  This year’s Spring Festival is the first Spring Festival when the epidemic prevention and control in China has entered a new stage. Tourists in popular scenic spots are weaving, and the recovery of tourism has driven the catering, accommodation, retail and other service industries to continue to pick up, and fireworks are rising everywhere, which is full of strong flavor of the year. The reporter interviewed a number of foreign friends who celebrated the Spring Festival of the Year of the Rabbit in various parts of China, and listened to their stories about the year and witnessed a vibrant China together.

  The street is decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and the hot pot restaurant is full of people. At present, it is the busiest time in Chongqing. Alex White fished out a piece of spicy beef from a steaming hot pot, mixed it with dipping sauce, took a bite and gave a thumbs up.

  This year is the second time that the 52-year-old Canadian has spent the Spring Festival in China. "Walking in the street, people’s faces are filled with smiles. The atmosphere here is too noisy! " As a foreign employee of Chongqing International Communication Center, Alex likes to record his life with a lens. Red lanterns, bubbling hot pot and colorful lighting … … In his lens, this year’s Spring Festival in Chongqing is particularly jubilant.

  As early as 2002, Alex came to China to work in trade. In Beijing, Shanghai and Shenzhen, Alex has traveled through many cities in China. In 2021, he settled in Chongqing and became a media person, introducing Chongqing and China to the world.

  "This Spring Festival, I feel that China’s economic vitality has been further released after the COVID-19 epidemic." Alex said that the street was bustling and crowded, restoring the excitement of the past. "There are many foreign tourists in Hongyadong. Everyone tastes local food and takes photos with their mobile phones to record this festive Spring Festival."

  Because of the need of work, Alex often travels by train. Before and after the Spring Festival, Spring Festival travel rush, who was busy, made him the most unforgettable. There were also many returnees carrying big bags and small bags in his lens. "After working outside for a year, they finally set foot on the train home." Reunion is Alex’s impression of the Spring Festival. "No matter how far away, people have to go home to reunite with their loved ones."

  This year’s Spring Festival, Alex walked into Xinglong Town, Yubei District with shooting equipment, learned about the rural New Year customs there, and showed the Spring Festival culture to the world through video and live broadcast. "What is commendable is that we can see that traditional cultural customs have been well preserved here, and that local infrastructure is becoming more and more perfect. Big data and artificial intelligence have been applied to grassroots governance, and villagers have lived a more comfortable life." He said.

  Chaotianmen Market in Yuzhong District is Alex’s favorite place to visit in Chongqing. "There are all kinds of special snacks and cheap clothes. Look at this shirt on me, I bought it at Chaotianmen Market." Before the Spring Festival, Alex and his wife went to Chaotianmen Market to find a lot of new year’s goods, and dressed up their own flavor. Not only that, Alex did as the Romans do, specially bought chafing dish ingredients, and invited friends from China to come home for dinner to celebrate this most important festival for Chinese.

  On New Year’s Eve, Alex started a special Chinese New Year live broadcast in front of the camera. That night, a light and shadow drone fireworks show called "New Era, New Journey, New Chongqing" was held at the intersection of the Yangtze River and Jialing River. Alex introduced this grand event to the world through live webcast, attracting more than 100,000 netizens to watch. “3、2、1… …” When the countdown ended and the Chinese New Year bell rang, Alex cheered and made his own New Year’s wish: "I look forward to recording more China stories through my lens in the new year." At the end of the live broadcast, he gave a big smile to the camera and sent an invitation from China to netizens: "I love China and hope more friends from all over the world can visit China."

  Yemeni technicians engaged in research and development in Guangzhou, Guangdong — —

  "Reunion and affection make people feel warm."

  Reporter Jiang Xiaodan

  "Happy New Year! Happy New Year! " At the beginning of the Year of the Rabbit, Mualim Mohammed (Chinese name Bila) from Yemen warmly exchanged holiday greetings with his neighbors in his own community in Guangzhou. This year is the fourth Spring Festival that the Bila family spent in China. "This year’s Spring Festival is very lively, and our family has a good time!" Facing the reporter’s interview, Bila expressed her happy feeling of spending the Spring Festival in China with fluent Chinese.

  Bila, 43, came to China to study in 2009, and chose to stay in China after her PhD. She is currently engaged in medical device research and development in Guangzhou. Living in China for many years, Bila made many local friends. He likes to spend the Spring Festival in China. "China friends are very hospitable. During the Chinese New Year, we get together, give red envelopes and celebrate the New Year. It is very lively and everyone is very happy." Bila is also interested in the traditional culture of China behind the Spring Festival. In his view, China has a profound historical and cultural heritage, and the cohesion of Chinese culture is particularly prominent during the Spring Festival. "In China, you can often see a family traveling together. The Spring Festival is an important moment for family reunion in a year. This kind of reunion and affection makes people feel warm. "

  On New Year’s Day, Bila and his wife took their three children to Yuexiu West Lake Flower Market, which is located on Beijing Road Pedestrian Street in Yuexiu District. The flower market, which was once closed due to the COVID-19 epidemic, reopened this year to welcome guests, making the family excited. The flower market is crowded with people, all kinds of flowers are dazzling, and all kinds of old-fashioned products are dazzling. The family strolled around the flower market again and again. Bila bought a New Year picture with flowers and birds. "It’s very festive to go home and hang it in the living room."

  Tasting delicious food is also an important activity for the Bila family during the Spring Festival. This year, besides traditional Cantonese refreshments such as shrimp dumplings and barbecued pork buns, the Bila family also went to eat the family’s favorite hot pot. Although the restaurant was full of diners and it took a lot of time to wait for them, the family still ate contentedly. "We stayed in Hunan for several years before, and we were used to the spicy taste. Hot pot is also our favorite dish. It’s delicious." Bila said.

  In addition to the traditional annual custom activities, Bila also took her family to "catch up with fashion" — — Go camping in Foshan Nanhai. In the warm sunshine, family and friends sit in tents, cook tea around the stove, talk about life in the past year and feel relaxed and comfortable in nature. "The children also took a hot air balloon and the balloon took off. They waved their arms in the air and were very happy. These days, our family really felt the strong flavor of the year. "

  Bila is full of expectations for the coming year. "This year has made a good start. The economic vitality of various places is gradually recovering. Everyone is full of confidence and China will develop better and better." After not returning to Yemen for several years, Bila plans to visit his hometown this year. "I learned that in recent years, the China medical team has worked closely with local medical staff in Yemen to help carry out medical work and forged a profound friendship with the Yemeni people. In the future, I hope to develop more practical medical devices through my own work and contribute to deepening the friendly cooperation between the two countries in health. "

  British ceramic artists who started their business in Jingdezhen, Jiangxi — —

  "All fields are full of vitality."

  Reporter Wang Dan

  During the Spring Festival, the Sanbao International Porcelain Valley, located in Zhushan District, Jingdezhen, Jiangxi Province, was particularly lively. The festive Year of the Rabbit stickers and red Chinese knots create a strong festive atmosphere. Several "Jing Piao" artists from different countries gathered here to watch local calligraphy artists write big blessings with one stroke, and to celebrate the Spring Festival with friends in China.

  "I have participated in the Spring Festival activities held in Jingdezhen in recent years!" Guy Thompson, a British ceramic artist (Chinese name is Gaibotian), was very excited at the scene. After posting the blessing, he rolled up his sleeves and took part in the jiaozi. I saw that he picked up a dumpling skin and held it in his hand, then dug up a spoonful of stuffing and put it in the middle of the dumpling skin. "The material should be filled and filled, but not too much, and then gently squeeze it in the middle with both hands and four fingers. A jiaozi is formed!" Gabriel happily shared with reporters the "Secret of Bao jiaozi" taught by friends in China.

  Gabriel, 52, from London, England, used to be an Asian executive of a multinational bank. Today, he still remembers, "When I first came to Jingdezhen 10 years ago, I was deeply attracted by the cultural heritage of the Millennium Porcelain Capital". After that, Gabriel stayed, studied painting first, then studied pottery, and started his entrepreneurial road in Jingdezhen. He hopes to combine China’s traditional porcelain-making technology with modern commerce to create a ceramic brand that blends Chinese and Western. Five years ago, his ceramic studio was officially opened. Since then, the doctor of condensed matter physics has devoted a lot of energy to the study of ceramic technology and spent a lot of time using the hair color, monochrome, multicolor, color matching and so on of the colored tableware in the glaze.

  Culture is wonderful because of communication and prosperous because of openness. In Gabriel’s view, ceramic culture is a valuable asset of Jingdezhen, and it should be promoted to innovate and develop ceramic culture on the basis of inheritance and protection, and promote the exchange and integration of Chinese and Western cultures. "I hope my products can play a bridge role in the cultural exchange between Chinese and foreign ceramics." Gabriel said.

  In the new year, Jingdezhen took the opportunity of the Spring Festival to release the vitality of cultural tourism. In the Taoxichuan Cultural and Creative District and Yuyao Jingxiang, the punching place in online celebrity, visit the Lantern Festival, solve riddles on the lanterns, and make tanghua … … All kinds of Spring Festival garden activities are dizzying. Gaibotian told reporters that if you are interested, you can also take part in non-legacy courses in Taogong School in Taoxichuan, among which batik, bamboo weaving, kite making, cloisonne enamel, oil-paper umbrella and paper-cut lantern making have been widely welcomed by Chinese and foreign friends.

  "With the continuous optimization of epidemic prevention and control measures in China, the street corner roadway in Jingdezhen has gradually recovered its former liveliness, and people are everywhere. Whether it is cultural exchange or economic development, all fields of this city are full of vitality. I believe that this vitality will continue in the future. " Talking about the future of this Millennium porcelain capital, Gabriel is full of expectations.

  French experts from Chinese enterprises in Puyang, Henan Province for the New Year — —

  "The development and progress of China is all-round."

  Reporter Bi Jingjin

  "Come back for the New Year this year?" On the phone, my mother’s earnest expectation evoked Xu Jieyuan’s deep homesickness. She and her husband, Gilm Gibe, bought high-speed train tickets early and prepared to go back to their hometown in Puyang, Henan for the Spring Festival.

  Both Xu Jieyuan and Gilm work in the Beijing headquarters of China Petrochemical National Exploration Company. In the early morning of January 17, the two set off from home and took a taxi to Beijing West Railway Station. Although there is a bit of traffic jam on the road, Gilm is very happy to see the lively Beijing. "During this time, there are people everywhere in Beijing, whether it is shopping centers, tourist attractions or restaurants. The consumer market has suddenly warmed up, making people feel the vitality of China’s economic development. " As a financial expert, Gilm is good at sensing economic development and changes from subtle points.

  At the station, the waiting hall was crowded; On the high-speed train, the carriage was full. "The car is full of passengers who go home for the New Year. Many people have a lot of new year’s goods in big bags." Gilm and his wife also bought a lot of sausages, bacon, autumn moon pears and other new year’s goods online, which are all things that family members love to eat. "China’s e-commerce is very developed, and the logistics is very smooth. After placing the order, in less than two days, the new year’s goods were sent to the mother-in-law’s house, which is very convenient! "

  "During the journey, I looked up from time to time to enjoy the scenery of the vast plains outside the window while reading a book, which was very pleasant." Gilm described this high-speed train trip home as "fast and comfortable". Nearly three hours later, he and his wife arrived at the finish line. Walking out of the station, seeing the returning people and their relatives embrace and reunite, Gilm felt a warm current in his heart. "The wanderers who came home became small families, and there were bursts of happy laughter in their ears, which made people feel the meaning of home more truly."

  Xu Jieyuan’s sister specially drove the newly bought car to pick them up. Along the way, red lanterns and Chinese knots were hung in the streets and alleys, which decorated the city with joy. "China is developing too fast! After three years of absence, this Central Plains city has changed its appearance. " On New Year’s Eve, the New Year’s Eve dinner was held. Sauced beef, roast chicken at Daokou, and hot jiaozi … … In front of a table of eastern Henan-style delicacies, the family enjoyed themselves and talked about the changes in their lives and work over the years.

  Gilm plans to visit his family in Paris with his wife in April this year. "I prepared Chinese-made red wine and iced wine for my father, and China exquisite ornaments and stationery for my mother and sister." He said that nowadays, at home in the French, you can see more and more "Made in China" products, which not only have price advantages, but also have better and better quality. "From the rapidly developing infrastructure to the better and better quality ‘ China Zhizao ’ China’s development and progress are all-round. " Gilm also paid attention to the data of economic and social development in 2022 released by the National Bureau of Statistics of China. "Last year, China’s GDP increased by 3%, which was impressive. It was not easy to achieve such remarkable results, which made people look forward to the future development of China. I believe that China’s economy will usher in new and faster development in 2023. "

Advanced deeds of "August 1st Medal" winners

  Du fuguo

  Qian Qihu

  Nie Haisheng

  Du Fuguo — —

  Loyal mission, brave and fearless demining hero

  "Stand back and let me come", six words clank with iron bones, blocking danger with flesh and blood, even if you are rolling in the deep. This is an award speech given to Du Fuguo by "Touching China".

  On October 11, 2018, Du Fuguo found a heavy Grenade in the mine-clearing operation in the bazi minefield on the west side of Laoshan, Malipo County, Yunnan Province. He immediately asked his comrades in the same group to step back and go forward alone to find out the situation. Suddenly there was a loud bang and the Grenade exploded. At the moment of life and death, he subconsciously leans in the direction of his comrades, blocking the explosion shock wave and shrapnel, protecting his comrades with his body, and losing his eyes and hands forever.

  During his 12-year military career, Du Fuguo had three important choices: the first time he joined the army and came to a border guard regiment in Yunnan. He could have been an excellent border guard all the time, but he chose to take part in mine clearance; The second time, after coming to the mine-sweeping team, the captain found that his cooking skills were good, and he intended to let him be a cook, but he chose to go to the front line to mine; The third time, when mine clearance was in distress, he chose to let his comrades back.

  Minesweepers take the "Yin-Yang Road", pass the "Death Gate" and pull out the "Tiger’s Mouth Teeth", and they are the closest people to death in peacetime. Du Fuguo knows what this choice means again and again, but why did he turn his back?

  The answer is written in Du Fuguo’s invitation letter. In June 2015, he wrote in the application letter submitted to the party branch of the company: "Just like when I joined the army five years ago, I was thinking about what kind of life was really meaningful and valuable. The only measure is what you have really done for your country … … I feel that this is my mission, and a voice told me: I am going to mine! "

  In the face of life and death minefields, Du Fuguo trained hard in mine clearance skills, mastered more than 10 kinds of mine clearance methods in just three months, and got the "admission ticket" for mine clearance with excellent results. In the past three years, he has been in and out of the minefield for more than 1,000 times, removed more than 2,400 mines and explosives, and handled more than 20 dangerous situations, realizing the transformation from "guarding the border" to "all-around Raytheon".

  After Du Fuguo was injured, his life was dying. His palms were blown off on the spot, his eyes broke, his contents overflowed, and his right eyeball fell off. The area from the root of his thigh to his face was over 90% … …

  Being seriously injured and disabled is a heavy blow to anyone, but Du Fuguo has superhuman will, which is also a unique quality of heroes.

  After five consecutive major operations for three days and three nights, Du Fuguo rushed out of the "ghost gate". After regaining consciousness, his first reaction was to ask his comrades how it was. The first request was: "Hurry up and cure my injury, I have to go mine!"

  How to tell Du Fuguo the real injury? Army leaders and experts have worked out many sets of psychological intervention programs for him. However, none of these schemes are useful. Knowing the real injury, Du Fuguo was silent for a few seconds and comforted the leaders and doctors with a trembling voice: "I know, don’t worry, I will be strong! I can’t mine, but I can tell people the story of mine clearance. "

  On July 31, 2019, the Chairman of the Supreme Leader attached a British model medal to Du Fuguo, issued a certificate and took a group photo with him. He raised his broken arm and gave a special military salute to the commander in chief. He told everyone in such a strong way that he is a soldier at any time and will run with a struggling attitude to dream.

  Du Fuguo overcame many difficulties with amazing perseverance. Less than a month after the operation, he was helped to get out of bed and walk; In a month and a half, he set up his elbows on the hospital bed as a flat support. He wants to run, on the anti-gravity platform, a run is 10 kilometers; He wants to write, holding a special pen with his stump and practicing one stroke at a time; He wants to broadcast, starting with pronouncing words and making sounds, and learning word by word with the teaching courseware … …

  With an optimistic attitude and tenacity of never giving up, Du Fuguo overcame the pain and disability. He can dress, wash, fold the quilt, open the door, run, walk with a blind stick and eat with a robot.

  "rush! Go ahead, go … …” Near the finish line, at the prompt of his comrades, Du Fuguo, dressed in combat uniform, struggled to wave his broken arm and ran steadily on the playground, with crystal sweat oozing from his forehead. After crossing the finish line, he smiled happily like a child.

  "Good evening, listeners, this is the voice of the southern land. At 8 o’clock in the evening, accompany everyone who wears camouflage … …” On March 8, 2020, a series of radio programs entitled "Rich Countries Accompany You to Read Good Books" was officially launched on the basis of the Army WeChat WeChat official account in the Southern Theater. In order to enhance the broadcast effect, Du Fuguo gave up the production mode of reading by others, rereading by himself and editing later, and insisted on memorizing the full text independently.

  In recent years, Du Fuguo has helped Malipo County, which once fought, get rid of poverty with practical actions; As an off-campus counselor of Chongqing Special Education Center, it brings infinite light and strength to blind children.

  Du Fuguo has been to Peking University, the Army Academy of Border and Coastal Defence and other military units for more than 30 times. Combining his own growth experience, he talked about his initial heart and feelings, told the story of strengthening the army, spread the spirit of "let me do it", and inspired more dream catchers in the new era to move forward bravely.

  Qian Qihu — —

  Protection engineering experts who strengthen the army through science and technology and cast shields for the country.

  Just after attending a project appraisal meeting, Academician Qian Qihu took his suitcase and embarked on a business trip.

  It is hard to imagine that this is the life of an 80-year-old man As the founder of modern protection engineering theory and the discipline of protection engineering, Qian Qihu was still running around like a trapeze artist when many people had already retired. This kind of life, he doesn’t feel tired, but feels "living a full life, with a sense of accomplishment and happiness".

  "What does a person live for?" This is the first revolutionary outlook on life education that Qian Qihu received when he was studying in Harbin Institute of Military Engineering more than 60 years ago.

  Strive for a better life and devote yourself to the dream of strengthening the country. Since joining the work, Qian Qihu has always adhered to the childlike feelings of loving the party, serving the country and strengthening the army. He has fought in the front line of projects such as deep mountains, Gobi desert and frontier islands, and made great contributions to the development of China’s protection projects. He has handed over his life answer sheet with practical actions: the needs of the country, my ideal.

  Initial heart is the eternal brand engraved in Qian Qihu’s heart by the times. In the early 1970s, there was a loud noise in the Gobi, and a mushroom cloud … … When people cheered and celebrated, a group of researchers dressed in protective clothing quickly rushed into the nuclear explosion center to investigate the explosion site, and Qian Qihu was one of them.

  That year, Qian Qihu was ordered to design the aircraft hangar protection door for the Air Force. In order to find out the problems existing in the original design scheme, he went to the nuclear explosion test site to investigate and study.

  After in-depth investigation and thinking, Qian Qihu boldly decided to adopt the newly emerging finite element method, but it involves a lot of engineering structure calculation.

  At that time, there was a shortage of large-scale computer equipment in China. In order to get the most scientific solution, he traveled back and forth in Beijing and Shanghai, using the gap between eating and sleeping with others on holidays to play "time difference" to rub equipment.

  Two years later, when the protective door of the underground hangar with the longest span and the highest resistance in China passed the appraisal, he suffered from severe duodenal ulcer and gastric ulcer.

  Those who dare to climb never stop. Then, while the iron is hot, he began to tackle the research problem of "the application of finite element method in engineering structure calculation". Long-term fatigue induced hemorrhoids again, but he still insisted on working for more than 12 hours a day, and he was too painful to sit down, so he wrote a monograph on the bed, which won the major scientific and technological achievement award of the National Science and Technology Conference soon after it came out.

  "Everything in the world is mutually reinforcing, and if there is a spear, there must be a shield." At that time, China was facing severe external threats. In Qian Qihu’s view, if nuclear weapons were sharp spears against hostile military forces, then the protection project was a solid shield.

  With the continuous updating of reconnaissance means and the emergence of high-tech weapons and precision-guided weapons, protection projects are often "unable to hide or resist" in a highly transparent battlefield, especially when the world’s military powers begin to develop precision-guided earth-penetrating bombs, which poses a great threat to protection projects.

  “‘ Spear ’ Upgraded, our ‘ Shield ’ It is necessary to upgrade in time. " Facing the protection problems of world-class national defense projects, Qian Qihu led the team to climb the peak of science and technology, established academic theories and technical systems from shallow-buried projects to deep-buried projects, from single projects to engineering system protection, from conventional resistance to ultra-high resistance protection, formulated China’s first protection standard for civil air defense projects, and solved a series of key technical problems in nuclear and conventional weapons engineering protection. In 2019, Qian Qihu won the highest award in the field of science and technology in China — — The highest national science and technology award in 2018.

  The great teacher is for the country and the people. As a member of the expert group of major projects in many countries, Qian Qihu has put forward practical and important consulting suggestions on the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, xiong’an new area, South-to-North Water Transfer Project, West-to-East Gas Transmission Project and underground energy storage. After retirement, he is still active in the forefront of national strategic protection project construction, actively making suggestions for the construction of sichuan-tibet railway and the demonstration of Bohai Bay subsea tunnel.

  "A person can achieve something and show his value only by closely linking his personal ideals with the needs of the party and the country and the future and destiny of the nation." Talking about his own life course, Qian Qihu’s eyes revealed a firm belief.

  "Leave better opportunities to young people" is Qian Qihu’s educational philosophy. In 2009, he voluntarily gave up his chance to be nominated and recommended Feng Xiating, a young scholar, as the president of the International Society of Rock Mechanics: "The world rock mechanics research center is in China, and Feng Xiating is young and capable and has dreams." In the end, Feng Xiating became the only China expert who has served as the president of the Institute so far.

  "I have engaged in so many topics in my life, but I feel that cultivating talents is always my biggest topic." Talking about the future, Qian Qihu is full of ardent expectations for talented people.

  For decades, a large number of outstanding talents trained in Qian Qihu have become the backbone in the field of protection engineering. In 2019, he donated all the 8 million yuan prize of the highest national science and technology award to poor students, helping them realize their dream of going to school.

  "Although I am over 80 years old, I always feel that there are still many things to do. Create an indestructible ‘ Great underground steel wall ’ It is my lifelong pursuit, and it is also my career and happiness! " Qian Qihu said that in his lifetime, he will continue to forge a shield for his country.

  Nie Haisheng — —

  A heroic astronaut who is determined to serve the country and patrol space for three times.

  In 1996, Nie Haisheng actively responded to the call of the Party and resolutely signed up for the astronaut selection. He was selected from more than 1,500 outstanding air force pilots and stood out from the crowd. In 1998, he became the first batch of astronauts in China. In the past 24 years, he has always kept in mind the initial mission of "going out to space for the motherland", always maintained the true nature of a soldier who "listens to the call and chooses", persisted in hard training and always prepared, and was ordered to back up and go out for three times, successfully completing the manned missions of Shenzhou VI, Shenzhou X and Shenzhou XII, and wrote his infinite loyalty to the party with the magnificent track of traveling in space.

  In October, 2003, Shenzhou 5 manned mission, Nie Haisheng ranked first in the flight echelon, but missed the dream of flying. In the face of the Shenzhou VI manned mission on the agenda, he made up his mind secretly: keep working hard and never give up! Later, he devoted himself to the selection training against time. He hardly stepped out of Beijing Aerospace City, didn’t sleep before 12 o’clock at night, and stayed in the simulation cabin for seven or eight hours, even on weekends and holidays. After numerous trainings, I know thousands of data like the back of my hand, and I have mastered all flight procedures and operating rules. At the critical stage of preparing for the war, Nie Haisheng’s mother suddenly suffered from cerebral hemorrhage and coma, and organized a special permission for him to go home to visit. After only three days, he returned to training and explained the great love feelings of "I would rather be ashamed of my family than my motherland" with actions. In the individual assessment in the near future, Nie Haisheng got a rare full mark in the whole assessment, and was selected into the Shenzhou VI crew with excellent results. On October 12th, 2005, Nie Haisheng and his fellow astronauts went out in the snow and made their first battle in space, achieving a great leap from "one person for one day" to "many people for many days".

  In 2011, Nie Haisheng was promoted to the rank of Major General. At this time, he had already won many honors, but he repeatedly cleared his achievements and hid his honors and participated in the group selection. He often said: "Flying is my profession and my mission. Both generals and soldiers are honored by their mission. As long as I can fly, I must get everything ready. " In June 2013, with excellent quality, rich experience and superb technology, Nie Haisheng was gloriously selected as the commander of the Shenzhou-10 crew, led two new comrades-in-arms to go out to space again, manually controlled the rendezvous and docking of the Shenzhou-10 manned spacecraft and the Tiangong-1 target aircraft, conducted space teaching with the astronauts in the same crew, and made young people across the country approach, understand and love space in a unique way for astronauts.

  Returning from flying twice, my heart is always the same. As the oldest astronaut in the team, Nie Haisheng’s physiological functions are declining under normal circumstances, but he opposes the "laws of nature" with firm beliefs and extraordinary training. He participates in the same training subjects and challenges the same training difficulty as other young astronauts. He wears an underwater training suit of about 160 kilograms and practices in deep water for more than 6 hours, and bears the pressure of 8 times his own weight in a high-speed rotating centrifuge. Facial muscles are severely deformed and breathing is extremely difficult. More than 100 trainings in 8 categories focusing on the basic theory of space station, extravehicular operation and fault handling have been successfully completed, and the skeletal metabolism, cardiopulmonary and cardiovascular functions of space physiological functions have always been maintained at an excellent level.

  In June, 2021, 57-year-old Nie Haisheng went into space for three times. Facing the situation that the space station’s mission was longer in orbit, more difficult to control and more challenges and tests, he cooperated closely with other comrades in the crew, carefully operated, successfully completed the autonomous rapid rendezvous and docking mission between the Shenzhou 12 manned spacecraft and Tianhe core module, and strictly organized two outbound activities with a total of 13 hours. In orbit, a series of key technologies of the space station, such as astronaut’s long-term stay, regeneration and life support, space material supply and on-orbit maintenance, were verified, which enabled Chinese to enter its own space station for the first time and won a major victory in the first manned mission in the construction stage of the space station.

  Nie Haisheng made a feat of flying three times in twenty-four years, becoming the first China astronaut in orbit for 100 days, witnessing the glorious course of China’s manned space career, and fulfilling his solemn promise of "flying only with one heart and flying only with one life" with practical actions! Facing the arduous and arduous tasks in the operation stage of the space station, he firmly stated that "my initial intention is to go to space, and my mission is to successfully complete the task. As long as the motherland and the people need it, I will make all preparations without hesitation, accept the selection at any time, and go to space for the motherland."

  People’s Daily (August 1, 2022, 05 edition)

BYD’s "Eye of God" is finally going to meet, and this time it can be opened everywhere in the country.

I told you that BYD has a lot of good things, which means that BYD’s "Eye of the Gods" will meet with you this month. I went to have a detailed look at this technology. After reading it, I found that it is true, which means that the advanced intelligent driving strength is leading.

1. Navigating a city without a map, a variety of scenes can be opened if there is a road.

This technology is based on the largest vehicle cloud database in China, so it has an industry-leading end-to-end large model and super iterative ability, and truly realizes "all the country can open it, and it is easy to open it if there is a road".

It thundered on the ground! "Snacks are Busy" and "Zhao Yiming" announced the merger of the head players in this mass snack industry. The news fever has not dissipated, and the lawsuit is coming!

On December 6th, according to media reports, "Liangpin Shop sued Zhao Yiming: Deliberately concealing major events of the company and damaging minority shareholders’ right to know". Judging from the specific information, Ningbo Guangyuan Juyi Investment Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Guangyuan Juyi"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Liangpin Shop, was invested by Yichun Zhao Yiming Food Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Zhao Yiming") during the cooperation period between the two parties.Deliberately concealing major events of the company, damaging minority shareholders’ right to know,On November 27, he formally filed a lawsuit with the people’s court. At present, the court has accepted the case.

Zhao Yiming Snacks was established in 2019, and in February, 2023, it was favored by good shops, which invested 45 million yuan through its subsidiary "Guangyuan Juyi". Enterprise investigation shows that at that time, it was financed by 150 million yuan led by Black Ant Capital and invested by good shops, with a valuation of about 1.5 billion yuan. After the completion of financing, it began to accelerate its expansion.

Only half a year later, on October 17th this year, Liangpin Store announced that Ningbo Guangyuan Juyi Investment Co., Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary, planned to transfer its 3% equity of Yichun Zhao Yiming Food Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Zhao Yiming) for a total price of about 105 million yuan. The good shop chose clearance.

The huge market volume of discount snacks and every change in the industry may lead to the actual interests of thousands of investors and franchisees behind them. As early as before the merger of Busy Snacks and Zhao Yiming, there were investors arguing about Busy Snacks and the investment value of Zhao Yiming.

Undoubtedly, this complaint once again put Snacks Busy and Zhao Yiming on the front page of the industry public opinion and even the investment circle.

01
Sell oneself after 22 days.
Before and after Zhao Yiming and Liangpin Shop’s equity transfer.

In the media reports, Liangpin Store said that its investment was based on the original intention of achieving better development of its partners, but after the news of the merger was announced, it was deeply felt that it was maliciously deceived and its rights and interests were damaged.

Review the timeline.

On October 16th, Guangyuan Juyi transferred its 3% equity of Zhao Yiming Company to Shanghai Yihai Enterprise Management Consulting Partnership (hereinafter referred to as "Yihai Partnership") and Xiamen Heiyi No.3 Overseas Connection Venture Capital Partnership (hereinafter referred to as "Heiyi Partnership"). "Guangyuan Juyi" received all equity transfer funds on October 19, 2023.

In "Guangyuan Juyi"Only 22 days after the transfer of equity, that is, on November 10th, Zhao Yiming and Snacks were very busy to release a "merger" statement.According to the national enterprise information credit publicity system, both parties have completed the industrial and commercial change registration on the day of announcement.

From the perspective of the merged shareholding structure, Snacks Busy holds 87.76% of the shares in Zhao Yiming, while Zhao Ding, the founder of Zhao Yiming, holds 32% of the shares of Snacks Busy through Yichun Bird Nest Advertising Information Culture Communication Co., Ltd. and Yichun Bird Management Partnership (Limited Partnership), becoming the second largest shareholder of Snacks Busy.

It is worth noting that on September 28th this year, Wang Pingan, Zhao Ding and other "Zhao Yiming" executives completed the registration in Yuanzhou District, Yichun, one of the shareholding platforms for holding "snacks are very busy", and the executive partner of this enterprise appointed Zhao Ding as the representative.

"The Company Law clearly stipulates that Liangpin Store, as a shareholder of Zhao Yiming, has the right to know the important resolutions of Zhao Yiming, and enjoys the legal rights of knowing, making decisions, inspecting and preempting in such a major asset reorganization. If Zhao Yiming informs Liangpin Store of its busy merger plan with snacks, Liangpin Store will probably exercise its preemptive right.

As a listed company, the financial loss of Liangpin Store, especially the loss of industrial integration, is really great. "A person close to the good shop revealed.

According to "Guangyuan Juyi", it is impossible for two head enterprises in the discount snack industry, involving nearly 7,000 stores, with consolidated sales exceeding 7 billion in 2022 and current valuation of about 9 billion, to complete all the processes required for the merger in just 22 days, such as due diligence, negotiation, contract drafting, investor approval, etc., and judging from the clues such as the establishment time of the shareholding platform, the start and decision of the merger between the two parties took place in "Guangyuan Juyi" and "Zhao Yiming"."

Obviously, Zhao Ding deliberately concealed his real purpose from the good shop. Looking back now, Black Ant bought the shares of Zhao Yiming held by a good shop, and I don’t know if it is ready for the merger of snacks and Zhao Yiming. "The above person said.

02
Snacks are busy
The prospect of listing is shrouded in gloom

The format of discount snacks began to expand rapidly in 2020. According to Huachuang Securities, the total number of discount snacks stores has exceeded 10,000 in 2020, and a pattern of regional brands standing side by side has been formed, such as Hunan snacks are busy, Sichuan and Chongqing snacks are famous, and Jiangxi Zhao Yi is famous.

Among them,Snacks have been busy for only five years, and the number of stores has exceeded 2,000, leading the industry, and a number of investors have gathered behind them, including Sequoia China, Gaorong Capital, Qicheng Capital and Mingyue Capital.

In July this year, it was reported that snacks were busy and intended to be listed on the mainland A-share market in China or Hongkong, and the fund-raising could reach 100 million to 200 million dollars. If you choose to go public in Hong Kong, you will have an IPO as early as 2024.

Although the follow-up, snacks are very busy in response to the rumors of listing: there is no clear listing plan and location. However, judging from its multiple rounds of financing and the acquisition of Zhao Yiming, the ultimate goal is to expand the scale of listing.

"Snacks Busy" and "Zhao Yiming Snacks" announced the completion of the strategic merger on November 10th, with Yan Zhou, the founder of Snacks Busy, as the chairman of the new group. At this point, the two head players came together at the discount snack track, which attracted a lot of capital and media attention.

According to the public information of Tianyancha, Zhao Ding holds 32% of the shares in the merged entity of Busy Snacks/Zhao Yiming, which is the second largest shareholder in the company after Yan Zhou, and concurrently serves as the director of the company and the CEO of Zhao Yiming.

Coincidentally, on November 10th, China Securities Regulatory Commission just released the latest opinion draft explanation on the regulation of IPO guidance for A-shares, which clearly stated: "In order to promote the establishment of honesty, self-discipline and legal awareness of the actual controllers and directors of the company, and improve the quality of listed companies from the source", the reputation of the actual controllers, directors, supervisors and senior managers of the company to be listed will become the focus of IPO audit.

With the complaint filed by Liangpin Shop, there is no doubt that the honesty, contractual spirit and even legal consciousness of the second person of the new company have been publicly questioned.

It should be noted that Liangpin Store has made it clear that it has filed a lawsuit against Zhao Ding on the grounds of "deliberately concealing important matters of the company and damaging the right of minority shareholders to know".

"If the good shop wins the case, Zhao Ding and even the snacks after the merger are very busy and may face huge compensation, and the merger that has been negotiated may also be forced to cancel."

From the perspective of the listing prospect, the clear and stable equity, whether there are disputes and potential risks are the key points of the listing review of the CSRC. From the recent cases that Honey Snow Ice City and Laoxiang Chicken are difficult to list, it can be clearly seen that the red and yellow light policy of the CSRC has strict restrictions on the industry.

"Therefore, regardless of the outcome of the lawsuit, snacks are very busy. Under the multiple influences of the restrictions imposed by the CSRC and the reputation crisis of the company’s No.2 key person, the road to listing has been bumpy."The above-mentioned relevant person told reporters.

If snacks are too busy to be listed in Hong Kong stocks, they still need to be filed with the China Securities Regulatory Commission before filing, and the CSRC will still review domestic companies planning to list in Hong Kong. The Hong Kong Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC) also has clear requirements on the clarity, stability and non-equity disputes of listed companies. At that time, both the litigation disputes with good products and the reputation of key people in the company will become the focus of the CSRC’s key review.

03
LP worry: hopeless exit

According to the reporter’s understanding, as early as before the merger of Busy Snacks and Zhao Yiming, there were investors arguing about Busy Snacks and the investment value of Zhao Yiming.

LP, an organization with knowledge of the situation, revealed to reporters:"As early as May this year, Zhao Yiming began to communicate with potential investors for a new round of financing. The company expanded aggressively this year, and the capital chain behind it has been in a tight state. Several head funds contributed by us have basically pass after all the adjustments. As soon as this complaint came out, even the expectation of withdrawal was gone, which is a common concern of investors. "

The source said, "Snacks are very busy and Zhao Yiming is planning to list on the Hong Kong stock market. However, investors know clearly that such a target land will basically have no liquidity after the listing of Hong Kong stocks. "

In the past two years, Hong Kong stocks have been an important choice for consumer goods companies to go public. Brands such as Pot Circle, October Paddy Field and Youbao Online have all been successfully listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, and companies such as Chabaidao have already submitted their watches to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. Some companies that have previously hit A-share IPOs, such as Yanzhiwu, Lancang Ancient Tea, Laopu Gold and Mengjinyuan, have also moved to Hong Kong stocks. However, the liquidity problem of Hong Kong stock market has always troubled investors.

A good reference is the pot circle that has just been listed in Hong Kong recently, with a daily turnover of less than HK$ 1 million; Two years ago, hellens and Naixue, which enjoyed unlimited scenery, now have a daily turnover of only a few million Hong Kong dollars, and their market value has dropped by more than 70% compared with their respective highs; Wei Long used to be valued at 70 billion, but now the market value of Hong Kong stocks is 17.7 billion, and the daily turnover is only several hundred thousand. In other words, shareholders, including investors and employees, can’t sell stocks at all.

"Snacks are busy and the share ratio of Zhao Yiming investors’ shareholders is already very high. After the merger, the share ratio of investors is close to 15%, and the accumulated investment cost is nearly 600-700 million. According to the liquidity of several million Hong Kong dollars a day, even if it is sold every day, investors will have to reduce their holdings for several years before they can return to their capital. If you add employees and founders to reduce their holdings, you don’t know when to sell them. Once investors and founders start to reduce their holdings, the market value of the company will inevitably fall sharply. "

"So, even if snacks are busy and successfully listed in Hong Kong stocks, such projects are superficial. Whether an investment institution can sell it back is a problem, not to mention LP making money. "The LP investor admitted to the reporter: "As an LP, in the current environment, we definitely look at liquidity and DPI. Projects that are both illiquid and difficult to quit are very dangerous and can’t be touched at all. If the funds we invest in only focus on book returns and reputation, it will be a trust injury to the whole industry. "

Under the storm
Can franchisee subsidies and employee commitments still be fulfilled?

When Snacks Busy merged with Zhao Yi Mingguanxuan, it was declared that "the two sides will learn from each other’s strong points and integrate deeply … to jointly empower franchisees and contribute to the healthy development of the industry …" Now, it seems somewhat ironic.

"In fact, before the busy merger with snacks, Zhao Yiming’s financial stability has always been an element of concern and concern for franchisees. Regardless of the rapid expansion of cost, how long can Zhao Yiming’s tactics of subsidizing burning money last? Everyone has a question mark. Although it is very busy to merge with snacks, it is now facing a lawsuit from a good shop. If it cannot be listed in the future and investors ask the company to buy back shares in cash, there may really be a capital chain crisis, which will lead to a sudden interruption of the subsidy for burning money. "

According to Zhao Yiming’s internal staff, "Snacks are very busy and both Zhao Yiming have made employee incentives through the employee stock ownership platform, allocating equity to employees and emphasizing the cash value brought by equity after listing." Nowadays, with the background of a series of events exposed by the lawsuit of defending the rights of good shops, after the hope of listing is slim, the equity incentives that employees strive for may be dashed.

The core of enterprise management is "people", and enterprise management often takes equity incentive as the weight to retain talents. When employees regard enterprise development as their goal, who should pay for those promises that are overhead? If the capital chain is broken, how can the subsidy policy promised to franchisees be guaranteed? And how to realize the small and medium-sized brands acquired with equity value?

In the past two years, snacks started in Changsha, Hunan Province were very busy, and snacks from Zhao Yiming, which came out of Yichun, Jiangxi Province, attacked the city all the way, opening more than 4,000 stores and more than 2,500 stores respectively. With the arrival of the merger, the number of the two stores added up to nearly 7,000. This involves most employees, suppliers and franchisees. If Zhao Yiming really cheats for his own interests, how can he be honest with franchisees?

Actually, Snacks Busy and Zhao Yiming, as two large-scale enterprises in the hot industry, have made outstanding contributions in the development of the industry. Perhaps their initial intention is just a commercial contest, but they may lack some understanding of laws and regulations. As a listed company, Liangpin Store is indeed its due obligation to safeguard the rights and interests of its own shareholders and shareholders.

In today’s market environment, we all hope that more enterprises and investors will have a positive voice, sit tight and create a more honest and fair market environment, so that the industry can continue to develop in a healthier direction. Regarding this lawsuit, we will also continue to pay attention to the follow-up development.

Buy Geely Binyue’s Top Ten Advice! These four shortcomings make people want to vomit.

I am very satisfied with the fuel consumption, and it is not used frequently at present, but the fuel consumption is within the acceptable range. High-speed comprehensive fuel consumption: At present, I have run back and forth several times at high speed, and started the sports mode, which is super powerful. I drive more than seven cars in the urban area. I usually go to work, go to the supermarket or something, and occasionally go out to play on holidays. I still yearn for freedom. For this car, it is not too high or too low in our county.

This car is still relatively small. If a big person sits in the back row, the space will be a little insufficient. However, there are very few people sitting in the back row, and occasionally sitting does not affect the space and comfort of sitting in the front row. The seat of this car is designed to fit the skin very well, and it is quite comfortable to sit on, and the hardness is just right. I like its dynamic response. I think it is necessary to drive fast in the city, and don’t think that strong power is not needed in traffic jams. Although it is a 1.4T engine, the power feedback is still very strong, so it is easy to cut in and overtake in traffic jams. If the power is insufficient, I will only be cut in line.

Nowadays, the exterior design is becoming more and more fashionable, and the front face is very impactful. It still belongs to the kind that is very resistant to driving. The black middle net and the logo have a special feeling, and the tail is not too framed. The overall appearance is very round. Personally, I think it is very similar to the interior of the car. Of course, Geely’s gear handle and central control design are basically the same, which makes it difficult for you to see that this is a car that is less than 100,000 yuan. That kind of luxury and enjoyment is really true.

Although I like the appearance and interior very much, all I took out was real money. I thought about buying a car for a long time and finally chose this one after paying attention to many models. The price is really not high. And the configuration is not bad. At the same time, the cost of car maintenance in the later period is not high. On the whole, I think the price/performance ratio is also the biggest highlight of this car. Automatic headlights, automatic locking, electric adjustment of rearview mirror, full-screen HD display, front and rear, keyless entry, large skylight, rear cup holder, voice system, five-year free network and 360-degree image of reversing radar really guarantee safety, and are also very worry-free, making driving feel easier.

The handling of the car is very good, and its throttle is very light, so it has very good sensitivity when driving at high speed, including when cornering. And the chassis is also very stable when driving at high speed, and there is electricity when braking, and the braking distance is also very short. The safety factor of the car is quite high, the comfort of the whole car is good, and the seat is not very soft, so the support is relatively good. This seat will not feel tired when running at high speed for a long time, and this car has been driving for thousands of kilometers now, and it feels that there is no smell in the new car. Normal new cars should have the taste of leather, but this car feels very small. Even if the child sits in the car, it is more reassuring.

This car has these four shortcomings:

First, the storage capacity of the fuel tank is slightly small, only 45L, which is acceptable for friends who usually use a small amount of cars, but for friends who use cars frequently for a long time, they are somewhat stretched, and they have to refuel once a week or so. In addition, if they run a long distance, there are some disadvantages to a small fuel tank with less battery life.

The second is that there is no air outlet in the back row, which is somewhat lacking in design. It is convenient for us to buy a car, and it is also convenient for our families to take a trip, including sometimes bringing some friends, so the family or friends sitting in the back row are not so comfortable.

The third is that there are six speakers in the car, but actually four speakers can be used. Only four speakers in the front row can play audio media, and the two speakers in the back are not available. Driving is boring, playing music, only the front side has a speaker, so friends who pursue a sense of music may feel that there is still a trace of regret.

Fourth, if the back seat takes more than one and a half hours, the pain in the whole back will become more and more obvious. If there is a real need for long-distance riding, you must prepare an headrest later, be better to yourself and pay attention to it.

"Eating chicken" "Buddhism"… The speeches of these university presidents during the graduation season are very popular

  China News Service client side Beijing, June 27 (Leng Haoyang) Recently, colleges and universities have ushered in the graduation season. Before college students leave the school, the "last lesson" given to them by the principal has attracted much attention.

  At the graduation ceremonies of various colleges and universities this year, the graduation speeches of the principals were either warm or philosophical, and there were many fashionable ones, full of expectations and blessings for the graduates. Come and see, what did they say?

  grounding

  These Internet buzzwords were quoted by the principal

  Taking stock of the hot words in recent times, there are no shortage of words such as "eat chicken", "Buddhism", "wolf warrior". At this year’s graduation ceremony, these hot words were also mentioned by college presidents one after another.

  "The long road of life is not always so’good luck, eat chicken tonight ‘, and may face’falling into a box’ at any time." At the graduation ceremony of the 2018 undergraduate class of Huazhong University of Science and Technology, President Ding Lieyun mentioned this in his graduation speech.

  At the 2018 graduation ceremony of Zhejiang Gongshang University, President Chen Shoucan mentioned another hot word – Buddhism.

  "Is there a little misunderstanding of the word’Buddha ‘that everyone is familiar with? If’Buddha’ means not thinking about progress, being muddled, and being at ease with the situation, this may have long deviated from the original intention of Buddha-nature to first enlighten and then ferry people. The first step in any religious or philosophical tradition is of course to teach us how to Keep Calm, remove distractions, and maintain tranquility, but more importantly, teach us to Carry on, face life head-on, and stay right and seek new!" Chen Shoucan said.

  In his graduation speech at Minzu University of China, President Huang Taiyan encouraged graduates to carry out Red Sea operations one after another with the spirit of "wolf warrior" and the rare "speed and passion" to achieve "Honor of Kings" one by one, which is not only worthy of his "youth", but also "powerful to our Minda".

  "Only the self-confidence engraved in our bones can challenge ourselves, surpass ourselves, overcome ourselves, and become the’number one player ‘of this era," Huang Taiyan said.

  The recent World Cup also entered the university’s graduation ceremony. Wang Yingjun, president of South China University of Technology, said in his speech: "Behind the success is countless setbacks, failures and pains…"

  Before he finished speaking, a picture of Messi appeared on the screen. The 4,000 people at the scene were happy. Wang Yingjun also added: "Everyone is very emotional…"

  Talk about life

  – "Don’t give a bad review to the delivery guy who is a few minutes late"

  At the graduation ceremony, it is also common for principals to tell graduates about life. Many principals use a philosophical and speculative approach to bring more thoughts to their lives when graduates leave their alma mater.

  "Please be sure to boldly help the old man who fell, and drive away the cold and numb with a warm heart. Don’t easily give bad comments to the takeaway guy who is a few minutes late. Life is really not easy, and being tolerant of others is also illuminating yourself." Tan Zhen, the principal of Huanghuai College, sent this message to his students, to stick to the principle and bottom line, not to be fooled by glitz and not to be coerced by utilitarianism.

  This simple graduation speech also quickly became popular on the Internet. Thousands of netizens were moved and praised it, calling it a positive energy in the graduation season.

  At Sichuan University, Li Yanrong, the president of Sichuan University, sent the philosophical speculation of "treating others well in good times and yourself well in bad times" to the graduates. Li Yanrong sent a message saying that he hoped that when everyone is smooth and strong, they will be more magnanimous and have a heart, show kindness, kindness and humility, and when they are in a trough, they should know how to be kind to themselves, less competition with themselves, and don’t treat themselves badly with the mistakes of others.

  "The meaning of life is not so complicated. Simply put, it is because of your existence that people around you feel better about life, not because your appearance makes people around you miserable. Being ordinary can make your family better; small achievements can make the team better; holding an important position can make the country and society better." Li Yanrong said.

  At Jiangsu University, the president, Yan Xiaohong, instructed graduates to "be yourself". He said that to be true to yourself, insist on seeking goodness and truth, do not do people who go against your heart, do not do things that go against your heart, and do not do things that are fraudulent, do not forget your original intention, insist on pursuing; be yourself, self-planning, self-management, self-motivation, self-empowerment, and show your personality and prove yourself with unique core competitiveness.

  Very warm

  The university president treats the graduates to dumplings

  Graduation season, warm words parting is always the "main theme", college presidents also showed their warm side, sending blessings to the graduates.

  "Wherever the students are, Nanjing University is there." At the graduation ceremony of Nanjing University’s 2018 graduate students, President Lu Jian said goodbye to the graduates affectionately.

  At Wuhan University, President Dou Xiankang borrowed the prose poems written by previous graduates to say goodbye to the graduates.

  "Students, your senior sister Yu Shan wrote in a prose poem to her alma mater: ‘Wuhan University students are also trees, and they carry the soul of the Wuhan University tree in all directions. No matter where the roots of Wu University students are planted, there will always be one that extends to Luojia Mountain.’"

  At Chengdu Normal University, according to media reports, at the graduation ceremony of the school’s School of Literature and Journalism, Professor Liu Hongren said as a teacher representative: "The alma mater is most sorry for you, and owes you a boyfriend." He said that the ratio of male to female students in the school is 1:9, so that students have no love during the youthful season of love. He also urged students to find someone worthy of love quickly and have a vigorous relationship.

  At Jiamusi University, according to media reports, the school specially prepared dumplings for the graduates. Meng Shangjiu, president of Jiamusi University, said at the graduation ceremony: "Students, there is a famous saying in the cafeteria of our B hospital: takeout is available every day, and the cafeteria is only for four years. Eat and cherish it. Please be sure to taste the dumplings provided by the school for everyone to see off. Dumplings are all similar, but today’s meal is always different." (End)

The Milky Way is "getting fat" to house stars

  It is well known that if a person consumes more energy than they expend, the body may gain weight and vice versa. It only takes a scale to measure a person’s weight gain and loss.

  How the galaxies in the vast universe, especially the Milky Way where humans live, are changing is a major problem plaguing astronomers around the world. Recently, an international research team led by European Space Agency astronomer Dr. Andrew Fox wrote in the Astrophysical Journal that the gas inhaled by the Milky Way is more massive than the gas exhaled, and it is in the process of "getting fat".

  So, what is the mystery behind the "breathing" and mass changes of the Milky Way? What effects will this "fattening" have on the Milky Way?

  Gas material exchange, activate "a pool of spring water"

  Gas is constantly being "blown" out of the Milky Way, but these gases will be "sucked" back into the Milky Way and fall on the Milky Way. What does this "breathing" mean?

  "This is the cycle of gas and dust matter brought about by the birth and death of stars," Zuo Wenwen, an associate researcher at the Shanghai Observatory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, told Science and Technology Daily in an interview. Stars collapse from clouds of gas molecules in the silver disk to form. Stellar winds during stellar evolution, as well as supernova explosions that occur when massive stars evolve to the end of their lives, throw most of the material outward and send shock waves to the surrounding interstellar material, forming a shell-like structure of expanding gas and dust, known as a supernova remnant.

  "Stars can be seen as originating from dust and returning to dust when they die," Zuo Wenwen said.

  The entire life cycle of a star from birth to death accomplishes a large-scale transfer – transferring the gas and dust material in the Milky Way disk to the more peripheral halo of the Milky Way. Moreover, a star accumulates a large amount of metal elements during its lifetime. In astronomy, elements larger than the number of helium atoms are usually called metal elements. These metal elements are like a star working hard – working hard to burn itself and strive for the wealth it has accumulated in its lifetime. It occasionally "consumes" in its daily life, that is, throws some matter through the stellar wind phenomenon; more at the moment when the massive star is dying, the "possessions" it has accumulated in its lifetime are scattered, enriching the elemental composition of the entire galaxy, and igniting the spark of the origin of the next generation of stellar life.

  As time goes by, the gas and dust in the halo will gradually clump together, causing gravity to cause these clumps of gas to fall back into the disk and begin the next round of star formation.

  The death of a star creates the birth of a new star, and the end point is the starting point. The cycle is repeated, "born to death". The Milky Way also completes the exchange of gas and matter with the surrounding environment in the "sacrifice" of countless stars, like a lake with a pool of living water in it.

  High-speed molecular cloud, tagged "floating population"

  So, is the great lake in the Milky Way "rising" or "leaking"? Many researchers want to find out.

  The answer given by this study is the former, that is, the gas inflow is greater than the outflow.

  The study used ultraviolet data from the Hubble Space Telescope to study 187 high-speed molecular clouds, and determined their velocities in the Milky Way’s standard stationary reference system based on the movement of absorption lines relative to the wavelength of the stationary reference system. They were classified into inflow-speed molecular clouds and outflow-speed molecular clouds. Through calculations, the researchers estimated the inflow rate to be 0.53 ± 0.17 times the mass of the sun per year and the outflow rate to be 0.16 ± 0.06 times the mass of the sun per year, indicating that the Milky Way is currently in a period of inflow dominance.

  Zuo Wenwen pointed out that the attractive forces of the Milky Way may drag some of the intergalactic medium in, and may also drag some of the gas from its satellite galaxy.

  The Science and Technology Daily reporter noticed that the main object of this research is the high-speed molecular cloud. There are countless gas and dust in the Milky Way, why did the researchers only aim at the high-speed molecular cloud?

  Zuo Wenwen mentioned that there is an interstellar medium between stars, and an intergalactic medium between galaxies. A galaxy is not a system with closed boundaries.

  As a result, no gas would voluntarily label itself an "outsider" or a "native." So how do researchers define which gases are outflow or inflow "floating people" and which are "permanent" residents of the galaxy? The starting point for solving these problems is the high-speed molecular cloud.

  Usually, the "resident" gas in the Milky Way disk rotates at the same speed as the Milky Way disk. The gas in the high-speed molecular cloud is moving faster than the rotation speed of the Milky Way disk, which means they are likely a type of inflow or outflow gas. Then observe the speed direction of the molecular cloud and analyze whether it is moving towards or away from the Milky Way disk to determine whether the molecular cloud is inhaled or exhaled by the Milky Way.

  Of course, some scholars have also pointed out that the study ignores the high-speed gas structures that already exist in the silver disk, such as Fermi bubbles, which will undoubtedly bring errors to the experiment.

  Zuo Wenwen also said that the study is based only on gas clouds with lower temperatures (about 10,000 Kelvin), and the annual inflow and outflow of gas are all lower limits. More data is needed to obtain more accurate results.

  The significance of respiration regulates the life cycle of stars

  "The formation of stars is regulated by the relationship between gas inflows and outflows. Therefore, studying the gas cycle process is very important for studying star formation and galaxy evolution." Zuo Wenwen said that the Milky Way is the galaxy we live in, and has relatively rich observational data to study the gas cycle problem.

  Perhaps many people will wonder what might have happened if the galaxy had been in a state where more gas was flowing in than out?

  "More gas is accumulating in the galaxy than is flowing out. The Milky Way provides the raw materials for star production – gas, dust, which contributes to subsequent star formation." On the contrary, if more gas is flowing out of the galaxy than is flowing in, Zuo Wenwen said, one day, the raw materials for star formation will be lost, and no new stars will form in the galaxy. In fact, while inflows and outflows determine whether a galaxy will have continued star formation, it is also important to pay attention to how large the gap is and how long it lasts.

  In 2018, astronomers at Tohoku University in Japan wrote in the journal Nature that the Milky Way experienced a period of dormancy that lasted for billions of years between two "baby boomers" of star formation, and actually "came back to life" after "death," a phenomenon that is inseparable from the galaxy’s gas cycle.

  According to this study, the Milky Way began to form the first generation of stars by inhaling a large amount of cold gas early on. About 7 billion years ago, shock waves from the star collapse explosion heated the gas within the galaxy to high temperatures. This caused the cold gas to stop flowing into the galaxy, and with it, star formation stopped. Over time, the Milky Way’s hot gas gradually radiated and cooled, and began to inhale new cold gas 5 billion years ago. This led to the formation of the second generation of stars, including the Sun. More importantly, other studies suggest that the Milky Way’s neighbor, the Andromeda galaxy, may have gone through a similar process. This suggests that massive spiral galaxies tend to experience a "dormant period" of star formation, while smaller galaxies do not.

  In fact, the concept that galaxies "breathe" also applies to smaller systems in the universe, such as stars and even planets. Compared to the "weight gain" of the Milky Way, the sun and the earth are losing weight. According to NASA and MIT, the sun loses 1.3245 quadrillion tons of mass each year, and the earth loses 1 to 50,000 tons each year.

  As the Universe Today website puts it: "Whether we are talking about planets, stars or galaxies, they all experience birth, life and death. During this time, they may gain or lose a few pounds. The cycle of life unfolds on a cosmic scale." (Intern reporter, Yu Ziyue)
