Luo Yonghao Responds to "Calling Yu Minhong Ungrateful": Totally Disagree, Was Very Angry at That Time
On December 17th, Luo Yonghao's Crossroads released a new episode of the podcast. In the program, Luo Yonghao recalled his work experience at New Oriental. He said that today, it's mainstream for young people in society to scold their bosses and the workplace. But when I do it, they say I'm ungrateful. Isn't that too strange? If you succeed in the workplace, haven't you ever thought it might be because of your own efforts? Luo Yonghao said, "Sometimes we talk about the kindness of being recognized in the workplace. In my understanding, the kindness of being recognized means that when everyone says you're no good, there's a certain leader who insists you're good and supports you all the way until you really become good. Look at my situation at New Oriental. Many people say that you're nothing without New Oriental, so Yu Minhong has been kind to you. But if you come out and scold Yu Minhong, that's being ungrateful. I totally disagree with this." (Red Star News)

On December 17th, Nanjing Museum responded to reports about the appearance of Ming Dynasty artist Qiu Ying's painting "Spring in the South of the Yangtze River" at an auction.

Currently, a lawsuit regarding the donation contract of the painting is underway. The museum will actively cooperate with the lawsuit, verify the whereabouts of the painting, and standardize the management of donated items and museum collections. The museum said that it is necessary to further verify whether the "Spring in the South of the Yangtze River" appearing at the auction is the donated painting.
According to previous reports, Pang Laichen (1864 - 1949) was a renowned modern - era collector in China. His "Xuzhai" collection of ancient paintings was well - known for its high - quality and comprehensive collection. In the 1950s, Pang Laichen's descendants donated a large number of precious ancient Chinese paintings and calligraphy works to several state - owned cultural and museum institutions, with the largest number of donations, 137 pieces (sets), going to Nanjing Museum. However, unexpectedly, a scroll painting of "Spring in the South of the Yangtze River" by Ming Dynasty artist Qiu Ying, which was donated by Pang Laichen's descendants to Nanjing Museum, suddenly appeared at an art auction in Beijing this year, with an estimated value of 88 million yuan.

On December 17th, Elon Musk responded on the X platform to the news of Ford scaling back its electric vehicle strategy, believing that this signals the decline and demise of the traditional automotive industry.

It's like investing in new whaling ships after the commercialization of incandescent lamps."
Musk replied, "Absolutely right. Years ago, I said that non - autonomous internal combustion engine vehicles are like riding a horse while using a flip phone, but you can't force a good idea on the traditional industry. They're just determined to perish." (Upstream News)
