The Integration of Science, Technology and Culture: Historical Thinking and Leaping of the Times

The Integration of Science, Technology and Culture: Historical Thinking and Leaping of the Times 

  

  The Integration of Science, Technology and Culture: Historical Thinking and Leaping of the Times -Professor Chen Xiejun’s speech at the 10th annual meeting of Shanghai Association for Science and Technology. 

  The integration of science and technology and culture is a historical proposition, which has been proved by history in the process of civilization and urban development. It is a history that has been proved by facts, but today it is endowed with the important significance and profound connotation of the times. The integration of science and technology and culture is a strategic issue. Obviously, today, the regular understanding and growth thinking of combining theory with practice in the evolution of science and technology and cultural construction are entrusted with the task of striving for initiative in general plan and expanding future space. The integration of science, technology and culture is a trend topic, so we should sum up our experience, be brave in exploring, make plans according to the situation and follow the trend. 

  Core view 

  The integration of technology and culture has existed since ancient times in Shanghai. Science and technology have long been incorporated into our daily life and become a culture. At the same time, science and technology is also an important part for us to deepen our understanding of life and the world and cope with the changing world. 

  The integration of science and technology and culture is of great practical significance today. We should consciously strengthen the pursuit of this integration and strengthen the research on countermeasures. 

  Chen Xiejun1952yearsevenBorn in Shanghai, born in Ningbo, Zhejiang. He is currently the deputy director of the Shanghai Cultural Relics Management Committee, the curator of the Shanghai Museum, the Standing Committee of the Shanghai Municipal People’s Congress, and the deputy director of the Education, Culture and Health Committee. It mainly studies philosophy principles, philosophy of science, macro theory of contemporary urban culture and new disciplines, library science, museum science, informatics, art management, cultural and cultural management, etc. He has published such works as Introduction to Science-Theoretical Exploration of Discipline Development, Chronology and Chromatics in Life.90Many books, another editor-in-chief, published papers and articles. 

  The integration of science and technology and culture has existed since ancient times in Shanghai. 

  Science refers to a knowledge system that uses categories, theorems, laws and other forms of thinking to reflect the essence and laws of various phenomena in the real world. Technology generally refers to various process operation methods and skills developed according to production practice experience and natural science principles. Culture is the embodiment of people’s way of life and lifestyle, the result of historical accumulation, and the reflection of material life in the spiritual field in a certain era. The integration of technology and culture is a historical fact and necessity. 

  In fact, the integration of science and technology and culture has existed since ancient times. The excavation of ancient cultural sites in Shanghai, the cleaning of ancient tombs, the discovery of ancient ceramics, bronze and ironware, the excavation of utensils used by ancestors in daily life, such as cookers, containers, food containers and wine containers, and the exposure of ancient architectural remains have displayed the social customs, long life scrolls, changes in daily life and cultural style of Shanghai’s ancient civilization in a magnificent way. 

  fromtwentycentury60Age to90In the mid-1990 s, several excavations were carried out on the Songze site, involving Songze culture and Majiabang culture in cultural types.2004year2At the end of the month, the archaeological excavation of Songze site achieved brilliant results. The cultural relics of Majiabang culture unearthed this time include stone tools, bone implements and pottery. The stone axe is ground, and the axe body has a double-sided pipe drill hole. The technology of pipe drilling and perforation has always been thought to have appeared in the late Songze culture and was widely used in Liangzhu culture. The discovery of this stone axe advanced the technology of pipe drilling and piercing for more than 1000 years. This is of great significance for exploring and studying the development history of science and technology in Shanghai. Bone implements include bone darts for hunting and tooth knives for scraping. In addition to daily utensils such as pots, pots and beans, pottery also found a pottery pig with red color on the surface, which is a domestic pig that has been domesticated, kept in captivity and has lost its wildness. The discovery of Xiao Tao pig provides new data for the history of animal domestication and livestock breeding in China. 

  Significant achievements have been made in archaeological excavation of Qinglong Town site in Qingpu District, Shanghai. Qinglong Town is the first famous town in Shanghai, located in Baihe Town, Qingpu District, which was built in the fifth year of Tang Tianbao (746Year). According to legend, during the Three Kingdoms period, Sun Quan of Soochow once built a Qinglong warship here, and later defeated Cao Jun in Chibi. By the Tang Dynasty, Qinglong Town had become an important place for coastal defense. Because it is located at Hudukou in the lower reaches of Wusong River, it has a superior geographical position and developed shipping conditions, so it has become the earliest foreign trade center in Shanghai and has the reputation of "Little Hangzhou" in the Song Dynasty.2010In 2000, the Archaeological Research Department of Shanghai Museum carried out an archaeological excavation of Qinglong Town site in a planned and step-by-step manner with the academic topics of Wusong River, Hudu base, urban development, shipping and foreign trade as the objects in Shanghai historical archaeology. The first excavation in that year found the architectural base of Tang and Song Dynasties and a large number of porcelain pieces piled up, including hundreds of repairable ceramics. Two years later, archaeologists such as Shanghai Museum and Qingpu Museum excavated the site for the second time and got a better understanding of the layout and connotation of the whole site. The excavation cleared up the orderly arrangement.fourA stove, initially determined, is a large-scale and long-used relic of a casting workshop in the Tang Dynasty, which may be a cast iron workshop and was first discovered in Shanghai. There is also a well found in the remains, which is the deepest and most exquisite among hundreds of wells that have been discovered in Shanghai. There are many artifacts unearthed in the well, such as Tang parrot’s ribbon bronze mirror, iron kettle, iron lifting Liang Ding, iron hook, silver hairpin, celadon porcelain jar, wood carving fragments and so on. This excavation unearthed a large number of cultural relics such as porcelain, copper, iron and wood from the Tang, Song and Yuan Dynasties, and preliminarily counted the recoverable cultural relics.3000Pieces, including many high-quality goods. The results of the two excavations of Qinglong Town Site are of great significance for excavating the origin of Shanghai’s history and culture, exploring the cultural source of the city and exploring the integration of science, technology and culture in history. 

  When it comes to Shanghai’s ancient civilization with a long history and complementary blend, we have to talk about the Yuan Dynasty sluice site in Zhidanyuan. Zhidan Garden is located at the intersection of Yanchang Road and Zhidan Road in Putuo District.2001yearfivemoon2sunIn the process of residential construction, such an archaeological site appeared. Later, the archaeological team immediately entered the site. After the trial excavation of the archaeological site, it was clearly the site of the sluice in the Yuan Dynasty. Shanghai had excellent water conservancy projects in the Yuan Dynasty. When it comes to water conservancy projects in the Yuan Dynasty, it is necessary to mention Ren Renfa’s National Treasure Exhibition of Jin, Tang, Song and Yuan Dynasties, which caused a sensation in China’s painting and calligraphy circles.seventy-twoAmong the national treasures, there is a flower-and-bird painting by Ren Renfa. Some people think that Ren Renfa was a professional painter in those days, but in fact Ren Renfa was a water conservancy expert in the Yuan Dynasty. This is an excellent case of the integration of science and technology with culture and art. According to historical records, Ren Renfa organized ten major water conservancy projects in Shanghai during the Yuan Dynasty, and today’s Zhidanyuan Sluice was created by Ren Renfa. It is really amazing that the stone tenon processing of Zhidanyuan underground site is exquisite and the technology level is superb. The archaeological work of Zhidanyuan is conducive to understanding the evolution of Wusong River. The predecessor of Suzhou Creek is Wusong River. Today’s Zhidanyuan sluice is far from the Suzhou River today.onekilometre (km)Far away. Therefore, a comparative study of the rivers at that time and now can roughly show the evolution of Wusong rivers.2012yeartwelvemoon31sunThe Yuan Dynasty Sluice Ruins Museum has been opened to the outside world, which has become a bright spot in the construction of Shanghai Museum and filled the blank of Shanghai Ruins Museum. 

  Science and technology have a profound cultural power. 

  Science and technology itself is also a kind of culture, and science and technology has a very powerful cultural force. How to understand the cultural power of science and technology? Or from0andoneTalk about.0andoneThe problem is the door to the computer world. have0andoneBoolean algebra, mechanical computers, electronic computers, and the culture of our digital age. 

  0andoneInvolving the logic of truth and falsehood, there is a "baldy paradox" in the logic of truth and falsehood. I asked everyone, "am I bald?" Everyone said, "How can you be bald with so much hair?" So I started pulling out my hair. Common sense tells us that a person’s hair can’t be countless, and it can definitely be pulled out. When I pulled out three hairs, I asked everyone, "Am I bald?" Everyone said that I heard that Mr. Zhang Leping painted San Mao, but I didn’t hear that Mr. Zhang Leping painted baldy. In this case, you should not be bald if you have left three hairs. According to the logic of truth and falsehood, you are "non-bald". I continued to pull out my hair. When I pulled out two hairs, I asked everyone, "Am I bald?" Everyone thinks that Sanmao is not bald, and of course Sanmao is not. Then, a dime is naturally not. The problem is that a hair is not bald, but it will become bald after it is pulled out. In any case, everyone will not accept this conclusion. This is the famous "Bald Man Paradox". This hurdle can’t be crossed. 

  1964In, there was an applied mathematician named Chad in the United States. He said that this problem had to be solved from fuzzy mathematics. hold0andoneEnclosed in brackets, then, in0andoneThere are countless corresponding values in the middle. In this way, there is a solution to the "baldy paradox" in the traditional logic of truth and falsehood. When people start to pull out their hair, it’s not bald.0, to the bald head.oneWhen you pull out half of your hair, it corresponds to0.5,0andoneThere are countless corresponding points between them, which theoretically helps the "baldy paradox" get rid of the predicament and puts forward a fuzzy mathematical theory. As soon as the theory of fuzzy mathematics is solved, the problems of fuzzy logic and fuzzy linguistics are solved. 

  Accurate mathematical tools may not be able to deal with abnormal social problems properly. Now, we have never encountered many problems in the political, economic and cultural fields. It can be said that we are facing a fuzzy world, and "fuzzy mathematics" is an "accurate" tool to deal with the fuzzy world. 

  Let’s introduce a "fault-tolerant technology" problem from the fuzzy problem. After the computer system was put forward, the problem of "fault tolerance technology" was put forward. For example, it is impossible for engineering in heaven to be fault-tolerant. In the development of electronic computers, the research and solution of "fault-tolerant technology" has played an important role, which makes it possible for the continuous development of electronic computers and the promotion of their systems. 

  Let’s talk about rhythm again. Rhythm is also a very important concept in science and technology. Once rhythm is connected with music and poetry, a new bright spot of science and technology culture appears. There are also rhythm problems in news layout and venue design, and rhythm will also bring out rhythm aesthetics. 

  I hope that through these examples, we can realize that science and technology have long been integrated into our daily life and become a culture. At the same time, science and technology is also an important part for us to deepen our understanding of life and the world and cope with the changing world. 

  Countermeasure research on the integration of science, technology and culture 

  The integration of science and technology and culture is of great practical significance today. We should consciously strengthen the pursuit of this integration and strengthen the research on countermeasures. I have some experiences that I want to share with you. 

  First, take the integration of science and technology and culture as a cultural attitude. At present, the pace of mutual integration of culture and science and technology is accelerating, and new cultural formats and new channels of communication are constantly emerging. Science and technology has increasingly become a key force to transform and upgrade traditional cultural undertakings and cultural industries, and a powerful engine to promote the scientific development and innovative development of cultural work. After decades of continuous exploration and innovation in reform and opening up, a new development concept of the integration of science and technology and culture has gradually formed. The integration of science, technology and culture is a development strategy, and it must become a consensus and common pursuit. The integration of science and technology and culture is a cultural attitude, which needs to be interpreted and deduced. The integration of science, technology and culture is a kind of comprehensive thinking, which should be explored across disciplines. The integration of science and technology and culture is a topic of the times. We should introduce new perspectives, new understandings and new thoughts from the information society, network technology, the world is flat, semantic revolution, cloud computing, the era of big data, culture and symbolic economy, and the new driving force to change the world in the future. 

  Second, it is very important to carry forward the spirit of urban science. Cultural spirit is of course important to the development of a city. However, today, our city should not only carry forward the urban cultural spirit, but also advocate the urban scientific spirit. Take Shanghai as an example, it has accumulated profound scientific and technological civilization in the development of ancient civilization and modern civilization. As for the scientific spirit of the city and the process of the integration of science, technology and culture, we should sort out the history and analyze individual cases, and make special research and scientific summary on the interaction of science and technology and culture in ancient civilization and the mutual promotion of science and technology and culture in modern urban footprints, from the perspective of "the light of science and technology culture in the sluice site of Yuan Dynasty", "The Elements of Geometry" translated by Xu Guangqi, a pioneer of science, "the science and technology culture of Jiangnan Factory is the first" and Yangshupu Waterworks, Power Plants and Pujiang Hotel. 

  The third is to cultivate projects and brands that integrate technology and culture.2012In, Shanghai issued the "Three-year Action Plan for Promoting the Integration of Culture and Science and Technology in Shanghai", striving to build a cultural science and technology innovation system and support system with reasonable structure, complete categories, optimized layout, high science and technology content and Shanghai characteristics. Science and technology promotes culture, and culture feeds back science and technology. The achievements of scientific and technological innovation are highlighted, new formats emerge and the development environment is improved. After combing history, understanding significance, making plans and integrating resources, the integration of science, technology and culture needs to determine projects, form brands, sum up experience and move with the times. We need a number of leading projects and their brands with scientific and technological content, such as animation games, network audio-visual, creative design, film and television production, culture and art, and digital services, to integrate scientific and technological connotation into the public cultural service system, the cultural industry system and the cultural market system, to provide scientific and technological support, to seek the integration of key technologies of science and technology culture, and to integrate into the innovative management platform of scientific and technological means, so as to lay a new foundation for the in-depth integration and development of science and technology and culture at a newer and higher level. 

  The fourth is to revitalize "popular science", "scientific prediction" and "scientific fantasy". "The integration of technology and culture" should start from the foundation and let the thoughts fly. Shanghai has a long tradition in popular science, "scientific prediction" and "scientific fantasy", which should be revived. "Popular science" is the cradle of scientific and technological development; "scientific prediction" has inserted the wings of tomorrow for the integration of science and technology and culture; "Scientific fantasy" is a form of fantasy to express the material, spiritual and cultural life and scientific and technological prospects of human beings in the future world, and its content is intertwined with scientific facts, foresight and imagination. "Popular science", "scientific prediction" and "scientific fantasy" make the integration of science and technology and culture travel with images, and lead the time axis of "judging the beauty of heaven and earth, analyzing the reason of all things, borrowing the wings of science and technology and communicating with culture" from yesterday to today to tomorrow smoothly, wisely and artistically. 

  Fifth, it is the requirement of the times to cultivate comprehensive talents of science and technology and culture and the integration of science and technology and culture, calling for the cultivation of comprehensive talents of science and technology and culture. Science, Technology and Culture comprehensive talents should have a compound knowledge structure that runs through all fields of science, technology and culture. It has both a special ability and a skill, as well as the wisdom of general knowledge and integration. It can not only explore yesterday’s footprints, but also base itself on today’s platform and embrace the deep-seated tomorrow of system integration. We should strive to become new explorers and practitioners of "the integration of technology and culture". 

  The sixth is to summarize China.2010Fresh experience of the 2008 Shanghai World Expo. China2010The 2008 Shanghai World Expo has created fresh experience for the "integration of technology and culture", which should be summarized in time and actively promoted. self1851Since the first World Expo in Britain in 2008,160Over the years, World Expos have always been the "cradle" of new technologies, new products and new materials, as well as the carrier of new ideas, new concepts and new technologies and one of the communication platforms. In essence, the World Expo is also a scientific and technological, materialized and scientific and technological humanistic spirit. Science and technology is the product of humanities, and the development of science and technology cannot be separated from the birth of humanities. Humanistic spirit is always tenaciously expressed from scientific spirit, and human thinking mode, values and management mode strongly change the scientific and technological landscape, social conditions and life trends. 

  

  

Red imported fire ants are among the most dangerous invasive species and have spread to more than 10 provinces in China.

  Recently, nine departments, including the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development and the Ministry of Transport, jointly issued the Notice on Strengthening the Prevention and Control of Red imported fire ants (hereinafter referred to as the Notice), and held the launching ceremony of the National Joint Prevention and Control Action of Red imported fire ants in Zengcheng District, Guangzhou. The red imported fire ant and its prevention and control have aroused widespread concern and become one of the hot topics discussed by people.

  What kind of insect is red imported fire ant? From where? Compared with the familiar ants, what are their characteristics and harmfulness? At present, what is the spread and harm of red imported fire ants in China? What are the effective scientific prevention and control measures for red imported fire ants?

  Fierce in nature, with great ecological harm.

  Many Chinese people are undoubtedly strangers to red imported fire ants. Indeed, this insect, which originated in the border areas of Brazil, Paraguay and Argentina in South America, is an authentic alien invasive creature, and its popularity in society was not high before. As its name suggests, the red fire ant is red scorpion-colored, and its shape is similar to that of common ants, about 3 mm to 6 mm long. It looks unattractive and seems to have nothing special.

  Nine departments in the State Council jointly issued a notice of interception and prevention, and launched nationwide joint prevention and control. The high-standard "treatment" of red imported fire ants in China shows that this insect is not only very harmful, but also difficult to prevent and control. Indeed, the Latin scientific name of red imported fire ant means "invincible ant", which reflects its great harm from one side. According to Professor Lu Yongyue, director of the Red Fire Ant Research Center of South China Agricultural University, the invasion of red fire ants will lead to serious ecological problems, destroy the normal production and living order, and it is very difficult to kill and prevent.

  Specifically, the harm of red imported fire ants can be summarized as the following four aspects: First, it destroys the local ecological structure. Solenopsis invicta has strong adaptability. After invading a place, it often develops rapidly into a dominant population, which not only "exterminates" other types of ants in the place, but also exterminates beneficial insects such as spiders, causing great damage to the original ecological structure and serious ecological imbalance. The second is to reduce crop production. Solenopsis invicta directly feeds on seeds, fruits, buds, tender stems, rhizomes, etc. of crops, and transports and grazes honeydew-secreting pests such as aphids and scales to spread plant diseases and insect pests. These directly caused great losses to local agricultural production. Third, it threatens people’s health and even life safety. After being disturbed, the red imported fire ants will not only escape in scattered directions, but also have strong group aggression. By injecting venom into the victim’s skin through stinging, people who are allergic will have symptoms such as blushing, urticaria, and even difficulty breathing. Those with severe allergic reactions will have symptoms such as vomiting, dizziness and shock. If they are not treated in time, they may be life-threatening. The fourth is threatening public safety. Because red imported fire ants often invade outdoor and home nearby electrical equipment, such as electric meters, telephone switchboard, traffic signal cabinet, etc., it may cause short circuit of wires or facility failure, which may lead to public safety accidents.

  It is precisely because of the serious harm of red imported fire ants that the media have quoted experts’ symbolic evaluation that red imported fire ants are "one of the 100 most dangerous invasive species recognized worldwide".

  Three-dimensional communication is difficult to prevent and control.

  Solenopsis invicta is not only harmful, but also difficult to control, which is largely determined by its species characteristics and the process of economic globalization.

  The breeding speed of Solenopsis invicta is amazing, which increases the difficulty of killing. In the colony of Solenopsis invicta, the queen is the key role responsible for laying eggs and reproducing offspring. In some nests, there will be several or even dozens of queens, and each queen can lay 1,500 to 5,000 eggs a day. The number of Solenopsis invicta can increase greatly in a short time, resulting in an extremely large scale of ant colonies. Some nests may have as many as hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of Solenopsis invicta.

  In a certain area, Solenopsis invicta can spread and reproduce in a three-dimensional natural way. Solenopsis invicta can spread to the neighboring areas through nest migration and nest division. Although the distance of each crossing is not large, after a certain period of accumulation, this slow and steady strategy can show the long-term effect of "attacking the city slightly". In addition, red imported fire ants can spread in the air for a long time in a short time. Male and female reproductive ants can mate at a height of hundreds of meters and land several kilometers away to start nesting, thus rapidly expanding new space. It is worth noting that the water flow not only can not achieve the effect of killing red imported fire ants, but also helps them to migrate across distances. Some red imported fire ants build their nests on riverbanks or low-lying places. With the flood coming, although their nests will be submerged, the ant colonies will form an "ant cutting" and drift with the water. When they meet a suitable nesting place, they try to go ashore to build their nests and live in a new place.

  With the development of domestic unified market and the deepening of economic globalization and regional economic integration, there are more and more cases of red imported fire ants spreading through logistics and human factors such as objects and vehicles, and it is more and more difficult to prevent and control them. It is through international trade, especially international horticultural plants and agricultural products and the subsequent soil movement that red imported fire ants escape customs inspection and realize transcontinental and transnational transmission, and then continue to spread in a country in a similar way in areas suitable for survival.

  The difficulty of prevention and control of red imported fire ants lies in its concealment in the early stage of invasion. The mature nest of Solenopsis invicta will form an obviously raised mound of sand, which is easy to be identified, but it is relatively hidden and difficult to be detected when it is first built. By the time it was discovered, its invasion had developed to a certain extent, which delayed the opportunity of governance and increased the difficulty of prevention and control.

  Invasion of more than 16 years, urgent need to contain.

  In late September, 2004, a serious ant was found in Wuchuan City, Guangdong Province. Lu Yongyue, as one of the experts, identified this ant as red imported fire ant through morphological identification and field investigation in Wuchuan, and confirmed that red imported fire ant invaded Chinese mainland for the first time. Related experiments show that the newly discovered Solenopsis invicta in Wuchuan has 100% homology with Solenopsis invicta from Florida, USA. The results of field investigation show that the occurrence density of Solenopsis invicta in some places, such as barren slopes, grasslands and ridges full of weeds, is high, which has adversely affected local agricultural production, people’s health and daily life. These findings provide an important scientific basis for early warning, prevention and rapid eradication of the invasion of red imported fire ants.

  In January, 2005, the Ministry of Agriculture issued an announcement, officially announcing the discovery of fire ants in Wuchuan and other places, and including fire ants in the list of quarantine pests of imported plants and the list of quarantine pests of agricultural plants in China. At the same time, the Ministry of Agriculture issued the Emergency Plan for the Prevention and Control of the Red Fire Ant Epidemic (hereinafter referred to as the Emergency Plan), announced the four levels of the red fire ant epidemic and the corresponding response mechanisms, and determined the organization and leadership system suitable for the first-level response, such as establishing the inter-ministerial joint meeting system and establishing the red fire ant epidemic prevention and control headquarters. In addition, the Emergency Plan also stipulates that after the corresponding level of emergency response, relevant parties should immediately start to do a good job in epidemic situation confirmation, epidemic situation report, epidemic situation announcement, blockade control, prevention and control, epidemic situation investigation and monitoring, and entry-exit quarantine. In April and November of that year, the Ministry of Agriculture announced the epidemic situation of red imported fire ants in Hunan, Guangxi and Fujian.

  Although some achievements have been made in the prevention and control work, due to the huge number of transmission vectors, especially in recent years, due to the increase in the number of goods transported and the suitable climatic conditions, the spread of Solenopsis invicta in some provinces and regions has accelerated and the epidemic situation has aggravated. At present, Solenopsis invicta has spread to 435 counties (cities, districts) in 12 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities), with the northernmost part reaching the Yangtze River valley, Zhejiang and Jiangxi in the east and Guizhou, Chongqing and Sichuan in the west.

  The "Notice" jointly issued by nine departments recently is the latest deployment on the prevention and control of the interception of red imported fire ants under the background that the Biosafety Law of People’s Republic of China (PRC) was passed and will be implemented on April 15th, and the practical measures to strengthen the management of alien invasive species according to law have been introduced, which can be said to be unprecedented.

  Joint prevention and control, comprehensive management

  Solenopsis invicta invaded Chinese mainland through imported goods. More than 300 batches of 17 kinds of articles intercepted at the entry port confirmed that waste articles (waste paper, waste electronic products, etc.) and logs were the main ways to carry Solenopsis invicta into China. The spread of Solenopsis invicta in China is mainly carried by turf and flower seedlings, and 27 of the 95 flower seedlings surveyed carry Solenopsis invicta. The incidence of red imported fire ants in turf plantation was 48.8%; Among the 122 introduced areas, the invasion rate of turf/seedlings was 85.2%.

  The "Notice" grasps the two keys of external defense input and internal non-proliferation, and requires strengthening departmental coordination. Specifically, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, together with the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, the Ministry of Transport, the Ministry of Water Resources, the Health and Wellness Commission, the General Administration of Customs, National Forestry and Grassland Administration, the State Railway Administration and the State Post Bureau, established an inter-ministerial cooperation and joint defense mechanism for red imported fire ants to organize and coordinate the prevention and control of interception. Among them, the customs directly under the customs are required to be responsible for organizing the monitoring of the port of entry, imported goods and articles and container storage areas, and notifying the port management department to carry out prevention and control; All customs should strengthen the inspection and quarantine of imported goods (seedlings, wood, forage, etc.), articles and containers from countries and regions where red imported fire ants occur to prevent the spread of the epidemic. The "Notice" requires strict quarantine supervision and law enforcement inspection, focusing on strengthening the quarantine of seedlings of crops with soil, seedlings with soil greening, lawn grass, etc. transported from counties (cities, districts) where the epidemic occurs. If the epidemic is found, it should be stopped. If it is really necessary, it can only be transferred after passing the quarantine treatment; The transportation, railway and postal departments are required to urge road freight transport enterprises, railway transport enterprises and express delivery enterprises to do a good job in the inspection of phytosanitary certificates for carrying or receiving related goods, mail and express mail in counties (districts) where the epidemic occurred, so as to ensure that they do not carry or receive without a license.

  Emergency killing is an important aspect of preventing and controlling red imported fire ants. Lu Yongyue said that the red imported fire ant research center of South China Agricultural University, where he is located, has built a technical system for monitoring, quarantine and prevention and control of red imported fire ants suitable for southern China. In the aspect of monitoring, three kinds of bait and placement methods with good effects were screened out, and the monitoring accuracy was higher than 98%. In the aspect of killing, the contact toxicity of 18 insecticides to 4th instar larvae and the contact activity of 17 insecticides to worker ants were confirmed. Developed low-toxicity bait and waterproof bait containing more than 10 pesticides such as spinosad and avermectin, and formed supporting application technology; A highly effective pesticide for killing red imported fire ants was created and a matching application technology was formed, which solved the bottleneck problem that it is difficult to prevent and control in rainy season and low temperature season.

  Spring and autumn are the active periods of Solenopsis invicta, and the best period to carry out centralized prevention and control actions. Experts believe that as long as all parties concerned work together to strengthen prevention and control in accordance with the requirements of the Notice, they will certainly be able to curb the spread of red imported fire ants, provide an important guarantee for the continuous and stable development of grain production and planting industry, and further build a national ecological security and biosafety barrier.

A touch of "China Red" was raised in major museums in Guangdong to light up the National Day Golden Week.

Text/Figure Yangcheng Evening News All-Media Reporter He Wentao Correspondent Yue Wen Lv Xuan
On the third day of the holiday, the cultural tourism market in Guangdong Province showed a good trend of "diverse products, colorful activities and active consumption".
The reporter learned from the Guangdong Provincial Department of Culture and Tourism that according to preliminary estimates, on the third day of the National Day holiday in 2025, the scenic spots of 4A level and above in the province received 4.012 million tourists, up 4.0% year-on-year (according to comparable caliber, the same below).
The key areas along the 14 ancient post roads included in the monitoring received 607,000 tourists, a year-on-year increase of 1.4%; The 13 red tourism classic scenic spots included in the monitoring received 344,000 tourists, an increase of 3.1% year-on-year; The 100 rural tourist spots and historical ancient villages monitored received 416,000 tourists, up 2.6% year-on-year; The 80 key public cultural institutions included in the monitoring received 421,000 tourists, a year-on-year increase of 0.3%.
Guided by the theme of commemorating the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Guangzhou Peasant Movement Workshop, Huizhou Ye Ting Memorial Hall, Shanwei Haifeng Red Palace Red Square and other red venues received extensive attention and received a large number of tourists. A series of immersive "red tours" make the patriotic theme tour continue to heat up, and the red gene is passed down in the experience.
The Guangdong Provincial Museum has launched the theme exploration activity of "China Red in Guangdong Boli", inviting visitors to explore the "red mark" that has traveled through time and space among a dazzling array of exquisite cultural relics, decode the "red world" in the cultural relics, feel the cultural embodiment precipitated in the artifacts, and realize the vigorous vitality flowing in the long river of history.
Guangzhou Museum opened the museum cultural feast during the National Day holiday with a solemn flag-raising ceremony. At the ceremony, student representatives told the story of cultural relics behind the Letter to Guangdong People, and led citizens and tourists to relive the story that the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China South China Branch called on the people of the whole province to mobilize and fight for the new China on October 1, 1949. This important document in Guangzhou Museum is not only a witness of history, but also embodies the beliefs and hopes at that time and illuminates the way forward for the people of Guangdong.

Whose wishful thinking is "996 working system"?

Whose wishful thinking is "996 working system"?

Background:Recently, there was a news in the programmer world that someone launched a project called "996.ICU" on the well-known code hosting platform GitHub to resist the 996 working system. This move was immediately responded by a large number of programmers. The so-called 996 refers to working from 9: 00 am to 9: 00 pm every day, and "996.ICU" means "working 996, sick ICU".

China Youth Daily published its opinion:In the legal sense, the legitimacy of the 996 working system is obviously in doubt. It directly converts overtime work into normal working hours for employees, and even wraps this mechanism with words, giving it some cultural and moral colors. For example, those who are willing to accept are regarded as active, enterprising and have dreams, while those who are not active in cooperation may be reprimanded as greedy for comfort and muddling along. In this context, it is almost impossible for individuals to say "no" to this mechanism. It is said that if you don’t accept the 996 working system, you can jump to other industries. Not to mention that this statement avoids the legitimacy of employees’ rights protection, and also ignores that today’s 996 working system is not only a unique phenomenon of Internet startups, but is spreading to more industries. This phenomenon should inspire the labor inspection department to pay more attention and intervention. According to a survey conducted by China Academy of Social Sciences, the average leisure time in Chinese in 2017 was only 2.27 hours. Comparatively speaking, the average leisure time of nationals in the United States, Germany and other countries is about five hours per day, which is more than twice that of Chinese. According to statistics, the prevalence rate of depression in China is 6.1%, and the incidence rate is increasing year by year in recent years … Young people need to struggle, but it is not necessarily a blessing that more and more young people are busy in society "like machines with alarm clocks set". Reducing stress for young people does not only mean reducing their working hours, nor is it just the responsibility of a certain industry or enterprise. It is time to face up to how to decompress young people from the social system level. The rebound of the 996 working system is only an early warning.

Xiaojiang random thoughts:For example, what should I do if I need 10 people to do the work and only find 5 people to do it? Naturally, I can only work overtime. For those who work, the work overload is obvious. For employers, it is "getting twice the result with half the effort". Therefore, whether overtime is the norm and no overtime pay is given, whether it is beautified as corporate culture or dedicated, the essence behind it is that the boss is playing the wishful thinking of saving costs and squeezing employees. As far as the 996 working system faced by many programmers is concerned, there is still a so-called "deserved"-programmers usually have higher income, and "high income naturally bears high pressure". This kind of rhetoric is very confusing. But after careful analysis, the flaw comes. On the one hand, the programmer’s salary is higher because the output value of the high-tech industry is higher; On the other hand, not everyone can do it, and excellent programmers are "rare." In short, the programmer’s high income does not come from the boss’s "gift", but from market pricing. How can high income be a reason for infringing on labor rights and interests? The "overtime culture" also has a strong flicker, comparison and infectivity. For example, look at people’s "well-known enterprises" are so hard, what is the reason why "start-ups" don’t work hard? "Senior talents" dare not slack off. "Ordinary you" miss by going up one flight of stairs. Why are you so embarrassed? On the contrary, the above words turn enterprises and employers into the only way for workers to "succeed", which makes people stunned and must be vigilant! On the issue of labor rights protection, trade unions at all levels, labor rights protection departments,Do it when you should. This is the responsibility, the inevitable requirement of regulating the market, and the proper meaning of governing the country according to law. From a broader perspective, China’s economy has shifted from a high-speed growth stage to a high-quality development stage. High-quality development involves not only ecological protection, but also people-oriented.

Xiaojiang’s words:Hello, I’m Xiao Jiang. State affairs, family affairs, what’s going on in the world, there are new things every day. You judge, I judge, everyone judges, and a hundred flowers bloom at your disposal. There are different viewpoints and different angles, as long as we respect objectivity, rationality and justice.

What is the function of car networking? Is it useful?

Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) is a technology that allows cars to communicate with other devices, systems and services in the surrounding environment. This communication can be realized through wireless networks, including the connection between vehicles and other vehicles (V2V), infrastructure (V2I), pedestrians (V2P) and cyclists (V2B). In addition, it can also communicate with Internet service providers (V2N) and other IOT devices.

The main functions of the Internet of Vehicles include:

1. Real-time traffic information: Through communication with other vehicles and infrastructure, real-time traffic information can be obtained, which can help drivers avoid congested road sections and save time and fuel.

2. Safety enhancement: The Internet of Vehicles can help improve road safety, for example, by detecting the emergency braking of surrounding vehicles and reminding drivers to take corresponding actions.

3. Navigation optimization: Combining real-time traffic information and map data can provide more accurate route suggestions for drivers and avoid getting lost or detouring.

4. Entertainment and information services: The Internet of Vehicles can provide various online services, such as music, news and weather, as well as the ability to connect with other devices, such as charging mobile phones and controlling home equipment.

5. Vehicle maintenance and diagnosis: Through communication with vehicles, vehicle networking can monitor the performance and health of vehicles, warn potential problems in advance and reduce maintenance costs.

6. Autopilot support: The Internet of Vehicles can provide key information input for autonomous vehicles, such as road conditions, traffic signals and pedestrian information, and improve the safety and reliability of autonomous driving.

Generally speaking, the Internet of Vehicles is a very useful technology, which can improve the driving experience, safety and efficiency, and lay the foundation for future intelligent transportation systems and self-driving cars. However, to realize these functions, it is necessary to widely deploy relevant infrastructure and technical standards, which still faces some challenges.

The minimum down payment of the first suite is 15%, and the lower limit of the national mortgage interest rate is cancelled. How will the portfolio policy change in the real estate market?

On May 17, the central bank and the General Administration of Financial Supervision successively issued three policies, announcing that the minimum down payment ratio of the first set of housing personal housing loans should be no less than 15%, and the second set should be no less than 25%; Reduce the interest rate of individual housing provident fund loans by 0.25 percentage points; And cancel the lower limit of the interest rate policy for commercial personal housing loans for the first and second homes at the national level.

Ma Hong, a senior researcher at Guangkai Chief Industry Research Institute, pointed out that the last time the interest rate of housing provident fund loans was lowered was in October 2022; Reduce the minimum down payment ratio to August 31, 2023. In view of the housing loan interest rate and down payment ratio, the regulatory authorities released a positive signal of stabilizing the property market by means of policy "combination boxing", providing more preferential policies for buyers, hoping to lower the purchase cost and better meet the rigid and improved housing demand by lowering the purchase threshold.

On the same day, a nationwide video conference was held in Beijing. He Lifeng, member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee and vice premier of the State Council, pointed out that relevant local governments should proceed from reality and properly dispose of the sold idle stock of residential land by means of recovery and acquisition as appropriate, so as to help housing enterprises with financial difficulties solve their difficulties. In cities with a large inventory of commercial housing, the government can order and purchase some commercial housing at a reasonable price as appropriate for affordable housing.

The industry believes that a series of new policies will help the transformation of commercial housing nationwide, which is expected to accelerate the operation of the domestic commercial housing market in the direction of balance between supply and demand and promote the stable and healthy operation of the real estate market.

The down payment ratio of the first suite is lowered to not less than 15%

On May 17th, the People’s Bank of China and the State Financial Supervision and Administration Bureau issued a notice on the policy of adjusting the minimum down payment ratio of individual housing loans.For households with loans to purchase commercial housing, the minimum down payment ratio of the first set of commercial personal housing loans is adjusted to not less than 15%, and the minimum down payment ratio of the second set of commercial personal housing loans is adjusted to not less than 25%.

On this basis, the provincial branches of the People’s Bank of China and the dispatched offices of the State Financial Supervision and Administration Bureau independently determine the lower limit of the minimum down payment ratio of the first and second sets of commercial personal housing loans in each city under their jurisdiction according to the regulation requirements of the city government and the principle of making policies according to the city.

Chen Wenjing, director of market research of the Central Finger Research Institute, pointed out that after this policy adjustment, the down payment ratio of the first set of housing was reduced to not less than 15%, and that of the second set of housing was not less than 25%, down by 5 percentage points respectively. At present, many places in the country have reduced the down payment ratio to 20% and the second set to 30%. Only a few cities have a higher down payment ratio. For example, the first set of down payment ratios in first-tier cities are all 30%, and the second set ranges from 40% to 50%. After the central bank lowered the lower limit of the down payment ratio, it is expected that more cities will follow suit, and there is room and expectation in first-tier cities to further lower the threshold for home buyers.

Yan Yuejin, research director of Yiju Research Institute, pointed out that the down payment ratio of mortgage has been reduced to 15%, which is the lowest down payment ratio in history, and it is also the most relaxed policy among various housing purchase policies in recent years, indicating that the national level attaches great importance to destocking and supporting reasonable housing consumption demand, which is of great significance to the promotion of mortgage, the rapid release and large-scale release of just-needed and improved housing.

Cancel the lower limit of mortgage interest rate at the national level

On the same day, the People’s Bank of China issued a notice on adjusting the interest rate policy of commercial individual housing loans.Cancel the lower limit of the national commercial personal housing loan interest rate policy for the first and second homes.

The provincial branches of the People’s Bank of China shall guide the self-discipline mechanism of interest rate pricing in provincial markets according to the principle of making policy according to the city, and independently determine whether to set the lower limit and the lower limit level of commercial personal housing loan interest rate in cities within their respective jurisdictions according to the real estate market situation of cities and the regulatory requirements of local governments.

Chen Wenjing pointed out that the lower limit of the interest rate policy for the first and second home loans at the national level should be abolished, and the right to regulate the lower limit of the mortgage interest rate should be given to local governments. Previously, the lower limit of the interest rate of the first and second home loans was LPR-20BP for more than five years and LPR+20BP(4 for more than five years respectively (LPR was 3.95% for more than five years in April), and the lower limit of the interest rate of the first home loan could be cancelled in stages in cities where the price of new houses fell for three consecutive months year-on-year.

According to the data released by the central bank, as of the end of March, among the 343 cities (prefecture level and above) in China, 75 lowered the lower limit of the first home loan interest rate and 64 cancelled the lower limit.

According to the monitoring of the Central Finger Research Institute, Super 20 City announced that the lower limit of the first home loan interest rate will be phased out from April; In May, Nanjing and Hefei successively announced the cancellation of the lower limit of the first home loan interest rate. At present, some banks in some cities have implemented the interest rate of the first home loan at around 3.1%. This time, the central bank canceled the lower limit of the national mortgage interest rate, and the policy benefits extended to the second suite. It is expected that more cities will lower the mortgage interest rate, and the room for lowering the mortgage interest rate in first-tier and core second-tier cities is also expected to open.

Reduce the interest rate of individual housing provident fund loans by 0.25 percentage points.

Another policy concerns provident fund loans.

The People’s Bank of China issued a notice on lowering the interest rate of individual housing provident fund loans. Since May 18, 2024,The interest rate of individual housing provident fund loans will be lowered by 0.25 percentage points, and the interest rates of the first set of individual housing provident fund loans for less than 5 years (including 5 years) and more than 5 years will be adjusted to 2.35% and 2.85% respectively.The interest rates of the second set of personal housing provident fund loans for less than 5 years (including 5 years) and more than 5 years are adjusted to not less than 2.775% and 3.325% respectively.

Wang Xiaoyu, chief analyst of Zhuge Data Research Center, pointed out that lowering the interest rate of individual housing provident fund loans will enable more employees with stable employment to buy houses at lower cost, enhance their purchasing ability and stimulate employees with stable employment to enter the market.

De-stocking and Implementing the Mode of "Purchasing on behalf of the Agent"

According to Xinhua News Agency, a nationwide video conference was held in Beijing on the 17th. He Lifeng, member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee and vice premier of the State Council, attended the conference and delivered a speech.

He Lifeng pointed out that,Relevant local governments should proceed from reality and properly dispose of the sold idle residential land by means of recovery and acquisition as appropriate, so as to help housing enterprises with financial difficulties solve their difficulties. In cities with a large inventory of commercial housing, the government can order and purchase some commercial housing at a reasonable price as appropriate for affordable housing.

Yan Yuejin said that the core point of this policy can be summarized as "purchasing on behalf of the agent". This model responds to the previous central government’s "policies and measures to study and digest existing houses and optimize incremental housing", which combines the acquisition and digestion of existing houses with the new construction of affordable housing. It is in line with the market rules and has a very good orientation to organically combine the work of destocking and real estate projects. Recently, including the purchase of housing in Lin ‘an, Hangzhou as public rental housing and the purchase of housing in Dali, Yunnan as guaranteed rental housing, it has a positive effect on digesting the stock and supplementing the increment.

Wang Xiaotong believes that this policy is closely related to the problems in the current real estate market. From the perspective of decontamination, the decontamination cycle of commercial housing reached a new high this year. According to the monitoring data of Zhuge Data Research Center, the decontamination cycle in April was 18 months, which was 0.8 months longer than last month. At present, the destocking pressure in the new housing market has reached a high point. The government’s purchase of commercial housing as an affordable housing to ensure the removal of commercial housing also has a certain positive effect on the delivery of commercial housing. Last year, driven by the special debts of major guaranteed buildings, the growth rate of completion continued to rise, but this year, the growth rate of completion remained negative for three consecutive months. Guaranteed buildings are closely related to people’s livelihood. Only by delivering new houses on time will the concerns of buyers be eliminated and the stable development of the real estate market be promoted.

What if the banana green strikes? Stewed meat stewed goose ate it.

The original Si Xiaole flavor planet comes from the album Looking for Dongguan.

In ancient India and Persia, people said that golden banana fruit is "a good health care fruit given by God".

Banana farmers in Mayong also feel that the whole world should love bananas.

How delicious can bananas be?

Ah! Ma Yong banana, it smells good!

When I went to Mayong, I happened to catch up with the second year of the typhoon. Bananas failed to harvest, and dozens of villages in hundreds of miles were densely covered with the worries of banana farmers.

In the past, people in Mayong firmly believed that bananas were the most honest crops, and Mayong was the land blessed by banana fairies. Everywhere, the sunshine is cool and the water is abundant. Ma Yong’s ancestors worked hard to reclaim land around the sea, enclosing a fertile and sandy alluvial plain farmland, creating an ecosystem that is very suitable for banana growth.

Half a century ago, the yield of bananas in Mayong reached 4,400 kilograms per mu, and the state specially awarded banana planting certificates. In 1987, this humble small urban and rural area in the Pearl River Delta created a crazy achievement of an annual banana output of 22 tons. At its peak, Mayong bananas were even exported to the Soviet Union, Canada, Japan, North Korea and Hong Kong.

It’s just a banana. What’s the difference? Bananas sell well, that is, Mayong people can do business.

Guest officer, please stay and eat two bites of bananas produced in Mayong. You can’t help but say, "It smells good!"

Ma Yong banana is pleasing in appearance, which is different from the slender bananas in Southeast Asia. Ma Yong banana is another school of healthy and strong, with neat fruit combs. The ripe banana skin is golden yellow with sunny luster, and at first glance it is a baby nourished by the land.

Eat it in your mouth, and sure enough! Fructose is abundant, the flesh is sweet and waxy, and the rich banana aroma scatters flowers in the mouth, which is really different from bananas elsewhere. In the local words of Mayong: "It smells like bananas!"

Li Yingqiang, a banana wholesaler who has been running with his father for decades, remembers that 1999 was the best year, and he could sell 40,000 kilograms of bananas to Henan a day.

He Jianxian, a banana farmer, also remembers the good days when he planted several thousand kilograms of bananas a year and earned hundreds of thousands of dollars. At that time, the banana chamber of commerce in the Soviet Union spent several months coming to the banana field to purchase goods, boasting in half-baked Chinese that Mayong bananas were soft, smooth and sweet, with unique flavor and the best taste.

Most people in Shangcun village in machong have gone to do business all over the world, but every household still has an inseparable relationship with bananas, or has a few acres of banana fields at home, or a banana purchaser who migrated from other places in previous generations. There are even several households at the end of the village who specialize in buying and selling fertilizers in banana fields.

Bananas can be harvested in all seasons. Except for those who buy and sell, there are traces of bananas in the daily diet of people in the town. Every once in a while, they get into the banana forest and cut off a handful of green ones. They put the tail of a bicycle and carry it home with a snort. They put it in a rice jar and cook it golden with incense. Old people and children can eat it happily for a week.

"Porphyra and banana syrup" is not a dark dish

Banana bone soup, braised goose with banana and fried eggs with banana buds all make you want to stop.

Li Yingqiang does banana wholesale and other fruit wholesale at the same time, but every year on the second day of February of the lunar calendar, he will definitely go back to Mayong to attend the "Apo Club". On that day, every household will make banana pancakes to offer sacrifices to Nu Wa Niangniang. Adults always remember to find the empress to keep safe, and children always remember that the empress has come to protect their food.

Locals also make pancakes with banana buds.

Ma Yong’s banana pancakes are too sticky to stop: mash the yellow ripe banana pulp into banana paste, add glutinous rice flour and water, stir well, pour it into an oil pan, spread it thin and fry it, which is soft, tough, sticky, simple and rough, but it is firmly entangled in the taste buds by the sweet and soft glutinous local bananas.

We didn’t catch up with the grandmother’s meeting, and we had a banana feast including banana pancakes at the "Harvest Farm" next to the machong Highway, which opened our eyes! When bananas are regarded as daily food, there are so many strange ways to open them!

Boss Huang, who also grew up in the banana forest in his early 50 s, took care of this roadside water village dish for 7 years, and now there are more than a dozen bananas on the menu.

Banana Bone Soup, Banana Braised Goose, Banana Bud Fried Eggs, Sweet and Sour Bananas, Golden Wheat Banana Balls … Remember to save your stomach for a bowl of traditional laver and banana syrup after dinner, and bananas are gorgeous in Cantonese cooking without violating!

Most of the bananas used for cooking are raw bananas, with a lot of glue but a weak aroma of banana fruit. They are a supporting role who keeps his own quiet contribution, and will not steal the flavor of other ingredients. What they eat is mainly the wonderful taste of bananas between refreshing and sweet and sticky and sticky.

Ma Yong people also found more reasons for this sweet and plump food to clear away heat, dampness and stomach.

Mayong people think that banana laver syrup can prevent pinkeye, clear away heat and relieve summer heat, reduce fire and improve eyesight, so many families can eat this classic dessert:

The practice is roughly to peel raw bananas, soak them in water, cut them into pieces, rub them with your hands, wash off the banana gum, and then boil them in boiling water.

When the banana gum floats, remove the gum foam with a spoon and wash it with cold water to make the bananas in the field fresh. Add ginger slices and boil them in water for half an hour. When the banana slices become soft, add the washed laver and add brown sugar.

This is a pot of sweet and sour summer syrup, and it is also one of the must-eat items in Dongguan in my mind.

"Bananas are more than fruits for Ma Yong people." It is three meals a day, which is a daily support.

The warning given by the older generation of banana growers to the young people who continue to grow and manage bananas in Mayong is that the most difficult thing to grow bananas is persistence. For hundreds of years, Mayong people have repeatedly fallen and got up in seedling raising, planting, harvesting and ripening, and they have probably missed 11,000 miles. Nowadays, no one can guarantee how long the road ahead is.

A new batch of Ma Yong’s "american born chinese" are also hesitant, but they are more determined to stand at the intersection with the banana forest.

The spring of 2020 is still wet. Banana farmers said that the mother bananas that were blown down by the cold wave and typhoon two years ago have now sprouted again. This year’s Nu Wa Niangniang not only inspired everyone’s enthusiasm for banana pancakes as always, but also seemed to bring some new hopes for bananas.

Urgent action does not disgrace the mission-on-the-spot record of Wuhan Youfu Hospital’s anti-epidemic work

Jingchu. com client-Jingchu. com news (correspondent Wang Mian) Since Wuhan Youfu Hospital was listed as the designated treatment hospital for patients in COVID-19 on February 14th, Wuhan Veterans Affairs Bureau urgently mobilized all forces in the system, completed various transformation tasks in time, and increased 900 beds within 4 days, providing a strong guarantee for winning the epidemic prevention and control war. As of February 21st, Wuhan Youfu Hospital has treated 256 patients with COVID-19.

Firmly invest in the fight against epidemic prevention and control

Youfu Hospital is only 200 meters away from the seafood market in South China. Since December last year, it has been receiving patients with fever of unknown reasons. Faced with the shortage of resources in the hospital and the inability to properly treat it, the party group of Wuhan Veterans Affairs Bureau immediately led the Party Committee of Youfu Hospital to seriously study the feasibility of hospital reconstruction, carefully calculate the beds that can be vacated, integrate and adjust the wards, and treat patients according to the maximum carrying capacity. At the same time, it reported the relevant situation of the special care hospital to the municipal party committee and municipal government, and applied to treat patients in COVID-19 as a designated hospital.

On February 14th, the city leaders approved this hospital as a designated hospital for patients in COVID-19. At the same time, the hospital received the task of preparing 900 beds before February 17. Since then, a race against time, greatly enhance the fighting capacity of COVID-19 patients to save the assault war in the position of the special care hospital.

Race against time to complete relay for life.

Faced with the arduous task of increasing 900 beds in four days, the Municipal Bureau of Veterans Affairs quickly blew the assembly number, organized all the staff of the special care hospital (except the medical staff who care for the existing inpatients) and more than 330 staff members who did not undertake the epidemic prevention task in the sinking community, such as the municipal bureau organs, military rest offices and military rest centers, and mobilized more than 20 middle-level cadres of retired soldiers from Hubei Comrades Group to transfer patients, relocate and transform, and dispatch materials.

Time is tight and the task is heavy. There is no suitable office space, and a conference room less than 20 square meters serves as a design room, dispatching room, restaurant and rest stop for relocation and reconstruction planning; The elevator in the courtyard is not suitable for handling, so the relocated personnel will climb the stairs one by one to transport materials, and they will fight until the early morning for four consecutive days, and the WeChat step will average more than 30,000 steps for several days.

Where did the 900 beds and related medical materials come from under the current situation of city-wide closure? How to ensure the smooth travel of relocated people? To this end, the rear support personnel gave full play to the advantages of the retired military affairs department, and coordinated eight troops stationed in Han, military academies and military hospitals to urgently dispatch quilts, mattresses, sheets, masks, disinfectant and other scarce materials; At the same time, contact with the community where the relocated people live to ensure that the frontline personnel arrive at their posts in time and return home smoothly.

With the concerted efforts of the whole system of Qi Xin, on February 15th, 300 beds in Building No.2 in the old campus were put in place. On the 16th, 200 beds in Building 1 were in place; On the 17th, 400 beds in the new campus were put in place. At this point, all 900 beds have been assembled.

Medical staff in five provinces and regions rushed to the rescue.

If one side is in trouble, all sides will support it. On February 16th, 544 medical staff from Shanxi, Inner Mongolia, Guangxi, Yunnan and Gansu provinces (autonomous regions) rushed to Wuhan and rushed to the city’s special care hospital in batches to jointly carry out patient treatment.

On February 17th, five aid medical teams rushed into work and took over 12 wards of the hospital. At present, patients in two wards have been treated.

In order to do a good job in the supply of life support for the aid medical team, the Municipal Youfu Hospital has set up a special administrative class headed by the vice president to fully guarantee the needs of the medical team for in-hospital meals, the collection of protective equipment and the distribution of living materials. At the same time, a funding center composed of 20 medical staff was set up to help the medical team clean and disinfect protective articles, such as rubber shoes and goggles, daily, and to coordinate various protection and guarantee work.

As of 20: 00 on February 21st, the city’s Youfu Hospital has treated a total of 256 patients from COVID-19. At present, 251 patients from COVID-19 are being treated in the hospital (4 died and 1 was transferred). Among them, there are 53 elderly patients with severe diseases (average age over 75 years old) and 8 young patients with severe diseases (average age between 20 and 40 years old).

Epidemic prevention battlefield shows the true colors of retired soldiers

The special care hospital set up an isolation ward one month before the fixed-point transformation, which belongs to the high-risk zone of virus transmission. The relocation work has limited protection and heavy workload, so it is difficult to avoid exposure risks. At this time, five demobilized cadres of the Municipal Bureau of Veterans Affairs set up a resident assault detachment and organized more than ten demobilized cadres to fight one after another.

On February 15th, it snowed heavily, and the courtyard was brightly lit. Demobilized cadres took the lead in hard work, carrying heavy and hard-to-move materials such as sickbeds and cabinets upstairs and downstairs, regardless of the sweat soaking the back of clothes repeatedly, and kept working until 2 am the next day.

Shu Minjie, a demobilized cadre, took root in the unit. After fighting the epidemic for more than 20 days, a folding bed, a bowl of instant noodles and a disposable medical mask were all his equipment. "My wife and children have been sent back to their hometown, and I have no burden in fighting at the front line. I will take the initiative to ask for any task." Shu Minjie said.

Li Peng is a newly-arrived demobilized cadre in the Seventh Military Rest Center. After receiving the task, he entrusted his full-moon child to his parents, comforted his wife who had just given birth, and devoted himself to his work. He said: "The unit needs me. I am party member. I will go first. I am a retired soldier."

The number of finless porpoises in Nanjing section of the Yangtze River is about 62, an increase of 24% compared with 2017.

Nanbao. com

On December 28th, Nanjing held a press conference to report the results of background investigation on biodiversity in Nanjing and its protection. The Paper (www.thepaper.cn) learned from the press conference that there are about 62 Yangtze finless porpoises in Nanjing Yangtze finless porpoises provincial nature reserve, an increase of 24% compared with 2017, accounting for 10.4% of the total number of Yangtze finless porpoises in the main stream.

The Yangtze finless porpoise is the only existing cetacean animal in the Yangtze River, a national first-class protected wild animal, and also a "barometer" of the Yangtze River ecology. According to Zhang Ruizhong, a first-class researcher of Nanjing Greening and Landscape Bureau, in order to protect the Yangtze finless porpoise and its habitat, the Jiangsu provincial government approved the establishment of Nanjing Yangtze finless porpoise provincial nature reserve in 2014. The nature reserve starts from Xinshengzhou, Jiangning District in the west, adjacent to Maanshan City, Anhui Province, and extends to Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge in the east, covering the range of finless porpoises in Nanjing section of the Yangtze River, with a total length of 44.8 kilometers and a planned total area of 86.92 square kilometers.

In 2022, the latest scientific research on finless porpoises in the whole Yangtze River basin and the investigation of background resources in the nature reserve showed that the number of finless porpoises in the nature reserve was about 62, accounting for 10.4% of the total number of finless porpoises in the main stream of the Yangtze River, and half of the total number of finless porpoises in Jiangsu section of the Yangtze River, which was one of the sections with the highest distribution density of finless porpoises in the whole main stream of the Yangtze River, with an increase of 24% compared with the scientific research data in 2017. The Yangtze finless porpoises in the nature reserve are clustered, mainly distributed in the waters near Qianzhou, Dashengguan Yangtze River Bridge and Zihuizhou.

Since October, 2021, Nanjing Bureau of Ecology and Environment has organized the first city-wide background survey of biodiversity in the city, and a total of 3,672 species have been recorded. Among them, a small Metasequoia glyptostroboides tree and the largest population in the world urban environment were found at the base of the Ming wall of Xuanwu Lake, and the largest Taxus mairei population known to be naturally regenerated in urban forests in China was found under the deciduous broad-leaved forest at the southern foot of Zijinshan Mountain.
