A, authoritative voice
1.The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued a draft for comments to accelerate the construction of carbon neutrality standards in peak carbon dioxide emissions in the industrial field
On May 22nd, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued "Guidelines for the Construction of Carbon Neutralization Standard System in peak carbon dioxide emissions in Industrial Field (2023 Edition)" (draft for comments), proposing to establish the framework of carbon neutrality standard system in peak carbon dioxide emissions in industrial field by 2025 and formulate more than 200 urgently needed standards in peak carbon dioxide emissions. Focus on formulating standards for basic universality, accounting and verification, low-carbon technology and equipment, and provide technical support for carbon assessment and carbon emission reduction in the industrial field.
Zero carbon interpretation:Industry is the key area of carbon emission, so it is urgent to build a carbon neutral standard system in peak carbon dioxide emissions that adapts to the characteristics of China’s industrial development. A few days ago, the National Standards Committee and other 11 departments jointly issued the "Guidelines for the Construction of Carbon Neutralization Standard System in peak carbon dioxide emissions", proposing to achieve full coverage of carbon accounting verification standards in major industries. This time, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology took the lead in launching the guidelines for the construction of carbon neutral standard system in peak carbon dioxide emissions, which will further accelerate the process of double carbon in China’s industrial field.
2.The Ministry of Ecology and Environment presided over the special research kick-off meeting, and the expansion of the national carbon market was imminent.
Recently, the kick-off meeting of "Special Study on Expanding the Industry Coverage of the National Carbon Market" hosted by the Climate Change Department of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment and undertaken by the Environmental Planning Institute of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment was held in the Environmental Planning Institute. Li Gao, Director of Climate Change Department, Yun Shize, Deputy Director, and Wang Jinnan, President of the Environmental Planning Institute, and more than 50 representatives from more than 20 units attended the meeting. Everyone agrees that the current conditions for expanding the carbon market are basically mature, and special research will play an important role in further improving the construction of China’s carbon market system and promoting the implementation of the "double carbon" goal.
Zero carbon interpretation:Director Li Gao emphasized that the special research should fully absorb the effective practices and experiences of international carbon market construction, domestic local carbon market pilot and power industry carbon market construction and operation, and put forward the phased objectives, tasks and construction roadmap of various industries in line with China’s national conditions, so as to provide key technical support for the national carbon market to expand industry coverage.
3. China’s largest demonstration base for carbon capture, utilization and storage of the whole industrial chain started construction.
Recently, the 3 million tons/year CCUS demonstration project in Ningxia with a total investment of 10.2 billion yuan started construction in Ningdong base. The project includes 3 million tons of carbon dioxide capture project, 3 million tons of carbon dioxide long-distance pipeline, 2.5 million tons of carbon dioxide flooding enhanced oil production project and 500,000 tons of carbon dioxide capture and storage project. (Xinhua News Agency)
Zero carbon interpretation:According to Ma Cheng, the second-level inspector of the Management Committee of Ningdong Energy and Chemical Industry Base, the project realized the green carbon reduction cooperation between modern coal chemical industry and large oil and gas field exploitation for the first time in the world, and found a "golden key" to solve the problem of "high carbon" for modern coal chemical industry, and also found a "secret weapon" for green production increase for crude oil exploitation. After the project is completed, it will become the largest demonstration base of carbon capture, utilization and storage in the whole industrial chain in China, which will provide replicable and popularized market-oriented practical experience for China to carry out CCUS project construction on a large scale and realize terminal carbon reduction.
B, local practice
fourHunan issued trading rules for electric auxiliary service market,Optimize the way of energy storage participating in peak shaving trading
On May 22nd, the Trading Rules of Hunan Electric Power Auxiliary Service Market (2023 Edition) was issued. The trading rules expanded the scope of buyers and sellers of electric power auxiliary services, and included small and medium-sized power generation entities with an installed capacity of 10 MW or more in the province that met the measurement (measurement) conditions into the buyers of electric power auxiliary services. The access conditions for energy storage to participate in auxiliary services are set, and two modes of sequential call and priority call are optimized.
Zero carbon interpretation:Perfecting the power auxiliary service market is an important means to build a power market mechanism that adapts to the transformation of energy structure and give play to the clean and low-carbon transformation of energy in the power market. This time, the Trading Rules of Hunan Electric Power Auxiliary Service Market (2023 Edition) optimized the trading mode of energy storage participating in deep peak shaving, stimulated the competitive vitality of energy storage participating in auxiliary service market, and provided a mechanism guarantee for the large-scale application of new energy and energy storage.
five.The first provincial carbon measurement center in ChinaLanding in Dalian, Liaoning
Recently, the "Liaoning Carbon Measurement Center (Electric Carbon)" built by State Grid Dalian Power Supply Company was inaugurated in Dalian. Since then, the first provincial-level carbon measurement center in China has officially settled in Dalian. The carbon measurement center (electric carbon) will focus on the key areas of electric carbon, focusing on the realization of "double carbon" goals in key industries such as high-end equipment manufacturing, petrochemical and metallurgy, and provide effective measurement support and technical support.
Zero carbon interpretation:Carbon measurement is the basis of carbon market and carbon trading, and it is also an important technical support to realize "peak carbon dioxide emissions and carbon neutrality". The measurement center will provide differentiated, diversified and specialized carbon measurement services for the government, industries and enterprises, and share carbon measurement technical resources, which will drive enterprises and technical institutions in Liaoning Province to effectively deal with carbon tariff technical barriers.

six.Huawei launches a new generation of full-scene intelligent optical storage solution.
Recently, at the 16th (2023) International Conference on Solar Photovoltaic and Smart Energy (Shanghai), Huawei Smart Photovoltaic made a grand appearance with a new generation of full-scene intelligent optical storage solution with the theme of "integrating wisdom and light, creating a better future together", bringing cutting-edge solutions and successful global application practices for three application scenarios: clean energy base, industry and commerce, and household.
Zero carbon interpretation:This time, Huawei released the FusionSolar intelligent optical storage generator solution, which has the advantage of active network construction and has become a highlight of this solution. Through the integration of power electronics technology and digital technology, optical storage, energy flow and information flow, Huawei has worked with ecological partners to create a new clean energy base solution with stable grid connection, extreme security, intelligent operation and maintenance and higher income. It provides important support for promoting photovoltaic to become the main energy source. (Huawei Digital Energy)
seven.The world’s first hydrogen-electric hybrid artificial intelligence transport robot was released.
On May 20th, at the 7th World Intelligence Conference, Tianjin Port Group released the world’s first hydrogen-electric hybrid artificial intelligence transport robot (ART) independently developed and manufactured by itself. The endurance of the robot is further increased by the hydrogen fuel engine, and the running time can reach 13 hours, which is more than 25% higher than that of the electric artificial intelligence transport robot.
Zero carbon interpretation:According to the relevant person in charge of Tianjin Port Group, the hydrogen-electric hybrid artificial intelligence transport robot will be put into use immediately after it goes offline, and it will "seamlessly connect" with the largest intelligent transport robot formation in China, serving the production and operation of the "Smart Zero Carbon" terminal in Tianjin Port.
8.The first one in ChinaZero-carbon technology investment fundComplete the fundraising
Recently, Hong Kong China Gas and IDG Capital officially announced that the first domestic zero-carbon technology investment fund jointly established by the two parties has completed the fund raising target of RMB 5 billion. The fund will land in Changzhou, Jiangsu Province, and form a good synergy mechanism with Changzhou’s industrial development. This fund will focus on investing in solar energy, power batteries, energy storage, smart grid and zero-carbon technology-related innovation fields such as charging and replacing electricity, hydrogen energy, carbon capture, carbon trading and management.
Zero carbon interpretation:Achieving carbon neutrality in peak carbon dioxide emissions requires huge financial support. According to the latest data from McKinsey, the global annual (carbon neutral financing) is $9.7 trillion. In terms of the proportion of China’s emissions, China needs about 20 trillion yuan of investment a year. This time, the Zero Carbon Science and Technology Investment Fund will further stimulate the financing role of financial institutions, and promote the process of carbon neutrality and the realization of the goal of "double carbon" in local peak carbon dioxide emissions.
D, international aspects
9.EUwillIt is forbidden to destroy unsold textiles.
Reuters, UK, reported on 22nd that EU governments agreed that the EU should ban the destruction of unsold textiles to promote environmental protection. According to the preliminary idea, after the ban is promulgated, it will immediately apply to large textile enterprises, while medium-sized production enterprises with less than 250 employees will have a transition period of four years, and small enterprises with less than 50 employees will not be affected by the ban. The ban requires clothing companies to produce more durable clothes, which will have a great impact on some fashion brands whose profit point is "quickly updating styles".
Zero carbon interpretation:According to the report, the impact of European textile consumption on the environment and climate change is second only to food, housing and transportation. There are about 5.8 million tons of textile overproduction in the EU every year, and the per capita waste is about 11 kilograms. These textiles are mainly unsold clothes, and most of them will be buried or burned, which not only causes great waste, but also does great harm to the environment during the destruction process. (Reuters)
10.lawcountryRelease the action plan for emission reduction targets in 2030,Short-haul flight banFormal entry into force
On May 22nd, local time, France released the action plan for greenhouse gas emission reduction targets in 2030, aiming to promote France to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 50% compared with 1990 by 2030. The plan is mainly aimed at transportation, construction, industry and agriculture. The next day, a French ban on domestic short-haul flights aimed at reducing carbon emissions came into effect. The bill stipulates that it is forbidden to set up civil aviation passenger routes between cities that can be reached within two and a half hours by train in France.
Zero carbon interpretation:Agence France-Presse reported that France’s current greenhouse gas emissions have decreased by 25% compared with the 1990 level, but it needs "great efforts" to reach the 50% target. Recently, France has issued a series of policies to promote carbon emission reduction in various fields, and aviation is one of the key areas. However, some non-governmental organizations questioned that the bill was not strong enough, and suggested changing the "two and a half hours" in the relevant provisions to "four hours".
twoThematic carbon discussion:Behind the establishment of the first zero-carbon technology investment fund in China, the difficulties and prospects of China’s carbon finance development
Recently, the first domestic zero-carbon technology investment fund jointly established by Hong Kong China Gas and IDG Capital has achieved the fund raising target of RMB 5 billion. The LPs participating in the fund subscription include local governments, head sovereign funds, large domestic and foreign insurance funds, and government industrial guidance funds and other well-known institutions. At the same time, on May 21st, at the 2023 Wudaokou Global Finance Forum in Tsinghua, Zhu Min, former vice president of the International Monetary Fund and former vice president of the People’s Bank of China, pointed out that with the full implementation of carbon neutrality, the financial industry has entered the era of zero-carbon finance. In this context, carbon finance has become an important topic of concern in the industry.
1. What is it?Carbon finance
At present, there is still no unified concept of carbon finance, which generally refers to all financial activities that serve to limit greenhouse gas emissions, including direct investment and financing, carbon index trading and bank loans. The rise of carbon finance originated from the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and Kyoto Protocol, that is, financial activities such as direct investment and financing, carbon rights trading and bank loans for technologies and projects such as limiting greenhouse gas emissions.
In a broad sense, the concept and connotation of "carbon finance" are constantly evolving with the different characteristics of human beings in various stages of coping with climate change, from the initial environmental protection finance, climate change finance and sustainable finance to the current green finance; With the development and perfection of carbon markets in various countries, carbon finance mainly refers to direct investment and financing for technologies and projects that reduce greenhouse gas emissions and direct and derivative financial activities around carbon emission trading, and the concept and connotation of carbon finance are gradually clear. In 2021, at the 26th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP 26)-Glasgow Conference, everyone reached a consensus that the transformation of carbon neutrality in the era of zero-carbon economy must correspond to zero-carbon finance, and the development of zero-carbon finance has gradually become a new research direction supporting carbon neutrality in the world.
China has made a lot of exploration work in the construction of carbon financial system and related product innovation. In April, 2022, China Securities Regulatory Commission issued the financial industry standard "Carbon Financial Products" (JR/T 0244—2022). Following the principle of standardization and internationalization, and based on the classification of carbon financial products, it gave clear and specific implementation requirements for carbon financial products. Carbon financial products are divided into carbon market financing tools, carbon market trading tools and carbon market support tools. Among them, financing tools include carbon bonds, carbon asset mortgage financing, carbon asset repurchase, carbon asset custody, etc. Its core function is to finance activities through carbon emission rights such as carbon quotas or carbon credits, thus serving commercial activities to reduce greenhouse gas emissions or increase carbon sink capacity. Carbon financial trading tools include carbon forward, carbon futures, carbon options and carbon swaps, which are effective supplements to the carbon spot market and can improve the price discovery efficiency and resource allocation efficiency of the carbon market; Carbon financial support tools include carbon index, carbon insurance, carbon fund, etc., which can effectively guide the allocation of market funds in the dual-carbon field and enhance the awareness of low-carbon development in all walks of life.
2. China’s carbon finance is characterized by large scale and outstanding product innovation.
The goal of carbon neutrality in peak carbon dioxide emissions cannot be achieved without financial support. The development of carbon finance can give full play to the functions of finance in price discovery, risk avoidance and hedging, improve the liquidity and marketization of the carbon market, and guide more capital to invest in carbon neutrality in peak carbon dioxide emissions through the marketization mechanism. China’s carbon finance has been developing with the pilot of carbon market. In 2011, the pilot of carbon market in China started, and Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai, Chongqing, Hubei, Guangdong and Shenzhen became the first pilot areas of carbon emission trading. At the end of 2016, the carbon markets in Sichuan and Fujian began to be piloted, and the number of pilot areas in China increased to nine.
In July 2021, the national carbon market was officially launched for online trading. In the first performance cycle, 2,162 key emission units in the power generation industry were included, with an annual carbon dioxide emission of about 4.5 billion tons, making it the largest carbon market in the world. By April 11th, 2023, the cumulative turnover of carbon emission quota (CEA) in the national carbon market exceeded 200 million tons, and the cumulative turnover exceeded 10 billion yuan. Recently, the kick-off meeting of "Special Study on Expanding the Industry Coverage of the National Carbon Market" hosted by the Climate Change Department of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment was held, and everyone agreed that the conditions for expanding the carbon market were basically mature. The coverage of carbon market will be further expanded, which will further expand the trading scale of China’s carbon market.
At the same time, in order to meet the needs of diversified market transactions, the pilot areas have carried out innovative practices such as carbon bonds, carbon funds, green structure deposits, carbon quota over-the-counter swaps, carbon trading, and carbon quota forward. Take the green bond market as an example. Since its launch in 2016, its annual issuance scale has remained above 200 billion yuan. The data shows that by the end of 2020, the balance of green loans in China was nearly 12 trillion yuan, ranking first in the world, and the non-performing rate of green loans was far lower than that of commercial banks nationwide. The stock of green bonds is 813.2 billion yuan, ranking second in the world.
Jiang Lu, chief analyst of China Securities Futures Metals, said that with the formation of China’s carbon market, in order to promote corporate carbon asset management and active carbon market transactions, carbon financial market innovations have emerged one after another, covering all kinds of major carbon financial instruments except carbon futures. In January 2021, Guangzhou Futures Exchange was established to launch carbon rights futures varieties; In July 2021, Baowu Carbon Neutral Equity Investment Fund with a total scale of 50 billion yuan was established, which is the largest carbon neutral theme fund in China. In November 2021, the People’s Bank of China created and launched a carbon emission reduction support tool to provide funds to financial institutions at an interest rate of 1.75%, which was highly concerned by the market. By the beginning of this year, carbon emission reduction support tools had issued more than 300 billion yuan in refinancing, and commercial banks had been supported to issue more than 510 billion yuan in carbon emission reduction loans, providing low-cost long-term financial support for the development of low-carbon industries. In 2022, carbon emission reduction support tools will drive carbon emission reduction to exceed 100 million tons of carbon dioxide equivalent, which will become an important financial means to promote carbon neutrality in peak carbon dioxide emissions.
3. Accelerate the construction of a rich, three-dimensional and perfect carbon financial system.
Achieving peak carbon dioxide emissions’s goal of carbon neutrality needs huge investment as support. According to the research of the Price Monitoring Center of the National Development and Reform Commission, China needs 3.1 trillion -3.6 trillion yuan of funds every year to realize the peak carbon dioxide emissions in 2030; To achieve carbon neutrality by 2060, it is necessary to invest 139 trillion yuan in new energy generation, advanced energy storage and green zero-carbon buildings. Yi Gang, governor of the People’s Bank of China, pointed out at the China High-level Development Forum in 2021 that "there are many estimates on the capital demand for realizing carbon neutrality in peak carbon dioxide emissions, and the scale level is tens of billions of RMB". However, government funds can only cover a small part, and the gap must be made up by market funds. Therefore, it is necessary to establish a perfect carbon financial system, guide and encourage the financial system to support green investment and financing activities in a market-oriented way.
At present, the development of carbon finance in China is still in its infancy and exploration stage. The national carbon emission trading market has just been established, and the number of market participants and trading activity are still at a low level. It is urgent to speed up the construction of a rich, three-dimensional and perfect carbon finance system. First of all, it is necessary to enrich the participants in the carbon financial market and promote the carbon market to change from a controlled enterprise to a diversified participant. The development of carbon financial market is inseparable from diversified investment institutions and investors. Due to the lack of participation of mainstream financing financial institutions, the current carbon trading market is mainly attended by emission control enterprises, and the number of trading subjects is far from enough, resulting in transactions in each pilot market concentrated in their respective performance months, which leads to great deficiencies in market liquidity, activity and price discovery function, and it is difficult to play the role of carbon trading market in optimizing resource allocation in promoting carbon neutrality in peak carbon dioxide emissions. Fan Wei, general manager of the fixed income financing headquarters of Shenwan Hongyuan Securities, believes that to develop the carbon financial market, investors must be diversified, including not only enterprises and financial institutions in related industries, but even some individual speculators and arbitrageurs.
Secondly, encourage the pilot innovation of carbon financial products and form more abundant carbon financial tools. At present, China’s double-carbon financing is too concentrated in the field of green credit, especially bank loans. Compared with traditional projects, green projects have low returns, long term and high risks. These properties determine that we cannot mainly rely on green credit for financing. We should innovate various forms of carbon financial financing tools and support tools, speed up the application and promotion of carbon bonds, carbon funds, carbon emission rights mortgage financing and other products, and encourage and guide long-term funds such as insurance, pension and social security funds to participate in green projects. At the same time, on the basis of risk control, we will expand the scale of carbon futures products such as carbon forward, carbon futures, carbon options and carbon swaps as soon as possible, expand the hierarchical system of carbon market, and form a carbon financial product system that pays equal attention to spot, futures and derivatives.
Finally, strengthen the construction of standards and norms for carbon financial products and reduce the risks of carbon financial products. At present, China’s carbon market mainly deals with carbon assets such as carbon quotas and CCER. It is necessary to further improve the carbon quota allocation system and optimize the development process of CCER, ensure that carbon quotas are fair and reasonable and CCER data are reliable, and reduce the risks of carbon assets trading such as carbon quotas and CCER. In addition, the scale of China’s green bonds is huge, but there are irregularities in the areas where bond funds are invested and the term of bonds. It is necessary to standardize green bonds and carbon bonds and strengthen evaluation and certification to improve the credibility of the green bond market.

Three key words count the burning moment of China legion in Tokyo Olympic Games!

       CCTV News:In fact, since the opening of the Tokyo Olympic Games, breaking through history has been the key word of the China Legion.

       On the evening of July 28th, in the women’s three-person basketball competition of Tokyo Olympic Games, China beat the French team and won the bronze medal historically. On July 31st, in the men’s windsurfing RS:X final, China’s Bi Kun won the bronze medal, achieving a zero breakthrough for the China windsurfing team.

       The second key word is: record-breaking! On July 25, Chinese player Chen Lijun staged a stunning reversal to win the championship, breaking the Olympic record of clean and jerk and total score in one fell swoop; On July 28th, Chinese athlete Shi Zhiyong broke the world record of men’s weightlifting in the 73kg class with a total score of 364kg. Chen Yunxia, Zhang Ling, Lv Yang and Cui Xiaotong broke the world record of rowing women’s quadruple sculls with 6 minutes 05.13 seconds. On July 29th, Chinese athletes Yang Junxuan, Tang Muhan, Zhang Yufei and Li Bingjie broke the women’s 4×200 freestyle world record with a time of 7 minutes 40.33 seconds. Zhang Yufei also won the women’s 200m butterfly gold medal and broke the Olympic record.

       The third keyword: sweeping. In this Olympic Games, whether they are fledgling teenagers or battle-hardened veterans, they struggled hard and made it through all the way, and finally joined forces with their teammates in the final, so that two five-star red flags were raised at the same time.

       On July 29th, Chen Meng and Sun Yingsha won the women’s singles table tennis championship and runner-up; On July 30th, Zhu Xueying and Liu Lingling won the women’s trampoline championship and runner-up; Badminton mixed doubles China team won the championship and runner-up; Malone and Fan Zhendong won the men’s singles table tennis championship and runner-up; And yesterday, on August 1st, Shi Tingmao and Wang Han won the women’s 3m springboard diving championship and runner-up for the China team.

Japan and South Korea are "glaring at each other". Will Japan recall its ambassador to South Korea?

  Cctv newsIt is nothing new for Japan to make a fuss about the peninsula issue. However, the relationship between Japan and South Korea has been a bit stiff recently. Japanese media quoted people familiar with the matter as saying that the Japanese government is considering recalling its ambassador to South Korea to protest South Korean President Moon Jae in’s criticism of the Korea-Japan Comfort Women Agreement.

  South Korea’s "Central Daily News" reported on the 30 th that Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe convened a meeting of officials from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs at the official residence on the 28 th to discuss how Japan will respond to the recent trends of the ROK regarding the comfort women agreement. Japan’s Yomiuri Shimbun quoted people familiar with the matter as saying that one of the topics of this meeting was whether Japan should recall its ambassador to South Korea, Changling Anzheng. If Japan finally decides to recall its ambassador to South Korea, it will be the second time that Changling has been recalled to Japan due to a dispute over comfort women between Japan and South Korea in the past year.

  Japan will resolutely reject the South Korean proposal to amend the agreement.

  In addition, the Japanese government has agreed that if the ROK proposes to amend the comfort women agreement, the Japanese side will resolutely refuse it. As for what kind of countermeasures Japan will take, it will depend on the specific trends of the ROK.

  Japan’s Sankei Shimbun quoted a senior Japanese government official as saying that South Korea released the review results of the comfort women agreement, which made Japan very dissatisfied. It will be difficult for Abe to attend the Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea next February.

  The working group of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Korea released a report on the 27th, saying that the park geun-hye-Japan Comfort Women Agreement reached with Japan on December 28th, 2015 had hidden secrets, involving non-public contents such as the portrait of comfort women and girls in front of the Japanese embassy in Korea, the memorial statues and monuments of comfort women in a third country, and the wording of "sex slaves". In addition, the report concludes that the Government of park geun-hye did not fully listen to the opinions of the victims before signing the agreement. Moon Jae in No.28 made a statement on this survey result, arguing that there were "serious flaws" in the negotiation process and content between South Korea and Japan and "the problem could not be solved".

  Japan refused to face up to historical intentions and stick to the agreement

  According to the analysis, the problem reflected behind the dispute over comfort women in Korea and Japan is, in the final analysis, the cognition of history. Japan does not want the international community to always put the historical shackles on itself, so it hopes to solve the problem of comfort women "finally and irreversibly" through an agreement. Since the release of the Moon Jae in government’s review report on the Comfort Women Agreement, the Japanese side has been highly concerned and reacted violently, reflecting its intention to stick to the agreement. However, the historical issue represented by the issue of "comfort women" is a "threshold" that South Korea and Japan have never been able to cross. Public opinion in South Moon Jae in and Japan believes that if the South Korean government requests to amend or tear up the agreement, the relations between the two countries will once again encounter serious challenges.

Chen Ganzhang) In the land of Sanxiang in August, major infrastructure construction was in full swing. Since the founding of New China 70 years ago, Hunan’s transportation, water conservancy, energy, information network and other infrastructure have changed with each passing day, which has become a solid foundation for the great changes in Sanxiang.

A comprehensive transportation system with external communication and internal communication, covering urban and rural areas and perfect functions has basically taken shape. By the end of 2018, the railway operating mileage of the province was 5,021.02 kilometers, 5.3 times that of 1949, and the mileage of high-speed rail increased from 606.3 kilometers in 2009 to 1,730 kilometers. The highway mileage increased from 3,142 kilometers in 1949 to 241,000 kilometers, an increase of 76.6 times, of which the expressway mileage was 6,725 kilometers.

Disaster prevention and mitigation, water resources security and power supply capacity have been fundamentally improved. More than 14,000 reservoirs of various types have been built in the province, with an effective irrigation area of 47.2 million mu. The province’s installed power generation capacity reached 45.9566 million kilowatts, and more than 6,400 administrative villages completed the upgrading of power grids.

"Flying into" the information network of ordinary people’s homes has become a "multiplier" for economic and social development. By the end of 2018, the number of Internet broadband users in the province reached 16.3532 million, 12.6 times that of 2005; There are 63.029 million mobile phone users, 22.59 times that of 2000.

121 counties (cities, districts) in the province have achieved 30 minutes of high-speed; Changsha can take high-speed rail directly to 23 provinces and Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. Changsha has become the city with the largest number of routes and the largest flight density to Southeast Asian countries in central China. More than 14,000 reservoirs of various types have been built in the province, with an effective irrigation area of 47.2 million mu. In the national 5G layout competition, Hunan is at the forefront-

August is the golden construction period, and the construction of key projects in Sanxiang Land is in full swing.

The construction of key railway projects such as Qianzhangchang Railway and Zhangjihuai Railway is in full swing; Seize the construction period of 11 main canal construction tenders of Qiantianhe Reservoir Irrigation District Project; In the intelligent networked automobile test area of Xiangjiang New District, Hunan Province, self-driving test cars come and go …

These major infrastructure construction projects are holding up a new situation in Hunan’s economic and social development.

Since the founding of New China 70 years ago, the infrastructure construction in Hunan, such as transportation, water conservancy, energy and information network, has been improving with each passing day, which has become a vivid portrayal of the great changes in Sanxiang and provided a solid basis for the great changes in Sanxiang.

A comprehensive transportation system with external communication and internal communication, covering urban and rural areas and perfect functions has basically taken shape.

"Going to Africa for the first time is so fresh and exciting!" Jin Dechun, a 67-year-old citizen of Changsha, accompanied by her daughter, took the maiden flight of Changsha to Kenya in June this year and spent a mysterious trip to Africa.

In an interview with reporters at the end of August, she lamented: "When I was young, it was inconvenient to go anywhere; In the past few years, I have been running around the world, and it is more and more convenient to travel. "

Jin Dechun, born in the 1950s, witnessed the fundamental change of Hunan’s transportation infrastructure from extremely backward to three-dimensional network since the founding of New China.

The Service Industry Statistics and Investigation Department of the Provincial Bureau of Statistics showed a data report to the reporter: In the 1950s, Hunan only had a railway mileage of 950 kilometers, and it was a single-track operation; The mileage of the highway is 3142 kilometers, and the road conditions are very poor; The waterway is in disrepair, with many beaches and shallow water, low waterway grade and poor navigation conditions; Civil aviation is blank.

Stepping into the 1970s, Hunan seized the strategic opportunity that the country listed the construction of transportation infrastructure as the key point of national economic development, and went all out to promote the construction of transportation infrastructure. The road network structure was optimized day by day, the transportation system was becoming more and more mature, and the traffic appearance had undergone earth-shaking changes.

In 1972, the Hunan-Guizhou railway, which lasted for 37 years and experienced three large-scale constructions, was connected and opened a main road leading from the southwest to the eastern coastal areas.

In 1989, Changsha Huanghua Airport, the first civil airport in Hunan, set sail, which opened a brand-new opening window.

In 1994, Changyong Expressway was completed and opened to traffic, realizing the "zero" breakthrough of Hunan Expressway and opening the channel for Changsha to quickly connect with the east;

In 1999, the waterway regulation project focusing on the lower reaches of the four rivers of Hunan, Zi, Yuan and Li and Dongting Lake area was completed, and the "two vertical and one horizontal" trunk waterway network in Hunan basically took shape;

In the 21st century, modern transportation infrastructure such as high-speed rail, intercity railway, new terminal building and transportation hub station is changing with each passing day, and the three-dimensional transportation network is improving day by day.

In 2009, the Wuhan-Guangzhou high-speed railway was opened, and Hunan people took the express train of the high-speed railway at their doorstep for the first time.

In 2014, the Shanghai-Kunming high-speed railway and the Beijing-Guangzhou high-speed railway, the two longest railways in China’s east-west and north-south directions, met in Changsha, and Changsha became the golden hub of central transportation. Today, Changsha has direct access to 23 provinces and the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region.

On August 6, workers were building protective frames at the reconstruction project site of Luojiazui Quanhutong overpass in Yuelu District, Changsha City.

In 2018, the Huaishaoheng Railway was opened for operation, and the Xiangxi area in southern Hunan caught a hope train. Dongkou County, Longhui County and Hengyang County have ended the history of no access to railways. This year, with Yima, Yuewang and Ma ‘an expressways completed and opened to traffic one after another, except Shimen County, 121 counties and cities in the province have achieved 30 minutes on the expressway. This year, Yueyang Airport opened for operation, and the number of airports in the province increased to 8.

On July 26th, the expansion project of Changyi Expressway under construction was in Wangcheng section of Changsha City. The total length of the expansion project is 50.28 kilometers. At present, 80% of the subgrade engineering and bridge engineering have been completed.

Hunan Daily Huasheng Online Reporter Li Jian Correspondent Jin Mei Photo Report

The butterfly change of Hunan traffic is a vivid interpretation of the responsibility and dedication of generations of traffic people.

Hunan-Guizhou Railway, Zhiliu Railway and "One Million Militiamen Run Railways" have built remarkable great projects with the "indigenous method" of Yugong moving mountains; Aizhai Panshan Highway and Tianmenshan Panshan Highway, "pioneers" built immortal monuments of highway construction with sweat and blood; Aizhai Bridge, Chishi Bridge, Dongting Lake Bridge and Xuefeng Mountain Tunnel, with the wisdom of being the first, have created traffic miracles that set a new world record …

Up to now, a comprehensive transportation system with external communication and internal communication, covering urban and rural areas and perfect functions has basically taken shape-

The operating mileage of railways in the province is 5021.02 kilometers, which is 5.3 times that of 1949, and the mileage of high-speed rail has increased from 606.3 kilometers in 2009 to 1730 kilometers.

The highway mileage increased from 3,142 kilometers in 1949 to 241,000 kilometers, an increase of 76.6 times, of which the expressway mileage was 6,725 kilometers; The total mileage of rural roads has exceeded 200,000 kilometers, and 100% of townships and qualified villages have asphalt (cement) roads.

July 25th, Changsha Huanghua International Airport. Hunan Daily Huasheng Online Reporter Fu Cong photo

Changsha Huanghua International Airport can open to 145 airports at home and abroad, among which international and regional routes can connect 42 airports in 22 countries and regions. Changsha has become the city with the largest number of routes and the highest flight density to Southeast Asian countries in central China.

2 disaster prevention and mitigation, water resources security and power supply capacity have been fundamentally improved.

In mid-August, in the construction site of the jiepai section of the right main canal in Qiantianhe Reservoir Irrigation District of Jianghua Yao Autonomous County, the construction workers stepped up the construction under the scorching sun.

According to Jin Jinyun, the person in charge of the irrigation area project of Qiantianhe Reservoir, all the 11 main canal construction sections of the irrigation area project have been started, and more than 1,000 workers scramble for the construction period every day.

The Qiantianhe Reservoir Irrigation Area Project under construction is a national key water conservancy project, which started in October 2015. After the completion of the project, the Qiantianhe Reservoir Irrigation Area will become the largest irrigation area in Hunan, benefiting Jianghua, Daoxian and Ningyuan, which will enable 1,114,600 mu of farmland to achieve drought and flood protection and directly benefit 1.02 million people.

The construction and development of Qiantianhe Reservoir is a microcosm of strengthening the construction of water conservancy infrastructure in Hunan.

Hunan has a well-developed water system, but at the beginning of the founding of New China, only some ponds and small reservoirs were built among the three rivers and four rivers, and the ability of disaster prevention and mitigation and water resources guarantee was limited.

With the strengthening of national economic strength, the investment in water conservancy construction and management is increasing. In the past 20 years, Hunan has completed a total investment of 248.9 billion yuan in water conservancy. In 2017 alone, the province invested 36.8 billion yuan, 8.5 times that of 1998.

A number of key control projects, such as Dongjiang, Wuqiangxi, Jiangya, Zaoshi, Baiyun and Taoshui, on the main stream and tributaries of the Four Rivers in Yuanli, Hunan Province, have been built one after another. Nearly 80% of the 47 large-scale reservoir projects that have been built have been completed since the reform and opening up, which has enhanced the regulation and control ability of the four rivers and tributaries.

At present, more than 14,000 reservoirs of various types have been built in the province, with an effective irrigation area of 47.2 million mu, accounting for 76% of the total cultivated land area, which has laid a solid foundation for the development of modern agriculture and rural revitalization.

Since the end of July this year, it has been sunny, hot and high-temperature, and the province’s electricity consumption has reached a peak.

"It’s not a big problem to meet the peak summer!" At the beginning of August, Jiang Jiusong, secretary of the Party branch of Shaoshan Converter Station of Qilian-Shaoshan 800 kV DC UHV transmission project (hereinafter referred to as "Shaoshan UHV"), said in an interview that with the support of Shaoshan UHV, Sanxiang need not worry about electricity consumption this summer.

On June 24th, the "630" key project of Changsha Power Grid and the first 500 kV (ultra-high voltage) substation in Liuyang City were put into operation, which provided a strong guarantee for Liuyang area and even the whole Changsha Power Grid.

Hunan Daily Huasheng Online Reporter Yan Pengbo photo

Qishao UHV, with a total line length of 2,383 kilometers, is the first UHV DC project in the world to transport new energy power. Starting from Gansu province and passing through Shaanxi, Chongqing, Hubei and other provinces and cities, it entered Shaoshan converter station in Hunan, providing strong support for Hunan with tight power supply.

According to the Basic Industry Department of the Provincial Development and Reform Commission, in the 1950s and 1960s, the phenomenon of "stuck neck" in Hunan power grid was widespread, with a low power supply level and an installed capacity of only 2,469,500 kilowatts.

For more than half a century, our province has increased investment in power grid development, significantly improved the power supply capacity and reliability, and fundamentally reversed the power shortage situation that seriously restricted Hunan’s economic and social development.

At present, the installed capacity of power generation equipment in the province reaches 45.9566 million kilowatts, of which new energy accounts for 14%. More than 6,400 administrative villages have completed the upgrading of power grids, and the average household distribution capacity has increased from 1.0 KVA to 1.87 KVA..

3 Mobile communication and Internet broadband "fly into" the homes of ordinary people

In the relatively closed era, people get information, first by superiors or organizations, second by street talk, and third by radio and newspapers. As for the telephone, it is extremely rare. In 1978, there were less than 40,000 fixed-line telephone users in the province, with an average of one telephone for every 1,400 people.

Giving priority to the development of communication has been put on the agenda. In August, 1987, our province introduced ten thousand program-controlled telephone systems from the Federal Republic of Germany for the first time, and telephones began to "fly" into the homes of ordinary people.

On July 17, 1992, the "Mobile Phone" which started mobile communication was known to Hunan people in a jaw-dropping way-on the same day, Changsha Telecommunications Bureau publicly auctioned 30 special and auspicious numbers to the public for the first time. The number "900001" was auctioned to the 18th round, and Shuai Mingxiang, the owner of the real estate enterprise, shouted "300,000 yuan", which surprised everyone!

At the turn of the century, the banner of ".com" fluttered over every city, and mankind began to enter a broader information age, thus gaining a new "multiplier" for economic and social development.

In May, 2004, the provincial party committee and government issued the Implementation Opinions on Promoting Industrialization by Informatization. In the same year, the province’s "Village-to-Village Communication Project" was launched, requiring 100% telephone communication in administrative villages within three years.

The promotion of informatization is almost immediate. In 2006, the first report on informatization development in our province revealed that in the industrial field, the production efficiency of informatization pilot enterprises generally increased by 30% to 60%, the production cycle was shortened by 20% to 40%, and the inventory funds were compressed by 3% to 10%.

In terms of communication network construction, our province continues to promote the upgrading of optical fiber broadband networks and improve the popularization level and access capacity of urban and rural broadband networks. The continuous coverage of 3G and 4G signals has been accelerated in cities, towns and important administrative villages, major highways and urban connecting lines at or above the county level in the province, and a total of 183,000 base stations have been built. The length of optical cable lines in basic telecommunications enterprises reached 2.016 million kilometers.

In 2014, Hunan Mobile, China Unicom and China Telecom successively launched 4G commercial services. New services such as mobile e-commerce, cloud computing, Internet of Things and mobile phone reading have entered daily life in an all-round way.

By the end of 2018, the number of Internet broadband users in the province reached 16.3532 million, 12.6 times that of 2005; There are 63.029 million mobile phone users, 22.59 times that of 2000; The comprehensive population coverage rate of broadcasting is 99%, and that of television is 99.6%, which is 48.7 and 24.5 percentage points higher than that of 1985 respectively.

Today, there is an intelligent networked automobile test area with the widest coverage of 5G in China in Xiangjiang New District, Hunan Province. In the massive 5G layout competition, Hunan has already taken the lead.

Business card

1. Wuhan-Guangzhou high-speed railway

It connects Wuhan and Changsha to Guangzhou, passing through Hubei, Hunan and Guangdong provinces, with a total length of about 1,068 kilometers. It was opened on December 26th, 2009, forming a powerful, efficient and convenient passenger transportation channel in the busiest railway transportation sections in Central China and South China. Only one year after its opening, Wuhan-Guangzhou high-speed railway has created a transportation organization model with large capacity, high density and public transportation, which has spawned the "high-speed rail economy". Wuhan-Guangzhou high-speed railway is also a part of Beijing-Guangzhou high-speed railway.

2. Qiantianhe Reservoir Expansion Project

Qiantianhe Reservoir, located in the upper reaches of Xiaoshui River, a tributary of Xiangjiang River, was completed in September 1970. The expansion project of Qiantianhe Reservoir started on August 5, 2012. On December 30, 2016, the expansion project of Xiaoshui Tianhe Reservoir was impounded. The supporting project of the expansion project of Qiantianhe Reservoir-Qiantianhe Reservoir Irrigation Area Project started in October 2015, and the construction task is mainly agricultural irrigation, which will become the largest irrigation area in our province after completion.

The expansion project of Qiantianhe Reservoir has a total storage capacity of 1.51 billion cubic meters, and the estimated annual power generation is 454 million kWh after completion. By then, the flood control standard of towns on both sides of Xiaoshui River downstream of the reservoir will be raised from less than "once every five years" to "once every 20 years", which will give birth to a number of high-yield and high-quality commodity grain bases.

3. Changsha Huanghua International Airport

Changsha Huanghua International Airport started construction in 1986 and was officially opened on August 29th, 1989. The first civil airport in Hunan set sail, which opened a brand-new opening window. On July 19th, 2011, the T2 terminal of Changsha Airport was opened. On March 30, 2017, the second runway was officially put into operation. At present, the T3 terminal of Changsha Airport is carrying out preliminary work.

4. Changyong Expressway

Changyong Expressway starts from Niujiaochong, Changsha County and ends in Yong ‘an Town, Liuyang City, with a total length of 27 kilometers. In May 1993, Changyong Expressway started construction. On December 28, 1994, Changyong Expressway ran from Changsha to Huanghua, ending the history of no expressway in Hunan and shortening the drive from Changsha to Huanghua Airport. On August 20, 1995, the Huanghua-Yong ‘an section of Changyong Expressway was completed, marking the completion of the entire Changyong Expressway.

5. Changsha Metro Line 2 Phase I Project

Crossing the Xiangjiang River, across the east and west of Changsha City, from Guangda Station to Wangchengpo Station, the whole journey is 21.926 kilometers at 19 stations. Construction started on September 28th, 2009, and it was put into trial operation on April 29th, 2014. It is also the first subway in Hunan. Now in Changsha, an average of 519,500 people choose to take Metro Line 2 every day.

Dictate

Collect a city with your heart

Le Bing: Expert member of Hunan Real Estate Association and vice chairman of Changsha Collection Association.

I was born in Pozi Street and grew up in Chaozong Street, and I have a unique feeling for Laochang Shacheng.

After graduating from college in 1992, I was assigned to Hunan Guoxin Real Estate Development Company, and my main job was to participate in the demolition and development of houses in the old urban area of Changsha. But every time I see old buildings being torn down, or old streets and alleys slowly disappearing, I feel a sense of disappointment. I thought at that time, can we do something to preserve the old city?

In this way, I embarked on the road of "excavating old Changsha" collection.

Let’s take a look at the old photos of Wuyi Square. On May 1, 1952, the west section of Wuyi Road was officially opened to traffic. At the intersection of Wuyi Road and Huangxing Road, a street flower bed was built, which led to Wuyi Square.

Slowly, there were more and more buildings around Wuyi Square, such as Provincial Supply and Marketing Cooperative Building, Xiangxiu Building and Wuyi Road Department Store. Although there were only three or four floors, they were landmark buildings at that time. The Sino-Soviet Friendship Pavilion, which was built in the 1960s, is the most typical Soviet-style building, and now it has become Changsha Stomatological Hospital.

In the 1980s, the street-facing units next to Wuyi Square responded to the government’s call, opened the wall to run their own shops or rented out the pavements, and the Wuyi business circle took initial shape. "Sanwang Street, Sanxing Street, Santai Street, three three get nine nine as fast as lent", "Yang Yuxing’s noodles, Xu Changxing’s ducks, and Deyuan’s steamed buns are really delicious", all of which sing the good taste of the May 1 business district.

At the turn of the century, Pinghetang opened in 1998 and Wangfujing Department Store opened in 2004, and Wuyi Square became the most prosperous central business district. Now, Metro Line 1 and Line 2 meet at Wuyi Square, and the 452-meter-tall Guojin Center, the tallest building in the province, has also opened.

These photos are a vivid portrayal of the rise of a city. I still have more than 8,000 collections of old maps, old newspapers, old magazines, old deeds, old objects, etc., which record the changes of Changsha City in the past 70 years.

It is said that Changsha is a city with mountains and rivers. Then, how many docks were there on the Xiangjiang River? I remember the "Changsha Wharf Handling Mileage Map" in the 1950s most clearly, and the answer is 67. Especially from Chengnan Road to Xiangchun Road, there are more than 50 Xiangjiang Wharf, which is the epitome of business circulation in the old city.

Of course, these docks along the Xiangjiang River have now disappeared in the long river of history. The city has developed too fast. In the past 70 years, the imprint of the past era is disappearing. If no one pays attention to it and saves it with care, it will never be found again. I hope that through my collection, I will leave more memories for Changsha.

Changqi expressway intelligent gongdi

Hu ‘nan Daily Huasheng Online Reporter Deng Jing Xian

"It’s so scary, the steel bars are really going to hit my head. I will wear a safety helmet every day in the future!" "It’s terrible to fall from the sky. I thought I really wanted to fall off the bridge. I must be careful again in the future!"

On August 21st, Qiwan Village, Guiyang Town, Qidong County. On the same day, several construction workers were experiencing VR safety training in the first standard project department of Changchun Expressway, which started construction in an all-round way.

This is a true portrayal of Chang-Qi Expressway’s innovative construction management and the creation of "intelligent construction site" by informationization.

"We integrate the safety hazards such as falling from a height, collapse, object strike, mechanical injury and electric shock, which are most likely to occur in the construction site, into the preset virtual scene in a three-dimensional dynamic way. After wearing VR glasses, the experiencer seems to be there, thus effectively improving the awareness of safe operation in the’ life after robbery’."

Liu Jun, the project manager of the First Bid Project, told the reporter that by organizing frontline construction workers to experience VR irregularly, the safety awareness can be effectively improved.

Changqi Expressway starts from Guiyang Town, Qidong County and ends at Pengtang Township, Changning City. It is connected to Yilouheng Expressway in the west and Beijing-Hong Kong-Macao double track in the east. The total length of the main line is 32.123 kilometers, and the design speed is 100 kilometers per hour.

Different from the highway construction in the past, Chang-Qi Expressway increased the investment in intelligent technology long before it started, which greatly reduced the labor intensity of front-line workers and accelerated the project progress.

Two sections of steel bars are automatically welded by the arm of a robot, and there is no need for manual operation in the whole process-this is a scene that the reporter saw in the second standard steel bar production workshop of Changqi Expressway. This is also the first application of steel bar welding robot in expressway construction in our province.

"A robot can replace six construction workers." Liu Shujie, the chief engineer of the bid section, said that the accuracy of steel bar welding by welding robot is 10 times that of manual welding.

The reporter saw at the scene that after the staff entered the instructions, the welding robot was like a skillful "tailor", automatically welding several sections of steel bars in place efficiently and accurately.

Tang Chengtie, manager of Changyi Expressway Company, said that at present, the two sections are going all out to speed up the construction, which will ensure the successful completion of the annual target tasks. Strive to build Changqi Expressway into a high-quality, safe, efficient, harmonious and beautiful expressway by 2022.

Beauty businessmen suffer from the "cold winter": the price volume can’t be rolled, so they can only spell other things.

Open the take-away App in your mobile phone, buy cosmetics like ordering food, and then wait for the rider to deliver it to your door within a few minutes. This real-time retail format called "beauty take-away" is becoming a new Nugget track for beauty retail entrepreneurs.
Liu Bo, the founder of Meiyou Beauty, a chain brand of beauty take-away shops, told Interface News that in autumn of 2022, he opened the first direct store of Meiyou Beauty in Hangzhou. One year later, the monthly sales volume of this store increased from 1,000 to 5,000. At the same time, Meiyou Beauty has been rapidly spread across the country through the franchise model. In less than two years, the number of stores has reached more than 260.
Liu Bo recalled that when he opened his first beauty takeaway shop, there was only one colleague nearby. By 2023 and 2024, the number of peers was obviously more than one year.
Liu Bo has been engaged in the new retail industry for many years. From about mid-2022, he frequently listened to friends in the industry and said that the new retail of beauty is at the forefront. At that time, major e-commerce platforms have begun to grab local life business, and one of the trends is to open up more categories of instant retail in addition to food and beverage takeout, group purchase and other businesses.
Beauty take-out is not completely new. As early as 2022, Meituan, Hungry and other platforms began to cooperate with some beauty brand stores and beauty collection stores like Watsons and Sephora.
The year 2020 when the epidemic broke out is an opportunity.
In Liu Bo’s view, beauty take-out shops have no direct competition with those beauty brand stores and collection stores that have settled in the take-out platform. Most of the latter are mid-to high-end famous products, while beauty take-out shops, especially Meiyou Beauty, have the advantage of covering a more affordable price range and opening 24 hours a day, which is especially important to meet emergency needs, and emergency is a common scene of instant retail.
However, Liu Bo believes that the customer base of beauty take-out is not limited to this, but also those "young people with convenient and quick pictures". "Now many people in big cities have this kind of consumption habit. Eating, drinking, and buying necessities can be solved in one stop on one platform."
Liu Bo believes that people will gradually accept this new shopping method like online shopping. "What we are optimistic about is the stability of this project, and consumers at this level will always exist."
Although the profit rate of the new beauty retail is much lower than that of the high-margin categories such as flowers, cakes and fruits he has done before-the profit of the latter can be as high as 200% or even 300%, but the homogenization and competition of beauty takeaway are far lower than the latter, which is "relatively stable".

For entrepreneurs, the attraction of opening a beauty takeaway shop lies in the relatively low start-up cost.
Compared with setting up a beauty store or an e-commerce C store (personal store), a beauty take-away store can save a lot of money on rent, manpower and traffic. According to Liu Bo, the cost of joining a single store of Meiyou Beauty Cosmetics is about 100,000 yuan to 150,000 yuan, mostly for couples. Of course, if you open your own store, only sell low-priced sample goods, locate in non-first-tier cities, and SKU only meets the minimum requirements of the platform, the cost can be reduced. The entrepreneur who runs a beauty take-out shop in Jinan, Shandong Province told the interface news that his start-up cost did not exceed 50,000 yuan.
Goods are the bulk of the cost of opening a store. As an unofficial retail channel such as beauty take-away shop, its supply chain is generally divided into domestic beauty products and imported beauty products. The supply chain of domestic beauty cosmetics is relatively simple. For example, some big retailers can purchase goods directly from brands, eliminating the link of middlemen. The supply chain of imported beauty products is longer, and the source is often brand counters, duty-free shops or brands at home and abroad. Because of the large order volume and involving transnational logistics and customs declaration procedures, a large supplier specializing in procurement and warehousing logistics has emerged.
Chen Xiaohu, the head of Zhonghuirongxin, a beauty supply chain service provider, told Interface News that large suppliers mainly rely on bulk purchase, tax exemption and exchange rate spread to reduce the purchase cost. Take Zhonghui Rongxin as an example, its procurement sources include duty-free shops in Asian countries such as South Korea and Thailand, as well as department store counters in Europe, and some of them are first-class sources provided by brands.
Some suppliers have their own superior categories and can get lower prices, but the overall profit margin of this link is basically stable. "The market is very transparent, and downstream customers also know about our purchase price. Our role can only earn so much profit." According to Chen Xiaohu, usually large suppliers can take 3% to 6% of the final sales profits, while the profit points of downstream retailers are about 10% to 15%.

Although it seems to be a blue ocean in the Red Sea, beauty take-out shops are inevitably affected by the coldness of the entire beauty market. Liu Bo found that those famous products with a unit price of several hundred thousand yuan became more and more difficult to sell. "Last year, a store in’ 520′ sold 70 or 80 big-name lipsticks, which was like playing. This year, it may only sell a dozen or twenty. Instead, it is a set of boxes with more than 100 yuan and a 925 silver needle necklace with dozens of dollars."
The beauty market did not usher in a strong recovery after the epidemic as expected.
According to the latest data released by the National Bureau of Statistics, from January to May 2024, the total retail sales of cosmetics in China increased by 5.4% year-on-year, much lower than the 11.3% increase in the same period in 2019. Throughout 2023, the total retail sales of cosmetics in China increased by 5.1% at a low base in 2022, an increase of 2.9% compared with 2021; Before the epidemic, from 2015 to 2019, the average compound annual growth rate of total cosmetics retail sales in China was 9.9%.
However, considering that there is still a gap in the market segment of beauty take-out, Meiyou Beauty still has expansion plans, but it has turned its attention from the first-and second-tier cities with fierce competition to the sinking market with relatively small demand and lower operating costs. "Our next plan is to expand in cities below the third tier like Lishui and Quzhou in Zhejiang. In this place, it is possible for franchisees to make three or five hundred orders a month, complete the distribution by themselves, and it is very good to earn five thousand or eight thousand a month when the costs such as rent are not high. " Liu Bo said.
Switching from the takeaway warehouse to the beauty store is a directly rejected choice. One reason is that physical store business may not be easy to do, and its investment cost will be much higher. "The single-store start-up cost of our project is basically capped at 100,000 to 200,000, and it is not so good (joining) if it is higher." Liu Bo said.

There are always people who can find new opportunities in the depressed environment, but compared with these enthusiastic new players, the normal state of most beauty suppliers and retailers is to face the shrinking business and try to find a way out while being cautious.
Tao Chengqiu, who runs a regional beauty chain brand "Yingcaitang" in Chongqing, told Interface News that since its establishment in 2006, Yingcaitang Beauty Collection Store has been fully self-operated, and it once opened more than 40 stores in the peak period around 2017, but then the development of online channels and the epidemic have successively impacted physical retail, reducing this number to 11 today.
The situation of local counterparts is also not optimistic. In the Chongqing market observed by Tao Chengqiu, about one-third of the beauty stores have fallen down compared with before the epidemic, including large beauty chain brands. "We are not killed by each other, but by other channels and the whole environment." Tao Chengqiu said.
Because the density of stores is far less than before, "a shopping center may not even have two or three (beauty collection) stores." The competition of beauty stores is no longer from offline peers. The biggest problem they face is the decline of offline passenger flow and the impact of online price wars. This forces merchants to try to lower prices and improve services to retain those customers who will patronize physical stores. Tao Chengqiu observed that after the epidemic, the trend of consumption stratification is obvious, and those who buy beauty cosmetics offline are often those who have requirements for quality and have more consumption power.
Yingcaitang therefore adjusted the product structure and increased the proportion of imported products with higher unit price. At present, the price of the products mainly promoted in the store is around 300 yuan. At the same time, they will also focus on the discounts and prices of online channels and make corresponding adjustments to the pricing of stores. For example, during the 618 e-commerce promotion period, Yingcaitang will also make some discounts and purchase activities in the store alone.
However, because the quality and price of the third-party beauty supply chain are often directly linked-too cheap is likely to be fake, Yingcaitang does not dare to reduce the cost of the goods to the extreme, and the lower cost limit is basically the end. In order to avoid being involved in a vicious price war, Yingcaitang will prefer those brands with better market price protection and stable price system when selecting products, especially the main products.
Service and experience are also the advantages that Yingcaitang has strengthened to differentiate itself from e-commerce businesses. Tao Chengqiu told the interface news that Yingcai Tangmen Store has changed from a pure store in the past to a leisure experience scene that can bring more "emotional value" to customers, such as introducing a light beauty service and making more efforts to maintain old customers. "The online price of the same product will always be lower than ours. What we have to do is how to provide other values to customers."

It is a common strategy to enhance competitiveness to provide more soft added value beyond the most basic commodity transactions after the price has been beyond the volume.
The same is true for upstream beauty suppliers. Chen Xiaohu, the person in charge of Zhonghui Rongxin, told Interface News that the homogenization of beauty suppliers is serious now. Apart from the price gap, it is difficult to form a difference in product types, which is mainly determined by market demand. "There may be only a few products that a beauty brand sells well. Those that sell well will always sell well, and those that don’t sell well are not willing to adopt them. So we can only work hard on service and quality control. "
Beauty products are the hardest hit areas for counterfeit goods. A large part of the so-called service and quality control refers to genuine guarantee, such as purchasing from duty-free shops to warehouses, in which no one has touched the goods.
In addition, as the market information becomes transparent, the influx of more peers also makes Zhonghui Rongxin turn to develop other businesses other than pure goods. Since its establishment in early 2018, Zhonghui Rongxin has developed the supply chain services of customs declaration, freight forwarding, bonded warehousing and other systems from the earliest purchasing business, and the latter has become the main business of Zhonghui Rongxin.
These resources once helped Zhonghui Rongxin win more orders during the epidemic than before and after. Because the circulation of goods was limited at that time, the competitiveness of suppliers with better freight forwarding resources was highlighted.
However, after the epidemic, the chill at the downstream retail end also came. Chen Xiaohu told Interface News that the performance of Zhonghui Rongxin after the epidemic was "completely incomparable with those years of the epidemic".
In addition to improving service quality and developing supporting business, Zhonghui Rongxin also turned to overseas (overseas) markets and C-end retail to find incremental.
"Before the epidemic, we tried to export the goods to customers in Taiwan, China and Malaysia, and this year we are also targeting the perfume market in the Middle East countries." According to Chen Xiaohu, in Malaysia, for example, the per capita income level is slightly higher than that of China, and beauty retailers will not over-depress their prices when purchasing, which is better than domestic business.
In addition, Zhonghui Rongxin, like many peers, began to use its own supply chain resources to start C-end retail business. Online private domains such as applets are the first choice, because it can be free from platform rules and avoid "rolling with the platform".
Like Meiyou Beauty, Zhonghui Rongxin basically does not consider offline stores. Because from the experience of Zhonghui Rongxin’s cooperation with physical store customers, the slightly larger beauty chain stores have long account period and slow capital turnover, which does not match the low profit margin of beauty retail; The demand for goods is also high, "a little scratch is not enough", which will also raise operating costs in disguise.

Tao Chengqiu, who is still guarding the beauty store, told the interface news that Yingcaitang is also looking for new growth points online. "As far as the current situation is concerned, the capacity of this market will become smaller and smaller, so how to expand channels and integrate with online will definitely be done."
Offline, Tao Chengqiu expects Yingcaitang to add one or two new stores at most in 2024. The investment in opening a new store is 600,000 to 700,000 yuan. If the situation is ideal, it will take about three years to return to the capital, and vice versa. But it’s better to go one step at a time than to stay where you are.
"The most pessimistic time (2023) has passed, and now it has adapted." Tao Chengqiu believes that although the beauty market or at least the Chongqing market is still cold, it has entered a stable period, and perhaps it will not change much within five years.
At present, surviving the cold winter is the most important thing. (Interface News)

Vaccination is the only effective means to stop preventable pneumonia deaths.

  Ward rounds of children’s respiratory doctors in Chengdu Women and Children Central Hospital

  Small patients waiting to see a doctor outside the pediatric clinic

  Director Chen Yun is in the clinic.

  PICU medical staff in Chengdu Women and Children Central Hospital take care of children with severe pneumonia.

  November 12th is the 11th World Pneumonia Day, and this year’s theme is "Ending preventable pneumonia deaths". World Pneumonia Day was celebrated on November 2, 2009 by an alliance of nearly 100 organizations and institutions around the world — — The Global Alliance for the Eradication of Children’s Pneumonia was launched, and November 12th of each year was determined as World Pneumonia Day. Pneumonia is the main cause of children’s death due to infection all over the world, and the leading cause of children’s death under 5 years old. It is a disease with high consumption of medical resources and high mortality, but it is also a preventable and treatable disease.

  I kissed him and got pneumonia.

  Don’t kiss children at will during the high season of respiratory diseases.

  "Pneumonia? How can the doll be pneumonia and she doesn’t cough? " Just two days after World Pneumonia Day, Ms. Chen, who lives in High-tech Zone, suffered a major blow in her life — — My 3-year-old daughter blossomed with pneumonia. Ms. Chen said that some time ago, the kindergarten organized the children in the class to participate in out-of-town condolence activities. After coming back, the mental state of blossoming has been bad, and later a high fever was inexplicably launched. Because blossoming didn’t cough, she gave the doll antipyretic and the situation improved a little. However, such a good time didn’t last long. Only one day later, after another, blossoming had a fever, and the temperature remained high, reaching a maximum of 39 degrees. It was useless to take antipyretics. Touching her daughter’s hot body, Ms. Chen, who was anxious, took her to Chengdu Women and Children Central Hospital for treatment. Only after an examination did she know that blossoming was actually a severe pneumonia and needed to be admitted to hospital immediately.

  "The doctor said, may be that day to participate in activities, was infected by a kiss her grandmother. You see, it’s been four days, and the fever hasn’t gone down … …” In the hospital bed, the blossoming liquid twisted her small body from time to time because she was uncomfortable. Ms. Chen looked at the blossoming with a haggard face and was very distressed. Ms. Chen told reporters that at the event that day, the lovely blossoming became the focus of the audience. A kind grandmother especially liked her, smiled at her and kissed her on the face … … Unexpectedly, this activity actually made my daughter pay such a painful health price.

  Ai Tao, director of children’s respiratory department of Chengdu Women and Children Central Hospital, said: November to April of the following year is the high incidence season of upper respiratory diseases. Recently, severe pneumonia admitted to hospitals accounted for more than 60% of the inpatients, among which premature infants, low birth weight infants, congenital heart disease infants and newborn two children were the majority, especially in two-child families, where the eldest child often infects the second child or the second child infects the eldest child, and even the elderly infect the children.

  Pneumonia is the "number one killer" that harms children’s health, and it is also the "culprit" that harms the health of the elderly. Pneumonia is a serious infectious disease all over the world, especially for children. This is because children’s immune system is not fully developed, their resistance is weak, and they are vulnerable to various microorganisms, especially children from 6 months to 2 years old. At the same time, children’s colds may also cause pneumonia if they are not treated in time.

  According to the statistics of the World Health Organization, about 700-100 million children under the age of 5 die of diseases caused by pneumococcus every year in the world, and pneumonia kills a child every 15 seconds around the world. Pneumonia is called the "number one killer" against children’s health because it is the main cause of death for all children under 5 years old.

  Because pneumonia is caused by viruses, bacteria or fungi, it can spread in many ways. A cough or sneeze may spread droplets with pneumococcus to children; For the elderly, because of poor physical resistance, or suffering from basic diseases, it is also easy to be invaded by bacteria and viruses. Because of its physiological characteristics, the immunity of pregnant women is suppressed to some extent, so the probability of pneumonia during pregnancy is also high. Pregnant women and lactating women cannot be vaccinated with pneumonia vaccine, which makes pre-pregnancy prevention particularly important.

  Experts suggest that parents should do a good job in the health care and education of dolls, and parents with children under 2 years old must attach great importance to their children’s vaccination. Especially for the invasive pneumococcal disease known as the "health killer" of infants, vaccination as soon as possible can effectively reduce the risk of infection and build a "first line of defense" for the healthy growth of children.

  It is worth parents’ attention that never let people kiss dolls at will, especially when adults have respiratory infection, cough or sneeze, cover their mouths with paper towels or handkerchiefs and avoid directly facing children; Please take the initiative to wear a mask when caring for children and playing with them.

  Not alarmist.

  Pneumonia can cause sequelae such as meningitis and bacteremia.

  At 8 o’clock on Monday morning, Director Chen Yun of Children’s Medical Center of Wenjiang Hospital of Sichuan Provincial People’s Hospital just went to work. The corridor outside the department was crowded with small patients waiting to see a doctor. They were wearing masks and there was a low cough from time to time. Chen Yun glanced at the registration statistics. In just one morning, her number has been ranked to more than 50.

  From 8 o’clock until 11: 35, Chen Yun was so busy that he didn’t even take a sip of water. "I don’t have time. I try not to drink water and avoid going to the toilet. I can see a doll more when I save time. Recently, there are a lot of dolls infected with respiratory diseases, especially now it is flu season, and there are more children with pneumonia caused by flu … …” Chen Yun took time to tell reporters.

  As soon as the voice fell, a couple came in with a 10-month-old doll. "The doll has a fever and feels particularly heavy breathing. Listen carefully to the sound of snoring on the back similar to the rotation of a fan … …” My mother is very experienced. As soon as she sat down, she hurriedly said the symptoms again. After careful examination, Chen Yun was highly suspicious of pneumonia, so he issued a list of lung scans and blood tests. The results of the examination in the afternoon confirmed her suspicion: the 10-month-old boy was diagnosed with pneumonia and was admitted to hospital immediately.

  What is pneumonia? Chen Yun said that the lungs of the human body are composed of small air sacs called alveoli, which communicate with the outside world through bronchioles. Healthy people will be filled with gas when breathing normally. The human body exchanges gas through the lungs, so as to inhale oxygen and expel carbon dioxide, and the inhaled oxygen is supplied to the whole body to maintain the functions of important organs. Pneumonia is an inflammatory disease caused by various pathogenic microorganisms and other non-infectious factors (such as inhalation, allergies, etc.). When suffering from pneumonia, the alveoli are filled with liquid, which will affect the gas exchange function and thus limit the intake of oxygen. The human body will cause a series of serious symptoms due to lack of oxygen.

  She said: Pneumonia is generally caused by infectious factors, including bacteria, viruses, mycoplasma and fungi.

  It is understood that the common infectious factors of pneumonia are: pneumococcus. It is the most common cause of bacterial pneumonia in children, and pneumococcal diseases account for 28% of the preventable diseases of children under 5 years old in the world, ranking first. The number of cases of five-year-old children in China ranks second in the world, accounting for 12%; The carrier rate of pneumococcus in nasopharynx of children under 6 years old is 30%-50%, while that of adults is 4%-12%, and that of adolescents is 8.2%. In contrast, infants and young children are more vulnerable to pneumococcal diseases. 75% of pneumococci occur in children under 2 years old. If not treated in time, it can also cause sequelae such as pneumococcal meningitis, bacteremia pneumonia, bacteremia, osteomyelitis, septic arthritis, cellulitis, brain abscess, pericarditis and endocarditis. About one in three children with pneumococcal meningitis will have sequelae. Even with treatment, the incidence of long-term neurological sequelae in survivors can be as high as 24.7%, while the mortality rate of pneumococcal meningitis in developing countries is 50%.

  In addition to pneumococcus, respiratory syncytial virus and mycoplasma infection are also common causes of pneumonia. Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is the most common cause of viral pneumonia in infants under 2 years old, especially within 6 months, and it is also the most common pathogen of bronchiolitis, which occurs frequently in cold and warm seasons, such as winter and spring. Thirdly, mycoplasma infection, which is a pathogen between bacteria and viruses, is common in school-age children.

  Influenza makes pneumonia more lethal.

  Babies before the age of 6 months need pneumococcal vaccination.

  Influenza and pneumonia are often in cahoots.

  After being infected with the flu, the immune system in the human body will continue to fight the flu virus. At this time, pneumococcus will take advantage of it, causing sudden fever, muscle pain and cough fatigue. Infants, the elderly and the infirm are prone to pneumonia and other complications after suffering from the flu. Influenza is highly contagious, and what needs more attention is that it can be used as a fuse, which can make pneumococcus lurking around the human body more lethal, and the existence of pneumococcus also enhances the spread effect of influenza virus.

  Ai Tao, director of children’s respiratory department of Chengdu Women and Children Central Hospital, said that for babies under 6 months old, their immunity mainly depends on mother-to-child antibodies obtained from their mothers at birth. Mother-to-child antibody level is the highest at birth, and gradually decreases with the growth of infants and children, and reaches the lowest at the age of 6 months. At this time, infants’ own immunity to pathogenic infection is extremely low, which provides the best opportunity for bacteria and viruses to invade and enter the susceptible stage of infectious diseases. At this time, the "immune window period" has become the "high incidence period of infectious diseases in children". Therefore, pneumonia is one of the most serious complications of influenza.

  Influenza virus combined with bacterial infection will increase the mortality of influenza. Among them, pneumococcus is a common pathogen. It turns out that influenza and pneumococcal infection have a synergistic effect. On the one hand, influenza virus can damage the respiratory epithelial layer, making pneumococcal colonization easier; At the same time, other pathological changes caused by virus are also beneficial to pneumococcal disease. On the other hand, pneumococcus can also enhance the pathogenicity of influenza virus. Therefore, in the face of the double threat of influenza and pneumococcus, people at high risk of influenza, such as the elderly and children, should be vaccinated against influenza. However, it is quite serious that babies before the age of 6 months can’t get the flu vaccine and can’t get the specific immune protection of the flu vaccine. Therefore, in order to prevent influenza and pneumococcus, babies before 6 months old need to be vaccinated with pneumococcal vaccine to build an immune firewall for their babies.

  Cruel reality: pneumonia is rampant in all ages.

  Smoking is the biggest risk factor of pneumococcal infection in adults

  The number of cases of pneumococcal infection among children under 5 years old in China ranks second in the world, second only to India. The number of deaths due to pneumococcal infection ranks 10th in the world, and about 30,000 children under 5 years old die from pneumococcal infection every year. This number is much higher than the number of deaths caused by Hib infection. In the Asia-Pacific region, about one child dies of pneumococcal pneumonia every minute. In fact, the treatment of pneumococcal infection in primary hospitals in China is usually empirical treatment with antibiotics. Therefore, the infection status of pneumococcus in China may be underestimated.

  Dolls are prone to pneumonia, so we adults have strong resistance, so it is not easy to get pneumonia? This is a common cognition of many people. However, the reporter learned in the interview that the reality is far more cruel than imagined.

  Children, especially children from 6 months to 2 years old, are vulnerable to various microorganisms because of the incomplete development of their immune system and weak resistance. At the same time, the elderly over 65 years old, or patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, diabetes, malignant tumors and other basic diseases are also high-risk groups of pneumonia.

  If the elderly have chronic diseases such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, pulmonary interstitial fibrosis, bronchiectasis, etc., or the elderly have problems such as heart disease or renal insufficiency, it is even more necessary to vaccinate to prevent pneumonia and reduce the risk of diseases caused by concurrent infection.

  In addition to the elderly and children, young adults with immune deficiency should also be very alert to pneumococcal infection. These special groups should also be the key groups for vaccination.

  In addition, the key populations for vaccination include patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and asthma, patients with chronic heart disease, patients with diabetes, chronic liver disease and cirrhosis, patients with chronic renal failure and nephrotic syndrome. HIV-infected people with impaired immune function, patients with hematological tumors, patients with generalized malignant tumors, recipients of organ transplantation and bone marrow transplantation are also included.

  In the Expert Consensus on Immunoprevention of Pneumococcal Diseases (2017 Edition), it is specifically mentioned that smoking is the biggest independent risk factor for adults to be infected with pneumococcus. Smoking may lead to pneumococcal colonization in the mouth, and the risk of pneumonia will increase with the increase of annual smoking.

  The 2016 edition of Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Adult CAP in China, revised by the Respiratory Branch of Chinese Medical Association, is a technical guide to guide clinicians in standardized diagnosis and treatment. Among them, the content of prevention specifically points out that "pneumococcal vaccine can reduce the risk of pneumonia in a specific population." The trivalent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine can cover 70%-80% of Streptococcus pneumoniae serotypes in China and has good immunogenicity. " The guideline also mentions that "the combined application of pneumococcal vaccine and influenza vaccine can reduce the mortality rate of elderly patients".

  Our province’s medical insurance can pay for the second-class vaccine.

  Vaccination is still the most effective means.

  Winter is the season of high incidence of respiratory diseases. Respiratory diseases have become one of the important public health problems in the world, and have also become the key task and challenge of disease prevention and control in China. Pneumococcus everywhere is threatening the health of infants and the elderly. Compared with passive treatment after illness, active prevention is the best policy to fight pneumococcal diseases.

  According to the new evidence shown in the latest position document of WHO, among children under 5 years old, 75% patients with invasive pneumococcal diseases and 83% patients with pneumococcal meningitis are children under 2 years old, and 8.7%-52.4% patients with pneumonia are infants under 6 months old. In view of the serious disease burden caused by pneumococcal diseases, pneumococcal-related diseases are listed as diseases that need to be prevented by vaccines with a very high priority by WHO. Therefore, from the age of 1.5 months, the baby should be vaccinated with pneumococcal vaccine and other related vaccines as soon as possible to avoid serious diseases caused by the gradual decline of immunity.

  It is understood that there are two kinds of pneumococcal vaccines on the market in China: trivalent pneumococcal polysaccharide conjugate vaccine (PCV13) and trivalent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (PPV23). The immune effect of PPV23 in children under 2 years old is poor, and it can’t be enhanced by repeated inoculation. Therefore, most countries in the world have incorporated the trivalent pneumococcal polysaccharide conjugate vaccine with better immune effect into the national immunization plan, and vaccinated children, young people and the elderly. At present, the trivalent pneumococcal polysaccharide conjugate vaccine has been approved for marketing in more than 160 countries around the world, and more than 125 countries have included it in their national immunization programs.

  For the elderly, the incidence of community-acquired pneumonia caused by pneumococcus is high, the treatment is difficult and the mortality is high. Vaccination with PCV13 vaccine can prevent this kind of disease more effectively. 112 countries have approved the vaccination of PCV13 vaccine in the whole population. In China, PCV13 is currently only approved for infants under 2 years old. In the future, with the emergence of more evidence based on domestic clinical use, this vaccine is expected to be extended to the elderly.

  "Vaccination is an effective way for the human body to obtain antibodies and prevent diseases. At the same time, vaccination, as the most economical and effective means to prevent infectious diseases, has achieved remarkable results in China." Huang Rongna, chief of the Department of Planning and Immunology of Chengdu Center for Disease Control and Prevention, told the reporter that according to the data released by National Health Commission, with the popularization of vaccines for more than 40 years, the incidence of various infectious diseases in China has dropped significantly.

  It is gratifying that although pneumococcus is the primary pathogen causing bacterial infections in children and the elderly, pneumonia can still be prevented and controlled as long as it is prevented in time.

  Vaccination is one of the most economical, effective, safe and convenient methods to prevent infectious diseases. It is understood that there are currently more than 400 vaccination clinics with vaccination qualifications in Chengdu. All children living in our city, whether local or foreign, can go to the community health service centers, township hospitals and other vaccination clinics where they live now, and enjoy homogeneous and equal medical services.

  At the same time, the reporter also learned from Chengdu CDC that medical insurance in our province can pay for the second kind of vaccination. From March 1, 2019, the province-wide non-immunization program vaccination can also be paid through the personal medical insurance account of individuals or their family members.

Some people make wishes by meteors, others are hunted by meteorites …

"Source of this article: Popular Science China"
Author: Enjoy the cool (National Astronomical Observatory, Chinese Academy of Sciences)
The article comes from WeChat official account (ID: kexue Dayuan), a scientific compound.
——
When a meteor streaks across the sky, it’s a romantic scene to make a wish while watching the stars burn all over the sky.
Did you know that these stones from outer space will also be executioners of human beings? If the meteor is no longer fleeting, but comes at you, can you still make a wish for it with peace of mind?
Meteorite-Unburned "Meteor"
The most beautiful astronomical phenomenon is the meteor. Those whispers streaked across the earth’s atmosphere, and generate showed an amazing bright line. Its stay is shorter than a flash in the pan. Most of the space debris forming these bands is very small, and its size is between the size of sand and pebbles. They travel through the atmosphere and burn violently, and they have vanished before they reach the ground. As Tagore wrote: "I have flown, and the sky has not left any trace."
A meteorite entered the earth’s atmosphere during the Leonid meteor shower in November 2002 (Source: NASA)
And those who remain "strong physique" after burning in the atmosphere are out of the romantic category and become meteorites that have an attack on the earth. According to the data recorded in NASA’s meteorite database since 1988, at least 822 large meteorites exploded in the atmosphere and produced raindrops of debris. Some scientists think that as many as 17 meteorites can hit the surface every day.
From April 15th, 1988 to March 4th, 2020, the earth was hit by a meteorite and the impact energy was recorded (image source: NASA).
Indeed, the earth drifting in space is a living target. Every year, many meteorites, big or small, come to the earth. It can be the target of "cosmic sniper", and the meteorite with the size of a projectile falls down and is picked up as a precious collection; It can also be the target of the "space rocket army". When the city-sized stones hit, the whole earth had to be rebuilt. The extinction of dinosaurs 65 million years ago may be related to this.
So, in the long river of history, is there a meteorite that just killed a person? It sounds a bit like comparing meteorites to missiles. During the Chechen war, the leader of the anti-government armed forces became the first person to be killed by missile tracking because a phone was aimed at by the missile. This is natural for missiles with excellent scientific and technological crystallization, and meteorites are ordinary stones in plain English. Without a tracking and guidance system, can it complete the "task" of accurately hitting a person?
During the Chechen war, dudayev, the leader of Chechen anti-government armed forces, was killed by an air-to-ground missile launched by the Russian army immediately after being intercepted by the Russian army (source: kknews).
Victims in history
The last reported meteorite death occurred in 2016. According to a report in an Indian newspaper, a bus driver went to the outdoor pool to wash his face during his lunch break. Unfortunately, the impact of a meteorite from outer space killed him. At the same time, the shock wave caused by the explosion also injured three other people. This incident was immediately reprinted by the new york Times, which made such a rare event once become the after-dinner talk of people all over the world.
After the incident, the Indian authorities inspected the location where a suspected meteorite fell (Source: npr.org).
However, as far as scientific facts are concerned, it is doubtful whether this incident can be characterized as a meteorite attack. The sudden upsurge of the incident attracted experts from NASA, who evaluated it.
Judging from the photos from the scene, this incident has little to do with meteorites, and there is no characteristic that whispers should show in the photos. At the same time, small meteorites will not cause fire or explosion when they hit the ground. It takes at least several kilograms of meteorites to form a crater as big as the one published on the Internet. Although local scientists in India have revealed more details about the incident, the results still show that it is unlikely to come from space, and the culprit is more likely to be a man-made object.
What left a deep impression on the public was the incident that happened in Chelyabinsk, Russia in 2013: a meteorite with a diameter of 17 meters and a weight of 7,000 tons rushed towards the earth at a speed of 54 times the speed of sound, and the meteorite that exploded in mid-air caused three shock waves with different energies. About 1500 people were injured in this incident, most of them were injured by shattered glass. Part of the roof collapsed during the explosion. This is the most powerful meteorite attack since the Tunguska Big Bang in 1908. Fortunately, no one lost his life in this accident.
The left picture above is a part of the meteorite of the Chelyabinsk incident, and the right picture shows the broken window of the local opera house after the incident (source: Wikipedia).
Therefore, although meteorites are dangerous, the probability of directly hitting people is very low. At present, the only confirmed incident of meteorite hitting people dates back to 1954. A lady named Hodges was comfortably taking a nap on the sofa at home. A meteorite smashed through the roof of her house and directly hit her leg, causing a big bruise on the left side of her body. Pity this lady who sleeps alone at home, disaster comes from heaven, and she is literally lying down and being shot.

Who is truly the first victim?
Although the Indian media said that the 2016 incident was the first meteorite killing incident, from an academic point of view, this timeline has to be moved forward. The time just mentioned in 1954 was earlier than that in 2016, but it was not a "murder case".
Moving on, the Tunguska Big Bang in Siberia in 1908 was the most famous. It is estimated that the explosive power at that time was equivalent to 20 million tons of TNT explosive, which was 1000 times as powerful as the atomic bomb dropped by the United States on Hiroshima. More than 80 million trees in 2150 square kilometers burned down, with a total area of 2150 square kilometers, and hundreds of reindeer and two people were killed. Fortunately, the explosion happened in the sparsely populated Siberian region.
At present, the main doubt in academic circles is whether the culprit is an asteroid or a comet. Also, because the explosion occurred in a place away from human settlements, Russia at that time paid little attention to this incident, and some records may be lost in the subsequent turbulent years. I believe we can continue to grow potatoes there after the incident is thoroughly investigated.

From an academic paper recently published in the journal Meteorite and Planetary Science[1]From the point of view, "the murder of human beings by meteorites" may need to be traced back to 1888 at the earliest. A number of documents found in the Turkish National Archives show that on August 22nd, 1888 (during the Ottoman Empire), a falling meteorite hit the Kurdistan region of Iraq, killing one person and paralyzing another for life.
The x in the upper left corner is the place where the explosion occurred, and the red arrow is the meteorite movement route speculated by the researchers (image source: Reference 1).
The record of this incident contains three independent documents in total, and its authority is beyond doubt. According to the records, at about 8: 30 pm on the day of the incident, a big fireball appeared in the sky, and then meteorites fell from the sky like rain. The whole incident lasted about 10 minutes. The document mentioned that both the unknown victim and the victim were directly hit by meteorites.
Unfortunately, there was no good astronomical monitoring system at that time. According to the description in the government report, the main fireball of high-altitude explosion also destroyed crops and farmland in this area, which is very consistent with the characteristics of meteorite attack. At present, the investigation is still going on. According to the village where it was found and the location where the impact debris was found, the researchers speculated that the "offensive" route of the meteorite was southeast. Due to the limited data at present, we can’t make a perfect resumption, so we can’t know the exact height, speed, size and position of the fireball.
These are three documents that reveal the incident. At present, the research team is still searching for more documents related to this incident (image source: Reference 1).
Why do you want to study the meteorite wounding incident?
This study is very enlightening. History is not entirely written in mainstream languages such as Chinese and English. Because the language recorded at that time was Turkish, the minority-biased language made this incident silent for more than a hundred years and became the earliest meteorite murder case discovered at present. However, we can’t conclude that this is the earliest meteorite murder case in human history. From the perspective of probability, since someone was killed in one hundred years, the possibility of someone being injured by meteorites in two hundred years and one thousand years is also very high.
The process of pursuing the earliest meteorite murder case is still going on, which is not only a curiosity, but also a process of evaluating the danger of the earth in space. It is not easy to accomplish such a task. It is not only a category of astronomy, but also involves history. In the process of work, interdisciplinary cooperation with archivists and translators is needed.
Fanwai: Records of Ming Dynasty in China
Curious, you may ask: Is there any record of meteorite impact in the history of China?
There really is, that is, the big explosion at Wanggong Factory in the Ming Dynasty. Wang Gong Factory was a powder magazine for manufacturing and storing gunpowder in Beijing at that time. A bizarre explosion occurred in the sixth year of the apocalypse (1626). At that time, a copy of "Tianbian Mansion" edited and distributed by a private newspaper office recorded that the explosion caused heavy casualties of more than 20,000 people, with an explosion area of 2.25 square kilometers, which was equivalent to the Hiroshima atomic bomb. This incident and the "Tunguska Big Bang" are listed as two unsolved cases of mass destruction in human history.
Unfortunately, regarding the explosion, the power described by different channels varies greatly. According to the official Records of the Ming Dynasty and Xizong, the explosion caused more than 10,000 houses to collapse, with more than 500 victims. The only certainty is that it is unlikely that things will be misreported. It can be inferred from the literature that "the sound is like a roar" and "there is a big light in the sky", which is quite consistent with the phenomena such as sparks and fireballs formed by friction with the atmosphere and the vibration and noise caused by hitting the ground when the meteorite rushes to the earth.
Imagine the Big Bang of Wang Gong Factory (Source: Sina)
However, the place where the incident occurred was an arsenal, which was an accidental explosion caused by a security risk, and it was not impossible. Coupled with the fierce party struggle at that time, the possibility of describing man-made disasters as natural disasters for political interests should not be underestimated. At present, there is still controversy in academic circles, so let’s press no table first.
There are many arguments in the history forum that "I know the world is invincible", so please ask curious readers to think about it. Is it possible that this was a failed nuclear test at that time? A minority argument holds that the Ming army exploded when it was collecting thunder stones (containing uranium) to make nuclear weapons. Here, the source of this view is posted in Reference 5 for your reading and thinking.

Re-expansion of cross-border e-commerce comprehensive experimental zone

  Ganzhou City, Jiangxi Province actively promotes the "integration of three areas" between Ganzhou land port and Ganzhou Comprehensive Bonded Zone and China (Ganzhou) cross-border electronic commerce Comprehensive Experimental Zone, and realizes the integrated development of "China-Europe trains and cross-border e-commerce".

  Pingxiang County, Xingtai City, Hebei Province vigorously expands the foreign trade export market, supports cross-border e-commerce enterprises to expand export scale, and promotes foreign trade enterprises to become bigger and stronger.

  On November 24th, "the State Council’s Reply on Agreeing to Establish cross-border electronic commerce Comprehensive Experimental Zone in 33 cities and regions such as Langfang" (hereinafter referred to as "Reply") was officially released, agreeing to establish cross-border electronic commerce Comprehensive Experimental Zone in 33 cities and regions such as Langfang, Zaozhuang and Lhasa. So far, the number of comprehensive experimental zones in cross-border electronic commerce, China has reached 165, covering 31 provinces.

  There are 165 cross-border e-commerce comprehensive test areas.

  The "Reply" proposes to agree to Langfang City, Cangzhou City, Yuncheng City, Baotou City, Anshan City, Yanji City, Tongjiang City, Bengbu City, Nanping City, Ningde City, Pingxiang City, Xinyu City, Yichun City, Ji’ an City, Zaozhuang City, Jining City, Taian City, Dezhou City, Liaocheng City, Binzhou City, Heze City, Jiaozuo City and Xuchang City. This is the seventh batch of cross-border electronic commerce Comprehensive Experimental Zone established in China. Previously, the State Council has carried out the construction of cross-border electronic commerce Comprehensive Experimental Zone in 132 cities including Hangzhou, Ningbo and Tianjin in six batches.

  Hong Yong, an associate researcher at the E-commerce Research Institute of the Ministry of Commerce, told this reporter: "In recent years, the model of cross-border e-commerce comprehensive test area has become more and more mature, and this year there has been a relatively rare ‘ Two batches a year ’ This also shows China’s determination to further expand reform and opening up. " After this expansion, there are 165 cross-border e-commerce comprehensive test zones in China, covering 31 provinces in China, and the cross-border e-commerce comprehensive test zones are moving towards the stage of inclusiveness.

  In terms of geographical distribution, the cities where the 33 newly-established cross-border electronic commerce Comprehensive Experimental Zones are located have a good foreign trade foundation, and pay more attention to the central and western regions and border areas in geographical distribution, gradually expanding from the eastern and southern coastal areas to inland provinces, and extending from central cities and provincial capitals to second-and third-tier cities. Hong Yong pointed out that it is worth noting that this expansion includes Lhasa, Xizang Autonomous Region, which fills the gap that there is no cross-border e-commerce comprehensive test area in Xizang. After this expansion, Shandong Province has achieved full coverage of cities under its jurisdiction, becoming the fourth province in China to achieve full coverage of cross-border electronic commerce Comprehensive Experimental Zone. Previously, Zhejiang, Jiangsu and Guangdong provinces also achieved full coverage.

  Copy and popularize mature experiences and practices.

  According to the "Reply", the construction of a new batch of comprehensive test areas should replicate and promote the mature experience and practices of the first six batches of comprehensive test areas.

  In terms of specific construction promotion, the Reply proposes to give full play to cross-border electronic commerce’s positive role in helping traditional industries to transform and upgrade, promoting the digital development of industries, promoting the optimization and upgrading of foreign trade, and accelerating the construction of a trade power. It is necessary to protect the rights and interests of personal information and create a good business environment for all kinds of market players to participate in market competition fairly.

  Subjects at all levels should implement their responsibilities. The "Reply" requires that the people’s governments of relevant provinces (autonomous regions) should further refine the task of piloting first, highlight key points, be driven by innovation, give full play to the decisive role of the market in allocating resources, give better play to the role of the government, effectively guide social resources, rationally allocate public resources, and solidly promote the construction of comprehensive experimental areas. At the same time, the relevant departments of the State Council should strengthen coordination, guidance and policy support for the comprehensive experimental zone in accordance with the division of functions, and give full play to the demonstration and leading role of the comprehensive experimental zone. Efforts will be made to explore and innovate in the technical standards, business processes, supervision modes and information construction related to business-to-business (B2B) mode in cross-border electronic commerce, and more supporting measures will be studied and introduced to create a good environment for the development of the comprehensive experimental zone and better promote and standardize the industrial development of cross-border electronic commerce.

  In addition, the "Reply" also proposes to further improve cross-border electronic commerce’s statistical system and implement supporting policies such as exempting cross-border electronic commerce’s retail export goods from value-added tax and consumption tax according to regulations. Enterprises can choose to collect enterprise income tax, and automatically apply cross-border electronic commerce’s retail import pilot policy to cities (regions) where the comprehensive experimental area is confirmed to meet the regulatory requirements by the local customs, and support enterprises to build and share overseas warehouses.

  Add impetus to the steady growth of foreign trade.

  In recent years, cross-border e-commerce has become an important starting point for stabilizing foreign trade and promoting consumption with the support of policies. In the past five years, the scale of cross-border e-commerce in China has increased nearly tenfold. In 2021, the import and export scale of cross-border e-commerce in China reached 1.92 trillion yuan, an increase of 18.6%, achieving continuous growth. In the first half of this year, the import and export volume of cross-border e-commerce increased by 28.6% year-on-year. Among them, the cross-border e-commerce comprehensive test area has obvious driving effect.

  The relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Commerce said earlier that at present, the cross-border e-commerce comprehensive test zone in China basically covers the whole country, forming a development pattern of linkage between the land and the sea and mutual assistance between the east and the west. According to the previous comprehensive evaluation of the first five batches of cross-border e-commerce comprehensive test zones by the Ministry of Commerce, the first five batches of comprehensive test zones have vigorously promoted innovation in systems, management and services, and achieved remarkable results in construction, effectively helping foreign trade to maintain stability and improve quality.

  The continuous expansion of the cross-border e-commerce comprehensive experimental zone will accelerate the pace of building a strong trading country. "The new cross-border electronic commerce Comprehensive Experimental Zone reflects the government’s emphasis on the new format of cross-border e-commerce, and hopes to help transform and upgrade traditional industries and promote the high-quality development of foreign trade through cross-border e-commerce." Hong Yong said, "We should accelerate the B2B model and support cross-border e-commerce brand building. Relying on ‘ 9710’ ‘ 9810’ Regulatory model, used car export pilot, etc., promote the integration of industries with international competitive advantages and cross-border e-commerce, optimize the international logistics channel of cross-border e-commerce based on China-Europe trains and new channels of international trade, and support the innovation of B2B export business of cross-border e-commerce. "

Which film companies have won the global box office titles over the years?

Since the film was born in 1895, commercial films have been closely related to Hollywood in the United States. The history of American movies accounts for almost half of the world’s movie history. Since the birth of a country appeared in 1915, American blockbusters have topped the global box office almost every year. Of course, their companies are basically American.
