Li Liang: How can the East and the West communicate and dialogue under the same starry sky?

  China News Agency, Beijing, October 26th: Under the same starry sky, how can the East and the West carry out exchanges and dialogues?

  - Interview with Li Liang, a researcher at the Institute of Natural Science History of the Chinese Academy of Sciences

  Authors, Xu Jing, Du Yan

  From ancient times to the present, the mysterious and magnificent vast starry sky has attracted the attention of different human civilizations on earth. "Chasing dreams and galaxies" is not only the romantic feelings of ordinary people, but also the pursuit of people’s careers for thousands of years. "The calendar is like the sun, moon and stars, and the time of the people is honored". People’s observation activities of the starry sky are closely related to production and life, resulting in a number of great inventions, which promote the development of science and technology.

  Li Liang, a researcher at the Institute of Natural Science History of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, recently accepted an exclusive interview with China News Agency’s "East-West Question", tracing how human beings go from looking up at the starry sky to space step by step, telling how the East and the West communicate and dialogue around the same starry sky, explaining the role of "looking up at the starry sky" in promoting scientific progress and the development of civilization for thousands of years, and why human beings will continue their journey to the sea of stars to explore the boundless universe.

  A summary of the interview is as follows:

  China News Agency reporter: Why do humans observe the starry sky? When did astronomical records begin?

  Li Liang:The history of humans looking up at the starry sky is very early, dating back thousands or even tens of thousands of years. Astronomical observations can be said to have originated from some of the most basic human questions, such as "who are we" and "where do we come from".

  Archaeological evidence suggests that ancient Chinese astronomical observation activities date back at least to the Neolithic period. In the 1970s, a batch of Neolithic painted pottery with patterns of the sun, moon and stars was unearthed in Dahe Village, Zhengzhou, Henan Province, which was determined to be about 4,000 to 6,000 years ago. The discovery of the site of the Tao Temple Observatory in Shanxi Province confirms that there was an official observatory in China at least 4,000 years ago. It is currently one of the earliest observatories in the world discovered by archaeology.

  From the existing archaeological and historical data, it can be seen that since about the 8th century BC, humans have had a relatively systematic celestial record.

  The magnificent starry sky has always attracted the attention of different human civilizations on earth, but only ancient Babylon, ancient China, and European and Arab civilizations after the Middle Ages have left a rich legacy of astronomical records. Especially after the decline of ancient Babylon, between 50 BC and 800 AD, China became almost the only country that has been diligent in observing and recording celestial phenomena for a long time. Most of the surviving celestial records from this period also came from China.

  Astronomy has many applications and is a very useful science. From a modern perspective, the accuracy and complexity achieved by ancient astronomy far exceeded that of other ancient natural sciences.

  China News Agency reporter: Why does the same starry sky form different constellations in the east and the west? Why is the star map called "the epitome of the world at that time"?

  Li Liang:For thousands of years, people in different regions have looked up at the same starry sky, but have their own understanding and interpretation of the starry sky.

  Almost every ancient civilization had its own constellation system. The modern constellation system we still use today originated in Mesopotamia 5,000 years ago. At that time, the Sumerians had learned how to use stars to distinguish time and season. Gradually, in order to facilitate memory, they connected different stars and imagined familiar patterns. This is the origin of constellations. Later, constellation observations here were further developed, spreading to the surrounding areas such as ancient Greece and ancient Egypt, and influencing the surrounding civilizations. In the 2nd century AD, the ancient Greek astronomer Ptolemy summed up 48 constellations on the basis of his predecessors. This is the basic prototype of the modern constellation system. It can be said that Western traditional constellations were produced on the basis of long-term mutual exchanges and integration of multiple civilizations, and are the crystallization of the wisdom of early agricultural and animal husbandry civilizations and maritime civilizations.

  Among the four ancient civilizations, only the Chinese civilization has continued to this day. Ancient China had its own theoretical system for dividing and naming the sky, and the constellations were usually called "star officials". The star official system took shape at the latest in the Warring States period, which was composed of the North Star and the Big Dipper, as well as the twenty-eight constellations in the Yellow Equatorial Belt. During the Three Kingdoms period, Chen Zhuo further determined the star official system of 283 star officials and 1,464 stars, which became the standard for the star official system in ancient China in the future. In the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, people added some constellations translated from the West, and eventually formed about 300 star officials.

  Unlike traditional Western constellations, which are mainly based on myths and legends, the ancient Chinese star official system can be said to be a reflection of society and culture in the sky, with unique cultural connotations. When Zhang Heng described ancient star officials in the Eastern Han Dynasty, he believed: "In the wild elephants, in the court elephants, in officials, in people and things, so it is ready." Therefore, most of China’s star names are named after artifacts, official names, and personnel, and the sky has become a microcosm of all aspects of the ancient world, social systems, and humanistic customs.

  In order to use and spread constellations, the ancients drew them on different materials, gradually forming the later star map. Star maps are not only a way for people to understand and record the starry sky, but also an important tool for studying and learning astronomy. They contain the infinite wisdom and imagination of human beings and are a microcosm of human exploration of the universe.

  Star maps were also known as astronomical maps in ancient China. There were many types of star maps in ancient China, which were exquisitely and meticulously drawn. They were an important achievement of scientific civilization and were rare in world history.

  China News Agency: As an important part of science, has Chinese and foreign astronomy exchanged ideas and learned from each other in the process of development?

  Li Liang:Astronomy has been a very important subject since ancient times. Among the four major sciences of heaven, arithmetic, agriculture and medicine in ancient China, astronomy was responsible for the important task of "chronicling the sun, moon and stars, and honoring the time of the people", which was closely related to production and life.

  The astronomical calendar occupied a pivotal position in the political system of ancient China, and was even enshrined as an official "orthodox" school for a long time. Therefore, official institutions dedicated to observing celestial phenomena and compiling calendars emerged. This way of operation played a positive role in promoting the development of Chinese astronomy, making China a country where astronomical observation activities have never been interrupted among many ancient civilizations, thus leaving a rich astronomical heritage.

  In his History of Science and Technology in China, Joseph Needham, a British historian of science, quoted Sutton and other historians of science: "From the Middle Ages until the end of the 14th century, there was no star map other than China."

  The ancient Chinese star map spread to Japan and the Korean Peninsula, forming a unique astrological system shared by the entire East Asia region. It was also one of the important links for the dissemination of ancient science and culture. In addition, the Xuanming Calendar of the Tang Dynasty was used in Japan for 823 years, making it one of the longest-lived calendars in history. The official calendar of the Korean Sejong period (1418-1450), the "Seven Political Calculations", was compiled on the basis of the "Giving Time Calendar" of the Yuan Dynasty and the "Datong Calendar" of the Ming Dynasty.

  It can be said that under the historical and social background of "books and texts", ancient China developed an "Eastern astronomy system" that was different from that of the West, and formed a strong cultural identity in East Asia and other regions. At the same time, the astronomical exchanges and exchanges among Eastern civilizations further promoted the formation and development of Eastern astronomy traditions.

  Civilizations are colorful because of exchanges, and civilizations are enriched because of mutual learning. In the course of the development of astronomy, China has its own continuous export and special contribution, and has always been a broad-minded and inclusive of all kinds of excellent foreign science and culture. China has also introduced astronomy knowledge from outside the region many times in history, three of which are relatively large. Liang Qichao pointed out in "The Academic History of China in the Near Three Hundred Years": "Arithmetic is very developed in China in ancient times, but it has been improved every time under the influence of foreign countries. The first is the Brahman method in the Tang Dynasty, the second is the Huihui method in the Yuan Dynasty, and the third is the Western method passed down by the Jesuits in the Ming and Qing Dynasties."

  China News Agency reporter: What role does ancient Chinese astronomical records play today? What impact does the development of astronomy have on the development of human society?

  Li Liang:Ancient China had made brilliant achievements in astronomical observation and accumulated a large amount of astronomical data. Needham once commented: "The Chinese astronomical records show that the Chinese were the most persistent and accurate astronomical observers in the world before the Arabs." "Modern astronomers have turned to these Chinese astronomical records on many occasions to obtain valuable results."

  Among the objects of modern astronomy research, many are about the evolution of celestial bodies and the universe, and the time range involved is extremely long. The precious historical materials we have accumulated are of great value. For example, there are thousands of records of solar and lunar eclipses in ancient China, which are very valuable for studying the changes in the speed of the earth’s rotation. For example, ancient Chinese records of comets, novae and supernovae, as well as sunspots, played an irreplaceable role. In the 1950s, Xi Zezong, one of the pioneers of the history of Chinese science, published the "New Table of Ancient Novae", which took full advantage of the great superiority of ancient China in complete, continuous and accurate astronomical observation data, and recorded the record of nova and supernova explosions in Chinese history, which won a reputation for the history of Chinese astronomy, the history of science and even the Chinese people.

  No matter in ancient times or modern times, astronomy is the "vanguard" of scientific development. The countless questions that humans look up at the starry sky have not only promoted the development of astronomy, but also promoted the development of science and technology and civilization.

  In recent years, a number of new achievements have emerged in Chinese astronomy: the "Guo Shoujing Telescope" has helped reveal more mysteries about the Milky Way, and the "China Sky Eye" has played an important role in neutral hydrogen universe research, pulsar search and physics research. Currently, the China Sky Survey Space Telescope, the "Taiji Project", and the Square Kilometer Array Radio Telescope are advancing.

  Once upon a time, "Yi invited the medicine of immortality to the Queen Mother of the West, and Huo’e stole it to fly to the moon." Today, the moon has become an important exploration target in China’s aerospace field, with a very romantic name – "Chang’e Project"; once, Qu Yuan used a series of questions in "Tianwen" to ask and think about the origin of the entire universe. Now, the "Tianwen 1" probe and the "Zhurong" rover are providing important scientific basis for in-depth understanding of Mars; once, "Kuafu exceeded his strength and wanted to chase the sun." Now, China’s comprehensive solar exploration satellite "Kuafu 1" has been launched into space, starting a journey to explore the sun.

  The above results demonstrate that some of the major developments China has made in the fields of astronomy and aerospace have reached the international advanced or leading level.

  There are still many unsolved mysteries in the universe waiting to be explored. In distant places, there are pioneers of human civilization who represent the curiosity of human civilization and move forward all the way. In the future, China and other countries in the world will face the same sea of stars and trace the origin of mankind and the universe through the joint efforts of generations. (End)

  Taiwan’s "rock poet" Wu Bai has appeared in Beijing, where he will hold a "You Are My Flower" concert at the Beijing Workers’ Stadium on the 18th.


  China News Service, March 17, Taiwan’s "rock poet" Wu Baijin appeared in Beijing, and on the 18th he will hold a "You are my flower" concert at the Beijing Workers’ Gymnasium.


  At the press conference on the 17th, Wu Bai said that he will make a new attempt, performing "flower dance", "fire dance" and "zombie dance" on the stage, which have swept Hong Kong and Taiwan in earlier performances and caused repercussions.


  Wu Bai is not good at dancing. The flower dance, a self-made retro dance move that exceeds expectations, he said, is simple, and "dancing to the beat" can bring different simple happiness. According to reports, the flower dance spread quickly through the Internet, and three or five young friends from Hong Kong and Taiwan danced a few beats when they were frolicking to express stress, which has a direct joy and inspiration in dull times.


  The "Wubai 2008’You Are My Flower ‘Beijing Concert" will include his important songs for 15 years. The organizers said that the concert will combine different musical elements such as coldness, electronic sound, rock, retro, warmth and touching. The tracks are matched with "rock and lyric, classic with nostalgia, cold and passionate."


  This concert features a special guest, Alan Tam, and two powerful figures in the music world will compete on the same stage.

Seven things you don’t know about the Great Wall gun off-road pickup truck

The great wall gun off-road pickup truck was launched after the commercial and passenger models, which also filled all the market segments of its own pickup truck models, and also filled the gap in the off-road field of independent pickup trucks. At the listing meeting, the official mentioned the situation of "changing the joint venture off-road pickup truck to dominate the market". Yes, the pickup truck models that can take into account the off-road capability in the pickup truck market are nothing more than large pickups such as Raptor and Smooth Road. The price of 400,000 to 500,000 yuan is not something that all fans can casually consume. In comparison, the Great Wall Cannon off-road pickup truck with a top price of less than 200,000 yuan is very close to the people.

Last November, I experienced the trial loading of the Great Wall Gun off-road pickup truck in Alashan Heroes’ Club, and this time I came to Shangri-La to try the final production model. Combining these two test drives, I will focus on the details of the Great Wall Gun off-road pickup truck for everyone. If you are interested in this car after listening to the price, you might as well spend ten minutes listening to me chanting these details.

# The power is weaker than the normal version, not because of the weight.

Many media teachers in the same trade spoke out about the initial power output of the off-road pickup truck of the Great Wall Gun, and even the vehicles that stepped on the accelerator pedal deeply in the ramp experienced a lack of power. Did you not have this problem in the previous test drive of the ordinary version of the Great Wall Gun?After all, the powertrain and book parameters are the same. I communicated with the technical staff of the manufacturer for this problem.

The reason why the initial power is weak and the power can’t explode mainly comes from the intake system. The black pipe protruding from the fender on the co-pilot side can be called sand collecting cup, wading throat and high intake. I believe that many friends who like cross-country are very envious when they see the high-position air intake assembled by the original factory, butThe off-road pickup truck with high exhaust usually has a direct impact on power.Moreover, the sound of air intake will be very obvious when the vehicle is driving, especially when running at high speed. Someone here will definitely say, what are you talking about NVH? But I tell you responsibly,After installing high air intake, this noise is absolutely impossible for you to ignore.

In addition, after opening the engine compartment cover, you will see that the volume of the pipeline and the whole system of the left air intake system is not large. To be honest, it is a little small, which also affects the air intake to some extent.Although it is not too late for the access point with the largest torque to start from 1800 rpm, due to the influence of air intake, it is usually necessary to wait until the engine speed reaches 2500 rpm before the torque can intervene, which makes everyone feel that the power of vehicles below 2500 rpm cannot get up.Especially on off-road sections, even if the throttle is slowly output during climbing, it is also related to our test drive location (3,300m above sea level). However, if you enter Tibetan areas, the altitude of many places will be close to or even exceed 5,000m. Will there be car owners changing the air intake system in the future?

The Good and Bad of # 9500lb Electric Winch

The sub-top and top-top models are equipped with 9500-pound electric winches, which are hidden inside the front bumper. Most of the winches used by friends who often cross-country are more than 10000 pounds. Do you want to ask me if this 9500-pound winch is enough to pull more than two tons of Great Wall gun off-road pickup trucks? I can say that it is enough responsibly, but it should be divided into scenes. If you get stuck in the mud, 9500 pounds may be a little hard. The electric winch is hidden in the front bumper, so it doesn’t seem to have a sense of disobedience, and it is easy to use. Just disassemble the partitions on both sides. butIf the plastic buckle of the clapboard is used more often, it is easy to buckle loosely, and it is easy to loosen in the off-road section with strong strength. Moreover, whether the plastic clapboard will become brittle and easily broken in the cold environment has not been tested yet.

Furthermore, the hidden winch is placed behind the license plate frame. In actual use, if the angle of the cable is upward when the vehicle is towed at a lower position, it may also push against the license plate frame, which may cause the license plate frame to fall off or deform.

Friends who often cross will install a rear winch at the rear bumper if conditions permit, so that the front and rear of the car can get out of trouble in extreme cases. There is still a large space at the rear bumper of this car, and the next mainstream winch can be placed without destroying the original bumper, but we must pay attention to the volume.Don’t affect the normal placement of the license plate. If the position of the license plate rack changes, it should be noted that the license plate should be loaded on the main body of the vehicle and fixed at four o’clock, and it should not be designed as a movable type that can be lifted, otherwise 12 points will be deducted directly.

Experience of using AT tire of # Bailuchi KO2 and nitrogen shock absorber of K-MAN.

Our test drive is a limited edition model with a price of 199,800 yuan, which is the top version.The most direct difference in appearance from the middle and low models is the red calipers and AT tires of Bailuchi KO2. The tires of the middle model are Cooper Discover AT3 series tires, but the flat cover of the trunk is not standard, and the optional cost is 7000 yuan.

Let’s start with the AT tire of Bailuchi KO2. It is estimated that friends who like cross-country and cross-country have been exposed to the tires of Bailuchi brand. KO2 is positioned as a tire suitable for moderate cross-country. Compared with AT tires at the same price, this tire is more balanced in performance and comfort. Many car owners will share the feeling of leather and durability after replacing KO2 tires, and the performance is enough for ordinary cross-country players. KO2 shoulder pattern is very long, so it can get a larger contact area when the tire is depressed, and a desliming separator is designed to help cut mud, and there is a certain angle design to prevent the shoulder from being scratched during driving.

The tire wall thickness of Bailuchi ko2 is 5.4mm, and the tire particles don’t seem to be very big, which has little influence on the power of the vehicle. At least, the acceleration of the middle section of the pavement on the Great Wall Gun has almost no obvious influence. The tire noise is naturally larger than that of ordinary comfort-oriented tires, but it is good as a whole. Because the suction sound of high intake air will be obviously transmitted to the model, the tire noise will be relatively small when the paved road is driving at high speed, and it will not bring the so-called "auditory pain".

Let’s talk about K-MAN’s nitrogen shock absorber. The cost of this product is not low. To be honest, I didn’t expect it to appear on the off-road pickup truck of the Great Wall Gun. Compared with the shock absorber of the traditional oil reduction system, the nitrogen shock absorber has much higher cost, and has the characteristics of adjustable soft and hard back pressure. Generally speaking, it is mainly used in sports events or heavier off-road environments. However, this set of nitrogen shock absorber needs to be maintained after a period of later use. According to many car owners, the later maintenance cost is not low. I also consulted the manufacturer for the later maintenance of nitrogen shock absorber. The car owner does not need to go to a third party for maintenance, and the 4S shop can support the maintenance and adjustment of the hardness of the shock absorber during vehicle maintenance.

The off-road pickup truck of Great Wall Gun equipped with nitrogen shock absorber has an average performance on the paved road. Compared with the ordinary version, it can obviously feel the road feeling more clearly, and the small bumps on the road surface will also be transmitted to the driver’s body. It is still stiff to bounce when encountering the speed bump, which is also in line with the positioning of this car. If you are very concerned about comfort, consider the original factory shock absorber.

# What’s the ability to get out of trouble?

The manufacturer also arranged a cross-country section for this test drive, but this section of the road does not require high ability for vehicles to get out of trouble. There is no obvious cross axis or steep slope, only some slippery mud, so it can’t pose a threat to the passage of vehicles. Control the direction and stabilize the throttle, and you can easily pass.

In terms of the details of the chassis, the off-road gun has added a metal guard to protect the transfer box, fuel tank and other positions, and will not cause direct damage to the hardware because of the bottom support in off-road.

The approach angle, departure angle and minimum ground clearance of the Great Wall Gun off-road pickup truck are 30, 26 and 228mm, respectively, which are not much different from those of the ordinary version. The Bailuchi KO2 tire can cope well with gravel and muddy roads, and its grip performance is very ok. Mud has a certain test for the vehicle’s own electronic slip-limiting ability. However, due to the good performance of tire grip, there is no obvious slip phenomenon when passing through, so we don’t need to hang the fourth gear or use the differential lock in this link.

Creeping mode is also called "fool mode". For those who are inexperienced in cross-country driving, this configuration can help you do a lot of things. This mode can only be activated after switching to the low-four mode. The allowable speed range of creep mode is 5-12km/h. After activation, the driver only needs to control the direction and leave the rest to the vehicle.

In addition, the overall performance of 700 mm wading depth is still sufficient, but if the computer position can be higher, such as higher than the air filter, then I think the wading depth can definitely be improved.

# Will it be tiring to drive on paved roads?

The comfort of most hard-core SUVs on paved roads is generally average, but full-size pickup trucks such as Raptor and Smooth Road have changed this stereotype. The wide body, comfortable seats and abundant V8 power will leave a good impression on people during the long journey, but only if you don’t modify them, the comfort will naturally decrease after changing tires and shock absorbers.

The seat of the cross-country gun looks very generous, and the filler is particularly thick. It is still soft to sit on, which is obviously more comfortable than the seat of Ruiqi 6, so it is more friendly in the long journey.

The overall comfort of the Great Wall gun off-road pickup truck when driving on the paved road is acceptable, except that the high air intake mentioned above will bring certain noise and the nitrogen shock absorber has a strong road feeling, the other aspects are similar to the ordinary version. The 2.0T engine has 190 horsepower and 360 Nm, which will not give any surprises in terms of power when driving a body with more than 2 tons. The power is not abundant but enough. Accelerating from 30km/h to 80km/h will not feel procrastination.

The shifting logic of 8AT gearbox conforms to common sense, and the upshift is positive, but I think it is a bit too cautious in gearbox protection. Facing the uphill road ahead, the gearbox can’t downshift multiple gears in succession, and the actual measurement can only be reduced from the 7th gear to the 4th gear, and then the paddles will not work, so the dynamic response will not be very positive, even if the accelerator pedal is deeply stepped on, it will be quite unusual.

With regard to braking, the overall performance makes the driver feel a little insecure. Perhaps it is also influenced by the greater inertia of the vehicle weight. The braking force is not very strong. There is a certain vacancy in the initial stage of the brake pedal. If you want to obtain a certain braking force, you need enough pedal stroke to release the braking force. However, due to the good support of the nitrogen shock absorber, the overall posture is good.

# Some commonly used configurations

Stainless steel shelves and flat covers of containers are not equipped even with top-mounted models, which requires an extra 7,000 yuan for optional installation. After the optional installation, the containers can really be used to put some luggage, but the price is really not cheap. If there is a need to pack luggage later, it is still recommended to install some limit devices, otherwise the luggage will run around after driving.

After the flat cover of the container is opened, it still has a certain height, and the strength of the hydraulic rod is not light. It takes a little effort for a petite female friend to close it. After closing, she has to press both sides down to completely close it.

The 9-inch central control LCD screen has the functions of multimedia, GPS navigation, mobile phone interconnection and Carplay, and also supports the expansion of applications. In addition, the probability that the 7-inch full LCD instrument panel can be seen on the pickup truck is extremely low, and it can display the altitude and air pressure, which will be a very practical configuration on the plateau. The air conditioning control panel under the central control adopts the combination of double knobs and physical buttons, which can see the functions of automatic air conditioning, seat heating, steep slope descent, front and rear differential lock and so on.

The off-road version is equipped with a two-speed TOD intelligent four-wheel drive system, with two modes of high-speed and low-speed four-wheel drive, and the front and rear axles have locking mechanisms. Seven driving modes are provided, in addition to sports, standard and economy modes, four modes of snow, mud, sand and low-speed four-wheel drive are added.

# Full text summary

I think the biggest advantage of the Great Wall gun off-road pickup truck is that it can go off-road or cross directly at the factory. The top price is less than 200,000 yuan. The manufacturer has strengthened the passing capacity of the whole vehicle. "Modification before leaving the factory" also means that the owner does not have to worry about car inspection and other issues. If the manufacturer can optimize and improve the air intake system, the dynamic response of the initial stage of the vehicle will be better, and there will be no sense of "weak somatosensory power". For these three configurations, I personally recommend that you choose the top model. The cost of Bailuchi KO2 tire and K-MAN nitrogen shock absorber is still quite high, and the actual performance is also better. Unfortunately, the test drive arranged by the manufacturer did not involve difficult off-road sections, so I can only go to the venue to experience it after I get the test drive in the future. I will share the detailed performance with you in the future.

Online celebrity County Party Secretary will leave: I hope my colleagues will forget my harshness.

  WeChat friends circle screenshot

  At about 13: 00 on December 2, Chen Xingjia, secretary of online celebrity County Committee of Hubei Province, publicly posted in his WeChat circle of friends, "Dear folks, I am about to leave my beloved Badong. Here, I would like to thank everyone and say goodbye through the public number of my good friend Yinuo. "

  Previously, Chen Xingjia, the current secretary of Badong County Party Committee, born in January 1971, was designated as the "candidate for state-level leading cadres" in September 2016.

  Chen Xingjia said in the above, "I sincerely thank all media friends for their attention and support to Badong over the years. I have completed the mission of Badong spokesperson, so I personally will not be interviewed by any media in the near future. Please stop paying attention to me personally, and please continue to pay attention to supporting Badong — — Although it is remote and temporarily poor, it is infinitely beautiful and full of hope in Badong. "

  At the same time, Chen Xingjia attached his "parting speech".

  He wrote, "Thanks to my colleagues and your support, several major events that the county party committee has decided to do every year in recent years have won everyone’s support. I hope that when you remember me in the future, you will understand and forget my strictness and harshness. I will no longer be your leader, but I will still be your micro-friend, your pen pal, your ball friend and your donkey friend. "

  He also thanked many netizens. "Thank you for your enthusiastic encouragement, supervision and criticism. In fact, I have been with you all these years. I have an ID in the forum, and my name is five words (don’t guess, the administrator doesn’t know it’s me), and occasionally I have spoken and participated in the discussion. "

  Chen Xingjia also said, "I am most satisfied with the work I have done in Badong ‘ Clean and self-reliant ’ Badong spirit, and lead everyone to practice together. I dare not say that I am worthy of my life, but I dare say that I am worthy of my heart, dare to say that I am a county party secretary who does not collect money, and dare to say that I have tried my best. "

  Attachment: The full text of Chen Xingjia’s Goodbye, My Badong.

  I am about to leave Badong, and I have too much to give up. In front of the window is the outline of the distant mountain in Xirukou under the setting sun, which is undulating like waves, just like my mood at the moment. More than five years seems to have passed quickly, and there are many things to say, and I don’t know where to start.

  Before I came to Badong, my life and Badong only crossed twice. First, before I was 11 years old as a child, I grew up in Xiangxiawan Village, Gao Qiao, Xingshan County, which is only a dozen miles away from Baiwan Village on the border of Badong County. I know that menstruation was married in a remote village in Badong County. Second, I took a boat from Yichang to Chongqing ten years ago. I once passed through Badong in the misty rain. My peers introduced that Wuxiakou next to Badong County is the pattern behind five yuan.

  On October 9, 2011, I received a notice from the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee to work in Badong. The word "Badong" is distant and vague, so I can only learn about my new home through the Internet. I still remember the deep shock after typing "Badong" in Baidu at first. Behind the long history and beautiful scenery, the names Deng Yujiao and Ran Jianxin firmly link the word "Badong" in the negative information of the mass network, which is mixed with resentment and hostility.

  It took me a week to search Badong comprehensively and get to know Badong. My notebook was full of ten pages, and my heart had already arrived before the people arrived. On October 15th, 2011, I left Yidu and set foot on the land of Badong. I come with a heavy responsibility, with deep concern and full of enthusiasm.

  In November 2011, I boarded the Damian Mountain for the first time. On the sedan chair rock surrounded by red leaves, I overlooked the Yangtze River flowing from the horizon through Wuxia, and I was inexplicably moved. I remembered Tagore’s sentence, "This is the farthest journey, and I came to the place closest to you … …” I think I found my own door here.

  That night, I wrote my first poem after coming to Badong:

  Finally, I came to this river,

  Through the setting sun, through the dense forest,

  I saw you,

  At the end of the red leaves, you stand alone,

  Is this the distant and clear you in your dream?

  How many years have you been waiting here silently?

  Honey, I’m coming!

  I found you, in this life!

  I want to tell my past life,/we have met in this life;

  I want to tell my next life, the next life,

  Because of love, I am willing to be a happy stone … …

  These years have passed like this. At this moment, I feel that I am a happy stone, and I fell here in the best time of my life. Wake up in the mist and glow in the morning, walk in the mountains and waters during the day, walk in the shadow of the ship’s flute and light in the evening, and fall asleep with the sound of waves at night. Looking back on every day in Badong, it is happiness.

  Using the simplest words to express the mood at this time is "thank you".

  Thanks to the 500,000 folks in Badong, thank you for your acceptance, and let me feel back to my hometown at the first time. Although my hundreds of thousands of poor relatives in Badong no longer serve you directly, I will still care about you and try my best to do something for you.

  Thanks to my colleagues and your support, several major events that the county party Committee has decided to do every year in recent years have won everyone’s support. I hope that when you remember me in the future, you will understand and forget my strictness and harshness. I will no longer be your leader, but I will still be your micro-friend, your pen pal, your ball friend and your donkey friend.

  Thanks to my old kiss menstruation, my mother’s elder sister who was most concerned and distressed before her death. And my three cousins, you work and live silently in remote villages. Over the years, you have never looked for me, and you have not let others know that you are the closest relatives of the county party secretary. Even if menstruation was seriously ill and came to the county hospital for hospitalization, you did not let me know.

  Thank you for your enthusiastic encouragement, supervision and criticism. In fact, I have been with you all these years. I have an ID in the forum, and my name is five words (don’t guess, the administrator doesn’t know it’s me), and occasionally I have spoken and participated in the discussion … … I would also like to thank the stones, bugs and little birds in particular. Your deep love and responsibility have always insisted on speaking out from a critical perspective, which is very helpful to my work.

  Finally, I would like to thank Wang Ming, Pu Cunxin, Di Sen, Deng Fei, Yuan Hui, Chen Jingxiao, Li Jie, Peng Fei, An Yu, Zhou Jian, Rose Tong &hellip for their silent dedication, support and service to rural public welfare in Badong. … And all the long-term or short-term, famous and unknown supporters. You don’t seek fame or gain, you are full of compassion and enthusiasm for the disadvantaged, and your spirit and feelings warm the still barren land here. Five years in Badong, interacting with you, also let me always face my true self from the grassroots, and deeply feel that serving the grassroots is the happiness I have been pursuing.

  What I am most satisfied with in my work in Badong is that I have condensed the spirit of "clean and self-improvement" with you and led you to practice it together. I dare not say that I am worthy of my life, but I dare say that I am worthy of my heart, dare to say that I am a county party secretary who does not accept money, and dare to say that I have tried my best.

  What I regret most is that in the past five years, Badong’s industrial development has been struggling. In recent years, the eco-cultural tourism industry, which we have exerted the greatest efforts, has not really taken off until this year. Several major projects launched at the end of last year and this year, such as photovoltaic poverty alleviation in State Grid, high-speed rail town and Yingcai Waterfront in the Yangtze River, let us see the dawn, but there will be many difficulties in the implementation process. My successor colleagues, the task of leading the villagers in the county out of poverty and towards a well-off society is still very heavy.

  Yan Ping is diligent and honest, and Guo Ling has feelings and responsibility. I believe my successor colleagues will do better than me. I believe that in the future, Badong will have beautiful political ecology, beautiful social ecology and beautiful natural ecology. It is the cleanest and most beautiful town near the Yangtze River, a place where foreigners don’t want to go when they come, and a place where people living here feel happy!

  I left clearly, just as I came clearly; I waved my sleeve without taking away a cloud. Goodbye, my Badong! There are no traces of wings in the sky, but I have flown. Over the years, the mountains are long and the waters are wide. You are in my heart and in my dream.

The drama is based on the construction industry, closely following the context of advancement and counterattack in the workplace. It tells the story that Su Xiao (Sun Li), a cost engineer, was forced to leave his job because of the partner’s prevarication, and coincidentally entered Tiancheng Building, a subsidiary of Yinghai Group. In the high-pressure and meticulous cost work, even in the face of the undercurrent in the company and Xia Ming (Mark Chao), a Tianke construction economist, Still adhering to the professional belief that "the cleanliness of the cost table is the cleanliness of the project", I stood out in the fierce bidding again and again, and also experienced the experience and baptism in the workplace in the battle of wits again and again, and finally ushered in the highlight moment of my career and a new understanding of my life ideal.

In order to present the original workplace, the drama keeps Su Xiao’s struggle, while further strengthening the details, constantly exploring the survival rules of the workplace, presenting the real ecological picture of the workplace, facing the contradiction between ideal and reality, and refracting various social problems at the same time, which can be described as a bold attempt of domestic industry drama.A large number of industry knowledge and professional terms involved in the play have been rigorously verified by relevant people, striving to show the workplace illustrations in a true and professional way. The development of the plot is gripping, and it describes the advanced blood shed in the workplace and the magnificent emotional story behind him.

On the occasion of the boot, Ideal City released its first concept poster, showing the audience a real and cold road to career advancement.containThe huge letter "IDEAL" meaning "ideal" and a vibrant modern city are slowly waking up in the morning light.Nearby skyscrapers soar into the sky.,like fish scales and comb teeth―in tight rowsIt symbolizes that the road to the ideal is full of thorns and tribulations, the relationship between all parties is complicated and intertwined, and the hostess steps on the ladder, which means that Su Xiao takes the ideal as a ladder, strengthens her faith step by step and climbs the ideal peak in a down-to-earth manner. Only by sticking to sincerity and Do not forget your initiative mind and sticking to principles and positions all the way, can we break through the layers of fog and achieve our own ideal road.

The cast of this drama is also bright, which makes people look forward to it. Sun Li, as the first Grand Slam actress with three awards in TV series after 1980s, has always enjoyed high ratings and reputation. She will once again challenge the workplace drama in "Ideal City" and play the heroine Su Xiao. From the grassroots to the top of the group, all the way through the thorns, ups and downs between three ups and downs finally reached the top, and the battle of the workplace was staged wonderfully; Mark Chao once won the Golden Bell Award as the Emperor and the Huading Award as the Best Actress, and even gained high attention for his role as YeHua. Xia Ming, the leading actor in the play, is recognized as a genius cost maker in the industry. After meeting Su Xiao for the first time, he competed with appreciate each other all the way. As the first cooperation between the two, the screen CP is expected to spark collision and love-hate entanglement between the roles in the play.

In addition, Chen Minghao, Gao Ye, Chuanying Li, Zhang Shu, Qian Yi and other powerful actors also joined the drama to protect the quality, and the surprise performances of the new generation of actors YCY and Liu Yichang also injected new vitality into the drama; There are also many performing artists who are loved by the audience, which makes the outside world look forward to and make the show full of watching!

 

From the beginning of the project, the whole crew has been adhering to the spirit of ingenuity, just to create a "new benchmark" for workplace drama and present a "good story" with resonance. I believe that the high-quality works created by the gold team will definitely make the audience shine, and let us look forward to meeting the "Ideal City" as soon as possible.

It is basically equivalent to the market value of domestic large-scale automobile listed companies at present, and the valuation of new car-making forces, including new energy subsidiaries under traditional car companies, cannot be compared with it.

At present, the price of Tesla official website Model 3 is 279,900 yuan, which means that the price of the next generation of new cars will sink to hundreds of thousands.

It is understood that the average cost of each electric vehicle in Tesla has dropped by 36,000 dollars, and the lower production cost has also given Tesla a lot of confidence to launch more affordable products. For other new energy car companies, it will also bring some impact. After all, compared with other new car-making forces, Tesla’s price does have certain advantages.

The combined power of 2.0T diesel +8AT can reach 120kW! Test drive of the new Great Wall passenger gun

Recently, the 2023 Great Wall passenger gun has ushered in the market, with the official guide price of 126,800-159,800 yuan and the official guide price of diesel models of 133,800-166,800 yuan. The main theme of this change is to increase the allocation without increasing the price, and the intelligence and luxury of the whole vehicle have become a big selling point. It must also have the ability to get a shot in product strength. Let me briefly understand it first.

In appearance, the front of the Great Wall Gun Passenger Edition is a family-style large-size chrome-plated mesh, and many parts of the car body are also decorated with chrome, even the car body is very delicate. This pickup truck is also equipped with the first hidden container boarding pedal in China, which is very convenient to get on and off. Moreover, it also has its own towing qualification, and a number of exits and switches are reserved to meet the diverse modification needs of users.

In terms of interior, the Great Wall passenger gun is mainly practical, and of course it is also equipped with two suspended large screens, which improves the sense of science and technology. On the basis of the original, the car adds intelligent configurations such as traffic congestion assistance and intelligent cornering, and is equipped with a fully automatic parking system.

This car not only has a large body, but also has a good interior space. You won’t feel cramped when sitting in the car. The seats are wrapped in leather, which makes me feel quite comfortable to sit. There is enough space in the head and legs, and the distance between the front and rear rows is moderate. Occasionally, it is easy for a family to travel.

In terms of power, the 2.0T diesel version of the Great Wall Gun has a maximum power of 120kW and a maximum torque of 400N·m, matching ZF 8AT transmission.

We test-drive the diesel version this time. Because the Great Wall Gun is relatively big for me, I’m a little worried about whether it will be heavy to drive, but I didn’t expect it to be easy to drive. Although it is a pickup truck, it doesn’t feel as loose as a pickup truck. On the contrary, it feels more like driving a big off-road vehicle. Both the steering strength and the sensitivity of the accelerator brake are good.
