CCTV News:The Central Meteorological Observatory issued an orange warning for typhoon at 10: 00 on August 30th. The center of Typhoon Sura (super typhoon) No.9 this year is located at 9: 00 am today (30th) on the sea surface about 580 kilometers south-east of Huilai, Guangdong Province, which is 20.2 degrees north latitude and 121.0 degrees east longitude. The maximum wind force near the center is above 17 (62m/s), and the minimum pressure at the center is 915 hectopascals.

　　It is estimated that "Sura" will move to the northwest at a speed of 10-15 kilometers per hour, move into the northeastern South China Sea on the night of the 30th or the early morning of the 31st, and gradually approach the coastal areas from eastern Guangdong to southern Fujian. It may land on the above coastal areas during the day on September 1st (strong typhoon level or super typhoon level, 45-52m/s, 14-16), or it may move to the south-west direction in the coastal areas of eastern Guangdong.

　　Gale forecast:From 14: 00 on August 30 to 14: 00 on August 31, there will be strong winds of 6-8 grades and gusts of 9-10 grades in bashi channel, Taiwan Province Strait, the sea south of the east of Taiwan Province, the northeastern South China Sea, the coastal areas of Fujian, the southern coast of Taiwan Province Island and the coastal areas of central and eastern Guangdong. Among them, the winds in bashi channel and the easterly waters of the northeastern South China Sea are 9-11 grades, and the winds in some sea areas can reach 12-13 grades.

　　Precipitation forecast:From 14: 00 on August 30 to 14: 00 on August 31, there were heavy rains in parts of central and eastern Fujian, eastern and southern Taiwan Province Island, and local heavy rains (100-150 mm).

　　Defense guide:

　　1. The government and relevant departments shall, in accordance with their duties, do a good job in typhoon prevention and emergency rescue.

　　2. Water operations and passing ships in relevant waters should return to Hong Kong to take shelter from the wind, strengthen port facilities, and prevent ships from anchoring, grounding and collision.

　　3. Stop large-scale indoor and outdoor gatherings and dangerous outdoor operations such as high altitude.

　　4. Reinforce or dismantle structures that are easy to be blown by the wind. Personnel should not go out at will. They should stay in windproof and safe places as far as possible, so as to ensure that the elderly and children stay in the safest place at home, and the dangerous people will be transferred in time. When the typhoon center passes by, the wind will decrease or stay still for a period of time. Remember that the strong wind will suddenly blow and you should continue to stay in a safe place to avoid the wind.

　　5. Relevant areas should pay attention to prevent flash floods and geological disasters that may be caused by heavy precipitation.

Special feature of 1905 film network Unexpectedly, the animated film became the first dark horse in the film market in May, and the box office fell all the way, even surpassing the box office many times in a single day, winning the Japanese crown.

　

As of press time, the box office of "League of Bad Guys" has surpassed the achievement of playing "sentimental cards", with a total of over 98 million. It is only a matter of time before it breaks through 100 million.

　

Compared with the past, the superhero group has become a routine, and when the charming and lovely "villain" character becomes the protagonist, it is easier to become a "traffic password" against the last real boss drama.

　

League of Bad Guys is not the first work that "eats crabs".As early as 2010, it was also DreamWorks.Animation, once made another animated film featuring bad guys.Megamind.

　

DreamWorks’ more successful animation series, before featuring Minions’s selling Meng, the protagonist is set to be a thief who represents the negative image.

Aside from these animated films, in Hollywood, DC launched the Suicide Squad series, while Marvel Comics successfully developed the Venom series and the drama Loki.

"Bad" is just a label given by the outside world. Tearing off the label and redefining the nature of the role may be the key to this kind of creation resonating with the current social topic.

As for China’s films, can this kind of creation, which is in line with the idea of "beginning of life is good in nature", appear as soon as possible? Or is it already secretly laid out by a team?

　

Redefinition of "bad"

How bad are these villains?

　

First, look at several characters in the animated film League of Bad Guys, such as wolves, poisonous snakes, sharks, spiders and piranhas. From the past cognition, these creatures can put down human existence in a few seconds. Compared with the concept of kind rabbits and lambs, they are the embodiment of evil.

　

In the movie, they commit crimes everywhere, robbing banks and all kinds of jewelry shops crazily. Even the police chief has repeatedly indicated that catching them is his career goal in this life.

　

Finally, in order to accomplish more exciting crimes, they pretend to declare that they want to turn over a new leaf and become model citizens.

　

This setting is not new. The first Despicable Me is a similar situation.

In order to prove that he is the worst thief in history, the super villain Gru announced that he would steal the moon home, but in the contest with his opponent, he had to adopt three orphans first and put on a touching "fathers and daughters".

　

The drama of pretending to be a good man is not new, and the dramatic effect is to make them stand on the opposite side of the last villain.

　

"League of Bad Guys" may make the expression more direct and family-friendly, and through the mouth of Mayor Diane Fox, it says that "garbage can also be a work of art from different angles".

　

Compared with the animated films, the live-action films are more direct.

　

DC changed the movie in a crazier way.The villains, such as Ugly Girl and King Shark, are controlled by one side with deadly weapons, making them incarnate as "death squads" to achieve more difficult tasks. In the design of plays, these villains passively completed this rebellious and whitewashing behavior.

　

In "Venom", the whole setting is relatively mild, and the behavior of doing good is completed in the negotiation between the venom and the host.

Of course, in the original cartoon, venom was one of Spider-Man’s old enemies, which was directly displayed in the old edition. With the expansion and linkage of Marvel Universe, it is still possible that the battle between Venom and Spider-Man will follow.

　

It seems that the creation of villains as protagonists has become a new routine in many Hollywood movies. At the same time, more and more lovely and charming villains have been "whitewashed" by netizens. So, after the "whitewashed", do they have a chance to let China’s film creation see new possibilities?

　

The possibility of both good and evil

It is also good and evil, or we used to use more words to describe this kind of role.In China’s film creation, this role is not uncommon. The more classic characters come fromJin YongnovelEternal slaughterJi Long "Zoroastrianism group in.

　

At the beginning of the story, many creators have strengthened the "evil deeds" of the four protectors of Zoroastrianism, especially the eccentric behavior of Wei Yixiao, the king of green-winged bats, who likes to suck human blood. However, after Zhang Wuji mistakenly broke into the Bright Top of Zoroastrianism, they were originally misunderstood by Jianghu as "cults", and gradually found the correct position in a series of struggles.

　

This process of identity change is particularly obvious in the director’s works, and it also finds a direct explanation for this role, "never suck human blood."

　

The whole story is very much like the movie setting in which the villain plays the leading role. With Zoroastrianism, an organization labeled as a villain by the public, as the core, these characters do have some behavioral logic that is not decent, but in the development of a series of events, the villains finally surfaced.

　

In fact, there are many such creative adaptations in Hong Kong films.In the past, everyone was familiar with itthe legend of the condor heroesOuyang Feng, Xi Du, is a negative image who does whatever it takes for the supreme martial arts.

But in the world, the rivers and lakes are just rivers and lakes, there is no absolute evil and justice, he is just the ferryman in the rivers and lakes, there is no narrow sense, only the children in the rivers and lakes are immersed in love.

　

With the beautiful love, let the audience stay in the audience’s mind, and "can’t be reconciled" to Dong Fangbubai who is willing to give everything for love.

　

In addition, love is also used as a makeup point, and the glamorous ghost Xiaoqian, who was originally a villain, was repackaged. Who doesn’t cry for the love between Xiaoqian and Ning Caichen at last?

　

Not only that, but a series of movies, etc., all ended up with a drama framework similar to Ghost Story.

　

Compared with them, The Journey to the West’s version has reset the monsters in the movie.

　

Especially in the movie, Mrs. Bones, who plays the role, has completely become the demon who conforms to public opinion.

　

She was a poor woman in a previous life, and she died tragically because of misunderstanding or deliberate planting by villagers. Coincidentally, she became a demon, but she still couldn’t escape the same fate. She was also misunderstood and planted. Because she was already a "demon (bad guy)", any dirty water could be spilled on her, so she was charged with eating children.

　

But as the story unfolds, the audience knows that the person who really eats children is the king who ordered the demon to be caught.

　

The export of the realistic "rebel alliance"

It can be seen that since the last century, China’s films have had the possibility of diversity in the design of villains. It’s just that it’s relatively euphemistic and romantic compared to a series of Hollywood movies with villains as the main characters.

　

Then, is it possible to create a work with this as the protagonist in the future?The probability is high, but creative breakthroughs are still needed.

　

A series of film works adapted from Jin Yong’s novels, such as ashes of time, Swordsman 2: Dong Fangbubai, were criticized by book fans and even Mr. Jin Yong when they first came out. But with the passage of time, these works are all classics.

　

The second deconstruction of this kind of classic martial arts novels is one of the breakthroughs in the future.

Only in the face of these novels, many of them still need the adaptation and approval of the copyright party. But for many novels that are already public IP, it is a good choice.

　

The monster in The Journey to the West is a very representative figure, what’s more, before learning from the scriptures, the Monkey King’s own image was full of cult temperament.

In many film and television works, the bridge between the Monkey King and Niu Mowang, the Great Ghost King and other "Seven Saints" has been sketched or ignored, leaving only the plot that the Monkey King named "Monkey King" to annoy the Jade Emperor.

　

Can the story of "Seven Saints Becoming Righteous" be re-created? Or it can be an interesting prequel. In addition, all kinds of monsters in Liaozhai and Shanhaijing are excellent descriptions of villains in the concept.

　

For these well-known IP’s adaptation, how to make the audience recognize it and not fall into the predicament of magic change, this is naturally what the creative team has to face. Although the Zheng Baorui version of The Journey to the West has further created these monsters, the final effect seems to be difficult for the audience to pay the bill.

　

Of course, in the background of realistic themes, there are many examples of the original expression of "dog bites dog" and "thief catches thief". It is the game between two groups of bad guys that makes the final justice known.

　

This form also broadens the creation of genre films, embellished with black humor, which can not only create suspense atmosphere, but also increase the fun of solving puzzles and better control the narrative itself.

　

Whether it is fantasy costumes or realistic themes, it can be seen from past works that the creation of such films is not an "armchair strategist", but how to accurately grasp the main points of creation, not simply repeating such settings, which may be the main points that creators should understand before writing.

　　Xinhua News Agency, Tokyo, September 14th (Reporter Yang Guang) Shirahama Adventure World Amusement Park in Wakayama Prefecture, Japan held a 31st birthday party for the giant panda Yongming online and offline on the 14th. More than a thousand Japanese people attended the event, and nearly 10,000 viewers watched the live broadcast through the Internet.

　　"Yongming" was born on September 14th, 1992, and went to live in Adventure World Amusement Park in Wakayama Prefecture, Japan on September 6th, 1994. On February 22nd this year, Yongming returned to chengdu research base of giant panda with his twin daughters Sakura Bang and Taobang. On December 17th, 2022, Xue Jian, Consul General of China in Osaka, awarded the title of "Yongming" and "Special Envoy for China-Friendship".

　　In order to meet the urgent need of Japanese giant panda fans to know about the current situation of Yongming, the Consulate General of China in Osaka, Adventure World Amusement Park in Wakayama Prefecture, Sichuan Provincial Cultural Tourism Office, chengdu research base of giant panda and China Tourism Offices in Osaka jointly hosted this birthday party.

　　At the birthday party, the audience reviewed the life of the Yongming family in Japan through a documentary. Liu Long, deputy secretary of chengdu research base of giant panda, had a live conversation with Jianzi Nakao, deputy director of Adventure World Amusement Park in Wakayama County, and played the life videos of Yongming, Sakura and Taobang after they returned to China. The interesting pictures excited the audience, and some of them shed tears with excitement.

　　Fang Wei, Deputy Consul General of the Japanese Consulate General in Osaka, said in his speech that the "Yongming" family of three has been taken care of in chengdu research base of giant panda and will continue to play an active role as a friendly messenger between China and China in the future. Welcome Japanese fans to visit Chengdu, visit their old friend Yongming’s family, continue to sublimate "panda love" into "human love", and jointly promote the communication between Chinese and Japanese people.

　　Shimonoseki, deputy governor of Wakayama Prefecture, said that "Yongming" gave birth to 16 children in the 28 years after coming to Wakayama Prefecture, bringing joy to Japan and the world. In 2022, Wakayama County and Sichuan Province became sister counties and provinces, which was inseparable from the contribution of Yongming. I believe that this "Yongming" birthday party will once again open a new chapter in Japan-China friendly exchanges.

　　CCTV News:The press conference of the 2021 National Cyber Security Publicity Week was held in Beijing on September 30. According to the person in charge, the 2021 National Cyber Security Publicity Week will be held nationwide from October 11th to 17th.

Through technologies such as Web3D, digital reproduction, VR, 360 panorama and H5 multimedia, multi-dimensional online exhibition was realized.

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.

　　Musk said thatHe predicted that Tesla car sales will increase by 20% ~ 30% next year; Cybercab will be mass-produced in 2026, with the goal of producing at least 2 million units per year.

　　Musk said thatWhen Tesla’s cheap electric car model comes out, the unit price will be less than 30 thousand dollars; Tesla will not produce cheap cars that lack a driverless version; The conventional $25,000 electric car will be "meaningless".

　　Tesla CFO Vaibhav Taneja said that the cost per unit vehicle hit a record low in the third quarter, which will be a trend we pay attention to, and promised that the company will continue to focus on cost reduction; Due to the release of FSD function, the profit rate of automobile business has improved.

　　According to Xinhua Financial News, in the early morning of October 24th, Beijing time, the Federal Reserve released the latest national economic situation survey report (commonly known as the "Beige Book", the same below). The Beige Book shows that, on the whole, since the beginning of September, the economic activities of almost all the American regions surveyed have not changed much. However, two regions experienced moderate economic growth. Although the uncertainty is still high, the respondents are slightly optimistic about the long-term prospects, and inflationary pressures continue to ease.

　　Looking at the inflation situation specifically, the Beige Book shows that the sales prices in most areas have increased slightly or moderately, but the prices of some foods such as eggs and dairy products have increased greatly. In many areas, house prices rose slightly, but rents were flat or slightly decreased. Many areas are concerned about the increase in consumer sensitivity to prices.

　　On October 10th, the latest inflation data of the United States showed that the CPI (Consumer Price Index) of the United States rose by 2.4% year-on-year and 0.2% quarter-on-quarter. Excluding volatile food and energy prices, the core CPI of the United States increased by 3.3% year-on-year and 0.3% quarter-on-quarter in September. Overall, the inflation value dropped to a three-year low, but the "cooling" rate of inflation was slightly lower than expected.

　　The localization rate of overseas institutions of central enterprises exceeds 85%

　　According to Xia Qingfeng, director of the Propaganda Bureau of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, there are currently 3,120 projects undertaken by central enterprises along the Belt and Road, which are distributed in various fields such as infrastructure construction, energy resources development, international capacity cooperation and industrial park construction. At present, among the infrastructure projects that have started or are planned to start, the number of projects undertaken by central enterprises accounts for more than 60%, and the contract amount accounts for nearly 80%.

　　In terms of infrastructure construction, central enterprises have promoted the interconnection of countries along the route, and in terms of international capacity cooperation, central enterprises have also promoted the economic development of relevant countries. Xia Qingfeng introduced that central enterprises have successively carried out more than 60 oil and gas cooperation projects in more than 20 countries, strengthened technical exchanges and sharing with partners in mineral resources development, and effectively improved the capacity and level of energy and mineral resources development in relevant countries.

　　In addition, central enterprises have also helped the economic transformation and upgrading of the host country. For example, Xia Qingfeng said that the Sino-Belarus Industrial Park jointly developed by SINOMACH and China Merchants Group is the largest project of economic and trade cooperation between China and Belarus. At present, 43 enterprises have entered the park, with an agreed investment of nearly 1.1 billion US dollars, which has promoted local employment and tax revenue, and deepened the professional cooperation between Belarus and other countries, including China; The sugar factory project undertaken by SINOMACH and SDIC in Ethiopia has made Ethiopia the country with the largest sugar production capacity and the most advanced technology in Africa.

　　At the same time, central enterprises still insist on localized development in the local area. Nearly 85% of the employees in the overseas institutions of central enterprises are local, and the localization rate of some enterprises, such as the Indonesian branch of PetroChina and the Pakistani branch of China Mobile, is as high as 99%.

　　In addition to providing direct jobs, central enterprises have also promoted local indirect employment and provided high-quality training for overseas employees, such as selecting outstanding employees from CCCC for training in China, which has improved their professional quality and ability.

　　274 private enterprises participate in the construction of the "Belt and Road"

　　Since the "Belt and Road Initiative" was put forward in 2013, the willingness and ability of private enterprises to participate in the "Belt and Road" construction have been continuously enhanced, and the degree of internationalization and competitiveness have also been continuously improved.

　　Ma Jun, director of the Liaison Department of the All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce, said that in 2017, the total import and export trade between private enterprises and countries along the Belt and Road was US$ 619.98 billion, accounting for 43% of the total trade volume between China and countries along the Belt and Road, with a growth rate of 12.1%. Among them, the export value was 432.54 billion US dollars, accounting for 55.9%, with an increase rate of 8.9%; The import value was US$ 187.44 billion, accounting for 28.1%, and the growth rate was 11.9%. According to the report of the Top 500 Private Enterprises in China, 274 private enterprises in China participated in the Belt and Road construction in 2017, accounting for more than 50%, such as Huawei, Geely, TCL and Sany Heavy Industry, which promoted the infrastructure improvement and economic development of the host country and made positive contributions to solving local employment.

　　"At present, China has established 113 overseas economic and trade cooperation zones, with private enterprises leading the majority." For example, Ma Jun said that the Sihanoukville Special Economic Zone built in Cambodia by Jiangsu Hodo Group Co.,Ltd. attracted 153 enterprises from China, Europe, America, Japan, South Korea and other countries and regions to settle in and created 29,000 jobs. Up to now, 113 enterprises have settled in the Thai-Chinese Luo Yong Industrial Park built by Zhejiang Huali Group in Thailand, which has solved more than 30,000 local jobs and driven China enterprises to invest more than 3 billion US dollars in Thailand.

　　This year, in order to further improve the guidance service for private enterprises to participate in the "Belt and Road" construction, the All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce will regularly participate in bilateral and multilateral institutional activities under the framework of national cooperation, including in-depth participation in the 2019 China International Import Expo, full implementation of the four tasks of the Beijing Summit of the China-Africa Cooperation Forum in 2018, and holding activities such as the China-Africa Private Economic Cooperation Forum with the theme of "Helping China-Africa Manufacturing Cooperation".

　　scale

　　900 delegates attended the meeting.

　　Chen Zhou, vice president of the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade, said that this entrepreneur conference has three characteristics: large scale, high level and strong representation of participating enterprises. A total of nearly 900 representatives from international organizations, government departments, trade and investment promotion institutions, associations and enterprises attended the meeting, including 500 Chinese representatives and more than 300 foreign representatives.

　　Among the participating enterprises, Chinese enterprises include mainland and some Hong Kong and Macao enterprises, while foreign enterprises cover all 88 countries and regions attending the summit forum, achieving full coverage of foreign leaders attending the forum.

　　According to a recent report by DPA, the plenary session of the European Parliament passed the draft authorization of the Artificial Intelligence Act with an overwhelming majority of 499 votes in favor, 28 votes against and 93 abstentions. This means that the bill enters the final negotiation stage of EU legislation to strictly supervise the application of artificial intelligence technology, and the European Parliament, the European Commission and member States will conduct "tripartite" negotiations to determine the final terms of the bill. The German "Business Daily" said that the "Artificial Intelligence Act" is expected to be finally approved by the end of this year, but it may take several years before it fully takes effect.

　　Be prepared for negotiations

　　According to the report, the European Parliament decided to add more security control measures to generative artificial intelligence tools such as ChatGPT to ensure that the research and development and application of artificial intelligence comply with relevant EU laws and regulations.

　　As the world’s first comprehensive legislation aimed at artificial intelligence through parliamentary procedures, the draft has formulated detailed rules in terms of security, privacy, transparency and non-discrimination. According to the website of the European Parliament, the European Parliament "is ready for negotiations to formulate the first artificial intelligence bill in history". According to the legislative agenda, the European Parliament will hold "tripartite" negotiations with the European Commission and member States on this draft authorization, and European legislators hope to reach a consensus on the final version of the bill before the end of this year.

　　In May this year, the Market Committee and the Civil Liberties Committee of the European Parliament passed the draft negotiating authorization for the proposal of the Artificial Intelligence Act put forward by the European Commission in April 2021. Previously, the European Parliament and the Council of the European Union had made several rounds of revisions and discussions on the draft, and after the emergence of generative artificial intelligence applications such as ChatGPT, EU legislators urgently discussed the issues not covered in the original draft. The European Parliament stated that this proposal, if formally approved, will become the first regulation on artificial intelligence in the world.

　　The draft will apply to entities that put artificial intelligence systems on the market or put them into use in the EU (whether in the EU or in a third country), entities that use artificial intelligence systems in the EU and entities that use artificial intelligence systems in a third country, but the output of the systems is used in the EU or has an impact on people in the EU.

　　Risk classification supervision

　　A prominent feature of the draft authorization of the Artificial Intelligence Act is that it pays attention to formulating a supervision system based on risks, so as to balance the innovative development of artificial intelligence and safety norms. The draft divides the risk of artificial intelligence into four levels: unacceptable risk, high risk, limited risk and minimal risk, corresponding to different regulatory requirements. Among them, the use of high-risk artificial intelligence must be strictly regulated, and system providers and users must abide by the provisions of data management, record keeping, transparency and artificial supervision to ensure the stability, accuracy and safety of the system. For those who violate the regulations, the draft sets a fine of up to 30 million euros (1 euro is about 7.895 yuan) or 6% of the global annual turnover.

　　The draft strictly prohibits artificial intelligence systems that pose unacceptable risks to human security, including systems that deploy subconscious or purposeful manipulation techniques, exploit people’s weaknesses or use them for social scoring, and expands the classification of high-risk areas of artificial intelligence to take into account the harm to people’s health, safety, basic rights or the environment. The draft also requires artificial intelligence companies to maintain artificial control over their algorithms, provide technical documents, establish a risk management system for "high-risk" applications, and set up a special supervision system for generative artificial intelligence such as ChatGPT. Each EU member state will set up a supervisory body.

　　In addition, the regulatory sandbox (which means that enterprises are allowed to test innovative products, services and business models with real individual users and enterprise users in a real market environment by setting restrictive conditions and formulating risk management measures) mechanism is introduced to control risks and promote innovation, and the artificial intelligence system is developed, tested and verified to reduce risks before it enters the market or is put into use. The draft also proposes that this mechanism is also allowed to test innovative artificial intelligence under realistic conditions to encourage artificial intelligence enterprises to continue to innovate.

　　Face important challenges

　　The EU’s attempt to establish a unified legal supervision framework for artificial intelligence is an important symbolic example in the development of global artificial intelligence. The discussion and attempt of effective regulation on artificial intelligence in the EU will have a global impact, which may lead to more and more countries trying to follow up the exploration of relevant regulations.

　　Regarding the decision of the European Parliament, the German Social Democratic Party expressed its support: "The potential and risks of artificial intelligence should be concerned by the whole society." However, some opponents worry that excessive supervision may bring higher costs and excessive burdens to European artificial intelligence companies.

　　Companies that are in a leading position in the development of artificial intelligence are, to some extent, technology companies that have faced the risk of antitrust violations, violated existing laws and caused information leakage in the past decade. Based on this, Sam altman, CEO of OpenAI, said that he would lead his team to withdraw from the European market if the AI Act over-regulated AI.

　　Experts say that the EU’s promotion of artificial intelligence legislation is conducive to maintaining the EU’s leading position in the fields of digital sovereignty and science and technology, and through such a comprehensive legislation, it will seize the opportunity of global artificial intelligence supervision. But it has its own limitations. It adopts horizontal legislation, not aiming at specific artificial intelligence application fields, but trying to bring all artificial intelligence into the scope of supervision, and will face a lot of interpretation problems at the implementation level.

　　Some voices further pointed out that the EU has not reached a consensus on what impact artificial intelligence technology may bring to mankind. From a dialectical point of view, artificial intelligence can not only benefit and serve human beings, but also bring threats or injuries to human beings if it is not used properly. How to balance innovation and constraints is a very important challenge facing the EU legislature. In addition, the unified legal framework does not involve specific legal norms, and the actual implementation effect may be "greatly reduced".

　　The international community believes that at present, the development of artificial intelligence technology is still in the exploration period. At this time, the EU enacted the "Artificial Intelligence Act", which released a strong signal that the EU is strengthening its regulations in the digital field. How to better balance and link technological innovation and institutional innovation needs to be constantly revised in practice.

Office building of Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development

(Former Construction Engineering Department)

Location: No.9 Sanlihe Road, Haidian District, Beijing

Completion time: 1954

Designer: Gong Deshun

Coverage: It covers an area of 10 hectares, with a building area of 37,740 square meters, and has a 7-story brick-concrete structure.

Honor: It was included in the 20th century architectural heritage project in China.

Architecture is the carrier of solidified music and culture, the embodiment and inheritance of urban context, and the nostalgia and memory of generations.

Architecture is a silent history and the most objective witness of the years.

Architecture is an important carrier of scientific and technological development achievements and the crystallization of design innovation, material innovation and construction technology.

These characteristics are all presented in the office building of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development (referred to as "the office building of the Ministry of Construction").

The office building of the Ministry of Construction was built in 1954, and it has been put into use since 1955. It is an important landmark building in Sanlihe area, which has had a wide influence in China’s construction industry and is an objective witness to the development of the Republic’s construction industry.

The office building of the Ministry of Construction is large in scale, simple and majestic, with coordinated overall layout, proper simplicity, economical and reasonable internal layout, simple and generous external decoration. After decades of use test, it is still enduring and attractive, and has been well received by the architectural community. It is one of the best buildings in Beijing after the founding of the People’s Republic of China and a successful design masterpiece in modern architectural history.

gain distinction

On March 31st, 1981, People’s Daily published a news in the 8th edition. Since the founding of the People’s Republic of China in 1949, 37 buildings in China have been listed in the History of World Architecture published in Britain, including the office building of the Ministry of Construction.

In 1993, the office building of the Ministry of Construction won the "Excellent Architectural Creation Award of China Architectural Society (1953-1988)". In 2017, it was selected as "the first batch of China 20th century architectural heritage projects" (jointly organized by China Cultural Relics Association and China Architectural Society).

Famous architect Gong Deshun

The office building of the Ministry of Construction was designed by Gong Deshun, a master architect (once the director of the Design Bureau of the Ministry of Construction, and a senior architect (professor level) of the Architectural Design Institute of the former Ministry of Construction of China Construction Science and Technology Group, and was awarded the title of "Master of Architectural Design" by the Ministry of Construction in 1989). It was one of the first buildings built after the establishment of New China, and the office areas of various ministries in the State Council were located in the western suburbs (Yuetan area). At that time, the western suburbs were still large areas of farmland and there were no high-rise buildings. After the completion of the main building, it was very conspicuous in the empty western suburbs at that time. After the completion of the North-South Annex Building, a complete building complex was formed, and the main building was even more magnificent.

Comrade Liu Shaoqi inspected the office building of the Ministry of Construction.

In late spring and early summer of 1955, Comrade Liu Shaoqi inspected the office building of the Ministry of Construction. Designer Gong Deshun and his comrades answered some questions raised by Comrade Liu Shaoqi. For example, the office building has one floor underground and seven floors above ground. The designed floor height is 4.5 meters, the top floor height is 4.0 meters, the other floors are all 3.6 meters, and the five-story auditoriums at both ends are 7.2 meters high. The brick-concrete structure was adopted in the project. At that time, the seismic grade of the area south of Erligou was 6~7. Comrade Liu Shaoqi also inquired about the cost of the office building of the Ministry of Construction, which is 140 yuan/m2. Finally, Comrade Liu Shaoqi also asked Gong Deshun: "What do you personally think are the shortcomings of this design?" Gong Deshun replied: "The nearby people have given this building a nickname, called’ Nine Dragon Wall’, because it is really thin from the north-south direction of the building now, like a shadow wall, and it will not feel thin when the north-south annex building is built in the future. As for the shortcomings, mainly in the design of the five-story auditorium at the north and south ends of the building, for the treatment of the main facade and cornice, the height of two floors is occupied, about 7.2 meters, and the area of one floor is missing; It is a pity that a lot of money was spent on making fake beams during the decoration. These two auditoriums should be converted into two-story offices, so that the two ends of the building will be six floors. The seven-story office in the middle of the building should be properly raised and converted into an auditorium, which is ideal, not only increasing the construction area, but also reducing the cost per unit area of the building. "

Construction background

The design and construction period of the office building of the Ministry of Construction coincided with the first "Five-Year Plan" period (1953-1957), and the national economy entered a planned and rapid development period.

At that time, the architectural design unit learned the design experience focusing on industrial architectural design, and initiated by some influential experts, set off a creative activity of exploring "national forms" characterized by large roofs. In 1954, all kinds of waste in economic construction became increasingly obvious, and the government felt that it was urgent to oppose waste. Subsequently, a large-scale anti-waste action was launched in the construction industry. As an anti-waste measure, the state has proposed to control the construction investment index and reduce the cost of office buildings: 100~160 yuan/square meter for public buildings; The residential building is 30~40 yuan/m2. In this context, the office building of the Ministry of Construction did not adopt the big roof architecture form that was generally designed at that time, but was designed with a flat roof, and the cornice parapet did not use glazed tiles, but was made of water brush stone, which was more economical and applicable, and created the feasibility for adding stories and buildings later.

Basic technical indicators

The office building of the Ministry of Construction covers an area of 10 hectares, facing Sanlihe Street, with a building area of 37,740 square meters and a 7-story brick-concrete structure. Under the technical conditions at that time, building such a high building with brick-concrete structure reflects the innovation consciousness and construction level, and it is also challenging. In the plane and vertical traffic treatment, the route is reasonably shortened and the traffic area is compressed, and proper measures are also adopted for fire prevention and earthquake resistance. This building passed the test of Tangshan earthquake in 1976, and there was no safety problem, and it is still as strong as ever today.

The beam and slab of the load-bearing structure of the office building of the Ministry of Construction is designed according to 3.0m× 6.0m, but the elevation is treated according to 6.0m× 6.0m, in order to avoid the vertical lines of the elevation being too dense and the appearance being more light.

The original main building is 30 meters high and 90 meters wide. Later, the main building and the five-story annex building of the north and south wings built later were integrated into a whole, with a total width of 220 meters, which was basically a national form of axially symmetric buildings.

Planning and design characteristics

The office building of the Ministry of Construction retreats from the red line, forming a Little Square, which is even more magnificent when viewed from a distance. The architectural design fully embodies the "Chinese but new" style advocated by Mr. Liang Sicheng at that time, that is, a modern building with China characteristics. The architectural appearance is mainly flat roof modeling, and the overall modeling is simple and lively, which is both magnificent and economical. Between the south and north annex buildings and the main building, the scale is appropriate and the connection is smooth, and the overall effect of the building is more magnificent.

At that time, the design requirements had a certain height and boldness of vision. Considering the characteristics of the new China architecture, the designer absorbed the characteristic modeling elements of the traditional national architecture in China from the ancient stone que, such as adopting the eaves treatment method which was common in the Yuan Dynasty in China, and the facade was treated as a double cornice. The diameter of reinforced concrete overhangs, tiles and dripping water is 18 cm. No matter from which angle, the proportions of all aspects are very appropriate.

Agility and vitality

The office building of the Ministry of Construction has successfully used the traditional symmetrical layout of the central axis, with the solemn and magnificent 7-story main building as the central main building and the five-story buildings in the north and south as the wings, thus shaping a national office building with the traditional enclosed space form of China. In the design of architectural style, China’s traditional architectural forms and decorative arts are skillfully used to innovate.

The design of the entrance hall of the office building of the Ministry of Construction is also very clever. The entrance treatment is to highlight a porch in front of the building, and the entrance hall is located in the building. This design requires the height of the entrance hall to be increased, which will make it look spacious.

The passage connection not only has the transition space of the front hall, but also reflects the heaviness, solemnity and atmosphere through the beams and columns. The decoration of glazed tiles not only reflects the inheritance of traditional architecture in China, but also shows agility and vitality through carved stone. The passage and the doorway below expand the overall width and add a solemn atmosphere.

The window cover on the bottom floor is semicircular arch, showing a powerful and strong visual effect. The sill wall under the window of the standard floor is embedded with simple decorative patterns to enrich the aesthetic effect of the facade.

Beauty of symmetry

Generally speaking, the functional requirements of office buildings are relatively simple, and there are fewer restrictions on function and content when determining the body shape. Therefore, when determining the body shape, we should first consider whether the building height is in harmony with the surrounding environment and its influence on the city appearance. Building a single main building on an empty site, symmetrical style can better meet the requirements of public aesthetics, especially the shape of the building itself should pay attention to the effects from all angles to avoid "a thin sheet" shape. For example, before the building of the Ministry of Construction was connected to the north and south wings, the masses called it the "Nine Dragon Wall" and the "Great Wall of the People". After the construction of the north-south annex building, the situation has completely changed. It can be seen that symmetry is very important for a large office building.

According to Han Aixing, former deputy director of the Standard and Quota Department of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, the main building and annex building were built and rebuilt several times separately. For the first time, only six floors of the main building were built, and then four floors of the north-south annex building were built. Later, it was found that the main building was not high enough, and the seventh floor of the main building was added. After the addition of the main building, it was found that the annex building was not high enough, and finally the fifth floor of the north-south annex building was added. Finally, the current architectural complex pattern of the main building and the annex building was formed.

See the foundation for details.

In architectural design, the architect fully considered the traditional elements of China architecture, combined with local residential styles, stone buildings, decorative patterns, etc., and finally presented both the historical and cultural heritage of China architecture and the diversity, reflecting the characteristics of national architecture. For example, creatively drawing lessons from the overhanging practice of ancient stone chambers more than 1,000 years ago, the double eaves are decorated with glazed hooks and dripping water, and the traditional patterns such as moving beam heads, sparrows and colored paintings are skillfully used to express architectural details, especially the overhanging eaves, tiles, porches, stone pillars and stone steps. The cornice is picked out by reinforced concrete rafters with reference to the cornice-overhanging technology of traditional buildings in China. Due to repeated full-scale model tests in design, the cornice proportion and size are very appropriate. The exterior wall is made of water brush stone, which is durable.

Another detail of the office building of the Ministry of Construction is very reasonable, that is, the main staircase in the office building is set in an obvious position facing the gate. Because the general working hours are concentrated, there are many contacts between the upper and lower floors during office hours, and spacious stairs are particularly suitable. At the same time, in addition to the main staircase, another set of stairs is set on the north and south sides respectively, which is beneficial to solve the problem of crowded people going upstairs and downstairs during peak hours.

Exquisite and elegant demeanor

The architectural details are decorated with simplified China traditional architectural components and patterns, which reflects the traditional architectural style of China. The decorative patterns distributed in various positions of the building are ingenious and exquisite everywhere, which makes the whole building add delicate artistic beauty to its majesty.

remain unshakable and become even firmer as time goes by

According to Gong Deshun’s recollection, the detailed treatment of this building was inspired by the traditional stone buildings in China. The cornice overhang and the size and spacing of the rafters were made of plywood, which were put in place and checked repeatedly at the construction site before they were finally determined.

Gong Deshun raised the parapet on the roof of the five-story conference room on both sides and connected the eaves on the sixth floor to a horizontal plane. The eaves on the sixth and seventh floors and the main entrance and exit porches were designed as small slopes with rafters under the eaves picked out one by one. The architectural details were handled perfectly and played a good aesthetic effect on the facade. The whole building is simple and proper, solemn and generous, simple and magnificent. After decades of tests, it is still a classic building with unique style and is deeply loved by the broad masses of the people.

Mr. Xu Ronglie, the former chief engineer of the Ministry of Construction, once recalled: "The majestic, solemn, elegant, generous and China-rich architectural charm emanating from the artistic style of the office building of the Ministry of Construction has greatly attracted many experts, scholars and people in the industry at home and abroad, especially us young people. After more than half a century of ups and downs, this building is still one of the proud leaders among many high-rise buildings in Beijing. "

Green energy saving

Compared with the classic appearance, the interior space of the building is also remarkable. Whether it is corridor or indoor office space, it shows spacious and bright atmosphere. In order to save energy, the designed wall is thick and the ratio of window to wall is moderate, which can not only meet the lighting requirements, but also achieve the thermal insulation effect, and has the comfort of warm in winter and cool in summer.

At that time, the original appearance of the wooden window was designed, and the two-story window had good thermal insulation effect. According to the memories of the leaders who used to work here, the original windows also have external shading, roller blinds and shading pages made of pine.

After 2000, a maintenance and decoration was carried out, the building was strengthened and the windows were replaced.

Architectural model

The Beijing Declaration issued at the 20th International Association of Construction (Beijing) Conference held in 1999 pointed out that the development direction of world architecture in the 21st century will be "the localization of modern architecture and the modernization of regional architecture", and the idea of creating "Chinese but new" local modern architecture has risen again, that is, China’s modern architecture is localized, not imported. From this point of view, looking at the office building of the Ministry of Construction today, although it has experienced nearly 70 years of wind and rain, it still stands tall, full of traditional architectural cultural elements, and embodies the modern, cutting-edge and fashion trends, and is still an important representative building to carry forward China’s traditional architectural culture.

Feng Jicai, a famous writer, once said, "Historical buildings retain a historical space. Because this space still exists, history becomes beyond doubt. In the meantime, history seems to be suddenly enlarged by flesh and blood. The past life forms seem to be called back at any time. Those empty narratives in the history books are all magically and richly resurrected here, and even the spirit of the past can be truly touched. "

Every autumn, the two ginkgo trees in front of the office building will bring gorgeous colors, attracting office workers and residents in nearby communities to enjoy the scenery and take pictures, which reflects the vitality and vitality of the solemn and elegant office building.

The rain and the hurricane are one child, making contributions to the Sanli River.

The office building of the Ministry of Construction is the representative and epitome of Beijing’s modern administrative office building. After nearly 70 years of wind and rain, it is still majestic, solemn, elegant, generous and simple, with the charm of China traditional architecture, and is hailed as a milestone of China’s architectural modernization.

Compared with ancient buildings with a heavy history, the office building of the Ministry of Construction is closer to our work and life, which embodies the life memories of several generations of builders. The people who have worked in this building from generation to generation, although they have experienced rapid modernization changes, feel extremely cordial and familiar whenever they see it. At the same time, it is an indispensable part of a city’s historical memory, reflecting the history and inheritance of Beijing’s capital.
