"The Ultimate Typhoon" | Can it become the turning point of new theme in the industry?

edit| Ji Zhengpeng

This year 2020 is destined to be an extraordinary year, which has experienced COVID-19 epidemic, Australian fire, African locust plague, Indonesian flood, American flu, and earthquakes in many places … All kinds of disasters are like a "mirror", reflecting the dark side of human nature and the warmth and flash of human nature.

On September 25th, Youku will launch a movie-The Ultimate Typhoon.

Under the guidance of Youku’s "Monster Drying" last year, there appeared an overwhelming number of monster-themed films in the market, which set off a wave of themes and trends. When "The Ultimate Typhoon" just entered Youku’s booking axis, many people in the industry noticed this unique film. When the audience watched the trailer, they would understand that the film market may usher in a new theme change.

This is a straightforward realistic natural disaster movie, which is caused by human’s destruction of the environment, and finally eats itself back. The town destroyed by the super typhoon is shocking, and human beings are just a drop in the ocean before the disaster. With the bus being blown off the cliff, the most authentic human nature exposed by people for their own survival opportunities at the speed of life and death constitutes a ukiyo-e painting with many people’s hearts.

The choice between love and bread, the ambitious mother, the faceless online celebrity, and the nouveau riche whose money is supreme … There are many hot social topics in the preview of the film, and the discussion triggered by this shows the ambition of the film, which makes people look forward to the market performance of the film after it goes online.

"Create more valuable content for young people"

 —— Guangdong Xingyu Film Co., Ltd.

Nowadays, in the online movie market, the market dividends are concentrated on the themes of fantasy costumes, tomb raiding and monsters. After the audience’s curiosity and movie-watching stimulation are satisfied, the high homogeneity of the themes will gradually drive the audience to have aesthetic fatigue, and online movies need to be broken. The differentiation of themes is the key to break through.

Ultimate Typhoon is a rare natural disaster film in China at present. It can be seen that the producers have begun to explore the relationship between man and nature when seeking a breakthrough in genre themes, which embodies the sense of corporate social responsibility.

Of course, natural disaster films also need visual effects, otherwise the exciting plot will appear false. It is understood that the film was produced by the original team of "Catch the Demon and the Great Immortal" series, which once made a box office score of 40 million yuan, and was escorted by senior producer Chen Luoxi and director Dong Wei who produced many explosive works. It is worth mentioning that the six-axis platform of the same model in The Wandering Earth was launched this time, and their special effects mechanic, Mr. Wang Ke, and the live special effects teacher Zhang Tao of the film "Shadow" were invited to help out, which shows that the filmmakers attach importance to the film, and at the same time, the quality of the film is guaranteed to a certain extent.

In fact, as early as August this year, Guangdong Xingyu Film Co., Ltd., the production company behind "The Ultimate Typhoon", was the producer of the series of catching the demon and the big fairy. This year’s "The Great Illusionist" has also made nearly 20 million box office, and the sci-fi movie "Mars Mutation" being built has attracted great attention from the whole industry.

Young teams can keenly capture the new demands of the market, have strong execution, and have the courage to take risks.

Can Youku once again help the film to create a new explosion theme?

Since 2018, the monster movie is undoubtedly one of the most eye-catching types in the online movie market and has become an unstoppable "traffic king". The first "The Serpent" was released exclusively in Youku for three months, and it created a new record of online movie box office of 50 million people and 50 million+box office, which further promoted the shooting upsurge of domestic online movie monster theme. The "serpent" series and other high-quality monster films have created Youku’s "Monster Drying" brand in one fell swoop through Youku platform.

However, the Youku platform said that monster movies are not all of Youku’s online movies, and the unique market segment of the Internet can spawn various types of stories: "From the perspective of the platform, we don’t want everyone to just make monster movies, and the future content is diversified and refined." It can be seen that the pursuit and vision of Youku platform.

Youku has always encouraged the diversification of film types and theme innovation, and its achievements are obvious to all. From "The serpent" to "The Ultimate Typhoon", they explore new subject areas and maintain the diversity of online movies. They show by actions that there are no unpopular types in the market, and any kind of movies have strong market potential.

With the new upgrade of content cooperation mode and cooperation resources by Youku online movies, The Ultimate Typhoon has been strongly supported by Youku in its operation, promotion and marketing, successfully joined the Youhe plan, and strived to leverage the resources inside and outside the station to provide better service for The Ultimate Typhoon, which will bring more opportunities for breaking the circle for this innovative content, and make new themes have more possibilities, gain more audiences and achieve higher box office.

At present, the trailers and highlights of The Ultimate Typhoon have performed well. From September 22nd, it was officially announced that it would go online on September 25th. Up to now, the number of movie reservations has exceeded 10w, and several vibrato videos released have been continuously praised in a short time, even as high as 100w.

I believe that the release of this film will definitely be a landmark work in online movies, which can open up a new track for domestic online movies in addition to monsters, fantasy, horror and love.

[The world says] The number of mass shootings in the United States this year may exceed the peak in 2021! US media: The "cause" of gun violence is deeply rooted in American politics, culture and law.

  China Daily Online, October 30th-The mass shooting incident in Lewiston, Maine, USA has become another tragic milestone of gun violence in the United States. According to the data of the non-profit organization "Gun Violence Archive", there were three shootings in this incident, which killed at least 22 people and injured as many as 60 people, making it the deadliest mass shooting incident in 2023.

  An article on The Trace website in the United States wrote: "Are incidents like the Iuvaldi campus shooting and the Lewiston shooting really becoming more and more common in the United States? Answer: Yes. " Mass shootings have become so frequent in the United States that Americans often feel that those random and indiscriminate shootings may happen anytime and anywhere without warning.

  Screenshot of the American The Trace website article

  The data from 1966 to 2023 collected by The Violence Project, a non-partisan organization that studies gun violence, shows that with the passage of time, mass shootings in the United States are not only more frequent, but also more and more deadly.

  VOX News reported on the 26th that the factors leading to the tragedy such as the shooting incident in Lewiston are deeply rooted in American politics, culture and law. Gun violence is unique to the United States, but it should not be normalized.

  Screenshot of American VOX News Network article

  Since 2015, the number of mass shootings in the United States has been increasing, reaching a peak of 686 in 2021. As of the end of October this year, there have been 565 mass shootings in the United States. At this rate, the record in 2021 will be broken.

  Spain’s MARCA website reported that this was the third consecutive year that there were more than 500 mass shootings in the United States before November. Studies show that five years ago, the number of mass shootings in the United States did not exceed 500 in a year.

  Screenshot of Marca newspaper website report

  Gun violence has increased at such a rapid rate that more and more lives have been taken away across the United States. This trend is worrying. According to the data of "Gun Violence Archives", as of October 28, all kinds of gun-related incidents in the United States have caused more than 35,500 deaths this year.

  According to the report, the availability of guns is one of the important factors that caused this crisis. There are about 120 guns for every 100 Americans, and a large number of American adults live in families with guns. No country has more private guns than the population like the United States.

  VOX News Network pointed out that although the US Congress reached an agreement on limited gun reform last year, "narrow reform" did not stop the spread of gun violence in the United States. Since the founding of the United States, the social view of supporting citizens to own guns has been deeply rooted in politics, culture and law. Under such circumstances, many red states have relaxed their gun laws in the past few years, instead of making it more difficult for the public to obtain guns.

  David Yamane, a professor of American gun culture at Wake Forest University, said: "The uniqueness of the United States is that guns always exist, and ordinary people widely own guns, and the government does not claim to have a greater monopoly on guns."

  According to the article, it is difficult to estimate the number of privately owned guns in the United States, not only because there is no nationwide database to register whether people own guns, but also because the black market of guns "flourishes" in the absence of strong federal gun trafficking laws. In addition, people can make their own guns by using DIY kits or 3D printers, and gun lobby groups strongly oppose federal legislation to track gun sales and establish a national pistol registration system.

  A large number of guns and more guns mean more gun-related deaths. Researchers have found that there is a clear connection between gun ownership and gun violence in the United States, and some people think that the two are causal.

  In 2013, a study led by Boston University showed that for every one percentage point increase in the family gun rate, the gun-related homicide rate in the state increased by 0.9%. The research of "Everytownfor Gun Safety", an advocacy organization for gun control, also shows that states with weak gun laws have higher rates of gun-related homicide and gun-related suicide.

  Robert Spitzer, a professor of gun control politics at new york State University SUNY Cortland, pointed out that in modern times, the hunting element of American gun culture has been covered by a highly politicized concept. This concept holds that carrying guns is freedom, individuality and expression of personal self-protection.

  The occurrence of large-scale shootings is not only difficult to promote the implementation of gun control, but also more difficult to explore policy solutions against gun violence under the influence of American gun culture, because these measures are too extreme by American standards. For example, it was nearly ten years after the shooting incident at Sandy Hook Elementary School that the US Congress passed a new gun control law. The "Two-Party Safer Community Law" passed in June 2022 has limited effect.

  At the same time, many states have been seeking to expand gun ownership in recent years. At present, at least 27 states have passed laws that allow residents to carry pistols without permits and allow school staff to carry guns on campus.

  The article further points out that the US Supreme Court makes it impossible to solve the problem of gun violence. In 2008, the Supreme Court wrote Wayne LaPierre, CEO of the National Rifle Association (NRA), into the US Constitution.

  The Second Amendment of the American Constitution stipulates that "well-managed militia is necessary to ensure the security of a free state, so the people’s right to hold and carry weapons shall not be violated". According to the article, under this legal system, for those who believe that the US government should protect citizens from gun violence, the situation facing the US gun control is still grim.

What is the refining method of palm oil? What are the advantages and disadvantages of these methods?

Palm oil, as one of the most important vegetable oils in the world, its refining process involves many complicated steps. Understanding these refining methods and their advantages and disadvantages is the key to understand the market dynamics of palm oil for investors and practitioners in related industries.

First of all, the refining of palm oil usually begins with the harvest of palm fruit. Palm oil is extracted from the harvested palm fruit by pressing. This process is mainly divided into physical pressing and chemical extraction.

Physical pressing is the most traditional method, which squeezes palm oil from pulp by mechanical pressure. The advantage of this method is that it can retain the natural flavor and nutrients of palm oil and does not involve chemicals, so it is considered to be a more environmentally friendly choice. However, the output of physical pressing method is relatively low and the equipment cost is high, which limits its application in large-scale industrial production.

The chemical extraction method uses solvents such as hexane to extract palm oil. The advantages of this method are high yield, more oil can be extracted from pulp, and the equipment cost is low, which is suitable for large-scale production. However, one of the main disadvantages of chemical extraction method is that solvent may remain, which not only affects the quality of palm oil, but also may cause potential risks to the environment and human health.

Refining method advantage disadvantage​ Physical pressing method Preserves natural flavor and nutrients, and is environmentally friendly. Low output and high equipment cost. Chemical extraction method High output and low equipment cost. Solvent may remain, affecting quality and health.

After extracting palm oil, the next step is refining. The refining process includes degumming, deacidification, decoloration and deodorization, aiming at removing impurities and impure substances in palm oil and improving its quality and stability. Refined palm oil can be further processed into various products, such as edible oil and biodiesel.

The advantage of refining process is that it can significantly improve the quality of palm oil and make it more suitable for various applications. However, the refining process may also lead to the loss of some nutrients, and the complexity of refining equipment and technology increases the production cost.

Generally speaking, the refining methods of palm oil have their own advantages and disadvantages, and the choice of which method depends on the production scale, cost considerations and product quality requirements. For investors, understanding the differences of these refining methods is helpful to better grasp the supply and demand dynamics and price trend of palm oil market.

Mao Zedong’s Creation Background, Publication Process, Political Influence and Cultural Connotation of "Spring and Snow in the Qinyuan" (I) ‖ Hu Pingyuan

The Creation Background of Mao Zedong’s "Spring and Snow in the Qinyuan"

Publication process, political influence and cultural connotation

(I)

Hupingyuan

During the negotiations in Chongqing in 1945, Mr. Liu Yazi asked President Mao Zedong for poems, but it was difficult to plead. Mao Zedong wrote the book "Spring and Snow in Qinyuan" and gave it to Liu Yazi. After several copies, it was published in Chongqing Xinmin Daily Evening Magazine, which caused a sensation in the mountain city and was recited by ten thousand people. After the founding of People’s Republic of China (PRC), it was officially published in the inaugural issue of Poetry Magazine in 1957. Only two copies of the calligraphy of this word are Chairman Mao’s handwriting, which is very precious. As far as Ci is concerned, its political influence, cultural connotation and the value of calligraphy art are truly unprecedented and priceless.

Mao Zedong’s Qin Yuan Chun Xue

one

Political influence

Mao Zedong’s poems are an important part of Mao Zedong Thought. What is Mao Zedong Thought? General Secretary of the Supreme Leader said: "Mao Zedong Thought’s living soul has three basic aspects, which are seeking truth from facts, the mass line and independence." This thought is the truth of the great victory of China Revolution. So how far-reaching political influence and historical significance does "Qin Yuan Chun Xue" have? How was it presented to Mr. Liu Yazi? How was it published in Chongqing? The author carefully studies the humanities and sorts out textual research for readers.

On August 30, 1945, during the negotiations in Chongqing, Mao Zedong invited old friends to get together in Guiyuan apartment in Chongqing and hosted a banquet for Liu Yazi, Shen Junru and others. Liu Yazi organized Nanshe in his early years, followed Dr. Sun Yat-sen to participate in the Revolution of 1911, and worked with Mao Zedong during the Great Revolution. Because they both love classical poetry, they are more cordial than ordinary friends. During the banquet, Liu Yazi presented a poem of Mao Zedong’s Seven Rhymes, which said, "After leaving Yangcheng in the 19th autumn, meet again and shake hands to celebrate Yuzhou. The sky is brave and honest, and the people are chaotic everywhere. Lin Yu gave birth to the new country, and Yun Lei made history in the same boat. Zhongshan Carl Shuang Yuan joined together and smiled at Kunlun. " On September 2nd, Xinhua Daily published this poem with the title of "To Mao Runzhi’s Old Friends".

On September 6th, accompanied by Zhou Enlai and Wang Ruofei, Mao Zedong visited Liu Yazi in Jinnan Village of Nankai School in Shapingba, Chongqing. In Mr. Liu’s apartment, Liu Yazi asked Mao Zedong for poems. Therefore, Mao Zedong presented "Spring and Snow in Qinyuan" to Liu Yazi with a simple sentence: "When I first arrived in northern Shaanxi and saw the heavy snow, I filled in a word, which seemed to be slightly close to my husband’s poem, and recorded it for correction."

After Mr. Liu Yazi got the "Qin Yuan Chun Xue" inscribed by Chairman Mao, he regarded it as a treasure, that is, the poem "Qin Yuan Chun Er Yun and Mao Runzhi’s snow-singing work" was not entirely in accordance with the original meaning. Attach the original word: "Twenty years of reunion, a new word, meaning floating in the clouds." Sighing the stagnation of green plum wine, I am embarrassed; The Yellow River is turbid and surging all over the world. Adjacent to DiShanyang, Boren is up to me, and it is difficult to draw a sword to level the base. Very sad, crying unparalleled guoshi, peerless enchanting. Talent, faith and beauty are so charming. Look at the poets of the ages. Calculate Huangzhou satrap, still lose spirit; Jiaxuan lay man only solves complaints. Laughing more, Hu Er, Nalan Rong Ruo, and Yan Xiang carved with emotion. Jun and I want to go to heaven and land and seize the present. "

In May 1949, President Mao Zedong met with Mr. Liu Yazi at Shuangqing Villa in Xiangshan, Beijing (Source: Beijing Daily).

After Mao Zedong returned to Yan ‘an after the negotiations in Chongqing, Liu Yazi personally sent Mao Zedong’s "Qinyuan Spring Snow" and his poems to Xinhua Daily for publication. But the editor-in-chief of the newspaper told him that publishing Mao Zedong’s works (including poems) should ask Yan ‘an for instructions and get Mao Zedong’s consent. After consultation between the two sides, Mao Zedong’s "Qinyuan Spring Snow" will not be published for the time being, and only Mr. Liu Yazi’s harmony words will be published in the supplement of Xinhua Daily on November 11th of the same year. Because when Mr. Liu Yazi and Ci were published in Xinhua Daily, the title was Qinyuanchun, and the subtitle was "Secondary Rhyme and Mao Runzhi’s Poems on Snow, which were not in accordance with the original meaning", it aroused great interest of Chongqing people and they were eager to read Chairman Mao’s Poems on Snow first. Because Mr. Liu Yazi sent Mao Zedong’s original words and his harmony words to Xinhua Daily, Mao Zedong’s poems about snow have been read among some comrades in the newspaper.

In fact, the first reader of Mao Zedong’s Qin Yuan Chun Xue was not Liu Yazi, but the word was first spread by Liu Yazi’s propaganda. Who was the first to get the ink of Mao Zedong’s poems?

It turns out that on the eve of the Chongqing negotiations, Mao Zedong made a special trip to visit Mr. Sun Xiangong, whom he met in Changsha No.1 Division. Sun Xiangong used to be a professor at Changsha No.1 Normal University. He is versatile, unique in calligraphy and elegant in handwriting. When Mao Zedong was teaching in the primary school attached to No.1 Normal University, he had been admired by Sun Xiangong’s art calligraphy class. At that time, Mao Zedong benefited a lot. Later, he practiced calligraphy hard and formed his own artistic style, which benefited from the influence and advice of Sun Xiangong. This time Mao Zedong came to visit, and Sun Xiangong was ecstatic. After they exchanged pleasantries for a while, Mao Zedong took out a paper roll and handed it to Sun Xiangong, saying, "This is a slang word. I doodled it myself and gave it to my husband. Sir, let’s see if this word has improved. When I was a teacher, the essentials of calligraphy that my husband taught me have never been forgotten for twenty years. " Sun Xiangong carefully unfolded the paper roll, which turned out to be a horizontal axis, and it was Mao Zedong’s "Spring and Snow in Qinyuan". After watching carefully with wide eyes, Sun Xiangong couldn’t help exclaiming loudly, "Great! It’s really commendable that you are so busy and busy that you don’t forget the art of calligraphy! " I saw that the fonts on the spread paper were magnificent, the writing pens were long and snake, and they were hearty and chewed the text content, which was simply swallowing mountains and rivers. Calligraphy and poetry brought out the best in each other and were outstanding in literary talent. Sun Xiangong cooed and said, "Good! Ok! Ok! Antique, not mud in ancient times! You can get the essence of the ancients, but you can express it by heart, and you can’t do this without a solid foundation. What’s more, it’s not easy for you to create your own body by walking and grass! Your pen is free! "

Chairman Mao and Zhang Shizhao are together

During the negotiations in Chongqing, it was not Liu Yazi who talked about "Spring and Snow in the Qinyuan" in the second comment, but Yu Youren, a famous leftist figure and book saint of the Kuomintang. Yu Youren and Mao Zedong have a poetic relationship. Yu Youren thought that we should have a deep talk with Chairman Mao about poetry, so as to be worthy of the earnest concern of Chairman Mao Zedong and Vice Chairman Zhou Enlai. Then, at noon during the negotiations in Chongqing, Yu Youren specially hosted a luncheon for Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai and Wang Ruofei, and invited Zhang Zhizhong, Zhang Qun, Shao Lizi, Ding Weifen, Ye Chuchen and others to attend. Because Mao Zedong and Yu Youren, the sage of books, share the same interests and enjoy poetry, during the banquet, they murmured and talked about poetry. During the conversation, Yu Youren was full of praise for Mao Zedong’s "Spring and Snow in the Qinyuan", and the poem’s closing sentence "Count the romantic figures, but look at the present" was a quatrain, which was greatly appreciated and considered as the most beautiful sentence to inspire the younger generation. It was unprecedented, unprecedented and unparalleled. However, Chairman Mao said with great humility and humor: "How can it be worth the pen of the master’s’ Your Majesty asked me when I would recover the mountains and rivers’?"

Why did Chairman Mao make this statement? It turned out that in October 1941, during the Anti-Japanese War, Yu Youren visited the northwest. When he visited Genghis Khan’s mausoleum and the relics of the Western Expedition, he was poetically inspired and wrote a poem called "Yue Diao Tian Jing Sha", in which the whole word said, "Singing on the side of Xinglong Mountain, I once looked forward to invincible Jin Ge. After reading the testament and burning incense, the king asked me, when will the mountains and rivers be recovered? " After singing, Yu Youren and Mao Zedong couldn’t help laughing, and the whole room was full of laughter and happiness. Everyone congratulated Mao Zedong for making friends with poetry.

As Mao Zedong and Yu Youren are both great writers, it is not surprising that they improvise on the masterpieces of the ancients, but they can all recite each other’s poems, which shows that they have profound knowledge, memory is superman, and they are truly literary stars!

It is well known that Mao Zedong gave Liu Yazi a copy of "Spring and Snow in Qinyuan". At this time, Wu Zuguang, a famous playwright, served as the editor of the supplement "Western Night Tan" of Xinmin Evening Newspaper, a private newspaper in Chongqing. He first copied Mao Zedong’s lyrics from Huang Miaozi, while Huang Miaozi copied them from Wang Kunlun. There were some missing words in the manuscript, but he still understood the meaning of the lyrics. So, Wu Zuguang went to several places, even found a few people, put the copied books together, and finally got a complete work of "Spring and Snow in Qinyuan", which was immediately published in the supplement of Xinmin Evening News on November 14th. After the publication of the lyrics, it immediately caused a sensation in the mountain city, and at that time, it became a common practice and spread widely throughout the country.

On December 4, 1945, the Central Daily, the organ newspaper of the Kuomintang, was published in a big headline in the supplement. The Peace Supplement of the Kuomintang military Peace Daily (formerly known as Sweeping Newspaper) is full-page; Paul Yu Pin, the running dog of the U.S.-Chiang reactionaries and the leader of the Catholic reactionaries, published a batch of reactionary poems by means of false "readers’ contributions", distorting them wantonly and slandering them maliciously for no reason. Chiang Kai-shek directly ordered the Propaganda Department of the Kuomintang Central Committee to organize some literati and the Kuomintang literati who could write lyrics to write one or several lyrics of "Qinyuanchun" and carry out "crusade" in the name of singing. At the same time, select a poem that can surpass Mao Ci in artistic conception and momentum, and publish it in the name of the leader of the Kuomintang, so as to overwhelm Mao Zedong’s "Spring and Snow in Qinyuan".

Chiang Kai-shek also sent someone to Chen Bulei and said to him, "I think Mao Zedong’s ci has imperial thoughts. He wants to go back to the ancients and follow the example of Tang Zong and Song Zu and claim hegemony." And asked Chen Bulei: "You should quickly organize a group of people to write articles to criticize Mao Zedong’s’ Emperor Thought’ in the name of commenting on Mao Zedong’s poems, so as to let the people of the whole country know that Mao Zedong came to Chongqing not for peace talks, but for calling himself emperor."

Because of Chiang Kai-shek’s direct command, most of the more than 20 songs and works published in newspapers controlled by the Kuomintang contained malicious attacks and slanders from political parties. This great encirclement and suppression of counter-revolutionary culture is a historical joke of reactionary political culture led by Chiang Kai-shek and planned by the Propaganda Department of the Kuomintang Central Committee. The Kuomintang held a special black meeting for this purpose and assigned the main tasks to the Central Daily and Peace Daily. Because they are extremely reactionary in politics, although they started to be aggressive, after all, they were at their wits’ end and couldn’t come up with anything. On December 4, Central Daily News threw out two ugly and contemptuous works under the aliases of "Donglu Ci Poet" and "Yun Shi", and they were self-righteous. The Peace Daily, which was directly controlled by the Kuomintang Military Commission, served as Depth Charge, and Yi Junzuo, a shameless literati and design member of the third hall of the Political Department of the Kuomintang Military Commission, was a literary scholar. On December 4, 5, 10 and 13, and on January 3 and 25 of the following year, he published 15 reactionary poems and articles. However, Yi Junzuo’s "Qinyuanchun" just came out on December 4th and was immediately refuted by Objective magazine. He knew he wasn’t, and then "Spring in Puqin Garden" was really self-confessed, which was nothing more than "the gaffes of Wang Po".

The Kuomintang literati’s harmony words and poems and Mao’s ci "Qin Yuan Chun Xue" are simply worlds apart. How easy is it to shake a tree? "Spring and Snow in Qinyuan" is magnificent, flat and neat, catchy, beautiful and well-known! Even today, no one can compare it, which is a swan song of the ages! This is the political influence and historical significance of "Spring and Snow in Qinyuan".

["New Era, New Platform, New Opportunity"] Tangjiazhai Reservoir "Deformation Record": From "Stinky Ditch" to "Scenic Area" in one year.

Cctv news(Reporter wanglili Chi-Kin Leung) Recalling the first time I saw Tangjiazhai Reservoir in Xi ‘an, Pang Zhengxi, general manager of the Ecological Construction Company of Shaanxi Environmental Protection Group, was still haunted. "The water is dark and smelly. If you stay around for a while, you will cry and even vomit."

Tangjiazhai Reservoir was built in the 1970s, and once undertook the irrigation task of thousands of acres of farmland in surrounding villages. Since Jiangcungou landfill was built less than two kilometers upstream in 1994, it was quickly polluted by landfill leachate and became a stinking ditch, which seriously affected the lives of nearby villagers.

In the first four months of 2017, as the key supervision project of the Central Environmental Protection Inspector Group, the Inspector Group requested Xi ‘an to rectify Tangjiazhai Reservoir polluted by leachate from Jiangcungou Landfill, and the rectification should be completed by the end of December 2017.

Shaanxi Environmental Protection Group Ecological Construction Company undertakes the task of rectification. Speaking of the process of the treatment project, Pang Zhengxi said frankly that the construction is very difficult in the face of the problems of sludge deposition and accumulation for more than 20 years and the inability of large machinery to enter the site at the same time. After comprehensive treatment projects such as solidification and landfill of sludge in the pond, anti-seepage treatment and construction of artificial wetland water circulation system, on April 16, 2018, the national environmental protection department officially completed the acceptance and cancellation of this project, and the former stinking ditch became a scenic spot today.

Tangjiazhai Reservoir Management is only a project case of Shaanxi Environmental Protection Group since its establishment. On May 11th, in the b3 Industry Hall of Xi ‘an Qujiang International Convention and Exhibition Center, Shaanxi Environmental Protection Group, as the only state-owned eco-environmental comprehensive enterprise in Shaanxi Province, held a centralized exhibition with the projects and products of its 19 subsidiaries and 2 regional branches.

The reporter saw that in the exhibition hall, there is not only a smart and environmentally-friendly atmospheric intelligent grid platform that integrates science and technology, but also an atlas of rural garbage and sewage treatment, as well as a kitchen waste processor closely related to life.

The relevant person in charge of Shaanxi Environmental Protection Group said in an interview that Shaanxi Environmental Protection Group has always focused on sludge treatment like Tangjiazhai, focusing on solving the problems of solid waste disposal, air pollution prevention and control, urban and rural environmental sanitation integration, etc. Now, they have set up the province’s first 15 billion yuan environmental protection industry investment fund, all of which are demonstrating their confidence in becoming stronger and better, and their determination to protect the green water and green mountains of Sanqin.

Vermicelli is a kind of traditional food deeply loved by Chinese people, and it has a long history of processing. There have been records about making vermicelli in ancient books such as Qi Min Yao Shu and Compendium of Materia Medica. Vermicelli is a strip-shaped, filamentary or ribbon-shaped product mainly made of starch such as potatoes and beans through the processes of mixing, molding, cooling and drying. According to the standard GB/T23587-2009, vermicelli is called "vermicelli" if the product diameter is more than ≤1 mm, and vermicelli is called "vermicelli" if the diameter is less than or equal to 1 mm. Generally speaking, vermicelli is better than vermicelli.

Vermicelli is rich in raw materials, simple in production and operation, diverse in product forms, deeply loved by consumers, with broad market prospects and rapid development of the industry. Vermicelli products can be eaten in a variety of ways, such as mixing, frying, steaming, stewing and cooking. At present, vermicelli products have become one of the essential foods on the table of Chinese consumers, and many vermicelli products have been widely exported to Japan, South Korea, the United States and Europe and other countries and regions.

However, with the development of social economy and the improvement of people’s living standards in China, consumers’ demand for high-quality, nutritious, convenient and diversified foods is increasing day by day, as well as economic restrictions, the problems affecting the healthy development of vermicelli industry in China are becoming increasingly prominent, and counterfeiting incidents occur frequently, which has attracted the attention of our government and relevant departments.

What do you know about "poison vermicelli"?

Where did the vermicelli come from?

The picture comes from the Internet.

At the 315 party in 2022, CCTV exposed the "fake sweet potato vermicelli in Yuzhou" because cassava starch was used as the inferior sweet potato starch. The ingredients of an "iron stick yam vermicelli" produced in Yuzhou City, Henan Province read: whole juice of iron stick yam, sweet potato starch and drinking water, but the actual yam composition is only about 20%, and the main raw material is unlabeled cassava powder. Some responsible persons said that using cassava starch instead of sweet potato starch was a hidden rule in the industry for 10 years. "All of them are made of cassava, with a good conscience and more sweet potato powder."

What are the hazards of "poison vermicelli"

The picture comes from the Internet.

Sweet potato starch contains carotene and vitamin C, and it is also found that sweet potato contains anticancer substances with high nutritional value. Two kilograms of sweet potato starch can produce about one kilogram of vermicelli. The price of one kilogram of sweet potato starch is between 3.5 yuan and 4 yuan, while the market price of one kilogram of pure sweet potato vermicelli is about 8 yuan. The profit of producing sweet potato vermicelli with pure sweet potato starch is very thin, but the price of one kilogram of cassava starch is only 1.8 yuan, and the purpose of shoddy is to maximize profits. From the appearance, both kinds of starch are white and delicate, and it is difficult to distinguish the vermicelli if it is not compared in detail, so merchants use these characteristics to "confuse the fake with the real".

The picture comes from the Internet.

In addition to the price, consumers will be detrimental to the interests. The most daunting thing is that cassava starch is toxic when eaten raw. The roots, stems, leaves and skins of cassava all contain a toxic substance called "cyanosides". Fresh cassava is the most toxic, and eating 150g raw may lead to poisoning. In 2019, there were incidents of "eating cassava poisoning" in Yunnan and Guangxi. However, this kind of "cyanoside" will disappear at a high temperature above 70℃, so cassava starch needs to be heated before it can be eaten, while ordinary starch has no natural toxin and can be eaten directly. This kind of "fake sweet potato starch", once a large number of raw vermicelli are eaten by mistake, or cassava is not peeled when it is made into starch, the consequences are unimaginable and there are great security risks. Long-term consumption of this food containing "cyanosides" will also pose a serious threat to health.

How to distinguish "poison vermicelli"?

Look at the color

The picture comes from the Internet.

The color of sweet potato vermicelli is yellow and dark; Cassava vermicelli is white, transparent and smooth to the touch.

However, many manufacturers of vermicelli intentionally add food pigment instead of the color of sweet potato vermicelli in order to save costs and earn high profits to the maximum extent. In this case, we must use the second method to assist in identification-smell.

Smell

After the pure sweet potato vermicelli is soaked in hot water, the water in the bowl is still clear, the vermicelli does not fade, and the faint sweet potato flavor can be smelled; After cassava vermicelli was soaked in hot water, the water became turbid, and the vermicelli was crystal clear, but it smelled without any smell.

Toughness and bending degree

The picture comes from the Internet.

In the dry state, sweet potato vermicelli is very brittle and brittle, and it will break when it is folded. Therefore, there will be a lot of crumbs on the shelf where sweet potato vermicelli is placed, and it is easy to soften when cooked in a pot. On the other hand, if the vermicelli is very tough and needs scissors to cut it off, it means that the vermicelli is not pure sweet potato vermicelli because various ingredients such as gelatin and cassava powder were added in the production process.

Burn with fire

Sweet potato starch is made of sweet potato with high starch content, and its tissue shape is composed of tiny particles, which is not strong in water absorption and has the characteristics of crystallinity. After being lit with a lighter, it will emit black smoke, but it will not produce a pungent smell. After burning, it will produce black powder, which will become fine powder with a gentle pinch. However, if the noodles made of cassava powder are ignited with a lighter, they will not burn fully. If you pinch the powder by hand, you will find that the hardness of the powder is stronger, and even there will be tiny particles that cannot be pinched.

Tips

When buying sweet potato vermicelli, don’t be greedy for cheap, get what you want for a price, be vigilant about this matter and let your family and yourself have peace of mind.

Xiaomi on the tuyere, why is it heavy in Nanjing?

Wuxiangjun Nanjing released

Xiaomi on the tuyere, why is it heavy in Nanjing?

□ Non-phase business trends

01

What is the biggest advantage of Xiaomi Automobile?

Lei Jun said that intelligence and ecology are the core advantages of Xiaomi. Xiaomi SU7 can be interconnected with Xiaomi’s mobile phones, tablets, computers and household appliances. "People, cars and homes are all ecological", which connects all intelligent terminals together as never before. With the listing of Xiaomi Automobile, a group of automobile ecological supply chains with Kechuang as the core has gradually taken shape.

Recently, the first phase of the East China Headquarters Project of Xiaomi Group was completed, and it is estimated that 5,000 people will be stationed in the office after its opening in April. Xiaomi Group’s East China headquarters is located in Jianye, Nanjing, just across the street from Alibaba’s Jiangsu headquarters. It will become the largest R&D center in China except Xiaomi’s Beijing headquarters. It is committed to the breakthrough of new technologies and new formats, the development of intelligent hardware and the Internet of Things, and the creation of Xiaomi’s ecological chain by integrating upstream and downstream industries and enterprises. In addition, Xiaomi has also opened a large-scale "Xiaomi Automobile Delivery Center" in the southern new city of Nanjing.

It is worth mentioning that in order to "move" talents from Beijing to Nanjing, Xiaomi’s salary is basically unchanged. It will also provide talented apartments, and employees will immediately receive high benefits such as housing purchase qualifications. Many Xiaomi technicians are eager for such generous treatment of "migratory birds". After all, compared with Beijing, Nanjing’s housing prices, prices, transportation, education and ecological environment are more livable. With the advantages of cultural tourism resources, the topic of "Come to Nanjing" in Weibo has been screened many times, and many tourists come to punch in because of Nanjing’s convenient transportation and countless beautiful scenery.

A friend of Xiaomi said that in Nanjing, the cost of buying a home is only 6 million, while Beijing needs 30 million.

Of course, Xiaomi’s settlement in Nanjing is not all about "welfare" for employees, but more importantly, it is to expand the progress of research and development and promote the improvement of Xiaomi’s ecological chain.

Looking at East China, Nanjing is undoubtedly the best choice.

Because all cities where Internet companies are developing rapidly are inseparable from the core factor-the support of talents. One of the most important reasons for Xiaomi to put the country’s largest headquarters in Beijing is the support of many universities. It is also based on this perspective that the largest R&D center outside Beijing is located in Nanjing.

What many people don’t know is that many international and domestic manufacturers have their R&D headquarters in Nanjing. As a highland of science and education, as of June 2023, Nanjing has 51 universities, including Nanda University, Dongda University, Nanyou University, China Southern Airlines, South Institute of Technology and Hehai University. This point, in the whole East China region, is second to none. Moreover, compared with Shanghai and Beijing, the R&D cost is relatively low and the cost performance ratio is full.

Lei Jun, as an invisible boss in China’s investment circle, is well versed in the strategic layout. As a technological innovation enterprise, Xiaomi’s core competitiveness is actually talents. Where do these talents come from? Naturally, it comes from top universities.

Both NTU and NTU boarded the hot search because of the "Alumni IPO". According to incomplete statistics, since 2020, the Department of Photochemistry of Nanjing University has harvested six listed companies with a total market value of over 150 billion yuan, including Aidi Pharmaceutical, Legend Bio, Trina Solar, Heyu Medicine, Huahai Chengke and Tengya Seiko. At the other end of the Southeast University, Kelly Y Zhou, founder of Zhihu, Yu Dunde, CEO of Tuniu.com, Mao Daqing, founder of Youke Workshop, Qiu Yujing, a chip unicorn, and others also came out of Southeast University.

Boston in the United States has always been known as "Athens in the United States" and "the cradle of American industrial revolution". Because there are more than 250 thousand college students here, and there are famous schools such as Harvard, MIT, Tufts University, Boston University and Northeastern University. At the same time, Boston has a high proportion of people with college education or above, which is consistent with Nanjing.

Nanjing is to the Yangtze River Delta what Boston is to the New York metropolitan area.

03

Because of the gathering of talents, Nanjing has not only attracted a large number of scientific research factories, but also enjoyed a long-standing reputation in the manufacturing industry driven by these scientific research forces.

For example, Inventec, the main foundry of Xiaomi mobile phone, is located in Nanjing. Xiaomi just entered the mobile phone market in 2010, and many big manufacturers are unwilling to help OEM. In the end, Xiaomi found Inventec, and Inventec tailored a cost-effective design and supply chain for Xiaomi. Five years later, Xiaomi mobile phone won the first place in the country with an annual sales record of 70 million units. Lei Jun has feelings for the city of Nanjing.

In addition, according to Wind’s statistics, there are currently 50 listed companies that have entered the "Xiaomi Automobile Concept". In terms of cities, Jiangsu Province ranks first, with 15 Xiaomi automobile suppliers located in Jiangsu, accounting for 30%. Xiaomi automobile relies on ecology, and the integration of ecology often needs the support of software technology. Nanjing, as a "famous software city in China" and a national advanced manufacturing cluster (software and information services), has sustained and strong industrial development, and has gathered many game, scientific research and commercial software enterprises. This kind of atmosphere is an important pillar of an Internet company, and it is handy to put software research and development in Nanjing.

Of course, there is also a very pragmatic component. The cost of employing IT workers in Nanjing is lower than that in Shanghai and Hangzhou in East China, and the land price is relatively cheap. The government also provides support, which is very cost-effective for enterprises to start their own businesses. According to Xiaomi’s financial report, Xiaomi’s R&D personnel account for 52%, and more than half of its employees are engaged in R&D, and it is estimated that the investment in R&D will exceed 100 billion in the next five years.

The development of science and technology enterprises mainly depends on two factors, talents and capital. Putting the R&D headquarters in Nanjing not only has the source of living water, but also saves costs. Why not?

Nanjing has both talent gathering effect and industrial manufacturing support. Compared with other non-first-tier cities, Nanjing has great advantages in intellectual research and development, and it is not an exaggeration to call it "the city of scientific research". As a science and technology highland in China, Xiaomi is in a heavy position in Nanjing, just to take advantage of its intelligence and supply chain to quickly push the development of Xiaomi’s ecology to the fast lane.

This is the second half of Xiaomi Automobile, and it is also a leap from "manufacturing" to "intellectual creation" of Xiaomi Automobile.

Triple Logic of Chinese Modernization

  [In-depth study, publicity and implementation of the spirit of the 20th Party Congress]

  Author: Zhong Ruitian (chief expert and professor of "Research Center of Marxist Theory and Regional Practice" in Guangxi University)

  When meeting with Chinese and foreign journalists in the 20th CPC The Politburo Standing Committee (PSC), General Secretary of the Supreme Leader stressed: "Chinese modernization is the result of long-term practice and exploration by the people of the Communist Party of China (CPC) and China, and it is a great and arduous undertaking." A deep understanding of the theoretical logic, historical logic and practical logic of Chinese-style modernization is of great theoretical significance and practical value for inspiring us to be confident and self-reliant and strive for a new journey of building a socialist modernized country in an all-round way.

  Chinese modernization has inherited and developed the ideal pursuit of a better life.

  The theoretical origin of Chinese-style modernization is diverse, and the most important thing is the inheritance and development of Marxist modernization theory and the promotion and transcendence of Chinese excellent traditional culture.

  Marxist social ideal points out the direction for Chinese modernization. Marxism holds that productivity is the most active and revolutionary factor to promote social progress. As a negation of the feudal system, the capitalist system has played a very revolutionary role in history. "The productive forces created in its less than 100-year class rule are more than all the productive forces created by all generations in the past." However, Marx and Engels’ research on social development has never been "productivity-only theory", but put productivity and production relations, economic base and superstructure together for research. Under the capitalist system, productive labor is alienated into "the rule of capitalists over workers is the rule of things over people, the rule of dead labor over living labor, and the rule of products over producers", and the result is the accumulation of capitalist wealth and the relative poverty of the proletariat. Capitalist private ownership is the root of labor alienation. Only by overthrowing the capitalist system and establishing the socialist system can the proletarian revolution "provide all people with healthy and beneficial jobs, provide all people with ample material life and leisure time, and provide all people with real and full freedom".

  China’s rich social ideals in ancient times provided beneficial nourishment for Chinese modernization. The "Great Harmony Society" is an ideal society put forward by the ancient people in China. The so-called "the trip to the avenue is also the public, the world is public, the talents and abilities are chosen, and the trust is maintained." "People don’t only kiss their relatives, they don’t have their only sons and daughters, so that they can get old, be strong and useful, and have their own strengths." "Goods are evil and abandoned in the ground, so there is no need to hide them from themselves; If you hate it, you don’t have to do it for yourself. " Chinese excellent traditional culture rejects and despises social behaviors that harm others’ self-interest, harm nature and justice, be rich and heartless, and be mercenary, and advocates and praises the ideological concepts of respecting benevolence and love, valuing people’s interests, keeping honesty, stressing dialectics, respecting harmony and seeking common ground. Although the ideas of our forefathers were only a vision of the social picture, they also provided important enlightenment for the Chinese modernization theory.

  Chinese modernization is the historical achievement of the Communist Party of China (CPC)’s endeavor and exploration.

  The modern history of China has fully proved the profound truth that "you will be beaten if you fall behind". When we fight against the muskets and cannons of the great powers with broadswords and spears, when our agricultural civilization and almost blank modern industry are forced to fight against the mature industrial civilization and complete industrial system in the West, it can only be the end of rout. In the face of suffering, the people of China did not give in, but stood up and fought. People of insight from generation to generation began to explore the plan of saving the nation from extinction. The Westernization Movement, which aimed at the modernization of utensils, put forward the idea of "learning from foreigners to control foreigners", resulting in the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, which declared the disillusionment of the dream of modernization of utensils. The 100-day reform, which aimed at system modernization, carried out the "New Deal", abolished stereotyped writing and promoted new learning. As a result, it died under the ruthless suppression of the old school headed by Empress Dowager Cixi. The Revolution of 1911 led by Sun Yat-sen overthrew the feudal monarchy that lasted for thousands of years in China and established a bourgeois democratic republic. However, the fruits of victory were almost ruined by Yuan Shikai’s restoration of the monarchy. China’s modern modernization exploration fully shows that "in a semi-colonial, semi-feudal and divided China, many people have dreamed this dream for many years, but they have all been disillusioned".

  In the face of China’s suffering, the Communist Party of China (CPC)’s primary historical task is to create fundamental social conditions for China’s modernization. The birth of the Communist Party of China (CPC) profoundly changed the direction and process of the development of the Chinese nation in modern times, and profoundly changed the future and destiny of the people of China and the Chinese nation. During the arduous period of the new-democratic revolution, the Communist Party of China (CPC) people fought bloody battles and persevered, that is, to "make the Chinese nation make a big turn over", to overthrow the three mountains that weighed on the people of China, "to change from a semi-colonial country to a truly independent country" and "to create a prerequisite for changing from an agricultural country to an industrial country", and then to build a "civilized and advanced China ruled by a new culture". This historical task is the political prerequisite for realizing modernization in China. The victory of the new-democratic revolution has made the Chinese nation end the era of being trampled upon and bullied forever, and started the historical process of independently exploring modernization and realizing national rejuvenation.

  The primary task after the founding of New China is to lay a fundamental political premise and institutional foundation for modernization. Under the brand-new historical conditions, on the one hand, the Communist Party of China (CPC) established and consolidated the state power of the people’s democratic dictatorship, and established the basic political system and the basic political system to ensure that the people are masters of their own affairs. Through the socialist transformation of agriculture, handicrafts and capitalist industry and commerce, it established the socialist economic foundation and realized the most extensive and profound social changes in the history of the Chinese nation; On the other hand, it began an active exploration to realize modernization, and based on the worldwide consensus at that time, it put forward the modernization goal of "changing from an agricultural country to an industrial country". After a period of exploration, the Communist Party of China (CPC) formally put forward the task of "building China into a powerful socialist country with modern agriculture, modern industry, modern national defense and modern science and technology", and China’s modernization entered a new historical stage.

  Theoretical innovation and successful practice in the new period of reform, opening up and socialist modernization have established the fundamental direction and main path of Chinese modernization, and the modernization process in China has shown an accelerated development trend. During this period, the achievements of our party’s exploration of modernization are mainly reflected in: putting forward that socialist modernization is our biggest politics at present, "because it represents the greatest and most fundamental interests of the people"; Our modernization is to develop the socialist economy, and it is by no means a modernization in which only a few people get rich; Under the socialist conditions, the main motive force for the development of modernization is reform and opening up, which is a key measure to determine the fate of contemporary China and the success or failure of modernization. The layout of Chinese-style modernization must follow the road of civilized development of production development, affluent life and good ecology, comprehensively promote socialist economic construction, political construction, cultural construction, social construction and ecological civilization construction, and strive to accelerate the realization of people-oriented, comprehensive, coordinated and sustainable scientific development.

  Ten years of great practice in the new era has successfully promoted and expanded Chinese modernization.

  Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, Socialism with Chinese characteristics has entered a new era and Chinese modernization has entered a new stage. Under the strong leadership of the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core, and under the guidance of the Supreme Leader’s Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought in the new era, our party has been innovative in theory and formed a more perfect theoretical system of Chinese modernization; In terms of practical results, it has withstood the test of risks and challenges from economy, politics, ideology and nature, created great achievements of Socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era, and advanced the great cause of modernization at a steady pace. The decade of the new era has provided a more perfect system guarantee, a more solid material foundation and a more active spiritual strength for realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, and successfully promoted and expanded Chinese modernization. The grand blueprint of Chinese-style modernization drawn by the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China is a comprehensive summary of "deepening understanding, maturing strategy and enriching practice" in the new era for ten years, and it is the fundamental road to comprehensively promote the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation with Chinese-style modernization.

  Adhering to the Communist Party of China (CPC)’s leadership and Socialism with Chinese characteristics is the essential requirement of Chinese modernization. The Communist Party of China (CPC)’s century-long struggle history fully proves that without the Communist Party of China (CPC), there would be no socialism, let alone socialist modernization. Building Chinese-style modernization is a great and arduous undertaking, and it is necessary to "be prepared to withstand the major test of high winds, high waves and even stormy waves" at any time. Only by upholding and strengthening the party’s overall leadership can we ensure the correct direction of modernization, make all the people have a reliable backbone when the storm strikes, and gather the majestic power to overcome the difficulties with one heart and one mind.

  Building modernization with China characteristics based on national conditions. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out: "Chinese-style modernization is a socialist modernization led by the Communist Party of China (CPC), which has both the common characteristics of modernization in all countries and the characteristics of China based on its own national conditions." The realization of Chinese-style modernization will completely rewrite the world map of modernization, fully reflect the essential requirements of Socialism with Chinese characteristics, fully reflect the people-centered development thought in the new era, and fully reflect the overall appearance of Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s all-round development and progress.

  Adhere to the courage to struggle and rely on tenacious struggle to open a new world of Chinese modernization. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader warned the whole Party, "Be sure to keep in mind Do not forget your initiative mind’s mission, be modest and prudent, work hard, dare to struggle and be good at it". Only it is arduous, so it is great; Only it is arduous and more glorious. The historical process of comprehensively promoting the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation with Chinese modernization is bound to be full of difficulties, obstacles and risks. To realize Chinese-style modernization, the whole party and the people of all ethnic groups in China must have strong enough "ambition, backbone, confidence, unbelief in evil, fear of ghosts, fear of pressure, advance despite difficulties and face difficulties", and open up a new world of career development with fearless courage and tenacious struggle.

  The construction and successful practice of Chinese-style modernization theory system has surpassed the western modernization model with liberalism, capital supremacy and western centralism as its pillars, and provided a Chinese plan for human society, especially developing countries, to explore the modernization road suitable for their own national conditions in practice, making epoch-making contributions.

New Ideas for Revitalizing Northeast China under New Stage, New Concept and New Pattern

  Author: Liang Qidong, vice president and researcher of Liaoning Academy of Social Sciences.

  Northeast China is the earliest established old industrial base featuring heavy chemical industry in China. It has a number of strategic industries and key enterprises related to the lifeline of the national economy and national security. In the course of decades of development, it has made historic contributions to the improvement of the national industrial system and the national economic system, the country’s reform, opening up and modernization. However, in recent years, Northeast China is facing new difficulties under the conditions of market economy. For example, the new features of regional industrial development have not been systematically formed, the economic ranking has moved backward, the brain drain is serious, and the task of adjusting the economic structure is arduous. Then, how to accurately grasp the core connotation, strategic positioning and key tasks of the revitalization of Northeast China from the historical mission entrusted by the central authorities? The author thinks, answer from the following angles.

  First, the revitalization of Northeast China in the new era is a comprehensive revitalization and all-round revitalization.

  The General Secretary of the Supreme Leader emphasized the promotion of the revitalization of Northeast China with new weather and new actions, and clearly put forward the revitalization of Northeast China in the new era, which is a comprehensive revitalization and all-round revitalization. How to understand "all-round revitalization and all-round revitalization"? Here, we should have a clear understanding of the connotation and objectives of the revitalization of Northeast China. "All-round revitalization and all-round revitalization" far exceeds and deepens the connotation and extension of the strategy of "Revitalizing the Old Industrial Bases in Northeast China", which includes the revitalization and development of industries, cities, infrastructure, ecological construction, foreign trade, talents and other industries, and embodies the "all-round" economic and social development; "All-round revitalization" is a three-dimensional revitalization, including industrial revitalization, including the revitalization of manufacturing, equipment manufacturing, energy industry, etc., as well as the revitalization of agriculture and service industry.

  Specifically. There are "five inequalities" in the revitalization of Northeast China: revitalization is not only industrial revitalization, but also the coordinated development of three industries; Revitalization is not only the revitalization of state-owned economy, but also the development of private economy; Revitalization is not only the revitalization of a few large and medium-sized enterprises, but also the development of a large number of small and micro enterprises; Revitalization is not only the revitalization of cities, but also the overall planning of urban and rural areas, so as to realize the comprehensive promotion of county economy and rural economy and take the road of urban-rural integration development; Revitalization is not only economic revitalization, but also the coordinated and sustainable development of economy, society, culture and ecology. Therefore, the revitalization of Northeast China is a long-term process, which may require the efforts of several generations and cannot be achieved overnight. It is hoped that through several documents and policies, several major projects and a large amount of investment, the revitalization can be realized and simplified. To promote the revitalization of Northeast China, it is necessary to have stability, continuity and accumulation.

  Second, promote the comprehensive revitalization of Northeast China in the new era and form a strong support for the country’s major strategy

  Better serve the new development pattern of "double cycle".Northeast China has a good foundation in industry, resources, ecology and location. Robots, medical CT, high-grade CNC machine tools, gas turbines, large tankers and other products are competitive in the international market. At the same time, Northeast China has a population of 100 million, which has huge market demand and consumption potential. These are good foundations and favorable conditions for expanding domestic demand and building a new development pattern for services in Northeast China. Therefore, the northeast region should organically combine the strategic basis of expanding domestic demand with the main line of supply-side structural reform, realize the comprehensive revitalization of the northeast in building a new development pattern, and build a new development pattern with the comprehensive revitalization and better service of the northeast.

  On the one hand, we should give full play to the advantages of scene resources in industrial digitalization and data resources in digital industrialization in Northeast China, do a good job in opening up scene resources and data resources, promote the deep integration of digital economy and real economy, and cultivate and expand digital industrial clusters. Find the right focus on solving the "stuck neck" problem and contribute wisdom in the fields of new materials, fine chemicals, high-end equipment manufacturing, semiconductor chip manufacturing equipment, and industrial basic software. Advance the layout of future industries such as additive manufacturing, flexible electronics, third-generation semiconductor, quantum technology and energy storage materials, build logo products and leading enterprises, form a new industrial echelon, and contribute to the Northeast in improving the independent controllability of the industrial chain supply chain.

  On the other hand, in the field of industrial advantages, intensive cultivation, the implementation of industrial base reconstruction projects, lay a solid foundation for basic parts, basic processes, key basic materials and so on. Build a substantial Industry-University-Research Alliance, so that enterprises can truly become the main body of technological innovation, invest all kinds of innovative resources in enterprises, and enterprises can form a community of interests with universities and research institutes through contractual relations, so that the Industry-University-Research Alliance has an endogenous driving force for innovation and the achievements of technological innovation can be transformed into social reality productivity as soon as possible. It is necessary to develop and expand scientific and technological enterprises, accelerate the introduction of scientific and technological enterprises, especially "young eagle", "gazelle" and "unicorn" enterprises, and let the flowers of innovation bloom all over the northeast.

  Form a strong support for the country’s major strategy in the "five major security".General Secretary of the Supreme Leader profoundly pointed out that Northeast China is an important industrial and agricultural base in China, and it is very important to maintain the strategic position of national defense security, food security, ecological security, energy security and industrial security, which is related to the overall situation of national development. Northeast China is the cradle of new China’s industry and an important industrial and agricultural base in China. It has a number of strategic industries related to the lifeline of the national economy and national security, with strong supporting capacity in resources, industry, science and education, talents and infrastructure, and great development space and potential. Accelerating the comprehensive revitalization of Northeast China is a strategic measure to promote the strategic adjustment of economic structure and improve the international competitiveness of China’s industries, an important task to promote regional coordinated development and create a new economic support belt, and an objective requirement to optimize and adjust the layout of state-owned assets and give full play to the leading role of the state-owned economy. Accelerating the overall revitalization of Northeast China is an important deployment to improve the strategic layout of China’s opening to the outside world and a powerful guarantee for safeguarding national food security and building an ecological security barrier in the north.

  "Five major security" is the orientation of the times for the revitalization of Northeast China. From the change of northeast orientation, we can see the new ideas and strategies of regional coordinated development in China. The central government no longer emphasizes the ranking of GDP growth in various regions, but determines the positioning of different regions from the perspective of a national chess game, emphasizing that all regions give full play to their own advantages and help each other between regions, so that advantageous regions have more room for development. In the historical orientation of the new era, the revitalization of Northeast China should be grasped from the perspective of coordinating the overall layout of "five in one" and coordinating the promotion of "four comprehensive" strategic layouts. This orientation is the requirement of the times for Northeast China, and it is more mission-oriented. Northeast China undertakes the task of safeguarding the "five major security" of the country, and it should take the maintenance of the "five major security" as its political mission.

  Third, plan the development layout of the 14 th Five-Year Plan in advance to revitalize the Northeast economy from a higher starting point

  Do a good job in the "three big articles" of industrial structure adjustment. Industry is the traditional advantage of Northeast China. Industrial prosperity leads to northeast prosperity, and the revitalization of the northeast needs industrial revitalization first. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out that it is an arduous task for Heilongjiang to change its mode and adjust its structure, and efforts should be made to optimize the industrial structure, transform and upgrade the "old brand", deeply develop the "original brand name" and cultivate and expand the "new brand name". To transform and upgrade the "time-honored brand", it is necessary to empower and increase efficiency for the "time-honored brand" industry with the new generation of information technologies such as artificial intelligence, big data and Internet of Things, especially to enhance the intelligent level of manufacturing industry from the whole chain of independent research and development, design, manufacturing and system integration, and promote the upgrading of manufacturing industry to the direction of intelligence, green, high-end and service. In order to develop the original brand name deeply, it is necessary to supplement, extend and strengthen the chain of the original brand name industrial chain such as metallurgy and petrochemical, change the situation that there is more refining but less chemical, more coarse chemical and less fine chemical, more raw materials and less value-added chain, and promote the development of the original brand name industry to the middle and high end of the industrial chain value chain. To cultivate and grow "The new brand name is to vigorously promote the development of strategic emerging industries, high-tech manufacturing and high-tech service industries, and vigorously develop the digital economy.

  Turn the short board of location into a long board of open cooperation. In the framework of "One Belt, One Road", Northeast China has a unique location advantage. The northeast is backed by Eurasia, bordering Russia, North Korea and Mongolia, facing Japan and South Korea across the sea, and connected with the European land and sea passage. It is an important node in the construction of the "Belt and Road" and an important gateway connecting Eurasia. Northeast China is the geographical center of Northeast Asia, which brings together four top 12 economic entities in the world, including China, Japan, Russia and South Korea, as well as North Korea, Mongolia and other countries, with great economic development potential. There are many open cities along the long sea-land border in Northeast China. Taking advantage of geographical advantages to integrate the development of Northeast China into the "Belt and Road", build a new highland of open cooperation, deepen the deep and wide ties with Northeast Asia, Central Asia and Europe, enhance the internal and external linkage ability of development, and gain more development opportunities in a broader world. This is the only way for the comprehensive revitalization of Northeast China.

  Facing the national opening chess game and the changing international situation, the opening up of Northeast China should not only focus on the trade of goods, but also be planned from a strategic perspective and a global perspective. In terms of opening strategy, we should be more imaginative, do a good job in opening coastal economic belts and borders, build an important window for China’s opening to the north and a hub for cooperation in Northeast Asia, build an important hub for the interconnection of the Silk Road, a frontier platform for economic and trade cooperation, and an important link for humanities exchanges, and build a new pattern of land and sea planning and all-round opening up. In the open layout, we should have a broader vision, highlight industrial characteristics, and strive to cultivate new advantages in foreign trade export competition. For example, Liaoning should increase the opening of the coastal economic belt and build an important platform for open cooperation between China, Japan and China and South Korea; Jilin should speed up the development and opening up of Changchun-Jilin-Tumen and promote international cooperation in Tumen River region. Heilongjiang should speed up all-round cooperation with Russia and promote the joint protection and development of Heixiazi Island. In terms of open design, we should make greater moves, promote the construction of major infrastructure projects, improve the service level of channels, actively promote the construction of free trade pilot zones, and replicate and promote the reform experience of free trade pilot zones; Promote the implementation of a number of major landmark projects using foreign capital and support leading enterprises to strengthen foreign cooperation; Create a bridgehead and hub station for Sino-Russian cooperation, and accelerate major cross-border infrastructure projects such as the Sino-Russian natural gas pipeline and the Sino-Russian coastal international traffic corridor; Promote economic cooperation among China, Japan and South Korea, develop advantageous industrial clusters, and achieve multilateral cooperation and win-win results. In the open operation, we should take more hard measures, innovate investment channels and create an investment environment.Determine the focus of attracting investment, so that distant friends are willing to stay; It is necessary to deepen the reform of the administrative system, vigorously simplify administration and decentralize power, and exchange the "subtraction" of government power for the "addition" of opening up; Constantly improve policies and measures to expand opening up and promote investment and trade facilitation.
