventions such as cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness intervention, and constructs an integrated obesity prevention and control pathway that combines precise dietary regulation with psychological intervention at the family, school, and community levels. This study provides a theoretical and practical basis for improving the effectiveness of childhood and adolescent obesity prevention and control and perfecting the multi-party collaborative system, and also provides a new overall approach for related prevention and control work. Future research still needs to conduct large-scale longitudinal studies, combined with digital technology and policy support, to achieve personalized and precise management of EE and obesity in children and adolescents, while promoting the further implementation of the multi-party collaborative prevention and control system.

Research on the Ideological Functions and Implementation Paths of Education on the Sense of Community for the Chinese Nation
In the critical period characterized by “unseen changes in a century” and the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, national identity and ideological security face diverse challenges from both domestic and international fronts. Existing literature exhibits certain limitations on this issue, particularly regarding theoretical gaps in the construction and education of the sense of community for the Chinese nation. This paper analyzes the evolutionary process of the “sense of community,” integrates it with Marxist ethnic theory, and dissects the triple core functions of this educational framework. Furthermore, it proposes practical paths for improvement and provides an outlook for future development. The study argues that education on the sense of community for the Chinese nation is a strategic ideological project that carries multiple formative functions—political, historical, and value-based. It plays a vital role in dismantling erroneous Western viewpoints, fostering a cohesive collective consciousness, and promoting national rejuvenation. In view of this, this research aims to deepen the understanding of the “Sinicization and Modernization of Marxist Ethnic Theory” and provide a reference framework for the functional analysis of ideology.

A Study on the Acceptance and Trust of AIGC-Generated News
In the era of intelligent media, the issues of acceptance and trust in AIGC-generated news content have become a topic of significant academic interest. Therefore, this paper conducts a multilevel examination of issues related to AI-generated news; from the audience’s perspective, a survey was conducted among 452 domestic users. This study employed a questionnaire and descriptive statistics for empirical analysis and revealed that personal characteristics such as age, educational background, and frequency of exposure significantly and positively affected audience acceptance and trust. More notably, this study identified the key factors for enhancing public trust: content authenticity and technological maturity. It also highlighted that trust served as a crucial mediating variable in the relationship between AIGC-generated news and its audience; the lack of emotional resonance and authenticity in AI news was a primary concern for the public. Consequently, this research provided valuable insights for media organizations seeking to optimize industry standards for AIGC news production.

The Impact of Artificial Intelligence on Corporate Resilience: Evidence from A-Share Listed Companies
With the rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) technology, firms’ capacity to adapt to and recover from external shocks has been significantly enhanced. Using data from A-share listed companies, this study examines the impact of AI on corporate resilience through regression analysis, robustness tests, and heterogeneity analysis. The empirical results reveal a U-shaped relationship between AI and corporate resilience. Specifically, in the initial stage, AI may pose adaptive challenges to firms; however, as the technology gradually matures, its positive effect on enhancing corporate resilience becomes increasingly significant. In addition, AI indirectly improves corporate resilience by optimizing the talent chain, innovation chain, and supply chain. Further heterogeneity analysis shows that the resilience-enhancing effects of AI differ significantly across firms with different industry affiliations, regional locations, and ownership structures. This study provides both theoretical support and practical implications for firms seeking to balance the risks and opportunities associated with AI during digital transformation.

International Communication Strategies and Effects of Chinese Brands’ Public Service Advertisements on Overseas Social Media: A Case Study of Huawei’s “Seeds for the Future” Program
This study takes the overseas dissemination of Huawei’s “Seeds for the Future” program on YouTube as a case to explore the communication strategies and effects of Chinese brands’ public service advertisements abroad. Through content analysis, it finds that the advertisements deeply integrate the brand into the universal values of educational empowerment and technological inclusiveness by employing a complete “Hero’s Journey” narrative, emotionally charged visual presentation, and subtle brand integration. A questionnaire survey (N=130) shows that the advertisements significantly enhanced overseas audiences’ brand favorability and trust, while effectively stimulating emotional resonance and value identification. This research reveals an effective path for Chinese brands to build brand identification in overseas markets through value resonance.

The Competitiveness Transformation Path of Emotional Consumption of the Silver-haired Group and Corporate ESG Practices in the Digital Era: An Exploratory Case Study Based on Company
Against the dual background of deepening population aging and rapid popularization of digital consumption in China, the emotional needs of the silver-haired group have become a core force influencing consumption behavior and corporate strategic choices. Existing studies lack systematic micro-mechanism explanations for the emotional demand structure of the elderly in digital consumption, the response mechanism of corporate ESG practices to emotional needs, and the internal path of transforming social value into brand competitiveness. This study takes company's silver-haired services as the research object, using multi-source data from 2020 to 2024 and grounded theory for analysis. The results show that the elderly have four core emotional rigid demands: security, dignity, companionship, and communication. company has formed a three-in-one ESG practice system, and realized brand competitiveness improvement through a chain transmission mechanism of individual trust, intergenerational word-of-mouth, and social reputation. This study constructs a theoretical model, revealing the micro transmission path of ESG value transformation.

The Evolution of Bai Liusu’s Female Subject Consciousness: Gender and Identity Construction in “Love in a Fallen City”
Using Simone de Beauvoir’s theory of female identity in The Second Sex as the core perspective, combined with research methods from psychology and sociology, this paper analyzes the evolution of Bai Liusu’s female subject consciousness in Love in a Fallen City—from her status as the “Other” under traditional patriarchal discipline to her gradual awakening and reconstruction of self amid gender power struggles and historical upheavals. This study particularly focuses on Bai Liusu’s persistent focus on “self-preservation” within relationships, and how she uses marriage, a seemingly traditional vehicle, to actually confirm her sense of self-worth and existence. This process is less a pure act of “female liberation” and more an individual’s attempt to construct a low-energy, sustainable emotional self-preservation system within a limited space of existence—she needs to be needed, but this need ultimately serves the confirmation of her own subjectivity.

The Active Practice of Rural Creativity: Exploration of Multi-dimensional Paths of Art Intervention in Rural Revitalization
In the context of rural revitalization, localized artistic practices have emerged as pivotal vehicles for activating rural resources and reshaping cultural identity. In this study, the “Bao Xiaoguang’s Earthy Three Kingdoms” video series and the Tiananmen-themed mural installation in Henan village are used as case studies, and how local communities transform cultural symbols into endogenous drivers for rural revitalization through artistic design initiatives is explored. The research demonstrates that such practices not only redefine rural visual landscapes but also establish multidimensional pathways for cultural reproduction, economic empowerment, and social cohesion through media dissemination, emotional engagement, and community participation. Moving beyond the conventional “art in rural areas” narrative, this study emphasizes the creative agency of local stakeholders, providing academic insights with both theoretical depth and practical implications for rural revitalization efforts.

Longmen Hao Old Street Historical and Cultural Scenic Area: One of the Twelve Scenic Spots of Ba-Yu A Study on the Path to Balancing Cultural Heritage Preservation and Commercial Development
Study on the Balancing Path between Cultural Heritage and Commercial Development in the Longmenhao Old Street Historical and Cultural Scenic Area of Bayu Twelve Scenes. Against the backdrop of rapid tourism development in the new era, historical and cultural scenic areas face deep-seated contradictions between cultural heritage preservation and commercial development. Taking Chongqing’s Longmenhao Old Street as a case study, this research employs questionnaire surveys, in-depth interviews, and literature analysis to systematically investigate the marginalization of cultural value in the process of commercialization. The findings reveal that 73% of tourists visit for cultural value, yet over half believe that cultural promotion falls short of expectations, indicating a prevalent “commerce over culture” imbalance. This contradiction stems from three dimensions: short-term interest orientation in decision-making logic, demand misjudgment at the execution level, and standardized supply in supply-demand matching. The study further uncovers multiple conflicts between commercialization and cultural heritage in terms of goal logic, value orientation, and spatial resource allocation. Based on these findings, this paper proposes balancing paths including optimizing cultural presentation methods, establishing multi-stakeholder collaborative governance mechanisms, and implementing scientific intervention experiments, aiming to provide theoretical references and practical guidance for achieving dynamic balance between preservation and development in historical and cultural scenic areas.

The Formation Mechanism of Involution in Chinese Family Education from the Perspective of Comparison Psychology and Its Negative Impacts on Children’s Social Relationship Development
The involution phenomenon in the field of family education in contemporary China has become a widely discussed educational and social issue. It is characterized by low-level homogeneous competition, irrational investment in educational resources, and the widespread prevalence of parental educational anxiety. This study takes parental comparison psychology as the core entry point, employing literature research and logical analysis methods, and drawing on relevant theories such as social comparison theory, positive psychology, and developmental psychology. It analyzes the formation mechanism by which comparison psychology drives the involution of family education and explores the multiple adverse effects of the resulting over-parenting behaviors on the establishment and development of children’s subsequent social relationships. The study finds that parental comparison psychology is the core psychological driver of involution in family education. It is jointly propelled by multiple factors at the social-cultural, family structural, individual cognitive, and school behavioral levels. The high-expectation, high-investment, and high-anxiety parenting model it triggers hinders the healthy development of children’s social relationships in terms of self-cognition, social skills, and mental health. Based on these findings, this study proposes preliminary coping strategies from the three levels of society, family, and school, aiming to provide theoretical references and practical insights for alleviating parental comparison psychology, breaking the involution of family education, and promoting children’s social development.

Job Search Game Under an Algorithmic Black Box: Generation of Group Biases in Recruitment Platforms and Individual Adaptation Strategies
With the popularization of digital recruitment platforms in the era of artificial intelligence, algorithmic screening has become a core and indispensable component of talent matching in the modern labor market. However, inherent algorithmic opacity and historical data biases tend to give rise to obvious group prejudices based on gender, educational background, age, and regional origin, thereby further exacerbating the structural inequalities that exist in the current employment market. Existing academic research focuses primarily on the macrolevel governance paths of algorithmic discrimination, with relatively insufficient in-depth exploration of the microlevel game logic of job seekers and the construction of systematic adaptation strategies. In this paper, mainstream recruitment algorithms are taken as the core research object; the multidimensional specific manifestations and internal generation mechanisms of group prejudices in algorithm screening are systematically investigated; and the complex interactive relationships among job seekers, recruitment platforms, and enterprises as well as realistic individual predicaments are analysed on the basis of the classic theory of incomplete information games, and a scientific four-in-one adaptation strategy system encompassing resume optimization, channel selection, proactive communication, and ability enhancement is constructed. An empirical study revealed that active and targeted individual adaptation can effectively avoid the negative impact of algorithmic bias and significantly improve the overall job search success rates of different groups while providing important microlevel references for platform algorithm optimization and the improvement of relevant regulatory policies. It holds important practical significance for promoting the coordinated and sustainable development of efficiency and fairness in the field of digital recruitment in China.

Review of the WTO Compliance of Subsidy Measures in the U.S. and EU Chip Acts and China’s Countermeasure Strategies
Since 2022, the United States has enacted the CHIPS and Science Act, and the European Union has adopted the European Chips Act. Both have implemented massive fiscal subsidies, tax incentives, and other support measures to expand domestic semiconductor manufacturing capacity, while also incorporating so-called “guardrail clauses” that restrict investment in China. Taking WTO rules as the analytical framework, this paper systematically examines the WTO compliance of these measures based on the Agreement on Subsidies and Countervailing Measures (SCM Agreement) and the non-discrimination principles under GATT 1994. On this basis, the paper proposes that China should establish a multi-dimensional response system to address the impact of unilateralism on the global semiconductor industry chain and the multilateral trading system.

Art Intervention and Rural Population Mobility: Research on Hongjiang Art Village in Guizhou
Since the 21st century, with the acceleration of urbanization, the transformation of rural areas to postproductivism, and the prospect of rural revitalization, art intervention has become important for reshaping rural space and adjusting the structure of the rural population. Taking Hongjiang International Art Village in Guizhou as a typical case, this paper performs a systematic analysis of art intervention and rural population flow from three perspectives—space production, field reconstruction and life-world change—by introducing Lefebvre’s space production theory, Bourdieu’s field theory and the life-world perspective. It is concluded that there is a two-way system mechanism between art intervention and rural population flow. Specifically, art intervention creates a new rural space form through physical space reconstruction, symbolic space reconstruction and social space reorganization. In this space, foreign artists and local villagers are in different field positions, and they take advantage of capital conversion to achieve limited but real social integration by means of habitus adjustment. More importantly, art intervention has essentially changed the life world of aborigines and formed a new local ballet of moving, staying and meeting. The actual effect of art’s mediation of population mobility depends on the coupling of the three mechanisms of spatial openness, field autonomy and life-world continuity. Therefore, this paper provides a complete and solid theoretical framework for art-driven rural transformation, which has positive implications for rural revitalization policy.

Research on Art and Design-Driven Sustainable and Endogenous Rural Development
The sustainability of rural revitalization has become among the most important socioeconomic development strategies in China. The research questions here revolve around the essence of art and design, positioning endogenous development dynamics in rural settings involving the exploration of the mechanisms of profound interaction and long-term change by art and design in rural regeneration. At present, rural revitalization strategies place more emphasis on immediate financial benefits without considering endogenous forces in the long term. This leads to a more urgent issue: how villages maintain and extend the development effects of external artists once they have gone when early finances are drained away. In accordance with case studies of artistic rural development at Deqing, Zhejiang, and Qingtian, this paper develops a four-dimensional analytical model: Cultural Capital Activation - Subject Capacity Reconstruction - Industrial Ecosystem Construction - Institutional Environment Reinvention. This framework shows how art and design work to bring about endogenous rural development through the mechanisms of operational or core challenges and optimal ways of operation. As the research suggests, the successful implementation of art-based rural development depends on the successful transformation of cultural capital and the significant rebuilding of the agency of village dwellers, which requires the introduction of a multilayered assessment system at the economic, social, cultural, and environmental levels. The collaboration with multiple sectors and the development led by the community should become the focus of future research. By building a strong synergy paradigm, where the people of the village are the decision makers and external forces are the facilitators, it is possible to actually incorporate art design into the rural fabric. This will ease the paradigm change so that it does not have to intervene but rather be driven by internal forces that guarantee long-term mechanisms and sustainable development toward rural revitalization in China.
