Since the beginning of this year, in the face of the complicated domestic and international economic situation, China’s foreign trade has withstood the pressure. In the first quarter, the total import and export volume reached 9.42 trillion yuan, up 10.7% year-on-year. The overall start was good, which laid a good foundation for achieving the annual target and fully reflected the resilience of foreign trade development.

We should also see that China’s foreign trade development environment is becoming more severe and complicated, and it faces many risks and challenges. A number of experts said that we should do a good job in stabilizing foreign trade policies, study effective new policies, and strive to keep foreign trade running in a reasonable range throughout the year.

Steady foreign trade policy continues to exert strength.

In the first quarter, despite the complicated and severe international environment, China’s export enterprises had a strong ability to adapt to changes in external demand. At the same time, the policy of stabilizing foreign trade continued to exert strength, and the effect of building the "Belt and Road" continued to emerge. The new foreign trade format developed rapidly and achieved a steady start on the whole.

"In the case of a high base, China’s foreign trade still maintains a double-digit rapid growth, which fully reflects the resilience of China’s foreign trade development." Liu Xiangdong, deputy director of the Economic Research Department of China International Economic Exchange Center, said.

Data show that in the first quarter, China’s industrial export delivery value increased by 14.4% year-on-year, and continued to maintain rapid growth. Among them, export delivery value’s automobile manufacturing industry and special equipment manufacturing industry both increased by more than 20%. "China has a complete industrial system and strong supporting capacity, which can quickly adapt to changes in international market demand, and foreign export demand for industrial products in China has expanded." Fu Linghui, director of the National Statistics Department of the National Bureau of Statistics, said.

After entering March, the local cluster epidemic situation in China showed the characteristics of multiple points, wide coverage and frequent occurrence, and the supply chain of foreign trade industry chain was affected to some extent. "At present, China’s foreign trade development is under great pressure." Bai Ming, deputy director of the International Market Research Institute of the Ministry of Commerce, said that on the one hand, the impact of the COVID-19 epidemic continues, the bottleneck of the global supply chain has not been alleviated, and the shortage of important raw materials such as chips continues to plague foreign trade enterprises; On the other hand, geopolitical risks are high, commodity prices are rising, and global economic and trade recovery is facing greater uncertainty.

China has issued a series of policy measures to help small and medium-sized foreign trade enterprises improve their production and business environment, and achieved certain results.

Regional cooperation is deepening.

On January 1st this year, the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (RCEP) came into effect for 10 member countries. Up to now, the number of effective members of RCEP has reached 12.

Since the entry into force of RCEP, dividends have begun to appear. Customs statistics show that in the first quarter, China’s total import and export value to the other 14 member countries of RCEP exceeded 2 trillion yuan, up 6.9% year-on-year, accounting for 30.4% of China’s total foreign trade value in the same period. Among them, the year-on-year growth rate of import and export volume with South Korea, Malaysia and other countries exceeded double digits.

Judging from local conditions, the effective implementation of RCEP has played a positive role in stabilizing foreign trade. Take Shandong as an example. In the first quarter, Jinan Customs, Qingdao Customs and Shandong CCPIT issued 24,000 RCEP certificates of origin, ranking first in the country. Shandong’s import and export volume to other 14 member countries of RCEP increased by 20.9% compared with the same period of last year.

According to statistics, in the first quarter, Chinese enterprises used RCEP to import 6.7 billion yuan and enjoy import tariff concessions of 130 million yuan; Enjoy the export of 37.1 billion yuan, and it is expected to enjoy the tariff preference of 250 million yuan from member countries.

At the same time, China’s circle of friends to build the "Belt and Road" continues to expand. Since the beginning of this year, China has signed cooperation documents with Nicaragua, Syria, Argentina and Malawi to jointly build the "Belt and Road". "Up to now, China has signed more than 200 cooperation documents with 149 countries and 32 international organizations to jointly build the Belt and Road." Meng Wei, deputy director of the Political Research Office of the National Development and Reform Commission, said.

China’s trade with countries along the "Belt and Road" has become increasingly close. In the first quarter, the import and export value of China and the countries along the Belt and Road accounted for 31.1% of China’s total foreign trade import and export value, which was 1.4 percentage points higher than that of 2021 and 6.1 percentage points higher than that of 2013.

As an important guarantee for interconnection on the "Belt and Road", the overall operation of China-Europe trains is stable and efficient, showing strong development resilience. In the first quarter, China-Europe trains operated a total of 3,630 trains and transported 350,000 TEUs, up by 7% and 9% respectively year-on-year, and the comprehensive heavy container rate was 97.7%. The monthly train volume remained above 1,000 trains for 23 consecutive months, effectively ensuring the stability of the international industrial chain supply chain.

Controlling the epidemic situation is the key to the steady growth of foreign trade

Since the beginning of this year, new changes have taken place in the characteristics of epidemic spread, but as long as we adhere to scientific epidemic prevention, we can gradually block the spread of epidemic and reduce the adverse impact on economic and social development. "If the epidemic situation in Shanghai and other places was effectively controlled in May, China’s foreign trade will continue to grow in the second quarter." Liu Xiangdong said.

"The pressure of foreign trade in the second quarter is not necessarily smaller than that in the first quarter, but the momentum of foreign trade development is still sufficient." Bai Ming believes that the long-term fundamentals of China’s economy have not changed, and the trend of sustained economic recovery has not changed. China’s industrial system is complete, infrastructure is constantly improving, the advantages of super-large-scale market are obvious, and the effectiveness of innovation-driven development is constantly emerging, which has a good foundation for promoting sustained and healthy economic development. "China’s policy toolbox for supporting foreign trade development is well stocked, and measures to stabilize foreign trade are put in place." Bai Ming said that the RCEP dividend is gradually released, and the trading partners tend to be diversified, which are favorable factors to support the steady growth of foreign trade. He also stressed that small and medium-sized foreign trade enterprises are under great pressure at present, so it is very important to stabilize market players.

"Since last year, China has implemented more active policies and measures to stabilize foreign trade and foreign investment, and has achieved remarkable results. In particular, under the premise of normalization of epidemic prevention and control, it has continued to expand trade channels, optimized trade structure, fostered the development of new trade formats, and effectively promoted the high-quality development of foreign trade." Liu Xiangdong said that in the next step, facing the new situation and challenges at home and abroad, it is necessary to comprehensively improve the pertinence of foreign trade development, focus on unblocking the supply chain of industrial chain and ensure the stability of industrial production. In view of the high fluctuation of international commodity prices, we will accelerate the diversification of supply channels. Support foreign trade enterprises to make full use of digital technology to develop new formats such as cross-border e-commerce and overseas warehouses, and effectively do a more precise job in stabilizing trade channels and markets.

"Although the international environment is complicated and severe, on the whole, the world economy is still recovering, and the demand for China’s export products will still increase. China’s export enterprises are also more capable of adapting to changes in external demand. " Fu Linghui said. (Reporter Feng Qiyu)

　　[Tracing the dispute over the hometown of celebrities]

　　Why Zhuji sent an urgent letter to Xiaoshan?

　　On February 15th and 16th, Shi Zhiban and Zhuji Municipal People’s Government of Zhejiang Province sent official letters to Zhejiang Local Records Office and Xiaoshan District Government, respectively, asking them to maintain the historical truth, and to cancel or change all the contents of Xiaoshan City Records’ false "hometown of Xi Shi".

　　What makes Zhuji people even more angry is that at the beginning of the new year in 2017, the relevant departments of Xiaoshan vigorously launched a slogan on Line 2 of Hangzhou Metro, the provincial capital: Millennium ancient town, hometown of Xi Shi, vibrant Linpu! Zhuji thinks this is a real false advertisement.

　　"On the evening of August 21st, 1959, when Chairman Mao Zedong passed Zhuji and met Sun Zifu, then secretary of Zhuji County Party Committee, on the special train, he said: Zhuji is a famous place, and beauty Xi Shi and painter Wang Mian are both here …" Comrades from the Propaganda Department of Zhuji Municipal Committee told reporters that they could not accept the "dispute over Xi Shi’s hometown" that began 30 years ago.

　　The reporter learned that in 2015, Xiaoshan City Records violated the Regulations on the Work of Local Records, and listed Xi Shi, an ancient man 2,500 years ago, as the number one biography of modern Xiaoshan City Records for the first time, and shouted for the first time that Xiaoshan was a place where Gou Jian was working hard. In 2016, Xiaoshan created a large-scale live-action musical "Xi Shi" and invited Tan Dun to invest 258 million yuan to sing "Xiaoshan is the hometown of Xi Shi".

　　This series of actions of Xiaoshan has made this debate heated up.

　　In 1986, Xiaoshan discovered that Mao Qiling, a scholar from Xiaoshan in the early Qing Dynasty, once quoted Liu Zhao’s annotation and wrote: "Yue Jue" said: Xiaoshan is the place where Xi Shi came from. " Wang Wei, a teacher in Xiaoshan, often published the article "Xi Shi came out of Xiaoshan", saying that "Xi Shi came out of Xiaoshan, which was first seen in the Book of the Later Han Dynasty". It is also believed that "Xi Shi was born in Zhuluo village in Yuedi (now Zhuluo village in Linpu, Xiaoshan)". "War" thus kicked off.

　　"According to historical records, the name of Xiaoshan County, which began in the Tianbao period of the Tang Dynasty, could not have appeared in Yue Jue Shu of the Han Dynasty. The Book of the Later Han Dynasty was written in Liu and Song Dynasties, more than 300 years earlier than the county name of Xiaoshan. According to Yuejueshu, there is no such text. It is not surprising that there are monuments of Xi Shi in Xiaoshan, because Xi Shi and Zheng Dan entered Wu from Vietnam, passing through Shaoxing, Xiaoshan, Deqing, Tongxiang, Jiashan, Huzhou, Suzhou and other places, and monuments commemorating Xi Shi appeared everywhere along the way, which some scholars call the’ Road of Xi Shi’. The’ historic site’ and’ hometown’ are completely different in nature, and the concepts cannot be exchanged to equate them. " Qi Caoliang, deputy director of Shi Zhiban, Zhuji City, told reporters that Zhuji and Shaoxing are the places where Gou Jian tried his best, and Huanjiang is in Zhuji. There has never been a Zhuluo village in Xiaoshan’s history. The present "Zhuluo Village" in Xiaoshan was formed by merging three natural villages in 2005. "Linpu has never belonged to Zhuji in history. Xiaoshan County was renamed from Yongxing in the first year of Tang Tianbao (742), and Linpu was called Linpuli as late as the Song Dynasty. "

　　Textual research on ten representative historical books at the national level and Shaoxing prefecture level before the Southern Song Dynasty, such as the Spring and Autumn Annals of Wuyue in the Eastern Han Dynasty (Xu Tianqiu’s annotation), the Records of Huiji in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the Records of Ten Roads in the Tang Dynasty, the Notes of Taiping Yu in the Northern Song Dynasty, the Records of Jiatai Huiji in the Southern Song Dynasty and Fangyu.

　　Records of Zhuji County, which were officially edited by Zhuji officials, all have biographies and historical records of Xi Shi and Zheng Dan. There are only three Records of Xi Shi of Zhu Xi, which were officially edited by Zhuji officials in Ming and Qing Dynasties, and also include poems written by Xi Shi and Zheng Dan led by Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of Ming Dynasty. The inheritance is orderly, and there are endless books.

　　Zhuji pointed out that Xi Shi was never mentioned as a native of Xiaoshan in the Records of Xiaoshan County compiled by Jiajing, Wanli, Kangxi and Qianlong in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and Xi Shi was not included in the biographies of county chronicles. Today’s "Xiaoshan City Records" has written Xi Shi, an ancient man more than 2,500 years ago, into a biography for the first time, which has neither inheritance nor historical basis.

　　This may be an argument that should not have happened.

　　This may be an argument that should not have happened.

　　Su Buqing, president of Fudan University, said: "The issue of Xi Shi’s birthplace has been recorded in history and verified by experts, which has long been conclusive. If you practice fraud, even if you get away with it for a while, it will be untenable in the future. "

　　In 2006, the State Council announced the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage lists, of which the tenth item was "Legend of Xi Shi" belonging to Zhuji City; In 2007, China Xishi Culture Research Center, a national regional cultural research center, was permanently located in Zhuji by the Ministry of Culture, which is a reaffirmation that Zhuji is the hometown of Xishi.

　　Successive Zhuji Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government have done a lot of work in protecting the historical relics and cultural imprint of Xi Shi, and building Xi Shi Dian, Xi Shi Gallery, Xi Shi’s hometown scenic spot and beautiful countryside Xi Shi landscape belt. The local organization commemorates Xi Shi’s Lotus Festival every year, and holds Xi Shi Cultural Festival every two years, inviting friends, rural sages and experts at home and abroad to offer public sacrifices to Xi Shi.

　　He Jianmin, director of the Tourism Management Department of Shanghai University of Finance and Economics, said with emotion: "The dispute over the hometown of celebrities is actually a struggle for an iconic, attractive and revealing cultural tourism resource, so as to enhance the visibility of the region in the whole country or the whole city. With influence, there will be customers, which can attract investment and bring income. "

　　On the morning of 23rd, the reporter sent a message to contact Wang Zhihua, the section chief of Xiaoshan Shi Zhiban, and planned to conduct an interview on several issues: Xiaoshan said that Xi Shi’s hometown was in Xiaoshan. What is the conclusive historical basis? In the past, there was no saying in Xiaoshan local chronicles that Xi Shi’s hometown was in Xiaoshan. Why did it come up later in the new local chronicles? What is the idea that Xiaoshan started the dispute over Xi Shi’s hometown?

　　After not getting a reply, at noon, the reporter called Shi Zhiban directly in Xiaoshan, hoping to introduce and state some relevant information about the questions raised by Zhuji. However, the comrades who answered the phone declined the interview on the grounds that it was an "academic debate".

　　The reporter did not give up the interview: "At present, the two places hold their own words, but the materials provided by Zhuji are more detailed, so I hope Xiaoshan can also provide some statements. Your refusal to interview is actually a statement. "

　　Five minutes later, the reporter received a phone call from Wang Zhihua and promised to provide a "Xiaoshan statement" to the reporter. He sent the reporter an email entitled "The history of Xi Shi’s hometown has not yet been settled".

　　How should the 30-year-old debate end?

　　According to the "Xiaoshan theory":

　　In the Southern Dynasties, Liang Liu Zhao placed a bet on the "Yu Ji" in the History of the Later Han Dynasty: "Yue Jue" said: the place where Xi Shi came from. "

　　In the Northern Song Dynasty, Ouyang Yi wrote a book titled "A Wide Record of the Land" (Volume 22) and "On the Road between Zhejiang and Xiaoshan", saying: "Xiaoshan County is Benyu County, and the Han Dynasty belongs to Huiji County. At the end of the Han Dynasty, a nursery rhyme said: The son of heaven should flourish between the three southeastern regions, so Sun Quan changed his name to Yongxing County, and Jin was promoted because of it. Sui Province entered Huiji County. Tang Yifeng was reinstated in two years, belonging to Yuezhou. The first year of Tianbao was renamed Xiaoshan County. ….. The Vietnamese beauty is from this county. "

　　Zhuji believes that Xiaoshan’s statement needs to be refuted. They asked the reporter to forward the two posts of "Twenty Evidence of Xiaoshan’s Fake Hometown of Xi Shi" and "Xiaoshan’s Fake Hometown of Xi Shi Dare not Touch Six High Voltage Lines" to Xiaoshan, and asked them to carefully see if they could reply to the defense. Zhuji pointed out that the book Yue Jue Shu is a pure fraud, and it is false to check the original book. Xi Shi’s hometown is an immovable geographical coordinate. No matter how the construction evolution changes, the nature of historical sites and hometown is completely different.

　　On the evening of 23rd, the reporter sent the above two posts to Xiaoshan by email, asking them to express their views, but as of 5pm on 24th, the reporter had not received any reply.

　　"All publicity related to Xi Shi’s hometown and related contents, especially official history books, should be based on the records of previous dynasties, and should be based on national authoritative history books such as Cihai, Encyclopedia of China and Atlas of Chinese History. Xi Shi’s culture can be shared, but Xi Shi’s hometown cannot be invaded. " Qi Caoliang told reporters.

　　A scholar who has been paying attention to this matter and witnessed the whole debate feels sad: "We should spend more energy on the excavation and arrangement of Xi Shi culture, instead of turning over the history to compete for the hometown of celebrities for no reason."

　　The phenomenon revealed and reflected behind the dispute over Xi Shi’s hometown involves a series of issues, such as how to inherit China’s excellent culture, how to respect history and culture, and how to be honest in academic research. Experts suggest that the relevant departments in Zhejiang Province take the lead in organizing a seminar on Xi Shi’s hometown to solve this difficult cultural and academic problem and let all parties provide historical evidence on the spot.

When it comes to Microsoft, Windows is definitely the first thing that comes to mind. As a top technology company that has been established for 46 years, Microsoft is actually doing what many software companies are doing every day — — Develop software.

So besides Windows, what other "giant hard artifacts" have Microsoft developed? The next article will give you a general overview.

Besides Windows, what other "giant hard artifacts" have Microsoft introduced?

1. Bing Wallpaper

Download: https://dl.pconline.com.cn/download/2746274.html

The dynamic wallpaper of MacOS is very enviable, but unfortunately … … Windows does not support it. However, a gadget called "Bing Wallpaper" can help us realize this dream.

The function of the software has been clearly displayed on the name. After installation, Bing’s daily wallpaper will be automatically downloaded and used as desktop wallpaper.

Bing Wallpaper can automatically update wallpaper every day.

Because the function is really simple, the software has not designed any function options. The only regret is that it doesn’t support 4K.

2. PowerToys

Download: https://docs.microsoft.com/zh-cn/windows/powertoys/

PowerToys is an official system enhancer produced by Microsoft, including color picker, screen splitter, keyboard mapper, batch image adjustment, batch renaming, quick search bar and other functional modules.

The idea of the software is not complicated, but it makes up for several aspects that have not been paid attention to in the current version of Win10. Among them, the quick search bar is the most concerned, not only because its appearance is similar to Spotlight of MacOS, but also because it can really improve the search usability of Windows to some extent.

In addition, if you are a "fish screen" user, its "FancyZones" can help you build a more flexible window arrangement layout.

And this will also improve the working efficiency of users on high-resolution displays to the greatest extent.

3. Microsoft Whiteboard

Download: https://www.microsoft.com/store/productId/9MSPC6MP8FM4

If you have a Win10 tablet or like to paint on the computer, then this Whiteboard should be your dish. As its name suggests, Whiteboard is actually a "whiteboard" in a computer.

Users can write, draw, mark and take notes at will in the "whiteboard" with the help of a mouse, stylus, etc. In addition to being creative, you can also use Win10′ s teleconferencing mechanism to communicate and discuss with colleagues and customers in the "whiteboard".

Because the content of Whiteboard is stored in the cloud in real time, users can have a good operating experience whether watching or discussing.

4. Sway

Website: https://sway.office.com/

Sway is a slide production website produced by Microsoft, but it doesn’t design many complicated functions and buttons like Powerpoint. Sway builds a presentation through story lines, which is very similar to the "outline" in Powerpoint.

Because it is an online application, the results generated by Sway can be played directly on the network, which makes it easier to share and spread.

However, Sway still supports the insertion of Bing search, OneDrive, local files and other resources, and its connection with Office is still very close. At the same time, slides can also be directly exported to Word, PDF and other formats, which is convenient for users to edit again.

Sway online slide production tool

5. To-Do

Download: https://www.microsoft.com/store/productId/9NBLGGH5R558

Microsoft To-Do is a tool launched by Microsoft, which supports Windows, Mac and Android. Different from Outlook professional task planning, To-Do is positioned as a lightweight task management tool.

You can set up different lists for homework, chores, travel and work, and manage your daily life in different categories.

In addition to multi-terminal synchronization and reminder, Microsoft To-Do also has daily list (My Day), task sharing and other functions, and you can log in directly with Microsoft account.

Lightweight task management tool To-Do

6. Office Lens

Download: https://dl.pconline.com.cn/download/369443.html

Generating paper files into electronic files is what we often call OCR. Office Lens is an OCR tool produced by Microsoft, which can quickly convert a paper document into an editable document.

The use of the software is very simple. First, take a photo of the document to be processed, and then select the saving mode as "OCR document", thus generating an electronic file.

Because OCR usually can’t achieve 100% recognition, Office Lens will paste the original image under each recognition result to facilitate user proofreading. In addition, the edge recognition of Office Lens is also very powerful, and the general file skew can be corrected automatically.

The recognition effect of Office Lens is good.

7. Microsoft AI knows the map

Download: WeChat applet

In addition to Office Lens, Microsoft also has a more powerful intelligent mapping tool, which is — — "Microsoft AI knows the map." However, unlike the APP form of Office Lens, "Microsoft AI Reading Map" is a WeChat applet.

Although they are all OCR recognition, "Microsoft AI recognizes pictures" is obviously more functional. In addition to the traditional character recognition, Microsoft AI has also added the functions of "changing words and saving pictures" (that is, modifying some words in the recognition results and saving them back in the picture), table restoration, English translation, PDF/PPT splicing and so on.

The most interesting thing is "Portrait Creation", which is similar to the dynamic template in Tik Tok or Photo APP. You can use your avatar to quickly generate personal profile, award-winning pictures, holiday wishes and other pictures. It sounds a little skinnier, right, but the playability is still good!

Write it at the end

In addition to the above, Microsoft has actually produced other gadgets. Although not every one is a boutique, with strong technical strength, most of them are still good in functional performance. In short, Windows is not the whole of Microsoft, and Microsoft is by no means the endorsement of Windows. If you are interested, please give it a try.

Special feature of 1905 film network It has been 2309 days since the film "Lonely Lost" was released. In the last two or three days, it has been mentioned again. And what caused all this is a very emotional good news — — The DNA comparison of Guo Gangtang’s son, the prototype of Lost Orphan, succeeded!

Speaking of the touch when I just saw this news, Miao Yao, the host of this issue, said with emotion: "There are two exclamation points in my heart. The first exclamation point was actually found, and the second exclamation point was finally found."

The word "finally" expresses our faint hope that Guo Gangtang will find his son because of his persistence. In 24 years, he traveled all over 31 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities in China and broke 10 motorcycles. Guo Gangtang’s persistence finally got the best answer.

In 2010, it was precisely because of Guo Gangtang’s insistence that director Peng Sanyuan saw the news of his search for children and paid attention to the abducted groups, and made the film "Lonely".

Wang Jian, a guest commentator of Today’s Film Review, said: "It is precisely because of the social reality reflected in this film that our whole society pays more attention to this phenomenon that we have changed the corresponding legal text and upgraded the corresponding crimes of abducting and selling children and women, including the public security organs launching a" reunion "action and taking more powerful measures to save these broken families."

The social reality reflected in "Lonely Lost" and the influence of Andy Lau, the leading actor, made more people pay attention to this social problem. When talking about the original intention of filming, film director Peng Sanyuan was also very emotional.

"The original intention of filming at that time was to hope that the whole society would pay special attention to such groups. They knew that such a thing would happen around us, and they should know that the evil chain of traffickers always existed."

"On the one hand, I wanted to help the abducted children go home and help the parents who are looking for children to reunite with their loved ones as soon as possible."

"There is also the hope that we can remind the public that we should protect our children and avoid being separated from them because of negligence or even because of gang robbery by criminals. Therefore, it is not too much to protect our children. If we can do this, I feel that our film has not been shot in vain."

The director’s two wishes have now come true, and the film has not only been shot in vain, but also updated its own best ending. Many viewers are particularly concerned about whether "Lonely Lost" will be shown in the cinema in today’s situation, and many netizens especially hope that Peng Dao can shoot the story after the reunion.

Director Peng Sanyuan also responded to the earnest invitation of the audience and netizens: "In fact, I have seen many netizens’ appeals. It is possible for us to shoot Lonely 2, but we should not bother Guo Zhen and Guo Gangtang. On the contrary, I feel that this father and son should no longer enter the public eye from now on, and let them quietly spend time repairing their family ties that have been cut off for 24 years. "

"Because of the renewed affection, it takes time. Only time can cure everything. Maybe they need two years, maybe three years, five years or ten years. So I think that up to now, we will not use another film to disturb their peaceful life, but I will pay attention. " Continue to pay attention not only to the running-in of affection between Guo Gangtang and Guo Zhen’s father and son, but also to other groups that are still separated from their relatives.

In this issue, guest Wang Jian also mentioned another film, Dying to Survive, which reflects social reality. "As Director Peng said just now, she made such a film because she paid attention to reality, and will not give up her continued concern for reality because she finished the film. Many of our films are actually affecting reality. For example, Dying to Survive directly promoted our corresponding anticancer drugs into our medical insurance catalogue, such as the revision of our Drug Administration Law. "

Wang Jian mentioned: "Art works must first reflect real life. At the same time, if you can change the reality through your own strength in the process of artistic creation and let the society develop in a better direction, this is in itself a very important responsibility for our film practitioners. "

Indeed, as a filmmaker, it is very precious to reflect the social reality we see to the public in artistic creation.

"The development and progress of our society has come to this day. In fact, the whole social group has become more and more detailed. Whether each minority group has received social attention and care, and his problems and demands have been solved, from this point of view, it also spurs and encourages more artists to pay attention to every corner of our society and pay attention to everyone’s inner demands. "

The Lost Orphan is undoubtedly a very successful film, which makes us pay attention to the group of lost and abducted children. At the same time, we also hope and believe that more and more movies will reflect and influence reality and make society better.

　　A Fang (a pseudonym) after 90 often feels tired. Last year, on the recommendation of a friend, an online consulting agency of nutrition collocation in personal tailor prepared some health products for him. "It’s a WeChat applet. It took a few minutes to do the questionnaire. According to the results, the platform gave me some health care products, including seaweed oil, vitamin E and other 5-minute pills." Five small pills a day, A Fang feels that the price is not expensive, and the first order can’t reach 700 yuan. Three months’ worth, and I haven’t finished eating for half a year. Although he didn’t see the effect of these nutritional supplements, he was psychologically satisfied.

　　A Fang’s friend left a message for the qianjiang evening news Hour reporter, trying to confirm whether this little pill is reliable or not. "Is this an IQ tax?"

　　Nutritionist’s statement:

　　The conclusion of the questionnaire is unscientific.

　　This online consulting organization of nutrition collocation in personal tailor takes WeChat as the main channel, carries out brand promotion through WeChat official account, and advertises in the circle of friends based on big data, and then uses the strong sociality of WeChat to push the brand to a wider audience. At the same time, it also opened up channels such as Tik Tok, Xiaohongshu and Tmall to capture the youth market.

　　The founder of the agency mentioned in an interview with other media that "some people can’t keep eating vegetables and exercising every day. He must smoke, drink and eat fast food in his life, then we can recommend him to take some extra vitamins with the goal of making people healthier. "

　　The reporter also spent a few minutes making a questionnaire, including topics such as eating habits and lifestyle. The questions are many and detailed, and some are indeed subjective.

　　Finally, the platform for reporter personal tailor’s plan requires five kinds of drugs, with a quantity of three months and a cost of more than 600 yuan.

　　Is the vitamin supplement obtained by this consultation reliable?

　　After reading the complete questionnaire, Lu Yanxuan, a nutritionist at the Second Hospital of Zhejiang University, said: "The questions involved in the questionnaire are quite reasonable, and there is no problem from the evaluation point of view, but the conclusions drawn through these questions are not enough evidence."

　　In other words, these surveys can’t determine what your body needs, and the conclusions drawn from them are too one-sided. For example, fatigue means that the body lacks some nutrients, which is unscientific.

　　In her view, as long as you follow the Dietary Guidelines for China Residents (2022) issued by the China Nutrition Society on April 26th, 2022, you can achieve a balanced nutrition.

　　"Many health care products, including nutritional supplements, are controversial. Whether they can prevent and alleviate diseases, there is no direct and specific conclusion." Lu Yanxi said.

　　In fact, in the usual diet, nutrients are enough. For example, vitamin e exists in our usual cooking oil; Vitamin A can be taken from meat, eggs, milk and dark vegetables.

　　Just eat reasonably at ordinary times.

　　Special people should supplement nutrients.

　　Lu Yan-fung’s conclusion is that a reasonable diet can satisfy nutrition and maintain good health, and no additional supplements are recommended.

　　For example, too much calcium intake will interfere with the absorption of zinc and iron; Vitamins A and D are fat-soluble vitamins. If they are not easily metabolized, they may accumulate in the body and even have the risk of poisoning.

　　"The dosage standard in China is different from that in foreign countries, so foreign health care products may not be suitable for Chinese." She said that even the most harmless probiotics that can regulate the intestines, everyone has different reactions to it, so you can’t blindly follow suit.

　　But some special people really need to supplement nutrients, so they can eat some properly.

　　Pregnant women, nursing mothers, young children, the elderly, etc., due to the high demand for some nutrients in special physiological periods, should often consult nutritionists, nutrition experts or doctors (hospitals, health centers) to make reasonable nutritional conditioning to ensure the nutritional needs in special physiological periods.

　　The means of nutritional conditioning include diet, nutrient supplement, reasonable exercise and other measures.

　　On the whole, Lu Yan-fung suggested that you should not eat health care products to supplement nutrients at will, and a reasonable diet can fully meet the nutrition. If you really want to supplement it, you need to supplement it scientifically and effectively under the guidance of professional doctors.

CCTV News:At the press conference on March 1, the relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Finance introduced that this year will support the promotion of consumption recovery and upgrading from three aspects.

The relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Finance said that the key to vigorously enhancing consumer confidence and releasing consumption potential is to solve outstanding problems such as not daring to consume, inconvenient to consume and unwilling to consume. The financial sector will fully implement the strategy of expanding domestic demand, focus on giving full play to the basic role of consumption, actively improve policies and measures, stimulate consumption potential, and further support and promote the recovery and upgrading of the consumer market.

Xu Hongcai, Vice Minister of Finance:Increase residents’ income through multiple channels, so that ordinary people have money to spend. Do everything possible to expand employment and rely on labor to create income. Increase social security, transfer payments and other adjustments, improve the consumption power of low-and middle-income residents, and at the same time improve preferential tax and fee policies to stimulate social consumption potential.

At the same time, the financial sector will support increasing the supply of marketable goods, so that ordinary people are willing to spend. Encourage qualified places to support home appliances "trade-in" and green smart home appliances to the countryside through existing funding channels. New energy vehicles with a purchase period of 2023 will continue to be exempted from vehicle purchase tax. We will reduce import tariffs on some high-quality consumer goods, accelerate the establishment of a housing system with multi-agent supply, multi-channel guarantee and simultaneous rent and purchase, support rigid and improved housing demand, and actively promote household consumption. In addition, the financial department will also promote the smooth flow of sales channels and logistics, making it convenient for ordinary people to consume. Support the implementation of county commercial construction actions and promote the expansion and quality improvement of county consumption. Support the construction of supply chain system of agricultural products and expand the consumption market of agricultural products. Support the construction of a number of national comprehensive freight hubs and promote logistics to reduce costs and improve efficiency.

China’s job market continues to heat up, and enterprise recruitment and talent job hunting are "both in supply and demand"

　　Since the beginning of the year, the level of macroeconomic prosperity has returned to the expansion range, driving the China job market to continue to heat up. The offline job fairs held by colleges and universities all over the country are crowded, and the online live broadcasts are continuous. Enterprise recruitment and talent job hunting show a booming trend of supply and demand, and the spring recruitment market is warm and harmonious.

　　The "2023 Shanghai Spring Employment Promotion Special Action Large-scale Job Fair" kicked off on February 25th. The organizers carefully selected thousands of enterprises to recruit, providing more than 25,000 jobs, covering key industries such as advanced manufacturing, construction, scientific research and information technology, and setting up special recruitment areas for specialized and new "little giant" enterprises and employment trainee bases.

　　The job fair attracted nearly 18,000 people, delivered more than 35,000 resumes, reached nearly 10,000 initial intentions, and more than 200,000 people participated in live post activities. The organizer said that the number of participants exceeded expectations, on the one hand, because online recruitment methods have been adopted for more than three years, and enterprises and job seekers have a strong desire to communicate face to face. More importantly, since the beginning of the year, all kinds of enterprises have been busy with production and development, and the recruitment demand has increased greatly.

　　In addition to job fairs, Shanghai has also launched a new public recruitment platform online to build a "recruitment Taobao" for the market and job seekers, and will implement the "Shanghai Employment Promotion Regulations" on March 1 to provide legal protection for promoting high-quality and full employment.

　　In addition, Shaanxi, Hebei, Jiangsu, Xinjiang and other places have also started large-scale talent recruitment fairs in the spring, using online and offline forms to attract many enterprises and job seekers to enter the market, and the labor market has shown a booming supply and demand situation. Colleges and universities all over the country also actively carry out the "warm heart action" to promote employment, seize the spring recruitment period, and provide diversified employment guidance services for college graduates.

　　The analysis pointed out that since the beginning of the year, the level of macroeconomic prosperity has returned to the expansion range, driving the job market to heat up. In addition to consolidating existing employment and absorbing new jobs, we should also focus on the labor demand brought about by the expansion of service industry and industrial upgrading, and create more jobs for the flexible employment population of about 200 million.

Tickets are sold out, venues are full, and the performance market is booming.

Recently, the offline performance market has recovered rapidly, many large-scale concerts have been restarted, and major theaters have also ushered in a long-lost lively popularity.

At 7: 30 on the weekend, at the entrance of this theater in Nanshan District, Shenzhen, many spectators are queuing to enter. That night, a Chinese version of Broadway musical will be staged. The person in charge said that more than 1000 tickets have all been sold out.

In fact, one or two months after the Spring Festival is usually the off-season of the performance market. At present, a variety of offline performances including concerts, dramas, music festivals and talk shows have been staged one after another, and the performance market has ushered in a "good start".

Vigorous China Tourism Market is gradually picking up.

The catering industry is accelerating its recovery, and recently, the tourism market is gradually picking up. Not only the domestic tour after the Spring Festival is full of excitement, but also the consumers and practitioners in the outbound travel market are full of expectations.

Since the tourism recovery this year, the main scenic spot of Huanglong in Sichuan has received more than 102,000 tourists, an increase of more than 400% year-on-year. In Xiasi Ancient Town, Kaili, Guizhou, after the Spring Festival, the tourist flow in the scenic spot is still unabated, and the parking lot is full of tourist cars from all over the country.

Since China’s pilot restoration of the national travel agency’s business of outbound group tourism, the outbound tourism market has gradually warmed up. The market is constantly picking up, and some travel agencies have experienced a "shortage of tour guides". However, with the return of previous tour guides and the addition of fresh blood, this situation is gradually improving.

Philippine: Baguio holds Flower Festival and expects China tourists to return.

Not only domestic travel agencies are well prepared, but also various outbound destinations are using various ways to attract tourists from China.

Baguio City is located in the northern part of Luzon Island, Philippines, with a cool and pleasant climate. Local tourism practitioners expect China tourists to return to the Philippines as soon as possible.

China’s resumption of outbound travel has a positive impact on global tourism.

Recently, the United Nations World Tourism Organization also announced that the resumption of outbound travel in China has had a positive impact on the recovery of global tourism. Before the COVID-19 outbreak, China was the largest tourism market in the world. The recovery of domestic tourism in China will create a linkage effect for other economic sectors and bring greater vitality to China and even the global economy.

　　On February 19th, thousands of anti-war activists in the United States held a rally in front of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington. Protesters demanded that the United States stop inciting the Russian-Ukrainian conflict and cut US military spending. The picture shows a protester holding a slogan to cut military spending to attend the rally.

　　Xinhua News Agency reporter Liu Jieshe

　　The White House recently announced the fiscal year 2024 budget, and plans to allocate 842 billion US dollars for the US Department of Defense, which is the highest military budget ever proposed by the US government. In addition, the budget also plans to inject capital into defense-related projects in other departments.

　　Experts pointed out that the fundamental purpose of the high US military expenditure is to maintain hegemony. Supported by high military expenditure, the United States continues to disrupt the world and bring instability to the world. The uncertainty of the external environment has become the reason for the United States to further increase its military spending, which has led to the United States falling into the strange circle of "the higher the military spending, the less safe it is."

　　The highest military expenditure in peacetime

　　According to the news released on the website of the US Department of Defense, the US government’s 2024 budget proposed to allocate 842 billion US dollars for the Pentagon. This amount is $26 billion higher than the military budget for fiscal year 2023 proposed by the US government and $100 billion higher than that for fiscal year 2022.

　　"The US government’s military budget in 2024 hit a record high." Today, the Russian TV website reported that at present, the US military expenditure has exceeded the sum of the military expenditures of the nine countries ranked next.

　　Reuters reported that in addition to the $842 billion allocated to the U.S. Department of Defense, the new budget also plans to allocate $44 billion for defense-related projects of the FBI, the U.S. Department of Energy and other institutions, which will bring the total defense-related budget of the United States in fiscal year 2024 to $886 billion, which is the highest defense budget proposed by the U.S. government in peacetime.

　　The website of National Defense magazine reported that $886 billion is expected to account for 3.2% of the US GDP in 2024 and 47% of the US federal government’s discretionary expenditure.

　　American military spending has been the highest in the world for many years. According to the data of the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute in Sweden, during the 10 years from 2012 to 2021, the US military expenditure always ranked first in the world, accounting for 39% of the total global military expenditure in the past 10 years. In December 2022, the US House of Representatives passed the National Defense Authorization Act for fiscal year 2023, which stipulated that the US defense budget in 2023 was as high as 858 billion US dollars. This is the first time that US military expenditure has exceeded 800 billion US dollars.

　　McChord, Chief Financial Officer and Auditor-General of the US Department of Defense, recently told American media that the ratio of US military budget to GDP in 2024 is not the highest in history. The defense budget of the United States in the late Iraq war and Afghanistan war accounted for much more than 3.2% of GDP. He added that the US military expenditure during World War II once reached one third of GDP.

　　In order to maintain high military spending, the United States does not hesitate to empty its pockets. Recently, many foreign media have noticed that the financial health of the United States has declined. The national debt burden of the United States has now exceeded 31 trillion US dollars, far exceeding the total GDP of 25 trillion US dollars. According to the website of the US Defense News Weekly, Speaker of the US House of Representatives McCarthy promised to cut the federal budget by 130 billion US dollars to reduce the US debt burden, but neither the Senate nor the House of Representatives opposed the continued increase in military spending.

　　Reuters said that the US Congress will discuss the 2024 budget in the coming months. The US Congress may further increase military spending on the basis of the budget proposed by the White House.

　　"Still being false ‘ Hegemonic dream ’ Trapped "

　　According to the information published on the website of the White House, $842 billion includes $9.1 billion of targeted investment in the Pacific Deterrence Program of the US Department of Defense. The plan aims to strengthen the presence of the United States in the Pacific region. The new budget also proposes to provide $6 billion in aid to Ukraine. In addition, the new budget also stated that it would invest $2 billion to "make game-changing investments in the Indo-Pacific region".

　　In terms of weapons and equipment, the United States is also continuing to "burn money." Reuters said that the new budget proposed to invest a huge sum of US$ 145 billion in the weapons research and development program, specifically for developing long-range strike weapons such as hypersonic missiles and promoting the modernization of US military equipment.

　　The White House said in a statement that the 2024 military budget aims to "ensure American security" and strengthen cooperation with allies and partners to "meet urgent global challenges". Among them, "China" and "Russian" became the key words that frequently appeared in the statement.

　　"The fundamental purpose of the United States to maintain high military spending is to maintain its own hegemony." Yuan Zheng, deputy director and researcher of the American Institute of China Academy of Social Sciences, said that the United States has always believed in the law of the jungle in the diplomatic field, believing that military power is an important pillar of American global hegemony, and firmly believes that if it wants to maintain its hegemonic position and enhance its so-called ability to intervene in international affairs, it must increase its investment in military spending.

　　"In recent years, the United States has returned its strategic focus to the so-called ‘ Competition among great powers ’ , regard China and Russian as the main ‘ Challenge ’ And ‘ Threat ’ , hope in the face of ‘ Strategic opponent ’ At the same time, it maintained a strong military deterrent, so it continued to increase military spending, which made the US military expenditure increase obviously. At the same time, the United States continued to provide military assistance to Ukraine, which led to the decline of ammunition stocks in the United States, and it was necessary to purchase more ammunition to make up for the vacancy, further pushing up US military expenditure. In addition, the inflation factor also has an impact on the rise of military spending. " Yuan Zheng said.

　　"In today’s world, from the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, the Iranian nuclear issue to the South China Sea dispute, there are many conflicts and disputes behind the United States." Zhou Fangyin, vice president of Guangdong Institute of International Strategic Studies, said, "The United States has always regarded military hegemony as the core means to achieve strategic goals and hopes to seek other interests with military superiority. At the same time, the United States also hopes to enhance its allies’ confidence in the United States and maintain the US-led alliance system by increasing military investment. "

　　"The United States is still being falsely ‘ Hegemonic dream ’ Trapped. " Recently, Andrew Bacevic, an honorary professor of international relations and history at Boston University, published an article on the bimonthly website of American Diplomacy, saying that American foreign policy agencies insist that the world needs more American military forces, and the fiasco of the Iraq war and the Afghan war has not stopped the United States from "betting" on military operations. For decades, America’s military misjudgment has wasted a lot of American wealth and sacrificed the lives of thousands of Americans. According to Brown University’s "War Cost Accounting" project, since the "September 11th" incident, the United States has spent about $8 trillion on global military operations, and the costs of these military operations far outweigh the gains.

　　American military spending remains high, and there is a military-industrial complex behind it. Reuters reported that the 2024 budget of the United States was the first budget that explicitly proposed to sign long-term contracts with American arms dealers for the procurement of missiles and other ammunition. In the past, such long-term contracts were only used for the purchase of aircraft and ships. According to the report, the new budget will benefit major US arms dealers such as Raytheon, Lockheed Martin, Lockdyne, Northrop Grumman and General Dynamics.

　　Zhou Fangyin said that the military-industrial complex composed of the US military, arms dealers, politicians and think tanks has strong political influence in the United States. In recent years, despite the economic downturn, increasing financial difficulties, and unhealthy government revenue and expenditure, the United States has maintained high military expenditures, which has already damaged the economic growth and competitiveness of the United States. However, due to the lobbying and encouragement of the military-industrial complex, the US government refused to cut military spending even if it cut other expenditures.

　　"There has always been a call to cut military spending in the United States, but in the end it often ends in vain. Obviously, there are huge interest groups behind it." Zhou Fangyin said.

　　A dangerous signal.

　　High military expenditure continues to support the US overseas military operations. Some American media found that from 1798 to 2022, the United States launched 469 military activities overseas, and only 251 times in the short period of more than 30 years since the end of the Cold War, far exceeding the sum of more than 190 years before the end of the Cold War. The targets of these military operations involve most countries in the world.

　　Stimulated by the new round of high military expenditure, the US military plan is more active. According to the website of the US Defense News Weekly, the funds allocated to the US Department of Energy in the new US budget in 2024 will provide a "strong technical and engineering foundation" for the trilateral security partnership between the United States, Britain and Australia. A few days ago, the United States, Britain and Australia just announced a new nuclear submarine cooperation plan, and the nuclear proliferation behavior of the three countries has taken another dangerous step.

　　Yuan Zheng said that the United States believes in force and is obsessed with increasing military spending and enhancing its ability to intervene abroad. This concept violates the purposes of the UN Charter and the basic norms of international relations based on international law, and runs counter to the trend of world peace and development. At present, on the basis of its strong military strength, the United States is still increasing its expenditure on weapons research and development and procurement, and promoting the modernization of its military equipment, which is a dangerous signal to other countries. This move will stimulate the arms race, aggravate international tensions and undermine the global strategic balance.

　　"The United States has greatly increased its military spending, which has also made the relationship between major powers even more tense." Yuan Zheng said, "The United States regards China and Russia as its main strategic competitors, engages in proxy war behind the Ukrainian crisis, tries to bring down and consume Russia, and constantly uses the situation in the South China Sea and the Taiwan Strait to fully contain China. These acts seriously endanger regional peace and security and bring instability to the world, which is by no means a good thing for global strategic stability. "

　　In the new budget, the United States also proposes to "strengthen democracy and promote human rights on a global scale". To this end, the budget will provide more than 3.4 billion US dollars for "strengthening free and independent media; Combating corruption, strengthening democracy, and defending free and fair elections and political processes.

　　The bimonthly website of American Diplomacy published an article entitled "The Root of Washington’s Addiction to Force", saying that the United States has developed the inertia of interfering in international affairs. During the Cold War, under the banner of national security, the United States supported coups, intervened in elections and secretly took military action around the world. After the end of the Cold War, the old habits of the United States were still deeply rooted, and they began to call themselves "leaders of the free world" and continued to intervene under the banner of "protecting human rights and promoting democracy".

　　Zhou Fangyin said that the United States is currently caught in a vicious circle of military expansion. On the one hand, in the name of safeguarding world security, the United States has greatly increased its military expenditure and created contradictions and conflicts around the world. On the other hand, in order to intervene and intervene in these conflicts, the United States needs huge financial support, thus further increasing its military expenditure. For many years, the United States has been trapped in this cycle.

　　"Since World War II, the United States has always been the most powerful country in the world. If the United States really wants to promote world security, it can make achievements in many fields. However, the interest of the United States has never been to promote world peace and security, but to expand its international influence, suppress its strategic opponents and safeguard its global hegemony. As a result, it has not only added instability and uncertainty to the world, but also made the United States pay a high price. The United States has always believed that there are enemies and insecurity outside, so it has continuously strengthened its military investment, thus stepping into the strange circle of arrogance. " Zhou Fangyin said. (Reporter Lin Zihan)
