　　Can't find

Mr. Teng insisted, “This is not the same thing at all. That is the Chinese People’s Artists Association. Our association does not start with the word “China”, but we belong to the leadership of the Central Xinhua News Agency, including the People’s Literature and Art News, People's Literature and Art Network is a formal and legal organization."

　　Baidu search shows that the People’s Artists’ Association is composed of state-level artists, calligraphers, and film makers. The former Banyuetan editor-in-chief of the Central Xinhua News Agency, Lin Shuangmou, etc., served as honorary consultants, dedicated to organizing, planning, and coordinating national literature, For the investigation, collection, protection, and inheritance of art and folk culture, the headquarters of the association is in Beijing, and the business department is in Rizhao, but there is no introduction by the supervisor or organizer in its articles of association.

　　dialogue

　　Lin Hongzhan: Less activities in the association

　　So I haven't "disturbed" the civil affairs department

　　Beiqing Daily: What promotion methods does the association have for members?

　　Lin Hongzhan: We are based in Rizhao, Shandong.

There is a monthly magazine "People's Literature and Art News", but it does not pay the authors of the paper, and also does not charge them to publish the paper. It is only to help the members of the association to promote it.

In addition to the "People's Literature and Art News", my political media group also founded the People's Literature and Art Network and the Political Media Network. These platforms can display personal images and promote the content of works for members of the People's Literature and Art Association.

　　Beiqing Daily: In the query column of the periodical/journal agency on the official website of the National Press and Publication Administration, enter the issue number "ISSN2414-7923" of "People's Literature and Art News" to query, but the result shows "no data yet"?

　　Lin Hongzhan: We use the international issue number, so we can't publicly subscribe to the public. We can only give it to the more than 10,000 members of the People's Artists Association for free.

　　Beiqing Daily: It costs 580 yuan to apply for the membership card of the "People's Artists Association". The membership scale of more than 10,000 people is not a small amount.

　　Lin Hongzhan: We wrote very clearly on the Internet. For membership cards, the cost is 380 yuan nationwide, and we use this money for the promotion of members' works on the platform.

In this case you mentioned, it may be that the people below charge extra introduction fees.

This kind of situation is not allowed by our association. The price is clearly marked, and it is not allowed to charge arbitrarily or violate the rules and regulations.

　　Beiqing Daily: Why can’t I find relevant information about the association on the official website of the Civil Affairs Department?

　　Lin Hongzhan: The association was registered in Hong Kong more than ten years ago. Under normal circumstances, the chairman of the board of directors is elected every four years. I have been re-elected as the executive chairman of the association for 6 years.

Due to the tight funding, there are no activities to do several times throughout the year, so the local civil affairs department has not been "alarmed".

In the past few years, the government has imposed strict controls on non-governmental organizations, and it is not allowed to engage in activities involving arbitrary fees by relying on the prefix "State".

This kind of regulation has been under high pressure, so it is very difficult for us to survive.
