Capital ready to embrace Beijing International Film Festival

Beijing is ready to embrace the upcoming 8th Beijing International Film Festival, which is due to be held from April 15 to 22.

Various activities will be staged across the capital, including the Tiantan Awards selection, a movie carnival, forums, premieres and concerts.

Yanqi Lake International Convention and Exhibition Center in Huairou district will witness film stars and directors dressing up for the red carpet at the opening ceremony on April 15.

During the festival, more than 500 movies will hit the screens at 32 cinemas across Beijing, where cast members from some of the movies will meet moviegoers in selected theaters.

Ren Qian, vice-president of the organizing committee, announced at a recent news conference that Hong Kong filmmaker Wong Kar-wai would be the judge of this year's Tiantan Awards. The winners will be selected from among 579 film entries from 70 countries and regions.

According to Hu Dong, deputy secretary-general for the committee, box office takings in Beijing reached 3.40 billion yuan ($537 million) in 2017.

"The upward trend in the box office reflects the burgeoning film market in Beijing. And the festival will surely be conducive to the development of the cultural and creative industries in China's capital," said Hu.

what is the most frightening thing that you have ever seen happen in life

It’s a man looking over his family during the British Raj in India. There were many cases of cannibalism and he feared someone would try to kill and eat his children or wife. I acknowledge this is a difficult picture to look at— but I included it for a reason. Many people in the US/West aren’t even aware of the terrible famines that swept through India and which are comparable to the holocaust in deaths (an estimated ~30 million people have died in famines in India). This was taken from the Great Famine of 1876–1878, which was far worse than the infamous Bengal Famine. It was caused by a crop failure/drought and was exacerbated by the crown’s export of wheat abroad. In total, 5.6 - 9 million people died (it’s hard to get exact figures). And within huge statistics like these, are forgotten stories. These are individuals and families, who slowly faced the despair of knowing they had no food and would have no food in the near future. They faced the horror of knowing there was

WHAT A HUSBAND TOLD HIS WIFE THE NIGHT OF THEIR MARRIAGE/ WEDDING

My wife, everyone has gone home. The music is quiet, the celebration is over. Our wedding was beautiful but it is now in the past. We have finished the wedding/marriage, it is now time to build our marriage. All that is left now is the two of us… What we will become tomorrow, starts from tonight. Our life is no longer the same. There was a day you put on one red dress… You looked so beautiful in it. That Day I wanted to just touch you! We were in the Cinema and I was so tempted. I wanted to just take you inside the toilet and kiss you but I couldn’t. Guess what? Now I have you forever, I can do that everyday.

You can access my facebook, my twitter and my Instagram From today, I have become a child. For the past five years of my life, I have been a man. I wake myself up in the morning, sometimes I go to bed hung

MARRIED OR NOT, YOU SHOULD READ This life moment

“When I got home that night as my wife served dinner, I held her hand and said, I’ve got something to tell you. She sat down and ate quietly. Again I observed the hurt in her eyes. Suddenly I didn’t know how to open my mouth. But I had to let her know crewhat I was thinking. I want a divorce. I raised the topic calmly. She didn’t seem to be annoyed by my words, instead she asked me softly, why? You know I avoided her question. This made her angry. She threw away the chopsticks and shouted at me, you are not a man! That night, we didn’t talk to each other. She was weeping. I knew she wanted to find out what had happened to our marriage. But I could hardly give her a satisfactory answer; she had lost my heart to Jane. I didn’t love her anymore. I just pitied her! With a deep sense of guilt, I drafted a divorce agreement which stated that she could own our house, our car, and 30% stake of my company. She glanced at it and then tore it into pieces.
