Happy National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival

Due to the difference between the Chinese lunar calendar and the international calendar, National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival are coincidentally in the same day (1^st October) this year. It makes a long holiday of 8 days for many employees.

Many people take this opportunity to go travel with families after months isolation and days without entertainment. According to information released by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism on the 9th, during the National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival, the country received 637 million domestic tourists, a 79.0% recovery on a comparable basis; domestic tourism revenue was 466.56 billion yuan, a 69.9% recovery on a comparable basis. Many provinces reported that the tourism revenue has even increased a lot from last year.

The film industry is also prosperous as the tourism industry. Due to the outbreak of the epidemic, movie theaters across the country were closed during the Spring Festival. As a result, many movies scheduled to be released in the Spring Festival this year have been cancelled. With the gradual control of the epidemic, movie theaters have also reopened, and many Spring Festival films have chosen to be released again in this golden holiday.

According to preliminary statistics from the National Film Funding Office, during the National Day period of 2020 (October 1 to 8), the nation’s movie box office generated 3.952 billion yuan, attracting nearly 100 million people to watch the movie.

  Thanks to the efforts of the vast number of medical staff and workers from all walks of life, the epidemic in China has been quickly brought under control and society quickly resumed normal operations. However, the epidemic is still not over. Please remember to wear a mask.
