uncharted waters online

Medieval Arabs used mercury to treat skin diseases such as leprosy and yaws. In 1496, Italian doctors began to treat syphilis with mercury. Until the application of penicillin, mercury was the general plan to deal with syphilis.

In 1498, Columbus sailed to America for the third time. At sea, he had a high fever, fatigue, insomnia and general pain. He prayed to God not to let his eyes bleed again.

Then, Columbus said that he heard the voice of God, and he was confident that he had been chosen by God to spread his faith to the new world.

Hundreds of years later, some scholars thought that Columbus had syphilis according to various symptoms. At the beginning of 16th century, syphilis quickly spread all over the world, and became the secret of countless people. So far, it is still a vicious infectious disease that affects tens of millions of people.

But the origin of syphilis is still a mystery.

Columbus was the first unlucky guy?

On March 15th, 1493, Columbus’ fleet returned to Spain. In 1495, Naples suffered the first syphilis outbreak in world history. Is this a coincidence?

For 500 years, many epidemiologists believed that the pathogen of syphilis was brought back by Columbus from Hispaniola (today’s Haiti and Dominica).

Looking through the records of that year, in 1494, Columbus and his crew had a collective fever, which they called "the scourge."

On August 31, 1498, Columbus returned to the island of Hispaniola and found that a quarter of the Spaniards who stayed there had "Gaul disease", that is, syphilis.

On the return trip, Columbus was locked in the brig on the ship. He had a fever, aching all over, swollen joints and nervous system. According to Columbus’s medical records, he began to be incoherent, on the verge of madness, and acted insane.

In 1502, Columbus sailed to the New World for the fourth and last time. Because "arthritis and gout" were too serious, he had to entrust his duties to his companions.

On this voyage, he repeatedly claimed that he had entered the gate of hell. In October of that year, off the coast of Costa Rica, he had hallucinations, thought he was sent by God, and heard a sad voice, reminding him that this was a voyage to abide by the Bible and to believe in Almighty God. Columbus decided that he was chosen by God, and he wanted to bring the light of faith to the distant savage world.

Returning to Spain in 1504, Columbus was very ill and was carried off the ship. His violent cough resounded through the dock, and his feet and stomach swelled up.

On May 20th, 1506, Columbus died. Before he died, he was poor and fell into a semi-crazy state. His last words were: "God! I put my soul into your hands. "

Medical scientists once thought that Columbus had typhus and rheumatic heart disease and so on. It was not until the 20th century that it was suggested that Columbus might die of syphilis. A doctor believes that edema all over the body below the chest, such as heart valve damage, quadriplegia and insanity, are typical symptoms of syphilis at the end.

Columbus fell ill with fever and insanity when he lived in Hispaniola. A few years later, he had a fever again, his eyes were inflamed, and he was accompanied by rheumatism and gout-like conditions, which was considered as a symptom of syphilis in the second stage.

If Columbus really had syphilis, he would undoubtedly rank first in the celebrity list of syphilis.

In 1494, ambitious Charles VIII, with a huge French army, made an expedition to Naples, the most prosperous city in Europe at that time. Naples soon surrendered, and French soldiers and Italian citizens hung out all day and had fun.

Unexpectedly, French soldiers are suffering from strange diseases one after another: the whole body is covered with pustules, which quickly fester and are very disgusting. It wasn’t long before the patient died. Charles VIII probably suffered from the same disease and died at the age of 28.

The French army thought it was infected by Neapolitans and called it "Neapolitan disease". The Neapolitans thought it was brought by the French and called it "Gaul disease".

The plague forced the French army to retreat in 1495. Mercenaries from various countries were dissolved on the spot and returned to Britain, Germany, the Netherlands and Switzerland, and soon "Gaul disease" appeared in various places. In 1496, in a woodcut by the great artist Al Brecht Diu Lei (who was also suspected of having syphilis), many pustules were clearly visible on the arm of a mercenary. It is said that this is an illustration for a medical paper on syphilis.

The Portuguese fleet brought syphilis to India and Southeast Asia. Before 1521 (the year Magellan came to the Philippines), syphilis had been introduced to China and Japan.

Europeans are helpless about syphilis.

Syphilis is caused by Treponema pallidum (Treponema pallidum is a microorganism, neither a bacterium nor a virus), which is mainly transmitted through sex. The disease lasts for decades, sometimes lurking, and sometimes onset. It can cause systemic inflammation with various symptoms, such as acne rash, fever, fatigue, etc. in the early stage, it may lead to organ damage in the late stage, and brain damage will cause mental illness-hence the nickname of syphilis "the great imitator".

Syphilis is "good at imitation", and infected people will hide their contact history, so it is difficult for doctors to diagnose it. It is the pleasure of many historical detectives to guess which celebrities have had syphilis. The list of suspicions is extremely long, including Beethoven, Schopenhauer, Nietzsche, Lincoln, Hitler and so on.

In 1520, Erasmus, a great scholar, said, "If someone asked me what disease killed the most people, I would say it was this disease … more terrible than all other contagious diseases."

At the same time, the writer rabelais wrote syphilis into Biography of the Giant. After several decades, Shakespeare also wrote syphilis into his plays.

During Magellan’s voyage around the world, it was inferred from the symptoms that French King Francois I, British King Henry VIII and Holy Roman Emperor Charles V might have contracted syphilis.

Civilians are also badly hurt by syphilis. Especially in big cities with active floating population. A paper published last year said that at least one fifth of London residents 250 years ago had syphilis.

500 years ago, people put forward many theories of syphilis formation, such as eating potatoes, eating American iguanas, and unfair sex being condemned by God. And astrologers attributed it to an intersection of Saturn and Jupiter in 1484 …

Medieval Arabs used mercury to treat skin diseases such as leprosy and yaws. In 1496, Italian doctors began to treat syphilis with mercury. Until the application of penicillin, mercury was the general plan to deal with syphilis. The doctor rubbed the patients’ skin with mercury and made them take mercury ointment. And let the patient sit in a closed box and kill the virus with mercury vapor.

In the 1940s, the newly invented penicillin was used against spirochetes, and syphilis was finally cured. Today, however, tens of millions of people around the world are still suffering from syphilis because of its drug resistance.

The confusing source

In 1518, a book in Venice first suggested that strange diseases might have been brought to Europe by Columbus’ sailors. If it is a new disease from America, it can explain why syphilis was very deadly at the end of the 15th century, and infected people died soon.

In addition, in the 1990s, two American scientists examined 687 ancient Indian skeletons from the United States and Ecuador. In some areas, syphilis virus has been found in 40% bones. They believe that syphilis was common on Hispaniola Island when Columbus landed. Therefore, the mainstream view in academic circles supports "Columbus’s theory of communication".

However, McNeil, the author of Plague and Man, believes that syphilis is an ancient skin disease that has been circulating in Europe for a long time and is confused with leprosy. "Leprosy" in the Middle Ages and earlier refers to infectious diseases that can damage the skin. After the appearance of syphilis, leprosy no longer bothered Europeans as before. Some people think that this is the result of beginning to regard syphilis and leprosy as two diseases. Others suspect that in 1490, the Pope abolished all leprosy hospitals in Europe and allowed a large number of patients to go home, which is the source of syphilis. This hypothesis is also known as the "European origin theory".

In addition, a small number of ancient remains unearthed in Europe show that there seems to be syphilis symptoms. For example, the remains of a woman who seems to be infected with syphilis found in Essex, England, are estimated to have lived between 1296 and 1445, before Columbus. However, in 2011, there was another appraisal that this kind of remains found in Europe and other places were not diagnosed as syphilis.

In 2020, scientists used molecular dating of ancient bacterial genomes and traditional radiocarbon dating of samples to test the age of treponema pallidum in human remains from Finland, Estonia and the Netherlands. The results show that their genomes can be traced back to the early 15th century to the 18th century.

In a cemetery in Lithuania in the 15th century, scientists found the remains of a woman with yaws. Yaws is a close relative of syphilis, which is caused by another subspecies of spirochete and spread through skin contact. Today, yaws is mostly found only in tropical and subtropical regions. But archaeological results suggest that there was yaws in medieval Europe.

Scientists also found a pathogen in the ancient bones found in the Netherlands, which belongs to a new and unknown treponema pedigree, parallel to syphilis and yaws, but now it no longer exists.

Dating of different treponema family trees shows that these different subspecies differentiated at least 2500 years ago. The differentiation of syphilis-associated spirochetes began between the 12th and 16th centuries-before Columbus got sick.

One hypothesis is that primates in tropical areas have always been the hosts of spirochetes, which are spread by skin contact, such as yaws disease; In the cold regions of Europe, skin-to-skin contact transmission is no longer effective due to the barrier of clothes, and sexual transmission takes the opportunity to become the mainstream. This hypothesis supports the theory of European origin.

Nevertheless, before more evidence appears, there are still many mysteries about the origin of syphilis.

　　On October 25th, China-Europe train (Yiwu — Liege) The first train of "eWTP Cainiao" arrived at the logistics multimodal transport freight station in Liege, Belgium. This is the first special train that runs through the Yangtze River Delta region of China, Central Asia and Europe and serves cross-border electronic commerce.

　　In recent years, the rapid development of cross-border e-commerce has promoted China to become an important participant, promoter and beneficiary in the global cross-border parcel delivery market. This year, it is estimated that the express delivery volume of parcels in China will exceed 60 billion pieces, contributing more than 50% to the growth of the world postal industry. The postal department constantly innovates the service model and improves the global postal network, which not only provides logistics guarantee for cross-border trade, but also shares the dividends brought by the strong growth of cross-border e-commerce — —

　　In recent years, cross-border electronic commerce, especially cross-border B2C, has maintained strong growth and become a new engine of global economic growth. Statistics from the State Post Bureau show that at present, the proportion of parcels from China market has reached 38%, and China has become an important participant, promoter and beneficiary of the global cross-border parcel delivery market.

　　At the UPU Global Conference on Cross-border Cooperation in the Era of E-commerce held recently, Ma Junsheng, Director of the State Post Bureau, revealed that this year, it is estimated that the express delivery volume of parcels in China will exceed 60 billion pieces, contributing more than 50% to the growth of the world postal industry, and the whole industry will support cross-border electronic commerce’s transaction volume for the whole year to exceed 350 billion yuan. China postal delivery industry has become the main logistics mode of cross-border e-commerce with the characteristics of wide network coverage, low price and high speed, and has played an irreplaceable role in promoting the rapid development of cross-border e-commerce.

　　Postal services cover 70% of cross-border parcels.

　　In Xiamen International Mail Exchange Bureau, batches of outbound mails sent by China Post to the United States, Russian, Swiss and other countries and regions are automatically identified by the customs mail supervision system, sorted and cleared, and then boarded the mail bus to the airport. At present, the bureau has established direct sealing relations with 32 ports in 24 countries and regions. The volume of inbound and outbound mail business increased from 39 million in 2016 to more than 60 million in 2018.

　　At the same time, in Yiwu International Mail Exchange Bureau, about 155,500 export mails are shipped to 127 countries and regions around the world every day. Most of them are traditional small commodities such as jewelry, clothes and glasses, which are mainly exported to the United States, Russia, Spain and other countries and regions.

　　"In recent years, under the circumstance that the traditional letter business has been shrinking for more than ten years, many countries’ postal designated operators have implemented diversified transformation with parcels as the core, and developed small packages and express delivery services for the international market, which has achieved remarkable results and returned to the rapid growth channel." Ma Junsheng said that this is mainly due to the development of cross-border electronic commerce. According to the survey, postal services accounted for about 70% of the global cross-border parcels in 2018. These cross-border parcels are mainly clothing, consumer electronic products, health and beauty products, etc. 72% of the parcels weigh less than 1000 grams, which is highly consistent with the advantages of postal delivery of high value and light weight.

　　Ma Junsheng introduced that China has seized the opportunity of e-commerce development, promulgated a series of promotion policies, promulgated and implemented the e-commerce law, implemented the "internet plus Circulation" action plan, and built 35 comprehensive experimental zones in cross-border electronic commerce, which has become the fastest-growing and most dynamic emerging delivery market in the world.

　　Nowadays, cross-border delivery service has played a great role in promoting the export of small and medium-sized enterprises’ products and providing people with goods imports, and has become a new driving force to promote foreign trade growth and industrial transformation and upgrading. With the promulgation of "Several Opinions on Promoting the High-quality Development of Delivery Services in cross-border electronic commerce (Provisional)", it will further guarantee the delivery safety, improve the user experience, reduce the logistics cost, maintain fair competition, and form a new pattern of online and offline collaborative development.

　　"Three customs in one" to ensure smooth postal route

　　In order to cope with the rapid growth of business volume and ensure the timeliness of mail express, many inbound and outbound mail express processing centers across the country are innovating service models.

　　According to reports, Xiamen Inbound and Outbound Mail Express Supervision Center is the first comprehensive service platform for inbound and outbound supervision in China that integrates mail exchange bureau, express mail and cross-border e-commerce supervision mode. "The center has not only settled in the customs and other regulatory units, but also settled in 42 express mail, customs declaration and logistics enterprises, realizing the same venue ‘ Three customs in one ’ It has greatly improved the efficiency of customs clearance, enriched the customs clearance business model and provided greater convenience for cross-border e-commerce. " The staff of the center told the reporter that in order to provide convenient and fast services to consumers, personal goods tax payment can also realize online (UnionPay, WeChat) and offline linkage, which meets the individual needs of individual users.

　　General rules of postal routes are widely traded. The export business volume of light and small parts has increased geometrically, which has also opened the road to success for cross-border e-commerce. More sellers have concentrated on the operation of light and small parts, gradually forming an agglomeration effect.

　　"In order to better serve cross-border e-commerce, China Post upgraded the original international small package business, connected with the e-commerce platform system, optimized the tariff structure, realized online delivery of small package products, and provided a more economical and convenient delivery solution for light and small products with good quality and low price in China." Zhang Ronglin, deputy general manager of China Post Group Corporation, said that at present, the international small package service has expanded to more than 200 countries and regions around the world, making it one of the preferred logistics solutions for cross-border sellers. At the same time, China Post also cooperated with cross-border e-commerce platform to serve the transformation of manufacturing industry. At present, there are more than 100,000 small and medium-sized enterprises delivered by China Post.

　　Li Guo, deputy director of the General Administration of Customs of China, said that China Customs has effectively promoted the rapid development of cross-border e-commerce retail import and export by continuously strengthening supervision and optimizing services. From January to October this year, the total retail import and export volume through the customs cross-border electronic commerce management platform was 139.62 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 25.5%.

　　Set up a global postal network by land, sea and air

　　The rapid development of cross-border electronic commerce has not only effectively promoted cross-border trade and global economic development, but also had a great impact on the export, transshipment and delivery of postal supply chain.

　　Taking international railway postal transportation as an example, international railway postal transportation is a channel innovation to promote the development of cross-border e-commerce business. At present, it has realized the large-scale operation of postal transportation in Chongqing New Europe and Yixin New Europe. "Railway transportation is safe, fast, green and less affected by the natural environment, and has become the backbone of cross-border land transportation in China." Liu Aili, Chairman of China Post Group Corporation, said that up to now, China Post has sent more than 10 million pieces of mail to 24 European countries through China-Europe trains, China-Russia combined rail transport and other railway modes, with a total weight of more than 2,000 tons.

　　In the era of e-commerce, the postal network based on the framework of the Universal Postal Union is still the largest physical delivery network in the world, and it is also the main channel for the delivery of cross-border e-commerce goods. Bichard Hussain, Director-General of the International Bureau of UPU, said that cross-border trade is the heart of globalization, and it is very important for global trade to ensure that the global supply chain is efficient and effective. If the global postal network is to provide convenience for global trade and ensure the rapid and safe flow of billions of mails, it is necessary to use new technologies, improve service quality and enhance the integration of railway freight.

　　How to achieve borderless, universal, personalized, efficient, safe, reliable and environment-friendly cross-border electronic commerce service? "All stakeholders such as postal services, customs, aviation and railways should work together to share opportunities, meet challenges and seek common development." Zhao Min, deputy director of the State Post Bureau, said that cross-border electronic commerce is the most growing new kinetic energy in the postal sector. Postal departments should actively respond to the deep adjustment of the global industrial chain supply chain, maintain agile response and dynamic adjustment, implement digital transformation, and integrate with new formats such as sharing economy and platform economy through data resource sharing and intelligent upgrading of facilities and equipment to adapt to the requirements of the digital economy era.

　　"In the future, the State Post Bureau will promote bilateral and multilateral postal and express cooperation, deepen exchanges and cooperation with international organizations such as customs, railways and civil aviation, and further create a good environment for postal express delivery enterprises to participate in cross-border electronic commerce." Zhao Min said.

　　General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out that investigation and research is the heirloom of our party and the basic skill of doing all the work well. Investigation and research are the basis of seeking something and the way to accomplish it. Without investigation, there is no right to speak, and without investigation, there is no decision-making power. The Central Committee of the Communist Party of China has decided to carry out investigation and research in the whole party as an important part of the theme education of the whole party, and make careful arrangements for doing a good job in investigation and research in the new era. Hunan Provincial Party Committee has fully implemented the deployment requirements of the CPC Central Committee, solidly organized and carried out the activities of "going to the grassroots level, finding problems, finding ways and promoting development", and urged party organizations at all levels in the province and the vast number of party member and cadres to consciously carry forward the fine traditions, so as to better enhance their skills, solve problems and promote their work in the practice of Daxing investigation and research.

　　First, take the mass line and go deep into the grassroots.

　　General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out that "to carry out investigation and research is to follow the mass line". Only through in-depth investigation and study of the masses can we really find out the problems faced by the masses, reflect their opinions and sum up the experience created by the masses, and then we can get a correct understanding and make scientific decisions. To do a good job in investigation and research, we should fully practice the party’s mass line in the new era, dive into the masses, and listen to what the grassroots cadres and the masses think and expect.

　　Improve the mechanism that cadres often go to the grassroots level. The provincial party committee clearly stipulates that during the theme education, the time for leading cadres in party member to go deep into the grassroots and departments for investigation is not less than 1/3 of the working hours. It is necessary to adhere to the working methods of grass-roots units under the reception of letters and visits, on-site office, investigation and research, and publicity of the Party’s principles and policies, deepen the work of working in party member to enter the community, volunteer service, and help in the village, so as to promote the masses of party member and cadres to feel the situation, solve problems and solve people’s worries. Urge grass-roots party organizations to combine Party Day activities with the theme of "one lesson, one piece, one practice in January", organize party member and cadres to go deep into the masses by means of visits and investigations, and ensure the normalization and long-term effectiveness of the grass-roots units.

　　Improve the system of contact points for leading cadres. The provincial party committee requires that each standing committee member of the provincial party committee contact one county (city, district) or one grass-roots unit respectively, and make no less than three visits to the contact points during the theme education. At present, the members of provincial, city and county party committees have established 1670 grassroots contact points. Leading cadres in party member at or above the county level in the province should, according to their responsibilities and division of work, adopt the "four noes and two straights" approach, go deep into grass-roots units for casing research and dissecting sparrows, and take the lead in implementing the system of contacting grass-roots party organizations, non-party representatives and service experts.

　　Carry out visits and return visits by leading cadres. Letters and visits from the masses are "mass work delivered to the door" and "the most urgent investigation and study". It is necessary to guide leading cadres at all levels to take the lead in receiving visits and making appointments, take the lead in going deep into places where there are many contradictions and disputes to carry out case visits, key appointments and home visits, take the lead in reading letters from the masses and online letters and visits, and take the lead in solving outstanding problems that the masses have strongly reflected. Promote leading cadres at or above the county level to arrange at least two visits during the theme education period, understand the voices and demands of the grassroots, actively resolve social contradictions, and promptly correct problems in policy implementation.

　　Smooth the "network inquiry" platform. Adhere to the online mass line in the new era, make full use of government portals, WeChat WeChat official account, etc., set up columns to solicit online opinions, strengthen the analysis and judgment of netizens’ opinions, actively respond to the demands and suggestions reflected by the masses online, and ask the people about politics, considerations and needs through the Internet, so as to truly realize where public opinion is concentrated and where investigation and research should go. Develop the information reporting system of investigation problems in the whole province, sort out the problems found in the investigation in time, establish a ledger, summarize them at different levels, report them step by step, and make a note of the account and dynamically cancel the number.

　　Second, practice the spirit of realism and effectively identify problems.

　　General Secretary of the Supreme Leader has repeatedly stressed that it is necessary to adhere to the problem orientation, focus on the outstanding contradictions and problems facing China’s development, and conduct in-depth investigation and study. The provincial party Committee has sorted out 38 key research contents in 8 categories based on the 12 research contents put forward by the Central Committee of the Standard. It is stipulated that each member of the leading group at or above the county level should lead at least one topic to carry out research. Investigation and research should go straight to the problem, carry out the problem sorting and problem investigation, really find out the situation and identify the problem, and lay the foundation for the right medicine, rectification and upgrading.

　　Focus on decision-making needs. Investigation is the premise and basis of decision-making. The deeper the investigation, the more scientific the decision-making will be. It is necessary to carry out investigation and research throughout the whole process of decision-making and implementation, insist on investigation before decision-making, and organize solid investigation and research before making major decisions, implementing major strategies, promoting major work, and solving major practical problems. Before the promulgation of important document policies, we should take the form of hearings and argumentation meetings in time to fully listen to the necessity of the promulgation of document policies, grasp the shortcomings and improvement directions of document policies, maximize the scientific and democratic level of decision-making, and ensure that it can stand the test of practice, people and history.

　　It is difficult to focus on development. Insist on solving difficult problems and promoting high-quality development as an important part of Daxing’s investigation and research, closely focus on the work of stabilizing growth, promoting industries, benefiting people’s livelihood, improving the environment, preventing risks, and ensuring security, aiming at the right medicine, tackling difficulties, and promoting the solution of a number of difficult and blocking problems that affect high-quality development. Adhere to the guidance of classification, and promote all departments in the province to carry out special research around "building a national advanced manufacturing highland", "protecting a river and clear water" and "preventing and resolving government debt risks". Focus on solving the outstanding problems in Party building and organizational work, focus on finding the right entry point in improving the inspection system for political construction, improving the normalized working mechanism for training and selecting outstanding young cadres, encouraging cadres to take responsibility, and strengthening party building in new formats and new employment groups, and carry out in-depth forward-looking countermeasures.

　　Focus on what the masses expect. It is necessary to take solving the most direct and realistic interests that the people are most concerned about as the direction of investigation and research, spend more time and energy listening to "people’s words" in the fields, watching "fireworks" in the streets and alleys, chatting with the people, making friends, and letting the people open their hearts to talk about changes in temperature and demand. Continue to carry out practical activities for the people, carefully find and solve outstanding problems in education, employment, medical treatment, etc., especially the problem of infringing on the interests of the masses, and truly make the process of investigation and research a process of solving worries for the people and rallying people’s hearts.

　　Third, use scientific methods to accurately propose countermeasures.

　　General Secretary of the Supreme Leader stressed that it is necessary to learn and master the correct methods and strive to improve the level and effectiveness of investigation and research. To carry out investigation and study, if you don’t master scientific methods, it will be difficult to find out the problems, find the right laws and put forward the countermeasures. We should always adhere to the scientific guidance of the Party’s innovation theory, make good use of Marxist standpoints and methods that run through it, comprehensively adopt various scientific and effective research methods and means, and constantly study new situations, solve new problems, sum up new experiences and explore new laws.

　　In-depth analysis and research. Investigation and research are both "tuning" and "researching", and both are indispensable. We must resolutely avoid "tuning" without "researching" and "only taking the pulse without prescribing the prescription". We should pay attention to the comprehensive use of classification, comparison, statistical analysis, contradiction analysis, mathematical model and other methods to conduct a comprehensive and in-depth analysis of the investigation, attach importance to both qualitative analysis and quantitative analysis, and effectively systematize the scattered understanding and deepen the superficial understanding. Keep pace with the times and use modern information technologies such as the Internet, big data and cloud computing to improve the breadth and accuracy of research. Especially for those universal and institutional problems, involving deep-seated key issues of reform, development and stability, outstanding problems of patrol inspection, supervision and inspection feedback, as well as difficult problems and persistent diseases, we should thoroughly study, identify the root causes and crux, and put forward pragmatic and effective countermeasures.

　　Good at brainstorming. Opening the door to ask questions and opening the way is the proper attitude and effective method to do a good job in investigation and research. We should put down our posture, be willing to be "primary school students", consciously worship the masses as teachers, take the initiative to ask for advice from the people, and draw on the wisdom of the masses. Pay attention to the advantages of universities, research institutes and think tanks, strengthen forward-looking strategic research, and improve the effectiveness of solving problems. Broaden your horizons, learn about effective practices in related fields in other regions through multiple channels, and actively learn from useful experiences. Pay attention to listening to opinions and suggestions from all sides, gather the wisdom of all people, and strive to make countermeasures and suggestions more targeted and effective. On this basis, conduct special research and analysis, and formulate ideas, methods and policy measures to solve problems and promote work.

　　The system is precise. Investigation and research is a systematic project, involving all aspects of work. We should carry out the concept of system throughout the investigation and study, especially put forward countermeasures to grasp the relationship between the overall situation and the local, the present and the long-term, the macro and micro, the main contradiction and the secondary contradiction, and pay attention to systematicness, synergy and compatibility. Give full play to the role of co-ordination, actively unite relevant departments and institutions to jointly lead tasks, jointly include them in the list, and jointly issue policies, make good use of the resource advantages, platform advantages and professional advantages of various departments, focus on key points, set priorities and classify advantages and disadvantages, and form the best scheme of policy combination. When prescribing "prescriptions", different solutions are put forward according to the different needs of different subjects.

　　Fourth, highlight the practice orientation and promote the normal and long-term effect

　　The General Secretary of the Supreme Leader stressed that investigation and research should pay attention to actual results and prevent research for investigation’s sake. How to measure the effect of research depends on whether the countermeasures are implemented, whether the problems are solved and whether the work is improved. To carry out investigation and study, we must pay attention to seeking practical results and becoming normal, and resolutely prevent formalism and bureaucracy.

　　Construct a normal mechanism. Timely summarize and refine the effective practices and successful experiences of investigation and research, improve the long-term mechanism of investigation and research, and make investigation and research become the regular work of cadres in party member. During his term of office, the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee will travel to the towns and counties (cities, districts) under the jurisdiction of the city and state, and the secretary of the county (city, district) will travel to the villages under the jurisdiction of the county. Taking Daxing’s investigation and research work as an important part of annual assessment, performance assessment and grass-roots party building debriefing assessment, and as an important reference for leading cadres to evaluate and promote their use, it has become a common practice to promote investigation and research.

　　Transform results in time. Do a good job in the "second half of the article" of research, focus on promoting the application of research, and avoid the research results "lying on paper" and "shelved". In-depth summary and promotion of new explorations, new creations, good practices and good experiences from the front line, the establishment of a list of transformation and application of research results, the cracking of overall and universal problems should be transformed into policy measures, and the cracking of emerging and tendentious problems should be transformed into preventive measures, so as to carry out a survey, solve a problem and form a set of mechanisms. The Organization Department of Hunan Provincial Party Committee listed 27 key research topics, such as "doing the work of representing villagers (residents)" and "improving the quality of Party Day activities with the theme of" one lesson, one piece, one practice in January ".Members of the ministerial committee and various offices took the initiative to lead the topics, and held a research exchange meeting every two months to timely turn the research results into effective measures to promote the high-quality development of organizational work.

　　Closed-loop implementation. Establish a list and closed-loop working mechanism, and form a problem list, a responsibility list and a task list for the problems reflected and found in the investigation, and list the solutions, responsible units, responsible persons and completion time one by one. For those that can be solved in a short period of time, we will set up a reform, do it right away, and do it well. For those that are difficult to solve for a while and need to be continuously promoted, we should keep a close eye on them and grasp them to the end in order to achieve phased results in a certain period of time. For problems involving multiple regions or departments and units, it is linked up and down to promote the overall solution. Strengthen tracking, supervision and efficiency, and pay regular return visits to research objects and problem solving, so as to ensure that the decision-making arrangements of the CPC Central Committee and the work requirements of the provincial party committee are truly implemented and effective.

1905 movie network news On November 24th, the film released a "family of four" notice, wishing (ornaments), medicine or not (ornaments), and yellow cigarettes (ornaments) to recognize Fu Gui (ornaments) as a father, and the soul of the "Lost Treasure Team" burned, injecting humor into the warring antique rivers and lakes.

　

The film "Antique close encounter of mahjong" is adapted from Ma Boyong’s novel of the same name. The film focuses on the priceless jade Buddha head of Wu Zetian Mingtang, revealing the shocking scam in the antique world. The Buddha’s head lost overseas returned, but it was found to be a fake. In order to solve the mystery of the Buddha’s head, I made a wish to follow the clues left by my father Xu Heping (ornaments) and embark on a dangerous road of treasure hunting. At the same time, the five-pulse genius medicine (Li Xian) is pressing hard step by step, and Huang Yanyan (Xin Zhilei), a descendant of the five-pulse Huangmen, helps, and Fu Gui (Ge You), an old friend of Xu’s family, brings the key clue … …

The "Treasure Squad" went to the rivers and lakes to fight, and there were struggles and cooperation. When a wish, medicine or yellow smoke was forced by the sword of Zheng Guoqu (ornaments) and his life was hanging by a thread, Fu Gui suddenly appeared and was honored as "Uncle Fu" by Zheng Guoqu, giving the trapped three people a glimmer of hope. In order to get out of trouble successfully, the three men directly recognized Fu Gui as their father, and the dangerous dinner meeting with swords instantly turned into a scene of hilarious recognition of relatives. Many viewers said: "This is not a’ treasure squad’, this is a’ happy comedian’!"

Like the joyful atmosphere in the preview, the four actors of the "Treasure Squad" are also bursting with joy on the set. As a Northeastern, Lei Jiayin has his own funny gene, and the confrontation between the two heroes in the trick is described as "your son meets the wild road", which attracted the director’s praise again and again; Although the traditional Chinese medicine in the play is not "exquisite responsibility", Li Xian completely released himself outside the play and jumped disco； on the ice; Xin Zhilei and Ge You have a tacit understanding, even laughing that they want to form a CP.

The director said: "The relaxed atmosphere of the crew has given us a lot of inspiration. The scene like’ A Family of Four’ was improvised by everyone and finally showed a very good effect. It is not only a burden, but also shows the relationship between the four roles in a relaxed and humorous way. "Although the "Treasure Squad" has different purposes, they will still help each other when the danger comes. This relationship of being an enemy and a friend has the possibility of infinite reversal, adding a layer of coolness to this treasure puzzle.

The great changes in China in the past 40 years of reform and opening up are, to some extent, a process of cooperation, competition and even game among private enterprises, state-owned enterprises and foreign enterprises. Foreign enterprises have played an important role in the development and reform of China’s economy, and are also an important weather vane reflecting the business environment and market structure adjustment in China.

Swiss industrial giant ABB was formed in 1988 by the merger of two international companies with a history of more than 100 years-Arcia of Sweden (ASEA) and BBC Brown Boveri of Switzerland, with its headquarters in Zurich, Switzerland.

The relationship between ABB and China can be traced back to 1907, when ABB provided a steam boiler to China, and it really entered the mainland of China in 1979, when it set up an office in Beijing.

According to the official introduction, after years of rapid development, ABB has a full range of business activities such as R&D, manufacturing, sales and engineering services in China, with 40 local enterprises and 17,000 employees in 142 cities. In 2017, more than 90% of ABB’s sales revenue in China came from locally manufactured products, systems and services. At present, China is the second largest market of ABB Group in the world.

Last year, ABB released ABB AbilityTM digital platform and solution in China. This digital action "hopes to get more information with customers through equipment, systems, solutions, services and platforms, and develop richer and better services" and "further consolidate ABB’s leading position in the energy revolution and the fourth industrial revolution".

As a global technology leader in the fields of electrical products, robots and motion control, industrial automation and power grid, what is ABB’s experience in taking root in China, how to adjust its sales strategy in China, and what are its views on domestic property rights protection? On June 10th, Dr. Gu Chunyuan, President of ABB Group Asia, Middle East and Africa and member of ABB Group Executive Committee, was interviewed by The Paper and other media in Zurich.

Gu Chunyuan graduated from the School of Mechanical Engineering of Shanghai Jiaotong University in 1982, received a doctorate in engineering from the Royal Swedish Institute of Technology in 1987, joined ABB in 1989, and was elected as an academician of the Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering in 2015. In 2014, he became the chairman and president of ABB (China) Co., Ltd., and he still held the above positions after taking up his new post in 2017.

"Meet the special needs of the China market through research and development in China"

The Paper:After so many years of reform and opening up, what unique experience can ABB share about taking root in China?

Gu Chunyuan:ABB is lucky, thanks to the 40-year reform and opening-up process in China. ABB set up an office in China in 1979, and set up the first joint venture factory in Xiamen in 1992. Last year, we celebrated the 25th anniversary of Xiamen factory. On the whole, our development is closely related to the needs of the country.

In 1978, China’s machinery industry delegation visited six European countries. At that time, it was suggested to introduce the manufacturing technology of 30 kW and 60 kW thermal power units from BBC. Because of the open policy, it is a natural process for the country to introduce technology and then digest it, so ABB quickly entered China.

After entering, we quickly established a local team according to business rules, first creating a sales team, and then establishing a service team, because ABB not only needs to sell products, but also needs to communicate with customers. At that time, many engineering products in China were imported from abroad.

In fact, we can see that the process of China’s market opening and the introduction of many policies are also crossing the river by feeling the stones.

When ABB first entered China, it faced many policy requirements. For example, many industries could not operate solely by themselves, while others could. With the market competition, the products and technologies completely imported from abroad can no longer meet the requirements of the rapid development of the China market, so we quickly established a joint venture factory. The joint venture factory is used for manufacturing. At the beginning, foreign drawings are produced in China and digested by suppliers. Of course, reducing the cost is not the most important thing, but mainly to meet the needs of customers better and faster.

In the process, ABB’s local team and production capacity have been established. With the development of China market, there are also many competitors. In order to improve our own competitiveness and provide better products and services to our customers, we must introduce research and development.

R&D is an orderly process, and R&D teams and R&D capabilities cannot be established overnight.

Comparatively speaking, sales are relatively fast. As long as personnel are trained, selling ABB products is the fastest way. Services need more time, and engineers who provide services should be instructed and certified. Production is relatively fast, so when you invest in a factory, you can build it quickly by bringing the drawings. But R&D involves talents. It takes time to recruit and cultivate talents, and to understand and digest technology. It has its natural laws, but haste makes waste.

The decision we made at that time was to do research and development in China. This is a long-term consideration, that is to say, we really want to take root in China, and we see that our demand for the China market is long-term. Now it seems that ABB did it earlier and thoroughly in foreign companies.

Meet the special needs of China market through research and development in China. The CEO of Jaguar said that China is now leading the trend of electric vehicles. If you want to participate in such a new industry, but don’t do research and development in China, it is not advancing with the times.

The Paper:In the 40 years of China’s reform and opening up, foreign companies have been one of the most important participating forces. As a bridge between foreign businessmen and China government, can you talk about your feelings about the changes in these decades?

Gu Chunyuan:Because of the reform and opening up and the opening of the market, many multinational companies have come to China, and the market has brought us many business opportunities.

On the other hand, I think the country also sees that these multinational companies can bring advanced technology and management manufacturing concepts to China. More importantly, these enterprises have also trained many talents, and these talents flow in the industry. It can be said that we have trained many talents for the country. Of course, there is also a contribution to the national tax revenue.

I think over the years, in fact, the government’s support for our enterprise is still great. At the beginning, we will encounter many restrictions, but now there are no restrictions and the negative list is basically gone. We are still very grateful to the government for its support for the development of our local enterprises.

In the past, when foreign companies first entered China, many of them could not operate independently. If you want to enter my market, you must set up a joint venture factory and invest in technology-from this perspective, I don’t think foreign companies enjoyed "super-national treatment" in the early days of reform and opening up. In recent years, the market has gradually opened up. At least in these industries that ABB belongs to, enterprises can set up independent legal entities. Compared with the past, the whole market is more and more open.

"The fourth industrial revolution has arrived"

The Paper:IP protection is an inevitable concern for foreign capital entering China. What do you think of this issue?

Gu Chunyuan:Doing research and development and manufacturing, everyone was worried about the issue of intellectual property rights, which was quite normal in the environment at that time.

In recent years, China has gradually strengthened the attention and standardization of intellectual property protection, and established corresponding laws and regulations. More importantly, we should invest a lot of manpower to supervise the implementation of laws and regulations. Supervision cannot rely solely on the government, but also needs lawyers and trade associations. This is also a process of talent cultivation and accumulation.

When we did R&D more than ten years ago, there was actually a discussion within the group. If we entered the core R&D, would there be any risk of intellectual property leakage in the future?

At that time, my point of view was this. At that time, we saw that enterprises and governments in China began to pay attention to R&D investment. In fact, what we should discuss is not whether things will be copied. If people copy my things, it means that my things are the best and represent more cutting-edge technology.

The Paper:ABB is a participant in previous industrial revolutions. What form and when do you think the fourth industrial revolution will appear?

Gu Chunyuan:The fourth industrial revolution has actually arrived. As you have seen, informatization and automation are feasible in terms of technology itself.

The fourth industrial revolution is a combination of informationization and automation, which will greatly improve the efficiency of all walks of life in the whole society in the future. We have seen many applications in this respect, and I think the fourth industrial revolution has arrived.

The Paper:Now that China is generally pursuing modernization and localization of equipment, what kind of adjustment will ABB’s market strategy in China have?

Gu Chunyuan:After so many years of reform and opening up, China has become the second largest economy in the world, but at the same time, we should also see that the past demographic dividends, land dividends and environmental dividends have gradually weakened. Now China’s requirements for environmental protection are not much different from those of western society; Our land cost is also high; In terms of personnel, first, the labor force is decreasing, and second, the labor cost is rising.

Under such circumstances, the past production mode, that is, simple processing, assembly and export, trade processing and trade export, is definitely unsustainable because it is not competitive. In the future, it is necessary to increase added value, and the state should invest in high-end manufacturing to improve production efficiency and competitiveness.

It should be noted that, firstly, ABB produces domestically produced products, all of which are produced locally in China. In addition, what we want to see is an open market, and a competitive market can promote the progress of technology and industry. Therefore, I believe that this country still has very clear policies and a clear understanding.

In other words, we should encourage state investment and support domestic enterprises to participate in competition. Including in Europe, the development of automobile batteries will also emphasize the concept of localization, and batteries cannot be provided entirely from outside. On the other hand, the country will maintain an open and competitive market. Only in this way can local enterprises, multinational enterprises and state-owned enterprises in China have a good growth opportunity.

"The future research trend should start from the deep-seated needs of human beings"

The Paper:ABB’s poster reads "Let’s work together to create a better future". Could you please describe the future trend, mainly scientific research trend? What is it?

Gu Chunyuan:It is basically dangerous to talk about the future. Judging from the historical experience of human society, it will probably be wrong nine times out of ten. But we can see a big direction, which is to meet human needs, that is, deep-seated needs.

The first is our requirements for environmental protection. Maybe five, ten or twenty years ago, people thought this concept was a little empty, but today everyone has a very profound understanding of environmental protection. There is also a degree of freedom that people need.

Which technical route will be adopted in the future, or what it will be like, is anyone’s guess. But the deep-seated demand is that we should protect the earth better for our future generations; We need to maintain the freedom we need as an individual. Of course, there are many other needs.

From this perspective, we can predict many technologies, such as the involvement and introduction of more renewable energy in the future. One of the technological revolutions in this respect is power generation technology, and the other is to improve the efficiency of power generation technology through materials. This is on the supply side, the generation and supply of energy.

On the user side, whether in factories, buildings, homes and trips, everyone’s awareness of energy conservation and environmental protection has gradually increased. This is not simply a matter of using less air conditioners and less lamps, especially when you see that in Europe, it is not because people can’t afford the electricity bill, but rather a situation caused by environmental awareness. When we were young, we had to turn off the lights, which was more because we couldn’t afford the electricity bill.

Such a sense of environmental protection has also generated a lot of energy-saving needs. For example, after the introduction of electric vehicles, users’ demand for electricity is more dynamic, and it also involves safety issues, so many new technologies need to be studied at this time.

Another piece is automation technology. With the maturity of IT technology, automation technology has been used very maturely since 1960s. After 2000, that is, at the beginning of this century, when the IT technology revolution, everyone felt a little bubble at that time, and then the industry gradually stabilized. With the further development of IT technology and communication technology, we can see that the foundation of interconnection already exists.

On this basis, interconnection, including information sharing between machines, people and machines, will affect future manufacturing. Automation technology has also spawned autonomy, autonomy and unmanned. In the future, unmanned driving and unmanned production are all autonomous. Autonomous technology is supported by the combination of automation and information technology, and its wide application. It can greatly improve two aspects, one is convenience, and the other is efficiency.

　　Jilin: Optimizing the Tourism Environment "Snow for Silver"

　　Our reporter Li Jiping correspondent Yu Xin Li Xinyan

　　Jilin Province is located in the golden latitude zone of skiing in the world, and the winter with thousands of miles of ice and snow in Wan Li is the most charming season of the year. Snow-capped white mountain pine water, crystal-clear rime wonders, steaming health hot springs, Chagan Lake, ice and snow, rime, hot springs and folk customs "four treasures" provide visitors with different feelings.

　　High-quality resources must match high-quality services to make the cold snow and ice full of temperature. Jilin Province took the lead in issuing the "Implementation Opinions on Making the Ice and Snow Industry Bigger and Stronger" in China, and initiated the target system, industrial structure and safeguard measures for the development of the ice and snow industry, especially putting the optimization of service environment in an important position.

　　Since the beginning of winter, the Jilin Provincial Tourism Commission has implemented a special campaign to comprehensively rectify the order of the tourism market. Starting from January 9th, the responsible comrades of the Provincial Tourism Commission led a team to be divided into five groups to supervise and inspect the tourism safety and market order in various places, and concentrated on carrying out special inspections in five aspects, such as inspection, operation, rectification, governance and prevention, so as to strengthen the supervision of the tourism market.

　　"Good environment and service are the foundation for the healthy development of the industry," said Yang Andi, director of the Jilin Tourism Commission. Tourism needs temperature, especially for ice and snow tourism. In recent years, Jilin has adopted high-level promotion, policy-driven, industrial linkage and marketing promotion, realizing the use of warm elements to revitalize "cold" resources. In the snow season from 2016 to 2017, Jilin Province received 61,990,800 tourists, a year-on-year increase of 19.36%; The tourism revenue reached 116 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 27.12%, exceeding 40% of the province’s total tourism revenue.

　　"It’s rare to play rafting in the cold winter! Developing this tourism project is really unconventional. " Mr. Wang, who experienced winter drifting with his family in Lushui River, told reporters that he had never thought that he could drift in winter. Jilin Province is constantly innovating and developing, speeding up the development of new products and formats, and studying the construction of ice bars, ice caves and other special ice and snow products in tourist-intensive scenic spots to realize the innovation, value compounding, format upgrading and product diversification of ice and snow resources.

　　With the goal of "a big province of ice and snow industry, a strong province of ice and snow tourism and a world-class ice and snow tourism destination", Jilin has transformed "cold resources" into "hot economy", and the ice and snow industry has become a new driving force to promote the new round of Jilin’s revitalization, truly realizing "snow for silver".

　　Liaoning:

　　Ice, snow and hot springs become the main brands of tourism.

　　Reporter Zhang Yunqiang reports that the 12th Liaoning Ice and Snow Hot Spring Tourism Festival, sponsored by Liaoning Tourism Development Committee and Yingkou Municipal People’s Government, recently opened in the Red Flag Collection of Bayuquan, Yingkou.

　　According to reports, this ice and snow hot spring tourism festival is based on the theme of "playing ice and snow, soaking in hot springs, and celebrating the New Year". There are more than 20 activities in 4 major sections, starting from January 1, 2018 and ending on February 28. The purpose is to build a brand of winter tourism in Liaoning, dig deep into the tourism resources of ice and snow and hot springs, and promote the development of leisure tourism industry of ice and snow and hot springs.

　　According to reports, this activity focuses on participation, interaction and fun. In addition to holding regular activities such as the opening ceremony, tourism product promotion meeting and tourism summit forum, during the event, various tourism enterprises in Bayuquan launched special tourism products, offering a tourist feast for tourists.

　　Shi Jian, director of the Liaoning Provincial Tourism Commission, said that in recent years, Liaoning’s tourism industry has achieved rapid development, especially the ice and snow and hot spring tourism industries, which have become the main products of Liaoning’s winter tourism, making up for the shortcomings of the winter tourism market and enriching the contents of winter tourism activities.

"Destiny Express" poster

1905 movie network news Directed by Fei Li and starring Zhao Bingrui, Lv Xiaolin, Yu Ailei, SiNi and Zhang You, the black absurd brain-burning comedy will land in the national cinema on May 25th to meet the audience. Since the screening of Destiny Express in major domestic film festivals, it has been supported by many well-known directors and stars in the industry, and its continuous good reputation has aroused expectations from all walks of life.

"Destiny Express" praise poster

The movie "Express of Destiny" tells a "domino of destiny" that happened within 24 hours and was triggered by a debt of 100,000 yuan. Among them, the interlocking and fatalistic labyrinth narrative, seemingly absurd stories and amazing lines have a wonderful chemical reaction and are interpreted into a high-quality black humorous comedy.

　The first novel attracted Jiang Wen, Lou Ye and other young Fei Li talents to hide.

Nowadays, Fei Li, who often plays the roles of director, screenwriter and actor, is not from a regular background. Born in 1978, he worked as a designer before, and he can write novels in his spare time. Later, zuoxiao zuzhou, a friend who knew Fei Li’s talent thoroughly, persuaded him to write the story in his heart, and he began to embark on the road of film creation. In 2014, Fei Li was nominated for the Best Original Screenplay Award in the 51st Golden Horse Award for his film The Intruder. The first attempt at the director’s "Express of Destiny" was to shine at a well-known film festival.

At the 9th FIRST Youth Film Festival, Destiny Express nominated four awards, including best feature film and best director. Jiang Wen was the chairman of the jury of the film festival that made Destiny Express deus ex, while Yan Geling, Bao Dexi, Dai Jinhua, Zhang zhen, Huo Tingxiao and Du Yuan were the judges. "Destiny Express" won the recognition of most review judges under the strict lineup of its "top-level brick-patting group". Zhang zhen and Bao Dexi paid attention to the actors’ performances. Zhang zhen said that "the actors’ self-contained performances are in harmony with the colorful life scenes in the film", while Bao Dexi said that "the film provided unforgettable performances". Director Lou Ye praised the subtlety of the film structure, saying that "the express delivery of fate is also a jigsaw puzzle of fate, and the destinies of small people are interconnected and spliced with each other, which seems to be watertight". Yan Geling, on the other hand, saw Fei Li’s super-high talent and amazing wisdom through her works. She said that "the talent of the author presented in Express of Destiny is a kind of wisdom beyond talent." . Jiang Wen even called it "the most exciting movie I have seen in recent years". Therefore, Fei Li became attached to Jiang Wen, and Jiang Wen named Fei Li as the screenwriter of his new film "Evil Does Not Suppress Righteousness". Jiang Wen said: "The attention Li Fei has received is not worthy of his talent. I hope I can help him."

In addition to the FIRST Youth Film Festival, Fei Li’s "Express of Destiny" also gained a lot of praise. Cao Baoping, the director, lamented that "I hope Fei Li’s film creation can always be so free", while Andy Lau expressed great concern for the director himself, saying that "the author writes beautifully and shoots skillfully, which makes him feel comfortable as a screenwriter and director", so he specially met with Fei Li and revealed his intention for further cooperation. In addition to Andy Lau, who was amazed by the film, Zhou Yun, Summer Xu and Eddie Peng Yuyan, who are also actors, also expressed their high recognition of Fei Li after watching the film. Zhou Yun once said that "every actor’s performance is properly attached to their destiny", and Eddie Peng Yuyan even praised Fei Li’s talent. "The director proved to me that you can make amazing brain-burning comedies without convergence and following the trend." Summer Xu, on the other hand, directly booked many heroines of the next play from Fei Li. "This play once again showed me the great possibility of performing, and I hope to be the heroine of Fei Li next time."

In addition, zuoxiao zuzhou, who encouraged Fei Li to embark on the road of creation at the beginning, said after reading the film that "there are not many first novels that can keep me from urinating, but Fei Li’s" Express of Destiny "is definitely one of them."

"Humorous Comedy" May Dark Horse "Destiny Express" is full of cleverness.

After Crazy Stone, there are few movies with black humor in China. "Destiny Express" fills the gap in this theme. Similarly, it is a comedy with distinctive typology. Fei Li uses a multi-line narrative structure to pay tribute to "Pulp Fiction" and intertwine the mixed life of the protagonists overnight to form a tragicomedy. The sharp realistic dilemmas faced by the young people at the bottom are hidden under the appearance of characters, such as "whether love will start with face value, be obsessed with character, be defeated by material things and die of embarrassment", "Is the Dover Sect of the young people in Beipiao really peaceful or too tired" and "the hidden rule of entertainment circle: actors have to be directors if they want to play" … …

Although "Express of Destiny" is a film with distinctive typology and great commercial value, it actually costs only a few million, and Gu Changwei and other big names are also friends. And such a small-budget movie can break through in May and become a dark horse with a hot reputation. In the face of numerous favorable comments, director Li Fei was modest, saying that "many things are coincidences".

Golden sentences are frequently praised. Netizens call "my heart’s broken, old fellow."

With the film "Express of Destiny" being shown in the First Film Festival and the Shanghai Film Festival, fans’ favorable comments began to appear on various platforms. Netizen mustard green beans said, "It can be seen that the director’s aesthetic is high, and the actors’ performances are all wonderful. It is said that it took less than 3 million yuan. It is very good for domestic films to be made like this with so little money. Five stars encourage!" Douban netizen VInnncent left a message that "the whole journey without urine is too enjoyable", but it is more the voice that ordinary fans expect to see on the big screen.

Destiny Express tells the most real life with seemingly absurd stories. It is precisely because of this that Andy Lau said "this is a story that can happen anywhere" after watching the film. Use this to affirm the universality and realism of film values. In the movie, Zhou Xiaotie, a young debt collector from the north, speaks a local dialect, which is funny and full of golden sentences. For example, "I’ve been in Beijing for a day, and I’m tired" and "I don’t like impulsiveness now" have caused netizens to imitate, and some people even left a message "Every sentence hits the point. I have pierced my old iron! "

Last week, a card friend left a message saying that he wanted to choose a car within the budget of 400,000-500,000 for long-distance green transportation. The transportation sections are mainly in South China and North China, and occasionally the southwest route is taken. The road conditions are more complicated. Because it is time-sensitive transportation, high horsepower is the first choice, and secondly, the configuration and comfort of the vehicle should be able to keep up, reducing the fatigue of long-distance driving. If it were you, what model would you recommend? I recommend the flagship KX with 600 horsepower (the manufacturer’s guide price is 450,000 yuan) and the flagship KX with 550 horsepower (the manufacturer’s guide price is 445,000 yuan). Who can be better as the "flagship model" PK of two cars and two cars? Let’s take a look at it next.

It’s a flagship product from No.2 Automobile Company, but a flagship product from faw liberation. The picture of "duel" between two cars seems deja vu. Yes, Dongfeng Tianlong and the liberation of J6 in those days were also a difficult thing for many users to choose. Up to now, domestic users have not chosen cars according to the region, but the products are selling well in all major regions of China.

In terms of appearance, Tianlong flagship KX and Jiefang J7 are both "handsome", and the front of the car is tall, handsome and attractive, which is in line with international standards. The front face design of Tianlong flagship KX seems simple, but it is actually exquisite at close range. The large-area cooling holes in the bumper area provide a good cooling environment for high horsepower, and the top floor of the front boarding steps is above the headlights, which is excellent in practicality. The front face of Jiefang J7 adopts a family-style cooling grille design, which has obvious layering, making the front face of the vehicle more atmospheric and the overall design more recognizable.

Both cars have adopted the design of integrated rearview mirror cover, and the integrated design shows better wind resistance coefficient for high-speed driving. In the details of rearview mirror cover, Tianlong’s flagship KX is made of black glossy material, which gives people a better feeling of exquisiteness than the ordinary plastic shell that liberated J7. In terms of rearview mirror configuration, the two cars remain flat, and both are equipped with electric adjustment and heating functions, which is practical enough.

Today’s headlight design is even more fancy than that of passenger cars. The popular L-shaped design is adopted by Tianlong flagship KX, and the long and prominent LED strip is like a tusk. In terms of lighting, Tianlong flagship KX is equipped with a three-lens configuration, and the high and low beams and even fog lamps are equipped with lenses, which not only has strong aesthetics, but also improves the practicality and safety of driving at night.

The headlight design of Jiefang J7 matches the lines of the front face, which is as sharp as the "eagle eye". Compared with Tianlong flagship KX, its lighting configuration is slightly inferior, only supporting the Dan Toujing configuration, which is also the mainstream configuration in heavy trucks at present. However, the air guide slot is designed at the edge of the lamp group, which can not only improve the aerodynamic performance, but also reduce the probability of soil adhesion for the car body.

In the heavy truck models in the range of 400,000-500,000, the active safety configuration of the two vehicles is relatively kind. The original vehicle supports "four-way image monitoring" to reduce the blind spots of the vehicles, and is equipped with lane keeping auxiliary system and warning device. While improving the comfort configuration, the active safety of the vehicle must not be forgotten. Both cars have done a great job.

It is said that both cars are big. How big are they? Compared with the model of Tianlong flagship KX, the body size is 6990x2524x3960mm, and the chassis wheelbase is 3350+1350mm. The dimensions of Jiefang J7 are: 6915x2550x4000mm, and the wheelbase of the chassis is 3300+1350mm. In terms of size, the gap between the two cars is only a few centimeters, but the large-size cab means that the passability in and out of alleys, village roads and other sections is poor. In some transportation situations, only small vehicles can be requested for transshipment, and these big guys just concentrate on running on high-speed roads.

All users should rest assured that the labels of face value, configuration and luxury will not be stingy when choosing heavy truck models in the range of 400,000-500,000, especially in domestic models, which will only be more luxurious, and the cab mainly pursues high-quality driving comfort. The design of the door panel is similar to that of the two cars. The color matching of black and brown first makes people feel a sense of luxury. Secondly, the audio speakers, chrome-plated materials and welcome lights on the door panel give users a textured experience. At the same time, the storage slot space on the door panel is not small, and it has both practicality and value.

I believe everyone has their own answer when they take a look at the materials used for interior buttons. Basically, there are many similar exquisite button designs in the heavy trucks at this price, even in the 300,000-range heavy trucks, and the exquisite feeling is no longer unique to passenger cars. These large commercial vehicles have gradually paid attention to this piece, bringing better car experience to drivers and passengers. It is worthy of being a flagship model and satisfactory in configuration and workmanship.

Seat airbag shock absorption is necessary. With the four-point airbag suspension shock absorption in the cab, the driver’s comfort has been greatly improved. Compared with the same price (the price difference is 5,000 yuan) in the model, the performance of the seat configuration of Tianlong flagship KX will be more kind, and it is equipped with ventilation and heating functions, which is indeed a very practical and pleasing configuration for the driver of long-distance transportation.

Compared with almost the same price (the price difference is 5,000 yuan), the seat configuration of Jiefang J7 is relatively disappointing. It is always a "good dish" to make a kind configuration. There are neither ventilated seats nor heated seats, so users who want to enjoy it later may have to install them themselves. (The J7 model is equipped with this configuration. Users who have requirements for configuration can look at the previous configuration model. )

The environmental performance of the driver’s seat of both cars is very good. The driver’s side is the central control button area, and there are some soft bags on the door panels. Tianlong’s flagship KX and Jiefang J7 both use four-position steering wheels, and their own logo designs are used for their shapes. As for which one they like, it’s really "radish and green vegetables have their own love". This link is really hard to comment on, because the steering wheel configuration and workmanship performance of the two cars are tied. On higher-profile models, there is also a leather steering wheel to choose from, which feels better.

Where does the sense of science and technology come from? Looking directly at the driver’s dashboard can explain this very well. Both cars use the traditional pointer instrument+LCD display, which keeps the tradition and adds a lot of colors of science and technology. Among them, the color LCD display of Tianlong flagship KX is larger, and users who are interested in science and technology may prefer it. The LCD display is also quite rich, so the driver can fully grasp the dynamic situation of the vehicle.

The original factory of the two cars is equipped with a central touch screen, which supports Bluetooth phones and music. In terms of comfort, the two cars are also provided with automatic constant temperature air conditioning, further improving the convenience of drivers. The buttons on the center console are designed, and the chrome-plated decoration used by Jiefang J7 will give people a more exquisite feeling. Moreover, Jiefang J7 puts the main and parking handles on the center console, which can make more space for the cab.

The interior atmosphere of the two-car cab is two completely different styles. The main body of Tianlong flagship KX adopts black, brown and gray color matching, and the wooden decorative board runs through more than half of the center console, creating a luxurious and home atmosphere. In Jiefang J7, a large number of black and silver decorative boards are used as color matching, and the rest are influenced by beige. The overall atmosphere in the cab is mainly fashionable and home-oriented.

As for the storage space in the cab, the performance of the two cars is uneven, which may make the J7 slightly better in the design of storage space. The design of the flat-floor cab of the two cars also makes the space in the cab quite spacious, so it is no problem to stand a 170cm adult man on the central platform.

There is a slight difference in the height of the cab between the two cars. I don’t know if it is because of this reason that the top locker space of Jiefang J7 is much larger than that of Tianlong flagship KX, but the slight difference does not matter, mainly because the two cars have done a good job in this detail. The locker cover adopts hydraulic tappets, and there are lights inside, so that drivers can take and put things at night.

It is recognized that it is good to have a large cab, that is, the interior space of the cab is spacious, and so is the sleeper space. For the actual use of long-distance transportation, the frequency of sleeper use is quite high, so it is very important to have a spacious and comfortable sleeper in this kind of transportation.

In the pursuit of timeliness, high horsepower is a part, and small speed ratio is also a point to ensure that the engine power can play the best level when the vehicle runs at high speed.

The comparison model Tianlong flagship KX is equipped with a Z14NB600 inline six-cylinder engine, with a displacement of 13.48 liters, a maximum horsepower of 600 horsepower and a maximum torque of 2750 Nm, which is matched with the Dongfeng DT1428 DD fourteen-gear manual (matching).

The comparison model Jiefang J7 is equipped with a CA6DM3-55E52 inline six-cylinder engine with a displacement of 12.52 liters, a maximum horsepower of 550 horsepower and an engine torque of 2,600 Nm, which is matched with a faw liberation CA12TAX230M3 manual twelve-gear gearbox.

Tianlong flagship KX adopts double 440 single-stage axles, and the rear axle speed ratio is 2.69. Take Kajia speed calculator as an example, when the vehicle has a total mass of 49 tons and the speed reaches the optimal economic speed of 96.9km/h at that time, the engine speed is only 1,100 rpm, which can be said to be excellent for fuel saving. The 465 rear axle was used to liberate J7, and the speed ratio was 3.417. Taking Kajia speed calculator as an example, when the total mass of the vehicle was 49 tons and the speed reached the optimal economic speed of 96.4km/h at that time, the engine speed was 1,300 rpm, which was considered as an optimal speed level with relatively low speed.

Another point that long-distance transportation users pay attention to is the endurance of vehicles. The endurance of fuel vehicles is related to the capacity of fuel tanks, and it is certain that the larger fuel tanks can better meet users’ expectations of vehicle endurance. The comparison model Tianlong flagship KX adopts the design of 650+250L double fuel tanks, with a total fuel tank capacity of 900L. Jiefang J7 is designed with 500+500L double fuel tanks, with a total capacity of 1000L.

In addition, in terms of chassis, both cars are designed with the trend of light weight, and the rims, air tanks and fuel tanks are all designed with lighter aluminum alloy and less leaf springs. In the comparison model, the whole vehicle adopts the leaf spring bearing shock absorption system, and the higher configuration model can choose the rear airbag shock absorption configuration.

The manufacturer’s guide price of the comparison model, Tianlong flagship KX, is 450,000 yuan (based on the local dealer’s price), and the manufacturer’s guide price of faw liberation J7 is 445,000 yuan (based on the local dealer’s price). As the flagship models of FAW and No.2 Automobile, the strength of the two cars is worthy of the title of "flagship". Do you think it is sure to import heavy trucks on a par with international standards in terms of design, configuration and power? Indeed, these two models are worthy of our pride. In just 10 or 20 years, we can really feel the progress and rapid development of our domestic heavy trucks from these two cars.

In this price range, are there any high-powered models recommended by card friends? Welcome to discuss it enthusiastically. Maybe you can see your favorite model in the next comparison. (Text: Kajiahao/Xiao Lu)

　　Cctv newsOn the 24th, the United States announced that it would send about 1,500 troops to the Middle East, mainly responsible for defense in response to the so-called "Iranian threat".

　　In this regard, Iranian Foreign Minister Zarif pointed out on the 25th that this move by the United States seriously threatened regional and even world peace and security.

　　Zarif said in an interview with Iran’s official news agency on the same day that the U.S. troop increase is "extremely dangerous" for peace and security in the Middle East and even the whole world — — The decision made by the United States once again proves its hostile policy towards Iran and its intention to "further escalate the tension in the Gulf region".

　　In addition, according to the Iranian Student News Agency No.25, Zarif reiterated in an interview with Reuters that it is impossible for the two countries to conduct diplomatic contacts under the current hostile atmosphere of the United States towards Iran.

　　In an interview, Reuters mentioned that "Iran arrested two American naval vessels and 10 American sailors in the Gulf region in early 2016". It is said that after the incident, Kerry, then US Secretary of State, called Zarif, then Iranian Foreign Minister, and finally contributed to the release of the ten American sailors.

　　In this regard, Zarif said that the current situation is very different from that of that year. The current US Secretary of State Pompeo is extremely unfriendly to Iran. "Every time I talk about Iran, there will be insulting words" — — Zarif said that he would not talk on the phone or deal with such people.

　　Faced with the "extreme pressure" from the United States, the Iranian government has recently made every effort to strengthen its ties with regional countries, especially neighboring countries.

　　On 25th, Iranian Foreign Minister Zarif led a high-level delegation to visit Iraq again and held talks with Iraqi President Saleh and Iraqi Prime Minister Abdul-Mahdi.

　　On 25th, Iraqi President Saleh received Zarif and his party at the presidential residence, and the two sides discussed how to achieve regional security and stability.

　　According to the news of the Iraqi Prime Minister’s Office, Zarif also discussed the relations between the two countries and the regional and international situation with Iraqi Prime Minister Abdul Mahdi on the same day — — In particular, it discusses how to reduce the losses caused by US sanctions against Iran and how to protect the two countries and the Middle East from war.

　　This two-day visit is Zarif’s second visit to Iraq recently. On the eve of Zarif’s visit, Iraqi Prime Minister Abdul-Mahdi and Speaker Habsi both said that Iraq is willing to mediate the tension between the United States and Iran.

　　On the 25th, the Iranian military also responded strongly to the US decision to send more troops to the Middle East.

　　According to Iranian media reports, Morteza Kurbani, adviser to Salami, commander of Iran’s most elite armed forces, said on the 25th that if the United States dares to make any stupid move in the Gulf region, Iran will let Americans taste the power of Iran — — According to Kurbani, Iran has two kinds of "top new secret weapons", which can send American warships to the bottom of the sea together with the planes and soldiers on them.
