Food with preservatives is healthy?

The main function of preservatives in food is to inhibit the reproduction of harmful bacteria and prevent bacteria and molds from producing toxins in food or causing diseases in large quantities. From this point of view, they are more successful than ever. Because the food processing industry in modern society is very developed and food poisoning is rare, people often ignore the "power" of harmful microorganisms.

Application of artificial intelligence in judicial field

In just 50 years, the rapid development of judicial (legal) artificial intelligence is amazing, especially in recent years, artificial intelligence has a tendency to replace legal persons. In foreign countries, examples of the application of artificial intelligence in the judicial field can be traced back to the 1970s. Developed countries such as the United States have developed legal reasoning systems, legal simulation analysis systems and expert systems based on artificial intelligence technology for judicial practice.

China first applied artificial intelligence to judicature in the 1980s, and Zhu Huarong and Xiao Kaiquan presided over the establishment of a mathematical model of larceny sentencing. In 1993, Professor Zhao Tingguang developed a practical criminal law expert system, which has the functions of searching and consulting criminal law knowledge, reasoning and judging criminal cases and qualitative sentencing.

Today, with the full implementation of key projects such as smart courts and smart procuratorial work in China, the Supreme People’s Court launched the "Smart Court Navigation System" and "Intelligent Case Push System" in 2018, as well as the "Judge Rui" intelligent judgment system in Beijing, the "2006" intelligent auxiliary case handling system in Shanghai, the "Smart Trial 1.0" trial auxiliary system in Hebei and artificial intelligence products launched by other local courts for the trial of judges.

As we have seen, along the way, judicial artificial intelligence is constantly innovating and breaking through the cognitive limits of human beings. Indeed, the application prospect of artificial intelligence in the judicial field is very broad, and many scholars even boldly speculate that with the revolutionary development of artificial intelligence technology, legal persons will gradually be replaced. However, although this new thing has inspired us to think infinitely about the future, we should remain sober, keep some bottom lines while promoting its development, do not have blind expectations and conduct research without direction, and objectively evaluate and use it cautiously within the limits of legal principles and ethics. We will discuss this in detail below.

Application Status of Artificial Intelligence in Judicial Field

(A) legal questions and answers, information processing data

Judicial artificial intelligence is becoming electronic and data-based in legal retrieval and information processing, and this trend will continue in full swing. Such as legal question and answer, pre-litigation consultation, electronic file generation, remote filing, etc. all belong to online information processing technology. During this period, the artificial intelligence used has no independent thinking process, and it is still operated by people in substance. Its core lies in the transformation from traditional offline case handling to online mode, which provides convenience for the parties and case handlers. Among them, the legal question answering robot seems to be closer to the artificial intelligence imagined in our minds. By searching the fixed questioning mode set in advance in the robot system to obtain the required information, it cannot generate additional answers according to different difficult questions, but it can still meet the needs of ordinary cases.

Another example is file OCR recognition, trial speech recognition, evidence recognition and so on, which are perceptual intelligence technologies, which are greatly improved compared with traditional scanning and recording technologies. Taking the trial speech recognition as an example, Linxi voice assistant in Iflytek has optimized the recognition of Chinese accent, and the speech recognition rate has reached over 90%. Compared with the court clerk’s manual input of written materials, the court trial speech recognition technology greatly improves the efficiency of court trial records. After comparative testing, the court trial time is shortened by 20% to 30% on average, the complicated court trial time is shortened by more than 50%, and the integrity of court trial records reaches 100%. In addition, the popularization of this technology can solve the biggest drawback of using audio and video recording technology to record the trial process, that is, the dialect problem in China, which avoids the difficulty of understanding caused by the difficulty of recording recognition in the later stage. Secondly, compared with the carrier of audio and video recording, the identified and transformed electronic book materials are more targeted, more convenient and faster to consult, and are playing the role of liberating clerks.

(2) Automation of document making and case pushing.

In document making and case pushing, judicial artificial intelligence plays a more intelligent role than basic information processing. For most simple cases, such as dangerous driving, small loan disputes, government information disclosure, etc., which can simplify reasoning and use elements and format judgment documents, the automatic judgment document generation system can automatically identify and extract key contents such as party information, litigation requests, case facts and so on through OCR, semantic analysis and other technologies, and generate simplified judgment documents with one click according to the corresponding template. It is even more obvious for the generation of other legal documents, and it can also correct errors automatically, thus greatly shortening the time of drafting documents, reducing the workload of judges and helping judges improve the quality and efficiency of handling cases.

For example, the "Smart Trial Support" system developed by Hebei Higher People’s Court includes such a document production function. It was launched in July 2016 and applied in 194 courts in Hebei. As of June 2017, a total of 110,000 cases were handled in less than one year, and 780,000 documents were generated. In this way, we can build our own case information base, search for similar cases by classifying and matching marks, and automatically screen cases with high similarity in the past when judges handle cases, so as to realize the push reminder of similar cases and provide reference for judges to try similar cases. In this way, the problems of "different judgments on similar cases" and "inconsistent application of laws" can be avoided as far as possible, which is conducive to unifying the local judicial judgment scale and preventing unfair judgment.

(C) case analysis, intelligent referee.

Artificial intelligence reduces the burden of handling trivial daily affairs. In this context, we not only hope that artificial intelligence will play a role in quantifiable and inefficient links, but also expect to further exert its intelligent advantages, thus improving judicial efficiency. Therefore, it has become an important topic to apply it to case analysis and adjudication. In the initial stage of case analysis, by setting the principle of diversion and adjusting the distinguishing elements of complexity and simplicity, the intelligent case-splitting system can handle all kinds of cases in a fine way. In the process of platform operation, the weight coefficients are integrated according to the characteristics of different cases, such as criminal, civil and administrative cases, so as to scientifically calculate the handling power required for each case, help the court to realize the diversion of complexity and simplicity of cases, rationally allocate judicial resources, and ease the pressure of "too many cases". In the in-depth analysis of the case and the auxiliary judgment, the "Judge Rui" system of Beijing court can automatically sort out the facts to be tried before the trial, generate the trial outline and push it to the trial system. The biggest highlight of Shanghai "206 System" is the guidance function of evidence standard and evidence rules, which realizes the intelligent examination of evidence materials and provides standardized guidance for case handlers. In addition, the "AI Judge" launched by Ali has established a complete set of trial knowledge maps for transaction disputes, which can quickly analyze the case and give the judge advice in a very short time.

In a word, the deep combination of justice and artificial intelligence has been discussed in the theoretical circle, and some aspects of the application of artificial intelligence products have been ahead of the theory, and the reform of the judicial system is also the general trend. But this does not mean that the current research and application are completely scientific and effective, and the application space and limit of judicial artificial intelligence need to be carefully scrutinized.

The application limit of artificial intelligence in the judicial field

(a) in breadth can not cover the whole process of judicial activities

At present, judicial artificial intelligence is concentrated in the process of repetitive and inefficient labor and simple reasoning based on the model, which can assist in dealing with transactional work. It is still very successful in areas where general technology is mature, such as online information processing (electronic information) and the application of voice recognition technology, which really provides great convenience for judicial activities. However, we find that both online information processing and speech recognition are widely used technologies in daily life, and the success of these applications depends on the universal application of mature artificial intelligence technologies. Taking speech recognition as an example, the speech input method that we usually use in smart phones is the most common embodiment of this technology, but it is more accurate and perfect in the trial. Although the scene is different, its essence is unchanged.

It can be seen that most of the artificial intelligence products that are successfully and widely used at present are transplanted into some judicial activities by slightly improving the general technology, while for other judicial links, such as the fact finding of difficult cases, the proof of evaluation evidence, legal interpretation, etc., it is impossible to meet their needs only by the maturity of general technology. It is necessary to "customize" specialized products through the infusion of informal logic and judicial experience, so that they can meet most judicial problems and thus run through the whole judicial activities. The key is whether this "customization" can be achieved? This not only means highly developed R&D level as the support, but also needs to deeply integrate artificial intelligence, legal knowledge, judicial experience and other factors, so that artificial intelligence has the logic and thinking of legal person, and its difficulty is much higher than the development of daily general technology. Therefore, if artificial intelligence technology is expected to cover the whole process of judicial activities, it is not difficult for us to conclude that this kind of "customization" is difficult or even impossible.

(B) in depth can not replace the judge’s value measurement.

As mentioned above, judicial artificial intelligence has been successfully applied in information retrieval, document making, intelligent identification, evidence guidance and so on. For some simple cases, it can also realize auxiliary reasoning and put forward sentencing suggestions. Its powerful data processing ability has greatly reduced the burden of judges engaged in daily trivial work. Although there are related studies that show that the prediction accuracy obtained by applying artificial intelligence to predict the referee results is much higher than that of human beings, can artificial intelligence replace judges, as some people pursue?

Artificial intelligence is a technology about data, which depends on human beings to design and program it. It can only absorb and process the existing knowledge and information input by human beings in a patterned way. Although its mastery of existing knowledge far exceeds that of human beings, its fatal defect lies in its inability to adapt to the ever-changing changes in human society. As an immediate reflection of the real society, the application of law is normal to integrate the general concept of social justice into the value measurement of judicial decisions, which is a very complicated process, and it is difficult for machines to learn "value judgment with human touch". Judicial judgment is about the art of experience. American Justice Holmes said that the life of law lies in experience rather than logic. He asked judges to give each case a unique judgment value according to the constant changes of social life and not to be bound by the inherent legal logic. This requires an interactive cognitive process between legal norms and life, and draws conclusions through complex value judgments. From this point of view, artificial intelligence judges can only judge cases according to the pre-set formal instructions, and follow the human control step by step. Without human participation and input, machine learning will not happen autonomously, let alone independent thinking, and it will not meet the contextual needs of judges in the process of value judgment. As Judge Holmes said, law is not pure logic and ultimate rationality, and experience, morality and warmth should also be considered in judicial adjudication. After all, people who only know the law may not be qualified as judges, let alone machines that only know the law.

Application prospect and outlet of judicial artificial intelligence

(A) judicial artificial intelligence: good steel used in the blade.

The biggest advantage of artificial intelligence is that it directly serves people. By intervening in all aspects of judicial activities, it plays an important role in information storage, data operation, simple reasoning, etc. With these auxiliary functions, case handlers can extricate themselves from repetitive and transactional work to the maximum extent, and can also find and correct some details in time, so that they can really invest their time and energy in analyzing difficult cases and realize the optimal allocation of judicial resources. Not only that, artificial intelligence intervention in the judicial process can also constrain the judge’s behavior in the process of handling cases, correct the judge’s subjective prejudice, expand the judge’s cognitive ability, and reduce the negative impact of subjective factors such as intuition on the judge’s value judgment.

In judicial practice, artificial intelligence as an auxiliary tool brings convenience, but it is also limited to serving judges and auxiliary judges. Therefore, the research and development of judicial artificial intelligence should focus on its auxiliary functions. Moreover, based on the current application of judicial artificial intelligence in the field of general technology, corresponding achievements have been made, so in the future, it should be more inclined to develop the technology in the field of judicial specialization according to the professional characteristics of judicial activities. For example, some foreign courts use artificial intelligence to predict the outcome of cases, and also apply artificial intelligence to examine the admissibility of expert testimony, providing guidance and reference for judges to judge cases. China can also develop corresponding products in combination with its own reality when researching and developing. In addition, we can further improve and popularize the functions of sentencing recommendation and early warning of trial deviation, which have been applied in some courts in China.

Technology is an important force for the progress of human society. As the main body of social development, human beings must use technology for our own use. As the saying goes, "a gentleman’s nature is not different, and goodness is better than falsehood." Only by knowing how to develop and use judicial artificial intelligence and being good at promoting its strengths and avoiding its weaknesses can the value of artificial intelligence be maximized. Only by using this piece of good steel in the cutting edge can we create more value for the judiciary and the people.

(B) artificial intelligence judges: out of sight and out of reach.

As early as the 1970s, some scholars have put forward the hypothesis that human judges can be replaced by machine judges to eliminate legal uncertainty. He Rong, vice president of the Supreme People’s Court, China, gave a clear answer: the robot judge is impossible to appear.

In fact, it is difficult for both ordinary people and experts who have been deeply involved in the field to distinguish the concepts of computers, artificial intelligence and robots in detail. However, as we all know, their operation is essentially a calculation process of "receiving information-processing information-outputting information", and each step needs an exact definition, and there is a "unique positive solution". However, the charm of judicial adjudication is that it often does not pursue black or white, and each specific case has its own unique side. Besides pursuing objectivity and legality, the implied worldly wisdom and ethics are complicated, which requires a judge with judicial wisdom and experience to conduct evaluation and discretion. Although the law is cold, the process of applying the law contains warmth. For example, in the case of Yu Huan, the plot of revenge for the mother by killing the "humiliated mother" is full of irrational emotions, which is not unrelated to the etiquette concept of "the enemy of the father, sharing the sky with the husband" since ancient times in China. These human feelings can only be understood and grasped by human judges who have experienced life, received education and felt edification, and are separated by artificial screens. In addition, artificial intelligence also faces the problem of "black box" algorithm. The process of judicial adjudication itself is a process of paying attention to debate and reasoning. In the trial, not only the angry words between the two sides will affect the judge’s factual judgment, but also an interactive look and a subtle expression will become the capture point of the judge. In the Western Zhou Dynasty, there was a record of "listening to prison proceedings with five voices and seeking people’s feelings" in China.However, the decision-making process of the artificial intelligence judge will be the data processing and operation within the system, and the judgment is the result of a "black box operation", and we know nothing about the operation process. The closed decision-making of the "black box" directly violates the principle of judicial openness, and may also trigger algorithmic dictatorship and discrimination, which will inevitably lead to public doubts about the judgment result and lead to social chaos.

More importantly, China’s Constitution clearly stipulates that all the power of the state belongs to the people, the power of the judicial organs is endowed by the people, and the judicial power exercised by judges is essentially public power under the theory of people’s sovereignty. There is such a legal proverb in the ancient west: "A judge has only one boss, and that is the law." In this context of public authorization, the judge enjoys absolute authority in the trial, and no other subject can influence the judge’s final judgment. From this point of view, if artificial intelligence replaces judges, it will transfer the public power entrusted by the people to a machine, which is tantamount to giving up the public utilities of the people and leading to the rule of robots. We don’t know whether the robot can recognize the law as his boss, but it will inevitably dispel the significance of judicial judgment and undermine judicial public trust, which is unacceptable and tolerated by society.

To sum up, the vision of artificial intelligence judges replacing human judges is beautiful at first glance, but it has fallen into the omnipotence of artificial intelligence. Judicial judgment is a skill of understanding and an art of value measurement, which contains experience and wisdom that artificial intelligence can’t understand. It is a distant fantasy that artificial intelligence replaces judges. In the future, the development of judicial artificial intelligence can’t break through the bottom line. Uncontrolled use of artificial intelligence to transform the trial system will only bring irreparable trauma to the modern rule of law.

conclusion

Although the upsurge of artificial intelligence has swept through again and again, constantly breaking through imagination and impacting cognition, we should not blindly pursue it, especially in the judicial field, we should be cautious and rational. There is no doubt that some routine and repetitive work in the judicial process should be handled by artificial intelligence, giving play to its super integrated operation function and improving judicial efficiency; The core power in judicial activities, such as judicial power, must be independently exercised by judges, and artificial intelligence can only be in a subordinate position because of its own cognitive and thinking defects. In addition, if the judicial decision-making power is handed over to artificial intelligence, the algorithm black box and algorithm discrimination will inevitably impact judicial justice, and it will also dispel people’s sovereignty and modern rule of law system.

In the future, we should stick to the dominant position of judges and the auxiliary role of artificial intelligence, and the research and development of judicial artificial intelligence should continue to advance on the road of serving judges and assisting judges, instead of going astray to replace judges. The deep combination of artificial intelligence and judicature is the general trend. It is necessary to do a good job in the addition of judicial artificial intelligence according to the situation, so that "artificial" and "intelligence" can be in their proper places, take what they need, and unite strongly, so as to bring the greatest value to justice and society, and promote judicial efficiency and judicial justice together.

The competent department of civil servants is responsible for the professional guidance, comprehensive management, supervision and inspection of civil servants’ usual assessment work.
Assessment content:
The assessment of civil servants at ordinary times is based on their job responsibilities and tasks, so as to know civil servants in time.Morality, ability, diligence, achievement and honestyDaily performance, focusing on the assessment of in-depth study and implementation of the Supreme Leader’s Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought in the new era, observing political discipline and rules, practicing the Party’s mass line, completing daily tasks and stage work objectives, and undertaking urgent and dangerous tasks, handling complex problems, and coping with major tests.
Civil servants in window units and service departments directly facing the masses should highlight the assessment of service attitude, service quality and the fulfillment of service commitments, pay attention to understanding the effectiveness of doing practical and difficult things for the masses, and pay attention to the satisfaction of the masses.
Assessment procedures:
(1) Personal summary. Civil servants shall make a brief summary of their work performance according to the requirements, duties, tasks or assessment indicators of the authorities, and report it to the competent leader in written or oral form.
(2) Audit and evaluation. The leaders in charge shall review the personal summary of civil servants and put forward suggestions on the grades of assessment results, which shall be examined and approved by the main leaders at the same level, or by the leading bodies or organs (personnel) departments.
Civil servants in window units and service departments directly facing the masses can carry out service object evaluation within a certain range.
(3) Feedback of results. Relevant leaders or organizations (personnel) departments shall take appropriate measures to timely feedback the assessment results to civil servants themselves, affirm achievements, point out deficiencies, put forward improvement requirements and listen to their opinions.
Examination results:
The assessment results of civil servants are divided into four grades: good, good, average and poor.

For civil servants whose usual assessment results are ordinary grades,Talk to remind in time. For civil servants whose assessment results are poor at ordinary times, criticize and educate them in time and admonish them when necessary. If violations of discipline and law are found, they shall be handled in accordance with relevant disciplines and laws and regulations.
The usual assessment results are linked to the annual assessment results.If the annual assessment is determined to be excellent, it should be produced from the civil servants who have more good grades and no general or poor grades. When the usual assessment results are good grades, the annual assessment can be prioritized as excellent grades within the prescribed proportion.
If the cumulative number of ordinary and poor assessment results in that year exceeds half,In principle, the annual assessment should be determined as basically competent or incompetent.
If the usual assessment results in that year are poor,The annual assessment can be directly determined as incompetence.
The competent department of civil servants at or above the county level may, according to the development of the usual assessment work, adjust the proportion of outstanding grades in the annual assessment of organs within its jurisdiction, and the adjusted proportion shall not exceed 35%.
Grasp the special circumstances:
When civil servants undertake urgent and dangerous tasks, deal with complex problems, and respond to major tests, they have outstanding performance, remarkable achievements and contributions. The current peacetime assessment results can be directly determined as good grades and rewarded in time.
If a civil servant does not obey the organizational arrangement at a critical juncture or critical moment, or causes adverse consequences by passing the buck or perfunctory responsibilities, the usual assessment results in the current period can be directly determined as poor.
Civil servants sent to participate in study and training, transferred to participate in special work, their usual assessment by the local authorities according to the actual situation of reasonable arrangements.
If the accumulated time of sick leave and personal leave exceeds half of the usual assessment period of the current period, they will participate in the assessment, and the order is uncertain.

Generative artificial intelligence has posed a major threat to translation?

The British Writers Association conducted this survey on translators in January this year. Respondents included 787 SOA members, and their work covered fictional writers, nonfiction writers, screenwriters, poets, journalists and translators. More than one-third of the translators interviewed lost their jobs because of the development of generative artificial intelligence, and more than 14% said that their translation income was reduced because of the development of artificial intelligence. When it comes to future expectations, more than three-quarters of the respondents believe that new technologies will have a negative impact on their income.
The survey also shows that 37% of translators use artificial intelligence to support their work. At the same time, despite the general threat brought by artificial intelligence, many translators still believe that the initiative of truly good translation works is still in the hands of human beings. Thomas Bunstead, a Spanish translator, said that "the job entrusted to artificial intelligence will be a simple job of putting butter and bread together". In the era of artificial intelligence, it is important to distinguish between "literary translation" and "commercial translation", and the former is still the territory of human beings.
Stills of AI times.
However, smalley, a translator, thinks that at least translators of popular novels such as crime and romance will get less jobs, and this process will inevitably raise the competition threshold for more complicated translation work. Ian Giles, co-chairman of the Translation Association, affirmed this trend. He said that since the beginning of 2023, his income from commercial translation has fallen sharply. As more and more translators switch to serious literary translation, this disguised situation has also made the situation of translators difficult.
The disadvantage of human translators is that publishers have a very positive attitude towards generative artificial intelligence. A publisher that Gilles worked for before has turned to a workflow called "post-editing", that is, the work is pre-translated by artificial intelligence, and human translators only check and adjust the translation results. Robert Carsten Carlberg, CEO of translation company Nuanxed, said that it is very important for translation companies and publishers to keep up with the pace of technology. "Integrating artificial intelligence into the translator’s toolbox will improve productivity without sacrificing quality".
In 2023, Duolingo, one of the largest language learning applications in the world, experienced several rounds of layoffs. According to the report of Washington post, many neighboring countries gradually laid off contract translators and contractors, and focused on the development of artificial intelligence. Sam Dalcy, a spokesman for the company, said that the company cut its outsourcing translation business by about 10% by the end of 2023. Benjamin Costello, a Russian translator from Baltimore, said that after being fired by many neighboring countries, he entered the application and used the courses he had written before, and found many mistakes. Maybe it’s to save costs, but it reduces the quality of the course.
In March of this year, many neighboring countries officially launched a dialogue mode based on GPT4 technology using OpenAI. They are also trying to use artificial intelligence to create sentences previously written by humans for language learning courses, but sentences written by "completely" artificial intelligence have not yet been applied.
Although the development of generative artificial intelligence is in full swing, Costello’s concern is not a case. Ben Karl, director of the American Translation Association (ATA), once said that translation tools driven by generative artificial intelligence have some fatal defects. For example, it does not perform well in dealing with the complexity of human language. Human language contains a lot of weird idiosyncrasies (for example, in different countries and regions, the common word "dinner" may refer to completely different meanings), which makes it difficult for current artificial intelligence to deal with it. At some point, the influence of mistranslation is disastrous. A report published in the British newspaper The Guardian in 2023 tells a vivid case: the dependence on artificial intelligence translation makes it impossible for asylum-seeking political refugees to pass through the customs and be rejected by the United States.
Ethan Mollick, an associate professor at wharton school, believes that the development of emerging hot technologies such as generative artificial intelligence usually creates a large number of employment opportunities, but it does not mean that most individuals replaced by automation can get these opportunities. Importantly, this trend will lead to the prevalence of odd-job economy, which will aggravate the risk and instability of work. Ofer Shoshan, CEO of translation company One Hour Translation, said in an interview with Forbes magazine that it is worthy of long-term attention whether artificial translation will launch a new "Lude Movement" for artificial intelligence in the future. To some extent, human translation is similar to the situation of 4 million truck drivers in the United States facing the development of automatic trucks.

Macao’s common development with the motherland highlights the strong vitality of "one country, two systems"

  Scenery in Sai Van Lake, Macau by Xinhua News Agency.

  Young people from all walks of life in Macau sang and waved their flags during the flag-raising activities to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the founding of New China. Bright picture

  Photo of Fulong, the new eight scenic spots in Macao, with a bright new look

  On December 20, 1999, Macao returned to the embrace of the motherland and the Macao Special Administrative Region was formally established. In a blink of an eye, the great concept of "one country, two systems" has been implemented in Macao for 20 years.

  Over the past 20 years, Macao, which has developed together with the motherland, has developed from a small town with economic downturn and chaotic public security to an internationally renowned city with prosperity and stability.

  "Over the past 20 years since the reunification, Macao has made great achievements, and the key to its success is that the SAR strictly abides by the Constitution and the Basic Law. ‘ One country, two systems ’ 、‘ Macao people govern Macao ’ A high degree of autonomy has been effectively implemented in Macao. " This is a general summary of the 20-year return of Macao by Chief Executive Chui Sai On.

  The practice in Macao for 20 years has fully proved that "one country, two systems" is completely feasible, feasible and popular.

  1. The success of Macao benefits from maintaining the authority of the Basic Law.

  Question and answer games, cultural performances, creative handwriting … … On December 7th, the Macau Tower Stone Square was crowded with people, and a unique garden party was held here. All recreational activities revolved around a theme — — Macao basic law.

  This is the annual "Let’s Learn about the Basic Law and Create a Better Tomorrow for Macao" garden party, sponsored by the Macao Basic Law Promotion Association. In Macao, there are many similar non-governmental organizations, and activities to publicize and promote the Basic Law are arranged from the beginning of the year to the end of the year.

  From the constitutional point of view, the Basic Law is a programmatic legal document for the central government to clarify the status of the Macao Special Administrative Region. It refines and standardizes the great concept of "one country, two systems" and the state’s major policies towards Macao in the form of law, providing a solid legal guarantee for Macao’s smooth transition, smooth return and prosperity.

  Over the past 20 years since the reunification, the Macao SAR has always insisted on respecting and safeguarding the absolute authority of the Basic Law, acting in strict accordance with the Basic Law, insisting on regulating administrative, legislative and judicial actions with the Basic Law, and handling major issues such as political development and improvement of people’s livelihood with the provisions of the Basic Law.

  The return to the motherland has opened a new era in Macao’s history. For Macao residents, the Basic Law is not just a lofty constitutional document, but a code of conduct closely related to daily life. Labor Relations Law, Science and Technology Outline Law, Personal Data Protection Law, Prevention and Curb of Money Laundering Crime, Consumer Protection Law and Minimum Wage for Employees … … Since the establishment of the SAR on December 20, 1999, the Legislative Council of the SAR has reviewed and passed a total of 290 bills in accordance with the Basic Law, covering a wide range of issues such as economy, people’s livelihood, finance and labor, benefiting the lives of every Macao resident.

  "Practice has fully proved that the Basic Law is a solid legal guarantee for Macao’s economic development, improvement of people’s livelihood and social stability, and it is also a guarantee for safeguarding national sovereignty, security and development interests and maintaining Macao’s long-term prosperity and stability ‘ Dinghai Shenzhen ’ 。” Fu Ziying, director of the Liaison Office of the Central People’s Government in Macao, said.

  Understanding and implementing the principle of "one country, two systems" comprehensively and accurately, and consciously regulating administrative, legislative and judicial actions with the Basic Law is a basic experience since the establishment of the Macao Special Administrative Region 20 years ago, and it is also a historical mission of people from all walks of life in Macao who have a glorious tradition of patriotism and love for Macao.

  The profound patriotic feelings and extensive active participation of Macao compatriots are important social conditions and solid public opinion foundation for the effective implementation of the Macao Basic Law.

  Before the reunification, the Macao Basic Law Association was formed by the members of the Basic Law Drafting Committee in Australia and the Basic Law Advisory Committee to carry out various basic law publicity activities, including constitutional publicity and education. After the reunification, the SAR Government made great efforts to promote the Basic Law, with the active participation of all sectors of society, and established Basic Law Promotion Association, Basic Law Research Institute, Basic Law Memorial Hall, symposiums, training courses, knowledge contests, etc., so that the Basic Law "flew into the homes of ordinary people".

  The successful practice of the Macao Basic Law fully proves that only by forming a broad national identity in the whole society can the Basic Law be fully and accurately implemented.

  2. The success of Macao benefits from adhering to the principle of "one country".

  In the past 20 years, the great dramas in Macao have been climaxed and achieved great success because they have always adhered to "one country, two systems". "One country, two systems" is a complete concept, and the relationship between "one country" and "two systems" must be accurately grasped. "One country" is the root, and deep roots can flourish; "One country" is the foundation, and only when it is solid can it flourish.

  The motherland is the strongest backing for Macao’s development. Since Macao’s return to China 20 years ago, the central government has always adhered to the policy of "one country, two systems", "Macao people ruling Macao" and a high degree of autonomy, and has not interfered in the affairs within the autonomy of the SAR government. We have always resolutely supported the Macao SAR Government to strictly follow the Basic Law, and resolutely supported Macao to concentrate on developing the economy and improving people’s livelihood.

  Adhering to the principle of "one country", Macao has gained a steady stream of forward momentum:

  — — In 2003, the Mainland and Macao signed a Closer Economic Partnership Arrangement (CEPA), and after the SARS epidemic, they opened a "personal tour" to Macao to help Macao’s economy get out of the trough and enter the fast lane.

  — — In 2005, with the full support of the state, the "Historic District of Macao", which includes 8 squares and 22 buildings, was included in the World Cultural Heritage List.

  — — In 2009, the State Council approved the implementation of the Master Development Plan of Hengqin, and proposed to build Hengqin into a demonstration area for exploring new modes of cooperation between Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao under "one country, two systems". Hengqin began to play the role of the hinterland of Macao. In the same year, the University of Macau was approved to build in Hengqin, which was officially opened in 2014. In 2019, Lotus Port was approved to move to Hengqin.

  — — In 2013, the "Belt and Road Initiative" proposed to promote Macao to play the role of an important node city of the Maritime Silk Road.

  — — In 2015, the central government clearly defined the sea area of 85 square kilometers of the Macao Special Administrative Region to help Macao expand its new development space.

  — — In 2018, the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge was completed and opened to traffic. Macao, Zhuhai and Hong Kong were connected by land, and the transportation capacity of people and logistics was greatly improved.

  — — In February 2019, the Outline of Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Development Plan was issued, which introduced a number of policies and measures that directly benefited Macao’s economy and people’s livelihood, integrated into the overall situation of national development, and helped to build a world-class urban agglomeration in Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao. Macao was regarded as one of the four central cities in Greater Bay Area, making the small town stand at the forefront of Greater Bay Area’s development.

  — — In November 2019, the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Construction Leading Group meeting studied and introduced 15 policies and measures to benefit Macao, including further facilitating the integration of Macao residents into employment, schooling and residence in Greater Bay Area, strengthening the flow of people, logistics and funds in the region, and supporting the development of professional sectors in Greater Bay Area.

  The development of Macao cannot be separated from the continuous support of the motherland. According to statistics, more than 90% of fresh water, about 60% of electricity, 80% of grain and almost all live poultry and vegetables that maintain the normal operation of Macao are continuously supplied by mainland provinces and cities all the year round. Moreover, with the strong support of the motherland, Macao overcame the SARS epidemic, the financial crisis, the salt tide, and the typhoon "Tiange" … …

  Facts have proved that "one country, two systems" is Macao’s greatest advantage.

  The success of Macao benefits from making good use of the "two systems".

  Over the past 20 years since the reunification, Macao has adhered to the strategic orientation of "what the country needs and what Macao is good at" and made full use of the benefits of "two systems". Based on moderate economic diversification, Macao has made great efforts to build a world tourism and leisure center, a service platform for business cooperation between China and Portuguese-speaking countries, and an exchange and cooperation base with Chinese culture as the mainstream and multicultural coexistence, which has contributed irreplaceable "Macao power" to the realization of the goal of "two hundred years".

  In order to make "Macao Power" have sustained vitality and greater influence, the central government has been vigorously supporting and helping Macao to expand its international "circle of friends". After the reunification, Macao still maintains its status as an independent customs territory and a free port. Macao’s membership in international organizations has increased from more than 50 to more than 100, and its participation in international conventions has increased from more than 150 to more than 600. The international agreements signed in the name of "Macao, China" are distributed in the fields of economy, trade, finance, judicial assistance and civil aviation. Macao has limited natural resources, and this special international status has inestimable all-round benefits for its social and economic development.

  Over the past 20 years, Macao has given full play to the institutional superiority of "one country’s benefit and two systems’ convenience", transformed the institutional superiority into actual governance efficiency, and demonstrated the successful practice of "one country, two systems" with Macao characteristics to the world.

  Macao has prospered and made great achievements. Macao’s gross domestic product (GDP) increased from 51.9 billion patacas at the beginning of the reunification to 444.7 billion patacas in 2018; The fiscal reserves and foreign exchange reserves of the SAR Government increased by 193 times and 6.2 times respectively compared with the beginning of the reunification. Macao residents are fully employed, and the SAR is fully committed to promoting the construction of people’s livelihood. Macao residents have gained a real sense of happiness and gain.

  Macao has not only realized the return of jurisprudence, but also realized the return of people’s hearts. Macao society has reached such a consensus that "one country, two systems" is the greatest advantage of Macao, and the fine tradition of patriotism and love for Macao, which has always been rooted in the blood of Macao residents, has also condensed and sublimated into the core value of the whole Macao society, and has been passed down from generation to generation.

  In Chinese traditional culture, a man’s twenty years old is called the year of weak crown, and he must be crowned to show his manhood. Today, as the Macao SAR celebrates its 20th birthday, it is facing an important historical node of prosperity and development. Socialism with Chinese characteristics has entered a new era, and a new journey awaits the young SAR to continue sailing.

  As an unprecedented pioneering undertaking, the road ahead of "one country, two systems" cannot be smooth, and there will always be risks and challenges of one kind or another. However, the 20-year practice in Macao fully shows that Macao has accumulated enough experience, strong confidence, cohesive strength and sufficient means to ensure the stable and far-reaching cause of "one country, two systems".

  The Haojiang River surges and changes brilliantly. Facing the future, as a family with a common destiny, Macao compatriots will share the heavy responsibility of rejuvenation and great glory with the people of the whole country, and jointly write a colorful chapter of the Chinese dream to realize the goal of "two hundred years" and the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

"Secret Visitor" was exposed, and Guo Fucheng practiced Mandarin frequently


1905 movie network news The truth is precious, freedom is priceless, and in the name of home, both are thrown away. On April 23, directed by the director, screenwriter,,,,, and starring, released the "Light of Truth" poster and a beat-the-scene video. Secrets abound among the endless steps, and Guo Fucheng, the owner of the Hidden House, and visitor Duan Yihong exchanged freedom for redemption. Little did he know that his sister Zhang Zifeng had pushed the gears of truth, like a ray of light that made the secret nowhere to hide. A few days ago, the movie "Secret Visitor" has been fully pre-sold.

 

The game between freedom and imprisonment 

Guo Fucheng Duan Yihong Zhang Zifeng The Truth Burns the Hidden House


In the bed-the-scene video released, Guo Fucheng, who was filming the scene, kept practicing Mandarin lines, but complex lines such as "one fish has gone before", "window fish" and "very fishy" still caused the king to frequently flip over, which attracted laughter from the shooting scene.


In the "Light of Truth" poster, the head of the family, Mr. Wang (Guo Fucheng, played), stands on the steps, his chin slightly raised, confidently inspecting and controlling the family that has no freedom, and his eyes are full of strategies; the school bus driver, who is voluntarily imprisoned in the basement, is trapped at the bottom of the steps. He looks up at the end of the stairs with a painful expression, trying to escape the guilt for the school bus accident caused by him at the price of giving up his freedom, but he seems to be suffering and longing for someone to save him.


They are the root of the family’s inevitable existence, one who uses "home" to bind each other to comfort himself, the other who uses "freedom" to exchange for peace of mind, and they ingratiate, entangle, and game with each other in opposition. Wang Chutong (played by Zhang Zifeng), the daughter of the Wang family who walks mysteriously between the two, is always testing the family’s fragile bottom line, hoping that one day she can open the family’s Pandora’s box to release the truth and completely escape from the strange and hopeless home. How many secrets this family still hides will only be officially revealed in the cinema on May 1.


 "Secret" is not the point 

Chen Zhengdao uses "visitor killing" to explore the secret deep wound


As a well-known suspense director in the Chinese film industry, Director Chen Zhengdao brought "Secret Visitor" to another five-year battle this time. He hopes to make the whole movie a special "visitor kill", where each audience takes the identity of a "visitor" watching from the sidelines. Not only do they experience the extremely suspenseful viewing atmosphere by entering the secret house to explore secrets, but they also hope that everyone can see the truth and scars behind the secrets. Director Chen Zhengdao admitted that although everyone in this family is hiding in secret, they are all using each other to hurt and create secrets to hide their sincerity.


The head of the family, Mr. Wang, couldn’t get everything he wanted since he was a child, so he transferred the pain of not being able to love him to everyone in the family. The secret visitor Yu Qiuqiao would rather please everyone in the family than stay away, because he was an orphan since he was a child, and although this family was strange, he felt the protection of a family he had never known. Wang Chutong, the daughter of the Wang family, lost her mother since she was a child, but she has never been loved by her father, so she was disheartened and chose to disintegrate the family, thinking that she would be free in this way, and tried her best to win her father’s attention and love.


Director Chen Zhengdao hopes that when the audience watches "Secret Visitor", in addition to entering the secret of this home with suspense, he also hopes that the scars in the depths of the secret of the home can give the audience more inspiration and thinking. Recently, the film has officially opened for pre-sale. On May 1, everyone is welcome to open the door of the secret house to find the truth behind the secret together.


A strong dollar leads to a "strong earthquake" in the market. How does dollar hegemony ruin the world?

  Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, September 26th(International observation) How does the strong dollar lead to a "strong earthquake" in the market and the hegemony of the dollar ruin the world?

  Xinhua News Agency reporter Xu Chao

  The US Federal Reserve recently decided to continue to raise interest rates by 75 basis points, pushing the exchange rate of the US dollar against other currencies to continue to rise, which triggered turmoil in the international financial market.

  International observers believe that the continued strength of the US dollar, driven by the US monetary policy, is having a devastating impact on a global scale. With monetary policy and exchange rate as important tools, the United States constantly pushed up global inflation and debt levels with the help of dollar hegemony, squeezed the monetary policy space of various countries, and pushed the world economy into recession by driving the global tightening tide.

  Affect the exchange rate and push up inflation in other countries.

  Since the Federal Reserve started the interest rate hike cycle in March this year, the exchange rate of the US dollar against other currencies has continued to rise, and it accelerated before and after the US interest rate hike node in September.

  On September 22, the exchange rate of the Japanese yen against the US dollar once approached the 146-to-1 mark in intraday trading, hitting a new low in 24 years, prompting the Japanese Ministry of Finance to announce its intervention in the foreign exchange market to prevent further depreciation of the Japanese yen. This is the first time that the Japanese government has intervened in the foreign exchange market since June 1998. The yen has depreciated by about 25% against the US dollar this year.

  On the same day, the exchange rate of the Korean won against the US dollar fell below the 1400-to-1 mark in intraday trading, setting a record low since March 31, 2009.

  This is the Korean won and US dollar bill taken in Seoul, South Korea on September 22nd. (Photo by Xinhua News Agency reporter Wang Yiliang)

  According to the US Wall Street Journal, this year, the US dollar index of the Intercontinental Exchange, which measures the exchange rate between the United States and its major trading partners, has risen by 14%, which is the strongest year for the US dollar since the index was launched in 1985. The exchange rates of the euro, the yen and the pound against the US dollar have all fallen to decades lows, and emerging market currencies have also been hit hard.

  Analysts believe that the exchange rate "scissors difference" brought by the strength of the US dollar is "harvesting" the world through inflation. No matter developing countries or other developed countries, once the local currency depreciates against the US dollar, the cost of importing commodities denominated in US dollars will inevitably rise, which will aggravate their own inflation. For the United States, it is cheaper to import goods from other countries, and the appreciation of the dollar has thus become one of the means to alleviate domestic inflation.

  Take the euro zone as an example. In August, the inflation rate reached 9.1% at an annual rate, far exceeding the European Central Bank’s medium-term inflation target of 2%. In nine of the 19 member countries of the euro zone, the annual inflation rate has reached double digits. After the euro depreciated against the dollar, Europe imported raw materials and semi-finished products denominated in dollars from the United States at higher prices, bearing the inflationary pressure passed on by the United States.

  The Wall Street Journal commented: "In terms of curbing inflation, a strong dollar has brought a favorable wind to the United States, but it has put pressure on the rest of the world."

  Raising interest rates and deepening economic recession expectations

  Under the pressure of increasing inflation and devaluation of local currencies, many countries have to follow the pace of the Federal Reserve and raise interest rates. In the words of Ethan Harris, chief economist of Bank of America, the world is caught in a "interest rate race".

  Before and after the Fed’s interest rate hike, the central banks of Sweden, Switzerland, Britain and South Africa all raised interest rates sharply. Among them, the Swiss central bank’s interest rate hike marked the end of the 10-year negative interest rate era in Europe, and Japan became the only major economy that maintained the negative interest rate policy.

  Last November, President christine lagarde of the European Central Bank claimed that interest rates in the euro zone were unlikely to increase in 2022. This month, the European Central Bank announced that it would raise interest rates for the second time this year, with a rate of 75 basis points, the largest rate hike since the introduction of the real euro currency in 2002.

  In Asia, the central banks of the Philippines and Indonesia announced a 50 basis point rate hike on the 22nd, and the central bank of Vietnam announced a 100 basis point rate hike on the 23rd.

  Bloomberg statistics show that since the beginning of this year, the central banks of about 90 economies have raised interest rates, and half of them have raised interest rates by at least 75 basis points in a single time. This has also set a record for the most extensive tightening of global monetary policy in 15 years. Krishna Guha, head of central bank strategy of Everco International Strategy and Investment Group in the United States, believes that the United States is the decisive factor driving the global interest rate hike. "The Fed is setting the pace of interest rate hike and passing the pressure to other central banks through the foreign exchange market."

  International observers believe that the Fed has made it clear that it will do whatever it takes to curb inflation and realize the economic interests of the United States. With other central banks passively following the pace of the Fed, the risk of world economic recession has also increased significantly.

  Maurice Obst Feld, former chief economist of the International Monetary Fund, believes that most central banks are moving in the same direction, and may strengthen each other’s austerity policies, which aggravates the risk.

  According to the research report released by the World Bank in mid-September, global central banks are raising interest rates at a synchronous rate that has not been seen in the past 50 years, and this trend may continue until next year, bringing the world economy into recession and bringing financial crisis to emerging markets and developing economies, causing lasting damage.

  In the words of Kevin Walsh, a former governor of the Federal Reserve, "all the conditions for the world economic recession have been met."

  Liquidity increases global debt risk.

  Debt risk is another important manifestation of the global harm of dollar hegemony. The sharp turn of the Federal Reserve’s monetary policy has led to a significant tightening of global liquidity, and the preference for lending has shifted from stimulating to restrictive, and capital has begun to flow back to the United States, while it is difficult for many emerging economies that are already heavily indebted to get out of debt.

  Us treasury secretary yellen has previously admitted that the appreciation of the us dollar may bring challenges to emerging economies, especially those with a large amount of dollar-denominated debt.

  Guram Rajan, a professor of finance at the Booth School of Business at the University of Chicago, said that many countries have increased their debts in the past two years due to low interest rates and the COVID-19 epidemic, and now the risks are difficult to control.

  After the Fed raised interest rates, the yield of US 10-year Treasury bonds, a key benchmark of global borrowing costs, soared to 3.69%, the highest level since 2011. According to the latest data from the International Finance Association, 83 billion US dollars of government debt in emerging economies will be due by the end of next year. After the strength of the US dollar, the US dollar debt undertaken by governments and enterprises in emerging economies will be more expensive.

  Indmit Gill, chief economist of the World Bank, warned in an interview with the Financial Times that the debt risk of emerging economies is particularly prominent. Compared with before the international financial crisis, some low-income countries are more vulnerable and may fall into debt difficulties in the context of global austerity.

When blind people write Braille, do they usually write from right to left or from left to right? The latest answer of ant manor on December 3

  When blind people write Braille, what do they usually do? This is the answer question of Alipay Chicken Manor on December 3rd, so what is the correct answer? The following small series brings: the answer to the question "Blind people usually write Braille" on December 3 of Ant Manor.

  Topics and answers in the small class of ant manor on December 3 rd

  Topic: When blind people write Braille, what do they usually do?

  A, write from right to left

  B, write from left to right

Correct answer: Write from right to left.

  Analysis: When writing Braille, first fix the Braille board on the Braille paper, and then write from right to left. When writing is finished, turn the Braille paper upside down, and then touch it from left to right, and you can just feel the bumps just written in Braille and pen.

  Writing Braille for the blind is the opposite of reading Braille, because Braille is expressed by bumps, but when writing, it is necessary to use a special "pen" to make a groove, and then turn it over and read the raised part. Therefore, reading Braille and writing Braille are not exactly the same, which is a bit like writing in the opposite direction.

Zhengzhou, which was hit by a rainstorm for 24 hours: "The water depth is nearly one meter, and no one can save the store …"

  Cctv news(Reporter Sun Xiaoyuan): No one expected that it would rain so heavily. On the afternoon of July 20th, the rainfall in Zhengzhou, Henan Province dropped for one month in one hour. Some people were trapped in the subway, some people looked at the tall buildings, some people waded forward, some people fell into the water and never stood up … …

  On this day, floods poured into the subway, sewers surged up, cars floated on the streets, culvert water accumulated into rivers, and words such as flood control, emergency rescue and rescue quickly rushed to the hot search.

  In this city hit by heavy rain, no one can stay out of it. CCTV reporters interviewed several Zhengzhou citizens, and their deepest memories still stayed on July 20th. These experiences and feelings from ordinary people pieced together and restored the storm, and also recorded the life trajectories of some people who were quietly changed.

On July 20, a rainstorm occurred in Zhengzhou. A passerby looked up.

  "The outdoor water is nearly one meter deep, and no one can save the store … …”

  On July 20, the rain hit my face and it hurt.

  Zheng Yanhui of Erqi District, Zhengzhou, was hit by a hot search because he was hit by a guitar in a rainstorm. Weibo fans soared by 800, and praise and abuse poured in.

  He told CCTV reporters that in fact, ordinary people can’t stand the hot search. Playing the guitar in the rainstorm that day was just a way of teasing themselves, but I didn’t expect to attract so much attention.

  On the afternoon of the 20th, Zheng Yanhui waded through the knee-deep water. Pedestrians shouldered the road and avoided the electric car falling in the rain. When he hurried to the store, his head was covered.

  "The water in the store has exceeded the calf, and the sewer has started to surge back. The whole person is desperate."

  Looking at the mess all over the house, he didn’t know what he should do. "When I suddenly remembered Chopin’s piano music, I stood in the water and played Richard’s Dream Wedding. At that time, I especially wanted to call names … … Too weak. "

  "Why the Wedding of Dreams?" "Because this is the only song!" He laughed.

Zheng yanhui

  Zheng Yanhui lived in Zhengzhou intermittently for 11 years, and ran a western restaurant, mainly cooking French food. On the morning of the 20th, he simply fried two dishes and finished the Qixi menu, which was about to arrive soon.

  At one o’clock in the afternoon, he looked out of the window, and it was raining harder and harder. Suddenly, I remembered that I had asked an apprentice to come over for an interview in the afternoon. He felt a little guilty and decided to take the risk to meet someone and prepare to retreat.

  He told the CCTV reporter that when he received the person, the water in the culvert of the Second Ring Road had not passed the thigh root, almost 80 cm deep.

  At 3 o’clock in the afternoon, he returned to the store to prepare for emergency rescue. "The camera frame and glasses have all been burnt off. Several other stores began to enter the water, and the scene was out of control. The water level rose too fast and the sandbags were completely useless. "

  The tables, chairs and benches in Zheng Yanhui’s shop were all soaked in water. When he hurriedly transported wooden furniture and a bookcase of books, the water on the ground was more than 30 cm deep. At this time, the big brother in the supermarket next door is also getting confused: snacks, drinks, cigarettes, lighters … … All soaked in water, I don’t know which one to save.

  A friend called to ask him to help look at his shop. "At that time, the outdoor water was nearly one meter deep, and no one could save the shop." He said.

  The joys and sorrows of human beings are not interlinked. However, in the face of extreme weather, there must be some resonance. When all the habits are suddenly interrupted, the influence of heavy rain in Henan has gradually risen to a serious and heavy topic.

  Surgery from delay to emergency transfer, "I don’t want to accompany my mother … …”

  On July 20th, Dongsheng, who lives in Zhongyuan District, made three trips back and forth from home to the store. He usually walked for about 10 minutes, and he walked for nearly an hour.

  On the same day, Dongsheng’s mother was preparing for surgery in Zhengda First Affiliated Hospital. In the morning, he rushed to the hospital early. By noon, the rain was getting bigger and bigger, and the neighbors of the store called to tell him that there was a power outage in the store.

  He told the doctor, glanced at his mother who was infusion, and hurried to the shop.

Dongsheng and his mother

Dongsheng and his mother

  Dongsheng told the CCTV reporter that her mother’s heart was not very good, but she still planted a few acres of land at home. She just finished the summer harvest and sold the wheat, ready to come and treat the disease.

  Dongsheng came out of rural Henan at the age of 13, and went to Jiangsu, Fujian and other places to work. He moved to many construction sites but didn’t earn much money. So far, he still has more than 30,000 yuan in wages to come back. Castroni, a hot pot which he rented last year, is located in the North Street of Coal Warehouse in Zhongyuan District.

  The first time I went to the store in the rain, the water in the street had not passed my thigh. He looked at the surging water in the roadside sewer and tried to move forward step by step with experience.

  "To tell you the truth, I was a little scared at that time. Cars are floating on the street, and the manhole covers on the road don’t know where they have been washed. "

  Opening the shutter door of the shop, the water has been poured into the shop, and it is raining hard. He tried to sweep it out with a broom, but it was too late. There is no way, he can only close the shutter door and return to the hospital, bypassing a lot of roads. When he arrived at the hospital, the hospital called and said that the rain was seriously affected and the operation was delayed, so his family members should not come over for the time being.

  At this time, Dongsheng’s sister Yanling had just finished collecting the fruit stand and was going to the hospital to accompany her mother for surgery. She told the CCTV reporter that when she went out, the water was about 50 cm deep, and the bigger she went down, the car could not be driven for 5 minutes. She got off the bus to check that the water depth had exceeded the root of her thigh. Dongsheng and the hospital called her at the same time and told her not to go there.

  "After hearing the news, the whole person was blinded and didn’t know what to do." Yanling can only return to the fruit shop. When she opened the door, the water in the shop was already more than one meter deep.

  Dongsheng’s hot pot Castroni suffered serious losses, and all five freezers were flooded. Walking is not, and there is nothing you can do without walking. He has been soaking in the water until ten o’clock in the evening. "I can only give up."

  He told the CCTV reporter that if the store is not damaged, it can at least maintain a basic livelihood, but there is no way to deal with this natural disaster … …

  At 12 o’clock in the evening on the 21st, the Affiliated Hospital of Zheng Dayi called. Because of the rainstorm, normal operation could not be guaranteed, Dongsheng’s mother needed to be transferred overnight. Later, Dongsheng’s sister Yanling sent a circle of friends: I have unspeakable pain in my heart, so I don’t want to go to the hospital to accompany my mother … …

  After the founding of New China, there have been five provincial heavy rainfall processes in Henan history, and the most extreme one was the "July 8" torrential rain. According to Su Aifang, deputy director of Henan Meteorological Observatory, the intensity of the rainstorm process has reached a very strong level compared with before.

  On July 20th, the maximum hourly rainfall in Zhengzhou exceeded the historical extreme of hourly rainfall in Chinese mainland, and the rainfall in one hour was equivalent to that in Beijing for half a year.

  Three trees fell within a kilometer. "Zhengzhou has lived for 30 years, and this is the biggest rain."

  Li Sixin, a citizen, has lived in Zhengzhou for 30 years. He said that he had seen many rainstorms, but July 20th was the biggest one.

Li sixin

  On the morning of 20th, he went for a walk in Zijingshan Park as usual, and found that the covered bridge of the park was flooded, and the garden pumped the water to Jinshui River with a water pump. During the rainstorm, the water level of Jinshui River soared again, and the Jinshui River in front of Li Sixin was "choppy".

  He told CCTV reporters that he could walk on the road when he went, and when he came back at noon, the water on the road began to deepen, and cars broke down in the water one after another.

  At about 1 pm, when passing through the intersection of huanghe road and Jingba Road, a paulownia tree collapsed in front of his eyes. The trunk of the tree just hit the roof of the No.63 bus, and the bus could not move. Fortunately, it was narrowly missed and its branches were not inserted into the car.

  Less than a kilometer away, three paulownia trees were blown down by the wind one after another and lay across the road. "Those trees were planted in the 1950s." He repeated it three times and sighed.

  Back home, Li Sixin has been in a state of losing contact during the most rainy hours. A few hours after the communication was interrupted, all his messages came from the push messages of various apps and the windows at home that could see outside.

  "I heard that the deepest water in Metro Line 5 reached people’s necks, and there was a landslide in a subway under construction in the East District, and the rain poured backwards … …” He kept asking and verifying.

  "The bridge deck of Xintong Bridge on Beierqi Road collapsed in the rainstorm. Six patrol members in Jinshui District have been on the scene and have not eaten from morning to afternoon, because there is no food around, which is very hard." He said.

  Because of the heavy rain, the elevator was temporarily closed. On July 21st, Li Sixin came down from the 19th floor and ran back and forth four times. "I am 57 years old and my legs are sore."

  "Even if you live on the 27th floor, you have to walk down the stairs." He added.

  The rations at home are running out, so he has to go downstairs to buy food. In the morning, tomatoes cost 1.60 yuan a catty, but in the afternoon they have risen to 2.50 yuan a catty, but in his view, a small price increase is acceptable.

  Li Sixin walked around the supermarket and found that the price of pork did not increase significantly, but some citizens were still snapping up instant noodles. Because of the network interruption, many people are waiting in line to pay their bills with cash or POS machines.

  He told the CCTV reporter that in this rainstorm, except for the elevator, there was no power cut, water cut and gas cut at home, but the network communication signal was intermittent.

  On the afternoon of the 21st, the rain cleared in Jinshui District of Zhengzhou. Li Sixin sent a photo to CCTV reporter, "Everything comes down to daily life". Perhaps, the water and mud deep in the corner of the city have not receded, but the city is gradually recovering from the traffic and familiar noise.

Shared office is sought after, and there are huge business opportunities to help office buildings "destock"

  Xinhua News Agency, Chengdu, November 6 (Yang Wenhao, Hu Xu) Shared office is booming under the wave of sharing economy and double innovation. Many shared office enterprises, including SOHO China, have recently set their sights on Chengdu. With a large number of projects landing one after another, the long-term surplus office market in Chengdu has also ushered in a "warm winter".

  WORK+ joint office space located in Tianfu New Valley, Chengdu High-tech Zone, has become one of the hottest shared office projects in Chengdu at present because of cutting-edge and fashionable decoration design and housekeeper-style intimate service. Its two-story space of nearly 8,000 square meters provides more than 800 workstations, which have served more than 50 small and micro enterprises.

  WORK+ is just a microcosm of shared office being sought after in Chengdu. In recent years, Chengdu’s "double innovation" policy has been further promoted, entrepreneurial groups have been growing, and a large number of small and micro enterprises have emerged rapidly. Start-up companies have small teams and insufficient funds, and the shared office with relatively high cost performance has become their first choice.

  The increase in demand immediately leads to the expansion of supply. Many well-known shared office service providers, such as Dream Plus, Chivalrous Island, Sugar Cube Town and Walnut, have settled in various office buildings in Chengdu. The latest entrant is SOHO 3Q shared office project under SOHO China.

  Pan Shiyi, chairman of SOHO China, believes that from the perspective of market acceptance, Chengdu’s main population has been on the same starting line as first-tier cities, and there are huge business opportunities for sharing office.

  According to the data released by Colliers International, a real estate service company, the vacancy rate of Chengdu office market has remained above 30% for a long time due to long-term oversupply. In the third quarter of this year, although two new projects brought a huge supply of nearly 100,000 square meters, the average vacancy rate increased slightly by only 0.1% from the previous month.

  In this regard, Colliers International reported that with the continuous optimization of the economic and investment environment, the upgrading of industrial structure and the expansion of the consumer market in Chengdu, a large number of domestic and foreign enterprises have expanded here, especially the rapid development of science and technology and joint office industries, which has led to a significant increase in the cases of bulk leasing and rent expansion in the Grade A office market.
