Record low! Six bankers announced interest rate cuts!

Just now, cut interest rates!

On October 18th, Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, China Construction Bank, Bank of Communications, Agricultural Bank, Bank of China and Postal Savings Bank respectively issued announcements to lower the deposit interest rate.

The six major banks have updated the deposit listing interest rate. Regular three-month, six-month, one-year, two-year, three-year and five-year periods are all lowered by 25 basis points, which are 0.80%, 1.00%, 1.10%, 1.20%, 1.50% and 1.55% respectively. The interest rate of 7-day call deposit decreased by 25BP to 0.45%, and that of 1-day call deposit decreased by 5BP to 0.10%.

This is the sixth time since September 2022 that the Bank has taken the initiative to lower the deposit interest rate after July, less than three months later.

Stepping into October, a new round of deposit interest rate reduction began-this round of small and medium-sized banks were the first to move. China, a brokerage firm, learned that the first banks to take action were more than ten village banks in Guangdong, Hainan, Henan, Guizhou and Yunnan, among which Qionghai Xingfu Village Bank in Hainan even lowered the three-year and five-year fixed deposit rates by 50 BP and 100 basis points to 2.5% and 2% respectively.

After several small and medium-sized banks have taken action, the big banks have begun to move. This round of the industry’s psychological expectation of the deposit interest rate reduction is considered to be the result of the downward adjustment of the mortgage interest rate of LPR’s downward superimposed stock.

Small and medium-sized banks take the lead.

Since the last round (July 25th) of deposit interest rate adjustment led by state-owned banks, followed by stock banks and city rural commercial banks, a new round of deposit interest rate adjustment began more than two months later (that is, since the beginning of October).

This time, the deposit interest rate has a remarkable feature: unlike the previous big banks, this time small and medium-sized banks took the lead.

According to the information roughly summarized by China, a brokerage firm, since October, more than ten small and medium-sized banks, including Henan Suiping Zhongyuan Village Bank, Guangdong Qingxin Rural Commercial Bank, Qionghai Xingfu Village Bank, Guizhou Duyun Rural Commercial Bank, Xinjiang Korla Fumin Village Bank, Jilin Jingyu Ganfeng Village Bank, Shanghai Qingpu Huijin Village Bank, Shanxi Fenyang Jiudu Village Bank, Xinjiang Changji Rural Commercial Bank, Heilongjiang Helen Huifeng Village Bank, etc., have announced that they will lower the listing interest rates of different kinds of deposits.

Many of these small and medium-sized banks have been downgraded for more than three rounds: Wenchang Xingfu Village Bank in Hainan Province and Suiping Zhongyuan Village Bank in Henan Province were downgraded for the third time this year, and Jilin Jingyu Ganfeng Village Bank cut interest rates for the fourth time this year.

After many small and medium-sized banks have moved first, the big banks began to act.

It is worth mentioning that this is the sixth time that the Bank has lowered the deposit interest rate since September 2022 and the second time this year. On October 18th, Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (601398), China Construction Bank (601939), Bank of Communications (601328), Agricultural Bank (601288), Bank of China (601988) and Postal Savings Bank respectively issued announcements to lower the deposit interest rate.

In fact, the deposit interest rate cut is expected. On September 24th, Pan Gongsheng, governor of the central bank, said at the press conference of the State Council Office that the policy interest rate of the central bank would be lowered. It is expected that after this policy interest rate adjustment, the medium-term lending facility (MLF) interest rate will be lowered by about 0.3 percentage points, and the loan market quotation rate (LPR) and deposit interest rate will also be lowered by 0.2 to 0.25 percentage points.

On September 27th, the central bank announced that the operating interest rate of 7-day reverse repurchase in the open market has been adjusted from the previous 1.7% to 1.5% since that day.

Many banks have long expected.

No matter who leads the downward adjustment and who follows, in fact, banks have basically the same understanding of the necessity of reducing deposit costs.

From the end of 2021 to the end of June 2024, the net interest margin of national commercial banks continued to decline from 2.08% to 1.54%. Since 2022, the downward adjustment of deposit interest rates has been aimed at reducing the debt cost of banks and alleviating the downward spread of interest margins. However, the net interest margin of China’s banking industry is still in a downward range, but the downward steepness of each bank is different.

"In July this year, LPR dropped by 10 BP, and deposits simultaneously cut interest rates. Through this policy of two-way start of assets and liabilities, the net interest margin was stabilized. This round of logic is the same," concluded a big banker.

In fact, many banks have already made predictions at the semi-annual performance conference. "On the debt side, we will simultaneously reduce the RMB listing interest rate and the upper limit of the self-discipline mechanism with other stock banks, and the deposit cost is expected to be further reduced. Therefore, on the whole, the overall interest margin of the Bank will narrow in the second half of the year, but it is expected to be better than the budget target of 1.8% set by us at the beginning of the year, and it is expected to outperform the market, "said the senior management of Industrial Bank (601166) at its semi-annual results conference.

China Merchants Bank executives bluntly stated at the performance conference that the net interest margin remained under pressure and listed three major influencing factors.

The first is the impact of re-pricing. The repricing impact caused by the downward adjustment of LPR and the overall downward adjustment of the interest rate of existing housing loans last year is still being released, and will continue to be affected this year and even for some time to come.

The second is the influence of supply and demand. In terms of loans, the competition among peers for high-quality projects, housing mortgage loans and other assets has led to a decline in prices, which has brought downward pressure on asset returns. The influence of supply and demand is also reflected in the debt side. For example, although the deposit cost has declined due to the interest rate reduction, it is still relatively rigid overall. This is also related to the increasingly fierce competition for deposits in the current market.

The third is the influence of structural factors. The decline in the proportion of retail credit cards and housing mortgage loans leads to the decline in the overall loan yield, while the decline in the proportion of demand in the deposit structure also leads to the rigidity of the overall deposit cost.

It is worth mentioning that Moody’s recently released the report "China Banking-Long-term low interest rates will continue to exert pressure on the profitability of banks", and the relevant views in the report just involve the internal relationship between the cost of deposit funds and the net interest margin.

Moody’s said that the net interest margin of China’s banks will be constrained by low interest rates. Fierce competition and dependence on deposit funds make it difficult for banks in China to maintain net interest margin by rapidly reducing the cost of capital. We expect that the measures taken by China banks to reduce the cost of deposits can only partially offset the impact of the decrease in asset returns with the downward adjustment of policy interest rates. In addition, because low-cost demand deposits are converted into time deposits, it is difficult for banks to significantly reduce their deposit costs.

Over 20 cities support housing provident fund as down payment: accelerate the pace of just-needed groups entering the market

  "Housing provident fund can be used as down payment" is becoming one of the contents in the policy toolbox of local property markets.

  According to the incomplete statistics of The Paper, up to now, at least over 20 cities including Qingdao, Guangdong Meizhou, Meishan, Fujian Xiamen, Mianyang, Liaoning Shenyang, Zunyi, Sichuan Ziyang, Shanwei, Guangdong Zhuhai, Quanzhou, Nanping, Zhangzhou, Chaozhou, Huizhou, Zhongshan, Longyan, Ya ‘an, Anhui Chizhou, Lu ‘an and Huainan have mentioned that they can withdraw their provident funds.

  Take Meizhou, Guangdong Province as an example. Recently, Meizhou Housing Provident Fund Management Center announced the Implementation Rules for Employees to Withdraw Housing Provident Fund as Down Payment for House Purchase, which clarified that employees and their spouses who have paid in Meizhou City to purchase commercial housing (or second-hand houses) within the administrative area of this city, and signed a house purchase contract with real estate enterprises (or handled the transfer formalities of immovable property certificate with the seller) but have not paid the down payment in full, they can withdraw the provident fund as down payment.

  Taking Qingdao, Shandong Province as an example, on August 31 this year, Qingdao Housing Provident Fund Management Center issued a notice on supporting employees to withdraw housing provident fund to pay the down payment for house purchase, which clearly stated that if they purchase new commercial houses within the administrative area of Qingdao, they can apply for withdrawing the housing provident fund under the names of the buyers and their spouses to pay the down payment for house purchase. At the same time, the scope of the above-mentioned policies will be relaxed in stages. If the first family self-occupied house is purchased within one year from the effective date of this notice, the purchaser and his immediate family members will be supported to withdraw the housing provident fund to pay the down payment for the house purchase. The policy relaxation is valid from September 1, 2022 to August 31, 2023.

  After the implementation of the New Deal, the effectiveness of the policy began to appear. According to the data disclosed by Qingdao Housing Provident Fund Management Center on October 8, since the implementation of the new policy of withdrawing housing provident fund to pay the down payment for house purchase for one month, the Municipal Housing Provident Fund Management Center has handled the information filing of 352 real estate fund supervision accounts, and has withdrawn 4.73 million yuan of housing provident fund for employees to pay the down payment for house purchase, supporting rigid and improved housing demand, further guiding market expectations, boosting housing consumption, and promoting the virtuous cycle and healthy development of the real estate industry.

  Also supporting the provident fund for the down payment is Huainan, Anhui. On May 24th this year, Huainan issued "Opinions on Promoting the Stable and Healthy Development of the Real Estate Market in the City", which also mentioned that the housing provident fund can be withdrawn to pay the down payment for the purchase of new commercial housing.

  By July 25th, the data released by Huainan Housing Provident Fund Management Center showed that since the implementation of the New Deal, Fengtai Sub-center of the Municipal Provident Fund Center had handled 12 cases to support employees to withdraw provident fund for the down payment of house purchase, amounting to 1.445 million yuan. 48 new loans with an amount of 17.942 million yuan; A total of 0.54 million square meters was supported for employees to purchase houses, which directly boosted housing consumption by 33.4787 million yuan.

  Zhang Bo, dean of the branch of 58 Anjuke Real Estate Research Institute, pointed out that in the past, if the provident fund in most cities needed to be withdrawn, it was usually used to repay the principal or offset the monthly payment after the loan was completed. It is clear that the provident fund can be used as the down payment for buying a house, which shows that the provident fund has more convenience in use and can play a greater role in releasing some precipitated and long-term unused provident funds. In the actual purchase process, the ability to pay will be improved, which will also accelerate the pace of entering the market, especially for the first group that just needs it, and improve the utilization rate of the provident fund as a whole.

  Chen Xiao, a senior analyst at Zhuge Housing Search Data Research Center, mentioned that from the perspective of urban distribution, the cities that introduced this policy are mainly third-and fourth-tier cities, supplemented by some weak second-tier cities. The third-and fourth-tier cities have experienced several rounds of policy loosening this year. In fact, the boosting effect on the market is limited, and the market needs more substantive and powerful policy blessings. From the perspective of policy means, the provident fund policy, as an important means of policy adjustment since this year, has been an advanced process of loosening the policy, from the initial increase in the amount of provident fund loans and the reduction in the down payment ratio of provident fund to the direct permission to withdraw the provident fund as the down payment, which has given greater support to buyers and released a more flexible and relaxed policy orientation in the use of provident fund in the future. From the effect point of view, the policy is of great significance to appropriately reduce the purchase cost of buyers, further alleviate the pressure of buyers’ purchase funds, and at the same time give more in-depth play to the supporting role of housing provident fund for buyers, boost buyers’ home ownership sentiment, and promote the release of rigid and improved housing demand.

Jews have lived in China for thousands of years. Why are they rarely seen now?

Jews in China.

Editor | |Thomas

The Jewish nation originated in Canaan (present-day Palestine). In the first century A.D., due to the uprising against the Roman Empire, it was driven out of its hometown and scattered in all directions. From then on, until the founding of Israel in 1948, they drifted for almost two thousand years.

▲ In 70 AD, the resistance to Roman rule failed, and the Jews were driven out of their homes and scattered in all directions.

The vast majority of Jews are scattered in Eastern Europe, the Middle East and the Mediterranean, and some Jews continue to migrate to China in the farther east. Although the Silk Road is long, it has already spread China’s influence to every corner of the world. According to modern archaeological discoveries, as early as the Zhou Dynasty, Jews had arrived in China to engage in trade.

At the beginning of the 11th century, Kaifeng, the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty, formed the first Jewish community, and gradually achieved the same social status as the Han people. From modern times to World War II, the number of Jews in China reached tens of thousands, reaching a historical peak.

After World War II, the vast majority of Jews left China, so that a brand-new minority was not formed, and only a few Jewish descendants were integrated into the Chinese nation. What happened in the meantime?

I the rise and fall of the Jewish community in Kaifeng

According to archaeological experts, as early as the Zhou Dynasty and the Qin and Han Dynasties, there were Jews doing business in the Central Plains. It has been confirmed by archaeological excavations that a large number of Jews arrived in China in the Tang Dynasty.

At the beginning of the 20th century, British and French explorers discovered Hebrew letters and prayers in Xinjiang, and the writing time was determined around 718 AD, that is, the early reign of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. Experts believe that these Jews came to China to do business through the overland Silk Road.

▲ The British explorer Stein discovered the earliest Hebrew letter, and he is also one of the biggest cultural relics thieves in China.

The northern song dynasty failed to regain control of the western regions, and the silk road on land was no longer safe and prosperous, and the silk road on the sea rose accordingly. In October 998, a group of Jews arrived in China by Arab merchant ships, then passed through Quanzhou and Yangzhou, and arrived in Kaifeng, the capital at that time.

Modern research shows that these Jews should belong to the Jewish community in the Persian region. Their preserved Jewish scriptures are consistent with Persian Jews, and their DNA is closer to Middle Eastern Jews. This view occupies a dominant position in the current academic circles.

The Song Dynasty was a relatively open and tolerant dynasty. Arabs, Persians, Europeans and other foreigners were not discriminated against, and their business was unimpeded. They could also become officials in the DPRK, and Jews were no exception.

▲ Jews from the Middle East arrived in Kaifeng through the Maritime Silk Road.

Because of good management, Jews began to buy real estate, formed their own community in a street in Kaifeng and Heshun District, and their lives were quite rich. Kaifeng people call Jews "people who give happiness", which is the transliteration of "Israel" by Song people.

Kaifeng people like exotic goods brought by Jews, but they are also curious about their religious rituals and customs, but they are not offended at all, which makes Jews feel safe and satisfied. In order to gain the official recognition of the Song Dynasty, Jews learned from other foreigners and made an audience with Song Zhenzong through the Ministry of Rites, hoping to live in Kaifeng forever.

In 1008, Song Zhenzong issued a letter, saying, "It’s midsummer for me, and I will abide by the ancestral style and leave the capital of song dynasty", allowing them to take the imperial examination and keep their own customs. In 1127, Song Huizong ordered that one hundred and twenty pieces of silver be appropriated to help them build a synagogue.

▲ In the Qingming Riverside Map, Kaifeng was the largest city in the world at that time, accommodating all foreign nationalities.

Unfortunately, before this hall was built, Jurchen from the north had already arrived in Enemy at the Gates, breached Kaifeng, and captured Emperor Huiqin, and the Northern Song Dynasty ended, which was known as the "Jingkang Change".

The Jewish community in Kaifeng has just emerged, with a population of just over 500, and it has to face a brand-new "Jin" dynasty. Jews chose to stay in Kaifeng and continue to run their own business. In fact, due to the lack of talents in financial management in the "Jin" and "Yuan" Hu dynasties, the status of Jews has been improved.

Jin Dynasty Emperor Wan Yanliang intended to follow the example of the Northern Song Dynasty in issuing paper money "Jiaozi", but all the coin-making officials in the Song Dynasty fled south, and Wan Yanliang was unavailable. Therefore, some ministers proposed that Jews should finish this work.

▲ Jin Dynasty’s "Jiaozi" and its impression. The Jews designed the first edition of "Jiaozi" for the Jin Dynasty in the style of the Northern Song Dynasty.

Jews learned from the mature experience of paper money in the Northern Song Dynasty, coupled with their own business talent, and designed the Jin version of "Jiaozi" in just a few days. In addition, they also suggested that the Jin Dynasty set up a special paper money management institution "Pedestrian", which can be regarded as the embryonic form of the bank and has some functions of the central bank.

In 1163, in order to reward the contribution of the Jews, the Jin Dynasty allocated funds to build the first synagogue in the Hutong of Kaifeng. After the destruction of gold in the Yuan Dynasty, Jews continued to serve the Yuan Dynasty, which was also recognized by the Yuan Dynasty. In 1279, the hall was rebuilt, with an area of more than 10,000 square meters.

The real peak of the Jewish community in Kaifeng was in the Ming Dynasty, which grew to more than 500 households with more than 5,000 people. They not only gave themselves the Chinese surname, but also became officials through the imperial examination, and began to accept Confucianism, naturalized Chinese civilization, and their social status was completely equal to that of Han people.

▲ At the end of the 20th century, overseas Jews visited the Jewish old site in Kaifeng.

In other parts of the world, Jews insist on using their own Hebrew language and writing, but this situation has changed in China. During the hundreds of years from Song Dynasty to Ming Dynasty, Kaifeng Jews gradually learned Chinese in their long-term common life with Chinese. What’s more, Chinese never discriminates against them, which makes them have no reason to refuse to learn Chinese.

The problem of intermarriage with Chinese also experienced the process from prohibition to relaxation. After the Song Dynasty, there were wars in China, and there were few foreign Jews. In order to maintain the reproduction and survival of the Jewish community, they began to intermarry with Chinese. According to statistics in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, Kaifeng Jews married at least 40 non-Jewish women.

In language, marriage, culture, employment and so on, Kaifeng Jews are more and more like Chinese. By the end of the Qing Dynasty, Zhao Jincheng, the leader of Kaifeng Jews, did not know Hebrew. They still kept their ancestors’ scriptures and genealogy, but no one gathered for church again and the synagogue was in ruins.

▲ Jewish memorial hall and Jewish genealogy in Kaifeng city.

In 1854, the Yellow River flooded, the Kaifeng synagogue was razed to the ground, religious ceremonies stopped completely, the whole Jewish community disintegrated completely, and some remaining cultural relics were snapped up by foreign missionaries. The former site of the synagogue was later sold and turned into the present Kaifeng Chinese Medicine Hospital.

At this point, the Jewish community in Kaifeng was founded in 998 AD, dissipated in the early 20th century, went through a whole thousand years, and finally completely integrated into the Chinese nation. At present, there are about 200 descendants of Jews in Kaifeng. Some people are still trying to get back the memories of their ancestors, but they all think they are Chinese, just to find their roots.

▲ The last relic of Kaifeng Jewish synagogue is an ancient well in Kaifeng Chinese Medicine Hospital.

Second, Jewish businessmen doing business in China in modern times

After being forced to leave Canaan, Jews scattered in all directions. By the middle ages, it had been divided into three main groups: Eastern Jews distributed in the Arab region; Sefadi Jews are distributed in the Mediterranean region; Ashkenaz Jews are distributed in continental Europe. Since modern times, the global colonization activities of Europeans have made the activity areas of three parts of Jews overlap.

Many Sefadi Jews have joined Britain, France and other nationalities. They followed the footsteps of European colonists and established business networks around the world. As soon as China was opened to the world by the Opium War, Sefadi Jews beat us to it and made investments and business in China. Sassoon was the representative among them.

▲ Sassoon Building, located at the Nanjing intersection of the Bund, is now part of the Peace Hotel.

David sassoon, the founder of Sassoon Foreign Firm, is a British Jew and one of the British businessmen who export opium to China the most. After 1840, Sassoon opened foreign firms in Hong Kong, Guangzhou and Shanghai, especially in Shanghai, which was a great success, dealing in opium, cotton yarn, arms and so on, with branches all over the country.

The flourishing development of the Sefadi Jewish business group in Shanghai led to the establishment of the Jewish community in Shanghai, including Jewish cemeteries, synagogues and schools. In 1910, the Shanghai Jewish Association was formally established, and then a larger synagogue was built and Jewish newspapers were founded, which played a role in rallying Shanghai Jews.

▲ The former site of Shanghai Jewish General Association, founded in 1911, is located at No.722 Nanjing West Road.

The Shanghai Jewish community, dominated by Sefadi Jews, is relatively small in number, but has strong economic strength. Their main purpose is charity relief, and they also set up the Shanghai Jewish Saint Society, which specializes in this work. The agency opened a hospital in 1934 to help Jews living in Shanghai.

Almost at the same time that Sefadi Jews established the Shanghai community, another group of Jews also established their own community in China. They are Jews from Russia and belong to Ashkenaz Jews on the European continent. Unlike the wealthy Sefadi Jews, these Russian Jews came to China to take refuge.

Third, Russian Jews who took refuge in China in modern times

At the end of 19th century, Ashkenaz Jews were mainly distributed in Germany, Poland, Russia and other countries, among which the living environment of Russian Jews was worse. The czar government not only forced them to convert to the Orthodox Church, but also imposed heavy taxes and military service. The constant wave of anti-Semitism in Russia also frightened Jews.

Just in order to develop the Far East and encourage Europeans to emigrate, the czar government adopted a more relaxed ethnic policy in the Far East. As a result, Jews poured into the Far East, and the Soviet Union even established a Jewish autonomous prefecture on the Sino-Russian border. Some Jews also entered Harbin, a city in China occupied by Russia, and the Shanghai Concession.

▲ Harbin Jewish Church, which has been changed to Jewish History and Culture Museum.

Before the October Revolution in Russia, more than 6,000 Jews lived in Harbin and operated hundreds of industrial and commercial enterprises. After the "October Revolution", a large number of wealthy old Russian aristocrats fled Russia for fear of the red regime, and many of them came to Harbin and Shanghai.

The number of Russian Jews in Harbin has soared to more than 20,000, and the number of Russian Jews in Shanghai has also exceeded 4,000. There are also some Russian Jews who moved from Harbin to Tianjin Concession, reaching 3500 at most.

▲ Tianjin synagogue, located at the intersection of Nanjing Road and Zhengzhou Road in Heping District.

Russian Jews in Shanghai did not completely join the Sefadi Jewish community from the beginning, and kept their independence. After their number was greatly increased, they set up their own independent organization in 1932.

Compared with the charity function of Sefadi Jewish community, Russian Jews pay more attention to the propaganda and activities of Zionism. Zionism is the idea of returning to Palestine and establishing a Jewish homeland. Russian Jews all over China have established Zionist organizations to unite Jews.

Russian Jews are the majority of modern Jews who have lived in China for a long time. They came to China because of persecution and were full of enthusiasm for Zionism.

Fourth, Jewish refugees who took refuge in China during World War II

In 1933, the German Nazis came to power, showing an obvious anti-Semitic tendency. Some German Jews began to leave their motherland and went to relatives and friends all over the world. By the summer of 1937, about 1,500 Jews had arrived in Shanghai by normal sea.

▲ Nazi Germany set off a climax of anti-Semitism, and Jews fled Germany and German-controlled areas.

In August 1937, Germany set off a large-scale wave of anti-Semitism, and the number of Jews coming to China increased sharply. In two years, at least 20,000 Jews arrived in Shanghai. When the world closed its doors to Jews, Shanghai opened its doors to these Jewish refugees for two reasons:

The first is that Shanghai was in a delicate period at that time. After the Battle of Songhu in 1937, most of Shanghai was occupied by the Japanese, and the China government lost its jurisdiction over Shanghai. As a result, Shanghai has become a "free port" and can enter without any proof or guarantee.

▲ Jews fled Nazi Germany.

The second reason is the act of He Fengshan, Consul General of China in Austria. Seeing that the Nazi persecution of Jews is getting worse, He Fengshan, Britain and the United States and other countries refused to accept more Jewish refugees, issued Chinese visas to a large number of Austrian Jews to help them leave this country that was about to be annexed by the Nazis.

▲ China diplomat He Fengshan, who saved a large number of Jews from escaping from the tiger’s mouth, and a sculpture commemorating him.

Due to the large number of Jewish refugees and poor economic conditions, most of them can only live in Hongkou District in the north of the public concession. Under the pressure of the Nazis, the Japanese occupation authorities set up an isolation zone in 1943, limiting Jewish refugees to live only in Hongkou and Yangshupu areas.

Despite the hard years of Japanese occupation, Shanghai residents still tried their best to help Jewish refugees. They vacated their houses for Jewish refugees to live in and treat Jewish refugees injured in the war.

▲ Memorial Hall for Jewish Refugees in Hongkou District, Shanghai, the main settlement of Jewish refugees in that year.

At first, Jewish refugees joined the early Russian Jewish community. With the increase in the number of refugees and the complexity of nationality, refugees have set up their own associations and become the main organizations to contact and help Jewish refugees.

Generally speaking, although the Jewish refugees who took refuge in Shanghai are hard, their life safety is still guaranteed. Many people do business in Shanghai and their lives are not so bad. So they spent the whole World War II.

V. The disappearance of Jewish communities in China.

On May 14th, 1948, the State of Israel was proclaimed, and the Jews finally had their own homeland. Three Jewish communities in modern China also welcomed their own homes.

▲ On May 14, 1948, Israel announced the founding of the country in the birthplace of Palestine (Canaan).

Sefadi Jewish businessmen, mainly British and American, became enemies of the Japanese authorities after the outbreak of the Pacific War. They were put into concentration camps and all their property was confiscated. After World War II, as the privileges of Shanghai Concession and foreign powers in China were taken back by China, Sefadi Jews lost their original advantages and gradually moved their property and business to Hong Kong, and their organization and influence basically disappeared.

After the Japanese occupation of the three northeastern provinces, the Russian Jewish community in Harbin began to flee or move southward in large numbers, leaving only 1,100 people in 1937. When the Soviet Red Army liberated the Northeast, the Jewish community was cancelled and all the Jews were scattered.

The Russian Jewish community in Shanghai began to disintegrate during the War of Liberation. Before the liberation of Shanghai, their number was less than 1000. In 1956, the last synagogue in Shanghai ceased to be used, which marked the complete demise of the Jewish community.

▲ Schematic diagram of the comparison between the State of Israel stipulated by the United Nations and Israel in the period of David in the 10th century BC.

The Jewish refugee community that took refuge in Shanghai in World War II began to disintegrate after the war. Refugees are returning home one after another, and many people have responded to the Zionist call and gathered in Palestine to prepare for the establishment of an Israeli state.

▲ The population growth trend of Israel since 1948.

At this point, the Jews in Chinese mainland basically dissipated, but the love between Jews and China did not end. Many Jews who have lived in China call themselves "Chinese Jews". Former Israeli Prime Minister Olmert is the second generation of "Chinese Jews", and his parents were born in Harbin.

▲ The establishment of the State of Israel has finally realized the Jewish dream of the motherland that lasted for two thousand years.

To this day, in Israel, the United States and other places, there are still active international friendship organizations commemorating the years of China and Shanghai. Many Jews who lived in China in those days came to China to seek their roots with their children, so that they could remember this precious time.

Happy life in the farmer’s market

  Editor’s Note: The farmers’ market is the "vegetable basket" of thousands of households, which is the responsibility of the people’s livelihood, the government and the necessity of public services. The Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government attach great importance to the transformation and upgrading of farmers’ markets as an important unit to promote the high-quality development of our city and build a model city of common prosperity. This year, the city once again incorporated the transformation and upgrading of the farmer’s market into the annual livelihood practical project, and intensified efforts to build a farmer’s market that is more people-friendly, convenient, beneficial and beneficial to the people. This issue of "Politics for the People" focuses on the transformation and upgrading of the farmers’ market and pays attention to the happy life in the "vegetable basket", so please pay attention.

  Life is in the "vegetable basket". The quality of the "food basket" is directly related to the quality of citizens’ life and the taste of the city.

  Since last year, Jiaxing has started a new round of transformation and upgrading of farmers’ markets. This year, the transformation and upgrading of farmers’ markets will once again be included in the municipal government’s livelihood projects, and 74 urban and rural farmers’ markets will be transformed and upgraded to achieve full coverage of the city.

  After the transformation and upgrading of the farmers’ market, how is the public’s "vegetable basket"? What kind of happy new experience is it to visit the farmer’s market? In the past few days, reporters have conducted in-depth interviews.

  The characteristic vegetable market is full of fireworks.

  In September, the favorite bite of Jiaxing people-Nanhuling went on the market. After Portunus, hairy crabs also climbed the table of Jiaxing people. People who are busy pasting autumn fat are also used to adding some beef and mutton to the vegetable basket. These foods are undoubtedly on the C position of the food market booth.

  Just as there are popular dishes in every season, there are some good "conspicuous bags" in every market. Their prominence lies in the long queues of customers, the comfort of closing the stalls early, and even the posture of opening the cash box to count banknotes.

  There are three "conspicuous bags" at the Happy Li Farmers’ Market in Yangliuwan, the urban area. The "Dongdong Beef and Mutton" booth is one of them.

  Xiao Yumei, the stall owner, said, "I can sell a cow in one day on weekends." In addition to retail, she also supplies wholesale for several other food markets. "We have slaughterhouses, which can guarantee that the beef and mutton are fresh and cheap every day, so old customers will come to buy them." Xiao Yumei said confidently, for example, on the day of the interview, the beef tenderloin of the stall was sold at 50 yuan per catty in 46 yuan, and other food markets had to sell it.

  With the pursuit of old customers, Xiao Yumei’s business is handy. At 11 o’clock in the morning, she has already collected the stalls and counted out the hundred-dollar bills from the box where the money was collected. "There are more than 7,000 pieces here, and there should be more than 10,000 pieces paid by scanning the code."

  Xiao Yumei has been engaged in beef and mutton business for more than 30 years, and has been in Yangliuwan farmers’ market for nearly 17 years. Four years ago, the transformation of Yangliuwan Xingfuli Farmers’ Market was completed. She was optimistic about the business here, invested money when bidding, and got the top position near the Xiaojing rest area at the front end of the East Gate Corridor.

  "In the first two years of transformation, many people knew about the farmers’ market in Yangliuwan Happiness, and they all came here to punch in, which brought me a wave of business. I am right in Yangliuwan, and I am prosperous here. " Xiao Yumei is quite satisfied.

  Another "conspicuous bag" of the farmers’ market in Happiness in Yangliuwan is "Old Wang Bai Chicken". The stall owner, Lao Wang, can cook more than 20 white-cut chickens a day. One white-cut chicken is about 5 kg, and it sells for one kg in 32 yuan. It was sold out before 10 am on the day of the interview. "If it is a holiday, it will be sold out at 8 o’clock in the morning." Lao Wang is a little proud.

  Because it sells cooked food, the operating rooms of "Old Wang Bai Chicken" are all separated by glass, and the air conditioner inside shows 25 degrees Celsius, so "three defenses" and "three whites" are in place. "I’ve been making boiled chicken for 14 years, and it tastes authentic in Jiaxing." Lao Wang said, "After the market is transformed, everything is comfortable, and doing business here is always accented."

  After the completion of the transformation, aquatic products have become the characteristics of the farmers’ market in Yangliuwan Happiness. The most conspicuous position in the market is the aquatic product booth at the east gate. At eleven o’clock in the morning, there were only four "disabled soldiers" left in a big red basin. In addition to setting up a stall here, the stall owner also supplies other food markets, and it is also fresh and cheap. When she was about to interview, she shook her hand at the reporter: "Wait for me, I’ll go to the bathroom first, and I haven’t stopped all morning."

  Waiting for her gap, the reporter went to see the passenger flow registration system in the farmer’s market. The system showed that by 11 am, the passenger flow in the farmer’s market had exceeded 5,000. Wang Huiliang, head of the farmer’s market, said: "It is normal to have more than 5,000 people on weekends, and we usually have more than 4,000 people."

  The market is rejuvenating and people’s livelihood is seeing feelings.

  Every farmer’s market has one kind or another "conspicuous bag". For example, the pork stalls and vegetable self-produced and self-sold stalls in xincheng town Farmers’ Market in Xiuzhou District have driven the annual operating income of the market to exceed 100 million yuan; The seafood stalls at the New Farmers’ Market in the Economic Development Zone of Jiaxing are hot for holiday king crabs, and the fish platter makes people shine. An egg stall in the neighborhood center of Xingfuli, Lingtang Road, sells more than 20 varieties of eggs …

  These online celebrity products and online celebrity stalls with management ideas, quality awareness and persistence in sustainable management can continuously attract customers and brand the farmers’ market with fresh, cheap and distinctive dishes.

  During the transformation and upgrading of this round of farmers’ market, market operators invariably choose to support these excellent booths and enlarge the booth area so that they can display them. Yangliuwan Xingfuli Farmers’ Market has been reduced from more than 300 booths before the transformation to 89 booths at present, and it has been fully rented. Changxin farmers’ market also takes the route of "big stalls", which makes the whole market more stretched and transparent.

  The original intention of the transformation and upgrading of the farmers’ market is to make people feel more at ease and comfortable in buying food. In the final analysis, it is necessary to implement the daily operation and benign service of business households and make people fall in love with buying food. After the transformation is completed, the market business will be better than before, and the transformation will be successful, and the hot and exquisite fireworks will be there.

  This exquisite fireworks gas comes from the high standard, high starting point and high level of this round of farmer’s market transformation and upgrading. Different from the previous minor repairs, this round of farmer’s market transformation and upgrading has greatly improved the overall software and hardware facilities in accordance with the requirements of star-rated farmer’s market by means of reloading and reappearing.

  Jiang Xiongwei, director of the Market Management Department of Jiaxing Municipal Market Supervision Bureau, told the reporter that just taking the renovation and upgrading of 29 farmers’ markets at the city level this year as an example, the total capital investment of all parties has exceeded 600 million yuan. "Market operators also have a strong willingness to transform, and they are conceptually aware of the sense of crisis that they will be eliminated if they do not change."

  After this round of transformation and upgrading, the face of the farmer’s market has changed, which is obvious to all and well-known. "The food market is like a supermarket" has become a unified impression and unanimous evaluation of Jiaxing citizens on the farmers’ market around them.

  Up to now, the average progress of the renovation and upgrading project of farmers’ markets in the city is 73.5%, including 52 in-situ renovation, 16 relocation and reconstruction, and 6 transformation and production conversion. A new batch of farmers’ markets in Happiness will be reloaded soon.

  Buying food+full of happiness in life

  Blowing air conditioners and selling vegetables, Xia Mingrong, a farmer’s market operator in Yangliuwan Happiness, said: "The electricity bill is a small sum of money, and it is well spent. When the environment is good, guests are willing to buy food and they are comfortable. "

  After the renovation and upgrading of this round of farmers’ market is completed, people will find that the familiar market not only has a beautiful environment and complete facilities, but also has many "small fortunes" that are eye-catching and happy.

  For example, it is particularly convenient to drive to Changxin Farmers Market to buy food. The market has been upgraded to the standard of five-star farmers’ market, including not only ground parking lots, but also underground parking lots, and the underground parking lots have elevators directly to the market.

  In addition to excellent seafood and aquatic products, this market also has many kinds of pork, including high-end brand pork and cheap pork. There is even a flower booth introduced here, which allows you to buy food, meat, fruit and flowers at one time, which is of high quality.

  The reporter noted that paying attention to the renovation and improvement of barrier-free facilities is a warm point in the renovation and upgrading of this round of farmers’ markets and has become a window of urban civilization.

  In addition, small animals are also concerned. A number of farmers’ markets visited by the reporter have posted "no pets allowed" tips. On the day of the interview, the reporter met a couple at the Happy Li Farmers’ Market in Yangliuwan, and tied the dog to the post outside the security room of the market, so that the security brother could help him take care of it.

  When market stalls are operated through electronic display screens, electronic price tags and code scanning payment become "standard", and some markets begin to think about how to do customer interaction well.

  For example, on the entrance screen of Xiuxin Farmers’ Market in Xiuzhou District, in addition to scrolling the pesticide residue detection results of various vegetables, the information of special dishes of the day is also published on the screen, which is convenient for customers to follow the map.

  Insert wisdom wings to make it easier to buy food. In terms of the construction of smart farmers’ markets, Haining is at the forefront of the city.

  In February last year, Haining proposed to vigorously promote qualified and qualified farmers’ markets to implement "changing agriculture into supermarkets", explore the construction of a new urban farmers’ market with "new retail and smart farmers’ markets", realize the functions of "smart farmers+experiential canteen area+brand convenience store +App online convenient shopping", accelerate the application of smart management system in farmers’ markets, and build a management platform for background software (transaction database) of farmers’ markets. The digital system of "vegetable basket" has basically been established.

  In the increasingly trendy farmers’ market, minor repairs and small supplements have made the public feel the "ancient warmth". Mending, repairing shoes, repairing umbrellas, matching keys, sharpening knives, sticking films on mobile phones, and cleaning range hoods … these convenience services that ordinary people need are still reserved in the farmers’ market. A special area for small repairs was set up on the second floor of Changxin Farmers’ Market. The area of Xingfuli Farmers’ Market in Lingtang Road is not large, but it still retains a booth for making and changing clothes, and a convenient booth for matching keys in a conspicuous position.

  "Minor repairs are needed by the people; Needle thread brain is also a business. " Jiang Xiongwei said, "We advocate that the farmer’s market should keep small repairs and make up booths, which is also the meaning of improving the’ quarter-hour convenience service circle’."

  The "small fortunate" of the farmer’s market is also reflected in the integration of community services and cultural facilities into the farmer’s market and the completion of the "food market+"article, which has become a warm color for the transformation and upgrading of the farmer’s market this round. It is nothing new to walk the baby upstairs in the market, to participate in community cultural and sports activities in the market and even to have tea, walk and chat in the garden upstairs in the market.

  When the farmer’s market is becoming more and more fashionable, diversified and capable, the action of buying food is used to connect the convenience life circle in series, which reflects the "happy life" in the farmer’s market and also embodies the governance wisdom of "politics for the people".

On barrier-free design: the secret of blind people playing smart phones happily

If you, as a product manager, were to design a smart phone for the blind, what would you do?

It is nothing new for blind people to use mobile phones. In the era when Nokia was still dominating traditional mobile phones, they could play their mobile phones as smoothly as normal people through physical buttons and voice prompts, and it was no problem to listen to music and make phone calls. Even with a huge base, the blind are still a marginal group, and it is difficult for them to enjoy the fun brought by intelligent technology like normal people.

There are many kinds of mobile phones for the blind in the market. Mobile phone manufacturers are following the product concept of "less is more", removing useless modules and highlighting core functions.No screen, multiple buttonsIt has become the "standard" for blind people’s mobile phones. Even if you go out with a mobile phone as ugly as a TV remote control, Who care? I can’t see it anyway, just use it.

However, simply relying on voice broadcast to exchange information can’t solve the contradiction between the blind people’s yearning for a better life and the single function of the special machine. And the barrier-free design in smart phones, with a bang, brought them Marxism, ah no, it brought them "a pair of eyes". In the jargon of our products, the special machine for the blind is the superficial demand-a faster horse, while the barrier-free service in smart phones is the train and car, which solves their deeper needs.

Barrier-free is relative to "disabled" people, which is what we often call disabled groups. Since the era of special machines for the blind, information barrier-free technical services have always been around.Phonetic assistanceWith the development of this core function, the blind can get voice feedback by touching physical keys, thus guiding further operation. But today’s mobile phonesThe screen is getting bigger and bigger, and there are fewer and fewer buttons.Without a comprehensive screen, I am embarrassed to open a press conference. Everyone can’t wait to make the screen ratio the ultimate 100%. Chopin of B can’t play the sadness of the blind, but the information barrier-free technology of B has given this "useless" screen a new historical mission.

The two heroes, Android’s TalkBack and Apple’s VoiceOver, make the blind finally use the mobile phone screen, and the more they use it, the smoother it is! Blind people touch the screen and use different interactive gestures to identify the current content and perform functional operations through screen reading.

Instead of exquisite visual animation and flat design style, the focus of interaction falls on physical gestures. For example, normal people’s interactive operations such as "click to enter", "long press and drag" and "slide to cut the screen" on the mobile phone are all redefined in the barrier-free auxiliary mode, so blind people can use various program services more deeply without relying on the physical buttons of the mobile phone.

Take Apple’s mobile phone as an example. You can turn on or off the VoiceOver service in "Settings–General–Accessibility", and the interactive gestures of the mobile phone will change after turning on. Taking opening an APP as an example, the normal operation is to directly click the icon of the APP. However, in this mode, in order to prevent the blind from touching the APP by mistake, clicking the icon of the desktop APP will only read the name of the APP, and the blind will open the APP by double-clicking the screen when they touch the app that needs to be opened one by one through voice feedback. Looking at this text description alone, I already feel that the operation is cumbersome, but these new interactions have given them unlimited possibilities.

Although mainstream aesthetics runs counter to the actual needs of the blind, thanks to barrier-free design, the scenes of blind people using smart phones are enriched. Starting from scenes and user portraits, it solves the pain points of how blind people use smart phones, which is equivalent to solving most of the pain points in their lives:

Difficulties in traveling-insufficient blind road facilities, greatly affected by the weather, and scarce guide dogs;

Corresponding plan: travel apps (such as Didi, Shenzhou special car, using express car and other travel modes)

Social difficulties-narrow communication circle, daily access to information only by listening to the radio, and single information channel;

Corresponding solutions: news & social apps (such as WeChat, QQ, various news clients, voice chat or listening to news).

Difficulties in shopping-it is difficult to identify the authenticity of banknotes, and buying goods is easy to be stolen and shoddy;

Corresponding plan: shopping apps (such as Taobao and JD.COM, through voice search, you can buy various items without leaving home to solve the payment problem).

……

You don’t have to visit users, investigate the market, and try to figure out the product positioning and direction. Any analysis can dig out a lot of pain points in blind people’s lives, and each pain point seems to have corresponding APPs to "relieve pain". However, barrier-free service is not a panacea for blind people to use smart phones, and there are often embarrassing scenes with full ideals and skinny reality.

After the author’s experience for a period of time (my eyesight is normal), I will share with you the pit in the process of using the mobile phone barrier-free service.

I believe many people will feel dizzy when they see this picture, let alone people with visual defects. The verification code often appears at the entrance of websites, software or services. As a tool to verify identity, blind people who are stuck at the entrance are disqualified from normal use, and the unreadability of pictures makes the screen reading function useless. The most famous case is that the verification code of 12306 website (which doesn’t explain what you know) was brought to court by a blind person. Although it ended in the blind person losing the case, the verification code problem that plagued the blind person’s operation can no longer be ignored.

Voice verification code is a better solution, although its original intention is not for the blind, like some take-away apps will be used when registering. Due to cost and technical reasons, this service has not been used on a large scale. In addition, the general SMS verification code also meets the screen reading requirements of the system. The difference in user experience between PC and mobile also makes more blind people rely more and more on mobile phones.

Due to their own physical conditions, the education level of the blind is generally not high, so the input method has become a threshold for them to use smart devices. They haven’t learned five strokes, can’t pinyin, and can only write some simple words by hand, which leads them to stumble when using traditional input methods. The input process is full of difficulties and the output words are full of mistakes and omissions. After the simulation experience, I suddenly realized that the original "goddess" chat mode is such a thing: others say ten sentences, and you only reply slowly.

Since the emergence of voice chat applications like WeChat and the rise of various intelligent voice recognition input methods, this pain point has been well solved, which not only facilitates most "lazy people", but also relieves the urgent needs of the blind. I’m trying to read a short passage of about 100 words by using Iflytek’s voice input method. The speed of synchronous input and voice recognition is very fast, and the accuracy of words is over 99%. Of course, this is also limited to the reader’s Putonghua level. I believe that the development of artificial intelligence will make the recognition rate higher when the voice input method is used.

Android is a little girl who can be dressed up at will. Large mobile phone manufacturers will build their own customized Android system, and all kinds of ROM packages on the Internet are flying all over the sky. In order to pursue the simplification and smoothness of the system, some people often castrate most of the built-in services, including accessibility, while satisfying most of the target groups, they accidentally hurt this small group of vulnerable people, making the blind get a carefully "optimized" "brick" machine, which is useless. However, Apple has not lost in this aspect of the system and maintained its due conscience.

For normal people, even with the golden key of barrier-free service, after practical operation, it is found that there are actually many hurdles to be crossed. It is hard to imagine how blind people can play mobile phones happily with us. Everyone is joking that poverty limits their imagination, but after reading a set of real data, I find that my imagination is actually limited by prejudice.

According to the Basic Information Report of Internet Visually Impaired Users in China released by the Secretariat of China Information Accessible Products Alliance (CAPA) in 2016, China has13 millionVisually impaired people, among the surveyed users of visually impaired people, there are92%While using smart phones, 22% of the visually impaired have used Internet software such as Didi, Kuaidi and uber taxi to take a taxi, 33% of the visually impaired have installed 11 to 20 applications on their mobile phones, and 83% of the visually impaired are operating their mobile phones and computers.Can be completely relied onScreen reading function.

Lovely and respectable products and technicians did not limit their imagination to mainstream design, but turned "waste" into treasure, turning the mobile phone screen that was useless to the blind into the best entrance to enjoy intelligent services. Although there are still many pits in the barrier-free product experience, more and more manufacturers are gradually aware of the existence of this special group. For products like BAT, barrier-free details are finely integrated into QQ and Alipay, which may not be noticed by normal users because we are not the "target group".

Although the target group always excludes blind users by default in the process of our product analysis, and the benefits created by 1% special users seem to be so insignificant for a product that meets 99% normal users, with the development, China’s Internet information accessibility level is gradually improving, and more products begin to examine their own barrier-free user experience design, opening up a green information channel for visually impaired people to integrate into the mainstream society.

Maybe one day, a blind man will come to me and say:

"Hey, I’ve used your product, it’s really good!"

It has solved the pain points of users, realized the benefits of products, and fulfilled the social responsibilities. As the glory of product people, this is much Cool.

Developing cross-border e-commerce to stimulate foreign trade momentum

Overseas food, beauty products and health care products "fly" into the homes of China people, and Chinese-made clothing, shoes, hats and daily necessities reach the whole world … In recent years, cross-border e-commerce has developed rapidly with the advantages of online trading, non-contact delivery and short trading chain. According to the latest statistics, in the first half of 2024, China’s cross-border e-commerce import and export was 1.22 trillion yuan, up 10.5% year-on-year, and the growth rate was 4.4 percentage points higher than that of China’s foreign trade in the same period. The number of cross-border e-commerce and cross-border mail express parcels supervised by the customs every year reaches more than 7 billion, with an average of about 20 million pieces per day. From 1.06 trillion yuan in 2018 to 2.38 trillion yuan in 2023, the import and export of cross-border e-commerce in China has increased by 1.2 times in five years. The overall scale of cross-border e-commerce, from small to large, from large to excellent, has become a vital force in China’s foreign trade development and a new bright spot in the global economic and trade field.

As a new foreign trade format and model driven by scientific and technological innovation, cross-border e-commerce has a new business concept, strong technical support and quick response, which has played a powerful role in promoting the growth of China’s foreign trade. The innovative allocation of production factors by cross-border e-commerce is also in line with the characteristics and requirements of the development of new quality productivity. In recent years, China attaches great importance to the development of cross-border e-commerce. Since it was first mentioned in the Government Work Report in 2014, cross-border e-commerce has always been one of the key tasks of governments at all levels. The Central Economic Work Conference in 2023 clearly pointed out that it is necessary to speed up the cultivation of new kinetic energy of foreign trade, consolidate the basic disk of foreign trade and foreign capital, and expand intermediate trade, service trade, digital trade and cross-border e-commerce export. The issuance of documents such as Opinions on Expanding Cross-border E-commerce Exports and Promoting the Construction of Overseas Warehouses, and Announcement on Tax Policies for Goods Returned for Export in cross-border electronic commerce also provided strong policy support for promoting the development of cross-border e-commerce. In practice, cross-border e-commerce related initiatives have been promoted. In 2015, the State Council established a comprehensive cross-border e-commerce pilot zone for the first time. After six expansions, 165 comprehensive cross-border e-commerce pilot zones were established, achieving full coverage in 31 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities. The system of cross-border e-commerce transactions, payment, logistics, customs clearance, tax refund and foreign exchange settlement has been accelerated, and technical standards, business processes, supervision models and information construction have been continuously improved. All powerful measures jointly promote cross-border e-commerce to go into battle lightly and flourish.

As a transnational transaction, trade needs to be carried out by enterprises as the main body. At present, there are 645,000 foreign trade enterprises with import and export performance in China. According to preliminary statistics, there are more than 120,000 cross-border e-commerce entities nationwide, and the rapid growth of e-commerce entities has laid a solid foundation for the development of cross-border e-commerce. Cost is the key to enhance international competitiveness, and promoting the development of cross-border e-commerce agglomeration with industrial parks is an effective way to reduce trade costs. There are more than 1,000 cross-border e-commerce industrial parks in China. Cross-border e-commerce entities gather in the parks, and the supporting facilities of upstream and downstream producer services are constantly improved, further reducing the industry cost. In the logistics and distribution, cross-border e-commerce enterprises build competitive advantages through different modes such as direct mail cross-border special lines and overseas warehouses. At present, there are more than 2,500 overseas warehouses with a total area of more than 30 million square meters. In terms of business model, the innovative custody model of cross-border e-commerce has greatly reduced the professional restrictions and international trade thresholds, giving domestic small and medium-sized enterprises and supply chain factories the opportunity to join the tide of going to sea. In marketing and management, cross-border e-commerce enterprises take advantage of data and algorithms to promote marketing and management from extensive to fine, and build the advantages of cross-border e-commerce supply chain with high cost performance, efficient production and rapid supply. The growth of business entities, the construction of cross-border e-commerce industrial parks, the construction of overseas warehouses and the refinement of management have built a comprehensive competitive advantage for cross-border e-commerce in China and provided strong support for the high-quality development of the industry.

Cross-border e-commerce is a promising track. With the help of policies and technology, China’s cross-border e-commerce has accelerated, and there is still great potential to be tapped in the future market, and there is a broad space to expand.

In the next step, we should continue to vigorously cultivate cross-border e-commerce business entities, promote the integration and development of cross-border e-commerce and industry, and create a cross-border e-commerce empowerment industrial belt. Accelerate the brand building of cross-border e-commerce enterprises, support enterprises to "borrow from the sea" and enhance the technical content and added value of trade. Increase financial support, smooth financing channels for cross-border e-commerce enterprises, optimize cross-border fund settlement services, develop supply chain finance in compliance with laws and regulations, strengthen financial guarantee for cross-border e-commerce and reduce operating costs. At the same time, optimize cross-border e-commerce export supervision, promote and standardize cross-border data flow, and improve cross-border data management and service level. In addition, we should actively participate in multilateral mechanism negotiations, exchanges and cooperation, and play an active role in the formulation of international standards and rules in electronic documents, paperless trade and electronic transactions.

It is believed that with the continuous improvement of the policy system, the increasingly sound market system, the continuous improvement of infrastructure, the improvement of the quality of superimposed products and the acceleration of brand building, China’s competitive advantage in the trade field will continue to emerge. Constantly promoting the high-quality development of cross-border e-commerce will certainly help build a new development pattern and inject new vitality into global economic development.

A row of cars occupy the blind road in Rongcheng Square, Jinshan, Fuzhou.

N Our reporter Liao Qingsheng Gao Minwen/map

[Citizen’s Response] Yesterday morning, Mr. Zhuang called our newspaper 968111 to report that parking is free in Rongcheng Square, Jinshan, Fuzhou, and no tickets will be posted. Many people who work nearby parked their cars, and some cars that came in late stopped directly on the blind road, hoping that the relevant departments could guide them.

[Check immediately] Yesterday morning, the reporter saw at the scene that there were two rows of cars parked on the passage in the square, and the aisle next to the flower garden was a blind road, but they were all full of cars. The reporter noticed that there were many "Do not occupy the blind road" signs hanging in the parking place, but the warning signs did not stop the car owners from occupying the blind road.

[Reporter’s connection] The staff of the Plaza Property Office said that some of these cars are merchants, and many of them are parked. Because the property can’t judge whether the owners come in for shopping, they can only be released. For the behavior of occupying the blind road, the property office has repeatedly discouraged it and installed warning signs, but some car owners still ignore it. "The property has no law enforcement power. In addition to strengthening dissuasion, we will also try to negotiate with the police to see if there are better management methods." The staff said.

Thank Mr. Zhuang for providing clues and rewarding 30 yuan.

The brand-new Mercedes-Benz GLC coupe SUV was launched at a price of 489,500 yuan.

The new Mercedes-Benz GLC coupe SUV has been officially launched, and two models have been launched: GLC 260 4MATIC coupe SUV and GLC 300 4MATIC coupe SUV. The official guide prices are 489,500 yuan and 566,000 yuan respectively. This new car has been improved in design and performance, attracting the attention of many consumers.

In terms of appearance, the new GLC coupe SUV adopts new family design elements, which are basically consistent with the ordinary version of GLC. In the front face, the three-pronged Xinghui brand LOGO is embedded in the star-studded net, which leaves a deep impression. The combination of two-piece lamp eyebrows and deep blue striped lamp strips creates a unique visual effect. In addition, the new car can also be equipped with digital headlights with a resolution of up to 2.6 million pixels and projection function, which will bring drivers a richer driving experience.

On the side of the car body, the new GLC coupe SUV has a beautiful roof line, which reduces the drag coefficient to 0.27Cd (0.29Cd for ordinary models), which helps to reduce driving noise and energy consumption. In terms of body size, the new car has a length of 4,763 mm and a wheelbase of 2,888 mm, an increase of 15 mm compared with the previous generation, creating a more slender body proportion. In addition, the domestic GLC L has a longer wheelbase, so the wheelbase has exceeded 2.9 meters since the previous generation.

In terms of interior, the new Mercedes-Benz GLC coupe SUV continues the latest family interior design, and the instrument panel is covered with a large area of decorative panels, providing two styles: black perforated wood ornaments with aluminum trim strips or metal woven ornaments. There is also a "star ring" air outlet with embedded atmosphere lights above, which creates a warm atmosphere for the cockpit. The new car comes standard with Nappa leather multifunctional sports steering wheel and sports seats with front seat heating function. Five seats are provided covering three materials and four color schemes to meet the individual needs of different consumers.

In terms of technology configuration, the new GLC coupe SUV comes standard with a 12.3-inch instrument screen and an 11.9-inch central display screen, and provides a head-up display system. The vehicle adopts the second generation MBUX intelligent human-computer interaction system, which provides comprehensive functions. The zero-level interface always puts important applications such as navigation, air conditioning and music on the desktop, which is convenient for drivers to access quickly. The upgraded "Mind Reading Voice Assistant" supports common functions such as wakeup-free, 15-second delayed listening and dual voice commands, which improves the interactive experience between the driver and the vehicle.

In terms of power, the new car will be equipped with a 2.0T engine +48V light mixing system. According to different adjustments, the maximum power of GLC 260 4MATIC model is 204 HP and the peak torque is 320 Nm. The GLC 300 4MATIC model has a maximum power of 258 HP and a maximum torque of 400 Nm. The transmission system still matches the 9-speed automatic manual transmission, and it is equipped with a 4MATIC full-time four-wheel drive system, which brings drivers a more stable and safe driving experience.

In a word, the new Mercedes-Benz GLC coupe SUV has become one of the most attractive models in the market with its unique design, advanced technology configuration and strong power performance. Both the exterior and the interior show the exquisite craftsmanship and excellent quality of the Mercedes-Benz brand. I believe this new car will attract more consumers’ attention and love.

The battle between the waves! Compared with Song PLUS EV, who is the Hexagon Warrior?

The budget of 150,000-200,000 yuan is limited to pure electric home SUVs, and many of them can’t avoid BYD Song PLUS EV, because its influence can’t be underestimated in terms of market sales, word of mouth and product strength. However, with the intensification of the involution of domestic new energy vehicles, more and more Houlang has also come up with solid product skills and sincere pricing, which constantly attracts consumers’ attention in car selection. The polar fox Alpha T5, which was listed soon, is a good example.

(Extreme Fox Alpha T5)

(BYD Song PLUS EV)

The guide price range of the Extreme Fox Alfa T5 is 155.8-199.8 million yuan. Compared with BYD Song PLUS EV with the guide price range of 169.8-209.8 million yuan, the lower pricing of Houlang is somewhat "unlucky". Now that they are tit for tat, and both cars focus on home use scenes, when will they stay without shining their swords?

Below, let’s compare two specific models, namely, the Extreme Fox Alfa T5 2024 660MAX and BYD Song PLUS EV 2023 Champion Edition 605KM Flagship PLUS, to see who is the household hexagonal warrior. (The comparison models are abbreviated as: Extreme Fox Alpha T5 and Song PLUS EV)

(Extreme Fox Alpha T5)

(Extreme Fox Alpha T5)

In terms of appearance design, the angular lines and flat headlight groups that can be seen everywhere in the front of the Extreme Fox Alpha T5 cater to the front of the car with a lower posture, so there is no need to worry about the visual sense of the front face. The same is true for the side and the rear of the car. The side shape of the polar fox Alpha T5 looks very linear, and the front/rear of the car has a certain push-down design and hidden door handles, which also makes its drag coefficient only 0.245Cd. At the rear of the car, the penetrating light group of the Extreme Fox Alpha T5 is the mainstream design, which can also be seen here in Song PLUS EV.

(BYD Song PLUS EV)

(BYD Song PLUS EV)

The difference is that Song PLUS EV’s latest generation of Longyan aesthetic design, although it has a strong sense of movement and young style, such as the design of a simpler front, a more full sense of side/tail lines and a penetrating taillight group, all indicate that the new Song PLUS EV wants to be recognized by more young people. However, personally, Song PLUS EV is still inclined to the tonality of atmosphere and stability. After all, the outline of the lines, the blackened elements and the light group of the polar fox Alpha T5 are the elements that young consumers prefer.

In terms of size, the length of the Song PLUS EV has certain advantages, and the Extreme Fox Alpha T5 will be more eye-catching in terms of car width, wheelbase and model level. In the external configuration of vehicles, both vehicles are equipped with electric tailgate, front sound insulation glass and keyless entry system. However, Song PLUS EV only provides keyless entry in the front row. When it is used in scenes such as family trips and self-driving trips, it is not as convenient for family members to open the door as Alpha T5.

Inside the car, for friends who care about the texture and grade of the interior, these two cars will not let everyone down. The polar fox Alpha T5 and Song PLUS EV are covered with materials with good texture in the areas within reach and visible to the naked eye, such as a large number of leather packages in the cockpit and metal plaques.

In the interior design, there are almost no physical buttons in the central control of the Extreme Fox Alpha T5, and most functions are integrated in the 15.6-inch central control screen. The technological atmosphere and minimalism are well created, and this style is also liked by many young consumers. The cockpit design of Song PLUS EV is more traditional, such as the layout of air conditioning outlet and central control T-zone, which will be more like an oil truck. This kind of style is also deeply loved by many consumers, especially those who have made the transition from oil cars to trams, and many of them are used to physical buttons. As for which cockpit experience is better, it varies from person to person.

But what is certain is that the polar fox Alpha T5 will have more say than the Song PLUS EV in the intelligent performance of the cockpit. The screens of both cars are 15.6 inches. From the function point of view, both cars have the mainstream apps of car ecology, such as WeChat, karaoke, playing games, audio and video freedom, etc., which are not a problem. The Qualcomm 8155 chip is built into the Extreme Fox Alpha T5, which is synonymous with silky feeling of lathe in the industry, but we haven’t seen it here in Song PLUS EV.

In addition, the polar fox Alpha T5 voice assistant has four-tone wake-up recognition, visible speaking, continuous instruction recognition, support for HiCar, original factory interconnection/mapping function, and 3D dynamic navigation brought by 22.8-inch HUD head-up display, etc., and Song PLUS EV did not give it. This series of configurations has greatly improved the car experience. For example, the HUD head-up display allows the driver to check the speed and navigation without diverting his eyes. The four-tone voice wake-up also allows the voice assistant to be the private secretary of every member of the family.

In terms of intelligent driving assistance, the α-Pilot assisted driving system of Extreme Fox Alpha T5 and the DiPilot assisted driving system of Song PLUS EV have reached L2 level. In addition to the basic operations of 360-degree panoramic image /540-degree transparent image, the two cars are also equipped with functions such as full-speed adaptive endurance, lane keeping, parallel assistance and automatic parking.

(BYD Song PLUS EV)

In terms of hardware, the number of millimeter-wave radars and ultrasonic radars will reach 6 and 12 respectively under the blessing of the intellectual driving rights package presented with the car, but the two millimeter-wave radars and 12 ultrasonic radars equipped with Song PLUS EV have no advantage. Song PLUS EV is not equipped with intelligent driving functions, such as automatic lane-changing assistance, tracking and reversing, and starting reminder of the preceding vehicle.

In terms of ride experience, the front row of Polar Fox Alpha T5 provides electric adjustment of main and auxiliary drivers/seat memory/heating, and the main driver’s seat has lumbar support adjustment. Song PLUS EV provides electric adjustment/heating/ventilation for the main and auxiliary drivers in the front row, but neither of them has seat memory or lumbar support adjustment. In contrast, the front seat configuration of the two cars has its own advantages. In terms of riding experience, the seat texture, side support and head space of the two cars are all good. The test passengers with a height of 177cm sit in the front rows of the two cars respectively, and after the sitting posture is adjusted to the lowest, they all get over 1 fist space.

(BYD Song PLUS EV)

In the back row, the legroom of both cars can give more than two punches, and the cushion support is not bad, and the sedentary experience as a whole can be well received. However, the seat heating is also provided in the rear row of the Extreme Fox Alpha T5. If the whole family is traveling by car, especially in the Northeast where the fire broke out recently, this configuration is undoubtedly very popular.

Knowing the appearance and cockpit, let’s take a look at the performance of the two cars in terms of battery life and performance. In the battery life, the polar fox Alpha T5 is equipped with a ternary lithium battery with a capacity of 79.2kWh, with a pure battery life range of 660km and a power consumption of 13.9kWh per 100 km. Song PLUS EV is equipped with a lithium iron phosphate battery with a capacity of 87.04kWh. The pure electric mileage of CLTC is 605km, and the power consumption per 100 km is 14.1kWh. It can be seen that the battery capacity of the Extreme Fox Alpha T5 is smaller, but the pure electric cruising range is longer. According to the analysis, apart from the wind resistance coefficient of 0.245Cd, the efficiency of the polar front power system developed by the polar fox Alpha T5 is 95%, and the energy management of the pre-test is also helpful for the polar fox Alpha T5 to achieve excellent energy consumption.

(Extreme Fox Alpha T5)

In addition, regarding the charging efficiency that everyone cares about, the Arctic Fox Alpha T5 with 800V high-voltage overcharge platform has a fast charging peak power of 260kW, which can increase the pure battery life by 260km in 10 minutes, and it only takes 17 minutes to charge to 80% of the battery. The peak power of fast charging of Song PLUS EV is 140kW, and it takes 0.47 hours to fast charge to 80% of the power. This charging efficiency was a year or two ago, which was still the first level in the industry. However, with the advent of the era of high-voltage overcharge, such as facing the 800V fast charging of Extreme Fox Alpha T5, the charging efficiency of Song PLUS EV is inevitably slightly inferior.

(BYD Song PLUS EV)

With regard to battery safety, neither the Extreme Fox Alpha T5 nor the Song PLUS EV need to worry. The former Aurora battery has three durable scenarios of "extremely cold and extremely hot alternation", "high temperature and high humidity aging" and "salt spray accelerated corrosion" for continuous serial verification. The latter blade battery also passed the rigorous acupuncture test, and there was no violent combustion and high temperature.

(Extreme Fox Alpha T5)

(BYD Song PLUS EV)

In terms of power, both cars are equipped with front single motor. The maximum power of the polar fox Alpha T5 motor is 200kW, the peak torque is 360N·m, and the acceleration time from 0 to 100 km/h is 7.5 seconds. The Song PLUS EV motor has a maximum power of 160kW and a peak torque of 330 N m. The official acceleration time of 0-100km/h has not been announced, but it is understood that the 8.02-second 0-100km/h acceleration performance measured by Che Di will be slightly slower than that of the Extreme Fox Alpha T5.

(Extreme Fox Alpha T5)

(BYD Song PLUS EV)

In the chassis part, both cars are mainly for home use, and the suspension is also a four-wheel single suspension with conventional McPherson front suspension and rear multi-link structure. However, the Lingyun chassis of Extreme Fox Alfa T5 has won the "Top Ten Pure Electric Chassis in China", and the aluminum alloy materials and driving of the chassis are optimized and adjusted. Taking the elk test as an example, the measured result of the polar fox Alpha T5 is 76km/h, and that of the Song PLUS EV is 70.2km/h, so it can be seen intuitively that there will be some differences in chassis performance or driving control between the two vehicles.

Editor’s comment:

From the comparison, if you want to say who is the "hexagonal warrior" of the pure electric home SUV, the Extreme Fox Alpha T5 and BYD Song PLUS EV will definitely count. On the face value and interior texture, both cars are three good students; In terms of space, seat configuration and pure electric cruising range, both of them can also play in competing products at the same price. But in terms of my post-95 aesthetic, I personally prefer the design style of Extreme Fox Alpha T5. Including pure electric cruising range, 0-100km/h acceleration and chassis texture, the Extreme Fox Alpha T5 also has an advantage. On the balance, in the "Hexagon Warrior" score of the two cars, the post-wave player Extreme Fox Alpha T5 scored naturally higher.

Huaihua is striding towards a new pole.

Huaihua, striding towards a new pole

Hunan Daily reporter Jun Xiao

Huaihua, the "West Gate", is taking advantage of the situation.

This "potential" is "one pole and two belts" and "one center and four Huaihua".

In 2015, the regional development strategy of "one core, three poles, four belts and many points" put forward by the provincial party committee and the provincial government positioned Huaihua as "one pole and two belts", that is, building Huaihua into a new growth pole radiating southwest China and connecting Chengdu-Chongqing urban agglomeration, Shanghai-Kunming high-speed rail economic belt and Zhang Jihuai’s boutique eco-cultural tourism economic belt. According to this orientation, Huaihua has risen from the edge of development to the growth pole.

Go all out to shoulder the heavy responsibility. Peng Guofu, secretary of the Huaihua Municipal Party Committee, said that in order to realize the new mission entrusted by the provincial party committee and the provincial government, the Huaihua Municipal Party Committee and the municipal government have determined the development strategies of "one pole and two belts" and "one center and four Huaihua" (that is, building Huaihua into an ecological center city in the border areas of five provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions, building ecological Huaihua, rule of law Huaihua, smart Huaihua and happy Huaihua), and strive to basically establish Hunan’s new growth pole position by the end of the Thirteenth Five-Year Plan.

In mid-September, the reporter walked through the land of five streams, which was refreshing: Huaihua was trying to get rid of the "old impression" of remoteness and backwardness, open its international vision, summon up its energy and start the "acceleration engine" to rush forward.

New engine, new kinetic energy

Expand the map of the whole province. Huaihua, located in the southwest border, accounts for about 13% of the province’s territory and is the largest city and state in the province.

However, the big city is a small economic city, and the main economic indicators are often ranked at the end of the province. Some people jokingly call Huaihua the "end of the province" in Hunan.

In recent years, after several reflections and explorations, Huaihua has found the reasons for its lack of development, unhappiness and superiority, that is, the industrial development is seriously lagging behind, and the reason for its lagging behind is the lack of innovation vitality.

"Take innovation as the core driving force to catch up with development." Zhao Yingyun, deputy secretary of Huaihua Municipal Party Committee and mayor, said that an empty pocket can’t be inflated. Only by making good use of the "golden key" of innovation and making the industry bigger and stronger can we have the strength to shoulder the responsibility and mission of the new growth pole.

Seeking innovation is seeking the future. Huaihua uses "small finance" to incite "big capital" and gather in scientific and technological innovation. Last year, we integrated 330 million yuan of relevant funds, set up special funds for the development of strategic emerging industries, and mobilized 10 billion yuan of financial capital and social capital to invest in emerging industries. The funding for science, technology and industrial development was less than 10 million yuan in 2014, and it has increased to 363 million yuan this year.

According to the "135" project of industrial development in the province, it is a great deal for Huaihua to implement the three-year multiplication plan of industrial and industrial park development and vigorously promote the deep integration of innovation chain and the entrepreneurial chain.

The brand of Huaihua High-tech Zone was Huaihua Industrial Park more than a year ago, and the driving force behind the brand change was innovation. Through the construction of green industrial new towns in the border areas of five provinces (municipalities and autonomous regions), a number of national and provincial innovation platforms, high-tech enterprises and projects poured in, which changed the stagnant situation of the park economy in one fell swoop. In July last year, Huaihua Industrial Park was successfully transformed into a provincial-level high-tech zone, and it is expected to enter the ranks of the "national team" of high-tech zones this year.

In Huaihua High-tech Zone, the brand of Juntai New Material Technology Co., Ltd. was also changed a year ago. It used to be Juntai Pulp and Paper Co., Ltd., which was once the "leading boss" of Huaihua related industries. Two years after it was put into production, it was like a giant animal caught in a quagmire, and it was struggling. Through the transformation, the production of viscose cellulose for textile has changed from a "muddy beast" to a leading goose in the industry.

In promoting the development of industry and industrial parks, Huaihua takes projects as the starting point, creates something out of nothing, creates something out of nothing, and implements two-wheel drive. Nowadays, in Huaihua, scientific and technological projects and high-end growth industries are being laid out, landed and rose.

Xianghua Electronic Technology Co., Ltd. in Yuanling Industrial Cluster independently developed automatic electronic component production equipment, breaking the international monopoly, and attracted Taiwan Province Qilixin Co., Ltd., the world’s largest passive component manufacturer, to join. The two sides invested 7 billion yuan to jointly develop electronic components, and the annual tax revenue is expected to reach more than 250 million yuan.

Compared with three years ago, the number of national and provincial innovation platforms in Huaihua has increased from 3 to 10, and the number of high-tech enterprises has increased from 11 to 56. In the first half of this year, the added value of high-tech industries was 3.5 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 14.7%.

Starting a new engine and cultivating new kinetic energy, Huaihua’s four dominant industries, namely, modern business logistics, eco-cultural tourism, medical health and green food, and 15 industrial parks have developed rapidly, which has reversed the passive situation of declining economic growth rate and low ranking in the province, and the ranking of major economic indicators has moved forward greatly. In the first half of this year, GDP increased by 8.1% year-on-year, ranking first in the province.

New channel, new platform

Entering September, the land of Wuxi is a little unsettled.

The track laying of the Huai-Shao-Heng Railway from Shaoyang to Huaihua began in the south direction, advancing at a speed of 2.5 kilometers every day, and a fast railway passage will be built soon.

Huaihua Xianrenqiao Railway Warehouse (railway port) officially started construction, which can be completed by the end of the year, and the construction of Huaihua three-dimensional port open platform has taken another big step.

Huaihua was known as "the gateway of Yunnan and Guizhou" and "the throat of Chu" in ancient times, and was once a transit point of China’s Maritime Silk Road. However, Huaihua’s open vision today is by no means a simple reply to ancient history.

As a city dragged by the train, Huaihua has a special affection for the railway, but the steps of Huaihua people have not stopped on the rails. They are constantly catching up with the progress of the times with the unique tenacity of mountain people.

The Shanghai-Kunming high-speed railway was opened to traffic, the construction of Huaishaoheng railway was in full swing, and the Huaihua railway transportation network developed from a "big" shape to a "meter" shape.

At the same time, the expressway mileage ranks first in the province; Zhijiang Airport is being rebuilt and expanded to build the second largest airport in the province. In March this year, Huaihua became one of the "national comprehensive transportation hubs".

In recent years, Huaihua aims to build a new highland for the development of open economy in Wulingshan area, constantly opens up new channels for opening to the outside world, actively expands the three-dimensional port opening platform, and strives to build a "bridgehead" for Hunan’s opening to the west.

Before the end of this year, international freight trains from Huaihua to Europe will be opened. Next year, Huaihua will open an international freight channel connecting the ASEAN economic circle. And strive to build the Jingyang-Chenchen Railway, and open up the international trade channels to Vietnam, Myanmar, India and other South Asian subcontinent.

The person in charge of the Port Office of Huaihua Commercial Grain Bureau told the reporter that the infrastructure of the public bonded warehouse in Huaihua Economic Development Zone has been completed, and the warehouse will be closed after the customs acceptance, and the Wulingshan Entry-Exit Commodity Exhibition and Trading Center will be operated simultaneously. In April this year, Changsha Customs Agency in Huaihua officially opened its business. The inland port established by Guangzhou Port Co., Ltd. in Huaihua is under construction, and Huaihua will connect with the "Maritime Silk Road" through rail-sea combined transport.

Open and run with Huaihua. In the first half of this year, 22 enterprises registered with the Customs in Huaihua increased, and the total import and export volume increased by 30.87% year-on-year.

New state, new "ecology"

Although it is near the autumn equinox, there is still a heat wave when the sun shines on the ground. On the construction site of Yiwu Commodity City in China, Huaihua Economic Development Zone, the hanging tower is towering, the excavator raises its long arm, and the earth-moving vehicle shuttles back and forth, showing a scene of full swing.

"Working here, there is always a lot of energy." Chen Xiaoyong, chairman of Huaihua Jiarui Yiwu Commodity City Co., Ltd. said that the project started in July, and the land leveling has been completed, and it has entered the stage of foundation piling. From the secretary of the municipal party Committee to the cadres in the park, the service has pushed the project construction out of the "acceleration".

Chen Xiaoyong told a story to reporters. There was a dead old tree in the project land, which affected the project construction. When Hanson Yang, director of the Economic Development Zone Management Committee, heard the news, he immediately took people to forestry, gardens and other departments to apply for logging procedures. "I didn’t expect that it is so convenient to do things here and the service is so enthusiastic!" Chen Xiaoyong from Hangzhou said with emotion.

To adapt to the new normal, cadres must have a new state. Policy makers in Huaihua believe that the state of cadres in party member is also competitiveness and productivity, which is related to the development of the whole city.

Deepen the comprehensive and strict administration of the party and vigorously create a new political ecology with beautiful scenery. In accordance with the requirements of "accountability for mistakes and inaction, replacement without changing the status", Huaihua issued an interim measure to adjust the current leading cadres, and formulated an industrial development performance appraisal plan. The assessment results are the main basis for the selection and appointment of cadres. Seventy-two department-level cadres were promoted and reused because of their outstanding work performance, and 16 department-level cadres who were not "seriously injured" but were not in the state of work and had poor performance were dismissed or adjusted.

Efforts were made to optimize the environment for merchants, and the style of "declaring war on laziness and boosting the spirit" was continuously rectified, and 593 cases of laziness and laziness were investigated and dealt with.

Strict management of officials and theory of performance have ignited the enthusiasm of cadres and officers to start businesses. They have strived to catch up with each other with the enthusiasm of "one person, ten people, and one hundred people", which has brought good and rapid development.

Entering Xupu Honghua Industrial Park, the barren hills and slopes three years ago have become a thriving park. According to the person in charge of the park, it took only eight months from leveling the land and building a standard factory building to the first enterprise starting production. At present, there are 30 enterprises entering the park. This speed is mainly due to the fact that cadres at all levels command with their figures and speak with their actions.

In the first half of this year, Huaihua’s investment in fixed assets increased by 13.7% year-on-year, ranking first in the province.

Style is image, but also strength. Huaihua is changing, Huaihua people are changing, the mental outlook of party member cadres is getting better and better, the people are getting more and more harmonious, and the pace towards a new pole is getting more and more vigorous.

It’s nice to accompany my father around the city.

Wu Xianghuai, a cadre of Huaihua High-tech Zone

In the early years, my father in the country was more diligent in going to town, and it was my must-do "homework" to accompany him around the city. It is a very pleasant thing for me to be filial to my father.

During the people’s commune, my father worked as a village cadre, and every year he had to go to elm bay, the old Huaihua county for a meeting. In the early 1970s, during the war of the Hunan-Guizhou-Zhiliu Railway Conference, my father was one of the millions of road-building troops. After the completion of the railway, he worked as a sideline here for several years, and he is familiar with "elm bay".

A few years ago, I accompanied my father to visit Huaihua City once, but my father was impressed and didn’t feel anything.

With the growth of age, the 70-year-old father rarely goes to town. Not long ago, he went to town. I tricked him into going to town on the grounds that my daughter missed grandpa. This time, in order to leave a deeper impression on my father, I specially chose several tall landscapes.

"Building such a big high-speed railway station should cost a lot of money, right?" The high-end atmosphere of Huaihua high-speed railway station not only opened his father’s eyes, but also inspired his curiosity.

I told my father that high-speed railway station in Huaihua is a transportation hub with an investment of about 2 billion yuan. Take the high-speed train from Huaihua, it takes one and a half hours to Changsha and Guiyang, and five hours to Shanghai and Shenzhen. Moreover, the current mileage of Huaihua Expressway is 676 kilometers, ranking first in the province.

"The length of the expressway is the first in the province, amazing!" Father sincerely lamented.

Drive up Yingfeng Middle Road overpass. Seeing the endless flow of vehicles under the bridge, my father said humorously, "The overpass is just a car passing under the bridge at the same time!"

"Dad’s right. This is the first overpass in Huaihua, with two-way eight lanes, a deck width of 30 meters and a main span of 157 meters, connecting the exit of Chengdong Expressway. " Let me give you a brief introduction.

"With the first article, there will be the second and third articles!" Father said forward-looking.

Step by step. Along Yingfeng Road, around Jinxi Bridge, across Xiangzhou Bridge and onto Hutian Bridge, I introduced myself like a tour guide.

"In the past five years, Huaihua has successively started the reconstruction of Hutian Bridge, Jinxi Bridge and Xiangzhou Bridge, and the construction of Taipingxi Bridge and Taipingqiao Covered Bridge, the urban road skeleton has been stretched to 90 square kilometers."

"So many bridges which remember? I only know that Huaihua has grown up a lot. " Father said with a smile.

After dinner, accompany my father to have tea and talk about Huaihua’s story. I told my father: "Two days ago, Huaihua was rated as the best livable city for the elderly in China, and the health support policy for the elderly is getting better and better."

"You mean, I will come to Huaihua City to support the elderly in the future?" Father asked.

"I believe you will like this new town more and more. The air and environment here are as good as those in the countryside."

That night, my father and I both slept very late.

[See the micro-knowledge]

The "dead end road" is smooth.

On September 17, Peng Li, an individual industrial and commercial household who runs stationery in Yingfeng Middle Road, Huaihua City, drove to Hexi to purchase goods. It used to take half an hour, but now it takes only more than 10 minutes to get to Hexi Wholesale City. He said with emotion: "The’ Broken Road’ is connected, and now the purchase is very smooth."

In recent years, Huaihua City has paid attention to people’s livelihood from small projects, and concentrated its efforts on fighting tough battles in the urban "broken roads", which have optimized the urban traffic network and eased the difficulties for citizens to travel. (Jun Xiao)

The "old bachelor" lives in a new house as the groom

On September 18th, I walked into the resettlement building of Yinjialing Village, Liangtingao Township, Hecheng District, Huaihua City. The red couplets on Xia Changtie Gate, a 54-year-old villager, are still eye-catching. In the past, Yin Changtie lived in a shed-style house in a ravine and remained a bachelor. After moving to a new house with convenient transportation this year, he married the bride back home.

Huaihua, as one of the main battlefields of ex situ poverty alleviation and relocation in our province, completed the task of ex situ poverty alleviation and relocation of 25,734 people last year. This year, 166 centralized resettlement projects and decentralized resettlement projects in the city have started construction, and more than 58,000 poor people will move to their new homes this year. (Jun Xiao)

Now the village is like a park.

"Now the village is like a park, attracting many people from the city to visit." Recently, Zhou Yuru, a villager from Zhoujiaren Village, Chenyang Town, Chenxi County, told reporters that she had been taking her grandson away for three years. When she returned to the village this year, she found that the garbage piled up like a mountain bag by the stream was gone, and the cement road leading to the door was clean and tidy. Surrounded by green trees in each yard, I really wondered if I had gone to the wrong door.

The change of Zhoujiaren Village stems from the construction of "beautiful countryside Happy Home" in Huaihua City, which focuses on "three transformations and one reform" (purification, greening, Chunhua and rural housing renovation). At present, the city has built more than 500 tourism demonstration villages in beautiful countryside. Since 2015, through the development of rural tourism, more than 150,000 farmers have been employed and nearly 50,000 poor people have been lifted out of poverty. (Jun Xiao)
