In the summer of 2023, affected by typhoon Du Surui, Beijing and Hebei suffered extremely heavy rainfall. The library of People’s Daily Publishing House, located in Gu ‘an County, Langfang City, Hebei Province, is also facing severe flood in the storm and flood. "The Meteorological Observatory issued rainstorm warnings many times, and all the residents on the first floor of Gu ‘an were evacuated from their homes. The Baigou River, 4 kilometers away from the warehouse, burst its banks, and the Yongding River Bridge in the north closed the road, and the citizens drove south …" Speaking of the danger on August 1, Liu Linsheng, the person in charge of the warehouse, still had a lingering fear.
Workers’ families go into battle together
Love warms people’s hearts.
On September 18th, Liu Huaxin, President of People’s Daily Publishing House, Ding Ding, Editor-in-Chief, Zhao Jun, Vice President and Ouyang Hui and their party went to Hebei to inspect the situation in the warehouse, to express their gratitude and condolences to the workers who have been fighting in the front line of flood fighting, disaster relief and post-disaster recovery and reconstruction since the flood season, and to award banners, bonuses and honorary certificates, and to send blessings for the Mid-Autumn Festival in advance.
Entering the book warehouse of People’s Daily Publishing House, I saw a well-laid Spatial Distribution Map of Safety Risk Classification Management and Control posted at the door. The two warehouses in the north and south occupied a total area of 7,200 square meters, and the ground was marked with red numbers and yellow lines. The planning of various channels was clear, the wooden bookshelves were solid and solid, and the books with a total value of more than 200 million yuan were arranged in a classified way and placed neatly.
A series of information about safety exits, evacuation signs, emergency lighting, fire-fighting equipment, key electricity consumption, etc. are recorded on the patrol record form of safety hazards publicized in the South Warehouse every day.
Signs and banners with red letters on white background such as "Fire prevention, waterproof and accident prevention", "Key fire prevention parts", "No illegal operation to ensure safe production", "Everyone is responsible for safe production" and "Safety development and prevention first" are hung in eye-catching positions. Relevant rules and regulations such as Warehouse Fire Safety System, Safe Working Environment, Sanitary Environment, Labor Discipline and Ideological Work are obvious to people. "During the disaster prevention period, social leaders urgently purchased 400 bags of sand for us, and also supplemented emergency rescue materials such as life jackets and swimming rings." Liu Linsheng added.
In September, Gu ‘an was sunny and sunny, and the warehouse yard was covered with lush vegetation. All employees wore neat and clean work clothes and arranged neatly to receive commendation, which was in stark contrast to the scene on the night of flood fighting and rescue.
"The video of your flood prevention book has gained a lot of praise and encouragement on the Internet. The comrades in the warehouse braved the heavy rain and stepped on slippers, and even some people wore pajamas to fight for flood control and rescue … The leaders and colleagues in Beijing were very moved." Liu Huaxin read a thank-you letter and reviewed the situation on the night of the flood. He repeatedly stressed that it is important to rescue the book and protect yourself. In the face of the rare flood in history, the comrades in the warehouse United as one and responded scientifically, ensuring personal safety, and all the books worth hundreds of millions of yuan were intact, avoiding heavy losses of state property. The flood control work was highly affirmed by the leaders of the People’s Daily.
At 10: 00 a.m. on August 1, Hebei Hydrological Survey and Research Center issued a yellow warning for flood, and the water level of Gu ‘an Hydrological Station in Yongding River reached 30.75 meters, exceeding the yellow warning standard for flood. In Beijing, across the Yongding River, all the staff of People’s Daily Publishing House are also hung with a heart. The leading group paid close attention to and judged the flood situation in Gu ‘an and its neighboring areas. Zhao Jun, vice president, urgently deployed personnel and vehicles to prepare relief supplies.
Public opinion is an order, and responsibility is more important than Mount Tai. Liu Linsheng, the person in charge of the warehouse, is on duty all day, closely monitoring the flood situation through the network platform and reporting to the leaders at any time. "There are villagers on the other side of Baigou River who broadcast live spontaneously. Excavators drive directly to the levee. Many netizens say that they want to flood, and they feel that the situation is very tense. I still focus on the official announcement, and the leaders of the Propaganda Department of Gu ‘an County Committee also called to communicate the situation. Local workers say that they have never seen such a big rain since they were born! "
At 10: 30 p.m. on August 1, Liu Linsheng received the news that the Baigou River had burst its banks, and urgently informed all employees to return to their posts for standby. There was serious water accumulation in the urban area, so he drove in the rain to pick up his oldest colleague Sun Liguo, and Sun Xiangdi, Chen Qiqi, Jiao Yanjing, Cheng Dongmei and other female employees were accompanied by their families to return to their posts. "Here, I would like to express my special thanks to GeQingJun, the lover of Chen Qiqi, the employee’s family who fought alongside us. Many lesbians’ families asked to stay together to fight floods that night. If there are children and elderly people who need care and escort at home, I will resolutely let them go home, and I will take them away. "
Thirteen employees and their families returned to their posts. Liu Linsheng made a specific division of labor for everyone, paid close attention to the implementation of flood control measures and water drainage in the warehouse park, strengthened flood control materials and manpower preparation at multiple entrances of the warehouse, added sandbags overnight, and carried out drainage operations. It was tense and orderly, and it was busy but not chaotic.
The rainstorm was like a note, lightning and thunder, and all the staff worked hand in hand until 3 am on August 2, when they received the news of the repair of Baigou River dam, and they were barely relieved. Liu Linsheng arranged for the workers and their families to go home to rest and stick to their posts alone until 9 am the next day. "I am the head of the warehouse and officially became a Communist party member this spring, which is all I should do."
Liu Linsheng, 39, has been engaged in warehouse management and joined People’s Daily Publishing House 10 years ago. Four years ago, the warehouse moved from Daxing, Beijing to Gu ‘an, Hebei Province, and he also settled in Gu ‘an. After 10 years of hard work, Liu Linsheng witnessed the expansion of the book warehouse of People’s Daily Publishing House from the initial 1,000 square meters to 7,200 square meters, with increasing business, expanding sales channels and improving working environment. "Many publishers and book companies have warehouses in the village. In low-lying areas, we have settled in a formal factory park with 24-hour security and all-round electronic monitoring. The landlord is also very good and has given us a lot of help. " In the eyes of local workers, many publishing houses and book companies choose to settle in Hebei, which not only creates a lot of employment opportunities for local residents, but also creates an atmosphere full of books.
Old books are passed on to memory of time
Deeply cultivate the industry and uphold love.
Gu ‘an’s flood was near misses. Zhuozhou, 30 kilometers away, as a major warehouse around Beijing, gathered warehouses of hundreds of publishing houses and book companies. Because it is located in a low-lying area, it was seriously affected. Seeing the video of the disaster spread on the Internet, many book warehouses were looted by floods, books were soaked in water, and colleagues in the publishing industry stuck to their posts and struggled to save themselves. Liu Linsheng and his colleagues also felt distressed. "We keep the warehouse, and our academic qualifications are not high, but they are all people who love books. They have been in business for many years and have feelings for this industry. The first time I encountered such a natural disaster, I hope everyone can survive. "
In the office of North Warehouse, there are books such as Diplomatic Secret Files of China and War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression Period, Seven Years of Educated Youth of the Supreme Leader, My Father Jiao Yulu and Monument to the Desert on the bookshelf two meters high at the entrance. Some of them are old books left in the warehouse, some are books donated by peers, and some are books specially purchased by Liu Linsheng for colleagues. "This office has a good environment, complete tables and chairs, bright light and air conditioning. Comrades like to keep company with books, so we will build a reading corner here. " He said that people’s biographies are the main favorite of warehouse colleagues, followed by war stories and red stories.
Since its establishment more than 60 years ago, People’s Daily Publishing House has covered many fields, such as party and government, news, history, culture, philosophy, economy, society, etc. It has persisted in publishing books on governing the country, books on cultural heritage and books on readers’ pillows, and edited and published a large number of excellent works. Walking through the mountains of books, the old books published before, such as History No Longer Wanders, No Forgiveness-Lu Xun and His Opponents, Ups and Downs-Memorandum of China’s Economic Reform (1989-1997), The True Love of Zhu De, etc., awakened everyone’s common memory of time, and the members of the leading group became "fans" every second, and they also remembered clearly the publication time and copyright years of the old books. "Some old books, especially out-of-print old books and good books, we should keep some ourselves. If the market needs it, we will apply for additional printing. " Liu Huaxin said.
Books with different packaging forms and design styles contain special memories of the years, and also contain a lot of painstaking efforts and energy put into writing, editing, publishing, distribution and operation by groups of authors, editors and other staff, conveying knowledge and ideas and carrying ideals and hopes.
The "gold content" of a book should not be underestimated, and the development and prosperity of an industry is proof of the joint efforts of countless people. If the warehouse of the book publishing industry encounters an accident, it will affect the entire industrial chain. This summer, the impact of the rainstorm in Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei on the book industry has affected the upstream and downstream industrial chains, directly affecting the inventory and supply of book distributors, wholesalers and retailers, resulting in the delay in book publishing and distribution. Some small and medium-sized enterprises that have suffered disasters may even face the risk that funds cannot be withdrawn and companies go bankrupt.
Affected by market competition, sales strategy and other aspects, the pricing and actual selling price of books often fluctuate greatly, making it difficult to evaluate the asset value, and it is even more difficult to cover the asset loss and avoid potential risks in the region through insurance. According to industry standards, soaked books and moldy books may contain bacteria and germs, so they are not allowed to be sold and can only be destroyed.
"After disinfection and repair, can it be sold cheaply online or enter the campus flea market? You can also actively open up channels for charitable donations and join hands with poor areas to build a love bookstore … "Facing the damaged books that are about to be pulped, Liu Huaxin pitied them everywhere and asked for advice on book protection on the spot, which triggered a heated discussion. Liu Linsheng told reporters that the value of love books issued from the warehouse every year is as high as one million yards. "We would rather work overtime to carry love books than bear to see them pulped and turned into cheap toilet paper."
On the first weekend after the flood, Zhao Jun led the live broadcast team of People’s Daily Publishing House to Hebei, and selected fine old books and good books with special prices on the spot, and broadcasted in the warehouse for 7 hours continuously, which won the attention and support of 77,000 netizens. On September 13th, the Tik Tok account of People’s Daily Press had more than 2 million fans, and the live broadcast sales increased steadily. Walking into the financial room of the North Warehouse, three staff members were busy. The printer’s continuous "output" orders are continuous, and the sound of ticking is endless, as if it were excitedly "reporting" the performance …

Guangxi legislation： self-heating food is prohibited on trains, and offenders can be fined up to 2000 yuan.
Dear friends in Guangxi, pay attention!
In the future, you will bear legal responsibility for obstructing the departure of the train, occupying seats on the train, eating self-heating meals on the train, and beating and abusing train staff!
A few days ago, the Regulations on Railway Safety Management in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, which was voted by the 10th meeting of the Standing Committee of the 13th National People’s Congress of the autonomous region, will be implemented on October 1st.
The regulations clearly define the safety protection zones outside the scope of railway land use according to law, and set up prohibitions on the protection zones, such as prohibiting the discharge of fireworks and firecrackers; Implement "air control" along the railway, such as prohibiting the flying of civilian drones, kites, balloons, Kongming lanterns and other low-altitude floating objects within 500 meters of railway circuit lines;
Fourteen prohibited acts endangering the order of railway stations and cars and railway safety have been set up, such as forcibly boarding, occupying other people’s seats, beating and abusing train staff, and corresponding legal responsibilities have been set up for these prohibited acts.
Fireworks and firecrackers are prohibited in the safety protection zone.
In recent years, Guangxi Railway has achieved a magnificent turn from the end of the road network to the regional hub. At present, the mileage of high-speed rail in Guangxi has reached 1,771 kilometers, ranking among the top 31 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities in China. The EMUs reach 12 districts and municipalities in the whole region, 20 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities in China and the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, basically forming a modern road network pattern of "North Link, South Link, East Link and West Link".
There are many mountains and few plains in Guangxi, the proportion of railway bridges and tunnels is high, and there are many bad weather such as typhoons and rainstorms. With the rapid expansion of railway network, especially high-speed railway network, the speed and density of trains are increasing, and the risks faced by railway safety are becoming more and more severe. In order to strengthen the safety of railway lines and ensure the safety of passengers’ personal and property, the bill proposes to implement closed management of railways, set up safety protection zones, expand the prohibited acts, restricted acts and related control requirements in railway line safety protection zones and their adjacent areas, and refine and supplement relevant regulations.
The Bill proposes "control of light floating objects", for example, it is forbidden to fly birds, fly kites, balloons, drones and other low-altitude floating objects within 500 meters on both sides of railway power lines. At the same time, it is clear that under the railway bridge, no buildings or structures that affect railway safety, parking lots, shops, stacked items, processing and production, etc. are allowed, and offenders will bear corresponding legal responsibilities.
Self-heating food is prohibited on the train.
In recent years, the speed of trains in Guangxi has been continuously improved, and the number of EMU trips has increased, which greatly facilitates citizens to travel. Some self-heated rice, hot pot and dishes in railway food are welcomed by passengers because of their convenience. In fact, if self-heating food is not heated properly, it is easy to induce smoke, which poses a safety hazard to the operation of motor trains. According to media reports, when heating self-heated rice, passengers put the quicklime in the heating bag directly into the plastic box, which caused a lot of smoke after adding water and triggered the smoke alarm.
In addition to improving the provisions on pit stop management, ride management, consignment management and food safety management in railway operation, the bill also clearly stipulates that it is forbidden to eat self-heating food on EMU trains.
The Bill intends to stipulate that the public security organ shall order the unit to make corrections, impose a fine of more than 10,000 yuan but less than 50,000 yuan, and impose a fine of more than 2,000 yuan on the individual in 500 yuan for the prohibited acts that endanger the order of railway stations and cars and railway safety, such as forcibly occupying other people’s seats, forcibly boarding, refusing to get off the bus, and using self-contained heated food. If it constitutes a violation of public security administration, the public security organ shall impose administrative penalties on public security according to law.
Passenger violations will be included in the untrustworthy system.
If you miss the check-in time, the passengers still break into the ticket gate, and even don’t listen to the obstruction of crossing the platform and kicking the station door to vent their emotions. Such behavior is not only condemned by the society, but also faces the risk of discrediting their own credit.
In April this year, at Nanning Railway Station, a female passenger with a child, who missed the ticket checking time, forcibly broke into the ticket gate and vented her emotions and kicked the station gate, was finally included in the dishonesty system by the railway department and was punished by railway police for administrative detention.
The regulations clearly stipulate that relevant departments and railway transport enterprises should establish and improve the railway passenger credit information management system, and include acts that disrupt the order of railway station and train transportation, endanger railway safety, and seriously violate the safety management rules and regulations of railway transport enterprises into the record of dishonesty in the railway system, and push national and local credit information sharing platforms according to regulations. Relevant departments and railway transport enterprises shall, in accordance with the provisions, implement joint punishment for dishonesty.
Let’s see which 14 behaviors are explicitly prohibited!
● Interfere with the gate or door switch, forcibly enter and exit the gate, get on and off the train.
● Staying on the platform or crossing the platform.
● Unauthorized entry into railway lines, closed areas of stations or other prohibited areas.
● Unauthorized entry into the working areas such as the train driver’s cab and machinery room.
● Unauthorized entry into workplaces such as equipment management and traffic scheduling.
● Occupy other people’s seats.
● Blocking the train, hindering the departure, or forcibly boarding or refusing to get off the train, which affects the train operation.
● Place and abandon obstacles on the railway line.
● Throw items that affect traffic safety to the running train.
● Smoking on trains where smoking is prohibited, smoking in train no-smoking areas or cigarette substitutes that can generate smoke, and using self-contained heated food that can induce smoke alarm on EMU trains, etc.
● Beat, abuse and insult the station and train staff.
● Interfere with railway computer information system.
● Spreading false information that affects railway safety.
● Other acts that endanger the order of railway stations and cars and railway safety prohibited by laws and regulations.

BMW executives watched domestic Benda, Liao 700Pro and others appear at this Beijing Motor Show.
At the 2024 Beijing International Motor Show, the Benda booth was surrounded by a group of BMW executives. The models we watched are the newly released Liao 700Pro and other new cars on the booth. Let’s also see why the new Benda car allows these executives to observe it carefully.
The newly released Liao 700Pro is exactly the same as the old model, and it still has super high recognition. But it has hidden mystery, and foldable electro-optic wings are hidden on both sides of the fuel tank.
When it unfolds slowly, it can definitely become the focus of the surrounding riders, and the special effects are directly filled.
In terms of practicality, this electro-optical wing spotlight can also provide a larger irradiation area, which can escort riding at night. The most important thing is that this is the original factory configuration and can not be illegally modified.
Liao 700Pro has also been upgraded in configuration, equipped with Yunchi dual-cavity airbag for shock absorption, so that the seat height can be adjusted from 650 to 730mm to adapt to knights of different heights, and it can also adjust the hardness to cope with different road conditions, thus providing a comfortable driving experience. The front shock absorption is KYB adjustable inverted shock absorption, and this KYB front shock absorption performance is also excellent in the previous test drive.
The power is still the 680cc inline four-cylinder engine, with the maximum power of 69kW/11000rpm and the maximum torque of 63 N m/8500 rpm. The combination of this four-cylinder engine and the cruise car can give you a different driving experience. This engine is an early four-cylinder model in China. After the market test in recent years and the optimization of Benda, its performance and stability have been improved to some extent.
The kerb quality remains at 235kg. You should know that Liao 700pro has increased airbag shock absorption and electro-optic wing spotlights. According to common sense, the weight should increase, but the kerb quality remains the same, which means that Benda must have lightened other parts. The most likely part to lose weight should be its all-aluminum integrated die-casting frame.
The front Brembo straight-bolt caliper with double floating discs and the rear Brembo single-piston caliper with single disc are used for braking. This braking system can handle 235kg curb weight and this power. At the same time, dual-channel ABS is also standard, but unexpectedly TCS did not see it.
Motorcycle intelligent system is the follow-up trend. Liao 700Pro is also equipped with BCD intelligent car networking system, through which the detailed information of vehicles can be mastered, and the man-machine interaction function can be realized through the brand-new TFT instrument.
Judging from the power unit and vehicle configuration of Liao 700pro, it is more suitable for long-distance straight-line attack, and the fierce curve is not its home. However, compared with the old 310mm rear wheel width, the Pro version of the 300mm rear wheel can improve some control flexibility. Although the flexibility has been improved, don’t expect too much. The most suitable gameplay for him is comfortable straight-line cruising. With the four-cylinder high-speed output and the front stamping air intake, straight-line oil supply will become a very cool thing.
In addition to the brand-new Liao 700Pro, Benda also unveiled the infinitely variable speed Jinjila 550CVT ACE. I think Benda’s vehicle shape design is once again at the forefront of domestic counterparts.
Headlights are designed with circular hollowing out, which not only retains the retro charm, but also takes into account the elements of modern fashion.
The most important thing is the power system, which has no clutch on the left handlebar. According to the field data of Benda, this CVT technology originated from Benda Gong’s patent to upgrade all-terrain vehicles. The application scope covers the power platform of 250 to 600cc. Simply speaking, this CVT has the characteristics of high efficiency, long life and quieter. After being combined with a motorcycle, it can greatly reduce the difficulty of control, and novices can ride with peace of mind, and they are no longer afraid to start and kill the car.
Napoleon 250, which was released not long ago, is also the focus of riders’ attention. With the suggested retail price of 18,380 yuan, it is still very attractive to have such a cruise car with high value and high recognition.
The overall appearance adopts BOBBER style design, and the original mechanical sense is very strong, and the round headlights at the front are the finishing touch.
The shock absorption of Napoleon 250 is unique. The front suspension is composed of conventional shock absorption plus multi-link structure and external spring. Let’s not talk about the shock absorption effect of this set, because we haven’t tried it. But in terms of appearance, it is still very attractive.
The design of the rear suspension is also brilliant. From a distance, it is a classic hard-tail structure. From a close look, it combines the characteristics of soft tail. With the multi-link damping structure, the rear reduction stroke can be increased, thus improving comfort and stability. When I get the test drive, I must experience this brand-new form of shock absorption and share it with you.
Although Benda is not a first-line brand in the domestic market, we can see their efforts and innovations along the way. In terms of the design of the cruise car, it can be said that it is the first-class level in China, otherwise it will not be carefully observed by BMW executives. I hope Benda will make persistent efforts to build a better motorcycle for motorcycle friends.
The escort rider care and support team was awarded the ＂High-energy Team＂ in Harvard Business Review.
On August 18th, the second "High-energy Team Award" sponsored by Harvard Business Review and FESCO was officially announced. After eight months’ selection, the "Care and Protection Team of Flash Company" stood out from more than 100 participating enterprise teams and won the grand prize of the High-energy Team Award.
"High-energy Team Award" is a heavy award for organizational management, aiming at finding and commending those high-energy teams that are constantly evolving and surpassing themselves in the organization, and exploring new methods of enterprise management in the future. In order to let more excellent teams be seen and valued, provide learning and reference experience for enterprise organization and management, and produce greater social value.

As a pioneer in the field of one-hour instant delivery service in the same city, Flash Delivery provides users with one-to-one express delivery service in the same city for 7×24 hours, helping users solve various "urgent, busy, lazy and difficult" problems.
"Emergency rescue" is a common situation encountered by couriers. The existence of couriers greatly relieves people’s anxiety and makes people’s work and life more calm and beautiful. Once a company boss found that he forgot to bring important documents when he was approaching the meeting place, and asked his assistant to deliver them by car urgently. However, due to the traffic jam, the assistant could not arrive at the specified time. In desperation, he parked his car on the side of the road, called for a flash delivery, and repeatedly told him to deliver them on time, otherwise he would be criticized. With the flexible advantages of electric vehicles, the flasher delivers the documents to the recipients within the specified time, so that the meeting can proceed smoothly. Afterwards, the assistant was praised by the boss for his flexibility.
Up to now, the number of licensing flashers on the flash platform has exceeded 2 million, and the number of service users has exceeded 100 million. The rider is the transmitter and practitioner of the flash value. Flash has been striving to build a win-win ecology with the rider, so that they can take orders comfortably, safely and happily to help more users. Therefore, the "care and protection team of the flash driver" has successively launched a number of care measures, such as rider safety protection, reducing the cost of taking orders, improving the experience of taking orders, promoting the career of riders, caring for riders, and improving the service of riders’ cultural life.
In terms of rider protection, flash always puts personal safety in the first place, and occasionally provides traffic safety training for flash drivers in conjunction with local traffic control departments throughout the country, always reminding flash drivers to regulate their travel and travel safely; In special periods such as high temperature, severe cold and disasters, the "Escort Care and Support Team" will provide all kinds of materials for the escorting staff free of charge to protect the rights and interests of riders.
In terms of career development, in order to provide a venue for emotional communication for couriers, since 2022, Flash has set up a "home for riders" in many cities across the country to provide them with comprehensive operation and service guarantee places such as induction training, communication, problem solving, coffee breaks and offline activities; At the same time, Flash-forward launched activities such as "Gold Medal Lecturer" and "Rider Communication Camp" internally, and invited excellent riders to share the skills of taking orders for new riders, so as to improve the high-quality service ability of flash-forward, thus helping users better and solving practical difficulties for users. And open a career promotion channel, excellent flashers can be hired as formal employees of the company.
In terms of family care, Flash has launched the "College Entrance Examination Aid Program". Since 2020, it has provided free tuition for flash attendants or their children who have been admitted to excellent colleges and universities for one year, which not only rewards their excellent academic performance, but also helps flash attendants to reduce their family financial pressure.
"Deliver with kindness" is the service concept of flash delivery. For a long time, flash delivery has promoted the cultural construction of "kindness and altruism" among riders and established a "love reward plan", which has also made the platform care for riders and the riders give back to the society. In the future, the "Escort Care and Support Team" will continue to work from the aspects of order taking mechanism, income security, training and learning, and health security to provide more convenience for riders.
More fashionable and more fun
On August 6th, the National Fitness Online Games ushered in the 100th day of its official launch. Up to now, the cumulative number of participants in the event has exceeded 12 million, and more than 2.7 million certificates have been issued. The cumulative number of hits in various events has exceeded 1.5 billion, and the cumulative exposure of the event has reached more than 5 billion. In addition to the traditional projects with high participation such as running, the newly launched four projects are also popular, attracting public participation.
At present, the online sports events of the National Fitness Online Games have included more than 100 events, including intellectual sports, cycling and running, physical strength, dancing, ice and snow, scientific fitness videos and so on. In traditional sports, the participation of sports such as ball games, running, cycling and skipping rope has been very high, while the four newly launched sports such as softball, AI broadcast gymnastics, physical fitness and frisbee have also become the projects that more and more sports enthusiasts are competing to participate in, and they are quickly popular.
Softball: Young people are also involved.
Softball, also known as Taiji Softball, has a racket similar to that of badminton. The difference is that the hitting surface of Softball racket is not a net structure, but a thin cloth shape with Tai Chi patterns printed on it. The ball is a bit like tennis, with a hard shell in the middle, leather in the outer layer and fine sand in the inner layer. Its method of catching and throwing the ball is completely different from badminton and tennis. It pays attention to the tangent angle at the moment when the racket touches the ball, and throws the ball tangent after entering the racket to take the ball in a complete arc, and has four basic elements: welcome, accept, lead and throw.
Softball is a sport that needs to release its strength with softness. Although it looks simple, it has high technical requirements, paying attention to being soft and rigid, avoiding hitting, being good at buffering when catching the ball, and the actual amount of exercise is not small. Wang Shuying, a 62-year-old from Tongchuan, Shaanxi Province, has been practicing softball for more than ten years. Her summary of this sport is: "Softball seems to be relaxed and comfortable to practice, but the strength balance and orientation control need to be coordinated with the whole body, and the exercise effect is self-evident."
Judging from the participation in this online sports meeting, the popularity of softball exceeds many people’s expectations. The participants ranged from children to the elderly. According to statistics, more than 6,700 videos were uploaded to this online sports meeting, with nearly 19.47 million people playing. I believe that softball will be welcomed by more and more people in the future.
Physical fitness program: suitable for people who like to do a lot of exercise.
Opening and closing, squatting, leg lifting and skipping are four basic sports, which are the four sports challenges of physical fitness in this online sports meeting. In Le Power’s "Comprehensive Sports AI Challenge" competition area, AI technology is used to provide tricks for this online activity. Through intelligent recognition, participants can complete their actions more accurately and exercise better.
However, compared with other online sports events, physical fitness events are called "Little Iron Man Events" by many sports enthusiasts. Just like the name of the project-physical fitness, it requires participants’ physical fitness and endurance, and tests the comprehensive ability and core strength of athletes. However, many sports fans actively signed up for the physical fitness events of this online sports meeting, which really surprised many people.
The explosion of physical fitness events is actually benefiting from the vigorous development of the national fitness campaign in recent years. More and more people have begun to like sports and even made it a habit in life.
AI broadcast gymnastics: start exercising anytime, anywhere
Broadcast gymnastics is a familiar experience for Chinese people. When everyone is studying, broadcast gymnastics is an unforgettable memory. However, with the vigorous development of running, cycling and other sports, broadcast gymnastics has gradually become a memory in many people’s minds. However, when the AI broadcast gymnastics of the online sports meeting was launched, it unexpectedly encountered great enthusiasm for participation, which I believe also made many people find their former happiness.
The broadcast gymnastics of this online sports meeting is combined with artificial intelligence technology-AI broadcast gymnastics. Participants can start fitness as long as they enter the interface of "National Smart Community AI Broadcasting Exercise Workshop Exercise" in the Yuedong Circle App and let their bodies enter the range of the mobile phone camera. The AI system is matched with the ninth set of broadcast gymnastics single demonstration teaching version film through 17 points on the joint parts of the operator’s head, facial features, neck and waist, limbs, etc., to form a scoring system, which realizes accurate counting, real-time scoring and ranking of a set of broadcast gymnastics practiced by the masses.
Frisbee: retro sports are hot and "out of the circle"
Almost overnight, Frisbee, a retro sport, swept the country, and the "National Fitness Online Games 2022 National Frisbee Online Challenge" hosted by the National Frisbee Promotion Committee also caused a registration boom.
With the breaking of Frisbee, it has become a new way of life and social interaction. During the Frisbee Online Challenge, Frisbee enthusiasts and practitioners from all walks of life joined hands with many influential people in different fields to start the cross-border Frisbee relay in Weibo Division. The topic of Frisbee national relay has been read by over 100 million people, which indicates that outdoor sports events represented by Frisbee will continue to promote the all-round revival of the sports industry.

Blind roads do not help ＂blind＂ travel obstacles.
Battery cars, etc. are parked on the blind road.
Manhole covers and fire hydrants are located on blind roads.
Recently, some citizens reported to the "People’s Voice" column of the "Panzhihua Open" client that some sections of the East District and Renhe District have blind roads broken and occupied, and some places even lack blind roads, which makes the blind roads unable to help, but becomes an obstacle for blind people to travel.
According to the clues provided by enthusiastic citizens, the reporter came to the sidewalk opposite the Renhe police station in Renhe District (Wanzhuang) and saw that there were two dead ends in the blind road, which disappeared when laid next to the stairs, without any tips for the blind; On the other side of the sidewalk not far away, there is a truck unloading, which just occupies the blind road.
"When we walk, we will be beheaded. We can’t find a blind road. We can only find our way slowly. If we find another place, we will go further and further. For us blind people, it is definitely inconvenient to travel like this. " In the interview, Xiao Zhao (a pseudonym), a visually impaired person, told reporters that although his eyes have lost color, he is usually willing to go out for a walk. What helped him travel safely was the blind cane in his hand, which was the blind road under his feet. Everywhere he goes, he will find the blind road with a blind stick, and then remember the road in his heart.
Later, the reporter came to the intersection of Tianjin Road in the East District and saw that there were some manhole covers, fire hydrants and telephone poles on the nearby blind road, which blocked the smooth flow of the blind road and became a "roadblock" for the blind. What’s more, there is no blind road at all on the sidewalk on Linjiang Road.
In addition to the lack of blind roads and unreasonable laying, some blind roads are occupied everywhere. In many sections, tables and chairs, round stone piers and other items are placed in the middle of the blind road, and battery cars, motorcycles and even cars are parked on the blind road.
The original intention of laying blind roads is to provide convenience for the visually impaired. However, these repeated blind roads are broken and occupied, which leads to the blind roads not helping, but there are security risks. Xiao Zhao told reporters that he often bumps into things on the blind road, sometimes bumps into fire hydrants and telephone poles, and sometimes knocks over other people’s battery cars, and he will be injured. Sister Chen, a security guard in a residential area, said that they are well aware of the impact of obstructing blind roads on the blind, so they usually come forward to dissuade employees of shops from parking motorcycles and other items on the blind roads. Xiao Zhao hopes that the relevant departments can pay attention to it and let the blind road play its due role.
Blind roads are an important part of urban municipal infrastructure, and building and managing blind roads is a basic livelihood work. At present, are the relevant management departments aware of these problems in blind roads?
On the same day, the reporter contacted the Municipal Housing and Construction Bureau, Renhe District Comprehensive Administrative Law Enforcement Bureau and other units. Relevant units said that this issue is also the focus of their attention, and they are continuing to carry out inventory rectification and dynamic management. In view of the unreasonable blind road setting, they will immediately arrange personnel and cooperate with relevant units to carry out rectification. For all kinds of goods and vehicles occupying blind roads, we will also intensify rectification actions, do a good job in publicity and guidance, and improve the integrity rate, accessibility and convenience of blind road facilities.
The reporter of "People’s Voice" column will continue to pay attention to the follow-up blind road rectification. (Reporter Wang Zhixuan from the Municipal Media Center, Wu Xiaolong, text/photo)

This device will provide scientific support for global climate change, environmental protection and other major issues.
The earth system numerical simulation device, also known as the "Earth Simulation Laboratory", is the first numerical simulation platform of the earth system with completely independent intellectual property rights in China. It builds a comprehensive research platform by integrating the numerical simulation software of several earth system layers, such as atmosphere, hydrosphere, cryosphere, lithosphere and biosphere.
The numerical simulation device of the earth system can not only be widely used in climate change research, environmental monitoring and evaluation, natural disaster prediction and other fields. In the most urgent field of climate change response and carbon neutrality, the system can also pay attention to global ecological and biogeochemical processes and their interaction with the climate system in an all-round way, and on this basis, establish an "ecological — Temperature — Carbon dioxide concentration — Carbon emissions "provides a powerful simulation support for greenhouse gas accounting and future warming prediction, and helps realize the vision of peak carbon dioxide emissions and carbon neutrality.
Tesla’s Dream： How will Musk make it come true？
Original title: My dream: How does Musk make it come true?
[
When Tesla finally achieved the "small goal" of producing 5,000 Model 3s per week, the outside world questioned whether this "explosive growth" could be sustained;
When Tesla signed an investment agreement to build a factory in Shanghai Lingang, it was controversial. "What should Tesla take to build a factory?" "Building a factory in China means localization, and the car must be cheap?"
When Tesla issued a "small goal" to achieve profitability in the third quarter, it was reported that some orders for Model 3 were cancelled. Musk responded: Where did the rumor come from?
Recently, Tesla has been busy clarifying the storm of "requesting suppliers to refund", and responded that "it is only to lower the price of unfinished projects to improve cash flow."
Tesla’s controversy has never stopped, and difficulties have been overcome one after another. With the attention of peers and fans all over the world, Tesla is developing with twists and turns. Musk said: "Being a business is like eating glass and staring at the abyss of death, if it looks attractive." This sentence is humorous, starting a business is not so easy, the dream is full, and the reality is always very skinny.
No matter how many arguments are sung against Tesla and how many voices are questioned, "Iron Man" Musk will always be confident. Throughout his life experience, from rocket to Mars, he has always been a crazy dreamer. When we are all in doubt, Musk has been telling us with actions: Dreams are to be realized!
Daimler saves Tesla.
In 2003, Tesla was founded in the United States. Five years later, Tesla released the first automobile product Roadster, which is a two-door sports car. It was not until 2012 that Tesla released its second car product-Model S, a four-door pure electric luxury coupe. The third car product is Model X, a luxury pure electric SUV, which was delivered in September 2015. Tesla’s affordable car Model 3 was first released in March 2016 or delivered in the first half of 2019.
Years of R&D and investment, and a lot of money burning, made Tesla face bankruptcy crisis many times in the development process, which can be described as a narrow escape.
In 2009, Tesla received a US$ 5 billion investment from Daimler. This is undoubtedly a breathing space for Tesla, which has difficulties in capital turnover. Why should Daimler contribute to Tesla as a venture capital company? When asked about the reason, Herbert Kohler of Daimler said: "Tesla has created a new era, and it has the power to let us participate in the electric vehicle industry." Roadster not only runs faster than, but also accelerates the development of electric vehicle industry.
The production of Roadster is not mass-produced by big machines, but "hand-made". Roadster’s control panel was sent to the British factory by the French manufacturer, and then sent to the United States after the control panel was installed on the car body. Roadster’s transmission is produced by Borgwarner, and its braking system and inner tube are produced by Siemens of Germany. In a word, Tesla concentrates the parts and semi-finished products produced by all countries in the world in California, where the power devices such as batteries and electric motors are assembled by hand, and finally the whole car is produced.
Tesla also received support from the US government. In June 2009, the energy department of the United States officially decided to provide Tesla with a low-interest loan of $465 million. Originally, since the Bush administration, in order to promote the development of electric vehicles and hybrid fuel vehicles, the US government has provided low-interest loans to such companies in China.
After Obama took office, such projects increased further, and the ATVM (Advanced Automobile Manufacturing Technology) project of the US Department of Energy invested $8 billion in automobile manufacturing. When it was first implemented in June 2009, the company accepted financing of 5.9 billion US dollars, and the car accepted 1.4 billion US dollars. Tesla was also listed in the list of support.
After that, the automobile company and Matsushita Electric, which have a high market share in the lithium battery industry, contributed 50 million dollars and 30 million dollars to Tesla respectively, and Tesla finally passed the darkest year.
What gives them greater support is the financial assistance of the US government on ATVM. They gave Tesla not only a huge sum of money, but also a strong long-term support, and the market’s expectations for Tesla unexpectedly rose.
On May 21st, 2010, accompanied by Arnold Schwarzenegger, Governor of California, Musk and Akio Toyoda announced their business cooperation on electric vehicles. This moment has turned a new page for both companies. Tesla received a grant of $500,000 from Toyota.
Since Tesla released the affordable and popular Model 3 in 2016, the optimism about Tesla’s transformation into a mass-market electric vehicle manufacturer has boosted the company’s market value, and surpassed Ford and General Motors for the first time last year, becoming the second car manufacturer in the world. Since the beginning of this year, due to the bottleneck of Model 3′ s capacity climbing, Tesla’s share price has fluctuated like a roller coaster, but it still rose by 10% compared with the end of last year, and the company’s total market value reached 58.2 billion US dollars.
Tesla’s "Small Target"
Tesla has a great dream to promote the transformation of the world to sustainable energy. By popularizing solar power generation and electric vehicles, we can get rid of dependence on petroleum energy, effectively cope with climate change and realize the sustainable development of energy.
Tesla’s dream is very big. In order to realize the big dream, many small goals have been set, some of which have been achieved and some are on the way to realization. Make a list for your reference.
1. Produce 5,000 Model 3 vehicles per week (the small goal has been achieved), and make a profit in Q3 (on the way to realization).
2.Model Y is tentatively scheduled to be released in March or Q2 next year, and the mass production time of Model Y (Semi Truck semi-trailer and new Roadster) will be two years later.
3. Continue to build new super charging stations around the world. At present, the number of charging piles in the world has reached 9,969. Most of the design work of the third generation super-filled pile with output power of 200 kW-250 kW has been completed and will be launched at the end of this year. The third-generation charging station will be highly integrated with solar panels and no longer need to be connected to the power grid. Musk said that this will "promote major changes in the charging infrastructure" and greatly accelerate the expansion of the charging network.
4. In the future, Tesla will launch the Space X optional package for it, and the performance parameters currently announced are the specifications of Roadster Basic Edition. Through the new Roadster, it is proved to the public that electric vehicles can surpass internal combustion engine sports cars in all aspects and completely smash the powerful aura established by internal combustion engine sports cars in the hearts of the general public.
Next year’s battery production capacity will increase substantially, exceeding the sum of other battery factories in the world. Tesla battery has both the highest energy density and the lowest cost. At present, some breakthroughs have been made in battery density and cost. If there is no significant fluctuation in material cost, the cost of Tesla batteries will be less than $100 /kWh by the end of this year. At the same time, the cost of battery Pack will be reduced to $100 /kWh in the next two years.
With the current technical reserve, Tesla has mastered the technical scheme of improving the battery performance by 30%-40% again, and it is expected that it can be improved by 30% in the next 2-3 years, and the energy density will be doubled by improving the lithium anode in the next 6-8 years.
6. Build a factory in China. (An investment agreement has been signed)
……
Tesla is still carrying out the layout of the whole industrial chain, subverting the traditional automobile marketing model and profit model, and building a complete and closed ecology, including R&D, battery factory, direct store, super charging station, Network, etc. After the sale, it is the beginning of service, providing car owners with networking/cloud services, software upgrades, super charging station, Powerwall, big data, etc., and it is expected to realize the value of the whole life cycle in the future.
Whether Tesla’s dreams can be realized one by one will take time to verify.
Tesla doesn’t advertise.
Building a car is an industry with a long industrial chain and high technology and capital intensity. Tesla has been listed for 8 years, but it has not yet achieved annual profit. The debt crisis and production capacity cannot keep up, which has always been a problem facing Tesla. This will also be a problem that the new domestic car-making forces will face.
Compared with the new domestic car-making forces, Tesla has more than ten years of technical accumulation and exploration experience, which has not only been widely recognized by the market, but also made outstanding achievements in technology research and development. Therefore, the new domestic car-making forces often use Tesla as a benchmark to compare products and learn from their development ideas.
Tesla redefines automobile products, not only electric vehicles, but also intelligent, internet-based and technological products. Early domestic electric vehicle products, for the purpose of getting subsidies to reduce the terminal price, were only electrified in power, mostly electrified on traditional platforms, with a low level of intelligence, and mostly adopted some scientific and technological configurations. Tesla’s electrification is only the foundation. It continuously enhances the customer experience through Internet technology configuration and automated driving, and at the same time drives the application of intelligence and IOT in the automotive field, so it is full of science and technology.
Compared with the power loss of traditional fuel vehicles, electric vehicles are born with the advantage of large torque. The characteristics of speed-up and lightness are vividly displayed in Tesla. Tesla’s sense of speed is also a big advantage.
In addition, Tesla also has a certain sense of value. The price of Tesla is much higher than that of ordinary electric vehicles, and consumers with certain spending power can afford it. And Tesla as a scooter must have a fixed charging pile, so the owner who buys Tesla must have a fixed parking space. These are the necessary car maintenance costs for Tesla, and these costs are not affordable for ordinary consumers. So owning Tesla is also a status symbol.
Musk, the founder of Tesla, said: "Tesla, we don’t have any advertisements or celebrity endorsement fees. No, we don’t discount. If a celebrity comes to buy our car because they like it, it’s not that we give them a discount. Actually, I don’t like the concept of marketing. I think marketing is a very strange concept. I don’t like it. I think marketing seems to be about deceiving people to buy things. "
Tesla, which does not advertise, has attracted consumers all over the world. The sense of technology, speed and value has become the main driving force for consumers, and these are also places that other new car-making forces do not have or are difficult to surpass.
Someone joked that Tesla lost one car when he sold it. In fact, Tesla’s bicycle gross profit is still very high.
This misunderstanding may come from the wrong calculation method and the conclusion that the loss of each quarter is divided by the sales volume. Although there is nothing wrong with this calculation, it ignores some other investment factors, and does not take into account that Tesla has spent huge sums of money to build huge factories, expand sales stores and improve services and charging networks before Model 3 is on the road.
The rapid growth of the company’s losses is inevitable. No investors want to pay dividends when the company is still small. They want to maintain a tolerable loss and use all their funds to expand the scale.
So what is the profit of Tesla bicycles? Through Tesla’s quarterly report, you can find some data for reference. When the output of Model 3 is small, in other words, only Model S and Model X are calculated, the Non-GAPP gross profit of Tesla’s vehicle department is 25%, and the GAAP gross profit is 27.9%. When Model 3 started to load and it was well known that it was in trouble, Tesla’s gross profit dropped to 13.8% for non-GAAP and 18.3% for GAAP, and then rose to 18.8% for non-GAAP and 19.7% for GAAP.
Now, Tesla’s profits are mainly affected by two expenses, research and development and sales/management expenses. When the output comes up, the first cost will hardly increase. The second cost will increase with the increase of output to some extent, but it is not completely linear. The more impact on profits comes from the need to pay a large part of these expenses before the output comes up.
In short, in the next few years, these expenses will be covered by the gross profit of the automobile business, not to mention the photovoltaic and energy storage product lines that Tesla will start to increase in the second half of this year.
According to the latest financial report, Tesla’s global revenue growth in 2017 reached nearly 12 billion US dollars, with a growth rate of over 67%. Among them, the performance of China market is particularly outstanding, with a year-on-year increase of over 90% compared with 2016, making it the fastest growing market of Tesla in the world.
Some Tesla sales staff said in an interview that the awareness of new energy vehicles in China is constantly improving, and more and more car owners tend to choose models with strong sense of technology to show their attitude towards life. Tesla, with its high brand value and other advantages, is particularly strong in market acceptance and consumer support.
This is probably why Musk came to China as soon as he finished his "productivity hell". It turns out that China may be the place where Musk realized Tesla’s dream!

Cell Stem Cell： dopaminergic progenitor cells derived from human embryonic stem cells in the treatment of Parkinson’s disease
Original biological world
Written by Cong Wang
Edit Wang Duoyu
Typesetting and writing in water
Cell therapy is considered to be very suitable for treating Parkinson’s disease (PD) because its pathogenesis is relatively simple and characterized by localized degeneration of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra compacta of the midbrain. In animal experiments and human experiments, transplanting human fetal ventral midbrain tissue or cells has been proved to help restore motor function.
However, these results are often inconsistent, which highlights the need for improved cell therapy programs to ensure that a sufficient number of well-defined midbrain dopaminergic (mDA) neurons are produced and standardized cell preparation and transplantation procedures are adopted.
Recent technological progress has enabled human pluripotent stem cells (hPSC), such as embryonic stem cells (ESC) and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC), to efficiently generate mDA neurons, paving the way for establishing transplantation therapy for Parkinson’s disease based on hPSC. Many studies have shown that when transplanted into animal models of Parkinson’s disease, mDA progenitor cells derived from hPSC are well integrated into the host brain and mature into functional mDA neurons, which significantly improves motor function.
Recently, researchers from Yonsei University School of Medicine published a research paper entitled: preclinical and dose-ranging assessment of HESC-derived dopaminergic prognosticators for a clinical trial on Parkinson’s disease [1].
In this study, high-purity midbrain dopaminergic (mDA) progenitor cells were produced on a large scale from clinical human embryonic stem cells (hESC), and the safety and effectiveness of mDA progenitor cells were verified in vitro and in vivo. MDA progenitor cells improved the disease-related behavior of Parkinson’s disease rat model in a dose-dependent manner. Based on these preclinical research results, the research team obtained the approval of the Korean Ministry of Food and Drug Safety for the phase 1/2a clinical trial of cell therapy for Parkinson’s disease, and started the treatment of 12 patients with Parkinson’s disease.
In May, 2020, researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital reported a groundbreaking study in the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) [2]. A Parkinson’s patient who received autologous transplantation of mDA progenitor cells from hiPSC showed stable or improved clinical symptoms 24 months after implantation. Now, this method has been further developed, and the mDA progenitor cells derived from hiPSC and hESC began to enter the early clinical trial stage.
The first step in the clinical application of cell transplantation for Parkinson’s disease is to define the characteristics of cell products comprehensively. It is very important to determine whether cells are produced with clinical grade materials under GMP conditions and whether they meet the expected clinical use standards. Subsequently, preclinical research should produce convincing evidence of curative effect through large-scale animal experiments, and systematically examine long-term safety-related issues, such as toxicity, biological distribution and tumorigenicity. In addition, preclinical research needs to determine the optimal cell dose range for transplantation as a reference for human trials. Most importantly, the whole research design must be meticulous and the results must be evaluated in a fair way. This usually requires cooperation with CRO and extensive discussions with regulators.
This paper describes the process and results of a preclinical study aimed at using midbrain dopaminergic (mDA) neurons derived from human embryonic stem cells (hESC) in human clinical trials to treat Parkinson’s disease.
The cell differentiation method used in this study has been optimized for clinical application to ensure that it meets GMP standards. This optimization method can produce mDA progenitor cells with high purity and low temperature preservation on a large scale, while maintaining strict quality control. A year-long large-scale transplantation study by an independent CRO company using immunocompromised rats showed that the transplanted mDA neurons did not cause tumorigenicity, significant toxicity or ectopic integration outside the injection site. In addition, clinical mDA precursor cells showed therapeutic potential and dosage range, and produced therapeutic effects in toxin-induced semi-Parkinson’s rats. These findings provide the necessary information about the appropriate cell dose for human trials.
Specifically, this paper introduces the method of large-scale extraction of high-purity mDA progenitor cells from clinical grade hESC under strict GMP conditions, and also evaluates the toxicity, biological distribution and tumorigenicity of these cells in immunocompromised rats in facilities conforming to good laboratory practices (GLP). Different doses of mDA progenitor cells were transplanted into the semi-Parkinson’s rat model, and it was observed that there was a significant dose-dependent behavior improvement when the minimum effective dose ranged from 5000 to 10000 mDA progenitor cells. These results provide insights for determining the low cell dose (3.15 million cells) in human clinical trials.
Based on these experimental results, the research team obtained the phase 1/2a clinical trial of cell therapy for Parkinson’s disease approved by the Korean Ministry of Food and Drug Safety, and started the clinical trial of treating patients with Parkinson’s disease.
