"Star Project" helps to dream, and 2023 SAIC Volkswagen Hope Primary School Summer Camp opens in Shanghai.

On July 25th, 2023 SAIC Volkswagen "Stars Project" Hope Primary School Summer Camp opened in Shanghai. From July 24th to July 30th, 40 teachers and students from 7 SAIC Volkswagen Hope Primary Schools in Yunnan, Henan, Guangxi, Shaanxi and Hubei provinces gathered in Shanghai for a 7-day summer camp trip.
A "learn for practice"trip
At the beginning of the activity, the children of the "Stars Project" joined hands with the minority partners of the "From the Mountain" charity project to visit the Shanghai Film Museum and exchange prepared gifts. Later, the children went to SAIC Volkswagen’s factory in Anting to observe the modern automobile production process at close range and understand the development process of SAIC Volkswagen.
Since then, the children have successively visited the Chinese Art Palace, the Oriental Pearl and the Yuyuan Garden to experience the different charms of Shanghai, and went to places with scientific significance such as Huangpu Youth Science and Technology Center and Shanghai Natural Museum to experience the application of textbook knowledge. In addition, the children also went to Shanghai Disneyland to punch in, and visited Fudan University, a well-known university, to feel the university life they might be exposed to in the future.
It is worth mentioning that in the summer camp, children can experience an interesting STEM course every night, including learning to make cars that generate electricity through salt water and making orbital ball devices; Paper-making experience combined with China’s traditional skills; And combined with the space boom in recent years, under the leadership of teachers, we started to make "small rockets"; Make intelligent car robots with image sensors and access to the Internet.
Through the zero-distance experience with STEM course, children can get a small scientific work and master a new knowledge every day through the classroom, which not only feels the mystery of science and the fun of exploration, but also exercises the innovative spirit and practical ability in the process of turning imagination into reality.
The 7-day trip to Shanghai of 2023 SAIC Volkswagen "Stars Project" summer camp is a combination of fun and education, which not only enriches the summer life of Hope Primary School students, but also helps them broaden their horizons, increase their knowledge and improve their ability to live independently. The combination of summer camp and STEM course gives children the opportunity to feel the charm of science and technology, cultivate their practical ability and exploration spirit.
Ensure inclusive and fair quality education.
As one of the largest automobile manufacturers in China, SAIC Volkswagen is widely involved in public welfare undertakings in the fields of education, safety, environmental protection, community and culture, and the "Star Project" is a landmark project of SAIC Volkswagen in the field of public welfare education.
In 2020, SAIC Volkswagen officially released the CSR 2025 strategy. This strategy is based on SAIC Volkswagen’s strategy of "creating 2025 together", responding to the UN’s sustainable development goal of 2030, and promoting the company’s sustainable development.
The CSR 2025 strategy starts with basic responsibility and public welfare responsibility, and continuously promotes relevant work in compliance management, products, zero-carbon road, employee and partner responsibility and social welfare, fully integrates CSR into the company’s operation and management process, creates social responsibility of the whole value chain, realizes value sharing between enterprises and society, and becomes a responsible corporate citizen.
"Ensuring inclusive and fair quality education" is an important part of the United Nations 2030 sustainable development goal. As early as 1995, SAIC Volkswagen paid attention to the importance of youth education in the development of underdeveloped areas and began to build Hope Primary School in Xinjiang. Since 2012, SAIC Volkswagen has donated educational funds to Xinjiang for five consecutive years, and equipped local schools with computer rooms, art rooms and sports equipment.
The "Stars Project", which started in 2015, was jointly sponsored by SAIC Volkswagen and China Youth Development Foundation to improve the teaching building construction and teaching environment, and provide teaching equipment and teaching resources for rural schools.
Up to now, SAIC Volkswagen’s "Stars Project" has donated more than 16 million yuan and built 11 hope schools in Hunan, Henan, Guangxi, Hubei, Xinjiang, Guizhou, Shaanxi and Yunnan. There are sports facilities, library, voice classroom, computer room and other supporting facilities in the school building, which bring more efficient learning tools and richer learning resources to children.
According to statistics, more than 1,000 young people benefit from the "Stars Project" every year, and the total number of beneficiaries exceeds 20,000.
Practice the responsibility of sustainable citizenship
Before the Shanghai Summer Camp in 2023, SAIC-Volkswagen also launched the "Star Project" summer camps in Shanghai in 2016 and Changsha in 2022. In recent years, the "Star Project" has been upgraded again. SAIC Volkswagen has focused on STEM education (science, technology, engineering and mathematics education), and through multiple measures such as curriculum research and development, teacher capacity building and supporting activities, it has transformed from hardware upgrading in Hope Primary School to helping to cultivate the soft power of rural education, and the value behind the birth of automobiles-scientific exploration and innovation spirit-will benefit children in the form of educational public welfare, helping children dream of sailing and dreaming of stars.
At present, 12 STEM-themed courses have been developed and will be fully promoted in the Hope School aided by SAIC Volkswagen.
In addition to rural education, SAIC Volkswagen is also participating in public welfare undertakings in different forms in places where SAIC Volkswagen production bases have been established in many places across the country:
In the past year, in Shanghai, SAIC Volkswagen launched the "Community Traffic Safety You and I Guard Together" activity, which passed on the concept of road traffic safety to community residents. In Nanjing, SAIC Volkswagen launched a public welfare tour of "Telling the’ Beautiful Nanjing’ in your heart and mine", integrating into the local area and the community, evoking more human warmth with actions and paying tribute to the guardians of the city; In Ningbo, SAIC Volkswagen invited community residents to jointly carry out biodiversity observation activities in combination with the zero-impact factory area and surrounding wetlands …
In recent years, SAIC Volkswagen has gradually formed a circle of friends with common interests by developing like-minded and influential common interests organizations. By building a circle of friends with common interests, SAIC Volkswagen can build a public welfare endorsement, strengthen sustainable association, increase public perception, highlight the sustainable label, expand the influence of circle destruction, and establish the sustainable image of the enterprise to realize the "common interests" of commercial value and social value.
SAIC Volkswagen said that it will continue to practice corporate social responsibility in the future, integrate the concept of sustainable development with development strategies, and integrate public welfare into every key action of enterprises.

Expert: Fed’s interest rate hike to the highest level in 22 years will lead to a "serious recession" in the United States.

  Overseas Network July 27th According to a report by Sputnik news agency & radio on the 27th, the Federal Reserve announced on the 26th that it would raise interest rates by 25 basis points again, raising the target range of the federal funds rate to 5.25% to 5.5%, reaching the highest level in 22 years. Sergio Rossi, a professor of macroeconomics and monetary economics at the University of Fribourg in Switzerland, said that the Fed’s decision will lead to a "serious recession" in the United States in the near future.

  Rossi said that it is not surprising that the Fed will raise interest rates again, because the United States has not yet reached the annual inflation target of 2%, but at a time when the number of non-performing loans of financial institutions is increasing, resulting in a record high debt, raising interest rates "will have a negative impact on the United States and the global economy". Rossi criticized that raising the federal funds rate to 5.25%-5.5% will push up inflation, not curb it. Rossi analyzed that due to the higher interest rate of bank loans, more and more small and medium-sized enterprises will raise the prices of goods and services, while higher interest rates will lead to a large reduction in consumer loans, thus inhibiting economic growth.

  The decision to raise interest rates will further lead to the appreciation of the dollar in the foreign exchange market and have a negative impact on US exports. Rossi said that all these factors will reduce the investment level of enterprises in the US economy, and further have a negative impact on the employment and salary of middle-class workers in the United States, resulting in lower consumption levels of middle-class groups. More seriously, it may lead to a "vicious" cycle, push the United States into a "serious recession" and will inevitably spread to other western economies suffering from inflation.

Authorities respond to the five major concerns of the latest version of COVID-19’s prevention and control plan

  Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, July 16th Question: Authorities responded to the five major concerns of the latest COVID-19 prevention and control plan

  Xinhua News Agency reporter Dong Ruifeng and Xu Penghang

  Since the novel coronavirus Prevention and Control Plan (Ninth Edition) was released recently, the monitoring of epidemic situation, the isolation management of risk personnel, and the demarcation standards of medium and high risk areas have been adjusted to further improve the scientificity and accuracy of epidemic prevention and control.

  What is the basis for the revision of the prevention and control plan? What changes have been made in the division of different risk areas? Does the latest mutant affect the existing prevention and control measures? In response to social concerns, authoritative experts on joint prevention and control mechanism in the State Council made an interpretation and response when interviewed by Xinhua News Agency.

  Why revise the prevention and control plan? More scientific and accurate

  Liu Qing, director of the Infectious Disease Prevention and Control Division of the CDC of the National Health and Wellness Commission, said that there are three considerations for revising the prevention and control plan:

  The first is the change of epidemic situation. The epidemic situation in COVID-19 is still prevalent all over the world. Since the beginning of this year, the frequency of local epidemics in China has increased significantly, and the epidemic has spread to a wide area. The pressure of preventing imports from abroad and internal defense from rebounding has been increasing, and the prevention and control situation has become more severe and complicated.

  The second is the characteristics of virus variation. As a dominant epidemic strain, Omicron has shorter incubation period, stronger transmission ability and concealment, and faster transmission speed, which brings new challenges to epidemic prevention and control.

  The third is the results of previous pilot work and the practice of epidemic prevention and control. From April to May this year, the Comprehensive Group of Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism of the State Council carried out a four-week pilot study on the optimization of epidemic prevention and control measures in seven entry cities, including Dalian, Suzhou, Ningbo, Xiamen, Qingdao, Guangzhou and Chengdu. At the same time, it fully absorbed and learned from the practice of prevention and control work and the experience of epidemic disposal in various places.

  On July 8th, volunteers (first from right) registered the information of nucleic acid testing for Zitingyuan community residents in Qujiang New District of Xi ‘an. Xinhua News Agency reporter Zhang Bowen photo

  "The ninth edition of the prevention and control plan is an optimization of prevention and control measures, and it is by no means relaxing prevention and control." Liu Qing said that the key is to control the key points under control, put the implementation in place, and resolutely cancel the cancellation, so as to further improve the scientificity and accuracy of epidemic prevention and control.

  Why adjust the isolation period of risk personnel? Virus incubation period shortened

  The pilot study on the optimization of epidemic prevention and control measures carried out from April to May found that the average incubation period of Omicron mutant was shortened, mostly from 2 days to 4 days; Most of them can be detected within 7 days.

  "In order to further improve the scientific and accurate prevention and control measures for the epidemic situation in COVID-19, based on the research results and the prevention and control practices in many places in China, the ninth edition of the prevention and control plan has optimized the time limit and mode of isolation and control of people at risk related to the epidemic situation." Wang Liping, a researcher at the Infectious Diseases Management Office of China CDC, said.

  Adjust the control time of close contacts and entry personnel isolation from "14 days centralized isolation +7 days home health monitoring" to "7 days centralized isolation +3 days home health monitoring", and adjust the control measures of close contact from "7 days centralized isolation" to "7 days home isolation" … …

  "This adjustment is to further optimize the prevention and control measures according to the epidemic characteristics of Omicron mutant, which will not increase the risk of epidemic spread and is the embodiment of precise prevention and control." Wang Liping said.

  When to start the whole nucleic acid test? Clearly define the conditions

  Regional nucleic acid detection strategies should be different in different scenarios — — The ninth edition of the prevention and control plan further clarifies this. For provincial capital cities, cities with a population of more than 10 million, general cities and rural areas, the regional nucleic acid detection strategies after the outbreak and under the normalization prevention and control were defined respectively.

  On July 5, a citizen was sampling nucleic acid at a nucleic acid sampling point in Liyuan Street, Binhu District, Wuxi City. Xinhua News Agency reporter Li Boshe

  Wang Liping introduced that after the outbreak, if the conditions such as "clear source of infection", "clear transmission chain" and "no community transmission" are met through investigation, it is not necessary to carry out all-staff nucleic acid testing in the area where the epidemic occurred, and nucleic acid screening will be focused on the risk areas and people with time and space intersection.

  If, according to the investigation, the transmission chain is unclear, there are many risk places and risk personnel, and the risk personnel are highly mobile, and there is a risk of spread of the epidemic, it is necessary to start the nucleic acid detection for all the people in the region. The detection range, detection strategy and termination conditions of nucleic acids in different regions are clearly defined in the scheme.

  How to divide high school low-risk areas? Epidemic-free counties implement normalized prevention and control.

  According to the ninth edition of the prevention and control plan, high, middle and low risk areas are divided in counties (cities, districts and banners) with epidemic situations. In counties (cities, districts and banners) where there is no epidemic, normalized prevention and control measures are implemented throughout the region.

  Chang Zhaorui, a researcher at the Infectious Diseases Management Office of China CDC, said that high-risk areas refer to the places where cases and asymptomatic infected people live, as well as areas such as workplaces and activities with frequent activities and high risk of epidemic spread. In principle, they are defined by residential communities or villages, and the scope of risk areas can be judged and adjusted according to the results of epidemiological investigations. In high-risk areas, the measures of "staying at home and on-site service" are adopted. For people in high-risk areas with cross-regional spillover, centralized isolation medical observation was taken for 7 days.

  Medium-risk areas refer to areas where cases and asymptomatic infected people stay and move for a certain period of time, and may have the risk of epidemic spread, such as workplaces and activities. In the middle risk area, the control measures of "people don’t leave the area and take things at the wrong peak" are adopted. For the personnel in the middle-risk area with cross-regional spillover, take 7-day home isolation medical observation.

  Low-risk areas refer to other areas in the counties (cities, districts and banners) where middle-high risk areas are located. In low-risk areas, the preventive measures of "personal protection and avoiding gathering" are adopted. People in low-risk areas who go out across regions should leave with a 48-hour negative nucleic acid test certificate. There is no need to take isolation and control measures for people in low-risk areas who go out across regions, but it is required to complete nucleic acid testing twice within 3 days and do a good job in personal health monitoring.

  Does the latest mutant have an impact? The prevention and control plan is still applicable

  Recently, Omicron BA.5 subfamily is becoming the main epidemic strain in the world, and it has caused a local clustering epidemic in China. Dong Xiaoping, chief virologist of China CDC, said that compared with other branches of Omikrongya, the overall pathogenicity of BA.5 has not changed significantly, and the ninth edition of the prevention and control plan is still applicable.

  The ninth edition of the prevention and control plan puts the monitoring of virus in a higher position, embodies the hierarchical nucleic acid screening plan, encrypts the frequency of nucleic acid detection among occupational groups at risk, and adds antigen detection as a supplementary means of epidemic monitoring.

  "These measures in the ninth edition of the prevention and control plan are effective for the sub-branches of BA.4 and BA.5." Dong Xiaoping said.

Wuhan University cherry blossoms! Experts explain…

  The cherry blossoms of Wuhan University are blooming!

  The season that should have been fragrant osmanthus,

  Why did the cherry blossoms suddenly bloom?

  The experts responded.

Wuhan University cherry blossoms! Experts explain...

  Cherry blossoms photographed by netizens Zhang Jiahui near Kunpeng Square at Wuhan University on September 25.

  Wuhan University cherry blossoms suddenly bloom

  Is the flower "confused"?

  On September 21, Zhang Jiahui, a junior at the School of Power and Machinery of Wuhan University, was passing by Kunpeng Square when he accidentally found a small number of flowers blooming on a cherry blossom tree. He was surprised, why did the cherry blossoms bloom in this season? Could it be that the flowers are "confused"?

  Zhang Jiahui immediately photographed the unusual scene and shared his Moments, which quickly aroused the curiosity and interest of his classmates, who went to see the "unconventional" cherry blossom tree.

  For the next few days, Zhang Jiahui would go under the cherry tree every day to observe its changes. Surprisingly, until September 25, this early cherry blossom was still blooming and showed no signs of withering.

  On September 25, Du Wentian, a third-year graduate student at Wuhan University, also made an unexpected discovery while strolling around the campus. He came across a blooming cherry tree near Wanlin Art Museum. He couldn’t help but be stunned and murmured to himself: "How can there be cherry blossoms in this season?" Out of curiosity, he immediately checked the relevant information and confirmed that it was indeed cherry blossoms. Later, he found scattered cherry blossoms in the administrative building, Cherry Blossom Avenue and other places.

Wuhan University cherry blossoms! Experts explain...

  On September 25, netizens Du Wentian photographed the cherry blossom trees near the Wanlin Art Museum.

  Expert: It may be a climate anomaly

  Let Sakura "misunderstand"

  Why do cherry blossoms open out of season? Yong Guosen, a senior horticulturist and senior landscape architect, explained that the cherry trees on the campus of Wuhan University are mostly early cherry varieties, not autumn cherry blossoms that are specially designed for autumn.

  Two conditions may cause cherry blossoms to bloom in autumn: first, the characteristics of certain varieties of cherry blossoms, such as October cherry, Little Higan cherry, etc., bloom in autumn is a normal phenomenon, they are called autumn cherry blossoms, and the flowering period can extend from mid-September to December; second, the climate is abnormal, when the climate is abnormal, the continuous high temperature and drought cause the cherry tree to defoliate early, and the cherry tree misjudges the season, forming flower buds in advance to germinate and bloom. In this case, the flowers are usually sparse.

  Dong Likun, a senior engineer at the Institute of Plant Protection of the Wuhan Academy of Garden Sciences, further explained that plants in the Rosaceae family such as cherry blossoms, begonias, red leaf plums, and peach blossoms may also bloom twice in summer and autumn under certain conditions. This is usually because plants enter a shallow dormant state when they encounter high temperature, drought or other unfavorable environments in summer. When the temperature drops later and the environmental conditions improve, the plants resume growth, and the flower buds that have completed their development will open. This process is similar to the natural law of plants returning to bloom in spring after winter dormancy.

Us media: Biden "implicitly admits" that the 1.75 trillion spending bill will miss the Christmas deadline.

  [Global Network Report] According to CNN and CNBC news, US President Biden issued a statement on the $1.75 trillion "Rebuilding a Better Future" spending bill on the 16th, implicitly acknowledging that the bill will miss the deadline for passing in the Senate before Christmas, and suggesting that the passage of the bill may be postponed until next year.

  "My team and I are discussing with Senator Manchin, and this work will continue next week," Biden said in a statement, according to CNN. "It will take time to finalize these agreements, prepare legislative changes, and complete all the procedural steps so that the Senate can vote. We will jointly promote this work in the next few days and weeks. Schumer, the leader of the US Senate Majority, and I are both determined to let this bill land as soon as possible. "

  CNBC said that it was Senate Majority Leader Schumer who set the deadline for Biden’s 1.75 trillion "Rebuilding a Better Future" spending bill before Christmas, but the negotiations are progressing slowly. CNN said that the main obstacle facing the Democratic Party is Senator Manchin, a moderate Democrat, whose "swing vote" is crucial to the passage of the bill.

On the 16th, Biden made a speech at the White House in Washington, USA.

On the 16th, Biden made a speech at the White House in Washington, USA.

  Regarding the coverage of this 1.75 trillion bill, it was previously reported that it includes that the United States will invest 555 billion dollars to deal with climate change and develop clean energy, allocate 400 billion dollars to provide two-year free preschool education and reduce the cost of childcare for ordinary families, use 200 billion dollars for childcare tax deduction and income tax deduction for low-income people, and use 150 billion dollars to build housing.

  Why is this "Rebuilding a Better Future" bill so important to Biden? Washington post analyzed that Biden’s ruling performance and political agenda have been in a state of disaster recently. The chaotic withdrawal of Afghan troops, the resurgence of the COVID-19 epidemic this summer and the rising inflation have made many Democrats worry that the party will face a terrible political situation in next year’s mid-term congressional elections. If the US Congress can pass it, it will prove the ruling ability of Biden and the Democratic Party.

"shouldering the mission of verifying the important technology of China’s space station construction."

  Xinhua News Agency, Jiuquan, September 15th  Title: "shouldering the mission of verifying the important technology of China’s space station construction"-Zhou Jianping, chief designer of China’s manned spaceflight project, "declassified" Tiangong-2.

  Li Zhongshuang, Li Guoli, Chen Xi

  At 22: 04 on September 15th, Tiangong-2 Space Laboratory was launched from Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center. Zhou Jianping, the chief designer of China’s manned spaceflight project, declassified the Tiangong-2 space laboratory and the construction of China’s space station when interviewed by Xinhua News Agency.

  Zhou Jianping said: "Tiangong-2 is a space laboratory in the true sense, shouldering the mission of verifying the important technology of China’s space station construction."

  Tiangong-2 is a real space laboratory.

  Realize the round-trip transportation between heaven and earth, break through the technology of astronauts’ extravehicular activities, and master the rendezvous and docking technology of spacecraft … Zhou Jianping’s achievements in manned space flight in China in the past ten years are numerous.

  "With the mastery of key technologies in these manned spaceflight projects, the construction of China Space Station has also been put on the agenda." He said, "An important purpose of launching Tiangong-2 Space Laboratory is to verify the key technologies for the construction of China Space Station."

  The launch of Tiangong-2 is the core task of the space laboratory phase of China’s manned spaceflight project. Zhou Jianping said that the tasks of the space laboratory mainly include: on June 25 this year, a new generation of launch vehicle Long March 7 made its first flight, and the purpose of this mission has been achieved; The rendezvous and docking of Tiangong-2 and Shenzhou-11 manned spacecraft will be carried out in October this year; The rendezvous and docking of Tiangong-2 and Tianzhou-1 cargo spacecraft is planned to be implemented in the first half of next year.

  "The whole task is planned to be completed in the first half of next year." Zhou Jianping said.

  The "predecessor" of Tiangong-2 is the backup product of Tiangong-1 target aircraft, and it also adopts the configuration of experimental cabin and resource cabin. In order to adapt to the new mission, researchers modified it. For example, in order to meet the needs of propellant replenishment verification test, the propulsion subsystem of Tiangong-2 was adapted; In order to meet the needs of medium-term stay, the manned livable environment has been greatly improved, and it has the ability to support two astronauts to work and live in orbit for 30 days.

  "So, Tiangong-2 is a real space laboratory in China. Tiangong-2 is called the space laboratory, while Tiangong-1 is the target aircraft. " Zhou Jianping said.

  Tiangong-2 has the basic technical capabilities of China Space Station.

  According to the plan, China will build a space station around 2020, and its overall configuration is three modules-a core module and two experimental modules, each module is 20 tons, and the overall configuration is T-shaped.

  Compared with the space station, Tiangong-2, which weighs 8 tons, is much smaller and lighter, and its mass is less than half that of a cabin of the space station.

  "Sparrows are small and complete. As an on-orbit platform with long-term unmanned independent flight and short-term care, Tiangong-2 has the basic capabilities that the space station needs. " Zhou Jianping said.

  When Tianzhou-1 cargo spacecraft visits Tiangong-2, it can add propellant to Tiangong-2 to make it work longer in orbit. "This is a very important technology for space station construction." Zhou Jianping explained that in the future, the space station will need to fly in orbit for more than ten years, and it is impossible to take all the fuel and consumables at once, so it needs to be replenished in orbit, "just like refueling in the air".

  In a short period of time, two male astronauts will go into space on the Shenzhou XI manned spacecraft and work and live in Tiangong II for 30 days. "The realization of the 30-day stay will accumulate experience for China’s long-term flight of the space station in the future." Zhou Jianping said.

  China will enter the stage of space station construction next year.

  "After the completion of the space laboratory mission, China will enter the stage of space station construction, and we will build a Chinese space station with technological characteristics of the times and China characteristics." Zhou Jianping said, "Around 2018, China will launch the core cabin of the space station."

  China will build a space station that is more economical and informative than the International Space Station. "Information technology, renewable environmental protection, new energy, automation and artificial intelligence technologies will be integrated on the China Space Station." Zhou Jianping said.

  China Space Station is smaller than the International Space Station, with more than 60 tons of three-cabin assembly, which can dock at most two manned spacecraft and one cargo spacecraft. "Our space station is expandable and will further improve its capabilities on the basis of its current composition according to the needs of scientific research and international cooperation." Zhou Jianping said.

  He revealed that after the completion of the space station, the rated design will accommodate three astronauts. Since the space station needs to be manned continuously, the group rotation system will be adopted afterwards, so the maximum number of astronauts in the space station can reach 6 during the rotation period.

  China manned space flight will be normalized.

  Since Yang Liwei’s first flight into space in 2003, 10 astronauts have entered space in China in 13 years.

  "After the completion of the China Space Station, manned space flight will become the norm." Zhou Jianping said, "Generally speaking, at least two crew members and six astronauts need to enter the space station in a year, which means that astronauts’ missions will become more and more frequent."

  "We will select and train more astronauts, and we need more astronauts to fly and enter the space station in the future." Zhou Jianping said.

  The Shenzhou XI manned spacecraft, which will be launched in October, will take two male astronauts to rendezvous and dock with Tiangong-2, and there will be no female astronauts.

  In this regard, Zhou Jianping explained that there are more than 10 astronauts in China at present, and every astronaut wants to have the opportunity to fly, but the space flight arrangement has a reasonable period. "If more astronauts can participate in the mission and accumulate flying experience, it will be of great benefit to improve the overall ability and quality of the astronaut team."

  There are two female astronauts in China, Liu Yang and Wang Yaping. "Although they don’t carry out the mission this time, they are always training carefully." Zhou Jianping said, "In the near future, there will be female astronauts in space flight in China."

  China has the basic ability to carry out manned landing on the moon.

  Internationally, many scientists believe that Mars is an important goal that human beings should pursue and explore. China’s Mars probe has entered the development stage. In this regard, Zhou Jianping said frankly that Mars exploration is a very complicated project.

  "At this stage, manned landing on the moon is the goal closer to mankind." Zhou Jianping believes that to carry out exploration on the moon, we should pay attention to the effectiveness and sustainability of exploration, and finally aim at the development and utilization of lunar resources. "This is the only way to go before landing on Mars".

  "Technically, China Aerospace has the basic ability to carry out manned landing on the moon." Zhou Jianping said that manned landing on the moon is technically more complicated and larger than the manned flight at present. To achieve this goal, China still faces many technical challenges: rockets that need greater carrying capacity, aircraft that can land on the moon and return, and new spacecraft to and from the earth and the moon …

  Hainan Wenchang may become China’s second manned space launch site.

  According to the plan, China Space Station and cargo spacecraft will be launched at the newly-built Wenchang Space Launch Site in Hainan.

  Will Hainan Wenchang become China’s second manned space launch site? Zhou Jianping said that if the manned moon landing project is implemented, the Hainan launch site is technically a better choice, "but now the manned space launch is still in Jiuquan".

  Zhou Jianping said that the new generation rockets, such as Long March 7, have stronger carrying capacity and use non-toxic and pollution-free propellants, so when developing these rockets, the demand for launching manned spacecraft instead of conventional propellants in the future is also taken into account.

Digitalization has made people’s livelihood services have a temperature of over 20 million people to help their elders pay water and electricity bills.

Cover journalist Zhang Yuexi
In 2008, the Shanghai Electric Power Bureau did a "trivial matter" that seems very common today-allowing Shanghainese to pay their electricity bills directly with Alipay without running errands and queuing offline. This accident became a starting point, which opened the prelude to the nationwide online service. Fifteen years later, the problems that can be solved by mobile phones have expanded from the payment of water, electricity and coal in those years to five insurances and one fund, social security accumulation fund, illegal payment of fines, hospital registration, transportation and travel, etc. When going out for business, using mobile phones, "less queuing, less running errands and less cards" has become a vivid embodiment of the generalization and convenience of government and people’s livelihood services in China.
On October 31st, Alipay released the 15th anniversary report of people’s livelihood service. The reporter learned that the data shows that up to now, more than half of China families have completed their work payment through mobile phones, among which more than 20 million users have their elders bound to their water, electricity and coal payment accounts; Since the mobile phone registration service was launched, the average number of queues for everyone has been reduced by 180 times; More than 8,000 kinds of public services have been moved online, and a small online program in 31 provinces across the country has been launched on Alipay. Cars in 1300 cities (including county-level cities) can be solved in the APP, and coin-operated change has become history. ……
Helpless queue less:
Mobile phone payment saves a "golden week"
Running around and running errands in order to do a small thing may be a common memory of many people. Before doing things online, people had to go to bank outlets to queue up in order to pay the electricity bill, and even took half a day off for this. When you go to the hospital to see a doctor, you have to queue up for registration, treatment and payment. It used to be a "wonderful scene" to bring Mazar and bedding to the hospital lobby.
In 2008, online shopping was just emerging, and many users called for it to be as convenient as online shopping. Alipay has experienced several months of communication and technical docking with Shanghai Electric Power Bureau, China Everbright Bank and other institutions. In October of that year, the first online payment of electricity charges was completed in Shanghai, and the original one-hour queue was finally shortened to one minute.
According to the platform data, up to now, more than half of China families have used Alipay to pay their living expenses such as water, electricity and coal. If one online payment can save one hour, this "trivial matter" has saved many families a "golden week" (7.5 days) in the past 15 years. Medical care is also a major pain point for people’s livelihood. Data show that up to now, more than 300 cities and 3,500 hospitals in China have provided patients with online registration, online payment, report inquiry and other services through Alipay. The optimization of these medical procedures can help patients avoid queuing for 3-4 times each time. Based on the average annual number of medical visits per capita published by National Health Commission, over the years, the average number of queues for each person has been reduced by 180 times.
Doing things on the Internet more than running errands, and the digitalization of people’s livelihood services greatly reduces the helpless waiting. Nowadays, young people can freely choose to queue up for their own interests and personal development, and get a glimpse of the social changes in China.
Care for the elderly is much more;
More than 20 million people help their elders pay water and electricity bills, and 70% users tie up medical insurance for the "old and young"
Young people are the main force of mobile phone services, but the convenience of the digital age has also benefited the elderly at home by paying and operating on behalf of others. According to relevant data, more than 20 million users have added their elders to their payment accounts, so that the elderly don’t have to queue up hard.
In the past, the old people were most afraid of forgetting to bring their medical insurance card or the card balance was not enough. Since this year, the "family account" function of medical insurance electronic certificate has been launched to pay Alipay, which supports users to help their families activate the medical insurance electronic certificate, so that the old people who don’t have smart phones can also see a doctor and buy medicines on the code. The data shows that about 70% people use medical insurance family accounts to help the "one old and one young" at home to bind medical insurance. In addition, there are medical insurance families to help each other, so that the amount of medical insurance can be used by the elderly at home; Old people live with their children in other places, or they can seek medical treatment in other places for the record, so as to avoid the trouble of running back to their hometown for reimbursement.
Users can help their families activate medical insurance electronic certificate.
Let digital services benefit the elderly, and many government agencies are also launching innovative measures. Jiangxi government services have taken the lead in launching the "elderly area" in the country, providing large-character versions and voice search services for the elderly. Old people who are retired and inconvenient to travel can prove that they have the qualification to receive security money by brushing their faces or acting on behalf of relatives and friends through "Ganfutong".
The geographical digital divide has narrowed:
The national service hall is "surfing the Internet" and the wind of scanning the code by car has blown to Xizang.
In 2021, mobile phone payment for water, electricity and coal was introduced in Ali, Tibet. In September, 2023, the wind of bus scanning code was also blown to Lhasa, Xizang. Now, herders in Tibetan areas, together with urban white-collar workers in Beijing and Shanghai, have the same digital service experience in such trivial matters, and the digital gap between regions is also narrowing. "Since 2018, we have been actively promoting mobile payment, hanging the receipt code on the bus and scanning the passengers on the bus. Now it has evolved into direct code brushing. Many people don’t know that mobile payment in Xizang has developed very fast. According to the data, mobile payment in Xizang ranks first in the country for five years," said Mi Malam, director of the cashier center of Lhasa bus operation company.
According to the report data, there are already 1,300 cities (including county-level cities) in China that support scanning code to ride, and coin-in and change-in by car have become history. The average annual service of platform travel business exceeds 8 billion person-times, and the average annual carbon emission reduction exceeds 500,000 tons.
The development of digital government affairs has also brought the experience of ordinary people in different regions closer together. In 2015, the State Council issued "Guiding Opinions on Actively Promoting the internet plus Action", and "internet plus" was written into the government work report, and "Internet+government services" was vigorously promoted, so that residents and enterprises could run fewer errands, handle affairs better and avoid congestion, and various institutions also launched innovative "online services". The data shows that from 2015 to today, 31 provinces, 60 cities and over 30 national service platforms across the country have opened Alipay applets, providing more than 8,000 kinds of online public services including public security, social security, provident fund, taxation, civil affairs, education, water and electricity, transportation and travel, and the citizens have changed from "running at most once" to "not running at all".
The data proves the development of digitalization and the achievements of building a service-oriented government in China, and also witnesses the changes of the times and the temperature of social sentiment.

National Fitness Day | Zero distance from Olympic champions, making sports natural.

(People’s Daily Health Client Xin Li)"Insisting on sports doesn’t need much intensity" and "turning sports into a habit like eating and drinking water" … On August 8, a series of activities "I am zero distance from Olympic champions", jointly sponsored by People’s Daily Health Client and China Health Management Association, were held in the People’s Daily Health Client Broadcasting Hall. Wu Jingyu, Fan Kexin, Yi Siling, Guo Weiyang and other Olympic champions came out to tell you how to get yourself moving and how to exercise scientifically.
Olympic champion Wu Jingyu leads pupils to learn Taekwondo.
Wu Jingyu: Turn exercise into a habit.
As the first female athlete to participate in four consecutive Olympic Games in the history of Taekwondo, Wu Jingyu, a two-time Taekwondo Olympic champion, explained her love for Taekwondo and sports with her actions, and hoped to convey her persistence and love.
How can the general public turn ideas into actions? How can we persist in exercise? Wu Jingyu said that insisting on exercise does not mean how hard you have to do every day, and exercise like an athlete. The real healthy exercise is to take out your spare time to do simple stretching, or to go running with your family and do light strength exercise in your spare time. "Looking for any free opportunity to exercise is not how to persist, but to develop it into a habit, just like brushing your teeth, washing your face and eating every day."
Nowadays, sports has become a habit and has been integrated into Wu Jingyu’s family. Her husband, Hou Kun, a member of the Cultural and Olympic Heritage Committee of the International Olympic Committee, is even more blunt: "Sports don’t need to persist, they just need to become habits. Find the feeling that if you don’t keep fit every day, you will feel shortcomings, so that exercise will naturally become a part of life. "
Wu Jingyu and her husband, Hou Kun, member of the Cultural and Olympic Heritage Committee of the International Olympic Committee, shared the scene.
Fan Kexin: Everything in life can be a tool for sports.
The Beijing Winter Olympics, which just passed this year, rekindled the public’s enthusiasm for sports.
After the birth of the first gold medal of the China delegation in the Beijing Winter Olympics, the scene in which gold medalist Fan Kexin and teammate Wu Dajing comforted each other with tears in their eyes also touched countless people. Fan Kexin also hopes that as an Olympic champion, he can drive more people to appreciate the charm of sports. "Just like our athletes train every day to make a breakthrough, the first step taken by the public when exercising, I think this is a breakthrough."
Fan Kexin shared that during the adjustment period without training, he would do some aerobic training, and running was the easiest. In addition, because of the epidemic situation, people could use their daily necessities at home, such as a bucket of oil, a bag of rice and even two bottles of mineral water, to do some simple exercises. At the scene of the activity, Fan Kexin also personally demonstrated how to exercise with mineral water.
Guo Weiyang: To find a comfortable time to exercise, three points need to be guaranteed.
Guo Weiyang, the champion of the men’s gymnastics team at the 2012 London Olympic Games, was an all-around gymnast when he was in the national team. He also kept exercising after retiring. He laughed and said that his good figure as an athlete has remained unchanged. In his opinion, the busier the office worker, the more time he should take to exercise. Exercise can not only adjust his body, but also adjust his mentality.
Guo Weiyang suggested that you can find a comfortable time to exercise, but not too late. There are three points to pay attention to in exercise: one is to fully warm up; Second, the exercise should be gradually increased, not too fierce; Third, you must do some stretching after exercise. Stretching can not only help the body recover, but also prevent injuries.
The guests played sports with Olympic champion Fan Kexin.
Yi Siling: Women need strength training more.
Yi Siling, the gold medal winner of this event in the 2012 London Olympic Games, is the only grand slam winner of the women’s 10m air rifle so far. Today, she is the head coach of Guangdong shooting team and the mother of two children in her life.
In the live connection, Yi Siling also specially suggested that women should choose more strength training. She said that with the increase of age, the content of human muscle and collagen are slowly losing, so the meat on the body will gradually become slack.
She especially suggested that sedentary women do some hip bridge exercises to strengthen hip muscles and improve leg shape. In addition, the movement of the back of the neck and cheeks can improve the shoulder width, reduce some fat on the back and make yourself younger and more comfortable.
Li Chenyu, assistant editor-in-chief of People’s Daily Health Client and People’s Daily Health Times, and Wu Guangliang, chairman of the Sports Health Management Committee of China Health Management Association, presented certificates to the Olympic champions.
Wu Guangliang: Tell the story of China Olympic Games well and implement the Healthy China Action.
As one of the initiators of the "Olympic Champion Helps Healthy China" series activities and the "Zero Distance between me and the Olympic Champion" experience activities, Wu Guangliang, chairman of the Sports Health Management Committee of China Health Management Association, proposed that he hoped to realize the "three views" through the activities from the beginning of last year.
First, take Chinese Olympic Champion as the representative to tell the story of China to the world. Let the world know about our Chinese Olympic Champion and the Olympic champion spirit cultivated on our cultural soil; Secondly, Olympic champions are invited to participate in the 15 special action programs of Healthy China. Thirdly, I hope that through the zero-distance interaction between the public and Olympic champions, the spirit of China Olympic Games will be promoted, the concept of sports health will be spread, and the physical quality of the whole people will be improved.

Champion strength helps the deep integration of national fitness and national health.
In the newly revised sports law, it is written into law to promote the deep integration of national fitness and national health. At the event site, the demonstration of Olympic champions also inspired everyone’s enthusiasm for sports, and the participating guests shared their feelings of learning from Olympic champions and personal fitness.
Sun Guoying, director of the Ethnic and Religious Committee of the Standing Committee of the CPPCC in Haidian District, Beijing, said that he went to work early every morning and did exercise for about an hour after breakfast, brisk walking or some stretching. Kong Fanjing, a national model worker and winner of the May 1 ST Labor Medal, said that he started walking to and from work at the age of 30. Until now, at the age of 67, he still insists on walking within 5 kilometers and riding a bike at 30 or 40 kilometers.
Wang Zongchang, member of the Party Committee and deputy general manager of China Workers’ International Travel Service, is also the director of the National Workers’ Health Promotion Project Office. He said that the first task of promoting the health of the 400 million workers in China is to popularize health knowledge. I hope the Olympic champion can drive the popular science movement. Zhang Xiumei, founder and general manager of Wanfang Medical Network, said that following the Olympic champion movement on the spot, he saw that the two Olympic champions were thin but had strong control over their movements, which fully demonstrated the importance of muscle strength. How to improve the muscle strength of the whole people so as to promote the health of the whole people has also been her concern.
"Exercise is one of the most effective ways to get healthy. The Olympic champions’ tenacious struggle and selfless dedication on the field have inspired people to forge ahead and never give up, and they have strong appeal and appeal. " Hao Yanyan, secretary and executive secretary of China Health Management Association, said, "We hope that with the support and help of all parties, we will popularize sports health knowledge through this series of activities, carry forward the Olympic champion spirit, and contribute to the better tomorrow of national fitness and national health, and help build a healthy China."

  "China Famous Cuisine Collection (Sichuan)" is a set of Sichuan cuisine recipes compiled by the Friends of Japanese Housewives Association and Sichuan Vegetable Catering Service Company in 1982. The series consists of nine volumes, including two Sichuan dishes, both in Chinese and Japanese. Because of its exquisite production, this series of books has a great influence in China and Japan. The Friends of Japanese Housewives also specially invited chefs from Beijing and Sichuan to Japan to give lectures and publicize the book.

  In order to cooperate with the compilation of this set of books, Sichuan Vegetable Catering Service Company carefully selected the most famous restaurants in Chengdu and Chongqing and its surrounding areas, such as Chengdu Furong Restaurant, Chengdu Restaurant and Rongleyuan. Chongqing’s old Sichuan and xiaodongtian; Happy restaurant in Dujiangyan and Yudong restaurant in Leshan provide shooting dishes, which are made by the most experienced chefs in major restaurants, and even the tableware is carefully selected. There are not only beautiful pictures of various famous dishes in the series, but also the introduction of major restaurants and the production methods and background of famous dishes.

  Wang Development said that many dishes in China Famous Cuisine Collection (Sichuan) were precious dishes handed down from the Republic of China, but with the passage of time, many dishes are now difficult to find in restaurants in the streets. In order to develop traditional Sichuan cuisine better, it is necessary to retain its flavor, improve its expression and be close to today’s young people.

  During the event, Shi Guanghua, Zhou Ping, Wu Keqin and others also shared the latest masterpiece My Sichuan Cuisine Taste by Shi Guanghua, a scholar of Sichuan cuisine culture and food consultant of China on the Tip of the Tongue and Flavor World. This book not only has the author’s personal experience of cooking, but also has the selection of ingredients and the life sentiment contained in it, as well as the anecdotes that are well-known in the history of Sichuan cuisine.

  "Why does Sichuan cuisine carry the taste to the extreme? This is inseparable from the discovery of Jingyan in Sichuan. Salt is the root of the growth of Sichuan cuisine. Salt gives birth to all kinds of flavors. Whether it is pepper or pepper, if you want to taste Sichuan cuisine, you will eventually return to salt. " Shi Guanghua said that the inheritance of Sichuan cuisine requires not only technical inheritance, but also spiritual inheritance. Sichuan cuisine can be based on the world, not only because it has been passed down from generation to generation by masters, but also because it has integrated the cooking skills of the Chinese nation and the essence of Chinese culture.

  Mr. Li Zuomin, the vice president and secretary general of the Sichuan Oral History Professional Committee, said: "Spicy is the soul of Sichuan cuisine. The spicy taste in Sichuan cuisine is not a shame, but a feature and pride of Sichuan cuisine. It is unnecessary to keep it a secret, not to mention that there are also non-spicy dishes in Sichuan cuisine every time. Spicy and not spicy, they are all Sichuan dishes. " (End)
