Join forces to fight the "epidemic"! In some districts of Guangzhou, the second round of "Fire Eye" laboratory for all-round nucleic acid detection was carried out to help fight the epidemic.

CCTV News:Pay attention to the news of epidemic prevention and control, focusing on Guangzhou. Yesterday (June 6) morning, Guangzhou held a press conference on epidemic prevention and control. Chen Bin, deputy director of the Guangzhou Municipal Health and Wellness Committee, introduced that the whole staff’s nucleic acid testing has covered 11 districts in Guangzhou. Since the start of the nucleic acid investigation on May 26th, as of 24: 00 on June 5th, 16,088,100 nucleic acid samples have been collected in Guangzhou, and 33 people have been found to be positive.

National monomer laboratory with the highest daily flux for nucleic acid detection was established.

The monomer laboratory with the highest daily throughput for nucleic acid detection in China was built in Guangzhou on June 5th and put into use yesterday (6th).

The laboratory is composed of 15 gas film cabins, equipped with Qualcomm automatic virus nucleic acid extractor and other equipment. After it is put into operation, it will be tested in shifts around the clock, so as to further enhance the nucleic acid detection ability in Guangzhou.

Du Yutao, Commander-in-Chief of Guangzhou Fire Eye Laboratory:We made an emergency survey of the site on the evening of June 4th, and completed the construction in 10 hours.

The detection capacity of this newly-built laboratory is 150,000 single-tube daily flux. If the 10-1 mixed sampling technology is adopted, the highest detection capacity of nucleic acid samples can be 1.5 million people per day. At the same time, it has the characteristics of high volume compression ratio, folding and disassembling, flexible site selection, rapid transportation and rapid layout.

Full-time nucleic acid detection combined with epidemic situation

At present, the second round of all-staff nucleic acid testing has been carried out in some districts of Guangzhou, and volunteers, community workers and medical staff can be seen fighting side by side at every nucleic acid testing point.

In Tianhe South Street, the staff also provided on-site service for residents who could not be present for nucleic acid sampling.

It is a famous medicine in Lingnan, and is known as "Southern Astragalus", which has the functions of invigorating qi, invigorating spleen and eliminating dampness.

  Medicinal materials can be divided into north and south.

  Wushu is known as "southern boxing and northern leg", which is talked about by everyone.

  The characters in the martial arts novels are "Beggars in the South and Beggars in the North", and everyone is familiar with them.

  There are "Southern Tunes and Northern Tunes" in traditional Chinese operas, each with its own strong points and deep mass base.

  The classical story "orange in the south and bitter orange in the north" tells the implication that the same species has mutated due to different environmental conditions.

  Idioms include travelling from the south to the north, fighting in the north, and opposing each other …

  China has a vast territory, the climate difference between north and south is remarkable, and the species are very different. In the eyes of doctors, the use of drugs in the north and the south is different, so there are many names in the world of herbs to show the difference. For example:

  1. Schisandra chinensis and Schisandra chinensis

  2. Radix Glehniae and Radix Glehniae

  3. South Lepidium, North Lepidium

  4. Radix Astragali and Radix Astragali

  It is worth noting that although there is a word difference between the North and the South, there are many differences in source and efficacy, which need to be specifically analyzed to ensure the correct use of drugs in clinic and the safety of patients.

  As we all know, Astragalus membranaceus is a kind of traditional Chinese medicine commonly used in clinic, which has the functions of invigorating qi and rising yang, consolidating exterior and stopping sweating, inducing diuresis and reducing swelling, and is known as the "holy medicine for invigorating qi". In Compendium of Materia Medica, Li Shizhen called it "the strength of tonic medicine".

  Astragalus membranaceus is listed in the list of homologous substances of medicine and food, and it is one of the representatives of "dual use of medicine and food".

  Traditional Chinese medicine believes that Astragalus has the function of "consolidating exterior". Generally speaking, it can increase the body’s protective function and reduce the chance of getting sick. Astragalus tea (30g of Astragalus, brewed with boiling water instead of tea) has become the standard of health care for office workers. Drinking this tea often can improve immunity, and soaking Astragalus and Lycium barbarum in a thermos cup can be described as a health care fashion. Astragalus medicinal diet soup (Astragalus carp soup, Astragalus chicken soup, Astragalus jujube ribs soup, etc.) has been shining on the table of ordinary people, delicious and healthy.

  "Southern Astragalus" is not Astragalus.

  Some friends think that Astragalus membranaceus is different from Astragalus membranaceus, which is really a misunderstanding. Astragalus membranaceus is the dried root of Leguminosae Astragalus mongolicus or Astragalus membranaceus, which is also called Beiqi because it is abundant in northern China.

  The herb known as "Southern Astragalus" is not Astragalus, so where did it come from?

  In fact, Nanqi refers to the five-fingered peach commonly used by Lingnan people. Because it has similar qi-invigorating function to Astragalus membranaceus, it is widely used in Lingnan, so it is known as "Southern Astragalus membranaceus".

  Five-finger peach "as its name suggests"

  The five-fingered peach tree is about one meter to two meters high. The whole plant has short yellow-brown hair and milk. Its leaves usually have five lobes, like a palm with five fingers open; Its fruit is oval and hairy, which is quite similar to peach. The leaves are like five fingers, and the fruit is like a peach. The name of the five-finger peach is vivid and unforgettable. It can be described as "just like its name"!

  Edible method

  1. Chicken soup with five fingers and peaches

  Finger-fingered peach root is often used to cook chicken soup, which is a Hakka medicinal soup and a famous Guangdong soup with good color and flavor. In the hot summer, the temperature and humidity in Lingnan area are always high, which makes people tired and lose appetite. Folk commonly use five-finger peach soup. This soup has a unique aromatic smell, which helps people to strengthen the spleen and replenish qi, eliminate dampness and promote qi circulation. Regular consumption of this medicated diet soup can enhance human immune function.

  Every summer, students tend to think too much when preparing for the senior high school entrance examination and college entrance examination. Chinese medicine believes that "thinking hurts the spleen", people’s emotions will affect the five internal organs, and thinking will affect the spleen and stomach. In addition, the spleen is trapped by summer heat, and internal and external factors are intertwined, which makes people’s appetite worse. Careful parents will boil Wuzhi Maotao soup to strengthen the spleen and eliminate dampness for children, which will help the exam.

  2. Pork feet with five fingers and peaches

  Wash the five-finger peaches with clear water and soak them for a while; Chop the pig’s feet into pieces, put them into a clay pot, add about 8 bowls of water, and cook them with slow fire for about 1 hour after boiling with strong fire, and add appropriate seasoning to serve. This soup has the function of promoting lactation after delivery.

  3. Five Finger Peach Chicken

  Five-finger peaches are used as spices, and appropriate amount is added when making salted chicken, or five-finger peaches are stuffed into chicken belly, so that the baked chicken has the fragrance of five-finger peaches, which is delicious and healthy. Also popular with diners are five-fingered peach chicken feet. With the accelerated pace of life, young people have rarely made five-fingered peaches and chicken feet at home.

  In the streets and alleys of Meizhou, Heyuan and other Hakka areas, there are many food stores with salted chicken and braised chicken feet. People buy bulk five-fingered peach chicken and chicken feet in the stores to eat at home, or let the stores vacuum package them as special products to give to friends.

  Knowledge of five-finger peach medicinal materials

  Peach with five fingers is the dry root of Ficus crassifolia, a Moraceae plant, and it is a commonly used medicinal material in Lingnan, and there are many records in materia medica. It was first recorded in the Qing Dynasty’s "Preparation of Raw Herbs", and it was named Wuzhaolong. The book "Lingnan Herb Collection Record" written in the Republic of China records: five-claw dragon, alias five-dragon root, dragon leaf. Other aliases are Nanqi, Tuhuangqi (Guangzhou Handbook of Common Chinese Herbal Medicine) and Tuwujia (Guangxi Chinese Herbal Medicine).

  chemical composition

  In order to find out what chemical components are contained in the five-finger peach, phytochemical researchers pulverized it in the laboratory, extracted it with water and alcohol, separated and purified it, and analyzed it with modern scientific instruments, and found that the five-finger peach contains flavonoids (quercetin, naringin, luteolin, apigenin, etc.), sugars, amino acids and other components.

  Modern pharmacological research

  1. Enhance immunity.

  Modern pharmacological experiments show that Ficus hirsuta can improve the immunity of experimental mice by participating in the immune regulation of cells.

  2. Cough relieving effect

  The ethanol extract and water extract of Syzygium pentaphyllum were given to mice by gavage, which had antitussive effect on cough.

  3. Bacteriostasis

  Adding the components of Ficus hirta to the bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus cultured in the laboratory has a good antibacterial effect.

  4. Liver protection

  Five-finger peach has protective effect on stress liver injury. It has a certain protective effect to give the extract of Ficus hirta to mice with alcoholic liver injury by gavage.

  Quality control and related preparations

  In order to standardize the quality of medicinal materials, Guangdong and Guangxi have formulated the medicinal standards of five-fingered peaches, which are recorded in the Standards of Chinese Medicinal Materials in Guangdong Province and the Quality Standards of Zhuang Medicine in Guangxi respectively.

  In addition to being directly taken into decoction, Wuzhimao is also used to produce a variety of compound Chinese patent medicines, such as Compound Chuanbei Zhike Syrup, Weiyangning Pill, Sanwei Zhike Tablet, Gongyanping Tablet/Capsule/Dropping Pill, Fuyanjing Capsule, etc. In the pharmaceutical factory, before being put into production as raw material medicine, Ficus hirta must be inspected and meet the quality standards before it can be put into production.

  Drug application

  1. Treat postpartum agalactia

  2. Warming the heart and spleen

  Professor Deng Tietao, a master of traditional Chinese medicine, likes to use five-fingered peaches, and the dosage is large. Warm and tonify the yang of the heart and spleen, like to use sweet and warm five-fingered peaches and astragalus, and the amount of qi deficiency is more than 45 g.

  Tips

  Through Baidu, it is not difficult to find that poisoning incidents related to five-finger peaches have occurred from time to time in recent years, which needs to be paid attention to.

  Mixed growth of Herba Clerodendranthi and Prunus mume may spread the virus. Many years ago, after the villagers in Wuhua County were poisoned by drinking Wuzhimaotao soup, the relevant departments tested the Wuzhimao soup and found that the roots of these Wuzhimao peaches actually contained enterotoxin. The analysis shows that Syzygium pentaphyllum grows in the mountains, and may be mixed with Herba Lysimachiae. Over time, the toxin of Herba Lysimachiae will naturally seep into the roots of Syzygium pentaphyllum. If you only eat a small amount, you will not be poisoned. If the dose is too large, you may be poisoned.

  The appearance of the roots of Herba Clerodendranthi is similar to that of the five-finger peach roots, and the flowers of Herba Clerodendranthi are also similar to honeysuckle. Don’t dig blindly. It is recommended to buy medicinal materials in regular pharmacies.

Interview with Li yuming, director of hometown stranger: if you choose your feelings, the commercialization of the film will definitely be lost?

??

Journal No.3260 on September 1, 2022

In recent years, Chinese art films have shined brilliantly in international film festivals. The film "Hometown Alien" won the amazing FIRST film in the 15th FIRST Youth Film Exhibition, the film specially mentioned by the jury in the 12th Beijing International Film Festival, the best screenwriter in the 8th Chongqing Youth Film Festival, and the special mention of the new honor of the year in the 16th Chinese Youth Film Week, and was selected into the 26th Capri Hollywood International Film Festival and the 6th New era Youth Film Season-New Force Film Project.

(At the premiere of the 15th FIRST Youth Film Exhibition)

Art film is of great significance for developing film art innovation and frontier exploration, and improving audience appreciation level. Here, the first producer talked to Li Songming, the director of Hometown Stranger, and felt the charm of art films.

Fantasy journey of love and growth, ingenious reconstruction of illusion and reality

The chairman of the jury of Beijing International Film Festival commented on "Hometown Stranger" in this way: the film uses a rare gaze to make the spectacular scenery of Guizhou’s deep mountains and rivers become the fulcrum of the whole film. Man’s existence is like a stone and a tree in nature, which gives birth to interest. Comparing with the claustrophobic space of urban life, it causes people to think philosophically about existence and memory.

(The 12th Beijing International Film Festival pays attention to the future unit award ceremony)

As the first feature film, the film Hometown Alien is based on the personal experience of screenwriter and director Li Yuming, which has a strong personal life color. The film tells the story of Xing Gui, a screenwriter who is sick in bed and hemiplegia, and conflicts with his girlfriend Xiao Jie who takes good care of him and his mother, and then falls into the trough of his life. After recovery, he returned to his hometown to write a script, and together with his elderly grandmother, his girlfriend and his mother who came later, he embarked on a fantastic journey of love and growth in a confused and different memory puzzle …

"Hometown Stranger" adopts a two-stage structure of alternating reality and reality, juxtaposes the life of big cities and villages, and shows the multifaceted nature of family life. There are conflicts between different family members’ narratives of the same thing, and even the different narratives of the same person will be inconsistent. This very common but easily overlooked point is well presented in this film.

Li yuming analyzed the narrative structure. "in the movie, the same thing, grandma told xiaojie in bad weather is a good side, but in good weather it told xinggui is a bad side." Does it look like a Tai Chi map? There is white in black and black in white. Does it look like our closest relatives? Those heartfelt words can often be blurted out to the closest relatives. In the face of outsiders, they can take care of each other’s feelings and even tell some white lies! For example, Xing Gui speaks directly to his mother and girlfriend, and sometimes even expresses his love in a harsh tone. But the way he talks to his ex-girlfriend is softer, and he will take care of each other’s feelings … "

"Fish raft" and "old house" contain a lot of symbols and metaphors.

A stranger in my hometown skillfully reconstructs illusion and reality with the structure of "play in play" The highlight "Hometown" was filmed in Bijie, Guizhou, the director’s hometown. In the film, there are many romantic and poetic scenes. Li Yuming shared that "I am from Guizhou, and the Guizhou described in the script is the Guizhou in my memory." Guizhou is a place where there is no sunny day for three days and the ground is not three feet flat. Guizhou itself has a romantic temperament, especially in winter and spring communication. Just like the two comparisons in our movie, it is uncertain, but attractive and thought-provoking. "

The filming and scenery making of Hometown Stranger are meticulous, and a lot of symbols and metaphors are buried. "Mom’s home is arranged on a fish raft, which is my feeling about my hometown and my mother’s home: I am a stranger in my hometown, wandering and have no sense of belonging. Grandma’s home is an abandoned old house we found. This old house didn’t even have doors and windows at first, and all the old things in it were bought or borrowed from the village. We chose this old house because it has a mountain on its back, a path in front and bamboo forests on its side. It has a good sense of space and layering, and it is very landing. This is also my feeling about my grandmother’s home: stable and belonging. "

It is not difficult to see that there is only one shot in each scene of "Hometown Stranger", and they are all fixed seats and large depth of field. The director canceled the scheduling of the camera and the cutting of the lens, which not only reduced the creative burden of non-professional actors, but also made the picture look realistic.

Grandma in her eighties,Contribute the most touching performance to the film

In recent years, more and more directors have begun to boldly use amateur actors to play the leading role. The 79-year-old Yang Taiyi was shortlisted as the best actor for "Crossing Zhao Guan", competing with famous actors such as Wang Jingchun, Xú Zhēng and Duan Long. In addition, in recent years, Toshitabe’s highly acclaimed "Dark Horse" literary films, such as Roadside Picnic, Heart Labyrinth, Gangrenboqi, Red Flowers and Green Leaves, have almost all starring amateurs.

In Hometown Stranger, apart from young actors Ye Linsheng and Ci Wantong, what impressed the audience the most was the performance of my grandmother. My grandmother had two scenes when talking about her childhood. She performed in two different States: sadness and freedom. She contributed to the performance of not losing professional actors in the film, which made the audience shine.

The grandmother in "Hometown Stranger" is over 80 years old and can’t read. All the lines are read to her by others. Director Li Yuming was also playing drums in his heart before filming. "I took out two plays that were difficult to complete. If grandma’s performance fell below the passing line, we would have to change people, even if she was my own grandmother. Producer Xiao Xiao found two retired old professors in Guiyang and Zunyi as alternatives. If grandma can’t control this role, she will adjust it as soon as possible. But my grandmother did a very good job, and she won the trust and respect of her crew members by her own talent. "

Realism is the natural advantage of an amateur actor. Li Yuming shared, "There is a scene to teach my grandmother to do Tai Chi exercises. I learned to teach my grandmother in advance. After she learned it several times, she slipped away. I’ caught’ her back. I said, Grandma, you have to do it with me. Life lies in exercise. Grandma said, nonsense, life lies in labor. Say that finish, grandma walked towards the field with a hoe. At that moment, I began to question my inherent ideas and education. Grandma is an old man who has never read a book. What she said is completely based on her life experience, but it is closer to the essence of life. "

Interpretation of intimate relationship from different perspectives,

Trade-offs and choices are given to the audience

In "Hometown Stranger", both the feelings before men and women, and the emotional descriptions between mothers and children, grandparents and grandchildren are all very real. The feelings between characters spill over the screen, directly hitting the audience’s hearts and making emotional connections with them. The audience can interpret from different perspectives according to their own emotional experience.

In the creation of "Hometown Stranger", it also brought new cognition to the director. "I always thought that my grandmother missed her late grandfather very much. When collecting folk songs, I asked her, do you miss grandpa? She replied that she didn’t want to. The dead old man always quarreled with me when he was alive. I was happier when he died. That moment was hard for me to accept. After speaking, grandma picked up scissors and went to grandpa’s grave 30 meters away from home, and began to repair the weeds in the grave. I said, why did you start mowing the grass before Tomb-Sweeping Day arrived? Grandma said that when your grandfather was alive, his hair was a little long and he clamored for it to be cut. I don’t think he would like the grass on the grave to be too long. At that moment, I was touched. It is true that grandma hates grandpa, and it is also true that she loves grandpa. What kind of intimate relationship is not like this? Mixed with love and hate, swing back and forth between the two! Therefore, most of the plots in Hometown Stranger are ambiguous, and there are many possibilities. The choice depends on the audience themselves.

In Hometown Stranger, there are still some memories about family of origin and intimate relationship. The director tried hard to find the truth, but he could not find it. So, he wrote the memory gap and thinking into the script and made it into a movie, about love and hate, about gain and loss. ……

Choose feelings and accept commercial loss.

Art films pay attention to the director’s personal artistic expression, and director Li Yuming does not deny that "Hometown Stranger" is a bit emotional. "At the beginning of creation, we thought very clearly that we should be emotional, and we can accept the bite of commercial loss caused by excessive feelings. At the same time, excessive commerce will also destroy the quality of the film. For producers or directors, it is necessary to balance the relationship between feelings and business. Movies that are both creative and commercial can often achieve greater success. "

In the face of the current literary film market, Li Yuming also has his own views. "As we all know, the market return rate of literary films is not high, but with the success of literary films such as" Into the Dust ",it can be seen that the audience’s film aesthetics are also improving. A benign film market must be both commercial and artistic. Our film market is very huge, so the evaluation system and the needs of the audience should not and will not always be so single, right? Even if there will be temporary failure due to some uncontrollable factors in the process, we filmmakers should keep looking forward to the future and try to change the parts that can be changed! "

At present, in the art cinema market, literary films are still generally applauded but not popular, but as the director of literary films, Li Yuming doesn’t want to give up the creation of literary films. "Will I make literary films in the future? Of course it will! But I will shoot two genre films first, and then come back to shoot literary films when I have a surplus. I don’t want to put myself or my partners in a dilemma because of my personal feelings. I would like to expect China’s future literary films to perform better and better in the market. Both the author and the audience need to grow up. Although the road is far away, the trip will come. "

In the first half of 2017, the top ten rumors in the circle of friends were announced: Tell parents not to believe.

  [Global Network Technology Comprehensive Reporter Lin Di]Today is the last day of June, and 2017 is already halfway through. The circle of friends we usually brush is often rumored and repeatedly banned. This morning, WeChat officially announced the top ten rumors in the circle of friends in the first half of 2017. Some rumors are really confusing. In addition to the traditional rumors spread by words and pictures, new rumors tend to be video-oriented, which is even more harmful.

  The following are the main contents of the top ten rumors in the circle of friends and the harm index. Look carefully, and don’t get shot again!

  Top ten rumors of friends circle

  1. The floss on the floss bread is made of cotton

  Rumor category: false report

  Deception index: ★★★★★★ Hazard index: ★★★★★

  Rumor content:

  In late May, videos of several pieces of floss soaked in floss bread were circulated on the Internet. The photographers came from different regions, but the content was basically the same: after buying floss bread or cakes, the floss above was soaked in water, and the floss turned into white flocs in the water. The photographer claimed that the floss was actually made of cotton, and the white flocs could be lit with a lighter as proof.

  China Food Medicine News, the official WeChat platform of the State Food and Drug Administration, refuted the video of "Meat muffin wrapped in cotton":Meat floss and cotton are different in composition and taste, so it is almost impossible to pretend to be meat floss with cotton.

  The essence of meat floss is muscle fiber, and the main component is protein, which will melt when put into your mouth, and the taste is soft. The essence of cotton is plant fiber, the main component is cellulose, which is an insoluble fiber. Although it looks soft, it is not chewy. In other words, if cotton is really used to pretend to be fluffy, it will be seen through when it is eaten.

  Relevant experts also pointed out that the "burning" identification method used in the video seems scientific, but it is actually not reliable. It is a common phenomenon that food can be ignited, because it contains protein, fat, carbohydrates and other combustibles. The main ingredient of the floss is protein, which can definitely be ignited, just like the hair can be ignited, and there will be a burnt smell. The main component of cotton is cellulose, which can be ignited, but it will not be burnt.

  The spread of this rumor video has caused some netizens to question and worry about food safety, and even related products have been returned and removed from the shelves, causing great losses to some enterprises.

  Comments:

  Many people like to eat bread or cake. This video reminds everyone not to be fooled in the name of caring about everyone’s daily life, but it has achieved the opposite effect. A famous person once said, "Prejudice stems from ignorance. "In fact, rumors are the same. People who want to make these videos should carefully verify them before releasing them, and don’t tell the world in a hurry because of their cognitive bias, which will make people panic.

  2. The emoticon pack was invented by the Japanese, and you have to pay for it.

  Rumor category: false report

  Deception index: ★★★★★★ Hazard index: ★★★★

  Rumor content:

  "Dear brothers and sisters, please take a good look at all Chinese sons and daughters in the following words, don’t you know? This is the expression pack/::/:/:and so on. It was invented by Japanese devils, and you earned 0.01 cents once you requested it on WeChat. This alone is broadcasted nearly 100 million times a day. Do the math? How many times are expressions requested every day? And how much RMB will the Japanese devils earn? We in Chinese are unconsciously giving money to the Japanese. From now on, I won’t order a single expression. I hope the family can see it? I hope that Chinese children will try not to send these expressions again, and only those who broadcast on CCTV 1 will know. I hope that all groups will forward, and the merits will be boundless! "

  These expressions exemplified in rumors are actually collectively referred to as Emoji, commonly known as "emoji", and their meanings come from Japanese painting characters (ぇもじ). The original "Emoji" expression was really invented by the Japanese: it was invented by a Japanese named Kurita Chongchong in the late 1990s. However, it has long been included in the Unicode Consortium, an international non-profit organization, which is responsible for its maintenance and management.

  It is free and unlimited to obtain a copy of Unicode data files and software to process data files or software-that is, there is no charge for emoji, and the system emoji of WeChat is also provided to users for free.The idea that someone can share the money by forwarding these emoticons is totally untrue.

  Comments:

  I can’t believe that these expressions we use every day will be the target of rumors one day. . . Please feel free to use it, but secretly tell you that Xiaobian’s favorite expression recently is Tencent’s own design: [smirk]

  3. Four fake monks appeared in a certain place to steal kidneys.

  Rumor category: false report

  Deception index: ★★★★★ Hazard index: ★★★★★

  Rumor content:

  A video content claims: This is a real event that happened in xx. Recently, four fake monks entered the room to anesthetize a family of four and stole their kidneys on the grounds that they exchanged old banknotes at high prices. The video is just a picture of the family’s funeral, which is unbearable.

  Truth:

  In fact, the rumor about "monks stealing kidneys" has appeared in many parts of the country, but it used to be a text version, and now it has become a video version.

  There are many versions of this rumor, such as "138 monks stole kidneys", "pregnant women were stolen kidneys when giving birth" and "gangs stole children to get organs", etc., but they have all been confirmed as rumors. Weibo and WeChat, the official police officers in many places across the country, have also refuted such news one after another, saying that they have not received such alarm recently.

  The real situation recorded in the video is a murder case in Xihua County, Henan Province on June 11 this year: a local villager killed his family of four with a knife because of a dispute with the villagers. This incident has nothing to do with "four monks stealing kidneys".

  Moreover, it is not so simple to steal kidneys to buy and sell living organs. The stories that organs are gone after being fascinated by drugs have been proved to be sensational urban legends. Organ transplantation needs matching, and this matching is not a simple blood type matching, but also requires the tissues of both donors and recipients to be as close as possible, otherwise the immune system of recipients will attack and reject foreign tissues.

  And after the organ is taken out of the body, it needs to be refrigerated under strict sanitary conditions, but it has lost its function before being transplanted into the recipient within a certain period of time. For example, the longest time for the kidney is 48 hours, the pancreas is 12 hours, and the liver is only 8 hours. It is inconsistent with medical common sense to steal the organ for sale.

  Rumors of stealing kidneys have been around for a long time, and rumors will be circulated forever.

  If the recording of videos like "Soft Bread" and "White Worm with Shrimp Head" is still possible due to some ignorance, the video producer of "Monks Stealing Kidney" obviously took advantage of the public’s concern about the risk of life safety and used the unfortunate experiences of others as the content of video rumors, but he could not find any other words except "malice" and "immorality".

  4. Rice is made of plastic

  Rumor category: false report

  Deception index: ★★★★★ Hazard index: ★★★★

  Rumor content:

  Since February, a two-minute video has been circulated on the WeChat platform. In the video, a man keeps putting plastic bags into a machine, and after melting, drawing and cutting, he finally produces a granular white solid like rice grains. The video is accompanied by a text saying that this is the production process of fake rice.

  "Plastic rice" is actually a rumor that has been circulating for a long time. As early as 2011, there was a rumor on social media at home and abroad that’ plastic rice’ was made in China. Later, many netizens and experts pointed out that the so-called’ plastic rice’ was not regarded as food. However, the rumor has come back recently.

  People in the plastic industry said that the equipment used in the video is a common plastic granulator in the plastic industry. The factory puts the recycled plastic into the plastic granulator to produce recycled plastic granules, which are semi-finished raw materials for making plastic products again. The reason why it is made into granules is to facilitate storage and transportation.

  At present, there is no fake method of mixing plastic ingredients into rice, and the average price of such recycled plastic particles is about 10 yuan per kilogram, while the average rice does not exceed 5 yuan per kilogram. The cost of plastic particles is more expensive than rice, so it is unnecessary for merchants to replace fake rice with plastic.

  In this regard, the State Food and Drug Administration also refuted the "Plastic Rice" incident in the form of its official WeChat account "China Food Medicine News".

  Comments:

  For this rumor, it is enough for everyone to remember one sentence:Plastic is much more expensive than rice, and only a fool would pass it off as rice.

  5. Porphyra is made of plastic bags

  Rumor category: false report

  Deception index: ★★★★ Hazard index: ★★★★★

  Rumor content:

  Since February this year, a large number of "plastic laver" videos have appeared. While soaking laver, the photographer told everyone that it is not laver but plastic. In order to further prove that these lavers are fake, some people even burned the laver in their hands with a lighter.

  Truth:

  The rumor that "seaweed is made of plastic bags" appeared as early as 2011. The media interviewed nutrition experts, doctors and laver farmers, and made many related rumors.

  According to experts, Porphyra haitanensis and Porphyra yezoensis are the main types of laver in the market, Porphyra haitanensis is cultivated in Wenzhou and Fujian, and Porphyra yezoensis is the main type in Jiangsu and other places. However, the quality of laver is slightly worse and the taste is tougher. However, even Porphyra haitanensis without water is far less tough than black plastic bags.

  The plastic bag itself contains a strong smell of chemical materials, which is tough and insoluble in water. It is also very different in smell and taste, and the taste at the entrance is completely different from that of laver, so it is impossible to be confused.

  The relevant safety supervision departments of laver enterprises involved in the video also carried out verification, and said that the products of the enterprises met the corresponding national food safety standards, and no plasticizer was found, and there was no problem.

  Although the "Plastic Porphyra" video was refuted by the relevant authorities when it first appeared on the Internet, the video was constantly forwarded and spread on the Internet. In a short time, the rumor shock wave quickly spread from consumers, supermarkets, dealers and processing plants to farmers, and the related industrial chains were also severely hit.

  After the police investigation, the real purpose of the personnel who made and disseminated "plastic laver" was to carry out extortion by spreading rumors, and the relevant personnel involved in the case have also been arrested one after another.

  Comments:

  It is a low-level common sense mistake to confuse laver with plastic. It is this kind of low-level error and novelty-seeking false content that spread, causing huge losses to enterprises in normal operation. I hope that all of us will not be easily fooled by this common sense mistake in the future. We should eat whatever we want, check more on the Internet, and the general rumor information will be released in time.

  6. There are two white lines in the shrimp head, which are actually white parasites.

  Rumor category: false report

  Deception index: ★★★★ Hazard index: ★★★★

  Rumor content:

  A small video about shrimp infected with parasites is very popular. In the video, a faceless person cuts off the shrimp head and picks out two slender white lines with a toothpick. The video producer claims that this is a parasite of shrimp, and warns netizens to eat less shrimp in the future. He also calls on everyone to move their fingers to spread the video for the health of relatives and friends.

  In fact, similar rumors have appeared as early as a few years ago, and this video is just an upgraded version of rumors.

  There are indeed white lines when the shrimp head is cut open, but these two white lines are not so-called parasites, but the testis of the male shrimp. They always appear in a pair at the same time, the immature testis is colorless and transparent, and it is milky white after maturity. There are not only prawns, but also shrimps and lobsters, and they are stronger. The gonad of shrimp is mainly composed of protein, which is completely edible.

  The producer of the video called this kind of parasite as liver fluke, and the shrimp in the video should be Penaeus vannamei. In fact, no liver fluke has been found in Penaeus vannamei at present, and when the liver fluke is parasitic in fish and shrimp, it is invisible to the naked eye and can only be seen with the help of a microscope. The professional explanation in the video is actually a fallacy.

  Live fish and shrimp may indeed contain parasites, such as liver flukes, paragonimiasis, round flukes, etc., but there is a problem of infection probability, and it is impossible for all of them to have parasites. andAs long as the materials are fresh and cooked, the risks can be completely avoided.

  Comments:

  In the first half of the year, there were many rumors about this small video content, all of which were related to food. Rumors have spread wildly, and people have suffered from eating goods. Now that rumors have been broken, you foodies can enjoy the delicious food given to us by nature with peace of mind and pleasure.

  7. "Liu Mingwei" lost his college entrance examination admission ticket again.

  Rumor category: false report

  Deception index: ★★★★ Hazard index: ★★★★

  Rumor content:

  I found an admission ticket for the college entrance examination. Liu Mingwei, the test center is in No.1 Middle School. Please forward it to my friends and ask Liu Mingwei to contact this number at 151****7258. Be sure to help him send it to the group. The child’s family must be anxious. Spread, spread, don’t delay the children’s college entrance examination!

  Truth:

  Almost every year at the end of May and the beginning of June, such information will come out. From former Bai Yaqian to Steven Yang Lei, to this year’s Liu Mingwei. And the phone number left by the same classmate is not the same. What is different from previous years is that this year’s college entrance examination has not yet started, and the admission ticket has not yet started printing. The admission ticket of "Liu Mingwei" is "lost".

  In this regard, the education department also reminded that candidates’ admission tickets are generally printed and distributed one week before the college entrance examination, and it is impossible to lose them without taking the exam. The printing of admission tickets for the summer college entrance examination in 2017 officially began on June 2, and all exams are finished. It can be printed between 9: 00 and 20: 00 every day, and candidates can print multiple copies for backup.

  Even if you really get the admission ticket during the college entrance examination, you should not look for candidates through network communication, but hand it over to the local public security department or education department at the first time and return it in time through the public security department and education department.

  Then, what is the publisher’s purpose in this rumor of losing the admission ticket on time every year?The deputy detachment leader of the network police detachment of Taizhou Public Security Bureau said that publishers of such news generally use the curiosity and sympathy of the citizens to publish rumors such as losing the admission ticket and leave a toll phone. Once the citizens call back by the phone number and follow the phone prompt, they will fall into the trap of charging.

  Comments:

  The spread of this rumor is basically a necessary item before and during the college entrance examination every year. . Xiaobian’s only hope is that the old irons who saw it last year and forwarded it will not continue to be fooled next year.

  8. Mou Cuicui, who has been missing for 15 years, was forced to beg by "picking and cutting".

  Rumor category: false report

  Deception index: ★★★★ Hazard index: ★★★★

  Rumor content:

  A video of "singing on the streets of Guizhou with four limbs disabled women" was circulated on the Internet in March and April this year. It is reported that the Mou family in Huaguan Town, Guangrao County, Shandong Province, after watching the video for hundreds of times, thought that the disabled woman singing was Mou Cuicui, a relative who disappeared 15 years ago.

  According to Mou’s family, Cui Cui was a normal person with sound limbs and was about 165cm tall. As a result, netizens have speculated that the woman was beaten with limbs and begged on the street. This kind of behavior has been called "harvesting and cutting" since ancient times, and it has been severely punished in all dynasties.

  Truth:

  Ms Nie, who lives in Baiyun District, Guiyang, came to Gongjiazhai police station to report the case, claiming that she was the street performer in the news report videos and pictures, but not the missing woman Mou Cuicui in Shandong.

  After investigation, Ms. Nie grew up in Guizhou Province, and has never been to Shandong Province. She was born with limbs disability, and has been singing and performing arts in the streets of Guizhou for a long time. The related video and pictures were taken by netizens in July 2016 when she was performing arts in the street opposite the Panda Toilet at T-junction in Zunyi City, Guizhou Province.

  According to Ms. Nie, there were three of her friends at the scene. The related street performers are all voluntary behaviors, and it is not the case that they are forced to "beg" by "cutting off their limbs" as reported by the Internet.At present, Guiyang police have collected DNA samples for comparison, and the results confirm that the street singers in Guizhou are not related to Mou Cuicui’s family.

  Comments:

  The "harvesting and cutting" first appeared in the Song Dynasty, and it was a superstitious activity of offering sacrifices to living organs. Cults killed abducted or robbed children or women and took their internal organs, organs or limbs as sacrifices for cult gods.

  For this criminal phenomenon, the government has always been in hell to pay, and the crime of "harvesting and cutting" is executed. At present, there are many rumors about harvesting and cutting, but in fact, some reporters have conducted an in-depth investigation and concluded that there is no case of harvesting and cutting that can be confirmed so far, and the relevant information is hearsay and subjective speculation.

  The society is developing and the morality is progressing. Everyone should have full confidence in this.

  Deception index: ★★★★ Hazard index: ★★★

  Rumor content:

The establishment of xiong’an new area will objectively bring great changes to the local land use policy and regional economic development, so along with this hot social topic, a series of false rumors also spread. In the truth section below, let’s take stock of relevant rumors together.

  Truth:

  1. In a circle of friends, a picture of a man who sold a house before the establishment of xiong’an new area was reported to have fallen to his death in remorse, and was named "Xiong ‘an’s first jump". After investigation, the deceased Yang committed suicide, and the house where he lived was a rental house. Yang did not buy or sell houses in Baoding. The rumor that "xiong’an new area sold a house and jumped off a building" was spread on the Internet. The police have given the rumor maker administrative detention for 10 days according to law.

  2. "87 central enterprises will move to xiong’an new area"?

  On April 8th, regarding the rumor that central enterprises are going to move to xiong’an new area, Ning Ji Zhe, deputy director of the National Development and Reform Commission and director of the National Bureau of Statistics, responded in an interview with media reporters at the 2nd China New Normal Economic Development High-level Forum hosted by China Development Network and the 2016 "Developing China Person of the Year" ceremony: "The rumor can’t be believed. Some enterprises have already stated that they will move to xiong’an new area, which is an independent act of enterprises, and relevant plans will be made in the future."

  3. Baoding will implement the car lottery in June?

  The media reporter interviewed the staff of Baoding Public Security Bureau. The staff member said that the bureau has not received a similar document notice, and if there are relevant policy changes, the government will announce them to the public.

  5. "The Third Capital Airport will be located in Xushui District, Baoding"?

  "Baoding Internet Police Patrol Law Enforcement" refuted the rumor in its official Weibo with a humorous tone: "This is too fake! Don’t rumors usually watch the news? The font p is not at all level. The second airport hasn’t been built yet, so why not build the third airport? Building an airport is really not to build a bus stop, but to build it. "

  Comments:

  The establishment of "xiong’an new area" is an important release policy of the government, and it is natural to trigger a hot discussion in society. However, we should also distinguish the false information in it, and don’t spread all kinds of jokes as facts.

  10. As long as the child drowns for no more than an hour, it can be saved by "backwards".

  Rumor category: false report

  Deception index: ★★★★ Hazard index: ★★★

  Rumor content:

  Please copy what you see, children can be saved as long as they drown for less than an hour! The weather is hot, and the creek is more attractive. . Rescued two drowning children from the river. When the child was not breathing, the villagers used the local first aid method, clutching the child’s feet and running on his back. A few minutes later, the little boy spat out a few mouthfuls of water and cried. After running for at least ten minutes, the little girl was pulled back from the hands of death.

  Summer vacation is coming, I don’t know how many children are going to swim in the water. Please hold on to what you see, and maybe you can save many people. The doctor stressed that if everyone who receives this message can bring it to others, at least one life will be saved. I have done my part! So now you have two choices: 1. Ignore it and 2. Let more people see it.

  Truth:

  The doctor in the emergency department of the relevant people’s hospital said: This method has no scientific basis and should not be advocated.

  The "backward-back method" is a common indigenous method in rural areas in the south, and it does have certain effect on children who have just drowned and whose heartbeat and breathing have not stopped. During the running, the rescuer squeezes the abdomen and chest of the drowning person through his shoulders, squeezing out the water in the lungs and abdomen, and finally rebuilding the respiratory circulation. However, the premise of success is that the child’s drowning time is very short and the heart has not stopped.

  If you drown for a long time and your heartbeat and breathing have stopped, it may affect the rescue if you blindly use the backwards method. Because there is very little oxygen reserve in the human body, the metabolism of the body can only be maintained for 6 minutes after breathing stops completely. If breathing is not resumed in time, the heartbeat will stop and brain cells will die, which is irreversible.

  Comments:

  Don’t let the wrong method continue to spread harm to people and avoid delaying treatment.

Husband’s car hides a secret, and the wife detective’s quick manual allows you to catch one accurate one.

  Recently, a teenage netizen asked Xiao Yao for advice. Her husband drove out at night and said that he was getting together with friends. When he came home, he seemed very tired. He couldn’t help but wonder if he had done something sorry for himself. Experienced Xiao slanting, of course, should check it out for the sisters and send it to the car to search the treasure book.

  

  Hair on the seat

  If the husband has done something bad in the car, there will definitely be hair residue that should not appear, especially in the seat or in the gap of the headrest. If it is a sister with short hair, it must be very suspicious to find long hair in the car.

  Unusual hickey

  If the husband is too intimate with other women in the car, he will definitely find clues in the car, such as the girl’s favorite co-driver makeup mirror, and maybe he will find incredible surprises.

  The sound of the driving recorder

  Many suspicious wives want to put eavesdropping devices and other equipment in the car, but this thing is very risky. If it is found, it will definitely end in a quarrel. But how to know whether a girl has been in her husband’s car and what they have talked about, the driving recorder is definitely a trick. The driving recorder has a recording function, and the car starts to record when it is powered on. As long as you buy a large-capacity memory card, everything your husband said in the car recently can be recorded.

  IPhone frequented places

  I just mentioned recording voice, and I want to know where my husband has been? The location service of iPhone betrayed his location. Open the iPhone settings-click-privacy-location service-system service-frequent places, including all the places where my husband stayed. Combined with the sound of driving recorder, the crime scene can basically be restored.

  If you can’t find the problem in the first four Dafas, it proves that your husband is faithful to you, or he is an extremely cunning master, but even the master is exposed. According to the survey, most of the male friends who habitually cheat around have the habit of hiding condoms in the car. What strange places will they hide?

  Multimedia screen

  Hiding index: ★★★☆☆

  It is said that the more dangerous the place is, the safer it is. The center console seems to be a very conspicuous place, but often these places within the line of sight are more likely to be neglected. It is absolutely brilliant for a male car owner to hide his baby behind the screen. The key is convenient location, and bring it when you reach it.

  In the interlayer of skylight sunshade curtain

  Hiding index: ★★★★★☆.

  Compared with the rear of the display mentioned above, the skylight sunshade interlayer is safer, and the area that 99% car owners will not touch is basically very low, and the advantage of convenient location is taken into account. However, this position can be seen directly through the skylight glass, so female car owners must pay attention.

  Under the carpet

  Hiding index: ★★☆☆☆

  Under the carpet is also a very hidden position, but this position belongs to the footrest position, so it is easy to get dirty, and it will be opened and cleaned every time the car is washed, so the possibility of hiding in this position is relatively low, but it is necessary to pay attention to male car owners who don’t like car washing.

  Back of brake pedal

  Hiding index: ★★★★★★★

  The accelerator brake is used every time you drive. For most people, this place is not a container, so it is impossible to hide things subconsciously. But for automatic transmission models, the brake pedal is relatively large, so the position on the back is just enough to hide things. Suspicious wives may wish to check it.

  Central control T-zone decorative board

  Hiding index: ★★★★★☆.

  For finding the secret of the car, many wives will first check the glove box, but often there is no result. But if your husband likes to modify the central control, then the carbon fiber decorative board of the central control can be well checked.

  Well, this issue of wife detective is purely entertainment. Xiaoyan still hopes that lovers in the world can be happy forever, and also reminds male friends that they must not do anything that is sorry for their partners, otherwise Xiaoyan will often give advice to the sisters. Remember to look good!

How to influence the global creative network with national cultural language?

For centuries, the relationship between blacks inside and outside the African continent has been very complicated, and a history full of pain, slavery, separation and sometimes suspicion has closely linked them. However, this relationship is also developing in a positive direction. In 1964, Malcolm X visited Ghana and gave a speech at a university. At that time, he said, "I don’t feel like a tourist in Ghana or anywhere in Africa. It feels like home to me. It has been 400 years since I left this land, but this is not my intention or my wish. "

Nowadays, the connection between Africa’s growing young population and the black diaspora has become more direct. Driven by a lot of creative attempts and social media platforms such as TikTok, they inspired each other and their inspiration collided with each other. There are many such examples: Black Panther and other films have resonated, but artists such as KehindeWiley and Omar Victor Diop have created spectacular portraits of people, and Nigerian hilarious popular movies are popular in Europe and the Caribbean. There are also African pop songs by Kenyan band Sauti Sol and African beats by singers Tems, Burna Boy and Mr Eazi-in 2022 alone, African beat musicians played more than 13 billion times on Spotify.

The writer Nnedi Okorafor told us: "I will not distinguish the black diaspora from the black people on the African continent. What I am telling is the story of black people, the story of black people all over the world, and the story of this group of black people. Over the years, my personal definition of black expatriates living abroad is: every black person on earth. "

The mixed-race singer and model from Congo and China has 1.6 million fans on Weibo.

??Johnny Chiang

In a country that pays attention to "integration into the collective", Zhong Feifei stands out. The singer and model said in her home in Shanghai: "The world often tells mixed-race people that our existence is’ 50-50 split’-we are incomplete, or incomplete enough. But I feel that I am 100% Congolese and 100% Chinese. As long as you handle your own identity, any hybrid can have great power. "

In recent decades, millions of China workers have moved to the African continent, and about 500,000 African immigrants live in China. Zhong Feifei is 28 years old, her mother is Chinese, and her late father is Congolese. As a new generation in this global economic trend, she spent her childhood in two different countries. After being born in Guangzhou, she spent the first few years in the Republic of Congo. Due to the civil war in Congo, when Zhong Feifei was 5 years old, her parents sent her to Shanghai and raised her by her "very traditional grandmother in China".

At the age of 14, Zhong Feifei left China to live with her mother in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo. There, she fell in love with African beat musicians such as Burna Boy and Davido and the music of TPOK Jazz. In 2014, at the age of 18, she went to Boston University to study. After the outbreak of COVID-19, she returned to China, studied online and obtained a master’s degree in global security studies from Johns Hopkins University. At the same time, she participated in the popular reality show "Creation Camp 2020". Zhong Feifei didn’t make her debut as a group in the end, but as the first mixed-race black player, her appearance caused a storm on social media and gained the attention of 1.6 million users in Weibo.

Zhong Feifei said: "I used to want to work in a non-governmental organization, but now I think I can play a greater role in the field of pop culture as a representative of’ black Asian’, whether in China or elsewhere-even in Hollywood."

Nkuli Mlangeni-Berg, a South African textile designer

??Patricia Reyes for The New York Times

Nine years ago, when Nkuli Mlangeni-Berg, a South African textile designer, went to South America to study fabrics, he found the imprint from the motherland. She met Mario Quispe, an indigenous craftsman in Lima, Peru. Quespe shared with her his Quechua subculture weaving technology: the geometric patterns woven by weft and warp on the hand loom are very similar to the colorful textiles that Ndebele people like to place at home, and M Langini-Berg is also the descendant of Ndebele people.

After Langini Berg returned to South Africa, he decided to continue their cross-cultural communication.

In search of handmade textiles, she trekked across southern Africa and finally came to a small town on the edge of the Karoo Desert in South Africa. There are a group of women in that small town who, like Quespee, still retain the technology handed down from their ancestors. Langini-Berg brought their works to The Nine Vites, a cooperative studio she founded in 2012, which mainly produces carpets, blankets, pillows, artworks and ceramics. Most of the design of the studio is hand-woven by Peruvian and South African craftsmen with Angora goat hair, alpaca hair and wool. One of their earliest works, Sankara Carpet, was selected as "the most beautiful thing" in South Africa by Design Indaba (a global event held in South Africa every year) in 2017.

Langini-Berg often travels to mansker Raal, where her great-grandmother used to be a traditional psychotherapist in the Ndebele community. Langini-Berg said, "Textiles play a very important role in every ceremony in our family. For example, you will get a blanket when you are born, a blanket when you reach a certain age or adulthood, and the coffin will be wrapped in a blanket after you die. "

Top: carpets made by the Ninevites.

Bottom: the Ninevites cooperative studio members take a group photo.

??the Ninevites

Her design refers to the geometric patterns of Ndebele culture, the traditional beads and fabrics of Swati, and the innovation of her parents’ generation-they decorated their houses with homemade straw mats during apartheid in South Africa and cut their old clothes themselves. Tim Langini-Berg pointed out: "At home, design is to make full use of what you have."

Langini-Berg moved to Sweden in 2020, where she continued her textile research as a master student. She paid special attention to how the African-American art movement in the 20th century pursued its connection with Africa. She said: "I really want to know, apart from the common suffering, what binds us as a nation."

Langini-Berg is now highly sought after by the international market. Despite this, she still focuses on developing new cooperation with Africa. The Ninevites cooperated with Algerian artist Walid Bouchouchi to design two carpets for Swedish home improvement brand Svenskt Tenn. In addition, the pattern designed by Langini Berg has appeared on the cover of the novel Glory by Zimbabwean writer Nova Hollette bulawayo.

Looking back on her journey across the mainland and her creative practice, Ms. Langini-Berg said: "We need to heal ourselves. All the ideas and feelings we received when we grew up, as well as those things that we must identify with as black artists, are stained with strong colonial colors, and now we want to erase them."

The Senegalese photographer reshaped the world’s imagination of Africa through the lens.

??Cédrine Scheidig for The New York Times

Senegalese photographer Omar Victor Diop has a famous portrait selfie. In this photo, he is wearing a suit and a luxurious paisley bow tie, ready to blow a yellow plastic whistle. This well-designed photo can easily arouse people’s memories of Frederick Douglass.

Diop is good at depicting the pain and hope of black people all over the world. He integrated history and costume elements into his works, focusing on the important role of blacks and Africans in world history; Praise the lofty dignity of African immigrants and refugees; The history of black protests from Selma March to Soweto Uprising in South Africa is skillfully woven together. And explore the impact of climate change on Africa and the southern part of the world. Through bold images, Diop interweaves the past and the present, and explores how African life and overseas diaspora experience interact.

One of Diop’s series works "Project Diaspora" (above) imitates the portrait of Frederick Douglass (below). Douglas was an important abolitionist, activist, writer and speaker in the 19th century. He was a fugitive slave and the first African-American to be nominated as the vice president of the United States.

??Omar Victor Diop

Today, Diop lives and works in Dakar and Paris. He said: "Everything African-Americans do is still African, but they may not realize it themselves. I am very surprised and fascinated by this. Sometimes when you see an African-American on a reality TV show, it’s like seeing your sister or aunt-because their way of speaking is just like speaking Wolof in Dakar, only translated into English. "

Diop is keen on creating connections and building communities with his works, and is willing to bridge the experience generation gap between different generations of African-American groups through history. He believes: "There are many inspiring stories on the African continent, which can resonate strongly at home, and they can bring the same effect in other places. We must create more exchanges and interactions, and we don’t know each other well enough. "

Born in Dakar in 1980, Diop studied finance in Senegal and France, and worked in corporate communication departments in Dakar, Nairobi and Lagos for several years. He became a full-time artist more than ten years ago. He inherited the strong tradition of portrait photography in West African studios by artists such as Mama Casset (Senegal), Malick Sidibé (Mali) and Samuel Fosso (Nigeria), but he was not limited to this: whenever he started a project, Diop would read the relevant information of the subject crazily, talk to historians and even try to recreate the theme.

Diop hopes to show how the inspirational stories of black people in different centuries and continents are interrelated and influenced each other. He said: "The fashionable visual experience and symbolic language are my tools to sneak into the audience’s heart. Those eye-catching appearances can help me cover up the heaviness of the topic, and they are also a way for me to actively praise these memories."

Nidi Okolaf is good at finding creative inspiration from African heritage, history and mythology.

??Chanell Stone for The New York Times

In early 2023, Nnedi Okorafor signed a seven-figure contract for her latest novel The Africanfuturist, realizing a dream that had been brewing for 30 years. The book is scheduled to be published in 2025, which is the type of story that 49-year-old Okolaf has always wanted to try. She said that when she first started writing in the early 2000s, it was impossible to sell such stories. At that time, American publishers were at a loss about her stories, because many of them combined African folklore with science fiction, fantasy novels and magical realism. They repeatedly rejected Okolaf’s works on the grounds that they might confuse readers or fail to arouse understanding and resonance.

However, it turns out that as long as the right audience is found, Okolaf’s works will make people want to stop. Under her guidance, a new generation of African-American writers began to seek creative inspiration from their African heritage, history and mythology.

Okolaf, who lives in Phoenix, Arizona, has always regarded himself as a bridge between two cultures. She was born in Cincinnati, Ohio to Nigerian parents. Her parents insisted, "We are Americans, but we will always be Nigerians, and we want to keep this bond forever."

Mami Wata is a good and evil African mythological figure, which means "water god" or "mother of water". The picture shows Mami Wata written by Senegalese artist Zoumana Sane.

From the sci-fi fantasy novel Who Fears Death set in the end of Africa to Marvel Comics’s Panther trilogy, this fetter has always been the core of Kaulaf’s works. She has done extensive research for every book, and rooted her fantasy stories in traditional West African myths: for example, her "Akata" trilogy tells the story of a Nigerian-American albino girl with magical power, and the mermaid-like mythological characters Mami Wata, Oded, trickster Ekwensu and Nsibidi appear in the book.

As more and more publishers begin to accept the artistic and commercial value of African stories, this island, which once lost Okolaf and similar writers, has now become beautiful and lively. Okolav said: "Although my body has been separated from the African continent, I still have close ties with this land. This fetter may be unstable and difficult to grasp; And it is not so clear, but this roundabout and complicated emotion is very powerful. "

Eber’s twin sisters draw inspiration from multi-cultures.

In Adama Ebo and Adamma Ebo and Adanne Ebo’s first feature film, they aimed at the black church-specifically, the southern black church. In the vibrant cultural and spiritual expression of the church, the twin sisters unexpectedly found that this has an amazing connection with their father’s native Nigeria.

Adama said in a recent interview: "People always say, write what you know." She is the writer and director of Honk For Jesus. Save Your Soul, and her twin sister Adan is the producer of this film. Horn for Jesus, Save Your Soul, starring Sterling K. Brown K. Brown and Regina Hall. Brown plays the fallen priest of a super-large church in Atlanta, and Hull plays his pious and powerful wife. While making people laugh, this satirical mockumentary also conveys sympathy and reflection on the church community and the invisible female labor behind it.

Adama commented on Nigeria and the southern United States in this way: "There are many differences in culture between the two places, but there are also many similarities." "The church is one of them (similar culture)." She added. The Ebo sisters’ mother is American and their father is Nigerian. They grew up in Atlanta, so they were influenced by the black culture in the southern United States, and at the same time they carried the cultural background of Nigeria.

Adama and Adan fell in love with movies because of the classic animation Kiki’s Delivery Service and the film they called "the classic of African-American community". Like their mothers, they graduated from a black university with a long history in the southern United States. Although they have never been to Nigeria and can’t speak their father’s native language, Igbo, it is undeniable that they grew up in a family full of Nigerian culture. Adama said: "We grew up as African children, but in the eyes of our Nigerian compatriots, we are definitely not’ Africa’."

The Michelin chef always has French, West African and Japanese flavors on his menu.

??Felipe Romero Beltrán for The New York Times

Mory Sacko’s Michelin-starred restaurant MoSuke is located in Paris. The menu includes steamed tea bowls, Attié ?ké poisson (a classic Ivorian fish dish with fermented cassava flour), plantain with foie gras (albufera) and caviar. Although the diners are located in the 14th arrondissement of Paris, they don’t know that the perfect balance of salt, acid, fat and distinctive African elements in the mouth will soon lead them to start a wonderful taste journey-this is the characteristic of this French chef Sacco who claims to be of Malian origin and deeply loves Japanese culture. He said: "When you taste all the dishes on the menu, it’s like completing a trip."

So-the reservation for ——MoSuke restaurant has been arranged for several months. In the first year of its opening in 2020, this restaurant won the first Michelin star of French cuisine in West Africa and Central Africa. In 2021, French President Emmanuel Macron invited Sacco to cook a banquet for African leaders, and his cooking shone brilliantly in the diplomatic field. Sacco is also a frequent visitor to French TV programs: he participated in the French version of "master chef" as a contestant and also appeared in "Cuisine Ouverte" as a host.

Sacco, 32, grew up in the suburbs of Paris. He is the sixth child in his family and the first child born in France. But his snacks are still West African dishes from Mali, C? te d ‘Ivoire, Senegal, Guinea and Gabon. He said: "I was born and raised in France. I am a the French, but I also have my roots." In childhood, Sacco found another hobby of his own: Japanese comics. Soon, he discovered his favorite characters’ favorite foods, which were quite exotic to him as a teenager. Attracted by Japanese cooking techniques and traditional cooking norms, 14-year-old Sacco entered cooking school. The name of MoSuke restaurant combines Sacco’s name "Mory Mori" with the name "Yasuke Misuke", the only African-American warrior in Japanese history.

After working in major restaurants in Paris for ten years, Sacco began to think about how to present his identity with food. France has a long tradition of food, and he hopes to record the food in West Africa in the same way. He tried to recreate his mother’s Mali maafé stew, a beef dish simmered in peanut butter with peppers, tomatoes and other vegetables. Unexpectedly, it was not until he added an ingredient that obviously did not belong to Africa-miso, that this dish finally showed his own flavor. Sacco is reluctant to use the term "fusion". He said: "I tend to use more subtle expressions, such as’ communication and dialogue between different cultures’."

Loko hopes to convey through the exhibition that "creativity is not the privilege of the northern hemisphere."

Venice is an ancient city with a classical temperament, but the Architecture Biennale in 2023 invited the audience to a "future lab". This is the first time that the Venice Architecture Biennale has focused on African and black expatriates in the past 40 years. The curator of this Biennale is Lesley Lokko, a Scottish architect, scholar and novelist of Ghanaian origin. She is also the first African-American curator of the Venice Architecture Biennale.

Rocco, 61, is the founder of African Futures Institute. African Futures Institute is an architectural institution integrating teaching, research and public activities in Accra, Ghana. Rocco has taught in South Africa, Britain and the United States, and is committed to promoting western institutions to think about African, racial and cultural identities and their relationship with physical space. Rocco said that the core topic around which she planned the Venice Biennale was: What does it mean to be a meaningful change agent in the 21st century?

Loko pointed out: "At present, the mainstream narrative often ignores the perspective from the southern part of the world and regards imagination and creativity as the privilege of the northern world. However, despite the enormous challenges brought by the natural environment, Africa is still a fertile ground full of creativity. This makes Africa an important fulcrum of our research, which helps us to further explore climate, social changes, new forms of governance and many other key issues that will dominate social development in the next century. "

In 2021, only one third of the exhibitors of Venice Architecture Biennale came from outside Europe and the United States. In 2023, from South Africa and Burkina Faso to Nigeria and Rwanda, more than half of the 89 exhibitors came from Africa or were black expatriates. Rocco said that many participants in the Venice Architecture Biennale have one thing in common, that is, they have the ability to "transform"-they can adapt to different cultures and backgrounds and extend the traditional definition of architecture.

She Loko will also "transform". Her childhood was spent in Dundee, Scotland, England and Accra, Ghana: "Scotland makes me tremble with cold, while Ghana is extremely hot." After becoming an architect, she finally had the opportunity to find her own position in the cross-cultural confusion of her childhood. Now, she regards her teaching work as a happy "comfort zone". Loko is full of expectations for the continuous progress in the field of architecture, and in the future, the change will no longer be limited to a binary opposition of the West or the North. She pointed out: "Now the world needs to realize that creativity driven by demand has immeasurable value."

Ruth E. Carter introduced African futurism into mainstream fashion.

?? Gioncarlo Valentine for The New York Times

Ruth E. Ruth E. Carter said: "Fashion designers are storytellers first." Carter is 64 years old. The film Black Panther in 2018 made her the first black man to win the Oscar for Best Fashion Design. In March, 2023, she won the second Oscar again with Panther 2, becoming the first fashion designer to win both the original film and its sequel.

The Wa Kanda world in Black Panther is a fictional African kingdom that has never experienced colonization. Carter’s design draws lessons from indigenous cultures all over the African continent: before making, she collected various tribal cultural relics, including the masks of the Maridogon, the crowns of the Simba people in Namibia, the beadwork of the Masai people in Kenya and the necklaces worn by the Ndebele women in South Africa. Carter also drew inspiration from the ideas of contemporary African fashion designers such as Laduma Ngsocorro, founder of South African knitting brand MaXhosa Africa, and Ozwald Boateng, a Ghanaian-born British tailor. He also went to the African Punk Music Festival in Johannesburg to inspect street clothes and learn about the latest trends with his eyes.

Carter won the Oscar for Best Fashion Design with Black Panther (2018). Her inspiration sources include the artist Romare Bearden (middle picture), whose collage influenced her creation in Spike Lee’s films, and the African Punk Music Festival (lower picture), which contributed to her conception of "Panther" films.

Carter said: "African aesthetics, whether now or in the past, has never been single." Constantly exploring has almost become a habit of this designer. There is no doubt that she shaped the expression of black historical and cultural stories on the big screen. Carter, who lives in Los Angeles, said: "Representing culture and representing yourself (voice) has never been a burden, but a pleasure; I will also feel the pressure, but this’ pressure to do this well’ is more like a sense of mission. "

Carter was raised by his mother alone in Massachusetts, the youngest of eight children. In 1986, she moved to Los Angeles, where she met the director Spike Lee. The first film she participated in was School Daze in 1988, which was one of the many films she collaborated with Spike Lee.

Even when it is not designed for African futurism, Carter always looks for inspiration from African and black diaspora. When designing clothing styles for time films, she will refer to The Image of the Black in Western Art; Many of her works with Spike Lee refer to the works of the artist Romare Bearden; The costume modeling of Mo’ Better Blues focuses on the personal styles of jazz musicians such as Dexter Gordon, Thelonious Monk and Miles Davis.

Carter said: "It is very important for me to draw inspiration from real people or things. I dug up those tiny humanistic details and applied them to my role. " Carter’s designs not only aggregate the characteristics of black expatriates living abroad, but also promote the African futuristic style into the mainstream fashion world through the costume modeling in Black Panther and other films. Carter said: "We respect culture, and at the same time we are pushing it forward."

Nigerian musician Mr Eazi lets more people see Africa through music.

??Rasaan Wyzard for The New York Times

"Where is home?" For Nigerian musician Mr Eazi, this is not a simple question. "On the plane." When he was interviewed by video in new york, he made a joke and then said with awe, "I think the place where my family is is home, so my home is sometimes in Accra, sometimes in London, Cotonou, Lagos and Dubai."

Mr Eazi, whose original name is Oluwatosin Oluwole Ajibade, is 32 years old and was born in Port Harcourt, Nigeria, but his life and career are closely related to the world outside his motherland. Mr Eazi entered the recording studio for the first time when he was in college, and his stage name "Mr Eazi" came from this. It is said that he would stop fighting in the recording studio: "Relax, don’t be nervous."

In 2016, he was invited by rapper Lauryn Hill to perform in Brooklyn. He also sang the soundtrack of The Lion King in 2019, and worked with Colombian singer J Balvin, Puerto Rican rapper Bad Bunny, Jamaican musicians Popcaan, Nicki Minaj and Diplo. In the middle and late 2010s, Mr Eazi became popular with catchy African Afrobeats such as "Skin Tight" and "Legover".

Next: Mr Eazi commissioned the artist Sesse Elangwe to create the work "The Way I See It" for the single "Chop Time, No Friend".

??Sesse Elangwe/Choplife

He called his early works "Banku", which is a type of music that combines Ghanaian upper-class music and Nigerian chords. His initial success was when Nigerian musicians such as WizKid entered the western audience’s field of vision, which was partly due to social media and the recommendation of international musicians and black expatriates. Lawrence Burney wrote an article for Vice in 2016: "Many of the hottest African beat musicians use cheerful sound rhythms, and Mr Eazi gives dance music a lyrical quality with his low humming."

The African community in Britain is crucial to the early success of Mr Eazi. Mr Eazi said: "After I left Ghana, the first place to accept my music was England." Young black students were the first audience attracted by his music. He said: "These students defined’ cool’ in their minds and embraced their African identity. This is the cornerstone of the development of African diaspora music. "

How good is the water quality of the Yangtze River now? People’s Daily takes you to ask the finless porpoise.

"Over the years, the province’s ecological environment system has thoroughly implemented the supreme leader’s ecological civilization thought, coordinated the promotion of high-quality economic development and high-level protection of the ecological environment, and coordinated the three articles of pollution control, greening and blank space. The province’s ecological environment has achieved a historic change from serious overdraft to obvious improvement." On September 13th, the Jiangsu Provincial Ecological Environment Protection Conference was held in Nanjing, and the beautiful Jiangsu construction was fully deployed, said Yin Rongyao, deputy director of the Jiangsu Provincial Department of Ecological Environment.

Living in Jiangsu, we can feel more personally that the quality of ecological environment in Jiangsu is constantly improving in the new decade, and people and nature are living in harmony here-now, blue sky and white clouds have become the norm, green water and green mountains are within reach, and the water quality in Jiangsu section of the main stream of the Yangtze River has remained stable at Grade II all the year round, and we can often see the "smiling angel" Yangtze finless porpoise playing in Jiangsu section of the Yangtze River.

Jiang Meng, secretary-general of the Nanjing finless porpoise aquatic biological protection association, said that Nanjing is the only city in China where wild finless porpoises live stably in the downtown section. Last year’s background resources survey of Nanjing Yangtze finless porpoise provincial nature reserve showed that the number of living finless porpoises in Nanjing section of the Yangtze River has now reached 62, accounting for 10.4% of the total number of finless porpoises in the main stream of the Yangtze River, which is one of the highest distribution densities of finless porpoises in the whole main stream of the Yangtze River, and the number has increased by 24% compared with five years ago.

The Yangtze finless porpoise is an indicator species of the Yangtze River ecosystem. In the past, due to the intensification of human activities, the ecological environment of the Yangtze River basin was once seriously damaged, and the Yangtze finless porpoise population was also endangered. The increasing number of Yangtze finless porpoises reflects the change of ecological environment in the Yangtze River. In recent years, remarkable achievements have been made in the improvement of the ecological environment in the Yangtze River Basin in Nanjing, and beautiful transcripts have been handed over: in 2022, the water quality of 28 tributaries entering the river all reached the standard, of which 18 tributaries entering the river mainly reached Grade III and above, and the excellent proportion of water quality in 42 national and provincial examination sections in the city was 100%, ranking first in Jiangsu Province.

In terms of "pollution control", Nanjing has implemented the "4+1" project of ecological environment pollution control: urban sewage and garbage treatment, chemical pollution control, agricultural non-point source pollution control, ship pollution control and tailings pond pollution control projects; In terms of "bank management", Nanjing requires all units along the Yangtze River to "not let a drop of sewage enter the Yangtze River". Since 2016, the cumulative production coastline of the Yangtze River has been cleared by 37.6 kilometers, and the proportion of ecological coastline has increased from 66.2% to 80.3%; In terms of "fishing management", Nanjing resolutely implemented the major task of "10-year fishing ban" on the Yangtze River and strictly implemented the 10-year fishing ban policy in the "one river, two lakes and three rivers" area. At present, all 219 fishing boats in the Nanjing section of the Yangtze River and the aquatic life reserve have been withdrawn, and all 1,366 fishing boats and 2,675 fishermen in the Yangtze River basin have been withdrawn from the shore, achieving 100% of the four aspects of "fishing boat withdrawal, fishermen withdrawal, social security resettlement and employment resettlement".

It is worth mentioning that in terms of biodiversity protection, Nanjing focuses on the systematicness and integrity of the ecological elements in the Nanjing section of the Yangtze River, and makes "addition" in ecological capacity, ecological function and biodiversity to continuously improve the ecological environment and ecological function of the Yangtze River. Since 2016, more than 3,000 mu of wetlands have been restored every year, totaling more than 20,000 mu. Four provincial wetland parks, including Chishan Lake, Dongping Lake, Longpao Lake and Shijiu Lake, have been built successively, and the natural wetland protection rate has exceeded 70%. Since 2021, Nanjing has launched a city-wide biodiversity "touching the bottom" campaign. Up to now, a total of 2,995 species have been investigated and recorded, including 84 species of wildlife under state protection in Nanjing. In 2022, the number of fish species in the Nanjing section of the Yangtze River increased by 6 species compared with the previous year, and the resource abundance increased by nearly 50%-the "circle of friends" of the Yangtze finless porpoise is constantly expanding.

Nanjing Yangtze finless porpoise provincial nature reserve starts from Xinjizhou in Jiangning District in the west and reaches Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge in the east, with a total area of 86.92 square kilometers. In recent years, the protected area has further built and improved the three-dimensional protection monitoring system of "underwater and shoreline", which has greatly increased our chances of seeing the Yangtze finless porpoise.

Heilongjiang: The farmer’s market shopping "scan code, take temperature, wear a mask" and leave immediately.

Cctv news(Reporter Li Wenxue) The farmer’s market is a place where people and goods flow are relatively concentrated. How can we achieve accurate prevention and control under the situation of normalization of epidemic prevention and control? At the press conference held by the Information Office of Heilongjiang Provincial Government on the evening of July 4, Heilongjiang Provincial Market Supervision Administration introduced the corresponding specific measures.

Yang Rumin, deputy director of the Provincial Market Supervision Administration, said that it is necessary to strengthen the main responsibility of farmers’ market promoters for epidemic prevention and control, and urge farmers’ markets to implement the requirements of "five haves", namely, having a sound prevention and control guide, a prevention and control management system and responsible persons, an appropriate reserve of protective materials, an emergency response plan, guidance and support from local medical and health forces, urging farmers’ markets to implement disinfection and cleaning measures, doing emergency response drills, and improving their epidemic prevention and control capabilities.

For those who enter the market, we should continue to implement anti-aggregation measures such as "scanning code, measuring temperature and wearing masks", control the flow of people in the market, and remind customers to keep a distance from others when shopping, and leave immediately after shopping. Supervise the farmer’s market to implement the management system for employees in high-risk posts, fix posts, avoid cross-operation, and implement prevention and control measures such as closed-loop management, nucleic acid detection, health monitoring and health education.

According to the unified arrangement of the local headquarters, the nucleic acid detection is carried out for the operators, staff and other people in the market. Appropriate sampling inspection and preventive disinfection shall be carried out for imported cold-chain foods and the environment of their processing, transportation, storage and sales places, as well as non-cold-chain items from countries with severe epidemic situation. Through the "first stop coding, one yard to the end, no code ban", the imported cold chain food can be traced, traced and the risk can be controlled. It is strictly forbidden to sell and use imported cold chain food without inspection and quarantine certificate of entry products, nucleic acid test report, preventive disinfection certificate and traceability code.

Market supervision departments at all levels should carry out full coverage of supervision and inspection of the farmer’s market, do a good job in the emergency conversion of epidemic prevention and control in the farmer’s market, improve the emergency response mechanism, and remind consumers to scan the traceability code of "Heilongjiang cold chain" when purchasing imported cold chain foods, and inquire about product information, nucleic acid detection and disinfection information to enhance their self-protection ability.

Guangzhou implements the supervision of controlling dust at the source: on-line measuring dust to protect Guangzhou Blue

  A waste gas treatment tower was installed on the roof of the production workshop of Panyu Yuanmai Jewelry Co., Ltd., located in Daluotang Jewelry Zone, Panyu.

  Keep the original heart, take the mission, find the gap and implement it

  Carry out in-depth education on the theme of "Do not forget your initiative mind, Remember Mission"

  There are more than 2,400 construction sites in Guangzhou, and dust from construction sites is one of the important causes of atmospheric particulate pollution, and it may be difficult to control dust pollution repeatedly. How to supervise it effectively for a long time is a difficult problem. At the same time, the general survey of pollution sources in Guangzhou has entered the stage of data summary and audit, which involves a wide range and a large amount of data. How to ensure the accuracy of the data is very important.

  Therefore, in combination with the theme education of "Do not forget your initiative mind, keep in mind the mission", the Guangzhou Municipal Bureau of Ecology and Environment runs through the whole process of the theme education, implementing source control, standardizing the management of construction sites, implementing the pollution source survey, finding out what the problem is and where the crux lies, sticking to the word "reform" throughout, persisting in the establishment of reform, and resolutely fighting the tough battles of pollution prevention and pollution source survey.

  Inspection and supervision: set up full-time environmental protection personnel to supervise the construction site.

  The second phase of hengli town Resettlement Area in Nansha District is under intense construction. But different from people’s impression of dusty and disorderly, the construction site here is orderly: all the undeveloped land is covered with green dust-proof nets, and some land is afforested; Sprinklers are sprinkling water to reduce dust, and a 360-degree rotating spray head can be seen every 2.5 meters on the fence; The PM2.5 displayed on the screen of the 24-hour on-line dust detection system is about 25 μ g/m3. "Sprinklers will spray water regularly every two hours. spray head is basically open from 8 am to 6 pm, and fog cannons will also spray dust. In addition, the construction site is also equipped with 12 cleaning workers to clean the construction site and import and export roads. " The relevant person in charge of the project introduced.

  In addition to consciously equipping the construction site with dust suppression facilities and implementing dust suppression measures, Jiezhen also has full-time environmentalists who use Guangzhou Dust APP to supervise the construction site. Liu Chunke, a full-time environmental protection worker in hengli town, told reporters that the dust on the construction site is inspected every week, including whether the engineering information is perfect, whether the transport vehicle is cleaned and whether the residual mud is covered. During the inspection, it is found that the land is not covered with green nets, the land that has not been constructed for a long time is not afforested, the construction road is not hard-bottomed, and the vehicles are not cleaned.

  "In the process of routine inspection of the second phase project of hengli town resettlement area, it was found that there were problems of road dust emission and some exposed residual mud not covered." Liu Chunke said that he would take photos immediately after discovering the dust problem, and enter the problem into the Guangzhou Dust Supervision APP, and feed it back to the Nansha District Quality Supervision Station, the supervision unit of the construction site, and at the same time issue the Notice Letter on the Prevention and Control of Dust Pollution on the Construction Site to urge the construction unit to carry out rectification. After receiving the rectification notice, the construction unit immediately carried out rectification measures, arranged sprinklers to spray water immediately, and covered the exposed residual mud. "Now the awareness of dust pollution prevention and control in construction sites has also increased. Last year, the green net covering the land was in short supply, and the price has increased!"

  On-line monitoring: the air quality was optimized obviously from January to July.

  Dust is the main source of PM10 and PM2.5 in Guangzhou. In recent years, Guangzhou has vigorously promoted dust pollution control in construction sites, refined the "six hundred percent" requirements for dust pollution control, produced an atlas of guidance for green construction enclosure of construction projects, held on-site meetings, organized publicity training, promoted the installation of dust online monitoring equipment, strengthened law enforcement inspection, and increased notification and punishment. In view of the problem that dust pollution control in construction sites is easy to repeat and difficult to adhere to, since 2019, the regulatory authorities such as housing and construction have stepped up supervision, inspecting about 100 construction sites every day, urging the implementation of the "six hundred percent" requirements for dust pollution control, and at the same time using drones. Conduct inspections. Up to now, a total of 1080 online dust monitoring devices have been installed and networked.

  In addition, in 2018, the municipal ecological and environmental department developed and launched the Dust Supervision APP, organized town and street environmental protection personnel to inspect the construction site, and reported the problems to the regulatory authorities in real time for follow-up. The users of the APP include the Municipal Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau, the Transportation Bureau, the Water Affairs Bureau, the Urban Management Comprehensive Law Enforcement Bureau, the Ecological Environment Bureau, the Forestry and Landscape Bureau, the Planning and Natural Resources Bureau, the Guangzhou Port Authority and the quality and safety supervision stations of various construction projects.

  More than 2,400 construction sites in the city, regardless of the size, are all included in the Dust Supervision APP, which can be used to view and count the basic situation of construction projects. The supervision and inspection personnel of the ecological and environmental departments input the inspection and spot check information of the construction sites, and feed back the inspection and spot check information to the supervision units such as housing construction, water supply and transportation, and then the supervision units organize rectification and fill in the handling information, so as to implement the requirements of "establishing banks and reforming them" and form a multi-sectoral supervision mechanism for dust in Guangzhou. Since the beginning of this year, the city’s law enforcement officers have inspected 28,987 construction sites and 2,389 construction sites, and found that 1,304 "six hundred percent" problems have not been implemented, and all the problems found have been followed up and rectified.

  The control effect of dust is also intuitively reflected in the air. From January to July 2019, the comprehensive index of ambient air in Guangzhou decreased by 13.4% year-on-year, and the air quality improved; The air quality reached the standard for 193 days, an increase of 25 days. Among them, the average concentration of PM2.5 was 28 μ g/m3, down 22.2% year-on-year; The average concentration of PM10 was 47 μ g/m3, down 14.5% year-on-year.

  General survey of pollution sources: If you have any questions about filling in the form, you can ask the census taker.

  The once-in-a-decade national pollution source survey has now entered the stage of data summary and audit, which is a major national survey, involving a wide range and a large amount of data. How to ensure the accuracy of the data is very important.

  Guangzhou Panyu Yuanmai Jewelry Co., Ltd., located in Daluotang Jewelry Zone, Panyu, is a leading jewelry processing enterprise in Panyu District, mainly engaged in the processing of gold and silver jewelry and jewelry inlays. The relevant person in charge of the enterprise took out a checklist of dozens of pages and told the reporter: "Because there are differences in production technology and pollution control links, it is really unclear which links need to be filled in when filling out the form, how to fill them out, and some problems involving data unit conversion are also complicated. Fortunately, there are census takers and census instructors to help us fill out the form. "

  According to the relevant person in charge of the Municipal Bureau of Ecology and Environment, the general survey of pollution sources is not as simple as expected. Sometimes a company has to visit several times. "For example, it is found that the company is closed at the scene, but it is uncertain whether the company is temporarily closed or seasonally closed. It takes a few more walks to be sure. " In addition, the general survey of pollution sources involves not only communication, but also technical problems in the form filling. Take shoemaking as an example, one of the two processes needs to be selected, that is, drawing wires and gluing. When filling in the form, some enterprises may mistake the gluing in the drawing wire process for the gluing process, resulting in wrong selection or multiple selection. Because the emission of pollutants is estimated by coefficient method, different processes correspond to different coefficients. If the previous process is not filled in correctly, the results estimated by coefficient method will be quite different. "In view of these situations, not only enumerators guide enterprises to fill in the forms, but also census instructors will further review the data. In addition, we will compare the data with the existing data to ensure the accuracy of the final data."

  Pollution data: a map of pollution sources in the city will be drawn.

  The national pollution source survey is a major national survey conducted by the State Council in accordance with the Regulations on the National Pollution Source Survey, which is conducted once every ten years. From 2007 to 2010, the first national pollution source survey was carried out, and this is the second national pollution source survey. The census time is arranged from 2017 to 2019, which is mainly divided into four stages: preliminary preparation, inventory building, household survey and summary release.

  The relevant person in charge of the Municipal Bureau of Ecology and Environment said that in 2017, Guangzhou started the preparatory work for the general survey of pollution sources, and successfully completed the household survey task in 2018. At present, it has entered the stage of data summary review. After completing the data filling and entry system, Guangzhou was organized to carry out data auditing, on-site verification and data summary auditing in the household survey stage, and seriously carried out rectification and implementation according to the list of questions fed back by the national and provincial census offices.

  In the stage of household survey, Guangzhou organized and carried out the work of reporting and auditing by enterprises, on-site auditing by census takers, on-site rechecking by census instructors, and conducted two rounds of data auditing for key information census forms, feedback from experts and auditing of census systems, to check input data and recheck spatial information.

  Since January this year, two rounds of quality verification have been carried out, and industrial sources, large-scale livestock and poultry farms, centralized pollution control facilities, sewage outlets into rivers (seas), non-industrial source boilers, mobile sources, administrative villages and parks in 44 towns in 11 districts have been selected for on-site verification, and one census community in each district has been selected for pull-net verification.

  After the census and accounting work, Guangzhou immediately transferred to the data summary and audit work. In June, the Municipal Census Office issued the Operational Guidelines for the Data Auditing of the Second National Pollution Source Census in Guangzhou, sent technical teams to all districts to guide the data summarization and auditing, and organized four rounds of data summarization and auditing successively.

  From July to August, Guangzhou received a total of 16 issues of the list of suspected problems summarized and reviewed by the national and provincial census offices. The municipal census office immediately organized all districts to carry out verification work, seriously rectified the problem data, completed the systematic problem verification and rectification on time, and made notes on the verified problems one by one. In the next step, Guangzhou will continue to organize data summary and audit according to the requirements of the national and provincial census offices, so as to further improve the quality of census data and ensure compliance with relevant national requirements.

  "The national pollution source survey is a major national survey once every ten years, and it is the basic work of environmental protection. It is of great significance for accurately judging the current environmental situation, formulating and implementing targeted policies and plans for economic and social development and environmental protection, and improving environmental quality." According to the relevant person in charge of the Municipal Bureau of Ecology and Environment, in the era of big data, the data of pollution source census is also used to make pollution source maps, and relevant management systems are developed, so as to accurately monitor the pollution sources in the city. "The map can show the distribution and types of enterprises in 11 districts of the city, and a management system is developed through the data of pollution source census, so as to accurately monitor the pollution sources in the city."

  Guangzhou strengthens dust control supervision

  Innovative supervision means

  More than 2,400 construction sites in the city, regardless of the size, are all included in the dust supervision APP, which can be used to view and count the basic situation of construction projects;

  Up to now, a total of 1080 online dust monitoring devices have been installed and networked in the city.

  Carry out inspection and law enforcement

  Since the beginning of this year, the city’s law enforcement officers have inspected 28,987 construction sites and 2,389 construction sites, and found that 1,304 "six hundred percent" problems have not been implemented, and all the problems found have been followed up and rectified.

  Optimize air quality

  From January to July 2019, the comprehensive index of ambient air in Guangzhou decreased by 13.4% year-on-year, and the air quality improved; The air quality reached the standard for 193 days, an increase of 25 days.

  There is less dust at home, so I can sleep well at night.

  My home is opposite the construction site. In the past, the dust generated by the construction site, as well as the noise of vehicles entering and leaving, piling and so on, will have some impact on daily life. But now the construction site will sprinkle water regularly, and basically no dust will be felt at home, and the construction site will stop working at 9: 30 every night, so it is more stable to sleep at night.

  Yuan Jianhui, a construction worker of Nansha hengli town Resettlement Area Phase II Project.

  The workers all feel that the working environment is better.

  Construction workers’ daily work, eating and rest are all on the construction site. Now there are not only sprinklers, spray head, fog guns and other dust suppression equipment on the construction site, but also cleaners to clean and control the dust well. The construction workers here feel that the working environment has improved, and the sprinkler operation can also play a certain role in cooling down!

  Only when the data is accurate can we do a good job of governance.

  The accuracy of the basic data of pollution source census is very important, and about 500 enterprises have been visited since they entered the household last year. In the filling of the census form, a data unit and a decimal point need to be treated strictly. Only by ensuring the accuracy of the data can we truly reflect the production and discharge of pollution sources in enterprises, so as to supervise and control pollution in enterprises more pertinently.

  It is even more essential to have a sense of responsibility and innovative thinking

  In recent years, the air quality in Guangzhou is getting better and better. In the circle of friends, "Guangzhou Blue" often dominates the screen; In the streets and lanes, wherever you go, you bring your own "blue sky and white clouds" background. For two consecutive years, the concentration of PM2.5 has reached the standard, and such an eye-catching achievement cannot be separated from the strong promotion of dust control.

  Construction site dust is one of the important causes of atmospheric particulate pollution, and there are problems that are easy to repeat and difficult to persist. For Guangzhou, the tight construction period and large number of projects under construction also make it more difficult to control dust pollution. However, there are always more ways than difficulties, and the key depends on whether the understanding is in place and whether the action is firm. This means that on the one hand, it is necessary to raise awareness, further enhance supervision consciousness, put the control of dust pollution in a prominent position, and achieve results. On the other hand, we should also innovate methods, make full use of new technologies and means, optimize processes and improve efficiency. For example, launch the dust supervision APP, organize town and street environmentalists to inspect the construction site, and report problems to the regulatory authorities in real time for follow-up; Promote the installation of dust online monitoring equipment and strengthen law enforcement inspection; Using drones to carry out inspections and improve supervision efficiency & HELIP; …

  Driven by a series of measures, the effect of dust supervision is "immediate". From January to July this year, Guangzhou’s air quality reached the standard for 193 days, an increase of 25 days year-on-year, and the concentration of atmospheric particulate matter related to dust showed a downward trend. The feelings of citizens are also intuitive. Many people say that the dust generated by the previous construction site, as well as the noise of vehicles entering and leaving, piling and so on, are annoying. At present, the construction site will be watered regularly, and the work will be finished on time when it arrives. The faster the building is built, the less and less impact it will have on life. It is understood that under the supervision of the regulatory authorities, many construction sites are equipped with sprinklers, spray head, fog guns and other dust suppression equipment. For managing dust pollution, everyone’s initiative and consciousness are constantly improving.

  In the final analysis, it is necessary to turn knowledge into action and goals into reality. It can be seen from the dust control that how to do a good job and achieve results requires a sense of responsibility and innovative thinking.

Global chip event! Big changes are coming? It is said that Qualcomm intends to acquire Intel.

  Global chip event!

  According to the latest news, Cristiano Amon, CEO of Qualcomm, personally participated in the negotiation of acquiring Intel and studied various options for the transaction. A person familiar with the matter warned that the uncertainty of this acquisition transaction is so great that even if Intel is willing to accept it, such a large-scale transaction will almost certainly be subject to antitrust review.

  Analysts pointed out that if Qualcomm’s acquisition of Intel is finally successful, it will become one of the largest technology mergers and acquisitions in history, and Intel’s total market value is as high as 93.388 billion US dollars (about 660 billion yuan), which may lead to a major change in the competitive landscape of the global PC chip market.

  At present, Intel is standing at the crossroads of life and death. Due to the thunder of performance, Intel’s share price has fallen by 56% during the year. At the same time, Intel is actively planning a plan to "save itself", which includes layoffs, divesting its chip foundry department, splitting product design and manufacturing business, and reducing factory investment projects.

  Heavy chip

  According to the Wall Street Journal, citing people familiar with the matter, Qualcomm recently approached Intel about the acquisition. Stimulated by this news, Intel’s share price soared by over 9% in intraday trading on Friday, and Qualcomm’s share price plummeted by over 5%. At the close, Intel rose by 3.31% and Qualcomm fell by 2.87%.

  According to the latest news from Reuters, Cristiano Amon, CEO of Qualcomm, personally participated in the negotiations to acquire Intel and studied various options for the transaction. However, the negotiations between Qualcomm and Intel are still in the early stage, and Qualcomm has not yet made a formal offer for Intel.

  Representatives of Intel and Qualcomm declined to comment on the acquisition rumors.

  People familiar with the matter warned that the negotiations were held in recent days, and the uncertainty of this acquisition transaction is very large at present. Even if Intel is willing to accept it, such a large-scale transaction will almost certainly be subject to antitrust review. But the deal may also be seen as an opportunity to enhance the competitive advantage of the United States in the chip field. In order to conclude the transaction, Qualcomm may intend to sell Intel’s assets or part of its business to other buyers.

  Analysts pointed out that if Qualcomm’s acquisition of Intel is finally successful, it will become one of the biggest technology mergers and acquisitions in history. At present, Intel’s total market value is 93.388 billion US dollars (about 660 billion yuan), compared with Microsoft’s previous acquisition of Activision Blizzard, which cost about 69 billion US dollars.

  It should be pointed out that Qualcomm’s core business is mainly smart phone chips, which firmly controls the market share of high-end mobile phone chips. In the second quarter of 2024, Qualcomm’s chip shipments accounted for 31%, but in recent years, it has been attacking the PC market.

  Qualcomm recently announced that its Snapdragon X Plus 8-core processor adopts ARM architecture, saying that the processor is designed for PCs with a price as low as $700, and it has excellent performance in energy efficiency and battery life. Qualcomm has also established an exclusive partnership with Microsoft, and Copilot+ PC is equipped with Qualcomm X series chips.

  Analysts believe that the rise of Qualcomm may mark a major change in the market structure of PC chips, and innovation focusing on artificial intelligence PCs will be more competitive. If Qualcomm succeeds in acquiring Intel, it may lead to a major change in the competitive landscape of the global PC chip market.

  But at present, it is still very difficult for Qualcomm to acquire Intel. The two main difficulties are:

  First, it is difficult for Qualcomm’s book funds to acquire Intel for the time being. Qualcomm’s financial report shows that as of June 23, 2024, Qualcomm’s cash and cash equivalents were only US$ 7.77 billion and securities were US$ 5.26 billion. This means that Qualcomm’s short-term available self-owned funds totaled $13.03 billion. Analysts said that if the merger is opened, Qualcomm’s cash and securities are far from enough to acquire Intel, unless other ways such as equity swap and institutional borrowing are adopted.

  Second, the businesses of Qualcomm and Intel are spread all over the world’s major markets such as the United States, Europe and China. Once such a large-scale acquisition is started, it needs to be reviewed and approved by the anti-monopoly regulatory authorities of various countries. Anti-monopoly review often lasts for more than half a year, and mergers and acquisitions may fail if the regulatory authorities of any country or region veto it. In recent years, Broadcom’s offer to Qualcomm and NVIDIA’s offer to ARM were both cancelled under the pressure of national security and anti-monopoly.

  Guo Ming Tan, a well-known analyst at Tianfeng International, said that the acquisition of Intel will only help Qualcomm’s AI PC chip business. However, from Microsoft’s commitment to WoA (its latest Surface models all adopt Qualcomm processor /ARM architecture), it is only a matter of time before Qualcomm grows up in the PC market. This merger will exert great financial pressure on Qualcomm, and it will have an immediate negative impact on profitability. The net interest rate may drop from the current 20%+ to single digits or even lose money (wafer foundry business is the biggest burden). In addition, considering the anti-monopoly investigations in various countries, it is difficult to complete this merger in a short time. So, if this merger happens, it will be a disaster for Qualcomm.

  Intel’s moment of life and death

  On the other hand, Intel, which is deeply mired in the biggest crisis since its establishment, is standing at the crossroads of life and death.

  Intel used to be the world’s largest chip manufacturer, but its business situation has gone from bad to worse in recent years, and it showed an accelerated decline in 2024. In August this year, it released a financial report that disappointed the market, which was called "the worst earnings report ever" by analysts. This directly led to the biggest one-day decline in the company’s share price in more than 50 years. Up to now, the cumulative decline during the year has reached 56%.

  At the same time, Intel also announced that it will lay off about 15,000 people, accounting for more than 15% of the company’s total employees, and suspend dividends from the fourth quarter of this year, which is the first time since 1992.

  At present, Intel is actively planning a plan to "save itself", which includes splitting its product design and manufacturing business and cutting down factory investment projects. Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs are long-term partners of Intel, and they are providing them with all-round strategic advice, including potential mergers and acquisitions.

  Recently, Pat Gelsinger, CEO of Intel, outlined the planned cost-cutting measures in a memo to employees. These measures mainly include: Intel will suspend factory projects in Germany and Poland; Consider withdrawing its chip packaging and testing business in Malaysia; Streamline and simplify the x86 product portfolio; By the end of this year, two-thirds of the global offices will be reduced or withdrawn.

  Intel previously promised to spend $36 billion to build a chip factory in Germany, $4.6 billion to build a chip factory in Poland and $7 billion to build a factory in Malaysia.

  As a core component of Intel’s cost-cutting measures, Intel plans to split its chip foundry department into an independent subsidiary and add an operating board. Gelsinger said that after the business is independent, it can evaluate independent sources of funds and introduce external financing.

  According to the forecast data released by Intel, after the spin-off of wafer manufacturing business, the cost will be saved by $3 billion in 2023 and $8 billion to $10 billion in 2025.

  According to Gelsinger, this is the most important transformation of Intel in more than 40 years, and he hopes to use this opportunity to build a stronger Intel in the coming decades.

  Intel will release two products, Lunar Lake and Panther Lake, and the market is waiting to see if this will be Intel’s last chance.
