At present, the reform of engineering education practice is undergoing a paradigm shift from "coordination" to "symbiosis". However, in operation, multi-base sequential platforms are confronted with structural dilemmas, including the suspension of core values, weak interconnection among participating entities, and fragmentation between knowledge and practice. To address these issues, this study returns to the "Great Production Movement in the Border Regions", a Chinese adaptation and exemplary practice of the Marxist principle of integrating education with productive labor, and conducts a historical decoding of its underlying philosophy of practice. The study proposes that "value anchoring" should be employed to reaffirm the original mission of education, "relational symbiosis" to reconstruct governance structures, and "process integration" to connect curricular systems, thereby enabling a paradigm transformation of engineering education practice platforms from instrumental arrangements to educational communities. Theoretically, this research provides historical legitimacy and intellectual resources for constructing an engineering education model with Chinese characteristics. Practically, it offers a logical framework for universities to reconstruct communities of practice-oriented education.

Objective: This study aims to explore gamified design pathways for Bouyei batik patterns from the perspective of immersive experience, to construct gamification strategies for the dissemination of intangible cultural heritage, and to validate their effectiveness. Methods: The PAT model is introduced to analyze users' immersive needs across three dimensions—user, artifact (tool), and task—thereby establishing a triadic design methodology integrating "principles–strategies–levels". Taking The Whisper of Secret Patterns as a practical carrier, the design incorporates a dual-loop interaction of "pattern exploration + bronze drum performance", combined with wearable haptic feedback, to achieve an innovative integration of cultural narrative and multisensory interaction. Results: Four core principles are identified—user-centeredness, cultural authenticity, narrative scenarization, and multisensory experience—alongside a three-dimensional strategic framework encompassing interaction, scenario, and content. Conclusion: Gamified design from an immersive perspective provides an effective pathway for the digital dissemination of Bouyei batik patterns. It stimulates user interest, sustains flow states, and deepens cultural identity, offering an innovative paradigm for the digital communication of minority intangible cultural heritage.

With the development of virtual reality technology, the traditional interaction methods dominated by vision and hearing can no longer meet users' demands for immersive experience, and haptic interaction has gradually become an important means to enhance the realism of virtual environments. From the perspective of product design, this paper extracts the haptic information requirements in the process of virtual reality interaction through market analysis and user research, and sorts them by priority. On this basis, a design scheme of a split-type haptic interaction glove combining a fingertip haptic module with a dorsal hand control unit is proposed. Adopting a modular structure, the scheme realizes haptic feedback functions such as interaction confirmation, event prompt and navigation guidance, which improves wearing comfort and operational freedom while ensuring haptic perceptibility, and provides a reference for the lightweight design of virtual reality haptic interaction products.

This paper analyzes the aesthetic mechanisms of Chinese underground idol performances. Underground idols deliberately maintain technical "incompleteness" to create gaps for audience interaction. From the perspectives of "open work" and "reterritorialization", the study shows how audiences appropriate localized practices—such as supporting idols using regional dialects—to reinterpret foreign texts. These practices transform flaws and gaps in the performance into points of intervention, injecting regional identity and emotion into the live experience. As a result, the traditional one-way spectator model shifts toward a collaboratively co-constructed performance, revealing audience agency in cross-cultural communication and the construction of youth identity.

This paper addresses four core research questions: How do Shakespeare and Lu Xun employ unreliable narration? Why the characters' madness are reliable? What is the relationship between madness and the society? How do the unreliable narrators revealing truth–function as social critique? To answer these questions, the research employs an integrated theoretical framework, adopting Foucault's Madness and Civilization for historical power analysis, Booth's unreliable narration theory for rhetorical strategy examination, and Margolin's narrative reliability model for analyzing the contest. These three theories complete each other and make a complete approach to connect readers and the contests. In fact, Shakespeare and Lu Xun both use unreliable narration to break through the traditional thoughts about literature works, everything the author mentions should be the truth, and express social truths that were hard to face directly with rational language. Hamlet's feigned madness in Hamlet and the Madman's delusions in A Madman's Diary—though factually untrustworthy on the surface—prove profoundly credible channels for social criticism. This study illustrates how madness narratives help readers to understand social criticism and enhance the text's ideological impact. It is that the characters' words are not reliable in the surface pushes readers to think about the deeper meanings with the contests, to find the authors' social criticism by themselves.

The Dazu Rock Carvings in Chongqing, China, represent a unique confluence of artistic innovation, religious practice, and socio-cultural continuity from the Late Tang through the Southern Song periods and into the present day. This study investigates the carvings' stylistic evolution through five principal typologies—monumental narrative reliefs, votive niches, lay feast shrines, protective deity niches, and hybrid forms—each revealing shifts in religious expression, political context, and community engagement. By applying iconographic and spatial analysis, the paper explores how visual culture functioned as a tool for moral instruction, social cohesion, and identity construction. Framed within the broader discourse of cultural sustainability, the study also considers how contemporary digital technologies—such as 3D scanning and virtual preservation—contribute to the safeguarding and revitalization of this living heritage for future generations.

This study aims to explore the construction and rendering of fate tragedy in ancient Greek drama through a comparative textual analysis of Aeschylus' Prometheus Bound and Sophocles' Oedipus the King. Centering on the contrasting prophetic identities of the two protagonists, Prometheus as the prophet of fate and Oedipus as its recipient, the study analyzes the multidimensional construction of fate tragedy in these two plays. The research identifies three core shared elements (the chorus, analogous character role structures, and bodily harm depictions) and elaborates on how the two playwrights employ these elements to intensify the tragic effect of fate. Additionally, it examines modern performance and adaptation practices of the two classic tragedies, probing the modern re-staging, reinterpretation and re-intensification of fate tragedy as a dramatic motif. The findings reveal the sophisticated mechanisms of fate tragedy construction in the two works and provide new insights for the contemporary re-examination and aesthetic reception of ancient Greek fate tragedy.

This study examines George Kin Leung's translation thought through his English translation of Su Manshu's Duanhong Lingyan Ji, a work hailed as "the first successful Chinese novel of the early Republican period" and published in English as The Lone Swan. Although Leung has received scholarly attention for his role in the overseas dissemination of Chinese drama and for his English translation of Lu Xun, this translation remains largely neglected. Combining contextual inquiry with close textual analysis, the study investigates the motives, principles, and strategies that shaped Leung's translation practice. It argues that his translation was driven by four main motives: personal affinity with Su Manshu, identification with the novel's spiritual and autobiographical dimensions, the pedagogical value of translation as English-learning material in the 1920s, and the translator's professional self-positioning. These motives were embodied in a guiding principle of "accuracy, clarity, and beauty" and in a strategy centered on literal translation, supplemented by free translation as well as such techniques as omission, addition, and explicitation. The translation thus reflects early Chinese translators' exploration of Yan Fu's translation theory of "faithfulness, expressiveness, and elegance" while highlighting Leung's multiple roles as an interpreter, educator, and cultural mediator.

Since the 1980s, international financial monopoly capital has adopted neoliberalism as a pragmatic tool in political games and an ideological instrument for unifying public opinion. This has allowed a certain number of private operators to extend their control over the broadest possible range of social resources and structures, thereby achieving the optimal solution for individual interests. In contrast, the vulnerability of the lives of the poor and weak at the bottom of the wealth pyramid has intensified day by day. When the logic of capital pushes beyond ethics and law to an extreme, it gives rise to the deformed state of necrocapitalism. Necrocapitalism, the deep pathological dilemma of the neoliberal civilizational body, is depicted in meticulous detail in The Pecari Project and Myanmar North Horror. Both narratives point to the power-money manipulations by some ruling "financial sponsors" in Guatemala and northern Myanmar who stop at nothing to seize profits and disregard the lives of others. Through in-depth exploration of key content and nuanced‌ dissection of core logic, this paper analyzes the connections between neoliberalism, necrocapitalism, and the specific social contexts in the stories from three philosophical dimensions: Butler's spiritual anesthesia of "frameworks implicitly guiding the interpretation", Agamben's "bare life" stripped of all human rights and expectations, and Foucault's "disciplinary power produced by the growth of capitalist economy". It further uses its antithesis, "socialism of life", to examine how the authors in the stories strive to restore the ethics and morality of communal life, and how such efforts support the practice of power and capital serving life and public welfare rather than excessive profits and private desires.

Against the backdrop of globalization and digital transformation, enhancing the capacity of urban foreign affairs governance has become a critical pathway for Xi'an to develop as an inland-oriented open city. Focusing on the youth population in Xi'an—including university students, international students, and foreign-related entrepreneurs—this study identifies key challenges in existing foreign affairs services, such as fragmented information, passive response mechanisms, and a lack of participatory engagement. To address these issues, the study innovatively introduces a Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) neural network model. By analyzing core features such as historical visa volumes and the number of exchange programs, the model achieves high-precision time-series forecasting of foreign affairs service demand, with a short-term prediction accuracy of 95.2%, thereby providing a scientific basis for an intelligent, demand-driven service supply mechanism. Drawing on the practical experiences of Chengdu's Application Scenario Laboratory and Shanghai's "One Map" spatiotemporal governance model, this paper proposes a closed-loop framework for constructing a "youth-friendly" digital platform for foreign affairs services. The framework recommends integrating mobile access through a unified "Foreign Affairs Code", establishing a collaborative governance mechanism among government, universities, enterprises, and youth, and leveraging blockchain technology to record youth contributions to foreign affairs activities. This approach facilitates a paradigm shift from "users seeking services" to "services reaching users". This study aims to promote a profound transformation of Xi'an's foreign affairs governance from experience-based administration to data-driven and intelligent governance, thereby effectively unleashing youth potential and enhancing the city's developmental momentum.
