The ancient crossing of the Yellow River blends into a prosperous and peaceful day.

  The Yellow River runs nearly a thousand kilometers in Shanxi, and ancient ferries, large and small, are scattered among them. Fenglingdu, Dayudu, Qikou and Xikou … … These ancient ferries, which were once prosperous in history, gradually withdrew from the historical stage with the improvement of railways and highways. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, under the guidance of the strategy of ecological protection and high-quality development in the Yellow River Basin, Gudukou of the Yellow River is welcoming a new life.

  On both sides of the river, green clothes and clear water moisten fertile fields

  Off the border, the surging Yellow River and the mighty Great Wall "hold hands" here. The first ancient ferry crossing after the Yellow River entered Shanxi — — Laoniuwan Gudu is here. Standing at the ferry, I saw that the forests on both sides of the river were all dyed and full of vitality.

  Who would have thought that once upon a time, it was a scene of "no trees, no birds, no nests" and "flying sand everywhere in front of us" Located on the edge of the Mu Us Desert, it used to be criss-crossed with ravines and sandstorms. According to local people’s memories, the wind and sand covered the sky, and sometimes they had to light up at home during the day.

  In order to turn into the badlands into green mountains and green waters, the whole county is shouldering the burden and concentrating on "greening". Especially since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China brought the construction of ecological civilization into the overall layout of "Five in One" in Socialism with Chinese characteristics, it has accelerated the projects of controlling sandstorm sources in Beijing and Tianjin and ecological fragile areas in Luliang Mountain. Now, the forest area has reached 1.212 million mu, and the greening rate has reached 40%.

  This is a microcosm of the continuous improvement of the ecological environment on both sides of the Yellow River. In the past ten years, Shanxi, located in the middle reaches of the Yellow River, has implemented the concept of green development, adhered to the management of grass and sand systems in landscape forests, fields and lakes, afforested more than 4 million mu every year, and the forest coverage rate exceeded the national average. The Yellow River basin in Shanxi is changing from an ecologically fragile area to an important ecological barrier.

  Dayudu is named after the legend of Dayu’s water control. For a long time, the local people have lived a life of "drinking water is more difficult than oil, and drought makes people worry". In 1970s, Ruicheng people carried forward Dayu’s spirit of water control and built a national large-scale electric irrigation station — — More than 280,000 mu of dry land benefited from the Dayudu water pumping project.

  "The Yellow River water is hard-won, so we should use it carefully." Dong Zengwu, director of Dayudu Water Pumping Project Service Center, said that after ten years of persistent implementation of water-saving renovation and efficient water-saving irrigation projects, the irrigation area of Dayudu Irrigation Area has been expanded to more than 546,000 mu, nearly doubling, and about 100,000 mu of farmland in the irrigation area has used water-saving sprinkler irrigation equipment, which has embarked on a high-quality development path of agricultural production.

  "After using water-saving sprinkler irrigation equipment, this more than 1,000 mu of land can save 60% of water, which not only reduces the cost, but also increases the output. Wheat and corn can increase production by more than 200 kilograms per mu." Hu Tianni, a large local grain grower, said excitedly.

  Measure water and save water first. Around Gudu, people who enjoy the nourishment of the Yellow River no longer blindly ask for it, but cherish the gift from the mother river more.

  "Carp yue longmen" pepper fragrance floats thousands of miles.

  After the winding Yellow River flows to Longmen Ferry in Hejin City, the water surface suddenly opens, and the beautiful legend of "Carp yue longmen" spreads all over China from here. People living in Longmen village near the ferry are turning the legend into reality.

  Hou Qingye, a 73-year-old villager in Longmen Village, still remembers that in the past, the family often ate the last meal without the next meal. In order to fill their stomachs, the couple unloaded coal in the ferry beach and earned only 1.5 yuan after a hard day’s work.

  In the 1980s, Longmen Village began to develop industry. Like many resource-based areas, they initially chose traditional industries such as coking and cement, and their operations were relatively extensive.

  Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, with the new development concept put forward, Shanxi has resolutely curbed the blind development of the "two high" projects, and made great efforts to improve the gold content, new content and green content of industrial development. More and more young people are returning to Longmen Village with new ideas and technologies to promote the continuous upgrading of the industry.

  Yuan Gaosheng, 37, graduated from Nankai University majoring in computer science. With his participation, a fully automatic coking project with ultra-low emission was built in the village. Green and intelligence have become the future development direction of Longmen Village. At present, Longmen Village has formed seven pillar industries, such as coal coking, fine carbon black, tourism and real estate, with collective assets of 3.2 billion yuan and annual per capita income of 37,000 yuan.

  "Both sons work in the village-run factory. In addition to the fixed salary, each family can receive dividends every year." Hou Qingye said. Not only that, the villagers also enjoy medical care, education, old-age care and other benefits. This year, the whole village moved to a new high-standard residential building with elevators, and the days are getting more and more exciting.

  Strolling in the mouth of fenglingdu, Ruicheng, the pepper forest here is one after another, and the pepper tree has become a local "rich tree".

  "Good harvest this year! These peppers are big and thick, bright in color and good in appearance! " Geng Futian, a 76-year-old villager from Gulun Village, fenglingdu Town, enjoyed a bumper harvest of more than 20 acres of pepper. He was so happy that he couldn’t keep his mouth shut.

  Pepper farmers are picking peppers in fenglingdu Town, Ruicheng County, Yuncheng City, Shanxi Province (photo taken on August 31, 2022). Xinhua news agency

  Gulun village was originally a poor village and a well-known "bachelor village". With the clarion call for getting rid of poverty, people rely on Zanthoxylum bungeanum, which has a long history of planting in the local area, to develop the industry, marry their daughters-in-law and build new houses. Today, the planting area of pepper in Gulun village is nearly 4000 mu, and the per capita income of villagers is about 9000 yuan.

  At present, the planting scale of pepper in Ruicheng County is 125,000 mu, with an annual output of more than 6,750 tons of dried pepper. Not only that, the local area has continuously improved varieties and extended the industrial chain, and the pepper oil, pepper sprouts, pepper honey and pepper sauce produced are exported to other provinces. Zanthoxylum bungeanum industry has become a pillar industry to promote rural revitalization in Ruicheng County.

  For people living in fenglingdu, the unique fragrance of Zanthoxylum bungeanum is the taste of happy life.

  The vitality of the cultural exhibition of the ancient town with a new look

  On July 15th of this year, the Hequ River Lantern Festival was held as scheduled, and people gathered in Xikou Gudu to watch the river lanterns passing downstream. This cultural event, which is listed in the national intangible cultural heritage list, places people’s expectations for a better life in the future.

  After the Yellow River No.1 tourist highway was opened to traffic last year, Hequ County, which is located in the land of "three provinces with crowing" and had little interest before, relied on the unique cultural resources of the Yellow River to attract many tourists.

  As an important bearing area for the protection, inheritance and promotion of the Yellow River culture, in recent years, Shanxi has increased the excavation and protection of the Yellow River culture with unprecedented efforts, issued the Plan for the Protection, Inheritance and Promotion of the Yellow River Culture in Shanxi Province, and consolidated the infrastructure. The No.1 tourist highway of the Yellow River has connected the ancient crossings and scenic spots of the Yellow River in series, such as Laoniuwan, Xikou, qikou town, Hukou Waterfall and Yonghe Gankun Bay, and the charm of the Yellow River culture has been continuously revealed.

  "On the right hand side is the rushing Yellow River water, and on the left hand side is my home." In Qikou Gudu, Liu Qianqian, a girl born after 1995, is broadcasting live on a short video platform. Following her lens, the audience enjoyed the scenery of Gudu and the charm of "the first town of the Yellow River with nine twists".

  This is the scenery of qikou town, Linxian County, Luliang City, Shanxi Province, which is known as the "No.1 Town of Jiuqu Yellow River" (photo taken on May 25, 2022, photo of drone). Xinhua News Agency reporter Cao Yangshe

  Qikou, located in Linxian County, Shanxi Province, was once an important commercial ferry on the Yellow River, leaving a large number of historical buildings in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. However, with the development of land transportation, Qikou’s commerce and trade declined, and a large number of ancient buildings fell into disrepair and became dangerous buildings. At one time, qikou town became one of the "Top 100 Endangered Cultural Sites in the World".

  Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, with the increasing awareness of cultural protection, governments at all levels have continuously increased their investment in the repair and protection of historical buildings and ancient dwellings in qikou town, and promoted the integration of cultural tourism.

  Today, Qikou is known as the "living ancient town". Escort agencies, pawn shops, warehouses and other ancient buildings tell the world about the prosperity of the ancient town in the west street, and camel gang culture is displayed in the east street. Relying on the natural and historical resources of nearby Xiwan Village, Lijiashan Village and Zhaizishan Village, the ancient town has also built a folk culture village, a photography sketching art village and a red culture village.

  "This is a very meaningful job." Bai Yongjun, head of the planning department of Qiaokou Scenic Area, said that after the ancient town was protected, it not only made more people realize the value of history and culture, but also made local people eat "tourist meals".

  As the first licensed tour guides in qikou town, Liu Qianqian registered a travel company, focusing on training professional tour guides and anchors. "More and more young people are coming back. I hope that everyone will work together to let more people come to Qikou and feel the charm of the Yellow River culture." She said.

  "Protecting, inheriting and promoting the Yellow River culture is an inherent requirement for Shanxi to promote high-quality development in all directions." Zhao Shuguang, deputy director of the Shanxi Provincial Department of Culture and Tourism, said that Shanxi will promote the protection of the Yellow River cultural heritage system and the live transmission in an orderly manner, and make every effort to build a cultural tourism demonstration zone of the Yellow River National Cultural Park (Shanxi Section).

Come and meet the "founding of the country" around us.

  Come and meet the "founding of the country" around us.

  Do you know "Jianguo"?

  This name is the imprint of an era, and it is also the expectation and good blessing of parents for their children to build the country.

  In 2019, the 70th anniversary of the founding of New China. At the beginning of the year, the Network Information Office of Zhejiang Provincial Party Committee launched the topic # Looking for the Founding of the Country Around # on the Internet. Up to now, a total of 169,000 netizens have participated in the topic discussion, and the topic has been read 520 million times.

  Qianjiang evening news, in conjunction with the Network Information Office of Zhejiang Provincial Committee, launched a series of reports on "Looking for the Founding of the People’s Republic of China around us". We searched for seven founding countries from different eras, walked into their stories, and strung together 70 years’ history.

  My name is Xu Jianguo.

  Diplomat, former Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of People’s Republic of China (PRC) to Ireland.

  From workshop workers to diplomats

  He is a realistic version of "Big Rivers"

  At the age of 23, 45, and 61, there were many choices before Xu Jianguo.

  At the age of 17, Xu Jianguo, a worker of Ningbo Cixi Machine Tool Factory, just wanted to be a technician in a small county factory. He never imagined that one day he would go abroad and become a diplomat.

  In September 1977, a news completely changed the fate of Xu Jianguo: the college entrance examination, which had been suspended for 10 years, resumed. That year, only three people in Xu Jianguo’s high school got the university admission notice, and Xu Jianguo was one of them, who was successfully admitted to the Materials Department of Zhejiang University. In the past 22 years, Xu Jianguo has gone from the president of student union to xu teacher, county magistrate Xu, director Xu and director Xu … … From university management, professional research to government departments, Xu Jianguo constantly crosses the border in choosing and being chosen.

  In 2001, Xu Jianguo went to South Africa, and since then, he has started his diplomatic career for 17 years, and successively served as China’s ambassador extraordinary and plenipotentiary to Georgia, Nigeria and Ireland. From his hand, he handed over the credentials signed by three generations of People’s Republic of China (PRC) leaders.

  Now Xu Jianguo has reached retirement age, but he is not at leisure at all. He is now the Secretary-General of china foundation for peace and development.

  His story is like a realistic version of "Big Rivers": the influence of family environment, the "restlessness" in his bones, and his diligent and pragmatic attitude towards life. He wrote his own answers at the crossroads of his life. His experience is a scroll under the brush of the great era, and the rich colors on the scroll are all based on his own initiative again and again, and his fate is firmly in his own hands.

  My name is Xu Jianguo, too.

  Lighthouse worker in Sanxingdao, Daishan

  He guarded the isolated island lighthouse for 37 years.

  The son looked at the photo and called Dad.

  Xiasanxing Island, surrounded by the sea, far away from the mainland. This island, which belongs to Daishan, Zhejiang, is only 0.07 square kilometers, which is about two-thirds of that of Yintai, the West Lake. Starting from Hangzhou, it takes 5 hours by car to reach Daishan beacon station, and then it takes 2 hours by landing craft to reach this small island.

  There is a Samsung lighthouse built in 1912 on the island, which is the second largest lighthouse on the west coast of the Pacific Ocean. All ships passing through Samsung Island need to rely on this lighthouse to illuminate the way.

  Xu Jianguo, 55, is a lighthouse worker here. His daily work includes the switch and maintenance of the lighthouse, which ensures the navigation safety of ships coming and going. In 2019, 37 spring, summer, autumn and winter have passed in a blink of an eye since Xu Jianguo first landed on this small island that was almost cut off from the outside world.

  When the typhoon came, just a few dozen steps from the duty room to the lighthouse became an "impossible task". He will prepare a hemp rope with a thick thumb in advance, fix one end of the rope on the lighthouse gate, and tie the other end to himself, and lean over and slowly move, so as to resist the strong wind and climb the lighthouse. "No matter how strong the wind is, you have to go up to ensure that the lighthouse shines normally."

  In the past, the transportation was inconvenient, and the supply ship came once a month. Every time there was a typhoon, the waiting time would be even longer. Only three meals a day could last for a week.

  Five years after landing on the island, Xu Jianguo was introduced and met his wife. Having been stationed on the island for a long time, Xu Jianguo felt that he owed his wife a lot.

  My son doesn’t see his father several times a year at all. My wife holds a photo of Xu Jianguo every day and points to the person above to teach her son: "This is your father, this is your father."

  For many years, he only took his wife to Putuo Mountain to play: "When I have time to retire, I want to go out with her more."

  My name is Zheng Jianguo.

  Owner of Kaihua Jianguo Hotel in Quzhou

  A restaurant at the intersection of highways.

  A clear water fish attracts foodies.

  Beside the national road in Xiashan Village, Kaihua, Quzhou, there is a farmhouse hotel, the owner’s name is Zheng Jianguo, and the hotel is also called "Jianguo Hotel". This Jianguo Hotel, which specializes in Quzhou home cooking, has been open for 10 years.

  There are regular customers who come from Anhui every year, and there are also Hangzhou "foodies" who drive for three hours just to taste his fresh water fish. Xiashan Village, where the hotel is located, is close to the source of Qianjiangyuan, with beautiful scenery and special landscapes to raise special fish.

  Zheng Jianguo has opened a breakfast shop and contracted the canteen of the town government. In 2007, he wanted to make the restaurant bigger, and Zheng Jianguo was in the position next to the highway intersection. The rent is more than 20,000 yuan a year, which is not cheap, but Zheng Jianguo gritted his teeth and rented it for 365 days a year. Except New Year’s Eve and the first day of the first month, the rest 363 days were almost in the hotel.

  Get up at 5 o’clock every morning, drive to the town vegetable market to buy food, and return to the store at about 9 o’clock to wash vegetables, prepare vegetables, clean tables and chairs, and set dishes and chopsticks … … Less than 10: 30, guests came one after another. Opening a restaurant is hard work, and the couple work hard. When it is good, the profit is hundreds of thousands a year.

  Zheng Jianguo is looking forward to the future of Xiashan Village. Xiashan Mountain, close to the source of Qianjiangyuan, is a veritable green mountain, because on the ancient road of Huihang, hikers have been coming here for many years.

  In the afternoon, when the guests dispersed, Zheng Jian’s Congress became a "voluntary tour guide" and took foreign tourists to visit the Huizhou ancient buildings in Xiashan Village. The eldest daughter has almost graduated from college and studied tourism management. Zheng Jianguo wants her to go back to Xiashan Village after graduation and tell more people about its history, food and stories.

  My name is Dong Jianguo.

  Yongjia random bomb actor, the fourth generation of family descendants.

  Four generations of rural stage

  Performing the Inheritance of Local Opera

  In Yongjia County, Wenzhou, Zhejiang Province, nanxi river flows across the mountains from north to south and flows into Oujiang River. Xiaoxi Village in Xunzhai Town is located on the bank of nanxi river.

  After 80s, Yongjia random bomb actor Dong Jianguo lived here since childhood. At the age of 17, he followed the country troupe and wandered around the large and small stages in Wenzhou, Taizhou, Fujian and other places, singing for 20 years.

  Yongjia random bombs were born in the countryside and also spread in the countryside. In Xiaoxi village, most people are surnamed Dong, and many people are random players. Dong’s family sang random songs and spread them to their brothers in Dong Jianguo, which is the fourth generation.

  Catch up with traditional festivals such as Spring Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival and Chongyang Festival, and hold temple fairs in the village. Dong Jianguo will perform twice a day: from 12: 30 to 3: 30 in the afternoon, and then from 6: 30 to 9: 30 in the evening. This is a big test for the actor’s voice. In the cosmetic box, there is often a box of golden voice and throat treasure with the oil paint. After singing one day, I took off my costume, and the T-shirt inside was already soaked with sweat.

  Randomly playing is very regional and deeply loved by the villagers, but once it leaves the dialect area, it is restricted.

  Around 2000, when Dong Jianguo entered the business, there were still many young people in the audience. "Now they all go to watch the live webcast."

  Outside the ancestral hall of Xiaoxi Village, there is a 525-year-old Liquidambar formosana tree, which is thick and covered with green shade. Dong Jianguo said that when he was in junior high school in 1998, the crown of the tree shrank, dried up and died. "I didn’t expect it to be green again." When he said this, Dong Jianguo looked a little proud. Perhaps in his heart, Yongjia is also like this, living and rejuvenating at some point. Our reporter Song Hao.

  My name is "Jianguo Runtuan"

  Marathon enthusiast

  They come from all corners of the country.

  There is a common name called Jianguo.

  Around us, there are people named "Jianguo", roads called "Jianguo" and parks called "Jianguo". Do you know there is a running group called "Jianguo"?

  In the 2019 Hangzhou Lin ‘an Half Marathon, there was a "Jianguo Running Group", wearing a red special edition competition costume with a big "Jianguo Running Group" printed on it, which became a landscape in the marathon team. At the start of the race, the "Jianguo Running Group" was at the forefront. "It’s great that so many eyes are focused on us!"

  Among them, the longest is 55 years old and the youngest is the post-95 generation. They come from all corners of the country and have different identities, but they have a common name — — Jianguo.

  Some of them took two years to advance from running white to winning more than a dozen medals, some were running "great gods" who qualified for the Hangzhou Marathon, and some challenged their limits in running.

  Zhang Jianguo of Shaoxing was the first to reach the finish line in the "Founding of the People’s Republic of China Running Group", and also got the "through" qualification for the marathon in Hangzhou and Shaoxing in the second half of the year; Xin Jianguo of Hangzhou has signed up for four marathons in Xianghu, Hangzhou, Shanghai and Shaoxing in the second half of this year; Zhang Jianguo, 55, runs almost every day, keeping a running distance of 150 km to 180 km every month … … .

  The "Jianguo Running Group" set up a WeChat group to share running records every day. Although it has been half a year since the Lin ‘an Marathon, the contact between the runners of the "Jianguo Running Group" has not been interrupted. Occasionally, they have to run together and continue to write the story of the "Jianguo Running Group".

  My name is Ding Jianguo.

  Grade 8 students of Xihu No.1 Experimental School

  Love basketball, love Wolf Warriors.

  Want to be a soldier like grandpa

  When the summer vacation started, Ding Jianguo, born in 2005, was promoted to the eighth grade of West Lake No.1 Experimental School. Ding Jianguo’s name is different among the popular names "Zixuan" and "Haoxuan".

  When entering school, the first time a teacher calls Ding Jianguo’s name, he is often surprised: "How do you call an adult name?" This name was given by my grandfather. I hope he will grow up and build the motherland.

  Grandpa Ding Shujun served in a certain army for 7 years from 1968 to 1975. He was injured and lost two ribs. The old man hasn’t told his family about his experience in the army for many years. Only after drinking wine once in his later years did he tell his son that he had been a soldier in Shijiazhuang, Hebei Province. After leaving the army, Ding Shujun worked as a production captain in his hometown of Xuzhou for more than ten years. He is dedicated to the public and never takes advantage of others. He has great prestige in the village.

  Ding Jianguo loves to watch military affairs in his spare time. Now, he speaks eloquently about the weapons used by the People’s Liberation Army, the CCTV military channel and even the guns equipped in the game.

  When the movie "Wolf Warriors" was released, Jason Wu held the five-star red flag across the battlefield, which made his blood boil.

  The grandfather who was a soldier was Ding Jianguo’s childhood idol: "Grandpa is a real man and very glorious. I want to be a soldier like my grandfather when I grow up. "

  Ding Feng also agreed with his son’s idea: "The army is a melting pot, and soldiers will not go astray." 

  My name is Guo Jianguo.

  Fourth-grade students of Hangzhou Mingzhu Experimental School

  A "little adult" who loves reading.

  I want to be a policeman when I grow up

  Once, Jianguo was a very popular name. Someone once joked: Call Jianguo for dinner at the stairs, and you can call home several times. In the 21st century, although this name is no longer on the popular candidate list for parents named after the 80s and 90s, there are actually some "founding countries" around us after 00 and 10.

  Guo Jianguo, born after 2010, is one of them.

  "The name Guo Jianguo was thought up by his father." Guo Jianguo’s mother Xu Lixia said. My father, Guo Wei, was a soldier for eight years when he was young. He has great affection for the army and hopes that his son can make contributions to the country when he grows up. To give his son this name, Guo Wei has his own memories and feelings, and also has expectations for his son.

  In the eyes of teachers, Guo Jianguo is a "gentle" and "book-scented" classmate. His composition is so good that he is often regarded as an example by the teacher. My son likes reading books, so Xu Lixia keeps buying them for him: "Since he went to school, I will accompany him for half an hour every day, no matter what." On his desk, there are extracurricular books such as Aesop’s Fables and Shan Hai Jing.

  Asked what he wants to be when he grows up, Guo Jianguo replied: I want to be a policeman. Because police can serve the people. When Xu Lixia first heard it, she was surprised: "There is no one who is a policeman at home, and we have never instilled this idea in him."

  For the growth of Guo Jianguo, Mr. and Mrs. Guo Wei did not deliberately set a goal: "We still think that the child lays a good foundation and the rest is to do what he likes." (Reporter Wang Xiaojie Lu Yaoyao Song Hao)

China’s Ministry of National Defense: Ask the US to stop selling weapons to Taiwan and military ties between the United States and Taiwan.

  Cctv newsOn the afternoon of October 27th, the Ministry of National Defense held a regular press conference, and Senior Colonel Tan Kefei, Deputy Director of the Information Bureau of the Ministry of National Defense and spokesman of the Ministry of National Defense, answered questions.

  Reporter: According to Taiwan media reports, the 21st "US-Taiwan Defense Industry Conference" recently ended. According to Taiwan sources, the United States may announce a number of arms sales projects to Taiwan before the end of the year. What’s your comment on this?

  Tan Kefei:For some time, the United States has repeatedly violated its political commitment of not supporting Taiwan independence, repeatedly played the "Taiwan Province card" to interfere in China’s internal affairs, and even sent out the wrong signal of "rejecting reunification by force" to help Taiwan. These abominable acts of the United States have seriously damaged China’s national sovereignty and security, seriously threatened peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait, brought great strategic risks to the relations between China and the United States and the two armies, and sent a serious wrong signal to the "Taiwan independence" separatist forces. China is seriously concerned about this and resolutely opposes it.

  This year marks the 40th anniversary of the publication of the August 17th Communiqué between China and the United States. At that time, the United States clearly admitted in the communique that there is only one China in the world, Taiwan Province is a part of China, and the People’s Republic of China (PRC) government is the only legitimate government in China. It explicitly promised not to pursue the policy of long-term arms sales to Taiwan Province and gradually reduce arms sales to Taiwan until the problem was finally solved. Black and white, clear and unambiguous. But in fact, the United States has repeatedly reneged on its commitments. Especially in recent years, the United States has falsified and hollowed out the one-China principle, and constantly instigated arms sales to Taiwan, creating obstacles for China to achieve peaceful reunification.

  In the final analysis, the security of Taiwan Province depends on the peaceful development of cross-strait relations. The US arms sales to Taiwan will only push up the tension in the Taiwan Strait and the risk of conflict and confrontation. We urge the US to stop arms sales to Taiwan and US-Taiwan military ties, and not to make repeated mistakes on the Taiwan Province issue. The China People’s Liberation Army pays close attention to the situation in the Taiwan Strait and will continue to take effective measures to firmly safeguard national sovereignty and security interests.

Being an anchor in online celebrity, can you help the confused young people?

 

According to the data released by the 2023 Live Partner Industry Conference held in Aauto Quicker, the live broadcast situation is very good.

In the past year, the number of high-quality live broadcast anchors in Aauto Quicker exceeded 100 times, the number of cooperative guilds increased by 50%, the number of guild anchors increased by 44%, the broadcasting of guild anchors increased by 52%, the revenue scale of guild increased by 43%, and the number of guild anchors with monthly income exceeding 10,000 increased by 32%.

This increasing data undoubtedly makes the confused young people see a glimmer of light again.

In fact, the seeds of becoming online celebrity have been deeply buried in the hearts of many young people since the live broadcast of the myth of making wealth was written. According to previous data, as of the end of 2022, the total number of anchor accounts in the live broadcast industry has exceeded 150 million, of which the daily average number of new anchors is 43,000.

Nowadays, although young people are in deep trouble, they are envious of Li Jiaqi’s daily income, and at the same time, they are greedy for Xiao Yang’s grassroots counterattack, eager to become the next lucky one by relying on live broadcast, which makes more and more young people take anchor as their first choice.

In 2023, even greater online celebrity began to stroke of bad luck. First, Li Jiaqi’s improper remarks provoked public anger, and then Brother Xiao Yang was questioned because of the live broadcast style. At the end of the year, the drama selected by Dong Yuhui and Dongfang was bloody and exciting … The head anchor was treading on thin ice in the current market environment, which made countless people feel that this was a new opportunity for them to get more traffic.

Although the upsurge of online celebrity is getting higher and higher, there is another set of cruel data behind it, which shows that most anchors may not be as glamorous as expected. As early as 22 years ago, online celebrity industries began to usher in a continuous wave of salary reduction. There are 95.2% anchors whose monthly income is less than 5,000 yuan, and only 0.4% anchors whose monthly income is more than 100,000 yuan.

In the era when intelligent algorithms and traffic are king, online celebrity, a profession, is becoming an extremely serious deviation field for survivors. As the saying goes, everything is online celebrity. But the invisible place is the live broadcast of most young people with online celebrity dreams, which is real and cold, emitting dangerous light.

If you are addicted, you will "die"

Counting several phenomenal "god-making" events in 2023, whether it is logic or probability, is no different from winning the lottery. In short, it can be summed up in two words: relying on life.

In May, a song "Digging, Digging and Digging in a Small Garden" was contagious in various short videos, and the number of fans of blogger "Teacher Huang" soared by 5 million. Subsequently, Yu Wenliang and Wen Huijun became an instant hit in ways that ordinary people could not understand and illogical flow logic, which made many spectators call the current platform "abstract".

In September, Yu Wenliang released his first video. In the video, he was topless, and his camera was awkward. With the popular BGM in Tik Tok, he instantly won more than 100,000 praises. In December, Wen Huijun, who also had no talent, performed a dance in the live broadcast room. The cumulative number of viewers in two hours was nearly 30 million, and the number of real-time viewers was 100,000+. It can be said that the red ones are very capricious and random.

And their amount of money is even more amazing. Take Wen Huijun as an example. On December 18th, Wen Huijun received 6,000 carnival gifts for a live broadcast, earning a total of 8.4 million yuan. What is this concept? At present, the monthly salary of fresh graduates in third-and fourth-tier cities is only 4,000 yuan to 6,000 yuan. No wonder everyone yearns for overnight success.

And these lucky people often face two important problems in the follow-up.

First, the creativity of content is seriously insufficient. Once the next hot spot appears, it will be quickly covered, and the so-called popularity will be quickly lost, and it is impossible to form a real fan conversion. Second, in the world of algorithms, if there is no huge investment cost, the platform will not continue to gain more benefits, and it is only a matter of time before it disappears.

These two fates are also fulfilled in online celebrity like curses.

To give a typical example: Teacher Huang’s children’s songs obviously can’t continue to "resound" short videos. After becoming popular, she tried to bring goods. However, due to various reasons, the cumulative GMV of the five live broadcasts is only 1 million yuan, which can’t keep up with the fraction of the bloggers’ record of bringing goods. After bringing goods, there are still a large number of users taking customs clearance. Coincidentally, the previously popular Duck Head Brother also transformed to bring goods, but the cicada mother data shows that the average sales of Duck Head Brother’s live broadcast room is 1W-2.5W, and the average UV value is only 0.2. They are still so popular, not to mention those small anchors who have dreams of online celebrity in Qian Qian.

Although many netizens spoke highly of the professionalism of these two people, a casual amateur anchor will inevitably lack a complete set of commercial delivery procedures behind him. Among them, the flow is the key. There is no denying that the end of online celebrity is carrying goods. Even the head anchor should continue to actively invest.

Because with the rapid increase in the number of live broadcasts and the commercialization of the platform, natural traffic in the public domain has been diluted to almost negligible.

According to relevant practitioners, the daily investment cost of the anchor with cargo in Tik Tok is as high as hundreds of thousands. In the eyes of electric merchants, if GMV is going up and the revenue scale is large, the cost cannot be stingy. Even Zhang Xiaonan, CEO of New Oriental Live Studio, once said bluntly that there is a large investment marketing fee to pay.

Looking through the financial statements of major MCN companies, we can see that every online celebrity that can stand tall cannot do without real money. Take Ruhan as an example. As early as the second quarter of 2016 to the fourth quarter of 2018, Ruhan revealed that its marketing expenses in online celebrity increased eight times, and the per capita marketing expenses in online celebrity were 630,000 yuan.

At that time, it was the easiest time for online celebrity to hatch.

Until now, more and more marketing costs of live broadcast with goods are not affordable for ordinary people or enterprises. To some extent, Mr. Huang’s experience has taught countless young people who aspire to be anchors. For them, popularity has always been just the beginning. If they want to survive for a long time, no matter how strong their talents are, they are like a lot of money.

The capital and platform have never thought about long-term investment for ordinary people who are randomly popular, and will only quickly find the next goal after the heat subsides. So, after the hot spot, we saw that Yu Wenliang’s "ordinary people set up" collapsed quickly and was chased by netizens. After the traffic carnival, Wen Huijun’s atmosphere cooled down. According to the data of the new list, the number of fans of Wen Huijun’s three major accounts has plummeted, and the main account "Wenshen" has also appeared a large number of fans since December 25.

Most amateur online celebrity can’t escape the above constraints. When the algorithm doesn’t need any persuasion, it just invisibly shortens their popularity path. The traffic carnival attracted on the basis of no connotation can’t stand the test of time, and it is their only fate to be forgotten after being hit by traffic.

For netizens, which live broadcast room to buy things is not to buy?

"Big Brother" is not enough.

In the minds of some young people with online celebrity dreams, even if they can’t catch the east wind of live broadcast with goods, they can eat this bowl of rice just by their looks, talents and even casual chatting, which is also the initial form of the anchor’s career. In the era of the show, the live broadcast room was like a colorful ten-mile foreign exchange, and it was full of the smell of drunkenness.

The legend of the first eldest brother is everywhere.

According to the news report on the interface, Tik Tok and Aauto Quicker and other head live broadcast platforms, the monthly flow of live broadcast rewards reaches 3 billion yuan, and the annual flow at least exceeds 36 billion yuan. And platforms such as YY, which made a fortune in the show, continue to reward business year by year. According to the ten-year performance data released according to YY live broadcast, in the ten years since its establishment, it has conducted 370 million live broadcasts and watched more than 154 billion people.

Among them, the audience sent more than 446 billion virtual gifts, and the anchor and partners were divided into nearly 30 billion yuan.

However, smiling at the camera, money came one after another like snowflakes, which was once the key reason why young people wanted to be anchors. From the birth of Internet live broadcast to 2024, the lying-win logic reflected by online celebrity’s economy has never changed.

However, whether it is live show or live broadcast with goods, it has become a traffic business until now. A long time ago, those big spenders became live signs carefully forged in the live broadcast room, and some live broadcast companies even derived special "operators" for this purpose.

Today, is there really anyone who is obsessed with rewarding?

In the hottest years of live broadcast, the love and hate between the anchor and the big brother on the list can feed half of the press, but in the past two years, similar incidents have been obviously less. In other words, in the context of the great degradation of the entire consumer market, even the top one can’t pay much. There are facts to prove it. According to media statistics, there are only more than 2,000 accounts in Tik Tok that have been rewarded to level 50 (with a recharge of more than 1.3 million). Although this data has not been officially released, it is also of some reference. Among these more than 2,000 accounts, there are many guild operating accounts.

So, how many anchors are there in Tik Tok? According to the data of Tik Tok two years ago, more than 50 million anchors started live broadcast on the platform. The consumption behavior of the entire Internet users has undergone earth-shaking changes in the past two years, and some small anchors have deeply realized that the cold winter has come:

"In the past, 100 people watched the live broadcast and 10 people rewarded it. Now there may be only one." In the past, the live broadcast of the show was lost in the torrent of online entertainment, the anchor’s hormones were declining, and the wallet of "Big Brother" was also tightening. According to the industry consulting data, by mid-2022, the number of users of China reality show was 186 million, a decrease of 7.93 million compared with six months ago. The reason is that there are too many anchors and the eldest brother is not enough.

 

Not only that, the live broadcast industry has grown infinitely, which has led to the mud and sand in the social world of the Internet. The continuous control of platforms and rectification policies has repeatedly tightened the freedom of this line to always touch the bottom line, further limiting the "financial resources" of the anchors. For example, Tik Tok introduced the "health score" system in 2024.

Interestingly, young people who want to get rich are still asking for live entertainment to make money, and the platform has given up before them.

Take Aauto Quicker as an example. Before and after 2019, the source of Aauto Quicker’s performance was highly dependent on the entertainment live broadcast business. At that time, the income from live broadcast in Aauto Quicker once reached more than 80%. At present, the proportion of Aauto Quicker’s live broadcast revenue in the total revenue has dropped below 35%, and e-commerce and advertising have replaced it.

Tik Tok has long been a pioneer in e-commerce, and has also started to support high-quality content in live broadcast content. According to statistics, in the past year, more than 1 billion live broadcasts were conducted on the Tik Tok platform, and the number of anchors in the fields of opera, folk music, history and popular science increased rapidly, among which the number of non-legacy anchors increased by 61.72% year-on-year.

It is obviously not easy for ordinary people to show their faces in the live broadcast room again.

Can being a online celebrity help young people?

Young people’s dream of online celebrity probably began to brew in 2019. In that year, a report on college students’ job hunting intention showed that emerging careers such as live broadcast, online celebrity, new media operation and online game sparring were highly sought after by young people, and 54% of the post-95 generation’s most desirable emerging career choices were also anchor and online celebrity.

In the blink of an eye, five years have passed. Young people’s longing for the myth of online celebrity seems to have not disappeared. In the first half of 2023, the cumulative live broadcast sales of e-commerce platforms were 1.27 trillion yuan, the cumulative number of live broadcasts exceeded 110 million, and the number of active anchors exceeded 2.7 million. In the past two years, almost every young person has to face the pressure of employment. When confused, the live broadcast room has become the last pure land.

In fact, the stress signals released by the whole workplace, such as salary cuts, layoffs, and precarious business, are also very common in the field of live broadcast. Around 2019, the anchor was a high-paying job. Today, the salary of the small anchor is not as real as the delivery.

According to the Data Report of E-commerce Talents in double 11 in 2022, the recruitment budget of relevant employers in the e-commerce industry will decrease in 2022. Although the job demand will increase by 9% compared with the same period of last year, the average monthly salary will decrease by 5% year-on-year. The tide of anchor pay cuts has repeatedly invaded the live broadcast room of young people’s dreams.

By 2023, the situation will be even more severe. According to the statistics of the first quarter of 2023 released by Ai Media Consulting, the monthly salary of most anchors is currently around 6,000-8,000 yuan. Compared with the salary of the same period last year, it has dropped by as much as 30% year-on-year, and even the salary of other related personnel in the live broadcast industry has dropped by about 20%.

Most anchors can feel that their hourly wages are shrinking. Take Hangzhou, the capital of online celebrity, as an example. Before that, even the hourly salary of anchor in Hangzhou was around that of 100 yuan, but now it only started at tens of yuan. According to media reports, in 2022, the average salary of anchor in Hangzhou was around 12,000 yuan, and in 2023 it generally fell below 8,000 yuan.

Looking at the enterprise side, there are countless interest links involved in the whole live broadcast industry at present: platforms, enterprises, brands, anchors … The increasingly crowded market makes it difficult for enterprises to control the detailed costs.

Take Yaowang Technology, which has a large number of star anchors, as an example. From the end of 2019 to the beginning of 2020, Yaowang Technology ate up the live broadcast bonus, and once took 16 daily limit in 25 trading days, and its share price soared by about 400%.

But by 2023, the head MCN could not hold on. The latest financial report data shows that in the first three quarters of 2023, the operating income of Yaowang Technology was 3.444 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 13.42%; The net loss attributable to shareholders of listed companies was 450 million yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 317.39%. Among them, the revenue in the third quarter was 1.181 billion yuan, down 4.39% year-on-year, and the net loss was 241.7 million yuan, turning from profit to loss year-on-year.

And the worry-free media, which occupies half of Tik Tok and online celebrity.

In the past two years, the worry-free media, which made its fortune in the show, deeply realized that the wind direction of live broadcast was changing suddenly and began to work hard to turn to e-commerce towards the show. However, the huge talent matrix has made some enterprises too big to fail. So far, Worry-Free has only successfully hatched Guangdong couple, Redundant and Mao Mao elder sister, little bear, and chubby little fish mother in more than 100,000 online celebrity.

More importantly, just these people are still carefree and spend money at all costs. Take Guangdong couples as an example. In June 18, 2023, Guangdong couples created a transaction volume of over 1.34 billion yuan GMV, but behind the disappointing results is crazy welfare marketing. It is reported that Guangdong couples have prepared 10,000 iPhones 14 for this purpose, and if the data is true, this cost alone will account for at least 70 million yuan.

To this end, Li Guoqing publicly criticized it for destroying the ecology of live broadcast, and even calculated an account for 51-worry Media: Guangdong couples pumped five iPhone every two minutes, and more than one million phones were streamed every hour. According to the gross profit margin of 18%, the streaming accounted for 12%, and goods compensation and blessing bags accounted for 10%. Not only did they not make money, but they also lost money.

But this still can’t stop the madness of many live broadcast rooms. Because everyone in online celebrity knows that if we don’t roll now, we may really have no chance. Who is not burdened with huge costs, just to be abandoned by traffic later?

The online celebrity dream of ordinary people, in fact, should also wake up. After all, the era of being able to give birth to a big anchor has passed, and even the big anchor is now in danger at any time. For thousands of small anchors in Qian Qian, it depends not only on their lives, but also on their capital and luck. However, these cannot be obtained by hard work, and most of them can only become the "fuel" of online celebrity’s economy, and the magnificent flames continue to attract waves of young people to fall into it.

Activating the new engine of foreign trade development with digital trade

  Digital economy is a new economic form, which takes digital knowledge and information as the key production factors, digital technology as the core driving force, modern information network as the important carrier, and through the deep integration of digital technology and real economy, it constantly improves the digital, networked and intelligent level of economy and society. At present, digital technology has penetrated into all aspects of economy and society, and has profoundly changed people’s production and life. Digital economy exerts its strength from both digital industrialization and industrial digitalization, which has a great impact on the existing industrial structure. Accompanied by the digital economy, digital trade, as a new trade format, has become an important force leading the innovation and development of service trade, constantly expanding the boundaries of trade.

  Under this background, we need to attach great importance to a series of remarkable changes brought about by the development of digital technology and the rise of digital economy, pay close attention to the new situation and trend of digital trade development, make full use of development opportunities, make up shortcomings and strengthen weaknesses, comprehensively promote the deep integration of digital economy and real economy, accelerate the digital transformation of industry, enhance the digital level of trade, actively participate in the formulation of international rules in the field of digital economy, and strive for more initiative in future international competition and cooperation. — — Editor

  With the continuous integration of digital technology and international trade and the accelerated development of digital economy, the development status, trend and construction of relevant rules of digital trade have increasingly become an important issue of concern to all countries in the world.

  Digital trade is a new trade format characterized by digital technology, digital service as the core, digital platform as the carrier and digital delivery. It mainly includes information technology services, digital content services and offshore service outsourcing, covering knowledge-intensive service trade fields such as information and communication technology, financial insurance, intellectual property rights, cultural entertainment and other commercial services, and is an important support for industrial innovation, structural upgrading and smooth internal and external circulation. Countries have generally noticed that the development of digital trade is accelerating the flow of global capital, technology, talents, knowledge, data, services and other factors, constantly expanding the boundaries of service trade and expanding economies of scale and scope.

  The Tenth Five-Year Plan and the outline of the long-term goal in 2035 put forward the requirements of "innovating and developing service trade" and "improving the digital level of trade". Leading the innovation and development of trade with digital trade will be an important starting point for China to optimize its trade structure, enhance its trade efficiency, enhance its trade strength and further promote the high-quality development of trade in the coming period.

  foundation in reality

  Advantages and bottlenecks coexist.

  During the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" period, with the accelerated integration of digital technology and service trade, China’s digital trade maintained rapid growth and its scale continued to expand, and its proportion in service trade increased significantly, showing bright development potential. To further promote the development of digital trade, China has obvious advantages in many aspects, such as strong industrial base and active innovation in digital economy. The main manifestations are as follows: China’s digital infrastructure is at the advanced level in the world, the scale of Internet, wireless broadband and mobile terminals is in the forefront of the world, and new technologies such as 5G, supercomputing and quantum communication are leading in the world, and information high-speed channels for key countries in the world have basically been built; The super-large-scale market has obvious advantages, which will strongly promote the industrialization and large-scale development of new technologies, new formats and new models; The industrial scale is huge and the system is complete. Intelligent manufacturing, intelligent services and intelligent agriculture will provide rich application scenarios for the development of industrial Internet and form large-scale data streams, further promoting the development of the whole industrial chain including data storage, transmission, processing and analysis. All these have laid a solid foundation for the better development of digital trade.

  In 2020, affected by the COVID-19 epidemic, China’s traditional service trade fell sharply, and digital trade went against the trend. The import and export volume of knowledge-intensive services was 2,033.12 billion yuan, up 8.3% year-on-year, accounting for 44.5% of the total service import and export, up 9.9 percentage points. In the same year, the total import and export of cross-border e-commerce reached 1.69 trillion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 31.1%, which became a strong support for the growth of goods trade.

  At the same time, we should also see that some constraints in digital trade are also prominent. The service trade level of digital delivery in China is obviously lower than that of some developed economies; The self-sufficiency rate of key core technologies is low, and basic software, core components and high-end chips are imported. The core technologies such as operating systems and middleware in the global software industry chain also rely mainly on other countries, while the core links in the data value chain are controlled by a few multinational companies. There is a shortage of talents in the next-generation information technology fields such as big data, artificial intelligence and cloud computing, especially senior technical talents and leading talents.

  development environment

  Opportunities and challenges coexist.

  At present, the development of global digital technology is changing with each passing day, and the level of trade digitalization is greatly improved, which provides good conditions and great opportunities for the development of digital trade in China.

  The accelerated integration of digital technology and industry will promote the large-scale growth of global data flow, accelerate the growth of new formats and new models such as cloud outsourcing, digital media, online education, online entertainment, telemedicine, remote maintenance and mobile payment, and continuously improve the digitalization level of service trade. At the same time, countries along the "Belt and Road" have a vast market, and the digital gap between countries is huge, which has great development space in the fields of information and communication infrastructure construction and information technology service outsourcing, which provides opportunities for China to develop digital trade.

  While welcoming development opportunities, the external environment for development is also severe and complicated, and a series of challenges cannot be ignored. On the one hand, digital trade rules have become an important part of international high-level economic and trade rules. At present, there is still a lack of uniform rules for global digital trade, and the United States and the European Union are leading the formulation of high-standard digital trade rules, which puts higher demands on the internationalization level of digital governance in China. On the other hand, with the rise of protectionism, the international restrictions on digital trade on the grounds of national security are increasing, and the number of economies that levy digital taxes is also increasing, which poses a challenge for Chinese enterprises to "go global".

  future trend

  The market scale is growing and the export capacity is getting stronger.

  Generally speaking, in the coming period, the development of digital trade in China will go further, and the scale, capacity and level will continue to improve.

  First, the scale of digital trade will continue to grow. The development of cutting-edge science and technology, the digital transformation of service industry and the continuous advancement of China’s opening up will accelerate the formation of new international competitive advantages of China’s service trade. The main reason is that the industrial foundation is more solid, and the innovation and application of digital technology will promote the emergence of new formats and new models, enrich the connotation and form of service industry and refine the division of labor. In addition, digital technology will be deeply integrated with more and more vertical fields, and the overall export of "service+"supported by digital technology and guided by high-end services will become the new engine for the development of China’s service trade.

  Second, the export of information technology services will maintain a growth trend. Software and information technology services will continue to accelerate the integration with manufacturing, and related exports will continue to grow; Cloud services will maintain rapid growth, and the growth rate of China’s public cloud market is expected to remain above 30%; The overseas market potential of social media and search engines is huge, and the overseas business in the fields of short video, live broadcast and communication will increase substantially.

  Third, the export capacity of digital content continues to increase. The scale of trade and investment in the digital content industry will maintain rapid growth, and the export markets in the fields of digital media, digital animation and digital publishing will also continue to expand.

  Development ideas

  Increase capacity, promote transformation, improve level and strengthen mechanism

  To further enhance the strength and level of China’s digital trade and lead the development of trade innovation with digital trade, we need to clarify our thinking and focus on the following aspects:

  Comprehensively improve the ability of technological innovation, business innovation and model innovation. Give full play to the advantages of the new national system and the national strategic scientific and technological strength, break through the bottlenecks of key core technologies such as high-end chips and basic software, and strengthen the national strategic planning, scientific and technological special implementation and relevant standards formulation in the field of digital technology; Build an autonomous and controllable digital economy innovation ecology based on the platform, constantly improve the industrial chain, stabilize the supply chain, strengthen innovation chain, promote the docking of domestic and international innovation resources, accurately match supply and demand, and form a data open sharing mechanism and a data-driven innovation development model; Support enterprises to increase R&D investment, strengthen the global distribution of intellectual property rights, create an open, inclusive and cooperative innovation environment, and actively attract foreign R&D institutions; Improve the legal system of intellectual property protection, and increase the protection of software copyright, digital technology patent, digital copyright, digital trademark right and trade secrets.

  Comprehensively promote the digital transformation of industry and trade. Accelerate the integration of 5G, big data, cloud computing, artificial intelligence, blockchain and other public service departments such as agriculture, manufacturing, service industry, medical care and education, and continuously improve the level of digital industrialization and industrial digitalization. Specifically, it is necessary to expand the import of digital services related to manufacturing, such as information technology, R&D design and intellectual property rights, so as to promote technological innovation and value chain upgrading; Relying on the trade in goods to drive the export of related digital services such as finance, insurance, settlement, e-commerce and supply chain management, and improve the value-added level of the trade value chain; Give full play to the advantages of data resource integration of platform enterprises, provide information, data and supply chain services for traditional enterprises, support manufacturing enterprises to establish digital, intelligent and networked manufacturing systems and real-time tracking service systems, and develop remote maintenance and data services.

  Explore the international rules of high-level digital trade. Actively participating in the formulation of international rules for digital trade is the key for China to win the initiative and the right to speak in the future global trade competition pattern. In this regard, first, we should continue to optimize the negative list of foreign investment access, expand the opening up of the service industry, attract multinational companies to set up offshore data centers, settlement centers and R&D centers, and improve the level of digital delivery. Second, it is necessary to strengthen coordination and consensus with developed countries, and strengthen market integration, rule docking and mutual recognition of standards by promoting bilateral and regional free trade agreement negotiations. Third, it is necessary to promote the construction of the digital trade rules system and contribute to the "China Program" by promoting the implementation of the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (RCEP), the landing of China-EU Comprehensive Agreement on Investment and strengthening the "Belt and Road" digital economic cooperation. Fourth, we should consider promoting the Pilot Free Trade Zone, Hainan Free Trade Port, the service trade innovation and development pilot and the national digital service export demonstration base, take the lead in benchmarking the comprehensive and progressive Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement (CPTPP) rules, conduct stress tests in promoting cross-border free flow of data, intellectual property protection, personal privacy protection, network data security and international supervision, and explore the negative list management system of cross-border service trade.

  Strengthening international cooperation in digital trade with the construction of "Digital Silk Road" as the starting point. Improve the level of digital economic cooperation with countries related to the Belt and Road Initiative, especially relying on China’s digital technology and service advantages to deepen the markets in Southeast Asia and South Asia, promote the export of information technology services and digital content services, develop service outsourcing such as data storage and processing, R&D and design, and remote maintenance, and expand cross-border e-commerce cooperation. At the same time, it is necessary to strengthen the construction of information, law, early warning and insurance systems to prevent the risk of enterprises’ "going out".

  Pay attention to overall development and safety. At present, data has become a core strategic resource and a key element to participate in international competition. It is necessary to establish a bottom line thinking, put data security in an important strategic position of national security, speed up the improvement of relevant laws such as data security rating and personal privacy protection, as well as the system for the confirmation, trading and use of data resources, explore the establishment of a white list system for cross-border data flow cooperation with relevant countries, and make good plans for possible changes in the international environment in the future.

Red Army primary school student representatives and national flag guards join hands to celebrate the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Long March

  China Youth Network, Beijing, September 22(Reporter, Zhang Yanliang, Qian Ming) On September 22, accompanied by the solemn national anthem of the People’s Republic of China, seven "Little Red Army" from the old revolutionary base areas, dressed in Red Army military uniforms, watched the flag-raising ceremony in Tiananmen Square for the first time under the organization of the National Red Army Primary School Construction Engineering Council. On behalf of teachers and students from 230 Red Army primary schools across the country, they received a sacred patriotic education and baptism on the occasion of the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Red Army’s Long March. The seven primary school students are also the main actors of the movie "Red Army Primary School", from Sichuan, Chongqing, Xinjiang and other places.

  After the flag-raising ceremony, seven primary school students came to the Tiananmen National Flag Guard, visited the escort camp and the military history museum of the army, and learned about the glorious development process of the national flag class and the sacred mission and responsibilities it shoulders. Seven primary school students watched the red-themed movie "Red Army Primary School" with the uncle of the armed police of the national flag guard.

  Fang Qiang, vice chairperson of the National Red Army Primary School Construction Engineering Council, said that next month will be the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Red Army’s Long March. We have specially invited seven representatives of the award-winning young actors in the children’s film "Red Army Primary School" to Beijing to participate in the flag-raising ceremony, walk into the national flag guard, and participate in the red-themed patriotic education. The purpose of organizing this event is to convey a red revolutionary spirit, that is, to educate children to play heroes, learn heroes, and be heroes, and to educate students to study hard and cherish the hard-won happy life. Remember the teachings of President Xi, so that the spirit of the Red Army and the red hope can be passed down from generation to generation.

  Wang Jianhua, political commissar of the Tiananmen Detachment of the Armed Police, said in an exchange with the children that the national flag is a symbol of a country and the pride of a nation. The national flag brings people not only glory, but also a patriotic complex. The five-star red flag has been flying in Tiananmen Square for more than 60 spring and autumn, which contains the countless efforts and hardships of the national flag soldiers. The bright five-star red flag embodies the blood of countless revolutionary martyrs. We must learn from each other and jointly safeguard national honor.

  The red-themed film "Red Army Primary School" tells the story of the selfless dedication of the parents and villagers of the old revolutionary base areas to the Chinese revolution. In the 1930s, the Central Soviet District established the "Red Army Primary School" to train revolutionary successors. A group of poor children, under the training of the Red Army School, learn knowledge and culture. They are witty and brave, not afraid of sacrifice, and cover the Red Army teachers and the descendants of the Red Army to break through. The film "Red Army Primary School" is all set in Bazhong, Sichuan, Nanjiang County, Enyang Ancient Town, and the Museum of the Sichuan and Shaanxi Revolutionary Base Areas.

  It is reported that the National Red Army Primary School Construction Project Council will also hold a "Red Army Primary School" film reception at the Beijing Film Academy, and hold an award ceremony in the Great Hall of the People in Beijing to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Long March, the 10th anniversary of the construction project of the Red Army Primary School, and the outstanding actors and filial piety teenagers of the red classic children’s feature film "Red Army Primary School".

Daughter suffering from "king of childhood cancer" 32-year-old mother runs more than 700 orders a month

  The road seems to have no end. More than 30 communities and 60 or 70 businesses are densely packed in almost 28 square kilometers of land. In more than a month as a delivery worker, Zhang Ning shuttled back and forth between these communities and businesses more than 850 times, running 3,190 kilometers. In 31 days in July, she sent out 770 orders, but still did not dare to stop to catch her breath.

  If the e-bike doesn’t stop, there is hope for her daughter’s life to continue. In March 2017, Zhang Ning’s eldest daughter, Xuan Xuan, was diagnosed with neuroblastoma, a disease known as the "king of childhood cancer" that quickly overwhelmed her family. The 32-year-old mother has tried online fundraising and kneeling on the street for help, and now pins almost all her hopes on the road to deliver food.

  When her daughter was diagnosed, she often asked the doctor, "Is it possible to cure this disease?" Later, she became more and more silent, asking only "what effect can be achieved." Treatment of neuroblastoma requires radiation, chemotherapy and stem cell transplantation, and the survival rate can be improved from 30% to 60% to 80%. And that all requires money.

  In order to treat their children, she and her husband quit their jobs and traveled from their hometown of Xinji, Hebei to Beijing, Shanghai and Tianjin. The family sold out of donkeys, sheep and almost everything valuable. In just a year and a half, 700,000 yuan was spent, and now they still owe 300,000 yuan in foreign debt.

  In May of this year, the child was going to have a second stem cell transplant operation at Tianjin Cancer Hospital, and the family rented a house next to the hospital. Life was very tight, and the rent of 1,600 yuan was almost impossible to come up with. Zhang Ning decided to give the child to the grandmother, and her husband would go to deliver takeout to earn money to support the family and pay off the debt. "Because this job is more flexible, my daughter can rush back at any time when she has the situation."

  Zhang Ning turned on the order receiving system at 9 am every day, and she was ready to leave home at any time with the "beep" sound of successful order receiving. Busy from 9 am to 10 pm every day, she can earn at least 5,000-6,000 yuan a month. Sometimes, this is not enough for Xuan Xuan to spend a day in the transplant warehouse.

  The asphalt road in summer is steaming hot and can "spread eggs". Zhang Ning is always fully armed, his thin body is covered in a larger rider’s suit, and the two work clothes are rotated every day. The blue helmet is pressed against a short hair that is ear-length. The skin exposed to the clothes is tanned, and the lips are not wet due to long-term sun exposure. Only the pink hello kitty sunshade gloves on the handlebars of the electric bicycle reveal her love of beauty.

  As the only daughter in her family, as a child, she used to feel angry that her father favored boys over girls and gave her farm work to her instead of her brother. She secretly vowed not to do manual labor in the future. After graduating from high school, she studied haircutting, jewelry, beading, braiding, and partnered with friends to open a nail salon.

  After her daughter was born, she pinned similar hopes on the child. Since the birth of Xuanxuan, Zhang Ning has taken more than 1,000 photos of her, taught her to read, write, draw, roller skate, and braided her waist-length hair. After receiving treatment, Xuanxuan’s body became thinner and thinner, and her hair fell out one by one. Zhang Ning secretly cut the child’s hair short in the middle of the night and braided the rest into strands of small dreadlocks. After the small dreadlocks also fell off, Zhang Ning bought her daughter pink shoes in red, fearing that she would be "recognized as a boy".

  But Zhang Ning couldn’t stop herself from becoming less and less like a woman. In the past, she had long black hair and thick bangs, "in order to look young". To accompany her daughter in the transplant warehouse, her hair was getting shorter and shorter. In the past, she wore light makeup on her face, but now she can "manage it for a day" by wearing a layer of sunscreen when she goes out.

  After 2 pm, when the order was less, Zhang Ning could temporarily go home to rest, eat some "sesame oil wrapped in rolls", and swallow it with rice porridge or plain water. When she ran outside, she could go without drinking water for two or three hours in a row. Until she was free, she went to buy 1.5 liters of mineral water and poured more than half a bottle in one go.

  Sometimes there is a heavy rainstorm, the water on the street reaches her knees, and the car has to be delivered as soon as the order comes. Several colleagues’ batteries have malfunctioned due to soaking in water, and she is glad that her car is relatively new and "holds on". It was just a sudden heavy rain, and she did not have a poncho. She also fell on the side of the road because of a slippery tire, and she could not get up by herself. Fortunately, she was supported by a passing taxi driver.

  The wind, the sun, the rain, she took these as interesting news to tell her children. But in the interview, the most she said to the reporter was "I don’t know how I survived it."

  She has been cheated of money, desperate, and even thought of death. Last year, her father was diagnosed with cancer, and her mother broke her leg. She went back to her hometown to take care of her parents. Her husband’s bank card was defrauded by a wire fraud of 50,000 yuan, which was the last amount of money for her daughter’s treatment. They went to report the case, but were told by the police that there was little hope of recovery. She cried a lot, and she was about to go out in the middle of the night. Her mother held her hand tightly, so she woke up and decided to "continue to live, live day by day".

  Before her child’s illness, she had never been to a big city. After going there, she found that the cancer hospitals and children’s hospitals in these cities were full, and they had to wait for half a month for a bed. She had seen some children who were calling "Auntie" yesterday and disappeared the next day, and she had also seen countless families like her family. In the patient group, they talked less about money, "because each has its own way."

  She heard that there was a "city" couple who relied on their "powerful connections" to easily raise hundreds of thousands of yuan; there was also a young father who spent every day on the live broadcast software, interacting with the boss to attract fans and tips, and also made a lot of money.

  She thought of various ways to raise money. She tried water drop fundraising, but the people who forwarded donations were all relatives and friends. "The money has been borrowed all over the place", and finally raised more than 100,000 yuan.

  Before entering the transplant warehouse for the second time, she had brought Xuan Xuan to kneel on the sidewalk next to the children’s hospital and begged. Some children stopped and were pulled away by adults. The money received was also 1 yuan and 50 cents, and she could only raise 100 or 200 yuan a day.

  "As long as I can save my daughter, I can do anything," she told reporters.

  When she first started running takeout, she was afraid of being complained because she would be deducted money. She was not good at finding her way, and it was difficult for her to distinguish between "east, west, north and south" when customers told her. From day to night, some street lights were dim, and she was also frightened by people burning paper money on street corners.

  But in order to make money, Zhang Ning ran most of the time. Whether it was dozens of bottles of drinks or two large watermelons weighing more than 10 catties, she went upstairs without saying a word. Guests lived on more than ten floors, and she couldn’t wait for the elevator, so she took two steps and made one step, arriving before the elevator.

  She joked that these strengths were "developed by holding children." Every time Xuanxuan finished surgery, she had no strength, so she and her husband could only take turns carrying her. After her daughter got sick, she even learned to give injections.

  After two stem cell transplants and a course of chemotherapy, 7-year-old Xuan Xuan looked much thinner than her peers. Her slender arms and legs were like bamboo poles, and her hair-shedding head stood out even more. The stem cell reinfusion caused her body to turn black, and the summer skirt could not cover the huge scar on her chest.

  With less and less money on hand, after the second transplant operation, although Xuanxuan’s blood pressure was not completely stable, Zhang Ning’s family discussed with the doctor and decided to let the child be discharged early and go to the hospital for examination every day. She heard that there are more advanced immunotherapy, and when she heard that at least 500,000 yuan started, she felt helpless.

  Zhang Ning never wrote this worry on her face. When the customer who ordered the food opened the door with a small crack, she would pass the takeaway with a smile on her face and say "I wish you a happy meal"; when she met some familiar customers, she would also take the initiative to greet, "Hello Auntie, I meet you again."

  Only when Zhang Ning left, these guests would receive a text message: "Hello, I am the food deliveryman who delivered the takeout to you just now, and I am also the mother of a tumor baby. If it’s ok, please help me click on the very high praise (super praise). Each super praise will give me an additional reward of 30 cents. Thank you for your love and encouragement. There must be something wrong with the delivery. I will try my best to improve and complete each order with all my heart!"

  Zhang Shilun, the head of Zhang Ning’s takeaway station, told reporters that he only discovered Zhang Ning’s difficulties later. He remembered that Zhang Ning looked anxious when he came to the interview, but did not disclose his situation, "maybe because he was afraid that I had concerns." He admitted that he did worry, "after all, this is a high-risk job." This is the first female rider he has recruited since running the site.

  Zhang Shilun said that in this food delivery station, there are big men from northeast China who have been laid off from oil companies, and college students who have failed to start their own businesses and turned to food delivery. In his opinion, "the Internet saves a group of people."

  In the past July, Zhang Ning ran a total of more than 700 orders. In a few days, the number of completed orders also topped their site list, and the number of praise also ranked first.

  Zhang Ning could only take his daughter’s food to the cancer hospital during the delivery period. The transplant warehouse only had a window close to the ground for patients’ families to deliver meals, and the daily visiting time was only three times in the morning, middle and evening. A patient in the same hospital remembered that Zhang Ning came and went in a hurry every time, and had to leave in a hurry as soon as he put the lunch box in the window.

  Only when collecting the lunch box did Zhang Ning have time to stop, call his daughter through the glass of the visitation window, give her a thumbs up, and sign a victory gesture. Sometimes it was a little wrong, and the entrance to the visitation window was already closed. The daughter could only talk to her on mobile phone video, shouting to her aggrieved "bad mother, don’t come to see me", she apologized to her daughter, but she still couldn’t be on time next time.

  Like other 7-year-old children, Xuanxuan’s wish when she grows up is to "be a model", and she also loves to act coquettishly. Sometimes she complains that her mother is always controlling her, not allowing her to eat ice cream, nor letting her watch cartoons on her mobile phone for too long. Zhang Ning sometimes doesn’t know whether to laugh or cry, saying to her daughter, "You will cost tens of thousands of yuan to eat an ice cream now." "When you grow up, I will no longer care about you."

  Xuanxuan still showed maturity that children of the same age did not have. Although she did not know what disease she had until now, she was able to run to the hospital blood test place with ease, proudly pointing at the test sheet and saying to her mother, "My platelets have increased." Whenever it rained, she would call to tell her mother "don’t go out and run." When she called, as long as she heard the wind, she knew that Zhang Ning was riding an electric bicycle and hung up immediately.

  The child’s peers had already entered primary school, and Xuan Xuan could only stay in a 10-square-meter transplant warehouse or rental room. Apart from her relatives, she could only accompany her with cartoons on her mobile phone. She used to love singing children’s songs with her children, but now when she returned home every day, she was so tired that she fell down as soon as she touched the bed, and she didn’t even have the strength to hold the child.

  When she felt that she couldn’t hold on, Zhang Ning flipped through the previous photos and videos. At that time, she loved to laugh and take pictures. The family of three went to the park and swimming pool together, and life was not so gray.

  Before Xuanxuan’s illness, she was skating. Not long ago, Zhang Ning also posted a small video. Xuanxuan was wearing two balls with red ribbons, a small purple sweater skirt, and a pair of roller skates. She rushed from a distance like a gust of wind, swept past her, blinked at the camera, and slid into the distance. That was the video recorded in February 2017, less than a month after Xuanxuan was diagnosed with neuroblastoma.

  In early 2018, 7-year-old Xuan Xuan made a New Year’s wish. Seeing that some children’s parents did not want them because they were sick, she "hoped that everyone would love Xuan Xuan", knowing that "it cost a lot of money to see a doctor, and she hopes to earn it back when she grows up". She also wants to go to school, botanical gardens, and take a ship on the sea. But Zhang Ning only wishes that her daughter will be healthy in the future and have more hope of living.

  At present, Xuanxuan’s condition can be said to be "basically clinically cured, as long as it is reviewed on time."

  For Zhang Ning, it’s not over yet. "Children bear the pain, but adults have to bear more."

  Only when driving on an electric bicycle on the road did she feel a moment of freedom. Although her fingers were calloused by the long-term grip on the rotating handle, and her shoulders were also sore from the long-term tightness. When her daughter first fell ill, she couldn’t sleep all night. Now the psychological burden has finally been converted into physical fatigue, and the long-lost sleep has been exchanged.

  She still didn’t dare to relax any day. Many delivery workers like to gallop after nightfall because the roads are clear and the breeze is cool. But Zhang Ning thought about it and said that she still likes noon and evening the most, which is the busiest time. "There are many orders," which also means that she is closer to the future she promised her children.
