The retirement salary is more than 2,000 yuan, which is not enough.

　　He goes out to work again, earning more than 1000 yuan a month.

　　Deduct the living expenses and donate the rest to poor students.

　　……

　　In Zhungeer Banner, Erdos City, Inner Mongolia, there is an old man named Liu Xianliang. Since he retired in 1995, he should have entertained his grandchildren and enjoyed his old age. Every day, he has to go out early and go home to work. However, he did this not for himself, but to save tuition for those "poor dolls" who were hovering on the edge of dropping out of school, so that the dolls could sit in the bright classroom and have a dream of studying.

　　Since the first anonymous student aid in 1990, in the past 25 years, he has saved more than 300,000 yuan to help 46 poor children complete their studies. The story about Liu Xianliang’s old man working as a student has also become a much-told story for everyone in the local people.

　　Worried about being rejected, he ran to a small post office 30 kilometers away to send money anonymously to help his colleagues.

　　Some people say that Liu Xianliang is born with a Lei Feng-style feeling in his bones. As early as 25 years ago, when Liu Xianliang was working in the guest house of Shenhua Zhungeer Banner in Ordos City, a story with his colleague Qiao Youfa opened his way to donate money to study.

　　Joe Youfa’s son became dumb because of drug poisoning. Old Joe sought medical advice everywhere, but the child’s condition never improved. In order to see a doctor, all the money in the family was spent, and Qiao Youfa’s lover didn’t have a job, so the family’s life was stretched. In 1990, when children were old enough to study, they couldn’t go to school. Although old Joe was in a hurry, he was at a loss. The experience of Qiao Youfa’s family impressed Liu Xianliang, so he made up his mind to help the family as much as he could.

　　On New Year’s Day, 1990, Liu Xianliang was rated as an advanced worker because of his outstanding work, and won the prize of 500 yuan. He immediately sent the money to Joe Youfa’s home, but he didn’t expect it to be rejected by Joe Youfa. "At that time, their family was also difficult. All three sons were at school. He was the only one in the family who earned wages. I can’t ask him for this money." Afterwards, Qiao Youfa recalled.

　　But just a few days later, Qiao Youfa suddenly received a remittance from 500 yuan, and he didn’t know the name and address of the remitter. It turned out that Liu Xianliang wanted to help his children go to school, but he was afraid that Old Joe would have a psychological burden, so he thought of ways to help Old Joe’s family tide over the difficulties in secret. In order not to let Lao Qiao find out, Liu Xianliang went to a small post office 30 kilometers away and sent the money to Lao Qiao anonymously.

　　Later, Qiao Youfa sent his son to the special education school in Hohhot, and Liu Xianliang made donations again and again by anonymous remittance until the child graduated. Liu Xianliang and his colleagues have never mentioned anything about his sponsorship of children.

　　In order to thank this anonymous kind-hearted person, Qiao Youfa’s family went to the small post office in the town many times to inquire, but there was no result. It was not until one time that I found out that the person who had been silently supporting and helping them was Liu Xianliang.

　　"The tuition fee was given by Liu Dage, who studied in 600 yuan for four and a half years. Now the child can read, and Liu Dage also entrusted him to open a canteen to support his family." Qiao Youfa said happily with tears in his eyes.

　　Now, old Joe’s son not only has a job, but also has a home and a lovely daughter. During the Chinese New Year, Qiao Xilin, the son of Qiao Youfa, will take his wife to clean the house for Liu Xianliang and prepare things for the Chinese New Year. On New Year’s Day, he will also pay a New Year call to the old couple Liu Xianliang. "This child is smart and affectionate, and he loves me very much. I have helped others a little, and people always miss me. I am satisfied!" Liu Xianliang said.

　　2. Working as a student for more than 20 years, he donated more than 300,000 yuan anonymously for 46 reading dolls.

　　Liu Xianliang, who retired in 1995, has not been idle. Whenever I hear that a student is facing dropping out of school because of his poor family, Liu Xianliang can’t sit still. Even if he works harder, he should try to save money for the dolls to continue their studies.

　　At that time, the retirement salary of more than 2,000 yuan was simply not enough to help those poor children. So, Liu Xianliang began to try to plant watermelons, raise seedlings, graft fruit trees, and plant flowers and grass for factory units … Although he only has a meager income of more than ten dollars a day, he still insists on it, hoping to earn a little and donate a point.

　　In 1999, Liu Xianliang was successfully hired as the greening captain of Guohua Zhundian Power Company. He saved his monthly salary of 1,600 yuan as a special fund to help poor children. Later, he directed the cultivation of flowers and plants in Zhungeer Banner No.2 Middle School and Century Middle School, and all the income from these jobs was used to donate to poor students. "Donation while earning, almost naked donation" has become the normal life of Liu Xianliang’s old man.

　　In addition to working to earn money, Liu Xianliang, an old man, can save money in his life and minimize expenses. Over the years, in order to help those poor children go to school, Liu Xianliang has hardly bought any decent clothes, and even often wears patched shoes to go in the rain.

　　Looking back over the past 20 years, Liu Xianliang helped one poor student after another to enter primary schools, junior high schools, senior high schools and universities. Old Liu Xianliang donated more than 300,000 yuan to help 46 poor children complete their studies, from the deaf-mute children with disabilities to single-parent dolls of divorced families, from Zhungeer Banner in Ordos City to the surrounding Qingshuihe and Tuoketuo counties to other provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities such as Sichuan, Shandong and Ningxia.

　　In the process of subsidizing these children, Liu Xianliang always transfers the tuition fees to the class teacher of the aided students, and he never shows up. Many aided students didn’t know their benefactor was Liu Xianliang until they were sponsored for several years or even graduated from college.

　　Once, Liu Xianliang heard that a girl named Bai Jie was admitted to Changchun University of Posts and Telecommunications, but she was worried because she couldn’t afford the tuition at home. He quietly sent 2000 yuan to the White House to solve the urgent need. The only condition is "secrecy"

　　Zhao Meili, the logistics supervisor of Guohua Electric Power Company, was a student once sponsored by Liu Xianliang. Liu Xianliang, 70, went to Agricultural University for postgraduate study. Knowing from the department that Xiao Zhao’s life was particularly difficult, he decided to subsidize her to study. Every year, the old man will pay the tuition fee of 3,500 yuan to Xiao Zhao’s card on time. This remittance is four years. It was not until graduation that Zhao Meili knew that Liu Xianliang was the benefactor who donated himself to complete his four-year studies.

　　3. Anonymous student aid refused to thank him. He told the aided students to change their fate and learn to be grateful.

　　When asked why he always chooses anonymous aid, Liu Xianliang said: "Most children from poor families have strong self-esteem and are particularly sensitive, so I think anonymous aid is the best way. It can help them without hurting their self-esteem, and also let them learn to be grateful and dedicated. "

　　Today, among the 46 students sponsored by Liu Xianliang, 42 have graduated and 4 are in college. Among the students who have graduated, some have become entrepreneurs, some have taken up leadership positions, some have become military officers, and some have gone abroad to study … "They have really changed their own destiny and the fate of their families." When talking about this, Liu Xianliang is very happy. What makes him feel gratified and proud is that many of these children know how to be grateful. After their lives have changed, they began to help others with practical actions, give back to the society and pass on their love, just like him.

　　Zhao Meili (left) is a college student sponsored by Liu Xianliang. After graduation, she worked in Xuejiawan Town, Zhungeer Banner, and often went to Liu Xianliang to help with housework, chat with the elderly and read newspapers. Photo taken on October 21, 2012 (Source: Xinhuanet)

　　Remit tuition, find a job, introduce someone … Liu Xianliang feels that every aided student is more like his own child and needs care and love. He does his best for the children. When the student got married, he didn’t forget to send a gift. "On weekdays, the children will often call me and ask about the situation of our old couple. They are really like their own children. Isn’t it a happy thing to be able to become attached to so many’ children’ in your lifetime? " As he spoke, the old man Liu Xianliang showed a happy smile on his face.

　　For 25 years, Liu Xianliang has been quietly paying for fame and fortune. He often said that doing this is not to make children thank themselves, but to hope that they can help more people with a grateful heart. A recipient once sent a car to Liu Xianliang, the old man refused: "No, I can’t drive that thing. If you want to send it, send it to the charity department or change it into money to support students with difficulties! " As a result, the student really did what Liu Xianliang thought.

　　A student who once received financial aid wrote in a letter to Liu Xianliang: "Your noble quality has a deep influence on us. Let us learn the rules of being a man. We will take over the baton of your love, repay your care with practical actions and contribute to serving the society."

　　4. Do good because you don’t forget "92 copies". The elderly have more "successors"

　　Seeing that Liu Xianliang, who is over 70 years old, is fighting so hard for children who have never met, some people can’t help but wonder: "Why are you doing this? What are you doing this for? "

　　What the hell is the picture? This reminds Liu Xianliang of an incident 30 years ago. At that time, Liu Xianliang’s salary was not high. He not only managed the daily life of a large family, but also provided three children with schooling. When two of the children went to college one after another, tuition became the biggest problem, and Liu Xianliang could not afford so much money for the children to continue their studies. This makes Liu Xianliang, who has only been in school for five years, anxious and worried. He has suffered from no culture and does not want his children to leave regrets in life. So, he began to run around to borrow money, but a penny stumped the hero, and he encountered it when he hit a wall.

　　"Sometimes I have to go to several homes to borrow one or twenty yuan. I went to 92 households before I borrowed 20,000 yuan." Recalling the process of borrowing money at the beginning, Liu Xianliang could not help but sigh with emotion.

　　"92" is a simple number. But for Liu Xianliang, "92" means "92" kindness.

　　The deeds of the old man Liu Xianliang touched many people and won him wide social recognition. This is the honorary certificate that the old man has obtained in recent years. Photo taken on October 21, 2012 (Source: Xinhuanet)

　　"When I sent my son to school, I decided that there were still many good people in this society. People who have come out of poverty know what it is like for poor dolls to go to school. I will help if I can. " Watching the children walk into the campus with joy, Liu Xianliang secretly told himself that when he has the ability, he must give back to these good people and do something for those children who are facing dropping out of school.

　　"Now, all three sons have become talents, and I can’t forget my roots. I have to be grateful." Liu Xianliang feels that the lifestyle of working as a student makes him feel practical and happy!

　　The motivation that inspires Liu Xianliang to devote his love to the end comes not only from gratitude, but also from good family education when he was young. Liu Xianliang said: "My grandfather and father often say that we should accumulate virtue and do good deeds. Don’t do wicked things, do good things; Be kind-hearted, and your heart will accumulate virtue. I think, for example, if you do something bad today, you can’t sleep for three days; Being happy after doing a good deed is good for your health. The mood is different. " In addition, the family contract of "Ming Dow is courteous, sincere and faithful, and values righteousness and benevolence" has also become a yardstick for Liu Xianliang to behave himself and inspire him to keep moving forward.

　　Love will infect each other and continue to pass on. The infection of Liu Xianliang’s deeds led more people to start doing good deeds, but Liu Xianliang said that he often encountered some "embarrassing" things.

　　When he went to work by bus, he gave him a dollar and a half. The driver said, "Grandpa, you can’t have this money." "Why, my money is fake?" "Grandpa, I have seen you on TV. You are Lei Feng. Don’t put money in my car in the future. I also learn from Lei Feng."

　　When he went to the barber’s to get a haircut, he paid for it. The barber said, "You are Uncle Liu who subsidizes poor students. Let’s learn from you and get a haircut, and we will be free!"

　　To nail shoes, the shoenailing master said, "Lao Liu, learn from Lei Feng, and we also want to do good deeds, can we nail shoes for the workers sweeping the streets for free?" "Yes, yes!" "Then your spikes are free." ……

　　On December 5, 2014, a "Liu Xianliang Volunteer Service Team" named after Liu Xianliang was formally established. In just a few days of recruitment, more than 360 people applied to join this team. "I don’t have a high level of education, but I want to do my best to help people in trouble." "I was moved by uncle Liu Xianliang’s deeds of helping others. I want to learn from him and carry forward the spirit of Lei Feng." ….. At the first meeting of Liu Xianliang Volunteer Service Team of Zhungeer Banner Volunteer Association, the volunteers said in succession.

　　At present, Liu Xianliang’s volunteer service team is active everywhere in Zhungeer Banner, and more and more people join it. They are deeply encouraged by the deeds of the old man Liu Xianliang. They gather because of love and hope to help and care for more people in trouble. Liu Xianliang thinks that everyone has a kind seed in his heart and a good wish to help others. As long as he meets the right climate, water and soil that allows him to take root, he can take root, sprout and even grow. He said: "life is alive, and it has been in a hurry for decades. Some people can make contributions to the country, and some people can create benefits for the society. As an ordinary old party member, although I have never made great achievements, I have a dedication. I am willing to be a volunteer until I am not straight and weak! "

　　Edit comments

　　I didn’t leave myself a penny of savings, but insisted on subsidizing 46 poor students for 25 years; Over the age of ancient times, I get up early and work hard to earn money just to let more children finish their studies … What makes the old man so persistent and obsessed, and makes him invest so much effort in children he has never met? Liu Xianliang, an old man, is a "dreamer" who dreams for his children. He has no grandiloquence. His love is simple and persistent, which warms everyone’s heart and writes an extraordinary life. Nowadays, students who have received financial aid from the elderly have already achieved something, and they have become a new generation of "dream builders" from the former "dream catchers". In today’s story, the assembly number of love has already sounded, seeds of goodness are quietly spreading in every corner, and wonderful things are quietly happening around everyone. We believe that more people will join the ranks of "dreamers" like Liu Xianliang.

　　Recently, the results of the fifth batch of centralized drug procurement organized by the state were officially announced, and 61 drugs were successfully purchased, with an average price reduction of 56%. These drugs with reduced prices include drugs for common diseases and chronic diseases such as hypertension, coronary heart disease and diabetes, as well as drugs for major diseases such as lung cancer, breast cancer and colorectal cancer. In October this year, patients are expected to use this batch of centralized drugs with reduced prices, and the burden of medical treatment will be further reduced.

　　High-value medical consumables also began to be purchased in centralized quantities, and cardiac stents became the first variety to be collected, and the average price dropped from 13,000 yuan to around 700 yuan. At the same time, the medical insurance catalogue is adjusted every year, and some expensive new drugs and life-saving drugs enter the medical insurance through medical insurance negotiations. These measures reduce the burden of drug use by hundreds of billions of yuan for the people every year, and at the same time instigate the reform of "three medical linkage", which greatly enhances the people’s sense of acquisition, happiness and security.

　　Centralized drug collection has reduced expenditure by 150 billion yuan.

　　Uncle Hong, a 76-year-old from Xiamen City, Fujian Province, has been suffering from diabetes for more than 20 years and hypertension at the same time. He started taking Betangping more than 10 years ago. He needs 3 boxes a month, each box costs more than 90 yuan, and it costs 3,300 yuan a year. In August last year, when Uncle Hong went to the hospital to prescribe medicine, he found that the price of medicine was cheap, only 5.42 yuan for a box. "I couldn’t believe it at the time, so cheap. Thanks to the good policies of the country, it has saved money for our diabetic patients. " Uncle Hong said.

　　Baitangping is a commonly used hypoglycemic drug, but its price is high, so diabetic patients need to take it for a long time, and the cost burden is heavy. In January last year, the second batch of drugs organized by the state successfully purchased the drug, which greatly reduced the drug burden of diabetic patients.

　　Like Bai Tangping, there are many drugs that benefit the people through centralized collection, such as gefitinib tablets for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer and oxaliplatin injection for the treatment of colon cancer. Many large varieties of clinical drugs have achieved significant price reductions, such as metformin, budesonide inhalation for bronchial asthma, entecavir tablets for chronic hepatitis B, and ceftazidime injection for anti-infection drugs. The sharp price reduction of these drugs has benefited a large number of patients, especially those with chronic diseases and tumors.

　　Since December 2018, the state organized "4+7" 11 cities to carry out centralized drug procurement, China has organized five batches of centralized drug procurement, and a total of 218 drugs have been successfully purchased. A large number of drugs have reduced their prices through centralized procurement, with an average decline of more than 50%, and the accumulated drug cost savings have exceeded 150 billion yuan. Recently, the fifth batch of centralized drug purchase has set a record in the quantity and amount of drugs purchased, and the number of foreign-funded enterprises selected is also the highest in the national drug purchase.

　　Wu Ming, assistant director of peking university health science center, said that from the current situation, centralized drug purchase with quantity is a breakthrough in the reform of compensation mechanism in public hospitals and the promotion of "three-medical linkage". With the expansion of centralized procurement coverage, the continuous improvement of rules and the coordinated efforts of supporting policies, the effect of purchasing with quantity will become more and more prominent, and the four effects at the beginning of policy design will be gradually realized, namely, drug price reduction and quality assurance, transformation and upgrading of pharmaceutical industry, deepening reform of public hospitals, and reducing burdens and increasing efficiency of medical security.

　　The price of high-value medical consumables has dropped by more than 90%

　　At 1: 37 am on January 1, 2021, 76-year-old Ms. Xiang entered the catheter room of the chest pain center of the First People’s Hospital of Xiangtan City, Hunan Province for 4 hours because of chest pain, and performed emergency coronary angiography, intracoronary thrombolysis and stent implantation, using the national centralized procurement of cardiac stents with a price of 798 yuan, becoming the first patient in Xiangtan City to enjoy the benefits of centralized procurement of cardiac stents.

　　Coronary stent, commonly known as heart stent, is a kind of high-value medical consumables, which is used for interventional therapy of acute coronary heart disease. Because coronary heart disease has become a common disease in China, acute myocardial infarction is more and more frequent. Although the price of cardiac stent is high, the number of clinical use is increasing year by year. On November 5, 2020, the state organized the first batch of high-value medical consumables to be purchased centrally, and the heart stent became the first variety to be collected. After centralized purchasing, 10 products were selected, and the average price dropped from 13,000 yuan to around 700 yuan, with a drop of more than 90%. One drug-coated stent system (rapamycin), which has just been on the market for three years, reported the lowest price of 469 yuan, a decrease of 96%.

　　This collection of cardiac stents is expected to save 11.7 billion yuan. After the collection of cardiac stents, the collection of coronary dilation balloons has been carried out in various places, and the overall cost of cardiac stent implantation has been further reduced. In addition, the medical insurance reimbursement will further reduce the patient’s cost burden.

　　In the future, more high-value medical consumables will be brought into centralized procurement, benefiting more patients. In June this year, the National Medical Insurance Bureau and other eight departments issued the Guiding Opinions on Organizing the Centralized Procurement and Use of High-value Medical Consumables by the State, which clearly pointed out that it is necessary to organize the centralized procurement of high-value medical consumables by the State, explore and improve the centralized procurement policy, and gradually expand the coverage. Recently, the Office of Joint Procurement of High-value Medical Consumables organized by the State issued the Announcement of Centralized Procurement of Artificial Joints (No.1), which carried out centralized procurement for the initial total hip replacement and the initial total knee replacement.

　　The centralized procurement of drugs and high-value medical consumables has greatly reduced the burden of patients’ medical expenses. And the benefits brought by centralized purchasing are not limited to these. The state organizes and coordinates the joint efforts of medical insurance, health, drug supervision and other departments to ensure that the selected price in centralized procurement is implemented and that the people can really use high-quality and high-priced products.

　　Negotiate access and reduce the prices of innovative drugs and patented drugs.

　　"Can you drop another 4 cents?" In 2019, a video of the national medical insurance negotiation scene was on fire. The drug mentioned in the video was Dapagliflozin tablet (Andatang) for treating type 2 diabetes, which was finally reduced from 5.62 yuan in the first quotation to 4.36 yuan.

　　Such a situation can be found everywhere in the national medical insurance negotiations. A large number of big-name new drugs and expensive drugs have been reduced to the lowest price in the world through negotiations, such as 100 mg /10 ml of cindilizumab injection (daboshu), an immune drug for treating tumors. After medical insurance negotiations, the price has dropped from 7838 yuan to 2843 yuan, a drop of more than 60%; The price reduction of imported hepatitis C drugs exceeded 80%, which was the lowest in the world.

　　Since the establishment of the National Medical Insurance Bureau in 2018, China has conducted three medical insurance catalogue access negotiations. In 2018, special negotiations on anticancer drugs were held, and 17 drugs were successfully negotiated, with an average decline of 56.7%, covering more than 10 kinds of cancer treatment drugs such as non-small cell lung cancer, chronic myeloid leukemia, childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia and melanoma; In 2019, a total of 97 drugs were successfully negotiated, of which 70 new drugs were negotiated with an average price drop of 60.7%, and 27 renewed drugs were negotiated with an average price drop of 26.4%. Related drugs involve more than 10 clinical treatment fields such as cancer, rare diseases, hepatitis, diabetes, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases; In 2020, 119 kinds of drugs were successfully negotiated, with an average price reduction of 50.6%. The payment standards for drugs were determined simultaneously, and the patient’s expenses were reduced by nearly 70%.

　　The drugs negotiated by medical insurance are exclusive drugs, often innovative drugs and patented drugs, with high prices. Medical insurance plays a strategic purchasing advantage and talks about reasonable prices in the world’s largest market with 1.36 billion insured people, greatly reducing the burden on patients. According to statistics, compared with before the negotiation, through the dual effects of negotiation and medical insurance reimbursement, in 2020, the cumulative patient expenditure will be reduced by over 80 billion yuan.

　　In order to ensure that patients can buy, use and reimburse the negotiated drugs in the first time, in May this year, the National Medical Insurance Bureau and the Health and Health Commission issued a "dual-channel" policy in time, and the negotiated drugs were guaranteed through the "dual-channel" of designated retail pharmacies and designated medical institutions. At present, the list of two batches of negotiating drug allocation institutions has been published, and 19 kinds and 97 kinds of negotiating drugs in the two batches of lists are allocated in 5,572 and 84,000 designated medical institutions respectively. The National Medical Insurance Bureau has opened a public inquiry channel on the National Medical Insurance Service Platform (APP), and the list of institutions equipped with negotiated drugs will be dynamically updated.

　　Recently, the "2021 National Medical Insurance Drug List Adjustment Work Plan" was published, marking the official start of a new round of national medical insurance drug list adjustment. The negotiation access stage will be in 9-mdash; It will be held in October. At that time, another batch of new drugs will enter the catalogue through negotiation, and the benefits of patients will continue to expand, further reducing the burden on patients.

The picture comes from the Internet.

　　　　　　　On April 24th, Weibo, a man in Lanzhou was beaten by a foreigner for toasting, fermented online. The Weibo said that at about 23: 00 on the 23rd, three men from China toasted foreigners at Changyanbao Night Market in Xi ‘an, which led to a conflict, and foreigners left after beating China men who toasted.

　　　　　　　　Ma Cheng, a staff member of the restaurant, told The Paper (www.thepaper.cn) that the tables of the two sides were adjacent, and there were 5 men and 3 women at the foreigner’s table; Three China men drank more than 20 bottles of beer and went to propose a toast. Since then, there has been a conflict between the two sides. "Maybe foreigners don’t want to be disturbed."

　　　　　　　　According to China Business Daily, one of the three China men is from Lanzhou and the other two are from Xi ‘an. Lanzhou men said that there were few foreigners in Lanzhou, so they bet that they wanted to take a photo of drinking with foreigners and take it back to Lanzhou to show off.

　　　　　　　　The Paper was engaged in the discovery of the scene and saw that there was no obvious trauma on the beaten man. "Hua Shang Bao" reported that the man who was beaten (Lanzhou) asked the reporter to touch his head, and there was a big lump on it.

　　　　　　　　On the afternoon of 24th, He Min ‘an, a policeman from Changyanbao police station, told The Paper that he didn’t receive an alarm on the evening of 23rd and didn’t know about it. The person in charge of the political work section of Yanta Public Security Bureau said that he would investigate and understand the specific situation.

　　　　　　　　However, as of The Paper’s press release, Ma Cheng said that no police had gone to the incident hotel to investigate the incident of foreign men beating China men.

　　　　　　　　Xiao Lijun, a lawyer of Hubei Duoneng Law Firm, said that the behavior of foreigners beating others in the street has violated the Regulations on Administrative Penalties for Public Security. Even if the police did not receive an alarm, they should intervene in the investigation if they were determined to have violated the law after learning the news.

The following is the story of Ma Cheng (restaurant staff), the witness of the whole incident:

　　　　　　　　The two sides are drinking at the entrance of the hotel, and the two tables are adjacent. The foreigner’s table is 5 men and 3 women, dressed in casual clothes, and they all look less than 30 years old. Chinese here are three men, all middle-aged.

　　　　　　　　Both tables ordered barbecue and beer. Three China men drank more than 20 bottles of beer, while only three foreigners drank three bottles of beer.

　　　　　　　　At 10 o’clock in the evening (23rd), five foreign men got up and left somehow. Subsequently, one of the three China men went to the foreigner’s wine table to propose a toast, and after a foreign woman drank the wine, the toasted China man returned to his seat.

　　　　　　　　About 20 minutes later, another China man (from Lanzhou) at the table went to the foreigner’s wine table to propose a toast, while his two companions took pictures with cameras. At this time, the foreign woman who looks like an Asian shook her head and said English mixed with raw Chinese (didn’t catch what she said) without drinking. The China man who toasted then returned to his seat (I don’t know if he said anything).

　　　　　　　　Then, the foreign woman who refused to drink came to the China man’s wine table (sat down) and didn’t hear what he said clearly. Maybe she asked to delete the photo (video). After a few words, the foreign woman suddenly stood up and said, "Are you drunk?"

　　　　　　　　After that, the foreign woman ran to the side to make a phone call, and a few minutes later, the five foreign men who had left earlier returned to the hotel. One of the foreign men walked up to the Lanzhou man who made a toast and said "Hello". The two sides then said something to each other (didn’t catch the specific content). Suddenly, hearing a loud roar from China (Lanzhou) National People’s Congress, the foreign man picked up a beer bottle and smashed it on his head.

　　　　　　　　Chinese, who was beaten, also grabbed a wine bottle to fight back, but he didn’t hit anyone. Four foreign men followed him rushed over. One man pressed the first toast from China (Xi ‘an) to the ground, and several others surrounded the China (Lanzhou) men for beating. Meanwhile, another China (Xi ‘an) man at the wine table ran away with a phone (later he said he would call the police).

　　　　　　　　I quickly came to Indiana. At that time, there were two or three tables of guests beside me, and three or four of them also came to Indiana. At that time, I heard someone shouting "foreigners hit people." The two China men who were beaten were about 1.73 meters. The first foreign man to hit someone was about 1.8 meters, and the other four people were also more than 1.7 meters. Both sides were too strong to pull away.

　　　　　　　　The two China men who were beaten had no obvious trauma. But the man who was besieged said that he had a pimple (lump) on his head.

　　　　　　　　Since the quarrel, the two sides have been entangled for more than ten minutes. Later, the foreigner left, and the three China men involved sat at the scene for more than an hour before leaving.

　　　　　　　　The hotel didn’t call the police. At the time of the incident, no police arrived. Afterwards, no police came to investigate.

　　党的十八大以来，世界经济深度调整，但同时新一轮科技革命和产业变革日新月异，我国正处于结构调整、方式转变的重要阶段，以最高领袖同志为核心的党中央，明确使市场在资源配置中起决定性作用和更好发挥政府作用，在更高起点、更高层次、更高目标上推动新一轮经济体制改革；继做出“经济发展新常态”的重大判断之后，最高领袖总书记进一步明确了供给侧结构性改革这条经济工作主线，推动社会生产力水平实现整体跃升；党的十八届五中全会上，最高领袖总书记首次提出创新、协调、绿色、开放、共享的新发展理念。

　　Under the guidance of the new development concept, with greater efforts to promote reform and opening up, China’s economic structure is undergoing historic changes and has made historic achievements.

　　Historical changes have taken place in the industrial structure. In 2014, the added value of the tertiary industry surpassed that of the secondary industry for the first time. With the acceleration of industrial transformation and consumption upgrading, the service industry is accelerating, and new formats and models such as digital economy are emerging one after another. In the last two years alone, more than 50 new occupations such as integrated circuit technicians and carbon emission managers have been born. In 2020, the tertiary industry will account for 54.5% and become the first engine to stimulate economic growth.

　　The level of agricultural modernization has been continuously improved, the contribution rate of science and technology has exceeded 60%, the mechanization rate has exceeded 80%, and the staple food varieties have been fully covered. The grain has exceeded 1.3 trillion Jin for seven consecutive years. Among industries, high-tech industries have maintained a double-digit high growth, accounting for more than 15%.

　　Historical changes have taken place in the urban-rural structure. Efforts will be made to break the dual structure of urban and rural areas and promote hundreds of millions of farmers to settle in cities. At present, the urbanization rate of permanent residents in China has reached nearly 64%, ranking above the average level in the world. The scale of middle-income groups continues to expand, and the road to common prosperity is getting wider and wider.

　　The import and export structure has undergone historic changes. The export of high value-added and high-tech mechanical and electrical products accounts for more than half, the export of private enterprises accounts for more than half, and the import and export of emerging markets accounts for more than half. In 2020, China, as the only major economy in the world that has achieved positive growth in goods trade, has made important contributions to ensuring the stability of the global industrial chain supply chain and promoting the recovery of the world economy.

　　Coordinating the overall situation of the great rejuvenation strategy of the Chinese nation and the great changes that have never happened in the world in a hundred years, the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader has a profound understanding of the historical trend, grasped the law of the development of the times, nurtured opportunities in the crisis, and made new changes in the changes, and proposed to accelerate the construction of a new development pattern with the domestic macro-cycle as the main body and the domestic and international dual cycles promoting each other. The Fifth Plenary Session of the 19th CPC Central Committee made a comprehensive plan to build a new development pattern, which is not only a major measure to implement the new development concept, but also a major historical task in the new development stage, and it is also a strategic layout and a first move for China to grasp the initiative in future development.

　　Sail in the same boat, ride the wind and waves, and sail in Wan Li. Based on the new development stage, implement the new development concept, build a new development pattern, and promote high-quality development. Under the strong leadership of the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core, hundreds of millions of people in China are United and forge ahead, taking advantage of the situation and pushing China’s economy forward bravely on the road of high-quality development.

　　On the morning of July 17th, the State Council Press Office held a press conference to introduce the national economy in the first half of 2023 and answer questions from reporters.

　　Fu Linghui, spokesperson of the National Bureau of Statistics, said that since the beginning of this year, all regions and departments have adhered to the principle of "staying and not speculating", supported rigid and improved reasonable housing demand, and actively ensured the delivery of buildings, people’s livelihood and stability. In the first quarter, the backlog of housing demand was released in a centralized way, which led to the improvement of the real estate market. In the second quarter, the real estate market gradually returned to normal operation. In the first half of the year, the real estate market generally showed a stable trend. From the main indicators, the real estate market sales, development investment, real estate development enterprises in place funds and other major indicators have improved compared with last year. In the first half of the year, the sales area of commercial housing nationwide decreased by 5.3% year-on-year, and the sales increased by 1.1%, both of which were significantly better than last year. The decline in sales area was significantly narrowed, and sales turned from decline to increase. In the first half of the year, the investment in real estate development decreased by 7.9% year-on-year, and the funds paid by real estate development enterprises decreased by 9.8% this year, which was narrower than last year.

　　Judging from the trend, the real estate market will gradually stabilize with the economic recovery and the effective policies to promote the healthy development of real estate. From the demand side, under the policy of "no speculation in housing", speculative housing demand is gradually suppressed, and rigid and improved reasonable housing demand is released in an orderly manner, which will continue to drive real estate development. From the supply side, the business model of "high leverage, high debt and high turnover" of some real estate enterprises is unsustainable, and the supply of the real estate market is undergoing phased adjustment. With the gradual adjustment in place, the market supply will gradually stabilize. In the medium and long term, China’s real estate market is changing from the high-speed development in the past to the steady development, which is determined by the changes in the development stage of the real estate market and the adjustment of market supply and demand.

　　In the next stage, we should adhere to the orientation of "houses are used for living, not for speculation", accelerate the establishment of a housing system with multi-subject supply, multi-channel guarantee and simultaneous rent and purchase, implement a long-term mechanism for the stable and healthy development of the real estate market, continue to support rigid and improved housing demand, standardize the development of the housing rental market, promote the stable operation of the real estate market, and ensure people’s livelihood needs.

　　At present, the newly started area of real estate is still declining, the completed area is increasing, and the overall construction area is declining. In the future, real estate investment will be at a low level. However, with the gradual adjustment of the real estate market, real estate investment will gradually return to a reasonable level.

The successive broadcast of Story of Yanxi Palace and Ruyi’s Royal Love in the Palace, the palace dramas, has caused the explosion of styles and discussions. Besides the ups and downs, the exciting plot of the palace fight and the outstanding acting skills of the actors, people also pay attention to the aesthetic return of traditional culture and art.

It is worth mentioning that the decorations used by the concubines in the play, such as an embroidery, a flower, a hair pin and a pair of earrings, are all exquisitely made. We sigh and envy the dignity and exquisiteness of the royal life in the past, and this attention seems to have been broken and separated in the inheritance.

Fortunately, now, someone is already taking action to awaken our lost beauty. Zhong Hua, the designer of art jewelry in China and the chief design consultant of cultural jewelry in the Forbidden City, has combined the 5,000-year history and culture of China, and also expressed the unconstrained contemporary design concept.

In her interpretation of a recently completed hairpin work, she said, "I try to make history fashionable and classics young." The beauty she tells with jewelry lies not in the jewelry itself, but in the story behind the ornaments, which comes from the natural touch of life.

I switched to jewelry design because my heart was ignited.

Zhong Hua, who just came to study in Britain, got her wish and entered the fashion design major of London Institute of Fashion, but after two months of study, she was disappointed by repeated study without any challenge. When she was confused, she was shocked by various art and jewelry exhibitions in London. Wood, paper, plastic and other materials, the line structure in the building, can be applied to jewelry design.

Zhong Hua’s heart was instantly ignited, and she found the direction she wanted to develop, so she transferred to the Central Saint Martin College to study the metal technology of contemporary jewelry. Next, every day here is particularly interesting for her. Teachers who are over 60 years old, all kinds of novel tools, and everyone’s love and dedication to jewelry design.

"As a designer who has a clear artistic pursuit of jewelry design, he needs persistence and simplicity." After two years of study, Zhong Hua has mastered solid manual skills and the application of new materials.

Everything fascinated her, and what influenced her most was the way of thinking of design. She is very concerned about the intention behind the ornaments and the proper emotional expression. "Jewelry is something with the designer’s life, and only hand-made can show my inner world most directly and comprehensively."

Life and nature are the best stories.

After returning to China, Zhong Hua started her career with handmade high-grade jewelry customization. Customers have developed from their own relatives and friends to celebrity star circles, with Zhang Ziyi, Li Bingbing, Lu Han, LEE JOON GI, etc.

Because she grew up in the military compound and the unrestrained growth environment, she especially loved life and was close to nature. Therefore, in her creation, life and nature have become an eternal topic to express love stories.

A girl who works as a chef in a French restaurant, Zhong Hua designed a ring for her, with anise, a common seasoning in nature, as the design subject, in a flower-like shape, and a girl with a magic wand was also outlined on it.

A father prepared a gift for his married daughter. Zhong Hua designed a crown, which was organized into a regular love shape with the natural and smart posture of spring water splashing, representing love and responsibility, as well as the best wishes of eternal knot.

A couple who are parents for the first time want to make a necklace for their children. Zhong Hua expresses endless blessings to the children with a long life lock branded with parents’ fingerprints, and it is also a warm ornament about love.

Every piece of jewelry made by Zhong Hua for her clients has a story, and she knows herself from it by getting to know her clients.

It is not a simple re-enactment, but a serious inheritance.

A piece of haute couture jewelry with unique personality has quickly attracted the attention of the outside world. Especially in the internationally acclaimed works such as "Running the Dragon and Running the Horse", we have seen the essence of China’s traditional culture and the mutual blending with western design concepts.

The rising popularity has enabled her to go from haute couture to commercial creation, and thus she has forged an indissoluble bond with the Palace Museum. From facing individuals to facing the public, she started this challenge with the determination of "making the royal family everyone".

Zhong Hua believes that many Chinese people have not really understood the importance of a piece of jewelry as a heritage. So, she spent a year getting to know the Forbidden City, looking for the emotion behind the cultural relics, and carefully polishing every piece of jewelry. She hoped that through a small piece of jewelry, the public could understand the profoundness of Chinese culture.

In her view, this is not a simple re-enactment, but a serious inheritance.

With the promotion of public aesthetics, including the awakening and practice of China’s original design led by designers, it will save the Chinese traditional culture and craft that will be lost. Enamel, Diancui, Qi Diao … … Zhong Hua is looking for ways to interpret these traditional crafts, and uses the precipitation of different cultures in her bones to convey beautiful feelings.

She believes that jewelry is not a symbol of wealth, and the public can enjoy and own it. And integrating art into life is a luxury lifestyle that she thinks meets the needs of contemporary people.

When everyone is willing to slow down in a hurry, beauty and design will gradually penetrate into public life. This "luxury" has nothing to do with money, it is a natural spiritual sustenance and a higher pursuit of life details.

"Beauty" lies in the heart, and "utensil" can be seen in the form. Zhong Hua believes that in the future, jewelry can inherit more emotions and memories, and the beauty of life can be better understood and expressed.

　　Recently, Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee held a meeting to study and deploy flood control and relief work. The Supreme Leader presided over the meeting and delivered an important speech.

　　The meeting stressed that at present, China is in the critical period of "seven downs and eight highs" flood control, and the pressure of flood control peaks, dykes and waterlogging drainage in the Yangtze River and other basins is not reduced. The Yellow River, Huaihe River, Haihe River and Songliao River basins may have serious floods, and the superimposed typhoon will enter an active period, making the flood control situation more severe and complicated. All relevant regions, departments and units should always tighten the string of flood control and flood relief, firmly grasp the initiative in work, and resolutely win the tough battle of flood control and flood relief.

　　The General Secretary and the CPC Central Committee have always attached great importance to disaster prevention, mitigation and relief work. What are the core principles of this work? What are the important aspects to pay attention to? Study together ↓ ↓

The way of brotherhood is to unite as one.

　　Voice of China reporter:On June 2, China and Argentina signed a cooperation plan on jointly promoting the construction of the Belt and Road Initiative. In February last year, China and Arab countries signed a memorandum of understanding to jointly build the "Belt and Road". What cooperation has China and Arab countries carried out over the past year or so? What specific changes will the signing of the "Belt and Road" cooperation plan between China and Arab countries bring to the pragmatic cooperation between the two sides?

　　Zou Xiaoli:At the beginning of last year, China and Argentina signed a memorandum of understanding on the cooperation of building the Belt and Road, which was a new important milestone in the history of bilateral relations. Over the past year or so, the two sides have made important and positive progress in policy communication, facility connectivity, smooth trade, financial intermediation and popular support. The two heads of state met face to face twice to jointly draw a blueprint for China-Arab relations and pragmatic cooperation; China enterprises participate more extensively and deeply in Argentina’s transportation, energy, electricity and people’s livelihood projects, expand investment in mining industry in Argentina, and expand cooperation in scientific and technological innovation; Last year, the bilateral trade volume between China and Arab countries increased by 20.1% year-on-year, reaching $21.37 billion, breaking through the $20 billion mark for the first time; The service of RMB clearing bank in Argentina was officially launched, and the scale of RMB use was further expanded. Since May this year, all Argentine imports from China have been settled in RMB; Last year, China and Arab countries took the opportunity of celebrating the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations to hold a series of activities for the Year of Friendly Cooperation, which enhanced the mutual understanding and friendship between the two peoples and laid a solid social and humanistic foundation for deepening bilateral relations and promoting the "Belt and Road" cooperation.

　　Zou Xiaoli:A few days ago, the China Chamber of Commerce (Argentina) released "The way of brotherhood is unity and unity — — China-Argentina Cooperation Achievement Report (2023) vividly shows the glorious course of "One Belt, One Road" cooperation between Chinese-funded institutions and enterprises in Argentina, together with local partners, with illustrated forms and a large number of facts and data. It is delightful and exciting to read!

Report on the Achievements of Argentina’s Cooperation in Building the Belt and Road (2023) (Source: Guan Wei of the Latin American Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs "Focus on Latin America")

　　Zou Xiaoli:On June 2nd, this year, China and Argentina took another crucial step in building the Belt and Road Initiative. The two governments signed a cooperation plan on jointly promoting the Belt and Road Initiative. This document further enriched the cooperation areas and key projects of the Belt and Road Initiative between the two countries, clarified the ways and means of cooperation, promoted the docking of development strategies, greatly boosted the confidence of the economic and social circles of the two countries in strengthening exchanges and cooperation and seeking common development, and built the Belt and Road Initiative with high quality. It is worth mentioning that this year marks the tenth anniversary of the "Belt and Road Initiative". Faced with a series of challenges, such as instability and increasing uncertainty in the international situation, globalization encountering counter-current, unilateralism, protectionism and hegemonism rampant, China and Argentina, as members of the G-20 and developing countries, signed a cooperation plan to promote the "Belt and Road Initiative", which is conducive to deepening South-South cooperation and China-Latin America cooperation and promoting the building of a community of human destiny.

China and Arab countries signed a cooperation plan to promote the construction of the "Belt and Road"

Widely concerned by Latin America.

　　Voice of China reporter:From the signing of the memorandum of understanding to the signing of the cooperation plan, Argentina is at the forefront of Latin American countries in building the "Belt and Road". How will this exemplary role promote China’s "One Belt, One Road" cooperation with countries in Latin America and the Caribbean?

　　Zou Xiaoli:Argentina is a big country in Latin America and the farthest place from China. At the beginning of last year, China and Argentina signed a memorandum of understanding to jointly build the "Belt and Road" cooperation, marking the successful extension of the "Belt and Road" to the southernmost tip of the world, and Argentina became the first Latin American power to formally join the "Belt and Road" cooperation family. After more than a year, the Chinese and Argentine governments have recently signed a cooperation plan to promote the construction of the Belt and Road, which reflects the vitality and broad prospects of the "Belt and Road" cooperation and has once again attracted widespread attention from the international community, especially Latin America. It is believed that with the full implementation of the "One Belt, One Road" cooperation plan between China and Argentina, Argentina will play an increasingly important role in promoting regional infrastructure connectivity, smooth trade, industrial integration and integration, benefiting more people in Latin America.

　　Zou Xiaoli:Last year, Argentina held the rotating presidency of the Latin American Community and worked closely with China to enrich the activities of the China-Latin America Forum and expand the areas of China-Latin America cooperation. Recently, when talking about the "One Belt, One Road" initiative, the Speaker of the Argentine House of Representatives Moreau said with deep feelings that the "One Belt, One Road" initiative proposed by China is very important for promoting Argentina’s trade and economic development. When China provides assistance to Argentina, it does not attach political conditions. It should extend this cooperation concept to multilateral international financial institutions including the International Monetary Fund, so that more Latin American countries can benefit from it. This shows that the principle of mutual cooperation, co-construction and sharing of the Belt and Road Initiative has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, which is conducive to further enhancing the vitality, creativity and attractiveness of the Belt and Road cooperation, promoting the cooperation between China and Latin America to achieve more fruitful results, and raising the China-Latin America relationship of equality, mutual benefit, innovation, openness and benefiting the people in the new era to a new level.

Gisai hydropower station

— — The largest cooperation project between China and Arab countries

　　Voice of China reporter:In recent years, China and Argentina have achieved fruitful cooperation in many fields, such as energy and infrastructure. Many projects have benefited the people of both sides, and some key projects are progressing steadily, such as the Gisai Hydropower Project in Argentina, which was built by Chinese enterprises. What is the current progress of this project? What changes will the project bring to the local area after it is completed for power generation?

　　Gisai Hydropower Project in Santa Cruz Province, Argentina under construction (data map)

　　Zou Xiaoli:Gisai Hydropower Project in Santa Cruz Province, Argentina is the largest cooperation project between China and Argentina, and also the largest hydropower project under construction in South America. Together with local partners, China Nengjian Gezhouba Group, which undertook the project, overcame severe challenges and many difficulties such as complex geological and climatic conditions and COVID-19 epidemic. As of May this year, 51.22% of the total progress of the project has been completed, which meets the requirements of the implementation plan. The first turbine was delivered to the construction site at the end of last year. According to the latest master schedule, the two hydropower stations of the project will be completed in February 2025 and August 2028 respectively.

　　On December 7, 2022, the first axial-flow paddle turbine of JC Power Station of Argentine Gisai Hydropower Project, which was jointly built by China enterprises and local enterprises, arrived in Argentina from China (Source: WeChat WeChat official account, Embassy of China in Argentina).

　　Zou Xiaoli:At present, there are more than 3,000 employees working for the project, and the proportion of local employees is over 95%. At the peak of the project construction, there are more than 5,000 direct employees, and as many as 15,000 indirect jobs have been created. The construction of the project has a positive impact on the economy of the local Santa Cruz province, and promoted the rapid development of steel, fuel, catering, passenger transport, logistics, medical care, security and other industries. After the completion of the project, the total installed capacity of Argentina’s electric power will be increased by about 6.5%, and the fuel import foreign exchange will be saved by 1.1 billion US dollars every year.

Businessmen and entrepreneurs applying for visas to China

"Squeezing" the Embassy Reservation System

　　Voice of China reporter:Since the beginning of this year, China’s economic operation has maintained a good trend, and its market potential has been continuously released, which has been favored by global investors. What are the views of Argentine local circles on China’s economic development prospects? What is the impact of China’s economic performance on Argentina?

　　Zou Xiaoli:China has been Argentina’s second largest trading partner and largest export market for agricultural products for many years. 80% of Argentina’s beef, 88% of soybeans and 20% of aquatic products are sold to China market, and the demand exceeds the supply. At present, many Argentine beef enterprises are expanding their production capacity, mainly aiming at the China market. At the same time, China has continuously opened its market to Albania, and soybean meal, honey, cherries, blueberries, grapes, chilled beef, mutton, horses and pork have all been exported to China. China’s super-large-scale market attracts more and more Albanian enterprises to actively participate in China Canton Fair, China International Import Expo(CIIE), Service Trade Fair, Xiya International Food Exhibition, etc., and local businessmen and entrepreneurs who apply for visas to China "burst" the reservation system of our embassy.

　　On March 30, 2023, the Argentina Special Promotion Conference of the 6th China International Import Expo was held in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Zou Xiaoli, Ambassador of China to Argentina, gave a keynote speech (Source: website of China Embassy in Argentina).

　　Zou Xiaoli:In March this year, the Argentina Special Promotion Conference of the 6th China International Import Expo was held in Buenos Aires, and more than 200 trade and investment promotion agencies, key industry associations and business leaders actively participated. A few days ago, Beijing — The Argentina Economic and Trade Cooperation Promotion Fair was packed, with more than 100 people than the organizers expected. Enterprises of the two countries signed a number of cooperation agreements, involving agriculture, scientific and technological innovation, information technology and culture. It is worth mentioning that Argentina has begun to pay attention to the development of China’s tourism, sports, culture and art markets, which will promote the rapid growth of service trade between the two countries, create a large number of new jobs for Argentina, increase its foreign exchange sources and reserves, and realize diversified, green and sustainable economic development.

Choose China for its

As the "Samsung" world champion team, it is no accident to make its debut abroad.

　　Voice of China reporter:Since the establishment of diplomatic ties more than 50 years ago, cooperation in sports and other fields has also brought the people of the two countries closer. Next week, Argentina’s national men’s football team will play a friendly match in Beijing. These days, everyone pays special attention to this game. Why did the Argentine national men’s football team choose China for its debut abroad? Can you share with us your feelings and expectations for China-Arab cooperation in the field of football?

　　Zou Xiaoli:What China fans are most concerned about and looking forward to now is that the Argentine national men’s football team will play against the Australian national men’s football team at the Beijing Workers Stadium on June 15th, which will be the first time for the Argentine men’s football team to compete abroad after winning the championship in FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 in 2022. I am reminded of a sentence by the famous Argentine poet Borges: the meeting of two souls is not accidental. It’s no accident that Argentines chose China for their debut as the "Samsung" world champion team. Broadly speaking, this is due to the high-level development of China-Arab relations in recent years, especially the joint efforts of the two countries to fight the COVID-19 epidemic, jointly promote the "Belt and Road" cooperation, celebrate the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations and hold the China-Arab friendly cooperation year. The traditional friendship between the two peoples has been continuously sublimated, vividly explaining the true meaning of "knowing each other is not far away, and heaven remains our neighbourhood". From the specific field of football, both the China government and the people pay more and more attention to youth football training, which provides an important opportunity for China and to deepen football exchanges and cooperation. According to incomplete statistics, before the COVID-19 epidemic, more than 100 young soccer players from China received training in Argentina, and dozens of soccer coaches from Argentina worked in schools all over China, which was very popular. It is estimated that China needs to introduce about 2,000 Argentine football coaches to help us train young football players, which has great attraction to Argentina.

　　On April 4, 2023, Zou Xiaoli, Ambassador of China to Argentina, was invited to visit the headquarters of the Argentine Football Association and was warmly received by tapia, President of the Football Association (Source: website of the China Embassy in Argentina).

　　Zou Xiaoli:I once talked with Mr. tapia, President of Argentine Football Association. He visited China many times, liked China culture very much and admired China’s great achievements. Recently, my colleagues in the Embassy and I were invited to visit the headquarters of the Argentine Football Association and the training base of the Argentine national football team. President tapia enthusiastically took out the World Cup and let us take photos. He hoped that the Argentine national men’s football team’s visit to China would bring joy to the fans in China, further enhance mutual understanding and affection between the two peoples, and promote cooperation in youth football training, co-hosting high-level competitions and sports and cultural exchanges. I also sincerely hope and believe that the Argentine national men’s football team’s competition in China will be a journey of friendship, joy and cooperation.
