  The most beautiful twins


  China synchronized swimming Jiang sisters


  Chongqing Evening News reported on August 19th.The biggest advantage of twin competition is that the tacit understanding is quite high, and Jiang Wenwen/Jiang Tingting of China Synchronized Swimming Team is the most typical example. They were born on September 25th, 1986. Their elder sister Jiang Wenwen was born half an hour earlier than her younger sister Jiang Tingting, but her height was one centimeter shorter than her younger sister.


  The flower-swimming sisters are like an inseparable union, and their every move is very similar in life. At the Olympic Games, their coach, Masaya Inomura, Japan’s "Flower Tour Godmother", arranged a beautiful and moving "Spirit of Sparrow" for them, which will become the "killer weapon" for the two sisters to attack the Olympic medals.


  China Olympic Corps is not only a pair of twins, Jiang Wenwen/Jiang Tingting, but also a pair of twin sisters, Zhang Wei/yu zhang of China women’s basketball team, both of whom are 1.84 meters tall, and both of them have been selected for the China women’s basketball team. In addition, Duan Junjie/Duan Junqing, a kayak group in China, are also twin brothers.

After the first round of synchronized technical optional movements, anastasia davydova/ermakova, the Olympic and World Champion of Russian team, ranked first with 49.334 points, while Jiang Wenwen/Jiang Tingting of China ranked fourth with 48.084 points.


  What is even more amazing is that on the first day of the competition, three teams sent "sister flowers" to participate. In addition to China’s twins Jiang Wenwen and Jiang Tingting, there are also two New Zealand sisters Nina, 26? Daniels and Lisa, 23? Daniels, and Bianca, a twin group in the Netherlands? Van der Feilden and Sonia? Van der Feilden.

  The most golden twins


  Slovak kayak Hodgshuna brothers


  On the 15th, the two brothers won the gold medal in canoeing and slalom men’s double rowing in Beijing Olympic Games.


  As the Hodgshuna brothers have already won the gold medals in the Sydney and Athens Olympic Games, they have become the twins with the most gold medals in Olympic history. The Hodgshuna brothers were born on September 7, 1979, but from the outside, they are nothing like twins, because the elder brother is 10 centimeters taller than the younger brother and weighs 9 kilograms.


  Twins with the highest academic qualifications


  American rowing Winklevoss brothers


  Cameron, the 26-year-old twin brother of American rowing? Winklevoss and Taylor? Winklevoss, selected for the American rowing training team, will compete for the gold medal in men’s synchronized rowing at the Beijing Olympic Games. They won the World Championship trophy in 2004.

  The most famous twins


  American tennis Bryan brothers


  In the Olympic tennis men’s doubles competition that ended on the 16th, the Bryan brothers won the bronze medal. It is not easy to distinguish them from each other by their looks, but it is not difficult to distinguish the two brothers on the court, because the elder brother holds the racket with his right hand and the younger brother holds the racket with his left hand.


  The two brothers were born on April 29th, 1978. They not only have the same face, but also share the same e-mail address, the same bank account and the same coach. They not only won the men’s doubles championship in tennis Grand Slam for many times, but also shared the number one doubles ranking in the world.

Sowing Green Seeds to Build a Beautiful China

  CCTV News:Green is the background color of beautiful China, and it is also the color of high-quality development. Since the 18th CPC National Congress, China has planted 1.02 billion mu of trees. The forest coverage rate has increased from 21.63% ten years ago to 24.02% today. China ranks first in the world in plantation area. A tree, a piece of forest, grows green mountains and Jinshan Yinshan that belong to everyone, and draws an updated picture of beautiful China.

  Go to the spring together and plant a piece of green.

  Supporting seedlings, cultivating soil and watering … … These two days, in Hebei, Shanxi, Gansu, Yunnan and other parts of the country, people have participated in tree planting activities and carefully planted seedlings. With the joint efforts of people, there is a vibrant scene everywhere.

  Fan Qingxin, a villager from Tianjianhao Village, Beijiabi Township, Ci County, Hebei Province:In the past, this area was all barren hills and mountains. Later, we have been planting trees for many years, including pine, cypress and apricot. Now we are replanting. Look at this green tree. It is in a good mood. It has changed the environment and is in a very good mood.

  Not long ago, the Bulletin on the State of Land Greening in China in 2022 was officially released. Data show that in 2022, 3.83 million hectares of afforestation, 3.214 million hectares of grass improvement and 1.8473 million hectares of land for desertification and rocky desertification control were completed nationwide. After continuously promoting afforestation, China’s land greening has achieved remarkable results.

  In the past decade, China has added more than 22 million hectares of forests, contributing a quarter of the world’s new forest area. 24.02%, which is the forest coverage rate of China today.

  Wu Xiuli, First Inspector of Ecological Protection and Restoration Department of National Forestry and Grassland Administration:Look at this picture. Ten years ago, especially in the northwest, a large area was relatively yellow. But ten years later, after continuous promotion of land greening and afforestation, it is obvious from this picture that the northwest has increased a lot of green, such as Shanxi, Inner Mongolia, Gansu and Ningxia.

  In the past ten years, China has insisted on promoting the great development of land greening, protecting natural forests, returning farmland to forests and grasslands, and shelterbelts in the three north areas, and the quantity and quality of afforestation have gone hand in hand. Adhere to the overall planning of urban and rural greening, and build a large number of national forest cities and forest villages. Deepen reform and innovation, and improve the system and mechanism of planting and protecting green. In Beihai, Guangxi, through the implementation of mangrove afforestation and restoration protection, the species of marine benthos increased from 66 to 206, and the species of birds increased from 136 to 195, and the biodiversity became more and more abundant.

  Nowadays, China’s land greening has changed from focusing on quantity to paying equal attention to quality and quantity. In addition to considering people’s lives and health, high-quality greening is also reflected in creating "greenery that benefits the people more". In August last year, the value realization of carbon reduction products in Saihanba, Hebei Province and the signing ceremony of credit granting by financial institutions were held. Twelve enterprises purchased carbon reduction products from eight units, including Saihanba Machinery Forest Farm, and realized value conversion of 24,605,900 yuan.

  People live up to the castle peak, and the castle peak will live up to people. In today’s China, the area of economic forest is about 700 million mu. In 2021, the per capita output value of economic forest employees reached 19,000 yuan. Persevere in promoting land greening, make green mountains and green rivers more beautiful, and make Jinshan Yinshan bigger. Planting green is planting people’s livelihood and well-being.

  Haidong, Qinghai: It’s just the right time to plant trees and green the Yellow River in spring.

  Recently, in Qunke New District, Hualong County, Haidong City, Qinghai Province, more than 2,100 people of all ethnic groups jointly launched a voluntary tree planting activity this spring on the banks of the rippling Yellow River. Tens of thousands of saplings have become contiguous on the banks of the blue Yellow River through the steps of supporting seedlings, cultivating soil and watering. It is understood that a total of 614,000 trees were planted in this spring voluntary tree planting activity. The consciousness of "planting green, loving green, protecting green, increasing green and promoting green" is more and more deeply rooted in people’s hearts.

  Liu Daomin: Retire and plant trees in his hometown for 10 years, and put green clothes on the barren hills in his hometown.

  Afforestation and greening are beneficial to the present and the future. With the dream of "putting green clothes on the barren hills in his hometown", 71-year-old Liu Daomin retired ten years ago and returned to his hometown to contract barren hills and take out his retirement salary to plant trees. Ten years have passed, and the trees he planted, such as Platycladus orientalis and Ligustrum lucidum, have been continuously sliced, reaching more than 3,000 mu, and 150,000 trees have survived. He said, I will keep working as long as my body allows.

  In April, Qingtianhe Village in Jiaozuo City, Henan Province, was full of greenery and flowers. It is hard to imagine that it was a barren hill and a barren hill a few years ago.

  Liu Daomin, a voluntary tree planter in Qingtianhe Village, Zhaihuo Township, Bo ‘ai County, Jiaozuo City, Henan Province:In the barren hills in the north, trees are planted every year, but no trees are seen. My ancestral home is Qingtianhe Village. After retiring in 2013, I went back to the village and saw vast tracts of barren hills, but there were still not many trees, which was very unpleasant. So I made up my mind to contract barren hills and plant trees to beautify the environment.

  However, it is not easy to open green forests on barren hills. This barren mountain belongs to the category of national public welfare forest, and only trees can be planted, which means that there is no income except ecological benefits. However, Liu Daomin, who has worked in forestry all his life, still contracted 313 hectares of barren hills in one breath.

  Liu Daomin, a voluntary tree planter in Qingtianhe Village, Zhaihuo Township, Bo ‘ai County, Jiaozuo City, Henan Province:At first, I came back to contract for planting trees in barren hills, including my family, including my neighbors, and I didn’t understand.

  Liu Daomin’s wife Wang Dianxiu:You should be happy when you retire, and it’s time to think about going home to rest.

  Feng Tao, a villager from Qingtianhe Village, Zhaihuo Township, Boai County, Jiaozuo City, Henan Province:It is not worthwhile for him to invest all his retirement salary in this barren mountain.

  He Xiuhong, a villager from Qingtianhe Village, Zhaihuo Township, Bo ‘ai County, Jiaozuo City, Henan Province:Nobody understands.

  Liu Daomin, a voluntary tree planter in Qingtianhe Village, Zhaihuo Township, Bo ‘ai County, Jiaozuo City, Henan Province:I was born in this village, the village head’s. I was the only one recommended to go to college in 1975 (in the village). I have been engaged in forestry all my life, and after I retire, I just came back to repay my parents for their kindness to me.

  Liu Daomin took out a pension of 60,000 yuan and built a 300 cubic meter forest fire pool, which solved the problem of water use for tree planting. Liu Daomin, who is 70 years old, often works in the mountains for a day.

  Liu Daomin, a voluntary tree planter in Qingtianhe Village, Zhaihuo Township, Bo ‘ai County, Jiaozuo City, Henan Province:Bring some instant noodles and some water. Usually you leave at 7: 30 in the morning and don’t come back until 5: 30 in the afternoon. There are several varieties on this hillside, this is Platycladus orientalis, this is Ligustrum lucidum, and further ahead are Sophora japonica and Luan tree.

  Liu Daomin, a voluntary tree planter in Qingtianhe Village, Zhaihuo Township, Bo ‘ai County, Jiaozuo City, Henan Province:This tree is the first Platycladus orientalis planted by myself in 2013. Now it is nearly three meters long, exceeding the surrounding shrubs. Our area is a rocky mountainous area, with many stones and thin soil layer. When a pickaxe goes down, there are stones all over it, so you have to change places, and you must find a place with soil and gaps to plant trees. Its soil layer is too thin to store roots. Planting a tree may dig three pits, and only one pit can be used.

  The local forestry department also actively strives for financial assistance from policies. From 2013 to now, it has won a total of 3,960 mu of afforestation projects and more than 1.2 million yuan of higher subsidies for Liu Daomin. In the past ten years, Liu Daomin has led us to build 135 hectares of ecological forest in mountainous areas, and successfully built a green barrier on the east bank of Daqing Lake in Qingtian River.

  Liu Daomin, a voluntary tree planter in Qingtianhe Village, Zhaihuo Township, Bo ‘ai County, Jiaozuo City, Henan Province:Planting one more tree is just another joy. As long as my body allows, as long as I can do it, I will keep working. People’s life is very short, and I am not seeking fame or profit, but also leaving a shade for the descendants of Qingtian River.

  Guarding the mountains is only to care for this piece of green.

  There is such a group of people who live in the mountains all the year round, are friends with plants and are almost isolated from the world. They get up early and get greedy for the dark, guarding all the year round, just to keep the green mountains and green rivers. They are the rangers known as the "forest eyes" and "greenguard". Next, we will approach several forest rangers together to listen to their stories of guarding the green mountains and rivers for ten years.

  Ranger Lai Zhirong:My name is Lai Zhirong, and I am a ranger in the service center of Shuisonglin Nature Reserve. Because I grew up here, I have great feelings for Pinus tabulaeformis. By chance, I saw the job of recruiting a ranger and applied for it. I didn’t expect it to be 11 years.

  Liuxiang District, Bai Jiao Town, Doumen, Zhuhai, Guangdong Province, has the largest contiguous area of Pinus tabulaeformis planted artificially in the world. Pinus tabulaeformis, known as the living fossil of plants, is listed as a rare species by the World Conservation Monitoring Center. However, in recent years, due to soil erosion, water pollution and other reasons, the number of tipping has decreased sharply. In order to protect this pine forest, Lai Zhirong is basically on standby 24 hours a day.

  Ranger Lai Zhirong:Our usual job is to patrol the protected area. If anyone is found to cut down trees and hunt wild animals indiscriminately, we should stop and report them in time. On the first and fifteenth day of the high tide, floating garbage and silt will accumulate on the island, and weeds entangled in trees will grow quickly, so we should clean them up in time.

  This year is Lai Zhirong’s 11th year as a ranger. In his view, the most important thing to be a ranger is to be able to withstand loneliness.

  Ranger Lai Zhirong:When I was patrolling, I saw those small crabs climbing trees and flocks of egrets, and I felt that my efforts were worth it.

  There is also such a person in Dafengshan Forest Farm, Changqing District, Jinan City, Shandong Province. For more than 20 years, he has been silently guarding 13,000 mu of forest. He is Zhang Chuanlin, the ranger of Dafengshan Forest Farm in Jinan. Wearing camouflage clothes, picking up binoculars, wearing a walkie-talkie around her waist and carrying an observation book, this is Zhang Chuanlin’s daily wardrobe.

  Ranger Zhang Chuanlin:When traveling, there are so many people going into the Great Wall of Qi that I have to go up and walk around it every day. Tourists (people) who smoke are afraid that the cigarette butts thrower will leave, and they don’t know if they are on fire, so they have to turn around every day.

  A tree and a forest, burning with changes, also tells the harmonious symbiosis between man and nature. Mayanghe National Nature Reserve, located in Guizhou Province, is the habitat of langur, a national first-class protected wild animal. Xiao Zhijin is a ranger in the nature reserve. Since 1989, he has been guarding the langur here for 34 years. 

  Ranger Xiao Zhijin:All the tourists and the people here like to throw food, and we are now strongly stopping it. Because our langur is a wild animal, the food it eats is the tender branches and buds of flowers and fruits, not the big wine and big meat that ordinary people want to eat, so we will intensify our efforts to stop it and forbid anyone to put food near our langur.

  In order to make the langur population grow and develop healthily, Xiao Zhijin has formed a deep affection with these monkey babies. According to statistics, at present, the population of the local langur has reached 72 groups and 550.

  Ranger Xiao Zhijin:We will resolutely stop, crack down on and protect our original natural ecological environment in our protected areas.

  Fujian Jiangle: Qingshan changes "Jinshan" and "carbon ticket" into dowry

  Qingshan has a face value, and green trees have value. In Changkou Village, Jiangle County, Sanming City, Fujian Province, the most popular saying in the village now is that the air here can "sell money". Since receiving the first forestry carbon ticket in China, it has been called the first village of "carbon ticket" in China. The most fashionable dowry of the villagers is the forestry carbon ticket left by his father. So what exactly is a carbon ticket? How much is the air? Let’s go to Changkou Village to have a look on the spot.

  In the past few days, a unique canoe paddle marathon opened in Changkou Village, Jiangle County, Sanming City. More than 100 players from home and abroad braved the wind and waves on the green Jinxi River. The mountains here are green and the waters are blue, making it an excellent choice for water sports. Many canoeing teams from all over the country have moved their winter training bases here for many years.

  Yu Wei, coach of the canoeing team in Fushun City, Liaoning Province:Look at this water. This place is two or three meters deep and can be seen to the end. It is very clear. And look at this mountain. It’s normally oily and green, with a large forest coverage. We have experienced it personally, and our running results here are very good.

  This piece of green mountains and green waters is the business card of Changkou Village and the treasure of the villagers. It is not easy to protect this mountain forest. More than 30 years ago, the development of Changkou village was seriously limited because of its many forests and little land. The income of the village collective was only more than 20,000 yuan. At that time, a chopsticks factory came to the door to cut down this forest in the village, and the asking price was more than 200 thousand. Some villagers were really moved, but they stopped when they thought that "green mountains and green waters are priceless" repeatedly mentioned in the village rules and regulations.

  Zhang Linshun, Party Secretary of Changkoulian Village, Jiangle County, Sanming City, Fujian Province:Most of this mountain is near the cliff. If it is cut down, it may not grow back or grow.

  It was from that time that this mountain forest was not only unable to be cut down, but also protected and diversified. At the same time, Changkou Village divides the mountain forests into ecological public welfare forests and commercial forests, among which the ecological public welfare forests are forbidden to be cut down, and the commercial forests must be measured appropriately. Today, the forest coverage rate of Changkou Village has reached 92%. With this mountain forest, Changkou Village received the first forestry "carbon ticket" in China. The "carbon ticket" is based on the increment of forest growth, converted into carbon emission reduction, and then distributed in the form of "ticket", thus turning "air" into real money that can be traded, stored and loaned.

  Sun Guiying, a villager from Changkou Village, Jiangle County, Sanming City:Because air can sell money, it is still a very good thing to protect green mountains and rivers.

  Carbon tickets have also become the most fashionable and proud dowry of the villagers in Changkou.

  Jiangle County, Sanming City, Fujian ProvinceZhang Hui, bride of Changkou Village:At that time, he (father) said that the best thing he could give me was this piece of green water and green mountains, and then passed it on to me.

  Deng Wanfu, Party Branch Secretary of Changkou Village, Jiangle County, Sanming City, Fujian Province:Take the path of ecological industry well, so that it can really accumulate more wealth for our future generations. Have confidence and responsibility, make the blue sky bluer, the green hills greener and the green water greener.

  [CCTV Short Comment] Let everyone contribute to this painting.

  Love for planting trees is an ancient tradition in Chinese. Our ancestors wrote the concept of harmonious coexistence and common prosperity and symbiosis between man and forest in ancient books more than 2,000 years ago: Chidao in the Qin Dynasty and the Grand Canal in the Sui Dynasty, with trees forbidden to be cut down on the roadside and shore; Our words, our poems, praise and respect for trees continue to this day; The way we live has always longed for "two orioles singing green willows" and "north of me, south of me, spring is in flood". It is our ancient consensus to cultivate, love and cherish trees. In the new era, we examine the forest map from the height of ecological civilization, concentrate the energy of construction in the concept of high-quality development, and cultivate green temperament in the distinctive characteristics of Chinese modernization. Let the trees grow, let the forest relax, let the home be beautiful and the happiness of our life be deeply rooted. This is a beautiful vision and a firm strategy. Let each of us contribute to this beautiful picture of Danqing. 

  It’s just the right time to plant green early in spring.

  Spring returns to the earth, everything recovers, and planting trees to add green is just the time. Chinese wrote the answer sheet of the largest growth of forest resources and the largest area of artificial afforestation in the world. At the end of the program, let’s walk into the green China with green hills and no ink.

News observation: the central bank’s response to hot issues involves social financing and credit data in the first quarter.

  CCTV News:On April 18th, the State Council Press Office held a press conference to introduce the financial operation and foreign exchange receipts and payments in the first quarter of 2024. How to understand that the M2 broad money balance exceeds 300 trillion yuan? Does the decline in social financing and credit data in the first quarter reflect weak demand? The relevant person in charge of the central bank responded to these hot issues.

  Zou Lan: It is a reflection of financial support for the real economy.

  Data show that at the end of March, the balance of broad money M2 was 304.8 trillion yuan, up 8.3% year-on-year.

For a long time in the past, China’s economy maintained a high-speed growth, the economic volume continued to increase, and the accumulation of enterprise capital and residents’ assets accelerated, all of which would bring about an increase in money demand.

  Industry: Money supply and economy are matched.

  According to industry insiders, China has always adhered to a prudent monetary policy, and has not engaged in flood irrigation. In recent years, the overall money supply has been in line with economic growth and the needs of the real economy.

  Revitalizing these stock currencies will become a policy force point.

  How to revitalize this 300 trillion stock currency, provide further support for the development of the real economy, and support the key areas and weak links of the real economy will become the point of policy force.

  Zhu Hexin: The previous monetary policy has achieved results.

  Zhu Hexin, deputy governor of the People’s Bank of China and director of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange, said that at present, a series of monetary policies have achieved good results.

  Zhu Hexin said that a series of monetary policy measures introduced in the early stage are gradually playing a role, and the national economy has continued to pick up and made a good start. In the future, there is still room for monetary policy. We will closely observe the policy effect, economic recovery and target realization, and make good use of the reserve policy at the right time.

  The RMB exchange rate has a foundation and conditions to remain stable.

  The data shows that recently, affected by external shocks, the exchange rate of RMB against the US dollar has fluctuated, and the RMB has remained stable against a basket of currencies, and has appreciated to some extent.

  Create a suitable monetary and financial environment for economic improvement

  Insiders said that to stabilize the economic recovery, it is necessary to maintain counter-cyclical adjustment. In terms of monetary policy, it is necessary to strengthen countercyclical adjustment according to the economic operation situation, and comprehensively use interest rates, reserves, refinancing and other tools to create a suitable monetary and financial environment for economic recovery.

IOS System Guide: What is the new "focus mode" and how to use it?

In the era of information explosion, it is a luxury to enjoy a moment of peace. Focus mode can keep users from being disturbed and focused when appropriate. Users only need to choose a focus mode, only receive the notifications they want to see, and they can concentrate on completing their work or enjoying a quiet dinner.

In this article, we will introduce the use and setting of focus mode.

Notification and notification summary provide the choice of notification push form, but they can’t judge the current user’s scene or make specific optimization for the current scene, which is a problem that needs to be solved in the focus mode.

In the past, the "do not disturb mode" function already existed in iOS. However, turning on "do not disturb mode" can only let the system know that the user is in a state where he doesn’t want to be disturbed, but he doesn’t know what the user needs or doesn’t need in this state, so he can’t provide further help. The "focus mode" allows users to tell the system their status by setting a variety of modes, which is from passively not disturbing users toActively help users enter a focused state.A well-meaning upgrade.

Focus mode provides users with the ability to quickly switch between various scene states. Users can adjust the way of pushing notifications according to their different behaviors in each scene, only touch the messages related to the scene in each scene, and try to filter out unimportant notifications.

At the same time, users are allowed to set notification push rules in the process of concentration, which reduces the interference of external information. At the same time, by setting the home screen as a self-defined page, tools frequently used in this scene can be found at a glance, and other applications can be prevented from being disturbed in the process of finding tools, thus forgetting the important things at the moment.

The system is preset with many modes that are often involved in life, such as work, mindfulness, fitness, driving and sleep. You can use these preset modes to quickly create a concentration mode. Even if you don’t create these preset modes, they will appear in the focus mode of the control center in the form of "recommendation". Only when you create it once and then delete it will it not appear in the control center.

When adding the focus mode, the system will guide you in turn in the form of a wizard, and set the notifications and applications allowed in this mode. If special scenes such as fitness, driving and sleeping are added, there will be more related options, such as fitness-physical training, driving-Carplay, sleep-sleep-assisted mode and so on.

Therefore, it is suggested to give priority to the preset mode, so as to obtain settings closer to the scene. It should be noted that the "sleep timing" related to sleep is set by the "Health" application.

If you want to delete a focus mode, click.Settings > focus > focus modeEnter the name into the specific focus mode setting, and you can find the "Delete Focus Mode" button at the bottom. Do not disturb mode, as a basic focus mode, cannot be deleted.

For pre-made or customized focus modes, you can use the.Settings > focusSet the "focus mode" in the.

You can add contacts (or contact groups) who are allowed to call here. The checked contacts can call you normally, and the contacts outside the list will show that the line is busy when contacting you.

IOS also takes into account the "urgent call" and provides the option of "Allow repeated calls". After it is enabled, the same caller will call again within three minutes and will not be muted. This ensures that while avoiding marketing calls, we will not miss some urgent calls.

After the focus mode is turned on, the system will push according to the "notification-allowed application" set in the focus mode. If "Timeliness Notification" is turned on, the notifications related to timeliness will be pushed according to the classification of notification types in the application, but not all of them.

Application notifications in the queue that are no longer allowed to be pushed will be set to "mute" and displayed at the bottom of the notification center. When you end the focus mode, these messages will be returned to the corresponding positions according to the notification settings.

The notification mark of the home screen application can be hidden in the system to avoid the application irrelevant to the current scene or the notification mark from affecting the concentration.

"Custom Page" is a very important function in the focus mode. The system allows users to set whether the main screen page is displayed in different scenes, thus improving the user’s access efficiency to common applications in the focus scene, thus realizing "dedicated screen".

How to plan the college age after 00? The headmaster said this.

  Beijing, Sept. 6 (Yang Yuqi) This year, the "post-00" students collectively entered the university era. Over the past few days, at the opening ceremony of major universities, university presidents’ "first lesson" explained the university spirit to these "post-00" students and taught them the truth of self-cultivation and scholarship.

  What should college students do?

  — — "There should be a responsibility to stand up and do things."

  From Su Shi’s On Chao Cuo to Mozi’s Self-cultivation, in order to teach freshmen the first lesson in 2018, the principals quoted classics and warned every student the way of self-cultivation and scholarship with the wisdom of the ancients.

  In his speech at the opening ceremony, Duan Xianzhong, president of Hunan University, quoted a sentence in the article "Mo Zi cultivate one’s morality", warning students that it takes hard work to learn.

  He said that college students in Hunan should have the tolerance of looking at the world, inherit Zhu Zhixu’s wisdom, learn from the strengths of Europe and the United States, seek truth, pursue Excellence and stop at perfection; There should be a responsibility to stand up and do things. Chu Cai is thriving, striving for peace, rejuvenating China, worrying about the world, and being the first.

  Li Yuanyuan, president of Jilin University, made the same speech at the beginning of school.

  Li Yuanyuan encouraged his students to take reading and learning as the top priority of the university. He used Tao Yuanming’s Miscellaneous Poems: "If you don’t start again in your prime, it’s hard to get up in the morning. Be encouraged in time, and time waits for no one. " In this way, it is important to study hard, to study hard and to be persistent, and there must be no looseness or slackness.

  In addition, he also quoted Su Shi’s famous line "On Chao Cuo": "Those who have made great achievements in ancient times are not only outstanding talents, but also have the will to persevere." Asking students to return to their original position, always carrying forward the spirit of hard work, and encouraging everyone to work hard has always been the "cornerstone" to change their destiny and achieve their dreams in life.

  Lu Jian, the president of Nanjing University, used an ancient passage from "Happy Travel": "There are fish in the north, and their name is Kun. I don’t know how big it is. " He said to the freshmen: "In Nanjing University, you can really feel the joy of stretching and the harvest of growth, find yourself and learn to be adults."

  What kind of person do you want to be?

  — — "Tell the truth, be a real person and seek truth"

  For freshmen who enter the university classroom, how to put moral education and morality first has become a reminder that the principals have been talking about many times.

  Facing more than 3,800 freshmen in Tsinghua University in 2018, President Qiu Yong told the freshmen in his opening speech to "tell the truth, be a real person and seek truth".

  He took Darwin’s book "The Origin of Species" published in 1859 as an example, and talked about Darwin being slandered, still not afraid of rape, and always sticking to his academic point of view. In this way, freshmen are encouraged to pursue truth, reject falsehood and abide by integrity.

  Qiu Yong said: "Honesty is the basic principle that everyone should follow. I hope that students can always tell the truth, be real people, and achieve meaningful lives in the process of pursuing truth. "

  In his speech, Qiu Yong quoted Einstein’s speech in 1931: "If you want to make your life’s work beneficial to mankind, then it is not enough to know only the applied science itself. Caring for people themselves should always be the main goal of all technical struggles. " He took this opportunity to remind a new group of college students to pay attention to humanistic care and fear life.

  Lu Jian, president of Nanjing University, also made suggestions for freshmen’s way of life in his opening speech: "In college, you will face more powerful competitors, and you may encounter more difficulties in the future than expected. You should put forward higher requirements for yourself: strong body and strong mind; Self-study and self-management; Integrate into the collective and be kind to others. Become a college student with more independent personality, healthier body and mind, more active learning and more gregarious actions. "

  How to learn?

  — — "Look at yourself, and learn from the passive to the active"

  Many freshmen are confused about how to become a qualified college student and make achievements in the professional field after bidding farewell to the junior and senior high school classes and entering the university. Don’t worry, the principals taught some learning methods to freshmen at the beginning of the "first lesson".

  On the evening of August 24th, more than 6,000 freshmen of Zhejiang University in 2018 ushered in the opening ceremony. President Wu Zhaohui delivered a speech entitled "Building Excellent Ability of Autonomous Learning".

  He warned freshmen that the first thing to do when they enter the university is to look at themselves, find their inner passion and creativity, get rid of the dependence of traditional learning paths, and turn from "passive learning" to "autonomous learning" to become a college student who loves learning, can learn and can learn.

  Focusing on the topic of autonomous learning, Wu Zhaohui emphasized the importance of autonomous learning to the students. "Zhejiang University advocates the substantive integration of the four classes. Everyone can listen to famous teachers in the first class, engage in scientific research and innovation in the second class, engage in social practice in the third class, and participate in international exchanges in the fourth class."

  Wang Shuguo, president of Xi ‘an Jiaotong University, also encourages freshmen to learn to take the initiative. He suggested that everyone must take an active and positive attitude towards anything, understand it, understand it, and take the initiative to participate in it. This is the basic way to be a man and do things. I hope everyone will try to be an active learner, not a passive receiver.

  South university of science and technology of china, which has always attracted much attention for its innovation, President Chen Shiyi also put forward the suggestion of "building a rich and three-dimensional university life in multiple dimensions" for the students. He encouraged everyone to explore the depth of cognition, broaden their horizons, broaden their minds, hone their will, build the intensity of life, inject the temperature of life, and keep up with the times.

  Moreover, Chen Shiyi encouraged his classmates with the poem "Today is a New Day" by American writer Donna Levin:

  Today, you should know yourself and give yourself enough love and patience.

  Today you will go forward bravely and rush to that brilliant tomorrow! (End)

A growing elf! Test drive lifan 320 new interior version.

  [car home Test Drive] Recently, chongqing lifan Automobile launched a small upgraded model from lifan 320, which was temporarily named as lifan 320 New Interior Edition. As the name implies, the main change of this model must be in the interior. Lifan 320 is positioned in the small car class, where it can be said that it is a strong hand, so to survive or gain more space in it is not only the price on the one hand, but also the practicality and personality on the other. Recently, we had the honor to participate in the test drive meeting of the new interior model in lifan 320, to see what unique weapon this model with widely disputed appearance can survive in the market.




●  Appearance aspect

  The appearance design of lifan 320 is the most controversial point. When you first see it, you will be surprised to find that this car has many similarities with many models. Flat body, vertically designed C-pillar, blackened A-pillar and B-pillar make people think of MINI. But it’s better to learn from it than to imitate it. lifan 320’s exterior design has also incorporated many design concepts of Lifan, such as headlights and air intake grille. Although it looks a little stiff, as a domestic independent brand model, this step still needs to be taken now.

  Lifan 320’s front face design incorporates many sports styles. The honeycomb grille and the curved front machine cover all convey "I am very athletic". The amoeba-like headlights, though novel in design, don’t fit in with its tough overall appearance lines, and even though the low beam lamp is equipped with a lens, it is still illuminated by halogen bulbs instead of xenon lamps. This design seems a bit redundant. If the lens is deleted and then some more practical configurations are added, it may be recognized by more people.

  When you drive a lifan 320 in the downtown area, you will find that you have accumulated a lot of people’s attention, mainly because its design is very similar to the MINI mini, which makes people easily mistake it for that classic model.


Car home chongqing lifan lifan 320 09 Lingxuan Edition EX


  Perhaps the most controversial part of lifan 320 is its side lines, flat body lines and tough cab lines. This design has been used on other models, so when lifan 320 went on the market, many people talked about imitating other models. But imitating others is definitely a good place to learn from, and the ultimate goal of imitation is to find a way of your own. As a regular Lifan automobile, we should improve ourselves through continuous learning and integrate our own characteristics into future products.



  The test drive model is a high-profile model in lifan 320, which is equipped with a chrome-plated door handle, a bumper with the same color on the body, a chrome-plated letterhead, an electric rear wiper and a rear spoiler with LED brake lights. The overall style is very sporty. But I feel that too much chrome decoration is a bit tacky for a model suitable for young people to drive. It is better to add some scratch strips or personalized car logos, which is more attractive to young car buyers.

  It is obvious that lifan 320’s tail design imitates and draws lessons from it, but Lifan did not copy it intact, but added Lifan’s own design, and two round lights formed an oval taillight, especially to explain that lifan 320’s brakes have very high brightness at night and faster response speed, which is very helpful to the driving safety of the car.

  In terms of tires, lifan 320’s new interior version has not made any changes, and it still uses Jiatong 165/70R14 tires. For a car, this equipment may be for the purpose of achieving good fuel economy. Although the size of the tire is small, the design of the wheel hub is very thoughtful. If the size can be increased, I think the visual effect will be better.

Change one  The color matching of the seat has changed.

  Since it is called the new interior version, there will be obvious changes in the interior of the car. After opening the door, it is found that the new interior version of lifan 320 has replaced a brand-new seat color design, which is mainly dark beige with gray. The most remarkable effect of this design is that it gives people a warmer feeling. Although dark beige will not be too dirty in daily use, it is more intimate than black seats.

Change 2 dashboard design is novel and full of sense of technology.

  The next significant change is the dashboard, which has added many popular elements, such as LCD screen and digital speedometer, and it is worth mentioning that the brand-new dashboard looks like Mickey Mouse’s head, with two ears for oil gauge and water thermometer, and a large semicircle in the middle for tachometer and speedometer. When the lights are on, the whole dashboard really looks like Mickey Mouse.

Change three  The sound panel changes greatly.

  The sound control panel has also changed greatly, from the original square design to the smiling face shape composed of circles and curves, but in actual use, it is found that there is no CD player, only USB, AUX interface and radio. At present, most people are still used to using CD, which is not only convenient but also has good sound quality. The main reason why lifan 320 doesn’t have a CD is probably the cost.

  When lifan 320 was just listed, many friends noticed the shape of its door panel. If you look closely, it is actually a funny smiling face, with one big eye and one small eye, and the storage compartment is like a big mouth with a split smile. This design highlights the young characteristics of lifan 320, and it is still rare in China. lifan 320 has also taken a step in innovation.


Car home chongqing lifan lifan 320 09 Lingxuan Edition EX


  As mentioned earlier, the car door panel in lifan 320 is designed with a smiling face. Although it is novel and beautiful, you will obviously find that there is a problem in this design in daily use, that is, the door handle is designed to be in a relatively backward position, which means that you will feel very uncomfortable when you close the door after getting on the bus. Generally, the door closing handle will be set in the middle of the car door, which will make it very convenient to close the door. However, when the lifan 320 is set in a backward position, the arm bending will be awkward.



Car home chongqing lifan lifan 320 09 Lingxuan Edition EX



  Now that you come back to life, you will also find that the lockers on the car doors are not very convenient to use. The slender openings can’t hold wider items, but only some documents or small items. There is no storage compartment on the back door of lifan 320, so it is not considerate to take care of the rear passengers. In fact, these are small parts, and Lifan Automobile still needs to make more efforts in humanized design.


Car home chongqing lifan lifan 320 09 Lingxuan Edition EX


  The glove box also has the same problem. When you open the glove box, you will find some damping, which is very good! However, observing the inside of the glove box, it is found that the space is very small, and the opening device of the glove box occupies one third of the whole space, so it is impossible to place some bulky items.


Car home chongqing lifan lifan 320 09 Lingxuan Edition EX


  As a small car, lifan 320’s interior space is relatively spacious, especially in the head, and even passengers who are about 1.8 meters tall will not feel oppressive. Through experience, it is found that there are some shortcomings in the design of lifan 320’s back seat. The size of the back seat is a little short. Although it is equipped with an adjustable headrest, when the headrest is adjusted to the highest position, the neck will still be put down, and the taller passengers will feel uncomfortable.

  Lifan 320’s trunk has a volume of 300 liters, which is moderate in the class of small cars. It can also be placed in the back seat to expand the cargo space. When the rear seat is laid down, the two buckles of the fixed seat will be exposed, which will directly affect the shape of the loading space, which is more troublesome for carrying some large items.

  In these subtle design aspects, it reflects whether the manufacturer has considered the actual use of the product thoroughly or not. For a newly established brand like Lifan Automobile, it is necessary to constantly improve itself through continuous practice and long-term customer feedback.

●  Test drive part

  Finally, in terms of driving performance, lifan 320 played a sports card at the initial stage of listing, and its imitation and reference object was also MINI Cooper, which mainly played sports and manipulation. First of all, lifan 320 adopts four-wheel independent suspension. This design is relatively rare in the domestic small car class, and it also appears on the model of about 50,000 yuan, which makes everyone curious about this car and wants to see how it performs in handling.


Car home chongqing lifan lifan 320 09 Lingxuan Edition EX


  The characteristic of four-wheel independent suspension is that all four wheels are in a relatively independent state, so that each wheel can separately filter the vibration from the ground and improve the comfort of the vehicle. And it is also better in maneuverability. Through the test drive experience, I feel that lifan 320’s suspension needs to be improved in terms of training. When driving on the road with poor road conditions, the vibration inside the car is more complicated and the noise transmission is not too delicate.

Car home chongqing lifan lifan 320 09 Lingxuan Edition EX


  Lifan 320’s steering wheel size is relatively large for a small car. Although it is made of soft materials, it feels good, but the larger size does not fit its sports style design concept. When we are driving normally, we will slightly shake the steering wheel from side to side and find that there will be a lot of margin.


Car home chongqing lifan lifan 320 09 Lingxuan Edition EX


  When the speed was about 50 km/h through some gentle detours, the body roll of the 320 began to appear, and the side support of the seat was not enough, which could not give people enough confidence, so they could only reduce the speed to alleviate the roll amplitude.


Car home chongqing lifan lifan 320 09 Lingxuan Edition EX

  Lifan 320 is equipped with a 1.3L engine, with a maximum output power of 65KW/6000rpm, a maximum output torque of 110N.m/3000-5000rpm and a top speed of 155km/h.. In actual driving, this 1.3L engine has no problem in propelling lifan 320, and the speed of 1st, 2nd and 3rd gears is relatively fast.

  After the 5th gear is accelerated to 80km/h, it is obvious that the noise of the engine is getting worse. At this time, the tachometer shows 2100rpm, which is reasonable. However, when the vehicle speed rises to 120 km/h, the noise has begun to affect the normal conversation of the people in the car, and it is difficult to fully accelerate at this time.


Car home chongqing lifan lifan 320 09 Lingxuan Edition EX


  Strangely, at the current speed, we only see the driving speed of 2500rpm … 80 km/h is 2100rpm, and 120km/h is only 2500rpm? Is it possible that the speed has increased a lot, but the speed has not changed much? I think there should be something wrong with the dashboard. If so, I hope this is just an individual phenomenon.

Editor’s comment:


  As the main model of Lifan Automobile, lifan 320 bears the efforts and hopes of many people. Although there are still some problems to be improved, the performance of this car is satisfactory on the whole. After all, considering its price of about 50,000 yuan, it is very good to get a fashionable, beautiful and dynamic car.


  At present, the newly-launched lifan 320 new interior model is to meet the needs of consumers by changing itself. In the future, Lifan will also make efforts in the after-sales service network and model innovation, especially to get out of the imitation circle as soon as possible and establish its own characteristics and even brand family characteristics as soon as possible. This is a thorny issue! At the same time, it is also the hope of people who pay attention to their own brands. (Photo, text/Yang Li, car home)

Ten rumors in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression: the Eighth Route Army planted opium on a large scale.

[On August 15th, 1945, Japan announced its unconditional surrender. After eight years of hard fighting, China finally won. However, the people and events in this period of time are gradually out of shape in the reports of future generations. On the occasion of the 69th anniversary of Japan’s surrender, Observer.com specially launched a series of "Ten Rumors of the Anti-Japanese War" to set the record straight. Previously published "Zhang Lingfu, the Top Ten Rumors in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression》、《Sun Liren, the top ten rumors in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, buried the Japanese army alive.》、《Ten rumors of the Anti-Japanese War: "Fishing posts"""and"The chairman’s guard of the top ten rumors of the anti-Japanese war》。 】

In the modern history of China, opium is a scar that can’t be bypassed anyway. It has harmed hundreds of millions of Chinese, and the resulting war has also changed the direction of China’s traditional society. Therefore, today, the vast majority of Chinese, who are sane and law-abiding, will inevitably show an expression of disgust when referring to drugs represented by opium, and then condemn them with a hundred thousand points.

However, with the help of the increasingly developed network platform, the saying that the CPC and the Eighth Route Army were built and built into large-scale planting, selling and encouraging opium consumption, which was originally circulated in academic circles, quickly spread among the people. After reading similar rumors, some readers who are not very rich in historical knowledge can naturally understand the anger in their hearts, but history is really like this?

The origin of rumors

The story that communist party and the Eighth Route Army planted and sold opium first appeared during the Anti-Japanese War. At that time, in order to package its "anti-drug achievements", the Japanese puppet government often organized people to stage a farce of "communist drug trafficking", and then published the news that "opium X was seized and communist X was captured alive" in a certain place in its imperial traitor media. However, during most of the Anti-Japanese War, these reports did not attract much attention from public opinion at that time and later academic circles.

In addition, in recent years, many so-called "old cadres", "old Red Army", "my grandfather", "my great grandfather" and "my second uncle" have appeared on the Chinese Internet, and "witnessed" the communist party Eighth Route Army’s large-scale opium cultivation and trafficking in various places. However, these "testimonies" almost have no exact information about time, place, people, etc., and there are almost no other objective evidences that can be corroborated. Therefore, such "testimonies" are unacceptable to those who are interested in textual research on historical issues. The following "versions" really make the saying that "the Eighth Route Army sells opium on a large scale" a topic worthy of discussion:

First of all, the Diary of Yan ‘an, the masterpiece of the Comintern’s liaison in the CPC Central Committee and the agent of the Soviet Intelligence Department, Peter Buffilovich Vladimirov. In this book, Vladimir said that he not only witnessed the 359th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army harvesting opium in Nanniwan in the 1930s, but also was personally admitted by senior leaders of the Chinese Communist Party such as Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai and Deng Xiaoping. Because of Vrakimilov’s special status, the publication of Yan ‘an Diary immediately caused a sensation in overseas academic circles.

The second statement comes from Xie Juezai Diary. In his diary in 1944, a few days wrote:

"That is, the legal tender for special goods accounts for government revenue … … Do your best. … … I don’t know that his responsibility is to sell black and white to make up for the financial deficit. " (January 18, 1944)

"Interesting words heard at the symposium: … … ‘ There are few multilateral currencies for special goods, and the future will be terrible ’ " (12 March 1944)

"Leading organs to launch a thing, must be very considerate, often a small step error, can make a big fuss among the masses. ‘ Domestic sales of special goods ’ That is an example. " (1944.3.14)

Attentive readers have noticed that a word called "special goods" is mentioned in these diaries. It is said that this "special goods" is opium.

The third statement comes from the document "Interim Measures for the Collection and Management of Tobacco Tax in Huaitaixi County" which is said to have been promulgated and implemented by the Eighth Route Army in July 1945. This document can be seen everywhere on the Internet now, so it is omitted here.

The fourth argument comes from the textual research of a "famous scholar" in mainland China: Zhang Side, an Eighth Route Army soldier who praised "dying more than Mount Tai" in Mao Zedong’s famous article "Serving the People", actually died in the process of burning opium. This statement is also widely circulated on the Internet.

Zhang Side died of burning opium?

Zhang Side

Opium is not just drugs.

I don’t want to analyze the above statements, because it is very necessary to understand the role of opium in the social and economic operation of China before the Anti-Japanese War.

As we all know, the terminal price of opium is quite high, its volume is not big, and its weight is very light. In old China, where the financial system was chaotic, opium, together with gold, silver and pounds and dollars, became the main hard currency in circulation in China at that time, and was called "yellow, white, black and green". Considering the problems of quantity, scale and difficulty in inspection, opium thus overpowered the most valuable gold, silver and foreign currency, and became the currency with the highest cost performance and liquidity in China before the Anti-Japanese War.

In addition, in old China, which has not yet been industrialized, medicine was originally a scarce material. Sometimes military doctors need surgery, but they often find that there is no narcotic except smoky soil. At this time, opium, which has certain anesthetic and antidiarrheal effects, can indeed play the role of medicine at some time.

Although opium was introduced into China from abroad, after the mid-19th century, in order to alleviate the outflow of silver, the Qing government and local governments began to encourage poppy cultivation. Before the Anti-Japanese War, China had become the first drug producer in the world. Most people born after the founding of New China know what opium is like in books, but today, people over 80 years old are almost impressed by the special smell produced when cooking opium. According to the American representative’s speech at the 18th meeting of the Committee on Smoking Prohibition of the League of Nations in 1934, the annual output of opium in the world except China was 1,770 tons. However, according to the estimation of Dr. Lien Teh Wu, director of the National Port Quarantine Administration of China at that time, the opium output of China in 1930 was an astonishing 12,000 tons, equivalent to seven times the world output value. Even so, scholars all over the world generally believed that this data greatly underestimated the opium production capacity of China at that time.

Before the Anti-Japanese War, the grass-roots society in China did not have much prejudice against opium, and opium was also a necessity for wealthy families. There is no doubt that China was once the first drug consumer in the world. According to statistics, the population of China was 474 million in 1932, but the number of drug addicts nationwide reached 80 million, accounting for 16.8% of the total population. Considering the weak grassroots control and statistical ability of the Kuomintang government at that time, the real drug addicts will only be more.

 

Before the Communist Party of China (CPC) took control of northern Shaanxi, Shanxi and other places, Shanxi-Shaanxi area was one of the most serious areas in China. In the 1920s, Shaanxi had reached the point where there were no smoking houses, and all men, women and children smoked. Smokers accounted for more than 50% of Shaanxi’s total population, and poppy cultivation and opium manufacturing became the only prosperous industries in Shaanxi.

The influence of opium on the old China society completely exceeded the imagination of ordinary people for ordinary drugs. If we use today’s knowledge of drugs to mechanically copy the opium problem during the Anti-Japanese War, it will naturally be difficult to understand the essence of the opium problem.

Bowing to reality: recognizing opium’s status as a hard currency

What is clear and certain is that the Communist Party of China (CPC) is the only political force in the modern history of China that really tried its best to fight drugs in the controlled area. As early as the Agrarian Revolutionary War, the Chinese Communist Party took drug control as one of its priorities. After the end of the Long March and the Red Army stationed in Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia, the hardest hit area with a history of opium cultivation and trafficking for hundreds of years, communist party immediately launched a massive anti-drug campaign in the border area, which basically eliminated drug abuse in the control area in a very short time. At present, it has basically reached a consensus in academic circles.

Some people will ask: "Since you can ban smoking in communist party, why not ban opium as well?" Communist party did try to ban opium cultivation in its jurisdiction and made considerable efforts (this was in sharp contrast to the various warlords who planted and sold cigarettes at that time), but history proved that this idea was still a pattern at that time. It takes many years to restore the land after poppy eradication before it can be used to produce food again, so banning smoking often brings a new problem: how to solve the rations of tobacco farmers and opium processing workers?

From the national economic point of view, even in a state of war, unless there is a natural barrier like the Taiwan Province Strait, the domestic material circulation can be restricted and blocked, but it is difficult to be cut off. After the anti-drug campaign was launched in the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia border region, the situation of smuggling opium into the border region increased rapidly. Because a place bans opium production and restricts opium consumption, it will often lead to an increase in opium prices, which will only stimulate opium cultivation in other provinces and even lead to the outflow of local gold and silver. From this point of view, a truly unified state power is the prerequisite for the complete prohibition of opium, which was not available in China during the Anti-Japanese War.

In history, especially when the base area of the border region was in trouble in 1941, some people and even some units in the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia border region did smuggle opium, and the government of the border region severely cracked down on these behaviors within its capacity. As for the large-scale cultivation of opium within the jurisdiction, it is hard for me to imagine that opium poppy will be cultivated on a large scale in the base area in the early 1940s when the whole country was suffering from famine. After all, opium soil can’t be used as food, and the food bought from enemy-occupied areas through black market and other channels is only a drop in the bucket compared with the population in the border area.

Due to the lack of other enough hard currency, the Eighth Route Army did have a considerable amount of opium opium, which was used to balance the import and export deficit in the border region. Even in the history of the Party and the memoirs of leaders, there are not many taboos about this, because this is the special national conditions of China in those days caused by history. Since it is impossible to seize the national political power for the time being, what communist party can do is to bow to reality — — Recognize opium’s status as a national hard currency.

Eight roads grow opium on a large scale? Selective slander

After understanding these background knowledge, we began to systematically analyze the reliability of several origins of the statement "the Eighth Route Army planted and sold opium on a large scale".

First of all, talk about Yan ‘an Diary. Although this book was born in the background of the break-up between China and the Soviet Union, Yuri Vlasov, the actual editor of the book, later admitted that this "Yan ‘an Diary" was compiled for the anti-China needs of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, but the author dare not completely deny that the historical materials mentioned in "Yan ‘an Diary" must be false, that is, completely unreliable.

Yuri Vlasov later admitted that this "Yan 'an Diary" was a work compiled for the anti-China needs of the Central Committee of the CPSU.

Yuri Vlasov, the actual editor of Yan ‘an Diary. He later admitted that the diary of Yan ‘an was a work compiled for the anti-China needs of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union.

In the environment of Yan ‘an at that time, it was difficult for Vladimir to write a "diary" that strongly criticized the leaders of the Communist Party of China, but the biggest Bug of this "diary" was that there were too many contradictions between the contents of the diary and historical facts. For example, Vladimir Mirov directly questioned Mao Zedong about opium in northern Shaanxi, and Deng Xiaoping made an answer. The date of the diary is August 2, 1942, but at this time Deng Xiaoping has been appointed as the secretary of the Taihang Branch of the Communist Party of China. He should be on the Taihang Mountain, not in northern Shaanxi. In addition, the 359th Brigade harvested opium in Nanniwan in the 1930s before the Great Production Movement, and the opium processing factory was located in Chaling &hellip, Hunan Province, which was closely controlled by the Kuomintang. … Mistakes like that, then more.

In a word, there are too many serious contradictions between the contents of Yan ‘an Diary and historical facts. Combined with the historical background of the publication of this work, the original historical status of this work is very questionable.

 

Secondly, the statement about special goods in Xie Juezai Diary. As it happens, the author has a set of Diary of Xie Juezai edited and published by People’s Publishing House in 1982, and the records of "special goods" in online diaries are indeed true, so the author makes a contextual analysis of these diaries.

"That is, the legal tender for special goods accounts for government revenue … … Do your best. … … I don’t know that his responsibility is to sell black and white to make up for the financial deficit. " (January 18, 1944) and "Anecdotes heard at the forum: … … ‘ There are few multilateral currencies for special goods, and the future will be terrible ’ (When the border currency is recovered, the price of special goods falls, and it is extremely difficult to buy special goods) "(March 12, 1944).

These two days’ diaries all describe Xie Juezai’s own views on the economic problems in the border region, and these are the only paragraphs in the two days’ diaries that mention "special goods" and "black and white goods". Although there is no unanimous conclusion on what kind of products "special goods" are (it is said that "special goods" refer to local specialty salt), even if we assume that "black goods" in "special goods" and "black and white goods" refer to opium, it can only prove that opium is used as hard currency to balance the fiscal deficit in the border region as I said above, and it cannot prove that the Eighth Route Army in communist party has large-scale opium cultivation; The diary on March 12 can be understood as a kind of anxiety of the participants in the forum about the relationship between hard currency and currency.

As for the diary of March 14th, 1944, it said: "When a leading organ starts a thing, it must be very considerate, and often a small step makes a mistake, which can cause great trouble among the masses. ‘ Domestic sales of special goods ’ That is an example. " This diary mainly talks about the way of leadership. In 1943, some people in the border area proposed whether to implement "domestic sales of special goods", but this issue quickly caused controversy and was finally rejected. The "domestic sales of special goods" mentioned in the diary should be the discussion of "domestic sales of special goods" in 1943. Combined with the main content of this diary, the diary of March 14th can’t be used as evidence that the Eighth Route Army in communist party planted and sold opium on a large scale.

In addition, Xie Juezai Diary explicitly mentioned drug control for many times and days, but these records were selectively ignored by some scholars. The author now extracts a paragraph:

June 6, 1943

It is proposed to give instructions to the county (city) governments in each district to ban smoking: all commissions and county governments:

Eating opium, a scar left by the old society, has been cured a lot, but there are still a few addicts who have not given up. We must work harder to avoid a resurgence. Unless otherwise prohibited by the prohibition of planting, instructions on the prohibition of eating are given:

……

When summing up the work this year, quitting smoking is one of the assessment results of governments at all levels.

Next, let’s talk about the document "Interim Measures for the Collection and Management of Tobacco Tax in Huaitaixi County". Huaitai West County refers to Huaiyang, Taikang and Xihua counties. Although there is no definite evidence to prove that this "method" does exist, Huaitai and Xixi counties are surrounded by Japanese-occupied areas. It is hard to imagine that the Japanese army, which is rich in opium, will sit idly by and watch the existence of such a commercial and military competitor. Moreover, there is no mention of cultivation in public institutions in this "method", so it is naturally impossible to prove that opium cultivation is the main economic policy of communist party.

Crucially, Huai, Tai and Xi counties used to be the defense zones of the Kuomintang army in Tang Enbo. At the end of 1944, the Kuomintang army was greatly defeated in the battle of Henan, Hunan and Guangxi, and the armed forces behind the enemy lines of the Chinese Communist Party were able to establish this base area. Considering the lag of eradicating opium cultivation, if the proclamation does exist, then this "Measures" is not so much evidence of the Eighth Route Army’s drug manufacturing and trafficking, but rather a profile portrayal of the Kuomintang reactionaries’ opium cultivation and trafficking.

As for the statement that "Zhang Side died in the process of burning opium when his cave collapsed", let’s leave aside the possibility that the Eighth Route Army would be embarrassed and still use the Central Guard Corps to refine opium in 1944, but the biggest loophole of this statement lies in the fact that burning opium is different from burning charcoal. Burning charcoal doesn’t have to be looked after all the time, but refining opium must be looked after all the time. With the ventilation of the cave, the person who looks after the opium will be poisoned, and there is no need to wait until the cave collapses.

After Li Mi led his troops to flee Myanmar, one of his "main businesses" was poppy cultivation. After years of development, the Golden Triangle has gradually become "famous"

The Last Opium of the Republic of China

Having said that, I finally want to talk about how drug control was carried out in New China after the War of Liberation.

In some traditional opium producing areas, party and government workers will level the opium fields, then collect and destroy drugs, and at the same time give some rations to farmers, and then switch to grain after a period of time. Those who take or inject drugs should register and quit within a time limit according to the size and age of their addiction; Secondly, the staff also linked drug rehabilitation with production education, and involved those "addicts" who were not involved in production and behavior degeneration into the tide of industrial and agricultural production, so that they knew that they were members of society and stimulated their determination to give up drugs. In this way, although there are records of serious drug addicts dying from drug addiction attacks all over the country, the vast majority of drug addicts have been thoroughly remoulded after receiving withdrawal treatment and productive labor, and become new people who are useful to society.

One of the earliest sources of the Golden Triangle, a world-famous drug producing area, was the Kuomintang Li Mi and other departments that were beaten out of Yunnan. After living in Myanmar and Thailand, poppy cultivation became one of Li Mi’s "main businesses". After years of development, the Golden Triangle gradually became "famous". And this site rich in drug lords has become the last hiding place of opium in the Republic of China.

After communist party came to power, he made China a glorious "drug-free country"; Although the Kuomintang regime was nominally unified throughout the country, during its reign, China became the world’s first drug producer and consumer, and after its defeat, it also created the world’s largest drug producer. From this point of view, it is never clear who is more worthy of praise and who should be reviled.

SMIC was officially listed in science and technology innovation board: high R&D investment, chip manufacturing "burning" equipment.

Wenxue business data school

On July 16th, SMIC was officially listed in science and technology innovation board. Although the outstanding shares in A shares only account for about 14% of the total issued shares, and the P/E ratio is as high as 113.12 times (calculated at the issue price of 27.46 yuan/share), it still received enthusiastic pursuit and the opening price soared. On the other hand, TSMC, the world’s largest wafer foundry with SMIC as the benchmark, will also release its financial report for the second quarter of 2020 today.

Chips are generally divided into three links — — Chip design, chip manufacturing and chip packaging testing, among which, the wafer foundry link in chip manufacturing where SMIC and TSMC are located is one of the weakest links in Chinese mainland’s chip industry chain at present.

"First-class design, second-class packaging and testing, and third-class chip manufacturing", Sheng Linghai, vice president of global consulting firm Gartner Semiconductor Research Group and analyst, commented on the current situation of Chinese mainland’s chip industry and global benchmarking to Business Data School. "At present, Huawei Hisilicon’s chip design is already the world’s first-class level, and the technical threshold for packaging and testing is relatively low, but the chip manufacturing link — — The technology including upstream mask aligner equipment and wafer foundry is still far from the world’s first-class. "

According to incomplete statistics, there are as many as 20 chip companies listed or to be listed in science and technology innovation board from April to July, but only one chip manufacturer is SMIC.

Just recently, at the moment when the "half-time war" in chip manufacturing was tense, the Chinese Academy of Sciences announced that it had broken through the 5-nanometer lithography technology, and SMIC had also developed a production process below 7 nanometers, which could be mass-produced by the end of the year, which brought a glimmer of light to the localization of chips, but how much did these relieve the urgent demand for high-end chips in one to three years?

Business Data School made a detailed comparison between SMIC and TSMC in the past five years. From the perspective of revenue scale (see the figure below for details), TSMC’s revenue has always been more than 10 times that of SMIC, while its wafer shipment is only about 2-3 times, which means that SMIC’s price per wafer is cheaper than TSMC’s, which shows that SMIC’s bargaining power is far lower than TSMC’s.

According to the rough calculation of Business Data School, in 2019, the shipment price of TSMC per wafer was about $3,609.1, while that of SMIC was only $619.6, with a price difference of six times.

(Cartography: Business Data School) 

It is precisely because of the low price that SMIC’s gross profit margin has remained between 20% and 30%, far below TSMC’s gross profit margin of over 45%.

 The reason why the price gap is so large is that SMIC’s mass-produced products are still relatively backward. In 2019, the two areas with the largest production capacity are still between 0.15/0.18 micron and 55/65 nm, while the current world-class high-end chips are mainly 14 nm, especially at 28 nm. Now there has been a global overcapacity situation.

At present, the revenue of SMIC’s 14 nm and 28 nm process products is relatively low, and the 28 nm process products are facing the risks of overcapacity, continuous decline in revenue, high depreciation pressure and negative gross profit margin.

In the past three years, the revenue of SMIC’s 28 nm process products was divided into 1.63 billion yuan, 1.24 billion yuan and 810 million yuan, accounting for 8.12%, 6.19% and 4.03% respectively, and the revenue and proportion continued to decline; In the fourth quarter of 2019, mass production of 14 nm process products began, and the related income was 57.0615 million yuan, accounting for 0.29%.

To sum up, SMIC has transferred some general equipment originally used in the 28 nm process to other processes with higher profits.

This also directly determines the level of net profit. The net interest rates of SMIC in recent three years are 5.1%, 2.3% and 4.1%, which are far lower than the net interest rates of TSMC of 32.3%, 34.0% and 35.1%.

After deducting non-recurring gains and losses in 2018 and 2019, SMIC’s net profit attributable to shareholders of the parent company was negative, which were-6.168 billion yuan and-5.22 billion yuan respectively.

Behind the difference in chip prices between SMIC and TSMC is the gap in advanced technology. To further enhance commercial competitiveness, we must catch up technically.

The rich terminal application scenarios of integrated circuits determine that the mainstream technology nodes and processes of chip products in various sub-sectors are different, and the technology iteration and corresponding market demand change rapidly.

Advanced technology generally advances one generation after one to three years, such as TSMC’s mass production of 16 nm /14 nm in 2015, 10 nm in 2016, 7 nm in 2018 and 5 nm in 2020. If the technology iteration of wafer foundry lags behind the technological requirements of product application, it will not meet the needs of the market and customers.

According to IC Insights statistics, TSMC accounted for 59% of the global pure wafer foundry market share in 2018, and SMIC accounted for 6%. The mass production time of SMIC’s 14 nm process is 2019, and the next generation process has entered the stage of customer introduction.

Although the research and development of advanced technology needs constant capital investment and accumulation, the emergence of key technical figures can often push this process forward a long way.

A key figure behind SMIC’s breakthrough in 14 nm and 7 nm technology is Liang Mengsong, the co-CEO of SMIC. In just 298 days, the difficulty of 14 nm process technology was overcome, and the yield of the process was improved to 95%.

As a former research and development backbone of TSMC, Liang Mengsong is one of the top ten chip talents in the world. After leaving TSMC for half a year in 2009, Liang Mengsong joined Samsung, which directly upgraded Samsung’s technical level by one generation, from 28 nm to 14 nm.

The next SMIC to conquer is the mass production of 7 nanometers.

In addition, according to Liang Mengsong, the development route of SMIC’s 7nm process technology is not much different from TSMC’s. On the 7 nm process node, three types have been developed, among which the manufacturing process of N7 and N7P can not use EUV lithography technology, while the process of N7+ will use EUV technology, but even if EUV technology is used, the number of mask layers is very small.

On the 5nm process node, EUV lithography technology has been fully utilized, and the number of mask layers can reach as many as 14, which is a high technical level in the industry. — — This is also the part that TSMC is currently trying to mass-produce.

In addition, in terms of production capacity, TSMC currently operates a 150mm fab, six 200mm fabs, five 300mm fabs and four advanced back-end fabs. In 2019, the annual production capacity (in terms of 12-inch equivalent wafers) was about 12.3 million wafers, while in 2018 it was about 12 million wafers. This growth was mainly due to the expansion of 7-nanometer technology.

The layout of SMIC’s fabs is as follows: there are a 300mm fab, a 200mm fab and a controlled 300mm advanced process fab in Shanghai; There is a 300mm wafer factory and a holding 300mm advanced process wafer factory in Beijing. There are two 200mm fabs in Tianjin and Shenzhen. There is a holding 300mm bump processing joint venture factory in Jiangyin.

Since it is a strong technology-driven business, it is inevitable to invest in research and development. The figure below shows the magnitude and proportion of global chip companies’ investment in R&D in 2019.

 Taking SMIC as an example, R&D expenses mainly include depreciation expenses, research and testing expenses, employee compensation expenses, etc. From 2017 to 2019, R&D expenses were 3.57 billion yuan, 4.47 billion yuan and 4.74 billion yuan respectively, showing an increasing trend.

However, the fastest growth is actually "depreciation expense", which is due to the purchase of some advanced machinery and equipment with higher unit price, which makes depreciation expense increase year by year, accounting for 30.34% of R&D expenses in 2019.

Secondly, the cost of research and testing is mainly the sample fee, which was 1.31 billion yuan in 2019, accounting for 27.70% of the research and development expenses, and the research and development efficiency has improved.

Thirdly, it is the salary cost of R&D personnel. In 2019, the salary of R&D personnel of SMIC exceeded 900 million yuan.

Sheng Linghai revealed that due to the current hot chip industry, chip engineers are very expensive at present. A chip design engineer with 10 years of experience has an annual salary of more than 1 million.

Let’s go back to the landing of SMIC in science and technology innovation board. The main purpose of raising funds is also for the construction of new production lines and R&D reserves. Among them, the investment of the 12-inch chip SN1 project is 8 billion yuan, which is used to meet part of the capital demand for building a 12-inch production line project with a monthly production capacity of 35,000 pieces, and the production technology level has been upgraded to 14 nanometers and below; Advanced and mature technology research and development project reserve fund project raised funds of 4 billion yuan for technology research and development to enhance the company’s market competitiveness.

Although the localization of chips is the general trend, the trend of globalization has not changed — — The chip was designed in the United States, processed in Taiwan, China, packaged in Malaysia, and finally sent to China for production and global sales.

"The birth of semiconductors is a result of the common development of all countries. So far, no country can have a complete semiconductor industry chain by itself." Su Wei, general manager of China Resources Microelectronics OEM Group, said, "At present, the self-sufficiency rate of domestic chips is less than 30%, and the development of China’s entire semiconductor industry chain is obviously short-board, but in the field of power semiconductors, we see that it is the first to break through and the gap with the international first-class technology level is narrowing."

At present, the low-end chips can be basically localized, but if we want to go to the high end, the wafer foundry link where SMIC is located will be a key link for the 7-nanometer mass production in the next three years. If it can be successfully realized, Chinese mainland’s chip manufacturing will take another step towards the world-class goal.

Promoting consumption, benefiting people’s livelihood, facilitating people’s life, prosperity of the community business

  Cctv news(News Network): It is an important task for China’s current economic work to focus on expanding domestic demand and restoring and expanding consumption. Since the beginning of this year, China has accelerated the construction of a 15-minute convenient living circle and prosperity of the community commerce, so that residents can enjoy convenient life and services near their homes.

  Up to now, China has built more than 1,400 convenient living circles in 80 cities, with 280,000 commercial outlets covering more than 2,700 residential communities.

  The second floor of the people’s livelihood complex was transformed into a community affordable canteen, and the third floor was transformed into an inclusive pension institution. Not far away, the community has also built a new one for 0— Kindergarten for 3-year-old infants.

  According to the Ministry of Commerce, some studies show that more than half of the daily consumption expenditure of urban residents is concentrated within 1 km around the community, and the community consumption market has great potential.

  Since the beginning of this year, the state has focused on improving the supply facilities for community consumption and enriching diversified consumption formats. This bookstore opened in the community has become a community meeting room with functions such as consumption, leisure and culture.

  In the next step, the state will carry out a three-year campaign to build a convenient living circle for a quarter of an hour nationwide. Based on the principle of "what is lacking and what is replenished", we will optimize the layout of community consumption space and promote the upgrading of community commerce according to the policies of the city and the circle. Form a ladder consumption structure based on huge community consumption, supplemented by surrounding comprehensive commercial centers, and upgrade the key business districts in the city to meet the growing needs of the people for a better life.
