Alone: A creative, innovative and sincere film.

"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.

A "slimming" blind road in Junan allows citizens to take a "cat walk"

  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.

10 billion subsidies, 1.2 billion red envelopes, star live broadcast, 618 super show opens up new ideas for e-commerce

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.

The big news of "slimming medicine", the world’s first pharmaceutical company with market value has reached a new high! There is a huge room for improving the industrial penetration rate, and these A-

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)

Test drive Ford mondeo sports edition: high-powered hybrid, better than Toyota

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.

Ten leeway securities regulatory bureau initiated self-inspection and on-site inspection of bonds in its jurisdiction to "early warning and mine clearance" in advance.

  Our reporter Wu Xiaolu

  On May 9, Heilongjiang Securities Regulatory Bureau released the random sampling results of the on-site inspection objects of corporate bond issuers in 2023. Since April, multi-local securities regulatory bureaus have started the self-inspection or on-site inspection of corporate bonds in the jurisdiction in 2023. According to the incomplete statistics of the website of the CSRC, as of May 9, a total of 13 local securities regulatory bureaus have carried out self-inspection and on-site inspection of bonds in their jurisdictions, of which 10 local securities regulatory bureaus have issued a "double random" on-site inspection list, and 4 local securities regulatory bureaus have carried out self-inspection of corporate bonds or ABS (Note: Henan Securities Regulatory Bureau has carried out both self-inspection and on-site inspection).

  Some people in the industry told reporters that on-site inspection and self-inspection of bond issuers are routine actions of the regulatory authorities, but this year’s self-inspection shows the characteristics of increasing the number of inspections, expanding the scope and being targeted.

  Fei Chao, general manager of the Quality Control Headquarters of Caida Securities Investment Banking Committee, told the Securities Daily reporter that the normalized regulatory inspection and self-inspection work is conducive to strengthening the risk management and control of the surviving bonds, supervising the bond issuing enterprises to fulfill their obligations in a standardized manner, and urging the trustee to perform their duties and responsibilities, which is conducive to better protecting the rights and interests of investors and promoting the stable and healthy development of the bond market.

  Self-inspection and on-site inspection

  Judging from the random sampling list of 10 local securities regulatory bureaus, most local securities regulatory bureaus selected one or two bond issuers as the "double random" on-site inspection targets in 2023. As for the reasons for the on-site inspection, the local securities regulatory bureaus said that it was to implement the requirements of the the State Council and China Securities Regulatory Commissions on establishing a "double random" spot check mechanism.

  The securities regulatory bureaus in Beijing, Jiangsu, Fujian and Henan have successively issued notices to carry out comprehensive self-examination or designated self-examination. Judging from the object of self-inspection, Beijing Securities Regulatory Bureau requires that issuers with surviving bonds as of April 30 should carry out self-inspection of bond business; Fujian Securities Regulatory Bureau and Henan Securities Regulatory Bureau require that as of April 30, issuers and original rights holders of surviving corporate bonds and ABS conduct self-inspection. In addition, the Fujian Securities Regulatory Bureau also requires relevant intermediaries to conduct self-examination; Jiangsu Securities Regulatory Bureau appointed 385 bond issuers to conduct self-examination and self-correction on the surviving bonds.

  "Self-inspection of bonds is the proper normalization of bond supervision. Expanding and standardizing the scope of self-inspection is the optimization of bond supervision in the new stage and the key to the stable development of the bond market." Tian Lihui, dean of the Institute of Financial Development of Nankai University, said in an interview with a reporter from Securities Daily.

  A related person from the bond financing department of a brokerage told reporters that the normalized on-site inspection or self-examination will help to find problems in advance and "early warning and demining" in advance.

  The 2023 System Work Conference of the China Securities Regulatory Commission mentioned, "Strengthen comprehensive judgment and forward-looking response, and steadily and orderly resolve risks in key areas such as private equity funds, local trading venues, and bond defaults." The 2023 bond supervision work conference of the China Securities Regulatory Commission proposed, "comprehensively deepen the prevention and resolution of key bond risks, strive to further converge the risk of bond default, and protect the legitimate rights and interests of investors."

  Regarding the reasons for the self-inspection by the securities regulatory bureaus in the four places, Fei Chao said, "The regulatory authorities aim to further transmit the regulatory pressure through the normalized inspection system, clarify the regulatory priorities, and effectively implement the decision-making arrangements of the 2023 CSRC System Work Conference and the Bond Supervision Work Conference to ensure the stable and healthy development of the bond market in the jurisdiction."

  Self-examination and on-site inspection are not "two choices". On April 24, 2023, Henan Securities Regulatory Bureau issued the self-inspection notice of corporate bonds in its jurisdiction, and on May 6, 2023, it released the "double random" extraction list of the on-site inspection objects of corporate bond issuers in its jurisdiction.

  In the notice of self-inspection, Henan Securities Regulatory Bureau stated that if the issuer of corporate bonds and the original owner of ABS found violations of laws and regulations in the self-inspection stage and took timely rectification and remedial measures, Henan Securities Regulatory Bureau would handle them as appropriate according to the seriousness of the circumstances and the harmful consequences; For issuers and original rights holders who refuse to conduct self-examination, fail to conduct self-examination seriously, and fail to complete self-examination on schedule, as well as issuers and original rights holders who fail to truthfully reflect the situation and deliberately conceal illegal acts during self-examination, Henan Securities Regulatory Bureau will focus on and strictly deal with them in subsequent on-site inspections.

  The Beijing Securities Regulatory Bureau also stated in the self-inspection notice that on the basis of the self-inspection work of corporate bond issuers, the Beijing Securities Regulatory Bureau will carry out on-site inspection according to the work arrangement.

  Judging from the self-examination papers of corporate bond issuers issued by the local securities regulatory bureau, the regulatory authorities focus on four aspects, namely, solvency, information disclosure, fund raising, corporate governance and commitment fulfillment.

  Among them, in terms of solvency, the self-inspection draft requires the city investment issuer and the real estate enterprise issuer to fill in the special indicators of self-inspection respectively. "This is a new requirement put forward by the regulatory authorities this year." A related person from the bond financing department of the above-mentioned brokerage firm told the reporter that it may be because the scale of bonds issued by city investment companies is relatively large, and the potential risks of real estate enterprises are relatively high, so they have become key enterprises.

  "Since the self-inspection work is to promote and standardize bond issuance, and city investment companies and real estate enterprises are often highly leveraged, they are required to fill in special indicators and make more demanding information disclosure, which is the need for risk prevention and market stability." Tian Lihui said.

  "Combined with the key concerns of corporate bond review issued by the Shanghai and Shenzhen Stock Exchanges in 2021, this is a specific regulation made by the regulatory authorities in combination with key concerns and related information disclosure requirements, aiming at guiding and urging issuers and related intermediaries to improve corporate bond information disclosure quality, effectively arranging risk of debt of enterprises in related industries, and doing a good job in risk prevention." Fei Chao said.

Talking about military affairs | Stimulated by the conflict in Naka? Azerbaijan urgently purchases "Jilong" fighters.

Recently, Azerbaijani media reported that Azerbaijan Air Force purchased JF-17 Thunderbolt Block3 light fighter (called "Xiaolong" in Chinese) produced by pakistan international airlines Consortium, and the number of purchased fighters is expected to reach 21.

This figure is not even a fraction of the air force of a big country. However, considering that the total number of active fighters of the Azerbaijan Air Force is only 36 (including MIG -29 fighters, MIG -21 fighters, Su -25 attack aircraft, etc.), these 21 JF-17 Block3 fighters will become the absolute main force of the Azerbaijan Air Force after delivery.

Then, why did Azerbaijan purchase JF-17 Block3 fighters in bulk? Is there a deeper meaning behind this incident?

"Xiaolong" Block3 (Pakistan called JF-17 "Thunderbolt" Block3) made its first flight in Chengdu.

The Naka conflict made Afghanistan accelerate the purchase of "Xiaolong"

The author believes that the most direct driving factor for Azerbaijan to get JF-17 Block3 fighter is the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. The Naka conflict between Azerbaijan and Armenia. From September 27, 2020 to October 10, 2020, the two sides reached a ceasefire agreement for the first time. However, just a few minutes after the agreement was reached, the armed forces of the two countries clashed again. It was not until November 10 that a comprehensive ceasefire was formally established with the strong intervention of Russia.

However, both Azerbaijan and Armenia are well aware that the ceasefire agreement reached now is only temporary, and since 1989, armed conflicts have broken out between the two countries many times. Moreover, in this Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, Armenia suffered a great loss, and only kept control of a few areas such as the capital of Nagorno-Karabakh. Therefore, the Armenian side will never let it go, and it is likely to accumulate strength and wait for the opportunity to retaliate.

In this case, Azerbaijan must be prepared for the next possible conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh, so purchasing new fighters from abroad is one of the most powerful preparation measures. You know, on December 30th, 2020, Almugahed Anwar Khan, Chief of Staff of the Pakistan Air Force, just announced that JF-17 Block3 fighter was officially put into mass production in Kamla Aircraft Factory of pakistan international airlines Consortium. Then, according to the time of receiving fighters reported by Azerbaijan’s domestic media, it means that among the first batch of JF-17 Block3 fighters put into mass production, there should be some orders from Azerbaijan’s air force in addition to Pakistan’s own orders.

Moreover, Azerbaijan’s domestic media mentioned that these 21 JF-17 Block3 fighters will be delivered within 10 years, which is indeed a bit too long in terms of time. According to the author’s analysis, on the one hand, compared with the previous Block1/2, JF-17 Block3 fighter does have a larger technological upgrade, so from the beginning, the production speed of pakistan international airlines Kamla Aircraft Factory will be slower, and it will take time to gradually increase the production capacity. On the other hand, it is obvious that Azerbaijan is preparing for the next large-scale armed conflict with a time limit of 10 years.

With the successive delivery of JF-17 Block3 fighters, the oldest and backward MIG -21 combat opportunity in Azerbaijan Air Force was eliminated first. After that, some Su -25 attack aircraft and MIG -29 fighters that have reached their flight life will also be replaced by JF-17 fighters. In this way, if war breaks out between Azerbaijan and Armenia again in 10 years, Azerbaijan’s air force with 21 JF-17 fighters will be able to stand on its own, instead of relying on Turkish air force’s F-16 fighters to fight against Armenian air force.

The most exciting purchasing factor: high cost performance

In fact, in terms of time, as early as 2015, a country once promoted JF-17 fighters to Azerbaijan, and this country is Turkey, which has always maintained friendly relations with Azerbaijan and Pakistan. At that time, Azerbaijan hoped to purchase a new type of fighter with affordable performance and meeting the requirements in bulk to replace the old fighters in active service of its air force. Turkey wanted this order very much, but it didn’t have a suitable model, so it recommended the JF-17 fighter jet jointly developed by China and Pakistan to Azerbaijan. In that year, pakistan international airlines Kamla Aircraft Factory had completed the production task of Pakistani Air Force JF-17 Thunderbolt Block1, and began to switch to the upgraded Block2. Therefore, the Azerbaijani military inspected JF-17 Thunderbolt Block2 light fighter, and the Turkish side also promised to integrate advanced weapons and equipment such as air-to-ground guided ammunition and photoelectric aiming pods developed and produced in the country on this fighter. In this way, Turkish military enterprises can also take a slice of the contract for purchasing JF-17Block2 light fighters from Azerbaijan.

By the beginning of 2019, after more than four years of "running-in", Azerbaijan’s negotiations with Pakistan and Turkey on purchasing JF-17 fighter jets have begun to enter the implementation stage of specific details. However, unexpectedly, on December 27th, 2019, Armenia couldn’t wait to receive the first batch of four state-of-the-art Su -30SM dual-engine dual-seat multi-purpose heavy fighter from Russia. In this way, the Armenian Air Force soon formed an equipment performance advantage over the Azerbaijani Air Force, and the JF-17 Block2 fighter plane that the latter originally planned to purchase was obviously unable to counter the Su -30SM dual-engine dual-seat multi-purpose heavy fighter.

Therefore, Russia took this opportunity to actively promote Su -35 and MiG -35, two advanced fighter planes with emphasis on air combat, to counter the Su -30SM dual-engine, two-seat and multi-purpose heavy fighter of Armenian Air Force. The Azerbaijani military delegation was invited to visit aviation enterprises in Russia in April, 2020. After comparison and analysis, the MIG -35 fighter with a relatively cheap price (about US$ 45 million) and a common engine with the MIG -29 was finally selected. Moreover, the pilots of Azerbaijan Air Force also personally tested the MiG -35 fighter and expressed satisfaction with its flight performance and airborne equipment.

After that, the Azerbaijani military formally proposed to Russia the intention of purchasing MiG -35 fighters in bulk. Unexpectedly, after the outbreak of the Naka War in September 2020, Russia frozen the consultation with Azerbaijan on the purchase of MiG -35 fighters. Of course, in order to be fair, Russia did not provide support to the Armenian Air Force, which made it impossible for the four Su -30SM dual-engine, two-seat multi-purpose heavy fighter equipped by the country to take off. As a result, when the Turkish Air Force F-16 fighters "stranded" in Azerbaijan directly participated in the war, they quickly took control of the air superiority over the Naka area, and there was basically no suspense about the outcome of the war between the two sides.

On November 10, 2020, after the two sides formally ceased fire under the supervision of Russian peacekeeping forces, Azerbaijan finally decided to purchase JF-17 fighter jets from Pakistan without hesitation. Of course, this time Azerbaijan has chosen the latest Block3 version instead of the Block2 version in 2015. In terms of performance, Block3 version is weaker than Su -30SM heavy fighter in terms of flight performance, such as ceiling, flight speed, maneuverability and bomb load, and has certain advantages over the latter in terms of airborne avionics system and airborne weapons and ammunition.

Xiaolong can carry many types of precision guided ammunition.

Su -30SM heavy fighter is equipped with NO11R passive phased array radar, while JF-17 Block3 fighter is equipped with foreign trade active phased array radar newly developed in China. According to CLP 14, the research and development unit of this type of radar, the performance of JF-17 equipped with active phased array radar has reached the same level as that of AN/APG-81 equipped with American F-35 fighters. Therefore, JF-17 Block3 fighter is superior to Su -30SM heavy fighter in fire control radar performance.

In addition, according to the information disclosed by the Pakistan Air Force, JF-17 Block3 fighter will also be equipped with foreign trade models of a new generation of air-to-air missiles developed by China, namely PL-10E short-range combat air-to-air missile and PL-15E long-range air-to-air missile. Especially PL-15E long-range air-to-air missile, its overall performance has surpassed the most advanced AIM-120D long-range air-to-air missile in the United States, and it is the best long-range air-to-air missile in the world at present. In this way, with the powerful combination of active phased array radar and PL-15E long-range air-to-air missile, JF-17 Block3 fighter can take the lead in attacking Su -30SM heavy fighter in over-the-horizon air combat. Previously, the Pakistan Air Force’s F-16 Block52 fighter shot down the Indian Air Force’s Su -30MKI fighter by firing AIM-120C long-range air-to-air missiles in the air battle in February 2020, which proved that medium or light fighters can also defeat heavy fighter by adopting appropriate tactics. Therefore, by purchasing JF-17 Block3 fighters, Azerbaijan can also gain experience from Pakistan on how to fight against Su -30SM heavy fighter.

In addition, from the point of view of logistics support, JF-17 Block3 fighter is also superior to MIG -35. First of all, Turkey, Pakistan and Azerbaijan have maintained good diplomatic relations for a long time, which can continuously guarantee the supply of airborne ammunition and spare parts. Moreover, JF-17 Block3 fighter adopts ——RD-93MA medium thrust turbofan engine, which is also a development model of Russian RD-33 series, so the engine support system of MIG -29 fighter can be used. Of course, if Azerbaijan is worried that it may be "stuck in the neck" by Russia in the future, it is also possible to use the WS-13 medium thrust turbofan engine developed by China on its JF-17 Block3 light fighter.

People’s Daily: On New Year’s Eve, everything you eat and don’t eat has a head start.

  The Spring Festival is the most important festival in Chinese. One of the most important contents of the Spring Festival is the New Year’s Eve dinner.

  Dinner on New Year’s Eve is called New Year’s Eve.

  New Year’s Eve is very important, and many places call it "family fun", which is an important family banquet. Amid the cheerful firecrackers and the laughter and laughter of the Spring Festival Gala broadcast by CCTV, it is the warmest and happiest moment in the world for the whole family to sit together, share wine and delicacies, and bid farewell to the old year and welcome the new year together. Especially for the elderly, the reunion of their families has comforted and satisfied them spiritually. Looking at healthy children and lively and lovely children and grandchildren, the smile of the elderly is more stretched and warm than ever.

  It can be said that the New Year’s Eve dinner is the most delicious, sweet and sometimes the most expensive dish in a year. More than 30 years ago, people were looking forward to the Chinese New Year. In a way, they were looking forward to this "big meal". Children, in particular, entered the "twelfth lunar month" gate and counted them with their fingers. I remember when I was a child, most of the neighbors in the courtyard were living in poverty, and there were few opportunities to eat meat and fish at ordinary times, not to mention those famous cooking and fancy pasta. When friends get together and talk about eating good food, they are all looking forward to the New Year, especially the New Year’s Eve. The dishes of New Year’s Eve are the most in a year, both vegetarian and cold and hot. Generally, there are at least 8 dishes and more than a dozen. Only then will the adults let the children eat.

  In fact, the so-called good things that were eaten at the New Year’s Eve dinner in those days are as common as ever at today’s dinner table, and can be eaten every day. But not then. Because of the lack of materials, most of them are supplied by ticket. Even if you have some money, you can’t buy what you want. Pork, fish, peanut oil, preserved eggs, beer, sugar, tea, etc. are all rationed according to the population or family, and supplied by ticket. National Day, New Year’s Day and Spring Festival sometimes increase the supply items and quantity, for example, each person can supply half a catty of pork, and each household can buy two jins of candy and several boxes of Daqianmen cigarettes. Many families will "diet" and "cut down on meat" during the period near the Chinese New Year. I haven’t seen meat stars in the dishes for more than ten days, so I should eat as little white flour as possible and keep steamed buns. Pork tickets are saved and bought at one time on the eve of Chinese New Year. In this way, in addition to keeping the bag for jiaozi, you can also stir-fry rice flour meat and even stew braised pork. Once such a "reduced" stomach is released, it is followed by a sharp increase in gastrointestinal diseases. Every year on the 30th, the hospital is very busy. The patient has nothing else, most of which are the problems that come out. In the final analysis, it is the word "poor" that caused the disaster.

  More importantly, the New Year’s Eve is an auspicious day for family reunion. On New Year’s Eve, no matter how far apart and how busy the work is, people always want to go back to their homes, have a reunion dinner and meet their loved ones who miss them so much. Spring Festival travel rush is the largest and most spectacular "migration" to go home in the world, and those "migration troops" who have worked tirelessly and traveled long distances in anxious to return all expect to arrive before the New Year’s Eve. The New Year’s Eve dinner has become a signal and beacon to call people home, which goes far beyond the meaning of a meal. In some families, you will see such a scene: there is a seat and a pair of chopsticks in front of the dining table, but no one is there. This means that the relatives of this family did not arrive in time for various reasons, or could not go home to reunite with their relatives, but the family could not forget him. Put tables, chairs, bowls and chopsticks, and take the right to be a relative among them. Therefore, many dishes on the New Year’s Eve are also born from this. "Reunion", "family happiness" and "good luck at the head" all contain the wish to pray for family safety and happiness.

  Many people are very particular about the New Year’s Eve dinner, and they have everything to say about whether they eat or not. Even in the era of food shortage, people showed their magical powers and tried their best to get symbolic food for good luck. Of course, every nation has its own customs and habits, and there are great differences between the north and the south. For example, southerners like to eat rice dumplings, rice cakes, glutinous rice balls, and some eat raw garlic and preserved eggs. Among them, the meaning of rice cake is the most obvious: "sticky (sticky) high (cake) every year", which is auspicious and wishful, and is interpreted as the meaning of rising year by year. The traditional food of northerners is mainly pasta, and jiaozi is the most common Chinese New Year food, which is also a traditional habit with a long history. Some say that it appeared as early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, some say that it was officially listed as a must-eat thing for the New Year from the Han Dynasty, and some say it was the Tang Dynasty. In many places, on New Year’s Eve, when the bell rings at twelve o’clock, they begin to eat jiaozi. Therefore, it is the time of the year, which means "making friends at a younger age", and because the white-flour jiaozi is shaped like a silver ingot, and a pot of pots on the table symbolizes "making a fortune in the New Year, and the ingot rolls in", so many people will go to the bank in advance to change some brand-new coins, or sterilize the old coins with boiling water and pack them into jiaozi with stuffing. This has great appeal to children. On New Year’s Eve, no matter how sleepy or tired I am, I just wait to eat jiaozi and eat coins, and I am happy. Then there is fish, which is also indispensable for the New Year’s Eve, and you can’t eat it all. You have to leave a little, which means "more than one year."

  With the improvement of living standards, people’s attitude towards New Year’s Eve has become more and more persistent, more and more loving and, of course, more rational. Those who go out to work, work outside the home, and relatives who are temporarily separated from their families for various reasons, whether they have made a fortune or are down and out of luck, are heading for home near the end of the year, all looking forward to catching up with this extraordinary dinner. However, few people bother about the New Year’s Eve. Because people don’t care what they eat or drink, and they don’t look forward to the delicious food that they can enjoy on the New Year’s Eve as before. The New Year’s Eve dinner has gone far beyond the simple appetite temptation. People are more concerned about and attached to the feelings between their loved ones and the warmth of home brought by the New Year’s Eve dinner. These are the most abundant New Year’s Eve dinners!

How long can Japanese newspapers live?

During my first few years in Japan, my interests were mainly focused on two things: one was to study media law, and the other was to try to run the media. The former is the main business and the latter is a sideline, but this sideline takes up a lot of my time. In those years, I participated in the establishment of Japanese Students Abroad, China Economic Times, and Japanese-Chinese Medicine Exchange. At this time, the Japanese newspaper industry is surging-according to a survey by the Japan Press Association, the circulation of Japanese newspapers in 1997 was as high as 53.77 million copies, so I can count it as a success.

Compared with other countries, Japanese newspaper industry has several remarkable characteristics: first, the number of publications is huge; Second, newspapers are issued directly, and the sales network covers the whole country; Then the major newspapers belong to the "senior mass newspaper", unlike the European and American newspapers, the "senior newspaper" and "mass newspaper" are completely different.

Today, with the decline of paper media, there are still more than 100 newspapers "alive" in Japan, and one third of them are divided into two versions: "Korean issue" and "evening issue". The largest Yomiuri Shimbun is published nearly 10 million times a day. Japanese people are the people who love reading newspapers in the world. Many families subscribe to two newspapers, a national newspaper and a local newspaper. According to a survey in 2008, 90% of Japanese people have the habit of reading newspapers every day.

In the 1990s, domestic weekly newspapers and metropolis newspapers rose, and the China Newspaper Association sent many delegations to visit Japan. I have set up a bridge between China Press Association and Japan Press Association, and have done many projects to promote exchanges between the two sides. At that time, the domestic newspaper industry was in a period of rapid expansion, and many places lacked newspapers, newsprint and even ink. The exchanges between the two sides mainly focused on operation and management. For the Japanese newspaper industry, the domestic media is very yearning.

In Japan, newspapers belong to the private sector and are self-financing for the market. The state neither "owns" newspapers, nor subsidizes them, nor is it in a position to dictate their contents. More than half of the income of the paper media comes from sales, and the readers are the parents of food and clothing, so the distribution and service of Japanese newspapers are also directly oriented to readers. In Japan, 95% newspapers are delivered directly to subscribers’ homes by newspaper couriers, rain or shine. It is a part of many Japanese people’s life to have breakfast and read morning newspapers. Day after day, they gradually develop their attachment to type and paper.

High-quality distribution and service are considered to be one of the main reasons for Japanese newspapers to retain readers. In my opinion, the best service of newspapers comes from truth. Japanese newspapers have a good record of objectivity. This stems from the "freedom of the press" guaranteed by the postwar constitution. In 1947, the Japanese Constitution prohibited any form of news censorship. On this basis, the principle of "objectivity" and "neutrality" of newspapers becomes possible. Unlike European and American media, Japanese newspapers keep a distance from politics while presenting facts. Politicians do not directly intervene in the media, and journalists will not turn to politics. Subscribers rarely subscribe to a newspaper because of their political stance, because the editorials of these newspapers are not very different. In a survey last year, the credibility score of newspapers reached 68.7 points (out of 100 points), which was significantly better than the 51.4 points of online new media.

However, the crisis is also obvious. In the Heisei era, the paper media experienced a process of reaching the peak and then slipping. Last year, Japanese newspapers published 39.9 million copies a day, which greatly exceeded the global level, but it has shrunk by about a quarter compared with the peak of 20 years ago. As mentioned earlier, the revenue of Japanese newspapers mainly depends on selling newspapers, and the shrinking circulation means that the income of publishers decreases. According to statistics, the total sales of Japanese newspapers decreased by about 458 billion yen (about 29.1 billion yuan) in the decade from 2003 to 2013. In the late Heisei generation, it has become normal for print media to attack each other in order to compete for declining subscribers.

There are cracks in the business model on which Japanese newspapers depend, and this crack will become more and more obvious with the aging of the "lump generation". The so-called "mass generation" was born shortly after the war, and has developed the habit of reading newspapers since childhood, and is the most loyal reader of newspapers. These people are now over 70 years old. According to statistics, the "healthy life expectancy" of Japanese men is 71 years old, while that of Japanese women is 74 years old. Later, they will either enter the nursing home or gradually become too tired to read. At that time, the wave of newspaper subscription cancellation will come.

Young people who grew up in the internet age are not attached to newspapers, and they don’t even watch TV. Surfing the internet is their daily life, and more than 90% of Japanese in their twenties and thirties are netizens. According to a survey conducted by the Press and Communication Research Association last year, in Japan, the number of people browsing news through mobile phones or computers has exceeded the readers of early newspapers.

Personally, I have less and less time to read newspapers. This is not just a matter of time, but that newspapers are no longer an irreplaceable source of information. In the past, news that could only be obtained by reading newspapers and watching TV can now be easily obtained online, even without the need for professional news organizations to provide it.

In the early 1990s, when I first arrived in Japan, there was often no news of China in the mainstream Japanese media for several days, as if there was no such country as "China" on the earth. My fellow students and I founded China Overseas Students Daily and China Economic Times to fill this gap. The former is aimed at the minority group of "Japanese students studying abroad" and published in both Chinese and Japanese languages; The latter is for Japanese readers and published in Japanese. Later, the two newspapers both disappeared at the door of the internet age, unable to find a new position, and lack of editing and editing power, which were the main reasons for the suspension of publication.

1995 was called the "first year of the Internet" in Japan. In that year, traditional media began to enter the network, and the media performance became more diversified. In 1997, the circulation of Japanese newspapers reached its peak, and has been shrinking year by year since then. People generally attribute this to the impact of the internet age. In fact, Achilles’ heel is different for different newspapers. For western mainstream media, the loss of advertising is a fatal blow, but the main income of Japanese newspapers does not depend on advertising. What Japanese newspapers lack is, I think, in-depth information and investigative reports that only professional media can provide. This shortcoming has always existed, but it is only in the Internet age that Japanese newspapers have accelerated their depreciation.

Reporters Without Borders released media freedom in 180 countries and regions around the world in April this year, and Japan ranked only 67th, ranking last in the Group of Seven. Why is this happening? As mentioned above, Japan’s Constitution guarantees freedom of the press, which is the same as other countries in the G-7, except that there is a "press club" system in Japan.

"Journalists’ Club" is an exclusive organization established by Japanese government departments and business clubs at all levels for the media. Only club members can obtain the first-hand information and data provided by the government and relevant clubs. There are hundreds of such press clubs all over Japan, and there are special "press rooms" from the Prime Minister’s Office to the Tokyo Stock Exchange. Through the club, journalists and so-called authoritative sources have formed a mutually beneficial "non-confrontational" relationship-journalists can easily get fed without having to chase after them, and sources regulate information release to realize public opinion management.

This system has been criticized by foreign countries, thinking that it has actually caused "self-censorship" of the media. Japanese newspapers are full of news from journalists’ clubs, and there are few in-depth investigative reports and even few critical reports. As mentioned above, Japanese newspapers don’t tell lies, but truth doesn’t mean truth, which is often hidden under fragmented facts and needs to be excavated by journalists. The reason why the media is important to a democratic society is that it builds an information base for people’s political participation. Only when people are fully informed can people’s autonomy become possible. Unfortunately, Japanese newspapers are not so conscious.

Martin Fackler, former director of The New York Times branch in Japan, noticed that the media are very popular with Japanese fresh graduates because of their high salaries and comparable treatment to banks, securities companies and trading houses. This kind of "motivation" makes Japanese journalists more like "wage earners". Unlike American journalists from the grassroots, they lack professional passion and confidence in questioning dignitaries.

At present, Shinzo Abe has become one of the longest-serving prime ministers in Japan, thanks in part to the media. Every major newspaper in Japan has a column of "The Prime Minister’s Movement" to report the whereabouts of the Prime Minister. It is not difficult to find that almost all the heads of major media are Abe’s guests. According to some statistics, since returning to the post of Prime Minister in 2012, the number of times Abe has had dinner with media people has greatly increased. Today’s Japanese media have little criticism of Abe’s government. "I’m not so much worried about the Abe regime that controls the media," Martin Fakler sighed. "I’m more worried about the Japanese media so easily."

In the 2010s, the life of Japanese newspapers became more and more difficult. Of course, they will not sit still. Many newspapers publish online editions and offer them to subscribers at very low prices. In addition, there are various plans and promotions for specific groups, such as launching special topics for women or "student subscription prices" for young people to attract more subscribers and readers. However, the declining sales volume year by year shows that these methods are not effective, at least not enough to reverse the decline. Perhaps it is time for Japanese newspapers to consider a reporting strategy outside the press club.

Near the Dome Gymnasium in Tokyo, there is a dormitory for international students named "Houleliao". The entrance and floor are inlaid with green glazed tiles, which is full of ancient meaning. It used to be the "Manchukuo Students’ Club for Studying in Japan", but it has been transformed into the dormitory for international students of the Japan-China Friendship Club. I remember that my room was Room 104, which was once the editorial department of China Overseas Students.

In the past 30 years, only the Japanese-Chinese Medicine Exchange magazine, the three media I participated in, has survived, and I heard that it has developed well. Perhaps, yesterday’s "public" has collapsed, people no longer read the same newspaper at the same time, and today’s media must satisfy countless "minorities" with varied tastes.

  Concluding remarks

  Foreword

  Energy is the foundation and motive force of human civilization and progress, which is related to the national economy, people’s livelihood and national security, human survival and development, and is of vital importance to promoting economic and social development and enhancing people’s well-being.

  Since the founding of New China, under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, China has gradually built a relatively complete energy industry system through self-reliance and hard work. Since the reform and opening up, China has adapted to the needs of rapid economic and social development, promoted comprehensive, coordinated and sustainable energy development, and become the largest energy producer and consumer in the world and the country with the fastest improvement in energy utilization efficiency.

  Since the 18th CPC National Congress, the development of China has entered a new era, and the energy development of China has also entered a new era. The new energy security strategy of "four revolutions and one cooperation" put forward by the Chairman of the Supreme Leader has pointed out the direction for China’s energy development in the new era and opened up a new road for China’s characteristic energy development. China adheres to the new development concept of innovation, coordination, green, openness and sharing, with the theme of promoting high-quality development and the main line of deepening supply-side structural reform, comprehensively promotes the reform of energy consumption mode, builds a diversified and clean energy supply system, implements the innovation-driven development strategy, continuously deepens the reform of energy system, and continuously promotes international cooperation in the energy field, so that China’s energy has entered a new stage of high-quality development.

  Ecological prosperity leads to civilized prosperity. Facing the increasingly serious global problems such as climate change, environmental risk challenges and energy resource constraints, China has established the concept of a community of human destiny, promoted the overall green transformation of economic and social development, actively participated in global energy governance while striving to promote the clean and low-carbon development of its own energy, and worked with other countries to seek a new way to accelerate the sustainable development of global energy. At the general debate of the 75th United Nations General Assembly, the Chairman of the Supreme Leader announced that China will enhance its national independent contribution, adopt more effective policies and measures, and strive to reach the peak of carbon dioxide emissions by 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality by 2060. China’s energy development in the new era provides strong support for China’s sustained and healthy economic and social development, and also makes positive contributions to safeguarding world energy security, coping with global climate change and promoting world economic growth.

The structure of energy production and consumption has been continuously optimized, the efficiency of energy utilization has been significantly improved, the conditions for energy use in production and life have been significantly improved, and the ability of energy security has been continuously enhanced, which has provided important support for the high-quality development of the service economy, winning the battle against poverty and building a well-off society in an all-round way.

  (A) the ability to ensure energy supply has been continuously enhanced.

  An energy production system driven by coal, oil, gas, electricity, nuclear energy, new energy and renewable energy has basically been formed. According to preliminary calculation, the total primary energy production in China in 2019 reached 3.97 billion tons of standard coal, making it the largest energy producer in the world. Coal is still the basic energy to ensure energy supply, and the annual output of raw coal has remained at 3.41 billion-&mdash since 2012; 3.97 billion tons. Strive to maintain the stability of crude oil production, and the annual output of crude oil has remained at 190 million-&mdash since 2012; 210 million tons. Natural gas production has increased significantly, from 110.6 billion cubic meters in 2012 to 176.2 billion cubic meters in 2019. The power supply capacity has been continuously enhanced, with a cumulative installed power generation capacity of 2.01 billion kilowatts. In 2019, the power generation capacity was 7.5 trillion kWh, up 75% and 50% respectively compared with 2012. The scale of development and utilization of renewable energy has expanded rapidly, and the cumulative installed capacity of hydropower, wind power and photovoltaic power generation ranks first in the world.
