Rebuilding a car with AI, you can’t just rub the heat

"Access to DeepSeek" was the hottest word in the car circle in the past few months, but it was the hottest word in the car circle. Now that the noise has subsided and returned to reason, it is time to seriously discuss how AI will reshape the car.

Let’s put a conclusion here first:AI may be the key point of qualitative change of automobile intelligence.

The reason lies in the evolution direction of several core plates of automobile intelligence, all pointing to the ability demand of AI big model: intelligent cockpit should be able to provide more personalized customization or active service; The "end-to-end" required by intelligent driving requires faster and more flexible understanding and decision-making ability; As the bottom support, automotive electronic and electrical architecture is turning to domain centralization and central computing in an all-round way, which requires centralized and flexible scheduling of computing power.

The characteristics of AI big model are also the key solution: the universal base provides a computing base combining end and cloud, and the big model is good at coordinating multi-party information and making quick decisions, especially in the face of common travel scenarios, which can form solutions and give direction suggestions and references in the face of special situations such as corner case.

This has made clear the key to the next generation competition of automobile intelligence, and it may even be the biggest change that automobile, as a tool for human travel, faces in a century of development:AI will become the infrastructure of the next generation of smart cars.

However, it will still take time for AI to reshape the car: the construction of infrastructure is by no means a day’s work. If there is no fundamental integration and transformation of the underlying technology, just like this wave of car companies focusing on marketing, it is neither decent nor honest to make a simple dialogue interface between people and cars, or even to fool directly with a web browser.

Going around, the serious evolution from the beginning of infrastructure depends on the determination and thinking of the giants.

On March 3rd, Geely held a conference on AI intelligent technology, which revitalized the seemingly irrelevant "idle chess" in various fields, demonstrating the first in-depth thinking result of AI as a smart car infrastructure.

Dimension reduction from the beginning of infrastructure

Geely may be the first car company in the automobile circle to seriously discuss the construction of AI infrastructure.

Compared with the "grand strategy" that friends like to announce in the AI field, Geely spent nearly one-third of the conference space, and invited Yin Qi, an AI industry expert and chairman of Qianli Technology, to share the basic judgment on the development of AI big model from the perspective of automobile industry as a member of Geely Technology Ecology, based on objective technical facts.

There are a lot of dry goods. Let’s first look at the final answer of the evolution of AI+ cars given by Geely.

Geely called it "the birth of supernatural human-computer interaction". The logic behind it is that, unlike PC as the core carrier of digitalization and mobile phone as the ultimate entrance to the Internet, AI needs more energy consumption and more access to real information, so cars naturally have the advantage of becoming a "mobile terminal" in the AI ? ? era. The most direct change brought about by AI’s natural "multimodal" interaction and reasoning ability is to connect various services in series across user travel scenarios.

Imagine that in a go on road trip, vehicles can take over the whole driving control according to the accumulation of your usual daily habits, and intelligently help you book the destination food in advance, intelligently recommend different services to couples, family, friends and elders during the trip, and even link with your mobile phone after the trip to intelligently generate travel notes, which can be shared with one click … ..

The so-called "supernatural human-computer interaction" is not a subversion of starting a new stove, but a one-way instruction of traditional people to equipment. It is also a two-way suggestion and feedback between people and equipment, and finally people can communicate with each other and even understand your feelings better.

With a clear goal, starting with the end, we can find the greatest common denominator of infrastructure.Geely’s infrastructure advantages in AI big model can be understood from two key words: computing power+general model.

Here, a few figures can be used to visually show Geely’s achievements: Geely’s "Smart Car Computing Alliance" is based on Star Smart Computing Center 2.0, and its comprehensive computing power has increased to 23.5 EFLOPS. According to "China Computing Network Market Operation Status Survey and Investment Strategy Forecast Report (2023-2030)",By the end of 2023, the scale of AI in China will reach 200 EFLOPS, and Geely’s AI computing power layout is enough to rival nearly 1/10 of the country.

Sufficient computing power corresponds to Geely’s higher goal of building a universal base model.

What is common in the industry is the vertical intelligent driving model, which is short, flat and quick, and easy to produce results. You can understand the difference between the two models like this:Vertical intelligent driving model is a kind of intelligent driving technical scheme that integrates all kinds of road driving scenes, and emphasizes the familiar ones such as laser radar and visual perception, and its relative sources are also limited.

But it is different from the information input and feedback of people’s real driving. People are natural "multi-modal input". You will form a trend judgment according to the change of traffic flow ahead, the command of pedestrians or traffic police, and even the seemingly unrelated scene changes on the road ahead, and make a subconscious reaction and judge the next road conditions and operations.

The universal base model is born for this multi-modal nature, but the exponential explosion of its data volume means that it needs stronger computational support.

An intuitive data comparison is that the specifications of the intelligent driving model widely used in the automobile industry are about 10 million video clips, and a large number of repeated scenes will be mixed in the middle, while the data volume of the universal base model can easily reach 1 billion, even for similar scenes, it will identify the internal trend changes more carefully. Only in the recognition degree of the general obstacle, compared with the industry model, the general model is the gap between "100,000 categories" and "50 categories", and even can identify new obstacles through reasoning, forming the ability of independent learning and decision-making.

To put it bluntly, the universal base model is essentially observed in a mode closer to the real human thinking, and the result is closer to the real human road judgment and driving mode, and truly realizes the anthropomorphic "fully automatic driving" above L3.

On this basis, in order to better understand the real world, Geely and Eco-Partners have created a model matrix that integrates language model, multimodal model and pan-world model. Among them, the language model represented by DeepSeek is aimed at the smooth interaction between human and computer, and the rapid understanding of the world abstract information into words by intelligent driving.

The multi-modal model is represented by Geely’s AI ecological partner Step Star, which can understand and generate images, music and videos. In the end, the foundation of the future industry includes VLA and a world model that can understand the objective reality. Geely has simultaneously laid out the AI Drive model at this level, laying a good foundation for intelligent driving above L3.

According to the computing power demand of the common large model in the industry, the universal base model needs at least tens of thousands of cards for a single training, so this is a "dimension reduction blow" that a "head player" like Geely can achieve. Looking back at Geely’s "Smart Geely 2025" plan put forward at the Longwan conference in 2021, it was now curious and questioned by many people at that time. Geely’s heavy investment and extensive layout in the digital field now have a new answer.

The competition for "AI+ cars" has just begun.

Why is it called a thousand miles?

In the matter of AI reshaping the car, Geely played its own stubbornness as building a car:Starting from the bottom structure, we should pursue the accumulation of wealth and thin hair in the final landing. Only in this way can we meet the goal of "high value" and achieve the blow of dimension reduction.

At the press conference, as the first landing of the AI strategy, Geely released a self-developed "thousands of miles" intelligent driving system, and took the lead in carrying it on two cars: the 2025 modified version of Geely Yinhe E8 and Geely Yinhe Xingyao 8EM.

As a unified intelligent travel solution formed by Geely through AI technologies such as end-to-end, VLM and world model, Qianli Vast is divided into five different levels, namely H1, H3, H5, H7 and H9, with a minimum standard computing power of over 100TOPS.Highest H9 is the industry’s first L3 intelligent driving solution with mass production landing capability, which will be carried on all Geely models.

The most intuitive benefit brought by the vastness of thousands of miles is that users no longer have to choose between the inconsistent experience of intelligent driving and the complicated packaging words of different manufacturers. At the turning point when industrial technology enters the popularization period from the rising period, it is obviously much more important to let more people use it with low threshold than the dazzling skills and packaging of high-end technology.

Geely named this intelligent driving system "Qianli", and the strength behind it is the industry-leading general model and computing power. This is one aspect of technology, and the vastness of the other side emphasizes that this intelligent driving system is not only rich enough to support intelligent driving in various scenarios, but also stable and reliable. As the "safest intelligent driving system", Qianli Vast can be integrated with Geely’s technical standards in the field of car building.

At the press conference, Geely showed a typical scene: the AEB of 120km/h stopped automatically. As one of the most risky dangerous driving scenarios that most users may encounter, compared with many brands who still use this ability as a gimmick for high-level intelligent driving, Geely can directly declare the vast expanse of thousands of miles as a standard, and even avoid the risks in the same lane, and can also avoid the risk scenarios that appear continuously in two lanes.

Qianli Vast integrates the self-research power of Geely’s ecology, which is essentially based on the brand-new anchoring of the industry layout for many years, the VLM model of vision and integration of language, and the universal model base based on the understanding of the real world, and on this basis, it promotes the first mass production of L3.It indicates that China enterprises, represented by Geely, are setting up a real moat in the field of intelligence, especially in terms of technology and experience standards integrated with the whole vehicle, which means that they are ready to promote the maturity of laws and regulations and promote them globally.

This is the competition for upgrading the dimension after laying the foundation first. Compared with most enterprises in the industry, which are still using smart driving to create profit space and avoid responsibility, Geely has made the vast expanse of thousands of miles into the best and most time-tested value in the century-old automobile industry: standard.

AI defines the first player of a car.

Geely’s years of development actually follows similar thinking:Under the grand strategy, the grey line of grass snake will be continuously laid out, and then it will be applied first when the industry changes its qualitative point, so as to realize the great leap and the establishment of moat.

From the acquisition of Volvo, the layout of smart Geely 2025, the layout of vast architecture, and the release of Ningbo Declaration and Taizhou Declaration, Geely AI technology conference marks the first time that Geely has completed the first transformation to "AI defines cars".

The industrial leap of any technology must be the first move of the explorer and the follow-up with the industrial giants, so as to jointly promote the application for thousands of households. The entry of an industrial head enterprise like Geely marks the seeds of innovative technology brought by DeepSeek or other AI ecological partners, with the soil to land.

Similarly, they all need to go through the process of long-term exploration in core technologies and bear huge sunk costs and risks; What a giant like Geely has to do is to discard the false from the true as soon as possible and complete the popularization and application of engineering. In this process, advanced technology has to find true value for users and popularize more scenarios, which is bound to be a long-term process.

But this may also be the "high-value" experience that users can reach at their fingertips as soon as possible: once AI builds a car, it will not be far from the mature products such as "It just works" once it enters the unknown technical engineering.

Pet life ranking: modern "pet-loving" way can shorten the life of dogs by 6 years.

Original sixiang studio sixiang studio

In recent years, more and more urbanites choose to keep pets as companions. After a busy day’s work, it is undoubtedly a "charging moment" for pet owners to be greeted by pets at home, and the fatigue is instantly forgotten.

However, there are also many people who also love pets, but they dare not take the step of raising pets, not because of the cost and energy consumption brought by breeding, but because they are afraid of the sadness after losing their "family".

After all, compared with the life span of people, the life span of pets is mostly short. So, what kind of pet can bring relatively long-term companionship?

Text | Big Meng Ni | Roxie Diagram | Four Elephants Design Department

01

What kind of pet do you want to have longer company?

They are also "good friends of human beings", and the life span of different pet breeds is very different.

Hamsters with an average life span of only two or three years have turtles that can live for more than 30 years … … and most pets have an average life span of less than 15 years.

For example, the average life span of our most familiar pet dogs is about 10~13 years; The average life span of pet cats is slightly longer, which is only 12~15 years.

But this is only the average value. In fact, even if it is the same species, the life expectancy of different varieties is not consistent. Take pet dogs as an example, the general rule is that the bigger the body, the shorter the life span. The average life span of large dogs is about 9 years, while that of small dogs can reach 12 years.

It can be said that the companionship of more than ten years is the cornerstone for pets to establish close feelings with their owners.

02

Do pets and owners grow up together?

In many families, pets grow up synchronously with children, and the process of children growing up from babbling toddlers is also the process of pets entering old age from childhood. From this perspective, a pet’s life is also an important part of family memories.

Because the absolute length of pets’ life span is not as long as that of human beings, their growth rate will naturally not be completely synchronized with human beings. Taking pet dogs as an example, there has always been a saying that "a dog born for one year is worth seven years to human beings". Is this really the case?

In fact, the age conversion between dogs and humans is not linear, but variable.

Pet dogs grow very fast when they are young, and they can develop into a state of about 20 years old in half a year. But after rapid adulthood, the pace of maturity of dogs will gradually slow down. When the dog lives to be seven or eight years old, the aging rate will further slow down. At that time, when the dog is one year old, it is probably only equal to one or two years of life.

In many families with pets and babies, there will be a warm scene of pets looking after babies. In the eyes of human parents, it may be that children of the same age are playing with them, but in the inner world of dogs, it may be that mature "middle-aged dogs" are fulfilling their responsibilities and helping young people at home to take care of their cubs.

03

The average life expectancy of people is rising, but pets are declining.

Pets, which occupy an important position in the family, have also buried emotional hidden dangers for their owners-once their lives come to an end, they will bring a huge psychological blow.

It is precisely because of the rising status of pets in the family that human capital investment in pet medical care and even pet funeral has reached an unprecedented height. Many people spend a lot of money to treat their pets, and some people spend a lot of money to do things for their pets, just to let the hairy children go smoothly.

In the last decade, pet medical and pet funeral industries have ushered in a spurt of development. In 2023 alone, 1,920 pet funeral-related companies were established in China, while the total number of related companies established in the decade from 2003 to 2012 was only 64.

Although the time and cost that pet owners are willing to invest have soared, unfortunately, unlike the rising trend of human life expectancy, in less than 50 years (1970-2016), the average life expectancy of pet dogs has been shortened by 35%, from 17 to 11 years.

Why on earth is this?

In 2014, The Kennel Club, a British kennel club, investigated the causes of death of 5,700 pet dogs. The data shows that cancer is the biggest killer affecting its life span, accounting for nearly a quarter of the total, even exceeding the death of aging.

Among the dogs who died of cancer, the causes with the highest proportion were bone tumor (3.99%), lymphatic tumor (3.18%) and brain tumor (2.81%). The biggest killer that threatens human health also takes the lives of pets.

Ten years ago, The Kennel Club did the same research. The proportion of dogs that died of natural aging in that year was 17.8%, but now it is only 13.8%, that is to say, the number of pet dogs that died of diseases or accidents increased by 4% in ten years.

What is frightening is that the shortened life span of pets may be related to the popular lifestyle. According to the speeches of relevant insiders, the following three possibilities can be summarized:

First of all, genetic inheritance, artificial breeding of purebred dogs with similar blood vessels, easy to lose genetic diversity, greatly improving the probability of congenital genetic diseases; Secondly, pet dry food has changed the original diet structure, which is difficult to meet the demand of nutritional diversity, and long-term single nutrition source will affect its resistance; In addition, modern pets are often trapped in high-rise houses, and daily dog walking activities can not fully meet their activity needs, especially for large dogs.

The process of raising pets is not only that pets accompany people through a journey, but also that humans spend their lives with pets. Under the restriction of natural conditions, no matter what efforts are made, this is also a banquet that must end, but the time of sincere treatment will not live up to it. In addition to the investment of time, money and love, it is necessary to adopt scientific parenting methods to make this period of time longer and longer.

More countries "go to dollarization"! The RMB surpassed the US dollar for the first time in this transaction.

  BEIJING, April 29 (Zhongxin Finance Gong Hongyu) China’s cross-border transactions "de-dollarization" set a new record!

  According to the data recently released by the State Administration of Foreign Exchange of China, the proportion of RMB in foreign-related receipts and payments of China banks rose from nearly zero in 2010 to a record 48% at the end of March this year, a record high in 13 years. During the same period, the share of the US dollar dropped from 83% to 47%.

  "The use of RMB in cross-border transactions in China surpassed that of the US dollar for the first time, which is another milestone in the process of reducing China’s dependence on the US dollar." Bloomberg reported this.

  The international "circle of friends" of RMB is growing.

  Since 2010, the US dollar has consistently ranked first in the currency proportion of cross-border receipts and payments in China. However, with the wave of "dollarization" in many countries around the world and China actively promoting the settlement of bilateral trade in RMB, reducing the use of US dollars is becoming a new phenomenon in cross-border transactions in China.

  Since March this year, many countries have successively turned to RMB settlement. On April 26th, Argentine Economy Minister Felipe Massa announced that Argentina would stop using US dollars to pay for goods imported from China and use RMB instead. In early April, Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar said that Malaysia’s central bank had started discussions with China so that the trade between the two countries could be settled in ringgit and RMB.

  Earlier, on March 29th, the Brazilian government indicated that Brazil and China had reached an agreement to trade in local currency instead of using the US dollar as an intermediate currency. On March 28th, CNOOC China and Total Energy, a French company, completed the first domestic purchase transaction of imported liquefied natural gas (LNG) settled in RMB through the platform of Shanghai Oil and Gas Trading Center.

  In fact, up to now, more than 30 countries, including Indonesia, Iran, Russia and Germany, have gradually turned to RMB for trade settlement or investment. The circle of international friends of RMB is growing, and the recognition of RMB in the world, especially in emerging economies, has greatly increased.

  Why is the RMB "hot"?

  "The increase in the use of the renminbi is a natural result of China’s opening of its capital account, and bonds flowing into the mainland of China and out of Hong Kong are increasing." Zhao Zhixuan, chief Asia foreign exchange and interest rate strategist of Bloomberg Industry Research, wrote in a briefing.

  Liang Zhaoji, an economist at DBS Bank, told Bloomberg that the internationalization of RMB is accelerating as other countries seek an alternative payment currency to spread risks and the credibility of the Federal Reserve is not as good as before.

  At present, many countries around the world have set off a wave of "dollarization". Chen Wenling, chief economist of China Center for International Economic Exchanges, told the media that the "de-dollarization" is behind the distrust of the United States and the dollar. This is not only because of their doubts about American credit and dissatisfaction with the hegemony of the US dollar, but also because of their helplessness and risk aversion. Now the dollar has become the main source of instability and uncertainty in the world economy.

  "In the Ukrainian crisis, the United States joined forces with many countries to sanction Russia, which affected Russia’s export trade. Countries around the world saw the hegemonic behavior of the US dollar. ‘ De-dollarization ’ Currency diversification is the general trend. " Yang Delong, chief economist and fund manager of Qianhai Open Source Fund, previously told Zhongxin Finance.

  What is the significance of exceeding the US dollar in cross-border transactions?

  "The use of RMB in foreign-related collection and payment by banks exceeds that of US dollars, indicating that cross-border transactions in China have gradually become dominated by local currency." Wang Youxin, a senior researcher at China Bank Research Institute, mentioned.

  Wang Chunying, deputy director and spokesperson of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange, said at the press conference on April 21 that the increasing proportion of RMB in cross-border use will help reduce the risk of currency mismatch in cross-border transactions.

  "In the past, pricing and settlement in China’s foreign trade mainly used third-party currencies, which not only increased the foreign currency risk exposure and exchange rate risk of enterprises, but also increased the difficulty of the management and operation of national foreign exchange reserves and increased the risk of cross-border capital flow fluctuations." Wang Youxin said.

  In Wang Youxin’s view, after the gradual promotion of local currency settlement, the exchange risk of enterprises will be significantly reduced, and the risk of currency mismatch between assets and liabilities in production and operation will be significantly reduced, so enterprises can invest more resources and energy in their main business. The volatility of cross-border foreign currency flows will be reduced, the demand for RMB liquidity and asset allocation will increase, the stability of exchange rate will be improved, and RMB assets will be favored by more international investors.

  In addition, Wang Youxin mentioned that the increased use of RMB in bilateral trade will play a leading role for other economies and market participants, and RMB cross-border settlement will be promoted in more scenarios and more countries in the future.

  In April, the State Council, China issued the Opinions on Promoting Stable Scale and Excellent Structure of Foreign Trade, which mentioned that financial institutions should be encouraged to innovate and improve foreign exchange derivatives and cross-border RMB business, and further expand the scale of RMB settlement of cross-border trade.

  Yang Delong believes that the further internationalization of RMB will change the state of "one currency dominating" the US dollar to a certain extent, weaken the power of the United States to manipulate the global money market, and benefit the development of non-American parents. (End)

How to deal with the flu season? The answers to the four hot questions are here!

CCTV News:November 1st is World Influenza Day. As the weather turns cold, influenza gradually enters a seasonal active period, and influenza vaccination everywhere also enters a peak period. What is the epidemic trend of influenza in China this winter and next spring? How can we do a good job of prevention and scientific response?

In a number of community health service centers in Taiyuan, Shanxi, Xiamen, Fujian and other places, citizens are being vaccinated against influenza in an orderly manner, and many of them have come with their children. According to the medical staff in Xiamen, the local influenza vaccine stocks are relatively sufficient at present, and citizens can make an appointment in advance.

According to experts, according to the monitoring situation of sentinel hospitals nationwide, at present, influenza activities in China are on the rise.

According to experts, everyone is susceptible to the flu. However, the severity of flu symptoms varies among different people.

Jiang Hongni, member of Pulmonary Angiology Group of Chinese Medical Association:Children under 5 years old, especially children under 2 years old, older people over 65 years old, some people with basic diseases, and some pregnant women are also susceptible to influenza.

According to experts, the symptoms of influenza are relatively serious, mainly manifested as high fever and systemic symptoms, including headache, muscle and joint pain all over the body; The common cold and fever last for a relatively short time, with mild systemic symptoms and rapid recovery. If you have the flu, you should seek medical treatment as soon as possible in case of critical symptoms, so as to avoid blind or inappropriate use of antibacterial drugs.

Experts remind that to prevent influenza, everyone should wear masks and get flu vaccine while improving their immunity. Due to the different strains of influenza virus every year, the influenza vaccine will be adjusted accordingly, and the influenza antibody is not effective for life, so it is recommended that the public be vaccinated again every year.

Jiang Hongni, member of Pulmonary Angiology Group of Chinese Medical Association:Only a few people are not suitable for vaccination, such as very obvious allergic symptoms, especially those who have been vaccinated before, and there are diseases with this immune system. In addition, if the patient has a fever recently or has been vaccinated with other vaccines in the last month, vaccination can be suspended.

Five groups of keywords to understand the overall strategy of the party to solve the Taiwan Province problem in the new era

  Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, January 19th Title: Five groups of keywords to understand the overall strategy of the party to solve the Taiwan Province issue in the new era

  Xinhua News Agency reporters Zhao Danping, Zhao Bo, Alex Chen and Xu Xueyi.

  The sea and sky are vast, and the tides rise and fall. Shallow Bay Strait, after the changes of the cross-strait situation, has entrusted countless children with homesickness. What kind of cross-strait relations do we expect when we step into the threshold of 2022? The future starts from the present. What kind of ideal home should we leave for future generations?

  The development of cross-strait relations shows us that the motherland must and must be unified, which is an inevitable requirement for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation in the new era. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader has stood at the strategic height of the overall development of the cause of the Party and the country and the realization of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, keenly observed the situation at home and abroad and the changes in the situation in the Taiwan Strait, profoundly summed up the major policies and practices of the central authorities on Taiwan, put forward a series of important ideas and major policy propositions on Taiwan’s work, and formed the party’s overall strategy for solving the Taiwan Province issue in the new era.

  What is the profound meaning of the Party’s general plan to solve the Taiwan Province problem in the new era? What can Taiwan Province compatriots gain from this? Will the vital interests be damaged? The following five groups of keywords take you to think rationally.

  National unity and national rejuvenation

  The emergence and evolution of the Taiwan Province issue is closely related to the fate of the Chinese nation since modern times. China was poor and weak in modern times, and Taiwan Province was occupied by foreigners for half a century. The continuation of the civil war led to cross-strait confrontation across the sea, and the separation of brothers and sisters left a painful heart for compatriots on both sides of the strait.

  Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader has repeatedly made important expositions on realizing the complete reunification of the motherland. The report of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China clearly stated "Persistence ‘ One country, two systems ’ And promote the reunification of the motherland "into the basic strategy of upholding and developing Socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era.

  "National rejuvenation and national reunification are the general trend, the great righteousness and the will of the people." "The vast number of Taiwan Province compatriots are all members of the Chinese nation. We should be upright Chinese, seriously think about Taiwan Province’s position and role in national rejuvenation, and take promoting the complete reunification of the country and seeking common national rejuvenation as a glorious cause." On January 2, 2019, on the 40th anniversary of the publication of the Letter to Taiwan Province Compatriots, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader delivered an important speech, comprehensively expounding the major policy propositions of promoting the peaceful reunification of the motherland in the great journey of national rejuvenation based on the new era.

  "Promoting the complete reunification of the country and realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation is undoubtedly the core of the party’s overall strategy for solving the Taiwan Province issue in the new era." Wang Yingjin, director and professor of the Research Center for Cross-Strait Relations of Renmin University of China, said that this is a complete ideological system, with the people as the center, peaceful talks as the means, ending political opposition to achieve reunification, the rule of law as the guarantee, "one country, two systems" as the unified framework, and national rejuvenation as the ultimate goal, to plan the process of national reunification and improve relevant systems and mechanisms.

  “台湾问题因民族弱乱而产生,必将随着民族复兴而解决。”最高领袖总书记的郑重宣示,让定居上海的91岁台胞庄传鸿深受感动。出生于台湾台南的庄传鸿,因父亲不堪忍受日本殖民统治,1938年一家四口移居上海。因两岸长达数十载的隔绝,直到上世纪90年代初,他才得以重访暌违已久的故乡。

  “我已经90多岁了,可还想为祖国早日统一多出点力。”庄传鸿说,台南家乡还有堂姐堂兄等很多亲人,大家都盼着两岸能早日实现真正意义上的“团圆”,共同实现中华民族伟大复兴。

  结束政治对立、实现持久和平

  由于内战延续和外部势力干涉,自1949年以来,海峡两岸陷入长期政治对立。数十年“冰封”与隔绝,在两岸同胞心中留下难以愈合的伤痛,“解放台湾”和“光复大陆”曾分别是两岸流行的政治口号。

  Different systems are not obstacles to reunification, let alone excuses for division. "The long-standing political differences between the two sides of the strait are the general root that affects the stability and far-reaching cross-strait relations, and they can never be passed down from generation to generation." Three years ago, the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader issued a sincere appeal, "We are willing to conduct dialogue and communication with all parties, groups and people in Taiwan Province on cross-strait political issues and related issues in promoting the peaceful reunification of the motherland, extensively exchange views, seek social consensus and promote political negotiations."

  According to Liu Guoshen, director of the Collaborative Innovation Center for Peaceful Development of Cross-Strait Relations, "peaceful reunification and one country, two systems" is the best way to achieve national reunification, which not only takes into account the practical interests of Taiwan Province people, but also takes into account the political requirements of the Taiwan Province authorities, and embodies the long-term interests of the Chinese nation and the overall interests of the country. "This is the wisdom of Chinese on both sides of the strait and the blessing of the people on both sides of the strait."

  On the premise of ensuring national sovereignty, security and development interests, after peaceful reunification, Taiwan Province compatriots’ social system and lifestyle will be fully respected, Taiwan Province compatriots’ private property, religious beliefs and legitimate rights and interests will be fully guaranteed, people’s livelihood will be fully improved, and Taiwan Province’s fiscal revenue can be used to improve people’s livelihood.

  "I have come into contact with many young people in Taiwan Province on both sides of the strait. It is obvious that some people shout against ‘ One country, two systems ’ , you ask him ‘ One country, two systems ’ What is the content, but I can’t basically answer it. " Zhang Liqi, a young Taiwanese teacher at Huaqiao University, said that we should help Taiwan Province compatriots get rid of the monopoly of green media on the island and truly understand the connotation of "one country, two systems".

  To this end, Zhang Liqi and his friends set up the WeChat WeChat official account, which shares fresh mainland information and comments on hot cross-strait news. "I hope that more Taiwan Province compatriots can see the mainland’s freedom, openness and institutional advantages and help them understand ‘ One country, two systems ’ Understanding democratic consultation is to let the people of Taiwan Province give their opinions. "

  Hope for the people of Taiwan Province and oppose the "Taiwan independence" split.

  "We welcome more Taiwan Province compatriots to participate in the promotion of the peaceful development of cross-strait relations. Let’s work together, come up with ideas and find ways, gather more wisdom and strength, consolidate and expand the development achievements of cross-strait relations, and make the peaceful development of cross-strait relations an irresistible historical trend, so that the vast number of Taiwan Province compatriots, especially grassroots people, can enjoy more benefits brought by the peaceful development of cross-strait relations." When meeting Lien Chan, honorary chairman of China Kuomintang, and his party in 2014, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader sent such a deep message.

  It is the Communist Party of China (CPC)’s consistent policy to place hope on the people of Taiwan Province. In recent years, the mainland has adhered to the people-centered development thought and the concept of "one family on both sides of the strait", and has issued a series of policies and measures that are conducive to winning the hearts of the people, and achieved remarkable results, vividly interpreting the practical strength of the party’s overall strategy for solving the Taiwan Province issue in the new era.

  Wang Kunyi, chairman of the Taiwan Province Institute of Strategic Studies and a professor at Tamkang University, believes that the mainland has always adhered to the principled position of the "1992 Consensus" and has always insisted on promoting cross-strait non-governmental exchanges and cooperation, seeking the well-being of Taiwan Province compatriots and placing hopes on the people of Taiwan Province. This is an unchanging goodwill and sincerity. "This is beyond the rotation of political parties on the island."

  Since the Democratic Progressive Party authorities came to power in 2016, they have linked with external forces, relied on foreign self-respect, frantically sought "independence" and provoked troubles, causing tension and turmoil in cross-strait relations and posing a great threat to peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait.

  “‘ Taiwan independence ’ Splitting is the biggest obstacle to the reunification of the motherland and a serious hidden danger of national rejuvenation. " "Anyone who forgets his ancestors, betrays the motherland and splits the country will never come to a good end and will be spurned by the people and judged by history!" "If ‘ Taiwan independence ’ The separatist forces provoke persecution and even break through the red line, and we will have to take drastic measures. " … …

  In the face of the separatist activities of "Taiwan independence" and the sinister intention of the United States and other external forces to "control China with Taiwan", the Supreme Leader General Secretary has made solemn declarations many times.

  "Objection ‘ Taiwan independence ’ It is the meaning of the party’s overall strategy for solving the Taiwan Province issue in the new era. " Zhu Songling, a professor at Taiwan Province Research Institute of Beijing Union University, said that the inevitable reunification of the motherland and the fate of the "Taiwan independence" were determined by the development trend of cross-strait relations and the historical process of national rejuvenation, which was an irreversible historical trend.

  Integrated development and common market

  "Cross-strait economic and trade relations have grown from scratch, and now they are booming, and there are various policies to benefit Taiwan. This is the best era for Taiwanese businessmen to develop in the mainland." Wu Jiaying, president of Xiamen Taiwanese Business Association, who has been rooted in the mainland for nearly 30 years, said, "Digital economy, new infrastructure construction and green development are all important directions for the future economic development of the mainland. We must seize business opportunities."

  Scenes of hopeful scenes and stories of struggle hand in hand, under the guidance of the Party’s overall strategy of solving the Taiwan Province issue in the new era, the mainland unswervingly took the lead in sharing development opportunities with Taiwan Province compatriots, providing equal treatment for Taiwan compatriots and enterprises, continuously expanding cross-strait economic and trade cooperation, and playing a magnificent movement of cross-strait integration and development.

  Brothers are United, and their profits are broken. For deepening cross-strait integration and development, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader has always been mindful of this.

  From proposing to deepen the cross-strait integration and development, consolidating the foundation of peaceful reunification, to asking Fujian to explore a new way of cross-strait integration and development, and strive to build Fujian into the first home for Taiwan compatriots and enterprises to land, and then emphasizing the need to promote integration through communication, benefit and emotion when visiting Fujian in 2021, and bravely exploring a new way of cross-strait integration and development … …

  Optimistic about the new opportunities in the 14th Five-Year Plan, Taiwanese businessmen in Xiamen continue to increase capital and expand production. This is the foundation stone laying ceremony of the expansion project of Jianlin home kitchen and bathroom product line filmed in Jimei, Xiamen on January 12, 2021. Xinhua News Agency reporter Fu Minshe

  Time and time again, I have a strong heart and a systematic exposition. The major policy proposition of the Supreme Leader General Secretary on deepening cross-strait integration and development has been continuously improved in practice. "Deepen cross-strait integration and development", "Strengthen cross-strait industrial cooperation, build a cross-strait common market, and expand the Chinese national economy" and "Support Taiwanese businessmen and enterprises to participate ‘ Belt and Road ’ The strategy of construction and coordinated national and regional development has been written into the 14 th Five-Year Plan and has become an important program and action guide for promoting the peaceful development of cross-strait relations and deepening cross-strait cooperation in the new stage of development.

  "From Taiwan compatriots enjoying the same treatment as medical insurance and buying houses, to allowing Taiwan enterprises to participate in new infrastructure and support Taiwan enterprises to go public, the policies and measures have become more specific and delicate, which makes us feel more warm at home." Wu Jiaying said that the continuous implementation of measures to benefit Taiwan and benefit the people has created a better environment for Taiwan compatriots to land for study, employment, entrepreneurship and life.

  Cultural inheritance and spiritual harmony

  "The soul of the country, the text is transformed, and the text is cast." Chinese traditional culture is the common spiritual root and destination of compatriots on both sides of the strait. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader has repeatedly stressed that the family members of compatriots on both sides of the strait are rooted in the common blood and spirit of compatriots and in our common history and culture.

  "Promote compatriots on both sides of the strait to jointly promote Chinese culture and promote spiritual harmony." "The intersection of people is your intimate." "Between relatives, there is no knot that cannot be untied. For a long time, it will surely achieve the spiritual harmony of compatriots on both sides of the strait. " … …

  The words of the Supreme Leader’s General Secretary, such as spring breeze and rain, contain profound thoughts on the reunification of the motherland.

  After the resumption of cross-strait exchanges, Jiang Mingxian, the first Taiwan Province painter who "landed" and held a solo exhibition, was nearly eighty years old. There were countless masterpieces in his life, but he only printed the work "New Fuchun Shan Jutu" with mainland painters on his business card.

  "It is of great significance for painters on both sides of the strait to cooperate in a painting, which fully embodies the spirit of modesty and tolerance of Chinese culture and is the best footnote for the same language and species on both sides of the strait." Jiang Mingxian said that both sides of the strait are Chinese. Taiwan Province people have been baptized by Chinese culture since childhood, from living habits, treating people with things to traditional customs such as ancestor worship at Qingming Festival, all of which reflect cultural inheritance. "Taiwan Province people should be proud of having Chinese culture."

  Hold the cross-strait Chinese character culture and art festival, carry out the "Taiwan Province Youth Chinese Traditional Culture Heritage Plan" and realize cross-strait cultural relics protection cooperation … … The sea is separated from the history of the two sides of the strait, and the blood of brothers and sisters is separated. The common blood of Chinese culture cannot be broken by any external force.

  Cultural identity is the foundation of spiritual harmony, and it also paints a bright "bright color" of the Party’s overall strategy to solve the Taiwan Province issue in the new era. Whether it is cultural exchange or social integration, it is basically to promote the spiritual harmony of compatriots on both sides of the strait and enhance the well-being and interests of compatriots on both sides of the strait. As General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out, everything we have done to promote cross-strait relations is to realize the yearning of compatriots on both sides of the strait for a better life.

  Join forces to know Yu Li, and go to Cang Ying together. Looking ahead, we are more qualified, emboldened and capable of accomplishing the great cause of the reunification of the motherland. Under the guidance of the Party’s general plan to solve the Taiwan Province issue in the new era, compatriots on both sides of the strait will join hands, work together, unite and move forward, and will certainly create a great rejuvenation and bright future for the Chinese nation!

Daughter coming back: a microcosm of narrative defects of domestic suspense online drama

As a new season drama series of "Fog Theater", the opening of "Daughter Coming Back" has aroused the attention and heated discussion of the audience, and it has been highly praised because of its "brain burning" of the plot and the online performance of the actors, and even praised "the return of Fog Theater". However, in the middle of the series, the looseness of the follow-up plot and the rationality of the narrative were questioned by the audience, which led to the continuous decline of word of mouth, and the Douban score dropped to the passing line at the end. It can be said that "Daughter Coming Back" can’t escape the fate that the original suspense online drama of "Misty Theater" has a high reputation and the audience’s expectation has failed, and its narrative defect has also become a microcosm of the deep-seated problems of domestic suspense online drama.


If we count from the crime of undocumented in 2017, the domestic suspense online drama represented by "Fog Theater" has become a very subdivided type of online drama. Thanks to the development of genre models of suspense film and television works in Europe, America and Japan, as well as the literary foundation of Zi Jinchen’s original novels, and the participation of a group of directors with European and American film and television professional backgrounds, the domestic suspense online drama has set off a creative upsurge: after the crime without a license and chasing after the murder in the daytime aroused the audience’s expectation, the popularity and high reputation of Hidden Corner and Silent Truth in 2020 further established the status of "fog theater" as an industry drama, which gave birth to suspense. However, since then, the original script of Fog Theater has not been explored smoothly due to the defects of suspense narration, although the series such as Goodbye that Day, Fog in the Eight Diagrams Pavilion, Who is the murderer, Deadly Wish and Gold Rush have gathered a cast and production team that can not be underestimated, presenting an overall industry dilemma of the original domestic suspense online drama.


Generally speaking, domestic suspense online dramas, including "Misty Theater", follow a narrative mode of "social school" reasoning that combines suspense with reality. This choice is not only related to the policy advocacy of realistic themes of local film and television dramas, but also the communication strategy of online drama producers trying to break the genre boundaries and break the circle of audiences with realistic topics. At a deeper level, it is also the consistent cultural practice of local film and television dramas to highlight the theme of family humanity and social issues. Therefore, under the label of "crime" and "suspense", most of the dramas of "Fog Theater" highlight the human evil brought by family of origin and social power. For example, The Hidden Corner, The Fog in the Octagon Pavilion, Very Witness and Ten-Day Game all involve family relations issues that Chinese is particularly concerned about. Different from the hard reasoning that pays attention to the detective’s puzzle solving process, the social reasoning suspense drama pays more attention to the deep integration of social factors and human problems, and its puzzle solving process lies in showing the deep-seated human evil step by step, and pays more attention to the deep-seated social problems of all people doing evil in the context of a specific era. For example, the society and power system revealed in Silent Truth. This means that there is a close combination between this social problem consciousness and narrative suspense puzzles: in the narrative process of "throwing puzzles-solving puzzles-uncovering puzzles",Construct the rationality and logic of solid details, plots and characters’ behaviors, so that genre narration and social problems can be deeply integrated. By this measure, The Daughter Who Came Back has representatively exposed the narrative defects faced by local suspense online dramas.


Daughter Back is still a social reasoning network drama with the theme of family suspense. The drama is set in Tanling County, which was developed in the southwest of China in 1997 due to the third-line construction. It tells the story of Chen Youxi, a young girl adopted by Jieshan Welfare Institute. Xiaoxiu, a good friend who works as a home nanny in Li Chengdong, director of the county fertilizer factory office, mysteriously disappeared after discovering the Li family’s secret. In order to find the mystery of Xiaoxiu’s disappearance, she fled the welfare home and came to Tanling, pretending that Li Wenwen, the daughter of the Li family who had been missing for many years, sneaked into the Li family to find clues. From the perspective of Chen Youxi as an intruder, with the help of Xiao Xiu’s prospective boyfriend Cheng Wei, the drama gradually discovers the secrets and sins of the Li family through multiple struggles with his mother Liao Suifang, his father Li Chengdong and Liao Suifang’s lover Wang Zhongjiang. As a family suspense drama, The Daughter Who Came Back focuses on the complex game between the family members involved in the murder case, and how the characters form the "hunter" and "prey" and the relationship between the strong and the weak in various human motives and actions: Chen Youxi, as an intruder, seems to have the initiative, but in fact his identity and actions are in Liao Suifang’s hands; However, Li Chengdong, a weak husband in the marriage relationship, was very humble and obedient to keep Liao Suifang.In fact, it is precisely the perpetrators with the deepest intentions; And mentally retarded Li Wenzhuo seems to be kind and powerless. Is he a real murderer … … The series brings questions about who killed Xiaoxiu, the mystery of Li Wenwen’s death and whether Li Wenzhuo is really stupid or fake. The calmness and lust behind Liao Suifang, played by Mei Ting, and the complex character of Li Chengdong, played by Yanhui Wang, which is honest and humble on the surface, make the reverse relationship between these characters and the hidden level of human nature behind the murder case better presented.


However, similar to other social mystery dramas in Misty Theater, Daughter Coming Back has three obvious narrative defects, which make the narrative tension constructed by the contrast between the actor’s superb performance and the characters still unable to save its reputation:


First of all, as a suspense drama of social reasoning, its realistic problem consciousness does not go deep into the internal texture of narration, and stays at the superficial atmosphere of the times and the superficial psychological consciousness level, which fails to become a part of the deep-seated characters’ behavioral motives, thus showing a typical "sense of decoration of the times" drawback.Although director Lv Xing himself emphasized the typology and problem consciousness of creation, and published a document stressing that his narrative should focus on showing the relationship between the background of fund-raising tide, third-line construction and laid-off tide, detention and repatriation system, Qigong fever and other backgrounds existing in China society in the late 1990s and the mentality and fate of the characters at that time, from the perspective of drama narrative, these did not really form the deep-seated logic of his narrative, nor did they become a part of clues. The most important background in the play can be said to be the decline of the chemical fertilizer plant and the laid-off workers, which constitutes the background of Li Chengdong’s psychological loss and his fragile "pride" (used to show off in front of Liao Suifang as a red man of the factory director), but the real problem between him and Liao Suifang lies in his desire and Liao Suifang’s lack of love for him. Similarly, Wang Zhongjiang, who is his rival in love, is involved in the social context of wealth, and its complex relationship (how to get out of the chemical fertilizer factory, what it has experienced, why people are attached to raising funds, and how to have an accident) how to form an image of the relationship between the three people, which is vague in the play, not given an explanation and presentation, and not even entered the narrative context. Wang Zhongjiang’s plot line and the weakening consciousness of social problems behind it are difficult to support the narrative significance that the director’s intention and narrative background may bring, and eventually become a simple background decoration.


Secondly, as a typed narrative, both social reasoning and case reasoning need to follow the principle of "Puzzle Throwing — — The emergence of evidence — — The revelation of the mystery runs through the basic logic, which makes the progress of the plot and the audience’s participation form an intellectual wrestling with each other. However, there is an obvious problem of "puzzle loss" in Daughter Back, which leads to the separation between narrative progress and audience’s participation.In the first half of the plot, The Daughter Who Comes Back throws at least four puzzles: (1) The mystery of the identity of the monkey masked man; (2) Xiaoxiu leaves or the mystery of death (whether to leave or not? What is Xiaoxiu’s real personality? Who killed Xiao Xiu? How did Xiao Xiu die? What about Xiao Xiu’s body? (3) The mystery of whether Li Wenzhuo really burned his brain and whether he killed people; (4) The mystery of Li Wenwen’s disappearance and death, etc. These problems all lead to a direction of "all people are evil", and also make the criticism of the universal evil of human nature behind an era context a possible construction of the theme that the audience expects. However, after the series throws out questions, the plot is constantly turning over, and the focus of the questions is constantly changing. For the original puzzles, the answers are revealed in an effortless and narrative way: for example, the monkey mask man is just a rogue, and coincidentally reveals the mystery that Li Wenwen died in a washing machine. And why is Li Wenzhuo there every time the Monkey Mask Man appears? For another example, what kind of person is Xiaoxiu, and is there a relationship between her death and her real personality? … … None of these questions give clear answers in the play. Although the series gives many fragmentary clues, Wang Zhongjiang’s positive personality and light death lead to a lot of redundant details and plots being invalid. In the end, taking Li Chengdong as the subject of doing evil and accepting the crime runs counter to the audience’s guess that all the people are doing evil, which greatly weakens the intelligence of the narrative and the depth of the theme.


Thirdly, from the level of suspense narrative, narrative rationality is the most critical factor for the success of suspense drama, and the rationality of details, plots and characters constitutes three key elements of suspense narrative rationality, but The Daughter Who Came Back has obvious rationality defects in these three aspects.For example, the fact that Liao Suifang went to grandma Cheng Wei’s house to look for Chen Youxi’s things and glanced at the photos of Cheng Wei’s parents on the wall was not necessarily related to the narrative; As a patient in a mental hospital, it is also questionable how MengMeng got the key to a mental hospital and got in and out freely. In a suspense drama supported by solid realistic details, it is also abrupt to take the "flying butterfly" as the confirmation details of the relationship between Li Wenzhuo and Li Wenwen. On the rationality of the plot, what is criticized is why Wang Zhongjiang’s family can let anyone in and out freely, so that Cheng Wei can sneak in twice to steal blood tests and steal videos; And why was Liao Suifang so calm when she saw the obviously false report on the DNA report? Furthermore, from the character, Liao Suifang, who is so smart and careful, drank Li Chengdong’s poisonous soup defenseless before going to the Public Security Bureau in the last episode? And Chen Youxi can see that Li Chengdong lied and admitted to killing Xiaoxiu, but he was so out of control after Li Wenzhuo said he choked Xiaoxiu? And so on, all confuse the audience. This separation of details, plots and characters is a serious damage to narrative rationality.


The above-mentioned problems of "The Daughter Coming Back" are the common problems existing in the original suspense online drama of "Misty Theater". Without the adaptation of Zi Jinchen’s original novel, the creation of the original suspense narrative script of social school reasoning, the deep-seated narrative integration of social problem consciousness, the construction of typed puzzle narrative and the solid construction of logical rationality are all key issues to test the creation of local suspense online drama. How to get rid of the "sense of decoration of the times" and make people get a deep social representation of sexual sin, how to avoid the "puzzle loss" and how to form the narrative tension of audience participation in suspense narrative, and how to get solid details support through the multi-level rationality of logic, fundamentally determine how far the local original suspense online drama can go.

On the Development History of China Restaurants

During this time, I read a book, which was written by Katie Rosen, a professor at the University of Pennsylvania in the United States. In his book, he wrote: "The earliest restaurant in the world appeared in Kaifeng, the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty around 1100 AD …" I really can’t agree with this conclusion.

When did the China restaurant appear? Although there is no detailed record in the history books. However, according to Han Feizi, as early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there were many wineries in the urban and rural areas of the Song Dynasty, such as the Zhuang family, which were "very beautiful for wine" and "very hospitable to guests", and "hung high" outside the wineries. The "sign" here is equivalent to the "screen" or "curtain" for later wineries to attract customers. At the same time, Records of the Historian, which was written more than 2,000 years ago, recorded that Liu Bang, the Emperor Gaozu, was lustful and joyful when he was young. He often went to Wang Wei and Wu Fu to drink on credit and fell asleep when he was drunk. Wang Wei and Wu Fu also found that whenever Liu Bang drinks in the shop, the number of people who come to buy wine will increase exponentially.

Xin Yannian, a famous poet in the Eastern Han Dynasty, once wrote a poem in "Yu Lin Lang": "In the fifteenth year of Hu Ji’s reign, spring will be the only day. Long tie, wide sleeves, acacia …………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………. As far as I’m concerned, I’m asking for rare dishes, and I’m eating carp in a golden plate. " These poems vividly show that as early as the Qin and Han Dynasties, China not only had a liquor store specializing in selling wine, but also used exquisite wine utensils, and even the shredded carp in the golden plate was cut very beautifully.

The reason why Katie Rosen set the appearance time of China restaurant in the Northern Song Dynasty may be influenced by the separate dining system in China. The dining system in China has a long history, and it was still popular in the Han Dynasty at least 2,000 years ago. When eating separately, everyone sits on the floor, with a low small dining table with utensils and wine on it. If someone comes to propose a toast, the diner will leave the small table and prostrate himself on the ground in order to show his humility and respect for the toaster, so it is called "avoiding seats".

During the period of Emperor Wudi of the Han Dynasty, Tian Fen, the uncle of Emperor Liu Che, was married, and the civil and military officials in the DPRK went to congratulate her. During the dinner, in order to thank the guests, Tian Fen got up and made a toast. The guests who were sitting left their seats and fell on the ground, expressing their gratitude. In order to ease the contradiction with Tian Fen, Dou Ying, the prime minister of the dynasty, also took the opportunity to stand up and propose a toast to the guests. Among the guests present, except for some old friends of Dou Ying who got up and left their seats, the rest half of them sat there as usual, only slightly indebted to the upper body. Therefore, Dou Ying’s intimate friend irrigation husband made a big banquet in order to save face for Dou Ying. Eventually, Tian Dou became hostile, and Guan Fu and Dou Ying were beheaded successively.

During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, frequent wars made the traditional customs, life order and closely related etiquette system established in the Central Plains since the Yin and Zhou Dynasties strongly impacted. Especially with the influx of high tables and chairs in the western regions, the dining system of sitting on the floor in the Central Plains has also changed.

The time from China’s meal-sharing system to dinner-sharing system is also vague. However, at least we have seen the embryonic form of dinner-sharing system in the famous masterpiece Han Xizai’s Night Banquet by Gu Hongzhong, a famous painter in the Southern Tang Dynasty. In this famous painting, there are not only high tables and big chairs, but also many people eating at the same table. Although the food placed in front of each of them is exactly the same, it is still very different from the dining system in Qin and Han Dynasties.

In the Northern Song Dynasty, the dining system has become the mainstream of society, which we can see from Zhang Zeduan’s The Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival. Let me tell you another story here: During the Northern Song Dynasty, Wang Anshi’s colleagues invited him to dinner and found that Wang Anshi only ate the nearest dish of taro. Wang Anshi’s colleagues thought that Wang Anshi liked taro and sent many taro to the palace afterwards. Mrs. Wang was surprised and said, "My" xianggong "doesn’t like taro. Isn’t there any other food before my" xianggong "?

From this allusion, we can also know that the separation and gathering in the Northern Song Dynasty was very popular. The prevalence of separation and gathering, as Katie Rosen wrote in "Xiasa Pavilion", "benefits from Kaifeng’s huge population, relatively prosperous economy and rich food categories and cooking methods". As far as Tokyo, the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty, is concerned, the famous restaurants are Fan Lou, Panlou, Huixian Restaurant, etc. If the plot of Water Margin is to be believed, it is in Jiangzhou Xunyang Building that Sung River burps, rides in a drunken mood, grinds to a thick ink and dips in his pen, and inscribes the "anti-poem" on the white powder wall that makes him have no turning back.

Notice of the General Office of the State Council on Forwarding the Opinions of the State Council Economic Restructuring Office and Other Departments on Rectifying and Standardizing the Drug Market

No.22 [2001] of Guangdong Government Office

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Forwarding the State Council General Office to the State Council Economic Restructuring Office and other departments.

Notice on rectifying and standardizing the opinions of the pharmaceutical market

  

People’s governments of cities, counties and autonomous counties, and relevant units directly under the provincial capital:

  Now, with the consent of the provincial people’s government, we will forward the Notice of the General Office of the State Council on Forwarding the Opinions of the State Council Economic Restructuring Office and other departments on rectifying and standardizing the drug market (No.17 [2001] of the State Council, hereinafter referred to as the Notice) to you, and now we put forward the following opinions, please implement them together.

  First, rectifying and standardizing the drug market is an important measure to standardize the drug circulation order and promote the healthy development of the pharmaceutical industry. People’s governments at all levels and relevant departments should strictly follow the spirit of the the State Council Notice and the arrangements of the provincial party committee and government for rectifying the market economic order, intensify the rectification of the pharmaceutical market, and severely crack down on illegal and criminal activities of manufacturing and selling counterfeit and inferior drugs. Governments at all levels should be serious and responsible, resolutely oppose all forms of local protectionism, take practical and effective measures, strengthen supervision of the drug market in their respective jurisdictions, and investigate and deal with all kinds of illegal and illegal drug trading.

  Two, all levels of health, price, economy and trade, drug supervision, Chinese medicine and other departments should improve the centralized bidding and purchasing system of drugs, and strengthen the supervision of drug bidding and purchasing behavior and price. This year, the main drug varieties of medical institutions at or above the county level in the province should be fully purchased by centralized bidding, and the bidding volume of drugs should reach more than 50% of the usage. On the premise of not exceeding the maximum retail price stipulated by the government, the winning drugs can be priced according to the difference rate stipulated by the bid price; Most of the benefits of reducing drug prices through bidding procurement should benefit patients. All relevant departments should strive to improve the transparency of drug prices. For drugs with market-regulated prices, it is necessary to gradually print retail prices on drug packaging, so as to clearly mark prices. Resolutely crack down on indiscriminate price increases or low-price dumping, maintain normal drug price order, and effectively protect the vital interests of the people.

  Three, all localities should combine this year to carry out the "anti misleading, false" advertising market governance special action, comprehensively rectify the drug advertising market order. Focus on the control of illegal, illegal, unscientific, exaggerated efficacy, deceiving consumers; Severely punish acts that interfere with people’s rational and safe use of drugs, and standardize the release order of drug advertisements. Those who publish false drug advertisements after investigation shall be punished according to law.

  Four, rectify and standardize the drug market is an important work related to people’s health and social stability and development. Governments at all levels and relevant departments should, in combination with the actual situation of their own departments in the region, pay close attention to formulating implementation plans to ensure that all measures to rectify and standardize the drug market are implemented.

Opinions on rectifying and standardizing the pharmaceutical market

The State Council Economic Restructuring Office, State Planning Commission and State Economic and Trade Commission

Ministry of Health, State Drug Administration and State Administration for Industry and Commerce

(January 19th, 2001)

  In order to further implement the spirit of the Notice of the General Office of the State Council on Forwarding the Guiding Opinions of the State Council Economic Restructuring Office and Other Departments on the Reform of Urban Medical and Health System (No.16 [2000] of Guo Ban Fa), deepen the reform of pharmaceutical production and circulation system, promote the transformation of functions of relevant government departments, strengthen supervision, treat both the symptoms and root causes, intensify the rectification of the pharmaceutical market, standardize the order of the pharmaceutical market, and promote the healthy development of the pharmaceutical industry, we hereby put forward the following opinions:

  First, crack down on illegal and criminal activities of manufacturing and selling counterfeit and inferior drugs.

  All regions and relevant departments should continue to crack down on the illegal and criminal activities of manufacturing and selling fake and inferior drugs on the basis of conscientiously implementing the notice of the State Council on launching joint action to crack down on illegal and criminal activities of manufacturing and selling fake and inferior commodities (Guo Fa [2000] No.32). For major and important cases of manufacturing and selling fake and inferior drugs that have been discovered, drug supervision, public security, industrial and commercial administration, supervision and other departments should trace back to the source, thoroughly identify manufacturing and selling dens, circulation channels, storage places, sales places and people involved, eliminate the root causes of manufacturing and selling fake and inferior drugs, resolutely punish criminals and disciplinary personnel, and especially punish the chief criminals and recidivists who manufacture and sell fake and inferior drugs and constitute crimes quickly and severely according to law. Drug supervision and other departments should adhere to the combination of centralized rectification and strengthening daily supervision, strengthen market supervision and deepen reform, combine counterfeiting with supporting excellent enterprises, improve the drug quality supervision system and inspection system, and purify the drug market environment.

  Two, the rectification of all kinds of illegal and illegal drug business behavior.

  It is necessary to take practical and effective measures to comprehensively strengthen the management of drug market access, rectify all kinds of illegal and illegal drug sales, ban unlicensed drug sales and illegal transactions, and investigate and deal with giving and receiving kickbacks and other commercial bribery in drug purchase and sale activities. In the work of banning drug markets, it is necessary to implement the responsibility system of local governments and resolutely oppose various forms of local protectionism. Relevant parties should unify their thinking, cooperate with each other, consolidate the achievements of rectifying the pharmaceutical market, and properly handle the aftermath. If the banned illegal drug trading market turns dark or resurfaces, it should continue to be severely cracked down and severely punished. If the problem is serious, the relevant localities, departments and their responsible persons should be held accountable.

  Three, strictly implement the drug management system of separating government from enterprise.

  Drug supervision and other relevant departments shall, in accordance with the requirements of the Notice of the State Council on Approving the Reform Plan of Drug Supervision and Management System in National Medical Products Administration (Guo Fa [2000] No.10), follow the principle of separating government from enterprises, separating supervision and law enforcement from industry management functions, highlighting supervision and management, being unified and efficient, and being consistent in responsibilities and rights, speed up the reform of drug supervision and management system and improve the drug supervision and management system. Drug supervision and other departments should be completely decoupled from their affiliated pharmaceutical companies or pharmaceutical institutions affiliated in various forms and names, and should not maintain economic interests with any pharmaceutical institutions. In the development of pharmaceutical industry and enterprises, we should support and play the role of industry self-regulatory organizations.

  Four, promote the development and alliance of superior pharmaceutical enterprises.

  Resolutely break departmental or local monopolies, ownership restrictions and administrative protection that hinder fair competition, adjust policies and regulations that are not conducive to giving full play to the positive role of market mechanisms, establish a drug quality management monitoring system organized by relevant state departments, cancel repeated testing, repeated examination and approval, and repeated issuance of "quasi-sales licenses" for pharmaceutical enterprises in various places, and cancel restrictions on pharmaceutical enterprises in other regions from entering the local drug market in the name of filing and registration. We should give full play to the role of market mechanism and optimize the structure of pharmaceutical industry. It is necessary to create an environment of fair competition, support superior pharmaceutical enterprises to expand their business scale through acquisitions and mergers, promote the development of marketing methods such as drug agency distribution and chain operation, and form a number of cross-regional, large-scale, intensive and high-level pharmaceutical enterprise groups to play a key role in drug production and circulation.

  Five, reverse the situation of low-level duplication of drug production.

  Local people’s governments at all levels should make up their minds to rectify small pharmaceutical factories and shut down a number of small pharmaceutical factories that pollute the environment, waste resources, do not conform to industrial policies and industry development plans, have low-level redundant construction, fail to meet GMP standards for pharmaceutical production enterprises or fail to operate normally. Drug regulatory authorities should clean up and rectify the hospital preparation room, and hospitals that can normally supply preparations in the market shall not repeat production, and hospitals that do not have preparation conditions shall not be renewed.

  Six, clean up and rectify the drug circulation enterprises

  Cleaning up and rectifying drug circulation enterprises should be combined with the work of drug business renewal. Drug circulation enterprises that have an imperfect quality assurance system, irregular business practices and fail to meet the conditions for renewal shall not be renewed; Drug circulation enterprises that are insolvent, on the verge of bankruptcy, or fail to meet the quality management standards (GSP) for drug business within a certain period of time will be resolutely disqualified; Drug circulation enterprises that cannot operate drugs normally and mainly rely on renting office buildings, warehouses and other properties to survive should be rectified, and those that engage in illegal investment operations should be investigated and punished according to law until their drug business licenses are revoked.

  Seven, improve the centralized bidding system of drugs.

  The health department should standardize the management of drug use in medical institutions, expand the varieties of drugs purchased by centralized bidding, and gradually bring the main drug varieties into the scope of centralized bidding and purchasing. Strict examination and management should be carried out on important links in drug procurement by tender, such as bid evaluation methods and the composition of expert database for the whole society, so as to ensure the openness, fairness and impartiality of drug procurement by tender. Health, drug supervision, price authorities and other departments should supervise the bidding and purchasing behavior and price of drugs. The retail price of drugs purchased by bidding should be reasonably set based on the actual purchase price. The benefits of reducing drug prices through bidding should mainly benefit patients, and medical institutions can share a certain proportion.

  Eight, promote the electronic trading of medical commodities.

  Establish and improve the electronic trading system of medical commodities certified, supervised and managed by relevant government departments, actively promote the electronic trading of medical commodities, give full play to the role of electronic trading system as a bridge between drug production, circulation and consumption, communicate information in time, realize fast trading, and use this system to entrust centralized bidding and purchasing of medical commodities, bring trading behavior into a standardized and open track, and correct unhealthy trends in the purchase and sale of medical commodities from the system.

  Nine, strengthen the construction of rural drug supply network

  It is necessary to effectively solve the problem of lack of regular and stable drug supply channels in the vast rural areas and strengthen the construction of rural drug supply networks. Encourage large and medium-sized pharmaceutical wholesale enterprises to merge with small pharmaceutical wholesale enterprises, extend the sales network to the county level, and develop rural drug sales outlets to facilitate farmers to purchase drugs. Promote centralized bidding and purchasing drugs through rural health service network. In remote areas, rural health service management can also be integrated, and township hospitals can purchase drugs for rural doctors in a unified way to prevent counterfeit and inferior drugs from flowing to rural areas and ensure the safety of farmers’ medication.

  Ten, the implementation of separate accounting and management of medicine.

  Health departments and medical institutions at all levels should actively implement the policies and measures of separate accounting and management of medicines, and strictly implement the relevant provisions on the management of two lines of revenue and expenditure. On the basis of standardizing financial subsidies and adjusting the price of medical services, the outpatient pharmacy of medical institutions will be gradually changed into a pharmaceutical retail enterprise, with independent accounting and tax payment according to regulations, and equal competition with social retail pharmacies will promote the socialization, specialization and intensification of drug circulation, improve efficiency and reduce costs.

  Community health organizations, outpatient departments and individual clinics can only distribute commonly used and first-aid drugs approved by provincial health and drug supervision departments. Health and drug supervision departments should pay close attention to formulating the catalogue of commonly used and first-aid drugs and related management measures, and implement the above measures as soon as possible at the grassroots level.

  Eleven, accelerate the implementation of the classified management system of prescription drugs and over-the-counter drugs.

  Drug supervision and other departments should actively cooperate, improve policies, standardize and manage the sales of prescription drugs as soon as possible. On the basis of ensuring safety and effectiveness, in order to meet the needs of people’s self-care, speed up the selection of over-the-counter drugs and expand the circulation channels of over-the-counter drugs. Class B OTC drugs can be sold in retail stores of daily necessities upon approval.

  Twelve, improve the management of new drug research and approval.

  It is necessary to revise the standards of new drugs and encourage the research and innovation of new drugs. If the technical content is not high and the research and production are repeated at a low level, the drug regulatory authorities should strictly check and not approve the production. Those who resort to deceit in the approval of new drugs should be dealt with severely according to law. The policies and regulations, working procedures and time limits of new drug approval management should be open to the public and subject to social supervision.

  Thirteen, increase the intensity of drug price supervision.

  Gradually implement the system of drug price publicity and the system of printing retail prices on drug packaging, and increase the supervision of drug prices. This work starts with some drugs with market-regulated prices and is gradually extended to all kinds of drugs sold in China. It is necessary to make it clear that the price stipulated by the state is the highest price limit, and to retail drugs in hospitals or pharmacies, it is allowed to sell or print the price below but not above the public price.

  Fourteen, strengthen the supervision and management of drug advertising.

  Drug regulatory authorities at all levels and administrative departments for industry and commerce should conscientiously implement the spirit of the Notice of the State Drug Administration and the State Administration for Industry and Commerce on Strengthening the Examination and Management of Prescription Drug Advertisements (No.14 [2001] of the State Administration of Medicine) and gradually stop advertising prescription drugs in the mass media. Drug regulatory authorities should strictly examine all kinds of drug advertisements in accordance with the relevant provisions, and supervise and inspect their daily publication and broadcasting. If illegal or illegal drug advertisements are found, they should take timely measures to deal with them accordingly. The administrative department for industry and commerce should intensify the investigation and punishment of illegal and illegal drug advertisements, and effectively regulate the release order of drug advertisements.

  Fifteen, comprehensively implement the measures to rectify and standardize the drug market.

  Rectifying and standardizing the pharmaceutical market is related to the vital interests of the broad masses of the people, to the healthy development of the pharmaceutical industry and health undertakings, and to the overall situation of reform, opening up and stability. All regions and relevant departments should attach great importance to it, strengthen leadership, unify their thinking, raise awareness, overcome local and departmental departmentalism, and comprehensively use legal, economic, administrative and public opinion means in a spirit of being highly responsible to the country and the people to conscientiously rectify and standardize the drug market.

  All provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government shall, in accordance with the above opinions and in combination with the actual situation in the region, pay close attention to formulating implementation plans, make careful arrangements and organize them carefully to ensure that all measures to rectify and standardize the drug market are implemented. The relevant departments of the State Council will timely supervise and inspect the implementation of this opinion in various regions.

In 2018, a big wave of new policies will be related to your "wallet" from July 1.

  In a blink of an eye, 2018 is about halfway through. In July, there is a big wave of new policies about your wallet: the reduction of tariffs on imported consumer goods, the cancellation of traffic roaming fees, etc. What other new policies are there?

  1 enterprise employees’ pensions shall be subject to the central adjustment system.

  The State Council recently issued the Notice on Establishing the Central Adjustment System of the Basic Endowment Insurance Fund for Enterprise Employees, and decided to establish the central adjustment system of the endowment insurance fund, which will be implemented on July 1, 2018. On the basis of the current provincial overall planning of basic old-age insurance for enterprise employees, a central adjustment fund for old-age insurance will be established, and the old-age insurance funds in various provinces will be appropriately adjusted to ensure that basic pensions are paid in full and on time.

  The relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security said that the implementation of the central fund transfer system will not increase the burden on enterprises and individuals and will not affect the treatment of retirees. First, do not increase the proportion of contributions paid by enterprises and individual employees. The establishment of a central fund adjustment system is mainly to adjust the surplus and deficiency of funds between provinces. The total income and expenditure of the national endowment insurance fund in the current period has not changed, and enterprises and individual employees do not need to pay extra fees, which will not increase the overall burden of society. Second, it will not change the current pension insurance benefits calculation and adjustment methods, and will not affect the personal benefits of retirees. In some provinces, the amount of funds borrowed is greater than the amount of funds allocated. In these provinces, the burden of old-age care is relatively light and the fund support ability is strong. After adjustment, it will not affect the timely and full payment of current pensions. In some provinces, the amount of funds allocated is greater than that of the above solution. Through adjustment, the pressure of fund payment can be appropriately alleviated, and the basic pension can be better guaranteed to be paid in full and on time.

  2. Adjustment of social security payment base

  Many places in the country have successively announced the social security payment base in 2018. Taking Beijing as an example, the lower limit of the payment base for employees participating in basic old-age insurance and unemployment insurance is 40% of the average monthly salary of employees in Beijing in 2017, with a minimum of 3,387 yuan, which is 305 yuan higher than last year; For employees who participate in basic medical insurance, industrial injury insurance and maternity insurance, the minimum payment base is 60% of the average monthly salary of employees in this city in 2017, with a minimum of 5,080 yuan, up 456 yuan from last year.

  Social security payment is related to the treatment of the insured after retirement. Only when a certain payment level is reached can a better treatment level be achieved. If the payment level is too low, the pension level is still low. In other words, the payment level will increase with the increase of average salary, and the future treatment level will also increase.

  3. The tax incentives for scientific and technical personnel will be "received"

  The Ministry of Finance, the State Taxation Administration of The People’s Republic of China and the Ministry of Science and Technology jointly issued the Notice on Individual Income Tax Policies for Scientific and Technological Personnel to Earn Cash Rewards from Their Post Scientific and Technological Achievements, which made it clear that since July 1, 2018, non-profit research and development institutions and institutions of higher learning approved according to the law on promoting the transformation of scientific and technological achievements, the cash rewards given to scientific and technological personnel from their post scientific and technological achievements can be included in the "salary and salary income" of scientific and technological personnel in the current month at a reduced rate of 50%, and personal income tax can be paid according to law.

  It is cheaper to import daily consumer goods.

  With the approval of the State Council, the MFN tariff rate of some consumer goods will be reduced from July 1, 2018, involving 1449 tax items, and the average tax rate will be reduced from 15.7% to 6.9%, with an average decrease of 55.9%.

  6. The vehicle purchase tax will be levied on the trailer by half.

  The Ministry of Finance, State Taxation Administration of The People’s Republic of China, and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology jointly issued the Announcement on Reducing Vehicle Purchase Tax on Trailers. From July 1, 2018 to June 30, 2021, the vehicle purchase tax will be reduced by half. The date of purchase shall be determined according to the issuance date of the Uniform Invoice for Motor Vehicle Sales, Special Payment Letter for Customs Tariff or other valid documents.

  7. Preferential tax policies for venture capital enterprises and angel investment individuals.

  The Notice on Tax Policies for Venture Capital Enterprises and Angel Investors jointly issued by the Ministry of Finance and State Taxation Administration of The People’s Republic of China promoted the preferential tax policies for venture capital enterprises and angel investors, that is, the preferential policies for venture capital enterprises and angel investors to invest in seed-stage and start-up technology-based enterprises, and the taxable income was deducted by 70% of the investment amount, which was implemented nationwide by eight pilot areas of comprehensive innovation reform and Suzhou Industrial Park.

  This Notice clarifies that the personal income tax policy for angel investment will be implemented as of July 1, 2018, and other policies will be implemented as of January 1, 2018; The above-mentioned tax policy can be applied to the investment that occurred within 2 years before the implementation date and has been invested for 2 years after the implementation date and meets the prescribed conditions.

  8. Traffic "roaming" fee is cancelled

  On June 22nd, China Mobile, China Unicom and China Telecom successively announced that, starting from July 1st, 2018, the roaming fee will be cancelled, and the provincial traffic of new and old mobile phone users will be upgraded to domestic traffic (excluding Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan traffic).

  Previously, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology launched a series of measures to reduce the growth rate of mobile traffic, including: from July 1, the "roaming" fee for mobile traffic will be cancelled, and basic telecommunications companies will be encouraged to launch large-flow packages. The average unit price of mobile traffic will be reduced by more than 30% during the year. Further reduce household broadband charges and international, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan roaming charges. Promote enterprises to optimize and streamline tariff packages, and study and introduce relevant policies and measures to standardize tariff management. Support all localities to expand the coverage of wireless networks in public places and provide users with free Internet access services.

  9. Some high-speed rail tickets are discounted by 6.5%

  Starting from July 5 this year, the announced fares of high-speed trains running on the six sections of Hefei-Wuhan, Wuhan-Yichang, Guiyang-Guangzhou, Liuzhou-Nanning, Shanghai-Nanjing and Nanjing-Hangzhou were optimized and adjusted. This time, it is clear that the published fare is the highest price limit. Railway-related enterprises can lower the fare within the price limit by season, time, seats and sections according to the passenger flow, with a maximum discount of 6.5%. Compared with the current situation, the adjusted executive fare has generally increased and decreased.

  10. Tianjin will raise the unemployment insurance standard from July 1st.

  A few days ago, Tianjin issued a notice, starting from July 1 this year, it will raise the unemployment insurance payment standard.

  According to the "Notice on Improving the Payment Standard of Unemployment Insurance in Tianjin", if the payment period is from the first month to the twelfth month, the monthly payment standard will be raised from 1150 yuan to 1240 yuan; For the 13th to 24th months, the monthly payment standard was raised from 1,110 yuan to 1,200 yuan, respectively increasing the 90 yuan.
