Military strategic guidance is a scientific summary and theoretical generalization of the law of war guidance, a concentrated expression of a country’s military policy and strategic intention, a general policy and principle for the army to fulfill its mission and task, and plays a leading role in army building, reform and preparations for military struggle. Military strategic guidance is related to the future of the country, the destiny of the nation and the development of the army, and its vitality lies in changing with the times and responding to the situation; It lies in innovation and development, and grasping the opportunities to win.

In the Party’s Report to the 20th CPC National Congress, President Xi clearly pointed out that military strategic guidance should be innovated. At present, the rise of new science and technology with the main characteristics of "intelligence, ubiquity and green" is promoting the rapid evolution of war form to information intelligence. We must understand the importance and urgency of innovating and developing military strategic guidance from the height of history and times, fully implement the supreme leader’s thought of strengthening the army, implement the military strategic policy of the new era, deeply understand and grasp the inherent requirements of innovating military strategic guidance, and promote the coordination of military strategic guidance innovation with national security needs, consistent with the information-based intelligent war.

Innovating the political nature of military strategic guidance

War is the continuation of politics, and any military strategy is essentially a political choice and a manifestation of political will. To plan and direct war, we must deeply understand the political nature of war, insist that military should obey politics and strategy should obey politics, and think about war from a political perspective: the nature of strategy is determined by politics, its objectives are endowed by politics, and its formulation, implementation and adjustment are dominated by politics. Our army is a people’s army under the absolute leadership of the Party and an armed group that carries out the political tasks of the Party. The military strategy must be planned and guided with the Party’s banner as the banner, the Party’s direction as the direction and the Party’s will as the will.

To innovate military strategic guidance, we must profoundly understand and grasp the strategic intentions of the CPC Central Committee, the Central Military Commission and President Xi, obey and serve political requirements, plan military strategy under the overall political situation, resolutely safeguard the party’s leadership and the national political system, and resolutely obey the command of the CPC Central Committee, the Central Military Commission and President Xi at all times and under all circumstances.

Innovating the overall situation of military strategic guidance

Strategy is the planning and guidance for the overall and long-term issues. Military strategic guidance is related to national security, national rejuvenation and the long-term development of the army. It is at the top of the military field and the highest decision on military issues. Its overall situation is reflected in taking into account all aspects, parts and stages of war and non-war military operations, national defense and army building, and preparations for military struggle from a political and strategic perspective, and playing an overall and comprehensive planning and guiding role, which has a commanding role in army building, reform and preparations for military struggle.

To innovate military strategic guidance, we must firmly grasp the party’s central task of "uniting and leading the people of all ethnic groups in China to build a socialist modernization power in an all-round way, realizing the goal of the second century, and comprehensively promoting the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation with Chinese modernization", adhere to the overall international strategic situation and the overall national development situation, adhere to the overall national security concept, stand at the strategic and overall height, focus on obeying and serving the interests of safeguarding national sovereignty, security and development, and persist in the struggle in political, economic, diplomatic and military fields organically.

The antagonism of innovating military strategic guidance

War is the highest form to solve the contradictions and struggles between countries, nations and political groups. As a military strategy that guides the overall situation of the war, it reflects the military relationship of national contradiction or class contradiction, which is produced in the contradiction confrontation and the product of combining with the practice of military struggle under certain historical conditions, and plays a theoretical guiding role in the actual military struggle. Obviously, any military strategy is put forward for specific threats, challenges and opponents. Making a military strategy is not aimless and marginal on paper. Strategic planning and guidance always aim at the main threats, strategic opponents and main combat targets, and win by using military power and means around the struggles and games between the two sides.

To innovate military strategic guidance, we should pay attention to the use of military force and military means to create a favorable strategic situation, emphasize the passive response to threats to the active design of wars, and emphasize that according to the strategic needs of national security, we should accurately grasp the development trend of war forms, predict the nature, direction and degree of potential strategic opponents and targets, the possible timing, style, direction, scale, process and outcome of wars, and look forward to where to fight, who to fight and what to fight, with me as the main task.

Innovating the times of military strategic guidance

An era has its basic characteristics, and an era has its strategic proposition. Innovative military strategic guidance should answer the questions of the times, reflect the new requirements of the war form, and make the development of military strategic thinking resonate with the world at the same frequency, so as not to prepare for the next war according to the way of the last war. Under different times and historical conditions, the connotation of strategic guidance often changes with the changes of strategic opponents, which has obvious characteristics of the times. At present, changes in the world, times and history are unfolding in an unprecedented way. On the one hand, the historical trend of peace, development, cooperation and win-win is unstoppable, and the aspirations of the people and the general trend determine that the future of mankind will be bright after all. On the other hand, the hegemonic bullying behaviors, such as bullying, usurpation and zero-sum game, are extremely harmful, and the peace deficit, development deficit, security deficit and governance deficit are aggravated, and human society is facing unprecedented challenges.

To innovate military strategic guidance, we must firmly grasp the strategic requirement of "realizing the goal of building the army for a hundred years as scheduled and accelerating the building of the people’s army into a world-class army", understand and plan the war issue with the big goal of building a socialist modern country in an all-round way and realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, resolutely safeguard national sovereignty, unity and territorial integrity, provide strategic support for realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, and make greater contributions to world peace and development.

Innovating the scientificity of military strategic guidance

"Science and technology are the most active and revolutionary factors in military development, and every major scientific and technological progress and innovation will lead to profound changes in the form and mode of warfare." Innovative military strategy should be coordinated with the development of science and technology, especially the development of military science and technology. Up to now, the war form of human society has experienced four basic stages of development: cold weapons, hot weapons, mechanization and informationization. The military strategic guidance is basically consistent with the scientific and technological level at that time, and follows the objective reality of war and the law of war guidance under this form. To plan and guide the war and understand the winning mechanism of the war, we should pay close attention to the influence of science and technology on the war. At present, with the great breakthrough of artificial intelligence technology and the accelerated infiltration and application in the military field, the trend of war form developing in the direction of intelligence is increasingly obvious.

To innovate military strategic guidance, we should fully predict the development trend of military science and technology, fully consider the influence of science and technology on future wars, accurately grasp the development trend of war forms, actively explore the characteristics and laws of future wars, explore new mechanisms for winning wars, increase the scientific and technological content in military strategic guidance, provide objective basis and demand for formulating, adjusting and implementing strategies, better promote national defense and army building, and consolidate the preparation foundation for military struggle.

The Inheritance of Innovative Military Strategic Guidance

The form of war is a process of gradual development and evolution, and the way to win is both innovative and inherited. This is not only the objective requirement of thinking change, but also a reasonable choice to win the future. Theoretical innovation can surpass predecessors only on the basis of inheriting predecessors. Innovative military strategic guidance is a new development on the basis of traditional theory, and it is a selective absorption of successful experience, rather than cutting off the "transcendence" of history. Our army has always attached great importance to absorbing nutrients from China’s excellent traditional culture and excellent traditional military thought, and accumulated valuable wealth such as active defense strategic thought and people’s war thought in the long-term revolutionary war and the practice of defending the motherland. Every innovation in military strategic guidance is the inheritance and development of our army’s active defensive strategic thinking and people’s war thinking.

To innovate military strategic guidance, we should expand the era connotation of active defense strategic thought, and expand the time and space scope, content system and means style of defense; We should grasp the historical mission and strategic objectives of the military strategic policy in the new era, innovate the strategic guidance of the people’s war in the new era, and realize "you hit you, I hit me" in the modern battlefield.

Innovating the Openness of Military Strategic Guidance

Advanced strategic thinking is the common wealth of mankind, and opening up can draw rich nutrition from the military strategic thinking of all countries in the world. The military theories of all countries in the world contain the deep thinking of all countries in the field of national security and military affairs, represent the unique understanding of all countries, and provide rich nourishment for the continuous innovation and development of military theories. Comrade Mao Zedong pointed out: "All military laws or military theories with principles are summaries of past war experiences made by predecessors or present people. The bloody lessons left by these past wars should be studied emphatically. "

To innovate military strategic guidance, we should inherit and develop the essence of our own military theory, learn from the outstanding achievements of today’s world military theory, learn from and absorb with a broad mind, learn from each other’s strengths and make it more systematic and inclusive. At the same time, we should persist in making the past serve the present and making foreign things serve China, treat them dialectically, and give them new vitality in combination with reality to promote the formation of innovative theoretical achievements.

Maserati is an Italian luxury car brand with a history of 100 years and a legendary story, which is famous for its sports and performance. Maserati’s models not only have unique design and exquisite craftsmanship, but also have strong power and excellent handling, providing drivers with extraordinary driving experience. Maserati is also constantly innovating and evolving, and has launched a number of amazing new models, showing its vision and courage for the future. Today, let’s learn about Maserati’s world and feel its charm and innovation.

Maserati’s symbol is a trident, which originated from the coat of arms of Bologna, Italy, and is also a symbol of Neptune in Roman mythology. Trident represents Maserati’s three core values: strength, elegance and challenge. Mario Maserati, one of the founders of Maserati, designed this logo in 1920, which has since become the soul and logo of Maserati brand.

Maserati’s history can be traced back to 1914, when four brothers Alfonso, Carlo, Ettore and Bindo Maserati founded the Society à Anonima Official Alfieri Maserati in Bologna, specializing in the production of racing cars and aircraft engines. They have deep enthusiasm and professional knowledge for automobile technology, and soon they have made brilliant achievements in the field of racing. In 1926, they launched the first racing car named after Maserati, and won the championship at Targa Florio. Since then, Maserati has made great achievements in various international competitions, including Indianapolis 500, Italian Grand Prix and 24 Hours of Le Mans.

Maserati not only has a long history and legendary stories, but also has the spirit of continuous innovation and evolution. Maserati creates boundless boundaries with fearlessness, creates the future with innovation, and goes to the world with passion, bringing more surprises and choices to drivers. In recent years, Maserati has launched a number of amazing new models, showing its vision and courage for the future.

In 2020, Maserati launched a brand-new super sports car MC20, which is the first super sports car since Maserati launched MC12 in 2010 and the first mid-engine sports car since Maserati launched Bora in 1968. The MC20 adopts a brand-new Nettuno engine, which is the first time Maserati has used a self-developed engine since 1937. It has 630 horsepower and a maximum torque of 730 Nm, and can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 2.9 seconds, with a top speed of 325 km/h. The MC20 also adopts lightweight carbon fiber body and aerodynamic design, as well as advanced electronic system and luxurious interior, providing drivers with the ultimate performance and comfort.

In 2021, Maserati launched a brand-new SUV model Grecale, which is the second SUV model after the launch of Levante in 2016, and it is also an important part of Maserati’s brand rejuvenation plan. Grecale is named after the strong wind blowing from the northeast Mediterranean, which symbolizes Maserati’s control of wind speed, direction and wind power. Grecale adopts a brand-new platform and powertrain, including hybrid and pure electric versions, with strong power and flexible handling, as well as elegant and sporty appearance and interior, providing drivers with diversified and personalized choices.

In 2022, Maserati will launch a brand-new convertible sports car MC20 Cielo, which is Maserati’s first convertible supercar and an extension of MC20 series. Cielo means "the sky", which means Maserati’s pursuit of freedom, infinity and challenge. The MC20 Cielo adopts retractable hardtop design, which can be opened and closed in 17 seconds without affecting the performance and space of the vehicle. The MC20 Cielo retains the powerful power and lightweight structure of the MC20 sports car, but also increases the fun and enjoyment brought by the convertible.

Maserati not only provides a variety of excellent models, but also provides a personalized customization project Fuoriserie, so that every customer can create their own unique Maserati according to their own preferences and needs. Fuoriserie means "customized car", which is Maserati’s respect and tribute to customers, and also Maserati’s confidence and challenge to itself. Fuoriserie customization project provides three themes: Corse, Unica and Futura, which respectively represent racing, uniqueness and future, allowing customers to choose and combine in appearance, interior, accessories and details to create their own style and attitude.

The theme of Corse is inspired by Maserati’s racing tradition, which provides elements of sports and passion, such as carbon fiber, aluminum alloy and racing painting, so that customers can experience Maserati’s speed and handling.

Unica theme is inspired by Maserati’s elegance and fashion, providing unique and exquisite elements, such as precious leather, wood, jewelry, etc., so that customers can experience Maserati’s taste and comfort.

Together, they witnessed the film’s first sound to the world.

For the first time, China paid attention to the global vision of human destiny and told the real power.

Screenwriter Lei Jianjun speaks.

　 　 The 3-minute preview of the international version of Common Destiny kicked off the promotion meeting. The trailer makes the audience feel a journey of exploration across all corners of the world, following the footsteps of time from East Africa, the birthplace of human beings, to Europe, from Xinjiang, China to Central Asia, and from the polar regions to South America. Beautiful pictures and real and simple characters left a deep impression on the guests. This notice is similar to the poster of "Silk Road" in Common Destiny. This poster combines China culture with contemporary design, and imagines the Silk Road on land and the Silk Road on the sea in the form of silk and ink. The strong Chinese style shines everywhere in Venice Film Festival, which makes the guests stop to take photos as a souvenir, and at the same time expresses great expectations for this film.

　 　 Mr. Guy Hibert, a famous British screenwriter and winner of four British Academy Awards, is the chief recommender, and he is also one of the screenwriters of this film. Mr. Guy Hibert recalled the original intention of the film in interesting language. He believes that "this film has made us see hope, as if it had brought a ray of light to the unsettled world." Besides being curious about the works, the guests at the scene also felt the tenacity and sincerity of China filmmakers.

　 　 Subsequently, the producer also exposed the highlights of three stories in the film for the first time: a Kenyan girl who loves painting decided to go to Nairobi alone in order to find a painting teacher, regardless of her family’s hair, and finally let her find a teacher and continue her painting dream by taking the Munne Railway jointly built by China and Nairobi. An old Spanish papermaking man went to China to find the birthplace of papermaking in the face of the disappearing handicraft papermaking. After seeing the conflict and inheritance of papermaking in Jingxian County, China, the old man decided to return to Spain and accept young people who wanted to follow him to continue the glory of this handicraft. The truck driver in China took his niece, a young and rebellious young literary woman, back to the ancient Silk Road. At first, they didn’t like each other. On this Silk Road, they experienced various difficulties and dangers, and they were gradually influenced and changed by each other.

playwrightGuy Hibert speaks.

　 　 Many people at the scene were moved by this short clip, and they all said: This is a real and powerful story. Chinese’s way of reading the world is very clever, and his emotional resonance is better than a thousand words. Jacques Noel, a French international film publisher, said: "This is a film that belongs to all mankind. Its story direction and emotional expression make me feel very cordial, regardless of class, region or race. This is a problem that we human beings have to face together today, and how we will go to tomorrow together."　

Breaking barriers, promoting multicultural integration, sharing common feelings and dreams and creating Common Destiny

Martin Campbell speaks.

　 　 A heavyweight guest was also invited to the promotion meeting — — World famous director martin campbell. Mr Martin is the most successful director in the "007" series, and his films are popular all over the world. Mr. Martin said, "My films are for people all over the world to enjoy, and they are also shot all over the world. Many of them are about collisions and conflicts. Today, I saw a film that is also appreciated by the world, but it is about cooperation between different civilizations. They are the stories of ordinary people, who began to work hard to realize what they have always dreamed of doing. This film is inspiring and a worldwide theme, which will attract audiences all over the world. "

　 　 As one of the screenwriters of this film, Lei Jianjun, a professor at Tsinghua University School of Journalism and Communication, also interpreted this film from the perspective of scholars. "Today, the development of science and technology and society makes people more closely compared with any time, and at the same time, we are facing more and more serious problems than any time. Therefore, we make such a documentary "Common Destiny", so that everyone can perceive the common feelings and dreams of human beings through the lives of ordinary people. These real people tell us with their real stories that human society with diverse cultures has both common feelings and common destiny, and cooperation is our future. "　

Spanish papermaking old man speaks

　 　 Jiangtao Qu, a representative of the veteran documentary director group who won the Oscar documentary award, the Silk Road Film Festival documentary award and the Emmy award, told the story about the hardships in the creative process: a team of 300 people traveled 300,000 kilometers in two years, and experienced the heat, cold, disease, hunger, language, war and even ethnic differences. However, the entire creative team did not give up and still insisted on finding the most authentic voice in the world. At the promotion meeting, the two protagonists in the film: the Spanish paper-making old man and the rebellious literary young woman on the Silk Road were invited to the scene to share the stories behind the scenes with the guests. Together with the organizers, the Spanish elderly prepared a beautiful scroll made of hand-made paper for each guest present, symbolizing the blending of Chinese and Western cultures. An opera derived from the story of a truck driver pushed the promotion meeting to a climax. This opera has always been a dream of young women in literature and art. On that day, the organizer fulfilled her wish for this persistent and lonely girl and moved the opera to the Venice promotion meeting. The story of the opera and the story of the movie have the same concept: the whale at 52 Hz is lonely, but there is always a person or a voice in the world that will resonate with you, perhaps separated from Wan Li, but they have the same mind and are linked by fate.

　 　 The guests at the scene were deeply moved by the real emotional expressions of the two protagonists, and the China filmmakers moved the audience in Venice in an ingenious way. Foreign media have said that "real power, feelings beyond national boundaries, and endless charm." Liu Jun, the representative of the producer and deputy general manager of Xindingming Film and Television Investment, said: "It is the common wish of me and my partners to tell the story of China to the world and tell the story of the world to China. This time, it is an attempt for us to cooperate with the world-class team. I hope this is a beginning and opens the way for our common future."

　 　 At the end of the promotion meeting, all the guests present collected the brochure of Common Film without exception, because they were all moved by a sentence in the brochure, which is also the slogan of the film: This is your story, my story, yesterday’s story, today’s story, and even more, our story of moving towards tomorrow together.　

Publishers at home and abroad gather together

　 　 The film "Common Destiny" was jointly produced by Silk Road Culture Communication and Xindingming Film and Television Investment, supported by Beijing Film and Television Publishing and Creation Fund, and coordinated by China Council. The creative team consists of senior film and documentary creators from China, the United States, Britain and other countries.
