In order to implement the provincial and municipal project of "Free Vaccination of Human Papillomavirus Vaccine for School-age Girls", Yichun Municipal Health and Health Commission, Municipal Education and Sports Bureau, Municipal Finance Bureau and Municipal Women’s Federation jointly issued a document. Since September 2023, Yichun Maternal and Child Health Hospital has provided assistance to female students (age defined as December 31, 2023) who are in junior high school, have not been vaccinated with human papillomavirus (HPV) and are not over 14 years old.

HPV science popularization

What is HPV?

HPV is the abbreviation of human papillomavirus. There are many members in the HPV family, and a small part of them are closely related to malignant tumors, so they are called high-risk HPV. 99% of cervical cancer is caused by this virus. Vaccination of HPV vaccine can block the persistent infection of high-risk HPV, thus effectively reducing the incidence of cervical cancer and precancerous lesions. It is the only vaccine to prevent cancer in the world.

Why should I get HPV vaccine?

Cervical cancer is a "major killer" that seriously threatens women’s life and health, and it is the only cancer with definite cause at present, which is caused by persistent infection of high-risk HPV virus. According to statistics, there will be about 110,000 new cases and 60,000 deaths in China in 2020. In recent years, the incidence of cervical cancer in China is younger and rising. At present, the youngest cervical cancer patient is only 15 years old. However, because the cause is clear, cervical cancer can be prevented from the source by vaccination with HPV vaccine.

The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends girls aged 9-14 to be vaccinated with HPV vaccine, so as to get protection as soon as possible and effectively prevent and reduce the incidence of cervical cancer and precancerous lesions. In 2023, the National Health and Wellness Commission, the Ministry of Education and other 10 ministries and commissions jointly issued the Notice on Printing and Distributing the Action Plan for Accelerating the Elimination of Cervical Cancer (2023-2030), which clearly defined the main objectives of "further improving the cervical cancer prevention and control service system, improving the comprehensive prevention and control ability" and "promoting the HPV vaccination service for school-age girls". Bivalent HPV vaccine can prevent infection caused by high-risk HPV virus and effectively block the occurrence of cervical cancer. Girls who have not had sex have the best vaccination effect, and only need 2 doses at the age of 9-14, which is the best age for HPV vaccination.

For the sake of your child’s health, I suggest you take your child to get HPV vaccine as soon as possible!

Inoculation objects and principles of livelihood projects

Girls who have a student status or household registration in Yichun, entered junior high school in September 2023, have not been vaccinated with HPV and are not over 14 years old (hereinafter referred to as "school-age girls", whose age is defined as December 31, 2023).

Inoculated objects should be under 14 years old after the first dose and under 15 years old after the second dose, in accordance with the principle of informed and voluntary.

Vaccination instructions

Can I be vaccinated during the menstrual period?

Development and Reform Commission: Prices are expected to remain stable and multi-pronged to stabilize and expand employment.

On September 18th, the National Development and Reform Commission held a press conference to release the macroeconomic operation and answer questions from reporters. Meng Wei, deputy director and spokesperson of the Policy Research Office of the National Development and Reform Commission, said that the measures to ensure supply and stabilize prices have been effectively implemented and have produced certain positive results.

Prices are expected to remain stable.

From January to August, the consumer price index (CPI) rose by an average of 2.4% year-on-year, and rose by 2.8% year-on-year in August, which was the same as last month. The PPI of industrial producers rose by 0.1% compared with the same period of last year, and fell by 0.8% in August. Meng Wei said that since the beginning of this year, China’s prices have been operating in a reasonable range. Looking further, the structural characteristics of rising prices are obvious. Affected by African swine fever epidemic and other factors, pork prices rose significantly, driving food prices to increase significantly. However, judging from the core CPI excluding food and energy prices, it rose by 1.5% year-on-year in August and rose by 1.7% on average from January to August.

"Maintaining the basic stability of prices, especially the prices of important people’s livelihood commodities, is related to the basic livelihood of the people, especially the people in need. The CPC Central Committee and the State Council attach great importance to this." Meng Wei said that since the beginning of this year, the National Development and Reform Commission has conscientiously implemented the decision-making arrangements of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council, and issued a series of policies and measures with relevant departments to ensure market supply and promote basic price stability. For example, take the lead in formulating plans and measures to ensure supply and price stability, vigorously support the construction of pig breeding capacity, enhance the ability of reserve regulation, and earnestly ensure the basic living security of people in need. At present, some measures have been effectively implemented and have produced positive results.

According to reports, from the recent monitoring situation, pork prices tend to be stable. From September 11 to September 17, the average daily retail price of pork in 36 large and medium-sized cities increased by 0.28%, which was significantly narrower than that in August. On September 17th, the average prices of fruits and vegetables dropped by 3.2% and 2.2% respectively compared with the end of August.

Meng Wei said that from the analysis of price trends, prices are expected to continue to operate smoothly during the National Day. The National Development and Reform Commission, together with relevant departments, will continue to closely monitor the market price changes of important commodities for people’s livelihood, and take corresponding control measures in a timely manner as needed to keep prices basically stable.

Multi-pronged approach to stabilize and expand employment

Stable employment is the first of the "six stabilities". Meng Wei said that from the current situation, China’s employment situation is generally stable.

First, new jobs have grown steadily. From January to August, 9.84 million new jobs were created in cities and towns across the country, which has achieved 89.5% of the annual target; In August, the national urban survey unemployment rate was 5.2%, down 0.1 percentage point from July, and both July and August were below the control target of 5.5%.

Second, the market supply and demand are basically balanced. The recruitment ratio of human resources market in 11 provinces and cities such as Guangdong is still higher than 1, and the job demand is greater than the number of job seekers.

Third, the employment of key groups is generally stable. As of July 1, the employment rate of college graduates in 2019 was 68.3%, which was basically the same as the same period last year; At the end of the second quarter, the total number of migrant workers in rural areas reached 180 million, an increase of 2.26 million over the same period last year; By the end of July, 10.96 million poor laborers had been employed, an increase of 1.08 million over the end of last year.

Meng Wei said that at present, China’s economic operation is still in a reasonable range, the service industry with large employment capacity has developed rapidly, and the role of innovation and entrepreneurship has been continuously enhanced; At the same time, China has formed a relatively complete employment and entrepreneurship policy and service system, which have provided strong support for achieving higher quality and full employment.

Since the beginning of this year, the State Council and relevant departments have successively introduced and implemented a number of policies and measures to stabilize employment, such as reducing taxes and fees, helping enterprises to stabilize their posts, vocational training, and expanding enrollment in higher vocational colleges, and the effects have gradually emerged. Meng Wei said that in the next step, the National Development and Reform Commission will continue to regard stable employment as the lower limit of macroeconomic regulation and control and the top of the "six stabilities", conscientiously implement the employment priority strategy with relevant departments, adhere to focusing on key points and making precise policies, and further improve the response measures while doing a good job in implementing the established policies, and stabilize and expand employment in a multi-pronged manner.

Infrastructure investment accelerated.

The data shows that from January to August, the national infrastructure investment increased by 4.2% year-on-year, 0.4 percentage points faster than that from January to July. In August, the National Development and Reform Commission approved 9 fixed assets investment projects with a total investment of 68.9 billion yuan.

The 2019 "Government Work Report" proposed that the target task of "completing railway investment of 800 billion yuan" should be achieved this year. In response to the statement that "the absolute amount of railway investment has slowed down in the past two months", Meng Wei said that since the beginning of this year, the completion of railway investment has been generally stable. From January to August, China’s railway investment in fixed assets reached 449.6 billion yuan, basically equivalent to the same period last year.

In order to complete this year’s railway investment task and lay a good foundation for subsequent construction, the National Development and Reform Commission will further intensify its work with relevant departments, China State Railway Group Co.,Ltd. and relevant places, focusing on "three batches", that is, "one batch under construction, one batch under construction and one batch under reserve".

We will steadily build a number of major projects. Railway construction projects are still short-term in the central and western regions of China. It is necessary to focus on the central and western regions, continue to promote the "eight vertical and eight horizontal" main passages of high-speed railways, improve the layout of trunk road networks, and urge the project funds to be in place in time and in full.

Promote the start of a number of major projects. Recently, the National Development and Reform Commission approved a number of railway projects. Among them, the feasibility study report of Chongqing-Kunming high-speed railway was recently approved, with a total investment of 141.6 billion yuan, which is the largest railway project approved by the National Development and Reform Commission since the 13th Five-Year Plan. In addition, there are still several backbone channel projects that are actively carrying out preliminary work, and will be approved item by item once conditions are met.

Plan and reserve a number of major projects. In order to give full play to the basic supporting role of railways in the coordinated development of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, the development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt, the construction of Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and other major strategies, the National Development and Reform Commission and relevant parties are speeding up the preparation of relevant special transportation plans in combination with the preliminary research of the Tenth Five-Year Plan. The next step will be to incorporate the research of major projects with accurate and influential views into the plan, strengthen the project reserve, and form a good situation of combining far and near and connecting in steps.

"In short, we will work with relevant parties to focus on accurate investment and effective investment and give full play to the positive role of investment in promoting economic and social development." Meng Wei said. (Economic Daily-China Economic Net reporter Xiong Li)

　　CCTV News:The number of market players in private enterprises accounts for more than 90%, which plays an important role in restoring and expanding consumption. How to fully release the consumption potential and enhance the basic role of consumption in economic development? Entrusted by the CPC Central Committee, the All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce started field research in Beijing, Jiangsu and other places in April this year around the theme of "actively playing the role of private enterprises in restoring and expanding consumption".

　　In Jiangsu Province, the research team of the All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce went deep into the production lines of Suzhou Food Store Fresh E-Commerce Co., Ltd., Mahayana Environmental Protection New Materials Co., Ltd., Good Boy Group Co., Ltd., and visited and inspected a number of consumer complexes, rural tourism projects, and old-age service projects on the spot to gain an in-depth understanding of the development status and demands of enterprises.

　　In Jiangsu, the research group of the All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce has also held symposiums of government departments, private enterprises and chambers of commerce to listen to opinions and suggestions. In recent years, Jiangsu’s consumption has been continuously expanded, upgraded and upgraded by continuously improving policies and systems to promote consumption. In the first quarter of this year, the total retail sales of consumer goods in Jiangsu Province reached 1,170.68 billion yuan, up 7.8% year-on-year, and the consumer market recovered obviously. Tourism, catering and other industries grew strongly, from January to — In March, Jiangsu’s catering revenue above designated size increased by 21.7% year-on-year. While the industry is recovering, the catering industry still faces pain points such as "high cost, low profit and difficult employment".

　　The research team also found that there are some problems in the consumer market, such as the lack of motivation for bulk consumption demand, the continuous weakening of residents’ consumption expectations, and the overall slow transformation of intelligent and digital commerce enterprises. The research team believes that the vast number of private enterprises should further improve in optimizing supply, creating new demand and building characteristic brands, adapt, lead and create new demand with high-quality supply, promote a virtuous circle of supply and demand at a higher level, promote the organic combination of expanding consumption and improving people’s quality of life, and drive the overall prosperity of the consumer market.

　　The research team also inspected the construction of three major construction projects, namely, the theater, the museum and the library of Tongzhou City Sub-center in Beijing, learned about the operation and development of the business district of City Avenue, and had discussions and exchanges with relevant departments of the Beijing Municipal Government and private entrepreneurs to learn in detail how Beijing can actively play the role of private enterprises in restoring and expanding consumption.

　　At the same time of on-the-spot investigation, the research team also conducted an online questionnaire survey on more than 100,000 private enterprises based on the quarterly operation survey system of private enterprises of the All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce. Through big data analysis, the outstanding problems faced by private enterprises in restoring and expanding consumption are summarized.

　　Qiu Xiaoping, Vice Chairman of the All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce:After investigation, we study and put forward suggestions on optimizing policies for policy issues; In view of the enterprise’s own problems, we will work with relevant departments to promote the gathering of capital, technology, talents and other factors to the enterprise, and adapt, lead and create new consumer demand with high-quality supply; In view of the problems in market construction, we will give full play to the advantages of our chamber of commerce, and work with relevant departments to build a docking platform for production, supply and marketing to smooth the market cycle and promote the overall prosperity of the consumer market.

Many studies have revealed that the severity of diseases infected with Omicron is less severe. So, compared with Delta, what are the clinical manifestations of Omicron infection?

Recently, a large-scale study from the United Kingdom revealed that in the epidemic period dominated by Omicron, the prevalence rate of 12 symptoms of those infected with two or three doses of vaccine was significantly lower than that in the Delta epidemic period, including loss of sense of smell, change of sense of smell, sneezing, runny nose, brain fog, sore eyes, headache, fever and so on.

The researchers said that the most significant symptom difference between the two groups is the loss of sense of smell, which is the diagnostic feature of early Covid-19 infection, but now less than 20% of cases will suffer from the loss of sense of smell. The results showed that the probability of olfactory loss of infected people was only 16.7% during Omicron epidemic, while this figure was 52.7% during Delta epidemic.

In addition, during the epidemic period in Omicron, the hospitalization rate of patients was even lower, at 1.9%; During the Delta epidemic, the hospitalization rate was 2.6%.

The research is entitled Symptom Prevention, Duration, and risk of hospital admission in individuals infected with SARS-CoV-2 during periods of omicron and delta variant dominance: a prospective observatio Nal study from the ZOE COVID Study was published online in the authoritative international medical journal The Lancet on April 7th, local time.

The probability of 12 symptoms of Omicron infected people is reduced.

The main researchers of the above research are from King’s College London and Nottingham University, and three of them are consultants of the application ZOE. There are also five researchers who are employees of the application ZOE.

This study is a prospective longitudinal observation study, and the data is coming from the application ZOE, which used to be called "COVID-19 Symptom Study", and users can report infection test results and symptoms by themselves.

The purpose of this study is to compare the possibility of designated symptoms (32 symptoms monitored by ZOE) and the possibility of hospitalization between those infected in Omicron epidemic period and those infected in Delta epidemic period. Therefore, the data of two periods were compared and analyzed: from June 1 to November 27, 2021, during this period, Delta mutant was dominant in Britain, with a prevalence rate of more than 70%; From December 20th, 2021 to January 17th, 2022, Omicron mutant was dominant in Britain, and the prevalence rate was over 70%.

The study first included 63,002 ZOE users who were COVID-19-positive by PCR or LFAT from June 1, 2021 to January 17, 2022. Among them, 33,785 users tested positive during the Delta epidemic and 29,217 users tested positive during the Omicron epidemic.

After that, the study further screened the samples. Finally, the eligible participants were 16-99 years old, living in the UK, with a body mass index of 15-55kg/m2, who had been vaccinated with at least 2 doses of COVID-19 vaccine and reported symptoms. The study also matched the age, sex and vaccination times of these positive infected people according to 1:1. After matching, the total number of participants in Omicron epidemic period and Delta epidemic period decreased to 4,990 in each group.

　Through data analysis, it was found that among 4990 people in Omicron group, the most commonly reported symptoms were runny nose (76.5%), headache (74.7%), sore throat (70.5%), sneezing (63.0%), persistent cough (49.8%) and hoarseness (42.6%). Among the 4990 people in Delta group, the most commonly reported symptoms were runny nose (81.6%), headache (77.9%), sneezing (70.7%), sore throat (60.8%) and loss of sense of smell (52.7%).

The study made a detailed comparison between the symptoms of the two periods, and found that among the 32 symptoms evaluated in the study, the prevalence rate of 12 symptoms in Omicron epidemic period was significantly lower than that in Delta epidemic period, including loss of sense of smell, change of sense of smell, sneezing, runny nose, brain fog, sore eyes, headache, fever, alopecia, blisters on feet, tinnitus and dizziness.

Compared with the Delta epidemic period, the infected people in Omicron epidemic period are less likely to show at least one of the three typical COVID-19 symptoms: fever, loss of sense of smell and persistent cough. However, sore throat and hoarseness are more likely to occur during the epidemic period in Omicron.

The researchers concluded that the most significant symptom difference between the two periods was the loss of sense of smell, which was the diagnostic feature of early Covid-19 infection, but now less than 20% of cases will appear. The results showed that during the Omicron epidemic, the olfactory loss of infected people was relatively rare, only 16.7%, while this figure was 52.7% during the Delta epidemic.

In addition, the probability of many debilitating symptoms in Omicron’s case is obviously reduced, such as brain fog, burning eyes, dizziness, fever and headache.

What is the difference between the duration of symptoms and rehabilitation after the third injection?

Because all the participants in this study have been vaccinated with two or three doses of vaccine, the study also makes a comparative analysis of different vaccination States.

Regarding the hospitalization rate, the study found that compared with the Delta epidemic period, during the Omicron epidemic period, the hospitalization rate of infected people was lower (94 people in Omicron group were hospitalized, while 130 people in Delta group were hospitalized), which was similar among the two-dose vaccinators and the three-dose vaccinators. Overall, the hospitalization rate in Omicron was 1.9% in epidemic period, while in Delta epidemic period, the hospitalization rate was 2.6%.

The researchers said that the hospitalization rate of patients in Omicron epidemic period was significantly lower than that in Delta epidemic period, which supported the previous findings from South Africa and South Korea that the Omicron mutant was less severe in disease.

"We found that the hospitalization rate of Omicron infected people is 25% lower than that of Delta, which is consistent with the report of Discovery Health, a private insurance company in Johannesburg, which claims that the hospitalization risk of Omicron infected people is 29% lower than that of Delta infected people." The researcher wrote.

The duration of acute symptoms of Omicron infected people and Delta infected people, I is all participants; Ii is a two-dose vaccinator and iii is a three-dose vaccinator. Paper drawings

The study also analyzed the duration of symptoms of patients with different vaccination conditions.

For the participants who recovered within 21 days, the study compared the time for the acute symptoms to subside. The samples were matched Delta infected persons and Omicron infected persons, with 1530 persons in each group. The study found that, on the whole, the acute symptoms of Delta infection lasted longer, with an average of 8.89 days, while in Omicron, the figure was 6.87 days.

If divided into two doses and three doses, there is no obvious difference in the duration between the two doses. The average duration of acute symptoms in Delta group is 9.57 days, and that in Omicron group is 8.30 days. This difference is obvious among the three doses of vaccination. The average duration of acute symptoms in Delta group is 7.71 days, and that in Omicron group is 4.40 days.

The researchers said that the dramatic shortening of the duration of symptoms of infected people during the epidemic period in Omicron was related to three doses of vaccination.

In addition, the study also investigated the probability of recovery within 7 days after symptoms appeared in Omicron epidemic period and Delta epidemic period. It was found that the possibility of 7-day recovery of infected people in Omicron epidemic period was twice that in Delta epidemic period.

The researchers write that there are still some limitations in this study. Although the design of this study matches the vaccination situation (two or three doses of vaccination), it cannot match the length of time after vaccination. If compared with the matching duration after vaccination, the current research may bias the data to present the more serious clinical situation after Omicron infection. However, the researchers believe that this will strengthen the robustness of the main findings of this study, that is, the clinical manifestations of Omicron infection are not as serious as Delta.

　　618 has greatly promoted the decline. Many consumers are worried about the routine of "going up first and then falling down" while sorting out shopping carts and calculating how to buy more cost-effective.

　　At present,In view of this situation, Taobao launched a new function "Price Protection Center" and opened it to all users.

　　After opening the "My Taobao" interface, click on the official customer service (or exclusive customer service) to enter the price protection center page. Users can apply for price protection through "one price protection". During the price protection period, the price difference can be refunded if the goods are reduced.

　　This means that,Consumers will not need to worry about product price fluctuations when shopping. If there is an operation of lowering the price immediately after the end of 618, they can directly apply for a refund of the price difference.

　　However, it should be noted that,Not all goods are suitable for this function.

　　First of all, only those products that support price protection service and reduce the price within the promised service period can support one-click price difference refund.

　　Secondly, if the price reduction of commodities is caused by participating in promotional activities such as 618, using exclusive benefits such as new people’s special offers, using red envelopes or subsidies of 10 billion yuan, it will not be covered by the price insurance.

　　At the same time, products with fluctuating prices such as jewelry, diamonds, vehicles and flowers, as well as intangible goods such as games and tourism services, will not support price protection services.

　　Although there are certain restrictions, the launch of this function can still make consumers feel more at ease while "buying in buy buy", without worrying about whether the merchants will deliberately raise prices.

Many consumers think that the cost of buying a car plus the cost of maintaining a car every year is really a lot of money, but now taxi software is so popular that it is convenient and cheap to take a car, and it is not practical to buy a car. However, in bad weather such as cold or hot, carrying a heavy shopping bag or dragging a huge suitcase, or when the driver is in an emergency, he will feel the pain of waiting. Although cars are consumables, and even the rate of preservation is not high, there is no denying that owning a car of your own can really bring great convenience to life, such as going to go on road trip.

Today, we will take a look at this new car of Ford Sharp. In terms of its exterior design, rough interior, high and low performance, etc., I think all the small owners have dived into major forums and dug countless evaluation videos, so there is no need to go into details in small series. Now, our focus is on the transaction price, discount, sales volume, value preservation and other aspects of Sharp, helping the small owners who are basically targeting and waiting for the opportunity to start to judge whether Ford Sharp is worth winning more comprehensively.

This site collected the real transaction price of Ford Sharp in the past year. The lowest transaction price in the country in the past month was 219,400 yuan, the highest cash discount for new cars was 10,400 yuan, and the maximum discount for new cars reached 9.55 fold! The price is for reference only, and the actual transaction price is subject to the local dealer.

Choose a car to buy a car? The difficulty of choosing a good car is almost catching up with the college entrance examination to fill in the volunteers! But in fact, it is not difficult to choose a car. It really depends on the sales volume. What everyone likes can’t be worse. Ford Sharp sold 1,376 vehicles in the past month, and we can see the recognition of new cars in the market from the sales trend chart below.

After the repeated adjustment of import tariffs, major manufacturers have released the price adjustment range of their models, which has also stabilized the market of used car market. However, the rate of preservation of cities at all levels has decreased from the previous month, so the rate of preservation must not be ignored when buying a car. After entering June this year, although the trading volume of used cars has gradually picked up, the price of used cars is hard to rise. For consumers, it is also a good opportunity to buy used cars! The chart below shows the hedge ratio of Ford Sharp. Is it within your acceptable range?

When we buy a car, we will pay attention to all aspects of this model in advance, especially the posts and word-of-mouth posted by car owners in major forums and vertical websites. Apart from the navy, there are still some car owners’ real car experience that is worth learning. Let’s take a look at Ford Sharp’s word-of-mouth score. The comprehensive score of Ford Sharp is 4.61, and the result is not bad, so Ford Sharp can consider it.

If you have seen the above, you still have doubts about whether Ford Sharp is worth buying, then you can also look at the performance of competing products in Ford Sharp. Among the following competing products, Tiguan L sold the most last month, with 10,889 vehicles, so there is always one for you.

If the price of the sharp world is right in the near future, then the friends will hurry! Linkage promotion in many places across the country, and there are even more discount models as low as 30%.

Recently, SAIC-GM-Wuling officially released the official picture of the brand-new Hongguang MINIEV. The new car not only continued the classic design elements of its family, but also introduced four-door design for the first time, bringing more diversified choices.

The new Hongguang MINIEV is built on the platform of Tianyu architecture S, and its positioning is still aimed at the A00-class mini-electric vehicle market. Judging from the official map released, the new car has been innovated in appearance design, and the body contour is more rounded and full, and the overall style is closer to the recent hot-selling Bingo SUV. What is particularly striking is that the new Hongguang MINIEV has added a four-door layout, which helps to improve the practicality and convenience of vehicles. It is reported that the length, width and height of the new car are 3256/1510/1578mm and the wheelbase is 2190mm, which is consistent with the two-door model and adopts a four-seat layout.

In terms of power, the two-door and four-door versions of the new Hongguang MINIEV are equipped with 30kW motors, which is consistent with the current high-power version. The maximum speed can reach 100km/h, and it is equipped with lithium iron phosphate battery to meet the daily needs of urban transportation. As a micro-electric vehicle with outstanding performance in the market, Hongguang MINIEV has won the love of consumers with its low price and small and cute appearance since its listing. According to the data of the Association, the cumulative sales volume of Hongguang MINIEV in 2022-2023 reached 444,800 and 237,900 respectively.

However, with the constant emergence of competitors in the market, such as Changan Lumin, Chery QQ ice cream and Geely Panda, the competition in the mini-car market is becoming increasingly fierce. These models are similar to Hongguang MINIEV in appearance design and price positioning, which brings certain challenges to their market position. From January to August this year, the cumulative sales volume of Wuling Hongguang MINIEV was only 125,514 vehicles, which was 51.66% lower than that of January to August 2022.

It is worth noting that although the mini-car market is booming, its profit is relatively low. Many car companies lay out the mini-car market, which is driven by the double-point policy in addition to pursuing sales growth. The latest financial report shows that in the first half of this year, SAIC-GM-Wuling’s operating income was 32.963 billion yuan and its net profit was only 97 million yuan. The guide price of the current Wuling Hongguang MINIEV is 32,800-99,900 yuan, of which the price of the main sales model is about 40,000 yuan. It is expected that the price of the new model will be raised.

Special feature of 1905 film network If you pay close attention to the movie credits, you will find a special department — — Corpse prosthetic prop group.

This department has been standard in Hollywood blockbusters, but it is the first time in domestic films.

Realistic injuries, delicate prostheses and tragic corpses have become an indispensable part of the film through the skillful hands of these behind-the-scenes craftsmen, allowing the audience to feel the cruelty of war and the fearless sacrifice spirit of the volunteers.

Xue Song, director of The Battle at Lake Changjin’s series of cadaver prosthetic props, revealed that they produced a total of 110 corpses and a large number of corpses and injuries for the film, the largest scale of which was made in China.

In this issue of Behind the Scene, let’s follow Xue Song to explore this little-known special department together.

tirelessly seek improvement

Restore the cruelty of the battlefield with details

What is the responsibility of the "corpse prosthetic prop group", which sounds a little mysterious and scary? Xue Song summed it up with four key words: "Scar and corpse blood".

"The first is the design of the blood effect of the injury; Second, it is necessary to solve the production of prosthetic props and cosmetic materials for corpses; The third is to complicate the execution in live shooting. "

Once upon a time, the scenes of death and injury in war films were mainly played by extras. However, with the development of visual effects technology and the increasing demand of audiences for war films, professional cadaver prosthetic props departments came into being to create effects that real actors could not achieve.

"For example, burning, burying, crushing, hanging, flooding, rotting, etc., this kind of thing is impossible for a real actor." Xue Song said, "You can also use artificial limbs to connect with real actors. For example, the body has been exploded in two parts, and it is impossible to use real people to do this effect. We need to use artificial limbs to connect with real people."

In this case, it is necessary to pay special attention to details and realism. "The reduction degree of the’ corpse’ and the real person should reach more than 90%, and it must withstand the level of large close-up and meticulous shooting of pores. The direction of hair scales, the texture of the skin, the blood vessels under the skin, the posture of death, and the expression before death must be restored. "

Take The Battle at Lake Changjin as an example. In the scene of fighting in a residential building in the Mid-Levels, an American soldier’s body was crushed by a tank in the process of fighting, so he needed to use a "corpse" to meet the actor.

It takes about 20 days to make such a "lifelike" corpse, from the scanning, modeling and sculpture of actors to the restoration of injuries and the texture of hair and eyeballs. The effort is reflected in the details.

Another common use of props such as cadaver prostheses is to "lay out the battlefield", which shows the extreme environment of the battlefield with a large number of corpses, body pieces, plasma and so on, showing the tragic cruelty of the war.

In The Battle at Lake Changjin, Wu Wan Li, who plays the first time in the battlefield, lies on the dry river bed with his comrades to avoid the US bombing, which is impressive. The air-dried bodies around the soldiers are also chilling.

During the production, Xue Song and his team referred to the cold, dry and windy climate in northern Korea, and did not make the corpse rotten, but made it air-dried.

"The atrophy of muscles, the collapse of soft tissues, the exposure of teeth, and the natural aging of clothing after wind and sun have formed the final effect."

For this kind of corpse prop that doesn’t need to take part in the play with the actors, Xue Song pays more attention to the visual effect shown to the audience and the communication of the film theme in the design.

"This scene wants to show that Wan Li, as a recruit, really feels the cruelty of war, which is very necessary for his personal growth. Our task is to create a battlefield environment full of death and promote his growth."

Pay equal attention to technology and art

Advanced assistance for domestic war film technology

Prop making and special effect makeup of cadaver prosthesis are not only hard-core technical activities, but also need rich knowledge reserves, including human anatomy, forensic medicine, military medicine and so on.

"First of all, we must have an understanding of the human body, subcutaneous fat layer, muscle layer and bone layer. The whole effect design is carried out according to the human muscle tissue structure."

According to the different ways of injury, injuries can be divided into different types, from the simplest subcutaneous bruises to superficial scratches, knife wounds, gunshot wounds, injuries, burns, chemical injuries, biological injuries, mechanical injuries, etc. "For each play, we will do the restoration of injury effects and the design of injuries in the environment described in the script," Xue Song explained.

Take it as an example, the old iron who was shot in the face formed a penetrating wound. The entrance of the bullet was very small, but after tumbling in the human body, the exit "exploded" the whole muscle tissue. These injury effects were supported by medical knowledge.

What is the difference between the wounds caused by pistols and rifles? What are the injuries caused by grenades, mines and incendiary bombs?

In order to restore the injury realistically, prop artists usually look through a large number of forensic anatomical illustrations and battlefield trauma materials to accumulate real materials.

Xue Song said with a smile that the team members, both boys and girls, are very "taste-oriented". Instead of being afraid of seeing pictures of various injuries, the first thought is "This injury is really beautiful. This person died with characteristics. I want to make them."

When evaluating excellent domestic war films, the two most common words are "truth", but this truth is enclosed in double quotation marks.

Prop design should also grasp the balance between restoring reality and artistic processing. Being too realistic and bloody will bring psychological and physical discomfort to the audience and affect the artistic expression of the film.

"Props are a part of the violent aesthetics of war movies, and it is more necessary to restore the artistic truth, filter out the bloody parts, and then become an artistic creation to serve the idea of the whole movie. We have always stressed the need to make technology with stories, and technology should be hidden behind art, not before it, "Xue Song said.

With the development of domestic war films, Xue Song and the props team have been accumulating behind-the-scenes production experience, from The Eight Hundred’s injury effect design to The Battle at Lake Changjin’s corpse prosthesis production.

During the production of The Battle at Lake Changjin, the team developed a batch of wearable injury effects, including frostbite finger covers, foot covers, etc. It is easy to wear, and the preparation time is only 10 minutes, which can meet the close-up level shooting and can be reused, saving costs.

After The Eight Hundred, a special technical system of domestic war films was gradually established, including creation mode, production mode and service mode, which provided reference for subsequent film production.

At the end of the The Battle at Lake Changjin film, the "corpse prosthetic prop group" first appeared in the behind-the-scenes team of domestic films, which was only the beginning and a new starting point for the continuous breakthrough of domestic war films.

　　Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, January 24thTitle: Sinking resources are carefully guarded — — Prevention and control of grass-roots epidemic situation during the Spring Festival

　　Xinhua news agency reporter

　　The Spring Festival of the Year of the Rabbit is the first long holiday when China’s epidemic prevention and control has entered a new stage. The reporter learned from interviews at the grassroots level in many places that all localities coordinated the dispatch of urban and rural medical resources and weaved a "protective net" at the grassroots level. The majority of medical workers and epidemic prevention personnel adhered to the front line and devoted themselves to the safety and health of the people for the New Year.

　　Consolidate various prevention and control measures

　　Implement epidemic prevention measures in key places, establish management accounts, and continuously publicize epidemic prevention knowledge … … In order to let the people live a safe and healthy Spring Festival, many places have taken a series of powerful actions.

　　During the Spring Festival, the Qingming Shangheyuan in Kaifeng, Henan Province launched the 2023 Kaifeng Folk Carnival, with hundreds of performances and hundreds of folk customs to celebrate the Spring Festival, attracting many tourists.

　　Xing Xiaoyue, a staff member of Shangheyuan Scenic Area in Qingming Festival, said that the park strictly implements the requirements of "limiting, making an appointment and shifting peaks", completes the work of eliminating and killing public facilities, and arranges special personnel to patrol. "In terms of personal protection, wearing masks in public places has become a habit, and everyone consciously becomes the first responsible person for their own health."

　　In view of the many cultural activities and dense personnel in various places during the Spring Festival, various places have implemented epidemic prevention work in key places by setting up special epidemic prevention classes, broadcasting reminders and regular disinfection. Zhang Mingzhi, director of Gaozhou Xiantaimiao Management Office in Maoming City, Guangdong Province, said that during the Spring Festival, the daily flow of people in the scenic spot was about 20,000 to 30,000, including many returnees and rural people. "The staff should disinfect the internal and external environment, and there is a warm reminder card for wearing a mask at the entrance."

　　Xihua County, Henan Province, made great efforts to find out the base number of key populations, established a dynamic management account for 125,000 elderly people over 60 years old, 4,408 left-behind children, 2,048 pregnant women, 24,019 disabled people, 2,230 elderly people living alone and 162,000 migrant workers, and established a transfer and treatment mechanism for infected people to ensure that they should be cured.

　　Wushan County, Chongqing has set up 42 fever clinics (consultation rooms) according to the principle of "all facilities should be set up and all services should be opened", and mobile diagnosis and treatment vehicles (mobile fever clinics) and fever diagnosis and treatment stations have been opened in urban areas to facilitate residents to seek medical treatment during the Spring Festival.

　　Pass forward to the community

　　In Dayu Village, Zhenjiang Town, Gaozhou City, Guangdong Province, Deng Bobo, a 90-year-old villager who had been infected with Covid-19, was discharged before the Spring Festival and returned home with his family. The old man feels gratified to have a reunion year with his children. Son Deng Lianjin said that the hospital has prepared medicines for the elderly to recover at home, and the nearby Shigu Town Central Health Center is only 10 minutes’ drive from home. My father’s recovery is guaranteed, and the whole family has lived with peace of mind this year.

　　The reporter learned from the interview that before the Spring Festival, the guidance on primary treatment was strengthened by means of on-site diagnosis and treatment, remote consultation, etc., and emergency equipment and medicines were prepared at the same time to move forward the barrier of health protection and prevention of severe illness.

　　In Xiaowang Village, Tiankou Township, Xihua County, Henan Province, the reporter saw that the village health center has two floors, one is the diagnosis and treatment area, and the other is the living area. The first floor diagnosis and treatment area, seven rooms, such as diagnosis and treatment room, propaganda classroom and observation room, were cleaned neatly, the remote diagnosis and treatment system waited for the call online in real time, and the commonly used drugs for reducing fever and relieving cough in the pharmacy were well prepared.

　　Chongqing clearly requires coordination in the prevention and control of epidemic situation in urban and rural communities. Adhere to the "moving forward" and strengthen care services for key groups such as "one old and one small" and "one trapped and one disabled".

　　A team of family doctors and village doctors in Wushan County, Chongqing, went to the door to check and evaluate the health of key personnel before, and made a closer observation of relatively serious personnel. Zhang Liao, director of guandu town Central Health Center in Wushan County, said: "During the Spring Festival, more than half of our medical staff were on duty, and the hospital always kept an emergency team, and the fever clinic was waiting for 24 hours."

　　In Anping County, Hengshui City, Hebei Province, in order to meet the needs of residents for medical treatment and provide timely health consultation and medication guidance, the health and health departments set up 245 family patrol teams, covering all 230 administrative villages and 15 communities in the county. The members of the team are composed of township or community cadres, village or community cadres, and grassroots medical staff to carry out home follow-up services.

　　Rural clinics and health centers "don’t close"

　　"This year’s Spring Festival obviously feels popular and lively." Tian Quanbin and Sheng Airong, doctors from Xiaowang Village, Tiankou Township, Xihua County, Henan Province, said, "There are more people coming back from holidays, wearing masks, washing hands frequently, gathering less and ventilating more. Most villagers are familiar with these epidemic prevention knowledge. I hope everyone can protect themselves and spend a healthy year. "

　　Tian Quanbin and Sheng Airong have lived and worked here for 27 years. This rural health clinic guards the health of more than 2,800 villagers. Before the Spring Festival, the clinic and the village committee have arranged the situation of the key people in the village.

　　The reporter visited and learned that many village clinics and township center hospitals "don’t fight" during the Spring Festival holiday. They publicized epidemic prevention knowledge to the villagers through WeChat groups and loudspeakers, and at the same time went to the village to send medicines to doctors.

　　"There are medicines for relieving fever and pain, relieving cough and asthma, as well as some masks and antigen detection reagents. If you feel unwell, you must contact the hospital in time." Yan Daxin, a doctor from guandu town Central Health Center in Wushan County, Chongqing, came to the home of Yan Xianjun, a villager in Yanglin Village before the festival, and sent the 75-year-old man a "health package" of epidemic prevention love. Then he carefully measured his blood pressure, blood sugar and blood oxygen. It is understood that Wushan County, Chongqing has given free "health packages" to the elderly over 60 years old in batches, and distributed more than 100,000 "health packages" by relying on community grid workers and village cadres.

　　Follow Li Yongan, Dean of Tiankou Township Health Center, into the pharmacy, where the commonly used antipyretic and cough medicine has been reserved for three weeks. "More than ten days before the Spring Festival, the number of fever clinics has dropped to two or three people a day." Li Yongan said that during the Spring Festival, they should be on duty in hospitals, and strengthen communication with 30 village doctors in 17 village clinics under their jurisdiction. After discovering cases, they can seek medical treatment in time according to individual conditions, and if necessary, they can contact city and county hospitals to organize remote consultation, or refer them according to the graded diagnosis and treatment mechanism.

　　"Village clinics and township health centers are the first pass for epidemic prevention in rural areas. By integrating medical resources in counties, townships and villages in advance, they will play a linkage role and build a solid epidemic prevention barrier for rural areas." Li Yongan said. (Reporter Liu Yuanyuan, Xu Hongyi, Han Chaoyang, Zhao Jiale)

Xiaonan heard that this winter is very cold, but Xiaonan is still very lucky, not only active in warm areas, but also talking with animals all the time! Love! Love (Xiao Nan is by no means a single bird! ), hugging little lions in South Africa, hooking up with slow sloths in the Amazon rainforest, and going deep into the forests of Indonesia to find orangutans. ……

However, many things are not as simple as imagined, just as even the best couples still have misunderstandings and contradictions with each other. As a common good friend of animals and human beings, Xiaonan often faces the question of "stepping on two boats with one foot".

-For example, in the Amazon rainforest, Xiaonan found many things, which are much more complicated than expected. If you don’t believe me, you can see how Mr. Huang, who is with Xiao Nan, "struggles internally" in the following article.

"This is not the real Amazon rainforest. Look around, there are low shrubs and tall trees have disappeared. "

With the roar of the motor of the small wooden boat and the agitation of the Amazon river, pointing to the "forest" on both sides of the strait that tourists are moved by, our orientation has made us sigh like this. He has been to the depths of the Amazon river basin, where the trees are towering, and the banks can see flying macaws and drinking leopards.

In our location, around Iquidos, the capital city of the Amazon rainforest region in Peru, such forests and animals no longer exist because of logging and human activities.

Trees along the Amazon River are no longer "towering" | Huang Hongxiang　

The indigenous people here have also lived a modern life. They will only take off their clothes when tourists arrive and perform the gesture of "primitive tribe". After work, they will put on T-shirts to watch TV and soak in bars.

Amazon rainforest is the largest tropical rainforest with the richest biodiversity in the world. It is called the lung of the earth. 60% of this rainforest is in Brazil and 13% in Peru. From Peru’s point of view, 60% of the country is Amazon rainforest.

It is saying goodbye to us: the rainforest is disappearing rapidly because of various reasons such as timber industry, oil exploitation, road development and rubber planting; River water has been polluted more and more because of mining and chemical industry. A large number of wildlife smugglers grab wild animals from the forest and sell them to zoos and local tyrants all over the world.

Of course, on the way to say goodbye, the rainforest is not without some struggles, even if it is twisted and wriggling, not too elegant. And this may also be the epitome of the global animal protection and environmental protection.

Eco-tourism: disturbing animals or keeping them at gunpoint?

Trying to tear off Teman’s Goma map | Huang Hongxiang

Goma leaned the wooden boat against the shore, struggled to pull a rich vine three or four meters high among the trees, and finally pulled it off.

"See the sloth’s face?" Goma pointed to the sloth that was exposed because the cover was torn off and began to crawl higher slowly, and smiled at us innocently.

Goma is the local guide of a leading travel agency on an internationally renowned travel platform, and this company takes "responsible travel" as its publicity highlight.

During the three-day and two-night trip, he dutifully helped tourists to see as many animals as possible at close range and gain a deeper and three-dimensional jungle experience: he would feed bananas to wild monkeys with long wooden poles, so that they could come to the branches and leaves of the river bank from the high treetops;

He will grab the small caiman in the water with his bare hands during the night flight and take photos for tourists. He will also help tourists catch piranhas and bring them back to the camp to become the food of the guests.

Follow Goma to catch small crocodiles at night | Huang Hongxiang

Seeing the palm-sized piranha being strung on a stick and its mouth moving, I felt a little uncomfortable. I remembered the experience of another ecological trip in Ecuador six years ago: the guide caught piranha, took pictures of us and then threw it back into the water.

At that time, I wondered whether these fish could survive even if they were put back into the water, and whether this kind of eco-tourism that would bring harm to wild animals was "ecological" enough, or compared with the "pot calling the kettle black" that directly hunted animals.

At that time, I desperately wanted to maximize the interests of animals. Therefore, in my critical eyes, eco-tourism is not good enough. The most "ecological" way should be that humans should never set foot in this rainforest. Otherwise, even the floating gasoline on the river brought by ships, the huge roar of motors and the activities when tourists approach may be disturbing animals.

Compared with the trip in Ecuador, I saw a series of great disturbances to animals, and my doubts were even stronger this time.

Will the initial intention of eco-tourism be gradually forgotten in commercialization, or are we slipping from "fifty steps" to "one hundred steps" unconsciously?

I returned to Iquidos from the jungle with doubts and met the hospitable boss in a Chinese restaurant. He told us that the Chinese bought a lot of jaguar teeth here. It is illegal for Chinese to hunt jaguars, so they just tell the aborigines who have the right to hunt legally that they are willing to buy them, and the aborigines will hunt them.

In the past, the aborigines only killed jaguars when they were threatened, and the amount of hunting was very small, maybe one or two a year. Today, however, nearly 100 leopards in this area have become tiger teeth in the hands of Chinese to ward off evil spirits and tiger whips to strengthen yang every year. In a few years, the jaguar tooth has changed from a few sols (one sol is about two yuan) to a few hundred or even thousands of sols.

"The number is getting smaller and smaller," local hunters will sigh. Then they stepped up hunting, because "staying there will be killed by others and the money will be earned by others."

"We used to kill a lot of monkeys, tigers and cats and other animals here. Today, because of tourism, we kill a lot less. After all, we can make money by showing tourists." Goma told us.

In his village, because of the eco-hotel where he works, the income of villagers increases every year. In order to please tourists, the aborigines have to say that they are disturbing wild animals on a scale different from that of hundreds of years ago, but at least they are no longer hunting wild animals.

Breeding and export of wild animals

Turning animals into playthings or replacing illegal capture?

Brother Yu counted the capybara in the yard and proudly told us that he exported 80% of the legal capybara in China Zoo and Mengchong Paradise.

Yuge, from Shanghai, is in his forties this year. He runs the top three local animal export companies in Iquidos, Peru. What he has done is to export all kinds of capybara, monkeys, macaws, reptiles and tropical fish from the Amazon rainforest to China Zoo and Mengchong Paradise. His family has a long-tailed tiger cat, a wild animal with beautiful fur in the Amazon rainforest.

Holding brother Yu’s long-tailed tiger cat

Zoos, cute pet parks and animal trade are sensitive topics for international animal protectors today. A few years ago, Zimbabwe sold a batch of baby elephants to China Zoo. Although it was legal, it still attracted many people’s criticism. It is criticized by many people to take the elephant away from his parents and send it to other distant villages for people to enjoy, but it is easy to die in the process.

"Boycott zoos, aquariums, contact with animals and taking photos with animals" is the political correctness of many environmentalists today.

But is it really that simple?

According to Yu Ge, their animal sources must be legal: they were seized from poachers, or they were rescued wild animals that could not be released. After getting these animals, they will breed and export their offspring. These animals have a strict numbering and recording system, and the legal export of an animal takes up to half a year.

The tortoise map that Yuge’s family will import to China in the future | Huang Hongxiang

Faced with the demand for animals from zoos and even private buyers all over the world, such a system is bound to be in short supply. Brother Yu knew an American who was in Iquidos and focused on raising snakes. He had an extremely rare jade tree, and after waiting for 20 years, he could not find another one to pair with, so it was hard to say when he could breed.

Even so, he refused to buy jadeite trees from illegal sources.

Therefore, in fact, there is a large amount of illegal animal trade today: smugglers directly buy wild animals from local people and smuggle them around the world. The price of such animals may be a fraction of that of legal animals, and the delivery cycle is very short, so it can be delivered quickly.

Wildlife trade is the third largest illegal trade in the world after drugs and guns.

Different from drugs, the punishment of animal trade is still very light in many countries today, and it can often be fined. Smugglers are the least afraid of fines-an animal can be bought for hundreds of dollars in its place of origin, and it can be sold for tens of thousands of dollars or more in China. It’s no big deal to smuggle ten times and get caught several times.

"Today, China is the largest market for wildlife in the world, and a large number of wildlife are smuggled in the China market." Brother Yu told us that in fact, legal animal traders are on the opposite side of illegal animal traders-although no animal protection organization has ever cooperated with him to fight.

Many animal protection organizations and their sponsors are afraid of being seen standing with controversial people, even if cooperation can better protect animals.

Today, many animal breeding, traders and breeding bases have become white washing places for poaching animals. Brother Yu said that he didn’t do those illegal things, but only bred wild animals legally and sent them to zoos and cute pet parks to get close to people and play.

Not to mention whether it is really legal will be questioned, even if it is legal, because of many problems such as animal trafficking, contact, photo taking, etc., the business itself is also condemned.

How high a threshold should we set for animal protection?

As an investigator of international wildlife products trade, and as an educator concerned about animal protection and nature education, many people have asked me many questions about zoos, animal trade, animal contact and animal protection.

I always say that these things are very complicated and difficult to sum up in one word, and it is best not to let your existing prejudices stop you from hearing different voices.

Many people always like to see people and things from a black-and-white perspective: those who buy and sell ivory are heinous criminals; It is inhuman to take tourists hunting; Close contact with wild animals is to turn animals into playthings.

Photo taken with a sloth of a family in Amazon rainforest | sherry

I don’t support these behaviors, but after seeing the complicated aspects of the world, I am worried about oversimplifying judgment.

The world is not black and white, and we need to remember more that what we see may not be all. We need to listen more to what we don’t hear and understand people and things we don’t understand-especially when we want to find a solution to the problem instead of just "condemning" ourselves.

Smith, a friend of mine in South Africa, is engaged in "volunteer tourism". Every year, he sends a large number of volunteers from all over the world to a big cat base to get in close contact with several lions in the base. Those lions lost their ability to return to the wild because they were taken away by poachers and sold to zoos or rich people’s homes, and became pet lions accustomed to living with people, even after being rescued.

Walking with KAI, a little male lion growing up beside human beings | Banete

Many people attacked him, thinking that what he did violated the rules of animal protection-wild animals should not be in close contact with people and become pets and playthings.

Smith, who considers himself an animal protector, is very wronged:

"In a perfect world, people and wild animals should certainly not be in close contact. But the world is not perfect. Humans are constantly destroying the habitats of animals and hunting them. In this case, these individual animals have been unable to return to the wild for various reasons. Why can’t they interact with people on the premise of their comfortable life and play a certain educational role, so as to cultivate people’s love for animals, especially those who don’t like animals that much? Today, you don’t let people who don’t like animals themselves touch animals, saying that it violates animal protection ethics, but one day he may directly hunt animals or take away their habitats! "

Interview with Smith and park staff in South Africa

Smith called these animal protectionists Purist. These people live in their own world, have a lot of "should", speak a lot of terms, and judge others with these moral superiority, but they don’t realize that those who participate in their activities and recognize their propaganda are not those who would buy illegal animal products and hurt animals. They have long been separated from the public who really decide the fate of many animals in the world.

"They feel good about themselves, but they don’t really contribute much, because they just move in their own small circle."

Smith feels that every year, for various reasons, including the reason that it is not particularly "correct" to take photos with lions, international visitors who come to South Africa gradually like animals and develop the concept of animal protection in the project, which is a real contribution.

Close contact between the students and the little lion in the big cat park | ansen

"People who feel that there is something wrong with my project, please come to investigate in person to understand the specific situation. If there is any problem, please report it. Don’t come and have never been here. If you don’t investigate, you will be self-righteous."

He was a little angry with an American woman who tirelessly "reminded" everyone not to go to his project on facebook, because the American woman who said that their project was not good at all had never been to their base for investigation, or even to South Africa.

What Smith said resonated in my heart.

In the past few years, especially in the investigation, I have come into contact with too many people who are completely different from the "animal protectionists": they don’t like animals, don’t care about animal protection, and turn a blind eye to or even hate the education of various animal protection organizations. Therefore, the propaganda and education of animal protection organizations can’t touch them, but they are directly related to many behaviors that bring harm to animals and the environment.

In order to let them enter the world of animal protection, we may need to provide a low enough threshold-sometimes, the activities that can attract them are to feed the baby elephant, kiss the giraffe and take a walk with the lion.

Students walking with the little lion KAI Figure | Wang Zhen

Of course, a certain degree of guidance and education is needed in this process, and there are still many precautions in these activities, but at least, they came to us and gave us a chance to talk to them.

In the field of animal protection, today I have seen too many condemnations about zoos, contact with animals and taking photos with animals. However, I can’t deny my past:

When I was a very young child, it was precisely because my grandfather took me to the small zoo in my hometown where animals were kept in a small space every day and went to Mengchong Paradise to get in touch with all kinds of animals that I gradually became so fond of animals. If traced back, it may be the source of my ivory investigation, the establishment of Zhongnan House and my continued active work in animal protection.

Many western animal protectionists will tell me that people should go directly to Africa and South America to see wild animals, and zoos should not exist at all.

The truth seems right, but the question is, how many people have such economic strength and opportunities?

If such a small zoo and a cute pet paradise didn’t exist according to the wishes of Purist, I probably wouldn’t have the opportunity to get in touch with those animals and like them like those rich children living in developed areas.

It is definitely wrong to disturb wild animals, but when I hold a sloth, its body temperature makes me really feel warm and heart-warming, which is beyond my reach; It is probably wrong to turn wild animals into playthings, but when touching capybara, I really feel more impulse to protect these lovely animals.

Walking with elephants | Zhou Yuecheng

In wildlife protection, if zero step is to keep human beings completely away from the world of wildlife, what is the first step for the zoo to trade with legal animals? What is the first step to disturb the tourism of wild animals to some extent? What is the first step to play with the raised wild animals? What’s the first step in legal hunting? What is the next step in the illegal wildlife trade and mass killing of wildlife? In an imperfect world, if we can’t stop at all, where should we stop?

I haven’t been able to form an answer yet, and I don’t want to form an answer so soon, because the world is not black and white, and I still have too much to learn and understand humbly.

The plane climbed slowly, watching the Amazon jungle that I dreamed of when I was a child gradually go away, and I couldn’t help but get lost in thought about all kinds of contradictions. I also know that there is not much time left for us to meditate. Farewell, even if it is long, the Amazon rainforest is actually leaving us-maybe once she turns around, she just disappeared while waving.
