The history of the Chinese nation’s reproduction for thousands of years is also the history of fighting diseases. China has accumulated many experiences and lessons in the prevention and treatment of infectious diseases that are particularly harmful, which are worth reviewing, thinking and learning from.

First, the plague in history

There are countless plagues recorded in the history of our country. There were 826 records in the Chronology of Ancient Epidemic in China before 1840, many of which had an important impact on China’s political, economic and social development.

In Battle of Red Cliffs during the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Cao’s army was defeated by Sun Liu’s allied army, which was actually an important influence factor not written in The Romance of the Three Kingdoms-plague. "The History of the Three Kingdoms" says: "Going to Chibi from Cao Cao is not good for preparing for war. So there was a great epidemic, and many officials died, so they led the army back. "

In the 13th year of Tianbao in the Tang Dynasty, Mina Lee "attacked Nanzhao with 70,000 soldiers", Nanzhao fortified the field, and the Tang army ran out of food. "The foot soldiers suffered from plague and starved to death in seven or eight years", and finally suffered a crushing defeat, which not only left "the village in the south and the village in the north cried and mourned, but also left a wife and a husband. The painful memory of all the barbarians before and after the cloud, thousands of people never walked back, and became the fuse of the Anshi rebellion, which made the Tang Dynasty turn from prosperity to decline.

In the war against the Mongolian army in the late Southern Song Dynasty, Sichuan Fishing Town stood firm for 36 years, which shocked the world. At that time, there was a plague in the Mongolian army. According to the Yuan History, in 1259, when the Mongolian Khan Mengge made a personal expedition, "Fishing Mountain in Hezhou was plagued by a major epidemic in the army," which gave the soldiers and civilians in the Southern Song Dynasty a breathing space and finally persisted until 1279.

At the time of the Ming Dynasty’s death and the Qing Dynasty’s prosperity, the outbreak of plague also profoundly affected the historical process. History shows that there were successive plagues in Beijing from 1641 to 1643. A Record of Chongzhen said: "There was a great plague in the capital, and there were tens of thousands of deaths." The epidemic situation was so tragic that the garrison troops in Beijing were seriously short of posts, so they collapsed when the peasant army in Li Zicheng attacked.

The above are just typical examples of some important moments in history. In fact, in the vast land of China, plagues of different epidemic scales can be said to exist for all ages, seriously endangering people’s lives and health.

Second, the exploration and understanding of epidemic prevention

Where there is a plague, there must be a struggle against it. In Oracle Bone Inscriptions, we can already see the early measures taken. For example, Oracle inscriptions have "illness, death", which means not to get close to the patient, probably because you have an epidemic disease. In the Yin ruins where a large number of Oracle bones were unearthed, a perfect sewer was also excavated, indicating that the city has public health facilities, which is conducive to reducing the occurrence of epidemics.

The Rites of Zhou recorded that the royal family of Zhou held regular activities of "fighting the epidemic by asking for rooms" and the officials in charge of "changing the national fire in four seasons to save the epidemic". The word "precaution" commonly used in later generations appeared in Zhouyi. The practice of using drugs to intervene epidemic diseases has also begun to appear. Shan Hai Jing contains seven kinds of drugs, such as smoked grass.

Qin bamboo slips unearthed in Yunmeng, Hubei Province, record the institutions that placed lepers in the Qin Dynasty. However, in the Han Dynasty, there were institutions for accommodating and treating civilians when the plague was prevalent. "Hanshu" records: "In the second year of the Yuan Dynasty (AD 2) … those who appealed to the people for diseases and epidemics gave up their homes to buy medicine." This is the first standardized record in the history of epidemic prevention in China.

During the Qin and Han Dynasties, under the guidance of traditional philosophical thinking, traditional Chinese medicine became mature, and a theoretical and technical system for disease prevention and treatment was formed on the basis of practical experience. Huangdi Neijing, a classic of traditional Chinese medicine, has a complete idea of disease prevention and control, including the pathogenic concept of "five movements and six qi", the epidemic prevention concept of "keeping healthy qi in the interior, and not doing evil" and the prevention and control concept of "treating the disease before it happens". The theory of "five movements and six qi" has constructed a macro-prediction system for the occurrence of epidemic diseases. Today, its essence lies in exploring the internal and external factors that affect human diseases. Whether the external cause leads to the disease depends on the internal cause "healthy qi", that is, the body’s constitution and resistance, so strengthening healthy qi can prevent diseases. People should strengthen prevention before the onset, or treat it early in the early stage, or prevent recurrence after treatment. Other TCM classics, such as Treatise on Febrile Diseases and Shennong Herbal Classic, provide dialectical prescriptions and drug knowledge for preventing and treating diseases. These classical theories have far-reaching influence on later generations.

Under the guidance of effective theory, the society’s understanding of the prevention and treatment of epidemic diseases has been developing continuously.

The first is a deeper understanding of infectivity. For example, it further distinguishes different infectious diseases. Chao Yuanfang of Sui Dynasty said that infectious diseases are caused by "surly qi" and have their special causes. On this basis, Wu Youke, a famous doctor in Ming Dynasty and the author of Treatise on Epidemic Febrile Diseases, summed up the theory of "hostile qi", pointing out that "qi is a thing, and things are qi" and keenly pointed out that the cause of epidemic diseases may be some invisible substance. This is very close to the hypothesis of microbial etiology.

Secondly, progress has been made in the prevention and treatment of epidemics. In terms of prevention, Hua Tuo proposed to use Tu Su wine, Ge Hong proposed to use Laojun Shenming powder, and later someone proposed to take Huoxiang Zhengqi powder. In the Tang and Song Dynasties, fragrant medicine was widely used to prevent diseases, and in the Ming Dynasty, it was popular to burn Atractylodes rhizome to purify the air. In the middle of the Ming Dynasty, smallpox vaccination appeared among the people. After continuous development, it was introduced to the court in the Qing Dynasty to inoculate the royal family, and it was also popularized in many places. Some foreign envoys also came to learn and brought this technology back to Europe. Later, the British medical scientist Jenner invented vaccinia inoculation on this basis, which laid the foundation for the final elimination of smallpox, a severe infectious disease in the world. In terms of treatment, on the basis of typhoid fever theory, the system of febrile diseases and pestilence was formed in Ming and Qing Dynasties, which provided more comprehensive theoretical guidance for clinic.

The third is the continuous improvement of prevention and control measures. The Jin Dynasty has formed institutionalized epidemic prevention measures. The Book of Jin records that "courtiers are sometimes ill, and those who are infected with more than three people are not allowed to enter the palace for a hundred days." In the Song Dynasty, attention was paid to the disposal and cremation of the bodies of the infected dead as soon as possible. In the Qing Dynasty, a "pox shelter" was set up in the court to isolate people infected with smallpox, and it was stipulated that relatives could visit after nine days of isolation.

As can be seen from the above, China has rich theories and experiences in epidemic prevention in ancient times, but there are also obvious bottlenecks.

The first bottleneck is the lack of organized epidemic prevention. This is determined by the limitations of feudal dynasty rule. Some rulers are cruel and heartless. For example, Tuoba GUI, the Daowu Emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty, marched south. When he encountered an epidemic disease, the ministers all asked for withdrawing troops. He even said that this was a "destiny". As long as I conquered the four seas, I didn’t have to worry about having no people. Although some rulers advocate "benevolent government", some epidemic prevention measures adopted are only applied to court officials. In the folk, whenever the plague is prevalent, local governments and social people can only do some temporary work such as taking in and distributing medicines, which is not sustainable. Lu Kun, a scholar in the Ming Dynasty, once called out that every state should allocate special funds for training doctors and purchasing medicinal materials to cope with the epidemic. But in the backward and chaotic feudal era, these appeals could not be realized at all.

Another bottleneck is the lack of protection technology. Although it is recognized that epidemics are contagious, they cannot be fundamentally stopped. This limitation brought ethical problems to ancient epidemic prevention and caused discussion among scholars in Song Dynasty. Cheng Jiong, a Confucian scholar in the Southern Song Dynasty, saw that some family members abandoned their sick relatives, so he said that the epidemic was caused by bad weather and would not be passed on from person to person, and asked people to stay and take care of the sick. Zhu Xi believes that the truth should be made public, so that people can choose to rescue their loved ones on the premise of understanding. Ouyang Shoudao, an educator in the Southern Song Dynasty, further pointed out that "qi is connected with illness, and qi is not connected with illness." However, under the ancient conditions, how to make "out of breath" has always lacked means. Although Wu Youke realized that "the husband’s things can control qi, so can drugs", he also felt that "I don’t know what can control it because of the intangible miscellaneous qi". Restricted by scientific and technological factors, the ancients could not know that there were pathogenic particles of different sizes in the air, and could not invent corresponding isolation protective equipment and effectively eliminate pathogens.

Third, there are great doctors in the great epidemic

Epidemic prevention and treatment are inseparable from doctors. In ancient China, a group of great doctors stood up in the great epidemic, leaving valuable spiritual wealth and coping experience for future generations.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhang Zhongjing’s masterpiece Treatise on Febrile Diseases was written in the plague. At that time, Zhang Zhongjing’s clan originally had more than 200 people, and 2/3 of them died in 10 years, of which 70% died of typhoid fever. Zhang Zhongjing actively saved the epidemic while he was sad and sad, and later wrote Treatise on Febrile Diseases. The book carefully distinguishes the symptom changes of typhoid patients at different stages and puts forward corresponding treatment methods, which has become a model of TCM syndrome differentiation and treatment. What is more inspiring to future generations is that he emphasized that doctors should have the spirit of "helping their relatives’ diseases from the top and saving the poor from the bottom" and carry out the rigorous attitude of "assiduously seeking ancient teachings and learning from all sides" in research medicine, so he was called "medical sage" by the later world.

Sun Simiao, a famous doctor in the Tang Dynasty, wrote The Great Doctor’s Sincerity, which set up the medical ethics standard of traditional Chinese medicine, in which doctors were required to "be merciful and compassionate first, and swear to save the suffering of the spirit", and "not to think twice before treating patients, but to care for their own good and bad, and to protect their lives". He personally practiced and treated more than 600 leprosy patients with chronic infectious diseases who were discriminated by society. He also put forward the thought of prevention and treatment that "there are scabs in heaven and earth, but also the things born in heaven and earth are used to guard against them", especially put forward many ideas of health preservation, whose medical ethics and medical skills are deeply admired by later generations and are called "the king of medicine".

In 1232, the Mongolian army besieged Bianjing, and the nomads stayed there for several months, causing a great epidemic. "The History of Jin" records: "The Bianjing epidemic killed more than 900,000 people in every 50 days." Scholars still have different opinions on what kind of plague was prevalent at that time. At that time, Li Gao, a famous doctor, founded the theory of spleen and stomach from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, emphasizing that by treating internal injuries of spleen and stomach, "healthy qi should be kept in the interior" to resist pathogenic factors, which is especially suitable for malnourished people in war-torn environments. For the acute plague, the "Puji Disinfection Drink" created by Li Gao was very popular, and people carved the prescription on stone tablets to spread it. His student Luo Tianyi also became a famous doctor who was good at saving the epidemic, and treated many officers and men infected with the epidemic in the army of the Yuan Dynasty.

During the Ming and Qing dynasties, there appeared many famous prescriptions to save the epidemic that are still in use, all of which were summarized by famous doctors in actual combat. Such as Wu Youke’s Dayuan Drink, Yinqiao Powder from Ye Tianshi and Wu Jutong, Yu Shiyu’s Qingwen Baidu Drink, Yang Lishan’s Shengjiang Powder and Wang Qingren’s Jiedu Huoxue Decoction. From 1893 to 1894, a serious plague epidemic occurred in South China, which spread from Gaozhou, Guangdong Province to Guangzhou and Hong Kong, and continued for several years thereafter. At the early stage of the epidemic, Luo Rulan, a traditional Chinese medicine in Gaozhou, made an in-depth study. He resolutely went into the epidemic area and repeatedly observed the condition. Finally, he chose Jiedu Huoxue Decoction to add and subtract and adopted special medication, which formed an effective treatment. However, in the second year, the epidemic flared up again, and it was ineffective to reuse the original prescription. Luo Rulan practiced again and found that the epidemic virus was heavier, so the whole prescription doubled the dosage and finally "saved more than 90%". He wrote his successful experience into the book "Plague Compilation", which was widely spread, and doctors everywhere followed suit. Li Peilan, a high-ranking doctor in Guangdong, and Zheng Fenyang in Fujian all reported that the success rate reached 890%.

In the face of all kinds of plagues, generations of great doctors did not shrink back, did not avoid difficulties and dangers, repeatedly studied the treatment in practice, and gained very valuable experience. But at the same time, we should also realize the different functions of prevention and treatment. For example, Luo Rulan, a famous physician in Qing Dynasty, couldn’t stop the plague epidemic even if he explored an effective cure. According to Shenbao, tens of thousands of people died in Guangdong province in 1894 alone, and nearly 200,000 people died in the next decade. In 1894, Hong Kong took quarantine measures to deal with the plague, strictly implemented traffic quarantine, and concentrated isolation on all infected people. In the end, only 2,552 people died in the whole year. At this time, the medical community had just discovered the pathogen of plague, and there was no effective treatment. Hong Kong achieved results mainly through organized epidemic prevention. This shows that in the face of severe infectious diseases, no matter how good the treatment is, it is difficult to promote it in time and in an all-round way, which requires strong epidemic prevention measures to block it. Since modern times, the world has become increasingly interconnected, and epidemic prevention is no longer a matter of a single country or region, but has become a regional or even global matter.

Fourth, China’s experience of paying equal attention to Chinese and Western medicine

After modern western medicine was introduced to China in the late Qing Dynasty, it caused a lot of comparisons and debates about Chinese and Western medicine. However, at the more important level of public health, the Qing government was slow to make systematic changes. From 1910 to 1911, a plague epidemic broke out in the northeast of China, which threatened Beijing and Tianjin. At the same time, the Qing government faced great diplomatic pressure because the northeast was the sphere of influence of Japan and Russia. In this case, Lien Teh Wu, a western doctor, presided over the epidemic prevention in the three northeastern provinces. Through a series of quarantine and epidemic prevention measures, Lien Teh Wu has effectively quelled the epidemic situation. In 1911, the World Plague Research Association was held in Shenyang, which was the first time that a worldwide medical seminar was held in China.

After the founding of the Republic of China, a nationwide health and epidemic prevention mechanism was gradually established, and institutions such as the Central Epidemic Prevention Office, the General Administration of Epidemic Prevention in the three northeastern provinces, the Northwest Epidemic Prevention Office, the Mengsui Epidemic Prevention Office and the Harbour Quarantine Office were successively established, and health management institutions with epidemic prevention functions were established in various provinces and cities. In 1916, 1930 and 1944, the state promulgated the Regulations on the Prevention of Infectious Diseases or the Regulations on the Prevention of Infectious Diseases three times. Due to the slow development of health care, in the vast urban and rural areas, we still rely only on traditional Chinese medicine to prevent and control epidemics. At that time, there was an argument that questioned the scientific nature of Chinese medicine, and even proposed to abandon Chinese medicine.

In fact, Chinese medicine has long absorbed new knowledge and participated in the prevention and treatment of infectious diseases. For example, from 1917 to 1918, when the plague was prevalent in Shanxi and other places, Chinese medicine practitioners Cao Yuansen and Yang Haoru went to Datong to cooperate with western medicine in epidemic prevention; In 1919, there was an epidemic of cholera in Langfang. Chinese medicine practitioners Kong Bohua and Yang Haoru took part in the prevention and treatment. They went deep into the village to treat patients and were welcomed. The two experiences of Chinese medicine in rescuing epidemic diseases were later recorded in the book "Analysis of Eight Kinds of Syndrome Differentiation and Treatment of Infectious Diseases".

In 1924, there was another plague in Shanxi. Three doctors from Shanxi Traditional Chinese Medicine Improvement Research Association "selected Chinese medicine and were able to understand western treatment methods and acupuncture methods" to preside over epidemic prevention. They combined traditional Chinese and western medicine to control the epidemic in time, and afterwards compiled detailed reports on the treatment of traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine respectively. These works prove that the synergy of traditional Chinese and western medicine is obviously more valuable.

The government of the Republic of China later passed the Regulations on Chinese Medicine, which legalized Chinese medicine. In War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression from 1931 to 1945, Chinese medicine was brought into the wartime epidemic prevention system. The Chinese Medicine Ambulance Hospital, mainly established in yiguang, the central country, has actively rescued soldiers and civilians in Nanjing and Chongqing. Due to the interruption of the source of antimalarial drug quinine, a Chinese medicine laboratory was established in the rear area. Through the study of prescriptions, it was confirmed that Changshan, a traditional Chinese medicine, had a good effect on malaria, and the effective component Changshan alkali was extracted and its chemical structure was determined, which attracted the attention of the world pharmaceutical community.

Under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, the border areas have implemented the policy of cooperation between Chinese and Western medicine in health and epidemic prevention. In 1944, Mao Zedong said in a speech at the opening ceremony of Yan ‘an University: "The role of both Chinese medicine and western medicine is to cure diseases. ….. We put forward the slogan: These two kinds of doctors should cooperate. " Chinese herbal medicines are also widely used in the border areas to prevent and control epidemics.

The establishment of new China and the socialist system have opened up a brand-new road for China’s health and epidemic prevention. The Communist Party of China (CPC) faithfully practices the fundamental purpose of serving the people, and comprehensively strengthens its leadership in health and epidemic prevention. In August 1950, the first national health conference in New China was held, and the health work policy of "prevention first" and "uniting Chinese and Western medicine" was established. In 1951, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China issued the "Central Committee’s Instructions on Strengthening Health and Epidemic Prevention and Medical Work", which made overall arrangements for epidemic prevention work throughout the country. For decades, the state has vigorously promoted vaccination, continued to carry out patriotic health campaigns, established a nationwide health and epidemic prevention system, improved laws and regulations on the prevention of infectious diseases, and actively carried out special prevention and treatment of plague, schistosomiasis, malaria, leprosy, tuberculosis and AIDS. Smallpox was basically eliminated in 1961, polio was eliminated in 2000, and the incidence of many infectious diseases fell to the lowest level in history. After entering the 21st century, China reorganized and established the national disease prevention and control system, further strengthened the public health and infectious disease prevention and control work, and successfully dealt with new infectious diseases such as SARS, new avian influenza and New Bunia virus. The public health and preventive medicine undertakings were continuously improved, the national health was well guaranteed, and the average life expectancy increased from 35 years before the founding of New China to 77 years, and the people had more sense of gain, happiness and security. The 70-year history of the epidemic prevention struggle in New China tells us that in a large country with a large population, without the strong leadership of the Party and the unified and efficient institutional advantage of the socialist system,Without the "people-centered" policy line and the rapid development of medical and health undertakings, it is impossible to achieve such great achievements in the field of public health today.

In this process, traditional Chinese medicine has also played a positive role, showing many characteristics. From 1954 to 1955, Japanese encephalitis broke out in Shijiazhuang, and Guo Keming, a Chinese medicine practitioner, successfully treated many patients. After field investigation by experts from the Ministry of Health, the effect of Chinese medicine therapy was affirmed and popularized throughout the country. In 1956, when Japanese encephalitis was prevalent in Beijing, Pu Fuzhou, a famous Chinese medicine practitioner, continued to use Shijiazhuang therapy, but the effect was not good. Later, according to the situation in Beijing, he added dehumidifying drugs and achieved good results. This shows that TCM treatment of epidemic diseases needs syndrome differentiation and treatment.

In 1967, China started the May 23rd project to develop new antimalarial drugs. Artemisinin was found and extracted from Artemisia annua in Tu Youyou, and it was proved that artemisinin had good antimalarial effect after a large-scale and long-term verification through national cooperation. Tu Youyou won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 2015. This shows that there are many pearls and jade in the treasure house of traditional Chinese medicine worth excavating.

When SARS broke out in 2003, faced with this new infectious disease, which was unknown to the world medical community at that time, while implementing effective prevention and control, Chinese medicine vigorously played a therapeutic role and achieved good results in reducing fever time and sequelae, which was affirmed by experts from the World Health Organization. This reflects another advantage of traditional Chinese medicine in treating epidemic diseases. According to the understanding of the relationship between evil and positive in traditional Chinese medicine theory, Chinese medicine can carry out syndrome differentiation and treatment under the condition that the pathogen is unknown, and treat patients as soon as possible.

Obviously, while China continues to vigorously improve the level of medical science and technology and improve the prevention and control mechanism of infectious diseases, giving full play to the role of traditional medicine and strengthening the coordination of Chinese and Western medicine will certainly push forward the epidemic prevention work in the new era.

At present, the people of China are waging a severe struggle against the COVID-19 epidemic. With the strong leadership of the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core, the material foundation guarantee laid since the founding of New China, especially since the reform and opening up, the support of "China Spirit" nurtured by patriotism and reform and innovation, and the tenacious struggle of medical staff who are courageously fighting for sacrifices, the heroic people of China will certainly be able to overcome all kinds of plagues and ghosts and win the final victory in the fight against the epidemic!

　　[car home Original Test Drive] Today Lifan brought us its latest product-lifan 820, which is a product positioned in the medium-sized car market. However, the market response of Lifan in the China brand manufacturer sequence has not been very good, and there has never been a product that can elevate the brand positioning and establish the product image. With the introduction of lifan 820, this situation may be changed. So I was lucky enough to experience this quite sincere product-lifan 820 2.4L flagship version. The reason why it is sincere is that it has a good appearance design and can see the designer’s intentions. Secondly, the configuration is also relatively rich, and the pursuit of the lowest price is not completely put in the first place. The exquisiteness of the interior has improved, and it can be seen that there is a pursuit of product quality and details. So here, please let me introduce this new car in detail and share my feelings after test drive.

● Appearance: Give a lot of surprises.

　　The first time I saw lifan 820, the editor sincerely sighed, "There is finally a handsome guy in Lifan family who is no longer looking dignified and strong.". Aside from Lifan’s previous works, in the mid-level car market, which is more testing the design skills, a model must have something extraordinary if it wants to succeed. In my opinion, in this era of "looking at faces", lifan 820’s appearance has made it a big step forward on the road to success.

　　Lifan 820’s body size is similar to that of its competitors, and the wheelbase of 2775mm can only be said to be a fairly satisfactory data in mid-level cars. However, such parameters are completely sufficient-why do you say that? I will give you a detailed explanation in the lifan 820 interior space experience later.

　　Look at the front of lifan 820’s car first. The hexagonal air intake grille and sharp headlights make people immediately attracted at first sight. Even if Lifan’s LOGO is covered, no one will think that it is a model owned by a China brand manufacturer. Going back to the design, we can see that the LED width indicators placed in the headlight group are arranged in a staggered manner, which echoes the daytime running lights with similar design concepts below it. It seems that the design integrity is very strong.

　　Judging from the current configuration table, all lifan 820 units are equipped with 16-inch aluminum alloy wheels as standard, with Gitone GitiComfort 228 tires. Except for the 1.8L entry-level models, they all have tire pressure monitoring function. However, the editor thinks that if the flagship model is replaced with a larger rim, it will get a better visual effect and be different from other models in appearance.

　　Finally, let’s take a look at the safety configuration. The lifan 820 2.4L Ultimate which I test-drive has six reversing radars in the front 2/ rear 4, and it is also equipped with a reversing image auxiliary system, which is relatively perfect in safety configuration. As for the other internal and external safety configurations of this car, I made a table for your convenience.

　　As can be seen from the safety configuration, except for the entry-level version of 1.8L, the configurations of the four models are quite good, and the highly practical safety configurations such as traction control, ramp assist and front and rear head airbags are not absent. As an intermediate car, lifan 820 didn’t lose at the starting line at least in configuration. For the 1.8L entry version, the configuration is not so complete. Since lifan 820 has not announced the selling price when editing the test drive, according to Lifan’s consistent orientation of high cost performance, the price of the entry-level model should be quite a surprise.

　　After reading the appearance of this car, it is said that it is beautiful, not only in Lifan’s product sequence, but even if it is put into a China brand model of the same level, the appearance design of lifan 820 makes this car very competitive-even if it is further compared with a joint venture brand model of the same price, lifan 820 will not lose much. Generally speaking, lifan 820 is a car with perfect design, and the editor has been deliberately controlling himself to minimize the frequency of words such as "very good, very beautiful and great design" when writing the manuscript. Because everyone has different aesthetic standards. These words of praise are said too much, but they arouse everyone’s disgust. But the editor really thinks that the design of China brand is more and more in line with international standards, and the products are more beautiful than one-well, this is a good thing.

● Interior: The design is meticulous, concise and easy to use.

　　On the subtitle of this paragraph, I used three words in one breath to describe lifan 820’s interior, which means the workmanship of its interior. Simplicity is for design; Easy to use, of course, for the various comfort configurations in the car. Below I will interpret lifan 820’s interior in detail in these three aspects.

　　The 2.4L flagship model that we test-drive uses an all-black interior design, which looks very simple. The designer didn’t use too many bright decorative pieces to decorate the interior of the car-except the steering wheel and handlebar and the position of the air outlet. This is a very pleasing design method, and it is better to lack than to abuse.

　　There is a fly in the ointment in the central control screen. It supports the mirror connection of mobile phones in the operation menu. However, the rules of lifan 820’s operating system require that the multifunctional operating system be registered according to the model and version of the mobile phone. If it is not registered, then this function cannot be used.

　　The design of the center console of this car takes a simple route, and does not use the touch non-physical button design that is fashionable but not easy to master the design style. The design and layout of each key knob are reasonable, and the operation feels good.

● lifan 820 space and experience

　　Kindness-is a word I can think of to describe lifan 820. Soft material packages are used in car doors and central control, as long as the human body often touches them. Moreover, more than one material is used: injection molding, perforated leather and genuine leather. For a China brand car, sincerity is enough.

　　The practical configuration of lifan 820 2.4L flagship model is still relatively high. The front seats have heating function, 6-way electric adjustment of the main driver’s seat and automatic air conditioning are not absent. This car is made of genuine leather, which is comfortable to touch and soft and comfortable to fill. This feeling of comfort reminds me of the seat of nature.

　　In terms of seating space, especially in the back row, the editor thinks that lifan 820 has some room for improvement. Sitting in the back row with the editor’s height of 176cm adopts a normal sitting posture, and the head space is only four fingers, which is about 7 cm. This kind of head space will have a certain impact on passengers over 185cm in height. At this point, some optimization can be considered, but the ride comfort in the back row is still commendable.

　　Its storage space is rich, and many items can be stored on the door side, the central armrest, under the center console and the glove box. Moreover, it is worthy of great praise that the glove box will not fall out directly after being pulled open, but will slowly open with certain damping, and the texture of the whole opening process can be compared with that of the joint venture brand mid-level car. The trunk also has the function of easy open-foot sensing opening, which is very practical when it is inconvenient to open the trunk with both hands.

● Power and chassis performance are relatively mediocre.

power system

　　The lifan 820 2.4L model is equipped with a 6-speed manual transmission, while the 5-speed manual transmission appears on the 1.8L model. This is a kind of vehicle configuration, which always makes people feel a little sorry. If the 1.8L vehicle can be equipped with automatic transmission, the vehicle configuration will be more perfect. The test drive of lifan 820 2.4L Ultimate Edition has sufficient power reserve, which can fully meet the daily needs. When driving on the highway, you don’t have to worry about the situation that the vehicle will be unable to speed up after 90 km/h.

　　As for the suspension, lifan 820 adopts the former McPherson type and the rear multi-link independent suspension. The advantage of this suspension is that it can obtain the advantages of handling or comfort according to different adjustment orientations, which can improve the driving texture.

Dynamic test drive

　　The test drive site was chosen in the mountainous area of Chongqing, which is a big challenge to the power system and chassis suspension of lifan 820. When stepping on the accelerator pedal at the beginning, the shift of the gearbox can feel obvious gear shift. However, after entering the medium-high speed driving, that is, the smoothness of the lifting gear after the third gear becomes smooth. If you don’t feel it deliberately, you will basically not notice the shift of gears.

　　After a period of driving, I found that the favorite speed range of this 2.4L VVT engine (with variable valve timing technology) is above 3000 rpm. Once the speed exceeds 3000 rpm, it will change its previous laziness and become full of vitality. At this time, stepping on the accelerator pedal at the foot is like injecting stimulants into it. Coupled with a well-adjusted suspension, driving has become a little fun. Of course, this is only a little faster. lifan 820’s front McPherson+rear multi-link suspension design has given it some chassis skills.

　　Lifan 820’s braking strength in the middle and later stages is sufficient, but the initial stage of braking is soft, which can’t give people strong confidence. The reason is still subject to the cost, and the refined treatment of suspension and brakes is still lacking.

　　Because of the beautiful appearance of lifan 820, I have higher expectations for it. Even I don’t regard this car as a product of China brand, but measure it with higher requirements and vision. So generally speaking, lifan 820’s dynamic test drive experience is actually good compared with its competitors.

●Article summary

　　In fact, I believe that when many netizens saw the brand Lifan, they were actually "refusing" in their hearts. The editor won’t say much here. Just look at lifan 320 running all over the street and you will know a thing or two. When everyone spoke out to the factory designers, I believe that most netizens still have some feelings of mourning. However, the launch of lifan 820 has at least changed the image of this brand in my mind: lifan 820 has a good appearance and a high value, and the interior workmanship and humanized configuration are also quite good. However, after this test drive, some shortcomings of lifan 820 were found: the performance of lifan 820’s 2.4L engine is not as good as that of high speed, and the middle and low speed range is precisely the most commonly used speed range for daily driving, which needs to be improved; Secondly, the smoothness of gear shifting needs to be improved, especially in the field of intermediate cars, which is an important part of creating a sense of quality. I think the power system has always been the weakness of China brand, but it is all kinds of imperfections that drive everyone forward. Generally speaking, this car has a beautiful appearance and enough power. If a reasonable price is announced on June 8, it may create a miracle of Lifan car sales.

　　Finally, the outlet of China brand must have its own perfect and independent product design. The launch of lifan 820 really made the editor shine. Regardless of the future market performance, we can see the manufacturer’s dedication and efforts to this product from the lifan 820 car, and the performance beyond all previous models of Lifan. This spirit is still very worthy of encouragement and praise. (Text/Figure car home Luo Aoyu)

Beijing News (Reporter Zhang Yu) In recent years, "characteristic tourist towns" built around folk culture have blossomed everywhere in China. Whether it’s focusing on peasant customs or telling stories depending on the local historical background, building a characteristic town has become the key path for many areas to build tourism industry and get rid of poverty and become rich. However, the results of blooming everywhere are not overly optimistic, and some characteristic towns are declining at an unexpected speed.

Donghuang Town, located in Liquan County, Xianyang, has been open for less than a year, and merchants have closed their doors. Now the whole town has become an "empty city". Similar "short-lived" phenomenon still exists in Bailuyuan Folk Culture Village in Lantian County of Xi ‘an and Hexianfang Folk Culture Village in Fuping County of Weinan. When visiting these "short-lived" characteristic towns, the Beijing News reporter found that the direct reasons for the decline of the towns are that the investment is not cautious, the style characteristics are not prominent, and the overall consumption link lacks linkage. However, it is bound to be impracticable to put the construction idea of making quick money and making quick achievements on the construction of characteristic towns.

In less than a year, Donghuang Town in Xianyang, Shaanxi Province became an "empty city"

How long does it take for a characteristic town from birth to death? On this issue, Donghuang Town, located in the southeast of Liquan County, Xianyang City, Shaanxi Province, gave a sad answer of "less than one year". It was grandly opened in October 2015, and in August 2016, merchants closed in batches. The whole town came in a hurry.

Donghuang Town is about 35 kilometers away from Xianyang City and belongs to Dongsheng Village, Liquan County. Due to the speed limit of the road, it takes nearly an hour to drive from Xianyang to the town. Taxi drivers told the Beijing News that people who travel to Liquan will go straight to the famous scenic spot yuanjiacun, where they can eat, live and play. As for Donghuang Town, the local driver in Xianyang has only heard of it on the news and has never been there.

In today’s Donghuang town, all the shops on both sides of each street are locked. The messy tables and chairs and abandoned building tools around the stage at the entrance show that there have been no tourists here for a long time. The same depression also appeared in the dining "castle" across the street from the town and the amusement square next to the village Committee.

In contrast, the poster of Oktoberfest and the banner of "Moral Model Commendation Conference" written in the square of Donghuang Town are a little lively. Wang Pinghan, director of Dongsheng Village, told the reporter that Donghuang Town has been "abandoned" for a long time, and there are no businesses operating here. The posters and conference banners on the square about Oktoberfest were used by Dongsheng Village Committee in organizing activities in the past two months.

"It’s been too long, there are no tourists, and the businesses have left. At present, the whole town is temporarily left, and there is no way to deal with it. Occasionally, villagers will go for a walk inside. Because the venue is relatively large, there are some collective activities in our village. Come here."

Dongsheng Village, where Donghuang Town is located, consists of four natural villages, namely Donghuang Village, Xiaobai Village, Xigao Village and Yanji Village (formerly known as Jicun, with the word "drill" and later renamed Yanji Village). Among them, Yanji Village, the nearest to Donghuang Town, was also the main source of land transfer during the construction of the town at that time.

Is it a special case that people go to the empty Donghuang town in less than a year? On the reporter’s visit, Donghuang Town was not the only one that became an "empty city".

The Bailuyuan Folk Culture Village, located in Lantian County, Xi ‘an, also in Shaanxi Province, is now closed. The reporter saw the words "road construction, renovation and upgrading in the park" on a signboard at the entrance of the scenic spot.

Walking into the interior of the scenic spot, we found that only three businesses are operating normally, namely, a small shop selling drinks, a restaurant specializing in Shaanxi cuisine and a music bar with a modern decoration. Everywhere else, the doors and windows are closed, and the houses and landscapes in the scenic area are also very shabby. According to a person who once worked in the project, Bailuyuan Folk Culture Village opened on May 1, 2016. After the Spring Festival in 2017, the number of tourists dropped sharply, and the excitement lasted only less than one year.

Repeated "snack street" merchants don’t even collect the deposit.

"There were a lot of people when I first opened the business. I saw 20,000 to 30,000 people at the most in a day. In addition to tourists from the county, there were also people from Xianyang and Xi’ an, but the number of people who came later suddenly decreased." When it comes to Donghuang Town, a wang xing villager in Yanji Village is in deep sorrow.

The investor of Donghuang Town Project is Western Rural Modern Agriculture Co., Ltd. In July 2013, the company’s modern agricultural parks were approved as the fifth batch of provincial modern agricultural parks in Shaanxi. Yuan Zhongmin, who once worked in the agricultural park, told the reporter, "At that time, it was proposed to build a model of park+scenic spot+community, and Donghuang Town was a folk tourist scenic spot." For several years, Yuan Zhongmin has been working in the agricultural park, mainly responsible for agricultural production and fruit tree management.

According to him, the whole Donghuang Town project covered an area of more than 100 mu at that time, including the main body of the town, the opposite dining castle and the amusement square next to the village Committee. The surrounding villagers originally used apple tree planting as their main source of income. "Later, I thought about engaging in special tourism to attract tourists like yuanjiacun, and seeing that people are doing so well, everyone wants to do a similar one."

In May 2015, the catering castle took the lead in opening. On October 1st of the same year, Donghuang Town was officially opened, with the slogan of "Guanzhong Grand Collection", focusing on snacks and various folk workshops.

"There are more than 300 merchants in 4 streets of the town, which are basically snack bars, and there are several selling agricultural and sideline foods. Even if we eat a lot of patterns here, can there be more than 300 without repetition? Moreover, tourists from around come to play, and people can eat 8 yuan a bowl of scorpion noodles at their doorstep. Why come here to eat 12 yuan a bowl? "

In Donghuang town, which is now deserted, although the shops have closed, we can also see the former style here from its dilapidated signs. There are almost signs of snacks and catering on both sides of the street, including Shaanxi’s signature foods such as basin mutton, Chinese hamburger and Hele, as well as street-side "tiger balm" snacks such as French fries and squid. Moreover, there are several shops selling Chinese buns in the same street.

Yuan Zhongmin’s family once set up shop in Donghuang town. After listening to my son’s suggestion, I decided to cooperate with the town investors and rent a small storefront of 12 square meters. Mainly selling hand-grabbed cakes and drinks. He told reporters that even during the peak period of passenger flow, the profit of the store is very small.

"There are 5 cakes in hand. When there are many tourists, you can sell 500 yuan a day. Like when there are few people, it is 50 yuan, which is still counted as drinks. Think about it, the number of cakes sold this day is sometimes less than double digits." Yuan Zhongmin remembers that the monthly cost of the store is 2,000 to 3,000 yuan, including noodles, oil, spices and utilities. "This is not the salary of hiring people in 100 yuan every day. No matter how much you earn, you will give it at the end of the month."

In the end, the hand-held cake shop opened with the town closed in July of the following year. However, as stipulated in the contract at that time, the deposit should be returned to the merchants after two years. Yuan Zhongmin, who left less than one year after opening, has not received his own deposit of 40,000 yuan.

Four "White Deer Plains" are close to each other, which leads to aesthetic fatigue.

Because of the novel by writer Chen Zhongshi and the TV series of the same name, "White Deer Plain" has become one of the pronouns of Shaanxi folk customs. Bailuyuan is the largest loess tableland in Xi ‘an, covering an area of more than 260 square kilometers, covering Chang ‘an District, Baqiao District and Lantian County.

"At that time, when the folk culture village was built, the TV series" Bailuyuan "was still being filmed. At that time, only everyone knew that there was a place called Bailuyuan." Kang Jie, who is familiar with the operation of the project, told reporters that Bailuyuan was called Dizhaiyuan in the past, which means the place where Di Qing stationed troops and camped. The name of Bailuyuan comes from an earlier allusion of "Zhou Pingwang moved the capital". "When Mr. Chen Zhongshi’s novel comes out, it will have another communication effect on this place. Now it is called Bailuyuan."

Until now, Kang Jie still feels that the quality of merchants in the once "Bailuyuan Folk Culture Village", whether closed down or still in continuous operation, is the best among all characteristic folk villages in the province.

"The delicacies represented by Shaanxi, such as belt noodles, pulled noodles and braised three delicacies, are all invited by the scenic spots to have the title of China culinary master. From eating this piece, our overall quality is very high."

Kang Jie remembers that the Bailuyuan Folk Culture Village had a total passenger flow of 100,000 in the first three days. The most brilliant time was during the Spring Festival in 2017. Due to the light show and various cultural performances in the scenic spot, tourists were full, and reached 150,000 passengers a day on the 15th day of the first month of Lantian County Social Fire Competition. At that time, no one would have thought that the fifteenth day of the first month was the highest peak of the folk culture village, and then it went downhill endlessly.

"First, the number of tourists decreased, and then the income gap between stores began to become obvious. The shops with good locations and good projects had a very large passenger flow. Some shops with bad locations went to fewer people, and the shopkeepers didn’t have the strength to do it. Finally, it became a vicious circle."

When asked about the reasons, Kang Jie felt that there were too many homogeneous projects in Shaanxi Province, which led to the aesthetic fatigue of tourists. "Like a wind, in the area of Bailuyuan, in addition to our folk village at that time, there are also studios, Bailucang and Baizhangzhang, all of which focus on the Guanzhong culture of Bailuyuan, and the distance between the four houses is no more than 20 kilometers."

According to public reports, in July 2016, Bailuyuan Film and Television City, about 10 kilometers away from Bailuyuan Folk Culture Village, was opened, and Bailucang was officially opened in April 2017, because it is closer to Lantian City and Xi ‘an, and there will be more leisure tourists on weekends. The scenic spot of Bojizhang Village, also located in Lantian County, opened in the second half of 2016, with fewer tourists than when it was first opened, but its operation continued. The four scenic spots are not only close, but also the opening time can be regarded as "front and back feet", with an interval of no more than one year.

In fact, among the four similar scenic spots, Bailuyuan Film and Television City is still hot. On the day of the reporter’s interview, a large parking lot was almost occupied. On the one hand, the tourist facilities in the scenic spot are more diverse and perfect, and on the other hand, the investor Shaanxi Tourism Group Co., Ltd. is rich in funds. According to public reports, Bailuyuan Film and Television City invested more than 600 million, while Bailuyuan Folk Culture Village invested about 350 million. Regarding the investment in the project, Kang Jie said that the actual investment was smaller than this figure, and the specific amount was not disclosed.

A small town engaged in mahjong competition, an unreliable marketing

In 2016, Mr. Hu came to Bailuyuan Folk Culture Village to run a food and beverage store. So far, he is still one of the businesses that "Wei San" is operating here. For him who opened a restaurant in his hometown in Jiangsu and originally wanted to earn some money in the scenic spot, the goods in his hand have become a burden to get rid of now.

"This street, when it was first opened, people couldn’t walk. Later, the scenic spot changed operators, the personnel were streamlined, the management didn’t go up, and some activities didn’t work. Finally, it became like this."

Regarding the statement of changing the operator, Kang Jie said that after the passenger flow in the scenic spot declined, he changed the operator twice, but the effect was not good. "At that time, I felt that what we were doing here was unprofessional, so I found a professional operation team to cooperate, including scenic spot positioning, investment promotion and planning and publicity."

Kang Jie told reporters that the new operators moved in in June 2017 and early 2018 respectively. The former only maintained a cooperative relationship for two months, while the latter was responsible for the operation of the scenic spot until the Spring Festival of 2019, but the number of tourists did not improve significantly during that period. Now, recalling some activities and methods of the cooperative company at that time, Kang Jie thinks that it is "not very reliable".

"The first cooperative company, the first activity that came in was a mahjong competition. The grand prize was a car worth 60,000 yuan. The competition was to pick the first place at each table, then play the second round together, and give a bottle of wine for each win." Kang Jie recalled, "It took at least 100,000 yuan to go in, but there was no drainage effect at all. All the people who came were unemployed people living in villages near the scenic spot. They were close, loved drinking and playing mahjong. In the end, it was really a villager who won the car."

More than 300 merchants originally settled in the scenic spot, after two changes of operators, only less than 100 households were left. Kang Jie remembers that from 2018, the original investor Shaanxi Weishui Cultural Industry Investment Co., Ltd. began to seek equity transfer and stopped operating, and finally finalized the transferee in the first half of 2019.

During the opening of Donghuang Town, Yuan Zhongmin felt that although the passenger flow was large, there was a big reason for continuing to "spend money" on activities. Including opera competitions and singing competitions, in less than a year since its opening, various activities in Donghuang Town have been almost uninterrupted. On the premise that "the omen of death" appeared in the town in July 2016, on the 16th of the same month, Donghuang Town also invested in a large-scale K-song activity, with an investment cost of more than 1 million. "I invited a star and sang three songs, and her appearance fee alone was 230,000."

"Sometimes you can sing for a month. Every day, people come, there are many tourists, and businesses are happy, but the money you spend can be earned back very little, because at that time, in order to attract businesses, it was a rent-free policy and only a deposit was paid."

Yuanjiacun’s success does not allow tourists to leave after eating.

When it comes to characteristic towns, people usually get the impression of buildings with certain customs and a street full of snacks. As the most direct source of income in tourist towns, snacks and catering seem to be the necessities of every scenic spot. It’s just that tourists "eat and wipe their mouths", and it’s obviously not enough to eat and stroll alone.

Not far from the entrance of Bailuyuan Folk Culture Village, the reporter saw a hotel. Throughout the entire scenic area, there is only one place for tourists to stay. Kang Jie told reporters that the only hotel was built nearly a year after the opening of the scenic spot. Tourists arrive at the scenic spot, spend more than an hour shopping, and then return to the county seat and urban area, with no subsequent consumption in accommodation and entertainment.

"In Shaanxi, there are many models of such folk villages and characteristic towns, but there are few successful cases. There are snacks, catering, accommodation and some entertainment facilities, so that tourists can stay, like the star town of yuanjiacun. It has developed for such a long time, and now it has formed this closed loop a little bit." Kang Jie said.

In 2007, Yuanjia Village, located in Yanxia Town, Liquan County, Xianyang, officially began to develop tourism, and it still maintains an annual passenger flow of about 6 million. The day of the reporter’s interview was a Friday. Even if it was not a rest day, the alleys in yuanjiacun were still full, and snacks and catering were particularly popular.

Catering shops in yuanjiacun are still hot. Beijing News reporter Zhang Yu photo

Wang Chuangzhan, director of the village committee in yuanjiacun, felt that from the beginning, yuanjiacun’s own tourism resources were actually lacking. Although there is Zhaoling scenic spot less than 10 kilometers from the village, it is still not enough to attract tourists. "When you go to Shaanxi to see history, most tourists look at the Terracotta Warriors and Horses, and then it may be Ganling. Many people only found out after staying in yuanjiacun that there was a Zhaoling not far away."

From folk tourism to food and beverage to holiday accommodation, the interval between the development of each stage is less than two years, so the popularity of yuanjiacun has been continued in the rapid upgrade. After the direction of vacation was formally determined in 2010, in addition to introducing homestays, boutique inns and hotels, along the extension of vacation, yuanjiacun successively built amusement parks at the entrance of scenic spots and bar streets open at night.

Yuanjiacun has also changed from the earliest street with two rows of houses to a tourist town with an area of nearly 400 mu, including three commercial streets: Ancestral Temple Street, Shuyuan Street and Huimin Street.

"It is definitely unsustainable to start making folk experiences and snacks alone. The consumption is low and the quantity is small. When tourists come and walk around, they can’t keep people. Therefore, we have to continue to develop catering and then go to a homestay where tourists can stay. What can I do if I stay? We opened a bar street and a playground, and completed the whole line, so that yuanjiacun can finally become a good place for a holiday. "

Today, there are more than 3,000 business operators in yuanjiacun, which is three times the number of villagers in yuanjiacun village. These people are also regarded as "new villagers" in yuanjiacun.

Can’t just be regarded as a "money-making business"

In terms of income, part of the income of characteristic towns comes from the rent of settled merchants. However, for unsuccessful towns, even in the booming period when they just started business, the monthly profits of merchants are very small.

"At the hottest time, the monthly income of the scenic spot is 1 million, which is already very good, but when we calculate the cost of the month, the salary of the employees of the scenic spot and the company, plus the water and electricity bills, will almost be close to 1 million." Up to now, Shaanxi Weishui Cultural Industry Investment Co., Ltd. has only one project, Bailuyuan Folk Culture Village. For investors who only rely on shareholders’ capital contribution and merchants’ rent after opening, the cost pressure can be imagined.

Kang Jie summed up the development of folk villages as the failure of "business field" in the mode of characteristic folk villages and characteristic towns. "In the final analysis, I think the mode initiated and invested by enterprises is different from that of tourism in yuanjiacun."

"It is said that the previous operating partners are eager for quick success and instant benefit, and we are not. The entire scenic spot invests a lot of money every month. Shareholders will continue to make money when they see it. If the benefits are not good, they will not dare to put the money in their hands, and they will not see the’ profit-making’. The momentum at the beginning of construction will soon disappear. "

Although it is a working day, yuanjiacun is still full of tourists. Beijing News reporter Zhang Yu photo

The starting point mentioned by Kang Jie is different because the tourism in yuanjiacun is developed and managed by the village committee. Although accepting external investment, the settlement and management of merchants need to be unified by the village Committee. Everyone wants to make the town a "money-making business", but a visionary village Committee may cherish and care more about its hometown.

The three main streets in yuanjiacun, Ancestral Hall Street, Huimin Street and Shuyuan Street, were invested and built by different investors, and they also presented three different theme styles: homestay, snacks and cultural creation. "The first step in attracting investment needs to be connected to the village Committee. We need to see whether the merchants are needed in the development of yuanjiacun as a whole, and whether they are controllable and safe. These conditions are met and the merchants will land again."

In the process of development, there are naturally problems. The outstanding problem is the attitude of the villagers in the village after the external merchants settle in to earn money. At this time, a reasonable, inclusive and prestigious village Committee is very important.

"Some merchants who have settled in are doing very well. The villagers want to make money from this project, but we will resolutely oppose it because we want to protect the rights and interests of these well-done merchants." Wang Chuangzhan said, "But in the final analysis, the development of yuanjiacun is to make the villagers rich. In this case, the village committee will coordinate with the merchants to see if the business can be industrialized, and then let the villagers join in the form of shares and enjoy the benefits every year. At present, this kind of dividend is also part of the villagers’ operation of their own farmhouses. "

Nowadays, Yuan Zhongmin is retired at home, and it is the "tail" of summer vacation. Every day, accompanying his grandson has become the whole of his life. When he mentions Donghuang Town, he can’t help but sigh. Kang Jie has already left his job in Bailuyuan Folk Culture Village and opened a small factory. For the previous experience, he felt that it was a pity and powerless. "Continue to invest money, but also be able to hold on to the time when you don’t make money."

　　BEIJING, Beijing, August 13 (Xinhua) Title: Feeling the Poverty Alleviation through Consumption in the Bitter Land: Brewing a Happy Taste with Buckwheat.

　　Zhongxin. com reporter Wang Zumin

　　When online shopping has gradually become a lifestyle of modern people, a new public welfare model of "consumption poverty alleviation" that everyone can participate in has also emerged — — The National Red Cross System Crowdfunding Poverty Alleviation Competition sponsored by the Red Cross Society of China (hereinafter referred to as the Crowdfunding Poverty Alleviation Competition) advocates the concept of "consumption is charity and purchase is public welfare", adopts the product crowdfunding model, sells characteristic agricultural products through e-commerce platforms, and stimulates the "hematopoietic" mechanism of farmers in poor and vulnerable areas, so that they can get rid of poverty with dignity and become rich through hard work.

　　On the occasion of the second crowdfunding poverty alleviation competition, the reporter from Zhongxin. com went to Tongwei County, Gansu Province with the China Red Cross Foundation, and visited the benefits brought by this new model of "consumption poverty alleviation" to local poor households.

　　Unwilling to be poor, "post-90 s" college students return home to start businesses

　　Longzhong is known as "bitter and barren is the best in the world". Today, Dingxi City in Longzhong still fails to take off the label of "poverty". One district and six counties under its jurisdiction are contiguous national poverty-stricken areas, and Tongwei County is one of them.

　　Tongwei County, located in the hilly and gully region of the Loess Plateau, has an annual precipitation of 350mm and an annual evaporation of more than 1,500 mm.. Barren land, arid climate and once blocked traffic have hindered the pace of getting rid of poverty and becoming rich in this "hometown of calligraphy and painting" with a history of more than 2,100 years. However, this place, which was defined as "unfit for human habitation" by the World Food and Agriculture Organization in the 1990s, gave birth to the "King of Grains" Black Buckwheat, and "Tongwei Black Buckwheat Tea" was the entry of the second crowdfunding poverty alleviation competition.

　　The sponsor of the project is Li Guoliang, the head of Liangxing Agricultural and Sideline Products Farmers’ Professional Cooperative in Tongwei County and the operation director of Tongwei Renjia E-commerce Co., Ltd. Born and raised in a small mountain village in Tongwei, this post-90s generation went to Shandong to study in order to get rid of poverty seven years ago. Now, it is the "bitterness" in his hometown that attracts him to return home to start a business.

　　"When I was a child, I always liked to look at the distant hills and imagine what the outside world would be like. But once out of the mountains, I can never forget the picture of my parents facing the loess and the taste of bitter buckwheat tea in my hometown. " Li Guoliang said.

　　In 2015, after graduating from college, he worked in Lanzhou for one year. Regardless of his family’s opposition, he returned to Tongyu, where "food is scarce like oil, and three meals are difficult to take care of people’s outflow", and he met Chen Qijun, a peer who is also an e-commerce.

　　Two returning college students with the same feelings and ideals hit it off, and joined hands to build the farmers’ professional cooperative of Liangxing agricultural and sideline products in Tongwei County and Tongwei Renjia E-commerce Co., Ltd., and devoted themselves to opening up the market for high-quality black bitter buckwheat, pushing the agricultural and sideline products in their hometown to the whole country, and changing the deep-rooted poverty image left by the "bitter land is the best in the world".

　　As rural children, they know more about the hardships of the villagers. In order to increase the income of poor farmers, they bought tartary buckwheat at a price 30% higher than the market price; In order to help the poor more accurately, and at the same time solve the problems of inconvenient transportation and insufficient manpower of the villagers, they went from village to village for home visits and made home purchases. As long as it is a product that farmers are willing to sell, they will come to the net. "Up to now, there is still a backlog of garlic and other substances in the warehouse." Chen Qijun said with a smile.

　　Today, they have signed contracts with more than 200 households in 8 poverty-stricken villages in 3 townships, and have earned more than one million yuan for local poor households in recent years.

　　Take pains to brew a happy taste with bitter buckwheat.

　　For 32-year-old Chen Manqiang, black bitter buckwheat bears his hope for his son.

　　Chen Manqiang has two children, and his wife is deaf and mentally ill. Two years ago, my two-month-old son was diagnosed with a rare disease, phenylketonuria, and he could no longer go out to work. The expenses of his family were immediately stretched, especially the high cost of his son’s treatment and special diet often made him sleepless.

　　At this time, selling black bitter buckwheat became the main source of income for Chen Manqiang’s family. Chen Manqiang said that before, I didn’t know which crops were easy to sell and could make money. I planted a little bit of everything in the field. The yield of black tartary buckwheat is low and the price can’t go up, so it is rarely planted, and it is basically for personal use or to send some to relatives and friends. "Since the cooperation with Guoliang, the black bitter buckwheat is not worried about the market, and the price is high. The land at home has been planted. This year, 10 acres have been planted, and there are tens of thousands of incomes a year. The special diet of the baby is basically guaranteed."

　　After understanding the special situation of his family, Li Guoliang and Chen Qijun also arranged for him to work in the company, and his time was free, so that he could take care of his family and get paid by piece, which greatly eased his pressure.

　　Sitting in the small courtyard in front of the door, Chen Manqiang looked at Li Guoliang and Chen Qijun with gratitude and said, "I hope their company will get better and better, and I can develop with them and bring my son up smoothly."

　　On the roadside leading to Shigou Village, Longshan Town, there is a rather "magnificent" bungalow, which was just completed by Nanhongbin, a villager from Shigou, last year.

　　Sitting in the spacious and bright living room, 45-year-old Nan Hongbin’s face lit up. He said that since 2016, the cooperative has signed a contract with him, which not only provides high-quality seeds, explains relevant breeding knowledge, but also acquires at a high price. In recent years, the planting scale of tartary buckwheat in his family has been expanding, and the economic conditions of his family have also improved obviously. At the end of 2017, he built a new house near the road, and the family finally moved out of the ravine.

　　Speaking of today’s life, his face is full of heartfelt joy: "Now we just plant and don’t worry about sales." As long as people are diligent, life is getting better and better. "

　　What is even more touching and gratifying is that the northwest man who just got rid of poverty took over the baton of helping the poor. "I am thinking about how to help other people in need."

　　The gratitude and gratitude of the villagers also added motivation to Li Guoliang and Chen Qijun. However, Li Guoliang said that he and the villagers should be more grateful for the crowdfunding platform provided by the Chinese Red Cross and the love and dedication of countless netizens.

　　Li Guoliang told reporters that although Tongwei Black Buckwheat has the high nutrition, pollution-free and additive-free quality of "king of five grains", because Tongwei is remote, the villagers’ concepts are relatively backward and lack of effective marketing methods, which leads to the previous black Buckwheat being unsalable or sold at a very low price. The crowdfunding poverty alleviation competition can be said to have inserted a pair of wings for agricultural products in poor areas to fly freely. As soon as "Tongwei Black Buckwheat Tea" was launched, it attracted the attention of netizens. In less than a week, it successfully reached the goal of crowdfunding in the primary election and became the only buckwheat product selected for the contest in Tongwei.

　　But for Li Guoliang and Chen Qijun, their "feelings" are obviously not just infatuated with their hometown elders and landscapes. Li Guoliang, who studied civil engineering at university, has laid the foundation stone for their ideal in his heart — — Taking the crowdfunding poverty alleviation competition as an opportunity, the brand Tongwei Black Buckwheat Tea was established, and its own factory was opened to expand the production and sales scale of agricultural products, forming an "industrial empire" of Tongwei agricultural products, attracting more outflow talents to return home, and brewing a happy day for the folks with black buckwheat.

　　Crowdfunding for poverty alleviation Every consumer is a public welfare practitioner.

　　Authoritative data show that by the end of 2018, there were still 16.6 million rural poor people in the country; As of the first half of this year, there were 334 deep poverty-stricken counties in China, and these poor people and regions became the key and difficult points in tackling poverty.

　　Liao Ling, Deputy Director of Disaster Relief and Development Department of China Red Cross Foundation, said that the core of poverty alleviation for poor rural households is to increase income, and the key to increase income is sales. The purpose of the crowdfunding poverty alleviation competition sponsored by the Red Cross Society of China is to change "blood transfusion" into "hematopoiesis", encourage farmers in poor and vulnerable areas to fully explore local characteristics, promote agriculture through industry, and train a group of rural poverty alleviation leaders. The Red Cross Society of China, on the other hand, made use of its resource advantages to build a platform for them to export their products and help launch a number of special agricultural products brands.

　　The reporter learned that the first crowdfunding poverty alleviation competition was launched on July 5, 2017. A total of 228 projects from 22 provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions signed up for the competition, and 137 projects entered the preliminary online fundraising. Among them, 50 semi-final projects raised a total of 2.77 million yuan in two weeks. After online voting, 30 events from 14 provinces entered the finals. The contest finally decided on 20 red goods projects, and each project was supported by 100,000 yuan of Bo ‘ai Home Livelihood Fund, and 20 outstanding poverty alleviation leaders were commended.

　　The second crowdfunding poverty alleviation competition was launched on March 20th this year, and 797 projects from 28 provinces and municipalities signed up for the competition. As of 0: 00 on August 13th, more than 400 projects after the primary election have raised 7.64 million yuan, and the last projects in the Western Division are still increasing. At present, the number of participants is nearly 1.33 million.

　　The relevant person in charge of the China Red Cross Society said that the National Red Cross System Crowdfunding Poverty Alleviation Competition gathered the humanitarian forces of the National Red Cross, radiated all kinds of poverty alleviation work sites and Pok Oi Home project sites, and focused on improving the livelihood of the poorest and most vulnerable people, forming a new poverty alleviation model of "Red Cross+poverty alleviation sites+farmers+agricultural products+poverty alleviation leaders+Internet public". This incubation, development and platform-based poverty alleviation model has many added values, such as the spread of agricultural products brands, the cultivation of consumer communities and the development of rural economic cooperative organizations, which embodies the innovation and creativity of the Red Cross in tackling poverty.

　　The Second Crowdfunding Poverty Alleviation Competition was hosted by China Red Cross Society, and undertaken by China Red Cross Foundation and JD.COM Digital Technology. At present, the competition is still in full swing, and a steady stream of orders are also reaching poor villages all over the country through e-commerce platforms.

　　Before leaving Tongwei, the reporter visited Tongwei Renjia E-commerce Co., Ltd. In a small office, several young people are busy in front of the computer, and the open page is the order information constantly updated by the online shopping platform — — Tongwei tartary buckwheat products, which were previously "raised" in the plateau, finally got out of the "boudoir" through the e-commerce platform.

　　Strangers who are across the Qian Shan may not know what kind of stories are hidden in the black bitter buckwheat tea they bought online, but their every order and every penny will be written into a new story of helping the poor. (End)

　　Qatar has broken 50,000 confirmed cases, and the government has lowered the standards for lifting isolation and discharge.

　　The epidemic situation of Covid-19 in Qatar continues to grow, with new confirmed cases and single-day cured cases reaching new highs. At the same time, the number of single-day cured cases exceeded the number of confirmed cases on the same day for the first time since the outbreak. The Qatari Ministry of Public Health announced on the afternoon of May 28th that in the past 24 hours, 5,853 cases of Covid-19 pneumonia were tested, and 1,967 cases were confirmed, with a total of 50,914 confirmed cases.

　　△ Qatar Ministry of Public Health official website data

　　The number of cured patients in Qatar has increased significantly, which is largely related to Qatar’s substantial relaxation of the standards for lifting isolation and discharge. According to the previous standard, all confirmed patients need to be negative after two consecutive PCR swab tests before they can leave the hospital. According to the new standard, all asymptomatic infected people can contact and isolate and return home 14 days after the first swab test is positive. For mild infected people, they can be released from isolation and returned home even if they have been diagnosed for 14 days and have no symptoms for the last five consecutive days. After returning home, these people are also required to be isolated at home for another week. In special circumstances such as people over 60 years old at home, additional tests will be carried out before the isolation. If the test is positive, they need to be isolated in isolation facilities for another 7 days, and the isolation can be directly lifted without any tests after 7 days.

　　Qatar said that their adjustment of patients’ discharge standards was based on the guidelines and experience of Britain, the United States, Germany and other countries. After 10 days of diagnosis, patients were no longer contagious, so Qatar decided to locate the release period in Qatar for 14 days.

　　△ Abu Dhabi COVID-19 Testing Center

　　The relevant departments of the UAE did not further explain why the number of new cases dropped sharply for the first time in a single day, nor did they confirm whether the turning point in the development of the UAE epidemic has appeared. A person familiar with the matter alleged that during the Eid al-Fitr period, SEHA, the former UAE company mainly responsible for operating the testing center in COVID-19, closed its testing center in COVID-19 from May 24th. In different regions, the special COVID-19 testing center had different vacation time, some reopened on May 25th, while others opened on May 27th, which may affect the data of the epidemic detection in UAE, but the heads of relevant departments in UAE did not respond to this.

　　Chai Zhanxiang, assistant president of China Council for the Promotion of International Trade Automobile Industry Branch, said that in 2014, the booths were mainly international multinational companies, and at the same time, the models on display were basically diesel locomotive-driven models. In 2024, there were many faces of independent brands in China. In the past 10 years, from the perspective of auto show, China’s new energy vehicles have completed the leap from scratch, from followers to leaders.

　　Multinational car companies increase cooperation with local enterprises in China.
