Foreign media pay attention! The investigation of "TongRumen" is coming to an end. How big will the trouble be?

  CCTV News:On August 7th, the Central Radio and Television General Station’s "International Sharp Review" broadcast titled "The investigation of" TongRumen "is coming to an end. How much trouble will it be? The article was reprinted by many overseas media.

  From 7 to 9 August, French LCF Radio facebook account, German-Chinese Report website, Spanish Radio International website, Italian Radio We website (facebook, twitter), Portugal Lisbon Rainbow FM website (facebook), Portugal Global Iberian client, Brazil Sao Paulo World Radio and Television website (facebook), Many overseas media, such as facebook, Turkish Economic Observation Network, Jordan Global Radio facebook account, Chinese PT portal, Chinese Headline APP, Portuguese New Newspaper APP(facebook, twitter), European Union Chinese website, Europe-China United Times website, Africa Times website, West Africa online website, Japanese Chinese business website, and Greek China website, have forwarded them one after another. From August 8 to 10, this article was also published and forwarded by Hong Kong Ta Kung Pao, wenhui network and Hong Kong Business Daily. The main reports are as follows:

  US President Trump, who ruled the country by Twitter, once again pushed himself to the forefront with Twitter on the 5th, denouncing the report of "fake news" on his beloved eldest son Donald Trump Jr as "a complete fabrication", and revealed that in 2016, Trump Jr. met a Russian female lawyer at Trump Tower in new york, with the aim of obtaining information from his political opponents, which was "completely legal and a consistent practice in politics".

  As early as more than a year ago, when The New York Times first disclosed the meeting, Trump Jr. made it clear that they were discussing a project on the adoption of Russian children that the US government had stopped. He also went to the closed-door hearing of Congress to ensure that Trump himself did not know about the meeting, and that the presidential campaign had nothing to do with Russia. However, a few months later, the media revealed that this statement was drafted by President Trump himself.

  Now, 13 months after Trump Jr.’ s statement, President Trump actually admitted on Twitter that the meeting was to get the black materials of his opponent from Russian lawyers. People who are used to Trump’s reneging performance can’t help but be shocked when they see such a reversal! Ian Bremmer, chairman of Eurasia Group, the world’s largest political risk consulting company, concluded that either President Trump lied or the liar was Trump Jr.

  The mainstream media in the United States and Europe have pointed out that the meeting two years ago happened to be an important link involved in the investigation of "TongRumen" conducted by Mueller, the special prosecutor of the US Department of Justice. With the approaching mid-term elections in the United States, the investigation of "TongRumen", which has been going on for more than a year, is drawing to a close. On the 5th, mainstream media in the United States, including Washington post, CNN and Associated Press, reported that the investigation of "TongRumen" is likely to harm people around President Trump, especially Trump Jr., the eldest son who planned and participated in the meeting.

  Legal experts believe that Trump Jr.’ s contact with foreigners in order to obtain black materials from political opponents violates the relevant provisions of the US election law and may even be suspected of "conspiracy against the United States". At the beginning of this year, when Bannon, Trump’s strategist and former chief strategist of the White House, broke with Trump, he once said that the meeting was a treason. Nowadays, everyone has speculated whether such a heavy accusation has entered Muller’s "TongRumen" investigation list.

  In fact, Mana Ford, another important figure in that meeting and former general manager of Trump’s campaign team, is now in deep jail because of many charges such as "conspiracy against the United States", and the case will be heard next month. At present, Manafort has been accused by the special prosecutor Mueller team for economic problems such as bank fraud and tax evasion, and the case has entered the trial stage. Although Mana Ford refused to plead guilty, Rick Gates, his former business partner and now a federal tainted witness, admitted to the jury on the 6th that he had helped Mana Ford commit crimes such as bank and securities fraud, and described the criminal process in detail. Earlier, Gates and Manafort were charged with money laundering and "conspiracy against the United States". He was dealt with separately because he all pleaded guilty and became a tainted witness.

  Can Manafort continue to be hard-pressed and wait for Trump to exercise his presidential power in the future to give him Amnesty? Or will you plead guilty and become an important tainted witness of "TongRumen"? This is not only a drama that the media all over the world pay attention to, but also a trial that makes President Trump very worried.

  Trump tweeted at the beginning of the trial that Mana Ford was wronged, saying that Mana Ford was once the right-hand man of former President Reagan and other Republican leaders, but now he was treated unfairly by the Mueller team, which was worse than that suffered by Alfonse Capone, the number one "public enemies" in the United States. He also questioned the evidence of communication with Russia and demanded that Attorney General sessions immediately terminate the investigation of "communication with Russia". Of course, the White House had to remedy afterwards that the president’s tweet was not giving orders, but expressing his views.

  Trump’s aversion to the "TongRumen" investigation has a long history. Whenever it comes to the investigation of "TongRumen", he is always labeled as "witch hunting" and "fraud". According to American media statistics, in the first seven months of this year, he sent out 84 such labels.

  At the same time, Michael Cohen, a former private lawyer who has handled all kinds of bad things and worries for Trump for many years, is now being investigated for being involved in bank and tax fraud activities, especially for possibly violating the relevant regulations of the election law. The US media disclosed that FBI agents had obtained a batch of audio clips in Cohen’s apartment, office and hotel room, among which Cohen secretly recorded a conversation with Trump, showing that they had discussed it with former Playboy magazine girl McDougall before the election, asking her to conceal her ulterior relationship with Trump. According to reports, Cohen also confirmed to the Muller investigation team that Trump met with Russian lawyers and got Trump’s approval in advance. This remark was immediately attacked by Trump’s current lawyer and former mayor of new york, Giuliani, calling Cohen a "pathological liar". Cohen, who used to talk about blocking bullets for Trump, has now turned against him. How much deadly black material is there in the conversation he secretly recorded?

  As the investigation of "TongRumen" enters the final stage, President Trump, who is on vacation at the New Jersey Golf Course, is faced with a difficult choice: whether to take the initiative to accept the question of special prosecutor Muller or wait for Muller’s summons to answer the question? Will this duplicitous American president, who is good at picking things up, play another trick to divert public attention and cover up his weak life? Or, did Muller offer a fatal blow to Trump when former FBI Director Komi made a move against Hillary?

  Zhongxin. com, Xi ‘an, April 25th: The satellite "housekeeper" casts a "monument" — — Visit China Xi ‘an Satellite TT&C Center

  Author Zhang Chengwei Zhang Su

  The ancient city of Xi ‘an is an international city where human history and modern science and technology complement each other. Xi ‘an Satellite TT&C Center, located here, is the earliest, largest and most functional spacecraft TT&C and management center in China, and has successfully completed hundreds of TT&C tasks for space launch.

  The reporter learned that on June 23rd, 1967, China established the Satellite Ground Survey Department, which was the predecessor of Xi ‘an Satellite TT&C Center. In September 1975, the center was formally established.

  The relevant person in charge said that the temporary command and control center that initially performed a single measurement and control task has developed into a modern space measurement and control center that integrates real-time measurement and control of spacecraft and long-term management of spacecraft in orbit. There is the only land-based space TT&C network in China, with TT&C sites spread all over five continents and 13 provinces and regions in China.

  The first monument

  China has no ready-made experience to learn from in building sophisticated satellite ground observation systems. The technicians of the satellite ground survey department started from scratch, worked hard, built the computer room, installed the antenna and laid the cable by themselves, debugged the equipment in the heat and cold, and wrote the program under the oil lamp in the humble room, which passed the difficult years in the history of measurement and control.

  Under the auspices of Academician Chen Fangyun, the scientific and technical personnel gathered their wisdom to tackle key problems and worked out the measurement technical scheme of China’s first artificial satellite.

  On April 24th, 1970, the "Dongfanghong-1" satellite flew to Tianyu, and China became the fifth country in the world to launch a domestic satellite with a homemade rocket after the Soviet Union, the United States, France and Japan. The launch measurement and control of the "Dongfanghong-1" satellite was a complete success. The center accurately predicted the time and position of the satellite flying over 244 cities in the world, and set up Chinese’s first "milestone" in the vast sky.

  People follow the stars.

  In the years after the successful launch of Dongfanghong-1 satellite, the United States and the Soviet Union launched several recoverable satellites. At that time, China had "two bombs and one satellite", its national strength gradually increased, and China astronauts were full of confidence.

  On November 26th, 1975, China successfully launched its first recoverable satellite. The central activity monitoring and recovery unit "people move with the stars", using radio direction finder and other equipment to capture satellites returning at high speed independently, creating a successful achievement in satellite recovery.

  Synchronous fixed point

  In 1970s, the space powers accelerated the pace of space race. China executives pointed out: "China is a developing country. It will not participate in the space race in terms of space technology, and it should concentrate on urgently using practical satellites." China’s first applied satellite "Dongfanghong II" communication satellite came into being.

  On April 8, 1984, China successfully launched the first communication satellite "Dongfanghong II". The center and the monitoring stations fought continuously, carefully monitored and controlled for 8 days and nights, and successfully positioned the satellite over the equator at 125 degrees east longitude and 36,000 kilometers. China became the fifth country in the world to launch a geostationary orbit satellite.

  Spacecraft recovery

  On September 21, 1992, China’s manned spaceflight project was launched. The center undertakes two major system tasks: measurement and control communication and landing site.

  The landing site system is mainly responsible for the search and recovery of spacecraft return capsule and the search and rescue of astronauts. It is a complex system engineering with air-ground integration and multi-disciplinary cooperation. As the leading unit of the landing site system, the Center organized and coordinated more than 10 departments and units, including Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation, and set up an all-weather manned space search and rescue force with high mobility, forming a set of scientific program flow of recovery and measurement of the return capsule, high-precision impact prediction and astronaut search and rescue, and establishing a fast and safe search and rescue mode of "searching and rescue astronauts in the air and disposing the return capsule on the ground".

  During the TT&C recovery mission of the Shenzhou-1 to Shenzhou-10 spacecraft, the center organized a search for rescue forces and repeated drills, creating a world space miracle that "rescuers arrived at the astronaut landing site in 30 seconds", the difference between the predicted landing point and the actual landing point was only 280 meters, and the orbital accuracy reached meters.

  Multi-star management

  In 1990s, in order to meet the needs of multi-satellite launching and parallel management, the Center put forward the optimal allocation strategy and algorithm of TT&C resources, and initially realized the separation of TT&C network management and spacecraft management. Since the beginning of this century, the number of spacecraft in orbit has increased, and the center has independently developed several sets of precision orbit control software, such as multi-satellite co-location control, constellation configuration control and multi-satellite formation flight. The accuracy of orbit calculation and control has always been at the leading domestic and international advanced levels.

  In recent years, the center has vigorously promoted the automation construction of measurement and control system, and the space measurement and control network has gradually realized the automatic operation of "manned and unattended", which has a high level of visualization, informationization, automation and intelligence.

  At present, there are more than 100 spacecraft in orbit managed by the center, and it has the ability to carry out orbit determination, state monitoring, attitude adjustment, orbit control and maintenance for 200 spacecraft in orbit at the same time. These in-orbit spacecraft have played an important role in information security in major events such as the Beijing Olympic Games and earthquake relief.

  Deep space exploration

  Driven by major aerospace projects such as lunar exploration, the center has overcome a series of key technologies such as long-distance tracking and measurement, and its measurement and control capability has achieved a major leap from earth orbit to lunar and deep space orbit spacecraft tracking and control.

  During Chang ‘e-1’ s flight around the moon, the center made the communication distance of TT&C as far as 400,000 kilometers for the first time, knocking on the door of TT&C in deep space. In the "Chang ‘e II" mission, the center completed the whole tracking and measurement and control task from flying to circling the moon until the end of its life, and extended the distance record of measurement and control communication to 80 million kilometers.

  In 2013, the center organized a tracking measurement test on the ESA Venus Express, and the measurement and control communication distance successfully exceeded 250 million kilometers. In the "Chang ‘e III" mission, the center adopted a series of advanced deep space measurement methods to ensure the accurate landing of the probe on the moon, and successfully carried out major space technology experiments such as lunar surface exploration, laying the foundation for the subsequent exploration of extremely distant stars such as Mars.

  Looking back, the years are like songs; Looking to the future, the mission urges the levy. A new generation of space TT&C personnel will keep up with the forefront of world space science and technology development, blaze new trails and forge ahead hand in hand. (End)

Smuggle to Myanmar! Three men were sentenced.

  Zhao ‘an Zhang Moumou, Shen Moumou and Tian Moumou and other three men, under the arrangement of the "snakehead", ganged up and smuggled out of the country together. Recently, Zhang Moumou, Shen Moumou and Tian Moumou were all sentenced after a public prosecution by Zhao ‘an County Procuratorate.

  In July 2019, Zhang Moumou smuggled into Myanmar to work, and then smuggled back to China under the arrangement of the "snakehead" who specializes in smuggling in Myanmar. In January, 2020, under the arrangement of "snakehead", Zhang Moumou met Shen Moumou and Tian Moumou who also wanted to visit Myanmar illegally.

  On February 17, 2020, the three of them joined a group in accordance with the agreement and moved to Cangyuan Airport in Lincang, where they were intercepted by the local public security organs and persuaded to return to Kunming. During their stay in Kunming, the three men contacted the "snakehead" again to rearrange their routes. Three days later, they set off from Kunming, arrived at the China-Myanmar border and smuggled out to Myanmar.

  From the end of February 2020 to the beginning of March of the same year, Shen Moumou and Tian Moumou successively sneaked back to China by contacting the "snakehead"; On August 7th, 2021, Zhang Moumou entered Meng ‘a Port on foot from abroad.

  From September to November, 2022, Zhang Moumou, Shen Moumou and Tian Moumou took the initiative to surrender to Zhao ‘an County Public Security Bureau.
Recently, after prosecution by Zhao ‘an County Procuratorate, Zhang Moumou, Shen Moumou and Tian Moumou were sentenced to criminal detention ranging from four months to five months, suspended for eight months to ten months, and fined from 6,000 yuan to 10,000 yuan.

On August 31, 1991, China began to comprehensively clean up the "triangular debt"

On August 31st, 1991, the State Council held a national working conference on cleaning up "triangular debts". The main contents are as follows: 1. "Triangle debt" has become a serious obstacle to the normal operation of the national economy, and it is imperative to fundamentally solve the problem of "triangle debt". The State Council decided to clean up the "triangle debt" as a breakthrough to enliven large and medium-sized state-owned enterprises and control the economic order. The main leaders of local governments should personally ask about the cleanup work and put it on the agenda; Overcome wrong ideas, seize the time and do it well in three years. Second, the meeting stipulated the guiding ideology, main tasks, main practices and key targets of this work, and stipulated the time limit for the occurrence of this "triangular debt" included in the clean-up, as of June 30, 1991. Third, the meeting exchanged the experience of the pilot project of clearing debts in Northeast China and the measures to prevent debts. Combined with the actual situation of various regions and departments, the meeting formulated more specific and feasible scheme measures for clearing debts and preventing debts, and put forward specific requirements for the next step of clearing debts.

On August 17th, 1992, the Office of the Leading Group for Clearing Triangular Debts in the State Council introduced that China had made great progress in clearing triangular debts.

By the end of July, except for a few projects that did not meet the loan conditions and the national industrial policy, the arrears of national capital construction and technological transformation before the end of 1991 had been basically cleared up, one year ahead of schedule. In the past two years, the state has injected 51 billion yuan to clean up triangular debts. And take the scientific method of cleaning up the fixed assets from the source of default for five consecutive years, and untie the debt chain of enterprises by more than 200 billion yuan, which has achieved good results by investing funds in 1 yuan to clear 4 yuan’s arrears. This progress has eased the debt chain burden for large and medium-sized enterprises, thus creating favorable conditions for the rational growth of the national economy.

However, there are still some provinces and cities with projects with funding gaps, resulting in new arrears; There are also some enterprises that do not look at the market and blindly produce, resulting in a backlog of products. The State Council asked all regions and departments not to leave a gap in funds for new projects to prevent new arrears, and reiterated that the state would no longer organize the liquidation of arrears that occurred after 1992.

It is so important for China to pay attention to the latest progress of the peace process in Myanmar.

       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. "

Go to a windy place on foot. This is the Himalayas.

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! "

Peru Cuzco

"I completed a 4-day and 3-night hiking trip on the ancient Inca road with the alpaca expedition, and met the challenges and beautiful scenery all the way until I arrived at Machu Picchu! 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. "

The helicopter went hiking on the moving glacier.

New Zealand fox

"The view of the glacier from the helicopter is amazing, not to mention walking on the glacier. We arrived at Fox Glacier in about 5 minutes by helicopter, and the beauty of the flight was full of surprises!

Professional guides lead the dressing (providing backpacks, windbreakers, socks, hiking shoes, walking sticks and crampons), hiking and sightseeing. The whole glacier is beautiful!

Step by step on the glacier and explore the beautiful blue ice cave. It’s really beautiful! We took a lot of photos. Later, because of the weather, we stayed on the mountain for 3 hours. The guide led us to keep our body temperature on the cold ice. The unforgettable journey, many first-time experiences (helicopter, crampons, glaciers, ice caves, glacial water …) were still memorable after returning home. "

Baddour Mountain Sunrise Hiking Experience

"I thoroughly enjoyed a sunrise hike that I will never forget. When the sun rises and the tour guide takes out the guitar, this morning that belongs to us at the top of the mountain is simply beautiful and unforgettable.

Before dawn, the driver came to the hotel to pick us up and go to Baddour Mountain Base Camp, holding a cane and flashlight, and followed the guide at his own comfortable pace. 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. "

Ten tips to help you quit your mobile phone.

If the last face you see at night is the home screen of your glowing tablet, and the first is the email app of your smartphone, you officially need to cut it out. Here are 10 quick and easy ways to tap the brakes without resorting to hermithood or a life without ESPN updates.
If you say good night to the flat fluorescent screen before going to bed every night, and the first thing you see after getting up in the morning is the mobile email application, you really need to say goodbye to them. The next 10 tips can not only teach you to put down all kinds of equipment, but also avoid living as a hermit and enjoying the real-time updates of ESPN TV.

Ten tips to help you quit your mobile phone.

1. Get a dumb watch. buy a "stupid" watch

The average smartphone owner consults his device an astonishing 195 times per day. Nip the knee-jerk habit at the source and strap on a good old-fashio ned watch. Definitely not a smart one, preferably a mechanical one.
On average, mobile phone users watch their mobile phones 195 times a day. Get rid of this instinctive habit from the source and buy an old watch with good quality. Don’t be a smart watch, it’s better to be an old-fashioned mechanical watch.

2. Pick up a paper. Pick up the paper media again

Instead of hitting up a social network or a newspaper app to breeze through news summaries and half-read a few articles, grab a paper and be amazed at how relaxing it is to read through the day’s news. Not only that, we found our attention span has increased and we don’t abandon as many articles. And fret not at the expense. Even the New York Times is $9 a week for home delivery, plus digital access.
Stop browsing news or reading articles on social networks or newspaper software. If you can pick up the newspaper again, you will find how relaxing it is to watch the news every day. In addition, we also find that it can concentrate more and won’t make us give up halfway when reading the article. Don’t worry about the cost. It’s only $9 a week for The New York Times to deliver it home, including the online version.

3. Listen to airwaves. listen to the radio

Again, not a radio stream from your phone or desktop. Blow the dust off your old clock radio or handheld transistor, plug it in, and be amazed at how vital radio still can be. More importantly, you won’t be tempted to check other apps and websites.
Again, this is not the broadcast software in your mobile phone and computer. Take out your old-fashioned radio, alarm clock or transistor radio, blow off the dust and plug it in. I think you will be amazed at its importance. More importantly, you won’t be tempted by mobile phones and want to browse software and web pages.

4. Sever social media ties. 切断社网

We love hitting up Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram to keep tabs on friends and relations. If you aren’t willing to walk away from this ritual of keeping up with digital Joneses, then consider consolidating down to one service and picking a dedicated daily time for checking in — at your lunch break or at the gym, ideally. And turn off app and email notifications for the services you use, so you aren’t tempted by all those little red badges.
We are obsessed with browsing Facebook, Twitter and Instagram to keep in touch with our friends. If you don’t want to get rid of the habit of comparing ostentation and extravagance with your online friends, try to integrate all the services and check your mobile phone every day-the ideal time is to have a lunch break or exercise. And turn off the apps and email reminders you use, so you won’t be tempted by those little red labels!

5. Make a phone stack. stack mobile phones

Today, it seems nearly impossible to put your phone down for 60 consecutive minutes. Phone stacks are a cliché, but they work: Whether dining at home or out on the town, implement a no-device policy, no exceptions. To make it stick, you can place phones in a stack in the center of the table. Even better, have a waiter or coat check place them out of site so no one can break the rules, and there aren’t hard feelings.
Nowadays, it is almost impossible not to watch your mobile phone for an hour in a row. Although the game of "stacking mobile phones" is out of date, it is actually very easy to use: whether you are eating at home or going on a business trip abroad, you should practice the "no mobile phone policy" and there should be no accidents. To make this stick, you can put your mobile phones in the middle of the table and fold them. A better way is to ask the waiter or clothes keeper to put them away from the table, so that they can stick to it easily!

6. Create rules for living. Set rules.

Having general rules for indulging in gadget time are too easy to slack on, just like diets and workouts. Take the next 10 minutes to figure out the hours when your tech is truly indispensable, and then nail down times when it should never be used: dinnertime, when you’re with the kids, and yes, in bed. Be specific and be rigid. Have a designated, inconvenient spot where your device should go during those times so that you don’t cave — a cabinet upstairs, in your car, or in the basement.
It is easy to make a general plan to limit the time spent on mobile phones, just like the original weight loss and fitness. After reading this article, take ten minutes to think about when you have to use these technology products, and then decide when you will never use them: at dinner, with your children, and of course, in bed. The plan must be specific and strict. Also find a home for your mobile phone during these hours, and make sure it is not so convenient and easy to get. You can put it in the cupboard upstairs, in your car or in the basement.

7. Cut the cord. cut the network cable

There are tons of apps dedicated to keeping you from losing focus on whichever task you’re meant to be accomplishing and instead heading down a YouTube or Facebook rabbit hole.

Join forces to sing the "Song of the Yangtze River" in the new era

  From July 20th to August 16th, the Economic Daily-China Economic Net "Great Rivers Run — A 9-member interview group on the theme of "Reports from the Yangtze River Economic Belt" completed the whole interview and reporting activities in two batches. In 28 days, the interview team traveled to Yunguichuan, and then arrived in Shanghai by boat from Chongqing along the river, facing the intense heat and high temperature all the way. During this period, they also experienced extreme weather such as rainstorm and typhoon many times. The trip involved more than 8,000 kilometers in 11 provinces and cities and more than 220 interview points. This is not only an unforgettable experience of journalists’ career, but also a solemn journey full of sense of mission, responsibility and responsibility.

  This is an interview to temper my feet, eyesight, brain power and pen power. The Yangtze River, the mother river that has bred splendid Chinese civilization, is the source, blood and soul of the sustainable development of the Chinese nation. Its ups and downs, its prosperity and progress, endless stories and endless thoughts. Poverty alleviation in mountainous areas, upstream ecological protection, industrial transformation and upgrading, and conversion of old and new kinetic energy … … Along the way, we visited villages, visited farmers, entered enterprises, and visited ports. While walking, we collected materials and distributed them, carried forward the spirit of "going to change", and recorded and witnessed the little changes in the economic and social development of provinces along the Yangtze River by means of live coverage of words, pictures and videos. From the head of the Yangtze River to the tail of the Yangtze River, we have recorded the people and events along the river. Every detail is touching people’s hearts, every story is exciting, and every moment is inspiring. We are delighted to see that it has become the consensus of the people along the Yangtze River to "jointly protect and not develop" and put the restoration of the ecological environment of the Yangtze River in an overwhelming position, and the movement of "ecological priority and green development" has been played in all provinces.

  This is an interview to personally participate in the great protection of the Yangtze River. "Be a volunteer to protect the mother river of the Yangtze River, be a recorder of the development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt, be a supervisor of the ecological protection of the Yangtze River, and be an advocate of a green lifestyle." On the first day of the interview, the theme interview group jointly released the proposal of "Grateful Mother River to Protect the Yangtze River Water", which infected more people to participate in the action to protect the Yangtze River. At Shigu Wharf in Lijiang, Yunnan, more than 100 journalists from 10 central media and media from 11 provinces and cities along the Yangtze River Economic Belt jointly planted 100 cedars, adding a touch of green to the Yangtze River. In the interview along the way, every reporter consciously protects the environment of the Yangtze River, brings his own handkerchief and washing utensils, and tries to avoid using napkins … … We feel duty-bound and proud to protect the mother river with practical actions!

  For everyone, this is still an interview to participate in governing the country and promote practical work. The mainstream media is not only a disseminator of information, a witness and participant in the new era, but also a promoter of the great protection of the Yangtze River. As the Supreme Leader General Secretary pointed out at the symposium on further promoting the development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt, "Promoting the development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt is a major decision made by the CPC Central Committee and a major strategy related to the overall development of the country, which is of great significance to the realization of ‘ Two hundred years ’ The Chinese dream of striving for the goal and realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation is of great significance. " Therefore, through this in-depth interview, we can see the whole of China based on the Yangtze River. Through our report, we can help the provinces along the Yangtze River to truly untie the ideological knot, make the concept of "jointly protecting and not developing" enter the mind, and make the road of "ecological priority and green development" wider and wider; With the successful experience and beneficial thinking of the development of provinces along the Yangtze River, it is not only our mission, but also our due responsibility and responsibility to enlighten all parts of the country to ignite the new engine of high-quality development and make the road of great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation more and more sonorous.

  "We must leave a clean and beautiful Yangtze River for future generations", which is a firm oath and a solemn commitment. Promoting the development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt involves various fields of economic and social development, and it is a systematic project, and it is impossible to accomplish all its tasks in one battle. Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets, how to truly implement ecological protection; How to get rid of the huge inertia of the traditional development model and path and further accelerate the transformation of old and new kinetic energy in the provinces along the Yangtze River; How to coordinate water, road, port, shore, production, city and other aspects, and do a good job of "a game of chess" in regional coordinated development, there are still many problems to be solved in the development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt, which requires more exploration and thinking, extensive participation of the whole society, down-to-earth, long-term efforts, and unswerving efforts to draw a blueprint to the end, and the cadres and the masses relay race.

  Let’s join hands and work together to sing the "Song of the Yangtze River" in the new era!

  I only hope that a river will flow forever.

  From July 20th to August 4th, as a "great river running — — Report from the Yangtze River Economic Belt ",I participated in a half-way interview from Lijiang, Yunnan to Wuhan, Hubei. In just 15 days, the interview was in full swing, and it was a rare experience in my personal career, and it also left me endless aftertaste and thinking.

  The Yangtze River is beautiful. Along the way, the Yangtze River not only shows the beauty and magnificence of colorful Yunnan, the beautiful Zhong Ling in colorful Guizhou, the majestic and dangerous Bashan and Shushui rivers, and the vast and rich basins of the two lakes, but also has vivid practices of ecological protection and restoration of the Yangtze River in various provinces and cities along the Yangtze River, such as vigorously promoting returning farmland to forests, developing ecological agriculture, implementing shoreline greening, and carrying out pollution control and ecological compensation. It has become the consensus of the people along the Yangtze River to "jointly protect and not engage in large-scale development" and jointly care for one river and clear water.

  The Yangtze River is thick. For thousands of years, the Yangtze River basin has been linked by water, connecting the upstream and downstream, the left and right banks and the main tributaries, forming a large economic and social system. Today, it is still an important link connecting the Silk Road Economic Belt and the 21st century Maritime Silk Road. By vigorously implementing rural revitalization, promoting industrial gradient transfer, opening up the "golden waterway" of the Yangtze River, breaking the chronic disease of "chemical industry encircling the river" and accelerating the kinetic energy conversion of emerging industries, the movement of "ecological priority and green development" has been played.

  The population gathered and the regional GDP created by the Yangtze River Economic Belt account for more than 40% of the country, and the total import and export volume accounts for about 40% of the country. It is the economic center and vitality of China. The 15-day interview recorded only one side. Protecting a river and clear water together, how to turn green mountains and green hills into Jinshan Yinshan and realize the high-quality development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt? More thinking and exploration are needed in the provinces and cities along the Yangtze River. How to coordinate coastal, riverside, border and inland opening, realize organic integration with the "Belt and Road" construction, and cultivate new advantages in international economic cooperation and competition? The construction of the Yangtze River Economic Belt still needs a new starting point, down-to-earth, long-term success, and more and greater achievements. (Economic Daily-China Economic Net reporter Li Hui)

  The surging heart of the Yangtze River

  Our reporter Li Yuyang

  Several colleagues and I started from boarding the ship in Wuhan, "Rivers flow — — Report from the Yangtze River Economic Belt. Unforgettable 15 days, facing the hot summer and high temperature, we also experienced typhoon landing and torrential rain. Going out early and returning late, flying in Dai Yue, almost every day, after issuing the manuscript of the day and doing a good job of coordination, summary and preparation, it is already the early morning of the next day. But I still don’t feel tired, and I am still passionate. A strong sense of mission has provided me with inexhaustible motivation.

  This interview is a good exercise of party spirit, which improves one’s political position and has a deeper understanding of the great significance of the development strategy of the Yangtze River Economic Belt. It has become the consensus of the cadres and masses in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River Economic Belt that "we should pay great attention to great protection and not to great development". According to their own characteristics, all localities have made their own explorations on "ecological priority and green development" and formed a "chorus".

  In the process of close contact with the provinces and cities in the Yangtze River Economic Belt, the magnificent Yangtze River and the green mountains and green waters along the way inspired my strong patriotic feelings. Empathy is very important. Only with empathy can we build a community of destiny more consciously and feel more responsible. We sincerely want to protect the clear water of this river from flowing eastward and drum and shout for the Yangtze River.

  Along the way, what I saw and heard was mostly the achievements made in promoting the construction of the Yangtze River Economic Belt in recent years. The water is clear, the sky is blue, and the species are rich … … I am more concerned about how the people here live. Because all efforts are aimed at increasing the well-being of the people. Seeing that the life of the people along the coast is getting more and more prosperous after the improvement of the environment, I deeply understand Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets. (Economic Daily-China Economic Net reporter Li Hui)

  Everyone’s green mountains and green waters

  Growing up by the river, I participated in the "River Running — — The report from the Yangtze River Economic Belt was deeply cordial. In these days’ interviews, I met many people and heard many stories. The deepest feeling is that it is everyone’s responsibility to protect the mother river, because it is everyone’s green mountains and green waters.

  In Lijiang, Yunnan, we saw a lush willow forest beside the Jinsha River. The 77-year-old local villager and Zezhou are model willows. He told me that "protecting the ecology means protecting yourself". He recalled that the local people began to plant trees spontaneously 60 years ago. In the ancient legend circulating in Lijiang, man and nature are half-brothers, and they should live in harmony.

  In Guizhou, there is a Kurenai Wataru village near Wujiang River, a tributary of the Yangtze River. Zhou Ziting, a village party secretary, told me that it used to be a poor nest, but now it has become a silver nest, which has created a good way for tourism to get rid of poverty. The industrial development has been upgraded from "planting land" to "selling scenery", and good ecological resources have contributed. Here, "Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets" is not a slogan but a reality.

  There are countless such stories. But this is not to say that the Yangtze River has been well protected. In fact, the ecological protection of the Yangtze River has many shortcomings. It’s just that we are glad to see that ecological priority, green development, joint protection and no development are becoming the consensus of the people along the coast. (Economic Daily-China Economic Net reporter She Huimin)

  Kinetic energy conversion makes the beautiful Yangtze River.

  Our reporter Zhou Mingyang

  Along the Yangtze River, no matter vigorously developing ecological economy or promoting the construction of strategic emerging industries, the exploration of taking the road of "ecological priority and green development" has achieved initial results.

  Promoting the development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt and handling the relationship between ecological environmental protection and economic development is the most important thing. In the interview, we saw a vivid case: Guantian Village, Suijiang County, Zhaotong City, Yunnan Province, used geographical advantages to plant "Banbianhong" plums, which increased vegetation coverage, kept soil and water, and at the same time drove farmers to increase their income, achieving a double harvest of economic and ecological benefits. The world-renowned quality of flowers in Yunnan, wine in Guizhou and tea in Sichuan benefits from a good environment. People regard the environment as a treasure, protect it in development and develop it in protection, and truly turn "green mountains and green hills" into "Jinshan Yinshan".

  To build a modern economic system, we need to deal with the relationship between breaking old kinetic energy and cultivating new kinetic energy. In the interview, we saw that the conversion of kinetic energy in the development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt has achieved remarkable results. Yibin, Sichuan, which once relied on liquor and coal as its pillar industries, is accelerating the development of strategic emerging industries such as intelligent terminals and rail transit. As an old industrial base and manufacturing base, Chongqing has accelerated the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries, and the green environmental protection industry represented by the Internet and new energy has increasingly become the foundation of sustainable development. In the interview, such examples abound, and the industrial development along the Yangtze River Economic Belt is realizing a cage change and a phoenix nirvana.

  There is no small thing to do for the people.

  During half a month’s investigation and interview along the Yangtze River, I found more and more: whether it is to build an economic Yangtze River, an ecological Yangtze River or a cultural Yangtze River, its essence is to increase the well-being of the people along the line. As the saying goes, "the interests of the people are no small matter, and every leaf is always concerned."

  In Wuhan, the transformation of shanty towns and the improvement of the ecological environment are no trivial matters, and the vivid practice of improving people’s livelihood is responding to people’s yearning for a better life — — Living in Qingheju Community in Qingshan District, enjoying the renovation of new houses in shanty towns with complete facilities and convenient transportation; Ride on the lush East Lake Greenway, enjoy the beautiful lakes and mountains, and breathe fresh air … … The transformation of shanty towns and a good ecological environment have become real well-being of people’s livelihood.

  In Yangzhou, the protection and renovation project of "Shuangdong" historic district, such as street lane renovation, infrastructure renovation, residential renovation and street style renovation, has been fully implemented, and more than 100 residential houses have been renovated, more than 230 shops along the street have been repaired and restored, and more than 30 old streets and lanes have been renovated.

  Going deep into six provinces and cities (Hubei, Jiangxi, Anhui, Jiangsu, Shanghai and Zhejiang) has made me a friend of many people along the Yangtze River. Tracing back to the roots, the roots of journalists are at the grassroots level. Only when our feet stand on the ground and among the masses, will our roots be deeper, our hearts be truer, and our road will be wider and farther. (Economic Daily-China Economic Net reporter Wen Jicong)

  Be a recorder of the new era

  Take part in the "River Running — — What a wonderful thing it is to interview the theme of the report from the Yangtze River Economic Belt!

  When I was in college, I drank long river water for 4 years. After arriving in Beijing, I continued to drink the Yangtze River water from the South-to-North Water Diversion Project. The water of the Yangtze River melts into my body and goes deep into my soul.

  On August 3rd, I started this report from Wuhan. The beautiful scenery of Wuhan River Beach shows me that the concept of "ecological priority and green development" has taken root along the Yangtze River. Wuhan Yangluo Port Iron-water Intermodal Transport Project connects the upper, middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River in series, connecting the world and becoming the epitome of the development of inland ports in the golden waterway of the Yangtze River.

  In Nanchang, I saw that the front fuselage, middle fuselage and rear fuselage of domestic large aircraft C919 were produced by Hongdu Commercial Aircraft Company. Jingneng Optoelectronics has become the world leader in LED photoelectric industry. Nanchang, relying on the agglomeration of high-tech industries, is taking off and has a bright future.

  It was 1: 00 a.m. when I passed Wuhu by passenger ship at night. The lights of Binjiang Park are flashing, and Zhongjiang Tower has stood silently at the intersection of Qingyi River and Yangtze River for 500 years, witnessing the city becoming brighter and more beautiful. The construction site of Wuhu Shanghehang Yangtze River Bridge is brightly lit. This city will add another Yangtze River Bridge and usher in new development.

  "The tiger’s dragon plate is better than the past, and it is turned upside down and generous." In Nanjing, there is a surge of creativity in Jiangbei New District, a national new district, where a group of innovative enterprises gather. On the Jiang Xinzhou across the river from Jiangbei New District, a world-class "Eco-tech City and Low-carbon Wisdom Island" is under construction. Innovation is becoming the key word for the development of Nanjing.

  "A leaf is swaying in the Yangtze River, and the white clouds are Su Yang everywhere." In Shanghai, the free trade zone has been tried first, and the Shanghai electronic port has become a powerful measure to promote the integration of customs clearance, greatly improving the convenience of customs clearance for ships and goods. Wusongkou International Cruise Port has become the largest cruise home port in Asia and the fourth largest in the world. Shanghai, as an international metropolis, is constantly moving towards higher development goals.

  The great river flows to the sea, and a new era will come. As a young reporter, I would like to be a recorder of the Yangtze River in the new era, and always pay attention to and repay the mother river! I wish the Yangtze River a better place, and I wish a river with clear water will last forever! (Economic Daily-China Economic Net reporter Wu Hao)

  Carry out green development to the end

  In midsummer, we started from the source of the mother river of the Yangtze River and went down the river to interview and investigate.

  The interview for nearly a month is a particularly precious experience. Although the journey was tiring, I learned and tried many new ways of communication, which benefited me a lot. On July 31, under the command of the front and rear, I cooperated with journalists and website video reporters to bring a "mobile" report, which was broadcast live on a 1,000-ton passenger ship and a 100-meter elevator crossing the Three Gorges Dam, with more than 1.2 million people watching.

  I was shocked by the live broadcast of the Three Gorges Dam. At the same time, the live broadcast experience made me feel that as a new media reporter, I should make more efforts to enrich the reporting forms. Tap the keyboard with one pair of hands to record what you see and hear; It is my duty to focus on finding the most beautiful images with one lens. Camera and mobile phone have become pens in my hand. It is my pursuit to immerse myself in the true feelings and portray the beauty of development and construction of the Yangtze River Economic Belt with new media language. In the youth of my life, I am proud to devote myself to my favorite journalism industry, and this unforgettable memory will be engraved in my heart forever.

  Looking back on this trip, I saw the mountains and the waters, listening to river of no return and seeing the picturesque scenery. Walking in 11 provinces and cities along the Yangtze River Economic Belt, bending down, sinking down and grounding, trying to tell the stories of ecological Yangtze River, economic Yangtze River, cultural Yangtze River and people’s livelihood Yangtze River, also made me realize that it is everyone’s responsibility to protect the mother river of the Yangtze River. We should treat nature with awe, carry out green development to the end, and keep our mother river alive forever. (Economic Daily-China Economic Net reporter Zhang Qian)

  Professional accomplishment and physical training

  From the gathering of experts in Lijiang, Yunnan, intensive interviews have been conducted all over the travel itinerary every day. "How to show the first-hand scene to the greatest extent in a limited time and deliver the stories along the Yangtze River Economic Belt to the audience?" This is not only a practical test of whether new media and traditional media products can complement each other and interact with each other, but also a field training for me.

  In front of Xiangjiaba Hydropower Station in Zhaotong City, Yunnan Province, I asked the responsible comrades of the local water conservancy department, "What is the breakthrough to achieve synergy between the power station construction and the expansion of neighboring ports" and "How to upgrade the power station function and help the downstream agricultural irrigation" … … Although there are still no definite answers to some questions at present, many ideas that lead to exploration are expressed in communication. It is this kind of thinking collision that presents the audience with a magnificent picture of the construction of the Yangtze River Economic Belt, and also makes me touch a business ladder of "endless learning" in the report — — To do news, we must not only fight for skills and awareness, but also deepen the various background materials in the reporting field.

  To ensure the high-quality completion of the task, the second thing to be tempered is physical fitness. On the first day of the interview in Yunnan, a 20 kg bag was carried on the back, plateau, load, sun exposure, and high-intensity interview … … Let me realize the taste of "gritting my teeth" as my predecessors said; It took me nearly 4 hours to travel to Wushan County, Chongqing, and the Panshan Highway made me understand that physical fitness is also an important guarantee for my business ability. (China Economic Net reporter Xiao Wei)

  Protect our mother river together.

  I got on the boat from Wuhan and went down along the river. Along the way, I deeply felt that all localities were taking practical actions for the development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt and the environmental protection of the Yangtze River basin.

  There are two scenes that I remember deeply.

  One is the Freshwater Dolphin National Reserve in Tongling, Anhui Province. When interviewing Zhang Bajin, a finless porpoise breeder for 20 years, he said that he knew every finless porpoise he kept like the back of his hand. For decades, he regarded the finless porpoise as his own child, and appeared at the feeding point on time every day for decades without interruption. When he said that with the improvement of the water quality of the Yangtze River, the number of finless porpoises in the nature reserve has increased from the initial 3 to 11, his eyes were filled with tears of joy.

  The second is in Songjiang, Shanghai. The G60 Industrial Park, which the local government aims to develop the economy and improve the local environment, has now reached the third stage. With the promotion of governments at all levels, Shanghai, Anhui, Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, a total of nine cities, will work together for common development and build an economic union in the Yangtze River Delta region.

  From these two things, we can see that the concept of building a Yangtze River Economic Belt with "clear water, sky blue, green land and excellent industry" has penetrated into individuals, enterprises and governments at all levels. Everyone is consciously practicing the concept of "jointly protecting and not developing".

  "I live at the head of the Yangtze River, and you live at the tail of the Yangtze River". Only by jointly guarding our mother river can we truly embark on a new path of ecological priority and green development. (China Economic Net reporter Wang Zhongqiang)

Is there a cured life behind every "moving knife"?

  Image source: vision china

  CCTV News:(Reporter Di Chenchen Wang Jiaying) "From the top of the forehead to the eyebrows, from the eyebrows to the nose, from the nose to the chin, each accounting for 1/3. The width of the face is measured by the width of the eyes and divided into 5 equal parts."

  Sheng Nan drew a few times in front of the mirror, and all three courts and five eyes met the aesthetic standards. "Am I really ugly?"

  Faced with the delicate and confident appearance of old classmates whom I haven’t seen for several years, Sheng Nan, who has been dressed as a tomboy and laughing for more than 20 years, began to pay attention to "Yan value" under a series of stimuli.

  The heat in August seems to have brought Sheng Nan a little anxiety. She classified herself as "unsightly". When dieting and exercise still failed, she thought of the most convenient way: plastic surgery. This previously unthinkable behavior was put on the agenda.

  It’s not nine o’clock in the morning, and people are coming and going in the corridor of the outpatient building of the plastic surgery hospital. What surprised Sheng Nan even more was that she was not the youngest among the students in their early twenties.

  Linlin, a cosmetic consultant in 1993, worked for more than two years. She showed Sheng Nan the case with an iPad, and conveniently took out a mirror from the pocket of her pink gown. In the mirror, Sheng Nan’s pores were clearly visible.

  According to Linlin, a cosmetic consultant, the public’s concept of medical beauty has already changed.

  "In the past, women in their 30 s and 40 s were afraid to let their families know when they cut their double eyelids and made a face. They were all secretive when they walked on the road; Now I even have a husband to accompany me, and some projects will be done together. In the past, younger people would do some basic projects behind their parents’ backs. Now there are many parents accompanying them, and they will not reject large-scale medical beauty projects. "

  In less than a month, Sheng Nan has been able to generously admit to her friends that she has had plastic surgery. In her opinion, young people of her generation prefer to refer to these behaviors collectively as — — "medical beauty" (medical beauty).

  "Being ugly makes me feel worse than being single."

  Young faces like Sheng Nan are not uncommon in plastic surgery hospitals. Especially after the summer vacation, the number of students admitted to the hospital increased significantly.

  "The student group is special and needs the support of family members." Luan Jie, vice president of Plastic Surgery Hospital of China Academy of Medical Sciences, said.

  In cosmetic surgery, face-to-face consultation is very important. This link will determine whether it is suitable for fine-tuning and the preliminary plan of surgery. "Many times parents accompany their children to face-to-face consultation, and the two sides may have different opinions on specific details. Therefore, we usually advise parents and children to communicate fully, and the surgery can only be confirmed after both parties agree. "

  Lin Xiao did this rhinoplasty operation without telling her family. This is not the first time she has operated. After the third nose repair, the change was particularly obvious because it was European-style, like a different person. "My parents saw it and wouldn’t even let me see my grandparents, for fear that they couldn’t accept the stimulation."

  When she was a child, Lin Xiao was very fat, so she was isolated. She was once pointed at and scolded by a person in the street, "a particularly ugly word", and she didn’t know how to deal with it except to go away quickly. From then on, she began to lose weight crazily, and the height of 1.7 meters was just as thin as 80 pounds. "Seriously, after losing weight, although she is not ugly and fat, she is still an ordinary person, which is too far from those counterattack posts on the Internet and too far from what I expected." Lin Xiao looked at a bunch of suitors around other girls. She lost so much weight but still didn’t change anything, so she moved the idea of plastic surgery.

  Image source: vision china

  She cut her double eyelids first, then moved her nose. She felt that her nose was not satisfied, so she repaired it twice. She also went to South Korea to make a three-piece outline, and her double eyelids were readjusted. Counting the face-lifting needle and hyaluronic acid, Lin Xiao was already regarded as the "old Jianghu" in the plastic surgery industry.

  "Generally, I am satisfied, but of course there are times when I am not satisfied." Lin Xiao didn’t worry about the risk of plastic surgery, the wound couldn’t heal, the flesh and blood couldn’t grow, and it might really be disfigured. During the operation in Korea, she watched the girls covered in gauze, unable to move, and had to insert a catheter for several days, which was really scary. However, with the increase in the number of plastic surgery, Lin Xiao became more and more indifferent. "Everyone is fine. I have experienced it so many times. Anyway, now that medical beauty is so developed, I will adjust it if it doesn’t look good."

  "After all, ugliness is terrible!" Because the appearance has been treated unfairly and tasted the sweetness of good-looking, Lin Xiao can no longer be willing to lose these treatments. "Under the same working ability, the company will definitely choose good-looking rather than ugly. And people will be very tolerant of good-looking people, even if they make mistakes, they can be forgiven. For ugly people, they will say, you have grown like this, don’t you work hard? Still making mistakes? "

  "A gamble of beauty seekers"

  Disassembly of the word "Yan value": Yan, appearance; Value, numerical value Invisible, the face value is measured and compared.

  Daniel Homer, an American labor economist, pointed out in his article Yan value and labor market that there are both ugly fines and Yan value bonuses in society, and people with high Yan value can get more salary and opportunities.

  This concept has become the driving force for some people to accept plastic surgery.

  Gege, who is a sophomore, has undergone several cosmetic operations, and she knows the way of plastic surgery hospital very well. Which doctor is good at eye synthesis, which one can cut bones and which one is the most natural for lip augmentation … … These experiences are the result of her practice.

  "Some black institutions have deep routines, which will induce consumers. Many people who are addicted to cosmetic surgery are more dependent on the instigation of cosmetic surgery institutions besides the dependence on cosmetic surgery itself." What is even more inconceivable is that "the person who will be double eyelid surgery for you may start his career after only three days of study".

  Gege feels that most of the time cosmetic surgery is an adventure. "I don’t know what I will be like, and it is impossible to predict whether it is good or bad." If you don’t want to into the pit, you have to do your homework.

  In the waiting area of outpatient surgery in plastic surgery hospital, Gege waited for surgery accompanied by her mother. "Today, I will bury the thread and make a double eyelid. I don’t want to move other parts, such as a high nose, big eyes, a pointed chin and a plump forehead. That’s it ‘ Net red face ’ Well, that’s not me. " Referring to why I want plastic surgery, "I am a part-time graphic model. In this line, I rarely don’t move my knife. Only when I am more beautiful can I have better resources."

  Unlike Gege, Sheng Nan is a little white in the field of cosmetic surgery. Although she doesn’t shy away from cosmetic surgery, Sheng Nan admits that she had backed out before the operation. "When I really lie in the hospital bed and the long needle is aimed at myself, my heart is still tight, silently praying that something bad will not happen."

  During the facial recovery period, Sheng Nan felt that she had not changed much from the original, but after all this, she thought clearly that beauty depends on her heart.

  In Sheng Nan’s sister’s view, Sheng Nan’s facial features are not bad, but she should pay attention to dressing. "Now the makeup technology is so strong, there is really no need for plastic surgery."

  Before that, my sister told Sheng Nan that some people with congenital facial deformities would go to plastic surgery hospitals and rely on medical technology to trim their faces. For these people, plastic surgery is a "timely help", but it is not advisable to expect to change their fate just to improve their looks.

  "Forced plastic surgery" still owes more than 40,000 yuan in loans.

  If it is your right to take the initiative to choose cosmetic surgery, it is ridiculous to be forced to have cosmetic surgery.

  Ms. Liu was attracted by an advertisement for "assistant to the general manager": the monthly salary was 12,000 to 20,000, and no work experience was needed. Ms. Liu, the HR director of the recruitment company, interviewed in the conference room on the fifth floor of a hotel outside the South Third Ring Road in Beijing.

  "At that time, I decided to stay as his assistant, and then arranged for someone to take me to do a facial lift."

  A staff member named "Qian Meng" said that Mr. Shen’s assistant is the facade of the company, so it is necessary to carry out facial lifting and plastic surgery. The expenses will be paid in advance by the parties, and eventually the company will pay.

  With confusion, Ms. Liu was taken to a hospital near the Fifth Ring Road in northwest Beijing, and then the hospital gave her a plastic surgery plan to "do facial filling and face-lifting needles on her forehead and temples", which cost more than 40,000 yuan. "Meng Meng" was revealed to Ms. Liu, because "Mr. Shen has cooperated with this hospital and they have a good relationship, so we came to this hospital."

  Considering that one month after work, she will earn 10,000 to 20,000 yuan, and Ms. Liu will not care about these conditions. Later, "Meng Meng" operated Ms. Liu’s mobile phone and applied for a small loan of more than 40,000 yuan for cosmetic expenses.

  The whole operation lasted for several hours, and Ms. Liu kept vomiting after the operation. She found that in addition to the passive knife on her face, she also had injuries on her thighs, and a large piece of meat was missing from her thighs. "It looks terrible, but the dean of the operation said it was all like this."

  After so many twists and turns, Ms. Liu wanted to be the assistant of General Shen when she recovered. During this time, the company’s people have also kept in touch with Ms. Liu, asking questions. But when she reported to the new company, she was told that Mr. Shen had left.

  "Shen always told me, I’m sorry, I have a little situation here, and I’m going to leave without pay. He said that if I am on the job, the money for cosmetic surgery can be directly given to you, but I am not on the job, and I still owe a debt myself. I have no choice. "

  Seeing that the job is going to be yellow, "Manager Shen" said that she can be recommended to another "Manager Yao" in the company.

  After a while, another general manager came. "He told me directly. It’s not the same with manager Shen here. I can make money here. I can guarantee that you can earn hundreds of dollars a month. But you have to be particularly open. " Ms. Liu further asked, "What does openness mean?" "It’s just that some customers need to accompany them to drink, which is very easy."

  Ms. Liu refused the company’s request. After knowing it, she felt that she had fallen into a recruitment trap, and the loan of more than 40,000 yuan for cosmetic surgery could only be repaid slowly by herself.
