  Affected by the continuous heavy rainfall in Sichuan Basin, the Yangtze River formed the No.5 flood in 2020, and the Jialing River formed the No.2 flood in 2020. Many hydrological stations along the Yangtze River and Jialing River have exceeded the guaranteed water level, and the main rivers in our city are welcoming the biggest flood after entering the flood season this year. The flood will continue to have a great impact on Tongnan, Tongliang, Hechuan, Beibei, Yongchuan, Jiangjin and the downtown area of the main city. At 14: 00 on August 18th, our city has upgraded and issued a Class I emergency response for flood prevention.

  In the face of the raging flood, all localities and departments in our city thoroughly implemented the spirit of the important instructions of the Supreme Leader General Secretary and the decision-making arrangements of the CPC Central Committee, resolutely put the mission in mind and shouldered the responsibility, and went all out to prevent major floods, seize major risks and save major disasters, keep an eye on weak links, seize key parts, never relax, stand ready and guard against death, and build indestructible "solid dams" on the front line of flood control to protect people’s lives and property.

  Sha qu Jin Rong community

  Trapped elderly people urgently need oxygen for emergency rescue in flood.

  At 3: 00 p.m. on August 18th, the muddy flood was wrapped in sundries, and a wave of it poured into Cinan Street, Jinrong Community, Ciqikou Street, Shapingba District.

  "There is a resident who needs oxygen. Find a generator!" Jiang Shijia, secretary of Jinrong Community, stood on the platform on the second floor at No.2 Cinan Street, which was besieged by the flood. Some of them shouted anxiously to the shore-to reduce potential safety hazards, at this time, the Ciqikou area was cut off from power and gas, and the oxygen inhalation machine could not work.

  The street cadres who organized the evacuation on the shore sent this help information to the street work group and the ancient town shop group. After weighing, everyone decided to evacuate people to avoid potential safety hazards caused by generator work.

  At this time, Wang Guirong, a community resident, also rushed into the cordon and said with tears: "The serious patient who needs oxygen is my brother Wang Ping. If he doesn’t take oxygen for a long time, he will be in danger. Please help him!"

  In order to reinforce Jiang Shijia, five emergency rescue teams, consisting of members of the street urban management team and members of the emergency rescue team in the eastern part of Shapingba District, waded through the deep water in the middle of their thighs and carried stretchers provided by 120 ambulances into No.2 Cinan Street.

  After more than 10 minutes, members of the rescue team and Jiang Shijia carried a stretcher and slowly walked along the outdoor stairs to the water’s edge.

  "Slow down, slow down!" Someone shouted.

  "Wait for me and Xiao Zhao to stand firm before you level off!" Zou Rui and Zhao Jianghong, the first urban management team members, stepped into the water first.

  Jiang Shijia, who walked at the end, controlled the inclination of the stretcher and made Wang Ping lying on it as smooth as possible until everyone stepped on the flat road in the water.

  At this time, the rising flood waves rolled in and slapped six people, and the flood had reached the root of the thigh. Jiang Shijia, who was originally carrying his trouser legs in one hand and a stretcher in the other, simply held the stretcher firmly with both hands.

  There are only five or six meters of flood and a dozen steps between No.2 and No.4 platform of Cinan Street. However, in order to walk more smoothly and safely, the group waded to the alley more than 20 meters away. This journey usually takes only 10 seconds, and the group walked for more than a minute.

  After landing, the medical staff made a simple check on Wang Ping and said, "No problem!" Hearing the doctor’s words, several rescuers heaved a sigh of relief, and Wang Guirong’s eyes were red with excitement.

  "The water level will reach the highest level at noon tomorrow, and we have to continue fighting." Jiang Shijia looked at the distant ambulance and said, "When the flood is over, I must have a good sleep!"

  Tongliang anju

  Hold your ground day and night and guard the dike to ensure safety.

  As of 18: 00 on August 18th, the water level of Tongjiang Anju section of Fujiang River has exceeded 220.18 meters for 24 consecutive hours, and the Anju dike continues to run beyond the guaranteed water level.

  In order to ensure the safe operation of the Anjuchang dike and ensure the safety of people’s lives and property in Anjuchang town, a team of more than 100 people, including local public security, fire fighting and emergency rescue departments, stayed on the Anjuchang dike day and night.

  "Always staring at the river, basically every 10 minutes, a team member will check the water level gauge and report it at any time." Xiong Yongliang, a member of the full-time comprehensive emergency rescue team in Tongliang District, said that at night, the team members took a strong flashlight to check, "to ensure that the water level changes at any time."

  Surging floods keep pounding the embankment, and the highest water level is only 0.12 meters away from the flood control standard of 220.3 meters designed by the embankment. Standing on the dike, facing the devastating flood, many people are beating drums in their hearts.

  At the water level monitoring point about 500 meters upstream of Anju Dike, Du Feizheng, a post-90s generation, and water conservancy technicians observed the change of water level every half hour and uploaded the data to the local flood control headquarters in time. Although it is only a simple operation, Du Fei has been working day and night for 48 hours.

  "There are signs of water seepage on the slope on one side of the dike. If it collapses here, the consequences will be unimaginable." Zhan Jun, deputy director of the People’s Armed Forces Department of Tongliang District, said that in order to prevent the danger caused by water seepage, more than 100 local party member cadres, militia and emergency rescue team members have been carrying sandbags and continuously strengthening the wave wall on the dike since receiving the order on August 17.

  "This flood is the biggest flood test experienced since the completion of the flood control dike." Zhang Chenghong, head of the Water Conservancy R&D Center of Tongliang District Water Conservancy Bureau, said that the Anju Dike was completed in 2018, and the design standard is to prevent floods once every 10 years.

  "Our first priority is to ensure the safety of personnel. The first batch of people under 221 meters were all transferred before 20: 00 on August 18, and now the people under 223 meters are transferred. At present, the transfer task of more than 5,000 people has been completed." Tian Wei, a senior engineer of the Municipal Water Conservancy Bureau, said that the local authorities also ensured the safety of dikes by strengthening dikes and repairing flood discharge pumping stations, and tried their best to ensure that Anjuchang Town did not get water and the property of ordinary people was not lost.

  As of 16: 00 on August 18th, the water level in Baisha Town, jiangjin district was 202.3m, exceeding the guaranteed water level by 1.3m.. There are 4 water-crossing streets in Baisha urban area, and the affected population of communities along the river and wading villages is 21,000. It is predicted that there will be a flood peak water level of 205.6m in Baisha Town around 23: 00 on August 19th, which is 4.6m beyond the guaranteed water level (201m).

  "After receiving the hydrological forecast, we immediately organized an emergency team of government officials and more than 1,000 people to carry out the work of persuading shops along the street and evacuating people." According to the relevant person in charge of the town, in just one or two hours, the town has completed the traffic control of four main roads in Linjiang and their related areas and branches, and set up warning checkpoints in key areas to arrange special classes for 24 hours to guard against death, prohibit vehicles from entering and persuade people to leave the water.

  On August 18th, the No.2 flood of Jialing River in 2020 transited Hechuan District, and Hechuan City was flooded. The district upgraded the emergency response to flood control to Grade II, and arranged 61 district-level departments and 1,479 government cadres to "report" on the flood control front line of three sub-district offices in the city to assist in flood control and disaster relief work.

  After arriving at their posts, these "flood control cadres" were assigned to 31 communities, 199 groups and 311 points to help the streets to carry out water regime watch and safety persuasion, and at the same time help community workers to transfer trapped people to safety zones, help merchants and supermarkets in Linjiang to carry materials, and also conduct inspections and deliver water and meals to the relocated people to ensure that they should all be moved before the flood peak comes, without missing one household, one person or one enterprise. As of 8: 00 am on August 18th, Hechuan District had transferred 16,672 people affected by the disaster and relocated 8,695 households.

  In order to ensure the safety of people’s lives and property, since August 16th, 18,700 flood prevention and rescue personnel in Hechuan District have always adhered to the front line to ensure the safety of people’s lives and property.

As of 9: 00 am on the 18th, Beibei District has transferred 1168 people, including 115 merchants.

  Public security organs at all levels

  The former commander rushed to the scene at the first time.

  On August 18th, the public security organs at all levels in our city heard of the "flood season" and moved to the area along the Yangtze River to help evacuate people, and implemented traffic control on some flooded roads to prevent citizens from accidentally entering and fully protect people’s lives and property.

  At 7: 50 in the morning, there were many disasters in the wellhead street of Shapingba District. The wellhead police station immediately divided the police and auxiliary police into rescue teams and went to the disaster-stricken areas to fight floods and provide disaster relief. Zhou Xiaoyong, a policeman, rushed to the wellhead farmer’s market and found that most of the bottom facade had been flooded, and some merchants were scrambling to transport goods to high places. Zhou Xiaoyong immediately told the market staff to cut off the electricity to prevent accidents, and called people to help the masses rob the property.

  At about 8 o’clock, Ciqikou Police Station received the warning notice of flood peak crossing. Sun Songhua, director of Ciqikou Police Station, quickly led the team members to the homes of merchants and residents along the Yangtze River to publicize the transfer policy from door to door. At 8: 10, Sun Songhua received an instruction that the water level had risen to the area of Goose Slab in Ciqikou, and the merchants along the line had to move immediately. Sun Songhua quickly worked with colleagues to help merchants transfer materials. After more than five hours of hard work, all the on-site merchants were safely transferred.

  On the afternoon of the 18th, the flood continued to rise, flooding the road under the Chuqimen Viaduct in Changbin Road, Yuzhong District, making it impossible for vehicles to pass.

  Multi-district county emergency management bureau

  Set up on-site headquarters in key positions for garrison dispatch.

  In order to firmly hold the goal of "zero death" in flood transit, the Municipal Emergency Management Bureau sent several working groups to supervise and direct the relevant districts and counties along the Jialing River and the Yangtze River. The emergency management bureaus of 15 districts and counties along the Fujiang River, Jialing River and Yangtze River set up on-site headquarters in key positions such as weak flood control points, and carried out emergency rescue operations such as on-site control, relocation and rescue.

Dialect is imbued with modern drama, and regional culture emerges.

 Pan-entertainment top media only tells the truth and jokes.

Xiniu entertainment original

Wen | Cold canned food   Edit | Xia Tian

From the perspective of language, 2020 can be regarded as a year when domestic dramas blossom.

 

Northeast dialect, Chongqing dialect, Cantonese, Shanpu dialect … Many local dialects have entered the public’s field of vision with popular dramas as the carrier. In the process of drama spread, a wider range of dialect radiation has been realized.

 

It is true that it is not the first time that "dialects have entered the drama". As early as in plays such as "Big House Gate" and "Walking West", it left a deep impression on the audience. However, it is not difficult to find that the dramas that were integrated into dialects at that time were relatively single in type and uniformly chronological dramas. In addition to showing regional attributes, dialects have a stronger sense of age and charm, let alone a blend of life dramas and youth dramas.

 

This year, dialects have quite broken through the single category of chronological dramas and marched into various types of dramas such as life dramas and youth dramas.

 

In CCTV’s popular life drama "Loading Taiwan", Shanpu is "flying all over the sky". Based on Chen Yan’s novel of the same name, the play tells the story of the Taiwanese people’s joys and sorrows, ups and downs, and the story of the ancient city of Xi’ an in the tide of reform and opening up.

There are seven Shaanxi actors in "Loading Taiwan". Zhang Jiayi and NI YAN, leading men and women, as well as You Yongzhi, Sun Hao, Jita, Jiang Guannan and Guo Gang, who make up the image of Xi ‘an well group, are all genuine Shaanxi people.

 

While enriching the audience’s experience of watching the drama with fluent Shanpu, the regional culture behind the dialect has also played an important role, and the significance of "dialect entering the drama" has been completely interpreted.

Discard tool attributes

The Russian Song and Dance Troupe was rehearsing to the best of its ability when a "trapeze artist" suddenly appeared, and the rope of the platform loader was broken. With this small accident, the prologue of the TV series "Dressing Taiwan" officially kicked off.

 

Judging from the ratings, the drama has a good momentum, breaking one in a row. However, objectively speaking, the popularity and discussion of "Loading Taiwan" did not reach the volume of hot works.

 

In terms of quality, "Loading Taiwan" is far above the passing line. Chen Yan, the original author, has been working in Shaanxi Opera Research Institute since 1990. With 23 years of work experience and emotional accumulation, there is no need to worry about the authenticity and popularity of "Loading Taiwan". Mao Dun’s status as the winner of the literature prize also adds some confidence to the vividness of the story. At the same time, Zhang Jiayi, NI YAN, Song Dandan, Amanda and other all-in-one line-ups also ensured the presentation effect of the play to a certain extent.

The problem lies in the rhythm. The two main lines of "Loading Taiwan" run in parallel, sewing Diao Shunza’s life tightly in one place like two stitches: one is the loading Taiwan work that Diao Shunza has to do on the stage, and the other is the parents he has to face.

 

Although it is full of fireworks, it is not the fast-paced play that online students like. The story structure is still confined to the old thinking.

 

At present, compared with the cast and story, it is the embodiment of regional culture, which has become the focus of discussion on the Internet and a breakthrough to attract cross-circle audiences.

 

Compared with the regular life drama, Shanpu’s "Dressing Taiwan" is unique for the panoramic display of Xi ‘an cuisine and scenery. Spicy beef with film, oil-sprinkled noodles, noodles with minced meat, Guo Kui, the root of the city wall in Xi ‘an, a true replica of the village in the city … is equivalent to a miniature documentary.

Although it has also produced slight side effects, a small number of viewers think that "Loading Taiwan" is not full enough on the plot line, like a propaganda film of Xi ‘an Cultural Travel interspersed with plots. However, in terms of freshness and communication, it is still flawed. Regional culture has become the key point of the fermentation and communication of "Loading Taiwan".

 

Breaking through the "tool" attribute of dialect and imbuing the plot with the color of regional culture in all-round immersion has become a new effect of "dialect entering the drama"

Multi-regional dialect attack

When it comes to the plays that form a strong impression with regional life, Loading Taiwan is not the only one in 2020.

 

In May of this year, the youth drama "I don’t want to be friends with you", which was originally set in the Northeast Metro, became a dark horse of word of mouth with a lineup of almost all newcomers. It was affectionately called "Northeast Edition 1988" by netizens and was deeply favored.

 

In September, bilibili’s first film and television novel "The Sky of Wind Dog Teenagers" was officially launched. Apart from the highlights such as Zhang Yibai’s directing and Peng Yuchang’s participation, the collision between Chongqing flavor and Secondary Two teenagers also made it play a good hand of differentiation.

In October, Dear Mayang Street, which depicts "Cantonese youth", was officially launched. In Cantonese with light comedy effects such as "jump on the street, you" and "Xiluzai", the life picture of Mayang Street slowly unfolds.

 

These dramas also have common problems in the same type of dramas in terms of the handling of endings and the structure of plot lines. However, it is undeniable that the infiltration of dialects and the diffusion of regional culture have given birth to freshness in the old types.

 

Take the small and beautiful dark horse "I don’t want to be friends with you" as an example. In essence, the group images of teenagers in Northeast China portrayed in "I don’t want to be friends with you" are no different from those in other youth dramas. But eating frozen pears, buying Sugar-Coated Berry, having snowball fights and sledding in the northeast campus life; Say to the girl you like, "I’ll find out the big cotton trousers I made later, and the ones with straps have a vest, which makes you sweat when you get old and warm"; The lively public bathhouse, the heavy industrial factory building with smoke rings and the life scene in the northeast mixed with ice and snow all make the audience find everything new and fresh.

And this new idea may be the best solution to the combination of regional culture and film and television dramas.

Region and drama, mutual achievement.

Many people believe that the key to the development of film and television dramas integrated with regional culture is to capture local audiences and turn them into core audiences. But in fact, the local circle is not an important direction for this type of drama to exert its strength.

 

It is true that cultural identity has a natural attraction to audiences in all regions, but it is difficult to adjust the opinions of all people, and the division of the inner circle of the region is also very complicated. At the same time, the narrow target audience will also form resistance in the process of fermentation and communication of the series.

 

Although "dialects enter the drama", the works that embody regional culture are increasingly diversified in types. But grasping the balance between popularization and localization is a universally applicable theorem.

 

Frankly speaking, it is biased to take whether the drama can attract local people to watch as the measure of success. Whether the innovation of drama types can be realized through regional factors and the spread of regional culture to a certain extent is the key.

 

From sketch stage to variety show, and then to the rise of short video platforms such as Tik Tok and Aauto Quicker, Northeast culture has always occupied a place. But in fact, the image of Northeast China in public cognition is biased towards extremes.

 

Northeast dialect may be familiar, but for a long time, it has been confined in a narrow world. What has been active in film and television dramas for a long time is the "ivory mountain Big Three" composed of Liu Neng, Xie Guangkun and Zhao Si in Country Love, or the Erlong Lake Haoge in Siping Youth. The most popular image of a teenager in Northeast China was firmly occupied by Xie Fei, who successfully made a circle by relying on the phrase "She pulled me".

In the public’s existing cognition, Northeastern dialect runs counter to the necessary elements of youth dramas such as romance and Soviet Union.

 

Under such circumstances, the presentation of "I don’t want to be friends with you" to "another Northeast" can not but awaken the audience’s curiosity. At the same time, it also broke the public’s wrong cognition of the customs of Northeast China, and enriched the content of regional cultural communication.

 

The same is true in "Loading Taiwan". With Shaanxi as the background, almost all the works that depict the region in depth are works with a strong flavor of the times, such as White Deer Plain and Ordinary World. The pictures of caves and loess have been frozen in public cognition. The presentation of Xi ‘an’s urban well life in Loading Taiwan not only brings fresh visual experience to the audience, but also enriches the image of Shaanxi.

In the drama series with strong dialect flavor and deep roots of regional culture, the drama series itself and regional culture are mutually successful. While satisfying the curiosity of the audience and giving new vitality to the old genre, the breaking of regional prejudice is also taking place.

 

In the overall context of the unprecedented rise of regional culture, the wave of multi-regional culture is scouring the field of film and television.

[Focus on the chaos of primary and secondary school competitions] Slow down and respect children’s interests and personalities.

2

  Editor’s Note: At present, competitions and training in primary and secondary schools organized by various institutions are extremely hot. The lack of standardized competition market in primary and secondary schools has increased the financial burden of parents of participating students, impacted the normal education order in primary and secondary schools, and is very unfavorable for reducing students’ excessive burden and promoting healthy growth. In response to this problem, People’s Forum NetworkInterview with Chen Lihua, principal of Chaoyang Experimental Primary School..

  If we measure children from a more comprehensive perspective, we will slow down and respect their interests and personality development more.

  People’s Forum Network:What do you think is the reason for the chaos in primary and secondary school competitions?

  Chen Lihua:The competition itself is a very normal thing. The reason why there will be chaos is because children use this result for further studies. The root cause of this situation is China’s national conditions — — There are many children and relatively few high-quality resources. There is nothing wrong with the competition itself. In fact, there are many competitions abroad, and children like and are interested in it. At home, the pressure on children will be greater, not driven by interest, but by tasks. It is a state of development in China that there are many people and relatively few high-quality resources. If everyone accepts it calmly, it may be better on this issue.

  However, parents often can’t accept it calmly. This so-called chaos is actually related to parents’ desire to satisfy their own psychological state. Some parents still haven’t decided what kind of children to train. They just want to win some performances in class after class. They think that if they pay for the competition class, the task will be completed, and how to learn the rest is their own business. Training institutions also take advantage of parents’ psychology to offer corresponding courses. Parents should have greater courage and confidence, know what their children want and what kind of people society needs.

  In addition, it is also one of the reasons that the evaluation criteria of schools are relatively unified. As far as I know, many developed countries, such as Britain, are evaluated by third parties. Although they will rank, they are not directly linked to the evaluation of the school, so the results will not be the only criterion to measure the good or bad of the school. This situation would be better if our schools, including the administrative departments, did not take scores as the only measure. In this way, educators will measure children from a more comprehensive perspective, their pace will slow down, their interests and personality development will be more respected, and the chaos of competitions will be alleviated. Of course, it will take some time.

  People’s Forum Network:Compared with previous years, what changes have been made in the competition chaos in recent years?

  Chen Lihua:There is a process in primary and secondary school competitions. At first, it was simply that some students who were particularly strong in a certain subject were keen to participate in competitions. At that time, the students who participated were really interested in those subjects. However, after a while, the competition was fired up. Because it was directly linked to the junior high school, some middle schools selected children by "taking the pit class", especially after the abolition of the unified examination for primary schools.

  Of course, these years have changed a lot. For example, Chaoyang District in Beijing has done a good job in grasping the policy, and basically does not use the results of competition exams as the basis for measuring students’ junior high school. However, some parents are not at ease, and they have enrolled many extracurricular classes for their children. Training institutions also use this psychology to do some competition training.

  The change of parents’ mentality is the most important, and this change takes time.

  People’s Forum Network:How do you think this kind of chaos should be regulated to better solve this problem?

  Chen Lihua:It’s hard to say about supervision For so many years, the problem of competition training class has not been completely solved, which shows that this matter has its own insurmountable side, and it is difficult to say that it can be solved by cutting off three axes. It takes time to solve this problem and people need to raise their awareness. I think it is almost impossible to say that a certain document can curb this situation. For so many years, many leaders and education experts want to solve this problem, which can not be easily solved by saying a word and issuing a document. Now many competitions, education and training have been marketized, and the change of the market also needs a long process.

  If anything can be done at this stage, my suggestion is to downplay the guidance of exam results to schools. Try not to mention the number one scholar, 600 points or above, and the online rate of undergraduate courses, which will cause unnecessary social pressure. If you don’t do well in an exam, someone will say, Look, this school has regressed. But in fact, the superficial score has regressed, and the education behind it has not necessarily regressed.

  There are many candidates in China, and the competition is fierce. Although the economy is developing rapidly, people’s understanding of education has not reached enough rationality. Now parents are struggling to move forward in this state. To solve this problem completely, the change of parents’ mentality is the most important, and this change takes time.

Getting rich first drives getting rich later. This pig-raising boss in Lishui did what he said!

02:55
On the afternoon of November 25, 2020, Lai Jianbing, a national model worker, returned with honor. Lai Jianbing is the chairman of Zhejiang Xinhongyuan Ecological Agriculture Co., Ltd. For more than 20 years, Lai Jianbing started as a "little swineherd", relied on science and technology to get rich, explored the road of green ecological farming, and made outstanding achievements in accelerating the modernization of agriculture and rural areas and promoting green development.
Actively fight the "epidemic" to tide over the difficulties together
At nine o’clock in the morning, Lai Jianbing is organizing workers to process pig feed in Xinhongyuan pig farm in Haikou Town. In 1996, Lai Jianbing, who was doing business abroad, returned to his hometown to start a business and chose the pig industry. Twenty years ago, the "little swineherd" became a well-known "pig commander" because of his simple dream and hard-to-give-up nostalgia. Under the double test of African swine fever and COVID-19 epidemic, he shared the difficulties with farmers.
During the epidemic period, Lai Jianbing and his team, based on years of experience, not only "accurately prevented epidemic" but also "actively attacked" and explored a set of leading prevention and control operation modes. On the one hand, Lai Jianbing arranges all employees who return from other places to work in enterprises and other people who need to enter the pig farm to be isolated in long-term rented hotels, and disinfects clothes to ensure that the personnel are in good health before they can enter the factory to work. On the other hand, Lai Jianbing’s team took the initiative to carry out epidemic prevention work by scientific means, established a PCR gene amplification laboratory, and quickly grasped the virus content in pigs through the DNA gene tracking system.
In this way, Lai Jianbing and his team added a lot of "defense" to the pig farm, which not only guaranteed production, but also provided farmers with technology and methods, and became the "fixed star" of the local pig breeding industry.
Sharing technology drives development
"Raising pigs is a technical activity". At the beginning of his business, Lai Jianbing suffered heavy losses because of the outbreak of "blue ear disease". After that, he deeply remembered this sentence. "Modernization" and "intelligence" are the two words he often mentioned when talking about pig raising technology. However, how easy is it to be intelligent in traditional industries? Lai Jianbing’s circle of friends still has videos of Xin Hongyuan’s Haikou pig farm when it started construction. In the middle of the mountain, engineering vehicles went up and down. Lai Jianbing lamented: "It is really difficult to run a modern pig farm! I want Yu Gong to move mountains. "
Fortunately, this "foolish man" in Qingtian pig industry has never been afraid of hardships or difficulties. Eight months later, the "modern+intelligent" pig farm has taken shape; By the end of 2020, piglets have moved into comfortable and bright new homes. Precise blanking and sow rearing are all controlled by instruments. Therefore, this new pig farm not only has high yield and traceability, but also saves manpower.
"A single flower is not spring, but a hundred flowers bloom in spring.". In addition to sharing the business experience of the enterprise, Lai Jianbing also helped the surrounding farmers to introduce improved sows free of charge, provided the breeding technology of breeding pigs to the surrounding farmers free of charge, and helped pig farmers sell them through their own networks. Lai Jianbing himself often comes to the door for technical guidance to help farmers comprehensively improve safety production standards. Driven by him, the scale of pig raising in towns and villages in qingtian county has developed rapidly. At present, there are more than 500 enterprises in the county that slaughter more than 100 pigs annually.
Give back to society and show responsibility.
In 2018, Zhejiang Xinhongyuan Ecological Agriculture Co., Ltd. sold more than 30,000 commercial pigs annually, with an annual output value of 50.2 million yuan and a profit of more than 8 million yuan; In 2019, 42,000 commercial pigs were sold annually, with an annual output value of more than 58 million yuan and a profit of 10.16 million yuan, showing an increasing trend every year.
As the largest pig farmer in the county, Lai Jianbing made a fortune but did not forget to repay the society. During the epidemic period, he not only paid for the fight against the epidemic by himself, but also protected the citizens’ "food basket" with the greatest preferential strength in the case of rising pork prices.
In the face of honors and praises from all walks of life, Lai Jianbing only implicitly said: "I am a farmer, I was born and raised in the countryside, and my development and feedback are also in the countryside. I love my hometown very much." The persistence behind the words is affectionate but simple, just like when he chose to return to Qingtian and embark on the road of pig breeding 20 years ago.

Guangzhou’s resumption of work day: there are few people on the bus and subway, and the elevator in the office building is equipped with "special paper for buttons"

For the migrant workers in Guangzhou, 2020 is an unusual Spring Festival. In order to strengthen the prevention and control of pneumonia in novel coronavirus, the General Office of the State Council issued a notice on January 26th, extending the Spring Festival holiday in 2020 to February 2nd, and February 3rd is the day of returning to work, so it is necessary to go to work normally. As of February 3rd, 10 districts including Yuexiu, Tianhe, Huangpu and Nansha all increased their investment in epidemic prevention and control.

A few days ago, Zhaopin recruited and released the "Investigation Report on Enterprises’ Resumption of Work in the Spring Festival of 2020", which also showed that as many as 41.7% of the companies in the workplace planned to resume work on February 3.

Bus and subway are the first choice for Guangzhou office workers to commute. February 3 is the first day after the Spring Festival holiday. In the past morning rush hour, Nanfang Daily and Nanfang+reporters visited the public transportation hub in the city and found that the platform was empty and the flow of people was still scarce. There is no sign of returning to work for the time being. According to statistics, in the past few days, the closer to the resumption of work day (February 3), the passenger flow of Guangzhou subway showed a step-by-step decline.

Entering the return peak, the subway passenger flow is gradually decreasing.

February 3rd is the return to work day of some units. The reporter found on the subway and bus that although it has entered the peak of return trip, there are not many people and cars on the road. At 9 o’clock in the morning, at the Kengkou Station of Metro Line 1, there were not many people taking the subway. Due to the epidemic situation, the waiting time was obviously longer than before, but there were not many people on the bus. Everyone basically had a seat and everyone wore a mask.

Line 5 passing through Zhujiang New Town and Railway Station used to be one of the most crowded lines in Guangzhou, especially in several transfer hubs. However, during the visit on February 3, the number of people on Line 5 was also small, which was generally more than that on Line 1 and Line 2. Although the seats were full, it was far from crowded and the space was relatively loose. "Some enterprises have not officially gone to work yet, and many employees are still returning home. The flow of people these days is not large, slightly more than before." The subway staff at Yangji Station told reporters. Although the station was deserted, the reporter still saw that some staff members disinfected the facilities in the subway from time to time and did not dare to relax.

In Binjiang East Plate, due to the lack of subway coverage, the Pearl River Swimming Pool Bus Terminal has become a large-scale bus hub on Binjiang East Road, where buses such as No.24, No.182, No.8, No.229 and No.266 originate. In the past, on the morning of every working day, office workers who took bus No.266 to work in Zhujiang New Town always queued up early, with a soybean milk bread in their hands, for fear that they would not get on the bus. However, at 8: 30 am on February 3, the reporter visited the bus terminal and found that the station was empty, and there were only two or three passengers on a bus at most. The driver told the reporter: "Today is a little better. In the past few days, there were often empty buses."

The passenger flow statistics of Guangzhou Metro further confirm the coldness of returning to work. On January 30 (the sixth day of the year), the total passenger traffic of the network was 948,000, on January 31 (the seventh day of the year) it was 899,000, on February 1 (the eighth day of the year) it was 833,000, and on February 2 (the ninth day of the year) it was 799,000. As the Spring Festival holiday ended, the passenger traffic became less and less. In sharp contrast, in the last few days of the Spring Festival holiday in 2019, the passenger flow showed an increasing trend every day.

On February 8 last year (the fourth day of the year), the total passenger traffic of Guangzhou subway network was 4.605 million passengers, 4.772 million passengers on the fifth day of the year and 5.312 million passengers on the sixth day of the year. February 11, 2019 (the seventh day of the year) is the first working day after the holiday, and the total passenger flow has risen to 6.497 million, and the passenger flow has been rising all the way.

Research report: As many as 41.7% of the employees in their companies plan to return to work on February 3rd.

According to the Notice of Guangdong Provincial People’s Government on the Time for Enterprises to Resume Work and School Opening, except for special industries, the time for enterprises to resume work in this administrative area shall not be earlier than 24: 00 on February 9. These special industries include those necessary for ensuring urban and rural operation (water supply, power supply, oil and gas, communication, public transportation, environmental protection, municipal sanitation and other industries), those necessary for epidemic prevention and control (industries such as production, transportation and sales of medical devices, medicines and protective articles), those necessary for people’s daily life (industries such as supermarkets, food production, logistics and distribution) and other related enterprises that are important to the national economy and people’s livelihood, supply Hong Kong and Macao, and urgently need to resume work under special circumstances.

In fact, there are not a few employees involved in these special industries. Since the rapid development of the epidemic, employees of enterprises that produce, sell and transport medical devices, medicines and protective articles have cancelled their vacations and fought in the front line of fighting the epidemic. On expressways, national highways and bus stops, countless volunteers and staff take the temperature of drivers and passengers day after day, "no one is missing, no car is missing".

So, how many people need to return to work on February 3 after the Spring Festival holiday? Zhaopin released the Investigation Report on Enterprises’ Resumption of Work in the Spring Festival of 2020 by investigating 1644 enterprises and 11412 people in the workplace. The results also show that among the interviewed enterprises, as many as 41.7% of the employees plan to return to work on February 3, and 18.9% will extend the return time to February 10.

In addition, 12.5% of the respondents’ companies will return to work as planned for various practical needs, that is, employees will be required to arrive at their posts on January 31. From the perspective of proportional distribution, these enterprises account for a relatively high proportion in private enterprises and government/institutions. In terms of postponing the resumption of work, most joint ventures and state-owned enterprises strictly abide by the State Council’s call and concentrate on returning to work on February 3rd.

Looking at the data of enterprises returning to work from the perspective of cities, the survey report compares the proportion of enterprises returning to work later than February 2 in each city, and it can be found that the south-central cities in the forefront are obviously more than the northern cities.

Elevator rooms in some office buildings have been equipped with "special paper for buttons"

Although the situation of returning to work in Guangzhou is still deserted, for many units, people are still entering the state of returning to work. At this time, the epidemic prevention work cannot be relaxed.

The reporter visited the elevator room of some office buildings and found that the property company has prepared for the protection of office workers. In an office building on Tianhe South Second Road, the security guard at the gate will take the temperature of every employee. A plastic film has been pasted on the button area of the elevator room, and a box of paper is installed next to it. The warm reminder reads, "Please don’t take away the disposable elevator button special paper; The elevator is a secret space, please talk as little as possible or not. " The disinfection record of every hour of rotation is also posted in the elevator room.

Earlier, Academician Zhong Nanshan said in an interview that the epidemic should reach its peak in a week or ten days. Therefore, if you must return to work during this period, these three details must be noted:

First of all, you must wear a mask in the high-risk area of the office. The most dangerous place is the elevator room, where the air is extremely stagnant and the flow of people is the largest, which needs great attention. It is recommended to wear a mask when taking the elevator; Do not touch the elevator button directly, it is recommended to use the paper towel to block the button; Conditional units must frequently disinfect the elevator room, especially the button area.

The second highest risk is the canteen/restaurant. At the time of meal, a large number of people crowded into the canteen, which is the area with the largest flow of people and the highest density. It is recommended to take off your mask at the last moment when you sit down to eat; Eat at the wrong peak, avoid face-to-face dining, and avoid eating and talking; Pack up and go back to the station to eat alone.

The third high risk is the office, where people come and go, which is basically the flow of fixed personnel. Although it is less dangerous, it still needs attention. It is recommended to wear a mask and keep a moderate distance from the conversation; Keep good ventilation in the office; Disinfect office supplies with alcohol.

Why does the European Central Bank insist on raising interest rates?

On May 4, local time, the European Central Bank decided to raise the three key interest rates in the euro zone by 25 basis points, and the main refinancing rate, marginal lending rate and deposit mechanism rate will be raised to 3.75%, 4.00% and 3.25% respectively. Since July last year, the European Central Bank has raised its key interest rate seven times in a row, with a cumulative increase of 375 basis points, reaching the highest level since October 2008. It is rare for such a sustained and substantial interest rate hike, which will inevitably have a lagging impact on economic growth. European Central Bank President Lagarde even hinted that there may be further interest rate hikes in the future. Why does the European Central Bank insist on raising interest rates despite the possible economic recession?
According to the announcement issued by the European Central Bank, the next monetary policy decision will ensure that the level of policy interest rate can effectively promote the inflation rate to return to the medium-term target of 2% as soon as possible, and maintain the corresponding level for a long time if necessary. The rate hike will integrate future economic data, inflation trends and the transmission intensity of monetary policy, evaluate inflation prospects and adjust interest rate policies accordingly.
This statement has been very clear. The interest rate hike will continue, and we will not stop until we control inflation.

Let’s take a look at the rhetoric of the hawkish members of the European Central Bank’s Governing Council.
Martins, governor of Latvia’s central bank, said that investors should not expect the European Central Bank to end this unprecedented interest rate hike cycle in July, as predicted by most economists, and that the financial market’s bet that the European Central Bank will cut interest rates next spring is "obviously too radical". On the contrary, he thinks it is necessary to raise interest rates further in order to curb inflation. Dutch central bank governor Klass also holds the same view. "Our real problem now is that the core inflation rate is still too high," he said. In the case that the potential inflation rate is too high, the European Central Bank needs to continue to raise interest rates and hope to reach the inflation target of 2% sometime in 2025. Casimir, governor of the Slovak Central Bank, said that the fight against inflation is "far from victory, and there are still many things to be solved", and interest rates should be kept at a high level for a long time.
In fact, among the 26 members of the European Central Bank’s management committee, most of them are consistent with the hawkish position of President Lagarde, that is, the European Central Bank will continue to raise interest rates. Interestingly, a recent survey of European economists shows that most respondents generally expect the European Central Bank to raise interest rates twice, each by 25 basis points, making the benchmark deposit interest rate reach the peak of 3.75% in July. The market is optimistic about the end of the central bank’s interest rate hike. The most important judgment is that the Fed has begun to change its interest rate policy and bet that it will start to cut interest rates in July.
It is true that the Fed’s every move affects the nerves of the market. According to the data released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics on May 10th, the consumer price index (CPI) in April rose by 4.9% year-on-year, the 10th consecutive decline, the smallest increase since April 2021. From this point of view, the inflationary pressure in the United States has eased and is in a downward channel. With the lag effect and cumulative effect of raising interest rates gradually emerging and the banking crisis in the United States becoming increasingly prominent, it is logical for the Federal Reserve to start adjusting its interest rate policy in order to promote a soft landing of the economy. Therefore, the market generally expects that the probability of the Fed’s meeting to suspend interest rate hikes in June is 90.4%, and the probability of interest rate cuts in July is 38.1%. The Federal Reserve is likely to suspend interest rate hikes before Europe, and the market expects the European Central Bank to follow suit.

In this regard, Lagarde responded that the European Central Bank does not rely on the Federal Reserve in interest rate decision-making, and even if the Federal Reserve suspends interest rate hikes, the European Central Bank may continue to raise interest rates. At least from the current situation, the ECB’s monetary policy goal is still to curb inflation, and the interest rate hike cycle will continue until inflation is effectively controlled.
Look at the inflationary pressure in Europe. According to the data released by Eurostat on May 2, the harmonized CPI in the euro zone rose by 7% year-on-year in April, slightly higher than the 6.9% in March. In April, the core harmonized CPI rose by 5.6% year-on-year, down from 5.7% in March. Worst of all, food price inflation remains high, with an increase of 15.5% in March and 13.6% in April. In this regard, the European Central Bank’s judgment is that the overall inflation has declined, but the potential inflation is likely to rise significantly, and it will remain high in the next few months, mainly because of the sharp rise in energy costs. The European Central Bank will take any necessary action to achieve price stability and maintain financial stability.
At the same time, the economic performance in Europe is not optimistic. In the first quarter, the GDP of 20 euro-zone countries increased by 0.1% month-on-month, lower than the expected 0.2%. Germany, the locomotive of European economy, performed dismally. In the first quarter, German GDP shrank by 0.1% year-on-year, much lower than the growth of 0.8% in the fourth quarter of last year. The European Commission predicts that the euro zone economy will grow by 0.9% this year and 1.5% next year. Although it is possible to avoid economic recession, it still faces many challenges, especially the inflationary pressure.

For this reason, the European Central Bank is facing an arduous challenge, both to tighten monetary policy to control inflation and to try to avoid damaging the fragile economic recovery. In particular, the prospect of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine is unpredictable, which has brought a serious impact on European social economy. The soaring energy and commodity prices are reducing demand and restraining production, and at the same time, it has led to a sharp rise in food prices and a sharp increase in the cost of living for ordinary families in Europe. This is the main risk of potential inflation rising further, and it is also the main reason for the European Central Bank to strengthen its interest rate hike stance.
Looking into the future, the European Central Bank insists on the medium-term inflation target of 2%, but it can be expected to further slow down the rate hike. At the same time, in order to prevent economic recession, the European Central Bank will also introduce more flexible and effective supporting measures.

Xinhua commented on the EU’s "de-risk", why did European enterprises make a record investment in China?

  Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, November 5th Question: The EU "de-risks". Why do European enterprises make a record investment in China?

  Xinhua News Agency reporter Xu Supei

  According to the statistics of American Rongding Consulting Company, in the second quarter of this year, EU enterprises’ investment in green space in China soared to 3.6 billion euros, the highest level on record. At present, on the one hand, the EU imposes tariffs on China’s electric vehicles, on the other hand, EU enterprises represented by German automakers continue to deeply cultivate China. Rongding Consulting pointed out that the growth of European investment in China is "surprising" when the EU pursues the economic "risk-removing" policy.

  In fact, most of the recent investments of EU enterprises in China are aimed at promoting localized production, and avoiding the influence of geopolitical situation and trade barriers in China is one of the important reasons. This shows that although external shocks such as politicization of economic and trade issues have accelerated the restructuring of global value chains, the core factors that affect the restructuring are still technological development and the optimization behavior of market players. The importance of China as an investment destination has not changed, and the attractiveness of China market makes people unable to give up.

  Over the years, China has become a hot spot for international capital to compete for investment with its super-large-scale market, independent and complete modern industrial system, sufficient industrial workers’ reserves and generous policy dividends. Despite the slowdown in world economic growth and the overall downturn in global foreign investment, resource elements continue to flood into China. Rongding Consulting pointed out that many enterprises have carefully investigated other markets in the past few years and found that these markets are hard to compete with China in terms of cost, supply chain and logistics. Cook, CEO of American Apple, said that "there is no place more important than China" for Apple’s supply chain. Huang Jinbang, general manager of Qatar Airways Greater China, believes that the diversity and sustainable growth potential of the China market are the powerful driving force for Qatar Airways to deeply cultivate here for a long time.

  At present, "in China, for China" has become the core strategy for many foreign-funded enterprises to develop in China, and "investing in China means investing in the future" is the general consensus of global enterprises. Eight well-known foreign pharmaceutical companies, including Lilly, Pfizer, Bayer and Medtronic, have indicated that they will set up new R&D and innovation institutions in Beijing. A total of 3,496 exhibitors from 129 countries and regions participated in the enterprise exhibition of the 7th China International Import Expo being held in Shanghai, and the number of countries (regions) and enterprises exceeded the previous one. Zhong Zhonglin, CEO of Nippon China, said that for the first time in China International Import Expo(CIIE), Nippon "not only shows our innovative products and technologies, but also shows our long-term commitment and confidence in the China market". According to him, at present, Nippon has established 74 factories and 10 R&D centers in China. In August this year, Nippon launched the construction of Nippon Asia-Pacific R&D Innovation Center in Pudong, Shanghai.

  Behind "in China, for China", foreign capital continues to be optimistic about the development prospects of China market. China is continuing to create a market-oriented, rule-of-law and international first-class business environment; China has a large market scale and sufficient consumption potential, which constantly brings development momentum to foreign-funded enterprises; China is constantly improving the toughness and safety level of the industrial chain supply chain, giving full play to the advantages of a sound industrial supporting system, and supporting foreign-funded enterprises to deeply participate in the international cycle. The data shows that the rate of return of foreign direct investment in China in the past five years is about 9%, ranking among the top in the world.

  Rongding Consulting pointed out that compared with previous years, the strong growth of European direct investment in China is mainly concentrated in the automobile industry, and German automakers account for the vast majority of foreign direct investment in China related to automobiles in the European Union. Since Volkswagen first entered China more than 40 years ago, German auto companies have witnessed and participated in the continuous development of China’s auto industry. According to the report of PricewaterhouseCoopers, in 2023, the sales volume of pure electric vehicles produced by German automakers in China market increased by nearly 50% year-on-year, and the sales volume in China increased considerably. At the same time, German automakers are still upgrading their existing production facilities and promoting the localization of the supply chain. Ferdinand Dudenhofer, an authoritative expert in automobile economics in Germany and president of Bochum Automobile Research Institute, said that German and Chinese automobile companies are very much looking forward to strengthening cooperation. "If we can go hand in hand, the future of the automobile industry will be very beautiful."

  The so-called "going to risk" is tantamount to "going to development" and "going to opportunities". Facts have proved that only by encouraging independent innovation, embracing open cooperation and persisting in long-term doctrine can we have the opportunity to tread the waves in industrial innovation. As Finnish President Stub, who visited China a few days ago, said, protectionism and nationalism are rampant at present, which cannot be ignored.

Recently, the reporter accompanied the staff to carry out patrol work in the application area of Songling Forestry Bureau of Daxinganling Forestry Group Company, and came across a variety of wild animals in the forest area. Among them, the scene of roe deer and their friends enjoying themselves in the snow was unbearable.

The roe deer is one of the most common wild animals in the northeast forest region, and the northeast people call it "silly roe deer". Zhangzi’s curiosity is very strong. When he sees someone filming in the distance, he won’t run away, but stops in the same place and looks around to see what happened. In the cold winter, they either lie down and rest, chase and play, or feed to satisfy their hunger. This reporter took a picture of a group of six roe deer family playing and running in the snow.

Moose, also known as elk and Yi Dahan, has a brighter black color against the white snow, and they have thick fur to keep out the cold.

Lynx is the least afraid of cold among cats. They look very distinctive. Their faces are like tigers, and there are a bunch of 4-5 cm black tufts of hair standing up at the tips of their ears on both sides, like feathers on the helmets of military commanders in drama, which is very dignified and imposing. In the heavy snow all over the sky, it is light, moving around, and with its huge soles, it can even quickly chase its prey on a snowy embankment two or three meters thick. It weighs only 15-30 kilograms, but it can hunt wolves and deer when food is scarce, and it is regarded as a mysterious snowy night elf.

Since 2018, Songling Forestry Bureau has continuously improved wildlife habitat protection measures, innovated the grid monitoring process, introduced the "two-step" technology of mobile phone software, laid more than 40 sample lines, set up 140 infrared cameras, and the monitoring range reached more than 4,000 hectares, capturing more than 5,000 GB of effective monitoring videos. For the first time, the national second-class protected wild animals, gray wolf, Mountain hare, brown bear, red deer and lynx, were monitored. Complete monitoring of the national first-class key protected wild animals such as musk deer, mink bear, sable track and moose population foraging and other moving images; Wild birds under national second-class protection, such as swan, mandarin duck and merganser, frequently appear in the monitoring lens; The same infrared camera often captures the "same frame" pictures of many kinds of wild animals. This fully reflects the good biodiversity and ecological integrity, fixed habitat and complete food chain in Songling forest area, which provides an important foundation for continuing to study wildlife habits and habitats.
