The recording, which came out in July, marks an important moment for a new generation of Chinese artists. Deutsche Grammophon signed Ju earlier this year. The label has previously worked with well-known Chinese pianists including Li Yundi, Lang Lang and Yuja Wang. Ju's arrival raises a different question: What will younger musicians, trained both in China and the West, bring to classical music? The album features works by Leoš Janácek, Maurice Ravel and Alexander Scriabin. The physical edition also includes three of Ju's own poems. The title Mist Without draws on the German idea of Weltschmerz, a feeling of world-weariness, and the Chinese tradition of misty, suggestive poetry. Ju uses wu, the Chinese character for mist, to create a quieter and more reflective mood. The centerpiece of the album is Janácek's piano suite In the Mists. "Poetry and piano are equal parts of my experiences," Ju said in a recent interview with the Global Times. "When I work on a single note or a phrase at the keyboard, it feels exactly like shaping a sentence - counting the syllables, weighing the rhythm, choosing the words." For Ju, playing the piano is less a profession than a form of daily discipline. "It is stricter than many formal religions," he said. Now in his mid-20s, Ju previously studied at the Juilliard School in New York before continuing his training in Germany. His approach, rooted in China yet open to the world, reflects a generation of Chinese musicians increasingly comfortable moving between cultures. For Ju, that movement between cultures is not necessarily something that needs to be explained. "Culture can be learned," Ju said. He hears a deep kinship between turn-of-the-century France and ancient China: "To me, so much of [Claude] Debussy's late work feels like Tang Dynasty (618-907) poetry." Western critics have already taken notice of Ju's distinctive style. In a 2024 review of his Carnegie Hall recital, New York Concert Review wrote that he "shines in the magic of the understated, pulling us into his psychological stillness." British critic Jed Distler, writing in Gramophone, praised his sensitive understanding of Janácek's music. Having grown up navigating multiple languages and later pursuing training abroad, Ju sees cultural boundaries less as barriers than as things to move through. "Unlike before, we can now present Eastern ideas not as a deliberate statement, but as something entirely natural and self-assured," he said. Ju does not present Mist Without as a grand statement. "It is simply the first step in creating recordings that carry personal thought rather than polished display," he said. Asked what AI might bring to classical music, Ju was unequivocal. "If what you care about is the relationship between music and people, AI cannot provide that," he said. "AI represents the perfection of human intelligence. Art shows human nature - its desires, its light and its darkness. Music is about human imperfection." 。
标准规定了汽车密码应用技术要求及同一型式判定，并描述了相应的试验方法。其中最核心的要求之一是安全启动密码应用，车辆需通过密码技术确保在上电或重启过程中加载的软件组件真实、完整、可信，防止固件、引导程序、操作系统或关键应用软件被非法篡改、替换或伪造后运行。换言之，车辆每次上电启动时，软件系统都要先过一道“密码验真”关卡，逐级校验各层启动组件的合法性，任何一层被篡改都将被拦截。测试方法也相当硬核，测试人员需依次尝试替换固件、引导程序、操作系统、关键应用软件等启动组件镜像，上电启动车辆，检测车辆系统是否具备逐级安全启动校验流程。该标准还涵盖车载软件升级（OTA）场景，要求车辆使用车载软件升级系统进行软件升级时，应采用密码技术对升级包进行真实性和完整性验证，确保升级过程中不被注入恶意代码。标准适用于指导、规范汽车整车及零部件产品密码应用的设计、开发、测试验证，涵盖总体框架、通用要求、安全要求等内容。据悉，此次强制性国标的出台，意味着汽车软件安全将从“企业自律”迈向“强制合规”，未来所有在中国市场销售的车型都必须满足密码应用技术要求。
