2019 ingenious keywords: the college entrance examination admission rate is over 80%, and the physical status is improved.

  For a long time, the college entrance examination has been an important topic of concern to all students and parents. Nowadays, the college entrance examination enrollment in 2019 has entered the final stage of volunteering. So, what is the development trend of the college entrance examination in 2019?

  Recently, China Education Online released the "Report on 2019" (hereinafter referred to as the "Report"), showing that the number of applicants for the college entrance examination in 2019 exceeded 10 million, and the actual admission rate of the national college entrance examination in 2018 reached 81.13%, with some areas exceeding 90%. At the same time, with the deepening of the reform process of college entrance examination, the Ministry of Education has standardized special types of enrollment, tightened the policy of independent enrollment, and some colleges and universities plan to reduce their enrollment by over 60%.

  The number of applicants for the college entrance examination exceeded 10 million, and the actual admission rate exceeded 80%

  In 2019, the number of applicants for the college entrance examination returned to the order of 10 million again after 10 years.

  According to the latest data released by the Ministry of Education, the number of applicants for the national college entrance examination in 2019 was 10.31 million, once again exceeding 10 million, setting a record high since 2010. However, since 2007, the actual admission rate of college entrance examination has been on the rise.

  According to the Report, the actual admission rate of college entrance examination exceeded 80% in 2017, which also means that most college entrance examination students have the opportunity to receive higher education. In 2018, there were 7,909,900 college students enrolled nationwide, an increase of 3.87% over the previous year, and the actual admission rate of college entrance examination reached 81.13%. Although the actual admission rate of college entrance examination in some areas has declined slightly, it still remains at a high level. In addition, the actual admission rate of college entrance examination in some areas exceeds 90%, such as Hebei and Jiangsu.

  It is worth noting that in recent years, the unfinished enrollment plan in some areas is more prominent. According to the "Report", taking Jiangsu and Hebei as examples, the number of unfinished enrollment plans in Jiangsu reached 42,000 in 2016, and it was controlled at around 20,000 in 2017 and 2018; The number of people who did not complete the enrollment plan in Hebei reached 28,000 in 2014, but it has dropped back to 0.75 million in 2017.

  With the continuous expansion of the scale of higher education, higher education will enter the stage of popularization. According to the Report, China has built the largest higher education system in the world, and the gross enrollment rate of higher education has increased rapidly, which is about to enter the stage of popularization. In 1978, the gross enrollment rate of higher education was only 1.55%, and in 2002, it increased to 15% in just 24 years, from the elite stage to the popular stage.

  The policy of special enrollment in colleges and universities is tightening

  With the deepening of the reform process of college entrance examination, the Ministry of Education has made efforts to promote fair and scientific talent selection, and standardized special types of enrollment.

  Many people call 2019 the "strictest" year in the history of independent enrollment. The Ministry of Education has made 10 strict requirements for independent enrollment, one of which is fairness and justice, and strictly controlling the enrollment scale.

  According to the Report, in previous years’ independent enrollment, the actual enrollment of most colleges and universities was lower than the enrollment plan. In 2018, among the 79 self-enrollment colleges and universities that publicized the enrollment information, 76 colleges and universities did not complete the self-enrollment plan, with a total vacancy of more than 5,200. Through the data sampling of 70 colleges and universities that carry out independent enrollment, only two colleges and universities have the same plans as last year, and the rest have reduced their plans. Among them, the independent enrollment plans of 13 schools have been reduced by 60%, and Shanghai University has been reduced by 80%.

  In addition, in 2019, the requirements for independent enrollment in colleges and universities generally increased. According to the Report, the minimum requirements for independent enrollment in Tsinghua and Peking University in 2019 have been significantly improved, and the scope of target students has been narrowed, and the maximum preferential margin has also dropped from 60 points in 2018 to 20 points. Physical fitness test has become a "standard" for independent enrollment assessment in colleges and universities. Twenty-six colleges and universities clearly stipulate in their independent enrollment brochures that failing to participate in the physical examination or failing to pass the physical examination results will affect the candidates’ independent enrollment qualifications.

  With the deepening of the college entrance examination reform, the pilot work of comprehensive evaluation reform is gradually launched, the scope is constantly expanding, and the number of students enrolled is also rising. According to incomplete statistics in the Report, in 2019, a total of 99 colleges and universities across the country conducted comprehensive evaluation enrollment pilots, among which 14 colleges and universities conducted comprehensive evaluation enrollment for multiple regions, and the remaining 85 colleges and universities conducted comprehensive evaluation enrollment in their provinces.

  It is worth noting that comprehensive evaluation has become the main enrollment method of individual colleges and universities. According to statistics, in 2018, among the nine ministries and commissions and universities from other provinces that implemented the "Trinity" comprehensive evaluation of enrollment in Zhejiang, the total number of "Trinity" enrollment plans of eight universities except Zhejiang University was 1,014, and the total number of unified enrollment plans of these eight universities was only 78.

  Nowadays, the threshold for sending students is further improved. The "Report" pointed out that since 2014, the number of students who have been admitted to the country has started to slim down significantly, and it has been declining for five consecutive years; The number of students who walked in decreased from 6,759 in 2013 to 2,091 in 2018 (excluding heroic children and retired athletes). The number of colleges and universities that recruit students who are recommended to walk has also decreased to 78 in 2018.

  The reform of college entrance examination has been promoted to the central and western regions, and its physical status has risen.

  In April 2019, the third batch of college entrance examination reform plans for eight provinces and cities were finally announced. The scope of this pilot project has been further expanded to the central and western regions. According to the "Report", from the perspective of the number of applicants, the total number of candidates in the six provinces and cities started before, except Shandong and Zhejiang, is relatively small. The provinces and cities started this time are basically big provinces for college entrance examination, and the number of candidates is huge.

  It is understood that the third batch of college entrance examination reform programs in eight provinces and cities is different from the previous six provinces and cities. The subject selection mode has changed from "3+3" to "3+1+2", and physics and history are the first choice subjects, so one must be selected; When enrolling students, plan, underline, file and enroll separately according to physical and historical categories. This move emphasizes the basic position of physics and history, and is expected to solve the problem of the decline in the number of physics candidates during the implementation of the college entrance examination reform plan in other provinces.

  In this regard, the "Report" analysis pointed out that students who choose physics subjects will have more choices and guide more students to choose physics.

  According to the Report, the six provinces and cities that initiated the reform of college entrance examination have announced the requirements for the selected subjects of college enrollment majors in 2020. Among them, the number of majors requiring required physics has increased significantly. Take the requirements of major selection in 2020 in 40 local undergraduate colleges in Shanghai as an example. A total of 558 majors involve the requirements of taking physics exams, among which 380 majors must choose physics, while only 65 majors must choose physics in 2017.

  Based on the basic position of physics in scientific research, high-level universities often pay more attention to physics. By analyzing the top 10 universities in China, namely, the Nine Schools Alliance (C9) and the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, the Report found that 7 universities required physics majors to account for more than 50%. Among them, physics is required for all majors in China University of Science and Technology, and the proportions of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Harbin Institute of Technology, Xi ‘an Jiaotong University, Zhejiang University, Tsinghua University and Shanghai Jiaotong University are 76.92%, 74%, 72.72%, 72.2%, 60% and 51.16% respectively.

The 86 th edition of The Journey to the West can be broadcast for another 30 years

Replay it 4000 times and it won’t fall to the altar.


Text | Liao Yizhou

Edit | Zhao Ordinary

Recently, when the glory of the king was opened, "Yungong Xunyin" sounded in the opening animation, and the DNA of netizens in the whole network moved again.

This "National Game" with a cumulative income of over $10 billion in October completed a historic linkage with the 86th edition of "National TV Series" The Journey to the West. Since the project was announced, it has been a frequent visitor to Weibo Hot Search, and every time a new skin goes online, it will also become the focus of discussion.

"the glory of the king" and "Sun Walker" skin

Director Yang Jie died in 2017. At that time, it was generally reported that the TV series had been replayed more than 3,000 times. In the promotional video of the glory of the king, the number became 4,000. Forty years ago, Yang Jie took the The Journey to the West crew for six years, trekked more than 100,000 kilometers, walked through 26 provinces and cities in China, and achieved a legend of the times with only one camera.

In the behind-the-scenes tidbits, several masters were delighted to be able to return to the public’s field of vision by this trendy form of games. Li Shihong, a voice actor in the Monkey King, said: "Unexpectedly, everyone has not forgotten us."

At that moment, the barrage was neatly brushed: "I can’t forget it!"

Journey to the West, or a presumptuous guest usurps the host’s role?

Thirty-five years ago, the first eleven episodes of The Journey to the West were broadcast during the Spring Festival, which caused a sensation in Xian Yi and the whole country, setting a viewing myth of 89.4%. Over the past 35 years, it has filled children’s childhood in winter and summer vacations every year, and its influence has been incalculable because of thousands of replays.

Today’s headlines released a set of data in 2016. The "Top10" of The Journey to the West’s original works respectively correspond to the story of the monkey king, Monkey King Thrice Defeats the Skeleton Demon, the three-borrowed banana fan, and the girl country. Without exception, all of them are stories filmed by The Journey to the West in the 86th edition, while the equally wonderful chapters of the original works (the sequel to Journey to the West in 2000) did not enter the top ten.

That year was the Year of the Monkey in the Lunar New Year. In a nostalgic trend, the program "Monkey Play", in which six-year-old children cooperated with Aaron Kwok, caused public dissatisfaction because they missed the CCTV Spring Festival Evening. Even though six-year-old children clarified that they had never been invited by CCTV, "Six-year-old children went to the Spring Festival Evening" and "Six-year-old children’s programs were killed" became hot topics in Weibo. There was no "Six Learning" in that year, and only millions of people jointly called for the Spring Festival Evening to interpret their dreams for the audience.

Not only at home, the 86th edition of The Journey to the West was also famous overseas. It is the first batch of TV dramas exported by New China, which was first broadcast in Southeast Asian countries such as Myanmar, Vietnam and Thailand. An article in Reference News mentioned: "In Vietnam, it caused a situation of empty lanes. When the drama was broadcast, even thieves and policemen disappeared from the streets." The score of the play in IMDB is still 8.6, and there are many comments on YouTube, such as "Thanks for enriching my childhood".

However, high status will inevitably bear more scrutiny.When the number of viewers who have seen the 86th edition of The Journey to the West far exceeds the number of readers who have read The Journey to the West’s original works, and the Monkey King, a six-year-old child, is "genuine", the voice of "misinterpreting the original works" has never stopped.

In the 86th edition, The Journey to the West made many adaptations to the original, such as the girl country section in the original, in which the relationship between the Tang Priest and the king was distinct from the beginning, and the TV series added a lot of tender and lingering "affection" meaning, and the Tang Priest’s momentary temptation was widely circulated with the song "Daughter Love".

At the same time, this TV series also added a "beauty filter" to the four masters and apprentices in the original work. Pig Bajie was originally a black wild boar with a "black face, short hair, long beak and big ears", but in the play it became white, fat and lovely, and Tang Priest often showed cowardice, selfishness and other despicable human nature. More contradictions focus on the Monkey King. The appearance of a six-year-old boy can be summarized as "Monkey King", while the Monkey King in the original works is short and ugly.

The Paper’s "Shanghai Book Review" column once published an article saying that "A Chinese Odyssey is closer to the original work than the 86th edition of The Journey to the West", and People’s Literature Publishing House also published an article expressing that "Yang Jie’s version of The Journey to the West is not as close to the original work as Stephen Chow’s", and compared the films such as "Demonizing the Journey to the West" together, saying that "the Monkey King’s cuteness, courage and kindness are completely inconsistent with the cannibalism, ferocity and violence in the original work". As for whether the Monkey King is "cannibalistic", there have been debates in Zhihu and other communities.

In essence, the 86th edition of The Journey to the West is also the product of a specific era.Its adaptation purpose completely conforms to the interpretation of novels by mainstream literary circles at that time:Full of romantic fantasies, praising rebellious mythical heroes. The TV series also "eliminates the weeds and saves the seeds", amplifying these parts that are in line with the "original spirit".

Chinese people’s feelings about traveling to the west are, to a great extent, feelings about the 86-edition TV series. On the level of "popularizing famous works", it has obviously taken the lead, but it is undeniable that without this version of TV series, many viewers will not think of paying attention to the original work.

A camera, a journey to the west.

The 86th edition of The Journey to the West’s filming road is also an out-and-out "learning from the classics". Yang Jie wrote in his autobiography: In people’s eyes, people of our time may be "idiots".

In the original work, there are both Yaochi Wonderland and the eerie demon cave. In order to put the beautiful scenery of mountains and rivers and humanistic architecture into the play, Yang Jie conducted a 63-day national landscape picking. When we arrived in Zhangjiajie, which had not been developed into a scenic spot at that time and was named "Shangyong", the mud road was slippery in the rain, and the van that the group took almost fell from the corner into the cliff.

Yang Jie once recalled,"The hardest part is stunts, which is an era when I don’t know what stunts are."There is only one Sony 300P split camera and only one machine in the whole crew, which means that the lenses of different positions have to be compensated by the "stupid way" of stacking times.

In the past six years, Yang Jie’s husband, Wang Chongqiu, went to the porthole to take pictures of the blue sky and the sea of clouds every time he flew. Some of these precious materials should be used as separate shots, while others should be used as the background of the key image. There was no professional photographic rail car, so Wang Chongqiu borrowed a bicycle from the crowd to replace it. There was no elevator, so he used three pillars as a seesaw to build one. The scene of "Underwater Dragon Palace" was created by the fish tank blocking the camera.

Blue screen keying relies on an imported ADO special effects machine, but when it is actually used, the crew found that it only bought hardware and didn’t buy supporting software, so it could not achieve three-dimensional effect. The software costs 50,000 dollars, far exceeding the budget, so many characters in special effects scenes in this version of The Journey to the West are "paper people".

Only the problem of funds can’t be overcome by hard work or clever thinking.When the 14th episode of "Hong Haier War" was filmed, the crew was plunged into economic crisis. The leader in charge said to Yang Jie, "Let’s make an ending." Yang Jie refused with the determination of "success or death" and filmed while raising money. The fundraising didn’t go well. In the end, Li Hongchang, the deputy director of production (who plays the role of black fox essence and centipede essence, etc.), raised 3 million yuan from the Eleventh Engineering Bureau of the Ministry of Railways, but in the end, it was reduced by 5 episodes and only 25 episodes were filmed.

Yang Jie’s salary for filming an episode by himself was 90 yuan. "Monkeys and Pig were 80, and Friar Sand was 60, so there was only a little reward." In Yang Jie’s memory, at that time, everyone didn’t talk about remuneration, regardless of time, and there was a record of working continuously for 23 hours. When traveling back and forth in more than 20 cities across the country, several wagons have to be moved by themselves, including four masters and apprentices.

The crew has a 30-cent night meal fee, which needs to be received after 11 pm. "When I eat at night, I said that I should add two bottles of beer to each table, and they all cheered. People at that time were very cute. "

In 2014, Han Han spent 100,000 yuan on The Journey to the West’s episode Daughter’s Love. It was the first time that Xu Jingqing and Yang Jie knew that there were still copyright fees, and they each took 30,000 yuan.Yang Jie said to Xu Jingqing, "Old Xu, this is the first time I have got such a high fee and so much money."

"Everyone is rushing to’ shoot a classic goal’." Xun Hao, deputy director, said, "No one will shoot TV series like this anymore."

A "sealed" westward journey

In this way, the 86th edition of The Journey to the West stands high on the historical coordinates, and the latecomers look up and approach, but no one can climb it.

The original challenger is itself. In 1998, Yang Jie applied to CCTV, and someone in the former crew had passed away. Otherwise, the five episodes that were cut off would be permanently lost. Yang Weiguang, then the director, agreed to shoot, and suggested that it was not only possible to shoot five episodes, so the script of Journey to the West was expanded to 15 episodes.

Restart the first episode of filming "Love Broken Black River", and choose Miyun Reservoir on the outskirts of Beijing. CCTV provided several mobile camera positions, and transferred two large cranes and a sprinkler. Compared with the hardships of filming version 86, the capital and technical conditions of the crew have been significantly improved. Yang Weiguang attached great importance to the sequel, and specially invited Cao Rong, the best action director of the Golden Horse Award in 1997, as the martial arts finger of this drama. In this episode, Cao Rong made a guest appearance in Prince Muang, the son of the West Sea Dragon King, which planted a seed for another controversial TV series in the future.

However, after the whole drama Journey to the West was broadcast during the Spring Festival in 2000, the response was mediocre, far from the grand occasion of that year. Yang Jie herself admits that the make-up is far from as simple as she imagined, and the final rendering effect is "far worse than the 86 version".

The makeup of the characters in Journey to the West is not exquisite enough and is also criticized.

There are different opinions on the reasons. Many fans have compared the two editions, pointing out that the level of Journey to the West has declined in aspects such as role makeup and lens scheduling. Even the theme song with high popularity, "Just captured several demons and surrendered several demons", is lower in artistic conception than the 86 edition, "Don’t boast that all monsters are scared, don’t mention dangerous mountains and evil waters."

Some media once asked Yang Jie, "Is it because the appreciation taste of the people has changed after 17 years, and the director’s thinking still stays in the past?" Yang Jie only said that "the story is no worse than before, but the character has not developed."

In the past 35 years, there have been two TV series filmed by The Journey to the West Quanben in the Mainland. In 2010, 52 episodes of The Journey to the West Douban filmed by Zhejiang TV Station scored only 5.7, which was not very meaningful. In 2012, Zhang Jizhong’s 60 episodes of "new journey to the west" took the road of "restoring the original work", but it was still not recognized by the audience because it wanted to make it too comprehensive and could not avoid the director’s personal "bootleg".Once compared, the 86 th edition was further pushed to the altar.

"Journey to the West" is an exception. In 1999, a businessman in Xi ‘an took a loan of 15 million yuan and a 20,000-word script to ask him to be a director. The original six-year-old boy temporarily refused to perform, so Cao Rong had to take the lead and said to the makeup artist at two o’clock in the morning, "Why don’t you let me try?" Cao Rong kept his eyes closed for fear of being laughed at during makeup, and only after taking the makeup photo did he find "OK", and a facial paralysis version of "Fight over Buddha" was born.

In addition to being unable to express his face because of makeup, Cao Rong knew that if he followed the same example, "No performance can beat a six-year-old child", he decided on the performance strategy of "three-point monkey, seven-point man", which was more in line with the steady changes after the Monkey King became a Buddha.

After the first edition of the 20,000-word story was changed into a script, it couldn’t support 30 groups at all, and it didn’t last long enough after the whole drama was filmed. However, the number of episodes is the boss’s rigid requirement. Cao Rong cut the action drama for half a year, "Try to slow down here, speed up there, or repeat some places", and was forced to create a "ancestor of ghosts and animals".

In Cao Rong’s memory, when The Journey to the West was broadcast, some people liked to jump on the street, while others scolded them. No one expected that it would become popular again because of "facial paralysis" and "ghost animals" several years later. At the end of 2019, Cao Rong moved to bilibili and began to re-edit "Journey to the West". A large number of viewers salvaged this TV series from their childhood memories, recalling that its plot was actually quite wonderful besides the stunt, and even many viewers really thought it was the story experienced by four apprentices after the westward journey.

However, the filming process and the red-hot process of Journey to the West are full of accidents, which can be recognized by the audience because its story frame has been divorced from The Journey to the West’s ontology, not to mention the impact on the 86 TV series.

Classic works like The Journey to the West,The audience can actually accept being unconventional without destroying the essence.The Biography of Journey to the West is a microcosm, and the movie A Chinese Odyssey, the online biography of Wukong, the animation The Return of the Great Sage, and the game Black Myth: Wukong have their own fans.But at the same time, once Zhu Yu is in the front, everyone’s tolerance threshold for "remake and destroy classics" has always been extremely low.With the passage of time, the 86th edition of The Journey to the West, which has been bearing the memory of several generations, has been almost stamped with an untouchable historical seal.

The Story of Wukong took a subversive route earlier in the Mainland.

Objectively speaking, the TV series 35 years ago will not be perfect, and there are also basic problems such as unstable supporting actors and rough special effects technology. In Yang Jie’s words, "everyone forgave it."

The 86th edition of The Journey to the West is a myth created in the era of "concentrating on doing great things". After 35 years of reinforcement, it is even more indestructible. Yang Jie once said that some works will surpass her The Journey to the West, but it is only a matter of time.

In a later interview, she added a note to this sentence: "But I don’t know if it goes on like this today."

The worst Jin Yong drama is always the next one.

Starry sky keeps walking-"Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope (FAST)" provides "China wisdom" for world astronomy.

  On April 17th, the reporter learned from the FAST Operation and Development Center of the National Astronomical Observatory that more than 900 new pulsars have been discovered by the 500-meter spherical radio telescope (FAST) known as the "Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope (FAST)".

  Produce a series of world-class achievements in the fields of the origin of fast radio bursts and gravitational wave detection; Independent research and development of receiver core components is expected to go abroad; FAST core array construction is ready to go … …

  Staring at the starry sky, I kept walking. "Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope (FAST)" is constantly providing China wisdom to the world astronomy and China technology to the global engineering community.

  Frequent achievements

  "Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope (FAST)" is a well-known national weapon. In order to "produce early results, produce more results, produce good results and produce great results", China scientists constantly "challenge the limits of cognition and technology" and polish their profound "eyes" with "Creation by China".

On April 17th, the reporter got news from the FAST Operation and Development Center of the National Astronomical Observatory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences that the number of new pulsars discovered by the 500-meter spherical radio telescope (FAST), known as the "Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope (FAST)", exceeded 900. Xinhua News Agency issued Liu Xu Lu Yuhan’s establishment

  Up to now, Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope (FAST) has discovered more than 900 new pulsars, including at least 170 millisecond pulsars, 120 binary pulsars and 80 faint occasional pulsars.

  "We are expanding the cognitive limits of human beings to the universe." Han Jinlin, head of the galactic plane Pulsar Survey Project of the National Astronomical Observatory, said. In the 50 years from the discovery of the first pulsar by humans to the discovery of the first pulsar by FAST, less than 3,000 pulsars have been discovered in the world.

  On October 10th, 2017, Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope (FAST) announced the discovery of six new pulsars, achieving a "zero breakthrough". This is the first time that China has discovered pulsars with its own independently developed radio telescope.

  At present, more than 900 new pulsars have been discovered by Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope (FAST), which is more than three times the total number of pulsars discovered by other telescopes at the same time in the world.

  Among them, compared with the normal pulsars, the radiation flux density of 80 faint occasional pulsars is one order of magnitude lower, and the lowest one has reached the submicrocentric order.

  In Han Jinlin’s view, the study of these accidental pulsars is of great significance for understanding how many dense neutron star wrecks are formed after the death of stars in the Milky Way and revealing the unknown physical process of pulse radiation.

  Han Jinlin told reporters that if searching for pulsars is compared to picking fruits, all the pulsars discovered before are close to the ground and easy to "pick", while the more than 900 new pulsars discovered by Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope (FAST) are farther away or more difficult to pick.

  Because each pulsar has its own special pulse and stable rotation frequency, they are equivalent to the "lighthouse" with unique signal marks in the universe. If the Interstellar can be realized in the future, these pulsars will provide "navigation" for human beings to travel in the vast universe.

  "We accurately measure the coordinates of pulsars in space, and monitor the phases and corresponding positional relationships of multiple pulsar signals during the journey, so that humans will not get lost in interstellar travel." Han Jinlin said.

  It is the first time to observe the "pulse" of black hole in radio band, detect the key evidence of the existence of nanohertz gravitational wave, and detect and construct the world’s largest neutral hydrogen galaxy sample … … In recent years, "Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope (FAST)" has made China contributions to exploring the mysteries of the universe.

  In the face of the unknown and the future, human destiny is shared. From the moment it was born, "Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope (FAST)" shouldered the mission.

  Sun Chun, the measurement and control engineer of Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope (FAST), introduced that since it was officially opened to the global scientific community on March 31st, 2021, Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope (FAST) has helped research teams from 15 countries including the United States, the Netherlands and Australia to carry out observation for nearly 900 hours, covering many fields such as scientific target drift scanning survey, neutral hydrogen galaxy survey, galaxy polarization survey, pulsar time measurement, and rapid radio burst observation.

  In the foreseeable future, "Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope (FAST)" will bring more new perspectives for the international astronomical community to continue to explore the universe and try to find the unknown, and make greater contributions to leading mankind to break through the new field of cognition.

  Innovation is not limited.

  "I thought it would be revised seven or eight times, but I didn’t expect the performance of the first edition to reach the world advanced level." Chai Xiaoming, a senior engineer at the National Astronomical Observatory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, introduced to the reporter a low-noise amplifier with a silver-plated shell and only the size of an organ. It was hard to hide his excitement in his speech.

  Low noise amplifier is the core component of Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope (FAST) receiver, which was imported before.

  In order to solve the problem of "stuck neck" and master the key technology in their own hands, Chai Xiaoming’s team spent nearly two years independently developing this high-performance domestic low-noise amplifier.

  Once the prototype was launched, it attracted the attention of the international astronomical community. The BINGO project in Brazil first proposed the willingness to cooperate in bulk purchase to the FAST Operation and Development Center.

  As the largest and most sensitive single-aperture spherical radio telescope in the world, "Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope (FAST)" has stimulated many special technical requirements, which requires China scientists to give full play to their subjective initiative and creativity, and to optimize and upgrade by constantly "challenging the cognitive and technical limits" and constantly "discovering and solving problems".

  There is no shortcut to innovation, only dare to climb.

  "No one told you what to do, and no one was sure that his own method would work." Jiang Peng, executive deputy director and chief engineer of FAST Operation and Development Center, said that the difficult research of "trial and error, failure and courage" runs through almost every link of FAST construction stage.

  In order to solve the problem of cable fatigue, Jiang Peng led a group of young people through nearly 100 failures and successfully supported the "retina" of "Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope (FAST)".

  In order to develop a new control system, Sun Jinghai, director of the Measurement and Control Engineering Department of FAST Operation and Development Center, burned the midnight oil to the east for countless times and almost rewritten all the core algorithm codes.

  In order to solve the problem of electromagnetic interference in substations, Gan Hengqian, director of the Electronic and Electrical Engineering Department of FAST Operation and Development Center, invented &hellip, a high-voltage filter matching with Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope (FAST), after nearly two years of exploration and testing. …

  Only in the construction stage, "Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope (FAST)" won important scientific and technological awards in more than ten fields, such as steel structure, automation industry, machinery industry, surveying and mapping geographic information technology, and electromagnetic compatibility research and development.

  "Eye of the Sky" asks the sky, and there is no end. Jiang Peng said frankly that if FAST is only regarded as a telescope and a monitoring device, it has reached the standard now. However, to maintain the leading position of FAST in the world, our innovation cannot stop, and we will do our best to make FAST more stable and efficient.

  At present, the annual observation time of FAST is stable at about 5,300 hours, which plays an important supporting role in continuously outputting scientific research results.

  Compete for the future

  Explore the sky and decipher the stars. "Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope (FAST)" has never stopped innovating.

  "Astronomy is extremely romantic, because it studies the sea of stars of human beings. Astronomy is also extremely cruel, because international competition is extremely fierce, and once it is relaxed, it will lose its leading position. " Jiang Peng said.

  Looking around the world, many radio telescope arrays, such as SKA, are under construction.

  "Once these telescopes are put into operation, ‘ Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope (FAST) ’ Will face enormous challenges. " Jiang Peng said, "If we relax a little, China astronomers may ‘ Lost ’ The forefront of the radio band field of vision. "

  The reporter recently walked into the core area of "Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope (FAST)" and saw on a hill less than 3 kilometers away from "Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope (FAST)" that the excavator was working intensively, and the original jagged hill top with miscellaneous trees had been leveled and compacted.

  "We plan to use the excellent electromagnetic wave environment within 5 kilometers around FAST in the next five years to build 20 to 30 fully movable radio telescopes with a diameter of 40 meters, and form a comprehensive aperture array with FAST, that is, the FAST core array." Jiang Peng told reporters that a 40-meter-class fully movable radio telescope will be built on the working hill within this year.

  "By ‘ Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope (FAST) ’ Observing the universe is like using ‘ Thick-headed pencil ’ If the core array is completed and put into use, it is equivalent to using high-resolution ‘ Digital camera ’ Shoot the distant stars. " Jiang Peng introduced that once the core array is completed, it will greatly improve the vision of "Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope (FAST)" and let "‘ Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope (FAST) ’ Not only can you see far, but you can also see clearly. "

  According to AARON Li, director of the Structural and Mechanical Engineering Department of FAST Operation and Development Center, FAST Core Array will expand the existing scientific research fields, especially play an important role in extreme temporary sources such as gravitational wave events, fast radio bursts, gamma ray bursts, supernovae and black hole tidal disintegration events.

  In addition to astrophysical research, FAST core array is expected to play a huge role in the field of deep space exploration, such as near-earth object early warning, space micro-target detection, deep space satellite communication and control, ionospheric characteristics measurement, pulsar time reference, etc., which can play a very important strategic support role for the development of China’s aerospace field.

  Jiang Peng said: "In order to keep China’s radio astronomy power internationally advanced, we will accelerate the climb from a new starting point and lead the team to explore new scientific frontiers."

Eight newly-opened special spas in the world interpret luxury in a low-key way (5)

New york Halo spa

Experience the magic of salt SPA in salt cave
Experience the magic of salt SPA in salt cave

 

    Since salt is used as a spa, why should I come here and go directly to the seaside? To tell you the truth, Ray thinks so, too. However, it is said that "this newly-opened Halo spa in new york can treat asthma and drive away the cold". I can’t help but make little Ray curious.

    Located in Manhattan, Halo Spa is the first of its kind in the United States, and it acts like a salt cave in Eastern Europe (like Slovakia).

    Ray told me, "Halo spa also has a children’s room. The children’s room looks like a fairyland, which is very suitable for bringing children." Salt is imported from Ukraine, and it is on the walls and floors, and there are fine salt particles in the air, just like salt spray.

    "I can even smell a smell of salt when I bring my daughter," Ray has always been a man with strong action and keen to reveal secrets. "Maybe I’m afraid that children can’t stay, and there are many toys, rocking wooden horses and TVs in it."

    It is said that this therapy is very popular in Israel. Moreover, it is said that salt therapy can also treat skin diseases, heart diseases, vascular diseases and relieve fatigue and depression, and it is also helpful to quit smoking. That said, I think it should be promoted vigorously in China, so that adults and children don’t have to worry about catching a cold in cold places.

 

London The Dorchester Spa

Meet the popular SPA of Hollywood stars
Meet the popular SPA of Hollywood stars

 

    The renovated and reopened Dorchester spa is regarded as the best spa in Britain in 2010. The location is good. The environment in the Mayflower District is absolutely unparalleled in London. The Dorchester Hotel is also famous as the "best business hotel". It is said that each guest has three employees to serve it.

    Gillian, a friend from London, described it as "I know this newly renovated spa is good, but I didn’t expect it to be so good". Unlike traditional spa rooms, which all have a front desk, Dorchester spa is led by a special person directly through a dark aisle to a rest area, with a platinum mirror screen behind it. The highlight of the design is the curtain made of 72,000 South African pearls designed by Linton. Luxury is naturally everywhere, such as sofas and beds inside. If you want to show off, the spa room can really be made into a brand museum. Care products are no exception. Body care products include Vaishaly,Carol Joy London (ask Londoners about the popularity of these two products) and Kerstin Florian (first appeared in the spa room in London).

    Some details in the SPA are also very popular, such as the sound insulation effect of the nursing room is very good. This point was carefully considered when redecorating.

    Dorchester Hotel is a favorite hotel of Hollywood stars, so maybe when you are resting in public space, you will be sitting next to a star who has been in the limelight recently. When Harry Potter and The Lord of the Rings premiered in London, hotels were the first choice for holding receptions and staying with superstars. Sometimes you have to think, isn’t this luxury a bit too much? 

Ministry of Industry and Information Technology: China’s new energy vehicles drive the comprehensive reshaping of industrial ecology

  Beijing, December 10, 2007 (Reporter Han Meng) According to the News and Newspapers Summary of Voice of China, China Central Radio and Television Station, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology recently introduced that China’s new energy vehicles have developed rapidly, and at the same time, they have integrated various revolutionary technologies such as artificial intelligence, Internet and big data, and the ecology of the automobile industry is being completely reshaped.

  At present, the development of new energy vehicle industry in China has achieved positive results. In 2023, the production and sales of new energy vehicles in China are close to tens of millions, which has cultivated the world’s largest new energy vehicle consumption market and built an efficient and collaborative industrial system, which has injected a strong impetus into the electrification transformation of the global automobile industry.

  In addition, the industrial chain and value chain of new energy vehicles are continuously expanding to the fields of transportation, energy, information and communication, and China is accelerating the construction of a new ecology of the automobile industry.

  Xin Guobin, Vice Minister of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology: Accelerate the promotion and application of new energy vehicles, jointly promote the low-carbon development of energy supply, material supply, manufacturing and other links, and improve the green recycling ecosystem.

  The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology also said that China will actively promote the innovative development of new energy and intelligent networked vehicles, support the research and development and industrialization of new generation power batteries, new chassis, intelligent driving and other technologies, carry out pilot projects for the production access and road traffic of intelligent networked vehicles, and carry out the pilot application of city-level integration of "cars can Lu Yun".

It’s about your wallet! What changes have been ushered in by the introduction of the new payment regulations in the billion-dollar market?

  On the 17th, the Regulation on the Supervision and Administration of Non-bank Payment Institutions was promulgated, which came into effect on May 1, 2024. This is the first administrative regulation in the field of supervision of non-bank payment institutions, and it is also the first administrative regulation in the financial field issued after the Central Financial Work Conference.

  Non-bank payment institutions are non-bank institutions that are allowed to handle online payment services, such as Alipay and WeChat payment, which we often use.

  By the end of September 2023, there were 185 non-bank payment institutions in China. At present, the annual transaction amount of payment institutions has reached nearly 400 trillion yuan, serving over 1 billion individuals and tens of millions of merchants. What impact will this new regulation have on this multi-billion-dollar market? What convenience will it bring to the people?

  01

  What are the contents of the regulations?

  There are 6 chapters and 60 articles in the Regulations, which focus on four aspects, including defining non-bank payment institutions and establishing licenses, improving payment business rules, protecting users’ legitimate rights and interests, and clarifying regulatory responsibilities and legal responsibilities.

  The "Regulations" focus on giving play to the important role of the non-bank payment industry in helping the development of the real economy and improving people’s livelihood; Strengthen the guidance on the functional orientation and development of payment institutions, guide payment institutions to adhere to the purpose of small amount and convenience, focus on the main business, improve services, and better meet the payment and settlement needs of users; Strengthen user orientation and greatly enhance the protection of user rights and interests; Form a stronger mechanism guarantee in comprehensively strengthening supervision, preventing and resolving risks.

  The person in charge of the Payment and Clearing Association told reporters that from this perspective, the Regulations are the "basic law" for the healthy and sustainable development of non-bank payment services.

  02

  What are the problems in the payment industry? What are the new regulations?

  At present, China’s mobile payment ranks at the leading level in the world, effectively helping the development of the real economy and improving people’s livelihood.

  At the same time, however, some payment institutions also operate in violation of regulations, such as: illegally misappropriating user funds, revealing or improperly collecting and using user information; Individual payment institutions take risks and provide funds transfer channels for illegal and criminal activities such as telecommunication network fraud and cross-border gambling.

  In view of these problems, one of the key contents of the Regulations is to greatly strengthen the protection of users’ rights and interests. On the one hand, it is clear that payment institutions shall not misappropriate, occupy or borrow customers’ reserve funds, and shall not forge or alter payment instructions. At the same time, regarding the protection of users’ rights and interests, which consumers are generally concerned about, the Regulations not only require payment institutions to respect the legitimate rights and interests such as users’ right to choose independently and the right to know, but also disclose relevant information to users in a timely manner; It also requires payment institutions to take measures to ensure the safety of users’ personal information and prevent users’ information from being leaked or abused, which gives consumers a "reassurance" and allows them to use all kinds of network and mobile payment services more safely.

  03

  Strict entry threshold and increase punishment

  The "Regulations" clearly adhere to licensed operation and strictly enter the threshold. Payment institutions must implement access management in accordance with the principle of "license before license", clarify the access conditions of payment institutions such as registered capital, major shareholders, actual controllers and senior management personnel, and also implement license management for major changes, and at the same time establish and improve the normalized exit mechanism of serious illegal institutions.

  In addition, the "Regulations" clearly stipulate that penalties for serious violations of laws and regulations will be increased according to law.

  04

  How to punish? Who will punish?

  The Regulations clarify that the People’s Bank of China may impose fines on relevant payment institutions, restrict some payment businesses or order them to suspend business for rectification, even revoke their payment business licenses. At the same time, it is clear that the directors, supervisors, senior executives and other personnel who are directly responsible can be punished according to specific circumstances, and if the circumstances are serious, measures can be taken to ban them from entering the market.

  05

  What do payment institutions think?

  This new payment regulation involves both head payment institutions and small and medium-sized payment institutions, including representatives of private and foreign payment institutions.

  What impact will the implementation of the new regulations have on the industry? Alipay, WeChat and other related business leaders have voiced their voices. All payment institutions said that the Regulations will help the non-bank payment industry to further standardize the healthy development and make positive contributions to the development of the real economy and the improvement of people’s livelihood.

  one

  Alipay: It is conducive to the standardized and orderly development of the payment industry

  The relevant person in charge of Alipay said that the implementation of the Regulations laid a foundation for healthy competition and standardized and healthy development for the future development of payment institutions. Through this management regulation, the full chain and full cycle supervision of payment institutions is further strengthened, which is conducive to preventing risks in the payment industry. At the same time, under the role of standardization, the payment industry will usher in further standardized and orderly development, which is also conducive to the long-term development of the physical industry.

  2

  Tenpay: The payment industry has fundamental regulations.

  Tenpay said that the promulgation of the Regulations, on the one hand, has improved the legal level of supervision of payment institutions, from the original departmental regulations to administrative regulations, which indicates that the payment industry has fundamental regulations, which is conducive to strengthening industry supervision, improving supervision efficiency and establishing supervision authority; On the other hand, it conforms to the development trend of the payment service market, which lays a solid foundation for standardizing the compliance operation of payment institutions and points out the way for the high-quality development of payment services.

  three

  Paypal payment: payment institutions can operate more legally and regularly.

  The promulgation and implementation of this regulation is conducive to the establishment of long-term stable expectations of all parties in the industry, and the payment institutions can operate more legally and standardize, thus ensuring the healthy and sustainable development of the payment industry. Strict access to payment institutions is one of the important measures to ensure the development of the payment industry. The regulations have further improved and optimized the conditions and standards for the access of payment institutions, making them more scientific and standardized. This measure will help to improve the strength and service quality of the whole industry and provide more secure and reliable payment services for users and businesses.

  four

  Union easy treasure: the industry expects to escort the high-quality development of the payment industry.

  With the rapid development of the payment industry, some problems are gradually exposed, and risk events such as business alienation, misappropriation of funds and data leakage occur from time to time. Some institutions use payment platforms to engage in illegal fund-raising and telecommunication network fraud, which damages the image and reputation of the industry, disrupts the financial order and infringes on the legitimate rights and interests of financial consumers. The contradiction that the existing payment supervision system is low in level, limited in legal effect and unable to fully adapt to market norms and development needs is increasingly prominent. It can be expected that the "Regulations" will strengthen the full chain and full cycle supervision of the non-bank payment industry, which is conducive to giving full play to the role of the law in safeguarding the industry, stabilizing expectations and benefiting the long term, and empowering and escorting the high-quality development of the payment industry.

From January to October, the total import and export volume reached 25.95 trillion yuan, up 1.1% year-on-year-the import and export trade stabilized and improved.

A few days ago, the State Council held a regular briefing on the State Council policy. The relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Commerce introduced the implementation opinions of the General Office of the State Council on promoting the innovation and development of foreign trade and answered questions from reporters on hot issues. The data shows that since the beginning of this year, all localities and departments have coordinated the prevention and control of epidemic situation and stabilized foreign trade, and achieved positive results. The import and export have stabilized better and better than expected. From January to October, the total import and export volume of China reached 25.95 trillion yuan, up 1.1% year-on-year, and the scale reached a new high in the same period in history.

Policies play an effective role in helping.

Since the beginning of this year, what is the implementation effect of a series of policies to stabilize foreign trade? Li Xinggan, director of the Foreign Trade Department of the Ministry of Commerce, said that various policies have played an effective role in helping foreign trade enterprises, mainly in five aspects:

The role of export tax rebate has been effectively enhanced. This year, the tax rebate rate for 1,464 products was raised in full, benefiting 25,000 export enterprises. Improve the speed of tax refund processing, shorten the average processing time to less than 8 days, and further reduce the problem of corporate capital occupation.

Give full play to the function of export credit insurance. In the first three quarters, Export Credit Insurance provided assistance to nearly 140,000 foreign trade enterprises, with a year-on-year increase of nearly 28%, including over 110,000 small and micro enterprises.

Foreign trade credit support has been significantly increased. Nearly 20 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities across the country have established a "credit guarantee+guarantee" financing model, which has effectively alleviated the financing problems of small and medium-sized micro-foreign trade enterprises.

The level of trade facilitation continued to improve. The compliance cost of import and export of a single container in China was reduced to $318 and $330 respectively. In September this year, the overall customs clearance time for China’s import and export was 35.02 hours and 1.86 hours respectively, which significantly improved the customs clearance efficiency.

The government’s public services continued to improve. Establish a direct reporting information service platform for key foreign trade and foreign-funded enterprises, and strengthen early warning and legal services for economic and trade frictions. The Ministry of Commerce has provided legal services to more than 30,000 enterprises this year, and issued more than 1,500 relevant early warning messages. The average time for foreign trade enterprises to know the case has been shortened by 7 days compared with last year.

Export products have achieved good results in domestic sales.

Against the background of the global epidemic and the change of external demand, what new progress has been made in developing the domestic market for China’s export commodities?

Li Xinggan introduced that since the General Office of the State Council issued the "Implementation Opinions on Supporting Export Products to Domestic Sales" this year, the Ministry of Commerce has supported marketable export commodities to explore the domestic market and achieved a series of positive results. "Supporting marketable export products to be sold domestically has stabilized foreign trade entities and industrial chain supply chains, expanded domestic consumption and industrial upgrading needs, created new market opportunities and development space, and enriched and met people’s needs for high-quality life." Li xinggan said.

Build channels to speed up the transfer to domestic sales. In conjunction with various localities, a series of activities to turn pedestrian street exports into domestic sales have been held one after another, and enterprises have been supported to explore the domestic market through various channels such as direct purchase of orders from supermarkets and online sales docking. Organize domestic buyers to purchase foreign trade goods at the Canton Fair, and all localities support enterprises to expand domestic sales channels according to local conditions.

Use investment projects to drive domestic sales. All localities support powerful foreign trade enterprises to participate in major projects such as new infrastructure construction, new urbanization construction, transportation and water conservancy.

Promote the convergence of standards and promote the transfer to domestic sales. We will expand the publicity and promotion of products with the same line, the same standard and the same quality, and expand the scope of "three products" from food and agricultural products to consumer goods such as toys, furniture and clothing. The results of a questionnaire survey of 4,130 foreign trade enterprises show that over 40% of foreign trade enterprises have started the business of exporting to domestic sales.

Li Xinggan pointed out that there are still practical challenges in domestic market cultivation, brand promotion and team building in domestic sales when enterprises export products to domestic sales. "The Ministry of Commerce will work with all localities, departments and relevant industry organizations to further implement various policies and measures in the State Council, and rely on the strong domestic market potential and space to promote a virtuous circle and coordinated development of domestic and foreign trade." Li xinggan said.

Promote the innovative development of foreign trade.

Faced with the impact of the epidemic, China’s foreign trade rose against the trend, and this achievement was hard-won.

Ren Hongbin, Assistant Minister of Commerce, pointed out that the stabilization of import and export trade in China benefited from many factors: first, major strategic achievements were made in coordinating epidemic prevention and control and economic and social development; second, policies and measures to stabilize foreign trade were effective; third, international cooperation in epidemic prevention and control was deepened to contribute to the increase of foreign trade; fourth, the advantages of industrial chain and supply chain were fully stimulated; fifth, online and offline exhibitions helped enterprises to explore markets.

Recently, the General Office of the State Council issued the "Implementation Opinions on Promoting the Innovation and Development of Foreign Trade", put forward the tasks of "five optimizations" and "three constructions" and defined the implementation path to promote the innovation and development of foreign trade.

The "five optimizations" are to optimize the international market layout, domestic regional layout, business entities, commodity structure and trade mode. The "three constructions" are to build a foreign trade transformation and upgrading base, a trade promotion platform and an international marketing system.

According to reports, "five optimizations" and "three constructions" are the tasks and means to explore and constantly enrich and improve in foreign trade practice for many years, and are important starting points for promoting foreign trade innovation and development. The "Implementation Opinions" put forward innovative measures to accelerate the promotion of "five optimizations" and "three constructions", which will provide strong support for enhancing the comprehensive competitiveness of foreign trade. The Ministry of Commerce will earnestly implement the "Implementation Opinions" and steadily promote the innovative development of foreign trade.

Ren Hongbin pointed out that the current COVID-19 epidemic is still spreading around the world, the international demand has dropped sharply, the supply chain of the industrial chain is not circulating smoothly, trade protectionism is on the rise, and uncertainties and unstable factors have increased significantly. "At the same time, we must see that China’s foreign trade is resilient and has great potential, and its enterprises have strong innovation ability. The long-term positive development trend has not changed." Ren Hongbin said. (Reporter Wang Wenzheng)

First check-in! 40-year-old house is "brand-new", striding forward in a new era and a new journey.

It is the common wish of many villagers that the old rural houses that have lived for decades can be "rejuvenated". Year of the snake Spring Festival is approaching. In Jianghai Village, nanqiao town, a group of villagers "wish come true" and happily moved into a brand-new old house.

Originally, as early as 2023, nanqiao town promoted group-based renovation work in rural areas with demand and conditions within the town, and effectively improved the living quality of rural villagers. The 15 households on the west side of the Five-Star Eight Group in Jianghai Village were the first group repair projects in the town, which were first completed in June 2024. Now, 15 villagers have been renovated and moved in one after another, expecting to move into a brand-new home before the Spring Festival, and the whole family will have a reunion dinner and enjoy a comfortable and comfortable modern pastoral life.

On the afternoon of the New Year, the warm sunshine fell on the homestead of five-star eight groups in Jianghai Village. White exterior walls, black tiles, supplemented by blue bricks and log elements, a row of newly renovated residential foundations with unified design is quite eye-catching in the village, and it also forms a strong contrast with a row of old residential foundations on the east side of the road. If you look closer, you can also find that there is a large parking area in the north of each house base, and the relatively independent courtyard of each family is divided by low walls and hedges in the south. In front of the courtyard, a flat waterfront trail and a hydrophilic platform were newly added. At this time, the old people who have already stayed in the "new house" are basking in the sun, waiting for the night to fall, and their descendants will return to the homestead to have a reunion dinner.

When it comes to the new look of the homestead, the villagers are all smiles. Because of this renovation, their living environment has been significantly improved, and even the younger generation is willing to go back to the old homestead for dinner every day. After 1995, Hong Jiaxuan simply regarded the old homestead as her new wedding house. She told reporters, "In the past, there was no air conditioning and natural gas in the countryside. It was cold in winter and hot in summer, and then cooking could only burn the stove. Now I have it all. My parents and I live directly in the countryside. The family lives quite comfortably and feels happier than living in a commercial house. "

As early as last September, He Shuizhang showed his new house to reporters. In the spacious living room of the new house, the furniture and TV cabinets were fully arranged, and the small yard in the south was also well-made by Lao He, which was quite warm. "It’s different from the previous days, and it feels better than the commercial housing in the town!" Csi said with a smile.

Living next door to He Shuizhang is his younger brother He Shuilong, who also moved in early in the second half of last year. According to Lao He’s recollection, most of the houses in the Red Star Group 8 were built in the 1970s, among which the two brothers are the oldest, with 45 years of mud walls and dilapidated houses. "Our houses are more than 40 years old. The house I built at the age of 21 is now 68 years old. Now it is much cleaner than before and we live more comfortably."

Hong Yuehua, who hasn’t moved into a new house, will come here for a walk every day to talk with his neighbors about his family, and his feelings of looking forward to staying are beyond words. "We used to be mud walls and mud boards. When we touched our hands, the mud would fall off. Everyone wanted to rebuild it. It happened that there was this project in the village, so we were all very satisfied!" Hong Yuehua said with emotion: "Now the sanitation has improved, the living conditions have improved, and the younger generation is willing to go back to the countryside. My grandchildren want to live in the countryside, saying that the air in the countryside is good, the sun is abundant, and the houses are well built. They all want to have a reunion year in the new house."

According to Gu Chunfeng, secretary of the Party branch of Jianghai Village, Wuxing Eight Groups, located on the south side of Nanting Highway and the east side of Shagang, are old houses built in the village for a long time. Over the years, many villagers have reported problems such as dilapidated houses, settlement and cracking, and they have a high voice for house repair. However, considering that Wuxing Eight Groups are the residential bases built in a row, there is no corresponding repair policy and opportunity. Just the year before last, Fengxian District issued a policy of repairing related groups, and the opportunity came. After several design demonstrations and summarizing villagers’ opinions, nanqiao town started the group repair work of 15 villagers.

"Our main purpose is to completely solve the problem of improving the living quality of houses that the people most expect through this group repair, and at the same time, it will also help the style of rural houses. Moreover, the biggest environmental sanitation difficulty in the village is the dilapidated foundation of houses. Renovation is also a cure." Gu Chunfeng said that after the renovation, nine families have moved in, three families are being renovated, and the rest plan to move in this year. The living quality of ordinary people has improved, and the style of rural houses has become better. It has also played a leading and exemplary role in the village. Next, the renovation project of more than a dozen households on the east side of the road is already in progress.

In fact, at present, there are two mature groups in the town of nanqiao town, namely, five-star eight groups in Jianghai Village and three groups in Guangming Village, and a total of 49 villagers are promoting the renovation work. According to Tao Longwang, deputy director of nanqiao town Urban Construction Center, the houses in nanqiao town are basically houses built in the 1970s and 1980s, and the houses have reached a certain age. However, due to the restrictions of previous planning and control and the current housing policy, it is more difficult for villagers to rebuild the houses sporadically. "If we concentrate on renovation, on the one hand, we can fight for the rights and interests of the people, and the price can be relatively cheaper. On the other hand, because it is a group renovation, we can also organize the houses as a whole. He said that next, when all the conditions are ripe, nanqiao town will continue to promote the group renovation work, effectively improve the living quality of rural villagers, enhance the level of rural revitalization, and create a new style of water town in the south of the Yangtze River that is "homesick and visible to development".
