( MENAFN - Newsfile Corp) Baisha, China--(Newsfile Corp. - November 30, 2024) - Cherishing the tropical rainforest and enjoying rainforest moments. On the afternoon of November 30, the opening ceremony of the 2024 "Rainforest and You" experience event and the live performance of "Rainforest Time - La'omen Rainforest Harvest Festival" took place at the Rice Cultivation Park in Baisha Li Autonomous County, Hainan Province. This event was hosted by the Hainan Tropical Rainforest National Park Administration, supported by the Hainan Provincial Department of Tourism, Culture, Radio, Television and Sports, and the Hainan Federation of Literary and Art Circles, with co-hosting by the Baisha Li Autonomous County Committee of the Communist Party of China, the Baisha Li Autonomous County People's Government, and Hainan Broadcasting Station. The "Rainforest and You" experience event is an ecological cultural brand initiative planned by Hainan Province, intended to run for five years. The theme is "Cherish the Tropical Rainforest, Enjoy Rainforest Time," with this year's main venue located in the Baisha area of Hainan Tropical Rainforest National Park. As a highlight of this year's "Rainforest and You" experience event, the live performance of "Rainforest Time - La'omen Rainforest Harvest Festival" narrates the evolution of civilization from the Li ethnic group's fishing and hunting in the rainforest to rice farming. Through a celebration that blends tradition and modernity, it fully showcases the ecological treasures of the tropical rainforest national park, the rich and colorful ethnic culture of Baisha Li Autonomous County, and tells a story that connects the past and future-from rainforest to rice field, from village to city-creating a beautiful picture of ecological harmony, reflecting the spirit of the times and cultural confidence. The stage design adheres to the principle of symbiosis between rainforests and villages, creating an immersive experience in the fields and rainforest. The opening ceremony featured a large-scale rural live performance lasting about an hour, composed of four chapters: "Voices of the Rainforest," "Li Family Rice Cultivation," "Baisha Autumn Festival," and "Hilltop Moments." It included various performance forms such as song and dance, dramas, and traditional instrumental music, realistically depicting agricultural practices and rituals to showcase the harmony between rainforest ecology and human development. The entire performance, centered around "Rainforest Time," utilized music, dance, and environmental art to interpret the concepts of "Rainforest and Landscape," "Rainforest and Ethnicity," and "Rainforest and Villages." Compared to 2023, this festival features six major highlights: First, it combines the "Rainforest and You" event with the traditional Baisha festival "La'omen," cleverly merging ancient Li festival traditions with the mystique of the tropical rainforest to create a feast of nature and culture. Second, it established two venues: the Yacha Carnival main venue and the Qingsong original site sub-venue, attracting more visitors and expanding cultural experiences to a broader area. Third, it integrates land art, long table feasts, and original Li folk songs, providing a unique long table dining experience that enhances participation and immersion for visitors. Fourth, setting the event venue in rice fields allows visitors to experience the beauty of nature and the labor of the Li people firsthand. Fifth, live demonstrations and interactive experiences of Baisha Li's intangible cultural heritage allow visitors to deeply appreciate the unique charm of Li culture. Sixth, diverse folk cultural performances enhance visitor engagement and deepen their experience of the unique flavor of Li agricultural traditions. The performance seamlessly transitions from the first note to the last, with choreography that ensures smooth continuity, allowing actors to flow through the space and progressively build emotional rhythm, vividly showcasing the integration of theme and art. In addition to the live performance of "Rainforest Time - La'omen Rainforest Harvest Festival," a sub-venue was also established in Yongchu Village, Qingsong Township, Baisha Li Autonomous County, hosting welcoming, opening, and blessing rituals, along with events like the Mountain Festival, Shalan Harvest Ceremony, and long table feast, creating a rich atmosphere for the public to learn about Baisha's diverse ethnic culture and tropical rainforest. The event was broadcast live globally via the Hainan Radio and Television Group's Free Trade Channel, attracting numerous visitors and citizens to watch both on-site and online. Notable attendees included Li Jun, Secretary of the Party Leadership Group and Deputy Director of the Hainan Provincial People's Congress, Fu Yuelan, former Deputy Director of the Hainan Provincial People's Congress, Liu Zhaojun, Secretary of the Party Leadership Group and Director of the Hainan Forestry Bureau, Deng Weiqiang, Secretary of the Baisha Li Autonomous County Committee, and Huang Cong, Mayor of Baisha Li Autonomous County. In addition to the live performance, the main venue in Baisha also hosted the "Qixi Forest Friends Meeting - Celebrate Li Ethnic Qixi in Baisha, Cherish the Green Mountains" social event, rainforest study activities, and a series of "Rainforest+" themed events, creating a comprehensive atmosphere for the public to learn about the tropical rainforest and further enhancing the recognition of Hainan's tropical rainforest and its rich biodiversity, encouraging more people to understand, love, enter, and protect the rainforest. Since General Secretary Xi Jinping announced the establishment of the first national parks in October 2021, Hainan has adhered to his earnest instructions, prioritizing protection by implementing conservation and restoration of the tropical rainforest ecosystem, rare species, natural heritage, and landscapes, significantly improving the ecological quality of national parks. The population of Hainan gibbons has increased year after year, and the ecological path of the national park continues to improve; the tourism road around national parks and its green industry belt have been meticulously developed, creating premium rainforest tourism routes and actively exploring pathways for realizing the value of ecological products such as "Two Mountains Loans" and "Ecological Prices," while launching a series of popular agricultural brands featuring rainforest characteristics, ensuring that the revitalization path of the national park becomes increasingly beautiful and the development path continues to widen.

Strictly Come Dancing fans demand star's exit 'he needs to go' after quarter-final tripFacebook Twitter WhatsApp SMS Email Print Copy article link Save LOS ANGELES — Until he sustained a season-ending knee injury last week in the Western Conference final, Galaxy playmaker Riqui Puig was having a tremendous season. So I heard. I watched Puig play only twice this year, once in the Galaxy's season-opening 1-1 draw with Inter Miami and a second time in his team's Fourth of July defeat to LAFC at the Rose Bowl. Outside of short highlight clips on social media, I never saw the former Barcelona prospect, not even when he assisted on the goal that sent the Galaxy to the MLS Cup final. That wasn't a reflection of my interest. Some of my friends will make fun of me for publicly admitting this, but I like Major League Soccer. I covered the league in my first job out of college and have casually kept up with it since. I take my children to a couple of games a year. My 11-year-old son owns Galaxy and LAFC hats but no Dodgers or Lakers merchandise. People are also reading...

But not this year. While the MLS Cup final between the Galaxy and New York Red Bulls will be shown on Fox and Fox Deportes, the majority of games are now exclusively behind a paywall, courtesy of the league's broadcasting deal with Apple. MLS Season Pass subscriptions were reasonably priced — $79 for the entire season for Apple TV+ subscribers, $99 for non-subscribers — but I was already paying for DirecTV Stream, Netflix, Amazon Prime, PlayStation Plus and who knows what else. MLS became a casualty in my household, as well as in many others, and the possibility of being out of sight and out of mind should be a concern for a league that is looking to expand its audience. Which isn't to say the league made a mistake. This was a gamble MLS had to take. Now in the second year of a 10-year, $2.5 billion deal with Apple, MLS did what Major League Baseball is talking about doing, which is to centralize its broadcasting rights and sell them to a digital platform. Regional sports networks have been decimated by cord cutting, making traditional economic models unsustainable. The move to Apple not only increased the league's broadcast revenues — previous deals with ESPN, Fox and Univision were worth a combined $90 million annually, according to multiple reports — but also introduced a measure of uniformity in the league. The quality of the broadcasts are better than they were under regional sports networks. Viewers know where to watch games and when, as every one of them is on Season Pass and most of them are scheduled to start at 7:30 p.m. local time either on Wednesday or Saturday. "That's been fueling our growth and driving our fan engagement," MLS Commissioner Don Garber said Friday at his annual state of the league address. Apple and MLS declined to reveal the number of League Pass subscribers, but the league provided polling figures that indicated 94% of viewers offered positive or neutral reviews of League Pass. The average viewing time for a game is about 65 minutes for a 90-minute game, according to Garber. In other words, the League Pass is well-liked — by the people who have it. The challenge now is to increase that audience. The launch of League Pass last year coincided with the arrival of Lionel Messi, which presumably resulted in a wave of subscriptions. But the league can't count on the appearance of the next Messi; there is only one of him. MLS pointed to how its fans watch sports on streaming devices or recorded television than any other U.S. sports league, as well as how 71% of its fans are under the age of 45. The league also pointed to how it effectively drew more viewers to the Apple broadcast of Inter Miami's postseason opener with a livestream of a "Messi Cam' on TikTok, indicating further collaborations with wide-reaching entities could be in its future. Garber mentioned how Season Pass is available in other countries. The commissioner also made note of how Apple places games every week in front of its paywall. "What we have, really, is a communication problem," Garber said. "This is new, and we've got to work with Apple, we've got to work with our clubs and we've got to work with our partners to get more exposure to what we think is a great product." The greatest benefit to the league could be Apple's vested interest in improving the on-field product. MLS insiders said Apple has not only encouraged teams to sign more high-profile players but also pushed the league to switch to a fall-to-spring calendar more commonplace in other parts of the world, reasoning that doing so would simplify the process of buying and selling players. The on-field product is what matters. The on-field product is why MLS continues to face competition for viewers from overseas leagues. The on-field product is why the league hasn't succeeded in converting every soccer fan into a MLS fan. And ultimately, if casual viewers such as myself are to pay to watch the Galaxy or LAFC on a screen of some kind, the on-field product will be why. Get local news delivered to your inbox!
