By the time Chinese star Zhang Ziyi walked the Cannes Film Festival’s red carpet on the event’s penultimate night last Friday, it was already clear that Chinese cinema was back on the international stage in a major way. The world’s most glamorous movie event premiered five films from China across its official selection this year, ending a long period of relative obscurity that began with the pandemic. The two most prominent Chinese films to unfurl in Cannes this year — Jia Zhangke’s acclaimed drama Caught By the Tides and Peter Chan’s commercial powerhouse She’s Got No Name, starring Zhang and a slew of big-name Chinese actors — were both backed by rising studio Huanxi Media.

Washington, July 23: A study has revealed that consumers tend to 'treat' themselves with unique presents more out of pride than their hard work put into achieving a milestone.
The authors said that they have found that consumers who attribute feelings of pride to their unique character traits, rather than, how hard they worked to accomplish something, are more likely to feel 'special', hence, are more likely to seek out unique options rather than conform to the choices of others.
The authors, Xun (Irene) Huang (Sun Yat-sen University), Ping Dong (University of Toronto), and Anirban Mukhopadhyay (Hong Kong University of Science and Technology), have suggested that brands offering unique products should use terms like "you're.
