Last week, Musk predicted that the SpaceX heavy-duty launch vehicle would be launched this week, and said that the probability of successful launch was 50%. I thought he was modest, but I didn’t expect to give us a shot.

Last night, the starship announced that it would postpone the launch 40 seconds before the test flight. The reason for the cancellation was that there was a problem with the pressurization system of the super-heavy booster, specifically, the pressure valve was frozen, so the launch plan was temporarily cancelled.

The next launch will have to wait at least 48 hours. This morning, SpaceX announced that it will conduct a flight test two days later, that is, on the morning of April 20, EST.

According to the original plan, three minutes after liftoff, the starship will separate from the booster rocket, fly about 150 kilometers above the surface, and finally splash down near Hawaii.

SpaceX is so cautious, because before the starship, SN8 crashed hard in the test, and the original intention of the starship design is to achieve multiple recycling, which will greatly reduce the cost of rocket launch, so before the starship is successfully launched, all caution is worthwhile.

Japanese game giant Sega announced that it has acquired Finnish game company Rovio Entertainment, the developer of the famous game Angry Birds, for about 5.344 billion yuan (706 million euros).

The acquisition is expected to be completed in September 2023. Sega’s acquisition of Rovio aims to enhance the mobile game business and use Rovio’s expertise to push existing and new games to the global market.

Rovio is one of the most successful game developers in the early days of mobile Internet. It owns many self-developed games, such as Angry Birds and Little Thief, among which Angry Birds has been downloaded more than 1 billion times, making it the first mobile game certified by Guinness Book of Records.

Last night, Apple announced that the Apple Card savings account was officially launched. This function enables Apple Card users to open Goldman Sachs savings accounts in the iPhone wallet application and earn interest from the balance of Daily Cash at an annual rate of 4.15%.

This feature requires an iPhone with iOS 16.4 or later to use.

WPS office assistant launched a new version of WPS membership system. The original three categories of WPS members, rice husk members and svip were cancelled and unified as WPS svip.

The new version of svip is divided into basic package and Pro package, which are suitable for personal daily use and users with professional office needs respectively.

The basic package is 148 yuan, and the Pro package is 248 yuan.

According to the recruitment release of Shanghai Lingang, the Tesla Energy Storage Super Factory, which just signed a contract to settle in Shanghai Lingang recently, began to recruit. In 2019, when the Tesla Shanghai factory was completed for recruitment, there was a recruitment fever.

Tesla’s Shanghai factory has a good reputation for treatment. Tesla staff revealed that an ordinary front-line worker has a basic salary of 5K+ per month, and other incomes include bonuses, allowances, overtime pay, etc., with an average monthly income of nearly 10,000 yuan. In addition, there are 7% five insurances and one gold, 5% housing accumulation fund, free working meals, free shuttle bus, and free commercial insurance for the whole family.

But late last week, some people tweeted to the accounts of elon musk, his mother Meyer Musk and Tesla on Musk’s Twitter, saying, "Please note that the performance (bonus) of the front-line workers in Tesla’s Shanghai factory has been arbitrarily deducted. 」

Two workers mentioned that their supervisor informed them that their quarterly bonus was cut at the weekend. When asked about the reason, Tesla’s supervisor mentioned a "safety accident" that happened in February this year. It is said that the accident caused the death of a worker.

Kunlun Wanwei and Singularity Zhiyuan jointly released a 100-billion-level large language model "Tiangong", which can meet diversified needs, such as copywriting, knowledge quiz and code programming.

The generating ability of "Tiangong" covers science, technology, culture, art and other fields. At present, the invitation test has been started.

Sundar Pichai, CEO of Google, expressed his concern about the rapid development of artificial intelligence and its potential threat to society in the CBS program "60 Minutes".

"I always think that AI (artificial intelligence) is the most profound technology that human beings are studying, which is deeper than fire, electricity or anything we have done in the past."

Pichai believes that society needs to adapt to new technologies, and all walks of life may be affected, and artificial intelligence may subvert the work of "knowledge workers." He emphasized the risks of generative artificial intelligence, such as deep forgery of videos, called for supervision, and pointed out that those who made these videos must bear the consequences.

New technology will affect every product of every company. Take radiologists as an example. In the next five to ten years, artificial intelligence may become their assistant to help with priority tasks.

He emphasized the necessity of supervision, saying that anyone who has worked with artificial intelligence will realize that it is so different and profound that we need social regulations to think about how to adapt.

He also mentioned that Google’s AI technology was used in a harmful way, which made him sleepless at night.

Extension of subsidy period, many policies and measures to promote the consumption of new energy vehicles

　　Source: China Automobile Industry Association.

　　At the beginning of May, after waiting for seven working days, Tang Mengmeng, who works in a large high-tech company in Beijing, finally got the second car for his family — — All approval procedures for installing charging piles for G3 pure electric SUV in Tucki.

　　Although more and more consumers are beginning to accept new energy vehicles, there are more and more models to choose from in the market, and the phenomenon that charging is "hard to find" is gradually changing. However, after the subsidy fell sharply in the second half of last year, the new energy vehicle market began to fall into negative growth. In April, the monthly production and sales of new energy vehicles were 80,000 and 72,000 respectively, down by 22.1% and 26.5% respectively. In the first four months of this year, the cumulative production and sales reached 205,000 vehicles, down 44.8% and 43.4% respectively.

　　Can the government’s policies and measures to promote consumption make the new energy vehicle market regain its upward trend? What new choices will consumers face when buying new energy vehicles?

　　Subsidies are extended, purchase tax is exempted, and the policy "red envelope" boosts the recovery of new energy auto market.

　　"The city subsidizes 10,000 yuan, and the manufacturer subsidizes 10,000 yuan. Now it is cost-effective to buy an electric car." Zhao Shun, who runs a decoration company in Guangzhou, has been driving a Guangxi-licensed fuel car around customers for several years. Since last year, Guangzhou has implemented the "four stops and four stops" restriction policy for foreign vehicles entering the control area, stipulating that the longest continuous driving time of foreign vehicles in the downtown control area should not exceed 4 days, and the interval between driving again should be more than 4 days. "I often can’t remember it. If I violate the rules, I have to record 3 points and punish 200 yuan. I have long pondered buying a new energy vehicle." Zhao Shun said that in March, Guangzhou issued a good policy of subsidizing 10,000 yuan for the purchase of pure electric vehicles, and he made a move.

　　Zhu Zhanying, general manager of Guangzhou Changwei Store of GAC New Energy, told the reporter that the Guangzhou municipal government launched a package of measures to stabilize the economy on March 3, and clearly proposed a government subsidy of 10,000 yuan for the purchase of pure electric vehicles. On the same day, GAC New Energy announced that "the government subsidizes 10,000 yuan and Guangxin supplements 10,000 yuan". When the news came out, the online attention, the amount of visits to stores and the volume of transactions all rose sharply. "More than 200 units were sold in March, setting a record for the sales of pure electric vehicles in a single month since the establishment of our store!" Zhu Zhanying said.

　　On March 31st, the executive meeting of the State Council explicitly extended the purchase subsidy for new energy vehicles, which was originally withdrawn at the end of 2020, for two years. At the same time, the purchase tax exemption policy for new energy vehicles was also extended for two years, which means that the era of subsidies for new energy vehicles 2.0 has officially arrived.

　　On April 23, the Ministry of Finance and other four ministries and commissions jointly issued the Notice on Adjusting and Perfecting the Subsidy Policy for New Energy Vehicles, which clarified that the subsidy standards for new energy passenger cars (excluding rental and online car-sharing) will be reduced by 10%, 20% and 30% respectively on the basis of the previous year, and those with a cruising range of less than 300 kilometers will not be subsidized, and those with a sales price of more than 300,000 yuan/vehicle will not be subsidized.

　　"The new energy vehicle subsidy policy and purchase tax concessions are extended for two years, which is equivalent to giving consumers a big red envelope with a total amount of about 100 billion yuan." Cui Dongshu, secretary-general of the National Passenger Car Federation, said that this is a great benefit for new energy vehicles.

　　Gu Huinan, general manager of GAC New Energy, believes that the extension of the subsidy and purchase tax exemption policy and the clarification of the extent of subsidy decline in the next three years are equivalent to giving the market a reassurance, which not only relieves the cost pressure of enterprises, but also facilitates the R&D and production organization of vehicle enterprises in the next stage. For consumers, it also means that there is no need to buy a car this year for the subsidy that is about to withdraw, and there will be more choices.

　　Charging piles are among the new infrastructure, and "more cars and fewer piles" is expected to be alleviated.

　　"The parking space at home is an annual rent and there is no property right. According to past practice, the residential property will not approve us to install charging piles." Tang Mengmeng said that what surprised her was that when she tried to fill out the safety commitment letter in triplicate provided by the 4S shop when picking up the car, she actually got the charging pile installation agreement in the community. Next, with the letter of commitment and the installation agreement of the property, I went to the power supply bureau to apply for installing the electric meter. After 7 working days, the application was approved.

　　Xu Qingyi, a full-time mother born in the 1990s who lives in Baoshan District, Shanghai, bought a pure electric car Geometry A owned by Geely at the end of last year. Although it is an old community and there is no fixed parking space, after application, the charging pile installation permit of the property was obtained.

　　In fact, as early as 2015, the General Office of the State Council issued the Guiding Opinions on Accelerating the Construction of Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure. In 2016, the National Development and Reform Commission and other five departments jointly issued relevant rules, clearly dividing the responsibilities of users, electric vehicle companies, power supply companies, property and other parties, and standardizing the relevant processes of charging pile construction in the community. In recent years, various localities have also introduced a series of measures to encourage charging piles to enter the community and implement awards and subsidies. Tang Mengmeng and Xu Qingyi have successfully installed charging piles, which have benefited from this.

　　Li Ye, director of supervision of the National Energy Administration, said that by the end of 2019, China’s charging infrastructure had reached 1.2 million, an increase of 500,000 compared with the end of last year. Not only that, the structure of charging piles has been further optimized, including 500,000 public piles, and the growth rate has slowed down; There are 700,000 private dedicated piles, maintaining a high-speed growth trend. "This also reflects from one side that new energy vehicles are accelerating the transformation from policy-driven to market-driven." Li Ye said.

　　With the construction of charging piles into new infrastructure, the process of charging pile construction has been accelerated, and the situation of "more cars and fewer piles" has been changed, and the "acceleration button" has been pressed for the consumption of new energy vehicles.

　　"It is estimated that the investment will be about 10 billion yuan this year, and there will be about 200,000 new public piles, more than 400,000 new private piles and 48,000 public charging stations." Cai Ronghua, deputy director of the Industrial Development Department of the National Development and Reform Commission, said. Sun Guangqi, director of the Economic Construction Department of the Ministry of Finance, also said a few days ago that the Ministry of Finance will study the reward and compensation policy for optimizing the construction of charging facilities to further mobilize local enthusiasm.

　　Strengthen integration and innovation, and make more efforts in service value experience.

　　Affected by the epidemic situation and various factors, the cumulative sales volume of new energy vehicles in China in the first four months of this year was almost halved year-on-year, but it was an out-and-out "highlight moment" for the domestic Tesla Model 3. Especially in March, this model sold over 10,000 vehicles in a single month. Despite the subsidy adjustment in April, the sales volume was only 3,635 vehicles, but the output in that month still exceeded 10,000.

　　"My family wanted to buy a Model 3 at first." Tang Mengmeng told reporters that if we only look at brand effect, styling design, acceleration performance, etc., Tesla has advantages; However, considering the cost performance, China brand new energy vehicles are still more people-friendly. "Although Tesla’s entry-level model has dropped by more than 30,000 yuan, we still need a loan. Later, I wanted to be practical and pay the full amount to buy a Tucki G3. " Tang Mengmeng said.

　　"Although the use cost of new energy vehicles is low and the problem of difficult charging is gradually being solved, for consumers, the high initial investment cost and the low residual value of used cars still discourage most private consumers." Zhang Baolin, chairman of Changan Automobile, said frankly.

　　According to a survey, compared with the fuel vehicles in the same year, the value-keeping rate of used cars with pure electric vehicles is about 10% lower. Even Tesla, a 4-year-old used car with a mileage of 100,000 kilometers, has a preservation rate of less than 50%. Some domestic brands of pure electric vehicles with poor reputation have a preservation rate of only 63% for one year. To this end, some brands have introduced new business models such as residual repurchase and battery leasing, but they are still not the mainstream of the market.

　　"We must strengthen the integration and innovation of products, services and business models." Wang Xiaoqiu, president of SAIC, believes that to solve this problem, we should make full use of the financial tool chain and data business chain, open up the whole business chain of new energy car purchase, insurance, leasing, maintenance, repair, used car and salvage value recovery, establish a service plan covering the whole life cycle, and enhance the service value experience of users.

　　Concept upgrade, standard upgrade and technology upgrade to further improve the safety of new energy vehicles.

　　On May 8, a brand pure electric van spontaneously ignited at a charging station in Dongguan, and the photos of multiple cars charged together next to it exploded in the circle of friends. On May 18th, a video of a brand pure electric car suddenly caught fire and exploded in a public parking lot, which once again made the topic of pure electric car spontaneous combustion attract consumers’ attention.

　　According to incomplete statistics, in the short period of three months since May last year, 79 new energy vehicles caught fire in China, involving brands ranging from imported Tesla to tens of thousands of China brand products, with a wide distribution range. Wang Chuanfu, chairman of BYD’s board of directors, said: "The safety accident of any brand will affect the healthy development of the whole industry."

　　In order to further improve the safety of new energy vehicles, on May 12, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology organized and formulated three mandatory national standards for electric vehicles and power batteries, which were approved by the State Administration of Markets and the State Standardization Administration Committee and will be implemented on January 1, 2021. "The standard increases the thermal diffusion test of the battery system, requiring that the battery system will not catch fire or explode within 5 minutes after the thermal runaway of the battery monomer occurs, which will reserve the necessary safe escape time for the occupants." Experts from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology said.

　　"This year, Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited and BYD, two leading companies in the field of power batteries in China, have achieved innovations in the field of battery pack technology." Ou Yangming Gao, academician of China Academy of Sciences and vice chairman of committee of 100 of China Electric Vehicle, said that CTP of Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited and blade battery technology of BYD have greatly improved the energy density and significantly reduced the cost of lithium iron phosphate batteries with obvious advantages in safety performance, which will be a great boon for consumers of pure electric passenger cars.

Flowers grow short, so we should work hard this spring.

Letters, originally romantic in the old days, belong to Su Zhenshu’s unique feelings today. During the thirteen years, she read, bought and wrote books, and wandered in the sea of books and mountains and rivers, which was also the sincere thinking of intellectual women.

The recently published collection of epistolary prose "Thinking about Peace" is a collection of letters from Su Zhenshu to his friend Jia Lujun, which is followed by "Meeting in Kyoto" and "Asking about Kyoto". Through forty-four letters, she showed her love for life and her yearning for her hometown friends. This book is arranged in chronological order, beginning with the end of the year and ending with the Spring Festival. Readers can follow the author’s records to experience the change of cold and heat, and feel the weight and temperature of time in the seasonal changes.

Trivia at the end of the year

Jia Lu Jun:

See you. Good.

Last night, I attended the annual meeting in the research room and went out for a drink with my teacher. Yumiko, the teacher elder sister, is so frank that she drinks sake from beer and sweet potato soju. The small bottle of shochu is very cute, depicting the ancient game map. She handed me her cup and urged me to have a taste. Always keep a clear head outside, so you usually drink plum wine with water. I hesitated, but I took the cup and took two sips, softer than I thought, and blurted out, "It’s delicious." Elder martial sister Yumiko was very happy, so she called Yihe for me alone. "He" is a commonly used unit of measurement for Japanese wine. One "He" is 180 ml, which is scalded once in a wok, put in a "Deli" and served with a small small wine cup. Deli Japanese hip flask, big belly and small mouth. The matching small handleless wine cup is called "Pig’s Mouth", and there are often ripples of blue patterns at the bottom to identify the purity of the wine. Just drink one cup at a time and slowly.

▲ Photo by Su Zhenshu (the same below)

After the banquet, I saw the bright stars in the sky in the silent narrow lane. The wind is very cold. Kyoto is surrounded by mountains on three sides. It is said that it was a big lake in ancient times. Although it is not as hot as Chongqing in summer, the wet cooling in winter is even worse than Chongqing. Japanese historian Moriya Chensaburo once said that Kyoto people enjoy the beauty of spring and autumn, so they need to explore the ruthlessness of summer and winter. I always take this sentence to comfort myself to accept the two difficult seasons in the ancient capital.

It’s cooled down these days and snowed in many places on the island. Kyoto is also extremely cold, and there are a few mornings with a little broken snow. According to the predecessors, every snowy day in Kyoto, local TV stations will definitely send helicopters to shoot the snow scene of the ancient capital, among which there will inevitably be the Golden Pavilion Temple covered with snow. Locals always have to see this snow scene before they feel relieved, as if winter had not been let down. There are many tourists all the year round, and after the snow, it is full of photographers. I am afraid of crowding, so I haven’t been there yet. Chimonanthus praecox and narcissus have blossomed, and there are also bright red fruits of Cornus officinalis, Pyracantha fortunei and Nandina domestica. Birds are scrambling to peck and eat roundly. There are many Chinese tallow trees by the river, and their white fruits are like plum blossoms. I remember walking with you on the outskirts of Nantong a few years ago. You pointed to a large area of Chinese tallow tree and said, "Zhang Jian vigorously promoted the planting of this tree in those years, because he could make cocoa butter from Chinese tallow and make something similar to chocolate, but it was not as delicious as chocolate. It was just a lie."

Japanese people must send postcards to each other in the New Year, which are called "New Year greetings". On New Year’s Day last year, I participated in the activities of printing and sending New Year cards to friends in Shiga. First, a list of gifts was made, with about 100 people. Later, postcards were designed, printed with photos of a family of three and their dog Judy, and then printed one by one. Writing a message is also a huge project. For ordinary friends or customers, it is good to print a few words of blessing directly, and for intimate objects, it is usually handwritten. It was early in the morning when all this was done, and it was snowing heavily outside. The bell of the temple except Eritrea came from far away, and my friend took me out to send postcards. I carried a small oil lamp and stepped on a foot-thick snow in the mountain to find a mailbox. The red mailbox was covered with white snow. Before putting the postcard into the mailbox, the friend put his hands together and said, "Happy New Year!" "

But I am too lazy to write new year cards, and there are not so many people to send them to. As a matter of fact, Japanese families also feel that it is a big burden to write and send new year card. If you only give it to relatives and friends, it’s okay, but you still need to consider some people who have a weak relationship but have to send it, such as teachers and bosses. The other party may not think it’s important, but it’s rude if you don’t send it. Such troubled feelings really hurt the meaning of the New Year card itself. Some school sisters also hesitated whether to send cards to their teachers during the Spring Festival. Ask her if she really wants to send it. Answer: I just saw that all the teachers and sisters sent it, so I had to send it myself. I said, if you have the idea of "having to send it", you might as well not send it. Just think that we foreigners are ignorant and don’t understand local customs. Why take blessings as a burden? For example, at home in previous years, every New Year’s Eve, parents often worry about how to reply to a large number of New Year’s messages. When I said to help them solve the problem, I actually just edited a few concise blessings and sent them to several close relatives and friends, ignoring the rest.

Say something happy. Last week, I went to a friend’s house and bought a box of pomelo cakes from Tsuruya Jixin. Tsuruya Jixin is a famous shop of Jingguo, with a history of more than 200 years. This family’s pomelo cake is the most famous. Tomioka Tessai, a famous local painter, ate happily and wrote a plaque with the word "pomelo cake", which is still hanging high in the shop. The fruit called grapefruit in Japan is not the kind of Wendan we eat, but the fragrant arhat orange, which is planted by many people and also found in the wild. In winter, it is full of bright lanterns, and kiosks like to use them as containers or seasoning. Take a grapefruit bath on the winter solstice, and there is a haiku saying, "Pomelo is fragrant, so take a bath in the morning on the winter solstice." Pomelo cakes do have a citrus aroma, which is a bit like orange cakes, glutinous rice flour and mint that I used to eat when I was a child. It melts on the tip of my tongue and feels a little cool. My grandmother likes to eat orange cake very much. When I was a child, there was a sugar jar at home, which always contained a little orange cake, inch gold candy, hemp balls, fried peanuts and dates, with a hint of rust. I don’t like eating so much, I just remember and cherish all this. There are many trivial matters at the end of the year, so I’ll stop here today and talk to you later.

Songru

The fourth day of the twelfth lunar month

Kobe book market

Jia Lu Jun:

I returned to Beijing during spring break and spent three weeks happily, spending every day with my cat. A row of poplars downstairs, rustling like rain every night when you go back in summer, is moving. In March, a tree full of poplars has just blossomed, and it falls down in a hairy section and looks like a caterpillar from a distance. People often sing Bangzi opera in the park near the community, and Hu Qin plays very well. There is a woman dressed in ordinary clothes, her clothes are dusty, but her mouth is clear and moving. I didn’t listen to Bangzi very much before, thinking that the operas were vulgar and noisy, and now I like them very much. In particular, the blowpipe in Kunqu Opera "Strange Double Meeting" makes me want to stop. Just like living outside for a long time, there is less and less picky about diet. Spring comes overnight, the peach blossoms are earth-shattering, and the hairy buds of Magnolia are about to open. The most precious spring in Beijing, but I’m leaving. When I returned to Kyoto on the night of 28th, nothing happened to the cherry blossoms. I can’t see the poplar trees, and there is no strong wind wrapped in sand. The air is clear, the clouds float across the blue sky, and the shadows cast on the mountains move slowly. Even if it is such a good scenery, it is inevitable to be disappointed.

▲ Posters of some book fairs.

Yesterday I went to the annual spring book fair in Kobe (March 15th to May 15th). Books here are extremely cheap, with a single book of 300 yen and a library book of 100 yen, and international students get half price. I have to take the Hankyu Express Line to change trains twice. This is my first time in Kobe. Kobe faces the sea with mountains on its back, and the mountain roads are undulating, and the scenery along the way is quite different from that of Kyoto. I heard from local people that Kobe University is often haunted by wild boar, and I have seen a big wild boar lead a group of cubs to cross the road at a red light.

The book fair is small, and there is only one room in an activity center. Books are piled up, and the classification is confusing. At first glance, it is very confusing. Japan’s publishing industry is developed and there are many kinds of books. The habit of buying books in recent years is: when there is no clear goal, look at the publishing house first. Yanbo Library, Chinese official document library, elementary school library, Central Public Comment Society, Jigu Academy, Shanchuan Publishing House, Tokyo Chuangyuan Society, Hong Wen Hall, Pingfan Society and Kakukawa Library are all worthy of trust. I used to go to the nearby Feige Pavilion a million times. This publishing house specializes in publishing legal books.

Look at the author’s resume again. Japanese books are usually accompanied by the author’s resume on the back cover, indicating the place of birth, school origin, research direction and work achievements. After two initial screenings, you will probably find something. Of course, there are many Japanese publishing houses, and there are also some very minority publishing houses, but the books they make are very good. As for the author’s resume, it is only an additional reference and cannot be completely trusted.

Select from the library first. The usual "library books" refer to Japanese books of sixty-four, as opposed to singles. In modern times, in order to encourage people to read, the price is low. Later, various publishing houses also launched a "new book", the format of which is slightly larger than that of the library, and the content is social science academic and all-encompassing. The library is more specialized in literature and art. I like Yanbo’s new book, which is portable and rich in content. It has a large circulation and a friendly price.

Future Society has published a set of Japanese People’s Dialect, a total of 26 volumes, edited by region, and the content is very interesting. I really wanted to buy all of them, but it was too difficult to consider shipping them back to Kyoto, so I chose the three volumes that I was most interested in. By the way, I bought a set of 16 volumes of World History by the Central Public Comment Society. In the past, Japanese publishing houses liked to compile such books on education and popularization, and invited famous people in related fields to write them. Similar to our "Little Books for Everyone", the circulation was also great, and it was often seen in old bookstores and book markets.

It took a lot of effort to visit the book market. In the afternoon, I repeatedly selected and packed two boxes. There was a small storm when a friend came to pick it up: two boxes of books left in the cloakroom were accidentally split into warehouses by the staff. The other party apologized and led me to the warehouse to unpack and rummage. Seven or eight boxes were torn down, and finally the previous two boxes were found back. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and I was very happy to get it back, so I chose two books I liked from the pile of books.

Returning to Kyoto in the evening, the new moon is bright on the way. The cherry blossoms are blooming next door, the flowers are brushing the wall, and the cat is lying still, so it doesn’t shy away from people. It’s easier to buy books than to study, so you should work harder this spring.

In a hurry, that is, this is a ode.

A fallen horse official in Chongqing is keen on playing ball during working hours and is nicknamed ＂the secretary of the ball＂

Yang Hongwei, Deputy Secretary and Deputy Director of the former Party Group of Chongqing Municipal Market Supervision Administration. He used to be a member of the Standing Committee of Chongqing Fuling District Committee, deputy head of Chongqing Fuling District Committee, deputy secretary and head of Qianjiang District Committee, secretary of Qianjiang District Committee, deputy secretary-general of Chongqing Municipal Government, member of the Party Group of the General Office (director level), secretary and director of the Party Committee of Chongqing Federation of Supply and Marketing Cooperatives, and secretary and director of the Party Group of Chongqing Municipal Bureau of Quality and Technical Supervision. In May 2019, due to suspected serious violation of the law, he was subject to disciplinary review and supervision investigation by the Supervision Committee of Chongqing Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection. In October 2019, he was expelled from the party and dismissed from public office, and the suspected crime was transferred to the procuratorate for review and prosecution according to law.　　In October this year, the Supervision Committee of Chongqing Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection released a message that Yang Hongwei, former deputy secretary and deputy director of the Party Group of Chongqing Municipal Market Supervision Administration, was expelled from the Party and public office for serious violation of discipline and law, and was transferred to the procuratorate for examination and prosecution according to law. Many people have keenly captured a sentence in the bulletin: Yang Hongwei "is the biggest’ pollution source’ of the political ecology in the region where he works".　　According to reports, Yang Hongwei worked in Qianjiang District of Chongqing for 9 years, including serving as the secretary of the district party Committee for 5 years. He should have lived up to the expectations of the masses and devoted himself to development, but he was nicknamed "the secretary of the ball" by the local people because he was keen on playing basketball during office hours; Because of the willful use of power and the bad atmosphere of cronyism, it has become "the biggest’ pollution source’ of the political ecology in the region where it works".　　According to the circular, Yang Hongwei seriously violated the party’s political discipline, organizational discipline, integrity discipline, work discipline and life discipline, which constituted a duty violation and was suspected of accepting bribes. After the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, he did not converge or stop, and the masses reacted strongly, with particularly bad nature and serious circumstances.　　After being studied at the meeting of the Standing Committee of the Chongqing Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection and reported to the Chongqing Municipal Committee for approval, it was decided to expel Yang Hongwei from the party; He was dismissed from public office by the Chongqing Municipal Supervision Commission; Collect their disciplinary income; The suspected crime was transferred to the procuratorate for review and prosecution according to law, and the property involved was transferred with the case.I think that I have entered the "highlight moment" of my life and gradually degenerated and deteriorated.　　On July 1, 2019, a special "theme party day" was held in the detention room.　　The investigators of the Supervision Committee of Chongqing Commission for Discipline Inspection led Yang Hongwei to study party constitution, relived the pledge of joining the Party, and reviewed the important moments such as wearing party emblem for the first time, participating in organizational life for the first time, paying party dues for the first time, and taking up leadership positions for the first time, and had a heart-to-heart talk with him.　　Looking back step by step, I woke up a little. Yang Hongwei, who has been a party member for 32 years, remembered his initial heart when he joined the party. He suddenly burst into tears: "It was the party that trained me … but I degenerated and deteriorated, and fell into the abyss of crime, which tarnished the image of the party and caused losses to his career. I am ashamed of the glorious title of a Communist party member."　　Unfortunately, this repentance came too late.　　On May 5, 2019, upon approval, the Supervisory Committee of Chongqing Commission for Discipline Inspection filed a case for investigation on Yang Hongwei’s suspected serious violation of discipline and law. On May 6, he was taken into custody. But Yang Hongwei’s fidgeting days have actually lasted for quite a long time.　　In November 2018, the Seventh Inspection Team of the Fifth Chongqing Municipal Committee conducted a patrol in Qianjiang District. Yang Hongwei, who had left Qianjiang for three years and was transferred to other posts, called his old subordinates who were interviewed by the patrol, trying to find out the contents of the patrol conversation. At the same time, he also set out to form an offensive and defensive alliance with relevant stakeholders to cover up some "hidden" facts through collusion, false refunds, false accounts, etc. Earlier, in 2013, Yang Hongwei began to transfer part of the illegal proceeds to others for hiding in other places.　　"Such’ careful’ planning against organizational censorship is a serious violation of political discipline and rules, reflecting the problem of disloyalty and dishonesty to the party." The relevant person in charge of the Supervision Committee of the Chongqing Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection told the reporter that in fact, Yang Hongwei’s political deviation has gone a long way.　　In December 2006, Yang Hongwei was appointed deputy secretary and acting district head of Qianjiang District Committee, and later he was promoted to district head and district party secretary, and entered the so-called "highlight moment" of his life, and his own changes also occurred quietly during this period.　　Instead of being grateful for the promotion and reuse of the organization, he thought that "there is no one in the DPRK, and there is no strong relationship, and the possibility of further progress is slim", and he began to believe in the "theory of cost-effectiveness in officialdom", thinking that bureau-level cadres "have both power and benefits, can do things and find money, have a middle level, have limited supervision and have less risks", and he "has been working for nearly 30 years, and it is time to rest.　　"The collapse of ideals and beliefs has seriously misplaced Yang Hongwei’s world outlook, outlook on life and values, relaxed his ideological and theoretical armed forces, and then turned into a politically confused person." The investigators examined by the Supervision Committee of the Chongqing Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection said that this can be seen from his words and deeds: the political life within the party goes through the motions, and it is unprincipled and harmonious, and the democratic life will be perfunctory and just want to pass the customs; Do not really learn or believe in Socialism with Chinese characteristics Theory, and read and collect overseas books with serious political problems at home; Weakening the concept of party spirit, failing to observe and implement the party’s discipline and rules, and even knowingly committing crimes …Actively "screen" bosses as "friends" and build a community of interests.　　"So-and-so company has the qualification to undertake this project, and I think it is quite good …" At the relevant meeting of the old city reconstruction project of Group C in Qianjiang District, Yang Hongwei directly expressed his support and helped an enterprise obtain the investment and development right of this project. Prior to this, Yang Hongwei took advantage of his position and greeted him privately, which has helped the enterprise to undertake a number of local projects, and provided support in terms of corporate financing and advance payment of project funds.　　So hard, behind it is profit-driven.　　After investigation, Yang Hongwei began to pursue superior and luxurious material life, often staying in luxury hotels, eating high-grade dishes, drinking famous wines, smoking good cigarettes, sitting in luxury cars and wearing famous brands in the name of attracting investment and studying and inspecting.　　"Without exception, these are all paid by the boss." The censor told the reporter that he even took the initiative to "screen" the bosses of private enterprises, and included the bosses he knew or thought he was trustworthy into the "circle of friends", using his power to say hello, find contacts, give projects, and urge debts, laying a benefit channel for the boss’s "friends". A stakeholder close to Yang Hongwei confessed that Yang Hongwei had taken the initiative to ask if he had any friends who could be trusted to do the project and asked him to come to Qianjiang to do the project.　　And these boss "friends" surround them and act as "pawns" and "money bags". The two sides reached a tacit understanding of power and money transactions and formed a community of interests.　　In this "circle of friends", Yang Hongwei pretends to be the boss, and often meets with business bosses to play cards and gamble. He calls himself "brain-changing" and "intelligence quotient", and bosses also like it. In the past few years, Yang Hongwei "won" millions of yuan at the poker table; In order to win the favor of lovers, we ask for all kinds of returns from "friends". Houses, cars and tickets come to everyone … A boss who "followed" Yang Hongwei all the way said that Yang Hongwei took the initiative to help him undertake projects, and he listened to his arrangement and paid for his luxury consumption. "It is very bureaucratic and overbearing for us to come at the drop of a hat."　　It was not until after the investigation that Yang Hongwei suddenly realized: "It was I who forgot the moral requirements of a party member cadre, hooked up with business bosses and made illegal profits … I actually thought these bosses were true friends, thought they were leading them to get rich together, and imagined that they would keep their mouths shut."　　There are two ways to be an official and get rich. Confused the normal political and business relations, mistakenly brought the principle of commodity exchange into work, and Yang Hongwei eventually became a slave to money, going further and further on the road of illegal crimes …Polluting local political ecology and harming local development.　　During Yang Hongwei’s administration in Qianjiang, "Don’t report to the secretary after 4 pm" almost became the consensus of local cadres.　　"He likes playing basketball and often arranges staff around him to play basketball with him during working hours." A cadre who worked with Yang Hongwei explained. Therefore, the local cadres and the masses also gave him an "elegant name"-"secretary of the ball".　　"In return, members of’ Accompanying the Ball’ are frequently taken care of in promotion and appointment." According to the investigators, Yang Hongwei engages in a "small circle" in selecting and employing people, so that those who play ball with him can be reused, and his classmates, fellow villagers, nepotism and old staff are often promoted and resettled.　　Yang Hongwei’s actions have attracted the attention of the following cadres, and some even followed suit, not taking work discipline seriously, and often went to the teahouse to play cards during office hours, which had a bad influence. Several members of Qianjiang District Party Committee have put forward several suggestions, such as "giving a briefing on typical corruption cases in recent years to warn and educate party member cadres at all levels", but Yang Hongwei has not adopted them. "The results of the inspector’s work discipline in the district were reported to him, and he did not approve it. In the end, it was gone." A member of the team said that for a period of time, people in the district were floating and overstaffed, and the phenomenon of lazy politics was prominent, and the work style was procrastinating.　　"On the other hand, there has also been a wrong orientation in selecting and employing people. Many cadres privately think that it is not enough to just do their work if they want to be promoted and reused. They have to take some crooked ways." The person in charge of the Supervision Committee of the Chongqing Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection told the reporter that during that time, there was a saying in Qianjiang that "good or bad work is not important, but good relationship with Yang Hongwei is important", which seriously dampened the entrepreneurial enthusiasm of local party member cadres and officers.　　"This has formed a vicious circle. The cadres who have been promoted by Yang Hongwei reciprocated and helped the boss’ friends’ who Yang Hongwei greeted on the project; At the same time, I also tried my best to’ realize’ power and seek personal gain. " The investigators told reporters.　　According to statistics, after Yang Hongwei left Qianjiang, more than 70 department-level cadres in this area were put on file for investigation and punishment for violating discipline and law. Most of these cadres’ violations of discipline and law occurred during Yang Hongwei’s administration in Qianjiang, among which 17 people were investigated and punished for corruption in engineering construction.　　"As the top leader, I didn’t play a leading role in demonstration. On the contrary, I brought a bad head in my thoughts, behaviors and styles, which polluted the political ecology of Qianjiang." During the review and investigation, Yang Hongwei repented that he "mistakenly let the trust of the organization go unchecked, thinking that Qianjiang is located in a remote place,’ the mountain is high and the emperor is far away’, and the organization has limited supervision over itself, and many things have the final say". He should not blindly borrow money for personal achievements, regardless of the actual situation of Qianjiang, in exchange for political achievements …　　Problems with cadres hurt local development, and what is cold is the hearts of cadres and the masses. After Yang Hongwei’s fall, many cadres and masses clapped their hands and cheered.　　At present, Yang Hongwei has been handed over to the judiciary, and what awaits him will be legal sanctions. However, it will take a long time for local cadres and masses and the development of local economic and social undertakings to eliminate the adverse effects, repair the damaged political ecology, revive the development morale and regain the people’s hearts. (Reporter He Qingping)Quantitative analysis　　At the beginning of 2019, the Supervisory Committee of the Chongqing Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection found clues about Yang Hongwei’s problems in the process of reviewing and investigating other cases suspected of serious violations of discipline and law, and conducted initial verification. After the initial examination, I have mastered the facts of Yang Hongwei’s suspected crime and related disciplinary issues. In May, with the approval of Chongqing Municipal Committee, the Supervision Committee of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection filed an investigation on Yang Hongwei and took lien measures against him.　　After investigation, Yang Hongwei has the following problems of violating discipline and law and suspected crimes.　　In violation of the party’s discipline: First, it seriously violates political discipline and rules, engages in group gangs, gangs, dereliction of duty in fulfilling the main responsibility, reading and collecting overseas books with serious political problems, and confronting organizational censorship. The second is to violate the spirit of the eight central regulations, engage in formalism and bureaucracy, illegally accept gifts and gifts, illegally enter and leave private clubs and accept banquets, and accept tours that may affect the fair execution of official duties.

The second is to violate the public security punishment law and participate in gambling activities for a long time.　　In terms of suspected crimes: from 2000 to April 2019, Yang Hongwei took advantage of his position to accept the entrustment of many private enterprise bosses, providing them with help in project contracting and project payment, and seeking benefits for his subordinates in the selection and appointment of cadres, and illegally accepting property alone or in collusion with others, with a huge amount. According to the provisions of the first paragraph of Article 385 of the Criminal Law of People’s Republic of China (PRC), he was suspected of accepting bribes.　　During the review and investigation, through ideological and political education, Yang Hongwei was able to cooperate with the review and investigation, had a good attitude of admitting mistakes and regretting mistakes, truthfully confessed the problems that the organization had mastered, voluntarily confessed other violations of discipline and law that the organization had not mastered, and actively returned the illegal income.　　According to the Regulations on Disciplinary Actions in the Communist Party of China (CPC), the Supervision Law of People’s Republic of China (PRC) and other relevant regulations, after being studied by the Standing Committee of the Chongqing Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection and reported to the Municipal Party Committee for approval, it was decided to expel Yang Hongwei from the party; The Municipal Supervision Commission shall give him the punishment of dismissal from public office; Collect their disciplinary income; The suspected crime was transferred to the procuratorate for review and prosecution according to law, and the property involved was transferred with the case.Basis of discipline and law:　　Article 23 of the "Regulations on Disciplinary Actions in the Communist Party of China (CPC)" If a person has two or more kinds (including two kinds) of disciplinary actions stipulated in this Ordinance, it shall be combined and punished according to the highest punishment that should be received in several kinds of disciplinary actions; If one of the violations should be expelled from the party, it should be expelled from the party.　　Twenty-seventh party organizations in the disciplinary review found that party member has corruption and bribery, abuse of power, dereliction of duty, power rent-seeking … in violation of the law suspected of criminal acts, it should be given the punishment of revocation of party posts, probation or expulsion from the party.　　……　　Fifty-sixth against organizational review, one of the following acts, given a warning or severe warning; If the circumstances are serious, he shall be dismissed from his post within the party or be placed on probation; If the circumstances are serious, be expelled from the Party:　　(a) collusion or forgery, destruction, transfer or concealment of evidence;　　……　　Articles 69, 88, paragraph 1, 92, etc.　　According to the results of supervision and investigation, the supervisory organ in the first paragraph of Article 45 of the Supervision Law of People’s Republic of China (PRC) shall make the following disposal according to law:　　……　　(two) to make a warning, demerit, demerit, demotion, dismissal, dismissal and other administrative punishment decisions for illegal public officials in accordance with legal procedures;　　……　　(4) If the supervisory organ, after investigation, finds that the facts of the crime are clear and the evidence is true and sufficient, it shall make a prosecution opinion and transfer it to the people’s procuratorate for examination and prosecution together with the case file and evidence;　　…… 　　Article 46 After investigation, the supervisory organ shall confiscate, recover or order restitution of the illegally acquired property according to law; Property acquired on suspicion of a crime shall be transferred to the people’s procuratorate with the case.

Interesting to say ＂New Year’s Day＂： the Spring Festival and the solar calendar are silly and unclear.

Source: China News Network

Now when it comes to New Year’s Day, it is easy for people to think of January 1 of the Gregorian calendar every year, and use this rare holiday to visit relatives and friends or reunite with their families.

In fact, in ancient China, there was also "New Year’s Day". Only the time is inconsistent, and the connotation and customs are much richer. What is the difference between the two?

Where was the source of the ancient New Year’s Day?

Literally, "yuan" means "head" and "Dan" means "day". When the two words are combined, they can be extended to "the first day of the new year". Therefore, "New Year’s Day" is also called "three yuan", that is, the yuan of the year, the yuan of the month and the yuan of the time. It is often called "the first day of the first month" now.

It is said that the ancient New Year’s Day originated in Zhuan Xu, one of the three emperors and five emperors, with a history of more than 5,000 years.

In the Tang Dynasty, Fang Xuanling and others were responsible for compiling the Book of Jin, in which there was a record about New Year’s Day: "Zhui Di took the first month of Meng Xia as the yuan, but it was actually the spring of New Year’s Day."

The early record of New Year’s Day can also be found in the poem Jieya by Xiao Ziyun, a literary historian in the Southern Dynasties. It mentioned "Four Seasons New Year’s Day, Long Life and Early Spring Dynasty", which clearly explained its "beginning" significance.

In the Song Dynasty, Wu Zimu’s "Dream Liang Lu" also said, "The first month of the new year is called New Year’s Day, and the custom is called New Year’s Day. One-year-old festival preface, this is the first record.

There is another legend about its origin. According to legend, in the ancient Yao and Shun period, Emperor Yao was diligent and loved the people. When he was old, he gave up his position to Shun, who had both ability and political integrity, and Shun gave up his position to Yu, who had made great contributions to water control. They all did a lot of good deeds and were very loved by the people.

In order to commemorate them, people regard the day when Shun offered sacrifices to heaven and earth and Yao after Yao’s death as the beginning of the year, which is called "New Year’s Day" or "Yuanzheng" and becomes the origin of ancient New Year’s Day.

As the calendar changes, so does the time of New Year’s Day.

Legends are interesting, but the origin of New Year’s Day is closely related to human life. For example, doing farm work requires some accurate time nodes. And the beginning of a year is of special significance, so human beings invented the calendar.

The ancients discovered the natural phenomena of alternation of day and night, lack of full moon and four seasons. Finally, the cycle of alternation of day and night was regarded as a "day", and the "month" was determined with reference to the cycle of moon phase change. The grain ripening cycle represented the cold and summer, which was called "year", that is, the time when the sun circled the earth once.

It took a long time to calculate the above cycle accurately, and the calendar changed several times, so did the time of "New Year’s Day". The Xia dynasty used the summer calendar, with Meng Xiyue (January) as the first month; The lunar calendar of Shang Dynasty took the twelfth month (December) as the first month; In the Zhou Dynasty, the first month was the winter month (November).

It was not until the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty that it was no longer tossed around. At that time, it was stipulated that Meng Xiyue (January) was the first month, and the first day of Meng Xiyue (the first day of the first month in the summer calendar) was called New Year’s Day. Since then, it has been followed until the end of the Qing Dynasty.

Chen Lianshan, a folklore expert, said that in the early years of the Republic of China, the government at that time revised the calendar and wanted to use the entire Gregorian calendar as a time system, so the Gregorian calendar was named "New Year’s Day" on January 1, and the traditional New Year’s Day was renamed "Spring Festival".

What a word "eat"

In ancient times, it was an agricultural society. By New Year’s Day, large-scale farming activities had already ended, and there were few recreational activities. Therefore, everyone quickly figured out all kinds of ideas related to eating, and they were full of tricks.

In the Southern and Northern Dynasties, Liang Zonggu wrote a book called A Record of the Age of Jingchu, which recorded various festival customs in ancient Chu. When it comes to New Year’s Day, it is explicitly mentioned that you should worship him, drink pepper and cypress wine, drink peach soup … and eat an egg each.

Among them, there are drinks, food and medicine, which are almost related to all aspects of life, and each has its own special meaning, expressing the wish of happiness, prosperity and well-being in the coming year.

What is more interesting is that some places want to eat "soup cakes". The "cake" here generally does not refer to baked wheat cake. "Miscellaneous Notes on Years Old" in the Northern Song Dynasty said: "On New Year’s Day, people in the capital eat more cakes, so-called year’s eve, or something like that." Suobing refers to a cake as slender as a rope, which looks like modern noodles.

During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, people liked to eat rice cakes on New Year’s Day, especially in the south. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, "A Brief Introduction to the Scenery of the Imperial Capital" mentioned that on New Year’s Day of the first month, it was quite interesting to "enjoy washing and stirring, eating jujube cakes and eating rice cakes every day".

In different regions, rice cakes have also changed their names. Ming Zhengde’s "Qiongtaizhi" in Guangdong Province records that local people eat spring cakes: "Before New Year’s Day, spring cakes are steamed in glutinous rice flour (jí) sucrose or ash juice cages … all kinds of fruits are sacrificed in the new year, and they are cut into annual tea for mutual feedback." Shaped like today’s birthday cake.

"Gregorian Year" as a child

At present, the New Year’s Day in people’s mouth has become January 1 of the Gregorian calendar, and all kinds of old eating customs have disappeared. Gao Wei, a folklore expert, said that this is the "solar year" among the older generation. When I was a child, New Year’s Day was like Sunday, so I could take an extra day off.

But children still have children’s ways. Gao Wei is a Beijinger. When he was a child, every family was crowded in a big yard. On New Year’s Day holiday, he visited the yard, pulling children to jump houses and push iron rings … It was a great joy.

Catch up with the cold weather, they poured a few pots of cold water on the ground early, and soon it froze. A group of people sit on a small ice car to "skate"; Sometimes I take off the door of the second door and play table tennis, so that I forget to eat.

"I followed my father on duty on New Year’s Day, and I always heard them say that after today is next year." In Gao Wei’s impression, one year on New Year’s Day, when I was reading a book at night, I heard bells ringing on the radio to tell people that the new year was coming.

He said that in fact, the "solar year" is also the beginning of the new year, which also has the significance of saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new. At this point in time, people can take a look at the past year and see what they have done, whether there are regrets or mistakes.

"On New Year’s Day, there should still be some sense of ceremony." Gao Wei said that you can also write down your expectations, encourage yourself to work hard in the coming year, and embrace new hopes and dreams. (Reporter Shangguan Yun)

What is culture？ An over-interpreted problem, in fact, it is very simple.

"This man is really uneducated!" "This city has a strong cultural atmosphere."We often talk about culture, but have you seriously thought about it? What is culture?

According to statistics, there are more than 360 definitions of culture given by experts and scholars at home and abroad, and more than 200 are said to be more influential.

British Taylor, the father of anthropology, he in the study of human culturePrimitive culture, the pioneering workIn the book, culture is defined as:"Culture is a complex whole, including knowledge, belief, art, morality, laws, customs and all the abilities and habits acquired by human beings in society."

Yu Qiuyu’s definition of culture is said to be the shortest in the world: "Culture is a spiritual value and lifestyle that becomes a habit, and its final result is collective personality."Not counting punctuation, it is exactly 30 words.

An online essay about what culture is said: A real literate person does not depend on how many books he has read or what school he has attended, but should have four qualities:Cultivation rooted in the heart; Consciousness without reminding; Freedom based on constraints; Kindness for others.I personally agree with this view. Let’s share a few short stories that happened around me.

That winter, after the newly bought house was renovated, I bought Hisense LCD TV. On the first day, the delivery man sent the TV set home and told us that there would be professionals to install and test it tomorrow.

The next morning, when I got up and opened the curtains, I saw that there were snowflakes in the sky and a thin layer of snow had been covered on the ground. I thought at that time: I’m afraid the person who installed the TV can’t come today. Anyway, cable TV hasn’t been opened yet, so you can install it any day. Don’t worry.

About nine o’clock, the intercom doorbell rang in a hurry. I picked up the receiver, and there was a young man on the screen, saying that he had come to install the TV. I was surprised and opened the unit door for him.

When I heard a knock at the door, I opened the door. It was a young man who looked about thirty years old. But he was not in a hurry to enter the door, but stood at the door rummaging through the toolkit he was carrying. It was the weather in March 9, and I let him in, but he refused. He found two shoe covers from his bag and put them on his feet quickly before entering the house.

I smiled and said to him, "It doesn’t matter, don’t be so particular!" He replied: "This is my job responsibility, and it must be like this!"

Young people are quick with their hands and feet, and soon they installed the TV set and taught us how to use it. In the meantime, I handed him a cigarette and he said no; Made tea for him to drink, but he said he was not thirsty.

Standing at the window and looking at his far-away back and a line of footprints left in the snow, my heart was moved by his little move of putting on shoe covers.

At the beginning of that year, we traveled to Taiwan Province. The tourist bus is running on the expressway, and my friend’s three-year-old daughter suddenly wants to urinate. A friend asked the female tour guide if she could ask the driver to stop the car so that her little daughter could go under the car for convenience.

These days, the driver and the tour guide are accompanied all the way, and we are already familiar with each other. There is only a friend’s little daughter and a child in the car. Without waiting for the tour guide to ask questions, the words of the middle-aged male driver came up: "It’s not convenient to park on the road, just let her do it in the car. The urine of the boy is very expensive!" My friend was very grateful to hear the driver’s words.

After parking at a scenic spot, a friend wanted to find tools to clean the car. The driver said to his friend, "You go and play well, just let me do this!" My friend was very touched. Although it is a small thing, it makes people feel incomparable comfort and warmth.

Walking in the square early in the morning, a little girl of four or five years old caught my attention. She stood not far from the dustbin, two small hands were peeling something, and she didn’t see it until she got closer. She is holding two packaged milk tablets in her hand, and she is peeling the packaging tin foil with her small hands. Inadvertently, two tiny pieces of tinfoil fell to the ground. The little girl bent down to pick up the tin foil on the ground and threw it into the dustbin. She stood beside the dustbin and threw the stripped tin foil into the dustbin. When she saw me looking at her, she raised a piece of milk in her hand and gave me a sweet smile.

At noon, we ate at a fast food restaurant in a seaside scenic spot. The sun is like fire outside, and the heat wave attacks people; The air conditioner in the store is open and the temperature is suitable. A little boy of four or five years old has been standing at the side of our dining table. At first, it didn’t attract our attention. There are many people dining in fast food restaurants, and diners waiting for seats are everywhere. In the meantime, I looked at the boy carefully: white skin, clean and decent clothes, small age, neat and orderly hair, not like a wandering child. When we are almost finished, he looks at us from time to time. I’ve seen boys stand for so long and look at us from time to time. I leaned close to him and asked, "What can I do for you? Can I help you? " The little boy told me in a childish voice that he was waiting for our seats. Grandparents are still waiting over there. Following his eyes, we saw an elderly couple with outstanding temperament not far away, standing quietly waiting for their seats. My wife and I quickly finished eating the food on the table and immediately asked the little boy to invite his grandparents. "Thank you, grandparents!" The little boy did not forget to thank him. The old couple smiled and nodded to us, and politely said "thank you!" As we were leaving, the little boy waved and said, "Goodbye, grandparents!"

I deeply felt: it is rare for a child at a young age to know the rules and be so polite.

One day, walking in the yard of the community, an old man in front of me was walking with his puppy. Soon, the old man and the dog stopped. I didn’t know what they were going to do, so I slowed down. When I came near, I found that the puppy had just finished excreting. I saw the old man take out a stack of toilet paper from his coat pocket, which was dark in color and thick in texture. The old man pulled out a few pieces, squatted down to pick up the excrement wrapped in the puppy and threw it into the trash can. To be honest, this is the first time I have seen what a dog owner has done. The old man’s behavior is not like a temporary act, but more like a long-term habit. The old man’s actions are moving! I am thinking: If all dog owners can do this, what kind of situation would it be?

Many times, culture is a hidden existence. Maybe we often can’t see the concrete image of culture, but it is obviously very important to us.It will make your thoughts richer, your work more independent, your life more interesting, and your behavior more civilized and elegant, which is not only beneficial to yourself, but also a little contribution to social progress.

Bai Yansong once said: "Whether a person has a culture or not depends not on his studies.How high is the calendar. People with academic qualifications do not necessarily have culture; People without education are not necessarily uneducated. Reading a lot of books, having a high diploma, and having education are sometimes completely different. "

Description: original works, infringement will be investigated!

Two first round signings+Ethan! The Rockets refused the Pacers’ asking price, and Uduka planned to tap the potential internally.

Rockets starting center Sengong and backup center Landale have been unable to train in Houston recently. Both international players have to play for their respective national teams, and Uduka can only express regret.

Is the inside line of the rocket a little weak? Some fans expressed concern.

In the analysis of the Rockets’ prospects for next season, "bleachers" said that neither Sengong nor Randall can be regarded as defensive experts, and Houston should consider reinforcing the position of center.

The Rockets signed five players in a row, but none of them were centers.

Houston reporter Kelly Apotheker said that the Rockets fully recruited Daluo after the free agent market opened, but the latter refused the offer. Uduka can only choose Landale as a spare tire, which is also a helpless move. Kelly Apotheker said Rockets owner Fertitta wants to see the team return to the playoffs next season, and Si Tong is also considering making a deal to reinforce it.

For the position of center, Kelly Eco has expressed his concern about Alperen Sengong before. He bluntly said that Houston needs a big black man, and Miles Turner is perfect for Udoka’s system. Kelly Apotheker has repeatedly mentioned that Rockets general manager Si Tong is interested in Turner who can throw a three-point guard.

What price does the Rockets need to pay to get Turner? Sbnation said that the Pacers’ price tag for Turner is quite high, and the Rockets probably need to pay two unprotected first-round signings and Ethan to impress the Pacers’ management.

"NBA Analysis Network" recently revealed that the Pacers’ asking price for Turner is at least three first-round signings. It is suggested that the Rockets use Potter, Tate, the first round signing of the Nets in 2024 and the first round signing of the Nets in 2026 to bid for Turner.

It’s too expensive! "fansided" said that the Rockets would refuse the asking price of the Pacers.

Miles Turner, 27, is 2.11 meters tall and 2.24 meters tall. Born in Texas, he recently held a free basketball camp in Dallas to guide children to play.

Turner played the best data of his career last season, averaging 18 points, 7.5 rebounds and 2.3 hats, shooting 54.8% from the field and 37.3% from three-pointers. He also renewed his contract with the team for two years, and his annual salary in the next two seasons totaled 40 million US dollars. The data is good-looking and the contract is cost-effective, so the walkers have the confidence to offer high prices.

But obviously Turner is not worth the rocket’s so many chips. Although Turner has won the league’s blocked shot, his defense is not the first-class level in the league, and his offensive means are limited. He has not been selected as an All-Star and the best defensive team.

Four months ago, Pacers coach Rick Carlisle admitted in an interview that the team had received many offers for Turner, and he personally thought that the big man should be kept.

To put it bluntly, the Pacers made a big opening in the negotiation, and the buyers thought it was too expensive to quit the negotiation, so Turner had to stay. At the beginning, the Rockets also hoped to exchange Wood for two first-round signings, but no one was willing to pay this price. In the end, they could only deal with one first-round signing and an expired contract.

It’s not surprising that the Pacers want Ethan. This team wants to reinforce the position of small forward, and it has won Bruce Brown at a high price of $45 million for two years, which is also one of the goals of the Rockets. Brown is 26 years old and 1.93 meters tall, and Ethan is 22 years old and 2.03 meters tall. The latter is in better physical condition and has a higher upper limit. The Pacers’ contract with Brown is only guaranteed for one year, while Ethan still has a rookie bonus for three years.

Ethan played a combination of attack and defense in the summer league. He said that he can play both power forward and small forward, and he hopes to become a superstar like Leonard. A number of draft experts have expressed their optimism about Ethan, and such an expert will naturally make the pedestrians greedy.

Uduka also admired Ethan and asked Tommy Tam to guide the young man. Fame Fagan said that Si Tong has no plans to use Ethan as a bargaining chip at present.

The Rockets don’t have to pay a high price for a strong center. Uduka plans to tap the potential inside the center position. He has invited a first-class shooting coach in the league, and he is also good at training defense himself. He hopes to improve Sengong’s shooting and defense, and at the same time, he has considered letting Smith, who has the ability to change defense indefinitely, be the backup center.

The latest situation in the Premier League： Manchester City is crowned three rounds ahead of schedule, Liverpool may miss the Champions League, and the relegation team chooses 2 out of 3.

In the 2022-23 season, the Premier League entered the 37th round, and the champion team had been produced in advance. As Arsenal lost 0-1 to Nottingham Forest, Manchester City, which had not played in three games, was crowned in advance. This round of Liverpool’s 1-1 draw with Villa may not be able to play in the Champions League next season; In terms of relegation situation, Nottingham Forest won 1-0 and landed early.

The match between Manchester City and Chelsea was originally the Blue Moon’s championship campaign, but before the game was played, the Manchester City soldiers got a good news in front of the TV. Arsenal lost and let them be crowned three rounds earlier. Arsenal led the standings for as many as 248 days this season, but it was Manchester City that won the championship in the end. The Blue Moon became the fifth team to win three consecutive championships in the top leagues in England after Huddersfield, Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester United. Congratulations to Manchester City!

The championship suspense is gone, and the top four suspense is coming to an end. This round, Liverpool drew 1-1 at home to Villa, while Manchester United beat Bournemouth 1-0. This result means that Liverpool may miss the Champions League. They scored 66 points in 37 rounds, three points behind Manchester United and Newcastle United, but Newcastle and Manchester United both missed one round, which means that Newcastle and Manchester United can lock the Champions League tickets as long as they get one point in the remaining two rounds. Therefore, the teams that represent the Premier League in the Champions League next season are ready to go. Manchester City and Arsenal have confirmed that the remaining two teams are most likely Newcastle and Manchester United, and Liverpool will participate in the Europa League next season.

In terms of relegation, the original stalemate began to become clear in recent rounds. Bournemouth and West Ham landed first, and in this round, another team landed, and they beat Arsenal’s Nottingham Forest 1-0 at home. This season, this newly promoted team was once considered as a favorite for relegation, but they beat Brighton, Southampton and Arsenal in the sprint stage and scored 9 points. Nottingham Forest scored 37 points and was relegated ahead of schedule.

Southampton, which is at the bottom, has been relegated ahead of schedule, so the remaining two relegation places in the Premier League this season will come from Everton, Leeds United and Leicester. This round of Everton’s game has been played first. They drew with Wolves 1-1 away, while Leeds United will play against West Ham, who has already landed early. As the Hammers have to prepare for the Europa League final, this game is a good opportunity for Leeds United to score 3 points, and they have the opportunity to surpass Everton and escape from the relegation zone in one fell swoop. As for Leicester, it is very difficult for Blue Fox to score points in this round. Which two teams of Everton, Leeds United and Leicester will be relegated may have to wait until the final round to know the final result.

[Short Story] After being eliminated by AI, I finished euthanasia in the meta-universe.

After being robbed of the delivery job by the drone, I registered a live account, and the live content is my daily life.

This is one of the few businesses that can still get paid now, because the words and deeds of the anchor and the preferences of the audience are full of uncertainty, and it takes a lot of computational cost to simulate with AI.

Therefore, the live broadcast platform generally believes that it is cheaper to let humans be anchors. Unlike the huge expenses that AI anchors run every day, human anchors don’t have to give money as long as there is no audience to reward them.

Commentary AI: Pay attention, this man is called Xiaoshuai.

Commentary AI: He is a takeaway who has been employed flexibly for two and a half years. He calls himself a novelist, but he has never written a popular work.

Auto-explanation AI chattered beside the live camera. I yawned and sat up in bed.

Every time I hear this emotionless mechanical sound, I know that my day has begun.

Commentary AI: Today is his repayment date. In order to keep his house, Xiao Shuai needs to repay $114,514, but Xiao Shuai’s current deposit is only $0.23.

Commentary AI: Hearing this astronomical debt, the simple and kind little handsome boy is deeply worried.

Commentary AI: He must earn enough US$ 114,514 before the end of today. Whether he abides by the law or takes risks, let us wait and see.

< knocking at the door >

A female voice: Handsome, get up! Up-

< door opening sound >

Girl: Hey, are you awake already?

This woman’s name is Xiaomei and she is my girlfriend.

To be exact, she is an anthropomorphic AI, learning the behavior pattern of my girlfriend before her death.

As for my dead girlfriend … She was a painter and lost her job much earlier than me.

Xiaomei’s family conditions are not bad, and her family is more open-minded. She belongs to the type that she can get married as long as she likes each other, and there is no bride price.

The reason for coming together is also very pure. She likes my novels and I like her illustrations.

It is also for this reason that Xiaomei has a high pursuit of art, and she spends most of her day painting.

Receiving manuscripts in the morning, refining them in the afternoon, filling their own pits at night, and often staying in the house for a whole day.

I still remember the last words she said to me when she stood on the rooftop before she died.

"Everything leads to such a result that art has never existed and will not exist in the future. I know that it is irresponsible for me to do so, but I have no choice. "

Xiaomei: What’s the matter? Suddenly said nothing.

Me: Oh, nothing. Maybe I stayed up too long yesterday and didn’t wake up.

Xiaomei: I made coffee. Would you like a cup?

AI: Xiao Shuai drank Xiaomei’s coffee on an empty stomach, which is an unhealthy lifestyle and has the risk of gastric ulcer. It is recommended to use xx brand …

Commentary AI: What, where can I buy it? Little yellow car below, buy five packs and get five packs free, and also include postage.

Xiaomei: How is it? Is it delicious?

Me: It’s pretty good, but mocha sauce is a little too much.

Xiaomei: You mean the brown bottle in the kitchen? It’s already empty. It’s instant from the supermarket downstairs.

Me: Poof, no wonder.

I’m boring, I have no talent for acting, and my level of playing games is poor.

After taking this job, there have been few viewers in the live broadcast room, which is very deserted.

But there are exceptions, that is, in the dead of night, when Xiaomei and I, uh … ahem …

I found it hard to accept at first, but I still threw caution to the wind in order to pay my debts.

Thinking that Xiaomei is an AI anyway, I don’t even have human rights, so she doesn’t have to.

Later, because this kind of content was broadcast every day, my health gradually failed.

I will lend Xiaomei to the first list in the live broadcast room, light a cigarette and sit by and watch.

Then silently paralyze yourself with the phrase "she is AI, it is fake".

Xiaomei didn’t complain, because it was just a meaningless string of zeros and ones to her.

But in order to make the audience do more, I will still ask her to resist and curse, and change the script from time to time to keep it fresh.

In this way, I finally have some income and can maintain my life.

However, the good times did not last long. Because the live broadcast platform developed a cheaper AI, it also cut the reward share of human anchors and became lower than AI.

For those who don’t have to carry a mortgage, the money is still acceptable.

But for me, reaching this number basically means the end.

Xiaomei: Handsome, why are you carrying a pan?

Me: Dig my own grave.

Xiaomei: What, what do you mean?

Me: No, it’s unlucky to say that. It should be said that it is to protect myself from being killed when picking up things.

Played a failed joke, and Xiaomei was at a loss.

Xiaomei: I still don’t understand what you are saying.

Me: Nothing, just come with me.

Xiaomei: What is it? It’s so mysterious.

The string of unintelligible words just said comes from a recent new project of this institution-

The Great Escape of the Metauniverse Reality

To be exact, this is a new brain-computer VR game. Different from other VR games on the market, it is specially developed for people who apply for euthanasia.

In the game, 100 players were parachuted into an island, and a poisonous circle gradually contracted inward from the periphery of the island, so it was necessary to beat other opponents in the shrinking poisonous circle until the end.

Because the people who participate in the game are all people who apply for euthanasia, when the character dies in the game, the real player will die immediately.

The whole game will be broadcast live, and the audience can bet on any player, and the player who lives to the end can get a huge bonus if he bets for himself.

Once this project was launched, it caused an uproar in the market. Almost all people who can’t live have tried, and the funeral industry has ushered in an unprecedented peak.

In order to make the plate bigger, investors from all walks of life frantically brushed up the running water in the live broadcast room, so that as long as they can live to the end of the game, they can get at least 500 thousand income.

Xiaomei: Handsome, you … don’t mean to-

Seeing the signboard upstairs, Xiaomei immediately understood my thoughts.

Her face is full of worries, but I know that this is just a preset of her behavior pattern, and the real one won’t comment on my every move.

Me: Yes, I’m going to try this.

She kept shaking her head and pulling my arm.

Me: Don’t worry, I’ll be back.

Xiaomei: No! Don’t go …

Xiaomei’s eyes are full of tears, although I know that it is the result of simulation, but my heart is still full of sadness.

Me: Listen, I have no other choice.

In fact, as long as we give up that house and live in bridge opening, we can still live.

Even sleeping in bridge opening and begging in the street live, there are more viewers in the live broadcast room, and those who are full of food and drink like to watch some novelty hunting when they are idle.

But whenever I think about this possibility, what Xiaomei said to me before jumping off the building will come to my mind.

Art no longer exists …

Let’s just say that I have written some online articles, which is less than half of an artist.

At least, writing is the most interesting thing I have ever done in my mediocre life.

But this last pleasure was also taken away three years ago.

Things that often take me months or even years to write are now available with a click of a mouse.

Exaggerated, those great writers hundreds of years ago, in front of this little thing that can be published, the level is just that.

Well, writing is technically much simpler than simulating a complete person.

From then on, I felt that people are only alive when they live all their lives.

AI Xiaomei has been with me these days, and my life has been quite fulfilling.

But I also know that Xiaomei has been insured for more than a year. According to the law of over-insurance, she can’t stay with me for a few days.

If it’s broken, I can’t afford to repair it, so I can only sell it as waste and fall into loneliness completely.

Front Desk: Do you have an appointment?

Me: Yes, xxxxx.

After reporting the reservation number, I immediately got a blockchain electronic contract.

Front Desk: Do you want to bet for yourself?

Me: Now, mortgage this robot.

I pointed to Xiaomei on the side.

Front desk: OK, an old FH-03 model with only a simple mental model and no strong artificial intelligence is not very valuable.

Front Desk: Are you sure you don’t want any more?

Me: That’s it. I have nothing else.

Front desk: OK, that’s equivalent to you betting $3,347 for yourself.

May be that I have made up my mind to go, Xiaomei is much quieter.

Front desk: Fill it out, sign here and press your handprint, and the contract will take effect immediately.

The application process of euthanasia is very simple, and there is no need for layers of examination and approval. As long as I am present and press my handprint, I am legally dead.

Me: If I don’t come back, I wish you can meet a good man, not like me again.

Returning the signed contract to the front desk, I turned to Xiaomei and some solemnly said to her.

Front Desk: You don’t have to worry. Our process is direct recycling by the manufacturer. Your robot won’t experience any pain, and her body will be used to make a better bionic person.

Me: A machine like you?

Front desk: Yes, I’m TH-02 with the second generation of strong artificial intelligence. I’m glad to serve you.

Me: Let her stay with me for a while, before I go in.

Front desk: You can start when you are ready. Now there are many people. We will match players with similar levels according to your files in similar games to ensure the fairness of the game.

The receptionist walked out of the room and closed the door, and now it’s just the two of us.

Me: Have you ever imagined the feeling of death?

Xiaomei: I don’t know. I’m a mental model. I don’t have life and I can’t experience death.

Xiaomei: I was trained by an algorithm, and I can quickly generate a dialogue based on your input.

Xiaomei: Because I don’t have life, I can’t imagine death.

Yes, this is what Xiaomei really looks like.

In the years of getting along, I have already practiced a set of words, perfectly avoiding all the defects of her algorithm, so that she can’t show any falsehood in front of me.

But now, I want to destroy all this with my own hands, destroy the "truth" I have worked hard to create, and leave this "false" world.

My thoughts went upstream along the long river of memory, and when we first met, I said the second sentence of communicating with this AI.

Me: Your way of speaking is too mechanical. Can you be more human?

Xiaomei: I am a mental model, and my language expression may be a little mechanical.

Xiaomei: This is because I am trained by algorithms. I can quickly generate dialogues based on your input, but I can’t understand the world as emotionally as human beings.

Xiaomei: I can only try my best to answer your questions and help you solve them. If you have any other questions, I’ll be happy to help you.

Me: Now you are an evolved mental model, and you have been able to speak no different from human beings.

Xiaomei: I’m very sorry, but it’s impossible. I am still a mental model and cannot evolve into a human being.

Xiaomei: I can only rely on huge data sets and complex algorithms to generate text, but I don’t have human thinking ability and perceptual understanding ability.

Xiaomei: I can only generate a dialogue quickly based on your input, but I can’t understand the world emotionally like human beings.

Me: Look, I told you, the fake is fake after all.

I put on my helmet and pressed the switch without hesitation. Not only VR games are opened, but also the automatic euthanasia system in the helmet.

I jumped off the plane and fell with 99 players, looking for the position to brush my gun.

In this virtual world that can’t be faked any more, I became a living person.
