The Middle East in 2016: Another Year in Danger

Conflict and turmoil are still the key words in the Middle East in 2016, and ethnic and religious contradictions are constantly intertwined with the game between big countries inside and outside the region. After the long-term turmoil in the Middle East, development and stability have become the common aspiration of countries and people in the Middle East, especially the desire of Arab countries to avoid chaos and seek governance is even stronger. People’s determination, avoiding chaos, seeking governance and development may be the hope of turbulent Middle East.

The situation in the Middle East in 2016 continued the basic characteristics of the interweaving of transformation and turmoil since the Middle East changed. On the one hand, the turmoil in the Middle East continues to deepen, spread and spill over, which is highlighted by the crisis of breaking diplomatic relations between Saudi Arabia and Iran, the deepening of the game between the great powers of the United States and Russia, the attempted coup in Turkey, the many large-scale terrorist attacks launched by the Islamic State in Europe and the Middle East, the difficult anti-terrorism struggle against the Islamic State, the stalemate in the political settlement of the Syrian issue, the rising Kurdish issue, the continued low oil prices, and the difficult transition of countries in the Middle East. On the other hand, the Middle East, which has experienced long-term turmoil, has also seen a chance to seek governance in chaos. From a regional perspective, despite the deepening of the game between big countries inside and outside the region, the consensus on politically solving regional hot issues such as the Syrian crisis, jointly coping with the terrorism and refugee crisis, and strengthening international cooperation against the "Islamic State" has been enhanced; From the national level, the transition process of the Middle East countries is still very difficult, but it is becoming the common aspiration of the countries and people in the region to be determined, avoid chaos and seek governance and development.

The game between the great powers of the United States and Russia has deepened.

But it did not move towards full-scale confrontation.

On the global strategic level, the fundamental reason for the continued deepening of the Middle East turmoil in 2016 lies in the adjustment of the Middle East strategy of the United States and Russia and the complex game between them. However, the relationship between them is in a state of limited confrontation, competition and cooperation, and it has not moved towards a large-scale comprehensive confrontation.

Overall contraction and controllable leadership constitute the basic characteristics of American Middle East strategy, which is the fundamental reason why the United States has relaxed its Syrian policy, eased its relations with Iran and limited its investment in cracking down on "Islamic State". While the United States is relatively retreating, Russia has stepped up its involvement in Middle East affairs by attacking the "Islamic State" militarily to help the Bashar regime in Syria, increasing its strategic investment in regional powers such as Iran and Egypt, and taking the Middle East as the main direction to break through the strategic dilemma after the Ukrainian crisis. The strategic situation of the United States retreating from Russia and the contradictions between the two sides around the Syrian crisis, the fight against the "Islamic State" and the struggle for regional power all complicate the regional hot issues and the differentiation and combination of regional forces, making the Middle East issue an important part of Medvedev’s so-called "new cold war".

But at the same time, we should also see that Russia’s strategic investment in the Middle East is still a limited investment based on local interests, and Russia does not yet have the strength and willingness to compete with the United States and the West for the Middle East in an all-round way. Therefore, the game between the United States and Russia in the Middle East is limited and controllable. There is still room for cooperation and interest exchange between the two sides on the Syrian issue and the fight against the "Islamic State", and the relationship between the two sides has not moved towards a comprehensive large-scale confrontation. The situation of US-Russian relations in 2016 shows that the two sides have had frequent interactions around the Syrian issue and the fight against the "Islamic State". The two sides even reached a ceasefire agreement on the Syrian crisis in September 2016, which shows that the two sides have a willingness to cooperate, but due to serious differences, the ceasefire agreement quickly fell through. Subsequently, the two sides vetoed each other at the UN Security Council in October, so that the draft resolutions on Syria proposed by France, Spain and Russia were not passed, which shows the deep differences between the two sides. Judging from the future development trend, the United States and Russia will fight for a political solution to the Syrian issue, crack down on the "Islamic State" and actively strive for regional powers, but the two sides will also carry out limited cooperation around regional hot issues.

The regional pattern continues to be unbalanced,

However, it is difficult for any regional power to dominate.

From the perspective of the pattern of the Middle East, the root of the current chaos in the Middle East lies in the drastic changes in the Middle East, the strategic adjustment of the United States in the Middle East, the sudden emergence of the "Islamic State" and other factors, which have made it difficult to rebuild the regional pattern and never form a relatively stable balance of power structure. In 2016, the imbalance of the pattern in the Middle East was further aggravated, which was highlighted by the continuous deterioration of the strategic environment of Turkey and Saudi Arabia, and the ambition of their great powers was continuously frustrated by internal and external difficulties.

First of all, the geopolitical, ethnic and sectarian confrontation between the two camps with Saudi Arabia and Iran as the core has become increasingly solid, but the confrontation between the two sides is more agent competition and has not moved towards a comprehensive direct confrontation. In the past few years, Saudi Arabia and Iran have launched a continuous agency competition around Bahrain, Syria, Iraq and Yemen. At the beginning of 2016, the crisis of breaking diplomatic relations between Saudi Arabia and Iran led to the openness and factionalization of confrontation between the two sides. The contradiction between the two sides was not a simple sectarian contradiction, but a superposition of three major contradictions: the geopolitical contradiction for regional dominance, the Arab-Persian contradiction, and the Sunni-Shia contradiction. The confrontation between the two sides presents a "new normal" of constant discord but not going to war, and the countries in the Middle East are gradually divided into Saudi camp, Iranian camp and middle camp. After the sanctions were lifted, Iran’s rising momentum became more and more obvious, but it was still difficult to get out of the predicament of long-term sanctions in a short time. For Saudi Arabia, although its status as a big country still exists, it has fallen into serious strategic anxiety due to the rise of Iran, the impact of low oil prices, diplomatic difficulties and the retrogression of Saudi-American allies.

Secondly, Turkey attacked from all sides based on multiple goals such as seeking great power status, competing for regional dominance, and solving the domestic Kurdish issue, but its great power ambition was seriously frustrated in 2016. In recent years, Turkey has made bad relations with Israel on the Palestinian-Israeli issue, wrestled with Iran on the Syrian issue, fought with the Egyptian Sethi regime on the Muslim Brotherhood issue, clashed with Iraq and Syria on the Kurdish issue, played a game with Russia on the Syrian issue and the fight against the "Islamic State", and even competed with Saudi Arabia on the issue of Sunni dominance and Islamic world dominance, and played more negative roles. In 2016, Turkey was deeply impacted by the attempted coup, the Kurdish issue, frequent terrorist attacks and other issues. With the early scenery of the "Arab Spring" no longer, Turkey’s diplomacy has become cautious and restrained.

Finally, the traditional regional powers have different powers, and their power restructuring is far from in place. Although the status of Egypt and Israel cannot be underestimated, it is difficult for them to make great achievements. Judging from the comparative situation of the five regional fulcrum countries, namely Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Turkey and Israel, except for the above-mentioned Iran, Saudi Arabia and Turkey, Egypt’s status has greatly declined due to domestic turmoil and economic sluggishness, but the Sethi regime is seeking to revitalize Egypt’s status as a regional power. Israel’s security environment has been greatly improved, and its economic and scientific strength has made it an alternative stable country among the major powers in the Middle East. However, apart from adopting a more stubborn and conservative policy on the Palestinian-Israeli issue, Israel simply does not have the conditions and ability to lead regional affairs.

In short, in the current regional structure, the unfavorable position of major powers is further highlighted, and it is difficult for all parties to dominate regional affairs. Its positive impact is that the foreign strategies of major powers will tend to be cautious and rational, creating conditions for political solutions to regional hot issues; Its negative impact is that the continued imbalance of regional pattern will lead to the aggravation of regional disorder and seriously affect regional security and stability.

The transformation of Middle East countries is difficult.

But seeking development and stability has become the general trend.

Generally speaking, there are three types of countries in the Middle East: first, countries governed by chaos, represented by Egypt and Tunisia, whose overall situation is that although their situation has improved, their prospects are still not optimistic. To a large extent, they have only initially completed the task of maintaining national stability, but they are far from finding a suitable development path; Second, countries with persistent turmoil, such as Syria, Yemen, Libya and Iraq, are still in serious turmoil, and national reconstruction is seriously hindered; Third, most other Middle Eastern countries facing the pressure of transformation are solving long-standing problems through political and economic reforms and enhancing their national governance capacity.

The above three types of countries are all facing heavy transformation pressure. The important task of a country ruled by chaos lies in exploring the development path and development model. The key task of a country with serious turmoil lies in achieving stability at an early date, while the important task of a country facing transformation pressure lies in alleviating and releasing contradictions through reform and avoiding repeating the mistakes of the "Arab Spring" through development and transformation. For the first two types of countries, 2016 is still in a stalemate where transformation and turmoil are intertwined, and there is no new breakthrough; There are two noteworthy phenomena in countries facing the pressure of transformation, that is, Gulf Arab countries are actively promoting the transformation of national economic development, and the attempted coup in Turkey has exposed the profound pressure they are facing. However, from the perspective of the whole region, it is becoming the common aspiration of the countries and people in the region to be calm, avoid chaos and seek governance and development.

First of all, the GCC countries represented by Saudi Arabia, which are traditional energy powers, are actively exploring national transformation and trying to get rid of a single economic structure by implementing medium-and long-term economic plans. In 2016, Saudi Arabia put forward the "Vision 2030" plan, the United Arab Emirates formulated the "Strategic Plan 2021" and Qatar also formulated the "National Development Plan 2030", trying to get rid of dependence on oil and realize diversified economic development, but its prospects remain to be seen.

Secondly, the attempted coup reflects the deep-seated contradictions and crises in Turkey. In 2016, the slowdown in economic growth, frequent terrorist attacks, Erdogan’s forced presidential system, deepening diplomatic difficulties and the attempted coup all indicate that Turkey’s prosperity and stability in the past decade or so since the Justice and Development Party came to power are changing. At present, the contradictions between secularism and religion, state and society, authoritarianism and democracy, army and government, nation and religion, and nation and ethnicity constitute the main problems facing Turkey in the current transformation process. Turkey’s political, economic and social development has entered a period of profound adjustment and transformation, and may fall into the double predicament of economic recession and political turmoil.

Finally, after the long-term turmoil since the Middle East changed, development and stability have become the common aspiration of countries and people in the Middle East, especially the desire of Arab countries to avoid chaos and seek governance is even stronger. According to some opinion polls, due to the long-term political turmoil, extremism and terrorism, and the sustained economic downturn, both the Arab people and the intellectual elite have lost confidence in the so-called "Arab Spring" and are strongly eager for the country to achieve political stability and economic development. For example, a survey called "Arab Public Opinion Index" shows that the proportion of Arabs who have a positive attitude towards the "Arab Spring" has dropped from 61% in 2013 to 34% in 2015. According to the data of the Arab Youth Survey in 2016, 53% of Arab youth believe that stability is more important than democracy, while only 28% hold the opposite attitude. Therefore, people’s determination, avoiding chaos, seeking governance and development are increasingly becoming the common aspiration of countries and people in the Middle East, which may be the hope of turbulent Middle East.

Simple main interface, one-click listening to music

Enter the main interface of soda music. The main interface is song recommendation by default, that is, the song playing interface. Users can directly click the play button to play the recommended songs, and can switch songs by sliding up and down.

Perhaps because Xiao Bian is old, Xiao Bian has brushed dozens of songs, but few songs recommended by soda music are liked by Xiao Bian. This is based on Tik Tok’s powerful recommendation algorithm, which is really wrong.

In the song playing page, the top is the lyrics scrolling area, the middle is the song cover picture, and the bottom is the song name and singer name. Users can like, comment and share. Click the scroll lyrics area to switch to full-screen lyrics mode.

Support sound quality selection, support music download

Soda music supports the sound quality selection function, but there is no direct button to switch the sound quality in the song playing interface, so you have to set the default play online sound quality in the setting interface. At present, there are several kinds of sound quality, such as automatic, extremely high, high and standard. Soda music supports music download function, but at present, members are required to download it.

I found that it is not enough for the channel to watch the list of classified songs.

In the "Discovery" channel of soda music, users can check the classification of music stations, song list recommendation, hot song list, new song list and global list. Compared with similar software, the few three list pairs are really few.

Music search music library contains less music.

If you don’t like the songs recommended by soda music, let’s search for songs. Soda music supports searching for music by singer, song name and album name.

Xiaobian tested it. At present, there are still a few songs included in soda music. For example, Jacky Cheung’s songs are not bad, while Jay Chou’s songs are pitiful, and they are chorus music. Most of them need members to listen.

Users can also view and listen to the music collected in Tik Tok here, but many songs are still in a state of "no sound source" and cannot be listened to. Similarly, the song list generated by soda music can also be found in Tik Tok, but there are still many songs that can only be listened to for 30 seconds on Tik Tok.

At present, the music library of soda music needs to be expanded urgently, and there are almost no novel functions to attract users’ attention. As a newcomer, soda music needs more efforts. In addition, soda music does not show "soda", at least take a bubble on the startup page _!

Lotus incoming plug-in hybrid: "Luyao" super hybrid technology released, with a battery life of over 1,100 kilometers.

On November 14th, Lotus released "the first in the industry" today."Luyao", a Million-class Super Hybrid Power Technology with Super 900V, can achieveComprehensive cruising range of over 1100km, with 5C flash charging capability- Plug-in flash chargingAbility andAutonomous flash charging during driving. According to the plan, the future models of Lotus will be equipped with this super hybrid technology.

The official said that in dynamic driving, vehicles equipped with this technology can also be realized.The charging speed is 5 times as fast as the discharging speed.Energy-supplementing efficiency. However, the official has not announced the specific application time and more parameter information of this technology, and IT House will keep an eye on it and bring follow-up reports.

In September this year, Feng Qingfeng, CEO of Lotus Group, thought that extended range technology was not suitable for Lotus. At that time, he said in an interview with the media, "I think the biggest problem with extended range is that the engine does not participate in driving. It is wasteful to use the engine only as a generator. It can be completely driven by the engine. Both electricity and oil are involved in the drive, and the horsepower will be even greater. Second, I think there is another disadvantage of extended range, that is, it consumes a lot of power at high speed. "

Configuration and power upgrade! Which of the 2025 seals is the most worthwhile?

The competition in the new energy vehicle market is becoming more and more fierce, and consumers’ requirements for new energy vehicles are getting higher and higher.

BYD Seals (parameter picture), as the flagship model of BYD Ocean Network, won the recognition of consumers in the market with its excellent product strength and marketing strategy at the beginning of listing, and obtained good sales, but soon the sales volume declined rapidly. In July, the sales volume did not exceed 1,000 units, but in August, 2025 Seals were launched, with a price of 17.58-23.98 million yuan, which was very important for power. After Huanxin is listed, can the sales of 2025 seals improve?

The 2025 Seals upgraded from E-platform 3.0 to E-platform 3.0 Evo. The whole system comes standard with SiC silicon carbide and FSD variable suspension. Some models are equipped with lidar, and an 800V high-voltage fast charging platform is also provided. How to choose the four models of the 2025 Seal? Let’s take a look together.

First look at the 510 standard version with a price of 175,800. Equipped with 13 airbags, lane departure warning, active braking, door opening warning, front and rear collision warning, variable suspension, front and rear parking radar, 360-degree panoramic image, transparent chassis, full-speed adaptive cruise, L2-level driving assistance, lane keeping assistance, automatic parking, automatic lane change assistance, 6kW external discharge, front and rear sound insulation glass, mobile phone wireless charging function, front seat ventilation/heating, and so on. Automatic air conditioning, temperature zone control, car air purifier and other configurations can be said to be everything, but the battery life is short, and the fast charging power is also the lowest in the whole department, which is more suitable for consumers with limited budget who buy daily transportation in cities.

For an extra 14,000 yuan, you can buy a 650-long battery life version, which is equipped with 19-inch wheels, seat welcome, electric trunk, rear privacy glass, simulated sound, car KTV, 220V power supply in the car, lumbar support for the driver and passenger (4-way), electric seat memory for the driver’s seat, 12-speaker Dana stereo, multi-color atmosphere lights, etc. The comfort is improved, and the power is stronger, 100 kilometers.

Let’s take a look at the 650 Smart Driving Edition with a price of 216,800 yuan. Compared with the 650 long-life version, it is 27,000 yuan more expensive, with one more laser radar, signal light recognition, automatic driving on urban/expressway sections, automatic parking service, leather steering wheel, steering wheel heating, 12-inch HUD head-up digital display, in-car fragrance device and other configurations, which are suitable for consumers with sufficient budget and requirements for science and technology.

In the end, you can buy the top-of-the-line 600 four-wheel drive intelligent driving version with an additional 23,000 yuan. With the dual-motor four-wheel drive system, the acceleration of 100 kilometers is 2.1s faster, but the battery life is shortened from 650km to 600km. In addition, Yunqi -C sports style seats with damping and fur-turning materials are added, which are suitable for users with sufficient budget and higher performance requirements.

On the whole, among the four models of 2025 Seals, the most recommended model is the 650 long-life version. You can choose the model that suits you according to your own budget and preferences.

China’s Ten Years China Story | Yunnan: Depicting a new picture of harmonious coexistence between man and nature.

  Xinhua News Agency, Kunming, September 26th Title: Yunnan: depicting a new picture of harmonious coexistence between man and nature

  Xinhua News Agency reporter Wang Changshan Li Huaiyan Zheng Bofei Zhao Peiran

  From protecting Yunnan golden monkey to stopping the construction of hydropower station for green peacock, from Asian elephant returning to the north and south to hundreds of millions of butterfly outbreaks … … In the past ten years, the population of many rare and endangered animals and plants in Yunnan has increased, the distribution area has increased and expanded, and the story of harmonious coexistence between man and nature has been constantly staged.

  Yunnan, which has the reputation of "animal and plant kingdom" and "species gene bank", accounts for 4.1% of the country’s land area. The number of biological species in all major groups is close to or more than half of the number of similar species in China, and many species are only distributed in Yunnan.

  The data shows that the number of Asian elephants in Yunnan has increased to more than 360, and the number of Yunnan golden monkey has increased to about 3,800. Flagship species such as green peacock and white-browed gibbon have also achieved steady growth. Thirty species of extremely small population plants, such as the "giant panda" Hua Gaimu, have been rescued from the threat of extinction by in-situ protection, ex-situ protection or breeding return.

  public participation

  In June this year, butterflies in Honghe Butterfly Valley in Jinping County, Yunnan Province entered an outbreak period, with a total number of more than 100 million. The butterflies flying all over the sky formed a seasonal landscape that is rare in the world.

  In order to protect this precious landscape, Jinping County issued the regulations on the protection and management of Butterfly Valley, invited experts and scholars from the industry to come to Butterfly Valley for scientific research, studied biodiversity-related protection measures, and organized the compilation of popular science books on butterfly protection, so that children could establish the awareness of protecting biodiversity at an early age.

  The villagers in Ma ‘andi Township spontaneously set up a colorful butterfly professional cooperative. Wu Ziwen, a villager engaged in butterfly breeding, said that butterflies are a gift from nature. Now more and more villagers are involved in butterfly protection, and there are more and more kinds of butterflies.

  In Mankelao Village, Kangping Town, Jiangcheng County, Pu ‘er City, villagers Diao Faxing’s task is to monitor, track and observe elephants. "Elephants can feel people’s goodwill, so they are not afraid to be close to people now." Yan Faxing said. In Jiangcheng County, there are 10 elephant monitors like him.

  Yu Xiaode, a villager in Xiangguqing Village, Tacheng Town, Diqing Prefecture, who is over 60 years old, goes up the mountain at 8 o’clock in the morning and down the mountain at 4 o’clock in the afternoon. He has become "friends" with the Yunnan golden monkey in the mountain and clearly remembers the name and cry of each monkey. Once a hunter, he is now an ecological ranger and monkey keeper.

  Yu Xiaode said that the villagers used to make a living by hunting and logging, and the destruction of their habitat reduced the number of monkeys. In order to save the endangered Yunnan golden monkey, Baima Snow Mountain National Nature Reserve combines protection with the survival and development of surrounding residents to promote the restorative growth of Yunnan golden monkey population.

  "At the beginning of the construction of the reserve, the population of Yunnan golden monkey was less than 500." He said that there are now more than 2,300 Yunnan golden monkeys distributed in the reserve.

  In Xiangguqing Village alone, there are dozens of forest rangers guarding the mountain forest. Farming and the income of rangers have solved the problem of increasing their income. According to the introduction of Yunnan Forestry and Grassland Bureau, 183,000 ecological rangers have been employed in the province, and a normalized monitoring system has been established for flagship species such as Asian elephant, green peacock, Yunnan golden monkey and Gaoligong white-browed gibbon.

  Guarding habitat

  Cao Yongheng, inspector of the Yunnan Provincial Department of Ecology and Environment, said that Yunnan is committed to building a scientific and reasonable nature reserve system. In the past ten years, 90% of the typical ecosystems and 80% of the key protected wildlife species in the province have been effectively protected.

  The data shows that there are 362 nature reserves in Yunnan, accounting for 14.32% of the province’s total area. Efforts are made to form a protected area structure with national parks as the main body, nature reserves as the foundation and natural parks as the supplement.

  In the hometown of huagaimu, a rare and endangered plant, the nature reserve successfully saved this endangered tree species called "plant giant panda" through in-situ protection.

  According to Wu Daiqiong, director of the Management and Protection Branch of Xichou County National Nature Reserve, due to the lack of mature seeds and low natural regeneration ability, the reproductive ability of the Chinese cover wood population is weak. Previously, there were only 52 wild huagai trees, so it was necessary to introduce and cultivate them artificially, and then transplant them back to their original place after they survived.

  In the past ten years, hundreds of Cephalotaxus sinensis plants have been transplanted back to their original places through artificial cross-pollination of Cephalotaxus sinensis.

  As the only native peacock in China, Green Peacock is distributed in the west of Yunnan, with a population of about 600, which is an extremely endangered species. Among them, about 300 green peacocks live in Shuangbai Dinosaur River State Nature Reserve.

  Because the hydropower projects on Shuangbai and Xinping rivers may affect the green peacock habitat, on December 31, 2020, following the relevant laws on environmental resources protection, the Yunnan Higher People’s Court ruled in the second instance that the construction project of Jiasajiang I Hydropower Station, which may cause great risks to the green peacock habitat, should be stopped immediately. The trial of this case, with the concept of "protection first, prevention first", saved the home on which the green peacock depended.

  James Thornton, founder and CEO of Klines European Environmental Protection Association (UK), said that the Yunnan Green Peacock case is a landmark case with demonstration significance to the whole world.

  a community of life

  As the second batch of integrated protection and restoration projects of landscape, forest, field, lake, grass and sand in China, the water quality of Erhai Lake in Dali has become an important touchstone for biodiversity protection in Yunnan.

  Cauliflower is the main ingredient of Dali Bai nationality’s "seaweed taro soup", which once spread all over the surface of Erhai Lake. The growth of cauliflower needs excellent water quality, and the turbid water environment and eutrophication of water quality will limit the survival of cauliflower.

  However, due to the population growth and pollution around the lake, seaweed was not seen in Erhai Lake for a time. Simomo, a villager from Jiapeng Village who grew up near Erhai Lake, planted several cauliflower plants in a small pond at home, hoping to leave traces of them.

  In order to retain the beautiful scenery of Erhai Lake, during the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" period, Dali invested a total of 32.98 billion yuan to control Erhai Lake, vacated 1,029 mu of coastal land, and built an ecological corridor around the lake and a lakeside buffer zone … …

  In recent years, the main water quality of Erhai Lake has gradually improved, and the water quality has remained in Class II for a long time, and seaweed has returned to Erhai Lake. Nowadays, Simomo often looks at the clear water of Erhai Lake at home and tells the story of seaweed to tourists.

  In Xishuangbanna, some once hard-to-find traditional Dai medicinal materials have also returned to nature. For a long time, almost every Dai village will protect a water source forest, which is a biodiversity community full of Dai medicinal materials.

  "Zhu Jiao can cure stomachache, and ships can clear fire and detoxify … …” Yan Jiao, a villager in Mandian Village, said that the villagers increased their income by planting traditional Dai medicine under the forest, and their enthusiasm for protecting the forest was higher.

  In 2021, with the participation and promotion of the United Nations Development Programme, the Global Environment Facility and other organizations, Xishuangbanna launched a pilot project of "establishing and implementing a national framework for the acquisition and benefit sharing of genetic resources and related traditional knowledge", which promoted the application of Dai medicine and made exploration and practice in strengthening the utilization and benefit sharing of biological genetic resources.

  At present, the forest coverage rate in Xishuangbanna is 81.3%. "Where there is forest, there is water; where there is water, there is field; where there is field, there is food; where there is food, there is people." This proverb circulating in the local area interprets the simplest concept of harmonious coexistence between man and nature. (Video reporter: Sun Min Wang Haowei)

Do you believe it? Deng Chao has been preparing for the role of "Galaxy Cram School" for 40 years


1905 movie network news Crying and laughing all the way, the national roadshow of the film came to an end in Tianjin on July 14. As the final stop, the audience of Yudu praised the film as a "beacon of parent-child education". The film has been screened ahead of time, and more than 500,000 people have tried early adopters in advance. The major platforms have been praised for "capture" in an instant: the cat’s eye platform scored 9.4 points, and rose to 9.5 in a short time; the ticket rating of the lottery is also above 9 points, and the word-of-mouth leader in the summer is well deserved. "Galaxy Tutorial School" is directed by Deng Chao and Yu Baimei, and will be officially released nationwide on July 18.

 

"I found the target of my life"

The most touching part of "Galaxy Tutoring School" is that Ma Haowen in the film encourages his son to find the "target" of life, to insist on independent thinking, and to know what kind of person he wants to become. A thought-provoking dialogue in the film: Ma Haowen asks his son what your future goals are. After receiving the reply from "Tsinghua Peking University", Ma Haowen said: "Tsinghua Peking University is just a process, not a goal. You have to think clearly about what kind of person you want to be." During the roadshow, countless audience members expressed that they were moved by this line. "People have to live out themselves and stick to themselves. This movie is the beacon of parent-child education."

In Tianjin, several viewers shared similar experiences after watching the film. One viewer, who majored in land resource management but switched to design, said: "I used to only listen to my parents and get good grades. Now I work in a job that is not related to my major after graduation, but I feel very happy. I have found what I really want to do." Another viewer quit the journalism industry to become a photographer because he liked photography. Although he was not understood by his parents at first, "I have always done what I like, and my parents have slowly accepted it." Director Yu Baimei, who used to be a computer major, is now a famous director and screenwriter in China. He is like Ma Fei in the movie, because of his love, he insists on making the movie dream a reality.

Deng Chao "prepared for 40 years" for this role

With the release just around the corner, the two directors are very emotional. The director Yu Baimei mentioned that he and Deng Chao are both fathers, and the film is actually a poem they dedicated to their children. "Our wife has been making all kinds of designs for the future of our children, and has all kinds of worries about their lives, but the father brings many different things to the children. Making this movie is actually dedicated to the father and pays tribute to the father." The concept of "happy education" in the film touched many parents. The director said: "Pure happiness is empty. It is necessary to always let the child ask himself what he wants to do in the future, to be the person he wants to do, and to do what he wants to do. This is true happiness. Only the happiness of having an arrow target is true happiness."

As a father, playing the role of a father, Deng Chao has actually been "preparing for 40 years" for this role. Even when Deng Chao put on old-age makeup and walked to the camera, the entire crew was moved and felt that he was a real old father. Although the film is simple, it is deeply moving. "This is a movie dedicated to my father, but also to my children. I want him to know what my father is doing."

Trumpet traveler Shanhai T1 real shot, comprehensive power of 450kW, electric four-wheel drive rear axle lock.

Whose "square shell" is the hottest? You must say yes, but it’s obviously a dark horse. It sold 73,000 vehicles in six months, and easily achieved a monthly sales of over 10,000, which is quite rare for a brand-new model. With this momentum, another "square shell" has been brought-Shanhai T1, a compact light off-road SUV with a new car positioning, which is more entry-level and adopts C-DM super hybrid power. It is expected to be officially launched in the fourth quarter of this year.

In terms of appearance, Shanhai T1 continues the classic design style of Jietu family’s "square shell". The front air intake grille has a luminous design, and the light strips on both sides are connected with the square headlight groups on both sides. The overall feeling is similar to that of Jietu travelers. The interior of the headlight adopts a novel petal-shaped design, which makes the whole front look more exquisite. The bumper and the lower enclosure are made of black resin, in which the bumper is designed with typical off-road elements, and the fog lamps on both sides are LED light sources.

On the side of the car body, Shanhai T1 highlights the taste of hard-core SUV as much as possible. The front and rear fenders yearn for the uplift to show the sense of strength, and the wheel eyebrow lights are not absent. At the same time, it is also equipped with the original side pedal, which is full of strength. In addition, the wheel hub adopts a 19-inch double-color multi-banner "Y" shape and matches the original AT tire. As for the body size, the length of the car has reached 4.7 meters and the wheelbase has reached 2.8 meters. The specific information needs to be officially announced.

In the rear part, Shanhai T1 continues the tough design style, and the overall shape echoes the front face. In order to increase the layering of the tail, the bright black trim strips outline a large rectangular square, which forms a novel penetrating design with the taillights. In addition, the shape of the taillight group is basically the same as that of the headlight, with a square design and a four-point petal light source in the lamp cavity. The tail Jetway logo also adopts luminous design, which further enhances the recognition of the tail.

In the interior, Shanhai T1 still adopts the design style of hard-core SUV. The center console has a T-shaped layout. The center console is equipped with a large-size floating screen, and the physical buttons with common functions are reserved below. The center console of the co-pilot is also intimately equipped with handrails. The handle area is designed in layers, and the upper layer has large-size electronic lever, wireless charging panel, driving mode adjustment knob and rear axle lock. The lower floor is a large space storage compartment, and charging interfaces are integrated on the left and right sides in front to facilitate the power demand of the main and auxiliary drivers.

The space in the back row is still ample, and the seat design is relatively thick. Configuration, there are functions such as rear air conditioning air outlet, dual-port charging interface and seat heating. Therefore, although Shanhai T1 positioning is more introductory, it has not shrunk in space and configuration, and the common functions are basically complete.

In terms of power, Shanhai T1 will be equipped with a C-DM super hybrid system, and the engine is a Chery 1.5TGDI hybrid engine, which matches the first-speed DHT gearbox. In addition, it also has the function of electric four-wheel drive, which can reach 450kW, ensuring the vehicle’s ability to get out of trouble and driving stability under extreme road conditions.

More than 1,600 Wuhan Didi drivers have been awarded the title of "anti-epidemic pioneer"

  On the morning of May 8, Didi held a touching event at its driver training center in Wuhan. Ten drivers from Didi’s Wuhan medical team and community security team received the "Anti-Epidemic Pioneer" honorary certificate on behalf of more than 1,600 partners who had fought together in the front line of the anti-epidemic.

  The driver representative receives the "Anti-Epidemic Pioneer" honorary certificate

  There were also medical representatives from Wuhan Municipal Health Commission, Wuhan Municipal Passenger Management Office and major hospitals at the scene, who were also strugglers against the "epidemic". The meeting of the driver representative and the medical representative again was no longer a hasty taxi to the hospital to work, nor a tired car ride home, but a warm scene of face-to-face gratitude with a relaxed attitude.

  Master Du Chuan’s daughter sent a painting to express her gratitude to the medical representative

  Du Chuan’s daughter also came to the scene and sent a painting of her own to the medical representatives to pay tribute to the medical workers. Du Chuan was a native of Wuhan. After the traffic control in Wuhan, he took the initiative to join the Didi Community Security Team and the team masters to take up the burden of ensuring the emergency travel of community residents, such as sending dialysis patients for medical treatment, sending supplies to the elderly living alone, and helping community staff to do home investigations.

  Starting from January 23, Didi established a first-line headquarters in Wuhan, and established two security fleets of Wuhan medical fleets and community fleets, with a total of 16 hospitals and nearly 20,000 healthcare workers providing nearly 500,000 single services; providing nearly 150,000 services for 402 community citizens.

  On April 30, online car-hailing returned to Wuhan, and Didi Hitch and driving services also started services in Wuhan at the same time. According to the news released by the Enterprise Services Group of the Hubei Provincial Epidemic prevention and control Command, the proportion of online car-hailing operations in Hubei has reached 98.1%. Although the current online car-hailing orders have not returned to the pre-epidemic level, and drivers’ income has not yet reached the pre-epidemic level, many drivers expressed confidence in the future as the epidemic stabilizes.

  Zhou Dayan, deputy director of the Wuhan Passenger Taxi Management Department, said that Didi masters have always adhered to the original intention of providing convenience for citizens to travel, escorting every service demand during the special period, and writing an extraordinary anti-epidemic story in ordinary positions.

  Li Guanghui, director of the Emergency Management Department of Wuhan Municipal Health Commission, and representatives of Wuhan University People’s Hospital, City Fourth Hospital, and Zhongnan Hospital also expressed their heartfelt gratitude to the Didi masters for their efforts. The drivers’ efforts have also won recognition from major hospitals in Wuhan and from all walks of life. I hope to convey this gratitude and affirmation to the drivers.

  Wang Xinping, head of Didi Chuxing’s Wuhan region, said that although the service of Didi Wuhan medical fleet and community fleet has come to an end for the time being, Didi’s service heart will not stop. In order to make the daily travel of medical workers more convenient, Didi will upgrade its ride-hailing account to Didi Diamond membership. Medical workers enjoy faster ride-hailing and more affordable car use, including free upgrades, quick response, exclusive package discounts, and exclusive rights and interests in various categories such as green and orange bicycles and Didi driving. Didi will also launch a one-month exclusive subsidy for Wuhan Didi drivers to "fight the epidemic and overcome difficulties" to help drivers recover their income.

Hengda’s Tianjin factory is temporarily suspended, and the cumulative delivery of Hengchi 5 is less than 1,000 vehicles

  China Economic Net April 26th (reporter, Guo Yue) April 24th, Hengda Automobile (stock code: 00708.HK) announced that the company will sell its 47 health space projects to China Hengda Group at a price of 2 yuan, in order to focus more on the development of new energy vehicles. The announcement also disclosed that due to lack of funds, Hengda Tianjin factory has temporarily suspended production of Hengchi 5, and is expected toMayResume production.

  Specifically, Hengda Automobile said that the sale of the health space project is due to the huge capital demand involved in the new energy vehicle project, coupled with the current situation of Hengda Group, so continuing to invest resources in the health space project is not in line with the group’s overall deleveraging strategy, and may also limit the development of new energy vehicles. The company hopes to achieve more focused and professional development of new energy vehicles by reducing its holdings of non-main business assets.

  The announcement also said that due to insufficient funds, Hengda’s Tianjin factory will temporarily suspend production of Hengchi 5 and is expected toMayResume production. According to Hengda Automobile’s announcement on March 22, as of the announcement date, the company has delivered more than 900 Hengchi 5 vehicles to users.
