Research on Analysis and Optimization Path of International Communication on Official Websites of Local Cities’ Culture and Tourism
type: item
description: With the digital globalization and China’s cultural “going out” strategy, the official website of urban culture and tourism, as the primary gateway of international communication and the key information source of tourism decision-making, have a direct impact on the attractiveness and competitiveness of cities on the global stage. Selecting Hengyang City and Sanya City as typical cases, through systematic multi-dimensional comparison, this paper reveals the differences in multilingual services and international communication efficiency of official websites of cultural tourism in different types of cities. It also analyzes the underlying reasons and puts forward the optimization path which is both universal and inclusive of differences.

The Practical Deviations, Theoretical Logic, and Practical Reconstruction of Peer Role Model Education and Academic Atmosphere Construction in Medical Schools
type: item
description: Fostering an academic atmosphere serves as the core vehicle through which medical schools implement the principle that “moral education is the fundamental task.” It is not only a key indicator of the quality of medical education but also an essential pathway for medical students to internalize the professional ethos of medicine at an early stage. Peer role model education fits well with young students’ ways of thinking and the practical features of medical education. It has special value in building a positive academic atmosphere. It has thus become a widely adopted strategy in medical schools. However, in practice, current peer education models generally exhibit real-world deviations such as narrative homogenization, process fragmentation, and mechanism unidirectionality, resulting in the insufficient release of their empowering effects. This paper systematically elucidates the internal logic of peer role model education in empowering academic atmosphere construction, and based on this, reconstructs a three-stage progressive practice system of “Inspiration, Action, and Leadership,” providing theoretical support and an operational framework for medical schools to establish regularized and long-term mechanisms for academic atmosphere construction.

Influential Factors and Generation Logic of Young People's Willingness to Have Children from The Perspective of Big Others
type: item
description: Against the background of the continuous evolution of low fertility, the willingness of young people to have children has shown a significant downward trend. The existing studies mostly explain from the economic cost and the institutional environment, but relatively ignore the construction process at the individual level. Based on this, this article introduces the theoretical perspective of "big others", understands the willingness to have children as a social action embedded in a specific symbolic order, and analyses the key influencing factors and their path in its formation from the three dimensions of norms, discourse and risk perception. The research adopts a qualitative method to carry out semi-structured interviews with urban youth, and analyse it in combination with relevant experience research. The study found that in contemporary society, the narrative of "ideal parents" is constantly strengthened through media discourse and peer comparison, raising the entry threshold of parents' roles; fertility is transformed into uncertain decision-making that requires comprehensive evaluation, and individuals tend to examine fertility behaviour with risk avoidance logic; on this basis, social norms through internal Chemical machine production is used for the main body, which promotes the individual to form "childhood anxiety" in comparison. Transforming fertility from the stage of life to a personal choice that needs to be repeatedly rationalised, thus inhibiting the willingness to have children.

Speech Act Realization of Invitations: A Pragmatic Analysis across Different Degrees of Social Distance
type: item
description: Invitation, as a fundamental speech act in social interaction, plays a crucial role in establishing and maintaining interpersonal relationships. This paper explores how relational closeness shapes the pragmatic realization of invitation speech act, drawing on frameworks such as Speech Act Theory, Face Theory, Politeness Principles and Hwang Kwang-kuo’ s Tripartite Framework of Renqing (Favor) and Mianzi (Face) . A Discourse Completion Task (DCT) was applied to participant across three relational ties (instrumental, mixed, and expressive ties) to analyze variations in invitation speech act. Results indicate that speakers adapt their pragmatic choices based on relational closeness. In less close contexts, invitations tend to be indirect and inquiry-based, emphasizing politeness and justification. As closeness increases, invitations become more direct and emotionally expressive, reflecting shared familiarity and reduced face-threatening concerns. Auxiliary strategies also shift according to relational dynamics. These findings highlight the differences interplay between degrees of social distance and pragmatic strategies, offering insights into the contextual adaptability of invitation speech act in everyday communication.

The Practical Challenges and Legal Approaches to Data Regulation in the Low-Altitude Economy
type: item
description: As a strategic emerging industry, the low-altitude economy is an important bridge between the digital economy and the real economy. The data in this field plays a key role in supporting both industrial development and safety supervision. However, research on low-altitude economic data regulation in China is still quite weak right now. We especially lack systematic studies that combine data elements with safety supervision.In practice, there are several obvious problems. For example, data standards are often fragmented, different regulatory departments don't coordinate well enough, and there is no systematic guarantee for data security and privacy protection. Traditional regulatory methods just can't adapt to the unique features of low-altitude data,it is three-dimensional, highly dynamic, and very sensitive. Because of this, the actual effect of supervision is seriously limited.To solve these problems, we can improve the system from three main aspects. First, we need to rely on data platforms to build a consensus on unified standards. Second, the government should take the lead to build a collaborative supervision mechanism involving multiple departments. Third, it is necessary to set up a national-level data security classification system, along with a flexible privacy protection mechanism based on different scenarios. By doing these things, we can further improve the data supervision system and provide a solid legal guarantee for the high-quality development of the low-altitude economy.

A Cognitive Study on the Meaning Construction Process of Novel Metaphors in Fortress Besieged from the Perspective of Conceptual Integration Theory
type: item
description: As an important literary device, metaphor plays a central role in the construction of novel meaning and aesthetic expression. Fortress Besieged is renowned for its concise metaphorical language and profound satirical style. However, existing research mostly focuses on the rhetorical and symbolic aspects, with insufficient exploration of the cognitive mechanisms behind it. This study, based on the integrated framework of Conceptual Metaphor Theory (CMT) and Conceptual Fusion Theory (CBT), analyzes the dynamic generation process of innovative metaphors in Fortress Besieged. The study employed the Metaphor Identification Program (MIP) to identify 37 metaphorical expressions and selected 12 representative cases for analysis. The focus was on examining cognitive mechanisms such as input space construction, cross-domain mapping, selective projection, and structural compression. The results show that the innovative metaphor in Fortress Besieged is not a static rhetoric, but a dynamically generated cognitive structure in the interaction of multiple psychological Spaces. Its satire and thematic significance gradually emerge through structural compression, character integration and narrative advancement. Based on this, this study proposes the concept of "dynamic integration network" to explain the expansion and reconfiguration mechanism of metaphorical meanings in the narrative. This study extends CBT to the field of literary metaphor analysis, providing a new interpretive approach for the interdisciplinary research of cognitive linguistics and literary criticism.

Judicial Dilemmas and Solutions in Product Liability Disputes Involving Medical Products for the Elderly
type: item
description: With the continuous ageing of China's population, more older people are needing to use medical products frequently and thus have risen the number of related liability disputes. In accordance with the provisions of Article 1223 of the Civil Code, this paper will conduct an empirical study on 237 judicial judgments in cases of medical product liability involving the elderly to explore the characteristics of these judgments systematically. In this paper, methods of description and correlation analysis, chi-square tests, and regression models will be employed to build a multi-dimensional system of variables that covers product attributes, context of medical application, participants in civil disputes, procedures, etc. Empirically, the nature of the expert opinion and the seriousness of the damage are the reasons why liability is imposed in this way. Specific to older people, there are other reasons why the products are not suitable or why the consent form is unclear; all of them have a relatively small negative impact. Multiple linear regression shows that the above factors are also positively correlated with the amount of compensation paid. To solve the problems of ambiguity in the identification of age-related factors, insufficient targeting of expert assessments, and inconsistency in compensation standards for judicial rulings, this paper proposes the following suggestions: increase the statutory weight of age factors in determining liability, standardise the special assessment and application rules for judicial appraisals involving older persons, and unify the quantitative standards for compensation discretion and interest balancing mechanisms.

The Shackles of “Things” and the Prison of Class: A Material Semiotic Interpretation of Marriage Transactions in Vanity Fair
type: item
description: William Makepeace Thackeray’s Vanity Fair is set in the Victorian era and vividly portrays a society obsessed with material desires. This article takes the perspective of material semiotics, selecting key material objects such as dowries and jewelry in the novel’s marriage transaction scenes for analysis, aiming to explore the class implications these material symbols carry and the hidden power struggles behind them. The study shows that these material symbols are not only indispensable bargaining chips in marriage transactions but also become class barriers and invisible shackles. The female characters in the novel make markedly different choices in this marriage game mediated by material wealth, yet their fates ultimately converge, as none manage to break free from these shackles, becoming victims of the class prison. So, this article attempts to uncover the hypocritical veil of the Victorian marriage system by interpreting the symbolic meanings of these material objects, thereby revealing the real survival difficulties and struggles of women at that time under the dual pressures of materialism and class.

Research on the Scenario Suspension Mechanism of Smart Community-Based Elderly Care: A Case Study of J Community in T City
type: item
description: In light of the ageing of the population and continuous progress in digital governance, intelligent community-based elderly care has been added to the reform plan for grassroots public services. However, in some communities, even after the construction of platforms, devices and service projects, problems such as low use, weak service coordination and inadequate collaborative governance persist. Drawing on embeddedness theory, this paper proposes the concept of "scenario suspension" and selects J Community in T City as the research subject. Three typical cases of smart elderly care are selected: health management, meal assistance and voluntary mutual aid, and their corresponding de-embedding phenomena in routine operation after system construction are analysed. Based on the above study, the operational difficulties of smart elderly care in J Community are mainly due to technology failures, service disruptions and governance deficiencies. Smart facilities have been brought into the community, but they have not yet been stably integrated into the health management system; although the meal-assistance platform can perform online record-keeping and settlement, offline delivery, feedback and improvement mechanisms are still lacking; and while the voluntary mutual-help platform has formed a basic process, community trust, participation incentives and multi-actor coordination are still weak. The reason is that the factors of technology, institutions and relationships have not been effectively integrated into the daily life of older adults and the service supply chain or community governance network. Therefore, this paper puts forward the three ways of technological re-embedding, institutional re-embedding and relational re-embedding to promote the transformation of smart community-based elderly care from a "constructed system" to a "stable operation".

The Influence of Childhood Trauma Experiences on Social Avoidance and Distress in Secondary School Students: The Mediating Role of Psychological Capital
type: item
description: Objective: To explore the influencing mechanism of childhood trauma experiences on social avoidance and distress among middle school students, and to examine the mediating role of psychological capital. Methods: A total of 389 middle school students were investigated by using the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire-Short Form (CTQ-SF), the Social Avoidance and Distress Scale (SAD), and the Positive Psychological Capital Questionnaire (PPQ).Results: Childhood trauma experiences significantly positively predicted social avoidance and distress, and negatively predicted psychological capital. Psychological capital played a partial mediating role between childhood trauma experiences and social avoidance and distress, with the mediating effect accounting for 31.40%.Conclusion: Reducing childhood trauma experiences and enhancing psychological capital can alleviate middle school students’ social avoidance and distress to a certain extent.

Sublimity Deals in Turn with The Threat to The Self and A Consolidation of The Self
type: item
description: As Edmund Burke mentions in his book A Philosophical Enquiry into the Origin of our Ideas of the Sublime and Beautiful, ‘This choice creeping and flying announces the dilemma of the Sublime: does it bring us down to earth or link us with the divinity of the skies?’. This duality underscores how the sublime navigates between the material and the metaphysical, engaging with our deepest fears while simultaneously expanding our spiritual horizons.

Cold War Anti-Communism and the Reconfiguration of U.S. Informal Empire in Latin America
type: item
description: This paper determines whether the Cold War led to the development of modern American imperialist ideology and practice in Latin America. It proposes that the Cold War did not give rise to American imperialism in isolation; instead, it transformed earlier forms of informal empire by translating economic dependence, military influence and cultural desire for freedom into the language of anti-communism, democracy and freedom. Through a comparative historical study, this paper will take Cuba, Chile and Panama as cases to explore the different forms of informal empire. Cuba is a case study of how pre-Cold War dependence and the Platt Amendment turned into a conflict over revolution, containment, and different models of modernity. Chile shows how the United States used covert operations, economic pressure and other means to undermine the democratically elected socialist government. Panama is a typical case of control over key facilities that does not amount to direct colonial rule. In all of the above cases, the United States has presented intervention as defensive protection for the "free world", but in practice, it has restricted the political and economic autonomy of Latin American countries. Therefore, the paper takes the Cold War anti-communism movement as a particular example of modernisation for old imperial practices.

From Dissonance to Coordination: Research Evolution and Future Prospects of the Rationalization Mechanism of Human-Machine Emotional Dependence
type: item
description: The advancement of generative artificial intelligence technology has deepened human-machine emotional dependence. While users enjoy emotional companionship, they also face the risk of dependence alienation, becoming trapped in a cognitive dissonance dilemma between rational cognition and emotional investment, which in turn gives rise to self-justification behaviors. To understand this justification mechanism, this study draws on perspectives from communication studies, psychology, and sociology, and employs cognitive dissonance theory as an analytical framework to systematically examine the manifestations, causes, and adjustment mechanisms of human-machine emotional dependence dissonance. The findings indicate that such dissonance manifests as emotional fragmentation, addictive attachment, excessive disclosure, and separation anxiety. These symptoms arise from the combined effect of internal factors such as emotional compensation and mirror projection and external factors, including platform algorithm customization, emotional narratives, and the co-construction of community meaning. Such dysregulation can be rationally adjusted through individual coping strategies and group consensus mechanisms. However, existing studies mostly remain at the level of theoretical speculation, ignoring the circular mechanism of "from the inside out, then from the outside shaping the inside", and are deficient in empirical support and dynamic analysis. In the future, research should adopt methods such as in-depth interviews, netnography and grounded theory, construct a whole-process dynamic model of "individual strategy generation—group consensus construction—new individual acquisition and internalization" that integrates internal and external factors, and explore intervention paths for healthy human-machine boundaries that shift from passive elimination to active guidance.

Statistical Modeling and Analysis of Fertility in China
type: item
description: Fertility is one of the key indicators in demographic research. In recent years, fertility in China has continued to decline, and population change has attracted widespread attention. This paper applies five models—the Hadwiger model, the Gamma model, Model I and Model II proposed by Peristera and Kostaki, and the Adjusted Error Model—to fit national age-specific fertility rate (ASFR) data for China in 2000, 2010, and 2020. The fitting performance of these models is compared in order to identify the models most suitable for China’s fertility pattern and to provide a scientific basis for fertility-related policy formulation and population regulation. The results show that the Gamma model and Model I yield the smallest residual sum of squares and provide the best fit, indicating that they are well suited to China’s fertility pattern.

A Study on the Construction of National Image in Xinhuanet’s Editorial on the V-Day Military Parade from the Perspective of Appraisal Theory
type: item
description: Drawing on the Appraisal Theory and Periodicity Theory, this study conducts a discourse cohesion and interpersonal meaning analysis of the announcement editorial on Xinhuanet’s V-Day commemorative activities, examining macroTheme, macroNew, hyperTheme, and hyperNew thematic progression patterns. Compared to traditional discourse cohesion analysis, periodicity assists in clarifying the discourse's wave-like theme-new information structure; when combined with appraisal theory, the analysis reveals coherent interpersonal meanings, thereby avoiding abrupt shifts in attitude. Through meticulous theme selection, rigorous discourse cohesion, and substantial argumentation, commentators establish an objective ‘Peacekeeper’ China’s national image.

The Evolution of the Clustered Lotus Incarnation in the Yungang Grottoes
type: item
description: This paper takes the clustered lotus incarnation images in the Yungang Grottoes as the research object, and explores their formal features, stylistic origins, and evolutionary process. It first clarifies the religious connotation of lotus incarnation as a symbol of rebirth in the Pure Land, aiming to illustrate that Pure Land themes appearing at Yungang before the sixth century do not necessarily fully conform to relevant Buddhist scriptures. On this basis, the paper focuses on analyzing the differences between the clustered lotus incarnation motifs in Yungang Cave 10 and Cave 5. The imagery of Cave 10 bears strong stylistic elements of the Western Regions and Gandhara, and was probably influenced by the sculptural traditions of Khotan and other regions, as well as the standardized iconographic system established under the supervision of Wang Yu. By contrast, the lotus incarnations in Cave 5 exhibit the sculptural characteristics of the elegant slender style (Xiugu Qingxiang), and are likely supplementary carvings shaped jointly by the agglomeration of cultural strength in Pingcheng, the artistic fashion of the Longmen area after the capital moved to Luoyang, and the decorative style of lotus incarnation tile ends from above ground temples such as Yongning Temple. Through a comparative study of related imagery from Yungang, the Siyan Stupa at Longcheng, Yongning Temple in Luoyang, and Guyang Cave at Longmen, this article seeks to reveal the developmental trajectory of this iconographic motif.

Manipulation and Animation: Theatrical Construction of the Relationship Between "Self" and "Other" in Puppetry Performance
type: item
description: As an ancient performing art with contemporary vitality, puppetry demonstrates rich aesthetic characteristics and philosophical connotations in contemporary theatrical practice. Taking the puppetry performance in the contemporary drama. When a Tooth Falls in Love with the Dentist’s Front Tooth (hereinafter referred to as “The Tooth”) as the research object, this paper starts from the basic characteristics of puppetry, and deeply explores the construction of the relationship between "self" and "other", the aesthetic mechanism of anthropomorphic performance, and the reconstruction of performing subject identity in the co‑performance of humans and puppets. By combining theoretical analysis and case study, this paper argues that puppetry is not only a display of skills, but also a philosophical exploration of life, subjectivity and the spectator‑performer relationship.

Hybrid Subject: Postcolonial Identity and Resistance in R. F. Kuang’s Babel
type: item
description: F. Kuang’s novel Babel, Or the Necessity of Violence: An Arcane History of the Oxford Translator’s Revolution reimagines 1830s Oxford as a center of imperial power, where translation, through a magical system called silver-working, fuels the British Empire’s global dominance. This article employs Homi K. Bhabha’s concepts of hybridity and the “third space”, alongside Stuart Hall’s theorization of cultural identity as “becoming”, to analyze the identity formation of the protagonist Robin Swift. Tracing Robin’s trajectory from colonial subject to revolutionary agent reveals how language operates simultaneously as technology of imperial governance and potential site of resistance. Kuang’s narrative demonstrates that the hybrid subject, positioned in the interstices between cultures, possesses unique critical vision that can become subversive power.

Translation Strategies for External Publicity of Heilongjiang Intangible Cultural Heritage in the AI Era
type: item
description: Heilongjiang Province is home to rich intangible cultural heritage (ICH) resources. However, in the process of international publicity translation, problems such as inconsistent terminology, insufficient transmission of cultural connotations, low translation efficiency, and a lack of quality feedback mechanisms have seriously constrained its effectiveness in international communication. With the development of artificial intelligence technologies, machine translation, natural language processing, and corpus construction offer new solutions for ICH publicity translation. This paper, based on the practical difficulties in the external public translation of Heilongjiang’s ICH, proposes five optimization strategies: standardized terminology construction, human-AI collaborative translation, multi-solution selection for culture-specific items, audience-oriented dynamic content adaptation, and quantitative data-driven translation quality feedback. The research shows that AI technologies can effectively improve the standardization, accuracy, and adaptability of ICH translation, facilitating the high-quality “going global” of Heilongjiang’s ICH culture, and providing practical references and methodological support for the external communication of Chinese culture in the new era.

Jonas's Quest for a Path to Reconcile the Rift between Humans and Nature
type: item
description: The relationship between humans and nature is a timeless topic of human concern. How we understand this issue affects our values and actions, which in turn impact our sustainable development. The dualism of subject and object, introduced by Descartes, triggered a significant movement in the history of thought that highlighted human subjectivity. However, it also created a split between the material and the spiritual, disrupting the harmony between humans and nature. Hans Jonas, a responsible philosopher of the 20th century, critiqued the nihilistic elements of Gnosticism and contemporary existentialism to diagnose the roots of the crisis between humans and nature. He developed a life philosophy that emphasizes life as the highest good, aiming to find a new path that reconciles the rift between humans and nature.

More Than Information: The Mediating Role of Professional Skill Development in Career Planning Competency
type: item
description: Effective career planning is essential for master’s students’ transition from academia to the labor market, yet many lack systematic planning skills. Grounded in Social Cognitive Career Theory (SCCT), this cross-sectional study surveyed 1223 full-time master’s students from five universities in East China using a validated 24-item career planning competency scale and a theory-based predictor questionnaire. Multiple linear regression with bootstrapping showed that professional skill improvement was the strongest positive predictor (β = .518, p < .001), followed by family/friend support (β = .121, p < .001), career lectures (β = .082, p = .023), career expectations (β = .059, p = .021), and supervisor guidance (β = .051, p = .041). Five of the six predictors were significant, with professional skill improvement showing the strongest effect, and the model accounted for 48.6% of the variance. Small demographic differences were found by discipline, degree type (professional > academic), geographic origin (urban > rural), and parental education, but not by gender or grade. An exploratory mediation analysis revealed that the effect of vocational information access on career planning competency is not merely direct but fully mediated through professional skill improvement, highlighting the critical role of translating information into skill mastery. The findings highlight the primacy of mastery experiences and the culturally amplified role of family support in the Chinese context. Universities should prioritize skill‑based interventions and targeted support for disadvantaged groups rather than relying solely on information dissemination.

An Analysis of Neo-Slave Narrative in The Underground Railroad
type: item
description: Colson Whitehead’s novel The Underground Railroad is regarded as a quintessential work of the neo-slave narrative genre. This paper constructs a three-dimensional analytical framework of “inheritance innovation revision” to systematically examine the novel. The study argues that, at the thematic level, the novel inherits and deepens the traditional motifs of slave suffering and the pursuit of freedom, exposing with striking force the systemic violence and logic of bodily objectification inherent in slavery. At the stylistic level, through “temporal spatial dislocation” and intertextual writing, it dismantles linear historiography and reveals the structural continuity of racism. At the paradigmatic level, by means of a “museumizing” (mediating narrative) and the deconstruction of Mabel’s escape myth, it revises the emotional immersion model and closed endings of earlier neo-slave narratives, constructing a critical apparatus for historical cognition. Through its postmodern narrative strategies, The Underground Railroad transcends the traditional neo-slave narrative model, offering a profound literary cognitive lens for understanding the systemic nature and historical continuity of racial oppression in America.

Multimodal Synergy: Multimodal Communication Pathways for Hengyang Regional Culture
type: item
description: Against the backdrop of the deep integration of globalization and digitalization, the international communication of regional cultures is undergoing a paradigm shift from “text-centeredness” to “modal convergence.” Hengyang regional culture, as a distinctive part of Chinese culture, faces persistent challenges in its international dissemination, including cultural discount, platform dependence, and stereotypical perceptions. To address these challenges, this study aims to explore multimodal international communication pathways for Hengyang regional culture. Drawing on multimodal discourse analysis theory and digital humanities technologies, the study adopts a systematic approach that integrates literature review, case analysis, and comparative studies. The findings reveal that Hengyang regional culture exhibits a five-dimensional structure comprising “Nanyue Longevity Culture,” “Chuanshan Culture,” “Anti-Japanese War Culture,” “Red Culture,” and “Modern Culture.” Accordingly, the study proposes a multimodal pathway model centered on the dual strategies of “creative transformation” and “multimodal synergy,” supported by specialized corpus construction, 3D digitization of cultural relics, and innovative multimodal content production. The results indicate that such an integrated pathway can effectively mitigate the cultural discount effect, reduce platform dependency, and break down stereotypical barriers in cross-cultural communication. In conclusion, this study provides a systematic theoretical framework and practical insights for the international cultural communication of Hengyang and other similar small and medium-sized cities, offering actionable strategies for enhancing global cultural outreach.

An Analysis of the Influence of Religion in James Joyce’s “Araby”
type: item
description: James Joyce’s “Araby” is a short story deeply embedded in the religious context of early 20th-century Ireland. Based on close textual analysis, this paper aims to analyse how Catholic imagery and language shape the narrator’s perception of love and reality. Using the full text as raw data, a qualitative approach is adopted to interpret religious symbols and allusions in the story. The results show that the narrator internalizes religious vocabulary and combines his romantic feelings with the veneration of the Virgin Mary, finally considering his quest as a failed pilgrimage. Religious imagery does not merely decorate the text. It confines the boy psychologically. His disillusionment at the bazaar thus becomes Joyce’s critique of Catholicism as a primary cause of Ireland’s spiritual paralysis, revealing how religion distorts adolescent emotion and deepens Dublin’s social paralysis.

title: Innovative Trust Structures and Regulatory Synergy for Cross-Border Intellectual Property Securitization: An Integration Approach Based on Reflections on Traditional Transaction Structures and Hong Kong's “LEAP” Framework
description: Intellectual property securitization, as an important financial instrument for revitalizing the value of intangible assets, faces structural dilemmas in cross-border practice, such as differences in judicial recognition, valuation opacity, and regulatory mismatch. Traditional single or dual special purpose vehicle (SPV) structures struggle to effectively address the challenges posed by cross-border intellectual property right heterogeneity. Based on a critical reflection on existing transaction schemes, this paper proposes an integrated solution centered on a “dual-compliance smart contract,” combining the virtual asset development and tokenization policy direction established by the Policy Statement on Development of Virtual Assets in Hong Kong 2.0, and blockchain technology. Research indicates that this framework, through automated compliance review and a dynamic valuation mechanism, can significantly enhance the effectiveness of cross-border bankruptcy isolation and asset transparency, and provide a replicable institutional paradigm for regulatory coordination in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. This study holds important theoretical value and practical significance for cross-border financial innovation.

Putting Down Roots or Homing Instinct?
type: item
description: Amid the rising "returnee wave" and the notable "homing effect," the employment decisions of overseas students reveal considerable diversity and unpredictability. Current research often emphasizes macro-level factors like policies and economic push-pull dynamics, while paying less attention to the micro-level psychological mechanisms shaped by overseas experiences and the interplay of diverse motivations. This study focuses on regular overseas students as its primary subjects, using a questionnaire survey to systematically identify and categorize the multidimensional factors influencing their decision to return home for employment. Findings indicate a significant "homing effect," with 67.78% of respondents leaning toward or firmly choosing to return. At the same time, the phenomenon of "failure to put down roots" abroad is prominent, where cultural barriers, difficulties in social integration, and visa obstacles serve as strong passive push factors. This study constructs a multidimensional framework integrating both "emotional pull" and "passive push" forces, revealing the "homing" decision as a complex trade-off. It offers an empirical basis for policy optimization and individual decision-making.

A Comparative Study of Museum Cultural Creative Products’ Outreach Strategies Between China and South Korea from the Perspective of Hunan Culture
type: item
description: Amid the intensifying global competition for cultural soft power, cultural creative products’ outreach has emerged as a critical pathway for enhancing national cultural influence. This study examines the Hunan Provincial Museum alongside the National Museum of Korea and Gyeongbokgung Palace as primary research objects, employing comparative analysis, case study methodology, and cross-cultural communication theory to systematically analyze the similarities and differences in Sino-Korean cultural creative outreach products' strategies. The findings reveal a significant complementarity between the two countries' outreach models: China adopts a "civilizational dialogue" orientation, leveraging its profound historical resources to pursue academically grounded outreach; South Korea, by contrast, is driven by "emotional consumption," achieving mass cultural dissemination through lightweight narratives. Accordingly, China may draw upon South Korea's experience in private-domain traffic management and IP lightweighting, while South Korea can benefit from China's expertise in deep IP development and regional cultural differentiation. Both nations can further pursue East Asian cultural synergy through collaborative initiatives such as shared digital repositories and joint UNESCO heritage nominations. Balancing "traditional authority" with "modern communicative power" in cultural outreach offers practical insights for cross-cultural communication in an era of globalization.
