CCTV News:In recent years, the People’s Navy has had hundreds of sub-ships and more than 100 sorties of aircraft for offshore training on the island chain. Further test the offshore combat plan and tactics training method of the main warships, and enhance the joint combat capability of the troops in the offshore.

　　　　　　 At the beginning of this year, a long-distance training formation consisting of naval ships Hefei, Yuncheng, Changbai Mountain and Honghu conducted long-distance joint training in the South China Sea, the Western Pacific Ocean and the Central Pacific Ocean for 34 days with a track of 10,000 nautical miles.

　　　　　　 Yin Zhuo, a military expert: "Because the waters we cover are getting wider and wider, it should be said that our generation of captains are very familiar with the waters we will fight in the future, and we are gradually expanding our training waters, which will cover all our future possible combat waters."

　　　　　　 Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the construction and development of the navy has entered a golden age. In 2018 alone, the navy organized more than ten batches of dozens of sub-ships and dozens of aircraft to go out to the island chain for offshore training. On April 20, 2018, a sea area in the western Pacific surged, and a J -15 carrier-based fighter jet rushed out of the bow of the Liaoning ship and flew into the blue sky. On the vast ocean, an aircraft carrier formation consisting of a Liaoning ship and several escort ships launched a "back-to-back" comprehensive offensive and defensive confrontation exercise with the blue missile destroyers Jinan and Changchun.

　　　　　　 Hujie, the captain of the Navy Changchun Ship, said: "I participated in this offshore combat training with the formation of the aircraft carrier, providing air defense tasks for the aircraft carrier, and also undertaking the tasks of anti-submarine and anti-ship operations. Our current actual combat training should be said to have shifted from offshore defense to offshore defense, and the biggest change is that the region has changed, the strength has also changed, the training content has also changed, and the training methods have also changed. "

　　　　　　 Lu Qiangqiang, deputy captain of the Liaoning Navy, said: "In the past few years, we have achieved many firsts, including taking off and landing at night, including the long voyage out of the island chain, including the actual use of weapons. At present, I think there should be a big breakthrough in the training of carrier-based aircraft, formation cooperation training and so on. I believe that in the near future, we can see that a relatively mature aircraft carrier formation can complete various tasks entrusted by superiors. "

　　　　　　 At the end of 2017, the navy organized live-fire confrontation exercises in the relevant sea and airspace of the Yellow Sea and the Bohai Sea. The participating forces were mainly navies in various theaters, including some forces of the Air Force, covering various combat platforms of aviation, submarines, surface ships and coastal defense forces.

　　　　　　 Ai Peng, captain of the Navy Huangshan Ship: "Winning or losing is not a key point we should consider now. The real key point is what our actual combat capability can achieve, which is the most concerned by each of our commanders. So how do we improve, that is, think through each exercise. How do we solidify or upgrade this ability? This is to be improved in the subsequent specialization and refinement. "

"I am a veteran, and I must go at this time!" Facing the turbulent flood, Wu Keyu, a cadre of retired military affairs bureau in Luanping County, Chengde City, Hebei Province, who has been in length of military service for 16 years, wiped the mud on his face and said firmly in a hoarse voice.

If the disaster is like an order, the mission will be achieved. The county veterans affairs bureau quickly organized forces to go to the front line. In the village where the road was washed away, the rescue team composed of retired soldiers waded through the water with only one safety rope, and walked back and forth for more than 20 kilometers for 12 hours in a row, transferring 37 trapped people to safety, including 8 elderly people and 5 children. When the last old man was carried back to the resettlement site, Zhao Jianjun, a retired soldier, had already been soaked in muddy water, and his boots were deeply scratched. "Everything should be done. If you have been a soldier, you have to rush ahead." Zhao Jianjun said.

The militia emergency forces organized by the County People’s Armed Forces Department have also become the backbone of the rescue. In the middle of the night of July 28th, 40 backbone militia members formed a material delivery team to carry bread, drinking water and other living materials on foot in the muddy mountain road. "The road ahead has slipped, so follow me around!" Chloe Wang, the captain of the militia, took a flashlight to explore the road ahead, and his trouser legs were cut by branches. After a four-hour trek, they finally sent the second batch of relief supplies to the affected people in Mayingzi Manchu Township. On the same day, another militia rescue team delivered materials to the affected areas in three batches, with a total journey of 45 kilometers, which sent much-needed living security to the temporarily disconnected villages.

In the settlement of Hongqi Town, the backbone militia became "waiters" to help build temporary tents and distribute relief materials, and specially prepared hot water and medicines for the elderly and children.

"Seeing these comrades wearing camouflage uniforms, my heart is practical." Uncle Li, a villager who had just been transferred, said that the militia not only helped him grab important documents from home, but also patiently calmed his emotions.

Up to now, the retired military affairs system cadres and backbone militia in Luanping County have transferred more than 200 people, transported 12 tons of materials and participated in road dredging for 3 kilometers. These figures, once dressed in military uniforms, continued to write loyalty with persistence and dedication in the face of public opinion, becoming the most reliable "guardians" in the hearts of the masses.

　　According to the statistics released by the Pan American Health Organization, the overall incidence of dengue fever has been on the rise in many Latin American countries recently. Since 2023, the number of dengue cases in some countries in Central America, the Andean region and Caribbean countries including Cuba and Dominica has increased significantly, and some parts of some countries have declared a state of emergency.

　　Up to now, Peru has reported more than 76,000 cases of dengue fever, including 82 deaths. The number of cases of dengue fever in Lima, the capital, has increased fivefold compared with 2022, and the Peruvian government has declared a 120-day state of emergency in 20 regions. 333 people have died of dengue fever in Brazil this year. There are more than 20,000 cases of dengue fever in Bolivia, including 69 deaths. La Paz, the capital of Bolivia, issued an epidemiological red alert after the dengue fever epidemic expanded. Argentina has reported more than 93,000 confirmed cases of dengue fever and 56 deaths. Colombia has recorded over 28,000 cases of dengue fever this year. In addition, Costa Rica, Panama and Honduras reported 974 cases, 1,278 cases and 2,803 cases of dengue fever respectively.

　　Dengue fever is an acute viral infection spread by mosquitoes, and its typical symptoms include fever, headache and joint pain. Dengue fever is divided into common dengue fever and hemorrhagic dengue fever, and the latter has a higher mortality rate. The Pan American Health Organization warned that in the hottest and wettest months, the spread of dengue fever tends to expand. Maria Carmen, executive secretary of the Andean Health Organization, pediatrician and public health expert, believes that climate change makes the temperature higher. "The shortage of tap water and the imperfect drainage system force people in some areas to store clean water, which provides a favorable environment for the breeding of mosquitoes."

　　In some Latin American countries, the primary health care force and medical facilities are weak, which makes the treatment of severe dengue patients face challenges. According to the Ombudsman’s Office of Peru, in areas with high incidence of dengue fever, medical institutions are overwhelmed, the actual nursing demand is eight times that of nursing capacity, and some drugs are in short supply.

　　In order to control the spread of dengue fever, many health departments have taken emergency measures to deal with it. The Bolivian government has formulated a plan to fight dengue fever, carry out community cleaning and set up mobile medical points. Argentina’s health department has carried out large-scale mosquito control work throughout the country, and adopted anti-mosquito measures such as installing gauze. Peruvian health and epidemic prevention personnel go door-to-door to disinfect, publicize dengue fever prevention and control knowledge to the public, and distribute mosquito repellent supplies free of charge. Rosa Gutierrez palomino, Minister of Health of Peru, has asked people to take emergency preventive measures and follow the recommendations of the health department. At the same time, the country has allocated 35 million soles (1 yuan RMB is about 0.53 soles) to deal with this public health emergency.

　　　　　　 CCTV News:In the peace process in Myanmar in recent years, China has been actively persuading and promoting talks, assisting the Myanmar government to build a communication platform with many ethnic minority local armed forces in northern Myanmar, and vigorously promoting these armed groups to participate in peace talks.

　　　　　　 At the 3rd Panglong Conference of the 21st Century and the Federal Peace Conference in Myanmar, which started on 11th, with the coordination and promotion of China, local armed representatives of seven ethnic groups in northern Myanmar attended the conference.

　　　　　　 The Binlong Conference specially set up the 3+4 talks. Among the seven ethnic local armed forces that have not signed a national ceasefire agreement with the government, the De ‘ang ethnic armed forces, the Kokang Allied Forces and the Rakhine ethnic armed forces, which have not been officially recognized by the government, and the UWSA, the Kachin Independence Army, the North Shan Army and the Fourth Special Zone of Shan State, which have been recognized by the government, have all started direct dialogue with the Myanmar government and military.

　　　　　　 Jiang Zhiming, the representative of the peace talks in the Fourth Special Zone of Shan State, said: "We feel that all of us have come here to work together for peace in Myanmar. This is a successful start."

　　　　　　 Zou Mo, vice chairman of Kachin Independent Armed Forces, said: "At present, we believe that the most important difficulty to be overcome in the peace talks is to reach mutual understanding, the second is the difference between the two sides in defining some concepts, and the third is how to sign a national ceasefire agreement. I believe that only by solving these three difficulties can the peace talks continue to advance. "

　　　　　　 This series of talks is an important impetus to the realization of peace in northern Myanmar, which indicates that the Myanmar government has taken an important step in building a peace system in northern Myanmar. In order to realize this round of dialogue, the Special Envoy for Asian Affairs of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China went to various places to assist in communication and mediation, which played an important role in the success of the conference.

　　　　　　 Sun Guoxiang, Special Envoy for Asian Affairs of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China, said: "This time, the number of ethnic minorities from the north is the largest, so they also expressed their aspirations and hoped to have more contacts with the government and the military. We hope to see the increase of such contacts and mutual trust. China will, as always, continue to play the role of persuading and promoting talks and help them build a platform for communication. "

　　1.54 billion yuan

　　In addition to ancient buildings and transportation infrastructure, the project achievements have been applied to many other livelihood projects, such as the isolation and reinforcement projects of important buildings such as primary and secondary schools and hospitals, and the construction projects of high-rise isolation residential areas. There are more than 60 projects of various categories, with a total construction area of about 3.36 million square meters and direct economic benefits of 1.54 billion yuan.

　　Key words of "people’s livelihood" in science and technology awards ③

　　2021 is the 45th anniversary of the Tangshan earthquake. In the past half century, in order to cope with the challenges caused by the earthquake and ensure the safety of people’s lives and property, the scientific and industrial circles have made great efforts. Since 1990s, isolation has gradually become one of the important concepts in the field of disaster reduction and resistance.

　　At the 2020 National Science and Technology Awards Conference held a few days ago, the project "Key Technology and Engineering Application of High Performance Isolation Building Series" won the second prize of the National Science and Technology Progress Award. The project was jointly completed by Beijing University of Civil Engineering and Architecture, Southeast University, China Institute of Building Science, Beijing Institute of Architectural Design and Research, China Institute of Building Standards Design and Research, Beijing Infrastructure Investment Co., Ltd. and Jiangsu Hongji New Energy Saving Technology Co., Ltd. The appraisal by the expert committee shows that the achievements of the project have reached the international advanced level, among which the design method of high-performance isolation buildings and high-performance isolation devices have reached the international leading level. The results of the project have been applied to many major projects.

　　What is isolation, how to understand the "high performance" in the project, and which major livelihood projects have applied high performance isolation technology? The reporter of Science and Technology Daily contacted a number of relevant units and asked them to give professional answers to these questions.

　　The core feature of seismic isolation is "being flexible and being rigid"

　　"Isolation is like stepping on a building ‘ Roller skates ’ 。” At the exhibition of application technology achievements of disaster prevention, mitigation and relief held in July 2021, the staff from Zhen ‘an Technology, a manufacturer of seismic isolation, introduced the characteristics of seismic isolation technology to the reporter of Science and Technology Daily. "The traditional concept of building earthquake resistance is to play hardball, ‘ Make rigidity with rigidity ’ The main means is to increase the physical strength of the members, which will lead to stronger earthquake action of the superstructure. The core concept of seismic isolation technology is ‘ Take Roukegang ’ Isolation devices, such as rubber bearings and dampers, are installed between the foundation or substructure of the building and the superstructure to reduce the seismic energy input to the superstructure, which can reduce the seismic action to 1/4 to 1/8. "

　　The physical model demonstrated in the field shows that when an earthquake occurs, the superstructure with isolation device only moves in parallel with a relatively small amplitude, while the building without isolation technology shakes much more violently. "This is the basic principle of isolation." The staff introduced.

　　However, this simple model is not enough to present the complete connotation of isolation technology. In reality, the application of technology must deal with all kinds of complex needs and scenes, such as high-rise residential buildings, hospitals, subways and historical buildings, which all have different conditions and requirements for isolation technology. In the design and construction of isolated buildings, there have been four major problems in the world for a long time, such as lack of applicability of design theory, lack of systematicness of design technology, lack of efficiency of key devices and lack of standardization of quality control. Therefore, the project "Key Technology and Engineering Application of High Performance Isolation Building Series" came into being, aiming at solving a series of key problems about high performance isolation technology.

　　There are both theoretical breakthroughs and practical applications

　　In view of the four long-standing problems, the project has mainly realized four innovations, namely, the design theory of high-performance isolation structure, the multi-objective integrated design technology of isolation structure, a series of high-performance isolation devices with adjustable functions, and the quality control technology of isolation building construction, and edited a series of standards.

　　"Our project lasted for more than 20 years and produced a lot of results, with rich content." In an exclusive interview with Science and Technology Daily, Guo Tong, the second winner of the award-winning project and a professor at the School of Civil Engineering of Southeast University, explained that the project has published 166 papers, won 30 invention patents and published 5 works, and the results have been applied to more than 60 important projects.

　　"For example, we have developed a variety of high-performance isolation bearings, such as rubber bearings with ultra-low modulus and high damping, adjustable and low-frequency sensitive composite isolation bearings, and new tension-controllable isolation bearings. In addition to bearings, there are other devices, such as adjustable viscous dampers and large deformation flexible pipes, which are our achievements in device research and development. However, the project results are not only the device, but also the design theory, design technology and quality standards. " Guo Tong added.

　　As the second completion unit of the award-winning project, Southeast University took the lead in completing a number of project achievements, covering the main aspects of the above four innovations. In addition to innovation in design and theory, the project has many achievements in engineering application and promotion, and many of these achievements have already landed and become a part of people’s livelihood projects in daily life.

　　It has been widely used in people’s livelihood projects

　　"Add the bottom" to the ancient building and "add the cover" to the subway … … Among the application achievements of the project "Key Technology and Engineering Application of High Performance Isolation Building Series", there are many such "ingenious pens".

　　In 1933, at the initiative of Cai Yuanpei and others, the Humanities Museum of the National Central Museum was completed in Nanjing, which is today’s Nanjing Museum. With the help of seismic isolation technology, this 80-year-old national key cultural relics protection building has become more "young" — — With the advanced technologies such as integral lifting (3m) and seismic isolation and reinforcement, the seismic level of the building has been effectively improved, the appearance and features have not been damaged, and the internal space of the building has also been expanded, giving cultural protection units and visitors more margin. After the completion of the project, the Disaster Prevention Research Center of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development included this reinforcement of Nanjing Museum as a classic case and also selected it as the cover of the published series.

　　In another famous historical and cultural city, Beijing, thousands of miles away, the achievements of isolation technology also show their talents. Compared with Nanjing, some natural and human conditions in Beijing are more complicated: being in an earthquake-prone area, earthquakes have been frequent since ancient times; It has the longest subway system in the world; There is a large population and the intensive land use of transportation hubs is tight. Seismic isolation technology plays a key role in the construction of high-performance buildings. In Beijing Metro Line 6 Kunyufu, Line 8 Park Yuefu and Line 16 Beian River Cover, the key technologies of complex high-rise isolation structures have been popularized and applied, with an application area of 890,000 square meters, which is the largest cover isolation building complex in the world at present.

　　In addition to the above-mentioned subway superstructure isolation building, there is also a major infrastructure project in Beijing that adopts the project results. According to the data provided by China Institute of Building Standards Design and Research, the fifth completion unit of the project, the national industry standard of Flexible Pipeline for Building Isolation edited by this unit has been applied to the high-performance isolation device of Beijing Daxing Airport. Daxing Airport, located on the southern extension line of Beijing’s central axis, is the largest single isolation building in the world at present. A total of 1,152 sets of isolation devices are used in the terminal building, and the rubber isolation bearings used are the highest in China, both in volume and tonnage of a single bearing.

　　A major feature of Daxing Airport is that different means of transportation can transfer at the same station, and the negative second floor of the terminal is used for high-speed rail, subway and intercity trains. The high-speed entry and exit of trains will produce strong vibration and large wind pressure, which is also one of the difficulties that isolation technology in China has overcome.

　　Guo Tong said that in addition to ancient buildings and transportation infrastructure, the results of the project are also applied to many other livelihood projects, such as the isolation and reinforcement projects of important buildings such as primary and secondary schools and hospitals, and the construction projects of high-rise isolation residential areas, such as the Tianyang Innovation City project in Yanjiao, Hebei Province, with a total area of about 1.14 million square meters, and the Xichang Territory project in Sichuan Province, which is located near the fault in the 9-degree zone (the earthquake amplification factor is 1.5). There are more than 60 projects of various categories, with a total construction area of about 3.36 million square meters and direct economic benefits of 1.54 billion yuan.

　　According to the data of Sichuan Seismological Bureau, as early as 2015, the total number of buildings applying isolation technology in China has exceeded 6,000, accounting for half of the world, more than 5,000 in Japan, ranking first in the world. The staff of Zhen ‘an Science and Technology said that at present, there are more than 10,000 buildings applying isolation technology in China.

　　Guo Tong commented that as an efficient means of structural earthquake prevention, isolation technology has broad application prospects in the future. Technicians are still developing various isolation devices with excellent performance and expanding their application scope, contributing to improving the city’s disaster prevention capability.

In the circle of travelers, there is a popular saying: the ceiling of tourist scenery is Switzerland.

However, this sentence has another meaning: the expenses here are also at the top level. Switzerland ranks among the countries with high cost of living all the year round, and its currency, the Swiss franc, is also one of the strongest currencies in the world.

△ Although the cost of living is high, Zurich is also considered as one of the most livable cities in the world. (Photo/photo by Yu Yutao)

It is said that there is one millionaire in every 22 locals in Switzerland, and the per capita salary is equivalent to more than 55,000 yuan. If the monthly income is less than 25,000 RMB, it can already be classified as a low-income group.

Such a rich income naturally brings a very high level of consumption. Traveling here is not only a unique enjoyment for the eyes, but also a Du Jie for the wallet. When I went to Switzerland, I found that I would really be laughed at by myself.

There is no tip in Switzerland.

Almost everything is expensive.

Some people joked that Swiss prices are "the highest in the world", which is true.

Different from other European and American countries, there is basically no habit of tipping in Switzerland-according to the federal constitution, the service charge is already included in the consumer price in most places. You don’t have to worry that the waiter will bring inconvenience to yourself because he can’t get enough pay. Besides, everything in Switzerland is inseparable from money.

Among the ten cities with the highest cost of living in Europe in 2023 selected by Numbeo, a world-renowned data website, the top eight are firmly occupied by Switzerland. Among them, the most well-known places-Zurich, Geneva, Lucerne, Basel and Lugano are all on the list.

△ List of cities with the highest cost of living in Europe in 2023. (Figure/website screenshot)

According to statistics, the price level in Switzerland is 61.5% higher than the average level in the EU. Some bloggers have printed their own bills for buying the same products in Switzerland and Germany, and the prices are twice as different.

In Switzerland, seeing the numbers on the price tag often makes people feel their heart beat faster. On the first day I arrived, I felt the blow of high local prices. The first time I walked into a local restaurant, I thought I was in a "black shop".

For example, when I opened the menu, I found that a bowl of beef noodles costs nearly RMB in 200 yuan, a plate of spaghetti costs RMB in 230 yuan, and a cup of coffee costs RMB in 80 yuan. Even if you just want to eat two jiaozi, you may have swallowed more than 100 RMB with one bite.

I woke up after comparing many restaurants, and I really blamed it wrong-it turned out that every restaurant in Switzerland was a "black shop".

△ Network stem map: "What does the Swiss flag stand for? Most money and a little chocolate. " (Figure/website screenshot)

If you want to enjoy a Chinese meal, it is even more "bleeding". Order three ordinary home-cooked dishes, and you will receive a huge bill-Shenghui 600-700 yuan RMB when you check out.

In addition to eating, every trip in Switzerland is also a huge test of the wallet. As we all know, taking the Swiss railway is one of the best ways to enjoy the beautiful local scenery, and its public transportation is famous for its efficiency, punctuality and comfort.

But the "cost" is also very obvious: to buy the cheapest one-day transportation ticket, it will cost nearly 400 yuan RMB.

You know, this is the level of monthly ticket in most European cities outside Switzerland.

△ The world-famous Swiss railway has a sky-high fare. (Photo/photo by Yu Yutao)

It is more expensive to take a taxi here. According to the survey of Taxi2Airport, a global airport taxi booking platform, the taxi fare in Switzerland is unmatched in the world-measured by the average price per kilometer, it is as high as 175 yuan, almost twice that of Japan, the second place.

If you carry luggage, you have to pay an extra fee. Unless you plan to leave your luggage in the local area and wander alone.

Such high prices are unbearable for the well-paid Swiss people. Some Swiss people sarcastically said that high prices are the best weight-loss plan to help them keep fit. Anyway, wages will never keep up with the soaring prices.

Sitting by the lake in Zurich, a local frankly revealed to us the survival way of ordinary Swiss people-giving up restaurants and returning to their own kitchens. Just because of this, the prices are ridiculously expensive wherever people sit down and provide services. On weekends, they would rather drive for an hour or two to buy ingredients in neighboring cities than eat out at will.

Rich "low-key",

A Swiss who is "ostentatious"

If you think that wealthy Swiss don’t need to save money, it’s all wet.

It has long been popular and common for Swiss people to drive regularly to neighboring countries for shopping. In order to reduce the cost of living, some office workers even take the initiative to live in neighboring France or Germany for a long time, preferring to travel back and forth across borders twice a day rather than bear the high local prices.

Walking on the most prosperous banhoff street in Zurich, it’s hard for you to see local people wearing famous brands. On the contrary, people who walk their dogs in ordinary clothes on the street, or carefully choose cheap and good products in supermarkets, may be invisible rich.

In some life forums in Switzerland, there are many shopping guides about going to the borders of neighboring countries, including driving/transfer routes, where to park, and where to shop more cost-effectively.

Konstanz, a small town located on the border between Germany and Switzerland, welcomes a wave of Swiss people who come to shop specially every year. Although it takes several hours to drive, almost half of Swiss residents come here to shop at least once a year.

In addition to the price gap, shopping here can also enjoy the exchange rate difference between the euro and the Swiss franc. In addition, since Switzerland has not joined the European Union, Swiss residents can enjoy preferential tax refund policies in konstanz as long as the amount on a shopping list exceeds a certain amount.

What these residents came to buy was not any special items, but some simple necessities. According to a survey conducted by the German Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Swiss demand for shampoo and shower gel ranks first all the year round. Here, supermarkets specializing in selling sanitary washing products have opened one after another.

If you catch up with "Black Friday" or around Christmas, you can see the spectacular scene of a sea of people and collective passion consumption, which is no less than any top-stream scenic spot in China.

Even if the income is rich, the Swiss are used to living frugally-they always bring their own shopping bags when they go shopping in the supermarket and always have water bottles when they go out.

When friends communicate with each other, most of them will only send a box of chocolate or a bottle of wine or some flowers. If you give a picture album, it is already an "unusual" gift.

Even if guests are invited to be guests at home, the host family will never set out rich dishes, but "measure the belly to cook." Their purpose of hospitality is: it is better to eat seven points full and never leave food.

△ Friends bake firewood pizza at home. (Photo/vision china)

If it’s not enough to eat, at most, cook some macaroni temporarily and serve it with simple sauce. In the end, everyone should not only scrape the leftovers off the plate with bread, but also lick the plate clean. Only in this way can we be worthy of being a real Swiss.

No matter how exquisite the middle-class activities are in Switzerland, they have to be honest and simple. Swiss people who love hiking every day often call themselves "mountain people in the Alps". In order to save money, hikers often carry a big bag of sausages with them. When they are hungry, they will burn wood for a fire at a nearby barbecue spot, eat a few sticks, and then continue on their way.

△ Swiss Alps. (Photo/vision china)

The ubiquitous "stingy" style of Swiss nationals has made the government have to play an extremely spirit and be careful everywhere. For the construction of any public works, the Swiss are based on the principle of practicality, and they can save no more money. For those icing on the cake, the Swiss are completely dismissive.

In 2007, the city government of Basel planned to renovate the old concert hall in the city center. However, after the renovation plan was announced, it immediately met with a flood of opposition from the public for the simple reason that the new concert hall was "too big and too expensive".

In Switzerland,

Only then did I know that I couldn’t afford to eat.

Before I set out, I specially asked my friends who had visited Switzerland: What delicious food is there worth recommending? The result was unexpected, and most people couldn’t answer it.

Because it’s good enough to eat here. Want to eat better? That price is really unthinkable. It seems that the "gourmets" who are good at discovering food have come to Switzerland, and there is nothing they can do.

Although fondue cheese is known as the "national dish" of Switzerland, in fact, even many Swiss themselves feel that this dish is simply not worth mentioning in the food industry.

△ Cheese fondue with bread and gin. (Photo/vision china)

There are no precious ingredients in it, and there is no special practice. It just cooks cheese with white wine, garlic, ginger and pepper in a pot to make a rich cheese sauce and dip it in small pieces of bread. A little more extravagant is to serve it with sausage and French bread or lettuce.

When you just eat it, you will find it novel and interesting, but you will get tired of eating two more. After getting used to China’s hot pot, try Swiss hot pot again, and you can only say to yourself: So this can also be called hot pot?

In addition to cheese, there is also water paid by the restaurant with dry bread. Don’t think that as in China, a waiter will bring a pot of boiling tea as soon as you sit down.

Whether it is bottled water or sparkling water here, even if you just want to drink a glass of tap water, you must be prepared to pay for it. At this time, I can only comfort myself: "There is no way, rice must always be eaten, and money must be used sparingly."

Getting into the supermarket to solve the problem of eating has become the most economical way for tourists in Switzerland. Of course, every Chinese who has traveled in Switzerland will never forget the online celebrity roast chicken in the local supermarket, which is almost the "savior" of China’s stomach.

Although its taste is mediocre and its meat is meaty, it is rare in Switzerland to meet the taste of China population, and the price is only 5-6 Swiss francs (about equal to 50 yuan RMB), so it is hard for me to find anything wrong with it.

△ It costs 6.9 francs (approximately equivalent to 57 yuan RMB) to buy an ordinary cod bag locally in Switzerland, while the roast chicken in the supermarket is only 5.45 francs (approximately equivalent to 45 yuan RMB). (Photo/photo by Yu Yutao)

During our few days in Switzerland, we ate almost all the chicken legs and wings. So that after returning to China for a period of time, I couldn’t help shivering when I saw the chicken.

If you really want to improve your food, it may be the best and most affordable choice to find a fast food restaurant like McDonald’s or Burger King, although it will cost nearly 100 yuan to eat a basic set meal.

So that when I saw the "poor people’s meal" with a price of nearly three figures, I could only silently tell myself: "Switzerland is very good, save money and come back!"

　　"Enriching the social security fund with state-owned capital" has reached a new level.

　　On November 18th, the State Council issued the Implementation Plan for Transferring Part of State-owned Capital to Enrich the Social Security Fund (hereinafter referred to as the "Plan"), which included the central and local state-owned and state-controlled large and medium-sized enterprises and financial institutions in the transfer scope, and the transfer ratio was unified to 10% of the state-owned shares of enterprises, so as to make up for the gap of China’s basic old-age insurance fund through equity dividends.

　　The transfer of state-owned shares of central enterprises, entrusted by the State Council Social Security Fund will be responsible for centralized holding; The transferred state-owned shares of local enterprises shall be centrally held, managed and operated by wholly state-owned companies established by provincial people’s governments. The transferred state-owned shares may also be entrusted to the special account management of companies with state-owned capital investment and operation functions in this province (autonomous regions and municipalities).

　　The Third Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee and the Fifth Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee have clearly stated that "some state-owned capital should be transferred to enrich the social security fund". The report of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China further puts forward requirements for strengthening the construction of social security system. The issuance of this plan made people hear the sound of boots landing.

　　On the one hand, the aging of the population and the gap in pension funds that need to be filled, and on the other hand, the state-owned enterprises that are on the road of deepening reform. What impact will the transfer of state-owned capital into the social security fund and other stakeholders (hereinafter referred to as "stakeholders") have? Can it accelerate the process of mixed reform of state-owned enterprises and inject more vitality into state-owned enterprises?

　　From "reduction" to "transfer"

　　This is not the first time that the government has used the power of state-owned capital to contribute to the social security fund.

　　As early as 2001, the State Council issued the Interim Measures for the Administration of Reducing State-owned Shares to Raise Social Security Funds, which stipulated that all state-owned joint stock limited companies (including companies listed overseas) should sell state-owned shares at 10% of the financing amount and turn them over to the social security fund when issuing and issuing additional shares to public investors for the first time.

　　Eight years later, the Ministry of Finance, together with the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, the China Securities Regulatory Commission and the Social Security Fund, issued the Implementation Measures for Transferring Some State-owned Shares in the Domestic Securities Market to Enrich the National Social Security Fund, which stipulated that when a state-owned joint stock limited company went public for the first time, it would transfer 10% of the shares actually issued, and the shares would be held by the National Social Security Fund Council.

　　The transfer, the Ministry of Finance said, is to transfer some state-owned capital to enrich the social security fund, mainly for the equity of central and local enterprise groups, and generally does not involve listed companies.

　　From "reduction" to "transfer" and from "listed company" to "group company", experts think that the meaning is very different.

　　"For the transfer of listed companies, there is a question of whether the board of directors and the shareholders’ meeting agree or not, whether it is ‘ Voting by hand ’ Or ‘ Vote with your feet ’ Will trigger a strong reaction from the capital market. " Qi Yudong, a professor at the School of Economics and Business Administration of Beijing Normal University, believes that the effect of the transfer of group equity is quite different. "There is no question of whether other shareholders agree or not to allocate 10% of state-owned capital to the social security fund through administrative means."

　　This way of transferring state-owned capital shares is simpler, more direct and immediate to experts. Zheng Bingwen, director of the World Social Security Research Center of China Academy of Social Sciences, believes that the scope and volume of this transfer have greatly increased compared with the past.

　　According to the annual report (2016) issued by the Social Security Fund of the National Social Security Fund Council, the total assets of the social security fund were 2,042.328 billion yuan at the end of 2016. "If all the state-owned capital involved is transferred, the income of the social security fund is enough to exceed 10 trillion yuan." Zheng Bingwen estimated that "it can not only reduce the financial burden, but also help the stability of the system."

　　The purpose and use of this share transfer is more directional than in the past. According to the Proposal, the basic goal of equity transfer is to make up for the gap in the basic endowment insurance fund for enterprise employees.

　　The "deemed payment period" refers to the pension rights and interests formed by employees of state-owned enterprises and institutions under the original unit security system before the implementation of the reform of the basic old-age insurance system. Because the original unit security system has not accumulated contributions, the "transitional pension" generated by the "deemed payment period" is equivalent to the "pension debt" embedded in the basic old-age insurance system from the outside, forming a gap in the basic old-age insurance fund.

　　Some scholars have suggested that the gap caused by this historical reason should not be made up by raising the payment rate or transferring it to the next generation, but we can consider using the power of state-owned capital to make up the gap.

　　"It is a proper meaning for state-owned capital to be taken from the people and used by the people." Li Jin, a researcher at the Research Center for the Reform and Development of State-owned Enterprises of Renmin University of China, believes that from the current situation, pension funds in some areas have a large deficit, which has been filled by finance and is unsustainable in the long run. Transferring state-owned capital into social security can also let the whole people enjoy the fruits of the development of state-owned enterprises.

　　According to the Proposal, the the State Council entrusts the Social Security Fund to be responsible for centralized holding, separate accounting, assessment and supervision of the transferred state-owned shares of central enterprises. When conditions are ripe, with approval, the Social Security Fund can set up a pension management company to independently operate the transferred state-owned shares of central enterprises.

　　The transferred state-owned shares of local enterprises shall be centrally held, managed and operated by wholly state-owned companies established by provincial people’s governments. The transferred state-owned shares can also be entrusted to the special account management of companies with state-owned capital investment and operation functions in this province (autonomous regions and municipalities).

　　The data shows that the average annual investment return rate of the National Social Security Fund since its establishment is 8.37%, and the accumulated investment income is 822.731 billion yuan. Dong Keyong, secretary-general of the 50-member Forum on China’s Pension Finance and former dean of the School of Public Administration of China Renmin University, believes that the national social security fund is stable and suitable as the undertaker in terms of annualized rate of return.

　　In fact, before the implementation of the national plan, Shandong Province has become the first region to "eat crabs".

　　In 2015, Shandong Province issued the Plan of Enriching Social Security Fund by Transferring State-owned Capital of Provincial Enterprises, which requires 30% of the state-owned capital of 471 provincial state-owned enterprises (including state-owned capital in state-owned shareholding enterprises) to be transferred to enrich the provincial social security fund. And it is held by the Provincial Social Security Fund Council through one-time transfer.

　　Zheng Bingwen believes that Shandong’s pioneering efforts give a good reference to all localities, and the transfer of local state-owned assets greatly reduces the pressure on local finance and helps to make up for the current gap of pension funds.

　　Enterprises with strong competition are suitable for priority transfer.

　　For the progress of equity transfer, a two-step plan is given in the Plan.

　　The first step is to select some central enterprises and some provinces to carry out pilot projects this year, including 3-5 central enterprises and 2 central financial institutions. The second step is to transfer the state-owned shares of other qualified central management enterprises, enterprises run by central administrative institutions and central financial institutions in batches in 2018 and beyond on the basis of summing up the pilot experience. The people’s governments of all provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) are responsible for organizing and implementing the transfer of state-owned shares of local state-owned enterprises.

　　At present, the benefits of central enterprises and local state-owned enterprises have improved significantly. In the first three quarters of this year, central enterprises realized a total operating income of 19.1 trillion yuan, the best level in the same period in the past five years. From January to October, the economy of state-owned enterprises operated steadily and made progress, and their income and profits continued to grow rapidly.

　　According to Zhu Boshan, an expert on state-owned assets and general manager of Shanghai Tianqiang Management Consulting Co., Ltd., in the past, social security funds could obtain liquidity income through equity transfer of listed companies, but this time, through equity transfer of central enterprises and local state-owned enterprise groups, social security funds relied more on dividends during the three-year lock-up period. "Therefore, the corporate benefits of the transfer are particularly important."

　　Zhu Boshan believes that although the timetable is given in the "Proposal", from the perspective of efficiency, some enterprises with good benefits but monopoly nature are suitable for equity transfer earlier. Gao Minghua, director of the Research Center for Corporate Governance and Enterprise Development of Beijing Normal University, believes that the more competitive the enterprise, the more suitable it is to give priority to the transfer of equity. "Fully competitive industries that do not involve the national economy, people’s livelihood and national security can be transferred first, but industries with scarce resources like oil are not suitable for premature liberalization, otherwise it is easy to pursue profits excessively, resulting in over-exploitation of scarce resources."

　　The number of central enterprises is small, and the corporate governance structure is relatively clear. In comparison, many "zombie enterprises" exist in local state-owned enterprises, and they are being gradually cleaned up in the reform of state-owned enterprises. In Dong Keyong’s view, this is a gradual process. Therefore, the speed of local state-owned enterprises in the process of equity transfer will be slower than that of central enterprises. "There will be different ways in different places, which need to be adapted to local conditions. This transfer method is conducive to improving the governance level of state-owned enterprises."

　　Qi Yudong believes that the transfer of equity at the level of group companies can realize the diversification of property rights of the parent company. From the perspective of state-owned enterprise reform, property rights reform is an improvement. Zhu Boshan also believes that before the mixed reform of state-owned enterprises, it was more at the level of subsidiaries of central enterprises. In the future, social security funds will enter group companies to improve the monopoly situation, which will also help the implementation of mixed reform at the parent company level.

　　"The property right structure determines the governance structure, which in turn determines the company’s performance and value improvement." Qi Yudong pointed out that for a long time, a monopoly easily led to a monopoly, which in turn led to a monopoly. Starting from the reform of property rights, we can import new financial investors into state-owned companies.

　　Institutional investment enterprises such as pension funds have precedents abroad. Qi Yudong told China Youth Daily and Zhongqing Online reporter that in foreign countries, funds belong to new strategic investors, which can improve the property right structure of enterprises in the process of investing in enterprises, and then improve the corporate governance structure.

　　"But strategic investors and financial investors are different." Qi Yudong pointed out that from the current "Program", the government temporarily defined the social security fund as a financial investor. According to the Proposal, social security funds and wholly state-owned companies in various provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities), as financial investors, enjoy the right of income and disposal of state-owned shares, do not interfere in the daily production and operation management of enterprises, and generally do not send directors to enterprises. When necessary, directors may be sent to the enterprise upon approval.

　　In Zhu Boshan’s view, the scope of the enterprises transferred this time is very large, and the number is too large. It is really difficult for the undertaker to send people to each enterprise. However, when the enterprise loses money or has problems in its development strategy, it can consider sending people to the board of directors.

　　Qi Yudong believes that the current shareholding ratio of the undertaker is low, and it is not feasible to participate in corporate governance. If after the restructuring of the group company, the equity becomes highly diversified, and the undertaking entity holds 10% equity, which is not a small proportion, its status as a financial investor should be transformed into a strategic investor, "to further participate in and improve the corporate governance level."

　　In Gao Minghua’s view, according to the current regulations, the proportion of transferring 10% equity into the social security fund is not high, and it is difficult to form checks and balances on major shareholders. "In addition to the social security fund Council and other stakeholders, it is necessary to introduce more social capital to make the equity more diversified." He pointed out that joining the board of directors is only a direct way to participate in the operation of enterprises. Even if no one is sent to the board of directors, according to the provisions of the Company Law, the undertaker as a shareholder can also participate in decision-making, supervise and question the board of directors.

　　Does diversification of property rights mean that the level of corporate governance can be improved? In Gao Minghua’s view, it depends on whether institutional investors can play an active role. "Foreign institutional investors will evaluate the corporate governance level of their investments and publicly release relevant information, thus prompting enterprises to improve their corporate governance level."

　　He believes that if an institutional investor is only a passive investor, it will have little effect on improving the level of corporate governance. In the future, the social security fund will hold a large number of shares, and the National Social Security Fund Council needs to expand the team and attract corporate governance professionals. "The government should have some supporting programs, and the undertaker should not be a passive participant."

　　New problems may arise in the process of transfer.

　　After the promulgation of the "Program", some experts believe that there are still many practical problems that cannot be avoided in the process of future equity transfer, which need further explanation from the government.

　　Zheng Chunrong, deputy dean of the Institute of Public Policy and Governance of Shanghai University of Finance and Economics, pointed out that the object of participation in the transfer was listed companies, which was more adequate in information disclosure. "This transfer is all state-owned capital. After the equity transfer, because these companies are not listed, there are certain challenges in the disclosure and supervision of business management information. "

　　Zheng Chunrong is worried that some local governments may be lucky in the future transfer process. "In order to avoid the transfer of equity, it may be deliberately said that some enterprises are public welfare enterprises and will not be transferred." Although the state has made basic provisions on the nature of commercial state-owned enterprises and public welfare state-owned enterprises, Zheng Chunrong believes that the identification of the nature of enterprises needs to be explained in more detail.

　　"There is another problem, that is, the transfer ratio is unified to 10% of the state-owned equity of the enterprise." Zheng Chunrong pointed out that the number of state-owned enterprises and retirees varies greatly from province to province, and there are also great differences in the stock equity of state-owned assets. There may be many retired old workers in some provinces, and the total equity of state-owned enterprises is limited, so there are great differences between provinces.

　　In Zheng Bingwen’s view, due to the great differences in the operation of state-owned assets in different places, the transfer of local state-owned capital may be uneven. "There will be differences in the transfer strength, results and time in different provinces." He pointed out that areas with relatively large state-owned assets happen to be areas where the phenomenon of aging population is more prominent. These areas will face two pressures. On the one hand, the current capital flow pressure of pension funds is relatively high, and the gap must be made up by transfer; On the other hand, the state-owned economy in these areas has problems of low efficiency and low income.

　　"This is a contradiction." Zheng Bingwen believes that this will test whether the local government regards the transfer as a burden or an opportunity. "In some areas, local fiscal revenue will be under greater pressure, and there may be a wait-and-see attitude towards the transfer. However, after the transfer, it will actually help improve the operational efficiency of state-owned enterprises, improve the transparency of enterprises, and improve the governance structure of the state-owned economy, which may lead to a win-win situation. " In his view, we can let the provinces with better state-owned economy move first and give other provinces a reference.

City Hot News reported that after "social phobia" and "social cow disease", a new word in social series-"social self-consciousness" became popular, and was praised by netizens as the most comfortable and polite group of people in social activities.

What is "social consciousness"? According to the reporter’s inquiry, it actually means that when getting along with others, the words and actions are just right, and there is proper limit, which does not cause trouble to others.

Performance 1: Don’t disturb others in public.

Su Ming, a 28-year-old logistics worker, lives in Dashiba. She feels that she belongs to the "social self-consciousness" group. The most important point is the behavior in public.

Su Ming, for example, if he goes to see a movie or a concert, his mobile phone will be turned to mute, and he will not take it out all the time in the middle, which will affect the viewing experience of others; In addition, when you take public transportation, you won’t play videos outside, and you will reply to the message first, because direct phone calls are likely to disturb other passengers; And when you take the elevator, you will never take out the food with strong smell, such as steamed stuffed bun and baked wheat cake …

Su Ming believes that the so-called "social consciousness" is actually a small move, but it can reduce the disturbance to others.

Performance 2: The promised things must be fulfilled.

Zhou Yi, a 30-year-old marketing worker, believes that fulfilling promises is the foundation of social consciousness.

Zhou Yi said that he had some friends who were "socially inept". Although they were good at getting along with others, they were even more responsible for the party. However, there is a problem that talking and doing things are not reliable, and the promised things are forgotten after they are finished. "Such people are just impromptu friendships, and it is difficult for people to trust and make friends."

Zhou Yi said that if we look at the friends who have really settled down around us, we must keep our words, and the promised things will be fulfilled and honored. "Adult communication, security and trust are the most important things."

Performance 3: Don’t force questions and listen when chatting.

Miss Jiang is a new media editor. She is 27 years old and single. She believes that "socially conscious" people must be able to chat.

Every time she attends a family dinner or a class reunion, someone always brings the topic to "older young women" and feels uncomfortable all over.

For example, when I went back to my hometown on National Day this year, several aunts and aunts at home chatted and began to analyze sentence by sentence why Miss Jiang was single for so many years. Some say that Miss Jiang’s personality is too strong, some say that Miss Jiang lacks femininity, and some say that Miss Jiang’s circle is too small …

"That kind of feeling is like a thorn in the back, like a sore throat, like sitting on pins and needles." Miss Jiang believes that "socially conscious" people should be like themselves. If they touch on topics that the other party doesn’t want to talk about, they should avoid them in time. In addition, you should also know how to listen and not interrupt others.

Performance 4: The private sector should also be self-disciplined.

Jia Jia, a 31-year-old parenting blogger, feels that social consciousness is not limited to leaving home. Even when you are at home, you should pay attention and be conscious.

For example, the children upstairs always like to beat the ball or jump rope at home, which brings great trouble to Jiajia and her family. Another example is a neighbor on the same floor. Shoe cabinets, bicycles and trolleys are all thrown in the corridor, which not only occupies space, but also affects aesthetics.

Jia Jia said, including getting along with family members, roommates and others, we should also maintain social consciousness, control our emotions, respect each other’s living habits, and at the same time, don’t leave the worst temper to the closest relatives.

Netizen voice: I hope more and more people have "social consciousness"

@ Pygmalion: If social consciousness, social phobia and social arrogance are on the same axis. Social phobia will be on the far left, social arrogance will be on the far right, and social consciousness will be in the middle. They are not as speechless as social fears, nor as emmm…… as social cows … All in all, people with social consciousness will feel more comfortable getting along with them than social fears and social cows.

@ Yi Jia said: If more people can have social consciousness, don’t crowd out other people’s public space. Then our world may reduce many unnecessary quarrels and irritability.

@ 京京京京: Sometimes you should clearly tell others your boundaries, otherwise you will depend on yourself.

@ Lele: No matter how good the relationship is, you should be socially conscious. For example, I once had a best friend, who always took advantage of me financially. I was never invited to dinner and came to my house to help myself. Over time, I alienated her.

@ Fu Kang ‘ai Entertainment: In order to praise those who consciously abide by social etiquette, behave themselves and be full of proper limit, the glorious title of "social consciousness disorder" came into being quietly.

In fact, in the final analysis, "social self-consciousness" is a sense of proper limit and boundary in communication with people. Some people have a strong sense of boundary and will not infringe on others’ boundaries; Some people have no sense of boundaries at all, and they are ready to jump in your boundaries.

In addition to strangers in public places, we will also be violated by some acquaintances in our daily life, such as questioning care, asking for help without asking, helping without telling, and so on. Everyone needs to pay attention to how to grasp the sense of proportion and establish a sense of boundary in communication with others.

Comments: "Social consciousness" can also be cultivated.

Tan Gangqiang, executive director of Chongqing Social Psychology Association: In fact, "social consciousness" is not only the embodiment of education and quality, but also the support of emotional intelligence and social wisdom. Even need to rely on some acquired efforts to develop-

one

Know yourself. First of all, we must be "socially conscious", and we must be self-aware of our own language and behavior, and understand whether our words and deeds will cause trouble to others.

2

Be self-disciplined Know how to control your own behavior, and don’t make behaviors that affect others or the public because you are comfortable for a while.

three

Be kind. People who are kind and well-intentioned will care about the emotions of others, will not say hurtful words, and will do harm to others.

Nepal is a paradise for hikers to make pilgrimages. There are nearly 100 hiking routes here, among which Poonhill (Bryan) Small Ring Road, Anna Poorna Base Camp Line (ABC) and Himalayan Base Camp (EBC) are more mature and popular.

In the ABC line, which is the most popular among Chinese people, it is no exaggeration to say that this hiking trip, which takes nearly 1-2 weeks, is not to touch heaven, but to really be in the "paradise of snow peaks": Anna Poorna, Manaslu, Dharagiri and Nepali Shenshan Fishtail, among the top ten peaks in the world over 8000m meters, accompany you day and night, and the landscape changes brought by the vertical height difference make the four seasons scenery panoramic: forest, meadow, pastoral and Nepali.

Walking around the mountains in Nepal may be the distance in the world, before the front. Meng, a traveler on Tripadvisor, shared his unique experience of ABC trekking in Nepal during the Spring Festival. Because his heart is towards the mountains, he never stops exploring.

"After a long journey of 12 days, I finally arrived at Anna Poorna’s base camp in the Himalayas. We walk for 6-11 hours every day, starting from the tropical forest, passing through the bushes and reaching the foot of Anna Poorna Glacier.

It can be seen that ABC is a relatively mature route during hiking. The guide will adjust the specific itinerary according to everyone’s situation and weather conditions on that day. If someone in the team can’t keep up, they will stop to have a rest or make other adjustments. The scenery along the route is very good. When we reached the summit, we saw the sunset and starry sky, and the sunrise the next morning, all of which were very shocking and beautiful. Once again, we lamented that we were really small in front of nature.

Because it was during the Spring Festival, the guides also celebrated New Year’s Eve with us, singing and dancing, which was very interesting. At the beginning of the new year, it is even more meaningful to complete an extreme challenge. By the way, on the way back, there are hot springs by the river flowing down from the glacier! "

The Inca trail itself is very challenging (please pay attention to the influence of high reflexivity! ) But it’s worth it for the scenery and the Inca ruins (not just Machu Picchu)!

The porters in the team are the hardest, carrying tents and all the equipment, and making sure that the camp has been set up before we arrive. They are really superman!

Every day, the three meals we set up camp are made fresh, which is more delicious than restaurants! Alex, our chef, made creamy butter jam, cakes, soups and many Peruvian specialties. He also took good care of the team’s various dietary restrictions and preferences, just like I ate super-satisfied vegetarian food this time. "

As soon as we reached the top of the mountain, he gave us a breakfast reward for our homework! Including mixed sandwiches, boiled eggs, chocolate bars and fruits ~

After sunrise, the guide introduced us to the best place to take pictures, climbed to the highest point of the mountain and saw the steaming volcanic vent, which was a wonderful feeling. Hiking and chatting with guides all the way have deepened my love and understanding of Bali for several layers. "

Uniformity, model, military training for freshmen of Guangdong University of Technology.

　　When September comes, college students who have just entered the school first accept a test military training. Military training represents too many tearful haircuts, sunburns, repeated mechanical marching, and of course, the tempering of friendship and willpower.

　　Military training has not yet started, and all kinds of spit have spread on the Internet. Freshmen of South China Normal University launched a "no-cut vote" in Weibo, which is the first time in many years that freshmen of this school openly opposed the military training haircut order. According to the survey, many freshmen faint in military training almost every year, and heatstroke and overwork are the two main reasons. There are pros and cons to military training, and each has its own advantages and disadvantages. Is military training really necessary?

　　Freshmen often complain: "It’s just black skin and white teeth."

　　For military training, most of the "new recruits" who have just entered colleges and universities complain and feel good.

　　Before the start of school, the reporter visited several freshmen who were about to enter the university town, and they all expressed helplessness to military training. "I don’t think that military training will temper many will qualities, that is, black skin and white teeth." Xiao Xia, a freshman in China Normal University, said, "I am most worried that my long hair will be cut off." Xiao Li, a freshman from Guangwai University, said that it is not necessary to rely on military training to improve the cohesion of freshmen, but other methods can be used, such as various outdoor quality development, which can exercise themselves and are not so boring.

　　After school started, the freshman Xiao Li couldn’t wait to vomit in Weibo as soon as he got back from military training. The past five days of military training seemed like five years to him. It takes an hour to stand in a military posture, and the sweat keeps flowing downwards, but you can’t move. A classmate next to him couldn’t hold on, moved a little, and there were 50 squats waiting for him. Five days later, Xiao Li’s face was peeled and her skin was tanned with soy sauce.

　　"@ Zero Little North" was very happy with his tan. In Weibo, he shouted, "Let’s coal miners have strength! This skin color is a pure man. "

　　Many schools have prepared camouflage uniforms for military training students. Some boys kneel down to their female classmates in Weibo for "needle and thread support" because their clothes are too wide. A beautiful girl changed her camouflage uniform into a camouflaged skirt with suspenders, which caused a crazy forwarding on Weibo.

　　Some freshmen have begun to sum up the "secrets of military training". Xiao Qin of South China University of Technology said that during the "most miserable days" of military training, he spent it by counting leaves, which is the only thing he can do when he is standing still. "It’s a pleasure in suffering."

　　Old students support with strength: "The feelings of the military camp are fluttering in the air."

　　For military training, the seniors of sophomore and junior are all one-sided. Xiao Yu, a junior at South China Normal University, categorically said that military training is "of course necessary". "Every day, I walk forward, practice standing posture and run, and I am terribly sunburned, especially tired, but very happy. The students in our class are closely linked by military training. At the beginning of school, everyone was very cautious. After the military training, they all became one. Now, in retrospect, I still miss the military training. Even the sun that was able to bask in life at that time was so cute. "

　　Xiaochun of Guangdong University of Foreign Studies also supports military training with both hands. "The most unforgettable thing is the heroic instructors. It was the closest we had to life in a military camp. Although we practiced on the big playground of the school, there was still a feeling of military camp fluttering in the air. This kind of experience should not be missing, and it is another wonderful experience different from campus life. "

　　University students: Unfortunately, there is no need for military training.

　　On the Weibo, the ranking of military training time in Guangzhou universities in 2012 attracted strong attention from college students. Guangdong University of Foreign Studies led the province in 18 days, while Jinan University blinded the whole country in 0 days of military training.

　　Many freshmen have expressed regret that they did not choose Jinan University. However, many freshmen in Jinan University are full of deep regret that they don’t need military training. Xiao Lai said: "I tend to want military training, and tempering my will is second. The most important thing is that this is a valuable experience and should not be missed. I feel empty when I see students from other schools wearing camouflage uniforms for military training under the scorching sun. Although military training is very tiring and will peel off my skin, I really hope to participate in military training instead of spending my college time with this regret. "

　　Expert: entertaining and entertaining, the effect is better.

　　Tu Minxia, deputy director of Guangzhou Sui, Hong Kong and Macao Youth Research Institute, said that military training, as a pre-school education in many colleges and middle schools, is necessary, on the one hand, to temper students’ willpower, on the other hand, to cultivate the spirit of collectivism, and also to better promote exchanges between freshmen.

　　"However, the time of military training should be more flexible and should not be a rigid month or a week." Tu Minxia believes that it is not scientific and humane enough for students to expose themselves to the sun and practice boring military posture and positive steps. "You can also carry out some interesting training, such as the rising quality development, which can better cultivate the team spirit of new students, and it is not so boring. The elements of entertaining will be bigger and the results will be better."

　　Doctor: Military training is necessary. Do what you can.

　　Dr. Huang from the Department of Surgery, Guangdong Provincial People’s Hospital said that she had treated students suffering from heatstroke due to military training. "Slight heatstroke recovered quickly after rest, cooling down and rehydration."

　　Dr. Huang believes that military training is necessary, but we should do what we can. "High temperature combined with high-intensity training will make some children with weak physical fitness unable to eat. They should take a break every once in a while, drink plenty of water, and dress with air. Excessive exposure may cause solar dermatitis, itching, etc., and sunscreen should be applied to prevent sunburn. If the sunburn is serious, you should ask for leave in time. Eat a balanced diet and pay attention to rest at night.

　　Dr. Huang specially reminded that girls should take time off to rest during the holidays, rather than carry it hard.
