一 | 据知情人士透露，1月10日，彭博社报道，优步和Lyft尚未收到美国证券监管机构就其秘密提交IPO文件的反馈。

二 | 两家公司的IPO文件受到美国政府停牌的影响，到目前为止还没有后续行动。早些时候，美国总统特朗普就南部边境墙问题进行的谈判导致美国政府部分关闭，从而减少了证券交易委员会（SEC）的可用资源。这一事件导致SEC推迟了IPO文件的处理。Uber和Lyft这两家出租车公司是致命的竞争对手。

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."
。他们的上市可能创造今年最大的两家IPO。知情人士表示，他们相信，政府的关闭可能会减缓IPO进程，这取决于美国证券交易委员会何时重新开放以及它做出的具体回应。优步和Lyft都在寻求今年上半年的IPO。两家公司的发言人均拒绝置评。美国证券交易委员会表示，它鼓励提交公司在交易结束前与他们联系，以加快交易进程。据了解，美国政府的关闭导致数十万名政府雇员休假或免费工作，这可能对各种规模的交易产生影响。
