[Introduction to Zhiyuan Xin] Grok of xAI opened its source as scheduled after seven days! Open the code behind Grok and let Musk slap his face at OpenAI. There are 8 MOEs with 314 billion parameters, and the weight structure is fully open. As soon as the project is launched, it has already snapped up 6k stars on GitHub.

When it comes to doing it, Grok of Musk xAI is really open source as scheduled!

Just now, xAI officially released the weight and architecture of the 314 billion parameter hybrid expert model Grok-1.

With a parameter of 314 billion, Grok-1 has become the largest open source LLM so far, four times that of Llama 2.

At present, xAI has not disclosed more information about Grok-1.

The information released by official website is as follows-

-The basic model is trained on a large amount of text data and has not been fine-tuned for any specific task.

The MoE of the-314B parameter has a weight of 25% that is active on a given token.

-In October, 2023, xAI started training from scratch using a custom training stack based on JAX and Rust.

Once online GitHub, Grok snapped up 6k stars and 586 Fork.

Project address: https://github.com/xai-org/grok-1.

Musk did not forget to ridicule OpenAI, "Tell us more about the" open "part of OpenAI …"

The new york Times commented that the original code behind the open source Gork is an upgrade of the future battle that the richest man in the world controls AI.

Will open source make technology safer or will it make it more abusive?

Musk, an "open source supporter", set an example and got involved in this heated debate in the AI community, and gave the answer with actions.

Xiao Zha also commented on Grok just now. "It didn’t really impress people. There are too many parameters of 314 billion. You need a bunch of H100, but I have already bought it."

A magnetic chain, the world’s first largest model open source.

This time, xAI open source Grok-1 is licensed by Apache-2.0, so users can freely use, modify and distribute the software.

The repository contains JAX sample code for loading and running the Grok-1 open source weight model.

Users need to download checkpoint, put the ckpt-0 directory in checkpoint, and then run the following code to test:

pip install -r requirements.txtpython run.py

This script will load the checkpoint and the samples in the model on the test input.

Because the model is large and the parameters reach 314B, a computer with enough GPU memory is needed to test the model with sample code.

Moreover, because the implementation efficiency of MoE layer in this repository is not high, this implementation is chosen to avoid the need to customize the kernel to verify the correctness of the model.

Through the Torrent client and the following magnetic link, you can download the weights.

magnet:? xt=urn:btih:5f96d43576e3d386c9ba65b883210a393b68210e&tr=https%3A%2F%2Facademictorrents.com%2Fannounce.php& tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.coppersurfer.tk%3A6969&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.opentrackr.org%3A1337%2Fannounce

More details

Andrew Kean Gao, a Stanford researcher, browsed model.py and introduced more information about the architecture of Grok. There are no additional clauses for the 314 billion parameters.

8 mixed experts (2 active experts), 860B active parameters. It uses rotation embedding instead of fixed position embedding.

-tokenizer vocabulary: 131,072 (similar to GPT-4) is equivalent to 2 17.

-Embedded size: 6144(48*128)

-Transformer layer: 64 (each layer has a decoding layer: multi-head attention block and density block)

-Key size: 128

Multi-head attention module: there are 48 query headers and 8 key values.

Dense block (dense feedforward block):

-Width factor: 8

-The hidden layer size is 32768.

Each token selects 2 out of 8 experts.

The embedding size of the rotation position is 6144, which is meaningful, and it is the same as the input embedding size of the model.

-Context length: 8192 token

-Accuracy: bf16

Finally, attach a summary map.

Netizen: Open source battle is coming.

The AI community is already boiling!

The technical community points out that the highlight of Grok is the use of GeGLU and normalization method in the forward feedback layer, and the use of interesting sandwich norm technique.

Even OpenAI employees have expressed their strong interest in Grok.

Jim Fan, a senior scientist in NVIDIA, said, "The largest open source model in history was trained by a world-class team and released through the magnetic chain Apache 2.0.

314B parameter, mixed expert model (8 experts and 2 active). Even the active parameter scale (86B) exceeds the largest Llama model. I can’t wait to see the benchmark results and what kind of applications people can build with it. "

Sebastian Raschka, an AI researcher, said that Grok is more open-source than other open-source modular models that usually have restrictions on use. However, it is less open source than Pythia, Bloom and Olmo, which provide training code and reproducible data sets.

Boris Dayma, the founder of Craiyon, analyzed the code of Grok-1 in detail.

Netizen indigo said that in order to "understand the universe", it seems that the xAI team deliberately set the parameter as "pi 314B", which is the largest open source model at present. It is expected that Llama 3 will join Grok’s open source battle in June this year.

After Grok opened the source, a big wave of fine-tuning is coming.

The first generation Grok has surpassed Llama-2-70B.

In November, 2023, xAI launched its first generation of big language model, Grok, and formally joined the big model war.

At that time, Grok used Twitter as part of the "Premium+" subscription service, with a monthly fee of $16.

XAI said that Grok’s design was inspired by The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, which can answer almost all questions and help people pursue understanding and knowledge regardless of background or political stance.

Grok’s original version, Grok-0, had 33 billion parameters, and then xAI introduced Grok-1, which was improved several times to support the Grok chat robot on X.

According to the data released by xAI, in a series of benchmark tests such as GSM8K, HumanEval and MMLU, Grok-1 outperformed LLMA-2-70b and GPT-3.5, although it was far from GPT-4.

At that time, Grok was not only able to handle the user content generated in real time on the X platform, but also had a little sense of humor, which injected a little vitality into the simple AI.

While providing information about the latest hot events (whether political or sports), it can also be clever and even occasionally sarcastic.

Why did Musk choose open source?

After mocking OpenAI as "CloseAI" several times, Musk really chose to open his own big model.

Of course, there must be commercial considerations behind this.

As a market leader, OpenAI has no reason to open source the model code behind ChatGPT.

Now, by releasing Grok’s code, Musk firmly rooted himself in the latter camp. This decision may make his xAI surpass Meta and Mistral AI.

Llama’s open source has brought many benefits to Meta, and almost made Xiaozha climb out of the quagmire of the meta-universe.

Mistral AI, which is just a small start-up, is also famous for its open source strategy and is recognized by the industry as "OpenAI in Europe".

The open source version may encourage developers and potential customers to adopt their own models more quickly, which actually plays a marketing role.

The feedback and improvement from the developer community on the open source version of Grok may also help xAI to speed up the development of new versions, which can choose to open source or keep exclusive rights.

For example, like Mistral, it promises to continue to release open source versions while retaining the most advanced models for paying customers.

Musk has always been a supporter of open source technology. Even Tesla has opened the source code of some parts of the car, and his social media platform X has published some algorithms for content ranking.

"There is still work to be done, but this platform is by far the most transparent, truth-oriented and not a high threshold platform," Musk said today in response to comments on the open source X recommendation algorithm.

Although OpenAI is still far ahead in the AI field, the war between open source and closed source is far from over.

Should the AI model be open source? Some people think that this powerful technology must be protected from intruders, while others insist that the advantages of open source absolutely outweigh the disadvantages.

As a market leader, OpenAI has no reason to open source the model code behind ChatGPT.

Now, by releasing Grok’s code, Musk firmly rooted himself in the latter camp.

This decision may enable his xAI to finally surpass Meta and Mistral AI.

　　At present, mycoplasma pneumoniae, influenza, streptococcus pneumoniae and other respiratory pathogens are in the epidemic stage, many people are recruited, and some people have mixed infections with multiple pathogens. What is mixed infection? Who is prone to mixed infection? How to prevent it? Look at the authoritative answer.

　　What are the more popular pathogens at present?

　　Autumn and winter are the seasons with high incidence of respiratory infectious diseases in children. In addition to mycoplasma pneumoniae infection, influenza virus, adenovirus, respiratory syncytial virus and so on have appeared one after another. This is in line with the previous fashion trend.

　　At present, the most popular pathogens are mycoplasma pneumoniae, influenza virus, respiratory syncytial virus and streptococcus pneumoniae. These respiratory tract infections usually have symptoms such as cough, expectoration, runny nose, fever and general fatigue.

　　Mixed infection means that more than two pathogens are infected at the same time. Most clinical "mixed infections" are mainly the combination of viruses, bacteria and mycoplasma.

　　Who is prone to mixed infection?

　　Children, the elderly and people with basic diseases are susceptible to respiratory diseases, and they are also more prone to mixed infection of multiple pathogens. Children should strengthen protection, avoid cross-infection, avoid contact with patients, and reduce the chance of being infected.

　　There is mixed infection, how to treat it?

　　After mixed infection, early differential diagnosis is very important. Now most medical institutions can detect influenza virus, Covid-19 and mycoplasma, which is helpful to implement targeted treatment as soon as possible.

　　If influenza or Covid-19 is complicated with mycoplasma infection or bacterial infection, it is usually necessary to add antibacterial drugs, and at the same time give symptomatic treatment such as fever reduction, cough relieving and phlegm elimination, but the use of antibacterial drugs needs the guidance of doctors. For most patients, after taking medicine, drinking plenty of water and taking enough rest according to the doctor’s advice, the condition can be relieved in 1 to 2 weeks.

　　If the fever lasts for more than 72 hours or the body temperature exceeds 40℃, or if you cough frequently, it will affect your normal life, or if you have symptoms such as chest pain, wheezing, hemoptysis, shortness of breath or dyspnea, poor spirit and frequent vomiting, you should go to the hospital in time.

　　How to prevent mixed infection?

　　Vaccination against influenza is a safe and effective way to prevent influenza, which can effectively reduce the risk of influenza virus infection, hospitalization and serious illness and death in autumn and winter. It is recommended that all ≥ People who are 6 months old and have no vaccination contraindications are actively vaccinated against influenza.

　　In daily life, you should wash your hands frequently, open more windows for ventilation, cover your nose and mouth as much as possible when coughing or sneezing, and wear a mask when necessary. During the epidemic period of respiratory diseases, try to reduce going to places where people gather.

　　Keep enough sleep and eat high-quality protein and foods rich in vitamin A and vitamin C in your diet. Do a good job in family hygiene. If any family member has respiratory tract infection, pay attention to isolation. People with chronic respiratory diseases or other chronic basic diseases should try their best to reduce going to places where people gather.

"After the launch of’ Guizhou Health Code’, it not only reduced the work pressure of front-line duty personnel, but also made us more aware of the health status of every resident." Li Yong, deputy general manager of Guiyang Huaguoyuan Community Property, said. Since the outbreak of Xinguan pneumonia, the Huaguoyuan community with 450,000 residents has vigorously carried out joint prevention and control, and set up 43 epidemic prevention stations at various entrances. With the continuous improvement of the epidemic situation in Guizhou, enterprises have gradually resumed their work and production, and the flow of people entering and leaving the community has been increasing. In addition to disinfection of bacteria, dining guidance and material support, scanning the "Guizhou Health Code" has become an essential link.

In fact, it’s not just the flower orchard community. In recent days, "code scanning" has become everyone’s "routine action" in both rural and urban areas. At the critical moment when the situation of epidemic prevention and control in Guizhou continues to improve and the order of production and life is accelerated, in order to improve the scientificity, accuracy and pertinence of epidemic prevention and control, Guizhou began to use the "Guizhou Health Code" in various basic units of social prevention and control, public places and public transport in the province on February 22, so as to quickly identify key personnel at the first time, control them in time after entering Guizhou, effectively cut off the transmission channels, and ensure the people in the province to resume work and study safely and orderly.

Accurate data prevention and control "one person, one yard" efficient management

"I thought I was driving a private car and didn’t need to be isolated at home. I didn’t expect to be discovered by the health code as soon as I went out." On February 29, Lin, who lives in Guanshanhu District of Guiyang City, showed "orange" on his health card when he entered the supermarket to scan the code. After verification, Lin took a private car from Henan to Guiyang a week ago, but went out without permission without observing at home for 14 days. After scanning the code, he was recognized by the system and was immediately advised to return home for isolation.

Coincidentally. At the intersection of Zunyi East Station Expressway, Wang’s private car was also stopped by the staff at the epidemic prevention site. By scanning the Guizhou health code, Wang’s health card shows red. Later, it was learned that Wang returned to Guizhou by car from Hubei on the same day. According to the prevention and control measures of Zunyi City, Wang was arranged to go to the Party School of Xinpu New District in Zunyi for 14 days of centralized isolation observation.

"The’ Guizhou Health Code’ personal health card is a dynamic health card, which will collect data in real time according to everyone’s travel trajectory, so as to help relevant government departments grasp the epidemic information in time and respond quickly to special situations, thus achieving accurate prevention and control." Li Gang, deputy director of Guizhou Big Data Development Administration, said.

As the first national big data comprehensive experimental zone in China, in recent years, Guizhou has vigorously promoted the deep integration of big data and the real economy, promoted the transformation and upgrading of a large number of enterprises in the direction of digitalization, networking and intelligence, and realized the innovation of production methods and business models, which has effectively promoted the high-quality development of Guizhou’s economy. These achievements were also fully demonstrated during the epidemic prevention and control period. Among them, "Guizhou Health Code" is a typical application of big data in the "epidemic" in Guizhou.

According to reports, the Guizhou Health Code is jointly developed by the Social Prevention and Control Group of the Leading Group for Epidemic Prevention and Control of Guizhou Province, organized by the Provincial Big Data Bureau, the Provincial Health and Wellness Committee, the Provincial Public Security Department and Guizhou Big Data (Group) Company in Yunshang, using big data technology to comprehensively collect and identify personal information of citizens, and automatically generate exclusive health pass documents that meet the needs of travel and return to work during personal epidemics.

The voucher system brings together the most complete and authoritative database of epidemic prevention key population in the province, such as confirmed personnel, suspected personnel, secret observation personnel, nucleic acid detection personnel, people returning from Hubei, and home observers. According to the five control measures of "hospital isolation, centralized isolation, home isolation, self-observation, and normal traffic", it is corresponding with five colors of "purple, red, orange, yellow and green", and different personnel will scan the code.

"Guizhou health code is implemented with one person, one code, consistent person and card, dynamic update and universal in the whole province, so as to realize the identification of’ code’ and prevent data from’ epidemic’." Li Gang said. At present, "Guizhou Health Code" has become an important tool for the government and enterprises to grasp the health status of returned workers. All industrial parks, office buildings and project site entrances in the province are equipped with "Guizhou Health Code", and personal health cards show "yellow" and "green" personnel, and they can log in to the province with bright codes at one time. After their body temperature is normal and protective measures are implemented as required, they can not only enter and leave key areas such as communities, shopping malls, parks and public service institutions normally.

Inter-provincial "bright code" mutual recognition helps enterprises to resume work and production

The generation of a QR code seems simple, but it is closely related to the development of enterprises and the return to work of migrant workers. According to statistics, with the rapid and orderly progress of the resumption of work and production in various places, more than 200,000 people enter Guizhou by means of transportation such as civil aviation, highways, trains and high-speed rail every day, and the relevant migrant workers in Guizhou are also continuously exported to all parts of the province, and the pressure on the prevention and control of the epidemic is further increased.

"After the resumption of work, Zunyi high-speed railway station gradually resumed operations. Now the average flow of people is 6,000-7,000 people per day, which greatly increases the work pressure of our health inspection and temperature measurement at the station." Su Jixun, instructor of the etiquette police station of Xinpu Branch of Zunyi City Public Security Bureau, said. However, this situation was effectively alleviated after February 29. Su Jixun told reporters that after the "Guizhou Health Code" was officially promoted in Zunyi, health cards with five colors enabled the staff to quickly distinguish the health status of passengers and achieve rapid passage in 2 seconds. At the same time, the staff also advised more than 10 passengers whose scan code results were not green or yellow, and cooperated with relevant departments to carry out epidemic prevention and control work.

The launch of "Guizhou Health Code" has further smoothed the flow of people in the province, and the resumption of work and production in the province is in full swing. In order to enable migrant workers to return to work smoothly and quickly, Guizhou has also actively established a mutual recognition mechanism for health information with provinces and cities where migrant workers mainly flow out, such as Zhejiang, Guangdong and Chongqing, so as to open up the data of key personnel among provinces and realize cross-recognition of key personnel data, which is convenient for migrant workers to return to work.

At present, Guizhou Province has signed a memorandum of cooperation with Chongqing Municipality, and through data sharing and technology docking, mutual recognition of "Yukang Code" and "Guizhou Health Code" and "Bright Code" has been realized, so that people are not gathered and work is not delayed.

"Inter-provincial mutual recognition and interoperability of health codes has broken this dilemma, lifted some obstacles in the resumption of work and production, and improved the efficiency of returning to work." Song Jie, the person in charge of Hongfujin Precision Electronics Guiyang Co., Ltd., located in Guiyang Comprehensive Insurance Zone, said that one "code" is universal, which not only reduces the time required for filling out forms everywhere, but also accelerates the efficiency of verification and passage, and also effectively reduces contact and avoids cross-infection. Up to now, 9,500 people have returned to work by using health codes to manage employees, of which more than 400 returned workers from other provinces have successfully returned to work through isolation+nucleic acid detection+code scanning.

Strengthen technical control to ensure information accuracy and privacy.

"I slept at home and found that my green card became Huang Ka." Recently, Ms. Wang in Huaxi District of Guiyang City is a little confused. Because she hasn’t been to other places recently, and she hasn’t been exposed to cases, but the health card that was green the day before turned yellow overnight, which made her very depressed.

Fortunately, according to the Interim Measures for the Promotion and Use of Health Codes in Guizhou Province issued by the General Office of Guizhou Province, yellow health code personnel can pass normally in public places under the condition of normal temperature measurement and self-protection, because their travel has not been affected. However, the "yellow label" on the health card still brings some inconvenience to your life.

In order to regain "healthy green", Ms. Wang called the "Guizhou Health Code" service hotline 9610096. At the prompt of the customer service staff, she quickly got in touch with the epidemic prevention personnel in her community, and finally helped Ms. Wang to modify the information through the investigation and confirmation of the community epidemic prevention personnel.

"If an individual disagrees with the personal exclusive health information automatically judged by big data, he can apply for manual review by telephone." Peng Jing, director of Guizhou Tongfu Call Center, said that in order to ensure the accurate operation of "Guizhou Health Code", Guizhou Province opened the hotline of Guizhou Health Code 9610096 in time, and the call center insisted on 24-hour uninterrupted operation, and arranged nine full-time staff to answer, handle and give feedback to the relevant questions reflected by the citizens. "The problems reflected by the citizens are generally solved online in time. If they can’t be solved, the operator will record them and report them to the relevant departments in time." Peng Jing said.

In order to effectively handle the opinions and suggestions of the masses, guizhou public security, Provincial Health and Health Commission, Provincial Big Data Bureau, Yunshang Guizhou Group Company and other units have set up technical support teams. After receiving the citizens’ inquiries and complaints, the call center will transfer each collected opinion to the corresponding departments according to the principle of "who confirms, who provides, who updates and who verifies" for the data questions and inquiries that need to be verified, so as to ensure that all questions are settled and answered within 12 hours. In response to the problems and suggestions collected by the hotline, the Guizhou Provincial Bureau of Big Data organized a technical research team to study overnight and solve them in time.

"In order to ensure the safe and stable operation of the system, Guizhou Big Data Group has deployed nearly 400 cloud servers, 50 cloud databases, 50TB of storage, exclusive bandwidth and a series of cloud security services." The relevant person in charge of Guizhou Big Data Group in Yunshang said that in order to ensure the smoothness and stability of the system and the information security of the masses, Guizhou Big Data Group in Yunshang not only upgraded the system, but also strengthened product safety prevention and monitoring, and conducted many safety inspections on the "Guizhou Health Code" system and its safety management and control mechanism. At present, no system information leakage has been found.

In the next step, Guizhou Big Data Group in Yunshang will continue to improve and optimize the system functions, ensure the stable operation of the system, and implement the instructions of Guizhou Province on "insisting on managing points, controlling lines and smoothing the surface, and doing a good job in prevention and control of key populations and key parts" with practical actions, and fully guarantee the safe and orderly resumption of work, production and schooling during the epidemic in Guizhou.

1905 movie network news Xianyang Zhou, the director and producer who is known as the "golden partner", and Chi-long To, the famous producer and screenwriter, shot hand in hand, starring Han Geng, Andrew, No.1 Zhang Huiwen and Guo Xiaodong, especially starring Carina Lau, and the detective comedy starring Feng Jiayi, Luo Jiaying, Yu Yang, Wang Zixuan and Cai Wenjing released a special production of "Building a Golden City" today.

Prague shooting is beautiful and romantic, and the legendary antique classic car is photographed in kind, refreshing the luxury and retro new height of Chinese movies; The gold medal production team has exquisite details, strives for perfection, breaks through the limitations of the traditional era, creates a mysterious and detached overhead world, and brings a new fantasy visual experience to the audience. The film will be released nationwide on January 18, 2019.

Exotic customs create "detective time and space" retro luxury car drives fantasy visual effects

The story background of the movie Detective Hawthorne is set in the rich and secretive border city — — Huang Jincheng, taking a bizarre murder case as the breakthrough point, shows the legendary detective Hawthorne’s experience in solving crimes. In order to make the story more innovative and fantastic, the production team set aside the background of the times and interpreted the classic detective story with a fashionable and energetic style and a young perspective. Accompanied by dynamic music, Prague’s magnificent European castles, endless forests, clear blue lakes and steam trains whizzing by blur the geographical boundaries; The combination of colorful lighting and scene switching creates a sense of the future with staggered time, which makes people enter a "detective time and space" that belongs to this film as if they were immersed in it.

Hawthorne, the great detective, breaks the traditional pattern, which is not only reflected in the creation of the big scene, but also displayed through the detailed scenery. All interiors strive for perfection, from the train to a screw, which are genuine, and make full use of color matching, photography angle, lens language and other ways to bring a strong sense of shock.

In the newly released stills, a large number of antique classic cars are displayed: Bentley S2, the originator of flying, Mercedes-Benz 770, Baroque Angel BMW502, all of which are legendary models with priceless vintage texture. Such a refined production standard makes the film blockbuster temperament come to life, and the mysterious and elegant Prague, cool and gorgeous production collide with exciting detective stories, which brings subversive fantasy impact.

East-west integration interpretation of retro aesthetics gold medal production team escort

In the special edition of "Building Huang Jincheng", the color matching of modern fashion style and bold trend runs through, making each character’s modeling unique and outstanding. The fusion of eastern and western aesthetics and the ingenious use of fashion elements bring unique designs, which help to shape different characters: paranoid and exquisite "Hawthorne" Han Geng, funny and informal "Bao Lang" Andrew, sexy "Bai Mudan" Zhang Huiwen and noble "Mrs." Carina Lau. The visual effect produced by the collocation of ancient costumes and color collision expands the tension of role expression.

The realization of the overhead and fantasy style of Detective Hawthorne is not only supported by Lionsgate Pictures of the United States, but also supported by the Hollywood special effects team, and it depends on the escort of the gold medal production team. Director Xianyang Zhou won the "Best New Director" in the 2013 Hong Kong Academy Awards; Screenwriter Chi-long To’s unique narrative technique has been recognized by the industry, and the film has won many box office achievements; Editing Zhang Jiahui won the "Best Editing Award" at famous film festivals at home and abroad for six times; The artistic style is controlled by Huang Bingyao, the winner of the 40th Taiwan Golden Horse Award "Best production designer". Photography is led by Wu Qiming, who was nominated for the "Best Photography" in the Hong Kong Academy Awards for three times; The music was tailored by Yusuke Hatano, winner of the Hong Kong Academy Awards "Best Original Film Music". How such an all-round heavyweight lineup of Starlight Glimmer will present this mystery story with both mysterious texture and romantic atmosphere makes people daydream and look forward to it.

The film "Detective Hawthorne" will land in the national cinema on January 18, 2019, and a bizarre story that spans time and space will soon be unveiled.

"Alone Army" is a work supported by major literary and artistic projects in Sichuan Province. It is based on a real history. In February 1935, in order to cooperate with the strategic shift of the main force of the Central Red Army, the newly established guerrilla column in southern Sichuan undertook the task of harassing and containing some of the main forces of the enemy. With the support of the people of Sichuan, Yunnan and Guizhou, the guerrilla column in southern Sichuan fought to the death with the Kuomintang army whose military strength was dozens of times that of its own, fighting alone, and most of the Red Army soldiers died heroically. The film is a creative, innovative and sincere film with distinctive theme, lofty conception, rigorous structure and touching story.

Some battles on the way to the Long March, such as the bloody Xiangjiang River, crossing the Jinsha River skillfully, crossing the Dadu River forcibly, flying over the Luding Bridge, crossing the snowy mountains, and capturing Lazikou, as well as some major historical events, such as the Zunyi Conference, have been reflected and presented in movies in the past. The film "Alone Army" tells the story of the guerrilla column of the Red Army in southern Sichuan, which is an affectionate creation and theme expansion of the Long March film, and even fills a gap in the Long March film. The creative team led by the relevant leaders of Xingwen County, Yibin City, Sichuan Province and Liu Zhihuan, the chief producer of the film, dug deep into history, studied history, put a historical fact that was almost forgotten on the screen and presented it artistically and aesthetically, thus continuing the red culture in the film language.

Yang hu, the director of Alone, is good at shooting military and war movies. After watching this movie, we can see his unremitting efforts and active exploration. In order to restore the real historical scenes, especially the war scenes, "Alone Army" filmed the blocking war, siege war, sports war, etc., which is vivid, dynamic and layered, and can meet the requirements of the current audience, especially the young audience, for the audiovisual quality of cinema films. For such military and war movies, the film’s creative team is adept at grasping the whole history, highlighting the truth of the details, attracting the audience into the cinema, and effectively accepting and spreading the spirit, thoughts, emotions, especially lofty beliefs contained in the red movies.

The plot of "Alone Army" is tortuous, and the rhythm is fast. However, in limited space and time, the main creator also strives to create personalized and full images of Red Army commanders and soldiers, which forms great tension in the setting of character relations and produces strong dramatic conflicts, making the connotation of the film richer and deeper. "Being alone is not alone", because the spirit of being alone is immortal. "Alone" expresses the soldiers’ precious faith and lofty realm through their arduous battles and life course of dying, and naturally expresses this expression in the development of plot and scene, which brings shock to the audience and realizes maximum empathy, resonance and resonance.

People’s Daily Overseas Edition (07th Edition, January 19, 2024)

　　On the morning of the 16th, a citizen of Linyi reported to Qilu Evening News and Qilu that the blind roads in some sections of Huaihai Road in Junan County were "slimmed down", with a width of less than one foot, only 20 cm, and there were broken roads and obstacles. Ju’ nan County Housing and Construction Bureau said that the blind road was not in compliance, which was caused by the construction error of the construction party and ordered it to rework again. Fang Dongfang Road and Bridge Construction Corporation said that the blind road on Huaihai Road is not a problem if the construction is strictly in accordance with the engineering drawings.

　　On the afternoon of 16th, the reporter came to Junan County. Huaihai Road is the main road across Junan County. On Huaihai Road, the reporter selected the section from West Outer Ring Road to Longshan Road, and found along the way that this 19.4-kilometer "slimming" blind road suddenly "turned sharply" and suddenly "congested", which made it impossible and blocked.

　　What will happen when the blind road meets the manhole cover? Usually, the blind road will avoid the manhole cover and bypass it. However, a section of the blind road on Huaihai Road in Junan, when the blind road meets a row of manhole, the blind road does not bypass, but "crosses in one step". At the intersection of Huaihai Road and Longshan Road, the blind road on Huaihai Road, east of Longshan Road separated by only one intersection, has a width of 50 cm, which is in sharp contrast.

　　According to the official website of the People’s Government of Junan County, on July 3, 2017, the Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau of Junan County invited tenders for the upgrading and reconstruction project of Huaihai Road in Junan County. The construction funds came from financial funds, with a total investment of about 211,410,600 yuan, with a total length of 19.4 kilometers, including road, pipe network construction, greening (including original greening transplantation) and paving. The planned construction period is 100 days.

　　According to this, Shandong Dongfang Road and Bridge Construction Corporation was the first successful candidate, and the project manager was Wenhu Li. On August 9, 2017, as the key project of "New Urbanization Promotion Year" in Junan County, the upgrading and reconstruction project of Huaihai Road in Junan County officially started construction.

　　According to "People’s Republic of China (PRC) National Standard Barrier-free Design Code" (hereinafter referred to as "Design Code"), there are two types of blind roads. One is the marching blind road, which is strip-shaped, and its function is to guide visually impaired people to walk safely and reach barrier-free facilities smoothly; The other is the cue blind road, which is dot-shaped, and is mostly located at the starting point, ending point and corner of the traveling blind road. The cue blind road can inform the visually impaired that the spatial environment of the route ahead will change. The width of the traveling blind road and the prompting blind road should be 0.3-0.6m. The blind road should be continuous, and there should be no obstacles such as telephone poles, stay wires and trees in the middle. The distance between blind roads and obstacles should be 0.25—0.5m.

　　However, on the newly laid blind road on Huaihai Road, no matter the main traffic intersections, or the intersections of communities and units, there is no dot-shaped warning blind road, and a traveling blind road is directly disconnected after being laid at the intersection.

　　On the afternoon of 17th, the reporter contacted He Kechang, the urban construction management section of the Housing and Construction Bureau of Junan County. He Kechang said that the road upgrading and reconstruction project of Huaihai Road in Junan County had not been completed, and the project supervision company and the Housing and Construction Bureau had discovered the problems related to the blind road in time, which were caused by the construction mistakes of the construction company Shandong Dongfang Road and Bridge Construction Corporation. They had ordered the company to rework it in strict accordance with the requirements.

　　The project started on August 9, 2017, and the planned construction period is 100 days. As of October 17, 2018, it took more than one year. Why hasn’t the project been completed yet? He Kechang introduced that the construction was delayed mainly due to the influence of the construction consumables market and seasons, and there is no accurate time for the completion period.

　　At 14: 50 on the 18th, the reporter interviewed Shandong Dongfang Road and Bridge Construction Corporation. A staff member surnamed Liu in the administrative department said that after implementation, they strictly followed the engineering drawings and there was no problem with the blind road on Huaihai Road.

The 618 e-commerce shopping festival is in full swing. As the first e-commerce shopping festival to help economic recovery after the epidemic has eased, this year’s "618" is particularly interesting. On the one hand, e-commerce giants such as Suning Tmall JD.COM warmed up early to kick off the price war, especially the "J-10%" money-saving plan launched by Suning was directed at JD.COM.

On the other hand, due to special reasons this year, the setting of the audience at the party was cancelled and there were fewer bustling scenes. Besides the price war, the variety show without the audience became the second attraction.

At present, Suning, Tmall, etc. have started the rhythm of the party officials to announce the stars. According to incomplete statistics, in terms of the star lineup of Suning Super Show, there are Shen Teng, Guan Xiaotong, Extreme Challenge Men’s Team, Roy, Jason and Qingni … The star flavor and popularity are no worse than the Double Eleven.

The latest news is that the party will launch activities such as grabbing gold coins and smashing golden eggs. The highest welfare is even a special room with a discount of 6.18%. Star artists will also bring explosive goods in the live broadcast room.

It’s not enough to look at it. In addition to looking good, it is necessary to sell goods, which has always been the focus of e-commerce parties. Gather a lot of popularity through rich and interesting content, and finally directly convert these popularity into e-commerce traffic, which helps brand marketing. It is important to look good, and it is equally important to convert and sell goods.

How to make the "party economy" look good and take into account the transformation? This year’s Suning 618 Super Show and the e-commerce fusion live super show model created by Oriental TV have opened up new ideas for cooperation between Taiwan and the Internet and set a new benchmark.

Live broadcast+explosion (goods), "J-10%" money-saving plan breaks through 10 billion subsidies.

After the silence of the epidemic, this year’s 618 is the most lively consumption festival in the retail industry in the first half of the year.

Accordingly, the escalation of price war is characterized by not playing with routine, especially Suning’s "J-10%" money-saving plan and "Millions Plan" show full sincerity to consumers. The "J-10% plan" has no complicated gameplay, and the price will be reduced when it comes, which will always be 10% lower than that of friends.

In order to meet the 618, which is getting better and better, Suning announced that the price of 66 origin direct selling storm would be reduced by 20% on the basis of J-10%, and promised that the price of Suning’s shopping on June 6 would be 20% lower than the ex-factory price. These not only reflect the advantages of Suning’s supply chain, but also express the sincerity of Suning 618 to consumers. Strong supply chain strength combined with variety live super show is believed to be able to truly penetrate the deep-water consumer market.

Variety Live+Stars (People) to Create a New Engine of Consumption

Suning is known as the "sports committee member" of the electric business community, and has always been the industry leader in the revitalization of star resources.

Last year’s double eleven night, Suning invited almost half of the entertainment circle, and combined with Hunan Satellite TV to create a stage feast comparable to the "Spring Festival Evening", which won the first real-time ratings in the same period.

Under such resources, for Suning, with the banner of 618, the content productivity of stars, and people carrying goods, a more three-dimensional live content scene can be built.

In the previous water test, the three-hour live broadcast, Morphy’s "Shampoo Stem", Jiang Zhenyu’s bubble water, and the rice dumplings, paper towels and duck blood vermicelli soup bargained by aunts all achieved gratifying sales. Online celebrity product "Morphy Xiaoniang" sold out 100,000 boxes in 9 minutes.

The variety show live broadcast successfully tested the water with goods, which also provided confidence for the 618 Super Show.

Live broadcast+full scene retail (field), Suning-style live broadcast is the new track.

Previously, Suning.cn successively acquired Wanda Department Store and Carrefour China, and completed the retail layout of the whole scene. The integration of offline and online scenes is the focus of e-commerce upgrade competition, and Suning has firmly grasped the initiative in online and offline integration.

The biggest difference between Suning 618 Super Show and previous e-commerce parties is that it is a variety show with TV variety+live broadcast+full-scene interaction. The purpose is to give full play to Suning’s full-scene advantages, surround users and bring beauty closer. The variety e-commerce live broadcast has revitalized "people" and "goods", and the whole scene linkage has provided a "field" for this live broadcast.

Combining the "people" and "goods" mentioned above, the biggest attraction of Suning 618 Super Show and other parties is to link the online and offline business resources of the brand with the advantages of so many powerful stars and the explosion of Suning’s supply chain, and closely combine the party, variety show and e-commerce live broadcast. Is this a new track for live e-commerce?

In short, for researchers in related industries, in a word, Suning 618 Super Show is worth seeing.

In 2024, diet pills are still hot.

Lilly Mufengda was approved for listing in China

On May 21st, National Medical Products Administration official website showed that Lilly Mufengda (Telpotide Injection) was approved by the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) to improve blood sugar control in adults with type 2 diabetes.

Telpotide is a GIPR and GLP-1R agonist injected once a week. GLP-1 and GIP are two natural incretins. Studies show that GIP can reduce food intake and increase energy consumption, thus reducing body weight. When GIP is combined with GLP-1 receptor agonist, it may have a greater impact on patients’ blood sugar and weight.

It is worth mentioning that telpotide can produce better weight-losing effect than Smegrupeptide, which is known as the "slimming medicine". Relevant research data show that the weight of the subjects with 5mg and 10mg of Mufengda decreased by 7.8kg and 10.3kg on average, and that of the group with 1mg of Smegliptide decreased by 6.2kg on average.

Regarding the approval of this drug, Lilly said that the approval of telpotide injection represents a breakthrough in the field of diabetes research and development.

On May 21st, local time, Lilly, which listed on the US stock market, rose by 2.55%, and its latest closing price reached US$ 803.17 per share, a record high. At present, its total market value reached US$ 763.337 billion, making it the highest pharmaceutical company in the world.

There is a big room for growth in the diet pills market.

At present, due to the high price of GLP-1 and the low level of patients’ cognition, the penetration rate of GLP-1RA drugs in China is low. This also means that there is a large space for drug penetration in the future. According to the data released by Zhuozhi Consulting, in developed countries in Europe and America, the GLP-1 market has accounted for about 20% of hypoglycemic agents, while in China, the GLP-1 market started late and patients have high price sensitivity, so there is still much room for growth.

According to the GLP-1 Industry Blue Book, the global GLP-1 market will be about US$ 19.85 billion in 2022, and it is expected to grow rapidly to US$ 55.2 billion in 2030, accounting for 57% of the global diabetes drug market. China Merchants Securities Research Report mentioned that GLP-1 drugs have a broad market prospect in the field of metabolism. It is estimated that by 2030, the market scale for type 2 diabetes and obesity will exceed 100 billion US dollars.

According to the Insight database, Novo Nordisk’s GLP-1 receptor agonist Smegrupeptide tablets and injections have been approved for the treatment of diabetes in China. At present, 112 new GLP-1 drugs have entered the clinical stage in China.

Recently, a number of concept stocks of diet pills in the A-share market revealed the layout progress.

Borui Medicine said that as of April 27th, 2024, all subjects in BGM0504 injection for treatment of type 2 diabetes and indications for weight loss had been enrolled in the Phase II clinic, among which all subjects in the 5mg dosage group for diabetes indications had been excluded, and one case in the 10mg dosage group had not been excluded.

The GLP-1 product liraglutide injection phase III of Shuanglu Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. is currently in the process of clinical trial data collation, and CSR is expected to be completed in September. GLP-1-Fc fusion protein (dulaglutide) is currently in the process of phase III clinical trial data collation, and at least one of the above two varieties will be declared in the second half of the year.

Hanyu Pharmaceutical revealed that as of May 2, the total amount of contracted orders for liraglutide preparations and various GLP-1 APIs of the company was nearly 600 million yuan, and some orders have been shipped one after another; The preparation production base has obtained GMP certification of the European Union and cGMP certification of the United States.

Fosun Pharma said that liraglutide (intended for diabetes indications) is in the phase III clinical trial stage in China; Smegliptide injection and deglutinin injection (intended for diabetes indications) are in the phase I clinical trial stage in China.

The research and development intensity of diet pills concept stocks is much higher than that of A shares.

The research and development of innovative drugs requires long-term and high-risk investment. Pharmaceutical companies need strong scientific research strength and financial support to develop an innovative drug in numerous researches. High-intensity research and development is essential to deus ex in the crowded diet drug track.

According to the statistics of Securities Times and DataBao, the total R&D expenditure of diet pills concept stocks in 2023 was 23.858 billion yuan, accounting for 10.26% of the total operating income, and the R&D expenditure accounted for 4.09 times of the A-share level in the same period.

Hengrui Pharma, Fosun Pharma, Huadong Medicine, Lepu Medical, Livzon Group and Xinlitai have 6 concept stocks whose R&D expenditure in 2023 exceeds 1 billion yuan. Among them, Hengrui Pharma’s R&D expenditure in 2023 was 6.15 billion yuan, ranking first; In 2023, the company obtained 72 clinical approvals for innovative drugs and 4 clinical approvals for generic drugs; Five clinical trials were included in the list of breakthrough treatments.

The future prospects of many diet pills concept stocks are optimistic by the organization. According to the statistics of data treasure, according to the unanimous prediction of more than five institutions, there are 11 concept stocks whose net profit growth rate will exceed 20% in 2024 and 2025. As of the close of May 22, among these concept stocks, the rolling P/E ratios of Prius, Sunshine Nuohe and Orrit are less than 30 times. (Data Bao Liang Qiangang)

At the Chongqing Auto Show a few days ago, Changan Ford officially released the "Sports Edition".

This car is not a derivative of the familiar Mondeo sedan-it is a model with a 2.0T powertrain.

To be more specific, this "Mondeo Sport Edition" was actually made by Ford China for the China market before, but now with the help of powertrain adjustment, the product name has been changed to below Mondeo.

01

origin

According to Changan Ford, Mondeo is actually a "family sequence" now. The addition of this sports edition expands Mondeo’s product line, and also makes Mondeo family become a mid-to high-end car product line with four powertrains, including 1.5T and 2.0T fuel assemblies of cars, a 1.5T hybrid assembly and the 2.0T hybrid assembly carried by this sports edition.

As for changing EVOS to "Mondeo Sports Edition", is it ok? Personally, I don’t think there is anything wrong with it. A good and well-known product line, constantly expanding derivative models is also the routine operation of car companies, but it is rare to keep only one product line.

For example, Chinese people are familiar with it. In fact, there were hatchback version, sedan version and coupe sports products at the beginning. The latest car company to do this is Toyota-expanding from a single model brand to a product line including cars, sports coupes.

Therefore, "Mondeo", as the best-selling and most recognized product of Changan Ford in China market at present, can be regarded as "bringing the old with the new" by adding a previous "unpopular" model, and may receive additional effects.

Moreover, considering that Mondeo doesn’t have many new car moves in the China market this year, it is also very reasonable to continue to drive the popularity of Mondeo by adding a "Mondeo Sports Edition".

02

motive force

So, what about the Mondeo Sports Edition after switching to Ford’s "high-horsepower E-hybrid"?

First of all, Mondeo Sports Edition is a powertrain with only E-hybrid 2.0T EcoBoost, and the 2.0T+8AT version has been cancelled. This is also different from the power version of Mondeo car, which has the strongest power output in the family, so it is reasonable to call it "sports version".

This 2.0T hybrid adopts the power split configuration E-CVT gearbox, so like most hybrid models of Toyota and Honda, it can only be blue.

But the biggest difference between it and hybrid products such as Toyota and Honda is that Ford, an American brand, is very persistent in its pursuit of performance.

First report the parameters of Mondeo Sports Edition:

The 2.0T high-power engine with 212kW and 403N·m is the most powerful engine in the hybrid powertrain. Compare the high thermal efficiency engines that hybrid models like to use now. Most 2.0T hybrid engines are only 150 and 160kW at most, and the high thermal efficiency of 1.5T is about 110kW. Even for the 2.0T engine used for pure fuel vehicles, the power above 200kW is actually very limited-the torque is mostly below 400 N m.

Not only that, Mondeo Sports Edition also has a high-power motor of 140kW and 320N·m, which is much stronger than the output of Toyota THS motor with the same configuration of only 83kW, and also more than the 135kW of Honda iMMD, even stronger than many P3 motors with DHT architecture.

Of course, the gearbox of Mondeo Sports Edition is still in power split configuration, so the output power cannot be directly superimposed. The comprehensive power output of this set of E-hybrid 2.0T is 227kW, which has reached the output level of 3.5L V6 engine in terms of performance. Although it is less than Ford’s 2.7T V6 in that year, the torque output is estimated to be comparable.

Changan Ford said that with the help of Mondeo Sports Edition and the motor, the zero-hundred acceleration can run within 6 seconds, while the middle acceleration of 40-80kph can achieve 2-second acceleration. Therefore, Mondeo Sports Edition is really worthy of the title of "sports" at least in terms of motivation.

In actual driving, Mondeo Sports Edition still retains three driving modes: standard, energy saving and sports, and at the same time, it has an L gear, which is equivalent to strong kinetic energy recovery. However, there is no choice of pure electric mode, which may be a difference between Mondeo Sports Edition and Japanese Hybrid.

In the standard mode, the output of Mondeo Sports Edition will be abundant, and the throttle opening of about 10% and 20% will be smoother and smoother than that of traditional fuel vehicles. Moreover, when the full throttle goes down, the speed can be pulled up very smoothly, and the power output is also very direct, but there is no shift feeling of the traditional gearbox.

Compared with the standard mode, the sport mode mainly makes the output more rapid at the initial throttle opening of 5%, and there will be a feeling of rushing out. And the acceleration of the whole middle section will be sharper, especially in the corner, when you turn out and add the throttle, the release of the whole power will feel faster. It is guessed that 2.0T will stay in the high-speed range more. This actually shows that the power split configuration is closer to the driving feeling of the oil truck, and the motor mainly participates in the middle and low speed working conditions.

The energy-saving mode can be said a little more. First of all, the starting state will be smoother and the power will be slightly restrained. It is suitable for starting with a small throttle opening, which is very soothing. In the energy-saving mode, the acceleration feeling of basically stepping on the throttle opening of 30%-50% will not be too strong, that is, the normal speed increase, which is very oily, not the surging output of the motor. When the full throttle is depressed, there will be an obvious power lag, which seems to confirm whether the driver really needs power, and there will be an obvious power release after about two seconds.

In addition, there is a problem in the energy-saving mode, that is, in the state of following the car at a speed of 30 to 40 kilometers per hour, you can obviously perceive the state of electromechanical coupling, and there will be some slight rush.

As for the fuel consumption performance, it should be said that it is the advantage of Ford Mondeo Sports Edition, with an average speed of about 40 kilometers per hour, 22-degree air conditioning and 3 wind protection throughout the journey, and the average fuel consumption is 5L/ 100 kilometers. Compared with other media, this figure is really a little high. Some media even ran out of 3.9L/ 100 km without air conditioning, while most media ran out of 4.7L. Later, I summed up the reason why my car ran out of 5L, which should be that I kept driving L gear and skidded too little (L gear is more suitable for downhill road conditions).

03

control

The motivation of Mondeo Sports Edition is enough, but in terms of chassis control, this car is not as "sporty" as expected, but prefers more comfort that China consumers like. This is actually consistent with the current Mondeo sedan. After all, the chassis structures of the two models are also consistent.

In terms of driving experience, Mondeo Sport Edition uses a 20-inch wheel hub size, and matches the low rolling resistance and some sporty tires like Mapai EC6. Therefore, at first, you will feel that the contact feeling of this car is hard when driving to road joints and potholes, and the vibration transmission is still relatively high. Just thanks to the soft cushion, the problem of hard contact can be better solved.

However, when you drive in continuous curves and national roads for an hour, you will find that the chassis of Mondeo Sports Edition is still a comfortable route. When encountering a big pothole, the compression of the whole suspension is still very large, so as to make the impact softer as much as possible, and the left and right shaking of the whole body is more obvious.

Moreover, in corners, as long as you turn sharply with a faster speed, the roll of the whole body is relatively obvious. Fortunately, the roll rate will be slower, and it will not suddenly collapse. If you meet the acceleration belt in the corner and you are still accelerating, the rear axle will slip more, which is very similar to the Mondeo car.

Because I have been driving for a long time, personally, I feel that the Ford Mondeo Sports Edition is not as "whole" as the electric horse on the chassis, and the whole body swings relatively large, which may also be related to the different rigidity of the body, and the whole suspension is indeed softer.

However, it is also beneficial to adjust the direction of comfort. When driving on a flat national road, the vehicle will have a good sense of suspension, and the bushing can control the ups and downs of the road properly, which is a classic American cart feeling.

In addition, during this test drive in Dali, there were a lot of dense speed bumps and pavement patches on a section of the road. This kind of high-frequency vibration will actually bring very uncomfortable driving feeling to sports vehicles. For example, I have driven on the same section, which can only be said to be unsatisfactory.

But this time, if you switch to the Ford Mondeo Sports Edition, you can obviously feel the high-frequency vibration generated by driving through the dense speed bump, but it is soft enough to be transmitted to the driver. The suspension can eliminate many shocks in a short time, and there will be no feeling of jumping at the tail of some cars, which is more comfortable than the electric horse.

In terms of steering, Ford’s adjustment of Mondeo Sports Edition is also in line with the "taste" of China consumers, and the whole steering feel is light and the electronic taste is obvious. Especially at low speed, it is easy to turn the steering wheel, and the virtual position is slightly larger, which is obviously different from the global model Ford electric horse.

Perhaps Ford China’s thinking is not to adjust the steering wheel too heavily when driving a big car in China. After all, it is inconvenient to cross the street and back into the warehouse. Fortunately, after the speed rises, the steering with the speed will be heavier and the center will be good, which is suitable for long-distance driving.

04

static

After talking about the dynamics of the new Mondeo Sports Edition, let’s briefly review the static performance of this "not a new car".

The first thing to say is that this car is called "Mondeo Sports Edition", which means that Changan Ford does not think it is an SUV, but a hatchback. Changan Ford also emphasizes that the height of the sports version is 1.6 meters, which is just stuck on the dividing line between SUV and car, so it is still the positioning of hatchback coupe.

But you said that it is not an SUV-in fact, the full-load ground clearance has reached 168mm, which is even superior to many urban SUVs in terms of passability.

Besides the selling point of powertrain, another main selling point of Mondeo Sport Edition is space.

In terms of size, the length of the car is about 4.92 meters, the width of the car is about 1.92 meters, and the wheelbase has reached 2945 mm.

According to the actual measurement, the leg space in the back row of this car is quite ample, and the knee space is close to one meter. On the premise that the second row is upright, it has a trunk space of 527L, and the platform is quite flat. After the second row is put down, it becomes a large space of 1550L, which is also practical enough.

In terms of appearance, the new car mainly adds the body color of Xiao Ri Orange, and comes standard with 20-inch wheels. The ordinary version and the ST-Line version are also different in design: including bright black ornaments on the outside, bright black window strips, ST-Line logo, etc. On the interior, the ST-Line version uses bright red decorative strips, as well as sports seats, ST-Line embroidery and so on.

The rest of the configuration is no different from the previous EVOS, and the 27-inch 4K large screen, SYNC+ 2.0 system, Wolong awakening welcome induction system and so on are retained.

05

Summary of driving an official

In terms of price, the Mondeo Sports Edition is not expensive either-starting from 209,800 yuan, and the ST-Line version is 229,800 yuan.

The extra 20 thousand yuan is mainly because the ST-Line version has a separate appearance kit. The seat configuration is equipped with heating and ventilation memory and B&O audio, and the safety configuration is equipped with front radar, knee airbag, panoramic image and parallel auxiliary functions. Obviously, Changan Ford is probably thinking that young consumers don’t care about this 20,000 yuan, and they can sell a little more.

In a word, Changan Ford added a sports version to its own Mondeo family, which brought the strongest power system in the whole Mondeo family, a more dynamic and personalized appearance. I think it is also an innovation of Changan Ford in the mid-to high-end car market, further amplifying the sound volume and product options of Mondeo.

For some young consumers, they want a big car with better sports performance, and if they think L is too serious-then Mondeo Sports Edition is very suitable.

And the Mondeo Sport Edition is not behind in the powertrain. The high-horsepower hybrid is superior to any opponent with a price of 200,000 yuan, and it will not lose face.
