"Fake" or "fake"? When justice becomes "business": professional counterfeiters wandering on the edge of gray

  ? In 1993, the Law of People’s Republic of China (PRC) on the Protection of Consumers’ Rights and Interests was promulgated, in which Article 49 stipulates that if an operator commits fraud in providing goods or services, it shall increase the compensation for the losses it has suffered according to the requirements of consumers, and the amount of the increase in compensation shall be twice the price of the goods purchased by consumers or the cost of receiving services. This is the punitive damages system that first appeared in the Law on the Protection of Consumer Rights and Interests in People’s Republic of China (PRC). Wang Hai, the first professional counterfeiter in China, appeared more than one year after the implementation of the law.

  ? In 2021, the newly revised Food Safety Law of People’s Republic of China (PRC) proposed that if the amount of compensation is less than 1,000 yuan, 1000 yuan can be used. Therefore, food has also become the focus of professional counterfeiters.

  ? In 2013, Article 3 of the Supreme People’s Court’s Provisions on Several Issues Concerning the Application of Laws in the Trial of Food and Drug Disputes states that if a dispute arises over the quality of food and drug, the buyer claims the rights from the producer and seller, and the producer and seller make a defense on the grounds that the buyer still buys the food and drug knowing that there are quality problems, the people’s court will not support it. The expression in the article is no longer "consumer" but "buyer", which also makes many people think that the behavior of "knowing the fake and buying the fake" is recognized.

  ? In 2017, in a reply to professional counterfeiting in the Supreme People’s Court, it was clearly stated that we could consider gradually restricting the profit-making counterfeiting behavior of professional counterfeiters in situations other than buying food and medicine.

  ? In 2019, Article 15 of the Interim Measures for Handling Complaints and Reports in Market Supervision and Management also mentioned that if it is not necessary to buy or use goods or accept services for daily consumption, or it cannot be proved that there is a dispute between consumers and the respondent, the market supervision and management department will not accept it. This method also limits the "professional counterfeiters" to a certain extent.

  Seeing the familiar cars parked near the store, Shi Gang had some headaches and some helplessness. "The gang is coming again." He hurried to the office and told the staff to take the time to carefully check the goods in the store and deal with the problems in time, but he felt that it would not help.

  Shi Gang is the manager of a large supermarket in Jinan. What makes him headache is a group of "professional counterfeiters". Professional counterfeiters, a group that appears with the punitive damages system in the Law of People’s Republic of China (PRC) on the Protection of Consumers’ Rights and Interests and the Law of People’s Republic of China (PRC) on Food Safety, are becoming more and more huge in recent years.

  In the eyes of many people, "counterfeiters" are the embodiment of justice, and when "counterfeiting" is misused as a "business" and becomes a "sharp weapon" for malicious profit, has justice changed its flavor?

  "Fake" becomes "fake"

  "Come to the store every month ‘ Sweep ’ A few times, I will hardly return empty-handed. " Shi Gang said, "It’s really no exaggeration. It will come out every few days, some store managers are on the verge of collapse, and a few have resigned. " Shi Gang said that when these professional counterfeiters came to the store, their goal was very clear. They went straight to the "problem" goods, took the checkout, sent them back to Weibo or went directly to the service desk to claim compensation. Most of them were food, and the most common reason for claiming compensation was that the food had expired. "Some of them may have just expired for one or two days, which is very accurate."

  Li Wei is the person in charge of quality and safety of another supermarket chain in Jinan. Many professional counterfeiters have added WeChat to his mobile phone. For Shi Gang’s statement, he also has a deep understanding. These people add his WeChat just to ask for money. Dealing with professional counterfeiters for a long time, Li Wei has even found out their "origin". "Basically, there are three groups, organized and planned, and usually employ 5-10 people to go to major shopping malls and supermarkets to find ‘ Question ’ Buy it immediately after it is found, and ask the person in charge of the problem for a high fee after the checkout. If the negotiation fails, send it to Weibo or send a video on other platforms, and then match it with the words that are eye-catching, such as ‘ So-and-so supermarket is crazy, selling expired goods to harm ordinary people, not only refusing to return them, but also saying that eating them won’t kill people ’ Waiting for false statements, in fact, they didn’t communicate with us in this respect except for claims. They just used this way to attract the attention of netizens who don’t know the truth on the Internet and forced us to meet their demands through the pressure of public opinion. " Speaking of these people’s practices, Li Wei’s teeth itch with hate, but there is nothing he can do.

  Li Wei showed reporters a few screenshots of Weibo. Counterfeiters bought expired food in different supermarkets. Except for the time and product name, the text content of rights protection is almost the same. After the purpose of claim is achieved, Weibo will be deleted soon. If you refuse to pay compensation, relevant pictures, texts and videos will not be deleted, and supermarkets may be "missed", and other counterfeiters will make retaliatory claims. It is also for fear of retaliation that Li Wei even dared not send a screenshot of his WeChat transfer to professional counterfeiters to reporters.

  Li Li’s supermarket is also a large supermarket chain, and the new store has just been targeted by professional counterfeiters for half a month. "We have just opened for half a month, and the goods are all new. How can they be expired?" At first, Li Li refused to pay compensation, but a message of "unscrupulous merchants" quickly appeared on platforms such as Weibo and Tik Tok, and fierce words such as "entrapping ordinary people" and "shocking" attracted people’s attention. At the end of the article, more than a dozen accounts such as @ merchant headquarters, functional departments, major media and Internet V were returned. "The headquarters soon saw it, so let’s eliminate the influence as soon as possible, and worry that the situation will ferment and affect the reputation of the company. Finally, I solved this matter with my own pocket." Li Li said that in the most month, she lost more than 10,000 yuan of professional counterfeiters, which was higher than her salary. "Sometimes I really feel that I can’t do it anymore."

  "They are not normal counterfeiters." Li Wei told the New Yellow River reporter that these people would take some special measures. For example, take away the temporary food found during the "stepping on the spot", hide it in other areas of the supermarket where goods are not regularly tallied, such as the home appliance area, and then come to see it from time to time, and then come to the supermarket to take the checkout and claim for compensation immediately after it expires. For example, if you buy the food that is about to expire, you will come to the supermarket to buy the same product after it expires, and then you will change the package after checking out, and then claim for compensation. Because the settlement system of major supermarkets can’t identify when the goods are checked out, and the counterfeiters do hold the shopping receipts and goods, the merchants can’t prove their innocence, so they can only recognize the planting. There are also some counterfeiters who will make a fuss about irregular food certificates and labels. "Even if the goods really expire, they won’t all buy one-time checkout, but a single product will be settled separately. For example, if there are three bottles of expired mineral water, then these three bottles will be settled in three orders, and each one will claim 1000 yuan." Li Wei introduced, "Some professional counterfeiters will record the batches when they find the problem goods, and send them to their groups, so that others can go to other supermarkets in the same chain store for counterfeiting, because the purchase channels of each family are the same."

  Safeguarding rights into "maintaining money"

  Li Wei said that every single claim for 1000 yuan, professional counterfeiters are based on one of the provisions of the People’s Republic of China (PRC) Food Safety Law: "In the production of food that does not meet food safety standards or the operation of food that is known to be inconsistent with food safety standards, consumers can demand compensation from producers or operators for ten times the price or three times the loss; If the amount of additional compensation is less than 1,000 yuan, it will be 1,000 yuan. However, unless there are flaws in the labels and instructions of food that do not affect food safety and will not mislead consumers. " However, the prices of "problem goods" found by professional counterfeiters in Li Wei are not too high, so whether they know it or not, whether it will mislead consumers, every single claim made by professional counterfeiters is 1000 yuan. "They have a good grasp and don’t want more than a dime."

  There is no threshold, it is easy to get money, and professional counterfeiting has become a shortcut for many people to get rich. In the post bar of a professional counterfeiter, there are many posts of "counterfeiting and bringing people". There used to be media reporters undercover in the group of professional counterfeiters, and many so-called "masters" were apprentices, with tuition fees ranging from 300 yuan to 1000 yuan. Some people say that it is not a dream to enter 30 thousand a month after starting a career. This statement has also been affirmed by Li Wei. "The leaders of some professional counterfeiters can earn more than 100,000 yuan a month, and the annual income can even exceed one million."

  What kind of group was the last professional counterfeiter in Zhihu? How do they work? " In the post, this group is described as follows: most professional counterfeiters almost never fake, but among them, the master earns millions of dollars a year. It has even developed into a profession, and mentoring is passed down. They have certain industry and legal knowledge, buy defective products in bulk, and then get several times compensation through reconciliation, complaints, litigation and other channels, and take this as their business. The post also mentioned that they are mainly aimed at large supermarkets and suppliers behind them; Products are mainly well-known brands and imported products; The entangled problems are mainly irrelevant labels and other issues. The reason is nothing more than that big supermarkets and big brands care more about their reputation, and they have certain strength, so it is easier to claim compensation.

  Shi Gang also agrees that these people are not really defending their rights, but are asking for money by defending their rights. "Some professional counterfeiters did help us find the problem products, which we sincerely accept, but some people just want money. If it is normal rights protection, it should be reasonably negotiated with the supermarket or complained to the regulatory authorities, instead of asking for money directly, and expanding the influence without giving it. "

  Difficult situation to break.

  In fact, there have been many voices around professional counterfeiters for more than 20 years since the promulgation of the Law on the Protection of Consumer Rights and Interests in People’s Republic of China (PRC). After careful study, the focus of the debate lies in whether counterfeiters are consumers, how to identify them and how to treat "knowing fakes and buying fakes".

  "The accurate definition of this group should be ‘ Professional claimant ’ Counterfeiting such as tampering with the production date, replacing expired products, altering forged marks, etc. is illegal, and if the circumstances are serious, it even constitutes a crime and should be punished by law. " Yu Xingqin, a lawyer of Beijing Yingke (Jinan) Law Firm, said that enterprises should dare to use legal weapons to protect their legitimate rights and interests. When encountering extortion by professional counterfeiters, they should call the police at the first time to protect their rights and interests, do a good job of collecting evidence by audio and video recording, and use the power of the police to deter illegal acts. "Don’t let letting things go become the weakness of businesses."

  If there are illegal acts such as selling expired food and fake and inferior food, the market supervision department will not tolerate them. "The legitimate consumer rights protection with sufficient evidence and clear facts is supported by the law and government departments. This is the proper meaning of social co-governance." The relevant person in charge of the Jinan Municipal Market Supervision Bureau said that when the rights and interests of ordinary consumers are damaged, it is necessary to pay attention to retaining evidence such as consumption vouchers, make complaints through the 12345 hotline or other formal channels in time, and safeguard their legitimate rights and interests according to law. "If the business is true ‘ False ’ There are omissions in food safety management, and even attempts to fish in troubled waters. This behavior will be investigated by the market supervision department and efforts will be made to maintain fair competition order in the market and the legitimate rights and interests of consumers. "

  "The legitimate production and operation of enterprises must be protected, and the legitimate rights and interests of consumers should be advocated. There is no contradiction and contradiction between the two." Some experts in the industry said that professional counterfeiters claim for their own interests, and "hunting" businesses and even "counterfeiting" obviously deviate from the original intention of legislation and consumer protection, and even have been suspected of committing crimes, which is also contrary to the construction of an honest government. "Their existence has seriously troubled the production and operation order of enterprises, affected the business environment, and abused the rights of complaint reporting, reconsideration litigation, and monitoring complaints, occupying limited administrative and judicial resources. For merchants, ‘ Strike while the iron is hot ’ ; As far as supervision is concerned, it is recommended to be led by the government, and enterprises, online information, public security, market supervision, courts and other departments jointly form a joint effort. Merchants actively seek legal assistance to fundamentally eradicate the breeding ground for chaos. " (At the request of the interviewee, Shi Gang, Li Wei and Li Li are all pseudonyms.)

  (Jinan Times New Yellow River Client Reporter Cao Yu)

The "bad check" prevails in LED industry, and the triangular debt of small and medium-sized enterprises tightens the capital chain.

Every editor | Every reporter Guo Rongcun from Shenzhen and Zhongshan    

Every reporter Guo Rongcun is from Shenzhen and Zhongshan.

After waiting for more than a month, Luo Ziming didn’t want a penny back.

"Xie Yingxiong has 60,000 yuan and a car in his hand. How much do you think you can divide?" Luo Ziming said.

Xie Yingxiong used to be the owner of Xiongji Lighting Factory, a billion-dollar LED enterprise in Zhongshan City, Guangdong Province. At the beginning of July, the company’s capital chain was broken, and Xie owed Luo Ziming and many other suppliers 25 million yuan to run away (for details, please refer to this newspaper’s report on July 8, 2013: "The epitome of low-end LED industry: Zhongshan billion-dollar giants" fell "on the road of low-price competition").

On July 18th, Xie Yingxiong was arrested in his hometown of Meizhou, Guangdong. However, Xie Yingxiong has lost his solvency, so until today, Luo Ziming didn’t get a penny back.

Luo Ziming’s experience is not a case. Recently, national business daily reporters in Zhongshan, Shenzhen and other places found that due to the poor sales of terminal products, the triangular debt problem in the entire industrial chain of LED industry has been very serious, and many small and medium-sized enterprises have tight capital chains, and the crisis caused by capital problems is accumulating.

Default on payment by writing a check/

Luo Ziming has given up much hope of getting the money back. He runs an LED lighting accessories company in Guzhen, Zhongshan City. On the day before Xie Yingxiong ran away, the other party asked him to send more than 20,000 yuan of goods. "In this industry, there are too many debts in business dealings and many people run away."

Like Luo Ziming, Zhang Weiqi was also the victim of the collapse of Xiongji Company. Taking a fancy to the perfect supporting capacity of Guzhen lamp industry, he came here from Jiangsu and Zhejiang a few years ago and started a lamp holder company. Because Xie ran away, he paid more than 200,000 yuan to Shui Piao.

The debt problem of LED industry makes Zhang Weiqi miserable. In his words, once a company goes bankrupt, it almost means that all the hard work of one year is in vain.

Zhang Weiqi took a stack of checks, shook them and said to the reporter, "Look, these are all empty checks." In the ancient town, it is very popular to default on payment by writing checks. According to Zhang Weiqi, these checks don’t look strange on the surface, but there will be problems when you go to the bank to withdraw money. For example, some passwords are wrong, some are deliberately blurred by one or two words, and eventually you can’t get the money.

Zhang Weiqi said that the general payment method in the LED industry here is monthly settlement, which takes one or two months, and then one month’s check, so it is three months. And when you go to get the check, the finance is gone, the boss is gone, and it will be delayed for another month, that is, four months. "Now it takes half a year to turn over the money, which is very much."

Not only the ancient town of Zhongshan, where LED industry gathers, but also the problem of arrears in Shenzhen is equally prominent. Now, Li Wei, manager of Shenzhen Ruiwang Semiconductor Co., Ltd., has been afraid to take orders casually. "At present, we mainly do familiar customers with good reputation, while unfamiliar customers are cautious."

Li Wei’s company mainly makes LED phosphors and belongs to the upstream supplier of packaging enterprises. He told the reporter of national business daily that the phenomenon of arrears in the whole industry is very common now. What you owe me, I owe him. In order to ensure the safety of cash flow, if he meets a strange customer, he will know the company clearly before he dares to supply it.

Shenzhen Ouyamei Technology Co., Ltd. mainly produces and sells LED industry equipment. Wang Jiang, the person in charge of the company, told reporters that the capital chain of some LED companies is "quite tight."

In this case, he didn’t even dare to urge the downstream packaging enterprises to owe them money. "As soon as I urged you, I decided that the money was not needed, and the machine wanted us to take it away."

Wang Jiang said that the triangular debt problem of the LED industry in Shenzhen is very serious at present. The downstream lighting factory owes money to the midstream packaging factory, and the packaging factory owes money to the upstream chip and phosphor companies, so that the arrears are pushed up one after another, and finally a debt chain is formed along the industrial chain.

And the severity of this debt chain is still deepening. Wang Jiang said that although the market situation is not very good, enterprises generally don’t choose to stop production, not only because it will be more troublesome to recruit workers after stopping production, but more importantly, once the production is stopped, suppliers will speed up the dunning, and then they will have to wait for bankruptcy.

The problem of capital chain has caused banks to be alert/

Zhang Weiqi said that being in arrears with the payment for goods is not the most terrible thing. If there is another hero, I may go bankrupt with it. This is the most terrible thing.

According to the incomplete statistics of national business daily, since July this year, five LED enterprises have closed down in Zhongshan and Shenzhen alone. These closed enterprises involved hundreds of suppliers, which made the negative impact spread outward in a wave form.

The latest bankrupt Shenzhen Leixingguang Electric Co., Ltd. is a company directly dragged down by arrears. According to the reporter’s understanding, this company was established in April 2010. Before the bankruptcy, the payment of 1 million yuan was delayed, but the upstream suppliers kept urging money, which led to the break of the capital chain.

The problem of capital chain has aroused the high vigilance of banks. It has been publicly reported that the Guangdong branch of a big bank has urgently notified its subordinate branches to warn of the risks in the LED industry. The branch believes that the investment scale of LED industry is growing rapidly, overcapacity is prominent, and systemic risks appear.

In the view of Zhang Xiaofei, president of the Institute of LED Industry, such a debt relationship will have a chain reaction once there is a problem in a certain link. This chain reaction is first manifested in the possibility of directly dragging down a supplier.

And the impact of the chain reaction is not limited to this. Zhang Xiaofei said, for example, if a display company goes bankrupt, its suppliers may be very nervous. In addition to looking for closed enterprises to recover the payment, the supplier may immediately ask other enterprises or customers for money, causing other enterprises to have tight capital turnover problems.

"This industrial chain itself is relatively tight. Once one place is broken, others may be broken." Zhang Xiaofei judged that when everyone is nervous to a certain extent and there is no money to make, someone will fall down. Once someone falls down, there will be a chain reaction.

Zhang Xiaofei reminded that compared with lamps, LED display enterprises are in a greater dilemma at present. First, the production of display screens requires higher capital and space; Second, under the background of the country’s vigorous promotion of frugality, frugality has also received responses from various places, which will have an impact on the sales of LED display screens.

Wang Jiang said that when the market is not good, it is extremely important to keep cash flow. On the one hand, we should reduce expenses as much as possible, on the other hand, we should not blindly expand.

Unclear business model or main reason/

Liu Jun, deputy secretary-general of Guangdong Lighting Electrical Appliances Association and director of Guangdong Guangya Lighting Research Institute, said in an interview with national business daily that the root cause of the triangular debt is that the downstream LED lighting application enterprises do not make money and their business models are unclear.

"Take the three major channels for domestic sales of application products as an example, and the e-commerce channel burns money; It is difficult to distribute goods and collect money through distribution channels; In the engineering channel, the EMC (contract energy management) model is too expensive, and the money is not easy to collect, or the projects of the government and real estate developers have to be pressed for money, and there is little cash purchase. "

Liu Jun said that in this context, many enterprises are forced or pushed forward, but it can be clearly seen that the lower end of the industrial chain lacks cash flow.

Wang Jiang told reporters that if the whole LED industry chain is compared to a big tree, then the downstream application links are like roots, which need to absorb nutrients from the soil of consumers, and then conduct nutrients upwards to maintain the vitality of the whole tree. But the problem now is that the sales of these end products are not very smooth and the bargaining power is weak.

According to the reporter of national business daily, the poor terminal sales are related to the large-scale expansion of production capacity of enterprises in the first half of the year. From March to June this year, the LED market showed a short-term recovery, and many people in the industry predicted that the LED industry had ushered in an outbreak period, so there was a phenomenon of oversupply.

"In the first half of the year, the LED market was really good, and many customers couldn’t even get the goods, so everyone started to install equipment and expand production capacity, resulting in overcapacity and sales difficulties in the second half of the year." Wang Jiang said.

LED is called the third light source revolution and is regarded as a sunrise industry with good development prospects. At the beginning of this year, Chen Yansheng, vice chairman and secretary general of China Lighting Electrical Appliances Association, mentioned at a meeting that there are more than 10,000 LED manufacturing enterprises in China, with a large number of enterprises but a small scale.

Zhang Hongbiao, research director of Hi-Tech LED Industry Research Institute, said in an interview with the media that there has been obvious overcapacity in LED lighting enterprises across the country. In the first half of this year, the capacity utilization rate of domestic LED lighting enterprises was only nearly 60%, slightly better than before.

sectoral dynamics

Behind the triangular debt of LED industry: 14 listed companies have high receivables.

Every reporter Guo Rongcun is from Guangzhou.

On August 27th, Wanrun Technology (002654, SZ), an LED industry company, released the semi-annual report, and the company achieved an operating income of 202 million yuan, a slight increase of 2.82% year-on-year. However, the company’s accounts receivable reached 123 million yuan, more than half of the revenue, an increase of 14.99% over the 107 million yuan at the beginning of the year.

National business daily made statistics on 14 key listed companies in LED industry that have published semi-annual reports, and found that the accounts receivable of these 14 companies increased in the first half of the year compared with the beginning of the year, with the highest increase of 40%.

Among these 14 companies, the highest increase in accounts receivable is Ruifeng Optoelectronics (300241, SZ), a company with revenue of 294 million yuan in the first half of the year, with accounts receivable reaching 163 million yuan, an increase of 40.20% over the beginning of the year.

The accounts receivable of Zhouming Technology (300232, SZ) also increased greatly. At the beginning of the year, the data was 107 million yuan, and the data published in the semi-annual report increased to 146 million yuan, an increase of 35.67%.

The smallest increase was Lianjian Optoelectronics (300,269, SZ), and the data at the end of the first half of the year was 245 million yuan, with an increase of only 0.95%. However, from the comparison of operating income, the company’s operating income in the first half of the year was 254 million yuan, almost equal to accounts receivable. Financial risks are specifically mentioned in the company’s key risk tips, saying that the company’s accounts receivable scale is growing, and accounts receivable occupy a large amount during the reporting period. Excessive accounts receivable increase the occupation of working capital, which is not conducive to the improvement of operating efficiency, and may also lead to bad debts and make the company suffer losses.

According to the statistics of national business daily, the total accounts receivable of these 14 companies reached 5.12 billion yuan, while the opening balance was 4.294 billion yuan, an increase of 19.24% in half a year.

On the one hand, the money owed to others is increasing, and on the other hand, the money owed to others is also increasing. Among the 14 key LED companies, accounts payable of 10 companies have increased, and the growth rate of individual companies has even reached several times.

The biggest growth rate is Huacan Optoelectronics (300323, SZ). The company’s accounts payable was 58 million yuan at the beginning of the year, and soared to 203 million yuan in the first half of the year, with an increase of 251.01%. According to the company, the increase in accounts payable is mainly due to the increase in equipment payment before the payment date.

Overall, the total accounts payable of 14 companies at the beginning of the year was 2.897 billion yuan, and by the end of the first half of this year, this figure had increased to 3.343 billion yuan, an increase of 15.40%.

Analysts pointed out that although, generally speaking, the corresponding receivables and payables will increase correspondingly after the scale of an enterprise becomes larger, if both of these data show a large increase, or the proportion of receivables in operating income is too large, we should be particularly alert to the problem of triangular debts in the industry.

The ups and downs of online writing | In 2008-2009, the online writing circle developed from hegemony to stability.

[Editor’s Note]The concept of online literature has grown from scratch, and the living environment has changed from being attached to forums to industrialization, but it has only been 20 years. The author of this article, Jin Maniu, is an online author. He started writing for seven years in 2009, and combed the ten-year online literature events he experienced from the perspective of a writer.

Every two years, from Tianying in 2004, 17K in 2006, to 2008, the online literary world ushered in a vertical and horizontal.

Relying on the perfect time and space, which is not inferior to Shanda’s capital, the trend of adapting online games by IP was born. At that time, no one knew what impact it would have on the overlord of the starting point …

In September 2008, the Chinese online line was vertical and horizontal.

"At the beginning of the opening of the Chinese website, dozens of famous online writers, such as Jiangnan, where is it now, Xiao Ding, Hong Xue, Tang Jiasan Shao, Yan Leisheng, Ma Boyong, Wandering Saber, Alcoholic, Ayue, Bucket Rider, Chu Xidao, Bandit I miss my life, White rice is like frost, Yueguan, Jingguan and so on, sent joint congratulations, during which great works were more like Ganges sand, and many magazines and portals were in the planning stage of the website.

Of course, the above are all idioms in the encyclopedia "Vertical and Horizontal Chinese Network".

The so-called joint congratulations are similar to the popular "congratulations from the people of Shandong" and "congratulations from the people of Hunan" at that time … As for the "great works" such as the sand in the Ganges River, it is even more popular.

At that time, the vertical and horizontal Chinese network was far from reaching the level of "starting opponent", let alone "powerful" …

Actually.

In 2008, even in 2009, it doesn’t belong to the vertical and horizontal.

If in 2007, the online community still had expectations for 17K, since 2008, 17K has been unable to launch an impact on the hegemony of the starting point, focusing on the second camp. In the next year or two, the online bookstore changed from a "hegemony" pattern to a stable development pattern.

Although the website of Vertical and Horizontal Chinese has been established in September 2008, during the two years from 2008 to 2009, the vertical and horizontal Chinese website did not set off too much waves in the online world. Originally, in the past two years, I’m going to mention some events worth recording, but I still need to mention them.

The confusing "Sima Incident"

In 2008, the biggest event in the online world was "Sima Incident", also known as "Sima Gate".

Sima: A well-known starting point, with works such as Living Colors Arouse Fragrance, Unifying the Three Kingdoms, and Teaching Assistant of Beauty Class.

According to the information provided by himself, he graduated from Beijing University of Political Science and Law with a bachelor’s degree and a master’s degree in directing from Beijing Film Academy. He has a beautiful girlfriend named Xiao Lei who graduated from acting department. (Author’s Note: However, Fang Hai is not found in the graduation list of Beiying. And 83 years later, there was no such name as Beijing University of Political Science and Law, and it was changed to China University of Political Science and Law. )

On May 12, 2008, after the Wenchuan earthquake, he claimed to go to Sichuan for disaster relief, which was later proved to be a lie.

After self-explosion, he suffered from uremia. But it is still questioned by netizens. In September 2009, Qidian published an obituary provided by Sima’s mother, claiming that Sima died on August 31, 2008 due to illness and treatment. Based on the fact that Sima has passed away, if we make an evaluation of the Sima incident, I am afraid there is only one sentence: hateful people must have pity.

The following is a brief account of the "Sima Incident".

On May 17th, 2008, Sima Yu published the foreign chapter "Pour me a heroic bar! ",claiming to drive six carts and two buses with more than a dozen friends and go to Sichuan for disaster relief.

On the 18th, Sima went to QQ and was discovered by book lovers. The IP address was not in Sichuan, but in Fujian. So I questioned it in the book review area. Sima’s friend’s wandering saber (author’s note: Sima once published a message about a girl suffering from cancer, and Saber donated thousands) called Sima, and Sima’s mother answered the phone twice several hours apart, indicating that she helped to contact Sima, but it was fruitless. When the wandering saber calls again at night, turn it off.

This caused the wandering saber to wonder if Sima was at Fujian’s mother’s place and deliberately didn’t answer the phone.

So the wandering saber called several friends in Chengdu and asked them to look for Sima in the place where Sima claimed to be, but there was no result.

Later, some netizens asked Sima to issue a high-speed bill to Sichuan, but there was no result.

So many netizens denounced Sima.

On May 23rd, under pressure, Sima announced that he was suffering from uremia. And said that he is indeed in Chengdu.

However, this announcement was questioned by netizens. Some netizens contacted friends in the hospital to prove that Sima said that the hospital did not treat Sima. After Sima provided photos of his hospitalization.

However, Sima has completely lost the trust of almost everyone on the Internet, and the wandering saber and other former friends have broken up.

Later, the Sima incident came to an end.

(Author’s Note: I am hesitant and hesitant to write down the above Sima incident. To tell the truth, I still doubt Sima. But in any case, the obituary came out, and I still wrote the Sima incident on the premise that the dust has settled. I also hope that everyone can see the above records of the Sima incident, try not to discuss it again, and let it settle down. )

Ten-year inventory activity of network literature

"From October 29, 2008 to June 25, 2009, under the guidance of the Chinese Writers Association, the 17K website of Chinese Online and Selected Novels jointly hosted the ten-year online literature review activity. This is a grand carnival in the field of online writing since the birth of online writing in 1998. More than 1,700 online works (mainly novels) have participated in or been nominated for selection. The main force of network originality collided with the mainstream literary media, which became the biggest literary event in China literary circle in 2008-2009.

The ten-year inventory activity has built a bridge for the communication between traditional literature and online literature, and it is a milestone event in the development history of online literature in China and even in China. This is the first time that mainstream literature has affirmed online literature, and online literature has since formally entered the stage of China literature. "The above is a brief introduction to this activity in the encyclopedia.

In fact, although the 10-year inventory is a grand activity sweeping the whole online literary world, the entries and the final top ten works also include online novels of various websites, but both the process and the result can’t get rid of the shackles of 17K self-entertainment. In addition, focusing on literary and traditional inventory can’t really objectively show the ten years of online literature development. Traditional literature may have begun to touch online literature, but it has not let go of its arrogance and prejudice.

But we can’t say that the ten-year inventory is a farce, nor can we say that it is a self-promotion after 17K missed the road to hegemony. At least, it was a brave attempt. Even now, as of 16 years, this is an unprecedented attempt. Because after this inventory, the list and inventory of major websites in later generations are more exclusive and more "entertaining" …

The following is the final list of ten-year inventory:

Top Ten Excellent Works: Teenagers Here, Chengdu, Please Forget Me Tonight, New Song, Stealing Ming, Wei Shuaiwang’s Jianghu, Fate of Dust, Home, Zichuan, Homelessness and Facebook.

Top Ten Popular Works: Dust Destiny, Zichuan, Wei Shuaiwang’s Jianghu, Blasphemy, Strange Tales of Urban Demons, Returning to the Ming Dynasty as a Prince, Home, Wu Song, The Legend of Wukong, Lonely Master.

Dream into a trance VS I eat tomatoes.

If we want to choose an annual novel at the starting point or even in the online world in 2009, Sanshao’s Douluo Mainland definitely deserves its name. We can say that Douro is the peak of Sanshao, the largest IP of Sanshao, and even a representative work that Sanshao has established the supreme position.

However, in 2009, the annual drama did not belong to Sanshao, but to two other works of Super God:

Dream into the machine "Yang Shen", I eat tomatoes "Jiu Ding Ji".

Yang Shen was released on July 27, 2009, and it was a dream. With the momentum of The Romance of the Dragon and the Snake, it was determined to forge ahead, showing us a grand and fantastic fantasy world.

The Jiu Ding Ji was released on July 28th, 2009. I ate tomatoes, relied on the inside information of Star Change and Panlong, and came to the King’s Landing again in the highest name, writing my dreams. Since the release of the two works, they have been playing against each other.

I started eating tomatoes with Inch Mang, and the electronic subscription has repeatedly broken records. There is no need to say more about the strength of Star Change and Panlong. It can even be said that among the "three highest", I ate tomatoes and was the first to be crowned the highest god. Tang Jiasan was also crowned supreme after Dou Luo, and Li Hu was the highest when Dou Break the Sky was invincible.

Compared with my eating tomatoes, the dream-entrancing machine is inferior in e-subscription, but in terms of influence, it is not too much: the founder of Buddhism is the Tao, the leader of martial arts in Dragon and Snake Romance, and the edge of dream-entrancing machine is unmatched! Since the release of Yang Shen and Jiu Ding Ji, these two books have occupied the top two places in the list, except for two works, even Dou Luo, which is better than Tang Jiasan, had to avoid the edge at that time.

This confrontation can be said to be a deliberate arrangement of the starting point. It can also be said that it is a fate confrontation.

"Yang Shen" is like a dream, sharp, amazing and magnificent. Dream into the machine "Buddha is the Tao" is a seal of god, with sharp edges and amazing momentum, which shocked everyone’s eyes. Later, The Old Demon of Montenegro and The Romance of the Dragon and Snake also gave people a feeling of hanging upside down like a knife.

Jiu Ding Ji is just like eating tomatoes. It seems tepid, but it also has strong strength. I ate tomatoes from The Legend of Star Peak to Inch Mans to Star Change, which rose steadily, and my writing style was relatively smooth and gentle. Compared with Yang Shen, Jiu Ding Ji is not mysterious and amazing, and even can only be defined as "high martial arts" in the end, but it is equally fascinating under the style of eating tomatoes, and it can achieve no less subscription results.

In the early days, the two books were evenly matched, and each was good at winning. On the ultimate battlefield monthly ticket list, there are also winners and losers.

Until the end of 2009, in the first half of 10 years, "Yang Shen" ranked first in the world with a monthly ticket of eight consecutive championships, and "Jiu Ding Ji" ended prematurely in April of 10 years after losing several times in a row. It is three months earlier than Yang Shen, and the number of words is also 1 million less. It seems that this battle, tomatoes, I eat tomatoes, became a temporary loser.

The time is temporarily transferred to November 8, 2010, when the dream machine has joined the Chinese website. On this day, The Legend of Immortal Immortality, which started with the great god forgetting his words, achieved the goal of 100 leagues and had 100 champions (author’s note: champions generally refer to readers who spend 1000 yuan RMB in a book). The starting point is to change the total number of fans displayed in the link page of the fan list on the right side of the page from 100 to 200 (author’s note: it was later changed to 500, and the fan inquiry was completely released). At this time, some busybodies found that a large number of adjacent digital accounts appeared on the fan list of the old books "Buddha is the Tao" and "Montenegro Old Demon". When The Buddha Is the Tao and The Old Demon of Montenegro were serialized, there was no fan list at the starting point, and the subscribers had no fan value. These digital fan subscribers obviously appeared later. As a result, people questioned the dream-entrancing machine, thinking that the dream-entrancing machine built a large number of trumpets, obtained monthly tickets by subscribing to old books, and voted for Yang Shen, which made Yang Shen beat Jiu Ding Ji and achieved eight consecutive championships.

There seems to be a layer of dirt on the dazzling body of Yang Shen.

Author’s comment: When Yang Shen comes out, who will compete with him? When the magic machine comes out, who will compete with it? In fact, I have been thinking about it for a long time, and I am reluctant to use the word "who is fighting with the front", because it will expose the scarcity of my vocabulary and my LOW. But I have to say that when it comes to magic, I can’t avoid the word "edge". Yang Shen can’t be said to be perfect. Up to now, there are still many book lovers who criticize the decline in the quality of Yang Shen in the middle and late stages, and the achievements of Yang Shen can’t be said to be impeccable. However, no one can deny the amazing nature of Yang Shen and the talent of dreaming. It is no exaggeration to say that "Yang Shen" has established the status of the top five gods in dreaming. Even if we make an inventory of the whole online history, it is difficult to fall out of the top five, relying on a "Yang Shen" and a "Buddha Ben".

"Jiu Ding Ji" is the low point of tomatoes, not the data such as ordering, but the influence. There were Star Change and Panlong before, then Swallow the Starry Sky and The Age of Wilderness. The influence of Jiu Ding Ji is far less than these four. Of course, Jiu Ding Ji is limited by the theme and length. Compared with the fantastic fantasy world of Yang Shen, Jiu Ding Ji can only be regarded as "martial arts". Anyway, I eat tomatoes, and the influence is hard to dream about in the turn of 2009-10.

However, when we open Jiu Ding Ji, we will find that it has more than 50 million hits (author’s note: it broke 50 million during the serialization period) and nearly 4 million recommended votes. When I was writing "Swallowing the Starry Sky" while eating tomatoes, it was reported that The Jiu Ding Ji had a high order of 40,000, and even broke the record of Panlong in some aspects. This allows us to see the elegance of PC e-subscription. Even if it is a trough, it is enough to shock the pack. In any case, the dispute between "Yang Shen" and "Jiu Ding Ji" is almost the most dazzling confrontation in the history of online writing. Its significance and exposed problems:

1. Establish the status of a super-top god in the dream machine.

2. It shows the prosperous charm of dominating the world at that time.

3. Exposed the problems of brushing tickets at the starting point, even conniving at brushing tickets. In the following five years or even longer, brushing has become the starting point of stubborn tinea.

4, dream into god machine after the "Yang Shen" run away, began to expose the starting point of prosperity under the scar …

8.8 points tvb’s new drama "Hong Kong Love Story", can the "Northbound" Hong Kong drama return to its peak?

In Chinese’s traditional concept, "house" is a very important existence for most families, and marriage, old-age care and child-rearing all need a relatively stable place to live. butIn Hong Kong, where land is scarce and gold is scarce, the present situation of a large population has long been a realistic problem faced by most Hong Kong people.And the "public housing" under the tight environment? Terms such as "tāng" and other places of residence unique to Hong Kong have gradually become familiar to mainland audiences through film and television works.

 Source: Network

The Love Story of Hong Kong, broadcast by Jade Channel at 22:30 every Monday to Friday night from December 7, was praised for its "truth", story telling method and drama structure close to Hong Kong people’s lives.A core topic element of this drama is the housing problem of Hong Kong people.This 12-episode short play, which is not in prime time, is not only lively in rhythm, but also slightly broad in scale. It tells some "sexual intercourse" closely related to "affairs" and "sex", but also highlights the deeper realistic conflict behind these instinctive needs.

Not all Hong Kong people live in elite tvb dramas everywhere, as the public information says, "At present, half of Hong Kong residents live in public housing". Although there are many film and television works depicting the living environment of Hong Kong residents, the film and television content that faces the real problems in people’s lives will always be welcomed by the public.

As of writing,This tvb drama, which has not been purchased and broadcast through any mainstream video website in mainland China, has already scored 8.8 points on Douban.And because of its full "Hong Kong flavor", it was praised by the audience as the light of tvb drama in 2020.

Humor tells the reality of Hong Kong,The charm of grounded tvb drama reappears.

 

Do couples have to "wait for each other" when opening a house? In fact, you can also order a "pass" from the "yellow cattle" at a higher price.

"Hong Kong Love Story" begins with such an absurd situation that a pair of loving couples with stable feelings are rushing around to solve the suffering of lovesickness. The man wanted to propose to his girlfriend on the seventh anniversary, but something happened temporarily, so he had to find another place with his "prepared" girlfriend. Helpless, the "waiting time" was too long, and the male owner finally bought the pass from the "yellow cattle" at a higher price. However, because it was an hourly room, they were knocked at the door to remind them that it was time before they had fun. In the end, the young people who were still displaced at the age of 30 still failed to "get things done."

Hong Kong’s real estate industry rose very early, and regardless of social phenomena such as polarization between the rich and the poor and class solidification, it is even more difficult to only discuss that young people without housing want to buy a property on their own. Chen Zilang, the man in Hong Kong Love Story, is also looking forward to giving his beloved girlfriend a home. However, he is really trapped in reality, and even the anniversary makes his girlfriend angry. Later, Chen Zilang took out a ring on the crowded bus and promised that she would give her a warm home. Not surprisingly, his girlfriend, who loved him deeply, promised him in tears.

The sweetness of love cannot match the cruelty of reality.The public housing area where the man lives is small, and the grown-up children live above the cabinet on one side of the entrance hall wall, and only the father and mother who are not harmonious with each other are squeezed into a bedroom of several square meters. The father, who is deeply rooted in male chauvinism, has made his mother accustomed to it for many years. The behavior of scolding loudly at every turn scared his wife to be angry but didn’t dare to make a sound. It was not until her 60th birthday that the children’s mother gave her a gift: divorce and applying for public housing.

The depression brought by a family of five living in a humble abode broke out, and the long-standing trivial and contradictory conflicts were mainly caused by the impact of real life and the escalation of contradictions caused by insufficient living space, except that the father who earned money to support his family was indeed a male chauvinist.

Ironically, under the same roof, the inconsiderate old man’s bad habits of urinating, farting and throwing peanut shells everywhere are unbearable, but the clerk of the notary office needs the parents to prove the separation before he can continue the divorce procedure. My mother, determined to pursue a new life, finally decided to live in the original "closet bed" for her daughter who left home. Even if she sat face to face at a small dining table with the old man, she would never cook for him … In Hong Kong Love Story,Some people can’t get married because of the house, and others can’t get married because of the house.In this regard, the characters in the play officially "spit": in this way, marriage is more like an accessory to the house.

Life is hard, and you can’t be idle for a day.

If we look at the emotional life of the man’s family separately, we can see the differences in the choice of emotional objects, emotional models and lifestyles of Hong Kong people of different identities and ages. butIf we observe it vertically, we can get a glimpse of the marriage and love status of ordinary Hong Kong people in different stages of their lives. At this point, the strong social representation of "Hong Kong Love Story" is described in a general form in the play.

Although the expression of Hong Kong Love Story is humorous, it does not delay the further thinking value of uncovering real problems.It is worth mentioning that this TV series has not been broadcast in mainland China, and it is a tvb drama that must be all-ending. However, this drama, which can only be watched by vip on "burying piles", has also caused many mainland audiences to think about "house", "love" and "marriage".

Hong Kong dramas with insufficient "capital",Can you change your destiny by "going north to marry"?

 

In recent years, "the decline of Hong Kong opera" seems to be an indisputable fact.However, there are still a steady stream of Hong Kong dramas in the stalls where actors are lost and young and yellow. However, on the day when Hong Kong dramas can’t compete with big productions and big stars, they choose a "track" that is easier to make achievements-boutique short plays. After all, many "small and beautiful" Hong Kong dramas can take another chance with good stories. At the same time, "Going North" co-produced new works with mainstream video websites, which became an important choice for Hong Kong dramas to "change their lives".

Unlike Hong Kong Love Story, which was born and broadcast in Hong Kong,In recent years, a number of Hong Kong and Mainland co-produced film and television works have been registered on mainstream video websites in the Mainland.The form of "co-production" is becoming more and more common, and the former "Hong Kong dramas" have become the guests of various video websites, and most of them come out in the form of "super online dramas".

Tencent Video "The Apostles 2"

With the rise of the entertainment industry in mainland China and the change of the entertainment industry in Hong Kong, mainland audiences are no longer satisfied with the content quality of the original Hong Kong dramas. During this period, the progress of internet technology and the content output by video websites also seized the living space of Hong Kong drama in terms of content volume.

There are fewer people watching Hong Kong dramas.

However, if the mainland Internet platform wants to retain more users, it needs more high-quality content. Producers of Hong Kong dramas also need stronger financial support to ensure the sustainable development of Hong Kong dramas. Therefore, simply buying films from Hong Kong and putting them on video websites can no longer meet the needs of video websites. Hong Kong drama producers and mainland mainstream video websites "co-produce" online dramas in a win-win way, which has become a "new model" that conforms to the development of the times and the needs of users.

"Half-breed" looks better.With capital support and content filling, most of the Hong Kong dramas after the "Northern Marriage" are "radiant".This year, the Bridge of Sighs, which is 100% invested by Youku and painted by Douban with a score of 9.0, is a landmark "Hong Kong drama wholly owned by the Mainland". This 15-episode short play, with the help of mainland capital, tries to tell Hong Kong-style stories in a more novel way, bringing a more novel experience to the audience who originally loved Hong Kong drama. This work has the dual genes of Internet and Hong Kong drama.

In addition, The Blind Man’s Lawyer and Creation Again, which were jointly produced by iQiyi and TVB, and The Apostle 2, The Palace Plan 2, The Heart Storm 3 and The Iron Detective, which were jointly produced by Tencent Video and TVB, are all evidences of the northward movement of Hong Kong dramas. In the 2021 film list released by Youku, in addition to the purchased Hong Kong dramas, the dramas such as Wooden Spine Witness and Criminal Investigation Diary in the "Hong Kong Theater" film list are also produced in cooperation with TVB.

If we compare the growth and change of Hong Kong drama in the mainland to the stage of monster transformation. Then, since 2013, Youku has exclusively harvested the copyright of TVB genuine high-quality content, and it is the "first transformation" to transfer Hong Kong dramas from TV to the Internet; In 2018, Youku, TVB and TVBC jointly launched the "Global Synchronous Drama Series", realizing the simultaneous broadcast of TVB dramas in mainland China and Hong Kong is the "second transformation"; In 2020, the appearance of the wholly-owned Hong Kong drama Bridge of Sighs in the Mainland promoted the new pace of the development of Hong Kong drama in the Mainland and completed the "third transformation" with higher value.

However, in order to maintain the charm of "Hong Kong drama" in the mainland market and keep pace with the times to meet the new needs of Internet viewers, the "super online drama" from Hong Kong has a long way to go. The core competitiveness of Hong Kong drama in the Mainland is not a huge production, and the well-known Hong Kong stars scattered all over the world can’t become the core influence to attract the audience of Hong Kong drama.Whenever, high-quality content itself is the trump card with the most core competitiveness.

This is the case with Hong Kong drama, and so is the "Hong Kong drama" after the "Northern Marriage".

The GDP data of 31 provinces have been released one after another, and high quality has developed into a hot word for local development.

  On January 18th, the National Bureau of Statistics released the 2017 China Economic Annual Report: GDP broke through 80 trillion yuan for the first time, with a growth rate of 6.9%, achieving the first recovery since 2010. In the past ten days, 31 provinces in China have also released their economic data for the past year. Observing the data of various provinces, Guangdong, the No.1 scholar, and Jiangsu, the No.2 scholar, have joined hands to reach the level of 8 trillion GDP. From the perspective of growth rate, the western region of China has continued the momentum in 2016 and continued to lead. Objectively, these "subdivided" economic data make China’s annual economic report more "three-dimensional". In addition, with Tianjin and Inner Mongolia actively squeezing water, the GDP data of each province has become more "interesting".

  speed

  The GDP growth rate of central and western provinces is among the best.

  As we all know, if you draw a map of China according to the total GDP, it must be a scene of "high in the south and low in the north". The growth rate in 2017 also shows this trend.

  According to statistics, among the 31 provinces in China, only 8 provinces’ GDP growth rate last year was lower than the national GDP growth rate, including Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei and the three northeastern provinces. Among them, Tianjin’s GDP has the most obvious downward trend, only 3.6%, ranking last with Gansu Province.

  When it comes to Tianjin’s GDP, it occupied the hot spot of public opinion before half of January. However, the reason is not gratifying: Tianjin Binhai New Area adjusted its regional GDP to 665.4 billion yuan in 2016. After the adjustment, the regional GDP of Tianjin Binhai New Area decreased by about one third in 2016, with a year-on-year negative growth.

  Although the local statistics bureau of Tianjin said that changing the statistical caliber had no impact on the economic data, after objectively squeezing water, its economic growth rate dropped from 9% in 2016 to 3.6% in 2017.

  The Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, which is also a northern province, is similar to Tianjin. On January 3, at the Fifth Plenary Session of the Tenth Committee of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region and the Regional Economic Work Conference, the Party Committee of the Autonomous Region "exposed its dirty linen": the fiscal revenue of the autonomous region government was inflated and idling, and the added value of industrial enterprises above designated size in 2016 should be reduced by 290 billion yuan, and the regional GDP base in 2016 should be correspondingly reduced. Although the local statistics department also posted a statement in official website saying that the move would not have much impact on economic growth, the data showed that its growth rate in 2017 was 3.2 percentage points lower than the previous year, only 4%.

  On the other hand, Liaoning, which exposed the fraudulent economic data two years ago, ushered in a "turning over war" last year. The data shows that in 2017, the GDP growth rate of Liaoning Province was 4.2%, which turned from negative to positive, and the reversal rate was considerable, reaching 6.7 percentage points, which was the best result since "squeezing water" in 2015. The work report of Liaoning government points out: "Since 2011, there has been a trend change in the one-way decline of economic growth rate."

  Looking at the growth rate from the perspective of the whole country, most of the top provinces are still located in the central and western regions. According to the ranking of growth rate, Guizhou, Xizang and Yunnan won the top three, among which Guizhou and Xizang maintained a double-digit growth rate of 10.2% and 10% respectively.

  The eye-catching speed of the western region is inseparable from China’s "western development" strategy. Some experts have pointed out that compared with the east, the economic data base of the central and western regions is relatively small, and in recent years, they have undertaken a number of industrial transfers and been tilted by national policies. These factors will promote the economic development of the western region.

  amount

  Jiangsu and Shanghai achieved "integer breakthrough"

  In 2017, the national GDP reached 80 trillion steps for the first time. Specific to the provinces, Jiangsu also achieved a breakthrough in this year: it exceeded the 8 trillion mark for the first time, ranking second in the total GDP. In front of it, Guangdong is firmly in the top spot, approaching the 9 trillion mark.

  When it comes to absolute value, the western region is not "cheap" because of its small stock. The ranking of the top ten GDP has not actually changed from 2016, except for Guangdong and Jiangsu, followed by Shandong, Zhejiang, Henan, Sichuan, Hubei, Hebei, Hunan and Fujian.

  It is worth mentioning that there are three node provinces and cities located at the east and west ends of the Yangtze River Economic Belt: Sichuan, Chongqing and Shanghai.

  First of all, although Chongqing’s economic growth rate failed to maintain double digits last year, it still ranked fourth with 9.3%, and its momentum is still strong. In addition, its economic aggregate should not be underestimated. This year’s data has surpassed Tianjin and climbed to nearly 2 trillion.

  Looking at Sichuan again, the land of abundance achieved gratifying results in 2017, achieving both the total volume and the speed. When the economic aggregate ranked sixth, its growth rate rebounded by 0.4 percentage points from the previous year, and it entered the top ten growth rates with 8.1%.

  And Shanghai, where the Yangtze River empties into the sea, is not an economic center for nothing. Its economic aggregate followed Fujian Province and entered the 3 trillion yuan mark. Like Jiangsu, it achieved an integer breakthrough last year, becoming the first city in China to cross the 3 trillion threshold.

  Referring to the absolute value of economic data, the reporter of Beiqing Daily noticed that although it is common for provinces to "squeeze water" actively, there is no adjustment to China’s economic data. Then, will the false data in various places affect the economic data of China? Is the "80 trillion" mark mentioned at the beginning still credible?

  Ning Ji Zhe, director of the National Bureau of Statistics, replied that the falsification of local data does not affect the authenticity of China data.

  In this regard, Fan Ziying, a professor at Shanghai University of Finance and Economics, told the reporter that in simple terms, it can be understood that these two sets of data are currently counted by two classes of people. At present, the country’s accounting for GDP follows the principle of "grading accounting and managing the first level", and uses the four-level accounting of the country, province, city and county. "That is to say, national statistics, local statistics. Therefore, the reduction of local data will not affect the economic data of China. "

  At the press conference held by the National Bureau of Statistics on the 18th, Ning Ji Zhe once admitted that the total GDP of China provinces would always exceed the total GDP of China announced by the Bureau. The reason for this situation is also related to the accounting system. "Because of the different accounting systems, there will often be repeated accounting problems between provinces without removing input and output factors. In addition, some problems such as the inconsistency between the registered place of the production subject and the place where the production activity takes place will also cause repeated statistics of economic data. " Fan Ziying admits that in addition, it is impossible to rule out the possibility that local officials use administrative means to artificially interfere with data.

  quality

  There is no contradiction between high quality and high growth rate

  Standing on the point of summing up 2017, I can’t help looking forward to 2018. While China’s economic growth rebounded, the reporter found that almost all provinces in China lowered or maintained the preset economic growth target of last year.

  Among them, even in Guizhou and Xizang, which have maintained double-digit growth rate for five consecutive years, both provinces have set the target of "around 10%" in 2018, which is the lower limit of the double-digit growth rate. On the other hand, the target for 2017 is "more than 11%" in Xizang, but there is no word "left and right" in Guizhou.

  Investigating its internal reasons, the reporter found that "high-quality development" has become a high-frequency word at the recent two sessions in various provinces.

  Take Tianjin, a more typical city, as an example. Last year, its economic growth rate was at the bottom of the country, and the growth rate target for 2018 was also reduced the most: by 3 percentage points to 5%.

  Wu Junding, director of the Tianjin Municipal Bureau of Statistics, said frankly: "The decline in economic growth rate is first caused by the long-term accumulation of deep contradictions in Tianjin’s development." At the Tianjin Economic Work Conference held in early January, 2018 was defined as a historic window period. "For Tianjin, 2018 is a life-and-death year to realize the transformation from high-speed growth to high-quality development."

  The reporter noted that the report of the 19th National Congress proposed that China’s economy has shifted from a high-speed growth stage to a high-quality development stage, and with the supply-side structural reform that lasted for several years, all localities have already reflected the "pain" brought about by the structural adjustment process. The collision of several elements and expressions objectively gives people the impression that "high quality must reduce the growth rate".

  In this regard, Yang Zhiyong, a researcher at the Institute of Finance and Economics of China Academy of Social Sciences, seriously clarified to reporters: "High quality and high growth rate are by no means contradictory." When we are in a rough development stage, the demographic dividend and low technical threshold will lead to the development of some industries and projects that use resources for growth. So while paying attention to the quality of development, our industry has not been upgraded, and it is bound to lose some opportunities and projects. "But this doesn’t mean that high quality is the reason to hit the growth rate." In the interview, Yang Zhiyong took Shenzhen as a typical example to reporters.

  The data shows that Shenzhen, as one of the most dynamic cities in China, has a total GDP of over 2.2 trillion in 2017, with a growth rate of 8.8%. More notably, in 2017, the proportion of secondary and tertiary industries in Shenzhen reached 41.5: 58.4; The total social R&D investment exceeds 90 billion yuan, accounting for 4.1% of GDP; The actual use of foreign capital was US$ 7.4 billion, up by 10%.

  To measure the quality of economic development, a professor from the Department of Economics of the National School of Administration once summarized five characteristics: the contribution of the tertiary industry to economic growth increased significantly; The contribution of innovation to economic growth has increased significantly; The contribution of consumption to economic growth has increased significantly; Structural optimization; Inclusive and inclusive growth.

  Measured by the above standards, Shenzhen has undoubtedly achieved both growth rate and high quality.

  In fact, as the frontier of reform and opening-up, the proportion of young people in Shenzhen ranks first among cities in China, which has taken the lead in high quality. So, from a national perspective, has there been a typical case of labor pains and the quality has changed from low to high? The reporter found something special about Shanxi Province: among the 31 provinces, only one province in Shanxi raised its economic growth target in 2018 to 6.5%. As a former major energy province, its growth pace has become more and more "light".

  On January 23, Shanxi held a press conference on economic operation in 2017. It was pointed out at the meeting that the growth rate of 7% in 2017 was the first time since 2014 to enter a reasonable range. Shanxi, which is in a trough, also experienced a decline in economic growth in 2015. However, two years later, as a major energy province, the pace of high-end traditional industries in Shanxi Province has been accelerating in 2017, and the growth rate of industrial technological transformation investment has accelerated. "Non-coal industries have become the main driving force for industrial growth."

  Shanxi’s gratifying transformation seems to be a microcosm of China. Data show that in the past five years, the national R&D expenditure increased by more than 11% annually, and the contribution rate of scientific and technological progress increased from 52.2% to 57.5%. It is estimated that the contribution rate of new kinetic energy to economic growth exceeds 30%.

  According to Yang Zhiyong’s theory, high-quality development abandons the "overdraft" type of economic growth, so it is full of stamina. If the transformation and upgrading are realized after the pain, high quality and high growth rate will go hand in hand.

The "answer sheet industry" behind the exam has become the main tool for cheating.


Yang Daxin cartography


  Internet has become the main tool for cheating.


  With the approach of the entrance examination for postgraduate students in 2009, there are a lot of information on the Internet selling the answers to postgraduate entrance examinations. Enter any two of the keywords "postgraduate entrance examination, answer, postgraduate exam, and pass the exam" in the search engine, and you can easily see a large number of peddled posts.


  "It’s less than 40 days before the’ postgraduate exam’. There is no free lunch in the world. It’s very important to choose a good home. It’s not good to expect mixed answers! My price is slightly more expensive than that of my peers, but it’s worth it. You get what you pay for! "


  "Honesty and professionalism, caring service, and payment after the exam."


  "The latest equipment in 2009, anti-shielding, anti-‘electronic dog’, let you feel at ease."


  Among all the information, the author noticed three organizations selling answers —— "exam-aid alliance", "answer carrier" and "Zhongzheng Education and Training". The author wrote down their QQ and telephone numbers respectively, and talked with them as postgraduate students.


  As soon as I talked, the "answer carrier" urged the author to "speak quickly, the exam is coming soon, and I have been busy with a lot of business recently."


  "I’m preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination, but I’m not fully prepared. Can I get any help from you?" The author asked.


  "You can provide answers in English and politics, and both subjects can be guaranteed to be above 70 points."


  What is the concept of "over 70 points"?


  In the postgraduate examinations in recent years, the national re-examination scores for English are all around 45 points. Although some popular majors in famous universities have higher requirements for English, they are all far below 70 points.


  "English is guaranteed to be above 70 points", which is very attractive to most candidates.


  Postgraduate entrance examination, as an extremely important national unified examination, according to common sense, the examination paper management should be very strict, so where do the answers provided by the agencies selling answers come from?


  In the conversation with Yonghui Education, the author asked: Can you provide the answers before the exam?


  The answer is: "it’s impossible. If anyone has the correct answer before the exam, I’ll chop off my head and give it to you as a stool."


  The "Test Aid Alliance" also said, "This is no better than CET-4 and CET-6, and it is very difficult to get the answers before the postgraduate exam."


  It is very unlikely to get the test paper and answer before the exam. So where did the answer come from?


  The "answer carrier" asked the author to log in to his QQ space, saying, "Take a good look and everything will be clear after reading it."


  In the personal space of "Answer Aircraft Carrier", the author found a picture uploaded at 11: 29: 31 am on November 30, 2008, which was taken at the examination site. The content of the test paper "Administrative Ability Test" for civil servants in 2009 is from questions 111 to 115. Enlarge this picture and watch it clearly.


  The time when the photo was sent-11: 29: 31 am on November 30, 2008 shows that the photo was sent during the exam.


  Like the "answer carrier", many answer providers put some photos of the test papers on the website or QQ space to prove that they have the strength to get the test papers and provide effective answers. On the website of Zhongzheng Education and Training, the author saw six pictures of the operation of CET-4 and CET-6. In order to prove the shooting time, there was also a reference message on December 20 (the date of CET-4 and CET-6 in 2008). The middle position of the computer screen also showed that the shooting time was 10: 22: 44. At this time, the CET-4 in December 2008 was in progress.


  In the column of "Proof of Strength" of its website, the "Test Aid Alliance" posted photos of the test papers of more than 10 test items, such as "08 Notes, Justice, 08 Public English Level 3, College English Level 4, Professional Physician, PETS Public English, CPA Certified Public Accountant, local civil servant in the first half of 2008, and 08 Professional English Level 4".


  The website exposed the "answer in the exam" transmission.


  What kind of high technology does the seller of answers rely on to get the test paper out from under the eyes of the invigilator?


  According to the introduction of the "answer carrier" and a number of answer providers, the so-called "answer in the exam" mainly takes the following steps-


  First of all, people who are qualified to take the postgraduate exam are hired to take the exam. On the day of the exam, the employees bring miniature scanning instruments or pinhole cameras with wireless transmission function into the examination room, and after they get the test papers, they send them to the off-site through the above equipment. After the off-site people get the test papers, they immediately send them to the hired experts who do the questions, and the experts who do the questions send the answers to the transit people in the shortest time. The transit people then send the answers to the QQ group composed of candidates who buy the answers, and then wait on the computer.


  It can be seen that the internet plays an extremely important role in the process of cheating, whether it is pre-test propaganda or passing answers in the exam. Why do cheaters use the Internet to cheat so easily?


  The author interviewed internet society of china and 12321 Bad Information Reporting Center, but both units declined the interview. Mr. Zhong, who is in charge of publicity at the Internet Society, said, "The Society is only a non-governmental organization. I suggest you find other units." The 12321 Reporting Center said that "we only accept reports here, and nothing else will be accepted."


  Nowadays, you can still easily get a lot of information about selling answers through search engines, but the focus of selling has shifted from the postgraduate entrance examination to the upcoming local civil service examinations. For example, "Answer Aircraft Carrier" announced in its QQ space as early as a week before the postgraduate exam: the research exam is progressing smoothly and the Zhejiang civil service exam is being actively prepared.


  Cheating equipment is mostly produced by Shenzhen enterprises.


  Wireless cameras and pinhole cameras that send papers out of the examination room, wireless earphones that transmit answers, watches, pens, erasers that can display words, and professional transmitters … Where do these cheating tools with scientific and technological content come from?


  "The equipment I recommend to you is the new model in 2009. It is not an earphone or a pen, but a mechanical watch that can take pictures. On the surface, this kind of watch is no different from ordinary watches, and the information displayed on it can only be seen within half a meter from the watch screen. "Answer Aircraft Carrier" introduced the superior performance of this cheating watch to the author with great interest and sent a URL link through QQ.


  The introduction of all kinds of cheating devices on the webpage is extremely detailed, but there is no explanation for the company address, customer service phone number and email. The author entered the ICP number of this website into the website management system of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, and the query result was "No information found"-this website is illegal.


  According to the inquiry of the brand (SUNLIPS) of cheating watches provided by Answer Aircraft Carrier, we know that this mechanical information table is produced by Sanlipu (Hong Kong) Network Technology Co., Ltd., a network technology company registered in Hong Kong and produced in Shenzhen. The author called the marketing manager of the company, and when asked if he knew that the sales agents in various places sold the watch to the answer provider for cheating, the manager hastily hung up the phone without asking whether he could.


  In the follow-up unannounced visit to Yonghui Education, the author has continuous and in-depth contact with the answer buyer Mavericks (a pseudonym). The night before the postgraduate exam, Mavericks said that they had bought an information form for cheating at Yonghui Education. When I looked at the information table, I found a "instruction manual of SUNLIPS mechanical pointer information table". The calf said to the author, "This is the manual of the watch."


  In this year’s postgraduate examination, the "answer carrier" is not the only one who focuses on the mechanical information table. In contact with the "test-aid alliance", the "test-aid alliance" also believes that the safest equipment this year is the mechanical information table. "Many people tried it in the CET-4 and CET-6, and it generally reflected well."


  The mechanical information table recommended by the "Test Aid Alliance" is more advanced, and you need to wear special glasses to see the contents presented on the watch screen through infinite transmission. "The naked eye can only see the dial and the hands."


  After repeated inquiries by the author, the "Test Aid Alliance" revealed the brand of the mechanical information table-"Will Reiss". Upon inquiry, the "Welles" mechanical watch was produced by Shenzhen Welles Technology Development Co., Ltd. In the prominent position of the company’s website, there is a detailed introduction to the "photoelectric dense display pointer paging watch": "1. Anti-cheating gram, invisible earphone detector, electronic dog; 2, to prevent leaks, to prevent others from peeping, breaking the characteristics of traditional pagers that are not confidential enough. The first special glasses introduced from Germany Short photoelectric technology and matched with ordinary appearance in China can really be seen by me, even if others are around or facing the sun. Safety comes first in the information age; 3, the shield, this product adopts forward error correction, data interleaving access, adaptive equalization and other technologies, so that the shield has a very small impact on it … "


  Check out the display of products produced by Shenzhen Weireisi Technology Development Co., Ltd., including "photoelectric dense display pointer paging watch, transmitter antenna, 50W transmitter, glasses and ruler (when they are at a certain angle, you can observe infinitely transmitted words)". All the above products are cheating tools highly recommended by online vendors.


  Login to the "Enterprise Information Inquiry System" of Shenzhen Administration for Industry and Commerce failed to find the relevant information of Shenzhen Weireisi Technology Development Co., Ltd.. The person in charge of the company’s surname Liu said to the author on the phone: "You have no right to know whether the enterprise is registered in the Industrial and Commercial Bureau." And said angrily: "You and I have no grievances in the past and no enmity in recent days. I hope you don’t ask for trouble."

How did Henan Wushu Competition "wholesale" the national second-class athletes?

Editor’s note:

        In a (provincial) Wushu competition attended by middle school students, 800 people participated, and nearly 400 people were eligible to apply for national second-class athletes. What a paradoxical game will this be?

        The outside world questioned that "there must be something fishy", but the official insisted that "there is no fraud" and said that "(our) martial arts foundation is good."

        Is there more "martial arts masters" in Henan middle schools, or is there something fishy? As long as the "lid" of the game is lifted, you can see it clearly.

In Xinxiang No.1 Middle School, 67 candidates got extra points for sports this year, 64 of whom were "martial arts masters" and were questioned for fraud. 澎湃 trainee reporter Duan Yanchao

The list of "Henan Province 2013 Youth Traditional Wushu Championship", which was accused of fraud and "wholesale" national second-class athletes. 澎湃 trainee reporter Duan Yanchao

        Recently, the national second-class athletes’ sports extra points in the college entrance examination in Benxi City, Liaoning Province, were temporarily calmed down by 270 candidates in the province giving up their extra points. The "myth" that 74 candidates from Luohe High School in Henan Province got extra points in sports, accounting for 10% of the province, is still fermenting.

        The Henan Provincial Sports Bureau insists that the extra points are in line with the procedures and there is no violation of regulations.

        Oddly enough, a survey in The Paper (www.thepaper.cn) found that a total of 738 candidates in Henan won extra points in sports this year, and hundreds of them won the prize in the same competition "Henan Youth Traditional Wushu Championship 2013" and became second-class athletes, enjoying extra points.

        Earlier, Henan Wushu Sports Management Center told Xinhua that 800 athletes participated in the competition, resulting in nearly 400 second-class athletes. Some netizens questioned the "wholesale" second-level athletes.

        Why does this strange phenomenon occur? According to the investigation in The Paper, there is something fishy about the project setting and rules of the competition.

Relax the age of contestants.

        At noon on July 2, the gate of the old campus of Luohe High School was closed. The red banner of "Warmly congratulate Qi Huarui on winning the top prize of liberal arts in Henan College Entrance Examination in 2014 with a score of 665" stands out in the sultry air.

        Luohe High School, founded in 1948, has a history of 66 years.

        "(Qi Huarui) is unprecedented, and it is the first provincial champion in history." A retired old teacher of the school smacked his mouth and said. In line with the turmoil that Huarui was also involved in the school’s sports bonus points, the old teacher’s face sank and he stopped talking.

        According to Henan Admissions Examination Information Network, a total of 738 candidates in this province got extra points for sports this year.

        The Paper inquired about the athletes’ grades one by one through the inquiry system of the State Sports General Administration. According to rough statistics, there are about 200 candidates in the five cities of Luohe, Xinxiang, Zhengzhou, Kaifeng and Luoyang, all of whom won the prize in the "Henan Youth Traditional Wushu Championship in 2013" and became second-class athletes, enjoying extra points.

        According to public information, the organizer of the competition is Henan Sports Bureau, which is hosted by Henan Wushu Sports Management Center and Henan Institute of Science and Technology (note: located in Xinxiang), and the co-organizers are Xinxiang Wushu Association and Xinxiang No.1 Middle School. In previous years, the same competitions were held in Henan province.

        Why can a martial arts competition produce so many extra candidates?

        The competition rules issued by official website of Henan Wushu Association on May 30, 2013 show that the competition was held in Xinxiang City in July of that year, "adopting the Rules of Traditional Wushu Routine Competition (hereinafter referred to as" Rules ") approved by the Wushu Sports Management Center of the State Sports General Administration and the Chinese Wushu Association in August 2012".

        According to the Rules, the nature of competitions can be divided into adult competitions, youth competitions and children’s competitions according to age. In the competition age group, the juvenile group is 12-17 years old and the youth group is 18-39 years old.

        According to the competition regulations, the contestants were born after January 1, 1992 and before December 31, 1996, that is, they were between 16 years and 6 months and 21 years and 6 months when they participated in the competition.

        This is neither in line with the youth group defined by the Rules nor with the juvenile group. Just before the competition, the lower age limit of the contestants was relaxed again.

        On June 17, 2013, Henan Wushu Sports Management Center issued a supplementary notice: "In order to provide more opportunities for senior high school graduates to participate in the competition, the lower age limit for competition in Group A is relaxed to be born before December 31, 1997 with the approval of higher authorities (Editor’s note: the minimum age is 15 years and 6 months)".

        The notice also specifically stated that it was "limited to fresh graduates in 2014".

        Liu Zhe (not his real name), a teacher in a physical education institute of a university in Henan Province, said that students are studying early now, and some students in Grade Two and Grade Three are only fifteen or six years old, while the extra points for second-class athletes in the college entrance examination are only applicable to fresh graduates. It can be seen that the age limit for contestants is targeted.

Ingenious rules to increase awards: 800 participants, 980 awards.

        On July 6th, the competition order book and prize-winning roster provided by Xinxiang Sports Bureau showed that 64 teams and 800 athletes participated in the competition, divided into 200 groups, and finally 980 prizes were awarded.

        Most teams won a little more prizes than the athletes.

        Why is this strange phenomenon?

        According to the investigation in The Paper, it is mainly due to two provisions in the competition regulations. One: Each athlete must choose one boxing and one instrument in the same series at the same time (editor’s note: such as string punching knife and string punching), and those who report only one item will not be arranged. Two: More than 10 athletes in each group will be admitted to the top six, 8-10 will be admitted to the top five, 5-7 will be admitted to the top four, and less than 4 (including 4) will be admitted by subtracting one from the actual number of participants …

        The list of winners shows that most groups have less than 10 people, and there are many 6 people or less. The Paper noticed that in many groups, except for the top three, the scores of the others were all zero, so "no points will be given", but this did not prevent them from winning prizes.

        For example, six athletes from Xinxiang Wushu Association team all signed up for the women’s Taiping Boxing Group and Taiping Knife Beating Group. In Taiping Boxing Group, three athletes won the top three, while in Taiping Knife Beating Group, three other athletes won the top three, and all six won prizes. A similar situation is quite common.

        Earlier, in an interview with Xinhua News Agency, the Henan Wushu Sports Management Center introduced that the top three players in each group can apply for second-class athletes. In the end, nearly 400 people in the whole competition were qualified to apply for second-class athletes.

        In order to verify this figure, The Paper expressed his hope to take away the prize-winning roster and examine it carefully. Soon, the prize-winning roster was taken away by the staff of Xinxiang Sports Bureau and then stopped being interviewed.

        According to public information, the competition was held in Xinxiang No.1 Middle School Gymnasium. A total of 5 teams from Xinxiang participated in the competition, including 5 teams from Team 1 to Team 5 of Xinxiang Wushu Association and 120 athletes. Among them, 64 students from Xinxiang No.1 Middle School and its branch schools got extra points for participating in the competition (editor’s note: 67 candidates from this school got extra points for physical education), and 22 students from the middle school attached to Henan Normal University got extra points for participating in the competition (editor’s note: 25 candidates from this school got extra points for physical education).

        Many graduates of Xinxiang No.1 Middle School in 2014 said that only students with excellent grades are eligible to declare because of the limited number of extra points for practicing martial arts, including the best "Yanqing Class" in the third year of high school.

        There are about 50 students in this "Yanqing class", which is the top 50 in our school and branch schools.

        "Some students in the other two key science classes can choose to report, and only the top three in other classes are eligible to report." Student Zhu Lili (a pseudonym) said that she was not qualified. She heard that the registration fee was more than 10,000 yuan.

        "They practice for about half an hour every day between classes or breaks from the second semester of high school. After less than half a year of practice, they will participate in the competition, and then they will not practice." Zhu Lili thinks it’s cost-effective to buy 10 cents for more than 10,000 yuan, because it can leave a large number of opponents behind. "This bonus is unfair to us and should be cleaned up."

        Official website of Xinxiang No.1 Middle School showed that the school was in the top 15 in the college entrance examination this year, and 10 of them enjoyed extra points in sports, all of which were "martial arts". The Paper found that students from Luohe High School and the High School Attached to Henan Normal University who got extra points in this competition ranked the top in the college entrance examination.

"Tailored" entries

        In the local forum in Xinxiang, there is a net post entitled "Yan Zhiguo, Chairman of Xinxiang Wushu Association, deceives his superiors and deceives his subordinates to falsely report the story of making a fortune in traditional Wushu projects".

        According to the net post, in the 2013 Youth Traditional Wushu Championship in Henan Province, more than 100 athletes organized by Xinxiang Wushu Association reported that the events such as "stopping hand hammer boxing" and "Hei Hu Tongbei boxing (actually Hei Hu Tongbi boxing)" were very ingenious. "These kinds of boxing have never been heard of, and so many kinds of boxing have come out overnight."

        According to the net post, all these events were attended by athletes from five teams of Xinxiang Wushu Association.In the boxing and equipment competitions, six athletes participated in the competition, and all of them finally got the second-class athlete certificate.

        The poster also said that Yan Zhiguo took this opportunity to reach an agreement with the parents of the students in Xinxiang No.1 Middle School, Henan Normal University High School and surrounding colleges, and each student was charged an activity fee ranging from 13,000 yuan to 20,000 yuan to ensure that they passed the martial arts competition and obtained the second-class athlete certificate and added points. "The success rate is very high."

        The Paper combed and found that 64 candidates from Xinxiang No.1 Middle School and its branch schools who got extra points through the competition participated in various events, such as "string punching knife", "string punching fist", "Hei Hu Tongbi knife", "Hei Hu Tongbi fist", "Kunlun knife", "Kunlun fist", "stop punching knife" and "stop punching fist".

        Almost all the competitions in these groups are attended by athletes from Xinxiang Wushu Association.

        On the phone, Yan Zhiguo told The Paper that the net post was not true. It said that the selection, grouping and referee selection of competition events were all decided by Henan Provincial Sports Bureau and Henan Wushu Sports Management Center. Xinxiang Wushu Association, as the Wushu Association where the event was held, only did some logistics work, such as arranging hotels.

        Yan Zhiguo said that there are many schools of martial arts, and it is not possible to exclude a certain school from the competition just because the number of practitioners is small. Moreover, the selection procedure for the events of the 2013 Youth Traditional Wushu Championship in Henan Province is that the contestants first fill in the specific events of Wushu routines, and then stamp them at the local municipal sports bureau, and then send them to the Henan Provincial Sports Bureau, which will determine them according to factors such as the number of participants in each declared event, and the number will not be offered until the minimum number of applicants for the start of the competition.

        The Paper reporter called the propagandist of Henan Provincial Sports Bureau, who said he was in a meeting first, but didn’t answer the phone. Earlier, the Henan Wushu Sports Management Center told Xinhua that the extra points were in line with the procedures and there were no irregularities.

        Yan Zhiguo said that he, his family and Xinxiang Wushu Association have never received money directly from students or their parents, and have never reached an oral or written agreement with anyone to help them obtain the second-class athlete certificate. "Even if students have paid money for the competition, it is also a normal fee such as training fee paid to the school."

        In this regard, Li Zhong, assistant principal of Xinxiang No.1 Middle School, said that he did not understand the charges.

        The Paper noted that the competition order book showed that the director of the Organizing Committee was a deputy director of the Henan Provincial Sports Bureau, one of whom was a deputy mayor of Xinxiang City, and Yan Zhiguo was one of the two team leaders of the competition section.

        The staff of Xinxiang Sports Bureau Office said that they set up an investigation team for the relevant reports, but Xinxiang No.1 Middle School, Henan Normal University High School and other units did not cooperate and could not see the relevant person in charge.

        "We also have doubts." The staff member said that because the investigation has not yet ended, it cannot be qualitative.

Without clear technical indicators, Wushu has become a new "water injection point" for college entrance examination sports.

        Liu Zhe told The Paper that the sports department often used the promotion of traditional martial arts as an excuse, but the fact is that few students would practice martial arts unless they scored extra points for the college entrance examination.

        Liu Zhe believes that behind the "wholesale" of second-class athletes in individual Wushu competitions, the school needs candidates to sprint famous schools and the long-established interest chain. This impact is the fairness of the college entrance examination.

        This year, it should have been the "reform year" for China to comprehensively standardize the college entrance examination.

        In November 2010, the Ministry of Education, the State Sports General Administration and other departments jointly issued the "Notice on Adjusting Some College Entrance Examination Plus Items and Further Strengthening Management" to "slim down" the college entrance examination plus items. Among them, there are up to 10 sports bonus items, which are composed of 8 nationally recognized items (note: track and field, basketball, football, volleyball, table tennis, martial arts, swimming and badminton with high popularity and good exercise effect) and two optional items of provinces (cities).

        However, the adjustment policy "applies to students who entered the first year of senior high school in the autumn of 2011", which means the fresh graduates in 2014.

        This year, the sports bonus items in the college entrance examination in Henan Province have been reduced to eight nationally recognized items, compared with 27 in 2010 as reported by China Youth Daily and 30 in 2013 as reported by Henan Business Daily. However, according to online data, in 2010, there were 860 candidates who got extra points in college entrance examination in Henan Province, 864 in 2013 and 738 this year.

        It can be seen that the sports bonus project has been "greatly slimmed down", and the number of candidates who have won sports bonus points has not decreased correspondingly.

        In fact, after the announcement of the "reform" of the college entrance examination in 2010, there were voices questioning that there were two optional items in the "8+2" program, which should be more enjoyable. But even if you choose "8+0", there is still room for cutting, because martial arts events are difficult to judge. It’s not like running and high jumping, the results are clearly there. Although Wushu is the quintessence of the country and worth promoting, there is no clear technical index to judge it in the context of adding points to the college entrance examination. "Who can guarantee that it will not become a new’ water injection hole’?"

        I didn’t think about it, and I became a prophecy.

Read China for ten years | The scale of foreign trade has reached a new high and new breakthroughs have been continuously achieved.

  Since the beginning of this year, China’s foreign trade has withstood the pressure and shown strong resilience: in the first 11 months, the total import and export value of goods trade was 37.96 trillion yuan, achieving positive growth year-on-year for two consecutive months, and the stabilization trend continued to consolidate.

  As one of the "Troika" driving economic growth, foreign trade plays an important role in driving consumption, expanding employment and promoting economic growth.

  In 2018 and 2022, the scale of foreign trade has successively passed the 30 trillion yuan and 40 trillion yuan mark. Since 2017, it has maintained its position as the largest country in goods trade for six consecutive years, and the trade volume of goods with countries that jointly built the "Belt and Road" has increased by 8% annually & hellip; … Since the new era, China’s foreign trade development has continuously achieved new breakthroughs.

  "It is necessary to speed up the transition from a big trading country to a strong trading country, consolidate the traditional advantages of foreign trade, cultivate new competitive advantages, expand the development space of foreign trade and actively expand imports." On December 5, 2014, during the 19th collective study in the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee, the important exposition of the Supreme Leader General Secretary pointed out the direction for promoting the high-quality development of foreign trade.

  Since the new era, China’s position in global trade has improved significantly — —

  During the decade from 2013 to 2022, a series of data confirmed the solid pace of China’s foreign trade development: in 2020, the total trade in goods and services surpassed the United States for the first time and became the largest trading country in the world; The import and export scale of cross-border e-commerce in China has increased from 1 trillion yuan in 2018 to 2 trillion yuan in 2022, entering a period of rapid development; In 2022, the international market share of exports further increased to 14.7%, ranking first in the world for 14 consecutive years … …

  "The steadily expanding scale, continuously optimized structure and increasing international market share all confirm that the high-quality development of China’s foreign trade is fast and steady." Zhuang Rui, Executive Dean of university of international business and economics Institute of International Economics, said that China is advancing from a big trading country to a powerful trading country, which has provided strong support for stabilizing the macro-economic market.

  The quality and efficiency of China’s foreign trade have been continuously improved, and new kinetic energy has been continuously released — —

  The just-concluded Central Economic Work Conference clearly pointed out that it is necessary to speed up the cultivation of new kinetic energy of foreign trade, consolidate the basic disk of foreign trade and foreign capital, and expand intermediate trade, service trade, digital trade and cross-border e-commerce export.

  In recent years, the "new three kinds" represented by electric manned vehicles, solar cells and lithium batteries have become hot words in the field of foreign trade, and they are the representatives of accelerating the upgrading of foreign trade. In 2022, the export growth rate of China’s electric manned vehicles, solar cells, lithium batteries and other green and low-carbon products all exceeded 60%, and the new export kinetic energy grew rapidly.

  Since the new era, the vitality of China’s foreign trade entities has been effectively stimulated by accelerating reform and innovation, smoothing logistics channels, continuously optimizing the business environment at ports, and increasing support for small and medium-sized enterprises. In 2022, the number of foreign trade enterprises with import and export performance increased by 5.6% over the previous year. Among them, private enterprises gradually grew into the "main force" of foreign trade, accounting for more than half of the annual import and export scale for the first time, and contributing 80.8% to China’s foreign trade growth.

  China’s foreign trade "friend circle" has been further expanded — —

  In addition to maintaining close ties with traditional market trading partners, China is also actively exploring emerging markets such as ASEAN, Africa, Latin America and Central Asia. From 2013 to October 2023, the total import and export volume of China and the countries that jointly built the "Belt and Road" exceeded 21 trillion US dollars. Among them, in terms of RMB, China’s import and export to co-construction countries increased by 19.4% year-on-year in 2022, accounting for 32.9% of China’s total foreign trade value, up by 3.2 percentage points; Imports and exports to other member countries of the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (RCEP) increased by 7.5% year-on-year; Exports to Africa and Latin America increased by 14.8% and 14.1% respectively.

  Zhang Yu, director of the International Economic and Trade Research Office of the Institute of Finance and Economics of China Academy of Social Sciences, said that while adhering to a high level of opening up, the effective implementation of RCEP and the continuous expansion of the "Belt and Road" and "friends circle" have opened up new space for deepening foreign trade development. In addition, international economic and trade events including Service Trade Fair, Consumer Expo, Canton Fair and China International Import Expo(CIIE) have also opened new channels for foreign trade transformation and upgrading.

  At present, the external environment is turbulent, economic factors and non-economic factors are intertwined, and China’s foreign trade development still faces many difficulties and challenges. In response to this situation, China has continuously strengthened top-level design and continuously improved its foreign trade policy system.

  The General Office of the State Council has successively issued a series of important documents, such as Implementation Opinions on Promoting the Innovative Development of Foreign Trade, Opinions on Promoting the Stable Scale and Excellent Structure of Foreign Trade, and Several Measures on Accelerating the Integrated Development of Domestic and Foreign Trade, which further clarified the path and direction for cultivating new formats, building a platform system, deepening reform and opening up, and creating a legalized, international and convenient trade environment.

  Zhuang Rui said: China’s foreign trade and industrial fields are constantly advancing in system innovation, scientific and technological innovation, mode innovation and format innovation. Under this background, it is very important to deepen the domestic market and explore the international market to further improve the quality and efficiency of foreign trade. Facing the complicated and severe international situation, China should give full play to the positive role of foreign trade in building a new development pattern and bring more warmth and dividends to the world economy.

In 2023, the 800V high-voltage system was popular for new energy vehicles, aiming at charging time and energy consumption performance; In 2024, new energy vehicles will be popular with lidar, popular high-speed NOA and urban NOA, who will fight for a stronger algorithm and a higher opening rate of high-order intelligent driving. So that in the end, it is possible to spell out who has stronger neural network and faster learning ability, and who can make better NOA effect.

At least those new brands that we are familiar with have made some breakthroughs in the field of intelligent driving, but at present, there are lidar fusion sensing solutions and pure visual sensing solutions for intelligent driving in the market. These two schemes constitute all of the current advanced intelligent driving. Moreover, the high-order intelligent driving function includes the city/high-speed NOA function.

Then, is the NOA scheme for cities without lidar suitable for 2024?

Lidar will help you a lot.

If 2022 is the first year of laser radar mass production, and 2023 is the year when the loading capacity begins to take off, then 2024 can be said to be the first year of NOA (Urban Navigation Assistant Driving Function) landing. At present, companies in the industry, such as AITO, Huawei, Ideality and Tucki, have gradually opened their target cities, and the number of cities is more than one. The landing of NOA in cities has also brought about a derivative problem.

Lidar, is it important for the city NOA?

Before talking about this problem, we need to sort out what the functions of NOA in the city contain. In the early years, the addition of ACC adaptive cruise+lane keeping and other configurations made it easier for drivers to some extent, which was also the highest level of assisted driving function we could reach in that year.

On the other hand, now, the city NOA will realize the auxiliary driving functions from point A to point B according to the navigation guide, such as following the car, stopping, and merging; Turn left and right at the intersection, stop/travel according to the signal light; Automatic parking, parking and so on in the parking lot. To realize these functions, we need a series of powerful and accurate sensing hardware to improve it, besides the support of chips with high computing power.

The above is to make you understand that the situation faced by sensing hardware in urban NOA is very complicated and changeable. Compared with the working conditions of high-speed NOA, the difficulty faced by urban NOA is multiplied.

There are two kinds of re-sensing schemes at present. The first one mostly uses laser radar, but the second one, NOA scheme for cities with pure vision, is gradually increasing since the second half of 2023, such as Baidu Apollo City Driving Max, DJI Vehicle Platform -9V, Tesla FSD and Extreme Yue.

Talk about the underlying logic.

Visual perception is nothing more than using a camera as the main perception hardware, and the information it provides will have a large proportion of decision-making; The rest of the ultrasonic and millimeter wave radars have little sense of existence, but only assist the same existence in this system; Another core is the big model and learning ability behind it; Use the information collected by the camera to do 3D reconstruction, and then determine the object.

Lidar mainly relies on the point cloud of lidar to detect objects, and the speed of point cloud generation can be as high as hundreds of thousands of points per second, and the accuracy is the effect that it is difficult to achieve when the camera is converted into 3D modeling. If one laser radar is not enough for forward direction, it can also be used for 2 lateral and 1 backward direction, which can meet the detection coverage of 360 of the whole vehicle; Now, lidar also tends to be a big model, gradually abandoning the mode of high-precision map, which seems to be somewhat similar to the pure vision scheme, but the data accuracy that lidar can provide is far due to the pure vision scheme.

Don’t talk about the use of large-scale scenes, for example, in the quasi-L3 working condition of parking and berthing, the automatic parking function has very high accuracy for the data of surrounding objects. After adding the lateral lidar, the detection distance can be 0.05 meters. If we rely on visual scheme, lateral perception can only be supported by millimeter wave and ultrasonic radar.

Visual scheme, isn’t it working?

Visual perception is cheap, but its disadvantages are more prominent, such as insufficient detection of depth information and the construction of three-dimensional space, which are shortcomings and long-standing problems. But now a big model has been derived to make up for these two shortcomings. The cooperation between Extreme Vietnam and Baidu is the first in China to use OccupyNetwork technology.

And this technology, Tesla is also using.

The general meaning is to learn the function space and use the three-dimensional reconstruction method to show the three-dimensional space, and use the visual material+algorithm to achieve the effect similar to the laser point cloud. The function of this visual perception scheme is uncertain. For example, a Tesla Model Y crashed into a white semi-trailer truck at an intersection in southwest Detroit, USA. According to the accident report, the car started the Autopilot mode at the time of the incident, but the system AI algorithm identified the white truck compartment parked on the road as the sky.

As a result, the vehicle directly crashed into it without any braking behavior. This is the disadvantage of the vision scheme. Compared with the vision scheme, the lidar is similar to the "tactile" perception, which can detect the material of an object hundreds of meters away, without the problem that the white vehicle can be recognized as the sky by visual judgment.

Let’s just say that even Tesla has failed to come up with a particularly mature pure vision scheme. At this stage, it is more about making the algorithm of pure vision scheme better. It indirectly shows that this road is not easy and difficult, and it is really inappropriate to take this road if it is not for low cost. However, after Tesla updated the version of FSD V12 and moved out of the learning ability of neural network, some shortcomings of the pure vision scheme were alleviated, so that it no longer relied on pure data, but had a strong learning ability. In similar scenes, it can be commanded according to the learned processing methods of human drivers. It is relatively smooth in the actual measurement of the American domestic market and occasionally needs human to take over. For the current L2-level intelligent assisted driving, the ability is sufficient, but for the L3-level assisted driving scene, it is not yet.

On the ability level, driving is basically realized. For example, the effect of high-speed NOA function can be similar to that of lidar, and it can be used well as long as it is conservative enough. However, under the NOA working condition in the city, we are still gnawing at the difficulties of some big scenes, such as the scene of vehicles parked on the side of the road. The visual scheme can’t identify whether the car is dynamic or not. If the car suddenly starts, the visual judgment may still be static and the sensitivity is low.

Judging from the current pure visual perception scheme, there are two development orientations.

First, it will get through the intelligent driving scheme of vehicles below 200,000 yuan with the advantage of cost performance, but it is not suitable for urban NOA function, and more supports the realization of high-speed NOA function and accelerates the landing of low-level intelligent driving. Second, it can meet the needs of urban NOA and high-speed NOA, but the algorithm strategy will tend to be more conservative, and the overall use comfort is not as good as that with lidar.

The choice of some enterprises in the industry is more inclined to the first scheme.

In 2024, lidar will become the brand that most brands just need to configure, especially the brand that uses ADS high-order assisted driving provided by Huawei. There are also companies with firm lidar like Weilai and Ideality. Although Xpeng Motors is still conservative in the use of lidar (with pure vision, but hesitant), the current scheme is still based on lidar.

Not to deny the energy of the visual scheme, but we have to face up to its performance limitations. It is ok to be a city NOA, but Tesla is constantly improving the function of the city NOA under pure visual perception to make it better. After that, it is necessary to consider the different road habits of different cities in China, which will be extremely huge and cumbersome "learning pressure" for visual programs that rely more on algorithms.

Ask a few questions:

1. Is pure vision necessary when lidar is shot down by major manufacturers?

2. After the lidar was cheap, Tesla turned. Can the existing pure visual fans follow?

3. Limitations of visual perception. Without a strong neural network, is it not as easy to use as lidar?

In addition, it is very likely that Tesla FSD will land in the China market this year, and it will be tested in succession in 2023. In the end, the use effect of FSD may ultimately determine the direction of NOA scheme in cities with pure vision and lidar. Tesla FSD V12 came to China to face the first problem, and it is not a difficult problem to adapt in the domestic scene. It will be well realized in the short term. After the adaptation, it is a question whether we can use the scheme in the American market to get through the domestic city NOA and make the same effect. Secondly, it is another question whether the opening rate of NOA in Tesla FSD can equal the new forces of the current lidar scheme.

This year, the pure vision scheme led by Tesla and the lidar scheme chosen by a number of new forces may give a clear choice before the advanced intelligent driving faces L3.
