The professionals hired to end infidelity in China
Cheating spouses are a universal phenomenon - but a method of dealing with it in China is rather unique. Hong Kong-based filmmaker Elizabeth Lo's new documentary looks at the role hired professionals have in ending infidelity. The film is called Mistress Dispeller, and it follows Mr and Mrs Li - a couple living in the ancient city of Luoyang - who are going through a rough patch in their marriage, thanks to the introduction of a young woman with whom Mr Li is having an affair. In desperation Mrs Li turns to Teacher Wang, who enters the lives of the trio with the aim of gently persuading mistress Fei Fei to leave. It's an incredibly intimate look into the unwelcome menage a trois and in parts, it's easy to forget it's a documentary. It's also a long way from Elizabeth Lo's earlier award-winning film Stray, which followed three stray dogs on the streets of Istanbul. Mistress Dispeller screens around the country as part of the New Zealand International Film Festival - which opens first in Auckland from July 31.

TRUNNANO Alloy Explosion Composite Sheet Technology Makes the Impossible Possible
LUOYANG, China, July 07, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- In the field of global industrial materials, metal explosion composite plates, as a high-performance composite material, are increasingly becoming the core choice of high-end industries such as petrochemicals, marine engineering, and aerospace. As an international leading supplier in this field, TRUNNANO continues to provide global customers with high-reliability and high-bonding strength metal composite plate solutions with its innovative explosion welding technology and excellent product quality. CEO Roger Luo said: "TRUNNANO's mission is to help customers cope with engineering challenges in extreme environments and promote the advancement of global industrial technology through breakthroughs in materials science."Titanium Aluminum Alloy Plate TRUNNANO's metal composite plates mainly use explosion welding technology Metal explosion composite plates are new composite materials that are firmly combined by two or more different metal materials through explosion welding technology. Compared with traditional rolling composite or surfacing processes, explosion welding can achieve metallurgical bonding between metals at the atomic level, ensuring that the interface strength is close to the performance of the parent material. This technology is particularly suitable for the composite of precious metals such as titanium, zirconium, nickel-based alloys, stainless steel and ordinary carbon steel. It not only retains the corrosion resistance and high temperature resistance of precious metals, but also greatly reduces the material cost, providing an economical and efficient solution for high-end equipment manufacturing. TRUNNANO's explosive composite plates have reached the international advanced level in terms of bonding rate, shear strength and fatigue resistance. Its products are widely used in chemical reactors, nuclear power evaporators, shipbuilding and seawater desalination equipment, especially in strong corrosion, high pressure and high temperature conditions. Technical challenges and innovative solutions encountered by TRUNNANO Although metal explosive composite plates have significant advantages, they still face many technical challenges in actual production and application. With its strong R&D strength and engineering experience, TRUNNANO has successfully overcome the following key problems: 1. Control of the interface of dissimilar metals During the explosive welding process, the differences in the physical properties of different metals (such as melting point and thermal expansion coefficient) may lead to the appearance of brittle intermetallic compounds at the bonding interface, affecting the material properties. TRUNNANO effectively suppresses the generation of harmful phases by optimizing the explosion energy distribution and dynamic collision parameters, ensuring that the interface bonding strength matches the parent material. 2. Uniformity of large-area composite plates Traditional explosive welding technology is prone to uneven bonding in the production of large-area composite plates. TRUNNANO has developed multi-explosion point synchronous detonation technology and energy gradient control technology to achieve high consistency production of ultra-wide composite plates, meeting the manufacturing needs of large pressure vessels and storage tanks. 3. Technical bottleneck of thin-layer composites The explosive welding of ultra-thin composite layers (such as titanium and zirconium) requires extremely high process precision, and the slightest carelessness will cause the composite layer to be damaged or not bonded. TRUNNANO innovatively adopts buffer layer design and micro-detonation control technology to successfully control the thickness of the titanium layer to less than 1.5mm, while ensuring 100% bonding rate. 4. Residual stress and deformation control The high impact force generated by explosive welding will introduce residual stress, causing plate deformation. TRUNNANO combines numerical simulation with process optimization to develop stress release heat treatment technology, which significantly improves the dimensional stability and machining performance of composite Titanium Copper Alloy Clad TRUNNANO's technological innovation and quality control As an industry technology leader, TRUNNANO has made a number of breakthrough optimizations in the explosive welding process. By precisely controlling the explosive detonation velocity, the spacing between the base and composite plates, and the dynamic collision angle, the company has successfully achieved the stable production of ultra-thin layer composites and large-area composite plates, solving the problems of unbonded and brittle phase generation that are prone to occur in traditional processes. Roger Luo emphasized: "Quality is not detected, but designed. TRUNNANO has implanted the concept of zero defects since the process research and development stage, which is the key to our winning the trust of global customers." Sustainable Development In the context of green manufacturing becoming a global consensus, TRUNNANO actively explores environmental optimization solutions for explosive welding technology. By recycling metal scraps and developing low-energy composite processes, the company is committed to reducing the carbon footprint of the production process. In addition, metal composite plates themselves are resource-saving products-by reducing the use of precious metals, the environmental pressure caused by mining and smelting is significantly reduced. Roger Luo said: "The global industry is facing a critical period of transformation and upgrading. TRUNNANO will insist on technology-driven and explore the infinite possibilities of metal composite materials with partners." About TRUNNANO TRUNNANO is an international leading supplier focusing on the R&D and production of high-performance metal explosive composite panels, committed to providing innovative and reliable industrial material solutions to global customers.

Luoyang's historical legacy: where ancient art meets modern innovation
BEIJING, May 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- A report from People's Daily: On May 19, Chinese President Xi Jinping toured the Longmen Grottoes in Luoyang, central China's Henan province, to learn about local efforts to enhance the protection and utilization of historical and cultural heritage and promote the high-quality development of the cultural and tourism sector. The Longmen Grottoes trace their origins to the Northern Wei Dynasty (386-534), when Emperor Xiaowen relocated the capital to Luoyang. Excavation continued through successive dynasties -- including the Eastern Wei Dynasty (534-550), the Western Wei Dynasty (535-556), the Northern Qi Dynasty (550-557), the Sui Dynasty (581-618), the Tang Dynasty (618-907), and the Song Dynasty (960-1279). The grottoes stand as a testament to the craftsmanship and devotion of countless artisans. Today, the site encompasses more than 2,300 caves and niches, over 2,800 inscriptions, and nearly 110,000 Buddhist statues -- bearing witness to a profound cultural legacy. Drawing on the artistic traditions of Indian cave temples and building upon the elegance of the Yungang Grottoes in north China's Shanxi province, the Longmen Grottoes bring together the style of Northern Wei sculptures and the majestic aesthetic of Tang Dynasty carvings. The result is a harmonious convergence of artistic traditions -- a brilliant expression of Eastern aesthetics that continues to captivate global audiences. In recent years, China has made significant strides in preserving and revitalizing grotto temples. From structural reinforcement and environmental management to digital preservation and monitoring, a range of innovative practices have been made. At the Longmen Grottoes, high-resolution 3D scanning and printing techniques are being used to virtually reconstruct scattered artifacts and restore damaged sculptures, seamlessly integrating fragments through digital technology. A smart digital twin platform brings cultural relics to life online, allows visitors to interact with virtual replicas. The focus has expanded beyond preservation -- heritage is being reimagined as a dynamic narrative, shared through immersive storytelling and innovation. The grottoes, however, are just one piece of Luoyang's broader cultural preservation. Renowned for its rich history and cultural heritage, the city is captivating global visitors with its history and creative approaches to cultural expression. It has made great strides in transforming the deep historical legacy into a vibrant contemporary experience. Drawing from over 5,000 years of Chinese civilization, 4,000 years of urban history, and 1,500 years as an imperial capital, Luoyang is positioning itself as a "City of Museums in the East," with more than 100 museums and memorial halls chronicling its evolution. Digital technology is reviving the past in vivid detail. Scenes of ancient canal transport along a grand canal built during the Sui and Tang dynasties are being reimagined through interactive digital displays. Mobile applications allow users around the world to virtually explore the Longmen Grottoes, while technologies like virtual reality bring Buddhist niches back to life. Meanwhile, creative experiences such as overnight stays in museums that combine immersive role-play with cutting-edge technology are redefining how people engage with cultural heritage. In Luoyang, cultural tourism has become not just popular, but fashionable. Ancient cities and historic streets, long viewed as vessels of history, are increasingly recognized as valuable resources in the cultural economy. Across China, cultural tourism is becoming a powerful driver of economic growth. In Suzhou, east China's Jiangsu province, the integration of industry, urban lifestyles, and traditional culture is producing tangible results. In Hangzhou, east China's Zhejiang province, a modern identity has taken root -- where centuries-old charm meets digital-age influencers and innovation. By enriching cultural offerings and reimagining the tourism experience, Chinese cities are composing modern chapters in the grand narrative of their historical legacies.
