  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.

Rectify the ills of illegal fund-raising from the source

On February 4th, the State Council released the Opinions on Further Improving the Prevention and Disposal of Illegal Fund-raising. The "Opinions" put forward the regulatory concept of "combining prevention with crackdown, cracking down early and cracking down on small ones", clarified the regulatory responsibilities for preventing and handling illegal fund-raising, based on establishing a long-term mechanism, and tried to solve the problem of illegal fund-raising flooding from the source by perfecting relevant laws and regulations. The reporter of Economic Daily interviewed relevant experts to interpret the Opinions.

Governance according to law, classification and policy

Experts believe that the Opinions fully embodies the concept of "managing illegal fund-raising according to law" and establishes the principle of classified policy.

Li Aijun, a professor at the School of Civil and Commercial Economics of China University of Political Science and Law, said that according to the requirements of the Opinions, the governance of illegal fund-raising should obey the established laws, and he also proposed that the established laws and related legislation in China should be revised in time according to the characteristics of illegal fund-raising. "At present, illegal fund-raising methods are being refurbished to avoid laws and regulations, which leads to the lag of existing laws and regulations. Perfecting the relevant legal system is an important way to cure illegal fund-raising. "

The cases of illegal fund-raising are complex, involving a wide range of aspects and strong policies. In order to effectively resolve contradictions and strive to achieve the organic unity of law enforcement and social effects, the Opinions have established the principle of strict handling according to law and classified policies.

Liu Weibo, the presiding judge of the Second Criminal Court of the Supreme People’s Court, said that according to the requirements of the Opinions, it is necessary to strictly distinguish between illegal fund-raising and legal private lending, and between criminal offences and administrative violations. If illegal fund-raising or illegal fund-raising does not constitute a crime according to law, and production and business activities can continue, it is necessary to actively help and guide enterprises to take the initiative to rectify and avoid expanding losses. At the same time, we must adhere to the criminal policy of combining leniency with severity, severely crack down on major criminal cases of illegal fund-raising in key areas, key regions and key links, and be lenient in accordance with the law if the illegally absorbed funds are mainly used for normal production and business activities and can be repaid in time.

At present, illegal fund-raising tends to spread to different regions and industries. To effectively prevent and deal with illegal fund-raising, it is necessary to strengthen leadership, participate in many parties and form a joint force. "The Opinions also emphasize the construction of a work pattern in which the division of labor is responsible for linkage and cooperation." Liu Weibo said.

Li Aijun said that at present, with the rapid spread and wide coverage of Internet technology, Internet-based illegal fund-raising has the characteristics of cross-sectoral, cross-regional, cross-industry and regional, and governance of Internet-based illegal fund-raising requires all-round cooperation.

The combination of dredging and plugging focuses on prevention

The prevention and disposal of illegal fund-raising is a long-term, complex and arduous systematic project. To effectively prevent and control the risk of illegal fund-raising, we must change our ideas, innovate our mechanisms and improve our methods. "The Opinions put forward the important concept of’ two combinations’, that is, the combination of prevention and suppression and the combination of unblocking." Liu Weibo said that the key to achieving the goal of early detection and early resolution of illegal fund-raising is prevention.

Among them, prevention means nip in the bud, and do a good job in monitoring and early warning, daily supervision, investigation and evaluation of illegal fund-raising risks; Fight, that is, fight early and fight small, and severely crack down on key areas, key areas and major vicious illegal fund-raising cases according to law; Sparse is to continuously improve the level of financial services through reform, broaden private investment and financing channels, vigorously develop inclusive finance, and effectively solve the contradiction between financial supply and demand; Blocking is to clarify the boundaries of policies and laws by improving laws and regulations, and resolutely block all kinds of illegal fund-raising and criminal activities carried out under the banner of production and operation, commodity trading, financial innovation and internet finance.

Liu Weibo believes that only by taking precautions in place, cracking down effectively, unblocking the right path, blocking evil paths, and taking multiple measures simultaneously can we get out of the strange circle of "letting chaos control death" and achieve the effect of treating both the symptoms and the root causes.

Peng Bing, a professor at Peking University Law School, said that once the risk of illegal fund-raising breaks out, it is often difficult to pay, and it is difficult for investors to recover their funds. The Opinions focus on prevention in cracking down on illegal fund-raising activities, which has strong practical significance.

The development of illegal fund-raising activities needs to rely on some channels that are convenient to the public, such as advertising, and various organizations that have obtained sales licenses to promote illegal wealth management products. Peng Bing said, "Setting up monitoring in these channels can detect illegal fund-raising activities as early as possible and nip them in the bud." The Opinions also proposes to strengthen the monitoring and inspection of advertisements.

Monitoring the capital flow is helpful for early detection of illegal fund-raising activities. "Most funds for illegal fund-raising activities need to go through financial institutions. Strengthening the monitoring of anti-money laundering by financial institutions will effectively find suspected illegal fund-raising activities in the early stage." Peng Bing said that the Opinions clarify that financial institutions should identify and report suspicious trading activities suspected of illegal fund-raising on the basis of anti-money laundering.

At the same time, the Opinions also emphasize the role of "publicity and education" in preventing and handling illegal fund-raising. "Through publicity and education for the masses, let them master certain basic knowledge and common sense of finance and law, which will not only make the masses invest more rationally, but also improve their self-protection ability, and will also play a guiding role in the whole society." Li Aijun said.

Carry out the responsibility without leaving a vacuum

Li Aijun believes that the Opinions further improve the responsibility mechanism for preventing and disposing of illegal fund-raising. For example, in the Opinions, it is clear that the provincial people’s government is the first responsible person to prevent and dispose of illegal fund-raising, and the local people’s governments at all levels should effectively implement the responsibilities of territorial management, and make detailed provisions on the scope of responsibility and the assessment methods of responsibilities of each responsible subject. This fully reflects the government’s determination to control illegal fund-raising. Only when the responsibility is clear and operational can it be truly implemented and effective, and it can ensure that there is no vacuum in the supervision and prevention of illegal fund-raising in all industries.

"In addition, the Opinions stipulate the responsibilities of relevant departments from the principle of whether supervision is linked to market access and industry management, which inhibits the current illegal fund-raising and use of the lack of supervision system to engage in illegal and criminal activities." Li Aijun said that the current illegal fund-raising with the help of Internet technology has circumvented the regulatory agencies and competent authorities. With the promulgation of the Opinions, local people’s governments at all levels will be responsible for the supervision and management of all kinds of "innovations" that evade regulatory agencies and competent institutions, which will fundamentally prevent the risks brought by all kinds of pseudo-innovations.

Liu Weibo said that while clarifying the main body of responsibility and refining the division of responsibilities, the Opinions put special emphasis on the accountability mechanism, and incorporated the prevention and disposal of illegal fund-raising into the comprehensive assessment and evaluation of leading bodies and leading cadres of people’s governments at all levels. The financial supervision department will also establish an accountability system while guiding and urging financial institutions to strengthen internal management, social propaganda, monitoring and reporting.

China’s economy is a sea, not a small pond!

  On the 5th, the first China International Import Expo opened in Shanghai. The Supreme Leader of president, China attended the opening ceremony and delivered a keynote speech. In the speech, the Supreme Leader’s speech that China’s economy is a sea aroused widespread concern. Why is China’s economy a sea rather than a small pond?

  Six favorable conditions

  The Supreme Leader pointed out that China is the second largest economy in the world, with a large market of more than 1.3 billion people and a land area of more than 9.6 million square kilometers. China’s economy is a sea, not a small pond. When the sea is calm, there are also times when the wind is crazy and the rain is sudden. Storms can overturn small ponds, but not the sea.

  The Supreme Leader said that everyone can be optimistic about China’s economic development prospects. China has many favorable conditions to maintain long-term, healthy and stable economic development.

  The supreme leader’s "China’s theory of economic sea" echoed the speech he made at the symposium of private enterprises a few days ago. At that time, he clearly pointed out that we should see favorable conditions and enhance our confidence in winning China’s economic development. These advantages include:

  China has great development resilience, potential and room for manoeuvre. China has a domestic demand market with a population of more than 1.3 billion, which is in the synchronous development stage of new industrialization, informationization, urbanization and agricultural modernization. The expansion of middle-income groups breeds a large number of consumption upgrading needs, and the uneven development of urban and rural areas contains considerable room for development.

  China has good development conditions and material foundation, the most complete industrial system in the world and the increasing ability of scientific and technological innovation, and the total savings rate is still at a high level.

  China is rich in human capital, and the comparative advantage of labor force is still obvious.

  China has a vast territory, rich total land resources and huge potential for intensive land use, which also provides a good space support for economic development.

  The fundamentals of China’s healthy and stable economic development have not changed, the conditions of production factors supporting high-quality development have not changed, and the overall momentum of long-term stability has not changed.

  We have the strong leadership of the Party, the political advantage of concentrating our efforts on major issues, deepening reform in an all-round way, constantly releasing development momentum, and constantly enhancing our macro-control ability.

  Because of this, as long as we maintain our strategic strength, comprehensively deepen reform and opening up, deepen structural reform on the supply side, and make great efforts to solve outstanding contradictions and problems, China’s economy will surely accelerate its transition to a high-quality development track, the people of China will surely overcome all difficulties and challenges along the way, and China will surely usher in a brighter development prospect.

  China’s economy is still operating in a reasonable range.

  In addition to the six favorable conditions, there are concrete data to support China’s theory of economic sea. In the first three quarters, China’s GDP increased by 6.7%, and in the third quarter it increased by 6.5%, which was in line with the expected target. The annual grain output is expected to remain above 1.2 trillion Jin. 11.07 million new jobs were created in cities and towns, and the annual target was achieved ahead of schedule. From the economic growth, employment, prices, international payments, corporate profits, fiscal revenue, labor productivity and other major indicators, China’s economic operation is in a reasonable range, laying an important foundation for achieving the annual goals and tasks. Compared with other major economies, China’s economic growth is still in the forefront of the world.

  According to the data released by the Ministry of Commerce on October 18th, in the first three quarters of this year, 45,922 foreign-invested enterprises were newly established in China, up 95.1% year-on-year. The actual use of foreign capital was 636.7 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 2.9%. Gao Feng, spokesman of the Ministry of Commerce, said at the press conference held on the same day that the industrial structure and regional layout of China’s utilization of foreign capital are also being further optimized, and the manufacturing industry, especially the high-tech manufacturing industry, is growing rapidly.

  The data really shows that storms can’t overturn the sea.

  The effectiveness of the policy has been or is emerging.

  The road to simplicity is the most important thing. Regarding some difficulties and challenges faced by China’s economy, the Supreme Leader said that on the whole, these are problems encountered in the process of progress, and we are taking measures to actively solve them, and the results have been or are showing.

  Recently, the central authorities have taken a series of measures. On July 31, the the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee meeting put forward "six stabilities", all localities vigorously improved the business environment, raised the tax threshold to increase residents’ spending power, and measures to reduce taxes and fees were continuously introduced … … This series of measures is playing a role, and there is a good example. On the evening of October 31, 2018, Beijing time, the World Bank released the 2019 Business Environment Report: Training for Reform. Among them, Chinese mainland ranked 32 places higher than last year, ranking 46th among the top 50 economies in the world. From 2013 to 2018, the World Bank’s Doing Business Report ranked China by 50 places. In last year’s report and the previous year’s report, China ranked 78th. This year, China scored 8.64 points higher than last year, making it one of the economies with the greatest improvement in business environment.

  There is no end to hard work. In the keynote speech at the opening ceremony of the first China International Import Expo(CIIE), the top leaders put forward five measures to further expand opening up, covering stimulating import potential, continuously relaxing market access, creating a world-class business environment, creating a new highland for opening up to the outside world, and promoting the in-depth development of multilateral and bilateral cooperation. At the symposium of private enterprises held on November 1, the top leaders proposed to implement six policy measures, including reducing the burden of corporate taxes and fees, solving the problem of financing difficulties and expensive financing for private enterprises and so on.

  With so many favorable conditions, coupled with the hard-working spirit of facing up to difficulties and solving them, China’s economy has a solid foundation. This is also the foundation of "China’s theory of economic sea". Storms can overturn small ponds, but not the sea.
