Struggle and glory, sweat and tears, surprise and emotion … Hangzhou Asian Games let the world see such China.

  On October 8th, the 19th Asian Games in Hangzhou ended in a closing ceremony full of Chinese romance and warmth. In the past 16 days, more than 10,000 athletes from 45 countries and regions in Asia fought bravely in Hangzhou. It can be said that Hangzhou has dedicated a sports event with "China characteristics, Asian elegance and splendor" to the world.

  What are the highlights of the closing ceremony impressive? What new breakthroughs have been made in this Asian Games? As the largest Asian Games in history, with the largest number of events and the widest coverage, what kind of China did the world see through this window of the Hangzhou Asian Games?

  Initiating "CNC Lawn" and Creating "the Most Beautiful Garden" of Lotus and Guangxi Symbiosis

  At the closing ceremony of the 19th Asian Games in Hangzhou, many wonderful moments left a deep impression on everyone, especially the carnival, in which athletes, volunteers and actors sang and danced happily in the symbiotic garden of lotus and Guangxi, and said goodbye to each other, was grand and full of vitality. How did this "most beautiful garden" come into being? Let’s listen to the introduction of the creative team ↓ ↓

  The director group installed more than 40,000 LED luminous points on the lawn of the main stadium of the closing ceremony with a spacing of about 40 cm. In the closing ceremony of the Asian Games, CNC lawn combined with real-time virtual reality enhancement, huge screen and other technologies presented the romantic garden effect of lotus flowers and osmanthus flowers. Athletes, volunteers and actors danced and sang in the carnival atmosphere, showing a touching farewell scene.

  Sha Xiaolan, general director of the closing ceremony of Hangzhou Asian Games:Lotus is the most representative in Hangzhou in summer. Wherever you go to the West Lake, there are lotus flowers everywhere. Moreover, the quality of lotus also has a good meaning, upward, out of mud but not stained. Osmanthus fragrans is the flower of Hangzhou. At the closing ceremony, it is the best time to bloom. We just want to combine these two kinds of flowers, which is called lotus-laurel symbiosis.

  Combining the lotus and osmanthus flowers with great morphological differences, the director team used the power of artificial intelligence design, and after dozens of editions of polishing, modification and demonstration, it finally presented a beautiful garden with lotus and osmanthus shining together at the closing ceremony.

  Digital Torch Man Showing Warm Moment

  The digital torch bearer "Runner", who appeared at the opening ceremony of the Hangzhou Asian Games, appeared again at the closing ceremony to witness the extinction of the main torch of the Asian Games with everyone on the scene. At the closing ceremony, the "frolic in the waves" moved many people with their tender gesture and farewell look back.

  At the opening ceremony of the Asian Games in Hangzhou, the "Digital Torch Man", gathered from the digital torch relay attended by more than 100 million people, came high with the torch and lit the main torch tower of "Qianjiang Tide" with the last torchbearer, which left a deep impression on the audience. This time, in the closing ceremony, the director team also continued the design of "Digital Torch Man", and witnessed the extinction of the main torch tower of Hangzhou Asian Games with all the audience and actors on the scene with warm heart-to-heart action.

  Yan Li, virtual visual director of the closing ceremony of Hangzhou Asian Games;Looking back at the torch platform is a classic action in the whole process, which is to let the real person’s emotions make him look back at the torch platform and then reluctantly leave the Asian Games. I also tried and filmed many times and finally chose an action.

  At the closing ceremony, "Digital Torchbearer" made a warm appearance under the name of "Runner". In order to name the "Digital Torchbearer", Hangzhou Asian Games Organizing Committee launched the "Digital Torchbearer" name campaign and conducted two rounds of evaluation and discussion from tens of thousands of collected names, and finally "trendsetter" stood out.

  Sha Xiaolan, general director of the closing ceremony of Hangzhou Asian Games:We think that since this figure has a name, it also has life. From our inner feelings, it is it that runs into the night sky. When it came, it was a gathering, and more than 100 million participants formed this digital person. It turned into a starry sky, which means that it returned to the hearts of every participant. This is an ending, the audience can think, it ran to the night sky and then ran to the next Asian Games. I think there are at least two kinds of imagination and two kinds of development space.

  Breaking records frequently and creating new glory of Asian sports

  The surprise and emotion brought by the Asian Games will remain in our memory forever, in the memory of Hangzhou and in the memory of the history of the Asian Games. During the 16 days when the Asian Games flame burned, more than 10,000 athletes from 45 countries and regions in Asia made breakthroughs again and again, creating high-light moments in their lives and creating new highs for Asian sports. This Asian Games has broken the world record for 15 times, the Asian record for 37 times and the Asian Games record for 170 times.

  The China sports delegation, which topped the gold medal list of the Asian Games, performed particularly well, winning 201 gold medals, 111 silver medals and 71 bronze medals, with a total of 383 medals. This is the best performance of the China sports delegation in the history of participating in the Asian Games, and it is also the 11th time that they have topped the gold medal list of the Asian Games.

  China sports delegation won gold medals in 45 disciplines, medals in 57 disciplines, broke the world record for three times, broke the Asian record for 18 times and broke the Asian Games record for 74 times. Most of the events had excellent performances and outstanding highlights. Traditional advantageous events such as diving and gymnastics have consolidated their advantages, while the China sports delegation has performed well in basic sports such as track and field, swimming and water sports. Among them, swimming won a total of 28 gold medals, and the total number of gold medals reached a record high. Track and field won 19 gold medals, the largest number of gold medals since the Hiroshima Asian Games in 1994. In addition, in skateboarding, rock climbing, equestrian and other events, the China team also achieved a breakthrough of zero gold medal in the Asian Games.

  Zhou Jinqiang, Deputy Head of China Sports Delegation:Among the 201 gold medals won by the China sports delegation in the Hangzhou Asian Games, 144 were Olympic gold medals, accounting for 72%. Nineteen events of water polo, hockey, tennis, boxing, synchronized swimming, sailing, archery and modern pentathlon were qualified for the Paris Olympic Games at the Hangzhou Asian Games, while 13 events of swimming and 1 event of track and field met the entry standards of the Paris Olympic Games at the Hangzhou Asian Games.

  Take stock of the classic moments of Hangzhou Asian Games.

  There is struggle, glory, sweat and tears in the Asian Games. Every game in 16 days is exciting, moving and touching, and those moments will condense, precipitate and last forever. Let’s revisit these memories while they are still fresh and full of temperature ↓ ↓

  After the women’s 50-meter butterfly final on September 29th, China’s Zhang Yufei and Japanese Chijiang Rihuazi embraced and wept. From the talented girl who attracted much attention to the difficult comeback from leukemia, the experience of Chijiang Lihuazi touched many people. Zhang Yufei and Chijiang Lihuazi are not only competitors in the swimming pool, but also friends of appreciate each other. Their hugs are warm and their tears are moving.

  In the women’s vault final on September 28th, 48-year-old Chusovitina finally passed the podium by 0.15 points and won the fourth place. Athletes who have competed for more than 30 years, participated in eight Olympic Games and are younger than their sons compete in the same field … … Her legendary experience has already surpassed many people’s understanding of competitive sports. Only love can last for a long time. She explained her love for gymnastics with persistence.

  In the women’s diving 10m platform final on October 3rd, Quan Hongchan showed the "Splash Vanishing Technique" in the second jump, and got seven full marks from seven judges, which was the only time in the diving competition of Hangzhou Asian Games. As the "popular king" of diving, Quan Hongchan not only won the individual gold medal, but also partnered with Chen Yuxi to win the women’s synchronized 10m platform championship with a "cliff-breaking" lead. At this Asian Games, the China diving team won all ten gold medals, reappearing "perfection".

  Every grand event, there are always new stars shining with youthful light. Cui Chenxi, the youngest member of the China delegation, won the women’s street gold medal in skateboarding at the age of 13. The South Korean team has a 20-year-old swimmer Huang Xuanyou, the Japanese team has an 18-year-old gymnast Okamura Zhen, and the 18-year-old Filipino tennis girl Alexa Eyala will burst into greater energy every time she faces adversity … … They all represent the new force of Asian sports.

  Show the beauty of Chinese culture through the "Asian Games Window"

  The Asian Games is both a competitive platform and a display window. As a "China-style, Asian-style and splendid" Asian Games, its success is not only reflected in the impressive achievements made by the athletes on the field, but also in the holding of the games. As the largest Asian Games with the largest scale, the largest number of events and the widest coverage in history, Hangzhou Asian Games is far more complicated than previous Asian Games. Under such circumstances, China still won wide acclaim from the OCA family and the international community for its first-class venue facilities and excellent organizational services.

  What kind of China did the Hangzhou Asian Games show Asia and the world? What kind of answers will athletes and other guests from abroad give to this question?

  Before returning home, Kyrgyz athlete Yerbol and his companions took the time to stroll around Hangzhou, ready to buy some Hangzhou silk for relatives and friends in their hometown.

  Kyrgyzstan national team member Yelbor:I bought one for my mother, and later found out that there was Wi-Fi. I even went online to ask my sister if she wanted it, sent them some photos of the bags and bought them a lot.

  Not only shopping, team officials and athletes from some countries also went to museums to experience ancient sports such as archery, throwing pots and hammering pills, as well as traditional culture such as rubbing experience and brush calligraphy.

  Najibullah, President of Afghan Taekwondo Association:This trip is wonderful, interesting and contains a lot of history. There are beautiful scenery, good weather, beautiful cities and nice people.

  Baniba Onbadanaji, the 49kg champion of women’s taekwondo in this Asian Games, is from Thailand. She has been recording what she saw and heard with her mobile phone all the way.

  Baniba OnPattana, a member of the Thai national teamauspiciousThis is my last time to participate in the Asian Games, and I am very happy. I want to record all the places I have been with video and share them with my family and my fans.

  In addition to the competition, Qiu Suoweijinna, a female gymnast, visited the West Lake in a hurry and learned how to stir-fry Longjing tea.

  Taste the special food and watch the beautiful scenery in the south of the Yangtze River, so that everyone’s trip to the Asian Games has gained more beauty.

  Pakistani photojournalist Dirlbek:(Hangzhou) is very beautiful. I think it’s right. After the Asian Games in Hangzhou, I also plan to bring my family to Hangzhou and show them around the city.

  Science and technology shape the Asian Games and show the future.

  The Asian Games let athletes from all over the world experience the beauty of China’s traditional culture. In addition to traditional culture, "high technology" is another impressive keyword. What are the highlights of science and technology on the field? Look at the observation of CCTV reporters at the main station ↓ ↓ ↓

  CCTV reporter Huang Da:When asked about their feelings about the Asian Games in Hangzhou, the key word that everyone must mention is "science and technology". At the opening ceremony, the "digital torchbearer" first quoted at the Asian Games allowed hundreds of millions of people to participate in the lighting together. The world’s largest display screen equivalent to 9 IMAX screens, beautiful digital fireworks & HELIP; … The application of science and technology in this Asian Games has made imagination a reality.

  At the closing ceremony held on the 8th, we were deeply impressed by the Asian Garden built with CNC lawn for the first time and the "flower of memory" displayed by virtual lotus flowers in cooperation with Weiya performance. The "digital torchbearer" also ran into the "Big Lotus" again at the closing ceremony and ran to the next Asian Games, leaving everyone with infinite expectations. Science and technology make Chinese romance extend in time and space, and let history and tradition meet modern and future here.

  These days, the mechanical dog taking discus in the track and field is out of the circle. Lovely movements not only bring a lot of laughter to the tense arena, but also, as the first technology used in global sports events, it realizes the functions of reducing manpower and saving time.

  From robots that can sweep the floor and kill mosquitoes in the streets of the Asian Games Village, to intelligent service robots that act as tour guides in venues, to meteorological monitoring systems that can be accurate to the minute, and intelligent cockpit that can realize integrated management of operational information in venues & HELIP; … According to media reports, the highlight of this Asian Games is not only competition, but also China who has pressed the "acceleration button" for the development of science and technology industry.

  The use of science and technology has also helped the Asian Games to fulfill the promise of "green and efficient". When we watch the fierce table tennis match, the training hall next to us, because of the design of light guide holes, can bring sufficient lighting to the athletes who are training here even without electricity as long as there is sufficient outdoor light. In the swimming pool, when we watch athletes from all over the world chopping waves in the clear swimming pool, under the swimming pool, a water circulation system that doesn’t need to change water all year round is running at high speed. With this system, the swimming pool can save 90,000 tons of water a year, which is equivalent to providing water for 4,000 people a year. There is also a self-cleaning facade of the venue and a roof that can absorb water … … When science and technology are combined with "thrifty hosting the Asian Games", what we see is the successful practice of the new concept of hosting the Asian Games that is green, environmentally friendly and waste-free.

  In this Asian Games, the infinite possibilities brought by science and technology to the organization of sports events have come to an end, but the pursuit of science and technology in China and Asia will not stop, and China will also bring more excitement to global development with science and technology.

Qualification is difficult to check? Foreign teachers mainly look at faces? The "English teachers" in training institutions are actually Portuguese.

  CCTV News:At present, learning English is a basic need in work, study and life for both children and adults, so various English training institutions are hot. However, with the gradual shortage of high-quality foreign teachers, some institutions have the phenomenon of "having a foreign face, you can be a foreign teacher", and the class hours are expensive. Does this price really match the quality of teaching?

  The mother tongue of "English foreign teachers" is not English.

  In Beijing, the reporter visited several English training institutions. When recommending courses for foreign teachers, most training institutions indicate that their foreign teachers are from English-speaking countries such as the United States, Britain, Canada and Australia.

  Staff of an English training institution:Both online and offline, our foreign teachers are teachers from North America and Canada.

  Staff of an English training institution:All the foreign teachers come from Ireland, that is, those countries next to Britain.

  The reporter learned that most of the foreign teachers’ oral English classes in these training institutions are taught in small classes, and the average price per class is around 600 yuan to 700 yuan, which is much higher than that of the courses taught by Mr. China.

  Staff of an English training institution:China has a class with 6 students in each class, which lasts for 10 hours and costs 3080 yuan. Foreign teachers teach 1800 yuan an hour, which means chatting.

  However, the reporter found that the publicity of these English training institutions seems to be untrue. On an online English training mobile APP, the customer service staff has always stressed that all their foreign teachers come from English-speaking countries such as Britain, the United States, Australia and Canada, but in the "Recommended Teachers" section, the reporter saw that there are two Portuguese teachers.

  English teachers:I was born in Portugal. You know, Portugal is not an English-speaking country. But I can learn English well. I have been teaching English for 4 years. Most people who meet me will think that I was born and raised in America.

  In the teacher information released by many English training institutions, the reporter also found that many foreign teachers live in countries where English is not the main language.

  English teachers:I come from Ukraine, and I am an English teacher in China.

  English teachers:I’m from Morocco. I’m 23 years old. Now I’m an English teacher in China, teaching children.

  Some consumers said that from the perspective of teaching, whether the mother tongue is English is not a necessary condition for teaching English well. But the English pronunciation of some foreign teachers is really flattering.

  Consumer:I signed up for a foreign teacher class, but he insisted that he was British, but whether it sounded or looked, I thought he was from Southeast Asia, and his pronunciation was awkward.

  The staff of an English training institution told reporters that their foreign teachers not only have accents, but also have multiple jobs.

  Staff of an English training institution:There is a Frenchman who works part-time as a foreign teacher here. I am not shy about it. He just speaks with an accent. He has five jobs in China at the same time, and he has everything in his major, such as liberal arts, science, engineering and art … …

  Foreign teachers’ qualifications are difficult to check.

  According to the relevant laws and regulations of our country, foreigners must obtain employment permit certificates when they are employed in China. Foreigners who come to China to apply for a foreign language teaching work visa must meet the conditions of having a bachelor’s degree or above, two years or above relevant work experience, being engaged in mother tongue teaching, and having no criminal record. Then, do the foreign teachers in these training institutions now have relevant qualifications?

  Staff of an English training institution:This is the personal privacy of foreign teachers and cannot be made public.

  Staff of an English training institutionI can show you TESOL (teaching english to speakers of other languages Certificate), but not passport. It’s personal privacy.

  Reporter:What about the visa?

  Staff of an English training institution:Of course, I can’t show you the visa.

  When a reporter asked on the official website of a training institution whether it was possible to check the qualifications of foreign teachers, he got the reply that "there is a shortage of foreign teachers now" and the status of foreign teachers belongs to "trade secrets". Some training institutions don’t even know what a foreigner’s work permit is.

  Reporter:May I see the foreign teacher’s work permit?

  Staff of an English training institution:What is this thing? I’m not sure what this is.

  According to China’s relevant regulations, only "Z-visa" is issued to those who apply to work in China. Foreigners holding other visas such as students and tourists are not allowed to teach in China. The reporter learned that in China, it is not easy for foreign teachers to get a work permit for teaching foreign languages in non-native countries.

  Reporter:If you are from a non-native English-speaking country, can you apply for a work permit in China and be a foreign teacher in China?

  Staff of the State Administration of Foreign Experts Affairs:In principle, foreign language teachers must be native speakers, so if (foreign teachers in non-native countries) want to submit online normally, we will definitely not approve it, because it is written in the policy.

  The reporter found in the investigation that there are also foreign teachers’ intermediary companies to contact foreign teachers’ resources for training institutions, with different qualifications and different prices. According to the intermediary staff, foreign teachers from English-speaking countries who hold cultural and educational work visas generally earn more than 20 thousand yuan a month; If it is a foreign teacher whose mother tongue is not English and holds a student visa, the monthly salary is about 10 thousand yuan.

  Staff of a foreign teacher intermediary company:Only the cultural and educational work visas are legal, and all other visas are illegal, but most foreign teachers in China are illegal now, but as long as this is not found, there is no problem.

  It is necessary to be cautious to strictly investigate foreigners’ illegal work and choose foreign teachers

  With a foreigner’s face, these unqualified "foreign teachers" can easily find a job with a good salary. And parents spent high tuition fees in exchange for courses that were not worthy of the name. In recent years, all kinds of chaos in the foreign teacher market have attracted the attention of the relevant state departments, and they have cracked down with heavy punches.

  Recently, Beijing No.3 Intermediate People’s Court made a final judgment on Liu Moujuan and other three people suspected of committing the crime of organizing others to cross the border. The three defendants knew that foreign teachers did not have legal entry procedures, but also illegally organized a number of foreign teachers to enter the country and introduced foreign teachers to engage in illegal labor services. In the end, he was sentenced to two years’ imprisonment, one year and nine months, and one year and six months, and fined 10,000 yuan and 5,000 yuan.

  Yu Jingmin, presiding judge of Beijing No.3 Intermediate People’s Court:They found some foreigners who are interested in working as foreign teachers in China through instant messaging tools and online forums.

  According to the defendant’s confession and testimony, these unqualified foreign teachers they organized mainly obtained the opportunity to come to China by handling short-term visas such as study visas and business visas.

  Yu Jingmin, presiding judge of Beijing No.3 Intermediate People’s Court:They discussed with foreigners to carry out early childhood education in China in this way. After the visa expires, they will organize foreigners to go to some Chinese embassies and consulates abroad to renew their visas and continue to work illegally in China.

  The staff of the State Administration of Foreign Experts Affairs who was sentenced to importing "black foreign teachers" said that regular foreign teachers must go through examination and approval and obtain the Work Permit for Foreigners and the work-related residence certificate issued by the Public Security Bureau before they can take up their posts. When choosing a foreign teacher, parents can ask the training institution to provide the Work Permit of the foreign teacher.

  Lu Suwen, a staff member of the State Administration of Foreign Experts Affairs:The front is the issuing authority of the license, and the back can see the photo and name of the foreign teacher, as well as a QR code, which can be scanned by Alipay or WeChat to get the corresponding information of the foreign teacher.

  Staff of the State Administration of Foreign Experts Affairs:There will be specific job positions when you scan them out, instead of writing "foreign teacher" in such a general way, you will write down English teachers or other language teachers.

  In addition, the work permit for foreigners requires annual inspection. If consumers find that the work permit is overdue or the position on the work permit does not match their actual position, they can report it to the public security organ in time.

The price of strawberries is halved, and cherries are "falling endlessly": Is fruit freedom coming back? | 2nd eye

Recently, "Strawberry price halved" rushed to the hot search list in Weibo, causing widespread concern among netizens. Under the hot search, some people are feeling that strawberries have become cheaper this year, and others are asking where to buy cheap strawberries.

According to the report of china securities journal, the reporter found that the sharp drop in strawberry prices was indeed true in many strawberry wholesale and retail markets in Beijing. Wang Liang (pseudonym), who specializes in strawberry wholesale in Beijing Xinfadi Agricultural Products Wholesale Market, said: "The weather is warm, strawberries grow very fast, and they are cooked in clusters, and they can be red overnight, and they are too late to pick them. The price of the country of origin has been reduced, and the wholesale and retail ends have also dropped accordingly. "

Not only strawberries, but also cherries are in the same situation. Statistics from Beijing Xinfadi Wholesale Market show that on October 31, 2023, the average price of Chilean cherries was 165 yuan per catty, and the highest price reached 200 yuan per catty. According to the latest market data, on January 31st, 2024, the average price of Chilean cherries on sale was 39 yuan per catty, and the highest price was only 55 yuan per catty. At the average price, the price of cherries dropped by 76.4%.

I still remember that before, "I can’t afford to eat fruit with a monthly salary of more than 10,000 yuan" rushed to the hot search, and the Internet was full of denunciations about "fruit assassins". Now the long-lost price reduction came off guard, which made people wonder: "Is fruit freedom really coming back?"

The most fundamental reason for the big price reduction of strawberries in 2024 is that the output has gone up.

According to CCTV financial report, in Yunnan, a big strawberry planting province, the strawberry production in 2023 increased by about 30% compared with 2022, and the price was also 20%-30% cheaper than 2022.

The surge in output mainly includes two factors: first, the climate is warming, which is suitable for strawberry growth; Second, more and more businesses are entering strawberry planting, and the plates are enlarged together.

According to the data of Tianyancha App, there were 521 new strawberry growing enterprises in 2023, and in 2022, the number was as high as 1,339. In two years, there were nearly 2,000 new strawberry growing enterprises in China. In terms of planting area, the planting area of strawberries also increased from 78.1 thousand hectares in 2011 to 139.97 thousand hectares in 2021.

From the perspective of the overall industry, China is the largest producer and consumer of strawberries. The Report on the Development Trend Analysis and Investment Prospect of China’s Strawberry Industry (2022-2029) shows that the production scale of strawberries in China ranks first in the world, accounting for more than one third of the total global strawberry production. The output of strawberries is also rising year after year, from 2.009 million tons in 2011 to 3.6825 million tons in 2021.

It is precisely because of the multiplied planting area and the booming output that the objective law of "scarcity is precious" has been essentially broken, and the seller’s market has become a buyer’s market, and the price has also ushered in a decline.

According to china securities journal, on February 25th, 2024, Wang Liang, a professional strawberry wholesaler in Beijing Xinfadi Agricultural Products Wholesale Market, told the reporter, "Two days ago, the creamy strawberries in Shandong and Anhui dropped to 8 yuan a catty. It snowed in the place of origin these two days, picking and transportation were blocked, and the price rose by a few dollars, but even if it rose, the price was half cheaper than that of the year before." A number of wholesalers told reporters that the best-selling strawberry now is Dandong, Liaoning, a catty of which is in 20 yuan’s early days, but before the Spring Festival, it has to be sold for 50 to 60 yuan a catty, and the price has been halved.

The development of fruit planting technology and the "involution" among growers have imperceptibly pushed down the price of high-priced fruits.

As the "shoulder handle" of apples, the red and durable "Fuji" apples were once all the rage. In 1980, China introduced Red Fuji into Shandong Province. Because the climate in Shandong Province is extremely suitable for the growth of Red Fuji, the planting area and output of Red Fuji have been rising, reaching a peak of more than 3,000 tons.

Almost every post-80s generation grew up eating the "inexhaustible" red Fuji in Shandong, and planted many kinds, even the rarest varieties became common.

The path of the sunshine rose falling from the altar is similar to that of Red Fuji. According to the data, in 2015, the price of the once-popular Sunshine Rose grape market once came to 300 yuan per catty, and in 2023, the price of Sunshine Rose only hovered around the 10 yuan per catty.

Another name of Sunshine Rose is Sunny Wang Putao, which was first cultivated in Japan. It is crisp and sweet, and has the characteristics of rose fragrance. After this variety entered China, it has been planted in Guangdong, Guangxi, Hunan, Sichuan, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai, and basically achieved uninterrupted supply in the domestic market throughout the year. Large-scale localized planting of high-priced imported fruits not only reduces the cost of freight, but also increases the market supply, so that high-priced fruits are rare and expensive.

Not only that, but now China is the country with the largest blueberry production in the world; Avocado has been successfully planted in many areas of Yunnan, and even durian, the "king of fruits", has quietly entered the first fruit-producing period in Hainan … Because of all kinds of "localization", in the China market in 2023, blueberries fell to 7.99 yuan a box, and avocados were stable at more than 30 yuan for four, so it no longer felt so "meaty" to eat.

If the "parity" of Sunshine Rose and Avocado is the result of large-scale planting in China, the price reduction of cherries and durian is attributed to the cross-border logistics in China.

The complete infrastructure of fresh food logistics not only reduces the storage and transit time, but also further reduces the loss rate. It may be hard for Chilean fruit farmers to imagine that cherries that have just picked their branches today may appear in the hands of consumers in China two days later.

On December 3rd, 2021, with the official opening of China-Laos Railway, it takes only three days for durian to be transported from Thailand’s cold chain to Kunming, China, almost catching up with the transportation speed of domestic express delivery, and the transportation cost is reduced and the price is also lowered.

Compared with the frequent occurrence of "fruit assassins", it seems that fruit freedom is really close at hand.

The price of strawberries is so close to the people, which is the gospel of strawberry lovers. Let’s take advantage of the price to have a good meal! Pai Paijun also collected some tips for picking and cleaning strawberries here.

The appearance of strawberries should be bright, uniform and tidy, which indicates that strawberries are mature and have the same maturity, and at the same time, spotted and rotten strawberries should be avoided.

Fresh and ripe strawberries have a strong aroma, and some varieties can smell the aroma of cream when they are close.

Strawberries should be refrigerated in time after purchase, and preservation at 2℃-4℃ is helpful to extend the shelf life of strawberries.

First, wash strawberries with running water to remove the dust on the surface.

Then, soak in clear water, light salt water or baking soda solution for 5 minutes.

Finally, rinse it again and you can eat it with confidence.

Key points: don’t pick strawberry stalks before washing! Studies have shown that the cleaning method without removing the strawberry pedicle will be cleaner and more hygienic than removing the strawberry pedicle.

Tips: Although strawberries are delicious, everyone should pay attention to eating them in moderation!

How to do strength training to improve running ability?

You may have seen countless strength training programs. Strength training programs can be divided into general strength training programs and special strength training programs. Most of the training programs we want to see can’t improve running ability. Before sharing the running strength training plan, I would like to share with you some basic principles that should be followed:

?

1, the principle of pertinence

If you are a runner, the purpose of strength training is nothing more than improving your running ability. Before you do it, you need to think about how these movements help running, which will be more targeted and improve faster. For example, in the forward swing stage of running, the hamstring muscles will be elongated, limiting the extension of the calf, while the calf is stretched by the quadriceps femoris. When accelerating, the calf and foot begin to descend to the running surface, thus forming a vertical line from head to toe. Therefore, if you have the problem of striding, you should do more hamstring training when doing strength training to help your feet fall below the center of gravity.

?

2. pyramid principles

According to the best performance training model (OPT) of the National Sports Medicine Association (NASM), training is divided into stability (stable endurance), strength (muscle endurance, muscle hypertrophy, maximum strength) and explosion (explosive force). The order of training should be from bottom to top, first lay a solid foundation for stability, and then carry out strength and explosive training. In stability training, joint activity training and muscle activation should be carried out in order to better enter the state of motion.

?

3, the principle of project-specific adaptation

The principle of project-specific adaptation is also called SAID (specific adaptation to imposed demands), which is closely related to the principle of pertinence, except that said pays more attention to the physiological structure. Most runners don’t want muscle hypertrophy, but want to improve muscle endurance, so do more endurance training to make your cells adapt and become more endurance.

?

Next, I will share with you a strength training plan, which should be implemented step by step. The specific methods are as follows:

?

1. Core training

The so-called core refers to a whole, a solid foundation and a source of strength and speed. Use first90-90 tension breathingTo activate the core muscles, especially the diaphragm related to running and breathing.Rod type(flat support) to improve the stability and control of core muscles, to ensure that the movements are not deformed during running, and finally to useHigh kneeling posture is stable and anti-rotation.Action, to simulate the swing arm scene during running.

2. Lower limb training

Lower limb training can be carried out with the help of elastic belt. The most important thing in lower limb training is the strength of gluteal muscles, which helps to stabilize the knee joint and improve the running ability. Considering that the hip, knee and ankle of the lower limbs are an interactive dynamic chain, the first thing to do is to start the hip joint, and then strengthen the leg muscles by lateral crab walking and feet moving back and forth, and then carry out one-leg hard lifting, lunge walking, Bulgarian leg squatting, side squatting, deep squatting and over-squatting, and finally strengthen the elasticity of the achilles tendon by skipping rope, which is helpful to the stability of the forefoot landing.

?

?

3. Upper limb training

The main purpose of upper limb training is to improve the swing arm ability, because poor swing arm efficiency will affect the stability of the body and reduce the running efficiency. Healthy shoulder joint mobility is the key to the balance and stability of the upper body. Too weak upper body or poor movement mode will affect daily life and hinder sports performance.

?

In upper limb training, elastic belt should be used to start the shoulder joint first, then push-ups should be used to develop upper limb muscle strength, and finally rowing and shoulder external rotation should be carried out to improve the shoulder and arm strength in an all-round way.

?

?

Finally, attach a strength training schedule for everyone! Come on. Oh, come on.

Poetry | Written in Spring (Part One)

Spring breeze holds small scissors.
Cut clouds, rain and fog.
Cut 3,000 square kilometers of Rongcheng.
Hibernating catkins, insect frogs
Wake up under the call of spring thunder
Silent spring rain moistens the ancient county land.
Whispering swallows are dancing.
Holding the hope of sowing
Bring it to the fields and farmers
Let’s take the glass and put all the troubles in the world.
Swallow into my heart. Spring takes a light step.
Walking slowly.
In high-speed railway station.
I heard that you are coming to my city.
Even if there is freezing rain outside.
I am waiting in high-speed railway station, rain or shine.
Wandering and wandering
Everyone who smiles by.
I thought it was you.
You never came.
Is the rain and snow holding you back?
The high-speed rail roared and flew away.
I am still waiting for you in high-speed railway station.
Wait for you to reply me with a reason to stand me up.
